text: Sony Unveils Mobile Projector For PS4 Supports only 720p, Partial Specification and Features Revealed, plus costs as much as PS4 itself. One of the problems with the PS4 is when you are throwing a nice birthday party or another type of social event, or just want to kick back and watch the latest movie at home, your tiny little 42" LCD screen might look nice at 1080p and all that, but imagine if you could fill an 8 foot wall with your own big-screen movie palace like setting, would you not be the king of the barrio at your next party event or special evening with your kids and loved ones. Well, Sony has decided to come to your rescue and give you a way to hook up your PS4 to an official projector, and make your PS4 the central thing for your entertainment needs at your next social event, by projecting up to 120" screen at amazing 720p and mobile! Personally, I don't understand the need to make it mobile with battery, when for life's sake, the PS4 itself is not mobile and needs AC power to run, I would have thought this would make more sense if their was battery mobilized version of PSVitaTV released in the near future, well maybe that is Sony's idea, but Forbes reports the price of this new PS4 accessory is going to be $350 and releases in October, which is almost what the PS4 console sells for, so is it really worth it, so what do you think about the device called 'MPCL1'?

Just because you are getting older doesn't mean you should expect weight gain… loss of muscle tone… and decreased health.
It's just a fact of life, and there's nothing you can do about it, right?
After all, there are so many things working against you:
- Our ability to burn more fat, by simply keeping everything the same doesn't work anymore.
- The older we get the more our hormones change.This can have a big impact on weight gain, mood and energy levels.
- Everyone around us seems to always need something. How in the world are we supposed to put ourselves first?
- Relaxation is to far and few, we feel entitled for a reward, no matter if it is a sweet treat, eating out, or a great tasting cocktail.
- Health issues run in our family history so that leads us to believe that we are more prone to them
Christy, 42 Lost 30 lbs & 6 Inches!
**Results May Vary from Person to Person
"Avril and The Get Started Losing Weight Program were instrumental in helping me turn my body into what it is today. I had tried everything, both diets and exercise programs, to no avail, nothing seemed to stick.
Then I came across The Get Started Losing Weight Group and met Avril. Going through with the program with Avril as my personal coach made my weight loss journey simple and attainable and look at the results . She helped me understand a healthy diet plan along with an exercise plan that I could handle (only because she helped me with the emotional part to) it worked! When I look at this photo, I almost can't believe the transformation"
Feeling Entergetic & Sexy Doesn't Have To Be Impossible!
If You Are Still Reading This, I Am Guessing You Have…
Gone on crazy deprivation diets that force you to give up most of the foods and beverages you love, like sweet treats, bread, pasta & the beloved relaxation cocktail only to realize you're miserable & cannot do this the rest of your life.
Grown tired of making special meals for yourself & making the regular version for your family. Just because YOU are "dieting" doesn't mean that they want to eat bun-less turkey burgers.
Tried working out, but you really don't have extra time to spare to go to the gym. Plus the workout at home selection was designed & taught by skinny, fit, little 20 something year old's that have no clue what you need and where you should start.
You've tried to follow along with "extreme" workout videos presented by (and designed for) women in their 20s… and it didn't take long for you to toss these videos aside to collect dust!
Losing weight and keeping it off has to be do-able in YOUR life!
I am guessing a few of the points above made you shake your head and say "uh-huh"… but here is the truth, you're not alone!
It drives me insane when I see women go through the same thing that I did. Trying EVERY fad diet, diet pills, and ridiculous extreme workout programs. Only to do what? Gain the weight back and feel like a failure, not to mention the money wasted. Hard earned money wasted on short term "fixes" they do not stick with and even compromising their health.
You're busy, with a lot of commitments and responsibilities.
The only way you are going to lose weight and keep it off for good is if you use a way in which you lose weight that is realistic in your everyday life and easy to stay with it.
Not cutting hours out of your day to workout
Not having to give up all of the foods that you love
Not worrying about where the willpower will come from
No need to make separate meals from what your family is eating. No need to drive to a gym to get in a good workout. No need to ever doubt yourself and your abilities to succeed!
No thank you. You just want to lose weight, LIVE and look AMAZING!
7 Day Free Trial – PLUS 14 Day Full Refund – Money Back Guarantee.
Fortunately, Now There's a Simple Way to Lose Weight, Improve Health and Energy, and Get the Attractive Body You Deserve…
My name is Avril Baxter. I lost 97 lbs and have kept off for 7 years all while working full time, raising 3 kids and a husband.
I maintain a slim body year round, not because I have superior genetics (I taught my mother to do the same thing) or because I spend endless hours in the gym because I ONLY workout at home.
I've been training women in their late 30's, and 40s and 50s who had previously tried all sorts of fad diets, extreme workout programs, and other gimmicks that didn't do anything but relieve them of their time, money, energy and confidence.
I knew that these women had tried diet after diet… and workout program after workout program. And they had run into the same problems with every single one of them:
They took up to much time, they were boring and unrealistic, they were overwhelming, and they forced you to give up things that you love the most.
Those things aren't a recipe for getting and keeping a healthy, attractive body. They're a recipe for misery and failure!
I knew I had to do something about it. These were hard-working, talented women who deserved to look great and feel wonderful about themselves… instead of feeling like they were "stuck" with bodies they weren't proud of!
So I tapped into my own needs on my weight loss journey, coupled with lots of research…
… and finally, we developed a simple and realistic weight loss program known as the The Get Started Losing Weight Program which allows women just like you, to get the slimmer & attractive bodies and achieve vibrant health and energy– without exhausting workouts, starving themselves, or resorting to dangerous weight loss pills and powders!
And best of all… I've created a way for you, to lose weight, keep it off and start seeing results now, even if you, even if you've struggled with excess weight for years!
**Results May Vary from Person to Person
This Is Exactly What You Will Experience With The Get Started Losing Weight Program
Look Better in Your Clothes
Feel More Energized
Have Better Relationships
Look at Life Differently
Feel Control
Have Better Sex
Look Healthy
Feel Powerful
Have More Success
This Is What You Get With The Get Started Losing Weight Program
The program addresses the 3 E's of transformative weight loss. Achieving your weight-loss goals has never been easier.
Motivation & Will Power
The emotional E is the key to your success so be inspired to discover the new you.
The key to a successful weight loss program is the emotional mindset of the participant. The program first and foremost focuses on giving you motivation and will power to succeed. It does this in 3 ways:
- You will be motivated and inspired to stick with the plan with an inspirational video from me to watch at the beginning of each week.
- I will send you a daily will power booster to help you stay focused and sustain your will power to overcome temptations so that you succeed in your weight loss journey.
- Every week will end with another video where I help you reflect and celebrate all your accomplishments that week to keep you on the right path for success.
7 Day Free Trial – PLUS 14 Day Full Refund – Money Back Guarantee.
80% of your weight loss will come from how you eat. It is proven that you have to change your long term eating habits in order to keep the weight off. Typical diets fail in the long run because they are focused on starvation & depravation and are not sustainable for life.
This program is about rewiring your approach to food. I believe in educating you how to make smarter choices about every day foods and changing habits. There are no special foods to buy or No obscure ingredients. Just real meals for real life!
This is NOT a short-term, fad diet but a lifestyle shift.
Simple & Realistic Plan
56 Days of Transformation
Not in shape? Hate exercise? We get it! This is the only exercise program that starts at a basic, beginner level and gradually increases the intensity over 8 weeks. This isn't about becoming a swimsuit model, but about feeling sexy & loving the reflection you see in the mirror.
30-minute routines you can do at home or where ever you are. No intimidating gyms or expensive, intense exercise equipment needed.
This is real life, I guide you through each workout explaining the move and motivating you to keep going through the entire workout.
Real People Just Like You. Achieving Real Results.
This program is for busy women who are sick and tired of failed diets and ready to achieve the body that makes them feel great and look fantastic! Daily MOTIVATION to keep your willpower high and your confidence soaring!

"Problems with wisdom teeth and bells palsy"
About: Royal Stoke University Hospital / Accident and emergency Royal Stoke University Hospital Accident and emergency Stoke-on-Trent ST4 7LN
Posted by Steph1990 (as ),
I am 22 years of age and knew that one day I would need my wisdom teeth removing as they were growing horizontally, about 4 years ago I had X-rays at my dentist in Sheffield where my parents live and was told to contact my dentist as soon as they started hurting.
I moved to Stoke in 2008 to study at University, in November 2011 I started finding that they were causing me pain, I went to my dentist who took more X-rays and confirmed that they would need to be removed. And referred me to the hospital. Two days later I woke up with Bells Palsy (I had previously had this when I was 16), I went back to my dentist who was fantastic, he told me to go to a&e if the signs and symptoms had not gone or got better after 3 days, they hadn't so I went a&e as instructed.
I got shouted at by a nurse in a&e who pretty much said I was wasting their time - not very reassuring and who was extremely rude to my fiancé who had come with me. I was upset, distressed and furious that a nurse acted like she didn't care what was wrong with me and although she may not have been able to help me she could have been nicer to me during my difficult and scary time.
I went back to my dentist who was also furious at the way I had been treated, he sorted out a specialist appointment with the Maxillofacial department in the central outpatients, they confirmed it was Bells Palsy and gave me tablets - nothing said about the teeth!
Had 2 MRI scans which showed nothing and 3 missed appointments by the specialist - again not very reassuring when waiting for results and help regarding my condition. Luckily during this time my Bells Palsy gradually got better. I had recieved an appointment specifically for my wisom teeth, but as a brand new patient - in the same department!
When I had the final call to say that my appointment had been cancelled I explained how much pain I was in regarding my teeth - ibuprofen and over the counter pain killers were not helping. She explained that booking another appointment would not help the situation and that she would let me know if any cancellations came up.
I got a call at the end of January to say I had an appointment regarding my teeth 3 days later, I went to this appointment thinking that it would something would've done about my situation - well the doctor who very rudely didn't even introduce himself was aggressive and made me feel like he wanted to get me in and out as quick as possible - again not reassuring. He explained that it wasn't my wisdom teeth that it was my jaw - he knew this without even looking in my mouth - have doctors developed new psychic powers?
He explained that there is no point in having them removed (even though the dentist said they needed removing) because there it may not help - I asked if he could do anything for the pain and he said no and that I had to rest - rest my jaw? I work in a call centre making calls for around 7 hours a day, I cannot afford time off work!! He was rude and I actually wanted to cry he made me feel awful, all this and he hadn't even examined my teeth.
He then gave me a document about the 'syndrome' I now apparently have (temporomandibluar joint dysfunction syndrome) which was shoddy and the grammar was terrible, one example; "if you have a lot of joint pains and especially if you difficulty opening your moth", it doesn't make sense, and moth? I have joint pains in my moth? It's just not good enough.
I pay my taxes - some months over £500 for what? To be told my illness, my pain, doesn't matter? That nothing can be done? Although I experienced good dental treatment - I paid for this!
I will now be visiting my dentist in Sheffield and hoping that they can refer me to the local hospital there, I can assure you, I do not want to be treated at Staffs Uni hospital ever again, every second there has been awful and I feel that my health and well being has not been taken into full consideration. I will be taking this matter further to get my point addressed.

BK Reeves on Writing
The Open Face of Heaven
by BK Reeves
Available from The Wild Rose Press
Just what the doctor ordered... After losing her parents, Milly Blakely cut her hair and pretended to be younger to get on the Orphan Train. She's come a long way to find a new family. Her heart hungers for someone to love. When she spies a frail and sick-looking young woman with a frowning, yet handsome man at the Orphan Train's stop in Addison, Kansas, she knows she can help these people and can't wait to get started. But can she love these hurting people without getting hurt herself? Rad Powell's wife, Frances, is dying. He gives in to her wish for a companion and takes in Milly Blakely. Milly is a blessing and so much more than a mere companion during Frances' last days. After the loss of his wife, he realizes how much this young woman has changed his life and touched his bruised heart. Can he find a second chance at love?
And now it's my pleasure to welcome BK back to Just Write!
Writer's Voice by B.K. Reeves
I've been writing a long time and have had some truly outstanding mentors. My parents enrolled me in school when we moved to Kent County in October 1938. When my mother went home, the first grade teacher, after she discovered I was writing short stories, and writing cursive at that, promoted me to the second grade. By the end of the day, the other students were calling me Smart Kid, and not in a friendly way. My mother went to school and made it plain to everyone that I was not, repeat not, to skip grades, explaining that she wanted me to remain with my own age group.
The school itself was a gigantic red brick building that housed classes one through eleven. That's as far as Texas schools went at the time. Right away, I volunteered to be school reporter, and that's how I became acquainted with the editor of the local newspaper, a Mr. Johnson. (Not his real name.) I took him the school news and gave him a piece I'd written about moving from a small country school in Oklahoma to this large Texas school. He complimented me on my voice and told me, when I asked, that voice was how a writer sounded coming off the page. He explained that voice has to do with style and the way a writer expresses this style. He was very kind to me, never seeming too busy to visit.
Mr. Johnson taught me so many things. He said a writer should write honestly, with the simplest words possible. He told me to remember my reader and his/her expectations. He explained suspension of disbelief. Meanwhile, he was printing some of my think pieces in the paper, but only after he stringently edited them, scrawling across one piece he rejected Where's your voice here? He encouraged me to read, so I set out to read every book in the Jayton School Library.
The library was a narrow hall-like apartment directly in back of the study hall, with a tiny window where students could come and confer with the librarian. By now, I was officially part-time student librarian (at age eleven), and it wasn't unusual for a size-huge football player to amble up to the window and ask me to recommend a short, easy-to-read book for a book report he had due. Others did the same, and I became a mentor to anyone approaching that window.
I had many other duties at school but my bliss was complete when I could work in the library, helping students of all ages. Teaching as I did for many years in the Continuing Education Departments at San Jacinto Central and South, and at Gilruth at NASA, I mentored hundreds of students. I can't begin to tell you how much I learned from them. At the same time, I can't forget my first mentor, Mr. Johnson. He was great and is ever green in my memory.
Thanks, BK!!! Congrats on the new release!!!

BK - congrats to you! I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on this one. I love the whole Orphan Train angle.
AM - I'm also here to tell you how much you've inspired me to get back to writing. In the meeting last night, I said I was writing, which is true. What I did not say was how excited I am about it. This time around I'm doing some things differently and for the first time ever, I feel I have a pretty strong grasp of my story and charters, and can tell my tale in the manner I want, but was beginning to doubt I had the ability to do. This time around, I've finally, at long last, discovered a methodology that is working for me. Keep plugging away at this Blog, and I promise to visit more often.

Accountancy specialist IRIS Software Group emphasised its claims to market leadership for cloud-based applications with the first public showing of its OpenPayroll product.
Announced last week, IRIS OpenPayroll is a new, entirely web-based implementation that sits within the growing family of IRIS "Open" products.
Along with the new payroll system, the Open family now includes OpenBooks - a rebadged version of the the FreeAgent web accounting system, the OpenSpace document portal, OpenTax, OpenAudit OpenPayslips and OpenWebsite web building services. All of these applications are linked by IRIS OpenPortal, a digital backbone that sits within the firm's desktop software and ties it to the cloud services, explained IRIS CEO Phill Robinson at the company's IRIS World 2013 event in Twickenham last week.
"Payroll is a big bit of functionality," he said. "Today is about trying to paint a complete picture of our cloud strategy. You can see how...

- Category: Auto Warranty
Peoria Ford Beau Norton Peoria Ford Takes Advantage of Single Mom and Grandma and anyone else stupid enough to trust them! Peoria, Arizona
A/C goes out in June. We take it in. They want 100.00 paid before they will look at it. Our warranty states no deductable if you go to Peoria ford for service. Then the service tech says we only have silver coverage.
I go home get the paperwork show it them but now they state "if" it is the blower that is not covered.
They havent looked at it yet! And, that is not what our warranty states! It does not list the blower as an uncovered part. I also ask that they clean the windows to get the construction overspray off, this is the second time we have requested it, as there was construction going on when we bought it and cannot get the windows clean.
The service guy siad it was from my sprinklers. I tried to tell him to talk to the other service person Jennifer that knew about it before and promised on our next service visit to fix it, but he refused. They will not honor the service agreement that my Daughter paid over $2000.00 for!!!
I had also asked them to look at the brakes because there was some sort of noise, The service guy wanted over $500.00 to replace the back brakes, yet they advertises $88.88 to do so which includes turning rotors if necessary. Cost me $200.00 at Meineke.
As I am pulling out all of this paperwork to write this up, I see that they pulled a fast one on my daughter. They wrote this sale up for December, but she bought it in January??? Why would they do that? Oh and Beau Norton swore he would take care of this and won't answer a phone call or email!

Why do lib-women want to look like men?
Liberal women are ugly and men never ask them out.
They figure if they look like men then they can ask other liberal women out.
They want their tweeter twiddled and they aren't gonna take no for an answer.
Women who want to look like men, whether in ecclesiastical government or in civil government, are always trouble for women in the church or in society who want to be women of Biblical/Traditional standards.
All I have to do is see a photo like this woman's or a Janet Napolitano, or others like them, and I KNOW ABSOLUTELY that the future for my daughters and granddaughters will be more difficult.

Groundbreaking kicks off on October First Friday
A traditional groundbreaking complete with hardhats and shovels will take place at 4 p.m. on the new performing arts center site on October 6, 2006. The public and invited guests will gather at 17th and Wyandotte to watch the earth move. Guests will also hear brief remarks from Julia Irene Kauffman, Mayor Kay Barnes and design team leaders Moshe Safdie, Richard Pilbrow and Yasuhisa Toyota.
From 5 to 8 p.m. the action moves to the old fire station at 19th and Central (and a nearby parking lot) to become part of the First Friday festivities. You're invited, and here's what you can expect:
- A tenth-scale model of the concert hall is being built in the old fire station at 215 W. 18th Street. The public will be invited inside to take a sneak peek at this model under construction which will be used to test acoustics and perfect design concepts. The model is no tiny treasure: it will be 15 feet high and 18 feet wide.
- A stage will be erected in the parking lot at TakeTwo Productions at 1906 Wyandotte to accommodate the steady stream of entertainment that will take place throughout the evening. Enjoy musicians from the Kansas City Symphony, dancers from the Kansas City Ballet, a bit of drama from Lyric Opera performers. And that's not all, as representatives of other arts groups are being lined up now.
- Meet the Ambassador volunteers and learn how you can become involved.
If you're at First Friday on September 1st, keep your eye out for Ambassadors in special blue t-shirts. They'll be drumming up interest in the groundbreaking activities, handing out invitations and showing some off-the-wall-video projections.

Leaders Of 54 Nations Remember V-E Day Neo-Nazi Violence Underscores European Peace Ceremonies
Mon., May 8, 1995
Leaders of 54 nations that fought on both sides in World War II signed olive leaves on Sunday in a ceremony of reconciliation marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe.
In Germany, commemoration of the Allied victory over the Nazis was underscored by the rumbles of rightwing extremism. A synagogue was set on fire and neo-Nazi disturbances left one youth dead.
But V-E Day ceremonies across the continent brought a mingling of joy, sorrow and hope.
The ceremony in London began with the soaring bugle blasts of Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man," written by the Jewish American composer in 1942 as a rebuff to Nazi racist ideology.
Prince Charles, appearing with his estranged wife Princess Diana for the first time since Christmas, watched children lead politicians to flagpoles in Hyde Park for the signing of the olive leaves.
The children then entered a model globe, which began to revolve, releasing hundreds of doves into the air.
The leaders included Vice President Al Gore; Helmut Kohl, chancellor of the now democratic Germany; and King Mswati III of tiny Swaziland - among the Commonwealth countries that rallied to Britain's aid.
Earlier, the leaders joined in thanksgiving and prayers for reconciliation at St. Paul's Cathedral, which still bears scars of the combat that ended half a century ago.
The royal family, led by Queen Elizabeth II, attended the service at the cathedral, the towering symbol of London's resistance to German bombing. Its bells pealed Sunday across the capital.
In brilliant, unusual sunshine, Britons and tourists perspiring in T-shirts and shorts pressed against barriers to watch processions of limousines.
"All the other countries (in Europe) were taken by the Germans," said Paul Hastings, a 12-yearold Scout visiting London with his troop from Cornwall in southwest England. "We were pretty lucky ours wasn't."
Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey, who led the service at St. Paul's, asked for prayers "for the healing of memories, for those who suffer as a result of war, for communities where past wrongs and violence persist."
Catholic, Greek and Russian Orthodox and Methodist ministers each contributed to a litany of reconciliation.
At the Vatican, Pope John Paul II implored mankind to erase the "culture of war."
"A humane and just society is not built on violence and the force of arms," the pope told tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square.
In the eastern Dutch city of Apeldoorn, 200,000 people came out to thank their Canadian, British and American liberators.
The 6,000 Canadian veterans who marched in the parade were besieged by flowers, kisses and handshakes from the jubilant crowd.
In Austria, tens of thousands of people gathered at the site of the Nazi concentration camp at Mauthausen to honor the dead.
The main V-E Day commemorations move to Paris and Berlin today and to Moscow on Tuesday.
Kohl returned Sunday night to Berlin for the dedication of a Jewish community center and permanent exhibit in Berlin's partially reconstructed, golden-domed New Synagogue.
Berlin Mayor Eberhard Diepgen, speaking to 4,000 people who gathered under umbrellas outside the synagogue, called the golden dome "a symbol of hope and selfunderstanding for this city."
But the audience had to pass through airport-style metal detectors, and heavily armed police sharpshooters watched from nearby rooftops in what authorities said was one of the most intense security operations ever mounted in the city.
Arsonists had set fire early Sunday to the storeroom of another synagogue, in the northern city of Luebeck. Firefighters prevented it from spreading into the red-brick building's main prayer hall.
79-year-old parachutist dies
Also Sunday, a 79-year-old Army veteran died in Moscow when his parachute failed to open as he practiced a commemorative jump to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, his son said.
Rolland Duff, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, had returned last summer to France to reenact the parachute jump on Normandy Beach as part of the Allied invasion in June 1944.
Duff, who lived in Fort Myers, was invited to do the same for V-E Day celebrations Tuesday in Moscow, his son Tim Duff said in a telephone interview from Edina, Minn.
"He really loved the camaraderie," he said. "It kept him young."
Duff said his father was making a practice jump with five other veterans of the 82nd Airborne and two Russians in preparation for Tuesday's events. President Clinton was scheduled to attend the Russian ceremonies.
"That's all we really know," Duff said. "We're waiting for more."
Prince, princess kiss
Although they mostly ignored each other Sunday, when they parted Prince Charles kissed his estranged wife, Diana, on the cheek.
The kiss, witnessed by their two sons and press photographers, was a rare show of affection between Charles and Di, who separated in December 1992.
Throughout the hourlong V-E Day ceremony in Hyde Park, the prince and princess exchanged few words and seldom made eye contact. Prince William sat between them.
At the end of the ceremony, Charles kissed William and Prince Harry goodbye. Then, he leaned across and kissed Diana, with whom William, 12, and Harry, 10, are spending the holiday weekend.

The year is almost coming to an end. With only one and a half months left for 2016 to end, here we list out actors and their characters on screen that made them the youth icons of 2016. Take a look –
Surbhi Chandna –
The actor plays the character of 'Anika' in Ishqbaaz. Although, you may laugh at the language that Anika uses most of the time in the show, but her character is a real inspiration.
As a lone girl in his family with the responsibility of her little brother, Anika can be regarded as the next gen independent girl.
Surbhi has also lent the kind of personality to Anika that immediately clicks with the female audience. Must say, Anika is another Zoya created by Gul Khan and the character is loved by the young generation.

car rental ERD
hi there,
i am doint the ERD for a car rental company. this company has got Branches all over Europe. If one branch does not have the requested vehicle, it will check its other braches all over Europe and if they do not also have the requested vehicle, it will ask a local hire rival for the requested vehicle.
i have drawn my ERD however, i am not sure it is the correct way to represent this senario. I was wondering whether it is possible to make the Branch recursive in order to describe that one branch is checking the other branch in the company.
another question is regarding to the vehicle and fleet, in my senario the company rent out both individual vehicle or fleet. I was wondering whether my erd is correct the relation between the vehicle and fleet.
many thanks
i look forward to hearing from you

Since in your described scenario, all branches are checked if the target branch cannot supply the vehicle, there is no benefit to using a recursive relationship. There are other benefits from a recursive business relationship though, so you may consider implementing one anyway.If it's not practically useful, then it's practically useless.

Norwich slow to assert authority
Norwich City 3 Gillingham 0
FROM dross to gloss in four minutes. Norwich City stayed top of the first division last night thanks to three goals in quick succession that killed off a defiant Gillingham team. After stuttering for more than an hour, Norwich suddenly began to strut and an evening that had threatened to undermine their promotion hopes ended up emphatically underlining them.
With the locals preferring to dwell on the previous home game — a victory over Ipswich Town — rather than Saturday's defeat away to Cardiff City, the mood inside Carrow Road was buoyant at kick-off. It soon clouded, the anxiety a symptom of how close Norwich are to a long-awaited return to the top flight, as well as a reaction to an indifferent display.

Volvo Car Group, along with a group of companies, has completed a research project on inductive charging for electric vehicles. Volvo has partnered with Flanders' Drive, the knowledge centre of the automotive industry in the Flanders region in Belgium, Bombardier Transportation and the coachbuilder Van Hool in this advanced research project to create technology for transferring energy through an electromagnetic field.
Lennart Stegland, Vice President, Electric Propulsion System at Volvo Car Group, said that there's "great potential" in inductive charging, also known as cordless technology. He divulged that they have determined its safety, convenience, and effectiveness through their study.
He added that so far, there's no common standard yet for this type of technology. This research will also continue and will assess how this technology can be used in its hybrid and electric car projects. An electromagnetic field is used in inductive charging to transfer energy between two objects. An induction coil creates an alternating electromagnetic field from a charging base station.
The portable device has a second induction coil that gets power from the electromagnetic field and converts it back into an electrical energy to charge the battery. While this technology has already been seen in several home appliances like electrical toothbrushes, it's not yet commercially available for the charging of electric cars.
Charging begins as soon as the car is positioned on top of a charging device. Stegland believes that this technology will boost the customer's acceptance of electrified vehicles. This project also covered inductive charging for cars and buses. The Flemish government has partly funded this project. The car used for this inductive charging project is a Volvo C30 Electric with a power output of 89 kW (120 hp). [source: Volvo]

Park reveals Hiddink snub
Park Ji-sung has revealed he snubbed Guus Hiddink's advice in order to join Manchester United.
Last Updated: 23/03/10 10:29am
Park Ji-sung has revealed he snubbed the advice of former boss Gus Hiddink to join Manchester United.
The South Korean star was the hero on Sunday as his diving header sent the Red Devils top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win over arch-rivals Liverpool.
The Old Trafford success puts United in the box seat to land an unprecedented fourth straight league trophy and manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been keen to praise the 29-year-old, who also netted in the win at title rivals Arsenal in January.
"He is one of our most effective players and he has been for a long time," said Ferguson of Park, whose winner against the Reds reiterated his ability to rise to the big occasions.
"He doesn't make a fuss about it but I wouldn't like to be without him these days."
Ferguson would have never had the chance to utilise Park's skills had Hiddink got his way over the Asian icon's future when he was in Holland.
The South Korea skipper's rise to prominence came from his time under the Dutchman at PSV Eindhoven but the former Kyoto Purple Sanga performer risked the wrath of his former boss by choosing to join United in 2005 for £4million.
"When I made my mind up for Manchester I felt that I had betrayed Hiddink," admitted Park, who followed his heart rather than Hiddink's counsel to stay in the Netherlands for another season.
"I knew that Hiddink wanted me to stay, so I found it difficult."

Today, Friday, March 17, is St. Patrick's Day, a worldwide celebration of Irish culture. Many know the traditions of the day, such as wearing green for good luck, but we thought it would be interesting to explore a bit more about how this special day is observed around the globe.
We turned to Cory Plough, M.Ed, Laurel Springs School's Social Studies Academic Department Chair, for more.
"St. Patrick's Day commemorates the death of St. Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland who tried to spread Christianity throughout the country," Plough begins. "It is also a global celebration of Irish culture."
Plough notes that the color green shows up all throughout Irish culture—even in one of its best known nicknames.
"Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle due to the large amount of rain and mist so it is good luck to wear green on 'St. Paddy's Day' as part of paying tribute to the country and culture," he says.
Some consider it a tradition to gently pinch those not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. According to WRAL.com, this tradition most likely started in America in the early 1700s, as those celebrating the holiday believed that wearing green made one invisible to the mythical creatures called leprechauns, and to pinch someone called attention to their visibility.
Another bit of green associated with St. Patrick's Day, also known as the Feast of Saint Patrick, is the clover. This symbol had deep meaning in Irish culture.
"Three-leafed clovers are native to Ireland and a shamrock is a common name for them," Plough explains. "It was chosen as a national emblem in Ireland since the three leaves can illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity."
Even though the holiday has roots in religious traditions, people from all over the country and the world participate in parades and parties commemorating the day. Plough notes that the holiday is in fact observed in many places, not just America and Ireland. He says, "St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world with Dublin often hosting the biggest celebration."
In Dublin, the occasion is celebrated beginning March 16 with a four-day festival featuring a parade, musical performances, walking tours, historical information sessions, and displays of artwork.
In Chicago, the Chicago River is dyed green on St. Patrick's Day as part of a growing annual tradition. In cities including Philadelphia, New York, Charleston, S.C., and New Orleans, lavish parades are held in honor of the holiday.
In Moscow, Russia, March 16 to 20 will see "Green March Fest," a celebration of Irish music and arts. In Berlin, Germany, from March 16 to 19, there an Irish film festival is being held.
That said, there are countless ways for Laurel Springs Students around the world to celebrate!
Are you wearing green today?

Redknapp was interested in signing the former Arsenal captain in the summer but a deal did not materialise, with the 33 year-old now heading to Manchester City from Inter Milan.
Spurs are still in the market for a central midfielder and have Brazil youngster Sandro as a long-term target - but targeting Vieira again was not part of Redknapp's plans.
"I was interested in the summer, very interested and he was keen to come to Tottenham at the time," Redknapp said.
"He showed a lot of bottle to want to play at Tottenham after being such a legend at Arsenal. That shows his character to want to take that challenge on.
"But it didn't happen because he got back into the squad at Inter Milan and it drifted. This time when he was available I did get some phone calls about the possibility again but we felt we'd moved on a bit from then and we were happy with what we had at the club."
Redknapp has no doubts about Vieira coping with the pace of the Premier League.
"I am sure he'll do well, he has a lot to offer," the Spurs manager added.
"He's a leader and a winner and a terrific guy. The motive is to get back into the France World Cup team. He could have stayed at Inter and taken the money."

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
(Page 3 of 8)
"For today's sailing," McNurlan begins, "there's about five or six basic knots that they use on a sailboat or even on a power boat. For example, one of the things sailors do for a temporary eye is tie a bowline." And as he speaks, he demonstrates. "So you take the bitter end and you tie it over the top. This is the bitter end down here. This is the working end. And you put a little loop in here. And you can use an old sailor analogy. The rabbit comes out of the hole, around the tree, and back into the hole." He makes three motions with the rope as he says this, and in about three seconds, he's made a bowline (pronounced BO-lin). "It doesn't slip, and you can change its size."
McNurlan has taken a length of rope and made it into something else. It looks like sleight of hand. Like an illusion. It looks like magic.
"They say, on a sailing ship, you have to be able to do it in the dark upside down."
And then, just as quickly as he tied the bowline, he unties it.
"That's the thing about knots is you have to be able to untie them," he says. "So you see this little piece going over the top here, you just roll that over, and it opens the whole thing up and loosens it. So no matter how tight it gets, you can keep working it loose and untie the knot.
"This is an overhand knot," he says, starting to tie again. "This is the one that people usually throw into a line when they want to put a knot in the end of it." He ties the knot in a flash. "Then you just take an extra twist in it, and come out, and it becomes a figure-eight knot." Another flash, another knot. "And then, even when this one gets real tight, you've still got that little loop that you can roll back and be able to untie it." Another flash, and the knot's untied.
"There's also the cleat hitch," McNurlan says, tying another knot.
"Besides your other knots, you've got hitches and bends," he says. "So if you're tying the rope to some other object, then it's called a hitch. Like you're hitching up your horse. And bends are tying two ropes together."
It's impossible not to notice McNurlan's hands. Thick, short fingers, abundant calluses, a map of wrinkles, big knuckles — so much character in those hands.
"This is a reef knot, which laymen call a square knot," McNurlan begins another demonstration, holding his strand of rope between his hands. "A reef knot is, when the winds get too strong, you reef your sail. You reduce your sail area by lowering the sail down and tying off a certain lower section of it, and you reset it so you can handle a higher wind without overpowering the boat. So they have lines that come out of the sail that you tie around the gathered material. And that's called reefing. You tie reef knots in the reef lines. And it's right over left, left over right, and you have the reef knot."
Although the rest of us might think of knot tying as a lost art, McNurlan says that the real lost art is decorative knot tying. "Sailors still use all these practical knots every day," McNurlan says. "But very few people remember how to tie the decorative knots anymore."
McNurlan shows off an elaborate piece of weaving that he's done. "One of the more difficult knots to tie is a star knot," he says, holding his own star knot in his hand. "It's just the way it's weaved. It comes back and turns and goes about maybe ten different directions at once. So once you get it all tied, then you have to work all the way through. A lot of the time, with knots, especially the decorative ones, you tie it loose, and then once you get it to where the knot's tied, then you have to go back through and tighten it up and cinch it down."
A finished Turk's head looks like a bunch of Princess Leia hairdos clustered in a ball.
"Knots are being developed all the time," McNurlan says, although he's never developed a knot of his own. "People are still looking for ways to deal with rope. And the one fascinating one that's just come about recently is called an icicle knot. Now, an icicle tapers to a point down at the end, and this guy figured out a way to tie a rope around a tapered object that will not slide to the point. Which is a very tricky thing to do. And I had someone show it to me, but I haven't learned how to do it."
McNurlan estimates that he can tie 15 or 20 different knots off the top of his head. Otherwise, he says he could use diagrams and be able to tie just about any knot there is.
"So, like I say, sailors couldn't read and they couldn't write," McNurlan says, smiling. "But when it came to rope, they really knew their business."
Does Anyone Write by Hand Anymore?
"When you're in there trying to make that perfect e, you can't be worrying about Iraq or whether the bills are going to get paid," Susan Hull says. She speaks quietly and slowly and has a slow quietness about her. "If you want that e to be correct, you've got to be sure that that stroke is correct. And you've got to be sure that when you get that gathering together — when you get those strokes meeting — if they don't meet perfectly, then it's not pretty. It's not calligraphy, by definition. And even if your strokes always meet, if the lines wiggle and waggle along the way, then it's not good. It's not calligraphy."
Hull, who is the proprietor of Ladybug Art Calligraphy Studio in Kensington, defines calligraphy as the art of beautiful handwriting.
