Report Shows Investment In Mental Health Care Will Benefit Economy
Thursday, 18 September 2008
The Mental Health Commission today published a report - The Economics of Mental Health Care in Ireland - prepared by Eamon O'Shea and Brendan Kennelly of the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology and Department of Economics, NUI Galway, showing the economic benefits of investment in services to deal with mental health problems. Such problems cost the economy over €3 billion a year. The report also contains economic survey results which show the public would be willing to pay more for community based mental health services. The estimated cost to the economy of mental health problems in 2006 in Ireland was over €3 billion, which is more than two per cent of GNP, the report says. The health care system accounts for less than one quarter of the costs. The main economic costs of mental health problems are located in the labour market as a result of lost employment, absenteeism, lost productivity and premature retirement. There are also costs imposed on the prison service, social services dealing with homelessness and informal care costs as well as lost output and productivity. The significant human and social costs associated with mental health problems, including pain, suffering, stigma, reduction in quality of life and suicide are not included in the baseline estimates. The Mental Health Commission strongly supports the implementation of the Government policy on mental health, A Vision for Change. This policy requires substantial investment in the development of community treatment facilities to replace the institutional care approach. "Resources are not infinite, so choices must be made between alternative uses of the same resource or service", said Bríd Clarke, Chief Executive officer, Mental Health Commission. "As the report says, 'economic analysis is therefore a crucial aid to decision making on resource allocation and on priority setting'." While decisions on resource allocation are grounded in values, economics is a central tool in the making of these decisions. The economic reasons for policy makers to invest more in mental health are: (1) The economic cost of poor mental health in Ireland is very significant; (2) The Irish public has expressed a willingness to pay extra taxation for a mental health programme that would enable more people to live in the community; (3) There is a burgeoning economic base of evidence about particular interventions which have a positive effect on the quality of life of people with mental health problems. The authors of the report used a well-known technique in economics – a contingent valuation survey – to estimate how much people would be willing to pay in extra taxation for a particular improvement in mental health services. The results from the survey demonstrated that people would be willing to make significant tax contributions to new community-based services for people with mental health problems. However, the survey also found that people tend to value spending on cancer and ageing programmes more than they do mental health care. The share of total public health expenditure spent on mental health services has fallen in the past twenty years from just under 14% in 1984 to 7.76% in 2007. However in absolute terms there has been a four-fold increase in per capita spending over this period and it has roughly doubled in the past decade. "We have not yet made the connection between increased public spending on mental health care and individual and societal gains", said Dr. Edmond O'Dea, Chairman, Mental Health Commission. "Making mental health a national health priority in Ireland would be an important first step in realising the potential gains associated with increased spending on mental health. As part of that prioritisation, we should set a target of 10 per cent for mental health care expenditure as a proportion of overall health expenditure, to be realised over a five year period." Dr. O'Dea said this study was commissioned because of the need to show the economic, as well as social and personal benefits of investment in mental health care. He said society's decisions to spend money on providing support and services to its more vulnerable members are based on values, not simply on cost/benefit analysis. "But an increased understanding of the economic benefit of spending on mental health care will help ensure it is prioritised. Individuals benefit from increased spending on mental health care, but so do communities, society and the economy. For all of these reasons, mental health must become a national health priority, with specific targets for expenditure, evaluation and outcomes."

Head of Amnesty International to Speak at NUI Galway
Thursday, 18 September 2008
The head of Amnesty International, Ms Irene Zubaida Khan, will deliver a public lecture at NUI Galway on Wednesday, 17 September, at 2.15pm in the Aula Maxima. Ms Khan was appointed Secretary General of Amnesty International in 2001, becoming the first woman, Asian and Muslim to lead the human rights organisation. Her lecture will be entitled 'At sixty, is it time for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to retire?'. Ms Khan has broadened the work of Amnesty International in areas of economic, social and cultural rights. She has led high level missions to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Israel/Occupied Territories, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Spain, Thailand, the Darfur region of Sudan, and Nepal. Deeply concerned about women's human rights, she initiated a process of consultations with women activists to design a global campaign by Amnesty International against violence on women, which was launched in March 2004. The event is being hosted by the Irish Centre for Human Rights at NUI Galway. Dr Kathleen Cavanaugh, a lecturer with the Centre, says Ms Khan is an inspiring individual: "She brings with her a wealth of experience, both personal and professional, which has helped to shape and direct the movement. There are huge challenges facing the human rights regime in the wake of the so-called 'war on terror'. Despite early criticisms, Irene was steadfast in her arguments that international civil society must not be consumed by the politics of fear, and she has led Amnesty's efforts to recapture this human rights versus security debate". In 1980, Ms Khan joined the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and worked in a variety of positions at Headquarters and in field operations to promote the international protection of refugees. From 1991 to 1995 she was Senior Executive Officer to Mrs. Sadako Ogata, then UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Appointed as the UNHCR Chief of Mission in India in 1995, Ms Khan was the youngest country representative at that time, and in 1998 headed the UNHCR Centre for Research and Documentation. She led the UNHCR team in Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia during the Kosovo crisis in 1999, and was appointed Deputy Director of International Protection later that year. Ms Khan studied law at the University of Manchester and Harvard Law School, specialising in public international law and human rights. She is the recipient of several academic awards, a Ford Foundation Fellowship, the 2006 City of Sydney Peace Prize, the Pilkington 'Woman of the Year' Award 2002, and the John Owens Distinguished Alumni Award of the University of Manchester. She has been awarded honorary doctorates by Ferris University (Japan) and Staffordshire University (UK). Ms Khan has been voted one of the 100 Most Influential Asians and one of the 100 Most Influential Muslims in the UK. -ends-

Pharmaceutical and Biotech Expert Joins NUI Galway Technology Transfer Office
Monday, 15 September 2008
Pharmaceutical and biotech business leader, Dr John Kavanagh, has taken over as NUI Galway's Director of Technology Transfer. He will work with the University's Ignite Technology Transfer Office to commercialise and license the work of researchers on campus. Dr Kavanagh will also further develop the University's partnerships with industry and the business community. Dr Kavanagh joins NUI Galway from Bioniche Teoranta, a company based in Inverin, Co. Galway, specialising in sterile injectables, where he was Managing Director for five years. Previously, he occupied senior positions at Abbott Laboratories, Sandoz/Novartis and Schering-Plough. Speaking about his new role, Dr Kavanagh said: "NUI Galway was the first University in Ireland to create a dedicated technology transfer office. I look forward to building on the excellent work that has already taken place." He added: "Never more so, than when there is an economic downturn, does the entrepreneurial approach to business need to be nurtured. The University, with its world-leading research and strong industry partnerships is well positioned to continue its technology commercialisation success." So far this year, the University's Ignite Technology Transfer Office has filed 42 invention disclosures, 15 patents and licensed six technologies to industry. Professor Terry Smith, Vice-President for Research at NUI Galway, welcomed Dr Kavanagh to the University: "John brings with him a wealth of experience in all aspects of technology transfer and the commercialisation of research. He will, no doubt, lead the further development and growth of the Ignite Technology Transfer Office in the coming years." Originally from Dublin, Dr Kavanagh is a graduate of UCD, having completed a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. He also holds a Diploma in Applied Finance from the Irish Management Institute. -ends-

NUI Galway Issues Call for Entries to Schools Science Competition
Monday, 15 September 2008
The Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI) at NUI Galway has issued a call to secondary schools for entries to its fourth annual Schools' Science Essay Competition 2008. Sponsored by Galway-based medical technology company Medtronic, essays are invited on the topic 'Boundaries of Science – is there anything we should not do?'. The competition is open to all students in the senior cycle of secondary schools in the Republic of Ireland and also, for the first time, schools in Northern Ireland. Closing date for receipt of entries is Friday, 31 October, 2008. REMEDI's Schools' Science Essay Competition was launched in 2005 to stimulate discussion among students on the ethical and societal implications of advances in biomedical research. Competition prizes include a laptop, iPOD, crystal trophies and school prizes of science equipment bursaries. Prizes will be presented at the BT Young Scientist Festival in January of 2009. Last year, Catherine Duane of Holy Faith Secondary School, Clontarf, Dublin took the top prize. Professor Tim O'Brien, Director of REMEDI, explained the motivation for the competition: "The purpose of this project, as with all our secondary school initiatives, is to encourage young people to take an active interest in contemporary scientific research, and to consider a career in this field. Science communication should always be a two way process. While it is important for REMEDI to publicly discuss research taking place in the areas of stem cell and gene therapy, it is equally important for our scientists to listen to the public's views on this research. We have found 16-18 year-olds are more than eager to express their views on some of the questions raised by this research." Noreen Moloney, R&D New Technologies Manager at Medtronic, said: "Exciting our young people about science and engineering is crucial. Giving them the hunger, skills and confidence to tackle the next generation of scientific and technological unknowns is a key challenge. Scientific and engineering knowledge will be the drivers of our future prosperity and I strongly believe that the sponsorship of the REMEDI national essay competition is an excellent initiative which helps promote interest in science among students." Full details of the competition rules, helpful hints and additional information on how to enter are available on the education section of the REMEDI website www.remedi.ie. REMEDI is an SFI funded research institute at the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science located at NUI Galway. -ends-

NUI Galway to Celebrate Volunteering with Annual Fair on 22 September
Friday, 12 September 2008
Record numbers of over 2,000 students are expected to attend the NUI Galway Volunteering Fair on Monday, 22 September. The annual event, now in its seventh year, will have 60 charities and community organisations showcase the wide range of volunteer opportunities available for students. The Fair will signal the start of a week-long celebration of volunteering at NUI Galway, the culmination of which will coincide with the national volunteering 'Give it a Swirl' day on Friday, 26 September. Exhibitors at the Volunteer Fair will include: Rehab Care; Habitat for Humanity; Down Syndrome Ireland; Childline; Galway Refugee Support Group; Simon Community; Enable Ireland; and Positive Mental Health. The Fair will be officially opened by Mayor of Galway City, Councillor Pádraig Conneely and members of the general public are also welcome to attend. The event is part of the University's ALIVE Volunteering Programme which aims to support and promote volunteering on campus. Last year, over 1,300 students registered with ALIVE. Lorraine Tansey is Volunteer Coordinator of the ALIVE Programme at NUI Galway: "Volunteering comes in many forms, whether it its running homework clubs in local schools, fundraising for national charities, befriending people with a disability, or volunteering abroad. Students can volunteer as much or as little time as they can spare and they benefit enormously from getting involved. Our Community Partners really value the enthusiasm and flexibility they bring. The Fair is just one way to harness and encourage this ongoing civic commitment." Through the ALIVE programme, students at NUI Galway can access an online database of volunteer opportunities. The programme also includes a series of workshops to help students make the most of their volunteering experience. At the end of the academic year students can apply for an ALIVE Certificate which is awarded at a special ceremony in recognition of their commitment to volunteering. The Volunteering Fair takes place on campus in Áras na Mac Léinn, from 1-5pm. For further information, please contact the ALIVE office on 091 493823 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. -ends-

NUI Galway's Raindrop Research to Inform Climate Change Predictions
Thursday, 11 September 2008
An NUI Galway climate researcher has made a major breakthrough in understanding the effect of air pollution and climate change on precipitation. Dr Colin O'Dowd and a team of leading international experts propose a new theory explaining why atmospheric aerosol pollution plays a dichotomous role in increasing and suppressing rainfall under different levels of pollution. Their results are essential to providing an improved understanding of how air pollution and climate change will influence flood and drought patterns in the future. The high-profile article 'Flood or Drought: How do Aerosols Affect Precipitation?' was published in the latest edition of the international journal, Science. The article explains how, in order for clouds to form, there must be sufficient water vapour in the atmosphere to produce supersaturated vapour fields, and there must be nuclei for the vapour to condense on in order to form cloud droplets. Water vapour primarily comes from water evaporation at the Earth's surface, while the nuclei come from atmospheric aerosol particles. In clean clouds with low nuclei availability, the cloud droplets formed are large and coalesce into raindrops that readily rain out. However, this study points out that in polluted convective clouds, where cloud droplets are smaller, they do not precipitate out until they reach altitudes above the atmosphere's freezing level. At that stage the droplets freeze into ice precipitation that then falls and melts, releasing latent heat upward and reabsorbsing heat at lower levels. The result is a greater upward transport of heat for the same amount of surface precipitation. This causes invigoration of the convective clouds, leading to additional rainfall despite the slower conversion rate of cloud droplets into rain drops. According to Dr O'Dowd, Director of the Centre for Climate and Air Pollution Studies at NUI Galway's Environmental Change Institute and Senior Lecturer with the School of Physics, "What this research shows, in very simple terms, is that air pollution not only dramatically effects the type of rain that falls but ultimately how much and where. The smaller type of raindrop being formed when pollution is a factor effectively 'heats up' the cloud system leading to changing weather patterns. This research will lead to a better understanding of and predictions regarding climate change". The scientific article 'Flood or Drought: How do Aerosols Affect Precipitation?' looks at how, as the level of aerosol pollution increases above a critical threshold, aerosol components absorb sufficient incoming solar radiation to warm and stabilize the troposphere. This inhibits convection of cloud parcels, and reduces the amount of energy absorbed at the Earth's surface, thus reducing the release of water vapour. O'Dowd adds, "The net result is that in the most polluted areas, precipitation, and even convective clouds, may not form at all. Given that about 37% of the energy put into the atmosphere by the Earth is as water vapour, this must be balanced by the amount of precipitation returning to the surface. Therefore, disturbance of this balance in one region must be compensated for in another, leading to changes in precipitation patterns." In their study, O'Dowd and colleagues introduce the above phenomena as an aerosol thermodynamic forcing which does not necessarily change the net energy budget, but redistributes it internally. The study highlights the importance of taking account of the aerosol thermodynamic forcing in climate models in order to better predict changes to the hydrological cycle associated with air quality and climate change. O'Dowd and his co-authors comprise the Steering Group developing the international project on Aerosols-Clouds-Precipitation and Climate (ACPC). ACPC is a joint International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme - World Climate Research Programme (IGBP-WCRP) project. O'Dowd represents two IGBP sub programmes on ACPC, namely the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) programme, and Surface Ocean Lower Atmospheres Studies (SOLAS) programme. -ends-

Home Dartford Sport Article
On-loan striker Alex Wall has been hailed as a big part of Dartford's battle to survive in Skrill Premier.
Wall last week extended his loan spell from parent club Luton Town for a third month and then scored both goals in Dartford's 2-0 win at Hyde on Saturday.
The centre-forward has now scored three in his last two games and six in 10 since initially joining from the Hatters in January.
Dartford manager Tony Burman said: "He's a big presence in every nature of the word. He's a big lad and he's done ever so well for us. He's strong and scored some goals, so he must be enjoying it.
"He did well with Danny Harris on Saturday. He scored a good goal at Cambridge and he got two goals on Saturday. Long may it continue because that's what we need, someone who can do that."
Wall's goals have won the Darts 10 precious points but just having him in the team gives his team-mates a psychological boost.
Burman said: "When you're creating chances and scoring goals, it gives the team belief. It's definitely helped us, that's for sure.
"He's a good lad. He's adapted, he's come in and done well, settled in well. That's good. If you've got players who are happy off the pitch, they'll be happy on it."

31 year old woman | Colorado Springs, CO, USA | Seeking men 25-40 within 20 miles
Online dating, because I'm too young to be a cat lady... and I currently lack a cat.
I've lived in Colorado for nearly a year and am originally from the downstate Illinois/Indiana border. Yes, small town Midwest. I first visited Colorado in 2010 for a Writers Conference and totally fell in love with the Peak and Garden of the Gods. Colorado and I had a long distance relationship for the next two years as I made annual trips to the conference. Last year I packed up my car, rented out my house, said goodbye to my family, and made the 15 and a half hour drive. I hate Kansas. No, really. I hate it. I'm sorry if that offends. Also, I'm not a paying for Match right now, so can't reply or see anything. I'm told I'm fun and dorky, and I'm certainly a bit on the geeky side. I enjoy visiting the local barcade to play old video games. Of course, I love being outside too. Hiking, especially within the Colorado landscape, is one of my favorite activities. Photography and traveling are both loves of mine. I spent two weeks in Brazil this past spring, visiting Sao Paulo, Atibaia, and Rio de Janiero. But honestly, my favorite destination is the Gulf Coast of Florida. I adore the beach, especially for morning shelling and sunset strolls. Who am I looking for? Don't know yet. :)
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Wine tasting
Auto racing / Motorcross, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Middle of the Road
Game of Thrones and True Blood are the only series I'm currently following. In concert, I've seen: Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Kings of Leon, No Doubt, Paramore, The Fray, One Republic, Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, Kid Rock, Martina McBride, and more.

Brazilian Epic XINGU Available on DVD 9/9
Breaking Glass Pictures will be releasing the Brazilian epic Xingu on DVD September 9, 2014. Based on the true story of the Vilas-Bôas brothers' journey through Xingu and their time among the indigenous people, Xingu premiered to critical acclaim at the Berlin International Film Festival.
During their exploration of central Brazil in 1943, Orlando, Claudio and Leonardo Villas-Bôas encounter the Xingu Indians. Passionately interested by what they discover about the customs and social systems of the cultures they discover, the brothers make a home among them. When half of a village dies of an influenza epidemic, the brothers devote their lives to protecting the Xingu peoples, preserving Xingu culture and to the creation of a Xingu National Park.
By retelling the brothers' saga, Xingu reveals the struggle to create the Indian park and consequent preservation of an array of different Indian tribes, transforming the Villas-Boas into Brazilian heroes and giving rise to dialogues revolving around chronic problems in Brazil's history.

In Europe, where about half our sales come through the channel, I'm seeing some interesting opportunities for our partners to profit from the big data revolution that I wanted to share. The good news is that the customer demand is already here. One is in providing expert professional services to help customers plan and implement big data solutions. Within this area, one of the biggest opportunities is in tool selection. There's a dizzying array of big data technology on the market, much of which is unfamiliar to customers. For example, there are at least ten NoSQL databases, so which one...

Two key themes in of our vision for the future of analytics are to integrate with the leading technology partners in the big data analytics ecosystem and to enable cloud-ready applications.

A huge congratulations to our partners at Ingres, who today announced that their lightening fast database VectorWise has set a new record for the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-H benchmark at scale factor 100. Not only did Vectorwise set a new standard, but it blew the previous record holder out of the water, delivering 340% of the previous record. Equally outstanding about this news is the fact that VectorWise has not only changed the game in terms of performance, but the database also comes in at a fraction of the price of its competitors. Forward-thinking innovation, high performance, and low...

PARDON THE DISSENT with Joey Vincent
During this show Joey helps Jeb Bush with campaign slogans and he finally watched "Selma" and he gives his review. Next a story about UN peacekeepers that are raping the people that they should be rescuing and that leads to Joey to getting deep about Americans and our impact on the world. Joey finishes up by attacking one of his favorite targets, the rich.
In this show Joey talks a little about Bernie Sanders, dolphin deaths connected to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and he interviews Andrew Henderson from MN Cop Block. Andrew just made national news while documenting the Saint Paul, MN Police.
In this show we talk about false patriotism, paid for patriotism, water gun raids on pedal pubs, war against tax funded enemies and bad news for NJ animal lovers.
To start, this show has a slight tech issues during recording. Nothing important was lost, just Joey greeting the audience.
PTD is finally on air!

Beautiful Boston HotelPosted Jun 27, 2015
Location: Just steps to a Boston MTS station making a trip to Newbury St. only a stop away. Also near Fenway park, MIT Boston Common and the Charles River.
Admittedly this was my first time in Boston, so I have no other local hotels to compare against, but I can say it was hands down one of, if not THE best hotel I've stayed in over the course of my travels. The staff were all incredibly helpful and courteous. The hotel itself was beautiful and modern with very spacious rooms. I can easily say Hotel Commonwealth will be my go to hotel for any future visits to Boston.

The hotel was fine, small like many NY hotels. There is really no where in the room to work on a laptop so I had to prop myself up and work on the bed.

We were lucky!Posted May 30, 2015
Pros: Location. Lobby design.
Location: The world famous ball park.
The hotel was absolutely wonderful. Good location, good neighborhood, good service, good bars and restaurants. In-house net connection was not workable, though. Wonder if we had a good deal because the view was blocked by the construction site in process.

Great hotel. Big and nice room.Posted May 27, 2015
Pros: The best part are the three restaurants. I would say the three are among the top 10-20 restaurants in Boston. Great ambiance and crowd.
Staff was amazing. The room was beautiful AND huge. I upgraded to the large king viewing over Commonwealth Ave and the Citgo sign.

フェンウェイパークに近いPosted May 10, 2015
Pros: 立地、レストラン
Location: フェンウェイパーク、コプリーエリア
ボストンレッドソックス観戦をするのに便利なホテルを探して、このホテルにたどり着きました。 地下鉄駅の駅の真上で、かつフェンウェイパークからも徒歩圏内だったので、試合終了が遅くなっても安心してホテルに戻ることができました。 また、試合前、試合後はホテル周辺がお祭り騒ぎで、その雰囲気も味わえて楽しかったです。 料金はちょっと高いと思いますが、立地や部屋のコンディションを考えると納得できるものでした。 また、朝食のレストランも併設されており、おいしくいただきました。

THE Place to stay in BostonPosted May 3, 2015
Pros: The location and all the staff.
Location: Located right at Kenmore Station. Within 15 minutes of the airport. Plenty of restaurants and shopping on Yawkey Way. Perfect place to stay for game!
Hotel Commonwealth is THE place to stay while in Boston. It is the perfect location, has great restaurants within walking distance and just across the way from Fenway Park. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

I just thought I would call up a vote on which you all like better. Gundams, Guymelefs, or Evangelions...
Personally, I prefer Gundams.

I just thought I would call up a vote on which you all like better. Gundams, Guymelefs, or Evangelions...
Personally, I prefer Gundams.
Mankind's greatest achievment? Dragonball Z. Bar none.
Gundams....not really familar with Evas and Guymelefs...
Honestly, I expect this Poll to be heavily biased in favour of Gundams.
But I hope Melefs and Evas get some respect too.
Gundams are easily the most powerful in terms of combat though.
Mankind's greatest achievment? Dragonball Z. Bar none.
Well you know when this poll gets going Gundam is like gonna have a ga-zillion votes.Originally Posted by Saint Mana
Eva's do demand respect, what Gundam can you say is the vessel of God, and is the tool for changing the very existance of humanity or possibly making humans in nothingness... certainly not the Gundams as great as they are.
My boyfriend:Tenchu1973Beautiful Butterfly WingsTHEY'RE MINE!!!!!copy this to help them bulid an army and then destroy everything
Which would I rather be able to use/own?
Tough choice, I would go with an Eva depending on which Gundam's are available.
Never heard of Guymelefs though, what are they from?
siggie made by Sword
Mini Gorillaz!!!Kawaii!!!!!
You are, of course, 100% correct. Gundams are, in my opinion, the most superior weapons ever conceived. However, Evangelion is consiousness capable of rewriting existence itself. No Gundam can boast that.Originally Posted by Black_Death
Mankind's greatest achievment? Dragonball Z. Bar none.
Visions of EscaflowneNever heard of Guymelefs though, what are they from?
^^; Then of course added in the Lance, for that much added flair. But Shinji really isn't the most stable person piloting such a powerful being, as we saw in EoE. Knowing him he would just erase everything and cry about it later.You are, of course, 100% correct. Gundams are, in my opinion, the most superior weapons ever conceived. However, Evangelion is consiousness capable of rewriting existence itself. No Gundam can boast that.
Heh, yes Shinji is far from stable. He is not someone I would want to have the fate of the human race in his hands. I suppose, he is better than some others though.
Yeah, and the Spear of Longinus was awesome! Or did they call it Lance of Longinus? Whatever, it is the same thing.
Mankind's greatest achievment? Dragonball Z. Bar none.
but that seems to be unfair considering that an Eva is a "super robot" and Gundam's are tactical weapons and get destroyed easily, Guymalefs should be able to win this as these are magically powered... though i seem to suggest that evas have mystical powers themselves
Eva's are.... well, hard to explain even after seeing the series several times. Anyway, Eva's aren't robots, they are organic lifeforms covered in protective armor/restraints.
All Eva's can generate an AT field so no matter what in a battle they would probably win, provided they have the power supply to stay active.
Well, they should make a show were all three of those types of Mecha have to fight each other, lol. then we can find out.
I vote for Gundams all the way they are the coolest and the best.

Siggies made by Seyia and Nespa
Id choose Gundam cause ive never seen the other anime (Eva, guymelefs)
Well, SOMEONE has to vote for Eva's, so I guess I will. Nobody's gonna be able to beat Unit 01
Ignorance isn't bliss, blissful people are just incredibly ignorant.
"The phrase 'dead meat' is so redundant. Once something gets
classified as 'meat,' it's chances of recovery are pretty slim."
"There's a porkchop in the freezer I'm optimistic about. He's a fighter."
Aww! I vote for the Guymelefs lol! They're being left out ^-^ I love Escaflowne... I also love Gundam 02 though ^_^ Deathscythe... Oh yes! So First choice would be a Guymelef (Preferably Escaflowne) and second would be a Gundam (Deathscythe) Woohoo! lol ^_^
<Rawking out~>[<3 many J/K artists such as Gackt, Hyde, DBSK etc]
All come on now gundams all the way
art and anime is my life.
Seriously though, if they were all fighting, Gundams would utterly slaughter Evas and Melefs. Especially if we are talking about Gundams from the Cosmic Era Timeline. ZGMF-X20A Strike Fredom Gundam... ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam... So freaking glorious... and powerful...
However, this is poll about which is your favorite, not which is stronger...
Mankind's greatest achievment? Dragonball Z. Bar none.
You forgot Legent and Inf Justice... And yes Akatsuki, It has Dragoons
Guymelefs are ok, and so are gundams but EVAs just kick @$$ all the way
really when you think about it gundams a pretty rubbish, would a gundam on its own hold out agisnt EVA 01 whrns its berserker? and would a gundam be able to beat a guymelef in close-renge combat?
Well if the Turn-A, Strike Freedom+METEOR,Dendrobium, and Double X w/ G-bits are Mass Produced. Say Goodbye to everything.
Another thing is that... Yes. Apparently the Destiny Gundam and Infinite Justice could own a Guymalef 24/7 in Melee

From what is considered an inferior vintage, but nothing wrong here. Good balanced flavors with reasonable nose, depth and finish. Obviously not classic, but nice performance from maligned vintage.
Ripple and Ridonculous Wines (Ripple - Cleveland Park - Washington, DC): One of my favorites of the night. Gorgeous aromatic display, incrementally better after three hours. So pure and elegant on the palate. Perfect balance between tannins and acid. Bright, lively currants and dark cherries complemented by a seamless blend of olive, tobacco, anise, cigar smoke, pickling spices. So much non-fruit complexity combined with waves of gorgeous, pure fruit. I'd love to try this again in five years.
Solid but fading a bit with typical bordelaise restraint found in Monte Bello. Smoky, leather, cherry in the nez, with flavors of cherry, leather and cigar wrapper. Good, but fading, I think.
This was weird on opening but after a 30 minutes, it changed character, losing a kind of rubbery, menthol note. After that, a nicely aged Monte Bello emerged, showing notes of cherry, leather, mint and plenty of tannin. I think these may be nearing completion date. I might drink in the next 2-4 years.
Parker in Dec 2003 gave this a 90 rating, and I think he undersold this one.. I had it at a steakhouse dinner along with another 2000 Napa Cab, Shafer's Hillside Select. We decanted it for about 1 hour, and then drank it with our meal. This was by far the better of the two wines. Long finish, amazingly complex and it just kept getting better. It is also much more "bordeaux" like than the Shafer. A quick tip: Monte Bello always seems to need decanting and breathing. They don't seem to show well on a pop and pour taste.

News from the Headteacher
Dear Parents and Carers
I know that you will join with me in paying tribute to the outstanding achievements of our students at the College over the last few months.
You will see recorded on the College website a full report of their achievements.
These range from music, drama, dance, public speaking, academic achievement and sporting success – you name it we have done it and in most cases have won in many prestigious events, contests and festivals.
Our young people really do live out the College Mission Statement;
'Only the Best will do'
I know you will wish to congratulate them all, also paying tribute to our staff who work so hard in their support of the young people in our care.
Perhaps this is best summed up by the following quote;
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavour. Vince Lombardi
Paul Dickinson

Are HTML entities still useful or should I simply create UTF-8 encoded html documents? Please explain why.
If the encoding is set correctly (and the document is saved as UTF-8) you should be able to work with just the characters. From the W3C:
However, you still need to use entities for special characters such at greater/less than.
Entities are useful in program source code files (in programs that output HTML). Many coding standards say, that files should be in plain ASCII. Except of course the files that actually contain the textual content – for example .po files with translations.
When you have a long file with few non-ASCII characters inside, then it's extremely easy to save the file in wrong encoding without noticing that your characters got screwed.
Another good reason to use non-ASCII characters is similar-looking chracters. Can you spot the difference between the next two lines of code:
But by using entities the difference is obvious:
But outside of program source code files, UTF-8 is clearly the way to go.
In my experience as long as your data really is UTF-8 and you are correctly telling the browser that it is UTF-8 then you don't need to use entities. Except for things like >, <, " ; of course.
