Lent begins today! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
This chapter begins with an exhortation to progressive holiness and a due regard to the ministers of the gospel, 2 Cor. 7:1-4. Then the apostle returns from a long digression to speak further of the affair concerning the incestuous person, and tells them what comfort he received in his distress about that matter, upon his meeting with Titus (2 Cor. 7:5-7), and how re rejoiced in their repentance, with the evidences thereof, 2 Cor. 7:8-11. And, lastly, he concludes with endeavouring to comfort the Corinthians, upon whom his admonitions had had so good an effect, 2 Cor. 7:12-16.

Tiger Woods 'very comfortable' at Firestone
Wednesday, July 31, 2013
Tiger Woods has won seven times on Tour at Firestone Country Club.
So it's no wonder the annual stop in Akron, Ohio, is one Woods looks forward to.
"This is one of those courses that for me over the years I just have felt very comfortable on," Woods said Wednesday.
Woods hasn't won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational since 2009, but he finished T-8 last year. The tournament has more often than not served as a springboard for Woods entering the stretch run of the PGA Tour season.
"I've had times when I hadn't played well at all coming into this event and for some reason it turns it around," Woods said. "And I've had times when I'd played great and it's continued."
After a T-6 finish at the Open Championship, Woods is feeling great about his game. He also proved at Muirfield that his left elbow injury was no longer an issue after sidelining him earlier in the summer.
He's ready for "a lot of golf," starting with this week's event at Firestone and ending with the Presidents Cup with a major championship and four playoff events in between.
"It's a long haul from here," he said.

Reinforcement, repeated games, and local interaction
We investigate and compare different approaches to derive strategies from laboratory data in prisoners' dilemmas experiments. While theory suggests more cooperation in spatial structures than in spaceless ones, we find in our experiments either the opposite or no difference. In this paper we investigate to which degree learning and reinforcement explains this dependence on structure and information. Starting from a very simple model we gradually develop a setup where players use repeated game strategies and choose among these strategies using a simple reinforcement rule. We then measure to which degree this model explain players' behaviour.

Who among us has never had a nosebleed? Whether a dab of blood on a tissue or a terrifying flood, a nosebleed can arise from many causes: dry winter air, colds, injuries, or the common if unsavory habit of picking one's nose. In many cases, no cause can be identified with certainty. Sometimes nosebleeds arise more frequently because of faulty or weak collagen , a strengthening protein present in blood vessel walls and the surrounding connective tissue. Collagen problems may lead to nosebleeds in people who take corticosteroids and those with a condition called "fragile capillaries." Corticosteroids, including nasal steroids used for allergies, can thin the collagen in the mucous membranes lining the nose. In fragile capillaries, weak or defective collagen in blood vessel walls may contribute to bleeding. People with such collagen problems may have problems with bleeding gums, heavy menstrual periods, and bruising in addition to nosebleeds. Rarely, the cause of nosebleeds and other bleeding lies in the blood itself. Anything that reduces blood clotting may lead to nosebleeds. Drugs such as warfarin (Coumadin) or heparin , or regular use of aspirin, decrease the blood's tendency to clot. Caution : if you are taking such medications and begin to experience nosebleeds, talk to your doctor. Even natural substances such as ginkgo , policosanol , high-dose vitamin E , and garlic may increase the tendency to bleed. Conventional treatments for nosebleeds include various maneuvers for stopping acute bleeding, followed by the diagnosis and treatment of any underlying problems. Sometimes a physician can prevent future nosebleeds by cauterizing the blood vessel responsible.

Best Band Shell (1999)
North Shore Band Shell
In its Sixties prime, the North Shore Band Shell provided the setting for a television variety program. In fact the Mike Douglas Show logos can still be found in a dressing room. Recently, in an effort to build a sense of community among residents, Miami Beach officials revamped the shell and began sponsoring an array of activities: jazz bands, symphony orchestra performances, an Afro-Caribbean festival. On Friday nights the terrazzo dance floor becomes a roller rink. On Sunday nights seniors dance to a live band playing the hits of yesteryear. The multihue structure has stood its ground in the face of changing cultural tides, a fact made clear on the nights when the shell is spotlighted by the shimmering moon and the only music to be heard comes from the whistling wind and the rippling currents of the nearby ocean.

'Extreme Election: BGSU Edition'
The University has been the site of much political activity recently. Vice presidential candidates Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Joseph Biden both held rallies on campus, Palin on Oct. 29 and Biden on Nov. 1. And on Oct. 28, Gov. Ted Strickland and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown held a small "get-out-the-vote" event in Prout Chapel.
Speaking at the Palin rally, which packed the 5,500-seat Anderson Arena, were Ohio Rep. Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green), Ohio Sen. Mark Wagoner (R-2nd District), U.S. Rep. Bob Latta (R-5th District) and, introducing Palin, Betty Montgomery, former state senator, state auditor and Ohio attorney general.
Palin addressed an enthusiastic crowd, appearing with her husband and "Joe the Plumber."
Following the Palin rally in Anderson Arena, Elizabeth Vargas of ABC interviewed her in the women's locker room. Portions of the interview were later broadcast on "Good Morning America" and "20/20."
An estimated 2,500 people gathered on the University Hall lawn Saturday night to see Biden, who was introduced by his wife, Jill, and Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, as well as two young field organizers for the Obama campaign, Corrie Keegan and Josh Thurstin, who urged the crowd to be sure to vote.
The event was covered by the local media and the traveling press corps.

David Ortiz supplies some kids with a 'Babe Ruth-style' moment (again)
|06.26.14 at 2:03 am ET
SEATTLE — In the list of David Ortiz's accomplishments, it's tough to tell where this one ranks. But Mike Carp would certainly put it right up there.
"I'll never forget it," the first baseman said after the Red Sox' 5-4 win over the Mariners. "That was one of the coolest things I've seen on a baseball field."
What Carp was referencing was Ortiz's first-inning two-run home run, as the designated hitter took Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma well over the right-field fence on the third pitch of the at-bat.
But what truly made the moment came a few hours before.
Carp was showing around a group of young kids who were at Safeco Field as part of an event for Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. He was filling in as host for the injured Shane Victorino, who was supposed to play host to the collection of elementary-age fans.
"They got here late and we didn't get to show them BP or anything," Carp said. "I brought them in, had some of the players sign some balls, and I caught David before he went out on the field and asked him if he would mind saying hi. And before he left he said, 'I'm going to hit a home run for you guys today. I'm going to the moon!' and walked away."
And, a little time later, that's exactly what he did, setting Carp off into a frenzy in the Red Sox dugout, telling anybody who would listen about the promise Ortiz had made.
"It was Babe Ruth-style. Legendary," Carp said. "It's one thing to tell your teammates, 'Hey, I feel good today, I'm going to hit a home run.' You tell little kids, 5 or 6 years old, that you're going to hit a home run, they believe you. Then the very first swing you take is off the glass, you have to be kidding me."
Ortiz just smiled when asked about the turn of events, suggesting this is simply part of his repertoire.
Has he made promises before? "I always do," he said.
Has it ever come to fruition? "Most of the time," Ortiz deadpanned. He continued, "I told them I was going to the moon and I did. Yay!"

Two Israeli soldiers die in Gaza clash; Palestinian toll tops 300
GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Two Israeli soldiers were killed in a cross-boarder attack by Hamas militants on Saturday, the army said, as the Palestinian death toll from the conflict rose above 300 with no diplomatic solution in sight.
The Israeli military said four other soldiers were wounded in the raid by fighters who had used a concealed tunnel to reach Israel. One Hamas gunman was killed, while the rest of the group managed to escape back into the Gaza Strip, the military added.

1939 Buick Series 90 Limited news, pictures, specifications, and information
The Buick Series 90 sat atop a 140-inch wheelbase and was powered by an eight-cylinder engine that produced 141 horsepower. The Series 60 and 80 shared the same engine as the Series 90. The 4-door touring sedan had seating for six and would set the buyer back $2074. There were two other bodystyles offered on the series 90, one was a limousine which had seating for 8 and a touring sedan which also had seating for 8. The limousine was the highest price Buick for 1939, costing $2,453. It featured a movable glass partition in back of the chauffeur's compartment. A speaker system allowed the passenger and driver to communicate. A vanity case and rear compartment cigarette lighter could be found in the rear.
This 1939 Series 90 Limited was offered for auction at the 2006 Worldwide Auction held on Hilton Head Island. At the conclusion of the auction, it found a new owner for the price of $37,400.
By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2006
Considered to be the only Buicks that gained recognition by the Classic Car Club of America of Full Classics, the series 90 that were produced during 1931 to 1942 are also the most luxurious cars ever produced by Buick.
Only 3,006 of the total 369,831 automobiles produced in 1941 by Buick, were Series 90, and only 605 were limousines.
At the gargantuan weight of nearly 4760 pounds, 90 Series was built on a 138'(11.5 feet) - 139' wheelbase. With a completely odd body frame, the paintwork was done at a very high standard with excellent chrome finish. It featured an optional radio and clock with tan broadcloth upholstery with chrome and wood-graining accents.
Built by the Buick Motor Division of General Motors in Flint, Michigan between 1936 and 1942, the Buick Limited was a continuance of Buick's long wheelbase premium Series 90 automobile line. The Limited again resurfaced during the model year 1958.
The most costly Buicks in production, the 'Limited' name was used to denote those models that featured a high level of trim along with standard options in its various model ranges.
The Buick Limited Sedan was showcase in the 1941 Roadmaster and Limited catalog issue by General Motors and was a continuance of the Series 90's.
Considered to be technically superior to their predecessors, these sleek models offered luxurious features that were incomparable on other vehicles.
All-steel passenger compartment tops that were fashioned from GM's Turret Top design, all improved hydraulic safety-braking system, adapted engine colling system, imroved front suspension and alloy engine pistons.
Achieving the lowest sales of Buick's entire model range, the Limited was an aptly appropriate title for the most prestigious of vehicles that were unfortunately limited to Touring sedans and limousines. In 1936 when production of the Series 90 began, sales reached 4,086, and by 1943 during a abreviated model year from September 1941 until January 1942, sales had plunged to 636 units sold.
The wheel base was stretched to 140' in 1938, and the wooden structural members were replaced with steel. This made the Limited and the Roadmaster the final Buick passenger cars that would rely on wood components.
A substantial redesign was occuring in Buick automobiles during 1938, however the Limited retained in 1938 body based on its 'limited' status.
Cadillac exuctives were clamouring behind the scenes to remove the Limited from the market as it was infringing on their production. The Limited was priced at the nearly the same amount as the Imperial Sedan (limousine) produced by Cadillac.
The Limited's four-door hardtop sedan began at a base price of $5,112 which was $221 higher than Cadillac's extended deck Series Sixty-two four-door hardtop sedan.
However, Buick argued that the Limited production barely averaged 1,561 vehicles per year compared to Cadillac's production rate of 13,335 for the Series Sixty-two.
The Limited continued to by produced until the beginning of World War II. Following the War, the Limited nameplate was dropped along with the extended wheelbase models.
In 1958, the Limited series was resureccted in as the Ultimate Buick for the model year.
General Motors chose to update their 1957 Buick and Oldsmobile automobiles by decorating them in copious amounts of chrome. Featuring Buick's 'Dynastar' grille, the Buick Limited reflected the maximum amount of light with it a cast of 158 chrome squares.
Additional features were also added to the 1957 model included three emblems that bore a stylized 'V'. A medallion was placed on the hood, and the other two were placed as gun-sight fender-toppers. Quad headlights were added, along with broad chrome panels attached to the rear quarter panels that joined the sweep-spear side trim that had been a styling standard on Buick models since 1949. Truck lids also receivevd two chrome grips along with tail lights that were housed in massive chrome housings.
At the end of the 1958 model year, Buick dropped the Limited nameplate and replaced the vehicle with the Buick Electra 225.
In 1965 the Limited name resurfaced as a trim option for the Electra 225 Custome model as well as trim options for several other models for the year.
Buick continued to designate various models with the highest level of trim 'Limited' in a model range that continued until 2006.

Software quality assurance (SQA) engineers are in charge of controlling standards in the software developing process. They carefully plan product specifications and features, and they ensure applications are tested and ship without bugs or technical glitches. Among their main responsibilities, SQA engineers manage software performance and stress-test code to improve reliability. They keep logs of every trial instance for future team reference. Further, they track fixes and adjust development cycle time frame.Read More...
SQA engineers' main tools consist of a personal computer using a variety of applications for quality assurance. As a result, they actively participate in the interoperability testing of hardware and their respective application code. They review company objective goals and review parameters to reach them in a timely manner. They also manage code problems in a bug-tracking system for increased productivity. Additionally, SQA engineers execute software packages in different system environments to test for functionality problems before release.
This position typically requires a bachelor's of engineering in information technology; additional years of experience in a related position and quality control certifications are a plus. They must have strong analytical and problem-solving skills. In addition, they should have advance proficiency in several operating systems and programming languages. They also should be familiar with the implementation of testing techniques and metrics.
SQA engineers must have superior communication skills, and be able to multitask effectively, as needed. They are required to be efficient team players as other teams within their organization need their input and support.

Software Quality Assurance Engineers who go on to become Software Quality Assurance Managers may see their salaries climb quite a bit. Median pay for Software Quality Assurance Managers is $103K annually. The most common next step for a Software Quality Assurance Engineer is to become a Quality Assurance Engineer, or a Test Automation Engineer. The former position pays an additional $10K per year on average, and the latter position pays $15K more per year.
Heading up the field in terms of compensation, Cisco Systems Inc offers the most; Software Quality Assurance Engineers earn $124K on average there.
Software Quality Assurance Engineers seem to exploit a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Python, Linux, UNIX, and Test Planning are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 6 percent and 15 percent. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include HTML, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft SQL Server. Those proficient in Java are, more often than not, also skilled in Test Automation and Microsoft Word. Most people familiar with SQL also know Microsoft Word and Test Automation.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Software Quality Assurance Engineers with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. The average beginner in this position makes around $66K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $78K. On average, Software Quality Assurance Engineers make $85K following one to two decades on the job. Veterans who have worked for more than two decades do tend to make the most in the end; the median pay for this group is $98K.
For those looking to make money, Software Quality Assurance Engineers in Cupertino enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 49 percent above the national average. Software Quality Assurance Engineers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Mountain View (+35 percent), San Jose (+25 percent), Seattle (+20 percent), and Sunnyvale (+19 percent). The smallest paychecks in the market, 16 percent south of the national average, can be found in Atlanta. Employers pay around 13 percent less in Austin and 10 percent less in Irvine, below-median salaries for those in this field.

British drivers' tastes for the latest, fuel-efficient vehicles helped new car sales increase for the 28th month in a row in June, industry figures reveal.
According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) a total of 228,291 new cars were registered last month, 6.2% more than in the same month last year.
It means more than 1.28 million cars have been sold at the halfway point of 2014, a tenth more than between January and the end of June in 2013.
The Ford Fiesta continues to be the best seller, followed by the Vauxhall Corsa, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra.
The SMMT says 23,337 cars fuelled by alternative means have been sold in the first six months of the year - more than double (51.3%) the same point in 2013.
It now predicts that the number of new car registrations in the whole of 2014 will top 2.4 million; a figure 6% higher than last year's total.
The improving economy has help the car industry record particularly strong figures in the first half of the year, SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes says.
He says an excellent March for the industry preceded an even better than expected three-month period and the increasing fuel efficiency of vehicles is having a positive effect on sales.

Alternative splicing of transcription factors in plant responses to low temperature stress: mechanisms and functions

Transcription factors play a central role in the gene regulatory networks that mediate various aspects of plant developmental processes and responses to environmental changes. Therefore, their activities are elaborately regulated at multiple steps. In particular, accumulating evidence illustrates that post-transcriptional control of mRNA metabolism is a key molecular scheme that modulates the transcription factor activities in plant responses to temperature fluctuations. Transcription factors have a modular structure consisting of distinct protein domains essential for DNA binding, dimerization, and transcriptional regulation. Alternative splicing produces multiple proteins having different structural domain compositions from a single transcription factor gene. Recent studies have shown that alternative splicing of some transcription factor genes generates small interfering peptides (siPEPs) that negatively regulate the target transcription factors via peptide interference (PEPi), constituting self-regulatory circuits in plant cold stress response. A number of splicing factors, which are involved in RNA binding, splice site selection, and spliceosome assembly, are also affected by temperature fluctuations, supporting the close association of alternative splicing of transcription factors with plant responses to low temperatures. In this review, we summarize recent progress on the temperature-responsive alternative splicing of transcription factors in plants with emphasis on the siPEP-mediated PEPi mechanism.

In the CorvetteBlogger.com Garage: A 2010 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible
Chevy's all-star PR guy Adam Denison was kind enough to hook us up with a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport for a week and it was delivered around 12 noon today. Over the next week I'll be providing a series of posts relating to Grand Sports as well as the various ins and outs of this beautiful Torch Red Corvette.
First, some quick details about the Corvette Grand Sport parked in our garage. It's Torch Red with a Dark Titanium interior. Coupled to the 436 hp V8 is a 6-speed paddle shift automatic as well as the optional dual mode exhaust. The Corvette features the 4LT Premium Equipment Group and it also comes with has the optional Grand Sport Heritage Package. The base price according to the provided window sticker is $55,580 and with all the options and delivery charge, the total price is $76,885.00.
I would have more photos, but my wife has already absconded in the Corvette and frankly I'm not expecting her to return anytime soon. She just called a few minutes ago asking how to turn it off. 😉

OK, at first I was really jealous, but then reading about your wife's phone call made me chuckle. Tell her she saved you from a really snarky post.
Always enjoy your stuff. I know you have a sweet '66 roadster. I must say thugh I lve our '08 CRM roadster. Drive it like you stle it!
Thanks 08 Shotgun
I love my midyear but have quickly become a huge fan of the C6. I'd drive one every day if I could! Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment!

Interpersonal communication in health and social care services is by its nature diverse. As a consequence, achieving good or effective communication whether between service providers and service users, or among those working in a service means taking account of diversity, rather than assuming that every interaction will be the same. This free course, Diversity and difference in communication, explores the ways in which difference and diversity impact on the nature of communication in health and social care services.
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of competing perspectives on issues of communication, difference and diversity;
- Demonstrate an understanding of the ways in which issues of ethnicity, gender and disability impact on interpersonal communication in care services;
- Apply ideas about communication and difference to everyday interactions in health and social care contexts;
- Analyse the ways in which ideas about difference can both reflect and reproduce inequalities between groups in the context of care services;
- Identify strategies for working with difference and diversity in the context of challenging discrimination in health and social care contexts.

Last week during our stay in Bethesda, we happened upon this restaurant near our hotel. We were not disappointed! We were treated to a delicious dinner: manicotti with a delightfully light spinach-ricotta filling for me, and pappardelle wi th a tasty meat sauce for my husband.
The experience was so positive that we returned the very next night for an encore. This time, we enjoyed veal piccata and pasta with squid.
Without a doubt, the two nights' offerings were food for both body and soul, reminiscent of our family's Italian cuisine enjoyed in years past.

Sorry for the late reply and you welcome I really admire your work and I want to see my work and tell me what you think about them
love it
well done
pretty sweet bro
Not quite a wyvern, reminds me more of a lindworm. Cool painting regardless.
isn't a lindwurm and a wyvern technicaly the same thing? Am I missing something?
Not quite, though there's sometimes some bleedover as mythology isn't always consistent. But a wyvern is specifically a dragon with only wings and hindlegs, sometimes having a barbed tail. A lindworm is usually serpentine, like this, with forearms and occasionally wings. The difference being, wyverns have hindlegs and aren't usually serpentine, while lindworms have forearms, like this guy here.
woah such a great artwork

text: Any of you who have dropped your landline and saved? Usually it's a break even, but I'd like the convenience of being able to leave the house with a cell phone. Never owned one before. What I'd really like to know is if anyone connects to the web via their mobile web service. I live in west Michigan and pay about 130 dollars for unlimited long distance landline phone, cable internet, and HD cable television (with pretty much no on demand content to speak of unless I opt for more expensive packages). 80 percent of the television content is unmitigated crap and filler. And the extra remote (there are three of them now to control the blu-ray player, television, and cable box) and Charter GUI is a nightmare of bizarrely unintuitive hurdles. That price is a bargain compared to a lot of monthly bills I hear about. But I'm a pretty boring guy and really, really, miss simplicity. I don't watch a lot of television but it's a 50" plasma and I definitely like HDTV occasional sports and quality movies when I watch them. I have the 7.99 netflix package which serves me ok. I don't own a cell phone and have no real interest in learning how to text message or send photos via phone. I never use more than (guessing) 400 minutes a month of phone service on my landline. www.tvfool.com OTA signal calculator indicates that I'm a very good candidate for getting all major HD OTA broadcasts as well as public television out of the Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo area. I just ordered a 50 dollar AntennaCraft (after lots of research) antenna from Amazon. Gonna put it 10 above my roofline and paint it to blend in with the trees. I should (I'll let you know in a week if anyone is interested) get 10 to 13 channels, about 6 of them HD, reliably. I program these into my favorites via remote. I'm back to surfing 12 channels. Bliss. I connect a powerful HP workstation PC to the television via a 25ft (under floor) HDMI already, so I'm discovering a whole world of interesting documentaries, public domain films, etc. Cutting TV service saves sixty dollars each month on my Charter bill. That leaves me 70 dollars per month to find cell phone service with a reasonably fast (even 500 to 1000K is fine) internet access via laptop usb connection to the phone's mini usb. Not all phones allow this. Not all plans provide it. The guy at Best Buy yesterday claimed he didn't know what I was talking about and never heard of USB connecting a PC to the web via cell phone. Google suggests otherwise. This is equal parts being a cheap bastard, wanting to simplify my life, and appreciating the convenience of having a mobile phone to carry with me for emergencies. Anyone have experience here?

Lo will not put her legs out to the side and if I try to move them she screams like I'm hurting her. I don't even know if she's big enough to have her legs out both sides, and they end up hanging out the bottom which seems really unsafe.

CompuClaim, a provider of school-based Medicaid billing solutions, has joined the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) program of Pearson's K-12 Technology group.
MeduClaim is CompuClaim's automated, Web-based Medicaid billing portal that enables school administrators to manage their school-based Medicaid billing programs. With this partnership, Pearson will be able to provide schools with access to MeduClaim through its PowerSchool student information system. According to Peter Carson, president and founder of CompuClaim, the partnership will provide schools with "more control of their data and Medicaid billing programs."
MeduClaim connects to any individualized education program (IEP) system or Medicaid agency in any state. It handles eligibility verification and claims processing, and the company claims it enables schools to save 50 to 70 percent on their current vendor and processing costs while increasing compliance. It also includes a Web-based service logging module that enables service providers to keep track of the services they provide to IEP students. Because MeduClaim is Web-based, no software or hardware installation is required.
"By providing this innovative software service to our customers, we are helping them simplify their existing school based Medicaid systems while reducing processing costs significantly," said Oliver Wreford, director of business development for Pearson's K-12 Technology group, in a prepared statement.
Further information about Pearson PowerSchool is available at pearsonschoolsystems.com. Go to compuclaim-ri.com to learn more about MeduClaim.

I will never buy anything else. It it made so well. Installs like a dream. When you pull it down, it feel like it cost 500 dollars. There is nothing better. And on top of that, it diffuses the sunlight but does not block out the window. If you can't guess.....I love it.View this product

Efficient versus inefficient hedging strategies in the presence of financial and longevity (value at) risk
This paper provides a closed-form Value-at-Risk (VaR) for the net exposure of an annuity provider, taking into account both mortality and interest-rate risk, on both assets and liabilities. It builds a classical risk- return frontier and shows that hedging strategies - such as the transfer of longevity risk - may increase the overall risk while decreasing expected returns, thus resulting in inefficient outcomes. Once calibrated to the 2010 UK longevity and bond market, the model gives conditions under which hedging policies become inefficient.

ReviewsHalfords Advanced Seville 15 Inch Wheel Trims - Set of 4 7 7Great value facelift I'd lost one of my wheel trims. It was a choice of whether to buy a matching, and expensive, one, or to replace all the trims. I looked at Halfords' site and chose the Advanced Seville as being most suitable for my car. Reservation process was fine, and I collected in store. The decent quality trims were easy to fit, and fit securely (no need for the tacky plastic ties that so many trims seem to require), and have given my car a new lease of life. Very pleased indeed. 20 September 2011really good purchase excellent product which looks good an enhances my car. A friend thought they were new alloys, need I say more. 16 May 2011Great Quality Wheel Trims Bought cheap wheel trims on Amazon that were really poor quality. I returned them and bought these Halfords wheel trims for not a lot more money. What a difference in quality for a few pounds more. Excellent value, and they look great on my Citroen Picasso. 27 January 2011better quality than OEM reserve and collect is a very good efficient system 11 August 2010nice style well worth the money and an relisic price for the wheel trims 05 June 2010Make the Care look Smarter I purchased these trims and after fitting can confidently say they were easy to fit and for the money made the care look instantly smarter again and restored it back to looking good 15 March 2010Halfords Advanced Seville Wheel Trims 15" - Set of Does exactly what it says on the box... 4 relatively inexpensive and decent quality, replacement wheel trims.

I am receiving a document that claims to be UTF-8 (
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>). I've had some problems in the past where the encoding declaration from the sender has not been all that reliable (i.e. documents are declared to have a given encoding when in fact they do not), so I try to check using http://utf8checker.codeplex.com/ According to this tool, a 0xF8 byte means that this document is not UTF-8 encoded.
However, to the contrary, this page lists the Norwegian character 'ø' as being represented in UTF-8 as 0xF8. (The page is in Norwegian, however, the data I am referring to stems from the table at the bottom of the page.)
Can anyone help me sort this out? I'm feeling rather confused here.
