AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to develop an oxygen sensor for monitoring explosive mixtures in the head space (ullage) of an aircraft fuel tank. This sensor integrates technological advancements in micro-electronics such as digital signal processors, new vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, high sensitivity absorption spectroscopy, and the development of innovative shields to prevent liquid interferences of optical surfaces. The sensor is expected to detect oxygen concentrations between 5 to 21 percent at a rate of one sample per second, and to perform in conditions where the temperature range is -70 to 120 F and the pressure range is 100 to 760 Torr. The proposed sensor system will be initially compatible for aircraft fuel tanks and later modified for oil tankers and other potential applications. The successful completion of this program will lead to a rugged and miniaturized oxygen sensor system that is compatible with aircraft fuel tanks. Commercial and military aircraft will greatly benefit from this sensor since it increases their survivability. In addition, the sensor can monitor fuel tanks in oil tankers to prevent oil spillage due to explosions.

Hi Mamas, My ds is 21 months old. We have co-slept since he was born and we are still bf-ing. For the first 16 months our nighttime pattern was nursing on the couch around 7:30 and then he would go into a swing and sleep until dh and I went to bed around 11. He outgrew the swing so we began putting him into a pack and play which worked occasionally. If he was finished nursing but not yet asleep I would pass him over to Dada who would bounce him to sleep on his knee and then move him into the pack and play.
Lately we settle down to nurse and he will nurse for about 5 minutes and want to switch to the other side and then after another 5 minutes or so will ask to sit with Dada. Then he fights Dada to get down and run around. If we put him into the pack and play he screams and immediately throws up. He has a crazy gag reflex and throws up very easily. DH and I are both exhausted at this time of day and a few times we have just let him get down and he is up until 10:30 or 11, or we just give up and go to bed early which means we have no time to unwind or be alone.
When we do go upstairs to bed he will sometimes fight us to stay in bed. Most nights this doesn't last and he will eventually fall asleep after another nursing and will sleep until about 6:or 6:30 when he asks for milk and will stay in bed and snooze until about 7:30.
We have tried all 3 of us going upstairs at 7:30 or 8 and doing the whole nighttime routine in bed and then sneaking out, but he will only stay asleep for an hour. My biggest issue is that I don't want to have to do the nighttime routine alone. I parent alone 12 hours a day, I don't want to be alone for another hour while I try to get ds to sleep. To add another level to the confusion, my DH doesn't get home from work until 7:30, so every night we need to decide if we want to eat with ds awake, or hope he goes to sleep and we eat then. Sometimes we end up eating at 9 or later which isn't good for us.
We feel like we are not in control of the situation, but also don't want to be forced into a CIO situation (plus our neighbors would not be happy with that). After looking through other posts in this forum, I will definitely start setting a morning alarm, and keep naps earlier in the day, like before 3pm. What else can you suggest? We are in need of advice and support. Thanks so much!!
Prepare yourself for maybe more information than you wanted:
I want to be clear about what you want: you still want to be in a co-sleeping situation, but you want bedtime to be an easier process?
Sleep issues are the worst, because when when you're tired you can really start to feel like you're losing control of who you want to be as a parent. When my daughter was having problems going to sleep, there were so many times that I thought, "I don't know how our family is going to survive this!" Now, happily being on the other side of this hill, I look back almost with a hazy amnesia. I assure you, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We were a co-sleeping family and never did CIO and now my 27 month old goes to sleep in minutes and for naptime will read quietly for a few minutes to herself before rolling over to go to sleep.
So, some things that might help from my bag of tricks:
Just like you have a breastfeeding relationship with your son, you have a sleep relationship with him, and everyone's opinions need to be heard. I would examine your situation to see if co-sleeping at night is still the optimal situation for you. It may be that after not seeing your dh all day and not having alone time, you need for your sanity (and for your ability to be a happy mom the next morning) to have some pillow talk time at night just the two of you. With the frequent waking and wanting to be awake while you're awake, your son may also be indicating that he might be ready for solo sleeping. In my family, I found that dd started to sleep better in her own bed. She started to think about bedtime as being time just for her, that night time is for sleeping and not for interacting with us. Eventually she even understood the fact that mommy and daddy have things to do after she goes to bed. I can say, "Good night. Mommy needs to go do laundry, but I'll check on you later," and she's fine with that. This did take time, and she is 6 months older than your ds. We did have to get to this point.
For a long time, we had to sneak out of the room with dd. Or if she was nursing to sleep, I would have to unlatch once she was completely asleep and then tip toe away from the bed, praying she wouldn't wake up. I realized that sneaking out of the room defeats the idea of getting her to fall asleep easier, because then if she did awake, not only was she awake, but she was angry that I wasn't where she wanted me to be. So, the goal because to be able to leave the room while she was still awake and a big portion of this was not nursing to sleep.
I read The No-Cry Nap Solution Book, which has a lot of the same ideas as the No-Cry Sleep Solution Book. It touted the importance of routine, routine, routine, and that has certainly worked with us. I started by being stricter about what time she was going to head to bed every night. Then, I made sure to have a bit of a routine so it just wasn't nursing to sleep. The book pointed out that if you only nurse to sleep that nursing is both the sleep aide and the sleep time indicator.
To start our routine, we do diaper change and pajamas then we brush her teeth and wash her face. In the beginning, I would read her two books in bed then I started to nurse her while I sang three songs. During these three songs, I didn't care if she was kicking the covers or rolling around; she can do whatever she wants to get herself in a mood to sleep, and I don't allow myself to become frustrated during this time that she isn't sleeping. Once the three songs are up, then I do expect her to settle down, and if she starts to crawl or sit up, I ask her to lie down. She's usually pretty quiet by this time though.
In the beginning when we started the routine, I would rub her back during this quiet time while she nursed until she fell asleep. After a few days of doing this routine, after the three songs, she would just roll over and go to sleep. After a month and half, she wouldn't wait that long. Then, I started to read a story or two, maybe sing one song in while she's nursing, then she would roll over to go to sleep or to let me rub her back asleep. A few weeks later, she even let other people put her down to sleep by just singing and rubbing her back (and not just with Daddy either, with visiting grandparents and a family friend).
I eventually modified this routine so that we were nursing less by instituting a nursing count down. Once we got to only nursing for ten seconds, it wasn't that important of a part of our routine, and Dad could do bedtime all of the time. If your ds and you still want to nurse before bed, maybe you could do that downstairs before dh takes him up for bedtime. (You can get dh to take over bedtime by having him gradually adopt each step: "Tonight, Daddy's going to brush your teeth." "Tonight, Daddy's going to read your stories.")
Sorry to skip around so much, but my mind is a bit crazy with two kids to deal with, so, back to sneaking out. The book had good advice about this. It recommended that once you get to where your child is happy somewhat falling asleep without nursing, then you start the end of your routine next to them (for us, this would be singing), then you gradually move further away over a period of time until you are eventually outside of the door. This took a while for us--it's certainly a process--but we can now sing a song on our way out of her room. And now, if she calls to us after we're gone, she's accept it if we call up to her to close her eyes. She's also to a point where she can talk to herself for a few minutes before falling asleep.
We still have some nights where bedtime is rough and my dh will need to lie next to her for her to fall asleep, but these nights are few and far between. Building a solid routine that gradually put the focus on her falling asleep unaided was what really helped us. Now that we're over sleep issues, I feel so much better about her, my parenting ability, and our future as a family. She's only six months older than your ds (and has been doing this for a few months), so there is a light at the end of your tunnel that is just around the corner.
I hope something in this mess was helpful.
Thank you so much. That was a really great reply. I think that we still really do love co-sleeping because it's important for me to wake from a birth nightmare and have him there with me. It does not interfere with our marriage or sexual relationship at this point.
I think building a routine is where we should start. I think that the part that frustrates me the most is that by the time it's bedtime I am ready for some co-parenting and while I am still nursing it appears that a lot of the bedtime routine is on me. At least until I can start subbing dh in like you recommended. I need to think of this as a process rather than a quick fix. I will get to work on this tonight! Thanks for giving me some of your time, it is much appreciated.
Anyway, as I read your post, I was wondering about naps. Does he always take them? I'm certainly not advocating dropping naps, but I have seen with my DS (3 1/2) that if he sleeps at all during the day, he'll be up until midnight. Very exhausting. Also if he's hungry, he cannot fall asleep. So now when he's squirmy in bed and not falling asleep easily, I offer him a sack and that usually really helps. It also sounds like he's wanting some playtime with your DH. Since he gets home late, it throws off your sleep timing.
So those are just some things I've noticed here that may be of help to you to consider. Good luck!

Certificate of Appreciation presented to Private Adam Duncan Waugh for his service in World War I. Included on the certificate is a photograph of Waugh in uniform, the year of his enlistment and the colours of the 38th Battalion.
Waugh was 20 one years old when he enlisted on 1 May 1916. Prior to his enlistment Waugh had worked for three years as a coach builder in Kangaroo Flat, Victoria. Waugh served with the 38th Battalion in France as part of the 3rd Reinforcements until February 27, 1917 when he was wounded in the upper right arm, resulting in a compound fracture of his humerus. He was sent to a hospital in England and subsequently returned to Australia where he was discharged on 28 January 1918.
Waugh received the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
Physical Description
Framed and glazed certificate depicting a print of an armed serviceman shown from the side and advancing towards the right. Leaves and red dots form a border around an inscription that identifies the serviceman who received the certificate, the year of his enlistment and commemorates his service. In the bottom right corner is a mounted portrait of a serviceman (presumably the one referred to in the inscription), also framed by a leaf pattern. The colours of the 38th Battalion form the centrepiece of the border along the top of the certificate. The years 1914 and 1918 along with the phrase "The World War" is shown along the top of the certificate, above the border. Plain wooden frame with a simple relief reminiscent of a string of beads.

The camera also features the motion detection function from the last line-up, which automatically recognises if the subject Is moving and sets the appropriate the ISO speed and shutter. Similarly the shake detection counteracts the camera shake caused by slow shutter speeds or low light photography.
In terms of low light the camera offers a user selectable range covering ISO 100-1600, while in high sensitivity mode the range covers an impressive ISO 400-6400, set automatically by the camera.
The latest addition to the Intelligent auto technologies is Quick AF, which kick starts the auto focus as soon as the camera is pointed at the subject, instead of pressing the shutter halfway. This reduces shutter delay and enables faster shooting reaction times.
This speed is further enhanced thanks to the fast processing of the new Venus Engine which offers 2.5 frames per second shooting at maximum image size, over 3 frames, or 5 frames in basic JPEG mode. Reducing the image size speeds up this process even more, at 2MP for example the camera offers 6fps for the capacity of the card, depending on the speed of your memory card.
The FS5 has several playback functions, either via the 2.5inch LCD screen or via an HD TV, including widescreen viewing (when images are shot in 16:9 widescreen mode) along with a new slideshow function in which music can be added.
The intelligent LCD function automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to match that of the ambient light, making, according to Panasonic easier viewing of images whether in bright light or darkened rooms.
Panasonic is one of the major battery manufacturers in Japan and the Lithium Ion battery included with the FS5 is said to offer an average of up to 280 pictures before needing recharging, though this is variable depending on flash and LCD usage. The company is also one of the founders of th Secure Digital media format, so the camera accepts both SD and SDHC media, as well as the older MMC cards. There's also 50MB of internal memory should you fill your memory card.

I recently bought this camera due to many positive reviews on other sites and on this one, and I have to say that I am very dissapointed with the camera. My previous Camera was an Advent MP8 (PC world/Currys own Brand) and the Advent camera produces images of far superior quality to this Panasonic. There are also other flaws with the Panasonic that I was not expecting, movies are created in quicktime (Why not Divx or other windows media viewer formats?)
The camera often fails to focus correctly on faces, especially indoors, whilst outdoor images lack detail, even with the lowest ISO100 setting. (a lower setting would be better for bright days)
The camera also requires the battery to be removed from the cemera to be charged, which is a pain.
In the end I returned the camera and got a refund. I am looking to replace with a different make of camera.
On the contrary, I'm very satisfied with my new Lumix FS5.
The battery charger is small, and it's really not that much job removing the battery from its slot. The battery also lasts quite a while, longer than I'd expected. The pictures are of (what I would call) high quality. As it is a 10 mpx camera, you can't expect more than the FS5 delivers.
To not miss any details when fx. outdoors, using the different scenery modes in different circumstances works out just about flawlessly. The camera is also stuffed with other modes, such as the High-speed burst mode (which I, as a 16-year-old find amusing when taking pictures in ie. a volleyball match).
The movies should indeed not be saved in QuickTime-format, but converting the movies isn't that hard, really. Also, if you're going to record film, using a digital still-image camera isn't the best choice in the first place.
After much online searching, was leaning towards the FS5 - only to find out they're discontinuing it here (NZ) and replacing with the FS12. Struggling to find any reviews on the FS12. Anyone aware of it? Should go for it without the insight of other buyers' opinions? (alternative on the shortlist is the Canon A2000IS)? {Do the reviewers have any upcoming reviews maybe or is this not going to be on offer to the UK market?}. Many thanks.
I've used the DMC-FS5 for a 'sketchbook'; excellent for slipping into the handbag or pocket. While it may not produce exhibition quality work, it has been a great workhorse all around. Sadly, a black sooty spot has developed on the LCD, after 8 months of use and not sure how to get rid of it. Anyone who knows please send advice...thanks.
I just got this cam (2 months) from my dad who's buying a new and more expensive cam. I like it very much this far, and I love the colours it captures on a pic. It's small, but not TO small,, I look forward to the winter and snow, to try it then.
Also today I'mgoing to visit a place where they got HUGE star telescope, and I'll try to take some pics into that :-)
And as Martin sayin his comment, it's just not right to complain about the video format, because it's made to take pics, not make movies. And in any case, if you just know a little bit about what you're doing, converting them to DivX or Xvid is very easy.
As for T.MILLER and the black spot on the LCD, you don't say how big it is, but it's my guess that it's just a dead pixel or two. You cannot do anything about that, but the warranty say something about how many dead pixels there can be before they change the screen for free. But if it'sreally in the way for your photographing, take it back to the shop, and baybe they'll do it for you for free.

When politicians declare that a serious case review is "rubbish", as sources close to the education secretary, Michael Gove, did in the horrific Hamzah Khan case, you can be sure they have an agenda. "Never let a child protection tragedy go to waste," may be the cynical unwritten rule.
Labour's Ed Balls, when he had Gove's job in 2008, did this when the Sun had turned the Baby Peter case into a national social work crisis. Balls declared that the original Haringey serious case review into the case was "inadequate". It later transpired that his officials had seen it well before it was published and raised no objections.
Balls's intervention was essentially defensive. He had to divert attention from Labour's expensive child protection reforms, which were supposed to prevent the very failures that the Haringey SCR described. And he also had to justify the very public removal of Sharon Shoesmith, Haringey's director of children's services.
According to sources at Bradford, the first they knew that Gove considered the Hamzah Khan SCR report to be "risible" was when they heard from journalists on the morning of the report's publication.
Two days earlier the report had been discussed with Department for Education (DfE) officials, they claim, and no red flags had been raised.
The children's minister, Edward Timpson published a fierce letter to the Bradford safeguarding board (which published the SCR) on Wednesday setting out 10 questions-that-must-be-answered in the SCR report. According to Bradford, the same questions had been previously raised by DfE officials, and answers supplied.
The Gove intervention, Bradford believes, is opportunistic and clearly "political".
If Balls' motivations had been defensive, Gove's intentions were aggressively offensive; designed, say observers, to advance an ideological agenda that holds that current national child protection arrangements are inadequate, and in need of a fundamental overhaul. He has plans to change the way social workers are trained (they are too hamstrung by "dogma", too reluctant to take at-risk kids into care). He wants social work provision to be outsourced to private social work firms (councils are too bureaucratic) and local safeguarding boards to be reformed (the head of Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw, recently described the boards as "not really worthy of the name").
Gove may argue that his department's rubbishing of the Bradford SCR is genuine. But he has form. Back in 2008, as shadow children's secretary, Gove was one of a handful of people allowed to read the then-unpublished Baby Peter SCR that Balls declared to be inadequate. Gove heaped praise on the report, which had been overseen by Shoesmith, calling it "a manual for how to improve children's services". Less than two years later, and now in power, Gove's view changed: he endorsed the rewritten Haringey SCR ordered by Balls. The original SCR was officially discredited as "insufficiently critical and insufficiently thorough". Is the Hamsah Khan SCR rubbish? The opinion of politicians is never the most trustworthy guide.

Test of time
I was greatly cheered by Shirley Williams's article, which made plain her opposition to the current over-direction of school teaching by the government and of judgment by external testing (The winnowing out of happiness, 3 March).
Williams was the secretary of state for education during my period as chief inspector for primary education. Her 1977 green paper said: "League tables of school performance based on examination or standardised test results in isolation can be seriously misleading because they fail to take account of other important factors such as the wide difference between school catchment areas."
That document was written, as she points out, when we HMIs were involved in discussion within her ministry. Of course, similar HMI advice goes back much further. When Matthew Arnold was an HMI, he and his colleagues had to carry out the testing, and school grants depended on the results. His 1867 report notes the fall, during the years of testing, in "intelligence, spirit and inventiveness" in teaching. "In the game of mechanical contrivances [ie testing]", he tells us, "the teacher will in the end beat us ... by ingenious preparation."
Norman Thomas

• It was a joy to read Shirley Williams. Our leaders are at last beginning to recognise that whereas constantly measuring the growth of a seedling does no harm, persistent measuring of a child's educational development can actually stunt it. However, a second lesson still to be learned is that schooling must not be regarded as a mere preparation for work. A third is that a school is not just a nice building equipped with electronic wizardry and labelled "academy" but a product of the society that surrounds it and to which it is directly responsible.
Gerry Abbott
More choice of teachers?
Peter Mortimore is right to issue his reminder that the best teachers display a rare and diverse range of skills (Do career-changers make good teachers? 3 March). The economic downturn has excited many educationists and parents in its potential to divert bright minds from the glamour of the City into the teaching profession. Yet we must not allow the novelty of the new applicants to cloud our quality control.
At Teach First our premise has never been that the most academically intelligent will necessarily be the best teachers. Rather, we have sought to emphasise the aspects of the profession that will entice the academically able and ambitious to explore teaching as an option - namely the formidable skill set that Mortimore mentions.
Selecting participants from applicants is a different matter: our assessment centres test applicants against eight core competencies, ranging from humility, respect and empathy, to planning and organising, to resilience and self-evaluation, as well as subject knowledge.
The chief advantage of the economic downturn and the rising status of teaching as a profession is that it widens the field from which teacher training providers and schools can choose. Our response should be to ensure that the very best teachers among them make it into the classroom.

Director of graduate recruitment Teach First, London E14
Learn as you earn
Like many others, I was very fortunate to learn from a series of great general managers across manufacturing - particularly at Unilever - and they all subscribed to a simple principle: everyone in their business should engage in some form of learning, both at work and in their own time (Hasta la vista, Denham, 3 March). No matter what was being learned, it all contributed to developing the person, and their ability to learn and change. During the recession, this principle should be adopted across all further education colleges, universities and workplaces so that every one of us can engage, and start to take charge of our future.

Friday, Aug. 31 will be a busy day in the Starke Circuit Court as at least two heated court cases proceed to their initial hearing before Judge Kim Hall.
Former Knox High School Basketball Coach Todd Boldry will appear for his initial hearing at 9 a.m., where he faces charges of Child Seduction and Official Misconduct as Class D felonies. Starke County Prosecutor Nick Bourff says each of those counts carry a sentence between six months and three years, as well as up to a $10,000 fine. Boldry was arrested on school grounds Friday amidst allegations of sexual misconduct with a student that occurred as early as 2007.

You see, I used to walk home from school past this pub where there were always building workers going in. Sometimes I'd stop at the site and peer through the chain link fence. I was fascinated by it - noise, great big machines, trucks and cranes - and every day there'd be a bit more built on: bigger slabs of concrete or higher brick walls.
And then the noise would stop and the builders would walk up to The Alma, and I would look at their white boots and wonder. It was lime, of course, and concrete bleached in the sun, but I didn't know that; I thought they were special white building boots.
Children are fascinated by building. They love playing with wooden bricks and Lego and pil-ing things on top of each other; they make tree houses and dens in the garden; even a cardboard grocery box can make a house or castle that will keep a kid happy for hours. Building seems to be a natural human instinct, so how come the brightest kids don't end up building things for a living?
They get talked out of it, that's how come. At school, any child who shows the potential for anything more challenging than bar-code scanning is rapidly directed towards the office-bound occupations, and anyone who expresses the ridiculous ambition of a career in building is swiftly disabused.
So many of the people who end up in the building trades are there because they were thought unsuitable for anything more intellectual. And many others, who rejected that negative publicity and went into building because - what the hell - they liked it, have to suffer the opprobrium of being cast as no-hopers.
Now demand for training is so low that next month three London building colleges are laying off tutors and scrapping courses, while the industry itself is in crisis because of a shortage of trained personnel.
And this below-centre image does much to explain why successive governments have fought shy of regulating the building industry. Since building is done by a rabble of tattooed oafs, they seem to think, what chance is there of controlling it? Might just as well let them get on with it.
Two problems with this approach: first, the rest of the population is beholden to builders to keep them warm/dry/alive; and second, the builders who are doing a good job are fed up with being lumped together with the moron crowd - just as your average football fan resents being tarred with the same brush as the bottle-throwers of Marseilles.
But as long as there is no regulation, and the public image of the builder is of a beer belly bulging out over a pair of Union Jack shorts, and as long as women dread walking past building sites because of the sexist taunting, then children will be told that building is not a suitable occupation for an intelligent grown-up.
Even if you do get to wear white boots.

SOURCE: bosch max wfl2000 washing machine
I am a recently retired appliance engineer of 20 years sounds like a faulty cold supply, or just no water getting to machine, if water supply ok check the water solenoid, check for open circuit just try that to start with, hope this helps if so rate me please
Posted on Sep 09, 2007
SOURCE: bosch max wfl2000 washing machine
Just been through this with our Bosch Maxx, problem was the pump discharge pipe was blocked with soap deposits. I also removed the large black rubber pipe from the drum/pump and cleaned this out as well.
All working fine now.
Posted on May 11, 2008
SOURCE: fabric conditioner drawer does not empty
The inlet to the conditioner compartment is probably blocked.
Get a thin piece of flexible wire and make a right angled bend on the end about 1" long, and poke it into all the holes u can see in the top of the dispenser compartment, particularly the ones at the front right side.
This should solve the prob.
Plz rate this solution .

Envious of graduates who scoop their first paid job though parents or relatives? You needn't be. Any graduate can develop a network of useful career contacts without a company director in the family. Networking is easy if you know how - you don't have to be a whizz at 'working the room' - and graduates who develop their own employment contacts need never be short of career advice and job offers.
Here are five networking opportunities which all graduates can take advantage of:
Employer websites
"The sooner graduates realise the networking potential of the internet, the better," says James Tan, IT programmer and web designer. "The web is an excellent networking resource, but it has to be used in the right way. Entering career-related phrases into a search engine tends to bring up generic information and recruitment agency sites.
"Instead, consider who you would like to be your future employer and visit their website directly. A well-maintained company website can offer more employment news than the most well-informed employee. Keeping a record of good employer websites and visiting them regularly is networking for the digital age."
Fraser Ball, recruitment manager at Capital One, suggests that monitoring its company website is as good as having a personal conversation with the graduate recruitment team. "It provides the most up-to-date information about jobs and recruitment - and also gives specific information about how to apply for jobs before any other source," he explains.
Fraser also suggests that those graduates who apply for jobs through websites can be at a huge advantage. "When we receive external applications from graduates who have viewed our website, this demonstrates that the candidate has taken a real interest in our company."
Recruitment agencies
There are hundreds of recruitment agencies specialising in degree-calibre jobs, and graduates should be aware of the beneficial contacts an agency can make on their behalf. "One of the major aims of all recruitment agencies is to build a large network of employer contacts," says James Pritchard of JPA Graduate Recruitment.
"By joining an employment agency you are essentially networking with hundreds of businesses. Candidates only need fill out one form to access a wide range of potential employers."
Graduates who register with four or five recruitment agencies can immediately gain a massive range of employment contacts. "Establishing a good relationship with a recruitment agency is definitely a good way of networking", says London School of Economics graduate Lucy Yates. "I kept in regular con- tact with several agencies whilst I was seeking employment, and was inundated with job offers and information about the current working climate."
Work experience
"Work experience placements can be an excellent way for undergraduates to establish a network of contacts for the future," says Marie Dowsett, work-experience recruiter for The Daily Telegraph. "They give students the opportunity to meet the very people that have inspired them to pursue their chosen career.
"There are few other situations which offer career-minded individuals the chance to meet established professionals in a working environment." However, bear in mind that some employers take on hundreds of work- experience candidates throughout the year. In competitive industries, candidates will have to work very hard to stand out and develop relationships with employees.
Paid employment
Embarking on part-time work while at university, or a full-time job after graduation can help build a network of career contacts.
"Paid employment is a valuable networking resource," says Martin Thorne, director of the careers advisory service at Nottingham University. "Any paid work puts graduate job-seekers in contact with other employed individuals who can provide them with valuable insights into different career options."
University of Nottingham graduate Neil Michalef has found his former part-time employers to be a great contact for careers advice.
"I still keep in touch with my ex-manager and good friend at the Legal Services Commission in Nottingham. He's checked over my CV for me in the past to point out errors, and has e-mailed me job adverts which he thinks I should apply for."
Social events
Career contacts are not always made via obvious, employment-related routes. Useful career contacts and inside information can be achieved by meeting new people during social occasions.
Richard Hill learned about an exciting job opportunity while attending a friend's office Christmas party.
"I got talking to one of my friend's work colleagues about my career plans. He introduced me to his manager who told me there was a graduate vacancy. He gave me his business card and when I called on Monday he arranged an interview for me. I now work as a trainee within the company."
So, who needs well-connected parents? Developing you own contacts can be rewarding. You might even find it fun too.

La Fe University Hospital, Valencia, Spain
SESSION TITLE: Transplantation Posters
SESSION TYPE: Poster Presentations
PRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PM
PURPOSE: Share our experience in pediatric lung transplantation, survival rates and analyze the results in comparison to worldwide experience.
METHODS: Thirtytwo pediatric patients were listed for lung transplantation at our hospital from 1995 to 2013, from which 23 patients had a single-lung, bipulmonary or heart-lung transplantation. The ages were between 8 and 15 years, 12 girls and 11 boys, with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in 21 cases and primary pulmonary hypertension in two of them. We analyzed them retrospectively, with a Kaplan-Meier survival curve.
RESULTS: Nine patients died on the waiting list. The immediate postoperative mortality rate was cero. Survival at one, five and ten years was 86.4% (+/- 0,73),, 76.8% (+/- 0,91) and 43.4% (+/- 1,42) respectively. Median survival rate was 10.31 (+/- 1.66) years. Bipulmonary survival rates at one, five and ten years were 85% (+/- 0.8), 74.4% (+/- 0.1) and 45.3% (+/- 0.15) respectively. Heart-lung transplantation survival could not be evaluated. One bilobar-bipulmonary transplantation was performed.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results are very similar to worldwide experience. There is a very high mortality in the waiting list of the pediatric candidates for lung transplantation. This can be explained because of the lack of adecuate donors for population at pediatric age. The remarkable low mortality rate on the immediate postoperatory period can be explained by the strenght and good recovery capability that characterizes pediatric population. We found no difference in the results when doing a lobar transplantation instead of a normal bipulmonary transplant, in the case of an emergency, rather than the immediate postoperatory management.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The high mortality rate showed in the waiting list for this age population leads us to think in different ways of increasing the number of available organs. There are several ways described to do so, and we must make an effort to be able to offer them to our patients. Lobar transplantation is one of them and in our experience, even if it's a short one, can be a good example.

Hello Darkness,
My Old Friend
One morning three years ago, in the middle of a golf course, I asked God to strike me dead.
"Take me now," I whispered, "with a little lightning. The sun is out, but You don't need rain. It'll look like an act of God."
And I saw the headline: Joan Rivers Goes Golfing.
At that dark moment, I thought I had excellent reasons for wanting to move to a higher realm. Sally Marr . . . and Her Escorts, the Tony-nominated play to which I'd given my heart for seven years, had just closed without warning after only five months. Because the whole world had seemed to like the play, I had expected it to run forever and had given up my day job, an Emmy-winning TV show.
Suddenly, for the first time in thirty years, I found myself out of show business, facing days whose highlights would be lunch. Suddenly there were no offers, no job opportunities. After thirty years of incessant work and splendid success, I was what actors like to call "at liberty." Paraphrasing Patrick Henry, I thought: Don't give me this liberty, give me death.
In late-night TV I had the future of a mosquito. David Letterman and Jay Leno continued to enforce their ten-year refusal to book me. And things were just as rosy for a new Joan Rivers Show. CBS had commissioned a pilot; CBS had approved the pilot; and then CBS had said, "Sorry, Joan, demographically you're too old." Chronologically, too, and I was getting older by the minute in a business that prefers you to go in the other direction.
At about the same time, Joan Rivers Products, the jewelry company that I had started and operated with great success, wasforced into a bankruptcy mess, created by its parent company, Regal Communications. Regal's creditors told me that if I didn't raise the thirty-seven million dollars the company owed them, I would have to design and sell my jewelry exclusively for them until the year 2023 to pay off this debt.
There wasn't a day that the ringing of the phone didn't bring me bad news. And then the phone stopped ringing.
Yes, I thought that day on the golf course, my handicap was now life, and a kindly bolt of lightning would release me from the game. Enough was enough. How long can you keep fighting back? How often can you start again?
But with the speed of lightning, I suddenly knew that I could do it again: My alternate career had been pulling myself up from rock bottom. I had survived being fat and poor and unwanted. I had survived being called a bitch, a no-talent, and a has-been. I had survived being told that I was unfunny, that I was too funny, that I was too young, and that I was too old. I had even survived tumbling from the top of the world into a unique hell when first the Fox network canceled my late-night talk show and then my husband Edgar committed suicide.
And when still more blows befell me, I began to envy the good luck of Job. After Edgar's death, fate tossed me not only a heartbreaking estrangement from my daughter, Melissa, but also a move to the brink of financial ruin.
I had gotten through all those ordeals. I had repaired my bond with Melissa, rebuilt my career, and created a new life for myself in New York; and so, on the day when I was hitting both a golf ball and rock bottom, I knew that I could recharge my life one more time if I used the strategies I had found seven years before.
"Excuse the call," I said to God. "I'll be staying in touch."
And I went on. In doing so, I regained full ownership of my jewelry company, which is now global; I signed a long-term contract to do specials for E! Entertainment Network; I wrote another play; and I now have concert bookings all over the world. My life in the last three years has confirmed my belief that you can get through anything. Moreover, I've been able to figure out how I survived (twice) and how you can too.
With this knowledge I began giving self-help seminars all over the country. In the last three years I've told thousands of people how I rebounded from an installment plan of tragedy and not only reinvented my life but made the invention worth patenting. And now I want to share the patent with you.
We all do learn from one another. One Ohio woman told me that her mother had just died after a long illness and, in addition, she was going through a bitter divorce.
"I was at my wit's end," she told someone who, in 1994, had felt that her life should be called the Wit's End. "But then I heard you speak and I realized that, just like you, I could pick myself up and start over again."
After one of my talks in Florida, a man said to me, "I've been depressed for many years. Nothing ever seems to go right for me. But tonight, for the first time, I really believe that I can turn my life around and find happiness again."
When rejecting a script, Hollywood producers have a particularly idiotic phrase: "It's in turnaround." Does this mean that the script has been put on a carousel or in a blender? However, a life in turnaround has joyous meaning, and I can tell you how to do it, no matter what kind of loss you've hadnot because I'm so smart but because I've been there and I took notes: the Cliff Notes that'll keep you from going over one.
Perhaps your husband has just left you for another woman, one who doesn't yet know that he snores like an outboard motor. Well, I can help you start a new life, either happily single or with a man who will want to hang around. Or perhaps your home was just destroyed by a fire. I'll show you how to accept that loss as fast as your insurance company does, and how to decide on the next steps that will lead to happiness.
Whatever kind of loss has laid you low, however despondent you may feel, your pain is a very old story for the human race. Loss has been the way of the world since Adam and Eve had to leave their Garden apartment. Half of all marriages end in divorceand then there are the really unhappy ones. Eighty percent of women will be widowed in their lifetimes. Last year one in five new businesses failed, and one in twenty Americans lost his or her job. No wonder that Prozac is our favorite snack.
There are many self-help books by Ph.D.'s, but I hold a different degree: an I.B.T.I.A.I've Been Through It All. This degree comes not on parchment but gauze, and it entitles me to tell you that there is a way to get through any misfortune. In these pages you'll read my no-holds-barred account of the hell I intermittently went through and how I kept surviving; and you'll meet other people who insisted on surviving too.
The fact that you've picked up this book instead of The Wit and Wisdom of Snoop Doggy Dogg means that you have the will to bounce back. By the time you've turned the last page, you'll have the way.
Who Dealt This Mess?
"Mommy, Daddy killed himself."
I sat in stunned silence as Melissa broke the news to me: My husbanddead? Had committed suicide?
Suicide? Edgar? Surely it had to be some kind of mistake. Edgar and I had spoken many times about suicide, and he had always believed it to be a permanent solution to temporary problems. Could this man who had once loved life and adored his daughter have taken that life and left Melissa fatherless?
Like many people who hear bad news unexpectedly, I was in a state of disbelief. Maybe they meant another Edgar Rosenberg. Maybe this was someone's idea of a very sick joke.
How was it possible that Edgar had sunk so deep into depression that he saw no way out other than taking his own life? I wondered. How had we tumbled so very far, so very fast?
The year 1986 had begun on a high note, with the launching of The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers on the new Fox-TV network. Edgar and I were both ecstatic. The show was our reward for twenty-five years of hard work. It was the payoff for my long years in tiny comedy clubs; the endless one-nighters, alone in hotel rooms away from my family for weeks at a time; and then my slow, steady climb to stardom. It was the return on all the planning and wisdom and love Edgar had poured into my career.
My husband and I had always worked wonderfully together, I on stage and Edgar behind the scenes. And so, when Fox offered me my own late-night talk show, he and I assumed that our partnership would continue to be as fine as ever. However, Edgar and Barry Diller, the chairman and CEO of Fox, disliked and distrusted each other from the start. When the show didn't quickly live up to the network's expectations, Diller and his colleagues graciously blamed Edgar.
A proud man's pride had been shattered, in spite of my efforts to protect both Edgar and the show. In June, Fox canceled The Late Show With Joan Rivers and issued press releases that were a family two-cushion shot: They vilified Edgar and humiliated me.

text: The original hydrotherapy jet was invented by the Jacuzzi brothers in 1956 to treat a family member's arthritis and a small business was born. This innovative spirit was captured by Roy Jacuzzi who marketed the first self-contained, fully integrated whirlpool bath in 1968. It became the bath that almost single-handedly created an industry. As larger units were designed to accommodate more people, Jacuzzi® incorporated heating and filtration systems to keep the water warm and clean, thus creating the first hot tub in 1970.

Royal Canin used its presence at BSAVA Congress 2013 to demonstrate its brand new cat owner education software, Catom.
Experts on the stand guided delegates through the new software, showing how vets and vet nurses can help explain illnesses and conditions during consultations.
Speaking to Vetsonline at congress, Gregory Casseleux, Europe scientific communication manager at Royal Canin, said the software was "mostly based on anatomy" and uses "fully customisable pictures".
Diagrams can also be printed and e-mailed from the software for clients to take home.
Dr Casseleux explained: "The idea was to have tools to help explain faster than drawing a picture on a whiteboard. It can be used to educate clients but it can also be used to train nurses or to train students."
Dr Casseleux said feedback from delegates had been "great" and that plans are afoot for the software to be rolled out to other species.
He said: "We are planning to do it for dogs as well for sure. The idea is to have that by the end of next year. It took a little while to deliver it for cats, but we learnt a lot so we should be faster for dogs."

This unit is described as suitable for people with no prior knowledge of chemistry. I disagree, especially with regards to the labs. If you haven't done chemistry before be prepared to put in a HUGE amount of effort. It's doable, but you will need to study hard.Anonymous, Semester 1, 2017
Lots of physics related chemistry, very difficult for someone who had never done chemistry before. Most of the lecturers are great but a few are really hard to understand and honestly terrible, so if you get those lectuers I suggest not even bothering with your own lecture time and attending a different stream. Probably important to do all of the reading as well as extra worksheets provided on MOODLE and in the textbookAnonymous, Semester 1, 2016
Good subject, but if you haven't done chem before - especially if you're looking to get high marks - take a vce-equivalent course first. There are some short, relatively inexpensive ones available online. I jumped in with no HS chem under my belt, but a good deal of biology and some basic chem knowledge. Even with the additional material they provide, it was a challenge to keep up. Worth it though, so persevere!Anonymous, Semester 1, 2016
Really interesting subject and good lecturers for most of the time, but quite difficult if you have little/no chemistry knowledge especially the lab reports.Anonymous, Semester 1, 2016
A lot of basic chemistry is assumed, especially in the laboratory. If you didn't do VCE chemistry then be prepared to put in 50% more effort than anyone who did do VCE chemistry.Anonymous, Semester 1, 2016

This paper introduces a robust variant of AdaBoost, cw-AdaBoost, that uses weight perturbation to reduce variance error, and is particularly effective when dealing with data sets, such as microarray data, which have large numbers of features and small number of instances. The algorithm is compared with AdaBoost, Arcing and MultiBoost, using twelve gene expression datasets, using 10-fold cross validation. The new algorithm consistently achieves higher classification accuracy over all these datasets. In contrast to other AdaBoost variants, the algorithm is not susceptible to problems when a zero-error base classifier is encountered.

Ex-Tyco Director Pleads Guilty Over $20 Million PayoffDec 17, 2002 | Wall Street Journal
A former director of Tyco International Ltd. (TYC) pleaded guilty Tuesday to taking an undisclosed $20 million payment from the company.
Frank E. Walsh Jr., who until February was Tyco's lead director, pleaded guilty to a criminal complaint that charges him with colluding with former Tyco chief executive, L. Dennis Kozlowski, to receive an undisclosed finder's fee for brokering Tyco's $9.5 billion purchase of CIT Group Inc. (CIT). In July, Tyco spun off CIT in an initial public offering of stock that raised $4.6 billion.
"I deeply regret my conduct," Mr. Walsh told Judge Michael Obus in New York state court.
Mr. Walsh also settled related Securities and Exchange Commission charges, agreeing to return the $20 million payment. He also agreed to be barred from serving as officer or director of a public company.
Mr. Walsh, 61 years old, of Convent Station, N.J., was immediately sentenced after pleading guilty. Judge Obus didn't impose a prison term but instead ordered Mr. Walsh to pay, in addition to the $20 million in restitution, $2.5 million to the city and state in lieu of a fine and $250,000 to the district attorney's office to cover the costs of the prosecution.
He could have received up to four years in prison for violating the antifraud provision of the Martin Act, New York's general business law.
Mr. Walsh "has certainly acknowledged his mistake," the judge said. "Although his sentence does not involve incarceration, it is a significant sanction."
After the hearing, Prosecutor John Moscow said Walsh didn't have a cooperation agreement but "if he is called to testify at trial he will testify truthfully."
Mr. Kozlowski and former Tyco financial chief Mark H. Swartz are expected to go to trial in the spring on charges of looting $170 million from the company. Former Tyco general counsel Mark Belnick was separately charged with falsifying business records and would likely go on trial after Messrs. Kozlowski and Swartz.
Tyco's board became aware of the fee paid to Mr. Walsh in early January 2002 and demanded his resignation. The company sued him in June to recover the money, claiming he had breached his fiduciary duties.
A Tyco spokesman declined to comment on Mr. Walsh's guilty plea or how it could affect the suit, which is still pending.
At a press conference, District Attorney Robert Morgenthau called the charges an unprecedented case of "malfeasance" by a company's director.
According to the charges, Messrs. Walsh and Kozlowski submitted the proposed CIT acquisition to Tyco's board without disclosing that Mr. Walsh would receive the hefty finder's fee. After the purchase was completed, the payment wasn't included in Tyco's filing with the SEC.
Messrs. Walsh and Kozlowski later agreed for Walsh to keep $10 million and contribute another $10 million to a charity, the Community Foundation of New Jersey, according to the complaint.
Mr. Walsh is returning $20 million of his own resources to Tyco, allowing the charity to continue to have full use of the funds, a spokesman for Mr. Walsh said.
During the court proceeding, Mr. Walsh's attorney, Joel Cohen, described his client as a "God-fearing" man who has long given to charity. "Helping others is what moves him," he told the judge. "This prosecution has taken one snapshot of his life -- snapshots can be unfair."
He added that Mr. Walsh would "never be able to put this event behind him."

Yeah, you've got a German Shepherd. It's a big, fierce-looking dog that isn't afraid of anything and has the smarts to know who's your friend and who isn't. Your dog is elegant, smart, loyal and easy to train. In other words, a hundred times better than most people's kids, who are screaming, spoiled, destructive little slobs. Your GSD would never tear up a house the way those pint-size snots do. Your dog doesn't whine and has no trouble eating without making a mess. So let them talk. You're wearing a t-shirt or hoodie that says it all, with a German Shepherd that makes you proud.
