The company's R&D operation was hit extremely hard at the same time as much of the group's production capacity was wiped out.

The origins of Jotun can be traced back to a paint distributor's shop, opened by Odd Gleditsch in 1920. It was a good time for the whaling industry, and Gleditsch soon worked his way into the business of supplier to the whaling fleets in Sandefjord, Tønsberg, and Larvik.
As sales to the whaling fleet increased, Gleditsch saw the potential in manufacturing the paint as a solo trader. At Gimle, outside Sandefjord, there was an oil mill (Gimle Oljemølle A/S) which was closed due to bankruptcy – an oil mill which produced antifoulings and marine paints sold through the Gleditsch paint shop.
On 12 March 1926, Gleditsch invited shareholders to subscribe to the new company. With a share capital of NOK 60,000, Jotun Kemiske Fabrik A/S was founded, and bought the plant of Gimle Oljemølle A/S, with Odd Gleditsch as managing director. The production plant was modernised and product quality improved, all of which lead to increased sales.

Expansion: Alf Bjercke A/S[edit]
Head office in Oslo, a factory for unsaturated polyester outside Oslo, and factories in Sweden and Ethiopia. Alf Bjercke A/S was the oldest company participating in the merger. Their production went back to the 1880s - and the company's main production was paint for domestic and industrial use as well as unsaturated polyester.
Fleischers Kjemiske Fabrikker A/S[edit]
Located in Bergen, and was established in 1923. In addition to the Bergen factory, Fleischer had a production plant for alkyds as well as one for clear varnishes at Manger outside Bergen. Fleischers Kjemiske Fabrikker A/S was particularly known for their paints for exterior timber as well as paint systems for the fishing fleet.
A/S De-No-Fa Lilleborg Fabrikker[edit]
The activities in the business areas paint, varnish and synthetic resins were separated from their other business areas and merged with three other companies. De-No-Fa Lilleborg had traditions in the paint business as far back as 1830, when the company started production of linseed oil. The company had a production plant for paint and synthetic resins in Fredrikstad, where they manufactured house paints, marine coatings and synthetic resins as well as a large unit producing unsaturated polyester.
A/S Jotun Odd Gleditsch[edit]
This was the youngest company of the four - but the largest at the time of the merger. The basis for Jotun's rapid growth was mainly the sales of marine coatings to the Norwegian merchant fleet, and at the time of the merge 50% of Jotun's production was marine coatings, which were sold all over the world. A/S Jotun Odd Gleditsch had their production plant and head office in Sandefjord, and subsidiaries and associated companies for production in Libya, Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom.
The Jotun Group has four divisions, with its head office in Sandefjord,[3] Norway.
In addition, Jotun has agents, branch offices and distributors in more than 80 countries.
Jotun Dekorativ is responsible for decorative paints, stains and varnish deliveries to the trade and do it yourself, (DIY) markets in Scandinavia. This division comprises the decorative operations of Jotun A/S, Jotun Danmark A/S, Jotun Sverige AB and Scanox AS.
Jotun Paints has responsibility for decorative paints for all markets outside Scandinavia. The responsibility includes marine and protective coatings for markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Jotun Coatings has global responsibility for marine and protective coatings. The responsibility includes decorative paints in local markets in Europe and selected markets in Asia. Jotun is No. 2 in the world in marine coatings and No. 4 in protective coatings.
Jotun Powder Coatings has global responsibility for powder coatings. The product portfolio caters to the architectural, functional and industrial market segments to protect metal surfaces from corrosion and add style to their aesthetic appearance. Jotun is the world's fourth largest supplier of powder coatings for the industrial surface treatment.
Ownership outside Norway[edit]
1976: Jotun opens a paint factory in Singapore. Jotun had already been represented for some years through a sales company in the country, which had gradually built up an extensive ship repair business.
1980s: The 1980s were an exciting time for the company, characterised not only by expansion and innovation, but also by situations that called for tough decisions. Jotun had picked itself up again after the fire and went flat out to make a name for itself in the international market. 1983 alone brought the opening of three new paint factories: Jotun Saudia Co Ltd, Jotun (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, El-Mohandes Jotun SAE in Egypt. Baltimore Copper Paint Co Ltd was closed in 1984. Corro-Coat Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) was set up. Jotun Paints LLC in Oman was formed.
1985: Jotun Powder Coatings Ltd is set up in the UK. Jotun Toz Boya (powder coatings) in Turkey was also taken over. A new marine coatings factory in Flixborough in the UK came online.
1988: A sales subsidiary of marine coatings, Chokwang Jotun, was established in South Korea. (Chokwang is one of the largest paint producer in South Korea and it entered into a technical partnership with Jotun in 1982)
1993: Corro-Coat Saudi Arabia was set up. Jotun Brignola, a marine coatings factory in Italy, was established. Jotun Ocean Paint Co Ltd in China was formed through the acquisition of a 51% stake in a factory run by the Chinese state shipping company Cosco. Regional laboratories were set up in Dubai (for the Middle East) and Kuala Lumpur (for South-East Asia).
1995: Corro-Coat (CZ) in the Czech Republic opened. Jotun acquired a 25% stake in the Finnish marine coatings factory Nor-Maali OY. The paint factory Jotun Abu Dhabi (LLC) was established.
1990: In Australia it purchased paint manufacturer Denso Dimet.
1999: Jotun acquired Valspar's marine operation in the United States and Canada.
Great Britain[edit]
1970: Jotun acquires UK company Henry Clark & Sons Ltd. This was an extremely important part of the company's strategy to become an international player in the marine coatings market. British shipping companies were extremely traditional, and it had proved difficult to break into the UK market.
1996: P T Jotun Indonesia opened and was the first company to manufacture both liquid and powder coatings.
In 1962 the company[citation needed] established a paint factory in Libya. This was Jotun's first overseas plant. Libya was chosen at the suggestion of the Norwegian Export Council because oil had been found there in 1959.
Odd Gleditsch junior was in the Jotun management, and on his initiative Libyan Norwegian Industrial Company - Linoco - was established.
Jotun's shareholding in Linoco was gradually reduced over time and eventually ceased in the mid-1980s.
2011: Jotun spent RM160 million on the production facility for its ultra-modern plant in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.The plant, the largest in Asia-Pacific, will produce solvent-based advanced protective coatings, marine paints as well as high-performance anti-fouling paints and tinters for markets in South-East Asia.

1975: Jotun UAE in Dubai is founded.
1977: Vera UAE in Dubai, a factory for the production of glass fibre-reinforced polyester pipelines, opens.
1990: Corro-Coat UAE was founded in Dubai
2001: Jotun Powder Coatings Pakistan is founded.

Suspected corruption[edit]
In 2012 a maintenance manager of the company was indicted together with several subcontractors, in relation to suspicion of corruption within Norway.[4]
Logo history[edit]
Jotun was named after the Jotuns, a kind of giant featured in Norse mythology, and the Jotunheimen mountain range. The original logo was a hammer that Jotuns had stolen from Thor, the god of thunder. During the 1930s, this was replaced by a giant carrying Thor's hammer over his shoulder, as the hammer was now taken to be a political symbol of communism.
Later, it was decided that the giant looked too much like a troll and was for some time replaced by a reindeer in flight with the Jotunheimen mountains in the background. This logo was in turn replaced by a penguin, which suggested Gleditsch's history of whaling in the Antarctic.
The logo was updated in the 1970s to the current version by drawing a globe around the penguin to emphasize Jotun's global holdings.
Jotun and famous landmarks[edit]
Jotun has been / is being used on several famous landmarks around the world.
These includes:
- The Eiffel Tower in Paris [5][6]
- The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur
- Burj Khalifa in Dubai

This limited edition book features the psychedelic concert posters from the Seattle area that were produced in the 1960's. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 15, 2014.
This limited edition book features the psychedelic concert posters from the Seattle area that were produced in the 1960's.
About this project
Split Fountain Hieroglyphics will be a hardbound book, signed and numbered with a limited edition of 1,000 to 2,000. This volume will be (approximately) 9"x12" and at least 150 pages. Illustrated in full color, this volume will follow the rise and demise of the psychedelic concert poster in the Seattle area from 1966-1969.
Since these posters were made as disposable advertising, very few have survived. I have been photographing these pieces in various private and museum collections for over 20 years with an eventual book in mind. The majority of this body of work has not been documented until now. In addition to the individual poster artists, approximately 200 different performers and groups as well as the local venues and light shows will be indexed to the illustrations.
Part of the project appeal for me is to have this book produced here, in Seattle. The printer and I have done numerous projects together over the past 15 years or so that have included many posters along with catalogues and CD covers. My funding goal is entirely based on printing of the book and rewards, bindery, shipping and related expenses. Additional reward items are from my personal collection. At this time, all of the design work, photography, writing and research have been a labor of love.
Here are the two posters (and matching postcards) that are a few of the rewards:
Risks and challenges
For me, the biggest challenge is to turn out a quality product. I've collaborated with Glen Beebe on a variety of projects and have complete confidence in his ability to design a book that focuses on the subject at hand. I've had even more experience with my printer and feel that it's so important to publish this locally. I've also been selling posters through mail order for the past 20 years, so I've got the shipping thing down. Any delays in production are unforeseen at this time.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
The questions that keep popping up are: When is the book going to be released and what happens if I do not reach the goal of $58,000?
These are closely related inquiries. If this project is funded, I'm still on track for a December, 2014 release. If it is not funded, I don't have a back-up plan at this time to publish the book.

Stewart Mandel has a post up about his five predictions for 2009 in college football. One says that Fat Charlie will still be at Notre Dame in 2010.
But prediction #3 is about Michigan. Mandel predicts Tate Forcier (yes, mentioned by name), continuity, and experience will lead Michigan to at least a 5-game improvement in the standings next year.
For all of you counting at home, that would be at least 8 wins. Or, the number of wins Lloyd had in his last regular season as Michigan coach.
Here are eight wins for you:
Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Notre Dame, unnamed FCS opponent, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue.
The last four are Penn State, Little Brother, Wisconsin and Ohio State. Maybe one or two more wins in there. GO BLUE.

Media Freedom Under Fire?
New York, NY —Gerson Borrero was fired days after his station managers and a representative of the parent company, the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation, held a meeting with the elected officials. Borrero says the congressmembers threatened to prevent the station from renewing its broadcasting license if he didn't tone down his drive-time show on W-A-D-O a-m, or "Wahdo". As WNYC's Marianne McCune reports, Gerson Borrero chose not to comply.
Berrero: The way media works in my community is that they're very respectful, they get an interview on radio or tv … oh thank you!!!! Mmmmmm … it's disgusting!
N: If Gerson Borrero doesn't get what he considers an honest answer from a politician, he calls him a Culipandero, one who sways from side to side. If he believes Congressman Jose Serrano of the Bronx isn't taking a clear stance on the status of Puerto Rico, Borrero accuses him of lacking political testicles. New York Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez has no political ovaries.
Berrero: I think that's an appropriate choice of words.
N: But some listeners don't.
Juan: He's mean …
N: Jose Martinez says Borrero speaks mostly the truth, but so unpleasantly.
Juan: … expresses himself.
Menendez: Well, I don't think it's the job of journalists to … talk about people's body parts.
N: That's congressman Robert Menendez of New Jersey, who along with Jose Serrano and Nydia Velasquez met with station brass. He's one more among dozens of targets Borrero has aimed at, both from his perch as editor-in-chief of the popular Spanish-language newspaper El Diario La Prensa, and from behind his Wahdo microphone.
Menendez: WADO used to be called la campiona, which means the champion … was the champion of the hispanic community. It promoted its interests, it promoted its unity, it promoted its issues as a community. And we believe that it's no longer la campiona, that it's lost its way.
N: Congressman Menendez says Borrero is divisive, that he looks to pit one group of Hispanics against another.
Menendez: When you have open mics and you pick on the Cuban community and say that they're right wing radicals and you have those that have that view piling on, and then the cuban community feels they have to respond … not about issues it's about categorization.
N: Borrero once slammed the first ever Puerto Rican congressman as an EX-Puerto Rican. But that congressman, now New York mayoral candidate Herman Badillo doesn't flinch. He says the Hispanic community can handle internal debate.
Badillo: I have every confidence the Hispanic community can discern what is good for the community … that is the nature of the reporting process, that's why we have the kind of radio programs we do, so that people can decide what they believe is good for the community.
N: Berrero believes the thousands of new listeners he's attracted to WADO are deciding he's right -- and that's why the congressmembers want him off the air.
Berrero: So instead of saying I'll never be on his program, I will never listen to him, they're saying get him off the air or I'm going to mess with your licensing. To me that is corrupt! That is dictatorial, tyrranical, not a democracy then if we allow them to do this?
N: Actually that DOES happen in a democracy, says Jane Kirtley, professor of media ethics and law at University of Minnesota. Whether or not the details of this particular story are Borrero describes.
Kirtley: I think the only thing that's really surprising about this is the fact that this doesn't happen more often.
N: Broadcast media are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, and although the FCC is supposed to be impervious to political pressure, she says congress can and does get involved. Elected officials lobby commission members, they file letters of complaint or support. And they also act preemptively by stating their positions to heads of media outlets.
Kirtley: I think it would be appropriate for congressmembers to resist, but I think human nature is such that if you have power and … it takes a pretty big strong tall person to resist the impulse to do that.
N: She, like Gerson Berrero, believes it's up to broadcasters to stand up for themselves.
Berrero: I was so incensed that they would …… sit there and be subjected to verbal insults and threats which I think constitute a corrupt act on the part of these officials who are looking out for their self interest.
N: But what if that's not EXACTLY the way it happened? Congressman Menendez says WADO called the meeting to ask for his and his colleagues stamp of approval on a new programming idea.
Menendez: If you come to me and you ask me to support programming at your initiative, and I tell you no, and you ask me why I won't support it, and I tell you why I won't support it, then I think that's you know, certainly proper. And that's the nature of what happened here.
Kirtley: I don't have a problem with them saying, we don't like what you're doing.
N: As long as it's not couched in a retaliatory threat, says Professor Jane Kirtley.
Kirtley: You know, we don't like what you're doing and by the way we're members of congress and by the way we may have some input into your license renewal so it would be wise of you to stay on our good side, I mean that I suppose is a more subtle form of censorship.
McCune: Did you say we may not support the renewal of your license in 2006?Menendez: I don't recall specifically saying that, I do recall saying we are free as is the constituency we represent to consider raising our concerns at any given point in time, both with the station, and in the future should they go ahead and you know, have a licensing process.
N: WADO representatives passed on some version of that message to Gerson Berrero. And when Borrero made it clear he planned to tell his listeners all about it, he says, they fired him. None of the three WADO representatives present at the meeting have returned repeated phone calls. They have only released a statement saying, the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation does not comment on situations, relations, internal matters or negotiations with employees and/or former employees.

(By Rich Bieglmeier) Like it or not, fortunes are going to be made from the Affordable Health Care Act (AHCA) a.k.a Obamacare. It's a classic case of money in motion, billions of dollars changing hands, and for some, it will be like winning the lottery. Investors who lock onto the right stocks can get a piece of the action, too.
iStock stumbled upon Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (HTA) in our weekly review of insider buys. Healthcare Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that primarily focuses on medical office buildings, healthcare-related facilities, and quality commercial office properties.
Last week, four insiders bought a combined 60,000 HTA shares for a total investment of $601,000. We especially like it when the upper brass, those running the day-to-day operations open their checkbooks. CEO Scott Peters picked up 10,000 shares while CFO Kellie Pruitt added 5,000.
[Related -The S&P 500's Worrisome Downturn In Drawdown]
Recently, Peters sat down with Jim Cramer and told the TV "stock sage," "with 30 to 40 million more insured coming up, you need a most affordable location to off those services. those are mlbs (medical buildings on location), they're on campus, and Jim, I think over the next 10, 20 years there will be core critical real estate. most of them are in crowded fields."
Cramer finished Peter's thought, mentioning that it's a $250 billion industry. To which the CEO replied, "It's a great opportunity for us to be selective, [be] disciplined, buy great assets, long-term value with great yields for our investors." As it stands now, the REIT offers a dividend yield of 5.90%.
[Related -Deflation Warning: The Next Wave]
Many expect solid performance from the group in 2013. The Street.com believes, "Medical Offices Should Become Most Favored Asset Sector in 2013." According to Forbes contributor, Brad Thomas, health care REITs raked in the 2nd largest haul of money from investors in 2012 with $10.57 billion.
Thomas and Cramer both share the belief that HTA could hold up well if the economy suffers due to cannonballing off of the fiscal cliff. Health care REITs are considered defensive because a bad economy doesn't stop people from needing medical attention. In all likelihood, many will need more if the economy sours.
With more than 30 million people expected to be added to the insured during 2013, demand for medical office space will increase; however, Wall Street thinks earnings for HTA will only rise to 66 cents in 2013 from 61 cents in 2012; meanwhile, revenues are tagged for 5.90%.
iStock believes the consensus could prove to be light as the company plans on leasing vacant space in medical office buildings, as well as rent increases. It shouldn't be too hard due to the limited supply of medical office space, increased demand thanks to the AHCA and the reluctance of medical office building tenants to move or relocate because it is good for business to stay close to nationally or regionally affiliated healthcare systems.
Overall, iStock doesn't see Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (HTA) as a stock that will burn up the charts price-wise. Rather, it could be right for investors looking for a steady performer that's likely to increase its dividend payout as Obamacare is implemented.

I just bought this with no regret! It does have a light pink colour but it does not show on your skin. The rep. for this line is Asian and it looks really nice on her. In fact, you cannot tell that you have powder on your skin. It is light and has a sheer coverage. There is no build up on dry parts of my skin. Even though I get very oily on my nose, this powder does not soak up the oil and I think that is good because I found other powders would soak it up and it shows a build up and possibly clog my pores. I know you cannot carry the large box with you but I think if you apply it in the morning and carry blotting sheets, that would be the best way to control your oily skin without causing breakouts. I will repurchase this again.*EDIT*I just wanted to add that I just typed up a review on translucent powder...I can't help but wonder if I am getting confused on which is which. Now, I think the powder line is called Translucent loose powder and it is the only one offered by Cle de Peau. Maybe we have two threads for the same line? UPDATE: Cle de Peau has changed their packaging and the colour of this powder. The price has also gone up and the refill is not offered here in Canada. So, you have to pay $125 each time you want to get a new round box. The colour is all white, but very sheer as the original colour. I don't know if I will repuchase, but I'm hoping the refill will be sold here.

Can't live without this powder. I normally stay away from translucents because they give me a white-ish cast, but this one as I'm sure you've heard is different. Yes it's faintly pink, but I think that's what makes it so imperceptible on my face. I'm pale with yellow undertones, and as long as my foundation is appropriately yellow-toned, I don't have a problem. I do wish they'd make a just barely yellow version because I think it would do even more for my coloring than this already does. I look polished and makeup-free! It's so fine in texture that I can really buff it smooth so that even I can't see it with a mirror in the sunshine. You can also poof it on with the awesome puff it comes with for a more finished look. It's truly fantastic and I'll never be without it. EDITED: Looks great in photos! My face looked smooth with a natural sheen, not at all flat or over-powdered. Huge rave!

Provides a natural, flawless, wonderful translucent finish with long-lasting quality. Amazing superior quality; extremely silky, lightweight, finely-milled, luxurious, and brings out transparency and luminousity to the skin perfectly. (HK$650/30g, refill HK$470/30g)

As everyone said, it's a very very exquisite product. It's so finely milled, and feels truly weightless on skin. It looks pink, but the pink color does not appear on skin. My only gripe is that it does not control shine (compared with my previous powder: guerlain les voilettes: which is also very good and controls shine, but not as fine as CdP). Overall a very luxurious product. Hope that it lasts long! **Update** After trying other powders, I do not find that it is so special enough to justify the price. I would not repurchase.

Thanks for MUAer Verityhl sending a sample for me to try. I've never thought I will try this loose powder because it is so expensive, USD110. The other reason that hold me back is their color "pink". I am so worry it will give me a white/pink cast. I am an Asian with yellow tone NC25,LSF #5. There is no way to use pink powder (at least not for me). When I received the sample, I put CdP in my right palm and Chantecaille loose powder in left palm. I just feel CdP is more silky than Chantecaille. When I pressed the powder on my face and use the powder brush (TM) to dust the excess. There is no pink cast on my face. It is a transparent,silky gorgeous powder. I am glad I find my HG loose powder.

I lovethis powder. It's really natural and feels so smooth and silky on the skin. It doesn't seem to control oil very well though, so I need to carry a pressed powder with me for touch-ups. Will definitely repurchase unless I find something equally good for a lower cost.

There are two very good loose powder in the market. One will be Cosme Decorte's AQ range (a high end range from Kose) loose powder and the other will be Cle De Peau.I love the CDP's Loose powder better because it is slightly cheaper. I have bought it in Neiman Marcus for US$100 and believe me its worth it. It's a big box and can last you a long time. It is a luxurious powder, so fine and silky smooth. I only applied it with CDP's primer and it looks so flawless, glowee and natural.You can also apply it with a good tinted moisturiser. The color of the powder may be pinkish but it is absolutely translucent. The refill of the powder can be purchase seperatetly, so the next time when I run out I can just buy the refill and that will cost less! I will definately be buying it again unless there are a better high end product that beat this one.

After reading the rave reviews on MUA, I purchased this product at my local Cle de Peau counter. The MA assured me that I would be pleased, and said that this was the last one she had to sell. I went home and tried it the next day. Two people at work (that hardly ever speak to me) both commented how nice and refreshed I looked. That was a nice surprise! It was only when I got home that I realized that was the first day I had used the CdP powder. It has lasted me 11 months. At first I thought it was really expensive, but, after having it last that long and not purchasing things that just don't work, I think it's an indulgence worth keeping!

The search is over! I've found the perfect face powder! My previous favorite was Laura Mercier powder in ivory. This powder beats out Laura's hands down! This looks pink in the container but on the face, it's translucent. I don't mind shedding out the money since the container is huge. Will re-purchase again for sure!

I am suprised I have not reviewed this sooner. This was my very first product I purchased based on the reviews from MUA. I am not sorry I spent almost $100 for this since it lasted me almost over a year with everyday use. This is a highly elegant, superior grade pale pink loose powder. I had the Shisiedo loose powder that is pale pinke (the company that owns CDP) and it is laughable how inferior it is next the CDP. This is truly the creme de la creme of powders. It goes on like silk, never looks chalky on my nc 15 skin (which has yellow overtones by the way) and makes me look porcelain perfect. When I wear this I get alot of " you have porcelain skin" comments. This is one of my HG's! It has ok oil control properties but the key with CDP is that it does not cake up like other powders. Also, my skin is VERY sensitive and acneprone. It has never broken me out or irritated my skin- so sensitive girls feel confident it is safe to use( it is without any strong perfume/fragrance which is a huge plus too). If you use setting powder daily, I highly recommend splurging on this product. You will not be disappointed. I personally love CDP for their powders and primers- simply unmatched!

I have been working at OCC Computer full-time (More than 5 years)
Really relaxed, professional environment, great leadership both from the owners historically and particularly from the Directors who run the business day to day. They are still very hands on recruiters themselves and lead by example; giving us enough room to work the way we want to (but with strong guidelines) and yet being there when we need help or advice.
I personally would like the business to grow quicker, to be able to build a bigger team of recruiters and this is happening slowly. The owners are very cautious with investment, but on the other hand maybe that's why the company has been going over 40yrs....

Keep recruiting new people :)

Kingston's MobileLite Wireless G2 offers mobile media-streaming, extra battery life and much more.
Although it bears the same "G2" name as its big brother, the LG G2 Mini is watered down in every respect. Its screen has a disappointingly low resolution, its processor doesn't put up much of a fight and it has an 8- rather than 13-megapixel camera. Unless you crave 4G, the Motorola Moto G is a much better buy as it offers a better screen, the same processor and costs half the price. If however you're after the best mobile tech but in a more pocketable size, Sony's superb Xperia Z1 Compact is where your money should go.
Sporting more modest specs than its G2 bigger brother, LG's Mini variant features a 4.7-inch display, a quad-core processor, and Android 4.4.
If you're willing to live with some minor design compromises, you can't go wrong with LG's ultrafast G2 workhorse.
Though it has a great design and comes in a bunch of fun colors, feel free to skip the Eco-amp if you want big sound and something durable.
The Eton Grundig G2 Reporter is more than just a little portable radio, but it has some drawbacks to consider before you buy.
LG has finally revealed the LG G3 -- let's see how the new phone compares to its predecessor.
The LG G2 Mini has the same name as its top-end brother, but its unimpressive lineup of specs leave a lot to be desired. Check out our video review.
The Korean company will sell the mid-tier Android phone first in Russia and nearby countries starting next month, then spread to other parts of the world.
One of the creators of the G2 tells CNET how the smartphone maker looked to the example of pop star Psy for its flagship smartphone.

Last night I dined at Polpo, the hot new Italian restaurant on Beak Street in Soho that everyone appears to be talking about. Sure enough it was heaving and none of the new arrivals batted an eyelid at the 60 minute waiting time for a table. Even super chef Fergus Henderson happily waited in line. Strolling there with banker turned novelist Alex Preston we noticed that every other Soho restaurant was completely dead. How can it be that one establishment attracts every mover and shaker in London while others can't even attract one lowly tourist? Simple really: The quality of the food and the atmosphere. And Polpo isn't run by just anyone. The brain child of Russell Norman, who you will know from his sterling work at Caprice Holdings, Polpo has, in Norman's own words, "a very comfortable, very relaxed, downtown New York kind of a feel."Read

Didn't that exempt me from cancer tests?Read

In The Peppered Moth, Margaret Drabble chronicles four generations in the life of a family, homing in on the female line and attempting to explain how genes, DNA, and environment can change or challenge an individual. The tale begins with Bessie Bawtry, a gifted young woman from a South Yorkshire mining town who fails to live up to her promise. It ends with her granddaughter, Faro Gaulden, "a bobby dazzler" radiant with opportunities and ideas, who nonetheless can't quite make the most of what she has. All of this would produce a fairly straightforward and enjoyable tale of family life--and inherited characteristics--but for Drabble's tone, which is, frankly, uneasy. It wavers from the clinical voice-over ("We must try to rediscover the long-ago infant in her vanished world") to the mawkish elegy ("O poor young girls in flower, you poor frail darlings, who will watch over you, who will guide and protect you?").
What happened? Drabble's afterword, in fact, explains a great deal of this waywardness. Bessie Bawtry, with her hard-won education, her relinquishing lapses into illness, and her life of deferred pleasures, is based on the author's mother. Consequently, there is the sense of filling in biographical gaps with fictional plots and characters, and then carefully plastering everything into place with a thin layer of scientific metaphor. Drabble, alas, is too personally involved with this material, and her prose suffers. It juts and jars at awkward angles, reducing The Peppered Moth to a gawky adolescent of a book instead of a mature, measured reflection on family history. --Eithne Farry

Re: [scoutradio] Selling Stuff & Inquiry

- To reach Scouters interested in Ham Radio, I would suggest contacting the
local 'Roundtable" Commissioner to introduce yourself to the local Scout
leaders. Roundtables are monthly meeting held in Districts which, in turn,
report to the local Council.
The name of the District staff can be obtain from the Council or a local
Scoutmaster in your immediate area. We introduced Ham Radio at a local Scout
Show that many Districts hold on an annual basis, as well as JOTA.
The local Scout Camp is also an excellent point of contact to find Scouters
who also have a Ham license. Once we established K4BOY at the local BSA
Camp, the Scouter/Hams found us!
Good luck and be patient. It takes time to establish a program, but a few
individuals can really make a difference.
Best 73's
Steve White,W4SNW
Unit Commissioner
and Trustee, K4BOY

Integrated Pest Management is the process of continually scouting for lawn and landscape related pests and injury. Pests can be defined as a weed, disease, rodent or insect that can cause injury. When managing the health of your lawn and landscape it is very important to understand the goals of Integrated Pest Management. The two primary goals of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is to protect the environment and provide economical pest control up to the economic and aesthetic thresholds that you the property owner specifies. It is very important to be able to identify what exactly a pest is, if the pest is susceptible (or non-susceptible) to control and if a pest is injurious to the desirable managed plant or not. There are four primary control measures that are routinely used in IPM; Cultural, Mechanical, Biological and Chemical. Cultural control involves growing the desired plant to be healthy through proper fertility, planting, plant selection (less susceptible plants), mulching and mowing. Mechanical control is physically eliminating a pest by cultivating, pruning, hoeing and weed pulling, hand picking or burning and burying. Biological control utilizes living organisms such as predators (lady beetles, spiders, insect-feeding birds), parasites (parasitic wasps, tachinid flies, etc.) and diseases (B.t. bacteria, Beauvaria fungus). Lastly chemical control features the use of pesticides that are primarily quick, effective and short-term. It is highly recommended to consider non-chemical methods first. When applying pesticides you will need to consider any/all environmental impacts, proper timing and location of application. Resistance can be experienced from continual use of same mode-of-action pesticide.

Claims Office Specialist Interview
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Kansas City, MO) in September 2011.
I applied online and was contacted 2 days later by a recruiter. She then explained the next step in the process. She sent emails to me with links to a personality test, mini IQ test (mathematics and grammar), online typing test, and a times management module. The module gave various tasks of listening to voicemail, checking email, and answering math problems. It was all pretty stressful but I passed everything. With regards to the IQ test, study wonderlic questions and brush up on fractions and percents. Some of the vocabulary was basic spelling and some was matching.

Debra BondDeputy ControllerOffice of Management and Budget
"Bold" and "imaginative" are not the first words that come to mind when talking about federal financial systems management, but Debra Bond has made them synonymous with the field.
Charged with overhauling the way government treats a range of financial issues and radically improving performance, she spearheaded development of an OMB policy that temporarily halted all financial systems modernization and then redesigned those programs to lower their risk and cost and increase accountability for failure.
The result has been smaller projects with clearer goals, a focus on agencies' most critical business needs and greater transparency in project oversight. The policy has saved $1.6 billion and promoted a culture of accountability in federal IT.

The country of China looms large in Minnesota.
It is a major trading partner. Tourism is booming and hundreds of Chinese students come here for an education.
China is certain to play a major role in our future, but how much do we really know about it?
Jason Davis went "On the Road" to China to learn more about the China-Minnesota connection.
Davis visited an elementary school in Hopkins, Minn., where the kids speak nothing but Chinese and their sister school in Beijing where in English is the major focus.
Also, we got an up-close look at the famous Terra Cotta warriors that created a sensation last winter when some examples were on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
Davis also visited Minnesotans who live and work in China to find out what life is like in the vast country.
