Ingredients & Description
Whey protein spikes amino acid levels in the blood causing a powerful muscle building effect. Micellar Casein produces a prolonged plateau of increased plasma amino acids; consequently, producing the greatest nitrogen retention and utilization. While, egg is a powerful intermediate protein that fills the gap in between fast acting whey and slow released Micellar Casein resulting in a timed release dispersion of amino acids for prolonged lean muscle growth and reductions in body fat. Zero Impact MRP provides a multi-species matrix of proteins designed to release in sustained chronological order to inhibit whole body protein breakdown (anti-catabolism) and prolong protein synthesis or anabolism (muscle building) for seven hours!(1) Zero Impact MRP Under natured Micellar Casein, HGF (High Growth Factor) Whey Protein, Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Egg Albumen, L-Glutamine and Peptide Bonded Glutamine make up the spectrum of synergistic proteins in Zero Impact MRP. Catabolism (muscle breakdown) begins 90 minutes after ingestion of Whey Protein and continues for many hours or until one hour after another meal is consumed.Suggested Use:
For a great tasting biolicous shake combine the contents of one packet with 12-16 ounces of cold water (depending on personal desire for thickness). For added body, blend shake with two or three ice cubes. Use 2-3 servings daily.

Panogear: the comprehensive and versatile motorized headPanogear automates your shootings and allows you to design entirely new photo projects.Discover in here the features provided in the Panogear motorized head and its Papywizard software. Remote controlled, precise and versatile: Panogear will allow you to make automatic shootings and to access to new photographic possibilities. Designed to shoot gigapixel images, Panogear will also allow you to automate the creation of time-lapse, bracketing and all kinds of shootings.
Create gigapixels panoramic viewsCarry out shooting of dozens, hundreds or thousands of photos in a simple and accurate way to create panoramic images of high resolution up to several gigapixels. Once your images are stitched together, you will enjoy an incomparable level of detail for your prints, your website, to capture a piece of art, or simply just for fun. Panotour Pro: our software for creating virtual tours offers the ability to add sounds, videos, text and even 360° integrated virtual tours to your gigapixel panoramas and to publish the entire project on the internet. Creation of time-lapseEasily perform time-lapse in high-resolution panoramic format with the built-in timer of the provided Papywizard software. You can set a delay before your shooting begins, a number of repetitions and even a time interval between each repetition. Perfect exposure with bracketingIf your device supports the bracket mode, the option of multiple triggers of Panogear allows you to program as many triggers as you like at each break to easily create multi-exposure panoramas. Our image-stitching software Autopano Pro and Autopano Giga enables the exposure fusion combining together the bracketed images. Keep the best colors of each exposure to create even more realistic panoramas. With the remote control everything is allowedControl Panogear remotely with the help of the Papywizard application and the provided Bluetooth transmitter/receiver. Practical, the remote control prevents you from disturbing your shootings whenever you want to change a setting. It also offers you new perspectives, such as to make shootings on a telescopic mast. The Bluetooth connection of Panogear has a range up to 100 meters. A wire touch controller is also available. Creation of virtual toursWith Panogear, you can automate all kinds of shots, including in the perspective of producing virtual tours. But beware: this is not the first use of this motorized head and you should take into account some limitations: - The nodal point is not guaranteed for all camera / lens setups. This, however, has little impact on the stitching quality, unless you shoot very close objects; - It is not possible to shoot the nadir (bottom image) and / or the zenith (top image) with some camera / lens setups. There are still big advantages: the ability to create virtual tours of very high resolution thanks to a shooting of several tens or hundreds of images with a long focal length, where a standard configuration (a DSLR + a fisheye lens) would give a quality virtual tour but limited in terms of zoom.
A fast workflow optimized from A to ZSave in advance your hardware profiles and your shooting templates for a high-speed positioning in the field. Thanks to its powerful engine, the Panogear allows a full 360° rotation in 50 seconds. Papywizard, the application which drives the Panogear head, automatically calculates the necessary movements to reach each position and the total number of photos to be taken to cover the specified area. After the shooting, you can retreive the session file for an even faster and more reliable image stitching sparing you many hours to correct any stitching errors. Get started in the twinkling of an eyeInstall your DSLR on the Panogear, connect them together using the incuded trigger cable and start your shooting within couple of minutes. With the simple and intuitive interface of Papywizard, you are able to start with a few clicks. Once your images are retrieved, you can stitch them together with Autopano Pro or Autopano Giga software and add interesting content (audio, video, text, virtual tours...) with Panotour Pro; no programming knowledge is required. Panogear follows you everywhereOnly 2.2 kg (4.8 lbs), 28 cm in height (11 in), 21 cm in width (8.3 in) and 12 cm deep (4.7 in), are the dimensions that make Panogear one of the few, easy to carry motorized heads. Panogear fits into your backpack to accompany you wherever you go.
Definition of the shooting areaThe shooting zone is defined by adjusting the positions of the start and end, by indicating the corners of the panorama, the number of photos or the entire field you want to photograph. Once your shooting zone is defined Papywizard automatically gives you an estimation of the size of your final panorama in pixels. Calculation of movements and photos to be taken is made based on four main parameters which are: minimum overlap rate, device orientation, size, ratio and resolution of your sensor and the focal length. Creating shooting templatesPapywizard includes several default shooting templates for rapid use in the field. For more advanced users (this requires some programming skills), Papywizard allows to create new shooting scenarios in the form of an XML file format and save them. The scenarios describe various shooting positions, the start position of the head and possibly the limits to avoid any collisions. Edit EXIF informationEdit your data by adding your comments or GPS information, and if you like, convert it into a reusable template later (requires programming knowledge). Create hardware profilesWith the autonomous touch-screen option of Panogear, you can save your hardware profiles in custom templates. Once on the ground, you just have to choose a profile in your list and start shooting. Shooting in portrait or landscape modeWith the brackets provided with Panogear, install your device in portrait or landscape mode as desired. Panogear applications are able to consider the orientation of your device. Support for fisheye lensesPanogear applications and our Autopano Pro or Autopano Giga stitching software include full support for fisheye lenses. |
Other features | ^ Top |
The Papywizard shooting window displays in real time the position of Panogear and the status of your shooting. Pause the sequence to adjust your camera or wait for the best time to take a picture, use the step-by-step method, re-shoot a missing picture; nothing is much easier.
Thanks to its sharp one-piece design and powerful engine, Panogear is able to support up to 4 kg of load (9.7 lbs). Its threaded base of 3/8" ensures maximum stability in all situations. For most difficult conditions, setting the time period of stabilization will prevent any possible vibration. Your panoramic views will benefit from an incomparable sharpness.
Behind the apparent simplicity of Panogear hides an innovation that ensures the stitching quality of your panoramic images. Accurate to the quarter degree, Panogear can also automatically save the files describing your shots (XML file). Autopano Pro and Autopano Giga, our image-stitching software includes a specific import module which can read these files for a faster and more reliable stitching. Even areas which are normally difficult to assemble, like for example the sky or the ground are easily stitched: the assembly is therefore guaranteed.

text: The 250 GT was the 17th model in the series to roll off the production line in 1960 and has had just four owners over the past 52 years. US auctioneer Shelby Myers said: "There is nothing that trumps the magnificent style, drivability, and sound of the 250 SWB Berlinetta. "Ultra-exclusive, it is certainly one of the most desirable Ferraris ever produced. Rarely do such important cars come to public market," Myers said.

New Analysis Confirms Albumin Preserves Kidney Function And Improves Survival In Common Abdominal Infection Of Liver Disease
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Treatment with albumin reduces renal impairment and mortality in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), one of the most common bacterial infections in this patient population, according to a new meta-analysis supported by CSL Behring and published today in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association Institute. Albumin, a natural plasma-derived protein that expands blood plasma volume, is widely used in conjunction with large-volume paracentesis to treat tense ascites, with vasoconstrictors for type 1 hepatorenal syndrome and with antibiotics for SBP.
"While current clinical guidelines indicate the benefits of albumin for patients with SBP, questions regarding patient selection and albumin dosing in the management of the condition still linger," said Francesco Salerno, M.D., Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Milan in Italy, and lead author of the meta-analysis. "Based on our quantitative findings and the clear benefits demonstrated, it seems prudent to treat all SBP patients with albumin, regardless of whether they are high-risk or low-risk for poor outcome."
SBP occurs without any obvious source of intra-abdominal infection. Several factors are believed to contribute to SBP including bacterial overgrowth in the intestine, passage of the bacteria across an impaired intestinal barrier into the blood stream and abdominal cavity, and a deficient local immune response to the invasion. Renal impairment, a frequent complication of SBP, is associated with high risk of mortality, which may reach 30% despite prompt treatment.
The meta-analysis, which included results from four randomized controlled trials with 288 total patients, found that SBP patients treated with albumin were less likely to develop renal impairment (8.3 percent in the albumin-treated groups versus 30.6 percent in the control groups). The odds ratios for renal impairment in the four trials were highly consistent, ranging from 0.19 to 0.30. The analysis also found that mortality was decreased with albumin administration (16 percent in the albumin-treated groups versus 35.4 percent in the control groups). Odds ratios for mortality were also similar, ranging from 0.16 to 0.55.

Foam in Hot Tub
Foam in a hot tub can be annoying. What causes this? What can you do to eliminate it?
There are several different factors that can cause foam in hot tubs. Probably one of the biggest causes is soap, lotions, hairspray, oils and dead skin from your body. When entering the hot tub these products wash off and enter the hot tub water causing the foam. One of the best ways to combat this is by showering before you enter the hot tub. These products and by products over time cause a build up of total dissolved solids in the water. This is what causes the foam. Oxidizers like chlorine (dichlor) and non chlorine shock can help get rid of some of these products but eventually the build up is so extreme that the water is permanently cloudy and the only solution is to drain the hot tub and start with fresh fill water.
Filling the hot tub with soft water will also increase the foam activity.. take care to bypass water softeners before filling the tub.
Any time you are losing the battle with foam, its time to drain and refill with fresh water.

Product Quality 'vs' Service Quality
Product Quality
The quality of a product means how good is it. Product quality is a measure of how well a delivered product meets the customer expectation. This depends upon various factors which are not the same for all products.
Service Quality
The Service quality involves a comparison of expectations with performance. Service quality is a measure of how well a delivered service matches the customer expectations.
Product quality is usually termed for manufacturing organization and service quality is usually termed for service organization. Quality in manufacturing organizations is often different from that of service organizations. Manufacturing organizations produce a tangible product that can be seen, touched, and directly measured. Therefore, quality definitions in manufacturing usually focus on tangible product features. The most common quality definition in manufacturing is conformance, which is the degree to which a product characteristic meets preset standards or specification. Other common definitions of quality in manufacturing include performance.
In contrast to manufacturing, service organizations produce a product that is intangible. Usually, the complete product cannot be seen or touched. Rather, it is experienced. The intangible nature of the product makes defining quality difficult. Also, since a service is experienced, perceptions can be highly subjective. In addition to tangible factors, quality of services is often defined by perceptual factors. Other definitions of quality in services include time, the amount of time a customer has to wait for the service; and consistency, the degree to which the service is the same each time. For these reasons, defining quality in services can be especially challenging.
Whatever is the industry manufacturing or service, product quality and service quality is interlinked, It has seen that companies rated highly by their customers in terms of service can charge higher than rated poorly. People will go out of their way and pay more for good service. Most of the complaints registered are because of the quality service but not of the quality product. Improving quality in service is a key to competitive success in any business. No doubt quality of product has impact on the business but without quality service, product quality has little impact on business now a day.

Editorial: Not in praise of Billy Keyserling
Not in praise of Billy Keyserling
As polite in an easy Southern way as it might be to praise Billy Keyserling, the current mayor of Beaufort, for his about-face on the waterfront parking lot issue, the community must remember:
- Billy is the man who set in motion the process that resulted in the city's hiring the Lawrence planning group to overturn the decades of comprehensive planning that had been supported by Beaufort's citizens to preserve the open space and views of the downtown waterfront area.
- Billy is the man who led city council to authorize $1,964,728 in public funds that have already been paid to Lawrence Group to hold a series of charettes designed to listen to the community, then to draft a plan that totally ignored the community's natural environment, history, culture and desires. That plan resulted in a Redevelopment Commission, an Office of Civic Investment, a Civic Master Plan and, we fear, a Form-Based Code whose names are as deceptive, and whose aims and activities are as destructive, as anything George Orwell ever imagined.
- Billy is the man who has tolerated a budgeting and spending process in the city government that obscures the facts and gives almost free rein to the city manager, Scott Dadson, to spend money as he wants and to withhold public information behind the city attorney, Bill Harvey. Dadson has approved the payments of $1,964,728 to his buddies at Lawrence Group that cannot be traced by any easy method, as proven at the most recent budget planning session this past Tuesday and by Harvey's opaque response to a request made to Dadson for detailed spending information.
- Billy is the man who has led our city into a budget deficit that Dadson is now recommending to be covered by increasing property taxes, a deficit created by more than $1.9 million in payments to the discredited Lawrence Group and another $1.8 million spent recently to purchase an industrial park that has not succeeded in 65 years to attract industry to Beaufort.
- Billy is the man who now says in his quiet voice that "I am convinced that the renderings in the Civic Plan run contrary to what the public wants" and that "My only regret is that we failed to engage people's concerns over the past two years."
Is that really Billy's only regret? That should not be. He should regret his lack of judgment, his lack of foresight, his lack of toughness to resist the ego call to leave our community a monument to his mayoral tenure so base as destruction of our waterfront parkland.
Billy Keyserling needs to sit down in all humility and work with the citizens to dig us out of this planning, budgeting, spending, information withholding and management mess.

Public Transport Strike on Thursday
by Sam BeckwithA 24-hour public transport strike, from midnight to midnight on Thursday, June 16, is set to cause major disruption in Prague.
Tram, bus, metro and train services will all be severely affected, if not entirely halted, although privately owned bus services in and out of the city are not expected to join the strike. All six ferry services across the Vltava will be operating as normal.
Union members are reportedly planning to block certain streets in Prague, although the exact locations have not yet been announced.
The Prague metro will operate normally on Wednesday night, with the last trains leaving end stations at midnight as usual, but will remain closed all day Thursday.
The unions are protesting a package of government austerity measures that includes reforms to pensions, healthcare and the tax system.
The strike was originally called for Monday but was postponed until Thursday when a court ruled that the unions had failed to give the three days' notice required under Czech law.
Talking last week, Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda advised anyone who could avoid the city to do so on the day of the strike.
This information was correct as of 12 noon on Tuesday, June 14 but is subject to change.
For the latest information on the public transport situation, see the Czech-language DPP and Ropid websites.

Attached below is a fall sports schedule for New Knoxville High School.
(Edited to include the cross country schedule at 10:45 a.m.)
DAYTON — The Dayton Docs scored three runs in the sixth inning to pull ahead for good in an 8-5 win over the Grand Lake Mariners on Wednesday night to extend the Mariners' losing streak to three games.
The Docs put up the three-spot after the Mariners scored two runs in the fifth inning to tie the game, 4-4.
A Brian Bien RBI groundout and Brady Stewart's two-run single off Mariner reliever Will Schierholz put the Docs up 7-4.
St. Marys' 2012 fall sports schedules are attached below.
Drew Jacobs became the 46th St. Marys National Little League player to win the Galen Cisco Award, which is given out by Cisco and the St. Marys Rotary Club.
Jacobs was given a plaque by former major league pitcher and pitching coach Galen Cisco in a ceremony at K.C. Geiger Park.
The award has been presented by the St. Marys Rotary Club since 1965 in honor of Cisco, a Memorial High School grad, an Ohio State football captain and major league pitcher who won an college football national championship and a World Series in his career.

CELINA — The Lexington Hustlers grabbed a lead with five runs in the top of the fifth inning on Saturday.
Grand Lake fought back with four runs of its own, including a game-winning home run.
Michael Timm's two-run homer proved to be the difference as the Mariners ended a three-game losing streak with a 7-5 seven-inning victory over the Hustlers at Jim Hoess Field.
MINSTER — Jay Eilerman and the Minster ACME baseball team did almost everything needed to move on in the district tournament in just the first inning.
Eilerman threw a no-hop strike from centerfield 275 feet away to a spot near the plate to gun down a Fort Loramie baserunner, and he then doubled and tripled in the first inning to spearhead a seven-run top of the first for Minster.
The Wildcats' pitching took it from there in Minster's 7-3 win over Fort Loramie on Thursday night at Hanover Street Park.
50 Years Ago This Week – 1962
MIDWAY, Utah — Michael Schmitmeyer shot a four-over par in the second round of the United States Golf Association's Public Links Championship on Tuesday at Soldier Hollow Golf Course.
Schmitmeyer, a St. Marys Memorial and University of Findlay grad, finished tied for 77th. His six-over part two-day total was two shots off the pace needed to qualify for the match play portion of the event.

Interactive | Liberals outgun Labor in social media
PUBLISHED: 28 May 2013 00:29:46 | UPDATED: 28 May 2013 10:23:35PUBLISHED: 27 May 2013 PRINT EDITION: 28 May 2013The Liberal's digital campaign – on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and email – is kicking goals. Photo: Matt Davidson
Edmund Tadros Graphic by Les Hewitt
The Liberal Party has picked up its game significantly in the battle for campaign social media supremacy, surpassing Labor's efforts in key areas, ongoing research by The Australian Financial Review has shown.
The Liberal Party now has the most popular Facebook page of any Australian political party after decisively pulling ahead of Labor and the Greens in the past month.
The Liberal's digital campaign is also kicking goals on other social media channels.
A YouTube clip mocking the Labor leadership went viral, and the Liberal party's email campaign is showing itself to be more timely and frequent than its rival Labor operation.
The Financial Review's analysis shows the tone of the Liberal social media campaign remains aggressive, with an emphasis on accusations about Labor's reliance on debt and general "chaos". Labor's messages are more likely to emphasise the hope of its DisabilityCare and education reforms.
However Labor is not immune to negative campaigning, with a scare campaign of its own, aimed at painting a murky picture of "Life in Abbott's Australia".
Facebook most influential platform
Lots of attention in political circles focuses on the Twitter activities of Australia's politicians, but it is Facebook, with its reach of 12 million Australian users, that has the most influence of all the social media platforms.
This is followed in importance for electronic campaigning by email as a medium of choice for political parties wanting to reach voters and bypass traditional media in the lead-up to the September 14 federal election. Labor still remains ahead on Twitter, but the micro-blogging site is mainly influential for politicians and the parties keen to influence media coverage and talk to the politically engaged.
The Twitter account of Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been noticeably active in the past six weeks, sending out about 250 tweets. This comes in at seventh in terms of tweeting frequency, behind long-time prolific tweeters such as Kevin Rudd and Craig Emerson.
The Liberal Facebook page became No. 1 after increasing its Facebook follower count by more than 15,000 in the six weeks since mid-April, when Labor was slightly ahead.
By Sunday, the Liberal Facebook page had almost 53,500 "likes" versus Labor's 44,800.
Liberal Party federal director Brian Loughnane said: "We have reached this point by continually providing engaging content that the community can comment on and share with their friends."
The Greens, who began the year with about 44,400 "likes", have managed to grow this to only about 48,600 in the same time, but remain ahead of Labor.
Labor National Secretary George Wright said the party used paid Facebook ads "from time to time" to "let people know the Labor Party Facebook page exists".
Liberal YouTube video goes viral
Separately, the Financial Review has seen a paid ad promoting content for the Liberal Facebook page, but the party did not comment when asked about the practice.
A Liberal YouTube cartoon clip mocking the various political scandals and problems of Labor, The Headless Chooks in 'The Gillard Experiment', proved itself a viral hit.
"The Headless Chooks video on Liberal Party TV is the most viewed social media political advert by an Australian political party, with more than 400,000 views," Mr Loughnane said. The clip has divided opinion as shown by two of the highest-rated comments.
"So, this is the intellectual level of the Liberal party; I understand better now," wrote tmblefebvre. In contrast, BriahRainbows commented "Lmao (Laughing my arse off) this made my day."
Mr Loughnane defended the tone of the ad, saying it had "resonated with the Australian community because it clearly depicted the barnyard antics that Australians see every day from Labor."
The major parties have sent out about 50 emails to their general supporters since the election was announced.
The Liberals have sent out 29 of the emails, with 10 being about the federal budget, and five about Labor leadership problems.
Labor, meanwhile, has sent out just two emails specifically about the budget, and one about the party's leadership. Labor has sent out 20 emails, with five about the government's education reforms.
The Liberals have not sent out any emails about education.
Knowing audience the key to success
The differing emphasis of each email campaign highlights in a broad way the areas where each party believes it is strongest and the opposition the weakest.
Mr Loughnane said the Liberal Party had experienced "extremely strong growth in our email subscriptions, particularly in the lead-up to and following the recent federal budget".
Labor National Secretary George Wright said the party's focus on education spoke directly to the concerns of supporters.
"Education is a critical issue this year, with Tony Abbott having declared he will not support an increase in schools funding," Mr Wright said.
"Our supporters are vital in raising community awareness about what's at stake and they're responding by sharing information, making donations and signing up to volunteer."
Social media strategist Kristen Boschma of The Social Hatch said a focus on what the audience wants is the key to success online.
"Fundamentally, if you see any social media platform working well for a brand or political party, you can have a pretty strong bet they've done a lot of analysis on their audience and their hot button issues," Ms Boschma said.
"You really want the audience to share the material and you want social media advocates: people who will promote your brand to a wider audience."

Even Fuller's argument that bad news is flatly more interesting than good is less than scintillating. The brain, after all, is built to be seized by bad news. Here neuroscience intersects with sociology. Put bad news together with flashy news and celebrity news and you get the high-res, tabloid, rant stew that is rapidly rendering obsolete the quiet, balanced, fact-based, Cronkited news we used to know and love. Goodbye, al-Qaeda, fiscal meltdown, and Afghan war; hello, Tiger Woods.
No, the big story that Fuller brings is the claim that the neuroscientific facts have a great deal to do with the news industry facts. "The brains we use to deal with today's message-saturated information environment are pretty much the same brains that our African ancestors used to outwit the big cats," he writes. "Is it any wonder that we have lately been behaving kind of strangely toward the news?"
But it is precisely this claim—disguised as it is by a rhetorical question—that runs athwart a fundamental problem. The neurons have persisted essentially unchanged across hundreds of millennia. How, then, do enduring features of the human animal help explain a feature of social life that has cropped up over the last decade or so? This is like asking how the fact that the earth revolves around the sun helps explains why there is no peace in the Middle East. In a certain formal sense, of course, it does help—it's a precondition. If there were no solar system, there'd be no human race to populate a Middle East in the first place. But how far does that take us, really, toward understanding?
Neuroscience is sexy stuff nowadays, partly for a reason that Fuller well comprehends. It doesn't just talk about the brain, it shows it. Wow, does it ever. All those visuals, those captivating full-color brain scans displaying those bright patches! But again, we're looking at essentially the same brain that paid attention to inflammatory, ad hominem news in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, "objective" news in the middle of the twentieth century, and now, Rush Limbaugh and Fox.
So Fuller exaggerates the transhistorical background in attempting to explain what is going wrong in the connection between news and its customers. But his version of journalism history doesn't tell us much about current trends either. "At the same time that the increasing demands on our old brains make us more vulnerable to emotional presentation," he writes, "the increasing competition among media leads them to ratchet up the emotion." Surely they were ratcheting up emotion in 1828, when party-based papers exchanged charges of pimping and bigamy during the presidential campaign pitting John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson; and in 1836, when James Gordon Bennett splashed the prostitute Helen Fuller's murder across the front page of the New York Herald; and in the late nineteenth century, when Joseph Pulitzer's New York World was winning readers with slum exposés; and for that matter, during the many decades when the New York Daily News was outselling The New York Times—during most of their overlapping history, in fact.
Fuller concludes with some sensible advice to journalists. Holding fast to independence, verification, and respect, he writes, "they must let loose of… neutrality, disinterestedness, and distrust of emotion." Only thus will they appeal to the relatively ill-informed and inattentive readers who make up, in fact, the bulk of the population. Fair enough. But he didn't need neuroscience to tell him that.

Under Graduate ( 4 Years)
Undergraduate Programme:
The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Trivandrum offers three under graduate programmes leading to 4-year B.Tech. degree in (a) Avionics, (b) Aerospace Engineering, and (c) Physical sciences. The syllabus for each course consists of basic sciences, mathematics, humanities, basic engineering, core engineering subjects, stream electives and institute electives. The curricula for the above programme are being totally restructured suiting the requirement of Indian Space Programme while keeping the general requirement of science and engineering in tact with more focus on space science and technology. In addition, the curricula followed in IITs and other similar institutions in India and abroad have been widely utilized in framing the syllabus. The innovative feature in all three streams is that the students will have an opportunity to learn in depth in specific areas needed for ISRO programmes. For example Avionics students can opt for electives in the areas of (a) Control system, (b) Computer, (c) Digital electronics, and (d) Communications so that they can acquire in-depth knowledge in the specific relevant area. Similarly, Aerospace Engineering students can opt for specialization in (a) Manufacturing, (b) Aeronautics, (c) structural design and analysis, and (d)Thermal and propulsion areas. On the same line the Physical Science students can undertake focused study in (a) Earth and Space systems, (b) Astrophysics & Planetary Science, (c) Remote Sensing, and (d) Chemical System. The Institute has adopted credit system and the total number of grades for B.Tech. course is around 162 credits. This is in line with the latest recommendation of UGC and MHRD.
Study of Minors:
The Institute has initiated a special learning process wherein students with excellent academic records can opt additional studies as Minors in select areas in engineering/science. A set of three subjects forms the Minors and can be pursued during 5th and 6th and 7th semesters and each of the subjects will have practical studies followed by technical seminar. The study of minors will provide additional knowledge and skill in certain specialized area to students. At present, the Institute offers Minor courses in the areas of soft computing, dynamic systems, robotics, astronomy, navigation, guidance and control, nano science and a few other specialized areas.
Laboratories and Practical Classes:
In addition to the regular practical classes for science and engineering students, IIST has introduced experiments with the support of ISRO centres and Units carved out of the real life experiments related to space programmes with strong linkages with curriculum. This would give good exposure to students to understand the practical and the engineering aspects of the studies well. To start with the four experiments have been designed in all disciplines and each batch of students will carry out two sets of experiments. It is proposed to increase the special practical classes in IIST laboratories in consultation with all ISRO establishments.
Students are encouraged to undertake internship during their winter and summer vacations and majority of the students have opted for this internship on voluntary basis. The internship is arranged at different ISRO Centres for a period of 4 weeks with clear definition of project in the area of their interest. At the end of the internship, students will prepare technical report of completion at the end of the internship. This has helped the students to get exposure to various technologies in the space related systems.
Student Projects:
A lot of encouragement is given to the students to start on a voluntary basis student projects in small groups and full support including technical guidance is given by the Institute in realizing these projects. As on today quite a good number of students projects are progressing in the area of Robotics, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, advanced solar cell, autonomous fire fighter, etc. The Institute has also started a small Rocket and Micro Satellite Project. With the identification of various sub systems and a good number of students have been selected to work in these projects. Support from both Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, a lead Centre for Launch Vehicles and ISRO Satellite Centre, a lead Centre for Satellite, is being drawn. The students are encouraged to come up with their innovative design under guidance of ISRO experts.
The curriculum for the above streams has been carefully structured keeping the generic requirement of Science and Engineering intact with more focus to space science and technology to meet the high technology requirements of ISRO. In addition, the curriculum taught in IITs and other premier institutions in India and abroad in the areas of Electronics & Communication, Mechanical and Aerospace engineering and Physical Sciences have been widely utilized in framing the syllabus.

Family of William Kirby & Elizabeth Wolfenden (Canada)Updated October 25, 2000 |
I am compiling information on the family of Nathaniel Kirby ( baptised 28 November 1742 June 1794, in Leppington, York, England) & his wife, Mary Seller (married 4 February 1769, at Kirby Underdale, York, England) and their decendants. While I have quite history on the decendants located in Ontario, Canada I still require contacts with decendants located in England and other parts of the world. |

Solid Results for America's Largest Shopping Center Landlord
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As a leading landlord of shopping centers in the U.S., Kimco Realty (KIM - Get Report) has emerged from the Great Recession with an enviable tenant list featuring many higher quality and better credit tenants. The company's monstrous portfolio of 896 properties across 44 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, and South America, has recovered a significant amount of lost occupancy, especially in the big- and mid-box categories.
Accordingly, Kimco has replaced many of their troubled tenants with higher-quality retailers. This diverse portfolio includes many brand names and the highly diversified platform remains the largest landlord of Costco (COST - Get Report), Home Depot (HD - Get Report), TJX (TJX - Get Report), Target (TGT - Get Report), Ross Stores (ROST), Walgreen (WAG) and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), all strong investment grade companies. These tenants have enabled Kimco to draw more shoppers to the properties, improve leasing demand, and position the assets to better withstand another downturn.
Last week, Kimco reported its fourth quarter and year-end 2012 results and the improved performance is indicative of the higher quality income fundamentals. As David Henry, CEO of Kimco, explains:
"Overall, the shopping center industry in our portfolio in particular continues to demonstrate steady and sustained improvement across the board, benefiting from population growth and very little new development. Effective rents and occupancy rates are increasing at an accelerating rate. Our key metrics or vital signs, as we like to say, are very strong with 11 straight quarters of positive same-store NOI growth and an occupancy rate just under 94%, representing our highest level since the start of the recession and very high leasing spreads."Kimco reported Funds from Operations (as adjusted) at 33 cents per share, up 10% from 30 cents per share last year. The full year 2012 Funds from Operations (as adjusted) came to $1.26 per share, reaching the top end of the guidance range. Kimco's occupancy climbed to 94% (on a gross basis) up 30 basis points sequentially. Kimco, with assets of around $9.74 billion has excellent liquidity of around $1.4 billion.
Kimco affirmed its 2013 FFO guidance range of $1.28 to $1.33 adjusted per share with a midpoint of $1.31. At the midpoint range, the Funds from Operations per share growth is a solid 4%.

Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark as you penetrate into the city through
a narrow sandstone gorge, the Siq, and wander among the Temple of the Winged
Lion, tombs, Roman theater, and the imposing Treasury.
Petra has a lot to tell. The visit starts at the visitor's center, where each person is assigned a Bedouin guided horse for the journey to the entrance of the lost city. After passing some tombs which are located outside the city, the visitor passes through the SIQ, an immense crack in the Nubian sandstone. It is a winding, one-kilometer-long fissure between overhanging cliffs that seem to meet more than 300 feet overhead.
Near the end of the passage, the SIQ, with great style, makes one last turn and out of the gloom in towering brightness appears Petra's most impressive monument, el Khazneh - The Treasury. This is one of the most elegant remains of antiquity, carved out of the solid rock from the side of the mountain, is nearly 140 feet high and 90 feet wide.
Beyond el Khazneh the visitor is surrounded on both sides by hundreds of
Petra's carved and built structures, soaring temples, elaborate royal
tombs, a carved Roman theater, large and small houses, burial chambers and
much more. The Victorian traveler and poet, Dean Burgon, gave Petra a description
which holds to this day - "Match me such a marvel save in Eastern
clime, a rose-red city half as old as time." After that, we will return
to the hotel to get prepared for a Moonlight dinner served at a Bedouin
camp. This evening we have a fantastic traditional dinner under the stars
in a Bedouin camp, at a site that dates back more than 2,000 years.

Not included:
Our second visit to the middle east had to be cancelled when the Egyptian revolution in February caused our flight to be cancelled. We rescheduled for November and added six more months to the ten months we'd already waited. Just before we boarded Air France for the flights from San Francisco to Cairo, came the Revolution Part 2. But that wasn't going to stop us. Our month included three stops in Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Jordan as well.
The absolute highlight of the trip was Jordan… we'll have to go back there one day for sure and plan to overnight out on the desert in a tent.
Amman is a beautiful city, but Jerash, Mount Nebo and the King's Highway are not to be missed. The ethereal landscapes of Petra and Wadi Rum far exceed the cinematic splendor we saw originally in Raiders and Lawrence of Arabia. The boulevards of sandy dessert rimmed by sheer lavender, rose, peach and beige limestone cliffs and crags … mint tea with Bedouin tribesman at the edge of a terra cotta sandy dune will live forever in memory. Petra was simply beautiful beyond our greatest expectations … and both the Petra Kitchen dinner and our stay at the incredible Taybet Zaman Hotel with its' breathtaking views over the old Nabatean rose-red city added even more to our memory bank. Thanks for helping us to plan such an incredible adventure.
Chris and Michael

salt (sôlt)
A colorless or white crystalline solid, chiefly sodium chloride, used extensively as a food seasoning and preservative.

salts Any of various mineral salts, such as magnesium sulfate, sodium sulfate, or potassium sodium tartrate, used as laxatives or cathartics.
salts Smelling salts.
salts Epsom salts.
salt [%PREMIUM_LINK%] (sôlt) Pronunciation Key
used to season food (Job 6:6), and mixed with the fodder of cattle (Isa. 30:24, "clean;" in marg. of R.V. "salted"). All meat-offerings were seasoned with salt (Lev. 2:13). To eat salt with one is to partake of his hospitality, to derive subsistence from him; and hence he who did so was bound to look after his host's interests (Ezra 4:14, "We have maintenance from the king's palace;" A.V. marg., "We are salted with the salt of the palace;" R.V., "We eat the salt of the palace"). A "covenant of salt" (Num. 18:19; 2 Chr. 13:5) was a covenant of perpetual obligation. New-born children were rubbed with salt (Ezek. 16:4). Disciples are likened unto salt, with reference to its cleansing and preserving uses (Matt. 5:13). When Abimelech took the city of Shechem, he sowed the place with salt, that it might always remain a barren soil (Judg. 9:45). Sir Lyon Playfair argues, on scientific grounds, that under the generic name of "salt," in certain passages, we are to understand petroleum or its residue asphalt. Thus in Gen. 19:26 he would read "pillar of asphalt;" and in Matt. 5:13, instead of "salt," "petroleum," which loses its essence by exposure, as salt does not, and becomes asphalt, with which pavements were made. The Jebel Usdum, to the south of the Dead Sea, is a mountain of rock salt about 7 miles long and from 2 to 3 miles wide and some hundreds of feet high.
with a grain of salt
Also, with a pinch of salt. Skeptically, with reservations. For example, I always take Sandy's stories about illnesses with a grain of saltshe tends to exaggerate. This expression is a translation of the Latin cum grano salis, which Pliny used in describing Pompey's discovery of an antidote for poison (to be taken with a grain of salt). It was soon adopted by English writers.
