A group of MIT scientists have planted false memories in mice
Now this is a scary piece of news. A group of MIT researchers have successfully implanted false memories into the minds of test mice, with a study published in the journal, Science.
The experiment was designed to look at the phenomenon known as "false memory syndrome", where the brain creates recollections of events that have never actually happened: you know, like seeing a black cat twice in The Matrix. By playing with the memory engram-bearing cells in the hippocampus, the MIT researchers convinced a bunch of mice that they had experienced shock to their feet, without physically doing anything different than just standing there.
Now, all this team has to do is sell me a dream pill that gives me the ability to "dream" some "memories". We could call it "iDream", should I go and get a patent on that?
Scientists finally capture video of the pitch dropping in 69-year-old Pitch Drop Experiment
86 years ago, the University of Queensland in Australia began conducting an experiment in which the flow rate of a piece of pitch was measured. For those of you who may not know what pitch is, it's a highly viscous liquid which, for all intents and purposes, appears to be solid. Bitumen is the most commonly used form and at room temperature, this tar pitch flows at a very slow rate sometimes taking up to a decade or more for a single drop to fall.
The University of Queensland is not the only institution studying this phenomenon. Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland has also been conducting their own experiment since 1944. Finally after 69 long years, the first drop of pitch has finally fallen. The drop occurred on July 11, 2013 at 5 PM local time and webcams that were set up last April were on hand to catch this extremely rare occurrence.
While some of you may not understand the excitement, I find in things like this let me break down how many times human eyes have missed seeing this event take place. According to Prof. John Mainstone of the University of Queensland, he has missed several opportunities to witness the drop happening with his own eyes. First in 1979, Mainstone said that he skipped one of his usual Sunday campus visits and coincidentally the drop happened the same day. Then again in 1988, Mainstone left his lab to grab a snack and apparently missed the drop by just five minutes. Finally in 2000, fed up with missing the drop, Mainstone set up a camera but unfortunately a glitch at the moment of the drop prevented any video of the event occurring.

X-47B makes its first landing on an aircraft carrier, the aircraft just took a giant leap for unmannedkind
The Northrop Grumman-built X-47B is an unmanned drone, and it has completed its first successful landing on an aircraft carrier at sea. We reported on the X-47B being the first unmanned drone to take off from an aircraft carrier, but landing unmanned? Remarkable.
Considering aircraft carriers are constantly moving with the ocean waves, even an experienced pilot would have trouble landing on one. It's not an easy thing to do, but unmanned, run purely on technology, algorithms and equipment? That's quite an achievement. The X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) is designed to fly mostly on its own, without much hands-on time from shipboard operators.
The precision landing was just that: precise. It is a huge step for multiple reasons, as this has been a procedure set in motion after quite a few years, and nearly a billion US dollars. On Wednesday, the X-47B made a 35-minute flight from the Navail Air Station at Patuxent River, Md., to the aircraft carrier, where it hooked onto the 3 wire with its tailhook and came to a perfect stop from a speed of approximately 145 knots in less than 350 feet.

Ever wanted access to your very own satellite orbiting the earth? Now you can have just that for a mere $250 per week
Traditionally, it has been pretty hard to get access to a satellite that is in orbit, but one California-based company is looking to change that. NanoSatisfi is developing small cube satellites that cost considerably less than $1 million to develop and launch, which is considerably less than traditional satellites that range anywhere from $500 million to several billion just for development.
The satellite in question is what is known as an ArduSat which is a cube satellite based on the open source Arduino development platform. This satellite is made of the same stuff that you blink your LEDs with. The satellite contains multiple cameras, a Geiger counter, a magnetometer, as well as an ambient light sensor. The entire package measures just 10cm x 10cm x 10cm and weighs in at a mere 2.2 pounds.
Some you might remember the ArduSat from its Kickstarter campaign which raised more than $100,000 and went on to garner an additional $1.2 million from external investors. The satellite is set to launch on August 4 and for just $250 a week, any interested parties can borrow the tiny vessel and explore everything that outer space has to offer.

SpaceTT: SpaceX's Grasshopper rocket launches to 1066ft and lands successfully
We know most of our readers enjoy SpaceX and space in general, so we thought you'd enjoy watching SpaceX's reusable Grasshopper rocket launch to 1,066 feet and return to its launch pad.
The video was shot from a hexacoptor hovering above the test flight. The actual test flight took place June 14, but the video was just recently released for all to watch. The Grasshopper is part of SpaceX's push to make use of reusable rockets. The company believes that reusable rockets are the future of space travel and that they will reduce the price of traveling to space.
SpaceX's CEO believes that it will cost $500,000 to move a family to Mars by 2029. Would you be willing to pay that?

Microsoft are working on a technology that would see your smartphone detect your mood
Microsoft could be onto something important with their Microsoft Research Asia division, who are working on a technology that provides your smartphone with the ability to detect your mood.
Not only that, it will detect your mood and post it to your social networks in real-time. If you thought the NSA PRISM system was bad, just wait until there's technology that posts to your Facebook wall that you're in a really bad mood. But, Microsoft researchers have said: "privacy concerns aside, these moods would enhance social networks by allowing users to share mood states automatically."
This would help users "know better how and when to communicate with others." I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want something detecting my mood all day every day, you wouldn't feel safe with your emotions at all.
Solar panels will be much cheaper by 2017, would cost around 36c per watt
It looks like adoption rates of solar power are about to get much better, with the cost of photovoltaic solar panels expected to drop to around 36c per watt by 2017, according to new research by cleantech market research firm, GTM Research.
Solar panels are currently backed up by natural gas and other types of power plants on the electricity grid... but with solar panels costing just $0.36 per watt, this would make it a good idea to install many more solar panels to back each other up instead of relying on another, older, Earth- and human-harming way of generating power.
At 36c per watt, 1000W of solar power is only going to cost you $360. With these costs arriving by 2017, we're not far from a far brighter (pun intended) future. Read more on this at the source.
Kickstarter-funded ARKYD space telescope reaches funding goal
Planetary Resources' Kickstarter goals for their ARKYD space telescope have been reached, a goal of a hefty $1 million. The project saw 11,000 backers, and should launch into orbit in 2015.
This means that a new round of add-ons for the extra-committed, oh goodie! Backers can purchase a special mission patch for $7, additional selfie photos starting from $25, and for the really committed, you can purchase a half-size ARKYD replica for just $600. Planetary Resources has longer term goals, which could see a second ground stations, selfies during the beta stage and even hunts for undiscovered planets.

Google's engineering director says humanity is close to achieving immortality
Google's engineering director, Ray Kurzweil, has come out with a crazy prediction - that the human race will soon develop the technology to keep us alive forever. CNBC reports that Kurzweil told the Global Future 2045 World Congress this week that life expectancies "will go into high gear within 10 and 20 years from now."
Kurzweil added that within "probably less than 15 we will be reaching that tipping point where we add more time than has gone by because of scientific progress." This means that Kurzweil thinks within the next 20 years, technology will have reached a point to add more years to our lives than the pace we currently live at through natural ageing. I don't quite think we'll get there, with all of the government regulation and the idea that everything has to be about making money - and everyone not dying surely has to have some serious consequences.
If no one died, how would the economies of the world work exactly? If you could live for 5000 years, you'd live a much different life than you would now, wouldn't you? It really does make you think - what do you think about living forever?
Thought the speed of light was fast? NASA is about to get a speeding ticket with their next field test
I think mainstream science has been suppressed for a very long time now, and it's about time that we find out, as a human race, what the reality of our existence really is. The first steps in this, are reversing the mainstream points of science. It looks like NASA could do something good here, with their latest field test that could prove that there is a possibility of faster-than-light travel.
Harold White and his team at NASA have been working on something called the Alcubierre Drive. This new method could use a solution which would see a craft placed within a space that is moving faster than the speed of light. This means that the craft itself isn't moving at the speed of light, meaning the craft itself doesn't need a propulsion system capable of travelling at that speed. This is where things get a little confusing, so grab your white lab coat and come on a walk with me.
The Alcubierre Drive is based on Einstein's field equations, which suggest that a spacecraft could indeed travel faster than the speed of light. But, instead of the craft itself pushing past the speed of light, it would do so by contracting space from in front of it, and expanding the space behind it - a nice trick. It's this type of science that I love reading about, and I think this is the future of space travel - thinking outside the box, which this kind of is.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' Arians, Peterson embrace defensive identity
The Arizona Cardinals' identity lies with their defense, and so far it's paying off for them. After allowing just over 26 points per game in the team's first three contests, the Cardinals have limited their last two opponents to 16 points combined, and both games have resulted in wins.
For head coach Bruce Arians, that's exactly what he had in mind when taking over the Cardinals, saying he supports being known as a defensive-first team.
"I love it," Arians said. "That's always been my motto and we want to be dominant on defense. We'll scratch some points out, but we always want to be a dominating defensive football team."
Star cornerback Patrick Peterson, who has three interceptions on the year, agrees with that mentality.
"The saying always stands true: �Defense wins championships,'" Peterson said. "If we want to be a good ball club, our defense must be strong."
The Cardinals are coming off a strong defensive year in 2012, but a tough schedule, inactive players and getting used to a new coaching staff might have hidden the true talent level of the group. With tough matchups coming up in the next two weeks, against San Francisco and Seattle, Arians remains confident in his defense.
"I think our defense matches up with everybody," Arians said. "We've got good speed. We're starting to understand the defense better each week."

Best 4 ch. Trainer for beginner
Ready to go to a good trainer4 ch radio plane. I have a spectum dx6i on the way. I will need an airplane that can bind with my spectum. I also have a grass airstrip. This was hard on my 3 ch. Setup. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated
|Oct 14, 2012, 09:30 PM
Get an Apprentice. Change to larger wheels for the grass. It's a great 4 channel trainer, large enough to see easily at a distance. And can be used for some simple aerobatics, like inverted flying.

That way they had a familiar model but added benefit of 4ch.
How ?
a) Cut wing at centreline and reduce dihedral to less but NOT zero. We can leave a sensible amount to still give some aspect of self-levelling. Usually you can remove about half the dihedral. Reglue the wing together with short bamboo skewers (2) across joint.
b) Cut trailing edge of wing either side to create ailerons. Leave centre section intact ...bevel front edge of ailerons so they can deflect up / down ...
c) Hinge to main wing using mylar strip or hinges.
d) Set small servo into each wing with short control rod to horn on each aileron.
e) Use Y lead to connect servos to Rx in primary turn channel (ie where you used to have rudder)
f) Plug rudder servo into secondary turn ch usually ch 4 on most Rx's.
Set all up level ... make sure you have reasonable travel on ailerons ... and set dual rate ailerons at 50 - 60% of that just in case.
Deep breath ... go fly.
If it's anything like the guys I showed to do above - you'll be amazed what your old trainer can now do. Keep on with it while looking at the 4ch or better that you want to have ...

I don't know if its the "best", but the Flyzone Sensei has received some very good reviews. Plus it has drop doors.
|Oct 15, 2012, 08:52 AM
In fact if OP can already fly the 3ch ... then I would say go for a Skyartec Cessna 182 or similar .......
But I may be missing something in his original post ?
|Oct 15, 2012, 09:08 AM
E flight T28 !!! IMHO it's the best 4ch for new pilots . I got the super cub dsm as my 1st plane and there great !!! Hands down easiest plane to learn with but after 2 weeks I was boarded with it and got the T28 and I'm still loving it . But have since moved on to ordering my 1st balsa like a big dummy lolo . You'll love the T28 by e flight and get the pnp if you have the dx6i . Good luck

If you want a low cost 4 channel trainer, check out the Ares Gamma 370. It comes as either a 3 channel RTF or a 3 channel Rx-R. Get the Rx-R and install the optional $30.00 aileron wing. You will then have a 4 channel trainer for around $110.00. later on you can get the brushless power setup for an additonal $40.00. Actually the E-Flight T-28 Trojan is a Parkzone model. It is also an excellent first 4 channel plane as are the Flyzone Sensei and E-Flight Apprentice. I recommend the Gamma 370 though because of the value for the price.
|Oct 15, 2012, 02:00 PM
I am always surprised by price quotes and what you get for money ...
I'm a real skinflint cheapo ... and paying over $100 for a trainer ?
My Cessna 182 from Skyartec as a Plug and Fly ... all I did was plug in my Rx and add a 3S battery ... was $60 + shipping. It has 5ch in fact as it has flaps but there's no need to use if you don't want. But ALL are ready linked up with good budget servos ...
I fly EDF's slopers, gliders, biplanes, pushers, literally anything that has wings ! including helis .. the Cessna is my model that is ALWAYS in the car ... and I've handed the Tx over to newcomers to the hobby and they found it a good follow on from their basic model.
But I'm biased as I own one !!

I don't recommend cheap airplanes with no customer support for a newbie. The planes I recommend to beginners are going to have the best CS and parts support. You just don't get that with the Skyartec stuff from Banana Hobby or NitroPlanes, or even HobbyKing for that matter, over here. You may have had a good expericence in Latvia, but here in the states it is another story. As for being a skinflint and el cheapo, that may be you, but not everyone thinks that way. I know I don't. Price is relative, after all.
|Oct 15, 2012, 07:27 PM
I'd recommend the eflite apprentice, easy, forgiving and awesome. If you have a dx6i than get the apprentice PNP get a AR600 RX and a Turnigy 3600mah 3s 25c. Also get the hobbypartz Thunder AC6 charger. I have one and I love it.
|Oct 15, 2012, 11:42 PM
As to Skyartec ... they have a good online site and deal direct for all parts ... they can be talked to and respond very well.
http://www.skyartec.com/Product.asp?BigClassName=Spare parts
I know they also have affiliate outlets in various countries ... UK I know and there is most likely a USA as well ...
You may consider price relative - but in fact Skyartec are providing good quality models at very good prices. If you think that paying a higher price guarantees better product - then sadly you are often wrong. That is not how the world works today. Price is often set at what the manufacturer thinks he can screw out of you.
So before knocking such as Skyartec as you have done - a little research would have shown the error.
I have had good back-up from them, it has survived all I throw at it in near 2 years, parts are readily available albeit by post and at budget prices as well.

Excel Agrees To Buy Telco For $1 Billion
By SETH SCHIESEL
Published: June 7, 1997
Excel Communications Inc. said yesterday that it had agreed to pay $1 billion in cash and stock to acquire Telco Communications Group Inc., solidifying Excel's position as one of the largest long-distance telephone companies in the nation.
The deal would join two young companies that in recent years have steadily taken share of the $70 billion long-distance market away from telecommunications giants like the AT&T Corporation. Telecommunications companies of all sizes have been looking for corporate partners recently as they try to offer broad bundles of services and to make their networks more efficient.
After the acquisition, Excel would have annual revenue of more than $1.5 billion and roughly 6.3 million customers.
''This is a very exciting merger for us,'' said Kenny A. Troutt, chairman of Excel, based in Dallas. ''We found that in every case we could support each other in building the business together and never compete with each other.''
Though Excel and Telco employ vastly different marketing strategies, both companies rely heavily on residential customers. The two companies hope that the enlarged Excel will be a stronger competitor in offering long-distance service to businesses. Excel executives also said yesterday that the company intended to enter the $100 million local telephone market early next year.
Under the agreement, Telco stock owners would receive about three-quarters of a share of Excel stock and $15 in cash for each of their Telco shares. The deal is worth about $30.75 a share, or 40 percent higher than Telco's Thursday close of $22. Excel would also assume Telco's debt of $140 million.
Shares of Excel closed at $20.75, up $2, yesterday in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Telco's shares rose $3.875, to $25.875, in Nasdaq trading.
The companies expect to complete the deal, which must be approved by the Federal Communications Commission, by the end of the year. They said that investors representing a majority of each company's outstanding shares had already agreed to vote in favor of the takeover.
'' 'The whole is greater than the sum of the parts' is kind of the cliche thing to say about it,'' said Eric Struminger, a telecommunications analyst with Paine Webber. ''But it's true. This is a positive for both companies.''
Excel, founded in 1988, grew to have revenue of more than $1 billion in 1996 on the strength of its 150,000 ''independent representatives.'' The representatives are Excel customers who have convinced friends, family members and acquaintances to switch their default long-distance carrier to Excel. Representatives receive a portion of the bills generated by those they have signed up, in an arrangement often called multilevel marketing.
About 90 percent of Excel's revenue comes from residential customers, in large part because the company's sales techniques generally rely on personal familiarity between representatives and new customers.
Telco's primary sales vehicle is direct mail, and Telco, founded in 1993 and based in Chantilly, Va., does not ask prospective customers to switch primary long-distance providers. Instead, the company is a leader in ''dial-around services,'' which require customers to dial or punch in a special five-digit code before the telephone number they want to reach.
Another dial-around company, Telecom U.S.A., a unit of the MCI Communications Corporation, has been advertising extensively on television in recent months.
Telco, which had 1996 revenue of $428.6 million, also employs a direct sales force of about 350 people to market the company's long-distance service to corporate customers. Business accounts now generate about 20 percent of Telco's revenues.
Both companies have continued to grow from year to year, but Excel's revenues have declined slightly over the last two quarters.
''Right now they're a bit stalled in their growth in sales from their associates because I think the market's a bit saturated,'' said Berge Ayvazian, an analyst for the Yankee Group, an information technology consulting firm in Boston. ''How many Tupperware parties can you have? They've driven that model of growth very far, but it's not going to keep growing in that mode.''
Analysts said that the combined company should be able to deploy its amateur salespeople alongside its professionals to win additional contracts from small and medium-sized businesses.
Excel also hopes to save up to $100 million in the year after the deal closes by moving its traffic to Telco's network. In March, Telco bought the use of a national fiber optic network for $170 million from Advantis, a joint venture of the International Business Machines Corporation and Sears, Roebuck & Company. Excel owns little telecommunications equipment of its own and instead buys minutes by the million from larger carriers such as MCI and Worldcom Inc.
''When you take Excel's minutes that are carried on other networks and you put them on our network, you get a large number of hard-dollar synergies that result,'' said Telco's chief executive, Donald A. Burns. ''It's that simple.''
Chart: ''Leapfrog in Long Distance'' The combined revenues from long distance business and residential customers for Excel Communications, formerly ranked seventh, and Telco Communications Group, formerly tenth, will place the new company just behind Frontier in rankings based on figures for 1996. Long Distance Rank Company Revenue (Millions) 1 AT&T $39,264 2 MCI Telecommunications 16,372 3 Sprint 7,944 4 Worldcom *4,485 5 Frontier 1,563 6 Excel Communications after acquisition 1,520 7 LCI International 1,103 8 Cable and Wireless Communications 919 9 Vartec Telecom 470 10 Cherry Communications 354 *Revenues for Worldcom include some non-long distance revenues for MFS Communications, a subsidiary.

Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers Are Expecting
Jun 2, 2014 by Sarah C.
The Lone Ranger isn't alone anymore! Technically, Armie Hammer (of Lone Ranger fame) hasn't been a solo team for a while now — he and wife Elizabeth Chambers were married in 2010 — but his duo is about to become a trio! The couple have announced that they're expecting their first baby. No word yet on when baby may arrive, although Chambers did thank her stylist (via Instagram) for "discreetly letting my clothes out for the past several months." In addition to prepping for impending fatherhood, Hammer is hard at work on the film The Man From U.N.C.L.E., scheduled to hit theaters next January.

I've written a bit of code to handle an issue with multiple notifications (the display time isn't honoured). This works by passing the notification requests to a separate thread and sleeping for the right amount of time before displaying the next notification. It would be a very minor change to check that there were no active players (e.g. music or video) before displaying a notification.
However, the above idea has nothing to do with cron so best not discussed in this thread. If the above idea is of interest, start a new thread and I'll share some code.

Which White Grout and Which Sealer? - Cross-Post
This is a cross-post from the Kitchens Forum, but I thought I would be able to get some great advice here, as well.
I'm about to have my backsplash installed and would like to use a bright white grout. Any recommendations for grout? How can I keep the grout looking white? What type of sealer should I use? My backsplash will be matte subways from Heath Ceramics. Is it bad to use a sealer with matte tiles? (I plan to test it first, but was wondering if anyone has first-hand experience?) Thanks in advance!
Thanks Lazarususa. I had e-mailed Heath Ceramics and they responded that a sealer may discolor the tiles and make them look glossy. I think I may try Latricete's Permacolor grout in Bright White (rather than having to seal each individual grout line).
Does anyone foresee any problems with Permacolor grout? Thanks for any advice.

Carlisle MP signs letter urging Chancellor to kick-start economy
Last updated at 12:48, Thursday, 29 November 2012
Carlisle MP John Stevenson has signed an open letter to Chancellor George Osborne demanding measures to boost UK manufacturing.
The letter, from the Associate Parliamentary Manufacturing Group, comes ahead of the Chancellor's autumn statement next Wednesday.
Conservative Mr Stevenson is a co-vice chairman of the all-party group.
The MPs say that the Government should:
- Reintroduce 100 per cent capital allowances for two years to encourage firms to invest;
- Re-examine the take-up of enterprise finance and loan guarantees;
- Create a Manufacturing Apprenticeship Fund (MAF) to cuts the costs of higher-level apprenticeships in engineering, ideally by paying the wages of apprentices.
The group says there is "substantial cross-party consensus" for its recommendations, which have been drawn up following "extensive consultation" with associate members.
These include the Engineering Employers' Federation, Institute for Manufacturing, Institution for Engineering and Technology, and Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Chris White MP, co-chair of the group, said: "Now is not the time for half-measures on manufacturing growth. If we are going to spark a manufacturing-led recovery, then we need urgently to create the system and the conditions the sector needs to thrive.
"This autumn statement provides a gilt-edged opportunity for the Chancellor to demonstrate clearly that this Government is serious about boosting UK manufacturing and driving long-term, sustainable economic growth."
Meanwhile, west Cumbrian accountant Trevor Morris is calling on the Chancellor to abandon, or at least delay, the planned fuel-duty rise of 3p due in January.
Mr Morris, who runs TaxAssist Accountants in Workington and Whitehaven, argues that this is not the time to hit small businesses with further price rises.
He said: "For trades people and service providers who make home visits, their cars and vans are a vital part of their service – not a luxury – and they can't absorb the cost of fuel-price increases.
"Trading conditions remain tough for small businesses and the Government needs to do more to help them access vital funding to create growth and jobs."
Mr Morris also wants the Chancellor to freeze business rates, increase the VAT threshold and widen the employers' National Insurance contributions holiday for new businesses.
He added: "These simple measures would provide significant savings for many small business owners and would be a welcome early Christmas present from the Chancellor."

Fundraiser planned Sunday for man injured in custody
The fundraiser marks one month to the day that Elliot Hospital transferred Ornelas, 54, to Massachusetts General Hospital. Family and friends say Ornelas went to the Boston hospital because he had a broken neck and was paralyzed from the neck down.
Ornelas was a psychiatric patient in the Elliot Hospital emergency room when he allegedly attacked a security guard the night of Oct. 16. He allegedly suffered facial injuries, was booked at Manchester police headquarters for simple assault, and then transferred about midnight Oct. 17 to Hillsborough County House of Corrections. Ornelas was sent back to Elliot Hospital about 9:30 a.m.

S. Shivakumar (37) is likely to have a disrupted sleep cycle on February 28, the last day of Census 2011 when all the homeless will be enumerated by midnight.
He and his family are among the people who have made a pavement near Egmore railway station their dwelling place.
"Usually policemen disturb our sleep. I came to know that officials are coming on Monday for enumeration. If they come after I fall asleep, I may have yet another night of disturbed sleep," he said.
"We have been homeless for the past four decades," says R.Muniamma, his mother. Shivakumar lost one of his feet in a rail accident when he was playing on the railway track close to the pavement 30 years ago, she said. His disability is cited as one of the reasons for their poor financial condition.
The family had migrated to the city from a village near Tindivanam. "We do not have ration card as we are homeless," said Ms. Muniamma.
Asked about her viewpoint on the enumeration done every 10 years as part of Census, Ms. Muniamma said "Officials have been counting the number of homeless people like me. But I have been remaining homeless for three decades. Our hope is only in our children." One of her grandchildren, K.Kavitha is studying in a Chennai School nearby.
In 2001 Census, the number of homeless in Chennai was around 6,000. The number is likely to be much bigger in Census 2011, said S.Gopalakrishnan, Director of Census Operations-Tamil Nadu.
The Chennai Corporation staff would take part in the enumeration of the homeless.
It had already conducted a survey of the homeless people a few months ago and found that there were 2,586 such families.
As Chennai has a high concentration of homeless people in Basin Bridge and Pulianthope zones, the Chennai Corporation has formed special teams for enumeration in those areas, said Corporation Commissioner D. Karthikeyan. NGOs would participate in the enumeration.
Over 92.5 per cent of the enumeration for Census 2011 has been completed in Chennai so far, sources said.

Prefecture of Attica Favorites
Starting at the foot of the Acropolis, the old area of Plaka is a maze of narrow, cobble-stoned, medieval streets that twist through ancient sites, tourist-packed squares and lovely Byzantine courtyards. The best way to explore it is simply to get lost among its enchanting passages. The most beautiful section of Plaka is Anafiotika, a cluster of...more
Athens Acropolis
It's on all those annoying lists of 'places you must see before you die' but the city's centrepiece, the Parthenon, and the Acropolis, the rocky hill on which it stands, really do live up to the hype.

Let's not go down the old road when people said "Works best in Internet Explorer" only because they did not test anything else.

SYDNEY -- ExxonMobil and BHP Billiton will spend more than $1 billion on natural gas processing facilities in southeastern Australia to handle new supplies of natural gas from offshore fields in the Bass Strait. The investment builds on the billions of dollars major international energy companies are pumping into gas projects in Australia that are targeting an expected jump in demand in the coming decades domestically and from energy hungry consumers in Asia.
BHP in a statement said it had approved a $520 million investment in new facilities at the jointly owned Longford plant in the Gippsland Basin of Victoria state, while Exxon separately said it would spend a similar amount. The gas will flow from the Kipper, Tuna and Turrum fields in the Bass Strait, which the two companies and a third partner, Santos, are developing as part of a more than $4 billion project.
The gas conditioning plant is being designed to process about 400 MMcfd and reduce carbon dioxide content of treated gas to less than 3%. Reservoirs at the Turrum field contain between 5% and 22% carbon dioxide in the produced gas, and the Kipper reservoirs from 10%-18% carbon dioxide.
Michael Yeager, CEO of BHP's petroleum division, said the new facilities are a necessary extension of the companies Bass Strait infrastructure, allowing gas reserves in the region to be developed and meet long term energy supplies in southeast Australia. The Longford gas plant has been operating for more than 40 years and is one of country's biggest oil and gas developments.
Australian energy consumption will continue to grow during the next 20 years. The gas conditioning plant will process gas to help meet this expected increase in demand, Mr. Dashwood said. Building work is expected to begin in the third quarter of next year, and the new facility is set to be operational in 2016, the companies said.
BHP's investment comes a day after it agreed to sell a minority stake in the Browse LNG project offshore Western Australia to PetroChina for $1.63 billion cash. It brings the total from BHP's sale of small operations and minor positions in resources operations to more than $4 billion in recent months.

Highlighting the Parts Caddy
The daily grind of warehouse work includes a ton of small tasks adding up. A worker may only handle small boxes and items, but the load accrues quickly. The result: heavy carts to push around, with the wrists, shoulders, and lower back feeling the brunt of the strain.
The PartsCaddy alleviates the strain of manually pushing a cart so workers can avoid injuries such as carpal tunnel and long-term back problems. Your staff can spend their energy on picking and sorting rather than pushing and maneuvering a weighted-down cart.
We've given the PartsCaddy plenty of power and all the right features. The cart handles loads up to 3000 pounds while moving up to 3 mph — natural walking speed. With reverse function and 360-degree pivoting, workers can maneuver around tight spaces and get where they're going without fighting inertia. You can see it in action here.
Need to handle various shapes and sizes of items? Customize it with shelves, tables, and different bed dimensions. Or just enjoy the versatile 27" by 48" bed that comes standard. For smaller needs we also have a PartsCaddyLite.
The PartsCaddy also moves well across a variety of surfaces. Uphill, downhill, on carpet or slippery terrain — this cart automatically adjusts to conditions and keeps moving smoothly.
Think about how much effort and time go into moving parts and equipment around your warehouse. The PartsCaddy helps keep your workers energized and healthy while speeding up transit times. Less downtime, fewer injuries, and greater efficiency around the clock.
Find out what our power carts can do for you by calling a Sales Engineer at 1-800-686-2651.

"We're not really used to the bells-and-whistles style French campsite…"
We're not really used to the bells-and-whistles style French campsite so when we arrived here after a week in a quiet Alpine site we were a bit taken aback.
We had a fantastic week, however. The site was busy (it was August) but never felt too busy. The kids (3 and 6) loved the pools and the beach by the lake and the 6 year old really enjoyed the early mini-disco (she now knows the French version of Agadou!).
The shop is very well-stocked and not overly expensive. The showers and washing facilities are good. There is entertainment in the evening (music, magic show, dancing), which we could hear from our camper van, but it wasn't intrusive and seemed very 'French'(!)
There are kids clubs run by the English tour operators, but as we weren't with one, my daughter went to the free club run by the site staff for a morning. She had a great time and made friends with a couple of other English girls. Most of the children were French but the staff spoke enough English to communicate with the Dutch and English kids.
We'd definitely go back here. It's a lovely site in a beautiful area--great for siteseeing locally, or equally great if you want a few days chilling in the sun by some water.Read moreLess
