Glass company in Belle Vernon was oldest in U.S.
The American Window Glass Co. played an important role in the history of Belle Vernon Borough, which is celebrating its 200th birthday this year.
The firm also held a mark of distinction in the history of the United States.
That was the message Norman L. Niece, superintendent of the firm, emphasized when he addressed a meeting of the Brownsville Rotary Club on July 20, 1939.
Introduced by Dr. Kenneth G. Knapp, chairman of the club's vocational services committee, Niece outlined the history of the glass industry and explained with samples placed on each plate the use and processes of its manufacture.
According to a story in The Charleroi Mail on July 24, Niece told the Rotarians the first glass was manufactured by settlers in Jamestown, Va., in 1607 and the first glass produced in Pennsylvania was near Lancaster in 1761. The Belle Vernon glass plant, he said, was built in 1834 and began operations in 1836.
"It is the oldest window glass factory in the United States," Niece said.
Niece did not mention it but it should be noted that another glassmaking firm, R.C. Schmartz and Co., began operating in Belle Vernon in 1882. It later was purchased by American Window Glass Co.
Niece said products manufactured in Belle Vernon "are used for different grades of window glass, the heavy glass windows or lenses in glasses and photo glass, mirrors, picture framing and many other purposes."
The Belle Vernon Window Glass Co., "is the only plant in the United States equipped for cutting photo glass," Niece said.
The significance of the Belle Vernon factory drew attention in a Tuesday, June 16, 1908, story in The Charleroi Mail that said, "an important but very unusual shipment" from the Monongahela Valley will be made this week from the American Window Glass Company's works at Belle Vernon."
"The consignment will consist of 8,000 boxes containing 400,000 feet of window glass valued at $16,000," the story added. "This cargo is consigned to the Campbell Paint and Glass Co. of New Orleans and is the first shipment of the kind made directly by water, probably for many years and, if successful, others may be made to many other points along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers."
The shipment of glass was being made on the River Combine's large model barge "No. 26," which arrived from the Donora mills, owned and operated by the United Steel Corp., which had on board a large complement of wire and nails also consigned to southern markets and is "in itself a very valuable cargo," The Mail reported.
With the addition of $16,000 worth of window glass it will be "one of the most important river shipments of miscellaneous products moved from the Valley at one time." it said.
W.M. Dravo, superintendent of the American Window Glass Co. in Belle Vernon, told the newspaper the firm was making the shipment for a "two-fold purpose, largely as an experiment first as to safety in shipments in bulk cargoes."
"Second, the consignment by river will be largely in our favor as to shipping rates and expenses from freight charges and demunerage usually incurred from shipments by rail."
Dravo said if the venture proved successful the company expected to ship largely in the future by river to such places as Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and Cairo, Ill.
American Window Glass Co., which also operated facilities in West Monongahela (Wightman Plant) for many years, incurred a devastating setback at the Belle Vernon site on Tuesday, July 23, 1907, when an early-morning fire destroyed the old No. 1 factory.
An archives account of that blaze from Sherry Shondelmyer, historian for the Bicentennial festivities, said damages to the plant were expected to exceed $20,000.
Walter Lewis of the Charleroi Volunteer Fire Department was injured when he fell from the fire wagon en route to the fire and was struck by two hose carts.
He was taken to Charleroi in an automobile for treatment of his injuries and was expected to recover. An employee at the factory also was severely injured when falling glass cut his leg.
Another destructive incident occured Saturday, March 26, 1949, when a tank being drained sprung a leak and molten glass started to flow onto the floor.
It is interesting to note that the near-disaster occured nearly four months before Niece spoke to the Rotarians in Brownsville.
The Monessen Daily Independent reported that only 17 men were working when the March 26 incident began around 5 p.m. and "they tried to stop the flow with water."
"However, becoming exhausted about 7:30 p.m. and the flow still out of control, they summoned the Belle Vernon Fire Company No. 2," the newspaper said. "Later, the North Belle Vernon and Charleroi fire companies were called."
Eighteen men were taken to Charleroi-Monessen Hospital for treatment, including four plant employees who were overcome by gas and 14 Belle Vernon firefighters who were injured in trying to stop the flow of the molten glass.
All but two men, who were kept overnight at the hospital, were treated and released.
As the men were overcome by the gas fumes, an emergency call went out for doctors and ambulances belonging to C.L. Melenyzer, Harold Toner and the Charleroi Volunteer Fire Department.
Firefighters said Bell Telephone Company operators were of "great help" in the crisis effort.
Oxygen was administered to the men at the plant through resuscitators owned by Toner, the Belle Vernon and North Belle Vernon fire departments and the glass company.
When a call went out that hot water bottles also were needed, "neighbors in the vicinity responded quickly," the newspaper said.
Company officials said the leak in the glass tank started when it was being drained as part of a shutdown operation the plant.
The factory was closed because of needed repairs and a seasonal slackening in business, it was reported.
The bottom of the tank "had been worn thin ... by 41 months of continuous operations," the newspaper story revealed. It was one of the tanks listed for repairs that were to be made before the plant reopened.
In addition to members of their unit being sent to the hospital, the Belle Vernon Fire Department incurred damage to or loss of equipment, including a light generator, several sections of hose and three hose nozzles.
Damages were estimated at $500.
Some 80 volunteer firefighters from Belle Vernon, North Belle Vernon and Charleroi responded to the alarms and were on the scene until 11 p.m.
The Charleroi Mail reported that Monessen firefighters also were involved.
The Belle Vernon factory did not reopen, as many had anticipated.
American Window Glass Co. announced on Tuesday, June 7, 1949, that the decline of business would "force the company's hand" in plans to abandon the plant in Belle Vernon.
A United Press story on the front page of The Monessen Daily Independent stated:
"In view of operations now under way at the company's new plant at Okmulgee, Okla., a company spokesman explained, it was decided that the Belle Vernon plant, the company's smallest plant, would eventually be abandoned. Current business conditions have forced the move sooner than anticipated."
The story recalled that the Belle Vernon plant had been closed since March, leaving the company with operating units in Jeannette and Arnold, in addition to the Oklahoma facility.
It reported a skeleton work force from the approximately 550 employees at Belle Vernon "is still engaged in clearing stock" from the site."
Ensuing action involving the Belle Vernon facilities evolved on Wednesday, Oct. 19, 1949, when the Hetz Construction Co. asked the Fayette County commissioners to reduce the tax assessment on the plant from $210,350 to $50,000 – a 75 percent cut.
Russell W. Hetz Jr. said his company was asking for the slash during the "dismantling process."
The Daily Independent reported that he said the company "wants to be judged and assessed on a 'temporary idle plant status' and not on an 'operating status.'"
Belle Vernon Borough officials were opposed to any reduction of the assessment, emphasizing that the lessening of the levy would amount to approximately one-third of the municipality's total assessment of $648,845.
According to Hetz, his company purchased the property from the American Window Glass Co. for $75,000 with the stipulation that all the machinery used in the manufacture of glass would be removed and sold "but not on this continent."
The newspaper explained that the Hetz company "makes a specialty of purchasing abandoned plants and remodeling them for sale to small fabricators in part or in whole."
At present, The Daily Independent said, plans for the Belle Vernon plant, which occupies some 25½ acres "call for 12 separate units, with one unit already sold to Santori Brothers of Monessen, who will use the space for manufacturing small furniture."
The Santori Brothers Cabinet Co. was one of several businesses that operated at the site over the years before a spectacular five-alarm fire, visible for miles along the Monongahela River, gutted the plant on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 1976.
Arson was suspected in the blaze, which caused an estimated $100,000 loss.
Patrick C. Herforth, a custom furniture maker and woodworker, owns and operates PCH Furniture Design and his business is currently located at the American Window Glass Co. site.

Packers squander late chance to score tying touchdown
Steelers/NFL Videos
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Despite all their miscues, ill-timed penalties and strategical errors, the Green Bay Packers still had a chance to maintain control of their playoff destiny by finding the end zone from 1 yard away.
But after comebacks the past two weeks, all the Packers found Sunday was misery after a 38-31 loss to the Steelers at Lambeau Field.
There were 20 seconds left, the Packers had a second-and-goal at the Steelers' 1, and
they imploded.
First, there was a false start penalty on right tackle Don Barclay.
"Trying to run a play," Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari said. "Clock's running. People are screaming. I won't say it's the easiest situation."
There was a mandatory 10-second run-off because the penalty came inside the final two minutes, and when the Packers lined up for second-and-goal at the 6 with 10 seconds left, confusion reigned.
"It just looked very chaotic and unorganized," said fullback John Kuhn, who played for the Steelers in 2005-06. "It was a shame it came down to that. (Referee Carl Cheffers) announced it over the stadium speakers, so I think everybody caught on to that. It was just chaotic and very unorganized."
From tight end Andrew Quarless' perspective, there was indecision beyond what was found with his teammates.
"I was kind of surprised with that 10-second deal," Quarless said. "I did hear the ref say something, but to me there was a little level of confusion by them. I'm not going to blame it on them.''
The end came when quarterback Matt Flynn didn't take the snap until 3 seconds remained. His pass to Jarret Boykin in the end zone sailed high.
"We should have been able to get two plays off," Flynn said. "We thought that getting the ball down, and getting the clock started, was a little bit weird.
"I don't know what happened. I think (Cheffers) was holding up the center and wound the clock when he was backing up, so I don't know."
The Packers were out of timeouts when they burned their last one after Steelers tailback Le'Veon Bell ran to the Packers' 1 with 1:35 to play. That play was preceded by an encroachment penalty on Packers linebacker Nick Perry on fourth-and-3, which gave the Steelers a first down at the Green Bay 5.
After Bell's run to the 1, nose tackle B.J. Raji admitted the defense allowed Bell to score on the next play to save time.
"I would just say collectively, as a defense, we just decided with no more timeouts, we felt like the best chance was to (let them) score," Raji said.
Asked why the Packers hadn't made that decision the previous play, linebacker A.J. Hawk said, "I don't know, that's a good question.''
When Packers coach Mike McCarthy was asked if he considered letting the Steelers score on first down from the 5, he paused, then said, "No, I didn't."
In the end, that lack of timeout prevented the Packers from stopping the clock with 10 seconds left to get organized and essentially ensure they would get at least two cracks to score the game-tying touchdown.
"It was right there,'' cornerback Tramon Williams scored. "The opportunity was right there before us, and we let it slip through our hands.''

Home construction climbs 6.8 percent
Housing starts rose 6.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 914,000, the government reported Tuesday.
April's rate was revised up to 856,000 from the 853,000 pace originally reported.
Single-family housing starts rose 0.3 percent last month after two months of declines.
Housing starts were expected to pick up last month because of a surge in building permits in April.
Obama: Bernanke likely to leave Fed
President Barack Obama has given the clearest signal yet that Chairman Ben Bernanke will likely leave the Federal Reserve when his term ends in January.
During an interview with PBS' Charlie Rose that aired Monday, Obama said Bernanke has "already stayed a lot longer than he wanted or he was supposed to." Obama also said Bernanke has done "an outstanding job."
Obama's comments came in response to a question that touched on whether he would reappoint Bernanke to a third four-year term.

Denver Post NHL reporter Adrian Dater posts his Avs Mailbag during the NHL season.
Pose an Avalanche- or NHL-related question for future Avs Mailbags.
In the local newspaper, I read that Patrick Roy is ready for the NHL and he will listen to either Colorado or Montreal.Why they don't make an offer to him.Why not Jacques Lemaire as head coach and Patrick Roy as GM.
---Sylvain Heroux, Trois-Rivières, Quebec
Hey, it's not a bad combination on paper. But one thing: Patrick Roy is going to want to coach when he joins the NHL, not just be a GM. He might want to be both -- and he almost was in Denver a few years ago. But first off, he wants to be behind the bench.
Jacques Lemaire is probably at the point in his life, too, where he wants to take it easy in retirement. So I don't see this.
Of course, the Avs are winning as I write this. NOW the main question is: Will the Avs give Joe Sacco an extension? After the game against L.A. the other night, as I was hanging around the locker room, I saw Pierre Lacroix give Sacco a big hug. Didn't look like a guy wanting to fire his coach anytime soon.
As the season has progressed, I have noticed the Avs' D-men dumping the puck into the offensive zone and then more often chasing it themselves. Is this a league-wide trend or a strategy the Avs coaches have mandated the denfensemen employ?
---Trevor Mariotti, Henderson
I don't think it's a trend, but it's probably something D-men don't mind doing as much anymore, both because they can skate so much better than the past, so they can get to pucks easier and keep them in the zone better on a line change. And also, because teammates are probably in a set defensive formation that is going to preclude some easy breakout or long pass just because the D-man is chasing down a puck.
It's great to see the Avalanche get on a winning streak, so I don't want to jinx it. But why has Kyle Quincey been a healthy scratch the past few weeks?
---Fikshun, Austin, Texas
I think it was just bad timing for Quincey. The team started winning when he was sidelined, and Joe Sacco, like many coaches, doesn't like to change things up too much when things are good. Quincey didn't take the benching all that well, but you'd have to question a player's attitude who was OK with being benched.
Hi Adrian, I have to question the sincerity of the comments made by Josh Kroenke in the recent Post article regarding their (the Kroenke's), interest in the Avalanche in comparison to the Nuggets. If their interest and concern for the fans is, at minimum, equal, why then are the Avs always switched to Altitude 2 when there is a conflict in games?
---Jim Wilson, Denver
I don't know, I remember seeing a lot of Nuggets games on Altitude 2 in the past when the Avs were also on. The Avs were on ALT on Friday for the Blackhawks game. Then Saturday on ALT 2. I'm not totally current on the whole local broadcast schedule now, but I don't think this is an issue where the Kroenkes want the Nuggets on the better channel all the time.
I've noticed lately that the Avs' second 'A' has been worn by either Eric Johnson or Jay McClement.
---Mike Abitbol, Highlands Ranch
Those have been the main two players to wear the A, although Cody McLeod has worn it too. It's funny how fans care so much about that stuff. To me, it's just a letter on a guy's jersey. The 'C' is another matter, but the A's don't matter much to me.
Isn't it time for the Avalanche to honor Adam Foote? I think there should be consideration given to retiring his number.
---Bob Westcott, Thornton
As far as I know, nothing is planned for Foote this season. I would bet that next year something will be done, and yes I believe his number will be retired. I would bet a lot of money on that.
I've been watching 24/7 the past couple years and I've noticed that teams like the Capitals and Flyers have victory songs in the locker room after the win or they pass out hats or other things. Do the Avalanche have any kind of tradition like these?
---Andy G., Natick, Mass.
For quite a while, the Avs' victory song was Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." But I haven't heard that his year. It also used to be "Gonna have a good night" or whatever that song is called by the Black Eyed Peas. Just once I'd like to hear something old-school, like "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles. Now that would be a good victory song.
Adrian Dater has covered the Colorado Avalanche since the team moved to Denver in 1995. Send him an Avalanche- or NHL-related question for the Avs Mailbag.

Recipe: Triple Chocolate Trifle
Triple Chocolate Trifle is a fabulous dessert that's quick and easy to throw together… made with chewy chocolately brownies covered with rich chocolate pudding…. and here's the surprise…. sprinkled with chopped mini candy bars…. use your favorite candy bar… make each different to suit each person…. We used chopped Snickers (Warren's favorite) and Milky Way bars (my favorite).
It was a great treat… so good in fact… I'm going to head to the kitchen after posting this to get my chocolate "hit" of the day….
You can make this from scratch …. I have terrific brownie and chocolate pudding recipes… or use the boxed varieties…
I used "fun sized" candy bars… cut them down the center and then cut them across to make little cubes….
Before you roll your eyes and decide not to make it for kids…. I only used one candy bar per serving… and it was a small candy bar…. Trust me everyone will love this.
Recipe: Triple Chocolate Trifle
All you need:
Brownies (my recipe or boxed)
Chocolate pudding (my recipe or boxed)
Fun-size candy bars
Whipped cream

Galaxy Note 8.0 is not worth buying
Samsung released Galaxy Note 8.0 and it is available to purchase in the United States for $399 from April 11th. Everyone knows that the Galaxy Note series from Samsung is awesome. However, the Galaxy Note 8.0 is not so awesome. Why? There are a list of reasons why the Galaxy Note 8.0 is not worth buying.
1. Design
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is 0.76 pounds heavy, and the side bezel (landscape) is 0.7 inches. If this tablet is compared to the iPad mini, the side bezel is three times thicker. Therefore, the customer experience with the hardware won't be good as the iPad mini gives you.
2. It was made to prevent iPad mini's popularity
iPad mini was released with a 7.9 inch display with an awesome hardware. After the iPad mini was released, Samsung released Galaxy Note "8".0. This was clear that Samsung made this to prevent iPad mini to increase their sales.
3. Price
$399 for a 8 inch tablet is too expensive. When it is compared to iPad mini ($329) or Nexus 7 ($199) it is excessively expensive.
We would not recommend you to purchase the Galaxy Note 8.0 because it is not worth it.

Would You Eat at a Restaurant With No Menus?
Recently Mouthing Off, Food & Wine's blog, chatted about the menu, or lack thereof, at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. The restaurant of James Beard Award winning chef Dan Barber stopped using menus a year ago. Instead, diners are presented with a list of in-season ingredients. They select either five or eight courses and let the waitstaff know of any off-limits foods. The kitchen has total control over a patron's meal. Considering I'm an adventurous and sometimes indecisive (I want to try everything!) eater, I would love to eat at a menu-free restaurant — especially if the chef is as acclaimed as Barber. How about you?

You were my destiny
To you
I offered the best of me
As a team

Now we grow on

Of aging and saging
What a freaking good plan.
You were my destiny
To you
I offered the best of me
As a team
We made our own history
Now we grow on
Toward the mystery
Of aging and saging
What a freaking good plan.
Really like this one!
What a great follow-up to your Illicit Thrill poem. A freaking good plan is the path to take!! ~Paula
Love it! That last line is great!
Thank you for visiting A Trellis Truce. You are so right about Ada, but than, doesn't the lady always know best? LOL. Clearly, you and your other half have worked things out to perfection!
Yes it is! Aging and saging (and sagging if you're me!)
Ladies, sagging can have it's own attractions for us mere males…
Oh I love this, especially "what a freaking good plan". Nice to know that it exists:)
a swell plan of love!
A cheerful tale, especially the last part.
I had to comment on this one. Love the last line. I recently was married (again), past middle age. And that aging together thing is wonderful. Freaking wonderful! Thanks for the poetry.
beautiful and fun too…aging together is indeed a blessing.
Love it Kim, just love it, nothing else to say.
What a nice plan, Kim!
Simply loved it.:-)
LoL! that was SO cute! What a sweet tribute to your man! :-)
Love the last line, "freaking good plan" YOU made me smile! Aging truly isn't for sissies~
it's beautiful … I love to read your poems as it always gives me a glimpse of a life not known to me. loved – 'Of aging and saging
Together'…God bless you.
Love this!I am aging happily with my own Good Husband…together is a freaking good plan indeed…:)
Imagination Lane
Aging together…..wonderfully said…
blessed for sure…May God bless you always…
Perhaps if I was to be asked one fundamental running thread in this poem, then I would say team-spirit. Reminds me of some episode somewhere I watched some years ago. An old couple, walking together, during valentine–in their own way celebrating each other. Them laughing exposing their toothless gums, but nonetheless living in that moment. Who can beat that?
Very nice, and I especially liked "Toward the mystery
Of aging and saging"
Good! I wish you and your husband togetherness as you age.
lol! "Freaking good plan" Loved it Kim! xo
The unknown beckons each day. Old or young, it calls and draws us together.
I think grey hair makes for glorious love …
Sounds like a freakin good plan to me! :)
What a great love poem and the ending cracked me up. That's MY love story, too, there at the end. LOL
It's been said but needs repeating – a great ending, Kim! Of course, the greatness is in what comes before and how much we relish a loving spouse.

VVP808-002 Clinical Study
Verva's clinical candidate, VVP808, is a non-thiazolidinedione insulin sensitizer for use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The active ingredient of VVP808 (methazolamide) was originally approved in North America over 50 years ago as a treatment for glaucoma. Its unexpected anti-diabetic activity was identified using Verva's proprietary Gene Expression Signature (GES) discovery platform. VVP808 has a mode-of-action that is different to existing diabetes medicines, providing an important new line of treatment for T2DM.
In June , 2012, Verva announced the top-line results of a Phase 2 clinical proof-of-concept study evaluating VVP808 in patients with T2DM. The clinical study achieved its protocol-specified primary efficacy endpoint, a reduction in the diabetes marker HbA1c compared to placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. The drug was safe and well-tolerated and the study identified potential additional clinical benefits of VVP808 beyond HbA1c reduction, including improvements in markers of liver function and weight loss in metformin co-treated patients.
The VVP808-002 clinical trial was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study evaluating the safety and efficacy of VVP808 in T2DM patients who were (i) not taking any other glucose modulating medications; or (ii) currently stable on metformin alone. Participants received oral VVP808 or placebo daily for 24 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was a reduction in HbA1c levels in participants receiving VVP808 compared to those receiving placebo. Secondary endpoints included fasting blood glucose; HOMA-IR index; and improvement in participant risk factors such as body weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and lipid profile.
Verva Discovery Programs
Novel Therapeutic Target
Verva preclinical studies have determined that the mechanism by which VVP808 exerts its effect in diabetes is different to its known mode-of-action in glaucoma. Moreover, the proposed VVP808 novel therapeutic target has not previously been evaluated in diabetes therapy. Verva is pursuing characterization of the VVP808 mode-of-action in diabetes and exciting recent results suggest that molecules acting at the VVP808 novel therapeutic target may have additional application in significant unmet medical needs beyond metabolic disorders. Success in the VVP808-002 clinical trial partially validates the relevance of this target in diabetes and its utility in diabetes drug development.
VVP100X: Next Generation Molecules from VVP808
Verva is utilizing mechanistic and structural knowledge derived from studies with VVP808 and the target identification program to develop proprietary, next-generation medicines optimized to the VVP808 novel therapeutic target. Preliminary in silico and in vitro studies identified multiple development scaffolds and Verva has generated a library of molecules for target screening.

I wrote an essay about it somewhere here on Foo but I can't find it now.

Voyageurs National Park biologists found 69 bald eagle nests within the park boundary this April while conducting their spring aerial survey to determine the number and location of nesting pairs present.
Due to this, the park has temporarily closed the land and water areas around active bald eagle nests to visitor use during their critical nesting periods.
Park managers are asking both motorized and non-motorized watercraft users to not travel within 200 meters of bald eagle nesting sites and adjacent land areas during the closure period.
Boaters are encouraged to not stop on the water within the 200 meters near active nesting sites.
Three of the park's 239 developed visitor use camping and houseboat sites are affected by the temporary closures.

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
cut! cut! cut! cut! cut! cut!
These cuts are political jousting. Ultimately, even "ultra" conservative Republicans will not want to cut programs negatively impacting their constituencies. Games, games, games!
Or don't cut, keep overspending, and give international creditors even more power over these United States... "the banks" like having the US administration on a string.
The size of the Defense budget alone creates a security risk; Gate's cuts are way too small. The US trades away sovereignity with ever 100 billion it overspends.
Sorry, Ollie, the cuts are coming, baby!!
Only cut back to 2008 levels? Spending exploded under G.W. Bush. If they were truly serious, they'd agree to cut spending back to 1999 levels when the government was running surpluses. Of course, an actual return to surplus would require the undoing of Bush's tax cuts, as well.
Why not concentrate on functions or departments that are obsolete, ineffective, or detrimental to the growth, healthor education of ournation? Elimination of the Education, Energy, Entitlement (just to name a few) would ssubstantially reduce the budget. Then go after the TSARS and all the other appointments NOT required by the Constitution.
Forcing ALL elected officials to come under the SDocial Security plan, to have the health care plan that we the taxpayer has, & ssubject them to a form of CORI test once they get elected. Ethics notwithstranding, campaign financing irregularities & lobbyists payoffs seem to be too redially available and end up corrupting many.
A system needs to be in place to consistantly monitor the HONESTY of all our elected officials.

The faculty/mentors at Career Anna is incredible! They were very helpful and interested in what students want. The team focused on doubt solving and the mentors were available 24*7. Over all, this was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend it to others. Aakash Jain, IIM Ahmedabad Class of 2017
I approached Career Anna for help with mock interviews and input on WAT and GD's once I had received interview calls from IIM A, C, L, K, FMS, amongst others. Some points that I found commendable: Career Anna has a very good collection of FAQ's for WAT/GD/PI for various premier institutes. From first hand experience, I can say that the nature of these selection processes was consistent with CA's input for 9 interviews out of the 11 that I attended. I was able to schedule mock-interviews with alumni from premier institutes, for invaluable input a few days before my interviews. The network of alumni from premier B-schools available here for customized preparation is not available elsewhere at one place in an organized manner, to my knowledge. The input offered varied from expectations in terms of quantitative aptitude/general awareness for various institutes, weaknesses in my profile, and strengths to be capitalized on. For the quality offered, the program here offers arguably the best value for money in the market. Kartik Balasubramaniam, IIM Calcutta Class of 2015-2017
Here are a few things I would like to bring to your notice: Varun Sir has always been helpful, and always ready to traverse that extra mile, only to put us in a better position. Varun Sir had left no stone unturned to help us out: We questioned freely, and questioning was always followed by interesting discussions, guided by Sir, himself-- let's just say, that the course seemed more like play . Thank you sir!Shreya Mittal, XLRI Class Of 2015- 2017
Varun sir, I'm speechless. Running out of words to thank you for the personal guidance. I'll remember why Supply Chain throughout my life. Thank you so much!Kaushik Dutta, SPJIMR Mumbai class of 2017
Career Anna is an amazing platform that gives accurate and authentic information about B schools. The online sessions and courses helped me a lot during GDPI. Thanks Career Anna. Nikhil Dulipala - IIFT Delhi, class of 2017
I have converted XIMB sir.. I am going there.. Thank you so much for all the advices.. I really can't thank you by words..

When it comes to makeup, Freida doesn't have much to say. That's because she doesn't really wear it! "I don't have too many beauty tips, because I am not fond of wearing too much makeup," she has said. "I always wash my face before bed. I can't sleep with makeup on, even just a little bit. I like my skin clean. I wear sunscreen every day; that's my cardinal rule."

We've put together a collection of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about DAB radio. We hope we've covered most issues. However, if you can't find the information that you're looking for, please do get in touch via the contact page.
- Abroad
- Q: Can I receive stations from America or other countries on my DAB receiver?
- A: No. Unlike satellite radio or Internet radio, DAB radio is land-based and operates only within its transmission range.
- Q: Can I take my DAB digital radio abroad and still listen to the same stations?
- A: No. DAB digital radio is a terrestrial technology using land-based transmitters. You can only listen to stations when you are within their transmission range.
- Q: If I take my DAB digital radio abroad, will I be able to pick up foreign DAB services?
- A: Yes. In the UK, DAB services are broadcast on a band of spectrum called Band III. Many European countries also use Band III, although some use a different band of spectrum called L Band. And, just to be awkward, some countries, such as Germany, use Band III in one part of the country and L Band in another.
If the receiver you are using is designed only to pick up Band III, then it will work in other countries using Band III and you will be able to listen to local DAB services. If it is a dual-band receiver (that is, designed to work on either Band III or L Band) then it will pick up any DAB stations being broadcast on either Band III or L Band abroad. If you specifically want a receiver that will work both in the UK and Europe, then make sure before you buy that it is a dual band receiver.
- Q: Can I listen to my in-car DAB radio abroad?
- A: Digital Radio UK is working closely with vehicle manufacturers, as part of the Digital Radio Action Plan, to ensure there is a pan-European standard for digital radio in-vehicles. As part of the Digital Radio Action Plan, a minimum specification for digital radio in-vehicles is being developed. This is due to be published early in 2012. The minimum specification includes FM, DAB and DAB+. Several European Union states are planning similar transitions as the UK and have services available on DAB or DAB+ (for example, Germany is rolling out DAB+ services in August 2011). As a result, vehicle manufacturers who comply with the minimum specification can be sure that their cars can access all digital radio stations available across Europe.
- Aerials
- Q: Can I use my existing FM or TV aerial?
- A: Probably not, but give it a try. Some DAB stations can be received by plugging a standard FM or TV aerial into a DAB radio, but the best reception will always be via a DAB aerial. There's no guarantee your existing aerial will work.
- Q: Do I need a new aerial for my car?
- A: Yes. Many existing FM aerials are 'helically wound'. A helically wound aerial is short and stubby, and is usually roof-mounted. It is most often fitted to newer models and is designed to amplify the FM signal, so it may not work effectively with a DAB radio.
You can either buy a combined FM/DAB roof mounted aerial for your car and replace your existing aerial with it, or you can buy a separate DAB aerial to sit alongside your existing FM aerial. There are two types of DAB aerials available for the car, either a magnetic mount for steel panels, or an active glass strip aerial, which is an adhesive amplified antenna for glass mount.
- Q: What sort of aerial do I need?
- A: Your digital radio hi-fi tuner will come with an indoor aerial, either a 'ribbon dipole' or a 'monopole' ('half dipole'). Portable radios usually feature either a standard telescopic aerial, or with handheld models, the aerial is usually built in to the headphones.
The aerial supplied should work well if you're within a DAB coverage area. However, if you're listening in a basement, or your building is steel-framed or made of reinforced concrete, you might need an external aerial. As a rule of thumb, if you already have poor FM or mobile phone reception, chances are you'll need an external aerial. If you want an outdoor aerial, we suggest you have it installed by a professional aerial installer registered with the Confederation of Aerial Industries, www.cai.org.uk. First, though, see if placing the radio near to a window improves reception.
The Yagi aerial must be pointed at the transmitters. All DAB aerials must be vertically polarised. The higher the aerial is mounted, the better reception you will receive.
To obtain the best results from an external aerial, either use a dipole (omnidirectional aerial – should work well for moderate to strong signal levels provided it is vertically polarised) or, in exceptional circumstances, a Yagi (which has a much higher gain than a dipole, but is directional – best suited where reception is poor and all transmitters are in the same direction).
- Coverage
- Q: Can I get DAB digital radio anywhere in the UK?
- A: Coverage of BBC national digital services is currently 94% and is being extended to 97% target by the end of 2015.Local DAB is available to 72% of the UK population. Plans are currently being developed to extend local commercial and BBC coverage to 90%+ (around 200 transmitters) by the end of 2016.National commercial digital services are currently available to 85% of the UK population and will cover 90% by end of 2016.
- Q: Can I get local stations from other parts of the country?
- A: No. Because it's a terrestrial transmission system, you can only receive local stations within their transmitter range. So, for example, you can't get BBC Radio Wales on DAB digital radio if you live in Scotland. However, you can access local radio from around the country via the internet or digital TV.
- Q: Is the reception the same all over the UK?
- A: No, the reception you get depends on the coverage in your area. Stations also vary from region to region, so if you take your DAB radio from one part of the country to another, you'll need to 'auto-tune' it to pick up the stations that are available locally.
To find out which stations are available in your area please use the postcode checker on our website.
- Q: What is DAB+?
- A: DAB+ is not currently used in the UK but is an upgraded version of the technology used to bring you DAB digital radio. DAB+ uses exactly the same transmitters and broadcast technology as DAB, it simply converts sound to digital in a different way and therefore requires sets capable of receiving DAB+.
- Q: I've read that my DAB radio will become obsolete when DAB+ comes in. Is that true?
- A: There are currently no plans for the UK to start using DAB+.
Existing DAB radios will continue to receive all the stations currently broadcasting. It is currently against Ofcom regulations to transmit in DAB+ and so there are no DAB+ stations planned by broadcasters. While there are few DAB+ radios available to buy in the UK, some models do include DAB+ as standard, and more are upgradeable to DAB+ via a firmware download. You can generally check DAB+ capability with the manufacturer.
- Q: Why isn't the UK using DAB+?
- A: The benefits to UK radio listeners of DAB+ are relatively marginal, plus the vast majority of the UK's 11.5 million DAB radio sets would not be able to receive those services. However, DAB+ is compatible with DAB and could, in due course, be introduced alongside existing DAB services.
Other countries are adopting DAB+ simply because they are launching now and it is the most up to date version available to them. DAB+ uses exactly the same transmitters and broadcast technology as DAB, it simply converts sound to digital in a different way and therefore requires sets capable of receiving DAB+.However, the BBC has recently announced they are doing a technical trial for DAB+ in 2014.
- Data Services
- Q: What are data services?
- A: DAB has the potential to deliver all sorts of data to your radio. For now services are mostly audio, but several of the latest DAB radios are EPG-ready. An EPG is an Electronic Programme Guide, similar to that available on Sky TV. It lets you scroll through all the programmes available on the various stations and select the ones you wish to access or store for future listening. (See What is an EPG?)
- Delayed Transmission
- Q: Why is there a delay between analogue and DAB radio?
- A: If you have the same station playing on two radios, one analogue and one DAB, you will notice there is a delay of a few seconds between the two. In fact you will hear the DAB broadcast slightly after the analogue version.
There's nothing wrong with your radio. If you have digital TV, you'll find the same thing happens when you switch between analogue and digital transmissions of the same channel.
The techy answer is when the station originates as an analogue broadcast, the signal must be transformed into a digital transmission using MPEG2 encoding and COFDM modulation. This takes a couple of seconds, hence the delay when you hear it come out the other end.
- Digital radio
- Q: Why are we switching to digital radio?
- A: FM is full and has reached the limit of its capabilities and like other media, radio needs to have a digital future to meet listeners' expectations. Digital broadcasting is more efficient and we need to invest now in infrastructure for the future.
Digital radio gives you more of what you love: More content (the stations you have now, and digital-only stations); ease of use (find your favourite station at the touch of a button, track and artist information onscreen); and digital features (digital quality sound, internet radio, and the ability to pause, rewind and record).
- Q: When is digital radio switchover happening?
- A: There is a proposal for all UK national and most regional/local radio stations to transition from analogue (FM/AM) to digital radio. Some smaller local stations and community stations will continue to broadcast via analogue on FM.
However, there is no definite date yet set for when this will happen. Government has said that certain criteria has to be met before a definite date can be set - including national DAB coverage matching that of current national FM coverage; local DAB coverage reaching 90% of the population and all major roads; and 50% of all radio listening being digital. Only when these criteria are met will a date be set, giving two years' notice.
Many improvements to the service will be made before stations transition from analogue to digital. For more information please see the coverage FAQ.
- Digital Radio UK
- Q: What does Digital Radio UK do?
- A: Digital Radio UK's Board comprises representatives from the BBC, RadioCentre, Arqiva, Global Radio, Bauer Media, Intellect and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Digital Radio UK works with Government, broadcasters, manufacturers, retailers and a wide range of stakeholders to accelerate digital listening, to enable the expansion of the digital radio platform, and to ensure that industry meets the consumer-led criteria to be achieved before a digital radio switchover.
Digital Radio UK sits on the Ministerial Group and the Steering Board for Digital Radio, and chairs two of the task groups of the Government-Industry Digital Radio Action Plan, the Technology and Equipment Group, and the Market Preparation Group.
- EPG - Electronic Programme Guide
- Q: What is an EPG?
- A: An EPG is an Electronic Programme Guide, similar to that available on Sky TV. An EPG lets you see what's on now and next, to search programmes and to set an advance timer record.
It lets you scroll through all the programmes available on the various stations up to a week in advance, and to select the ones you wish to access or store for future listening.
EPG data is available from a wide selection of broadcasters, including BBC services, Capital Radio, Heart, Absolute, Galaxy, Choice, Gold, Xfm and some local stations.
- Mobile Phones
- Q: I can already get FM radio on my mobile phone, why can't I get DAB?
- A: Manufacturers, broadcasters and telecoms operators have been talking for a while about putting DAB into mobile phones, and prototypes already exist. We expect to see mobiles with DAB soon.
- More Coverage
- Q: There is no DAB coverage in my area, will this change?
- A: Yes, coverage of BBC national digital services is currently 94% and is being extended to 97% target by the end of 2015.Local DAB is available to 72% of the UK population. Plans are currently being developed to extend local commercial and BBC coverage to 90%+ around 200 transmitters) by the end of 2016.National commercial digital services are currently available to 85% of the UK population and will cover 90% by end of 2016.
- Multiplex
- Q: What is a multiplex?
- A: A multiplex is a block of frequencies containing radio and data services. Using digital technology, more services can be carried within these blocks than can fit into a similar FM spectrum. So, there's more room for more stations.
- Q: Who owns the multiplexes?
- A: You need a licence to own a multiplex. Ofcom advertises licences for which interested parties can bid. Once the multiplex licence has been awarded by Ofcom, the new owner will seek out services to broadcast on the multiplex.
There is one national commercial multiplex owner (Digital One). The BBC has a separate national multiplex for its services. There are local multiplexes around the country, each broadcasting an average of seven services, plus the local BBC station. And there are several regional multiplexes covering a wider area and broadcasting up to 11 services each.
For more information on who owns what multiplex visit http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/radiolicensing/digital/dm-main.html
- My radio has lost its pre-sets
- Q: Why does my radio sometimes lose its pre-set stations?
- A: Some DAB radios have a backup battery that powers a memory chip. When the radio is switched off or unplugged from the mains, this chip remembers the stations you have stored as pre-sets. If the battery runs down, the data is lost. In addition, if the radio is moved to a new location, or signal strength is very low, some radios will automatically erase existing pre-sets and scan for new stations.
- Prices
- Q: How much do DAB digital radios cost?
- A: Hi-fi tuners and micro systems start at around £50. Hand-held products are priced from £35, while kitchen radios start at £25. CD/cassette radios start at £35. DAB clock radios start at £25. Wi-fi radios start at £50. In-car radios vary in price depending on if you buy an all-in-one unit, or go for the separates option (a boot box and head unit). Integrated DAB radios start at £125. DAB digital radio is a relatively new technology, so prices will continue to fall as the market matures, check our Product Finder regularly.
- Programme Listings
- Q: Where can I find out about programme listings for digital radio stations?
- A: There is little printed information on DAB programmes currently available. However, many DAB stations list their programme details on their websites. You can find URL addresses for most DAB stations via our station finder.
The Radio Times now carries listings for BBC digital stations and some national commercial DAB stations.
And more and more newspapers are beginning to feature DAB programmes in their 'Radio Choice' sections.
You can also check out the What's On page on this website for highlights of some unique DAB-only programmes.
- Retailers
- Q: Where can I buy a DAB radio?
- A: DAB digital radio receivers are stocked by more than 8,500 retailers around the country. They are available from most multiple high street electrical retailers and department stores such as John Lewis, Argos, Maplins, Dixons, Currys, Comet, Miller Brothers, Littlewoods etc. as well as from more than 1,600 independent hi-fi dealers around the country. You can also find DAB radios at most leading supermarkets. And you can also buy online from hundreds of etailers. For a complete list of retailers stocking DAB digital radios, visit our Where to Buy pages page.
- Satellite Radio
- Q: What is the difference between DAB and satellite rado?
- A: DAB digital radio is a terrestrial-based system, which means the services are broadcast on a number of multiplexes across the country with capacity for a certain number of services. These multiplexes are broadcast in different areas/regions via many transmitters across the UK. For DAB, the selection of stations you receive will depend on where you live. DAB radio is free to listen to.
Satellite radio is a digital radio signal that is broadcast by a communications satellite, which tends to cover a wider geographical range than terrestrial radio signals. However this service is often subscription based and consumers have to pay to listen to it. In areas with a relatively high population density, it is easier and less expensive to reach the bulk of the population with terrestrial broadcasts. Thus in the UK and elsewhere in the world, we have focused on DAB rather than satellite radio.
- Secondary Services
- Q: What is a Secondary Service and how do I tune in?
- A: (The following answer comes from the BBC's digital radio website.)
Flexibility within the DAB system means that secondary services can be brought onto the multiplex to allow broadcasters to create 'part-time' channels. Radio 4's LW output is transmitted as a secondary service to Radio 4's main output. Yesterday In Parliament and The Daily Service are broadcast on DAB in this way.
Similarly, 5 Live Sports Extra allows 5 Live to double its live sports coverage at certain times and is the digital radio home of Test Match Special.
To find out when 5 Live Sports Extra is next scheduled to broadcast, visit: www.bbc.co.uk/5livesportsextra/
To access a secondary service you need to tune in when the service is actually broadcasting. That way your DAB set will store the station in its memory. If you try tuning in when the station is not broadcasting the display screen will state: 'Station Off Air' or 'Station Unavailable'.
Many DAB tuners (hi-fi separates) utilise an LED display, which will illuminate when a secondary service is about to commence a transmission, and some tuners are programmable so that the radio will automatically switch to the secondary service of your choice.
- Stations
- Q: What stations can I listen to with a digital radio?
- A: On average, digital radio doubles the number of stations you can receive (compared with licensed AM/FM UK stations).
For a complete list of stations available in your area, both national and local, BBC and commercial, please visit our station finder page.
- Subscriptions
- Q: How much does it cost to subscribe to DAB digital radio channels?
- A: Nothing. Once you've bought your radio receiver, listening is absolutely free.
- Text
- Q: What is Text?
- A: All DAB digital radio receivers come with a small screen. This screen serves two purposes: first it lets you scroll through a list of stations to find the one you want, and then, once you've settled on a station, it displays a line of scrolling text generated by that radio station.
Most stations already use scrolling text to broadcast their name and music format. Some also identify the track and artist you're listening to, tell you what songs are coming up next, deliver news headlines, sports results, contact web addresses and telephone numbers.
- Troubleshooting
- Q: I'm in coverage area but I can't get anything on my DAB Digital Radio. Why?
- A: The first time you switch on your DAB Digital Radio you need to hit the Auto Tune button so it can pull in all the stations available in your area, otherwise it remains on factory settings. When you do this you'll see a number appear on the right of the screen which will rise as the scan continues. This tells you the number of stations you can receive. Once you've auto-tuned the radio you don't need to do it again unless you take the radio to another part of the country with different coverage.
- Q: Problem listening on DAB Digital Radio with your Denon TU-1800DAB Tuner?
- A: We've found that some listeners are having a problem with the following radio models:
- Denon TU-1800DAB tuners
- Marantz tuner ST7001
The symptom is that the tuner appears to randomly switch to other radio stations and then switch back again, for no apparent reason.
Please visit www.sontec.co.uk if you are experiencing TA issues with your Denon TU 1800. The email address is firstname.lastname@example.com and the address is:

There is a charge for the firmware upgrade which is required to solve the TA issue. Please use the following description: "DAB TA functionality update" when contacting Denon.
- TV Listening
- Q: Can I listen to digital radio stations through my TV?
- A: If you've got Sky (satellite digital television), Freeview (terrestrial digital television), or digital cable television, you can listen to some of the digital radio stations that are also available on DAB.
Of the more than 170 different formats available on DAB digital radio, you can listen to around 30 of them via Sky satellite TV, and about 20 are also on Freeview..

The foundation program officer had questions and suggestions, including targeting a portion of the … Continue reading
Turning a denied grant request into a relationship
I encourage nonprofits to consider a denied foundation grant as a beginning, not an end. Often the first try is an introduction, and it can take a few separate asks before getting to "yes". It's perfectly reasonable to request follow-up communication with foundation program staff. As the grant seeker, you have the right to … Continue reading
Nonprofits, show your supporters the love. Please!
There's an old rule that's simple and true: mind your manners. When my kids are headed out the door to spend time at a friend's I remind them to say please and thank you. Perhaps we all need a reminder every once in a while. It should be standard practice for nonprofits to not only … Continue reading

Barcelona, Spain
My Rating
It's extremely tough to get to the Pyrenees from Barcelona without having a car. This tour provides a good way of getting there, while getting tons of local history as well! Note: you only spend a few hours up in the Pyrenees. Don't go in thinking you'll have the entire day to hike in the mountains, or you'll be disappointed. I would have preferred more time in the Pyrenees (and less in Vic), but I enjoyed the tour highly nonetheless.

Now this is an idea I have had for a while and think that it would be too hard to do but would make a great amv.
Basically what I am thinking of doing is taking a sentence from a song and putting with another one to make a different song using 10 or 20 different songs. Don't know if this has already been before but I think it would make a great amv. It would make the amv sync a whole lot better if the song was meant just for that part.
NOW what I am asking if anyone would think this is a good idea or stupid or if anyone would want to help. I would more want someone who would work on the video part of the amv.
