We bring you the latest live look and listen at the upcoming new M6 coupe (F13) and convertible (F12) undergoing some final testing at the Nurburgring. We've also posted below a set of photos from the testing.
Not much camouflage remains, so its general shape and styling is easy to imagine. As for sounds, the M6 sounds quite similar to the F10 M5, owing to sharing the M5′s 4.4L 560hp twinpower twin turbo V8 S63Tu engine [specs]. This prototype appears to be testing carbon ceramic brakes, which … CONTINUED
Last week we spied the exposed BMW M6 coupe's front end M styled bumper. Working off those images, we've produced a render which reveals what the M6 coupe should resemble when all the camouflage comes off. Look for an M6 coupe reveal sometime later this year/early next year.
We have just spied a 2012 M6 coupe bearing its and rear end designs clearly on the streets of Munich for the first time. We recently had a brief look at the M6′s bumper styling when it first appeared uncovered while testing (and crashing unfortunately) on the Nurburgring.
We can now tell clearly that the M6 coupe does not simply adopt the F10 M5′s front lower bumper design whole cloth, but has its own sleek take on it. The biggest difference are the side air ducts, which … CONTINUED
The 2012 BMW M6 has dropped some camouflage, revealing much of its front and rear bumper/diffuser styling for the first time. The front bumper appears to be a bit more aggressive than the F10 M5′s front bumper, with larger and more prominent 'fins' coming out/down from the bumper. The rear diffuser also features some aggressive styling, with prominent fins in the rear as well. The M6 coupe may also be featuring a carbon fiber roof, as the roof's camouflage still remains.
The occasion unfortunately ended with a … CONTINUED
CAR magazine took the 2012 640i coupe out for their first drive experience of BMW's newest 6-series coupe (the F13). The review was conducted by a self-described hardened BMW fan who we presume has plenty of BMW experience with which to compare the F13 against.
The reviewer falls in love with the drivetrain, but does he love the car overall? It sounds like the answer is "it depends." Viewed properly as a GT car, the car has no better rivals in the luxury coupe segment. Where it … CONTINUED
Based on recent spy photos of the upcoming M6 coupe and cribbing some details from the F10 M5, we've generated some renders of BMW's upcoming range topping M coupe. Enjoy!
Be sure to follow our F12/F13 M6 coverage @ http://www.bimmerpost.com/m6/
We bring you more photos of the upcoming BMW 6 series Gran Coupe, which continues testing in Germany. Spotted for the first time here is a black mule (all previous prototypes were white). It continues to impress us with its extremely low slung and sleek stance and proportions.
Current expectation is for the Gran Coupe to hit showrooms in 2012 as a 2013 Model Year vehicle. Engine range is expected to be identical to the 6-Series Coupe.
Surprisingly, despite the slew of M6 spy photos we've brought you since last year, not a single prototype has been in any color other than black. That's no longer the case as this space gray F12 M6 convertible was just spied on the streets of Munich.
The camouflage level remains the same as recent M6 convertible mules, with the front and rear fascia still mostly masked, but, as we've discussed previously — the details on the rear bumper can be made out through the tape, and appears … CONTINUED
The 2012 BMW F13 M6 coupe has lost much of its camouflage, providing the most revealing look yet at the upcoming range topping M coupe. The F13 M6 coupe has now entered FEP (final evaulation phase). We think that the M6 may look wider than the regular 6-series coupe, perhaps to accomodate the super wide rear tires.
Compared to the regular F13 coupe, the rear bumper reflectors have been moved up to just under the rear tail lights for a sportier look. This particular F13 M6 coupe … CONTINUED
Autoblog has posted its first drive review of the 2012 6-series coupe. Although the article is a bit difficult to follow, inside are some of its highlights.
Just considering sheer finish and accommodation for four real-sized adults, this new 2+2 BMW fairly well beats the Jaguar XK, Audi S5, and Mercedes E-Class Coupe – with or without a metal roof.
Granted, all the V8s we care to talk about here feel more like rumbling rebels of the road, but this inline powerplant from BMW is arguably the best … CONTINUED
The BMW 6 Series coupe will be available at dealerships later this fall, and now BMW has taken the wraps off the entire engine and model range of the 6-Series Coupe.
And it looks like they are giving the 6-Series the star treatment with availability of a diesel variant (640d), an xDrive variant (650i) and of course M-Sport and Individual vehicles. The new xDrive system will only be available on the 650i, but as was reported earlier a 6-cylinder 640i is now available, which should make … CONTINUED
The upcoming BMW 6-Series Coupe will come in a 640i flavor, featuring the turbocharged inline-6 series dubbed the N55. This configuration has so far not made it to the US on the Cabrio version, but Autoblog.com has confirmed that the 640i will make it here in both Coupe and Cabrio versions when the coupe arrives this fall.
The N55 is a TwinPower turbo 3.0L inline-6 pumping out 316HP and 332ft-lb of torque in European spec.
In addition to the N55, Autoblog has also learnt that the AWD xDrive … CONTINUED
Hartge has begun its tuning program for the new 6-series. Thus far, the Hartge 6-series is equipped with a stainless steel sport exhaust system, 19″ or 20″ Hartge wheels, and lower springs which lower the car by 30mm front and 25mm rear.
No info on yet what cosmetic aero parts will be forthcoming.
The interiors of Hartge car can be equipped with Hartge mats, steering wheel, and aluminum pedal set.
An astute (and camera equipped) site member spotted this Le Mans blue F13 6-series coupe M-sport on the way to work this morning. This is the first time we have seen the 6-series coupe M-sport prototype with the actual M-sport wheels, which we uncovered last month. Thanks to LeMans335xiE90 for his efforts, as he was 1 hour late to work for bringing us this video.
The official release and announcement of the 6-series convertible is coming today. Autoexpress has already printed photos in their latest edition and BMW insider Scott teases with the same announcement. Stay tuned to our homepage!
We bring you the first sighting of the next generation 6-series coupe (F12) testing on the Nurburgring. The last coupe sightings were back in April and only F13 convertibles have been spotted since. This comes as no surprise as the coupe is scheduled for production a few months after the start of convertible production.
Judging by the exhaust and premium sport wheels, this appears to be a 650i coupe.
Here is the BMW announced production schedule for the F12 / F13 6-series coupe and convertible.
March 2011 … CONTINUED
The upcoming 6-series has been one of the most frequently spied future BMWs as it's one of the BMW models that will be revealed in the next few months (Winter of 2010/2011). This is the first time a blue convertible has been spotted and also some of the best photos yet of the grill/duct work of the front bumper. The profile shot shows off the incredibly sleek silhouette that the F13 6-series convertible will have.

This morning, we drove first to the agora or marketplace of the ancient city of Smyrna. Although I've been here several times before, I had never previously visited the agora. Instead, I had been up on the acropolis. But the agora is much more interesting, particularly in its marvelous use of arches and keystones.
Smyrna, today's Izmir, is one of the seven churches of the Revelation of John, and one of Christendom's earliest martyrs, St. Polycarp (AD 69-155), was a bishop here. He is said to have been a follower of John the Beloved, who lived in Ephesus, about forty-five miles to the south, and Irenaeus claims to have heard him recount what John had told him about his (John's) experiences with Jesus and what he had heard from others who had known the Savior while he lived. As a very old man, Bishop Polycarp was threatened with death unless he denied Christ. "Eighty-six years have I served him," he reportedly replied. "How can I now blaspheme my King and Savior? Bring forth what you will." So he was burned to death.
Then we drove to ancient Sardis, another of "the seven churches of Asia." (I lectured on the bus on the biographies of Athanasius and Arius, the two principal antagonists at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325.) Sardis is very much off the beaten path — cruise ship tours, painfully evident in crowded Ephesus, don't make it so far inland — but it's a favorite of mine, and a real gem. First, we went to the site of the ancient temple of Artemis, with its dramatic setting at the foot of a mountain. (See above.) Then, after a good Turkish lunch at a roadside restaurant, we visited the ancient Jewish synagogue and the gymnasium that stood, perhaps rather uncomfortably for the Jews, directly next door.
When King Midas was granted his foolish wish that everything he touched would turn to gold, he soon discovered that his new power could have terrible, even tragic, consequences, and he very quickly decided that he wanted to be rid of it. Finally, he washed himself clean in the river that runs by Sardis, and its banks turned to gold. Which points to the historic fact that gold has long been found in the river by those willing to pan for it.
Later, King Croesus, reputed to be the richest man in the world — "as rich as Croesus," people who had at least a nodding second-hand acquaintance with the classics used to say — ruled in Sardis. When the Persians, led by Cyrus the Great, were passing through the area, Croesus wanted to know whether he should declare war on them. The oracle responded ambiguously: "If you make war against the Persians," she said, "you will destroy a great empire." The prediction was correct. Croesus simply didn't realize that the "great empire" that would be destroyed was his own. After the siege, Cyrus held him captive in his palace. Hearing a great deal of noise, Croesus asked Cyrus what was going on. My men, Cyrus answered, are pillaging your city and taking your possessions. No they're not, replied Croesus. I no longer have any possessions. It's your city that they're pillaging, your property that they're looting.
Appropriately, perhaps, the very first coins were minted in the kingdom of Lydia, whose capital was Sardis.
After our visit to Sardis, we returned to Izmir where, before dinner, I lectured for an hour on Constantine the Great.

Expect ideas to flow when water experts meet here
Focus will be on real-world solutions when Water Week starts next month
Published on Jun 1, 2014 2:29 PM
WHETHER it is delivering clean water in poor countries or creating more efficient filtration systems, the next generation of water industry leaders and entrepreneurs here hope to take their technology to the next level when the Singapore International Water Week returns next month.
Seventeen teams, made up of Singaporeans and foreigners, have been going through a new nine-week programme to help them commercialise their ideas and form their own companies.
And some of them will get to pitch their ideas to an audience of global companies and financiers during the five-day Water Week's new Hydro Pitch Day.
Having access to enough clean water is one of the most pressing problems globally. In the face of increasing urbanisation, climate change and shrinking resources, new solutions to slake the world's thirst are critical.
The HydroPreneur Programme is part of this year's Water Week, and its partners are the National University of Singapore and the Founder Institute, which trains aspiring entrepreneurs in areas like recruitment, branding and legal work.
The inaugural programme aims to develop entrepreneurial talent and cutting-edge ventures in the water industry.
Its mentors include Mr Nigel Wylie, who has managed the construction of wastewater treatment systems across the United States and Asia, and Mr Mike Holt, managing partner of technology incubation firm Get2Volume, which has offices in Singapore and the Silicon Valley in the US.
Programme participant Melvin Tang, 28, said he hopes to make his mark with a low-cost filtration device that can provide clean drinking water for people in low-income, developing countries. "The experience in the programme has been amazing as we get to learn from people in the industry," he said.
Mr Wylie, founder and a director of the Singapore-based water technology firm Thrive Water, said he hoped to help the participants avoid his mistakes. The company is a wastewater and water treatment solutions provider.
"A lot of it has to do with marketing and sales," he said.
"Doing it from scratch and cold-calling, for example, is very difficult for a beginner. I would advise them to seek partnerships with larger companies who can package and sell their inventions more easily."
The Singapore International Water Week is part of the Government's strategic programme to grow the water industry and develop water technologies, and creates a global platform for sharing and developing innovative water solutions. Stakeholders from the global water industry gather at the event to share business opportunities and showcase the latest water technologies.
The Straits Times is the media partner for the Singapore International Water Week, the World Cities Summit and the CleanEnviro Summit Singapore, all of which are taking place in the first week of next month.
PUB chief executive Chew Men Leong yesterday said: "We have always placed great value in sustainable solutions... to enhance our water security, despite our physical constraints.
"That is one of the reasons for (Water Week) to focus on innovative and sustainable water solutions with real-world applications and benefits."

Barbara Barker of Newsday caught up with Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson who had some nice things to say about Zack Wheeler, but also pointed out what the young right-hander's main problem is. "You've got to like his arm," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He has a good fastball and breaking stuff. But it's command. It's always going to be command up here. No matter how hard you throw, you have to locate. That's been a little bit of his problem." "It's unfair to compare anyone to Harvey," he said. "He's exceptional. He's got the stuff and he has command. This kid has the stuff. He just doesn't have his location down pat." A couple of the Nats players also weighed in on Wheeler including Adam LaRoche who crushed one of his fastballs for a second-deck home run. He thought the comparisons to Matt Harvey are unfair and unfounded. LaRoche says Harvey is the best pitcher he's ever faced in his career. Ryan Zimmerman offered this advice for Wheeler: "He had trou

CFN Analysis
Who Can Replace Urban?
Pete Fiutak
How do you replace Urban Meyer?
How did you replace Steve Spurrier?
It's Florida, it's a monster, and yes, it's bigger than any one head
coach, but it's still asking for the world to replace a legendary
producer like Meyer. After Spurrier left, the program unleashed Ron Zook
into the college football consciousness, and while it didn't work out,
he recruited well enough to lay the foundation for a coach of Meyer's
caliber to step in win a national title.
To the next head ball coach at the University of Florida: Merry
Zook was fired with a well-stocked pantry. Meyer is leaving with a
loaded warehouse of goodies for the next head man. There will be no
grace period. There will be no time for adjustments. There will be no
There will be no five-year plan. There will be no reason to cut the next
guy any slack. There will be no excuses.
This isn't Brian Kelly walking into Notre Dame, saying he wants to win
right away, but everyone with a brain knowing that it's going to take a
few years. This isn't Rich Rodriguez going to Michigan a few years ago,
with the program needing to change from IBM to Apple and needing to
undergo a total overhaul in philosophies. This is a team and a program
that can and should demand a national title next year. That's how much
talent Meyer has amassed.
Any coach worth his salt should be dreaming of this job and this
opportunity, and athletic director Jeremy Foley should have his pick of
the beauty queens. There's no need to go with another reach, like Zook,
and there's no need to go after a guy just because he has ties to the
program or might fit. Any good coach can fit in with the resources that
will be at his disposal, however, the gig might not be for everyone.
Every head coaching job is stressful, but this would be a true pressure
cooker. The expectations are going to be through the roof from Day One
to not only win, but to try to continue to success of Urban Meyer. 2010
was the rebuilding year; 2011 is when it's supposed to all pay off no
matter who's at the helm.
So who are the top candidates to fill the spot? Going from the obvious
to the surreal ...
Dan Mullen, Mississippi State head coach
After what he did making MSU a player in the SEC, and with the
way he's able to recruit, he would be the best fit to come in and build
on what Meyer has done. I Mullen could do what he did in Starkville, he
might be able to do wonders in Gainesville. The former Gator offensive
coordinator was the Tebow whisperer early on, and he knows how to run
the spread that brought so much success to the program. He left on the
best of terms and didn't burn any bridges, and not even MSU would be too
upset if Mullen made the jump. Already in the mix for the Miami job, MSU
is a stop-gap for Mullen. However, while Mississippi State and Mullen
come out as the clean whistle blowers in the Cam Newton situation, there
might be a thought that the entire controversy is too toxic to touch
right now and there might be some consideration to breaking ties from
the Meyer pack and starting out new.
Charlie Strong, Louisville head coach
The former Florida defensive coordinator is widely respected as
a recruiter, a coach, and by the Gator program. There was some thought
that he'd be the one to take over for Meyer after the first resignation,
but the timing wasn't right and he had to bail for Louisville, where he
instantly turned the program around and did a phenomenal job with the
defense. He's a star in the making, but Louisville isn't going to be too
helpful to let him go after just one great year.
Chris Petersen, Boise State head coach
The writing might be on the wall. He might be a
true-blue-blue-turf believer, but Boise State hit its ceiling. This was
the year when it was supposed to happen, and it didn't, and while the
move to the Mountain West was supposed to be the big move needed to make
the Broncos a bigger national player, the conference is gutted without
Utah, BYU, and now, TCU. It's a lateral move from the WAC. While
Petersen has made no noise whatsoever about leaving, his pay of about
$1.5 million per year would be doubled instantly if he took over at
Florida. The concern, though, is that Boise State coaches have been
colossal flame-outs when they got their chance in the sun. Dirk Koetter
at Arizona State and Dan Hawkins at Colorado were puzzlingly mediocre.
Kyle Whittingham, Utah head coach
Meyer went from being great at Utah to a legend at Florida.
Whittingham isn't Meyer, but he's a very good, very sound head coach who
took what Meyer started even further. Could he do the same for Florida?
It might seem like it would make sense, but this isn't the time to make
a big jump with Utah about to go to the Pac 12. Whttingham is the type
who might like to make Utah his program as it makes the next step
forward rather than be a shoe-filler.
Brady Hoke, San Diego State head coach
Ball State was one of the worst programs in college football.
Hoke came up with a 12-0 regular season. San Diego State was one of the
most mediocre programs in college football and was stuck in the mud as
coach after coach tried and failed to capitalize on all the positives
the program had to offer from location, weather, to the recruiting base.
Hoke turned the place around in a blink and made it one of the stars of
the Mountain West. He's a rising star, and of all the possible
candidates, he's the one who could take what's already in place - most
notably a passing quarterback in John Brantley - and make it a champion
the fastest.
No, Jim Harbaugh isn't leaving Stanford for Florida. He's destined for
the pros, but he's probably sticking around The Farm for at least
another year. No, Jon Gruden isn't going to be a college head coach.
There an NFC West job with his name on it. No, no one named Stoops will
be in the mix, Will Muschamp isn't leaving Texas, and Gary Patterson,
who seems happy making his mark at TCU and taking it to the Big East,
isn't exactly the right fit. And no, offensive coordinator Steve Addazio
won't get the bump like he was supposed to get last year. His job was
hanging by a thread after the 2010 collapse, and Gator Nation won't be
him getting the full-time job this time around.
Foley won't pull a Ron Zook. The job is too big and too good to take a
flier, and it's going to be a big, splashy name taking over (even if
it's a top coordinator like Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart,
who's a big, splashy name in the college football world).
One thing's for sure, though, Miami and Pitt, your vacant coaching jobs
just got pushed down a notch.

DALLAS (AP) — Their blog numbers reveal just how curiously fascinated the public is with Carrie and Gavin Jones: more than a million hits. That's what happens when you have five babies at once, the last of whom, Seth, finally was well enough for doctors to send home late last month.
All quintuplets born in Dallas now out of hospital
"It's a little hectic," Carrie Jones, 35, said with newborns squealing in the background. "But we are just so happy, happy, happy to have Seth home; the hectic is OK."
The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/WCAVc5 ) reports the couple also has an older son, Isaac, who turned 9 last month, and Mother Jones has even found a way to squeeze out an hour of volunteer time at his elementary school.
"That's my one act of service for the entire week," she said.
Gavin Jones, 35, summed up their suddenly chaotic life this way: "There's never a baby without a need. Every once in a while, we have one or two babies asleep, but it's never-ending neediness."
The Jones quintuplets arrived Aug. 9, the first ever born at St. Paul University Hospital, an extension of UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Since then, the family has been on a virtual roller-coaster ride of emotions — from fear, frustration and anger to blissful joy and praise. Said Gavin Jones on gavincarrie.blogspot.com Jan. 29:
"A lot of water has gone under this bridge since then. What an amazing change our family has seen. Our prayer is that these 1 million hits and counting will be a web-portal-view of God's love, care, and wisdom."
Seth's homecoming — joining newborns Will, David, Marcie and Grace — was both a relief and a reality check.
Beset with severe breathing problems that aren't unusual for multiple, prematurely born babies, Seth had remained hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit at Children's Medical Center Dallas.
His soaring medical costs complicated the family's ability to bring him home. Before hospital officials realized the Joneses had "maxed out" their insurance for Seth, they were trying to line up eight-hour-a-day professional nursing care once the infant was released.
"Since October, in four months, he's cost $750,000 — well over $1 million since he was born," his father said.
Luckily, he said, the family qualified for Medicaid, which enabled them to bring their fifth newborn home to Duncanville.

My photos enable me to share some of my undersea adventures with divers and non divers alike. In doing so, I hope to show the beauty and majesty as well as the mystery of our worlds oceans. Diving after seven years and logging over 1000+ dives I realized that our oceans are not an inexhaustable resource which we can not afford to squander. Our oceans is something we need to manage conservatably. Our lives and futures depend on this.

Claims Trading Procedures
For the avoidance of doubt, these procedures do not relate to the transfer of claims to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. For more information on transfers of claims to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, please refer to their website, whose address is: http://www.fscs.org.uk/
Important disclaimers:
This notice is provided by Richard Fleming, Richard Heis and Mike Pink of KPMG LLP, together the Joint Special Administrators (the "JSAs") for MF Global UK Limited (in special administration) ("MFG UK"). The JSAs were appointed pursuant to a court order dated 31 October 2011 in accordance with the investment bank special administration regulations 2011.
If you think you have one or more claims against MFG UK, we, the JSAs, strongly advise you to take your own financial and legal advice prior to entering into a transaction with a third party in relation to one or more of your claims, in which such third party (the "buyer") agrees to buy your claim from you (the "transaction").
Please note that it has come to our attention that there are one or more parties holding themselves out as acquirers of claims against MFG UK that appear to be potentially misleading or dishonest in terms of their sales literature and offer. Sellers should be careful to check the identity and credentials of buyers before sharing personal or commercially sensitive information. Any suspicions should be reported to the Police and/or the FSA.
You may have a right to claim under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the "FSCS"). We strongly encourage you to contact the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, whose web address is: http://www.fscs.org.uk.
We do not hold ourselves out to be investment or financial advisors; however, when considering whether to enter into any transactions with such buyers, we would encourage you to consider the following carefully:
You should not place reliance on MFG UK or the JSAs with respect to transactions which you enter into with buyers in relation to your claims. MFG UK and the JSAs are only parties to such transactions to the extent that they register a transfer of the ownership of your claim from you to the buyer.
In addition, by becoming a party to such transactions, MFG UK and the JSAs:
1. Summary
We, the JSAs, are aware that trading of claims related to Client Assets, Client Money and unsecured claims of MFG UK is beginning to occur in the markets. This is led by third party banks, dealers and global investment funds who approach you, as MFG UK claimants, for the transfer of your claims entitlements to them. Such third parties act as buyers (the "Buyers") in a transaction in which you are the seller of one or more of your claims in exchange, usually, for a sum of money. While we do not take a view on the trading of claims, we are prescribing the following approach in order to standardize the process.
2. Transfer forms
In order to standardize the claims trading process and to reduce the administrative burden on MFG UK, we propose the use of standard form assignment documentation based on the Loan Market Association's (LMA) standard secondary debt trading documentation, including a form of assignment (the 'Assignment') and the corresponding confirmation. Additionally, the JSA's will require that the Buyers and the sellers of any claims must deliver a transfer notice, substantially in the form of which is set out in Annex A of the Assignment, to the JSA's (the 'Transfer Notice') to evidence the transfer of your claims to the Buyer. Although it is not impossible, we would generally not challenge any transfer made under such documentation.
However, you should be aware that:
(i) in the event that you are deemed to be a net debtor to MFG UK, you shall remain liable to MFG UK and the claim which you have purported to sell to the Buyer shall be considered void from the outset; and
(ii) in the event that any Buyer attempts to use a set-off, offset or otherwise reduce its own or another party's liabilities to MFG UK with a claim transferred to it by you, such transferred claim shall be considered void from the outset and reduced to a value of zero.
Claim transfer documentation
The following two on-boarding forms are ONLY to be completed by debt and claims traders wishing to purchase claims against MFG UK who have not previously been on-boarded. They are not intended for current creditors or clients of MFG UK. If you are in doubt about whether you need to provide this information, please contact email@example.com. For the avoidance of doubt, when providing information related to the on-boarding process, electronic copies of the documents are sufficient:
3. Notice to buyers regarding know your customer and anti-money laundering obligations.
By purchasing a claim, Buyers will become subject to MFG UK's standard Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering policies. As such, no monies will be paid on transferred claims to Buyers until all Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering checks on the Buyer have been completed.
4. Fees
For a transfer of your claim to become effective, all fees with regard to such transfer must be paid in full, to MFG UK, with immediately available funds. Evidence of payment of fees must be submitted with any Transfer Notice. Bank details can be found in the Transfer Notice.
(I) One-off fee for Buyers to cover estimated costs associated with Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering requirements:
Depending on the type of entity they are, Buyers will be required to pay the following one-off fees to cover the costs associated with the completion of all Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering checks on the Buyer.
a. An FSA regulated or EU passported entity trading for its own account: £1,000;
b. An FSA regulated or EU passported entity trading on behalf of an entity to which they are officially listed as the investment advisor or investment manager: £2,500.
c. An entity incorporated and regulated in the G-7 or European Union trading for its own account or trading on behalf of an entity to which they are officially listed as the investment advisor or investment manager: £7,500.
d. All other entities shall be charged at our discretion.
We reserve the right to increase such fees based on the complexity of a given case.
(II) Per transfer fee:
In order to complete the transfer of your claim, Buyers will be required to pay a standard per transfer fee as follows:
a. The standard per transfer fee shall be £2,000.
b. Such fee will be increased in instances of transfers to multiple Buyers to cover additional expenses.
c. We, in our sole discretion, may reduce such fees in the case of bulk transfers.
d. We reserve the right to increase such fees based on the complexity of a given case.

Series: Responding to "Laudato Si'" by Pope Francis (4 entries)
Pope Francis's June 2015 encyclical has stirred international conversation on how science and faith come together on the question of ecology and climate change. This short series features several responses from friends of BioLogos, including world-renowned Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. The series concludes with closing thoughts by BioLogos content manager Jim Stump.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapter 4
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (4 entries)
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology (6 entries)
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Caution! Design Arguments Ahead
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
Understanding Evolution: The Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity, Part 1
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
Science as an Instrument of Worship, Part 3
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.

TWELVE April
Ein MTB Video von polismedia - 9,841 views
The fourth part of the series takes us to a place which every athlete would better avoid. Michalu2;019s shoulder, injured at the last yearu2;019s 4X World Cup in Canada, seemed to be finally OK ... until his tumble in the training for BMX Supercross in Madrid. The two BMX races in Florida confirmed that old problems were back again and so, contrary to the plan, the camera of Rob Trnka aimed at a sterile environment of the rehabilitation clinic Malvazinky instead of the dust of races...
But first, we stop in 9395 Bikes, the kingdom of bike-epicures, which is dominated by dexterous hands and incessant doses of jokes of Dlouhan, the tallest of all the mechanics there. In this place Michalu2;019s new machines come into world with the AGang name before each season.
Two weeks were left until the first part of the World Cup in Belgian Houffalize and Michal had to watch the opening race of the Czech Cup and the premiere happening Euro Fourcross Series in the home track Polis.13 only as a spectator. But in the end he succumbed to temptation and in the evening he took his place at the start for training at least for a while.
The double world champion has found an amazing place for the last days for preparations before the proper start of the main season in Krusne hory on the fourcross track in Kraslice and on surrounding trails.
Looking in the latest results we can be sure that there is nothing that could beat Michal Prokop. But thanks to the TWELVE you also already know that the way to the top is sometimes more long and winding than the Robu2;019s trails.

After the death of the Queen's first child, the King's concubine gave birth to a son which greatly upset the Queen. She eventually gathered strength and control and banished husband's concubine and child out of the palace. Part of the Last Queen of Korea Series
Lorraine Toler is an artist from Tacoma Washington and studied art at Washington State University. Toler's art work is a form of storytelling.

Briers suggests the second reason as: "Risk management is incorrectly positioned as a compliance function or a governance obligation. Management will go along with a one-day workshop on risk, but the whole exercise is seen as a paper chase." He states that risk management is regarded as a mechanism for describing risks and communicating them to the Board, but it is not seen as a strategic function, and is not part of the business planning cycle. According to Briers: "It is not considered an essential piece of strategy formulation. It exists in a parallel universe."

Risk management, therefore, needs to be brought down to earth. Paolo Mantovano, Partner, KPMG in Italy, believes that: "Given the fast-changing environment, it is essential that the risk function is embedded in the business and is always kept updated about organizational, strategic, business changes or decisions, as well as about external changes that could expose the company to emerging unknown risks."
There is no doubt that executives are aware of the need to manage risk; it is clearly seen as a high priority among ENR companies surveyed, however, only 65 percent of respondents build it into strategic planning decisions often or constantly. "Things are done intuitively, but not systematically," says Wilson. "The process should be about presenting options and monitoring the hurdles faced in reaching strategic objectives."
Briers states that: "Companies mistakenly think they can gradually implement a program of enterprise risk management and do so in a piecemeal fashion." But instead, he thinks they should try to get all the pieces of the risk management puzzle in place in 12 months or less. "Companies assume that the more difficult things, like measuring risk in dollar terms, can wait until some other time, but there has to be a complete system of enterprise risk management put in place right away," he adds.

My "go to jacket" right now
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is one of the best items I have picked up from Backcountry.com. It is definitely warm and roomy. For those in Utah winter of 2013 has proven to be pretty chilly. I wear this jacket nearly every day with just a t-shirt under and I am just fine doing my normal running around. The jacket is a little boxy, and tends to run large. I normally wear a large t-shirt, hoodie, etc and I returned this item in large in favor of a medium. It works great for layering under a shell up on the mountain or as a going out and running around jacket by itself

Over the last few months I've been checking out the campaigns on Kickstarter.
With many Kickstarter campaigns, the question is - what's in it for me? And, I guess that's a fair question as many of these campaigns are seeking funds to start a commercial business.
However, one campaign that I came across last week was the Johnston Mark II rocket.
The campaign is being run by Bryan Friestad, a Junior at Johnston Senior High School in Johnston, Iowa; he's hoping to use the funds to complete a school project.
Bryan has plans on building a nice big 10 feet tall and 3 inches in diameter blue-tube rocket with a 54mm motor mount.
Cesaroni is his motor hardware of choice. He's seeking to purchase a 54mm starter set along with a P54-3G White reload (It's a K350)
The Johnston Mark II rocket will be carrying a payload that includes an 808 Key chain camera, A Transolve BeepX sonic beacon for recovery and a Jolly Logic AltimeterTwo - giving this project some data back after the flight.
A full breakdown of the costs involved in the project is available on the Kickstarter page.
So, that question - What's in it for me? That's an easy one! I've got an opportunity to pay it forward, to give back to the rocket community in a positive way. Oh, and since I've selected the $50 "Official Sponsor" level, I get my website's name on the rocket, too! Both pretty neat!
Now it's your turn! Head on over to Bryan's campaign on Kickstarter and pledge a few dollars! The campaign is active now, through to October 23rd 2014 - Don't leave it to the last minute to get on board!
The Semroc Red-Eye was one of the last kits released by Semroc prior to the passing of Carl McLawhorn and I built this just after hearing the news.
The Red-Eye is part of Semroc's Retro-Repro range, originally being released by Centuri between 1981 and 1983.
The Red-Eye flies on a 13mm motor and employes streamer recovery for the motor and tumble recovery for the rest of the airframe.
With perfect weather, Jase and his family joined us at the Dandenong Wetlands for a small launch. Jase had been working with his daughter Zoe on a school project and had built a fantastic looking rocket. This was the first opportunity to launch it on an Estes D12-3 motor.
(Zoe's Rocket on a D12-3)
I also launched "Twisted" - the Finless Rocket!!
So, how did it fly? Check out the video after the jump. You can also check out the full set of photos of the day here on Flickr.
Some time ago I had an idea for a spin-stabilised rocket. Instead of using fins, I thought if I could get a rocket to spin fast enough, it would travel straight much like a bullet does. The idea bumped around inside my head until the other day - so I started building!
First thing was to construct a motor mount. This comprised of a cluster of three 13mm motors. I also created an internal launch lug.
Continued after the jump!
Saturday June 8 was the first of a two day launch for Rocketry Victoria and the weather couldn't have been better!
I launched two rockets - My 10" Art Applewhite saucer on 3 D motors and my upscale Blue Bird Zero on a H128 - both great flights :)
More photos and videos after the jump or check out the full set of photos here on Flickr
With the announcement of Rocketfest XVIII, a theme was chosen - "Go Small". The guidelines for the competition was to build the smallest stable flying rocket that used an un-modified Estes motor.
Since the 13mm A3-4 and A10-3 motors are the smallest Estes motors currently in production, this is what I went with. My idea was to create a spool rocket.
I decided to create two - one using a single motor and the other, a cluster of thee motors.
How did they fly? Check out the videos after the jump!
I like small rockets, so building the Fliskits Tumble Weed looked like a lot of fun!
The build is fairly straight-forward with only a handful of parts needed.
Continued after the jump...
May 5th marked the first launch for the year. It was a nice warm day with little wind - you couldn't have asked for better conditions.
The big launch of the day was Karl's 1/4 scale V2. Karl's working towards building a full 1:1 scale model. The flight was fantastic. Recovery was hampered only by the parachute catching on the guy-wires used to help keep the fins straight.
More photos after the jump
Towards the end of 2012, I signed up for the Secret Santa on the Rocketry Forum. During the course of the event, names were swapped and everyone posted off a gift to someone else. My secret santa arranged for one of Art Applewhite's 10" Clustered flying saucers to be delivered under my tree!
A little while ago I started work on the saucer. The kit comprised of a sheet of foam-core board, some bright green paper and a good selection of tubes. The build was straight-forward and the bulk of the build was completed in a couple of evenings. I didn't document the build.
Here's the final result -
I was recently deployed with Strike team 0803 to Heyfield in Eastern Victoria to help fight the fires that had burnt through Heyfield, Seaton and Glenmaggie. I was on night shift on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th of Jan, 2013. These are some of the photos I took over those few days.

More photos on Flickr.
Back in November Bill from 3D Rocketry announced his new kit, the Nautilus III I thought it looked like a super rocket so I contacted Bill and he was happy to post one off to Australia and it arrived within a couple of weeks.
First impressions is that this is a good solid kit. The 54mm body tube is solid and has a very tough nose cone. The centering rings are 4mm ply and the fins are 3mm ply. The instructions are straight forward and even describes how to do internal fillets - something that you'll want to do as externally, there's some strips of basswood that go between the body tube and the fins.
I used an Estes 29mm motor retainer (for the price, these are great value). I swapped out the supplied launch lug for rail buttons and attached the shock cord to the forward centering ring with a screw-eye.
The kit as it comes is designed to fly on a range of F's but with the quality of the parts supplied, there should be no reason why it won't perform just as well on G's (I'm looking forward to seeing it go up on a G64!!)
As for finishing the Nautilus III, I thought what a rocket would look like if Capt. Nemo had a rocket and looking at the Nautilus submarine, it seemed like it would be metal that was a bit old and rusted. I took some time, read through a bunch of tutorials and had a go at airbrushing the metal & rust effect. I'm happy with the end result :)
I had a lot of fun building this kit. View the full build thread on The Rocketry Forum and the photos on Flickr.

You are lucky if you find this park on the first approach. There are no signs. You will see a blue camping arrow on the 437 exit stop sign. Nothing after that until you realize you better call the park. The park will tell you, you are going to Billings. It turns out the park is at the Sinclair gas station by the stop sign. You will pull into a tiny, weary, old park made for 26' trailers. The sites are gravel and level. The electric is good for 30 amps. We are fortunate enough to have a 34', three slide motor home. We had a snug fit. We unhooked our tow and parked it in front as not to impede traffic. There are permanent people living in 26' trailers. It is a comfortable park. Grass but no shade. - mycelia

This park is closed for the season and camping is prohibited by signs. The web site for the park shows it as open Memorial Day through Labor Day. The park is across the road from a large refinery and BNSF railroad. This review w ill say we camped in a motorhome, but we didn't stay at all. - Jay Rutherford
Aug 2010 - $12.00
There was 3 different pricings $12 for dry camping, $15 for electric only sites (said to be 3 but the one we found looked not safe for electric hookup) and $20 for electric/water site which was the majority of the sites. There was a shower house. We chose to dry camp. Said to be 7 day max stay, but some looked to have been there longer with their big fridges outside, workers with their campers and tents all laid out, there was no one attending the window once you finally find the office, shower house was not kept very clean, some of the ones staying there looked a little on the iffy side. We did not feel comfortable allowing the kids (15 12 10) to venture even to the shower house alone. We stayed here 2 nights 1 day out of necessity of a stop over but wouldn't stay there again. Did not feel safe walking to the shower house due to some of the people staying there. Guys and Girls going to the same side together and my son walked into the men room while a couple was doing their thing in the shower, not impressed esp. when they told him it was OK he could watch, fortunately my son (10) came back out. Park was quiet enough but wasn't willing to leave the rig unattended. - moosemama3
Jul 2009 - $15.00
We spent 5 nights here holed up over the 4th of July holiday. 30amp service and water for $15 a night. Lots of mosquitoes. The lots are irregular in size & layout, but they're OK. Some will easily take big rigs, some are pull through. Bathroom wasn't clean. There were 2 or 3 homeless individuals & families living there in tents or small older trailers, they were very nice & friendly, no problem. CG across the Yellowstone River from water treatment plant & refinery but no odors, a little noise. Some train traffic but not bad. - big greg

As a fellow Hoosier, this is great news. I live very close to Indy and downtown has dramatically changed in the last 20 years. The plans to continue to revamp the city seem great.

As a fellow Hoosier, this is great news. I live very close to Indy and downtown has dramatically changed in the last 20 years. The plans to continue to revamp the city seem great.
It's always funny to hear the media complain about when the SB is in a northern city or if they are in a southern city and the weather is bad.
Does anybody think Cincinnati will ever get a Super Bowl? I think that they won't, just because it's not a dome, and it's too cold that time of year.
If they're going to schedule Super Bowls in cold weather cities, I say why not have it outdoors. Really the big selling point to having the Super Bowl in a fair weather city is that people can come for the whole week for the weather. Putting it in Indy makes it nice for the game, but you still have to deal with the weather otherwise. So if there, why not Cincinnati? They could have the NFL Experience at the convention center and, once they get the Banks Project built, they'll have a nice entertainment district by the Stadium. Plus, how cool would it be if they had a snow storm during the Super Bowl. The halftime show would be something else.
I think the concept behind having it in a warm weather city is so the game won't be affected by the weather. People are paying big money for Super Bowl tickets and they aren't going to be pleased sitting in freezing weather for 5 hours. Plus having the Banks is not exactly a sure thing.
If the weather's nice, I may drive up and take in some of the festivities, even though I won't have tickets to the game. It has never been this close to Kentucky before.
AFC Championship game in Cincinnati one week and the Super Bowl in Indy two weeks later. It will be a memorable month.
Indy is, by far, a much better looking city than Detroit and much fan-friendly. They announced today that they're going to renovate an IPS (Indianapolis Public School) by throwing 9 million into that project alone. I know they have plenty of other plans for downtown including a plan to create a "Super Bowl Village."
Indy will be very, very ready for the Super Bowl. They should've gotten in last year until Jerry Jones came in at the last second and threw money into the proposal. Everyone thought Indy's was the most impressive bid last year and this year's was even better.

"This is a perfect example of a guitar solo that you can sing along with. I think any good guitar solo should do that. Also this song is incredible. People think of Prince as this prolific genius wearing pink lace and thongs, etc.. which is true (and awesome) but he is also an incredible guitarist. I think he could put most of Rolling Stone's top 100 guitar players to shame in his sleep."

Originally written on Reds Minor Leagues | Last updated 12/28/12
Seth Mejias-Brean was not in the Reds system when the year began, but joined the organization after being drafted in 2012. The Reds sent him to Billings where he helped lead the Mustangs offense. The Reds didn't sign Mejias-Brean immediately, but he was ready to go by the time July rolled around. And was he ever ready to go. In 22 games on the month he went out and hit .388/.454/.671 with 7 doubles, a triple and 5 home runs to go along with 11 walks and 8 strikeouts. He also stole three bases on the month without being caught. In August he took a step back some as he posted a .282/.363/.451 line with 4 doubles, a triple and 2 home runs. His plate discipline was solid, though a step back from his July totals with just 8 walks and 17 strikeouts. Like July, he stole 3 bases without being caught. There was only a weeks worth of games in September, but they weren't pretty for the third baseman as he hit just .130/.231/.304 with a double and a home run. He walked twice and struck out four...
