Cheap hotels in Leopoldstadt, Vienna
Neighborhood Description
On the other side of the Donau canal from Innere Stadt, Leopoldstadt is Vienna's newest chic neighborhood. Originally the Jewish quarter, Leopoldstadt is now home to restaurants and bars chock a block with pretty young things.
Bear in mind those spots are a bit more spread out compared to the rest of the city. There are areas in Leopoldstadt that feel decidedly empty after dark. Stay close enough to the canal (which has sand and sunbathers in the summer) and it's an inexpensive alternative to the center of the city.

MERIDIAN Twelve-hundred pounds.
Thats the combined weight of Rocky Mountain Highs five offensive linemen, and one of the big reasons the Grizzlies are off to a 4-0 start.
Jacob Dalmas, Andrew Belnap, Isaac Reyna, Eli McCullough and James Tucker dominated the line of scrimmage, leading Rocky Mountain to a 47-17 victory against Boise on Friday night at Brighton Stadium.
With the help of his powerful line, junior quarterback Riley Bradshaw completed 14-of-21 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns, and scrambled for another 98 yards and two TDs on the ground.
They give me a lot of confidence, Bradshaw said. The ability to step in and make all my throws is big. I dont think I got sacked at all today. They definitely played a great game.
The victory keeps Rocky Mountain in a tie for first with fellow unbeaten Eagle in the 5A Southern Idaho Conference, while Boise falls to 2-2.
Tonight I thought the kids came out and had more composure and kind of had that edge about them, Rocky Mountain coach Jason Warr said. They just finished drives. I was really pleased.
Bradshaw mastered the art of the option read in the first half. With the Boise defense zeroed in on Rockys backs, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound QB twice ran in untouched from 12 yards out for touchdowns.
Highlighted by a 54-yard run behind Boise State commit and left tackle Eli McCullough, Bradshaw was able to lead the Rocky Mountain offense to touchdowns on four of its five possessions in the first half.
Running backs Dakota Weindel and Jason Crimmins each added TD runs, and by the time the first 24 minutes were drained from the clock, the Grizzlies held a comfortable 34-7 lead.
We want to be balanced on offense, and having those different weapons is a big thing Warr said.
Adding to Rockys success is a defense that entered Fridays game limiting opponents to a league-best 18.7 points per game.
The Grizzlies harassed Boises offense, forcing two fumbles and an interception.
Coaches really emphasize finishing. Its our main goal in practices, said Rocky junior linebacker Jake Knight, who picked off a Boise pass midway through the second quarter. Thats what the coaches tell us to do, so we do it.
NOTE: Meridian Mayor Tammy de Weerd was on hand at halftime to help dedicate the opening of Rocky Mountains new concession, bathroom and ticketing building at Brighton Stadium. Rocky Athletic Director Troy Rice said donations from members of the community helped fund the project.

IF in Scotland
In 2013 we need Scotland's politicians, institutions, organisations, faith groups, private companies and individuals to reflect on their role in tackling global hunger and to take action.
There is enough food for everyone in the world, but 1 in 8 people will go to bed hungry tonight.
It's unfair, it's unjust, and it's totally preventable.
Scotland's voice must be heard at Westminster, the G8 and across the world as part of the UK-wide Enough Food For Everyone IF campaign.
But in Scotland itself we can also play our part in ensuring that every family and every child has a life free from hunger:
- IF Scotland supports: we should build on Scotland's commitment to international development by maintaining and increasing the International Development Fund and the Scottish Climate Justice Fund.
- IF Scotland protects: we should actively support fair and ethical trading, as well as tax transparency, through what we buy.
- IF Scotland inspires: we should use our own history of the Highland Clearances to contribute to the global debate on land rights for people in developing countries.
- IF Scotland learns: we should invest in global citizenship education for children, young people and adults, so they better understand the issue of hunger and their role in tackling it.
- IF Scotland improves: we should assess Scotland's impact on developing countries and improve our response.
Find out more about the campaign in Scotland by downloading our manifesto (see below) and taking action today.
Watch the IF campaign launch
Scotland's launch for the Enough Food For Everyone IF campaign took place in Glasgow, and featured an appearance by the actor Atta Yaqub plus a performance by an amazing kids' rock band:
Political support for IF in Scotland
February 2013: the leaders of Scotland's four largest political parties show their public support for the Enough Food For Everyone IF campaign during an event at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, as they receive copies of the Scottish manifesto - which contains specific policy recommendations for Scotland.
IF at the Scottish Parliament
IF Scotland plays its part, we can help make 2013 the beginning of the end of hunger. The campaign received huge cross party support at a reception at the Scottish Parliament.
History repeating? Land grabs and the Highland Clearances
200 years ago, thousands of smallholder farmers were forcibly evicted from their land in Sutherland during the Highland Clearances. Two centuries on, there are clear parallels to the wave of land grabs taking place across the developing world. Watch the video below and read more about an event on this subject that took place in March 2013.
Malawi to Scotland
Right now, some 2 million people in Malawi are food insecure. 2013 marks 200 years since the birth of the Scottish explorer Dr David Livingstone, who travelled to Malawi. So what better time to be tackling the scandal of hunger in Malawi and beyond? To mark the bicentenary, Malawian President Joyce Banda visited Scotland. The IF Campaign joined her at an event in Edinburgh held by the Scotland Malawi Partnership.
Public sector buyer-power
IF Scotland is calling on the Scottish public sector to use its buyer-power to favour companies that pay their fair taxes in developing countries, produce fewer carbon emissions and supply fairly-traded goods. See this joint letter from IF Scotland and others in Scotland's third sector: Sturgeon urged to prioritise ethics in public spending.

Perennial avoiders of chain hotels will love the Pacific. Its neoclassical facade was originally the headquarters of the Hua'an Life Insurance Company and was designed by American architect Eliot Hazzard in 1926. It opened as a hotel in 1940. Its grand exterior made it popular with visiting dignitaries.
As with many historic buildings in Shanghai, this one was given over to the government when the Communists rose to power in 1949, but it was restored to its former glory in 1958. Today its marble lobby and well-equipped rooms are an affordable luxury.
The 182 guest rooms are split into Standard, Business, and Superior.

At the main junctions of the Tel Aviv, the bus stops, and other crowded areas, a small child tells everyone, "Sshhhh!!! …. Take off one day of rest!"
This is the face of a new campaign run by Chabad of Tel Aviv to encourage local residents to observe Shabbos. Personal letters and explanatory materials were recently posted in around 165,000 mailboxes throughout the city. The program has now moved into high gear, with new flyers posted around town.
This means that millions of visitors as well as local residents will see the flyers and advertisements and absorb the message of Shabbos. Already on the second day of the campaign, shliach Rabbi Yechezkel Gewirtz of the Chabad House in Tel Aviv repoted that he has received thousands of inquiries and his internet site has received many hits as well as questions and appeals for advice on how to keep Shabbos.
The campaign was initially launched in response to a drive by other residents of Tel Aviv to run transportation services on Shabbos. Chabad prefers to work in a positive way to spread light, and this new campaign, devised by head shliach Rabbi Yosef Gerlitzky, definitely seems to be successful.

Salt Lake City, UT– Control4 Corporation, a leader in IP-based home and hospitality control systems, brings standards-based automation and energy management to the guestroom experience at Star City Hotel & Casino located on Sydney Harbour in Australia.
Star City operates 200 gaming tables and includes a 480-room hotel, a 2000-seat theater, six restaurants and eight bars. It's about the size of seven football fields and is a key part of the city's vibrant Darling Harbour precinct. Star City hired Suite Control, a custom installation firm dedicated to bringing IP-based automation and control to homes, businesses and hotels, to integrate the Control4® Hospitality solution with on-screen control of the television, IBAHN Video-on-Demand system, lighting and temperature into 176 new luxury suites.
In the new guest suites, the system includes in-room control via a Control4 SC200 and H150 remote, with Philips Dynalite lighting control system, a Control4 wireless thermostat, Samsung LED 3D TV, Bose Cinemate music system, room signage by Access Industries and guest connectivity via Guestlink Powerwave. Star City has built new Signature Penthouses on Level 12 that add bathroom TVs with Control4 on-screen control and luxury media rooms complete with advanced Karaoke consoles, controlled via Control4 touch screens. Star City has outdone itself in redefining the guest experience at its resort which includes the only casino in New South Wales. The Casino has added seven new high-end VIP gaming areas each equipped with an Control4 SC200, Control4 7" Touch screen, Control4 iPod dock, Samsung LED TVs and the iBAHN Video-On Demand system. Leaving nothing to chance, Suite Control has programmed efficiency into the comfort of the guest experience. The suites all feature a button labeled "Leaving Room" by the entry door that automatically places the suite in an energy saving mode: In a single touch, it closes blinds, turns off lights and dials back air conditioners for energy savings. Should a guest not press this on their way out the room, the system will sense no occupancy after 30-minutes and activate the button automatically. Upon guest return the room will greet them by opening curtains, turning on the lights and displaying a welcome message. "Door Ajar" and "Privacy" notification pops up on the TV to assist guests in knowing their safety and privacy needs are met.
"This project really highlights the range of functions and flexibility that the Control4 hospitality solution brings to hotel properties," stated Paul Williams, Vice President of Hospitality for Control4. "Star City and Suite Control did a fantastic job of prioritizing the needs of casino guests and designing a system that gave these high rollers the same experience wherever they go in the resort. Enhancing the guest experience, that's our mission."
With customer stays ranging from a night to indefinitely, Star City added a video tutorial to quickly familiarize guests with the advanced room features and assist them in using all the available functionality. This will all be available by selecting a "Help" tab via the iBahn integrated interface
The new luxury suites at Star City Hotel & Casino are scheduled to open later this year. For more information for more information about Suite Control visit www.suitecontrol.com.au or contact George Nikols at email@example.com.

LOS ALAMITOS -- The Village Christian boys basketball team has some unfinished business to take care of when the Southern Section playoffs get underway this week.
Despite winning the Div. V state title last year, the Crusaders lost in the Div. V-AA semifinals against Ribet Academy, and would like nothing more than to win a section title en route to another possible state championship.
"The kids were pretty disappointed last year," Village Christian coach Jon Shaw said. "We are excited about being No. 1. It's the first time in school history we are the top-ranked team. It should be
fun. Anything can happen."
Village Christian was one of two local teams, along with Westlake in Div. II-A, to earn a No. 1 seed when the section released pairings for 12 divisions Sunday.
The area will be well-represented with 58 teams participating in the playoffs.
The Crusaders, who open against Pacifica Christian, could see surprising No. 8 Bell-Jeff (15-11) in the quarterfinals and No. 4 Buckley (19-6) in the semifinals.
Flintridge Prep, seeded No.2 and paced by junior guard Robert Cartwright, looms on the other side of the bracket.
Westlake, arguably the area's hottest team, plays host to La Habra on Friday.
The Warriors (22-4), who won the Marmonte League championship, were not done any favors by being placed on the same side of the bracket with No. 5 Tesoro, an at-large team from the South Coast League that features Washington
A huge omission, although not entirely surprising, was Alemany (14-13) not receiving one of two available at-large berths in Div. I-AA. The Warriors, who won the Div. III state title last year, lost seven consecutive games to end the regular season.
"We're extremely disappointed that we didn't get into the playoffs," Alemany coach Tray Meeks said. "We'll learn from it, grow through it and be ready to go next season."
The Div. I-AA bracket features a gantlet of high-level teams, and the Golden League was not treated well.
Knight travels to No. 4 Mission Viejo, Highland plays host to No. 6 Etiwanda and Palmdale travels to No. 2 Long Beach Poly.
West Ranch and No. 4 Crescenta Valley could make championship runs in Div. I-A.
The third-seeded Wildcats, who won the Foothill League, play host to Ventura. West Ranch faces a possible semifinal showdown against No. 2 Santa Monica.
C.V. plays host Friday to Paloma Valley and would likely see top-seeded El Toro in the semifinals.
Despite finishing fourth in the Marmonte League, Thousand Oaks was seeded No. 2 in Div. II-AA. The senior-heavy Lancers have a tremendous chance to advance to the final.
Calabasas, Hart and Royal are expected to advance deep in the Div. III-AAA bracket.
The Coyotes, seeded No. 5, host Rio Mesa.
Hart, the third seed, plays host to North Torrance and No. 6 Royal travels to Citrus Valley.
Hart (24-2) and Royal (18-8) are on a collision course to meet in the quarterfinals.
Calabasas could meet No. 4 Compton in the quarterfinals and top-seeded Tustin in the semifinals.
Oak Park (No. 2) and Chaminade (No. 3) have a tough task in Div. III-A, despite their seedings.
In addition to possibly meeting in the semifinals, the winner will likely have to deal with top-seeded St. John Bosco and former Taft coach Derrick Taylor in the championship.
Oak Park pulled off an upset last year against St.John Bosco, but the Braves feature a roster of players that all could receive Div. I scholarships.
The deepest division, and best next to Div. I-AA, is Div.IV-AA.
Crespi received a No. 7 seed, Harvard-Westlake is No. 8, Oaks Christian is No.11, Sierra Canyon is No.12 and Paraclete is No. 15.
Crespi faces a possible quarterfinal against No. 2 Price and Harvard-Westlake is on the same side of the bracket with top-seeded and Bishop Montgomery (26-0).
Sierra Canyon travels to Big Bear in its opener, Oaks Christian could see No. 6 Windward in the second round, Milken Community plays host to No. 5 La Verne Lutheran and Notre Dame travels to No. 4 Serra.
"It's one game at a time in this division," Crespi coach Russell White said. "You just have to prepare your team the best you can, play the games and let the chips fall where they may."
Holy Martyrs, which finished third in the Liberty League tournament, was seeded No. 4 in Div. V-A. The Armens won a section championship last year.
Albert Einstein Academy (16-5), the Omega League champion, could surprise a few teams. The Rockets, led by former Montclair Prep coach Greg Patterson, play host to No. 10 Oakwood.
Sahil Rai, Hunter Morris, Chris Yin and Jackie Saucer lead Einstein Academy.

HEPBURN had a point to prove, and how it showed.
The Burras, upset by Daylesford in dramatic circumstances last weekend, were emphatic 64-point winners over reigning premiers Waubra in today's Central Highlands Football League second semi final at Dunnstown.
Hepburn burst out of the blocks and established a 31-point quarter time lead that was never threatened for the remainder of the match.
Newly-crowned Geoff Taylor Medallist Andy McKay starred for the Burras, booting four goals in a masterful display around the ground, while spearhead Lee Cox was strong up forward, finishing with seven majors.
The Burras, led down back by Leigh Santurini and Daniel Smith, had a host of winners and moved the ball with great fluency. The Roos, meanwhile, appeared to struggle with the tempo and pressure applied by their rivals, with Tom Nash, Shaun Mullane and Tom Nijam amongst the better contributors.
Hepburn now prepares for a blockbuster preliminary final clash with Buninyong next weekend, while Waubra farewells coach Shane Skontra from the helm with its season now over.
Tomorrow's first semi final with see Bungaree and Newlyn lock horns at Waubra.

Hampton 620 Modified Sky Lounge Passagemaker Review August 2011Comfortable and Sophisticated Steve D�Antonio June 2011 I�ve spent time crawling through and poking around a number of Hamptons in my career and I�ve written two previous articles on this well known marque. As a result, they�re a well known commodity for me, combining high quality, great attention to detail and a few special touches thanks to their East Coast dealer, Anchor Yacht Sales. When Capt. Forest Roberts, Anchor�s proprietor (and Hampton�s dealer of the year six years running) contacted me and asked if I�d be interested in touring their new model, the 620 Modified Skylounge, I accepted the invitation without hesitation. Like the comingling of fiberglass fabric and resin, it�s difficult to discuss the performance attributes and design features of any Hampton without Forest�s name coming up early on in the conversation, and like resin and fabric, the two are mutually beneficial and reliant upon each other. The first time I met Forest, at the Miami Boat Show several years ago, I thought I had him pegged, a talking head who seemingly had an answer to every question. However, somewhat frustratingly, I found that more often than not the answers were usually the right ones. Later, as I got to know him, and more so after I wrote my first Hampton story, I found that my opinion of him changed dramatically. Referring to Forest as a Hampton booster would be like calling Secretariat just another horse. Forest Roberts and his wife, and able partner at Anchor Yachts, Sandy (he refers to her as Admiral Sandy because, after all, Forest is but a captain) eat, breath, sleep and likely dream Hampton Yachts and ways to support and improve them. We�ll return to them and the role they play in this story later. Sea Trial Forest met me at the airport and asked what I wanted to do first. I said, �Let�s go for a sea trial�. Just minutes from Ft. Lauderdale International airport, Anchor Yacht�s office, formerly Hacienda Cove Police Station, Fire Department and Courthouse, is an immaculately manicured water front complex with 500 feet of dockage, a workshop and sales offices. It�s where all Anchor Hamptons are commissioned. Within less than an hour of wheels down Forest and I were underway, heading down the New River toward Port Everglades inlet and the Atlantic. On several occasions during this nearly hour-long run, if you�ve ever transited this waterway you know how tight the quarters can be, Forest ran on one engine with the other trailing in neutral, demonstrating how well the 620 maneuvered under reduced, uneven thrust. When we reached the inlet it was clear the conditions were ideal, for a sea trial that is, it looked, with wind against tide, like the proverbial washing machine. The 620 churned her way through this confused tumult, finally breaking out into more predictable albeit far from placid conditions. Winds were from the southeast at 20-25 kts, seas ran 4-5 feet with white caps all around. We took continuous spray over the bow while running into the wind. It was, however, sunny and the temperature hovered around 85�. While I do suffer from seasickness, I was pleased to see that the environment represented real-world cruising conditions, through which we ran for nearly an hour. The 620 took this all in style, her Wesmar digital three term gyro stabilizer system, employing six square foot fins kept her on a mostly even keel in everything from bow on and beam to quartering and following seas. With a realistic 7/8 fuel and � water, 950 and 300 gallons respectively, at my request we ran at everything from idle to wide open throttle through troughs and over crests; the 620 shook it off, maintaining a steady course and speed with minimal manipulation of the helm. I was even able to have lunch after the trial, an indication of the 620s sea kindliness. You can see video of the Hampton 620 underway at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8IB8nA4SWc The 620 Modified Skylounge flybridge, it�s the only station on this vessel, a lower station is optional, utilizes a unique combination of three sections of conventional 10 mm glass for the forward sections and 40 mil flexible Strataglass for side and aft curtains. Fixed glass panes are also installed below the main panes, affording better visibility of the fore deck, and the hardtop extends slightly over the windshield, reducing glare. Not only do these two features, a departure from earlier Hamptons, offer added functionality, they simply look better. Mullions between windshield panes are reasonably narrow; a welcome feature that keeps blind spots to a minimum. However, the dashboard forward of the helm console is a glossy, arctic white, the reflection of which onto the inside of the windshield can be distracting. This could be easily remedied if this area were gelcoated or painted a neutral color such as flat gray. The fixed forward glass panels are equipped with heavy duty pantograph windshield wipers, which we tested heavily, while the side curtains conveniently lift inward and upward, where their bottoms are easily affixed to the overhead. This, along with triple overhead hatches, affords the bridge ample ventilation and an all around good feeling for the crew. If, however, the weather�s too hot, or rainy, the bridge, equipped with three air handlers offering a total of over 40 thousand Btu of cooling power, is fully climate controlled. On an earlier Hampton I reviewed I complained that the quality of the helm seating was not in keeping with the vessel�s overall high level of fit and finish. The 620 has no such shortcoming, with twin Pompanette captain�s chairs bridge crew sit in style. Thanks to some careful engineering, liberal use of acoustic insulation and the cored composite nature of the cabin and decks, the 620 is quiet underway. While at 18 kts and 1900 rpm I took sound readings in every cabin and was impressed with what I heard, or didn�t hear. On the dBA scale, the flybridge measured 72, forward cabin 68, starboard guest cabin 67, master stateroom 69, galley 67 and saloon 72. Considering that a luxury automobile traveling over a smooth road at 60 mph typically yields noise readings of somewhere around 68 this is all the more impressive. Albeit outside, the only area that was noisier than I would have expected was the cockpit, with a noticeable rumble it measured 87, far too load to be enjoyable underway. Hampton and Anchor are still working on a fix for this audible malady. A full range of speed and fuel consumption figures are available from Anchor, however, in brief, at wide open throttle, at the above mentioned loads, pushed by her optional CAT 873 HP C18s, the 620 managed a very respectable 21 knots. At 19.5 kts and 2000 rpm, fuel burn is 78.8 gph. However, at a comfortable 12 knots, she turned 1400 rpm and burned a total of just 27.8 gph. Cabins and Accommodation Spaces Accommodations spaces aboard the 620 are modern and comfortable with an air of sophistication that is no doubt the result of the flawlessly finished, high gloss Mikori veneer and burled inlay, a Hampton Yachts hallmark. In fact, I have yet to board a Hampton where the joiner work was anything less than a stunning display of perfection and the 620 is no exception. The finish is no accident; Hampton uses a proprietary process that relies on no less than twelve coats of two part polyurethane varnish. The Hampton 620 offers an amidships king master, a forward queen VIP and a between the two, on the starboard side, a double twin. However, rather than describe each and every cabin in detail, you can see and read about these on Anchor�s website, I�ll instead touch on notable highlights. The 620 is equipped with a combination of ultra-thin LED and LCD TVs and sound systems in just about every space, count them, there are seven, including the fly bridge, cockpit and galley. TV�s in the master and VIP staterooms include surround sound. Speaking of the master stateroom, it has twenty drawers, all of which are made if dovetail jointed white pine and all slide on high quality metal tracks and ball bearings (rather than plastic bushings). They�re small things but all interior door locksets are from the well respected manufacturer Baldwin and each and every cabinet and storage space (including the bilges!) is expertly and smoothly finished in gelcoat, paint or attractive woodwork. Not such a small thing is the interior lighting, it�s all LED, Forest says this was a $9700 upgrade, a change Hampton made at his request. A storage area located under the forward cabin and central accommodation passageway could easily hold months� worth of provisions and spares. Storage aboard a cruising vessel is often in short supply; therefore, its value cannot be overestimated and as such this area is simply invaluable. I would, however, recommend two minor changes, the access ladder�s round rungs should be flat, this would offer surer and more comfortable footing, especially when shoeless, and considering Hampton�s joiner working prowess, I would like to see them include shelving and bins. Currently, the space lacks any means of stacking or supporting layers of provisions and gear, reducing its efficiency. The full size Bosch Axxis dryer is located under the companionway stairs, housed in a flawless, nearly invisible when shut, Makore faced locker. The washer is located in a similar locker on the master stateroom forward bulkhead. On many vessels little thought is given to access to these and other appliances, for service or repair, often necessitating removal of joiner work. Not only does Hampton thoughtfully make provisions to easily slide them out, they include a stainless steel skid plate to prevent the varnished deck on which they are mounted from being scratched in the process. The galley, located just aft of the forward seating area and what would be the optional lower helm station, is a practical and well equipped, with a full size GE Profile stainless steel refrigerator, Fisher Paykel dish washer and trash compactor, the latter two Makore trimmed and thus invisible when closed as well. Overhead cabinets securely hold dishes and glasses, all of which remained absolutely stationary during our sea trial, as did all of the vases, plants and other decorations around the cabin (they are held in place with a special non-permanent adhesive). A glass top electric range and oven complete the picture. The rounded edge galley countertops are granite, as is the dining table and sole. The makore trimmed wine locker, with a glass door, lives opposite the galley. Notably, hutches, cabinets and other the furniture are equipped with fiddles to keep gear, dishes and glasses from ending up on the deck while in a seaway. I like fiddles and consider them a necessity for any vessel that leaves sheltered waters. The galley breakfast bar incorporates yet another Hampton trademark, captive stools. That is, the two forward square stool legs engage matching square cutouts on the foot rest. This arrangement keeps the stools safely in place while underway. It�s a nice touch that Hampton has used for years, one I�m surprised it hasn�t been adopted by other manufacturers. Weather Decks The 620�s ground tackle is all business, relying on a Maxwell electric windless, 300 feet of 3/8� chain and a single 50 kg stainless steel anchor. A heavy duty, highly polished stainless steel chute with a clamp gate supports the anchor when stowed. As an indication of the level of attention paid to critical gear such as ground tackle, the chute roller is retained by a nylon lock nut and cotter pin. Talk about belt and suspenders. Lockers on either side of the windlass provide ready access to the chain. Six large cleats are installed on each side of the deck, providing a variety of main and spring line attachment points. It�s easy for builders to slip into the, rob Peter to pay Paul trap, by impinging on side deck space, or doing away with it altogether, to make the saloon wider. Not in this case, the 620�s symmetrical side decks are generous, measuring between 17 and 22.5 inches wide (they are funnel-shaped, getting wider from the deck up to match the human form factor). Bulwark and rail heights are also generous, affording crew a strong sense of security when moving about these decks, their height ranges from 32.5 to 36 inches. The rails, like all of the stainless steel work aboard the 620, are gorgeous, highly polished, beefy and functional. Engine room air intakes, which are according to Forest sized for 110% of the engine�s and generator�s needs, are built into the bulwark. This design, as opposed to installation in the hull topsides, ensures that air being drawn into the engine compartment is as free from seawater and spray as possible, and unlikely though it may be they incorporate a dorade to drain off any water that may make its way into the vent. While this isn�t a unique design, it is functional and welcomed. Remote shift/throttle and bow/stern thruster controls are built into compartments located at the aft end of the house, in the cockpit. This enables the skipper to expertly back into a tight slip or stern-to mooring with much greater confidence than working from the fly bridge with a spotter or using a camera. The hatches for these lockers are indicative of all those used on weather decks, if I didn�t know better I�d say they were cast from a solid block of resin, they are smooth, straight and fair. High quality hinges, latches and stainless steel gas shocks make this installation top flight. Storage lockers just forward of the swim platform and the hatch-equipped shore power cord channel, yet another Hampton trademark, use the same approach. Twin 80 foot (a special request to Hampton from Forest, he says 50 feet is never enough), wireless remote reel control, transom-mounted, 50 amp shore cords can be used either singly or simultaneously for support of the vessel�s AC electrical service. Painted aluminum hardware is conspicuous by its absence aboard the 620. With the exception of the dinghy crane, most deck hardware is mirror polished 316L stainless steel, including and especially the twin cockpit sliding doors, they are simply beautiful. While this costs more initially, and weighs more than aluminum, it is truly maintenance free and the owner never has to worry about, or pay for, touch up or painting. Construction and Systems Hull design and construction is important in the respect that it�s impossible to know what�s beneath the gelcoat. I�ve cut into my share of otherwise very pretty hulls only to be horrified at what I found. As such, buyers must simply have faith in a builder�s expertise to do the right thing. Hampton�s conservative approach to this area is evident in the build protocol to which they adhere. The outer five laminates utilize blister resistant and very stiff vinyl ester resin (it shares many similarities with epoxy). The industry norm calls for two laminates, referred to as a skin coat, to provide blister protection, giving Hampton a multifold safety margin. The forward section of the hull incorporates what Hampton calls a collision zone, made up of two laminates of Kevlar up to the toe rail and twelve feet back, and eighteen feet back below the waterline. The hull is a solid fiberglass layup, toe rail to toe rail, while fore and aft stiffeners and stringers utilize synthetic structural foam. Notably, other than furniture and cabin joiner work, no wood is used in the construction process. The remainder of the vessel�s structure, the decks, cabin and cabin top are all built using a composite core material called Divinycell, a synthetic polymer foam that is exceptionally strong yet will neither absorb water nor rot if exposed to the elements. There�s no better way to build a strong, stiff, light and quiet fiberglass structure than with the composite core technique. Spray rails are molded into the hull, rather than being glued and screwed on after the fact. This is important as it makes for an extremely strong structure that does not rely on hardware to keep it attached to the boat in the event of an especially hard landing. Molded in rub rails can only be made using two piece molds and, you guessed it, two piece molds are more expensive and more complex to build and maintain. After removal from the mold the hull is carefully inspected and then hand finished using a four step, successively finer abrasive polishing process. The two part mold also affords the Hampton 620 another of its many attributes, the full, deep keel. Although it�s not especially large or full length, for planing vessels they rarely are, the 620�s keel extends deeper than the hull�s most important accessories; propellers, struts, shafts and rudders, providing them with some margin of protection in the event the vessel should run aground. Hampton Yachts prides itself on its design and execution of its engineering space, lazarettes and engine rooms. The 620, and all Hamptons I�ve been aboard for that matter, is true to form with excellent access to important gear. This is a welcome change from so many designs that relegate engineering space design to afterthought status. Engineering spaces are entered via a transom watertight door, which means service personnel don�t even have to walk through the vessel, or even take their shoes off, to get to this area. While there is no access to the engineering spaces from the main cabin, a lazarette deck hatch (it lifts electrically) and ladder, its treads are comfortably flat by the way, is available for accessing these areas as well, preventing the need for venturing out onto the swim platform to access engines while underway. A short companionway ladder leads down into the large lazarette from the main transom door. While the cherry ladder is beautifully made, the treads are varnished (they do include narrow strips of non-skid), which, when wet, is a recipe for a slip and fall scenario. Traditionally, wood ladder treads are teak, they aren�t varnished, and they offer excellent footing. This is an easy fix. The overhead above this ladder could use another hand hold too. This space provides easy access to steering gear, isolation transformers, 60,000 Btu (each) HVAC compressors, twin HVAC raw water and circulation pumps and the central vacuum unit, twin Charles battery chargers, house battery bank, a workbench and Magnum inverter, among other items. Moving forward through another door brings you into the commodious engine room (while lighting is generally excellent it would benefit from one more fixture on the centerline). For those who prefer stand up engine rooms, the head room here is a generous 71�. The decks in the lazarette and engine room utilize a familiar �coin dot� tread material, however, instead of a hard plastic finish this material, made by Pirelli, is soft and rubbery, offering excellent footing even when the surface is wet (I tested it). In keeping with the good access to gear theme, I was able to make my way to the outboard side of both engines without a great deal of difficulty. Bravo Hampton for not neglecting this important feature. The fiberglass fuel tanks are located forward of the engines, separating this compartment from, and providing insulation for, the master stateroom. Heavy duty, solid polycarbonate, valve equipped sight glasses provide fuel level information, backing up the electric gauges. Main and back up potable water pumps, 120 and 24 volts respectively, are located outboard of the starboard engine. The twin CAT C18s are each equipped with a hydraulic power take off that operates twin power steering pumps. This is Forest�s doing, he doesn�t want an owner to ever have to run the boat without power steering in the event of a single pump or engine failure. The 620 is provided with a manual tiller as well as tools required for propeller removal. Twin Kohler gensets are also located in the engine room, a main 23 kW and a night or light-load 15.5 kW unit. I clearly recall the first time I went aboard a Hampton and made my way to the engine room, as I always do. I marveled at the condition of the bronze raw water plumbing and strainers, they all looked virgin. Even aboard new boats, at boat shows, this gear has usually begun to take on the familiar and harmless green patina. When I looked more closely I noticed that all of these components had been carefully prepared, masked and sprayed with clear coat, to keep them looking new for years to come. This is standard procedure for all Hamptons sold by Anchor Yachts, verdigris, harmless though it may be simply isn�t allowed aboard a vessel under Forest�s care. When I asked Forest about ABYC compliance, he forthrightly shared that Hampton makes every effort to comply, particularly for critical systems like electrical and fuel. I pointed out a short list of observations while he dutifully took notes to pass on to the builder. The Anchor Yacht Sales Value I mentioned earlier the role Anchor Yachts, Forest and Sandy Roberts play and how very important it is. Having known them for several years I�ve been afforded unique insight into just what this means. Take, for example, Forest�s insistence that, at Anchor�s expense, every new vessel�s engines are fully checked out and sea trialed by a dealer for that engine, Caterpillar calls this a start up certification and it�s done in the buyer�s name, to verify they have been installed correctly and in full compliance with the manufacturer�s requirements and to ensure that there will never be an issue over warranty coverage for the owner in the future. This also establishes a detailed baseline for the engines and vessel performance. Forest is also maniacal about ensuring proper performance, tweaking propellers to ensure that engines turn up to their full rated rpm and typically just a little bit more, taking into account the weight owners will inevitably add. Sandy, who does the decorating for most of the boats sold by Hampton, has the couches, chairs and mattresses custom made (couches include large hinged under cushion storage areas and the armrest even has a compartment to hold remote controls). The coffee table, which is also custom made for Anchor, is ballasted to prevent it from falling over in heavy seas. Forest and Sandy personally select all of the hardware for the heads, towel racks, toilet paper holders, etc. and Forest installs them and then he labels the Allan Keys used to install them so an owner won�t come across them someday and say �I wonder what these are for?� Forest and Sandy select and personally deliver to the factory in China every garbage disposal installed Hamptons ordered by Anchor Yachts, and they visit every boat during its build process on at least two occasions. Hamptons sold by Anchor come with everything, from dishes and silverware to linens and towels, Sandy likes to say, �All you need to bring are clothes and food�. Forest is forever tinkering with Hampton designs, recently discussing with me his plans for slightly increasing the depth of the keel and slightly reducing the prop diameter to increase protection for the latter. Looking for better, more reliable and more economical ways of doing things is his mantra; he refers to himself as the Tucker (the innovative auto manufacturer) of boat building. Toward that end, he has installed a product called Pipe Defender aboard the 620, it�s designed to keep the raw water portion of the HVAC system free of marine fouling. Forest also replaces the stock dry exhaust system insulating blankets with a locally made version of his choice, one that he believes fits better and is more durable. Documentation for the 620 is among the best I�ve seen, every manufacturer of every component used aboard the vessel is listed, with model and serial numbers as well as all contact information. Anchor also administers and is responsible for all warranty claims, owners need not deal directly with the factory. Additionally, Anchor works as an intermediary with individual equipment manufacturers, from engines to air conditioners to ensure their customers get the support they need. The Hampton 620 cruises comfortably and economically at 10-12 kts and, when necessary can kick up its heels and move along quickly, faster than most weather systems. The features list is a long one indeed, far too long to fully detail in this article, however, the harder I looked, and the more I listened, the more I liked this boat.

Do you know why the earth is shaped like a globe? (Silence)
So you can kick it and it will roll away! (Laughter) From the moment you wake up in the morning you are always with people and your mind is caught up in worldly thoughts. So sometime during the day, sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed, and kick the world away like a ball.
But as soon as you open your eyes, hold onto the ball because you need to kick it again in the next session. (Laughter) During the day be 100 percent attached to the work, don't try to detach yourself. But when you sit for meditation, then totally detach yourself. Only those who can totally detach can take total responsibility. Eventually you will be able to be both attached and detached simultaneously. Kick the ball and be in the goal! This is the art of living, the skill of living.

In a world that is growing unsafe with amazing rapidity, various security measures have become very important. Whether it is government organizations, corporate houses, public premises, or commercials shops or even residential complexes, security is a major aspect for everyone. Especially checking the unknown visitors becomes an essentially with rapid growth of terrorism all around. Metal detectors perform important task of identifying any unwanted material being carried or concealed by the person and that is why numerous metal detector tenders are floating in the market today.
Requirements of Metal Detectors
These days, metal detectors are extensively used in all public places and official premises. Everyone has to pass through the metal detector test in airports, some leading railway stations, bus stands, invariably in all the shopping malls, court and public office premises, and in commercial enterprises wherever security systems have been put in place. All these have resulted in substantial demands for the device and all the big enterprises including the government always procure these items using metal detector tenders.
Major Sources of Metal Detector Tenders
- Some of the major sources of initiation of metal detector tenders are as follows.
- Defense services; air force, navy; and infantry divisions.
- Affiliated security services like the Border Security Forces, Central Reserve Protection Forces, and Railway Protection Forces.
- Police and law enforcement agencies like CBI, Vigilance, and Crime branches etc.
- Civil Administrative authorities and Judiciary.
- Corporate houses and industrial organizations.
- Shopping malls, large shops and such other places.
- There are various others those are using the metal detector and floating tenders for procurement but these are the major ones.
Types of Metal Detectors
Broadly speaking there are two types of metal detectors. One is the type that is larger in size and static and often set up at the entrance of different establishments and the visitor has to pass through it. When metal is detected in the person or possession of such person the detector will generate a stinging sound. In the same way the other type; hand held detectors work also.
Requirement for the Bidders
Bidders aspiring to bid for and win the metal detector tenders have to take care of certain factors for the purpose. First of all, they should be well conversant in the trade and have sufficient technical background to cater to all the requirements of the procurer. In addition they should be able to provide spare parts as well as repairing and maintenance services for such products. When it comes to bidding for defense services or law enforcement agency tenders, the background, legalities of the products and several other issues may come into play.
However, the quality of the products and its brand would be vital in bidding and winning metal detector tenders.
