UK: Toyota begins Prius PHV fleet trials
By Graeme Roberts | 21 June 2010
A Prius PHEV demonstrates roadside charging in London
The first Toyota Prius plug-in hybrids (PHV) in the UK have joined the fleets of five businesses and public organisations on three-year leases where, Toyota GB said, "they will demonstrate the fuel efficiency, low emissions, cost savings and everyday practicality their rechargeable hybrid power system can deliver".
"The real-world experiences of the drivers and fleet operators will provide both companies and UK government with valuable insights into driver attitudes and usage patterns to help them design their strategies for introducing plug-in hybrids and recharging technologies. It will also help inform and shape public policy in this field," the automaker added at a launch event in London today.
Electricity supplier EDF Energy's charging infrastructure will help monitor usage.
As with pure electrics, the PHV test programme has government help: the lease programme is part of the Technology Strategy Board's Ultra Low Carbon Vehicle Demonstrator Programme and the coalition's Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) is providing the cash.
Organisations and businesses using the cars are Transport for London (the red bus, Tube and train operator), the government's Car and Despatch Agency, the Metropolitan Police Service, Times and Sun newspaper publisher News International and satellite TV company Sky.
The cars are modified third-generation Prius hybrids with a lithium-ion battery (in place of nickel metal hydride) recharged by a standard 240V electricity supply.
EDF Energy has set plug, socket, wiring and cabling specifications to comply with BS7671 safety standards while maintaining ease of use. The charging points have a keypad that enables each user and vehicle to be identified when recharging.
The rechargeable battery gives the PHEV an extended range in EV (electric vehicle) mode of up to 12.5 miles (versus the mile or so just-auto has achieved in the standard hybrid) at speeds up to 62mph (100km/h; the regular car only gets up to about 50km/h or 30mph before the petrol engine joins in). Toyota reckons the PHEV version can therefore do "most" urban journeys with zero fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions. Combined cycle fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are 108.6mpg and 59g/km.
Although there is usually a vast gap between the standard car's 72.43mpg official combined EU test score and owners' real-world experience (late 40s, early 50s, depending on driving style and conditions, according to owners we've asked), that is nonetheless a significant improvement.
If the battery runs down in the PHV version, the petrol engine cuts in to recharge it and move the car, just as in the standard model. That means no "range anxiety" about the distance his or her car might manage, Toyota said.
The UK test fleet is part of 200 in Europe and 600 world wide. As to wider availability, Toyota continued to say only it would launch a PHV "within the next few years".

Digital literacy/access for women is constrained by poverty. In my country poverty level has been very high and due to this women have not been able to attend the basic/primary education. Here one can see that it is somehow difficult to train somebody especially a woman who has noe attended the primary education; and these women are in rural areas.
I therefore recommend that our governments, my government should put hte education of girl child first to deal with the women illiteracy. I am talking about this because the population of women globally is very huge, if our governments can educate a girl child or women they have educated the world.
As you can see in the picture, women are believed to be the ones dancing for our leaders. This is not good because our women need to be empowered economically, socially, spiritually and physically or mentally.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to WWW: Women Weave the Web .
Thank you for sharing your comments regarding women's rights and it is very refreshing to see this from you! Are you part of a group or doing anything actively to help women gain an education in your town?
Kind Regards, Bina Patel hc Mediate, LLC www.hcmediate.com
Hello Bina,
Thank you for encouragement. I am an ex-policeman, during my service I had been experiencing and studying problems being faced by women. Therefore I have a passion for women.
More importantly women are the pillars of our society because they are the basis for our creation. For instance, every human being or whatever is born from females.
I am intending to partner with a certain group to educate women in my village/area through WorldPulse.
Once again thank you.
Isaac Zuze.
Thank you for supporting the education of girls and women. It is a very important goal to educate women which not only gives women knowledge but also fights poverty by generating growth in economies.
Thank you for your support of women and girls!
In hope an peace, Ann Fishburn
Bonjour tous, J'ai eu à te lire et te commenter et cela m'a reveler d'un article que j'avais poster vous pouvez le voir sur mon lien, j'avais parlé que chaque femme est fière et souple de faire ou de se former en informatique mais il ya une obstacle qui leur contrecarre, c'est le niveau bas d'instruction. Si nous parlons du niveau bas d'instruction c'est encore dans des grandes villes , Alors qu'en est-il le cas pôur celles qui sont dans les milieux ruraux? où les femmes n'étudient presque pas? Quand au 21è siècle il ya encore des gens qui ne savent ni lire ,ni écrire? S'il s'agit de faire une formation il faut commencer à Zero ? Nous avons une tache lourde Merci et à plus Bajira chishuba Anne
Merci beaucoup.
I could not agree with you more! I applaud you for taking this stand that supports a basic/primary education for women and girls in your country.
In support and peace, Terry Mullins
Hello Isaac - I read through your responses above and also read your profile. You have a lot to offer the girls and women of your village. Please do NOT give up! You have the unique advantage of your previous work experience as a policeman - you have seen and heard so much that others have not. You KNOW the truth. I do believe, as you do, that education is the answer.
In support and peace, Terry Mullins
Very very beautiful. It is terrible if women have to dance alone, because a good dance a dancer must have a partner. I wonder if the women dancing have nothing against dancing for the Government, because could be that some of the women burn for dancing like some people do. Some countries perhaps forbid women dancing with a man who is not her husband. Thanks to God, that is one of the African countries where the first thing some Government leaders do is dance with the people.
The key in for dancing in Mozambique is: Are you a dancing person Dance specially for the leaders. Africa is beautiful we have so many different Types of Culture. Our culture, tradition, habits and language vary every 100 km, Our food Tradition is also very interesting.
Some day i would love to invite Women from all over Africa for a Culture and Tradition week. With food discussion and introduction of our many different culture and aspects of culture from Birth day to a burial ceremony.
UWA/ United women of Africa. SADAC - Mozambique
On this occasion women were dancing for politicians which is 'an abuse of women'. Dancing is good, it shows happiness but as far as world pulse is concerned dancing for a politician for a $0.25 as an incentive is an abuse.
In fact dancing for leaders in Africa is like a culture but politicians takes women for granted while they are suffering in silence.
Lets empower women to assist fellow men for the growth of our nations.
Very beautiful story. Thank you.

Dear Mulheres,
Why can't you come to Malawi to empower our women through your organisation?
Dear IBZ
I was thinking about that. I even talked with my Malawian supporters and women who are ready to welcome the project. Actually I have a place both in Blantyre and in Lionde and Chikwawa and Mwanza. Perhaps it is best to start by planting the project in Mozambique and there after Malawi.
You should Propose World Pulse that Idea. If they agree I`am ready. It is a very good Idea because we speak the same dialect, and the project could be planted both in Malawi Mozambique Zimbabwe and Zambia. Please remember that Mozambique is a huge country compared to Malawi and in the south of Mozambique we have other dialects not applicable to Sena, Nhanja, Chichewa and Ndau .
I do visit Malawi 3-4 times a week and use Blantyre as my Capital city when I am in Milange. a Perfect Idea.
Ilda Maria Varela.
UWA/ United women of Africa. SADAC - Mozambique
Hello IIda,
I have placed the request at the world pulse Resource Exchange to start a Foundation for women empowerment. Let us wait a go ahead from them.
For your information I stay in Blantyre so we can arrange and meet when you visit Malawi again. There is a lot to do to help women and girls in our countries.
Looking forward to see you.
Isaac Brighton Zuze.
Dear Brighton,
Thank you. Did you suggest the implementation of "Digital Library with Internet for women in Milange" also in Malawi or just a "Foundation for women empowerment"
Ilda M. Varela.
UWA/ United women of Africa. SADAC - Mozambique
Hello Isaac- I see you mentioned posting a resource exchange opportunity... I wanted to say that world pulse members are encouraged to initiate actions, movements, opportunities,and the like. You are free to look though the resources posted on this site and connect with other members who's pursuits align with yours. Are you wanting to begin your own foundation for women's empowerment, or looking to start a community group along those lines? I just want to clarify what you mean by "wait for the go-ahead" so we can provide accurate information back to you.
You may private message me with your reply or any questions. You can also contact EmilyGarcia, online community associate.

In this short journal entry, you bring to the fore a critical issue: women's illiteracy. Women who do not have basic education are disadvantaged because their illiteracy separates and isolates them from so much in this world, including the internet. (I am sitting here trying to imagine what life would be like were I not able to read? I cannot picture it). Surely these women have developed other skills and talents, despite not being educated to read. Nonetheless, their lack of access to the power of the written word, and to the internet, is most likely, limiting their ability to be fully realized empowered humans. I applaud your attention to the issue--many people are finally recognizing the criticality of educating women. Your voice is an important one in that chorus. Thank you! Kit
Hello Kit,
Remember illiteracy is a barrier brought in by poverty. We need to deal with poverty first; you know what, most girls are getting married because they are raised by poor parents who are unable to motivate their daughters.
Regards, Isaac.
thank you!
A ZuZe,
Programe imma camba ife ya tecka. Clickarne on the map mu one mweka. Zicomo kwabire. Panopa cha saala ndi ku ganizza buino buino emplementation and adjustment ya programe. Mozambique ndi Malawi a siana a little bit in many ways.

Ndiponso communication ndi Zimbabwians and Zambia ima chala pafupi ndi fluently. Ndiri ku onanso kuti Swahily ya ku Uganda ndi chichewa is as well understanderble.
Regarding Languages and Idioma thee most important issue is to get as many people as possible in rural and Urban areas of Malawi and Mozambique speaking writing and understanding english via Internet access and etc., I believe that this will lead to a formation of a new common African digital language. Very very god actually because Europe is constructing their own language only whites can participate. It is perhaps still a secret.
Ilda M. Varela
UWA/ United women of Africa. SADAC - Mozambique
The Background.
Our women are constrained by illiteracy which lead to poverty. This is because our political leaders(government) are intoxicated with politics which bring a lot of human rights abuses, civil wars, human trafficking, domestice violences or gender based violence and finally food shortages. These malpractices compel our women not to regard education as an important tool for development and empowerment. In the process women force daughters to early marriages in order to reduce responsibility at domestic level.
Our political leaders should change mindset, puting education first other than politics because education is a key to everything; even politics itself is workable besause of education. In our case, our women need education for few below listed reasons:
a) Education energises women to fight for their rights.
b) A woman can easily trained in any profession if she gets basic education.
c) She can adopt new farming techniques after attaining education to deal with food shortage at domestic level.
d) She can understands computer applications easily.
e) She cannot be persuaded in any way because she is able to prioritise issues because of education.
Digital Literacy.
Once again our women need our assistance because Computer language is complex and difficult to understand. Knowing that grassroots woman is not well educated, role players in digital literacy should support women by creating softwares which are user friendly to grassroots women. Access to the internet is troublesome because there is a lot to learn on the web. This is because our effort is to empower grassroots women to voice their afflictions and getting lasting solutions worldwide.
In conclusion, let us work together to assist women for they are weaker vessels, as the Bible says.

"God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December." – James M. Barrie
"I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done." – Bible
The Bible tells the story of Joshua leading the nation of Israel across the Jordan River. Joshua instructs 12 of his men to take 12 stones from the middle of the river and "carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight."
He does this for the following reason: "In the future, when your children ask you, 'What do these stones mean?' tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever."
Tomorrow is Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
It is difficult to put into words the emotions we have when we remember those who died that we might live.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address does a good job of capturing an appropriate response on our part to their sacrifice. Here is a portion of his speech:
"It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Things haven't changed much. We are still struggling to bring that "new birth of freedom" to maturity.
Lincoln reminds us that we must honor those who gave their lives in service to our country, and he also exhorts us to remember that sacrifice that we might continue to fight for what they died for.
We remember what was heroically done in the past to encourage and inspire us as we move on into the future. Memorial Day is our way of building the pile of 12 stones.
When our children ask what Memorial Day is all about, we must tell them. Yes, it's about a holiday, parades, and fun times together, and more importantly it's about those people who gave the supreme sacrifice that we can have those times together.
None of us like war, and we may argue sometimes with the correctness of causes of the conflicts, but we must remember and pass on to our children the importance of taking a stand for what we believe is right.
A variety of people, including Dr. Martin Luther King are credited with something similar to the following quote "If you've got nothing worth dying for, then you've got nothing worth living for."
In addition to passing on our children the importance of standing up for just causes, there is another reason for memories.
George Santayana, a well-known philosopher from years past, once said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Memories in our own families play an important role. For some we remember with fondness and also for inspiration our parents, grandparents and others who had an influence on our lives. For others the memories may be painful.
Recalling bad memories and forgiving where forgiveness is needed may free us to have more joy in the present. Recalling good memories may encourage and inspire us to keep on keeping on as we move into the future.
Corrie Ten Boom, a survivor of the Holocaust, was able to say "Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future."

Wii U
SuperShyGuy9000 4 years ago#61
I love how one slow sales weak predicts doom, even though it Wii U still didn't even sell worse than PS3.
Yep, everything from falling from 70k to 20k and it's portable (PSP) beating the newly released console apples to the PS3 too.
Just another hit Wii U piece with misleading pseudo facts and double standards
TheFallenPriest 4 years ago#62
I stopped reading once they compared it to the PS3s sales. Everyone that has ever experienced a console launch knows not to compare it to how a previous gen is currently doing. They need to look at the previous consoles launch.
Once it gets more games is when the console starts selling. I hate the phrase, but it needs the "killer app" and nsmbu is a great game, heck the nsmb series outsells pretty much every game in existence, and a must have game for anyone that owns a Wii U, but it isnt a reason to buy a Wii U. I think this is where nintendo made their miscalculation. They looked at the previous NSMB sales and thought "Everyone will buy a Wii U because of this" when in reality, its in a strange place that not very many games have been in.
You would think that a series that has sold more than any other game its generation (except games from the same developer)would be the way to go, but it really was just a game that people got because they owned a Wii already. Sales will skyrocket once some other first party games come out. Pikman has a large and very fanatical fanbase. Once that comes out, it will make a big impact on Wii U sales, and once e3 comes, with some major game announcements, there will be an even larger interest.

Wii Fail
Final nail Nintenfail
my grammar sucks and i dont care
disappointing game of the year = re6 (6.5/10)
Nearly twice the number of games that the 360 and PS3 launched with. And don't complain because several are multiplatforms and ports because those are common for any new console launch.
But that is a detail you really can't overlook. People buy a new system for new experiences. It's not even as if the Wii U versions of those games play any better than the 360 / ps3 versions (and certainly nowhere near the pc versions). You can't really claim multiplats as a strength of the system since outside of that launch window devs seem to be giving the Wii U an awful lot of the cold shoulder. No DmC, no Tomb Raider, no GTA 5, no Revengeneance, no Castlevania LoS 2...
Really the only reason right now I can see to own a Wii U is Nintendo first party titles but the problem there is they aren't out yet. The way things stand I do honestly think the Wii U is likely to die from lack of oxygen before they can arrive.
i think i heared this nintendoomed news before, maybe a dejavu.....

They launched with virtually no games.
Launched with no games? Wii U had, without a doubt, the best launch lineup EVER.
As for the article, the mainstream always says Nintendo is doomed. Last week in Japan ALL systems saw sharp drops. Where is the "Sony is doomed" articles? Especially since Sony is deeply in debt and most of their divisions are bleeding heavily.

Playstation 3's launch was horrible, utter garbage. Now it's thriving.
Nintendo will be fine.
Your ugly face is starting to piss me off.
no way is a nintendo pretendo systenm worth the amount of money they are asking for this thing. wii was $100 less than ps3 and xbox and provided $150 less worth of gaming. Thats why no one wants to make this mistake again
GT: KryDamoure *Insert cool line here *
.............I'm a very shy guy........
Annnnnd this is precisely why the casual gamer crowd should not be catered to forever, and why going mobile/IOS games only will eventually spell the end for a development company.
The game industry cannot be supported and run by people who don't give two damns about games in the first place and only see them as something to play on the bus, or for an hour or two a week. Those types of people aren't going to be spending any major amount of money on games, simply because they won't see any need.

Help - 33"s on now but should I regear?
Thanks in advance for your help. I am a bit confused about what I should do and there seems to be a lot of different opinions on this subject. I have a 2011 JKU Sahara which I put a Teraflex Level kit on and 33" 285/70/17's on. Love the look and the lift. I drive a lot of highway/ interstate miles but occasionally take it mudding/trailing in Central Ill. Since the 33"s which actually measure 32", I have lost a lot of "pep". I have read that 3.73 's come stock. For my usage, what should I regear with? Where should I buy the kit? Wll regearing help with maintaining speed on the highway? Cruise control bouncing gears.
Start searching local shops. Regearing varies in price depending on the shop...anywhere from 1000-1500. Too low a gear will result in poor dd performance with ur tires, however will be able to run a bigger tire setup. For ur setup, I would look into the 4.56 gearing. A lil shorter than the stock rubis but that's the next available gearing for ur jeep besides the stock 3.21,3.73. I have a similar setup as urs however I have a 2012. I'm still able to use cruise control.
The stock gears are 3.21, 3.73 an upgrade. Check your window sticker or build sheet. If you have the max tow package you will have at least 3.73. I have 295/70/17 Nitto Grapplers with 3.73 and a 2.5" lift with no problems.
Those are small 33's so either way you will be fine. re-gearing not needed.
Ok, I will check the gearing. I am just not pleased with the performance and loss of RPMs at highway speed. It is really dogging now.
What all will I need to purchase for a regearing? How will I know if I indeed have 3.21?
Yeah, you will probably be better off regearing. or you can trade it in for a 12-14, problem solved....
I have a 2009 with 3.73 gears and 33" tires. I bought a superchips flash paq and it was like night and day with shift points. Much more tolerable and $300 was cheaper than the $1500+ for regear. It no longer jumps to OD on and off on highway. If you plan to go bigger, you will want the regear. Good luck!
How does the Flash Paq work? Hard to install or calibrate? I may try that route
that might be your best option if your not planning to upgrade ur tires or add more weight to your jeep. regearing is pretty expensive but way worth it.
I am more inclined to do the regear based on being able to do some moderate off-roading. I am also not pleased with the lack of current performance. I received my build sheet yesterday to see what I have exactly
4spd Auto Tranny
3.73 Ratio
Front Dana 30
Rear Dana 44
What is the best gear ratio for this set up with my 33's? What is the max ratio I can put in these axles?

The range of a species is determined by the environmental niche of that species. Within the range, the environmental suitability for a species will range from low to high. Beech forests occupied a wider range 2,000 years ago, and this study explores this range before the arrival of humans in New Zealand. Relying extensively upon samples extracted from lower elevation plots, where climate extremes are less severe, this generated more complacent growth ring patterns, rendering analysis more difficult. This project is to test if changes in environmental suitability translate to predictable changes in species growth for silver beech (Lophozonia menziesii) across the lower South Island of New Zealand, (generally below the 44th parallel) by studying the relationship between growth rates across a gradient of environmental (climatic) conditions. Field data collection was undertaken on 18 different sites at 11 locations. Two core samples were extracted from 56 trees, generating 112 samples for analysis. Forest characteristics were noted, and plot photographs were taken. Cores were analysed by low powered microscope. An annual average radial growth increment of 1.24 mm was found, with a significant inverse relationship observed between annual growth and plot elevation, this lessening at higher elevations. Linkages between climate factors and plot annual growth were found, some peaks for mean air temperatures loosely matching those for total precipitation. Annual growth was found to be greater in warmer, and in drier areas, but not significantly so. Mean air temperature and total precipitation have slightly positive influences upon annual growth over the 40 year study period. Annual growth was found to be higher on south-facing slopes. Masting was considered as a biotic factor in tree annual growth. Competition from adjacent plants was found, at lower elevations, to exercise a strongly inverse effect on average annual growth but at higher elevations it was found to be slightly positive. It was found that the abiotic factors of elevation and to a lesser extent, aspect, were the major drivers of annual growth. In the past, silver beech forests, mixed with patches of New Zealand conifers, would have covered most of the study area, although patches devoid of forest occurred inland. 2016-08-26T04:14:35Z Quantifying fog deposition,evapotranspiration,andwater yield in snow tussock grasslands Trevelyan, Alice http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6683 2016-07-10T21:16:08Z 2016-07-10T21:14:52Z Quantifying fog deposition,evapotranspiration,andwater yield in snow tussock grasslands 2016 Trevelyan, Alice In arid and semi-arid regions, water resources are under pressure due to increasing demand and uncertain climatic futures. In these water-scarce regions, it is recognised that fog may be a significant contributor to overall precipitation, and can be captured to supplement water supply. The amount of water potentially derived from fog is particularly important in summer when there is increased water demand. In New Zealand, the potential role of fog to augmenting stream flow is highly contested with debate over the significance of fog interception versus low evapotranspiration rates, particularly in native grasslands. The aim of this study is to determine if fog is a significant contributor to water yield in snow tussock grasslands, using a case study catchment in Central Otago. A variety of meteorological, hydrological and geochemical techniques were employed, including the direct capture of fog;isotopic and solute analysis of fog, rain, soil moisture, wetland and river water;calculation of site-specific potential evapotranspiration (PET)using the Penman–MonteithFAO-56 method;and stream discharge and soil moisture readings. From these observations it was determined that fog contributes 28.5% (372mmeq.) of total annual precipitation. Fog and rain have specific isotopic and chemical signatures, with fog found consistently more enriched in stable isotopes δ18O and δ2H relative to rain, and enriched in ionic composition relative to rain. On the basis of the geochemical analysis there is no evidence that fog water directly contributes to stream flow. Rather, fog augmented and sustained soil moisture rates and was an important source of water to sustain plant growth over summer. PET rates are demonstrably low over the tussock grassland, averaging1.52 m d−1and are an important element of the overall efficiency of water yields in tussock grasslands.Fog incidence also significantly correlated to lowered PET rates,as a result of the high humidity inducing a low specific vapour pressure gradient between the tussock and the atmosphere.Thus, the elevated water yields of tussock grasslands are due to the combined effects of low evapotranspiration rates, fog interception, and fog incidence depressing evapotranspiration. In water-scarce parts of Otago, retaining tussock-covered headwaters may be strategically valuable for sustaining river flow as a consequence of sustained soil moisture during summer, and in drought conditions.Consequently, integrated catchment management plans in Otago should focus on the protection of tussock grassland and educating farmers and landowners of the economic and ecological benefits associated with retaining a dense cover of tussock grasslands in catchment headwaters. 2016-07-10T21:14:52Z Nutrient Concentrations in the Rivers of the Southern Alps: A Proxy Indicator for Reference Water Quality Conditions in New Zealand Diack, Emily http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6622 2016-06-24T14:02:34Z 2016-06-23T23:18:58Z Nutrient Concentrations in the Rivers of the Southern Alps: A Proxy Indicator for Reference Water Quality Conditions in New Zealand 2016 Diack, Emily Large-scale transformation of vegetation cover in New Zealand since human occupation has restricted indigenous forest cover to upland and remote regions. The waterways of these remote and undisturbed catchments are typically excluded from regular assessments of water quality, and thus, there is a paucity of longitudinal data from pristine waterways in New Zealand. This thesis presents a two-year study of the water quality of 71 low disturbance catchments draining the Southern Alps. Catchments were sampled every 3 to 6 months from January 2012 to November 2014. In these pristine catchments, phosphate phosphorus and ammoniacal are usually at, or below, detectable limits. The nitrate nitrogen, dissolved inorganic carbon, dissolved organic carbon and silicon all show concentration variability across a seasonal and spatial scale. The nitrate nitrogen was higher during autumn and winter, with a median of 37.5 μg N L-1, compared to 24.5 μg N L-1 during summer. Dissolved organic carbon concentrations were significantly higher on the west coast (1.9 mg C L-1), than the east (1.6 mg C L-1). Silicon showed higher median concentrations on the east coast than the west, 1.6 mg Si L-1 and 1.3 mg Si L-1 respectively. The dissolved inorganic carbon showed no difference between median concentrations, however, the annual specific yield is higher on the west coast equivalent to 20.2 t km2 a-1 versus 8.5 t km2 a-1 on the east coast. All nutrients varied with geology, vegetation and soil type within the catchments identifying the need determine the most influential controls on nutrient concentrations in low disturbance catchments. Multiple regression analysis concluded a combination of controlling nutrient specific variables depicted the nutrient concentrations of the Southern Alps. Phosphate phosphorous, nitrate nitrogen and ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations were predominately controlled by land use factors, whereas dissolved carbon and silicon were controlled by a combination of land use, soil, morphometric, and hydro-climate variables. Dissolved inorganic carbon and silicon, both principally derived from the mineral sources, are controlled by differing factors highlighting the sensitive nature of each nutrient to its surrounding environment and coupling to the hydrologic network. Overall, pristine New Zealand rivers typically have very low nutrient concentrations in the headwaters by global standards. The concentrations and specific yields of the Southern Alps reported in this study provide a robust proxy dataset for establishing reference water quality conditions for New Zealand. 2016-06-23T23:18:58Z Variation in flowering patterns and flowering phenology in alpine cushion plants in response to microclimate Basubas, Daniel http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6584 2016-06-19T20:50:09Z 2016-06-19T20:48:46Z Variation in flowering patterns and flowering phenology in alpine cushion plants in response to microclimate 2016 Basubas, Daniel Alpine environments are of global importance due to their distinct environments, small geographic range, and fragmented distribution. Alpine landscapes are characterized by high topographic heterogeneity and consequently contain a wide a range of microclimates. Microclimates are localized climatic zones defined by variations in aspect, wind exposure, and solar radiation. Cold and windy alpine conditions have led to the evolution of distinct plan life forms that are compact and have low stature, one of which are cushion plants. Flowering phenology is the timing of seasonal flowering events and is crucial for the reproductive success of a plant species as it determines the temporal overlap with pollinator species. Continental-wide changes in flowering phenology correlates well with recent climate change and have been reported for a large number of species and regions. However, there is little research quantifying phenological response to fine-scale topographical heterogeneity. The aim of this study is to quantify the impact of microclimatic variation on the flowering patterns and flowering phenology of two alpine cushion plant species, Dracophyllum muscoides (Ericaceae) and Phyllachne colensoi (Stylidiaceae). The study was conducted at two sites on the Rock and Pillar Range, South Island, New Zealand at 1300 m a.s.l. during one growing season. Cameras were placed at five plots at opposing north and south- facing aspects and recorded flowering phenology and summer frost events throughout the growing season. Patch size, flowering probability, and flower abundance were measured using image analysis and manual flower counting. Temperature and soil moisture were also recorded at sixteen plots at each aspect. North-aspects were 2.3°C warmer on average on both sites at ground level, had 8.7% fewer recorded frost events, and had 5.5% lower soil moisture. P. colensoi patches were 38% less likely to flower on the north aspect on one site and north aspect patches were smaller for both species. First flowering date was advanced on the north aspect for both D. muscoides (7.3 days) and P. colensoi (1.2 days). There was high intra-aspect variation in flowering phenology, suggesting that increasing temperatures and decreasing soil moisture under climate change conditions may not lead to a uniform phenological response amongst individuals even across small spatial scales. The implications for this research are that flowering patterns and phenology under climate change conditions can be forecasted using fine- spatial scales. Under a 2°C warming scenario it is expected that D. muscoides patches can be up to four times smaller in size and flower seven days earlier. P. colensoi patches are expected to be up to two times smaller, flower one day earlier, and have a 28% lower chance of flowering. 2016-06-19T20:48:46Z The Role of Local Knowledge in Yancheng National Nature Reserve Management Lu, Yuan http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6575 2016-06-17T14:02:29Z 2016-06-17T02:51:58Z The Role of Local Knowledge in Yancheng National Nature Reserve Management 2016 Lu, Yuan Throughout the world, protected areas have been established to preserve biodiversity and natural ecosystems, but they are constantly facing economic development pressure from surrounding communities. In order to reconcile such conflicts, co-management is sometimes proposed as a solution for both conservation and community development. Western literature suggests that non-science knowledge (local, Indigenous etc.) can make a vital contribution if communities are empowered to participate in environmental management. But there are very few such studies relating to China, particularly concerning local knowledge of the Han people, which is the predominant culture. This study of Yancheng National Nature Reserve (YNNR) helps fill this gap. YNNR is the first and largest tidal flat nature reserve in China dedicated to protecting Red-crowned Crane and other rare migratory birds and their habitats. It is also an international biosphere reserve in UNESCO's Man and Biosphere Program (MAB) and a wetland of International Importance in the Ramsar Convention List of Wetlands. The aim of the research was to examine the local knowledge relating to the habitat of the protected Red-crowned Crane possessed by the local community, and their aspirations for the use of this knowledge in the management of the reserve. The research also examined how nature reserve management staff and scientific researchers perceive the value and use of the local knowledge as well as to discover the challenges of and opportunities for the integration of local knowledge into the management of YNNR. Through on-site observations and semi-structured interviews with local community members, nature reserve staff and scientific researchers, the research found that although the locals have detailed knowledge about fishery, farming, salt production and reed production, they have limited contemporary knowledge concerning the rare birds and their habitats. This appears to be preventing them from contributing to co-management of the nature reserve. Both the nature reserve staff and the local people underestimated the value of local knowledge, so the current management regime fails to include such knowledge into the management. However, there are opportunities for the reserve to facilitate local knowledge protection and integration, if the reserve staff can change their perceptions, promote eco-friendly development, and help revive some of the traditional farming techniques and local specialty production knowledge. The research contributes to international perspectives on co-management through its finding that the western concept of co-management does not have a good fit in YNNR and possibly across China more generally, because the general lack of democracy and equity tends to stall attempts at public participation and power sharing. Although the reserve has the dual goals of conservation and development under the biosphere reserve model, it is difficult to implement due to power imbalances and inequity. Biodiversity is still under threat and there are added conflicts and tensions within the region because of insufficient compensation and unequal benefit distribution in relation to local people, and weak controls on development in the reserve by other (non-local) interests. In general, western concept collaborative conservation may be incompatible with China's political situation and development model. The traditional Chinese 'middle way' may be a better solution for the conservation and development dilemma. 2016-06-17T02:51:58Z Land management change and conflict resolution in Abel Tasman National Park, 1855-1995 Moran, Amanda K. http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6548 2016-06-14T14:02:09Z 2016-06-13T23:38:07Z Land management change and conflict resolution in Abel Tasman National Park, 1855-1995 1995 Moran, Amanda K. Societal change begins when the perceptions of an individual or a group are altered. A change in perception can lead to conflict if not all members of a society hold the new belief at the same time. This study looks at how the resulting conflict can be resolved, particularly in relation to changes in land management. Conflict in land management is rooted in interactions between people, and between people and their environment. In New Zealand an important cause of conflict is related to the development of National Parks. There are two main issues within this: (1) The development of National Parks involves a change in land use from private to public. (2) For some, the sole purpose of a National Park is environmental protection while others see recreation as important. These differing views lead to the need for continuing debate as the patterns of landuse change. Through this debate we can resolve the more immediate areas of concern in terms of land management while remaining aware that there will be new issues in the future that require further consideration. The aim of this study is to look at these areas of concern and related issues in relation to changing land management practices and conflict resolution in Abel Tasman National Park (ATNP) over a 140 year period: from 1855 to 1995. Prior to the formation of ATNP people would talk about "going down the Bay" as the area did not have an official name (Moncreiff 1965). For convenience the name ATNP will be used to describe the area over the entire period of this study, although the Park proper was not gazetted until 1942. 2016-06-13T23:38:07Z Sheep trampling effects on the Otokia silt loam Lagocki, Harry F.R. http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6493 2016-05-31T14:02:12Z 2016-05-30T23:52:18Z Sheep trampling effects on the Otokia silt loam 1983 Lagocki, Harry F.R. The first part of this research project focuses on the measured effects of sheep trampling on a pastured surface soil under varying moisture levels. The results of changes in bulk density, bearing capacity and moisture retention capacity are used to formulate a 'drainage criterion' for the Otokia silt loam. This proposes a minimum depth to water table of 40 cm. Trampling at this level marks the achievement of a surface soil stability index. Both bulk density and bearing capacity values reach a maximum at this level and remain unchanged even when trampled at greater depths to the water table. Sheep trampling effects on a convex/concave hillslope sequence are also measured. Water table surveys show that in winter the lower concave slope segments are permanently wet. Surface soil bearing capacities are correspondingly low. The upper convex slope segments are generally drier and mechanically more stable than their lower counterparts. Despite this however, significant variations in both depths to water tables and surface bearing capacities are a feature of these slopes. It is therefore concluded that all yellow/grey fragipan soils are likely to benefit from artificial drainage, irrespective of topographic contour. 2016-05-30T23:52:18Z Planning Considerations for Private Boarding Houses: A case study approach in Auckland and Dunedin, New Zealand Anderson, Tim http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6394 2016-04-28T20:00:19Z 2016-04-27T23:16:04Z Planning Considerations for Private Boarding Houses: A case study approach in Auckland and Dunedin, New Zealand 2016 Anderson, Tim Private boarding houses in New Zealand exist in multiple social and planning contexts, and house a variety of tenants, often with a high level of need and vulnerability. They fulfil a need by providing affordable single room occupancy accommodation, however international research suggests that the boarding house living environment can have detrimental outcomes for some tenants. Presently there is minimal regulation of boarding houses in New Zealand compared to many other developed countries and there are concerns in some quarters about the living environment. Allegations of substandard conditions and exploitation of tenants have come to the attention of social service organisations and the media. These concerns have been acknowledged at central and local government level, but planning and regulatory changes to address them have been slow in coming. This research identifies problems and issues that characterise private boarding houses in the case study areas of Dunedin and Auckland, and examines how they are being addressed through planning and regulation. A Qualitative methodology has been employed for this study. The main sources of data for the research were obtained through interviews with key informants, supported by a literature review. The primary research from this study validates much of what was uncovered in international literature on boarding houses. Among the residents of this accommodation type, there can be a high proportion of consumers of mental health services, people with addictions, former prisoners and people with a range of vulnerabilities. Boarding houses tend to exist at the lower end of the rental market and some premises operate in breach of regulations such as, building, fire safety and environmental health standards. The research findings showed some contrasting trends between boarding houses in the Auckland and Dunedin case study areas, most significantly, the implications of Auckland's buoyant housing market compared to the stable housing market conditions of Dunedin. The Research in Auckland suggests that boarding house tenants there have fewer accommodation choices, and are more likely to live in unsafe, unsanitary and overcrowded conditions than those in Dunedin. The findings from this research inform a range of recommendations for addressing the issues that can arise form boarding houses. 2016-04-27T23:16:04Z

According to an update posted on EA Forums, the server capacity for the recently released city-building PC game, SimCity, will be increased. Here's the word:
This has been an exciting and challenging week for the team here at Maxis, the culmination years of planning and development. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and enthusiasm from our fans which has made it even more upsetting for us that technical issues have become more prominent in the last 24 hours. We are hitting a number of problems with our server architecture which has seen players encountering bugs and long wait times to enter servers. This is, obviously, not the situation we wanted for our launch week and we want you to know that we are putting everything we have at resolving these issues.
What we are doing is deploying more servers over the coming two days which will alleviate many of the ongoing issues. We are also paying close attention to all the bug reports we are receiving from our fans. We've already pushed several updates in the last few days. Our live ops team is working 24/7 to resolve issues and ensure that bug fixes roll into the game as quickly as possible.
While the ongoing issues are troubling, we can also see that players are really enjoying the game. In a single 24 hour period, there were more than 38 million buildings plopped down, nearly 7 and a half million kilometers of roads laid down, 18+ million fires started and (my favorite fact) over 40 million pipes filled up with poop.
This team has put everything into this game and won't stop until things are smooth. We ask our fans to be patient as our team works diligently to fix the issues. We share your passion for SimCity and thank you for your support and understanding.
In addition to these server-related issues, EA also had to face numerous complaints regarding the company's always-on DRM, which continues to annoy many users.

Once again, a stressed out demon mother needs help. She is looking for voluntary babysitters to help her with her swarm of babies.
Today, the world event "Demon's Lullaby" starts again. Time for you to prove your courage and your babysitting skills. Travel to the Jakundaf Desert and offer your help to the overworked demon mother. But be warned, even though the babies are cute, they are still demons. Their mother will only entrust you with one of her babies - once. So you better give your best to cater to the numerous whims the demon baby may have. Get your baby in time in order to be able to show that you can handle any task the baby throws at you. It will probably not always be easy to satisfy a crying demon baby but if you manage this challenge and return the cute squaller cheerfully to his mommy you will receive an adorable reward.
In addition, if your game world returns enough satisfied babies to the demon mother until May 14, server save, she will reward the world with an experience bonus of 10% until May 21. She will further show her gratitude by reducing the death penalty by half until then.
Enjoy your temporary demon parenthood!

We are going to set up two new Open PvP worlds on Wednesday, May 11, afternoon:
Xylana (EU) and Osera (US).
These worlds will be blocked for character world transfers for a significant amount of time. Please note, though, that depending on how their populations evolve, it may still be possible that these worlds will be opened for transfers or even be merged with other worlds at some point of time.
Initially, only premium accounts will be able to play on Xylana and Osera.
Have fun!

A proven name in filtration for over 10 years!
Beadfilters are closed (pressure) vessels filled with millions of small plastic beads. These beads float and therefore provide a means of mechanical filtration and the enormous surface of these beads provides the biological filtration.
Mechanical filtration: the beads float in a closed vessel and are packed very close to each other. The pressure of the pump makes the water flow upward through the beads. The small dirt particles will stick to the bead pack. The longer the filter is active, the more bio film there will be around the beads and therefore small particles can be filtered.
Biological filtration: the specific surface of the beads is about 1600m² per m³ (6 times more than a blue Japanese Mat), so the bio film layer around the beads is extremely useful nor nitrifying bacteria that consume vast amounts of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
Bypass for UltraBead filters
AquaForte have introduced a bypass for Europe's best selling beadfilter! Installing the bypass allows the use of more economical pumps. Due to a very compact bypass-system, the multi-way valve is completely unused during filtering as the water flows directly into the filter and also leaves the filter in a direct line. This action results in at least 30% less pressure loss (depending on the type of pump). The bypass system is very easy to install on all UltraBead models, using the unions supplied. Connection: 63mm.
Download here the manual for more information about the Ultrabead Beadfilter.

This report describes the results of a telephone survey of enrollees in the MaineCare Option for Workers with Disabilities (MaineCare is Maine's Medicaid program, the Workers Option is one of a growing number of state initiatives across the country that are referred to as Medicaid Buy-In programs).The Workers Option is a MaineCare eligibility category that provides full MaineCare coverage for working people with disabilities who have countable income up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and who do not have unearned income above 100% FPL. The purpose of the Workers Option is to encourage people with disabilities to increase their job earnings without fear of losing health coverage. It is authorized under the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997, one of two ways that states can develop Medicaid-related work incentives of this type. Maine's Bureau of Elder and Adult Services (BEAS), Maine Department of Human Services, commissioned the survey to find out more about the people who were or ever had been enrolled in the Workers Option. BEAS wanted to know about their work experience, their support services needs (particularly their use of personal assistant services), and their opinions and concerns about receiving health coverage under the Workers Option.
Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy
MaineCare Option for Workers with Disabilities: A Survey of Past and Present Enrolleess
Cutler Institute awarded $600,000 to help youth raised in foster system
USM's Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy has been awarded a $600,000 grant to help young people raised in Maine's foster system to prepare for college and the workforce.
The money comes from the Annie E. Casey Foundation as part of a $5.4 million national effort aimed at youth who are homeless or in either the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
"Many of these young people have suffered abuse or trauma and were raised in poverty and neglect," said Marty Zanghi, the Cutler Center's youth development director.
The money -- including an expected $400,000 more in matching funds -- will pay for contracted work with agencies in the target areas, starting with the greater Portland area and Penobscot, Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Nationally and in Maine, only about 3 percent of people who grow up in the foster care system achieve a college degree, he said.
"It's dramatically lower than the rate for the general population," Zanghi said. "It's a horrible outcome."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
"There are young people that overcome these circumstances," he said. "I know people who have master's degrees and Ph.Ds."
The Casey Foundation's national effort is being called the "Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential" (LEAP) initiative.
The initiative is working on partnerships in Maine and nine other areas: Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York. In each case, people will adapt two evidence-based models to meet the needs of these youth, including support to address the trauma they may have experienced in their lives.
In Maine, the work will include a pair of successful programs, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) and Jobs for the Future. Results will be carefully tracked, Zanghi said.
After the first year, the program is expected to grow.
"Eventually, the additional help will be available to all children, 14 and over, in the foster care system in the state of Maine," Zanghi said.

I'm completely enamored with this latest collaboration between Sweets Indeed and Found Vintage Rentals. This event was a 4th of July party, but I think you'll agree, it could easily translate into a fun "Americana" themed birthday party. Besides that, all the incredible details could be recreated in any color scheme for even more celebrations.
Sweets Indeed created a superb dessert display incorporating cute food picks, dipped treats with words written in icing, and embelished macarons. Other desserts include fresh berry parfaits served in lided jars, and mini pies.
The banner overhead is one of my absolute favorites utilizing printed burlap layered over fabric swatches.
The party was hosted by Found Vintage Rentals who, of course, provided all the amazing antique/vintage items used for the styling. Some notable display ideas: using an old dart board as a back drop in the drink station; displaying twizzlers in an old wooden box; and serving cake pops on a vintage kitchen scale.
A wonderful favor station was set up with customized paper bags filled with popcorn, an assortment of cookies, and Sweets Indeed signature candy kabobs.
Every inch of this event provides something interesting to look at! For even more photos, visit Sweets Indeed's new blog.
I love to make the sign in the first picture labeled 'sweets'. Does anyone know the font??? Please and thank you! Feel free to email me at [email protected]. Thank you!!!

Pray LyricsYour time of death, my cost to living
Michigan feeling nigga, real white Jordan 6′s
Went to school in the burbs, but don't make no difference
White boys on my team, go harder than niggas
We the best in the game but your coach ain't never listen
Unsigned like a motherfucker, now the labels fishing
Signed a deal a year ago, got out of it cause I ain't feel the dough
Got a cool meal, on black shepherds, I know you but I'm cool bro
All black, all black, all black, my nigga, but you a known Christian
Your mama dressed you for church nigga who you kidding
Dick in the booty ass niggas, you must be shit
They say I'm the greatest in the world, but I'ma tryina live it
Party ass got all the bitches, pg kind agot all the bitches
I'm a treal nigga, in hell figure, my style leave you end up missing
Fashion killer, paris life, hobbing bob Sinclair
3000 electro lights
Walk hard, and my soul glow, 3000 electro nights
Got coke lines in the bathroom, baddes bitches live the wild life
Saw bitches give the best head, standing up on my bed
Or drive a gold cart through the shopping mall
Staring up skirts no draws
Cruising in front of your bitch, parking her whip
Talking…both of y'all need to get off of my dick, dick
A nigga came too far, to live a lie
I die young to be still alive
Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray
Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray
Hah, who is surviving America, on the top floor, hysteria
Looking down to my life, like how the fuck did I marry her?
Life's a bitch but she suck a good dick
Hands fatter than the bottom of a …sitting low on 23 inch
Shush, belly of the beast but I ain't hungry though
Vegan life for you pop rose, I know…flow
Andre …when I walk oh, …sweater when I'm laying low
I'm on the back and neat blowing heylows
With …by the case loads
One day I'ma ball like, jay dub and susu
On a private jet to el ritmo, instagraming my phone too
Wanna play by the…god damn, must be crazy
Fucking like I'm in the 80's, '87 I been that baby
Bombs, bombs, blown away, my swag done fucked your girls away
I sound myself, put your clothes away, rock here the beat, that's a throwaway
Can't find the body, motherfucking cold case, fuck everybody
Y'all no g, middle finger to them niggas dick ride to me
Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray
Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray
My daddy dead, I was born a blessing, born a blessing
Summer time in 92, back seat, I was rolling benzes
… 4 mile blood, I wheel that…
That I knew all life, you niggas gift…
Nigga, you think this the death of a dynasty
This art of war, … of me, I've been quite too long
Jay y nigga pass that loud, smoking on that heaven
Can you see them clouds
Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray
Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray
