When viewing my presentation please keep the following points in mind:
1. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice;
2. There is no script, plugin, widget, block of code, or third-party service which will make your site 100% legally compliant through the simple acts of installation and activation, particularly in WordPress which has a unique issue or two. There is no easy solution to EU Cookie Law compliance full stop. The existing solutions on the market approach a compliance solution but do not achieve it in and of itself. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is selling you snake oil. To that end, all comments "suggesting" or selling EU cookie compliance "solutions" will be deleted.
3. If performed incorrectly your compliance process can destroy the authenticity and accessibility of your site. A site whose ethos is destroyed through overly literal compliance is worse than a site which openly rejects compliance.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Morgs99 Comfiest pants ever I ordered a different pair of Nike sweat pants a couple weeks ago and they looked really bad. They ran a size too big, were bulky, and looked like old man pants. I decided to give Nike another try and order these in a gray xs. The pants are so comfortable and cute. I love the logo band around the waist, as well as the cuffs at the feet. Yes, they are expensive, but Victoria's Secret sweat pants run around the same price for half the fabric. These pants are thick and will not fall apart. Overall, the pants are flattering and I would definitely recommend them. June 8, 2016

Two Sydney radio jocks who prank-called a London hospital
where Prince William's pregnant wife was being treated have
been taken off the air after the death of a nurse at the
centre of the hoax.
Sydney 2Day FM presenters Mel Greig and Michael Christian
have been told not to comment on the matter which made
international news and has been linked to the death of
respected nurse and mother Jacintha Saldanha, 46.
A statement from 2Day FM's parent company, Southern Cross
Austereo (SCA), said it is "deeply saddened by the tragic
"Chief executive officer Rhys Holleran has spoken with the
presenters, they are both deeply shocked and at this time we
have agreed that they not comment about the circumstances,"
the statement said.
"SCA and the hosts have decided that they will not return to
their radio show until further notice out of respect for what
can only be described as a tragedy."
Police are not treating Ms Saldanha's death as suspicious and
numerous British media outlets have labelled it a suicide.
She was unable to be revived after being found unconscious at
nursing staff accommodation near London's exclusive King
Edward VII Hospital at 9.35am (local time) on Friday.
Ms Saldanha earlier this week answered a call to the hospital
from Greig and Christian posing as the Queen and Prince
Charles. She was taken in and passed the call to the ward
The pair were given confidential details on the condition of
the Duchess of Cambridge, who was being treated for acute
morning sickness.
"We can confirm that Jacintha was recently the victim of a
hoax call ...," hospital chief executive John Lofthouse told
reporters on Friday afternoon, confirming her death.
Earlier in the week, Mr Lofthouse described the prank as
"foolish" and said the hospital would review its telephone
protocol as a result. Ms Saldanha was not disciplined over
the incident.
He described Ms Saldanha, married and with two children, as a
"first-class nurse who cared diligently for hundreds of
"Everyone is shocked by the loss of a much-loved and valued
colleague. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her
family and her friends," he said.
A brief statement from relatives said Ms Saldanha's family
was "deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Jacintha" and
asked for "privacy at this difficult time".
News of Ms Saldanha's death was acknowledged by the royal
"Their royal highnesses were looked after so wonderfully well
at all times by everybody at King Edward VII Hospital, and
their thoughts and prayers are with Jacintha Saldanha's
family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time," said a
statement issued by St James's Palace.
A royal aide confirmed to Sky News that no complaint was
lodged with the hospital following the prank.
Greig and Christian apologised for their "lighthearted"
prank, but have been bombarded with online abuse for their
stunt and have since disabled their Twitter accounts.

SALT LAKE CITY (June 22, 2014) The founder of a Mormon women's group who is facing excommunication will hold a vigil Sunday night in Salt Lake City along with hundreds of her supporters.
Meanwhile, church leaders in her former congregation in Virginia will discuss whether to excommunicate Kate Kelly from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
It's not clear when Kelly will be notified of the decision.
Kelly decided not to attend the disciplinary hearing in her former congregation, instead sending in letters from her supporters.
As the leader of Ordain Women, Kelly is accused of apostasy, which is repeated and public advocacy of positions that oppose church teachings.
Mormon officials aren't discussing Kelly's case, but say that disciplinary hearings are held when members' actions contradict church doctrine and lead others astray.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - A judge in Talladega has sentenced Fred
Walker to life in prison for killing his boss at a motorcycle shop.
Walker was convicted by a jury on March 1 for the intentional killing of Jerry Harrell in 2006.
Walker was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and testimony showed Harrell was at the center of many of his delusions.
The testimony showed that Walker began exhibiting eccentricities
in his 20s, but the delusions gradually became darker.
Walker shot Harrell once in the back of the head, apologized to
co-workers and then called the Marshal Service, which, according to
testimony, he believed had ordered Harrell's death.
Prosecutors said the killing was motivated primarily by hatred.

Green Tea, Black Tea: Packed With Antioxidants
"The scientific evidence about tea is evolving and I think it's compelling," Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD, of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, tells WebMD.
Tea is a great example of the past decade's research of antioxidants, he says. "There is a pretty consistent body of evidence suggesting there is a benefit to tea. Tea is a very rich source of a specific kind of antioxidant called flavonoids."
The detoxifying effect of these antioxidants protects cells from free radicals, the damage that can lead to blood clot formation, atherosclerosis, and cancer, says Weisburger.
The bulk of research shows that regular tea drinkers, people who drink two cups or more a day, have less heart disease and stroke, lower total and LDL (often called "bad") cholesterol, and that they recover from heart attacks faster.
Some laboratory tests also show that black and green tea may help boost metabolism to aid weight loss, block allergic response, slow the growth of tumors, protect bones, fight bad breath, improve skin, protect against Parkinson's disease, and even delay the onset of diabetes.
In a study involving bladder cancer cells, green tea extract seemed to make the cancer cells behave oddly. They matured sooner, bound together tightly, and had a hard time multiplying. Another study found that men who drank oolong tea plus green tea extract lost more weight and total body fat, compared with men who drank plain oolong tea. Also, the green tea drinkers had lower LDL cholesterol.
Other small studies have found that the antioxidants from drinking tea can help prevent skin cancer. There's also evidence that tea extracts applied to the skin (in a lotion) can block sun damage that leads to skin cancer.
All this research seems to suggest that if you want to do something good for yourself, drink tea. "It has no calories and lots of polyphenols. If you're drinking tea, you're not drinking soda -- that's a real benefit. Water doesn't give you those polyphenols," says Blumberg.
Weisburger recommends drinking six to 10 cups of black or green tea throughout the day, starting with breakfast. Switch to decaf tea midday, if you need to. "Flavonoids are unchanged by removal of caffeine," he says.

I wanted to share a great charity event that the leader of my local Modern Quilt Guild is hosting! 100 Quilt For Kids is a quilt drive that is running from September 15-October 15. If you have the time, please consider making a quilt for a child in need and donating it to an organization in or around your area or through a nationwide organization. On top of managing this project, Kate is also hosting a Quilt Along for the quilt drive! Now you can make a snazzy new quilt while following along with cool people, then donate it and treat yourself to an ice cream! And who doesn't love ice cream!? (…If you don't love ice cream just don't tell me!) I will be donating my quilts (I'm hoping to finish three!) to a local organization through my quilt guild, and urge you to check out the details and see if it is a fit for you! (It should fit you, because everything fits you so well! Now that you have had a compliment and feel good, go make a quilt!)

I am currently wrangling some flannelette into blankets for an organisation called "Angels for the Forgotten" who work with children being placed in care. Isn't it wonderful that there are so many organisations and quilters out there willing to help others, particularly vulnerable children?
Thanks for putting out the word about the charity. I have some flannel that can I can turn into several quilts, and will be happy to donate them.
This requires that circuits are monitored repeatedly
and that each audible and visual indication is supplied for fault and fireplace

Skip to comments.Nano-breakthrough: Dramatic Increase In Thermoelectric Efficiency
Posted on 03/21/2008 5:08:59 AM PDT by saganite
Researchers at Boston College and MIT have used nanotechnology to achieve a major increase in thermoelectric efficiency, a milestone that paves the way for a new generation of products -- from semiconductors and air conditioners to car exhaust systems and solar power technology -- that run cleaner.
The team's low-cost approach, details of which are published in the journal Science, involves building tiny alloy nanostructures that can serve as micro-coolers and power generators. The researchers said that in addition to being inexpensive, their method will likely result in practical, near-term enhancements to make products consume less energy or capture energy that would otherwise be wasted.
The findings represent a key milestone in the quest to harness the thermoelectric effect, which has both enticed and frustrated scientists since its discovery in the early 19th century. The effect refers to certain materials that can convert heat into electricity and vice versa. But there has been a hitch in trying to exploit the effect: most materials that conduct electricity also conduct heat, so their temperature equalizes quickly. In order to improve efficiency, scientists have sought materials that will conduct electricity but not similarly conduct heat.
Using nanotechnology, the researchers at BC and MIT produced a big increase in the thermoelectric efficiency of bismuth antimony telluride -- a semiconductor alloy that has been commonly used in commercial devices since the 1950s -- in bulk form. Specifically, the team realized a 40 percent increase in the alloy's figure of merit, a term scientists use to measure a material's relative performance. The achievement marks the first such gain in a half-century using the cost-effective material that functions at room temperatures and up to 250 degrees Celsius. The success using the relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly alloy means the discovery can quickly be applied to a range of uses, leading to higher cooling and power generation efficiency.
"By using nanotechnology, we have found a way to improve an old material by breaking it up and then rebuilding it in a composite of nanostructures in bulk form," said Boston College physicist Zhifeng Ren, one of the leaders of the project. "This method is low cost and can be scaled for mass production. This represents an exciting opportunity to improve the performance of thermoelectric materials in a cost-effective manner."
"These thermoelectric materials are already used in many applications, but this better material can have a bigger impact," said Gang Chen, the Warren and Towneley Rohsenow Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT and another leader of the project.
At its core, thermoelectricity is the "hot and cool" issue of physics. Heating one end of a wire, for example, causes electrons to move to the cooler end, producing an electric current. In reverse, applying a current to the same wire will carry heat away from a hot section to a cool section. Phonons, a quantum mode of vibration, play a key role because they are the primary means by which heat conduction takes place in insulating solids.
Bismuth antimony telluride is a material commonly used in thermoelectric products, and the researchers crushed it into a nanoscopic dust and then reconstituted it in bulk form, albeit with nanoscale constituents. The grains and irregularities of the reconstituted alloy dramatically slowed the passage of phonons through the material, radically transforming the thermoelectric performance by blocking heat flow while allowing the electrical flow.
In addition to Ren and six researchers at his BC lab, the international team involved MIT researchers, including Chen and Institute Professor Mildred S. Dresselhaus; research scientist Bed Poudel at GMZ Energy, Inc, a Newton, Mass.-based company formed by Ren, Chen, and CEO Mike Clary; as well as BC visiting Professor Junming Liu, a physicist from Nanjing University in China.
Thermoelectric materials have been used by NASA to generate power for far-away spacecraft. These materials have been used by specialty automobile seat makers to keep drivers cool during the summer. The auto industry has been experimenting with ways to use thermoelectric materials to convert waste heat from a car exhaust systems into electric current to help power vehicles.
This research will be published online in Science Express on March 20, 2008. The research was supported by the Department of Energy and by the National Science Foundation
Does this mean better Peltier devices?
I don't know. It looks like it will have an application in utilizing any industrial waste heat to generate electricity though. There's no discussion of the efficiency of the process but I'm guessing anything that produces waste heat will see some benefit.
Also check out ENECO and Power Chips PLC.
It did not do so when similar work was done in 1990-1994 under NASA JPL funding for the SP-100 program.
Do a quick search in the MRS and NASA databases as well as a simple Google search and see all the patents and publications in this area.
If someone is at MIT they can get away with this kind of thing.
I am surprised Earth First isn't bombing the facility. This new technology will encourage the enslavement of Mother Earth because cheap power will expand consuption! Woe is us!
Only if the value of the generated electricity exceeds the cost of the equipment. I would think that if they had seen good cost efficiency, they would have put some numbers into the press release
We didn't even get in the NIT. sigh
This is just an improvement on old tech so I expect it will see lots of new uses since it's already in use. As for the article not saying much, that's pretty typical of the stories on ScienceDaily. They just present a brief synopsis of new tech and science with a note at the end saying when the paper will be published and in what publication. This paper should already be published since it says 20 March is the pub date.
"This research will be published online in Science Express on March 20, 2008. The research was supported by the Department of Energy and by the National Science Foundation"
Great news! I wonder what the conversion efficiency is though and how much power can be generated per degree/m2 or cm3?
This has staggering applications - rooftops and building faces, roads, cars - anything with thermal imbalances can be made to generate power. The same car sitting under the hot sun can be made to generate power to cool down its interior without depleting its battery or fuel. In short, a solid-state and much simpler thermal-electric system than geothermal or any other conventional electricity generator.
If the figure of merit is only increased by 40%, the efficiency will still be rather dismal. The figure of merit needs to be increased by at least an order of magnitude to see reasonable increases in efficiency.
This should improve the efficiency of thermoelectric nuclear power supplies for space missions also. One of the major drawbacks for exploration right now is the lack of electricity, especially during deep space missions, to power larger and more capable instruments. Since putting an actual nuclear power plant on board spacecraft has been nixed the next best method is putting nuclear material on board and using the heat from nuclear decay to power instruments. This should make that process more efficient.
So...an engine that puts out an enormous amount of heat, say during propulsion of a car, can be cooled and provide its own electricity by this new technology?
Please Freep Mail me if you'd like on/off
Here's a little more info that might help answer your question from another article.
Cooler cars
One promising application for the improved material is transforming waste heat from car engines into electricity to help power the vehicles. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has set a goal of demonstrating a 10% increase in vehicle fuel economy through waste heat capture by 2014, according to John Fairbanks of the DOE.
No commercially available vehicle uses the technology today, but tests by car manufacturers including BMW suggest a 6-8% fuel efficiency increase is possible, Fairbanks says.
"Adding a 40% efficiency increase in thermoelectrics to that might meet that target," Jeff Snyder, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, US, says.
The same approach could harvest human body heat to power medical implants although designing less power hungry devices is important too, Snyder notes.
Alternatively the improved alloy could be used in reverse for solid state cooling, without bulky pipes of gas or liquid coolant, in new areas. "We're not yet at the point where we will see air conditioning systems or large refrigerators with solid state cooling, but it's a significant advance," says Snyder.
I design Thermoelectric refrigerators .... I'd love a 40% improvement!
Yeah, it would be good for you but I'm wanting a thermoelectric car and or backup generator for my house.
40% doesn't get me there.
If this is your field, what do you think of ENECO? It seems to be a rather straight forward improvement in technology but I have heard nothing about product out the door.
Let me clarify.
A 40% improvement in figure of merit would not significantly improve the effiency of a thermo electric refrigerator, or thermo electric car.
Yes a 40% improvement in effiency would be great for you but I don't think that is what they are talking about.
I haven't done the calculations in a couple of decades but if memory serves the figure of merit affects the carnot effiency in a rather minimal way.
A 40% improvement of a low efficiency is still low. The Carnot efficiency is the maximum possible efficiency and is dependent on the temperatures of the heat source and sink.
In low grade heat applications, which these mostly are, the Carnot (theoretical) maximum efficiency is still very low. Not good enough to build an economy on, but it is a good way to obtain useful energy when there is no other way.
I think it's a company with only one asset .... a website. However any any improvement in this technology with be valuable.
The internal combustion engine in real world conditions gets about 20% Carnot efficiency. It certainly was good enough to build an economy on.
If they can manage 30% efficiency, they have a real chance to replace gasoline engines. At this level, they also compete well with steam turbine electrical generation.
If they can get to 50% then the diesel engine goes too.
At 10% if it is cheap enough, there are many reasonable applications such as alternator replacement and auxilliary electric power on semi trucks.
Peltier effects are cool and some real advances are being made but quantum gap devices offer some real alternatives and theoretical vast improvements in effiency.
Couple this with big advances in Solid Oxide fuel cells, the fundimental technology of modern society is going to change radically in the next twenty years.
Thanks for the ping.
Your comment about solid oxide fuel cells sent me off on a discovery tour from Wikipedia to current articles. As recently as this month some company is claiming 15KW/Litre density with their fuel cell. According to the article that would beat the then current best density by a factor of 4. I can see great applications for these things in generating emergency power, say after a hurricane, and power in remote sites. I'm sure the military is loving it. What is the potential of SOFC for large scale power production?
I was talking about low grade waste heat energy recovery in industry. If I am trying to use waste heat from steam condensate, the maximum heat available is at 212F, usually a bit less. If my heat sink in the summer is a cooling tower, I can manage 80F cool water temperature.
The carnot efficiency in this case is about 20%. This is the theoretical maximum efficiency. Real world efficiency is less, about 10 to 15% at best. The closer you get to perfect, the more it costs. Even at 20% efficiency (impossible under the conditions I just described), the savings on electricity would not pay back the investment before the thermo-electric devices would need replaced unless they become dirt cheap.
I was not talking about higher heat sources, where the carnot efficiency is higher and the economics are more favorable. However, call me a skeptic if you wish, but I'd be surprised that the cost and reliability (they go together) of a large scale generating system would ever compete financially with mechanical electricity generation. It will have it's place, just as solar, hydro, and wind will, but I think it will serve a supporting role and not the main role. For instance, I can see using thermo-electrics to capture heat in a power plant that leaks through insulation, or in vents to capture heat going to atmosphere. They would enhance the overall plant efficiency in that case.
The economics really all depend upon the price of fuel.
With cheap abundant coal and minimal emissions limits, the economics of a coal fired steam turbine are hard to beat.
With government pressure to limit stack emissions, there is going to be a real pressure on the power industry to burn less coal. I know the technology is still a few years away but there is a real posibility for the industry to change from turbine generation to SOFC generation. This has two main benefits, the primary generation is about 70% more efficient and the waste heat is of much higher quality. Instead of a delta of 120 degrees, you are looking at more than 500 degrees. It is enough to drive a secondary steam turbine or if the technology is ready, thermoelectric generators.
There are millions of dollars being invested in SOFC power generation both for small and large scale applications. Money is being invested because the potential benefits are huge. The fuel cells are significantly more efficient than current power plants and they put out high quality heat which in itself is useful.
We are just beginning to see products hitting the streets. The company you read about has the potential to shake up the market. They are expecting to get significantly better power density in the future. Their process is easier to manufacture in industrial quantities and have solved several problems that have plagued SOFC fuel cells most notably, seal leaks and low temperature connections to the cell.
It's nothing more than a solid state heat pump. They have been using this technology for ages to refrigerate a space, but it had very limited practical applications because it was so inefficient.
If this new version of the tech pans out, we will have refrigerators and airconditioners that have no moving parts and do not utilize freon or refrigerant of any kind. Just simply apply a voltage to a metal plate(or in this case, semiconductor material) and it will get cold.

BUDAPEST Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has ruled out holding an early election before 2014, dismissing speculation in the country's media. Orban's centre-right Fidesz party won an unprecedented two-thirds legislative majority at elections a year ago, allowing it to draft a new constitution, which parliament approved last week and is due to take effect on January 1, 2012.
Orban has said his government had a year to carry out public sector reforms, and media speculated he might call an election in 2012 after passing measures requiring a two-thirds majority, such as public finance legislation and an electoral law. However, on Sunday he said early election talk was unfounded.
"What good would it do Hungary? What good would it do Fidesz? What good would it do me personally? I just cannot find any argument in favour of such nonsense," Orban told private broadcaster TV2 in an interview.
Every government since the fall of Communism had tried to fulfil a full, four-year term, he added. "Why would this need to change?"
The new constitution has drawn protests from civil groups, which say it weakened democratic checks and balances in Hungary, which holds the European Union's rotating presidency until the end of June.
The next scheduled parliamentary election is due in 2014, which could be the first where ethnic Hungarians living elsewhere in central Europe could vote, if parliament approves Fidesz's planned changes to the electoral law.
Public support for Fidesz remains ahead of opposition parties, although recent opinion polls showed a decline since the government effectively renationalised savings in mandatory private pension funds and launched a flat personal income tax.
The government also launched a package of fiscal reforms and austerity measures last month to keep the deficit below 3 percent of gross domestic product in the coming years.

Don't need extra calcium,D3,K2,Manganese glycinate,Magnesium oxide & glycinate,Sink & Boron,in high IU's equaling 100? in each. D3 is 500% daily. As a 64 year old women my bones were brittle, broke a wrist at 58 during menopause, then started on Bone and my bone density is so good now I've been thrown from my horse 3 times,1 flat on my back, no broken bones,×really,I'm not kidding.

My suggestion to you would be to use those types of lifts (3-stage, 3-pull, triples/doubles) if you a) feel as if you have a flaw during a particular part of your movement, or b) are in a deload week. If you feel like you have a flaw, fit those types of lifts or complexes in with the respective days (i.e., if you have trouble with getting fully extended and getting under the bar, work triple of double hang/block snatches in on your snatch day). The active recovery/rest day should be just that -- a very light day to keep the joints "greased" up so that you don't wake up stiff and immobile the next day for heavy singles.
I particularly use 3-stage/3-pull + lift/complexes during my deload week when weights are much lighter. It's an opportunity to beat good technique into memory and make it become second nature. It also provides me an opportunity to take that entire week to actively recover and work on speed.
If I had to pinpoint a cycle that's worked for me, it would look something like this:
Week 1: Power (with heavy singles to full lifts at the end of the week)
Week 2: Hang (with heavy singles to full lifts at the end of the week)
Week 3: Deload towards end of the week -- 3 pulls + lift, complexes (e.g., 1 clean pull + 1 clean + 1 PP + 1 pause jerk ... at the end of the week, I go through my warm-up weights as if I were getting ready to compete in each lift)
Week 4: Taper off in the beginning in prep for classic lifts testing (mock meet)
Some might see my third week and not consider it a "deload," but I do taper off at the end of the third week into the fourth week in prep for my "mock meet." It looks a little confusing; however, due to my schedule, it works for me -- it took some time to find what works with my time. More importantly, I found out how
my time more effectively given my workload here. I wouldn't worry so much about volume as much as you are executing each lift correctly. Consistency, as you know, is key, and if you focus on numbers of lifts executed per week over making each lift count by putting your absolute mind, body, and soul into it, then you're going to burn out and become frustrated. The bar always wins in those situations; furthermore, you're exposing yourself to injury. I made that mistake about planning certain percentages and felt like I had to hit those numbers. I became obsessed with having to hit those numbers and felt like I wasn't improving if I wasn't hitting those weights. When I inevitably didn't hit those weights, I kept trying instead of realizing that I just didn't have it in me and was probably pulling all sorts of wrong. In reality, I was destroying myself -- I was always slow, in pain EVERY session, and just not adapting/recovering properly -- and lifting wasn't FUN anymore. I was making no progress by forcing that volume and load on me on top of just walking away frustrated from something I love to do. If I had gone off of feel, I think I would be performing at a higher level at this point. Some days you'll feel like a million bucks, and some days you'll feel like the bar alone might crush you -- listen to your body at all times. It doesn't lie to you. If you focus on volume, this may happen to you, too. Instead, focus on making each of those lifts count. Visualize the things you need to and execute -- good things will come from this.
Most of the time,
less is more
-- this was a HUGE lesson for me to learn and for my development. The beauty about the breakdown I gave you, in my opinion, is that it allows you to focus on particular movements exclusively for your daily training. For example, doing your classic lifts and then pulls gives you the opportunity to work on the technique of your lifts, while the pulls focus on developing the strength portion. Come the end of the week, you put them together for heavy singles.
I hope this makes sense and helps you in some way.

Die Wohnung ist super....einfach und sehr schön. Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Benjamin's apartment is very cozy and quiet. It is 3 min. walk to the nearest S-Bahn Beusselstrasse. The host is very helpful and nice, we were at home! Thanks for everything!
El apartamento de Benjamin es muy acogedor y tranquilo. Está a 3 min. andando de la estación S-Bahn Beusselstrasse. El anfitrión es muy atento y agradable, estuvimos como en casa!!! Gracias por todo!!!
Benjamin is a very nice host, welcoming and very attentive. It is available at any time. His apartment is identical to the photo, the extra bed is super comfortable. Apartment very well maintained, the location is perfect. We were able to enjoy all the city thanks to the metro stop (S-Bahn) which is 150m. Note that Benjamin put bath towels available (own!), Shower gel, shampoo .... and a guitar :) :) I would recommend this apartment to everyone ratio quality / price ratio.
Benjamin est un hôte vraiment très gentil, accueillant, et surtout très attentionné. Il est disponible à n'importe quel moment. Son appartement est identique à la photo, le lit en plus qui est super confortable. Appartement très bien entretenu, la localisation est parfaite. Nous avons pu profiter de toute la ville grace à l'arrêt de de metro (S-Bahn ) qui se trouve à 150m. Notons, que Benjamin mets à disposition draps de bains ( propres ! ), gel douche, shampoing.... et une guitare :) :)
Je conseille cet appartement à tout le monde, rapport qualité/prix imbattable.

Very nice, clean appartment. Lovely neighbourhood with a lot of restaurants and coffee places.
Benjamin is a lovely person who wants to help you have a great time in berlin.
We had a very nice stay at Benjamin's place. The appartment is on a side street and the windows are double-paned, so it was very quiet. The high ceilings give the place a feeling of space. The bed was comfortable and we used the mattress on the mezzanine as a second bed, so it's possible to have two separate sleeping areas. Benjamin was a great host and welcomed us very well.

So until yesterday, I had never heard of this test until I read about it on this board. Piqued my curiousity, so...
I called my OBGYN's office and they "never heard of it." I asked them to ask around the office. They put me on hold, and 5 min. later she came back and said, "Never heard of it." After lots of googling, many phone calls, and 2 referrals later, I finally scheduled the appointment for Oct. 11!
So for those of you that have done it - it's just a blood draw, right? How long did you wait for results? Are you happy that you did it?
As a FTM, I'm learning so much around here! :)

By U.S. ArmyMay 30, 2008
Several organizations from Anniston Army Depot displayed their capabilities at Armed Forces Day on May 17 at Fort McClellan's Marshall Parade Field.
This special event, hosted by the Army National Guard Training Center, was open to the public and recognized all members of the Armed Forces.
A Stryker vehicle and a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle were on display in the center of the parade field where event-goers could climb inside and check out the high-tech equipment.
The Stryker is manufactured new by General Dynamics Land Systems, a defense contractor using facilities at the depot. Also at the depot, government workers are repairing Stryker vehicles coming back from the war.
As for the MRAP, onlookers saw what Soldiers and Marines in Iraq are using to protect themselves from roadside bombs. This particular MRAP was a Cougar, the six-wheeled MRAP variant produced by GDLS in Anniston.
Both the Stryker and MRAP were put on display by partners GDLS, ANAD and Defense Contract Management Agency.
The depot's Army Community Service staff put on a display as well, showcasing their services to area Soldiers, their Families and the surrounding community.
Tenant organizations Anniston Chemical Agency and Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility set up a booth to exhibit a model of a chemical munitions disposal facility. Since operations began in August 2003, the facility has safely destroyed all of the GB nerve agent and munitions that had been stored in Anniston. Additionally, the ANCDF workforce has safely demilitarized 79 percent of Anniston's VX nerve agent-filled munitions. The last Anniston campaign will incinerate mortars, artillery shells and containers filled with mustard, or blister, agent. ANCDF is expected to wrap up disposal operations in 2012.
Though a section of the base is still maintained by the U.S. government for National Guard training, Fort McClellan was closed by the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. Much of its property and assets were sold to the City of Anniston.

As defined by the committee, research includes scholarly activity that is not necessarily related to specific courses taught by the faculty member. Research funded by the University Committee on Internal Grants should ultimately result in a book, an article in a professional journal, a presentation at a professional meeting, or in the case of faculty in the performing and fine arts, a completed work of art or a theatrical or musical performance. The Committee encourages applications for seed grants designed to lay the groundwork for external funding or for larger projects.
All full-time faculty may apply for a research grant. Worthy applications ranked equally will be considered in the following order of priority:
*An untenured ordinary faculty member whose dissertation is in progress and whose contract renewal is conditional upon completion of his or her dissertation is not eligible to apply, regardless of the project for which funding is sought.
Faculty research grants are intended to fund the expenses of conducting research, preparing a work for performance, or completing a work of art.
Expenses eligible for funding include (in no particular order):
Research grants will NOT fund publication costs by a "vanity press," travel to professional conferences, major equipment purchases, release time, reimbursement of past expenses, salary support, or research pertaining to completion of a dissertation.
For research projects involving human subjects, IRB approval is not required at the time of application. However, IRB approval must be obtained prior to the release of award funds. Once IRB approval is obtained, a copy of the approval letter should be submitted to the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, Monroe Library 301.
In addition to completeness and clarity, the Committee will consider the following in evaluating grant applications.
The project budget is normally written for a total of no more than $3,500. In exceptional cases the committee will consider awards that exceed the usual maximum. If more than $3,500 is requested, the budget justification must clearly explain why the additional funding is necessary. In order to fund as many proposals as possible, the committee may choose to provide less funding than the total requested, regardless of amount. For this reason and because the committee cannot have specific knowledge of the practical requirements of each proposed project, it is incumbent on the applicant to provide a compelling justification of his or her budget. The justification should list the budget items in order of funding priority. This justification should clearly inform the committee of any specific budget cuts that would prevent the project from being undertaken.
Grants are awarded with the following stipulations:
Important Funding Changes
Important Funding Changes: All faculty development and research grants commence upon the grantee's receipt of written notification by the Provost and conclude no later than July 31 of the fiscal year in which the grant was awarded. Grant related expenses must be incurred on or before July 31. Incurred means that goods or services were received on or before July 31. Reimbursement requests must be submitted on or before July 31. A final report, reflecting the final outcome of the project, is due within thirty days after the conclusion of the grant period.
It is the responsibility of faculty and staff to comply with Loyola's reimbursement policies in addition to all other financial affairs policies and procedures. Personal payments generally should not be made for non-travel business expenses that can be paid directly by the University.
2015-2016 Applications are due September 25, 2015 by 5pm.

Ice causes interstate woes
MONTPELIER Rapid icing of Interstate 89 in the Berlin and Montpelier area led to a three-vehicle accident and sent several others off the road Monday evening.
The accident was reported just before 9 p.m. near Exit 7. The northbound lane was shut down for a time so the accident could be cleared.
Earlier, at least half a dozen cars slid off the highway between exits 8 and 9, according to reports to dispatchers.
Authorities responding to the slide-offs at about 8:30 reported solid ice on the roadway, and one said he was unable to stop even at 20 mph.
Traffic became backed up at Exit 8 as southbound tractor-trailers and other vehicles were unable to make it up the hill on the interstate.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Joan Black came for the desserts, Shirley Farnham came for the music, Leon Gendron came...

|FHWA has improved its risk management approach, but needs to improve its oversight of project costs
FHWA oversight
The federal-aid highway program provides about 33 billion dollars a year to states for highway projects. The federal government provides funding for and oversees this program, while states largely choose and manage the projects. As requested, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reviewed the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) implementation of several requirements in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU): (1) oversight of states using a risk management approach; (2) efforts to develop minimum standards for estimating project costs, and periodically evaluate states' cost estimating practices; and (3) reviews of states' financial management systems. GAO also reviewed FHWA's policy on presenting an estimate of financing costs in financial plans for major projects (i.e., projects estimated to cost over 500 million dollars). FHWA has improved its approach to managing risks to the federal-aid highway program by requiring field offices to identify risks, assess them on the basis of the potential impact and the likelihood they will occur, and develop response strategies for key risks in their planned oversight activities. For fiscal years 2007 through 2009, most of the field offices GAO visited had oversight activities to address a majority of the key risks. However, most of the field offices that GAO visited were not fully tracking risk mitigation activities, thereby limiting the effectiveness of FHWA's efforts to mitigate risks to the federal-aid highway program.

This article explores the implications of a design perspective for knowledge management (KM). We examine the major problems which our approach must address, the promises it offers, the realities we have explored in our work and the continuing challenges. The authors' KM approach assumes that knowledge is not a commodity but that it is collaboratively designed and constructed.

I've recently started working on various C# projects in Visual Studio as part of a plan for a large scale system that will be used to replace our current system that's built from a cobbling-together of various programs and scripts written in C and Perl. The projects I'm now working on have reached critical mass for being committed to subversion. I was wondering what should and should not be committed to the repository for Visual Studio projects. I know that it's going to generate various files that are just build-artifacts and don't really need to be committed, and I was wondering if anybody had any advice for properly using SVN with Visual Studio. At the moment, I'm using an SVN 1.6 server with Visual Studio 2010 beta. Any advice, opinions are welcome.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I would suggest using AnkhSVN - a Subversion source control plugin for Visual Studio 2008/2010.
You can use it to perform your initial add and commit of the solution, projects and sources to the repository and it won't add any of the build artefacts. It won't add anything that is generated by your build, only files that are referenced by your solution. If there are any other bits and pieces you need that aren't in your solution, you can add them afterwards.
Put the following files in version control:
Do not put the following files into version control:
Also, don't put in any object files, executables, auto-generated files (like headers that might be generated).
As for executables and other generated files - there might be an exception if you want to be able to archive releases. That might be a good idea, but you'll probably want to manage that a little differently and possibly in a different place than your source code. If you do this, also archive your .pdb files so you can debug the stuff later. you might want to use a Symbol Server to store you archived symbols (see Debugging Tools for Windows for the symbol server and its documentation).
Here's my list of VS-specific files that I exclude from SVN:
Solution level:
Project level:
If you use and VS addins, they may generate files that also need ignoring (ie. ReSharper generates
The ignore items can either be ignored explicitly by filename (ie.
Once you have your ignores set up, checking out a clean copy of your source then building should then show no modifications (ie. no new unversioned files).
I would manually include all files that I think I shouldn't version control.
My global ignore pattern is:
.dll .pdb .exe .cache .webinfo .snk bin obj debug _Resharper .user resharper
In case you are using ignore list, SVN is case sensitive. So remember to ignore bin and Bin folders separately.
Also, I had a question.. why does it take lot of time some times to refresh the status icon? At times it gets very confusing.
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34784/mercurial-setup-for-visual-studio-2008-projects for a Mercurial ignore list. I'm not familiar with the syntax of the SVN ignore list but this thread has a few good lists of what to ignore in Visual Studio.

From Our Editors
West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science promotes creativity, responsibility, and academic achievement through the comprehensive study of science. Lessons are tailored for students in preschool through 12th grade, grounded in the hard sciences, and supported by a hands-on learning environment. The 62-acre campus maintains farmland, nature trails, wetlands, and forests as outdoor classrooms where students can explore during weekly environmental-science labs. Differentiated instruction allows students to grow in a diverse setting; one lesson asks that they build arbors from spare branches, and the next dictates that they write reports on handmade paper from the previous week's lab. All the while, the school's character-education programs build self-awareness and self-esteem. In addition to regular lessons, the academy offers science fairs to showcase kids' skills and summer camps to keep the fires of learning ablaze—like the traditional end-of-year burning of the times-table tests—in the off season.
