Soil Triaxial Shear Test
A triaxial shear test is a method to measure the Engineering properties of many deformable solids, soil, sand, clay.
Basic Concept
The principle behind a triaxial shear test is that the stress applied in the vertical direction can be different than the stress applied in the horizontal directions. This produces a non-hydrostatic stress state, which contains shear stress. The triaxial testing apparatus is designed to measure that limit. The stress on the platens is increased until the material in the cylinder fails and forms sliding regions within itself, known as shear bands. A motion where a material is deformed under shear stress is known as
Triaxial test can be used for obtaining Angle of repose
Effective stress
Pore water pressure
Shear strength
Overburden pressure
Soil classification
Shear wave
Lateral earth pressure.
Types of Triaxial Tests
CD - Consolidated Drained Test
CU-BAR - Consolidated Undrained Test with pore water pressure measurement
UU - Unconsolidated Undrained test
In CD Test :
(Consolidated Drained Test), we measure the change in volume of sample at the each stage of shearing.
In CU -Bar Test :
(consolidated Undrained test), we measure the pore water pressure of sample at the each stage of shearing.
In UU Test :
(Unconsolidated Undrained test), we measure only load and deformation of sample at the each stage of shearing.
In case of consolidated test, the test is then carried out by a first stage of applying confining pressure in the pressure chamber and allowing drainage of the sample. This stage corresponds to the consolidation of the sample. The deviatoric load is then applied through the vertical axis. The deviatoric stress is indeed the difference between the vertical stress and the confining stress. During the deviatoric compression, the drainage valves can be open (CD) or closed (CU & UU).
Triaxial test data, in general, include evolution of axial and volumetric strain, deviatoric and isotropic stress, and pore pressure evolution. From the triaxial test results, it is possible to deduce the shear strength parameters, namely friction angle, cohesion, dilatancy angle and the other dependent parameters.
Test Standards
ASTM D4767 - 04 Standard Test Method for Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Compression Test for Cohesive Soils
ASTM D2850 - 03a(2007) Standard Test Method for Unconsolidated-Undrained Triaxial Compression Test on Cohesive Soils
Triaxial test equipment consists of following Assemblies :
Vaccum Assembly
Vaccum pump
Deairing chamber
Pressure Assembly
Pressure line
Confining pressure
Back pressure
Loading Unit
A thirty different speed motorized load frame with capacity 50 kn.
Software Programming
A complete source of calculations of UU, CD, CU Bar triaxial test. Has option for manual as well as automatic recording of data.
Consolidation curves and evaluates t100 and calculates strain rates depending upon the drainage condition. Stress strain curves after every curves.Plots pore water pressure and volumetric strain vs. effective stress ratio vs. axial strain. p-q plot, Mohr columb graph.

James Nixon at thinq.com: "NATO leaders have been warned that Wikileaks-loving 'hacktivist' collective Anonymous could pose a threat to member states' security, following recent attacks on the US Chamber of Commerce and defence contractor HBGary - and promise to 'persecute' its members." Here's a draft report by General Rapporteur Lord Jopling which claims Anonymous "is becoming more and more sophisticated", and "could potentially hack into sensitive government, military, and corporate files".
- Pentagon: Hacking can count as an act of war
- Pentagon has list of "cyber-weapons" for use in computer warfare ...
- Court forces Twitter to expose anonymous government critic - Boing ...
- Two veteran Anonymous members say group is responsible for Sony ...
- Anonymous dumps huge torrent of Chamber of Commerce docs

Anon is not a good thing. Its essentially putting potent cyberweapons at the hands of a few. Nothing good about distributed power at the hands of a few. A recent example of anon power abuse was their ddos on a relatively benign drug enthusiast community the DMT Nexus. Their reasoning behind the attack was that members of the site obfuscated their online identity for quite obvious legal reasons. Apparently that's either a threat to anon or whatever they stand for, but to me it just looks like someone who makes decisions at anon had personal issues with admins/mods at the site. They even posted extensive personal details about mods/admins on the web publicly. Personal info and family info, not good at all.
But the powers at be are right to fear it for the wrong reasons. They fear any substantial element of power not in their control, and if used properly or inproperly anon could do some serious damage.
Anonymous says:
Funny how people think 'Anon' is a definable entity. Isn't it just the entirety of the part of humanity that is pissed off?
It is all of us and everybody… but only sometimes…
bwcbwc says:
Hmm, well they're right about anonymous being a threat to their security. Look at how Sony's PSN was completely hacked under the guise of a DDoS attack by anonymous. Not saying anonymous did the PSN hack, but even if they didn't, they can be used by other groups as a front for their own ends.
On the other hand, how can the security of a democratic society be threatened by the free flow of information? To have proper representation, the people must be able to make informed decisions about their votes. The fact that the US government is now more about restricting information to its own citizens than disseminating information is a sea-change.

Wow. I can't imagine a better recruiting campaign for Wikileaks. "NATO claims WIkileaks is badass."

As you clearly misunderstand, I (who didn't bother to log in) was also referring to anonymous as the messengers. I was asserting that not only are they being attacked for their leaks but are also being presented as more of a danger than the hidden corruption they are exposing. Though really it is my fault, because I attempted to employ sarcasm over the internet, so my apologies.

HBGary, breaking down barriers by de-fencing the world…
Anonymous says:
Heh, well I'm glad they are a threat to security. If a government ever becomes to corrupt for it's own good and stops focusing on what the PEOPLE, the CITIZENS need then I hope someone or a group will stop them. Anonymous for the most part,as of now, has no interest in greed.
The PSN hack they hacked into the credit card database, not for money, but to distrust Sony. And they succeeded. Any Credit Card theft has been proven false. They have no interest in material things. it's a shame that it hurt the consumer though and the developer though, that I disagree with them. What most people don't know is that the reason was not just because they removed the 'Other OS' feature, there were many reasons.
I hope the group continues as long as their motivation stays selfless. Stay strong Anonymous.

pmocek says:
Paragraph 14 of the draft report falsely states that WikiLeaks published 250K cables last November, and states unproven accusations about Bradley manning as fact (emphasis added):
In November 2010, WikiLeaks published about 250,000 confidential US diplomatic cables, which provided US diplomats' candid assessments of terrorist threats and the behaviour of world leaders.[10] Currently, the US authorities suspect that the material was leaked by Private Bradley Manning stationed in the Persian Gulf, who had downloaded the information from a computer in Kuwait. He then passed these files on to the "whistleblower†organization, which made them public.
[10] Leaked Cables Offer Raw Look at U.S. Diplomacy. By Scott Shane and Andrew W.Lehren. The New York Times. 28 November 2010.
Paragraph 21 states that General Rapporteur Lord Jopling (UK), believes that states and corporations have the same right to privacy that individuals do:
That said, the Rapporteur believes that even if one is in favour of transparency, military and intelligence operations simply cannot be planned and consulted with the public. Transparency cannot exist without control. The government, and especially its security agencies, must have the right to limit access to information in order to govern and to protect. This is based on the premise that states and corporations have the right to privacy as much as individuals do and that secrecy is required for efficient management of the state institutions and organizations. In addition, transparency can be misused on several levels – by providing unprofessional or poor-quality interpretation of information or documents, by conducting superficial or biased analysis, by lack of experience on the topic or by pursuing a political agenda. Thus, not everything carried out under the "transparency label†is necessarily good for the government and its people. Moreover, the very ideal of transparency can also force public figures to become more secretive.
Goblin says:
You completely misread the quote you posted (emphasis mine).
the US authorities suspect that the material was leaked by Private Bradley Manning stationed in the Persian Gulf, who had downloaded the information from a computer in Kuwait
Far as my knowledge of the english language goes "suspect" clearly denotes to the reader that "unproven accusations" are indeed what have been leveled aginst PFC Manning. I don't see any indication in what you posted where Jopling is claiming they are "fact."
You are the one who is attempting to factually mis-inform us here; and, thats not the worst of it, you obviously read the paragraph and somehow managed to ignore the word "suspect."
pmocek says:
Please re-read that paragraph. They wrote that Manning is suspected of leaking, that he did download information, and that he did pass the files on.
emmdeeaych says:
Where has he said he passed them along. Far as i know that's an allegation as well. Citation? happy to be wrong.
pmocek says:
@13 I linked to the report, referred to a specific paragraph, and quoted it.
teapot says:
hatter: pmocek's point is that it is an allegation, yet the report's wording implies that it is fact.
(You both agree)
Goblin says:
Check your grammer.
You are incorrectly reading the subordinate clause of the sentence, "who had downloaded the information from a computer in Kuwait". This clause modifies both material and PVT Manning it is not the main idea. If you read the main part of the sentence you will discover that PVT Manning is simply suspected, and we can infer that this subordinate clause is part of that accusation entailed by the word suspect.
pmocek says:
It says, "Currently, the US authorities suspect that the material was leaked by Private Bradley Manning stationed in the Persian Gulf, who had downloaded the information from a computer in Kuwait. He then passed these files on to the `whistleblower' organization, which made them public."
I read that as, "Authorities suspect that Manning, stationed in the Gulf, leaked the material. Manning had downloaded the information. Manning passed the files on." but not as "Authorities suspect that Manning, stationed in the Gulf, leaked the material. Authorities suspect that Manning downloaded the information. Authorities suspect that Manning passed the files on."
Goblin says:
Your understanding of the paragraph logically ignores the word "suspect". If that words was not used at all you would have a point. However, we cannot logically conclude that the author was stating that PVT Manning actually "did it" without ignoring the word suspect. Its only logical to conclude that the words you take issue with are a simple re-statement of the charges against Manning.
You may not realize it but you are attempting a classic politician's hairsplit. You are selectively ignoring the main idea of the paragraph (That he is simply a suspect) while you push your own counter-narrative, which you have found support for by ignoring that word "suspect" and used the rest of the words behind it. And this selective ignorance is designed so you will emotionally engage people to your side. This is what you want NATO to say, even if that's not what was said.
I still think you could use a few grammar lessons. If only so you could learn how imperfect a system it is.
Goblin says:

Moreover, the very ideal of transparency can also force public figures to become more secretive
Wether you agree or diagree with this quote is immaterial.
What's important is that we have a healthly debate over this ideal of pragmatic and functional transparancy. I would encourage all to actually take the time and read this. No TLDR excuses followed by uninformed yea or nay just based on the headline and blurb.

It's not hard at all to read between the lines as far as the political motivations involved here when two of references are the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and HBGary. The former is a proven and documented mouthpiece for the neoconservative agenda and the latter is a very, very dubious IT security contractor that failed miserably in multiple aspects of its own internal IT security.

You've got to be kidding. You're going to infiltrate a group that doesn't exist? A collective that really can't even decide on anything?

I find it odd they put the Chamber of Commerce release ahead of the HBGary hack, as the CoC release was a re-packaged web scrape and by no definition of the word a hack.

MTV's Skins Will Not Be Canceled Despite Loss In Advertisers
Posted on Thu Jan 27, 2011 07:55 AM PDT
The new series Skins has ruffled feathers with both viewers and advertisers, but despite the controversy over its racy content, the network is keeping the show on the air.
MTV has released the following statement:
- "Skins has earned the loyalty of fans across the globe for its thoughtful and honest portrayal of teen life today. An internationally acclaimed scripted drama, the show has been honored with a long list of prestigious awards. MTV stands by the US adaptation of Skins and the vision of its creator Bryan Elsley.â€
The following advertisers have already pulled out: Foot Locker, L'Oreal, Shick, Subway, Wrigley, Taco Bell, General Motors and H&R Block.
Skins could reportedly end up costing MTV close to $2 million per episode without big-time sponsors. The premiere episode drew in 3.3 million viewers, while the second episode saw the numbers drop down to 1.6 million.
Do you think the series will last for another season?

Sen. Harry Reid Gives Hope to the Long-Term Unemployed
Senators wrangling votes for bipartisan unemployment insurance bill.
For the 1.3 million Americans who lost long-term unemployment benefits in December, there may be hope.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told The Associated Press he will bring legislation to extend long-term jobless benefits to the floor on Monday, the first day the Senate returns to work in the new year. The inaugural vote may signal the Democrats' 2014 election strategy: to reduce economic disparity between the wealthy and poor.
Reid will bring a bipartisan compromise bill drafted by Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., to the floor. In an unusual pairing, Reed and Heller are working together on a bill that could help both of their states, which are tied for the highest unemployment rate in the country at 9 percent.
[READ: Amid Rebounding Labor Market, Long Term Unemployment Still Dire]
Obstacles remain, however. Heller and Reed must rally enough support for their bill to overcome a 60-vote threshold in the Senate.
According to an aide for Rhode Island's Reed, all 55 Democrats and Heller are expected to vote for the bill, leaving the bill's sponsors scrambling for four last votes before Monday.
Reed and Heller are talking with moderate Republicans in states with high unemployment rates, including Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker of Tennessee, Rob Portman of Ohio, Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois. They are also leaning on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who have both earned a reputation of crossing the political aisle on key votes in the past.
Heller's and Reed's legislation would extend unemployment insurance for three months and cost roughly $6.4 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The short-term extension is intended to give Congress a chance to negotiate a longer-term compromise that both parties can agree upon. Republicans have scoffed at the cost of extending the benefits for an entire year, which is estimated to be more than $25 billion.
[ALSO:In Jobs Recovery, Shrunken Labor Force Can Only Rebound So Much]
While the Senate floor remains the scene of the immediate battle, the major roadblock remains whether the House of Representatives will take up the unemployment benefits bill this winter that does not include offsetting the cost.
House Speaker John Boehner has signaled a willingness to restore the unemployment benefits, but not without a trade off.
If [the president] has a plan for extending unemployment benefits I'd truly entertain taking a look at it," Boehner said during a December press conference. "But I'd argue that the president's real focus ought to be creating a better environment for our economy and creating more jobs for the American people. That's where the focus is — not more government programs."
Reed's office says it views the long-term unemployment crisis as an emergency that requires immediate action, not a drawn-out congressional debate on federal spending.
[OPINION:New Budget Deal Does Nothing for Long-Term Unemployed]
Long-term unemployment remains a national epidemic with nearly every type of worker affected by the slow economic recovery. More than 4 million Americans report that they have been unemployed for at least 27 weeks, the highest level since World War II. While 1.3 million ran out of jobless benefits on Dec. 28, the number of those affected will continue to increase without congressional action.
"I don't predict anything in the House," Senate Majority Leader Reid told The Associated Press. He says the House remains a "black hole of legislation."

The Phenix City Council has appointed Kelvin A. Redd to the Phenix City School Board, quickly filling a vacancy left when board member Eddie Lowe took the reins as mayor this week. The vote, made Tuesday at councils first regularly scheduled meeting, was unanimous.
Redd, 45, is the director of the Center for Servant Leadership at the Pastoral Institute in Columbus and previously served on Phenix Citys planning commission. A Central High graduate, Redd has strong ties to school district. Both of his parents worked in the district, and he has a daughter at Central.
Hes an asset to the community, said Phenix City Councilman Arthur L. Day Jr. Hes a nice young man.
Phenix City Schools Superintendent Larry E. DiChiara also welcomed Redds appointment.
He loves Phenix City Schools and will be a great ambassador for our schools, teachers and children, DiChiara said. His experience with servant leadership fits perfectly within our school districts emphasis on service to others.
Council also reappointed City Manager Wallace B. Hunter, City Attorney Jimmy Graham and City Clerk Charlotte Sierra, retaining a trio that worked under the previous administration. The reappointments dispelled speculation that the all-new council might consider parting ways with Hunter and others who worked alongside the recently ousted council.
Theres a lot of experience there, Day said. They are in the know, and I think theyll be a tremendous help to the Phenix City Council.
Lowe said its important for the new council to engage the city government. Lets get to know people to see where we are and what we all bring to the table, he said. You dont go in making those changes without knowing what the worth is of people. If things are not getting done, you make changes.
In other action, council decided to move one of its regular meetings from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to allow citizens a better opportunity to attend. At an organizational meeting Monday, councilmembers tentatively agreed to hold the second meeting of each month at 5 p.m., saying 6 p.m. might be too late for city employees.
That changed at Tuesdays meeting, but Lowe noted that the new schedule is not written in stone.
This gives them a chance to come to meetings and to see how city government functions, said Day, who had promised later meetings during his campaign.
Councils next regular meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. EST on Nov. 20.

Game Thread: Wang's redemptionBy
Sure, it's only Spring Training, but the Yanks could really use a good outing from their anointed ace Chien-Ming Wang today. Wang is making his third start of the spring today, and his last outing was alarming. He lasted less than one inning and gave up a whole lotta runs and hits.
Today, Wang faces a Blue Jays lineup consisting of guys who will be on the team come Opening Day. He is slated for around 50 pitches, and it would be great if he could last four innings. Following Wang will be Darrell Rasner, Kyle Farnsworth, Heath Phillips, Jonathan Albaladejo and Ross Ohlendorf. The game is on YES and MLB.tv at 1:15 p.m. and the slow Spring Training version of Gameday will be available here.
The lineup:
Cabrera CF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Giambi DH
Cano 2B
Duncan 1B
Lane LF
Molina C
In other Yankee news, five players were reassigned to Minor League camps. Juan Miranda landed in AAA, and Austin Jackson, Collin Curtis, Jose Tabata and P.J. Pilittere were sent down as well. No big surprise there.
27 Comments»
why are we scouting Blanton???
We should always be scouting everybody!
What's the difference in getting assigned to AAA and being sent to the Minor League complex? Does Miranda go to a different location now?
SF Chronicle says:
A Yankees scout was at Sunday's game tracking Joe Blanton, a subject of trade rumors. "Until any trade happens, I can't worry about it," Blanton said. …
Yes, Miranda goes to the Minor League complex as does everyone else "reassigned."
Easy, guy. I guess it's possible that the Yankees scout is prepping for the June series against Oakland. It's also possilbe that the Yanks have some interest in Blanton or otherwise would like to benefit from the Oakland firesale. No one's getting crazy; it's just an interesting fact. Take it for what it's worth, I guess.
Oakland's having a fire sale?
Its just scouting. Its also possible they could trade him to the AL east. Then that scoouting is all the more valuable. Scenarios like this are the exact reason you have scouts.
Unrelated, but can someone explain to me why IPK isn't getting more respect. Since the guy has come to the majors, whether it be in the regular season or spring training he has done nothing but get people out.
Ike has the unfortunate position of being the understated pitcher of the "Big Three." Both Joba and Phranchise are exciting. Ike is like a young Moose…just goes to work and gets it done.
Rasner looks good.
Are we talking about this or not?
The crowd is booing the ball boy. Nice.
8 ground balls in 13 batters faced by Wang. Pretty damn good.
Very happy with Rasner. Nice job.
I think IPK likes the postion he is in. Just refer to yesterdays thread about Joba getting a little distracted from all the media. Even Hughes likes JOba taking the heat.
Who cares who gets the press. Right now, the Yanks (at least for them) are flying a little under the radar with the CW being that they won't have enough pitching to get it done this year.
No complaints about being in that position. Let all of the media fawn over to BoSox signing Colon instead.
Good to hear that Rasner pitched well. If he's right, he's better than Karstens.
Rasner was decent today, although I still think that spot should go to Scott Patterson, hands down. Maybe two different roster spots, though, with Patterson being more of a short guy, Rasner being a long guy.
Oh, I'm all for Patterson. I'm pro-Rasner as long reliever/spot starter.
I was very impressed with Wang today. His change-up looked great, better than I've ever seen it. It was low in the strike zone and had the same movement as his sinker–a consistent change like that would be a serious pitch for Wang.
I like the belt high four seamers that he's been throwing, too. That's a good sign. Between a consistent change and an elevated four seamers Wang will 1.) keep hitters more honest(especially the lefties) and 2.) raise his K total significantly again, this season.

Correct vs. Incorrect Reverse Usage
Please Note: When printing a logo in a standard reverse you must use the reverse logo. Simply reversing the positive image will result in an incorrect usage (see example at above right). Please contact the Office of Publications at ext. 5381 for a custom electronic file, or download from How to Obtain Visual Identity Marks.
Hot Stamping and Embossing
Designs that incorporate hot stamping or embossing of any Messiah College's visual identity marks should be produced in conjunction with the Office of Publications. Hot stamping and embossing options are generally limited to navy blue, black, silver or a blind emboss.

Recent Rye Reviews
I truly enjoyed my vacation at this adorable beach rental. Everything about is picture perfect, i.e., so clean, well-maintained, luxury, but they still maintained the beachy feel throughout. The location is ideal...you can see the ocean from the windows and decks, a 2 second walk and your beach front and there's a store within walking distance. Krista, the owner is so wonderful to work and made this such a smooth process. My vacation was 5 star and I've already booked my week for next year. :)
Charming, clean, well maintained, and steps away from the ocean! Accurately described in the listing. I grew up in Rye Beach, and we had such a wonderful time as a family getting together for the weekend at this house!
I rented this cape for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 winter seasons. The home is on a quite street, walking distance from the beach. My children felt at home and safe there. The kitchen is sunny and open. The house is fully furnished and very well-maintained. The owners keep it very clean as well. In the winter the beach area is pretty well deserted so traffic is not an issue. I enjoyed the close proximity to Portsmouth and Newington. This home was a very pleasant way-station for my family as we searched for a new permanent home.

The images featured are great examples of appropriate clothing for a casual work environment. A casual dress code means that employees are permitted to dress in comfortable, informal clothing. Although the employees' comfort is a priority, certain standards are required - clothing must be appropriate and still professional.
For example, clothing that you would wear exercising, lounging at home, going to the beach, or going to a dance club isn't suitable for the workplace. While keeping these standards in mind, employees can still look well-groomed and feel comfortable when following a casual dress code.

that term is bounced around all the time, but i don't exactly know how it's done. anyone care to explain?
that term is bounced around all the time, but i don't exactly know how it's done. anyone care to explain?
Coaches, federation officials, parents, other skaters, etc. informally lobbying the judges and/or officials to get them to treat a skater more favorably. Or judges making deals with each other to support some skaters but not others.
You should never write words with numbers. Unless you're seven. Or your name is Prince. - "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes"
And it's frequently used when a poster's favorite skater didn't win. Clearly, politicking was the reason if a different skater was scored higher.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
is it a matter of saying that your team, which previously could barely crack the top ten, is now is the top tier, which means that the judges start to see them as a top team, which means that they start to give them top tier marks?
Here's a good explanation of a more subtle, not necessarily dishonest, way it can happen internationally.
Politiking can take many forms. The examples given above are good. Using current skaters in instructional videos as examples of good or bad choreography or elements is politiking IMO.
Part of politiking could also be advocating for certain rule changes that affect everyone on paper but will more likely advance one group of skaters over another. For example, eliminating CDs and encouraging uplifting FDs is helpful to the American ice dancers, but penalizing wrong edge takeoffs and cheated jumps is hurtful to the American ladies.
This should explain everything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAaWvVFERVA Now if only an ice-dance team could weave that into a program!
Didn't Lori say something about how she talks to judges about how amazing Patrick's programs are?
Another example: Frank Caroll saying couple years ago-"Mirai is scary good", and more recently- saying Liza Tuktamysheva skates at a novice or junior level. Both statements help his skater. That's politicking.
^I'm fairly sure the majority of "politicking" takes place "backstage".
Politicking happens all the time, but can be felt more from those from the stronger federations through influencing and rule changing. It became more apparent when their skaters were still able to scores high without the performance or the technical content to back it up. Politicking include favours, you do this for me this time and I do this for you next, the essence of diplomacy between strong nations.
It shows up at home competition bonus or coach's home competition bonus. So ideally if the skater get these 2 assignments, they have higher chance of sailing through the competition. And more often than not, they can get away with all sort of crap if they failed to deliver a credible performance; the only question is the degree of threshold they can get away with based on their reputation, momentum and impression and some abstract indicators called the COP PCS.

Here's an example of a likely politically motivated rule change:the rule change that allowed ladies to perform a double or triple axel in the short program. I assume that the Japanese Federation pushed this through for Mao right before the last Olympics so she would have an advantage. I wonder if she felt pressured by her fed to do the triple axel in the short and that was why she was obsessed with that jump at the exclusion of other jumps that year.

Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora Perform at DKNY Party
Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora brought some style and lots of energy to Club DKNY in celebration of #DKNYARTWORKS in London on Wednesday. The fashionable affair, hosted by model Cara Delevingne, featured performances by both ladies.
Iggy hit the stage in sneaker heels and track pants while performing her hit "Work." Rita was decked out in a DKNY jersey and metallic pants, sharing the stage with Wretch 32. They later posed for some silly pics backstage.
"Thanks for having us DKNY! Clearly we all had fun. Ha!" tweeted Iggy, while Rita thanked her fans. "My bots showed me so much love tonight at DKNY! I LOVE YOU!!"

LOWVILLE As firefighters approached their fifth hour extinguishing flames at QubicaAMF, 7412 Utica Blvd., on Wednesday evening, they expected several more hours on the scene flushing silos after a dust-collection system in the plant ignited collection bins.
The Lowville Volunteer Fire Department was called about 3:30 p.m. for reports of the fire, which quickly spread to three different locations.
The flushing of the silos forced fine sawdust into the air, mixing with the blowing snow as the temperature dipped into the single digits.
The mill is shut down now and will be for the foreseeable future, Lowville Fire Chief Timothy N. Bush said.
Mr. Bush said the fire was contained to the silos and there was no danger from chemicals in the plant.
The facility also had a pair of silo fires in July 2005 and March 2006.
The Lowville plant is the largest manufacturer of wooden bowling pins in the country.

Supervisors Green Light Mega Grant
- Last Updated on 10:55 AM 01/06/10
- BY Paula I. Bryant
Supervisors approved a resolution in a special called meeting Friday afternoon supporting the Halifax County Industrial Development Authority's (IDA's) submission of a $5 million research and development grant to fund up-fit for a 20,000-square-foot facility that is not located in Riverstone Technology Park.
IDA officials declined to comment further on the possible location of the prospective high-tech industry, emphasizing only that it is not located at Riverstone.
According to the resolution, the facility could be expanded by an additional 100,000 square feet and would be leased by an economic development prospect.
In addition to the $5 million grant, the resolution also states the IDA will provide a match of $13,165,000 in the form of a loan guaranteed by USDA-Rural Development for the purpose of purchasing equipment for the economic development prospect.
The IDA plans to recover the matching funds through a binding lease agreement with the prospect, the resolution states.
IDA Project Manager Jeff Reed told supervisors prior to the vote Friday that he had just left a meeting with representatives from the prospective high-tech company that could invest between $23 to $25 million in this area creating 199 new jobs over a five-year period and offering employees a starting salary of $41,000 in the first 30 months and a weighted salary of about $51,000 after 60 months.
Reed stressed the new economic development project "is not tied to Riverstone," adding, "but I cannot tell you what they are looking at doing."
Supervisor Bowman questioned whether the county would be liable or have to guarantee any part of the $13 million loan.
"I can tell you at this point Mr. Bowman that we are led to believe that no guarantee is going to be required. We may have to find out more information as we get into this, and I think it will depend on how successful we are with the grant application," Reed said.
He added the USDA guarantees loans at the level of $5 million or more at 70 percent by the federal government, and the original bank the IDA has been working with on this project "was happy with that."
"That's a pretty comfortable guarantee to a bank lender," Bowman said of the 70 percent.
Supervisor Chairman William Fitzgerald reiterated an earlier question by Bowman asking what specifically would be the county's moral obligation.
"The financial institution we were working with indicated they were not going to need one, and we believe that will be the case with just about anyone we work with because it is being guaranteed already by the federal government," Reed responded.
If at the last minute, a guarantee from the county becomes necessary, Reed assured supervisors that would be a negotiation point that would be brought back to the full board of supervisors.
"Right now we have no reason to believe that is going to be needed," he added.
The time line of this project involves applying for a grant from the $100 million research and development fund set aside by the tobacco commission.
Applications are due today, Reed told supervisors, noting the IDA's application is the first application to be received.
"We are under the impression they will receive these Nov. 9, and the committee will meet within 10 days to review the applications they have received and then award sometime in January. If the commission committee is not comfortable with that process, they may delay awards until April," he said noting the committee's next meeting is set for Dec. 10.
Reed explained the IDA has vetted this research and development project with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and with the tobacco commission staff, and staff feels very comfortable with the application meeting their criteria.
"We have no feeling on how the funding will go," he added, "whether it will be full, partial or none," he added.
Before making the motion to approve the resolution, ED-4 Supervisor Bowman said he is aware the IDA has been working with this particular prospect for six months.
Seven supervisors attending the meeting unanimously approved the resolution authorizing the IDA to submit the grant application by today's deadline.
ED-6 Supervisor Wayne Conner was unable to attend the special called meeting.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sony Pictures Television says it will become
the first Hollywood studio to offer full-length movies by
The unit of Japanese electronics maker Sony Corp. says it will
offer a range of popular titles on special AT&T Inc. phones in May.
The movies, such as "Bugsy," "Ghostbusters" and "Karate
Kid," will be among those that have made their theatrical and DVD
runs and have been broadcast on TV already.
The titles will be streamed with advertisements in a loop and
not be available on demand.
San Antonio-based AT&T says it has not yet determined a price on
the new subscriber package. Those who wish to obtain the service
can only do so on new LG Vu and Samsung Access phones.

Better period for Mincor
12th Apr 2012
PERTH, April 12 – The March 2012 quarter has been a good one for Kambalda, Western Australia, nickel miner Mincor.
Its preliminary March quarter results, which don't include any financials, has the company's Kambalda nickel mines' production up 29% on the December 2011 quarter to 2,682.1t nickel-in-ore and the grade up 11% to 3.06%.
The new high-grade N29C orebody at Miitel is set for production by end of the June quarter, the high-grade N10B orebody at Mariners is also set to start production ramp-up in June and the new discovery at McMahon (the MNO3 orebody) has potential to add future high-grade production.
Mincor's mines produced 87,696t of ore at 3.06% nickel, for 2,682.1t contained nickel. Nickel-in-concentrate totalled 2,405.4t, with cash costs yet to be finalised, but expected to be well below the targeted $A6.10/lb.
Mincor says it is on-track to meet its production forecasts and substantially out-perform its cost forecasts for the 2012 financial year, which were 10,000t nickel-in-ore at cash costs before royalties of $A6.10/lb.
Mincor's 70%-owned Carnilya Hill mine reached depletion during the March quarter and shut-down protocols have been implemented.
Mincor's full March quarterly is expected about April 18.

- Last Updated on 07:33 AM 03/18/13
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
A 24-year-old Virgilina man, Ronnie Dean Newbill Jr., was convicted Tuesday in Halifax County Circuit Court of unlawful wounding and two other related charges.
The court convicted Newbill of the unlawful wounding of Laura Leigh Moody, entering a house to commit assault and battery and damaging a phone line with the intent to prevent another from summoning law enforcement.
The court dismissed two other charges against Newbill during the trial, one for abduction and the other for misdemeanor assault and battery.
Sentencing for Newbill was continued to a date in the May court term.
Other court cases

Lovely people, Sam is back today to update us. When we last heard from her she spoke of the dilemma that many of us have faced, or are currently facing, the head versus heart debate. How much of your life can you put on hold whilst trying to conceive? Things have moved on a little for Sam since then and you can read all about it here:
It feels like an age ago since I wrote about debates between my head and my heart, but in reality it was only last month. I feel like since we started trying to conceive, I live my life twenty seven days at a time; totally focused on those vital few fertile days, and then existing in the vast emptiness that is the two week wait – or twelve day wait in my case. Despite making the decision to try until May, we have discussed it further and accepted that realistically, we need to make a decision now. As a result, this is our last cycle of trying for a while. We don't know how long that while will be, not until I can establish what my options are once the course starts in August.
Before stopping completely, I want to be sure that everything is working as it should, and so this month I am finally introducing methods of tracking ovulation. The first method is Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs). These are little dipstick tests – which look a lot like pregnancy tests – but instead give you a positive result when they detect a surge of the luteinizing hormone (LH), which your body releases roughly twenty four hours prior to ovulation. However, because your body can produce a positive OPK but then fail to ovulate, I am also trying my hand at temping this cycle too. This involves setting my alarm for 5:30am each morning, sticking a thermometer in my mouth for a few minutes, and then going back to sleep. Once I ovulate, I will see a consistent temperature rise for at least three days, which is the only sure way of knowing that my body is doing what it should be. Today is cycle day (CD) 12 and I expect to ovulate on CD15, so I'm getting ridiculously excited at the prospect of seeing a positive OPK result soon. I'm hoping that my chart will also confirm ovulation. It has been a bit erratic over the weekend, but I think that is linked to my excessive consumption of alcohol at a Curry Karaoke night on the Saturday, so hopefully it will be far more consistent from now on.
Life at the moment is a roller coaster of ups and downs. Some days I want to be pregnant, more than anything else in this world. Other days, I am giddy at the prospect of a career change and a new challenge, being out of employment for the first time in my life…but then I feel guilty for thinking that, I feel as though every thought should be focused on becoming a mother. I'm really starting to feel as though I will be ok, whatever the outcome this month. Yes, I will be sad if it's not our lucky cycle. However, I think that once the initial upset has passed, I may actually be quite happy to start out on this journey towards a new career, the career that I always wanted as a child – not many people have the chance to achieve their childhood dream.
So, lovely readers of RTS, this is the deciding round. Will my next post be one of farewell for a while, or will it be a lovely Big Fat Positive announcement? Although I hope it is the latter, I really think that regardless of the outcome this month – it will all work out. The lovely Sammi often quotes a phrase that I think sums it up perfectly:
"It's going to be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."

Tarrus Riley New Album Release
Tarrus Riley's latest project, 'Mecoustic' is set to be released in the Caribbean on September 25. The 15-track album will be a welcome treat to the palette of his established fans and will certainly 'whet' the appetite of those who have not yet fallen under his spell. Mecoustic is raw, soulful and skilfully works the artiste's sweet, nuance tenor with the pure and authentic sounds of instruments like the acoustic guitar, keyboards and Dean Fraser's unforgettable saxophone. Considered one of the most promising of second-generation Jamaican roots-reggae singers, Tarrus Riley's foray into the industry was inevitable. The talented singer and songwriter was always surrounded by music from an early age with veteran reggae singer Jimmy Riley as his father. Riley has learnt a lot by merely being in the environment of the music business. He caught on very quickly and made his recording debut as a teenager.

Does Microwaved Water Kill Plants?
A claim circulating online states that microwaved water kills plants, proving that microwave ovens are unsafe. Today we'll investigate the veracity of this claim.
The origin of this popularly-cited assertion is that of a science fair project by a girl in secondary school in the UK. That project showed a series of photos in which the plant using microwaved water die, while the plant receiving purified water thrived.
While the photos of the experiment are convincing, the test was not performed to scientific standards. Further, many individuals have attempted to duplicate the results of this test without success as shown in the three videos below:
Our own non-scientific experiment matched the results of the videos above. After 10 days of watering two plants with purified water and microwaved water, we have found no discernible difference in the plants.
Bottom Line
There is no scientific evidence that microwaved water is harmful to plants, and the results of the science fair project have proven difficult to duplicate. Further, our own tests have shown virtually no difference between plants watered with filtered water or microwaved water.

OTTAWA — The seventh-inning stretch couldn't come soon enough for Mayor Jim Watson, Hall of Fame pitcher Fergie Jenkins and nine others who were confined inside an Ottawa Stadium elevator for almost an hour Saturday during the city's inaugural Baseball Day.
The incident — emblematic of Ottawa's recent pro baseball fortunes — ended when one of the mayor's aides, Will Bulmer, managed to open the elevator doors with his umbrella.
Jenkins, who later posed for pictures and signed autographs for Ottawa fans, was full of praise for Bulmer.
"He (Bulmer) said he was a little claustrophobic, but he's the one that saved our bacon," said Jenkins, 71, a 1971 Cy Young Award winner and the first Canadian elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The party entered the elevator on the stadium's fourth floor at about noon in order to take part in the 12:15 p.m. opening ceremonies on the stadium's rain-soaked field.
But the elevator jammed between the third and fourth floors.
Watson and his staff immediately took to their mobile phones to summon the fire department and an elevator mechanic.
Initially, rescuers tried to lower the elevator to the basement, but that didn't work.
Still waiting to be rescued, Bulmer pried open the interior doors of the elevator to increase the air flow. He was then able to communicate with a firefighter, who told him it was possible to open the outer doors of the elevator with a safety latch located near the top of those doors.
As others shone light from their mobile phones on the situation, Bulmer located the safety latch and tripped it with the tip of his umbrella. Firefighters then wedged an axe between the doors to keep them open.
A chair was passed down and everyone climbed out, one by one, onto the fourth floor.
They were in the elevator for 45-50 minutes.
"We basically rescued ourselves," said Carl Kovacs, chair of the Fergie Jenkins Foundation.
The mayor, well-known as an inveterate Tweeter, did not post news of the mishap. But when asked about his "elevator adventure" by a Twitter follower, he responded with, "Spent some quality time with Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins!"
David Gourlay, founder of the Champions for Ottawa Baseball, a citizens group promoting pro baseball in the city, said the elevator incident highlights the need to improve the Ottawa Stadium.
"It's a beautiful stadium — it's only 22 years old — in a great location, but there's obviously some fundamental things that need to be done," said Gourlay, who was also one of those trapped.
The stadium's scoreboard, concourse, bathrooms and, of course, its elevators need an upgrade, he said.
"We want to improve the fan experience and we've got a year to get that right."
The Ottawa Stadium will be home next year to a Can-Am baseball team, the third pro team to take up residence in the 10,600-seat stadium.
The league signed a 10-year lease with the city, which pays about $400,000 in annual upkeep on the stadium.
The deal with the Can-Am league followed council's decision last year to forego a $40-million stadium renovation demanded by the owners of a Double-A baseball team that was interested in moving to Ottawa.
Saturday's Baseball Day event at Ottawa Stadium featured free exhibits, clinics and two exhibition games — all to raise money for the Miracle League of Ottawa and Fergie Jenkins' charitable foundation.

GIG ROWING: Double win for Weymouth
4:39pm Friday 23rd August 2013 in Sport
WEYMOUTH emerged as the big winners at the third Lyme Regis Gig Club rowing regatta.
Fourteen gig clubs from around the South West went to the Cobb to compete against hosts Lyme in what proved to be tough rowing conditions heading out to Monmouth Beach.
The regatta started with under-14 and 16 teams racing for the HMS Conway Calcutta Cup – and what a start it was for Lyme.
The cup was presented to Lyme under-16 captain Josh Fletcher by mayor Sally Holman, while the under-14s also won their class and received vouchers from Rinky Tinks.
Clubs competing included Catte-water, Weymouth, Portland, Ilfraco-mbe, Teign, Torridge, Swanage, Sidm-outh, Bridport, Langston, Brixham, Clevedon, Bristol, Appledore and Lyme Regis.
The men's and women's heats were raced over 1.2km with the fastest eight teams qualifying for the final.
Weymouth A, Ilfracombe A, Catte-water A, Swanage A, Teign A, Lyme A and Ilfracombe B qualified for the showpiece and it was Weymouth who took top honours.
And there was an action replay in the women's event with Weymouth once again taking the title, seeing off competition from Ilfracombe A, Swanage A, Swanage B, Teign A, Bridport A, Bristol C and Lyme A.
The veterans' (over-41) races followed with 17 gigs competing and the men's race was won by Cattewater and the ladies' by Ilfracombe.
Lyme Regis Gig Club provided refreshments throughout the event and chairman Marcus Dixon said that everyone really enjoyed the day.
He also thanked the Lyme Regis harbourmaster for all his support.

We definitely picked a great week to visit Calgary as it was filled with events tailored to its growing start-up scene.
After spending the day talking to entrepreneurs and the people who foster Calgary's start-up ecosystem every day, we hosted a sold-out event at the AcceleratorYYC event. Christian MacLean, Pat Lor, and Lori Stewart joined Jason Bailey to share their views on what it takes to build a start-up. Here are some of the insights that were shared on Twitter:
"@growlabs says canadian entrepreneurs need to b more aggressive… b polite & apologetic in traffic!"
"Chief Calgarian Rockstar Patrick Lor says lots of talking & not enuff doing @growlabs #justdoit"
"Patrick Lor says very few ppl can raise a company alone… find a cofounder with complimentary skillsets"
A big shout-out and thanks to the teams at AcceleratorYYC, Startup Calgary, and the awesome panel.
