Envent WorldWide forayed into the Indian market in 2011 and in a very short span of time has come up with a huge range of products. It has its entire range of IT peripherals, smartphone accessories and lifestyle products in its kitty. Moreover, the company will soon be bringing many more products under different categories at an affordable price. It is also mulling over expanding its business to other countries with its environment-friendly products. We spoke to Sandeep Ramani, COO, Envent WorldWide Pvt Ltd to know about the company's upcoming products and business strategies that it plans to follow in order to take the company to new heights.
How has the journey been for Envent WorldWide since 2011?
We started Envent Worldwide because we wanted to be the game changer and now we look forward to take it to a global level. The journey has been pretty good and motivating because there is a huge potential in the kind of products we have been in. We are currently working in three verticals--one is IT, in which there are basically laptop and desktop peripherals, which include keyboards, mouse, webcam, headsets and then we are operating in consumer electronics and telecom accessories that include accessories for Apple and BlackBerry along with other generic mobile accessories. We also have a range of lifestyle products and we will soon be launching various new psychological products in that segment.
These products will probably be very new to Indian customers, like digital cameras that are specifically for kids as we all have very expensive cameras, which kids could drop or mishandle. These cameras would be priced around Rs 1,899 or Rs 1,999. This is just an example of the new lifestyle category we are operating in. We also have portable alcohol analyser, which will come in a key range. Envent will be launching portable gadgets that are affordable.
When do you plan to come up with this new portable range of products?
We will probably be launching them soon, in this quarter itself.
What is your position globally?
We had started in India and very soon we will be expanding to Bangladesh and Nepal. Our company is already there in China and Sri Lanka, where we will be announcing distribution partners very soon. As of now, we are only focusing on Asian countries.
What are your growth plans in context of your products?
We have already launched keyboards, mouse, headphones, webcams and we have received a tremendous response. Now we have launched our telecom accessories as well, especially for Apple and BlackBerry smartphones. Very soon our customers will be seeing an entire range of Bluetooth devices from our company. These won't be general Bluetooth headsets that are available in the market. We actually believe in innovation and hence we have come up with a Bluetooth device that can be paired up with other two devices at the same time. Also, it will provide a battery backup of up to six hours and will be quite affordable.
When can we see these Bluetooth devices in the market?
We have already given it to our distributors and the material is in transit. You can soon find it in the market.
There is so much of competition in the IT products and mobile accessories segment and Envent is still a young company. How do you plan to make your own space despite all the competition?
We do have competition in the verticals we are operating in and we are highly concentrating on the product quality and its affordability. So I believe that the positioning of our brand would be at par with the premium brands, especially when we talk about IT and telecom accessories. By default we have taken up a conscious decision that all our products will be CE, FCC and RoHS certified. There are only a few companies that are concentrating in such areas. Even though it is not mandatory in India but our products will be at par with the global brands. If you talk about RoHS, it is mandatory in Europe while CE and FCC are mandatory in most parts of America. So we have taken a conscious decision that will be launching only green products with the CE, FCC and RoHS certification. We have got very good response from the channel market as we already have our IT products out there in the market. We have also received a great response from the customer's end through our Facebook page.
Where do you see Envent WorldWide after a few years?
We want to be among top three IT and telecom accessories brand in India by 2015. In the current financial year, we are targeting Rs 250 million. Looking forward, we aim to have a positive growth year by year.
Do you have any manufacturing unit in India as Envent is an India-based company?
We do not have any manufacturing unit in India. We do contract manufacturing in China, Taiwan and South Korea. Our company has roped in A-class factories as our products have to be CE, FCC and RoHS certified. So we are teaming up only with companies, which are fully quipped and have the necessary certifications. We have signed MOUs with those companies where we are doing contract manufacturing. We also have our strong R&D team in corporate headquarters in Delhi who are also involved in designing of the product. It is a long-term plan and involves a long-term strategy. We might come up with a manufacturing facility in India in future. But a lot depends on government policies and there are lots of parameters to be considered and it will be based on the economical scale.
What is the distribution model of Envent?
We are going in for regional distributors. So currently it is being distributed in east west and south by Venktron Digital Systems and in north the IT part is being distributed by exclusive systems and the telecom part is distributed by Sangee Communication. This is the basic distribution model that we follow.
Are you looking forward to come out with smartphones or tablets in near future?
Apparently we don't intend to do so but yes moving forward, we will decide internally into the management. Currently we are only into accessories.
What kind of strategies do you plan to adopt to boost market shares in India?
We are closely working with the telecom companies and just to give you an example, iPad 3 has been launched in India and probably in next 15 days we will have the iPad 3 accessories on shelves. It will not be the run for usual accessories. It will be something new to the Indian customers and technologically advanced as well. We will be entering few more verticals but it would be too early to discuss it at this point of time as we are focussing on current verticals for now. Once we are established, we will be adding up new products in all these verticals.
Are your product available on e-commerce websites?
Our products are there on few e-commerce websites. We have a few prominent websites and soon we will be on e-retail stores like Flipkart and Indiatimes as well.

Lieutenant Colonel Charles Groves Wright Anderson
|Birth date:
|12 February 1897
|Birth place:
|South Africa: Cape Colony, Cape Town
|Death date:
|11 November 1988
|Death place:
|Australia: Australian Capital Territory, Canberra
|Final rank:
|Lieutenant Colonel
|Service number:
|First World War, 1914-1918
NX12595 - Second World War, 1939-1945
Charles Anderson was born at Cape Town, South Africa, on 12 February 1897. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the King's African Rifles on 13 October 1916 and fought with that regiment's 3rd Battalion in East Africa against the German-led Askari. Anderson was awarded the Military Cross for his service in this campaign.
Though he could not have known it at the time, Anderson's experience in jungle warfare - rare for a First World War soldier - and his post-war experience as a big-game hunter prepared him well for commanding troops in the jungles of Malaya in the Second World War.
He married Edith Tout in February 1931 and three years later, in 1934, the couple moved to Australia where Anderson had purchased a grazing property near Crowther in New South Wales. In March 1939 he joined the Citizen Military Forces, and was appointed captain in the 56th Battalion. He was promoted to major in late October that year and in July 1940 was seconded to the AIF. Appointed second-in-command of the 2/19th Battalion, part of the ill-fated 8th Division, he embarked for Malaya in February 1941.
Anderson was promoted to lieutenant colonel on 1 August 1941 and took command of his battalion. Five months later Japan entered the war, invading Malaya and committing herself to war with Britain on the same day as her forces attacked the United States at Pearl Harbour. British Empire forces began a long series of withdrawals down the length of the Malayan peninsula. Within a month Japanese forces were in southern Malaya and Anderson's unit was among those conducting defensive operations in the Muar area. He conducted a fighting withdrawal to Parit Sulong during which he and his men were cut off and suffered heavy casualties. Anderson led them through four days of heavy fighting in a bid to reach Allied lines. For his leadership, his protection of his own wounded men, and for repeatedly risking his own life Anderson was awarded the Victoria Cross.
The fighting over, Anderson endured more than three years in Japanese captivity before returning to Australia. His appointment in the AIF was terminated on 21 December 1945 and Anderson returned to his property. He stood in the 1949 general election and won a seat in the House of Representatives as the Country Party member for Hume. He lost the seat in 1951, but regained it in 1955, remaining in office until 1961.
Anderson and his wife had four children, all of whom were born in Australia. He moved to Red Hill in Canberra, having served as a member of the Joint Committee on the Australian Capital Territory. He died in Canberra on 11 November 1988.

(5.5L V8 AWD 7-speed Automatic)
2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan E550 4MATIC 4dr Sedan AWD (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
The front brakes had to be replaced at 24K miles.
At 40K miles the back brakes had to be replaced.
Prior to this, I drove a Lexus for 60K miles before the brakes needed to be replaced.
We will be going back to Lexus and I hope I never live long enough that I am forced to purchase another Mercedes-Benz.
Dealers have only been marginally helpful and say this is reasonable wear - might be but isn't for a Lexus.

Just bought the E550 4matic a week ago. Love the car. It came down to the audi A6 or 5 -series. This car is much better in both build and drive. The V8 is very fast and smooth. The HK sound is awesome. The Xenon lights are great! Once you use them, you won't like regular lights again. The only things I haven't liked is the COMMAND function. It's ok to use. More complicated than it needs to be. The IPOD interface could be better. I got the sport edition. Not much difference in ride quality between sport and comfort modes. The car height feature is pretty cool when parking near a curb. It raises the car about an inch so you don't hit some concrete curb when you park.

This is simply the best vehicle in the world. It's way more roomy and comfortable than my wife's 5 series. I wouldn't think twice about buying another one.

This car is simply amazing. It handles like a charm but the rides not too firm. A definite buy.

Very smooth, solid, comfortable and quiet (almost eerie-quiet with audio system on). Previous car was a BMW 545i and it's better in almost all respects. Particularly surprised at how quick it is and how well it handles in sport mode; would really give my 545 a run for its money. Also like the feel of the power steering better; much more variable; does not feel as "heavy" as BMW steering at low speeds. My car has just about every option except driver assist. Only major disappointment is the Night Vision system. The infrared camera is really just a grainy B&W camera; there's nothing infrared about it. My eyeball detects deer and animals much better than it does; almost distracting.

I was trying to decide between the Lexus, BMW. I hadn't really ever considered buying a MB until I test drove the new E550. WOW! This is by far the best driving car in its class. In my opinion, it's a significantly better vehicle than the 5-series or the Lexus equivalent. Not to mention the fact that you can get the all wheel drive feature in the E550. Great performance and good in the snow! Perfect for me here in CO. Take one out and drive it. You won't be disappointed.

If the Win7-type desktop is what she's used to, you can still buy a Win7 laptop. Amazon has several.
And yes, you still have to uninstall all the assorted junk. That's been the case with laptops ever since WinBook went out of business. I always used to laugh when the reviewers listed "no included applications" as a minus for Winbook products. Having it come with nothing but Windows installed was a big plus!

Child Eats Dog Poop in Most Disgusting Ad You'll Ever See
This poster has definitely left a bad taste in some people's mouths.
This poster has definitely left a bad taste in some people's mouths.
We all know dogs can be loyal, but sometimes they go above and beyond what we expect.
Oh, the things we'll do for pets.
Hate it when dog owners don't clean up after their pets? A solution may be on the way.
There's nothing like seeing an old friend.
Last year dog owners gained a venue on which to extract some revenge on their misbehaving pooches with the Dogshaming Tumblr. Now, with the Bunny Shaming Facebook page, folks with pet rabbits have a place to turn when their furballs make trouble.
That pimp sure has a sexy tramp with him! Dogs and their owners have special relationships, so why not dress up with your pooch this Halloween season? Here are a few costume ideas that the two of you can enjoy while trick-or-treating. Don't beg too much!
Another week, another bunch of people who think their iPhones make them professional photographers. This week, we're rounding up the cutest shots of your furry friends.
This adorable Hamster doesn't just run around on a silly wheel all day, it likes to ham it up too. How it was trained to play dead after being shot still boggles the mind? But it cracked us up, so we had to share
There's an old adage that says people and their dogs eventually start to look alike. But new research shows the type of dog we choose actually has a lot to with how well they match our own personalities, too.

Start Your Engines
This probably was not intentional on NASCAR's part, but the schedule's first off week perfectly delineated the difference between Cup racing genres.
Before last weekend, the competition was all about horsepower and conquering the wide-open spaces of 1.5-mile and longer tracks. Now, over the next two Sundays, completely different mindsets and setups will come into play.
The short tracks are taking center stage.
After running 1,017 laps and 1,816 miles in four races, teams will face 1,000 laps and about 540 miles in eight days between Bristol, Tenn., and Martinsville, Va., NASCAR's iconic half-mile bullrings. It's the fifth consecutive season the Cup Series visits the tracks in back-to-back weeks, a sequence that will test drivers in a far different way than the season's opening month.
First up is the Food City 500, Bristol's daytime race in the Colosseum-like setting where 160,000 fans sit practically on top of the concrete oval and drivers simultaneously negotiate the high banks and each other.
"Bristol is just so intense. You can't relax at all," Roush Fenway Racing's Greg Biffle said. "It's like walking a tightrope for 500 miles and holding your breath the whole time. No other track is like that."
This will be the fourth Cup race on the new Bristol surface, now with variable banking, from 26 degrees near the apron to 30 at the wall. Drivers now have options as far as racing lanes, although it's an overstatement to say there now is room to roam.
"It's still a place that can invite trouble," said Ryan Newman, one of a number of drivers near the top-35 owner points bubble who doesn't need any more trouble. "But to me, the racing is at an all-time high at Bristol compared to the way it used to be. It's no longer a one-lane racetrack. You kind of had to root somebody out of the way before, and fans really liked that. But from a driver's standpoint, that's not the best way to race. You don't want to be looking in your rearview mirror and worrying about avoiding a crash."
At the previous Bristol race, the fall 2008 night event, Carl Edwards was the rooter and Kyle Busch the pushed-aside victim as Edwards got the win. Busch had led an amazing 415 laps -- from Lap 55 to Lap 469 -- but as is often the case at Bristol, the trailing car got a fender in the right place and opened its own lane.
"A lot of times you end up rubbing on people, and they do the same to you," said Edwards, also a Bristol winner in 2007. "You see a lot of wild finishes like that. Overall, you have to be tough all day with the grind, and you have to be able to deal with it until the end."
Sometimes you deal with it even after the checkered flag, as Busch and Edwards tangled on the cool-down lap. Emotions don't just shut off after 500 miles.
The way the schedule sits now, it's a two-week roller-coaster ride. Any unsettled scores from Bristol can be carried right across the state line to Martinsville.
Kurt Busch: Dodge strength was an early season story line in 2008, with Ryan Newman winning the Daytona 500 ahead of several other Chargers, but it was only that -- an early season story. Those are a dime a dozen in the Cup Series.
This Dodge dalliance, however, feels like it could have some staying power. Restrictor-plate wins usually are flukey, and the other Dodge win last year -- Busch at rain-shortened New Hampshire -- was a weather-strategy deal. But when you lead 234 laps at Atlanta in a Penske Dodge, including passing a Roush Ford (Edwards) and holding off a Hendrick Chevy (Jeff Gordon), you've got more than circumstantial evidence.
"We've proven ourselves on the big tracks this year and we've shown that we can win again on the intermediate tracks," said the 2004 Cup champion, now third in points.
And in the all-important buzz department, a victory lap in reverse was flat-out brilliant. Busch and Dodge got plenty of mileage out of that over the break in the schedule.

You Gotta See This
Kasey Kahne: Not all Dodge's eggs are in the Kurt Busch basket; the No. 9 also is building momentum. Kahne was a nonfactor 29th at Daytona but has improved every week since with a 12th-place run at California, 11th at Vegas and seventh at Atlanta.
"The guys have been working hard and not making mistakes. We have been more consistent, and that's what you need to have a good season," said Kahne, ninth in points for Richard Petty Motorsports. "We do need our cars to be better if we want to win races and make the Chase, but every week we are making gains."
Off The Pace
Ryan Newman: Speaking of Dodge strength, how's that move to Chevrolet working out, Newman? It would be one thing if there was a theme of new-team growing pains throughout Stewart-Haas Racing, but the owner is sixth in points with three top-10s in four races. The No. 39 is alone in its struggles, 32nd in points with zero lead-lap finishes.
"So far, it's been a challenging time," said Newman, whose last top-10 finish was the 2008 Bristol fall race. "We've had fast cars. We know where we're at performance-wise, and it's a lot better than what our finishing results show. We've just had too many hiccups and unforced problems that have stalled our momentum."
Inside The Numbers
8 -- Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s average finish in his past 15 Bristol starts
9.56 -- Kevin Harvick's average Bristol finish, tops among active drivers
56 -- Caution laps at 2008 Bristol fall race, fewest in 13 years
550 -- Cup races for Gordon if he starts Sunday
249 -- Top-5 finishes for Gordon

tapping/knocking sound only in warm weather?
All last summer and now this year, too, I have had a problem with an intermittent tapping/knocking sound in my house. The sound only occurs in warmer weather, but it occurs day and night. Last year I thought that it might be animal-related (like a woodpecker of some sort), but the animal/bug control company I called last year saw no signs of damage and said that the day/night pattern ruled out birds. I now think it must be plumbing-related because I can feel a couple of the water pipes in the basement vibrating when the sound is happening.
Can anyone suggest what I ask my plumber to look for when dealing with it? The sound is intermittent so I can't count on it happening when he's here. Plus my usual plumber is somewhat hard of hearing. I'd like him to do the work if possible, but I'm not sure he can hear the problem.
Seems like a vibrating pipe at a point where it is strapped or clamped to the house framing. You should try to isolate the sound location a bit more. (In the winter, this typically happens when hot water suddenly goes through a cool pipe and the pipe expands rapidly.)
Next time the sound happens, hold one of those vibrating pipes firmly and see if goes away, etc. then proceed from there to locate the pipe strap/clamp in question. Also, just securing the vibrating pipe where you can access it might help.

PORTALES, N.M. — Sunland, Inc., the peanut processor that was at the heart of a food-borne illness outbreak and related recall in October 2012, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Mexico on Oct. 9.
The company said operations at its processing plant have ceased and a Chapter 7 trustee will be appointed to manage the company's affairs.
"All future decision to operate, sell or otherwise liquidate the company's plant and other assets will be made as part of the bankruptcy proceedings by the trustee, not by the company or its management," the company said.
The filing was precipitated by a series of difficult events over the past year that negatively impacted the company's finances. Sunland voluntarily recalled all of its products in October 2012 due to Salmonella contamination in some of its products. In November 2012, the Food and Drug Administration suspended the company's food facility registration, thus barring it from distributing its products into the marketplace. It was the first time the F.D.A. used its authority to revoke a company's facility registration.

Deep down
... so-called natural way. Hence, I have spontaniously decided to walk the natural way out which is much more exhausting than walking into it which is down. Well, you need to know that the cave is 250 m below ground. The elevator needs a minute to travel up or down. The time given to visit the cave was very limited, so I was a bit worried if I could make it up on time. The sign said it takes 1 hr to walk up. If so, then I would be too late ...

I've tried about four times now to kill that GD MOFO and no luck yet. I just seem to end up getting knocked on the ground by chimera then get dragged around by hellhounds all over the F*ing place until all my pawns are dead. Rather that trying to run around the 2 black chimera and 4 or so hellhounds to aid them i just rum to the door and leave. By the way all my pawns seem to do is stand next to each other and get gang banged by monsters, is there anyway to command them individually like in Dragon Age 2.
DragonRiderIchigo's forum posts
Ok i got it ive been running in circles for the last 40 minutes and got turned around. Ive found the way out and the ur dragon isnt gonna kill me.
Ok i didnt know that the chamber of lament is the ur dragon and now im stuck in the chamber. I've fought him for three straight rounds and getting low on curatives. HOW THE HELL DO I GET OUTTA HERE!!!
No i havent fought the dragon yet but ive killed about 10 drakes... what can i say i like to do all the quests i can first. I can kill a chimera in about 30-45 seconds and the black chimera just went in about 90 seconds. I like to make the boss battles easy.
I'd also like to know how far into the tainted mountain i can go before i get caught in the boss battle cause i ventured a little bit and there is way better farming there with little journeying.
I'm at level 60 right now. I started as a ranger(almost maxed it out), then moved to magick archer(maxed it out), now i'm a mystic knight(almost maxed out). I have the best weapons and armor i can find right now(only one or two armor dont have 3 stars or dragonforging) and the game is getting boring and i want everfall action. Should i grind to 70 or just give it a good old college try?
Ive never gotten anyhting from people before how exactly do we go about it?
Yeah it was a stupid post but i was really pissed off...... but yeah hes back and all is well, whoever can delete this thread can if they so wish.
Anybody who tries the side quests where u have to escort the Gran Soren Innkeeper to the healings springs....DO NOT LET HIM DIE!!! If he dies u no longer have anyone in the Gran Soren Inn to access your storage, upgrade skills, or sleep. I have been going to Cassidis for about the last 10 ingame days to take care of business. If i didnt have a portcrystal there i would have just f*ing restarted my game already.
Been looking for like 2 days online and in game but cant come up with the answer anywhere.

How are you?
I would describe myself as stable in my career and goal-oriented. I enjoy making people laugh. I am intelligent and can carry on meaningful conversations and care about other people's feelings. When I'm with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, and playful. Someone to laugh with, hang out with, be spontaneous with, and have fun with! I'm looking for someone who has similar qualities and desires. Someone who they can connect with . I feel there has to be mutual physical attraction for there to be good chemistry between two people. Having some similar interests helps–some things I enjoy are checking out local hole in the wall restaurants/bars, walking at the beach at night, kayaking, travelling, going to camp, going on day trips to local attractions, having romantic nights at home, cuddling, and basically having a blast together.

The FDA Declines to Approve Bydureon, a New Once-Weekly GLP-1 Agonist (Continued)
Thus, it is very surprising and discouraging that the FDA has requested this data now, when many doctors and patients were excited about access to this new compound. Perhaps most frustrating is that the FDA had deemed the cardiovascular data in kidney-impaired individuals from the DURATION-1 study adequate at the time Bydureon was originally submitted. So the FDA had the opportunity to ask for this study nearly seven months ago in the first complete response letter. We believe this exemplifies the FDA's increasingly poor ability to communicate adequately and in a timely fashion, as its mission suggests it should. With Bydureon's remarkable profile (nearly two points in A1C reduction, weight loss, much less nausea than Byetta, convenience of a once-weekly shot), we would have thought at least the FDA could have approved the drug in a population that did not include individuals with impaired renal systems, assuming this is the population in question.
Since 2008, the FDA has placed increasing emphasis on the cardiovascular safety of new diabetes drugs, arguing that these drugs should not increase the risk of cardiovascular complications when individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes are already at significantly higher risk for those complications. Notably, cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality among individuals with diabetes. While that is certainly a reasonable concern, we view the FDA's decision on Bydureon as excessive, given the lack of any signal for a a cardiovascular safety issue and the amount of data already submitted. This decision is most disappointing for individuals with type 2 diabetes who are struggling to adequately control their blood glucose and that may have greatly benefited by what we believe is a remarkable drug. Meanwhile, of course, without Bydureon on the market, millions will continue to be diagnosed with long-term complications who could have benefited from better drugs earlier in their therapy.
What next? Well, this is certainly not to say that the drug will never be approved. In fact, many in the diabetes community, especially researchers and doctors involved in studying the drug, appear confident the Bydureon will eventually gain approval. The companies have estimated that it may take until the end of 2011 to design, carry out, and submit the results of the requested cardiovascular study to the FDA. Following this submission, the FDA would have six months to review the data and decide again whether to approve Bydureon. Consequently, approval of Bydureon may not come until mid-2012. We'll keep you updated!

A drainage layer for the Domus Aurea
At present, the Domus Aurea consists of a complex underground structure above which lies the Oppian Hill park with the visible remains of the Baths of Trajan.
The rooms that previously belonged to Nero's vast palace, originally designed as an overground complex, are now concealed by the park and have thus become subterranean structures, though they were not intended to be so.
Holes in the vaults and apertures in the vaults have formed preferential paths for the percolation of water and caused the structures to become far weaker than they originally were.
Examples of these situations, widespread throughout the monument, can be found in Room 33, where rebuilding and conservation work has already taken place, in Gallery 20E and Room 94.
Numerous attempts have been made to waterproof the ancient structures to intercept rainwater and prevent it seeping into the underground monument, though these have covered limited areas.
We have recently completed the Definitive Project for the rehabilitation of the area above the Domus Aurea.
It is obvious that water infiltration, resulting from increasingly frequent heavy rains, continues to cause damage to the monument, even in areas where the conservation of internal surfaces is underway and where work has already been completed.
Considering the importance and urgency of limiting the percolation of water into the monument, in order to reduce the risk of compromising the conservation work already undertaken, the continuation of planned interventions and the potential opening of a limited area of the monument to visitors, we are in the process of laying a drainage layer on the surface of the park above the Domus Aurea.
The aim of this intervention is to significantly reduce the intensity of surface water percolation rapidly and at modest expense before the autumn rains that usually affect Rome in the first third of November.
We aim to achieve this objective by draining the surface waters in a way that does not hinder or endanger the work underway in the park.
We believe that draining 50% of rainwater is sufficient to re-establish a degree of security, or at least to slow down the decay of structures and paintings sufficiently for the definitive project, in the form of the Integrated Protection System, to be "in time".
Drainage will be achieved by laying a geocomposite in a channel just over 4 metres wide, at the centre of which will be a drainage tube supported by gravel, with a gradient of 0.5%. The drainage geocomposite and the tube will be buried by the earth dug out, so as to ensure that the surface is passable as at present, allowing spontaneous plants to grow.
The depth of the geocomposite varies from a minimum of 20 cm to a maximum of 80 cm, whilst that of the drainage tube ranges from a minimum of 0.50 to a maximum of 1.20 metres. The tube will have a diameter of 160 mm for the first 20 metres and subsequently of 200 mm; it will flow into the park's sewer system.
The purpose of the geocomposite is to drain and filter rainwater. It consists of a three-dimensional polyamide core, heat-treated to give it a v-shape configuration, particularly suited to resisting the confining pressures exerted by the surrounding soil, enclosed in two non-woven heat-sealed filters integral with the drainage core. The geocomposite chosen has a vertical transmissivity (hydraulic gradient i = 1) at 20 kPa of no less than 2.5 l/s m (equal to 9000 l/hm).
Rainwater seeps into the ground vertically. When it meets the drainage geocomposite it will tend to flow into it, as the resistance to motion is several degrees of magnitude lower than the surrounding soil, where a small quantity of water will nonetheless remain. The water will thus drain away inside the geocomposite until it reaches the drainage pipe that channels the water towards the sewer system. The route of the drainage pipe may run through highly permeable soils or soils with voids or fractures, where the water collected may percolate downwards, thus compromising drainage and making the concentration of water created by the drainage process dangerous. To avoid this, a geosynthetic liner with an impermeable outer membrane will be laid next to and underneath the drainage pipe, so as to form a waterproof channel through which water can pass only in the direction of the pipe before being discharged into the sewer. Building this system over the 16,000 m2 of the Oppian Hill above the Domus has a high cost in terms of time and expenditure. We have thus opted for a compromise, implementing these drainage systems over about 20% of the surface. However, the system can be extended to complement the work already carried out without compromising its effectiveness.
Drainage far exceeding 20% of surface water can be achieved by adopting some expedients such as digging a dense network of small drainage channels about 7 metres long, with a slope of 1%, a depth of 20 cm and a very low side gradient of 1/3 (18°). These small channels, which will not hinder movements on the surface, will run into the main drainage system; where the two systems meet small drainage pipes will be placed crosswise in the main channel to facilitate the capture of the waters collected on the surface.
These expedients will allow us to capture more rainwater, especially during very heavy and prolonged rains.
We should also consider that when large quantities of water are not captured by these systems, soaking the soil and thus creating a suspended water table, when the latter comes into contact with the underneath of the geocomposite it will be drained away. In this case, the system behaves like a drainage ditch.
All these considerations allow us to estimate that over 50% of rainwater will be drained away, especially during heavy and prolonged rains, which represent the greatest danger.
Finally, we should stress that not using waterproof sheaths helps transpiration and prevents the soil rotting, since it remains naturally aerated as before the implementation of the system; the capillary fringe is not significantly affected.
The drainage system is subdivided into 14 drainage channels positioned so that progress in building the 22 drainage basins belonging to the Definitive Project does not compromise the effectiveness of the channels not directly affected by this work.
The quantity of water drained by each channel will be measured to evaluate the efficiency of the drainage system.
Work has already begun and is scheduled for completion by the end of this October.

Archaeological soundings on the vaults of trajanic galleries 20a and 20b
In September-November 2012, we carried out an archaeological sounding in the sector of the Oppian Hill park above the outer surface of Trajanic Galleries 20A and 20B. The study was aimed at understanding the external layout and construction features of the ancient vaults, with a view both to reconstructing the missing parts and to defining the new external protection system for the monument. Below we publish the preliminary results of the archaeological study.

- Research on the lower storey of the Domus Aurea
- Topographical and archaeological recordings
Update on Works in Room 41
As already described in our article of 14 December 2012, Room 41 immediately seemed a particularly representative example of the numerous problems affecting the Neronian complex of the Domus.

- The conservation of room 34
- An inspection of the great Cryptoporticus and Vasari's account

It is of real importance for all those who, like us, are concerned for the Domus Aurea and its vegetation, respectively a unique and irreplaceable archaeological heritage and a magnificent natural heritage, to discuss the difficult relationship between these two features in the park on the Oppian Hill.
Workshop 18 November 2014. Brief Summary
Recently the Domus Aurea has gained significant visibility with a series of public events at which it was present.
18 November saw the Domus Aurea Project Workshop, organized by us in collaboration with the German Archaeological Institute in Rome: large numbers of people participated in both the morning and the afternoon sessions.
During the morning session, presided by Prof. Fulvio Cairoli Giuliani, Fedora Filippi, Director of the monument, gave a paper on the overall rehabilitation project, an appraisal of 5 years of hard work. A brief survey of the monument's institutional history highlighted the fact that on several occasions during the past century and the start of this century rehabilitation projects were begun, aimed particularly at resolving the problems of decay caused by the percolation of water from the park above, without ever succeeding in achieving this objective. This time, noted Fedora Filippi after outlining the data on the works and the choices made, we have a definitive project to replace the current park with an integrated protection system, to be completed in four years… the Domus can make it, it is surrounded by experts who have studied its behaviour and structural peculiarities in depth, developed a plan for intervention and a uniform methodology; this is an asset that must be preserved, enhanced and extended. If this work is not completed the benefits of the investments in consolidating the interior of the structure will soon be lost. The paper ended with the hope that this monument, that gave something of itself to the Italian Renaissance, will itself be reborn. We have a duty to give the Domus Aurea back the light it needs if it is to continue to produce cultural value (this, and no other, is its lofty mission), but above all to give it back the dignity of its historical authenticity.
Heinz Beste, an architect from the German Archaeological Institute in Rome who has collaborated with the project since 2006 with a research convention, discussed the graphic documentation, essential if work to rehabilitate the ancient architecture is to be carried out correctly. He demonstrated the recording techniques adopted, exploiting the new potential offered by instrumental recordings in parallel with traditional recordings based on the crucial direct observation of the structure. Over the past few years, we have worked hard to define correctly the topographical layout of both the interior and exterior of the monument, both in the known ancient levels and in relation to the current urban context. All these activities were necessary both to define individual consolidation projects inside the monument, on both its structures and the decorations on its surfaces, and to design the new Integrated Protection System. Naturally, a new and increasingly detailed understanding of the monument is of fundamental importance from a purely academic point of view as well. This demonstrates, once again, that processes of safeguard and conservation are inextricably linked to our understanding of ancient monuments and that both are connected to enhancement.
During the morning, we also presented a technical report on the Project for the Integrated Protection System and the New Sustainable Park.
Sandro Massa, responsible for the physical design process, illustrated the thermo-hygrometric study and the results of the various tests carried out. Vincenzo Angeloro dealt with the technological, hydrological and hydraulic problems of the System whilst Gabriella Strano illustrated the methodological, historical and landscaping choices governing the project for the new park: on the one hand it completes the Integrated Protection System and on the other restores public perception of the connections between the two ancient monuments, the Domus Aurea and the Baths of Trajan through its design.
During the afternoon, the workshop tackled the more general issue of the conservation problems of underground monuments. This discussion was of enormous interest, in part for the large amount of information shared and the experience brought to the table by the directors of monumental complexes dealing with the difficulties deriving from their underground condition and the presence of decorations.
Sandro Massa introduced the topic from a general methodological point of view with a series of examples and experiences, including negative ones, in funerary contexts in Italy, Egypt and the East.
Gisella Capponi, Director of the Istituto superiore per il restauro illustrated, on behalf of the group of specialists who participated, the conservation work on two rooms in the Domus Aurea, started in the 1980s to test the effects of hermetic closure from the outside.
Rita Volpe, Sovraintendenza Capitolina per i Beni Culturali, discussed the problems, very similar to those of the Domus Aurea, in the sector underneath the large exhedra in the Baths of Trajan where extremely important remains of decorated rooms have come to light with both frescoed surfaces and walls covered with mosaics.
Ida Sciortino presented the conservation work completed by SSBAR in the Underground Basilica at Porta Maggiore, an extraordinary complex with 1st-century stucco decorations, where serious problems caused by outdoor pollution, the presence of the railway and radon, a gas that develops in underground spaces and whose levels most be controlled, were resolved.
Barbara Mazzei, Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology, gave an interesting general paper on the conservation problems of Christian catacombs and on the various solutions adopted, with special reference both to climate issues and the consolidation of the tufa rock into which the underground rooms were dug.
Marian Magnani Cianetti, SSBAR Architect, illustrated the rehabilitation and enhancement project for the Jewish catacombs at Villa Torlonia, with reference both to issues specific to consolidation and to the problems concerning the insertion of the complex inside a historic park.
Pietro Zander, Archaeologist at the Fabbrica di San Pietro in the Vatican, concluded with an interesting paper on the Vatican necropolis, focusing on the conservation problems of this extraordinary complex, located beneath various structural layers covering thousands of years that make up St Peter's Basilica, one of the world's most visited and frequented places.

Blackand White Fall Table
Since I still had the black tablecloth on the table from the Halloween decor, I decided to set a Black and White fall table with my white pumpkins.
The salad plates have a black border with fruit design and the white dinner plates have an embossed edge with oak leaves and acorns, but it doesn't show well in the picture.
The black napkins are tucked under the white plates and over the chargers, but they also don't show up very well.
It is really chilly and windy tonight and we have had some rain but no snow yet. It has been a strange fall. We don't usually get this much snow so early in the season.
Happy Fall Y'all,
As PM said above, "STUNNING!"
I was first going to say the 'eye-catcher was those GORGEOUS pumpkin bowls on the GORGEOUS salad plate ...but then I see that my eyes were actually first drawn to the GORGEOUS trio of white pumpkins in the centerpc w/the Baby's Breath!!!
And then I thought, it's all the SILVER accessory color that makes it so GORGEOUS ... but the black t'cloth creates such a striking backgrd which makes the whole t'scape JUST simply GORGEOUS!!! And the crystal stemware & the lil' white placesetting candle/&holder also add to the GORGEOUS aspect of your t'scape!
So, besides, STUNNING, I think your B&W Fall Table is simply GORGEOUS! (that's in case you hadn't figured that out yet!) LOL! TFS, candy! Jeanne S.
Thanks Karen, When you have as many TS dishes as I do, it is pretty easy to "whip" out another table. In fact, all of the plates, the CP pumpkins, the tablecloth and napkins, the black bead placemat under the pumpkins, the votive bowls, and the candles are TS treasures. The pumpkin bowls were from Home Goods last year, the little
S & P's are heirloom, as is the big silver candlestick. The silverware is my everyday, and the Baby's Breath is saved and dried from floral bouquets over the years. The goblets are DT.
Jeanne, Thank you. Black and white just lends itself to drama/stunning. It would be pretty with fall colors, but not as dramatic. The hardest part was getting all of the "spiderweb" off of the black, LOL
Punk, You are all so sweet. As long as I can stand on the chair, the candyshots on this table are easy. On the dining room is a different story.
Thanks again, everybody.
Candy...what a nice change for a Fall Table.
It all looks just elegant!
The B&W combination is so different.
I love how you layered those beautiful salad
plates to the white embossed plates
and added the white pumpkins to top it all off.
Even the lovely flatware you chose adds to the simple elegance of each setting.
Very nicely done!

Giles MacDonogh: What Happened to Europe?tags: France, Europe, Germany, European Union, Giles MacDonogh, IHT
Giles MacDonogh is the author of several books on European history, including "After the Reich." He is currently working on "Hitler's Germany: A Social History of the Third Reich."
It all looked like a pretty good idea in 1951: A world war had come to an end only six years earlier and a cold one followed in its wake. Old enemies were about to become new friends.
The first step was barter. Instead of milking the defeated nation's resources — the ancient way of war — they could be shared: You have coal, we have steel; we'll swap. This fair trade was at the heart of the Treaty of Paris, the beginning of the European Coal and Steel Community, the seed that became the mighty European Union....
It has now been 68 years since the end of World War II, and in Western and Central Europe at least, peace has reigned for the longest period in modern history — trouncing the calm that ran from Waterloo to the Crimean War by nearly two decades.
It would be a pity to forget a century of good, hard work or the 60 years we have spent burying our differences and throw it all away at the toss of a coin.

First time planting in 5-1-1
I recently planted a lemon tree into the 5-1-1 mix and I don't know if my bark pieces are too big. I was unable to find composted bark fines so I screened a bag of soil conditioner with a 1/2 inch screen (it's all I had) so I think some of my bark is a bit too big. Anyway, here's a picture.
I had the same problem the pine bark I bought is too big and I could not find a fine one. I searched HD, LOWS and our local farm store. I planted an orange trees in it any way. The orange tree was very sad and droping leaves. I pulled out from that mix and used perlite, humus, moss, cow manure and sand all in equal amounts. I think my tree is doing fine now after 3 weeks or re-potting.This combination is draining very well. I know that citrus flourish in the sahara desert and the soil is nothing but sand. The roots get lots of air in the sand.
I actually did not include either lime or peat but did include perlite (not pictured). My reasoning for leaving out the lime was (1) that I have a fertilizer w/ Ca and Mg (Foliage Pro* - I am using 1/4 teaspoon/gallon each time I water) and (2) I noticed a lot of people were watering their citrus with vinegar added so it seemed counter intuitive to raise pH of the mix. I left out the peat because I have the tree inside for the winter and didn't think there would be a problem with water retention - my understanding is that the peat is there to hold water. I did save the really fine pieces of the soil conditioner, thinking that I could add those when I set the plant out for the summer. Do you think I will have any problems because of the changes I made?
*This reminds me of another question - Do you, or anyone else, find the need to alter your fertilizer program during the year? For instance, X tea/gal during the winter but Y tea/gal during summer.
The Lime slightly raises the pH of the mix, which is typically low from the bark.
You might notice fertility issues - a yellowing or pale plant, weak new growth, leaf-loss.
Without the Lime, many folks have difficulty meeting the nutrient demands of the plant.
Adding Vinegar to fertigation solution is about making nutrients available in a target range.
Peat isn't merely for water retention; it also *binds* the bark and perlite, which allows
for moisture to wick and equalize throughout the mix, which in turn makes for more uniform
drying from top to bottom. A pot of bark will hold nearly as much moisture as a pot full of peat.
Each ingredients brings something to the table, as it were, and it's best to understand the
principles, the concepts, behind the ingredients before modifying the recipe.
Fertilizer strength is typically reduced during the Winter, and some people even give their
trees a 'break' for a period of time. Someone else would have to advise on that, though.
Hey, Mike!
I like Turface for moisture retention and binding in some of my mixes, too.
The only issue I've found is that the smaller Turface will want to migrate lower
into a container, and so it's important to keep the ingredients properly distributed
when potting up a plant.
I screen with 1/16 insect screen, as well.
But the Turface particles are still the smallest ingredient, and as such they migrate
between the larger bark and perlite pieces, which can lead to a perched water layer in the lower
inches of the pot.
I don't know if you'll have these issues or not, but you can always stuff a wick into a drainage
hole to drain off any excess water.

Oscar-Winning Sound Editors Per Hallberg, Karen Baker Landers Joining Formosa Group (Exclusive)
The pair -- who together won Oscars for "Skyfall" and "The Bourne Ultimatum" -- previously spent nearly 28 years with the Todd Soundelux business under various owners and monikers.
Per Hallberg and Karen Baker Landers -- supervising sound editors who together won Oscars for Skyfall and The Bourne Ultimatum -- are joining Formosa Group, the postproduction sound company started earlier this year in West Hollywood.
The pair had been with the Todd Soundelux business (under various owners and monikers) for nearly 28 years, and they have been working together for 25 years with shared supervising sound editor credits on films including G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Ray, Seabiscuit, Black Hawk Down and Gladiator. They have received seven Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) Golden Reel Awards out of 27 nominations and three BAFTA Awards out of six nominations.

Hallberg additionally received an Oscar for best effects, sound effects editing for Braveheart (shared with Lon Bender) and an Oscar nomination for best effects, sound effects editing for Face/Off (shared with Formosa Group's Mark Stoeckinger).
Baker Landers holds the distinction of being the first woman to win two Oscars for sound editing. She recently completed Carrie and is finishing RoboCop; she will soon move to Formosa Group.
Hallberg's latest credits include Into the Storm and Delivery Man, and his first film at Formosa Group will be Child 44.
The pair join Formosa Group's roster of sound veterans, including Stoeckinger, Odin Benitez, Scott M. Gershin, Greg Hedgepath, Andy Koyama, Mark Mangini, Julian Slater, Todd Toon and Martyn Zub.
