The activity of "Physical Chemistry and Nanotechnology of Interfaces" relies on pioneering work for more than 15 years in demonstrating femtosecond machining down to the nanscale of a broad variety of materials soon after fs-laser got available in the early nineties. Experience exists in top-down femtosecond laser ablation allowing micro- and nanomachining of 1D, 2D, and 3D structures in metals, transparent solids and biological tissues that cannot be made any other way. A special advantage is the unique possibility of congruent machining of highly inhomogeneous composite materials. Pulse durations (<80 fs="" far="" below="" the="" electron-phonon="" relaxation="" time="" in="" solids="">1 fs) provide the unique possibility to deterministically excite the electronic system by multi photon excitation resulting in unique precision in contrast to "conventional" fs-laser applications (>100 fs) where stochastic avalanche processes result in poor ablation qualities.
A novel optical setup coupling sub-60 fs-pulses into a high precision microscope will allow ultrahigh-precision processing. fs-pulses are necessary to avoid large heat affected zones (> 1µm) common with conventional ns-pulse lasers. Such non-linear phenomena can be exploited to reach supercritical intensities only in the focus of transparent bulk materials enabling laser direct-writing of 3D devices containing optical and microfluidic networks. This new approach to set up nano and microstructures can be applied to almost any transparent composite and functional material.
It was recently demonstrated that fs-laser-induced self assembly of nanostructures on solids opens a new approach to nano-structure surfaces bottom-up
Fs-Laser ablation of solids in liquid contact can be a process for synthesizing nanoparticles and nanotubes/nanorods Thus uniformly small particles precipitate in solution. Fs-Pulsed laser deposition can serve to transfer delicate polymeric and biopolymeric materials to any substrate (fs-Laser Induced Forward Transfer, fs-LIFT) as a microprinting process avoiding thermal damage in sharp contrast to conventional nanosecond technology in LIFT.
Electrochemical scanning force microscopy allows to investigate the molecular structure of double layers and nanomanipulate electrified interfaces.
Biolectrochemistry could be demonstrated on crystalline single layer proteins on electrodes in a longterm collaboration with the Vienna University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences (BOKU)
Functional Materials

New Quantum Phases of Matter
Motivation for this research is the quest to discover new quantum phases of matter and realize them in practical materials. Research is based on the recent discovery of "CePt3Si, the first heavy Fermion superconductor without a centre of symmetry". As a consequence of missing centrosymmetry in the crystal structure space and time inversion symmetries and gauge symmetries are broken. Unlike most superconductors, the absence of parity conservation implies that both singlet and triplet pairs coherently exist. Our NMR-data provide a striking confirmation of the coexistence of triplet and singlet pairs with a small coherence peak characteristic of s-wave superconductivity, slowly crossing over to a T3 dependency at low temperatures characteristic of line nodes around the Fermi-surface. Therefore we can classify CePt3Si is a broken parity superconductor, containing a coherent admixture of singlet and triplet Cooper pairs – a new quantum phase of matter.
The discovery of superconductivity in CePt3Si has thus lead to new physics and to a re-examination of our current understanding of these phenomena – it has opened entirely new directions of experimental and theoretical research. As new phases of matter tend to accumulate near a quantum critical point (or a quantum critical point submersed below the superconducting domain), it would be highly desirable to have more examples of parity-violating superconductors and study their NonFermiLiquid behaviour.
It will be our challenge in chemistry for the next years to design novel materials under these constraints, to find them in proper combination of elements and to characterize their properties.
The recent discovery of "the first Ge-based Skutterudite: Superconducting BaPt4Ge12 " connects research of strongly correlated electron systems with novel functions in thermoelectric materials.
Nano-structured thermoelectrica – Quantum dots and quantum wires
Our recent studies of skutterudites as well as strongly correlated f-electron systems based on rare-earth elements have revealed extraordinary high potential for thermoelectric (TE) applications. Remarkable materials are Kondo semiconductors and filled skutterudites both containing Ce- and Yb- ions with unstable 4f-electrons. In these systems, the 4f-electrons primarily define the entropy, while the s- and p-electrons carry the charge. Therefore, unlike in conventional semiconductors without 4f-electrons, giant thermopower of more than 150 μV/K concomitantly occurs with rather low electrical resistivities below 1 mΩcm. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity in filled skutterudites is unusually low due to "rattling modes" of filler atoms modifying the phonon spectrum. Particularly the reduction to nanosize of the material carrying the thermoelectric currents in quantum dots and quantum wires drives the system to a Luttinger Liquid promising a remarkable gain in the TE figure of merit.
These research activities for materials design exploiting the quantum-confinement will combine high level experimental expertise with Functional Density Calculations within various institutions in chemistry and physics of the Univ. Wien with the goal to provide the knowledge for novel high efficiency thermoelectric materials to Austrian industry.
Bioinorganic Chemistry
(Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Working Group Prof. Keppler)
Focus is on Bioinorganic Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Synthetic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Bioanalytics and Cell Biology, mostly under the aspect of the development of novel tumor therapeutics. There is spezial interest on the development and optimization of Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Clinical Molecular Imaging and Therapy. The group has successfully been contributing to this field for several years. There are two new therapeutics under clinical research which have been developed in this group.
Bioimprinting of Polymers and Sol−Gel Phases for Chemical Sensorics

Chair of Chemical Sensors and Optical Spectrometry,
Working Group Prof. F.L. Dickert and Prof. P.A. Lieberzeit)
The main goal of the group is to generate highly functional materials by patterning and structuring both surfaces and bulk materials for application in molecular recognition and bio-recognition. Templates for doing this cover the size range from 0.5 nm to 25 µm including e.g. small molecules, proteins, viruses, cells and pollen. Overall, our strategy is to substitute natural immunoglobulins and cells by artificial plastic replicas. The re-inclusion of molecules and bio-analytes is preferably achieved by a label free detection via high-frequency mass-sensitive devices with fundamental frequencies covering the range from 10 MHz to 1 GHz.
Pyrene imprint (template size 0.7 nm)
The smallest functional cavities generated by templating selectively incorporate small molecules from gases and liquids. An example for this are e.g. materials for incorporating pyrene (molecular size 0.7 nm), as shown in the molecular model.
A next step in size are viruses as templates reaching dimensions between 18-300 nm. Again, polymers for selective interaction can be generated and applied as the first rapid analysis tools ever for these species.
On the upper end of the size scale, materials incorporating e.g. yeast cells (5 µm) are accessible, as depicted in the AFM image below showing both empty surface cavities and others occupied by individual cells.
By our sensing strategies, even single interaction events can be detected, as seen in the red-coloured figure in red showing the frequency response occurring by incorporation of a single yeast cell.
Sensor response to a single HeLa cell
By developing our surface strategies we are now at the level to also detect IgGs as antibody by printing the antibodies into nanospherical structures which apply to our surfaces.

Synthesis of Nano-Sized Powders and Solders
(Department for Inorganic Chemsitry/Materials Chemistry,
Working Group Prof. Ipser)
Synthesis of Nano-Sized Powders of Intermetallic Compounds
Intermetallic compounds serve as alloys for special applications in an ever increasing extent. At the same time nano-sized materials with their particular properties are offering a wide field of new developments in materials science and technology. Thus research on the synthesis of nano-crystalline metals and intermetallic compounds is required. A key route is the decomposition of appropriate precursors, e.g. inorganic compounds, complexes or gels.
Our group has successfully synthesized nano-crystalline powders of GaNi3 and GaNi. These two compounds are the homologues of AlNi3 and AlNi, which are frequently used as high temperature and corrosion resistant super alloys, e.g. in turbines.
The first picture shows a ball-milled powder from a bulk sample of GaNi3. It has grey colour and can be removed from the paper without leaving traces. The same compound, synthesized via thermal decomposition of co-precipitated acetylacetonato complexes in reducing atmosphere is shown at the second picture. It is black and invades the fine pores of the paper. A similar effect can be seen at the last image. A glass vial, filled with the nano-sized powder of GaNi3 on the left: the glass is toned by the black particles in the micro pores of the glass (see also the borderline on the upper side, caused by the lid of the vial); compare with the clean vial on the right side.
Interaction of Sn-based Solders with Ni(P) substrates
Today's mass soldering techniques are highly demanding in terms of joint quality, reliability and cost. Along with further miniaturization higher lead-densities are required in less space, for which the so-called ball grid array (BGA) provides a convenient solution and can thus e.g. be found in mobile phones. Though simple at first sight, soldering is in no way a straight forward process with a chemical reaction taking place between the solder alloy and the contact material. In BGA assemblies the most cost-effective surface coating is done by a process called electroless plating, where an amorphous Ni-layer is autocatalytically deposited on Cu. As Na2HPO2 is used as a reducing agent, P is co-deposited in this layer. This Ni(P) layer is itself protected by a thin Au-layer resulting in the so-called electroless Ni-gold (ENIG) layer.
Knowledge of the chemical reaction for a certain combination of solder and contact material is essential, because the reaction product is a layer of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMC). Since the transition to lead-free solders introduced high Sn-containing solders, the research focus has shifted towards this IMC formation. These solders are known to form particularly large IMC layers which are detrimental to the joint quality.
During the reaction between such Sn-based solders and ENIG surfaces Ni-atoms diffuse via the interface to react with the solder and form Ni3Sn4 and/or (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 phases. This Ni out-diffusion leaves a P-enriched layer behind that crystallizes into Ni3P. All of the mentioned compounds are extremely brittle and make the joint vulnerable to mechanical shock. During the lifetime of the component it may be furthermore subjected to high working temperatures, which results in further growth and formation of additional compounds, e.g. ternary Ni-P-Sn compounds.
The aim of the current research project is the investigation of the ternary Ni-P-Sn phase diagram to provide basic material information on ternary phases that can be formed in a solder joint. Within the scope of this work new investigations in the limiting binary systems Ni-P and P-Sn are carried out, too.
In the ternary system the phase equilibria were determined at various temperatures between 200 °C and the melting range. Even if soldering is done at comparatively low temperatures it is necessary to investigate the full temperature range in order to achieve a consistent description.
Work on the phase diagram also revealed the existence of a hitherto unknown ternary compound, Ni21P6Sn2, that crystallizes in the C6Cr23 structure type well known from steel technology.
Experimental difficulties caused by the volatility of P have so far hampered the investigation in the Sn- and P-rich parts of the phase diagram. It is therefore desirable to enhance the experimental phase diagram information by semi empirical modelling. The required thermodynamic properties are investigated by calorimetric methods and by the isopiestic method (vapour pressure method).
Lead-free Solders for a Cleaner
Why lead-free solders?
• about 6 mio t scrap from electronics in industrialized nations (in 2000)
• about 200 mio mobile phones in use in the USA (in 2005) (which results in 65,000 t electronic scrap per year (including charging devices)
• about 315 mio computers discarded between 1997 and 2004, resulting in about 550,000 t of lead
Where would all that lead from the solders go?
• Possibly a lot of it would go into garbage dumps – and from there into the groundwater – and from there straight into the food chain …
Possible alternatives (currently in use):
• Tin-Silver (e.g. Sn-3.5Ag)
• Tin-Copper (e.g. Sn-0.7Cu)
• Tin-Silver-Copper
("SAC", e.g. Sn-3.7Ag-0.7Cu)
• ...
Development of new lead-free solders
• Search for possible high-temperature solders (with melting temperatures above 250°C)
• Tin-Zinc-X (possible high-temperature solders for the future;
e.g. Sn-9Zn-0.5X)
• Ag-Bi-X; Sn-Sb-X, Sn-Al-X, …
Development of new contacting methods
• Transient Liquid Bonding (TLB) Method
Current Research Topics (Examples)
Example 1: What happens if Sn-Ag-Cu Solders react with Ni Substrates?
• Phase equilibria of binary and ternary systems:
e.g. Ag-Ni, Ni-Sn; Ag-Ni-Sn, Cu-Ni-Sn
• Thermochemical data for binary and ternary systems:
e.g. enthalpies of mixing of liquid alloys, enthalpies of formation of solid intermetallic compounds, partial thermodynamic properties in the solid and the liquid state
• Calculation of optimized phase diagrams
Ag-Ni-Sn: isothermal section 700°C
Example 2: What happens if any Sn-based solder reacts with phosphorus-containing Ni substrates?
Example 3: How reliable are Sn-Ag/Cu and Sn-Ag/Ni solder joints?
• Tensile strength of model solder joints
• Shear strength of model solder joints
• Stress relaxation in model solder joints
-> In all cases appearance of a clear size effect ("Constraint Effect"), i.e. small solder joints are stronger but much more brittle

Khartoum - Minister of International Cooperation, Osman Ahmed Fadil said that the US economic embargo on Sudan, in the previous period, prevented Sudan's accession to the World Trade Organization.
The minister said, in Blue Nile TV interview, that the national dialogue, will of the people of Sudan and Sudan's leadership role in the Arab and African regions has played a major role in convincing the United States of the importance of dealing with Sudan and lifting the economic sanctions.
He stressed that Sudan has applied to join the World Trade Organization amid a large response from countries, indicating that join of Sudan represents new hope towards openness to the world and to achieve transparency and the rule of law and that the Sudan has the capabilities and experience that qualifies it to join the organization after presenting technical papers and prepared for matrix to keep up with international trade requirements.
He said Sudan has good relations in the mutual benefits with the countries of the African continent, besides that Sudan enjoys excellent relations with the Arab Gulf states and Asian countries, as well as trade exchange with Europe.
The minister pointed out that the secession of the south and the loss of oil has led to a significant impact on vital sectors, where the ministry faced that by preparing an emergency plans across organizations and agencies that deal with Sudan, praising the role of the UN organizations in Sudan and the Japanese organizations, along with the Turkish agencies and the State of Qatar, which played an important role in stability in the Darfur region.
On the Arab conference for reconstruction in Sudan, the minister said that the idea of the conference stemmed from Turkey meeting, where Arab states have agreed to support the Sudan, but the idea has faced pressure from the United States and stopped and that Sudan renewed the idea through the Assistant Secretary General of the Arab League, Dr. Kamal Hassan Ali, expecting that the conference be held in the coming months.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Origins Available: English, German
The ancestors of the name Wilden date back to the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Wilden family lived in one of the places called Wilton in Cumberland, Herefordshire, Norfolk, Somerset, Wiltshire, or the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire. Wilton, Wiltshire was originally called Ellandune. It was the scene of a battle between Egbert, king of the West Saxons, and Beorwolf, the Mercian king.
Wilden Early Origins
Essex where they held a family seat at Snaresbrook.
Wilden Spelling Variations
Wilden Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Wilden are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Wilden include: Wilton, Wiltone, Willton, Willtone and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Wilden or a variant listed above:

Ugh, Valentine's Day. I don't mean to be all "bah humbug" on this holiday, but it's been a rough one for me. Valentine's Day and I do NOT have a happy history. No, I'm not going to go there. It's in the past. Long story short, I informed Nate during our very first year together that we would NOT be doing the traditional seasonal thing each February. Don't get me jewelry and flowers and chocolates unless you really want to piss me off. Cliche much? If you think I'm the lone voice of dissent, think again. I know a ton of women who feel exactly the same way! So, dudes, don't buy into all those sappy commercials. Here's how to really rock Valentine's Day.
Pay attention. Remember that time around your dad's birthday a couple months ago when your girlfriend's cake flopped and she casually mentioned that she's always wanted to take a cupcake decorating class? That was a golden nugget of insight that you should have filed away for a special occasion such as this. All we really want is for you to notice and care about what we have to say. Playing off of those details and gifting accordingly will help you rock every single day.
Make us something. Dinner. A scarf. A photo book. You can paint hearts on a rock and we'll probably love it.
Get dressed up. It doesn't matter if you can't take us out. Fake it till you make it. Throw on your old tuxedo and light some candles. We're all suckers for a fairy tale. Muster up a little Prince Charming.
Hygiene. It feels weird that I actually have to say this, but I totally do. Take a shower. Throw on some cologne. Swish that LISTERINE. And for mega bonus points, whiten your teeth and flash those pearly whites at us! We use REMBRANDT Deeply White + Peroxide Fresh Mint toothpaste because it whitens teeth quickly with the enamel-safe ingredient that dentists use (I've learned the hard way in the past that not all whiteners are actually safe for your teeth, so choose wisely).
Share. Nothing says "I love you" quite like handing over something you truly care about. Your girlfriend will flip if you give her a spare drawer in your apartment or your childhood stuffed animal. It's like handing over a piece of your heart.
So how are you planning to rock Valentine's Day? You can start by getting a printable coupon for $3 off any two REMBRANDT Whitening Paste or Rinse products at HealthyEssentials.com. And for all you moms, this would also make a sweet/funny Valentine's Day gift and subtle hint for teenage sons. Just sayin. Never hurts to offer a little direction in the hygiene department, does it?
This post is part of the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® 2014 program by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. and The Motherhood, who sent me a box of products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are all my own, and I hope you enjoy them.

Coca-Cola Amatil supports women in drinks mentoring program
Coca-Cola Amatil is among a number of leading beverage companies supporting a new diversity initiative aimed at fast-tracking the industry's female talent.
It's Women in Drinks Council unveiled the new mentoring program in partnership with Serendis Leadership Consulting.
The program aims to bring together senior industry leaders of both genders, each of whom will be paired with a specifically matched female mentee from a different organisation.
"When it comes to diversity, as an industry we know we're well off the pace. We're significantly behind other industry averages when it comes to the gender diversity at all levels of management," says Shane Richardson, Managing Director of Amatil's Alcohol and Coffee business and a Drinks Association Director.
"This program is designed to help support women in our industry who aspire to leadership roles, while educating senior leaders and influencers in the drinks industry on the benefits, enablers and barriers to women in their organisations and in our industry as a whole."
As well as helping aspiring females gain new perspectives to advance their career and develop powerful professional connections and sponsors, the program will helps mentors, all of whom are decision makers in senior positions, enhance their awareness and inclusive leadership capabilities through reflections and participation in forums with their peers across the industry.
Following a rigorous matching process, mentees and mentors are expected to meet six to eight times on a one-to-one basis to engage in interactive workshops and facilitated group discussions.
"There are so many benefits for organisations who get the gender balance right. Diverse teams perspective-take more, communicate better with fewer assumptions and more explanations, and are more able to innovate. Putting in place programs that give our females the support and guidance they need is just one way we are working to achieving this," says Kerrie Dewey, Head of HR for Amatil's Alcohol & Coffee business.
As part of its initial one-year commitment, Amatil, owner of Grinders Coffee, will provide three mentors and three mentees for each of the two six-month programs taking place in 2017.
Participating in the initial program will be mentors Alex Nario, CFO of Amatil's Alcohol and Coffee Business, as well as Sally Byrne and Tobias Hoogewerff, Marketing and Sales Directors respectively.
Amatil's mentees will be Assistant Commercial Manager Danielle Theodosi, National Business Manager Sarah Hughes and Public Affairs and Communications Manager Nicki Drinkwater.
Applications are currently open for the second program, with an announcement expected later in the year.
Coca-Cola Amatil is one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of ready-to-drink non-alcohol beverages, alcohol beverages, coffee and ready-to-eat food snacks in the Asia Pacific region.

Mowbray issues Boruc warning
New Celtic boss Tony Mowbray has warned Artur Boruc he must perform if he wants to remain at the club.
Last Updated: 03/07/09 9:28am
New Celtic boss Tony Mowbray has warned Artur Boruc he must perform if he wants to remain at the club.
The colourful goalkeeper has found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the past for some his antics on and off the field.
Boruc's future at Celtic has been the subject of speculation with a number of clubs linked with the Poland international.
Mowbray has held talks with Boruc to inform him of his responsibilities and has called on the keeper to focus on the job in hand.
"I've had a good chat with Artur," Mowbray told the Daily Record.
"I was only watching last season from afar but from my conversation with him today I think he is aware of what he has to do.
"I try to base my relationships with players upon respect and I told him we have to have mutual respect for each other. He has to understand my job and I will understand his issues and problems.
"If he has any then he has to make me aware of them - there's no point in him keeping them to himself and me just judging him on his performance if there are other things going on in his life he needs to talk about.
"I also talked to him about his motivational levels and asked him if he is ready for another season. Is he ready to go again? He must be professional even if he has ideas in his head about moving on.
"If his ambition is to move to one of the biggest clubs in the world then they ain't going to come knocking if he's not performing week in, week out."

Strategic Referring in Labor Market Social Networks
We present a model of job search in which information about job opportunities is available either through direct search at the labor market or through network of socially tied individuals. We consider two cases - altruistic and self-interested agents that maximize their utility function. We show that optimal strategies range between full and no referring cases. Altruistic individuals tend to refer more than selfinterested agents. Strategic referring allows agents alleviate employment variation and leads to higher average utility levels and lower unemployment rates.

Review by:
Elizabeth Berger
on Feb. 15, 2013 :
Solitary: The History and Current Reality of Torture as a Means of Social Control Within Prisons" is an important contribution to the broad dialogue on the torture of prisoners and human rights. The author argues, from the position of a scholarly expert, that the goals of prisons have been confused and contradictory for hundreds of years, but have long included an element of social and/or sensory isolation. The book documents how the scientific community during the 1950's through the 1980's took a special interest in isolation as it relates to a variety of domains: to warfare, to brain and mental functioning, to political indoctrination, to social control, and to the "reform" of mental patients and prisoners. Written for a broad audience, the author explores a multitude of historical frameworks with a deft touch. The result is compelling, well-researched, and eventually devastating in its condemnation--a brilliant and beautiful book.

Also, looking at the way the Australian batsmen themselves struggled against the subtle movement and extra bounce, I am full of awe for the way Dravid and Sachin played yesterday. Truly fine batsmen, they are.
The lead for India is now a good 170 runs. Sehwag is still there and looking very very good. The Indians are surely in the driver's seat and if they can give the Australians a target of above 400 to chase then we should be in with a very good chance of winning the game.
But then as Ponting had said before the match commenced, the Australians are desperate for victory. A win here will enable them to create history, which means they will make it as tough as possible for India, which in turn means there is a riveting third day's play ahead!

"I had tremendous difficulty getting to speak to anyone"
About: Royal Preston Hospital / Urology Royal Preston Hospital Urology PR2 9HT
Posted by Mikka (as ),
My elderly mother was admitted to RPH with various issues and spent 2 months in hospital under 3 consultants, gynie, medical and renal.
On discharge we were told her kidneys were failing and during her stay had a couple of episodes of high potassium needing a transfusion. She was supposed to have a follow up appointment. No appointment has been forthcoming despite her GP stating she should have specialist renal care.
I had tremendous difficulty getting to speak to anyone from renal during her hospital stay. I was disgusted, it felt like she was just left to rot. The gynie consultant tried his best to get done one from renal to take responsibility for my mums care and none was forthcoming.
I am putting in an official complaint and if my mum deteriorates I will hold them responsible

I. Introduction
Welcome to the wonderful world of Brain Age. I, Jason Wishnov,
have embarked on the crucial task of aiding Doctor Kawashima to help
you hone your mental capacities to their razor sharp peaks. My previous
contributions include FAQs for Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball
2, which are excellent games, so be sure to use those guides as well.
On with the show!
II. Concept
Brain Age is the latest in Nintendo's odd series of "non-games"
for the Nintendo DS. Like Nintendogs and Electroplankton (and possibly
Animal Crossing: Wild World) before it, the game defies the traditional
idea of a video game and attempts to attract many people who would deem
themselves as "non-gamers". The concept is simple enough: get players
to engage in simple mental exercises to increase cognition, memory,
clarity of thought, and decision making abilities.
The game is based off of the research of Japanese neurologist
Ryuta Kawashima (whose floating head guides you through the game).
Though there are conflicting reports on whether or not the game
actually hones one's mental abilities, the general consensus is that it
does have some effect, even if only that of a placebo. In any case,
it's enjoyable for those who enjoy puzzles and mental challenges, and
at a bargain price of only twenty dollars, it's a good deal of fun.
Heck, Sudoku alone is worth it.
III. Brain Age Tests
In order to show one's progress and encourage a bit of
competitiveness between friends, the game measures something called a
"Brain Age". This statistic is based off of the test results of
hundreds of different players of different ages; your results are then
checked against those test subjects, and a score is given. Twenty is
deemed as the best Brain Age score, and the maximum is considered 80+.
The game compiles your Brain Age scores each time you take it, and
displays the results in a nice graph with which you can check your
overall progress.
The Brain Age Test (in regular Training Mode) will consist of
three randomly chosen tests, even though the Stroop Test will
automatically be included if the "I can speak" option is chosen. A
quick Brain Age check will only consist of the Stroop Test, and won't
even bother asking if you're in a quiet place to do so.
Holding select while choosing "Brain Age Check" will allow you to
choose any three specific tests you desire.
Following are the possible tests for a Brain Age check.
a. Word Memory
Explanation: Word Memory is (probably) the longest in duration of
the six Brain Age tests, and requires a great deal of concentration. A
list of 30 four-letter words appears on the two screens. You have two
minutes to memorize these words, and then three minutes to recall and
transcribe as many of those words as you can remember. You may hit
select before the two minutes are up to advance to the writing phase,
and select during that phase to end the test.
Tips: As this test is comprised almost solely of rote
memorization, you should probably use any memorization techniques that
have worked for you in the past. Try to make sentences using several of
the words, or simply relate two of them to make remembering both easier
("snow" and "ball", for example). Another good technique is to ignore
the last five or six words as you study, and with ten seconds left,
repeatedly say out loud those words in order. Keep saying them as the
writing screen appears, and write those five or six down immediately.
You may then proceed to the words you had been studying during first
minute and fifty seconds. Letter recognition can also be troublesome;
use capital k's, b's and d's with high stems, and be sure to dot your
i's and j's.
My personal best: 26 words.
b. Stroop Test
Explanation: The Stroop Test was originally conceived by one John
Ridley Stroop in 1935. For more information, go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroop_test. In any case, words will be
shown on either of the two screens. The word will be that of a color,
but written in the ink of another color. For instance, the word "Black"
might be written in yellow. You need to speak the name of the color
that the word is written in, not the word itself, into the microphone
on the bottom of the DS. The test will continue until fifty correct
answers have been given.
Tips: Practice makes perfect, I'm afraid. Initially, your brain
will have trouble adjusting to this odd test, but as time goes on, your
speed should dramatically increase. One odd caveat is the recognition
of the word "Blue", which seems to be inconsistent at best. You should
hold the DS microphone about a foot to a foot and a half away from the
mouth, and speaking volume should be fairly average. Try to avoid
ambient noise. Others have suggested pronouncing blue as "broo" or
"baloo", and still others have suggested saying the word as you would a
question, as in, "blue?" Find out what works for you.
My personal best: 51 seconds.
c. Speed Counting
Explanation: One of the lamest tests in Brain Age, this test will
have you count as quickly as possible from one to a hundred twenty. The
game will not attempt to do any voice recognition, so you need to be
trustworthy in saying when you're complete.
Tips: Attempt to pronounce each number individually, and not
slur. While mental attention may slip while counting, try to focus on
the numbers 60-69 and 100-120, as these tend to give people to most
My personal best: 29 seconds.
d. Connect Maze
Explanation: The letters A-M and numbers 1-13 are laid out
randomly on the touch screen. You need to connect them in the order A-
1-B-2-C-3, and so on. You cannot lift the stylus from the screen, and
try not to touch any other letter or number than the next one in the
pattern. Doing so will not constitute a time penalty, but the circles
will block your progress.
Tips: As silly as sounds, know the first thirteen letters of the
alphabet inside and out. Keep the next two or three circles in mind so
that you always know what you're searching for. Also, as you hit a
target, start the search for the next circle as that point and move
outward. As you move outward, move your stylus along with your eyes, so
that when you find it, you're that much closer. It sounds a little odd,
but it works quite well.
My personal best: 29 seconds.
e. Number Cruncher
Explanation: Several numbers (up to fifteen) will appear, in
different values, colors, and motions. Questions will then be asked
relating to those numbers, which you must answer as quickly as
possible. Questions include how many numbers of a certain color there
are, how many numbers of a certain value there are, how many numbers
are shown sliding, and how many are shown pulsing.
Tips: Incorrect answers will count HEAVILY against you, a costly
twenty seconds each, so take care to answer correctly. However, an
interesting quirk of the game is that if you input an incorrect answer,
there will be a short delay until that number is placed in the answer
box on the other screen. Once you get used to this, you can quickly
erase any incorrect answer before the game counts it against you. Use
this technique to answer quickly and correctly.
My personal best: 52 seconds.
f. Calculations x20
Explanation: A rapid-fire succession of twenty simple math
questions. Only addition, subtraction, and multiplication are used in
the Brain Age Check mode, and no digit in the question will exceed
nine, making 9x9 = 81 the highest possible answer.
Tips: As in Number Cruncher, there will be a slight delay in the
game if you input an incorrect answer, so use this to quickly erase any
erroneous responses. Always keep your eyes on the next problem, so you
have the answer ready to write down as soon as possible. You may also
need to modify your handwriting; I personally had to change the way I
wrote 4's, and people have been known to have trouble with 7's and 8's
as well.
My personal best: 13.10 seconds.
IV. Training Exercises
In order to work your brain, Dr. Kawashima encourages you to do
several training exercises each day to help improve your mental skills.
Only three are available at first, but as you obtain stamps, you'll
unlock more (see the unlockables section, further down). Only one
training exercise per day is enough to earn a stamp, but three in a day
will make your stamp larger. Yay!
a. Calculations x20
This game is identical to the Calculations x20 found in Brain Age
Check. For specifics, refer to Section III, Part f...or rather, about
twenty-five lines up.
b. Calculations x100
Explanation: Another rapid-fire succession of math questions, but
five times as long. There is also a "Hard Mode" of this exercise, which
simply inputs division questions as well as the standard addition,
subtraction, and multiplication.
Tips: Once again, note that any incorrect answer will have a
telltale delay, so erase anything that doesn't immediately appear as an
answer. Calculations x100 tends to lead to a loss of mental focus at
some point, so do your best to avoid distractions and keep your mind
focused on the game. Incorrect answers don't hurt here as much as they
do in Calculations x20, but try to keep them to a minimum.
My personal best: 1 minute 10 seconds.
c. Reading Aloud
Explanation: You are to read a passage aloud from some of the
finest literature (in English) throughout the ages. Though the game
says you can "read to yourself" if you desire, I strongly discourage
it, as it's difficult to truly measure yourself this way. As with Speed
Counting, there is no way for the game to truly check how well you're
performing, so be honest with yourself.
Tips: The vocabulary in many of these passages can be rather
advanced, so if you come across a word you don't know...well, look it
up on dictionary.com. There's isn't much I can say here, just read as
fast as you can.
d. Low to High
Explanation: Probably my favorite Training Exercise, this program
has you take a quick glimpse at a collection of numbers, then asks you
to repeat those numbers from lowest to highest based on their position.
The game starts with four numbers; it will increase by one number for
every correct sequence, and decrease by one number for every incorrect
sequence. After ten, it goes directly to twelve, though I am currently
unsure what happens when twelve is successfully cleared.
Tips: Get a photographic memory? Simple practice is what seems to
have increased my score. In the short time you have, try not to start
going up from the lowest number (you'll never have time to finish that
on the higher sequences), but to take a sort of "mental snapshot", and
work it out from there. It takes practice, trust me.
My personal best: 48
e. Syllable Count
Explanation: The game will provide several short sentences, and
you will be tasked with counting the number of syllables contained
therein. Nothing too complex here.
Tips: Reading through the sentence while counting in your head
can throw people off, so the best method is to use your fingers to
count off. Start on your thumb (or pinky) and cycle through the five
fingers, and know what multiple of five you're on. "Rocket" times
aren't very difficult to obtain in this game, so you should be fine.
f. Head Count
Explanation: a certain number of people will start off in a
house. Then, several people will enter and exit the house in turn, as
you keep track of the total number of people still inside. In Hard
Mode, people will enter or exit through the chimney as well, which
makes it much harder to keep track of.
Tips: In the last couple sets, people will leave and enter at the
same time. Instead of modifying the total count twice (or three times,
in Hard Mode), try to find out the net change in the round, and THEN
modify your total count. So, if there are six people in the house, and
three people leave and two more enter, don't bring the count down to
three and then back to five. Realize that the net gain was minus 1, and
just modify the count directly from six to five. It comes in handy on
faster levels.
My personal best: 5/5 (on Hard Mode)
g. Triangle Math
Explanation: Three numbers will appear on the top screen. Two
intermediate calculations will net two more numbers, and then a final
calculation will yield the answer. The only operations are addition and
subtraction, but careful attention to negative numbers is required.
Hard Mode will have four numbers at the top, which greatly increases
the difficulty.
Tips: The first half of the exercise consists solely of
additions, so understand that the final answer will be the first number
plus the third number plus two times the middle number (For the all-
addition Hard Mode questions, the formula is the first number plus the
last number plus three times the sum of the middle two numbers). This
will save you the intermediate steps. Brush up on your negative numbers
if you're rusty, and say the intermediate results out loud if you find
yourself forgetting them mid-problem.
My personal best: 29 seconds.
h. Time Lapse
Explanation: Two analog clocks will be shown with specific times
on each. You need to determine how much time has passed, in hours and
minutes, from the first to the second.
Tips: It's important to keep in mind that the second clock in one
set will become the first clock in the next, so you don't need to read
that time again. Try to separate the process of finding the difference
in hours and the difference in minutes, as it makes one harder problem
into two easier ones. Practice your clock reading, as today's age of
digital nonsense has probably weakened your skills.
My personal best: 1 minute 17 seconds
i. Voice Calculation
Explanation: Similar to Calculations x20 and x100, except that
now you respond with your voice. There are fifty calculations in this
version, and other minor differences as well. Division problems are
automatically included, and answers can only be in the range of zero
through nine. Wrong answers will not count against you, since the game
realizes that voice recognition isn't perfect.
Tips: Nothing much to say here. Speak clearly and at medium
volume in a relatively quiet place for the best results, and try to get
a rhythm going. Always look at the next problem and work out the answer
before it's time to speak it. Good luck!
My personal best: 1 minute 1 second
V. Sudoku
Ah, Sudoku. This Japanese puzzle game has grown to a cultural
icon in the last few years, taking the world by storm. The rules are
simple: fill out a 9 by 9 grid with the numbers 1-9, so that each
column, row, and 3 x 3 square only has one of each digit.
Brain Age's Sudoku interface is extremely streamlined, vastly
superior to pen and paper. The ability to erase or overwrite any
answer, as well as make numerous easy-to-read notes, makes it seem as
though DS was designed purely for such a task.
To start off, you only have access to the Beginner and
Intermediate puzzles, each with four tutorials and 36 puzzles each. I
recommend reading through the tips of each difficulty level, and then
completing the four tutorials. Make sure you understand HOW the answer
came about in the tutorial puzzles, or the point is lost. There are
plenty of Sudoku websites out there featuring insane strategies and
tips, so I'll leave all that to them. Practice and experience make a
big difference in Sudoku.
To unlock the Advanced difficulty, you need to either complete an
Intermediate puzzle in less than ten minutes, or complete 42% of all
Sudoku puzzles (Hitchhiker reference?). If you get frustrated and don't
want to wait, run an Intermediate puzzle to its near-conclusion, and
copy the answers on a sheet of paper. Complete the puzzle and do it
again; it should only take two or three minutes.

VII. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are some trigger words that make Dr. Kawashima do funny things?
A: Actually, the only trigger word is "Glasses glasses", which makes
him lift his glasses up and freak out. All other words will get either
a frown or a laugh, randomly.
Q: Know any other Easter Eggs?
A: As a matter of fact, I do. You can tap on any of the "grade"
animations (Walking, Bicycle, Car, Train, etc.) to get a funny sound
effect...the best, though, is definitely the walking guy, who will
whistle a few notes of the Super Mario Bros. theme song.
Q: Why is my Brain Age so high? I'm young!
A: Ah, but real age has nothing to do with it. Brain Age is merely a
measure of how quickly your brain was able to deal with the presented
tasks, and as such, you may be far older or younger than your true age.
Keep working, though, and your B.A. should drop quickly.
Q: Level with me. Does this game REALLY make your brain function
A: This game has brought out my own latent ESP abilities, so at the
very least, it should make you a little quicker at doing simple math
Q: These aren't real questions that anybody asked, are they?
A: No.
Q: I love your writing.
A: Thank you.

Upson happy to stay
Matthew Upson has expressed his delight after West Ham managed to keep hold of their best players.
Last Updated: 06/02/09 12:27pm
Matthew Upson has expressed his delight after West Ham managed to keep their best players in January.
Craig Bellamy moved to Manchester City during the transfer window and Julien Faubert joined Real Madrid on loan but a number of others, including Upson, had been tipped to exit the club.
Gianfranco Zola fought to hold onto his key men and was even able to strengthen his squad by capturing Savio and Radoslav Kovac.
Upson insists he never came close to leaving Upton Park and is now looking forward to a successful end to the season with the Hammers.
"The person who has the biggest headache in the transfer window is undoubtedly the manager," Upson told the Evening Standard.
"He may have to make a decision on a player who wants to leave but he doesn't want to let go. As far as I am concerned there was never, ever a genuine enquiry. There were quite a few rumours but as far as I am aware, that's all they were.
"I have to say the club have done a fantastic job in what could have been a difficult month.
"They've done the right thing and maintained their ambition on the pitch, which is something I was concerned about back in December.
"The one player who's gone was out of their control really. It was a situation where the player (Bellamy) took things into his own hands."
West Ham have climbed to eighth in the Premier League table on the back of a six-match unbeaten run and Upson believes Zola deserves great credit for the improvement.
He said: "The reason why things are so enjoyable is because we're doing well and that's down to the job the new management team are doing.
"People who know about West Ham and who have watched us regularly will have noticed that we're playing with a bit more positivity and confidence and in a fashion which is more attractive to watch.
"They've been drilling these messages into us from the day they arrived."
Upson has been pleased with his form this season but hopes he can continue to progress and also fulfil his England ambitions.
He added: "This is a huge 18 months for me, both on a domestic and international level. The 2010 World Cup, for example, is something which I'm looking forward to every day and preparing myself for.
"The football I'm playing every week for West Ham is no less important.
"I'm very near my peak now. I still think there are improvements to be made but my form this season has been very consistent, which is a sign I'm more mature as a player and a person."

Day Tank for a Diesel Generator | Critical Facilities
This is a photo of a generator day tank for a diesel generator. The tank has floats inside that keep the fuel level automatically topped off in the tank so when the generator starts there is a fuel supply ready to go. As the generator consumes fuel the pump activates and resupplies the tank to keep the generator fueled and running. A pump will pump the fuel from the main storage tank to supply the day tank so the generator will have a days (give or take depending on the size of the generator and the load on the generator) amount of fuel to run under normal load. The controls for the day tank are more complex than other tanks which supply fuel for generators. An automatic day tank has alarms for the fuel level – alarms for both too low and too full alarms – and manual tests procedures for testing the pumps and fuel level floats.
Day Tank for a Diesel Generator | Critical Facilities
Diesel supply piping is painted yellow and has a return and a supply pipe for keeping the flow of the diesel through pipe even in cold weather. In cold weather diesel fuel can turn into a gel and cause issues with running the generator. Day tanks can also be fitted with electric heaters to keep the diesel fuel from gelling in the winter. Other ways to prevent diesel fuel from gelling is additives in the diesel fuel that prevent gelling in extreme cold weather. Some diesel fuel systems for large generators have scrubbers that will run a specified or programmed times of the week. The fuel scrubber is used to filter and clean the fuel from impurities that end up in tanks like water and diesel sludge. This ensures the generator receives quality fuel. No fuel scrubbers are pictured here.

mercedes-benz g guard
Mercedes-Benz G Guard
Many prefer getting luxury cars which is the reason why some people choose to buy second hand cars such as used Mercedes Benz instead of the new Toyotas or Nissans. Luxury cars truly give its owner an aura of power and style. But aside from being a status symbol, these type of cars are also worth the cost because of its solid built and amazing features that you won't normally find on regular cars. The Mercedes-Benz G 463 Station Wagon belongs to such classification. Similarly if you've always dreamed of buying a yacht you could find used Princess Yachts for sale if a brand new yacht is out of your price range.
The angled and robust Mercedes-Benz G 463 Station Wagon model series with B6/B7 protection level, guarding from attacks of organized criminality or even terrorist attacks, is admittedly one of the most fascinating armored cars ever. Used in military, police, fire brigade and other sectors since 1999, the G-Guard class with V8 G 500 (4966 cm3) engine and output of 218 kW (296 hp) makes it easy to survive potential attacks and makes it easy to escape. Unlike armored E and S classes, the armored G class offers different drive characteristics thanks to it's design. The first difference is the maximum speed which is limited to 160 km/h (210 km/h for the S class, 240 km/h for all E 320 CDI, E 350 and E 500). On the other hand, armored cars weren't designed for speed circuits or even races. Their primary goal is to protect and keep the passengers safe. Naturally, you should buying an armored car if there are reasonable arguments for such action. Thanks to the armor weight, the Guard class's weight raises from 2400 kgs (series vehicle) to 3570 (B6 protection level) or 3970 (B7 protection level) and allows to carry 630 kgs with B6 armoring and 330 kgs with B7 armoring level. Like all Mercedes-Benz's Guard cars, this model fuel tank is designed for unpredictable situations and it's capacity is 96 litres with approximately 20 litres as a reserve.

The Top 30 Most Shocking TV Deaths
MAJOR SPOILERS (Obviously):
Still reeling from the game changing death from The Good Wife, for this week's top list, I knew I had to write about TV's most shocking or outlandish deaths, the deaths that stay with you anyway. Whether that be an earned and emotional death of a beloved character, a death used only for shock value (HATE those), killing a character off because an actor quits, or the ones that really just rub you the wrong way (I have a particular example I will share below). Whatever the reason for a character's demise, these are the deaths I personally find the most shocking:
The Top 30 Shocking TV Deaths (in no particular order):
1) Jen Lindley's death from Dawson's Creek was certainly not the ending I hoped for the character, but truly was perfect and moving.
Photo: WB
2) Buffy's Mom, Joyce Summers, dying suddenly from natural causes was both heartbreaking and surprising.
Photo: WB
3) Carter from Person of Interest was one of the main characters. This wasn't supposed to happen, right?
Photo: CBS
4) In the last episode of Roseanne, it revealed that Dan Conner had really died from a heart attack...
Photo: ABC
5) Who 'actually' thought that killing Marian off from Robin Hood was a good idea??? Oh, and by the hand of Guy too when he was starting to change...
Photo: BBC
6) Ellen AND Jo from Supernatural. Their deaths were gut-wrenching. I just wished these two had been in the show more.
Photo: CW
7) Sybil from Downton Abbey died suddenly from child birth. Why did Jessica Brown Findlay have to quit?
Photo: ITV
8) AND Matthew from Downton Abbey at the very last second of season 3. Ruined Christmas for many.
Photo: ITV
9) Dualla's suicide from Battlestar Galactica really just came out of the blue. But great writing. It really made sense to the episode's feeling of losing hope.
Photo: Sci-Fi
10) I'm still not over Doyle's death from Angel only 9 episodes into the series. Bad choice, I still think, but I loved he went out a "hero."
Photo: WB
11) Okay, so I don't watch Game of Thrones but even I heard about the shocking Red Wedding. How awful!
Photo: HBO
12) Hale from Lost Girl. I heard about this death before it happened accidentally. I'm so shocked that I haven't tuned in yet.
Photo: Showcase
13) Alex from Roswell. I believe Colin Hanks quit...still, I did NOT see this one coming. But at least we got a romantic goodbye dance...
Photo: WB
14) Michael from Prison Break. So he survived EVERYTHING to just die suddenly at the end? No thanks.
Photo: Fox
15) Mitchell's death in Being Human was extremely shocking but then again, he did have The Hobbit to film...
Photo: BBC
16) AND George's death in Being Human as well. This one WAS depressing. Honarable mentions go to the offscreen death of his love Nina and later baby.
Photo: BBC
17) Most of The Vampire Diaries' deaths feel like they were done mostly for shock value. One of my least favorite deaths goes to John because he sacrificed himself for nothing and no one seemed to care.
Photo: CW
18) Beaver's (or Cassidy's) suicide after revealing himself as the murderer of a bus full of kids (as well as being Veronica's rapist) was a twist that just hurts.
Photo: UPN
19) Nick and Stephen from Primeval. Nick was supposed to be the lead. This wasn't supposed to happen. And Stephen was awesome. Sometimes, I hate change.
Photo: ITV
20) For the STUPIDEST deaths on the list, I have to go with Jimmy and Davis from Smallville. Davis goes all psycho out of nowhere, stabs Jimmy, and then Jimmy impales Davis. So much distaste for this plot turn.
Photo: CW
BONUS PIC: After Davis died, no one cared about the psycho. What happened to the body? According to Sam Witwer in a TV Guide interview, "They stuffed him in a closet to deal with later."
Photo: CW
21) Pretty much most of the cast of Lost, though the deaths stopped being shocking after a while.
Photo: ABC
22) Will Gardner from The Good Wife. Who could have seen this coming? Killing the romantic lead off a show never ceases to take the audience by surprise. Romantic and devastating.
Photo: CBS
23) Justin Ripley from Luther definitely gets one of the most heart-wrenching and shocking deaths on this list. It was like killing a puppy.
Photo: BBC
24) Wash from Serenity (his death was in the movie but I'm counting it). This had no thematic purpose other than shock value. I was very disappointed with Whedon on this one.
Photo: Fox
25) Lexie and Mark from Grey's Anatomy. No happy ending for these two....
Photo: ABC
26) Half the cast of Torchwood. Why kill off Tosh, Owen, AND Ianto? These deaths were real bummers.
Photo: BBC
27) Teri Bauer from 24. Jack spent the entire season trying to save his family and the President, only to lose his wife in the last minute thanks to the traitorous Nina.
Photo: Fox
28) I loved Prue from Charmed! A real shame there were problems on set that caused her character's premature departure.
Photo: WB
29) Ryan from Nikita. Okay, this death wasn't exactly 'shocking' but his ending still surprised me. He truly went out a hero.
Photo: CW
30) Graham (The Huntsman) from Once Upon A Time. A death written mainly to prove the writers had the power. Weak move and choice to kill such a wonderful character so soon.
Photo: ABC
What TV Deaths were the most shocking to you? Sound off below…
Check out our other Top Lists! We put up a new list every Wednesday.

Unanswered: Anniversary Date Time Accrual
Hi. I am a newbie to dBforums. I am also teaching myself ms access (ver 2002).
At work I am putting together a employee database which will include all aspects, including time request, time gained, etc. I have a query which calculates the time and feeds the results to a form for display purposes.
I am having a problem getting the query to display individual anniversary date years. For example, if employee A started on May 1, 2002 and was alloted 80 vacation time hours for the anniversary year (beginning on May 1, 2003) and took 80 vacation hours for the year period (may 1, 2003 - May 1, 2004) and the same for the anniversary year 2004 - 2005 ... I want the query to display each individual year and front load the hours for each year, instead of calculating the hours from date of hire to current date and subtracting total hours requested from date of hire to current date (as the sick leave requests work because this works off of calendar year).
I thought it would be a group by call in the query in the anniversary date field, however I can't figure out how to do this, the following is the sql I have now which produces the results by calendar year.
SELECT [tbl-employee].EmployeeName, [tbl-employee].[Employee Type], [tbl-employee].[Start Date], DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month([Start Date]),Day([Start Date])) AS AnniversaryDate, DateDiff("m",[Start Date],Now()) AS MthsEmp, [MthsEmp]/12 AS YrsEmp, DateSerial(Year([Start Date]),Month([Start Date])+1,Day("2")) AS BegOff, DateDiff("m",[BegOff],Now()) AS VacMths, IIf([VacMths]<=59,80,IIf([VacMths]<=119,120,IIf([VacMths]<=239,160,IIf([VacMths]<=999,200,0)))) AS VacTmeAcc, Sum([tbl-leaverequests].TotalHours) AS TimeReq FROM [tbl-employee] INNER JOIN [tbl-leaverequests] ON [tbl-employee].EmployeeName = [tbl-leaverequests].EmployeeName GROUP BY [tbl-employee].EmployeeName, [tbl-employee].[Employee Type], [tbl-employee].[Start Date], DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month([Start Date]),Day([Start Date])), [tbl-employee].Status, [tbl-leaverequests].LeaveType HAVING ((([tbl-employee].[Employee Type])=2) AND (([tbl-employee].Status)="Active") AND (([tbl-leaverequests].LeaveType)="Vacation")) ORDER BY [tbl-employee].EmployeeName;
