Maxius Beyond Straight 2 oz.
The Maxius Beyond Straight is a humidity resistant temporary straightener that allows you to go straight, reduce frizz and relax curls.

New Product To Play With
Okay, so I have used the Maxius Beyond Straight once and it really got my hair straight. I could have stopped after blow drying but I decided to flat iron too. To give this product a fair rating, I'll have to try this product again because my hair is super thick and full and I was a bit heavy handed because I didn't think it would work. It worked to straighten my hair but my hair feels stiff, not bouncy and not flowing. I think this may be because I was too heavy handed so I'm willing to try this product again just using a little bit and trusting the product. Overall, I can't believe a product actually did what it said it could do for my hair type (very coarse), I mean, my edges are even laid, and I know many of you know what I mean. Well, on to next time.

Great Product!
I used this very liberally before I blow dried my hair. It made my hair very shiny and very straight. The only downside is that it didn't leave my hair very soft (although the shine makes it looks as if it were soft). It's texture was sort of like a light hairspray, but it did the trick. It may be that way because I used too much. I have very thick hair, so I used about two handfuls. It's raining today and my hair is still straight. Normally it would frizz up before I even left the house. Such an excellent product, I'm so happy to have found it. Definitely worth the money!!

Say It Ain't So! I've Beat The South Georgia Humidity!
I have red, naturally curly hair (banana curls; hair down to my shoulder blades when straight), and it has been quite a task to find a product that will keep my hair straight in 88% humidity or higher. Maxius did the trick!
I must admit that the first few times I used the product I wasn't using enough, so it didn't give me the results that I anticipated. I was only used about a quarter sized handful to two handfuls throughout my hair when wet. Using a blow dryer has never worked out well for me either; I just don't use them very often (matter of the fact, I don't even own my own blow dryer). Whenever I try a blow dryer it makes my hair SUPER frizzy and it wasn't keeping my hair straight. So, Last night I used globs of Maxius in my hair (about 3 or 4 half dollar sized globs) while it was right-out-of-the-shower-wet. I didn't have time for my hair to COMPLETELY dry naturally, but I could see non-frizzy curls forming. When I straightened my hair it came out stick straight, lasted through the rain, and I woke up to VERY straight hair (only a few waves where it falls over my shoulders). I would highly recommend this product. Don't give up after your first use! You might just need to use a little more product and a process that works for you as far as drying and straightening.

Must Have For Curlies!
I live in humid south Florida and after washing my hair I would put this on my damp locks, blow dry my hair (it works as a heat protectant for blow drying), apply a thicker heat protectant and finish flat ironing my hair. Trust me it works the one day I decided not to use it (i wanted to see if it was really working or if it was the fact that I had gotten a BKT) I had frizz all over my hair. It might seem a little pricy but it last a long time so to me it was worth it.Just make sure you coat your hair with it (not too much though) and you'll be good to go. On very high humidity days go with a little extra, trust me.

It Works--even Florida Or Ny In August
Only product I have found that doesn't weigh hair down, and really does what it says it will. It works with the blow dryer, but does work best with the flat iron. For me Maxiglide is easiest flat iron to manage, since you don't have to use separate comb as you go. These two products together give me a smooth, sleek style that lasts outdoors.

Beyond Straight Is Great
I have been using Beyond Straight for the past 4 years. It really is a good product and does help you in high humidity.

Didn't Do What It Claimed To Do
I have thick wavy hair which naturally straightens out a bit after it has dried. I was hoping to speed up the process and help it straighten out more with this product. However, not only did this product NOT help with that, it also left my hair sticky and tangled up. Didn't like this at all!

Loving Beyond Either Way!
I initially bought this product 7-8 years ago to straighten my hair (after seeing the ad on a t.v. shopping channel). My hair is a frizzy curly, not smooth curls but the zig zag kind (Hispanic descent) and with humidity it just frizzes out. (riding Harleys wearing helmets long straight hair works out best) I loved the Beyond Straight so much that the days I decided not to use the flat iron I still used it, and it made my curls curly, not frizz zig-zag curled. I ended up cutting my hair short later on, I still used the Beyond Straight as a gel, I still love it, so curly or straight, long or short, the gel is exceptional for me. I haven't used anything else in my hair in all these years. It's truly worth a try!

A Miracle!
I spent a week in New Orleans, Louisiana the last week of July and used this product. The humidity was unbelievable; everything was wet. Normally, my hair would be wavy and frizzy and awful, but it was straight the entire time. Even after going out in the rain and humidity. I had been using Alterna Hemp straightening balm which worked OK, but had read the rave reviews about Maxius Beyond Straight and was worried about the extreme humidity on my trip so spent the money on this even though I have a new bottle of Alterna Hemp straightening balm. It was worth every penny and I am going to buy more. I have never used any product that worked this well to straighten my hair and keep it that way without frizz.

Great Product
I have a think curly hair. I was having problem fixing my hair until one day I was searching online and found this product. Decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. With this product my hair got straight instantly and now i am fixing my hair in only 10 minutes (knowing that i have a long hair, almost before the hip ) I would give this product 100% or 5 stars but the only problem that it make my hair little bit dry not as soft as it should be .. but straight. I recommend it to a friend

The pain and other symptoms associated with chronic exertional compartment syndrome may be characterized by:
Pain due to chronic exertional compartment syndrome typically follows this pattern:
Taking a complete break from exercise or performing only low-impact activity may relieve your symptoms, but usually only temporarily. Once you take up running again, for instance, those familiar symptoms usually come back.
If you experience unusual pain, swelling, weakness, loss of sensation, or soreness related to exercise or sports activities, talk to your doctor immediately, because these symptoms may be associated with conditions that require emergency medical treatment. Don't try to exercise through the pain, as that may lead to permanent muscle or nerve damage — and jeopardize continued participation in your favorite sports.
Sometimes chronic exertional compartment syndrome is mistaken for shin splints, a more common cause of leg pain in young people who do lots of vigorous weight-bearing activity, such as running. If you think you have shin splints but they don't get better with self-care, talk to your doctor.

Online printing Aperture vs. Lightroom
So I've been using Aperture since 1.0 but am seriously contemplating jumping to Lightroom given Apple's lack of support recently on not just Aperture but all their software. From what I've read, the functionality seems pretty similar so that shouldn't be a problem. One thing I could see myself missing though is the integration of online printing. I've been quite pleased with the results whenever I've gotten photos through Apple, though the last time it took over a month to receive my order and I had to print them elsewhere. The photo books are great though. I see that there's a Blurb plug-in for Lightroom. I've gotten a book from Blurb before, but the quality just wasn't the same as through Apple.
So the question is, what online printing services do others use that give a good balance between quality and cost for books, prints, whatever? |

Each game has simple instructions and easy controls which means its easy for a child to play. As they go they earn coins to spend in the shop on stickers to add to the scenes they can create:
A lovely game for Peppa Pig fans and one that is very simple. Slightly more than some games at £3.99 but it would get plenty of play.

History tells us Andrew Wiggins won't live up to the hype
(Photo Courtesy: USA Today Sports Images)
As you've probably heard by now, Andrew Wiggins is a Kansas Jayhawk. On Tuesday, the No. 1 basketball player in the country, who some say is the best high school hoopster since LeBron James, elected to become a Jayhawk, choosing the school over offers from Kentucky, Florida State, North Carolina, Nike and Reebok.
Ok, so I'm obviously kidding about the last two, but Tuesday did wrap up one of the wildest recruitments in recent college basketball history, one which seemingly started in the Mesozoic era and ended with everyone in the college basketball world left clueless as to which school Wiggins would choose. In the process it turned John Calipari in a rumbling, stumbling tweeting mess on Tuesday morning, and even led Bill Self to say afterward, "we never had any idea which way he was leading."
And really, doesn't that last sentence tell you how crazy these last few months have been? When the best recruiter in the history of college basketball is forced to sell the virtues of his program through social media, and the coach who ultimately signed the same kid had no idea he was coming, well, that's when you know things got weird.
They certainly did get weird with Andrew Wiggins.

58 On Cron Motel in association with Franz Josef Wildlife Centre invite you to watch 'On Cron's Progress.
On Cron
Our 58th Chick hatched since opening, named for Anne and Richard at 58 on Cron Motel for their fantastic ongoing support!
On Crons egg was rescued from the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary on October 19th 2012. The egg weighed 377.5g on arrival and the embryo inside was estimated to be 61 days through the 78 day incubation period. On Crons egg was carefully washed in a disinfectant solution before being transferred to one of our warm, safe incubators. On Crons egg was closely monitored by our Kiwi Rangers throughout the remaining 17 days of incubation at the WCWC. On Cron hatched at 10.30am on Saturday 3rd November and was the 10th Rowi kiwi to hatch for the 2012/13 breeding season. On Cron has a beautiful crown of white feathers on its forehead! On Cron took a total of 6 days to hatch and weighed a healthy 313.4 grams. We kept On Cron cozy and warm in one of the incubators for the first two days while On Cron learnt to crouch and shuffle. Since then, On Cron has grown to become a quiet, alert and inquisitive chick and has been busy exploring the brooder and snuffling around in the soil. On Cron will stay in a brooder at the WCWC until one month of age before moving out to one of the special pre-release pens built by the Department of Conservation. Once On Cron has adapted to the outdoor environment, and is foraging well for food, On Cron will be transferred to Motuara Island, a predator free island in the Marlborough Sounds. On Cron will return to the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary once adapted to life in the real world. By this time On Cron will be able to fend off the kiwis main predator the stoat! Hopefully in the future we will start to see and hear some of On Crons offspring out in the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary.

Follow "On Cron's" Progress,
Check here for updated photo's between now and On Cron's release into the forest
"Hello to those interested in 'On Crons' progress"
I received an email from Kim @WCWC with the following message and photo:
Check out our new flavoured ice cream! Would you like one scoop or two?!
Took this photo this morning when we were weighing On Cron, what a little sweetie!
On Cron did the most spectacular grown up kiwi call when s/he was in bed this morning, it stopped Bridget, Katie and I in our tracks! very loud, and shrill. When the chicks are this young they normally only make little squeaky chicks noises, this is the first time I've ever heard a chick do that in the brooder room.
On Cron at weigh in 29th November 2012.
I had visited 'On Cron' in person, to check her progress she is beautiful and it was worth every minute. Then to get the email from Kim showing her on the scales was a great surprise. Kim has promised to give a more substantial report soon. Note the pictures are contributed by the West Coast Wildlife Centre.
Up date from Kim (Kiwi Ranger) 2 December 2012
' On Cron '
Our 58th Chick hatched since opening, named for Anne and Richard at 58 on Cron Motel for their fantastic ongoing support!
The time has come for On Cron to move on from the West Coast Wildlife Centre. On Cron has been a fantastic chick to raise and has grown into a feisty kiwi chick. On Cron started eating food perfectly at 6 days old and has grown well ever since! On Cron is currently 27 days old, weighs 454g and eats 120g of food a night! Amazingly, On Cron seems to have already found its grown up voice! A couple of days ago the Kiwi Rangers were lucky enough to be in the brooder Room when On Cron lit rip a deafeningly loud shrill whistle call just like a grown up! Although the call is one way to distinguish between genders in adult kiwi, On Crons call was all over the place so we still do not know if On Cron is a male or a female. A DNA test taken from some pin feathers will finally reveal On Crons gender.
We have been preparing On Cron for release. On Cron loves foraging for the juicy, wiggly mealworms we have recently been adding to the brooder each night and On Cron has also just been micro-chipped so On Cron can easily be identified later on in life.
On 30th November 2012 On Cron was picked up by the Department of Conservation Rangers and transferred to the pre-release pens. On Cron will spend a month or so in the pens getting used to life outside before being released on to Motuara Island, a predator free island in the Marlborough Sounds. On Cron will have a radio transmitter attached to the leg so On Cron can easily be monitored out in the forest. Once On Cron has grown big and strong, and is over 1kg in weight (this can take 12 months or more), On Cron will be released back into the Rowi Kiwi Sanctuary where he/she will hopefully start breeding by 4-5 years old and live a long and happy life!

Siouxland Youth Orchestras to perform in longtime conductor's farewell concert
The Siouxland Youth Orchestras will perform a concert at 7 p.m., Sunday, April 28, in the East High School Auditorium, 5011 Mayhew Ave. It will be conductor Joseph Shufro's farewell concert after 22 years of conducting the Siouxland Youth Symphony.
The concert is free and open to the public. It is taking place at East High School because Morningside College is renovating Eppley Auditorium.
The Siouxland Youth Symphony, consisting of high school and college students, is the advanced-level ensemble in the youth orchestras program. Its program for the concert will feature composers ranging Rossini to Stravinsky; soloists Brandy Trucke, oboe, and Robert Hwang, violin; and a Brahms "Romanze" for piano arranged for orchestra by Morningside College student Nicole Guericke. This ensemble is directed by Shufro, associate professor of music at Morningside.
The Siouxland Philharmonia, the intermediate-level orchestra, will play arrangements of Mozart's "Magic Flute Overture" and the finale from "Beethoven's Fifth." It also will feature soloist Jackie Toben in "Violin Concerto in A Minor" by Bach. The ensemble is directed by Eleanor May-Patterson, orchestra director at East High School and adjunct instructor of violin and viola at Morningside College.
The Siouxland Symphonette, the elementary-level string ensemble, will perform several selections, including "Rounds for Strings" by Kathleen Swayze. That ensemble is directed by Heather Schmedinghoff, a specialist in educating young string players.

Commando Whisper Weight Retro Full Slip WFS01This product is no longer available. Please consider one of the Customer-Recommended Replacements above, or try a new search.
This may look like the slip your mama wore, but it definitely is not. The front and back necklines are laser-cut so there's not as much bulk as in older slips, the fabric is sleeker and silkier, and lies flat under body-conscious knits. The tulip-patterned stretch lace at the bottom is really pretty. Made of nylon/spandex.

I've heard about this, but not yet seen it.
The Tattered Cover Bookstore has three locations in the Denver area, and this one isn't very convenient to me, but I might just have to take the trip. TC is dedicated to readers and very author-friendly. It's easily one of the best bookstores in America today.
Here is what one independent bookstore is doing to stay viable in a wildly changing environment:
CR: Beyond Reach by Karin Slaughter.
It's all better with friends.

Historical Importance of the Great Depression: The Great Depression, an immense tragedy that placed millions of Americans out of work, was the beginning of government involvement in the economy and in society as a whole.
Dates: 1929 -- early 1940s
Overview of the Great Depression:
The Stock Market Crash
After nearly a decade of optimism and prosperity, the United States was thrown into despair on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, the day the stock market crashed and the official beginning of the Great Depression. As stock prices plummeted with no hope of recovery, panic struck. Masses and masses of people tried to sell their stock, but no one was buying. The stock market, which had appeared to be the surest way to become rich, quickly became the path to bankruptcy.
And yet, the Stock Market Crash was just the beginning. Since many banks had also invested large portions of their clients' savings in the stock market, these banks were forced to close when the stock market crashed. Seeing a few banks close caused another panic across the country. Afraid they would lose their own savings, people rushed to banks that were still open to withdraw their money. This massive withdrawal of cash caused additional banks to close. Since there was no way for a bank's clients to recover any of their savings once the bank had closed, those who didn't reach the bank in time also became bankrupt.
Businesses and industry were also affected. Having lost much of their own capital in either the Stock Market Crash or the bank closures, many businesses started cutting back their workers' hours or wages. In turn, consumers began to curb their spending, refraining from purchasing such things as luxury goods. This lack of consumer spending caused additional businesses to cut back wages or, more drastically, to lay off some of their workers. Some businesses couldn't stay open even with these cuts and soon closed their doors, leaving all their workers unemployed.
The Dust Bowl
In previous depressions, farmers were usually safe from the severe effects of a depression because they could at least feed themselves. Unfortunately, during the Great Depression, the Great Plains were hit hard with both a drought and horrendous dust storms, creating what became known as the Dust Bowl.
Years and years of overgrazing combined with the effects of a drought caused the grass to disappear. With just topsoil exposed, high winds picked up the loose dirt and whirled it for miles. The dust storms destroyed everything in their paths, leaving farmers without their crops.
Small farmers were hit especially hard. Even before the dust storms hit, the invention of the tractor drastically cut the need for manpower on farms. These small farmers were usually already in debt, borrowing money for seed and paying it back when their crops came in. When the dust storms damaged the crops, not only could the small farmer not feed himself and his family, he could not pay back his debt. Banks would then foreclose on the small farms and the farmer's family would be both homeless and unemployed.
Riding the Rails
During the Great Depression, millions of people were out of work across the United States. Unable to find another job locally, many unemployed people hit the road, traveling from place to place, hoping to find some work. A few of these people had cars, but most hitchhiked or "rode the rails."
A large portion of the people who rode the rails were teenagers, but there were also older men, women, and entire families who traveled in this manner. They would board freight trains and crisscross the country, hoping to find a job in one of the towns along the way.
When there was a job opening, there were often literally a thousand people applying for the same job. Those who weren't lucky enough to get the job would perhaps stay in a shantytown (known as "Hoovervilles") outside of town. Housing in the shantytown was built out of any material that could be found freely, like driftwood, cardboard, or even newspapers.
The farmers who had lost their homes and land usually headed west to California, where they heard rumors of agricultural jobs. Unfortunately, although there was some seasonal work, the conditions for these families were transient and hostile. Since many of these farmers came from Oklahoma and Arkansas, they were called the derogatory names of "Okies" and "Arkies." (The stories of these migrants to California were immortalized in the fictional book, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.)
Roosevelt and the New Deal
The U.S. economy broke down and entered the Great Depression during the presidency of Herbert Hoover. Although President Hoover repeatedly spoke of optimism, the people blamed him for the Great Depression. Just as the shantytowns were named Hoovervilles after him, newspapers became known as "Hoover blankets," pockets of pants turned inside out (to show they were empty) were called "Hoover flags," and broken-down cars pulled by horses were known as "Hoover wagons."
During the 1932 presidential election, Hoover did not stand a chance at reelection and Franklin D. Roosevelt won in a landslide. People of the United States had high hopes that President Roosevelt would be able to solve all their woes. As soon as Roosevelt took office, he closed all the banks and only let them reopen once they were stabilized. Next, Roosevelt began to establish programs that became known as the New Deal.
These New Deal programs were most commonly known by their initials, which reminded some people of alphabet soup. Some of these programs were aimed at helping farmers, like the AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Administration). While other programs, such as the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) and the WPA (Works Progress Administration), attempted to help curb unemployment by hiring people for various projects.
The End of the Great Depression
To many at the time, President Roosevelt was a hero. They believed that he cared deeply for the common man and that he was doing his best to end the Great Depression. Looking back, however, it is uncertain as to how much Roosevelt's New Deal programs helped to end the Great Depression. By all accounts, the New Deal programs eased the hardships of the Great Depression; however, the U.S. economy was still extremely bad by the end of the 1930s.
The major turn-around for the U.S. economy occurred after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into World War II. Once the U.S. was involved in the war, both people and industry became essential to the war effort. Weapons, artillery, ships, and airplanes were needed quickly. Men were trained to become soldiers and the women were kept on the homefront to keep the factories going. Food needed to be grown for both the homefront and to send overseas.
It was ultimately the entrance of the U.S. into World War II that ended the Great Depression in the United States.

Dubbed a "powerhouse of comedy" by the Austin Chronicle, The New Movement unleashes a dizzying number of comedy shows that belie the institution's young age. Founded in 2009 by improvisers Chris Trew and Tami Nelson, the theater and conservatory has already established itself in two cities, training fledgling performers in the art of the extemporaneous by inspiring them to take comedic risks on stage, whether it's connecting emotionally with a character or performing actual surgery. Whether or not the performers are costumed or bearing props, they aim to create a fully realized world on stage through grounded situations and elegant but always creative transitions between scenes.
Austin Children's Theater's executive director, Talena Martinez, knows how to inspire kids: not only do her national credits include youth productions of Jekyll & Hyde and Les Misérables, she has also staged Shakespearean and musical pieces at the Scotland Fringe Festival. Together, Talena and her talented staff of artists nurture the natural talents of kids of all abilities who are eager to explore musical, dramatic, and European theater.
Programs—which range from the intensive Conservatory of Theater to a full roster of summer camps—can help impart a variety of skills, including increased self-esteem, a healthier body image, and stronger performance abilities of future Tony Award winners while ensuring inspirational fodder for acceptance speeches.
With full-scale plays and musical productions, kidsActing turns the spotlight on young thespians. Founder Dede Clark and her troupe of budding actors reprise kidsActing's popular 1991 musical comedy, in which a young monster from the under-the-bed dimension stumbles into the human world. Original songs by Willie Nelson, the Austin Lounge Lizards, and other Texas performers punctuate the coming-of-age action that, unlike United Nations peace talks between Scotland and Loch Ness, ends in a reconciliation between monsters and humans.

There seems to be some angst regarding Audiojungle authors requesting Videohive authors using their tracks.
Is it possible to include another tab on a Videohive portfolio item, after the comments tab which is labelled something like "Audiojungle Collaborations".
In this tab Audiojungle users could write/sync chosen songs to the VH item and post it there, prospective buyers could then view the item with a range of different songs (I assume that for very popular VH items many AJ authors would offer their songs).
This somewhat levels the playing field in relation to AJ and VH authors.
Obviously there would need to be some rules, such as: 1. An AJ author can only submit one synched song for each VH item. 2. The synched song MAY have to be submitted for review. (Obviously this increases the workload of reviewers) 3. 'Insert extra rules here'....
This would also remove the need for AJ users to PM VH users about using their material. VH authors could even chose the version they like the best to feature on their item or profile page, and Viceversa.
- Author had a Free File of the Month
- Sold between 1 000 and 5 000 dollars
- Exclusive Author
- Has been a member for 1-2 years
- Bought between 100 and 499 items
- Referred between 1 and 9 users
- Contributed a Blog Post
- Contributed a Tutorial to a Tuts+ Site
- Repeatedly Helped protect Envato Marketplaces against copyright violations
Great idea
Good idea, Love it!
Its a great idea, and it would be awesome to have such system in place. Whoever is buying the VH item would have a very handy list of suggestions ready to skimm through to buy his music in no time. Again, awesome!
And if not they should at least allow 5 tracks for each VH item, not one
I know its all science fiction, but who knows, maybe Envato takes notes on this thread :))
MarkoRadak said
Even though I'm 7 months late
but i also suspect that at a certain point this could be similar to spamming VH authors and no more tracks would get approved.
i suggest, instead:
- any AJ author could link one single song to a single VH project
- a AJ author get some "points" given by either sales or items approved and can spend these points to link 1 song to 1 VH project. maybe 10 songs = 1 video link? 10 sales = 1 video link?
- something based on followers? i can link my songs only to VH authors who follows me?
Great idea, distillerystudio!

[ 8/10 ]
This park is a great option if Bryce is full. There are many tent sites and laundry facilities. Also offers tee-pees. Ground fires are allowed.
Junction, Texas
Morgan Shady RV Park
[ 1/10 ]
Scenery at the park was nice, but the management ruined our camping experience. We were having dinner in town after setting up camp and received a phone call from the grouchy manager. Apparently we had mistakenly set up camp in the wrong site. To our surprise, the manager screamed at us over the phone and said that "anyone who can't read the signs (not all had signs and it was confusing) did not deserve to camp at her site". This woman's behavior was uncalled for and made it very difficult for us to enjoy our vacation. The site was also very overpriced. We recommend that you skip this place.

If they set up new transmitter to each of these towns and surrounding areas, terrestrial coverage would be increased to maybe 85% of the population. Given the eight areas about to get the initial launch gets 75% it is not a very cost effective exercise to set up eight more for a paltry 10% gain.
But wrt your first point, yes, NZ is getting are more advanced system, using MPEG4 as opposed to our MPEG2, so they can fit twice as many channels in a mux.

Is analog going to be phased out throughout NZ ?
Does this mean that places like Westcoast Sth Island ,are unlikely to ever get terestrial HD due to low popoulation and will need to go to Freeview Satalite on SD ?
Posted 11 April 2008 - 06:42 AM
That said the satellite service is a good one, all the channels are in 16:9 (except Stratos and Cue), all with decent (>5Mb/s, typically 6-8Mb/s) bit rates, I think for folk who live out in the remote areas this step into the digital world alone is enough for most.
Posted 11 April 2008 - 11:49 AM
The D1 NZ Spot beam is pretty grunty and rain fade is minimal
They could have made more efficent use with Mpeg4 and a few HD channels added
but the TEST service had been up on B1 for so long and there were a considerble
number of STBs already in use .
Yes a second transponder could be added later !! provided
some other network hasnt reserved the remaining empty ones

Foxtel and Austar use Optus C1 at 156E, again due to the antenna configurations on C1 Foxtel/Austar transmissions cannot be readily seen in Aus.

On our way home just be for dusk June 20 2009, we noticed a hot air balloon flying very low over a residential area of Marion. We (The Steffen Family) stopped to watch, along with may others that happened to be driving in the area. It looked like it was coming down for a landing, so I drove to the only place we could think of that it would be able to land; The Marion Pool Parking Lot. We got it right so here is the photo my wife Janet took with our cell phone (sorry we didn't have a good camera with us). Our two children (Samantha & Allison) loved watching the hot air balloon land.

Abstract: | Purpose – In this article, we examine the nature and the extent of corporate environmental and climate change disclosures in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach – For this purpose, we have undertaken a content analysis of annual reports related to the year 2008 and websites of the 100 largest companies (according to market capitalization) listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. We have used 24 content analysis categories to capture the relevant disclosures related to climate change and other environmental issues. Findings – Key findings of our analysis suggest that the level of environmental and climate change disclosures is very low in Bangladesh. Although 91% of companies made disclosures in at least one category, most companies disclosed information only on the "energy usage" category, which is a mandatory requirement. Even fewer companies made disclosures in the specific areas of climate change. No disclosure was made in the significant categories such as GHG emissions. The second most popular category related to climate change was adaptation measures. Among the other environmental disclosures, a significant finding is that only 5% of (website 6%) companies disclosed that they had an effluent treatment plant. Closer examination of the nature of disclosures suggests that most of the disclosures are positive and descriptive in nature. Originality/value – As far as we are aware, this is the first study of its kind in Bangladesh which systematically examines corporate climate change disclosures as a particular focus of research. |

Travelers says Rose plans to play in Connecticut
Justin Rose, left, of England, celebrates with his wife Kate after winning the U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion Golf Club, Sunday, June 16, 2013, in Ardmore, Pa. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) |
CROMWELL — The Travelers Championship held its opening ceremony on Monday morning, marking the 61st straight year the PGA Tour has visited greater Hartford and the seventh under its current name.
Andy Bessette, the chief administrative officer and executive vice president of the insurance giant, said the company is in negotiations to remain the title sponsor of the Connecticut PGA stop, and expects to finalize a deal before the end of this summer.
"As long they want us, we're going to figure out how to make this work, and get this done before September 30th," Bessette said.
The company took over the title sponsorship in 2006, after the tournament had been eliminated from the 2007 PGA schedule because of a lack of a sponsor.
The TPC River Highlands was set to become a Champions Tour stop, when another tournament dropped out of the PGA schedule, opening a window for Hartford. Travelers agreed to help get the event back in the PGA mix, and Bessette said it turned out to be a great move for the company and the region.
"We're only one of five community-based sponsors on the Tour, five out of 45," he said. "So to be a hometown sponsor and do good for the community, give back to charity, it's critical."
Travelers also has committed to fund a special program that the tournament and PGA plan to run in Newtown, Conn., site of the December massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, Grube and Bessette said.
The tournament will provide golf lessons in the town's elementary schools and through summer camps as part of the First Tee program, a youth development organization designed to teach values such as honesty and integrity through the sport.
"There were a lot of ideas on the table," Grube said. "This was something the town told us would help in healing process. We're doing some other things, but the town has asked that we keep those off the radar."

Vanderbilt's Policy on Technology and Literary and Artistic Works
Click here to download a PDF of the Technology Policy, or click a section below to view policy details.
Section A
It is the purpose of this Policy to encourage, support, and reward scientific research and scholarship, and to recognize the rights and interests of the creator, author, inventor, or innovator (Inventor or Creator), the public, the sponsor, and the University. The University's commitment to teaching and research is primary and this Policy does not diminish the right and obligation of faculty members to disseminate research results for scholarly purposes, which is considered by the University to take precedence over the commercialization of Technology and Literary and Artistic Works. This Policy is intended to be consistent with the University's commitment to academic freedom, faculty involvement in policy development, and the Policy Guidelines for Sponsored Research as provided in the Faculty Manual. In addition, it is intended that application of this Policy will take into consideration principles of open and full disclosure, overall equity, fairness to the Inventor or Creator and the University, the need for understanding and goodwill among the parties who have an interest in Technology or Literary and Artistic Works, and reasonableness in the negotiation of licensing agreements.
An In-Depth Review of the Vanderbilt University Patent Policy and Recommendations for Its Replacement by a Policy on Technology and Literary and Artistic Works, a report prepared by the Patent Review Committee, dated January 1993 (Second Revised Edition), contains the history of this Policy and provides general principles and hypothetical examples. Issues not directly addressed in this Policy, including disagreements concerning its application or interpretation, will be addressed and resolved consistent with these general principles and hypothetical examples.
Section B
Literary and Artistic Works
All rights in scholarly books, articles and other publications, artistic, literary, film, tape, and musical works ("Literary and Artistic Works") are granted to the faculty, staff, and students who are the authors. Literary and Artistic Works includes texts that have been stored on computer media, but excludes computer programs or computer software or databases that are neither accessory to nor an electronic expression of a scholarly text. All rights in non-scholarly Literary and Artistic Works created with the use of University funds or facilities, or that capitalize on an affiliation with the University, are granted to the University and income distribution shall be handled in the same manner as Technology. Commercial use of the University's name and marks requires prior University approval.
All rights in Technology created by Vanderbilt faculty members, staff members, or students with the use of University facilities or funds administered by the University are granted to the University, with income to be distributed in accordance with this Policy. The terms "Inventions, Discoveries, and Other Innovations" and "Technology" include tangible or intangible inventions, in the patent sense, whether or not reduced to practice, and tangible research results whether or not patentable or copyrightable. These research results include, for example, computer programs, integrated circuit designs, industrial designs, databases, technical drawings, biogenic materials, and other technical creations. Faculty members working with students on research projects must inform those students in advance of the terms of this Policy and of any burdens of nondisclosure or confidentiality deemed necessary by the faculty member to protect resulting Technology.
All rights in Technology created by Vanderbilt faculty members, staff members, or students without the use of University facilities or funds administered by the University, but which fall within the Inventor's or Creator's scope of employment, are granted to the University, with income to be distributed in accordance with this Policy, subject to the following two (2) exceptions in which the University generally will assert no ownership rights or interests:
- Technology assigned to an outside entity by a faculty member under a consulting agreement that is consistent with University and School policies, including Conflicts of Interest policies, and that was disclosed in writing to the faculty member's Dean and Chair in advance of execution of the agreement by the faculty member.
- Technology created pursuant to independent research or other outside activity that is consistent with University and School policies, including Conflicts of Interest policies, and that was disclosed in writing to the faculty member's Dean and Chair at the beginning phase of this research or activity. Acknowledgment in writing is to be obtained from the faculty member's Dean and Chair.
For purposes of this Policy, factors considered in determining the scope of a faculty member's employment normally would include the relationship of the Technology to that faculty member's recent teaching, research and other University activities, as well as activities stipulated in any appointment contract. Disagreements concerning ownership and other matters regarding this Policy can be appealed to the Technology Transfer Committee in accordance with this Policy.
For exceptions (1) and (2) above (i.e. consulting and independent research), it is the responsibility of the faculty member to disclose and resolve in advance with the Dean and Chair any potential conflict of interest or overlap in claims of ownership of Technology. If no potential conflict of interest or overlap in claims to Technology is, or reasonably should be, apparent, the faculty member need only include in the disclosure the name of the company, if any, for whom the work is being done, the subject area of the work, the expected level of effort, and a statement that no potential conflict or overlap exists in claims of ownership of Technology. In order to maintain a spirit of collegiality, Inventors or Creators have the responsibility for full and open disclosure to the Dean and Chair concerning all matters relating to the commercialization of Technology in which the University has an interest. In the Medical Center, such disclosures must be copied to the appropriate officer in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs.
Works-for-Hire and Employee Inventions
This Policy does not apply to works-for-hire or employee inventions that are created as a specific requirement of University employment or as an assigned University duty. All rights in these works are owned by the University with no right or interest vesting in the Inventor or Creator.
Section C
The Chancellor of the University shall be responsible for matters of policy relating to Technology Transfer and affecting the University's relations with Inventors or Creators, governments, private research sponsors, industry, and the public. The Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization shall be responsible for administration of this Policy, including the evaluation of patentability or other forms of protection, the filing of patents, licensing activities, and pursuit of infringement actions, consistent with the terms of this Policy. These responsibilities are carried out in coordination with the Provost, the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, and the Office of General Counsel.
Technology Review Committee
A Technology Review Committee shall be appointed by the Chancellor with nominations for faculty positions being made by the Consultative Committee of the Faculty Senate. The Technology Review Committee ("Committee") shall be chaired by a faculty member and the majority of members will be faculty members without administrative appointments. The Committee shall review and monitor the activities of the Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization on matters relating to the administration of this Policy. The Committee shall be consulted in advance concerning any material changes to the Policy and shall participate fully in the future development of the Policy. In addition, the Committee shall approve recommended allocations between the Technology Promotion Fund and the Technology Research Fund.
The Committee serves as an appellate body advisory to the Chancellor in the event a disagreement occurs between Inventors or Creators or between Inventors or Creators and the University concerning the interpretation or application of this Policy. In cases in which the Committee is unable to resolve the disagreement between the parties, the Committee will forward its recommendation for a resolution to the Chancellor for final decision.
At the beginning of each academic year, the Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization will submit to the Committee, the Provost, and the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs an annual report of the patent and licensing activities of the preceding twelve (12) months, including an annual accounting statement of income and expenses from Technology in which the University has an interest and an accounting of income and disbursements of the Technology Promotion Fund and Technology Research Fund. Status reports will be provided at subsequent Committee meetings upon request of the Committee.
Technology created by Vanderbilt faculty members, staff members, or students with the use of University facilities or funds administered by the University, or within the Inventor's or Creator's scope of employment, shall be disclosed in writing to the Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization and sent to the Provost or Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. These disclosures will be maintained in strict confidence.
The Inventor or Creator will cooperate with the Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization in its protection of University interests in disclosed Technology including executing appropriate assignments to perfect legal rights. It is anticipated that the Inventor or Creator will be an active participant in the licensing process and will be consulted prior to licensing decisions.
Inventors or Creators having an interest in a potential licensee may request that the potential licensee be given the right of first negotiation, consistent with University policy on conflicts of interest and any other applicable School or departmental policies, and normally that request will be granted.
If the Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization, in coordination with the Provost or Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, determines not to file for a patent or actively pursue the transfer of particular Technology, the University will at the Inventor's or Creator's request assign ownership of the Technology to the Inventor consistent with any existing governmental rights. These decisions normally will be made within one year of the date of disclosure.
