The 4-channel GM-6100F delivers a whopping 600 watts max (60 watts x 4 or 150 watts x 2 at 4 ohms; 75 watts x 4 at 2 ohms) — plenty of juice to power your high-quality speakers. It's also got built-in 4-channel crossovers. Speaker level inputs for easy connection to an OEM headunit. Oversized power terminals. And a wide input level of 200mV to 6.5V.
Higher PowerHaving more power isn't just about LOUD. It's also about CLEAN, getting the most out of your speakers and your music. Constant road noise makes it hard for the music to be heard clearly. But with 600 watts max. power, you'll get to hear all the words and all the notes.
4-Channel CrossoversFor getting the music just the way you like it, 4-channel crossovers are tough to beat. You can route the low frequency signals (80Hz or lower, -12dB/octave) to the speakers that handle them best, and filter out the higher-frequency signals. This optimizes your system's efficiency and delivers the best possible sound quality.
Speaker Level InputsWhat, you DON'T own a Pioneer headunit? Well, we won't hold it against you. In fact we'll even help you build onto your system. The GM-6100F's speaker level inputs allow you to connect your OEM unit (or any unit that doesn't have the typical RCA-type inputs) without having to buy add-on adapters. SO, the install goes faster, you save money, and you've got a Pioneer amp in your vehicle.

Soil is strictly controlled under APHIS quarantine regulations 7 CFR 330 because it can readily provide a pathway for the introduction of a variety of dangerous organisms into the United States.
Importation of soil into the United States from foreign sources is prohibited, and movement within the continental U.S. is restricted unless authorized by APHIS under specific conditions, safeguards and controlled circumstances described in a permit and/or compliance agreement.
General Information
Shipping Labels
Shipping requirements for importing regulated soil requiring black, white, green, and yellow labels.
Frequently Asked Questions
View a list of the commonly asked questions and concerns associated with the application process for a soil permit.
Soil can contain numerous diseases and pests. Soil from almost all foreign countries and from many States of the United States can move only if conditions and safeguards are met. For more information on how to import and move soil, view circular.
Permit Process
The importation and movement of untreated soil is considered by APHIS to be an extremely high risk activity. For this reason, several levels of review and approval are required before a permit can be provided. For more information, view soil permit process.
Permit Eligibility For Graduate Students and Post-doctoral Workers
Hand-Carry Conditions
This web page contains information related to hand-carry conditions for all authorized soil hand carry events.
Foreign Soil Under 3 pounds
A permit can be issued by the Permit Unit usually within 2 weeks if the applicant has requested an authorization for less than three pounds of soil (per shipment), and the soil can be heat sterilized by PPQ at ports with appropriate facilities.
Foreign Soil Over 3 pounds
Soil which cannot be treated at the port of entry may be authorized for movement to a facility approved in advance and authorized under a permit issued by PPQ. Specific safeguard provisions are described in the permit and also in a compliance agreement with the facility.
Domestic Soil
Soil from Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands is handled as foreign soil and is authorized movement into the continental U.S. under the provisions described for foreign soil.
Canadian Soil Soil cannot enter the U.S. if from the following areas:

APHIS Inspected Facilities Authorized to Receive Soil
This is the updated list of facilities inspected by USDA-APHIS to receive foreign and interstate (domestic) soil samples. This list supersedes all previous lists. Facilities inspected to receive foreign soil samples must obtain a soil permit and sign a compliance agreement. The compliance agreement also authorizes the facility to receive domestic shipments. Facilities inspected to receive foreign soil samples have the permit expiration date in parenthesis following the name and address. Facilities shown without a date or with an asterisk are authorized to receive domestic soil only. Because soil from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories is handled as foreign soil, it cannot move to a facility approved on the list as 'Domestic only.' Soil received by an inspected facility may not be re-shipped to any other facility unless the destination facility is shown in this list as eligible to receive that type of soil.

The Accenture Technology Vision for Insurance 2017 report showcases the tech trends and innovations essential to insurance businesses' success in the digital economy. These trends will empower people to invent and achieve more in the era of the intelligent insurer.
We spoke to John Cusano, Accenture's Global Insurance Industry lead, about how human beings are taking control and shaping technology to fit our needs, large and small.
Q: The theme of this year's Technology Vision is "Technology for People"—please sum up what this means for the insurance industry.
The Technology for People theme builds on last year's report, where we voiced the idea that insurers must put People First as they accelerate their digital transformation. This year in our Tech Vison, we see that as the digital revolution takes hold, it's bringing a new era of human empowerment.
We're witnessing technology profoundly transforming the way we work and live, and in the process unleashing tremendous opportunity as well as difficult challenges we must address. In fact, 87 percent of the insurance respondents in our research agreed that we have entered an era of technology advancement that is no longer marked by linear progression, but by an exponential rate of change.
Technology changes are all around us, and are coming faster than ever. You might say that is not new, but what makes it different this time is that humans are taking control and shaping technology to fit our needs, large and small. No longer are we waiting and wondering how the latest digital technology innovations will change things; we're in control and we're adapting technology to our goals and requirements.
Q: Let's begin with the first trend—AI is the new UI. What's that all about?
We're expecting artificial intelligence, or AI, to come of age in a big way in 2017. We're already seeing a growing list of insurers leverage AI to transform their customer- and distributor-facing channels, including the use of robo-advisors to support customers in their purchasing decisions and agents in their sales processes. As AI becomes more of the user experience, our research predicts that it will grow beyond being just an intelligent interface.
With each customer interaction becoming more personalized, powerful, and natural, AI will become the digital insurer's ambassador. It will be common in future for agents, insurance salesforces and bots to work in partnership to optimize a quote or financial advice, with AI mining multiple datasets to offer contextual insights into the customer's needs, the products in the market and other factors.
Because of its powerful simplicity, customers may soon spend more time engaged with a company's AI than talking to its people. So, picture this—in the same way that a customer can be delighted or angered based on a customer service representative, an AI system will represent a company's brand and can leave a lasting impression.
Q: The second trend, Ecosystems Power Plays, is about the power of ecosystems and platforms. Why are ecosystems becoming such an important strategic play for insurers?
Platform companies like Google, Amazon, Uber and Airbnb have broken the rules for how companies operate and compete by inventing platform models that provide a single point to access multiple services. To remain relevant in this world, insurers need a rich and robust ecosystem approach.
This builds on the work many carriers have been doing for years, leveraging platforms such as Google for marketing, online aggregators for distribution, and cloud partners for technical infrastructure or applications. Their core business functions rely heavily on a complex network of digital partners—cloud providers, security vendors, workforce platforms, sales and CRM providers, marketing platforms and more.
The challenge for insurers is to embrace a more holistic strategy that balances tactical decision-making about such platforms with strategic investment in the digital ecosystems of the future. We foresee an explosion of collaborative ventures between industry leaders. Where will insurers play in the emerging ecosystems around the connected home, the smart factory, precision agriculture, connected health, transport-on-demand and so forth?
Q: Trend number 3 is about the future of work: Workforce Marketplace. Do you foresee this trend helping insurers address some of the challenges they face as their workforces age?
Our industry is on the cusp of a skills crisis as it struggles to attract "born digital" professionals to join the industry, and as a vast part of its existing workforce retires over the next few years. What's more, many insurers are finding that their existing workforces lack skills in customer experience, analytics, AI and other digital competencies they need to remain relevant in a changing market.
As traditional roles are automated, insurers' workforces may shrink, but their people will need to be more tech-savvy, creative, analytic, customer-centric and entrepreneurial. The skills on demand platforms and powerful collaboration tools offer exciting new ways to access the right talent to grow insurance businesses.
These offerings enable insurers to quickly look internally or to the external labor market to meet the demand for skills. They offer efficient ways for insurers to plug gaps in their own capabilities—for example, accessing top user-experience or data science skills on-demand—and to efficiently speed new products or initiatives to market.
Q: Design for Humans, the fourth trend, seems to cut right to the heart of this year's Tech Vision.
Design for Humans is the epitome of Technology for People. Instead of us having to learn how to use technology, we are now teaching it to enhance our lives, making them richer and more fulfilling. This is thanks to the combination of the Internet of Things, big data and AI—it enables us to gather and act on masses of data about how customers live and work, what they think, what they want, how they react….
Insurance carriers have an opportunity to move beyond simple personalization techniques towards offering their customers tailored "living services" that are aligned to their personal and workplace behaviors and goals. As a starting point, insurers can think about shifting from pooling and pricing risk based only on historical data to automatically assessing and pricing risk directly, individually and in real-time.
They can move beyond simply providing customers with insurance cover. They can offer them real-time services and risk management solutions that address their real goals—whether these are a need for safe transport, or support as they move to a new home or start a family—all driven by adaptive technologies and interfaces that interact with customers and employees in a more natural, human way.
They can also understand which incentives will motivate positive change in customers' behavior. This opens opportunities to reduce claims while strengthening long-term relationships with customers. This is an amazing opportunity for the industry to completely change its relationship with the customer.
Q: The final trend is The Uncharted, and it focuses on the need to ensure that we have the right standards, regulations, and ethical norms to support disruptive new technologies. What role do you see insurers playing here?
Digital pioneers are creating new industries like connected transportation and connected healthcare. Insurance should take a leadership role as people, organizations and entire industries seek to understand, manage and reduce the risks of a range of disruptive trends from precision agriculture to factory robotics to the sharing and gig economies to self-driving vehicles.
These are unparalleled moves and they bring entirely new opportunities for insurers. Emerging digital ecosystems are transcending disparate markets to create new industries—but risk management must be embedded into ecosystems if they are to win support from consumers, businesses and governments.
This is an opportunity for insurers to engage in the transfer of new risks and to help spur adoption of exciting technologies that will profoundly change the world over the next decade.
With great opportunity comes great responsibility. And it's our responsibility to apply Technology for People. We must dream big, but we must also take the actions needed to make sure that everyone participates in and benefits from the innovations we are creating.

Collaboration: Everyone wants to do it right and do it more, but some days it seems that it's harder than ever. Too many projects, too many platforms, too many interruptions, too many schedules and locations to coordinate.

Australia 9/342 (50 overs)
England 9/195 (37.1 overs) still in progress
England wins the toss elects to field Bailey(au) happy wanted to bat anyway.
Controversy: James Taylor (Eng) probably robbed of a century as he was run out on 98 from a ball that should have been dead. He was given out by the ground umpire LBW which was found by the third umpire to be not out. At that point the ball should have been dead and so he should not have been run out. Thems the breaks.
The highlight was Aaron Finch's 135 off 128 deliveries. Aaron Finch gets man of the match.

FEBRUARY 28 : an astronaut in spacewalk in 3D video
This is the first image ever taken from the ground, of an astronaut in extravehicular activity (EVA1). Steve Bowen, attached to the end of the ISS robotic arm (MSS), was working on a defective ammonia pump. The pump was hooked to the ISS mobile base system (MBS). All major elements of the robotic arm are visible, including the structures of the motorized joints and some elements along the arms (smaller than the astronaut).
Passage of the International Space Station and Discovery, taken on February 28th 2011 at 17:58UT from the area of Weimar, Germany. The video is accelerated 2.5 times (acquisition at 10 fps, video at 25 fps). The altitude of the ISS is 360 km (200 miles), for a size of a hundred metres. The speed of ISS is 17,000 miles per hour and its angular speed at zenith is 1.2° per second.
As shown in the caption below, Discovery is docked to the ISS on the left of the image and is seen essentially from the rear (stabilizer and nozzle), the wings being vertical. At the beginning of the sequence, we see the inside of the payload bay, while at the end we see the heat shield, the body flap and the payload bay doors (opened) as two bright lines.

Q I recently moved to South Boston and got a trial membership at Gold�s Gym. I was told that if I did not like the facility, I could simply sign a cancellation form, and I would not be charged any money. I visited this facility twice and found it too busy and told the girl working at the front desk that I did not wish to continue my trial membership. She took down my name and information and told me I was �all set.� A few weeks later, I noticed a charge for approximately $150. Gold�s charged me as a full member. I explained what happened several times and have since also been charged a monthly fee of $49.99. I have never experienced such awful customer service or the complete lack of professional courtesy this establishment has shown.
A.This sort of dispute has soured a lot of consumers on the health club business and is why consumer protection agencies produce brochures on the subject. Disputes over trial memberships and contractual obligations led some clubs to abandon the practice of the �we�ve got you� contract in favor of a month-to-month system.
Clearly, that�s not the case here. So, I appealed to the folks at Gold�s national offices. Corporate Vice President Dave Reiseman said it�s up to franchisees to handle these sorts of issues and offered no other insight.
The gym�s general manager, Lindsay Parker, explained that they have no record of a cancellation before the trial period expired and won�t honor your request. �We can�t just go by what someone says three weeks later,� she said. �I have policies the club owners put in place that I have to follow.�
This situation highlights the dangers of these sorts of arrangements: The �trial membership� comes with an obligation. You�re essentially taking a membership � and providing your financial information in the process � with the possibility of a cancellation during a one- or two-week trial. That�s if you follow their rules to do so. Otherwise, you�re locked in for the contract period unless you meet specific criteria, like moving 25 or more miles away or being under doctor�s orders to stop exercising.
Given the cancellation confusion, you can also try to appeal to the state Attorney General�s office, state Consumer Affairs office and the Better Business Bureau to involve a third party to mediate the dispute.

Below are several questions Senior Helpers frequently receives from clients seeking senior care services. If you don't see your question answered here, please contact us.
How will you find the right caregiver for our family?
During the initial assessment, we take detailed notes about your loved one's hobbies, interests and needs. We then review our caregiver pool to find the person with the matching personality and skills. A member of our team will also be present on the first day of home care for the caregiver introduction and to ensure a smooth start.
Do you train your caregivers?
Yes, extensively. We start by hiring caregivers who have experience working in senior care, then we provide education on Senior Helpers' processes, standards and core values. New caregivers complete a 6-hour orientation training that includes topics such as rights of clients, infection control, client care tips and more. All caregivers have access to dozens of training topics about health care and senior care.
Do I pay the caregiver directly?
No, you should never pay a caregiver directly. One designated family member will receive an invoice every other week, and payment should be remitted directly to our office.
What can I expect in a typical day with my caregiver?
It depends on the type of service you have requested. It might include grocery shopping and running errands in the morning, preparing and eating lunch, preparing dinner for later, and going for a walk and playing games in the afternoon. We also have many activities available for our caregivers to check out from our Client Resource Library, including mind-stimulating programs for our clients with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Will we have the same caregiver every time?
We can't guarantee your caregiver will always be available, but we'll make every effort to have the same caregiver for every visit. We may occasionally introduce a new caregiver so that you'll always have an available "substitute" who is familiar with your loved one's needs and with whom you feel comfortable.
What do I do if I don't like my caregiver?
If you or your senior family member is uncomfortable for any reason, please let us know – you won't hurt anyone's feelings. The most important thing is that you are happy and feel comfortable with your caregiver. If you would like us to find a new caregiver, call our office and we will assist you.
What happens if our caregiver gets sick or can't come that day?
On days when your caregiver is unavailable, we make every effort to find a substitute who is also a great match for your loved one. We will call to notify you of the situation, and if you have not previously met the substitute caregiver, a member of our team will typically come to your home to make introductions.
What types of specialty services do you provide?
Senior Helpers locations provide a full range of senior services that may include Wellness Watch, Sitter Services, Care Management, Relocation Assistance, and much more. Please contact your local office to find out more.
Can Senior Helpers help with medication?
When provided with a schedule, our caregivers can remind their clients to take medication at appropriate times, but they cannot assist or administer the medication.
What do you mean by "light housekeeping"?
It's those everyday chores our caregivers offer to help keep the home tidy, including doing the dishes and laundry, ironing, changing the linen and vacuuming.
What happens if our loved one goes into the hospital?
Senior Helpers is here for you as much or as little as you need us during this stressful and difficult time. As soon as you can, call our office to let us know the specific situation and an estimated length of hospital stay. We can help by providing our Sitter Services, during which a caregiver will stay with your loved one so you can get some rest. We can also assist with the transition to home, and making sure they are following the steps recommended by their doctor.
How quickly can service start?
Right away. Senior Helpers is known for our quick-start home care approach, which provides the care you need, when you need it.
Do I have to sign a contract or keep services for a specified period of time?
We do have a standard service agreement that outlines the services that we will provide, which protects you and us. However, you can cancel our service at any time with at least two weeks notice.
Can I make changes to the schedule if I have an appointment?
Absolutely! We just ask that you give us as much notice as possible by calling our office. Any cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to fees.
If I have a problem or question, whom should I contact?
If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to contact our office and speak with a member of our team

Many people want to enhance their physical health and fitness ranges. However, they generally make the excuses that they don't know how or they don't have the time. In this post I outline 3 methods you can put into action health and fitness teaching into your everyday program.
1) Way of life Alter: – 1 of the simplest ways to boost your current health and fitness levels is to make modest, positive modifications to your every day routine. Especially, you need to increase your diet and your physical exercise routine. As I have described, these modifications do not have to be big. If you make little adjustments to your way of life at normal intervals these will soon develop up to turn out to be huge alterations which yield substantial effects.
One way you could alter your consuming habits is by consuming 1 less takeaway a week and substituting this for a more healthy, house cooked meal. Then in the 2nd few days you could develop on this by consuming a salad for lunch when or twice a week. You can alter your exercise routines in a related way. In the initial week use stairs instead of elevators. In week two participate in a thirty minute brisk walk twice a 7 days. As you can see these modest but good life-style changes collectively turn into considerable modifications which can lead to enhanced health and fitness ranges.
2) Health and fitness Gear: – One more fantastic way to boost your physical fitness levels is to carry edge of the huge choice of conditioning gear on the market. When picking physical fitness gear you 1st have to choose what your physical fitness targets are. Do you want to increase your cardiovascular conditioning? If so then a treadmill, rowing machine or physical exercise bike will be most appropriate for you. Do you want to tone and strengthen your muscles? Then free of charge weights and weight devices are what you should be using.
You also will need to think about whether or not you want to buy the physical fitness tools for your self or bring benefit of the health and fitness products at the fitness center. The two have their own unique strengths and disadvantages. Owning your personal health and fitness equipment implies that you can use it whenever you want, inside the comfort of your individual home. Nonetheless, unless you have a lot of storage space and cash you will be unable to purchase the array of tools that a gymnasium can present. The gymnasium can offer you with a huge array of gear for a fairly lower expense. On the other hand, when the gymnasium is total you will have to wait for machines and you will also have to devote time commuting to and from the fitness center.
Whatever you pick with regards to your physical fitness products you need to consider one crucial aspect. Physical fitness gear will help you in your exercise but it will not do it for you. You nevertheless have to set in the time and work that leads to improved upon physical fitness ranges.
3) Physical fitness Coach: – Getting edge of a fitness fitness instructor is a fantastic way to boost your fitness amounts. You can clarify your physical fitness targets to the trainer and then they can show you the greatest way to accomplish them. A health and fitness coach ought to also assist you remain motivated, show you exactly where you are heading wrong and lead you down the right path, generating it far more probably that you will obtain your targets.
When picking a conditioning fitness instructor there are a amount of aspects you must consider. A very good conditioning fitness instructor ought to be ready to offer achievement stories from their past which prove their credentials. You should also search at their qualifications to measure how nicely trained they are. Finally, you need to arrange a meeting with a number of physical fitness trainers and see which kinds match your personality.

Shooting Functions
Assist Functions for Professional Shooting
Manual Ring
The Manual Ring gives you easy, fingertip control over the iris, focus, zoom and exposure settings. You'll find using the ring is a much more intuitive, comfortable, user-friendly process than accessing a menu screen.
Electronic View Finder (EVF)
This extendable 263,424-dot equivalent viewfinder is easy to use and convenient for focusing and other adjustments. The EVF makes it easy to see your shooting scene in bright sunlight that may be difficult to see on the LCD.
Level Gauge
The X920 Series comes with a Level Gauge that visibly assists you to shoot straight, level scenes with horizontal and vertical gauge lines. This function helps correct even slight tilting that is difficult to see with the naked eye.
Creative Control
The X920 Series features four filter effects — Miniature Effect, 8mm Movie, Silent Movie and Time Lapse Recording — to further enhance your creativity. The filter results can be viewed on the LCD while shooting. Easily create impressive videos that match the look and feel of your shooting location or your mood.
(top left) Miniature Effect
This effect defocuses peripheral areas while keeping the focus point sharp and clear making life-size subjects look like a diorama.
(top right) 8 mm Movie
You can record motion pictures with a faded retro effect.
(bottom left) Silent Movie
You can record motion pictures that are similar to black-and-white silent films by lowering the amount of incoming light.
(bottom right) Time Lapse Recording
A scene that moves slowly for a long period of time is recorded frame by frame with an interval, and is recorded as a short time motion picture.
5.1-Ch Surround Sound System
The X920 Series is equipped with multiple electret condenser microphones. These help capture the sound source and distance accurately to get a more 3-dimensional effect. The result is a more realistic sound space that compliments the true-to-life HD images.
(Left) Wide (1x)
Picks up audio from all directions to reproduce a natural, lifelike sound field.
(center) Zoom Mic (12x)
Links the microphones to the lens action. When you zoom in on a subject, the microphones focus on the sound in that same direction.
(right) Focus Mic
Enables the microphones to focus on sounds coming from right in front of you, even when the lens is not zooming.
Wind Noise Canceller
The Wind Noise Canceller automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise, giving you natural sounds with lifelike ambience.
iA (Intelligent Auto) / iA Plus
In the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode, the camera does all the work, leaving you free to compose your shot and capture the moment. This powerful function senses the shooting conditions and automatically adjusts the settings and activates the proper functions to deliver optimal results. In addition, the iA Plus Mode enables you to adjust exposure compensation and white balance by simply touching the button on the LCD.
iA Plus
Easily customize settings without releasing iA mode.
Brightness Control
You can adjust the exposure compensation accurately and easily.
Color Control
You can adjust the white balance from warm red to cool blue.
FULL HD 3D Recording with 3D Conversion Lens
By simply mounting the VW-CLT2 3D Conversion Lens, you can record FULL HD 3D images with the MVC (Multiview Video Coding) recording system of the AVCHD 3D format. Right-eye and left-eye images are both recorded and played in Full-HD quality, using the Frame Sequential Method to produce FULL HD 3D images. This brings all the lifelike ambience of the actual scene right into your living room.
Operation and Usability
3.5-inch Wide LCD
The X920 Series features a 1,152,000-dot 8.8-cm / 3.5-inch wide LCD that allows intuitive fingertip touch-operation. When shooting, you can use Touch Shutter by simply touching your fingertip on the screen. For playback, you can change thumbnail pages by sliding your fingertip across the screen. The result is smooth, intuitive operation without taking your eyes off the action on LCD screen.
Intuitive Touch Operation
Touch Shutter
You can touch the subject on the LCD screen to instantly focus on it and take a still picture.
Touch for Playback
You can flip through thumbnail pages and display one of the thumbnail scenes.
Variety of Interfaces
(Left) Mic and Headphone Terminal
There's a mic input terminal and a headphone jack on the side of the camcorder. You can plug in an external mic or headphones (both optional) if desired.
(Right) Accessory Shoe
Optional accessories can be attached here to increase shooting versatility.

Flu Season Could Be a Bad One
Health officials say flu season has kicked off early across the country particularly across the south and southeast parts of the country.The statistics show the most active beginning to the flu season in the last decade. Texas is one of five states that have already reported high levels of flu activity already this season. Other states reporting problems with influenza include Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee.
Last year the flu got off to a slow start, as compared to the early development this year. Health officials are urging people to get their flu shots now. Babies over six months old and all children and adults should be vaccinated according to health officials. Every year around a quarter of the entire U.S. population gets the flu and an average of 36,000 thousand people die from complications.
There are several strains of the flu going around, but officials say the vaccines manufactured this year seem to be a good match. Experts say the key to avoid the misery is to get the shot

Enhanced Community Values & Other Community Benefits
Traffic Calming
While each location has specific needs and opportunities, the modern roundabout in certain locations have been used to provide traffic-calming effects, and mark community gateways with enhanced aesthetic opportunities.
Roundabouts can also be used to help control excessive vehicle speeds (also known as Traffic Calming): Enforcement of vehicle speeds in residential streets is not cost effective using already stretched police forces. A series of roundabouts will provide effective speed control along residential streets by physically reducing all vehicle speeds.
Traffic signals are a substantial liability for the operating authority. Attorneys often try to prove traffic signals were faulty and therefore the cause of their client's crash. In other words, drivers are not responsible for their behavior because "the traffic signals cause crashes." At a well-designed roundabout, liability for entry collisions rests with the entering driver: the driver failed to yield to the circulating vehicle.
In the other common type of collision, the rear-end, the following driver is at fault for following too closely. At a multi-lane roundabout a merge type crash responsibility rests with the driver who incorrectly changed lanes.
Geometric Flexibility
One main advantage of modern roundabouts is their considerable geometric flexibility. This enables the efficient connection of difficult roadway alignments.
This geometric flexibility is possible due to the slow approach, entering and exit speeds inherent in properly designed modern roundabouts. Conventional signalized intersections do not have such geometric flexibility as higher vehicle speeds require larger centerline radii.

AS you now know, I have been released from the club but just wanted to let you know how very disappointed I am to not be there with you next season and helping to achieve league status, but when you do make promotion, as I really hope you do, I will be gutted all over again for not being there.
Just to clarify the situation regarding signing another contract, I was offered a year, extension, but at the time I wasn't making the first 11 and felt this was a priority at the age of 27, however, the contract wasn't there at the end of the season.
I wanted in a small way to say a big thank you to all the fans, staff and background people including all the volunteers who have supported me along the way.
I can't speak highly enough of the players - true friends. I admire Dale Vince's commitment to the club. Also special thanks and appreciation to Robin Kirby, who very kindly sponsored me for a number of seasons, you're all fantastic.
I have had an amazing five years with Forest Green and met some brilliant people along the way.
I shared many highs and lows over my time with you and I was so very proud to be captain and wear that no 2 shirt.
I played 180 odd games and wanted to become the highest ever appearance maker.
On a personal note, I feel I am leaving on a high having had one of my best seasons, despite playing out of position for the most part.
It has been my privilege and an honour to play for the club and even though I can't be part of that journey, I wish you every success for next season and you will always have a special place in my heart.
With very best wishes, Jared

Price: $ 1,999.99 On Sale: $ 1,599.99
Every moving part on the Aggraziato is now genuine Shimano components. We believe that using only premium Shimano parts lets riders get smooth, consistent, and reliable performance with every part of the bike, assuring maximum compatibility and functionality. The Aggraziato gives you the light, fast Italian bred road bike you would expect from Tommaso's legendary old world craftsmanship. We start this craftsmanship off with our ultra-lightweight Toray 700 Monocoque Carbon compact frame coupled with 22 Shimano Ultegra 6800 equipped speeds. For the Aggraziato, we believe nothing but premium Shimano components will do. From the Ultegra 6800 derailleurs and shifters, to the Ultegra 6800 Hollowtech II crankset, and finishing with the Ultegra 6800 11-32T cassette, we used nothing but Ultegra 6800 to make this drivetrain work with the effortless performance dedicated riders demand. This incredible gearing of 11 speeds on an 11-32T cassette gives you a level of versatility that will forever alter your opinion on climbing those big hills, while giving you the speed to win races on the flats. The upgraded Shimano 105 5800 brakes have the stopping power to allow you to let it fly on the descents with the knowledge that you can stop on a dime. If you are looking for a bike that leaves the competition in the dust, but don't want to sell your car to afford it, then the Tommaso Aggraziato is the bike for you.
The Aggraziato is part of the Tommaso Elite Engineered Carbon Series (EECS) of bikes which are engineered with Tommaso's HCT carbon and the FES (Flex Elimination System) technology. The FES creates a stiffer frame than our competitors can provide, giving you the most control possible over your bike, as well as a higher level of energy efficiency. This combination helps reduce body fatigue and lost efficiency, providing you with the ability to extend your rides to longer distances than you ever thought possible. We are so confident in these bikes, that every Tommaso frame is warrantied for life, so you can ride with confidence.
Why is the Tommaso Aggraziato priced so much lower than the competition? Tommaso has decided that the best way to provide its legions of fans the best bike at the lowest price is to only sell its bikes direct to the consumer. By selling direct, Tommaso has been able to eliminate 2 levels of the supply chain and deliver bikes at a cost of around 40% less than every other major brand. Tommaso feels that it's better to give you this savings than pay companies just to pass the bike along. Check out the Compare tab to see how Tommaso beats the competition.
The Tommaso Aggraziato, like all of the bikes sold by Giantnerd comes with our industry exclusive "Ready to Ride Build" and our "Risk Free 7 Day Test Ride".
Ready to Ride Build: The Ready to Ride Build is simply the best bike build in the industry, period. We do a full 65 point build that allows us to ship you a 99% assembled and fully tuned bike that can go from box to the road in less than 10 minutes.
Risk Free 7 Day Test Ride: Our industry exclusive Risk Free 7 Day Test Ride comes with every bike that is shipped with a Ready to Ride build. This allows you to test the bike for 7 days and if you are not 100% satisfied with your new bike, just ship it back to us and we'll give you a full refund and pay for the return shipping too.
The Tommaso Aggraziato is a race ready ride:

Like the Second World War, started by the Catholic, Adolf Hitler. Or Stalin, brought up and seminary trained as a member of the Russian Orthodox.
the nazis had some twisted ideas of old germanic gods that justified their herrenmenschen philosophy. there was defo a religious approach (also with the swastika from india). nevertheless if you want to be evil, you don't need no religion and if you want to be good, you can do without religion too and vice versa. if religion gives you a personal strength that is good and positive - think about martin luther king or mahatma ghandi or bob marley for that matter - then it can be a strong force in a positive way. there is no black or white truth at the end of the day. i just can't take it when people think they know the absolute truth by following a cretain faith that is supposed to be the real and only faith in their eyes. it would do good if people would look upon religion more as a poetic and cultural element rather than belonging to a superior group - that is mental illness.

The Biology Pre-Professional programs provide students with an opportunity to earn a B.S. in Biology from Felician University and a graduate degree from a number of cooperating professional school programs in the following fields:
- Audiology (Bloomsburg University of PA)
- Chiropractic (NY Chiropractic College)
- Occupational Therapy (Sage Graduate School)
- Physician Assistant (Rutgers-SHRP)
- Physical Therapy (Rutgers-SHRP)
- Podiatry (NY College of Podiatric Medicine)
Upon successful completion of their Felician coursework, students will be able to demonstrate competence in scientific reasoning and quantitative analysis, critical thinking, and written communication, as well as proficiency in application of fundamental principles and laboratory methods in biology and chemistry. Students will also demonstrate an understanding of the ethical challenges and responsibilities of applying scientific knowledge, the relationship of Franciscan values to professional practice, and the potential contributions of science-related professions to human welfare and sustainability.
In most of the pre-professional programs, students take three years of required courses at Felician, with their first year of professional school courses counting toward their fourth year for the B.S. (The exception is Occupational Therapy, which requires a four-year sequence of courses at Felician.) An additional 2-3 years at the professional school is needed for the graduate degree (duration depending on whether a Masters or Doctorate is needed).
Students should declare their intention to pursue a specific articulated program as soon as possible within their first year at Felician to ensure proper scheduling of the correct sequence of courses. Note that each program has a GPA requirement for entry into the cooperating professional school, and may have other qualifications as indicated in the individual program requirements summarized below.
Four Year Plan
In each program, students must achieve a minimum grade of C in all science and math courses.

Rihanna Talks Being Herself and Hanging with Katy Perry in Glamour
On the cover of Glamour's September issue, Rihanna rocks a backless Dolce and Gabbana top, sequined pants and her currently fire engine red hair.
In the issue, the singer opens up about life as a role model for girls and about being friends with fellow pop star Katy Perry.
Since Rihanna first came onto the music scene, she has transformed herself from a Beyonce lookalike to a Caribbean Jessica Rabbit.
As Glamour magazine's September cover girl, shot by Ellen von Unwerth, the pop star discussed the rules her record label made her follow when she was first starting out. She said, "In the beginning of my career, it was really strict for me. I couldn't wear pink or red lipstick; it was just bizarre. We had a young fan base, and they were trying to keep me fresh. But I just really wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all these things that I am."
Rihanna also talked about being BFFs with Katy Perry.
"All my friends are guys, to be completely honest. But when I met her, it was such a breath of fresh air. I just couldn't believe this chick had no edit button. . . . Katy and Lady Gaga came out of the gate exactly the way they think, the way they wanna dress, the way they wanna speak."
The September issue of Glamour magazine goes on sale August 9.

Singer, songwriter, performer, producer, director and actress —is there anything Christina Aguilera hasn't done? One of the most accomplished performers of the last decade, she has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, achieved four #1 singles on the Billboard hot 100 chart, and has won five Grammy Awards, as well as three top five albums in the United States. Aguilera is also the only artist under 30 to make Rolling Stone Magazine's list of 100 greatest singers of all time.
In writer/director Steven Antin's finger-snapping, eye-popping and atmospheric musical "Burlesque," a time-honored tale of showbiz aspirations fulfilled – and the hallmarks of a classic form of live entertainment – get a dazzling, fun movie makeover. For Ali (Christina Aguilera), a small-town girl with a big voice, there had to be somewhere her dreams could be fulfilled, rather than remain an empty goal. Enter the world of burlesque.
MoviesOnline had the pleasure of sitting down with Christina at a round table interview in Los Angeles this weekend to talk about her new film. She told us what it was like to work opposite the legendary Cher, how she approached the challenge of transitioning from one area of show business to another, and what she enjoyed most about playing the character of Ali who, like herself, is inspired by naysayers to keep going after what she wants and not take no for an answer.
CA: (calling her dog) C'mon Stinky! (after running into Cher in the hallway) I'm so excited I got to see her! I haven't seen her for a while. I love it! I'm all dressed up and she's in her boots!
Q: Was this the first time you've seen Cher since the movie?
CA: Maybe. Wow! We've talked on the phone. We've emailed and everything.
Q: So you're keeping in touch?
CA: Uh huh. C'mon Stinky!
[Stinky jumps up on the chair next to her at the table.]
Q: It's a little Lassie. How cute! That's your only dog?
CA: Yeah. He's a Papillon. He's like 12 years old. He's a mama's boy.
Q: He's cute.
CA: Thank you.
Q: Does he travel a lot with you when you're touring?
CA: He does when I do the States. Whenever I travel to Australia, parts of Asia and Europe, I can't take him with me.
Q: You're on tour a lot so you've probably had other chances to do a movie but had to turn down things and say no. What was it about "Burlesque" that made you want to say yes?
CA: There have been a lot of roles and scripts that have come my way but nothing that really inspired me or intrigued me like when "Burlesque" showed up at my door. Just the whole concept of burlesque, I've always been fascinated with it. I've always collected so many books about burlesque. I've been intrigued by the time that it's set in, in the 20's, 30's, 40's and so I knew it was a no brainer for me to be a part of once I met with the team.
Q: There's obviously quite a cinematic element to a lot of your music videos. Does any of that help in preparation for a feature film like this?
CA: No. (Laughs) No, it doesn't actually. Yes, I've been around the block with it before but doing a movie and doing this kind of a movie is a whole different animal. I completely had to throw away everything I knew about anything and approach doing this movie with an open heart, being truly vulnerable, truly naïve as my character is, and open myself up as a newcomer in a whole new way for everything that I did on this movie.
Q: Most singers would say that when you play a song, you can sing a song because you're kind of acting. Would you agree with that?
CA: I lose myself in my performances so I wouldn't say that I ever act on stage. I don't find it to be an acting drill for me. I just find it to be something very real that comes from a very gut-driven, honest place. But definitely in the sense of me trying to portray Ali, I guess you could say I had to throw away any self-expression and really get up into why Ali is feeling this certain way in this particular place in the movie, write it from her perspective, such as "Bound to You" or "Express" or "Burlesque the Finale" that I wrote. So I really had to come from her perspective.
Q: What was the experience like playing opposite Cher?
CA: (Laughs) Unbelievable. I left that movie a completely changed, different person for so many reasons but a lot of it did have to do with Cher and what I learned from her – just on all counts – as a person, both personally and professionally, the way she has such a tranquil, calm, loving energy when she enters a room but still is such a presence, the way she works, the way she allows herself the freedom to throw the dialogue out the window and just go on a tangent and let things feel real and natural in front of the camera gave me priceless information that I'll cherish forever but yeah, she's just one of the most amazing people I've ever met.
Q: What about the scene where Cher does your make-up for you while she tells you a story? How was that experience?
CA: That was a very interesting day because of what was happening on camera and what was happening off camera. I was getting my make-up done, yes, by Cher on camera. That was a real story that she told from her own childhood. It was very sweet. We were bonding almost in a maternal way on camera but behind the scenes we were like old, chatty girlfriends that could not stop talking and they actually had to drag us to set a few times because we were late just talking, talking about love and relationships in life on a personal level. So, it was a girlfriend moment and a mother-daughter moment on screen.
Q: Your character comes along like the new girl in town, do you think Lady Gaga is like that in real life? Is there any kind of competition there?
CA: No, no, no. We're two completely different women, but I can respect her work ethic.
Q: Is there a prejudice against people making it from one area of show business to another? Cher obviously did it in three different areas. You talked about making this choice, how do you react when people say "No, you can't do that"?
CA: No one was saying I can't do that. I knew that there are many people that make the transition and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Cher is the perfect example of someone that it does work with. I've always been inspired even more by any naysayers to keep going for what I really want and they've almost been my inspiration many times more so than any positive people around me to conquer. But yeah, you have your reservations and your fears, but like Ali does, she just kicks in the door, doesn't take no for an answer and goes for it.
Q: What do you like most about Ali and to what extent did you connect with her?
CA: I liked her drive. I liked her passion. I loved the way she wouldn't take no for an answer – not from Jack, not from Tess, Cher's character – how she steps up to the plate whenever Kristen (Bell) pulls the mic out and just goes for it. In many ways, I would do the same in that kind of a situation. I'm a go getter and I don't stop until I get what I want in the most positive way.
Q: How much of your personal life is reflected in your songs?
CA: In the movie or in real life?
Q: Either.
CA: A lot, a great deal. It's all motivated by personal emotions and stories and feelings. I think that's the best way you can get honesty across in your music to connect and relate to people.
Q: Have you written a song for your son?
CA: I did. On my last record, "Bionic," I wrote a song called "All I Need" for him.
Q: How do you balance motherhood with your personal life, movies and singing?
CA: It's a juggling act. It's really hard. Today he actually has a little fever and he's a little sick and it just breaks my heart I can't be with him. But I think one day he'll be able to look back at my body of work and feel proud of it and hopefully it'll motivate him to then be an individual himself and really go for what he wants out of life.
Q: Does he have a favorite song or does he spark to something that you play for him?
CA: Yeah, there's a song on the sound track actually that's called "Beautiful People" and he really loves that song. He was there in the studio while I was recording it and he's like "Put on 'Beautiful People.'" He loves the song.
Q: Do you think he's going to become a singer like you?
CA: Who knows? I mean, he's musically inclined. I can tell. But he's so smart and such a character. I could see him doing something in the entertainment business.
Q: What was the biggest thing you learned about acting in the movie?
CA: The biggest lesson learned? Oh, so many! How to stay focused and keep every moment as real as possible when you have to go in and repeat it over and over, especially for a crying scene. It's really hard to find the motivation over and over again to create those tears. I found it very dark and depressing on those days because I had to revert back to memories that weren't so nice from my childhood and really go there and feel them in a way that I don't care to feel on a daily basis.
Q: Do you have any respect for actors who get into these really dark roles?
CA: Absolutely. But it's intriguing though for me to go to that place. I don't know, sometimes dark and depressing can be a comfort zone for me. (Laughs)
Q: It's clear that you've been really excited about this project. Now that it's finished, can we expect to see you doing more films?
CA: Yeah, I look forward to doing more films. Yes. One thing at a time, but over the holidays I'm actually looking forward to reading the scripts that have been coming in and figuring out what the next plan of action is.
Q: Would that be another musical?
CA: Not necessarily. No, not at all. I wouldn't even mind doing a small independent film, just the sky is the limit.
Q: A lot of musical performers are often apprehensive to go into a film project when music is involved. Were you conscious of that?
CA: Yes. Absolutely. I actually didn't want to do my first film as a musical because I did want to be seen in a different light. If I was going to go there, I really wanted to go there in a different way. But the fact that Burlesque as a concept is so different than what I do and Ali has a different story and such an inspiring one, I really could relate and I really wanted to interpret her in a fresh way.
Q: I really like the choreography. It's a different kind of dance than you usually do in your music. Was it hard to adjust to that and sing at the same time?
CA: Well I always say I never danced before in my life until I did the movie. It was intense. It was intense dance rehearsals and I'm a vocalist first so I'd never spent so much time perfecting moves and everything because they always surrounded me holding a mic and being on stage and working my mouth first. But everything full circle came into focusing on my body and my movement and critiquing the dance as far as the technical aspect. The choreographers on this musical were amazing. They were so incredibly talented and I was so blessed to have worked with them. I'll definitely take what I learned from the movie and incorporate it in my own things that I do in my own work.
Q: Do you have a favorite outfit from the film? Your character changed into so many different wigs and costumes.
CA: I love the "I'm a Good Girl" outfit — the one with the crystallized bra piece and the feathered bustle. I thought that married and tied in with the song perfectly – very flirtatious, very coy, playful and fun. It's the first time she sees herself in a wig so it was a really cool moment for Ali, I think.
Q: What type of music and movies do you like to listen to and watch in real life and what about musicals?
CA: Everything. I mean I'm very eclectic in what I like and what I listen to. Musicals? My favorite musical ever is "The Sound of Music." That was actually one that inspired me to sing. I love "Meet Me in St. Louis" with Judy Garland. What else do I like? I like old soul blues and jazz. I like rock. I love John Lennon. I love Etta James, Billie Holiday, Marlene Dietrich.
Q: You have a unique singing style. Was there ever a time when somebody said "Maybe we can change that and make that a little bit different"?
CA: Yeah, for sure. When I got my first record deal, I was 17 years old. There was a big pop explosion going on at the time and there was a specific sound on the radio and it definitely wasn't an Etta James style of singing or an old soul, bluesy style which is what I'm inspired by first and foremost at the heart and at the root of what I do. So I went in to get my record deal. I landed it, but then when I started recording my record, Ron Fair was actually like "We need to tone you down. There's too many ad libs. There's too much riffing. You sound too powerful. It's just too much." I'm sitting there about to cry like this is just the way I sing and it was definitely a turning point for me or not a great moment for me just because it was really hard. That was just the way I sang. That was my voice. And years later, he actually called me and apologized because he said "I just watched your biography and I was looking at old footage of you when you were like 7 or 8 years old and you still had that voice and you were still ad libbing like that and sounding the way you did when you were 17. I always thought you were just putting on a show for me extra because you'd just got a record deal and you were trying to do too much. That's just the way you sang. I'm sorry. (Laughs)
Q: Do you have friends or family that expects you to sing all the time and say to you "C'mon, sing something"?
CA: In school that used to happen a lot. They'd get me to sing and then they'd hate me for it.
Q: You do a lot of firsts in this movie. What about the love scene. Was that a little nerve wracking?
CA: Yeah. Of course, there can be awkward moments with that. But me and Cam (Gigandet) have a very funny, playful, teasing sort of relationship with each other that we can kind of have a laugh about it and get lost in the moment. Plus, it's very unsexy when there's a zillion people looking at you.
Q: You mentioned you had a great experience with Cher. What stands out in your mind? What did you guys talk about?
CA: Well, one thing that she said that was really, really funny that's her own quote is "You know, honey, husbands come and go but I'm still Cher at the end of the day."
"Burlesque" opens in theaters on November 24th.

Research Highlights

Novel Indicators of Oxidative Stress in Disease
Proteomics study offers clues to how diseases such as Parkinson's progress
Xu Zhang
Results: Scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the UCLA School of Medicine have produced the first proteome survey of tyrosine modifications in mouse brain and heart tissues. The research team studied two oxidative modifications of the amino acid tyrosine (3, 4- dihydroxyphenylalanine [DOPA] and Dopaquinone) to examine a possible link to human diseases including Parkinson's disease, atherosclerosis, myocardial disease, and cataracts.
DOPA is a sensitive biomarker of neurological and cardiovascular diseases, and site-specific information on these modifications may lay the groundwork for enhanced prevention and treatment. The detailed results of this study may help establish more sensitive biomarkers for disease pathologies; they also complement current biomarkers by helping distinguish inflammatory from non-inflammatory physiological states.
Why It Matters: More accurate disease biomarkers open the door to earlier detection, more effective prevention, and better treatment. Oxidative modifications of amino acids such as tyrosine are often very low in abundance within complex proteomes, making it difficult to confidently identify and track them. In addition, while elevated DOPA levels have been linked to disease, the specific proteins DOPA modifies have not been identified or studied. Recent advances in proteomics—including higher resolution mass spectrometry—have made it possible to overcome the hurdles.
Methods: Using the world-class proteomics capabilities, at the Department of Energy's EMSL and two PNNL-developed software programs, the scientists performed a global proteomics survey of DOPA/Dopaquinone modifications on protein tyrosines.
Two post-translational modifications mediated by hydroxyl radical on protein tyrosine residue serve as novel markers of oxidative stress.
The results offer underlying, site-specific clues to how diseases progress. Specifically, the study showed that DOPA/Dopaquinone modifications serve as novel mitochondrially derived oxidative stress markers, where they may disrupt mitochondrial respiration and alter signaling pathways in brain tissue. Mitochondria are the power plants of cells, generating adenosine triphosphate as a source of chemical energy.
In addition to providing a useful model of how to apply advances in proteomics to the study of disease biomarkers, the team identified 85 unique tyrosine sites with DOPA modifications-a dataset that will allow vital insights on how these modifications affect cellular components and signaling pathways.

the avanti group review articles, G20 could step up fight against tax evasion
WASHINGTON: The Group of 20 leading economies could step up the battle against tax evasion using offshore accounts in its meetings on Thursday and Friday, officials said.
The G20 is expected to weigh endorsing a global effort to force banks to automatically share information with countries seeking to tax their nationals holding secret offshore accounts — an effort that could deal a blow to tax havens like the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Switzerland and others.
It remained unclear how far the G20 will go. At least the United States and France are said to be hoping for a strong endorsement.
But even continued discussion will confirm how far a once-disdained effort by the United States alone to collect taxes on US nationals' offshore accounts has expanded and gained support among other major economies, especially those facing large holes in their budgets.
"The issue is to go as far as possible," said one European official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

'Star Wars Rebels' Preview: Join the Empire with New Propaganda Posters!
'Star Wars' forthcoming animated series 'Star Wars Rebels' has been keeping pretty coy with its character and plot specifics, though at least one overarching theme has been inescapable: The Empire is everywhere! A new round of promotional posters for the buzzworthy new series have emerged, tasking the galaxy's finest to join up and serve on the imperial side.
Released through various outlets throughout the web, the newest round of 'Star Wars Rebels' posters closely adhere to the propaganda style that marked some of the early promotional art for the series, this time incorporating specific figures like the villainous Inquisitor, and the planet Lothal -- which we know to be a central location for our mysterious band of heroes. If nothing else, we're just thrilled to see some of the classic designs in play!
Here's everything we know from the official 'Star Wars Rebels' logline:
'Star Wars Rebels' continues the epic tradition of the legendary 'Star Wars' saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people.
But there are a select few who are brave enough to stand up against the endless Stormtroopers and TIE fighters of the Empire: the clever and motley crew of the starship "Ghost." Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, have thrilling adventures, and become heroes.
We've already met the crew's feisty droid "Chopper," and learned a few details from the LEGO packaging, but no voice cast has been made official. That said, we previously heard Freddie Prinze Jr., 'The Butler' star David Oyelowo, Vanessa Marshall, Taylor Gray and Steven Jay Blum were at least on the short list. Picking up where the now-canceled 'Clone Wars' left off, 'Star Wars Rebels' will also feature on the creative side screenwriter and producer Simon Kinberg ('X-Men: First Class,' 'Elysium'), who's writing the first episode.
Take a look at the latest 'Star Wars Rebels' propaganda posters below, and tell us in the comments what you want to see next from the 2014 premiere series!

Swaying palm trees, golden-yellow sandy beaches and a tropical blue sea: these are not the first images that spring to mind when thinking about China. After all, China is not a beach holiday destination. At least, that's what lots of visitors think – yet nothing could be further from the truth.
Depending on how you measure it, China's jagged coastline extends between 14,000 and 30,000 km. Here you will find countless beaches, ranging from the northern beaches close to the capital of Beijing to the tropical snorkelling paradises of the South China Sea. So don't forget to pack your swimsuit!
There are many secluded beaches around Dalian in the north-east, often between impressive rock formations. This is a lovely place to come and relax when visiting Qingdao, a metropolis on the other side of the water. The most beautiful beach in Dalian is Bangchuidao. Just the way there is well worth the journey as the surrounding hills are full of cypress and pine trees. When you arrive, you will see a remarkably clean beach which faces a deserted island, an easy swimming distance from the coast. The hotel of the same name, in the corner of the bay, is equally as romantic as its surroundings.
Macau was the first and last Portuguese colony in East Asia. The archipelago has become a famous holiday destination, mainly because of its casinos and Portuguese heritage. Macau is a city of Mediterranean avenues, cathedrals and fortresses, which often still feels distinctly Portuguese. The southernmost of the three islands, Coloane, is also the quietest. There are two beaches here at the foot of the Alto de Coloane. The golden sands of Cheoc Van invite sun worshippers, while the black sand of the slightly more distant Hac Sa is somewhat less photogenic but still very popular – especially thanks to the many beach bars situated along its 4-kilometre stretch. This is also the location of Restaurante Fernando, a seafood restaurant with the best views of Macau. What more could you ask for?
Hainan Island is the southernmost part of China. It is at more or less the same latitude as the islands of Hawaii, which it bears a small resemblance to. Sanya, a city on the south side of the island, is known for having the only true tropical beaches in China and coconut trees grow in what is perhaps the whitest sand in the country. The bays of Dadonghai and Yalong are home to resorts so luxurious that some beach villas have their own pools. If you opt to explore the South China Sea with a snorkel, you'll discover a wonderful undersea world of red coral, tropical fish, marvellous seashells and huge turtles.

Everyone is entitled to love and be loved.
Without love, the world can be and is a lonely place.
For Chad & Alex, it may not have been the easiest road for them to plan their wedding. From hiring a florist or finding a venue, even just being in their own relationship – it wasn't easy. You see, Chad & Alex are gay. However, with the help & love of the people close to them, they were able to plan their wedding. Although the state of Minnesota does not legally recognize the marriage, their Jewish faith does.
And that was very important to them both.
Their wedding was the first same-sex commitment ceremony held inside of a Conservative Jewish synagogue in Minnesota. With the help of their Rabbi, who took all of the correct steps to have the ceremony approved by the Temple of Aaron synagogue, their dream of having their love recognized became a reality. It couldn't have happened on a better date too, October 10th, 2010 – the same date as the 100 anniversary celebration of the synagogue.
A Jewish wedding is very symbolic and beautiful. For example, the ceremony takes place under a Chupah, a canopy on four poles. It symbolizes creating a home together which is always open to guests…

This site dates to May 2002. Since then, we have revamped its look twice and have updated its functionality on one or two additional occasions. For a while now, we have been working on a major renovation. Well, to be more accurate, Joe Malchow has been working on it. The rest of us have weighed in, mostly on aesthetic issues, over the last few days.
Some time in the next 48 hours, we will unveil a new Power Line web site. It will be different in a number of ways. We are switching from Movable Type to Word Press. We are getting a lot more content above the fold. We are adding a links section to take you to interesting news stories or commentary. Most important, we will leave behind the blog format that got us started and has sustained us for nearly a decade.
We think you will like the new look, but if you don't, we will include a switch that allows you to view the site in a more traditional format. As always, when we make changes it is not for the sake of change–we are, as you might imagine, biased toward the old, the familiar, and the already successful–but rather in order to make our site more fun and more effective for more people.
So, stay tuned!
