So you would just wish something bad on someone else just to spare yourself? That is rather selfish of you. And in case you didn't know, that storm couldn't care less about what you think, that is if it could even understand what you are saying. »

Walrus & Carpenter Updates Lewis Carroll's Classic 'Alice In Wonderland' Story With Beautifully Realized, Digitally Animated 'Alicewinks' Multimedia App
"The production and development of Alicewinks has been something like a trip to Wonderland in itself," says David Neal, President of Walrus & Carpenter and producer/director of the video. "We knew when we started that the portrait orientation was unusual, but we didn't realize how difficult this would make the distribution." The video was originally developed in 720P HD video. "We tried using that with tablet movie viewers, but you had to lock the tablet before rotating it, and it was confusing." In the end the video was rotated 90 degrees internally, making a 720Hx1280V video file. This format has caused some difficulty, and will not play on all versions of Windows Media Player, for example. "It also has encouraged us to go the app route, rather than just distributing Alicewinks as straight video."

2. Zinc is another popular home remedy for pimple. A couple of research studies have found that zinc is somewhat effective.
3. Garlic juice is an effective way as a natural pimple treatment because garlic is a natural antibacterial agent. It contains sulfur which is nature's antibiotic.

The Microsoft Store's official Twitter account is inviting folks to try Kinect at its stores "nationwide," which sounds a lot more impressive before the realization hits that there are only four locations in the entire country. The MS Twitter account also notes that Kinectimals will be shown off this weekend.
Anyway, if you live near one of the four stores found in the western part of the continent, go check out the new tech that'll be available this November. If you don't live close to a store, save that gas money until we get an idea of how much Kinect will actually cost.

The first crowdsourced book about Iraq and Afghanistan - Veterans describe their experiences in just six words. Read more
The first crowdsourced book about Iraq and Afghanistan - Veterans describe their experiences in just six words.
About this project
Six Word War - A New Kind of War Memoir
Instead of a book about Iraq or Afghanistan that tells one soldier's perspective, Six Word War is the first 'crowdsourced' war memoir that will tell a story different than any other ever told about war. For the first time in history, one book will contain the collective experience of our military at war in their own words.
Any veteran is invited to share their experience in Iraq or Afghanistan, but with one catch: their story can only be six words. We've been collecting them among our friends at www.sixwordwar.com and now we want to introduce this project to the country and put these stories into a book.
So what kind of stories will you find in Six Word War? You'll find that a lot can be told in just six words. Here are just a few that we've collected so far:
Deployed three years, but for what?
Boredom, Boredom, Sheer Terror, Boredom, Boredom.
Where did I leave my pants?
Tried my best. We all did.
Hurry up and wait and wait.
Hearts and minds were only targets.
Sometimes veterans have funny stories to tell and sometimes they're tragic. Not every story on its own could justify an entire book, but that's what we think is incredible about this project. Because collectively, the hundreds, hopefully thousands, of stories that we're gathering tell the real story of Iraq and Afghanistan - a story that couldn't possibly be told by one person.
Six Words? Why does this sound familiar?
We didn't come up with the idea of six word stories - supposedly the great writer Ernest Hemingway once won a bet that challenged him to write a short story in just six words. His response: "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn."
So perhaps Hemingway would have loved Twitter and the recent desire to shorten and 'package' every thought into its smallest form. Despite your own personal feelings on 140 characters or less, a story can have even more meaning if the reader is left to imagine the rest. Taking a cue from Hemingway, the fine folks at SMITH Magazine (http://www.smithmag.net/) began collecting six word stories and publishing a variety of books about love, life, and everything else.
Now, for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan - it's time to get your story told - as big or small as you want (as long as it's just six words).
Who's behind Six Word War?
This project is being run by Shaun Wheelwright and Mike Nemeth, both US Army veterans. Mike and Shaun met as West Point classmates at the United States Military Academy. Shaun went on to deploy to Iraq from 2007-2009 with the 1-27 Infantry, 25th ID. Mike was injured prior to a deployment and left the Army as a 2nd Lieutenant.
From his home in Arizona, Shaun began collecting six word stories about Iraq and Afghanistan from his friends and saw the power and diversity of his fellow soldier's words. Shaun called his friend Mike in Columbus, Ohio to brainstorm about what he could turn this project into. Mike has been an author for the past three years and has two successful Kickstarter projects under his belt. At West Point, Mike wrote a popular series of weekly satire articles (before blogs) and created videos (before YouTube). Now he has a line of satire children's books at www.babydaddybooks.com
How can you help?
We just opened up Six Word War to the public, so if you can share the site with any veterans you know, that'd be incredible! We publish ALL submissions because collectively they tell the whole story of Iraq and Afghanistan. And of course, check us out on Facebook and Twitter
Do you have any media connections? We'd love for this story to get some coverage because we think it's a project that needs to reach more veterans than just those aware of Kickstarter, etc... If you do, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Biggest way you can help? Back us!
Every little bit can help, so even if you're just pre-ordering a copy of the book, that's a big help for us. If you're thinking, "I'd totally get a copy of this book, but I'll just wait until it's up on Amazon." please order it now - you'll get a signed copy, something you won't find on Amazon.
If you're not a veteran, we still would love your help - there are plenty of options if you'd like to get this book for yourself or as a gift.
There are a ton of other options to support this project, including prints of the original artwork from fellow veteran and photographer Justin Quisenberry, who took this photo during one of his 437 deployments to Afghanistan. It's one of my favorite deployment pictures I've seen - very understated and perfect for your home or office.
We needed each other to survive.
Candy and Soccer Balls. Occasionally Bullets.
Go up and down that road.
Sometimes, I wish I was back.
Let's get these stories and others published in the most important war memoir project for Iraq and Afghanistan. We're ready to make this book a reality and can't wait to see it happen.
- Mike Nemeth & Shaun Wheelwright
Risks and challenges
As with any publication project, we could encounter delays in printing. We're working with a great US company, Mascot Books, to handle our printing and I've used them for 4 other book projects so far. Our hardcover printing costs would be covered if we successfully reach our goal.
If printing delays do occur, we'll communicate with our backers on the revised delivery dates. You'll still receive your book well ahead of the publicly available copies on Amazon and in bookstores.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Winnipeg teen's weeks-long trek ends in Ottawa
Calvin Nepinak has expensive proof his 13-year-old daughter was on a lengthy trip this spring: His Rogers cell phone bill was $1,970, the result of numerous father-daughter calls as the youngster walked from Winnipeg to Ottawa.
"It was worth the money," Nepinak said Monday. "She's my little girl. She out there walking across the country. Of course I wanted to talk to her."
Alyssa Nepinak, a Grade 7 student at A.E. Wright school, left Winnipeg on March 28, part of an environmental group supporting the aims of the Idle No More movement. She was among the youngest of the Youth4Lakes walkers.
Yesterday afternoon, she stood on the steps of the Parliament buildings in Ottawa.
"I'm excited, I guess," she said. "Nervous. I can't believe we're here."
The walk changed her, she said. "It meant a lot," she said. "I feel more into my culture because of all the elders we met along the way."
Walkers face racial slurs
The 2,000-kilometre walk was dedicated to raising awareness of the need to protect lakes and rivers and preserve indigenous and treaty rights of First Nations, according to the group's Facebook page.
When the group left town in March, the walkers faced racial taunts and slurs along the way.
"They wouldn't serve us in a restaurant," the young teen said at the time in a telephone interview from Kenora. "A guy said some things at a gas station."
Those things, said Calvin Nepinak, included a man rolling down his window and shouting at his then-12-year-old daughter.
"He said, 'Get an effing job, you effing Indian,'" Nepinak said. "Why would he say that to a kid?"
But Nepinak said the walk and the lessons his young daughter learned were worth the exhaustion and the worn pairs of shoes. There were support vehicles with the walkers, he said, but they were expected to put boots to pavement the whole way.
"It's been good," said the proud father. "She's kind of sad because it's all over. She got close to all these people. But I told her it's not the end. I told her it's just the beginning."
He said there were plenty of times when he wanted to pull his young daughter from the epic walk.
"I didn't want to break her heart. I knew if I brought her home she'd never forgive me. But I was lonesome. She was 12 when she left. I wanted her with me."
'Young people need a voice'
Alyssa gave a careful, impassioned speech on the grounds of the Parliament buildings.
"Our leaders both in government and in our own communities are not on the same page," said the girl, wearing toque designed to look like a panda's head. "The young people need a voice."
Calvin Nepinak said the lessons his child learned go beyond the environmental or the political.
"She learned how to be humble. It gave her some motivation. It sure gives different meaning to going for a walk."
He laughs.
"This has actually opened a lot of doors for her. She met a lot of people. She heard different ideas. This is just the beginning for her."
One of the unexpected bonuses, says the proud father, is that a Facebook video of Alyssa singing has attracted national attention.
"Some people from Toronto saw her sing The Cup Song (a popular ditty on YouTube) and they visited her on the road. They want to fly her to Toronto to perform after she gets back to Winnipeg."
The teen will arrive home Friday, travelling by train from Ottawa. Her father won't be at Union Station to greet her.
"I've got to go up north for work," he laughed. "Those roaming charges were crazy. I've got a cell phone bill to pay off!"

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - The funerals for the victims of a Connecticut elementary school shooting are wrapping up after a wrenching week of farewells in Newtown, Conn.
Services are scheduled Saturday in Connecticut for 7-year-old Josephine Gay and 6-year-old Ana Marquez-Greene. A service is also planned in Utah for 6-year-old Emilie Parker.
Twenty children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. The lone gunman also killed his mother before going on the rampage and then committing suicide.
A spokeswoman for the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association says the last funerals it knows of are taking place on Saturday, although some of the burials are private.

Magnetic Head
updated Aug 2, 2008 2:49 pm | 1,407 views
Although it is a good idea to follow some sort of a head-cleaning schedule, there are other things that get dirty and should be cleaned, like--under the raised floor, the floor surface, the tape drives, the air conditioning/heat vents and filters, and of course the magnetic tape. On Imation's web site under "Enterprise Storage Insights", the topic is media life time and factors that determine the number of years--(Durability + Circumstances + Magnetics + Technology). Examples are cited based on writing ten (10) gigabytes to a cartridge every week.
Under "Circumstances", it says: "When managing your tape storage operations, it is important to also manage the circumstances in which the tape cartridges live. Physical care and handling can impact the useful life of tape--avoid cartridge drops. Environmental factors such as airborne debris, temperature and humidity can reduce useful life or impact performance. Lastly, your hardware should be well maintained and cleaning cartridges should be used in order to maximize tape performance." Difference between a "cleaning cartridge" and "cartridge cleaner".
You are instructed to use "cleaning cartridges" in order to maximize tape performance. However, cleaning magnetic heads should not be to the exclusion of the magnetic tape. Both need to be cleaned. It is not the tape, the drive or the operating system but rather the physical and environmental stress that inhibits the tape from properly functioning. What does physical care and handling of magnetic tape mean? You can go to just about any web site dealing with magnetic tape (Quantum and Fuji to name a couple) and they discuss a thing called VMI (Visible Mechanical Inspection). When an operator picks up cartridges, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that they shouldn't drop them. But, other things have to be considered, like:
If you have a cartridge cleaner, you should do the same thing before you clean, re-tension and scan any cartridge. This should be an accepted practice. OOPS! You don't have a cartridge cleaner? Shame on you! Don't you know that you are introducing "Environmental Factors" into your tape drive? (Go back and read "Circumstances" again.) Now that you have re-read "Circumstances", you can understand what happens. What is the recipient of things such as "airborne debris"? You can bet your bottom dollar it's the magnetic tape! The question that still has to be answered is: "how does it get to or on the magnetic head?". The answer: Because the magnetic tape is the host that carries the "airborne debris". What's the next step after magnetic heads are cleaned? Start running the same tapes over the magnetic heads that were just cleaned? So, does it make sense to clean magnetic tape? It would appear so! One pass on a cartridge cleaner can make an "unreadable" cartridge readable! Not so incidentally, clean tapes will prolong the life of magnetic heads! By-the-way, magnetic tape cleaners and testers have been in existence for well over forty (40) years!

Introducing leggings. Step into a world of stunning designs.
The best part about visiting Pennsylvania in May, is that so many flowers and bushes are springing to life! This pink Rhododendrum had yet to fully bloom, but it has now opened up to reveal more of its full beauty. This photograph was taken with a Canon 40D in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

DP lying about money
(46 Posts)This is my first post on here but have read lots of good advice on here and would really appreciate any help.
I have been with DP for three going on four years, we are both young and in our 20's. One major problem throughout our relationship has been his tendency to lie about things. They are mostly trivial things which I do not care for except from the fact that he has lied to me about them.
However the topic he lies about which is important to me is money. Last year I discovered that he had been taking out pay day loans throughout our relationship which I didn't know about, and that he had spent the savings which I had given him for safekeeping. The loans I can understand as he doesn't have the best paying job, but spending my money was unacceptable and I let him know this, even though the money was spent on half of our holiday I believed this was his money.
I thought that this was all behind us until yesterday we booked a summer holiday. I asked him to put aside a little money to help me pay for it. He pays my rent even though he doesn't live with me so if he had said he was unable to I would have totally understood. However he said that was fine and led me to believe he had £300 saved up. We booked our holiday and I asked him to bring the money next weekend so we could pay off the remainder of the holiday. He then told me he did not have the money even though he had said to my face minuets earlier that he did have the money. He knows he has done very wrong by me and this time I am not letting it pass so easy. I know why he lies, it is because I worry a lot especially about money and he always wants to provide for me e.g always treating me and wants me to even transfer the bills to his name even though he struggles enough.
I know I won't leave him over this, but I don't know how to work through an issue such as this and obviously this is something that needs to be worked through.
Why does he pay your rent? Do you work ? Sounds like he's trying to take on too much financially and it's run away with him.
Why does he pay your rent?
If you know he's struggling and has taken out pay day loans , maybe booking a holiday was not the best idea.
What she said ^
He struggles, takes out pay day loans but yet, he pays your rent, treats you and you book holidays?
Stop booking holidays when you can't pay your own rent?
He pays my rent because initially we were going to move out together, however he began to advance at his work and we decided it was best for him to progress there rather than take on a different job where he might no progress as fast.
I'm a student and I do work, I just don't make enough to pay the rent. I have proposed we pay half and half but he said no. He hasn't taken out a pay day loan since last year as we are now more careful with our money.
We both work hard and love going on holiday, it is the only time of year when we can both take some time out together and we look forward to it all year.
I don't understand this bit
the savings which I had given him for safekeeping
Do you live in a place with no banks? Or don't you trust yourself with access to money?
If he doesn't live with you then you should be supporting yourself.
You said in your opening post that he doesn't live with you.
How can he pay all his own rent and most of yours?
Are you outside the UK? And is English not your first language?
I gave him the money for safekeeping because at the time my bank account details had been stolen and my account was under investigation so I panicked and withdrew my money. His house was better than mine as I have untrustworthy members of my family.
He doesn't pay rent, he lives with his parents.
Cancel the holiday. I'm a student. I work. It's just one of those things; you can't afford holidays.
No advice on the lying thing as I've no experience of this but you definitely need to make it clear to DP that from now on you shall not be particularly accepting of "gifts" and such. You're a grown woman and will look after yourself. Perhaps if he does find himself in stronger financial circumstances he can put that money aside and you can both consider a nice holiday in a few years' time when you're working and the pressure is off.
You're never going to see that money again. If you're bank account details have been stolen, you take advice from the police and the bank about how to secure your money. Giving it to someone else for safekeeping is simply unnecessary [and foolish, but mainly just unnecessary].
Whatever else you do, if he can't be trusted with money, you need to separate your finances. Checks with the credit reference agencies would be a good move (Experian, Call Credit and one other I forget the name of) - you want the £2 statutory checks, not anything else they try to sell you. Reasons for this is to check the records are accurate and that he hasn't fraudulently taken out credit in your name.
If you are living separately, only the person living in the accommodation is legally responsible for the bills and it is foolish to give the energy companies another name - they will come after all the names they've got for unpaid bills. In addition, if you're living there, the bills and control over them should be yours, not his - do not transfer anything about your home to him. [It's different if you're actually going to be living together, but whether that's something you want with someone so irresponsible with money is another question.]
I really don't see how giving your money to your boyfriend, who appears to be fucking awful with money, was preferable to creating a new account at another bank and depositing it there
How old actually are you? You seem extremely immature; desperate to play house by joint holidays, finances, one paying the others rent, ect and have got yourself in a massive financial mess in order to keep up this charade.
This is not an issue you can work through; this is a completely dysfunctional situation. He stole from you (yes you stupidly trusted him with it, but he still stole it), constantly lies and relies on payday loans to get through the month. He's a deadbeat. You do need to stand on your own to feet, I work & am a student too, I know it's shit and I would love me and my boyfriend to swan off on a last minute trip to Mexico with July's payslip- but just because the money goes into my account doesn't mean I can afford it.
From your posts, i actually would not be surprised if you were dating my ex. His lies and thieving left me in hundreds of pounds of debt which i have been left to pay off and am still suffering for three years on.
get him to fuck, amd change any passwords, pins etc he has to access your money before he lands you in the shit.
Him paying your rent is ridiculous. It sounds like he feels under a lot of pressure to provide a certain lifestyle. Cancel the holiday you can't afford it, and start taking responsibility for your own bills.
What can possibly be said about this but LTB?
He lies, lies, lies, he spends his money, loaned money and your money. Then lies, lies, lies.
Please don't try to start a family with him. It will only lead to heartache.
Also good point by Runner.
Your bank account details had been stolen you said?
You know you could borrow some camping gear and go camp in the next county. 300 pounds for just one of you sounds like a big holiday.
There are much cheaper options.
OP, I don't think you should let it lie. Even though he has been paying some of your rent/bills, he has squandered the money you gave him for 'safekeeping".
Whether you LTB is up to you, but I wouldn't want to spend my life tied to someone so untrustworthy, who lied and was so irresponsible about money.
You seem quite naive about money - its time to sort out your financial affairs - keep on top of your own bank account and savings and generally wise-up about money. Be in control of your own life - don't let someone else fuck it up.
No wonder the bloke is broke - he's paying your rent! Why on earth would he do that if he doesn't live there?
And would you really empty your bank account and give him all the cash for 'safekeeping?' Get real.
And you can't afford your own rent yet are putting pressure in him to pay for a holiday. Stay at home this year.
We look forward to having some time off together all year too. But if we're struggling financially, we don't have a holiday. Your whole situation seems completely bizarre. Giving money for safekeeping, asking him to bring the money round for the holiday so you can book (I'm imagining him bringing round £300 in cash and then trying to feed it into your computer so you can complete an online booking). Him paying your rent because it's better financially?
Something smells funny here.

iFFY The Bad Man - Ain't No Reason
Artist: iFFY The Bad Man
Producer: Frequency
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 6 votes )
Drive, persistence and an uncompromising will to succeed are all traits that are immensely beneficial, if not absolutely required, for success in the music game. Considering Booth newcomer IFFY the Badman had what it took to grind his way to a major deal, should it come as any surprise that he applies the same singleminded ethos to his love life? Fresh off unleashing his latest EP upon the listening public, the Harlem-repping soul singer rebounds with Ain't No Reason, a brand new jam which finds him pole-vaulting over the thin line separating love from morbid obsession. Over Frequency's production, a vintage soul-meets-modern pop arrangement in the spirit of Cee-Lo's F**k You, IFFY addresses a woman he's had his eye on for some time, asking why she insists on rebuffing his continual advances. On the bridge, however, things take an abrupt turn for the crazy: "All right, OK, I get maybe I'm not the one / Honey you gone make the bad man go get his gun. / You can run, I'll be waiting here for you tomorrow." Though the artist seems more likely to earn himself a restraining order than win over the girl he loves, he can take solace in the fact that he got a damn catchy record out of the ordeal. If you're feeling it, more awaits on Lover by Day, Thief at Night, released to the 'net yesterday for free download.

Other parades are on weekendsSubmitted by Mithrandir (not verified) on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 12:41pm.
This was a completely different situation than a parade that is on the weekend when the most people don't have to go to and from work. Choosing to move this parade to Front Street on a weekday and forcing everyone who lives or works along that route to be locked in their parking lot for 2-3 hours was flat-out stupidity. Yes it was MLK Day, but unless you are a government employee you most likely had to work yesterday. Plain and simple, people have the RIGHT to do their jobs, In the case of WWAY, that means leaving at a moments notice to cover a breaking story. There's no reason WPD could not have let him cross the street when it was clearly safe. The streets are closed during parades to prevent needless traffic on the roads, not to bring a business to a screeching halt when a reasonable accommodation can be made for them. As a taxpaying citizen, Scott has every right to use a public street...especially when he has a job to do. Maybe these "public servants" aka WPD officers should be charged with unduly hindering a lawfully operating business and interfering with Scott's right to make a living doing an honest job. Before you start laughing, these charges would be no less outlandish than the baloney they charged Scott with. »

Kim by Kimberly - 09/16/2011
I cant believe anyone would say such a thing about these girls. I have been a customer since they first opened in 2004 and never have I had any type of bad experience. These ladies treat everyone with respect. I once left my wallet by mistake, and what did the manager do? She called me as soon she saw it and not one single penny was missing. All I have to say is that I love this place and specially the ladies working here.
Karen by Karen - 06/28/2011
I cant believe someone actually gave this place 5 stars, how much did you offer them. Some of the girls here are very rude, and theives I must add, beware of giving your information here, because they will sell it for cash. The manager here is stealing social security #'s and using them for her own benefit, I am a victim! She will lie her teeth off, DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE, ESPECIALLY THE MANAGER.
Debbie by Deb - 06/14/2011
The uneducated manager here is just plain rude, she claims to know it all, and when you give your input she tends to get worked up and start yelling at you. I go there all the time, but after the way Carolina (the manager) spoke to me rudely, because I didnt understand what she said, she had the nerve to start cussing at me for no reason. I dont know whats her problem, but everytime I go in there she has a bad attitude. I will never go to this currency again, you;ve lost my business for now, unless you get a new manager that has some respect. If you dont like working with others get another job.

Sexy girls by Lalo - 09/28/2010
This girls are very kind and helpful. Also I have to mention very sexy. The ppl on top are just hating.
These people are fools and liars by aine - 07/30/2009
They called my parents claiming that I had cashed a bad check at their store. They told my elderly mother that they were sending the cops for me. When I called the manager screamed at me --told me I knew I did it. I have a pretty common first and last name, so I tried to explain that they had the wrong person--I've never even been to a currency exchange--I have a bank for that. Anyway I ended up having to take of work and go down to there seedy little store and show them my ID. I barely got an apology from the unprofessional idiot they claim was the store manager. I don't usually take the side of a criminal--but this time I say to the woman who got one over on them GOOD ON YOU. They deserve to loose money.

"After we gave our recommendations, the great part was that the very next day the CEO was in the boardroom implementing them with his top vice presidents."
"The classroom itself is filled with so much collective brain power . . . it's obvious that I'm caught up in a room full of 124 of the brightest, most curious people from around the world."
"We're very interdisciplinary. Among the faculty in the group are an economist, a political scientist, a sociologist, and an industrial relations specialist. We've always made a big effort to be open to a variety of perspectives, but also to go beyond being open to them, to want to bring them in, because it makes for a richer environment."
"I knew about American business, but not enough about what's really become a global economy. … You can read about it all you want, but there's no substitute for being there and seeing the context and seeing how completely different these [other countries] are."
"These companies are really excited to work with MIT students.They reach out to the community to set up these projects and are great to work with. They give us access to all their resources and are very open to us."
"I love being in a place that is such a nexus of people and ideas — people coming to learn something new and to define themselves. Being a part of that process is a real honor and a real gift."
"At MIT Sloan you have a lot of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship. Especially in a place like Kampala where you have a lot of development, entrepreneurship can be very exciting."
"We are very much an action-learning environment. The way to learn leadership is not only through reading cases, not only through learning theory — in fact we don't want people to regurgitate the theory. We want people to take theory and to live it, use it."
"I came to Sloan because of its high rankings within the sustainability community, specifically the professors. The S-Lab class itself is part of what drew me to Sloan. And the reason I came to business school was to learn the business speak that really is what connects with people."
"I can honestly say that when I was planning on coming to business school I never thought that witnessing the birth of a child would be included in the education. It was definitely an experience."
"One of the reasons I came to Sloan was because I wanted to be at a top MBA institution worldwide. But I also wanted access to working with the latest innovations and the highest technology that was coming out of the MIT labs."
"It was really rewarding that they wanted to know what we thought. We left there being fairly certain that they will do some of the things that we suggested."

New Cullen International Service Highlights The Continuing Challenges To Achieve A Single EU Market For Postal Services
BRUSSELS, February 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Cullen International, the leading provider of regulatory support services, today launched a new monitoring and benchmarking service on European postal market regulation. Coinciding with the target in the EU's Third Postal Directive for full market liberalisation in January 2013, the new service compares the different national postal regulatory frameworks, highlighting the challenges of accomplishing a single market for postal services.
Cullen International's new postal service reveals some marked differences in key areas:
- the universal service obligations imposed on postal providers, showing national differences going beyond the common ground defined by the Third Directive (for example, in terms of scope and frequency of delivery);
- the rules applying to the location and distribution of post offices, which are implemented according to the different national interpretations of citizens' needs;
- the conditions under which postal providers offer competing services, including for example how the VAT exemption for universal service providers is applied.
The new Cullen International service monitors EU developments and benchmarks postal regulation in six major European postal markets ( Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK). The data is provided in clear, easy-to-use reports, allowing postal stakeholders to understand the details of and reasons behind national and EU differences and to compare countries and operators objectively.
"The expansion of our service portfolio to postal was a logical next step for Cullen International. We trust that our evidence-based research and neutral analysis will prove to be as valuable for those responsible for shaping, making or challenging policy decisions in the postal sector, as it has in the telecoms, media, e-commerce and energy sectors for over 25 years", said Philippe Defraigne, Director at Cullen International.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Italian GP: Lotus driver Jerome d'Ambrosio satisfied with first day at Monza
By Edd Straw and Matt Beer | Friday, September 7th 2012, 16:31 GMT |
Lotus stand-in Jerome d'Ambrosio declared himself satisfied with his first day in the cockpit after finishing Friday practice at Monza within 0.6 seconds of team-mate Kimi Raikkonen.
Reserve driver d'Ambrosio is deputising for Romain Grosjean in Italy this weekend due to the Frenchman's one-race ban for causing the dramatic Belgian Grand Prix start accident.
"It's definitely a challenge," said d'Ambrosio when asked by AUTOSPORT how he rated his Friday progress.
"I'd say 'so far, so good'. We made steady progress between FP1 and FP2.
"It's important for me to stay relaxed and do the best that I can. We all know it's not an easy one. But there's no point in focusing on that.
"I'll just stay concentrated, stay focused, stay with the engineers and try to make progress tomorrow."
D'Ambrosio was adamant it would not be helpful to set performance targets for himself this weekend.
"I had a good first day and I'm going to approach the second day in the same way," he said.
"There's no point in me starting to think 'oh I'm going to make it to Q3 or I'm going to do this or I'm going to do that'. It's the best way to lose myself.
"We know the situation, there are lots of things for me to take in and I'll focus on taking things in to be as well prepared as I can be for qualifying.
"Once that is done, we will see what the result is."
Asked if he could feel the difference between the Lotus E20 and the Virgin he raced in 2011, d'Ambrosio replied: "It's a very low downforce track, but I probably still feel as much downforce as I maybe had last year in Monaco..."
