Trains that tilt on curves can go faster, but passengers complain of motion sickness. We studied the control signals and tilts to determine why this occurs and how to maintain speed while eliminating motion sickness. Accelerometers and gyros monitored train and passenger yaw and roll, and a survey evaluated motion sickness. The experimental train had 3 control configurations: an untilted mode, a reactive mode that detected curves from sensors on the front wheel set, and a predictive mode that determined curves from the train's position on the tracks. No motion sickness was induced in the untilted mode, but the train ran 21% slower than when it tilted 8° in either the reactive or predictive modes (113 vs. 137 km/h). Roll velocities rose and fell faster in the predictive than the reactive mode when entering and leaving turns (0.4 vs. 0.8 s for a 4°/s roll tilt, P<0.001). Concurrently, motion sickness was greater (P<0.001) in the reactive mode. We conclude that the slower rise in roll velocity during yaw rotations on entering and leaving curves had induced the motion sickness. Adequate synchronization of roll tilt with yaw velocity on curves will reduce motion sickness and improve passenger comfort on tilting trains.-Cohen, B., Dai, M., Ogorodnikov, D., Laurens, J., Raphan, T., Müller, P., Athanasios, A., Edmaier, J., Grossenbacher, T., Stadtmüller, K., Brugger, U., Hauser, G., Straumann, D.

I picked these rainbow colored, hard candy flip flop sandals at the Wilbur Chocolate Company gift shop. Aren't they pretty?
|September 2010
I picked these rainbow colored, hard candy flip flop sandals at the Wilbur Chocolate Company gift shop. Aren't they pretty?
These Sidewinders were quite an impromptu find. I was at the Franklin Institute with some friends for the day, and we were killing some time in the gift shop. They had a bunch of "educational" candy stuff there, like rock candy and space food, none of which really appealed to me. Then I saw these by the checkout and decided to try them since they were pretty inexpensive. This was probably prompted by the fact I was marveling at the 3 foot long gummi snakes just beforehand, yet didn't want to pay the price they were selling them for. I did get to go home with gummi/chewy snakes that day regardless.
I bought two of the Sidewinders, which are really big snakes. One is yellow and red, the other yellow, blue and purple. I really have no leads to go on in terms of texture and taste for these. Sometimes you gotta take that leap.
Yellow/Red: Smells like strawberry fruit leather. Very jammy and sweet. The gummi texture is kinda foamy and soft. The bite is very easily bitten through, there's no give or substance to this gummi at all. The flavor took me by surprise, as the smell doesn't match the flavor at all. The flavor is strong and juicy pineapple, with a tart juicy ege that comes across very authentic. It's not too sweet, which is what many candy pineapple flavors are. Color me impressed, this is pretty good!
Yellow/Blue/Purple: This one smells…very floral with a tart edge to it. Something metallic and artificial. The flavor is…...soapy to start, I can get hints of pineapple from the yellow part, but the rest…blech, taste like soapy perfume. Gross.
So overall these were ok. One was really awesome and the other gross. I can't bring myself to recommend them, but they were fun to try.

I've always eyed these Haribo Raspberries in stores ever since I was a little kid. These was something so pleasing, so attractive, so beautiful about these little candies. It wasn't until recently that I got to try them, so they always have this mysterious lure to them. Which is funny, since they're not anything more than non pariel covered gumdrops. Still, visual appeal holds a lot of clout in confectionery, and these are really stunning.
As soon as I was home I opened the bag to see what these looked like up close. Each raspberry is about a size of a gumdrop, with the base around the size of a penny. They feel light in your hand, with a cool feeling from the bumpy outsides. They are so cute! I can totally see these growing off of a candy bush in Willy Wonka's garden.
The red one are the red raspberry flavor, more floral and juicy and like a real raspberry with notes of strawberries and floral accents with a twinge of sour. The non pariel outsides are sweet, but flavorless. The texture of the non pariels are starchy, and the gummi is nicely firm, but not too hard or rubbery.
The black raspberries, or blackberries, taste more deep and sweet. There's no light sour note here, and they're more juicy and blueberry/black berry flavor with more ripe accents to them.
Both are very yummy and the flavor texture is really neat and different, not to mention they look so cool.
Aside from how fun and tasty these are, I can see lots of fun applications for these. I want to use them as cupcake/cake decorations, but sadly I don't bake such items too often. Regardless, they're worth a try!

A Pocky box from a few summers ago. I love the use of the white background with all the blues and greens. So pretty! Not to mention that the Pocky was tasty too.
For my birthday my boyfriend took me out to Max Brenner's for dinner. If you're any sort of chocolate lover, you may have heard of him before. He's an Australian chocolatier with the tag line "Chocolate By the Bald Man" and has opened up chocolate themed restaurants all over the world. I haven't been able to get to one for some time, due to funds or lack of friends. So, the sweetheart that my boyfriend is, finally decided it was time that I went.
I hope to do a review on the full place sometime, but let me just state here that the food was awesome. Dinner was well portioned and extremely delicious, so much so that neither of us had the stomach space for any of his infamous chocolate desserts! So sad! However, to make up for it, we decided to take home some of his chocolate bonbons. We selected a few flavors from behind the big chocolate counters and left with some sweets to try later on.
Each of the bonbons are little squares, about an inch on each side, and about 1/2 inch tall. They have lovely designs on the tops of each so they're easily told apart from one another.
Lemon Oil: The texture is super delicate and smooth. The ganache is terribly creamy and silky. The dark chocolate is rich with nice flavors of cherry and coffee, and the lemon oil gives it a nice citrus twist which plays on the nice acidic notes of the dark chocolate. Really lovely.
Cherry Cordial: This bonbon is really delicate and smooth. This is more smokey than the others, with the slightly bitter and fruit notes of a nice cordial. It's not as cherry as I was expecting, but then again, this is flavored with cherry cordial, not just cherries so my expectation was skewed. Still delicious.
Wildflower Honey: The texture is more firm than the Lemon Oil one, but the ganache is still impeccably smooth. The flavor is of a milder, more milky dark chocolate with an added sweetness to it. You don't taste the honey until the aftertaste, as the chocolate flavor washes away and you taste the flowery, earthy flavor of the honey.
Whiskey Ganache: This bonbon is firmer texture than the others. The chocolate is sweet and is immediately cut by the flavor of the whiskey. It's got that nice alcoholic flavor without any of the burn.
Overall I was really impressed by these bonbons. They were flavorful and exciting, two things that I rarely find in a bonbon together. Now I just gotta get back to Max Brenner for more of these, and maybe some dessert this time.

1. It is gratifying that whaling regulations have not been eased at the recent meeting of the international commission that oversees the "harvest" of marine�mammals, but beyond that news & its�egregious�metaphor,�I was fascinated by some of the information about�cetaceans in this NY Times article;�specifically, I was struck by the way the scientists quoted were defining personhood, if that's the right term.�Dolphins�(& presumably whales) are interested in seeing themselves in a mirror, checking out parts of their bodies they can't ordinarily see. The mirror test is presumed to to demonstrate self-consciousness, fair enough. My terriers will look at themselves in a mirror, but it's hard to tell whether they see themselves or an image of another dog. They don't behave as if they are seeing another dog, so perhaps they recognize themselves. �Birds will peck at their own image in a mirror & the behavior seems pretty complex. How about fish? I don't know, but I know some fish are territorial & might react as if another fish were horning in on their territory. I'm not trying to find fault with the mirror test, just noting that it is the human observer who views the animal's interaction with a mirror & makes a determination. We know what consciousness looks like, or personhood. This is more interesting to me than whether this or that animal reacts to a mirror in a certain way, as interesting as that is.
2. The vocalizations of cetaceans is often compared to music, or song, and somewhat less often (& less directly), to speech. They have tribal dialects, apparently, which suggests language�& since they can both learn & teach what they have learned, it appears that it might be something we would recognize as a real language, not just a highly elaborate system of communication. And here we get back to the issue of self-recognition. Language, too, is a mirror. I'm far from expert, but in addition to their vocal communications, don't at least some species of cetaceans produce & repeat long "symphonic" vocalizations and then work changes on them? If so, this would suggest a sense of the aesthetic in whales & dolphins, though perhaps it is only an elaborate kind of birdsong. [Need further information.]
3. Living in the country, Carole & I take delight in seeing & naming: birds (many species, including jays, woodpeckers, nuthatches, hawks, vultures, ducks, geese, several kinds of finches, bluebirds, thrushes. . .), turtles (painted, snapping), frogs & toads, beavers, skunks, porcupines, deer, and occasionally coyotes & bears. What is the source of our delight? Merely a�privilege�of the bourgeois, or something deeper?
4. Portrayals of damaged humans, usually children, in fact & fiction: Kasper Hauser, Victor (the Wild Child from 18 c. France; various accounts by Truffaut, T.C. Boyle, etc.), Malcolm (from Marisa Silver's novel The God of War), Christopher (from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime). By looking at what these damaged humans possess, as well as what they lack, we highlight the cluster of qualities that allow a person to create & recognize a self.�And connected to these accounts, there is the much more abstract set of arguments in Marilynne Robinson's�Absence of Mind that seem to suggest a special place in the universe for human consciousness. Not sure if I can accept the "fine tuning" of physical laws Robinson suggests (but does not assert), but that is not necessary to appreciate her�devastating�response to "parascientists" like Steven Pinker, Daniel Dennett, and the other reductionists who believe that, because the brain is a physical organ, mind & consciousness are epiphenomena, easily dismissed as ontologically inferior the the various tissues and juices of the brain.
5. Mind as extension in the Cartesian sense. Richard P. Bentall's Madness Explained: Psychosis and Human Nature argues�persuasively that "madness" is not one thing and is not separated by a bright line from other "normal" states of mind; in this vein, he sees mental complaints rather than a discrete set of mental illnesses that can be assigned a particular diagnosis.�He also brings forward an impressive amount of evidence that strongly suggests mental illness is a bio-social phenomenon.
Further thoughts a couple of days later: 1. Yesterday evening I was watching Jett, our seven year old Jack Russell as he stood on the deck looking down the road toward the river. There were some kids swimming down there & the other two dogs had been barking in that direction, but Jett was focused, his mouth a little open, his nose moving to sense the air almost as a human would feel a piece of fabric to get the sense of it. The other two dogs were excited, but he was calm, completely self-possessed. I've watched all the dogs over the years of course & each has his/her ways of focusing on the world & at the same time being themselves. In fact those two things go together — focusing intently on the world and being an animal self. This goes beyond�Santayana's notion of "animal faith," which is a kind of confidence that the world will be, perhaps roughly, supportive of our being.�For the philosopher, "animal faith" is a common ground for animals & humans, something we humans share with animals but also then surpass in all the usually enumerated ways: reason, language, technology & so on.
2.Over the years I've had many encounters with animals that have gone beyond mere observation into something more profound and, I believe, reciprocal, though I don't want to sentimentalize the notion of reciprocity– I understand that the heron I saw 25 years ago on an estuary near the Pacific "understood" our encounter in the same way I understood it, but the bird did look back at me and allowed me to come quite close & was clearly conscious of me. Wild animals are one thing & domesticated animals another. I freely admit to sentimentalizing our dogs, but I also spend a good deal of time just watching them, trying to understand something about the way they understand the world. Their sensory organs filter the world for them in a way different from mine, of course, but there is enough overlap — we're all�mammals�– that we can make sense of each others' sensory worlds. Also, we share a social world of complex personal interactions that allow us to communicate our sense of the world. And of course we observe each other in action and draw conclusions, seeing the world, in imaginative reconstruction, "through each others' eyes."
3.So what kind of cross-species identification does it take to get on a jet ski in the�Antarctic�Ocean to attack a Japanese whaling vessel & through acid at its crew?

Hi has anyone ever try this Advanced Cell Training thing? What does it intail and what have you gained from it? I don't really get how it works from the web site is it a drink? Do explain if you know. Or is it a scam to try and trick us Lymies yet again?

It's a drink. I think there are many ways to nourish the body without spending tons of money but that's just me. Sounds like snake oil to me.

There's also a (supposed) healing method called Advanced Cell Therapy, which used to be called IRT (don't remember what that stood for)....If you pay them (and I paraphrase), they will train you to change your cells, or something, like mind over matter....
Although I'm all for positive thinking, meditation, etc., I've never heard of anyone healed from lyme by using ACT.
You can google Advanced Cell Therapy and find their website or facebook site.

Why is it when one crab tries to climb up out of the bucket, the other crabs pull 'em back down? Please don't steal each others hope. The leading cause of death in Lyme Disease sufferers is suicide. So, how about encouraging each other instead of being so quick to misinform someone of something you know little about. Advanced Cell Training is recommended by one of the Lyme specialists in Connie Strasheim's book, Insights into Lyme Disease Treatment. It is also written about in Bryan Rosner's book, 2008 Lyme Disease Annual Report. Does that sound like a scam to you? I did ABX, Salt/VitC, The Zapper, and Advanced Cell Training. Want to know the truth? Do your own research and don't depend on advice from others that have never tried it. Go on Facebook and search, "Advanced Cell Training" and read two pages of posts left by Lyme sufferers that are winning the battle. There is hope... I'm living proof you can beat it. Good luck! :)

Glad it worked for you.
Nobody hear is trying to steal anyones hope. What on EARTH do you know about any of us to make such a horridly offensive and hurtful statement? WAndairoo was asking for opinions.... That's what we did. We shared wgat we thought. Your statement might have actually inspired me to further investigate if it hadn't have come across so unkind.
No crabs in this bucket ... Just humans deep in crisis. Including you, I suppose, or you wouldn't be here.
Wandairoo.... Did i crush your hope? I really am sorry if anything I said did that.

I wasn't sure if we were talking about a drink, a gadget, or what. Even when something works on the placebo effect, if it helps, I'm all for positive results.
Speaking of positive, let's all try to see the good in each other and not jump to criticism and judgment. DailyHope, I know that you're new here, and were probably well intended in wanting to make sure people know that ACT has helped many. (But your post felt like an attack and could do the opposite of what you intended- alienate people from being open to alternative therapies.) What you probably don't know is that from time to time, scammers come on here and try to take advantage of lyme patients who have suffered for years, feel horrible and desperate. We try to protect one another....

Wow Dailyhope,
i am confused because I don't see anywhere on either of the replies where someone has put down or "stoled" anyones hope. I think it is a very good thing when people express their opionions and ideas. Not everyone has the same outcomes and it is good to know that it has or hasn't helped someone out.
I do agree that doing your own research is essential and is key but people would not be posting here and asking questions if they did not want others opionions. For you to make those statements is wrong, I don"t know who you were referring it too.
|View More Posts Ignore
Am I confused? Because it looks to me like wandairoo came here asking for different opinions or personal experiences with this Advanced Cell Training, and people who responded, responded out a sense of wanting to help.
No one, you included, DailyHope can presume to know what another person does or doesn't know. If leaping to conclusions were an Olympic event, you'd be a contender on this one.
We all have our own, unique set of personal experiences and what works for one person in terms of therapy for Lyme would be another person's poison at worst or just ineffectual. It's one thing to come here and offer someone your hopeful story, but denigrating others is unwelcome at best. Let's keep this board civil and kind, as requested by those who offer us this wonderful forum.
If there were one magic bullet to fight this illness, then I'm certain that we would all be more than grateful. Sadly, there isn't.
And wandairoo, you seemed to wonder if this was for real, or yet another *trick* as you put it. I hope that the direction that thread has taken doesn't keep you from finding what you were looking for. Good luck!

I gave my opinion, followed by facts. Advanced Cell Training is not a drink, but you stated that as if it were a fact. I encourage everyone to try keep trying different treatments until you find what works for them. I didn't see anyone encourage wandairoo. All I saw was misinformation and negativity. Snake oil? I find that offensive. Please do a little research before you make such comments.

I stand corrected. I confused it with Advanced Cell Therapy.

Well we're all pretty happy here with one another and how we treat one another with respect and love and how we encourage one another. I sure don't see anything discouraging or wrong in any of these posts except for daily hope who seems to be very condescending. Since you are new, perhaps you could read alot of the different posts to see how they flow before assuming the worst of us. I don't want to treat you like you have treated others here, but really you come off as pretty hard hitting. Perhaps it's your use of comparing us to crabs, much more offensive than "snake oil", which sadly abounds in the natural treatment realm. It all came off as rather hurtful, and one thing about lyme, it makes one very sensitive to being hurt. Standstrong you are the force behind the strength of this group, so brush it off. You don't owe an apology. daily hope I'm sure you are a very nice person who just got off on a bad start. As you can see, we are very protective of one another. Stick around, and try to phrase things in love and you'll see we defend you too. You'll find we're all very forgiving and have open arms to receive a fellow lymie. Let's lock arms and continue forward in faith and love and the hope we have ALWAYS offered one another.

CLAIM: Marilyn Manson Engaged to Seraphim Ward
"Marilyn Manson is engaged after a five-week courtship," claims Life & Style.
The site goes on to say the singer "proposed to his 27-year-old girlfriend, actress and filmmaker, Seraphim Ward, Thursday night."
According to a friend of Ward who's quoted in the Life & Style piece, "Marilyn proposed with a family ring. I think it was his grandmother's. It's Celtic, and Seraphim says it has a magical bonding to the receiver."
The actress then tweeted a photo of a diamond ring on Saturday with the caption, "OMG!" and then wrote on Sunday, "I am still speechless and in shock!"
OK… but is she really engaged to Manson?
While Ward's manager seemingly tried to perpetuate the rumor, telling Gossip Cop, "Seraphim is indeed in a serious and recently committed relationship and very happy," Manson's manager tells us the engagement report is "totally false."
His publicist adds, "Marilyn Manson is not engaged to Seraphim Ward. He has never met her."

h3. Seroquel XR (quetiapine) Approved for Maintenance Treatment to Prevent Recurrence of Bipolar Disorder
AstraZeneca announced that once-daily Seroquel XR (extended-release tablets) has been approved in Ireland for the prevention of recurrence of bipolar disorder (BD) in patients whose manic, mixed or depressive episode has responded to quetiapine treatment.
Following this new indication, quetiapine is the only agent approved in the European Union to treat all phases of bipolar disorder – acute depressive episodes, acute manic episodes and maintenance treatment to prevent recurrence of any mood event in bipolar disorder. The mechanism of action of quetiapine involves both antipsychotic and antidepressant activities, which may help explain its efficacy across the spectrum of mood episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a lifelong psychiatric condition that affects 3-5% of adults worldwide. Although many BD patients achieve remission after treatment of an acute episode, bipolar disorder is a chronic illness and patients remain at risk of experiencing a recurrence. As a result, long-term maintenance treatment to prevent recurrence is a vital part of managing the condition.
The authorisation was based on one long-term study (1,2) (up to 2 years treatment) evaluating recurrence prevention in patients with manic, depressed or mixed mood episodes.
Study Design
Patients were treated for an acute manic, mixed or depressed episode and stabilised for at least 4 consecutive weeks on quetiapine, then randomised to continue quetiapine (300-800mg/day) or switched to either lithium (target serum 0.6-1.2mEq/L) or placebo for up to 104 weeks or until a recurrent mood event. The primary endpoint was time to recurrence of any mood event.
Time to recurrence of a mood event longer with quetiapine
Time to recurrence of any mood event was significantly longer in patients continuing with quetiapine versus switching to placebo (p<0.0001), in patients switching to lithium versus placebo (p<0.0001), and in patients continuing quetiapine versus switching to lithium (p=0.005).
Less patients experienced a mood event with quetiapine
A total of 22.5% experienced a mood event in the quetiapine group, compared to 51.5% in the placebo group and 26.1% in the lithium treatment group. In patients who responded to quetiapine, the results indicated that a switch to lithium treatment does not appear to be associated with an increased time to recurrence of a mood event compared to continued treatment with quetiapine.
The study was terminated when interim analysis provided positive results.
About Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a chronic, lifelong psychiatric condition that causes dramatic and severe mood swings.
It is estimated that the worldwide prevalence of bipolar disorder is 3-5% (about 222 million adults).
Up to half of all individuals with bipolar disorder make at least one suicide attempt in their lifetime, and approximately 10-15 percent complete suicide.
BD I vs. BD II
Bipolar I disorder is the classic form of the disease, characterised by recurrent episodes of mania and depression. Bipolar II disorder involves one or more episodes of major depression with at least one episode of mild to moderate mania (hypomania), but never full mania.
Bipolar disorder is often misdiagnosed as unipolar depression. This misdiagnosis can lead to treatment that may exacerbate the disease. In fact, many patients face up to ten years without appropriate treatment before a correct diagnosis is made.
Bipolar disorder is typically managed through a treatment strategy with several phases – including acute and maintenance phases. In the acute phase, the aim is to improve the acute symptoms of the patient; the maintenance treatment phase aims to reduce the risk of recurrence of future episodes.
These results demonstrate that quetiapine is an effective treatment that reduces the long-term risk of recurrence of manic, mixed or depressive episodes in bipolar disorder.
"This new authorisation for Seroquel XR provides patients with the important new option of a single agent for the treatment of bipolar disorder", said Hans Eriksson, MD, Medical Science Director for AstraZeneca.

Since employers use the resumé as a screening device, your resumé is you. In the end, employers are interested in only one thing. They want to learn abo...

5 Steps To Landing The Job: How To Follow Up After A Job Interview
by Michelle Dumas - Mar, 2013
The job interview is over. You rerun it in your mind, probably repeatedly. In so doing, however, you're actually distracting yourself from taking steps that may still impact whether you get the job or not. After all, there's no point in herding "COWS" (Coulda, oughta, woulda, shoulda). What you should do is follow up after the interview.

Industrial compressed air incorporates large quantities of bulk liquid condensate. The removal of this condensate is of paramount importance, in order to protect the compressed air network, facilitate the operation of downstream equipment and reduce the system's overall operating and maintenance costs.
Hypersep represents a highly effective solution to this need, removing more than 99% of the liquid condensate present in the compressed air network.
Hypersep's extremely reliable spinner operation does not require any maintenance. A full range of models with threaded and flanged air connections, and for air flows up to over 200m3/min. covers all user needs.
High pressure versions, stainless steel configurations and models with vertical air inlets cater for those applications not covered by the standard range. Hypersep is perfectly suited for installation after the air compressor, as well as for point of use installation in numerous industrial applications.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – Cameron Wilson and Patrick Rodgers are in a three-way tie for first along with Washington's Trevor Simsby through 36 holes Saturday at the Western Intercollegiate. The threesome will turn on the heat for the tournament's coveted blue jacket Sunday at the par-70 Pasatiempo Golf Club.
A win for Rodgers would be his fourth straight to bring him one shy of Tiger Woods' school-record 11 titles, and a win for the Cardinal would be its second consecutive after capturing The Goodwin crown two weeks ago at Stanford Golf Course.
Wilson has a chance for his second win on the season to give him bookend victories as the senior lefty won the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational in September.
Rodgers went 65-69 for a 6-under and Wilson turned in the same total with consecutive rounds of 67. The duo helped put No. 6 Stanford atop the leaderboard with a 4-under 696 (347-349), six shots better than second-place Washington. No. 3 Cal is 4-over and third among the 14-team field.
"The guys played well today, and it's nice to have a lead going into the final round in this very competitive field," said Conrad Ray, the Knowles Family Director of Men's Golf. "I was proud of the way that we hung in there and eliminated big mistakes today. We dropped a few shots on the last hole, but nonetheless are happy with how the day turned out. There is a lot of golf left.
"We had solid contributions from everyone on the team, and it will be neat to see Cameron and Patrick fight it out for the individual title."
Rodgers' opening 65 came with seven birdies, five of which came on the back nine. He was 2-under in his second round until closing with a bogey on 18. With only one bogey in each of his rounds, Wilson used an eagle on the par-5 ninth en route to his second-round 67.
Maverick McNealy followed a 1-over with a 1-under for an even-par 240 and a share of 14th-place. David Boote was the fourth Cardinal in the top 20, tying for 18th at 1-over.
Viraat Badhwar was even on the front nine in his two rounds but 9-over on the back with scores of 74 and 75.
Playing as an individual, Dominick Francks is tied for 18th with rounds of 70 and 71, and Patrick Grimes shaved seven shots of his opening 18 to close the day with a 72.
Jim Liu rebounded from an opening-round 12-over with a 73.

In an effort to get fans excited for the launch of Minecraft on the new generation of consoles later this summer, 4J Studios has released a new batch of screenshots for the upcoming Xbox One Edition of the popular creative franchise. The developer shared the images with the official website for Xbox Live Arcade who, in turn, posted the screenshots on June 26 for all to enjoy.
The images instantly show off a couple of the advantages that gamers will experience over last-gen versions of Minecraft. As can be seen from the screens, the new hardware will allow the Xbox One and Playstation 4 editions of the game to support a taller build limit that makes room for players to stack blocks higher in the sky. Additionally, the upcoming new-gen upgrades to Minecraft will also feature improved draw distances will allow gamers to see farther into the horizon than what was previously possible on consoles.
Both of these improved features that coming to Minecraft on Xbox One and Playstation 4, as shown in this week's newly released screenshots, will benefit greatly from the much larger world sizes that will appear on the new-gen versions of the game. 4J Studios has revealed that the new editions will be roughly 36 times larger than the map sizes that can currently be found in Minecraft on the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.
Players will also be able to import their existing Minecraft console save files over to the Xbox One and Playstation 4. Eventually, the game will automatically resize the old game worlds to accommodate the new larger maps. Unfortunately, the developer recently revealed that the titles won't likely launch with a rescaling option so fans will have to wait for a future update in order to enlarge their last-gen world seeds.
Minecraft is scheduled to release on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 later this summer. 4J Studios is also currently developing a handheld version of the game for the PS Vita that will launch at the same time.

Disasters in Southeast Asia's megacities: protecting the informal sector
Authors: Sofiah Jamil and Mushahid Ali, RSIS
The Jakarta floods in January are yet another testament of the vulnerabilities faced by Southeast Asia's megacities in recent years.
Storms and deluges have destroyed infrastructure and property in centres of economic activity — from Bangkok to Jakarta and Manila — and disrupted the livelihoods of many of their inhabitants.
Such climate events pose a threat to the economies of Southeast Asia and to ASEAN-level initiatives to promote growth, given the heavy economic losses. Damage from the 2011 floods around Bangkok was estimated at US$44 billion, while the recent Jakarta floods, according to Indonesia's central bank, could potentially raise inflation by about 0.2 per cent.
The attention given to the economic ramifications of climate events has, however, not extended to the informal sector. Not only are people from the informal sector among the worst affected by floods, they also play an important role in supporting economic development. They form an integral element of the economies of those cities by making up 50–60 per cent of the workforce in many Southeast Asian cities.
The sector provides a range of products and services integral to urban economies including affordable food and transportation. It also plays a role in supporting companies in the formal sector and is a source of employment for the urban poor. Megacities face the challenge of having to tackle urban climate risks more generally and the vulnerabilities faced by the informal sector and the urban poor more specifically. In the wake of the 2009 Manila floods caused by Typhoon Ketsana and the 2011 Bangkok floods, the Philippines introduced new legislation to mainstream disaster risk reduction (DRR) mechanisms into climate change adaptation (CCA) measures. In Thailand, the government formulated water management and flood prevention schemes in early 2012 worth over US$9 billion. It also increased intergovernmental cooperation with countries well versed in disaster management such as Japan. However, challenges remain both at the macro level and local implementation level.
A major challenge is the need for a dramatic increase in funding. According to the Asian Development Bank, the Asia Pacific would need around US$40 billion per year up until 2050 for CCA measures. This is much higher than what is available: according to the estimates for 2009–10, only US$4.4 billion was available for adaptation activities globally. For developing countries, it would certainly need immense political will to commit the substantial amounts required.
Another concern is that while most plans currently provide for immediate disaster relief, not enough support is given to longer-term rehabilitation efforts. Megacities that seek to address climate vulnerabilities also face several implementation difficulties, especially at the local level and in addressing the specific needs of informal sector workers. The increasing frequency and intensity of typhoons has meant a narrower time frame in which to ensure that an initiative is successfully adopted or to rebuild after a disaster. In the Philippines, an average of 19 typhoons occur annually with about six to eight making landfall.
In addition, depending on the level of preparedness of an area, floods may take a considerable amount of time to subside. In the case of the floods in Thailand in July 2011 the waters did not fully subside until January 2012.
Difficulties in coordinating efforts between different government levels and agencies contribute to inefficiencies in implementation. For instance, in the Philippines, not only does the Aquino administration have to coordinate with various municipalities across Manila's metropolitan area and factor in the high costs of infrastructure projects, it also has to deal with legal battles as a result of uncompleted flood management projects left by the previous government. Lack of coordination has also been highlighted as an issue facing the Thai government.
Lack of support from the government is another challenge. In the Philippines, the government has stalled a project for on-site in-city resettlement worth US$245 million. In Indonesia, Governor of Jakarta, Joko Widodo, had launched a similar initiative at the end of 2012 aimed at allowing riverbank dwellers to live in their current areas but in better-organised housing. However, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to overcome similar challenges on top of managing possible floods in the months ahead. That said, there may be a silver lining in the Jakarta deluge. Relevant stakeholders, such as state-owned housing developer Perum Perumnas, are progressively moving ahead with building the low-cost apartments for flood victims.
Several civil society organisations (CSOs) have taken up tasks that national or local governments have not been able to implement. By first gaining the trust of poor communities, CSOs have been able to work with them to formulate better solutions that integrate the needs of the poor into DRR and CCA programs. These efforts encompass diverse needs, including primary concerns relating to health, housing and employment.
There is also scope to implement initiatives that improve the ability of urban areas to mitigate flood disasters while also meeting the socio-economic needs of the most vulnerable sections of society. In Manila and Jakarta, improper waste disposal has resulted in clogged drainage systems, exacerbating the impact of flooding. In response, CSOs have supported community recycling projects that provide waste-pickers with jobs, thus empowering local communities.
It is important not only to protect but also empower citizens involved in Southeast Asia's urban informal sector. To mitigate the effects of the weather-related disasters that are occurring with increasing frequency and intensity, a well-coordinated combination of technical, socio-economic and political capabilities is essential. Failure to do so will not only increase urban vulnerabilities but also result in lost opportunities to build national economies and, in turn, an economically strong Southeast Asia.

Elephants aren't exactly subtle. At up to thirteen feet tall and around fifteen thousand pounds, they're not the sort of pet you can hide from the landlord or sneak into a café in your purse. But their presence is a touch more delicate on this Elephant Print Top ($23), which has just the lightest, shimmeriest suggestion of pachyderm.

|Enhanced luminescence and nonlinear optical properties of nanocomposites of ZnO–Cu
|Litty, Irimpan; Nampoori, V P N; Radhakrishnan, P
|In this article, we present the spectral and nonlinear optical properties of ZnOCu nanocomposites prepared by colloidal chemical synthesis. The emission consisted of two peaks. The 385-nm ultraviolet (UV) peak is attributed to ZnO and the 550-nm visible peak is attributed to Cu nanocolloids. Obvious enhancement of UV and visible emission of the samples is observed and the strongest UV emission of a typical ZnOCu nanocomposite is over three times stronger than that of pure ZnO. Cu acts as a sensitizer and the enhancement of UV emission are caused by excitons formed at the interface between Cu and ZnO. As the volume fraction of Cu increases beyond a particular value, the intensity of the UV peak decreases while the intensity of the visible peak increases, and the strongest visible emission of a typical ZnOCu nanocomposite is over ten times stronger than that of pure Cu. The emission mechanism is discussed. Nonlinear optical response of these samples is studied using nanosecond laser pulses from a tunable laser in the wavelength range of 450650 nm, which includes the surface plasmon absorption (SPA) band. The nonlinear response is wavelength dependent and switching from reverse saturable absorption (RSA) to saturable absorption (SA) has been observed for Cu nanocolloids as the excitation wavelength changes from the low absorption window region to higher absorption regime near the SPA band. However, ZnO colloids and ZnOCu nanocomposites exhibit induced absorption at this wavelength. Such a changeover in the sign of the nonlinearity of ZnOCu nanocomposites, with respect to Cu nanocolloids, is related to the interplay of plasmon band bleach and optical limiting mechanisms. The SA again changes back to RSA when we move over to the infrared region. The ZnOCu nanocomposites show self-defocusing nonlinearity and good nonlinear absorption behavior. The nonlinear refractive index and the nonlinear absorption increases with increasing Cu volume fraction at 532 nm. The observed nonlinear absorption is explained through two-photon absorption followed by weak free-carrier absorption and interband absorption mechanisms. This study is important in identifying the spectral range and composition over which the nonlinear material acts as a RSA-based optical limiter. ZnOCu is a potential nanocomposite material for the light emission and for the development of nonlinear optical devices with a relatively small limiting threshold.

Business Ethics Played Out In The News
By drapeau on Sep 25, 2006
In the last few months, there have been a couple of stories in the news related to business ethics that got me wondering if Sun is behaving ethically. One story has involved the apparently widespread practice of backdating stock optinos. The other is the recent HP scandal involving them hiring people to get phone records of private citizens under false pretenses. This HP thing is getting nastier the more I learn about its details. Not to defend HP, but I could easily believe that HP is not unique here. Still, it's bad business ethics, and I suspect HP will be penalized for this incident somehow, whether by the SEC or the market.
But on the stock options backdating issue, I saw some nice news about Sun. I had been watching the news to see if Sun has ever been mentioned as one of the companies that practiced backdating, and hadn't seen anything. Then I saw this news story today, entitled Sun Microsystems Shines With Stock Options Disclosure. It pretty much says that Sun has been completely above board about how it handles options pricing. The quote at the end of the article says it all: any additional disclosure — particularly from a company that hasn't been caught — is welcome and is certainly worthy of a rare footnoted.org gold star.
My belief (and hope) is that, over the long run, doing the right thing gets rewarded. I feel pretty good working for a company that doesn't have these pesky legal issues to worry about. I don't have to be ashamed of the company for which I work, and in my book, that's a pretty big deal.

On March 12, TV By the Numbers and the Discovery Channel revealed details and the highly anticipated premiere date for the landmark tenth season of "Deadliest Catch," one of the network's most popular shows. The fleet of crab fishermen returns in 2014 on April 22 with new challenges, new faces, and new ocean adventures that challenge even the most seasoned veterans of the Bering Sea.
In anticipation of the big premiere of "Deadliest Catch," Discovery plans on airing a recap special that begins at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15. The following week, "The Bait," will air at 8 p.m. on April 22 to give fans an insider look at the upcoming premiere episode, as told by the boat captains. They'll talk fishing, high seas drama and what's in store this season, the tenth for "Deadliest Catch."
The new season premieres at 9 p.m. EST and PST on April 22 on the Discovery Channel. In 2014, "Deadliest Catch" will focus on both veteran skippers and new young guns like Josh Harris and Mandy, Captain Hansen's 18-year-old daughter. This season, Phil's son, Josh Harris, returns as captain and owner of the Cornelia Marie. Can he continue his father's legacy? There are also big changes on the Northwestern, run by Sig Hansen. When his daughter joins the crew, will the captain be able to treat her equally in a harsh world that's dominated by men?
In the 2014 premiere episode, the opening of crab season comes and goes when the captains are grounded by politics. For the first time in nearly two decades, a government shutdown brings Washington, D.C. to a screeching halt - with its far-reaching effects going well beyond the nation's capitol.
Eventually the shutdown ends, but it's just the beginning of excruciating and backbreaking work for the captains and their crews. Up against a ticking clock of a shortened season, a late start means greater competition than ever before. With a deadline to offload looming and millions of dollars on the line, the captains must lay down the hammer and fish through treacherous weather in hopes of catching their crab on time. With less time and their income at stake, how much can they push their crews before major injury – or even death – strikes?
With the stakes greater than ever, it isn't long before drama hits the Bering Sea. A boat goes up in flames; another runs aground while many more earn record-breaking profits. When the smoke clears, one captain finds himself in rehab and another wakes up in a hospital. Forty-foot waves, hurricane force winds, heavy-machinery, and massive icebergs are just a few reasons that no season is ever the same on "Deadliest Catch." Surrounded by death and a multitude of injuries, these brave men struggle to return from man's oldest journey alive.
The 10th season of "Deadliest Catch" premieres at 9 p.m. EST and PST on April 22, 2014 on Discovery Channel. For a preview, be sure to check out the video above.
About "Deadliest Catch" on Discovery Channel:
"Deadliest Catch" features the Bering Sea's toughest crews and takes viewers through some of the roughest situations the captains and fishermen must face on the high seas. From treacherous weather conditions to crew conflict to the death of beloved Captain Phil Harris, "Deadliest Catch" brings viewers into the intimate and highly dangerous world of crab fishing.
"Deadliest Catch" premiered on the Discovery Channel on April 12, 2005 and currently airs in over 150 countries. The highly popular series has won a total of 10 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Reality Program in 2011.

Hi All
We have customized all the steps of tolerance of GL account open item clearing--
SPRO- Financial accounting- GL accounting- Business transaction -open item clearing- clearing differences - Define tolerance group for GL accounts-
Here we maintained blank tolerance group for a company code and given debit and credit limit - 100 inr
Then we did define tolerance group for Employees - Here we maintained limits with blank tolerance group..
Then we did Assign user to tolearnce group- this is blank as we want all the employee should cover under the above tolerance, hence a common user name is assigned to blank tolerance group.
Then we assign GL accounts for Clearing differences.
Now at the time of GL account clearing via F-03 or FB05 , if debit credit amount has difference of any amount ,whether less than 100 INR or more than 100 INR, system is not auto posted the difference in the GL account specified above for differences, it is giving error - difference is too large for clearing. message no.F5263.
Can anyone suggest how system will post automatically in the clearing difference account.
Hi Mukta,
You can get resolution for the issue in the below mentioned links.
Let me know if you need more clarification.
Hi Diwakar
Thanks for your response.
Actually for foreign currency differences system is working fine and posting the exchange rate differences in the account of expense / gain which I maintained in FBKP.
Also my global settings allow me to clear local currency vs forien currency diff in the expense/gain account which I maintained in FBKP.
BUT I need to know when the clearing difference account ( not the expense/gain account of FBKP for exch rate difference) will hit. Which I maintained against the tolerance of GL account clearing differences.
I want to clear a GL account debit and credit item say of 100 INR debit and 99 INR credit and at the time of GL clearing want system to post automatically the difference of 1 INR into the clearing differences account. I do not want to use partial / residual payment differences, since this hits the same GL account for the diffrence amount and not the clearing difference account. Ideally if tolerance allowed, system should post the clearing differences to the GL account defined against it under the SPRO- Financial accounting-GL accounting- Bus transaction- open item clearing- clearing differences- Define GL account for Clearing differences.
If you can give some light on this please.

1. IASB Board members and staff frequently receive enquiries from our constituents. Those enquiries can come in a variety of forms, including:
2. The IASB does not encourage constituents to submit technical enquiries, nor do we provide a formal technical enquiry service. We do not have the resources to do so. However, it is in our interest to hear about the problems that our constituents encounter.
Technical enquiries also provide us with important information about developing practice. We should always be open to discuss technical topics. Our goal is to be helpful, but not to substitute individual judgements by Board members and staff for the work of the Board and IFRIC.
3. Generally, any preparer, auditor, analyst, journalist, standard setter, regulator, or academic may call the IASB and raise a question. However, there are questions that Board members and IASB staff decline to answer:
4. Those who raise questions must understand that a response is the personal view of an individual member of the Board or its staff. The IASB encourages consultation among the Board and staff on technical matters. However, constituents must understand that responses, even after consultation, are not official positions of the IASB. Official positions of the IASB on technical matters are found in Standards and Interpretations.
5. Accounting firms and industry groups often prepare guidance on the implementation of IFRS. These publications perform an important role in providing specialised guidance and answering implementation questions.
6. Guidance materials often have a long shelf life and sometimes take on an unofficial (but very real) status as accounting guidance. Because of this, the Directors must clear all requests to review guidance materials.
7. Before we can accept a request to review materials, the submitting organisation must agree to make whatever changes are proposed by the IASB team. We understand that some groups may be reluctant to accept that condition and will decide to go ahead without involving the IASB. Once a request is accepted, a small team of IASB Board members and staff to do the review. A staff member then assembles the comments and forwards them to the authors.
8. Organisations that request review must explicitly accept some limitations:
9. National standard-setters play an important role in the IASB process. Their questions can provide information about the application of our standards in particular jurisdictions and problems that local entities may be encountering. We strive to be cooperative with national standard-setters, whether or not they are designated as liaison bodies.
10. National standard-setters sometimes take on the role of intermediaries between local constituents and the IASB. This can be helpful, as a standard-setter can help to frame questions and make the process more efficient.
However, we recognise that a response may ultimately have broad dissemination. There is a risk that, without careful attention, differing interpretations may develop in different jurisdictions. For that reason, we may suggest that questions be referred to the IFRIC agenda committee for consideration.
11. IASB Board members and staff frequently receive questions from securities, bank, and insurance regulators. We strive to cooperate with regulators. They are often our best source of information about how are standards are applied in practice.
The general principles outlined in this policy apply to inquiries received from regulators as well.
