Unfortunately you will not be able to progress with your application as we are not able to be flexible with dates.
For candidates
Have a look at what's available on our Job Search & Apply page. If you don't see a role that fits your talents, you can register a general profile and let us know which areas of ITV you're interested in. Or you can apply for one of our talent pools.
Keep it simple, concise, easy to read and focused on selling your skills. The challenge is to do all that while making it more appealing and attractive than the rest. Avoid wacky layouts or fancy gimmicks – the most important thing is that it looks professional and clear. And, above all, it should be completely accurate with no grammatical errors, spelling mistakes or typos.
Presentation and order is important so that we can absorb key points quickly. This brings us on to length. Even for the most senior individual, a CV should be no longer than two pages. In fact, the fewer the better. So you should think carefully about the words and phrases you use.
You should also consider the typeface, colour, headings, capital letters and positioning. We're not going to be prescriptive about this as, ultimately, it's down to your personal taste. Just make sure it looks clear and professional, and that it won't distort when viewed on a variety of software platforms.
A survey conducted by CMC career management consultants in 2008 found that:
- 88% of employers prefer to see a short profile or summary on page one of a CV.
- 85% of employers do NOT want a photograph with a CV.
- Of those who expressed a view, 96% dislike CVs written by professional CV writing services.
- Two thirds of HR specialists believe that a CV should be no more than two pages long.
You should take all this on board when you're putting your CV together. We also recommend that you fully research and understand the role before applying. And obviously, you should only apply for positions that you meet the minimum requirements for. In short, you need to make sure you're fully committed and qualified before submitting an application.
Unfortunately, our system does not allow candidates to upload show reels. But if you can provide a web link to your reel or site, we'd love to see it. Alternatively, when the Recruitment or Talent Team review your CV or application, they may ask you to send it through direct to them.
This does tend to vary according to the role but in general it's a minimum two-stage process. We'll review your experience, a range of competencies and if it's relevant we'll also ask you to prepare some form of exercise or presentation at either the first or second stage. For some roles, we'll ask candidates selected for interview to complete a variety of tests. These could include verbal and numerical reasoning or an Occupational Personality Questionnaire.
Yes, but please make sure that they are all positions you have the experience and skills to do – and do well.
Of course we'll let you know when we receive your application. And if you make it through to the interview stage, we'll contact you personally.
If you're not quite right for a position, we'll send you an email to let you know you've not got through to the interview this time.
It depends where you were in the process. We're able to give feedback after interviews, but not after the CV screening stage – the high number of applications we receive means that, unfortunately, we just can't get back to everyone.
Yes, you can. If you go to our Job Search & Apply page, you can register your profile, upload your CV and tell us what kind of jobs you're interested in. You can also sign up for email alerts so you know when the right position comes along.
We'll be searching our talent bank whenever a vacancy comes up as well. So if we feel your experience matches what we're looking for, we'll give you a call.
We usually find these types of issues are related to running an older version of web browsers. For optimum performance on our site, we recommend that you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0 upwards or Mozilla Firefox version 3.0 upwards.
You can check the version of your web browser by clicking on "Help" from the dropdown menu at the top of the screen and then clicking on the "About " option. The version is displayed in the popup window.
If you are running an older unsupported web browser version, you can download later supported versions of Internet Explorer or Firefox from the links below:
Get Internet Explorer 8
Get Mozilla Firefox
If you are still experiencing issues, to help us look into your issue, please could you take a "screenshot" (you can take a screenshot of any error messages that you encounter by holding down the Ctrl + Print Screen keys simultaneously on your keyboard and then paste this into the body of an email) and email this to us at firstname.lastname@example.com
For agencies
Predominantly not. We have our own direct sourcing team. So for permanent and fixed-term vacancies we use a variety of sources to find suitable candidates ourselves.
On the very rare occasion that we do need to work with an agency, we work with people who have a strong track record of success with ITV. At the moment we're not looking to make any changes to that list.
Sorry, no we don't. And if you do send in CVs we won't acknowledge your ownership of the candidate. This includes if you send them through to an ITV employee.
This is a tough one. We understand your desire to work with us, but we're inundated with enquiries. Please watch this space and we'll let you know when the list is up for review.
Or you can always email your details to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We're going to be completely honest and say that really we would prefer it if you didn't. We'll get in touch with you.
However, if you do decide to contact us, email is best. Please use the address given above and do be aware that you may not get a response. As you'd expect, both line managers and individual members of the recruitment team are extremely busy, so we'd appreciate you taking note of this. It means we can get on with our work and, if we do decide to take you up on your offer, our relationship will get off to the best possible start.

This invention relates to printing systems and methods and, more particularly, to systems and methods for canceling torque disturbance in devices using an endless belt.
Any discussion of the related art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such related art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.
Conventional printing machines often include a photoreceptor belt driven in a cyclical manner by a motor. The motor is typically controlled by a closed-loop feedback controller, such as a proportional-integral-differential controller. The closed-loop controller strives to achieve a desired belt velocity by incorporating feedback from operation of the machine. As shown by the jagged line in
In conventional machines having an endless belt, that is, a belt having two ends joined together to form a seam, the seam may cause undesirable errors, for example, a torque disturbance outside the bandwidth of the closed-loop system. For example, the operational frequency of the controller may not be adequate to timely detect and resolve the errors resulting from the seam. Instead the controller is late to correct the actual torque disturbance 420 (
Some printing systems, for example, color printing systems benefit from higher degrees of accuracy due to the overlaying of different colored images over one another. Accordingly, it may be desirable to provide systems and method for reducing torque disturbance in devices having an endless belt, for example, printing systems.
According to various aspects of the invention, a system for reducing torque disturbance may include a motor mechanically coupled to an endless belt. The motor may be operable to drive the belt, and the belt may have a seam that causes a torque disturbance to the system. The system may include a data structure having a set of values that indicates an amount of compensation for reducing the torque disturbance and a controller electrically coupled with the motor. The controller may be configured to control the motor and reduce the torque disturbance based on the set of values in the data structure.
In accordance with various aspects of the invention, a method for reducing torque disturbance may include controllably operating a motor to drive an endless belt in a cyclical manner, determining when a seam of the belt is expected cause a torque disturbance in a system, determining an amount of compensation for reducing the torque disturbance, and controllably operating the motor based on the amount of compensation to reduce the torque disturbance.
According to various aspects of the invention, a printing system may include a belt having two ends joined together to form a seam, a motor mechanically coupled to the belt, and an acoustic transfer assist device configured to transfer an image from the belt to a medium. The motor may be operable to drive the belt, and the assist device may include a vacuum source for drawing the belt toward the assist device. The vacuum source and the seam may cooperate to cause a torque disturbance to the system. The system may include a data structure having a set of values that indicates an amount of compensation for reducing the torque disturbance caused by the seam and a controller electrically coupled with the motor. The controller may be configured to control the motor and reduce the torque disturbance based on the set of values in the data structure.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of the specification, illustrate various aspects of the present invention and, together with the description, describe those various aspects. Throughout the drawings, like numbers are used to represent like parts.
The following detailed description is provided to facilitate an understanding of some of the innovative features unique to the present invention. A full appreciation of the various aspects of the invention can only be gained by taking the entire specification, claims, drawings, and abstract as a whole.
Referring to the drawings and in particular to
The printing machine 10 uses a charge retentive member or imaging member in the form of a photoreceptor belt 12, which travels sequentially through various process stations in the direction indicated by the arrow 13. Belt travel may be achieved by mounting the belt 12 about a drive roller 14 and two tension rollers 16 and 18 and then rotating the drive roller 14 via a drive motor 20.
As the photoreceptor belt 12 moves, each part of it passes through each of the subsequently described process stations. For convenience, a single section of the photoreceptor belt, referred to as the image area, is identified. The image area is the part of the photoreceptor belt which is to receive a toner powder image which, after being transferred to a substrate such as a sheet of paper, produces the final image. It should be appreciated that the photoreceptor belt may have a plurality of image areas, depending on the length of the belt and the size of the images.
As the photoreceptor belt 12 moves, the image area passes through a charging station A. A corona generating device 22 charges the image area to a relatively high and substantially uniform potential at the charging station A. The corona generating device 22 is powered by a high voltage power supply (HVPS).
After passing through the charging station A, the now charged image area passes through an exposure station B. At exposure station B, the charged image area is exposed to light, which illuminates the image area with a light representation of an image. The light representation discharges some parts of the image area so as to create an electrostatic latent image. While the illustrated embodiment uses a laser based output scanning device 24 or raster output scanner (ROS) as a light source, it is to be understood that other light sources, for example an LED printbar, can also be used with the principles of the present invention. It should also be appreciated that the present invention may be practiced in a light lens machine in which an image is formed by passing light through an original document to expose the photoconductive surface.
After passing through the exposure station B, the now exposed image area passes through a development station C. The development station C deposits an image of negatively charged toner 26 onto the image area. The toner is attracted to the less negative sections of the image area and repelled by the more negative sections. The result is a toner powder image on the image area.
The development station C incorporates a donor roll 27 in a development system 28. An electrode grid 30 is electrically biased with an AC voltage relative to the donor roll 27 for the purpose of detaching toner therefrom so as to form a toner powder cloud in the gap between the donor roll 27 and the photoreceptor belt 12. Both the electrode grid 30 and the donor roll 27 are biased at a DC potential for discharge area development (DAD). The discharged photoreceptor image attracts toner particles from the toner powder cloud to form a toner powder image thereon.
Thereafter, the toner powder image is advanced past a corotron member 34 to a transfer station D. At the transfer station D, the toner powder image is transferred from the image area onto a support sheet 36 (e.g. a sheet of paper, a transparency, or any other member adapted to receive marking particles thereon). It should be understood that the sheet 36 is advanced onto the photoreceptor belt 12 by a conventional sheet feeding apparatus schematically shown by reference numeral 39. The sheet then advances through the transfer station D in the direction of arrow 38. The transfer station D includes a transfer assist blade system 41 which is operable to apply uniform contact pressure to the sheet 36 as the sheet is advanced onto the photoreceptor belt 12 by the sheet feeding apparatus 39. In particular, as the sheet is being advanced onto the photoreceptor belt 12, a transfer assist blade (not shown) of the transfer assist blade system 41 presses the sheet 36 into contact with the toner powder image on the photoreceptor belt 12 thereby substantially eliminating any spaces between the sheet 36 and the toner powder image. One exemplary transfer assist blade system which may be used with the present invention is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,300,993 issued to Vetromile, the disclosure of which is totally incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The transfer station D further includes a transfer corona device 40 which sprays positive ions onto the sheet 36. Also, at transfer station D, an acoustic transfer assist (ATA) system 44 is operable to impart vibrations to the photoreceptor belt 12 during operation of the corona device 40. Operation of these devices 40, 44 cause the negatively charged toner powder image to move onto the sheet 36. Positioned downstream relative to the transfer corona device 40 is a detack corona device 42 which facilitates removal of the sheet 36 from the photoreceptor belt 12.
After being advanced through the transfer station D, the sheet 36 moves onto a conveyor (not shown) which advances the sheet to a fusing station E. The fusing station E includes a fuser assembly 46 which is operable to permanently affix the transferred powder image to the sheet 36. Preferably, the fuser assembly 46 includes a heated fuser roller 48 and a backup or pressure roller 50. When the sheet 36 passes between the fuser roller 48 and the backup roller 50, the toner powder is permanently affixed to the sheet 36. After fusing, a chute 52 guides the sheet 36 to a catch tray 54 for removal by an operator.
After the sheet 36 has separated from the photoreceptor belt 12, the image area is advanced toward a cleaning station F. Upon arrival at the cleaning station F, residual toner particles on the image area are removed via a cleaning brush 58 located at the cleaning station F. The image area is then ready to begin a new marking cycle.
The various machine functions described above are generally managed and regulated by a controller 74 which provides electrical command signals for controlling the operations described above. The controller 74 may be any conventional controller, for example, a closed-loop feedback controller, such a proportional-integral-differential controller or the like. The controller 74 may control the operations based on various information, for example, velocity and position information relating to the photoreceptor belt 12. Such information about the photoreceptor belt 12 may be provided by an encoder 76, for example, an optical encoder, associated with, for example, one of the tension rollers 16, 18, the drive roller 14, or the motor 20.
Turning now to
As shown in
Referring now to
A reference signal is combined with system feedback from the encoder 76 at summation point 350. Based on the output of summation point 350, the closed loop compensator 374 determines an appropriate signal for controlling the motor 20. During portions of the operation of the printing machine 10, the photoreceptor belt 12 does not cause significant torque disturbance 380 in the system 300. However, when the seam 15 of the photoreceptor belt 12 is near the acoustic assist device opening 92, a brief loss of the vacuum force on the belt may occur, causing an undesirable amount of torque disturbance 380 to the system 300.
When the controller 74 determines that the torque disturbance is expected to occur, the controller 74 can control the motor 20 with a compensation amount determined from a data structure 360. The data structure 360 may comprise a lookup table, a mathematical algorithm, or a combination thereof. The compensation amount may be retrieved from a lookup table or determined by a mathematical algorithm. The compensation amount from the data structure 360 may be adjusted via gain factor 378 and may be combined with the output of the closed loop compensator 374 at summation point 370. It should be appreciated that during operation of the printing machine 10 when the seam 15 is not at the opening 92 of the acoustic assist device 44, the system 300 operates as a conventional closed-loop feedback system.
As shown in
An exemplary operation 500 of the exemplary aspects described above with respect to
In stage S515, the controller 74 determines whether the position marker 414 is detected. If the position marker 414 is not detected, control returns to stage S510, where the sensor continues to attempt to detect the position marker 414. If the position marker 414 is detected, control continues to stage S520, where the controller 74 begins counting encoder pulses. Control continues to stage S525.
Then, in stage S525, the controller 74 determines whether the torque disturbance is expected to occur at the present time. The controller 74 can make this determination because the number of encoder pulses between the time the position marker is detected and the expected time of the torque disturbance are substantially known. Control continues to stage S530.
Next, in stage S530, if it is determined that the torque disturbance is not expected to occur at the present time, control returns to stage S520, where the controller 74 continues to count encoder pulses and determine whether the torque disturbance is expected to occur (S525). If, in stage S530, it is determined that the torque disturbance is expected to occur, control continues to stage S535.
In stage S535, the controller 74 controls the motor 20 with a compensation amount for reducing the torque disturbance. The compensation amount may be retrieved from a lookup table or determined by a mathematical algorithm. Control continues to stage S540.
Then, in stage S540, the controller 74 determines whether the expected end of the torque disturbance is reached, and control continues to stage S545. In stage S545, if it is determined that the expected end of the torque disturbance has not been reached, control returns to stage S535, where the controller 74 controls the motor 20 with a compensation amount for reducing the torque disturbance.
If, in stage S545, it is determined that the expected end of the torque disturbance has been reached, control continues to stage S550. In stage S550, the controller 74 may determine whether the reduction of the torque disturbance is satisfactory. The controller 74 may make this determination by timing the period between the encoder pulse where the torque disturbance is expected to begin and the encoder pulse where the torque disturbance is expected to end, that is, the period during which stage S535 is executed. Control then continues to stage S555.
If, in stage S555, it is determined that the reduction of the torque disturbance is satisfactory, control continues to stage S510, where the controller 74 awaits another detection of the belt position marker 414. If, in stage S555 it is determined that the reduction of the torque disturbance is not satisfactory (either too much or too little), control continues to stage S560. In stage S560, the controller 74 may adjust the gain factor 378 for further operations 500. Control then continues to stage S510, where the process is repeated beginning with stage S510.
The novel features of the present invention will become apparent to those of skill in the art upon examination of the disclosure or can be learned by practice of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description of the invention and the specific examples presented, while indicating certain embodiments of the present invention, are provided for illustration purposes only, because various changes and modifications will become apparent to those of skill in the art from this disclosure.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
What if I'm not breastfeeding? Can I make my milk go away?
If you don't breastfeed, your body will stop making milk. (That's just how it works.) You'll have to go through the engorgement phase first. It will probably hurt, but it shouldn't last more than a day or two. At this time, some moms swear by doubled-up sports bras and other boobie-restricting clothes. Ice packs and pain relievers might help too. Once your breasts have deflated, they might still leak for a few days before drying up.
Plus, more from The Bump:

Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri addressed a spiritual gathering held at the central secretariat to mark the Shab-e-Barat event through video link. Thousands of people from various walks of life including religious scholars attended the spiritual gathering. Dr Qadri said that in order to be deserving of Allah's help, the Muslim Umma should speak truth, do justice and stand by the oppressed. He said that those who take the lives of innocent people remain deprived of the spiritual blessings on the blessed occasion of Shab-e-Barat.
Minhaj ul Quran Women League, Haripur arranged an "Organizational Training Workshop" on 14th May. Mrs. Gulshan Irshad addressed the participants and emphasized on the constitution of a strong team and strong network. Ms. Anila Ilyas explained working and aim of "Zarb-e-Amn campaign". Miss Aisha Qadri also shared her views regarding the organizational work with the team members. These training workshops are part of the peace initiative Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri launched to promote peace and harmony in the society.
A delegation of PAT led by senior leader Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri called on former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani at his residence in Lahore and congratulated him on behalf of Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri and the party on the safe return of his abducted son. Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Khawaja Amir Fareed Koreja, Noorullah Saddiqi, Fayyaz Warraich, Raja Zahid, and Qazi Faiz-ul-Islam were other members of the delegation. Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani and his son Ali Haider Gillani thanked the PAT leaders for coming to visit them. Matters relating to Panama leaks and the current political situation of the country came under discussion during the meeting. Dr Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri invited the former Prime Minister to attend the Martyr's Day ceremony on June 17.
The 12th annual mass marriage ceremony was held in the playground in front of the MQI secretariat on April 3, 2016. Twenty-five Muslim, Christian and Hindu couples tied the knot in the ceremony. Necessary household items of worth Rs. 1.5 lacs were gifted to every bride. The proceedings of the mass marriage ceremony got underway with the recitation of the holy Quran followed by Naat.
Minhaj-ul-Quran Victoria organised the Night of Salvation this evening at Mount Cottrell which was attended by hundreds of members of the community. Dr Hussain Qadri explained the stages and procedure and several dimensions of repentance. He said that repentance is the true migration towards Allah and that the 15th of Sha`ban is the night to repent collectively for all the sins man has committed. He also led the collective Duaa which was very emotional and resulted in participants shedding tears as the Duaa extended.

- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 cup squash puree, (see Tip)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, allspice and cloves in a medium bowl until combined.
- Beat squash puree, sugar, honey and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in egg and egg white. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until combined. Scrape into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake the bread until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes more. Serve warm.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Tightly wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 6 months. Unwrap and thaw on a wire rack at room temperature for 4 hours.
- Tip: To make your own squash puree, halve and seed one medium acorn or butternut squash. Place, cut-side down, on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until soft, about 50 minutes. Cool, then scrape out the flesh with a fork. Or simply use frozen (thawed) or canned squash puree. Find frozen squash puree near other vegetables in the freezer section and canned squash near the canned pumpkin.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Cottage Magic Box - 3D Printed in only 2 Parts. http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60290&th=12431#msg_60290 <![CDATA[Hi everyone,
 Just thought you might all like to see our latest creation for a fellow shapeways member. Its a 3D Printed cottage, made in only two parts. This cottage was to explore the possibilities of printing a fully mechanical moving part object in a single print. The base of the cottage has 3 built in moving parts which all printed at the same time. We are currently updating the model but thought it might be of interest to some of you to see whats possible. I have attached a few images here but our full set of images including the video which shows the whole assembly come to live can be found on our Flickr page here:

 INNER | LEAF: Technical - Cottage http://flic.kr/s/aHsjDD7ctA

 The Assembled Cottage

 Step 1: Twist the Chimney Pot which unlocks the chimney from the lid.

 Step 2: Slide the Chimney Up which unlocks it from the base and then rotate the base.

 Step 3: Slide the chimney down which unlocks the second chimney fixing from the lid.

 Step 4: And finally slid the lid off to expose the inner storage space.

 Hope you like it. 3D Printing is the only known technology where this kind of process is possible. Printing moving parts within other parts without the need to post fix elements together. Its limited by the 0.5mm separation needed between surfaces in order to stop adjoining faces fusing together but we hope that this will be seen more and more in the 3D Printing world as its truly amazing. Well we think so. Please feel free to ask any questions.

 Adam @ INNER | LEAF

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

She says that she makes a living by providing milling service (this serves to grind cooked corn to turn it into flour). She now has ten years of experience, and decided to do this work because the service didn't exist in her community. So far it's been quite profitable in terms of generating income and earnings.
She has now realized that this business is quite productive, so she has made the decision to form a group to start new businesses that help the families of the group members, with the intention of improving their finances. She will use the loan to buy corn and tools for maintenance.
Her dream is to buy another mill so it can generate more income for her and also improve the service to her customers.
Ella comenta que se dedica al servicio de molino (sirve para moler el maíz cosido para convertirlo en masa). Ahora cuenta con diez años de experiencia, decidió obtar por esta labor ya que en su comunidad no había, hasta la fecha es bastante rentable en cuanto a la generación de ingresos y ganancias.
Ahora ella se ha dado cuenta que este negocio es bastante productivo, por lo que ha tomado la decisión de formar un grupo para emprender nuevos negocios que ayuden a las familias de los miembros de su grupo, con la intención de mejorar su economía. El préstamo lo utilizaran para la compra de maíz y utensilios de mantenimiento.
Su sueño es comprar otro molino para que le genere otro ingreso, como también mejorar el servicio a sus clientes.
Additional Information
About ADICLAADICLA (Association for the Holistic Development of the Basin of Lake Atitlán) is nonprofit rural community development association that provides small loans and services to improve quality of life in two of the poorest regions of Guatemala, home to large indigenous populations. Kiva funding will be used to support three innovative credit initiatives: youth business loans, green loans, and smaller loans to help ADICLA move down-market and serve poorer clients.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Locational Competition – A Neglected Paradigm in the International Division of Labour
Krugman's verdict that competitiveness of countries is a largely meaningless concept is a serious misjudgement of the economics profession. Countries compete for the mobile factors of production, most importantly for capital and technology. The exit-option of these factors and of firms changes the calculus of national governments. This paper sets out the main elements of the concept of competition between locations - locational competition - and analyses its impact on welfare and employment of the capital-exporting country. It also looks at whether competition between countries necessarily results in a race to the bottom or whether it can function as a controlling mechanism for governments and as a discovery device. The paper discusses under which conditions common rules are needed to reduce transaction costs and to prevent strategic, opportunistic behaviour of countries and which common rules thus reduce transaction costs. Finally, it deals with the question whether one institutional equilibrium in the world economy can be expected or whether many national equilibriums can coexist.

Jill Craigie, the film director who made documentaries about British coal miners and a community's efforts to rebuild after World War II and the wife of former British Labour Party leader Michael Foot, died Dec. 13 at the Royal Free Hospital in London. She was 85.She had been ill for some time and suffered a fall last summer that exacerbated a heart condition. Craigie's two most acclaimed films were "The Way We Live," based on the effort of Plymouth residents in southern England to rebuild after the devastation of World War II, and "Blue Scar," about the everyday lives of miners during the 1940s. She based "Blue Scar" on a year she spent in Abergwynfi, a mining town in South Wales. A year after the film's success, she married Foot, an aspiring politician. She put aside her own career to support him. She is survived by her husband.

Variation: After the asparagus is drained, refresh immediately in a bowl of ice water. This will help the asparagus to retain the bright green color. Serve the asparagus cold with vinaigrette.
Its weird, but of all my recipes, my wife loves this one the most. My daughter described it as tasting "fresh". I've made this recipe many times
I used this recipe as a side dish with roast pork tenderloin to cook my mother a special dinner yesterday. She loved it and was pleasently surprised I knew how to make something so delicious and simple.I did'nt tell tell her her where I got the recipe. Let's just keep that between the two of us.

first of all congratulations about this website, I just found it ...guess....googling, hehe.
Secondly, sorry for my English since I´m Spanish.
My question is about a Prerouting rule which doesn´t work in my iptable script.
The rest of rules (input, output, forward...) work fine but not this ones:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth2 -p tcp --dport 25 -j DNAT --to 192.168.97.4:25
(eth2 is the interface attached to the internet )
I have to say I have my script begining with DROP, like this:
iptables -p INPUT DROP
iptables -p OUTPUT DROP
iptables -p FORWARD DROP
But I don´t have any sentence like:
iptables -P PREROUTING ACCEPT | DROP
iptables -L -n I don´t see any rule making possible the traffic to the port TCP 25 into my LAN, that makes me think something is wrong and in Wireshark I can see how the external MTA (gmail, et cetera) tries to connect with my Firewall but only gets a SYN Packet, three packets actually.
I´ve read I need a postrouting rule for this specific port (25) but I have this rule with postrouting, which seems to me enoguh, but not sure because I come from ISA Server and things work in a different way from a GUI:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.97.0/24 -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE
This rule I´ve just writen is (I think) the rule about NAT, so that the Linux server can be a NAT Server.

Leeds bottle thrower at Olympics "knew what he was doing"
A man from Leeds who got into the Olympic Stadium without a ticket then threw a beer bottle at competitors lining up for the men's 100m final has been found guilty of public disorder.
Ashley Gill-Webb, 34, suffers from bipolar affective disorder. He was suffering a "manic episode" when he used an old ticket to get into the stadium, where he hurled abuse at Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt before throwing a plastic beer bottle on to the track on August 5.
Gill-Webb was today found guilty at Stratford Magistrates' Court of intending to cause 100m finalists harassment, alarm or distress by using threatening, abusive or disorderly behaviour.
His lawyers argued he could not have intended to cause distress, but the Crown said he knew what he was doing.

Holiday party clothes will sparkle and shine
When the holiday season rolls around, you can count on two constants: shine and sparkle.
That's true of party clothes as well as decorations.
"Shine has been such an element all fall and a natural to go into holidays," said Cindi Shelby, owner of Ruth Meyers in Nichols Hills Plaza.
It seems shine and sequins are making even more impact this year, if that's possible. Or maybe it's just because those accents look so good dressed up in modern silhouettes with interesting treatments.
DeDe Benham, co-owner of Balliets at Classen Curve, agreed that sheen, sparkle and glitz are everywhere. "There aren't any quiet fabrics. Everything's making a little noise. Nothing is sitting quietly in the corner."
Choices are plentiful, whether you go all-out glitz or opt for just a flash.
Metallic sequin cocktail dresses in an interesting shape or with dramatic back detail beg for a little New Year's Eve action. Satin blouses in hot hues add festive flair to a simple pair of leggings. A tweed pencil skirt laced with metallic threads is the perfect complement for a high-neck chiffon blouse or a sexy tank.
Making it special
With so many choices, Shelby said many women will be able to pull a daytime piece from their wardrobe, add a special top or bottom, along with a statement accessory, and suddenly that outfit takes on a holiday spin. A velvet jacket is a classic holiday look that can be worn with jeans or a pair of flowing trousers. Or go beyond classic and opt for a tuxedo jacket. Really, anything with lace, metallic, shine or sparkle will make the season bright.
"Just take day wear and dress it up with one fun item," Shelby said.
It's an easy way to dress when you want to look a little festive for that neighborhood gathering or a friend's holiday brunch, she said. And separates are versatile, so they can be changed up with no one the wiser.
Don't overlook a great cocktail dress, though, when you want to step out in style. The fabrics, prints and colors are stunning. Brocades, luxurious silks and satins, and metallic sequins lend a sophistication and glamour that's especially appealing right now. These dresses are attention-getters. They're not for those who want to sit in a corner all evening.
When it comes to color, oxblood, the hot hue this fall, reappears for holiday, along with gold and silver, rich shades of purple and forest green, and the ever-popular red.
"There hasn't been a lot of red for the holidays the past couple of years," Benham said. "It's bright red. No-mistaking red."
To complete your outfit, consider a fur collar or mini stole, either real or faux. It's a great way to wrap up the holiday fashion season.

I picked up a NOS 2003 Litespeed Tuscany for a decent price. It is New, built, but never ridden. It was not what I envisioned what I would be building, however sometimes the bike picks you rather than you picking the bike. As much as I wanted a new CF Wunder bike, I really needed a road bike that I could ride everyday with out worrying about scratching, or beating on it too hard. Something fast, that could get me to work in relative ease with out breaking a sweat, yet be more business than nonsense. So Basically it would be a glorified commuter bike if you will, yet more or less be my main Road Bicycle to ride rain or shine. From what I read about the Tuscany, it seems to fit the bill of what I was looking for, even though I had my heart set on a Colnago, (another time I suppose)
The Tuscany was in a size that was slightly larger than my corresponding bike fit (53-54cm) at 55cm. However with the integrated Headset, and typical Litespeed dropped top tube, it could be a comfortable bike with a slightly shorter stem that would fit for it's intended use. The top tube of the 55cm (seat tube) Tuscany is said to be 55cm, so based on what I know, my reach should be around 67cm with stem. That means a 120mm stem should fit the bill, however I'm thinking more 110mm'ish for a more upright fit.
I have not received the bike yet, however it should be here any-day now. Tracking number states it should be here this week. I know there are few Tuscany owners here so I would like your help.
- What is the Seat post Diameter of this frame?
- What is the Front Derailleur Clamp Diameter?
- I assume the bottom bracket is English Thread
- What would you have done differently on your Tuscany?
The fork that comes with it is a non Integrated, so it looks a bit strange. I have already ordered a Reynolds Ozo Pro Integrated with 40mm rake (spec'd for the 55cm Tuscany)

In today's society, school discipline problems are rising at an alarming rate. They are manifested in multiple ways from students answering back to the teacher, throwing away a test with a low grade in front of the entire class, to some very extreme situations such as raping a fellow student or using guns or other weapons. To teachers this is a threat that they live with daily. Yet, it is one of their most challenging endeavors as professionals to handle discipline problems effectively as well as to motivate students to learn. For FL educators this is no exception. These issues constitute one of the major fears for most FL interns and beginning teachers causing the attrition rate to escalate.
Seldom do FL students learn about class participation, motivation, and discipline in the FL methods course, nor do FL methods textbooks deal with these aspects. Instead, these issues are part of an education or psychology course where students review and analyze different theories, approaches, and techniques for classroom management, such as behaviorism, congnitivism, and humanism from a general point of view.
Considering the magnitude of these aspects, I include in this chapter a combination of theoretical and practical knowledge. Both the work of researchers and the experience of practicing FL teachers are brought together to provide FL interns with a comprehensive view of how to handle discipline situations and motivate students. By learning how experienced FL teachers handle these aspects, FL interns will be able to gain the practical knowledge needed to deal with their students with more confidence and a more solid preparation.
The theoretical portion is drawn from the research done by R. Gardner and W. E. Lambert, 1972; R. Gardner, 1985; and V. Cook, 1996. The prac-

An Aria of Terror from the Maestro of Horror - DARIO ARGENTO
When a young opera singer takes over the leading role in an avant-garde presentation of Verdi's Macbeth, she triggers the madness of a crazed fan who repeatedly forces the diva to watch the brutal murders of her friends. Will the woman's recurring nightmare hold the key to the identity of this psychopath or does an even more horrific evil lay waiting in the wings?
The legendary Dario Argento (DEEP RED, SUSPIRIA) co-wrote and directed this savagely stunning thriller featuring some of the most shocking sequences of the maestro's entire career. Previously available in the U.S. only in heavily edited form, this horror classic has now been restored from original Italian vault materials and is presented uncut, uncensored and loaded with Extras.

I have a Windows XP gaming Desktop with asus Mobo, sempron 2800+, 64mb video memory and 192mb RAM.I was playing GTA San Andreas on this system from past two weeks, without any problem. But the problem started day before yesterday.

I dint took that message seriously but since then whenever I try to start GTA, it appears for about 2 seconds and crashes. I tried restarting the system several times but nothing helped. Do you guys have any idea what has gone wrong and how can I fix this problem?
Many thanks.

SALEM, Ore. — A man sought for 17 years in a fatal traffic crash in Marion County has been returned to Oregon to face vehicular homicide charges after nearly a year in federal custody for entering the country illegally.
The Salem Statesman Journal reports that 38-year-old Jose Luis Sanchez was arrested by border patrol agents in Arizona in January.
The State Police say he was linked by fingerprints to a warrant for his arrest on the Oregon charges.
Troopers say that Aug. 7, 1995, he was a 21-year-old Prineville resident driving a speeding car on Highway 22 near Idanha in Marion County.
Troopers said the car missed a curve and hit trees, killing a passenger, 22-year-old Jesus Gonzalez-Sanchez, also of Prineville.

Fuel By-Product, SpaceShipOne
This is a sample of spent fuel burned by the rocket-powered SpaceShipOne during its ascent. The hybrid engine used both solid (rubber) and liquid (nitrous oxide) propellants. Both are relatively inexpensive and easy to handle, which makes them a good candidate for economical commercial spaceflight. SpaceShipOne won the $10 million Ansari X Prize in 2004 for repeated flights in a privately developed reusable spacecraft. It was designed to be a simple, robust, and reliable vehicle to make space travel and tourism affordable. The Museum removed this fuel byproduct upon receiving the spacecraft in 2005.

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. – Carter Capps, who remained undefeated in his collegiate career at Mount Olive, has been named Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Week. Capps, who went 10-0 as a freshman, improved to 2-0 this season with a complete game shutout Saturday.
Capps, a sophomore right-hander from Kinston, N.C., tossed a two-hitter and struck out 12 batters in just seven innings in the nationally ninth-ranked Trojans' 18-0 victory over Alderson-Broaddus. Capps overcame a first inning threat by striking out the final two batters, then went on to retire the side in order in five of the next six innings. He allowed only one ball hit out of the infield after the first inning and struck out the side in the seventh.
Baseball America named Capps its 2011 Preseason Division II Baseball National Pitcher of the Year.
Mount Olive returns to action Wednesday as the Trojans play host to Wingate in a non-conference doubleheader. Game time is 3 p.m.

Heading into Cyber Monday today, online shopping picked up, with Thanksgiving Day sales up 32% from a year earlier to $633 million and Black Friday sales growing 26% to $1.04 billion, says market research firm comScore.
The three heaviest online shopping days last year were Cyber Monday, Dec. 3, and Green Monday, Dec. 10.
In the first 23 days of this holiday season, through Nov. 23, comScore says online spending was up 16% to $13.73 billion.
Increased online shopping on Thanksgiving marks a trend, says comScore.
"Despite the frenzy of media coverage surrounding the importance of Black Friday in the brick-and-mortar world, we continue to see this shopping day become more and more prominent in the e-commerce channel," said comScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni in a statement.
"With Black Friday online sales up 26% and surpassing $1 billion for the first time, coupled with early reports indicating that Black Friday sales in retail stores were down 1.8%, we can now confidently call it a multichannel marketing phenomenon. Thanksgiving Day, which has historically been a lighter online holiday shopping day, continues to gain steam."
ComScore says 57.3 million Americans visited online retail sites on Black Friday, up 18% from a year earlier. It said the top online destinations were Amazon.com (AMZN), Wal-Mart (WMT), Best Buy (BBY), Target (TGT) and Apple (AAPL).
Online sales Black Friday rose 26% to $1.04 billion, about the same rate as 2011's 26% growth rate, comScore says.
"It looks like eCommerce got off to a good start," said Jefferies analyst Brian Pitz, in a report. "Still, given the possibility of a front-end loaded holiday season, we'll refine our estimates as more data come out over the next four weeks."
Jefferies says market research firm IBM Digital Analytics, formerly Coremetrics, reported less glowing numbers.
IBM Digital Analytics says Thanksgiving Day online sales increased 17.4% in 2012, below 2011's 39.3% growth rate. IBM's unit says Black Friday sales rose 20.7% this year compared with 24.3% in 2011.
IBM reported that 24% of shoppers used a mobile device to visit a retailer's website, up from 14.3% in 2011. Sales on mobile devices accounted for 16.3% of all online sales, up from 9.8% in 2011.
