5. The polymeric material according to claim 1, wherein the cellulose material is present in a fiber form.
6. The polymeric material according to claim 2, wherein the cellulose material is present in a fiber form.
7. The polymeric material according to claim 3, wherein the cellulose material is present in a fiber form.
8. The polymeric material according to claim 4, wherein the cellulose material is present in a fiber form.
9. A method for manufacturing the polymeric material of claim 1, comprising the step of homogeneously mixing cellulose material sheathed by melamine-formaldehyde resin together with polyamide or polyolefin at a temperature above 150� C.
10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the melamine-formaldehyde resin is not crosslinked.
The invention relates to a polymer material for manufacturing arcing chambers for low-voltage switchgear, as well as to a method for manufacturing the same.
In low-voltage switchgear, such as low-voltage power circuit-breakers, the switch-off arc is supposed to migrate from the point of origin, i.e., from the separating contacts, quickly into the quenching device, i.e., into the arc splitter plates. The properties of the material of the arc-quenching or arcing chamber have a considerable effect on this arcing movement, particularly in the case of short-circuit breaking. It happens, namely, during arcing movement that gaseous products are released from the chamber material because of the briefly occurring high arc temperature. These gases are needed to quickly extinguish the arc if they have the necessary chemical composition and when they are formed--per switching operation--in a quantity that is suited for avoiding too high a pressure inside the switch.
Under the state of the art, one has generally used molded materials based on cellulose-fiber-filled melamine-formaldehyde resins to fabricate arcing chambers (see, e.g.: Hansj urgen Saechtling "Kunststoff-Taschenbuch" [Plastics Manual], 24th edition, Carl Hanser Publishers, Munich 1989, p. 452). However, these are thermosetting materials, and--due to the long mold occupation time and the required postcure--it is, therefore, complicated and expensive to manufacture the chambers, even though this is done analogously to injection molding.
The object of the invention is to specify a polymer material that will make it possible to substantially shorten the cycle times required in the manufacturing of arcing chambers for low-voltage switchgear.
This is achieved in accordance with the invention by a material having a thermoplastic polymer matrix of polyamide or polyolefin which contains a cellulose material sheathed by cured melamine-formaldehyde resin.
The polymer material according to the invention is a thermoplastic material, i.e., a thermoplastic compound. The advantages of this compound--in comparison to thermosetting compounds--lie in an improved processibility. While, namely, a 75 s cycle must be observed when working with the injection molding of thermosetting material, cycle times as low as 3 s can be attained with the thermoplastic compound according to the invention. It is thus possible, then, to have a substantially more economical manufacturing. Moreover, from an electrical standpoint, the thermoplastic material is at least equal to the thermosetting material; the mechanical properties are even better--due to a greater flexibility.
The chamber material produced from the thermoplastic compound exhibits better arc quenching properties than the material used in known methods heretofore. It is also superior with regard to the switching capacity, since the compressive load is substantially lower (reduction in the maximum pressure by up to 50%).
In the case of the thermoplastic compound according to the invention., the polymer matrix consists of polyamide or polyolefin; preference is given to polyamide. For cellulose material, which is advantageously used in the form of fibers, one can use in particular, pure cellulose, wood dust, paper or rayon staple fiber; cellulose is preferred in this case.
The individual components of the thermoplastic compound are preferably available in the following ratio: polymer, i.e., polyamide or polyolefin, to melamine-formaldehyde resin/cellulose material: 6:1 to 1:1, preferably 2:1; melamine-formaldehyde resin to cellulose material: 3:2 to 1:2, preferably 1:1.
The polymer material is produced in accordance with the invention in that cellulose material sheathed by melamine-formaldehyde resin and polymer are mixed together homogeneously at temperatures above 150� C. The temperature is dependent in this case upon the processing temperature of the polymer used. When working with polyamide, it can lie between about 190� and 300� C.; when working with polyolefin it amounts, for example, to 150� C. (polyethylene) or 200� C. (polypropylene).
In developing the polymer material according to the invention, the problem arose of being able to work in temperature-sensitive materials into the thermoplastic material non-destructively. Namely, it is not possible per se to use cellulose in high-melting thermoplastic systems, temperatures of >150� C. being necessary during intermingling and processing, because of the thermal-oxidative sensitivity of the cellulose.
Now, the invention resolves this problem by sheathing the cellulose material in situ with a protective layer, which--given a higher thermal stress of short duration--prevents oxidation or decomposition. This makes it easily possible to work the cellulose into higher melting thermoplastic materials, such as polyamide.
In manufacturing the polymer material according to the invention, one starts out preferably from uncross-linked melamine-formaldehyde resin; generally, one uses a commercially available, pre-reacted melamine-formaldehyde resin (in short melamine resin) that is filled with cellulose. During the intermingling or mixing operation, the melamine resin molding material is cured in the liquefied polymer material, i.e., a cross-linking takes place which, in this manner, protects the cellulose material from a thermal-oxidative attack. The cellulose-filled melamine resin molded material formed in this case, which is distributed homogeneously ill the polymer matrix, assumes the function of a filler at the same time; this is synonymous with a mechanical reinforcement.
Another important advantage of the invention consists in that there is the possibility of recycling. This applies both for the waste material produced as sprues, for example, when arcing chambers are manufactured using injection molding, as well as for the thermoplastic compound that is injection-molded to form molded articles. Used molded articles can be comminuted, namely, and the material obtained can be used--directly or mixed with fresh material--to injection-mold new arcing chambers. In comparison, the thermosetting material used under the state of the art, itself, cannot undergo a recycling operation, because it is three-dimensionally cross-linked.
The invention will be elucidated in the following on the basis of exemplary embodiments.
PA 6 (polyamide from ε-caprolactam) is mixed in a ratio of 2:1 witch an uncross-linked melamine resin (MF), which is filled with cellulose in a ratio of 1:1. This mixture is introduced at a temperature of 230� to 240� C. into a masticator and masticated for about 10 min. The processing temperature of the PA 6 of about 240� C. causes the uncross-linked thermosetting material, i.e., the MF/cellulose compound to become cross-linked, and the cellulose is sheathed at the same time.
The thermoplastic compound produced in this manner--composition: 66.6% polyamide, 16.7% melamine-formaldehyde resin, 16.7% cellulose--has good arc quenching properties and can be injection-molded perfectly well (cycle time: about 25 s). The cellulose acts in this case both as a water reservoir for the arc quenching, as well as--together With the cross-linked melamine resin--as a filler for reinforcing the polyamide.
One proceeds comparably to Example 1, but an oppositely rotating two-wave extruder is used. The period of dwell (reaction time) amounts in this case merely to 5 to 6 min., so that a continuous process is possible. The thermoplastic compound obtained is completely cured.
One proceeds comparably to Example 1, PA 66 (polyamide from 1.6 hexandiamine and adipic acid) being used as a polymer; the processing temperature amounts to about 275� C. The thermoplastic compound demonstrates a high level of long-term heat resistance.
In a two-wave extruder, PA 66 is melted down directly downstream from the filling zone in counterrotation at a temperature of 275� to 280� C. Immediately after that--in a ratio of 2:1 --a MF/cellulose compound is introduced by means of a dosing device into the liquefied polyamide material. The melamine resin that is immediately cross-linked at the high temperature of about 280� C. thereby sheathes the cellulose and protects it from thermal decomposition. During a speed-dependent period of dwell of 4 to 8 min, one achieves an adequate cross-linkage of the melamine resin and a homogeneous distribution in the polymer matrix. The liquefied material emerging from the nozzle tip of the extruder is drawn off as a strand, cooled and granulated. The thermoplastic compound produced in this manner is homogeneous and can be injection-molded to form perfect molded articles at temperatures of 275� to 280� C.
To process thermosetting waste material on the basis of melamine resin, which is filled with the most widely varying cellulose-containing materials, PA 6 or PA 66 or also another polyamide, such as PA 12 (from ε-lauric lactam) or PA 610 (from 1.6-hexanediamine and sebacic acid), are melted down in a two-wave extruder, which is operated in synchronism or in counterrotation, and mixed by means of a dosing device with the ground waste material in a ratio of 6:1 to 1:1; the particle size of the pulverulent waste material should be <0.1 mm. The thermoplastic compound obtained is granulated and dried using a procedure comparable to Example 4, and can then be directly injection-molded to form arcing chambers.
One can proceed in a corresponding manner With cellulose-containing urea-formaldehyde resins, which are then worked into polyolefin.

Middle East Wars on U.S. Campuses
Not surprisingly, many Jewish students at Irvine are angry. They are not calling for events to be banned, but have asked Irvine's leaders to condemn the language being used as offensive and as a way to hurt Jewish students, not to engage in debate about Israel's policies. Irvine officials are refusing to do so — saying that they can't get into picking which campus events to disagree with or pick sides between the vocal critics and supporters of Israel on the campus.
Irvine in many ways reflects the way debates about diversity and respecting different groups of students are no longer issues of black and white. A majority of undergraduates at Irvine are Asian American — and largely uninvolved in a series of Middle East wars that have taken place at Irvine for years. But campus leaders who have spent their careers focused on how to encourage black and white students to get along (and of course Latino students and at some institutions Native Americans or foreign students) are finding that they may have their biggest challenge with religious differences among groups of American students. (While there are some campuses where strong criticism of Israel comes from students from the Middle East, the students at Irvine and many campuses are American citizens.)

Getting tired of neutral makeup and looking to shake things up with an edgy and vibrant look? Inspired by the 1960s, makeup artist Jamie Greenberg worked with Kaley Cuoco for the Vera Wang store opening on Rodeo Drive to create a bold look. With blue eye makeup, dotted eyeliner, and rich black mascara, this look is one for the books.
Greenberg starts by lining mark's No Place To Run Waterproof Eyeliner in Navy Seal along the top lash line and applying three dots along the lower lash line. On top, Greenberg layers mark's On The Dot Eye Color Compact in Bold (middle blue shade) for a bolder finish. The eyes are completed by filling in the brows with Anastasia Brow Pro Palette and finishing with two coats of Jouer's Everyday Effortless Mascara in Noir.
To add an utterly flawless appearance, Greenberg applies Tom Ford Traceless Foundation all over the face and swirls together mark's Island Beauty Face Compact on the cheeks for a coral, bronzy glow. To complete Kaley Cuoco's look, mark's All Butter Now Lip Treat in Bare All is used to even the look without taking away from the bold eye makeup.

adoptive mother is domineering
My daughter recently had a relationship with a boy who was adopted at the age of about 3. He just turned 16. His mother is so controlling, that he can't go anyplace or do anything. Playing sports is the exception. Everytime they would tak on the phone his mother would come in his room and smart off to him about him talking to my dd. and say things like Make her quit calling you. My daughter got fed up with his mother being so hateful and controlling, and they broke up. She has beenaway for a while now, but still has feeling for him. She called his house the other night, to see if he got the b-day card she sent to him. When his mother found out she had called, she called my dd and told her off, and told her to never call again. The mother acts like a jealous girlfriend. Anyone have any experiences with a problem like this?
This may not be what you want to hear, but I'd tell your daughter stay away from the boy and quit calling him. If the boy is really interested in her, he'll make some of the moves like calling your daughter or doing things outside of sports. For whatever reason, the mom doesn't like your daughter and doesn't want her son involved with her. If you feel the mom's actions are unhealthy and unwarranted (sp?), then that isn't a relationship you would want your daughter to be involved in anyway.
I am in agreement with Adellabadella on this one. Your daughter needs to stop calling the boy, regardless of her feelings for him! If he is really interested in her, and is strong enough to stand up to his mother, then this is a situation where he should put forth "ALL" of the effort to pursue her. Do you really want her to be in a relationship at sixteen? At such a young age, with her tender feelings and self esteem emerging, she would do better with friends and their families who genuinely enjoy her. And it may be a worthwhile lesson for her to learn not to keep calling boys, but to let them pursue her instead.
I agree w/the above poster. I NEVER called a boy, even if we were dating. My father told me that a boy will think you are easy if you call them. It's much better to be pursued than to be the pursuer.
I have a preteen daughter (age 12) and I've given her the same advice. Girls don't call boys. That may sound old fashioned, but it always worked for me!

Content Note: brief description of a suicide attempt This past year, around Easter, I planned on writing some posts about crucifixion and resurrection. I found I couldn't really get past the former. I mean, I'm a skeptic on the idea of the literal resurrection of Jesus to begin with, but I found I couldn't even envision a risen God. A victorious living God.A suffering God? A dying God? An oppressed God? Yeah, I could see that. I could see that clearly. In fact, writing about the … [Read more...]

Video of Mirabelle Edenton Air Bath for Those Interested
I used my air bath for the first time today (despite having completed the renovation nearly three months ago).
Given the pain in the neck it is to find tubs locally and the interest on this forum in air baths and tubs for alcove locations, I thought I'd post this video so that you could see it in action.
This is the Mirabelle Edenton 60" x 30" x 20" in white. The pump is behind the backrest and is accessible through the pony wall. I used a chrome tap drain and Kohler Pinstripe Pure hardware. The video begins with the jets in "wave" format and I change it to full speed toward the end. (You can adjust the speed down, too.) Enjoy.
Here is a link that might be useful: Air Bath in Action
Kevin, thanks for posting that. I keep wanting to downgrade to a soaking tub to help with the budget, but I just don't want to give up the air bath. Seeing it in action helps a lot.
I was looking at the Edenton, but no side access panel, an exterior wall on one side, and the plumbing of another bathroom on the other, I can't go with it. It's a shame because the interior dimensions are so big. I will have to go with the Bradenton or Provincetown instead..
If you don't mind my asking, was the backrest comfortable given its angle? The Bradenton has a similar angle and I wasn't sure it would be comfortable to lounge in, but I like its looks better than the Provincetown. We are tall in my home and would need to slouch down.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have been in love with this tub ever since I saw your reveal pictures and it really has a gorgeous shape. I'm considering getting it but am undecided about the details and features. This video was helpful!
May I ask you how loud it is? Is it any louder than a typical whirlpool or quieter?
It's not quiet, but it's not really different from a whirlpool. There is audio in the video I posted.
As to the backrest, it's somewhat more upright than other models, but it's still comfortable. Unless you're short or have enough space for a 66-72" tub, I found that they were all too short, forcing you to sit more upright.
WOW - I just realized it's almost 2 years to the day that you posted your video of the air tub - I'm finally ready to do my bathroom and really like the look of the Edenton.
First - do you still like it? I'm debating between the air tub or the soaker as well as the size. My space is limited and I'm only 5'2". It's hard to know what will be big enough but not too big once there's water in the tub.
I'd really value your input. I've attached the floorplan - not sure if that helps any. I'll also post that cause I really need help with it.
Again, I think your bathroom is lovely and you really went above and beyond the call of duty to post that video :)

Navy Midshipman Jordan W. Kelmar, son of retired Navy Cmdr. Brian A. and Daphne A. Kelmar, of Glen Allen, recently was commissioned as an ensign after receiving a bachelor of arts degree from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. Kelmar was selected to attend naval aviator training in Pensacola, Fla. where he will receive extensive instruction on the functions, capabilities and operations of all systems aboard an aircraft. Kelmar is a 2008 graduate of Deep Run High School.
The Richmond chapter of Ducks Unlimited recently earned a place in the President's Elite, out of more than 2,700 DU chapters nationwide. The list is reserved for the most prestigious chapters that raise $100,000 or more for DU's habitat conservation work. DU's event fundraising system has long been a model for other conservation organizations around the world and has funded a significant portion of the more than 12 million acres of wetlands and associated habitat DU has conserved since 1937. This year's President's Elite chapters also have the distinction of being honored during DU's 75th anniversary year and will be recognized during DU's national convention in Nashville at the end of May, with many chapter representatives in attendance.
The Virginia Home for Boys and Girls recently held its first volunteer recognition ceremony and among the honorees were Frank Hudak, advocate of the year; St. Michael's Church, volunteer of the year; and Morton Consulting, partner of the year. For the past 35 years, Frank Hudak has decorated his home for tacky lights tours and used the popular attraction to share the VHBG mission with visitors.

Originally written for professionals working with children with special needs, the booklet also offers many great tips for parents dealing with "typical" children and even adults dealing with others. The booklet offers many explanations for why people behave badly and suggests methods to break negative behavior patterns and to establish positive patterns. The booklet is available at http://www.sarahdooleycenter.org the w,ebsite for the Sarah Dooley Center for Autism, one of the programs Macurik supervises.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

The UX(user experience) for online system can be improved. The invoice layout can be redesigned to be more easy understanding.
Those will give customers much better feeling during and after process, and make people want to back next time.
Great employee and excellent customer service!
Nothing very satusfied
It was not easy to find the UHaul office in the building. Probably you need to put more visible signs with UHaul logo.
This location was great. Easy and fast check in and check out
Great Service!!
I made this reservation online the evening before scheduled pick up. Upon arrival, I was informed that I would only be able to have the truck for 2 hours due to another customer's reservation. I explained that I was not made aware of any time constraints, but would make an attempt to have it back by then. The agent then told me he couldn't release the truck if I couldn't guarantee the 11am return. I told him I would do my best. Then he stated that he would charge me for both reservations if I wasn't back by 11. I explained that that was not the policy on the reservation. He refused to honor the reservation since I couldn't guarantee that my full day rental wouldn't be back in under 2 hours. His refusal resulted in me being stranded at the store. i had to walk home due to my ride having already left. I wasn't able to make another reservation at a nearby location until after 4 pm. I understand that your company would like to have a good idea of when your equipment will be returned, but you can not advertise that it is a full day rental for $19.95 plus mileage if you are just going to enforce a time limit just to maximize your rental turnaround. If this is not Uhaul's policy I would strongly advise you contact location involved and ensure this never happens to another customer. Thank you
This was our 2nd move in 2 years, and we chose to use this location again because of our great experience last time. The manager here is top notch!
There is a construction in progress, so is a little complicated to come in/out.
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. The system was down when I went to pick up the truck and even though my payment worked, it took an incredibly long time to get the truck. After they processed the transaction, I never received the contract so I had to drive around without it which would have been very problematic if I was pulled over. Unfortunately there was a situation where I needed the contract and I didn't have it. Also, when I sought help for the fact that the truck was towed, all they told me was that they recommend I get it myself because otherwise it would be extremely expensive. But when I got to the towing company, they wouldn't release the car to me without the contract. Basically, everything just got worse and worse. I have rented a truck before and was very satisfied with my experience but this time was bullshit.
Everything was as promised. No complaints.
Gentlemen were helpful, attentive, and courteous.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Plan accordingly if you`re moving in at the end of the month, on a weekend, as there will be a lot of others doing the same.
I went to the storage unit and had to wait an hour because the clerk was on lunch. Once he came back, he informed me that the unit was not available. I am very upset and want my money back.
The storage size 5x9 I reserved wasn`t actually available, but the staff helped me reserve a larger unit 5x10 for a little more.
The store clerk was nice, but they didn`t have my reservation on file. I`m hoping that I won`t end up paying twice. The unit and hallways were clean and kept at a good temperature.
Friendly and kind
there was no place to pull up my truck to unload. i don`t see how you are a functioning storage facility in these conditions.
Great location. Must buy their locks, cannot use a regular padlock.
Very clean facility and courteous staff.
Everything went according to plan. We were mistakenly given a dirty storage unit, but it was to late to move things to a cleaner unit. However Great customer service
Very friendly helpful. Explained how to navigate to freeway, around the construction back to the facility. The trip was successful and uneventful it smooth seamless. Thank you.
Great customer service! Highly recommend
Very friendly staff. my only issue was my unit needed swept out pills and bb`s all over the floor of unit from the last renter.
The staff are professional but personal as well as knowledgeable. The facility is very clean and well organized. I am so happy to have found this storage location!
Please refund- unable to access unit after being told that access was available all evening. I had to move all my stuff into a family members garage because I could not unload my stuff into the unit.
The people that helped were very nice and helpful when I had to change sizes at the last minute. Thanks!
Person who was in charge this past sunday was completely rude with an attitude during closing time. He constantly reminded us that it was closing at 7:00 starting at 6.
Seattle Vault Self Storage is convenient, clean and well managed. I was impressed by the accessibility of the loading dock and units. I`d recommend this location to anyone!
The storage facility opened late. This was a bit challenging. The unit also had a lock on it, which had to be removed.I am, however, pleased with the unit and the service.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. The facility supplied large dollies and a freight elevator for moving large and heavy items. The storage units were reasonably priced.
Clean facility and helpful staff
Service was fine but we had to wait 15-20 minutes for the manager to appear as the office was closed at 1pm on a tuesday.
they were very helpful and gave me all the details of the storage facility
This facility is very clean. the service is great. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display review
13.3 in 2,560x1,600 display, 1.6kg, 2.6GHz Intel Core i5-4288U, 8.00GB RAM, 512GB disk, MacOS X Mavericks
Just like Apple's new iMacs, both versions of the MacBook Pro have now been updated to include Intel's brand new Haswell CPUs. It's still the same great MacBook Pro we know and love, but now it's more powerful than ever before. Despite this, Apple has barely increased the price, as the version we've reviewed starts at just £50 more than last year's equivalent model.
UPDATE: Although the model in this review has since been replaced by a slightly faster version, the only difference is a 200MHz processor clock speed boost. Apart from some minor improvements to benchmark scores, our original verdict applies to the latest model.
Our review sample came with one of the latest 2.6GHz Intel Core i5-4288U processors and 8GB of RAM, although you can also upgrade to a dual core 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 model for another £180. However, we were tremendously impressed with the Core i5's performance, as its overall score of 63 in our multimedia benchmarks makes it one of the fastest dual-core processors we've ever tested. This puts the MacBook Pro nearly 10 points ahead of last year's model, and its score of 54 in the multitasking section of the test shows it's highly capable of handling several different tasks at once. We're also impressed by the size of this MacBook's large 512GB SSD, which gives you plenty of space for all your media. It's also possible to upgrade to 1TB of flash storage, but you'll need a spare £400 to do so.
Luckily, such formidable power doesn't come at the expense of the MacBook Pro's battery life, as we managed an outstanding 17 hours and 21 minutes in our light use battery test. This is a staggering seven hours more than last year's model, promising true all-day battery life when you're on the move.
To see how the laptop would cope with more demanding tasks away from the mains, we also ran our new battery benchmark, which plays a 10-minute video every half an hour. Under these conditions, the laptop lasted a more modest 9 hours and 7 minutes, but this is still impressive compared to other ultraportables, which typically last around nine hours in our old battery test.
One thing you can't customise on the 13in MacBook Pro is the graphics chip, as graphics performance comes from the Iris Graphics 5100 graphics processor built into the laptop's CPU. Don't worry, though; the Iris Graphics 5100 chip is a cut above many on-chip graphics processors.
As there aren't many gaming benchmarks available for the Mac, we installed Windows 8 to see how the Iris Graphics 5100 graphics processor would cope with our Dirt Showdown benchmark test. With graphics quality set to High and with the game running at a resolution of 1,280x720, the laptop delivered a respectable 29.8fps. If you lower graphics settings, you can play games 1,920x1,080 and even its native 2,560x1,600 resolution.
Running natively on OS X, we were able to play isometric RPG Diablo III: Reaper of Souls smoothly by dropping the resolution to 1,280x800 and turning down some of the more advanced graphical effects. First person shooter Counter Strike: Global Offensive was a similar story, with frame rates averaging 40-60fps after we'd reduced the settings to a combination of Low and Medium values.
It's easily fast enough to decode 1080p and 1440p video on the built-in Retina display, and can also play 4K clips smoothly on an external screen using a Thunderbolt cable.
The components within the 13in MacBook Pro may have changed, but in many other respects the MacBook Pro remains very much the same. Apple's trademark aluminium case continues to impress, and it has a good range of ports, including an HDMI output, two Thunderbolt ports, two USB3 ports, an SDXC card reader and a combined headphone and microphone jack. The card slot is fairly shallow, unlike previous models, so full-size SD cards will stick out the side, but dedicated smaller cards like PNY's 128GB StorEdge will sit flush to the chassis, letting you increase storage space on the cheap.
We're not sure if anyone will notice, but Apple has managed to shave yet another millimetre off its overall thickness. However, the real talking point is the 13in MacBook Pro's beautiful 2,560x1,600 Retina display.

International Women's Day in a post-gender world
-Dr Elisabeth Kelan is lecturer in the Department of Management at King's College London. The opinions expressed are her own. Reuters will host a "follow-the-sun" live blog on Monday, March 8, 2010, International Women's Day. Please tune in.–
To mark International Women's Day, the Women's Empowerment Principles: Equality Means Business will be launched in New York on March 9, 2010.
It springs from a collaboration between the United Nations Global Compact and the United Nations Development Fund for Women, and contains comprehensive recommendations on how women and gender have to be considered in modern organizations across the world.
While the launch of the Women's Empowerment Principles points to the sustained inequality between men and women in the workplace, many young women in the global north see International Women's Day and specialist events for women as outdated. They seem to believe that they live in a post-gender world where gender no longer matters.
For many young women in the global north, gender equality is not seen as a relevant issue for their careers. They have grown up in a world, which makes it appear as if gender inequality is a thing of the past. Women form the majority of university graduates and achieve excellent results.
They cannot see why this should change in the workplace. Gender inequality appears to them as an outdated concept that is no longer worthy of discussion.
In our recent study on gender and the MBA, which will be published this month in the Academy of Management Learning and Education, women had an ambivalent relationship to discussing gender issues. Most of them believed that gender equality in the workplace is a fact and no longer needs any work.
In stark contrast to this stands the numerical evidence of women in the workplace. Our research has shown that most companies in Europe hire 50 percent women at entry level – with some industry related variations. However, women make up 30 percent of mid managers and 10 percent of senior leaders.
Developing leaders includes a focus on sending the future leaders on executive education and overseas projects as well as developing their skills through business critical projects. The research highlights that organizations do not systematically equip women with these crucial skills to become leaders.
The current generation of women might see gender as an issue that is solved. Yet they might find themselves in a workplace where gender inequality is still rife. Having never seen gender as an issue, they then lack the tools to address this gender inequality. For this reason it is so important to raise awareness for women's position in the workforce.
The Women's Empowerment Principles are an excellent way of doing this. They highlight how women matter in business globally. This includes women working in the supply chain to how women are presented in advertising.
By adopting these principles and by considering them in business decisions, the sustained gender inequality in the workplace can be discussed and acted upon. In a post-gender world where gender no longer seems to matter for many, it is vitally important to have such initiatives and commitments.

The real failure in Central America
The failure to manage the crisis of Central American child refugees at the Mexican border is not only about the inability to enact a comprehensive immigration policy reform. The real problem is the failure to build transparent and competent criminal justice institutions in Central America, especially after millions of American dollars have been provided to reform and strengthen security institutions there.
The core of the problem is not at the border, nor is it in the jungles controlled by traffickers. It resides within the structural corruption that holds sway in Central American institutions.
The recent surge of unaccompanied minors is the result of a myriad of factors that include the worsening of socioeconomic conditions in the region, the spread of rumors that children are allowed to stay in the United States and the increasing consolidation of sophisticated human-trafficking networks across Central America and Mexico. Yet the root cause is the dreadful security conditions in the Northern Triangle.
Since 2000, more than 175,000 people have been murdered in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. A recent article in Refugee Survey Quarterly shows that the scale of current forced internal displacement in El Salvador because of crime is of the same magnitude as during the civil war in the 1980s. In other words, youth gangs, criminal organizations and institutional incompetence are creating a humanitarian crisis in which the plight at the southern border is just the tip of the iceberg.
What is ironic, though, is that these Central American countries are not supposed to be at the center of such a regional calamity once again. In the 1980s, Central America was a battlefield of the Cold War, where military rulers, guerrillas, counter-revolutionaries and foreign forces fought over the future of the isthmus. In the early 1990s, far-reaching political transitions, wrought by successful peace agreements, created expectations that these poverty-stricken countries would somehow flourish as vibrant democracies and thriving market economies.
Since then, the international community and, especially, the United States have spent billions of dollars trying to strengthen national and regional institutions in Central America in an effort to create the conditions for rule of law and democracy. Data collected by the Washington Office on Latin America show that, since 2003, international cooperation in citizen security programs in Central America has amounted to over $1.7 billion, with the United States providing the lion's share, more than 36 percent of the assistance.
But, as it has turned out, things have gone hopelessly awry. Part of the problem centers on how these reforms were implemented, as local elites maneuvered to promote old-regime security operators at the helm of law-enforcement institutions. Many of those officials were already implicated in abuses and illegal activities.
Central Americans witnessed in despair how politicians and police chiefs turned their brand-new security institutions into replicas of the apparatuses of the past. In 2012, the AmericasBarometer found that more than 60 percent of Guatemalans and Hondurans believed that their police were involved in criminal organizations.
The debacle was aggravated by the fixation over waging war on drugs in the region, rather than attending to the long-standing social causes of crime and the blatant lack of institutional accountability. For many years, such vision led to cooperation initiatives that expanded and trained law-enforcement forces under the belief that better equipped and skillful operatives would contribute to solve issues of institutional corrosion.
It did not happen. Rather, local bosses learned to use American equipment, tactics and intelligence to publicly wage war on gangs while covertly plotting with those same criminals to tighten their hold on institutions, thus expanding impunity.
The result is that after years of security cooperation, these countries are crumbling under the siege of crime and widespread corruption. To be sure, American cooperation, spearheaded by the Central American Regional Security Initiative, has been amended and improved in recent years with more attention given to prevention and comprehensive responses to crime.
But such efforts might come too little and too late if we continue thinking that the main problem remains at the border and keep looking the other way while crooked officials spread impunity and insecurity across the region.
