Release of fluorocarbons from insulation foam in home appliances during shredding
ABSTRACT It is a current practice that refrigerators and freezers in many countries are shredded after the end of useful lives. The shredder residue is deposited in landfills. During the shredding process a significant fraction of blowing agent (BA) in the insulation foam may be released into the atmosphere. The objective of this study is to determine the fraction of BA released from foam during shredding, by comparing the BA content in insulation foam of refrigerator units before shredding with the BA content of shredded foam. All foam samples analyzed were manufactured with trichlorofluoromethane [CFC-11 (CCl3F)] as BA. The average content of BA in the insulation foam from eight U.S. refrigerator units manufactured before 1993 was found to be 14.9% +/- 3.3% w/w. Several refrigerator units also identified as being manufactured before 1993 were stockpiled and shredded at three shredder facilities, of which one was operated in both wet and dry modes. The selected shredder facilities represent typical American facilities for shredding automobiles, refrigerators, freezers, and other iron containing waste products. Shredded material was collected and separated on location into four particle size categories: more than 32 mm, 16-32 mm, 8-16 mm, and 0-8 mm. Adjusting for sample purity, it was found that the majority (>81%) of the foam mass was shredded into particles larger than 16 mm. The smallest size fraction of foam (0-8 mm) was found to contain significantly less BA than the larger size categories, showing that up to 68% +/- 4% of the BA is released from these fine particles during the shredding process. Because only a minor fraction of the foam is shredded into particles smaller than 8 mm, this has a minor impact on the end result when calculating the total BA release from the shredding process. Comparing BA content in shredded samples from the three shredder facilities with the measured average BA content of the eight refrigerator units, it was found that on average 24.2% +/- 7.5% of the initial BA content is released during the shredding process.
Article: Italian WEEE management system and treatment of end-of-life cooling and freezing equipments for CFCs removal[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study presents and analyzes the data of the Italian system for take-back and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipments (WEEEs) in the start-up period 2008-2010. The analysis was focused particularly on the data about the treatment of end-of-life cooling and freezing equipments. In fact, the wastes of cooling and freezing equipments have a high environmental impact. Indeed, in their compressor oil and insulation polyurethane (PU) foams chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) ozone-depleting gases are still present. In the period 2001-2004 Northern Italy resulted the main source in Europe of CFCs. The European Directive on WEEE management was enacted in 2002, but in Italy it was implemented by the legislative Decree in 2005 and it became operational in 2008. Actually, in 2008 the national WEEE Coordination Centre was founded in order to organize the WEEE pick-up process and to control collection, recovery and recycling targets. As a result, in 2010 the average WEEE collection per capita exceeded the threshold of more than 4kg per inhabitant, as well as cooling and freezing appliances represented more than one fourth of the Italian WEEE collection stream. During the treatment of end-of-life cooling and freezing equipments, CFCs were recovered and disposed principally by burner methods. The analyses of defined specimens collected in the treatment facilities were standardized to reliably determine the amount of recovered CFCs. Samples of alkaline solid salt, alkaline saline solution, polyurethane matrix and compressor oil collected during the audit assessment procedure were analyzed and the results were discussed. In particular, the analysis of PU samples after the shredding and the warm pressing procedures measured a residual CFCs content around 500-1300mg/kg of CFCs within the foam matrix.Waste Management 04/2013; 33(6).

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to predict the number of refrigerators containing CFC-11 blown isolation foam and the amount of CFC-11 banked in these refrigerators. By using a Weibull-based survival function, the number of CFC-11 containing and still-functioning refrigerators was estimated to be approximately 1.6 million in 2013 in Turkey. In order to determine the amount of CFC-11 in the isolation foam of these refrigerators, polyurethane (PU) foam samples were taken from a refrigerator manufactured in 1993 and the quantity of CFC-11 was analyzed by a GC-MS. It was determined that 113-195mg CFC-11/g PU remains in the PU foam depending on the location such as door, sides, top and bottom. Knowing that a mid-sized refrigerator contains 4kg PU on average, the total amount of PU foam to be disposed of is 6344tons when the CFC-11 containing refrigerators in Turkey become obsolete in the near future. Furthermore, 717-1237tons of CFC-11 are expected to be banked in the PU foam of these refrigerators which will exert an equivalent amount of ozone depleting potential (ODP). In addition, the global warming potential will vary between 3.4 and 5.9 milliontons of CO2.Waste Management 10/2013; 34(1). DOI:10.1016/j.wasman.2013.09.008 · 3.16 Impact Factor
Article: Release and fate of fluorocarbons in a shredder residue landfill cell: 2. Field investigations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The shredder residues from automobiles, home appliances and other metal containing products are often disposed in landfills, as recycling technologies for these materials are not common in many countries. Shredder waste contains rigid and soft foams from cushions and insulation panels blown with fluorocarbons. The objective of this study was to determine the gas composition, attenuation, and emission of fluorocarbons in a monofill shredder residue landfill cell by field investigation. Landfill gas generated within the shredder waste primarily consisted of CH(4) (27%) and N(2) (71%), without CO(2), indicating that the gas composition was governed by chemical reactions in combination with anaerobic microbial reactions. The gas generated also contained different fluorocarbons (up to 27 μg L(-1)). The presence of HCFC-21 and HCFC-31 indicated that anaerobic degradation of CFC-11 occurred in the landfill cell, as neither of these compounds has been produced for industrial applications. This study demonstrates that a landfill cell containing shredder waste has a potential for attenuating CFC-11 released from polyurethane (PUR) insulation foam in the cell via aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation processes. In deeper, anaerobic zones of the cell, reductive dechlorination of CFCs to HCFCs was evident, while in the shallow, oxic zones, there was a high potential for biooxidation of both methane and lesser chlorinated fluorocarbons. These findings correlated well with both laboratory results (presented in a companion paper) and surface emission measurements that, with the exception from a few hot spots, indicated that surface emissions were negative or below detection.Waste Management 05/2010; 30(11):2163-9.

Press Release |
Mercadona Realizes Its 4th Distribution Center With WITRON's OPM System
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) -- At the end of December 2008, WITRON Logistik + Informatik was awarded the order for the design and realization of a distribution center for the Spanish supermarket chain Mercadona at its location in Leon (North Spain). Leon is planned to supply up to 170 stores in the future. As with Mercadona's three other WITRON-designed distribution centers, Leon will also be equipped with WITRON's OPM (Order Picking Machinery) and DPS (Dynamic Picking System) modular picking systems. Mercadona is considered the most expansive grocery retailer in Spain. It has 60,000 employees and operates 1,210 stores, with an annual turnover of approx. 14 billion Euros in 2007. The system in Leon is composed of a 28-aisle tray warehouse with 176,500 locations. In the future, some 146,000 cases will be picked each day with 16 COM machines onto load carriers. Picking will be fully automated without human intervention, resulting in store-friendly order pallets free from any pick errors. A DPS system with 6,800 locations and 6 workstations will pick an additional 9,000 small volume trading units. The Leon DC also includes the unique ability to pick half pallets for certain stores using the same AS/RS cranes that handle standard sized pallets. All orders from the different picking areas are consolidated prior to shipping. An 18-aisle pallet high bay warehouse with approx. 18,000 locations supplies the OPM and DPS system with articles. The HBW allows for the automated picking of full and half pallets at the same time. Leon's entire article range covers some 5,900 different products from Mercadona's dry goods assortment. With this project, Mercadona and WITRON are continuing their successful partnership that started in 2004. WITRON has already realized two distribution centers for Mercadona's dry goods assortment and temperature-controlled products in Ciempozuelos (near Madrid) working with the OPM and DPS solution. Another OPM system for frozen goods is up and running in Ribarroja (near Valencia). When Leon reaches productive use in mid 2010, Mercadona will have a total of 98 operating COM machines across 4 DCs handling dry, fresh, and frozen goods. The projects realized since 2004 are a clear message of Mercadona's satisfaction with WITRON, and proof of the efficiency, flexibility and consistent availability of the OPM and DPS systems.

Does the toast fall butter side down? Up?
Because now we can levitate the bloody piece of toast >:3
OMG...levitation and invisibility cloaks.
Welcome back Ish, very interesting.
i want a levitating wheel chair,AND CHANGE MY NAME TO XAVIER,DOCTOR XAVIER!
can it make me fly?!
Mmmmm... Buttaraed Toassth....
The force he is dealing with, seems to only happen when the distance between objects are extremely small, so I think they could make you fly.. about 10 nanometer ( the HIV Virus size 90 nm ) thats 9x bigger -.-
Ways to go we have, and I bet thats not the right way.. maybe for computers and stuff, but not for levitation.
And Just trying to post the thread, I thought 2 things
1) Death ray
2) Blackhole
The death ray, would be because what they are doing is simply make an atom repel another, they could theorectly make a ray that would make the atoms in your body repel each other, ripping you appart in a very bloody way!
You would implode!
The and the blackhole wormhole.. I just thought on some freak accident that someone will make in the future and will rip open one of thoses.. suckin good part of us..
It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's someone wearing ridiculous objects to fly...
Either pretty cool.
that be great if i can fly!!! fly in the window of my girl every night!!!!

- •The Phytophthora sojae genome encodes hundreds of RxLR effectors predicted to manipulate various plant defense responses, but the molecular mechanisms involved are largely unknown. Here we have characterized in detail the P. sojae RxLR effector Avh241.
- •To determine the function and localization of Avh241, we transiently expressed it on different plants. Silencing of Avh241 in P. sojae, we determined its virulence during infection. Through the assay of promoting infection by Phytophthora capsici to Nicotiana benthamiana, we further confirmed this virulence role.
- •Avh241 induced cell death in several different plants and localized to the plant plasma membrane. An N-terminal motif within Avh241 was important for membrane localization and cell death-inducing activity. Two mitogen-activated protein kinases, NbMEK2 and NbWIPK, were required for the cell death triggered by Avh241 in N. benthamiana. Avh241 was important for the pathogen's full virulence on soybean. Avh241 could also promote infection by P. capsici and the membrane localization motif was not required to promote infection.
- •This work suggests that Avh241 interacts with the plant immune system via at least two different mechanisms, one recognized by plants dependent on subcellular localization and one promoting infection independent on membrane localization.

7 Women Shortchanged: Personal Stories of the Gender Pay Gap
Venue Details
The damage done by the thousands of dollars I lost to the gender pay gap sticks with me today, despite leaving that employer long ago. My retirement fund isn't as robust, and I took out more in graduate student loans than I would have if I'd been paid fairly. I've been shortchanged by the gender pay gap — and I'm far from alone.
I know this from statistics — the pay gap costs a typical woman at least $400,000 over the course of her career — and because of women who bravely share their stories of unfair pay in hopes of creating change ahead. Here are seven of these women's stories.
The Design Supervisor Who Made Less than the Employees She Managed
Kerri Sleeman worked for five years at a company that designed, built, and installed laser welding assembly systems. When she was hired, Sleeman said company officials told her they didn't negotiate pay. In 2003, the company was forced into bankruptcy and employees had to go through bankruptcy court for their final paychecks. When Sleeman looked at the court's list of claims, she was heartbroken. People she had supervised had larger claims for two weeks of pay than she did.
The Engineer Who Lost More than $1 Million in Earnings
Cheryl Hughes was a divorced mother of two when she began to pursue an engineering degree in 1982. She dealt with an overwhelming male majority in the field and found a balance between motherhood and being a student, but she couldn't overcome pay inequity. Hughes said she lost more than $1 million in earnings throughout her career as an engineer because she is an African American woman.
The Educator Whose Pay Was Determined by Both Her Gender and Marital Status
When Maxine Lampe started her career as a teacher in the early 1970s, the school district refused to give her the head-of-household pay that men received — even though Lampe was the sole earner while her husband was in graduate school. Later, Lampe went into public school administration and found once again that her gender — and marital status — was a factor in her pay. While trying to negotiate her salary, one of the board members told her, "You don't need as much pay because your husband is a professor and you have enough money."
The Future Law Student Told to Give Up Her Dream
Reshma Daniel's parents moved to America from India with just $20. Her parents wanted their children to live the American dream. For Daniel, that means law school. While at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, she majored in legal studies and job shadowed a family lawyer. Following a pretrial hearing, another lawyer, a Vietnamese woman, told Daniel that she should not become a lawyer. "She was like, 'You won't get paid. As a woman and of color, you're going to be underpaid, so there's really no point,'" Daniel recalled.
The Graduate Student and Former Technician Who Didn't Realize You Could Negotiate
Anastasia Engebretson accepted the salary offered to her in her first job out of college. She didn't know she could negotiate. She found when she arrived for work as a technician that a few men with less education and less relevant experience had negotiated for more pay. "I have a bachelor's degree in physics," Engebretson said. "This guy who hadn't gone to college and couldn't do mental math was getting paid more."
The Lab Technician Who Stood Up against Pay Discrimination
Ellie Setser and her female colleagues in a research lab at a teaching hospital fought pay discrimination in the late 1970s. The technicians in Setser's lab were all women with college degrees. They learned that a male head technician without a degree — working in a much smaller lab with less responsibility — earned a salary 1.5 times larger than the female head technician in Setser's lab. The women banded together and called in anonymous complaints to a U.S. Department of Justice pay discrimination hotline. To their surprise, an investigation — and pay raises — followed.
The Math Consultant Fighting for a Woman's Worth
Aileen Rizo works as a math consultant at a California county office that supports dozens of school districts. After three years on the job, she said she learned over lunch that a man just hired as a math consultant had started at a much higher salary. After trying unsuccessfully to work out the disparity with human resources, Rizo filed a lawsuit because of her two young daughters. "I don't want another girl to feel after she's worked so hard that she's not worth the same as the man sitting next to her," Rizo said.

Dear friends..
I have some questions about Tapco AK parts.. hope dont mind me asking. As im new to AK.
Seen Tapco products but i dont know what these are or the functions.
1. Retaining plate.
2. Gas piston
3. Grip screw & bushing.
Should i change those parts? Improve its performance? In Glocks, most of the aftermarket parts are meant to make our life easier. Just like extended slide level, ext slide release, ext mag release etc. So please educate me about AK. Currently im still waiting for my CIA Romanian Wasr AK47 from impactguns. Will be receiving it next week.
Thx for the inputs. Maybe please throw in some ideas of what parts need to be replaced or upgraded beside the furniture. Thank you!

Here is a pic borrowed from impact guns of a CIA Romanian WASR
This is a converted gun (and should be similar to yours. It will already have those two parts.
Here is a pic borrowed from classic arms of an unconverted Saiga.
Note the postion of the trigger group in relation to the back of the 10 rd mag (also, no room for pistol grip).
If your gun is like this - then yes, you would need those parts (and also the Tapco trigger group too).
Wow. Those are useful infos for me. Thx guys. Appreciated.
Yeah finally got my Arsenal Saiga AK47 last friday. Much way more expensive than my first plan which was the CIA Wasr. But hey.. this Arsenal is smooth and well built. Shoot so accurate out of the box. Will post pics when i'm done putting accessories on it

what kind of paint to use on a fiber glass wood grain entry door?
I stopped by homedepot and the guy said he's not sure (ha? what?)
Do I just use the exterior paint (for outside of the house), or is there some special type for door?
should it be sprayed, brushed, or rolled?
Home Depot clerks aren't exactly the best place to ask a painting question, but hey at least he didn't lie and give you some answer that would have been his best guess. You should use 100 percent acrylic paint, exterior paint for the exterior side and interior paint for the interior side. You can find paints that are rated for both exterior and interior as well. I would use at least a satin sheen so that the door is durable and somewhat washable when you are done. You can spray, brush or roll, whatever your choice. I usually roll them with small mohair rollers or whiizzies. It's too much effort setting up the sprayer for one door IMO.
I went to Sherwin Williams and the guy there said he doesn't know also (ha? what?)
Happen to go to another Homedepot. This time the guy there said should use pray paint bottle like Rust-Oleum. Really? I am quite confused.
can this type be used?

As anyone who's been following news reports on the immigration reform bill now knows, a major agreement on the bill has been reached in the U.S. Senate, and its border enforcement provisions have changed dramatically.
You might be wondering where the ACLU stands on the revised bill now. The short answer is that we support most of it—especially the path to citizenship—and we encourage senators to pass the bill with further changes that will improve its impact on civil liberties.
The long answer is more complicated. Congress has a lot of work to do for the bill to come close to being entirely positive from a civil liberties perspective. For example, LGBT couples do not have the same rights as straight couples in immigration proceedings, and we remain concerned about the inclusion of a mandatory employment verification system. Under the best case scenario, this system will result in hundreds of thousands of workers being forced to visit government offices before they can get approval to work while doing little to stop unscrupulous employers who currently hire workers under the table. The bill takes significant steps toward a "cardless" national ID system which could be used to track and limit Americans' movements and activities.
Yet, there is much to applaud in the bill:
The ACLU is proud to have been a part of the coalition that fought for these meaningful, albeit imperfect, compromises, because they will make a real, substantive difference in the civil liberties and civil rights of millions of people.
But the legislation took a deeply troublesome turn last week on its way to the Senate floor. Changes were made to the bill at the eleventh hour that meddled with what was already an unprecedented expansion of border enforcement in the base bill and increased it to obscene levels. These expenditures are wasteful, unnecessary and lack government oversight or accountability, and they put everyone who lives, travels, and works near the border at risk.
The war on terror and the war on drugs have taught our country the perils of unnecessary spending that often leads to unprecedented militarization and civil liberties violations, with little oversight. Unfortunately, the new Senate agreement, which incorporates negotiations spearheaded by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and John Hoeven (R-N.D.), seems destined to repeat these same mistakes on our own border and in our own border communities. Last year, House Appropriations Committee Chair Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) warned, about spending at the southwest border, that "a sort of mini industrial complex syndrome [] has set in there, and we're going to have to guard against it every step of the way." Instead of heeding this alarm, the Senate agreement and those members who cavalierly extol the number of "boots on the ground and drones in the air" that the militarization achieves have doubled down on waste.
The so-called surge will inevitably exacerbate civil liberties violations that the ACLU and other organizations have for years identified as characteristic of Customs and Border Protection operations, including excessive uses of force and racial profiling. Even Sen. Corker calls his own proposal "almost overkill," and we fully support objections to its changes, including from our border affiliates representing their coalitions and communities. The amendment comes at a time when there is ample evidence that the southwest border is more secure than it has ever been, with some of America's safest cities. Border apprehensions are at a nadir, approaching levels not seen for forty years. Despite this evidence that our country does not need more border security, however, the new agreement, estimated to cost $46 billion, would throw unprecedented resources at the southwest border, including:
This border enforcement buildup will be costly. For border security alone, it amounts to triple the money currently spent annually on all border security and immigration enforcement, which already exceeds how much is spent on all principal federal law enforcement agencies combined. The Senate agreement will come at enormous cost to our southwest border communities, especially their brown and black residents, who are already being devastated by a Border Patrol that routinely engages in racial profiling and uses excessive and even deadly force, including against U.S. citizens.
So, while the ACLU continues to support the overall immigration reform bill, you can understand how we do so with great reluctance. We find the border militarization changes added to it at the eleventh hour to be wasteful, irrational, and objectionable. But the votes this week in the Senate are not the endgame: The U.S. House still needs to act, and then both the House and Senate need to come to a final agreement. Over the coming weeks and possibly months, we will pursue every avenue to have the problematic new border surge language removed, and to make other civil liberties improvements, before the bill heads to President Obama's desk.

build an arbor
hogan_njMarch 8, 2012
I want to build an arbor. I got sticker shock when I went to lumber yard. One 2x6x8 stick of cedar was $50. I need 16 of them plus 2x4s and costs of other materials. I love cedar but it is just out of price range.
Is there any other choice besides pressure treated pine? My budget is around $500-$600

"We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late… We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is deaf to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residue of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: 'Too late.'"
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
- I have accepted a new postdoctoral position at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität in Freiburg, Germany, in the Department of Biometry and Environmental Systems Analysis under the supervision of Dr. Carsten Dormann.
- New paper, developing methods for climate change velocity algorithms for conservation and management, accepted for publication in Global Change Biology.
- The AdaptWest data repository now contains a variety of climate and other derived landscape data, including some velocity of climate change metrics, related to the research I am doing at UofA.
My research:
I currently study the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems: past, present, and future. Over the last two million years, the evolution of North American tree species, subspecies, and genetic varieties has taken place in a constantly changing landscape often dominated by extensive ice sheets and restricted temperate climate environments. I employ species distribution models (ecological niche models) to reconstruct past and project future tree species distributions throughout western North America, using patterns of past species distribution and migrations to inform conservation and management expectations under climate change scenarios. I also look at how variable velocities of climate change (movement of similar climatic environments across the landscape) may affect forest ecosystems and genetic populations. More detail here.

From June 1964 to March 1973, the United States dropped at least two million tons of bombs on the small, landlocked Southeast Asian country.

omayyad mosque, Damascus
9 Reviews
9 Reviews
Favorite thing:
Clean your feet, wash your sins...get ready to met God, get ready to pray Him...
How to describe that feelings i felt?You understand me, always. No more secret between us, no more lies...the dirty is clean, now.
Fondest memory:
My steps, following yours, my shoes in my hands
for the first time in my life i walked in such a place
never i felt so light never i felt so happy
belonging you it was like suddendly
all the answers were clear
Favorite thing: Another photo of the Omayyad mosque. The language school I was studying at took us here on a school outing, and our teacher showed us things we would otherwise have missed, like the tomb of Hussain(I think), and also told us that the mosaics in this mosque contain more colours than any Greek mosaics.
Favorite thing:
see the Omayyad Mosque. Even though it is fast becoming a busy tourist site, it is still very impressive. My Muslim friends have described praying there as being something like an exhibit in a zoo though...and watch out for pickpockets and shoe snatchers!
Another mosque often missed by tourists is the Sayyida Ruqqaya, just around the corner from the coffeehouses next to the Omayyad Mosque(just follow the hordes of elderly Iranian pilgrims). It is a fairly new mosque financed by the Iranian government, and contains the shrine of Ruqqaya, the grand-daughter of Hussain (correct me if this is wrong!). Women need to cover their hair(not with a plastic bag, as some tourists have tried!), and you will be given a brown cloak to wear inside. In the Omayyad Mosque, it is best to carry your shoes inside with you (you might have noticed the shoe stalls just outside - hmmm...wonder where they get them from?!!!) - don't put them on the floor though! In Sayyida Ruqqaya, there is a counter where you can swap your shoes for a ticket. Inside, men should follow the men, and women should follow the women, as the shrine area is segregated.
Fondest memory: The food - I used to eat with the family I lived with, it was not the sort of stuff found on restaurant menus. Syrian food has a reputation of being rather boring and bland, but I suppose this must be Syrian restaurant food.
Favorite thing:
..harmony of coulors, joy for your eyes...
Thank you, for let me know this country
Thank you , for let me love this country
Thank you, to live in me...
Favorite thing: ...and outside people is sitting, chatting, eating, an atmosphere of holiday, a moment of agreement..
Favorite thing:
Al-'Arous (the bride) Minaret, the oldest minaret of the Mosque.
Fondest memory: ....the Bride Minaret, we like to think as a sign...
Favorite thing: When you want Visit this area it,s good to have a walk around the mosque to see the beauty of the old city and to see also the old art in the buildind and in the shops
Favorite thing:
When going to Damascus, it is a great experience to visit one of the beautiful mosques there.
The most famous is the Al Umayad mosque in the center of the town, seen on the pic on the left.

Comment: Re:Congress is a bunch of fucking retards (Score 1) 132
How far back would you like to go? If Iraq hadn't invaded Kuwait...
Which the US set in motion by putting Saddam in power AND all but gave approval of the invasion by essentially turning a blind eye to it. If the international community didn't raise such a stink over it, it's quite likely the our boy Saddam would still be at the reins.
And we put Saddam in power because the Iranian people decided that they didn't like being oppressed under the rule of a bloody dictator (the Shah) who was, no surprise, also put into power with the help of the US.
Al Quaeda? We bankrolled their entire operation until we found out that they really didn't like us anymore than the Soviets.
We've been screwing over the Middle East region in one form or another for the past 60 years or so. Is it really any surprise that things are they the way they are given the social, economic, and political unrest that our actions (and others) have caused there?

Vietnam is an outstanding travel destination that offers a veritable bounty of delights and fascinating sites combined with a unique history the resilient country wears proudly on its sleeve. Our inside knowledge of Vietnam travel, and the cities and towns across the country allow us to offer unrivaled packages full of authentic insider experiences.
The easternmost country in Southeast Asia, Vietnam wraps itself around the continent and offers a scenic 3,260km stretch of idyllic coastline complete with quaint fishing villages and decadent beach towns. Inland, the Vietnamese countryside is made up of lush, green forests that line the hilly areas of the Indochina Peninsula intersected by the magical Mekong River, a source of life to countless communities and riverside villages.
Vietnam has thrived since its reunification and is growing steadily, slowly finding its feet over the last 30 years after a turbulent period in the country's history. Relics of the country's War of Independence with former occupying nation France and the USA can be found throughout the country in various museums and monuments.
A country of farmers, Vietnam has been a predominantly agricultural society throughout history, with locals living a simple life that holds fascination for many Westerners today. Although the country is growing in various other industries and is ahead of neighbors Laos and Cambodia, outside the major cities Vietnam still operates in a fascinating old-world bubble of unchanged culture and charm.
Our local Vietnam Travel Specialists can tailor the perfect Vietnam travel itinerary to fit you and your family's needs, utilizing unrivalled knowledge that only locals have access to – as that's exactly what we are.

1. What do you see as the key matchup in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl?
1. What do you see as the key matchup in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl?
Garry Paskwietz: I think it will be the USC offensive line vs. the Fresno State D-line. The Trojans will have two new starters for this game at center and right guard, following injuries to the regular starters in the season finale. The Bulldogs are vulnerable in the secondary, giving up over 275 passing yards per game, while Marqise Lee is as healthy as he's been all year and Nelson Agholor is a big weapon opposite him. The key will be getting protection for Cody Kessler, as the Fresno State defensive averages 3.25 sacks per game, tied for the top mark in the FBS.

Basement walls
christians1September 10, 2008
My basement had a work bench against a wall. I have removed the bench and am now left with just a block wall. The rest of the room has wood paneling. I want to install wood paneling on the block wall but unsure on how to secure it. Do they sell nails that will penetrate the block? Or is there an adhesive that would stick to the bock work?
This is in the far back of the basement and I am not worried about it looking perfect. I just basically want to cover the wall. I would paint the block work but its pretty bad looking.
Any suggestions would be great.

Hi: 9° Lo:2°
By Jon Mullis Monday 29 October 2012 Updated: 29/10 09:48
A NEW Leamington bar and restaurant billed as offering a "superstar experience" has been officially launched.
An opening night of Altoria, on Warwick Street, was held on Thursday (October 25), attended by local dignitaries including town mayor coun Yvonne Moore, who cut the ribbon.
Also in attendance were representatives of local businesses as well as Barclay's business, corporate and wealth clients. A raffle was held in aid Myton Hospice with Barclay's matching the amount made.
The venue, formerly Koko's, has been billed as a sophisticated restaurant, bar and club, consisting of numerous floors and rooms, each offering a different atmosphere.
On the ground floor, Altoria features Skype Booths and serves as a restaurant by day before transforming into a bar at night. On the first floor is Uber, a club room which will have access to the latest DJ technology and sound equipment. A VIP room on the 2nd floor, featuring a table service and female-friendly luxury seating, will be known as 'Boutique.' Finally the Observatory, doubling as a smoking area, is a semi-glazed roof terrace.
Bosses of the 800-capacity venue said they aimed, in particular, to entertain over-25s, intending to give them a "Superstar experience" at the end of the working day.

COMMON CURRENCY: Demonstrating common cause is a necessity
The "tragedy of the commons" is a dilemma arising from a situation in which a group of individuals, acting independently and rationally in their own self-interest, will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource even when it is clear that it is not in anyone's long-term interest for this to happen.
This dilemma was popularized in modern times by an influential article authored by Garrett Hardin published in the journal Science in 1968.

Grassland surveys?
Apologies, I am quite a newbie to botany, however I have started a job which requires some fieldwork, of which I am a complete novice. I read the NVC booklet and other papers and wished to establish species richness and species diversity of a meadowland. I was using 2m quadrats, and quickly realised that counting grass species, even once identified, is pretty hard. I went back to my bosses who seem to think I should just stick with it and count every grass species in 5 quadrats (they are not botany experts either!).
My question is, since the grass species are so mixed up at ground level, how do you tell which is a single plant to count accurately? Is it normal to actually count each plant in a 2m square on grassland, or is there a more common way of estimating species richness and species diversity? I do not wish to appear lazy in front of my supervisors, so if needs be I will go out and count them, but I will seriously question the accuracy of my study. Would not relative frequency/density, or Domin scale be more relevant?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
How are you calculating diversity? You don't necessarily need an exact individual count for most diversity indices. An estimate of the percent cover of each species within the quadrats can be used instead and is probably more appropriate when you can't easily count individuals. Also, I have always used a 1-square meter quadrat which I think is easier, just because it's smaller. You would just do more of them.
