I have making up routes and itinerary for a trip to Spain and Morocco this November.
The trip will be about 4 weeks. Since we'll be flying from Canada through London to Madrid, I want to stay 1 week in Madrid (and make a day trip to Toledo). That's all I have planned so far.
I know I want to see Barcelona, Gibraltar (and take a ferry either from Spain to Morocco/Tangier, or on the way back), Casablanca, Marakesh.
I don't now much about Spain - and would appreciate if fellow Fodorites and Spain or Morocco experts would suggest a route: train/ bus/ flights. My thinking is:
Madrid (7 days) - take train to Seville
Seville (2-3 days) - then somehow gets to Gibraltar
Gibraltar (1 day) - ferry across the Strait to Tangier - fly or train to Casablanca or Marakesh
Casablanca/Marakesh - (~10 days between the 2 cities) - then fly to Barcelona
Barcelona (5 day) - take train to Madrid
Madrid (2-3 days)
Any suggestions or comments would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Madrid to Gibraltar to Marakesh or Casablanca
I have making up routes and itinerary for a trip to Spain and Morocco this November.
Report Abuse
Trains in Spain - www.renfe.com and read (at least) -
http://tiny.cc/d728fw to understand the website (if necessary) and the probability of discounted tickets. And as you are from outside Europe, you may need this further hugely comprehensive guide if you have troubles - http://tiny.cc/4b38fw
Seville to La Linea bus - http://www.tgcomes.es/horarios_33_english.htm and walk across the border into Gibraltar.
Seville deserves more time perhaps, if you could shave a day off somewhere else - but it's your trip and not mine. Plenty of time for fundamental and in depth research before November.
Report Abuse
Gibraltar seems an odd choice of destination when going to Morocco - plenty of ferry options from Sapin itself
Report Abuse
The OP says 'I know I want to see Barcelona, Gibraltar' - so presumably Gibraltar not solely for a ferry.
Report Abuse
This is more for the Africa Forum, but is there any special reason for going to Casablanca? Fez, maybe Meknes and Essaouira, definitely Marrakech, and hopefully a trip into the desert. But not Casa.
10 days isn't much but for a basic trip here goes - ferry to Tangier and taxi immediately to the train station. Train to Fez. 2 days, maybe 3 with a day trip to Meknes. Rent car and long drive into the desert. 2 days including an overnight in a tent. Drive to Todra Gorge. Overnight. Long drive to Marrakech. Spend the rest of your time there.
I know, I know - Africa Forum.
Also, I think it's much easier to take the ferry to Tangier from Tarifa or Algeciras than from Gibraltar, meaning that ferries from Spain are very plentiful and those from Gibraltar are not. All you need is one, though.
Report Abuse
From Madrid I'd recommend a side trip to Aranjuez, only a short train ride. Lovely old place with summer palace of the Spanish Royal Family & miles of gardens by the river.
Also enjoyed AVILA.
Report Abuse
Spent less than four hours on Gibraltar as part of a tour back in the day. Seemed like more than enough time.
Wouldn't go to Tangier if there's another arrival point in Morocco. Tangier is a port city of little historical or touristic significance.
WOULD go to Cordoba from Seville and drop a day or two from Madrid.
Have you booked the flights? If not, return to Canada from Barcelona through London, not Madrid. A total of 10 days in Madrid is excessive (much more to see in Barcelona).

"Gibraltar (1 day) - ferry across the Strait to Tangier"
It seems as though you are intending to take a ferry from Gibraltar to Tangier. If so, you will need to be in Gibraltar on Friday evening for the ferry because there is only one ferry a week.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
La mia colpa: my partner wants to take the ferry across the Straits of Gibraltar, and so I wrote down Gibraltar. But it looks like there is only 1 ferry from Gibraltar, and most ferries leave from Tarifa or Algeciras.
Given the ferry ride is only about 1/2 hour: is it really worth it to take the train from Madrid to Tarifa or Algeciras, land in Tangier (which I heard is not very pleasant), and then find my way to Marakesh or Casablanca?
Maybe I should investigate flying from Spain to Marakesh directly rather than "wasting" 1-2 days on train/bus/ferry.
The reason I wanted to stay in Madrid at least a week is that, I heard even though Madrid itself is not as interesting as Barcelona, there are places outside Madrid for day trips: Toledo being one, and now I would look at Aranjuez.
We will be taking Air Canada/BA from Canada - London - Madrid. The tickets were bought a few months ago. I don't think there is BA flight from Barcelona to London? Anyways it is too late to change. Yes ideally I would like to fly back to London from Barcelona, rather than going back to Madrid, If we fly back through Madrid I would stay there 1-2 days, because going from Barcelona to London to Canada in one stretch is too easy to miss a connection.
I want to go from Madrid to Morocco stopping at either Seville or Granada. It's a toss-up but leaning towards Seville, with the biggest Cathedral in the world (?), and also maybe easier to fly from Seville, rather than Granada, to Morocco. I wonder if we stay for 3 days in Seville, can we make a day trip to see Cordoba (I know that's going back towards Madrid).
I know we should discuss in AfricaForun, but many people go to Spain and also go to Morocco.
The only reason for Casablanca is the movie which I saw many years ago, and to tell people that "yes I've been there". Are you saying that it isn't worth a trip? how about staying in Marakesh as a base and make a day trip or an overnight trip to Casablanca?
Fez, Meknes and Essaouira: I don't know these places at all, but will do some research. I wasn't planning to drive in Morocco. I had no problem driving in Italy (the Amalfa Coast) and Turkey (within Izmir, and from to Ephesus to Parmakkule). But I am afraid that English signs are not prevalent in Morocco and fewer people speak English? What is your experience of driving in Morocco?
If Kez is worth a few days, maybe we can join local tours while in Kez to explore the surrounding area. How long is the train from Marakesh to Kez? but it means that we have to go back to Marakesh to fly back to Spain.
No sure about the desert: I heard those camels are pretty nasty animals: they spit at you if they don't like you. That's what my brother told me.
Report Abuse
I'd suggest spending more time in Sevilla. With 4 days you'd have enough time for a daytrip to Cordoba. I'd also try to find a couple of additional days to visit Granada. It seems a shame to not visit Granada for a first trip to Andalucia. You could easily spend the entire month in Spain considering you're trying to visit 3 distinct geographies. You may consider cutting Barcelona to give you the time needed for Sevilla and Granada. It makes better sense logistically and you could save Barcelona for another trip.
Report Abuse
Forget Casablanca. Since this is a first trip and you want to see Andalucia, go into Madrid and then on to Granada, Cordoba, and Seville. From there head to Algeciras and take the ferry to Tangiers. Hop the train and go to Fez. In order to get to Marrakech, the train goes west to Rabat and Casa before turning southeast to Marrakech. From there fly to Barcelona and then on to Madrid. It is tempting to take a flight from Madrid to Morocco, but you'd have to take Ryanair if you don't want to spend a fortune, and then you'd miss seeing Andalucia ! Forget Gibraltar, too. The ferry from Algeciras takes 2 hrs and costs 20€. The one from Tarifa takes 35 min and costs 35€.
We will be doing a trip to Spain/Morocco in Oct-Nov, but we're old hands having lived in both places for many years. We plan to take the train from Madrid to Algeciras, then pick up a rental car in Tangiers after visiting an old friend who lives there, and on to Asliah, Larache, Kenitra, and Rabat. Then back to Tangiers and Algeciras where we'll get another rental car to continue on to our house in Spain. If my daughter and son-in-law are with us, because she was young when we lived there, from Rabat we'll continue on down the coast to Essaouira, over to Marrakech, up to Fez and Chaouen, drop the car in Tangiers, and out to Spain. We, too, are not interested in the desert.
Best for you to go to a library and get books on Spain and Morocco so you'll have a better idea of what you might want to see. You are lucky to have 4 wks for your trip, unlike many people on this board. Take advantage of your time and HAVE LOTS OF FUN !!!

<< I don't think there is BA flight from Barcelona to London? >>
Try again.
And Barcelona - London - Canada is no more onerous an itinerary than Madrid to Canada via London. You made your choice so stick with it and don't look back but for future reference, the start point and end point on the vacation does not need to be the same.
The hydrofoil from Algeciras to Tangier is 1 hour. Bring antiemetics if you have any motion sickness at all on any type of transport.
Granada has one attraction, Alhambra. Other than that . . . yawn. Cordoba has more to entice and it's 1/8 the size of Granada. Thus, the pick should be Seville (worth a couple of days and better access to Cordoba). Its cathedral is the third largest in the world; St. Peter's is the largest in Europe.
Madrid doesn't really have a surfeit of day trips. Toledo is the best, Segovia is only ok and really not worth going out of your way to see. Unfortunately there are no fast trains to Salamanca, which is worth a couple of nights. You can do day trips from Barcelona too (Girona, Montserrat, etc.) and there's more to see generally in Barcelona than in Madrid.
If you like modern art, go to articketbcn.com and buy the ticket.

I already bought travel books on Spain and Morocco. But all the places look so nice in the guidebook so it's difficult to decide where to go. Hence the posting here.
Here is my revised itinerary based on comments/suggestions:
Nov 3: late afternoon arrive in Madrid
Nov 3-9: 7 nights in Madrid, with 2 side trips (Toledo and Aranjuez)
Nov 10: travel - 3hr train to Granada
Nov 10-12: 3 nights in Granada
Nov 13: train - 3 hrs - to Seville
Nov 13-15: 3 nights in Seville (side trip to Cordoba)
Nov 16: fly from Seville to Marekash
Nov 16:- 18: 3 nights in Marekesh
Nov 19: 6-7 hrs drive? train? to Kez
Nov 19-21: Kez
Nov 22: 6-7 hrs train or car back to Marekesh
Nov 22: 1 night Marekesh
Nov 23: fly to Barcelona
Nov 23-27: 5 nights in Barcelona
Nov 28: to Madrid
Nov 28: 1 night in Madrid
Nov 29: Madrid - London - Canada
One thing not sure is the travel between Marekesh and Kez: it will take 6-7 hours either driving or train, and the same amount of time going back to Marekesh so that we can fly to Barcelona. It seems like a lot of effort to go to Kez..
Report Abuse
Regarding the Spain portion I think this looks good. Personally I'd add a day to Sevilla and take it from Granada. While I do believe there is more to Granada than the Alhambra I think 2 nights is sufficient. While 3 nights in Sevilla with 1 day dedicated to a Cordoba daytrip is a bit rushed. For me I'd consider taking a couple of days from Madrid and perhaps adding Malaga or Cadiz. The weather may be nicer than Madrid and although not beach season it would be nice to see the coast. 7 nights in Madrid seems a little much even with a couple of daytrips - but it will allow you to rest up a bit. By the way, the train from Madrid to Granada is longer than 3 hours. It's closer to 5. Bus is also another alternative as takes the same amount of time and is more frequent. For Granada to Sevilla you can take the train or bus - either way this is 3 hours.
Report Abuse
Thanks Cathy.
If the train from Madrid to Granada takes 5 hours, it will be afternoon or late afternoon when we arrive in Granada. So that means only 2 full days there (Nov 11 and 12). On Nov 13 we can leave early for Seville.
I can shave 1 day from Madrid, but if I do I am thinking of adding a day to Fez (I kept calling it Kez), because it takes so long to travel between Marekesh and Kez. It would be perfect if we can go from Marekesh to Fez, and fly from Fez directly to Barcelona but I couldn't find any flights. That means we'll have to spend a whole day on the road just getting back to Marekesh to fly to Barcelona.
Thanks for all the help. Now all I need is to fine tune the days: add one here or shave off one there. I should really go to the Africa Forum to discuss the Marekesh - Fez travel.
Thanks again everyone.

Hi John -
See you on the Africa Forum!

I agree with Cathy's advice on Andalucia. there is no need to go to Fez if you are going to Marrakesh. I would suggest Essouira though as the other place to go in Morroco.

I have just discovered that Iberia Air flies directly from Madrid to Tangier for ~40euros. In that case I can devise my itinerary - I think this is abetter itinerary (wihout taking a 7 hour trian from Marrakesh to Fez and back to Marrakesh):
Nov 3-8: 6 days in Madrid (side trip to Toledo and Aranjuez)
Nov 9: early flight to Tangier - hop onto 4-hour train to Kez. Arrive late afternon
Nov 9-12: 4 nights in Kez
Nov 13: 7 hr train to Marrakesh
Nov 13-16: 4 nights in Marrakesh
Nov 17: early flight to Barcelona
Nov 17-21: 5 nights in Barcelona
Nov 22: early flight to Seville
Nov 22-25: 4 nights in Seville
Nov 26: morning train 3hrs to Granada
Nov 26-27: 2 nights in Granada
Nov 28: 1 hr morning flight to Madrid
Nov 28: 1 night in Madrid
Nov 29: leave for London - then Canada
Report Abuse
I have been to Aranjuez twice and each time less impressed! The palace and the river ride is not very well maintained!I would strongly recommend an early bus ride to Segovia and after a few hours take a short 10 minute bus ride to La Granja for lunch-the gardens and fountains are wonderful-now that's impressive!
Report Abuse
"Nov 3-8: 6 days in Madrid (side trip to Toledo and Aranjuez)"
If one of those days includes the day you arrive, and that seems the case, you are not going to get 6 full days in Madrid. You will get 5 full days at the most. If your flight into Madrid involves the possibility of jet lag, you definitely will not get 6 full days, and maybe not even 5 full days.
For what it is worth, a few years ago I went to Madrid for 6 full days with a group of friends, fully intending to make two day trips out of the city. In the end, we were having such a great time exploring Madrid that we did not even make one of those trips. No regrets whatsoever.
Report Abuse
Yes Tony you are right. The first day we will arrive in Madrid Nov 3 late afternoon, and then we will have 5 full days (Nov 4-8), and leave on the 9th morning. We don't have to make side trips to Toedo etc. if we feel that there are enough things to do in the city. To us Toledo, Aranjuez or Segovia are not "musts".
Report Abuse
Looks good - alot of flights as you've covering a big geography. But if these are the cities you want to see the time in each place is adequate. The focus is on larger cities, at least in Spain. From Sevilla I'd definately do a daytrip to Cordoba. I'd probably try to take a later flight to Madrid from Granada to maximize your time in Granada as you will have already spent 6 nights in Madrid.
Report Abuse
I will remember Cordoba. Thanks Cathy.
Depending on the number of flights from Seville to Madrid: I will usually fly out at least one flight before the last one. So that if that flight is cancelled I will not be stuck in a city.
Report Abuse
"Nov 9-12: 4 nights in Kez
Nov 13: 7 hr train to Marrakesh"
I think you mean Fez, not Kez. Just bear in mind that inland Morocco gets very cold at night in November with temperatures getting close to freezing. So choose your accommodation carefully.
Report Abuse
Damn. I hit the Reply button before I was ready to post.
Every place on your list is very touristy (Granada, Barcelona and Marrakech especially so) and that may get tiring after a couple of weeks.

If you want to take a break from the tourist trail, take a look at Ronda and the surrounding area.
If that appeals to you, have a look at this website. Eva lives in a white village very close to Ronda.

I was in Fez once for a night. I couldn't wait to get back to Spain. That doesn't mean you won't enjoy it though.

Funny - I did not like Fez at all either, but lots of people do, UNESCO site, blah blah blah. I actually cut a 3 day visit down to 1 day. If you don't hire a guide, the 'faux guides' are swarming all over you like mosquitos. Much worse than Marrakech.

Welcome to the Humber Branch's 2015/16 programme.
I am just about to enter my second year as your Chair and to be honest I just don't know where the time has gone because it has been such an incredibly busy time for the Branch, with some real highlights along the way. These have included the following:
So if last year was a success, then my hope is that the 2015/16 programme can better it in terms of both attendance and feedback, but of course you will be the judge of that aspiration.
That said, what a time to be involved with Human Resource Management in all its many different facets, here within the Humber region.
This is because long established organisations and those multi-national organisations new to the region, are bringing exciting opportunities which have the potential to change positively the economic outlook of this region for decades to come, which is great news.
However, it is our profession that is so key to realising this opportunity because we need to find, retain, reward and develop the talent which will make all the above possible.
Therefore I would ask you please to keep an eye out for our regular emails which can link you to the website and events booking page with our theme of the Humber region being an excellent place to Live, Learn and Work.
We are now also very active via social media, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
Just a few final thoughts from me as we move into a new programme of events:
So finally I look forward to welcoming you at one of our next CIPD Humber Branch events, whether it is the first time you have attended or you are one of our regular supporters.
Chris Brown
A windy Tuesday at 9am saw 38 delegates arrive at the Healing Manor at Healing North East Lincolnshire to enjoy the South Bank session on settlement agreements delivered by Bridge Mc Farland (BMF) Employment Team and Forrester Boyd.
The Humber CIPD was again pleased to partner with BMF in this law based event. It was practical and clear and comments left by our members included 'good informative and relevant', 'excellent presentation', '…enjoyed case study' and 'how to properly follow procedures in a settlement agreement.'
A case study involving Jeremy Colwyn-Bay looking to define an exit strategy for David Cameroon brought together all of the aspects one must consider when looking at settlement agreements such as why negotiate exit terms, protected conversations, conducting the process, pitching the offer, what can and cannot be settled and common clauses. The main message on termination payments was 'check the contract of employment' as a starting point.
If you have not attended a Humber Branch event please check Eventbrite where you can find out more information and book on quickly and easily.
Our committee is run by volunteers who are elected every year in May at our Annual Meeting. If you are interested in learning more about our activities or would like to get involved, or if you have a suggestion for an event topic that may be of interest to the Branch members, please do get in touch with us.
To support the CIPD by providing a forum for all HR professionals in the Humber region that:

A continuation from previous blog post. Jump back to read Part One and Part Two
She could pretend they didn't know each other, but he certainly knew Ms. Buffenbarger. Knew her intimately. Well, maybe not this tight ass, skittish version of her but underneath that tight skirt and standoffish attitude was a hot woman with a turtle tattooed on her right hip. That's the Olivia he knew.
It was annoying, this facade that they were acquaintances, but her determination to make it true was cute. He could really use a friend right now, and he and Olivia Buffenbarger had been friends, once.
Hell, they'd been the best kind of friends, the kind that shared laughs and dreams. The kind of friends whose touch and feel had left an indelible impression so easily called forth that the subtle whiff of her perfume or the way her eyes roamed over him made him relive their days together in a flash of memories.
"Are you really still mad?"
"What's in the past should stay there." She told him. Well, told his tie actually since she struggled to make eye contact.
"Yes, I can see you mean that." He knew his sarcastic tone wasn't lost on her when she cut her eyes to his.
"David," she whispered.
He stepped closer, his thumb itching to stroke her cheek, to run his hands down her body and search for more tattoos. Had she gotten others like she said she wanted or had conformity sucked that from her? Had fear pushed her too far? It had certainly changed his life.
Her eyes met his and held firm.
"Don't call me that. We are not those people anymore. You have a child and a wife-"
"You assume."
She cocked her hip, planting her hand on it. "She's not your child?" She returned his sarcasm. In that brief moment he saw the woman he knew her to be. The strong force of nature she was and he was awash with relief. She was going to need those attributes in the days to come. He was going to need them, too, as was Mazie.
He looked over his shoulder and smiled at his daughter. "I'll be right there, baby." He held up one finger. "Just give us a minute, please."
"Ok, Daddy." She twirled and bowed, her curls dancing around her.
He turned his gaze back to Olivia. "Is there no way to forgive me? You just said the past should stay back there yet it's standing right here between us. " He stepped closer and picked up a strand of her flaxen hair, twirling it between his fingers. "Livvie, I don't know how else to express my remorse-"
"It's not that I'm still holding onto….well. Anyway…it's that I can no longer trust you and though you look exactly like someone who I used to trust with my life, behind that gorgeous face is a deceptive heart and this is the way things need to be if I want to protect myself."
"I can help protect you."
She bit out a laugh and shook her head, pulling the strand from his fingers. It was clear to him that they were not talking about the same threat and he briefly lowered his head, ashamed at how poorly he had treated the gift of her heart.
When he decided to move home, hoping to give Mazie as much stability as he possibly could, Liv-pardon-Olivia Buffenbarger had been his first thought. Whether she had forgiven him had been his second.
"Mazie needs a woman in her life. One she can trust," he said.
"I'm watching over her at school. You don't have to worry. But I'm not going to bail you out this time. Those days are over."
"You're all grown up and too serious for that, I suppose." He leaned forward, his face inches from hers. The air between them was suspended in anticipation. "But try as I might, Liv, there's a lot about you I can't forget."
She let out a shaky breath and stared into his eyes.
"See ya tomorrow," he whispered, glancing at her lips. It was knowing his child stood twenty feet behind him that gave fuel to his self control and allowed him to rein in his need to touch her.
David took a step back and then another. It was still early, his appearance back into her life, and he knew he needed to be patient. If only time was on their side, but unfortunately that was not the case.
He turned on his heel and focused his attention on his daughter. "Come on sweetheart, let's go audition." Olivia Buffenbarger would have to come around, whether she wanted to or not.

John Skeel has landed on his feet. The former El Dorado Hills Community Services District general manager took the reins of the Tahoe Resource Conservation District on July 23.
You might still run into him in the supermarket, however. Reached by phone, Skeel said he was "thrilled" to be able to stay in the area, and that his family will remain in El Dorado Hills for now.
His new office is in South Lake Tahoe, near Camp Richardson, but he expects to be back in El Dorado Hills on weekends.
At this point, there are few in the community who don't wish him well.
The job marks the first of two milestones that will bring closure to his firing, an ugly year-plus of allegations and denials that culminated in Skeel filing suit against the EDHCSD and its board members, and the board replacing its legal counsel.
A board recall effort that followed is unlikely to make the deadline for the November ballot, which requires 4,235 valid signatures for each of the five board members by Aug. 10.
The second milestone is the resolution of the lawsuit, which is rumored to be at hand. Stay tuned.
I wish him well. What he went through was unquestionably on of the low points for El Dorado Hills. It is a lesson for future boards on how not to act. I guess the problems employees must work under, what nepotism looks like and how you can get ahead if you are "friends" of the right person has been swept under the rug. We can only see what happens after this election, and if new rules are enacted to weed out problem employees.Reply
I wish John Skeel well. And I still hope he gets a bundle of $$$$ for what happened to him. Which Board member was it that said that no matter what the payout, the CSD's insurance would cover it? Brilliant baffoon(s).Reply
I wish John and his family well. The way he was treated in EDH, should be a learning experience for everyone, unfortunately it was at his families expense. I still can't believe it's over a year and half later and we still don't have a GM for the EDH CSD!? There are so many flaws. I do hope he wins his case for wrongful termination and is awarded the dollars he deserves. I just hope the voters remember all this and remove the one person that shouldn't be re-elected in November.Reply
My name is Bill Tobin, I am running for the EDH CSD board, please take a moment to visit my website. www.tobin4csd.com It's time we restore integrety to our CSD board, Thanks for your support.Reply
My name is Terry Crumpley and I am running for the EDH CSD board, as well. I believe in common sense decision making and fiscal responsibility. We should have confidence in those we elect to represent us. Please visit my website at http://www.TerryForEDHCSD.com or email me at: [email protected] Thank you!Reply
Best news the EHD residents have had all year. Best wishes to John and his family.After all they have been thru, that they still want to call EDH home says lots of the great residents in the community. Next we all need to stand by our community and get rid of the cancer sitting on the Board. I can't believe she is running again. This shows she has no conscience. And her side kick is in full bloom. Get rid of 2 rotten apples with one vote!! This alone will show the Skeel family that we are so sorry for the high school playground behavior of the PAST board member.Reply
...is El Dorado Hill's loss. Obviously Skeel was highly qualified to land a job with a pending lawsuit. I'm so happy for the Skeel family! Now if we can only clean up the CSD family. Remember it is the current board that created this mess and the unsettled lawsuits. I suggest people pay attention to the upcoming election and make sure the 2 incumbents running are not allowed to continue to put our community at risk. It's time for a change and there are 4 other candidates running. I know who not to vote for and I wish these new candidates good luck. El dorado Hills deserves better. We need integrity and people interested in supporting the entire community instead of their friends and special interests.Reply
Amen to the last 2 above comments.Reply

wanted to call it D but the system suggested I call it E
I just initialised my 1TB hard Drive (which is still empty) and wanted to call it D but the system suggested I call it E because other programs may wish to use the D that has been allocated to the Optical Drive.
So I left it at E.
Any particular reason why I can't go back in and change mechanical hard drive to D and the Optical Drive to E?
In passing, when I initialised the mechanical drive I set the Simple volume at less than the Basic figure shown and now have a tiny unallocated portion - do I just ignore it? (Never initialised before, so I guess it goes down to experience)

Hello Aurondium,
If you like, you certainly could safely change the drive letters around on the DVD and HDD to what you wanted.
Drive Letter - Add, Change, or Remove in Windows
|My System Specs
|20 Mar 2014
I've decided to leave the drive letters as is, but thought I'd have a go and went back in and formatted that unallocated portion of the mechanical drive and gave it a Drive letter F. All seems to have been accepted so so I guess that gives me a little extra space should I need to use it at some point.
Thanks, Brink. Just creeping along here and learning as I go.
Switching all my user files from the SSD into the mechanical Drive seems to be my next task and I see there is a Tutorial for that.
Then I can apparently use Windows Easy Transfer facility to allow me to transfer whatever user file content (if any) I wish to transfer from my existing machine to the new one - remembering to let WET know which drive I want the stuff to go to.
Mind you, once the files are set up I can copy and transfer/download pictures/Documents etc., between files/machines any time I want to, via flash drive or external HDD - no?
Just thinking aloud - don't mean to trouble you. I'm happy to run with two machines for a while -.

You're welcome. I'm glad you got it sorted.

Hi Brink.
I'm curious and there's probably a simple answer to this.
I created a System Image Back Up as per the Tutorial and everything went fine as per the tutorial pictures. I only copied the default System files on SSD and put the image on an external SSD and then out of pure curiosity I popped the USB into my old computer to check the Image was on the SSD.
There was a file item on the SSD marked Windows Image Back Up and dated today but it just showed as an empty file. I know from the free space on the external drive that the imaging must be there but was just wondering why it shows up in the listed contents as an empty file.
|My System Specs
|21 Mar 2014
You should be able to open the WindowsImageBackup folder and subfolders to then be able to see it's size afterwards.
|My System Specs
|21 Mar 2014
I put the usb into the new computer and eventually poked into the Image file and see amongst others a VHD file with around 17GB of stuff in it so I gues it's all okay. Thanks.

Maserati introduced a luxury SUV at the Detroit Auto Show – the second time in nine years. The difference this time is that the executives plan to build it. Chrysler Group's Jefferson North Assembly plant in Detroit will build the luxury Kubang SUV, which will be built on the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The SUV will be exported throughout the world. This SUV will be powered by an engine built in Italy by Ferrari.
It will be mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission. Harald Wester, Maserati's CEO, said that his company will also develop the interior parts. Fiat S.p.A. (Chrysler Group's parent company) owns Ferrari and Maserati. In 2003, Maserati had presented a luxury SUV concept in Detroit but the vehicle never got the green light.
The concept vehicle on display in Detroit is the same one that had its global debut this September at the Frankfurt auto show. Maserati has yet to release the pricing, specifications, and name of the SUV.
There is currently no SUV in the lineup of the luxury performance brand but Wester explained that an expansion into the segment was required for Maserati's development. He said that it's now the right time to build this Maserati model.
The new Maserati Levante combines superb off-road capabilities with the already outstanding on-road handling of Maserati cars. As it is, the Levante is laden with an assortment of performance-oriented elements. For instance, the new Levante has the lowest center of gravity in the luxury SUV class and extensively employs lightweight materials.
In addition, it features an ideal 50-50 weight distribution as well as an unparalleled level of agility in its class. Moreover, the Levante has an aluminum "double wishbone five-link" suspension layout that includes electronically controlled Skyhook shock absorbers and standard Air Springs. This suspension layout, along with the Torque Vectoring system and the intelligent Q4 All-Wheel-Drive system, allows the new Levante to deliver a whole level of comfort and handling both on-road and off-road.
This new SUV is also provided with off-road equipment. Serving as the heart of the Levante is the latest iteration of the Maserati petrol and diesel 3-liter V6 engines. Customers could choose between any of the two petrol V6 engine featuring the latest GDI and twin-turbo. The 350hp V6 petrol allows the Levante to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in just six seconds and reach a top speed of 251 km/h.
On the other hand, the 430hp version allows Levante to accelerate from nil to 100 km/h in only 5.2 seconds and achieve a top speed of 264 km/h. The 275hp common-rail turbo-diesel version, meanwhile, features direct injection technology and reduced dwell time injectors to allow the Levante to dash from a standstill to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and reach a max speed of 230 km/h, while consuming just 7.2 liters per 100 kms (New European Driving Cycle or NEDC).

1.Massage your tresses with warm coconut oil at least an hour before you wash your hair. Ensure that your tresses completely absorbs the oil by applying generously from roots to tips. Once done, wrapped with warm or hot towel for an hour or so. You can also use other source of hair oil if coconut oil is not available. I have tried this myself and it has been very effective.2.Take nutrients that are vital for optimum grow hair fast. Biotin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin A, Vitamin C. Niacin, Iron, Calcium, Folic Acid are just a few of the many nutrients that are important for mane growth. You can just buy a good pack of multivitamins for your supplements. You can also drink a glass of milk every day as this is a good source of calcium.
3.Avoid brushing your locks while it is still wet. This will cause your mane to stretch and break. You can however use a wide –toothed comb instead of a brush to avoid breaking your hair.
4.Avoid wearing tight hairstyles and frequently styling your tresses with the use of spray net or gels. This will just contribute to making your hair dull and brittle.
5.Wash your hair with mild herbal shampoo and conditioner. Herbal shampoos have helped to make your grow hair fast. If possible, shampoo your mane every other day to avoid drying your hair. Shampooing every day can take your hair's natural oil and will leave it dry.
The above tips are just a few of the many practical ways you can restore the beauty of your mane. Massaging your hair scalp with oil, taking nutritional supplements, using a wide-toothed comb when your locks is wet, avoiding frequent hair styling and washing your tresses with mild herbal shampoo every other day are good practical solutions.

Skip to comments.Guy filming emergency workers at the scene of occupy Vancouver gets verbally accosted then assaulted
Posted on 11/09/2011 1:19:35 PM PST by smokingfrog
Police and emergency services are at the scene to recover the body of a dead female protestor from her tent that overdosed on heroin. Occupy Vancouver heroin assault guy filming protestor overdose tent police 2011 Location Vancouver British Columbia Canada
JUST LIKE the tea parties, eh, Hussein Heads?
The same thing happened to me in Zuccotti Park, and I was just filming one of their general assemblies. They don't think the rules apply to them.
I forgot to mention that there is also some bad language involved.
Well, it's obvious by how they've been treated, they don't.
Dirty hippies aren't not about peace and love...man...
Self governing communes built upon the power of a mob...what could possibly go wrong? Lord of the Flies is really a documentary.
"They dont think the rules apply to them."
Apparently, they don't. No mayor or police chief that I know of is doing anything about this illegal activity.
My husband walked by occupy Boston last night. Apparently, the occupiers are short on money.
Well, yes, this is terrible language:
Police and emergency services are at the scene to recover the body of a dead female protestor from her tent that overdosed on heroin.
I hate it when tents over dose on heroin.
Water cannons then stomp'n drag they're butts.....
Idiots. They want the world to pay attention but only on their terms.
And at the end did I see the police tell the crime victim to leave public property and don't arrest the theives and assualters. Also he was the victim of assault and theft - they stole his battery. The cops are now working for the commies in Canada?
Assault and battery? Wow.
Thanks for the ping, SandRat.

EA triumph
Thought I'd put this thread here under other species.
Well it's not often we heap praise on the environment agency and to be honest I'm not 100% sure it's the EA or a thing called the Ribble trust.
As rivers have got cleaner because it of loss of industry both Salmon and Sea trout started appearing in the Calder which is a tributary of the Ribble,the problem was the fish would get as far as an old industrial weir at Padhiam and get no further.
Anyway five years later fish passes have been made at great cost from the weir at Padhiam and then many miles upriver into two smaller tributaries which includes a small river near my house called Colne Water,I've fished it for years for wild brown trout but tonight I caught a beautiful Grayling around a pound a lost a few more,not since before the industrial revolution will this river have Grayling in if they were ever in at all,a few salmon Parr were also found last summer which surprised everyone inc the EA as it's happened quicker than what they thought.
There's still a lot of work to do as so much habitat has been lost due to flooding and bad farming practices but it's amazed me as those Grayling have travelled over twenty miles from the Ribble up the Calder and all the way round the other side of Pendle hill,I know on the Teifi you've witnessed em inhabiting the system,I truly had no idea they would use the fish passes like this to find new ground?
That is good news.I was born and bred in Widnes.The Mersey was probably the most polluted river in Britain,from chemical and sewage waste.It is unbelievable that salmon are now running the river and in the shadow of the Liver buildings it is supposedly one of the prime spots for catching cod.
One correction I need to make though is that it's nothing to do with EA and all down to the Ribble trust so even though the EA keep banging on about habitat they have done nothing in this story,habitat wise though this small beck has gone downhill with these huge floods filling all the pools,I've also found eels and lamprey recently which have been absent for along time also,anyway I can now fish for Grayling near my door instead of travelling to the Wharfe.
Great news...most of the really good work is done by rivers trusts.
There is a newish approach called CABA (catchment based approach) which means that the local rivers trusts are the main executors of the plan.
I know the Ribble trust very well (doing some software work for them at the moment) and they are a fantastic bunch of people who really know their stuff.
I get a lot of stats from them regarding habitats and fish movement and the work they have done so far has been astonishing.
They've planted trees and put up lovely signs with pics of otters and fish and birds etc,they've really made a difference on my local stream but even the trust didn't expect Grayling to move up through the systems unimpeded and to colinise this small river,the real crazy thing is Pendle water seems devoid of them and even the Calder only seems to produce the odd big fish so how and why the Grayling knew to travel so far to live in the smaller Colne water is very odd but I'll take it lol.
I'd love to know what the EA do with my £70 rod license fee,they could join up with the Ribble trust and make a difference?
apologies, only just seen your reply.
Agree, I'd also love to know where the EA money goes with regards to game fish.
All the rivers in England are using this catchment based approach - I suspect a lot of it will also help with the flooding.
It's a simple plan really which says 'stop looking just at the river and look at what feeds the river' - amazed it hasn't been the plan from the beginning.
THE biggest improvement they can make and quite easily is to remove the barriers for migratory fish. Where this has been employed, results are immediate.
Unfortunately the Lune Rivers Trust have agreed yet another hydro on the river near killington!
I was chatting to the lady who runs the Tyne earlier this year and their approach is to remove all barriers.
Sadly that's only part of the problem and removing cormorants is just too difficult due to the powers of the bird fraternity.
What they can do to help is to give smolts safe passage or at least somewhere to hide on their way out!

¡Qué OjOnes! Trailer (2014)
Luis Raúl takes over the arena stage for his final stand-up show, recorded live at Puerto Rico's renowned José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan on September 14, 2013. Many jokes include being the first stand-up comedian to perform at the venue and his comparative to other artist's demands when visiting a venue opposed to his demands, to the importance of one's eyes (theme of the show), traditional Puerto Rican remedies, his own mother, television infomercials, marijuana, his fiscal problems with past-due back taxes, and, of course, sex. Marking his last unplanned curtain call in his career, "Qué OJOnes" ("What BIG EYEs!") was brought to the big screen as an posthumous homage to one of Luis Raúl's final wishes before his death.

EP's Elisabeth Wilkins lost her brave, optimistic battle with cancer last week. She loved supporting people on their parenting journey and we will continue to do so for you, for ourselves and for Beth.
"There's nothing more important in this life than love."
These were the words Empowering Parents Editor Elisabeth Wilkins left with us on her final Caring Bridge post, the day she learned that cancer would soon take her life.
Beth passed away on July 26th. She was a woman who cherished her husband and young son, a gifted and sensitive writer, and a dear friend to many. I worked with Beth for six years as a member of the EP editorial staff and was fortunate to become her friend. I'd like to share some thoughts with you about an extraordinary person who was instrumental in the development, growth and heart of this website.
In the 13 months that she lived with cancer, she spoke of the "imperfect love" she shared with her family and how thankful she was to have another day to share that love with them. That term stuck with me because it was so true and so Beth. The love we have for our children and our families isn't the glossy and perfectly staged stuff of stock imagery on websites or TV. It's the frantic reminder you give your child when she goes out the door in the morning, when what you'd really rather do is just hug her. It's the never ending effort you put into your child, wondering and worrying if you're doing it "right or wrong." It's the relationship that's forged from hard conversations you wish you didn't have to have. It's the bond that deepens when you face fears together, with no idea of the outcome.
Beth understood that, and from the very beginning of EP, she worked to make sure this was a place where parents could come—out of love for their kids—and not be perfect. She made it okay for people to talk about both the mundane stuff of raising kids and the really tough stuff, without judgment. In many ways, the opening accepting demeanor of this website is a direct reflection of Beth. That's how she was, too. You could talk to her about anything. The absurdity, the joy and the truly scary things. She was there for you—present, real, caring, funny, insightful and never, ever judgmental.
She wasn't afraid to share her own missteps, fears and hopes as a parent. You could relate to her in Is Yelling the New Spanking? when she talked about yelling at her son as she tried to get him out the door, and feeling bad about it afterwards. You felt her pain when she described seeing her son being held down on the ground by another boy in Battling the Playground Bully. You understood how tricky it was for her to talk to her son about how to handle the bully when she and her husband fundamentally disagreed about it. Beth wasn't afraid to put it out there and to just be human. In doing so, she helped to create a place where we can all just be human.
I remember a day early on in the development of EP, when a reader emailed Beth to share a note of thanks. "It's like you've been looking in the windows of my house and know my family. I'm starting to parent differently, and my kids' behavior is finally changing. And, best of all, I don't feel alone anymore." She was so excited to share this email with all of us. She knew she was making a difference in people's lives. That's what gave her energy.
On December 14, 2012, I was in an airport, trying to make sense of breaking news I was seeing on TV screens. The horrific shootings had just taken place in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. My cell phone rang. It was Beth, shaken, fighting back tears. We talked about what was happening, shared our disbelief, and she then did what millions of parents did that day. She went to the bus stop to hug her son when he stepped off. Writing about the Sandy Hook tragedy was one of the greatest challenges Beth had as our editor. It was a sad national inflection point for parents. The piece she produced, Responding to School Violence: How to Move Forward with Your Family, was personal, insightful and beautiful. "While we all have our own ways of addressing this publicly, I think one thing we can all do is start small at home." She asked, "What if we were to create a movement of kindness" that began with doing something kind for your child. "Empathy, kindness and connection: they're not the answer to all our problems—and I realize our problems are extremely complex—but without them, we are lost."
I think about Beth every morning. There's a hummingbird that comes to visit our red hibiscus in the morning, right as I am having coffee. Beth loved hibiscus. One morning last week, as the hummingbird was flitting in for a visit, I opened Facebook, scrolled and found an EP blog post by Beth that one of my FB friends had shared and tagged to get the attention of her teenage son, Nate. The post was called 10 Things I Want to Teach My Child Before He Turns 18. Along with the post, my friend wrote, "Nate, there is some great advice in here in case you haven't learned it yet. I'm so proud of you." Boy, did I smile when I read that. A moment of kindness and connection between a mom and her child. I know Beth is smiling, too.

Group 4 round-up
Miroslav Klose hit a hat-trick to deny Finland a surprise win in Group 4 and salvage a 3-3 draw for Germany in Helsinki.
By Ben Collins
Last Updated: 10/09/08 9:07pm
Miroslav Klose hit a hat-trick to deny Finland a surprise win in Group 4 and salvage a 3-3 draw for Germany in Helsinki.
The hosts took the lead three times but each time they were pegged back by Klose, who took his international scoring tally to 44 goals in 85 appearances.
Germany had hammered Liechtenstein 6-0 in their opening 2010 World Cup qualifier on Saturday but fell behind to a 33rd-minute strike by Jonatan Johansson, which sparked a frenetic finish to the first half.
Klose equalised five minutes later and although Mika Vayrynen restored the Finns' lead in the 43rd minute, Klose levelled again on the stroke of half-time.
Famous victory
Daniel Sjolund had replaced Mikael Forssell in the 41st minute and within 12 minutes had put Finland 3-2 up.
Stuart Baxter's men looked on course for a famous victory as they remained in front deep into the second half, only for Klose to strike again and seal his treble seven minutes from time.
Azerbaijan had a great chance to claim their first win in eight qualifiers as they hosted fellow minnows Liechtenstein, still reeling from their 6-0 thumping by Germany.
However, Berti Vogts' men were unable to break down the visitors and were held to a 0-0 draw.
A crumb of comfort for the Azeris is that they put an end to a five-match losing streak in qualifiers.
Earlier, a late Pavel Pogrebnyak strike gave Russia a 2-1 home win against Wales in the other Group 4 match.

"1st class treatment,very friendly,treated very..."
About: Darent Valley Hospital Darent Valley Hospital Dartford DA2 8DA
Posted via NHS Choices
What I liked
I was rushed to Darent Valley Hospital due to an abnormal abcess growth across my neck. The visit was made a priority visit by a local (Purfleet, Essex) mobile paramedic. Whilst in the waiting room, for which was only a short wait, a resident doctor noticed the discomfort i was in and also the size of the growth. The doctor examined me and immediately referred me to a specialist EMT Hospital in Medway, knowing of the severity of the situation. As my son was driving and being from the other side of the bridge he did not know how to get to this hospital and the nurse on duty very kindly printed him off directions via Google maps.
I would just like to take this moment to say a very big thank you to the doctor and the team for treating me so well and in responding to the situation to hand so swiftly.I could not have asked to be seen by a better doctor.
What could be improved
Nothing comes to mind, could not have been treated any better nor about the surroundings.

Designing to Reward our Tribal Sides
We are a species that depend on one another. Scientists theorize humans have specially adapted neurons that help us feel what others feel, providing evidence that we survive through our empathy for others. We're meant to be part of a tribe and our brains seek out rewards that make us feel accepted, important, attractive, and included; all in the form of social rewards.
Many of our institutions and industries are built around this need for social reinforcement. From civic and religious groups to spectator sports, the need to feel social connectedness

More and more companies from the machining industry are using the ValueFacturing system developed by MR in order to make their production processes more effective and future-proof on their way to becoming smart factories. Stangl & Co. GmbH Präzisionstechnik, based in Roding, Germany, was among the first to implement the innovative assistance system from Reinhausen. The company, based in the Bavarian Upper Palatinate region, has now also calculated precisely how much this system has benefited them. And the results are impressive!
Johann Hofmann developed the ValueFacturing assistance system for MR. While still bearing the product name MR-CM, it was first subjected to comprehensive testing and examination at Reinhausen itself and found to be of good quality. The system has been in continuous use since then, but now under the name "ValueFacturing" since the update to version 3.0. Hofmann now heads the MR business area named after his software, which has successfully marketed the manufacturing assistance system to other companies in the machining industry. During his factory visit to Stangl & Co. in Roding, the managing partner Hans Stangl and the project manager Florian Dürr reported on the progress they have achieved since the assistance system was introduced to NC manufacturing.
The conclusions of both were overwhelmingly positive. Thanks to ValueFacturing, their company has made enormous strides toward implementing a digital factory. Non-productive downtimes have been eliminated to a large extent, set-up times have been reduced dramatically, and there is now far less need for replacement tools. All this has led to an increase in productivity and efficiency of around 70 percent. As Hans Stangl explains: "In 2009 we reached a point where our manual manufacturing control system could no longer keep pace with our continuing growth and the numerous parts that had to be machined as a result. For this reason, we decided to invest in the assistance system from Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen." Florian Dürr, who implemented ValueFacturing at Stangl & Co. and is responsible for maintaining the system, adds: "A great advantage is that MR works with this manufacturing management solution itself. The benefits are tangible in the highly practical nature of the system and in the continual development and adjustment of the system to meet user requirements."
The integration of the assistance system at Stangl & Co. has led to a complete re-organization of production. In the five years since NC manufacturing was made completely subject to management by the software solution, over 170,000 setup orders have been processed, of which 70,000 were SFP and around 45,000 were NC programs. "In order to handle this huge volume of orders, under our old system we undoubtedly would have needed 20 additional qualified employees – and those are hard to find these days," adds Hans Stangl. Since the start of the project in 2009, the company's sales revenue has almost tripled. During this time, the number of employees also grew by 110 to 253, and the number of CNC machines was increased from 25 to 60. "However, having well-trained and motivated people involved in your company continues to be important," concludes Hans Stangl. "Without them, having the best software counts for nothing."
ValueFacturing is so far the only completely web-based software solution for manufacturing management which connects all systems and roles in a manufacturing process into a network and enables bi-directional, online communication in real time. At the same time, the system can enhance collected information in an intelligent way. Unlike with conventional data-management systems for manufacturing, this creates a consistent, electronic workflow which makes manual data input and forwarding unnecessary.

Böhm began his training at MR in 1956, later working in the metalworking shop, as a machine operator, as a technician in customer service, and finally as the head of the MR training center. Though he's been retired since 2002, he feels connected to the company to this day. As he recalls it, he gradually grew into his role as head of the training center.
It was Manfred Böhm's own idea to began teaching his customer service colleagues about tap changers. "Little by little, I procured a few tap changers for training, and eventually even a separate room. But all this was still long before the official formation of the training center," he says. "It wasn't long before the concept was expanded to include drives and all of the documents related to the exhibited devices. But, initially, this was still just within the customer service department. The concept kept getting bigger. I could not have guessed at the time what shape it would take."
The transition from internal to external training was smooth. Soon, sales colleagues starting sending customers to Manfred Böhm. "The need for training became clear as questions regarding our products were increasingly raised. In 1976, the first official training registration was recorded on a beer coaster - which is still on display for people to see. The majority of our initial customers came from Germany, but the interest quickly became international."
Since 2007, Reinhard Wolf has led the ever-expanding MR training center - located at the Haslbach plant - which doubled in area to its current size of 700 square meters in 2013. "We can meet almost any customer request with respect to training dates and content," says Wolf. His team now includes five permanent trainers – "all old hands with lots of experience, we have the practical knowledge and we know our customers." Six modern training rooms and a separate area with control and monitoring systems are available, as well as working models and objects on display from over 300 different MR products from the last 65 years. "We will continue our development into the future and have a very positive outlook on the coming years."
Those who decide to join the MR team come to stay – often for a lifetime. Not only that, it has also been a long-standing tradition that several members of the same family find their professional home at the various Reinhausen Group locations throughout the world. Husbands and wives, mothers and daughters, or fathers and sons - like Alan and Grant Brown.
The two are in luck this time. At the Henderson primary substation close to the city of Auckland in New Zealand, the duo are given four days to service the multiple diverter switch inserts of a 100 MVA transformer and to replace its MA7 motor-drive unit manufactured in 1973 with a state-of-the-art TAPMOTION® ED motor-drive unit. Regular and careful maintenance could keep the tap changers installed here in operation for many years to come.
It's a balmy 25 °C autumn day without a cloud in the sky. Alan and Grant are working in an airy workshop at the primary substation. "A luxury," says Grant while he patiently removes the diverter switch insert from an OILTAP®. "I prefer it when it's cool." Grant neatly arranges the switch components and the diverter switch housing on his workbench, then carefully replaces the copper contacts and replaces the braided leads with new ones. Everything is done carefully and cautiously, which is just as well since Alan simultaneously oversees the winching out of another diverter switch insert that needs complete refurbishment. Altogether, the transformer has three on-load tap-changers and they all need servicing. Alan watches as the device is lifted out of the top of the oil compartment by a cable winch. He then carefully inspects the diverter switch insert once it has been lowered to the concrete floor.
"We have quite a bit of responsibility here," says Alan Brown. "When the restored transformer is put back into commission, we know that we have done our job well and correctly." Alan has been working as a service technician for MR for 18 years. "In a lot of companies, you are just a number but at MR you feel like you're part of the family," he says while summing up his experience.
His son Grant has just recently returned to Australia from a four-week training session in Regensburg for his Premium Service Provider certification. Grant has been with the company for five years since joining MR straight out of school. "I prefer working as a service technician over sitting in front of a computer," he explains. "Sometimes I just see Alan as a work colleague, not a dad. Someone you would like to get a beer with when the job is done."
All over the globe experts from the MR Power Quality division are keeping grids stable. Especially in circumstances where customers have requirements which cannot be satisfied by standard solutions. This was the case, for example, in Lüchow, Lower Saxony, where additions to the machine fleet of a large automotive supplier was threatening to throw the grid of a regional electricity provider off balance.
The enormous Hatebur and Hasenclever hot-forging presses used at Hay Speed Umformtechnik GmbH in Lüchow exert a force in excess of 20,000 N on the red-hot bar stock in order to split it and shape one truck or car component after another in a matter of seconds. Eight ring-rolling mils roll many forged parts to even larger diameters. Each of these systems is switched on and off again several times a day, requiring huge amounts of reactive power when powering up and during operation. When Hay Speed last expanded its fleet of machines, it encountered a problem.
The shift to renewables in the district of Dannenberg, most of which is rural, is gathering pace: Hundreds of photovoltaic systems are feeding environmentally-friendly electricity into the grid of the region's largest electricity provider. When everything is running smoothly, the provider can ensure the grid quality needed for the many connected localities. But expanded production capacity at Hay Speed jeopardized this. Of late, each time the company's systems were started up they caused peaks in voltage in the superordinate grid which couldn't be compensated for. Several times, this had forced the electricity provider to switch off all photovoltaic systems. The owners of these systems and the electricity provider itself rightly demanded that Hay Speed resolve the problem and do it quickly.
A project team from MR designed two reactive power compensation systems for Hay Speed to quickly and reliably compensate for the voltage peaks produced by the switching operations of the large inductive loads. The individually constructed MR hybrid solutions each comprise a pure medium-voltage section for the base load and a low-voltage system of thyristor-controlled stages to compensate for dynamic voltage fluctuations; in each case a step-up transformer raises the voltage from 690 V to 20,000 V.
The systems are installed outside the HAY Speed factory in protective concrete stations. Since they were commissioned, the voltage fluctuation problems have been a thing of the past. Another benefit is paying dividends too. Reactive power doesn't cost the company anything any more because it takes up no more than a third of the free allocation provided by the grid operator.
POWER QUALITY BY MR Wherever rapid changes in load dynamically affect the voltage at the connection point or wherever very sensitive voltage regulation is needed, dynamic compensation systems from MR provide an effective remedy.
Reduction in energy consumption and noise pollution at the Munich airport. Operators are equipping all boarding bridges near the buildings with modern ventilation systems for parked airplanes to accomplish this goal. Active filters from MR play an important role in making this a reality. The filters ensure that the airport's power supply does not fall off balance due to the current harmonics caused by environmentally-friendly air-conditioning systems.
In the past, airplanes waiting at the boarding bridges at the Munich airport had to provide air-conditioning themselves. They operated their own auxiliary power units to supply this air. These units burn kerosene, expel large amounts of carbon dioxide and are very noisy. Now, the airport operators are changing course. By mid-year, 64 stationary, environmentally compatible systems are going into operation to supply heat and cooling to docked aircraft, eliminating the need to run the auxiliary power units. The new pre-conditioned air systems can filter and condense outside air directly at the parked position near the building, heating or cooling it depending on what is needed. The processed air then travels into the aircraft cabin through an insulated hose.
A significant component of the PCA systems are the air handling units (AHU), each of which has three drives. Six-pulse frequency converters regulate their speed. These converters cause current harmonics, which, left unfiltered, would jeopardize the safety of other electronic components. GRIDCON® ACF active filters from MR solve the problem. Modularly designed filters have been adapted to the respective AHU power rating classes and are mostly kept in outdoor air-conditioned housing units designed specifically for this purpose. The MR active filters maintain the voltage quality throughout the airport power grid and ensure an error-free power supply at all points of consumption.
With this solution, the MR experts in the area of Power Quality beat out well-known competitors in a complex bidding process. Their precisely calculated, cost-effective filter design and their impressive service concept were very well received. Regular operation of the first PCA system began in 2014, only a few days after the contract was granted. After a one-week test run, the German Technical Inspection Association (TÜV) confirmed that compliance with all rigorous limit values had been consistently achieved.
MR active filters take the strain off the power grid, extend the service life of equipment, and improve the safety of industrial facilities. Where current harmonics develop, complex control methods generate current which counteracts the distorted load current and supplements the grid power to become a pure sinusoidal curve. The interfering current harmonics are eliminated and the voltage quality is improved considerably.

On-load tap-changers from MR have legendary longevity. We wanted to find the age and location of the oldest tap changer still in use. So last year we asked customers all around the world to help us in our hunt, and the result was something of a surprise – we found it not far from our company headquarters. And the winner is …
In 1925, when Dr. Bernhard Jansen patented the mechanism he had invented for continuously controlling electric voltage under load, this was the start of a new era – in energy technology and the history of MR.
Since then, MR has been setting standards in the development and maintenance of measurement and control technology. This is demonstrated by the fact that 80 percent of the 250,000 on-load tap-changers sold over the decades are still in use today.
MR recently obtained some impressive examples of the extreme longevity of its products in a customer survey. Around 10,000 customers the world over were asked to help find the oldest MR tap changers still working today. Responses and evidence in the form of photos, certificates, and name plates flooded in from Africa, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and Europe. Some highlights:

Venice, 1734. Castrato soprano Tito Amato, star of Venice opera, has let fame go to his head. Neglecting his vocal practice for dubious pleasures, Tito finds himself demoted to secondary roles and overshadowed by a visiting singer who usurps his position. But when the murder of scene painter Luca Cavalieri threatens to close the opera house, Tito sees an opportunity to reclaim his status and jumps at the chance to find the killer. He is aided by Englishman Augustus "Gussie" Rumbolt, who is in Europe making his grand tour. The hunt for the person who wears the mask of Palantinus carries Tito and Gussie into the treacherous depths of the city of Venice, where Tito matches wits with the masked leader of a secret society bent on the destruction of Venice's Jewish ghetto.
Beverle Graves Myers, former psychiatrist, switched to writing and has since won the 2006 Million Writers Award. She is the author of short story collections, the Helluva War series, and the Tito Amato mysteries.
"Set in 1730s Venice, Myers' second baroque mystery skillfully guides the reader past the dangers of fame to the nature of music and love, fulfilling the promise of her well-received debut, Interrupted Aria…Myers provides an insightful and tender look at how those who are different - castrati, women, Jews - were treated at the time, as well as a wonderful view of elegant, decadent, nothing-is-as-it-seems-from-behind-the-masque Venice." (Publishers Weekly)
"Myers' second Baroque mystery returns readers to eighteenth-century Venice, where castrato soprano Tito Amato is again preparing for an opera role at Teatro San Marco - but not the lead…Along the way, Myers exposes readers to a dark side of Venice: prejudice. Often a victim of ridicule himself, Tito's heart aches for the Jews, who are forced to live in a locked ghetto and treated with contempt. Like a grand opera, Myers' story transports readers to a fascinating world of glamour, deceit, intrigue, and passion. Bravo!" (Booklist)
"Myers powerfully evokes a long-ago world where beauty walks with treachery and an intrepid hero who can't afford to lose his voice."(Kirkus Reviews)

Morning all! Thought I'd start to get a few Christmas cards done as we've hit November! Now I don't need loads but even still I don't want to spend ages making them so here's a classic gold and white make that was nice and simple to make but still has a bit of style about it……….well I hope so anyway!! Lol!
What I used…
Creative Expressions Single Stamp – Merry Christmas, Zentangle Flower
What I did….
1. So first of all I stamped the Merry Christmas stamp with Versamark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder, then I trimmed it down leaving a good sized border all around the image.
2. Then I stamped a portion of the Zentangle Flower in the top left hand corner and again heat embossed with gold. I also went all around the edge of the piece of card with my Versamark pad and edged in gold.
3. Then I mounted this onto a larger piece of card which I also edged in gold, and finally onto a white card blank.
4. To create my tangled Poinsettia I simply stamped the flower a couple of times, embossed it in gold and cut it out before gluing the two sections together.
5. Then I glued the completed flower in place and added a few gems to the other corners for a little added Christmas sparkle.
Hope you have a lovely weekend and see you next week
