Abstract. The basic stages solving 2D irregular-shaped nesting problem are considered. Algorithms of definition of conditions not overlap two-dimensional objects, modes of the organization of exterior procedure of optimization and comparison results of their work, are considers.
Keywords: packing- nesting- hodograph of dense allocation function- no-fit-polygon- self-non-intersection conditions of polygons- irregular dense nesting of two-dimensional geometric objects.
Among set of the problems, taking place in practice, the important place is occupied the problems, connected with the layout at strips and plates of two-dimensional geometrical objects, for example, uncover details of the various form on sheets.
The solving of irregular-shaped nesting problem has interest for such branches as the sewing, paper industry, shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, radio electronics, furniture manufactures.
Are given: P = {p, p& gt-,… pj: pr2,i =
— list of geometrical objects (GO), Q ^ R — layout strip (LS) width W.
Let'-s designate: Pt (u) — geometrical object P, with coordinate'-s vector of reference point u e R2- X (P (U)) — length of layout strip for P with nesting geometrical parameters U.
It is necessary:
To find such U, that X (P (U)) ^ min
At following conditions: int P fa) Rint p (wj) = 0, Vi = n, Vj =, i * j
p (u) n (r 2 q)=0, vi=in
The structure of solving of this task corresponds its partition on the subtasks, presented on the diagram of methodology IDEF0 on Fig. 1.
3.1. Input data formats of two-dimensional GO
Data input about geometry GO can be present files of a certain format.
As a format of files for data storage one of widely used in CAD systems formats of an interchanging of the two-dimensional graphic information (DXF, DWG and est.) can be chosen or the format oriented for needs of given realized application.
In the given work two simplified formats of text files have been developed for data storage about geometry GO:
— File. sp — the text file containing the name of i — geometrical object, an amount of its vertices and their coordinates divided by a blank, in an index counter-clockwise in a local system co-ordinates.
— File. lp — the text file containing the similar information about some list GO.
3.2. Solving Approaches
2D irregular-shaped nesting problem can be considered as the problem of the mathematical programming defined on set of of feasible layouts of GO in layout strip (i. e. the layouts, satisfying to restrictions) [1].
One of applied modes for a solution of such problems is the method coordinate descent which leads to a partition of process solving on two parts:
1. Modeling of dense movement of GO in the strip layout — an interior part.
Fig. 1. Structure of solving 2D irregular-shaped nesting problem
2. Forming and a modification of sequence of objects to be place, and their orientation rather LS -an exterior (combinatorial) part.
Main purpose of interior procedure is determining the set of feasible locations that one GO may take with respect to another GO, such that geometrical objects do not overlap.
3.3. The review of methods modeling not overlap of two-dimensional geometrical objects
Methods of feasible layouts, i.e. layouts where the objects do not overlap and fit inside the strip layout are describe in paper [2].
In our paper, there is chosen the hodograph-oriented method or method, named no-fit-polygon (NFP), based on Minkowski sum [4], in view of following virtues:
— Simplicity of realisation for cases when placed GO is substituted by its convex hull, and already placed GO — non convex-
— A high speed of computation.
Consider algorithm of calculating the no-fitpolygon in more details.
Let are given:
Polygon A, established in strip layout and set by edges Ai (i = 1, 2, …, n). Each edge of a polygon A has an sign — TurningPoint, accepting value true or false. The polygon edge is considered rotary (TurningPoint = true) if the interior angle at one of
vertices of an edge is less 180 and at another — it is more 180 °.
Convex polygon B or a convex hull of a non-convex polygon B, which is required to be established layout strip, such that the polygons do not overlap.
The algorithm consists of three stages:
• Sort all edges of polygons by slope into one list —
• Forming list of edges for no-fit-polygon — gList-
• Forming outer envelope from set of edges gList, received at the second stage — gives NFP [A, B] (see Fig. 2).
Forming merge list of edges of polygons -mergeList.
The edges of polygons are ordered anti-clockwise and their edges are indexed, since the left lower edge.
The polygon B is inverted, i. e. the polygon — B = B* (-1) with the coordinates of vertices received by multiplication on -1 of coordinates of all vertices B, or otherwise, on the base list of edges of a polygon B, oriented clockwise.
All edges of polygons A and — B are put into the list mergeList, and the list is sorted by increase of slope of edges to an abscissa axis.
Forming list of edges for no-fit-polygon — gList. 1. There is an empty list of edges gList.
2. The initial position p in the list mergelist is established:
3. p = index of edge AO of a polygon A-
4. i = 0, where i — the counter of edges of a polygon A-
5. Dir = 1, where Dir — a direction of reading list mergeList (1 — a direct direction, (-1) -an inverse direction) —
6. Begin list reading.
7. If the edge mergeList [p] belongs to a polygon — B the edge is added in the list gList. And, the direction of added edge changes on opposite, if indication Dir =-1. We go to a step 12.
8. If the edge mergeList [p] belongs to a polygon A and its index is equal I, the edge is added in the list gList.
9. If the edge mergeList [p] has sign TurningPoint = true, Dir = Dir * (-1).
10. i = i+1.
11. p = p+Dir.
12. If i & lt- = A. size (size of array of edges of a polygon A, we go to a step 8.
13. We finish algorithm and exit.
Forming contour of no-fit-polygon from set of edges gList.
• From edges of gList we build a polygon (generally self-intersected).
Delete in the received polygon self-intersection and interior loops.
We do it in two stages:
a) we find all points of self-intersection of a polygon, include them as points of an exterior contour, and the edges which are between intersected edges it is deleted.
b) we find all points which are between points with identical coordinates, and it is deleted them.
• Under the received list of points we form a
contour which is NFP[A, B] - GAB. On Fig. 2 the example of calculation NFP of two polygons is presented by the above described method.
The set admissible for the arrangement of a polygon of points represents association of the areas limited various NFP (generally it can be inconsistent).
In the process of determination of an optimum point of place of next polygon Pj, from set of admissible points, we will consider points of local extreme. They can be found as a result of reviewing of following potential points of place (we will consider that numbers of polygons correspond to positions in the place list):
1. Vertices of NFP Gj next polygon to place Pj and any placed polygon Pi, i = 1, j — 1 —
2. Vertices of NFP Gq next polygon to place Pj and strip layout Q-
3. Intersections of edges Gj among themselves-
4. Intersections of edges Gj and edges Gj

Fig. 2. An example of calculation NFP of two polygons
Each potential point of the place moves on input of algorithm and is checked on an admissibility and an optimality.
Describe verbal exposition of algorithm.
1. Coordinates of a checked point are compared to co-ordinates of a current optimum point of place. That which satisfies to following conditions gets out of two points:
— if the layout direction is set to the right, with the minimum coordinate on OX, in case of coincidence x — with the minimum coordinate on OY-
— If the layout direction is set upwards, with the minimum coordinate on OY, in case of coincidence y — with the minimum coordinate on OX.
2. If the current optimum point, go to a step (an optimum point remained without modifications).
3. If the chosen point lies inside at least one of contours of NFP of the list { GiJ}, we finish algorithm work (the optimum point remained without modifications).
4. If the chosen point lies out of a contour of NFP Gqj, we finish algorithm work (the optimum point remained without modifications).
5. We do the chosen point by a new optimum point of the layout.
6. We finish algorithm and exit.
Before the beginning of procedure of exterior optimisation for all GO in the task, calculate angle of rotation GO such, that the gravity center point of each of them had the minimum coordinate on axis OX (OY) depending on the set direction of layout. Such position GO is considered rational.
In case there are some positions GO with identical distance from a gravity center point to band bottom in what the distance from a gravity center point to the left (lower) band will be minimum gets out of them.
By search of gravity center point, GO rotate rather the own system co-ordinate anti-clockwise on 360 degrees with some step rotate. Rational coordinates of a gravity center point and an angle of rotation corresponding to them are defined.
In considered work for finding sequence of nesting GO following modes of the organization of exterior procedure of optimization have been realized:
• Algorithm "the First Fit with sorted GO by area in descending order" (FF).
• Genetic algorithm (GA).
• Hybrid metaheuristic algorithm (GA+TA), consisting of two stages of optimisation: genetic algorithm and algorithm of a threshold admissibil-ity. At such approach, at the initial stage (application of genetic algorithm), the majority of admissible layout is enveloped that, certainly, involves the positive moment. Then to each of & quot-the good& quot- solutions received on the previous step, the algorithm of a threshold admissibility is applied.
The genetic algorithm differs that it does not use constructive (purposeful) operations in the process of finding of solutions. Genetic algorithm operates with set of random solutions which is called population. The genetic algorithm bears the collective beginning, there is the majority of admissible area of solutions, that allows to find the solutions near to the optimum is considered.
For adaptation GA on our task it is necessary:
1. To select a population of properties of the plant characterized in interior parameters and influencing its utility, i.e. to select set of operated parameters.
X = (X1, X2 Xn).
To present a vector X to the chromosome form.
As the method of consecutive single layout is chosen, as such set (chromosome) there can be a priority list (PL) GO, defining order of the layout, where Xi — GO, characterised by the identifier (by ordinal number in the initial entering list), geometrical parameters (coordinates in local system and a system concerning strip layout) and orientation.
2. To formulate a quantitative estimation of utility of variants of object (chromosome) — a utility function F. As such function minimisation of occupied part LS is chosen.
3. To make the mathematical model of the object representing algorithm of an evaluation F for the set vector X. As such model the model NFP of the dense layout of polygons in LS is chosen.
4. To choose algorithms of operators in GA.
— A choice of parents for crossing.
This operator imitates natural selection. As parents the next chromosome of population and the chromosome randomly chosen from current population which are distinct from first get out sequentially.
— A choice of an operator of a crossover.
The crossover consists in transmission parts of genes from parents to children. It is chosen two-point PMX (Partially Matched Crossover) crossover. Chromosomes of parents are broken off in two
positions identical to both parents, rupture places are generated randomly. Crossover PMX is adopted specially for tasks at which in a chromosome there should be all possible genes (GO), and only once. At an interchanging parts of genes of parents if in a chromosome — child the gene of one of parents meets repeatedly it is substituted with the interfaced gene of other parent.
— A choice of an operator of a mutation.
The operator of a mutation of a chromosome-descendant is fulfilled with the set probability. To some probability there is an interchanging of ordinal values of following GO in the priority list, chosen in a random way and rotate chosen GO on the set angle. Thanks to mutations the area of genetic search extends.
— A choice of an operator of selection.
After each iteration population of children is formed, the new generation joins the best chromosomes from parental population and population of children, that the principle elitism is used.
The algorithm & quot-Threshold Accepting» TA is method modification «Simulated Annealing» and bears the individual beginning.
Method TA has that advantage before a method «Simulated Annealing» that it depends only on one parameter — particular threshold (T).
Irregular-shaped nesting problem using hodo-graph-oriented adaptation of this method is considered in [3].
As criterion of the termination and criterion of an equilibrium state we will accept an amount iterations as parameters of exterior optimization.
The threshold modification happens is multiplicative:
1 new 1 current ^ 5
where a — factor of lowering of a threshold (it is set in a range from 0 to 1).
In our case the algorithm of TA is applied to each chromosome (PL) the best population, received as a result of work GA. The next solution is formed by rotate randomly chosen GO on the set angle.
The multi-core processor allows to multi-sequencing part of operations in task.
Operations of cycle on population size, performed in parallel in realization of genetic algorithm. Library TPL (Task Parallel Library) parallelizing in. NET Framework is used. Parallelism of the
data is supported by means of method For (), defined in class Parallel.
For example, parallelization ensures reduction of computational time in 4 times, if size of population N = 30 and number iterations 10 at layout 17 non- convex geometric objects.
For an estimation of quality of the received solutions the factor of layout Kp which is defined by the ratio of the sum of areas of all GO, placed in LS to area of the rectangle limited to a width and length (height) of area of the layout is used.

For estimation of efficiency of the software realizing considered algorithms, the test data using 13 GO, 1 convex and 12 non-convex (Fig. 3) has been used.
Example 1. Input list of following GO: P1, P2, P3, P4, P8, P9, P10, P11, P13 on 1 unit- P5 on 7 units- P6 on 8 units- P7 on 2 units- P12 on 10 units. In total: 36 GO. The strip layout has a width 20.
Example 2. Input list of following GO: P1, P2, P4, P7, P8, P9, P10, P11, P12, P13 on 1 unit- P3 on 5 units- P6 on 15 units- P5 on 4 units. In total: 34 GO. The strip layout has a width 25.
The best solution for examples 1 and 2 is received by the algorithm at use of the hybrid scheme (GA+TA) — genetic algorithm + algorithm of a threshold accepting. The best solutions are presented in Fig. 4.

Аннотация: Среди множества задач, возникающих на практике, важное место занимают задачи, связанные с нерегулярным размещением двумерных геометрических объектов, например, раскрой листов на плоские заготовки, компоновка двумерных объектов в заданной области размещения. Все они являются задачами оптимизационного геометрического моделирования и, с точки зрения комбинаторной сложности, принадлежат к классу WP-трудных. Дополнительную геометрическую сложность при их решении составляет проблема соблюдения условий взаимного непересечения размещаемых объектов между собой и с границами зоны размещения. В работе рассматривается задача нерегулярного плотного размещения невыпуклых геометрических объектов, аппроксимированных многоугольниками, на полубесконечной полосе минимальной длины. Для её решения предложен внутренний алгоритм с применением годографа функции плотного размещения, основанный на анализе возможных точек занесения объекта в область упаковки и алгоритм внешней оптимизации с использованием гибридной метаэвристики.
Ключевые слова: нерегулярное размещение геометрических объектов- годограф функции плотного размещения- условия взаимного непересечения двумерных геометрических объектов.

Short Story – When The Sun Dips
Story in Bunbury 13
On Anti-Oedipus (1972) by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari
Dispatches From The Back of My Mind
The new room has turned into a fought over territory. Starting this weekend I have been engaged in a constant battle against the hordes of ants. Their bites pack a mean punch. I'm wondering if they were the culprits behind my spate of itching bites (they were confined almost entirely to my feet and lower legs). I hope that they are just as susceptible to the DEET repellent as the mosquitoes were. Whatever it is that's causing the issue, soon it won't be my problem. Shortly I leave Guyana. There's an app online which lets you track your plane. As of typing mine is in Honduras.
On Monday a dreadful motorcycle collision comes in. The young woman on the back was in X factor. She is pretty badly hurt. As she is being intubated in the critical bay, a nurse beside me asks our opinion on her ethnicity. Its one of the details to be recorded on the admission forms. By this point it seems pretty irrelevant. She doesn't make it. Her relatives loudly mourn her. I can hear them from the other end of the department where I am helping to set her 'boyfriend"s leg. I use the inverted commas because when asked he doesn't know her name.
Later on we receive some excellent teaching from an local cardiologist and an ER doctor from Vanderbilt on Heart Failure and Disaster Management. During the teaching, the cardiologist refers to the UK as a first world country when discussing the management options post-MI. It is weird to hear someone from a self-professed third world country call us that, like she's admitting defeat almost. It seems archaeic.
Throughout most of last week I had lunch at House of Flavors. I don't think I'll ever be hungry again. It is the same creole food every day and there's only one smorgasbord option on the menu, but it's delicious and costs less than £1. Plus I think it has all my five a day and comes with sriracha sauce. No wonder my I've restricted my diet. To branch out I try going to some other restaurants. Steppers and Maggies's (a deli) are ok, but it is more expensive and less good. I'll have to stick with the best lunch in the world I guess.
On my way back from the market I pass a busy crossroads with all of the drive-thru restaurants and have an unpleasant shock. Two men in seemingly plain clothes walk out of a restaurant carrying pump action shotguns. This is it, I think, everyone here is about to be robbed. I am everyone. I've read about the high crime rates in Georgetown but I'd hoped by playing it safe I'd never have to be the victim. I have never before truly experienced the sensation that people describe in books as 'my heart ran cold' but that was what it felt like. It was only when they turned away from me that I could see the teeny tiny security logo on the back of their t-shirts. A third was sat in an outside booth with mirror shades and a milkshake. The relief, phew! They need some ID badges or something. The duo got into the back of their armoured car which was parked around the corner. I guess you shouldn't jump to conclusions.
On the EU result I'll keep it short but I will say this. I am disappointed. I had hoped to do some travelling and maybe even work abroad after my degree. This will be a barrier to that. In my opinion we were better off in both financially and culturally but I suppose only time will tell. On the morning of the announcement I was revising Spanish. Normally I only spend twenty minutes doing this but on that day I kept it up for three hours.
On Friday night we had another blackout at about 9. The music next door shut off and all of the car alarms sprang to life. They're on a hair trigger I tell you. A large cockroach surprised me in the shower. It waggled its enormous antennae at me then skittered away when I flicked it with my foot. I still hate mosquitoes more.
At the weekend I watched the Glastonbury coverage with my Sheffield VPN on iPlayer. I got to see Sigur Ros live (on my laptop, I have yet to see them in person), Wolf Alice, Adele and many more as well as being able to catch up with the sets of Foals and Paul Heaton. One year I'll make it. For now it's just another way of marking the summer; I know that someone will be watching it at home in the kitchen with the French windows ajar.
I left the guesthouse to buy a pineapple from the market and was caught in the downpour. Most people were laughing. I met a very friendly teacher who asked me how Guyana can improve itself. I didn't to be rude so I mentioned something about seatbelts which made him laugh. I get my pineapple and take some good photos. Georgetown is one of those cities which is equally beautiful in the rain, if not more so. At least the weather is warm. At home the pineapple is attacked and diced by a cleaver and serves lunch for one over three days. Or two, since some of it goes missing from the fridge.
After doing the Epley manoeuvre for a week, I think my BPPV has gone, a relief. It's been an odd an unpleasant experience and I wonder what triggered it. At least I'll never forget it for any OSCE in the future.

bis Freitag, 31. März 2017 - 18:00 Uhr
- Syracuse, Italy - Grand Hotel Minareto
- a href="/http://www.engconf.org/conferences/materials-science-including-nanotechnology/syntactic-and-composite-foams-v/"
- Nano Materials, Bio / Health, Energy / Environment, MEMS / NEMS / Electronics, Actuators / Sensors / Robotics, Automotive / Aviation / Aerospace, Nanocoating / Surfaces, Instrumentation / Equipment / Analysis, 3D Printing, Conference
Syntactic foams and rigid polymer, metal, and ceramic foams containing a reinforcing and/or functional phase are the intended focus of this conference. These foams are typically used in applications that take advantage of their low density, very high specific properties, tailored pore structure, enhanced energy absorption characteristics, and flame retardant properties.
The scope of the conference will include fabrication, characterization, modeling, and applications of the foams; the production and characterization of reinforcing and functional materials specifically used for these foams (i.e. hollow spheres, micro/nanoparticles, particles with specific electric, magnetic, dielectric properties, thermal, biological, etc.). SCF-V will include a new session topic: Renewables and Sustainability. This will include the used of bio-based renewable material in foam formulations, "light-weighting" application for improved energy efficiency as well as well as important application of composite foams in renewable energy applications.
Work in syntactic foams has expanded over the past three decades or so from its inception with two-phase polymer matrix foams based upon hollow glass or polymer spheres for applications in the marine and submarine industry. Today, the field has expanded to include polymer, metal and ceramic hollow spheres and matrices. In addition, with fibers, nanoparticles and interstitial voids engineered into these materials, three and four-phase materials are now possible. Composite foams have grown out of conventional blown polymer foams to now include the addition of diverse functional elements, resulting in complex microstructures that can be engineered to meet specific applications. Also, blown polymer foams are now used as precursor structures for metal and ceramic composite foams and advances in production techniques for the various component materials have resulted in advances in the mechanical, acoustic and thermal properties of these foams that have dramatically broadened their applications.
Thus by incorporating hollow and solid particles, nanoparticles, fibers, and specialized foaming agents, coupled with novel processing techniques, foams with unique and tailored properties can be attained. Because of such innovations, the role of syntactic and composite foams has expanded into the aerospace, automotive, communications, biomedical, electronics, sporting, and transportation industries.
History: The first international conference on Syntactic and Composite Foams (SCF-I), under the auspices of ECI, Inc. was held in Banff, Canada in August, 2004 and was quite successful. Manufacturers of syntactic foam components had the opportunity to interact with applications specialists and academicians and numerous connections and collaborative efforts have ensued. The papers presented at the conference were published, after peer review, in a special issue of the Journal of Materials Science. The second conference in this series (SCF-II), sponsored by ECI, was held in Davos, Switzerland in 2007. That was also a very successful meeting and the papers presented at the conference were again published in Journal of Materials Science. SCF-III, held in Calabria, Italy in 2011, was the third in this series; it provided a continued forum for discussions in this rapidly growing field of syntactic foams and composite foams. Although all of the SCF conferences have demonstrated the essence of the camaraderie that an ECI format can bring; SCF-IV in Santa Fe, NM, USA stood above the rest. There was an extraordinary amount of interaction during the presentations, social events, and free-time. The proposed SCF-V will build on the foundation from the previous four.
Outline of Conference: The conference is designed to be multi-disciplinary in nature to encourage participation from universities, industry (research and manufacturing), and government labs. The session outline below is very general and will be refined as papers are submitted. In each session there will be an invited or keynote speaker (except for the poster session and the round table discussion).
Session 1: Interfaces, Reinforcements, and Performance
Session 2: Fabrication/Characterization of Particles and Hollow Spheres
Session 3: Renewables and Sustainability
Session 4: Processing and Modeling Foam-Based Composites
Session 5: Syntactic and Composite Foams – Characterization
This afternoon is generally left free for an outdoor excursion
Session 6: Poster Session
Session 7: Syntactic and Composite Foams – Characterization
Session 8: Emerging Applications and Characterization Methods
Round Table Discussion
Below are tentative areas that we will try to cover in this conference:
Composite foam-based structures
Blast, ballistic and protection
Functional foams and green technology
Electric and acoustic
Bio-based composite foam materials (natural fibers and fillers, non-petroleum polymers)
Foams and sustainability (green energy applications)
Buoyancy and subsea
Process and mechanical modeling
Thermal management and protection
Tooling and Thermoforming

Rated 5 out of 5 by runinrick from Perfect for me I have the Nathan triangle pak that I have used daily for my afternoon runs while I build for Habitat in FL. It is comfortable to carry and the bottle hols enough water for a hot 8 mile run. Now I need a new double bottle one for long runs.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Very Useful It stays put and the little zipper pouch is big enough for ID, a key, and maybe a few cough drops. The little bungee strap keeps the water bottle from sliding out of the holster. If the bottle was dishwasher safe I would give it five stars.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Watered Down While I enjoy the peace of mind that I have 22 oz of water on my back, I am no camel. The size of the bottle as it hits my waist can be annoying. The side straps are not wide enough to hold the heavy bottle stable during a full sprint. While I enjoy the peace of mind that I have my keys in the waist pouch secured latched, the pouch is thin and cannot fit much more. I like having a bottle of hand sanitizer, a packet of tissue and some energy gel or chews in my belt for good measure. With all those items, I have no room for my phone. I end up using this belt with an armband for my runs. This belt offers much but has some drawbacks. I am still pleased with this purchase.

The Nathan bottle holder is wonderful for carrying water and phone and keeping hands free while walking or running. Very comfortable and does not bounce around as you walk. Very pleased with product and would recommend it to all who exercise.

10 Reasons to Stay at Padma Resort Legian
We Loved it and Here's Why0
Padma Resort Legian is your best bet for a luxurious stay in Bali's popular beach resort area between Kuta and Seminyak. It is one of the very few five-star resorts in the area, and it is also one of the few resorts on the island with the 'legendary' status of having a local road named after them. Located at the end of Jalan Padma, you enter a sanctuary with 432 guestrooms and suites spread amongst leafy gardens, water features and beautiful pools.
Alfresco dining venues, vast open spaces and top-notch facilities make it hard to leave the resort grounds. However, should you wish to explore out, you only need to cross the main beach path from its ocean-view beach club to hit the sands of Legian. Stepping outside, you are only walking distance away to Legian's rows of shopping and lively nightlife hotspots. Here are all the 10 reasons to stay at the Legian icon – the Padma Resort Legian.Read More

1Five-star art sanctuary0
Art lovers will admire this resort's wealth of art items and sculptures. You will enjoy an imaginative tour as you walk through the tropical garden pathways, from life-size busts of mythical Balinese dragons snaking out of the green lawn, busts of cows lazing under the shades of palms, a barong mask at the kids pool, to bronze sculptures in the entrance and lobby area.2Gorgeous chalet-style suites0
Padma Resort presents a collection of cosy chalet-style suites, each well suited for honeymooners and couples. The Club Chalet is a great choice, offering 43.8sqm of space with a balcony overlooking the resort's gardens filled with art and sculptures. A luxurious bathroom with 'his and her' vanities, a separate rain shower, and a large bathtub adds to the appeal for couples.0
Hit the SKAI Beach Club right on the beachfront edge of the resort, where its 'minus two-degree Celsius' draft Bintangs and signature cocktails go great in hand as you sink into the alfresco lounge sofas or soaking in the infinity pool. DJs feature nightly playing lounge house and Balearic style, easy-going beats. Read More...4A Wonderful 1000sqm lagoon pool0
In addition to the resort's gorgeous Olympic-sized infinity pool near the beachside, behold the equally large freeform lagoon pool near the gardens, with different tiered sections and small leafy 'islands' of which a sunken bar also takes form. A bridge connects the lagoon rooms to parasol-shaded loungers, while adding to the aesthetics of this unique recreational area.5A block just for families!0
Padma is not only great for couples and honeymooners. It presents its own block that is dedicated just for families. Unveiled in early 2015, this new block features rooms offering 64sqm of space with one master bedroom, a kids room with bunk bed, two bathrooms and a spacious private balcony. The rooms flank the kids' pool that boasts three water slides, a juice bar, gelato stand and a kids club filled with lots of fun games and activities.6A soothing garden oasis0
Situated in a beach resort area that is partly popular for its nightlife scenes with its seemingly endless rows of bars and restaurants, Padma Resort Legian offers a soothing spot to escape to. It has 6.8 hectares of tropically landscaped gardens, which also make way to dappled pathways, and with lotus ponds and stunning art sculptures throughout.7Eclectic dining options0
Complementing the highlight SKAI Beach Club are Donbiu, the main breakfast restaurant that presents multiple food stations; The Deli near the lobby, Tenkai Japanese Restaurant where you can enjoy amazing cooking flair up close at its Teppanyaki bar, and sunken pool bars at each of its two pools.8Padma Spa by Mandara0

Optional Practical Training OPT for F-1 Students
Definition of Optional Practical Training Optional Practical Training (OPT), allows F-1 students to gain a maximum of 12 months of practical experience directly related to their field of study per degree level. It is considered off-campus employment.
Eligibility Requirements For Optional Practical Training Students may engage in OPT after being enrolled consistently for at least one full academic year. For example students who start in the Fall term are eligible for OPT at the end of the Spring term. Students do not need to secure employment before applying for OPT.
When Can I Use Optional Practical Training? Pre-completion OPT While school is in session, provided that practical training does not exceed 20 hours a week while school is in session. Students may only work up to a total of 20 hours per week at any employment both on and off campus during the semester. During school vacations up to full time. After completion of all course requirements for the degree excluding thesis or research project for a graduate student in a masters, or doctoral degree program. Post-completion OPT After completion of the course of study.
When am I done? Graduate Students "Completion of all degree requirements" is defined strictly as follows: all approvals will have been given, including Graduate Studies Office approval on degree certification paperwork and (if relevant) on theses/dissertations; final thesis/dissertation copies will have been submitted to the Library; and the Library Binding Authorization Form, signed by an appropriate Library representative, will have been returned to the Graduate Studies Office. Students must allow sufficient time for thesis review by the Graduate Studies Office, to make all corrections that may be required, to prepare the final Library submission copies, and to accomplish the final approval steps which generally take a minimum of two to three weeks.
A total of 12 months is available for OPT per degree level. Students who do Pre-completion OPT will have that time deducted from the 12 months available. For example if you apply for and receive three months of full time OPT during a summer session, you will only have nine months of post completion OPT available. Part-time OPT is always deducted from the available OPT at 50% of the full-time rate. For example, a student who works for 6 months part-time will have 3 months deducted from the 12 month total OPT time (this option is not available for Post-completion OPT).
When am I done? Undergraduate Students are complete when all courses and academic requirements have been met to complete degree program.
Time Limits of OPT Your OPT ends if you transfer to another school or if you enroll in a new degree program. The 12 months of OPT are only available until 14 months after the date of completion of a particular degree level. You can only do 12 months of OPT at each degree level. However you may split the 12 months between two degrees at the same level. However, if you request 12 months after the first degree and do not use it all, you cannot reapply for the remaining time after the second.
When applying for OPT, "timing is everything!" Student may apply prior to end date (Item #5 on I-20) or in the sixty day time period after completion of degree. Per UMass Dartmouth procedure post completion OPT requests will only be processed by the ISSC within thirty days of the date of the program completion. A student may request a waiver of UMass Dartmouth's procedure and may process the application up to 90 days before the date of completion. Applications should be sent ninety days before requested start date. Requested start dates can be no later than two months after end date of completion of the academic program. Pre and Post completion OPT requests have identical processing times but separate codes on the application. Pre completion is scheduled to start and end prior to the end date of degree program on I-20. Post completion is scheduled to start and end after end date of degree program on I-20.
Application Deadline For OPT Post Completion Of Studies We strongly recommend that you start the application process for post completion OPT 90 days before you hope to start your employment. Pre completion OPT applications can be submitted 120 days (or 90 days before the end of the one academic year requirement) before the start date The regulations mandate that a application request must received and receipted by USCIS before the sixty days grace period ends after completion of the degree program. USCIS can take up to 90 day or more to process OPT and there is no way to expedite it. We cannot make inquiries about applications until they have had it for 90 days.
OPT Application Checklist Completed OPT Request and Recommendation form The request for post-completion OPT will not be processed by the ISSC until a student is within thirty days of date of completion of degree or is in the sixty days after the degree completion unless a waiver is requested in writing Check or money order made payable to the US Department of Homeland Security.

You will receive an email when the application has been reviewed and the I-20 is ready.
Important Information for Post completion OPT Applicants The ISSC places a hold on the COIN account of any post completion OPT applicant. We will not release the EAD for any post completion OPT until we confirm the degree requirements have been met. Travel outside of the United States after the program end date on your I-20 is not recommended until you have received your EAD card and have at minimum a confirmed job offer. If you leave the country before practical training is authorized you will forfeit your practical training privileges. If you plan to travel after post completion OPT has been granted you must have the following documents with you at the Port of Entry to the United States: I-20 ID properly endorsed within the last six months Unexpired F-1 student visa EAD card Unexpired passport Letter from employer confirming employment (Any) OPT employment begins and ends on the dates stipulated on the EAD card.

What documentation does the SEVP recommend? "SEVP recommends that students maintain evidence - for each job - of the position held, proof of the duration of that position, the job title, contact information for the student's supervisor or manager, and a description of the work. If it is not clear from the job description that the work is related to the student's degree, SEVP highly recommends that the student obtain a signed letter from the employer's hiring official, supervisor, or manager stating how the student's degree is related to the work performed." NAFSA Advisors Manual 2008 18.104.22.168
90 Day Employment Rule Students on post completion OPT who have passed the 90 th day after the start of their EAD card without reporting the beginning of any employment are not maintaining status. This includes students who have acquired employment but will not start the employment until after the 90 th day. The 90 day rule is applicable for the entire 12 months. For example you be gin work thirty days after the start date on your EAD card. At that point you only have 60 days of allowed unemployment remaining. Three months later you are laid off and you don't start employment for 50 days. You are now left with 10 days of allowed unemployment. There is no sixty days grace period after the 90 th day The ISSC is not required or directed to terminate the student's I-20 or take any action at all.
More Information.... According to the regulations a student may be authorized for 12 months of practical training per degree level, and may becomes eligible for another 12 months of practical training when he or she changes to a HIGHER educational level. Students who are currently on post completion OPT and who received degrees in certain STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ) AND who are working for companies that are registered on E-Verify MAY be able to apply for an additional 17 months per the final interim rule published on April 8, 2008.

Forewarning: This is a vent.
Hubby and I have now been TTC our first for 11 months with zilch luck. DOn't get me wrong, I understand that that is considered a fairly normal timeframe but we are noth only 22yrs old with no health problems! I've been doing everything right with diet, vitamins and dtd
I normally have a regular 36-38 day cycle and am currently at least 4 days late for AF. Started testing day AF was due and still BFN. I normally get tender breasts before AF, but they haven't been sore this month which was a bit unusual. Also has a SIGNIFICANT increase in CM over the last couple of days which has never happened before. Couple of other things lately too, such as feeling tired and then not being able to sleep and slight waves of nausea upon waking up that settle really quickly. Trying not to read to much in to these things as I don't want to get my hopes up and I know our bodies change all the time and all these things can prob be explained by other things.
I feel like pulling out my hair. If I'm not pregnant fine, but could AF at least come so I can start again??? I hate being in limbo!!!!!
It gets so distressing because I start letting myself hope each day and then... BFN. WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!
Anybody had any similar experiences or ideas as to what might be happening?

text: On a sports radio station in Columbia, SC, the host of the show was upset at fans leaving the LSU game a few minutes early. He was saying the fans should show the same loyalty as the players to the team. I might have just become to old to understand his point. Players leave school early to turn pro, can't keep grades up, get into trouble with the law, so why shouldn't a fan leave early if he wishes or has another place to be at a set time? If a player is running around when he should be at study, I don't believe he is loyal or thinking about his team. The host said the players play for the fans, again I might have come from a different world, I didn't, I played to win. For the most part I didn't know how many people were there until the game was over. From my view, good games will keep fan in their seat for the most part, bad games won't and games that look like they are lost won't.


text: Did Jesus suffer just so much for just so many, only shedding blood for a particular number of elect individuals? Or Is the atonement of Christ provisional, like the snake lifted in the dessert? Or the Passover sacrifice? Or all the other atonement sacrifices of the OT, where it is provided for WHOEVER responds to God's words in faith? Anyone could look to the snake to be healed. Anyone could wipe the blood over their door to be passed-over. These are examples of PROVISIONAL ATONEMENT, not limited atonement. Why would it change and where is the proof that it did change? What say you?

December sales were below sales a year earlier, but 2013's total was the highest since 2006.
Existing-home sales rose slightly in December, but the market lost momentum and inventories of homes for sale tightened.
December existing-home sales rose 1% from November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.87 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday.
That was below analyst expectations of 4.9 million and marked the second month in a row that sales posted a year-over-year drop. December sales were down 0.6% from a year ago, NAR says.
November's rate was also revised down to 4.82 million.
For all of 2013, sales were 5.09 million, up 9% from 2012, the strongest showing since 2006.
"We lost some momentum toward the end of 2013 from disappointing job growth and limited inventory," says Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. Still, he says the year ended at a pace close to normal given the size of the population.
Housing inventories are still tight at a 4.6-month supply, NAR said, down from a 5.1-month supply in November. Typically, Realtors consider a six-month supply to be a balanced market.
Inventory typically falls in the winter, but December's was the lowest level in seven months, even with seasonal adjustments, says Jed Kolko, Trulia chief economist.
"That's tough news for buyers hoping to have more homes to choose from this spring," Kolko says.
Increasing home prices should bring out more sellers this year, but tight inventory will remain a "headwind" for the spring housing season, he says.
Existing-home sales figures reflect completed sales of single-family homes as well as townhomes, condominiums and co-ops.
Single-family home sales rose 1.9% in December from the month before but were also below last year's level.
The slowdown in momentum has been seen in previously hot markets, local market watchers say.
Fewer investor buyers are part of the reason, says Mike Orr, Phoenix real estate expert at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.
In that market, investor buyers are now accounting for about half as many sales as they did a year ago, Orr says. Meanwhile, regular buyers are "not coming to the game as strongly as they used to," he says.
Phoenix single-family home prices were up 15% in November year over year, CoreLogic data show.
Given higher prices and interest rates, Orr expects a more subdued market this year, driven more by employment growth and young buyers vs. investors.
Home buyers are also finding less competition for homes in Southern California's Inland Empire, says Paul Reid, agent with brokerage Redfin.
While well-priced homes typically drew 15 to 20 offers this time last year, two or three are more common now, he says.
"Buyers are feeling a lot more confident negotiating," Reid says. Single-family home prices in that market are up 23% year over year, CoreLogic says.
While currently "lackluster," U.S. home sales should improve in the coming months given a stronger economy and better employment numbers, says Robert Curran, managing director for Fitch Ratings. Fitch expects existing home sales this year to hit 5.16 million.

Presley: FCC maps will cost broadband funding
Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley announced that the Public Service Commission yesterday unanimously approved the first in a series of filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the purpose of expanding cellular telephone coverage and high speed internet service in Mississippi.
The filings come in response to FCC requests for comments on coverage issues associated with its Mobility Fund and National Broadband Map. The FCC distributes funds for mobile and broadband assistance based on need, heightening the importance ofaccurate data on where such service is lacking. Presley says the current maps on file with the FCC show that Mississippi is almost entirely covered with high speed internet service which he says is inaccurate.

The first support group for individuals touched by any type of cancer, is Wednesday, Oct. 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., in the hospital's Polodna Room. (Photo by Correne Martin)
By Correne Martin
For cancer sufferers and survivors, family members, friends and caregivers, it's so important to know there are others out there going through similar disheartening circumstances. Just being in the company of those individuals who have been touched by any type of cancer is comforting and motivating.
Because of the reassurance she's personally felt while working with the most compassionate, Christine Carlson, a breast cancer survivor, wants to channel her energy into starting a cancer support group in Prairie du Chien.
The first meeting will be Wednesday, Oct. 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Polodna Room at Crossing Rivers Health. The free meetings will follow the third Wednesday of every month at that same time. Individuals touched by any form of cancer are welcome.
Friday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the 2016 Crawford County Clean Sweep event will once again take place at the Crawford County Highway Shop, one mile south of Seneca. All county residents who can provide proof of residency may participate in the event.
Chemicals accepted include:
•Unused, damaged, canceled, banned, or otherwise unwanted agricultural chemicals, including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides, and wood preservatives.
•Other agricultural chemicals including veterinary supplies, lead paint, acid washes, wood finishes, solvents and engine cleaners.
•Household chemicals including paint, stain, used oil, oil filters, and antifreeze.
Household CFL bulbs and fluorescent tubes will be accepted (for quantities over 50 bulbs/tubes, a $.25/bulb charge will apply).

Crawford County Emergency Government Director Jim Hackett told the Crawford County Board Tuesday morning that the county will almost certainly get FEMA assistance for the flood and rain damages caused by the storms of Sept. 21 and 22.
"We will reach the threshold," said Hackett, who noted that the threshold for the 12-county area that sustained damages to roads, bridges and other public infrastructure is $8.5 million. Hackett said Vernon County will go over $6 million. An estimate, as of Sept. 29, for Crawford County was $3,463,950. "It's a matter of when, not if," said Hackett about the possibility of receiving FEMA funding.
The 12 counties include Adams, Chippewa, Clark, Columbia, Crawford, Eau Claire, Jackson, La Crosse, Monroe, Richland, Vernon and Wood.
Due to heavy rain on Sept. 21 and Sept. 22, there was a train derailment with no injuries, widespread damage and two fatalities in southwest Wisconsin.
Charges have been officially filed in Crawford County Circuit Court regarding a three-year investigation into the assault of a man at Rock on the River in the town of Bridgeport.
A Hampton, Ga., man accused of murdering his girlfriend in the town of Bridgeport, was charged with first degree reckless homicide in Crawford County Circuit Court Monday afternoon, Oct. 17.
Jimmy D. McDaniel, 49, appeared via video at his initial court appearance and began crying as Judge Lynn Rider read the charge to him. McDaniel continued to cry throughout most of the hearing.

Grading work was done last week along Highway 27, just east of Prairie du Chien, as part of the flood mitigation project the city of Prairie du Chien is completing to potentially slow rainwater and debris flowing down from the bluffs, thus alleviating flood damages when heavy rain events occur. (Photo by Correne Martin)
Flood mitigation work has recently changed the landscape significantly along Mondell Hill, just east of Prairie du Chien beside Highway 27. Trees were removed, grading is being done, and two detention basins and a bypass storm sewer are being built. The hope is for this municipal project to slow rainwater and debris flowing down from the bluffs, thus alleviating runoff flood damage when heavy rain events occur.
According to Matt Muchow, professional engineer and on-site manager for Vierbicher Associates, crews moved the earth for a north bypass, from Webster Street to Godden Pit, over the past few weeks. Last week, work consisted of mostly grading along Highway 27.
"We just started making basin 1 [last] week," Muchow said. "We'll put the trash rack and pond outlet in, in about a week. The grading for basin 2, by Jackson Street, and the trash rack and pond outlet there will also be done soon."
This sign, made by Design Homes, will be erected along Cliffwood Drive, at the building site for the animal shelter.
It's been nine years in the making.
The Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter board and volunteers are ready to break ground for their highly-anticipated animal shelter at 460 Cliffwood Dr. on the north side of Prairie du Chien. The official groundbreaking will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 25, at 2:30 p.m. Cake and coffee will be served; parking will be allowed along Cliffwood for the event.
Plans are for Top Notch Construction to build the exterior shell of the shelter in the coming months on 3.4 acres of property in the city's business park.

With the support of several area businesses, cartoonist John Mundt, Esquire, of Prairie du Chien, is hosting the 13th annual Fallfire Art Contest now through Saturday, Nov. 5. Open to artists of any age, and in all mediums, Fallfire is now accepting submissions.
Inspired by the sights and sounds of autumn, Mundt, illustrator of "The Collected Short Stories of L. Frank Baum," founded the contest in 2004 to challenge artists to "flex their creative muscles." Participants are asked to create a work inspired by the word "fallfire."
"Fall always puts me in a very creative mood. I hope to share that feeling with this creativity-inducing exercise," Mundt said.
