If you are seeking a Malibu beach home for sale somewhat away from the P.C.H. and the annual deluge of summer beachgoers, Broad Beach is the place where many have taken refuge. With its location at the western end of Malibu, Broad Beach enjoys a unique quietness because of the remote location. With expansive amounts of dry sand, and rolling, grass covered dunes, Broad Beach looks as though it belongs on the East Coast especially with the high number of traditional and Cape Cod style homes dotted along the shore.
Broad Beach is approximately one mile long with 108 home sites on the sand and a few located on the bluffs. Broad Beach Road was once used as the original Pacific Coast Highway before the highway was relocated to the bluff above. With PCH high above the Broad Beach homes, residents here rarely hear any traffic noise from the busy highway. Broad Beach sits between Zuma Beach to the east and Trancas Point to the west. It is located a quick 15 minutes away from Malibu Pier and to reach Santa Monica one should allow about 1 hour for travel during non-peak commute times.
Most Broad Beach Malibu homes for sale have lots around 40 feet wide, but many residents at some point took advantage of acquiring a neighbor's lot and 80 to 120 foot wide lots can be found among the original homes. Broad Beach also has some of the deepest lots in all of Malibu, with many between 200 and 300 feet in length. This lends to home design where you can often find a guest house above the garage on the street side, a central courtyard, and a large two-story home on the beach side. Between the beach house and the shore can be found the real luxury of Broad Beach ….a huge yard of dry sand, beautiful dunes, and Broad Beach Road, with its minimal traffic, also serves as a great place to walk or ride a bike. Many Broad beach residents use the road to walk over to the newly remodeled shopping center at Trancas to make living at this end of Malibu like a getaway from all the hustle and bustle of town, yet within easy reach of all the daily conveniences.
I recently sold an original beach house on Broad Beach Road for $6.3m and many have told me that the sale was one of the last great buys on the beach. There are a few more Broad beach homes that may come on the Malibu real estate market under $8m, but it's a challenge to find such deals. Most finished Broad Beach homes for sale range in price from $10m to $30m depending on the square footage and more importantly, the width of the lot.

Russia's economy unexpectedly grew in the fourth quarter before the full effect of the country's currency crisis took hold.
Gross domestic product expanded 0.4 percent from a year earlier after a revised 0.9 percent gain in the previous three months, the Federal Statistics Service in Moscow said on Wednesday, citing a preliminary estimate. That was above the median estimate for zero growth by 11 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Full-year GDP rose 0.6 percent in 2014, the service said, confirming its first assessment in January.
The economy of the world's largest energy exporter was grinding to a halt before an almost 50 percent crash in oil prices and the ruble's worst crisis since 1998 brought Russia to the brink of a recession. Sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the European Union over the conflict in Ukraine cut off access to international markets and stoked capital outflows, forcing authorities to respond with spending cutbacks and an emergency increase in the benchmark interest rate in December.
"The economy is gradually entering a recession," said Vladimir Tikhomirov, chief economist at BCS Financial Group in Moscow. "It's difficult to say when a reversal will happen. I expect that it may happen in the course of the coming three to six months."
A "one-time burst" of consumer demand in late 2014 may have supported growth, according to Tikhomirov.

The Festival of Murals is a program produced by the Festival of the Arts, hosted by the Wayne County Chamberof Excellence and sponsored in part by the Wayne County Tourism Bureau, Richmond Historic Depot District and Richmond Furniture Gallery in Richmond, Indiana. The program is a series of art activities that will include a juried art competition of murals placed on exterior walls all throughout Wayne County, Indiana during June 15 through August 15 of 2015. Approximately, ten juried and selected artists will paint murals on pre-selected walls. Other festivities may include receptions and other activities involving artists and the community. Awards will be given for the best juried-artist murals and the general public will be able to watch their creations! The program began in 2010 and to date, 24 public works of art have been created throughout Wayne County, Indiana.
For more information contact email@example.com or 317-696-7349
Juried Art competition
A call for artists will be sent out locally and nationwide to attract qualified, highly skilled artists. Artists willsubmit images of their past work along will resumes. A qualified panel of judges will select top artists. Once the artists are selected they will be matched with walls that will be selected through a similar process of submission and judging. To make the competition attractive to artists, awards of $5,000, $3,000 and $2,000 will be given for winning murals of first, second and third places. To make it more attractive for non-local artists, a residency will be offered by providing lodging to selected artists who live more than 85 miles away from Wayne County. The selected artists who do not win the top cash awards will receive $1,000 stipends.
Once the walls and artists have been selected, artists will submit their designs for their designated wall and the public will be invited to a reception to view the designs and meet the artists. These designs will be on public display for approximately one week before the execution of the murals begin.
As part of the competition, artists will be required to attend receptions to meet the public and sponsors.
Community activities
The general public will be encouraged to attend most of the artist related activities. Wayne County adults andyouth may be invited to participate in voting for their favorite murals. Cards will be provided and each person will be required to go into the business or public space where the mural is located and get the FOM card stamped. Then, they will vote or rank their favorite murals and submit the card for tallying at designated locations.

A "Tour of Murals" brochure and web presence will be developed which will showcase each mural and the wall they are on for future tourism promotion as a unique marketing niche and community/visitor enjoyment. It is a goal to an estimated 10 murals and have at least one mural in several of the small towns and Richmond, with the intent of repeating this event annually to create a myriad of murals in all towns over time.

Buckingham Palace guardsman questioned after girl dies in chiminea explosion
A BUCKINGHAM Palace guardsman has been questioned by police after a teenage girl died of severe burns after a chiminea exploded during a party.
Lisa Jones, 19, was stood next to the chiminea at the home of soldier Ryan Nightingale, also 19, when petrol was poured over it - causing it to erupt into a ball of flame.
The pair are believed to have been in the early stages of a relationship.
The flashback from the chiminea, an open fire garden heater, set fire to Miss Jones' clothing and despite attempts to smother the flames, she suffered full body burns.
She was able to walk to an ambulance but her condition deteriorated in a burns unit at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester.
Miss Jones, from Llanfairfechan, North Wales, lost her 11-day battle for life on Wednesday.
Today, it emerged Grenadier Guardsman Nightingale, also 19, who regularly patrols Buckingham Palace and is thought to have taken part in Trooping the Colour, was questioned under caution.
However, police are treating the incident as a tragic accident and are referring the matter to the coroner.
The tragedy occurred at 10.30pm on June 21 when former hairdressing student Miss Jones was visiting Grenadier Guardsman Nightingale at his family home in Chorley, Lancashire, whilst he was on leave from his barracks at Aldershot.
A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said that there was a party of up to 20 people in the garden when the tragedy took place.
They said: "It seems someone had put fuel for a car onto the fire and it had sparked back in her face.
"She managed to walk to the ambulance and she only had a mask on her face like a cooler.
Lisa was a bright and bubbly girl who was popular with both her classmates and her tutors
"My understanding is that Ryan and this girl weren't even in a steady relationship. It was more like a first date thing, Ryan was off work for a week and she came up on the Monday and then it happened on the Friday.
"I met her on Tuesday and she seemed lovely, and that's the type of girls Ryan goes for."
The neighbour added: "Even when she was screaming in pain she was saying thanks to me for rushing in."
Lancashire Police confirmed Miss Jones was standing near to a chiminea in the back garden of the terraced house when petrol was poured onto it in an attempt to relight the fire.
A police spokesman said: "It appears an accelerant was poured onto the chiminea and the lady was standing close by when it went up.
"We are satisfied this was a very unfortunate accident. A 19-year-old man from Chorley has been interviewed under caution but was released while police conduct further inquiries into the tragedy. A file has been passed to the coroner."
Her family said last night they were "devastated by the tragic loss of their beautiful daughter and sister".
Anita Lewis, hairdressing salon manager at Coleg Llandrillo college, where Lisa was a student, said: "Lisa was a bright and bubbly girl who was popular with both her classmates and her tutors. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time."

Michael & Donna were young childhood sweethearts and then parted ways shortly after high school graduation. They each led separate lives until a mere 25 years later Michael ran into Donna; and their romance started right up where it left off! They shortly married and honeymooned in the Finger Lakes.
After visiting some wineries, Donna & Michael decided this would be the perfect 'New Way of Life,' running a winery together. They figured working together would be a fabulous way to make up for lost time!
In 2000 they bought the winery property, and turned their life's mission into learning how to start a winery---Michael was already an accomplished winemaker for the past 25 years.
Fast forward to 2008 the Pompous Ass Winery opened. Both Michael & Donna are whimsical; which they wanted to portray in their theme. As you can see the picture above, they are posing with 'Sir Jackson' the handsome character also known as 'The Pompous Ass.'
Michael Lucent purchased this house in 2011
Last year in 2011, two house flanking either side of the winery property we put up for sale. Michael & Donna decided to purchase both to protect their investment; which now begs the question as what to do with these two houses?
After some deliberation, they decided to renovate and use them for weekly rentals; after all, they live in a tourist area and they are located right on the Seneca Lake Wine trail.
Every detail was by their design, having the importance of both convenience and comfort as their top priory. A house fit for a pompous ass was their motto; which is why they lovingly named the house 'Sir Jackson House.'
This is such an enchanting house to gather because of the way the floor plan is laid out. you enter into a bright and cheery expansive living room with plenty of seating and a large picture window facing the east side of the lake mountain view.
to the right is a large welcoming kitchen that can accommodate a seating of eight; has all new appliances and even a larger picture window which spans across the entire kitchen.
This house is the perfect gathering house for families to get together for holidays, birthdays, & summer vacations!
The Sir Jackson House is located along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. There are dozens of wineries just minutes away. The entire Seneca Lake Wine Trail has well over 35 wineries, and the closest is The Pompous Ass Winery located right on the property.
Watkins Glen State Park is a must see and a hike along the gorge is breath taking.
Watkins Glen International Raceway is a pleasant 25 minute drive.
There is also a Mennonite cheese factory/dairy 5 minutes away, where you can taste and purchase cheese of all types, right where they are made.
The Windmill Farm & Craft Market is a large Mennonite craft mall with 200 shops located on Rte 14A between Dundee and Penn Yan, approximately 25 minutes from The Sir Jackson House. Open every Saturday 8am to 4:30pm April through December.
There are many local artists which display their fine works of art in two galleries on the main street in Watkins Glen, as well as in some wineries as well.
Pompous Ass Winery features Robert O'Niell exclusively from the O'Neill Art Gallery.
Corning Museum of Glass is an absolute must see! Located about a 45 minute drive from Sir Jackson House. See the world's largest collection of glass art; glass-making demonstrations and the opportunity to blow your own glass!
Horse back riding at Painted Barr Stables in Burdett NY, less than 10 miles from Sir Jackson House
only a 12 minute scenic ride to the other side of Seneca Lake.
The house is centrally located with many things to do and see. It was nice and clean, other than stove burners. We will certainly book again if traveling to finger lakes!
The house was more than big enough for the seven of us. Everything was very clean and the house is well located for visiting the area. Great experience!
We rented this house for a week while up at Watkins Glen for a driving event one weekend, stayed with family to do some sightseeing throughout the week as well. Plenty of land to park a racecar with trailer even and a few regular cars more too. That said, back to the house - had everything we would need for a family stay in or sleep in vacation. We had 3 kids all found the house like being at home. Again, attentive owners! Thanks!
We stayed at this house for 4 days. Our family consisted of 5 adults, 3 children. We were in NY for the solemn occasion of bringing my father-in-law home for the last time. We stayed in the Sir Jackson house and felt totally at ease. The children enjoyed watching movies on the wifi enabled tv and the adults enjoyed the comfortable outdoor chairs while sitting on the front of the house enjoying the view and the breeze.
The owner, Michael Lucient, came out right after our arrival and unlocked the full bath door that the maintenance guy accidentally locked. He was very cordial and accommodating.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house.
Definitely stay there again!!!!!
Rented the house for 3 couples and one of the couple's adult son (who did not mind the bunk bed) - it was very spacious, very comfortable and very convenient to Seneca, Keuka and Cayuga Lakes as well as the town of Watkins Glen. We had no issues at all. The winery even accepted a suitcase from United that did make the connection for 1 of us who had to fly in. The picture of the living room doesn't show the 3rd couch. There's enough seating for everyone.

Decimal degrees 45,8178; 13,3448
The red circles indicate the areas that influence the AOT
We have just continued the measurements made by the previous 4th class. Infact the measurments started in September 2011, we have replaced our school mates since September 2012.
We compared AOT data with:
The results are shown in the following graphs..
Days are numbered from 1 (1st of October) to 61 (30th of November)
This time we also tried to compare AOT with wind speedand satellite data. We tried to take measurements at same time of satellite overpassing (Aqua)
Wind speed: from www.eurometeo.com
Satellite data: from Nasa:Giovanni - Interactive Visualization and Analysis
It should be noticed that Satellite measures AOT at 550 nm while we measure it at 505 nm.
AOT-P: no clear relation.
AOT-T: no clear relation.
AOT-% H: graphs evidence the same behaviour
(infact aerosols are also made of liquid droplets)
AOT-wind speed: high wind speed results in low AOT and viceversa
ANOMALIES: very high values of AOT have been measured on 18th and 19th october. A possible reason is a fire in Venice province, at a distance of about 100 Km from our site.

Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump has hit back at reports he hired an underage model to pose naked to promote his vodka line.
The Apprentice producer was accused of using a 17-year-old girl to serve drinks at a Super Bowl party for his alcohol brand Trump Vodka last month (Feb08) - wearing nothing but coloured body paint.
Website TMZ.com reported Chanell Elaine Hallett was photographed working as a nude hostess at the party, and was a week short of her 18th birthday at the time. But Trump representatives have insisted that the girl was not working at the party - accusing her of turning up to the event uninvited and adopting the same guise as the rest of the hostesses as a publicity stunt.
A spokesman tells TMZ.com, "Trump Vodka outsourced the models through an Arizona-based promotional modeling and marketing agency and neither party was aware of the underage hire. All precautions were taken to ensure all service staff was of legal age, and we do intend to investigate the issue further."
"Given the circumstances, we can only guess that she crashed the event to seek publicity for herself." (LR/WNWCZM&WNWCNA/JC)

the 1.4 is NOT significantly sharper. even lower down. as i mentioned, my experience with it is that its colour and contrast is better which may give the appearance of being sharper but that is not resolution per se.
with both the 50mm f1.8 and the 85 f1.8 the most common apertures i use are f2 and f4. both are a little soft at f2, (as i would expect...its basically wide open), but there is nothing wrong at all with the images. remember that there are very few lens' out there that give you very sharp images right out of the box at their widest aperture.
in my opinion the most common mistake people have is a misfocus and or motion blur. the reason i say that is becasue firstly, f1.4 or f1.8 is a very shallow dof, so its hard to nail the focus point right on the money. people are misfocussing the point they want, (usually the eyes), and then say the lens is soft.
secondly, shooting at f1.4/ f1.8 for alot of people is due to low light which means slower shutter speeds. whihc brings subject movement into play and also lens shake into play. especially for the 85mm. i find it quite difficult to shoot the 85 at anything less than 1/60s. imo, it has something to do with the balance of the lens on the camera and the fact that you cant get a good hold on it cos its so small cos i can shoot the sigma 150mm at 1/60s quite comfortabley without any visible shake.
the last 2 points i will make on this are very subjective. #1: people pay a shitload for a 1.4 so they aren;t about to say a lens that costs a thirs of the price is anywhere near as good. for many people not as sharp means not as good. they fail to understand that sharpness is only 1 factor is a lens. how many people do you know that spend that much on a lens will say its crap ? not many. #2. this is a numbers game. there are far more 1.8's out there than 1.4's so i would suggest that there will proportiontly more people complaining about the lens cos there are just alot more of them out there.
here are some samples for you using the 50 or the 85 at f2

The panel/splash comes from Marvel Tales #182, which itself was a reprint of Amazing Spider-Man #42 by Stan Lee, John Romita and Sam Rosen.
The first panel is a one page splash, bursting with colour and topped with the legend "The Birth of a Superhero!" seared into the page in yellow type against a red background. The remaining 3/4 of the page are taken up by a shot of Spider-Man swinging away from a bank as he clutches a brown holdall emblazoned with a $ sign (they were out of bags with LOOT or SWAG on them). Below him on the sidewalk, denizens of New York look on in shock and horror ("Then…he is the menace people said he was!").
The sole caption on the page explains that none of this is an imaginary tale or a dream, that this is Spider-Man clutching that snazzy brown holdall. This caption is directly addressing the reader, fostering the conversational style so prevalent in silver age Marvel titles. Given the title's vintage one's inclined to believe its claim that this isn't some trick or visual sleight of hand. Retcons and reboots were foreign notions at this point. As a child, I had no frame of reference for these concepts anyway. I believed that panel, I bought into what it was daring me to do. Buy this comic. Turn the page.
To anyone else looking at this panel, it may not seem to be anything special. But the combination of words, images, the portability of the medium, time and place mean that no two initial experiences with a comic will ever be the same. I can open this book (I still have it) and remember the shop it was purchased in. I remember taking it off the shelf, flicking it open to that first image, the expression and pose of that guy in the dapper green hat/suit combo, the webbing and the sense of motion on the page. I remember Rhino's rampage later in the issue, the climactic fight with John Jameson and the closing page as Mary Jane is revealed in the last panel. Others will remember something else. This is the power of the opening panel, the power of comics themselves.
Few people can physically go back to the source of the things they love. The origin gets lost to the mists of time, shrouded in half truths and guessing games. I can remember the first film I ever saw (King Kong) but can't remember the opening scene or where I saw it. Comics are different. They're our myths, our past and future bound in paper. They present larger than life characters dealing with fantastical trials and tribulations and succeeding. They're our daily struggle writ large, magnified tenfold and projected onto canvases of coloured ink and paper. Taken at their core they teach us about morality, guilt, redemption, self-sacrifice and the very best qualities the human spirit has to offer. They show us the flip side in their villains, the effects of corruption, narcissism, selfishness, and naked aggression. They teach us right from wrong, selflessness from selfishness, good from evil. They tell us that no matter how far we've come, how far we've changed, how low we feel, things can and will get better.
Peter Van Buren once said that "Some images remain like scars on my memory" and that's as true of comics as it is anything else. Sure, someone else will remember different images from this issue, different story beats, different details. But it all starts with that opening panel. It serves as a time machine, the beginning of an invisible thread through Marvel continuity, comics history and our own personal history. Opening Contracts are markers for our personal journey through comics and life itself.
They're our scars, our battles and our initiation into life and the medium we all love.

What is Elbit Systems?
Elbit Systems is one of Israel's largest security and defense firms, specializing in military electronics, surveillance systems, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones) and homeland security systems. It supplies the Occupation military, navy and air force with a variety of equipment, and has profited greatly from Israel's numerous attacks and assaults on the Palestinian and Lebanese people. Gaza and southern Lebanon in particular serve as testing grounds for Elbit's weapons and technology, as it continually develops and enhances its products based on the expertise gained by the attacks on the people in these areas.
Elbit and its various subsidiaries contribute directly to two of the most insidious facets of the occupation: the indiscriminate assaults on civilian populations, through the provision of UAVs and other military equipment to Occupation forces; and the ever-tightening ghettoization of the West Bank, through the provision of surveillance and electronics systems along the Apartheid Wall and settlements.
Like all Israeli firms operating in the military technology sector, endless war and occupation create valuable marketing opportunities. Elbit UAVs, for instance, can be sold on the global market as "battle tested" devices, significantly increasing their appeal and leading to their adoption by a number of international militaries. In the same vein, experience gained from the building and maintenance of the Wall in the West Bank directly contributed to Elbit winning a contract to provide technology for the US-Mexico border wall.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Elbit's primary UAV models are the Skylark and the larger Hermes models, the latter of which can be reportedly outfitted with two missiles. Drones, in addition to their use for scouting and tracking targets, were used in some of the more horrific incidents in the 2006 war on Lebanon and the 2008-2009 war on Gaza. They are also employed for extrajudicial killing. The high number of civilian deaths cannot be said to be accidental, as the UAVs are equipped with highly advanced optics that allow the remote operator to see the details of an individual's clothing, and to clearly distinguish between civilian and combatant.
In the 23-day assault on Gaza alone, missiles fired from drones were directly attributed to the killing of 78 Palestinians (29 children), and wounding 73. .Some instances of UAVs being used to attack civilians include:
January 3: 15 Palestinians were killed and 30 were wounded when a drone fired at the Martyr Ibrahim al-Maqadma Mosque, where they were praying.
January 14: a total of 27 Palestinians, 6 of whom were children, were killed in a series of UAV strikes.
January 18: At 8:30 am, hours after the ceasefire allegedly came into effect, a drone fired two missiles on the Amai area east of Beit Hanoun, killing an11 year-old girl and her mother.
An investigation after the war also found evidence of a new type of weapon being fitted on the unmanned drones, designed to cause maximum injury. It explodes with enough intensity to rip a person into pieces, while large numbers of tiny sharp-edged metal cubes embed themselves deeply inside the body.
In one instance on January 16, 2009, six members of the al-Jarah family were killed instantly when they were fired upon by this new missile as they were having tea in the courtyard outside their home.
Palestinians are not the only population upon which offensive UAVs are used. During the 2006 war on Lebanon, which killed 1,200 people and injured 4,500, UAVs were used to commit numerous attacks on civilians.
On July 23, 2006, a missile fired from a UAV hit two Lebanese Red Cross ambulances in Qana that were transporting wounded individuals. Six ambulance drivers and three patients were wounded in the attack.
Also on July 23, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a van carrying 17 people from Sh'aito family who were fleeing their homes in al-Tiri. Three family members died and 14 were wounded.
On August 11, 2006, hundreds of civilian cars gathered from Marja'youn and the surrounding villages to flee northwards from the fighting. Two UNIFIL armored personnel carriers escorted the convoy. Near the Beka" Valley, an Israeli UAV fired on the convoy, killing seven people and wounding 32.
The assault on Gaza was by no means the first time in which UAVs were used against Palestinians. Over the last several years, they have become a key means in extrajudicial killing. From September 2000 until June 2008, 745 Palestinians were murdered in this fashion, including 233 bystanders (71 of whom were children).
In September 2006, for example, a drone fired at a car in the al-Junaina neighbourhood, killing two people and injuring 26 bystanders, including 5 children.
Other Military Equipment
Technology for Lizard laser-guided bombs: According to a war crimes report done after the bombardment of Gaza, many fragments of laser-guided bombs were found on streets, in school playgrounds, in hospitals, and in people's homes.
MARS handheld thermal imager and target acquisition system: Used by Occupation ground troops in close combat and urban warfare scenarios, such as the Gaza Strip, where 82% of those who were killed were civilians.
Falcon sighting device: According to the Golani Brigade, a unit which has been using the Falcon for some time, the sight has "led to a noticeable improvement in accuracy and thus killing power by the average rifleman." The Golani Brigade is notorious for its horrendous treatment of Palestinians; it has inflicted countless civilian casualties since it was formed in 1948. It was involved in the 2002 massacre in the Jenin refugee camp, has perpetrated invasions and assassinations in Gaza since 2003, and was involved in some of the heaviest fighting in Gaza City during the recent assault.
Elbit and the Apartheid Wall
Security systems manufactured by Elbit and it's subsidiaries have been integral in the creation of Apartheid Wall across the West Bank
LORROS surveillance cameras are developed by Elbit and its subsidiaries and incorporated in electronic detection fences and for the Wall in the Jerusalem area, as well as around the Ariel settlement bloc.
Elbit also develops un-manned ground vehicles, which are used to help patrol routes along the buffer zone.
Finally, the TORC2H system is designed to enhance border patrol activities by collecting data and disseminating it to troops, is installed in a central command centre, facilitating remote surveillance of specific areas along the Wall.
All of this contributes to the Wall, which is primarily means of land theft, annexing land and vital water resources. Together with the settlements, military zones, ditches and bypass roads, it will de facto annex nearly 50% of West Bank land, and divide the territory into six ghettoes.
In particular, Elbit technology is being used at the Wall and settlements around Jerusalem and aid in the sealing the city off from the West Bank.
Global War Profiteering
In 2006 Elbit systems American subsidiary Kollsman Inc. was award-ed a contract to participate in the construction of the US-Mexico border wall,which will extend across California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Elbit will contribute to the "virtual wall", installing its Border Control and Management System (BCMS)which will control all border movements.
Elbit has also been successful in selling avionic technology internationally.South Korea, Brazil, Colombia, Turkey as well as several other European and Asian countries are among the largest customers. In2008 the firm made serious inroads in Turkey, signing several massive contracts.
The export of UAV technology has also figured prominently into Elbit's profits. Tried and tested on the people of Palestine and Lebanon, these drones have found buyers across the globe. Some of the larger customers have been Turkey, Australia and a number of European countries. Drones are employed extensively in the ongoing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
A key component for UAVs are manufactured for Elbit in the UK. UAV Engines Ltd (UEL), based near Birmingham, has stated that it manufactures the engines for Hermes 450.
Elbit Around the World
USA: The US Department of Homeland Security selected Elbit to be one of the primary firms involved in building its wall along the US-Mexico border.
UK: Elbit was awarded £800 million to begin a joint venture with Thaïes UK to develop a new UAV for the British military. Also, engines used in the Hermes 450 are manufactured by a Birmingham company.
Australia: Since 2005, Australia has deployed the Skylark IV in Iraq, which is one of Elbit's unmanned drone models.
Poland: Elbit received a $3 million order from the Polish Ministry of Defense to equip Polish army vehicles in Iraq with anti-IED devices.
Turkey: In 2005, Elbit and Israel Aircraft Indus-tries won an estimated $150 million contract to supply UAVs to the Turkish military.
Canada: In 2006, Canada made an emergency purchase of at least five of Elbit's Skylark mini-UAVs for deployment in southern Afghanistan.
Brazil: Elbit and Brazil have signed several contracts worth nearly $190 million in total.
Slovenia: The Slovenian government selected Elbit to enhance its Armored Vehicle Program.
Romania: Elbit was awarded a contract to supply unmanned turrets and electro-optics systems valued at approximately $15 million.
Colombia: In July of 2006, Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer selected Elbit to supply systems for the Colombian Air Force.
France: The Skylark I UAV was sold to France in 2008 for "counter-terrorism" purposes and border security.
Netherlands: The Netherlands Ministry of Defense selected Elbit to supply the Royal Nether-lands Army with advanced Battlefield Management Systems, to be installed in tanks, armoured vehicles, and others.
South Korea: In December of 2007, Elbit was selected to supply the Korean military with the Skylark II UAV.
Elbit's Subsidiaries
Elbit has many subsidiaries around the world, most of which are also heavily involved in the security and defense industries.By placing their focus on lucrative military deals with various countries, these subsidiaries have helped to establish Elbit's position as one of the world's largest war profiteers.

The Chemical Brothers
The Salmon Dance
The Chemical Brothers, fresh from the success of Number 1 album 'We Are The Night', release 'The Salmon Dance' featuring Fatlip as the second single on 10th September 2007.
The Salmon Dance' is the perfect messed-up nursery rhyme, with Fatlip of Pharcyde fame talking through the lifecycle of a salmon, all over an inebriated beat that is one of the most different and quirky tracks Tom and Ed have ever produced.
Video directors and long-term collaborators Dom And Nic, who directed the MTV Award-winning video to 'Believe', are currently working on a much-anticipated new animated video for The Salmon Dance. Look out for more news on this soon.
It comes backed with an amazing remix package, with the Glimmer Twins, Herve and Crookers all giving it their magic touch. Also featuring will be 'Saturate' in its ultra-rare original form, 'Electronic Battle Weapon 8'. So far this has proved a huge live favourite and underground club hit having been distributed to DJs earlier this year.
In reaching this milestone, Tom and Ed join an elite group of British artists who have achieved this feat including Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Oasis. It also represents a record for a dance act.
Following headline sets at Glastonbury, the Roundhouse and across Europe, The Chemical Brothers continue their most successful tour to date by adding an extra date at Brixton Academy this December due to phenomenal demand. See dates below for details. Between now and then they'll be headlining the likes of Bestival, Creamfields and Fuji Rock, as well as playing a huge show in Trafalgar Square as part of a Becks Fusions/ICA event on 9th September.

GTX 660 OEM specifications revealed, same as consumer version?
Ryan Martin / 5 years ago
If the GTX 660Ti was still too expensive for you then you'd probably be interested in what the GTX 660 has to offer. The non-Ti GTX 660 is the next card down in the GTX 600 series. Speculation based on Nvidia's GTX 660 OEM product listing, as seen here, suggests that the GTX 660 will be the fifth card in this generation to be based off a GK104 chip. So far we've had the GTX 690, 680, 670 and 660Ti all derived from GK104.
As with a lot of Nvidia OEM products, the final retail version is very similar. The GTX 660 appears to be based on GK104 with 2 SMX units disabled. The CUDA count sits at 1152, with a GPU clock of 823MHz, a GPU boost of 888MHz and a 5.8GHz memory clock. Meaning it has both less CUDA cores than the GTX 660Ti and lower clocks. Overclocking could counter some of the lost performance but the lower CUDA count means it will always be a tad slower than the GTX 660Ti.
The 192 bit bus gives 134 GB/s memory bandwidth and this time 1.5GB and 3GB cards are the options instead of the 2GB and 3GB on the GXT 660Ti. The GeForce GTX 660 retail could be launched some time in September and there is no guarantee that it will match the GTX 660 OEM in any way.

My personal involvement with the GB polo squad has remained very much as a squad member to date, being the third choice goalkeeper and named the reserve for the latest games. I am making improvements all the time and have been heavily involved with all training camps, at home and abroad. I am fortunate enough to be able to train on the south coast with my home water polo team Worthing, based at Splashpoint and complete my strength and conditioning programme at Worthing Leisure Centre.
My other involvement in the sport at club level saw me represent Bristol Swimming and Water Polo Club in last year's British Championships, lifting the trophy and taking home the gold medal. My current British Water Polo League side Invicta also managed to earn promotion this season back into division 1 and taking our place back amongst the top 8 sides. I am also the head coach for the south east regional boys teams across three different age groups U19, U17 and U15.
Goals for this year:
- To make my international debut
- To start the qualification for the 2016 European Championships with a positive result

I'm trying to learn how to write Use Cases.
(I'm an experience code-writer, but I don't have much experience with formal product specification).
I've been reading books, tutorials, even took an academic course...
Unfortunately, they all focus on silly "toy" examples (like "Elevator" or "Withdraw money from bank" )...
I feel I'm missing a lot of info before I can apply this to complex "real world" projects !
Just to demonstrate, consider a Use Case for "withdrawing money from the bank":
The "toy" Use Cases are usually 5-10 lines. At best, they'd do some validity checks ("exceptions" table).
In the real world, a *precise* description could be 200 lines... it might involve: Communication between banks / branches; Special permission to exeed overdraft limit (it happens in my country); Moving money between saving accounts and checking accounts (which might have complex rules of its own), etc...
I was hoping to find a tutorial that could answere "real-world" questions such as:
- Should my Use Case describe all the subtle details, or should it be kept short and readable, even at the price of missing some details ?
- Are there guidelines for breaking my 200-line UC into various sub-UseCases ? What's the recommended size for such sub-UC (kind of like the way programming books recommend that java methods don't exceed 20 lines of code... just a rough estimate, but it's something to start from)
These are just example, to demonstrate why a 10-line example doesn't prepare me to the real-world...
So, could anyone please recommend a *realistic* tutorials (books / web sites), that with real-world, complex examples ?
Thanx very much
1) A customer wants to make a withdrawal from the checking account. They have enough money in their checking account to cover it. They get the money and a receipt.
2) A customer wants to withdraw money, but they don't have enough to cover it. They have not obtained special permission to exceeed the overdraft limit. They are told that they need to get permission, and they don't get any money.
3) A customer wants to withdraw more than their balance, but they have obtained special permission to do so. They are given their money and a recipt.
And so on. Each situation is its own use case; you can implement them one at a time.

And that is a pretty key idea to what makes use cases a viable tool. Each individual use case should describe something of value to the business or end user, something your boss, customer, client, etc. would be willing to (at least conceptually) pay for, receive delivery on, and walk away. I find that helps me to avoid having use cases for things that are too specific or fine-grained (e.g. the "login" use case, which absolutely isn't a use case unless your client is somebody like the NSA). Technical issues need to get resolved, but use cases aren't the swiss army knife for addressing all requirements issues.

We have been working essentially the same use cases through three implementations over 10 years now, and they've gotten pretty crufty. A few cautions: Don't get them too big or too formal. It's easy to get a fancy template with lots of verbage that doesn't contribute to capturing requirements. Avoid complex includes and extends relationships; they are not subroutines or abstract objects. Only use them when a word processor is the best way to communicate a requirement; we have lots of text describing things that would be far easier to read in a spreadsheet.
By now I'd look hard at agile practices like stories and user acceptance tests to capture requirements instead of use cases. If you have the option to replace use cases with something else you'll get lots of ideas right here.

Yeah, kinda hard to follow any kind of process that differs from what your boss says. I always love silly dialogues that follow the behavioural dynamic "X is a Y because by fiat I declare X is a Y, even if X really isn't a Y, but now I can tell other people we have Y". Just like watching news stories about federal politics. ;-)
Setting aside organizational politics (which of course you never really get to do, but let's pretend for all of 30 seconds) and focusing more on "can we think of ways to get even better at what we do than we are now, because not getting better would just be sad?", I tend to have my doubts about something being called a use case if you couldn't choose when you were going to implement it, and the customer/user couldn't feel empowered to alter the priority or eliminate it from the work to be performed during some phase. Use cases are a tool, and if neither the user nor the developer has much power over how they are used, they start to sound like a tool with a lot of rigidity, and hence reduced value. I'm not arguing against having good requirements, just against the metaphorical equivalent of using the wooden end of a hammer to pound in nails.
My reason for mentioning the specific case of login is that it has two characteristics that raise immediate concerns, particularly when you are dealing with abstract use cases.
1. At its simplest level login is arguably a near-unavoidable technology artifact, not far removed from stuff like plugging in the computer and booting it up; it is rather on the critical path for many projects. As such mention of it *in* use cases could make sense but then it would be hard to remove from *any* of the use cases initiated by user activity (ignoring refactoring duplication out of use cases by using use case inclusions). I'd cringe at the idea of being on any project team that was so constrained that they wouldn't implement a login because it was only mentioned as a step in a use case instead of having the political clout of being labelled as a use case all on its own. Just like I would figure my boss really expected me to implement persistence mentioned throughout the use cases without having an explicit "persist the data" use case.
2. Login is "technical" speak, not "business" speak, and it talks about one very specific activity - using some kind of form or dialog or prompted sequence of inputs to enter in information to get "logged in". It says nothing about business processes whatsoever, and that is bad - it really misses the whole point of having use cases. In reality login is one small piece of the larger cross-cutting concerns around authentication and authorization. My concern is that a login use-case shoves people immediately towards a particular implementation instead of doing the appropriate level of information gathering to figure out what is really needed for authentication/authorization. AA is going to appear in bits and pieces scattered across multiple use cases, it rarely would be partitionable the relevant issues into a single use case. It is a very small and direct step from a login use-case to thinking of AA as a single widget to implement, when in non-trivial systems nothing will be further from the truth. AA is the classic aspect.
When something is called a use case but in practice doing so shoves in you in the wrong direction during design, that seems like getting less value from a methodology just so folks can say they follow the methodology. Not implying you don't realize that, it just sounds like your boss has drifted a bit in that direction. I'd rather just hunt for ways to get more value from a methodology than put energy into psyching myself out with terminology labelling games. There is an unfortunate tendency in any adoption of a methodology to shove all the square pegs into round holes.
You can work for a boss that calls everything a use case, and you are definitely stuck with that. You can also (depending on the boss) work with them to make a better development process over time. I'd rather be optimistic and hope for the latter!

Quite a lot of interesting stuff happens between the time you enter your userid & password and the system is responsive and ready to run. We needed some place to document these and the login flow worked fine.
Regarding "the whole point of having use cases" we may simply disagree on what that is. Technical speak and business speak don't enter in our definition. We have use cases for web services we expose to the rest of the world that are pretty technical. The point is to record requirements. The use case document has bi-directional links to the Rational Requisite Pro requirements database, which is our primary tool for tracking what has been built and tested. We got all this straight from Rational mentors. It's far from agile and I constantly argue to change it, but it is what it is.
We also had some problems with consultants staying up all night and coding things that were not in the requirements. Made everybody crazy. The rule about coding only what you can trace from the requirements was in response to that, and has probably lived about 9 years too long.
I'm not sure where "if you couldn't choose when you were going to implement it, and the customer/user couldn't feel empowered to alter the priority or eliminate it from the work to be performed during some phase." fits in. We use use cases as requirements docs, not engineering tasks. (That was a big change for us at one time!) We implemented most of login several iterations into the project and some parts much later.
Bottom line, I avoid language like "the whole point" or "absolutely not" because there are no absolutes or universal "whole points". It's all local.

I used to think that, practiced it for way too many years. Then I finally got a clue and realized that putting conditional qualifications on everything I said just allowed things to never change and definitely didn't make the projects any easier or the products any better. Now if I have reasons for thinking something is a really numb idea, I just say I think it is a really numb idea and why. Others can accept or reject my conclusions, both outcomes are fine with me. I just find that if one isn't willing to have a few random glimmers of faith in their own conclusions, everybody else is perfectly justified in thinking less of or paying less attention to those conclusions than the author apparently does themself. Continually self-apologetic or qualified phrasing makes for really tedious listening or reading. Your mileage clearly varies.
In this case, I accept your description of your process. I'm glad it worked for you. I just believe that as a common practice, as opposed to the specifics of your project, it sounds like something people do when they take another kind of requirements usage and jam into the term "use case", maybe because at some past point in organization history people got all nervous about the words "requirements" or "specification" so they re-labelled their documents. Your login system definitely sounded like it had some complexity, so for you it made sense to create a use case (much like my original example of somebody who would have a complex login activity - NSA). No law stopping that. My point was, and will remain - do you think *your* process for using what your organization terms "use cases" is the strongest process it could be, as in you would recommend to others that they try and adopt your way of using use cases? I'm digging for the anecdotes here and conclusions here, not to be an SOB but out of interest... are you saying if you were the boss or the customer you would use the process exactly the same way your boss does now?

That's exactly what i'm looking for - are there any books/sites that offer an intelligent discussion similar to the one in this thread... ?
It doesn't even have to come up with definite answers: If you consider the above "login" discussion, IMHO each side has some valid points... I could live with a tutorial that mentions the different approaches, even if it doesn't tell you which approach to take. It's still *way* better than those silly "Elevator" examples...
Thanx again.

Declaring something as "local" can become an easy way of excusing ingrained weak habits in an organization. Actually I'll put a pretty deep stake in the ground over this, because I think I'm very justified in believing that an important point is being missed here about use cases. Comes from having a memory going back far enough in the history of the particular issue.
Use case approaches, like CRCs, were an attempt to break or at least reduce a particular undesirable behaviour in development projects. The behaviour to be addressed was constantly using functional decomposition as the primary driving factor in software designs. Yes, folks wanted to capture good requirements, but use cases weren't the only option possible for that. Project success vs failure isn't just a matter of verbose traceable requirements, it is also a consequence of the analytical behaviours of the participants in the project, and use case approaches were trying to encompass that challenge too. Many slices of software eng were being re-cast at that time in an attempt to support the growing emphasis on object-orientation as the stronger design approach; use cases and CRCs were recasts of the requirements and analysis activities. Existing approaches at that time just weren't cutting it.
A couple of decades or more had clearly established functional decomposition as a weak approach. Dig back through the use case and OOD writings, and you'll find that there is a deliberate cautiousness about when and how to include technical artifacts in the requirements and analysis activities. The desire was to capture processes and interactions forming the meat of the functional requirements with the best signal-to-noise ratio you could before getting sucked down into the mire of non-functional requirements. The typical solution was to start with a leaner version of the use cases that focused on functional (as in "has-value-to-the-actors") issues with a tolerable balance between abstractness and specificity (talking about specificity of process and interaction).
Whether you captured non-functional requirements in a different type of documentation, or if you followed a refinement process to your original abstract use cases to weave in the non-functionals, the understanding remained that the formost challenge was to be sure the business needs were understood and organized in the use cases in a way that wouldn't thwart attempts at providing a decent object-oriented decomposition of the system. When people don't "get that", and yes sometimes you are better served by making a point intead of waffling about it, you open your project up to the old risk. The risk is that you just fall back into the old patterns of tackling software projects via functional decomposition, just with a document template entitled "use case".
And you are perfectly welcome to disagree about how to get the most value out of use cases, but I don't see the value add by ignoring history that informs us about what the original point of the approach was. And if you think about it really hard - when was the last time you worked on code that actually had a good object-oriented design? It isn't the default in software development by a long stretch. Functional decomposition is the normal anti-behaviour, as the assorted racks of useless J2EE so-called patterns (and books) clearly attests - functional and layered designs all over again, just coded in Java. When OOD happens it is because the people focused more on using an approach, agile or otherwise, to try and make it happen. I've yet to see a situation where waffling made it happen.

My point was, and will remain - do you think *your* process for using what your organization terms "use cases" is the strongest process it could be, as in you would recommend to others that they try and adopt your way of using use cases?
Our process is absolutely not optimal. I brought it up first in this thread as some cautionary lessons - places you do not want to visit.
I hand't thought of use cases in contrast to functional decomposition before. When I wrote mainframe CICS in COBOL my requirements / design phase was writing the user manual first. It was awfully close to use cases plus UI designs so the transition to use cases and separate UI docs was quite natural. I guess the last time I thought of FD in requirements analysis was in batch systems.
If you want to get to absolutes, "the whole point" of all this is delivering software quickly and accurately, not producing artifacts to any particular definition. (My company seems interested right now in how many documents they can add to the process so the sheer volume will knock over a CMM auditor.) The main thing flowing through our development process is information. I'm trying to get our team to focus on communicating effectively, eliminating document sign-off and hand-off, using the best possible artifact when necessary. Our current use cases suck pretty hard by this measure - we're in release 9 of a very large production system and a one-line requirement change is hard to spot in a 10 page doc. I'm very interested in the idea of writing acceptance tests instead of requirements docs. Executable tests written by customers rock.
I still try to avoid absolutes in forums like this. There are a lot of things that are better for one team and worse for another but if I knew one thing that was best for all I'd be rich & famous (like Scott )

Just going for a drink? Head to the terrace.
Chicago Cut brings big steaks, chops and seafood, cooked impeccably by chef Jackie Shen. Add in great cocktails and a bustling room and this spot is a winner. [Eater 38 Member]
If youre looking for an alfresco steakhouse experience, its tough to beat a seat on Chicago Cut's expansive patio. http://tmout.us/maA24
Need a power breakfast to kick-start the day? Come here for their insanely thick Breakfast Sandwich or incredible New York Strip & Eggs. And do NOT skip the hash browns.
Lobster and black truffle risotto?! It's completely worth it.
Amazing service!
IPad wine list is great fun for those who like to see what they are ordering
The majority - who at our company lunch outing ordered marbled filets 'medium', had them come out closer to well done. Maybe they were 'off' because of the lunch rush. We'll give them another shot.
Along the Chicago River looking east. The seating is a bit tight at tables, booths are spacious. Great drink & wine selection via iPad app. Steaks & sides are great! Go! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu)
The bone-in filet mignon is great. Try the chocolate berry tart for dessert.
The only place I will ever eat beef and splurge on the good wine (with help from the iPad app). Must try!
The thick breakfast sandwich, layered with scrambled eggs, bacon, white cheddar, tomatoes and arugula pesto, is excellent. Seasoned hash browns, broiled tomato and asparagus spears balance the plate.
WOW! Where do I begin: outdoor seating, in-house aged steaks, truffle scalloped potatoes, top-notch service by Stephen (request him!!!) What more can be said for a fabulous dining experience???
Excellent cuts of meat
Always PERFECT!
great place and view at the river
Steak. Any of them but I always get the smallest filet. Add the truffle scalloped potatoes if you want to indulge. Great outdoor seating on the river with heat lamps so you can enjoy into the Fall.
Absolutely amazing!! Great service! Arturito is the best bartender! Amazing view on the terrace !! Highly recommended !!
The star at this sleek power hub is the prime Bone-In Ribeye. Dry-aged 35 days and butchered onsite, the rich, slightly mineral-flavored cut arrives at your table with the perfect caramelized crust.
