PROFNET EXPERT ALERTS: Health Care Reform / East Coast Flooding / Political Rhetoric
1. Disaster Response: East Coast Flooding: Property/Revenue Loss 2. Education: Promoting Financial Education Among Young People 3. Government: Obamacare Kills Dividends 4. Politics: Violent Rhetoric Can Have Dangerous Consequences 5. Taxation: Impact of the New Healthcare Legislation on Taxpayers
1. DISASTER RESPONSE: EAST COAST FLOODING CONTINUES: PROPERTY AND REVENUE LOSS PREVENTABLE, NOT INEVITABLE. LOU GRITZO, Ph.D., is the vice president and manager of research at business property insurer FM GLOBAL, which works with more than one-third of Fortune 1,000 companies to prevent property and revenue loss from weather-related events like floods, based in Johnston, R.I.: "With a second wave of storm-related flooding in less than a month expected, East Coast businesses from Maine to the Carolinas must take preventive measures to keep their operations up and running. Businesses in the rest of the country -- even those not experiencing flooding -- will also be affected. In addition to 10 inches of rain that fell two weeks ago, as much as eight more inches of rain are expected in the next few days in parts of the Northeast -- with the power to put companies out of business." Gritzo is available to provide tips on how companies at risk can best protect their facilities and property from severe flood damage, and can address the following questions: 1) What are the essential three steps businesses must follow now to prepare for a flood? 2) How are businesses located elsewhere affected by flooding in the Northeast? The answers may surprise you. 3) How do companies maintain business continuity and revenue in the wake of floods?

2. EDUCATION: PROMOTING FINANCIAL EDUCATION AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE. SCOTT GAMM is the founder of HELPSAVEMYDOLLARS.COM, a Web site that aims to educate teens, college students and adults about personal finance, and is an expert on financial literacy: "April 2010 is National Financial Literacy month, a time devoted to promoting financial education among young people. Personal finance is a course that is absent from the curriculum of most schools, since only 18 states require personal finance education in schools. If students are not informed about money-related issues, they're more likely to make financial mistakes in the future." Gamm has appeared on major national network television programs, in newspapers and on some of the Internet's top personal finance Web sites. He is located in New York City. (3/31/10)
3. GOVERNMENT: OBAMACARE KILLS DIVIDENDS. RICHARD TAYLOR, principal with HLB GROSS COLLINS, PC, in Atlanta: "For the past seven years, dividends have enjoyed a federal tax rate of 15 percent. This is all about to change under the new health care bill. Overall, this could represent a 289 percent tax increase on dividends. Guess who pays for the new health care system? What impact will this have on dividend-paying stocks? Would investors shy away from dividend-paying companies and invest in those that pay no dividends? This could drive down the value of some of the best companies in the country." Taylor recently wrote an article on the topic, which can be accessed here: http://tinyurl.com/yfx8vzu News Contact: Lane Bassham, email@example.com Phone: +1-770-433-1711 (3/31/10)
4. POLITICS: VIOLENT RHETORIC CAN HAVE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES. DAVID OLSON, assistant professor of communication studies at SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY (Georgetown, Texas): "In a classic communications text titled 'Metaphors We Live By,' author George Lakoff convincingly demonstrates how metaphors shape our thinking and, ultimately, our actions. The metaphors that many people often use to describe disagreement are usually metaphors of war. When politicians and radio talk show hosts use such terms, it sets the stage for people to think about political disagreement as war. If you mix those messages with people who feel threatened by the new political landscape and feel that armed resistance is something that is legitimate, you are lighting a fuse on a literally explosive group of people. When House minority leader John Boehner calls fellow representative Steve Driehaus 'a dead man' for voting for the health insurance bill and Driehaus consequently receives death threats, I think we can see a connection."

5. TAXATION: IMPACT OF THE NEW HEALTHCARE LEGISLATION ON TAXPAYERS. HENRY PAULA, a tax principal at REZNICK GROUP in Charlotte, N.C., is monitoring the impact of the new healthcare legislation on taxpayers, especially affluent taxpayers who report more than $200,000 in income: "Beginning in 2013, high- income taxpayers will see their Medicare taxes increase from 1.45 percent to 2.35 percent. In order to mitigate the impact of these changes, taxpayers should consider taking less in wages in return for more distributions of each year's taxable income. Other considerations for minimizing the impact of increases in Medicare taxes to those in high-income brackets include ensuring the maximum is contributed on a pre-tax basis to 401(k) and other qualified plans from annual wages and paying bonuses prior to 2013 (vs. after 2012) to withhold as much as feasible and reduce the portion subject to the increased Medicare tax." Paula is fluent in Spanish and French. News Contact: Michael Henry, email@example.com Phone: 1-704-926-1364 (3/31/10)

Injection drug users (IDUs) constitute 60% of the approximately 5 million people in the United States infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the majority of drug users in opioid agonist treatment programs have HCV. Even though there are effective HCV treatments, alarmingly few drug users and opioid agonist maintained patients have initiated HCV treatment. Because HCV has a discrete course of treatment lasting only 24 to 48 weeks and its backbone is once-weekly subcutaneous pegylated interferon injections, it may be ideally suited for directly observed treatment (DOT) management. To test this, we have designed a small randomized controlled trial of modified DOT (mDOT) for HCV treatment (both pegylated interferon and ribavirin) in drug users enrolled in opioid agonist treatment. The goal of this mentored award is to enhance the clinical research skills of Alain Litwin, M.D., M.P.H., M.S., through research on integrating HCV treatment with substance abuse treatment. Dr. Litwin's training plan involves formal mentorship in the following areas: implementing comprehensive DOT programs in opiate agonist programs, measuring and analyzing adherence in drug users, designing behavioral interventions for drug users, clinical trial study design, advanced statistical methods, and community-based participatory research.
The specific aims of this proposal are: (1) To determine in randomized trial whether modified directly observed HCV treatment (pegylated interferon alfa-2a plus ribavirin) provided on-site at a methadone program is more efficacious than self-administered HCV treatment for enhancing adherence;(2) To determine the impact of providing on-site HCV treatment on virologic outcomes, and to determine the association between HCV treatment adherence and virologic outcomes. As a sub-aim, we will also determine whether mDOT is more efficacious than self-administered HCV treatment for achieving HCV treatment outcomes;and (3) To identify individual-level factors (e.g. active drug and alcohol use, active psychiatric illness, housing status, social support, beliefs and knowledge about HCV medications, motivation to adhere, self-efficacy, and medication side effects) influencing HCV treatment adherence and HCV treatment outcomes. Findings from this project will be used to inform the development of a large randomized trial of the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of modified directly observed HCV care versus regular on-site care.

Check out these mean streets in Stuart Woods's highfalutin procedural NEW YORK DEAD (HarperCollins, $20): Park Avenue, the Upper East Side, Turtle Bay, Gramercy Park and trendy eateries all over town. Some cops might flinch at having to plow this crime turf, but not Detective Stone Barrington. The inherent class and impeccable social connections of this paragon make him just the dude to investigate the apparent suicide of Sasha Nijinsky, a top television anchor ("bigger than Barbara Walters") who takes a dive from her terrace just as Stone is strolling by on his way home from Elaine's.
Mr. Woods works up plenty of flashy material for his slick and mostly silly plot, which bares its sensationalistic soul when the ambulance carrying the victim is hit by a fire engine and the corpse disappears. To prove his theory that the hardy Sasha survived her 12-story fall and is hiding out from a killer, Stone must endure contact with such rough customers as a writer for Vanity Fair, an editor at The New York Times, a society mortician, a celebrity psychic and a gorgeous network executive who becomes the detective's lover and wardrobe consultant.
It's a tough beat, all right, but Mr. Woods drops enough restaurant names to convince us that he really wants the job.
Prophesy County, Oklahoma, is the kind of place where the deputy sheriff can halt an armed robbery by yelling: "Stop it now! Y'all just stop!" The kind of place where you pop the question to your ladylove at the rodeo. The kind of place, of which there are dang few left, where folks still say "Hidy."
Chief Deputy Milt Kovak, who has kept the peace in Prophesy County for three books by Susan Rogers Cooper, returns in CHASING AWAY THE DEVIL (Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's, $16.95) to find that his kindness is not reciprocated. Someone has murdered his beloved companion, Glenda Sue, and is making racist threats against her half-black granddaughter. Milt unofficially adopts the little girl, but the Devil is out of his hole: the child is kidnapped, and Milt doubts that he can ever feel the same about his hometown.
Ms. Cooper's laconic hero could always be depended upon to provide the ironic edge that keeps Prophesy County's sins in perspective and its boosterism in check. But Milt's prolonged depression over Glenda Sue, along with his sentimental fixation on his ever-expanding family, injects a maudlin tone into this warm series and diminishes the hero. It would be a real shame if Milt lost touch with his larger role as the authentic voice of a region and its people.
"I don't feel comfortable in Southborough," complains Mitch Stevens, a New York journalist who comes to this Vermont hamlet, in Nat Brandt and Yanna Brandt's LAND KILLS (Foul Play/ Countryman, $18.95), when a sick friend asks him to take over his job as editor of the town newspaper. Mitch likes the rural area well enough to look for land on which to build a house, but his discovery of a corpse on one nice piece of property makes him understandably leery about settling down there. Other coincidental deaths add to his discomfort, and so does a land-development plan to lumber the tiny town with a giant ski resort and a sprawling shopping outlet. Since the dimwitted locals seem inclined to swallow the real estate developers' snake-oil pitch about turning Southborough into "a boom town," this leaves Mitch alone to wonder: "Was growth always good? Is big better?"
The villains responsible for Southborough's woes are so obvious you can spot them clear from New Hampshire. And while their land-hogging methods are clever, they don't warrant such dumbfounded amazement from the suckers who fell for them. ("My God," exclaims one dupe. "The audacity!") But if subtlety is not the Brandts' strong suit, the authors do much better with their unaffected vignettes of Dollar Day on Main Street, a raucous meeting at Town Hall, deadline day at The Southborough Courier and other beguiling scenes of Southborough going about its business. Nice town.
At the end of SMASH CUT: (Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's, $18.95), whose title bears an inexplicable colon, Steven Womack treats us to a scene in which the Governor of Louisiana replies with "a raucous politician's belly laugh" to a query about his role in a nasty piece of civic corruption. "I'm the governor," this flamboyant character explains to the rubes, "not some Desire Project crack dealer. You don't bump people off in politics, you either ruin them or you buy them."
As he did in "Murphy's Fault," Mr. Womack goes to town on such charismatic knaves, reveling in their blatant political cynicism and the glee they take in their own deviltry. Unfortunately, the Governor plays a small role in the author's second New Orleans crime novel. So does his brassy daughter, who is killed off in an early chapter after waging an environmental protest against an Asian film producer's plan to turn a derelict nuclear power plant into a studio for his claptrap movies. That leaves the field to the interloping film makers, who seem too innocent to play at Louisiana politics. This local art demands players "as crooked as a water moccasin wrapped around a swamp stump," and maybe next time Mr. Womack will dredge the swamps for more robust members of the species.
Just follow Susan B. Kelly's directions in HOPE AGAINST HOPE (Scribners, $19.95) and you'll find yourself in the West Country village of Hopbridge, the perfect setting for a cozy little English murder. Picturesquely nestled by the sea, Hopbridge overlooks the Hop River, which runs through the Hop Valley, past the neighboring villages of Little Hopford and West Hopbridge. If this all sounds a bit inbred, that is, after all, the point of a country mystery.
"What could be nicer than to settle in a quiet place like this and become a pillar of the local community?" one resident asks of Alison Hope, who takes the advice and relocates her London computer business to Hop country. All is serene until the cottage-warming party, at which Alison's cousin and former partner is murdered. To the chagrin of Inspector Nick Trevellyan, who has fallen hard for the independent heroine, Alison appears to be the prime suspect.
Ms. Kelly makes smooth work of all the conventions in her first mystery, which presents a neat puzzle and characters resourceful enough to commit murder. It is only when writing about Nick and Alison's romance that the author lapses into stylistic inanity. The long-legged, redheaded Alison has "the look of a well-groomed racehorse," while the "inscrutable" Nick is likened to "an iceberg: seven-eighths hidden below water" in Ms. Kelly's phrase book, which contains many more banalities of this sort and needs chucking in the Hop.

This application is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 840,051, filed Mar. 17, 1986, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a process for the production of a photopolymerizable recording material, in particular a dry photoresist material comprised of a layer support and a solid, dry photopolymerizable layer which contains, as the essential constituents,
(a) a polymeric binder which is insoluble in water and soluble in aqueous-alkaline solutions,
(b) an acrylic or methacrylic acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol, which is polymerizable by a free-radical process, and
(c) an initiator capable of photo-inducing the free-radical polymerization.
The free surface of the photopolymerizable layer is preferably covered with a thin polyethylene film.
Materials of the above-mentioned type are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,469,982, and are extensively used in the production of printed circuits and in similar applications.
The photoresist layers of these materials must be adapted for dry transferring to another support material, for example, a copper plate, with the application of pressure and usually also with heating. Therefore, the photoresist layer must be at least thermoplastically deformable, preferably even plastically deformable at ambient temperature, and it should have a particular tackiness. Materials showing these processing characteristics to an optimum degree present certain problems during storage and transport in the unexposed state, since their photoresist layers invariably tend to undergo some cold flow which becomes apparent when the material is stored in the form of a roll. The photoresist layer then emerges between the film layers at the end faces of the roll and causes the wound-up layers. to stick together. In an attempt to solve this problem, the composition of the photoresist layer, in particular the nature of the thermoplastic binder, has been modified to raise the flow temperature of the layer. This way of proceeding, which is described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschrift No. 23 63 806, is limited by the fact that the brittleness of the photo-crosslinked layer increases with a rising flow temperature of the unexposed layer, such that processing of the exposed material is rendered difficult.
Another solution to the problem is described in German Patent No. 23 45 120. According to this publication, the edges of the photoresist layer are light-hardened, so that the layer can no longer be squeezed out. This method has the disadvantage that, during processing of the respective material, light-sensitive substance is lost in the edge zones, since a particular safe distance must be allotted to ensure that any partly polymerized portions of the layer are excluded from the subsequent exposure and developing.
To overcome this problem, it is proposed in German Patent Application No. P 34 37 453.1 to cover the end faces of the dry resist rolls by means of glued-on covering disks, in order to prevent any photopolymerizable layer portions from being squeezed out during storage.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a process for the production of a photopolymerizable material of the type described at the outset, which provides for an effective prevention of cold flow.
It is a particular object of the invention to provide such a process which avoids the need to substantially change the composition of the layer constituents.
Still another object of the invention is to provide such a process in which it is unnecessary to perform an additional pre-exposure step.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an improved photopolymerizable material which is resistant to cold flow upon storage.
In accomplishing these objects, there is provided, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a process for the production of a photopolymerizable recording material comprising the steps of providing a layer support; coating the layer support with a solid, dry photopolymerizable layer which contains, as the essential constituents,
(a) a polymeric binder which is insoluble in water and soluble in aqueous-alkaline solutions,
(b) an acrylic or methacrylic acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol, which is polymerizable by a free-radical process, and
(c) an initiator capable of photo-inducing the free-radical polymerization; and
treating the photopolymerizable layer with an amount of ammonia or an oxidizing agent sufficient to reduce the cold flow of the solid, dry photopolymerizable layer.
There has also been provided in accordance with another aspect of the present invention an improved photopolymerizable recording material which is resistant to cold flow and which is produced by the above-described process.
Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description of preferred embodiments which follows.
In one embodiment, the treatment with ammonia or an oxidizing agent can be effected by adding a solution of, e.g., ammonia, in water or in an organic solvent, to the coating solution and mixing the two solutions homogeneously. The amount of added ammonia should advantageously be selected such that it corresponds to about 10% to 100%, preferably about 15% to 60%, of the stoichiometric amount required to neutralize the acid groups, predominantly the carboxyl groups of the binder, which are contained in the photopolymerizable mixture. The reaction manifests itself in a strongly increased viscosity of the coating solution.
It is also possible according to another embodiment to perform the treatment with ammonia or oxidizing agent by applying it only to the edges of the resist film, and this is done preferably after the coating and winding up of the finished dry resist film. In this case, the end faces of the roll are simply wetted with a solution of ammonia or oxidizing agent, for example, by wiping with a sponge or cloth soaked with the solution and subsequent drying. Only the edge zones of the photopolymerizable layer are reacted in this process. In contrast to the known light-hardening methods, this treatment does not affect the photosensitivity and developability of these edge zones. Only the flow properties of the zones are considerably impaired. The treatment with ammonia even brings about a certain increase in photosensitivity and improved image differentiation when the photoresists are processed according to known methods.
If an oxidizing agent is used for the treatment, both of the above-described procedures can in principle be employed, with quite a number of oxidizing agents. However, some oxidizing agents tend to cause an irreversible, undesired impairment of the properties and behavior of the photopolymerizable layer. Therefore, the treatment with oxidizing agents preferably is restricted to a treatment of the end faces of the roll. The oxidizing agent is also applied in the form of an aqueous or organic solution, with preference being given to an aqueous solution. Examples of suitable oxidizing agents are potassium permanganate, sodium peroxide, hydrogen peroxide and ammonium bichromate. The optimum concentration and amount of the solution employed in each case can be determined by simple tests. If desired, the wetting of the end faces of the roll with the solution can be followed by a short heat treatment, for example, with infrared radiation, in order to accelerate the drying process and to enhance the diffusion and action of the oxidizing agent. If it is desired to treat the entire photopolymerizable layer with an oxidizing agent, it is a routine matter to determine by simple tests whether any particular oxidizing agent is suitable or whether it adversely impairs the properties and behavior of the photopolymerizable layer.
The dry resist materials, which are treated by the process according to this invention, are known in the art and are described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschriften No. 20 64 079, No. 23 63 806, No. 21 23 702, No. 28 22 190 and No. 31 34 123. These materials generally comprise a dimensionally stable support film, a photopolymerizable layer and a covering film. The support film is, for example, a polyester film and preferably has a thickness in the range from about 15 to 30 /μm, and the covering film has a thickness from about 5 to 25 /μm. The principal constituents of the photopolymerizable layer comprise a thermoplastic polymeric binder, polymerizable compounds, which are preferably acrylic or methacrylic acid esters of polyhydric aliphatic hydroxyl compounds, and a photopolymerization initiator. Other customary constituents may comprise polymerization inhibitors, dyes, pigments, plasticizers and crosslinking agents. The thickness of the layer is generally in the range between about 10 and 70 /μm, preferably between about 15 and 40 /μm. The disclosures of these publications and the above-cited background documents are hereby incorporated by reference.
In the following examples, preferred embodiments of the invention are described. Parts by weight (p.b.w.) and parts by volume (p.b.v.) are related as g to cm3. Unless otherwise indicated, percentages and quantitative ratios relate to units by weight.
A solution of
9 p.b.w. of a terpolymer of n-hexylmethacrylate, methacrylic acid and styrene (60 : 30 : 10) having a mean molecular weight of about 35,000,
6.4 p.b.w. of a polymerizable oligourethane, obtained by reacting 11 moles of 2,2,4-trimethyl-hexamethylene diisocyanate first with 10 moles of triethylene glycol and then with 2 moles of hydroxyethylmethacrylate, and
3.9 p.b.w. of the ester obtained from 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid and diethylene glycol-mono-2-ethylhexyl ether, in
45 p.b.w. of butanone and
4.5 p.b.w. of water
is mixed, with vigorous stirring, within 30 minutes with
1.4 p.b.v. of a 16% strength aqueous ammonia solution.
This increases the viscosity of the solution from 30 mm2 /s to 70 to 80 mm2 /s.
0.35 p.b.w of 9-phenyl-acridine and
0.035 p.b.w. of a blue azo dye obtained by coupling 2,4-dinitro-6-chloro-benzene-diazonium salt with 2-methoxy-5-acetylamino-N-cyanoethyl-N-hydroxethylaniline
are added and dissolved with stirring. The solution is then spin-coated onto a 25 /μm thick, biaxially oriented and heat-set polyethylene terephthalate film in such a way that a dry layer weight of 28 g/m2 is achieved.
A sample of the dry resist film obtained is placed in a drying oven heated to a temperature of 50� C. and loaded with a weight of 1,000 g. Virtually no deformation of the layer is observed even after 16 hours. Only a slight impression caused by the relief-type number marked at the bottom of the weight is visible in the resist layer.
Another sample of the resist film is laminated in the customary manner, employing a laminating apparatus and applying heat and pressure, onto a cleaned, copper-clad phenol resin laminate board and exposed through a continuous-tone step wedge using conventional exposure equipment. After the exposure, the polyester film is peeled off, and the layer is developed with a 0.8% strength solution of Na2 CO3 in a spray developing device. Five fully crosslinked wedge steps are obtained.
For comparative reasons, a dry resist film is produced from the same constituents, which differs from the above-described film only in that no ammonia solution is added in the preparation of the coating solution. After being loaded with a weight of 1,000 g for 16 hours at a temperature of 50� C., the photoresist layer exhibits strong circular impressions, which have formed along the edge zone of the weight; the type number marked on the weight is completely impressed into the layer down to the support film and is visible as a white pattern in the blue layer.
Another sample of the comparative film is exposed and developed as described above. Four fully crosslinked wedge steps are obtained.
A dry resist film is prepared as described in Example 1, but without treating the coating solution with an ammonia solution. After drying, the photoresist layer is covered, in a continuous process, with a 12 /μm thick polyethylene film by lamination. Two rolls are produced, each of which is 45 cm wide and 200 m long. The end faces of one roll are wiped over with a dabber soaked with 16% strength aqueous ammonia solution, and are then dried. The two rolls are then stored in a drying cabinet at a temperature of 45� C. for 5 days. After this period, the edges of the roll, which was treated in accordance with this invention, are practically unchanged. No layer components have emerged from the end faces. An examination of the end faces of the other, untreated roll shows that in some places considerable amounts of layer substance have emerged and spread across the individual layers of the roll. When the roll is being unwound in the laminating device and also when the covering film is being separated from the photoresist layer, this squeezed-out layer substance gives rise to trouble, such as tearing of the photoresist layer or sticking of the photoresist layer to the covering film.
A roll of dry resist film is prepared as indicated in Example 2. As described in Example 2, the end faces of the roll are then treated with a solution which in this case is a 1% strength solution of potassium permanganate. Storage of the roll in a drying cabinet leads to similar results as in Example 2, i.e., virtually no layer substance emerges from the end faces treated with the oxidizing agent.

For the first time ever, award-winning Nollywood filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan appears to be featuring one of his brothers, Gabriel Afolayan as an actor in his movie.
Kunle Afolayan posted a picture of himself and Gabriel on the set of a new short film, Hannatu which they're currently working on in Auchi.
It looks like Gabriel will be in front on the cameras and Kunle will be behind them.
The filmmaker told Daily Post in 2013 that working with his actor brothers Gabriel and Aremu was going to be unprofessional especially if they were cast in roles not fit for them.
He said, "It would be a wrong casting if I feature my brothers in a movie because I want them to be a part of the production. I know some families in the industry that does that and I have explained it to them before. It is absolutely wrong casting.
"Professionally, it is wrong and I will never do it. If I'm not in a film and I think any of my brothers would fit into the movie, they will do it. Gabriel understands because I have explained to him several times," he added.

NZXT H630 Silent Ultra Tower Chassis Review
After a very stressful week at CES 2013, I came home and saw I had a few new cases in the kitchen from deliveries while I was gone. In that group was the Phantom 630 chassis from NZXT, and I thought it best to move them all to the basement to get them out of my way for that time, and after a good night's sleep I could get back into doing more reviews since my photo booth is down there. I woke the next morning to heavy footsteps rushing up my steps, and when I saw the look on my better half's face, I knew things weren't good. As we slept it rained all night and was still coming down when I woke up. After gaining my bearings, she explained to me that the basement was holding water. The saddest fact of the whole deal is while I did take on quite a bit of water, the Phantom 630 was on the bottom of a stack of cases, and got completely soaked with sewer water.
Writing that email wasn't something I wanted to do, but NZXT was more than understanding as I sent an image along of their chassis, completely soaked. They told me then not to worry about it because they had something down the line that they were going to send me instead of another Phantom chassis. That time has now arrived, and while the interior is very close to what was offered in the Phantom 630, this new chassis has that design, but on steroids. Of course there are some small changes here, but the main concept on the inside is much the same. As for the exterior, things are completely different this time around.
Two major changes are to be found in this new chassis from NZXT when compared to the Phantom 630. The first is the overall size, as this new chassis is enormous, and is classified and an Ultra-Tower. The second, and reasoning as to why it is now an H series offering, is that they have taken measures to limit the noise levels as much as possible.
With all of this fresh in your mind, let's jump right into the specifications and pricing to complete that mental image of what the new H630 from NZXT brings.

Great hotel with wonderful staff, everyone is very welcoming and accommodating. Very family friendly with two great swimming pools, and 5 minutes from the little port of Souvala which has a great little beach, and lots of tavernas. The food at Ella Messa is also very good -authentic Greek cuisine!
Delighted on our stay over there.Very clean, the breakfast good and the neighbourhood very friendly. I would recommend it everyone who need to escape from everyday stressful life.
Our 5 night stay at Ela Mesa was fantastic and it comes highly recommended! The owners Thrassos and Despina are great hosts and really go out of their way to make sure you're accommodated with anything you need. The room was spacious and cleaned daily with a view of the sea and pools below from the balcony. The rooms have free wifi which is always handy. The food was great and you really get a restaurant feel and the seafood is fresh and caught daily. The nearby beach was great and the sea was so blue! Overall this hotel comes highly recommended!
Our room at Ela Mesa was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful and the pool was lovely. However what really set the hotel apart was the friendliness of the owners and staff. Everyone from the cleaners to the couple who run the hotel went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. Nothing was too much trouble. The surrounding area was fairly quiet so we ate in the hotel restaurant each night and the food was also excellent - fresh and tasty, with a varied menu. They even made me a couple of dishes that were not on the menu. Perfect for a relaxing stay and highly recommended.
anyone thinking of staying on the Aegina Island, then The Ela Mesa is the one to choose. Rooms are basic,comfortable and clean. Service, pool area and food absolutely fantastic. Thrasos, the hotel owner will go out of his way to make sure your stay is perfect. He even organised our taxi to and from the airport, and took us in his own car to get the return ferry, and would not take any money. will definitely be returning with family and friends next year.

Vatican newest official court artist Russian Natalia Tsarkova follows the Old Masters
The Vatican's newest official court artist Natalia Tsarkova poses next to a painting of Pope Benedict XVI in her studio by Rome.

By: Dario Thuburn
After Michelangelo and Raphael, the Vatican's latest official painter is something of an unusual choice -- an ebullient Russian woman with a pet owl who is a regular at the court of cardinals and popes.
An Orthodox believer in the heart of Roman Catholicism, Natalia Tsarkova paints her classical-style portraits in a flat filled with Vatican memorabilia by the walls of the Holy See.
"I like the atmosphere here, I feel needed," Tsarkova told AFP in an interview in a studio with several unfinished works and back copies of the Vatican's official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.
It is a dream come true for this graduate of the prestigious Moscow School of Arts, whose paintings including portraits of Pope Benedict XVI and his predecessor John Paul II hang in Vatican palaces, Roman churches and museums around the world.
"When I studied in Moscow, masters like Raphael, Michelangelo, Pietro da Cortona were like God and now I find myself among them," said Tsarkova, a slight blonde woman with an easy laugh who wore a neat tweed dress and black shawl.
Tsarkova arrived in Rome in the early 1990s and began doing portraits of Roman aristocrats, who introduced her at the Vatican where her background captured the attention of late pope John Paul II.
"He spoke Russian with me. He said 'Long live Russian art!'" remembers the now 45-year-old, thumping her fist for emphasis with the same glee as the late pontiff.
John Paul II made great strides in rebuilding relations with the Russian Orthodox Church and Tsarkova said she too feels she can play a role.
"I feel like a small bridge between Orthodoxy and Catholicism. I am like a diplomat with art."
Tsarkova said she often reads religious texts written by her models so as to help understand them and inspire her work, but she also often makes small talk as they sit for hours in front of her.
"They have a very rich world view and they love Russia. We talk about everything, starting with history and ending with my pet owl Rufus," she said.
"It's very important to know how they think, to understand their energy," she said. "When I paint the portrait, that energy goes through my heart, my soul and ends up on the canvas."
-- 'Pope is an unusual person' --
As for the popes she has painted, Tsarkova said she reads papal doctrine as part of her research.
She spent hours studying Benedict in St Peter's Basilica where she was seated near him at masses.
"I did millions of sketches! I was able to immerse myself in the prayer and draw at the same time."
The finished work is of a stern-looking pope seated on his throne with the light of the Holy Spirit behind him and images of angels all around him, including one who is a self-portrait of the artist.
"It's as if he gives life to the angels," she said.
Tsarkova said the pope was a "sensitive" character who felt the importance of symbolism in painting "very deeply" and had greatly liked the inclusion of the angels in the final result.
"The face is very important and the other objects are also very important since this is how they will be remembered for centuries to come.
"He is an unusual person, he is very sensitive, clever, patient. He is a noble person," she said.
Her latest work in progress is a painting of Saint George slaying a dragon. She said she is doing it for herself and was "inspired by the Holy Spirit".
A protege of award-winning Russian artist Ilya Glazunov, who is best known for his patriotic and religious themes, Tsarkova said she would not consider straying from her classical style.
"If you have one eye here and the other there then it would be like a caricature!" she said.
Tsarkova's access to the papal residences helped lead to her newest venture -- a children's book inspired by a visit to a fish pond at the Castel Gandolfo papal summer residence near Rome.
The book tells the story of a young goldfish and his fondness for "the man in white" who feeds him bread -- a reference to the pope's summer hobby.
At the book launch in December, the pope's personal secretary Monsignor Georg Gaenswein said the book was "a window into the Holy Father's soul."

Love Alwaysby Harriet Evans
When Natasha Kapoor returns to her grandparents' idyllic coastal home for her beloved grandmother's funeral, her life is at a turning point. She thought by now she'd be a successful jewelry designer in/b>
A compelling and heartrending tale of lost love, family secrets, and those little moments that can change your life forever . . .
When Natasha Kapoor returns to her grandparents' idyllic coastal home for her beloved grandmother's funeral, her life is at a turning point. She thought by now she'd be a successful jewelry designer in London with a perfect marriage. Instead, she's got mounting bills and a soon-to-be ex.
After the funeral, Natasha's grandfather gives her the long-lost diary of her aunt Cecily. No one in her large and complicated family has ever discussed the tragic accident that took Cecily's life as a teenager, and within the diary's pages, Natasha finds a gripping and shocking tale of forbidden love, rivalry, and heartbreak.
Nearly fifty years later, will Cecily's diary finally explain her family's dark past and the terrible secret her aunt left behind? Is it possible it's just the inspiration Natasha needs to take a fresh look at her future, and maybe even give love a second chance? Fans of Jennifer Weiner and Emily Giffin will get hooked on internationally bestselling author Harriet Evans's warm, witty, and absorbing novel filled with original, rootworthy characters and complex family issues.

"Romantic [and] gripping" The Lady (UK)

'As she delves into the past, Natasha finally discovers the secrets that are buried there may hold the keys to her own future.

Natasha Kapoor returns to Cornwall for her grandmother's funeral and learns that secrets in her huge, extended family have lead to some weird dynamics. The truth begins to emerge when she is given her aunt Cecily's diary that documents some starling truths and sets Natasha on a road to personal discovery. There are a lot of layers to Natasha's history and it is wonderful to see her grow as she discovers the truth about her very existence. The main secret is that Natasha's grandmother, a famous painter, has stopped painting after her youngest daughter, Cecily, falls to her death. Natasha looks enough like Cecily to be her twin. There are so many entanglements in this family, you need a chart to keep track. They aren't hard to follow and each page brings about a new enlightenment on just what it means to be related. In a true mystery, the story about Cecily's death and the chaos it creates within the family is told through flashbacks and portions of her diary so you slowly begin to see all of the circumstance surrounding her death. This story will really keep your attention as it did mine as you try to guess what really happened to Cecily. I really couldn't put it down once I started. Natasha is such a complex character and I really wanted to find out what was holding her back in her life, whether her jewelery designing business or her love life. I loved how the story pulls past and present together to create her personal history. If you enjoy Madeleine Wickham or Jennifer Weiner, you are going to love this one. I think this may be my favorite Harriet Evans book yet! I would always try to get the UK versions as soon as they were released and I wish I hadn't waited on this one. Pure reading joy!
Enjoyed a lot.
I bought this book with the vague notion that it had been written by Hester Browne, author of the fluffy but very enjoyable Little Lady series. (Yes, I realize the cover has a different name on it, but in my defense let me say that my memory was a little fuzzy at the time.) A few chapters in, I was in shock: what had happened to turn an author of enjoyable fluff into an author of deep, thoughtful, heart-wrenching prose? (Again, checking the cover helped to answer that question.) I adore books with complex, multi-dimensional characters, long-kept secrets, fascinating historical details, and rewarding personal journeys. Do not be fooled by the cover: this book delivers in all those categories and more. I can only compare it to Kate Morton's The Distant Hours and Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle. All three are keepers and lenders, full of unforgettable moments frozen in time.
LOVED this book!!!! A wonderful mystery that keeps you interested and guessing! I loved the characters and the way the story jumps off the pages, I felt like I was there watching these peoples lives unfold! Bravo Ms. Evans Bravo!!!!
Very predictable, but still a great story
Whoa. I've read and loved all of Harriet Evans's previous books and this one is no different. However, this book was much different than the previous four and much darker than the others. I would call this dark(er) chick lit. There was some serious stuff in here. I loved the different fonts for Cecily's diary and everything else. Ms. Evans's did an astounding job at keeping me guessing what really happened to Cecily and everything else that went on in the family. There were some mind boggling twists. But this book does a great job at tapping into your emotions. I had tears running down my face at points. Harriet Evans has another book coming out soon. I sincerely hope it won't be as dark/heavy as this one, but I'm sure I'll love it even if it is.
Love all of Evans' books. This did not disappoint in the end...
As always, Harriet Evans not only entertain but also create characters that are interesting and complex. I can't wait for her nextbook.
Great read.... i love this author.
Such a good book, couldn't put it down!
This was hands down a fabulous book. Natasha Kapoor is at a crossroads with her jewelry business and personal life. The death of her beloved granny, a famous artist, sends her to the family home in Cornwall, called Summercove. As the family gathers, it's apparent that this extended group has a lot of secrets to share. As she heads back to London, Nat is given her aunt Cecily's diary, at least the part of it her grandfather found. Nat is told she resembles her Aunt Cecily, who tragically died in the summer of '63 as a fifteen year old. The vast number of characters--cousins, in-laws, friends--which I thought would be daunting at first, played out into their various roles very easily. Evans tells the story of Cecily's last summer eloquently via her school girl diary. The relationships of the present day are exquisitely handled as Nat begins to learn more about her mother's distance from the family and and learns a lot about herself as well. I will definitely pick up another one of Evans' novels again.

Learning Management Systems | News
Instructure has updated its Canvas learning management system in an effort to add "digital efficiency" and real-time analytics to in-person instruction.
Focused on active learning to encourage a concept the company calls "'lossless learning,' the suite uses on-the-fly feedback to help educators make the most of every interaction with their students by recording comprehension and skills assessment in face-to-face educational settings," according to an Instructure news release.
The new tools include MagicMarker, Canvas Polls, Learning Mastery for Students and Quiz Stats.
"MagicMarker is an iPad application that allows teachers to track in real-time how students are performing and demonstrating their learning in group settings," according to an Instructure news release. "MagicMarker bases measurement on outcomes or standards by simply swiping a certain direction to indicate if a student answered correctly or incorrectly. Teachers who provide students with frequent opportunities to respond can log performance with simple gestures."
The app automatically transfers data to the Canvas gradebook, where instructors can see it broken down by student or outcome.
Canvas polls is an app designed to allow instructors to integrate formative assessments or gauge comprehension without the use of physical clickers. Available for both iOS and Android, the app allows teachers to look at outcomes for individual students, groups or a whole class.
Learning Mastery for Students is an upgrade to the Learning Mastery Gradebook that allows students or their parents to "follow their academic progress, providing greater visibility into their strengths and areas of improvement," according to a news release.
Quiz Stats has been updated to provide charts and graphs in an effort to help teachers improve the effectiveness of assessments. The tool aims to help instructors find trends in responses to determine if individual questions are ambiguous or otherwise misleading and identify which questions actually differentiate between high-performing and low-performing students.
"Online learning trends like massive open online courses (MOOCs) have dominated the public conversation around education in recent years, overshadowing the tremendous potential for technology in the physical classroom," said Jared Stein, vice president of research and education at Instructure, in a prepared statement. "While face-to-face education is still the primary mode of teaching in our digital age, it has been difficult for educators to seamlessly assess and track learning when their attention should be on interacting with their students. These new tools change that."
The new tools will be publicly available to current Canvas users at no additional cost beginning June 25. More information about Canvas is available at instructure.com.

Goochland County Public Schools serve 2600 students outside of Richmond, VA. The district implemented PowerSchool Analytics in 2012 to more easily monitor student subgroups, meet federal objectives by tracking school and district performance data, and better meet the needs of all students by identifying exactly when they started struggling. They had an assessment tool, but what they didn't have was insight into how subgroup students were performing on all of their assessments, like MAP, PALS, WIDA, and CogAT. Without visibility, it was nearly impossible to catch and correct learning gaps immediately.

Different components comprise a bank accounting information system. Bank systems are classified as "hybrid" systems, which provide basic accounting operations, bank information systems decision support software, offline banking products (insurance, business financial management plans) implemented and initiated on intra-office networks to serve customers. Bank accounting systems are under state and federal regulatory agencies to ensure the accuracy and integrity of bank accounting systems.
General Ledger Systems
The general ledger is at the core of account processing and information systems in banking. The general ledger is the record accessed to perform account transactions. It records every transaction, which interfaces with a designation of accounts. A bank general ledger can be slightly different from modern industry general ledgers because of certain compliance rules set forth by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Banking general ledger systems operate on mid-range software, which can be turnkey software--out of the box software customized for banking industry applications.
Loan Accounting Applications
Banks make the majority of their money through loans and investments. Through loan accounting software, bank personnel can process the forms and paperwork needed to make a decision on a customer's credit standing. The managerial side of a loan accounting application is managers can access data to examine the bank loan portfolio, generate compliance checks for auditors and track loan loss reserve accounts. Loan origination software can interface with an accounting information system through most PC-based systems.
Mortgage Banking Applications
For banks in the mortgage industry, mortgage bank application modules create and maintain information according to mortgage loans provide by banks to its customers. The mortgage information system generates customer statements, tax statements for federal and state tax offices, and creates an escrow account for mortgages on the banks portfolio. On the general ledger, mortgage bank accounts consist of several sub-account layers reflecting taxes, actual value of the mortgage, assessed value of the mortgage and other variables.
Customer Account Applications
Customer account applications provide unique primary key identifiers to link customer information to an account number assigned by the information system during a creation of the account. The customer account is maintained on the system and referenced by account number, which is held in a field on the general ledger. The customer account number is the link for customers to interact with online and offline banking system applications. Customer account information is also the basis for transaction exception reporting for various customer account issues.
Internet Banking Applications
The latest evolution in banking information systems are web-based applications that support Internet banking. Internet banking programs interface with accounting information system through a web server or portal with the website or page performing the role as a template or "point of access." Through secure web-servers, customers can perform actions, which can affect, update or change general ledger status. Management analyzes reports pertaining to Internet banking, such as how many customers are using the Internet for deposits, transfers and access other banking products. Internet banking applications are also used for the online marketing of bank products through marketing software created for bank institutions.
