Caring for your shower
Digital showers - Cold weather advice
Modern loft insulation, although very effective at keeping our homes warm, can result in the loft area being much colder than normal. This therefore affects the water supplying the processor and the air around it.
For ease of installation we do advise that the processor can be sited in the loft area, but also we clearly state in our installation instructions (in the Important Information section under Safety information) that the processor box must not be installed in situations where the ambient temperature is likely to exceed 40 deg. C or where freezing may occur.
We have created this guide to explain what steps can be taken.
This guide is applicable to the following models:
Opto Digital
Visage Digital
Quartz Digital
Axis Digital
Rise Digital
HiQu Digital
ilux Digital
Lights illuminate on the controller but there is no water.
No response from the start button and no lights on the controller.
Shower starts briefly, and then shuts off.
What is the processor?
The processor box is the mixer part of your digital shower or bath filler; it is where the hot and cold water are blended. Your processor box will look like this:
Why won't the processor work?
Located inside the processor box is a device called a "thermistor"; this is what helps regulate the water temperature. In extreme cold conditions (0 deg. C +/- 2 deg.) the thermistor will register a fault which places the processor into a safe mode to help protect it.
How do I get it working again?
In some cases, it may be as simple as turning the power supply off to the processor box; leaving it for a few minutes and then turning it back on again
If the water supplies feeding or inside the processor are frozen; then this must be thawed. The temperature of the loft space must be warmed. We recommend opening the loft hatch and allowing the warm air from the house to penetrate the roof space to slowly thaw the processor and pipes. The power will need to be turned off and then back on again after a few minutes to reset the processor box and clear the fault.
How do I avoid this happening again?
Ensure that the pipe work to and from the processor box is lagged (special tubular foam insulation) and place a cardboard box over the processor. See images below.
Aerial view with lagging and covering cardboard box
Front on view with lagging and covering cardboard box
Although these solutions may seem simple, we have devised them to enable competent householders to complete the tasks without having to employ the services of a plumber.
Do not tightly wrap the processor; ensure that there is at least 2-3 inches of air clearance between the box and the processor. For pumped models ventilation holes can be made in the outer cardboard box.
Do not cover the processor or the covering box with insulation or items such as blanket.
Ensure that there is no loft insulation underneath the processor; this will help warm it from the rising heat of the room below.
In the warmer seasons it may be advisable to remove the covering box if ambient temperatures rise excessively.

How You Can Make The Next Angling Trip A lot more Enjoyable
When attempting to catch small-mouth bass, try fishing close to rocky structures. Small-mouth bass often gather in these areas. In early spring they gravitate towards shallower waters; this is because they like warmer areas. Ask people familiar with the area about good fishing spots. You may find that terrific information is available from bus drivers, park rangers and postal carriers. Before fishing, ensure that you have the proper fishing license, as well as permission from the owner. Study the species that are known to live in the waters you fish in. Be certain to know which kinds of bait work best for different types of fish, and make selections appropriately. You may have the best lures and know the best techniques, but this won't do much good if the fish aren't in the area you are fishing.
Know what kinds of fish are native to your favorite spots. Make yourself familiar with the type of bait that each fish is attracted to, and buy them accordingly. Even with good techniques and great lures, if the fish that it is meant to be attracted isn't present, then your venture will not be successful. Consider wrapping your monofilament leads around the spool of a used dental floss container. This makes it a simple way to bring your monofilament. Additionally, when snipping leader, inside the floss dispenser is a built-in cutter which can help make the task simpler. When deep sea fishing, watch for activity from fish. You will want to take note of driftwood or debris of any kind floating on the water. You might even see substantial game fish swimming around. In addition to looking for debris in the water, keep an eye out for seagulls. Many times there is an abundance of fish where seagulls are feeding.

Martha Donley was two months premature when Dr. Forrest Moyer helped her enter the world.
Tiny and frail, she struggled for every breath.
Her father, Edward Donley, worked for Air Products and Chemicals, then a small company that supplied oxygen to hospitals.

Hello i would like to ask prayer for my spiritual walk with God please. I have been out of job for a year, i get very angry with God, most of my friends seem to forsake me, i call them a few times and they don't call me vack. I have had one girlfriend in 15 years and i am now 41! And i am going back to live in Paris in November, please if you could pray for the French people in general the whole country, it could be the most atheist country in the world, atheism is very strong over there, but i know that through prayer God can save many souls like it was before the revolution when ten percent of the population was protestant! Thank you very much, may all your petitions be granted and be blessed in everything! If you could pray for my free bible video and movie website bible-tube.com for God to bless the people coming from all over to see the movies and sermons! Thank you Fabien

Students Stir Up Excitement for Cooking Competition
Posted: February 28, 2006
Charleston, W.Va. � Students from across the Mountain State will serve up culinary delights as part of the 5th Annual West Virginia ProStart Hospitality Cup on March 10th and 11th, 2006 at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
The Academy of Careers and Technology, Boone Career & Technical Center, Fayette Institute of Technology, Greenbrier East High School, James Monroe High School, John Marshall High School, Marion County Technical Center, Mineral County Technical Center, Preston High School, Putnam Career and Technical Center, St. Albans High School, and United Technical Center and Webster County High School are slated to participate in the competition.
The event will showcase the culinary talents and foodservice management savvy of high school students from all over the state. The first, second, and third place teams will receive scholarships from a total of nine post-secondary schools including Johnson & Wales University and the Culinary Institute of America. The first place team from both the management and culinary competitions will represent West Virginia at the National Competition in Charlotte, North Carolina in late April.
The annual ProStart Hospitality Cup competition, conducted by the West Virginia Office of Hospitality Education and Training (WV HEAT), is broken into two segments: culinary and management. Teams participating in the culinary competition will demonstrate their creative abilities through the preparation of a meal consisting of a starter, entr�e and dessert. Teams participating in the management competition will demonstrate their knowledge of the restaurant and foodservice industry by competing in a case study, where students are tested on their communication skills and ability to apply their knowledge of the industry to practical situations and a question-and-answer �game show�-style event.
�This competition an excellent way for students to demonstrate their culinary and management knowledge,� said Greg Atkinson, WV HEAT Coordinator. �Working with educators and mentors in the industry really connects the ProStart curriculum to real life experiences.�
The ProStart program, administered in West Virginia by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) and WV HEAT, is a two-year curriculum designed to teach high school students the management skills needed for a career in the restaurant and foodservice industry. Students also have the opportunity to participate in paid internships where industry managers mentor them. Students that meet academic standards, complete a checklist of competencies, and participate in at least 400 hours of a mentored work experience are awarded the ProStart National Certificate of Achievement that signifies they are well qualified to enter the industry workforce. Currently, 47 ProStart programs operate in West Virginia with an enrollment of approximately 1,000 high school students per year.

BERLIN, Md. - One local beach is closing part of its land down to protect its wildlife. Assateague Island National Seashore will temporarily close an area to protect breeding Piping Plovers.
The interior portion of northern Assateague Island, including much of the island north of Assateague State Park, has been closed to public use since April, and starting June 15th it will be expanded.
The closed area includes the portion of the public Over-Sand Vehicle route south of kilometer marker 18.0. All vehicle use south of KM 18.0 will be temporarily prohibited. The bullpen camping area will be moved north.
The ocean beaches are still open and accessible from Assateague State Park and from the boat landing area. The plovers nest on opens sandy beaches and raise their chicks along the water, so the beach closure is to protect them and their young.

The disability retirement is the benefit due to the retired person who is not able to work and has no possibility of rehabilitation to develop activities that will provide income for their maintenance. This benefit will be paid until this condition remains. The monthly income is 100% of salary benefit.
Today the biggest problem we have in relation to disability retirement is the issue of real analysis that must be made in granting this benefit. The fact is that it should be taken into account not only the disease itself, not only physical disability, but the whole social context of the insured person. It should be noted if the person has conditions to get a real job. We give as an example a handyman who can not make the movement a "pendulum" (up and down) or a person who has little education, like the one who can only "draw" his name and already is, for example, 58 years old . Do these workers can learn a new work? The stark reality is that they often have no physical or mental conditions of learning a new profession. Also, it does not make sense to rehabilitate them for an activity they will not ever accomplish. Example: a maid who gets tendinitis. She goes through a medical inspection. The doctor puts her on sickness benefit. But the disease will end one day and she will be out of the labor market for two years. Does this lady who is now aged 60 will get a new placement? It will be very difficult. If she succeeds, great. But if not, even with the doctor´s analysis indicating only a "partial incapacity", it seems fair that she is entitled to retirement for disability. This is because one must look not only the disease, but the whole social context of the person. It should be done a social, environmental and personal analysis.
The disability retirement SUSPENDS the employment contract. The disability retiree may not be fired. Many employers terminate the employment contract. This contract termination is null.
The disability retirement may be granted only when people undergo medical inspection. Thus, in the same way, it can only be canceled by medical inspection. So, the clinical examination is not enough. It should also be required all additional examinations. However, in many cases, this is not what happens. Currently, the disability retirement benefit is one of the most complex, because the person is no longer getting out of the sickness benefit and reach the retirement for disability. There are many obstacles. Today medical expertises are being held each two years. Many people are declared "able" and often they are not really able to come back to work. It is therefore necessary to modify the situation regarding the medical expertise. In the meantime, we must be vigilant and demand our rights.
On the last April 23, the"New Code of Medical Ethics" entered into force bringing the duties of doctors and patient's rights. Among them:
1 – When going through the medical expertise, the insured can bring along another doctor or a person in your family.
2 – Medical secrecy is not the so-called "doctor´s secrecy", but this secrecy is "in favor of the insured." Confidentiality belongs to the patient and he can tell the secret to anyone. So, if the patient decides to waive secrecy and give, for example, a declaration that he wants to be accompanied during the medical examination by Joe, he can do it, as long as Joe does not interfere with the medical expertise.
3 – Medical record – The medical record belongs to the patient. Not to the hospital. Then the patient has the right to go to the hospital and get the medical records. This is important because sometimes this document is the only one which can proves that the person is really invalid.
The INSS requires that the person does not have any disease or injury when joining to the General Administration of Social Security. However, "date of illness onset is different from" date of disability. "
Someone may be diabetic (sick) and not being unable – I am a teacher and lawyer, for example. Inability can happens or not. I cannot get into the system already unable, but no problem if I get into it already sick.
It means that a person cannot perform the basic acts of life. Will therefore have an additional 25% on his retirement benefit. It may even exceed the maximum amount paid by Social Security which is today R$ 3.416,54. If the person is already receiving the maximum amount, the value of his benefit in case of major disability, will be R$ 3,416.54 + 25%. The INSS understands that this extra payment is only valid for those who are retired on disability. However, let us consider, for example, a person who retired by age and, after some time, gets the great disability. Does this person would not have the right, once the additional 25% is just intended to pay the cost of the third person who helps to take care of the disabled person? Thus, considering that the disability retirement was created to overcome the loss of work ability and also taking into account that the person had paid all his life for this benefit, which is characterized by care, so the benefit must be paid to all who need it. Therefore, we advocate the thesis that any insured (not only those retired for disability), will be entitled to this additional 25%.

School Based ACCESS Program
What is School Based ACCESS?
The School-Based ACCESS Program (SBAP) is a partnership between the PA Department of Education (PDE) and the PA Department of Public Welfare (DPW). School entities allowed to enroll as SBAP providers include Pennsylvania school districts, intermediate units, state-owned schools, approved private schools, and charter schools.
The School-Based ACCESS Program, or SBAP, allows Pennsylvania Local Education Agencies, or LEAs, to receive federal Medicaid reimbursement for providing IEP health-related services to Medical Assistance-eligible children as part of their Individualized Education Program (IEP). All funds received are used to support the special education program and services in the School District of Haverford township.
SBAP is a cooperative efforts between the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW), the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and PDE's contractor.
There are many advantages to enrolling children in Medical Assistance, besides the obvious
Medical Assistance pays for wrap-around mental health services and other types of
services that are not routinely covered under private insurance. Some families will not
qualify for Medical Assistance or Social Security Income because the family income exceeds program limits.

On Friday, the Carolina Panthers selected former Boston College Eagles inside linebacker Luke Kuechly with the ninth overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Kuechly is the eighth-rated prospect in the draft and the No. 1 inside linebacker, according to Mocking The Draft's rankings
Here's what Mocking the Draft had to say about Kuechly prior to the draft:
Final word: At the college level, Kuechly is arguably the most accomplished player in this year's draft. An All-American each of his three seasons at Boston College, Kuechly led the nation in tackles as a sophomore and junior. He's instinctual and will be able to contribute immediately as a rookie. His upside, though, is limited because he's not the strongest or a natural athlete.

GSE Buyers & Ramp-Ops Conference
14th-16th April 2014, Four Seasons Hotel, Dublin
Registration and Welcome reception on 14th April at 19.00
EVA International's fourth GSE Buyers & Ramps Ops Conference, one of the three held as part of the spread of three partner conferences at Dublin's Four Seasons Hotel earlier this month, attracted its usual wide range of informative speakers.
Subject matter experts including Nick Watts of Heathrow Airport, Adrian Dunne of Ryanair, Paul Drever and John Edmunds of handlers Menzies and dnata offered their thoughts on the opportunities and challenges facing GSE buyers and all the various agencies active on the ramp at airports around the world.
Topics were as varied as the possibilities offered by ground support equipment pooling, the merits of GSE leasing as opposed to ownership, aircraft de-icing, the need for airports to do more to support their GSE users, the impact of pressure to minimise the aviation industry's environmental impact on those equipment users and manufacturers, the value of busing from remote airport stands, and the need for careful inspections on GSE to ensure that it is maintained in a safe condition.
With some of the other speakers from as far afield as Nigeria (Kehinde Abioye of Nahco Aviance), the US (Jeff Walsh from Global Ground Support), Germany (Alexander Stern of Lufthansa LEOS), Romania (Nicolae Rudei from Romanian Airport Services), Belgium (Gerd van Damme of TCR), France (Sebastien Hoyos of Charlatte Manutention) and Sweden (Paul Synott of Aviator), there was no shortage of views – some controversial, all thought-provoking – from around the world.
Of course, the UK's role was not forgotten, with Manchester Aiport's Andy Willis, Clariant's Nigel Westlake, CSA Financial's Graeme Laing and Airside Airport Equipment Thorough Examination's Chas Day also contributing to what was two days of informative presentations, penetrative questioning and open-forum discussion, all of it under the careful stewardship of Conference chairman Robert Powell of local flag-carrier Aer Lingus.

- 1 About Reps
- 2 Information for Reps
- 3 Information for Departments
- 4 The Pro-VC says:
About Reps
Department Reps provide a vital link of communication between students, departments, faculties and the Students' Union.
What do they do?
- Pro-actively find out the views, needs, concerns, ideas and opinions of students on their course or scheme of study
- Represent these issues and give feedback at department meetings
- Meet with other elected student reps in their faculty and the Students' Union to share information, get support and develop campaigns
- Gain skills and experience
- Improve the academic experience of students at Lancaster University
Why should you get in touch with them?
Your Reps have been chosen by YOU as a great contact within your department. If you're having problems within your department, or want to shout about its successes, your Rep is a fantastic first point of contact. Every year the Reps secure great wins for students, on things from mentoring systems to coursework turnaround times, but they can only do this with your help and feedback. They need you to get in touch with them, giving them the information needed to get what students want.
How do you contact them?
- Ask Department Administrators for details
- Department Noticeboards
- On-line department or course information
- Email firstname.lastname@example.com – stating your year, scheme of study/department and asking for your reps contact information.
Information for Reps
What are the benefits of being a rep?
Develop interpersonal and transferable skills which increases your employability status
- Confidence and assertiveness
- Organisation and time management
- Resilience
- Team working
- Initiative
- Adds to your CV and Portfolio as evidence of extracurricular responsibility

- Tell other students on your course that you would like to be their rep and why you think you would be good at it
- email firstname.lastname@example.com
Training is provided every year for newly elected Department Reps. This year the training was offered to reps from week 3 of the first term. 20 separate training sessions have been offered to ensure that reps have plenty of opportunity to attend training. The training is free and is designed to equip reps with skills and knowledge to do their jobs most effectively.
This year the training included:
- Structures of the University and Students' Union
- Conduct in Meetings
- Negotiation
- Assertiveness
- Case studies
- Networking with other reps
- Faculty Forums
- What reps should not deal with and how to signpost issues

All reps are expected to attend training each academic year. If you do not attend rep training your role may not be recorded on your University Transcript.
Who organises it?
The Student's Union work alongside the departments and faculties to support and coordinate the Student Representative System. We provide training, support, advice and resources to assist the reps to do their jobs. You should register on-line as an official Student Rep for your department. The Union keeps a database of all the reps that register so that we can help put students in touch with their reps.
Email all your rep enquires, questions, feedback and concerns email@example.com
Information for Departments
Guidelines for best practice in the Department Rep system were passed at Senate a couple of years ago. Below you can see some of the key elements of best practice document. You can also view the full document if you like.
What should departments do to help elect and train reps?
Departmental Representatives should be elected at the beginning of each academic year ideally by the end of week 3 of the Michaelmas Term to enable timely training.
Representative elections will be promoted jointly by departments and LUSU at the beginning of term via:
- Lectures
- Departmental Notice Boards and Emails
- LUSU media/promotion
- LUSU will provide relevant promotional support materials.
It is suggested in the interests of fairness, students are elected and that all students have the opportunity to stand as a representative.
Usually this would be at a compulsory element where all students of a year group are together.
If posts are contested, candidates should be allowed to say a few words in the relevant lecture and a hand vote be taken.
It is critical to the success of the system that departments, faculties and LUSU accurately know who representatives are. Post elections, departments will issue registration materials and a welcome pack provided by LUSU and will inform LUSU of representatives' names, role and contact details.
There will be annual training sessions for departmental representatives offered between weeks 4 and 6 of the Michaelmas Term. Departments will highlight these opportunities to reps and enable them to attend where possible.
How many reps should there be?
The recommended ratio of departmental reps per year for taught students is:
- 0-50 students – 1 representative
- 51-100 students – 2 representatives
- 101-150 students – 3 representatives
- 151+ students – 4 representatives
How should departments communicate with their reps?
All reps will be properly informed in advance about relevant departmental meetings so that they can effectively collect the students' views on issues raised.
Representatives should be offered the opportunity to meet with the Chair of the relevant meeting prior to their first attendance.
Departments should be expected to provide documentation to representatives when requested, such as previous agendas, minutes etc. except any issues relating solely to confidential staff or student matters.
Departments should recommend appropriate members of staff to refer representatives and student issues to.
Departments should help encourage and facilitate informal relationships with student representatives, outside of departmental meetings to allow for greater and timelier feedback.
Facilitate the promotion of their representatives and their contact information via access/space on websites, LUVLE and to student departmental email lists.
What communication should there be between departments and LUSU?
Departments will provide LUSU with up to date information on:
- representatives' names and any changes mid-session
- feedback regarding consistent non-attendance of representatives or other concerns to the VP Education
- notice of any meetings scheduled to run before training events so interim support could be offered.
LUSU will keep faculties and departments regularly updated as to activities and support provision for representatives.
LUSU will discuss with faculties ways in which to enhance the system on an annual basis.
LUSU will keep faculties informed of any changes likely to impact on their own governance structures in a timely manner.
The key staff contact for the department rep system is currently the Education and Representation Adviser – Su Hall. For general information you can email email@example.com.
What do the QAA say?
The QAA have produced a Quality Code to help assist Higher Education Providers. There is a chapter specifically relating to Student Engagement which offer some useful advice linked to the department rep system and as well other forms of engagement. You can view the Student Engagement chapter here.
Lancaster University has led the sector from its inception 50 years ago in its excellent student engagement. This continues today with academic staff and students valuing the opportunities to work together on departmental Staff-Student consultative committees and ad-hoc working groups to enhance student learning.
The Pro-VC says:

To all Syracuse University Orange Fans, This past summer I hand made a table that replicates Jim Boeheim Court. The table was signed earlier this semester by Rakeem Christmas and CJ Fair.
I am looking to sell the table and thought I'd put a post up on here. If you are interested in it please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. It is currently on ebay, however, I can take it off to sell to an interested buyer.
The table is 100% custom made by myself and is located in Syracuse.

Israel and Palestinian security prisoners on Monday signed an Egyptian-mediated
deal to end a 28-day hunger strike by inmates.
According to the terms of
the agreement, Palestinian prisoners committed to refrain from involvement in
"activities against security" within prison walls. In exchange, previously
suspended benefits will be reinstated by the Prisons Service, including the
renewal of familial visits and allowing inmates held in separate cells to return
to the general prison population.
The agreement was made possible after
leaders of the striking prisoners signed a commitment to completely halt terror
activities from inside Israeli prisons, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency)
said in a rare statement.
Inmate leaders – who are outside prison –
instructed the prisoners to stop such terror activities, the statement
Palestinians hailed the prisoner agreement as a triumph, with both
Hamas and the Palestinian Authority taking credit for the
In the Gaza Strip, Palestinians took to the streets to
celebrate the "victory" of the prisoners.
A small group of Palestinians
in east Jerusalem also took to the streets to celebrate the agreement. Some of
them chanted slogans calling for the abduction of IDF soldiers, to secure the
release of Palestinian prisoners.
Various Palestinian political groups in
the Gaza Strip praised the striking inmates for their "legendary" endurance
during the hunger strike. The groups also praised Egypt for playing a major role
in mediating between the parties.
The Hamas government said that it had
made tremendous efforts to end the plight of the prisoners.
Hamas Prime
Minister Ismail Haniyeh thanked the Egyptians for their role in helping to broker the agreement, official Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram's website
Speaking in Gaza, Haniyeh also congratulated the prisoners who
"successfully achieved their demands," and praised the "steadfastness of the
prisoners," according to the report.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials
traveled to Cairo this week for talks with the Egyptian government and PA
representatives regarding ways to end the hunger strike.
Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu's spokesman, Mark Regev, said that Israel negotiated the
strike-ending deal in response to a request from PA President Mahmoud
"It is our hope that this gesture by Israel will serve to build
confidence between the parties and advance peace," he said.
The prisoner
strike issue was discussed Saturday night when Netanyahu's envoy, Yitzhak
Molcho, delivered a letter from the prime minister to Abbas.
The Israeli
Right slammed the deal.
Likud MK Danny Danon said the agreement was "a
serious mistake. Instead of worsening the [imprisonment] conditions of
terrorists, they are given presents. Prisoners' conditions should be clear – no
family visits, no benefits in buying products and no release from isolation for
security prisoners."
Danon said he would ask for an urgent discussion in
the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on the agreement and would try to
prevent its implementation.
Some 1,600 prisoners, a third of the 4,800
Palestinians in Israeli jails, began refusing food on April 17 in a protest that
also included demands for more family visits and an end to solitary
The peaceful campaign has focused attention on so-called
"administrative detention," a practice that has drawn international criticism,
and raised fears of a violent Palestinian backlash if any of the protesters
Israel had set a goal to end the hunger strike before "Nakba Day" on
Tuesday, amid fears that the strike would lead to greater violence by
Palestinian demonstrators.
Meanwhile, the families of prisoners Bilal
Diab and Thaer Halahle, who have been on hunger strike for more than two months,
announced that their sons were not part of the deal.
The families said
that their sons have decided to continue their hunger strike until they are
released from prison.
Leaders of the inmates signed the agreement on
behalf of all security prisoners – belonging to all groups – being held in
Israeli prisons.
The agreement is binding for prisoners who are
rearrested in the future.
Before reaching the agreement, an Israeli
committee made up of representatives from the Prisons Service, Justice Ministry,
Foreign Ministry and Health Ministry, as well as the Shin Bet and National
Security Council, examined the prisoners' request, and passed on recommendations
to Israeli decision-makers.
Prisoners who were on hunger strike will
remain under medical supervision to ensure that a return to eating will not
result in medical complications, Israeli authorities said.
authorities added that the prisoners received their full legal rights throughout
the hunger strike.Herb Keinon and JPS contributed to this report.

No, things are far more serious for the young Gabriella Cilmi. She's the new...
Last night Ms Cilmi played at The Scala, and throughout the whole performance I could not get past the vocal similarities. Now some people might think I'm being rude. I'm not, it's just they both inspire the same amount of passionate devotion in me. And besides, who am I to doubt the general publics record buying tastes? According to the most reliable internet resource known to man , Anastacia has sold in excess of 30 million albums worldwide. I don't think we'll hear much complaining from Gabs if she falls foul of a similar fate. Personally, I reckon she'll come into her own with a second or third album. She is clearly a rock chick at heart, and with age (she's only sixteen bless) will come the confidence to make the kind of music she wants to.
I would've stayed to see the headliners Nouvelle Vague, but I'd had a few shandies and I've been working very hard recently. Also, they're basically a covers band. Rubbish.
Gabriella is interviewed in the current issue of GT, and the interview is online here .

Analytic Hessian Matrices and the Computation of FIGARCH Estimates
AbstractLong memory in conditional variance is one of the empirical features of most financial time series. One class of models that was suggested to capture this behavior refers to the so-called Fractionally Integrated GARCH processes (Baillie, Bollerslev and Mikkelsen 1996) in which the ideas of fractional integration originally introduced by Granger (1980) and Hosking (1981) for processes for the mean are applied to a GARCH framework. In this paper we derive analytic expressions for the second-order derivatives of the log-likelihood function of FIGARCH processes with a view to the advantages that can be gained in computational speed and estimation accuracy. The comparison is computationally intensive given the typical sample size of the time series involved and the way the likelihood function is built. An illustration is provided on exchange rate and stock index data.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 2 Fire Chief Michael J. Basile's death on Saturday has made a major impact on the Hartwick Fire Department.
"We lost a big part of our family," said Terry Brunn, first assistant fire chief of Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 2. "both in Co. 1 and Co. 2."
"A huge loss to our community and the county as a whole," said Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 1 Fire Chief Robert O'Brien.
Brunn, who has known Basile since 1978, said that Basile first moved to Hartwick in 1972.
"(He) joined the fire department the first week he was here," said Brunn.
Brunn said that Basile started his service with Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 1, where he served as emergency squad captain for eight years. He moved over to Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 2 in Hartwick Seminary in 1986, when he moved into a house near the company's fire house.
Both Hartwick fire companies are all-volunteer units. No. 2, which is located on State Route 28, was founded in 1950 in order to serve Hartwick Seminary. No. 1 is located in the hamlet of Hartwick.
Basile became chief of No. 2 in 2008, having previously been first assistant fire chief in the company.
"He was a big pusher for bringing new members in," said Brunn, who detailed how in 2006 he brought in 15 to 20 new members.
Basile was self-employed as an owner of Basile & Son Fire Alarms. Brunn said that Basile took many hours away from his job for the fire department. He was also a deputy EMS coordinator (OC-7) for the Otsego County Office of Emergency Services since April of 1980, according to Otsego County Office of Emergency Services Coordinator Kevin Ritton.
"He basically knew every fireman and every fire chief in the county," said Brunn.
Born in Far Rockaway, Queens, Basile was raised on Long Island in Massapequa. He is survived by his wife Claudia, their son John and daughter-in-law Jennifer Basile and granddaughter Kaylee Basile. Basile was diagnosed with colon cancer about a year ago, and died at Bassett Medical Center on Jan. 18. He was 62 years old.
Basile has been cremated, and viewing hours will be from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Connell, Dow & Deysenroth, Inc. Funeral Home in Cooperstown on Friday. This will be followed by a 10 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial at St. Mary's "Our Lady of the Lake" Roman Catholic Church in Cooperstown on Saturday.
Following the service, Basile's remains will be taken on a final tour of Hartwick's fire district, stopping at Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 1 and his former residence in Hartwick, and finishing at Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 2.
"He will ride on our engine that he helped purchase in 2006," said Brunn, referring to E-372, Hartwick Fire Department Co. No. 2's 2006 Freightliner Pumper.
After arriving at the fire hall, Basile will be given his Final Alarm. A reception will follow.
Basile will remain chief of Co. No. 2 until the company holds its elections in February.

NASHVILLE (AP) - Gov. Bill Haslam has selected three people to serve on a special state Supreme Court panel to hear a lawsuit concerning the state's system for selecting appeals court judges.
This selection comes after three justices he picked recused themselves in August. Initially, all the sitting Tennessee Supreme Court justices recused themselves from the case.
The new members are J. Robert Carter, Jr., a criminal court judge in Shelby County; James R. Dedrick, retired U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee; and Monica N. Wharton, chief legal counsel for the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.
The lawsuit contends Haslam's appointment of a criminal appeals court judge last year violates the state constitution. It is on appeal after the state Court of Appeals in July reversed a portion of a lower court's ruling.
The lawsuit was brought by John Jay Hooker, a two-time Democratic Party nominee for governor.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close KY 307 in Hickman County at the site of ongoing construction of new bridges over Bayou De Chien on Monday.
The closure on KY 307 at mile point 4.5 is to allow beams to be set on the new Bayou De Chien Bridges.
KY 307 will close at this site at approximately 8 a.m. after the morning school bus run.
There will be no marked detour.
Flaggers will be placed on KY 307 at the KY 58 Intersection and the KY 1529 Intersection to help direct motorists to a viable detour route.
KY 307 is expected to remain closed at this site until sometime Monday evening.
At the end of work on Monday the contractor will evaluate progress on the beam placement process and determine if an additional closure may be required on Wednesday.

The fluctuating temperatures can be putting extra wear and tear on your home. Water lines can freeze in subzero temperatures, but as it those temperatures rise, that frozen water thaws and can cause pipes and sprinkler systems to burst.
Plumbing experts say if you have a water line that runs outside, it's important to keep those areas heated by opening cabinet doors and putting heat tape around the pipes.
"Usually people will notice it when they have no water at the faucet, so hopefully, they catch it soon enough, but ultimately, if the pipe freezes enough, it will split the pipe whether it be a plastic pipe or a copper pipe and then there's a little bit more to deal with," says Missy Newbury, Minot Plumbing and Heating.
If you do find you have frozen pipes, the best thing to do is call a licensed plumber.

@michelletrantina Hi Michelle + My Yoga team ... thank you for the wonderful detox. I've never done anything like it and found wonderful. I nearly caved at Day 4, but stuck it out and now feel amazing. All the readings and informative videos definitely helped to fine tune the ongoing wellness of not just me, but my whole family. I just wanted to mention that as I'm downunder I looked up some alternative videos that were aimed at the Autumn season rather than spring. It would be super if as the year undergoes a full seasonal cycle you have have Spring and Autumn detox programs available so that people from all corners of the globe could have seasonally appropriate practises.

I recently did an interview where one of the primary topics was using yoga for wellness vs. taking prescription medication. While meds are critical in many cases (and I am not knocking the medical system as a whole - they are doing incredible things!) ; I feel that prescritpion meds are over used (and Abused) to a large degree.
Let's face it, pills are very very big business. To me, practicing yoga is a highly effective and integral part of the path in helping us to address the root - the source - of an illness. As we clear and strengthen our bodies-minds in a holistic way, and live with stronger awareness of body and mind; we begin to notice how what we are doing affects our state of being, our breath, our emotions, our posture etc; and how everything is intricately connected.
Let's say, for example, that stress is the cause of our digestive disorders, or headaches, or mood swings (which is exceedingly common in today's world). Rather than take a pill for that one particular ailment, which is a manifestation of the way our body/mind has reacted to the prolonged perceived stressor(s), why not address our patterns, our perceptions, our environment, and our diet and lifestyle - to decrease or eliminate the stress. Or simply to handle it in a different way.
Wouldn't this be wiser than taking a pill that may address the symptom alone? Not to mention that pills may have potential negative side effects running far beyond the gamut of the system of the body that we are trying to heal? Wouldn't it be wiser to look at the source, to address what needs to change within ourselves, so that our Whole self, can heal? If removing the root cause of the ailment - won't our entire self, and entire life, be transformed?
I was reading an article in Time Magazine last week about how Medical Plans in the US are starting to include Wellness and Lifestyle as part of annual health benefits, rather than just the old school standard. This is a big step for us all!
I totally agree! I can say that doing yoga and working on my posture is FUNDAMENTAL for my wellbeing!!!! I have neck problems and work all day at the computer, I therefore suffered of terrible headaches before practicing regularly yoga. I am very careful with my posture especially while I work and do yoga almost everyday. Now I feel good and have rare headaches, doing yoga makes me really happy!!!! :)

What is wellness, really?
I used to think wellness was a low fat muffin with no margerine, a salad from a semi-fast food restaurant with dressing in the side, a cup of coffee with sweet and low, low fat milk. Ha. And if I was lucky, some cardio on a stairmaster, between the occasional social cigarette. I suppose that was because I was very young at the time (though age may have nothing to do with it), and my primary 'health' goal at that point was to be thin.
Thin and healthy are certainly not the same thing. Was I not aware of how my energy, my mood was affected? Of the inevitable crash that found me feeling listless and mundane when the sugar and carbs were past their prime? Or that my body was not getting any real nourishment from the food I was consuming, or from the way I was breathing for that matter, as I ate it semi-slouched over at my usual the booth at the restaurant?
In so many ways, Yoga has been a profound transformation for me. Not only in terms of getting into 'shape', which is just par for the course, but of a gateway to awareness in general. The body-mind awareness that comes from a regular hatha yoga practice extends off of the mat in infinite ways; one of those being that we truly begin to notice how we actually feel, and how what we put into our body, what we surround ourselves with, actually affects us.
It just goes hand in hand with being a self aware person. Yoga is the gateway to a deeper level of awareness. The more we practice, the more we know exactly what we need to come back into balance. Whether this is what we consume in terms of food, entertainment, quality of air and water, the people and energies around us, how we hold and carry our body - we become guided by our instincts and intuitions, our source, as if this part of ourselves has been re-awoken after having drifted slowly to sleep as we evolved through childhood and the teenage years.
I'll pass on the muffin.. Pass me some kale salad with a handful of almonds. I will never be able to go back to how I ate food before. If there isn't a certain amount of nutrient value in a pure (ie no additives, preservatives and other gunk) in what i am eating, I feel it right away.
At this point, I am a self proclaimed Prana junkie. Prana being the life force, the balanced energy and clarity that manifests as we find ourselves, find true wellness. Wellness starts from within, and wellness starts, with awareness.
I used to think that healthy was running 14km a day and the more aerobics classes the merrier... hello burnout! Years later, my yoga practise has lead me down an ever-evolving path and hopefully my body and mind will just keep on getting younger and wiser :-) I remember when yoga started getting relly big and was bit of a fad and a friend complained to me that so many people are doing yoga and it is such a fad and all the spirituality seemed to have been stripped from the original teachings of yoga... but I think, what a great fad and a little bit is better than none, there is only so much you can explore within yourself every session anyway! How great that there has finally been a productive and spiritually and physically beneficial fad as opposed to 'orange diets' or 'protien only' diets... finally a wholistic fad that offers only greater opportunity...

Yep. There are so many nayayers about how yoga is not 'spiritual enough' etc. Maybe some people just like to be the 'critic'? And are those people being 'spiritual' by being so critical? Maybe they just like to sit on a high horse and think again and again about how knowledgeable they are, how evolved they are as a person, haha.. Then they can jump back in a few minutes later and say "that is not 'Real' yoga". I have seen so many people begin yoga with the hope of attaining something physical - like better abs, or losing 10 lbs - so they head to the nearest gym. But then, they find there is much more to the practice, and notice how they feel on the inside. They begin to become intensely aware of their thoughts, their emotions, what they eat, how they breathe, and how these things are all connected. And there they go, off to practice more yoga, and they end up heading down a completely new path. One with much more awareness on many levels. One that has peeled back a lot of the layers. One that is able to be more present, and to give more to the world around them. One that can innately sense when things are out of balance, and begin to know what to do to find balance again - from within.
Is that 'real' enough for you? Is that 'spiritual' enough?. Whoever says it isn't should probably go practice some more yoga.

Two women fight near South View infant and junior schools
Updated 4:38pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Chris Gregory, Senior Reporter
A WOMAN has been arrested after a fight near a school site in Basingstoke.
The fight between two women took place between 12.30pm and 1.30pm on Sunday, January 5 on a path by Jefferson Road, South View, towards the back of the South View infant and junior schools area.
It is believed members of the public intervened when they saw the two women arguing and fighting, and officers are keen to speak to them.
Two teenage girls helped one of the women and a man also intervened.
A 21-year-old woman from Andover has been arrested in connection with this incident and is currently in police custody.
Anyone with information can contact PC Lisa Graham at Basingstoke police station on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

As it happens I was one of the people that witnessed these two women fighting. In fact I intervened and pushed them apart. I told them to behave themselves and reminded them that they were in a public place, The response was typical with the word 'f**k being used. Charming when you consider that the only other witnesses were two nicely spoken teen aged girls. Classic bit of Basingstoke ignorant, vicious and foul mouthed behaviour. Nice.... and a sad reflection on the society we have turned into
Not, may I remind you a suitable subject for flippant comments?

There is no food. I am suffering. They only give us a little bit of sorghum. How can I be happy? I think a lot about my country. I don't think I'm sick, but I think a lot about what happened. The sadness has entered into my heart.
Sometimes, I go to look for wood. But if I see anyone on the way, I go back to the camp. They yell at me, "Leave the wood." There's only me on my ration card, so I don't get enough wood.
I live here with my husband and grandchildren and daughter-in-law, the wife of my son who was killed.
There is no food. The NGOs are giving us things, but not enough food.
If there's peace and security in Darfur, I will go back. But not now – it's still not safe. I'm not free now.
Tell people about how much we suffered in Darfur when we were attacked. They took our property, killed many people, and took our land.
Sometimes in the night, I think about what happened and start to cry.

InterNations Featured Blog
Recommended Expat Blogs: Hong Kong
Everybody who has spent time in a different country knows that expat life is not quite like anything else in the world. The confusion of the first few days and weeks, the slow, but steady process of acclimation, the little peculiarities and quirks that might strike you about your new surroundings: almost any situation you encounter can make for a great story. If you are so inclined and want to blog about it, of course!
Our InterNations recommended blog section features talented expat bloggers from around the world. Their offerings to the blogosphere have been selected for their great entries and high quality, whether they may be funny, informative, interesting, deeply personal or a combination of all of the above.
Let's hear from our featured bloggers in Hong Kong:
Jennifer: Expat Lingo
Hong Kong is pretty saturated with expats so it's actually relatively difficult to fall in with people. Good if you like your anonymity, but hard if you're trying to make friends. Zhuhai was small and tight and we very quickly fell in with the very welcoming expat crowd (at that time, if you ever saw a non-Chinese person you automatically waved, because you most likely already knew them). As everywhere, drinking or having school age kids helps you connect more quickly with others.
Roald: Being Dutch in Asia
I hope that my point of view about the life here will inspire people in Hong Kong to look at things differently. When you are living your daily routine life and doing the things you've always done to achieve happiness and wealth and a good future, you forget that sometimes you need to take a break, and look at things from a different perspective.
Gillian: Hong Kong Blog
Hong Kong is super hectic, so make sure you are well prepared for rushing your way through the crowd. Otherwise, the locals would start shoving to get past you. Change is not only inevitable in Hong Kong, it also happens in a lightening speed, so the quaint shop around the corner you visited just yesterday might be gone tomorrow. Best of all, this city is strategically situated right in the middle of Asia, so take advantage of your time here, and travel around!
Lesley: Lesley in Hong Kong
After living in the Middle East for 12 years prior to arriving in Hong Kong I found it quite easy to settle here. I was quite shocked when I arrived though because, for a start I had never been here before, and I really thought it would be much more British as it was a colony for 150 years. I was very surprised at how 'Chinese' it is.
Bronwyn: Hello Hong Kong, Bronwyn has Landed!
I visited Hong Kong for the first time in February 2012 for 6 weeks and that is when I experienced the biggest Culture Shock. I hated the city at first, it was too intense and overwhelming, the chaos and constant bustle meant I could never relax.
Nicole: Mint Mocha Musings
Whilst there are lots of expats in Hong Kong and it's easy to live well here, there are also lots of very local pockets where the cultural difference is huge. I still experience culture shock on a daily basis but that's what I love about living overseas.
Brittany: Blogging with Chinese Characteristics
Be sure to take advantage of all the low-cost flights.. you can really see so much of Asia from here without needing a whole lot of money or vacation time if you use your weekends wisely and lookout for good deals. I've flown to the Philippines or Thailand for less than US$200 roundtrip. You can get even better deals if you can plan well in advance. Find out what all the local airlines are, many of them won't show up on a major search site like Kayak or Expedia.
Stewart: What I Did In Hong Kong
To be honest, life in Hong Kong can be as foreign or as familiar as you make it. You can really seek out 'Chinese' experiences, or hang around bars with only Western faces. I've not really experienced culture shock at all.
Cameron: Expat Antipodean
Back home in New Zealand there are a lot less people and life is much more relaxed – so pretty much the opposite of life in Hong Kong! I have been an expat a third of my life now. I find after the initial adjustment period, I am accustomed to settling in fairly quickly.

Fed Hike or 'Putin Put'? Factors Affecting Gold
The price of spot gold edged towards a two-month low Friday as analysts weighed factors that have been causing the commodity to trade in a tight range.
The price of spot gold edged towards a two-month low Friday as analysts weighed factors that have been causing the commodity to trade in a tight range.
Global gold demand fell sharply in the second quarter as prices steadied following exceptional circumstances in the same period last year, a report shows.
Because ETFs are baskets of assets, they tend to reflect market fundamentals, not "noise." Here's what the best so far in 2014 tell us about the trends.
We asked 30 popular personal finance bloggers for their best money tips. What we got was such a wealth of good advice, we couldn't fit it in one column.
Investing is just one of the six circles of wealth -- a vital one, yes, but one that must be balanced with the others to create a financial fortress.
Bored with the usual financial advisers? Lend an ear to Ron Swanson, Jack Donaghy and Dwight Schrute, and you'll get some good money tips between laughs.
Gold fell 1 percent Monday as expectations that U.S. interest rates could rise in early 2015 supported the dollar and prompted investors to cash in on gains.
Gold rose Friday ahead of a series of speeches by Federal Reserve officials but was still on track for its biggest weekly fall since November.
So far in 2014, though, the benchmark indexes have struggled to make progress, while much stronger returns have come from an unexpected corner of the financial markets: gold.
Many wealthy investors are pouring a growing share of their fortunes into "treasure assets" such as rare coins. And while those investments may be risky, they are paying off.
Thousands of years of faith in the value of gold has made it a popular investment, but modern technology will eventually render it practically worthless.
Gold prices will remain listless for the remainder of the year as investors await more visibility on when the Federal will start cutting bond purchases, analysts say.
Here's a quick rundown from the world of business and economics this morning: the things you need to know, and some you'll just want to know.
The spot gold price may have baffled investors since its move south last December, but analysts at Citi now see the precious metal being a leading indicator of U.S. Treasurys.
Goldman Sachs predicts a "significant decline" in gold in 2014, following losses of around 26 percent in the previous metal so far this year.
It looks like America may dodge the default bullet and the government may shortly reopen for business. Here are a few who will be sad to see us skip an economic Armageddon.
The government shutdown looks to be bad news for everyone -- everyone, that is, except for the gold investors who thrive on uncertainty.
Gold prices eased Monday on expectations the Federal Reserve will press on with some tapering of monetary stimulus in the near future.
As investors shun risk assets such as emerging market equities and currencies, gold is quietly gaining traction, clawing its way back up to around $1,400.
It is silver's time to shine after the precious metal climbed for seven straight sessions to notch gains not seen in nearly five years.
Gold has staged a big rally lately, up more than 13 percent since it hit a near three-year low in late June. So, is investor sentiment towards the metal about to shift again?
The price of gold is on a tear and some analysts say the precious metal's rebound has much farther to go.
European shares rose Friday and the dollar steadied in the wake of reassuring comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve on its stimulus program.
July 11, 2013: U.S. equity markets opened higher this morning, cheered by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's speech after markets closed night. In Asia, the...
Gold jumped to a near three-week high Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled it would continue to pursue monetary stimulus.
The U.S. stock market closed higher after a bumpy start, with investors encouraged by a big uptick in hiring. The Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 each rose by about 1 percent.
World shares hit their highest level in a week Friday and bonds and oil rose after two U.S. central bankers moved to calm fears of an early withdrawal of monetary stimulus.
World financial markets were calm Wednesday helping stocks to eke out gains for the second day running.
After rising for 12 consecutive years, gold has entered a bear market having plunged more than 20 percent from its all-time high in 2011.
Deutsche Bank, one of the world's largest dealers of gold, has begun storing bullion in the Singapore FreePort, a flashy facility that's part bunker, part gallery.
