Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck with Sweet Potatoes Adult Dry Dog Food is a high-protein, low carbohydrate natural dog food that contains a higher concentration of the delicious duck you know your dog will love. Inspired by the diet of wolves, omnivores with legendary endurance, Blue Wilderness dry dog food is specially formulated by animal nutritionists to provide your dog with a robust, balanced diet that will keep him active and healthy. Deboned duck, chicken meal, and turkey meal supply the protein that dogs need to fuel their active lifestyles. Sweet potatoes provide healthy complex carbohydrates essential for energy and endurance. Cranberries, blueberries and carrots yield antioxidants to aid in your dog's oxidant balance. These and other high quality ingredients combine to create a nutritionally complete high performance diet - a sensible alternative to raw diets - that doesn't require any additional supplements.
Your dog deserves the best diet possible, which means plenty of key nutrients that he needs and no low quality fillers that provide poor nutritional value. That's why Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck with Sweet Potatoes Adult Dry Dog Food contains no corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors or flavors, preservatives, or chicken or poultry by-product meals. Instead of being stuffed with ingredients that do nothing for your dog's health, Blue Wilderness natural dog food is made with unique LifeSource Bits - a precise blend of nutrients chosen by a team of holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists. These dry dog food Bits include ingredients that support your dog's immune system and protect him from the negative impact of environmental toxins. LifeSource Bits are cold-formed, meaning that they are processed to preserve the full potency of the nutrients they include; heat-processed dry dog food can lose between 30% and 70% of its original nutritional value, especially with regard to water-soluble vitamins like vitamin B complexes. The high retention rate of vitamins and minerals in LifeSource Bits makes them ideal for inclusion in the diets of dogs that lead active and outdoor lifestyles.
Blue Buffalo Wilderness Duck with Sweet Potato Adult Dry Dog Food is available in a variety of packaging sizes. Stock up on as much natural dog food as you need depending on how many dogs you have as well as their individual diets.

Set aside to rest. Make the fattoush: Simply mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then toss with the lemon juice and olive oil.

Praia Ilha de Tavira - sometimes called Praia das Cascas by locals, a short boat trip from the jetty of Tavira will take you to the sandy shores of this beach. Some regard it as the best beach of the Eastern side of Faro. There is also a nudist area.
Praia da Rocha - the best known and oldest beach in the Algarve. Located South of Portimao. This wide sandy beach atrracts many tourists.
Praia Verde - located to the west of Monte Gordo, this broad endless beach is great for families with children.
Local history
The Algarve has an important strategic position on the world map and was the base of the famous Henry the Navigator who organised the 15th century exploration of the new world. Its position has also led the region to be invaded by the Phoenicians, Romans and Moors.
Today the once quiet fishing backwater is a lively and thriving commercial hub.

STUDY: 'Conscientious Consumption' on the Rise While Donations Decline
Two recent and seemingly contradictory studies paint a complicated picture of the corporate CSR and non-profit sectors.
First comes Havas PR's report on conscientious consumers, titled "BeCause It Matters."
The agency surveyed more than 6,600 Americans for the project. Its basic conclusion holds that the public — and especially young people — are more concerned than ever before about the ethics and CSR initiatives of the companies whose products they buy. Another unrelated study, however, complicates the picture on the philanthropy side by showing us that traditional sources of donations for non-profit organizations are giving less than they have in the past.

Are you a plus size and don't know it?
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 1:26pm
I found this article and during reading it found that the average plus size model is a size 6. Really? um ... I haven't been a size 6 since probably 3rd grade. Here is the article:
What do you think?
|Fri, 08-03-2012 - 10:49am
Unbelievable!!! Plus-size clothing starts at size 6? When I was younger, clothing started at size 6! Robyn Lawley being a size 16 doesn't really help matters, as she's 6'2". Why shouldn't she feel proud? Size 16 on someone 5'4" wouldn't be quite the same now would it? No wonder people have body image issues!

The ONT(optical network terminal, for those who didn't know) is manufactured by Alcatel-Lucent. It is always mounted indoors, usually wear existing wiring enters the home. The battery back up provides 8 hours of phone USE, and a lot more for standby time. However, cordless phones would still not work no matter what technology the phone line used.The address the comment about backyard poles, there are cases in Sudbury where yes, we have ran the fibre along that line. However, there are also cases(holland ave) where it was ran on the pole which carries hydro and cable only prior to fibreop.
Regarding power backup, I wasn't really asking about the ONT but the equipment at the CO end. POTS is nice since in a power outage a parasitic phone will work as long as there's backup power there - I am wondering if this new network will be on the same support infrastructure or if not.

SPITTING IMAGE?: European efforts to ban airbrushing in fashion photography are gaining momentum. The U.K.'s Committee of Advertising Practice has received a report compiled by more than 40 academics that demands a ban on ads featuring digitally altered models targeting girls under 16 years old.
The report, signed by academics from countries including the U.K., the U.S., Australia and Brazil, comes just six weeks after a group of French politicians proposed a law that could require all retouched photos to be labeled as such.
The U.K. report shows a correlation between unhealthy behavior in adolescents who are exposed to images of skinny, airbrushed models. The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) is responsible for updating and revising the British code of advertising.
"The weight of the evidence…shows that thin, 'perfected' media images have a detrimental effect on how girls and women think and feel about their own bodies," said Dr. Helga Dittmar of the University of Sussex, one of the authors of the report.
A spokeswoman for the CAP said she was unable to comment specifically on the report. She said, however, "If a specific digitally altered advert creates a misleading or harmful impression, we can take action. However, we are bound by European law, and it would be very difficult to change the law as it stands."

Established in 1990 by company principals David M. Nielsen (a geologist and hydrogeologist) and Gillian L. Nielsen (a hydrologist and aquatic biologist), The Nielsen Environmental Field School has become the leading provider of practical, hands-on environmental field training in the world. The goal of the Field School is to provide environmental professionals with the highest quality environmental field training to help them advance their careers. The Nielsens, who together have more than 70 years of practical field experience and more than 60 years of International teaching experience, have taught more than 5000 environmental professionals in their careers. They know from their decades of experience and extensive feedback from students that the best way to learn field skills is to "learn by doing" from seasoned professionals who teach up-to-date technologies and field practices in a clear and logical manner. The Field School's training programs have consistently earned the highest praise from the toughest critics - your colleagues and peers. But don't just take our word on this - read the testimonials of more than a thousand of our past students to see why they consider our courses the best training experience they've ever had. There is a reason why our courses are required training for many companies and why many students attend more than one training course!
Announcing - The Nielsen Environmental E-School! The Nielsen Environmental E-School, created by company principals in June, 2014, is the on-line equivalent of the Field School, and offers the same high-quality, practically oriented training options in a web-based, distance-learning format. The mission of the E-School is to provide affordable and highly accessible environmental training with the same state-of-the-art technical content as our Field School courses to those environmental professionals who have limited budgets and time for travel and who desire a more convenient option for their training. While field sessions are not possible with web-based training, many modules contain detailed field videos of technologies and methodologies discussed in the lecture portions of the modules. E-School training will be available beginning in January, 2015 as professionally prepared individual 45- to 90-minute training modules on specific topics, or as packaged E-Courses on broader subject areas that include from 12 to 30 modules each (the equivalent of our 2-day, 2.5-day, 4-day and 5-day field courses). Sign up on our E-School Notification List for details on availability, release dates and registration options for modules and E-Courses.
Convenient, Affordable Web-Based Training - The Nielsen Environmental E-School
We are in the process of converting all of our "live" field courses to "E-Courses" - a web-based, distance-learning format that will have the same technical content as our field courses. Beginning in January, 2015, students will be able to take individual 45- to 90-minute training modules or packaged E-Courses that are the equivalent of our "live" training courses.
Practical, Hands-On, Open-Enrollment Field Training - The Nielsen Environmental Field School
We offer the most highly regarded hands-on environmental field training in the world. We will be teaching our next series of "live" field courses in Spring 2015 in Las Cruces, NM. Check out our current schedule for a list of available courses.
International Certification Program for Environmental Samplers & Specialists
Receive the recognition you deserve for your field experience and expertise by earning one or more of six professional credentials offered by this program. Become Certified as an Environmental Sampler, Ground-Water Sampler, Soil Sampler, Surface-Water and Sediment Sampler, Ground-Water Monitoring Specialist or a Monitoring Well Installation Specialist.
On-Site Training
A very cost-effective alternative for groups that have 15 or more staff to train. We travel all over the world to teach environmental field courses for clients who call us in to their office to train their staff. Contact us today via e-mail for a free no-obligation quote.
We offer the definitive textbooks on Environmental Site Characterization, Ground-Water Monitoring and Ground-Water Sampling. Coming in January 2015 - we will be offering our field course notebooks as companion manuals for our E-Courses and study guides for those seeking Certification.
Technical Services
We conduct third party field audits of sampling teams and write SOPs for field practices for private and public sector clients. New in Fall 2014 - your sampling staff can achieve Certification if they pass a "live" field audit of their sampling practices. Look for details on the Certification Program section of this website.

Welcome to the ninth weekly Beelzebub article! I'm your host, Taka, and I'm here to present this episode and my team's wiki work to you. For those who do know my team, my awesome teammates are Annabanana, ShadowKnight508, Arussel, and Sreenivas. Be sure to check out this episode's image gallery, too!
Last week's episode was great because Hilda and Oga fight together for the first time. Now, the story continues off where Oga and Beel takes revenge on Hecadoth who impaled Hilda.
With Hilda down, Oga and Beel take on Hecadoth for some payback. At the same time, Kaname and Toujou's fight is interrupted by two, new demons, Graphel and Naga. Two brutal fights take place between the humans (one demon baby) and Behemoth's demon generals. Can Oga and Beel defeat Hecadoth and can Toujou and Kaname take down their opponents? Tune in and watch Beelzebub episode 40!
Beware of Spoilers! Keep in mind, I purposely do not cover everything in order keep the discussion going.
Overall, the episode is great with the right mix of action and comedy even with the redundant Alaindelon scenes.
Now, I want to introduce you to Annabanana, a beautiful wiki editor who first worked on Beelzebub series in winter 2010. She has been working hard by herself while some independent wiki editors who work a bit and leave. It was only in the summer that ShadowKnight508 and I joined her. Our team love and support her. This week, she added a lot of trivia questions for Fairy Tail and Beelzebub.
I didn't want to spoiled you guys, but my team found or made some nice images. Please enjoy.
I thank you guys for reading my team's weekly reports; I thank my team for sticking with me. Since KuroNekoXIII did a special shout out, I like to give a shout out to ShadowKnight508 who did a marvelous job on Sora no Otoshimono, Arussel for joining our team and starting his first Beelzebub work, and KuroNekoXIII for being a valuable member to both teams: Beelzebub and W.I.K.I. Nation. Kuro is doing weekly reports on Guilty Crown; MohsinMan99 is doing the same for Gintama. Go out and support them. Plus, our friends, Sotyfan16 and Superevil225 wrote some spectacular articles. Check their blogs out.
Please support the community by checking out and commenting on FoxxFireArt's community spotlight page this week. For those who want to make beginner guides, please check out Sotyfan16's blog, Guide to Making Guides. Don't forget to check out Anime Vice's group on Crunchyroll and Anime Vice's Steam group! If you guys want to see how much work the team has done, go see Team Beelzebub's vitae list. Please give my teammates a pat on the back because they are busy with school, and they still continue to work on their wiki projects. One more thing, I made a twitter list of Team W.I.K.I. Nation members and their friends and mentors.

Buffalo Springfield
~ Group
Buffalo Springfield was an American-Canadian rock band formed in 1966 whose members included Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Dewey Martin, Bruce Palmer, Jim Messina, Ken Koblun, and Jim Fielder which combined rock, folk, and country music. The band released the political anthem "For What It's Worth".
The band was plagued by infighting, drug-related arrests, and line-up changes that led to its disbanding after two years. Three albums were released under its name, but many demos, studio outtakes, and live recordings remained and were issued in the decades that followed.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.Continue reading at Wikipedia... Wikipedia content provided under the terms of the Creative Commons BY-SA license

Marble Blast Gold 1.6
Addictive skill-based arcade game for all ages
Marble Blast Gold offers you full control over a rainbow-colored marble that you need to steer through and over various ramps, platforms and obstacles from a start pad to an end pad without falling off the platform. All levels are filled with hazards in order to increase the difficulty of the game.
Beside controlling the marble spin you can also make it jump over pits and obstacles. With the help of the power-ups spread allover the landscape, you can make your marble fly or perform super jumps. These power-ups might come in handy when you need to complete levels within a qualification time.
Complete all levels within the given time limit and stay at the top of the leaderboard
Your main objective is to finish each level as fast as you can and complete any additional challenges in the specified time frame. Consequently, you'll have to collect gems before reaching the end pad and find make the most of the grabbed power-ups.
It is worth mentioning that you can hold only one inventory power-up at a time although multiple power-ups can be in effect at the same time, if grabbed and activated before the previous power-up expires. Super Jump, Super Speed, Shock Absorber, Super Bounce and Gyrocopter are self-explanatory inventory power-ups while Time Travel and Gravity Modifier are non-inventory power-ups.
Take advantage of the inventory and non-inventory power-ups to jump over hazards
Thanks to Time Travel, you can freeze the in-game timer and finish the level faster while the Gravity Modifier helps you change the direction of the gravity in different directions.
There are a total of 100 levels, which are grouped according to their difficulty as follows: the first 24 levels are for beginners, the following 24 are intermediate while the last 52 are for advanced players.
The hazards that await in the game range from Trapdoors and Bumpers to Tornadoes, Mines, Oil Slicks and Fans. The friction of the marble on the surface also varies according to the surface you are rolling on.

PDF to Word Converter 2014.4.9
When dealing with very common formats like PDF and DOC there are many software solutions that are able to handle such documents and turn them into any other type which the user might need. PDF to Word Converter is one of these applications and, as its name suggests, it is meant to perform a one way transformation.
Turn PDFs into DOC files from a friendly interface
The setup procedure goes on smoothly and a great thing about this tool is that it will not require third-party apps in order to get the job done. All the functions are neatly placed inside the main window for quick access.
Most of the space is reserved for the list of PDFs that will be converted and inside that area you can view the password needed to open some encrypted files, provided that you entered it manually for each of the locked PDFs.
Dual conversion mode with fast processing
Adding files to the processing queue is pretty simple, but, unfortunately, it is not possible to select multiple files and insert them. Instead, one has to either add one file at a time, or an entire folder, then select and remove the unnecessary items.
When it comes to the actual operation, PDF to Word Converter can make the transformation in two ways. The first mode is 'Flow text without textbox', which will result in some DOC files with free flowing text inside.
The second mode will copy the exact layout of the original PDF and translate it as is in the Word document. However, this can make the DOC file a bit harder to edit because the text it contains is treated as one or more blocks, as opposed to the previous method.
A simple application for an uncomplicated task
All in all, PDF to Word Converter is very easy to use, yet it completely lacks any configuration options, so the control over the output is limited to the two conversion modes. Other than that, the transition from one format to another is pretty quick and the tool seems best suited for beginners.

The Polikarpov I-16 was a Soviet fighter aircraft of revolutionary design; it was the world's first low-wing cantilever monoplane fighter with retractable landing gear to have attained operational status and as such "introduced a new vogue in fighter design."[1] The I-16 was introduced in the mid-1930s and formed the backbone of the Soviet Air Force at the beginning of World War II. The diminutive fighter, nicknamed "Ishak" ("Donkey") by Soviet pilots, prominently featured in the Second Sino-Japanese War,[2] the Battle of Khalkhin Gol[2] and the Spanish Civil War[3][4]—where it was called the Rata ("Rat") by the Nationalists or Mosca ("Fly") by the Republicans. The Finnish nickname for I-16 was Siipiorava ("Flying Squirrel").
While working on the Polikarpov I-15 biplane, Nikolai Nikolaevich Polikarpov began designing an advanced monoplane fighter. It featured cutting-edge innovations such as retractable landing gear and a fully enclosed cockpit, and was optimized for speed with a short stubby fuselage (similar to the Gee Bee R-1) and a Wright Cyclone radial engine in a NACA cowling. The aircraft was small, light and simple to build.
Full scale work on the TsKB-12 prototype began in June 1933 and the aircraft was accepted into production on 22 November 1933, a month before it took to the air. The TsKB-12 was of mixed construction using a wooden monocoque fuselage and wings based around a KhMA chrome-molybdenum steel alloy wing spar, dural ribs and D1 aluminum alloy skinning on the center and leading edges, with the remaining portions of the wings fabric covered. Another modern feature were the ailerons which ran almost the entire trailing edge of the wing and also operated as flaps (in the manner of more modern flaperons) by drooping 15°. The cockpit was covered by a forty cm (sixteen in) wide canopy which featured an Aldis tubular gun sight which could slide back and forth on runners fitted with rubber bungee cords. A 225 l (59.4 US gal) fuel tank was fitted directly in front of the cockpit. The main landing gear was fully retractable by a hand-crank. The armament consisted of a pair of 7.62 mm (0.30 in) ShKAS machine guns in the wings, mounted on the outboard side of the main gear and 900 rounds of ammunition.
These features were proposed at first by Andrei N. Tupolev, however the NII VVS was more concerned about the stresses a typical combat aircraft was subjected to in combat, and initially considered the risk too great. However TsAGI, with the help of the 3rd Design Brigade under the leadership of Pavel O. Sukhoi and Aleksandr P. Putylov, eventually convinced NII VVS that what was being proposed was not only feasible, but would enhance the aircraft's performance.
The TsKB-12 was designed around the Wright Cyclone SR-1820-F-3 nine cylinder radial engine (rated at 529 kW/710 hp); a license to build this engine under the supervision of the Shvetsov design bureau in the Soviet Union was being negotiated. As the license was not yet approved, Polikarpov was asked to settle for the less powerful M-22 (Soviet-built version of the Gnome-Rhone Jupiter 9ASB which itself was a licensed version of the Bristol Jupiter VI) with 358 kW (480 hp). This was deemed acceptable because the projected top speed still exceeded 300 km/h (185 mph).
The M-22 powered TsKB-12 first took to the air on 30 December 1933 with the famous Soviet test pilot Valery Chkalov at the controls. The second TsKB-12 with a Cyclone engine and three-bladed propeller flew in January of the following year. Initial government trials in February 1934 revealed very good maneuverability but the aircraft did not tolerate abrupt control inputs. Thus the TsKB-12 was deemed dangerous to fly and all aerobatics were forbidden. The M-22 version was preferred due to the vibration of the Cyclone-powered aircraft. Pilots commented early on about the difficulty of climbing into the cockpit, a trait that persisted through the I-16's service life. Before continuing test flights the designers had to answer the question of spin behavior. Wind tunnel testing suggested that the TsKB-12, with its short tail, would enter an unrecoverable flat spin, but real-life trials were necessary to confirm this. Since Cyclone engines were rare it was decided to risk the M-22 prototype for this purpose. On March 1 and 2, 1934, Chkalov performed 75 spins and discovered that the aircraft had very benign stall behavior (dipping a wing and recovering without input from the pilot when airspeed increased) and intentional spins could be easily terminated by placing the controls in the neutral position. The stories of vicious spin behavior of the I-16 perpetuated in modern literature is unfounded (perhaps extrapolated from Gee Bee experience).[citation needed] In fact, the I-16's stablemate, the biplane Polikarpov I-153, exhibited much worse spin characteristics.[citation needed]
Service trials of the new fighter, designated I-16, began on 22 March 1934. The M-22 prototype reached 359 km/h (223 mph). The manually retracted landing gear was prone to jamming and required considerable strength from the pilot. Most of the test flights were performed with the gear extended. On 1 May 1934, the M-22 prototype participated in the flyover of Red Square. Approximately thirty I-16 Type 1 aircraft were delivered, but were not assigned to any VVS fighter squadron. Most pilots who flew the I-16 Type 1 for evaluation purposes did not find the aircraft to have many redeeming characteristics. Regardless of pilot opinion, much attention was focused on the Cyclone powered aircraft and the M-25 (the license built Cyclone). On 14 April 1934, the Cyclone prototype was damaged when one of the landing gear legs collapsed while it was taxiing.
The third prototype with a Cyclone engine incorporated a series of aerodynamic improvements and was delivered for government trials on 7 September 1934. The top speed of 437 km/h (270 mph) no longer satisfied the Air Force, who now wanted the experimental Nazarov M-58 engine and 470 km/h (290 mph). Subsequently, the M-22 powered version entered production at Factory 21 in Nizhny Novgorod and Factory 39 in Moscow. Because it was the fourth aircraft produced by these factories, it received the designation I-16 Type 4. Aircraft fitted with these new engines required a slightly changed airframe, including armor plating for the pilot and changes to the landing gear doors to allow for complete closure.
The M-25 fitted I-16, the I-16 Type 5, featured a new engine cowling which was slightly smaller in diameter and featured nine forward-facing shuttered openings to control cooling airflow, a redesigned exhaust with eight individual outlet stubs, and other changes. The M-25 was rated at 474 kW (635 hp) at sea level and 522 kW (700 hp) at 2,300 m (7,546 ft). Due to the poor quality of the canopy glazing, the I-16 Type 5 pilots typically left the canopy open or removed the rear portion completely. By the time the Type 5 arrived, it was the world's lightest production fighter (1,460 kg/3,219 lb), as well as the worlds fastest, able to reach speeds of 454 km/h (282 mph) at altitude and 395 km/h (245 mph) at sea level. While the Type 5 could not perform the high-g maneuvers of other fighters, it possessed superior speed and climb rates, and had extremely responsive aileron control which gave it a very good roll rate which led to precision maneuvers in loops and split-Ss.
A total of 7,005 single-seat and 1,639 two-seat trainer variants were produced.
Initial service experience revealed that the ShKAS machine guns had a tendency to jam. This was the result of the guns being installed in the wings upside-down to facilitate the fit. The problem was addressed in later modifications. Evaluations from pilots confirmed the experience with prototypes. Controls were light and very sensitive, abrupt maneuvers resulted in spins, and spin behavior was excellent. An aileron roll could be performed in under 1.5 seconds (roll rate over 240 degrees/second). The machine guns were fired via a cable and the required effort, coupled with sensitive controls, made precision aiming difficult. The rear weight bias made the I-16 easy to handle on unprepared airfields because the aircraft was rather unlikely to flip over the nose even if the front wheels dug in.
The I-16 was a difficult fighter to fly. The pilots had poor visibility[5] and the canopy tended to become fouled with engine oil and the moving portion was prone to slamming shut during hard maneuvers which caused many pilots to fix it in the open position. The front section of the fuselage, with the engine, was too close to the centre of gravity, and the pilot's cockpit too far to the rear. The Polikarpov had insufficient longitudinal stability and it was impossible to fly the aircraft "hand off".[6]
At the start of Spanish Civil War in 1936, Republican forces pleaded for fighter aircraft. After receiving payment in gold, Joseph Stalin dispatched around 475[7] I-16 Type 5s and Type 6s. The first I-16s appeared in Spanish skies in November 1936.[8] The Polikarpov monoplanes had their baptism of fire on 13 November 1936, when twelve I-16s intercepted a Nationalist bombing raid on Madrid. Soviet pilots claimed four air victories and two German Heinkel He 51 pilots were killed. But the Soviets suffered losses too; the group commander collided with an enemy aircraft and another I-16 pilot crash landed.[9] The Polikarpovs immediately began dominating the enemy He 51s and Arado Ar 68 biplanes[citation needed] and remained unchallenged until the introduction of the Messerschmitt Bf 109. The arrival of the newest Bf 109Bs and the overwhelming numerical superiority of Nationalist fighters were the primary cause of the heavy I-15 and I-16 combat losses suffered by throughout 1937.[10] A number of aviation publications called the new Soviet fighter a "Boeing" due to the incorrect assumption that it was based on the Boeing P-26's design. The Nationalists nicknamed the stubby fighter Rata (Rat), while the Republicans affectionately called it Mosca (Fly).
Combat experience showed that the I-16 had deficiencies; several aircraft were lost after structural failure of the wings which was quickly remedied by reinforced structures. Heavy machine gun bullets could sometimes penetrate the armored backrest and fuel tanks occasionally caught fire in spite of being protected. The hot Spanish summers required the addition of oil radiators, and dust adversely affected the life of the engines. Although some aircraft accumulated up to 400 hours of flying time, the average life of an I-16 was 87 days, of which one sixth was spent on maintenance. The biggest complaint in service was the light armament of only two 7.62 mm (0.30 in) machine guns. This was urgently addressed with the Type 6 which added a third ShKAS in the bottom of the fuselage. The four-gun Type 10 was nicknamed "Super Mosca" or simply "Super". The total number of I-16s delivered to Spain from 1936 to 1938 amounted to 276. When the war ended on 1 April, 1939, 187 Ratas had been lost in Spain: 112 lost in combat, one shot down by anti-aircraft fire, eleven destroyed on the ground, one force-landed and 62 lost in accidents.[11]
Another 250 I-16 Type 10s were supplied to China. This model added a second set of 7.62 mm (0.30 in) ShKAS machine guns, armor behind the pilot, and had a slightly upgraded 560 kW (750 hp) M-25 engine. In 1939, of the 500 I-16s[12] deployed to the fighting at Nomonhan, approximately 112 were lost during the battles of Khalkhin Gol, of which 88 were destroyed in aerial combat, primarily against the all metal Ki-27 IJA fighters.[13] During test trials in Russia of a captured Ki-27, the aircraft proved superior to the Soviet I-152 (I-15bis), I-153, and the I-16 in aerial combat, as well as having a faster take off and lower landing speed requiring shorter airstrips than the I-16, which needed 270 meters to stop and 380 meters for take off.[14]
Further attempts were made to upgrade the firepower of the aircraft using 20 mm (0.79 in) ShVAK cannons, making the I-16 one of the most heavily armed fighters of the period,[15] able to fire 28 pounds of ammunition in three seconds. Pilots loved the results, but the cannons were in short supply and only a small number of the I-16 Type 12, 17, 27, and 28 were built. The cannons adversely affected performance with 360° turn time increasing from fifteen seconds in the Type 5 to eighteen seconds. The Type 24 replaced the skid with a tailwheel and featured the much more powerful 670 kW (900 hp) Shvetsov M-63 engine. The Type 29 replaced two of the ShKAS guns with a single 12.7 mm (.50 in) UBS. Types 18, 24, 27, 28, and 29 could be fitted to carry RS-82 unguided rockets.
A 1939 government study found the I-16 had exhausted its performance potential. The addition of armor, radio, battery, and flaps during the aircraft's evolution exacerbated the rear weight distribution problems to the point where the aircraft required considerable forward pressure on the stick to maintain level flight and at the same time developed a tendency to enter uncontrolled dives. Extension and retraction of the landing flaps caused a dramatic change in the aircraft's attitude. Accurate gunfire was difficult.
The pilots nicknamed the aircraft Ishak (Russian: Ишак, Donkey/Hinny) because it was similar to the Russian pronunciation of "I-16". When Operation Barbarossa erupted on 22 June 1941, 1,635 of 4,226 VVS aircraft were I-16s of all variants, fielded by 57 fighter regiments in frontier areas.[16] The main assault delivered by the Luftwaffe's Luftflotte 2 (in support of Wehrmacht Army Group Centre) was directed against the Soviet Western Special Military District, that deployed 361 (424 according to other sources) I-16s.[17] During the early phase of the campaign the I-16 bases were the main targets for the German aircraft and after 48 hours of combat, of the 1,635 Polikarpov monoplanes in service on 21 June 1941, only 937 were left.[18] By 30 June the number of I-16s in western front line units had dropped to 873, including 99 that required repairs.[19] To stem the Luftwaffe aerial assault several I-16 pilots adopted the taran tactic and sacrificed their lives, ramming German aircraft.[19]
Its main opponent in the sky in 1941 was the German Messerschmitt Bf 109.[20] The I-16 was slightly more maneuverable than the early Bf 109s and could fight the Messerschmitt Bf 109E, or Emil, on equal terms in turns. Skilled Soviet pilots took advantage of the Polikarpov's superior horizontal maneuverability and liked it enough to resist the switch to more modern fighters. The German aircraft, however, outclassed its Russian opponent in service ceiling, rate of climb, acceleration and, crucially, in horizontal and diving speed, due to better aerodynamics and a more powerful engine. The main versions of the I-16 had a maximum speed of 450–70 km/h (279–91 mph), while the Bf 109E had a maximum speed of 560–70 km/h (347–53 mph), the more streamlined Bf 109F Friedrich could hit 615 km/h (372 mph). Superior speed was the decisive factor in a dogfight, so German pilots held the initiative and could decide if they wanted to chase their opponents, could attack them from above and behind and then gain altitude for a new attack. Meanwhile, Polikarpovs could only defend each other by forming a defensive circle or via horizontal maneuverability.[20]
Moreover, in terms of armament, Messerschmitts had a slight edge on the I-16. The Emil carried two wing-mounted twenty mm MG FF cannons and two synchronized 7.92 mm MG-17s with a weight of a one-second salvo of 2.37 kg, while the most common version of the I-16 – armed with just two synchronized and two wing-mounted 7.62 ShKAS – could deliver 1.43 kg of bullets each second.[21] Finally, the ammunition storage on a Messerschmitt exceeded that of the I-16, carrying 1,000 bullets for each machine gun (plus sixty rounds for each cannon), while the Polikarpov carried just 450 rounds for each ShKAS gun.[22]
The I-16 had a more durable engine than the liquid-cooled engine of the Bf 109. Around half of all produced I-16s were still in service in 1943, when they were finally replaced.
Specially modified I-16s were used in the Zveno parasite aircraft experiments using the Tupolev TB-3 as a mothership.
The Luftwaffe was known to have captured some I-16 and UTI-4 two-seat trainers (two of which were marked with the Stammkennzeichen codes DM+HC and DM+HD) and flown from the Erprobungstelle Rechlin central Luftwaffe test facility by Kampfgeschwader 200 (KG 200).[23] The Luftwaffe was not the only air force able to test its fighters against the I-16; the Japanese captured a few I-16s as well,[2] and the Romanian Air Force also got one when a Soviet pilot defected.[24] The Finnish Air Force (FAF) captured some I-16s (along with several other Soviet types). During the Winter War and the Continuation War, the Finns captured six I-16s and one I-16UTI. Two of the captured I-16s and I-16UTIs were put back into flying condition and flight tested.[25]
There is considerable disagreement in literature on features of particular I-16 variants. This list is based on the following references.[26][27][28]
In the early 1990s, New Zealand pilot and entrepreneur Sir Tim Wallis' Alpine Fighter Collection organised the restoration in Novosibirsk of six I-16s and three I-153s, found in Russia, to an airworthy condition, this project being completed in 1999 as the third and final I-153 arrived in New Zealand. After a spectacular international debut at the Warbirds Over Wanaka airshow in 1998 (for the I-16s) and 2000 (for the I-153s), some of the aircraft were sold off around the world, to the Commemorative Air Force in the U.S. (as pictured above), to Jerry Yagen of Virginia, and an I-16 to Spain, where it is held in the collection of the Fundación Infante de Orleans at Cuatro Vientos airport, Madrid, and is occasionally flown for the public. Despite intentions to keep one of each at the NZFPM, all of the I-16s have now been sold to overseas owners. Jerry Yagen also had a second I-16 restored in Russia. The Flying Heritage Collection in Washington, United States has an airworthy I-16 Type 24.

Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment Reviews
OKI used this for about a month and it worked really good but then it stopped working and slowly I got more zits. I'll have to give it credit though since it worked great at first. Maybe my skin just got used to it. Another things is I thought it was pretty cheap. I got it at Walmart and Target for under 10$ — 6 years, 9 months agoClever1127 | 8 reviews

Pretty Goodi have tried many of these spot treatment type things and this is a decent product. some itch and also do nothing to change my face whereas this was comfortable to wear and improved my acne a bit. — 6 years, 10 months agoangel001717 | 17 reviews
Fairly pleasedI've been trying to try products with salicylic acid as opposed to benzoyl peroxide (because it doesn't work for me) and so I picked this up. It really reduces spot size quickly, but at the expense-it seems so far-of my skin. It stings going on, it dries out the spot and the area around it and turns me slightly red...but I think it's worth it if you put on the right amount and use it only at night. It's a good product, though a tad expensive for its kind. — 6 years, 10 months agomschroed | 9 reviews

GREAT - Clean & Clear Acne Spot TreatmentGREAT over the counter product and does NOT overdry or iritate my sensitive dry skin. Use right when I see the beginning of a breakout and daily thereafter until blemish signs disappear.

Rare Iguana is Endangered Because People Like to Eat Egg-Carrying Females
December 5th, 2014 | 2
It's a simple equation, really: If a species can't reproduce, it will go extinct. A critically endangered species in Honduras faces that risk in a notable way. It turns out that the people who coexist with Valle de Aguán spiny-tailed iguanas (Ctenosaura melanosterna) not only like to eat the lizards they prefer the taste of [...]Keep reading »

First Prehistoric Snake Slithered Out on Land–Not at Sea
July 25th, 2012 | 2
Sorry, sea serpents. Snakes, it seems, slithered off their lizard legs on land. A new analysis of a primitive snake fossil suggests that these animals emerged from a line of burrowing reptiles. Snakes are in the same reptilian order that includes lizards, but just how and where they split off to live their legless lives [...]Keep reading »
New Fossil Severs Snakes from Legless Lizard Line
May 18th, 2011 | 4
Snakes aren't just lizards without any legs. But a curious group of long, legless lizards look suspiciously like snakes themselves. Also known as "worm lizards" (aka amphisbaenians), these small serpentine reptiles have evolved a limb-free body plan and strong heads that are handy for their burrowing lifestyle. So are they the snake's closest lizard relatives? [...]Keep reading »
So Skinny, So Bright: How Colour Change Predicts the Odds of a Chameleon Battle

With some males reaching more than 60 cm long, the veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) from the southwestern coastal regions of the Arabian Peninsula is one of [...]Keep reading »

Its a two way street
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 04-10-2014 - 7:32pm
So, after getting tired of him putting me on the back burner for the last few months, I made plans to go out with another guy. Partially to get some much needed attention, and partially to tell AP F-you. Well I told him and he didnt take it well. He clammed up. Said its my choice and he can't say anything about it. (I'm M, he is engaged and carries on with other women all of the time). But he was quiet. I reminded him that he said to me about a year ago that it would bother him to think of me with someone else. He said he didnt remember saying it and was he drinking? I said yes, thats the only way he's going to open up to me. Now he won't take my calls, or respond to texts. I feel two ways....sick to my stomach that maybe after 4 years i"ve pushed him too far... and he's done. The other thing I feel is that its about time he knows that I do have other options and he needs to think about the way he takes me for granted. Now what do I do? Let him sweat it out? Or cancel my other plans and let him know? I dont really want anything with the other guy. I dont think I could follow through anyway. I've been with AP way too long. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
|Fri, 04-11-2014 - 1:32pm
If he's engaged, and he's carrying on with other women all of the time, where else would you expect to be but on the back burner? He's a busy man, and pity his fiancee! It's hard for him to work all of his favorites into his busy schedule.......so I would guess you're not one of his favorites this week. When you settle for crumbs, you get crumbs. You obviously don't have a problem finding a replacement, so maybe that's what you need to do. Just like picking a husband, you don't take the first one that comes along (like the one you don't want to go out with now), but you search, and you find someone who's suited to YOUR way of life.

You have a real self esteem problem! First you get mad at him for ignoring you, so you hook up with someone else, and make sure you tell him so that he gets jealous! That backfired on you........he told you he really didn't care, not the response you were hoping for, for sure. So, now, you grovel..........and tell him that you've cancelled the other date..........and he doesn't give a rats a$$! I guess he has enough other women to keep him happy, and he doesn't need you. This man sounds like the scum of the earth, yet you're begging him to take you back into his seraglio? That shows a serious lack of pride, self esteem and judgement. You really need some help with your life's path. You have a husband......why not try to work things out with him, and if that's not possible. then get a divorce, and get a new and decent life for yourself. You surely aren't happy with the life you're leading now! This is what you got after 4 years, and you should be thankful that it wasn't 6, or 8 years of your life that you've wasted on a worthless man.
|Sun, 04-13-2014 - 3:20pm
So fissatore's reply was pretty harsh. But what it says is right. He sounds like a right a******. How could he say that to you. I think you should go out with the new guy and even if you're not really interested you can always see how it goes. At least it might open your eyes. He has no reason to treat you like that and you shouldn't accept it
|Mon, 04-14-2014 - 11:36am
I meant that as a wake-up call for you. It wasn't meant to HURT you, it was meant to make you look at yourself, and your choices. I was a woman who "took" that kind of treatment for years, not from an affair partner, but from my own husband. I started studying psychology to try to understand myself, and eventually I realized that when you have no self esteem, you will accept being treated like garbage, and come back for more, over and over. You have low self esteem, and he reinforces that in you. He's taught you that you're lucky to have him, and should be grateful for the scraps he throws you. I don't know what the problem in your marriage is, but possibly you get the same treatment at home. What you need to do is to think about yourself, and realize that you are BETTER than this man, and you deserve to be loved and respected, starting with yourself. If you don't love and respect yourself, then you will accept this kind of treatment from others, too. It took me a lot of years to figure it out for myself.....and then I got a divorce, and have been happy ever since. I am pleasant, happy, have many friends and a very active life, but I allow NO ONE to disrespect me. People who are like that aren't allowed in my life. Start loving yourself, and you won't need losers like that in your life.

So many of us have been there, because it's hard to let go sometimes it's easier just to carry on. However you did say you had another flirtation... would going on a date with him not at least be a self esteem boost? And also just nice to be out with someone who will treat you well?
|Mon, 04-14-2014 - 5:21pm
The affair drives you in ways you can hardly fathom. It grips you and takes you away from the present. Yet it makes you feel alive. The problem is you become so accustomed to the highs and lows that soon that becomes the norm, until you can accept the affair as nothing more then an escape and push it to the back burner you will live life on a roller coaster. He is showing you the real place you carry in his life. You hurt his pride. But let me guess all along he has been calling the shots and you let him, so you decided to give it back to him and he doesn't like your game. You will never get him to see your side. He already has a woman that owns a part of him, he doesn't want another. He wants the woman who thinks he walks on water, not the one that makes demands.
Hold your head up high, fight to find you, be kind to yourself and remember you deserve more. Is he really worth your pain?
I have lived your story and know how dismantling it can be. I would never listen to the others here. I had to fight through it on my own , just as you do. There will come a time when you accept that this isn't your path to happiness, when that time comes don't fight it, because you will find clarity and healing. The road is long and hard, but very much worth it.

Remember the friend that I told you all about a few weeks ago? The one who has NO business being a mother because of her drinking, smoking, mental (depression, possibly suicidal) and relationship problems that include a recent DUI, a BF who faces two years in prison for a felony DUI that shes known all of three months now...? Remember her? Well today she called to inform me that she is having TWINS! Yeah... it runs in her family. WTF??? Seriously. This is ridiculous. This is the universe LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY at me.

I just posted in my SG aboout my nephew and his new baby. They have a 2 bedroom trailer and now 4 kids. It also a very messy, cluttered home. None of them work. Of course neither are we now, but we could afford a baby when he goes back to work. It's so not fair that so many people like this get what we want. I knew a lady who drank, smoked and NEVER went to the doctor when she was PG, she's had 5 kids. AARRRGGGGG

That SUCKS!
I was on an adoption site one time and saw this really cute 5 yr old girl. It was saying how she is developmentally behind, can't speak and points to everything. I felt really bad and then read that she has an identical twin sister with the same problem. All I could think about was that this was the mothers fault, not only did she do this to 1 child but to another as well. She should be put in jail. It just fricken ticks me off. I'd take those babies in a heart beat. It's so unfair for her to have them. UGGHHH! I know it's got to be so

Lady Gaga gets live tattoo at perfume launch
The avant-garde pop star appeared in a large bottle and got a tattoo on her neck

- Singer Lady Gaga arrives at Macys Herald Square in New York on September 14, 2012 to launch her first fragrance, Lady Gaga Fame, released through the singer's own Haus Laboratories in association with Coty. AFP PHOTO / TIMOTHY A. CLARY
Lady Gaga launched her debut perfume while being inside a giant-sized perfume bottle.
The avant-garde pop star was in a large bottle — a replica of her 'Fame' fragrance — appearing in the transparent glass where attendees took photos and watched the singer get a tattoo on her neck.
The entertainer entered the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on New York's Upper East Side on Thursday night on top of a convertible. She posed for pictures and interacted with some fans.
Inside, she laid in the bottle in a sparkly top, black skirt and red wig. Then she took off some clothing and a wig — now appearing in lingerie, including a thong — and began receiving a tattoo of the back of her neck (she shaved the bottom half of the back of her head this week).
Gaga applied make-up and played on an iPad inside the bottle, where she was joined by four others. Edith Piaf played in the background, as did David Bowie's 'Fame' and various songs that featured Kanye West. She got her tattoo — and danced in her seat — as West's latest hit 'Mercy' blasted in the background.
The masquerade black tie event featured a few hundred people, mostly dressed with eye masks and headgear. Celebrity attendees included Yoko Ono, Marc Jacobs, Paris Hilton, Michael Strahan, Jason Wu and Lindsay Lohan, who arrived late for the event.
Gaga also debuted a short film called 'Lady Gaga Film' for the fragrance in collaboration with director Steven Klein.
The Grammy-winning singer released her multiplatinum debut, 'The Fame,' in 2008. That was followed by the platinum-selling albums 'The Fame Monster' and last year's 'Born This Way.'

New Space Churn
A version of this article appears in the August 25 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology.
As entrepreneurial "New Space" grows up, veterans of its early days are finding innovative ways to tackle old problems and enter emerging markets that did not exist when their industry was an infant—a decade ago.
Thomas E. Markusic, a propulsion engineer who cut his New Space teeth running Elon Musk's flight-test center in Texas and later held senior posts at Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, has kicked off a startup called Firefly Space Systems that is developing a low-cost Falcon 1-class launch vehicle to launch small satellites using a methane-fueled aerospike engine and composite cryotanks.
Going from a standing start early this year, Markusic and a handful of like-minded entrepreneurs have self-funded a rapid buildup to 30 employees. They have opened facilities in Austin, Texas, and Hawthorne, California (not far from the SpaceX factory), and started buying fiber-winding gear for composite tanks to be built using an out-of-autoclave process tested at Marshall Space Flight Center this summer. They have also bought land for a test site within commuting distance of Austin.
"One thing I learned at SpaceX, if you don't have your own test site you're not going to go anywhere, really," says Markusic. "I wanted to keep everything co-located too. Austin allowed me the possibility to have a relatively closely co-located test site, so right now we're in a suburb of Austin with our engineering offices, and we just bought a 215-acre test site in Briggs, Texas."
The aerospike rocket-engine technology that Firefly will test at the Briggs site builds on the way a rocket's plume expands as it ascends through the atmosphere. Without a bell-shaped nozzle to contain it, the plume basically assumes the most efficient shape for the ambient atmospheric pressure, allowing the engine to operate with greater efficiency.
The technology has been tried repeatedly over the years, and once was considered for the space shuttle main engine. The suborbital X-33 reusable launch vehicle prototype built by the Lockheed Skunk Works featured a ground-tested Rocketdyne XRS-2200 linear aerospike engine integrated into the lifting-body vehicle's tail (AW&ST June 7, 1999, p. 57), and while that vehicle never flew, a team from California State University, Long Beach, and Garvey Spacecraft Corp. flew a small ethanol-fueled aerospike in September 2003.
In Firefly's planned "Lumen" engine, which uses what is known as a plug aerospike configuration, a ring of 10 combustion chambers surrounds a truncated spike (see inset illustration). As the plumes from the combustors expand with the dropping ambient air pressure as the vehicle ascends, the interior parts of them push against the so-called plug to generate additional thrust.
"We come off the pad with, effectively, a 30:1 area ratio nozzle, which dramatically increases our performance," Markusic says. "That's the theory. In practice it doesn't quite work that way. The aerospike actually goes through kind of a closed-wake and an open-wake regime, and you really don't start seeing the benefits until the pressure starts going down a little bit in practice. But if you integrate over the whole boost trajectory you definitely see an enhancement."
Just as Firefly is drawing on a lot of government research in its aerospike technology, the company is using a key element of the SpaceX Merlin engine—the pintle injector—in its new engine's combustion chamber. Markusic, who jumped ship from NASA to SpaceX after the agency sent him to Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands to observe the first flight of the Falcon 1, says he started working on the technology—also used on the Apollo program's lunar-descent engine —at SpaceX and when he was developing a liquid-fuel alternative to the hybrid engine used on Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo.
"A pintle injector is a great injector for a startup company because it's bulletproof," he says. "There's never been a pintle injector that's been shown to be unstable."
But while it is willing to borrow pintle technology from the Merlin and other engines, Firefly is using methane fuel instead of kerosene as a way to avoid the expense and operational difficulty associated with the helium used to pressurize propellant tanks. Helium is hard to contain, and SpaceX has learned the hard way that helium leaks can cause costly delays (AW&ST June 11, p. 22). With methane, Firefly is able to use a heat-exchanger built into the aerospike plug to boil both of the engine's propellants—methane and liquid oxygen—for autogenous pressurization.
Methane gives higher engine-exhaust velocity than kerosene, but it is much less dense, which in a launch vehicle means more weight for the larger tanks needed to hold enough of it to get to space. To attack that problem, Firefly is working toward lightweight composite tankage and other structure, using engineers who honed their skills developing the composite structures on Virgin's WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft. The company is also watching the results of composite tankage tests just wrapping up at Marshall Space Flight Center.
NASA scuttled the X-33 program in part because an experimental composite liquid hydrogen tank failed during tests at Marshall in 1999. Boeing built the tanks used in the tests this summer using a new out-of-autoclave curing process, and Markusic—who worked at Marshall for five years—says he and his colleagues have been following the test series closely. Firefly has just signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA for help with the tank technology and other development issues.
SpaceX dropped its Falcon 1 program after three launch failures and two successful orbital flights, and moved on to the medium-lift Falcon 9. Firefly hopes to pick up where Musk left off, using a high flight rate and the mass production it enables to hold down the price of a launch with its two-stage "alpha" vehicle to $8-9 million. That would put 409 kg of payload into a circular 500-km equatorial orbit, or 218 kg into polar orbit at the same altitude. The goal is to tackle the smallsat launch market emerging on the coattails of advances in the tiny cubesat form factor, which has far more spacecraft built or in development than rides to space to accommodate them (AW&ST Aug. 4, p. 19).
"There are two fundamental approaches to lowering costs," Markusic says. "The first is mass production, and the second one is reusability. To tap into this mass-production avenue, you have to have something to be mass produced. Now the only launch vehicle that can honestly be mass produced is a small launch vehicle, because that is the only kind of launch vehicle that has a lot of payloads. There is an availability of an order of magnitude more launches for small satellites than there is for large satellites."
Firefly is "definitely set for the near term," but its funding needs are moving deeper than the pockets of its founders. The principals have started fundraising in earnest, with "one hard commitment that will give us a multi-tens-of-million-dollar injection in about the next month [and] we have a couple of fairly solid leads," Markusic says, noting that there is a shortage of places for investors who want to get into New Space to put their money.
"What we're finding is that there's a scarcity of investment opportunity," he says. "People like the team we're building, and like the idea that they can actually get some capital in and potentially have a high payoff."
