Delhi Daredevils have made a swap with Pune Warriors India, exchanging New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor for former Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra.
The Warriors had eight overseas players going into the 2013 auction. On auction day, the franchise bought three more overseas players - Michael Clarke, Ajantha Mendis and Kane Richardson - to reach the limit of 11 overseas players. ESPNcricinfo learned the Warriors released South African fast bowler Alfonso Thomas to make space for Taylor in their overseas player quota.
Taylor had been signed by Daredevils for an undisclosed fee in February 2012 from Rajasthan Royals. Warriors will be Taylor's fourth IPL team, after he represented Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first three seasons.
Sushanto Roy, managing director of Sahara Adventure Sports Ltd, which owns the Warriors, said Taylor will bolster their batting, "We are elated to have a batsman like Ross Taylor in our ranks. He will add muscle, panache and of course, experience, to our middle order in the forthcoming season."
This will be Nehra's second spell with the Daredevils, as he was previously part of the squad during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. He produced his best IPL performance during the 2009 season in South Africa, where he took 19 wickets from 13 matches.
In 2011 Nehra was bought by Pune Warriors India for $850,000 during the January player auction. However, he was unable to play the entire 2011 season because of a finger injury he had picked up during the World Cup semi-final between India and Pakistan. He returned next year and took 11 wickets in 13 matches at an average of 36.54.
"Ashish Nehra will constitute an integral part of our bowling attack in the 2013 season," TA Sekar, head of cricket at Delhi Daredevils, said. "We were the best team at the league stage in 2012, and with a player like him around, we are confident that we will go the distance."

"Remember, stay in the compartment under the truck's bed until you're past the last checkpoint and Franciszek gives you the signal. If the truck is stopped, do not make a sound or the soldiers will shoot you both."
Dominik Zheutlin was peering up at the member of the Fighting Solidarity movement. Normally, they didn't take these kinds of risks, but getting him out of Poland was a vital.
"Dzieki*. You don't know what this means to me."
" I know in the West you'll find a way to free the world, Dr. Zheutlin. Good luck."
The final board was placed over the defector. A nod to Franciszek told him it was time to depart for the German border. The resistance movement was counting on Zheutlin developing something that would finally defeat the Communists by changing history. Zheutlin was the only man in the world who could build a time machine.
I'm writing this for the What Pegman Saw writing challenge. Today, Pegman takes us to Wroclaw, Poland. The idea is to use Google maps images of the location as the inspiration for crafting a piece of flash fiction no more than 150 words long. My word count is exactly 149.
I'm leveraging some information from a story series I'm writing as an homage to the works of science fiction writer Andre Norton (Actually her name was Alice Mary Norton). One of my characters is a historian and linguist named Aiyana Zheutlin. In 2017, she's in her early 30s and works for Project Retrograde, an American time travel operation attempting to find and correct the historical causes of climate change (the most recent story as of this writing is Nereid).
Her father was Polish and her mother was English. In her original timeline, the Soviet Union still existed in 2017 and her father defected from Poland a few years before 1985. He didn't invent time travel in my actual storyline, that was another defector, but I had fun merging those two histories.
When I looked up Wroclaw, I found out an anti-Communist movement called "Fighting Solidarity" was founded there in 1982. They primarily fought the communists through disseminating information, but in this case, I gave them the opportunity to occasionally help defectors escape from behind the Iron Curtain.

Journey Stories… Hopes and promises of fresh starts. Grim realities of forced migrations and difficult journeys. Thrills of personal travel.
On Saturday May 24, 2014 at the Museum of Moab, the ribbon was cut - actually a banner made of Utah road maps was burst through - to officially launch the Utah tour of Journey Stories, a Museum on Main Street (MoMS) traveling exhibition developed by the Smithsonian Institution and brought to Utah by the Utah Humanities Council (UHC). MoMS is a collaboration between the Smithsonian and State Humanities Councils nationwide, and is expressly designed to deliver Smithsonian content and high-quality educational events to underserved communities.For twenty years, UHC has been bringing MoMS exhibitions to Utah, and supporting small museums and other local organizations to host the exhibitions and develop accompanying programming. Plans are already underway for the next MoMS tour, so contact UHC to find out how your community can host an exciting Smithsonian exhibition!
The Utah Journey Stories Tour
Journey Stories explores how migration and transportation built our nation, how it has changed us, and how our mobile world looked to travelers along the way. Everyone has a journey story, and we will be hearing many of them this year as the exhibition travels to five Utah communities:
· Museum of Moab, Moab - May 24 to July 11, 2014
· Uintah County Western Heritage Museum, Vernal - July 19 to September 5, 2014
· Utah Cultural Celebration Center, West Valley City - September 13 to October 24, 2014
· Granary Art Center in partnership with Snow College Library, Ephraim - November 1, 2014 to January 9, 2015
· Brigham City Museum of Art and History, Brigham City - January 17 to March 18, 2015
Each host site will create a local companion exhibit and develop a variety of public events that feature the history and heritage of their own communities. UHC has also partnered with the Utah Museum of Fine Arts to provide educational outreach programming through local schools and libraries (see their Journey Stories Traveling Museum Project at the Grand County Library in Moab).
You can learn more about the Utah tour of Journey Stories at http://www.utahhumanities.org/journeystories.htm
Hear Utah Journey Stories
We all know that Utah's history is full of wonderful journey stories. Some are very familiar, while others are secret treasures. This tour is an opportunity to hear and share many of those under-told stories. For the duration of the Journey Stories tour, UHC is devoting its Beehive Archive weekly radio show to highlighting Utah journey stories, with each episode providing a two-minute look at some of the most "pivotal and peculiar events in Utah's history." The Beehive Archive recordings will be available online at Utah Journeys from the Beehive Archive, as well as via a multimedia kiosk at each host location during the exhibition tour.
Share Your Community's Journey Stories
The opportunity to share Utah journey stories is not limited to organizations hosting the MoMS exhibition. Utah museums and other community organizations are welcome to take advantage of the Beehive Archive's statewide microphone and contribute their own episodes to the Utah Journey Stories collection. To learn more about how to do this, contact Megan van Frank at firstname.lastname@example.com or 801.359.9670. (You can also enjoy past episodes of the Beehive Archive at http://www.utahhumanities.org/BeehiveArchive.htm).
In addition to contributing to the Beehive Archive, there are many ways to collect and share your community's journey stories, including ideas listed here: http://www.utahhumanities.org/journeystories_utah_resources.htm
Everyone Can Join the Conversation
A participatory opportunity for sharing Utah journey stories is available through an open Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/UtahJourneyStories. This is an informal forum for individuals or organizations to share personal stories and photos, as well as links to articles, blogs, videos and other sites related to migration, mobility, transportation, or travel. Join this group and add your voice to this conversation about Utah journeys.
So, GET IN MOTION — Plan to see this wonderful exhibition at a town near you and participate in some of these great programs and activities. Share your stories through the Beehive Archive or the Utah Journey Stories Facebook group. And enjoy the Journey with this exhibition tour!

[August 2, 2019 – Hong Kong] Passenger traffic in Asia-Pacific recorded a moderate growth at +1.8% and a slight decline at -0.1% in the Middle East.
In China, both the domestic and international segments showed signs of improvement this month, likely due to the increase in vacation travels during national holidays. The three airports with the most passenger volume increase from last year were Shanghai Pudong (PVG) +6.7%, Chengdu (CTU) +6.7% and Shenzhen (SZX) +6.0%.
In India, passenger traffic continued to trend downward this month but the pace of decline decelerated especially in the domestic sector as the market adjusted to the impact of the service suspension of Jet Airways. Mixed results were recorded among the large airports: Delhi (DEL) -10.5%, Mumbai (BOM) -9.8% and Bangalore (BLR) +6.2%.
Elsewhere in Asia-Pacific, airports in Japan and Korea enjoyed robust growth, likely benefited from a boost in tourism during national holidays in Japan and China. Tokyo Narita (NRT), Osaka Kansai (KIX) and Seoul Incheon (ICN) grew at +6.2%, +9.6% and +6.8% respectively.
In the Middle East, the overall passenger traffic growth was flat at -0.1%. Dubai (DXB), the largest hub in the region, declined -21.1% this month as one of the two runways was closed for refurbishment since mid-April. On the other hand, Doha (DOH) experienced strong growth at +14.7% and appeared to be gradually recovering to its throughput levels before the diplomatic crisis.
In terms of air freight, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East declined at -5.7% and -4.0% respectively amid the ongoing trade tensions between the US and China, and weak global trade volumes. Whilst most major freight hubs reported negative growth in May, a number of airports managed to generate positive growth, led by Guangzhou (CAN) +4.8%, Doha (DOH) +2.9% and Shenzhen (SZX) +2.8%.
Created with the objective to benefit both airports and World Business Partner members, the WBP Capability Database is a unique platform where WBP of ACI Asia-Pacific can showcase their expertise with examples of projects undertaken or in progress while airport members can input search criteria to look for potential business partners to accomplish their airport development projects.
The WBP Capability Database is a unique service that is only available to WBP of ACI Asia-Pacific.

One of the first calls Mark Hughes took after being called into the chairman's office at Manchester City for the final time last December came from Sir Alex Ferguson. The two men had spent the previous two seasons playing the role of grumpy neighbours, arguing about who had the best lawn but, on this occasion, the Manchester United manager showed an appreciation that, beyond all the sniping and the headlines and rivalry, there was still some old-fashioned respect and a sense, too, of having to speak up for what was right.
"For some reason, Christmas seems to bring out the worst in directors," Ferguson would later say of City's clandestine approaches to replace Hughes with Roberto Mancini. "I do not know how you can do something like that. It doesn't matter whether you have lost 20 games or two, there is a way to treat people."
Hughes has been out of work for 221 days. He is rarely spoken of at Manchester City these days and those closest to him say he has spent most of that time fighting his own boredom, desperate to get back to work and avoid becoming just another forgotten statistic.
There were feelings of betrayal and a firm belief he had been the victim of others reneging on promises, and he has always known that lingering sense of grievance would go only when he was back in work. When Martin Jol decided to stay at Ajax, Fulham were already aware that Hughes was ready and waiting.
In many ways it is the ideal job for him: Fulham, the small but proud club that have been through so many ordeals they give the impression of being completely comfortable in their own skin these days, even if it does mean living in the shadow of Chelsea, the club that thought long and hard about appointing Hughes a few years ago.
He will be taking charge at a club with a ground capacity of 25,478, where the manager has to comply with tight budgetary constraints – nothing like as exciting as Manchester City's bid for worldwide domination, perhaps, but not something that will unduly concern Hughes given the different type of job satisfaction he enjoyed at Blackburn Rovers.
There are obvious similarities – size, ambition, spirit – between Fulham and Blackburn and it is easy to imagine it was Hughes's work at Ewood Park, rather than at the City of Manchester stadium, that persuaded Mohamed Al Fayed to give him the chance to resurrect his career on the banks of the Thames.
At City, Hughes's failure to convince the Abu Dhabi United group he could give the club Champions League football can be attributed to his inability to handle some of the more wildly egocentric players that come when the transfer fees soar.
In one corner, there were influential dressing-room figures such as Craig Bellamy and Roque Santa Cruz, who respected and admired their manager. In another, there were be others colluding against him. A clique of Brazilians – Robinho, Jô and Elano – would sneer openly about his methods. Another player went as far as complaining to the chief executive, Garry Cook.
Hughes was regarded as standoffish, cold even, and even when he tried to indulge Robinho, knowing how important he was to the club's plans, he was unable to bond with the former Real Madrid player.
At Fulham he will find a much tighter group of players, bonded already by a sense of togetherness. Fulham did not always play illuminating football on their way to the Europa League final last season, but they did show the kind of collective spirit that Hughes himself demands of his teams.
There is a strong desire at Craven Cottage not to be patronised or belittled and that, too, should appeal to Hughes's competitive nature. Added to that, it is almost certain he will try to make Bellamy one of his first signings, and possibly Santa Cruz as well.
Above all, one imagines he will already have 21 November circled in red in his diary – the date Mancini brings his team to Craven Cottage.

ISLAMABAD, Nov 8 (APP): Pakistan on Tuesday summoned the
Deputy High Commissioner of India to register its protest and
strong condemnation over the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian forces on the Line of Control on November 7, that resulted into martyrdom of three civilians.
"The Director General (SA & SAARC), Dr. Mohammad Faisal, summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. J.P. Singh, today (8 November 2016) and strongly condemned the unprovoked ceasefire violations on 7 November 2016, by the Indian Forces on the LoC in Nikial and Jandrot sectors, resulting in shahadat of 3 civilians, including a woman and injuries to four others, including a 5 years old boy," a Foreign Office statement issued here said.
"The Director General urged the Indian side to respect the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding; investigate the continued incidents of ceasefire violations; instruct the Indian forces to respect the ceasefire, in letter and spirit, stop targeting the villages and civilians and maintain peace on the LoC," the statement added.

Agents were welcomed to the training Seabourn-style with a glass of champagne.
A video on the upcoming Seabourn Encore featured highlights of the new ship.
BDM Tom Steer took his turn at the podium to discuss the luxury merits of Seabourn.
(l-r) Jane Zappone & Karen Nunner of Expedia CruiseShipCenters enjoyed lunch with Vera & Ben Chan of Cruise Holidays.
(l-r) The Maritime Travel Team: Katherine Young, Christina Chysyk, Sheila McPhail, Sandy Kollenz & Sue Vogl
Seabourn hosted 55 travel agents for lunch at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia in downtown Vancouver this week. BDMs Tami Normann & Tom Steer welcomed agents with a glass of champagne, followed by a presentation and 3 course lunch prepared by the wonderful culinary team at the Rosewood.
The product presentation included the usual client demographic, value proposition and new ship details, but the focus of the afternoon was on how to sell luxury and how agents can build their own success through the power of suggestion. Tami told the group that she has cruised Seabourn "incognito" 4 times, and each time onboard she has asked fellow cruisers why they picked Seabourn. The most common answer: "My travel agent suggested it." Agents - you have more power than you think!
Ben Chan from Cruise Holidays is such an agent. As a luxury seller, he says clients trust an agent's advice and opinion, because we are the experts in the field. If you are not talking about Seabourn, someone else who does will get the booking. But the key is to take it beyond just listing what's included. Paint the picture for your clients - describe the experience of walking amongst the penguins in Antarctica, then returning the ship to enjoy caviar and champagne. Or sailing into Amalfi for the famous drive, only accessible to small yachts like Seabourn, while others have to port in Sorrento, more than 30 km away. These are all intangible experiences that I have written about - priceless moments that create lifelong memories.
I also met a group of Maritime Travel Sales Managers who came to support Seabourn. Sandy Kollenz, who oversees Maritime's retail operations in Western Canada, works very closely with Tami & Tom to grow their Seabourn business. She is very excited about Seabourn's return to Alaska next year after a 15 yr. hiatus, and will be promoting a group departure to their past guests.
Luxury cruisers are no longer just for the retired senior. An interesting name has been coined for a new breed of luxury traveler: HENRY - High Earners Not Rich Yet. These are the working wealthy - entrepreneurs, business owners & professionals age 45-64 who are looking for extraordinary and high end experiences. They are prime candidates for the ultra-luxury Seabourn yachts. Leverage your power - introduce a few Henrys to Seabourn, and watch your relationship flourish.
Ming with Tom Steer & Tami Normann of Seabourn Cruises.

I always get a bit melancholy when someone I know passes on, no matter what the circumstances. It's part of the circle of life, I know, but it serves to make the ticking of that eternal clock just a little louder. So it's been very sad to have returned tonight from a weekend away and received news that Barb Dickson died yesterday morning in Folsom, California. She was Anna's foster Mom when an exchange student back in the 70s and, although I only met her a couple of times, I'd grown fond of her. I'm glad that we spent time with her and Irv in California last summer and I'll miss her.
Travel well, Barb.

Several faculty at UCF have worked with the Institute on a wide array of projects with many environmental interests. Many of the faculty and staff within the UCF Civil and Environmental Engineering Department as well as from other UCF departments, have collaborated with ESEI. UCF maintains a healthy relationship with utilities as well as local industrial and commercial entities.
In addition, ESEI supports the ongoing research of several Masters or Doctoral students in CEE's graduate program.
ESEI Facilities and Laboratories
ESEI is located in Engineering Building II on the UCF main campus in Orlando, Florida. It also conducts research at several remote sites on and off the UCF campus. These facilities have included the City of Tampa Water Department, the on-campus Field Lab (CEEFL), and others. Currently, ESEI occupies space in five laboratories on the top floor of EN2: The Drinking Water Laboratory, the Organics Analysis Laboratory, the Chemical/Biological Process Laboratory, the Metals/Inorganics Analysis Laboratory, and the Microbiology Lab.
The Drinking Water Laboratory houses equipment that ESEI uses for membrane characterization and performance studies. Flat-sheet test units of two varieties can be found here, along with several bench-scale membrane testing units. Membrane characterization instruments are also housed here. The electrokinetic analyzer measures conductivity across a membrane surface. The goniometer measures the hydrophobicity of a membrane surface. The NPDOC analyzer is also housed here.
The Organics Analysis Laboratory contains equipment and bench space used in contaminant analysis. Four gas chromatographs used for a variety of organics determination. An Agilent 6890N is dedicated to THM and HAA analysis. Three Shimadzu GC-14s are available for volatile fatty acids, SOC species, and other analyses. Read More..
The Process Laboratory serves as a general purpose laboratory for "wet" chemical analyses (like alkalinity and hardness titrations, for example), and a wide array of benchtop instrument measurements (turbidity, conductivity, pH, UV254, true and apparent color, etc.). Softening and coagulation jar testing is also carried out here. This room is also home to one of the two TKN arrays owned by the department. Experimentation on small scale requiring strict environmental control (temperature, humidity) can take place in our environmental chamber. Samples for much of the department's water research are stored in the walk-in cooler here. Read More
The Metals/Inorganics Laboratory is currently equipped with a Unicam/TJA 969 Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer for high-level metals. A Hitachi Z9000 Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer is used here for low-level metals analysis. A Dionex DX-120 Ion Chromatograph provides anion analysis capabilities. The Institute will soon be acquiring an ICP Spectrometer which will improve sensitivity and increase throughput on all inorganic analysis. Read More…
The Microbiology Laboratory is fitted with a culture hood and equipment to measure HPCs, Coliforms and other biological parameters vital to water analysis. A Shimadzu RF-1501 Fluorimeter, a luminometer, and a Zeiss epifluorescent microscope are key to the function of this laboratory. Read More
ESEI Equipment
ESEI is heavily involved in research of water treatment design and modeling. Its studies involve bench-scale system design and analysis, field sample collection and study, as well as pilot system design and operation. Some of the equipment actively used by ESEI to conduct its research and to support CECE Department teaching efforts includes the following.
- Accumet pH meters (AR50 and others)
- Anton-Paar Electrokinetic (EKA) Analyzer
- Barnstead/Thermolyne Muffle Furnace (2)
- Barnstead MP6A distillation unit (for reagent water) (2)
- Dionex DX-120 Ion Chromatograph

- Shimadzu RF -1501 Spectrofluorimeter
- Turner Designs TD 20/20 Luminometer
- Unicam/TJA 969 Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer
- YSI Dissolved Oxygen Meters and Probes (Model 58)
The ESEI has numerous bench-scale units to evaluate water treatment processes. While bench-top units are primarily used for prescreening processes the efficient use of these units can save significant time and money by reducing operational variables evaluated during pilot testing. The bench-top units are convenient in that either source water is transported to the laboratory or the units can be move and operated on-site. A list of bench-scale units available for operation and evaluation for this project are summarized below with pictures associated with selected units.
- Two ozone units for evaluation batch and continuous flow studies of disinfection, disinfection by-product formation and color, taste and odor removal.
- Two bench-scale GAC test units designed for rapid small-scale column testing (RSSCT) for evaluating waters under the Information Collection Rule.
- Ion exchange batch testing units for evaluation of general or selective ions and natural or synthetic organic removal.
- Phipps and Bird jar test units for conduction softening and coagulation, flocculation and settling studies. The units are used to gain preliminary design information and to optimize existing plant processes.
- Two flat-sheet bench top membrane units capable of withstanding pressure to 150 psi. These units are capable of evaluating two flat-sheet films simultaneously. They are used in laboratory studies of nano- and ultra-filtration, initial screening of pretreatment processes and membrane film selection prior to pilot operations.
- Three Osmonics flat-sheet bench top membrane units capable of withstanding pressure to 1000 psi. These units are capable of evaluating two flat-sheet films simultaneously. They are used in laboratory studies of brackish and salt water desalination, initial screening of pretreatment processes and membrane film selection prior to pilot operations.
Several pilot plants are available at UCF for utilization on various projects. These pilot plants are summarized in the following List.
A 25,000 gpd three-stage high pressure reverse osmosis pilot plant equipped with stainless steel pressure vessels capable of withstanding pressures to 1200 psi. This pilot plant is equipped with automatic monitoring, control of pH, conductivity and temperature, and can be operated with or without recycle in each stage. This pilot has three different high-pressure pumps and can be operated as two two-stage pilots and one one-stage pilot for the investigation of different pretreatment or membranes simultaneously. Flow and pressure can be monitored in and out of every pressure vessel. Each pressure vessel can contain from one to three 4"X40" membrane elements.
A 10,000-gpd two-stage nanofiltration pilot plant capable of withstanding pressures to 250 psi. This pilot plant is equipped for monitoring and control of pH, conductivity and temperature and can be operated with or without recycle in each stage. Flow and pressure can be monitored in and out of every pressure vessel. Each pressure vessel can contain from one to three 4"X40" membrane elements.
A 5000-gpd two-stage nanofiltration pilot plant capable of withstanding pressures to 250 psi. This pilot plant is equipped for monitoring and control of pH, conductivity and temperature and can be operated with or without recycle in each stage. Flow and pressure can be monitored in and out of every pressure vessel. Two first stage pressure vessels can contain from one to three 4"X40" elements. The second stage can contain from one to three 2.5"X400" elements.
Three single element nanofiltration pilot plants capable of withstanding pressure to 250 psi each. These pilots are equipped for monitoring and control of pH, conductivity and temperature and can be operated with and without recycle.
Two ion exchange units capable of treating more than 5 gpm are used for evaluation of general or selective ions and natural or synthetic organic removal.
A four foot diameter GAC/rapid sand filter. Multiple four inch diameter test columns for settling or filtration studies.
Chemical feed pumps, tanks and other field equipment for support of membrane pilot studies in the field.
Research Interests
Softening and Flocculation/Coagulation Jar TestingESEI is also capable of investigating pre-treatment of source waters prior to membrane treatment. Softening serves to reduce hardness in source waters, while coagulation removes NPDOC (including DBP precurors) from the water. ESEI can conduct specific jar tests to determine an optimum pre-treatment plan for water to be membrane treated, or as a stand-alone treatment.
Figure 1. Softening and Flocculation/Coagulation Jar Test Unit
General Water Quality Needs
The ESEI laboratories are outfitted with state-of-the-art analytical equipment capable of facilitating many standard water quality tests as well as carrying out cutting-edge environmental and chemical analyses. ESEI personnel have extensive experience with standard EPA and ASTM techniques.
The quality control-quality assurance plan for ESEI can be found here
Specific Analytical Applications
Applications of techniques that ESEI uses on a regular basis include:
Disinfection By Products and their Formation Potential. ESEI is capable of conducting formation potential analysis that can assist with prediction of disinfection byproducts (trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids) that form as a result of chlorination. Field water quality analysis, initial chlorine dissipation studies, and saturation pH determination all assist with determination of ideal chlorine dosing for a given source water. These chlorine doses can then be administered to samples of the source water, which can then be incubated at selected temperatures for fixed periods of time. After incubation, samples are then measured for DBP content on an Agilent 6890 Gas Chromatograph.
Figure 1. Agilent Technologies HP6890N Network Gas Chromatograph with 7683 autosampler and ECD detector
Dissolved Organic Carbon analysis. DOC provides insight on many topics, ranging from the presence of DBP precursors to the effectiveness of treatment processes, including coagulation and membrane filtration.

Spectroscopic Techniques
- UV/Visible Spectroscopy
- Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (Flame, Electrothermal)
Figure 3. Hitachi Z9000 Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer for analysis of low-level metals
A study such as this usually involves acquiring samples of the membrane of interest from the manufacturer, and then conducting laboratory scale filtration tests with them. ESEI is capable of testing membranes of interest on various small scales, in order to "approximate" the performance of a full-scale element in a full-sized water treatment plant. Flat-sheet testing is done with a small portion of membrane material that is cut from a large element and mounted into a testing apparatus capable of holding it in place while challenging it with water at selected hydraulic conditions (pressure, flow, etc.). Single element testing is done using a pilot membrane plant and an individual (but complete) membrane provided by the manufacturer. In either case, samples of permeate, concentrate, and feed water are collected and analyzed for water quality.
Figure 1. Flat Sheet Test Unit
Figure 2. Single Element Test Unit
Then, the surface of the membrane sample itself is studied to determine its morphology (surface charge, etc.) before, during, and after fouling. This morphology can be assessed in one way by conducting a surface analysis using an electrokinetic analyzer (EKA). This apparatus determines the charge density or distribution over a membrane surface at the interface between that surface and the liquid it is in contact with. This measurement provides information on the characteristics of that surface, such as the chemical and/or physical structure and composition of the surface and of the liquid itself. This information then provides insights on what chemical processes are going on at the interface, such as adsorption of a film onto the surface, ionic interactions, and others. These processes are used to deduce mechanisms of the filtration process, such as membrane fouling.

How to Reduce Sugar in Cheesecake
A typical slice of commercially prepared cheesecake can contain as much as 20 grams of carbohydrates, 17 of which are sugar, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Nutrient Database. Cheesecake made from packaged mixes may contain even more. For diabetics, or anyone concerned about lowering their intake of sugar, this can make cheesecake a forbidden luxury. You can, however, prepare homemade cheesecake that is either low in sugar or sugar free.
Use the sugar substitute xylitol instead of sugar when preparing the cheesecake's crust. Plan on approximately 2 tablespoons of xylitol for every cup of flour used.
Substitute xylitol sweetener for sugar in the cheesecake filling. Use 1 cup of xylitol for every four 8-ounce packages of cream cheese called for in a 9-inch cheesecake.
Use stevia or an artificially produced sugar substitute such as Splenda if you prefer not to use xylitol. Prepare a low-fat, reduced sugar cheesecake by combining the sugar substitute with fat-free yogurt, fat-free cream cheese and a sugar-free, cheesecake flavored pudding mix. Plan on 1/2 cup of sugar substitute for every 8 ounces of cream cheese.
Things Needed
- Xylitol
- Flour
- Cream cheese, full-fat, light or fat-free
- Sugar substitute such as stevia or Splenda, optional
- Fat-free yogurt, optional
- Cheesecake flavored pudding mix, sugar-free, optional
- Be aware that even if a cheesecake is low in sugar, it may still contain full-fat cream cheese and eggs, both of which are high in cholesterol and saturated fat. Eat cheesecake in moderation and talk to your doctor about other ways to keep your sugar, fat and cholesterol intake within healthy boundaries.
- You may have to experiment to find a recipe that yields a reduced-sugar cheesecake with just the right amount of sweetness you desire. Start with the recommended ratio of sugar substitute to cream cheese and then slightly increase the amount the next time if you're not satisfied with the results.

Intellectual property we actually mean which is intangible and comes from creativity, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. All kinds of intangible creativity fall under the intellectual property term. For example, a writer wrote a book on his or her life or wrote a novel, that writing will be considered as an intellectual property. A scientist discovered a machine that invention will be taken as account of intellectual property again a music composition of an artist will also follow the term intellectual property. Anything creative which also is intangible is known as intellectual property[1]. Again according to World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), intellectual property refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce. Intellectual property is divided into two categories: Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs[2].
Everybody has his or her own right to protect his or her intellectual property weather it is music composition, any discovery or invention, any literature or writing. This protection is backed by law. One can protect his own creativity from others to copy it; he or she can apply intellectual property right at any time. Intellectual property right restricts one from copying others idea or creation in an illegal way. If the work or creation is protected under the Intellectual Property Right Law, no one can copy it in any way. If it is copied, then legal actions will also be implemented according to the deeds[3]. This (IPR) or Intellectual Property Right is strictly followed in many developed and also in developing countries. But in Bangladesh, the situation is not the same like other countries. Here, no one in this country is aware of IPR. People here busy trying commercialize others creativity by violating Intellectual Property Right Laws. If anyone comes up with an idea which creative, others also copy it and at the end it does never takes the floor or it gets ruined. Our government of our country is also very weak in implementing such laws in our country which will bring good rather anything worse. Government is also very absent minded about this situation. Our argument is that it does acknowledge in principle the case for strict IPR protection, but this can be done only in phases suited by its own ground reality. The reality is that absence of international IPR protection for some decades has spawned employment for millions, so an overnight clampdown on IPR violators would cause social unrest.
But if we look to our neighbor country India, the people and government is aware and trying to be strict about the Intellectual Property Right (IPR) as it follows the WTO (World Trade Organization) standard. However their past decades were also under the line. The people grew awareness among themselves about IPR and classification of copyright infringements as "cognizable offenses" expanded police search and seizure authority. While the formation of appellate boards under the new legislation speeded prosecution, local attorneys indicate that some technical flaws in the laws, which require administrative approval prior to police action which needs correction.[4]
India is also a country of South East Asia where we are also located. But the rate of IPR flaws of our country is very high than India. This is because lack of awareness among people about the international situation and also absent mind of our government. But it is mandatory to ensure Intellectual Property Right in Bangladesh as it is a developing nation which will also follow WTO standard in future[5] and the bottom line is our country should consider itself as a responsible member who strictly follows Intellectual Property Right (IPR).
In order to start my research, I would like to state a note by James F. Moriarty U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh, "Why should Bangladesh care about protecting intellectual property rights? Intellectual property rights (IPR) are the legal mechanisms – copyrights, patents and trademarks – that ensure that the products we buy are genuine. Dangerous and defective counterfeit products, from counterfeit medication, to toothpaste, to auto parts, put the lives of consumers at risk. A strong IPR system ensures that inventors and innovators are rewarded for their ideas. IPR protections foster an environment in which creative and innovative industries can thrive and contribute to economic development worldwide. At the dawn of the 21st century, an increasing share of global economic output is generated by services, many of which depend on new and evolving technologies. Inventors, creators, and other risk-takers play a critical role in this economic progress, and the protection of IPR is necessary to ensure that the advances that result from their efforts are rewarded and valued. Progress in nanotechnology, information technology, and clean energy fosters economic development and improves standards of living worldwide.
Intellectual property rights don't just protect inventors or large corporations; they protect local entrepreneurs and artists. A clear example of innovation in Bangladesh is the pioneering work of Mustafa Jabbar, inventor of the Bijoy Bangla keyboard and related software. The recent court decision recognizing Mr. Jabbar's ownership of the technology he developed is an important step in encouraging innovation. Bangladesh's film-makers such as Catherine and Tareque Masud have won critical international acclaim for their films but frequently suffer the theft of their work in their home country.
The illegal sale of stolen music and films in nearly all of Bangladesh's markets is a troubling indicator of the scale of the IPR protection challenge. Developing countries too often assume that IPR only benefits first world nations. This perspective unfairly discounts indigenous capacity for innovation – as if good ideas worth protecting and promoting can only come from the first world. Officials in less developed countries cite the World Trade Organization's TRIPS agreement as granting their countries exemption from international IPR standards until 2013 (and 2016 for pharmaceutical patents.) Relying upon these temporary "exemptions" is a choice fraught with risks. An economy built on weak IPR foundations is one in which the abuse of foreign and domestic IPR occurs hand-in-hand. Any country seeking free-trade agreements cannot ignore today's work to ensure meeting future obligations to protect IPR. The human potential to create and innovate is a boundless worldwide resource. Clear rules and strong enforcement of IPR allows countries to sustain economic development and to build recognizable and respected brands worldwide. Bangladesh's innovators, inventors and artists have proven themselves worthy of the highest awards and recognition world wide – it's time that Bangladesh's domestic IPR mechanisms now grant them the same honor."[6]
The situation of Intellectual Property Right in Bangladesh is very shallow that it can be seen clearly in a naked eye. It is because mainly of lack of awareness among the people and negligence of our government. A simple example is very precise to take out the scenario is copy of music by violating the Intellectual Property Right Law. From giant corporations to fusion artists, they copy and commercialize others composition. For example new age fusion artists make copy and remix the original songs into another version which is a clear example of violating IPR laws.
Again on the other hand, telecom industries like Grameenphone, Banglalink and others also copy music and sells as caller tunes. This is also commercialization of original music by violating IPR laws. Again pirated versions of software and music CDs are also glowing example. This piracy chain works so smoothly that each and every person is depended upon these versions or music and software that we never want to buy the original one. In order to maintain a sound environment Intellectual Property Right should be formulated by the government strictly in our country. Otherwise we will not be able to maintain the WTO standard in future as a developing nation.[7] The strict laws against IPR should be implemented thoroughly. If our neighbor country India can try handling it, why we cannot make it possible.
Currently our government is trying to maintain a standard for protecting IPR by enforcing mechanisms which are well organized along with the agencies. According to his writings, "The development of the IP system depends on the effective enforceability of IP rights. Bangladesh present IP enforcement mechanisms are well organized and the agencies are now well coordinated and their effective measures can limit the number of violations."[8]
Infringement is a common problem in the developing countries like Bangladesh but the law enforcing agencies are showing significant developments in enforcing and protecting the Intellectual Property (IP) Rights in Bangladesh. Acquiring and or securing IP rights is of little economic value if these rights cannot be enforced effectively. The development of the IP system depends on the effective enforceability of IP rights. Bangladesh present IP enforcement mechanisms are well organized and the agencies are now well coordinated and their effective measures can limit the number of violations. The Government has enacted the new law, The Trademarks Act, 2009 giving the scope to protect the services under International Classes 34-45. The said Act has a clause (109) authorizing the customs officials to call for records and disclose the source of importing items prohibited under the Customs Act, 1969, Section 15(d)(e) & (f).
To enforce the IP Rights or to limit the violations of IP Rights in Bangladesh the different agencies of the Bangladesh Government are empowered to take effective action under different provisions of the law. The present functional agencies are – Mobile Courts, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and the local Police. The agencies are working under different teams in different areas. The IP Right holders can take necessary assistance and co-operation from the aforesaid agencies.
It is possible to minimize the risk of violations by routine monitor and investigation of the markets in different fields and in different parts of the country. The necessary legal action depends on the nature of violation. However, remedies are available under the following provisions:-[9]
The Trademarks Act, 2009
Chapter X: Offenses, Penalties and Procedure
Sections 73 – 91 of the Trademarks Act, 2009 are the relevant provisions for criminal proceeding for trademarks right violation in Bangladesh. If anybody commits offense as described in items (a) to (g) in Section 73 shall be liable for the first offense to pay penalty of Tk. 200,000 with sentence of two years and Tk. 300,000 and three years sentence for the second offense. The other sections are also open depending on the nature of violations.[10]
The Customs Act [IV of 1969], Chapter IV
Prohibition and Restriction of Importation and Exportation
Section-15. Prohibitions. No goods specified in the following clauses shall be brought, whether by air or land or sea, in to Bangladesh:-
(d) Goods having applied thereto a counterfeit trademark within the meaning of Bangladesh Penal Code or a false trade description within the meaning of the Merchandise Marks Act.
Section 17 – Detention and confiscation of goods imported in breach of Section 15 or Section 16. Where any goods are imported into or attempted to be exported out of Bangladesh in violation of the provisions of Section 15 …. Such goods shall, without prejudice to any other penalty to which the offender may be liable under this Act, or any other law, but subject to rules, be liable to seizure and confiscation.
Recent Action: Munmuns Leather Pvt. Ltd. is the dealer for Bangladesh for American 'Samsonite' brand. They are informed thoroughly reliable source that a trader has opened Letter of Credit to import items including counterfeit 'Samsonite' suitcases. They lodged a formal General Diary with the local Police Station on October 7, 2010 informing the importation, and the details of importer and also made a representation to the Authorities, The Joint Commissioner of Customs in Dhaka and Chittagong. They immediately contacted with the Authority for necessary action for not delivering the goods. The Authority being satisfied locked the assignment in Dhaka on October 10 and in Chittagong on October 11, 2010. The same procedure is applicable for all unlawful importation with counterfeit trademark[11].
Bangladesh Penal Code 1860

Kraft Foods Globe Brands LLC. vs Ibnsina Food Products Pvt. Ltd. The brand, 'Tang' is a popular name in concentrated form for preparing soft drinks product. Kraft has secured the IP rights in Bangladesh in the year 1987 and has business since long through its agent, Sajeeb Corporation. A Bangladeshi small entity, Ibnsina Food marketed preparations for soft drink under brand, Ibnsina Orange Tang. On an application with the local police station the enforcing agencies seized the items and put the people under trial. The District Court has also issued an and-interim order restraining the Ibnsina for not trading with the mark 'Tang'[13]. Ibnsina tried to obtain registration for the mark with suffix Tang but the Trademark Department has rejected all their applications.[14]
For better understanding building and creating awareness is mandatory among us. By awareness we understand to know something, knowing that something exists and is important to create interest in something. Arranging workshop and seminars can educate our people in order to understand the value of protecting intellectual property. Training means process of acquiring knowledge and skill to perform certain job. Primarily the persons responsible for the enforcement of the provisions of copy right Act should undergo training. In course of time creators, authors, producers, Transferees assignees, success in interest may take part in the training. Copy Right office under copyright Act, 2000 has been established in Bangladesh and the office is headed by the Copyright Registrar[15]. The people of Bangladesh should be made aware of the importance of protecting copy right and they should be conversant with the basic knowledge about operation of the copy right.
In order to boost up creative effort suitable legal frame work needs to be established. The civil and criminal laws are in place to protect the rights of the creators, inventors and authors under the provisions of Copy right Act and other laws. Copy right Registrar has been working under the provisions of Copyright Act 2000 with its amendments. In order to make the provisions of the Copyright Act effective/functional the office of the Registrar need to be strengthened and number of the officials with up-to-date knowledge about the subject may be increased. The bangla version of the Copyright Act is not easily understandable and as such the provisions of the law may be made clear. The training courses may be organized for the officials of the Copyright Office and those of other related organizations. With this end in view the Intellectual Property Training Institute may be set up in Bangladesh. The Institute will impart training and education and conduct research. Bangladesh Public Administration training Centre, Savar, Dhaka conducts foundation training for the young officers of all cadres. The Centre also organizes training for mid level officers and Seminar officers. The topic on Intellectual property rights may mandatory be included in the modules of these training courses. Seminar, Workshop and discussion meeting should be organized in the University particularly departments of law should take initiative in this respect. Media, both print and electronic can play a pivotal role in creating public awareness and public opinion about the Intellectual property Rights. Topic on Intellectual property rights may find place in the Syllabus of the business related courses in education Institution of the tertiary level.
It is a matter of hope that the government of Bangladesh is now working to protect intellectual property rights. Otherwise our country will not be able to stand to the WTO standard in future as a developing one. Recently Director General of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Francis Gurry meets Health Minister AFM Ruhal Haque so that they can help for intellectual property.[16]
It is a great opportunity for our country to develop intellectual property rights protection. World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) came forward to help us. Our government has taken the opportunity from the WIPO. Now they are working together and Bangladesh arranges workshop and seminars from around the country.

text: I'm a sucker for the sweet things in life. If someone were to wave a chocolate cupcake in my face and then perhaps, threaten to take it away, I would chase them down like a dog and beat the crap out of them until they forked it over. The sugar monster makes me do precarious things. In my quest to be a better person (not threatening to kill people over sugar) and be a healthier runner, I am trying like hell to omit sugar from my diet. I have had some slips. No doubt. Sometimes, I just can't contain myself. But it's time to stop dicking around and be a more productive person: both in running and in life. I'll be honest, the second anything with sugar or dairy slips down my throat, I immediately regret it. Both make me feel insanely sick. This is a new aberration, as prior to running such high mileage, my stomach was like a fortress. It forgave anything I put in there (my ass didn't though, that's for sure). My weakness was once a chocolate dipped waffle cone with like 7 scoops of ice cream. Yuck. Anyways, discovering better ways to eat always makes me happy. And, when I discover something that is raw, vegan & gluten free, but doesn't taste like poop, I am in pure heaven. These aren't cheap, I will admit that. But as I have said a million times, eating healthy is an investment. I do promise, however, that once you take that first bite, you won't care. You just, won't care. It's magical to me that coconut oil, almond meal, maple syrup and other such healthy ingredients can product desserts that taste this decadent. Oh my goodness. Swoon. Cherish. Yum.

Does the CLOUD really reduce Expenses?
There's a lot of talk about how the Cloud platform increases productivity but could it also reduces your firms total expenses too? A recent Rackspace survey of those already using cloud computing showed that:
- 60% of businesses are saving at least 10%.
- Nearly 20% are saving 20% or more.
What could you do with the extra savings?
How CLOUD computing can cut costs for your Business
Eliminate Upfront Investment: With Office Network Online's Cloud Platform, you save the upfront cost of purchasing servers, as well as costly upgrades and installation. You also eliminate the need for space to store your network. Additionally, you have the option of a BYOD (bring your own device) environment further saving you the costs of hardware.
Eliminate the cost of Software: General software is all included and more cost effective. Office Network Online's Cloud Platform includes Microsoft Office, anti-virus, backup, and all the essentials your business needs. If you have Custom software, we move it to your Cloud platform.
Eliminate Unexpected Maintenance Expense: Before the Cloud, the cost of maintenance and upgrades lied solely on the business owner. With Office Network Online's Cloud Platform, all maintenance and upgrades are included in your monthly Cloud subscription, making your IT budget consistent and reliable.
Eliminate Infrastructure Management Costs: By outsourcing to the cloud, you eliminate the cost to hire someone to create and update your infrastructure. It's all included in the Cloud Platform.
Predictable IT and Support Budget: Rather than unpredictable expenses that may change month to month, you have predictable monthly IT costs. Your systems are monitored 24 hours a day and all support is included. You are able to use technology as an equalizer to compete with much larger firms.
Wasted Payroll Dollars: Some companies estimate their greatest cost savings is in the area of wasted payroll dollars from computer down time or performance issues. These saving vary depending on the size of your company. On average, you will gain an additional hour per employee per week through increased productivity or reduced downtime. A small company of 10 employees averaging $25/hr could save $1,000 per month.
Your technology should exist to serve you, not the other way around. Let Office Network Online move your business to our secured private Cloud Platform so you can focus on your business, not IT. Contact us today.

Greece to launch tax probe into former finance minister
Issued on: Modified:
The Greek parliament agreed Friday to investigate former socialist finance minister George Papaconstantinou for allegedly interfering with a tax evasion probe. Papaconstantinou is suspected of tampering with a confidential document.
The Greek parliament on Friday agreed to investigate former socialist finance minister George Papaconstantinou for allegedly tampering with a confidential tax document to hinder a probe into tax evasion.
After a lengthy and heated debate that started early on Thursday, a majority of lawmakers voted in favour of setting up a committee to look into the minister's suspected cover-up.
Not enough votes were gathered to approve further probes into another former minister and two ex-prime ministers regarding the same scandal, which involves a list of names of Greek citizens with accounts at HSBC bank in Switzerland suspected of tax evasion.
"It is obvious that some people want me to be the scapegoat," said Papaconstantinou, who is accused of deleting the names of three of his relatives from the list, when he addressed the parliament on Thursday.
"I did not alter anything. I had no reason to do so. My relatives have provided evidence that the sums concerned are legal and have already been taxed," he said.
"I did not make a fortune through politics, I do not have any accounts in Swiss banks nor do I have offshore companies. I only have loans," he added.
Greece's coalition government, led by the conservative New Democracy party and including the socialist Pasok and moderate left-wing Democratic Left, has been in favour of investigating Papaconstantinou for alleged breach of duty and falsification of an official document.
Radical leftist Syriza, the main opposition party, had also called for an investigation of Pasok leader Evangelos Venizelos, Papaconstantinou's successor in the finance ministry.
Two smaller opposition parties further wanted a probe into former prime ministers George Papandreou and Lucas Papademos.
Papaconstantinou, who has retired from politics, helped engineer the heavily indebted country's first austerity programme and international bailout plan in 2010.
Greek financial prosecutors are currently looking into some 2,000 names on the list which was originally leaked by an HSBC employee.
Local media have branded the scandal the "Lagarde list" affair, as current International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde initially sent the list to Papaconstantinou in 2010 when she was France's finance minister.

9 Gift Ideas For The Earthy Mom
Posted on April 20 2017
What does an "earthy mom" mean to you? I think of a person that is aware of her environment and most importantly practices self-love. If you are looking for items that suits your earthy suaveness, I have you covered.
Milkful - Lactation Oat Bars
If you are a breastfeeding mom, you probably experienced low milk supply at some point or another. Milkful lactation oats bars may be your answer to boosting your milk supply. The first thing that came to my attention is that the bars do not contain preservatives or any artificial ingredients for that matter. Their lactation oats bars are loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats and lets not forget the vitamins and minerals. All the goodness.
Little Teether - Pineapple Teething Toy
We have to be aware of the kind of toys we introduce to our babies especially when they are teething. Because lets face it, those little squishy hands love to grab everything and anything and put it in their mouths. The Little Teether, have the perfect teething toys. They offer non-toxic silicone chewable toys which are food grade, BPA-free, free of phthalates, lead, cadmium, and heavy metals - can I say "score"!. You can even freeze or refrigerate the toy when your little ones are having a hard time with teething.
Jasemet - Multi - Purpose Nursing Cover
This is one of those items that literally grows with you and your family. You can use it as a scarf while you are expecting and once the baby is born it easily converts into a carseat cover. The cover can be used as a nursing cover, shopping cart cover, and highchair cover. It's a "do it all" kind of cover! Even after the baby gets older, you will still be able to use it as a scarf and it will hold all the memories that you experience with your baby.
Vienna Springs - Ring Sling
Babies have a desire to always be close to their mama and Vienna Springs ring slings makes that so much easier. Lets face it, we can accomplish many tasks by wearing the babies. These slings are made out of Duping silk and they are heavy metal and toxin free. Wear all the babies! hehe..
LatchPal - Breastfeeding Clip
There are so many items that can help your breastfeeding journey be a bit easier and the LatchPal breastfeeding clip is definitely one of them! The clip that holds up your shirt so you can be hands-free, nurse comfortably and have a clear view of your baby and breast. The clip can be used while pumping and you can still use it after your breastfeeding journey has come to an end. The clip can be clipped on to a handbag and you can attach your keys or toys.
Joyaltee - Upcycled and Repurposed Clothes
Lets talk about being one-of-a-kind and suuuuper eco-friendly. Joyaltee is just that! All of their items are from repurposed and upcycled t-shirts. If you are really into the earthy vibes than grabbing one (or a few!) of these one of a kind eco-friendly pieces of clothes is the way to go.
For Love and Pennies - Intention Candle
If you are looking for the perfect earthy candle, For Love and Pennies's intention candles are your go to. Each candle contains hand poured soy wax, a crystal and its scented with essential oils. You can choose from ABUNDANCE, CLARITY, LOVE, RELIEF and SUCCESS.
Sweet Whimsy Designs - Hand-Painted Playable Art
Sweet Whimsy Designs wooden playable toys are awesome for the littles. This peg family in particular have the faces blank (waldorf-style play) so the little ones can let their imagination run free without any preconceived ideas. Its perfect for pretend play. The wooden toys are finished with AP certified non-toxic acrylic paint and sealant.
What's even better than a beautiful necklace? A necklace with a purpose! Each necklace is designed with healing stones. "Mala beads are meditation necklaces that are used to recite an affirmation or mantra, and are a tangible reminder of your intentions." - Mama Malas. Lets face it, motherhood can sometimes become overwhelming. These malas beads necklaces are a great to ground ourselves and give us a gentle reminder to take care of ourselves and be present.
There you have it! A simple list of gift ideas for you or someone you love. So what does an "earthy mom" mean to me? It means that she chooses to clean, heal and beautify by using natural sources. She chooses items that are good for her family, home and the environment. She isn't afaird to reuse and repurpose items. Mostly importantly she practices self-love so she can live an intentional and balanced life.

Marissa Mayer's war chest to growMarch 17, 2014: 1:23 PM ET
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer may have a spring in her step this morning. Yahoo's stock is higher following the news that Alibaba, the Chinese leader in e-commerce, was preparing to file for an initial public offering in the United States.
Yahoo owns a 24% stake in Alibaba. The stock has been volatile for the past few days due to speculation about a possible IPO filing from Alibaba.
Alibaba has been compared to the "Amazon", "eBay" and "PayPal" of China. Analysts estimate Alibaba could be worth about $130 billion, and the company could raise more than $16 billion in the IPO. That could make Yahoo's investment potentially worth more than $30 billion.
Related: Alibaba snub puts Hong Kong exchange on the defensive
So Mayer must be feeling pretty good. Even her critics, who say that the only reason Yahoo's (YHOO) shares have performed so well since she became CEO is because it owns a large chunk of Alibaba, may back off now that Yahoo may be closer to cashing in on its investment.
However, some analysts still aren't convinced that the Alibaba news is that good for Yahoo. Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Partners, said that Yahoo may sell a little less than half its Alibaba stake after the IPO. He thinks that money could be used for acquisitions. But some shareholders though are hoping the cash could be set aside for a stock buyback or special one-time dividend payment.
It's also not clear just how well Alibaba will do once it starts trading. While it has been likened to a rocket, its revenue growth has slowed sequentially from 61% in the second quarter of 2013 to 51% in the third quarter.
And regardless of how much Alibaba is worth and how much cash it brings to Yahoo, Mayer still has to prove to investors that she can turn around the company's core business. In the fourth quarter, Yahoo's revenues were down 6% as it continues to struggle in the online advertising world.
So Mayer has to show Wall Street that she can use some of the Alibaba windfall to make the company more competitive against the likes of Google (GOOG) and Facebook (FB).

A Collision Avoidance System that Reduces Accidents in the Workplace from Q-Track
- Increases warning time
- Installs easily
- Requires no maintenance
- Eliminates the need for workers to wear tags
- Non-line of sight sensors immune to visual blocking from loads
- Unlike PIR sensors, works at high temperatures and has no coverage gaps.
- Works in blind spots and around corners
- Strong return on investment
Improving Forklift Safety in Warehouses
The new wireless collision avoidance system, SafeSpotTM, reduces accidents in the workplace. Forklift accidents cost an estimated $3.7 billion per year in the U.S. and are the cause of 20,000 serious injuries including 100 deaths. SafeSpotTM is a simple, inexpensive solution that increases safety while ensuring OSHA compliance.
The manufacturing, industrial, and warehousing industries rely on forklifts to improve productivity and reduce the need for excessive manual handling of goods and objects by employees. However, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, there are approximately 100 fatalities and 20,000 serious injuries each year in the United States as a result of forklift accidents. Almost 80% of these accidents involve a pedestrian. These accidents cause substantial property damage, disrupt business operations, and result in worker compensation claims, costing companies millions of dollars in losses. Specifically, average cost to a company for a forklift accident is $184,000 in medical expenses, lost productivity, legal liability fees, and OSHA compliance costs.
To mitigate these risks, many companies have installed collision detection systems intended to compensate for driver errors and reduce costs associated with accidents. Shortfalls of these systems include expense, complexity of operation, susceptibility to industrial environment, and worker non-compliance. Here's a video showing the simple efficiency of SafeSpot in action:
