'Browning,*' and "Hawthorn," are the subjects for three lectures which Mr. Leou Vincent will givo at the Peoples Theatre, Dec. 30tb, 31st and Jan. 2nd. under tbe anspiees of St. TauIs' Church. Mr. Vincent has lectured extensively from Chau-atnqua to Florida, and everywhere is spoken of as a most winning and popular lecturer. It is said of him that wherever be has been beard he has always been asked to return tbe second season. A Narrow Kiwpe. Mrs. Chas. F. Parsons returned Thursday evening from a visit to some relatives iu New York city. During her stay there, tbe house that she was stopping at was discovered about 2 p. tn. to be on 6rc. With great exertions they fled to tbe roof and were saved. Tbey barely escaped with their lives, Tbe personal property of tbe relatives wan all lost, not even saving their garments, iirs. Parsons and daughter Mary saved some ot their garments. Tbe friends aad relatives ou her safe return, gave her an ovation for her safe deliverance. Cold WmTQA Are predicted with reliable accuracy, and people liable to the paias and aches of rheumatism dread every change to damp or stormy weather. Although Hood's Sarsaparilla is not claimed to be a positive apeoiflo for rheumatism, tbe remarkable onres it bas effected show that it may be taken for this complaint with reasonable certainty of benefit. Ita action in neutralizing the acidity of tbe blood, which is the cause of rheumatiam, constitutes the seciet of tbe success of Hood's Sarsaparilla. If jou suffer from rheumatism, give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial; it will do you good. To The Ch�rU�ble. Wa knovr that there were charitable people in Look Haven last year, and for many years before, because when we askad them to assist us in relieving the poor and destitute, they came to our assistance. We beUeve that many of these people are �till here, and when we tell them� that in our investigations we have fonnd muck destitution and want, suob as can be relieved by tbeir giving what they have in their own home, and do not use, they will respond with the promptness and generosity tbey have heretofore exer-oised. We can use to good advantage any clothing, bats, capa and shoes that you may oboose to send. An overcoat for a boy about 15 years old is very much wanted, but if you have not �uob a one, ft need not prevent you from ending just euob as you have. What you can, send to the rooms of the W. C. T. U. over Hilton's drugstore, from 1 to 5 p. m., Tuesday afternoon, December 16th. SECRETARY W. C.T. U. JuDGB Woods' decision at Indianapolis that a bankrupt corporation cannot make its directors or executive officers preferred orsdltorp, strikes everybody as very sound sense as soon aa it is understood. Why sboalda't it strike Congress as v�ry sonud BSDse to pass the Bankruptcy bill and prevent aoy;bankrupt concern from cbeatiag anybody by preferring certain creditors? --, � - - . Thsre seems to be an inolioation at Wacbiogton to call a bait on farthtr peo- ioo ItgfsU&iOB for the present. District Altorney flraham, of I'blladtrlphia, Proceeds in the rroeecution of Work, SIcFarlane, PMtter and DunKaa-Thi Ffrit Xamed Arrested and Committed Iu Default or SSO.OOO Itaii. PuiLADEU'liiA, Dec. 12-Geo'-ge F. Work, who was the master mind of the Work-MacFarlaue-Pfeiffer-Dungan syndicate, whieh it is alleged wrecked the Bank of America and tbe American Life Insur-auce Company, was arrested on Thursday night on a warrant aworn out by District Attorney Qrabam, and at a hearing today, in default of $20,000 bail, was committed to'Moyamensing prison. The District Attorney a?8o swore out warrants for the arrest of Stato Sanator Jt,hn J. Mac-Fariane, Louis E. Pfeiffor and James S. Dungan, but Work was the only one that tbe constable could find. The warrant on which Work was arrtst-ed charges him with rehypothecating tbo stock, aad with couspiraoy to cheat and defraud tbe depositors and others interested in the Bunk of America. The warrant also charges bim with similar offences in connection with tbe American Life Insurance Company. THE QUARTETTS OE WRECKERS. Senator MacPArlane was President of tbe Amerioan Life Insurance Company, and Vice President of tbe Bank of America. Louis Pfoiffer was President of tbo bank and Vice President of tbe Insurance Company, and Duogao wa? cashier of tbo bank. Work held the position of assistant or advisor to ilacFarlane. Tbe peculiar and disastrous maihods of tho (itiartv-tEo reached a climax la&t spring, and when , tbey could no longer be concealed the bank suspended, and tbe losuranca Company assigned a few days later. Hundreds of people lost their all by the ruin of the two institutions, and when the full truth of the manner iu which the crash was brought about was learned, the greatest Indignation was expresfied again.s:, the officers of the companies. MacFailaue disappeared and has never returned. Pfeiffer and Dungan were arrested, charged with receiving deposits after rhay knew the bank was iosolveut, and an iudict-ment on that charge is still peuding against them. Sinoo that time an expert accountant baa been at work eiaminia;^ the books, and it was upon the discoveries made by him that the District Attorney issued warrants for the arrest of the quartette of bank wreckers. WHAT MR. GKAHAM SAY3. Id sppakiog of the matter to-night District Attorney Graham said that the losfins by tbe operations of tbe syndicate would amount to hundred of thousands of dollars, but the exact amount is not yet known. He �aid that W;)rk was undoubtedly the movingspiritof the wholescbems. As an iostanco of the tnsuner iu which the two concerns played iuto eiicb others hands, Graham said that the bank would pay ten $1,000 bonds for 55,000, and then would borrow the full amount of their par value from the insurance company. This operation could not be conducted in the name of Iho two companies, to one of the syndicate would borrow the money in his name. They hIko quoted Ihn bank as having declared dividends ou full paid in capital, and when it was iu nocon dition to do so, and by that means kRpt the stock at par when it was practic;U!y valueless, and realized on it. WOKK SAV3 HE IS ISNOCF.NT. George F. Work was seen after bin arrest, and said thut he was ioooocnt of the charges brought against bim. He said that be bad been interested iu the orgaui* zatlou of the bank, and in that way mec Senator MacFarlaue. Two years ago he withdrew from all connection with the bank, and only afterwards in the capacity o! an agent or trustee for Senator MacFarlaue. When asked what hb meant by an agent or trustee, he said that Senator MacFarlane bad made bim the agent for aevera! oompauies be was interested in. He was asked about the hypothecaliug of fiNjcJ:, and he said _that Senator M^cFar-tan�! mufct havo dune thijt. Altogether throughout the intervfdw Work �/jHnmed the position of a much injured and maligned man. brought a price which compares very fa-1 pT flCITirfl flip ^UV OPUnni 0 vorably with the cases we have mentioned. | OliUOlrHj UP IlUb ObllUULO "Years aco General Russell A. Alger, of Dc'troit, lately Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was a youngster without a cent and with but one suit of elotbes. He wanted to attend school and went to a physician who lived in the village to ask for a chance to work for his board. The doctor did not need tbo services of a boy, but be was so much impressed with young Algeria aameatness that be took him into his family circle and sent him through school. Alger did no work except to take oare of the doctor's horse and or>e cow. 'But time has wrought great changes. Alger is now a milllonaite, while bis bon-efaolor ia an old man in straightened 6nan-cial circumstances- One by one his children hare died, until he and hia old wife have beeu left alone. All offers of assist-aticc by Gaoeral Alger have been refused, for the old man is as proud as Lucifer himself. In consequence Alger has been forced to bestow hif charities in many little roundabout ways so that their source could not ba guessed. Recently be visited bis old friend, determined to compel bis acceptance of more substantial aid than he bad been receiving. " *Why, Alger, you don't, owe me anything,' the old man said, 'and I won't accept anything.' " 'But I owe my education to you.' ** 'Bosh ! You owe that to yourself.' " 'But I caused you trouble and expense, for which I want to repay you.' The trouble needn't trouble you, and there wasn'c much expense to speak of; iu fact, the only expeuss that you caused me, so far as I can recollect, is the loss of a cow. Do you know, Alger, wheu yo� camo to liVe with me I had the best cow in these parts, and that your awkwardness completely spoiled her? Well, it did. Within three weeks you had made bor so skittish that no one could go near her, and I had to soil her for beef. "Well, then, I owe you for that oow don't I? And I'm going to pay you for her and will add a little interest for the as9 of tba money for about forty years.' *'After a long course of argument tbe old gfiutlemaa finally consented, very reluctantly, to accept pay for hia cow. And the prica paid for that ordinary grade oow i.s sufficient to support bor former owner in fair circumstances during the remainder of hia lifetime. She was a very oxpensive oow." To be Married Soon. Mr. Ellsworth K. Gerhard, of Altoona, a locomotive engineer on the Penu'a railroad, will bo married fit Ilutitiugdon next Wednesday to a lady of that city. Rev. G. W.

He was in sight of his home when he thought he had lost one of his rubbers, and after going all the way back to the starting point he discovered that be bad placed butb rubbers on one foot. He related tbe oir. cnmstauM to hia wife but could not explain bow he managed to get two rubbers on on* foot. Jli*r� are no T�c�nt Rooms. Mr. C. R. Gearhart, the well known insurance man received a letter of inquiry yesterday from a gentleman io another county regarding a store room. The gentleman in question wanted to rent a store room and open a store io this city. It speaks well for the city however to be able to say that there are no vacant store rooms io Lock Haven, and few, if indeed any, vacant dwellinz houses.

DtiBLis, Dec. 13:-It coming to tbe knowledge of Mr. Leamy, who was appointed editor of United Ireland by Mr. Paroell, and other Parnellitos that an anti-Parnell edition of that paper would be Issued to-day from the office of the Nation (T. D. Sullivan's paper,) stops were taken to secure an injunction agaiutt the Aiifion's publisher. The Court granted the writ prayed for, restraining the publisher of tbe Nation frum issuing the edition in question. Notwithstanding tbe issuance of the writ, tbe forbidden edition made its appearance this morning. THE ANTJ PAKNELL EDITION. It oootaios an article written by Mr. Bodkin, who was acting editor of the paper during the absence in tbe United States of Editor William O'Brien, and ho was deposed from bis poaittou by Mr. I'arnell when be flrst seized the paper on Wednesday. Tho article is addressed in O'Brien's name to every true lover of Ireland the world over, and declares that tbe sole alternative now is Par-nell or Home Rule, and that Home Rule is impossible under Parnell's leadership. A Parnell edition of the paper was also issued from the regular office. No. 33 Lowell Abbey street. It quotes a legal opinion jubtiiying the seizure of the paper by Mr. Parnell. PAPERa THROWS IKTO THE KIVEK. A wagon loaded with copies of the anti-Paruell edition of Onited Inland was driven to the Kingsbridge Railway Station to-day, it being the iutsotion to load them on a train for distribatioo Io the south of Ireland. A� tbe wagon drew up at the station two men, one of whom bad bis face covered with a mask, and the other with a drawn revolver, sprang upon tbe vehicle and compelled tbe driver to proceed with his load to the Island Bridge. When they arrived upon the bridge the two men 0ung all the papers into the Liffey River. Ad attempt was made to seize a second wagon loaded with tbe papers which was standing at'tbe entrance to the depot,'and t would probably have proved anocesafal had not the police interferred to protect the driver. Under their guard the paper* were loaded upon the train. On the arrival of Parnell's United Ireland at Castle Island to-day, the crowd seized the papers and burned them. WILD ENTiroSIASH. CoKK, Dec. 12.-The scenes at Mr. Parnell's reception were similar to those Dublin. Tho streets Were thronged with people and the wildest enthusiasm manifested. The people unharnessed tbe horses from the omnibus in whieh Parnell rode and dragged it to the hotel. Notwithstanding the heavy rain the route was lined with cheering spectators, who stood eight deepen either side. Eandreda of torches lighted op the ranks of the paraders, who marched to tbe patriotio airs of a dozen bands. Mr, Parnell is uncertain whether to remain in Cork or go to Kilkenny to morrow, bat intends the campaign to be a sharp one. At one time during tbe disturbance at Mallow yesterday the mob seemed about to accomplish their purpose by forcing their way into the ijarriage occupied by Mr. Parnell,, wht> tore down a bat-rack from the sidi oflthe^oarriage and prepared to defend himself. Mallow is the birthplace of Mr. O'Brien. Mr. Parnell was received with enthusiasm at Tborles, the seat of Archbishop Cryker where doubts were entertained as to tho character of the reception he would meet with. Teachers' Institote.

What Does That Sign Say? Cop Asks
Police officers descended on the rock jetty on Beach 87 Street last Sunday and issued summonses to four fishermen who ignored the large, red and white sign the officer seen here is pointing to. Past rescues involving people who have become trapped or have slipped off of local rock jetties have sparked enormous land, sea and air responses by first responders.

Adapted for Hiba Magazine by Tasneem Vali
"And by the Mercy of Allâh, You dealt with them gently. And had You been Severe and harshhearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allâh's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them In the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust In Allâh, Certainly, Allâh loves those who put their trust (in Him)." (Al-Imran 159)
This Ayat ends with a profound statement, "Certainly, Allâh loves those who put their trust (in Him)." Think! To be one of the Mutawakkileen, what is it that we must do? Let's analyze what this Ayat tells us.
This Ayat revealed after the Battle of Uhud; where the Muslims were defeated by the Quraish due to disobedience by some in the Muslim ranks of the Prophet's (sa) explicit orders; assesses the Prophet's (sa) reaction (the situation and his personality).
Allah (swt) says that He bestowed upon the Prophet (sa) a special mercy and because of it, he dealt with the disobedient Muslims mildly.
The Ayat goes on to explain, that if the Prophet (sa) had dealt with the disobedient Muslims harshly, a distance between him and the companions would develop; but due to Allah's Mercy, the companions were always surrounding the Prophet. So Allah explains how the situation could have turned disastrous had he (sa) been harsh and hard hearted. Allah is reminding Prophet Muhammad (sa) and through him we are also given advice, that even during the most distressing times we need to be kind and gentle
So, how should they be dealt with? Allah guides the Prophet (sa):
- you need to pardon them
- seek forgiveness for them (make Dua for them)
- consult them (in matters concerning the Ummah)
We are all human, and prone to err. The treatment Allah has ordained gives the wrongdoer consolation; they were feeling bad, so this reaction gave them comfort. Finally, after following Allah's commands, then trust/rely on Allah, and leave it at that.
Signs of Mutawakkileen (those who trust Allah):
- Fears none but Allah, upholds the truth even in presence of those who are feared, by relying on Allah.
- Never worries because of confidence in Allah (in His hands is khayr) – heart is tranquil despite chaos around.
- Does not become disturbed or does not panic in any situation as only Allah is the Disposer of all our affairs.
Benefits of being one of the Mutawakkileen (those who rely on Allah):
- It completes one's Iman (faith), so one's heart is full of peace and contentment.
- Knowing that the Most Powerful entity in the universe is your ally, you surrender to Allah's will.
Trusting Allah with the conviction that what He does is the best even if it is the opposite of what is expected, this person is content with Allah's decree, knowing Allah is all Knowledgeable. He knows this in his heart and exhibits this through his actions, following the Prophet's example as demonstrated in the Ayat we discussed above.
In Surah Al-Waqiah, Allah raises the status of the Mutawakkileen, they are the foremost in everything Allah has commanded us to do, and hence they are the closest to Allah.
To be one of the Mutawakkileen on Allah you must have trust (Tawakkal) in Allah. You could go through the motions of following Allah's commands, but until our heart truly accepts Allah's decree you will not have Tawakkal. It is like taking medicine for an ailment but not trusting that this medicine will help you. Only when you make an effort to know Allah will Tawakkal enter your heart.
When is Tawakkal useful?
- To be steadfast in Deen
- For Dawah (to spread the message of Islam)
- To fulfil the pillars of faith / Islam
- To be obedient to Allah – follow all the commands
- Not to be a problem/trial for others
- Protection from all kinds of enemies (enemies can be hidden/apparent – Jinn, humans, Satan, disbelievers – plotting against you)
- To relegate issues between people, trust Allah to judge between them.
- Trust Allah in His Judgment.
"…and whosoever puts his trust in Allâh, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allâh will accomplish His purpose. Indeed Allâh has set a measure for all things."(At-Talaq 3)
Here Allah mentions the Mutawakkileen again in a different way, those who have trust in Allah, Allah Himself will be sufficient for that person! Not only do we trust Allah in specific situations, but every time.
"…so whatever you have been given is but a passing enjoyment for this worldly life, but that which is with Allâh (Paradise) is better and more lasting for those who believe (in the Oneness of AllâhIslâmic Monotheism) and put their trust in their Lord (concerning All of their affairs)." (Ash-Shuraa 36)
So, the reward that Allah promised the Mutawakkileen is an everlasting one – a special place in Paradise. As your trust in Allah increases, your faith will increase and as a result your dependence on alternate means will decrease (in your heart you will begin to rely on Allah alone). May Allah makes us all one of the Mutawakkileen. Ameen.

Except Tutankamun's tomb, which cost's an extra four (english) pounds to go in. (for me. 8 pounds for 'normies'. I had been warned in Dahab that visiting the monuments is a lot cheaper if you have an ISIC card, and that you could get one of these from a shop in Luxor. So, for probably the last time, my out-of-date student card was put to good use, getting me an in-date highly fraudulant ISIC card.) Tut's tomb is rubbish, since it's only little, not very decorated and all the sparkly stuff is in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
Guidebooks, I have decided, are a two edged sword. They do contain some useful or interesting cultural and historical information, some maps which are better than nothing (though some are worse than useless), some information on the main tourist attractions and some worthwhile hotels. However, as Science has proven, you can't observe a thing without affecting the thing you're observing. Thus, places which a guidebook describes as 'blissfully isolated and peaceful' may be crowded with people clutching the guide. Meanwhile, places 'heaving with crowds, best avoided', may have become pleasantly devoid of tourists. This is not always true, of course, but it happens. And where it happens most is in cheap hotels. Expensive hotels have 'standards'. Thats why they're expensive, so a good review is less damaging. Cheap hotels, on the other hand, are wont to let praise such as 'clean rooms, friendly atmosphere' go to their heads, and in no time the rooms are dirty and the atmosphere is one of ill-founded smug superiority. Alternatively, they may get delusions of grandeur and simply double their prices. Or both.
So, I landed at the highly praised 'Happyland Hostel' in Luxor, only to find that a single non-suite room was more than a double en-suite in a proper(ish) hotel in Aswan
-It's late. You're not going to fill the room today. What's your best price?
-(smugly superior) we are in the Rough Guide and the Lonely Planet. There is one more train from Aswan today. And one from Cairo...
In the end I compromised, staying at Happyland one night, and spending that evening looking for somewhere to spend the rest of the week. This trail led me eventually to the Sherif Hotel, one block away from Happyland. Also in the guide, I later found, but further down the listings and receiving less effusive recommendation, they were offering rooms much the same as Happyland, at one third the price. I booked myself in for the next morning. The evening was passed socialising on their roof, which was partially covered, carpeted and strewn with cushions for the purpose. They also had a stereo playing either Egyptian music or Bob Marley.
My companions for the evening where a group of 'overlanders', who had paid thousands of pounds to travel from Cairo to Capetown overland
When I presented myself at the Sherif hotel the next morning, it transpired that my booking had been forgotten and my room let to a friendly imposter called Barry. To mitigate their treachery, they offered to let me sleep on the roof for free. After the first night of cool, fresh air on a comfortable mattress of cushions, I arranged to stay there for the rest of the week, promising to buy beer and breakfast to make it worth their while.
The week was spent seeing the sights and relaxing, chatting mainly either with Barry or a Swiss cyclist heading for Sudan, who had ridden from Hurghada to Qena and then up to Luxor. Thus I descovered that one can, in fact, ride from Hurghada to Luxor, contrary to what I'd been told, and that I would be able to ride to Qena when I left. All good news. So it was with high hopes that I finally set off from Luxor, passing the preliminary police checkpoints without attracting so much as a second glance, and got back on the main road to Cairo
-Where are you from?
-Where are you going?
-You must go with convoy.
-I couldn't keep up...
-You can't cycle this road. You must go back.
-I can cycle this road! A friend of mine did it two days ago!
The conversation carried on in this vein for a little while, but it quickly became clear that he was having none of it. Apparantly the only person who could give me permission was 'the general' so there was nothing for it but to go back and find him. Eventually I located him, at the convoy muster point, sitting in a chair looking away from me down the street and flanked by two deputies. One of these answered my greeting and conducted all further conversation. The general never once even turning to look at me. The upshot of the conversation was that there wasn't a cat in hell's chance of me being allowed to ride to Qena, despite my logical arguments and protestations, but that the cops would give me a lift so I wouldn't have to pay for the inconvenience
Unfortunately, nothing is ever as simple as it seems. When I returned to the convoy the cop I'd spoken to was nowhere to be found, so I had to go through the whole discussion again. This time I was told the bike can go in the police car, but I will have to ride in a taxi, but don't worry, the taxi's going anyway so you don't have to pay. This arrangement held for about 2 minutes, before another policeman said the bike couldn't go in the policecar, and would have to go on the roofrack of a different taxi. (Why it couldn't go on the taxi taking me was never satisfactorily explained). So, in this way, the convoy finally got underway.
It's unclear why the drivers in the convoy felt the need to race, since none of them could pass the policecar at the front, but race they did. Most of the journey was spent driving the 'corronors corridor' playing chicken with oncoming traffic. The only conversation was the driver continually asking for 'baksheesh' now the cops weren't around. When we arrived I gave him a few pounds, the conventional level of baksheesh, and went to get my bike. Meanwhile, the driver of the other taxi asked his friend what I'd given him before marching threateningly up to me demanding
-Ten English pounds
He's right, of course, but my riches have to get me a long way and I didn't feel disposed to donate them to an aggressive taxi driver for a free ride I didn't want for which he'd already received a full fare and tip. I explained this as succinctly as I could:
-No chance.
Luckily the tourist police wandered over before the discussion could grow too heated. (god bless 'em, and the way their arbritariness, corruption and possibly even brutality put the fear of god into any unfortunate native who upsets a tourist). The driver backed down, but one of the Europeans in his car did not share his qualms. Before we even set off this guy had been complaining about carrying the bike and muttering
-you should have known!
I didn't take the time to enquire how exactly I should have known that this stretch of tarmac can be cycled from north to south but not the reverse, and what I should have done about it apart from what I did. But seeing me about to escape the fleecing I so sorely deserved was the last straw for him. he suddenly became irate, screaming
-I hope you die
as the taxi pulled away. Nice man.
Back on the bike I rode the 10km to Dendara, the site of another impressive temple, but could only spend 15mins looking around. This was partly because the place was closing soon, and partly because I didn't want to run into that man again.
Finally I made it to a hotel in Qena and headed out in search of food. As I was leaving the hotel manager warned me
-be careful, it's dangerous
Since he volunteered no further information, such as particular areas to avoid, and since I was hungry, I decided to take my chances. It turned out he was right though.
About 100m from the hotel I heard the buzz of a scooter racing down the road towards me. I turned to look in time to see the helmetless juvenile rider swerve to avoid an oncoming minibus (he was speeding down the wrong side of the road) only to ride headlong into a second bus (overtaking the first). The bike burst into splinters while the rider flew onto the windscreen, bouncing fully 2 metres back onto the tarmac. For a moment I was sure he was dead, but he sat up, ashen faced and disorientated but clearly not dead. In moments a crowd had gathered around him and while I was reaching for my mobile phone to call an ambulance one appeared. He was fireman-carried into the ambulance and whisked away. Within two minutes the scene was calm again, scattered scooter shrapnel the only lingering evidence of the violence, apart from my racing pulse and dry mouth. My prefered response to shock, as to most other stimuli, is to eat food and drink water, so I continued my search for dinner.

Stella Bowen : Art, Love and War
- Periods:
- To England
- An artist's journey
- Inner worlds
- The return to England
- The war years
Period: The war years
Stella Bowen's love of painting interiors was called upon during her official war art commission. But these were now public rather than domestic scenes. The Churchill Club was one of dozens of clubs in London where servicemen and women could spend their recreation leave. Here they could have a cup of tea, write a letter home, and get a meal or a bed for the night. Bowen visited these clubs to record the activities of Australian airmen and ex-prisoners of war.
Bowen shows us an officer in a quiet moment, perhaps tracing the course of the war on the globe, or perhaps, like her, just thinking of home. A glimpse through to the garden suggests the universal need for a peaceful home, as much as for a peaceful world. In reality, these two worlds compete for our attention, but the painting shows them as they truly are, inseparable.

General Information
What differentiates solar glass from architectural glass (window glass):
Solar glass is generally produced from the same raw materials as architectural glass, however there are significant differences:
The raw materials for solar glass have to be free from colouring oxides. In particular, iron oxide should only be present in very low concentrations. Iron oxide give glass a green taint and absorbs energy which is then no longer available for conversion into electrical or thermal energy.
The composition of the glass has to be carefully chosen so that long term durability (> 25 years), without changes in the optical and technical characteristics, can be guaranteed. An unsuitable glass composition could, in challenging circumstances (such as high humidity and high local temperature) lead to corrosion of the glass in a short time and hence lead to a reduction in transmission.
In order to guarantee the long term strength (flexural strength, resistance to hailstorms) the edge working needs to be of the highest quality and the glass has to undergo a special heat treatment (tempering process, "strengthening process").
The edge working is of significantly more importance than is generally thought of in the industry: the standard configuration of the grinded glass edges of each GMB solar glass is optimised for this reason. The particular form of the C-edge plays a significant contribution to installation in PV modules and thermal collectors.
Structured glass – flat glass
Flat glass is usually produced by means of the float process (so-called float glass). After the smelting process, the glass "swims" of molten tin and so creates the flat and hence reflecting surface. The tin bath, which is so to speak the "forming of the surface" in the float process, requires large amounts of electrical energy.
Structured glass is usually produced using two forming smelters in a rolling process (so-called rolled glass). Hereby the top or bottom cylinder can have different surfaces. The rolling process requires a mere fraction of the amount of energy which is needed for the float process.
The rolling process was used in the past for the production of ornamental glass, hence for the manufacture of decorative glass for architectural use. A modern solar glass factory has, however, nothing to do with the classical production of ornamental glass.
The structures of GMB solar glass (SINA, CONE, ASTRA) have been designed for different applications and optimised respectively as such (see product presentation)
The concentrated dazzling is significantly reduced in comparison to flat glass (float glass). The reflection of structured surfaces leads to reflection patterns of various forms. In the case of smooth surfaces the reflection of an individual module or collector is concentrated on a narrow area (sketch). Structured glass is usually referred to as "dazzle-free" glass.
Solar glass for photovoltaic modules Solar glass for thermal collectors

The Center for the Arts presents
November 13 through December 15
Artist Reception Sunday, November 18th 2:00-4:00
John Michael Keating – Artist Statement:
The images in my painting come from two worlds: the life we experience when we are awake and the dream world we enter when we sleep. I'm interested in what happens when those worlds flow into each other.
In the world of wakefulness, I'm attracted by shadows and deserted streets, by old buildings on the edge of ruin, by night and rain and dust, and by things that are hidden.
The realm of sleep is a world of masks, of walls that evaporate and ancient towers in moonlight, of trees that change into stairwells and rooms that become forests.
Most of the time I'm not interested in distinguishing between one world and the other.

Ikea: Swedish for "loud banging and tears."
Police called to domestic disturbance find young couple building Ikea furniture
Police in western Sweden were called to an apartment after neighbours complained of hearing loud banging and crying in the early hours of the morning.
When they arrived, the detectives discovered the young couple was just trying to assemble flatpack furniture they'd bought from Ikea.
It wasn't just the Allen key causing all the misery --- the pair had a newborn baby who was doing most of the screaming, The Local reports, via Sweden's Expressen newspaper.
The child was apparently awoken by the banging being made as its parents assembled their furniture.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the meanest "Real Housewives of Atlanta" mama of them all? Here's a hint: It ain't Leneathia Leakes.
Mama Joyce continues her reign of terror in the latest episode of RHOA when Kandi invites her over for dinner to hash things out with Todd, her fiance. Showing buckets of patience and kindness, Todd swallows Mama Joyce's insults and jabs with a gentleman's kindness. Kandi on the other hand, fails to check her mother and lets her run roughshod over her loved ones.
At some point, will the real Kandi please stand up?
Meanwhile, NeNe has to deal with hanging out in Atlanta some more as her so-called Hollywood life is put on hold. "Glee" is postponed due to Cory Monteith's death and her show, "The New Normal" got cancelled so RHOA is all she's got. That leads the producers to send NeNe on a trip to the grocery store with Cynthia where the two gossip about Cynthia's daughter having a boyfriend.
Last season NeNe was strolling around Hollywood Hills and now she's strolling around the aisles of Whole Food. Ain't it funny how the table turns?
As for the other ladies, Phaedra heads to Alabama for a study group with her mortician pals; Porsha goes apartment hunting and Kenya moves into her new residence.

Vivid Studio Insider For June 15, 2012
XCRITIC HIGHLY RECOMMENDS SWINGING AMERICAN STYLE – Xcritic reviewer Apache Warrior gave Phil Varone's Swinging American Style a Highly Recommended review. He writes that in the "film and the first installment to this running series by Phil Varone and Vivid Entertainment… the rock star has invited several of his swinger friends over for a sexual game of poker. So, the stakes are high, but mighty pleasurable. Mr. Varone decided to create this series because he wanted the swinging lifestyle…to show the viewer what really happens when a swinger's party occurs." He quotes Varone as saying, "I love the non porn look of it. I think porn gets too polished and boring and I just wanted to make something that looks like it would if you filmed your own video at home." Apache Warrior says he "loved this film. There is plenty of c*cksucking and f*cking action throughout this production. Just when you think this movie is over, there is still more hot sexual action left. Phil Varone is a sex machine and his female friends are super hot. I want to see more of them in this series. Thank you Phil for a view of this lifestyle." Swinging American Style has also attracted attention abroad. Ravers, the popular U.K. magazine, have scheduled an interview with Varone for an upcoming issue."
MORE BUZZ FOR DARK KNIGHTXXX – The trailer for Axel Braun's latest parody, Dark KnightXXX: A Porn Parody continues to generate excitement and interest. GuyIsm.com—What Guys Need says, "Christopher Nolan wishes he could make a trailer this good. Axel Braun has become one of the most successful directors in the smut industry on the backs of his superhero parodies. Now he's taking on his most ambitious flick yet, an adult version of the Batman trilogy. The trailer just dropped, and while there's no hardcore in it – or even a wink of a nipple – it's still a trailer for a porn flick, so decide if you want to watch it in front of your girlfriend. I guess it depends on how cool she is." And Movieweb urges its readers to "Check it out, and then be sure to pick up your own copy when The Dark Knight XXX: A Porn Parody hits your favorite adult book store on July 20th." Even the snarky site Worst Previews has something good to say about the trailer: "While it doesn't really matter what the story is about, looking at the footage and the photos, it's clear that some effort went into making Bane and the Joker look similar to how they look in Christopher Nolan's films."
CHYNA AS DJ CONTINUES TO FASCINATE – The mainstream blogosphere and gossip sites are intrigued by the stint Chyna did as a DJ at Rick's Cabaret during a New York City visit recently. EMMReport.com devoted a full page of its site to photos of Chyna in the DJ booth. EMMReport said her mentor for the evening was DJ Page, quoting him as saying: "You've got to keep the energy level high–there are 100 Rick's Girls that are taking off their clothes to the music. It needs to be on point, and Chyna does have a good feel for the vibe. Chyna is very talented, she knows her music, and with a little work, she could become a top DJ," DJ Page predicted." And Examiner.com reported: Howard Stern Show pal Chyna flexed her spinning and scratching muscles this weekend, taking a shift at the DJ booth at Rick's Cabaret NYC. The former WWE wrestler is becoming a regular in the adult entertainment world. Last year, she released her first porn flick Backdoor to Chyna, which she promoted during one of 2011's most disturbing/hilarious Howard Stern Show interviews."Most recently Chyna plays the role of She-Hulk in Vivid's current AvengersXXX: A Porn Parody.

In his predictions for 2011, Jack Van Impe says that Harold Camping's May 21, 2011, prediction is wrong. His wife Rexella agreed, adding that no man can know when Jesus is coming back. They both think that Jesus is coming soon, however, because of the fulfillment of all sorts of "signs" that they interpret the Bible to have predicted.
The Van Impes tend to be dramatic with their end of the world prophesies, focusing on "the New World Order." Jack Van Impe, dubbed "the Walking Bible" because he has memorized so many verses, is known for his eschatological commentary on the news of the week through his interpretation of the Bible.
In the first of the following three videos, the Van Impes talked about a possible terror attack in 2011. In the second video, they discussed $5 per gallon gasoline and an impending economic collapse. In the third segment, they discussed microchips being implanted into people, which they say is the Mark of the Beast.
Starting at 2:30 in the third video, the two addressed Harold Camping of Family Radio's May 21, 2011, end of the world prophesy. Jack Van Impe said that Camping is misleading people because he tells them not to go to church. Van Impe also said that the world will never end.
Van Impe says that he will address Camping's theology more extensively two weeks from now.

The straightforward narrative is that Bo Xilai, the brash and charismatic rising star of China's Communist Party, was felled by a scandal that only the country's central leadership knows the extent and substance of. His political fate was sealed last month when his former right-hand man briefly took refuge inside a U.S. Consulate and passed unknown information to the diplomats stationed there.
The rest of the story behind the biggest political scandal in China since party secretary Zhao Ziyang was ousted amid the turmoil of 1989 is that there are few within the Communist Party hierarchy today who are sad to see Mr. Bo fall. The party boss of the southwestern city of Chongqing was one of them, but he was also a challenger to the status quo, a charismatic populist who tried to shake up the staid world of Chinese politics. On Thursday, the status quo prevailed.
In the case of Mr. Bo – a demagogue willing to put shine to Mao Zedong's sinister legacy if it helped him advance – that's not a bad thing. But part of the reason he fell so fast and so hard was that he openly advocated some kind of change, which made his public posturing seem like a fresh breeze even as he spoke nostalgically of China's dark past.
Mr. Bo was the first Communist Party politician to openly campaign for higher office (he craved a post on the all-powerful Standing Committee of the Politburo, an aspiration that now seems dead) and he was the first to use the Internet, as well as his tight control over the Chongqing media, to lay out his platform for all Chinese citizens to see. His popularity was believed to have put him on track to achieve his dream of reaching the Politburo.
Widely seen as having secured a place in the next generation of Chinese leaders, Prime Minister Stephen Harper went out of his way to meet Mr. Bo on his recent trip to China.
Mr. Bo impressed many with his aggressive and largely successful campaign to smash Chongqing's powerful mafia triads, even as he alarmed those concerned with the finer points of legal due process. He won over some and worried others with his embrace of "red culture" – encouraging the singing of songs from the Cultural Revolution and sending mass text messages of his favourite Mao Zedong quotes. He dispatched his bureaucrats to spend time living in the countryside, and proposed measures to break down the country's urban-rural divide.
Fondly recalling the days of Mao was not the only taboo Mr. Bo broke. He also indirectly criticized the leadership of President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao by highlighting the enormous and growing wealth gap in this still nominally socialist state. Though seen as a protégé of former president Jiang Zemin, Mr. Bo was also developing his own support base, also anathema to China's tightly controlled political scene. Ask a taxi driver in another part of China to name a provincial party boss, and Mr. Bo's name was likely to jump first to their lips.
Mr. Bo became a controversial figure in China less because of his policies – which have the support of a hardline faction within the Communist Party – than his style of politics. The Communist Party leadership is a clutch of anonymous-looking technocrats who pride themselves on taking decisions collectively. Mr. Bo was flamboyant and unpredictable.
He was brash because he could be. As the son of Bo Yibo, one of the "eight immortals" of the 1949 Communist Revolution, Mr. Bo was considered a "princeling" of the Communist Party, possessing such impeccable credentials that even accusations of covering up official corruption in a previous posting as governor of the northeastern province of Liaoning slowed, but didn't halt, his rise.
But all these transgressions – plus his police chief's dramatic visit to the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu and subsequent arrest – finally brought Mr. Bo's ascent through the Communist Party ranks to a dramatic end Thursday, when the 62-year-old was very publicly fired from his post as Party Secretary for the southwestern city of Chongqing.
Even the way Mr. Bo's career in the party ended broke the existing mould. As his political horizons darkened, Mr. Bo refused to quietly resign, as almost any other Communist leader would have done in the same situation. He travelled instead to Beijing, took his seat at the annual session of the National People's Congress, and even gave a defiant press conference defending his reputation and his record in Chongqing.
Heightening the confrontation, he again criticized the country's economic accomplishments, and thus the country's leadership. "As Chairman Mao said as he was building the nation, the goal of our building a socialist society is to make sure everyone has a job to do and food to eat, that everybody is wealthy together," he told reporters last week during the NPC meeting. "If only a few people are rich, then we've slid into capitalism. We've failed." He revealed that the country's Gini coefficient, a measure of social inequality that Beijing regards as a secret, had risen to an alarming 0.46.
Someone was going to lose face. Mr. Wen made clear on Wednesday that it would not be the central leadership. Less than 24 hours before Mr. Bo's ouster was made official, the mild-mannered premier warned that Chongqing's leaders needed to "seriously reflect" on their actions. "The results of what we have achieved may be lost. A historical tragedy like the Cultural Revolution could be repeated. Each party member and cadre should feel a sense of urgency," Mr. Wen said.
"[Mr. Bo]tried to go high-profile, which is actually striking back. It was definitely not going to work, because it just forced the people who oppose him to beat him down," said Zhang Ming, a professor of political science at Renmin University in Beijing. "If he had resigned earlier, his situation might have been better than it is now."
What happens next is far from clear. Some see a victory for the party's reformist wing – of which Mr. Wen is the retiring figurehead – over a hardline conservative wing that Mr. Bo's Chongqing campaigns seemed designed to win the support of. But the naming of Zhang Dejiang, another member of Mr. Jiang's faction and the owner of a degree in economics from Kim Il-sun University in North Korea, smells instead of a classic Communist Party compromise, maintaining the delicate balance between the two factions that Mr. Bo had threatened to upset.
None of which addresses the issues that Mr. Bo's popularity made plain. "The [Communist Party]top leadership will have to debate not only about Bo's personal future, but more importantly, how some of the tough issues facing every city in China can be managed with a new set of measures, if Bo's are no longer acceptable," said Jiang Wenran, a senior fellow at the Asia-Pacific Foundation of Canada.
Many will look to see what Mr. Bo – who remained silent following his dismissal Thursday – does now. Does he accept his punishment and retire from politics? Does he go abroad, where he has a vast network of friends from his time as the country's Commerce Minister? Or does he dig in and try to somehow fight the system, turning to those who still view him as a hero for his efforts to smash the Chongqing mafia and who admire his rhetoric about social inequality? Given the strength of his enemies, and the swirling allegations of corruption, he could face prosecution if he does.
It's likely that the leadership handover that begins this fall will continue as planned, only with another Jiang protégé taking the spot once believed reserved for Mr. Bo on the nine-person Standing Committee.
Mr. Bo's campaign for higher office shed rare light on the divisions inside the higher echelon of the Communist Party. Now, the leadership appears to have once more closed ranks. The brash princeling – who two months seemed destined to join the upper leadership – has been cast out.Report Typo/Error

The following adverse reactions are listed in decreasing order of severity, without regard to causality, within each body system category and have been reported during clinical trials, with use of the marketed vaccine, or with use of polyvalent vaccine containing rubella:
Body as a Whole
Fever; syncope; headache; dizziness; malaise; irritability.
Cardiovascular System
Digestive System
Hemic and Lymphatic System
Thrombocytopenia (see WARNINGS, Thrombocytopenia); purpura; regional lymphadenopathy; leukocytosis.
Immune System
Anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions have been reported as well as related phenomena such as angioneurotic edema (including peripheral or facial edema) and bronchial spasm in individuals with or without an allergic history.
Musculoskeletal System
Arthritis; arthralgia; myalgia.
Chronic arthritis has been associated with natural rubella infection and has been related to persistent virus and/or viral antigen isolated from body tissues. Only rarely have vaccine recipients developed chronic joint symptoms.
Following vaccination in children, reactions in joints are uncommon and generally of brief duration. In women, incidence rates for arthritis and arthralgia are generally higher than those seen in children (children: 0-3%; women: 12-26%)7,36,37 and the reactions tend to be more marked and of longer duration. Symptoms may persist for a matter of months or on rare occasions for years. In adolescent girls, the reactions appear to be intermediate in incidence between those seen in children and in adult women. Even in women older than 35 years, these reactions are generally well tolerated and rarely interfere with normal activities. Myalgia and paresthesia have been reported rarely after administration of MERUVAX (rubella virus vaccine live) II.
Nervous System
Encephalitis; Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS); polyneuritis; polyneuropathy; paresthesia.
Respiratory System
Stevens-Johnson syndrome; erythema multiforme; urticaria; rash; pruritis
Local reactions including burning/stinging at injection site; wheal and flare; redness (erythema); pain; induration.
Special Senses — Ear
Nerve deafness; otitis media.
Special Senses — Eye
Optic neuritis; papillitis; retrobulbar neuritis; conjunctivitis.
Death from various, and in some cases unknown, causes has been reported rarely following vaccination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines; however, a causal relationship has not been established. No deaths or permanent sequelae were reported in a published post-marketing surveillance study in Finland involving 1.5 million children and adults who were vaccinated with M-M-R II during 1982-1993.38
Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, health-care providers and manufacturers are required to record and report certain suspected adverse events occurring within specific time periods after vaccination. However, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has established a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) which will accept all reports of suspected events.31 A VAERS report form as well as information regarding reporting requirements can be obtained by calling VAERS 1-800-822-7967. 31. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System — United States, MMWR 39(41): 730-733, October 19, 1990.
Read the Meruvax (rubella virus vaccine live) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Immunosuppressive Therapy
The immune status of patients about to undergo immunosuppressive therapy should be evaluated so that the physician can consider whether vaccination prior to the initiation of treatment is indicated (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and PRECAUTIONS).
The ACIP has stated that "patients with leukemia in remission who have not received chemotherapy for at least 3 months may receive live-virus vaccines. Short-term ( < 2 weeks), low- to moderate-dose systemic corticosteroid therapy, topical steroid therapy (e.g., nasal, skin), long-term alternate-day treatment with low to moderate doses of short-acting systemic steroid, and intra-articular, bursal, or tendon injection of corticosteroids are not immunosuppressive in their usual doses and do not contraindicate the administration of rubella vaccine."22
Immune Globulin
Administration of immune globulins concurrently with MERUVAX (rubella virus vaccine live) II may interfere with the expected immune response.22,30

text: Hello APUG This is a FYI annoucement and hope to have some feed back as to what to do. Our last UPS and FEDX bills have 20% fuel surcharges for all air shipments and 6.25% fuel surcharges for all ground shipments. These are applied to the entire bill not just the shipping charge but also applied to the residential surcharge of $1.95, and the rural surcharge of $.80. We have been absorbing these surcharges for years but now we are actually paying to ship product. These companies are sucking so much cash out of the economy it is unreal. Probably good stock to own because of the surcharges they don't care where fuel costs go, it is just added on and little companies like us just have to eat it. Our only option is to again raise our shipping charges, or add a surcharge as they do. We also pay a 20 to 25% fuel surcharge to all trucking companies on our incoming freight. That is 25% of the freight bill not just an additional fuel charge. I don't mean to whine or complain just letting everyone know that we have a problem here and to expect an immediate increase in costs somehow. I would like feed back if there is any. This is a national problem with these fuel costs. Every company in the nation is feeling the same pinch I am trying to explain here. Everything you buy and I do mean everything has to increase in price because of this. I try to never get into a political discussion but somewhere somehow, someone has got to start doing something about this. ANY IDEAS Thanks for letting me vent Bud Wilson

Is your business suitable to expand successfully through franchising?
Do you own a business that could be suitable for franchising? Consider if your business exhibits the foundation stones to form the basis of a successful franchise
Historical Trading Performance
Franchising is about replicating a financial model that has already been achieved, so it is imperative that there be sufficient trading to give realism to any financial projections.
A Proven System
Good franchising requires the franchisor to have gone through the learning curve, identified the pitfalls and found appropriate solutions, the franchisee can then be shown a business model that works. The franchisee should be replicating a tried and tested business system, rather than experimenting with new ideas.
Strong branding is fundamental. People want to invest with a sense of pride in a business that portrays a strong corporate identity and has a brand suitable for national or international recognition. If the trade name has been formulated around a local region and is unsuitable to travel nationally, it is best to formulate a new brand before franchising is undertaken. The brand should be simple and shout out the message of clarity, professionalism and quality.
Corporate Image
The corporate image of a business is portrayed through external signage, a protected brand, corporate colours, vehicle livery, corporate dress, website design, promotional material, own label products, stationery and head office presentation. Quality franchisees are attracted to a business that has a strong corporate identity that they would feel proud to belong to. It is important to develop strength of corporate image throughout all aspects of the operation.
Professionalism is manifested in how the telephone is answered, the quality of service provided, the clarity of written communication, the nature of the head office meeting room, the attention given to detail, a clear code of values and evidence of satisfied clients. Franchisees will be attracted by a professional approach to recruitment which involves the right body language, meeting room atmosphere, wall hangings and the approach to franchisees. That which portrays a lack of true professionalism can be a 'switch off' to the right people.
Products/Services With Good Staying Power
Franchisees do not wish to invest for the long term in a business that has a product or service which may be fashionable or become obsolete over time. Confidence is inspired by that which demonstrates longevity in the marketplace. Discerning prospective franchisees will be looking for product and service deliverables that are required in a depressed market. They can then be confident of a continuing market need through varied economic conditions.
Sufficient Profit Margin
Franchising is not suited to low margin/services - there must be sufficient margin to sustain continued business growth and development, while also enabling both the franchisor and the franchisee to enjoy a reasonable return. The franchisor must receive a profit margin sufficient to provide good back-up and support, and maintain a healthy research and development programme. The franchisee must have sufficient margin to build a rewarding business given their commitment and dedication to replicating the proven system. It is important that any mark up on product supply or management service fee provides a win:win situation that enables the franchisee and the franchisor to succeed together.
Management Attitude
The attitude of management towards franchising is key to success in franchising. Franchisees are not employees, they are self-employed business owners who must be treated as equals. While the franchisor needs to lead with authority, franchisees should be given the opportunity to have their ideas and suggestions heard and discussed. The franchisor's objective is to build a successful business through the successful development of its franchisees.
Expand your business Through Franchising
If you're based in the South of England and looking to achieve success through franchising, contact Gordon Patterson and Gary Rigby at FDS (Southern) for an exploratory discussion.
Having been advertising for many years I was pleased to see that The Franchise Magazine has not lost any of its success in recruiting quality franchisees in my new and exciting franchise, Caremark. I am appointing more franchisees now than I was with my previous company. I can highly recommend the publication and indeed the services of FDS (Southern) as consultant.

Since we last wrote we attended Monk Chat and payed alms to the Monks, Participated in the annual Loy Kruthong festival, went to the Chiang Mai Cultural Center and went up a mountain to the Doi Sethep temple on motorbike.
Monk Chat was a very interesting experience where the temple staff invite foreigners to come and meet with Monks and talk about anything that we want and can communicate to them with their limited english and our limited Thai
Tonite we participated in the Loy Kruthong festival which is a festival that is said to cleanse them of their sins and free them of their burdens by 'floating' them away. People make a Krothong which is a boat made from a banana tree base and banana tree leaves and inside there are candles, flowers, incense and a coin. Everyone lights the candles and incense and says a prayer and sends them down the river....If it sinks you are in DEEP DOO-DOO karmically and if it floats, all is well and you can feel cleansed... We made our own Krothong and floated it. It was neat to see the whole river lit with candles and all of the krothongs floating by... Fireworks are everywhere so there was also tons of these at the river. We also witnessed free Thai boxing as part of the festival. They do wear gloves but bare feet and legs are used as needed....Looked really brutal to me but the Thai's and Farangs were really excited about it...
This morning we got brave and rented a small motorbike to take out of the city and up a mountain to see a temple called Doi Suthep
We experienced the way-too-touristy-and-way-too-expensive, Cultural Center this week as well. We all sat on the floor with the triangle shaped Thai cushions and enjoyed a great meal. That was followed by traditional hilltribe dances that were very funny. We were expecting elaborate dances like the ones we have experienced already and instead these little hilltribe women just kind of chuckled to eachother while walking around in a circle holding hands...then the song would end and they would leave...very cute.
Ok I think I have blabbed on long enough, hope I have not bored you all to tears! We are not sure of computer accessability in Laos or Cambodia, but Vietnam should be fine. So keep writing us and we will respond when we can. Miss you all, much love to you, J&A.
