This project will progress the establishment of a global Federation of data repositories for crystallography by performing a scoping study into the feasibility of constructing a network of data repositories: the eCrystals Federation. The Federation approach is presented as an innovative domain model to promote Open Access to data more widely and to facilitate take-up.
It builds on the work of the eBank project, and has links to Repository for the Laboratory (R4L), SPECTRa and SMART Tea projects in chemistry. The Federation will contribute to the development of a digital repository e-infrastructure for research and will inform the Repository Support Project. The proposal addresses the stated need to "create[ing] the technical conditions required for interoperability for resource discovery and access to resources held within digital repositories".
In Phase 3, partners will assess organisational issues and promote advocacy, examine interoperability associated with research workflow and data deposit, harmonise the metadata application profiles from repositories operating on different platforms (EPrints, DSpace & ReciprocalNet), investigate aggregation issues arising from harvesting metadata from repositories situated within the information environments developed in other countries (EU, USA & Australia) and scope the issues of the Federation of institutional archives interoperating with an international subject archive (IUCr).
The project is led by UKOLN in association with the Intelligence, Agents & Multimedia Group, Department of Electronics & Computer Science, and the Department of Chemistry, University of Southampton and the Digital Curation Centre.

A set of photos taken by Revel 77 barista Kaiti Blom has made her a finalist in the Barista Guild of America's contest.
Contest organizers asked baristas to share pictures that show what coffee means to them for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to barista camp. Blom said in an email message that some of her life's pivotal moments have taken place over coffee, including her first date with fiancee Christine.
"To me, coffee is the life blood of the community. Coffee houses provide a place to meet and promote friendships and relationships," she wrote.
The couple in the top candid photo are Blom's friends Shannon and Vanessa, who were recently engaged. The bottom photos include the hands of her friends and family who came together to help her take the photos.
"I put a call out to my community to gather and be subjects in my photos and almost 20 people showed up with less than an hour's notice. This simple act solidified for me that Coffee = Community," Blom wrote.
Blom titled the photos Coffee Unites Us.
Revel77 owner Deb Nelson said another employee, Aaron Monheim, also submitted a photo to the competition. However, he has conceded defeat and is now supporting Blom's entry.
To vote for Blom's photo, Facebook users must 'like' the Barista Guild of America's page and then click the 'vote' button with her photo.

text: Petrov bows out as Caterham seat now filled 4 February, 2013 Vitaly Petrov Vitaly Petrov's manager admits that Caterham was the Russian's "only possibility" to stay in Formula One this season, and that this is now a non-starter as the team has filled their its final berth. "We knew this a few days ago, about the decision of the team, which we have to respect," Oksana Kosachenko, referring to Dutchman Giedo van der Garde's deal for 2013, is quoted by R-Sport. "I wouldn't say we didn't expect it." Kosachenko said she will now look at what other options there are, such as a test driver seat for 28-year-old Petrov. "We have a few offers for Vitaly to stay in F1 and around the paddock, so we have to decide what is the best for him," she said, adding that a race seat outside F1 is "likely not" an option. She expressed disappointment in Russian companies and also the organisers of the new Russian Grand Prix, which will take place in Sochi in 2014. "We have to do something to promote the Sochi Grand Prix, and this is a bad mistake they are [making]," said Kosachenko, indicating that the race organisers turned down her request for sponsorship. Lamenting the sport's current situation, she added: "F1 is really expensive at the moment. "Actually it isn't a sport at the moment, it's tending to be a show, and I believe that we have more and more and more rental drivers." Ironically, Petrov was initially branded a 'pay driver' when he debuted in 2010, but Kosachenko argues: "I believe that a driver who has shown his possibilities in F1 within three years deserves to be supported."

(have to admitt that the new USA-GP was a masterpiece also.. but then again, there Tilke had professional help of people like zanardi. Which proves all the more that this Tilke is totally incompetent! Get_Some @Odd Lord Any bad Tilke design simply wasn't his idea. The guy raced tin tops at the North Course. He's attended events in every form of motorsport he could get himself to growing up. He is a proper motorhead, but like anyone with a passion that also doubles as a career, he often has to reign in his enthusiasm in the face of budget constraints, organizer and executive opinions and other members of committee. Tilke has three clean-sheet designs of entirely his own doing: COTA, India and Istanbul. All of which represent the best new circuits to happen upon international motorsport in the last 15 years. Circuits where he was brought in as a consultant, third party voice or to simply make sure the circuit was up to FIA spec turn out to be disasters in terms of infrastructure and/or spectacle. The Hockenhiem re-build, Korea and Abu Dhabi come to mind immediately. Tilke loves motorsport and F1 a hell of a lot more than the people in charge of where it goes and what the place looks like when it gets there. He does what he can with the resources and creative freedom he's allowed, so don't hate him. Hate the people who think they know better than he does. McLarenfan I have to agree with @Get_Some. Tilke is like anyone else when it comes to constraints, Budget, structures, complexes and natural landscape. if you takeaway all the obstacles like in the new USA-GP you can go to town but even there he had the restraint with the pits and that put the Pit exit in a place not considered to be optimal.

The Rebalancing Initiative will reduce Illinois' reliance on large, state operated development centers (SODC) and increase the number of people with developmental disabilities living in community-based settings. The Quinn administration is committed to improving the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities by transitioning them into the community.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court determined that every person with a disability is entitled to a choice in how they want to live, states across the nation have developed systems that provide funding based on individual needs and preferences. Community-based living arrangements are shown to greatly improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities. At least 14 states no longer use large SODCs.
Under the first phase of the plan, residents of the Jacksonville Developmental Center (JDC) transitioned to alternative settings. Individuals who currently reside at Murray Developmental Center (MDC) in Centralia will transition to community-based settings.
Four years ago, Illinois lagged behind the nation in providing community care to people with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges.
We were institutionalizing more people than any other state, even though community care has been proven to provide a better quality of life.
So we are changing that. We're committed to making sure all our citizens - regardless of the challenges they face - have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
That's why we closed outdated institutions - and we invested in community care.
We invested in people.
People like Eddy Fleming are now thriving with a better, more independent life.
After 12 years of living at a state institution, Eddy recently moved to a community home. He chooses what he wants to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He goes shopping, he walks around his neighborhood, and he practices guitar on his porch.
Eddy makes his own choices and chases his own dreams. That's our Illinois.
And I am pleased to announce today that, because of our commitment, Illinois will soon receive significant new resources to provide supportive housing for people with disabilities.
These resources will provide not only a roof over their heads…but also the skills training, counseling, and services they need to become productive members of their communities.
And we're not done yet.
We want Illinois to be the nation's leading employer of people with disabilities.
With your partnership, we can double the rate of employment for people with disabilities by 2015.
Our Illinois is an "employment first" state.
When I took office, Illinois institutionalized more people with disabilities and mental health challenges than any state in the Union.
Since then, we've closed several institutions.
We've invested more in community care, which provides a better quality of life and more independence for people with disabilities.
I believe in a decent quality of life for everyone in Illinois. That's why we must fix our Medicaid system.
That's also why I'm committed to improving the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges.
Our budget includes funding to ensure smooth transitions and coordinated care as individuals go from costly institutions to supportive community settings. Illinois lags behind the rest of the nation in the utilization of person-centered, community-based care which has been demonstrated to allow people with developmental disabilities to lead more active and independent lives.
Over the next fiscal year, we will close two developmental disability centers: Jacksonville, as well as the Murray Developmental Center in Centralia.
We will close two mental health hospitals: Tinley Park, as well as Singer in Rockford.
The approach we are taking to rebalance our system will allow for the safe and smart transition to community care settings for some of our most vulnerable citizens.
We will comply with all court consent decrees. We will provide individualized care.
And we will achieve savings for the people of Illinois.
In addition to providing more access to community care with these closures, our budget acknowledges fiscal reality by closing or consolidating 59 other state facilities. In Juvenile Justice, Joliet and Murphysboro youth centers will be closed.

Beringer Vineyard Wine Tasting Notes
Beringer is one of the bigger name wineries in Napa and is also steeped in Napa History. This is one of those places where you should really take the tour because you'll get a quick primer in Napa wine history, the outrageous tale of the Beringer brothers, a tour through the 1,200 linear feet of underground tunnels completed by Chinese immigrant workers in the 1870's, and a peak at some of the historic homes on the property dating back to the mid-1800's.
The beautiful grounds and historic buildings aren't the only reason to stop. The wines are good, but readily available in most grocery stores, (look for "tasting room only" pours which are sometimes offered). But you do get a Beringer souvenir glass with the tasting!
You can go to the Old Winery Reserve Tasting Room and get a reserve tasting of your choice of four wines for $25.
Nice, knowledgeable staff and a wide array of wines make this a good stop when passing through St. Helena.

Owned by our farm families in New York & New England — Since 1919
We are enrolled in program called FARM, Farmers Assuring Responsible Management, whose goal is to demonstrate and verify that milk producers are committed to the highest standards in animal care. As part of this program our twenty field representatives, who visit our farms every day, are trained to ensure that there is no mistreatment of any animals on our farms.
We are a cooperative of more than 1200 small family farms from all six New England states and New York State, and each farm is different in acreage, the type of land they have and the crops they are able to grow.
The main source of sustenance for the cows in our cooperative is corn silage, grass silage, pasture and dried hay (all of these are usually grown on the farm or locally) or a combination of these types of feed. Many of our farmer-owners work with dairy nutrition experts and will supplement the feed with high energy pellet grain or other commodities if needed to balance the cow's diet properly. The goal is to give the cows plenty of nutritious food so that they stay healthy and provide good quality milk. With 80% of corn production in the U.S. being of the GMO variety, the non GMO variety is hard to obtain and is usually limited to organic farms. For this reason our farmer-owners have not banned their own use of GMOs.
If you can't find what you're looking for, ask your local store manager to begin carrying Cabot products.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Nice earring with reduced price
By CAT
from Saskatoon
My initial hesitation with these earrings was the price point so I was happy to find them on sale and purchased them again. I am so disappointed to have to return them but I'm reacting to the 10k white gold. While nickel free (like the sterling earrings I've tried in the past),there is some composite in the gold that triggers an allergic reaction. For anyone who doesn't have this problem, it is a pretty earring and the wire has nice thickness.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice Earring, limited sparkle
The earrings are substantial and secure but given how they sit on my ear, there was little sparkle. I like the earrings but for the price, I need to love them to keep them.

2 thoughts on "New Times for the Blog"
I like it! Good luck with the new era of your blog!
Yes, I have changed the theme and the look is different now, which means that the format of many others posts is a bit weird at the moment but I hope I will tidy up as soon as possible.
I'm definitely going to miss very much the Polaroids of the old theme -I loved them- but it was just too basic and this one makes my life easier and it does fit more with the new times that the blog is going to have. I hope you also like the new Martina's house.
Bare with me while I pick up the feather duster and do the last bits of tiding up!
What do you think about the new look?

Is purpose really an effective motivator?
Over at the Inside Influence Report, Noah Goldstein writes about a recent study that examined whether infusing a task with purpose can motivate high performance.

What is your sentence? (Curacao edition)
At the International School of Curacao, teacher Danny Kinzer asked his Theory of Knowledge students to undertake the "What's your sentence?" described in Lindsey Testolin's remarkable video and on page 154 of Drive. Then each participant posted his or her answer on the school bulletin board.
9th graders ask themselves: "What's my sentence?"
Tasha Graff, a 9th grade English teacher at Morse High School in Bath, Maine, saw the Drive video excerpt, and decided to play it for her class. Then she asked her students to answer the question posed in the video and in an exercise on page 154 of the book. Here's a sample of their […]
What happens when a dad pays his kids to play videogames?
Kevin Nalts is a very funny guy with a penchant for social psychology. In this video, he announces an experiment in which he'll pay his kids to play videogames in a seemingly peculiar effort to reduce their playing time. Think it'll work? We'll report the results in a few days.

As part of his effort to spark conversations, he's interviewed several other authors about their work — and how their ideas relate to his. Below is the interview Seth did with me on […]
Raises *do* matter
Monday's USA Today has a largely positive review of Drive ("fascinating . . . a powerhouse") that bears an unfortunate headline: "Raises Make Bad Motivators." At the risk of sounding like a peevish author picking nits from the tangled hair of quickly forgotten reviews, let me do precisely that. Drive never says that raises aren't […]
There's an app for, uh, anything
Okay. I've done it. I've created my own iPhone app. With the help of the amazing folks at Mobile Roadie, we've launched the official (sic) Daniel Pink app. You can download it — it's free! — from iTunes. What's cool about apps in general, and this one in particular, is that they feel like web sites […]

Dear Reader,
Zimbabwe's two main political parties – ZANU-PF and the MDC-T – are in fierce debates over the new constitution. President Robert Mugabe has demanded major amendments to the draft including removing a running mates clause whereby vice-presidents would be elected on joint tickets with presidents, but Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has rejected calls for renegotiation and condemned the delay to proceedings. Some rights groups are also eager to see the new constitution ratified given its improved gender rights. Meanwhile, there are some concerns in Tanzania that their constitution consultation process will not allow all parties to air their views.
Following the death of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, Think Africa Press has been assessing his time in office and his unique character. Meles was hugely influential in the Horn of Africa, central to Ethiopia's politics and economy, and as intelligent as he was ruthless and repressive – it is unlikely the region will see a similar leader for some time. What a post-Meles era will look like remains to be seen.
UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos is visiting Mali this week where more than 430,000 Malians have been displaced by conflict and food shortages. The conflict, involving many groups with different ideologies, has proven to be volatile and fluid, while relief agencies are concerned that a shortfall in funding will compromise their efforts in the region.

Are children welcome at Blue Lagoon?
We welcome children of all ages, however we do expect children to be at their best behavior as most of our guests come here to relax and enjoy some tranquility.
The depth of the lagoon is 90-160 cm/ 2,9-5,3 ft and therefore it is important to watch children closely. For safety reasons all children under the age of 9 are required to wear arm floaters while in the Lagoon. We do offer arm floaters free of charge for those who need them upon entering the lagoon. However if you prefer you can of course bring and use your own.
Children under the age of 14 are free of charge when accompanied by their guardians (Only 2 children/teenagers per 1 adult).
