- Mantle-Melting at High Pressure: Experimental Constraints on Magma Ocean Differentiation (2005)
- In this study geochemical processes and a geophysical parameter were investigated that are relevant to the crystallisation of a deep magma ocean, that likely existed during Earth's accretion. The melting relations of potential magma ocean compositions, such as peridotitic and chondritic bulk compositions, were investigated using multianvil apparatus at pressures of 25-26 GPa and temperatures up to 2400°C. Compositional effects on the melting relations were investigated by varying bulk Mg/Si and Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios (the latter is denoted as Mg-number, Mg#). At 26 GPa, peridotite liquids show a crystallisation sequence of ferropericlase (Fp) followed down temperature by Mg-silicate perovskite (MgPv) + Fp, which is in contrast to the sequence of MgPv followed by MgPv + Fp in chondritic composition. The melting relations along the different compositions depend primarily on the bulk Mg/Si ratio and not on the Mg#. Melting relations and eutectic compositions were studied in the simple binary MgO-SiO2 system between 10 and 26 GPa. Combining the new results with previously published data shows that the eutectic composition between Mg2SiO4 and MgSiO3, up to 20 GPa, moves towards MgO with increasing pressure. Between 20 and 23 GPa the direction in which the eutectic is moving with pressure reverses. At higher pressures, this trend is again reversed and the eutectic composition moves towards MgO. The multiple changes in the direction in which the eutectic is moving as a function of pressure explains qualitatively the differences in liquidus phase relations in the more complex peridotite and chondrite compositions. The effect of bulk chemical composition on the partitioning of major, minor and trace elements between MgPv and coexisting silicate melts was investigated using micro-beam techniques. MgPv/melt partition coefficients for Mg (DMg) and Si (DSi) are related to the melt Mg/Si ratio, such that DSi becomes smaller than DMg at chondritic Mg/Si melt ratios. This shows that the Earth's upper mantle Mg/Si ratio is unlikely to be derived from chondrites by MgPv fractionation. Partition coefficients of tri- and tetravalent elements increase with increasing Al concentration of MgPv. A crystal chemical model indicates that Al3+ substitutes predominantly onto the Si-site in MgPv, but most other elements substitute onto the Mg-site. This is consistent with a charge-compensating substitution mechanism. A crystal fractionation model, based on refractory lithophile element ratios, is developed to constrain the amount of MgPv and Ca-silicate perovskite (CaPv) that could have fractionated in a magma ocean and could still be present as a chemical heterogeneity in the lower mantle today. It is shown that a fractionated crystal pile composed of 96% MgPv and 4% CaPv could comprise up to 13 wt% of the entire mantle. Fe3+/Fetotal ratios have been determined for MgPv, crystallised at temperatures below and above the peridotite solidus, using Mössbauer and electron-energy-loss spectroscopy. The amount of Fe3+ in MgPv is positively correlated to the Al content of this phase. In recovered samples, homogeneously distributed Fe-rich metal on the sub-micron scale was observed on grain boundaries, although the MgPv has Fe3+/Fetotal ratios between 0.2 and 0.5. This suggests that the amount of Fe3+ in MgPv is independent of oxygen fugacity and that the presence of Fe-rich metal in the samples is the result of disproportionation of FeO to Fe3+ and Fe-metal. This has potentially implications for the mantle oxidation state and the mantle geochemistry during magma ocean solidification. The viscosity of peridotite liquid, as an analogue for a magma ocean composition, was investigated at high pressure using in-situ falling sphere viscometry. Experiments were performed between 2.5 and 13 GPa at temperatures between 2043 to 2523 K. Measured viscosities range from 0.018 (±0.003) to 0.13 (±0.01) Pa s. Up to 9 GPa the data indicate an isothermal increase in viscosity with increasing pressure but viscosity decreases between 9 and 13 GPa at constant temperature. The observed change in the pressure dependence of the viscosity is likely associated with structural changes in the liquid upon compression. The new high pressure data are combined with 1 bar viscosities for peridotite liquid (Dingwell et al. 2004), and a non-Arrhenian Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman equation, to which an empirical pressure-dependent term has been added, is presented to parameterize all experimental data. This approach reproduces measured viscosities to within 0.08 log10-units on average. The model can be used to calculate magma ocean viscosities to depths of 400 km. At likely magma ocean temperatures, viscosities down to transition zone pressures are extremely low and comparable to water at room temperature. The results of the different aspects of this study were used to investigate magma ocean crystallisation and its effect on the geochemistry and the evolution of the Earth's mantle.

The facts about loans.
Unlike scholarships or grants, loans must be paid back. However, you won't have to repay most student loans until you've graduated from college.
Typically, student loans come with a maximum interest rate that is set by federal law. Keep in mind that you may be able to find an even lower rate by checking out multiple lenders.
Due to the ever-changing credit markets, we recommend that if you take a student or parent loan, you take the loan for the entire academic year. Should you decide you don't need the additional funds you may cancel and/or return the loan proceeds.
Learn more about the different types of loans available.
Loan Entrance Counseling
Each student who receives a loan for the first time at Albion must complete loan entrance counseling. Loan funds cannot be released until this requirement has been met.
Entrance counseling can be completed by visiting StudentLoans.gov.

Amazon vs. Netflix: Jeff Bezos Could Squash Reed Hastings Like a Bug
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In case you missed it, Amazon.com (AMZN) stole the rights to "Downton Abbey" reruns from Netflix (NFLX) last week. In and of itself, this is not a big deal, but don't ignore the news. Reed Hastings isn't. And, if he is, quite frankly, he's foolhardy.
Hastings likes to make you believe his company operates from a position of strength. He uses all sorts of smoke and mirrors to do it, but, ultimately, Netflix cannot continue to finance its admirable content acquisition, original programming and international expansion efforts by refinancing and taking out debt.
It will catch up with the company. When it does, the business -- as powerful and impressive as it is as a consumer service -- will crash like (no pun intended) a "House of Cards".
I watched the first episode of "House of Cards" over the weekend. It's good enough that I will be back at some point this week or over the weekend for another episode or two. At this point, however, it's not what it needs to be for Netflix; it's not of HBO quality. I'm no television critic, but it seems to me the people who produced "House of Cards" for Netflix are not masters of the art of weaving together a compelling storyline in an hour, yet making it believable. That's what HBO does so well. But that's beside the point. Even if "House of Cards" kills it, Netflix needs to kill it again and again and yet again to even place itself in the same league as HBO. That's next to impossible. If Netflix manages to accomplish this, there's no guarantee it will matter. You're still giving away all of your programming -- original or third-party -- at the bargain price of $8/month. When subscription fees comprise your only line of revenue in a business that burns cash like there's no tomorrow, things simply cannot end well without considerable and, quite possibly, unworkable structural change. The existence of giants such as Amazon as streaming/on-demand middlemen -- not to mention Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) -- makes things even more complicated. These guys have cash cows in place to subsidize something like an expensive streaming operation; Netflix absolutely does not.

text: 5 Dont tell me, don't tell me......................Mother!MarkAvery | 11/09/2012 | See all MarkAvery's reviews (114)Top 100 DVD Reviewer Now Jaws is another review where I feel a movie review isn't essentially required. I can't imagine anyone who is going to purchase this who hasn't seen it already.Suffice to say it's a 5/5 classic.So my review will be purely on the Blu-ray transfer.I'll be honest Universal are not my favoured film company when it comes to HD transfers from the classics archives. They appear to bow to the uneducated who believe that the point of Blu-ray is to make every film look immaculate and appear as if it was made last year. To achieve this they will subject older movies to a number of digital enhancements such as grain removal (DNR), edge enhancement etc.The idea of Blu-ray is to enable us to witness movies as near to the original source material as possible and in-keeping with the directors intentions.So I was initially apprehensive and worried that one of my all time favourite films was going to be digitally butchered and lose all evidence that it was ever shot on actual film all together.So here we go.......................................Universal have granted Jaws with an MPEG-4 AVC, 1080p, 2.36:1 transfer on a 50GB Blu-ray disc of exceptional quality. Thank GOD!Speilberg himself was heavily involved in the restoration process for this movie and I reckon he was also in attendance when the transfer was processed, lets face it this movie gave him a career so I would imagine he would not allow this to be released unless it was tip top.We have an extremely fine grain structure which is never obtrusive and as a result picture sharpness is exceptional and object detail is extremely strong.Skin tones appear warm and natural. The colour balance has been restored and the contrast is also exceptional, one of the first things you will notice is how vibrant the colours look compared to previous releases on DVD.I did not detect any edge enhancement either and blacks do not appear to crush either.The sound is probably the biggest improvement overall with the Mono soundtrack given a 7.1 surround overhaul which makes John Williams score sound all the more impressive.The extra's are a direct port from the 30th anniversary DVD gatefold edition but you are given a Blu-ray exclusive 2 hour documentary which is an absolute must for any Jaws enthusiast.I was slightly worried that the entire package was put onto just one Blu-ray disc but the film does not fall foul of any compression issues.I would recommend the steelbook edition as the packaging is cool if that kind of thing matters to you, I know it does to me.This is only just shy of reference quality. You're gonna need a bigger Blu-ray collection.Highly recommended.

Quantitative Analysis Reports
Medicaid Expansion Would Lighten Spending Burden
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
As many as 40 percent of the nation's 1.3 million uninsured veterans could qualify for Medicaid under provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new analysis suggests. Whether veterans receive these benefits depends on which states opt to expand Medicaid.
Despite the far-reaching Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), large numbers of low-income uninsured adults won't be eligible because of their immigration status. This brief provides the first state-specific estimates of the number of uninsured low-income adults who fall into that category.
Fifty-five percent of the public say establishing the exchanges is a "top priority," according to a survey released by RWJF, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation, hospitals will likely gain $2.59 in new revenue from Medicaid participants for every dollar lost from private health insurance revenue.

Follow three inmates through the harrowing process of facing the parole board that controls their future.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTSTM continues with the groundbreaking series that examines one of the most important and overlooked aspects of the justice process. PAROLE BOARD: MONTANA follows the journey of three men through the harrowing review where their future is determined.
Kenneth Miller, 33, is serving 180 years for his role in a robbery-homicide. Though his accomplice admitted being the gunman, both men received identical sentences. A model inmate for 14 years, he will not be eligible for parole until he is 63, and is seeking a commutation of his sentence. Roman McCarthy, 45, seeks an early release from a 5-year sentence for calling his common-law wife, and thus violating a court order of no contact between them. Finally, Curtis Klatt faces a tough hearing after going to jail for disorderly contact and compounding his situation by sucker-punching an officer while handcuffed to the booking bench in the police station!
In the stories of these men, we get a rare and intimate view of the vital process that determines who has been rehabilitated and who needs to spend more time behind bars.

What Happened When I Infiltrated One of the Most Secretive and Powerful Republican Organizations in the Country
It's an unreasonably warm October day, and I'm milling about awkwardly with a handful of suits at a mixer in a small banquet hall at Newport Beach's Pacific Club—which, according to its website, is the gathering place of choice for the "distinctive life-style of Orange County's business and professional leaders."
An incredible thirst suddenly overwhelms me, as I look down and see I've practically sweated through my cheap suit. I try my best to keep control of my decorum, but when a busser passes by with a lone Arnold Palmer on his tray, I snatch it greedily from the outstretched hands of another guest and suck the saccharine concoction down in one gulp.
The hot weather may be playing a small role in my odd behavior, but my discomfort is mainly due to the fact this is no ordinary mixer. I've successfully infiltrated one of the most powerful and secretive Republican organizations in the country: The Lincoln Club of Orange County. Back in September, I discovered a chink in its otherwise iron-clad armor with this note on the group's website:
This election year is the most pivotal in recent memory. Will we continue on the path toward expanding government or will we change course and choose liberty? In California, will we stand by while special interests bankrupt our state or will we finally return Sacramento to the voters?
Whether it's supporting conservative candidates and issues locally or at the national level, Lincoln Club membership gives you an opportunity to put your beliefs into action and to stay informed about crucial happenings in local, statewide, and national politics.
Learn more about how you can make a difference this election year.
Join us! Members are encouraged to attend with their prospective member guests.
The organizational brains and bucks behind Citizens United and Proposition 32 was looking for new members. Who was I to say no?
Easier said than done.
The club only has a few hundred members—none of whom, certainly, would be willing to drag a strange journalist to an event unless the writer were on the Koch brothers' payroll.
So I RSVP'd independently, hoping that anyone coherent enough to string together a few sentences would be welcome. The contemporary Republican Party isn't exactly loaded with William F. Buckley-types. If James O'Keefe can occupy an elite niche in the GOP pantheon, surely I could squeeze my way in.
And here I am, in the teeth of the Conservative movement, surrounded by power suits and blonde bouffants, trying to be the best Republican I can be. In preparation, I shaved my sideburns up above my ears, and slicked my hair to the side–a Chappelle's Show parody of a white guy. I must look the part, as I spy the blondest, most-intimidating bouffant of them all making its way toward me. It belongs to Teresa Hernandez, a onetime Republican congressional candidate who tried to take Hilda Solis' seat after Obama appointed her Secretary of Labor. Almost as soon as I sign myself in, Hernandez introduces herself.
"Hi, I'm Teresa. I'm a member." She lets that settle in. "So… 'Allen,'" she says, staring skeptically at my pseudonymous name tag. "Where are you from?"
"Glendale," I tell her, which is true, even though it's an hour's drive north in L.A. County – which has its own Lincoln Club.
"Glendale, huh? That must have been quite a . . . schlep."
I breathe a sigh of relief. She doesn't suspect me of being a journalist. I must have merely set off her Jewdar.

AUDIENCE: Surgery, Anesthesia, Neurology, Healthcare Professionals
ISSUE: FDA has observed fungal contamination by direct microscopic examination of foreign matter taken from a sealed vial of methylprednisolone acetate collected from New England Compounding Center (NECC). FDA is in the process of conducting additional microbial testing to confirm the exact species of the fungus.
Investigation into the exact source of the outbreak is still ongoing, but the outbreak is associated with a potentially contaminated medication. That product is preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate (80mg/ml), an injectable steroid produced and distributed by New England Compounding Center (NECC) in Framingham, Massachusetts. CDC's interim data show that all infected patients received injection with this product.
BACKGROUND: FDA was been working closely with CDC, several state health departments, and the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy to investigate the scope and cause of the outbreak of fungal meningitis. FDA inspectors in the New England District Office, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy have been conducting an inspection of the New England Compounding Center. The firm voluntarily ceased all operations and surrendered its license to the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy on October 3, 2012.
RECOMMENDATION: Out of an abundance of caution, FDA is taking the additional step of recommending that health care professionals and consumers not use any product that was produced by NECC at this time. In addition, FDA requests that health care professionals retain and secure all remaining products purchased from NECC until FDA provides further instructions regarding the disposition of these products.
Although the investigation into the source of the outbreak is still ongoing, if you have purchased a product from NECC, FDA is advising not to use it at this time. This includes all products compounded and distributed at NECC; not just the ones that have been recalled. Please see the CDC website for additional information.
Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:

2013 and earlier BMW X1 Lease Questions
allanny13 Posts: 2Hi Car_Man,
Can you provide BMW Financial Services' November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 X1 xDrive28i with 10,000 miles per year as well as same for 12,000 miles per year? As I will probably be committing to the lease in December when would you have December rates as well? Thanks so much!
targetx1 Posts: 1My dealer is using a money factor higher than what I've seen posted here (0.00165) and I'm trying to secure a 3-year /12K miles lease payment of ~$607 on an X1 (MRSP of $37090). Part of the trick is a trade that is involved where I'm adding about $2K in negative equity to the deal. My planned down payment is $1650. Am I off on my expectations? Their current offer stands @ $642.
On a separate note, the X1 is a nice addition to the BMW line-up. I am a current Audi owner and I was please with the driveability of the X1 - plus of course, functionality and looks.
Thanks in advance for your input!
Hi cartman503. The semantics are between you and the dealer, but dealerships don't foot the bill for the cash incentives... BMW does. So if there is a $1,000 cash incentive on the vehicle that you want, in a way I suppose that one could say that its dealer invoice price is $1,000 lower.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hello allanny13. BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 X1 xDrive28i with 12,000 miles per year are .00125 and 59% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
There is currently a $500 holiday cash incentive on the X1. Make sure to take it into account in your negotiations.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Certainly hattri. BMW Financial Services' December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 X1 sDrive28i with 10,000 miles per year are .00125 and 60% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
There is a $500 cash incentive for everyone and $750 loyalty cash on this vehicle this month.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hi Car_Man
So this year I am looking at the X1.
I'm confused abt what Edmunds and CarPriceSecrets and TrueCar post as their MSRP and Invoice Price. They all tell me different when they call me.
Actually I found that Edmunds showed a better TMV for this vehicle.
I live in NY, have had BMW's past 9 years, lease it and for this car, which I am looking at leasing (2)...1 my daughter will be leasing again. I don't know for sure what numbers I should be looking at. The only option I am looking for is the Cold Weather Package, and the Servotronic, and Bluetooth (apparently now we have to pay for this feature?).
Can you please guide me, and help me what I a good price would be, and the residual and MF for 12,000 miles, 36 months?
Thank you so much again!
Hermie :sick:
Can anyone help me do a sanity check on this lease? It looks WRONG.
Term = 36 mos.
Residual = 59%
Tax = 8.38% (on lease payment, not car value)
Acquisition Fee = $725
Fees, MSRP, negotiated price all shown in image.
My calcs show $554/mo -- not $618. What am I missing? (Or how am I being taken?)
Thanks in advance!
1) You say the tax is on the lease payment, but that work sheet shows a tax amount that would suggest it's on the whole selliing price..
2) Cash due = $0 ?? If so, capitalize the $725 and the 1st payment.. neither of those are shown on the worksheet, either..
I didn't do the math... just looking at the information you provided...
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
Your math is right... but, with $0 due at signing, you'd have to capitalize the first payment.... That would add around $17/mo... Something tells me there is a big doc fee in there somewhere, and maybe something else they didn't disclose, like a wheel insurance policy..
All that will show up in the capitalized cost, if so..
The other possibility is they are marking up the money factor....
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
timo12 Posts: 2That was essentially the sum of other fees, rebates, etc that was being capitalized for the lease.
I found that taxes are charged on rebate cash, doc fees, etc. once I knew that, and once the dealer used the correct money factor, the numbers matched (within $2).
All, any reason NOT to capitalize the first month's payment?
Hi Hermie. Of course, the correct dealer invoice price is listed here at Edmunds.com . You can look it up over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.
BMW Financial Services' December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 X1 28i with 12,000 miles per year are .00125 and 59% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

jalmanzar Posts: 1Car_man:
What would be a fair cap cost on the sDrive 28i? xDrive 28i?
Also do you know the January 2013 buy rate lease money factor and residual value on a 36 month lease? Do you know if there are going to be any incentives for January?
I live in the NYC area. Dealer just told me that my out-of-pocket costs would be ~$2100, this is not including any down payment but includes 1st month lease payment. Does that sound right?
We have a family member who works at a dealership and may be able to get us an employee incentive deal too, making the X1 look very attractive right now. Considering this incentive, do you think its even worth the oxygen to try to negotiate?
Any other advice is welcome and appreciated.
Thank you car_man.
Will be talking to dealer later today.
Hopefully he doesn't tell me that you can't get the cold weather package with the leatherette too! SOunds like they want me to get a pkg with leather, and I am trying to keep the car down to just the basics ..... ugh!
Hi jalmanzar. I am not intimately familiar with what the market is like for the X1 right now, but if I was interested in getting one in an area that has a decent level of competition I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 or so over invoice minus any available incentives.
BMW Financial Services' January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 X1 sDrive 28i with 15,000 miles per year are .00130 and 57% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
The numbers for the xDrive would be exactly the same.
the only cash incentive that is currently available on this model is $750 owner loyalty cash.
If you can get employee pricing, it certainly would be much easier for you than negotiating.

joshdent Posts: 3Car man,
I was in the BMW dealer yesterday negotiating a lease on a BMW X1 xDrive 28i with 15k for 36 months. The money factor used was .00140 NOT .00130 as listed above in a previous email exchange, although the residual was identical. It was clearly displayed on the auto lease calculator we page the dealer went over with me, and this was for top credit class. I don't know where your sources are for this information- is it possible the salesperson had it wrong? Do I have to review it with them? "Could you please recheck the money factor?" Any thoughts?
Certainly timc01. According to the latest information that I have seen, BMW Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 X1 xDrive28i with 10,000 miles per year are .00130 and 60% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tiers.
I don't often see information about advance-pay leases, but the last time I checked into BMW's program it provided a .00080 money factor reduction for them.

Hi Car_Man, well I've asked them for the paper work, and they haven't sent it to me. I'm not sure if it's a great deal......also, I'm wondering if you know if the $500 i gave them is refundable if for some reason, I don't like the numbers? It's really taking a long time, and I'm begining to think there will be surprises with the numbers!
Thank you!
Hi voldermort. If you haven't physically taken delivery of the vehicle and it wasn't some sort of special order then any deposit that you made would likely be refundable. Though this should be clarified prior to making any deposit to begin with, you should have a strong case for getting the $500 back if you don't go forward with the deal. Having said that, the fact that it should be refundable and actually getting the dealer to give you money are two entirely different things. I have found that it is often very, very difficult to get dealers to give money back once it's in their hands.

Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

In June 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v.

In response, many states have passed legislation and proposed amendments to their state constitutions to block this unprecedented government assault on the rights of property owners.

Help - Photos Deleted Automatically (canon Ixus 960is)
Posted 22 June 2008 - 12:10 PM
Can someone advise me what is wrong? Is the camera faulty? I thought maybe my pictures were hidden somewhere in my memory stick, but when I tried uploading it.. they were truly gone =(
I have an 8GB memory card as well.. Anyone has any idea what happened? Is something faulty? The camera? The memory stick?
Anyone had this kind of problem with their digi cam or with the canon ixus 960is?
Thanks in advance.

It seems that your memory card is corrupt. To get your images back use any good image recovery software such as Stellar Phoenix photo recovery utility. This utility works well for recover from memory card. Just download the demo version from product website>check the preview of recovered images and purchase it. In this way you can get images back. It will cost few dollars but you'll get your images back.

Good luck!

1. Do not save any new photos into the memory stick.
2. Insert the memory stick into a card reader. Connect it with computer. You should see it shown as a drive letter (like H:) in My Computer.
3. Download memory stick recovery software, recommend one is Tenorshare Data Recovery (simply because i was using it and it worked)
4. Install and open the program, select your memory drive, and click 'Start' button to start scanning process which will find your photos.

No matter what happened to your camera photos, stop using this camera, especially the inner memory card. In your case, anything new on the same memory card would erase your needed photos and make them gone permanently. So, you should take care.
And then connect this memory card to your computer via a card Reader and select a proper data recovery program to take a chance. Nowadays, there are many professional data recovery programs that are developed to help the user retrieve their inaccessible data back.
Just search some efficient memory card data recovery freeware online: http://geeksdo.com/f...a-recovery.html
At last, after the data recovery process, not forget to back up all your restored photos on a different drives or memory card in case of data loss.

Just google for answers, many useful sofwtare can help you retrieve the lost photos.

Cuba's Other Revolution
As in Brazil and Venezuela, the pre-revolutionary middle classes of Cuba embraced modernity as an expression of their cosmopolitanism, and Havana still boasts a fast decaying legacy of progressive architecture. When I was there, ten years ago, I was lucky to have Eduardo Luis Rodriguez, a crusader for these treasures, show me around and share his indispensable Havana Guide. Most of these houses and public buildings are off the radar, few Americans have had the opportunity to explore them first hand, and there may soon be little left to see. As in the Soviet Union, there was a brief flourish of innovation in the early, idealistic phase of the revolution before it was snuffed out by the ideologues. The ruined Arts Schools of the early 1960s are a sad memorial to a vision betrayed.
To discover what is being lost, you should sign up for a lecture, "Echoes of the Avant Garde: Cuban Architecture from the 1930s into the 1960s," at the Getty Center on July 21 at 7pm. Julio Cesar Perez Hernandez, a Havana-based architect, urban planner, and professor of design, will explore the evolution from eclecticism and Art Deco to international modern. His presentation offers a rare opportunity to get an insider's view and meet an architect who is helping devise a master plan for post-Castro Havana. And be sure to visit the Getty's photography exhibition "A Revolutionary Project: Cuba from Walker Evans to Now."

Force India's Sergio Perez believes the team's pace in Jerez this week won't be an accurate representation how well they will perform during the season opener in Melbourne.
Instead, the Mexican feels the two testing sessions in Bahrain will provide them with a better platform to assess their pace.
Perez has had limited time in the simulator before this week's Jerez test and only managed 11 laps behind the wheel on Tuesday.
"There are so many things we need to get on top of to understand the difficult engine; how it works, all the energy, all the system itself is just quite complicated to understand but also to maximise, especially for the first few races," Perez told ESPN from the Andalucia.
"I haven't been able to do much in the simulators yet. I think it will be good if we can [do more], of course, but it's difficult at the moment because we have to focus on the car itself, our priority has to be to get on top of how the car runs.
"The driver at this point of the season and early on can make a big difference. Bahrain will be a better reference for us ahead of Australia but it is going to be different for everyone out there. The work Nico [Hulkenberg] and I do up until then will be very important."
The former McLaren driver added that he is yet to feel comfortable behind the wheel of the new VJM07 car.
"I didn't manage to get the tyres up to temp or everything on the limit so at the moment it seems really difficult to drive. Through corners you don't feel as much response as you hope to have so we need to learn," the 24-year-old continued.
"I don't want to judge the level of downforce we have right now but it does feel very low, very scary."

|Season :
|Guest Cast :
|Enterprise is greeted by a huge fleet of Human and Vulcan ships when she arrives back at Earth. Where were all these when the Xindi weapon was approaching unopposed?
|Great Moment :
|Enterprise flying over New York.
|Body Count :
|Most notably, Silik and Vosk. We also saw the German General murdered by Vosk, and a whole bunch of German soldiers killed. Presumably some hundreds or thousands would have been killed off screen in the USA's counter-attack on the Germans.
|Factoid :
|In case you were wondering, yes, the actor who plays the Human-looking Silik is indeed the guy who has been under the makeup all this time.
|Quote :
|"Our greatest scientist once said 'every moment we live, we are moving through time. We've earned the right to choose which direction.'" - Vosk to his men
"One thing is clear, when necessary Humans are fully capable of returning to old methods." - Silik to Archer
Vosk offers the captured Trip and Mayweather to Archer as a sign of good faith, hoping to make a deal where he will restore Human history in return for Archer's help in building his time conduit. After getting his men back Archer declines the deal - only to find that Trip is actually a disguised Silik, who is working against Vosk for his own ends. Faced with the imminent completion of the conduit, Archer must ally with his old enemy and risk all to strike against Vosk.
Well, Storm Front isn't the best two parter, but it's at least a pretty decent action show and it does wrap up the Temporal Cold War arc once and for all. On the down side, the temporal side of things doesn't make a whole lot of sense - why does destroying the conduit re-write all of history, removing all the damage done by every faction? They don't even try to explain it. Still, time travel stories rarely make sense and the writers have many times fallen back on the old ploy of having one of the characters just complain about how hard it is to make sense of it all and then leave it at that - a clear message to the audience not to bother trying to work it out themselves. Storm Front is a particularly bad offender in this respect, but it's only going where other episodes have gone before.
On the plus side, the action is pretty cool - I loved seeing Enterprise sweeing in over New York being attacked by plasma weapon equipped Stukas. It was nice to see Silik working with Archer, and it was nice to finally see John Fleck without the Suliban makeup on - bet he enjoyed not having to spend a few hours a day in the makeup chair!
As an example of how Enterprise is going to fare under Manny Coto, it's hard to judge this early but if Storm Front is any indication then he's going to dump many elements of the first few seasons and presumably strike out in new directions. Rumour has it he wants to tie Enterprise much more into TOS, which can only be a good thing if it's done properly. Time will tell...

Title: Daughter's First Birthday
Date: May 03, 2012
This was a great buy... we split the decorations between 2 parties... and if it wasn't for an unfortunate soda spill at the first one, it would have been enough for both. We did add some plain color cups & plates to make the kit stretch for 2 parties... but it was awesome! I do wish that there was more of a balloon bouquet. I went to the store later and the foil bouquet is $15

Very sweet theme, perfect for a first birthday. Another mom liked it so much I gave everything to her (including wall decals purchased elsewhere) and she used it for her baby's first! Since it was mostly adults at our party none of the paper goods were used so she was happy to take the left overs. 2nd birthday is 5 months away but I already know it's going to be the barnyard animals theme from this website as well. Very good experience so far.

More Than A Mantra: "We're All in This Together"
Several years ago, I heard a woman minister offer this wonderful question for assessing our work: "Is what I'm about to do strengthening the web of connections, or is it weakening it?" This question came back to me as I sit here in the hot summer of our discontent, observing the ruinous rubble of broken and discarded relationships, wondering where our nation is headed, increasingly despondent of weaving the web to be strong again.
In the midst of this fractured time, I still hear many people saying: "We're all in this together." From high-level leaders to local school board members to teenagers offering service, this seems to be one of the mantras of our time. This is a good thing. Perhaps we're finally seeing what has, up to now, been ignored: community, the web of our interconnections, the safety net of caring that we extend to one another when life is hard. Perhaps more people are discovering that humans only persevere through difficulties when we're together. I don't know if this is what people mean when they recite the mantra. But I do know that humans cannot get through difficult times alone.
Everything I've learned about the power of community comes from working through the Berkana Institute in the Global South. Communities in many different cultures have taught us that, in spite of the worst external circumstances—war, famine, abuse, societal collapse, ecological devastation—human beings can get through anything as long as we're together. People with little or no material resources get through desperate and difficult circumstances by uncovering the resources they really need—each other's companionship, each other's knowledge and wisdom.
Sometimes people in these communities forget their collective strength, sometimes they get seduced by the lures of modern materialism. But time after time, when they reconnect with each other they find again their capacity to persevere. I've seen this in many places, but perhaps most powerfully in Zimbabwe, as all systems collapsed and people suffered from brutality, terror, hunger and despair. Berkana has worked closely with friends and colleagues at Kufunda Learning Village near Harare for many years; there, we've witnessed the power of bringing people together to develop skills, create possibilities, strengthen relationships and reclaim imagination and vision for themselves.
People at Kufunda are skilled practitioners of circle. They know how to sit and reflect deeply together, they know how to hold one another's grief and anxiety. And always, their conversations suddenly erupt into singing and dancing. (We at Berkana have longed to be able to bring this transformation of grief into joy, sorrow into dance into our own meetings, but we're not Africans, and it doesn't quite work for us.)

As the situation in Zimbabwe deteriorated, as individuals faced intimidation and threats, as their families suffered from hunger and all-consuming fear, the Kufundees spiraled away from each other. They descended into their own troubles and sorrows, feeling overwhelmed and powerless. They were occupied elsewhere and stopped sitting together in circle. And then they remembered the power of being together. As they again came together, they were able to reclaim their sense of self, they became less anxious, more capable of getting through continuing hardships. This cycle continued for years: they would drift away and feel lost, then reconnect and rediscover their strength and resolve.
As our pressure-cooked lives drive us apart, as our political rhetoric condemns and blames, as we're distracted by stress, anxiety, and exhausted by overwhelm, could we still be the ones to reweave the web?
Let's just keep asking ourselves this question: "Is what I'm about to do strengthening the web of connections, or is it weakening it?"
