This bulletin includes supplementary graphs and tables to complement the construction output datasets. Accompanying background notes provide information on coverage, quality reporting, revisions and publication policy.
Detailed estimates of construction output at current and constant prices for seasonally and non-seasonally adjusted estimates are available to download in the Output in the Construction Industry, April 2013.
Care should be taken when comparing month-on-month estimates as these may be influenced by seasonal factors.
The most recent second estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) indicated that the UK economy grew by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2013 following a contraction of 0.3% in Q4 2012. In contrast with this, construction output fell by 2.4% in Q1 2013 after a short-lived return to growth (0.8%) in the previous quarter.
Looking at the longer term trend, GDP has fallen by 2.6% in the five years since the first quarter of 2008, whereas construction output has fallen by 19.0% over the same time period. Construction estimates account for just 6.8% of overall GDP but are highly responsive to the economic cycle and have provided some of the largest downward contributions. In terms of volume, construction output at constant prices fell to £23,669 million in Q1 2013. This is the lowest level since Q1 1999 and £279 million below the previous trough in Q3 2009.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that bad weather conditions in certain periods and subdued underlying demand contributed to the weak performance of the construction industry.
Construction estimates are a key component of GDP along with the estimates of services, production and agriculture. The table below summarises the various GDP production approach components' headline growths for Q2 2013 along with the revised estimates for Q1.

Aligning the construction output revision period to National Accounts policy
Construction output is a key component of the production approach to measuring gross domestic product (GDP) and, as such, should be subject to the same data policies that govern the accounts although historically it has not been. National accounts data are subject to a
revision policy (27.9 Kb Pdf)
which determines the periods open for data revisions ensuring that revisions to individual estimates can be shown throughout the accounts. Other major short term indicators such as the Index of Production, UK Trade and the Index of Services already adhere to this policy.
From July 2013 the Construction Output time series will be assuming the same revision policy as National Accounts (Table 4).
The National Accounts revisions policy (27.9 Kb Pdf) covers all published quarterly and annual series appearing in the National Accounts.The National Accounts represent a wide array of data on areas as diverse as production, trade, earnings, spending, investment in fixed and financial assets and balance sheets.
The nature of the National Accounts is that in principle all the activity is linked, so that a change in one area will have an impact elsewhere and consequently making revisions to one part of the National Accounts may lead to revisions through the system. The main strength of the system is that it allows analysis of the various economic indicators both in isolation and in conjunction with others. The strength of the integrated National Accounts system however may mean less flexibility for taking on revisions to the National Accounts. The National Accounts revisions policy is designed to give users a clear understanding of which periods are open for revision at each data release and why incorporating revisions from a single source is not a simple matter.
The current revision policy for construction output is to revise current price survey data for 13 months and seasonal factors for 5 quarters. While this is still applicable for processing the data the revisions to the time series will not be available to users until the back periods are 'open' for revisions within the National Accounts. The open revision dates for publications up to the end of 2013 are tabled below.
Publication Month 2013 | Latest data | Traditional period to be revised | New period to be revised | Date of Publication |
July | 2013 Q2 M2 | 2012 Q3 | 2013 Q2 | 12 Jul |
August | 2013 Q2 | 2012 Q3 | 2012 Q1 | 09 Aug |

Statistical continuous improvement
In December 2012, as part of its Statistical Continuous Improvement programme, ONS published a Review of Sample Design and Estimation Methodology for Construction Output. This report evaluated the sample design and estimation methods used on the Construction Output Survey. The conclusions of the review were that the current sample is performing well and that the current methodology for estimation within the survey produces the smallest standard error.
Understanding the data
Short guide to Construction
Construction output estimates are a short term indicator of construction output by private sector and public corporations within the UK. The estimates are produced and published at current prices and constant prices both seasonally and non-seasonally adjusted.
Construction output is used in the compilation of the production approach to measuring gross domestic product.
Interpreting the data
When making comparisons it is recommended that users focus on constant price, seasonally adjusted estimates as these show underlying movements rather than seasonal movements.
Construction estimates are subject to revision because of:
late responses to the Construction Output Survey
revisions to seasonally adjusted factors which are re-estimated every quarter
annual updating of the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) that forms the basis of the sampling for the Construction Output Survey. This occurs in January and can have an effect on the results published in May.
Definitions and explanations
Definitions of terminology found within the main statistical bulletin are detailed below:
Current price (CP)
Current prices are the actual or estimated recorded monetary value over a defined period. They show the value for each item expressed in terms of the prices of that period.
Constant price (KP)
A constant price measure is a series of economic data from successive years put in real terms by computing the production volume for each year in the prices of a reference year. The resultant time-series of production figures has the effects of price changes removed (that is, monetary inflation or deflation). In other words, from the raw data a series is obtained which reflects only production volume. See also deflation below.
Seasonally adjusted (SA)
Seasonal adjustment aids interpretation by removing effects associated with the time of the year or the arrangement of the calendar, which could obscure movements of interest.
It is common for the value of a group of financial transactions to be measured in several time periods. The values measured will include both the change in the volume sold and the effect of the change of prices over that year. Deflation is the process whereby the effect of price change is removed from a set of values. The current reference year is 2005.
Institutional sectors are defined in the System of National Accounts (SNA) glossary as;
Units that are grouped together to form institutional sectors on the basis of their principal functions, behaviour, and objectives.
The resident institutional units that make up the total economy are grouped into five mutually exclusive sectors:
non-financial corporations
financial corporations
general government
non-profit institutions serving households;
In the case of non-financial and financial sectors these can be further broken down into public sector, those units either controlled by the state or funded from the public purse and include general government, local authorities, housing associations and nationalised industries and private sector, those units controlled by private individuals or groups and not by the public sector.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an integral part of the UK national accounts and provides a measure of the total economic activity in a region.
GDP is often referred to as one of the main 'summary indicators' of economic activity and references to 'growth in the economy' are quoting the growth in GDP during the latest quarter.
Construction estimates are a component of GDP from the output or production approach (GDP(O)) which measures the sum of the value added created through the production of goods and services within the economy (our production or output as an economy). This approach provides the first estimate of GDP and can be used to show how much different industries (for example, agriculture) contribute within the economy.
All buildings that are constructed for residential use. Within the public sector this classification includes construction items such as local authority housing schemes, hostels (except youth hostels), married quarters for the services and police, nursing homes, orphanages and children's remand homes and the provision within housing sites of roads and services for gases, water, electricity, sewage and drainage.
Private sector housing includes all privately owned buildings for residential use, such as houses, flats and maisonettes, bungalows, cottages, vicarages, and the provision of services to new developments.
Infrastructure is the generic term for the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities needed for the operation of a society or enterprise. These construction items include buildings, roads, power supplies, etc.
Other new work
Other new work excludes the housing and infrastructure sectors. This classification includes construction items such as factories, warehouses, schools and offices etc.
Within the public sector, non-housing is classified as the construction of building such as schools and colleges, hospitals, universities, fire stations, prisons and museums. Private sector non-housing is comprised of the private /industrial and private/commercial classifications. Private - industrial is the economic activity concerned with the processing of raw materials and manufacture of goods in factories and includes construction items such as factories and shipyards while private – commercial includes all items not included in the previous categories such as embassies, theatres, retail units, warehouses and garages etc.
Repairs and maintenance
The repairs and maintenance heading in the construction estimates comprises of housing, infrastructure and other new work. This concerns work which is either repairing something that is broken, or maintaining it to an existing standard. For housing output this includes repairs, maintenance, improvements, house/flat conversions, extensions, alterations and redecoration etc on existing housing. For non-housing this includes repairs, maintenance, redecoration etc on existing buildings/structures, which are not housing, for examples schools, offices, roads, shops.
Table 2 of the bulletin aggregates infrastructure and other new work into non-housing.
Use of the data
Output of the Construction Industry estimates are widely used both internally and externally and have been identified by legal requirement and user engagement surveys.
The key users of data from the Output of the Construction Industry dataset are:
United Kingdom National Accounts
Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, in order to comply with statutory requirements
industry analysts requiring estimates of the construction industry output of Great Britain
trade associations making UK and international comparisons
other government departments including; BIS, HM Treasury (HMT) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
As well as being a key indicator of the performance of construction companies, the results of the survey also contribute to the estimate of the gross domestic product of the UK, contributing approximately 7% of GDP.
The ONS Monthly Construction Output Survey measures output from the construction industry in Great Britain. It samples 8,000 businesses, with all businesses employing over 100 people or with an annual turnover of more than £60m receiving a questionnaire by post every month. The results of the survey are deflated using price indices from the Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and then seasonally adjusted using X-12 Arima to derive the published estimates.
The latest Quality and Methodology report for the Output of the Construction Industry estimates can be found on ONS Website.
This publication includes data revisions from April 2012. In addition to data revisions, a refinement to the seasonal pattern has caused slight revisions to the seasonally adjusted time series from quarter 4 of 2011.
One indication of the reliability of the key indicators can be obtained by monitoring the size of revisions. The tables below record the size and pattern of revisions which have occurred over the last five quarters. Please note that these indicators only report summary measures for revisions. The revised data may be subject to sampling or other sources of error. Details about this revisions material can be found in the document 'Revisions information in ONS First Release'.

Andrew Wiggins To Kansas And A Top 25 Update
6/3 Update: With Tarik Black joining the fold, Kansas moved up to #5 in my model. Rather than issue an entirely new Top 25, I decided to update this post. This now also includes a few other changes such as DeAndre Kane backing out of his commitment at Pitt, JJ Moore finally officially transferring from Pitt, while Joseph Uchebo enrolling at Pitt from junior college.
Pred Off, PredDef, PredPythag: The predicted points scored and allowed per 100 possessions, and predicted winning percentage against an average D1 team on a neutral floor.
Returning Minutes, Possessions: The loss of high possession players can be a larger detriment to the offense, thus I list percentage of returning possessions in addition to returning minutes.
T100: Number of players who were Top 100 recruits out of high school. People focus on Top 100 freshmen, but Top 100 players are also more likely to become breakout stars later in their career.
Last Pythag: Last year's Pythagorean winning percentage according to Kenpom.com. This is essentially a measure of each team's margin-of-victory in 2012-13.

With the #1 high school recruit Andrew Wiggins in the fold, Kansas is once again the Big 12 favorite. Just look at the high school recruiting ranks of Kansas' potential starting lineup:
PG Naadir Tharpe (RSCI #91 player in 2011)
SG Wayne Selden (ESPNU #14 in 2013)
SF Andrew Wiggins (ESPNU #1 in 2013)
PF Perry Ellis (RSCI #31 in 2012)
C Joel Embiid (up to #6 in ESPNU Top 100, though lower in other rankings).
Bench: Brannen Greene (ESPNU #47 in 2013), Conner Frankamp (ESPNU #46 in 2013), and Andrew White (RSCI #52 in 2012)
That's a pretty special group of talent. But we need to be cautious before we label Kansas a Final Four favorite. This team is exceptionally young. None of these players have ever played more than 15 minutes per game at the college level.
And unlike Kentucky (where the recruiting class is filled with Top 10 recruits), many of these guys are more likely to produce down the road. Guys at Greene and Frankamp's level of the rankings are more likely to become stars as sophomores or juniors than as freshmen. Embiid would appear to be a "sure thing" as a Top 10 recruit, but even the people who are raving about Embiid have described him as a raw talent. They expect him to blossom in 2014-2015, not dominate right away. When you add in the fact that PG Naadir Tharpe struggled with his shot last season, it is clear that Kansas doesn't have the perfect lineup.
But it might be the perfect lineup for Andrew Wiggins. With so many young players, he will be the clear leader. Much like Texas with Kevin Durant, Kansas players will realize that the team can only achieve its lofty goals by getting Wiggins the ball. And he should be able to carry the team to another Big 12 title.
Of course, Kevin Durant lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2007. And with its physical play, college basketball is not a sport that always showcases transcendent players. And after crunching the numbers, my model projects Kansas as the 8th best team in the nation.
Vegas will likely give Kansas better odds than what I have below. But Vegas is calculating the odds of winning a title. I am interested in measuring the quality over the full season, including November and December when Kansas' young players will struggle with the adjustment to the college game. The model concludes that with Bill Self at the helm, Kansas will have an elite defense. He is the best in the business at getting new players to commit on that end of the court. But with so many young players, there will be offensive mistakes. Players will take bad shots. Players will commit silly turnovers. And the model projects Kansas's offensive efficiency to be worse than some of the other elite teams.
The addition of Andrew Wiggins isn't the only thing to shake up my model's Top 25 since the end of April. Yesterday I documented how the addition of Eli Carter moves Florida up to the Top 3 in my model. And I wrote about how the loss of Trae Golden dropped Tennessee out of the Top 25. But here are some details on some other teams that have changed since my late April update.
Rest of Top 25:
13.Ohio St.
19.New Mexico
Into the Top 25
Memphis continues to be one of the bigger movers in the rankings. When I first ran the projections model in early April, I assumed Memphis would have Tarik Black, Shaq Goodwin, and Top 40 recruits Austin Nichols and Kuran Iverson in the front-court. And the model projected Memphis at 16th nationally. But then Tarik Black transferred, and that had multiple consequences. First, Nichols and Iverson had slightly lower expectations than Black, who was an efficient player for three years with the Tigers. With Black gone, Nichols and Iverson would each have to play more minutes. And second, it became more likely that Memphis would have to give some backup front-court minutes to a player like HippolyteTsafack. Tsafack was not a Top 100 recruit out of high school and has had multiple knee injuries limiting him to less than 20 total games in his career. Both these factors lowered the projected offense and defense for the Tigers.
When I re-ran my model (without Black and Antonio Barton who also transferred,) Memphis fell to 29th. But when Memphis added George Washington forward and graduate school transfer David Pellom and Top 100 high school recruit Dominic Woodson, the Tigers immediately upgraded their front-court depth and the model moved Memphis back up to 23rd.
Meanwhile, guard Allerik Freeman was one of the only uncommitted Top 100 high school recruits at the end of April. He recently committed to Baylor. Baylor guard Deuce Bello (who struggled mightily last season posting an ORtg of 86) saw the writing on the wall with Freeman coming in, and elected to transfer. The upgrade from Bello to Freeman moved Baylor from 28th to 24th in my model. Even though the model remains skeptical of Baylor head coach Scott Drew, the Bears have reached the point where even an inconsistent coach should have Top 25 expectations.
In my initial Top 25 and post NBA early entry Top 25, I have profiled all of the other Top 25 teams, but I haven't discussed Baylor yet, so allow me to do that here:
Baylor's front court remains one of the strongest in the nation with Isaiah Austin and Cory Jefferson. But the team also welcomes back rising sophomore Ricardo Gathers who was seriously under-utilized last year and could easily become a star in his own right. And prized forward recruit Dominic Woodson should also provide solid post minutes off the bench.
The biggest question is the point guard position. And while no single player can replace Pierre Jackson, Baylor does have three fairly nice options. First, even though Gary Franklin hasn't been efficient throughout his career, he was a Top 100 recruit out of high school and remains a high potential player. Second, JUCO transfer Kenny Chery should be steady, even if he doesn't dominate. And third, Brady Heslip may be able to provide some minutes at the position. Heslip may not be able to create much, but paired with a player like Freeman in the back-court, he could certainly be counted on for basic ball-handling duties. Throw in prized recruit Ishmail Wainwright and the possible late development of LJ Rose (a highly ranked high school player who still has high potential), and the model can no longer keep Baylor out of the Top 25.
Moving Up
Recently VCU added Florida St. graduate transfer Terrance Shannon. Shannon was not super-efficient at FSU, but the step down in completion should help some. And he makes a difference for VCU because Jarred Guest and Justin Tuoyo were not impressive last year. In net, VCU improves from 24th to 22nd with Shannon replacing Tuoyo who elected to transfer.
I've seen experts write how the addition of DeAndre Kane could have made Pittsburgh an NCAA tournament team, suggesting they are closer to 45th. But the tempo free numbers love James Robinson, Lamar Patterson, and Talib Zanna. That said, I believe you can make a case that the tempo free numbers are wrong here. Kenpom.com may have had Pittsburgh 11th last season, but they only received an 8-seed in the NCAA tournament. And even though Pitt finished 12-6 in the Big East last year which made all of their numbers look good, they didn't really beat quality teams late in the year to justify a strong seed. For example, Pitt's big win at Georgetown which helped inflate their margin-of-victory numbers came early in the conference season before Georgetown figured out its offense. I understand why the numbers like Pitt, but I also understand why most experts are skeptical of their inclusion in the Top 25 at this point.
The team that should have "could" make the tournament attached to it is Oregon. While adding graduate school transfer Mike Moser improves the Ducks expectations substantially, they still seem to be missing the pieces they need to be a winning team in the Pac-12. I will have more to say about Oregon and the Pac-12 in a future week.

SummaryIn type 1 diabetes, T cell-mediated death of pancreatic β cells produces insulin deficiency. However, what attracts or restricts broadly autoreactive lymphocyte pools to the pancreas remains unclear. We report that TRPV1+ pancreatic sensory neurons control islet inflammation and insulin resistance. Eliminating these neurons in diabetes-prone NOD mice prevents insulitis and diabetes, despite systemic persistence of pathogenic T cell pools. Insulin resistance and β cell stress of prediabetic NOD mice are prevented when TRPV1+ neurons are eliminated. TRPV1NOD, localized to the Idd4.1 diabetes-risk locus, is a hypofunctional mutant, mediating depressed neurogenic inflammation. Delivering the neuropeptide substance P by intra-arterial injection into the NOD pancreas reverses abnormal insulin resistance, insulitis, and diabetes for weeks. Concordantly, insulin sensitivity is enhanced in trpv1−/− mice, whereas insulitis/diabetes-resistant NODxB6Idd4-congenic mice, carrying wild-type TRPV1, show restored TRPV1 function and insulin sensitivity. Our data uncover a fundamental role for insulin-responsive TRPV1+ sensory neurons in β cell function and diabetes pathoetiology.

The emerging role of TRPV1 in diabetes and obesity
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Volume 29, Issue 1, 1 January 2008, Pages 29-36
Anish Suri and Arpad Szallasi
AbstractThe capsaicin receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1) is highly expressed on sensory nerve fibers innervating the pancreas. Indeed, the role of TRPV1 in mediating pain during pancreatitis is well established. The initial excitation of these nerves by capsaicin is followed by a reversible refractory state (desensitization) or, under certain conditions such as neonatal treatment, neurotoxicity. Interestingly, ablation of TRPV1-positive fibers by subcutaneous capsaicin treatment not only ameliorates pancreatitis pain but also diminishes aging-associated weight gain and improves glucose tolerance both in mice on a high-fat diet and in rat models of type 2 diabetes. New evidence implies an unexpected, pivotal role for TRPV1 in type 1 (autoimmune) diabetes. Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice carry a hypofunctional TRPV1 mutant. Ablation of nerves carrying this mutant TRPV1 by capsaicin prevents immune-mediated destruction of islet β cells despite the persistence of diabetogenic T cells. Collectively, these findings establish a crucial link among sensory nerves, obesity and diabetes and identify pharmacological TRPV1 blockade as a novel therapeutic approach for diabetes prevention and weight control.

Activation of TRPV1 by Dietary Capsaicin Improves Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxation and Prevents Hypertension

SummarySome plant-based diets lower the cardiometabolic risks and prevalence of hypertension. New evidence implies a role for the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) cation channel in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases. Little is known about impact of chronic TRPV1 activation on the regulation of vascular function and blood pressure. Here we report that chronic TRPV1 activation by dietary capsaicin increases the phosphorylation of protein kinase A (PKA) and eNOS and thus production of nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells, which is calcium dependent. TRPV1 activation by capsaicin enhances endothelium-dependent relaxation in wild-type mice, an effect absent in TRPV1-deficient mice. Long-term stimulation of TRPV1 can activate PKA, which contributes to increased eNOS phosphorylation, improves vasorelaxation, and lowers blood pressure in genetically hypertensive rats. We conclude that TRPV1 activation by dietary capsaicin improves endothelial function. TRPV1-mediated increase in NO production may represent a promising target for therapeutic intervention of hypertension.

'Sensing' autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes
Hubert Tsui, Rozita Razavi, Yin Chan, Jason Yantha and H-Michael Dosch
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune-mediated loss of insulin-producing β-cells. Recent findings suggest that the events controlling T1D development are not only immunological, but also neuronal in nature. In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of T1D, a mutant sensory neuron channel, TRPV1, initiates chronic, progressive β-cell stress, inducing islet cell inflammation. This novel mechanism of organ-specific damage requires a permissive, autoimmune-prone host, but ascribes tissue specificity to the local secretory dysfunction of sensory afferent neurons. In NOD mice, normalizing this neuronal function by administration of the neurotransmitter substance P clears islet cell inflammation, reduces insulin resistance and restores normoglycemia. Here, we discuss this neuro–immuno–endocrine model, its implications and the involvement of sensory neurons in other autoimmune disorders. These developments might provide novel neuronal-based therapeutic interventions, particularly in diabetes.

Cinnamon roll
Cinnamon roll | |
A Finnish korvapuusti ("A slap on the ear")
Alternative name(s) | Cinnamon bun, cinnamon swirl, cinnamon snail, coffee scroll |
Place of origin | Sweden |
Main ingredient(s) | Dough, cinnamon, sugar and butter |
A cinnamon roll (also Coffee scroll, Danish pastry, cinnamon bun, cinnamon swirl and cinnamon snail[1][2]) is a sweet roll served commonly in Northern Europe and North America. Its main ingredients are dough, cinnamon, sugar, and butter, which provide a robust and sweet flavor. It is most commonly eaten as a breakfast food and is often served with cottage cheese or icing.
It consists of a rolled sheet of yeast-leavened dough onto which a cinnamon and sugar mixture (and raisins or other ingredients in some cases) are sprinkled over a thin coat of butter. The dough is then rolled, cut into individual portions, and baked. In North America, cinnamon rolls are frequently topped with icing (usually confectioners' sugar based) or a glaze. In Northern Europe, nib sugar is usually used with a glaze instead of icing.
In Sweden, the country of its presumed origin, the cinnamon roll takes the name of kanelbulle (literally: "cinnamon bun") and October 4th has more recently started to be promoted as "kanelbullens dag" (Cinnamon Roll Day).[3][4] A German variety originating in Hamburg and its surroundings is the Franzbrötchen.
The size of a cinnamon roll varies from place to place, but many vendors supply a smaller size about 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in diameter and a larger size about 10 centimetres (3.9 in) to a side. The largest variety can be found in Finland, called Korvapuusti, where it can be up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in diameter and weighing 200 grams (7.1 oz).[5]
The Finnish "Boston cake" is a "cake" made by baking cinnamon rolls in a round cake pan instead of baking them separately, so that they stick together to form a round cake.[6]
Honey bun[edit]
A honey bun is a sweet roll not very much, but slightly similar to the cinnamon bun that is popular in the southeast United States. "A honey bun is a fried yeast pastry that contains honey and a swirl of cinnamon in the dough and is glazed with icing. According to legend, Howard Griffin of Griffin Pie Co. in Greensboro, North Carolina, developed the first honey bun in 1954. Flowers Foods acquired Griffin Pie Co. in 1983. Although the Greensboro bakery is now closed, honey buns remain a best-seller for Flowers."[7] Unlike cinnamon buns, which are generally the product of bakeries, honey buns are common convenience store and vending machine fare. Normally sold individually wrapped, alone or in boxes of 6 or more, they are a popular grab-and-go breakfast, eaten cold or heated in a microwave oven.
Coffee Scroll[edit]
A variant of cinnamon scroll is coffee scroll when topped with coffee flavor fondant.

Yow Yow: Star Wars Pin-Up/Propaganda Girls
There's nothing sexier than a drawing of a hot girl, amirite? Wrong. That was a test and you failed you little hentai-loving horndog, you. Your shame aside, this is a little gallery of Star Wars pin-up/Galactic Empire propaganda posters as imagined by illustrator Feng Zhu. Because nothing makes men want to join a fighting force like pictures of hot girls, amirite? Wrong again. Guys join fighting forces with the hopes of firing lasers at other people's faces. It's true, even it they don't want to admit it because they want to seem like the quiet, gentle type that deserves to be in your pants. SNAP -- consider yourself cock-blocked, son!

Where I stayed
Harold's Guesthouse
On Saturday when I arrived, I met some of the people who were staying in the dorm with me. Tim offered to show me around the town, so off we went. He's an older British guy who has been traveling the last two years or so in SE Asia trying to hit all the amazing dive sites. The town isn't that big, but we took a tricycle in and then walked around. He showed me the important stuff- bank, stores, etc. We wandered around the market, which has fresh fish, vegetables, and fruit. Then we headed to the boardwalk just to relax, as it was pretty warm. It was cooler than Bangkok, but still warm. That night Tim and Hannah, a British girl who has been teaching in Japan for the past 4 years and staying in the dorm, and I went to dinner. I had marlin, which was delicious- the first of many great meals and seafood!
Sunday, there were a few people headed to Dauin to do some muck diving. It is exactly what it sounds like. We entered from the beach and dove around the sandy areas of the marine sanctuary, searching for all the weird creatures that are camouflaged in the sand. The first thing we saw on the first dive was a blue ring octopus. Two of the other divers were watching for a while so I didn't get a picture, but it was the first time anyone I was with had seen one at that dive site. I would say about 98% of the creatures we saw at Dauin, I had never seen before. It quickly became one of my favorite dive sites. So much so, that I did a total of six dives there over three different trips. Each time was better than the one before.
Monday I signed up to go on a dolphin-watching trip. We were up super early, but it was a very relaxing day. There were eight of us on the boat. First they took us to a sandbar which was at low tide, but wasn't very low. It was beautiful to see where the sand ends and the deep blue begins- amazing to see the color difference. We originally were waiting there for another boat to come, but when it came, it had a lot more people than they were expecting so we just got back on our smaller boat and headed out. We saw quite a few dolphins. It would have been nice if they got a little closer or we were able to snorkel. The sun was hot and breeze was cool…it was a great way to spend the morning.
That night we went to the market to buy some fresh food and headed over to Harold's (the owner of the guesthouse) beach house. There were about 10 of us that went and chipped in for another yummy dinner. We had marlin steaks, pork, chicken, veggie kebabs and rice. It was a nice way to get to know people better and enjoy the evening.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were all spend under the water. Tuesday and Thursday, I went to Apo Island, about an hour away from the guesthouse. It has beautiful coral and marine life. Wednesday and Friday we were back at Dauin for more muck diving. Wednesday evening we did a dusk dive so I could finally see mandarin fish. They are gorgeous! It was a very successful diving trip and I reached 50 dives by the end- not too shabby for a year and a half.
Wednesday night was BBQ night at the hostel. They provide the BBQ; you provide the food. Harold and I picked up a red snapper and squid on our way back from diving. It was another great night of hanging out with amazing people (Orla, Andy, Karl, Paul, Sandra, Andre, Tim, Heini, and others who were only around for a day or two) and eating fantastic food!
Friday was the big day! :-D Harold, Jurry (our dive guide), Tim, Heini, Paul, Karl, another Tim, Kapil and I all went diving together. After diving, we cleaned up and a couple of us went to the market to pick up fresh goodies for my birthday dinner- marlin, pork, chicken, vegetables, and fruit. We saw no reason in changing a good thing. Harold then took Karl, Kapil and me back to his house so we could start prepping dinner. While we were prepping, Harold headed back to the guesthouse to pick up the others.
We BBQ'd again and had a great meal together. Harold even bought a chocolate cake that was phenomenal, considering most cakes in SE Asia are not very impressive. This one was divine. Everyone even chipped in to get me a card and few gifts- a t-shirt from the guesthouse and some silly fish toys. It was really sweet and very much appreciated. We spent the rest of the night getting silly and singing karaoke. It was a fantastic birthday and definitely makes the list as one of the top 5!
Considering we didn't get back to the hostel until 4am, I slept in on Saturday. I didn't really do a whole lot and it was nice to relax and read. I really should have flown back to Bangkok on Saturday night so I could have made Sunday productive, but I didn't and I'm okay with that! Sunday was much of the same as Saturday. I basically hung out with Tim and relaxed until I had to head out for my flight back to Bangkok.

The new town hall
This is not a must-see, it's a will-see. Unfortunately. An excellent example of modern Lego-inspired architecture with a touch of 1930's is this huge shiny plastic-looking white building, designed by Richard Meier, one of the most overrated architects if our time. An entire neighbourhood full of old buildings was destroyed to make room for this ugly piece of crap and some other modern buildings. It's because of this sort of buildings that The Hague is usually ignored by architecture-minded tourists. Such a thing does not belong in an old centre.
Duinrell Attraction Park offers splashing recreation for the whole family. Hurl yourself down terrifying bobsleigh tracks, spin down the splashing Waterspin and roll along the Frogs' roller coaster. The indoor tropical Tikibad is also an experience in itself. This swirling water world offers splashing Attractions for young and old.

A website for everything in the Residence:
Here you also can find information about:
Madurodam, in miniature the whole of Holland at once.
Omniversum, one of a kind cinema, with a global lens projector, that will make a complete surrounding film. -
The Hague is defined as the...
The Hague is defined as the biggest village in Holand. In fact, although it is the seat of the Dutch Government and Parliament and the capital of South Holland, it still looks like a quite town. Actually, the city started to develop only after the Middle Ages and progressivle got importance until our days.
The Hague is one of the diplomatic cities in the world: apart from the International Justice Court, that has its seat here, many Conventions and Treaties have been discussed here. Of course, the Embassies to the Netherlands are also in this city. -
Attractions and museums...
Attractions and museums galore
The Hague offers a wide range of things to do for the whole family. One of the most popular is a visit to Miniature City Madurodam. Another one is leaning back comfortably in the gigantic dome-shaped theater Omniversum to enjoy a film. The Museon is the most attractive non-specialist museum in Holland. If you would like to experience the daily routine of national politics, a visit to the Parliament Buildings will be right up your sleeve. Quite a different kettle of fish are the splashing good fun attractions in Duinrell, which include the tropical Tiki Pool. The fascinating under water world of National Sea Life Scheveningen is well worth a visit. Taking a risk in Holland Casino Scheveningen or betting on a horse at Duindigt Race Course is always exciting.
1) National Sea Life Scheveningen
Discover the world beneath the waves of the North Sea which is brimming with amazing creatures including sharks, wrasses, rays and jellyfish. Walk through the eight-metre long tunnel and experience a sensation of walking on the seabed. Do not miss the underwater observatory and the Tropical Reef Adventure with its wonderful coral reef either.
2)Duinrell Attraction Park
Duinrell Attraction Park offers splashing recreation for the whole family. Hurl yourself down terrifying bobsleigh tracks, spin down the splashing Waterspin and roll along the Frogs' roller coaster. The indoor tropical Tikibad is also an experience in itself. This swirling water world offers splashing Attractions for young and old.
3) Miniature City Madurodam.
All of Holland in just one town!
Behind two typically Dutch dykes lies the world-famous miniature city Madurodam, a perfect place to get to know all the fascinating aspects of the Netherlands. Here you will find all those famous Dutch feats rebuilt down to the tiniest detail on a scale of 1:25. Windmills are turning, round trip boats are sailing the canals, a fire is extinguished in the harbour, modern trains are running to and from the stations. There is also a great deal to do in winter. But Madurodam is more. At dusk, the town is lit like a fairy-tale by more than 50,000 lights. The two restaurants, the playground, shop and lighthouse picnic area complete the park. -
More than anything The Hague...
More than anything The Hague is a people's city, which accounts for the large number of ( international ) school, 600 café's, bars and restaurants, various religious institutions and countless sporting facilities. It is a 'green' city as well, with plenty of parks, lawns and green areas. The North Sea coast is right on the city's doorstep. The beach attracts both residents and visitors alike, as do the many theaters and annual events such as the famous North Sea Jazz Festival.

The bioscience industry is one of the most innovative and important economic drivers in the United States, accounting for over 1.6 million jobs.
Kimball Thomson, President & CEO of BioUtah discusses his organization and what makes Utah a good place for innovative industry growth.
The 2012 BIO International Convention featured a broad array of top-level speakers, addressing critical global challenges and the top issues in biotechnology. Hosted by the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), the event drew 16,505 industry leaders from 65 countries.
Bioscience economic development in a nation as large and diverse as the United States is as varied as the country itself. A complex array of factors influence the allocation of resources and the nature of bioscience industry development.
At a time when the global economy struggles to recover from a severe recession and uncertainty remains regarding future economic growth, bioscience industry development is generating significant attention both globally and at home.
Bob Coughlin discusses the elements of supportive bioscience industry climates and looks ahead to the 2012 BIO International Convention.
State governments in 2011 continued to see regional economic growth in the life sciences industry and in 2012 will increasingly focus attention on technology transfer and venture funding as mechanisms to increase private sector innovation related activities within their jurisdictions. Realizing that entrepreneurship is a key ingredient in economic development, states and localities are undertaking the support of programs that assist high technology businesses, and that capitalize on state regional presence of universities and federal laboratories.
The 2011 BIO International Convention brought together over 15,000 leaders from industry, government and academia who are working to solve some of the sector's biggest challenges. We were honored to host governors from 11 U.S. states as they promote their bioscience economic development endeavors.
New Orleans shows the signs of a city reborn from the destruction brought on by Hurricane Katrina. The changes in the city's infrastructure and building projects have certainly been among them. The city reached a milestone its renaissance when the New Orleans BioInnovation Center (NOBIC) opened for business.
In this global economy, nearly every competitor has access to big breakthroughs in technology and to the equipment and capital to produce standardized products, but those regions that possess the human capital, with its insights, competencies, and experience will have the competitive advantage.
Pete Pellerito discusses what is being done to provide the workforce for this broad and growing industry.
Tracy Cooley talks to Renee Winsky about biotech in Maryland and the upcoming BIO International Convention in Washington, DC.
Despite the fact that U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack believes that the regulation of genetically engineered agricultural products must be science-based, and that he has "no doubts about the safety of the products this system has approved and will continue to approve," some state legislatures are considering bills requiring labeling for biotech-derived food. These bills defy existing science-based regulation and are wholly unnecessary.
You might have heard that the Prince of Wales, just days after hosting the Royal Wedding, paid us a visit here in Washington. Prince Charles, a long-time organic food advocate and self-described environmentalist, was here to speak at a Washington Post symposium on the Future of Food.
