SOUTHBURY — Is there a problem with hoarding in Southbury?
First Selectman Ed Edelson isn't sure, but he thinks it's time for the Board of Selectmen to discuss it.

" Is this really a "public safety" concern or is it a effort to rid this upscale hoity-toity community of low life undesirables like hoarders? Haven forbid it should ever get out that Southbury had hoarders. Why people might not want to buy those million dollar homes and live in the same neighborhood as scum like hoarders. They do forget that this was once strictly a farming town populated by Yankees who threw nothing out with their use it up wear it out attitude. "

I snicker because I always knew home ownership in this country is a scam. If a big company said they could pay more taxes than you if they owned your land they would throw you on the street with the courts...because....that is right...you don't really own it slave. "

In an apparent guerilla stunt, a wildlife sculpture in downtown Vancouver has been "caught" in a giant plastic 6-pack ring. The sculpture, located at the corner of Georgia and Thurlow Streets, depicts two dolphins, whose necks are now caught in the giant plastic rings marked with the "PlasticPollutionCoalition.org" web address.
This stunt is a large-scale reminder of the dangers of litter, particularly plastics, in our ocean. Approximately 75-80 million tons of plastics are used every year to produce the world's food packaging alone, and a large proportion of these plastics inevitably end up in our oceans. Almost 80% of the garbage found in the ocean comes from land-based sources, with the majority being packaging and food containers like the ubiquitous 6-pack ring featured in this guerilla demonstration. This garbage kills sea creatures by strangling them, drowning them through entanglement, or even starving them through malnutrition when ingested debris in the creatures' stomachs prevents them from getting the food and nutrients that they require.
We continue to be astounded by the generosity of our supporters, and seven-year-old ocean lover and artist Wyatt Workman is one shining example.
Last week Wyatt held an art show to benefit Oceana that raised a whopping $2,400 for ocean conservation. Seven years old! People, this is one cool kid.
Around 200 people came to the show, where Wyatt displayed and sold his own art, plus a movie and book he made this summer about the ocean "trash monster", and a T-shirt he designed that says "I am NOT a Trash Monster!" Wyatt and his friends talked to visitors about ocean pollution and convinced them to sign his pledge to use less plastic.
Thank you so much, Wyatt and friends!

I like this trio: I have the bold nudes (pink/brown/green) and it's highly pigmented, stays all day and is easy to blend. It does bring out the green in my eyes. The colors are great for a day makeup. The brush is crappy and i don't use it, I'm using the MSC fluff brush (213) and a shorter shader brush for the crease.
I took off a lip pie for the useless brush and the cheap plastic container. But the shadows are great quality.

I love the colors in this palette, especially the dark purple eye shadow. My mom originally had this, and after using it a few times, I bought my own. It is very pigmented and does have alot of fallout, but it does make green eyes really POP. The key is to put it on the lashlines and outer corner, not on your whole lid. The only complaint is that the shadows crumble easily and both of ours fell apart.

Like the previous review "Almay has a couple of shadow trio's that play up the green eyes. This is the trio that's shaped like an eye lid with wine/taupe/champagne." NOT the one with the straight strips which I quite like very much. THIS one shaped like the eyelid, it is difficult to pick up the color, but with alot of work it can be done, but after a couple of hours the color just kinda washes away and looks muddy.
LOVE the one with the straight strips, why make a new version that is bad quality??

Almay has a couple of shadow trio's that play up the green eyes. This is the trio that's shaped like an eye lid with wine/taupe/champagne.
THE COLORS: the largest "slot" is a wine/copper color, that can easily look like you ran into a doorknob is you don't have a light touch. Its very pigmented. The midtone or the "crease" slot is a taupey/silver/grey color. Its actually very pretty. The last is the highlight "browbone" slot. Its a champagne color with a hint of rosegold. All of them are very shimmery. All of them are pretty pigmented.
THE QUALITY: There is a lot of fallout with these but they are not dusty at all. They blend well, but when you use the sponge applicator included it kind of mucks up the shadow, like there is a lot of oil in the shadow so get these spots in the pan where is sticks and wont pick up color on the applicator. Tried using a eye shadow brush but the fallout was incredible!
THE PACKAGE: Really Almay? the shape of an eyelid? Its like remedial eye makeup. "Lets put them in pans so they will know which color goes where!" If that's the case, then they got it wrong. You get way to much of an accent color and not enough of what you'll use most.
OVERALL: As annoying as the trio is (and it is) I still friggin reach for it when I'm wearing warm colors because it really does make my green eyes POP. The trick is to blend blend blend and a light hand on that wine color. I hate that this works.I only bought it because it was free when I bought the mascara. Who would have thought?

This the second trio I've bought from Almay. Loved my first trio it had a highlighter, pink and brown shade, I would buy that one again. Not so this one; this one has a greyish white, dark grey and greyish silver , just a really weird mix.right now they just don't work and just end up looking muddy.I may have to play with these over different bases.

I love the way that this shadow looks. It's simple and natural-looking, which is very important. Most shadows to bring out/play up green eyes have been green, and frankly, green shadows just make my eyes look hazel. The colors in this set play up the green in my eyes as well as the gold undertones. Since I'm not a huge makeup wearer, I'm not sure if I would ever get a chance to buy it again, but if I did use it up, I would buy it again.

I purchased this trio a couple months ago and I have worn it nearly every day since then and I can still see the imprints in the shadows so I anticipate it lasting a loooong time. I have gotten a little bored with it at times but I come back after a while because it is the perfect daytime palette. The colors are very complementary and I like the fact that they are buildable, rather than hyper-pigmented. Very natural.
The only reason I gave it a 4 is because I don't think it does too much for my eye color. I have really, really, really green eyes and I feel like this palette might bring out a little of the gold undertones/flecks rather than enhancing the green, but I'm fine with it because the colors are gorgeous.

LOVE these shadows. The champagne and the mauve shadow have a nice but not overdone shimmer to them, and the wine colored shadow is matte, and I love to have a mix of finishes in a trio like this. They apply smoothly and wear well, and yes, they really will intensify any green in your eye color. Also, I like that they apply softly, as I prefer to build up colors to my desired intensity, rather than attempting to blend down. And even though I am a makeup hoarder, these are truly unique in my collection!! Also, the champagne color in this is quite special....it flashes a very subtle touch of rosy pink...it's sooo pretty. I don't have anything negative to say about these...I didn't even wait for them to go on sale or BOGO to get them....which means I wanted them pretty bad and they do not disappoint :)

I really like this eye shadow. I have used the one for bringing out hazel eyes for a couple of years now and I was lookinf for something different so I thought I would give this one a try. Beautiful colors that make my hazel eys look greener. A little goes a long way and it has great staying power. Will buy again.

What is the best source of calcium on the market?
- Q: What is the best source of calcium on the market? Is liquid calcium a good choice?
- A: It is important to inquire about over-the-counter (OTC) supplements before taking them. The requirement for supplementation is extremely patient-specific. It depends on various factors including diet, lifestyle, medical and prescription history, and individual risk factors. You may want to contact your health care provider regarding calcium supplementation to determine what is recommended based on your specific needs. Many patients are able to get the recommended intake of calcium through a balanced diet. In general, dietary supplements should only be taken under the supervision of your health care provider. For more specific information, consult with your doctor for guidance based on your specific condition and current medications. Beth Isaac, PharmD

To eat or not to eat, that is not the question in Halifax. Where not to eat, that's the question here.
Walking around the city's hilly streets fires up a man's appetite, not to mention thirst, the latter easily slaked in the endless bars in this marvelous, liquor-laced city.
The sheer preponderance of wickedly good food of all culinary stripe also lurks around every historic corner, making my already sluggish decision something more of a delightful chore.
For lunch one day, I opted for the Red Stag Tavern in the Keith Brewery, where I'd taken the tour. The tavern is glorious and fun, with tartan-wearing waitstaffers. My waiter told me Red Stag had Nova Scotia's best fish and chips.
C'mon, laddie, I'm from Boston, you expect me to believe that, do ya now?
My bad. He was absolutely right. Thick, moist, crunchy, this was hands down the best ever. And the seafood chowder to go with it, brimming with shrimp, clams and scallops, beat anything Boston ever served me, too.
What's not to love about a place named the Economy Shoe Shop? It's a dark, multi-leveled place with just the slightest hint of snoot in the waitstaff.
The name comes not from the place once selling shoes, but a sign the owners got from an old shoe store over on Barrington Street.
It is a place of worn plank floors, rough-hewn beamed ceilings and for some reason, trees inside, fake I'm guessing (when I say it's dark in there, it's dark in there) with leaves and limbs all over. Made me feel like I was camping out.
No matter, the food was pretty good, my shrimp and chicken carbonara a decent dish for 16 bucks. I sat alone by an alcove, staring at me from which was a rendering of the Mona Lisa.
Wandered over to the Lower Deck on the waterfront, where you can eat upstairs or down and be glad in either place, both having their own ambience, upper being water views, lower being a classic, woody Halifax bar.
I went upstairs, had a killer burger and Alexander Keith beer, and when I got back to my car, my dessert was yet another instance of legendary Halifax friendliness: The garage attendant, noting the short time I'd been gone, waved me through without paying.
I checked out Hydrostone Market one day, and reveled in the offerings at Julien's Patisserie and Café, sipping coffee outside and munching the most delectable cheese croissant I've ever had the pleasure of crumbing up into my lap.
Chatted up a young lady outside with a very active pooch, and where staffers inside, noting her reluctance to leave the pup alone, took her order in a shout and brought it to her on the sidewalk. Nice touch, that.
Dinner at the Wooden Monkey one night brought me face to face with the city's wonderful connectivity; here I saw a musician, Ben Kaplan, a bearded, affable sort who I'd seen in his interpreter's job on the Keith Brewery Tour.
I had a beer upstairs and ate communally down; the place was jammed so I took a seat with a pair of travelling friends and the resulting conversation of our life experience was most rewarding.
Oh, and the organic, macrobiotic and local food was insanely good.
I am absolutely chagrined to say I never sampled a donair, the curious Halifax concoction that's a variation on the traditional Greek gyro, only with beef instead of lamb and a sweet sauce (donair sauce, natch) in lieu of tzatziki.
It really does fill me with shame that I didn't get to try a donair. But I was so stuffed from all my other dining, I just couldn't.
I did find it most interesting that at Pizza Corner, the intersect of Blowers and Grafton, you have the European Food Shop on one corner touting "Original Donairs!" and on the other KOD – The King of Donairs.
No idea which is better but my guess is both. I'll just have to come back for another visit to experience the delight of donairs.
If yoo hungry in Halifax, you're just not trying hard enough, because you can't go wrong no matter where you go.
My best advice: Chew faster. So much food, so little time.
Paul E. Kandarian is a Boston-based freelance travel writer and photographer whose work has appeared in the Boston Globe, Cape Air in-flight magazine, Upscale Living magazine, Go Caribbean and many others. He prefers warm-weather climes but will go wherever the fun…err work, is.
A lovely article on Halifax and its food offerings. Wonderful pictures too.
It's a shame you didn't get to try the donair. It is so much better and more memorable than gyros with its spicy beef meatloaf slow cooked on a spit and sweet, garlic tang of the donair sauce.
The Lower Deck and the Red Stag also have an amazing sandwich called the Foccacia Chicken Clubhouse with grilled chicken breast, bacon, tomato and real sliced cheese on toasted foccacia bread with chipotle mayo and romaine lettuce or field greens. A truly wonderful experience. They also have incredible musical talent there with Paul Lamb and Cory Tetford who play matinees every Friday and Saturday night and Signal Hill to mention two of their great acts.
Pizza corner is wonderful too. The Sicilian is especially a favourite of mine.
Big Leagues in Cole Harbour has the best wings around, especially the medium. The sauce is made locally and unfortunately not available in stores, only to restaurants. It has a bit of heat and a delectable tang.

botox touch-ups frequency?
i'm doing every 4 months, but you're suppose to do every 3. any one here go longer than every 4 months with good results? i know someone that only has to have her lips done once every year and a half because that's how long it last on her (only person the doctor knew like that) just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences with botox?
I do mine every 3 months on the dot, like clockwork :D
I haven't since because the economy sucks.
As a general rule, Botox will last between 3 and 6 months, so if you are going every 4 months and are happy with your results, there is no need to go more frequently. If administered expertly, Botox can last longer. For many of my patients, their results last 6-9 months; some even last up to a year! So, the idea is to go back for more when you need to, not because of a generic schedule. If you are in California, stop by Epione in Beverly Hils and try our Botox program. We do more Botox procedures than any other office in California, and we only use the maximum strength Botox, so your results will last longer!
Less Frequent Doses Of Botox Still Result In Reduced Wrinkles
Less Frequent Doses Of Botox Still Result In Reduced Wrinkles
botox every 3/4 months
I'm always every 3 to 4 months for around my eyes and bunny lines. . .the transverse line above my nose only needs one or two units and that can go 5 months:)
mine goes every six months, i guess it also depends on the severity of your wrinkles as well as your skin type. some people just appears to have stubborn wrinkles that's causing botox not to last for atleast 6 months.

My boss just stunned me
- 41Jan 12, '12 by SuesquatchRNThere's a stomach bug going around the office. People have been out with it. I went in with it. I was told to go home, we don't want it and we don't want our patients to get it.
I have been told to wear a mask, to wash my hands, but NEVER has a boss in nursing been human enough to send me home!
I love my job.
- 5Jan 12, '12 by MulticollinearityHuh. Amazing, from what I read on this board! Rest up and feel better. I confess my workplace is like this. I've never been pressured to work when sick. I've only been told, sincerely, rest, feel better, and take the time you need.
- 1Jan 12, '12 by MinnieMomRNFeel better Sue!
- 2Jan 12, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNchicken soup-- not that "for the nursing soul" crap, the real thing, with a little extra schmaltz. just inhaling the vapors will cure anything. feel better soon!
- 2Jan 12, '12 by LoveMyBugsWhen I was a CNA in nursing school the hosptial I worked for was very similar. We had a bug that hit the 6th floor and was working its way through the house. Staff was getting sent home for coughing sniffles etc.
Then once we were out sick we had to be cleared by employee health before we could return to work. I had felt fine for 2 shifts, but wasn't allowed back becasue my voice was still raspy, and they were not taking any chances.
- 2Jan 12, '12 by KelRN215, BSN, RNHaha... my floor would send someone home and not allow them to come back until they were symptom free for 72 hours if they had the GI bug. BUT, if they had previously called out within the past 3 months, they'd still get a warning for "excessive absenteeism".
- 5Jan 12, '12 by chashmonityeah, as long as you don't get penalized for getting sent home--which is the policy at our facility. if we leave (even sent home) before half of our shift is complete, we are penalized with a point system...after a few points (fewer than 10) you are automatically terminated.
also for calling out sick, missing a clock punch, any unauthorized absence (which includes a surgical procedure or illness for which you have not been approved leave)
are only the hands on health care workers required to have integrity so they take every hit and the facility takes the credit but has no integrity? i'm totally disgusted.
- 5Jan 12, '12 by SuesquatchRNThat was my experience every other place I've ever worked. No mercy.
- 2Jan 12, '12 by DroogieRNThat's so nice, to be treated like an actual human! Hope you feel better soon. At my facility, we get three call-offs a YEAR.

There is a difference between dark eye circles and dark spots.
For dark spots, i.e. "aging," consider the following: Alpha Arbutin blocks the effects of melanin on the skin removing dark spots quickly and safely
Resveratol is another [powerful melanin blocker. Tests compound of organic materials, it reduces melanin production by 5 percent. Give it some time; six weeks is usually when your dark spots disappear. Sepicalm-s is a powerful anti-pigment and anti inflammatory agents on the market. Look into rice peptone, also. I use it for around the eye dark spots, non medically caused.

Fiji Time: 2:32 AM on Monday 22 December
/ Front page / Business
Thursday, January 25, 2007
BUSINESS tycoon Hari Punja says the Interim Government needs to expand the economy and make the country rich before it can attend to the needs of the poor.
This, he said, should be carried out by encouraging more investment and exports.
He said the matter was sensitive and was a delicate issue that he did not wish to be drawn into.
He said he preferred to "remain on the commercial side of it."
"It's political and I don't want to go into it right now," he said yesterday when pressed for an explanation on what exactly he meant when he first made the statements on the Fiji Broadcasting Corporation Ltd's Radio Fiji Gold station yesterday.
Mr Punja told the radio station that in order to help the poor, the Interim Government needed to first make money. He reportedly told the station that for the Interim Government Budget to help the poor, big companies must first be helped with their exports.
He said more money would be generated to allow the Government to help the poor.
"The important thing is our economy must grow. I do understand that the Minister of Finance likes to help the poor but people can only be helped if we have the money to help them and the money will come through exports, types of business my company is involved in and therefore if he promotes companies like mine, he will have plenty of money to help poor people," Mr Punja told the station.
A senior official in the Prime Minister's office said critics should be encouraged to throw in constructive ideas to help the civil service machinery take the country forward.
Mr Punja is Fiji's most successful businessman, with 15 companies in the Hari Punja and Sons group. He is also one of Fiji's largest domestic investors.

Date 2005-08-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractA tree is known by its fruit (Matthew 7:16), and a person's priorities are known by reading his diary! We try so hard to be something we are not and often we succeed, … but it is only for a short moment, or maybe two…
The words you and I speak become a mirror, reflecting our heart's content to whoever wants to listen. James asks this question; "Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?" (James 3:11 - NIV) How then, is it possible to speak peace and war from the same tongue? How could I bless and curse, all in one breath? How could I declare my love for my Lord, yet crucify him from the same heart? How could I love my neighbour with bloodstained hands?
How could we declare victory in the cross at Calvary, where our Saviour died? How could we claim to be victorious in Jesus, saying that we will reign with him forever, (Rev 22: 5) and yet, as Christians, we are crucified over and over again?

- Globale Zukunft (2008)
- E-book: Beiträge zu Fragen des Klimawandels, der Energieversorgung, Politik, Wirtschaft, Religionen u.a.m.Wir leben im Zeitalter der Globalisierung.Was sich schon seit Beginn der Neuzeit entwickelte, hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten durch die modernen Verkehrs- und Kommunikationsmittel sprunghaft konkretisiert: Die Länder der Erde befinden sich nicht nur in einem immer dichter werdenden Netz allseitiger Beziehungen auf den verschiedenen Lebensbereichen (wie Wirtschaft, Kultur u.a.); vielmehr setzt sich auch zunehmend das Bewusstsein durch, dass wir als Menschheit in der Tat den einen Globus miteinander teilen, also auch ein gemeinsames Schicksal haben. Durch die Art wie wir leben (vor allem in den Industrie- und Schwellenländern) sind aber Entwicklungen in Gang gesetzt worden, die die Zukunft der Menschheit als risikovoll erscheinen lassen. Erhebliche Veränderungen unserer Lebensmöglichkeiten bis hin zur Selbstzerstörung sind zu befürchten. Wir Menschen von heute sind also genötigt, um unserer selbst bzw. unserer Nachkommen willen die Frage der globalen Zukunft zum Thema unseres gemeinsamen Nachdenkens und Handelns zu machen. Zu den meisten Problemgebieten, die hier zu bearbeiten sind, gibt es inzwischen eine Fülle von Untersuchungen. Selten ist es jedoch bisher versucht worden, diese Probleme in ihrem Zusammenhang und ihrer gegenseitiger Abhängigkeit zu behandeln. Das erscheint aber notwendig, um sich der Frage nach der Zukunft auf unserer Erde adäquat zu nähern.
- The Effect of Zr-Doping and Crystallite Size on the Mechanical Properties of TiO2 Rutile and Anatase (2008)
- TiO2 is an important technological material, used as white pigment, as wide band gap semiconductor in electrochemical dye solar cells, for photocatalysis and in photochemical energy-conversion processes. The most abundant phases are rutile, anatase and brookite. In addition, there are a number of metastable low density modifications. The compression behavior of anatase and rutile was studied for TiO2 and Ti0.9Zr0.1O2 starting materials with crystallite size in the micro- and also nanometer range. Quenched samples of rutile, anatase and high pressure polymorphs synthesized at up to 10 GPa adopt 10 mol% ZrO2, Zr-doped TiO2 starting materials therefore have the composition Ti0.9Zr0.1O2. Compression experiments were carried out in the diamond anvil cell and samples were characterized by in-situ X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption and Raman spectroscopic measurements. A sol-gel route was developed for the synthesis of nanoscale anatase Tix:Zr1-xO2 with x=0.90 and 1.0, which was annealed at 1000°C to microscale rutile. In hydrothermal experiments, nanoscale anatase Ti0.9Zr0.1O2 was used as starting material for the synthesis of microscale Zr-doped anatase. Neither the incorporation of Zr nor the decrease of crystallite size to the nanometer range modifies the bulk modulus of rutile. These results are different from those of anatase, where a decreasse of crystallite size and doping with Zr leads to an increase of the bulk modulus. Second order EoS fits (K0'=4) resulted in a bulk modulus of microscale anatase of K0=178 GPa and K0=179 GPa. The nanoscale counterpart shows much higher values of K0=237 GPa and K0=243 GPa. In this study, it was found that microscale anatase Ti0.90Zr0.10O2 has K0=195 GPa, which is comparable to undoped material. Largest values were found for nanoscale anatase Ti0.90Zr0.10O2 with K0=258 GPa. Zr-doping thus reduces the compressibility of nanoanatase, even though ZrO2 polymorphs are more compressible than the corresponding TiO2 forms. For the Zr-doped nanoanatase, XRD analysis showed a significant change in compression behavior at pressures 4 GPa, suggested as a consequence of deviatoric stresses during experimental compression of the nanoscale material. Computations on supercells with different distances of neighboring Zr-atoms suggested cluster formation of Zr in the (Ti,Zr)O2 anatase. The resulting structural distortions can further augment the change in compression behavior. Zr-doped nanoanatase becomes stiffer upon multiple compression cycles. While the bulk modulus of the first compression was 211 GPa, after the sample was decompressed, the second compression showed a bulk modulus of 249 GPa. We suggest that partial pressure induced amorphization plays an important role for the observed stiffening. Anatase and rutile TiO2 transform to the MI phase upon compression. The transition pressure increases with a decreasing crystallite size from 12 GPa for microscale material to 18 GPa for crystallite size of 12 nm. For anatase, smaller particles transform to an amorphous phase at pressures of 20–24 GPa. Zr-doping does not seem to vary the transformation pressure. Ab-initio all-electron density functional electronic structure simulations on the ground state energetics of the TiO2 phases rutile, anatase, brookite, TiO2II and MI-phase were performed using the projector augmented wave and the linear augmented plane wave methods along with local density approximation (LDA) and two types of generalized gradient approximations (GGA), using the formulations by Perdew, Bunge and Enzerhoff, referred to as PBE, and by Wu and Cohen, reffered to as WC. The zero pressure volumes are predicted smaller by <3% in LDA computations and larger by 8 and 0.4% in PBE and WC computations. The stable structure at 0 GPa is baddeleyite for LDA computations and anatase for GGA computations, contradicting experimental results that determine rutile as the most stable phase. Rutile appears to have the highest energy in LDA computations and intermediate energy in GGA computations.
- Existence and stability of stellardynamic models (2008)
- We examine existence and stability of stationary solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system. This system is used in stellardynmaics to describe the evolution of galaxies where collissions are neglected and the evolution is determined by the self-consistent gravitational field which is created by the particles, e.g. the stars . In the first part we examine steady states which decsribe static shells under the influence of a fixed point mass. These solutions can be used as a model for a galaxy with a massive black hole in its center. For the Vlasov--Poisson system under the influence of such a point mass, we prove a global existence result. In the second part, we construct axially symmetric solutions depending on Jacobis integral. The presented results are in accordance with the numerical examinations of the P.O. Vandervoort.
- Stability of flat galaxies (2008)
- In this thesis we investigate the existence and properties of stationary solutions of the flat Vlasov-Poisson system. This system of partial differential equations can be used as a model of extremely flat astronomical objects and is a combination between the two-dimensional motion of particles and the three-dimensional interaction through their gravitational potential.
- Bounds for the minimum oriented diameter (2008)
- We consider the problem of finding an orientation with minimum diameter of a connected bridgeless graph. Fomin et. al. discovered a relation between the minimum oriented diameter an the size of a minimal dominating set. We improve their upper bound.
- The Top-Dog Index: A New Measurement for the Demand Consistency of the Size Distribution in Pre-Pack Orders for a Fashion Discounter with Many Small Branches (2008)
- We propose the new Top-Dog-Index, a measure for the branch-dependent historic deviation of the supply data of apparel sizes from the sales data of a fashion discounter. A common approach is to estimate demand for sizes directly from the sales data. This approach may yield information for the demand for sizes if aggregated over all branches and products. However, as we will show in a real-world business case, this direct approach is in general not capable to provide information about each branchs individual demand for sizes: the supply per branch is so small that either the number of sales is statistically too small for a good estimate (early measurement) or there will be too much unsatisfied demand neglected in the sales data (late measurement). Moreover, in our real-world data we could not verify any of the demand distribution assumptions suggested in the literature. Our approach cannot estimate the demand for sizes directly. It can, however, individually measure for each branch the scarcest and the amplest sizes, aggregated over all products. This measurement can iteratively be used to adapt the size distributions in the pre-pack orders for the future. A real-world blind study shows the potential of this distribution free heuristic optimization approach: The gross yield measured in percent of gross value was almost one percentage point higher in the test-group branches than in the control-group branches.
- Maximal integral point sets over Z^2 (2008)
- Geometrical objects with integral side lengths have fascinated mathematicians through the ages. We call a set P={p(1),...,p(n)} in Z^2 a maximal integral point set over Z^2 if all pairwise distances are integral and every additional point p(n+1) destroys this property. Here we consider such sets for a given cardinality and with minimum possible diameter. We determine some exact values via exhaustive search and give several constructions for arbitrary cardinalities. Since we cannot guarantee the maximality in these cases we describe an algorithm to prove or disprove the maximality of a given integral point set. We additionally consider restrictions as no three points on a line and no four points on a circle.
- Function of the ATP-dependent Metalloprotease FtsH during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis (2008)
- The analysis of the function of the ftsH gene of Bacillus subtilis started about ten years ago. It was shown at that time that an ftsH knockout was viable, but exhibited a pleiotropic phenotype. Cells are sensitive to salt and heat shock, exhibit filamentous growth, are difficult to be transformed and are almost unable to sporulate. Despite the severe phenotype caused by the absence of the ftsH gene, the precise functions of this protein remained unclear. This PhD thesis presents data to elucidate the function of ftsH during sporulation. Furthermore, it describes the construction of a cold-inducible expression system. The major finding of this thesis is that the FtsH protease interferes with the synthesis and/or phosphorylation of Spo0A, the master regulator during initiation of sporulation called phase 0. In the ftsH knockout, the amount of Spo0A is greatly reduced, and the small amounts present are inactive. When the wild-type spo0A allele was replaced by an IPTG-inducible allele coding for mutant Spo0A protein being fully active in the absence of phosphorylation (Spo0A-Sad67), spores were formed at a normal rate in an ftsH knockout. Again, this result indicates that FtsH is clearly involved in the formation of active Spo0A and that this protease is only essential during stage 0 of sporulation. To become active, Spo0A needs to be phosphorylated by the multi-component system called phosphorelay. Since no active Spo0A is present in an ftsH knockout, it was hypothesized that FtsH has to degrade one or more negative regulator(s) either preventing the phosphorylation of Spo0A or/and being involving in its rapid dephosphorylation. The further analysis focused on four antagonists of the phosphorelay, three Rap phosphatases being involved in the dephosphorylation of Spo0F~P, and Spo0E which targets Spo0A~P. When a null allele in any one of them was combined with the ftsH knockout, the wild-type amount of Spo0A was restored only in the case of the ftsH spo0E knockout and the sporulation frequency was increased by two to three orders of magnitude in all double knockouts, but remained below 1%. Since overexpression of Spo0E reduces the sporulation frequency and removal of the gene from the genome has an opposite effect, a direct interaction between FtsH and Spo0E was envisaged. In vitro proteolysis assays with purified GST-FtsH and GST-Spo0E showed that Spo0E is indeed a target of FtsH. In contrast, the two homologs of Spo0E, YisI and YnzD, remained stable upon incubation with FtsH. Since all three proteins are distinguished by a C-terminal extension of about 25 amino acids present in Spo0E, but not in the two other phosphatases, these additional amino acids could serve as a target for FtsH. When two mutant versions of Spo0E, Spo0E94 and Spo0E11, with truncated C-terminal ends were analyzed, they turned out to be stable in the presence of FtsH. When the C-terminal 25 amino acids was transferred to YnzD, this fusion protein became unstable when incubated with FtsH. In conclusion, the C-terminal end of Spo0E confers instability to this enzyme. Since a spo0E knockout in a wild-type background does not result in a sporulation frequency close to 100% and a combination of a spo0E and an ftsH knockout raises the sporulation frequency only close to 1%, it can be concluded that there are additional targets for FtsH interfering with the synthesis of active Spo0A. Moreover, it is likely that FtsH also exerts a function late during sporulation. It could be shown that SpoVM, a small peptide essential for spore morphogenesis, inhibits the proteolytic activity of the B. subtilis FtsH protease in vitro. It can be inferred that SpoVM also inhibits activity of FtsH during sporulation, and in the absence of SpoVM, FtsH will degrade at least one protein essential for successful completion of sporulation. When the intracellular proteomes of spoVM+ and spoVM- cells were compared, a total of 83 proteins were identified being either completely absent or present in reduced amounts in the absence of the peptide. Analysis of the expression of the spoVM gene revealed that cells started to synthesize the spoVM transcript at stage 2 while the SpoVM peptide accumulated at stage 4. The 5´ untranslated region of the spoVM transcript has been identified to act as a negative regulator of its own transcription or translation. Furthermore, a cold-inducible expression system has been constructed allowing intra- and extracellular production of recombinant proteins. This expression system makes use of a two-component signal transduction system, which senses changes in the fluidity of the cytoplasmic membrane.
- Vulnerability to Drought Risk and Famine: Local Responses and External Interventions among the Afar of Ethiopia, a study on the Aghini Pastoral Community (2008)
- In East African countries drought-related famine has been a number one risk. Ethiopia is among those countries that are repeatedly stricken by recurrent famine. Agricultural and pastoral households have increasingly become vulnerable to famine. The successive Ethiopian governments attributed the recurring famine and hunger to natural events, particularly to droughts. However, though drought triggers famines, it does not necessarily lead to famine disaster in every context. This is the current tone of literature in disaster causation. Each famine has its own specific causes in each context and this requires exploring the causal factors thereof. This study in the Afar region, in north-east Ethiopia, attempts to explain the root causes of vulnerability to famine, and assess the local and external responses. The central argument of the research is that pastoralists' vulnerability to famine and food crisis has increased overtime because of the complex interplay of multiple factors such as environmental or ecological degradation, socio-economic destabilization, and political processes. It is also stated that despite efforts of internal and external actors, vulnerability of the pastoral groups to famine has increased over time. In that respect the study attempts to explain how these factors have led to an increase of vulnerability and livelihood insecurity among the Afar pastoralists. Three specific arguments are addressed through analyzing both secondary and primary data. These are: The Afar pastoralists' vulnerability to famine has increased over the past decades because of the combined effects of drought, ecological crisis and external pressures (encroachments, loss of key pastoral resources, violent conflict and political instability). Pastoral households/communities are currently less able to cope with stresses through their traditional coping and adaptive strategies. Consequently, pastoral households/communities have become more dependent on public transfer (food aid) to cope with recurring food crisis. The empirical research used both qualitative and quantitative data in addressing the basic research questions. The outline of the research is structured to suit an approach of presenting discussions at macro and micro levels. An assessment of factors both, at macro (regional/national) and micro (community) levels, is made on the basis of secondary and primary data respectively. Accordingly, factors related to ecological degradation, socio-political processes and recurrent droughts, etc. are examined. The extent of these problems at the macro level is assessed mainly based on secondary data, while the magnitude of these problems at micro (community) level is assessed on the basis of primary data gathered through a household survey, and individual and focus group interviews. Based on the analyses of both primary and secondary data the research attempts to answer the question why the Afar pastoralists' vulnerability to famine has increased over time and how the local and external actors have responded to recurring famine. The search for explanations of vulnerability to famine focuses on highlighting the interplay of multiple causal factors at different levels within historical socio-political and economic processes overlapping with ecological crisis and recurrent drought. Accordingly the research highlights the major factors that have created vulnerability to famine. These include: External pressures which include state intervention, land alienation, encroachment by cultivators, loss of dry season/drought retreats, curtailment of mobility and unfavourable terms of trade. Stresses which include frequent drought, conflicts, political instability, weakening mutual support systems, lack of trust in formal government institutions due to non-participatory, lack of commitment, patron-client relationship, and corruption. Ecological/environmental crises which are reflected in terms of loss of key pastoral resources (grass, natural fodder vegetation, and water). The conclusion of the research is that famine and the increase of vulnerability are not primarily the consequences of drought, but of external domination and uneven development. This suggests that the genesis of food crisis (famine) must be understood as an interaction of institutional, economic and political variables. Natural events like droughts don't necessarily lead to famine in all contexts. It is only when livelihood assets are eroded, opportunities are constrained and people are not well-prepared that the consequences of natural events develop into famine or food crisis. This suggests that production or yield failures caused by drought do not become famines unless other conditions are propitious. Therefore, the current approach in social science research with regard to disaster causation is to look at the interrelationship between natural risks and social vulnerability.
- Experimental Constraints on Silicate Perovskite Forming Reactions and Elastic Properties: Geophysical Implications for Chemical Heterogeneity in the Deep Mantle (2008)
- Three experimental investigations have been performed in order to understand how the composition of the mantle may influence mineral stability and elastic properties and how these may influence seismic properties of the deep mantle. The phase relations of calcium perovskite have been studied in high pressure and temperature experiments to examine the effect of its formation on seismic discontinuity features at 520 km depth in the mantle. The effect of varying composition on the compressibility of magnesium silicate perovskite has been examined in order to understand the geophysical consequences of chemical heterogeneity in the lower mantle. Calorimetric measurements of the pyrope-majorite garnet solid solution have been made to provide essential thermodynamic data for modeling the formation reactions of both magnesium and calcium silicate perovskite.

Strider carving onto PC and consoles starting February 18
by Steve Watts, shacknews.com, Feb 5, 2014 9:00AM PST
Capcom's revival of the classic slice-em-up Strider is set to hit this month as promised. Capcom announced today that it will strike first on February 18 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, followed by a parry-thrust onto PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on February 19. It will cost $14.99 across all platforms.
Paired with the release announcement was the announcement of two Challenge Modes added to complement the main story campaign. Beacon Run is modeled after the popular speed-run trend, having you carve your way through enemies while racing to the next checkpoint. Survival is, as you might expect, an endurance mode that pits you against waves of enemies, all while having your item and ability load-outs selected for you.
Those modes, and your stats from the Story Mode, will be tracked for online leaderboards, and you can collect a variety of costumes to dress up your Strider Hiryu in fancy duds.

Bob Wills - Texas Legend
Take me back to Turkey (Texas)' where the music Swings
and Bob Wills is still the King"
April 2830, 2011
The small West Texas town of Turkey, Texas has welcomed tens of thousands of attendees to the annual Bob Wills Day festival since 1972. Today, preparations are underway to celebrate the event's 40th anniversary and, in many ways, the jam-packed tribute to the legendary innovator of Western Swing has itself become legendary. This year, the
40th Bob Wills Day festival
will culminate with a full day of anniversary activities on
Saturday, April 30.
In honor of the milestone, the popular and treasured venue that has entertained crowds for the last 39 years will be joined by new features, special guests, a barbeque cook-off and a grand reunion of famed Wills' band members, the
Texas Playboys
For some of our residents, it seems like just yesterday when Bob Wills Day began, and, for others, the festival has been around their whole lives,
says Neal Edwards, president of the Bob Wills Foundation in Turkey.
People from around the world come each year to play, listen and dance to Bob Wills' music and to experience Turkey as the place where it began. We're excited to be celebrating 40 years and believe this year will be a historic best! We hope everyone who has been to the festival will return and anyone who is just now hearing about Bob Wills Day will want to experience it for themselves.
is the hometown of
Bob Wills
, the famous bandleader, fiddler, composer, charismatic performer and movie star who fused old time fiddle tunes, jazz, blues, country, mariachi and gospel music into
Western Swing,
one of the few truly American music forms.
Western Swing
is music made for dancing by a man uniquely in tune with the power of innovation and improvisation. Recognized as a major influence on music and musicians who followed him,
Bob Wills
is an American icon.
For many,
Bob Wills Day
has become a pilgrimage, a step back in time and a connection to a history rooted in the cotton fields and expressed in a uniquely American music form; for some, it is a fun-filled festival of dancing and jamming; and for others, it is the discovery of the power of improvisation.
In the week prior to the
last Saturday in April
, much like wagon trains, the RVs, chartered buses and cars with license plates from across the continent will begin to circle the open lots in Turkey. For early arrivals, parking places will be found and temporary neighborhoods will form in every available area. By mid-week, the normally sleepy town will teem with visitors of all ages, many of whom have lodged in surrounding towns, and music will be heard from all directions. In the midst of planned activities like the concerts, fiddlers contest, parade and dances, attendees will visit the
Bob Wills
monument in City Park, stroll through the
Bob Wills Museum
, have lunch at the
Hotel Turkey
, or meet and greet others to share stories. Many will join in the jam-sessions that pop up day and night in practically every corner of town.
40th Bob Wills Day
festival line-up includes some exciting additions like the
2010 Texas Western Swing Hall of Fame inductee, Billy Mata
Asleep at the Wheels
Jason Roberts aka the Texas Fiddleman,

Bob Wills
in the critically acclaimed play,
A Ride with Bob;
Jake Hooker and the Outsiders;
plus the ever popular
Jody Nix and the Texas Cowboys
Dr. Charles Townsend
Master of Ceremonies.
The Bob Wills Foundation of Turkey, Texas
(501c3) is operated solely by volunteers and was established in 1971 to preserve and share the music and life of
Bob Wills

This is a course in industrial organization, the study of firms in markets. Industrial organization focuses on firm behavior in imperfectly competitive markets, which appear to be far more common than the perfectly competitive markets that were the focus of your basic microeconomics course. This field analyzes the acquisition and use of market power by firms, strategic interactions among firms, and the role of government competition policy. We will approach this subject from both theoretical and applied perspectives.

One week with the Alienware M17 gaming laptop
So I was contacted by a PR representative for some company who asked me if I wanted to test an M17. I didn't let on at the time, but I had no idea what exactly an M17 was. I knew what an M16 was.
And I knew what an M18 Hellcat was.
So I figured an M17 was something between the two. Perhaps a massive bazooka or maybe a fixed gun emplacement. It sounded fun either way. I enthusiastically agreed. Imagine my disappointment when it showed up and it was only a laptop computer.

text: After playing Achilles in ''Troy,'' Brad Pitt may play another figure shrouded in myth: Jesse James. Variety reports that he'll produce and star in an adaptation of Robert Hansen's novel ''The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.'' The movie would retell the legendary gunslinger's life story from the point of view of the James gang turncoat who shot him in the back. Directing the film would be Australian director Andrew Dominik, whose ''Chopper'' made a movie star out of future ''Hulk'' actor and ''Troy'' costar Eric Bana. The film would mark one of several collaborations between Plan B (the production company headed by Pitt and wife Jennifer Aniston) and Warner Bros. Plan B is also producing Tim Burton's upcoming ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'' remake (starring Johnny Depp), and it's developing two other movies for Pitt to star in: ''The Hatfields and McCoys'' (for ''Ali'''s Michael Mann to direct), and a Martin Scorsese-directed version of the Hong Kong crime thriller ''Infernal Affairs.''

Netflix's 'Arrested' Season Falls Flat
I suppose after five years of anticipation and cult hit status, it would be difficult to not let down the fans. Nevertheless, I wanted so little of the fourth Netflix-driven season of "Arrested Development"—the bar was so low. Just put all of those characters back on screen, I figured, and I'd be happy.

text: D'Ambrosio to test for Lotus at Mugello 24 April, 2012 Jerome d'Ambrosio with Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean Apr.24 (PVM) Hot on the heels of their double podium success at the Bahrain Grand prix, Lotus have announced that reserve driver Jerome D'Ambrosio will get seat time in the E20, along with Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, during the forthcoming three day test at Mugello, starting on 1 May. It will be D'Ambrosio's first run in the Lotus E20 and he will kick start the test for the team with the first stint on Tuesday next week, followed by Räikkönen and Grosjean on the second day and third day respectively. Team principal Eric Boullier announced, "Jérôme has been very patiently attending all the races and has been a conscientious and regular visitor to Enstone since he was announced as our third driver. It's clear he has been very eager to get behind the wheel and it will be invaluable for us as a team that he gets this opportunity. We have given him a full day to get to grips with the E20, and look forward to receiving his feedback from the test. We had a good result in Bahrain, but as always we need to keep pushing forward. Mugello will give us an opportunity to try out a few new parts and hopefully make another step forward." D'Ambrosio, who did a full season last year with Virgin (now Marussia), said, "It's an amazing opportunity for me, and I'd like to thank Lotus F1 Team for giving me the chance to experience the E20; it's a great car and I can't wait to drive it. I know the team from my rookie day in Abu Dhabi in 2010, and I've felt very comfortable at Enstone this year which I'm sure will be a big help. Kimi and Romain needed time in the car during the winter after two years away, so the fact that this test has been put on the calendar after the first four races of the season gives me an opportunity to drive." "It will be very valuable for me to get back into a Formula 1 car after 6 months, which has felt like quite a while. I've said all along that a third driver position with a top team would be much better for my career this year, and I'm starting to see the benefits of that strategy. I've learnt a lot so far with Lotus F1 Team, and this is just the beginning," added the Belgian driver. Subbed by AJN.
