Hi Has any one started or is starting teh VET HND in electrical engineering course, i've just got my first study package for Business management methods and the books the suggest are quite old and hard to come by. Can anyone let me know reading material to help me with this module.
All help much appreciated

Hello Phil,
I finished both my HNC and D on the Blackburn VETS course about 12 months ago - I remember the Business Management module, it was *dire*. You're right that the material is old and dusty, I don't think the tutor has bothered to do anything with it for years, and it's as dull as ditch water.
You won't need any text books; if you can read, add and subtract, and have even an ounce of common sense you won't find it at all difficult (lengthy and boring yes, difficult no).
I remember it took me a lot of time to grind through all the required bits and pieces, with the various activities in the first half then the essay section at the end my submission was almost 10,000 words in total. I wouldn't have minded except I didn't learn a damn thing, just jumped through a lot of hoops for no worthwhile gain (you can tell I'm still bitter, can't you! ).
If you're just starting your course then I would save your enthusiasm and proper research for the more demanding, interesting and worthwhile modules that you've got coming up. They do get a lot better, honestly! There are some great lecturers and excellent modules on your programme, you've just started off with a lame duck.
The materials in the study pack should get you through the workbook activities (they've sent you the DVD, have they?), and then you're going to want to do a little research for the essay bit at the end, but that's just general engineering ethics, health and safety legislation, and rudimentary management theory (motivation etc).
Your local library will have texts that will help you with that sort of thing and there's plenty of good quality stuff available online. For a start, the Royal Academy have a statement of ethical principles and many case studies here:
Royal Academy of Engineering
The Health and Safety Exec. have lots of guides online that will provide info on relevant legislation, and they also have a very useful database of past convictions, detailing cases of industrial failings which have resulted in injury and prosecutions. Citing one or two of those will show research on your part. See here for a start:
Health and Safety Executive
Also, join the the IMechE (student membership is free). I know you've said you're Electrical, but the IMechE library is a fantastic engineering resource, providing instant online access to all kinds of professional journals, papers and conference proceedings, all of the highest quality and difficult (i.e. EXPENSIVE!) to access elsewhere. They also do free postal loans, so you can select actual books from their library and they will box them up and post them out to you. You'll be able to get titles only stocked in the very best academic libraries that way, and it will only cost you the price of postage to send them back. I'm a big fan, and the facility has been a great help though my HNC/D and B.Eng.
Just shout up if you have any specific questions about your Business Manglement module, or others in fact, I've done many of the same courses you'll be doing and will gladly help where I can.

Many thanks for the info, i didnt recieve a DVD just the workbook but will ask if it should of been sent it as some sections i've completed no problem(basic adding and sbtracting) its the wordy bits "like types of resources" i could probably role off a load but just want to check that i'm heading down the right road as i have been known to head in various wrong directions lol.
05 September 2012 10:46 AM
Hmm, it's possible my memory is playing tricks on me, and there is no cd/dvd for the business management module. There are accompanying disks for several of the courses, like instrumentation and control principles for example, but maybe it was just the printed materials for business.
When are you attending for your first intensive week long courses? I'm guessing they have you booked in for Analytical Methods or the bridging maths module first? They are both well delivered and very worthwhile, you'll learn plenty. It will be a tough week mind you, plenty of work and stress, but you'll know a hell of a lot more come Saturday!
Good luck, and shout up if you need help or info.
05 September 2012 12:47 PM
I start analytical methods in november the design and project in december, looking forward to the week block courses as i'm quite busy at work and this will give me a chance to concentrate soley on the course while i'm there, hopefully ill of eaten away a big chunk of the Bussiness methods so i wont be to disheartened when i go down to blackburn Do you remember any cheap B&B's?
05 September 2012 03:02 PM
That's one thing I can't help with, B&B's. When I'd just started my course I tried a couple of the places very near to the college on Preston New Road, they were cheap but really pretty grim and I wouldn't recommend them :/
My job means it doesn't matter where in the UK I live so shortly afterwards I moved to Blackburn and didn't need to try any others. There's not much near to the college, but no doubt there's decent stuff if you are willing to drive 10 or 15 minutes away.
Remind me sometime and I'll mark you up a map of the closest/best/free parking spots near college.

Hi Gruff,
When you did the ethics assay did you have ceratin books reading material that you could advise to use? the questions with regards to the essay are around technology, was this information technology or technolgical advances in the work place. Any help would be appreciated as getting hold of the tutor isnt the easiest ive found
18 October 2012 10:35 AM
Hello Phil
When I took the module the essay section was three questions, dealing with engineering ethics, legal issues applied to engineering, and management/motivation. The last one must also have mentioned changing technology, because I've spoken about that in my answer.
I don't remember exactly what the questions were, as I've only got my submission here now, not the course materials.
All the references I used were online. I started with the statement of ethical principles published by the Royal Academy of Engineering at the link I gave above, and also used some snippets from a speech given by John Uff, a professor of engineering law at King's College, to the Lloyds Register.
You'll be able to find that via google and there's also lots more at the IMechE online library (free to join as a student).
I waffled on about how the technology we apply as engineers has the potential for both positive and negative consequences, referencing a 2009 Amnesty International report on environmental and humanitarian damage caused in the Niger Delta by the engineering activities of Royal Dutch Shell, the oil conglomerate. Again, that was available online.
The HSE website (link up-thread ^^) has lots of good info and resources which will be useful if you are going to talk about the type of law which is applicable to the engineering profession here in the UK.
Remember that you don't need to go crazy on this, it's just a single HNC module and you've already had to grind through that dire workbook thing. Just pick a couple of topics from your own work and experience which you can adapt to the questions at hand.
Finding it difficult to reach the tutor doesn't surprise me, if it is still Graham Mather. Others may have a different experience, but I found him to be utterly useless.
Don't worry, there are many other tutors there who are much more professional in their approach, and who will provide better advice and support for your other modules.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Things are about to get a little hairy this November. Men around the country are growing mustaches to raise awareness of men's health issues in a fund-raising event called "Movember."
Andy Skiver has been cutting hair formore than20 years. As the owner King's Room Barbershop, he knows what men are willing to talk about and what they're not, like going to the doctor.
"Men have a tendency to put things off and wait until the last minute until it's dire," said Skiver.
Dr. Frank Belisito is a physician with Metro Health. He has a few things on his checklist when it comes to men's health. "I think the first thing we want them to do is come in," says Belisito.
Second, know your family history. "[For example,] are they at risk for diabetes, are they at risk for high blood pressure or heart disease?"says Belisito.
And third, come clean with any symptoms you might be experiencing. "If men come in and say they're having problems urinating, problems with bowel movements, blood in the stool, chest pain, shortness of breath, those are the types of things that we screen for during a physical exam," heexplains.
CONTEST:Upload a photo of your Movember mustache
Finally: Grow a mustache! November is Men's Health Awareness Month and has beendubbed Movember by a non-profit group encouraging men to grow mustaches in support of men's health awareness. Skiver is grooming his clients for the challenge.
"I hope to see a lot of great mustaches in here. I'd like to see some handlebar mustaches," he says.
Several of the men here at WZZM will be growing mustaches for Movember and we want you to join in the fun. We've got a contest for the best mustache. To join,click on the Movember contest link onwzzm13.com. The man with thebest mustache wins a year of free haircuts from Kings Room Barbershop.

Integrative Medicine in Scranton Pennsylvania and on the Island of St. Maarten: Meet MBM Student Peter Amato04/28/2012
Peter Amato is passionate about the healing potential of integrative medicine, and takes an active role in the ongoing transformation of health care. His passion is evident at his integrative wellness centers, Inner Harmony. The original center is located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Peter's hometown. The other center is located on the beautiful island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean, Peter's part-time home. In addition to running two integrative healthcare facilities, Peter has recently expanded his work to collaborate with the Integrative Life Centers in Nashville, Tennessee (www.integrativelifecenter.com), and has authored a book, Soul Silence, a spiritually focused way to navigate recovery. Deepak Chopra's gracious endorsement graces the cover.
Integrative Care for Low Back Pain: A Research Report Worth Reading04/24/2012
Does the name David Eisenberg sound familiar? David Eisenberg's landmark 1993 study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1993, put complementary and alternative medicine on the radar screen for most health professionals. Eisenberg of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School and colleagues conducted a national telephone survey of 1539 homes, and surveyed the use of alternative therapies and alternative practitioners. The Eisenberg et al. (1993) study showed that 34 % of respondents used at least one unconventional therapy in 1990, and one third of these persons saw a provider of unconventional therapy. They saw the providers for an average of 19 visits, and paid an average of $27.60 per visit. A majority used unconventional therapy for chronic conditions, and the most frequent disorders involved were back problems (36 percent), anxiety (28 percent), headaches (27 percent), chronic pain (26 percent), and cancer or tumors (24 percent). Another important finding by Eisenberg was that 72 % of those using unconventional therapy did not disclose this information to their medical doctor.
Three New Certificates in Mind-Body Studies04/23/2012
The College of Mind-Body Medicine opened in August 2009, with a master's degree and three PhD specializations (mind-body medicine practice, health care systems, and research). In addition, the College offered a 16 credit Certificate in Mind-Body Medicine, for busy professionals who were not able to dedicate the time for a degree program. This certificate included a nine credit sequence of foundation courses that include training with the Center for Mind-Body medicine. This is the same training that the Center uses in its humanitarian outreach programs in Kosovo, Gaza, Israel, Katrina areas, and Haiti.
Information on this original Certificate in Mind-Body Medicine is available on the College of MBM website at: http://www.saybrook.edu/mbm/academicprograms/programs
At this time in May 2012, the College is introducing three new Certificates in additional mind-body practice areas. They include:
A Certificate in Health and Wellness Coaching
A Certificate in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback
A Certificate in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis
Mind-Body Medicine student creates "super-foods" based nutrition programs improving childrens' health in San Diego: Ruthi Solari04/21/2012
Ruthi Solari is a master's student in the College of Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University, and the creator of SuperFood Drive (www.superfooddrive.org), a 501(c) 3 non-profit located in San Diego, California. Ruthi found the inspiration to create SuperFood Drive while attending the Center for Mind Body Medicine's Food as Medicine (FAM) conference in 2009. The inspiration for super foods, or nutrient dense foods, came from reading Steven Pratt's book, "SuperFoods Rx." Dr. Pratt's book opened her eyes to the health benefits of specific nutrient dense super foods such as beans, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Ruthi's goal is to improve the nutritional status of people that use food banks by providing 'super foods.' Upon returning home from the FAM conference, Ruthi taught herself how to start a non-profit. In June, 2009, SuperFood Drive was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Toward A Science of Consciousness Conference: A Brief Report04/18/2012
I wasn't quite sure what to expect coming to Tucson to participate at the University of Arizona's Toward a Science of Consciousness Conference. The first day of attending the conference was however quite enlightening. The very first message I got from attending my first plenary, titled "War of the Worldviews," was this: "When you open your mouth here to make statements of any sort, you better be able to back up what you are talking about." Not necessarily a bad thing, since we are in the business of science and not science fiction.
Speakers were Deepak Chopra ("Primary Consciousness Versus Materialism"), physicist Leonard Mlodinow ("The Scientific Worldview"), Menas Kafatos ("What do Physics and Metaphysics Have to Say about Consciousness, Future Science, and the Emergence of Holism"), and Susan Blackmore ("War of the Worldviews").
Chopra was of course very passionate about his message of "consciousness" while another speaker, Blackmore wanted to declare from the get go that: "Consciousness is an illusion," while the physicist, Mlodinow took the middle of the road. Four very interesting 25 minute talks, followed by an even more interesting panel discussion, during which the speakers "were at each others' throats," all under the umbrella of scientific discovery and progress. It was great to see that it is okay to be passionate about your "specialty" and despite major philosophical and scientific disagreements, all can remain friends.
Living on Purpose04/16/2012
I wanted to take a few minutes to share with you all my experience here in New York City at Hope Lodge. I have been in New York this week taking care of my cousin Michaelene who is part of a clinical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for stage 4 cancer patients. This experience has been deeply meaningful, at so many levels - spiritually, emotionally, physically and relationally - for me. It has rekindled my passion for the work that we do - and also has reconnected me to the essence of my own calling to serve others.
Last night I facilitated a guided imagery session for residents here at Hope Lodge - all of whom have advanced stages of cancer. I scrambled all day Monday to get approval from the staff here to present last night. They were hesitant because they like to plan things way in advance and were skeptical about anyone actually attending the session with just one day's notice. I told them if one person came it would be fine - but that I wanted them to make 12 copies of the Imagery protocol handout I made. The volunteer coordinator gave me an indulgent smile - but made the copies anyway saying "Sometimes no one comes to these events..." I smiled back and said, "People will come..." I knew a few would come because I had been connecting with individuals in the kitchen and lounge and around the building - chatting and drawing angel cards for them.
Organizations Relevant for MBM Students: The Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis04/12/2012
The Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis is an international organization of mental health and health professionals dedicated to the highest level of scientific inquiry and the conscientious application of hypnosis in the clinical setting.
What it takes to age - consciously and positively04/11/2012
America is getting grayer - but are we aging better?
In a time when we live longer lives, what does it mean to live them well?
Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine faculty member Connie Corley is a leader in the movements of "Conscious" and "Positive" aging - and says she's seen a "dramatic transformation from asking 'what's wrong?' as we grow older to 'what's possible?'." It's a change that could impact us all, for the better.
College of Mind-Body Medicine Faculty Member Pursues Research on Altruism and Service: Lisa Kelly, Ph.D.04/10/2012
What compels a person to leave the comfort of her home and travel to a foreign country, with one goal in mind … to make a difference in the lives of others. Dr. Lisa Kelly has been interested in what motivates people to transcend their own needs for comfort and safety to be of service to others. Lisa's interest in this human potential for service was the subject of her Ph.D. dissertation on altruism, The Lived Experience of Altruism as Described by Moral Exemplars: A Descriptive Phenomenological Study (Mastain, 2007). As an interesting dichotomy, she once studied evil people and found that a person who is capable of committing unthinkable evil lacks empathy for other human beings.
Introducing John Patterson, MD, MSPH, FAAFP04/04/2012
Even though John's 1970 undergraduate degree was in psychology, he never imagined he would later practice mind-body medicine. Even though he almost stayed in college an extra year to study comparative religions, he also never imagined he would later practice holistic mind-body-spirit medicine. John's inspiration to study medicine was Albert Schweitzer, who already had doctorates in music and theology when he was driven by a sense of compassion to become a doctor serving humanity for the rest of his life.

GRAND LARCENY - MASSENA - Village police charged Michele E. Reese, 44, of Massena with third-degree grand larceny and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance at 11:58 p.m. Wednesday. Police said Reese, who was released from prison earlier this week, was staying at the Econo Lodge, Route 37.
She was picked up on an arrest warrant, arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and released to reappear Tuesday in Massena Village Court..
Reese, formerly of Rochester, allegedly provided Michael Gleason with a $5,000 check and asked him to place it in his checking account because she didnt have a bank in Massena.
The check had reportedly been stolen from Weldon Peterson, and his name was allegedly forged on the dcoument. She also reportedly wrote a second check for $6,500 on Petersons account. The $5,000 check was deposited in Gleasons account on March 9, 2013.
Mr. Gleason, in a statement he provided police in May 2013, said he had dated Reese for a short period of time and she had lived with him intermittently. He told police Reese told him she had moved to Massena to care for Peterson, whom she said was her cousin, and to hide from an ex-boyfriend.
Around March 6, Michele gave me a check made out to me in the amount of $5,000, he said in his statement, noting she told him it was the first installment of $20,000 he owed her.
She did not have a bank account anywhere and was fearful that her estranged boyfriend might be able to track her so she asked me if I would deposit the check into my checking account, Mr. Gleason pointed out in his statement.
He said the following weekend Reese suggested they go to Lake Placid for the weekend and said she would pay for the hotel, meals and expenses from the check she had deposited in Mr. Gleasons account.
He said he received notice from Massena Savings and Loan shortly after returning to Massena from Lake Placid that the check written on the Weldon Peterson Trust had been written on an account with insufficient funds.
Mr. Gleason said he had also noticed when reviewing his finances that several cash withdrawals had been made from ATM machines while they were in Lake Placid without his permission. He said he had given Reese his debit card to purchase cigarettes on a couple of occasions when they were in Lake Placid but had not given her his approval to use the card for any other purpose.
He also said when he had gone to Florida for a 16-day vacation last year he had been notified Reese had taken his vehicle and driven to Rochester, where she had been arrested on a warrant and hospitalized for a drug overdose.
Mr. Gleason said Reese had sent him a letter while she was incarcerated apologizing for her actions and telling him she had a drug problem.
Reese had been sentenced to one to three years in state prison in July 2013 for a fourth-degree grand larceny conviction.
According to the New York state Department of Corrections and Community Services website, she was released under parole supervision on Tuesday from the Albion Correctional Facility. She had entered state prison on July 8. The maximum expiration date of her state sentence is March 2016.
Mr. Peterson told police he had met Reese in Rochester and had dated her until she entered into a relationship with Mr. Gleason.

The latest economic data compiled by the Utah Department of Workforce Services indicate Carbon County has experienced hearty employment growth during the last year.
The county posted an employment expansion rate of 4.4 percent in second quarter 2005, adding nearly 380 jobs during the last 12 months.
In addition, gross taxable sales increased 17.5 percent and average quarterly industry wages rose 2.1 percent to register below the rate of inflation, noted DWS regional labor market economist Michael Hanni.
Carbon County's unadjusted unemployment rate was 5.6 percent in October 2005, down from 6.3 percent from the last year.
In the face of the good numbers it is almost unseemly to sound a note of alarm, however, a good portion of the county's new jobs appear to be temporary in nature.
The recent positive employment activity has been focused on construction and transportation activities.
Heavy and civil construction employment increased sharply with the start of work on a new gas pipeline - a temporary project.
Truck transportation was up sharply, adding nearly 75 jobs over the year. Rail support services also saw job increases.
But analysts cannot evaluate employment in Carbon County without considering the coal mining industry, pointed out the DWS labor market economist.
Between June 2004 and June 2005, coal mining had added 44 employment opportunities in the county.
Unfortunately, the employment gains reported in the local coal industry workforce have been offset by losses of jobs in the oil and gas extraction sector.
But high energy prices should make Carbon County's natural resources significantly more desirable in the coming year, noted Hanni.
In addition, the expansion witnessed in the county's coal industry has increased the demand for wholesale mining goods purchases.
Manufacturing represents a second point of economic interest in Carbon County's economy, noted Hanni.
Wood product, coal product, fabricated metal and machinery manufacturing have combined to add more than 100 jobs in local area in the last year.
While employment growth raced forward through much of 2005, it is important to remember that a portion of the increase is likely to be temporary, explained the DWS labor market economist.
However, the recent surge of employment opportunities in the local manufacturing sector bodes well for the county and should be continued to be supported.
Construction permits, a relatively volatile indicator, showed a slight decline in Carbon County during second quarter 2005.
Total new construction valuation for the county declined 12 percent, with the number of dwelling units falling nearly 23 percent.
The one factor that stands out in the data is that almost all of the declines can be attributed to slowdowns in the unincorporated areas of the county, pointed out Hanni.
The Helper, Price and Wellington areas experienced substantial increases in new residential and non-residential construction permit valuations.
In second quarter 2005, trade sales climbed while services dipped in Carbon County, continued the DWS labor economist.
Compared with second quarter 2004, gross taxable sales showed impressive strength in 2005. Even the small declines witnessed in business investment purchases for mining and the sale of business services could not dent the nearly 18 percent year-over increase.
The standout performer was wholesale trade sales. Over the past year sales to wholesalers rose 10.7 percent, adding $6.7 million to gross taxable sales.
Business investment purchases were helped mightily by construction of a pipeline through the county.
Without the increase, losses in mining purchases would have dominated the wholesale trade sales category.
Retail trade sales were also strong, increasing roughly 12 percent in the past year.
Excluding prior period payments and adjustments, second quarter 2005 was excellent for sales in the county, concluded the DWS labor economist.

- How to Read a Study Record
This is a randomized controlled trial in which women with symptomatic mild pelvic organ prolapse undergoing Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy (PFPT) receive vaginal estrogen versus placebo to see if a combined approach to treatment leads to improvement in clinical outcomes. The investigators predict that PFPT in combination with vaginal estrogen will lead to decreased pelvic floor symptoms and improved anatomical support corroborated by biomarker data.

Detailed Description:
The pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is unknown. Few studies have correlated patient symptoms and amount of prolapse with biomarkers. POP has traditionally been managed with a pessary or surgery. Recent studies suggest a reduction in POP symptoms following Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy (PFPT). Vaginally delivered hormones are also commonly used to treat prolapse symptoms, with little evidence supporting a clinical benefit. The investigators hypothesize that the optimal approach to improving prolapse symptoms in the patient with mild prolapse requires re-alignment and strengthening of levator muscles via PFPT, and optimization of tissue integrity via local estrogen therapy. The investigators propose to test this hypothesis in a randomized controlled trial in which women with symptomatic mild prolapse opting for PFPT, receive treatment with PFPT in combination with vaginal estrogen versus placebo. The investigators predict that the combined approach will lead to decreased symptoms and improved anatomical support corroborated by biomarker data.

You might think Chinese social networks would be all a-Twitter (yes, pun intended) with mentions of the Bo and Chen scandals, but the censors continue to make heroic efforts to tamp that talk down.
So what has been trending there? Talk of "American French Fry Brother" — otherwise known as Jason Loose. (He also goes the Chinese name Lu Jiesen.) The recent graduate from Arizona State is currently in Nanjing.
Jason bought a bag of McDonald's french fries for a homeless woman there, and then he poured her some water. A bystander took photos of the act, and the images have been rocketing around Chinese cyberspace, where someone lovingly called this new hero, "American French Fry Brother."
Besides being popular on Chinese microblogging site Weibo, there's also been coverage in newspapers and on TV.
Why the hubbub over a simple act?
Jason says many Chinese correspondents have told him that Chinese society has grown cold and uncaring, and when China saw someone from outside the country doing a nice thing on their home turf, it struck a nerve.
I have another theory. Maybe the Chinese were desperate for a shred of good news.
Empathy does not exist in Chinese culture.
Some Chinese are this way..but others would give you the shirts off their back
Well obviously this guy doesn't know McDonald's is an Evil Big Corporation that should be Regulated, Taxed and Hounded out of Business because they make good french Fries and poor Black people get fat eating them according to Michele Obama and OWS.
It is a funny thing to see how the States brainwashed so many people. For decades, they stayed in their own country, f commenting affairs in other county while pretending they know everything. They killed their own curiosity and try to kill that of others at the same time. So pathetic! If you wanna comment, you need to experience it yourself. Every coin has two sides, not mention there're so many people in China. Chinese people are diligent, and working hard. Why they do so? There're so many people and so little resources allocated to everyone, you have to struggle and compete for everything instead of hoping the govenment solve the problems. But we believe we can be better and stronger, as most of the Chinese are working on their own. They know what the world looks like, and they try their best to build their own country other than make indiscrete remarks on other countries and do nothing helpful for their own people. We're pacing forward! Look at you!
I've learn some excellent stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to create this type of great informative web site.
With thanks! Loads of stuff!.
Thank you. Numerous material.

How to Choose the Best Christmas Tree
Trina and Mike Burke renovated their dilapidated seven-acre homestead 60 miles outside Portland themselves, and chronicled the project on their blog, A Country Farmhouse. For Christmas, Trina decked out her living room's fir tree with craft-store birds and ceramic pinecones. She bought the early-1900s walnut table at a Washington antiques store; the armchairs are by Rowe, the Suzanne Kasler stockings from Ballard Designs.

However, a few communities around the country have been working to help individuals navigate losing their jobs and managing stress by providing free yoga classes to the unemployed, The Associated Press reported.
For instance, the news provider revealed that The Integral Yoga Institute in New York began offering classes for free to unemployed practitioners last year. The exercises are said to improve flexibility, concentration and, through deep breathing, promote relaxation — traits that may help those facing a stressful job search process both feel better and unwind.
Wendy Enelow gave the news provider her view on the program saying "if you physically feel better, your head's going to feel better and you're in a better place to manage your job search."
Both unemployed and employed individuals can try alternative treatments as a way to manage stress levels. Aside from practicing yoga, St. John's Wort has been shown to ease stress and promote health and well-being.

The Ogdensburg Volunteer Rescue Squad has finally relocated to larger accommodations.
The squad completed its move from 101 State St. to the former Hackett Hardware building, 1223 Pickering St., over the weekend.
We moved little by little over the past five days and on Sunday at 2:45 p.m. we went into service, Director of Operations Kenneth J. Gardner said Monday.
The squad is occupying 22,000 square feet over two floors of the 58,000-square-foot former retail building that it owns. With multiple rooms and offices as well as a seven-bay garage for its fleet of emergency vehicles, it is what squad officials have sought for years.
This is exactly the way that we planned it, Mr. Gardner said, his own desk and office floor strewn with loose papers and unpacked bags and boxes. Were very excited to be here.
The first floor off the garage bays includes Mr. Gardners office, a lounge with kitchen, a computer center for records-keeping and calls, a conference room and a large community room for public use, including meetings.
The second floor has seven double-occupancy bedrooms, bathrooms with showers, a laundry room and a training room.
There is, according to Mr. Gardner, plenty of room to expand.
The much smaller building at 101 State St., which the squad rented for 30 years from the Ogdensburg Housing Authority, never did.
We outgrew that building 15 years ago, Mr. Gardner said.
The squad will hold a public open house on May 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The squads non-emergency telephone number remains 393-0837.

Filters Version: 0.2
Before we start, lets clear up the field a bit.
You DO NOT need any of the two filters (telecide and decimate) if you are working with "pure interlaced data" as opposed to "artificially interlaced data". In plain terms: You don't need these two filters AND YOU SHOULD NOT USE THEM if your source data are coming from:
For the above, you can use one of the other filters, like "-J dilyuvmmx", "-I 1" or "-I 3" (or even smartdeinter). Just remember to read the instructions.
Now that we've thrown away 90% of the readers, its time to describe what is this artificial interlacing we (might) meet in an NTSC DVD and why it requires special care.
As one might guess, American engineers had to interpolate. They also had to cope with the fact that TV isn't actually showing 29.97 frames per sec, but 2 x 29.97 fields per second. What are fields, you ask? Well, check this ASCII art:
scanline 0 --------------------------------- Field 0, 1st line scanline 1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Field 1, 1st line scanline 2 --------------------------------- Field 0, 2nd line scanline 3 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Field 1, 2nd line scanline 4 --------------------------------- Field 0, 3rd line etc...
As you can see, each frame is composed from two fields. Each of the fields has 240 lines, thus we finally get 480 scanlines. So, to display film content, which is 24 frames per second, this is what American engineers came up with:
For example, the two first frames are split as follows:
Frame 1 Frame 2 ======= ======= Top Field of Frame 1 (T1) Top Field of Frame 2 (T2) Bottom Field of Frame 1 (B1) Bottom Field of Frame 2 (B2)Now, if we had a 24fps Television set, we could see any film easily, if we sent it the following sequence:
T1 B1 T2 B2 T3 B3 T4 B4 T5 B5 T6 B6 ... ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Frame1 Frame2 Frame3 Frame4 Frame5 Frame6Unfortunately, we have a stupid 29.97 standard, so this is what we send:
T1 B1 T2 B2 T2 B3 T3 B4 T4 B4 ... ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== N N A A NAs you can see, we have used fields from 4 film frames, but we have sent them in a way that produces 5 NTSC 'frames': 3 Normal (N) ones, and two Artificial (A) ones. The displaying is also slowed down, from 30 'frames' per sec to 29.97 fps.
You see it? These Artificial frames are horribly interlaced! And this interlacing has nothing to do with the normal interlacing found in PAL and NTSC cameras... This is a different monster.
Note that if you use one of transcode's deinterlacing filters with such a sequence, you'll probably get something like this:
T1 B1 T2 B2 T3 B3 T4 B4 T4 B4 ... ===== ===== ===== ===== =====... that is, two completely identical frames (IF the deinterlacing algorithm is good enough). And yes, when you encode your sequence to MPEG4 or whatever, you waste bandwidth for these extra frames. Not to mention, that a skilled eye will notice that the film is not natural - any motion will appear jerky, because of the duplicate frames.
Did I mention that this pattern shifts and jumps throughout the video? In other words, this scheme is not constant; Video editing is performed on fields, and if the DVD authoring studio deletes a series of fields in the middle of the film, the eventual field order is impossible to predict...
The algorithms used in these filters are the basic ones used in the 'Decomb' package (made by Donald A. Graft and available - unfortunately - only under Windows). Thanks for opening up the source, Donald!
First pass:
transcode -M 0 -f 23.976 -i dolby-city.vob -x vob -y xvid,null -w 740 -J ivtc,decimate -V -o /dev/null -R 1 -B 6,13,16
Second pass:
transcode -M 0 -f 23.976 -b 64 -i dolby-city.vob -x vob -y xvid,ogg -w 740 -J ivtc,decimate -V -o test.avi -R 2 -m test.ogg -B 6,13,16
Adding video and audio together in an Ogg stream (you'll need ogmtools):
ogmmerge -o dolby-city.ogm test.avi test.ogg
Some explaining:
-w 740 Target video bitrate is 740000 bits per second
-B 6,13,16 Resize from NTSC 720x480 to 512x384 (4:3 aspect)
-M 0 -f 23.976 it means that the demux must not drop frames on its own; the filters will do that, producing a 23.976 frames per sec result.
-J ivtc,decimate Always use them in this order, and with no other filter before them - especially no deinterlacing and no resizing one!
Additionally, when the telecine pattern shifts (as a result of, maybe, field editing by the DVD authors) a couple of interlaced frames will pass through. These should be deinterlaced on their own. You shouldn't use global deinterlacing after ivtc - it would blur out the otherwise perfect progressive frames that get reconstructed from 'ivtc'. However, transcode's '32detect' filter comes to the rescue: It first checks whether the frame is interlaced, and only then it forces a frame deinterlacing. So, this is what I recommend for your sessions:
transcode -M 0 -f 23.976 -J ivtc,32detect=force_mode=3,decimate ...
To put it simply, 'ivtc' will try to fix the paranoia of telecine. When the pattern shifts (or the algorithm fails) a couple of interlaced frames will slip-by, which are detected and deinterlaced by '32detect'. Finally, the 29.97 frames produced for every second of input are fed into 'decimate', which removes the extra frame.
Hope all this hasn't caused you a headache. If your NTSC DVD contains a film, chances are these filters will help (actually, they are the only 'correct' solution available under Linux).
Since they work perfectly for my NTSC DVDs, I probably won't mess them up anymore. Feel free to change them as you will, as they are available under the GPL.

Modification for Version 0.4.1 by Frederic Briere <fbriere at fbriere.net> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2004 11:35:37 -0500 Subject: Tentative patch for ivtc
Hiya! Here's something I whipped out in trying to improve ivtc a bit. My motivation was that de-interlaced frames never look as good as "real" ones, and if you're working with material that was telecined the "other" way (repeating the top frame instead of the bottom frame, or vice versa, I forget), then you end up with only two good frames out of four, instead of three.
The easiest solution is to patch filter_decimate.c to reject the second frame instead of the first, and that's what I've been doing for a few months. However, it seemed that the smartest way would be to adjust filter_ivtc.c itself, which I finally got around to doing.
The field parameter specifies whether you want to work on the top field (by default) or the bottom field. Basically, when you enable verboseness, if you see lots of "using 0" and "using 1", then you stand to benefit from working on the opposite field instead. (If ivtc is using 1s and 2s, you've got it right.)
I also added a bit of "magic", to give ivtc a little nudge towards the current field instead of the previous/next one. When looking at the verbose output, you'll see that ivtc often favors the "wrong" field, ie. if you work on the top field, and have the following frames:
Frame: A B C D E Top field: 1 2 3 3 4 Bottom field: 1 1 2 3 4
Then there is a good chance that frame D will end up with C's top field, for reasons that are beyond me.
The values I chose are completely arbitrary, but they seemed to yield good results for me. Maybe they should be configurable, or maybe there's a much better way to do this. In any case, I made it an option, so it's not in the way if you'd rather not use it.

|Researchers have identified a link between the presence of a virus known as XMRV and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome -- but what does the presence of such a link mean? Writing in the journal Science last week, researchers described their analysis of blood cells taken from people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. "We identified DNA from a human gammaretrovirus, xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV), in 68 of 101 patients (67%) compared to 8 of 218 (3.7%) healthy controls," they wrote. The same virus has also been linked to certain types of prostate cancer. But what can the presence of the virus tell health researchers about Chronic Fatigue and other difficult-to-study conditions? We'll find out more.

Google has always done a very good job of getting their users to upgrade to new versions when upgrades are available. That, plus the fact that newer devices are running on updated versions of the Android software means that more than 60% of their users are running on Android 2.2 or higher such as unlocked Samsung Nexus S Google Black. In fact. A vast majority of their users are either running 2.3, or 2.3 which seems to be the most popular option for new smart devices that have come out in recent months.
Most devices are currently being upgraded to either 2.2 or 2.3, and with version 3.0, Gingerbread right around the corner you can exact many new devices to be released for that version of the operating system as well. Android 1.6 still has 4.8% of the user base, while Android 1.5 still has 3% of the total user base.
Google also announced in a recent press release that they are activating more than 300,000 new phones per day. A number of these devices will be making their way to the Canadian market here soon, and users can expect these devices to run on Android 2.2 or higher when the release time comes.
This just goes to show how adept Google has become and getting their users to upgrade to new versions when the upgrade is available for all of the new features offered. Comparatively,Apple updates have done well as well such as in unlocked iphone 4, but have not seen the same level of success that Google has seen. There are going to be many new devices coming out in the future that are highly anticipated, running on Google Android 2.2 or higher, so expect these numbers to continue to climb here in the future as well.

The chairs of the Legislature's Energy and Utilities Committee have joined a growing chorus of those asking the Maine Public Utilities Commission to make details of a proposed University of Maine demonstration offshore wind project public. The chairs say because taxpayer money is involved in the project, transparency is essential to regulators' decision-making. Susan Sharon reports.
The University of Maine and several business partners are in competition for the offshore wind demonstration project with Norwegian energy giant Statoil. Earlier this year the Maine PUC approved terms for Statoil to undertake the project. But then lawmakers agreed to re-open the bidding process to the University of Maine.
Because Statoil and the UMaine venture, known as Maine Aqua Ventus, are also competing for federal energy grants, and because several other deepwater wind proposals are vying for the funding, UMaine has chosen to keep its plan private. Statoil chose to release many of the details of its plan. And now members of the Energy and Utilities Committee are calling on the PUC to intervene.
"We think this is a unique situation of public interest and transparency," says Democratic Rep. Barry Hobbins. In a meeting with PUC Chair Tom Welch, Hobbins said the nature of the project, and the public's interest in it, makes this a unqiue situation for regulators.
"It is, in a way, different because of the fact that this involves a public-private partnership involving taxpayer money," Hobbins says.
Hobbins and his committee co-chair, Democratic Sen. John Cleveland, said they have written a letter to the PUC, formally asking for project details to be shared. At issue is how much consumers can expect to pay for energy generated from the project.
Hobbins says he understands that satisfying the public's interest, and protecting confidential, proprietary information, is a "delicate balance." Environmental groups have also asked for the details, and so has an attorney for Statoil.
Chairman Welch says says the Commission generally has a very strong preference for making public as much as it can without compromising sensitive commercial information.
"There's some things where I can envision, yeah, it makes sense to keep it confidential," he says. "But our preference always is to be as transparent as possible, and to have people make as much public as possible."
Welch says this is not the first time the PUC has had to evaluate claims of confidentiality. He says commissioners will consider seriously the request to require some, or all, of the information to be made public. Final review is expected by the end of December.
