- Nonthermal phase transitions in semiconductors induced by a femtosecond extreme ultraviolet laser pulse (2013)
- Part of Focus on High Energy Density Physics. In this paper, we present a novel theoretical approach, which allows the study of nonequilibrium dynamics of both electrons and atoms/ions within free-electron laser excited semiconductors at femtosecond time scales. The approach consists of the Monte-Carlo method treating photoabsorption, high-energy-electron and core-hole kinetics and relaxation processes. Low-energy electrons localized within the valence and conduction bands of the target are treated with a temperature equation, including source terms, defined by the exchange of energy and particles with high-energy electrons and atoms. We follow the atomic motion with the molecular dynamics method on the changing potential energy surface. The changes of the potential energy surface and of the electron band structure are calculated at each time step with the help of the tight-binding method. Such a combination of methods enables investigation of nonequilibrium structural changes within materials under extreme ultraviolet (XUV) femtosecond irradiation. Our analysis performed for diamond irradiated with an XUV femtosecond laser pulse predicts for the first time in this wavelength regime the nonthermal phase transition from diamond to graphite. Similar to the case of visible light irradiation, this transition takes place within a few tens of femtoseconds and is caused by changes of the interatomic potential induced by ultrafast electronic excitations. It thus occurs well before the heating stimulated by electron–phonon coupling starts to play a role. This allows us to conclude that this transition is nonthermal and represents a general mechanism of the response of solids to ultrafast electron excitations.
- How can we explore the onset of deconfinement by experiment? (2007)
- There is little doubt that Quantumchromodynamics (QCD) is the theory which describes strong interaction physics. Lattice gauge simulations of QCD predict that in the m,T plane there is a line where a transition from confined hadronic matter to deconfined quarks takes place. The transition is either a cross over (at low m) or of first order (at high m). It is the goal of the present and future heavy ion experiment at RHIC and FAIR to study this phase transition at different locations in the m,T plane and to explore the properties of the deconfined phase. It is the purpose of this contribution to discuss some of the observables which are considered as useful for this purpose.
- Brief report on 'Radiative Phi decays with derivative interactions' (2008)
- We study the line shapes of radiative $\phi$-decays with a direct coupling of the $\phi$ meson to the $f_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(980)$ scalar mesons. The latter couple via derivative interactions to $\pi_0 \pi_0$ and $\pi_0 \eta$, respectively. Although the kaon-loop mechanism is usually regarded as the dominant mechanism in radiative $\phi$ decays, here we test a different possibility: we set the kaon-loop to zero and we fit the theoretical curves to the data by retaining only the direct coupling. Remarkably, satisfactory fits can be achieved, mainly due to the effects of derivative interactions of scalar with pseudoscalar mesons.
- Recent results from the NA49 experiment (2005)
- Recent results of the NA49 collaboration are presented. Transverse mass spectra as well as total multiplicities of identified particles are discussed. The study of their evolution from AGS over SPS to the highest RHIC energy reveals a couple of interesting features. These include a sudden change in the energy dependence of the mt-spectra and of the yields of strange hadrons around 30A GeV. Additionally, new results on particle production at high-pt for Pb+Pb collsions at 158A GeV, as well as on the v2 of L, are discussed.
- Jet energy loss and Mach cones in pQCD vs. AdS/CFT (2008)
- We compare away-side hadron correlations with respect to tagged heavy quark jets computed within a weakly coupled pQCD and a strongly coupled AdS/CFT model. While both models feature similar far zone Mach and diffusion wakes, the far zone stress features are shown to be too weak to survive thermal broadening at hadron freeze-out. Observable away-side conical correlations are dominated by the jet-induced transverse flow in near zone "Neck" region, which differs significantly for both models. Unlike in AdS/CFT, the induced transverse flow in the Neck zone is too weak in pQCD to produce conical correlations after Cooper-Frye freeze-out. The observation of conical correlations violating Mach's law would favor the strongly-coupled AdS/CFT string drag dynamics, while their absence would favor weakly-coupled pQCD-based hydrodynamics.
- "Da lernt die Theorie laufen ..." - Reflexion und Ergebnisse einer problem- und handlungsorientierten Seminarreihe in der Physiklehrerausbildung (2004)
- Die Reform der Lehrerausbildung spielt in der aktuellen bildungspolitischen Diskussion eine wichtige Rolle. In der Auseinandersetzung um fachdidaktische Ausbildungsstandards und Kerncurricula werden von den Studierenden, neben fachlichen Fähigkeiten, Reflexions-, Kommunikations- und unterrichtsbezogene Handlungskompetenzen gefordert. In der Physik-lehrerausbildung der universitären Phase müssen Lernumgebungen zur Schulung dieser Kom-petenzen häufig erst noch geschaffen werden. Aus diesem Grund wird seit dem Wintersemester 2002/03 der Universität Frankfurt/M. eine Seminarreihe mit dem Charakter einer Lernwerkstatt angeboten, in der die Studierenden selbstorganisiert Unterrichtsmaterialien entwickeln. Von den Zielen, der Durchführung und den Ergebnissen dieses Projekts wird berichtet und ein Seminarkonzept in Kombination mit den schulpraktischen Studien vorgestellt.
- Nuclear curvature energy from threshold energies (1969)
- Theoretical studies in the shell model have led to the conclusion that the shape dependence of the liquid-drop part of the semi-empirical mass formula of the Weizsaecker-Bethe type should contain terms proportional to the volume, the surface, and the mean-total curvature of the surface of the drop, respectively. Now the surface tension beta_e and the curvature tension gamma_e are fitted to the experimentally known fission barriers of 35 nuclei. Furthermore, the parameters of the liquid-drop part of the mass formula are roughly fitted to the ground-state masses of about 600 beta-stable nuclei. For the elementary radius r_e, the value 1.123 fm ( determined by Elton ) is used. As a result, gamma_e should be in the range 6-8 MeV, with the value 6.8 MeV being the most probable, thus beta_e=17.85 MeV. For sufficiently large values of the curvature tension ( e.g. gamma_e=13.4 MeV ), a small double-hump fission barrier occurs in the region of Ra.
- Surface tension of nuclear matter (1966)
- The surface tension sigma and the surface density thickness t of nuclear matter have been calculated in the Fermi-gas model, the nucleons moving in a self-made shell model potential with a realistic slope and velocity dependence ( parameters alpha and beta ). One gets the experimental values for sigma and t with alpha and beta agreeing with earlier data.

Above picture from Pinterest. Quote from Benjamin Button.
Today I saw some pictures that my half-sister posted on Facebook. They were pictures of a part of my family that I don't know very well. The pictures included all four of my older half-siblings from my father's first marriage and photos of my father as a young man.
I only remember meeting my biological father a handful of times before he died. He died while I was in college and he and my mom divorced before I turned one. I have no memory of what he looked like as a young man, and I don't know much about who he was and what he was like in person. Seeing the pictures of him and his first family struck a nerve deep within me. It's painful. More

The Herald Bulletin
---- — We got a phone call the other day. A woman wanted to know if we would take her parent's dog who is around 4 years old. Both of her parents had recently passed and she said she simply couldn't keep caring for "it."
The dog is a Blue Heeler - not neutered, no shots - who lives outside in a kennel. He has lived in the kennel since he was a puppy. "He is very wild and barks all the time," she said.
She went on to tell me that her parents kept him outside because he was just too much of a puppy when they first got him and he just never calmed down. They did not take him outside the kennel. "They were elderly and he was too much for them to handle to go on walks."
I asked if she was interacting with him. "Oh yes, I pet him every day. I feed him."
Blue Heelers are working dogs; they typically need a job and exercise, and, as do all dogs, plenty of interaction with humans. So now we have a 4-year-old dog who is unsocialized, has no manners, is conditioned to living in a kennel and has no clue how to walk on a leash. His adoption chances are not the best.
This is an example of why the Animal Protection League and other shelters and rescues work so hard to try and fit the pet with the people adopting and their lifestyles.
Blue Heelers are adorable puppies and this is one of the reasons so many are drawn to them. But if you do not understand the breed, these folks quickly realize that their adorable puppy is all grown up and not quite so cute as he is jumping and tearing around the house like a nut. More often than not these pets end up relegated to the back yard or in shelters.
These particular folks missed out on the companionship that a pet can offer simply because they did not adopt a pet who was more suited to them. The poor dog has led, up to this point, a less than happy life because his owners were overwhelmed by him. Hopefully we will be able to find this guy a home or rescue who understands his needs and he can thrive in his new home and live a happy life.
Please do not choose a pet on how it looks - it is more important that the personality and size compliments your lifestyle. It is essential to understand the personality traits of particular breeds so you can make an informed decision. Once this happens it is also essential to commit to this animal for his entire life.
Yes, we understand even after taking the time to make a responsible decision, it sometimes doesn't work out. But the odds are higher if you are clear on what you are willing to tolerate, what you can handle and the needs of that particular pet. This way chances of everyone being happy — pet and human — are much higher.

On 10/16/07, thanks in part to the swift action of AILA advocates, the Senate rejected a harsh local immigration enforcement amendment (S.AMDT. 3277) introduced by Senator Vitter (R-La) to the Commerce-Justice-Science spending bill (H.R. 3093).
The amendment, if passed, would have barred the use of funds in the bill for the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, which provides grants to local law enforcement agencies, from going to so-called "sanctuary cities" that prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal agencies looking for illegal immigrants.
Fortunately, Senator Mikulski (D-Md.) introduced a motion to table (kill) the Vitter amendment which passed by a vote of 52-42. Visit Contact Congress to find out how your senators voted on the Vitter amendment.
The defeat of this amendment is a victory for immigration advocates, and a blow to restrictionist lawmakers who were once again rebuked in the Senate for attempting to introduce ill-conceived, and mean-spirited immigration legislation.
Another important amendment added to the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations measure on 10/16/07 was an amendment offered by Senator Mikulski (S.AMDT. 3311) that would extend the "returning worker exemption" in the H-2B program for fiscal year 2008. The amendment was passed by unanimous consent.

(September 17, 2008) — For the first time in this unfolding financial crisis, I felt personally scared by the news. Not about my money, but about the potential for catastrophe. The Federal Reserve's lightning rescue of AIG has the smell of systemic fear. The house of global finance is on fire and everyone is running for the exits, no sure way to turn them around. What's next? The question itself is ominous, because there are no good answers.
Government is much better equipped this time with various safeguards to defend the system against an implosion – including Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's personal willingness to act swiftly with unorthodox measures. But the case of AIG suggests the present unwinding has a malignant dynamic to it that might even overwhelm the authorities' capacity to put out fires. That's scary. I hope I'm wrong.
The reason the Fed was compelled to save an American insurance company in order to save the global financial system goes to the source of the rot – the "new financial architecture" developed during the last generation. These innovations allowed banking and finance to expand their leverage explosively, borrowing and lending far beyond the traditional limits defined as prudent risk-taking. One gimmick that supposedly made this okay was the creation of esoteric insurance derivatives – the so-called "credit default swaps" that supposedly protected investors and firms against losses in mortgage securities and other debt paper.
Critics repeatedly warned that these derivatives were a time bomb – trillions of dollars in risk insurance that would be exposed as meaningless if financial markets ever experienced a sharp fall in asset values. Politicians and regulators from both parties brushed aside the critics and led cheers for Wall Street's fancy new ways of guaranteeing risk.
AIG sold those guarantees in huge volume. It assumed potential liabilities far beyond the firm's capacity to make good on the deals if something went terribly wrong. The problem is global because AIG – an imperious promoter of globalized finance – sold this rotten paper all around the world to big investors and leading banks. If AIG is suddenly insolvent, the pain and loss are spread instantly to thousands of balance sheets in Asia and
But the system is not free of these troubles. AIG was not the only high flier peddling false hope to supposedly sophisticated financiers and bankers. Some of the largest, most respectable banks – led by JPMorgan Chase – did the same thing. It was a highly profitable line of business. The gimmick insurance was widely admired by financial economists and approved by the supposedly objective rating agencies. It is not clear to me how government intervention can unwind this feature of our corrupted financial system – short of making good on the trillions in these essentially fraudulent contracts. Not even the Federal Reserve has the assets to swallow all of Wall Street's folly and deception.
If my fears are right, a more fundamental reckoning may lie ahead and

I have NGS Trail-Blazing keyboard and almost all my extra keys (multimedia, web, calculator, turn off, block screen, etc) work or I can map it in the system settings.
This keyboard also has 4 extra keys that in windows serves the purpose of running microsoft word, powerpoint, excel and outlook.
I want to map those keys to open libre office writer, impress, calc and base. The problem is that XEV and KETOUCH do not recognize those 4 keys.
How can I make it work? :(

I don't like frames above my head, so I attach all important photos, drawings and things by pins or glue ;-) here is one of my favourite picture of Audrey Hepburn made on the location of Fanny Face, two cute pics of my husband as a small boy and a drawing of me and my sister (you can see more here)
The cute pink pig is a gift from my beloved sister Eva aand has a very important mission as you can see.
Normally I don't like collecting things (apart books of course) but I have one big weakness: small, plastic animals. I have many, many of them in boxes, bags etc... colourful dinos are the favourite ones ;-)
I'm very romantic girl and under my bed is a navy-blue box with my treasures: now it's the house of: photos from my childhood, favourite music (PJ Harvey and Patti Smith), pearl necklace inherited after my grandmother (I have never worn it), sweet brooch I've bought myself lately and many more...
I love spending many hours in my bed, reading magazines, books, drawings, listening th the music, dreaming…
The garland is from someone special for me - Emma Cassi. I presented her beautiful house on my blog and later I got it from her!
The table was inherited from my great grandmother. I love it! During the last 12 years I changed my house nine times, and this table has always been with me, I always find proper place for it – everywhere! I collect on it important papers, books, magazines, everything I'd like to find easily (generally it's not easy in my house because I'm very absent-minded girl;-))

Step 1: Create a corporation called Chimp Inc. and make its owner a chimp named Bonzo. (People can leave their fortunes to a pet cat, they should be able to leave controlling interest of a corporation to a chimp.)
You don't leave money to a pet, you establish a trust or give money with stipulations for its use to a designated caregiver. Making a chimp owner of a corporation begs the question; animals can't own property.

There's no reason you couldn't still use a filtering proxy. What you'll need to do is configure that filtering proxy with its own CA cert which you'll have to add to your browser's trusted CAs. The filtering proxy can terminate the outside SSL connection to the remote site (with its own list of trusted external CAs) and generate and sign its own certificates (with its configured CA cert) for the internal SSL connection to your browser. This is how BurpSuite works, for example.

Not to detract from your accomplishment, but to clarify, 1989 was not pre-SQL; SQL dates back to the early 70s and became an ANSI standard in 1986. Commercial RDBMS's based on SQL were available as early as 1979. There might not have been any open source SQL databases back then, though.

NJ man admits to cocaine saleApril 10,2014WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A reputed member of the Jersey Boys drug gang was released from jail Tuesday night with credit for time served after pleading guilty to selling cocaine last year in Springfield.
Joseph Black Atkinson, 19, entered his plea in White River Junction criminal court in exchange for a one-year sentence.
In February 2013 a woman told police that Atkinson and two other teenagers from New Jersey barged into her house, took a safe with more than $4,000 in it, and forced her at gunpoint to give them a ride to Springfield.
Much of the case against Atkinson and the other two was thrown out when a judge suppressed large parts of the evidence from the traffic stop in which they were arrested and the subsequent police investigation.
The charge remaining in Atkinsons plea deal involved selling $100 worth of crack cocaine to a police informant in Springfield.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

The San Antonio Spurs looked to be sputtering in the second half of their opening game of the Western Conference finals, looking like they might in fact actually be too old to hang with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the rest of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
A timely speech during a break in the game from Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich seemed to change everything, and San Antonio was able to take a 1-0 lead in the seven-game series. Thanks to the TNT broadcast team -- and transcription from ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz -- the nation is keenly aware of exactly what Coach Pop said to get his players to get re-motivated.
"Are we having fun yet?" Gregg Popovich asked the team as they trailed by nine. He raised his voice enough to be heard over "Sweet Caroline," but no more loudly than he needed to. "I need a little bit more dose of nasty. I'm seeing a little bit of unconfident, a little hesitation. It's not supposed to be easy. Every round gets tougher. ... Penetrate hard, good passes, shoot with confidence. I want some nasty."
The nastiness wasn't exactly palpable as far as their on-court play was concerned, but it wasn't hard to tell that the Spurs came out with a different energy following that break in the game. It was a brilliant coaching job by Popovich in what is typically assumed to be a player's league and, thanks to the television cameras, we were all allowed to witness it.

"Gothic Kitty" creator Holly Crawford has been sentenced to six months of house arrest for using a 14-gauge needle to pierce the ears, necks and tails of three kittens and then attempting to sell the maimed felines over the Internet. The 35-year-old Pennsylvania woman was further ordered to close her dog grooming business for at least two years. Despite opposition from concerned citizens, the judge ruled in favor of allowing Crawford to maintain guardianship over her other pets, including a dog, three cats and three snakes.
Crawford was initially charged after a tip led humane investigators and the state police to her home on December 17, 2008. Investigators found and seized three kittens wearing heavy piercing jewelry on their ears, necks and tails. At least one of the kittens had a thick elastic band wrapped around his tail to prevent blood flow, as a means of docking it.
Despite arguments that Crawford used sterile needles and surgical soap when piercing the kittens, a Luzerne County jury found her guilty of animal cruelty. Helping to seal the conviction was expert testimony from the ASPCA's leading forensics veterinarian, Dr. Melinda Merck, who testified that the kittens had been maimed and disfigured, had their hearing damaged, and could have died.
"I was very happy to work with the Luzerne County District Attorney's Office on this case of abuse," says Dr. Merck. "The idea of mutilating animals in such a way for profit is appalling, I am glad justice was served."
If you know of an animal who is being hurt, please report it. To report animal cruelty in New York City, call the ASPCA's tip line at (877) THE-ASPCA. Visit our Report Cruelty FAQ to learn how to report cruelty elsewhere.
The white man is very concerned about the health happiness and safety of their pet cats. Wow.
I would have thought they are angels except when I see what they do in Iraq Afghanistan. and countless other places.
i was very supportive of my dog, who convinced me he was really a cat...emotionally...inside...so after a few cosmetic surgeries, and some hormone treatments...
I'm ready to bet any cat or dog would rather get an earring than having their bollocks cut off and livelihood dampened.
Anyone who eats meat is NOT an animal lover. He/She may be a dog lover or a cat lover or whatever, but they have no right to call themselves an animal lover. Anyone who pierces their pet(s) is a stupid freak who does it for their sick vanity with no concern for the pet(s).
I am from an Asian country and we eat cat. They are very delicious. If this girl does not respect her cats please give them to me.
Mutilating the genitals of babies, legal and acceptable.
Cats with pierced ears, criminal.
Cats bodies are all about balance and their ears, tails, whiskers, necks all play a part in living a life which involves jumping, climbing, moving safely through spaces which have vegetation or furniture. Their natural balance will have been badly affected if not destroyed. I wonder at the quality of life of these poor mutilated cats.
Please, please put your energies into something productive. Do not inflict this on them - they were not created to handle this stuff.
And her other pets have been left under her 'guardianship' why?? Is that judge for real?? Some judges need their faces smashing in!!
Just because we mutilated animals historically does NOT make it right today. And for those people who are making comparisons with other atrocities in the world,"We are not discussing those issues here we are discussing the issue of piercings on cats."
I am very committed to a number of causes, and have demonstrated and created petitions against inequality and inhumane treatment to anyone.
If you really care about mans inhumanity your would have some real concern for any living thing.

Which TV Family Are You Most Like?
Count up each of your A, B, C, or D answers, then find your match below. If you have a tie between two of the letters (for example, you answered four questions with A and four with D), then you share traits with more than one family and should read both descriptions.
If your answers were mainly A's, your family can have a dinner party with the Cleavers.
They just don't make families like yours anymore! You value tradition and find comfort in certain routines but you're far from boring. You make plenty of memories just by being your everyday selves.
If you answered mostly B's, your brood can take a seat on the Simpsons' couch!
Okay, so maybe your neighbors think you're a little over-the-top but they also know you're the most entertaining family on the block. You might not follow customs but that's okay — underneath all your family's wackiness, there's a lot of love.
If your answers were mainly C's, you and your kin should break bread with the Brady Bunch.
You never lack for excitement in your house. With your family's widespread interests, there's always something to talk about. You may come from different backgrounds but share a strong family bond.
If your answers were mainly D's, your household takes cues from the Huxtables.
You're a busy bunch and success means a lot in your house. Even though you push each other to excel, it's done out of love. You are each other's biggest fan and you want your kin to realize their full potential.

---- — Local officials are gearing up to try to save Chateaugay Correctional Facility, and we hope they are successful, as the small communities of the North Country seem to be taking an unfair hit in regard to prison closures.
The State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision intends to close Chateaugay Correctional next year. That comes after Camp Gabriels in Brighton was shut down in 2009 and Lyon Mountain Correctional was shuttered in January 2011.
The state has cited as its reason for closing four prisons statewide in 2014, "a substantial reduction in the state crime rate and drug offenses, which has caused a shrinking inmate population and less of need to keep more prisons open."
The state says the closures will save taxpayers more than $30 million, that the 111 people working there can be moved to nearby facilities and that the 234 inmates can be transferred elsewhere.
That all sounds palatable, of course, but the fact remains that Chateaugay prison is still proving its worth, functioning at near capacity — just six inmates short of the 240 it is designed to hold — and providing a niche service: incarcerating parole violators on short holds.
The impact of the closure on a small community like Chateaugay — population 833 in the 2010 Census — is far greater than in more urban areas. Prisons have been major employers in the North Country for decades, with higher-paying jobs and better benefits than are offered by most local companies.
Chateaugay is dependent on the facility for jobs and community commerce. Its closure will be devastating, with nothing to replace the loss.
The way it came about is disconcerting, as well. Gov. Andrew Cuomo had called for its closure in his executive budget in January, but the State Legislature restored the funding.
The governor has now circumvented the intention of lawmakers, surprising everyone here by suddenly giving the required one-year notice of closure. State Sen. Betty Little, Assemblywoman Janet Duprey and Franklin County officials were all taken off guard.
"Other regions of the state not only have a better capacity to absorb the economic impact of a closure, but the real estate is of much higher value," Little told the Press-Republican.
Evidence of that is on display in the two other closed prison sites. Camp Gabriels, offered for sale several times since it was abandoned in 2009, hasn't had even one suitor show interest. And a Canadian man was the only bidder in the state's auction of the former Lyon Mountain prison, getting 27 acres and 23 buildings for the bargain price of $140,000.
Chateaugay Correctional is in good condition, being only 13 years old, and was scheduled to link to new natural-gas lines and a wind turbine that would reduce energy costs starting next year.
The North Country is ready for a fight, gearing up to save a full and well-functioning prison that is the major employer in the community.

What is Neighborhood Watch?
Neighborhood Watch is a group of neighbors looking out for neighbors. It is getting to know each other and becoming familiar with your neighbor's habits and vehicles so that you will know when something is suspicious or out of the ordinary. In addition to recognizing potential suspicious activities, Neighborhood Watch participants report such activity by calling 911. After calling 911, also notify your Watch Chairperson (Block Captain).
All of this doesn't make you a nosy neighbor – it makes you a good neighbor in the old-fashioned sense of the word. Many people don't want to bother law enforcement because they are afraid that it may not be a real emergency or that they may be embarrassed if their suspicions turn out to be unfounded. The police and sheriff's deputies would much rather be called out to investigate than to be called after a crime has been committed.
When in doubt, always call 911. The 911 dispatch center is staffed with trained operators who will evaluate your call, rank its priority, and dispatch it to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Neighborhood watch groups are not vigilantes. They are extra eyes and ears for reporting crime and helping neighbors. Currently, there are over more than twenty watch groups in San Juan County.
If you are interested in starting a group in your neighborhood, please fill out the form below or contact the Community Relations Office at 505-334-6107.
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required. Information provided will be held in the strictest confidence.
Benefits of having a Neighborhood Watch:
- Improved livability.
- A team concept of neighbors working together.
- Knowing your neighbors and looking out for one another.
- Improved home security.
- A partnership with the Sheriff's office.
- Information about available resources and services.
For additional information, please contact the Community Relations Office at (505) 334-6107.

Welcome to AJ Simply Jobs Wizard - Joomla Module! (v1.0)
The AJ Simply Jobs Wizard module makes millions of jobs from SimplyHired.com accessible and totally integrated on your own Website!, so you can easily transform your website into a powerful Job Search Engine, or alternatively you can choose to hide the search functionality and create a Job list (or multiple lists) showing up to 20 jobs that always have jobs that are relevant to your web content (you create a pre-defined job search that will display the results as shown below in the screenshots as well as in the demos).
All you have to do is providing your own Job-a-matic account (It's FREE to join) so can start taking full advantage of their revenue program for clicks on sponsored jobs and jobs posted through your Website. If you're not familiar with the Job-a-matic program, take a quick look at their FAQ here: http://www.jobamatic.com/jbb-static/faq
Here's how it worksSay you have a Joomla website that provides information and resources about Automobiles. With AJ Simply Jobs Board, you can instantly offer more than just information to your visitors, simply install and configure the component to provide relevant job listings of "mechanics", "car sales", "transportation", "drivers", etc, etc...
This can be achieved by providing a default search keywords such as the ones mentioned in the previous example. You can also be more specific and provide a default location for the search or assign values to the multiple Advanced and Special filters. For instance, you can show job listings of "car sales" in "Los Angeles, California" as a default search.
The Module can be used in many different ways, for instance:
- as a full Job Search Engine (integrated with the AJ Simply Jobs Board PRO component, your own Jobamatic.com account and SimplyHired.com),
- as a Job Listings showing up to 20 jobs using fixed search parameters to customize the list (No Search boxes if you don't want to show them),
- as multiple Modules on a single page (i.e.: one module showing "Sales Jobs" in a specific city, another one showing "Sales Jobs" in another city, and so on),
- as a Job Listing for a specific Company or Location,
- and much more (contact us if you have questions about a particular implementation you have in mind)...

The Alabama Surface Mining Commission on Tuesday approved the permit for Reed Mineral No. 5 mine, which is proposed for the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management approved a permit application for the mine on Oct. 17. The only remaining regulatory hurdle for the operation is the renewal of an expired permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The project has received opposition from environmental groups like Black Warrior Riverkeeper and the Alabama Rivers Alliance. But the Birmingham City Council and the Birmingham Water Works Board have also publicly opposed the mine.
The site planned for Reed Mineral is five miles upstream from the water intake of the BWWB's Western Filtration Plant, which supplies the drinking water to much of north central Alabama.
Water Board officials say the mine's discharge could have chemicals that will increase the treatment costs, raising water bills. They say the discharge chemicals could result in water that stains tubs and has an "objectionable taste."
Riverkeeper Nelson Brooke said officials with Black Warrior Riverkeeper are reviewing the ASMC's decision, and exploring the nonprofit group's remaining options to oppose the mine.
Riverkeeper officials have filed a petition with the ASMC seeking to have all of the land near the intake classified as unsuitable for mining.
However, Brooke said that ASMC officials have indicated that at least the 178-acres associated with the Reed Mineral No. 5 operation will not be given such a classification.
According to the ASMC's ruling, technicians with the agency conducted a Hydrologic Impact Assessment that considers the proposed operation and all currently permitted and reclaimed mining operations that exist from the start of the watershed to the BWWB intake.
"There is no evidence that these mining operations are contributing to, or will contribute to, degradation of water quality in the Mulberry Fork," the report states. "No evidence has been presented that past mining operations have resulted in treatment difficulties at the intake."
Patrick Cagle, executive director of the JobKeeper Alliance, said he believes the ASMC made the right decision.
"ADEM and the ASMC have both approved this mine and the issue should be settled," he said. "Unfortunately, Black Warrior Riverkeeper has a history of pursuing costly and time consuming litigation as a means of accomplishing their goal to stop coal mining."
Many members of the Dovertown community have also opposed the mine, saying the project is short-sighted and a waste of valuable riverfront property.
The decision by the ASMC also addressed comments about the economic effects of the mine. It states that Reed Minerals will provide a royalty to the City of Cordova for all coal extracted from the site, which will generate about $4 million for the city. The report also states that the operation will contribute to the coal severance tax, benefitting all of Walker County.
According to the decision, remnants of the abandoned manufacturing facility will be removed and the land will be reclaimed, allowing for future development of the property.
Randy Palmer, a member of Citizens Opposed to Strip Mining on the Black Warrior, called the ASMC's decision absurd.
"Their statement on the economic benefits to the City of Cordova are false and misleading," he said.
Palmer said it could take a decade for the land to be back to normal.
He said that when a portion of I-22 opened in 2007, former Alabama Gov. Bob Riley advised residents to be selective in choosing which industries to bring in.
Palmer said he believes that placing a strip mine on riverfront property near a major interstate is not what Riley had in mind.
"It doesn't make good sense," he said. "Not for the City of Cordova or for the users of the water."
