London Charity recruitment agency listing
Those seeking a role within the charity sector may wish to consider London as their base. As the capital city, London is home to a wide range of charities operating within different sectors, including homelessness charity Crisis, cancer charity Macmillan and heart health charity the British Heart Foundation.
It is not just head office roles that are available, however, with many choosing to pursue fundraising roles, either over the phone or face to face.
Charity roles do not tend to be particularly well paid, with those who opt for a career in this industry doing so because of their philanthropic nature. Salaries for London-based roles, however, do tend to be slightly higher than those advertised by recruitment agencies elsewhere in the country, with salaries generally starting at around £17,000 and rising to over £40,000 for some more senior roles.
The range of roles available is large, from campaign managers to media relations roles. Whether your background is in fundraising, marketing, communications or IT, you will find a role in the charity sector that will suit your experience. There is much competition for paid roles, however: having an internship and plenty of unpaid work in the sector will boost your chances in the charity sector.

Comments: I thought this looked too big in the box and had been eyeing it to replace my unreliable Garmin. Finally bought it and glad I did. I like the buttons instead of the touch/bezel stuff. It's light and has the familiar Timex feel
if you have ever used an Ironman before. Customizable fields to display set through the device agent or through the watch. In my book, Garmins are trendy but not made for the real athlete. The firmware, support, hr belt,bezel/touch are underperform for a lot of features that dont work very well. This watch cost a little over $200 and is a rock solid performer

Depending upon which chemist you ask, rare earth elements consist of either: the so-called lanthanide series (elements having atomic numbers from 57 [corresponding to lanthanum] to 71 [corresponding to lutetium]) or the actinide (elements 89 to 103) and lanthanide series.

Jazz Katz: Jazz In N.Y.
A number of books have brought classic jazz photography to coffee tables around the world. While it's nice and historically significant to have images by William Claxton, Francis Wolff and Herman Leonard in this large-scale format, it also serves to collect the lives and times of current players that continue to blaze new musical trails. Jazz Katz: Jazz in N.Y. collects 175 images taken between 1991, when former skier and mountaineer Jimmy Katz began shooting at recording sessions and concerts, and more recent years. Some of the musicians have since passed on, but the images on these pages capture the current vitality of the music.
In the book's introduction, producer Michael Cuscuna talks about Katz's ability to portray the intimacy and immediacy of the musicians. This holds true whether his subject is onstage, backstage or at home. The last setting in particular reveals quite a bit about their personalities. Roy Haynes, who hides behind shades in most photographs, sits at home at his piano, staring into the lens with an enthusiastic and welcoming glare. Wayne Shorter, wearing a Superman shirt, stares at a desk filled with sheet music, a soprano saxophone and two books by science fiction author Lois McMaster Bujold. Multiple shots of Sonny Rollins range from saturnine to mischievous.
Katz's exterior shots of the Blue Note and Village Vanguard could be considered commentary on the music's future. Both show virtually empty sidewalks beneath the awnings, where crowds should clamor. The other pages prove that jazz is a living, breathing entity, but these two seem to state that it's up to everyone to keep it alive.

Mr SheardA perfect purchase - I'd waited 3 weeks for another company who had the product in a remote warehouse and eventually I gave up. I ordered from Merlin Cycles after speaking with the sales team and my Campagnolo Chorus 11-29 cassette was here the next day. Surprisingly light, straightforward to fit, and gear changes are crisp and smooth. Couldn't be happier with the product or with the service provided.
Mr MasserCampagnolo quality. Work flawlessly. Campagnolo - what else needs to be said.
Mr FERNANDESThe campagnolo cassettes are exceptional, it works perfectly, the gear changes are perfect, not to mention its durability is actually higher than other brands.
Mike in VegasGreat Campagnolo quality. 25% heavier than my super record cassette but at 50% of the super record price. I can live with that.
Dr JuhlGreat value for money. Probably the best value 11s Campagnolo casette on the market. Last one lasted app 10000 km. Fast international shipping from Merlin. Would use again!
Mr ShirakashiChorus cassete is bit heavier than that of Record but more durable. I prefer this.
VelottanteCampa Chorus cassette's are always the best option for quality, price/performance value. Have just put this on so everything is smooth & doing what it should.
VinerIf you run Campy 11 speed this is the way to go. Only a few grams heavier than Record and it will last much longer if you use any of the larger cogs. Great price at Merlin Cycles
ShedheadarabiaGreat quality cassette, Campag wears in, rather than wears out!
Mr Antonio M.I have all Record/Super Record components on my bike, but I prefer a Chorus cassette for durability and couldn`t care less about the small amount of extra weight. I also love the 12-27, it's the perfect spread for me.
Andrew A McLarenThe Chorus cassette is the best value of Campagnolo's 11s gear clusters: durable, teeth won't chip like some of the aftermarket alternatives (which are also heavier), and now available in seven diferent ratios. No annoying 3-tooth jumps in the low gear range for any of them. This ensures a great progession of gear changes when using a compact or mid compact crank, with a 16 tooth chainring difference. With good chain maintenance, it will be no problem getting 20,000+ km before it becomes too worn.
Mr ReillyI have never had problems with Campy-- yes, it wears out like all gear, but high quality
Mr VizzocaI have all Campognolo on my Wilier and feel the components function flawlessly. Can't justify spending more for Record , so have been using Chorus for years and like the durability. I just upgraded from 10 speed to 11 and like to lower gear for climbing some local hills with less effort.
BainesNicely made and bought to run 11 speed on my 2012 Zipp 808 wheel set. Quite heavy but hoping this translates into longer life
Mr ManGreat price and with the right tools easy to fix to wheel. Smooth running drivetrain which will help with better speeds. Super quick delivery.
possum JenkinsAs a consumable this makes much more sense than the record/super record equivalent & the extra weight is negligible. Lovely crisp shifting and campag reliability, just wish they'd do an 11-27.
Tim RobinsonThis speaks for itself. Quality Campag gear. Whatever your ratio (I have 3 different ones) you know it's going to last and work beautifully.
Mr PrinsHi, the Campy Chorus 11 speed cassette is an affordable alternative to the Record/Super Record cassettes which retail at more than twice the price. I find the Chorus cassette to be just as smooth as the more expensive models and seeing as it is a wearing part, (I normally change the cassette and chain at the same time) it is difficult to see the logic in spending the extra - other than for the saving of a few grams? I am also much more comfortable in purchasing a Campy manufactured cassette, as opposed to an after-market brand. The price of the cassette from Merlin's is first rate so for my money, the Chorus is excellent value.
Nicknice quick delivery, usual high quality campag product, no complaints.
Mr AppelqvistGood quality comes with a price.

SR9182 - Survival of pathogens during storage of livestock manures
The Ministry funded this project through the New Directions Research Program in 2006.
Lead researcher
Dr. Ann Huber, Soil Resource Group (EDITOR"S NOTE: researcher's contact information not available)
Expected benefits
The results will contribute to science-based development of standards and regulations relating to the Nutrient Management Act and will aid producers in manure management decisions aimed at reducing the pathogen risk to the environment resulting from land application of livestock manure.
This study did not demonstrate large or consistent differences in pathogen reduction rates between covered and uncovered beef manure piles. However, covering manure piles has other benefits, in particular reducing contaminated runoff or leaching from piles and subsequent contamination of the surrounding environment. Pathogen die-off was much faster in the summer than in the winter, and hence shorter storage times are required in the summer to achieve significant reductions. While the current study was not set up to examine the effect of aeration, it was also observed that air entering the interior of the piles through the sampling tubes, promoted composting and hence pathogen reduction. This indicates that even passive aeration could be a beneficial management practice. The effect and management implications should be further quantified for Ontario
Because the broiler litter used in this study heated so quickly causing very rapid pathogen die-off, we were unable to demonstrate a difference in pathogen decline between any of the conditions tested (under roof versus outdoor storage; winter versus summer). However, storage of poultry litter under roof has the other environmental benefits of reducing runoff and associated pathogen and nutrient contamination of surrounding environment, and reducing odour and ammonia losses to the atmosphere.
Indicator and pathogen levels at the end of each storage period at land application time were determined for standard and modified manure management under winter and summer storage conditions. Potential E.coli loadings have been determined for typical application rates for each manure type for raw and stored manures.
In all cases, storage of manure without fresh additions, promoted pathogen reduction. The level of pathogen reduction achieved is a function of manure type, (liquid or solid, and percent dry matter), temperature, and time. This provides for some simple, cost-effective management options to achieve significant levels of environmental risk reduction. Seasonal differences in storage times required for pathogen reduction must be accounted for.

Introducing Ben LeRoux: "Fellowship Hall" EP Pays Respects To 2-Tone and Reggae
One month into 2015, I think I have discovered an artist who deserves a wider audience and one that many of us may be talking more about when we write out our Top 10 lists this coming December.
Meet Ben LeRoux, a San Juan, Puerto Rico-based musician and producer (by way of Bridgeport, CT) who has just released a stunning 4-song EP "Fellowship Hall." The album, which is available for free on Bandcamp, is a terrific mix of Specials-styled 2-Tone ska (with strong hints of The Slackers and Tim Armstrong's ska projects) and old school 60's reggae instrumentals.
LeRoux, a self-admitted child of the 90's who listened to Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden, later discovered ska and reggae, becoming a true convert and disciple. His EP, which references the space in a church which is used for wedding receptions, family functions and community events, is the perfect metaphor for the music, which is devoted to, dedicated to and inspired by the sounds of artists that form the revered canon of ska and reggae. Even the artwork for the EP, is an homage to 2-Tone. Stream the entire EP below:
Before releasing his new EP, LeRoux has experimented with creating post-modern versions of 2-Tone era classics. Have a listen to his version of The Specials "I Can't Stand It" which contrasts the seething bitterness and bile in the lyrics with sweet synths and keys, as well as his quirky muzak/chip tune take on the Bad Manners gem "Lip Up Fatty."

Seasons Greetings from Marco On The Bass!
Seasons Greetings! I want to thank everyone who visited my blog during 2014 and has supported what I do here, which is to share my love and passion for ska and reggae music. Though I haven't been as active as I would like, I have traded time behind the computer to start a new band -- Rude Boy George -- record a 9-song album called "Confessions" and launch a digital ska label called Trilby Records.
While I miss blogging about ska (and I intend to continue), it was time to put more energy into creating and playing music. I hope to be more active in 2015. At the very least, I will blog when I can and continue to share updates on my musical travels.
In the meantime, please enjoy Rude Boy George's ska version of the Wham! holiday classic "Last Christmas!" Here's wishing all of you a safe and happy holiday season and happy new year!

Rude Boy George Album Pre-Release: "Confessions" Features Ska & Reggae Versions of 80's New Wave
Hello everyone! I hope you have all been well! I've been away from blogging for some time, but with good reason -- I've been BUSY. As some of you may know, I started a new band called Rude Boy George nearly two years ago with a goal of performing and recording ska and reggae versions of 80's new wave.
I'm proud and excited to announce that the first Rude Boy George LP "Confessions" is finally finished. My band mates and I are very proud of what we have created with our producer Wayne "Waylo" Lothian and can't wait for you to hear it! In fact, if you pre-order the 9-track album now from Bandcamp, you will receive an immediate download of our version of the Berlin classic "The Metro" and receive a link for the whole album when it is released on December 5, 2015. Here is a video for the song:
Much like UB40's Labor Of Love series, "Confessions" is our way of paying tribute to the new wave artists and songs that meant the most to us when we were growing up. The nine new wave songs we picked to wrap up in a loving ska and reggae embrace were originally recorded between 1981 and 1983--a period that corresponds with the explosion of 2 Tone ska, reggae, and new wave on the radio, MTV and in 80s movies. Each song is a unique, three-minute confession of some kind--about relationships, love, or the meaning of life.
I've also been busy helping to launch Trilby Records, a new digital ska and reggae label, that will not only put out our music, but the music of our very talented friends and band mates. More on that soon.
In the meantime, check out our revamped website which features more information about the band.
Thanks for your support and now back to more regular blog posts about ska and reggae!

The Beat - Peel Sessions
John Peel. His name alone conveys musical gravitas. Peel probably made more of a contribution to British music (and its effect on the rest of the world) in the last 50 years than anyone else. As a DJ on UK's Radio 1, he spoke to succeeding waves of kids and was responsible for breaking new bands such as Radiohead, The Undertones, The Clash, The Smiths, Pulp, T-Rex, New Order and many, many more. And after a lifetime of listening to more music than most of us could ever hope to do, Peel rated The Beat as one of his favorite bands of all time.
He first crossed paths with the band at a University gig in Birmingham where he was booked as a DJ. Supporting him was a local, unknown Birmingham band called The Beat. Peel was so blown away by the band that he swapped his £800 check with the band for their £80 check and invited them to come record a live radio session for his show. He then promoted them on his show regularly and helped to make them big in the UK and Europe. Peel's affection for the band was obvious as he invited them to record three sessions for his show.
Each session is a microcosm of the band during the three distinct phases they went through. The first session from November 1979, features songs from the first LP "I Just Can't Stop It" and is notable for the fact that it does not include Saxa, so "Tears Of A Clown", "Ranking Full Stop" and "Mirror In The Bathroom" sound closer to the way they did when the band first started performing. Ranking Roger's toasting is more prominent and punk edge more apparent. David Steele's bass lines still astound for their creativity.
The second session from September 3, 1980 demonstrates an amazing maturity and complexity in the songwriting from the session less than one year earlier. Both the non-album tracks "Too Nice To Talk To" and "Psychedelic Rockers" are real soundscapes that incorporate every influence the band could fit into one song (pop, reggae, calypso, Afro-beat). Saxa's playing on these two tracks is also some of the best I have heard. I was also struck by how much better the album tracks from the "Whappen" LP sounded, particularly "Monkey Murders".
The final session from March 1982, previewed songs from the "Special Beat Service" LP that was released later that year. The distinction between the pop and reggae numbers is clearer though the version of "Save It For Later" is sublime and "dirty" sounding, and is so much better than the recorded version we are all familar with. The reggae numbers are among the best by the band that I have heard.
As a huge fan of The Beat, its a real treat to listen to these sessions. Each one has something slightly different or unique about it that is distinct from the recorded versions you are used to hearing. First, there is a freshness that comes from the live recorded nature of the songs. Next, you can hear subtleties that you have never noticed before. A new guitar lick here or varied melody from Saxa on an extended solo. It puts their talent and songwriting on another level.

Impressions of the "Return Of The Rude Boy" Exhibit In London
What does it mean to be a Rude Boy in the 21st Century? Is it a fashion statement? Is it a musical statement? Is it an attitude? Is it all of the above?
"Return Of The Rude Boy" attempts to answer these questions. It is an immersive exhibition in London running through the end of August, that explores the style, swagger and significance of the 21st century Rude Boy. It features original photography, film, installations and live events. Curated by photographer and filmmaker Dean Chalkley and creative director Harris Elliott, it celebrates the sharply dressed individuals who exemplify an important and rarely documented subculture. The exhibit has generated significant U.K. media interest, including coverage in The Guardian, Channel 4, and GQ Magazine and many more.
That said, I wanted a first-hand impression of the exhibit, so I asked my good friend and Bigger Thomas/Rude Boy George band mate, Roger Apollon, who is in the U.K. on a family vacation, to visit the exhibit and share his impressions. But first, you need to know that Roger is a Rude Boy. He could have been included in this exhibition. When I was looking to start a ska band back in the late 80's, I briefly saw Roger on a train platform decked out in sunglasses, a pork pie hat, a Specials t-shirt and brothel creepers. I stood in shock. Here was a real Rude Boy in New Brunswick, New Jersey! I lost sight of him when the train arrived and departed. Later that summer he magically appeared on my apartment doorstep clutching a flyer I had posted looking for musicians to start a ska band. The rest is history.
Roger has his own Rude Boy style that is modern but also includes touches of old school Rude Boys. He is never without his pork pie hat (he has summer and winter versions) and often wears suits. More than that, he exudes a style that is effortlessly cool and confident.
After visiting the exhibit, Roger shared his thoughts and some incredible pictures.
Return Of The Rude Boy is a tight and precise exhibit that was an inspiration to Rude boys everywhere! As you walk in to the the austere setting of Somerset House, you are welcomed by a pulsing soundtrack of reggae and ska. The portraits are exquisite as each man and woman captured is not styled; they are in their natural and VERY cool state.
As I walked through, I was not only inspired but struck how "Rude Boy Culture" is not about style of clothes (although the clothes were extremely stylish), but more about the character of the individual. They are unique, confident and against the grain but not for the sake of being different.
To me, it felt like a sort of homecoming as I saw bits of my past, present and future reflected in these portraits. If you're in London before the end of the summer, check out this amazing (and FREE) exhibit!

Rare Live Footage of The Beat From The Capitol Theatre In September 1980
Over the past two years, the wonderfully amazing Music Vault has been remastering more than 13,000 concert videos, which they are now posting up on YouTube. The footage spans the last five decades and features performances by a wide array of legendary artists.
I recently came across footage of a fantastic live performance of The Beat from the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey from September, 1980. The Capitol Theatre was built in 1926 as a vaudeville house, and later served as a movie theater. Promoter John Scher bought the property and converted it into a venue for rock concerts. Throughout the 1970s and into the mid-1980s, the 3,200 seat theatre was a popular stop on nearly every major rock artist's tour. The venue was known for its in house video system which resulted in a number of good quality, black and white video bootlegs.
The Beat were the support act for The Pretenders in what would be their very first tour of the U.S. during the fall of 1980. As such the band receive a muted response from fans of Chrissie Hynde and company who were likely perplexed by the punky reggae sounds of the multiracial septet from Birmingham. As a side note, I procured tickets to see this show without telling my parents who forbid me to attend on a school night when I let them know the day before the show. I was forced to sell the tickets at school to classmates who made sure to let me know what I had missed the next day!
The video is a must watch for anyone who missed the band in their prime. Shot from a variety of camera angles with remastered sound, the footage reveals The Beat at the height of their powers -- Psychedelic Rockers and Mirror In The Bathroom are both breathtaking. Saxa in particular is a revelation as his melodic riffs and solos reach sublime heights. Its also great to hear the keyboard work of Dave Blockhead whose playing was often overlooked in the band's records.
Here is the set list and set timing:
00:00 : Hands Off She's Mine
02:49 : Psychedelic Rockers
06:10 : Noise In This World
08:27 : Big Shot
11:29 : Tears Of A Clown

The Specials First Single "Gangsters" Was Released 35 years Ago Today!
The Specials first single, Gangsters, was released exactly 35 years ago on July 28, 1979! According to the excellent 2-Tone.Info:
Having been rejected by numerous record companies The Specials decided to release a self-financed single. If the legend is to be believed the single was recorded for a mere £700 financed by a 'sort of' local businessman by the name of 'Jimbo'. It is said that a piano part on the track took up most of the studio time and as a result only one track, Gangsters, was recorded.
Needing a b-side the band turned to an instrumental track Noel Davis had recorded two years previously in 1977 with drummer John Bradbury and trombonist, Barry Jones. Originally titled 'The Kingston Affair' the track got a slight reworking and was re-titled The Selecter. The track also came complete with it's own unique catalogue number, which may seem unusual but was actually quite common with old ska and reggae singles.
The single was initially distributed via Rough Trade Records, who persuaded the band to produce 5,000 copies, twice what the band had originally intended. The single was issued in a plain white sleeve stamped by the band themselves with the words THE SPECIAL A.K.A 'Gangsters' Vs THE SELECTER. The band then signed to Chrysalis Records, who were more than happy to sign both The Specials and the 2 Tone label. Chrysalis pressed up more copies of the single in the now familiar 2 Tone sleeve resulting in a top 10 hit and the biggest selling independent single of the year.
Original Specials drummer Silverton Hutchinson had left the band just prior to the recording of Gangsters and was replaced by John Bradbury, and as a result Bradbury was the only person to play on both sides of the labels debut single.

Share of the Work Force in a Union Falls to a 97- Year Low, 11.3%
Unions are losing their ground in states across the country. Union members fell by 400,000 last year to 14.3 million. Unions are down to their lowest membership since 1916. Labor specialists speculate laws rolling back the power of Unions in states like Wisconsin and Indiana have something to do with decreased membership. Reducing collective bargaining rights and enacting the right to work, could be causing workers to lose sight of what the unions believe are their value propositions.
Unfortunately, Georgia is one state that has increased Union membership, but one can hope eventually the perspective other states with decreasing membership, will eventually catch on. Read more here.

CNJ staff
City staff reviewed petition signatures, and enough were verified Tuesday to force a special election on the city's affordable housing plan, passed May 5 by the Clovis City Commission.
The commission will hold a special meeting, tentatively 5:15 p.m. Thursday, to discuss an election for Aug. 2.
The city charter allows citizens to petition for a referendum election on any ordinance within 30 days of passage, with a requirement of signatures from registered Clovis voters exceeding 20 percent of the turnout from the previous municipal election.
The High Plains Patriots turned in 767 signatures on Monday, the first business day following the 30-day mark on Saturday.
Of that number, City Clerk LeighAnn Melancon said 582 signatures were verified from registered Clovis voters, surpassing the required total of 456 signatures.
The affordable housing plan is an amendment to the state's anti-donation clause, which otherwise says a city cannot, "directly or indirectly lend or pledge its credit or make any donation to or in aid of any person, association or public or private corporation." Cities, including Clovis, have created a similar amendment for economic development ventures.
The plan passed in a 6-1 vote. Randy Crowder, who was the lone dissenting vote, cited troubles with taxpayer dollars going to private industries that would build affordable housing.

What would cause an app to take a grainy picture when the camera works fine otherwise?
This is probably not the right place to post this as it's too specific (and the problem is not likely specific to the phone), but what would cause an app to take a poor quality grainy picture on my Incredible 2? It's a mobile banking app, I am using the mobile check deposit portion. The camera has no problem with normal pictures, and other mobile deposit apps work fine. The bank is going to report this to the company that developed the app for them but if I could get some ideas it would be helpful. It is NOT turning on the flash when needed, although when I tried another bank's app it did turn on the flash. However, the problem exists even in well lit areas where the flash is not needed. I tried resetting the camera settings, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app but nothing changes. I did have some crashes in this app but I assume that having uninstalled it and reinstalled it, any settings would have been wiped out.
Re: What would cause an app to take a grainy picture when the camera works fine otherwise?
the app could conceivably be designed to take low res images (to meet the lowest possible standards)

Re: What would cause an app to take a grainy picture when the camera works fine otherwise?
I tried setting the resolution to 3m but there was no change. Clearly the app controls how the phone operates since with the Chase app, the flash goes off when needed and it does not with this one. I was going to post on the xda-developers site, but I could not find an obvious place and it seems like they do not want newbies posting there. While I have a technical background, I know next to nothing about programming Android apps. Is there a better place here that is not phone specific?
Re: What would cause an app to take a grainy picture when the camera works fine otherwise?
I do not know if this will work, but try this. Download something like HDR camera from the market, disable the stock camera, then try and take a picture with the app. If it is still messed up, then it is the app. if it is fine, then it is the camera.
I could also suggest to you that you clear the cache and data from the app. maybe try an uninstall and reinstall. clear the data and cache from the camera.
I wouldnt know really where to post that at all except maybe you could find a forum for that particular app (longshot) or in the Inc2 Q&A forum on XDA. that would be your best bet, but it is still pretty long. Yes, they tend to be a bit abrasive over there just blow that stuff off and stay focused on an answer.
It is one of the things that makes AC great, we answer what we can without attitude or snobbery...

Re: What would cause an app to take a grainy picture when the camera works fine otherwise?
So thanks for the suggestion to use HDR. I tried that, and the bank app did not seem to like it, but it did look better before it hung/crashed. Anyway, I spoke to the guy at the bank who deals with mobile banking issues (he was out when I first had the problem). He suggested that I try touching the screen before taking the photo of the check to force it to focus. Apparently they were not doing this in the app . I tried that, and it seems to make it better, to the point or being readable. But it appears that they're shooting the photo in grayscale, so it still doesn't come out nearly as good as something like Chase, which shoots in color (and also utilizes the flash, if necessary). Hopefully he will get the developers to fix this bug and my problem will be resolved.
Re: What would cause an app to take a grainy picture when the camera works fine otherwise?
Sometimes it is the little things...
I didnt even think of autofocus, I just assumed that the app supported it. glad it is a bit better

Akio Matsumura, speaking at "The Medical and Ecological Consequences of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident", March 13, 2013 (h/t @chrisjcote):
[...] I have worked at the United Nations and other international organizations in London and New York for 40 years [...]
There are four major areas of concern that could cause a bigger disaster:
- In reactors 1, 2 and 3, complete core meltdowns have occurred. Japanese authorities have admitted the possibility that the fuel may have melted through the bottom of the reactor core vessels. It is speculated that this might lead to unintended criticality (resumption of the chain reaction) or a powerful steam explosion – either event could lead to major new releases of radioactivity into the environment. [...]
Audio excerpt of Matsumura's speech, provided by Radio Ecoshock with host Alex Smith:
At 2:30 in
The invisible matter is we do not know what's happening now underground of the nuclear reactors. When I talk to members of parliament of Europe, my friends, they were under the impression that already Fukushima's solved. And when I talk to your leaders as well, they're surprised to hear what I'm saying. […]
You cannot see the inside issue [at the reactors], so nobody knows. That's why people try to pay attention to policy issue. They forgot a potential accident remains now. You're talking a policy matter 30-40 years, you have time. But Fukushima doesn't have time. That's what I told to all party leaders and I said to one of the cabinets, "My answer is to improve this issue is maybe we might depend on the military."

Hello Lesarinn
Welcome to Math Help Forum!
- (i) The ball taken from bowl A is red; and then the ball taken from bowl B is red.
- (ii) The ball taken from bowl A is not red; and then the ball taken from bowl B is red.
Work out the probabilities and that the ball taken from A is (i) red, and (ii) not red. Then, by considering the number of red balls in bowl B in each case (i) and (ii), work out the probabilities and that the second ball is red.
Finally, multiply by ; multiply by ; then add your answers to get the final answer. I reckon this comes out as .
Work out all the ways in which the total could be 5; then work out the probability that each of these sequences of numbers occurs. Finally add all your answers together to get the overall probability.Problem 2:
Given are:
We pick one number randomly from S1, where there is an equal chance of picking any one number. We do the same with S2 and S3.
What are the odds that the sum of the numbers we picked are equal to 5?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
I'll start you off. We could have:
- 1,1,3. The probability of this is .
- 1,2,2. The probability of this is exactly the same:

United States 6 Scotland 24
Team-mates and coaches paid tribute to Geoff Cross, the Scotland prop, who helped to lay the platform for their success despite the death of his father the day before the game.
The team wore black armbands in tribute, while Cross put in an impressive stint at the coalface, including playing a leading role in winning his side a penalty try, before eventually being forced off with a rib injury.
"It was spot on from Geoff," said Stuart Hogg, the full back. "He's had a really tough week and I thought he had a fine match — full credit to him. Geoff's

Nelda Swiggett
Pianist Nelda Swiggett is an active performer and composer on the Seattle music scene. Whether swinging hard with her jazz trio, grooving to salsa and Afro-Cuban rhythms at the Latin club, or laying down soulful gospel riffs at her local church, you can count on Nelda's strong musicality and creative rhythmic sense.
Nelda entered the University of Washington as a classical piano performance major and a serious downhill ski racer -- an unlikely combination that ended abruptly with a major ski accident and two months of traction in a hospital bed at Harborview. Piano was out of the question, but a guitar and flute helped wile away the hours. One day, an internist on his rounds picked up her flute and began to improvise. He brought in recordings of jazz rhythm sections that he could play along with, and her hospital room became a jazz venue for passing doctors, nurses and patients. Soon Nelda was learning to improvise herself.Read more

Gleacher's chairman Eric Gleacher resigns
Eric Gleacher, the 1980s Wall Street rainmaker, has resigned as chairman of his advisory boutique, Gleacher & Co, and will leave the firm as it continues to explore strategic options, including a possible merger with another company.
One of the biggest dealmakers among an earlier generation of bankers, Gleacher had a hand in building the merger advisory practices at Lehman Brothers and Morgan Stanley before breaking out on his own in 1990 at Gleacher Partners, a predecessor firm to the current Gleacher & Co.
Gleacher's past clients included Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts in its 1989 takeover of RJR Nabisco and Ronald Perelman in his 1985 hostile takeover of Revlon.
According to Ron Chernow's book "The House of Morgan, An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance," Gleacher was called a "steel wall" at the bargaining table and "skied, golfed and ran marathons in his spare time."
He will continue to consult for Gleacher & Co. in connection with a pending transaction: the sale of Archstone to Equity Residential and AvalonBay Communities for $6.5bn. He will be paid $2.5m to $3.5m for the completion of the deal, according to a regulatory filing.
His departure comes five months after Gleacher & Co hired Credit Suisse to help explore its strategic options and a year into a restructuring effort that focussed the firm on its fixed income operations and advisory services for middle market companies.
Gleacher, 72 years old, hasn't been involved in the day to day operations of the firm for a while, and said he has been eager to move on to new projects. This month, his seven-bedroom Upper East Side Manhattan townhouse was listed for sale at nearly $30m.
In an interview on yesterday, he said the timing of his departure was unrelated to the strategic review of the firm, which is continuing. He plans to strike out on his own again, providing advisory services in a freelance capacity so he has more control over his time.
The timing is more related to the completion of the Archstone sale, he said, which could close in the next few weeks. "When your name is on the door, the pressure never goes away," he said. Going out on his own means "much more control over allocating my time."
Wall Street has changed, he added, and corporations are more apt to seek independent advice than hire a big, diversified financial firm. "I'm pretty confident I can do as much work as I want to do independently."
He continues to hold a 12% stake in Gleacher & Co., its second biggest shareholder behind the private equity firm MatlinPatterson Global Advisors, which holds about 28%.
Boutique investment banks were poised to grab market share away from bulge bracket competitors in the aftermath of the financial crisis but a prolonged slump in dealmaking pressured financial results. Analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters expect Gleacher to post a loss of 12 cents a share for 2012, on a 21% decline in revenue, to $206m, for the year. Gleacher has yet to announce the date of its earnings release.
Thomas Hughes, who was brought in nearly two years ago as chief executive officer, has cut divisions and overhauled staff, and continues to hire senior bankers and traders. In November the firm said it would sell its ClearPoint Funding mortgage lending division.
Shares fell 1.3%, to 75 cents, and are down 56% in the past 12 months. In December, the firm outlined plans to effect a reverse split that would bring it back into compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements that shares trade at a minimum of $1. The company said it would ask shareholders to vote on a reverse split at the annual meeting in May.
The company "will continue to grow our M&A and capital raising capabilities in line with the vision we have described previously, a vision that Eric helped author," Hughes said in a statement about Gleacher's departure.
Gleacher didn't name a new chairman.

By Mickey Winfield: Freedom New Mexico
The Eastern New Mexico University Board of Regents named new officers at its regular meeting Friday morning.
Outgoing board President Jay Gurley officially handed the gavel to his successor, Alva Carter.
Gurley spoke about the productive relationship he has had with the university and specifically with ENMU president Steven Gamble.
"I'm honored to have served," Gurley said. "I think there's been a lot accomplished — not because of my actions, but because of Dr. Gamble's leadership."
Gurley said he was proud of the many improvements on campus in the last several years.
"(We've) probably had more building going on than has occurred in the last 20 years on campus," Gurley said. "It was good to be a part of that and have the opportunity to make some improvements of projects as well as policies that advance the institution."
Gurley also said he was proud of the recent enrollment numbers at ENMU and said he believes Carter will use his many years in the Portales area to benefit the ENMU Board of Regents.
"Regent Carter is a life-long resident of eastern New Mexico," Gurley said. "He's lived in Portales for the last 40-plus years. He has a very keen interest in not only the university but also the community. As a result of that, I think he'll do an excellent job. He'll give the institution his continued support. He's done it financially, he's done it with his free time. We think he'll be an excellent addition."
"It's a great honor, but it's going to be very difficult to follow Dr. Gurley's expertise," Carter said. "With the help of the board of regents, I hope I will be an asset to the community."
Carter also made it clear what direction he believes the university is headed in the next several years.
"Our president wants to offer an education to our students at a very low cost but very high quality," Carter said. "If you look at the other colleges, I think we rank near the top."
Former board secretary-treasurer Pauline Ponce was elected to take Carter's former position of board vice president and student regent Charles Britton will serve as the board's new secretary-treasurer.

True. The function xy has no "psychotic" behavior, so we can switch the order of integration.
False. This would be true if the limits of integration matched on both sides of the equation since the limits of integration have nothing to do with x or y. So we can separate the integrals. But the 1-3 integration limits belong to the x integration, not the y integration.
True. This is an application of the last one. We separate the integrals, then note that the variable of integration of y integral is a "dummy" variable. It goes like this:
<-- Replacing the dummy variable y with an x.
I'm going to go with "False" for this one. Again, it's going to depend on how "pathological" the function is in the integration interval. Consider, for example, the function . I did it easily doing it dy dx, but even my calculator flatly refused to do the dx dy version. I'm assuming they would come out to be different.

Our Oxygen Powered Bleach is an excellent product to be used by itself or as an additive with our powdered or liquid detergent to bleach laundry. It has excellent cleaning characteristics as well as whitening and brightening qualities that make it every bit the equal to major brands on the market like Clorox 2 or Oxi-Clean but a better value in cost per use! We also package our Oxygen Powered Bleach in a 40 oz. stand-up pouch that is recloseable with a zip closure to keep moisture out between uses.
Using our Oxygen Bleach with our Powdered Detergent gives you "super-whitening" power because both products have the oxygen-creating ingredient Sodium Percarbonate. Naturally, the Oxygen Powered Bleach has several times the amount of Percarbonate so that it can be used on it's own to simply whiten and brighten any garment. Adding our laundry bleach to the detergent gives you great cleaning and whitening without the personal environmental price you might pay using a chlorine bleach.
Over the long run chlorine bleach can significantly wear down fabrics and is generally not acceptable for septic tank use. Chlorine bleach can also create toxic gases when combined with certain other cleaners... be sure to double check compatibility before using chlorine bleach with any other product.
Package sizes available: 40 oz, 800 oz.

During the 15th week of pregnancy, your baby measures about 4 -4 1/2 inches in length and weighs just over 2 ounces. Your baby's growth is pretty rapid and your baby's skin is very thin- as a result the blood vessels can be seen.
Lanugo- the fine hair covers your baby's body during this stage. The bones are getting harder and ossifying rapidly. Your baby now has taste buds and also may get the hiccups now and then.
You might experience your ligaments stretching in your abdomen. As the uterus expands, the elastic tissue or the ligaments that support it stretch to house its growth. The process may cause twinges, cramps or at times pulling sensations on one or both sides of your lower abdomen.
At this point, some women start experiencing certain unexpected side effects well into their pregnancy. For instance, excessive salivation is fairly common during pregnancy. This should not be a cause of worry, though it can be a bit problematic at times.
A bloated abdomen is observed by 15 weeks. Many women gain anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds by now, and their uterus starts rising past their hipbones. Your doctor or healthcare provider will be able to feel your uterus about 3 inches or so below the belly button.
In the following weeks of your pregnancy, your healthcare provider will begin to take measurements of your uterus, which is referred to as the "fundal height". This measurement helps in confirming your due date, as it correlates with the number of weeks you are pregnant. The fundal height is defined as the distance between the top of your uterus and your pubic bone.
Your Baby's Development
Your baby is now measuring 4 inches in length and weighs more than 2.4 ounces!
Parents are often surprised by the softness of their newborn's skin. Your babys skin is continuously developing, and its so thin and translucent that you can actually see the blood vessels through it.
In the 15th week, your baby starts producing lanugo. This is nothing but the fine hair that covers your baby's body up until a few weeks before birth. Lanugo covers every part of your baby in uterus, except for the lips, penis, nails, palms, soles of the feet, and inner fingers and toes.
Characteristically babies will shed this hair by 8th month of pregnancy, but it may remain in some newborns for a short period of time. Pre-term babies are usually expected to be born with lanugo than full term babies.
Hair growth also continues on the eyebrows as well as the head. Your baby's ears are more or less in position now, though they are still placed a bit low on the head.
Your baby continues to grow rapidly as you continue your pregnancy week by week. If you peek inside your uterus during this pregnancy week 15 you would still be able to observe your baby's blood vessels through its paper-thin skin. Actually, the blood vessels that are forming in your baby's body make him or her appear pretty much like a map!
The bones in your baby's body also begin to get harder during pregnancy at 15 weeks and continue to do so throughout your pregnancy. Your baby, in the mean while, is spending most of his time practicing breathing, by inhaling and exhaling the amniotic fluid. The very act of doing so helps your baby's air sacs develop during pregnancy. Your baby continues forming taste buds at this particular point.
Internally, the baby's skeletal system continues to develop. The development if muscles also continues, and your baby is in all probability making lots of movements with his or her head, arms, wrists, hands, mouth, legs, and feet.

You sound like a very busy lady! I love blueberries, I bought 60 lbs of wild Maine blueberries this summer! They are all in the freezer! I have the best blueberry pie recipe! I also enjoy making pies, I make them all year round, we have a "Pie Day" the day before our Thanksgiving in November, it's so much fun to get generations of family together for this event at my aunt's home. If you'd like to "visit" me in New England I love company and new Followers are always so exciting! I enjoyed my visit today!

In what amounts to a fairy-tale version of The Avengers, DreamWorks new film Rise of the Guardians assembles The Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), Santa Claus (Alec Baldwin), The Sandman, and The Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman) to fight against the Boogeyman, Pitch (Jude Law). There's no word if The Skrulls are involved, though Star Trek's Chris Pine is also in the cast. Check out the trailer below…
Though this preview doesn't show it, Pine plays Jack Frost, who – at least to start – is the least well known of the bunch and is invisible to humans because of it. From the footage presentation that DreamWorks recently had, it sounds like the character goes on some sort of hero's journey to discover himself and his full powers. He's also the new team member to the fantasy squad, which makes me think that the filmmakers took to heart that Red Letter Media review of The Phantom Menace.
The film is due out November 21, and this sells a very serious tone. It also cuts through a lot of the film's set up to to deliver a strong narrative (and – to be fair – the easiest way to do that is not talk about Pine's newcomer character). What's striking about the trailer is that there's no real comedy in it. DreamWorks has made a lot of silly animated movies, and though the footage showed had jokes, they're playing this pretty straight here, perhaps to hook older comic-book fans.
Are you sold?

For the first part I got
Hi All,
I have a question that I need to do a bit of catching-up work before I can answer it. I'd like to be able to have a go at it myself before anybody puts an answer up but then check an answer for it later in the week. So if anybody can provide me with an answer to the following that would be great. Thanks.
Q. Evaluate
and using integration by parts, for N=1,2.
Sketch the function defined by
, ;
and find the corresponding Fourier Series.
By considering at and deduce that
My guess is that you should look more carefully at those terms and in your formulas for a_n and b_n. There is nothing in the integration-by-parts formulas that you gave earlier to suggest that there should be any products of trig functions in these formulas.
Letting with , I get:
The plot below is the first 20 terms in the interval . Red is the function , Gray is the Fourier series for this function. I'm not real familiar with Fourier Series so not sure about this. Also, as Opalg stated above, at the points of discontinuities, the Fourier series converges to the average of the end points. The plot however, only shows a sharp vertical line due to plotting limitations. If I drew only a set of points for the plot, a single point would be between the upper and lower limits at the points of discontinuities.
Gibbs phenomenon, with the Fourier series overshooting on either side of the discontinuity.
Ahhhhh, of course! I am so embarrassed that I missed thatbut you should know that and . That simplifies the first formula to .
Thank-you both for the replies, but shawsend maybe its because Im tired but isnt ? I am almost certain of it but since you've posted it here I am paranoid I've left something out.
Thank you all for your help but I have one last question.
So finally,
so my Fourier Series is
which I know is correct because I was able to prove that at x=0,
(since the series converges at a )
but can someone show me how to prove that at x= 1/2,
I dont know what it is that Im doing wrong but I keep getting the wrong answer
Code:f[x_] := 2*x - x^2; h[x_] := 2/3 - (1/Pi^2)* Sum[Cos[2*Pi*n*x]/n^2, {n, 1, 150}] - (1/Pi)*Sum[Sin[2*Pi*n*x]/n^2, {n, 1, 150}] fplot1 = Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> {Thickness[0.001], Red}] fplot2 = Plot[f[x - 1], {x, 1, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Thickness[0.001], Red}] fplot3 = Plot[f[x - 2], {x, 2, 3}, PlotStyle -> {Thickness[0.001], Red}] p2 = Plot[h[x], {x, 0, 3}] Show[{fplot1, fplot2, fplot3, p2}, PlotRange -> {{0, 3}, {0, 1}}]
Woody, I think you made a typo up there. Should it not be:
and the deal with the constant term is I'm using which is your term. I now believe this expression is correct. The code above with 150 terms is converging nicely to the periodic extension of the function.

Through research, physical oceanography aims to solve the numerous problems stated by thermal, optical and dynamical properties of the oceans. Instrumentation and Metrology in Physical Oceanography describes the means used in oceanography to determine physical properties of the oceans by medium of in situ measurements. This book explores the theoretical functioning of sensors and instruments, as well as different practical aspects of using these tools. The content of this book appeals directly to technicians or engineers wishing to enhance their knowledge of instrumentation and application to environment surveillance.
Instrumentation and Metrology in Physical Oceanography details the functioning of sensors and instruments used to assess the following parameters in oceanography: temperature, conductivity, pressure, sound velocity, current in magnitude and direction, time and position with GPS, height of water and tide, waves, optical and chemical properties (turbidity), dissolved gas (O2, CO2), pH, nutrients and other dissolved elements. Furthermore, this book also elaborates on the different means used to obtain measurements at sea (boats, drifting floats, moorings, undersea platforms, gliders…) and techniques currently being developed.

Rescue crews have resumed their search Monday morning for a missing diver at Kaena Point.
Click here to watch the report.
The call for a missing 56-year-old diver came in around 2:44 p.m. Saturday at Kaena Point. Officials say Nicholas Spotkaeff was diving with his son when they got separated. The Coast Guard says the son lost sight of his father when he was on shore and about 100 yards north of Kaena Point.
Spotkaeff was reported to be wearing green board shorts.
Some of the diver's gear were recovered, such as a floater and a three-pronged spear. The diver and the gear were last spotted about 100 yards off-shore.
Anyone with any information is asked to call 911 or Crimestoppers at 955-8300.

African American History in New Mexico
Portraits from Five Hundred Years
Publication Year: 2013
Although their total numbers in New Mexico were never large, blacks arrived with Spanish explorers and settlers and played active roles in the history of the territory and state. Here, Bruce Glasrud assembles the best information available on the themes, events, and personages of black New Mexico history.
The contributors portray the blacks who accompanied Cabeza de Vaca, Coronado and de Vargas and recount their interactions with Native Americans in colonial New Mexico. Chapters on the territorial period examine black trappers and traders as well as review the issue of slavery in the territory and the blacks who accompanied Confederate troops and fought in the Union army during the Civil War in New Mexico. Eventually blacks worked on farms and ranches, in mines, and on railroads as well as in the military, seeking freedom and opportunity in New Mexico's wide open spaces. A number of black towns were established in rural areas. Lacking political power because they represented such a small percentage of New Mexico's population, blacks relied largely on their own resources and networks, particularly churches and schools.
