Professional Advantage is the IET's membership package for early career engineers between 5 and 6 years from graduation, offering a discounted membership fee of only £90 per year up to a maximum of 2 years instead of our standard rate of £137 (for 2014). Professional Advantage is the third step of our IET Advantage programme and follows on from our IET Graduate Advantage and Career Advantage packages. For more information on Graduate Advantage and Career Advantage packages please visit About IET Advantage.
The key benefit of Professional Advantage is that it is designed, as the name would suggest, to guide you on the way to being a professional engineer. If you are working towards professional registration (CEng or IEng) we will provide you with a plan of suggested goals to guide you towards registration, building on the goals provided under Career Advantage. Throughout the Professional Advantage membership period the IET will be supporting your career and keeping you up-to-date with events, knowledge and communities, which will be important to keep you up-to-date in your engineering career.
Yes, being on Graduate or Career Advantage is not a prerequisite for joining Professional Advantage. As long as you meet the eligibility criteria for Professional Advantage you will be able to take advantage of this package.
Professional Advantage is for people who graduated between 5 and 6 years ago. The number of years Professional Advantage discount you receive depends on when you sign up. If you sign up in your fifth year after graduation you will receive 2 years at £90 and if you join in your sixth year after graduation you will receive 1 years at £90. You will need to be, or become, a Member with MIET to be eligible to join Professional Advantage in either of the years.
Go to the Join IET Advantage page, apply online or download and complete the Member application and payment form (remember to tick the Professional Advantage box) and then post them, with payment, to the Member Assessment Team, The IET, Michael Faraday House, Stevenage, Herts, SG1 2AY, UK
Professional Advantage already offers membership at a greatly reduced price and therefore, there are no further discounts on this rate.

To join the IET and sign up to Professional Advantage, please apply online or complete and return the Member application form which can be downloaded from the Join IET Advantage page.
From 2014 we will automatically be offering you renewal into Professional Advantage where your records show that you graduated between 5 and 6 years ago.
It depends on your renewal date. If you are eligible for Professional Advantage and have paid your renewal at the full standard membership rate within the last 3 months you may be eligible for a refund. Please call Membership Services on +44 (0) 1438 765678 to learn more.
Yes, Professional Advantage is only open to MIET's, as we believe that the package and communications are more suitable to those at MIET level. If you have not already made the transfer to MIET, you should apply for a transfer of membership (subject to assessment). To transfer your membership, please go to the Transfer or upgrade your membership page.
As a part-time post graduate student you are not eligible for student membership, however as long as you graduated within the last 5 to 6 years you will be eligible for Professional Advantage. If you graduated in the past year you are eligible for Graduate Advantage, for graduates between 1 and 4 years from course end date Career Advantage will be the applicable entry point to the IET Advantage programme.
If you sign up to Professional Advantage in your 6th year after graduation you will be entitled to one final year of membership at £90, plus you will receive all the other benefits of Professional Advantage with access to the support, guidance and encouragement particularly useful if you are working on your way to, or considering making the move towards Professional Registration.
Members can still sign up to any part of the Advantage programme if they are mature students, the only restriction is that they must be either be in their final year of studying or with in the first 6 years from graduating. For Professional Advantage members must join within the period 5 to 6 years of graduating and complete the transfer to Member with MIET.
Professional Advantage is available to students and graduates of engineering or technology related degrees across the world.

Applications from all other parts of the world are processed through the UK.
Professional Advantage is the third and final part of the IET Advantage Programme and once you reach the end of this scheme we will automatically offer you renewal back into standard membership and the standard membership rate. You will still be able to access the Advantage material on the website which will give continued guidance if you are still on the road to Professional Registration and your membership status will remain as a Member with MIET allowing you to still use these designatory letters.

You can pair Kick with Grip and turn it into a laser beam, but I had better results with Kick + Rapid Fire. Very, very good weapon. The iron sights are pretty decent, too (reminds me of the old RPD irons from COD4; really clear and open), so I don't feel like it needs an optic. That's a personal preference, though.

26/09/2014The warm ocean currents are not the responsabile for the collapse of floating ice shelves. In fact, the warming of ice surface and its melting are that factor that makes water to infiltrate into the massive ice structure, destabilizing it to the final collapse. This conclusion was obtained by an international team of researchers from the United States, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Canada and the UK, who have brought to the light of day a new view on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice floating platforms. This study, which included the participation of researchers from CESAM, was published this month in Science and gives as an example the catastrophic disintegration in 2002 of the Larsen B ice shelf floating off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, an event that proved the team to be associated with changes in air temperature and consequent melting ice.

27/08/2014How is the jaguar Panthera onca perceived by local communities along the Paraguai River in the Brazilian Pantanal?Rapid habitat conversion, hunting as a retaliatory response to livestock depredation and, potentially, lack of knowledge regarding the species' ecological role are the main factors influencing conservation of the Near Threatened jaguar Panthera onca in the Pantanal wetland of Brazil. The CESAM study highlights the environmental education programmes and ecotourism as the better strategies to reduce livestock losses and to minimize the perception that jaguars are dangerous in all situations.More details: http://uaonline.ua.pt/pub/deta.....
22/07/2014The levels of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc in urban gardens soils and pastures situated in the Porto area exceed the maximums set by the European Union for the presence in agricultural areas of heavy and potentially toxic metals. The findings, which are extensible to urban gardens of the rest of the national territory, belong to a team of researchers from the University of Aveiro & CESAM that indicate the need for assessment of soil quality and risk to public health from ingestion of the products concerned.News published in the various media:http://www.publico.pt/local/no.....to-1663708 http://www.jn.pt/paginainicial.....-+Ultimas) http://portocanal.sapo.pt/noticia/32527/ http://www.cienciahoje.pt/inde.....amp;op=all http://www.tvciencia.pt/tvcnot.....;codnot=85 http://www.rtp.pt/noticias/ind.....;visual=61 http://www.rtp.pt/noticias/ind.....;visual=61
22/07/2014The project Bioatlas aims to be a digital platform for decision support, which innovatively combines the technology of geographic information with scientific research. The project brings together a set of information and technical-scientific knowledge about biomass energy, not available in an integrated and organized way, representing an investment with medium and long-term impacts on energy efficiency.The project, supported by the COMPETE programme under the Collective Actions, has an eligible investment of 477000 euros and involves as partners the Inteli (promoter), the ENERGYIN - Pole of competitiveness and energy technology, the University of Aveiro (throught the CESAM ) and AREANATejo.project web page: http://www.bioatlas.pt/

11/07/2014A study from the Wildlife Unit (UVS) of the Department of Biology & CESAM of the University of Aveiro has validated, for the first time, the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the assessment of concentrations of metabolites of stress hormones in fecal matter, using deer feces as a model.The study, recently published in "Ecological Indicators" journal opens a new field of application for NIRS technology and has important implications for the monitoring of wildlife as it improves the efficiency and reduces the time and cost of conventional analytical techniques.More details: http://uaonline.ua.pt/pub/deta.....&lg=en
09/07/2014Wastewater reuse is currently considered globally as the most critical element of sustainable water management. Water scarcity, foreseen to aggravate, pushes for maximum utilization of non-conventional water. Although reuse is accompanied by a number of benefits, several potential drawbacks still puzzle scientists. The applied treatments fail to completely remove microcontaminants, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and/or their genes (ARB&Gs). Knowledge on the actual effects of reuse with regard to these aspects is currently not consolidated. This Action will answer critical questions through a European multidisciplinary network, structured in interactive Working Groups (WGs), to achieve: a) identification of the microbiome and mobile antibiotic resistome in treated wastewater, b) assessment of the potential for uptake/transmission of microcontaminants and ARB&Gs in crops, c) determination of effect-based bioassays required for wastewater reuse, d) identification of efficient/economically viable technologies able to meet the current challenges and, e) development of a relevant risk assessment and policy framework. The Action will establish criteria on technologies/assessment methods for wastewater treatment and suggest new effluent quality criteria to overcome current barriers and safeguard the reuse practice. The Action will have a major impact on the enhancement of sustainable wastewater reuse in light of current challenges at technological, economical and societal level.More details about this COST action: http://www.cost.eu/domains_act.....ons/ES1403
09/07/2014The management of tree species non-native to European geographical regions has a long tradition within forestry management practice. Their introduction to Europe (initially focussed on growing tree species) dates back to the 18th century when enormous demands were being made on natural resources to sustain the on-going industrialization of Europe. Today issues of biomass production and C sequestration as well as the question of whether these species could increase the adaptive capacity of forests to long-term climate change patterns have fuelled a growing interest in non-native tree species in Europe. In order to determine their fullest potential (and associated management options, but also assess associated risks and challenges) the need for a communication platform - allowing for discussions with stakeholder groups from within and beyond European borders; is argued.More details about this COST action: http://www.cost.eu/domains_act.....ons/FP1403
08/07/2014The international trade in live plants is a major pathway for the introduction of invasive tree pests and pathogens, resulting in environmental and economic damage. Many recently introduced pests and diseases were not known to be harmful, or unknown to science, and were not regulated before they invaded, indicating that the current system to identify harmful species does not provide sufficient protection from invasions by alien pests and pathogens. A novel way of identifying potentially harmful organisms for regulation is by monitoring European trees planted in regions that export plants to Europe. The Action will 1) establish a global network of scientists and regulators in countries where sentinel nurseries could be established from seed or where there are botanical gardens or arboreta with exotic trees, 2) develop common protocols for the monitoring and identification of pests and 3) explore ways to regulate the establishment of such nurseries and the use of data collected through them. This Action will also bring together detailed information about the international trade in trees and the environmental value of native trees in Europe. The Action will produce written, electronic and workshop outputs, as well as at least five short-term scientific missions per year.More details about this COST action: http://www.cost.eu/domains_act.....ons/FP1401

Reviews of Fort Worth Central A/C Contractors
Fort Worth, TX
Bobby did a great job! I called him on Saturday and he came by a couple of hours later. I was very much impressed by his promptness and the quality of his work. As I told him, I've found my new A/C guy.
Fort Worth, TX
Professional installing crew did a great job instaliing the AC system; stayed late to ensure completion ; and did an excellent job cleaning up after themselves. Great customer service with prompt attention to my questions or concerns. As of today no problems with the system.
Keller, TX
Our unit was struck by lightening and were without AC during some of the hottest days. We interviewed approximately four different contractors,with Allied being the last. We decided to go with Allied for a variety of reasons. Allied has an A+ rating with the BBB; great reviews all over the internet, and as soon as John came into our home and felt how hot it was, he said he needed to get us cooling. When I told him that we were still waiting on our insurance, he said that it didn't matter. He offered to install a loaner and when I got the insurance stuff worked out he would come pick up the unit. Knowledge, customer service, and quality work

Here's another one I chased and hollered down the block for a photo opportunity. Once I got his attention, he was absolutely accommodating. I asked him where he was going on his bike dressed this way: "to work" he answered.
"Where do you work?" I asked.
"The DA's office," he answered, and I looked at him with puzzlement. It wasn't the answer I expected. "District Attorney," he clarified.

In some Role Playing Games (and Roguelikes in specific), a Dungeon Crawling party may obtain items whose exact identities and purposes are a mystery at first — the characters don't automatically know what these items are supposed to be, and (more importantly) the game doesn't tell the player either; it's labelled as an "unknown" or "unidentified" item or given an extremely generic descriptor like "a red potion" or "a scroll labelled 'FOOBIE BLETCH'" (as opposed to the usual "Healing Potion" or "Elixir of Life"). The task of divining the true identity of these items is the purpose of another item, a special skill, or an NPC specializing in identification/appraisal/whatever-you-call-it. This can be justified for certain kinds of items, like potion bottles (whose labels may be the only clue as to what's inside), or items that are stored/hidden inside a generic container. Until it's been identified, all the item really does is occupy space in the player's Inventory Management Puzzle, which (depending on the size of said inventory) may require the player to decide whether it's really worth lugging around twenty extra pounds of useless inventory in the hopes that it turns out to be more than just Vendor Trash, or if it's something they can safely toss out and/or come back for later (without it getting Lost Forever). Whether or not the player can use an item before getting it identified varies — do you really want to take the chance that the random glass bottle with purple goop you just picked up turns out to be a Healing Potion and not deadly poison, or that a shiny-looking sword is actually a useful weapon as opposed to rusty old Vendor Trash (or worse, harboring a nasty — and usually clingy — curse?) Some games won't let you use or equip the item at all until its true nature has been identified; others will let you do so at your own peril (but will usually disclose the item's true nature after the fact if you do). Fortunately for you, sometimes you can figure out clues to the item's nature without having to actually use it (based on secondary factors, like the item's size/weight or where it's sorted in your inventory screen). For example, in some games an unknown item's description (icon, Flavor Text, etc.) is consistent between all items of that type, so if one unidentified 'blue potion' refills your Mana Meter, there's a good chance that any future 'blue potions' will do the same. Likewise, if a game collates the player's inventory by item type and quantity (e.g. "Blue Potion x2" instead of "Blue Potion" A and "Blue Potion" B) then this implies that they are two of the same item. And if it's an item randomly dropped/found off a defeated monster, there's a good chance that other monsters of that type will drop the same item. But none of these are guaranteed! — it depends on if the game decides the item's true properties when it's first acquired or when it's actually used. And since unidentified items go hand in hand with Randomly Generated Loot and Randomly Generated Levels, these properties may be assigned randomly to begin with, where knowledge from one play session may not help you in the next: e.g., drinking a blue potion from Dungeon A may heal you, but the apparently identical blue potion from Dungeon B might make you breathe fire instead. This is Older Than the NES, with roots in Tabletop RPGs where items may have hidden properties known only to the Game Master unless/until discovered by the players. Note that this does not necessarily apply to items whose unidentified nature is a plot point — video games generally keep plot-relevant items (identified or otherwise) in a category separate from the regular inventory items.

Every relationship has it's rough spots. But when conflicts arise time and again, its time to solve the source once and for all -- and your reactions may surprise you. As Dr. Charlotte Kasl uncovers in her spiritual guide to marriage, If the Buddha Married, these conflicts could be remnants from your past relationships - or even your childhood. Learn how to recognize this problem pattern and move beyond these emotional hurdles in seven simple steps.
While life will always hand us problems to solve, there are what I call "counterfeit conflicts" that don't have much to do with what's really going on in present time. Throughout the dance of relationship, it's important to sort out ego-based reactions from childhood that need our individual attention, as opposed to true conflicts in the present that need us to negotiate our differences.
In troubled couples, people often start fights or create dramas in order to avoid their fear and emptiness. This is extremely common when there are active addictions or dependency in the relationship. We fight over red-herring issues and focus on our partner instead of focusing on ourselves. A man keeps urging his wife to lose weight and says he can't be sexually attracted unless she does, but doesn't realize he plays a part in his own sexual arousal.
Another cause of counterfeit conflict is when people, having adopted the belief that the world is hostile, are hyper-alert to any possibility of rejection or insensitivity, and repeatedly pounce on their partner with claims that he or she is mean, uncaring and so on. This common distortion of reality leads us to live in fear and give our power to our partner. We need to ask ourselves repeatedly, "What was really said?" How did I filter it through my own internal belief system?" Of course, this implies that we ask ourselves, "What is my internal belief system about the world?" about other people's intentions.

I was first drawn to Artspace as someone who enjoyed the work of some of the resident artists. The more I would wander down to Artspace, the more I was drawn in by the depth of what they do and the broad spectrum of their artists' work. Artspace is a great Downtown Raleigh neighbor and worth taking an some time to walk around and experience.

Makes two 9-inch piecrusts or 12 to 15 Jr. Pie piecrust rounds
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) very cold butter, cubed or cut into small pieces
- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice cold water
- Optional: Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water or milk)
1 In a large bowl or mixer, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter pieces and cut them into the flour mixture, working until you have big crumbs (see Tip). Add ice cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix in until the dough holds together.
2 Divide the dough into 2 mounds. Wrap each mound in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes to overnight. Let the dough stand for at least 15 minutes before rolling it out.
3 Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface or between 2 pieces of parchment or wax paper, then place the rolled-out dough in the pie pan and press into place.
4 For pies with tops, brush a little water on the edges of the bottom crust before adding the top crust and crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together with your fingers to seal them all around the pie. You can use your fingers, thumb, fork, or the back of a teaspoon to add a design along the ridges. Also, gently lift the edges from the pan a bit (it helps make it easier to cut and serve slices of the baked pie later on). Make little slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape (and add a decorative charm!). Another fun flourish is to add to the top crust little pieces of scrap dough cut out in shapes such as flowers or leaves. Brush the top crust with an egg wash, place on the decorative bits, and sprinkle with sanding sugar (or regular sugar) for a sparkly top.
Tip: What's best to use to cut the butter into the flour?
You can use two butter knives or a fork, or pulse gently with your mixer, or use your fingers. If you want to get a fun and fancy tool, get a pastry blender, also called a pastry cutter. It's a handheld tool, kind of like a potato masher for pastry dough! Whatever you use, I recommend chilling the utensil in the freezer first, so it's nice and cold! It is important that the butter stays as cold as possible, so if you use your fingers, be careful not to warm the butter too much with your hands.

Netflix Has Monetization Issues, Not Facebook and Pandora
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Netflix (NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings is out with a seemingly bullish statement this week regarding record usage of his company's streaming service.
On Tuesday, Hastings posted a message to his
(FB) page lauding his content licensing team for Netflix's first month (June) with more than 1 billion viewing hours.
Best-case scenario -- this means not only more subscribers, but a solid return to subscriber growth for Netflix.
Even in the best-case scenario, though, Netflix has issues that warrant caution.The public never sees the contracts Netflix signs with its content partners. It was well-publicized last year, however, when Sony (SNE) pulled its movies from Netflix streaming as part of the Starz contract, that Sony has the right to remove content once Netflix passed a subscriber threshold. Shortly after Sony made its moves, Starz severed its ties with Netflix, noting, via press release:
This decision is a result of our strategy to protect the premium nature of our brand by preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging of our exclusive and highly valuable content. With our current studio rights and growing original programming presence, the network is in an excellent position to evaluate new opportunities and expand its overall business.In other words, we cannot continue to allow Netflix to farm our content out to a growing subscriber base for the Wal-Mart (WMT) price of $8 a month. Simply put, Netflix, because it is so cheap and all-you-can-eat, dilutes premium content. With that mind, an increase in listener hours could actually present similar problems for Netflix. But, again, we do not know the terms of its content deals because the company does not release them. There's a bigger issue holding Netflix back that very few people have discussed. We approach it from a disadvantage because, once again, we can only guess what the terms of the typical Netflix content deal are. There's lots of talk about the apparent problems Facebook, Pandora (P) and other new media outlets have "monetizing" users, particularly those who gain access via a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. It seems that whether desktop or mobile, Netflix actually has the larger, more pressing monetization issue.

Underperforming magnets cast shadow over Large Hadron Collider's reactivation
Geez, we'll never suck Earth into a black hole at this rate. The faulty weld that shut down the Large Hadron Collider late last year isn't the only problem plaguing the 17-mile-long ring. Though connections between the magnets have been patched up (5,000 of the splices have been redone), a few dozen of the magnets themselves are underperforming.
From the New York Times:
In an e-mail exchange, Lucio Rossi, head of magnets for CERN, said that 49 magnets had lost their training in the sectors tested and that it was impossible to estimate how many in the entire collider had gone bad. He said the magnets in question had all met specifications and that the problem might stem from having sat outside for a year before they could be installed."Training" a magnet involves cranking up its electric current until it fails, and repeating the process to make the magnet able to handle higher currents. Retraining the underperforming components would be both costly and time consuming — two areas where the 15-years-in-the-making, $9 billion project is already stretching it.
At the very least, the magnets won't halt the operations of the LHC, which is expected to get a launch window from CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) this week. That said, underpowered means just that: the magnets won't be able to handle the requisite seven trillion volts it would take for us to rip open rifts to other dimensions and handily destroy the world. As it stands, CERN researchers think the LHC's ailing magnets will be able to handle four trillion at most.
Baby steps, LHC. You'll get there.

Over the next four days, we'll be highlighting a book a day from the Best Translated Book Award fiction longlist. Click here for all past write-ups.
Below is a guest post from Monica Carter, a member of the BTBA fiction committee, bookseller at Skylight, and curator of Salonica. Thanks again for all your help covering the longlist titles!
Ersi Sotiropoulos, a virtuoso of postmodern Greek fiction, masters the short story in her collection, Landscape with Dog and Other Stories. Sotiropoulos, whose 2000 novel Zigzag through the Bitter-Orange Trees, won both the national Greek book award and the book critics award, continues to use her deft sense of psychological insight and poetic language to give us portraits of the intimate and the abstract.
From the very first story, there is a familiarity that draws the reader in, that reminds of something comforting. But Sotiropoulos layers on top of that security a sense of foreboding. There is an ambiguity to her scenes and to her characters so that we are left to question our own instincts. She infuses the narrative of each story with a controlled terror that makes characters relationship seem like they could snap at any moment. Yet, she never gives us that release or makes it that easy for the reader, that definitive. The beginnings, middles and ends are blurry and we are left to decide where the story began and ended. This is not to say that the stories in this collection are not definitive, they are. They present the moments in life that fall into the grey area, that at one point may look white and then years later, pitch black. This requires a very deliberate prose, a deep understanding of narrative tension and skilled working knowledge of human behavior. Even more impressive is that Karen Emmerich's translation let's all of Sortiropoulos' style and depth showcase itself in a sparse fluidity. The best way to understand what Sortiropoulos has to offer is to read this excerpt from "Christmas with Leo," which is an woman addressing her dog after she tells him a story, but somehow it feels as if she is addressing the reader:
He isn't satisfied with the denouement. He wants something more, I know. A happy ending or some big drama. But there's nothing I can do. That something doesn't exist. And I don't want to lie to him. For a while we eye one another, tense as a dog and cat. Then he lays his head on my shoulder and sighs deeply. We sit there side by side, motionless, watching the lights on the tree.
And that's how we feel as we read engaging story after engaging story, we come to terms with what she gives us, with what life gives us. Big things happen, but it's in the moments, hours, days, and years later that we parse it out emotionally. She lets us see those moments when we know something is about to happen and illuminates in them the fear of the inevitable. All of this is done with an agile poetic hand that turns away from the lyrical but hits head on the dense and minimal, as shown in the story "The Woman" where she describes a couple making love upstairs, "their headboard hitting the wall rhythmically, monotonously. Tock, tock. An epilectic's morse." Details like that rise out of the narrative with a subtle and thunderous boom and it's difficult to escape the oppressive quality of these stories.
Finding a convenient way out of her stories is difficult and that makes her challenging and simultaneously satisfying. Sotiropoulos gives us no directives. She leads us down a path but we never end up where we think we are going. The reader is expecting doom and is on edge waiting for it, like in "An Almost Guinea Fowl," where a couple, Maro and Telis, invite over another couple to enjoy the guinea fowl that they bought which turns out to not to be guinea fowl, but some cheaper substitute. As the evening progresses, Telis threatens to tell the guests while they are in the nursery, tending to their crying infant:
"Tell them," he said listlessly. "Tell them, if it'll make you feel better."
Maro started to cry, little sobs that kept getting louder. Her tears fell on the baby, who woke up and wriggled around in the crib. She picked him up and pressed his forehead to her wet cheeks. He was warm and very soft, almost spineless, and every so often his little body would give an irritated jerk as if shot through by an electric current. Suddenly he let out a loud shriek and hit her face with his head.
"I'm going back," Telis said.
She stood there in the half darkness, with her back against the door and the baby in her arms. They were both crying, pressed up against each other, and the sound of their breathing, fitful and erratic, pierced the milky light of the room.
Scenes like this pull us along in search of a resolution. The couple in trouble, the dysfunctional mother and son, the depressed writer become fertile emotional landscapes that Sotiropoulos mines for fissures that happen long before the final break happens. It's her acuity of the small breaks in relationships that drive this collection and make it fraught with an anxiety that is enervating and invigorating. Landscape with Dog and Other Stories lets us see what a consummate writer she is who has the power to capture the tiny moments of discomfort and doesn't dare to give us answers, but to let us find our own way.
