The essential category of scholars does not change with a remodeled platform. From the studious, contemplative ones to the talkative, disruptive varieties, they are all there to make a classroom look like a classroom. Nevertheless, what changes is their language, their culture, their backgrounds; as they hail from completely different countries everywhere in the world. To deal with this diversified, inquisitive bunch of individuals is the toughest problem. Once you have mastered this art, it is straightforward to get your message across. Observe these guidelines to simplify online class administration:
* On-line tutoring permits a student to choose his personal most well-liked time for having a session. * Typically buyer care assist is accessible 24/7 that permits college students to get assist or help any time they require. * Some web sites also allows college students to make collection of their own tutor. * Online tutoring is a better utilization of time. As students needn't exit of their home to take sessions, so clearly it saves time, money and in addition vitality. * College students can even get assist for his or her homework and assignments. * Online tutoring is delivered one-on-one so a pupil can ask questions at any time when required without hesitating.
The lessoned discovered here is to provide directions in straightforward to comply with and manageable steps then reinforce the training or tutoring experience with exercises that will give the students plenty of observe. And did I not mention that even when the material is clearly understood and seemingly locked into the scholar's mental database, evaluation remains to be required periodically.

Note: All applicants will be subject to a credit reference check by the lender.
The approval of your application depends on your financial circumstances and borrowing history. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photo Video act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan. You will also receive reminder letters and text at the end of the deferral period to remind you when your first payment is due.

How to Log on to Outlook Web Access
Outlook Web Access lets you check your Outlook email online at any time. Outlook Web Access looks like and shares some features with Microsoft Outlook. They differ because Outlook Web Access is accessed online while Microsoft Outlook is downloaded and used on a computer. Outlook Web Access can be accessed any time as long as you have an Internet connection and proper log in credentials.
Ask the Network Administrator for the OWA Server Address
Check with the Microsoft Exchange or network administrator to see if the company supports OWA. The network administrator should supply the server address, which appears in the form "https:///OWA." The username and password to OWA will be the same as the domain username and password required to log onto an office workstation
How to Find the Outlook Web Access Server Address
Step1: Contact your IT department and get your Outlook Web Access login and site credentials. Your IT department can let you know the limit of inactivity allowed before Outlook Web Access will log you out. Once you have this information you can successfully log in to Outlook Web Access.
Step 2:- Access the Outlook Web Access log in page. Specify if you are using a private or public computer in the "Security" section. Check the option for "Outlook Web Access Light" if you want simple email interface.
Step 3:-Enter your user name and password. Click "Logon" to log in to Outlook Web Access.
For Microsoft Exchange users to access their email accounts through Outlook Web Access, they must have the address, or URL, to the company's Exchange Server. There are two ways to check for the OWA server address. Users can ask their network administrator for the server address or they can check their "Account Settings" in Microsoft Outlook to verify support for OWA.
Check the Settings of the Microsoft Outlook Account
While logged into the computer in the office, open Microsoft Outlook and click "File" and then "Account Settings." The OWA server address, if it exists, should be displayed underneath the text "Access this account on the web." Copy the link, paste it into the browser window and then press "Enter." Next, enter the domain username and password at the OWA logon screen.

Online Booking For Buses From Bangalore To Goa
Currently, there is a high demand online for both travel information and for online ad space from travel related businesses and services. So perhaps the best way is to check through the online travel sites to get an idea of what the basic costs are going to be, but then actually book through the airlines. You can travel where ever you want to. You can always find new things to see and do when you travel.
First and foremost, with an online travel agency, you can work with the place that has the lowest prices without geography limits. Everybody who loves travel knows that the one who gets the better deals is the best!! The websites of each company has a list of its adventure trips, with its itineraries, prices and photos to give you a 'feel' of the adventure.
With , you have the advantage of finding the best in airfare , hotel , rentals and vacation package deals , offered by some of the top travel sites on the Web, in one place—. Tourism can generate funds for the restoration of UNESCO sites but at the same time unchecked tourism can damage them seriously.
One should not pay any redundant work charges and pay according to the type of object not by the enumerate of grouping travelling in it. By booking online one can study the charges a priori and avoid chances of getting duped. At TripAdvisor, we believe in the power of travel — and in helping you make the most of every trip.
This is important because there are some third party sites with poor booking technology where this is not the case. If you are not yet in the travel business but would like to get a taster, you can also purchase a turnkey travel affiliate website. Plus, earn Ctrip Points and C-Money to get great travel rewards, including free flights and hotel stays!

Correct protein function is critically dependent upon conformation - if a protein is not correctly folded, it will not execute its function or worse, it may be toxic. Circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) is an exquisitely sensitive probe of protein conformation but is often perceived as a technique limited by its lack of productivity perhaps because, until recently, CD spectrometers have remained resolutely manual in operation.
This study describes a new automated CD technique for measuring protein conformation and how it changes with pH and, by extension, with other variables. The study confirms the robustness of the technique and, with unattended running of up to 200 samples per day, demonstrates very considerable improvements in productivity over manual CD measurements.
Stock solutions bovine serum albumin (BSA), sodium phosphate and sodium citrate were used to prepare buffered samples from pH2.2 to pH8. The concentration of BSA was 1mg/ml; the samples were prepared directly in a 96-well plate and each protein solution was paired with its buffer.
Buffers and samples were transferred in turn by a fixed-probe, x, y, z linear-motion robot to a Chirascan-plus automated CD spectrometer. CD and absorption spectra were measured simultaneously and in duplicate for each.
The robot transferred 40µl of solution from the well to a 0.1mm pathlength flow-cell via an injection port. The CD and absorption spectra were measured before the sample was then removed from the cell and the cell washed and dried, ready for the next solution (Fig. 1). Buffers and samples were treated identically. Each fully automated measurement/wash cycle took 7.5 minutes.
The short-wavelength limit is governed by increasingly high absorption at shorter wavelengths. The highest total absorption occurred at pH5, reaching 2AU at 188nm, defining the effective lower wavelength limit for the experiment.
There are two isosbestic points, one occurring at 206nm in the range pH2.2 to pH3.8 and the second occurring at 201nm in the range pH4.0 to pH8.0 (Fig. 2). This agrees with findings reported in the literature1 which suggest that BSA adopts three different conformations in the range of pH covered in this study: the N-form which occurs at physiological pH, the F-form which may also be physiologically active and the extended or E-form, which dominates at lower pH values.
The CD spectra of the buffers show no significant drift during the experiment, nor is there any evidence of cross-contamination, indicating that the inter-sample cleaning regime is very effective (Fig. 3).
Simply plotting a contour map of the raw data would give an immediate, qualitative feel for the stability of the protein; a histogram of the ratio of positive to negative peak-heights would give a semi-quantitative picture and highlight conformational changes in a concentration-independent way. For quantitative results, however, some modelling of the data is required.
The presence of two isosbestic points indicates that a three-state model would be appropriate to describe the data. Global fitting of the model to the data yielded end-point spectra and the concentration profiles of the three species. The pKa values were calculated to be 2.34 for the E- and F-form and 4.44 for the F- and N-form equilibria respectively. The concentration profiles can be used to determine the onset of conformational change.
The conformational stability (contour) map for the three-state model as a function of pH is shown in Fig. 4. The region of conformational stability (pH>5.8) of the calculated spectra is well-defined, unambiguous and needs no expert interpretation.
A new automated method to measure and analyse the conformational stability of proteins has been described. The model protein BSA was used in this study but automated CD spectroscopy could be equally well applied to study the relative conformational stabilities of bio-therapeutic candidates in response to changing pH, ionic strength, ligand binding and other variables. The improvement in reproducibility, productivity and sample economy brought to CD by automation give it the qualities needed to help identify promising bio-therapeutic candidates at the pre-formulation phase of product development.

I LoooOOOOOooOOOoOOOOVe mob psycho, I'd say it's even better than one punch man. Either way, here's a fan art!
About Mob Psycho 100
I love One Punch Man, I really do, and while Mob is just as much of a comedy/ parody as OPM, I think it takes itself more seriously, considering the message it's trying to send :
Being a better version of yourself, not using your natural talent, but through your own effort.
I think it's a beautiful message, and it's something I wish I had learned when I was still young. It's also so much easier to get attached to Mob, because many are like us, fragile and insecure. And don't forget about Top S tier Husbando: Reigen.
I could talk on and on about my love for Mob, but there are already so many video essays on youtube. Just go and watch any of those. I also have to give props for One, the creator. He's not the best draftsman, but he is an excellent storyteller. I hope I can get to his level someday.
"Don't do it Mob. When things go south, it's ok to run away!"Reigen Arataka

3 Ways To Get Your Inner Critic Off Your Biz's Board of DirectorsMichele PW
July 23, 2012 — 2,122 views
So you know about your Inner Critic and you think he or she is residing on your biz's board of directors, which is impacting your business.
So the REAL question is how do you do you get him or her OFF your board of directors?
Well, here are 3 keys to get you started:
1. Turn the voice down of your Inner Mean Girl or Bully. Sounds easier said than done, eh? Well, the way to get started is to identify their voice (which is NOT your voice) so you can stop listening to them.
At first you'll probably find the voice getting louder, but that's okay. It means you're on the right track. Eventually you'll be able to start turning the volume down.
2. Give your Inner Mean Girl or Bully another job. Although it usually doesn't feel like it, your Inner Mean Girl or Bully came into existence to protect you. Yes it's a misguided protection and yes at this point she or he is hurting you more than helping you, but nonetheless his or her original job was to help.
So now that the job has got completely twisted up, it's time to give her or him a new job. A job that really WILL help and not hurt.
For instance, does your Inner Mean Girl like to compare you to others? Well maybe her new job should be as a talent scout -- to find other talented people to hire or partner up with -- rather than compare you to them.
See how this can work?
3. Start listening to your intuition or Inner Wisdom. Probably the biggest problem with your Inner Mean Girl or Bully is their voice is so darn loud it drowns out the voice of your intuition. How can you possibly figure out what your next step is supposed to be in your business if your Inner Wisdom is engaged in a shouting match with your Inner Mean Girl? (And unfortunately Inner Wisdom really isn't all that talented at shouting -- unlike your Inner Mean Girl who excels at throwing fits.)
So how can you hear your Inner Wisdom? A good place to start is to get quiet. Inner Wisdom can't hear herself or himself think when there's all this noise around. (Hence why your Inner Mean Girl or Bully have gotten so darn good at being noisy.) Give yourself room to just sit and breathe and keep telling your Inner Mean Girl or Bully to hush. Eventually you'll start to "hear" your Inner Wisdom.
(And you'll know it's your Inner Wisdom because your Inner Wisdom will NEVER lie to you, where your Inner Mean Girl or Bully often lie and are in fact very good liars.)
Now this might not be easy at first but don't give up. The more you do it the easier it will be. And wouldn't it be wonderful to stop having that darn Inner Mean Girl or Bully yapping in your ear and instead be able to truly follow your Inner Wisdom?

As I Please: Year in Review
Tribune Editor-at-large Chris McLaughlin takes stock of 2018 and looks to the challenges of the year ahead.
It was a vintage year for fake news. In 2018 we were told that austerity was coming to an end, and those who had made all of the sacrifices would now reap its rewards — It wasn't, and they won't.
The economic skew ensured that the rich got even richer while the number of people living below the official poverty line passed 14 million. A report by Philip Alston, the United Nations rapporteur on extreme poverty, described the government's approach as 'punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous' and the rising levels of child poverty as 'not just a disgrace but a national calamity and a national economic disaster'.

As many tourists seem to do, we picked Bondi Beach as our first stop during our coastal visit to Sydney, Australia.
While doing a lot of research for our trip, most every blog and itinerary I found recommend visiting this world renowned beach.
We had high hopes and were excited to spend the day relaxing in the beach as a family.
Unfortunately, upon arriving, we found the beach to be unappealingly crowded, short of our exceptions and not an idealistic place for our beach day out.
I must admit Bondi Beach has a lot to offer and is definitely lively and action packed, which can be an appealing place for many.
However, at the time our children were young and our little one was only a few months.
It was important for us to be able to relax and focus on our kids without too many distractions that included having to worry about them wandering off in the crowds and getting lost.
Not long after we had made our way into Bondi Beach, we decided to drive up to a little more secluded spot.
Tamarama Beach was conveniently close while giving the feel of being a more quaint and less frequented option.
Although not far from all the action of its neighboring sister beach, we found Tamarama Beach to be a little piece of paradise with an even more picturesquely intimate setting and local vibe.
It became clear to me this was truly a hidden gem most tourists were unaware of and definitely frequented more by the locals than tourists.
Bathrooms were nearby which is always a plus, especially when traveling with little ones.
The stunning cliff views with charming homes above made it all the more memorable.
We found it to be kid approved with its soft pristine sand, making it easy to move around and play in.
Our kids spent hours building sand castles and taking turns burying each other.
Nearby shallow tide pools made for a convenient way for the kids to get in and out of the water without getting overwhelmed by crashing waves.
As parents, we spent our time playing with the kids and also relaxing while they enjoyed the safe environment.
Definitely Tamarama Beach proved to be a great choice for a family getaway without having to worry about crowds and busy chaos from the more congested Bondi Beach.

Project Finance Company in Bangalore
The financing of projects is the financing of long-term infrastructure, industrial projects and public services using a financial structure without resources or with limited resources. The debt and capital used to finance the project are reimbursed from the cash flow generated by the project. Project financing is a loan structure that is based primarily on the cash flow of the project for repayment, and the assets, rights and interests of the project are held as a secondary guarantee. Project financing is especially attractive to the private sector because companies can finance large off-balance-sheet projects.
What is project financing?
It is the most common question in the industry, but it is difficult to answer because there is no consensus definition of project financing. Worse yet, many of the most commonly used definitions of project financing do not agree. Despite the lack of a consensus definition of project financing, there is almost universal agreement on the characteristics of project financing that are common in each project financing.
Because there are numerous features of project financing present in all project financing, we look at those characteristics of project financing to provide context to our clients and visitors. Identifying the characteristics of the financing of projects that are common to all project financing is important to understand the financing of projects. If the funding you are looking for for your project includes all the features highlighted below, it is a virtual certainty that the project financing is the course you must follow to fund your agreement.
We Focus on
Seed Funding
Venture Capital Funding
Private Equity Funding
Bridge Financing
Debt Syndications from Banks/NBFCs
Buyers Credit
Asset Leasing Financing
External Customer Borrowings

As you know I have had a secret for some time now. I promised I will share it with you and what's a better time then Christmas!?
So, it's official now - I'm pregnant guys! :))) It's a BIG thing for me and my Hubby - it's our first and hopefully not last! We tried for over a year and then finally I had to have an operation in September (some of you may remember that...). Everything was a success though and I'm 16 weeks pregnant :)
No long reading today - as I'm sure you're all enjoying good food and great time with your family and friends. So only few words from me today:
Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia! Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Frohe Weihnachten! Καλά Χριστούγεννα! Nollaig Shona Duit!
Buon Natale! С Рождеством Христовым! Feliz Natal! Feliz Navidad!
P.S. Yo'll never guess what I found under Christmas tree... "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child and "My life in France" - Julia Child again :D

SUPPORTERS of Scariff-Ogonnelloe Camogie Club will travel to St Brendan's Park in Birr on Sunday hoping to see their team go a step further than in 2013, when they compete in the All-Ireland Junior Camogie Club Championship final.
Leinster champions will again provide the opposition and this time Johnstownbridge stand between them and the All-Ireland title. Three years ago, Myshall from Carlow proved too strong for the Clare side.
Johnstownbridge will carry the favourites' tag, as they are the defending champions but Scariff-Ogonnelloe have shown impressive form all season and their supporters are confident that the Clare girls will give a good account of themselves in Sunday's game, which throws in at 2pm.
In the semi-final two weeks ago, the Clare intermediate champions recorded a facile win over the Ulster champions, Ballysaran, and they will have learned little from that outing. Johnstownbridge, on the other hand, had to fight all the way for victory in their match against a strong Athleague outfit.
In Siobhán Hurley, Róisín O'Connell and Miriam Murphy, the title holders have strong players but the Clare representatives will look to Marian O'Brien, Amy Barrett, Aisling Corbett, Róisín O'Brien, Rachel Minogue, Aoife Power and Mairéad Scanlan to give them an edge.
There is no doubt that Scariff-Ogonnelloe face a big task but such is the commitment they have given since last January, that they will make the holders battle all the way. Also, the experience of having been in the final three years ago, together with their high level of fitness, is sure to be a huge help as they seek to bring the national title to their club.
While Johnstownbridge are favourites to win, such is the effort that Scariff-Ogonnelloe have put in this year that they must be given a great chance of causing an upset.

Nevada isn't a stranger to voting on cannabis legalization, as the state has defeated two efforts in the past. However, 2016 will be the first year that Silver State voters will have their say on legalization after seeing the positive results in other states and in a presidential election year, when voter turnout is greater. Polling in favor of the Question 2 legalization effort has been relatively strong in Nevada, but a wildcard has been the entrance of right-wing billionaire Sheldon Adelson into the race, both with his money and in the purchase of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nevada's largest newspaper.
The Review-Journal's Editorial Board initially endorsed cannabis legalization, but flip-flopped on the issue after Adelson bought the paper. While it is a free, capitalist country and Adelson can choose an editorial board that fits his agenda, it was really disrespectful of its readership for the paper to not even mention the ownership change in the flip-flopping editorial. If legalization doesn't pass in Nevada, Sheldon Adelson will certainly take a lot of credit, but according to polling commissioned by his paper, supporters of Question 2 slightly outnumber those opposed:
Likely Nevada voters narrowly support the ballot measure that would legalize recreational marijuana use in the state, according to a poll commissioned by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Forty-seven percent of poll respondents support Question 2, which would allow adults 21 and older to legally buy and consume marijuana, according to the poll conducted by Bendixen & Amandi International. Forty-three percent oppose the measure, and 10 percent said they are still undecided or didn't answer.
The new poll shows a slight drop among Nevadans opposing the measure. A Review-Journal poll conducted in September showed voters were virtually deadlocked on the issue, with 47 percent supporting it and 46 percent opposing.
With a margin of error of 3.5%, we could be looking at a nailbiter in Nevada. It is a good sign that it looks like some opposition has softened and moved into the undecided column since the last poll, but Nevada can only be characterized as a tossup for cannabis legalization, as well as the state's important U.S. Senate race and presidential vote.
With young voters penchant for supporting legalization, it would be prudent for Democrats and progressives, who want to see Hillary Clinton elected over Donald Trump and Catherine Cortez Masto in the Senate instead of Republican Joe Heck, to assist and contribute to the Question 2 effort. The Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol campaign has done some great work and can certainly use help down the finish line to win this extremely tight race.

Would Like To Try Organic Gardening? These Pointers May Help
Learn how to beautify your outdoor spaces together with the helpful horticulture tips in this article to help you come up with a garden that everybody will love. You could have a good plan on what you require, so you may not waste money unnecessary equipment, or perhaps the wrong kinds of seeds.
The handles on your tools can be used clever rulers. Just lay your tool down on the ground then lay a yardstick beside the handles.Make use of a bright permanent marker to label the distances.
Brighten your flower beds with biennials and biennials. You may fill gaps between shrubs or perennials. Some flowers you can use are marigold, cosmos, sunflower and rudbekia or sunflowers.
Bulbs are a good option for people who wish to enjoy spring and also in summer. Various kinds of bulbs bloom at different times, so choosing appropriately, you could have blooms early spring to later summer.
As soon as the fall season approaches, you need to plant autumn edibles. A pumpkin can become a planting container as opposed to clay pots. Once you've cut its top and scooped the insides out, spray the inside and edges with Wilt-Pruf to keep the pumpkin from rotting.
Don't mow your grass down by the soil whenever you run the mower. The roots will grow deeper to the soil, making the lawn more and stronger resistant to drying out, when you allow your grass to develop a little bit longer. Short grass alternatively is quite likely going to getting dried out and turning brown.
Pest control is incredibly difficult for those who have a veggie garden. One way that you can help control garden pests away is usually to remain diligent about your garden. When you catch the pests early, it is possible to take them off by hand effectively.
You simply need a little bit homework, some work in the outdoors, plus some patience. The time and effort are going to pay off, and you will probably notice a good reward for the work.

Measuring for net curtains involves taking two measurements on your window. If you already have a net curtain wire or net curtain rod in place measure the drop from the wire or rod to where you want the curtain to end. If not, then measure from the top of the frame (not the glass), inside the window reveal. For the width measure the width of the existing wire or net curtain rod, or the frame if none is currently fitted.
Net curtains come in standard drops with a hem made at the top for the net curtain wire or rod to pass through, so the next step is to choose the nearest drop to your measurement. This may be slightly less or more than your measurement and still work for your window. If a standard drop is not quite right for your window, you can shorten the curtain net by turning over the top hem, or our seamstresses can shorten the next longest drop to your measurement. The standard drops available are:
Café nets:
- 30cm / 12″
- 40cm / 16″
- 45cm / 18″
- 60cm / 24″
Standard nets:
- 90cm / 36″
- 101cm / 40″
- 106cm / 42″
- 114cm / 45″
- 137cm / 54″
- 153cm / 60″
- 160cm / 63″
- 183cm / 72″
- 206cm / 81″
- 229cm / 90″
- 275cm / 108″
Once you know which drop you want, you need to decide how full to have your curtains. The standard fullness is 2 x your width measurement, but if you want additional privacy you can go for 2.5 or even 3 times fullness. Multiply your width measurement by the fullness you've chosen and that gives the length of net curtain fabric you need to buy. Most net curtains do not fray, so you can leave the edges as cut. If you prefer a hemmed edge, you can do this yourself or our seamstresses can hem them for you.
See here for the net curtains and drops we have available or browse the full range below and on our webshop.
Example window measurements:
Drop 142cm, Width 183cm
Drop chosen 140cm, 2x fullness so 366cm of net curtain needed. You may need to round this up to 4m of net curtain fabric, depending on how it is sold.
For net curtain wire, you will need slightly less than the width of the window to allow for the eyes(loops) on the end of the wire and so the wire is slightly stretched. We would usually take about 2″/5cm from the width measured to allow for this, but you can cut the wire yourself at home with a pair of pliers to get the correct tension for your window. Net curtain rods come in standard sizes to fit a range of window sizes.

60th Celebrations
Throughout the week commencing Monday 11th June 2018, the School celebrated 60 years on its current site. To start off the week, a special service was held at Bourn church, during which Year 6 children sang the hymn, 'Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise' – a hymn sang back when the School first opened in 1958.
Throughout the week there were lots of different activities to commemorate the event with parties in each classroom, an exciting fete organised by the BSA and a fantastic children's entertainer who taught the children how to reduce their use of plastics to protect the planet for the next 60 years and beyond. The week culminated with a highly entertaining 'Dancing Through the Decades' assembly in which each year group performed a song and dance from a different decade.

Real estate investors are cheering on the announcement of the first automated light railway in Cambodia, Realestate.com.kh reported.
The upcoming rapid transit system, which will serve various routes throughout Phnom Penh, will be made possible with USD800 million in funding from Japan.
Leading personalities in the property sector welcomed the news as a sign of rising investor confidence in the bustling Khmer capital. "When a city experiences major infrastructural developments such as this one, it increases the confidence of investors significantly," said Sorn Seap, chief executive of property consultancy Key Real Estate. "And this will push the real estate sector upwards – to be stronger and more sustainable into the future."
Three sky railways have been planned for the city. The first line will stretch between Kampuchea Krom Boulevard, Monivong Boulevard, Russian Boulevard, and the Choam Chao roundabout.
The planned skytrains would relieve the increasingly choked arteries of Phnom Penh and offer a faster mode of transport to commuters who live in outlying areas of the metro, Sorn noted.
"It affirms that the country is proactively looking into the future – as opposed to reactively adjusting to issues as they arise."
Japanese land minister Keiichi Ishii, in his visit to the country May 5, signed an agreement on the railway development with Minister Hor Namhong. Ishii's visit also conveyed the Japanese government's pledge to provide a USD200 million loan to Cambodia for a deep-sea port in Sihanoukville.
"Japan has always played an important role in Cambodia's development, and have invested in major infrastructure systems – for example, National Road 1," Easy Property Investment CEO Mam Sereypanha told Realestate.com.kh.
"When an investor arrives in Phnom Penh and is stuck in the traffic on the way to the centre, it affects their perception of the country significantly. A sky train will offer both citizens and investors easy access to the city and, hopefully, put Phnom Penh in a better light for prospectors."

In our post about waterproof breathable fabrics (WBFs), we emphasized the importance of waterproof breathable textiles for sportswear and discussed their main functions, properties, and applications as well as the current trends on the WBFs market and future projections of their use. We also mentioned various clothes made of waterproof materials such as rain jackets and the reason why they're so important for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. The purpose of this article is to discuss the main types of waterproof breathable clothes, the various constructions, and the expected performance.
More and more people engage in and enjoy outdoor sports and activities. There are various reasons for the increasing popularity of outdoor pursuits, but among the most important ones are the excitement, the challenges, and difficulties under various environmental conditions as well as the opportunity to spend some time outdoors and reconnect with nature. Since both the environment and the heat generated by activities are beyond the control of the person engaged in outdoor sports, it is important to provide people with reliable sportswear ready to meet the challenges of rough terrain and/or bad weather. For maximal enjoyment, this clothing must provide both protection from the environment and comfort. It normally forms a layered clothing system, suitable for various activities to be undertaken in various environmental conditions.
Layering is among the most important concepts regarding outdoors apparel. A layered clothing system usually consists of three layers of clothing, each with its functions: a wicking and quick-drying base layer, a breathable mid layer to trap still air next to the skin for better thermal insulation, and a wind- and water-resistant outer layer for maximum protection from the elements. For complete protection from rain or water, it is possible to wear a fully waterproof jacket. However, the use of a simple waterproof outer layer is ineffective because it shields from rain and snow but it doesn't let internal water vapor to escape. This leads to a formation of condensation in the clothing system, which seriously decreases the system's capacity for ensuring insulation and weather protection. Moreover, this can dampen your insulating layers, which leads to the feeling of clamminess and what's worse – to excessive cooling. Therefore, to provide both protection and comfort to the user, the outer layer must be waterproof and breathable.
Waterproof breathable clothes
Consumers have high expectations of sportswear, particularly of waterproof and breathable clothes. They expect functionality, aesthetics, fit, comfort, ease of movement, reliability, and protection from environmental conditions like rain, snow, and cold. Certainly, both functionality and aesthetics are not always equally necessary as functionality is more important for professional sportswear while aesthetics may be preferred for sport clothes worn in the city. Thus, the level of activity must be taken into account in the design stage. There are also important components of a waterproof garment that must be specially designed. Among them: cuffs, hems, zippers, hoods, pockets, and seams.
Waterproof breathable fabrics are laminates, consisting of up to three distinct bonded layers. 3-layer constructions are the most waterproof and most durable, but also heaviest and least breathable. Such constructions often look the following way:
- Face fabric treated with a durable water repellent (DWR). It's usually made of nylon or polyester and is expected to be durable. In general, the thicker the fabric, the more durable the garment.
- Waterproof breathable membrane.
- Lining protects the membrane from abrasion and pore-clogging contaminants such as body oils.
There are three main types of constructions.

2-layer laminates
These are the original waterproof breathable constructions. Each 2-layer construction is a laminated product with a DWR-treated face fabric and a waterproof breathable layer. The linings are often warp-knitted mesh constructions (to promote airflow) attached by a separate fabric or mesh liner that hangs inside of the garment. PU coating at the hem and cuff prevents rain wicking into the interior of the garment.
- Comfort
- Flexibility
- Lowest price in comparison with the other types of laminates
- Extra weight due to the added layer
- Reduced breathability because of the liner
This type of construction is prevalent in light-to-medium-weight garments for skiing, hiking as well as casual and fashion jackets, and some rain pants.
|Want a lightweight shell jacket to protect you against the elements while living an active life? Then, look for a versatile rain jacket with attractive features.
Designed to provide a dry and comfortable outdoor experience, the Helly Hansen Seven J Jacket is a great all-round rain jacket that offers full water and wind protection on and off the trail. It's stylish and looks great but more importantly – it's well-made, easy to pack, and can be used as both a rain jacket and a windbreaker during hiking excursions, fishing trips, and other outdoor activities. It functions best in warmer weather but the cut fits well even when wearing additional layers underneath for more warmth in winter.

2.5-layer laminates
Their construction is very similar to the construction of the 2-layer laminates, as the main difference is that the protective fabric or scrim gets eliminated in exchange for a printed or sprayed-on partial protective layer. It provides a barrier between the laminate and the skin or other clothing layers.
- Lightest type
- Flexibility
- Compactness
- Relatively low cost
- Fragile
- Reduced breathability because of the protective layers
2.5-layer laminates are used mainly for lightweight and ultralight rain clothing. They're suitable for intensive outdoor activities such as fell running and mountain biking.
3-layer laminates
They comprise three layers as described above. A waterproof breathable membrane is glued between the face fabric and a soft lining to produce a material that is hardwearing but slightly stiff. This is the most durable of all three types of laminates described here because the membrane is protected by fabric on both sides. It is developed for the needs of alpinists and other outdoor enthusiasts who are in a need of hard-wearing waterproof garments.
- Durability
- Waterproofness
- Most expensive type
- Lower breathability than the 2-layer construction
- Least flexibility
3-layer laminates are widely used in the top range of outdoor sportswear. Garments incorporating these fabrics are promoted as exclusive high-performance shells.
The main principle of how waterproof and breathable fabrics function is relatively simple and it is also quite logical. In short, their functionality depends on the relative humidity levels: moisture wants to establish an equilibrium that's why if it's more humid inside the garment, moisture will move outward and the opposite.
The first two tables below show fabric waterproofness and breathability ratings together with a brief explanation of the practical meaning of these ratings. Table 3 shows the heat energy produced by various activities and the corresponding perspiration rates related to these pursuits.

Several studies have shown that waterproof breathable fabrics can be ranked according to their capacity to transfer water vapor to the ambient environment. These agree that ePTFE laminated membranes are most permeable, followed by hydrophilic and PU microporous laminates and then PU coatings. However, even the capacity for moisture vapor transfer through ePTFE membranes is limited as Table 3 shows. It confirms that water vapor cannot be completely diffused despite the manufacturers' claims about the breathability of their products. Moreover, rain and snow reduce breathability further because the vapor pressure above the fabric is increased. Additionally, in prolonged precipitation as well as in cold weather (because of condensation), pores on the fabric can get clogged. Therefore, you should expect the breathability of a waterproof breathable jacket or rain pants to be compromised in the field, mostly by moisture, but also by dirt, and body oils.
What are the waterproofness and breathability ratings of today's sportswear? First, let's begin with the fact that manufacturers use different numbers to label their products "waterproof" so it can be really hard to compare two "waterproof" garments from different producers, especially if their ratings are not publicly announced as often happens. However, any garment with a rating of 20 000mm or more is acknowledged to be fully waterproof. The situation with breathability ratings is worse because different manufacturers often use different methods to measure breathability. Moreover, various test methods use different temperatures or humidity conditions and can give vastly differing values. By the way, nowadays, you will rarely see any breathability ratings on the labels of the garments.
What most people don't know is that despite the fact that there are various names, brands, and garments on the market, the number of WBFs manufacturers is far smaller. Nowadays, the waterproofness of most products falls within 8000-28 000mm water column per 24 hours, while the range of breathability is between 5000g/m2 and 30 000g/m2 per 24 hours. Just for a reference, 20 years ago, the breathability of the then modern WBFs was no more than 10 000g/m2.
Main features of waterproof clothing
The intense effort during sports leads to increased sweating, thus the waterproof breathable clothing intended for sportswear needs to be functional enough to ensure a higher moisture transfer rate from the body towards the exterior. In addition, it needs an appropriate design and the use of special manufacturing methods engineered towards guaranteeing that the sportswear will retain its waterproofness and durability during wear.
Seams are one of the weakest spots of waterproof clothing as a failure of the seams can threaten the performance of their waterproofness. Main reasons for this are wear and tear as they can quickly degrade the seams. This can be avoided by paying special attention to their construction and location including and changing the type of the seams and/or the method of sealing the seams. Unfortunately, many manufacturers do not seal all seams but restrict sealing to the most vulnerable seams such as shoulder seams and side seams. They do that by using specific tapes (welding heat-seal tape is among the most popular types of sealing) for sealing the seams to avoid their failure. The use of adhesives for taping the inside is another common method for sealing seams. Proper stitching is also extremely important.
Linings and interlinings have an important influence on the ability of a waterproof and breathable garment to manage moisture. That's why – and mainly to prevent wetting – they are treated with a DWR. Without a water-repellent finish, linings and interlinings can quickly become saturated with moisture, which can accelerate the penetration of water. As a result, the functionality of the garment can be adversely affected.
Pockets are an essential part of waterproof clothes and are no less important than seams and linings. Their design, as well as their location, can be of crucial importance. Waterproof and breathable clothes are expected to have zippered pockets (with proofed linings) engineered to keep out wind and water. Driving rain and water that runs off the surface of the garment can easily penetrate patch pockets with a horizontal edge. So, such pockets aren't typical for waterproof constructions. If a waterproof garment has such pockets, they are usually watertight and/or have a Velcro flap so that they are not fully exposed to the rain.
Cuffs can be problematic because they need to fit snugly to avoid water penetration but they are also expected not to restrict ventilation and air circulation. For example, elasticated cuffs with adjustable openings can be used to facilitate ventilation.
Types of waterproof clothes
The most popular choices for rain gear are jackets, pants, gloves, and socks made of waterproof and breathable fabric.
Rain pants
Rain pants are generally made of nylon (or nylon blends) and waterproof breathable fabric. When buying a pair of rain pants, there are two important things to check: their functionality and the fit. They need to be wind-resistant and stretchy or loose-fitting for freedom of movement since they will probably be worn over other pants. There are two basic designs: simple pants and bib pants.
Bibs are bulky and heavy and have a high back and chest and suspenders. They are not suitable for summer trips – their best use is for cold weather expeditions. They cover much of the torso for two main reasons – this way they keep you warm and minimize the chance that snow will get into your clothes.
Simple pants are cheaper, lighter, less bulky, and easier to get on and off than bib pants. They're more versatile and are suitable for milder conditions (some types are actually ultralight, however, they are not suitable for continuous use because they are too fragile). For summer hiking, neither of these is better than a pair of shorts or synthetic pants as they're light, relatively warm, and dry quickly when damp.
Some of the most desirable features of rain pants include:
- Adjustable drawcords and cord locks for individual fit and to seal warmth in.
- Full-length zippers for getting the pants on over boots, crampons, skis, snowshoes, and for ventilation.
- Reinforced knees for added durability.
- Pockets for storing small personal items. Big pockets can hold a map, while zippered pockets are suitable for storing documents and money.
- Length – rain pants need to fully cover your base layer pants underneath. In very cold weather, you may prefer wearing fleece pants for better insulation, while in warmer weather it makes sense to choose thinner and lighter pants.
- Weight depends on design and fabric. Generally, heavier garments are more durable and will outlast lighter ones.
It takes time and practice to adjust clothing, so experiment donning and doffing it when necessary to keep from overheating, or from getting too cold.
Rain jackets
The outer layer should provide protection from wind and precipitation so you need to choose your rain jacket wisely keeping in mind that you must find one with the right balance between weight and functionality.
The ideal shell is lightweight, windproof, fully waterproof, and completely breathable, and it doesn't exist because there is no garment that can achieve all these objectives. Many passionate outdoorsmen carry two different shell layers – a lightweight windproof shell and a lightweight waterproof jacket. The reason is simple – it's barely impossible to find one piece of garment that's fully waterproof, completely breathable, and wind-resistant at the same time. You can be more flexible by carrying such a system with two different outer layers. Rain shell is usually worn only in heavier rain or for periods of low-intensity walking, while breathable wind gear is worn in cool and windy conditions, and for periods of heavy exertion.
Typical Waterproof Breathable Jacket Design

Rain jackets come in different styles and designs. Good jackets feature bonded watertight full front zippers and are easier to ventilate; they are large enough to handle most of your inner layers without restricting mobility; armpit zippers are typical as they allow for ample ventilation – aim for such models where you will be able to zip or unzip the underarm vents during movement with one hand only; seams must be properly sealed; bonded zippers and zipper garages keep the zippers dry; adjustable hems and sleeve cuffs add more functionality because they keep the cold out and offer more precise fit; a drawstring hood with adjustable pull wards off rain and provides protection from wind. In addition, large zippered side-entry pockets are easily accessible and useful for maps, hats, gloves, and other small personal items.
Keep in mind that in driving rain, you cannot stay completely dry on the trail no matter what you do – you will get some moisture, for sure, either from sweat (if you zip the rain jacket) or from precipitation (if you unzip to ventilate). However, you should do whatever is possible to minimize moisture.
The best way to maintain the functionality of a rain shell is to use it only when it is really needed. Rain jackets depend on waterproof breathable membranes or coatings that are too delicate. For example, breathability is reduced when fabric pores get clogged up with dirt and sweat. Thus, you need to: keep the shell clean (always follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper maintenance of the garment), and maintain the quality of the water-repellent finish applied on the shell surface. When you notice that the DWR on your rain jacket is falling, restore it with a wash-in or spray-on treatment. The outer layer of your rain jacket must be water-resistant in order to maintain the garment's breathability. The reason is that the DWR finish causes water to bead on a fabric surface without impairing breathability. As the finish degrades, the fabric becomes no different than a regular non-treated fabric – it gets saturated with moisture which seriously reduces the breathability of the rain shell. That's why you need to reproof the garment regularly.
Waterproof gloves and mittens
Waterproof gloves and mittens are usually used in cold and wet conditions. If used properly, they will protect your fingers and will keep your hands dry and warm on and off the trail. Wearing waterproof gloves and/or mittens is extremely important during hikes in mountainous terrain since rapid weather changes are typical for high elevation areas. In very cold conditions, even thermal waterproof gloves may not be enough to keep your hands warm. That's why layering is very popular among experienced outdoorsmen. When layering two or more pairs of gloves, the outer layer should be made with waterproof breathable fabric to provide protection against water coming from the outside and good vapor permeability to provide moisture transfer from the skin to the outer layers. Keep in mind that in prolonged wet conditions, sooner or later, your gloves will become wet inside and out.
The main construction is usually made from one or more of the following man-made materials: polyester, nylon, neoprene, polyurethane, and acrylic. Leather is also used; rubber is used in small amounts. Polyester is often combined with spandex to make the fabric stretchier to allow for better articulation. Lining's main materials include synthetic materials like polyester (mainly in the form of fleece fabric or tricot). Insulated waterproof gloves and waterproof mittens offer extra warmth but also less dexterity. Gloves and mitts may have removable fleece-lined (or merino wool) liners that can be worn when you need more dexterity or to avoid overheating during snow sports or some other high-intensity outdoor activities. Additional insulation is provided by hi-tech materials like Primaloft, Thinsulate, and Thermolite. Two and three-layer waterproof and breathable membranes will keep your hands dry and comfortable.
Good fit is critical as it directly influences the effectiveness of your waterproof gloves. Avoid wearing too tight or too loose gloves and mittens. In general, tight-fitting gloves and mitts for mountain are hard to get on and off with cold hands. Moreover, tighter gloves are less flexible and can restrict blood circulation. Loose gloves aren't suitable when performance is required as they may not give you the necessary dexterity.
Some of the most desirable features of waterproof gloves and mitts are:
- Bonded palms and fingers to provide a secure grip, dexterity, better control, and durability.
- Gauntlett cuffs with easy to adjust wrist strap, elasticated wrists to seal out cold air.
- Elastic drawstring with cord lock help keep warmth in and snow out.
- Waterproof zippered stash pockets on the backs of the hands for hand warmers.
- Pull-tabs for fast and easy on and off.
- Touch-screen compatible index finger.
- Retention cords that loop over the wrist make it easier and safer to remove the outer layer (in case you use a layered system) to accomplish a task.
Waterproof breathable gloves and mittens are perfect for hiking, mountaineering, fishing, cycling, work as well as winter sports and activities such as snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, etc.
Waterproof socks
Waterproof breathable socks are designed to keep your feet comfortable and dry even in warm weather when waterproof boots and shoes can be hot and sweaty. They can also keep your feet warm when hiking in the mud and snow or through wet grass or brush. Many hikers freak out when thinking about waterproof socks but the truth is that such socks give more protection than waterproof boots when crossing streams and puddles. Models with high-cut profile are much higher than boots and ensure that wind and weather can't harm your feet.
Typical 3-layer construction consists of a knit exterior, waterproof and breathable membrane, and moisture-wicking and antibacterial inner. The exterior is often made from a blend of two or more materials. The most popular materials are the following: merino wool, polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, TPU (thermoplastic urethane), and viscose. The inner made from COOLMAX (modified polyester) is moisture-wicking, antibacterial, and keeps feet fresh. Synthetics such as polyester, nylon, viscose, and spandex as well as merino wool and bamboo are other popular options primarily because of their moisture-wicking and antimicrobial abilities.
Some of the most desirable features and properties of waterproof socks are:
- Close-fitting socks keep feet warm and comfortable and promote blood circulation (too tight socks can actually restrict circulation).
- Seamless constructions reduce friction, which is the main cause of common skin problems such as chafing.
- Cushioning pads protect sensitive zones (ankle, heel, toes, and instep) against pressure for better blister protection.
- Ability to maintain their shape.
- Antibacterial linings.
What are the biggest downsides of wearing waterproof breathable socks?
- Once they get wet, they are slow to dry especially in colder or wetter weather.
- They aren't very durable with the exception of some models.
- Hiking in a downpour can considerably impair their breathability.
- The tightly woven construction can make them too hot and sweaty.
Waterproof socks are suitable for a variety of outdoor sports and activities in wet environments – hiking, mountaineering, cycling, riding, running, kayaking, etc.
Although we didn't call all types of waterproof breathable clothes in this article, you should know that there are various types of waterproof garments besides waterproof jackets, rain pants, waterproof gloves, and socks.
There are various constructions of waterproof breathable fabrics available on the market. Some of the most widely spread constructions are 2-layer, 2.5-layer, and 3-layer laminates. Each one has its own pros and cons related to its durability, breathability, weight, compactness, and price. Waterproof breathable constructions are used extensively in sports products especially to provide protection from the elements for hikers, mountaineers, cyclists, sailors, and other outdoor professionals and enthusiasts. Recent years have seen significantly increased participation in outdoor sports and activities so manufacturers offer different grades of fabrics suited to different performance requirements.
The technology behind designing WBFs and clothes has continued to evolve for achieving improved functionality. However, there is still significant potential for further developments.
