Among the scores of Oscar shindigs that crop up like clockwork at this most hallowed time of the year in Hollywood, few generate the kind of goodwill that distinguishes the annual Academy Awards viewing party hosted by Sir Elton John to benefit his namesake AIDS Foundation. Last year, the musician and his partner, David Furnish, welcomed a galaxy of luminaries from the worlds of film, television, and music to toast the gala's 20th anniversary. The event raised $5.25 million in support of the foundation's global efforts to fight the stigma attached to the disease and provide direct treatment and support services for those living with HIV/AIDS.
This year's fête, which will take place on Oscar Sunday at West Hollywood Park, promises even more glitz and good works as a rainbow coalition of Tinseltown power players gathers to survey the awards frenzy a safe distance from Ground Zero (i.e., the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center). Guests get to sample the toothsome delights of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and enjoy the soulful tunes of Scottish songstress Emeli Sandé. It's the hottest ticket in town.
Sir Elton launched his foundation in 1992 and in the ensuing years it has grown into one of the world's largest and most progressive AIDS grant-making organizations, more than $275 million to date for grassroots and community-based programs as well as cooperative international efforts. The organization has earned kudos in philanthropic circles for tackling politically sensitive issues head-on—needle exchange, support for convicts and ex-convicts dealing with HIV/AIDS, and demands for equal access to health care for African Americans and people living in poverty.
"We're addressing the problem wherever it exists, raising awareness as a voice for marginalized populations," says Scott Campbell, the executive director of EJAF. "The Oscar party is our largest fundraising event of the year. The glamour and festivities are great, but we always remember that we have important work to do."

"Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us." Steven Pressfield
"Give us what you got!" Steven Pressfield
Ok, I have nothing for you today. And if I'm going to take Pressfield's words seriously, I think I know why. Yes, life has been MORE than hectic lately. I was sitting, sipping a glass of Merlot last night with Vicky and I was double tracking…listening to her and participating in our conversation but something more was happening. I was taking an inventory of how I've been disconnected from so many people and things that give me life of late. I haven't had some life giving conversations with key people in my family…my daughter, son and dad. I haven't checked in with some people I love because I never walk away from some time with them without feeling challenged and encouraged. I looked at my bookshelf and missed reading some books that are actually enjoyable and disconnected from anything that has to do with work. I've been lax at playing guitar lately…just keeping up with weekly demands. So, there is that "unlived" life…the one I was hoping to live but didn't have have time to live it.
There was a pivotal moment last week where I received a phone call telling me that a dear friend had died of a heart attack. I had meant to drop by and see her last week…in fact, it was the day before she passed away that I had the inclination. But life was on a "dead run"…I missed the opportunity to live life because I was doing, doing, doing and doing some more. I've been taking more and more words to heart of how to live the unlived life and you know the only conclusion I've come to – you (I) have to SLOW DOWN. And truthfully, I don't know how to do it. I'm a "white knuckle" guy who feels alive when the pressure is on. But let me tell you something…I used to appear to be at my best when the pace was high and demands were surfacing my gifts humming at productive RPMs. But now…all the intensity is doing is robbing me of life moments and making me resentful. So, I'm doing what Pressfield also said above, giving you (and me) what I got. I really don't have much to say…you would think I would have realized that before I have written down over 400 words as of this moment. But I really don't…I have my stack on my desk staring me in the face…I have my "to do" list looking ominously at me as it sits idlely by my printer and I have a TON of equipment on a table across the room that is shouting "install me." I have classes to grade, courses to prepare, messages to write and people to see. All the stuff is robbing me of life…OR is life in the midst of all this "stuff?" You know, I'm going to try to pray this through today. I'm going to do my best to figure it out as I go and maybe, just maybe, I'll get to the end of the day and say that life was "lived."
So, how's that for having nothing to say…

Porcelain Crowns (Caps)
A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
Reasons for crowns:
What does getting a crown involve?
A crown procedure usually requires two appointments. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown. Once these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be placed with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly.
At your second appointment your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.
You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.

El Centro
I've had bad teeth since I was a child. Though I've never had anyone say to me that I could have a better smile. El Centro Dental made my smile so much better with dental implants and crowns. I'm so much happier.
Wendy J
Coordinator, Imperial
Family Resource Center
I feel younger and happier since I did my dental at El Centro Dental. I used to try not to smile because of my old fillings. Now, the fillings have all been replaced with porcelain and my teeth have porcelain veneers. They feel strong and I can eat anything. (By the way, this has improved my general health). And, the staff at El Centro Dental treated me with respect and dignity."
Elsa D
Retired Registered Nurse
"My teeth have been good all my life, but I suddenly got a dental disease and several teeth had to be pulled. Dr. Siman and I talked about the pros and cons of dental implants versus a bridge. I decided to go with implants. I didn't want to take the bridge in and out. The entire staff at El Centro Dental has been very friendly and nice."

Understanding the fundamental technologies of power density
The need for improved power density is clear, but what limits designers from increasing power density today? Watch this five-part training series where we outline how to achieve higher power density by examining four critical aspects of high-power-density solutions, as well as relevant TI technologies and products supporting these specific requirements.
Topics in this training series:
PSpice for TI: Advanced Analysis
PSpice for TI: Introduction
Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit Basics
From laptop adapters to power tools, any end equipment powered from the AC grid represents a complex load where the input current is not always in phase with the instantaneous line voltage. As such, the end equipment consumes both real power as well as reactive power from the grid. The ratio between real, usable power (measured in watts) and the total real-plus-reactive power is known as the power factor.
Practical EMI Considerations for Low-Power AC/DC Supplies
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an essential part of every power-supply design, but too often gets relegated to the end of the design flow, at which point its resolution can be time-consuming, costly and inefficient. This seven part video series will help dispel fears about EMI, and show how to find and fix the issues.
Common Mistakes in Flyback Power Supplies and How to Fix Them
When you run into a problem in your power-supply design, the odds are that someone else has already solved the same problem on another design. Wouldn't it be great if you could learn from their mistakes? This five part video series focuses on some of the most common mistakes in the design and troubleshooting of low-power AC/DC power supplies, specifically focusing on the flyback topology.
Designing a High-Power Bidirectional AC/DC Power Supply Using SiC FETs
High-power bidirectional AC/DC power supplies are widely used as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), energy storage systems (ESS) and onboard chargers (OBC) with with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability. Compared to the traditional approach ¡V using one unidirectional rectifier and one unidirectional inverter to achieve a bidirectional energy flow ¡V a bidirectional rectifier can provide advantages such as smaller size, higher power density and higher efficiency. This paper reviews topologies, design considerations and design challenges of high power bidirectional AC/DC power supplies.
Rapid prototyping conclusions
Rapid prototyping: Getting started with TI solutions
How many times have you said, "I would like to prototype an idea with TI silicon but I can not get software resources" or "I don't know how to prototype/program."
This training shows you how to get started prototyping on TI solutions with minimal or no programming, including the following tasks:
Capacitor selection
This sections covers tips for selecting the appropriate capacitors for your switching power supply.
Inductor selection
This sections covers tips for selecting the appropriate inductors for your switching power supply.
Survey of Resonant Converter Topologies
In recent years, resonant converters have become more popular and are widely applied in various applications like servers, communications and consumer electronics. The resonant converter can easily achieve high efficiency and allow high frequency operation with its intrinsic wide softswitching ranges. However, resonant converters rely on frequency modulation (FM) to achieve voltage or current regulation instead of traditional pulse width modulation (PWM).
Control and Design Challenges for Synchronous Rectifiers
With the development of telecommunication and mobile technologies, smart phones, tablets and notebook computers became essential parts of everyday life. Because of this, we require more powerful processors, which requires increased batter size and higher levels of AC/DC chargers, while the size is expected to remain the same or grow smaller.
Comparison of GaN and Silicon FET-Based Active Clamp Flyback Converters
This course demonstrates how an active clamp flyback converter achieves zero voltage switching (ZVS) and recycles the leakage energy of the transformer to improve efficiency in higher frequency operation. Although it is well known that switch node capacitance determines the circulating energy for ZVS, the capacitance-nonlinearity impact from each of the two primary-side switches and from the secondary synchronous rectifier has not been well understood.
Design considerations for USB type-C power delivery
The presentation addresses the design consideration of USB Type-C power delivery. USB Type-C is the new trend of Industrial, automotive and personal electronics devices. In the training, audience will be able to learn more about USB Type-C power delivery (PD) requirement and understand architecture of USB Type-C PD, AC/DC power source.
Introduce high power DC/DC conversion design: comparison of PSFB and FB-LLC
Control of SMPS, A Refresher
Control theory is often thought to be difficult to understand and theoretical approaches usually have lots of Mathematics and talk about Loop Gain, complex frequency, H(s), G(s) and so on.
2018 South Asia Industrial Webinar Series
The topics will cover system design issue and solution for Building Automation, Power Delivery and Test & Measurement. TI experts introduce the latest technology and innovation system reference design. Discover ways to enhance the time-to-market and create safer and efficient industrial systems.
Phase Shifted Full Bridge (PSFB) vs. Full Bridge LLC (FB-LLC) for High Power DC/DC Conversion
The Phase Shifted Full Bridge (PSFB) has always been considered the best design for high power DC/DC conversion. However, a newer technology called Full Bridge LLC (FB-LLC) has recently been used and accepted for high power DC/DC conversion. In this 3 part series, we will go in-depth in discussing the pros and cons of both the PSFB and FB-LLC. We will then compare the basic problems between the PSFB and FB-LLC and give ideas on how to choose between the two given a certain application. Lastly, we will review some Reference Designs.
Power factor correct (PFC) basics and design considerations
Applications Engineer Jason Tao discusses PFC basics, topology comparisons and design considerations to achieve a cost-optimized and efficient PFC design.

The Concept
What is the Year of Return?
The "Year of Return, Ghana 2019" is a major landmark spiritual and birth-right journey inviting the Global African family, home and abroad, to mark 400 years of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Jamestown, Virginia. The arrival of enslaved Africans marked a sordid and sad period, when our kith and kin were forcefully taken away from Africa into years of deprivation, humiliation and torture. While August 2019 marks 400 years since enslaved Africans arrived in the United States, "The Year of Return, Ghana 2019" celebrates the cumulative resilience of all the victims of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade who were scattered and displaced through the world in North America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia.
Year Of Return - #Brafie

that you might not have been aware it was there." – Barack Obama

text: What we call wildness is a civilization other than our own. The hen-hawk shuns the farmer, but it seeks the friendly shelter and support of the pine. It will not consent to walk in the barn-yard, but it loves to soar above the clouds. It has its own way and is beautiful, when we would fain subject it to our will. So any surpassing work of art is strange and wild to the mass of men, as genius itself. No hawk that soars and steals our poultry is wilder than genius, and none is more persecuted or above persecution. It can never be poet laureate, to say "Pretty Poll" and "Polly want a cracker."

The Age of Iron trilogy is set in north western Europe between 61 and 54BC. I wrote it in modern English, including slang. A couple of people have commented about this. "I hardly think they used the word 'hot' to describe attractive people in the Iron Age" said one. "Some characters say 'OK', even though that term was invented in mid nineteenth century America" said another.
I agree with both of them. Your Iron Age Brit didn't use those words. However, lets take a look at the phrase with the offending hotness. It comes when a troubled young baddy called Weylin walks up and sees: "two smaller chairs, one for that terrifying greased turd Felix and one for hot young Keelin Orton". Weylin, in whose voice this section is written, would indeed not have said "hot" two thousand years ago. But then again, he wouldn't have said "two", "smaller", "chairs", or any other of the words in that phase – or the entire book – because he would have spoken ancient British Celtic, not modern English.

Harry and Chelsy: Relationship Musings
Do you think if what the papers are saying about the terrorist groups saying they want Harry and they will go after those he loves is true that Harry will propose to Chelsy to get her protection?
Her parents are millionaires I would think they would get her security guards but if he wants to get her proper protection that he has I would think he would propose.
I have always had the feeling that Harry would marry before William and that with Chelsy he seems to have met his match and I just wonder would he do this because he thinks he is in love :wub: and that he is protecting her by marrying her.
I have to agree in my opinion that him going has made all of the Royal family and those around them in more danger. But I do also think just because he is a member of the RF he should not be kept home.
Finally as a mom I can't help but think how proud Diana would have been of her son. Could you only imagine the photos of her at the airport for his arrival. :angel:
I could see Harry proposing spontaneously maybe thinking he'd protect Chelsy that way. But I somehow cannot see Chelsy agreeing to marry him right away. I always had the impression that she's very driven and independent. She'd probably want to finish her master and that she couldn't as a Royal. So even if he proposed I doubt they'd marry anytime soon. Yet her father is very wealthy. He could either afford protection for her or she'd have to move somehwere else (a royal residence even - unofficially of course) or Charles and the Davy's could split the costs for Chelsy's protection. I'm not sure but I don't think an engagement is the only way to protect Chelsy from possible threats. It's cute though that Harry finally gets his own engagement thread - about time.:lol:
Prince Harry is emerging as a far more sensible young man than his earlier party days might have indicated and anyone is going to be very careful about entering a marriage, it's Princess Diana's boys. They've seen firsthand how the wrong choice in a royal bride can land you. She would have been bursting the seams of her Chanel suits with pride over what kind of Princes her sons turned out to be.
She already has [some] protection.
Last year she was on the same flight as me from Cape Town. When we reached Heathrow there were 2 Royal Protection officers waiting at the gate - as soon as she stepped off the plane they were there, arm around her & whisked her away.
As for the British Royals - they are the most protected people on the planet! ... I don't think they'll need to take any action following Harry being at war - Their security is so tight & always has been that I think it's impossible to increase. The people probably most at danger are Chelsy & perhaps even Kate - the ones who don't have full on Royal Protection Officers 24/7. Perhaps those are the areas they need to look at & Harry probably will need to perhaps keep a lower profile over the next couple of months.
Next thing we know Chelsy will have been invited to Sandringham to spend Christmas with the Royal Family!!!
Th next thing we know is Prince Harry spending a very warm Christmas in Africa....
The issue of security is a no-brainer..Harry is tremendously insulated and nothing will ever happen to him. Threats are nothing new to the British Royals...they haven't forgotten what happened to Lord Mountbatten..
My hope for Harry and other royals is that they are somehow allowed to have careers separate from their devotion to the monarch. Haven't been able to figure out that in over 30 years of royal watching but I hope Harry and William are the lucky ones who do...
I could see him settling down before William but I don't know if it would be a good idea and furthermore I am not entirely sure it is still fully on with Chelsy.
And it also doesn't seem like she was as fully excepted by the family as Kate was/is...
If Leeds University area is as dangerous as they say, perhaps Chelsy could transfer to another school in a better part of England. We don't really know for sure if she does have "private" protection (either paid for by Herself, her Parents, or the Prince). One of her "flatmates" could actually be a bodyguard. But I do hope that they do not make themselves a target by clubbing till the wee hours of the morning----they could and probably should have their parties in private homes, for safety's sake and to avoid the ever present media.
Ok speaking of Leeds that leads me to another question. Has anyone seen the house that Chelsy is living in? With such a wealthy family I don't understand why she doesn't have nicer housing. The door looks like it has been thru the war and it looks very dingy and run down to me. I just wonder as I have never been to Leeds is this the best they could find for her.
That is also very true if she was in that much danger they would not be going out to clubs at all hours of the night so they don't find it as much of a threat as I would.
Good luck to them is all I can say. Thanks everyone for your views on a possible engagement.
^^She probably just wants to blend, hence the normal student housing.
I've been thinking that if they really want to be married, it might be handled the same way that Maxima's marriage to the Prince of Orange was handled: her father won't be able to come to the wedding because of his ties to a dictatorial regime.
Ooh, what's Chelsy's dad done to get himself banned?
There are allegations that he profited from his association with the dictator Robert Mugabe. It's believed that this is one reason why Chelsy hasn't been openly accepted by Harry's wider family.
Chelsy Davy's father faces inquiry over business deals | Independent, The (London) | Find Articles at BNET.com
I have a feeling Chelsy wouldn't stand for a wedding in which her father couldn't attend. I don't think Harry would either. They'd probably rather elope in Africa if that were the case.
But I've also never heard of the Royal Family not accepting Chelsy or her family due to that.
Has a Royal ever eloped in the British Royal Family?
Not legally. If under 25, one has to get the Queen's permission. Once over 25, a royal must give one year's notice to the Privy Council, which allows Parliament to ban their marriage if they don't like it.
Thanks to everyone who answered my questions. Does anyone think Prince Harry would actually run off with Chelsy if it came to that?

Anticancer activities
Lentinan and PSK are mushroom isolates used for anticancer activity in Japan and China. Irofulven and acylfulvene are semi-synthetic anticancer compounds derived from the mushroom isolate illudin S. Bristol-Myers Squibb produces paclitaxel using Penicillium raistrickii and plant cell fermentation (PCF). Endophytic fungi can synthesize the etoposide and teniposide precursor podophyllotoxin, as well as the topotecan and irinotecan precursor camptothecin. Clavariadelphus truncatus creates the farnesyltransferase inhibitor clavaric acid. Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus subrufescens create CLA. Inonotus obliquus creates the betulinic acid precursor betulin. Irofulven or 6-hydroxymethylacylfulvene (also known as HMAF of MGI-114) is an antitumor agent. It belongs to the family of drugs called alkylating agents. It inhibits the replication of DNA. Irofulven is an analogue of illudin S, a sesquiterpene toxin found in mushrooms of the genus Omphalotus. The compound was originally synthesized by Dr. Trevor McMorris (UCSD) and found to have anticancer properties by Dr. Michael J Kelner (UCSD). Acylfulvene is a cytotoxin that is related to illudin. Illudin itself can be extracted from the jack o'lantern mushroom (Omphalotus olearius). Acylfulvene is a compound that can be utilized towards the treatment of a wide assortment of cancers and tumors. It is thought that the acylfulvene compound cripples tumors by DNA alkylation (see DNA methylation), but the exact mechanism of action is not determined. At present, paclitaxel (Taxol) is the drug of choice to treat certain tumors a d cancers, but researchers claim[who?] that the efficacy of acylfulvene to fight various tumors is many times that of paclitaxel. The production and thus the use of acylfulvene is hampered by the fact that the extraction of illudin from mushrooms is difficult and also, at the present moment, acylfulvene is difficult to synthesize. Topotecan (trade name Hycamtin) is a chemotherapeutic agent that is a topoisomerase inhibitor. It is a water-soluble derivative of camptothecin. It is used in form of the hydrochloride to treat ovarian cancer and lung cancer, as well as other cancer types. After GlaxoSmithKline received final FDA approval for Hycamtin Capsules on October 15, 2007, topotecan is the first topoisomerase I inhibitor for oral use. Camptothecin (CPT) is a cytotoxic quinoline alkaloid which inhibits the DNA enzyme topoisomerase I (topo I). It was discovered in 1966 by M. E. Wall and M. C. Wani in systematic screening of natural products for anticancer drugs. It was isolated from the bark and stem of Camptotheca acuminata (Camptotheca, Happy tree), a tree native to China used as a cancer treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine. CPT showed remarkable anticancer activity in preliminary clinical trials but also low solubility and (high) adverse drug reaction. Because of these disadvantages synthetic and medicinal chemists have developed numerous syntheses of Camptothecin and various derivatives to increase the benefits of the chemical, with good results. Two CPT analogues have been approved and are used in cancer chemotherapy today, topotecan and irinotecan.

Chant Engineering Company, Inc., of New Britain, Pennsylvania, protests the issuance of a purchase order to Clover Industries, Inc., of Wausau, Wisconsin, under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers request for quotations (RFQ) No. W911XK-09-T-0082, issued as a small business set-aside for the rehabilitation of the Poe Lock hydraulic system at Sault Saint Marie, Michigan. Chant argues that Clover's quotation is unacceptable because it exceeded the limitation on subcontracting and is noncompliant with the small business set-aside requirements in the RFQ.
We deny the protest.
B-402054, Chant Engineering Company, Inc., December 29, 2009
The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release.
Matter of: Chant Engineering Company, Inc.
Marc Lamer, Esq., Kostos and Lamer, P.C., for the protester.
Thomas Janczewski, Esq., Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, for Clover Industries, an intervenor.
Paul Sax, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
Protest that quotation, on its face, should have led agency to conclude that winning vendor could not and would not comply with limitation on subcontracting clause is denied where protester points to no clear indications in the quotation that the successful vendor will not comply with the clause.
Chant Engineering Company, Inc., of New Britain, Pennsylvania, protests the issuance of a purchase order to Clover Industries, Inc., of Wausau, Wisconsin, under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers request for quotations (RFQ) No. W911XK-09-T-0082, issued as a small business set-aside for the rehabilitation of the Poe Lock hydraulic system at Sault Saint Marie, Michigan. Chant argues that Clover's quotation is unacceptable because it exceeded the limitation on subcontracting and is noncompliant with the small business set-aside requirements in the RFQ.
The RFQ, issued July 13, 2009, provided for the issuance of a fixed-price purchase order for the construction, fabrication, assembly, testing and delivery of the necessary hydraulic system components. Specifically, the RFQ required vendors to supply four hydraulic power units, six miter gate assemblies, six complete limit switch drive assemblies, four Tainter valve cylinders, two fender boom socket cylinders, two fender boom cylinders, six miter gate manifolds, four Tainter valve manifolds, two fender boom brake and boom manifolds, two fender boom brake and socket manifolds, spare parts and tools. RFQ at C4-C5. The purchase order was to be issued to the vendor whose quotation offered the "best value" to the agency considering technical capability/experience, past performance, and price. Id. at 8.
The RFQ incorporated by reference the "Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside" clause, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) sect. 52.219-6, and the "Limitation on Subcontracting" (LOS) clause, FAR sect. 52.219-14. Id. at 7. The LOS clause states, in pertinent part:
(b) By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for- -(1) Services (except construction). At least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern.
(2) Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such supplies). The concern shall perform work for at least 50 percent of the cost of manufacturing the supplies, not including the cost of materials.
The agency received quotations from 12 vendors, including Chant and Clover. Agency Report (AR), Tab 1, Memorandum of Law, at 2. Clover stated in its quotation that it would be the prime contractor and that Oilgear Company would be its subcontractor, and specified the components each would supply. The quotation also stated that the hydraulic power units would be designed, assembled, tested, and painted, and the system assembled and tested, in Oilgear's Milwaukee facility. Clover Quotation at 2. Clover's price was $2,131,075 and its quotation received a very good overall rating under the non-price factors; Chant's price was $2,460,960 and its quotation received a marginal rating. Agency Request for Dismissal, exh. A, at 2. The agency determined that Clover's quotation represented the best value, and issued a purchase order to Clover on September 24.
Chant argues that Clover's quotation should have been found unacceptable because, on its face, it did not comply with the RFQ's LOS clause, FAR sect. 52.219-14(b)(2) (the so-called "50% rule"). Specifically, Chant contends that the breakdown of work to be performed by Clover and Oilgear shows that Clover will perform less than 50% of the contract value.
As a general rule, an agency's judgment as to whether a small business concern will comply with the LOS clause is a matter of responsibility, and the contractor's actual compliance with the provisions is a matter of contract administration. However, where a quotation, on its face, should have led the agency to conclude that the concern could not and would not comply with the subcontracting limitation, this is a matter of technical acceptability. A submission that fails to conform to a material term or condition of the solicitation, such as the LOS clause, is unacceptable and may not form the basis for an order. KIRA, Inc., B-287573.4, B-287573.5, Aug. 29, 2001, 2001 CPD para. 153 at 3.
We find nothing on the face of Clover's quotation indicating an intent not to comply with the LOS clause. Chant points to nothing, and we find nothing, in Clover's quotation or in the solicitation that establishes that Clover's method of performance does not comply with the LOS clause. In contrast, the agency states that its analysis of the quotation shows that Clover will supply and fabricate a number of unique, one-of-a-kind components and assume total project responsibility, while Oilgear is to supply other components that are readily available in its supply chain and require only modest fabrication to meet the solicitation specifications. AR, Tab E, Engineers' Statement, at 3-4. Additionally, the agency states that, after analyzing Clover's proposal, it determined that Clover will incur far more than 50% of the cost to manufacture the entire hydraulic power system (not including the cost of materials). Id. at 3. Under these circumstances, there is no basis for us to conclude that Clover's quotation, on its face, should have led the agency to conclude that Clover could not and would not comply with the LOS clause.
Chant argues that Clover's quotation should have been found unacceptable because it showed that Clover would not incur at least 50% of the personnel costs, as required under the LOS clause. Protest at 5. However, either subparagraph (1) or subparagraph (2) of the LOS clause applies, but not both, depending upon whether the contract is one for services or supplies. The contract here is for the construction, fabrication, assembly, and testing of a hydraulic system, components and new operating machinery, and thus falls under the supplies requirement at subparagraph (2) (as reflected in the agency's analysis above which we have no basis to question). Accordingly, subparagraph (1), establishing the 50% of personnel costs requirement, does not apply. See TFab Mfg., LLC, B-401190, June 18, 2009, 2009 CPD para. 127 at 3-4.
The protest is denied.

Welcome to the International Discussion forumFor non-English speakers to talk about all things Jamiroquai and more. If you speak Spanish, Italian, German, French (or any other language) then this is where it Feels Just Like It Should...
hey que bueno que este es un foro para los fans que no hablan ingles sino como podian todos postear en el en ingles?? en serio ni lo estan usando como deberian postean igual y los que no saben ingles siguen sin intender una palabra de lo dicen jajaja
just to keep u informed...

i want to tell u and them that we absolutely trust in them and that it is just to keep the order...
have u all a great time!!!!!
Well said Sandriche !!!
And what a good job you are doing - you need the welcomed help to keep JPP funking like a well oiled machine making it a joy and pleasure for all to read and post on !!!
So... Who are the moderators for the Balkanski Jam topic? You surely didn't forget that topic?
Yey!!!! Thanks, Sandriche! You are the best! We looove you!!!
I honestly don't know what got into me today. Must be this sunny day. Spring got into my head. I've been so positive and happy all day long.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm....sounds great!!
as Goldmember said in the movie: "I'm glad that we schprehenzi the same linguidi!" ( or something like that... )
and every day more people join the forum
YES i am very happy to see many people join this forum every day...
IMAGINE SINCE 1st MAY we have94 new members!!!...
WELCOME TO U ALL and introduce yourself here
we are curious about who u are and your experiences with jamiroquai!
have fun and keep on funkin`
hmm... this is an 'international' forum, correct?
and while it seems to be centred on different languages... would i be crucified if i were to start up an australian topic (or if someone else did)? because there seems to be a few of us around, and really - our english does have varients, so it could be classified as a different language. maybe
maybe not, then. oh well.
but we should at least have somewhere where we can rip out eachother's throats over the footy...
speaking of which, i got 7/8 for this weeks tips... damn port - the one time i DON'T tip you, you win... curses sheedy - it was your 600th game as coach! you were supposed to WIN!
(only aussies would have any idea what i'm on about... ah well... just let me vent for a bit...)
Best the new international section.
But the problems between me and some users remain...
this because the user that did the problems is now moderator.
you know...i don't know what you had with moderators and so on...but sometimes is better to keep your problems for yourself...just my opinion!
I believe you can open it. Hope someone already replied to you. It would be wonderful for all you Aussies to open your own thread. I think Sam is from Australia, too.
I sure am Australian, from lovely Melbourne
The international section is really for non-English speaking topics, but it would be great to have an Aussie topic in the 'Everyday Chat' section, so I'd say that would be the right place to open a topic
saludos Mary!
Estoy conjeturando que hablas español…
No lo hablo sino que tengo una idea de lo que tú dicho y yo sabemos te sientes.
mi español es MUY malo

And This Is What Is Called TOO MUCH HIPSTER
Robert Pattinson finally unveiled what's been lurking underneath his hat and it's more terrifying and ridiculous than we could have ever imagined. The enchanted unicorn forest is now a symbol for a hipster nightmare.
At the Go Campaign's 7th Annual Go Go Gala in Beverly Hills last night (Side note: "GO! GO!" is what I screamed after looking at the shit that Peaky Blinders threw up on RPattz's head), RPattz made everyone's brain explode with the puzzle on his head. I'm going to need Dan Brown to explain this shit to me. The front is giving me "errrr" and the back is giving me "aaaaaaaah."
RPattz's head is like a game of Classic Concentration. I see three things on his head: a long-haired guinea pig in a wind storm, Moe Howard and an extra chunky landing strip. Hmm… What do you get when you add those things together? Oh I know. You get this word:
I hate to sound like one of those Robsten4Eva crazies who haven't had their meds yet, but that is all FKA Twigs on his head. Sure, RPattz could be earning extra coins by advertising Dumber and Dumber To on his head or it could be for a movie where he plays a man who was savagely attacked by a Flowbee, but I'm guessing it was FKA Twigs' idea. One night while she was dancing naked in a cloud of incense, she looked down at the double lane landing strip on her crotch and thought to herself that it would be really hot if her man had a matching one on the back of his head. RPattz better watch it, though. Because Michelle Rodriguez and Gerard Butler are going to try to lick and bump crotches with the cooch strip on his head.
It could've been a work of art, though. All RPattz had to do was leave a circle patch underneath that strip and he would've paid tribute to one of the most iconic perfumes of the late 80s and 90s.
It would've made a statement without saying a word.

The very best of traditional woods, contemporary materials and modern building methods are used in my range of John Price Concert Guitars.
Utilising both musicianship and cabinet making skills, I take an intuitive approach when designing and building these instruments. My unique approach to the construction of the soundboard and the lattice that supports it greatly enhance the volume, tonal range and flexibility of nuance required in the modern style of guitar.
By coupling this type of soundboard with an arched, braceless back, sustain and projection are also greatly enhanced.
All of these features are complimented by a consistency in the set up of the guitar resulting in an appreciable ease of playing offering the performer a greater scope of musical expression and interpretation.
It has been a pleasure to see my guitars chosen by many of the worlds top concert and recording artists and it continues to be a rewarding challenge in meeting their demands.

When this picture popped into my in box I was surprised. Are these really Britain's favourite biscuits? Should I feel so inclined, it's relatively easy to buy British goodies either via the internet, from one of the larger local supermarkets or from Geoffrey's of London in Antibes. We rarely eat biscuits, particularly not shop bought ones. Not that I've got anything against biscuits but I now prefer to make them myself. Obviously, I'm not going to make Hobnobs or Custard Creams. Instead, I'll make chocolate chip cookies, or something similar, particularly if I'm expecting guests.
This picture got both of us thinking about our favourite childhood biscuits. My beloved is particularly partial to chocolate biscuits and he has fond memories of tins of Fox's Chocolate Biscuits at Christmas. Remember those? Biscuits covered in white, milk and dark chocolate. My favourites were the coffee sandwiches in thick milk chocolate while my beloved claims he liked them all. Which is your favourite?
Like me he was also partial to a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer – who isn't? – and enjoyed the odd Wagon Wheel. If I recall correctly Tunnocks always came in packs of six and my mother would send me with a pack or two every time we went on a school trip. Not to scoff myself you understand, but to share with my classmates. My packed meals always contained enough food for a dozen people, no wonder I always got a place on the back seat – class-mate cupboard love.
My mother always used to have a large biscuit tin for visitors which may have gone some way to explaining my apparent popularity. If there was a crowd of us, there was never any question of whose house we were going to for refreshments. In addition, my mother never minded whether I turned up with four or fourteen friends. everyone was welcome. It never mattered how many biscuits we ate, the tin was never empty.
I seem to recall my favourite biscuits were lemon puffs, coconut cream sandwiches and Garibaldis which I later discovered were in fact named after Guiseppe Garibaldi!
The biscuit selection in the header photo above reminds me of the free biscuits handed out by my last employer. As the company grew, both organically and through acquisition, I parlayed the free biscuits into better (and free) coffee machines. However, some of the staff will no doubt always remember me as the person who did away with free biscuits!
What were your childhood favourites?

A marathon of tape-cutting and airport opening photo opportunities for Spanish politicians ended this week as rules on electioneering meant nothing new could be inaugurated until after regional and municipal elections on 22 May.
The rush to produce appealing photos means many facilities have been inaugurated before they are finished. El País lists everything from a non-functioning airport at Castellón to a metro line in Seville.
The government was still negotiating with Eta after the Basque separatist group broke its ceasefire by killing two people with a bomb at Madrid airport in December 2006, El País and El Mundo report.
El Mundo concentrates on how publication of Eta's minutes of meetings with government representatives has led the opposition People's party (PP) to demand the resignation of the interior minister, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba. The PP claims an Eta extortion racket intermediary who was due to be arrested was tipped off on the interior ministry's instructions, presumably to meet pledges to Eta that no one would be arrested during the ceasefire.
El Mundo points an accusing finger at the ministry's number two, the secretary of state for security, Antonio Camacho. Camacho himself says Eta's version of events cannot be trusted.
Eta's methods are exposed in evidence at the trial of the alleged militant Arkaitz Goikoetxea. The court was shown a video in which he admits planning to kidnap and kill a socialist town councillor, Benjamín Atutxa. The video shows him handcuffed by an alleged Eta arms cache. It also shows the injectable valium that was to be used to drug the victim.
The Spanish state will take shares in four of the country's newly-merged savings bank groups, which have asked for extra capital so they can meet tough central bank stress tests, according to El Mundo. It says the government will put in €7.7bn. The Barcelona-based La Vanguardia estimated a lower sum of €6.6bn.
La Vanguardia gives the Catalan regional prime minister, Artur Mas, of the nationalist Convergence and Union coalition, a front page slot as he declares his region is "the Germany of Spain". He is not referring to a booming economy, but to an Angela Merkel-style dislike of paying to support poor regions. "Spain has lived beyond its means" thanks to money from Catalonia, he said.
Spaniards are worried about rising interest rates. In a country with one of the highest property ownership rates in Europe and where mortgages are usually at a variable rate, a slow increase in rates over the past year has already added €50 a month to the average (€150,000 over 25 years) mortgage, El País reports. More hikes await.
Sports pages show photos of the muddy, lumpy pitch where Spain's World Cup winning football team is to play Lithuania, describing it as a "potato field". Speculation was rife about who would hobble off injured at the game.

Can anyone explain to me the 'workflow' for using the "Fit", "Fit With Tolerance", and "Fit (tolerance only)" options for hole Tolerance/ Precision?
It's obvious that the various limits for hole and shaft sizing (e.g. H7, H9, H11, from Machinery's Handbook or elsewhere) are contained within the software. I think I have even seen calculations of the "Clearance" or "Minimum Variation" and "Maximum Variation" of combined Hole / Shaft combinations (e.g. An LC6 fit for a 1/4" screw is an H9/f8 combination and provides a minimum of .0005" clearance and a maximum of .0028".)
But it seems to me that the feature manager is extraordinarily sensitive to: 1) Where you click and When 2) Tab or Enter in drop-down boxes 3) Choosing a Display Type 4) Changing the Classification type.
I'd like to be able to use this information to instead getting Machinery's Handbook down from the shelf so often, but right now I seem to get more "Ding!" and "OK" boxes than anything else.
This Engineers Edge page is an example of the calculations: Preferred Tolerances & Fits Chart ANSI B4.1 Calculator RC - LT Fits | GD&T Tolerances - Engineers Edge

In the last week, we've found two people testing the weather-resistant sealing of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II but not intentionally. Not just in rain, but in an actual full scale dunk in water – a very scary proposition to folks who've spent big bucks on the 5D mk ii! I think we've learned something besides the quality of the water resistance of the 5D2, keep a bag of rice around the house.
First, we heard from Joey (trigg3rsnappy on twitter) and check out her photography site. She had posted "dropped her 5D MkII and f2.8L lens IN the river… going to cry right now #Canon #troubleshoot" and we wanted to know more… a bit later, "its official – no water damage after being dipped in a waterfall! the 5D Mk II is an underwater camera – take it scuba diving! #Canon" so we asked who helped and what she did to keep from losing the camera. Here's her reply:
"It's the lovely and very patient Reza from Five Star Camera Repairs Lvl 1, 49 Market St Sydney. At the State Theatre Bdg let him know Joey sent them =)
He didn't even find a watermark in my lens!
The guy did say that I did everything right to prevent damage and corrosion so I shall share what I did:
1. Switched the camera off immediately and took out the battery & CF card (so it won't get short-circuited)
2. Take off the lens and dry everything as much as possible with whatever was available at the time (which was my bandanna & tissues – yeh I know but better tissues then a wet L Lens and MkII =)
3. When I got home I placed the camera and lens near heat source (my halogen heater) turning it as it dries a bit more
4. Put camera and lens in my insulated camera bag and dumped 3kg of rice in it to absorb the condesation.
5. Left bag close to heater but not too close
6. Take to repairs shop so they can take it apart ASAP.
May be a different story if it wasn't fresh water (say – salt water… ugh!).
=) Joey"
A couple of days later, we also hear from Steven who's story includes a 2 minute soak!
"I went with a friend to Groningen from Almere. At the time of our way back we had cycled about 280 km and we where, as you could imagine, pretty tired. I placed my recumbent bike on the side of the road and got some bread from the top-bag. This was also the bag my Canon 5D MKII was in. I went to my friend to give some bread and at that moment when I looked back I saw my bike fall over due to the wind. Out of the bag my camera rolled and it rolled down into the little river. This was a very dark river with dirty brown water. Me and my friend tried to recover it with no luck since the side was very steep.
I had no other choice than going into the water. With still 70 km to go to home I went in the water to recover it. Trough the dirty water I saw the CANON logo underneath the surface, it was on the front of my 28-135 lens. I grabbed it and pulled it out.
The camera was dirty and covered under a lot of mud. Also the back and top LCD screen where completely soaked and full of water. The first thing I did was removing the battery and CF card. When I looked through the viewfinder I saw a LOT of water inside, and actually a lot of debris floating around like it was some aqua-experience-theme-park-aquarium I was looking at, lol. At that time I was about to cry since this camera is my "everything" .
In "Emmeloord", a small town in Flevoland (The Netherlands) we sat on a couch where we cleaned it even better… when pressing the rear and top buttons, water went out of the top LCD screen. When I got home the CF card still worked!
I called Cannon and they helped be greatly. Also with tips from the internet I placed the body in the sun, in a bowl of rice and eventually at the rear of my computer. I placed it at the same height as my video-card would blow it's hot "cooling air" out.
This helped greatly and within 2-3 days all visible water seemed to be gone.
Then I tested the lens. I first placed it on my old Canon EOS 3000 analogue camera. To my surprise the Autofocus AND the stabilizer still worked! Seeing that the camera was still fine and the lens worked I placed it on my Canon 1D MKII camera and it worked nicely. The pictures have way less contrast so it's not usable anymore, but the electric parts are still working! When adding more contrast on the pc it's still "usable" for hobby use though.
When I noticed this, and a female friend pushed me to test it I decided to check the camera. I first put the battery in the charger to see if that fully functioned. It worked, it charged perfectly. So that was the point where I placed it in the camera.
Turned it on… the screen stayed black for a second and my heart skipped a beat. Then… it worked!!!! I saw the screen again! It asked for the date and stuff so it had been reset but who cares it worked! Tested the film mode, various shutter speeds, looked for death pixels but it all worked fine!
The only thing it did was, when I removed the main battery and put it back on, it would ask for the time/date again. So the small battery is dead. I removed it and I still have to put a replacement in there. If that works, I'd say it's good as new apart from some dust in the viewfinder.
Regards, Steven"'

Many know that the Venice Biennial is a major contemporary art exhibition which takes place once every two years (in odd years) in Venice, Italy. At the Biennale, scores of superrich collectors arrive in Venice by sea, joined by museum directors, curators, artists, auction-house experts, and plain old art lovers alike.
Though not all viewers are cut from the same cloth, they all come to see and be seen and to take the temperature of contemporary art today. But amid the glamorous parties and the people-watching — there is also serious talk about the current market for art.
Yet the New York Times reports Thomas P. Campbell, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as saying, "this Biennale is anything but commercial. [The Biennale's 39-year-old artistic director], Massimiliano Gioni has managed to bring together a surprising and interesting group of artists in an exhibition that is both thought-provoking and engaging."
Each Biennale exhibition year, an international jury is appointed to grant the following awards. The awards ceremony takes place during the official opening of the Exhibition, which will run this year from June 1-November 24, 2013.
– Golden Lion for best National Participation;
– Golden Lion for best artist in the International Exhibition Il Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace);
– Silver Lion for a promising young artist in the International Exhibition Il Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace).
The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director. The Giardini houses 30 permanent national pavilions. Countries not owning a pavilion in the Giardini are exhibited in other venues across Venice.
With 88 countries participating, 10 of those for the first time, there is a lot of art to see. In the U.S. pavilion, artist Sarah Sze's installation, "Triple Point," comprises thousands of souvenirs of Venice and of her own labor, from color-coordinated postcards and sand to boulders and sawed-off ladders:
A newcomer this year is the Roman Catholic Church who will sponsor its first pavilion at the Venice Biennale, featuring the Czech photographer Josef Koudelka, the Milan-based multimedia group Studio Azzurro and the artist Lawrence Carroll. The New York Times notes, "the Vatican's presence at the Biennale is the brainchild of Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, an exuberant polymath who as president of the Pontifical Council for Culture since 2009 has tried to build bridges between the church and contemporary culture, two worlds that have often clashed."
If you're like me and you aren't jet setting to Venice to see the Biennale this year, make a point to read about the exhibition and learn more about the participating artists over the next couple months. These are names you will continue to hear about in the news, read about in art journals, and see in museums in years to come. It's also a great way to keep track of the trends in art and get a feel for how important art is in our lives and to people all around the globe.

The beach was sooo much less crowded than when we usually go in July. We were able to drive around without as much traffic. We used the wonderful homeschool discount to visit the Aquarium at Broadway on the Beach. We spent most of our days hanging out at the pool. We actually had to persuade the children to even go to the ocean twice! Jason took the big kids to play mini golf on Friday- another first for us.
We had a great trip. God provided and took care of us- from Ashlyne not feeling well last Saturday and getting well instantly to our trip home today with a broken water pump. We are so very thankful that we had this week together and so very thankful that God blesses us as a family beyond what we would even think to ask for!
