The work proposes and activates such situations through a direct and overt act of representation specifically. The event of the work being shaped by the performers' attempts to construct a tangible aural representation of somewhere else – using only fragments of sound captured on 30 pocket dictaphones, drawing, and a handful of Polaroid snapshots for reference. Realised amongst a crowd of unseated spectators within an open and otherwise empty public space, the work is defined and structured by a located attempt to reconstruct the spatial and ambient qualities of one place, from its collected fragments and details, within another place, where it would not otherwise be present.

Subsequent developments having been commissioned and produced by Brown University (Providence, USA), and Salina Arts Centre (Salina, Kansas, USA). The project is expected to culminate in the propositions and public presentations that result from further research residencies and public art commissions produced by Artium (Vitoria, Spain) in 2016. The project is realised within Brookes' ongoing artistic collaboration with Spanish artist and performer Rosa Casado. 'Just a little bit of history repeating' is constituted as a series of context-specific public intervention works that explore the generation and meaning of place. The project returns traces of past or now absent events and places to their original sites. The work has focused largely on reactivating or returning selected elements of archival material, such as archive audio recordings or first hand vocal description, to the site that generated them - the audio being publicly rebroadcast within the location of the event or place that it records or describes. The resulting public works are manifest in the act of that relocation, in the gatherings they proposes, and in the refreshed and personal perspectives of a place that might be revealed through direct meetings with proposed or remembered alternatives to its current uses and understandings. Research questions include: How might an artistic event allow and enable direct and shared public encounters with past or alternative uses of place? How might familiar processes of description and visualisation allow an absent site or event to be directly met, in situ, without simulation or interpretation? If our understanding of the public and social landscapes that we inhabit is shaped by our relationship to their use and history, how might that understanding be revealed, exercised, or renegotiated, through located art practice? In what ways might art engage absent or remembered sites and events within a landscape as a lens to refresh or problematise our vision of that landscapes in the present, and to inform our choices and assumptions about their possible futures? How might performance itself be constituted as a critical situation and social space in the present? Individual public manifestations within the long-term development of the 'Just a little bit of history' project include: 'Alexandra Gardens Bandstand', commissioned and produced by b-side (Weymouth, UK), 2010 'Euskalduna shipyards', commissioned and produced by Bilbao Eszena (Bilbao, Spain) and BAD (Bilbao, Spain), 2011 'Greetings from Salina / crossroads of the nation', commissioned and produced by Salina Art Center (Kansas, USA), 2013 'The historic parking lots of Providence / introduced birdsong', commissioned and produced by Brown University (Providence, USA), 2013 'Providence cove walk / a shoreline no longer there', commissioned and produced by Brown University (Providence, USA), 2013 'As unremarkable as breathing', commissioned and produced by AZALA and Artium (Vitoria, Spain), 2016/17 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z The Past made Present: An Analysis of Twenty-First-Century Steampunk Cinema McAllister, Robbie http://hdl.handle.net/2160/42806 2016-05-04T10:55:46Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z The Past made Present: An Analysis of Twenty-First-Century Steampunk Cinema McAllister, Robbie 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Cantre'r Gwaelod and tales of inundation Christie, Sam http://hdl.handle.net/2160/42782 2016-05-03T13:01:01Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Cantre'r Gwaelod and tales of inundation Christie, Sam This thesis is submitted alongside the film Forecast (2015) to be a submission for the PhD project Cantre'r Gwaelod and Tales of Inundation. The project aims in its entirety to propose film as a mode of enquiry regarding ways in which the dangers of climate change, specifically anthropogenic climate change, can be addressed in a documentary film. Using the possible allegorical power of the Welsh flood myth of Cantre'r Gwaelod, the original aim of the project was to create a documentary film which used this myth as a way to illustrate the effects of a changing climate. During the research, however, it became apparent that myth as a concept presented several points of interest which overall problematised its use in this way. Myth itself could be seen to be present in mass communication because some simplification of complex issues needs to take place in order to make this type of communication possible. Furthermore, it also became clear that the issue of climate change had to some extent been mythologised through a similar process of simplification. This project looks closely at the ways in which this tendency towards mythology in communication, especially regarding complex issues such as climate change, might, in fact hinder the communication of themes and ideas and damage the efficacy as a result. It therefore became obvious that the purpose of this project was to develop a methodology which attempted to communicate through a documentary film in a way that eschewed mythology as much as 2 possible. This written thesis looks at the ways in which this was achieved, both theoretically and practically and details extant work that serves to illustrate this. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Power distribution is interconnected across the country so legislation on a State by State basis is not practical.
Those that really believe in the CO2/ global warming thesis would significantly increase costs for everyone in the US with no assurance that this is a correct thesis and with no chance of making a difference in any case.
Wait and see is the correct policy on this one.
Richard Mackenzie, contributorComments (453) | + Follow Following - UnfollowThis is about Power Generation, which is performed by plants located within the State, so should be under control of the State. And the legal question is not really about GLOBAL WARMING. It's about the power of a State to regulate business activities within the State. The GW stuff is just what triggered the test case.

Quite a night in the L.A. Coliseum for the Oregon Ducks and their thousands and thousands of fans who travelled south for the big game with the USC Trojans.
It must be said that the Coliseum is a spectacular setting for college football. The tailgating scene is big time, and the historic 1932 structure is imposing. USC's traditions, while somewhat stodgy to high-flying Duck fans, are a big part of who they are.
Personally, I'd take a Harley over a horse any day. But I did enjoy the helicopter flyover.
In a game of stark contrasts between offensive and defensive performances, let's look at how Oregon's starters on each side of the ball did.

The Poet as Painter
«... die Grenzen überfliegen». Hermann Hesse the Painter
Together with the Hermann Hesse Museum in Montagnola, the Kunstmuseum Bern is presenting the first retrospective of Hermann Hesse's paintings to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the artist and famous author's decease.
Hesse's work as a visual artist played an important role in his development. His concentrated and complex visual language furnishes us with a key to understanding his personal development, how he comprehended art, and his literary work. This groundbreaking exhibition in regard to Hermann Hesse's reception pays tribute to his contribution to modern art.
In 2012, 100 years will have passed since Hermann Hesse moved to Bern. "Ougspurgergut" in Schosshalde, "Lohn" in Kehrsatz, and Bremgarten castle are the sites that are closely affiliated to Hermann Hesse in Bern and where he sought inspiration and stimulation. Hesse's years in Bern from 1912 to 1919 were not only decisive for his literary work. During this period – in which he wrote Rosshalde, his novel about an artist – he began his largely unknown career as a painter that culminated in the 1920s and 1930s when he lived in Montagnola.
From the time of his very first attempts at painting, the centenary exhibition recalls all the phases in the artist's creative development, the subject matter he tackled, and the genres and styles he experimented with: early sketches of a great diversity of things, large-format water colors, finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings, and small-format illustrations for writings.

ENB report Proceedings
Draft Agenda Aide Memoire Directions for reception
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme is the world's first large-scale GHG trading programme, covering some 7,300 companies and 12,000 installations in 6 major industrial sectors across the enlarged EU. Its implementation will have a profound impact on business and industry carbon management strategies, as industrial emissions increasingly become either an asset or a liability. The EU ETS will also have a major impact on the development of the wider carbon market and on the development of emission reduction projects (CDM and JI) around the world via the implementation of the Linking Directive, which has recently become a subject of intense and controversial debates.
UNIDO, in cooperation with the Government of Hungary, UK Trade and Investment and the European Commission, is organizing a seminar entitled "Linking the Kyoto Project-Based Mechanisms with the EU ETS", that will be held in Vienna, Austria, 15-16 September 2005.
The objective of the seminar is to provide a forum for business to advance the understanding and operationalization of emissions trading and its linkages with the CDM and JI. It will provide an opportunity for expert discussion and knowledge sharing among the countries that recently joined the EU, the accession countries and countries with economies in transition that are themselves likely to become hosts of JI projects.
More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

Propagation losses of the fundamental mode in a single line-defect photonic crystal waveguide on an InP membrane92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1495890View Description Hide Description
We have investigated light propagation through a single line-defect photonic crystal waveguide on a InP membrane. Modal analysis was performed using the finite-difference time-domain method. The fundamental mode has been found to be very close to the fundamental mode in a "refractive" waveguide but, in this case, it is inherently leaky. The propagation losses of this mode in the complete three-dimensional structure have been computed and measured to determine if its use could be of interest for practical applications. Propagation losses in the range of 0.1 dB/μm have been found numerically and experimentally for the fundamental mode whereas stronger out-of-plane losses have been observed for the other leaky mode within the band gap. The origins of the out-of-plane losses were then investigated and have clarified the inherent lower leakage of the fundamental mode.
Effect of concentration on the grating efficiency and ionic conductivity in sodium–magnesium–aluminosilicate glasses92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1497458View Description Hide Description
We report a systematic study of a grating formation in which the in sodium–magnesium–aluminosilicate glasses is varied from 0.76 to 8.11 mol %. The growth, decay, and erasure of the grating are reported as functions of the The maximum persistent change in the index of refraction was The persistent change in the index of refraction was initially a quadratic function of the and showed a limiting behavior at the highest The transient change in the index of refraction was a quadratic function of throughout the range of concentrations studied here. The grating buildup rate increased linearly with The results of this study are consistent with the model published recently by Dixon et al. Ionic conductivities were also measured to help separate the effect of the on the glass network from its active role in transferring the optical energy into ionic motion.
High-temperature operation of a third-order mode optically pumped semiconductor laser92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1499217View Description Hide Description
Semiconductor lasers with third-order waveguide mode emission are a promising route toward compact twin-photon sources. In these structures, emission on the third-order mode is required for satisfaction of the phase-matching condition between the pumping frequency and fundamental modes at half frequency and so the production of twin photons. Phase matching depends critically on sample temperature through the dependence of the effective refractive indices of the sample. The dependence of laser mode emission on the temperature of a semiconductor structure specially designed for third-order mode emission at 775 nm is studied. It is shown that the third-order mode emission is preserved up to 40 °C whereas a contribution from other modes becomes significant above that temperature.
Improvement in light-output efficiency of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum well light-emitting diodes by current blocking layer92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1497467View Description Hide Description
The fabrication and characterization of an InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum well(MQW)light-emitting diode(LED) with a current blocking layer inserted beneath the p-pad electrode is described. The light-output power and external quantum efficiency for the InGaN/GaN MQWLED chip with a current blocking layer were significantly increased compared to those for the conventional InGaN/GaN MQWLED chip. The increase in the light-output power can be attributed to the injection of additional current into the light-emitting quantum well layer of the LED by the current blocking layer and a reduction in parasitic optical absorption in the p-pad electrode.
Thermally induced transmission variations in photonic band gap structures92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1499981View Description Hide Description
We investigate thermally induced transmission variations in a 3.6-μm-thick photonic band gapstructure by means of a pump–probe setup, in the 600–700 nm range, under cw pump conditions. An induced temperature increase is responsible for the thermal expansion of the layers, as well as changes in the index of refraction. As a result, the band gapstructure is redshifted by several nanometers. The initial transmission of the probe beam was restored following the removal of the pump laser, thus indicating the reversible nature of the process.
Accurate identification of the band gap of photonic crystals from transmission spectra92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1499982View Description Hide Description
The transmission spectra of a three-dimensional photonic crystal for various incident angles was examined. When the incident angle is not normal to the surface of the crystal, the direction of the wave vector of light is sensitive to the frequency. In order to compare the experimental band edge with the theoretical band diagram, we calculated the band diagram of the frequency versus the incident angle by converting the ordinary band diagram, which is ordinarily expressed as the diagram of the frequency versus the internal wave vector. As a result of the comparison, the changes of the band edge which was obtained in the experimental transmission measurement agreed well with the theoretical changes. It became clear that the two-step attenuation of transmission which is at large incident angles is caused by the split of the first and the second band edge (also the third and the fourth band edge) at large incident angles.
Synthesized rare-earth doped oxide glasses for nonlinear optics92(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1498888View Description Hide Description
Photostimulated nonlinear optical effects in synthesized (PGBC) glassesdoped by and rare-earth ions were discovered. Temperature-dependentmeasurements of optical photoinduced second-harmonic generation (PISHG) and two-photon absorption were performed in the infrared (IR) range. CO pulse laser (λ=5.5 μm, energy power density up to 3.8 per pulse) was applied as a source of IR-photoinducing and probing (fundamental) light. Absolute values of the PISHG were more than 22% higher than corresponding values obtained for other glasses: [1] or [2] type. The investigated PGBC system possesses a shorter time response (about 18 ps), compared with other IR nonlinear optical glasses. We have also established that all nonlinear optical susceptibilities are dependent on the type of ion. A maximal value of the PISHG is achieved for the glassesdoped by The PISHG values increase significantly below 25 K. We have carried out ab initio molecular dynamics and quantum chemical simulations in order to evaluate the possible contribution of electron–phonon anharmonic interactions in the observed phenomena. We have modeled the influence of the external CO photoinduced beam through the photoinduced anharmonic electron-phonon interactions. A decrease of the delaying time response is achieved. To obtain independent confirmation of the observed dependencies, we have carried out measurements of the during the external IR pumping. We have also compared the measured and theoretically calculated dependencies of the IR-induced effects.

This building housed Petersburg's hospital back in 1938.
April 28, 1982 - Mr. L.J. Jackson, MSC Manager for Southeast Alaska announced April 20, the appointment of Jonathan Ness as Postmaster of the Petersburg, Alaska post office. The actual date of his installation as Postmaster will be forthcoming as soon as official word is received from our Headquarters office. Mr. Ness was selected through the Postmaster Merit Selection Program.
April 23, 1992 - Petersburg schools are trying to prevent drugs and alcohol use among teenagers. But they also accept donations from drinking establishments, whose names are then displayed in the high school gymnasium and school swimming pool.
The Petersburg School Board on Tuesday night briefly discussed the implications of displaying the names of financial sponsors whose primary business is selling alcohol.
"We are sending a mixed message [to students]," board member John Forney said.
The issue came up because of a letter by parent Robert Oyler. He suggested that the schools might display the names of the owners of the businesses which donate money, rather than the names of the businesses themselves.
April 18, 2002 - The spouses of roughly a dozen state governors are scheduled to stop in Petersburg on Tuesday, April 23, as part of a larger tour through Southeast Alaska aboard the MV Kennicott.
The spouses are participating in an April 22-24 National Governor's Association seminar hosted this year by Alaska First Lady Susan Knowles. States rotate hosting duties for such events.

text: Hi Scott, You've informed me in a separate article of yours that because I keep on paying for my fha loan even after my bk was discharged that the countdown cant start from bk but instead from the time when and if I foreclosed or short sale my house. I have been reading a lot of your articles since I discovered it the other day and I just learned about Homepath option by reading another article today. Now my question is since my current loan is FHA and its no longer showing on my credit report, if I apply for homepath loan, are they going to see that I still have a mortgage that I am paying on? Would they also see in maybe public records if I foreclosed or short sale? Lastly, how long after bk or foreclosure would some usually wait in order to qualify for Homepath? Thank you so much, I really appreciate all the info I'm learning from you, James

|In-situ X-ray diffraction studies during growth of Ni-Ti shape memory alloy films and their complementary ex-situ characterization
|Martins, Rui Miguel dos Santos
|Fernandes, Francisco Manuel Braz
Schell, Norbert
|Defense Date:
|Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Ni-Ti films have attracted much interest as functional and smart materials due to their unique properties. However, there are still important issues unresolved like formation of film texture and its control as well as substrate effects. Thus, the main challenge is not only the control of the microstructure, including stoichiometry and precipitates, but also the identification and control of the preferential orientation since it is a crucial factor in determining the shape memory behaviour. The aim of this PhD thesis is to study the optimisation of the deposition conditions of films of Ni-Ti in order to obtain the material fully crystallized at the end of the deposition, and to establish a clear relationship between the substrates and texture development. In order to achieve this objective, a two-magnetron sputter deposition chamber has been used allowing to heat and to apply a bias voltage to the substrate. It can be mounted into the six-circle diffractometer of the Rossendorf Beamline (ROBL) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), Grenoble, France, enabling an in-situ characterization by X-ray diffraction(XRD) of the films during their growth and annealing. The in-situ studies enable us to identify the different steps of the structural evolution during deposition with a set of parameters as well as to evaluate the effect of changing parameters on the structural characteristics of the deposited film. Besides the in-situ studies, other complementary ex-situ characterization techniques such as XRD at a laboratory source, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy(RBS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (X-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrical resistivity (ER) measurements during temperature cycling have been used for a fine structural characterization. In this study, mainly naturally and thermally oxidized Si(100) substrates, TiN buffer layers with different thicknesses (i.e. the TiN topmost layer crystallographic orientation is thickness dependent) and MgO(100) single crystals were used as substrates. The chosen experimental procedure led to a controlled composition and preferential orientation of the films. The type of substrate plays an important role for the texture of the sputtered Ni-Ti films and according to the ER results, the distinct crystallographic orientations of the Ni-Ti films influence their phase transformation characteristics.

City commissioners are expected to discuss a proposed panhandlers ordinance when they meet in an open work session tonight.
Cedartown City Manager Bill Fann will present the proposal to the full commission during the session tonight.
The idea of a comprehensive ordinance dealing with the issue of panhandling has been tossed around various city commissioners over the past few months. This is the first time the issue has made it to an official meeting.
However, commissioners will not be taking any action on the matter this week.
Commissioners will also hear from the city manager on the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing. According to the State of Georgia government website, the Initiative offers communities a three-year program of collaboration and technical assistance related to housing and community development. The objective of the Initiative is to help communities create and launch a locally based plan to meet their housing needs.
The city commission meets in their work session tonight at 6:00 p.m. in the commission meeting room at Cedartown City Hall on East Avenue. The meeting is open to the public.
Christmas comes early in Cedartown with the Fourth Friday Concert Series and Cruise-In coming up this Friday in Downtown Cedartown.
According to organizer Jennifer Hulsey, people who attend the concert and cruise-in are asked to bring a new toy to donate.
"We thought we would start early this year and have some new toys that people can give," said Hulsey. "Polk County gives back all the time and we thought it would be a good time to do that."
The cruise-in begins at 6:00 p.m. on Prior Street, with a cruise down Main Street happening just before that.
Mr. Sinai Baptist Church and Galilee Baptist Church youth ministries will be providing food and drinks at the cruise-in and concert.
The live music begins at 7:00 p.m., says Hulsey.
"If you had fun last time, you're going to have even more fun this time because we are adding another band," said Hulsey. "Prior Station will be playing for us and Khaotik will be back by popular demand."
Again the Fourth Friday Concert and Cruise-In begins at 6:00 p.m. this Friday with the cruise-in and the live music with Prior Station and Khaotik begins at 7:00.
The City of Cedartown Fire Department, along with the Junior Service League and The Exchange Club will be sponsoring a fan give-a-away this Friday and Saturday – June 29th and 30th.

Black genealogy blogs abound on the Internet. The sites range from modest — limited to bloggers' personal tales about researching their great-grandma — to extensive, with photos, documents and links that may help you advance your own research. You can dive into Genealogy Blog Finder's African American Genealogy Blogs page (on Facebook, go here) to search for blogs by subject, such as surname or topics.
The five genealogy blogs included here were chosen because they are broad and detailed enough to be useful for beginner, intermediate and advanced researchers.
Are you a Virginia researcher? Then check out the African-American Families Database. According to the site, "the African-American Families Database project is hosted by the Central Virginia History Researchers (CVHR), a unique partnership between local historians, anthropologists, database designers, and community residents. CVHR is developing an on-line database for connecting African-American families to their antebellum roots and tracing patterns of community formation in the post-bellum period."
The blog also gives information about meetings held by the CVHR group. Although the full title of the database project indicates that it is restricted to "Community Formation in Albemarle County, Virginia, 1850-1880," the group has a diverse list of speakers at its meetings and includes meeting topics about other Virginia counties. The blog archives date back to 2009.
The African-Native American Genealogy Blog — "Reflecting the Lives of Blended Families From African & Native American Families" — is the work of Angela Y. Walton-Raji, one of the Web's most prominent authorities on African-Native American genealogy. Much of the blog chronicles her research of the Five Civilized Tribes (the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole) and their African slaves. She attends conferences and workshops and blogs about her impressions and experiences afterward.
The blog isn't searchable, but there is an archive. It's a well-organized, clean site with uncluttered pages and compelling photos and documents. Her writing is also straightforward and interesting. Few black researchers are as authoritative in studying the ties between African-American freedmen and Native Americans.
Here is her thoughtful commentary from an Oct. 15, 2010, post, "Who Will Meet Me on the Cultural Bridge?" after she attended a September storytellers symposium in Muskogee, Okla.:
After attending the storytellers symposium in Muskogee Oklahoma last month, the concept of being met on the bridge was a wonderful metaphor that continuously comes to my mind.
I was glad to be there with colleagues from the Choctaw and Chickasaw Freedmen community, and with colleagues whose focus is to research, and document our own history. …

A D.C. clothing designer is seeing big business from a simple concept. It involves selling a t-shirt with one word on it.
"'Evolve' was very telling for January. A lot of people are doing New Year's resolutions so I thought the word was meaning for me and I thought that other people would really connect with it also," says Meg Biram.
Last month's red sweatshirt had the simple word "Lover" on it in Biram's own handwriting.
"I wanted to be something that you couldn't just buy anywhere. It's special because there's only a limited edition and it's a design, not a font."
So far her line has been a sellout.
Popular online fashion websites and bloggers have been seen wearing Biram's designs.
"I was hoping that it would spread organically that way, online," she says.
Online is the only place you can get Manifesto tees right now. The online release of the March t-shirt is right around the corner with the new word "Wanderlust."
And if you're wondering how long Biram plans to keep up with her one-word, one-shirt business, she says, "I'm really just open about what happens with it. I don't have a set plan necessarily."
She just hopes more self-made success is on the horizon.

Briefly a big star in Britain in the mid-'60s, Dave Berry faced the same dilemma as several other British teen idols of the era: R&B was obviously nearest and dearest to his heart, but he needed to record blatantly pop material to make the hit parade. It was also obvious that Berry was in fact much more suited toward pop ballads than rough-and-tumble R&B, regardless of his personal preferences. At his peak, his output was divided between hard R&B/rockers and straight pop. Help from ace session players like Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones notwithstanding, his smooth voice was frankly ill-equipped to deliver the goods with anything close to the same panache as Mick Jagger or Eric Burdon on the bluesier items. He made a rather good go of it, on the other hand, with romantic pop/rock ballads, hitting the British Top Ten with "The Crying Game" (1964), Bobby Goldsboro's "Little Things" (1965), and the excruciatingly sentimental "Mama" (1966). "This Strange Effect," written by Ray Davies (though not released by the Kinks), was a huge European hit for him in 1965 as well.
Berry's voice was not exactly teeming with character and he never made the slightest impression on the U.S. market, but the best of his material is quite pleasant period fare. He remains well regarded in his homeland, where the Sex Pistols unexpectedly covered his toughest track, "Don't Gimme No Lip Child." Even more unexpectedly, "The Crying Game" brought Berry's voice to his biggest international audience ever in 1992, when it was used as the theme song for one of the year's most successful films.

Even a 5% improvement in the efficiency of the nation's electricity grid would be equivalent to taking 53 million cars off the road, according to research from the U.S. government. The "smart grid" would allow consumers to tap into alternative energy such as wind, solar and geothermal. "Our energy problems essentially boil down to the fact that we waste too much energy and get too much of that energy from polluting sources," said Steven Biel, global warming campaigner for Greenpeace USA.

We report a highly efficient cryo-cooled eye-safe laser operation of a resonantly-pumped (in-band) Er3+:GdVO4 single crystal. The maximum continuous wave (CW) power of 10.3 W with 84% slope efficiency was achieved at 1598.7 with pumping at 1538.6 nm by a spectrally-narrowed Er-fiber laser. Under the 1529 nm resonant pumping by a commercially available diode bar stack operating in a quasi-CW (QCW) mode, the laser delivered 37 W of output power with 68% slope efficiency. This is believed to be the first reported cryo-cooled Er3+:GdVO4 laser, resonantly-pumped into the 4I15/2 →4I13/2 transition.

The difference between the two types of returns is that soft returns are inserted automatically by the word processor as part of its word wrap capability. Whenever too little room remains on the current line for the next word, the word processor inserts a soft return. The position of soft returns automatically changes, however, if you change the length of a line by adding or deleting words, or if you change the margins.
A hard return, on the other hand, always stays in the same place unless you explicitly delete it. Whenever you press the Return or Enter key, the word processor inserts a hard return. Hard returns are used to create new paragraphs or to align items in a table.

Couple questions, since as I have indicated before I am rather new at this finer footwear thing. For one, what is the general consensus on rubber sole guards for AE shoes? Are they worth it to prolong the life of leather soles? Is there a chance the shoe could be damaged by them. Will AE still service/recraft shoes that have had sole guards put on?

Also wanted to bump this question I posted earlier. Where is the best/cheapest place to buy Saphir Reno? Or is the Hanger Project website the only option?post #8343 of 707378/5/12 at 8:12pm
Lots of debate on SF about sole guards; try a search. The quick answer is, if done by a competent cobbler they will most likely prolong the life of your leather soles. Hanger Project isn't the "only" option for Saphir Reno, but again . . . try a search . . . Google is your friend. For convenience, you can click through from SF to Hanger Project and be done with it.post #8344 of 707378/5/12 at 8:21pm

I don't think AE will recraft the shoe if you put on a sole guard (Topy). I haven't tried so I can't say for sure. Even if they won't, you have some good options like B Nelson for refurbishment.
I bought my Saphir from the Hanger Project. The price is competitive. It's the shipping charge where they get you. Try OnTheFly.

My experience in usig Topys: Before I started wearing AEs I used to wear Cole Haans and Florsheims and other leather soled brands. After the soles would wear down a little, I would get topys. Really cut down on the replacement expense of leather soles. So saved some $. However, after 2 or 3 topy replacements, I think that the leather innards started breaking down. I noticed that the insole was getting lumpy. As a result the shoes were not flat in the forefoot part of the foot. Not comfortable; i think blistery as well.
My theory is that the topys would not let your foot breathe so the midsole part broke down due to moisture. Hence, I no longer do topys.post #8347 of 707378/5/12 at 8:46pmI'm poor so I grabbed a pair of Del Ray's a few years ago at like an "Off 5th Ave" or something- I can't remember. They were chilli but I've been using a black shoe cream on them for the past couple of years. If you keep them in trees and treat them nice they look really good after time. Very versatile shoe. Paid $130 for them so I wasn't out much.post #8348 of 707378/5/12 at 8:48pmI haven't decided if I like the burnishing on the toebox of the Neumora yet. Opinions?post #8349 of 707378/5/12 at 9:53pm
Is the Park Avenue a comfortable shoe for daily wear (4x per week)? If so, is $220 a good price? Thanks for any guidance.

Well here is my thoughts. When you buy shoes, you should try to have at least 3 in rotation, that way you don't wear one pair of shoes every day of the week. No, I'm not suggesting that you go out and drop a grand on AE's, however the intervals of usage will prolong the life of a shoe better than anything else. Currently, I have 6 in rotation for work shoes, 3 of which are AE's. With that being said, if I wear each pair once a week, I will get a couple years use out of them before I have to worry about replacing the soles. 3 years down the line, when I decide to drop $125 on the recraft, that will be well worth it in my opinion.
I do believe Hanger Project is one of the very few (and easiest) websites to get Reno. This is a kind of product that I am fairly certain you are not going to find for much cheaper, so rather than bending over backwards to save a few bucks, take the easy way out and spend the $30 on it (that included the ridiculous shipping price as well.)
Also for sole guards... I have no idea why AE wouldn't recraft shoes with a topy, they are tearing the entire sole off anyways, so who cares of there is a hard rubber guard glued to the bottom of it.. but, i would check with them first before anything.Quote:
Have you seen them in person? They are perfect... not too over the top and dramatic. Just saw them again today... love them and will definitely get them at some point down the line. Also tried the Daltons on... very nice boot, but they are pretty high above the ankle... definitely still leaning more towards getting Alden boots.post #8351 of 707378/5/12 at 10:01pmIf the shoes fits you properly I believe they will. 4x a week may be excessive, consider buying another pair to let the shoes breath for a day. Make sure you use shoetrees and condition your shoes properly.post #8352 of 707378/5/12 at 11:08pm

How do AE's compare to Salvatore Ferragamo?
I do not wear my dress shoes much (still in school) but with time does the leather soften? If so, how much?
Are you guy's familiar with Gravati? How do they compare to AE's?post #8355 of 707378/6/12 at 3:34am
Does a new pair of AE's come with shoe trees or are they purchased separately? If purchased separately, are the AE full toe trees preferred over Woodlore ultra?

In the autumn of 1512, in a farmhouse outside Florence, Machiavelli wrote a short book of advice on how to govern a state, addressed to the Medicis, the recently restored rulers of Florence. The Prince followed a long tradition of advice books begun by Seneca and Cicero. Both Roman authors had advised rulers to be clement, tolerant, generous and peaceful - a line propounded over the centuries.
But Machiavelli gave the Medicis stiffer counsel. If they wanted to survive and lead Florence to glory, they would have to be ready to disregard every traditional "Christian" virtue when circumstances dictated. Cicero had argued that a ruler would turn into a beast if he used force, and a fox if he used fraud. Machiavelli, turning the idea on its head, argued that a ruler had to "imitate both the fox and the lion". He needed to be a centaur, half-man, half-beast, to survive in a harsh world.
It was no use being idealistic and high-minded if the rest of humanity wasn't: "A ruler who does not do what is generally done, but persists in doing what ought to be done, will undermine his power rather than maintain it." Neither should a ruler worry about being thought cruel. "It is much safer to be feared than loved." Rulers should be ready to deceive, kill, plot and torture.
It is common to dismiss Machiavelli as a vulgar immoralist. But the truth is more complex and awkward. Machiavelli fervently believed in good and evil, but the highest good in his eyes was the flourishing of the state, not blood-free hands. The state was the criteria by which actions should be evaluated. Something was bad in so far as it harmed the state, and good in so far as it aided it. However, the qualities which could make you a good ruler were not necessarily those which could make you a good person according to Christian morals. And yet Machiavelli stressed that the moral duty of a good ruler should, in difficult moments, be to the state, not to his Christian conscience. Rulers could be blameless in killing people so long as they did so for the glory of the state (but not otherwise, which is why Machiavelli condemned the noto- rious tyrant Agathocles of Sicily for murdering the entire Senate of Syracuse - an action that was unnecessary for good government).
Machiavelli's writings draw attention to an unfortunate possibility: that we may not be able to be "good" in all areas of our life. Perhaps it is impossible to be an effective ruler and a good Christian, or a good businessman and a humane person, or a great artist and a pleasant person to live with. It points us to a choice - we may have to decide what we truly think of as good, and sacrifice some other virtues in its name. No wonder Machiavelli has been so hated for shattering the lovely idea that we can combine all the virtues.

Forbes.com: no such thing as a self made man.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemyatt/2011/11/15/self-made-man-no-such-thing/ What an excellent article. Years ago, I competed on the most successful college track team in US history. In three years we won three triple crowns. Not one of those was anywhere near achievable without the best effort of *every* individual. If one person fell down usually someone unexpected stood up and bridged the gap for us. My greatest passion in life and work is seeing people understand this aspect of success. There may be occasional moments where one is so strong and so competent as to field a team of one, but it's always so fleeting you barely notice when you've stumbled again.Read More →

Jealousy Incarnate is not "only on Dramafever. It is also on Kissasian.com.
PARADISE is perfect — in story, direction, cinematography, acting and every other way. It is a story of salvation, focusing on a woman who has committed a misdeed she believes is unforgivable. Throughout, the pace is gentle. The main theme music, "Danny Boy," fits the mood and theme of the film flawlessly. A visual theme of seeds punctuates the story and the theme of rebirth. At first the "seeds" are snowflakes falling as the young woman is released from prison. On Paradise Island we see real flower seeds being thrown into the air, taken by the wind and scattered across the island. Fireworks at a celebration explode like bright seeds and herald a new time of hope and joy for the islanders. All involved in making this film deserve the highest praises. They have mastered their art.
This historical drama is the best thing I have ever seen -- or perhaps I should say experienced. I was hooked from episode one until the end, and watched the whole thing is a little over a week. This, and the other Korean dramas I have seen, have completely ruined American TV and motion pictures for me. They are such exploitative trash. I have tried to convince friends to see this, and so far have failed. I feel like I am the only person in the world who has seen "Gone with the Wind" or "Star Wars", but I can't persuade anyone else to watch. Oh well. It is their loss.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 197 reviews
Great neighborhood with fantastic eateries and close to u station. The staff was not very helpful and did not understand English well. Kitchenette was tiny and not well equipped. If you have luggage you have to drag it for 100 meters and then you have to carry it several steps before you reach the elevator.
Because the hotel was fully booked, they gave us a "komfortzimmer" instead of our booked appartment. We were not satisfied.
I had an excellent stay at the Hotel and Apartments Zarenhof Prenzlauer Berg. This was my first visit in Berlin and I loved the city and staying at the Zarenhof made everything easier. The location of the hotel is perfect, very close to the metro and numerous restaurants and coffee places, as well as city attractions. I recommend the Zarenhof Prenzlauer Berg fully!

Shredding is not an option anymore. There are countless Massachusetts laws that mandate proper disposal of confidential business documents. Additionally, FACTA and HIPAA are federal laws that require the shredding of personal information before it is disposed.
In addition, throwing away personal information is opening you and your family up to identity theft, fraud, and tremendous long-term damage. Thieves still consider your mailbox and trash the best source for personal information.
Make sure you are not leaving them anything they can use to steal your identity and open credit cards in your name. Have a shredding truck come out to your home for the paper shredding your information deserves.
Knowing what to shred is one thing- but what's the most efficient way to do the job? A professional shredding service can shred mountains of documents quickly. Since the paper is shredded finely and co-mingled with other documents, you're decreasing the chance of a data breach or low-tech hack.
After the paper is destroyed you receive a certificate of destruction for your records. This is your verification that the work was done properly and in compliance with your records retention program- and your peace of mind.
Let us help you protect your clients today: (617) 517-3036.
Disposing of your files is just as important as how they are stored. A secure shredding program will protect you from these threats.
It will also help you reduce the amount of files you have on hand, the number of vulnerabilities your document management program has, and decrease the change of a data breach or low-tech hack. Click here to learn more!
Our partners offer several different options for your shredding needs, including:
Boston Shredding and Records can match you with services that pick up your documents to be shredded onsite or offsite as often as you want. You can choose:

TUESDAY, March 15, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Even if farmers stopped using nitrogen fertilizers today, levels of dangerous nitrates in rivers and lakes would remain high for decades, researchers report.
Canadian scientists analyzed more than 2,000 soil samples from the Mississippi River Basin and found an accumulation of nitrogen. This buildup was not evident in the upper "plow" layer, but instead was found 2 inches to 8 inches beneath the soil surface.
"We hypothesize that this accumulation occurred not only because of the increased use of fertilizers, but also increases in soybean cultivation and changes in tillage practices over the past 80 years," researcher Kim Van Meter, a doctoral student at the University of Waterloo in Canada, said in a university news release.
Nitrogen fertilizers have been contaminating rivers and lakes and getting into drinking water wells for more than 80 years, the researchers said. Nitrates in drinking water pose a number of health risks, they added.
Their findings suggest that this nitrogen could still find its way into waterways decades after being applied to the fields.
The study was published March 15 in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
"A large portion of the nitrogen applied as fertilizer has remained unaccounted for over the last decades," Nandita Basu, a Waterloo professor, said in the news release.
"The fact that nitrogen is being stored in the soil means it can still be a source of elevated nitrate levels long after fertilizers are no longer being applied," Basu added.
