Leading Supplier, exporter and Trader of Geotechnical Machine such as Soil Drilling Rig - Hydraulic Type, Standard Penetration Test Set, Core Drilling Rig - Calax Type, Dynamic Cone Penetration Test Set, Piezometer and Soil Bearing Capacity Test Equipment from Navi Mumbai.
The Standard Penetration Test, or SPT, is the most widely used in-situ test, in throughout the world, as an indicator of the density and compressibility of granular soils. It is also commonly used to check the consistency of stiff or stony cohesive soils and weak rocks. Estimation of the liquefaction potential of saturated granular soils for earthquake design is often based on these tests. Available design methods for both shallow and deep foundations rely heavily on SPT results.
• The test consists of driving a standard 50-mm outside diameter thick-walled sampler into soil at the bottom of a borehole, using repeated blows of a 63.5-kg hammer falling through 760 mm. The SPT N value is the number of blows required to achieve a penetration of 300 mm, after an initial seating drive of 150 mm.
• One of the advantages of the test is that it is carried out in routine exploration boreholes of varying diameters, so that (in contrast with other in-situ tests, such as the Cone Penetration Test) there is no need to bring special equipment to site.

Late hours could take hit
Date: December 17, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
When casual-clothing store Jake's Downtown made the surprise announcement last week that it had closed, it not only took with it one of downtown Sarasota's most passionate merchants, but it also claimed the biggest proponent of stores keeping late-night hours.
Some merchants are hoping that the demise of Jake's Downtown doesn't discourage storeowners who were considering keeping later hours.
"It was a blow to morale," said Wendy Getchell, president of the Downtown Sarasota Alliance.
Jake's Downtown owner Andrea Rankin is the former president of the Downtown Merchants Association. In that role, she led a push for merchants to keep their doors open until 9 p.m., saying 40% of her sales came after 5 p.m. and that the 8-to-9 p.m. hour was her single best hour of the day.
Rankin had a few takers, such as Toy Lab and Stitch Boutique, which saw their sales jump at night as well, but most stores continued to keep their usual hours, closing at 5 or 6 p.m.
Getchell said she fears the impact Jake's closure may have on merchants who were on the fence about late-night hours.
"My feeling is until we get everyone on board, it's hard to keep going," she said.
Getchell's Lotus boutique and 16 other stores just started Fashion Night Out, for which the shops stay open until 9 p.m. each Thursday.
She said there have been so many shoppers at night that she is considering shifting her hours to open later in the morning and stay open later at night.
"I always get people at night," she said.
Rankin, meanwhile, is still urging those considering keeping later hours to do it.
"They should not lose hope about staying open late," she said, adding that if not for her late hours she would have had to close sooner. "I had consistent sales at night."

By David Zucchino
Los Angeles Times
The pastor of a tiny, fringe evangelical church in Florida rebuffed a plea for restraint Tuesday from Gen. David Petraeus, who warned that a plan to burn the Muslim holy book could provoke violence against American troops and citizens overseas.
"Instead of possibly blaming us for what could happen, we put the blame where it belongs — on the people who would do it," Pastor Terry Jones of the 50-member Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., told The Associated Press. "We should address radical Islam and send a very clear warning that they are not to retaliate in any form."
Jones also said he was still praying over his decision and hinted that he might change his mind. "We understand the general's concerns and we are taking those into consideration," he told WOFL-TV in Orlando.
A coalition of Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders held a news conference in Washington on Tuesday to condemn Jones' statements and other slurs aimed at Muslims nationwide.
"The threatened burning of copies of the Holy Quran this Saturday is a particularly egregious offense that demands the strongest possible condemnation by all who value civility in public life and seek to honor the sacred memory of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11," said a statement by religious leaders organized by the Islamic Society of North America.
Religious leaders warned that Muslims overseas will misinterpret extremists such as Jones as reflecting mainstream American attitudes toward Muslims. In Afghanistan on Monday, protesters made a point of wrapping an effigy of Jones in an American flag before burning both the effigy and the flag.
Reaction in the Arab news media was more muted, with most commentators and government officials calling on U.S. citizens to honor religious freedom and condemn Jones.
Petraeus, who directs U.S. forces in Afghanistan, seemed concerned that Jones' insults would enrage ordinary Afghans whom his soldiers are trying to win over as they battle Taliban religious extremists.
The general said Monday that images of burning Qurans "would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence."
Weeks of anti-Muslim diatribes by Jones have brought unwelcome publicity to Gainesville, a progressive college town of 125,000 that normally would be focused on the University of Florida's season-opening football game Saturday. Jones' antics have also fed into a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment nationwide as the 9/11 anniversary approaches and U.S. troops continue to die in two wars waged in Muslim nations.
The reverend's threat follows angry protests against a proposed Islamic center two blocks from the ground zero site in New York. In recent weeks, other protesters have objected to planned mosques or Islamic centers in several states, calling them threats to local security.
In Gainesville, news crews have descended on the small stone-and-frame church, located on the city's northern outskirts. Jones' leathery, mustachioed face has delivered fiery condemnations of Islam on TV networks beamed worldwide.
City officials in Gainesville, where Mayor Craig Lowe has called the Dove World Outreach Center "an embarrassment to our community," have vowed to try to prevent Jones from burning anything on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Jones has been denied a burning permit, but says his lawyers have advised him that his First Amendment right to express his beliefs supersedes any local ordinance.
Police and other public safety officials will be on hand Saturday to enforce the city's open burning law, said Bob Woods, Gainesville's communications manager. The ordinance's list of eight classes of items that may not be burned does not specifically include books, but does prohibit the burning of paper.
Asked what the city would do if Jones carried out his threat, Woods replied, "We would respond appropriately. It depends on his actions."
Lowe asked Gainesville residents to "join me in continuing to assert our community's true character" in response to what he called Jones' "offensive behavior."
Jones said he has received more than 100 death threats and now wears a .40-caliber pistol strapped to his hip. FBI agents have visited the preacher to voice concerns for his safety, according to The Associated Press.
The world's leading Sunni Muslim institution, al-Azhar Unversity in Egypt, has accused Jones of fomenting hate and bigotry and has asked American churches to condemn him. Indonesian Muslims have demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, threatening violence if any Qurans are burned.
In 2005, after a report in Newsweek — later amended — that U.S. guards at the Guantanamo Bay prison had flushed a Quran down a toilet, deadly riots broke out in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Muslim world.
For Muslims, the Quran is the word of Allah. The holy book is treated with deep reverence, and any defiling of it is considered a grave offense.
"The holy Quran is sacred, just like the Bible is to Christians," Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi, director of community outreach for the Islamic Society of North America, said in an interview. "Desecration of this book is something people will not tolerate."
Elsanousi said his organization has asked Muslims worldwide not to react violently if Qurans are indeed burned.
The White House said Tuesday it agreed with Petraeus that burning Qurans could endanger U.S. troops overseas, and the State Department called Jones' threat "un-American."
Last week, Jones said burning Qurans "is a message that we have been called to bring forth. And because of that, we do not feel we can back down."
Asked Tuesday about Petraeus' concerns, Jones told the Orlando TV station: "We should be issuing statements to radical Islam telling them this is enough. They better not do anything. If they do, we will answer."
On Labor Day, Jones posed in a dark suit outside his church, next to a portable billboard that read: "International Burn A Koran Day — 9/1 1/2010 — 6 p.m. to 9 p.m."
Jones has written a book titled "Islam is of the Devil," and his church has distributed T-shirts bearing the same message. On the church's website, a "Ten Reasons to Burn the Koran" list discusses the plan to burn Qurans:
"We are using this act to warn about the teaching and ideology of Islam, which we do hate as it is hateful. The world is in bondage to the massive grip of the lies of Islam."
According to the church, supporters have mailed in Qurans to be burned.

I do not agree with you about yeh rishta. Hina Karan are reel life jodi and karan nisha are real life jodi. we cannot compare them. I feel, No one other than Hina could play akshara so beautifully. although I love karnish but hiran makes fabulous pair and they rock as naksh. they are the biggest reason that why yrkkh is so succcessful. so please do not bring karan hina or akshara naitik here as it would only create fights.
and this is my request as a Karan Hina and Karan Nisha fan

- " Really nice. Good space. Two good bedrooms. Nice bathroom. Big TVs. Great location. 3/4 block to the subway. 20 min walking to the train/bus station. "
- 16 Oct 2014 Bruno Jose Brazil
- " The staff was nice, the hostel was at a 20 mn walk from the Capitole. It rained so we did not really enjoy the rooftop. The idea of the pancake mix is good but the pans are old and your pancakes often finish fried in oil or burnt :/ The beds were good. "
- 11 Oct 2014 Anonymous France
- " No mirror, no table, no chair, no private locker in the room. The bed was old, not springy anymore and the spring touched my backbone when I slept. The doors were creaky. The nearest bathroom was not tidy and no mirror. The kitchen was OK. The storage "room" after checking out is not a room, but just a space, where everyone can freely see/touch the luggages there. The location was not bad. "
- 07 Oct 2014 Eriko
- " Nice, clean place to stay. Located extremely close to main areas of DC. "
- 01 Oct 2014 James USA
- " Sarah was amazing, so accomodating, helpful, friendly and hospitable! She gave me tons of advice on how to enjoy my short trip. Each room has a lock with a code you need to know, same for the entrance door, so it felt pretty safe. My female dorm was very clean and well maintained, with lockers, enough space and a window. I saw the housekeeping taking good care of the bathrooms cleaning, and in general I felt it was cleaner than your average hostel. Cool rooftop patio and convenient location. "
- 23 Sep 2014 Anonymous Russia
- " Awesome place to stay really convenient location walking distance of everything you need + monuments museums ect, staff were incredible good facility's with roof top pattio and great social atmosphere "
- 09 Aug 2014 Alexander Australia
- " Though the hostel was very concerned about street shoes not being worn to keep the floor clean, my room (a 6-bed female dorm) was very dusty on all surfaces. It wasn't clear how to make the free pancakes that are offered (no signage that I could see). The shower had almost no water pressure, and sink was so small I could barely wash my face. The only time I saw a staff member was when I checked in. "
- 28 Jun 2014 Anonymous USA
- " The first staff person was a bit off-hand, treating me like an unwanted interruption to his day! Surely it isn't very hard to smile and make your guests feel welcomed. Just because it's a hostel doesn't mean you have to behave like prison guards! However, the hostel was far better than most. Clean, with fresh slippers and real coffee. My dorm room mates were delightful, and other staff smiled and were pleasant. "
- 16 Jun 2014 jillian Australia
- " Walking distance from the sights and in a quieter part of town but close enough if you're looking to go out. Staff was very nice and laidback plus the door is code locked so definitely felt safe. Patio on the roof was nice to relax on and rooms were nice for the money. Definitely recommended and I would stay here again. "
- 10 Jun 2014 Bryan USA
- " Loved! Everybody was nice and trying to help on every detail! Friendly staff! Would recomend that you would have a mirror in each room! Cause on the 3rd floor the only mirror is in the bathroom and really small!! "

Darnell Dockett Mocks Raiders Fans With Whiteboard
As the Cardinals played the Raiders, injured defensive end Darnell Dockett reminded Oakland's fans that their team is a trash heap. He used a whiteboard to illustrate his main point. »

Chris Rix, former Florida State Seminoles quarterback and current college football insider for Fox Sports, went on Jay Mohr's radio show yesterday and gay-baited his former teammate, Darnell Dockett, who currently plays defensive end for the Arizona Cardinals.

Down a point and the clock running out, the Cardinals had one and only one chance to win the game: Intentionally the Jets score a touchdown, and get the ball back with two minutes left.

Noone can deny it. Illeteracy is the main hurdle in India's development. Several efforts have been made on part of the government to deal with illiteracy. India is developing but at a very slow rate, this is not the fault of a corrupt government; it is due to this problem of illiteracy only. Literacy enables a person to think rationally, to be understanding, to be more responsible and to make his/her own decisions. A literate person is aware of all his fundamental rights and duties. Literacy is the ultimate solution to fight problems like communalism, terrorism and under development. Our government is of the people, for the people and by the people, but what is the use if people can not even make the right choice? Illiteracy can bring down even the most powerful nations down, so if we are to become a developed nation, the government should first remove the problem of illiteracy by introducing effective programs with proper implementation and budget.

DEFINITION of 'Base-Year Analysis'
1. The analysis of economic trends in relation to a specific base year. Base-year analysis expresses economic measures in base-year prices to eliminate the effects of inflation.
2. The analysis of a company's financial statements by comparing current data with that of a previous year, or base year. Base-year analysis allows for comparison between current performance and historical performance.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Base-Year Analysis'
1. Base-year analysis is often used when expressing gross domestic product, and is known as real GDP when referred to in this way. By eliminating inflation, the trend of economic growth is more accurate, as price level changes are accounted for.
$$ (Base Year) = $$ (Chosen Year) x Price Index (Base Year) / Price Index (Chosen Year)
2. Base-year analysis of a company's financial statements is important to be able to determine whether a company is growing or shrinking. If, for example, a company is profitable every year, the fact that its revenues are shrinking year-over-year may go unnoticed. By comparing revenues and profits to those of a previous year, a more detailed picture emerges.

The furore over JP Morgan Chase's surprise trading loss – $2bn gross, $800m net – maybe larger after unwinding – has been overdone for two important reasons: it was not a systemic event by any measure, and the bank moved quickly to clean up the mess after clearly indicating that the loss exceeded its tolerable limits on the $400bn portfolio involved.

Nukeproof Scalp Fully custom Fox 40 FIT RC2$2200 GPB
Hi, Here for sale is my nukeproof scalp 2012 built up from the frame with top parts! This is a stunning bike and will not disappoint. It's an amazing bike and built solid as can come but without a huge weight penalty. Only reason for sale is I fancy a change to another downhill bike such as a demo 8 2012 onwards so let me know! The bike is fully built up with very high spec The spec is as follows : - 2012 Nukeproof Scalp (Medium) with Cane Creek double barrel shock - Fox 40 FIT RC2 forks KASHIMA COATED -Shimano Saint Crankset with Slik graphics protective decals - Truvativ X0 chain device - Custom brakes, Shimano Saint Calipers with Shimano XT levers (feels amazing and has more power output than with original saint levers) - Avid rotors (203mm) front and rear - Nukeproof generator Wheel set - Maxxis Minon 2.5 tyres front and rear both have ample grip left - nukeproof saddle on nukeproof seatpost and clamp - Sram x9 rear derailleur with x7 shifter - Mondraker 0deg rise direct mount stem - Renthal 780mm Fatbar - Odi lock on fork bumpers (work a treat) - Dmr Zip grips (Pedals and mud guard not included) Bike is in great structural condition it does have some marks and scuff as to be expected from a downhill bike but as it's a silver bike they can't really be seen that easily untill uo close. The fork sanctions are perfect not a mark on them, the lowers do have quite a few chips and marks to the paint but nothing structural and are running extremely smooth! The bike is stunning to look at and rides like an absolute dream, it loves it when things turn steep and it takes off like it has wings.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - A Fort Myers couple is recovering from smoke inhalation after their home went up in flames overnight.
Firefighters say the house at the corner of Hibiscus and Aqua, just off McGregor, had flames shooting out of the roof when the arrived. The husband and wife inside were trapped in a second story bedroom. Firefighters rescued the man first as he needed more assistance. Then brought his wife outside.
The couple saved both their dogs lives before being rescued. Deputy Chief Chad Morgenson says the man inside, "took the dogs from the second story and threw them in the pool. Truthfully, it was a good idea."
Investigators believe the fire likely started in the garage and spread from there. They are looking for the cause.

It's Valentine's Day, so naturally thoughts turn to the L Word, but where does love spring from if not from that initial feeling that your prospective partner is a fitty?
This week (some might say too coincidentally) a report has been released, which proposes that facial attraction is the key to how we select our partners. Well duh, I hear you say, but the research is far more interesting than that. In fact, scientists discovered that looking at a beautiful face stimulates the same region of the brain as certain drugs, the opioid system, which controls pain and reward. And just like drugs, beauty "is rewarding for people".
Interesting; but not mind-boggling. I mean it's fair to say that when you're in love with someone you find attractive (and they reciprocate!) it's not a wholly unpleasant feeling. However, this theory was tested further when scientists invited 30 men to look upon images of women at varying degrees on the scale of 'conventionally' attractive. Some of the participants were given drugs, some were given an opioid suppressor and the rest were given placebos.
The drug group all spent more time ogling the Miranda Kerr types and rated them the most attractive. Meanwhile those who had taken opioid suppressors did the opposite, speeding past Kerr and not rating her as highly.
But where does this leave us, single gals of average attractiveness this Valentine's Day? Well, short of pumping mankind full of opioid suppressors, the truth is men and women are always going to find some physical traits more attractive than others (and be rewarded for it), but I think judging by the allure of certain Have I Got News For You panelists, a sense of humour goes a long way too.
