Entente féminine that binds UK and France
Cross-Channel friendship fosters a centre-left alliance
Sunday 29 July 2012
When Ed Miliband shook hands with François Hollande on the steps of the Elysée Palace last week, the protocol-breaching moment was hailed as a victory for a Labour leader trying to establish himself as a statesman-in-waiting – even though one French photographer didn't recognise him.
The French President is said to admire Mr Miliband and sees him as a key ally in forging a new centre-left anti-austerity alliance in the European Union. But the story behind the handshake began several years ago with a cross-Channel friendship between two women advisers now hailed as rising stars in their parties.
Emma Reynolds, Labour's shadow Europe minister, and Axelle Lemaire, the new French Socialist MP for northern Europe, became friends while working in Westminster during the last Parliament. Friends say their entente féminine has been instrumental in bringing Mr Miliband and Mr Hollande together.
In 2006, Ms Lemaire, 37, was a researcher for Labour's former Europe minister Denis MacShane while Ms Reynolds was a special adviser to Geoff Hoon, who was appointed Mr MacShane's successor. Both were fluent in each other's languages, intellectual and fascinated with politics. Ms Lemaire set up the London section of the French Parti Socialiste (PS).
By last October, Ms Reynolds, MP for Wolverhampton North East and Ms Lemaire, who was campaigning to be MP for one of France's 11 new overseas seats representing French expats in northern Europe, helped organise primaries to select the Socialist presidential candidate.
After Mr Hollande's victory in the primaries, both women lobbied their leaders for a new "centre-left entente cordiale", leading to Mr Hollande's meeting with Mr Miliband in Parliament last February, when David Cameron snubbed the Socialist candidate. Both women were at their leaders' side during a lunch for top figures in each party. It paved the way for last week's visit.
Ms Lemaire was unavailable for comment last night but Ms Reynolds said the relationship between the Parti Socialiste and the Labour Party was "stronger than ever before", although there were some ideological differences, with the French Socialists to the left of Labour. President Hollande, she said, had always been a "pragmatic social democrat much more in keeping with New Labour than other parts of the PS".
Mr MacShane said last night: "I have watched Emma in the House of Commons and she is as good as any of the 2010 vintage of women MPs. It is good that both British and French politics have this couple who know and like each other's country, language and political culture.
"At a time when no Tory MP dare be anything other than anti-European, and the French anti-EU right and hard left are growing in strength, it is good to have Axelle and Emma there with the facts, arguments and experience to show being EU member states is good for Britain and France."

'3G support is a bonus'
'Fast processor, 5-megapixel camera'
'very sturdy phone'
'The Nokia E72 includes a full qwerty keyboard that is comfortable to type on.'
'pretty average performance'
'it a very slim appearance'
'Ovi Maps doesn't do much for walkers.'
'the E5 is significantly cheaper and still looks reasonably stylish.'
'In short, this phone feels solid.'
'Nonetheless, if you require a smartphone for both professional and personal use (and don't mind a small screen), the Nokia E5 is an enticing proposition.'
'Inconsistent interface'
'excellent capacitive touchscreen'
'The Nokia X6 is a good-looking mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen.'
'The phone sports an accelerometer for automatically switching from landscape to portrait when you rotate the phone and there is also a built-in speaker for listening to music or speakerphone.'
'When all the widgets are active, the constant flow of information can be overwhelming and somewhat of a (forgive us) blur.'
'The on-screen QWERTY keyboard, available in portrait and landscape modes, was not nearly as accurate.'
'Battery life was also dismal.'
'And its non-MOTOBLUR functions are equally well-designed.'
'For certain applications, such as the Web browser, e-mail, photos, and videos, the built-in accelerometer will also automatically switch the screen from portrait mode to landscape mode when you rotate the phone.'
'No FM radio.'
'There's no way around it: the HTC Touch Pro2 packs a good deal of bulk, to the point that it's not the type of phone someone wearing tight jeans will want to carry.'
'The Touch Pro2 is a dense, heavy phone, and it will weigh down a light pair of pants in a front pocket.'
'the phone sounded fairly clean, and callers had no trouble understanding us.'
'fairly weighty mobile'
'We've been able to install the necessary certificates and easily gain access to our office Exchange mail server and have new messages pushed to the phone.'
'Cons Superfluous home-screen switch feature.'
'generous keypad'
'The gliding action is very smooth, probably due to the fact that the phone is a well-built device.'
'A few blue details, such as the blue navigation key, add a little flare to the already stylish phone.'
'Cons Direction pad erratic.'

Many Generation Y staff find work uninspiring - poll
Gen-Y staff not getting time to innovate
CATHERINE HARRIS AND JAZIAL CROSSLEYRelevant offers
Many Generation Y workers do not yet feel they work in environments where new ideas can thrive, a new survey shows.
A survey of 5000 young people by global business consultancy Deloitte showed that nearly 80 per cent of workers in the Gen Y category believe innovation is essential to business growth but only 26 per cent believed their bosses were doing enough to encourage innovation.
Deloitte New Zealand spokesman Grant Frear said the survey showed just how much importance Gen Y workers - those born between the late 1970s and the year 2000 - placed on innovation.
"A generational shift is taking place in business as baby boomers, many of whom may have been wedded to the 'old way' of doing business, begin to step down from their leadership roles to retire. There's a tremendous upside if we get this right: we can better retain talent, remain more competitive into the future, and more positively impact society."
So far, however, most Gen Y respondents felt their employers had a long way to go.
Product marketing associate Sarah McCann, 26, said creativity was pivotal in her role. Even in a previous customer care position, being creative was important to find "out of the box" solutions to problems.
"I think it helps hold interest. A lot of Generation Y [people] tend to move on to things quickly and get bored too quickly. Because there is so much information out there it is hard for our generation to keep still or keep engaged in what they're doing so I think if you can find a role that caters for that, it makes a huge difference."
Accounting software company Xero's 26-year-old web developer Craig Hamnett said creativity in work was important to him.
"We get a set amount of time every couple of weeks to work on pretty much anything we want. That is basically our time to make things that are either of benefit to the company or something that we want to do for ourselves. It's something you're encouraged to take and is a case of doing something you're interested in specifically. You might have to do a little presentation to your team on things you've been working on in your own time, so you're sharing that knowledge."
Just over a third of the Deloitte respondents believed staff needed more free time dedicated to learning and creativity in order to innovate. However, only 17 per cent said this was the case in their current organisation.
Two-thirds said innovation was a key reason for selecting their employer. Nearly half believed encouragement or rewards for creativity were a requirement for innovation to occur. However, only a fifth of those surveyed said their workplaces operated this way.

RPT-UPDATE 2-Murphy Oil's Malaysia assets draw interest from Mitsubishi, ONGC -sources
- Tweet
- Share this
(Repeats story with no changes)
* ONGC and Oil India likely to team up for joint bid
* Kuwait Petroleum, Mitsui among others eying Murphy's assets
* Thailand's PTT decides not to bid
By Denny Thomas and Nidhi Verma
July 17 (Reuters) - Top Japanese trading house Mitsubishi Corp has submitted a non-binding bid to buy Murphy Oil Corp's Malaysian oil and gas assets valued at about $2.5 billion, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
India's state-owned Oil & Natural Gas Corp and Oil India Ltd are among the other suitors preparing to submit bids for the Murphy assets, separate sources with direct knowledge of the process said.
ONGC and Oil India would "most likely" submit a joint bid for the assets, one of the sources directly involved in the process said, something they have done in the past for overseas energy assets.
A final decision on the Indian firms' bid will be made by the government, another person familiar with the process said.
The Indian companies are likely to submit preliminary bids for the Murphy stake by the end of this month after getting mandatory internal approvals, said the sources, who declined to be identified as the process is not public.
"We want energy security. The focus of energy security should be to get the resources to India if need be. It should not be for investment's sake only," a senior Indian government official told Reuters.
Arkansas-based Murphy, which has interests in oil and gas fields in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brunei and Australia, has invited bids for a 30 percent stake in its Malaysian assets, Reuters previously reported.
"ONGC's strategy has always been to increase production overseas and it has largely been because in the domestic market, they have not had much success," said Prakash Joshi, director of equity research at IDFC Institutional Equities.
India's state explorers including ONGC, India's largest oil and gas exploration company, have been hunting overseas as they struggle to arrest decline from local gas fields and boost the country's energy security.
In June last year, ONGC together with Oil India acquired a 10-percent stake in a deepwater gas field in Mozambique's Rovuma basin for $2.48 billion.
In August, ONGC agreed to buy another 10-percent stake in the field from Anadarko Petroleum for $2.64 billion.
Malaysia is the biggest market in Murphy's Asian portfolio, accounting for more than 45 percent of its total 2012 net production, according to the company's website.
"These are world class assets producing significant amount of liquids and it has some upside through gas," one person familiar with the process said.
"You get access to quality oil production immediately, in substantial quantity. It has got more than 10 years' of life."
Murphy's net oil and gas production from Malaysia was about 86,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2013, with total proved reserves of 125 million barrels of oil and 406 billion cubic feet (11 billion cubic metres) of gas, according to its website.
Kuwait Petroleum Corp and Japan's Mitsui & Co were among the other suitors considering a bid.
Thailand's PTT did not take part in the bidding, a senior company official told Reuters. Kuwait Petroleum did not reply to an email seeking response, while a Mitsui spokesman declined comment.
Murphy's planned sale follows similar exits by other independent U.S. energy producers such as Hess Corp and Newfield Exploration Co, both of which have offloaded their Southeast Asian operations.
The move is also prompted in part by the strong demand generated for the Newfield and Hess auctions last year, the sources added.
A Mitsubishi spokeswoman, Oil India Chairman Sunil Kumar Srivastava and ONGC Videsh, the overseas business arm of ONGC, all declined to comment. Murphy did not respond to e-mails seeking comment.

Surface Pro 2 review: Microsoft's tablet hybrid is worth your time, but perhaps not your money
Microsoft's updated Surface range is stunningly designed, but Windows 8.1 will still confuse some customers
Friday 29 November 2013
When Microsoft had to write down $900 million of unwanted inventory in July this year, there was only one device that could be responsible.
The Surface tablet – or, tablets rather; the RT and the more expensive Pro – weren't best loved by customers, with the original pair essentially laughed out of town when Microsoft claimed they offered the functionality of both a tablet and a laptop.
Microsoft are still making the same claims and it's still as difficult a challenge. However, with this update to the Surface line, they're closer than they've ever been before. Whilst broad swathes of the market attempt to be the 7-inch king of entertainment and with Apple positioning the iPad air as a productivity machine of their own, it's worth seeing exactly how far Microsoft have come with the Surface.
Note: There are two tiers of Surface devices – the more expensive and more powerful Intel-powered Surface Pro 2 and the ARM-powered Surface 2 (previously the Surface RT). The latter uses Windows RT 8.1 (which doesn't support software designed for Windows 7 and earlier) whilst the former uses Windows 8.1 (the 'full fat'version). We do have something to say about the Surface 2 as well though, so read on.
Design and build
Firstly, the Surface Pro 2 is visually identical to its predecessor. It's made from the same Microsoft-patented VaporMG material and still offers a distinctly 'premium' feel (although it also attracts both smudges and nicks). It also has the same port allocation, meaning there's a USB 3.0 connection for your various sticks and drives - something the iPad still doesn't offer.
Unfortunately, the Pro 2 also has the Pro's same weight problem: it's 900g and more than half an inch thick. This may not sound like much but it's just less than double the size and weight of the new iPad air and it means the Pro 2 never feels like a tablet. You wouldn't take it out on the bus to read ebooks with, though you might if you could grab a table on the train.
The kickstand in the new Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2 can now be set at two different angles - meaning it's possible, but not easy, to use it on your lap.
Kickstand and keyboard
On a flat surface is where Microsoft's 'hybrid' really comes into its own (though hopefully not where it got its name): attach a keyboard and plonk it on a desk or table and the Surface Pro 2 is a wonderful device. Microsoft have finally upgraded the kickstand so it works in two positions - one of which appropriate for an actual computer - and the keyboard accessories are beautifully designed.
Microsoft offers two of them, both of which do duty as a cover and are held into place by a pair of satisfyingly clunky magnets (never underestimate the psychological pleasure of a good clunk).
The Surface Pro 2 with the Type Cover 2 attached. Purple may not be everybody's cover, but Microsoft have done a fantastic job in packing a good keyboard into the Type Cover 2's slim form.
There's the £99.99 Touch Cover 2 and the £109.99 Type Cover 2. The Touch Cover is made out of a sort of felt material with a tiny touchpad on the bottom - it's backlit and beuatifully responsive but still feels awkward for long periods of typing. Happily the Type Cover is a perfect complement for th Surface Pro. It's a little thicker than the Touch Cover, sure, but for only £10 more it allows you type happily all day.
Battery and screen
The battery life is one of the most significant areas of improvement for the Surface Pro. The first generation barely lasted for longer than four hours at a time but the new version (with help from a firmware update out earlier this month) easily pushes past the eight hour mark.
This means you'll get a full day's work out of it and considering how you might use the device (eg, a couple of hours a day during travel) then you might not even need a charger for days at a time.
The screen on the Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2 is 10.6-inches diagonally, with a 1920x1080 resolution.
However, you'll have to dial down that battery life if you plan to take full advantage of the Pro 2's gorgeous screen. The 10.6-inch display is full HD with a 1920 x 1080 resolution that offers fantastic viewing angles. And although the screen can feel somewhat letter boxy when browing the web, the slightly flattened ratio is perfect for films.
This is how Microsoft is really trying to sell the Surface Pro - as a machine that can replace your laptop and offer the same functionality. In terms of specs there's no doubt that the Surface Pro 2 is impressive: there's a fourth generation Intel Haswell i5 powering the thing and you can choose 4GB or 8GB of RAM. Hard drives go from 64GB to 512GB, though there's also 200GB free cloud storage for 2 years.
In pure numbers, the Pro 2 is easily the equal of more equivalent laptops - though at its highest specs (with the keyboard on top) it does end up as pricier than an equivalent laptop from Apple. That will certainly be a sticking point for all but the most partisan users.
The desktop mode oof Windows 8.1 will still be a haven for many newcomers to the OS.
However, the problem with being productive on the Surface is with the software, not the hardware. Now is not the time for an exhaustive examination of the faults and virtues of Windows 8.1, so to put it simply there's a bit of a learning curve. x
When you're just working in a single window it's all good, but as soon as you try any serious multitasking everything just seems that everything takes a couple more steps than you'd like. Microsoft have tried to solve this with more options to switch between windows and split the screen in two, but it's just not enough. This doesn't put it behind its competitors, but it doesn't push it out in front either.
I must confess, I have a bit of a soft spot for the Surface. The look and feel of the device are fantastic and Microsoft throws all the perks it can at you: free cloud storage, free Skype calls, even a very under-publicised but very good ad-supported music streaming service, Xbox Music. The hardware is all there too; in terms of design and power, battery life and screen quality.
Unfortunately, the price is still a major sticking point. Yes, the Pro 2 'starts' at £719 but once you take into account what actually need it becomes a pricey device. There's the keyboard (£829); because the operating system takes up nearly half of a 64GB drive so you'll probably want to bump that up to 128GB storage (£909); and you'll need Office if you're going to get any work done (currently discounted from £80 to £60 - so it's now £969).
At this point the Surface Pro 2 costs £100 more than an 11-inch MacBook Air with nearly identical specs, and if you're only buying this device for light use then, well, you'll want to look elsewhere.
The Surface 2 is thinner and lighter than the Pro 2, offering many of the same features for less money.
One more thing...
However, if you are only looking to get a new tablet for light work - some point and click web browsing, a bit of iPlayer and tapping out some emails - then the Pro 2's little brother, the Surface 2, might actually be a good fit. It gets all the kudos the Pro 2 gets for the quality screen and design build, but is also lighter and thinner.
The main problem for the Surface 2 is the lack of a full operating system. Windows RT has no desktop mode and no legacy software. As a compensation it comes with Office (saving you the £60) but you'll still need to get a keyboard to make any use of this.
Prices start from £359 for a 32GB device and £439 for 64GB - so this still isn't a cheap device, but it's worth considering rather than instantly discarding as an option. If using Windows RT holds no fear for you (and definitely try before you buy) then the Surface 2 can be as fluid and responsive as you'd want

Nanosensors Could Help Reduce Laboratory Animal Testing 51
from the won't-somebody-please-think-of-the-bunnies? dept.
Catch up on stories from the past week (and beyond) at the Slashdot story archive
That's more true with some animals than others. Anything that uses primates is expensive as hell, but mice are cheap; laboratories go through literally millions of them per year (estimates are around 50 million/year for the U.S.), and spend less on them than on even the grad students.
Now a reusable sensor has the advantage that it can be cleaned and reused (depending on the design), so there may not need to be 50 million sensors to replace 50 million mice. But the per-unit cost they'll have to match to compete with the quite cheap/disposable mice is still a pretty daunting design/manufacturing challenge.
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Rutgers' regular-season ended with the Scarlet Knights thinking about what might have been after they lost a BCS bowl berth with consecutive losses.
They will have to have to wait a little longer to completely wash away that bitter feeling.
On Friday night in the Russell Athletic Bowl, Rutgers dominated the first half defensively, only to see its offense wilt down the stretch as a late turnover and missed field goal cost it in a 13-10 overtime loss to Virginia Tech.
The loss ended a run of five straight bowl victories for the Scarlet Knights and kept them from recording their first double-digit win season since 2006.
"Two tremendous defensive performances, and one of the better defensive performances I've seen from Rutgers players this season," Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said. "It's unfortunate that we came out on the wrong side of the game, and squander that kind of performance as a result."
Virginia Tech's Cody Journell kicked a 22-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime.
Rutgers (9-4) had a chance to tie it, but Nick Borgese missed a 42-yard field-goal attempt to the right.
"It's frustrating just because of the type of competitor I am," Rutgers linebacker Khaseem Greene said. "That this defense is and this team is in general. We go out every day to compete, and it's to win. But it's just something we have to learn from."
Virginia Tech (7-6) won its third straight game to avoid its first losing season since 1992.
"Not everything in life is real smooth," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. "These players worked hard and how they reacted to adversity and to disappointment and when all of them wanted to do better — they kept together."
Independence Bowl
OHIO 45, LOUISIANA-MONROE 14: At Shreveport, La., Tyler Tettleton threw for 331 yards and two touchdowns, and Beau Blankenship scored four touchdowns to set an Independence Bowl record. The Bobcats (9-4) won their second straight bowl game, and broke several Independence Bowl records, including the 31-point margin and 556 total yards. Tettleton was especially sharp in the first half, completing 9 of 14 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns as Ohio built a 24-7 lead. He finished 14 of 22 and averaged more than 23 yards per completion. Louisiana-Monroe (8-5) struggled in its first bowl game after 19 seasons in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Car Care Bowl
TEXAS TECH 34, MINNESOTA 31: At Houston, D.J. Johnson returned an interception 39 yards and Ryan Bustin made a 28-yard field goal as time expired to give Texas Tech a comeback victory. Seth Doege found Eric Ward on a short pass, and he outran a defender for a 35-yard scoring play to tie it at 31 with just more than a minute remaining. Michael Carter intercepted two of Doege's passes in the fourth quarter before the tying score, but Minnesota couldn't convert either of the turnovers into points.

On September 21, a huge crowd attended the Jim Vreeland memorial and paddle-out. Many spoke passionately, not only of Jim's contributions to the city, especially the renovated beach that was his sanctuary, but also of his warmth and generosity as a human being. There was laughter and stories were shared, and by the end, nary a dry eye was to be seen. As his wife Lauri put it, "Jim couldn't have asked for a better send-off!" And our community couldn't have asked for a better citizen. Thanks, Jim, thanks for everything.

Pacificans are mourning the loss of former City Council member Jim Vreeland, who served 15 years on the council and is remembered for his work to protect the city's natural environment and outdoors recreation, especially the beaches and trails. Jim always took the high road, and I believe his spirit lives on in Pacifica. Please click the Comments link below this post to submit your memories of Jim for our archives.

As promised at the memorial service, here is a link for the memorial fund for Jim's family. Lauri will use the money for the boys' education. James is 13 and Scott is only 8, so we want to raise as much as we can. We are doing the fundraising online because of the ease in tracking the money and getting it to Lauri, but also the ease in donating. Here is the link:
Thanks so much for attending the memorial service. I know that Lauri really appreciated the turnout. Lauri has a rough road ahead, but I hope we raise enough to make it a little easier. Thanks in advance for anything you can contribute. And please share this with others!

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/28/12 -- AFG Flameguard Ltd. (CNSX:AFG) ("AFG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update regarding the completion of product testing and certification.
Further to the Company's news release of July 27, 2012, AFG is pleased to announce that an extensive testing and certification program commissioned by DSPA.NL is now complete. Testing was conducted over several months at an independent international testing agency, Kiwa Netherland B.V. ("KIWA") (http://www.kiwa.nl). KIWA is accredited by the Dutch Accreditation Council and is recognized by the Standards Council of Canada and certain foreign accreditation organizations that are members of the International Accreditation Forum.
On November 6, 2012, DSPA Condensed Aerosol Generators DSPA 11-1, DSPA 11-2, DSPA 11-3, DSPA 11-4, DSPA 11-5, DSPA 11-6 and DSPA 8-1 received declarations of conformity based on parts of CEN/TR 15276-1, ISO15779 and UL 2775 from KIWA. The tests included, among other attributes, the durability, reliability and measurement of the effectiveness of our DSPA installed unit.
The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) has confirmed that by virtue of its membership in the International Accreditation Forum's (IAF) Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA), it recognizes accreditation certificates issued by the Dutch Accreditation Council to certification bodies, including Kiwa Netherland B.V., equivalent to the certificates issued by SCC to its own accredited organizations.
AFG President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Bell, stated, "These certifications represent a significant milestone for AFG and its line of DSPA fixed installation systems. We believe that the results of the KIWA tests and related certifications will facilitate the future sales of DSPA fixed systems. The fire prevention and suppressions systems market as it relates to new construction in Canada alone is a multibillion dollar industry. Fire safety protection, utilizing AFG's innovative aerosol technology when compared to conventional systems is the most cost effective solution."
DSPA systems will be marketed for use in circumstances where installed fire suppression systems are used or required. DSPA systems offer a cost effective alternative solution when compared to traditional fire suppression systems. AFG intends to market these systems in Canada and its other territories through agents and national distributors that already market and install fixed fire suppression systems. The Company is now seeking additional agents and distributors.
On October 14, 2012, the Company conducted two demonstrations with 240 firefighters in attendance from the Saskatchewan Volunteer Firefighters Association at the North Battleford Fire School's fall session. To date, the Company has placed over 400 units in the hands of first responders. The initial marketing program has successfully proven the units in the field and has saved over 20 structures in the past year alone. North Battleford was the first fire department in Saskatchewan to include DSPA-5 units on their front line fire apparatus and they have deployed three DSPA-5 units to date.
Sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $36,175 and $74,432 (2011 - $11,039 and $29,680) and included sales of DSPA-5 units and carrying cases, HCA products and miscellaneous fire-suppression related products. Gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $17,445 (48%) and $40,097 (54%) (2011 - $4,586 (42%) and $13,067 (44%)). The higher margins in 2012 were due to increased efficiencies in both pricing and costing procedures.
Total assets have decreased from $973,506 as at December 31, 2011 to $790,541 as at September 30, 2012. The $182,965 decrease is attributed primarily to cash utilized to fund operations offset by HST refunds received during the period.
As at September 30, 2012, the Company had working capital deficiency of $195,718 (December 31, 2011 - working capital of $24,881) and a deficit of $53,074 (December 31, 2011 - equity of $170,208). The decrease in working capital is a direct result of the interest-free promissory note of $466,812 due June 30, 2013, becoming a current liability as it is less than a year from becoming due and payable. The Company currently has enough inventory on hand to generate approximately $1.2 million in sales.
As the activity of the Company has focused on new sales channels and the potential of the new certifications to gain acceptance from the broader target markets, AFG plans to continuously improve sales and raise capital to meet its capital needs.
The third quarter financial statements of the Company have been filed on www.sedar.com.
AFG is a life safety technology focused company providing innovative fire suppression and prevention products and services. AFG products include intumescent paints and coatings as well as the revolutionary line of Dry Sprinkler Powder Aerosol generators ("DSPA") which utilizes environmentally friendly waterless aerosol technology to rapidly suppress fire. The use of DSPA technology significantly reduces air, water and soil contamination caused by excessive amounts of water used in conventional methods of firefighting. DSPA technology is available in portable and fixed installation systems. A DSPA fixed extinguishing system consists of one or more DSPA aerosol generators which are activated by a detection and activation system. DSPA aerosol generators are not pressurized and are installed inside the compartment or room that requires protection. After activation, a non toxic aerosol cloud is generated which expands volumetrically, flooding the space and extinguishing the fire.

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential. Feb. 1, 2015 01:15 PM EST Reads: 2,807 |
By Elizabeth White The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate.
The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.
Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy. Feb. 1, 2015 01:00 PM EST Reads: 3,052 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status.

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker. The mesh of things that we manage must be segmented into zones of trust for sensing data, transmitting data, receiving command and control administrative changes, and peer-to-peer mesh messaging.

Probably a Hotel now or a hospital or maybe even demolished.
But I know one thing if we don't hurry up and find it someone will be dragging themselves out of their sick bed to get it.

'Come on you Spurs!' - Erik Lamela gives Tottenham boost ahead of new season
Tottenham winger Erik Lamela suffered a torrid first season in North London, but he looks to be on the mend as he posted a tweet with the message, "I'm really looking forward to this season, come on you Spurs!!'
The Argentine included a picture of himself in the gym as he seeks to return to full fitness after missing most of last season with a back injury.
Spurs had high hopes for the forward after spending £26million on his signature, but he ended up making only three Premier League starts as the White Hart Lane club toiled to sixth place.
However with compatriot Mauricio Pochettino taking over at White Hart Lane, the 22-year-old is hoping to make more of an impression in his second season in England.

Spoiled comeback
Men's soccer season comes to an end
It was as cut and dry as it gets for the men's soccer team. Win, and advance to its third consecutive Mid-American Conference tournament. Lose, and its season comes to an end.
The Bulls (5-11-1, 3-4 MAC) hosted Northern Illinois (6-9-3, 4-2-1 MAC) in their season finale at a cold, wet UB Stadium on Friday night. Buffalo had fought and clawed its way back to playoff contention, after winning its previous three matches. Only one win separated the team from postseason play.
But the slick field and howling winds made it tough for Buffalo to do much offensively as it struggled throughout the first half. The Bulls ultimately finished on the wrong side of a postseason berth, falling to the Huskies 1-0.
"The boys did well in the second half, despite playing on tired legs with two games in three days, which is awful tough in a playoff chase," said head coach David Hesch. "I wish the seniors the best; they played well today, but at the end of the day, it just wasn't enough." Northern Illinois came out attacking and was able to capitalize midway through the first half. In the 28th minute, Huskies' forward Gael Rivera took the ball from the right goal line and found forward Karim Darbaki, who drilled the ball into the upper left corner of the net past senior goalkeeper Jonathan Viscosi for what would be the game winner. Viscosi finished with four saves on the evening.
Although the Bulls were outshot 6-4 in the first half, they had put all four of their shots on goal. In the 31st minute, senior forward Maksym Kowal came storming down the middle of the field, firing a shot on net, but was turned away by the charging Northern Illinois goalkeeper.
The Bulls changed up their attack after the first half. They brought an extra man up on offense and fought for the ball, creating multiple opportunities.
"Our philosophy in the second half was to press them with two guys up top and get turnovers and put shots on net," Hesch said. "I thought we had three or four quality chances to get some goals, and I wish one went in but it didn't."
Senior midfielder Patrick Ryan was all over the field for the Bulls in the second half, creating and setting up quality shots.
In the 80th minute, Ryan fired a ball off a Buffalo corner, but the Northern Illinois defense turned it away before it could reach the net. Just minutes before, Ryan found junior midfielder Richard Craven cutting to the net. Craven's shot went just right and rolled out of play. These were Buffalo's last quality chances of forcing overtime and extending its season.
Kowal, Viscosi and Ryan make up three of Buffalo's six graduating seniors. Forward Joey Merlo and defenders Matthew Chereson and Risto Latti also played their last game in a Bulls uniform.
Viscosi will graduate from Buffalo with the ninth-most career saves (158) in UB history and also finishes in the top 10 for career goals-against average.
