How Lithium Battery Maintenance Is Correct

We love machine exactly how lithium battery maintenance is correct? This problem has plagued many people for a long time at the forum there is no uniform opinion. I looked up some information and consulted a friend (who the Department of electrochemical professional doctorate), and the introduction of the Friends under the advice of a well-known domestic battery, deputy director of the Institute. Can not arrogantly have resolved the issue and maintenance of lithium ion, but some of his recently acquired knowledge and experience to write about. The author of the study beyond the high school chemistry chemical Coban Orsay, have since been studying and working in the IT field, ?????, one must understand that even more shallow, N. of salt, but expert Dell inspiron 9400 battery Compaq presario R3000 battery Dell inspiron 1300 Battery.
Lithium-ion battery cathode material of lithium active compounds are usually composed of negative electrode is a special molecular structure of carbon. The common major components of LiCoO2 cathode materials
Negative reaction: C + xLi + + xe-CLix
Battery overall reaction: LiCoO2 + C Li1-xCoO2 + CLix
Discharge, then the occurrence of the above reaction of the reverse reaction.
Charging, the battery added to the positive pole of the electric potential to force the release of compounds Li + ions, embedded negative elements arranged in lamellar structure of the carbon. Discharge, Li + ion from the lamellar structure of carbon in the escape and re-cathode combination of compounds. Li + movement to promote a current.

Industry sources have told reporters on the market of this popular "saying" just a rumor. Because the laptop battery will appear in terms of risk of explosion is very small, only send a maximum of heat caused by melting shell and rarely cause an explosion. The few published laptop battery explosion, mostly due to the battery when in the production of quality problems caused.

Ugh… power outages. Gotta love waking up to find out you can see your breath misting when you are inside… *warms toes on register* Everything is fine though… Now anyways… onto the video! I am finishing up World 2 today… and as far as recording progress goes, I used my laptop battery during the outage to record World 6, so I am quite ahead of the postings. XD Stage 9: Flowerless Fort – This stage is not really all that difficult… which is to be expected as this is only the second castle. There IS a magikoopa segment… (definitely not a fan of those) …but it is still not all that bad. Just take your time and you should be able to clear it with ease too. Secret Stage 2: Marble Zone – Yeah, you can see where this is going… Just count the stages in the secret world and think back to how many zones there are in the original Sonic the Hedgehog game on the Genesis. The Marble Zone stage is likely the shortest of the bunch… even the secret exit is very easy to find, its only requirement is for you to have at least a mushroom by the time you reach near the end of the stage. I hope you like fire, cause this stage is full of it! You can download this rom hack from: www.smwcentral.net Do NOT ask me where to find the actual Super Mario World rom. I will not tell you where to find it, and persistent asking will get you blocked, understood? Enjoy!~

One of the functions of art, and cinema is no exception, is to transform the faults of an era in order to uncover aesthetic qualities in them. Why is it that each historical, geographical or cultural context forms its own idea of what is beautiful? Because beauty is designed to render the horrors of the present tolerable. And poets often manage to find inspiration in the waking nightmares of their contemporaries. The Black Death gave birth to the dances of death of the Late Middle Ages, the geniuses of the Renaissance learned to glorify the body during the Italian wars, the absurdity of Franz Kafka's novels reflected the atmosphere of Austro-Hungarian society. Landscapes ravaged by the Industrial Revolution led to cubism's rejection of classical perspectives… It is not that artists are captive to the vicissitudes of their time, but rather that they try to find mitigating circumstances for them. When we met filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino, he had just finished shooting a film that was still untitled, which he was more or less sure would be about Rome, although it would not be a film about Rome as such. This is what he felt able to tell us about how it was shaping up: it is a story about a 65 year-old journalist who is used to living the high life in Rome, has never married, has no children, and ends up taking fright at the fragility of a life of excess and pleasure, to take refuge in the untouchable love of a dead woman.
Remember Fellini's La Dolce Vita and think about its candid portrayal of Rome, which had been disillusioned by fifty years of cruel teachings. It needed the stature of the filmmaker who probably gave Sean Penn the role of his career (a former Goth rock star who gets over his depression by pursuing a hundred-year-old Nazi) to try to improve on one of the greatest films of the last century. Paolo Sorrentino works like those watercolour painters who create landscapes with a few strokes of colour that are both precise and approximate. In Il Divo, the feature film that won him the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the filmmaker already revealed his taste for vivid sequences. Through this portrait of Giulio Andreotti, who served as Prime Minister of seven governments and was undoubtedly the most influential post-war Italian politician, he examines the character of this churchman-like politician who knew the intimate workings of a Republic built on underhand dealings and internal coups. This eminent Roman personality seems to see the justice system as a refined instrument of domination that his ancestors had passed from generation to generation. One of the most powerful sequences in this film with sparse dialogue shows the Prime Minister's meeting with a Mafia boss of the Sicilian underworld. The politician sits still and cold as a waxwork statue, watching a sweaty farmer walk slowly towards them, with the steady, patient pace of an assassin. The Mafioso sits so close to Andreotti that he notices a small stain on his trouser zip. However, the impeccable statesman overcomes his disgust to embrace the vile individual who has come to pay his respects.
"I haven't travelled that much," insists Paolo Sorrentino. "But I don't think any other city is like Rome. In other places, categories have to be more distinct, less flexible." It is almost as if the Eternal City is too old to clearly see the line between different things. "It is not just a political capital, it is also the capital of bureaucracy, entertainment and faith. Both its ugliness and its beauty lie in its strange confused vocation." Rome is a former marsh which has become the swamp of Italian life. It has the amazing ability to bring together different aspects that cannot cooperate without compromising themselves. It is a double-edged sword, which creates both tolerance and disorder. When these different spheres collide, they create what can be magnificent horrors, like the monumental chaos that residents of Rome call classicism: pagan columns supporting the porch of a church, city blocks buttressed against an ancient theatre, statues of Olympic athletes tucked away in the recesses of a wall. As if Rome was a kind of Hollywood on the Tiber, or "Latin" America. After all, local cinema does have the Cinecittà studios at hand, a genuine hub in its golden age, and still host to international blockbusters. But this humungous machine seems to have turned into an expensive luxury for the country, whose cultural policies have been unsure how to handle this gigantic legacy of Fascist propaganda. It certainly offered expansive resources to Italian directors, but their historical indigestion has made it a tool as unsuited to the actual volume of their needs as the delivery of a fleet of bombers to a local police station.

2011 Directs Sean Penn and Frances McDormand in This Must Be the Place
2013 Production of a modern day La Dolce Vita, more than fifty years after Federico Fellini's masterpiece.
And Rome is not exactly a big fan of cinema. It is relatively indifferent to the films shot on its turf. Its monuments attract tourists, but intimidate filmmakers who avoid it out of fear of platitudes. Paolo Sorrentino is fully aware of the risk of falling into the picture postcard trap: "Two people kissing in front of the Eiffel tower is a cliché. If they get attacked in the same place, it starts to become a tragedy." Fellini once said that all Italians were actors, and that only the least talented made it their profession. According to Sorrentino, it was not just the term "paparazzo", the tabloid photographer character in La Dolce Vita whose name has now entered common parlance, that his illustrious predecessor invented. He reckons that Rome in the fifties had the feel of a provincial capital city where everyone was in bed before 10 pm, and where a clothes shop just had to put a few hats in its shop window to create a stir. Fellini, who never ventured onto Via Veneto, made do with what his American friends told him about it. For Sorrentino, the magnificent natural recklessness which Roman society claims to adhere to is an urban legend, a character study that the city has been playing for years. In La Dolce Vita, the city transforms so quickly that the search for newness becomes just another shade of permanence. The power of this story is that it completely invented the fear of emptiness that the following generations experienced. But there is a difference in scale between Fellini's fictional era and our own – it has to do with the fact that a community of individuals loses its illusions as it gains experience. "It is both progress and a pattern of despair that makes our time more vulgar, more cruel," says Paolo Sorrentino. The Rome of the "economic miracle" may well have been happier than it is now. Its innocence would likely have been out of place today. That's the conclusion this filmmaker is coming to. "We have become so difficult to enthral."

Whats the difference between concurrent users and concurrent meetings?
The Concurrent Users Limit is the maximum people who can access any of your VyewBooks at the same time.
The Concurrent Meeting Limit is how many meetings are going on at the same time. We define a meeting as a VyewBook with 2 or more people in it.
For example, if you Concurrent User Limit is 10, and your Concurrent Meeting Limit is 1, then you could have 5 people in 1 VyewBook, and 5 people spread across 5 other books viewing or reviewing content on their own. This is because the 5 people spread across 5 books, is not defined as a meeting since, each book only has 1 person in it.

Remarkable progress has been made in breast cancer screening and care in the past 20 years. Survival is improving, surgery can be less invasive in most cases, targeted therapies with fewer side effects are available, and not every breast cancer has to be treated with harsh chemotherapy.
However, even with all of this progress, one recent study(2012 Racial Disparity in Breast Cancer Mortality Study), funded by the Avon Foundation for Women, suggests these advances aren't available to everyone. Dr. Steve Whitman of the Sinai Urban Health Institute and I recently reported on the breast cancer mortality rate in black and white women in 24 of the largest U.S. cities. In 21 of the 24 cities, we found that black women had higher mortality rates from breast cancer. Since the size of the disparity varied by city, we know the disparity is primarily due to a woman's access to screening and treatment services. Some cities, like New York City, have public hospitals offering low-cost or free screenings throughout all five boroughs; other cities, like Chicago, which has a much higher disparity, have fewer public hospitals, making it much more difficult for women to get mammograms.
The 2012 Racial Disparity in Breast Cancer Mortality Study also showed that black women are not dying from breast cancer any more than they were in the past; it's that white women are dying less. For the last 20 years, the breast cancer mortality rate for black women has remained the same, but the rate for white women has been cut in half because they have access to the new advances in diagnosis and treatment. Although genetic factors cause about 10% of the disparity (black women get more aggressive forms of the disease, such as triple-negative breast cancer), 90% of the disparity is due to societal issues such as poverty, racial inequities and a lack of culturally relevant education about breast cancer. This racial disparity in breast cancer deaths obviously must change, but the fact that some women are dying less because of fixable societal issues is hopeful news for all women.
How can we change these societal issues?
· First, we must ensure that all women are educated about the importance of breast health screening. Although most people are "aware" of breast cancer, awareness alone doesn't save lives. All women must understand their risks, the importance of screening and how to get low-cost screenings. Women should speak to their doctors and educate themselves about their options.
· Second, all women must have access to screening regardless of their ability to pay. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) enables women to search for free and low-cost screenings across the country.
· Third, all women who need treatment must receive high-quality treatment in a timely manner and complete their recommended therapy.Far too manywomen miss their treatment because they can't afford the transportation or childcare. The AvonCaresprogram at CancerCare provides financial assistance for homecare, childcare and transportation.Learn more about the AvonCares program at 1-800-813-HOPE (4673).
We believe this is a fixable problem because many of the contributing factors, such as poverty, are societal. For information on ways to help fund programs to overcome this disparity, visit theAvon Foundation online.

The photography of Margaret Bryant. In her words about herself:
Artist, mother, poet, misfit in middle America. I'm new to photography; has been about a year, maybe a year and a half since I started playing around with it. I consider myself an artist using photography as a medium more than I consider myself a photographer. I've had no training whatsoever and I think that has actually been of benefit to me. It's easier to break the rules if you don't know what they are in the first place, and It's good to break the rules. I like creepy old toys. I like to make movies with puppets. I do NOT like things that are really slick-in-the-bad-way. I do alot of self-portraits. I have no professional photography experience. When I'm pained or frustrated I make Frankenstein's monster noises, when annoyed Bride of Frankenstein noises, neither by design. And I really hate pickles. Just so you know.

The Sports Card Glossary
Sports Trading Card Glossary Of Terms:
|The short version for Autograph. This is used by many on eBay to describe an Autograph card.
|A signature of an athlete or person
|Also short for Autograph or Auto card.
|Base Card
|These are the 'main' cards that usually include a wide variety of players across the entire league in which they play. These cards are usually the most 'common' cards found within the set. In most cases, these are non-autographed or jersey cards - however they can often be serial numbered in sets like 2010/11 Panini Limited Hockey.
|Base RC Card
Most sets of cards come with a base set - composed of base cards of players from around the league. Typically rookies (or the leagues 1st year players) are included within the base set as well. These are the players 'Base RC' - Be aware that most sets will have either Autograph Parallel and/or Insert Sets that are often considered 'RC Card' as well.
|Base Set
|Usually refers to the set (or group) of Base Cards within a particular set. For Example: 2010/11 Panini Timeless Treasures Basketball - the 'Base Set' are cards #1 - 100. Cards #101 - #150 are Autographed RC Cards - and are NOT considered apart of the 'Base Set' in most cases.
|Blaster Box
|Sometimes known as a 'Retail Box' - these are often found at Target, Wal-Mart and other large retailers. The blaster box often contains 5 - 10 Packs of a retail product ... sometimes guaranteeing an autograph or memorabilia hit (sometimes not). They are often priced at $9.99 - $19.99 - $29.99 with variations between each sport and brand. The packaging is usually a small rectangular cube.
|Book Value
|Often referring to Beckett or another Price Guide that publishes large lists of values for cards. Typically given in a range Lo - Hi based on market conditions and other factors when selling the card. Most collectors feel the majority of Book Prices are higher than what you can typically get for them on the open market or online auction houses like eBay.
|Could refer to the plastic you keep cards in, but in this example - we are referring to a case of product. Most boxes of cards come shipped in cases (or a case) ... basically a box with the companies logos and seal/tape showing that it's a case of the product. Typically buying cases means you get a 'case hit' and/or you get cards that fall every couple of boxes. Most hobby shops or dealers buy product by the case and sell the individual boxes for a small profit.
|Case Hit
|When you buy a case of product, you get 3, 6, 8, 12+ boxes of the product sealed in the factory/companies box. Usually every product has big name autographs, book cards, cut autographs and other nice cards that fall 1 or 2 per case (sometimes more). In some cases I've seen Panini 'guarantee' you get 2+ autographs from a group of top players per case. These cards are considered case hits.
|A list of all the cards within a particular set or subset. Could also refer to a list of any group of cards that you are trying to collect.
|Short For: Check My Bucket ---- Originally when Photobucket was the main place to store/share photos, collectors on forums would post Check My Bucket of photos for cards to trade. It is shortened to CMB when the user wants you to check out their photo album link to but/sell/trade cards on forums.
|Short for: Check Out My Cards - a website where you can buy/sell cards.
|Error Card - More common in cards Pre-Year 2000, often a miss-print or other error on the card. Sometimes followed by a COR or Corrected version that corrects the error on the previous print-run. One of the most famous ERR cards is the 1990 Topps Frank Thomas NNOF (No Name On Front) which can still sell for large values when sold.
|Hobby Box
|Pre-Internet days, you had Hobby Shops (sports cards only) and Retail Shops (Target, Wal-Mart like stores that sell everything) -- most products came in a retail form and a hobby form, with the latter (hobby) usually containing better insert card odds and often more cards per pack/box. Only sports card stores (Hobby Stores) could sell hobby boxes, while Target and Wal-Mart could only sell the Retail Versions. The only thing that has changed is that you can buy Hobby Boxes online and on eBay.
|Insert Card
|Most products contain insert cards, which broadly could be all cards not in the base set. Most people consider an insert card to be a card that has a different design/numbering than the base set ... and most products have several insert cards. Creative names are usually made for the insert set, such as 'Beam Team' - 'Power Picks' - 'All-Stars' ... ect.
|Manufactured Patch
|This refers to the patch on the card being 'manufactured' or just simply made in a factory specifically for that card. The player(s) on the front never used that material ... its simply material or Patches instead of traditional cardboard. Be very careful not to be fooled that these are 'Game Used' or are connected to the player/team in anyway.
|Rack Pack
|A type of pack configuration designed to hang from a stores 'rack' - These are common at retail stores like Target and WalMart... hanging down they appear to be 2-3 packs joined together. Depending on the product, these are usually priced in the $5.99 - $7.99 range.
|Topps has many sets that use the Refractor technology on cards, most notably Bowman Chrome and Topps Chrome. Introduced originally in Topps Finest, these cards 'refract' light, or in other words ... they create a rainbow like effect on the surface of the card that shines when you rotate in light. The original Topps Finest refractors didn't have any way to tell it was a refractor unless you held it up to light ... which made you go through each card to check. Now they state 'Refractor' on the back, and are often serial numbered.
|Release Date
|Used by manufactures (Topps, Panini Upper Deck) to announce when a box/set is going to be available to the public. These are often 'pushed back' or delayed due to product manufacturing, getting signatures/jerseys for the cards ... ect.
|Relic Piece
|A term used mainly by Topps, referring to some type of material (jersey, pants, bat, base, ball, ect) that is included on the card. Be sure to find out if the Relic Piece is 'Game Used' - 'Event Used' - 'Player Worn' - 'Manufactured' - or other variation....typically this information is stated on the card itself.
|Serial Number
|In the early 90's card companies started putting serial numbers -- or the actual print run -- directly on the card. You'd often see Rookie Cards serial numbered and some insert and parallel cards as well. Keep in mind that the serial number refers to that particular card, Bowman Chrome for example has Blue, Purple, Red, Orange and other parallels all serial numbered to a different amount. So you might have a Thomas Neal #10/500, but he might have other serial numbered parallels within the same set.
|Typically this refers to a particular 'brand' or version of cards made by manufactures. For example, Topps Chrome, SP Authentic, and National Treasures are all 'sets' made by different manufactures. The term is also used when you put together a 'set' of cards ... for example 2010 Topps Baseball Base 'Set' refers to just the 'base cards' within the entire 2010 Topps Baseball set.
|Often short for SP Authentic - or Upper Deck's SP Authentic line of cards.
|Sub Set
|The more common use of this term is 'Insert Card/Set' - It usually refers to a grouping of cards within an entire Set that are related. For example, 2010 Allen & Ginter Baseball has many Sub-Sets or Inserts such as Worlds Greatest Wordsmiths, National Animals, Sailors ... ect.
|Short for Through The Mail - the process of sending an athlete/celebrity an item to sign in the hopes that they will return it via the mail.
|Often short for Topps Triple Threads line of cards.
|This is used by price guides to denote a players first card that for some reason is not considered his "true" or only rookie card. Examples include Michael Jordan who's '84-'85 Star is considered his XRC and the '86-'87 Fleer is considered his RC.

USADA wins the Snails Race
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Going for some low hanging fruit today, doping. We're beating that dead horse until it's glue. Coffee talk discussion gives me the chance to rank and you a chance to fire back with your 2 or 4 cents.
Finally Joe Papp was sentenced for 3 years' probation, 6 months' house arrest by the Federal Government and 8 years sanction by USADA. His list of customers was what got local pro cyclist, Chuck Coyle suspended for 2 years and it's been rumored that his lists holds nearly 180+ domestic cyclists names and the majority are not pros. Originally busted nearly 2 years ago, he was going to get a much worse sentence but "his sentencing was delayed while he cooperated with federal and U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) inquiries into his former customers and others."
[Commentary] Meanwhile many of his former customers may have moved on from cycling as they haven't yet been called up for a pro team. According to my watch, Chuck Coyle is one of a couple "customers" that have been busted. Given that it is possible that some riders have or will be moving on, how can USADA suspend someone who no longer participates?
On a positive note, USADA has been getting results
- Florida Master cyclist takes 2 year suspension
- Another Master cyclist busted
It is unknown if these riders were on Papp's list but it is possible that USADA had a reason to test them
So are you satisfied with how the Joe Papp story has played out?
It's different if someone like Lance Armstrong is found guilty of doping even though he no longer competes but if a cat 4 cyclist is on that list and 4 years later gets a suspension, to me that just seems, um embarrassing for all. Conspiracy theories can run wild on how this is playing out, like, why was a very visible Boulder cyclist one of the first riders to get busted for being on the list, no one else has been busted by that association, could USADA be trying to send a message to Boulder/Colorado riders? Never did USADA provide 303cycling with a aggregate number of Colorado riders on that list, could this strategy be due to Colorado having a high number on that list? Will USADA be setting up camp at some races they have access to this year in Colorado? Is it also possible that some lower ranking riders have been contacted by USADA but will not be publicly dealt with? In the end a lot could have taken place without the public even knowing.

Local Master Dopers

I thought by now more masters would be named by USADA especially since Papp sold to so many people. The one thing I have seen is that there are a few masters racers that have done very well in years past and have done ALOT of races and for some reason this year they have done far few races or none at all. Coincidence?

So you are postulating that a number of local Master's racers are doping? Tell me, as a single local Master's racer been implicated by Joe Papp? So what if they use to race and no longer do. We are talking about guys with wives and children who may or may not be able to make the time to be competitive anymore.

I am just entering the discussion but I gather there is 1 known rider from a team that was disbanded this year as referenced earlier in this discussion. Apparently not kosher to blurt his name so I won't. As a local masters racer with children I certainly understand the challenges of balancing training with life activities and keeping some family harmony intact, and the inevitable fluctuations in fitness and ability to be competitive in the masters categories. I guess I am agreeing, one cannot just connect dots of doping to racing less. And there are some guys that I think are just genetically gifted (unfortunately I am not one of those) and have been uber competitive for years. Just because they are super strong does not mean they dope. That said, I would love to see Papp's list to learn of any others that have doped on the local scene. Of course, Papp is just one source and there are plenty other avenues to access HGH/Steroids/Testosterone/EPO/etc. These performance enhancers are unfortunately readily accessible to our local high school football players/athletes/etc (that is another discussion) so I am sure grown adults can find them as well.

Yes, I think what Papp got was fair, now release the list
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
You need to add local Phil Z who finally got busted. We also have to wonder about a team Skins rider from 2010 (I know I am not allowed to say his name), who had USADA show up to test him, and then he never raced again in 2011. Where is the info on him?
I am happy with the sentence Papp got. So many people want to vilify the guy and I certainly understand that. However he has done more, once he was caught, to work with the fed to get people busted. In a time when so many people lie about it, denied it, make excuses, he deserves credit for doing what he did (and I am not in any way saying that makes him a good guy or excuses what he did).
I am also glad to see more guys getting busted in testing, like the 2 riders on the Canadian team recently, or the guy at masters track nationals, and the guy at masters road nationals. We need more testing. As for cheating in CO I have no reason to think it is any worse here than else were, whether in the pro/am races or in the masters level. Having done national this year I can tell you the guys from CA defiantly think it is more prevalent in their state then we do, but maybe we are just turning a blind eye.

Don't come back to cycling. You are not good for the sport, even if you reform yourself. I have lost two potential lucrative sponsorships from local companies because they have heard about doping at the LOCAL level. Thanks for f'ing it up.

I am not satisfied with Papp's sentence. Sure, he has cooperated in the past couple of years. But I saw and heard him testify against Landis. (Never mind that he had no information related to whether or not Landis actually doped.) Papp acted as if he had already repented and put the doping world behind him. But we now know that was not the case. He was still selling to any willing buyer when he testified and continued to do so for awhile after that. Clearly, Papp kept trying to make money at this until the feds back him into a corner. Talk about hypocrisy.

Given the very low level of comments to this I'm guessing everyone is "over that doping" story for awhile.
Next week's Coffee Talk Tuesday will not be racing related but very much cycling... unless someone gets busted in the 303 area between now and then.... I'm not holding my breath on that one.

International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI)
The purpose of this classification is to provide Member States, health care service providers and organizers, and researchers with a common tool for reporting and analysing the distribution and evolution of health interventions for statistical purposes. It is structured with various degrees of specificity for use at the different levels of the health systems, and uses a common accepted terminology in order to permit comparison of data between countries and services.
History: The need to classify interventions first emerged in 1971. It was initially limited to surgical procedures. The first International Classification of Procedures in Medicine (ICPM) was published in 1978. International work on the subject came to a virtual halt in 1989 , because of the inadequacy of the consultation procedures with regard to the necessary adaptability to rapid and extensive changes in the field.
A number of countries, however, undertook work for national purposes. The resulting classifications came short of providing adequate tools for use at the international level. Today, the need for an international classification has reemerged with a wider scope. The envisaged International Classification of Health Interventions aims to cover a wide range of measures taken for curative and preventive purposes by medical, surgical and other health-related care services.
Current status: In recent years, the Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for the Family of International Classifications has promoted the development of a short list of health Interventions for international use, based on the Australian Modification of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10-AM) It is intended to be used in countries that do not, as yet, have their own classification of interventions.
An initial ICHI version is being adapted to meet present day conformance criteria with recognized standards. In particular, the multiple application areas of such a classification calls for a multiaxial capture of the underlying knowledge. Furthermore rapid change in science and technology implies frequent updates. Adequate technical solutions must therefore be developed. The Family Development Committee of the Network of WHO Collaborating Centers for the Family of international Classifications is actively developing plans and canvassing support to that end.

Flora and Fauna
Israel's plant and animal life is rich and diversified, in part due to the country's geographical location at the junction of three continents. Some 2,600 types of plants have been identified, ranging from alpine species on the northern mountain slopes to Saharan species in the Arava in the south. Israel is the northernmost limit for the presence of plants such as the papyrus reed and the southernmost limit for others like the bright red coral peony.
Natural woodlands, consisting mostly of calliprinos oaks, cover parts of Galilee, Mount Carmel and other hilly areas. In spring, the rockrose and thorny broom predominate with a color scheme of pink, white, and yellow. Honeysuckle creeps over the bushes, and large plane trees provide shade along the freshwater streams of Galilee. In the Negev highlands, massive Atlantic pistachios strike a dramatic note along the dry valleys, and date palms grow wherever there is sufficient underground water.
Many cultivated flowers such as the iris, Madonna lily, tulip, and hyacinth have relatives among the wildflowers of Israel. Soon after the first rains in October-November, the country is covered by a green carpet that lasts until the return of the summer dry season. Pink and white cyclamen and red, white, and purple anemones bloom from December to March, with the blue lupin and yellow corn marigold flowering a little later. Many native plants such as the crocus and squill are geophytes, which store nourishment in bulbs or tubers and bloom at the end of the summer. Hovering over the fields are some 135 varieties of butterflies of brilliant hues and patterns.
Over 500 different species of birds can be seen in Israel. Some, like the common bulbul, are resident in the country; others, such as coots and starlings, spend the winter feasting on food provided by Israel's fish ponds and farmland. Millions of birds migrate twice yearly along the length of the country, providing magnificent opportunities for bird watching. Honey buzzards, pelicans, and other large and small migrants fill the skies in March and October. Several raptor species, among them eagles, falcons, and hawks, and tiny songbirds such as sylvia warblers and goldcrests, nest in Israel.
Delicate mountain gazelles roam over the hills; foxes, jungle cats, and other mammals live in wooded areas; Nubian ibex with majestic horns leap over desert crags; and chameleons, snakes, and agama lizards are among the 100 reptile species native to the country.

Nature Conservation
In efforts to conserve the natural environment, stringent laws for the protection of nature and wildlife have been enacted, making it illegal to pick even the most common roadside flowers. Charged with the advancement of nature preservation, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA) strives to protect the landscape and natural environment. Over 150 nature reserves and 65 national parks established throughout the country under the authority's supervision, encompass some 400 square miles (nearly 1000 square kilometers). About 20 reserves have been developed for public use with visitors' centers, roads, and hiking trails, attracting over two million people every year. One of Israel's important regions - Mount Carmel - was declared a biosphere reserve within the framework of the Man and Biosphere Program of UNESCO.
Hundreds of plants and animals, including the oak, palm, gazelle, ibex, leopard, and vulture, are protected, and special rescue operations have been initiated to ensure the survival of a number of endangered species. Feeding stations for wolves, hyenas, and foxes have been set up, as well as safe nesting sites for birds. Eggs of marine turtles are collected regularly from the Mediterranean shore and hatched in incubators; the young turtles are then returned to the sea. With more than 500 million migrating birds passing over the country each year, Israel has become an internationally known bird-watching center and a focal point of international research and cooperation.
Careful monitoring of bird migration routes helps prevent bird-aircraft collisions. An Internet site (http://www.birds.org.il) developed in Israel under the motto "Birds Know No Boundaries," links children throughout the world in an educational and research project.
Inspired by a profound sense of heritage, efforts are being made to preserve and reintroduce plant and animal life, which existed in biblical times and have since either disappeared from the region or are threatened with extinction. Neot Kedumim, a landscape reserve in the center of the country dedicated to collecting and conserving extant plant varieties mentioned in the Bible, has established extensive gardens with flora native to various geographical areas of the Land of Israel in ancient times. The Hai Bar wildlife projects in the Arava and on Mount Carmel were set up to reintroduce animal species, which once roamed the hills and deserts of the Land, into their former natural habitats. Animals now being raised include ostriches, Persian fallow deer, oryxes, onagers, and Somali wild asses.
Public awareness of nature preservation is promoted in schools and among the population at large through guided excursions, publications, and information campaigns. The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, the country's largest environmental organization, has spearheaded dozens of campaigns against the destruction of ecosystems and landscapes through unwise development. Its educational outreach program includes 10 field schools, 4 bird-watching centers, 5 urban nature centers, and 10 local branches.
Keren Kayemet - The Jewish National Fund was founded (1901) to purchase land for Jewish agricultural communities, as well as to carry out development, reclamation and afforestation projects in the Land of Israel. By the time Israel became independent (1948), the JNF, with funds collected from Jews all over the world, had bought some 240,000 acres, most of which had to be redeemed from centuries of neglect, and had planted about 4.5 million trees on the country's rocky hillsides.
Today over 200 million trees in forests and woodlands covering some 300,000 acres provide Israelis with a wide range of opportunities for outdoor recreation and appreciation of nature. While continuing its activities of afforestation and forest maintenance, the JNF also develops parks and recreation sites, prepares infrastructure for new communities, carries out various water-harvesting projects and is an active partner in environmental conservation efforts throughout the country.

It might come as a surprise that the CIA agents who tracked down many of Al Qaeda's top leaders, including Osama Bin Laden, to be captured or killed were a group of women who look more like your kid's second-grade teacher than female leads in a spy thriller.
Known in the CIA as the "Sisterhood," a team of female intelligence analysts have worked for two decades to piece together shards of information from around the globe to not only track individual terrorists leaders, but to get to know how they think and react.
Their story, including their scapegoating by Congress after the 9/11 attacks, is the subject of Greg Barker's documentary "Manhunt."
As one of the team explains, "Women make the best analysts," because they are better than men at seeing patterns in a sea of ambiguous information gathered from hundreds of sources. They were often criticized by their male superiors for being obsessed with their work and emotional.
"How can you do something like this without being passionate?" says one of the team. "We were trying to protect the United States. It's a big burden."
To make them more effective after 9/11, the analysts were teamed with field agents "down range"—in combat zones. A member of the Sisterhood was killed by a suicide bombing. But soon their CIA colleagues were referring to their amalgamation of information and intuition "magic."
A team of Navy Seals landed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and gunned down Osama Bin Laden. But it wouldn't have been possible without the Sisterhood that painstakingly tracked his favorite courier across the Middle East.
If you've seen "Zero Dark Thirty," "Manhunt" is the true-life prequel.
Remaining screenings:
Thursday, 4 p.m., Redstone Cinema, Kimball Junction.
Saturday, 9 a.m., Yarrow Hotel Theatre, Park City.

If you browse websites, you can find pretty much all types of sidebar menus: on top (like our very own Stack Exchange), as left or right menu bar, or even at the bottom (though that's a less common choice). When balancing the webpage layout, how should one approach this choice? Has there been any research into the ease of use of menubars on different sides of the page?
It seems to me that top and left are the most prominent positions for a menu bar, but I have no experience whatsoever on this topic.

When working on a (programming) task, often I discover that the goal I set cannot be achieved the way I thought: either (1) it must be split up, or (2) abandoned altogether. In the Pomodoro book, this is called a qualitative estimation error.
Splitting might be necessary when I overlooked some sub task, thinking it could be done within this task, but it is so large that it should be a task by itself.
Abandoning happens for example when I wanted to use design pattern X, but when coding it, it appears to me that design pattern Y is a much better match. The task 'implement design pattern X' is then no longer useful.
How do I handle this kind of estimation errors task wise?
I'm using a hybrid of Personal Kanban and Pomodoro, but the problem applies to both.
Should I consider the sub task separate from the main task for estimates? If I do, the estimate for the main task will go down, which seems counter intuitive to me. Also, do I keep the main task in my "Doing" column on the Kanban board?
Should I just replace the task with the new task? If I do, do I count the time spent towards the new task? Where do I leave the old task on the Kanban board? It's not done, but it never will be.

hey everbodys i just wondering if we knew when they come out in australia and if somebody could give me a website to see the first 3 starter pokemon thankx
First off, Serebii doesn't know everything, he just posts a lot of content.
Austrailia usually gets things a few months after the US, so probably sometime around mid to early June or July I would say.
As far as the starter Pokemon...They're the weirdest yet, and even though I normally do fire, the monkey...It's just odd.
Does anyone know if they will release it in New Zealand cause if they do I will buy a gameboy (is it the old or new one?)
You need a DS, not a Gameboy.
I plan to get Diamond.
Does anyone know the release date for North America? >_> Unless it's already out.
April 22.
I say Pearl for me!!
1st of all, Australia gets stuff a few days after the US, so it will come round the 30th of April, Second, Pearl is the better because of its 2nd legendary,
Its a Dragon Water / Ice type which elimenates one of its worst Weaknesses, Which means that type is only weak to other dragon attacks.
The Main Legend that appears in Pearl / Diamend has a ability to reach 720 in stats, which is more than the legendary doxeys. More than any Pokemon.
And this pokemon can change its stat at the plate its holding.
It has.... A strange but well deserved Air to it.
All up. Id rate Pearl the better for the fact it includes the Best dragon type ever to Walk the world of pokemon. And I say that as a fan of many Dragon types. It could destroy others thanks to its ability to use moves like Ice Beam.
I got most of this info of Wikipedia.
The "main legend" you are reffering to, who? Arueses(sp)?
The daimond dragon is way better though. The only move that's super effective against it is Ground type.
Incorrect; while a lot of Diaruga's weaknesses are physical, it has purdy defenses to back it up. Accorded, Ground weakness sucks, but hey we can't get everything :/

High Country Adventure rents tubes for floating the ProvoWhat: Tubing the Lower Provo River Where: Provo Canyon (of course) When: Pioneer Day Weekend How much: $15 bucks Why? Cause its hot and the river cold and wet.
The Provo River can be easily tubed all by yourself, but for the first timer I recommend using the shuttle and organizational (sort of) services of High Country Adventure outfitter. They have a private dock and rend inflatable kayaks, rafts and tubes for your excursion. You can hire a guide for each type of tour but it is quite easily navigated with the safety lecture they give you on the shuttle to the top. Also. I think doing this section of the Provo on a full sized raft would be BORING. Too much boat, not enough river here.
So to make a reservation call in and reserve your tube, an unguided tube is $15, which is a super deal, I think, for a two-hour float down a really fun section of river. I opted for the 2 p.m. slot which seems the most popular as our float was super crowded.
Crowd tip: If there is a big group, identify them while your waiting to load up and GET AHEAD OF THEM at the put in. This require a little forceful assertion but floating behind a big pack of drinking buddies stinks and you will continually collide with their flotilla and have a hard time navigating tricker sections. Unless you are a big crowd, of course, then have at it.
The High Country guides tell you to arrive no later than 1:45 and you You should get there by 1:45 to check in but be prepared to stand around for an hour-ish while they pull the morning group out of the river and load up the boats for the next session.
On the ride up one of the guides will give you a safety lecture and two key tips for navigating the river. One involves the "Bridge of Death." so listen up.
Once on the water, there you are. The river gets fast in spots and pretty much most of the fun is lining up the rapids to jostle your tube and making course corrections to avoid the river bank's rocks, pokey sticks and the fisherman dotting the waterway. Navigation is a pretty good work out as it consists of just frantically paddling your arms and often turning in circles. I was thinking a short kayak paddle would be helpful, because all that flaying about rubs your arms on the tub. This becomes painful by the end of the float.
If you capsize, the river isn't deep although it is swift so be prepared to hold your ground. Beverages of your choice are perfectly acceptable, this is a river after all. I just three a few cans of beer in a backpack and kept it in my lap during the float.
Directions from SLC: Head south on I-15 to exit 272. Turn left off the exit and follow it through a series of stoplights. As you approach the mountains the road forks into the canyon and down to Provo. Stay in the left lane (189 north) up Provo Canyon towards Heber City. Proceed 6 miles up the canyon until you reach Vivian Park (on right). Proceed 50 meters PAST the entrance of Vivian Park and turn right into the parking area.

JASON ISBELL & THE 400 UNIT, NEWPARK AMPHITHEATER (PARK CITY), Thursday, 6 p.m., Free
The fact that Jason Isbell and his band the 400 Unit is playing a free show at EXACTLY the same time as the University of Utah is playing its first home football game of the season is one of those things that would seem to indicate it doesn't pay to be both a music geek AND a sports nerd. Isbell released one of my favorite albums of 2011 with Here We Rest, just the latest in a long line of releases that prove Isbell is one of the best American songwriters working today. The fact that he's only 33 years old makes future-me happy to know I'll have Isbell to enjoy for years to come–definitely long enough that I won't feel it necessary to thrown in the obligatory "and he was a Drive-By Trucker, dammit!" reference. As the season-closer of Newpark Amphitheater's free concert series, Isbell is the best show of the week.
THE LOWER LIGHTS, BRIGHAM YOUNG HISTORIC PARK, Friday, 7:30 p.m., Free
Listening and watching The Lower Lights perform is easily one of my favorite local music experiences. And chances to do just that are kind of rare–the gospel-singin' collective doesn't get the chance to gather its players and singers together very often, so each show seems like a special treat. This summer, the group released its second Hymn Revival set, and you can expect a heavy dose of it at this free show in downtown SLC.
THE ROSE EXPOSED, ROSE WAGNER PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, Saturday, 9 a.m.-10 p.m., Free
This is one of the best ideas I've heard of in local arts in quite a while, and a fine way to introduce one of the most treasured venues in Salt Lake City to people who perhaps have never visited the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. A bunch of the group that call the Rose home are joining to offer day full of free performances and classes, with the day capped off by an hour-long variety show of the best of the best for just $10. Those shows are at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., but before that you can spend the day learning about and seeing performances by the likes of the Plan-B Theatre Company, Pygmalion Theatre Company, Repertory Dance Theatre, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company and SB Dance, as well as films from SpyHop Productions. Hit the link above to check out the full schedule–new programs start on the hour, every hour from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The 2014 Dewey Winburne Community Service honorees represent the best of the best of people using their talents to help others.

Curious about how we selected these honorees? Most were nominated via the SXSW scholarship program. An Austin-based committee reviewed all scholarship nominees with an eye to the qualities of community, compassion, care, education and positive energy that Dewey brought to his tenure at SXSW. See who else has received this honor by browsing our past honorees page.

News: Season Preview: Football Team Looking To Rebound In 2013
In his third season directing the Pasadena City College football team, head coach Fred Fimbres knows it's time for his Lancers to show they can truly compete in the difficult SCFA National Northern Conference. The growing pains of 2011 and 2012 are over in the coach's mind.
"It's comforting going into a season that for the first time we have a group of sophomores who we recruited and cultivated," Fimbres said about his 2013 Lancers. "We were hit by injuries last year and to lose that many key players is never good for any football program. To lose them on a team with new face compounds that negative impact on your team. But we may have gained in the long run by having this year what amounts to our most experienced group since I came to coach here."
Twenty-one sophomores return from 2012 and eight other second-year players are either coming back from Fimbres' 2011 squad or transferred in from another community college.
The most heralded returning player is All-NNC Second Team defensive lineman Dalyou Pierson, a 6-foot-3, 260-pounder from Independence High in Bakersfield. As a freshman, Pierson used his quickness and anticipation moves to fill holes in leading the Lancers in tackles with 64. Nine of his tackles were behind the line of scrimmage including 2.5 sacks.
Mike Sepulveda, a 2011 all-conference linebacker (from Helix High), returns as a medical redshirt after recording 18 tackles over two games last season. Sepulveda made 57 tackles and recovered two fumbles in his freshman year. Another injured returning linebacker now healed is Bryan Luna, (Crescenta Valley High) who recorded 51 tackles in 2011 before missing the entire '12 season.
The team's depth at llinebacker is enhanced by Javon McElroy-Bradford (Washington Prep, 20 tackles last year), and Kevin Tapia (South Pasadena, 13 tackles).
Fimbres didn't hide what he feels is the team's ultimate strengths this season.
"The offensive and defensive lines are our two strengths," he said. "This is going to alter our coaching philosophy. The O-Line will turn us into a ball-control, running team. The D-Line will be all about stopping the run. Our goal will be about controlling the line of scrimmage."
Pierson leads that defensive line along with lettermen Gus Ferrat (Burbank Burroughs High, 11 tackles, 1.5 sacks), Jonathan White (Hamilton HS, 8 tackles), and redshirt Tarance Cotright (Crenshaw). Edward Jahnke (2011 returner, Samoana, American Samoa, 2 sacks) and newcomer Manuel Matiarena (a top recruit from Salesian High) add to the mix.
The Lancers' offensive line has even more depth including returning regulars in Miguel Machado (6-6, 275 pounds, from Carol City, Florida), Raul Martinez (6-3, 265, Burroughs), Salvador Chavarin (6-2, 350, Rosemead), and Lester Quintana (6-2, 275, Burroughs). The trench crew is bolstered by 2011 returner Konelio Maino (Taft Union), and highly-touted incoming freshman Javen Burdett (from Campbell High, Hawaii), who could very well earn the coveted key starting center position.
"At one point late last year, we had five true freshmen starting on the offensive line in games," Fimbres said. "We saw a great improvement in our rushing game over the final three games of the season. We want to build on that and we have the experience to do that."
PCC's running attack is led by 2012 leading rusher Marciss Grigsby (Hamilton, 115 carries, 493 yards, three touchdowns). Cameron Washington (Bishop Alemany, also a letterman, 8 receptions, 59 rushing yards) is expected to improve after being a quality prep runner. Sophomore Steve Dinov (Napa High) will once again show his ability as a strong blocking fullback.
The Lancers quarterback position is a battle of two between Darrian Cazarin (Alhambra High) and Shana Virnala (Los Altos), according to Fimbres. Cazarin passed for 4,355 yards and 42 TDs his last two years at Alhambra. Virnala threw for 1,863 yards and 18 touchdown in leading Los Altos as an All-Hacienda League performer. Both are expected to see playing time in the team's season opener v. Citrus College on September 7.
PCC's wide receiving corps is a work in progress with returner Micah Shirley (Bellarmine-Jefferson, 10 receptions, 121 yards) and Marcus Green, who was a 2011 Pasadena Star-News All-Area performer at Pasadena High, leading the bunch.
The Lancers' defensive back corps also is being evaluated with transfer Frank Denegal, a 2011 impact player at El Camino College-Compton Center (and Locke High) with 44 tackles and a team-high 7 pass breakups, and the incoming Alexander twins, Austin and Evan, who were each All-Baseline League selections as seniors last year, in the mix. Freshmen James Wilson (Damien High) and Rodon Ogilvie (Lynwood) each figure to compete for secondary spots.
PCC hosts Citrus in a 6 p.m. season-opening start at Robinson Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 7.

ZF-4114: shift private methods to protected ones in Zend_Translate_Adapter_Xliff so that it can be easily extended
I was wondering if it could be possible to change all private methods defined in Zend_Translate_Adapter_Xliff into protected ones?
I wanted to create a subclass with small changes to fit my purposes (basically use own defined ids as array keys for $this->_translate instead of source strings), which could have been easily done overloading ->_startElement() method which unfortunately is defined as private.
For now I've copy-pasted the code into a new class and made my changes there, but by doing this it won't benefit further improvements from Zend_Framework updates. It would be really great.
Thanks for the job anyway!
Regards, Remy
Changing the ID brakes translation.
The adapter classes are not allowed to be extended because of the risk of information loss. This would lead to severe problems with the base class.
The only way is to create a own adapter and use this as base for translations.
If there are problems with the actual implementation please add a issue. If you see enhancements please also add a issue as probably also other adapters may benefit from it.
