"Love this shower invitation!! I am super picky and have a very romantic taste, so I did a lot of research before choosing an invite - this one is perfect! So cute & totally feminine! I added some lines in as well because I had more information to display than what was shown in the sample, and my biggest concern was that it would look too cluttered - not the case! The designer worked with me to create several proofs and let me compare the different ways she spaced it out - WPD designers are so accommodating and the invite came out absolutely perfect!!!"
"Was very happy with the whole process of selection, ordering, review and finished product. I wanted to add an extra line into the text and spoke to someone on the phone who explained how to include it. The proof review was very quickly emailed and the shower invitations arrived even sooner than I expected. It was a pleasure."
"Very pretty invitations. I received many compliments. The standard matte paper was a nice weight. I liked the option of changing the edges. They shipped very quickly too. I was very happy with this choice."
"This invitation was easy to customize and looks just beautiful in person. I have gotten several compliments from recipients of the invitation to my sister's bridal shower! I was able to customize the back of the invitation to include a little poem explaining to guests about what they should bring to the shower, and to also tell where they were registered. I was super happy with how the invitations turned out."
"I ordered this design as a sample for my daughter's upcoming bridal shower. She is getting married on a Carribean island, and the motif seemed perect, but I wanted to see the quality of the paper, printing, etc. before deciding. When the sample arrived, I was pleasantly surprised--the paper was a good quality stock with somewhat of a glossy finish, and the design really stood out with the pink print onthe soft blue waves of the background. I will definitley be ordering this design for her shower!"

A triple-threat guy.
The three-stage rocker of the Signal Rocker Light Snowboard lets you hold an edge without catching one. The flat area between the bindings allows you to carve the Rocker Light, while the second and third stages act as secondary contact points for the edges and allow you to pivot up to the nose and tail.
- Fast, durable sintered bases on all models
- Profile is thinner on the nose and tail but has a standard thickness between your feet for low spin weight and added responsiveness
- Alternating grain structure for maximum strength and added pop
- Biaxial glass gives the Rocker Light its soft tip to tail flex
- Nylon 8210 top material provides a softer torsion flex
- Carbon stringers from tip to tail for added pop and strength

Finally I found a good Park/Powder board!
I was tired of trying to decide whether I should bring my Powder board or my Park board on those iffy days and I always seamed to bring the wrong one. I was sick of having 2 baords that I had to choose between. I have been searching for years for a good Park/Powder board and have failed many times. I was fortunate enough to be able to demo the Signal Rocker Light on a crappy hardpack day, and again on an awesome powder day and in the park on both days! I finally found what I've been looking for for so many years! The flat (no camber) area between the bindings is perfect for hardpack park runs and for floating on top of the pow on powder days. The 2 stage rocker outside the bindings ensure that those presses look legit, the butters are buttery smooth, and the tips stay up and float like a dream while riding with a centered stance in the deepest of powder days.
I'm 5'5" and 110lbs. I usually ride a 144 DC BFF in the park and a 152 Lib Tech Skate Banana in the pow. I demoed the 152 Rocker Light and it blew any other reverse camber board out of the water for responsivness, float, butters, and overall fun in all conditions! You will read in other reviews that they say the board is loose and playful, which it is for the most part, but is still resposive. They also say it is a bit unstable at high speeds which made me a little hesitant about getting the board, but after demoing it and bombing down hills, it was a little chattery, but wasn't all that bad! You can do it all with this board! Who wants to buy my Rome Reverb Rocker from me? ;)
New Signal Rocker!
So much flex!!!
This board is soo fun and loose. Took me a few laps to learn how to ollie and level out. Reminds me of riding a skateboard. Little unstable in high speeds but you can still point and smash. You skid more then crave. But this board is so live in the park. If your looking for a board to mess and dink around the mountain with a skate background, you will dig this board.

KILLARNEY: 5.10 Archangel Raphael, 5.40 Henson, 6.10 Intensified, 6.40 Akira, 7.10 Tahaf, 7.40 Waver, 8.10 Cosmic Cannonball.
LINGFIELD: 2.20 The Dapper Tapper, 2.55 Disprove, 3.30 Wintour Leap, 4.05 Rolling Dice, 4.40 Lord Of The Storm, 5.15 Diamond Charlie, 5.50 Precision Five.
MUSSELBURGH: 2.10 Doppler Effect, 2.45 Pressure Point, 3.20 Master Bond, 3.55 Longshadow, 4.30 Busy Bimbo, 5.05 Strictly Glitz, 5.35 Giovanni Jack.
SOUTHWELL: 5.00 Cagoule, 5.30 Free Entry, 6.00 Copperbelt, 6.30 Blazeofenchantment, 7.00 Cousin Khee, 7.30 Rocksee, 8.00 Lucky Mark.
YORK: 1.55 Bogart, 2.30 DUTCH CONNECTION (NAP), 3.05 Kingston Hill, 3.40 Australia, 4.20 Spacious Sky, 4.55 Burnt Sugar.
DOUBLE: Dutch Connection and Australia.
Dutch Connection can continue his ascension by taking the Tattersalls Acomb Stakes on the first day of the Ebor Festival at York.
With the two feature races on the card, the Juddmonte International and the Neptune Investment Management Great Voltigeur Stakes, not particularly appealing from a betting perspective, value could instead be found in this Group Three over seven furlongs.
Dutch Connection will be up against it in a heat which bristles with potential, but he should be good enough to win a race of this nature.
Charlie Hills' youngster made a perfectly fine debut at Salisbury in June, after which he was unfortunate to bump into Faydhan over six furlongs at Haydock.
That rival is one of the leading contenders for next season's 2000 Guineas, so Dutch Connection actually did well to finish second that day, beaten six lengths.
The form looks solid, too, as the third horse home, Speedy Move, has since won two on the spin.
Hills was clearly anticipating a big run at Glorious Goodwood a month later, and Dutch Connection did not disappoint.
The Dutch Art colt relished stepping up to seven furlongs with a most authoritative two-and-a-half-length defeat of Rotherwick.
Six of the last 10 winners of that Goodwood maiden have since won at Listed level or higher so it is fair to assume Dutch Connection was not running against slowboats on the Downs.
Nor will that be the case at York, of course, but seven furlongs on a decent surface, allied to the appointment of William Buick, looks just the ticket at this stage of his career.
Conditions look ripe for Australia to achieve something pretty special in the Juddmonte International, with Kingston Hill also holding especially stout claims in the Voltigeur.
The Symphony Group Stakes always ensures the Ebor meeting gets off to a fast-and-furious start, with Bogart a quiet fancy to win back-to-back renewals.
Kevin Ryan's sprinter has been in tailspin since he struck by three-quarters of a length 12 months ago, which has seen his handicap mark fall 3lb lower than what it was at York last season.
Bogart also fleetingly showed the fires are still burning in the Skybet Dash, when he faded late on to finish 10th in what was a stronger race than this.
With that in mind, this return to five furlongs could be made to measure.
Spacious Sky looks one of the most interesting horses in the Fine Equinity Stakes.
The five-year-old gelding showed a good level of form over hurdles and on the Flat at the Galway Festival, but trainer Tony Martin has yet to get to the bottom of him on the level.
That Martin has gone out of his way to appoint Kieren Fallon must also be of some relevance.
Strictly Glitz could not have looked any better when winning at Beverley last week and can continue to make a fool of the assessor by winning the Brown Shipley Wealth Well Managed Handicap at Musselburgh.
The consistent Invasor Luck has been short of fortune this season, but all can be forgiven in the BetBright.com Handicap at Kempton.
Disprove looked very useful at Windsor last month and has a logical shout in the Racing Specials At 32RedSport.com Maiden Auction Stakes at Lingfield.
Blazeofenchantment can end a long run in the Lucy Flintham Birthday Handicap at Southwell if his encouraging second over course and distance earlier this month is factored into the equation.
*Make sure you check out the @sportinglife twitter account at midday on Wednesday August 20 for a social media Ebor Festival-related quiz - free bets with Sky Bet are there to be won!

Now, just as the globe turns its focus to next month's World Cup in Brazil, it has unveiled the miCoach Smart Ball, a soccer ball with built-in sensors to track everything from the power of your strike to the finesse of your free kick.

An abundance of sensors and armbands speaks to the popularity of tracking sporting performance. But extending this technology to an extreme sport like skateboarding raises another set of questions. How can a device be attached to the board without affecting performance? And, even if it is possible to quantify a sport so deeply rooted in the expression of personal style, is there a point? A group of skaters from Buenos Aires, Argentina feel there's much to gain by tracking flips and spins and have developed Syrmo, a motion tracker that fits discreetly underneath the trucks to gauge everything from air time to the force of your ollie.

Thanks in large part to crowd-funding sites like Kickstarter, the number of performance watches and monitors available has exploded in recent years.

Security-conscious smartphone users may decline apps' requests to "use your current location," but according to research conducted at the University of Illinois, doing so still doesn't mean that those users can't be tracked. This is because each phone's sensors – such as the accelerometer – have a unique "fingerprint." By identifying that fingerprint in sensor data sent from the phone, third parties could at the very least keep track of what the user is doing at what time. Read More
Gymwatch sensor measures strength during a workout
There's certainly no shortage of fitness tracking devices on the market.

With cardio-focused trackers in abundance, the team behind Gymwatch is looking to muscle in on the burgeoning wearables market with a sensor that measures strength and motion, meaning it could prove more useful for those looking to gain weight rather than lose it.

1995 Subaru Legacy 4dr Sedan
When I bought my Legacy L FWD in 2000,
it had just over 40,000 miles on it.
Now it's over 90,000 and it has yet to
let me down. The knock sensor has been
replaced, as has the distributor cap,
but those are the only services beyond
an oil change it's needed. It's fun to

an automatic transmission, and
comfortable for long drives. It's a

Local veterans return to Normandy
by Cody Combs
Rochester, N.Y. - 4 local veterans will be returning to Normandy, this time under very different circumstances.
John Foy, John Cipolla, Joseph Mack and Louis Massciangelo will all be making the trip Normandy to mark the 70th anniversary since the D-Day invasion in 1944.
Many consider the invasion to be one of the most pivotal events in WWII.
This will be WWII veteran John Cipolla's first trip back Normandy since he initially hit the shores in 1944.
"I was in the infantry," he said, reflecting on how many years have passed. "I had no idea I'd be going back there, I thought I was going to be in Rochester for the rest of my life."
His friend and fellow WWII veteran John Foy will also be making the trip.
"It will be an emotional trip," said Foy, who served under General Patton in the Battle of the Bulge. "I wasn't involved in D-Day, but the fighting is the same, more than a few tears will be shed."
Foy is slated to meet President Obama on June 6th during a ceremony at Omaha Beach.
In total all 4 Rochester WWII veterans are scheduled to be in France for approximately 2 weeks.
The trip is paid for by the Greatest Generation Foundation.

Sky fans cheer during a recent game at Allstate Arena. Veronica Arreola says women's sports are different but not boring. | John J. Kim~Sun-Times
Updated: October 29, 2011 12:36AM
At a recent Chicago Sky game, I heard the most emotion-filled cheering coming from behind me. Was it my 8-year old daughter or one of her friends from Girl Scouts? I had organized the outing as a way for me to share my love of women's sports with these girls.
I turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see it was one of the brothers who had been dragged to the game. Next to my husband was another brother, who kept nudging him as if to say, ''Did you just see that?''
After the game, one of the moms came up to me and asked, ''Is it always like this?''
Oh, yes. Yes, it is.
Despite almost 40 years of Title IX and all the love we have for women's athletes in the Olympics, there is still a stigma attached to attending women's sporting events. The biggest argument is that they are ''boring.'' Women's games are slower than men's games. And, of course, (most) women don't dunk. I will admit that the games are different. But different isn't bad. It doesn't mean worse and certainly doesn't mean boring.
We just witnessed the country gripped in Women's World Cup fever. It broke the tweet-per-second record. Soccer is the most popular sport among children, especially girls. I would pick up my daughter from summer camp, and she would ask, ''Did we win?'' She didn't care that the game was waiting for her at home on our DVR; she had to know. For her generation of girls, this is their game — and it is far from boring. While she was certainly born with some bravado, excelling at sports made her see what that swagger can do. No amount of ''Good jobs!'' can equal dribbling down the field and kicking a goal.
This summer, I have attended women's professional soccer, basketball and softball games. Each game was filled with cheers, oohs and aahs. You could hear various chants from the crowd, including the ever-present, ''Go, girl!"
The 8-year-old boy led a rousing round of ''Let's go, Sky!'' I believe we have a generation of boys growing up who will cheer a Sylvia Fowles block as well as a Derrick Rose dunk. These boys will grow up to value women's physical strength, not just their emotional strength.
What I learned at that Sky game is that it just takes one game. If someone is a sports fan and can let go of preconceived notions, they can get so caught up in the game that they will forget whether they are cheering on a woman or a man.
With just one game, I am betting that most people who hate on women's sports for being boring will end up just like that 8-year-old fan — cheering so loudly that someone will turn around and join in.
Veronica I. Arreola is assistant director of the Center for Research on Women and Gender at UIC.

GPP 2020 project celebrated at Horizon 2020 Open Day
The GPP 2020 project was mentioned at a recent Horizon 2020 open day as an example of best practice in proposal writing. The project, which has been running since 2013, was celebrated as one of the five best Intelligent Energy Europe projects to look up for H2020 EE proposal writers.
There were a number of presentations regarding funding opportunities and areas of focus in terms of energy efficiency for the new European Commission's term of office. An interesting insight came from Marie Donnelly, who explained that by sector buildings have by far the highest energy saving potential within the EU (46 percent), followed by mobility (33 percent) and power (31 percent).
For more information, visit the Horizon 2020 website.

Public procurement's contribution to EU energy efficiency goals
Public tenders published through the GPP 2020 project have saved the equivalent of over 65,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide since the project began, more than that produced by 10,000 average European households each year.
Fifteen tender models have now been uploaded to the GPP 2020 website, showing exactly how different councils across Europe have gone about implementing low carbon tenders. The procurements cover everything from white goods to green vehicles and share successful procurement approaches, award criteria and learning which can be used by other public authorities.
As well as carbon dioxide, the tenders have saved the equivalent of more than 15,000 tonnes of oil to date. The GPP 2020 project is working to support the European Union's goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by twenty percent, increasing the market share of renewable energy by 20 percent and increasing energy efficiency by 20 percent by 2020.
For more information, visit the low-carbon tenders page.

New procurement guide helps public authorities unlock the benefits of innovation
To reduce the existing knowledge gap on public procurement of innovation (PPI), the EU-funded Public Procurement of Innovation Platform project has launched a comprehensive guide. The guide, which is available online and in print, offers explanations of procedures, definitions and answers to common questions, a selection of case studies, and useful resources for further reading. Particular emphasis is placed on the latest EU procurement directives, as well as ways in which procurement procedures can facilitate greater innovation.
"In a time of decreasing public budgets, innovation can facilitate the delivery of vital infrastructure and services. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, that public procurers can effectively engage in PPI. This guide will empower procurers to create a more efficient, sustainable and modern Europe." said Antonio Tajani, Vice-President of the European Commission. The total value of public procurement in the EU is estimated at €2 trillion per year – or about 19 percent of European GDP.
The document will be of interest to procurers, policy makers, consultants, private companies and others who have a stake in successful PPI. "Europe has an enormous and overlooked opportunity to spur innovation using procurement. Moreover, public procurement of innovative products and services are vital for improving the quality and efficiency of public services at a time of budget constraints. Through this guide, public procurers will be equipped with the necessary knowledge to effectively engage in PPI." said Mark Hidson, Deputy Regional Director of ICLEI Europe, and coordinator of the PPI Platform project.

The first training course for public procurers organized by Ecosistemi in Italy was held in Genova between 21 and 22 March and was hosted by the Region of Liguria.
The training held by Livia Mazzà (first day) and Dana Vocino (second day) was attended by 30 persons.
The introductory session has been dedicated to deepening the strategic role of green public procurement in the European policies, highlighting the recent normative developments and the trends of the sector. In addition, the GPP dissemination and promotion actions in Liguria and the GPP initiatives implemented by the regional administration (through the Regional Procurement Agency) in the sectors of paper, stationery and IT products have been presented, thanks to the interventions of the representatives of the Region of Liguria (Gaetano Schena, Nadia Galluzzo and Enrico Clementi). Linda Fabianelli from the Regional Energy Agency presented the European project PRIMES with which GPP2020 can establish important synergies in the phases of support to the implementation and dissemination of low carbon tenders. The second morning session was dedicated to the planning strategies of low carbon acquisitions. An interactive simulation exercise has been proposed in order to enable the participants to focus the organization needs and priorities. The second part of the day was dedicated to the analysis of tenders with environmental criteria, the participants being divided in three working groups.
The second day has been entirely dedicated to the theme of low carbon procurement in the construction sector. An update concerning the development of the minimum environmental criteria from the GPP National Action Plan has been presented to the participants and they shared experiences and comments. Additionally, the participants have been informed on key technical references such as pricing, LCA software, examples of green tenders.

PCP training from ENIGMA project, 28 March, Brussels
The ENIGMA project aims to implement a joint transnational pre-commercial procurement (PCP) procedure in the field of public lighting. Coordinated by the city of Eindhoven, the project's five partner municipalities (Eindhoven, Malmo, Stavanger, Espoo and Bassano del Grappa) are working together procuring an innovative solution, and testing the technologies that their commercial subcontractors develop in a real life environment.
This half day training session will include a presentation on the Legal framework of Pre-Commercial Procurement and will shed light on legal and IPR issues that may arise when running a pre-commercial procurement exercise. The session will give participants the opportunity to discuss how intellectual property rights are shared between the contracting authority and the businesses participating in a pre-commercial procurement, including where the legal responsibilities lie.

Low carbon tender database launched and first case studies published
A core goal within the GPP 2020 project is to tender and contract low carbon products, works and services. Through these tenders CO2 eq emissions are reduced and a more energy efficient economy is encouraged. In order to achieve long term sustainability, the tenders need to be replicable for other local authorities interested in making their procurement greener. Therefore each tender issued by one of the GPP 2020 partners is documented as a tender model using a case study format. Furthermore, these tender models are easily accessible through our searchable tender database. With a tag cloud and an overview of the saved emissions, the tender database gives users an insight into how to set up smart tenders for more than 20 products, services or works covered within the GPP 2020 project.
Two tender models have been published so far: the German Federal Procurement Agency has purchased thin clients and the Catalan Government a fleet of vehicles. These case studies are now available in the tender database. Over the course of the project this will grow to over 100 cases. Keep your eyes open for more to come in the next weeks.

London installs LED lighting and reduces carbon emissions
As part of its energy-efficient lighting programme Transport for London (TfL) has procured 35,000 LED street lights which will increase visibility and security of the road network. Such a complex lighting systems needs an efficient control mechanism. TfL has awarded a contract to Harvard Engineering to install a wireless monitoring and control system. This will further increase energy-efficiency as it allows individually controlling lighting levels and assuring the quick replacement of broken lights.
Together these measures will reduce future carbon emissions by 9,700 tonnes annually and save an average of £1.85m once the system is fully implemented in 2016. Energy consumption is expected to fall by 40% in comparison to current levels.
Dana Skelley, director of asset management at TfL, commented, "The performance and cost effectiveness of energy efficient lighting has improved considerably over the last few years. Our aim is to provide assets fit for the future and this programme to upgrade lighting on the capital's busiest roads is a simple, yet hugely effective, way to not only reduce carbon emissions, but to also reduce costs, whilst providing better lighting of our road network."

Croatian procurers get ready for GPP
GPP 2020 held its first 'train the procurers' seminar in Croatia from 27 to 28 November 2013. The two-day seminar aimed to equip procurers with the knowledge and skills to procure low-carbon products, services and works.
The seminar focused on the legal and organisational framework for green tendering procedures in detail. Procurers also learned how to calculate life cycle costing (LCC) and CO₂ emissions.
Participants of the training will implement low-carbon tenders in ten categories, the CO₂ savings of which will be monitored in the scope of GPP 2020. The aim is to demonstrate the impact that including low-carbon criteria in public procurement can achieve.
These low-carbon tenders should serve as examples to other procurers, and collectively contribute to the EU's target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase the share of renewable energy and increase energy efficiency.
Mrs. Sandra Vlašić, Environmental Programme Officer at UNDP, said, 'Trainings of this kind are very helpful to public procurers because they have to follow legal procedures while taking into account technical requirements of the products and services with a low-carbon footprint.'
She added, 'The GPP2020 project can contribute to low carbon development strategy in the Republic of Croatia. '
The training was organised in collaboration with the Croatian Chamber of Commerce and fifteen organisations that joined GPP 2020. The participants were public procurers from a number of organisations:
- the Central Procurement Office,
- the Croatian Energy Company (HEP d.d.),
- Zagreb City Holding,
- the Municipality of Tkon,
- the Municipality of Bilje,
- the Municipality of Medulin,
- the Municipality of Bukovec Mali,
- the Ministry of Environment and Nature Protection,
- the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund,
- Primorsko-goranska County,
- Osjecko-baranjska County,
- Regional Energy Agency North,
- the University of Split,
- the Faculty of Naval architecture of the University of Rijeka,
- the Croatian Standard Institute,
- the NGO Jav.Na, and
- the Association of Municipalities in the Republic of Croatia

Energy-efficient procurement with Buy Smart+
The Buy Smart+ Green Procurement in Europe project has the objective to increase the share of energy efficient procurement in Europe. To this end, the 18 European project partners offer advice and tools to procurers in private companies and public authorities.
Buy Smart+ looks at both green procurement in general and specific issues for different product groups: building components, green electricity, household appliances, lighting, office equipment and vehicles. A tool for calculating the life cycle cost provides the opportunity to identify synergies between environmental and economic benefits. Besides advice to procurement offices, public relations, evaluation of experiences and policy recommendations are part of the project.
As part of Buy Smart+ Green Procurement in Europe helpdesks have been established in 15 countries. These offer consultations, training, good practice and well-tested tools in the national language. This also includes technical guidelines on various product groups, life cycle cost calculators and training material.
A wider up-take of green procurement is promoted by consulting and training purchasers directly. Pilot projects build a critical mass of successful green procurement case studies. These success stories are communicated broadly.
Buy Smart+ is coordinated by Berlin Energy Agency (Germany) and is co-funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme of the European Commission. It will run until September 2014.

Measuring the impact of low-carbon tenders
GPP 2020 aims to achieve substantial reductions in CO₂ emissions by implementing low-carbon tenders. To quantify the impact of these tenders, energy and CO₂ savings are calculated for each of these.
The savings are calculated by comparing emissions of 'standard' and previous tenders with those of the low-carbon tenders. While the methodology does not claim to represent the exact real-life savings, it offers an approximate estimation that serves to demonstrate the impact that can be achieved by including low-carbon criteria in public procurement.
GPP 2020 low-carbon tenders need to take potential energy and CO₂ reductions into consideration straight from the beginning of the development of the tender. An initial calculation informs decision makers and procurers of the savings that can be achieved. Once the tender is awarded, all GPP 2020 low-carbon tenders are monitored and their impact is assessed by calculating the amount of energy and CO₂ savings the tender achieved. For legal reasons, the methodology cannot be applied during the award phase.
The exact methodology differs between different types of products, services and works and takes account of the specific country context. The methodology is currently being refined and more details will be published on the website once available.

Shifting focus to the cause of IT energy usage
Great strides have been made to increase the energy efficiency of hardware, data center facilities, and network infrastructure. These Green IT initiatives aim to reduce energy-loss in
the supply chain from energy grid to computing devices. However, the demand for computation comes from software applications that perform business services. Therefore, to measure and improve efficiency for entire systems, energy-efficiency indicators are needed at the level of services.
Therefore, a consortium funded by NL Agency has designed an initial set of indicators for energy efficiency of e-services and has tested them on two e-government services of the Dutch national government. Energy indicators provide insight, and as a result, activities to lower the energy footprint can be quantified and evaluated. A side effect of working with these indicators is that it has already resulted in quick wins and indications for more structural improvements. This offers possibilities to save on hardware as well.
Example of service which varies its use of energy with its transaction level (blue line) and a service which does not (red line).
Due to this success more parties - public as well as commercial - have started to create energy footprints for their services. In the end this will provide benchmarks and will give procurers the possibility to ask for energy improvements of their services - saving tax payers money and the environment.
For more information, read the paper "Energy-efficiency indicators for e-Services" [pdf] or contact Joris Gresnigt, CSR Officer at Logius (Dutch government digital service) or the Software Improvement Group, energy-footprint(at)sig.eu.

Dutch Green Deal raises ambitions for sustainable infrastructure
The Netherlands want to step up their sustainable innovation, energy savings and accomplish more with a lower budget in the railway and civil engineering sector. These are some of the goals set out in the Green Deal Grond-Weg-Waterbouw, which was signed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, the Department of Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat), the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, ProRail and 17 other parties this summer.
At the core of the Green Deal is the a working method called Aanpak Duurzaam GWW (Sustainability Approach for Civil Engineering). It offers room for sustainable innovation and ensures that matters such as energy savings, quality of life and scarcity of resources are incorporated at the earliest possible stage in project planning. Aanpak Duurzaam GWW offers resources and tools such as an ambition web or CO2 performance ladder that help to formulate and achieve ambitious sustainability targets. It is a joint initiative of principals, contractors and professional associations.
State Secretary Mansveld (Infrastructure and the Environment) said, "In this way, the chances for sustainable procurement are better utilised. I also challenge governments and companies to follow the example which is set by Green Deal, to come up with similar initiatives."
By exploiting the opportunities each project offers, the Green Deal will help to harness maximum sustainability benefits. This could involve reduced maintenance, improved quality of life, safer solutions, energy savings, reduced CO₂ emissions, and more. It facilitates to weigh the pros and cons with regards to People, Planet and Profit. The broad range of partners in the Green Deal is expected to ensure contributions from all parties within their roles in projects and thereby accelerate a transition in the sector towards more sustainability. The Green Deal partners will also share their lessons learned mutually.
Currently, the biggest market players have signed up to the Green Deal and new registrations continue to come in. A second sign-up round will therefore take place this autumn.

Somali pirates released the MSC Panama container ship this week after reportedly receiving a $7 million ransom for the vessel, according to published reports.
The 1,743-TEU ship and its 23 crew members had been held captive since the vessel was seized Dec. 10, 2010.
Reuters reported the ransom was dropped onto the ship by a small plane on Tuesday and pirates allowed the vessel to sail away.
The Liberian-flagged ship was seized by five heavily armed pirates in the Indian Ocean south of Tanzania, on its way to Mozambique. The attack was relatively far to the south of the region where most attacks have occurred in the past two years, evidence of the expanding reach of the piracy that has troubled trade near the East Coast of Africa.
The vessel has been under long-term contract to Mediterranean Shipping under the management of U.S.-based Ship Management Services.

How come this worked? Launch app from image.
I am wondering why something I did today worked and its implications.
I am in the middle of upgrading to a new PC so many of the apps I use on a regular basis are on my new Win 7 PC and some of my apps are on my old XP PC. I had removed most of the apps that had been installed on the new PC from the old one because a number of the apps I will need to run in the future will not run on the new OS so I created a VM of the old PC using VMware Convert. Since I wanted this VM to be as light as possible I removed all but the essential programs from the old PC which is where I am at now.
Today I was working on the old PC and discovered I needed an app that was no longer on it. I did not have access to the new PC but I did have access to an image I had made of it. I thought perhaps I would be able to find the install files for the app from the image rather than have to re-download them so I loaded the image as a virtual drive and went looking for them. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the install files were not there. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I navigated to the virtual drives program files folder in Windows Explorer, found the programs folder, and doubled clicked on the launch (exe) file for the app. Much to my surprise the app (Sony Sound Forge) launched without issue. I was able to use it, save my file to the real machines C drive, and then dismount the virtual drive without issue.
Why was I able to do this? I know the registration files and the installed program etc are part of the image but I did not think this would be sufficient to allow the program to launch as if it were currently installed on the old PC.
The implication here is that it may be possible to have VMs simply based on a drive image. No need for special software, no need to do PtoV using a program like VMware Convert, just mount an image as a drive, double click on any exe file for a particular program in that image, and away you go.
So why did this happen, why was I able to launch the app from the Virtual drive?
I look forward to your comments/thoughts on this.

Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
I am not sure I understood you correctly? You launched this app on your old XP PC from the image of your new 7 PC:
I did not have access to the new PC but I did have access to an image I had made of it.
It could also be so simple that when you deleted the application from XP it did not delete configuration settings, leaving enough behind, so when launched and code instructed the app to get for instance display coordinates and so on they were still in XP to be found.
Nothing to worry, but also no reason to start celebrating saved work as if virtual machines would no longer be needed. They are still needed.
My guess is it is portable. To test this, copy the app folder to any other PC or virtual machine and try if it runs.

If it ran from the Program Files folder .exe for the program then it is portable enough to run this way, as are some other games and programs.
Are you sure it wasn't running virtually, or was the image only mounted to access files?

I've seen similar situations like with PokerStars which discontinued a favorite version from being available once it is uninstalled, but allowed those who had it installed to keep using it permanently.
After an OS reinstall a fan was devastated that he'd lost all of his poker friends in a newer version that wanted him to start over. I mounted the backup image of his previous install using System Image - Extract Files Using Disk Management and ran the Program file which started the old game. I then copied the file out of the image, unmounted it and the old version of the game still ran. So he is still running it today from the inert Program File with a link to it's .exe on his desktop.
This may be what's happening with your game.
