The faces change at Sevilla, but the story remains the same. Every time the Rojiblancos cultivate a world-class talent, it's only a matter of time before they are forced to sell to the highest bidder.
Consequently, it came as no surprise when Ivan Rakitic was allowed to leave for Barcelona this summer on the back of a stellar season at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Club president Jose Castro insisted that Sevilla did not have to sell their star player, but the Blaugrana ultimately made him an offer he couldn't refuse. "The sale of Rakitic was very profitable because it was for an amount closer to €25 million than the €20m quoted and it was for a player who only had one season left on his contract," the Rojiblancos supremo explained to reporters last month.
Of course, Sevilla have long since established themselves as a producer of top talent, with Sergio Ramos, Jose Antonio Reyes and Jesus Navas all having come through the club's cantera in recent seasons. Furthermore, sporting director Monchi has established himself as one of the canniest operators in the transfer market by making colossal profits on low-cost signings such as Dani Alves, Julio Baptista and Seydou Keita.
Hardly surprising, then, that coach Unai Emery could see the writing on the wall long before the ink had dried on Rakitic's contract with Barcelona.
"The best thing from a sporting sense is that Ivan stay with us, but I understand that for various reasons he will go," he told Canal+ Liga in June. "And we have to be prepared for it. If he finally leaves, we have to work hard to get another Rakitic."
After failing to net a single Liga goal during the 2011-12 campaign, the Swiss-born set-piece specialist netted 12 times in all competitions the following season. Last season, Rakitic ascended to another level, scoring a total of 15 goals as he propelled Sevilla to Europa League glory and a fifth-place finish in the Primera Division.
Croatia legend Robert Prosinecki is certainly in no doubt that this is a player more than capable of making a huge impression at Barcelona.
"Ivan had a brilliant season at Sevilla last year," the former Real Madrid and Barcelona ace told Goal. "Expect nothing less than that from him at Barcelona.
"He will have no problem adapting to playing with the best players in the world, including Luis 'cannibal' Suarez!"
But while the future appears bright for Rakitic, what of Sevilla? Ahead of Tuesday's Uefa Super Cup clash with Real Madrid, the Rojiblancos have yet to settle upon a successor. However, their search does, at least, appear to be nearing its end.
After previously being linked with former Olympique de Marseille attacker Mathieu Valbuena - who has since joined Dynamo Moscow - Dinamo Zagreb starlet Marcelo Brozovic and Porto midfielder Hector Herrera, Sevilla are now reportedly closing in on Ever Banega.
The Argentine is hardly a like-for-like replacement for Rakitic. Whereas the shy Croat struggled to express himself during his fledgling career, Banega struggled to control himself. Indeed, the Valencia man is currently training away from the rest of his team-mates, with the club seemingly having given up on trying to tame a talented but troublesome individual.
Banega's time in Spain has been blighted by rumours of issues with alcohol and a succession of bizarre off-field incidents. Just days after joining from Boca Juniors for €18 million, he was embroiled in an internet sex scandal, while he has since endured a lot of car trouble.
In February 2012, he fractured his ankle and broke two bones in his leg after running over his own foot after leaving the handbrake off on his car. A few months later, his Ferrari caught fire because of a circuiting problem.
There are those that would argue that it is Banega who is not wired right, but there is no denying his ability, however unfulfilled. He has, after all, been capped 24 times by his country and Emery is well aware of what he can do, too, having worked with the midfielder for three seasons (Banega spent his first season in Spain on loan to Atletico Madrid).
So, Emery knows Banega well. Maybe he even understands him, having had his own alcohol-related problems.
Before Rakitic left the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan this summer, the Sevilla boss praised the Croat's character.
"He was an example both on and off the field," Emery wrote on his personal website in June.
The same could clearly not be said of Banega. He is undeniably a rough diamond. But one that Sevilla could yet turn into another gem.

Slade property services has been a market leader since Myanmar opened its doors. Since then SPS has been involved in some of the country's largest and most high profile real estate projects and continues to assist with Myanmar's development.
Hugo Slade, the founder and managing director of SPS, was the first member of the RICS to set up operations in Myanmar and is dedicated to increasing the standards of Myanmar real estate practice.
" City Mart Holding Co. Ltd. (CMHL) engaged Slade Property Services to value various properties for the purpose of compiling a security package for an international financing transaction. I was very impressed with how responsive and diligent the SPS team were in preparing the valuations. They were able to meet our tight deadlines notwithstanding that the properties were spread over three different cities in Myanmar. With SPS's assistance, we were able to secure the ground-breaking transaction and look forward to working with them again. "
"It is with pleasure and gratitude that we share comments on our experience with Slade Property as a leasing agent. While we have been leasing office space for a couple years now in the market, we have never before encountered such a level of excellence.
The staff effort was superior at each phase of the leasing process, including innovative efforts to develop relationships with prospective tenants, effective viewings and proactive facilitation during the sale negotiations/due diligence. All of these tasks, whether business-related or interpersonal, were accomplished with a noticeable degree of competence, humility, integrity and grace.
Thus, we highly recommend Slade Property for commercial real estate needs."
"I am more than happy to recommend Slade Property Services as a qualified Real Estate Agent and we have worked together for over a year. We see Slade Property Services as a professional and proactive partner that always takes the initiative in assisting all of our clients' needs. They have provided excellent service and always deliver a service that meets the client's satisfaction. We always had the pleasure of working with them across numerous business leads and we hope to develop our collaboration further."
"It is with great pleasure that we share our endorsement of Slade Property Services as a leading agent for our Lake Suites. As a new developer, HAGL Myanmar faced numerous challenges, and we truly express our gratitude that we have had Slade Property Services accompanying us through this tough market. At each phase of the leasing process, all tasks, whether business related or inter-personal, were promptly accomplished with an appreciable degree of competence, humility and reliability.
All things considered, we highly recommend Slade Property Services for commercial real estate needs."

Evolution of a Piece: Mushroom Cloud
As much as I do appreciate a finished work of art, I think I am more interested in the process of getting to that point even more. After talking to a friend about a particular illustration of Toad that he is quite fond of, the talk quickly turned to his love of mushrooms. For whatever reason, I have always found mushrooms fun to draw. The wheels started turning. At first I was thinking of an interesting way to draw Toad, but with all the strip mall art school treatments of the character out there, I wanted to turn my attention to an actual mushroom. This piece was conceptualized on my iPad using one of my favorite apps on the platform, Paper. I am still not too sure about using the iPad to produce polished work, but I find it invaluable as a conceptual tool.
There are a lot of problems with the initial iPad sketch, such as proportion, balance and color choice, but that is okay as it gives me a better idea of what the final piece should look like.
I loosely sketch in blue to get the basic size, proportion, etc. down and get the basic idea of what I want this thing to look like.
I am skipping quite a bit of work here, but it will give one more glimpse of what the piece looks like as I am working on it. This was originally going to be a full color piece, but I found it a lot more interesting to look at in grey scale, so after converting it, I kept working that way.
The final product.

Every Song At Once? OTB's Martin Garrix Interview

Martin Garrix
Not another
Martin Garrix
article; sorry folks! With the online fad of accentuating the seemingly overnight success of this young lad, I became upset with how articles or blogs that were written completely disregarded his music aesthetics. Sure, if you don't agree with an individual's music, critique the music, not unnecessary entities such as their image and etc. I decided to ask Mr. Garrix for an interview to fully understand who he is, and allow him to showcase himself, and enable music listeners to form an knowledgeable opinion about his music with all facts presented. Before divulging into an interview I am going to rant for a little, then showcase my interview with Mr. Garrix, and then after I will form my own opinion of him with some advice.
Related Articles:
Here Is The Rant:
So why did I decide to interview Martin Garrix? It's simple, I am disgusted that our current generation, which has the highest number of college educated individuals, formulates opinions about any topic (Martin Garrix in this case), based on other individual opinions and non-pertinent topics such as image. It disgusts me that instead of understanding an artist, judgement is created by solely reading another person's article or blog post without research. I wanted to break this trend; the trend of how ideas throughout politics, music, movies, etc. are diluted because of gibberish; I read all the blogs, all the articles, all the background information on Mr. Garrix, and utilized my formal education in music theory to formulate an opinion. I simply did not read another article posted about him on this site, which I respect the opinions of my fellow writer, and simply say I agree with him because I write for the same blog; yet instead, I respected his opinion, took it into consideration and formulated my own ideas. Conformity is something we must deviate from; we all have brains, lets use it. One of the major downfalls of this generation is that we rely on other entities to formulate our opinions with lack of research; in addition, when opinions differ, instead of defending opinions with facts and respect, vulgar language and nonsense is spat out. Its ok to dissent about topics. Hell I know people will not agree with me and I want them to disagree, it opens up forums and allows for different perspectives to been seen; however, the difference is that if you differ in opinion and do decided to write something, present valid points pertinent to the music and be respectful of my ideas or anyone else's opinions. On that note, enjoy the interview.
OTB's Martin Garrix Interview:
: Crowds and fans forget that you're still a teenager; how do you balance the everyday struggles of a teenager with the professionalism of the music industry? Is it overwhelming? Do you still experience the same problems "normal" teenagers face? If so what are some of the obstacles you overcome daily?
: I have a great team surrounding and supporting me during my tours and everyday life. Besides that, I try to spend as much time as I can with my friends and family when I'm at home, doing things teenagers do.
: What is your ideal day like?
: Sleeping till at least noon (sleeping is my hobby haha). Having breakfast with my fam, and then heading out for a couple of hours in the studio. After my studio time I would meet up with my friends and just relax.
: What made you want to become a DJ? What would you be doing if you weren't a DJ?
: I saw
playing at the Olympics in 2004, and from that moment on I knew I wanted to become a DJ. If I wouldn't have been a DJ, I would be a different kind of musician I guess.
: In your interview with Spinnin TV in 2013, you stated you started Dj-ing around 10 years of age and played for your parents friends party and etc. What made you fully divulge into Dj-ing rather than playing physical classical instruments such as piano, guitar, etc. Do you think those classical instruments impact your track constructions?
: Yeah they surely have been an influence in my productions. I sometimes start with a melody on my Spanish guitar.
: In electronic music, there is a variety of sub categories, dubstep, house, trance, etc. What do classify yourself under and why?
: Just Electronic Dance Music, maybe Big Room. It's a wide term for the dance music I produce. Don't want to put myself in boxes of sub categories.
: Of course you are inspired by a variety of electronic music artists; which artists are they and why?
: Tiesto, Dillon Francis, Hardwell, Calvin Harris and Disclosure.
: Outside of this genre, what other artists inspire you? How and why?
: Artists like Lana Del Rey and Ellie Goulding (love their voices). I look up to Pharrell as well, such a great producer and top of the bill artist!
: By attending a formal education institution that prepares you to produce quality music, do you see yourself continuing a career in electronic music or do you see your interest in the future swaying from this genre?
: This is what I love doing, if possible I will do this all my life.
: You stated in 2013 in your live interview with Spinnin TV that you have a love for hip-hop. Do you see a potential collaboration with a hip-hop artist, if so, who and why?
: Yeah I love hiphop, if I could pick any collab I would choose Pharrell.
: What is it like to see veteran producers, for example Sander van Doorn, deviate from their traditional style and move towards creating and playing out mainstream tracks?
: I think every artist goes through changes during his career. It's good to experiment and develop.
: Do you think you will ever deviate from your musical aesthetics for mainstream populations, or do you think you will stay true to your musical visions?
: I will stay true to my sound and what I stand for. My love for good music is too big to deviate from my aesthetics.
: Being so young, do you ever realize the impact your music has on large masses of crowds? Have you ever had a "Holy sh*t this is MY LIFE pinch me moment"; if so, when was that?
: I have a lot of these moments (haha). Playing Ultra Miami and Coachella for an example. Or the first time I heard a DJ colleague playing 'Animals'.
: The same goes with friends; is your group of friends older, younger, or the same age?
: It differs, in the dance scene most of my friends are older. But my friends at home are mostly at the same age as I am.
: Do people you used to know prior to being famous treat you the same now that you are famous? Does that impact your social group or music?
: Yeah my close friends treat me the same, I love that. Some people act different now, but I don't really care. That's the way things like this go I guess.
: Being a teenager, how do you react to large massive events? What part of your set do you live for and makes you the most excited?
: I love every part of my sets. It's just amazing to stand in front of the crowds all over the world and play your music. The energy level is so big, it gives me a lot of adrenaline.
: What has Spinning Records done for you as an artist?
: Spinnin' Records gave me the chance to release my first tracks and supported me from the beginning. I am very thankful for their guidance and support.
: Where you ever overwhelmed about the frequency of plays "Animals" was given versus your other works? Are you upset or flattered by how much that track has been played?
: Yeah it still feels unreal. Of course I was very excited, I had the feeling that the track had the potential to become a hit, but I never expected it to blew up this big!
: What track do you think will be your new "Animals", and why? Is that a good thing or bad thing in your eyes?
: Hard to say, I hope every track I am releasing will become as big as Animals, don't know if that's a realistic hope though (haha)! There are a lot of really cool tracks ready to release, so stay tuned!
: With the ongoing problems occurring in the world today, how do you think EDM music can alleviate some of the pain, struggles, and confrontations?
: I think EDM and music in general can beautifully unite people all around the globe. It's amazing to see all these people on every continent with the same love for music, great thing!
: You have done so many different collaborations. Do you like those more than producing music on your own?
: I like working with other artists, it's inspirational. But I love producing my own music too, it's great to create something that's your very own.
: What do other artists bring to the table that makes you choose to work with them? Or does spinning just put you all together?
: There has to be a good vibe between me and the other artists. That's where it all starts, you have to bring out the best in each other and also communicate on the same level. Besides that, you need to have a feeling with each others sound.
: Describe your relationship with Dillon Francis, both professional and personal? Why have you consistently done collaborations with him and performed on stage with him a lot? What aspect of his style appeals to you? How do you both mesh your music and agree on ideas?
: We are really good friends, got mad love for him and we just have constant fun together! What more can I say?
: With the performance you have at Nocturnal, what feelings and emotions do you want fans to walk away with?
: Excitement, happiness, adrenaline!
: What do your parents and family have to say about your music and the culture of EDM?
: They are really supportive, they love what I am doing. I try to bring them with me on tours as much as possible.
: Besides music, what are some other hobbies you part take in?
: Wind surfing and sleeping. ;-)
My Opinion on Martin Garrix and His Music:
I am not going to lie, when I want to rage I do like to throw some of Mr. Garrix's music on and throw my hand in the air and go cray cray; honestly who doesn't? And like Martin, I am a HUGE fan of Lana Del Rey (to the point where I cry when I see her) so I appreciate his tastes. So yes I am impressed that Mr. Garrix at such a young age has achieved so much and has learned so much; however, I was unimpressed with my interview with him. It was very short and non informative; walking away from this I really did not know who the real Martin Garrix was. I wanted to understand how the Spanish guitar helps him makes melodies or how the love of hip hop affects his music. It was unfortunate that I was not able to receive that information. As for the music, I have to hand it to Mr. Garrix, love it or hate it but fact is it is, Animals is one of the most played EDM songs. Yes its redundant, but people love it. I personally saw Mr. Garrix at Coachella and watching the crowd jump to a song that they had familiarity to allowed some unison to occur; its like when artists like Lady Gaga or Britney Spears play one of their top hits and the crowd goes crazy. Mr. Garrix is a crowd pleaser; he is an artist that knows how to literally throw a good party. But I wish I had more information to formulate an opinion about his musicality.
Future Advice for Mr. Garrix:
Mr. Garrix I wanted to say thank you for the interview; however, open up. Maybe when you play at Nocturnal some time during the entirety of the festival we could meet up, have a drink or two, hang out at my campsite, and I can possibly get to know you and your music more. People, including me, want to know what influences your music and how it does. I formulated so many questions that were not answered and that is fine; but people wanted to know some of the answers like: Are you working on an album? If so what is your new inspiration?, How does it feel to do a collab with someone literally 20 or 30 years older than you, and someone who's been in the game potentially since before you were born? Even better, what does it feel like to have such seasoned veterans, like Chromeo, to open for you? Do you take the problems that occur in the world into consideration when producing and creating your music? If so, how? We want to know things that are not easily found on a wikipedia page; rather we want to know something that brings a new element to your music. Also, having interviews is a great way to bring awareness to a cause. Artists like Bono, use their popularity to showcase their stance on some issue facing the world. Yes its amazing you play music at large venues and large crowds; however, maybe make more of an impact on humanity with the success you have attained. With the large problems in the world that are occurring, its amazing how individuals like yourself can make a large difference. A lot of children are in poverty, starving, and dying; there is a war going on. By bringing awareness to this side of the world could raise a lot of money as well as awareness and could possibly save thousands of lives. Once again thank you Mr. Garrix; I hope I was respectful enough and thank you to readers for reading the entirety of the post. These are simply my ideas and opinions and feel free to dissent.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Hardscaping' started by SDLandscapes VT, Jan 25, 2012.
I was looking at a F550 Supercab/Chassis and MSRP was $51,600
In all seriousness, those looking at the 450 and 550 style class trucks, the best move would be Isuzu, Hino, or Mitsubishi. You get more TRUCK and they go FOREVER.
Anyone ever hear of Bass Custom Landscapes in GA? If not, Google the name. Tony Bass has over 60 Isuzu trucks. At a seminar someone asked him "how often do you trade your trucks in?". Tony responded with "we don't, those Isuzus go forever".
We have a mulch and top soil supplier in the area. Good size, million dollar operation that started as 2 brothers delivering mulch with their 3/4 ton pick up, and the one brother's tandem axle dump truck. Over the years they had F350, F450 and F550. Multiples of them. Then they bought an Isuzu. I asked the owner this past spring "how's that Isuzu working out for you?" He replied "we love it, it's the best truck we ever had".
I have an old buddy in Ohio (and Aaron know who I'm talking about) who swear by Mitsubushi trucks.
One of these days when I buy another work truck, it will be either an Isuzu, Mits, or Hino.
Those little Isuzu trucks have the same payload as our F-650. Keep an open mind and do some research on them.
The Isuzu are very nice little trucks. I have 8 of them and they have been great. We stopped buying Chevy 3500's and 2500's for the maintenance division and switched everything out the the Isuzu cab overs and it has been the best thing that we have ever done. We no longer have all of the issues with stupid things breaking on trucks. We're not eating up brakes at the same insane rate as before and I haven't had any transmission issues either. I will add though that we do have a GMC C4500 with a 14' dump bed on it and it has been a solid vehicle as well. No major issues in the 8 years that we have owned it. My only regret with that truck was that I didn't pop for the additional $5K and get the Duramax in it. For what we do with it though the 8.1L gas / Allison trans combo is just fine.
I've read plenty of articles and had plenty of discussions on other boards about trucks and I firmly believe that for what most of us are doing we need to be using medium duty trucks. The 3/4 and 1 Ton trucks are fine for certian applications but for day in and day out hauling and working a medium duty truck is the best way to go. The additional cost of the vehicle will far out weigh the costs of having to repeatedly repair a vehicle that is being pushed beyond it's limits.
The 1 and the 1 1/2 ton truck is nothing more than a pickup up truck with a bog box on the back. So I agree, the industry really should use heavier trucks.
We have a Ford F-650. About a month ago or so someone on here commented "The F-650 doesn't have much more payload than a 550". And that's 110% correct. But the benefit is that the frame, the brakes, and the drivetrain is suited for heavier use. At 10 years old this summer the truck just got it's first replacement of brake pads. A smaller truck (550, 450) would have had 3 sets of pads and 1 clutch replacement by now.
With the Isuzu's (and other trucks like them), you get all that. Higher payload. Stronger frame. Bigger brakes. Stronger transmisson. And the ones I looked at all had payloads of about 10,000#. Our 650 will be long in its grave and parted out and sold for scrap before any of the foreign trucks are even 1/2 way there.
Great post--when I went to test drive the Terrastar I originally was at the dealer test driving a Mitsubishi. Of the two, I preferred the mits--however the payload and towing just isnt there. I will definitely be replacing my 3500HD chevy with an FG 4 x 4 mits when the time comes, but for landscaping and hauling trailers, machinery, and material I feel that the terrastar would be a better match--I should also add that we are looking into a switch and go body setup and no matter how we sliced it with the weights we were looking at the Terrastar seemed to be a better fit. I m not sold on the terrastar, but the pricing they gave me was very convincing--I just want to know if someone has some real world data on the recurring costs.
What sort of pricing have you come up with on the terrastar? We have a Freightliner fl-50, same size as the terrastar that has been in the shop maybe twice since we bought it used 5 years ago with 110k on it. Great little powerhouse of a truck. Not a ton of capacity but hauls it like a raped ape. Looking into mits and isuzu as well for a maintenance truck and saw the terrastar at a trade show not long ago. Feels like sitting in a newer f350 or 3500 pickup
I have been seriously considering these. Especially a cab over.
Yes they look funny; but they are easy to maneuver, every bit of length is utilized, fuel efficient.
I love the idea of plowing and being able to look down over your plow.
The Isuzu's only come in 2wd, but I have seen a number of contractors 'round here plow with them.
Also, the U.S. military has alot of cabovers, i'm guessing they're around 32,000 gvw, maybe even more. I'm not for certain but I think they're Mits?
When I got started in this business my 550 was 4wd, but the hubs were broken and you couldn't lock the front. I also couldn't afford new tires, I pretty much had school bus steering tires all the way around. Rarely did I miss the 4wd, never did I need it while plowing. (I did get stuck on flat ground on some ice in my back field one day, but was more tires than 4wd)
I think everyone gets 4wd on their dumps because they see everyone else has it. When in reality, it's rarely needed. Nice to have when your stuck, but easily avoidable for commercial plowing. Put a yard of salt in the back and you're good to go.
Also, some cab overs now come in 4wd. But it's not as common.

Road crews out in force to fix highway potholes
Road crews have been working throughout the night to repair flood-damaged sections of the New England Highway in the Hunter Valley, which yesterday caused havoc for motorists.
The road is under strain as traffic continues to divert from the flooded Pacific highway.
The Roads and Traffic Authority says the bulk of surface damage between Singleton and Scone has now been repaired and potholes north of Scone have been heavily signposted.
Police say the poor road surface may have contributed to the death of a 75-year-old man yesterday, who lost control of his three-wheel motorcycle on the New England Highway north of Scone.
There was also widespread damage to cars.
Muswellbrook tyre specialist Chris Kelly estimates well over 100 motorists damaged their cars on the road.
"We're getting a lot of impact fractures on tyres," he said.
"But we're seeing a lot of rim damage also, and pretty severe rim damage too, so the potholes that these guys are hitting are fairly significant."
The RTA says seven work crews will continue repairing the road surface today.

Our Week on Eduwonk
We spent the week guest blogging over at Eduwonk.com, the Ed Reform blog by Bellwether Education Partners' Andrew Rotherham. Here's a round-up of all of the posts from Monday, October 3 to Friday, October 7.
We spent the week guest blogging over at Eduwonk.com, the Ed Reform blog by Bellwether Education Partners' Andrew Rotherham. Here's a round-up of all of the posts from Monday, October 3 to Friday, October 7.
As has been widely reported (Times, Daily News, Reuters), Justice Feinman of New York Supreme Court recently dismissed the lawsuit (referred to as Steglich) aimed at seeking to stop the co-location of Upper West Success Academy Charter School in the Brandeis campus.
Over at the StudentsFirst blog today, I offer my take on where things stand after the recent ruling in the co-location lawsuit filed by the UFT and NAACP:
The question is where do we go from here? School leaders and teachers are focusing on opening their doors in a month's time. But the UFT and NAACP have vowed to continue their court battle.
When charter school critics wax eloquent about traditional school districts, I always wonder (sometimes out loud) when they became enamored of the Department of Education bureaucracy. I know many principals and teachers don't share that affection.
I sat across the aisle from Clifford Thomas at the PEP meeting yesterday. He looked bone tired. Cliff grew up in the projects, eventually making his way to Harvard. He has now returned to New York to start a public charter school in CSD 19.
I attended a session this morning at the National Charter Schools Conference on whether the charter movement can follow through on its accountability promise of closing low-performing charter schools. It's a critical topic for reasons too obvious to lay out here.
Fact is that too many states (though generally not New York) haven't been closing low-performing charter schools, and it isn't because we are wringing our hands about interfering with parent choice.
In today's NYT, we read about the mystery of the missing 20 yards from Lehman High School's football fieldówhich will somehow still be missing even after a nearly $4 million remodel. Where are those missing yards? If you listen to the bureaucrats at the Department of Education and the School Construction Authority, you would be led to believe that the US Army Corps of Engineers owns the land and won't give it up.

Hi, everybody,
Sorry that I haven't been writing much in the past few days, it's just that so much has happened that I don't know where to startJ
I spent the last few days in Frankfurt am Main which is a major financial Mecca in Europe. There is the European Central Bank at the Willy-Brand Platz (the building with a really big euro in front). The first thing that I had noticed when I got here was the numerous businessmen (and women) in suits, glued to their blackberrys and i-pads. In fact, while I was on the train from Freiburg, I was sitting next to an overstressed businessman who had a photo of a golden retriever on his screen saver (clearly not married, well, actually yes – to his job) and was bitching on his blackberry about cancelling all the planned breaks in a presentation for the next day. I was really relieved when I finally arrived to Frankfurt am Main.
Em (yep, remember that other blogger?) was waiting for me at the U-Bahn station. It was so good to see her after all this time! We had a bite to eat at Burger King which turned out to be a poor choice due to my sensitive stomach but a good night's sleep took care of that.
The next day, I went to explore Frankfurt. I took a subway to Eschenheimer Tor which is a beautiful 400-year-old tower now turned into a restaurant, looking like this:
Then I went on foot to Hauptwache, which lies in the very heart of Frankfurt am Main and also a beginning of a major shopping street in Frankfurt, called Zeil (all you shopaholics out there – you might want to learn this German word;))
|The Zeil photographed from above from some shopping mal
You can imagine how psyched I was to see all those cool shops all in one place. Yay! The Zeil has brands such as Benefit, Mac, Fossil, Pohland, Tommy Hilfiger, Claire's, Calvin Klein, Accesorize, Princess Tam tam, Bijoux Brigitte, Douglas, Mango and many (and I mean many when I say many) more.
Of course, I couldn't help myself with a little shopping spree. It was heavenly!
Here are some random snaps from Zeil and around Zeil:

The effect of renewable energy on employment. The case of Asturias (Spain)
Several changes are taking place in the energy sector as a result of the development of renewable energies and the implementation of new clean technologies. The use of renewable energies offers the opportunity to diminish energy dependence, reduce the emission of CO2 and create new employment. The involvement of local agents is highly important for the future development in this field, especially in regions whose industrial mix was based on traditional energy sources. Since this is the case in the region of Asturias (Spain), in this article we focus on the expectations of employment generated by renewable energies in Asturias during the period 2006-2010. More specifically we propose ratios of job per unit of installed energy power based on the available regional information in order to forecast energy employment in Asturias. With this aim three alternative scenarios are considered according to a range of possible future renewable energy pathways, leading to baseline, optimistic and pessimistic forecasts. Once these forecasts are computed we also analyse the emergent professional profiles and required skills related to the new jobs generated in the installation, operation and maintenance of the different renewable energy systems.

Maritana Grille at Don CeSar Ratings and Reviews
Service was not very good. It took awhile for our waiter to even acknowledge us, then took awhile to get cocktails. I got the fish special, and it was too dry. Other people at our table enjoyed their meals, so would probably give it another try. The ambiance was nice. We totally enjoyed the Don Cesar experience overall.
Party of 4 celebrated a special occasion. Our waiter was very helpful with cocktail, wine, and food selections (2 of us are vegetarian). Our reservation was for 6:45 on a weekday night, so the dining room was almost empty when we arrived. By the time we were finishing up (OK, we lingered!), the place was full and lively. A large party of conventioneers were in a long table in the center of the room. It got pretty loud. That didn't cause an issue with us...as we were also celebrating an occasion...but it would have been disruptive for a romantic couple.
It's a cozy, upscale dining room with aquariums and mirrors everywhere so seems larger than it is. We started with caprese salads which were ample and delicious! I had the snapper and my guy had the filet. The filet was outstanding, melt-in-your mouth, perfectly cooked goodness. With a mound of truffle fries my guy was a happy fella. My snapper was tasty, but I foolishly messed with the sides (choosing asparagus instead of the shrimp succotash and tomato bisque)...dumb, dumb, dumb. They gave me exactly what I asked for, tasty but very plain. Lesson learned: at the Maritana don't mess with the chef's menu. We finished with an amazing dessert called "Reveal." Our waiter said "think dinosaur egg." A bit pricey but worth it for the presentation alone. The pics below are before and after the "Reveal." Individual french pressed coffees topped off our anniversary dining experience perfectly.
Excellent bartrender, and servers. Somewhat noisy on a Saturday night, but you could still have a conversation. Food was cooked perfectly, and the service,again, was excellent! The young ladies working the front of the restaurant were cheerful,outgoing, and very pretty!,
We spent our 35th wedding anniversary dining at Maritana. It was a great decision and a wonderful experience! Our server "Ray Ray" was outstanding! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. We had a very good rapport. I had the perfect martini, thanks to a great bartender, and we enjoyed a most delicious meal. My husband said it was the best steak he's ever eaten. Believe me, he's had alot of steak, all over the world. I highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Raymond aka Ray Ray!
We are locals and it was our first time dining there. Not impressed. We made reservations several days in advance but ended up at a cramped table in the corner. Other couples walked in and were given large booths. Waiter was distracted. My water was never refilled so I drank my husband's. He had to ask twice for a second beer. I wasn't asked if I wanted another glass of wine or coffee with dessert. Salads were very good. Entree was ok. Rack of lamb was 2 pieces with a lot of fat. We have had better quality meals elsewhere especially considering the price. I would not recommend.
The service was great, I can even say that it was way too much! We had a great time! Food is not much, but very good! The only bad thing I have to say is that it took really long time to bring the food. We reserved by 8:15pm and we start eating hour and half later, and we really were not expecting that, but overall the experience was great!
We enjoyed our dinner and server was great. Only disappointment was we were seated back in a corner when the place was half empty and had made reservations way before our trip. Should have been by the windows overlooking the beach. My wine glass was filthy and was returned. Most were dressed per the dress code but there were a few very casually dressed. They should not have been allowed to dine. T-shirt and work out shorts are for McDonald's.
Food and Table Service was quite good (Thanks Jess). The hostess on the other hand (I believe her name was Maria), was arrogant a rude. We were quests at the Hotel for a long weekend yet had made our dining reservation through Open Table a couple weeks in advance. We were seated at the worst possible table in the restaurant. When we asked to be reseated the hostess was immediately dismissive and told us the place was booked. We fussed and we finally reseated with a far less than full house. We were told we'd have to hurry and eat quickly to avoid any conflict with other reserved (hotel) guests. Seems the Open Table reservation get second class treatment. Not a good reflection on the Don Cesar.
We started our meal with cocktails. My wife ordered a dirty martini which she enjoyed and I had a bourbon cocktail with blackstrap molasses. Both were very good though mine did not appeal to my taste. It wasn't a bad drink, just not my cup of tea. We both ordered salads, me the heirloom tomato salad and she the baby kale and frisee. Both were exceptional. My wife ordered the Maine lobster which was very good, but my snapper entree was a bit bland tasting. The fish was cooked perfectly, but the dish lacked any real pop. We shared a deconstructed tiramisu which I enjoyed, but, being my wife's favorite, she preferred a more traditional preparation. Overall the meal was good and I would be willing to try it again, but I found it to be somewhat overpriced given the results.
Une expérience culinaire incroyable, de l'entrée au dessert. Cette chef mérite les honneurs. Je voyage à travers le monde et franchement j'ai été très impressionnée. Bravo
Wonderful anniversary dinner at the Maritana Grill. Our server Noel was very attentive and made sure our meal was timed perfectly. As for the food, every course was spectacular. Note to first time diners at this restaurant - order the "Reveal" dessert - the presentation is amazing and the actual dessert is delicious.
Sadly, the Mariana Grille at Don CeSar is over rated and over priced. Given this is the premier restaurant at this high-end resort, you'd think it would be deserving of a great location, such as overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Instead it overlooks parking on the "wrong" side of the resort.
The staff are "okay" but certainly not what you would expect at such a high-end resort. The Matre'd needed to go to a tailor to learn how a sport coat is supposed to fit and a dry cleaner to get it pressed. The waiter was friendly and enjoyable but again, not what you'd expect at such a "high class" resort.
The food was unspectacular. In fact the Red Snapper was downright bland - flavorless.
We can now report we've done that, but I can't imagine going back. There are much better places in the area.
We had a great time here. We went for our 1st anniversary dinner and were greeted with that when we walked in. We got a great seat by the window, but could still see some of the fish tanks in the restaurant. Our waiter came to our table right away and opened our bottle of Dom that we brought with us. I had the Maine lobster and my husband had the filet mignon, both were amazing.

Otto Warmbier was rushed to a Cincinnati hospital shortly after arriving from Pyongyang late Tuesday night.
His nightmare started in March 2016 when North Korea says they caught the 22-year-old trying to steal a propaganda poster from the hotel he was staying at while on a tour of the reclusive nation.
A security camera allegedly caught Warmbier in the act.
He was arrested and weeks later brought to North Korea's supreme court where he pleaded for mercy.
"Please, I have made the worst mistake of my life, but please, act to save me," Warmbier said during his court appearance in March 2016.
But the judge showed no mercy.
In a trial that lasted just one hour, the native of Ohio was convicted and sentenced to 15 years hard labor.
"Please save my life," he pleaded with the court. "Please think of my family."
Warmbier's parents hadn't heard from or seen him since he was sentenced and found out just last week that their son had been in a coma for almost a year.
The Washington Post reports that Warmbier contracted botulism soon after his trial and never woke up. A senior American official tells the New York Times that Warmbier was repeatedly beaten while in North Korean custody.
His parents released a statement saying, "We want the world to know how we and our son have been brutalized and terrorized by the pariah regime in North Korea."
"We pray for him and we pray for his family," said Thomas Shannon, a high-ranking State Department official.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced Warmbier's release on Tuesday during an appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations committee.
"At the president's direction, the Dept of State has secured the release of Otto Warmbier. He's on his way en route home to be reunited with his family," Tillerson said.
In suburban Cincinnati where Warmbier is from, the local community there prepared for his return by tying white and blue ribbons around his neighborhood.
"The family's been through so much agony and stress that they just want to surround them with love, and I think putting up the blue and white ribbons – because those are Wyoming colors, the high school where he went – that kind of shows him support, that we're here for the family," said Amy Mayer, a neighborhood friend.
Warmbier's release comes as three other U.S. citizens are still being held in North Korea.

Unanswered: Subform Will Not Requery
I have a form with a number of subforms.
I am interrupting the delete event so I can use my own code to delete records or amend records. My code runs fine but I cannot get the form to requery. It displays no error and other than not requerying it runs fine. My code also requeries another form shoudl it be open but this works fine.
I'll show you all the code I have in the event but just highlight where it is falling over:
Private Sub Form_Delete(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
CheckCandidate = 0
CheckBooking = 0
Response = 0
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMsgBoxDelete", , , , , acDialog
' Check Response from Message Form
If Response = 1 Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
strSQL = ""
If CheckCandidate = 1 Then
strSQL = "UPDATE tblCandidateAvailability SET tblCandidateAvailability.Status = 'Available'" _
& " WHERE (((tblCandidateAvailability.CandidateID)=" & Me![CandidateID] & ") AND " _
& "((tblCandidateAvailability.AvailableDate)=#" & Format(Me![ScheduleDate], "mm/dd/yy") & "#));"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
If IsLoaded("frmCandidate") Then
Call RefDates
End If
ElseIf CheckCandidate = 0 Then
strSQL = "DELETE tblCandidateAvailability.CandidateID, tblCandidateAvailability.AvailableDate " _
& "FROM tblCandidateAvailability " _
& "WHERE (((tblCandidateAvailability.CandidateID)=" & Me![CandidateID] & ") AND ((tblCandidateAvailability.AvailableDate)=#" & Format(Me![ScheduleDate], "mm/dd/yy") & "#));"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
If IsLoaded("frmCandidate") Then
Call RefDates
End If
End If
If CheckBooking = 1 Then
StrSQL3 = "UPDATE tblBookingDetail SET tblBookingDetail.CandidateID = Null" _
& " WHERE (((tblBookingDetail.ScheduleDetailsID)=" & [ScheduleDetailsID] & ") AND " _
& "((tblBookingDetail.CandidateID)=" & Me![CandidateID] & "));"
DoCmd.RunSQL StrSQL3
' Cancel = True
If IsLoaded("frmCandidate") Then
End If
Cancel = True
[Forms]![frmClient]![sbfClient]![sbfClientBooking].Visible = True
[Forms]![frmClient]![sbfClient]![lblBooking].Visible = False
ScheduleCheck = Me![ScheduleID]
End If
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
ElseIf Response = 0 Then
Cancel = True
End If
Exit Sub
MsgBox "Error #: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End Sub
The code in BOLD is the code that refuses to requery. sbfClientBookingConfirmed is the subform, (which is set to datasheet view if it matters), where this delete event occurs. Basically the code runs when you delete a record on this form. Instead of running the normal delete event, it pops up another form asking whether the record should be deleted or the Candidate (in this case) just being removed from the booking, therefore leaving the record intact. (The code built in SQL removes the candidateID from the record). After this it should requery the form so that the record disappears off the sbfClientBookingConfirmed subform and appears then on the sbfClientBooking subform.
Both these requeries do not work and the records stay as they are. However the requery (which occurs on another form if open), above in RED works fine.
Also if I move off the main record though on the parent form (via a combo box) and then return back to my record the subforms now display the correct data.
I am baffled as to why this is so and I am sure I have overlooked something blindingly obvious.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have now determined that if I stick a command button on the top parent form (frmClient) with :
then it works fine. But obviously I don't want to be clicking a button.
I don't understand why it won't query at all

Perhaps a distraction of some kind would be more helpful.
If the imagery is giving you a release of some kind and letting you be less-upset sooner, then go nuts and let your imagination run wild.
Basically the shortest path to being calm and collected is the one you wanna pick.
That said, it's pretty natural to have a short fuse during pregnancy. Unless you're some kind of zen master, you're going to feel like momzilla rather often, and probably the occasional imbecile is going to annoy you quite a bit more than usual.

First time responding to a post on here, as I am new to this as well, but definitely not new to the relationship "game". Listen to the others on here. Your BF may be truly poly, but he's definitely not treating you with respect. The one thing I've come to realize is that the incredible beauty of being truly poly is that you have to communicate - frequently, thoroughly, and with love and open-minded ness. My BF is not new to this as his wife has been open and dating for a while, but I am his first GF and I am learning so much about how this should be done. My husband is not poly and it's been extremely difficult for him to make the transition from monogamous to me being poly amorous, but I am so, so careful to treat him with respect, love, and not force anything on him that he's not ready for.
Your BF is not giving you the same consideration, and you deserve it. It seems like he's forcing the idea of taking on another girlfriend on you, and adopting a "like it or leave it" attitude. Meanwhile, he's enjoying your hospitality and your paycheck. He's got it all! Why should he leave what is, to him, an ideal situation?
Honey, it doesn't matter if he's poly or mono - he's disrespecting you and hurting you. Turning the tables and blaming it on you (calling you "territorial", for example, when you object to him dating a roommate!) is a manipulation tactic. It is not your fault that you do not want to share him. It is his fault for forcing the idea on you and then making you feel guilty for not agreeing to it. You should probably take a break from this, remove yourself from this situation to get a clear head, and then ask yourself if this is how you wish to be treated by someone you love.
Btw, just because someone dates multiple people does not make him poly amorous. Being poly is the capacity to love more than one, not just want to date or f*** more than one. Is he truly poly? Or does he "want his Kate and Edith,too"? Either way, it sounds as if he's found a way to manipulate you into getting what he wants, and your needs are not being met. People who truly love each other treat each other with respect. Good luck!

Yeah. Fuck that shit.

Hey everyone, an update!
First of all thank you for the replies. However this went in the complete OPPOSITE direction of where I wanted it to.
I think because of the way I wrote and worded my topic, people started assuming my SO/lover/boyfriend is a bad individual who is mooching off of me.
This is NOT what I wanted, at all. I was in no way trying to get this message across.
If anything he typically puts others before himself. He also is certainly NOT mooching me for my money. When I said I spent 22k since he has been here, it was just me venting over how much I have lost since he has been here. I am not regretful for it. He already spent a ton of money and sold a lot of his valuables to come here, so that makes up for it in more ways than one. Having him here was always just enough for me. I did not like spending that much money, but I was ok with it as long as he loved me and was here.
Also, you guys also seem to get the misrepresentation that he just wants his cake and pie too, when this is also not the case. He loves both me and her equally, and yes he is poly. When reading similar stories on here on people that are poly, he certainly fits the bill: he is a person that has the capability to love multiple people. I am sure if he could he would want more than just me and her, but for him me and her is enough.
I am the one with the problem - I am mono at heart and mind, and I cannot change that part of me. I have tried accepting it. Thinking about it, even going as far as to join this forum for advice. But I did not want a bash fest on him or myself. I think the way I worded my initial topic had everyone confused that he was this bad person. Which I guess since the way I vented, it came across that way - and that is my fault. For this I apologize.
He is a great man. Stubborn at times but a great person. He does not want to hurt me, or her, but he also did not want to choose between me and her. He asked me to keep quiet about it because he felt it was something all 3 of us needed to discuss. It has just been hard holding it all in, which is why it resulted in the rant on here.
Also, yes he has been looking for jobs. It was my FEARS that made me doubt he wasn't. He was using his personal laptop to find jobs. Now he uses mine since his laptop is pretty much FUBAR'd. There were days he went out to walk around and look for jobs even if it was hot as heck or cold outside, and he would try to find a job to no avail. He also does not have a car to get around. He sold that awhile ago to help pay off bills him and his best friend had.
The whole reason I posted this is I wanted advice - from perhaps other people who were in mono and poly relationships. He is a good person. I just constantly felt the guilt of me being the mono in the relationship and him being poly. The other girl is mono for the most part, but she was willing to accept a poly relationship because she knows me (we are good friends). She would not have been okay with it otherwise.
However, I WAS finally able to talk to both him and her about it, where I just vented everything of how I felt and spoke with them, and they also vented to me their fears, feelings about the situation, etc. In the end he decided he just wants to be with me. Though I am still not certain if I am happy with his decision. :I I can see the hurt in his eyes that he still wishes he could have her in his life as more than just a friend, and this kills me inside. I do not want him restricting himself to keep me around because he loves me so much and doesn't want to lose me.
I should be happy, right...? But in the end it is just killing me inside, because now I feel the guilt because he felt he had to make a decision. I hate it.... D: I sometimes wish I could just be poly so I could accept it. I am just a different type of person - if I am dating someone, I want them to myself and myself only. And if I start to fall in love with someone else, usually I fall OUT of love with the person I am dating at the time. It is just how I am and am wired, I guess... and sometimes I wish I could be wired differently so I can make all of them happy. But it also kills me inside if he would be with me and her, it would be eating away at me.
While yes, he did chose me, I still feel like he only did it because he wanted to keep me around and not lose me. He wants to make all of us happy but sacrifices someone else he loves to appeal to that, as well as not being able to be with both people he loves. D:
There are two aspects of mono and poly that interplay in relationships.
In your case, you're mono and you prefer to date mono. Your boyfriend is poly. That's an incompatibility.
Your boyfriend can't change who he is inside. His desire to date other people will never go away, even if right now he's decided not to date that one particular girl. By allowing this arrangement to continue, you're merely delaying the inevitable. This issue will come up again, be it in a month, a year, 5, 10, 20 years. Personally, I'm not a fan of burying problems under the rug and pretending everything is hunky-dorey. That's a recipe for capital-D Disaster.
As I am sure any cat owner will be able to tell you,
someone else putting you in a box is entirely different
from getting into a box yourself. bisexualbaker
You guys broke up. But continued as roomies who share sex. You wanted to end that too.
Now he wants to be with just you and get back together. You do not like it or want it. This still does not solve you just really wanting to be single.
So... What would you like at this point in time?

In Picking Winners, Mark Goldberg makes the case that governments shouldn't intervene in picking standards for technologies. He cites beta vs VHS, Windows vs Linux, IM services and social networks, as some of his examples. In large part I agree with him, but let's dissect each of these in a little more detail, because they are each different in important ways.
In the case of beta vs VHS, market conditions decided the winner. Sony tried to monopolize the market for home recordings by creating a higher quality recording solution, and consumers flocked to the variety of video devices, choice of manufacturer, longer recording times, and lower prices of Matsushita's competing VHS standard. Matsushita was smart and played the horizontal licensing game to Sony's vertically integrated proprietary stack, niching Sony's beta as a professional recording solution only. Consumer choice was well served here.
In Windows vs. Linux, competition is made possible because the underlying technology stack — the PC — is a commodity built from a public specification. Moreover, the application specification is also publicly available, allowing anyone to build applications for these platforms. The historic anti-trust decision which required manufacturers to not build the Windows royalty into the PC if the customer didn't want Windows, paved the way for competition to emerge on an equal footing. Consumer choice is also well served here.
The world of IM services is sadly not one that we should hold up as an example. At the moment we have five mostly closed and mostly not interoperable platforms. Granted, there has been some movement as Yahoo and Microsoft have agreed to interoperate, but it still boils down to consumers choosing to either install all the IM clients, or deciding which of their friends and associates to not communicate with using IM. Consumer choice is poorly served.
Social networks are similar phenomena to IM networks. Despite the emergence of standards like FOAF, it is not possible at this time to easily move from one social network to another. With the notable exception of Facebook, it's also not possible to easily build applications for the network.
So what does this have to do with wireless networks? We can generally say that in technology products built from components where some degree of horizontal commoditization has occurred, whether through market forces or by fiat, there exist opportunities for businesses to prosper serving segments and niches of the market. In technology products that don't have that horizontal commoditization, these opportunities don't exist. The Canadian wireless network is, today, three vertically integrated networks built on two incompatible technologies. Moreover, a unified standard is unlikely to emerge because the three players in that space like the lock-in provided by the incompatible technologies. It makes it incredibly difficult for applications providers to do business here, and limits the choices the consumer has rather dramatically.
Let's take another example: cameras. I own Nikon gear, and have done so for nearly 25 years. It's the product of a decision my wife made in 1984 (buying a Nikon film camera), and an accumulation of expensive accessories (mostly lenses) that are incompatible with any other camera manufacturers products. When we bought the D50 last summer, no other manufacturer was really a consideration. We're locked in. No choice here.
How about a more universal example: power. At the turn of the 19th century, Edison lost the fight with Tesla over direct current versus alternating, but then the governments of the world implemented competing national standards everywhere. What would the world be like if there was a single unified power standard (let's say 220V AC), and one plug standard? Electronics products wouldn't all have converting power supplies, which convert the power from one standard to another at the edge of the grid, and the business of providing those endless cases of adaptors for travellers would cease to exist. We would be able to move anywhere in the world without having to buy new appliances at the destination. And consumers would be served with lower cost products that didn't require converting power supplies and and the confusion of multiple plug ends.
Power is a commodity, and it's a mostly open commodity due to the ubiquity of conversion technologies.
The wireless infrastructure is also a commodity. The Europeans got it right when they recognized this and mandated GSM over CDMA. One or the other didn't really matter, by the way. There are technical differences between GSM and CDMA, but at the end of the day nobody except industry people and operators care. What was important was standardization because it allows the ecosystem around the rest of the technology stack to flourish. By choosing not to choose, however, regulators have allowed an artificial lock-in to occur built around networking technologies. The absurdity of the latest round of telephones with CDMA built in for North America, and GSM for the rest of the world illustrates this problem very neatly. Two standards, two sets of royalties, and lord knows how many radios results in a limited choice of handsets, and more expense for the consumer. It's as if we allowed right-hand and left-hand drive cars in North America, built separate highways for each and invited the road operators and auto manufacturers to compete. Then, because some people's houses and businesses are on one road/auto standard and others on another, the industry decided to build cars with two steering wheels that can drive on either road standard.
Consumers are best served when commodities are delivered in standard ways. And because monopolies tend to act in the best interests of shareholders rather than consumers I would argue, in disagreement with my friend Mark, that when the market reaches a point where competition is not being served, standards should be dictated.

It is estimated that fractures resulting from osteoporosis or low bone mass cost our health care system more than $19 billion each year. Experts predict that cost will rise to $25.3 billion by 2025. Early diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis alone has been demonstrated to dramatically reduce fracture rates and generate substantial savings overall. In addition, osteogenesis imperfecta is characterized by fragile bones and frequent fractures. It is estimated to afflict an estimated 40,000 people. Paget's disease of the bone, a disorder that results in enlarged and deformed bones in one or more parts of the body, afflicts an estimated 700,000 Americans over the age of 60.
The Bone Health Promotion and Research Act would provide for greater comprehensive osteoporosis and related bone disease control and prevention programs along with national educational outreach activities. This act would create a National Bone Health Program to augment education and outreach initiatives through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and provide state grants for comprehensive osteoporosis and related bone disease surveillance, control, and prevention programs and activities. This bill would also expand and intensify research activities of the National Institutes of Health on osteoporosis and related bone diseases. Summary of the Bone Health Promotion and Research Act.
The Bone Coalition is currently working to reintroduce this bill in the current session of Congress.

From 1 March 2015, it will become possible to validate European patents in Morocco.
Until now, patent protection in Morocco could only be obtained as a national patent filed directly or by national phase entry from a PCT application. From March, applicants wishing to file in Morocco will be able to do so via a European patent application.
This development is notable in that it will, for the first time, enable applicants to use the European patent system in order to secure patent protection in a non European country. With the addition of Morocco as a so-called 'validation state', in total 41 countries will be within the reach of applicants for a European patent (including the current 38 contracting member states and 2 non contracting extension states).
In practice, the procedure before the European Patent Office (EPO) for validating in Morocco will be similar to that which applies for extension states (currently Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro). European patent applications will automatically be deemed to include a request for validation in Morocco, the request being deemed withdrawn only if the applicant does not pay the requisite official fee to the EPO in time. The time limit to pay the official fee will be the same as that for payment of the designation fee and extension fees, i.e. within six months from the publication date of the European search report or, where applicable, within the period for performing the acts required for ex-PCT entry into the European phase. The same two-month grace period, for late payment with a 50 per cent surcharge, will apply. The main difference is that the official fee, at EUR 240, will be higher than the corresponding fee payable for an extension state (EUR 102).
Once the European patent has been granted, and subject to completion of local validation requirements (e.g. filing a translation of the granted claims into the French or Arabic language, and paying a local fee, at the Moroccan IP Office – to be confirmed), the European patent will have the same legal effects in Morocco as a Moroccan national patent.
The new provisions apply only to European applications (filed directly or as a European phase entry from a PCT application) having a filing date on or after 1 March 2015.
Looking ahead, agreements to allow the validation of European patents in two further countries – Tunisia and Moldova – are expected to come into effect in the near future.

Is my graphics card going bad?
Hi all, I have a Windows 7 Pro HP machine. And I want to know if my graphics card is going bad. I've only had the laptop for a few years and I don't know what's wrong with it. Every time I hover over certain things the alternative text is black. Also it is on some webpages. Here's some screen shots.

Hello there.
Have you updated the graphics card driver recently? i really don't think it's the card going bad, when a card goes bad, you'll see artifacts on the screen, dots, lines (horizontal and vertical) that appear randomly.. bad colors and stuff.. try to go back to Windows 7 default theme and see if this happens again.. and check if you have the latest drivers for your Laptop.
EDIT: the google black bar is a test from Google, it also happens on youtube, i guess they're trying out some black theme for their websites. That was what i read somewhere, i can't remember right now. but the bar is not part of your problem... so i'd discard that

Yeah I tried updating the driver and I already have the current driver. I tried going back to the
Windows 7 theme and it still did the same thing. As long as I know my graphics card isn't going bad then i'm fine. I'd like to know what this is though.

You could perform an SFC to check if all windows' files are OK. here's a more detailed guide:
