GULBARGA: The revised estimated project cost of stages I and II of the Upper Krishna Project (UKP) has been fixed at Rs. 10,371.67 crore. Up to the end of March 2009, the Government spent Rs. 9,989.80 crore on the project, while the anticipated expenditure during 2009-10 was Rs. 643.88 crore.
Official sources told The Hindu here on Saturday that phase II of stage I and stage II works of the UKP were on the verge of completion. As against an irrigation potential of 6.22 lakh hectares projected under the UKP, 6.10 lakh hectares would be brought under the irrigation network by March 2010.
Till the end of March 2009, the sources said, the total irrigation potential created was just over six lakh hectares. During the current financial year, another 10,300 hectares were brought under the irrigation network.
They also said an additional 75,000 hectares had been brought under the irrigation network in all three categories: medium, major and minor irrigation. The cumulative irrigation potential created under all three heads excluding groundwater irrigation would be more than 34.84 lakh hectares by the month-end. This was against the 34.09 lakh hectares under irrigation at the end of March 2009. The sources said 47 major and medium irrigation projects that had been completed so far provided irrigation to 8.96 lakh hectares of farmland, and 25 major and 53 medium irrigation projects that were under different stages of completion had so far provided an irrigation potential of 15.32 lakh hectares.
The entire modernisation of the Bhadra canal system, taken up at an estimated cost of Rs. 951 crore, has now been included in the Prime Minister's Special Package as per revised guidelines. Initially, the Government had allowed extension of canals only up to Shimoga and Chikmagalur districts under the modernisation programme. The sources said the Upper Bhadra Project now envisaged irrigation of drought-prone areas in Chikmagalur and Chitradurga districts and drinking water supply to water-starved areas in Tumkur and Kolar districts.

By MICHAEL CHEANG
Blue whales may not be as threatened as once thought but they still need protection.
ONE of the most memorable moments in Dr Bruce Mate's career in studying whales was the first time he touched a whale, and it looked him in the eye.
"That was a powerful moment. I feel a kinship with whales ... they're mammals, they have hair, they breathe air, they nurse their young with milk. We're related to them fundamentally but yet, they do some things that are so bizarre compared to humans. They live in a place we think of as hostile, but it's the only option they have. And all the threats to them are because of us," said the 63-year-old director of Oregon State University Endowed Marine Mammal Programme.
Mate, one of the world's leading whale experts, was in Kuala Lumpur recently for an exhibition promoting a National Geographic Channel documentary called Big Blue. The two-hour documentary follows an international team of scientists led by Mate as they study blue whales, the largest animal in the world. The show focuses in part on the team's work at an area called The Dome off Costa Rica. It was there that they encountered a new-born blue whale calf for the first time.
"That made The Dome a very unique area because of all the nine populations of blue whales we know of, this is the first time anyone has discovered a place where calves were born," said Mate.
They also found over half of the whales at the Costa Rica site to be untagged – which means these animals had come from elsewhere.
Mate reckons blue whales are less exploited compared to other whale species because of the unpredictable nature of their haunts.
"This offshore location (where blue whales group) varies every year because it's decided by the collision of two ocean currents. Because of that, whalers can never figure out where to go each year and that has kept them from killing all the whales."
Contrary to popular belief, the biggest threat to whales right now is not whaling, according to Mate. "The only species that are extensively caught are minke whales and they are still pretty common. The biggest threat to whales is probably other human activities, and us being naïve about them," he said.
He gave an example of the well-known grey whales of the north coast of North America. If that population drops by 10% a year, no one would know if that has been the trend for the past eight to 10 years. So no one would act on it. "It will still take a really dramatic thing before people will do something about the situation. So what hope do we have for the less-known species?"
Growing up in a small town near Chicago, right smack in the middle of North America with nary an ocean in sight, Mate's personal journey began with a high school biology teacher who made the subject special and inspired him to go into marine biology.
At 24, he attended a conference where a speaker said no one knew the migration habits of sea lions. "I thought at the time, 'Surely he can't be an expert. After all, these are really big animals. How can we not know that?' " Mate recalled. "A week later, I found out he was correct, and just decided, 'Well, I'm going to do just that!' "
Mate then developed a tagging device to track sea lions and earned his doctorate at the University of Oregon in 1973 by studying sea lion migrations. His work drew the attention of whale experts who suggested that he design a way to tag whales.
"It took me about two years to learn how to attach things to whales, and later I began tracking grey whales off the coast by driving down the highway," he said.
He then received funding to pioneer a satellite tracking system that has since become crucial in learning about blue whales.
"The first satellite tags we put out were in 1983 and 1984 on humpback whales off the east coast of Canada. Today, we've tracked blue whales for up to 538 days and sperm whales for up to 30 months," he said.
Every population of whales that he has tagged has made a huge change in our understanding of whales. "The first big population we did was on Wright whales. We thought they were slow-moving, near shore and surface skin breathers. We found out however, that they are fast, went off-shore routinely and go deep regularly, which was totally opposite of what we assumed," he said.
Mate said the satellite tagging technology coupled with National Geographic's revolutionary Crittercam has enabled scientists to learn more about blue whales in the last decade than they had in the past 100 years. The Crittercam (essentially a video camera) is mounted onto the whale's back on an extended pole so that it overlooks the whale's head. It is recovered when the whales surface.
"Thanks to the Crittercam, people are going to see the whale's perspective in this film. It gives us a lot of details about what the animal does during its dives, so we understand a little more about how it lives, and how we can behave to make its life better and help the population recover ... because we now have eyes and ears on the animal."
One of the biggest threats now for whales is collision with vessels. Mate said that half of Wright whale deaths were due to this.
"If you add that to natural mortality, you're at least doubling what nature does. And for an animal that breeds only once every three to five years, the population might not recover. We have to do something about the mortality that we're causing or that population is going to go extinct."
Even though blue whales aren't as threatened by ship collisions, they still found four blue whales killed each month while working at the Gulf of California. The threat to blue whales is more a combination of krill harvests, the potential
whaling interest, shipping and noise pollution from the oil and gas industry, and military activities.
Mate reckons that whale conservation is an international endeavour since the animal moves through the water of four to five nations.
"A chain is only as strong as the weakest link. We all need to co-operate to keep all resources in good shape. And because of the popularity of whales, they are a good poster child for the environment," he said.
"In 1972 when we had the first conference on the environment, blue whales were a symbol of human stupidity, the abuse of nature and over-harvesting. We thought that there were so few blue whales left that they would never be able to find each other to breed and calf.
"We know now that there were more (at the time), and I'm happy to say that blue whales are doing much better than we thought, and in many areas they are doing better because we stopped hunting them in 1966.
"But if we're going to sustain these things, then we have to have a certain measure of protection and regulation. We should be thinking as if we are caretakers of the planet for our grandchildren whom we've never met yet because if we don't have that attitude, it won't be there for them."

Founded in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and David Packard, Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, -0.38% became a global symbol of tech innovation and one of the largest companies on the planet. The Palo Alto, Calif., garage where the company started is now known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley. But since the late 1990s, H-P has struggled for a new direction and identity, as five CEOs have cycled through the company's executive suite.
Lew Platt, CEO from 1992 to 1999: At the height of the dot-com era, H-P finds itself struggling to keep up with faster-moving rivals. Platt, considered the last of the old guard, having worked his way up from engineer, is criticized for "missing" the Internet. Hoping to become a more nimble player, the company in 1999 spins off its scientific-measurement business as Agilent Corp. to focus on its PCs, servers and printers.
Carly Fiorina, 1999-2005: H-P brings in an outsider, Carly Fiorina, to shake things up. Under her, the company makes bold moves, including the May 2002 acquisition of Compaq Computer. The $19 billion purchase is part of a strategy to transform H-P into a tech powerhouse, dominant in both the consumer and corporate markets. But the merger is opposed by director Walter Hewlett. Fiorina prevails in the proxy war, but is later forced out in a boardroom dispute as the stock begins to slump.
Mark Hurd, 2005-10: To replace Fiorina, H-P recruits Mark Hurd from NCR Corp. The experienced executive focuses heavily on cost-cutting and efficiency, which wins him praise on Wall Street and gives the stock a sharp boost. Hurd also builds on Fiorina's expansion strategy, buying high-tech services giant EDS in August 2008 for $14 billion. But Hurd's reign ends abruptly in August of 2010 amid allegations of improper behavior, including a sexual-harassment claim that was later settled.
Leo Apotheker, 2011-12: Recruited from enterprise-software giant SAP AG SAP, +0.09% following the departure of Hurd, Apotheker's brief stint in H-P's top job turns into a period of confusion. H-P's ambitious mobile-market offensive, highlighted by its acquisition of Palm Inc. and the ill-fated TouchPad tablet, turns into an embarrassing flop. The $10 billion acquisition of Autonomy Corp. in August 2011 and the simultaneous disclosure that the company is considering selling off its PC business rattles the market, sending H-P's stock plunging. Apotheker is removed by the board less than a year after taking the job.
Meg Whitman, September 2011-present: Former eBay Inc. EBAY, +1.99% CEO Meg Whitman, having joined the H-P board during Apotheker's tenure, is plucked for the top job by her fellow directors in September 2011. She acknowledges in an Oct. 3, 2012, analysts' meeting that the turmoil in the top office has taken its toll, citing "multiple inconsistent plans and executional miscues" that limited the speed of the company's recovery. She also outlines a massive restructuring effort that will whack profits for the next two fiscal years, promising that fiscal 2015 will be H-P's "year of acceleration."

Brian the Anteater
Brian is a quiet character that really enjoys his solitude. He loves long meandering walks and contemplating life by streams. He thinks going to the cinema by oneself is tremendously underrated and everyone should try it at least once. Brian has been vegan since 2003 when he saw Finding Nemo and figured if a shark could be vegetarian, an anteater could be vegan. It's working out amazingly well since he discovered raisins, because they actually taste a lot like ants.

MARKHAM, ON, May 6 /PRNewswire/ – In the month of May residents in communities
across Canada will participate in Lupus Canada's most important public
awareness and fundraising event, Walk for Lupus. Lupus Canada, in partnership with its provincial member organizations,
is holding their 10th Annual Walk for Lupus campaign in conjunction with World Lupus Day to help increase awareness
and funds for lupus. May 10th, 2011 is the 8th Annual World Lupus Day
and events will be held worldwide in an effort to bring more awareness
to this under-funded and under-recognized disease. For more information
on World Lupus Day, please visit www.worldlupusday.org.
Joining in our efforts to promote awareness of this life-threatening and
life-altering disease are our Lupus Canada Ambassadors Colin Mochrie,
Debra McGrath and Patrick McKenna.
"Having Lupus directly affecting my family makes it easy to be involved
with Lupus Canada — but I stay because of all the fabulous work they do" Patrick McKenna
"We are involved with Lupus because we really believe that with money and
focus, this terrible and complicated disease could become a thing of
the past" Debra McGrath & Colin Mochrie
Lupus affects tens of thousands of Canadian men, women and children, yet
many people are still unaware of the disease. It can attack any tissue
or organ in the body. Lupus patients often suffer from the disease in
very different ways, hence the moniker "The Disease with 1000 Faces".
Common symptoms of lupus include joint pain, skin rashes, sun
sensitivity, extreme fatigue, fever, chest pain and seizures. Lupus can
strike any tissue or organ in the body, including skin, muscles,
joints, blood and blood vessels, lungs, heart, kidneys and the brain.
Lupus symptoms vary drastically from person to person and can mimic
other illnesses, making it difficult to diagnose. If left untreated,
lupus can be fatal. Increased awareness and early diagnosis is vital to
improving the overall quality of life of the thousands of Canadians
living with lupus.
Formed in 1987 through the association of Canadian lupus organizations,
Lupus Canada was federally registered as a non-profit charity in
February 1988 and incorporated in March 1989. The charity provides
leadership and support to Canada's lupus organizations by working
together to conquer lupus.
Take a step to conquer lupus… JOIN a walk, START a walk or DONATE to a walk to support research and
help us ensure people living with lupus are living well with lupus!

Anyone can show up on a Sunday morning two hours or so before the game and tailgate. It takes a true Saints fan to show up 24 hours before the game -- Monday mornings be damned -- just to get that perfect spot.
Eyewitness News went to meet with that kind of Saints fan before the Monday night game against the New England Patriots. We showed up around noon, when traffic was freely flowing and you could still park under the Claiborne Bridge.
Almost each person we talked to said they had been out there since early that morning.

In the early 1990's, Kazumasa Sagawa, while in Paris, killed and ate his girlfriend. In 1995, he starred in his feature film debut, Spanking Love.
Dangerous liaisons... Sadomasochism... Men and women float between dangerously... opposed yet intertwined worlds of love and hate, pain and pleasure, and the physical and the spiritual. This is the controversial film about the modern culture of boundless desire!
Ryo Masuda is a washed-up-has-been adult video director who has just lost his leading actress. Now, he has to find someone to replace her, even if it means just taking someone off the street to produce his latest masterpiece - a low budget S&M video.
When Yukie, a young woman, enters the dark world of pain and pleasure and turns the production into an unexpected hit, Ryo becomes completely drawn into the world of sadomasochism and - his newfound star.
Based on the original story by Kenichi Yamakawa, Spanking Love shows the underbelly of modern life in Japan and its thriving adult video industry with stylish cinematography, a sultry script and an attractive cast.
Spoken Languages: Japanese, English subtitles.

Ancient Bird Used Its Wings As Weapons
Scientists suggest that an extinct flightless bird from Jamaica fought rivals and predators using wings which evolved into clubs.
The boney bludgeons the bird carried are unlike anything else known in the bird world.
The scientists report finding bones that had apparently been broken by another bird's club.
The species may have survived until less than 10,000 years ago.
The bird was probably about the size of a chicken, but with an infinitely more robust armory.
Fossils show that the metacarpus was elongated and much bigger than in related species, with very thick walls.
The researchers wrote that this allowed the wings to function "in combat as a jointed club or flail."
"We don't really know how they would have used these clubs, but we do know that modern ibises grab each other by the beak and pound away with their wings," said Nicholas Longrich, from Yale University in the US.
"And we analyzed two bones that had been broken during fighting, including a humerus (upper arm bone) that had been snapped in half – it had started to re-heal, although the two ends hadn't knitted together," he told BBC News.
Storris Olson from the Smithsonian Institution, who was also involved in the research, was one of the scientists who first identified Xenicibis xympithecus back in the 1970s.
A number of other birds are known to fight by hitting each other with their wings.
Some have evolved spurs to increase the damage they can wreak.
The extinct solitairy bird from the Indian Ocean island of Rodrigues had bony growths colloquially known as "musketballs" on their wings, which appear to have served the same purpose.
"But among vertebrates – there's no animal of any sort that has anything like a limb modified as a club," Longrich told BBC.
Julian Hume, an avian paleontologist with London's Natural History Museum, told BBC that unlike most flightless birds, Xenicibis retained long wings, possibly making its flailing more powerful.
"Ibis young stay in the nest for a relatively long time," he said.
"So if they retained that feature, that suggests they needed it for defense against predators – and there were quite a few on Jamaica."
However, ibises also are more territorial, so the flailing clubs may also have found employment in disputes between individuals, probably with both sexes involved.
The findings are reported in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

You have chosen to thumb down this thread.
i'm waiting until i hear a LOT more info on the mulitplayer side of things before i decide to preorder Halo 4. as of today, after the Game Informer leak/article i can say that i am not looking forward to the game.
this might end up being the first halo game since 3 that i haven't preordered (that list would be Halo 3, ODST, Halo Reach and Halo CE:Anniversary)
Remember when Selmabot ruled the forums?
Original Poster
i was really pumped for Halo 4 until i read the game informer leak where they talked about a) unlocking items over time that affect the attributes of your character b) custom loadouts and c) jetpack, active camo, and forerunner vision.
in my opinion, unless there is a game mode that has NONE of those things, i will buy this game used... if ever. i'm sick of Halo not being a Halo game. Reach is fun, but it just isn't Halo.
Come on...there is an Official Halo 4 thread on the FIRST PAGE!
Anyway, Halo 4 release date: November 6, 2012
best thing so far was the 5 seconds of gameplay from Conan the other night (yes, it was only about 5 seconds of footage).
things we learned
1. BR is back and seems pretty standard (although it's a square scope now, not cirucular)
2. 4 shot kill BR
3. jump height is restored to the "Halo Float"
4. strafe is legitimate again (no more Reach strafe which does next to nothing)
the more i learn about this game the more frustrating it sounds like it will be.
a. armor abilities are back, including jetpack and active camo (at least they dropped armor lock)
b. everyone has sprint + an armor ability
c. players unlock weapons and armor mods over time, these mods actually affect gameplay (such as faster regen, more ammo, etc.)
d. loadouts
i am 100% not buying this game new without some radical gameplay footage that puts all of this rubbish to bed. i'm on the fence about buying it at all, and i will most likely get it used from glyde, etc. it baffles me how 343 decided to go in the direction of Halo Reach and completely miss the point that Reach has been a failure for the franchise.

Here we are at another Thanksgiving, with so much to be thankful for.
We can be thankful, for sure, that the hurricane season has gone by and the next big weather events will probably only involve challenges with snow and ice.
My experience is that we usually keep our power after winter storms. It's the fall events, hurricanes, early snows and nor'easters, that claim the most power outage victims. Let's hope that holds true this winter.
We can be thankful the election is over.
It's encouraging that in the post-election world there is talk of compromise on both ends of the political spectrum.
And even if we go over the fiscal cliff, a new Congress gets seated in January and will negotiate with a confident president who never has to be re-elected again.
We can be thankful that the country is so full of happy marriages.
I can only assume that if the head of the Central Intelligence Agency can't pull off a secret affair, not many other people can either.
It must be that adultery is pretty uncommon, since it seems so hard to get away with it in the age of the Internet. Just ask a recently retired Connecticut weather man.
In New London, we can be thankful that Police Chief Margaret Ackley is so dedicated to the job that she stayed on at her post through Hurricane Sandy, even after being hit in the head with a window. She put an ice pack on her head and soldiered on.
I know some cynical thinkers suggest this is a ploy for the chief to make some new financial claim against the city. But the fact that she stayed on the job after being hit would seem to belie the notion of a significant medical claim in the offing.
Those who don't live in Groton can be thankful this week they don't have a government that invested millions of dollars in a cable television system and then sold it, practically on eBay, for a fire sale price of $150,000.
It's a good thing Groton didn't go into a business that doesn't have a history of being lucrative. Imagine how much more they might have lost.
In New London, residents can be thankful their dysfunctional government hasn't gone away, even with a new mayoral system in place.
How many places give voters a chance to recall at referendum a budget for money that has already been spent. Not only that, but New London voters at the next election next year may get to reject two budgets, the one already spent and the new one being prepared, at the same time they get to vote for or against some of the city officials responsible.
We can be thankful that the craziness of Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping may have reached a peak. It seems like some sense is coming to the tradition.
We can be thankful that the skating rinks have been set up in downtown New London and downtown Westerly. Can spring be far behind if skating has begun?
We can be thankful that the month's biggest obituary was for a junk food.
Everyone in Connecticut can be thankful today we don't have a new senator in Washington with a boat named Sexy Bitch.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

|Tannehill welcomes Dolphins' new receivers
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 28 March 2013 12:29
This month the Dolphins signed Mike Wallace, the top pass-catcher in free agency, and wideout Brandon Gibson and tight end Dustin Keller. They also re-signed wideout Brian Hartline.
That means big changes for Tannehill, who had a solid rookie season despite an unimposing cast of wideouts who caught only three touchdown passes.
Speaking after he played in a celebrity tennis match Thursday at the Sony Open, Tannehill said he expects to show a lot of improvement in 2013. He threw for 3,294 yards last year, more than acclaimed rookie classmates Robert Griffin III or Russell Wilson.

Prep boys swimming: Cascade 96, Stanwood 86
"(AJ) had a rough stretch going into Christmas break. He couldn't swim due to a infection on his foot," said Cascade coach Eric Smith of Jenkins, who also won the 100 breaststroke and the anchor leg of the winning 400 free relay. "But he's cleared and back in the water and he looked really good."
Stanwood won five of the nine individual events and two of the three relay events but Cascade's depth and diving prowess was the difference. The Bruins finished 1-2-3 in diving. Stanwood doesn't have any divers.
"Those 13 points really put us over the top," Smith said of the diving competition.
At Forest Park Pool
200 medley relay--Stanwood (Kevin Escobar, Kevin Sandquist, Jake Land, David Escobar) 1:53.39; 200 freestyle--Tanner DesJardins (S) 2:05.08; 200 individual medley--D.

NHL's Winter Classic set for Fenway Park
The 2008 game in the home of the NFL's Buffalo Bills had a dusting of snow that looked great on TV but made it difficult at times to skate. When the game was played on the Chicago Cubs' diamond last year, the ice was improved and the field was laid out across the diamond, from first to third, with the faceoff circle right around second base.
A similar layout was on display with temporary fencing on Wednesday, though the league said other configurations were still being considered.
As for the weather, everyone knows not to make any plans.
"If you are a New Englander, you have to be prepared for anything," Ward said. "Ask me the day of (the game) and I'll tell you how I feel about playing outdoors."

RUB researchers make bio-based solar cell breakthrough
By Grant Banks
December 19, 2013
Researchers at Ruhr-Universitat Bochum have created a bio-based solar cell capable of generating a continuous electrical current of several nanowatts per sq cm. The new approach avoids damage to the tapped photosynthetic cells, an issue that has plagued previous attempts to harness nature's "power plant."
While the technology is still in its infancy, bio-based solar cells could offer several advantages over photovoltaic systems, namely greater efficiency and the fact that they are not dependent on silicon and expensive rare earth metals. On the downside, the systems developed thus far are not very durable and do not produce much power.
Past attempts at harnessing the process of photosynthesis to generate electricity have concentrated on tapping in to only one of the two steps known as the Z-Scheme.
The Z-Scheme is the process of photoreduction where light energy is converted to chemical energy in two steps or photosystems. When a plant, algae or cyanobacteria absorb a light photon an electron within photosystem 2 (PS2) is excited and attains a higher energy level. This unstable electron is transferred via a series of redox reactions down the electron transport chain before entering photosystem 1 (PS1).
In a first, the team at RUB, led by Prof Wolfgang Schuhmann and Prof Matthias Rögner, has integrated both PS1 and PS2 into a photovoltaic cell. Rather than capturing electrons at either the PS1 or PS2 stage of photosynthesis, as has been the approach in previous bio-based cells, they have used the charge separation between the two photosystems to create an anode and diode, generating continuous electrical current through a redox hydrogel when exposed to light.
To achieve this, the team isolated the two photosystems in thermophilic cyanobacteria found in hot springs, which are attractive because the extreme environmental conditions they exist under makes their photosystems relatively stable. These photosystems were then embedded into redox hydrogels with different potentials developed by the team. The result is a system that generates electricity rather than converting carbon dioxide into oxygen and biomass.
This approach also seems to overcome problems experienced by other researchers at the University of Georgia (UGA) and Stanford University, where cells rapidly deteriorate rendering them useless within as little as a few hours.
"The system may be considered a blueprint for the development of semi-artificial and natural cell systems in which photosynthesis is used for the light-driven production of secondary energy carriers such as hydrogen," says Prof Rögner.

"Breakthrough" UUUU ? every 4 or 6 months we are annouced "breakthroughs" in renewable energy, specifically in solar. But (quote) not very durable and not produce much powe'" (unquote) Is that a true big "breakthrough" ???watersworm
"do not produce much power" is a bit of an understatement: several nanowatts per square centimeter would require 0.1 square kilometers for several watts. ...you can power your table lamp with one square kilometer of such solar cells. It feels like it needs a bit of an improvement.nehopsa
Nonetheless, its a super cool concept.asdf
OK, this needs some further development, but it shouldn't be discounted, although naysayers may abound.
Remember what Nikolai Tesla (a really smart guy) said about air travel? "The aeroplane is fatally defective. It is merely a toy — a sporting play-thing. It can never become commercially practical."
Gotta start somewhere.Bruce H. Anderson

Substance Abuse Disorders
Evidence and Experience
Substance abuse disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders and are frequently comorbid with other psychiatric and health conditions and accompanied by social problems; however, they remain under-recognized and under-treated. Many physicians and mental health practitioners receive little-to-no training in the identification and treatment of these disorders. Approaches to their prevention include some of the major success stories in modern public health as well as some of the deepest controversies in public life.

The four-semester masters programme Chemical and Process Engineering builds on the bachelor's programme and enables students to gain specialist knowledge in the individual disciplines in chemical and process engineering. In addition to theoretical education and training, great store is set on practical laboratory exercises. The exercises are carried out in small groups and thus promote the capability to communicate on a technical level with students and instructors a capability which is extremely important to chemical and process engineers. Graduates of the program are awarded the academic title of Diplom-Ingenieurin or Diplom-Ingenieur which is equivalent to the international "Master of Science" ("MSc").
Working as a chemical and process engineer
Chemical and process engineers are all-rounders. Since almost all industrial branches need chemical and process engineering, there is a great wealth of professional possibilities. The know-how and competence of chemical and process engineers are sought after wherever industrial plants are erected and operated. The spectrum ranges from the food, tobacco and alcohol industry, paper industry, plastics industry, petrochemistry and the production of chemicals to biotechnology, among others. Chemical and process engineers can work in a wide range of functions, such as in the areas of research and development, planning and construction, operation and production, customer care and distribution or technical monitoring. In addition, chemical and process engineering includes a component that is very strongly oriented towards the environment. Thus, chemical and process engineers are often employed by companies and authorities as experts for environmental issues.

An AI companion is a computer-controlled ally who follows and aids you through your adventures or who requires your protection. The AI companion's survival is often essential to game and story progression.
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Video games stories with a bad ending or endings, in which the primary conflict is unable to be resolved and/or a bad fate befalls the protagonist.
Because you'd never expect a banana to be an undercover cluster grenade.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
When blood will splash textures on walls or floors and even roofs.
Bats, hammers, wrenches, maces, staves, or even brass knuckles. These are weapons intended for blunt trauma rather than cutting or slicing.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
To strike someone with the butt, or stock, of a rifle. The act of using a non-handgun firearm as a blunt weapon.
Cooperative play in games allows humans to play together as a team to accomplish a task. Instead of playing against a human opponent, the team must defeat an AI.
Crafting allows players to create their own items with the correct ingredients. It is used mainly in MMOs and RPGs.
Crowd control is the art of whittling down large groups of attacking enemies via the constant reassessment of the greatest threat to the player; achieved by constant player movement, and adjusting the aim to the closest threat, then quickly moving on to the next greatest threat, and so forth.
Get stuck in a mass of people and feel like a sheep getting nowhere.
The severing of limbs is a good way for designers to make every battle a bloodier, gorier mess. Or sillier in the right situations.
An Easter Egg is an intentionally hidden cheat or hidden content in a video game, also known as a ''secret.''
Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more. Chainsaws usually produce the best excessive violence, while guns simply provide more blood spray.
An interesting revelation. While some games will only accept a START button press, many other games aren't as strict.
Gibs (giblets) are, basically, what's left of someone after they make contact with an explosive object or powerful weapon. They can be seen in games such as Doom, Quake, Team Fortress 2 and many, many more.
When a developer begs and pleads and offers to do laundry for even a tiny guest appearance, sometimes those famous characters will still flake on them. At least they still have their laundry.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
A console game is high definition if it operates at a resolution of at least 720p, or 1280x720. A console able to achieve this resolution is HD-capable. For a variety of reasons, the term does not apply to PC games.
The use of everyday objects as weapons of destruction, often combination.
Usually found in adventure games, when you combine two or more items to create one or more new items.

Choice"Graver presents seven plays from the years when apartheid was falling apart. At that time, both the public and playwrights began noticing previously neglected social problems such as the oppression of black women, depicted in the plays in Kathy A. Perkins's anthology Black South African Women (CH, Sep'99). Graver casts his net wider and begins with Junction Avenue Theatre Company's Sophiatown (1988), a play treating one of apartheid's most odious evils, forced relocation. The plays that follow treat such subjects as abuse of women, poaching, and mindless bureaucracy. Particularly moving are Paul Slabolepszy's Mooi Street and Other Moves, about strangers in the big city who lose each other just when they begin to accept each other as fellow humans; Reza De Wert's Crossing, which reminded this reviewer of an Ingmar Bergman movie and is a haunting drama about ordinary people who are trying to bring some semblance of order to a chaotic world, though with mixed results; and Brett Bailey's Ipi Zombi, a powerful portrayal of how fear of witchcraft can overtake a community, overpowering both the victims and the aggressors. Recommended for libraries collecting in theater arts and studies, as well as in African literature and culture." —B. K. Beynen, Des Moines Area Community College, Choice, June 2000
