Review quote
"This pocket-sized book is logically organized in an organ-specific, then disease-specific manner. All areas of endocrinology, including pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, gonadal, bone, lipids, diabetes, and genetic syndromes are covered. The bulleted formatting and bold highlights simply but efficiently convey high-yield points. The selective use of graphs and tables is appropriate. Each chapter's reference section is quite useful." "This is likely the most comprehensive pocket-sized reference for endocrinology. With the rate at which medical knowledge and research is rapidly expanding, this edition is a welcome and necessary update." Doody's Reviews Jessica Hwang, MD(University of Chicago Medical Center) Weighted Numerical Score: 90 - 4 Stars!

Daniel Beneš
We are changing our strategy
Our strategy is our response to changes the energy sector is undergoing. We talk to CEO Daniel Beneš about what caused the changes and what lies ahead of us.
ČEZ Management Meeting – The world of energy changes radically
Fast, difficult-to-predict development of new technologies; clear trend towards partially decentralized energy production; and, last but not least, currently non-functional and hardly predictable market regulation – these are the main factors that affect CEZ Group's strategy.
CEO Awards 2014 winners announced
The 11th annual CMM this October traditionally included the announcement of CEO Awards winners. This year, the award of honour for the most significant contribution to improved performance at CEZ Group was awarded to one team and two of our colleagues.
We kept driving safely this year
The second annual "Driving Safely, Protecting Lives, Saving Money" campaign organized by ČEZ Korporátní služby is over. It took place from June to September.
We support
Watch Tales of Unusual Energy
In November, Czech TV will be airing eight documentaries about people that decided to use their energy to help where needed, entitled "Tales of Unusual Energy". CEZ Group is a co-producer of the series; ČEZ Foundation will give financial aid to projects that will receive the most SMS votes from viewers.
Electricians for electricians
It has been five years since the inception of a unique project under which a team of electrical engineers assembled under the auspices of Human Resources Development to jointly create an Electrician's Guide.
10 questions
Andrzej Martynek
This time we asked ten questions of Andrzej Martynek, head of Mergers, Acquisitions and Equity Interest.
On a visit
Node under reconstruction
The transformer station in Albrechtice near Karviná is an important power node that supplies electricity to businesses and households in Havířov, Karviná, Orlová and Český Těšín. It is undergoing an extensive reconstruction.

Manchester Crimewatch: Man accused of writing company checks to himself
Court documents show Gates cashed two of the checks at Wal-Mart on Keller Street and cashed one at Joseph Brothers Market, 196 Lake Ave. But when he tried to cash a second check at Joseph Brothers, which had been notified the first check was a forgery, he left the store, leaving behind both the check and his ID.
A city teen, accused of taking part in the planning or execution of the robbery of a student at Memorial High School, was arraigned Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
The criminal complaint alleges Reyes assaulted one youth while his companion robbed another Feb. 1 at One Crusader Way.
Says she's not his ex
Benjamin Harding, 31, of 6 Craig Dr., Merrimack, pleaded innocent Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault that alleges he told an ex-girlfriend, while he was at a Karatzas Avenue address, that he was going to get a gun and put it to her head.
Bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring contact with the alleged victim. But a police prosecutor said there is a warrant from Hillsborough County Superior Court for Harding, because he owes more than $600 in fines.
Megan Latanowich, 25, of 12 Knight St., pleaded innocent Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to charges of disobeying a police officer and contempt of court. Latanowich is accused of giving a false name to an officer when he stopped the vehicle she was driving on Union Street earlier Thursday.
A police prosecutor said Latanowich waived a probable cause hearing March 12 on a robbery charge, which was bound over to the Rockingham County North grand jury.
ID fraud alleged
A woman accused of using a stolen driver's license and Social Security card to lease/purchase almost $3,000 worth of furniture from a Mammoth Road store Wednesday, was arraigned Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on felony charges of ID fraud and attempted theft by deception and a misdemeanor of receiving stolen property. The license and card had been reported stolen to Portsmouth Police.
She pleaded innocent to the misdemanor charge of receiving stolen property and trial was set for May 21. Bail was set at $5,000 cash/surety on the Manchester charges, with conditions barring her from the furniture store and from contact with the owner of the stolen identification.

The Istria region
The Adriatic below the Alps, central Europe's closest Mediterranean. This miniature heart-shaped world and the largest peninsula of the Adriatic Sea lies on the 45th parallel emphasizing its idyllic geographical position with perfectly arranged seasons - lush greenery springs, colourful autumns, pleasant summers and mild winters...
In the past, Vodnjan-Dignano was an important urban center and so today this town is an interesting destination especially for those who love art and culture. Walking around the old part of town you'll surprised by the multitude of buildings from different periods: Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. To emphasize the family palace Bettiza, the popular Castle, built in 1300, now houses the museum. Very interesting is the parish church of St. Biagio whose bell is by far the highest in Istria (62 meters). In the church are preserved mummified bodies of saints and a collection of relics. The village of Peroj, situated on the south-western coast of southern Istria, with a beautiful view of the Fažana-Fasana Channel and the Brijuni Archipelago. The architecture of the old nucleus reminds of other Istrian towns and villages with old stone houses with balconies. The surrounding areas of Barbariga were densely populated in the ancient times that is evidenced by numerous archeological findings-rests on the coast as well as in the hinterland. The remains of a Roman villa from the 1st century were found on the coast and in the immediate vicinity the remains of an ancient oil mill for processing olives.

''Nobunaga's Ambition'' is a strategy game series made by {{Koei}}, the first installment being released in 1983. The game puts you in the role of a ''daimyō'' in [[JidaiGeki Sengoku-era Japan]], your goal being to unify the country and earn (or with one clan, keep) the title of ''Shōgun''. As long as this series remains largely unchronicled in the West, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobunaga_no_Yabou article]] on {{Wikipedia}} has a brief history of the series you might find relevant. Thirteen main-series games have been released in Japan, scattered across [[MultiPlatform an army of platforms]].
A crossover game titled ''VideoGame/PokemonConquest'', featuring elements from ''Nobunaga[='s=] Ambition'' and ''{{Pokemon}}'', was released by Nintendo and Tecmo Koei on March 17th, 2012 in Japan. Fans went wild, especially from the ''Pokémon'' side of things possibly due to the DarkerAndEdgier crossover aspects.
This game series provides examples of:
* AwesomeMusic: YokoKanno for an early titles.
* BadAss: Some of the generals qualify easily. Azai Nagamasa and Sanada Yukimura can easily shoot up the ranks when in cavalry units.
* CrossOver: ''Pokémon Conquest''. Standard NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer applies.
* GenderFlip: The latest title in the series has a female version of Uesugi Kenshin, based on a popular legend that tries to explain some aspects of his behavior and historical accounts
* MultiPlatform: This series has hit most of the popular consoles since the {{NES}}, a few that weren't, a bunch of (rarely mutually compatible) 1980s Japanese PC brands, and most iterations of Windows since the 1990s. Also a couple of ports for Macintosh, and one for Amiga.
* NameOrderConfusion: Like the ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' games, in English translations, it's written in first name-last name order despite this being in Sengoku era.
* NintendoHard: In the {{NES}} version, it's possible on higher difficulties to die before your first turn.
* NoExportForYou: Of 13 games, only five have been released in the United States. There was a 14-year window with no North American releases between the SNES game ''Lord of Darkness'' and the [=PS2=] ''Rise to Power''.
** [[FanMyopia Which are still five more than Europe got]].
*** [[MarthDebutedInSmashBros Nobunaga Debuted in Pokémon]]: Pokémon Conquest has a European release - the first Nobunaga's Ambition game released there.
*** Or, more accuratly, a UK release.
* SpinOff: The ''DynastyWarriors''-based ''SamuraiWarriors''. It may have been instrumental in getting a U.S. release for ''Rise to Power'' and ''Iron Triangle''.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Just as in ''VideoGame/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'', you can execute captured generals (or even your own retainers) on a whim.
* {{Video Game Long Runner|s}}: Fourteen main releases since 1983, not counting all the little differences between ports. Not so many as its sister series, but still respectable.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
NHL Must Earn Us Back
by Paul on 07/17/05 at 11:11 PM ET
Comments (0)
Welcome back, NHL. Savor that salutation, since it beats an icy stare. The sports world didn't stop spinning just because you left. It just grew colder. You will find some of your abandoned territory colonized by other sports entities. You will also find your place card at professional sports' G8 summit removed, replaced by Annika Sorenstam's 8-iron, as the LPGA has joined the NFL, MLB, NBA, PGA, NASCAR, ATP and WTA at the table.more...
Now I must say here in Detroit, talk like this does not exist. How about your town?

Rich sipping rum of remarkable complexity and flavour, one of the best I've ever had out of Jamaica. (#182. 80/100) Rum Nation's Supreme Lord VI (the Jamaican 26 year old 2012 edition by any other name) is as good as its 2010 brother, if not actually surpassing it. It shows what can be done with an aged rum if time and care and patience – and some artistry – is brought to bear. I loved the Supreme Lord V, which I reviewed a while back – and I must say, the VI does dial it up a few notches. [Click here for the full review…]
Velier Skeldon 1973 Full Proof 32 Year Old Rum – Review
It's official. Velier has raised the bar for super premium rums, with an extraordinary 32-year old blast from the past that will excavate a punt-wide trench in your wallet if you ever find one. (#181. 87/100) The 544-bottle run of the Skeldon 1973 Old Demerara Rum has, since being released in 2005, become something of an object of cult worship. In 2012 a single bottle went for sale on eBay for close to €500. I searched for three years before I found a gent in France willing to part with his (and at a cost I'm glad my wife [Click here for the full review…]
Velier Port Mourant 1974 Full Proof 33 Year Old Rum – Review
A worthy addition to the Port Mourant canon. A magnificent, excellently rich and fruity full-proof rum. (#180. 81/100) *** Allowances should be made for my personal palate: I do believe that rum deriving from the Port Mourant still in Guyana may be among the very best available, largely because the distillate runs through the only wooden still in the world. This provides the rum with a depth of flavour and richness that I have consistently scored high in all its iterations: Berry Brothers & Rudd 1975, the El Dorado 21 and 25 (PM forms part of the blend), Bristol [Click here for the full review…]
Poor rums. They always get a bad rap. That piratical background, the snootiness of the whisky world (and my friends, who cast me the pitying glances reserved for congenital defectives, every time I trot out a new and favoured libation). The classiness perceived of all things British. The purported complexity of the Scottish brew, the Russian tipple, or the Mexican hooch. We who sing of the pleasures of the cane just don't get no respect. Sometimes I feel like a go-player in a chess world. But you know, for a long time whiskies, tequilas, vodkas et al, took back seat [Click here for the full review…]
These three rums are aged curiosities. There's one from the 60s, and two from the 70s. Information on their origins is maddeningly obscure. The labels are crap, and the corks aged and faded and cracked by decades of rough handling. There's never been a review of any that I was able to find, and their makers are likely long gone. Yet these three bottles exist, and if for no reason than their history, I review them here, make what remarks I can, score them as best I'm able. Italy in these days is no stranger to rums, of course. [Click here for the full review…]
Velier Blairmont 1991 Full Proof 15 Year Old Rum – Review
A paradox of rum, marrying a lighter than expected profile with a stunningly intense full proof taste, compliments of the House of Luca (#179. 81/100) *** When I first poured a shot of the Velier Blairmont 1991 15 year old rum into my glass (after having waited over a year and a half for the privilege), I immediately remarked its colour: a straw coloured light amber rum. After sampling five other Veliers in the past year, all of which were dark, brawny, bearded beefcakes, this came as something of a surprise. According to the literature on the bottle, seven [Click here for the full review…]
Ron Barceló Imperial – Review
A subtle, supple rum, undone by a lack of courage (#178. 68/100) *** Consider for a moment my score on the Barceló Imperial. A 68 rating for me is a pretty good rum. For a premium product, it's something of a surprise – so here I should state straight out that that score reflects primarily its lesser proof, not its intrinsic quality. Frankly, it should have been higher. When I originally read the Barceló Imperial review from Josh Miller at Inu A Kena, I immediately fired off post on his site to ask him whether he got the 38% version [Click here for the full review…]
Those who know me personally (both of you, ha ha) are aware that I'm upping anchor to another part of the world. After living and/or working on five continents, I'm relocating to the Middle East as of August 2013. This implies not only a total readjustment of my family life, but a consideration of the impact it will have on the updates I can make to this site. In fine, I will have to cease writing rum reviews on a consistent basis for the foreseeable future, as sourcing alcohol of any kind will be next to impossible (and I don't [Click here for the full review…]
DDL Superior High Wine – Review
The DDL Superior High Wine is not superior and not a wine, but will get you high without breaking a sweat. (#177. 58/100) *** One of the first rums I ever had as a young man was this one, and the last time I drank was it nearly thirty years ago, when I was thinking of dropping out of University, depressed about my future, and downing a whole raft of shooters in a small beer garden one still, hot afternoon, with a bowl 'ice and my one-armed friend from UG. A few weeks later my life changed and put [Click here for the full review…]
Wood's 100 Old Navy Rum – Review
Rich, simply flavoured, overproofed Navy-style rum that has a skinnier corpus than expected (#176. 60/100) *** There's nothing much I can tell you about Wood's Rum Distillery itself because there's not much online about it (and my books barely speak to the big names so what hope is there for the small ones?), but the brand did exist for over a century before being acquired by William Grant in 2002 – these are the boys who also own Sailor Jerry and the OVD rum brands and supposedly dabble in minor whiskies like Glenfiddich and Balvenie (or so rumour has [Click here for the full review…]

Air Jordan 1 "Black Friday" by JBF Customs by Patrick Johnson 2 Comments
These are some of the nicest Jordan mids I've seen in a minute
June 18, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 3
Is there any chance that this Air Jordan 1 Mid colorway is not a "True Blue" homage? We'd be hard pressed to imagine a situation in which someone could cook up the white/fire red/true blue/cement grey combination complete with the elephant print attached and not be thinking "Air Jordan III", but perhaps they were going for the patriotic look instead. Theme or not it's a solid shoe, on that we'd expect to be one of the more popular non-OG branded joints for the summer. Continue reading to get the official images and tell us in the comments if you're feeling the Air Jordan 1 Mid "True Blue" and cop now at Premier.

Return of the Garifuna
... plastic bottles that one finds in every home in Honduras.
Somehow the powers that be got two judges to sign writs of eviction against the Garifuna without due regard for property title or the rights of the Garifuna as communal land owners. Judges are routined removed from office when they rule against government initiatives, so getting these illegal court orders to legitimize the operation was probably not difficult but those judges are not available ...

Fire crews made quick work of a house fire, near 33rd and California, Thursday night. The call came out at 10:30.
Firefighters said the single family house sustained heavy fire and smoke damage throughout the structure. Thermal damage was contained to a bedroom and living room. Investigators said there were no smoke detectors inside the house.
The person living in the house was not there when the fire started. The Red Cross responded to the scene and will help the person living in the home find temporary shelter.

It can consist of a logbook only, or you may find a treasure inside (you can take one, but be sure to leave one too in that case). All you need is a gps device such as on a phone. Learn how to get started and see if you can find a geocache in or near the library!

Well here's something we haven't done forever! I hope you missed it, because we're giving Heroes of the Storm loving once more with some hero spotlights. A long time ago, we looked at Nova, the sneaky ghost who excels at sniping off weaker targets. This week we will check out Anub'arak, the traitor king from the Warcraft universe.
So it's an open secret that a few of the team are currently jamming Sunset Overdrive to ensure we give you lovely girls and boys a full review in time for release. It is also no surprise that we are totally locked under embargo and can't really say anything yet.
True survival horror games have been dead for a long time. But much like the unkillable antagonists of your favourite slasher flicks, the genre is once again rising from the dead. Amongst the new generation of such titles on the way, is The Evil Within. It's a psychological attack mixed with pants-staining thrills and chills. So what's it actually all about then?
Around this time last week I was getting ready to board a plane. I very briefly visited the land of bangers and mash, mushy peas and fish, for a little sneak preview of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. I got a little hands-on time with the multiplayer and a good look at one of the early single-player missions. I walked away a little conflicted.
For fans of the Civilization franchise, and particularly old school fans of Alpha Centauri, Civilization: Beyond Earth is one of the most anticipated strategy games of the year. It's a must play for any fan of Civilization games, but I'm hoping that Firaxis fixes a bunch of things before the game ships next month.
It's that time of the week again! Last week I covered Stiches, the disgusting abomination. This week we move over to the Starcraft universe and look at Nova, the sneaky ghost. That's right, your request to have her in the spotlight has finally been fulfilled!
It's that time of the week again! Last week I covered Murky the Murloc. We're sticking with the Warcraft universe again this week and looking at Stitches, the absolutely disgusting abomination.
It's that time of the week again! Last week I covered Valla the Demon Hunter from Diablo III. This week we move over to the Warcraft universe, focusing on the ridiculously cute Murky the Murloc.
Gamescom is slowly fading into memory, but we have one last bit of reporting for you - the promised hands-on preview for Civilization: Beyond Earth. I savored every second with the game, and it's even better that you can imagine.
Don't lie, I know you all missed this feature dearly! Last time I told you all about Zagara, the broodmother from StarCraft II who excels at sieging and being a general nuisance thanks to all the Zerg units at her disposal.
I rather enjoyed WildStar. It's the first MMORPG I've ever played where I kept wanting to go back to explore, plus it's really fun! Nexus has loads of wacky ideas and enemies packed into it, and it's going to grow a little bigger. There is some new content on the way.
I really saw and did a lot at Gamescom. There was tons of gameplay footage and demos of upcoming games, as well as interviews with the people who helped create them. What I lacked was actual hands-on game time. I was quite chuffed on our last day, because my very last appointment was for Dying Light, a game I've been excited for since it was announced.
I will be perfectly honest. The last Call of Duty I dedicated a fair amount of time to was Black Ops, way back in 2010. I hadn't really paid any attention to the upcoming entry, at least not until I was whisked off to the multiplayer reveal, shortly after landing in Cologne, Germany. Will this be the entry that shakes up the formula?

Live Web Event with Scott Hahn
Catholic PRWire
EVENT: Author Scott Hahn will host a LIVE online video chat to discuss his latest book, Consuming the Word and answer questions from the viewing audience.
WHEN: 8 p.m. Eastern, Wednesday, June 5, 2013.
WHERE: The event is open to the public and can be accessed online at www.imagecatholicbooks.com/livestream
FORMAT: Dr. Hahn will open with general comments about the book and his reasons for writing it, then will take questions from participants through the livestream chat room.
In Consuming the Word: The New Testament and the Eucharist in the Early Church (May 28, 2013, Image Books), Dr. Scott Hahn examines some of Christianity's most basic terms and what they meant to the sacred authors, the apostolic preachers, and their first hearers.
At a time when the Church is embarking on a New Evangelization, Hahn shows us that if we read the Scriptures �in the Spirit in which they were written,� as the Church tells us we must, their religious meaning grows deeper and larger.
Key points include:
�Reveals the New Testament as a sacrament and not simply a document.
�Makes the connection between the Bible and the liturgy and explains why consuming the Word of God makes us hunger for the words of God.
�Looks at the importance of origin in Scripture with a tie-in to the New Evangelization.
Dr. Scott W. Hahn holds the Fr. Michael Scanlan Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he has taught since 1990, and is the Founder and President of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. In 2005, he was appointed as the Pope Benedict XVI Chair of Biblical Theology and Liturgical Proclamation at St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Dr. Hahn is also the bestselling author of numerous books including The Lamb�s Supper, Reasons to Believe, and Rome Sweet Home (co-authored with his wife, Kimberly) and is editor of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible and Letter & Spirit: A Catholic Journal of Biblical Theology. Some of his most recent books are Many Are Called, Hope for Hard Times, The Catholic Bible Dictionary, and Signs of Life. He lives in Steubenville, Ohio.

California blue whales rebound from whaling; first of their kin to do so
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News and Information
Posted under: , , ,
The number of California blue whales has rebounded to near historical levels, according to new research by the University of Washington, and while the number of blue whales struck by ships is likely above allowable U.S. limits, such strikes do not immediately threaten that recovery.
This is the only population of blue whales known to have recovered from whaling – blue whales as a species having been hunted nearly to extinction.
A California blue whale 65-feet-long swims off Baja California. California blue whales are also known as eastern North Pacific blue whales.
Blue whales – nearly 100 feet in length and weighing 190 tons as adults – are the largest animals on earth. And they are the heaviest ever, weighing more than twice as much as the largest known dinosaur, the Argentinosaurus. They are an icon of the conservation movement and many people want to minimize harm to them, according to Trevor Branch, UW assistant professor of aquatic and fishery sciences.
"The recovery of California blue whales from whaling demonstrates the ability of blue whale populations to rebuild under careful management and conservation measures," said Cole Monnahan, a UW doctoral student in quantitative ecology and resource management and lead author of a paper on the subject posted online Sept. 5 by the journal Marine Mammal Science. Branch and André Punt, a UW professor of aquatic and fisheries sciences, are co-authors.
California blue whales are at their most visible while at feeding grounds 20 to 30 miles off the California coast, but are actually found along the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean from the equator up into the Gulf of Alaska.
Today they number about 2,200, according to monitoring by other research groups. That's likely 97 percent of the historical level according to the model the co-authors used. That may seem to some a surprisingly low number of whales, Monnahan said, but not when considering how many California blue whales were caught. According to new data Monnahan, Branch and another set of co-authors published earlier this summer in PLOS ONE, approximately 3,400 California blue whales were caught between 1905 and 1971.
"Considering the 3,400 caught in comparison to the 346,000 caught near Antarctica gives an idea how much smaller the population of California blue whales was likely to have been," Branch said.
The catches of blue whales from the North Pacific were unknown until scientists – in particular Yulia Ivashchenko of Southern Cross University in Australia – put on their detective caps and teased out numbers from Russian whaling archives that once were classified as secret but are now public. The numbers Russian whalers had publicly reported at one time were incomplete and inaccurate – something that was admitted in the late 1990s – but there wasn't access to the real numbers until recently.
For the work published in PLOS ONE, the scientists then used acoustic calls produced by the whales to separate – for the first time – the catches taken from the California population from those whales taken in the western Northern Pacific near Japan and Russia. The two populations are generally accepted by the scientific community as being different. Places where acoustic data indicated one group or the other is present were matched with whaling catches.
In the subsequent Marine Mammal Science paper just out, the catches were among the key pieces of information used to model the size of the California blue whale population over time – a model previously used by other groups to estimate populations of hundreds of fish and various other whale species.
The population returning to near its historical level explains the slowdown in population growth, noted in recent years, better than the idea of ship strikes, the scientists said.
J Gilpatrick/M Lynn/NOAA
California blue whales – the cow is 76 feet long and the calf is 47 feet – swim near the California Channel Islands.
There are likely at least 11 blue whales struck a year along the U.S. West Coast, other groups have determined, which is above the "potential biological removal" of 3.1 whales per year allowed by the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act.
The new findings says there could be an 11-fold increase in vessels before there is a 50 percent chance that the population will drop below what is considered "depleted" by regulators.
"Even accepting our results that the current level of ship strikes is not going to cause overall population declines, there is still going to be ongoing concern that we don't want these whales killed by ships," Branch said.
Without ship strikes as a big factor holding the population back – and no other readily apparent human-caused reason (although noise, chemical pollution and interactions with fisheries may impact them) – it is even more likely that the population is growing more slowly because whale numbers are reaching the habitat limit, something called the carrying capacity.
"We think the California population has reached the capacity of what the system can take as far as blue whales," Branch said.
"Our findings aren't meant to deprive California blue whales of protections that they need going forward," Monnahan said. "California blue whales are recovering because we took actions to stop catches and start monitoring. If we hadn't, the population might have been pushed to near extinction – an unfortunate fate suffered by other blue whale populations."
"It's a conservation success story," Monnahan said.
Funding for students working on the research in Branch's lab comes through the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, a collaboration between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and UW.

New Challenges for Science and Industry
June 4, 2014
Article's tools:
The coming years will test how closely science and industry in Poland are able to collaborate. The test will be a difficult one. Without a symbiotic and effective partnership, it will not be possible to create a modern economy.
Close cooperation is especially important at a time when the European Union is rediscovering the importance of innovative industry in the growth of economies—a focus that some commentators have described as the "reindustrialization" of Europe. This issue is receiving increasing attention in the media in both Europe and beyond. The European Commission has set a target for member states under which their industrial and manufacturing sectors are expected to generate a specific percentage of national income by 2020. Poland should have no difficulty meeting this target. Unlike in many other European countries, the industrial and manufacturing sectors remain essential components of the Polish economy.
However, this new industrialization policy poses increasingly stringent requirements when it comes to energy consumption and environmental protection. There is a need for new, improved low-emission and low-carbon technologies. Many traditional technologies need to be upgraded. Keeping the coal sector alive and kicking is worth the effort, but clean coal technology is needed. The same applies to the chemical industry, which must meet new and stricter environmental requirements.
In addition to issuing appeals to member states, the European Commission has created various financial instruments to promote the development of innovative industry. These include Framework Programmes, among them the seven-year Horizon 2020 program for 2014-2020.
The Horizon 2020 program is made up of three main pillars. These are Industrial Leadership, Excellence in Science, and Societal Challenges. The first pillar, with an allocation of around 17 billion euros, is based on research and innovation agendas to be defined by industry and business, and its main aim is to take advantage of private sector investment. This approach will include efforts to promote innovative projects and groundbreaking solutions. Businesspeople who want to increase the level of innovation in their companies will be able to participate in the program. They will have access to debt financing instruments such as loans and guarantees, and to capital financing instruments including venture and mezzanine capital.
Building a strong base for an innovative European industry through the use of Key Enabling Technologies—in fields such as information and communications technology (ICT), nanotechnology, biotechnology, micro- and nano-electronics, photonics, astronomy, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing and processing technologies—will contribute to the emergence of more active small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to the creation of new jobs on the European labor market.
A new financial instrument intended for SMEs called the SME Instrument is particularly interesting. It aims to provide support to all kinds of innovation, including grass-roots innovation. The SME Instrument is a relatively simple and easily accessible funding program. SMEs do not have to create consortiums in order to apply for funds. In other words, businesspeople with an interesting idea will be able to apply for financial support without looking for partners for a given project.
The second pillar of Horizon 2020, Excellence in Science, has an allocation of 2.7 billion euros. This pillar aims to finance international research that improves existing technologies or leads to the development of new Future and Emerging Technologies (FET). The Excellence in Science pillar will sponsor joint technology initiatives to be established as long-term public-private partnerships that will be managed "within dedicated structures" based on Article 187 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Under this article, "the Union may set up joint undertakings or any other structure necessary for the efficient execution of Union research, technological development and demonstration programmes." Examples of such initiatives include Innovative Medicines Initiative 2, Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2, Clean Sky 2, Bio-Based Industries, Electronic Computers and Systems, and SESAR.
Even though the Horizon 2020 program has an impressive budget of 75 billion euros, all member states and associate members will be striving to secure as much funds for themselves as possible, especially as the economic slowdown in EU member states has caused cutbacks in R&D spending.
The Horizon 2020 program provides opportunities to continue work on the European Research Area (ERA). Originally, this was supposed to be established by 2014, but economics and politics have dampened the optimistic forecasts of a few years ago. The rules on participation in Horizon 2020 (there must be beneficiaries from at least three member states) are designed to foster international cooperation and encourage a focus on issues common to all Europeans.
Meanwhile, Polish companies must continue to set aside their own funds for research and development, and not just count on European funds. However, the level of involvement of Polish businesses in R&D, as illustrated by the Business Expenditure on Research and Development (BERD) indicator, though rising, is still lamentably low. In 2012, Polish businesses spent no more than zl.4 billion on R&D, according to Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS). The officially approved BERD target of 0.85 percent of GDP in 2020 will be difficult to achieve without introducing special incentives for businesses. The good news is that, after years of making appeals, the Polish business community has finally managed to convince decision makers to make attempts to develop a system of tax incentives modeled on those in other EU countries.
As a country that is still developing and trying to catch up with Western Europe, Poland benefits from a generous helping of European funds. Under an agreement cleared with the European Commission, Poland will allocate 10.5 billion euros for strengthening research and innovation and the technological development of enterprises. Most of these funds will be spent on business innovation.

Andrew Fernando in Hobart
December 17, 2012
Sri Lanka will have to contend with turn in addition to variable bounce on the final day of the first Test in Hobart, after Rangana Herath credited a surface that was becoming increasingly conducive to spin for his five-wicket haul on day four. Herath's 5 for 96 helped restrict Australia to 278 in the second innings, and was aided by a wearing, cracked surface that offered much more lateral movement for him than in the first innings.
Australia's offspinner Nathan Lyon had already exploited the bowler's footmarks when he bowled earlier in the Test, and dismissed Thilan Samaraweera with a topspinner that leapt off the turf. Lyon is set to have a high workload on day five, with Ben Hilfenhaus' injury leaving Australia a bowler short, and Michael Clarke also unlikely to bowl his left-arm orthodox spin due to a hamstring strain.
Herath will now likely finish as the top wicket-taker in 2012, with 60 wickets and a Test to go. His five-wicket haul in Hobart was his seventh of the year in nine matches.
"I didn't get a wicket in the first innings, but on a fourth day pitch I thought that there would be some assistance for the spinner, and there was some turn and bounce," Herath said. "The ball does not spin as much as Sri Lanka, but if you maintain a good line and length, you can take wickets.
"Lyon will get turn and bounce as well - he always gets bounce because he is tall, and he will have the assistance of the surface as well."
Several seasons of county cricket before he became a mainstay in Sri Lanka's Test side also contributed to his performance in Hobart, he said.
"I used my experience of playing in England. When you get wickets on a pitch like this it's always pleasing. The main thing is that it helped me to adapt to the situation and the pitch, and I managed to do that. That's why I was successful."
Herath said Sri Lanka had not ruled out victory, and backed Sri Lanka's batsmen to see out the final day if a draw seemed the better option. Sri Lanka were set 393 for victory, but lost both openers in the 37 overs before stumps. They will begin at 65 for 2 on day five, with Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara at the crease, and 328 runs required for victory.
"Draw is possible if we can bat the first session without losing wickets, it's going to be an interesting day," he said. "The pitch is a bit up and down, but apart from that it looks a good track so far."
David Warner set out to dominate Herath in the first session of the day, venturing a switch-hit sweep off his bowling after already having struck him for six, but Herath said he did not want a rule change disallowing batsmen from changing their grip, mid-shot.
"Batsmen have done it against my bowling before as well. I don't mind Warner playing that shot because he is creating more chances for me to get him out. In the end I took his wicket."

Press space or enter to progress huh? Well i pressed them both and sorry pal ain't working im hitting the blam this pos and im not going to rate this decently
Not working. The movie doesn't go on when I press "Start" or "Space".

An Experiment in Adjusting an Alcohol-based Reality Filter. The more beer you drink, the more the world seems to make sense. I'm not sure if this is the beer's fault, or the world's.
