The family and community feel of rural town New Zealand was unmistakable yesterday as the Wallace family and friends kicked into action for the Wairoa Show and the start of a big weekend for rodeo in Hawke's Bay.
Mum and dad Richard and Harmony and daughters Cindy, Annabel and Hannah were all involved setting up as the show prepared for a local rodeo last night and the big event today, an open and second division rodeo which includes a transtasman junior test match.
Many, including the more than 20 teenagers in the transtasman event's saddle bronc riding, barrel race, steer and bull riding-ride, will hit the road later in the day for the another test match at the second division Upper Mohaka Rodeo tomorrow.
More than 200 entries were received for the Wairoa rodeo, a growing attraction at the show where other features on the third and last day today include the horse and pony events, the shearing championships and the sheep dog trials, along with other events to include more townspeople.
The Australians aren't the only ones to have come a long way, with a 1700km round trip being made by Kaitaia bronc rider Ramone Neho, but he won't be competing.
Injured, he's come as support crew for younger brother Tyrone.
None of the the Wallace family rides, the spur for their involvement being Cindy's partner, bullrider Brent Gallagher. There are key roles for Harmony, the secretary, and Ardkeen farmer Richard, who "makes sure" the riders start in the right order.
Also in camp are pick-up rider Dick Halley, who for at least 16 years has chased and caught the animals after they part company with their riders. There's also life-member Bruce Proffit, who's been involved for "about 30 years" and gateman Mike Foley, with sons Stephen and Mark as helpers.
Show president David Martin said the close proximity of the rodeo, dog trials, horse and pony events and shearing provided a unique atmosphere at the show. "It's all there," he said.

Is there any recall on Pedigree canned dog food now?
I have fed my dog Pedigree canned beef dogfood for at least 2 years now without any issues. Within the last week ,2 days he vomited within 1hr of eating. I have now stopped using the food and no more vomiting. Worried if there is possibly an issue with the food.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Yes, Pedigree is a very bad food. I used to have it and I fed it to my dogs for years until I found out it was crud before anything bad happened. I feed my puppy Canidae, and the other dogs, TimberWolf.
I know these are SOME of the foods you should NEVER get:
*Science Diet
Those are the only ones my human can think of. The commercial foods are bad. I understand this is really hard, because they make it look so good with their advertisements and all. But, don't let that fool you. Inside of that food, it is all nasty.
Good luck!!! :)

There was never a recall on Pedigree and my 12 year old fox terrier had been eating it until last spring when I switched him to Wellness and certain types of Purina One. The best thing to do though is consult your vet.

I know Pedigree did have a recall on some of their dry pet food because it may have been contaminated with salmonella but I don't know about canned. Read this and it may give you more information.
You should know Pedigree is a very low quality dog food, it is rated a 1 out of 6, the lowest score possible. Check this link out and you should switch her to something with a higher rating. High end dogfoods have no fillers, corn, meat by-products or meat meal, no nasties. It has meat as the first few ingredients, dogs are carnivores, they need meat. You will find your dogs over all health and energy improve with a far better food.
Have a good one.

While it's possible that your dog got sick from a specific can of dog food from Pedigree, I've not been able to find anything about a recall concerning canned beef in particular. There have been recalls as recently as December 5th and August of this year. You may want to do a google search to see if you can find any recalls that might pertain to the formula/flavor you feed him.
I think there's a good chance this has nothing to do with the food, though, and he could have gotten ill from something else like eating something in the backyard, having an upset tummy in general. The eating of anything might have set him off.
Pedigree is a poor quality food and I'd consult your vet to make absolutely sure he's okay. Swtich to a higher grade brand like Wellness or Eagle Pack once he's feeling better and do it gradually, over a week or two weeks to avoid gastic upset.
Hope he's all better soon!

(Peking University First Medical School)
Peking University First Hospital (also called "Beida" Hospital) is a large comprehensive tertiary hospital integrating medical services with teaching, research and preventive medicine. It lies in the old imperial city, the very center of Beijing. It is the closest hospital to Zhongnanhai and one of the bases for treating high-ranking government officials and senior scholars.
Founded in 1915, Beida Hospital is the first state-owned hospital and the first-batch clinical medical school. It was initially the affiliated clinic of Beijing Medical School approved by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China. In 1946, it became a part of Peking University (also called Beida) and was renamed Beida Hospital. It didn't get current name Peking University First Hospital until the year 2000 when Beijing Medical University and Peking University integrated after several separation and combination.
In the past ninety years, our hospital established the first Pediatrics Department (1940), the first Urology Department (1946), the first Cardiovascular Ward in general hospital (1950s), and the major of Nephrology (1950) and Pediatric Neurology (1950s) in China. We are also in the leading position among domestic colleagues on the performance of intravenous anesthesia (1951), surgical treatment of congenital heart diseases (1950s), kidney transplantation (1960), artificial crystal embedding (1983), coronary intervention (1986), self-blood callback (1997), thoracoscope operation (1992) and mini-incision lung transplantation (2003) and so on. Therefore, Peking University First Hospital has contributed and is contributing its own efforts to Chinese medical industry.
Peking University First Hospital has 36 clinical departments, 17 technological departments, 6 institutes, totally 60 wards and 1500 beds. Nearly 7000 outpatients are treated in this hospital per day. Over 45000 patients are admitted, with about 20000 operations completed per year. The hospital has over 3000 full time employees, including about 200 with a professional title of professor equivalent, over 250 with a professional title of associate professor equivalent. Prof. Guo Yinglu of Urology Department in our hospital was honored as an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999, which is a national and independent organization, composed of elected members with the highest honor in the community of engineering and technological sciences of the nation.
Our hospital enjoys a reputation of complete disciplines and high-leveled general diagnosis and treatment. Our hospital owns 12 key disciplines of national level (including urology, pediatrics, dermatology, nephrology, TCM and integrated TCM and western medicine, cardiology, hematology, orthopedics, obstetrics & gynecology, ophthalmology, pathology and nuclear medicine) and a state base for drug clinical trial. As a Class A insurance hospital, we are providing 6.8 million Beijing citizens who are enjoying basic medical insurance with medical security. At the same time, the hospital is responsible for the free medical care of 60,000 persons and the health care of one eighth of the senior government officials. Among all the outpatients of our hospitals, one third of them are patients with stubborn diseases coming from all over the country.
As Peking University's affiliated hospital who has the longest history, our hospital has trained over 2600 undergraduates and over 2200 graduates in the last 30 years, including about 1400 students with master degree, about 800 students with doctor degree and over 60 post-doctoral students.
At present, the hospital has an enrollment of more than 300 students covered by eight year doctoral program, about 600 master program students, and about 200 nursing school undergraduates. In addition, our hospital is responsible for the CME of about 7000 persons.
For scientific research, the hospital has been among the leading position, and was awarded the "National Popular Science Education Base". Since 1978, our hospital is awarded more than 320 prizes by the state, Ministry of Health, Beijing Municipality or Peking University for its achievement in science and technology, including National Science and Technology Award, National Natural Science Award nominated by Ministry of Education and Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award. In the recent twenty years, the total number of papers written by our hospital staff amounts to 20,000. The number of papers collected by Science Citation Index (SCI) has been among the top in all medical institutes in China and the total number now is over 700.
As a member of the "National Team" of hospitals, under the leadership of central committee of CPC and the State Council, our hospital will try our best to release the doctor-patient conflict, to create a harmonious environment for medical treatment, to actively participate in the committee health care construction, to support health care in rural areas, and to become a public satisfying hospital. President Liu Yucun and all staff in Peking University First Hospital are grateful to leaders of all levels, all circles of the society and the general public, for the trust and kind support of so many years.

Has a quick, over-the-top throwing motion that snaps. Uncanny at finding windows to get his throws off. Can throw accurately from multiple release platforms from both in the pocket and on the run – a huge advantage that negates concerns about his height. The only time his height really becomes a disadvantage are on throws over the middle while facing inside pressure – he can be prone off his back foot in this situation. Turns his back to the defense and shows them the ball in play action. A mechanically proficient passer both dropping back from center and throwing from shotgun. Displays good trunk rotation, allowing him to maximize velocity.
Nimble, strong, and explosive athlete. Needs to gain more ground with his first step from under center, but otherwise has a good crossover, plant, and gather on his drops from under center. Able to execute three, five, and seven step drops, and plays with a sense of timing (hitting his first read at the top of the drop, getting to the secondary reads through the plant and gather). Excellent at extending the play with his feet and improvising. Is short, but not small – breaks defenders' grasps in the pocket with strength and makes them miss in the open field with agility.
Arm Strength
Displays good velocity in the rhythm and timing passing game. If able to plant and step into his throw, he can make most throws at all three levels of the field. However, because he cannot throw downhill from the pocket, he is more of a touch passer at the deeper levels. The ability to throw from multiple release platforms allows him to throw very quickly and with velocity while on the move – however, the deeper the throw, the longer his passes tend to hang in the air.
For the most part, displays good ball placement in the short and intermediate passing game, giving his wide receivers (a fairly limited group that struggles creating separation) opportunities to make catches in stride and gain yardage after the catch. Excellent sense of timing. Throws with anticipation, although it doesn't always show up because his receivers can be late in getting their heads around and looking for the ball. Can be prone to sailing passes over the deep middle. Excellent ball placement off play action and while on the run. Capable of making bucket throws in the outside quadrants.
Ran two philosophically different offenses at an extremely high level in his college career, learning one of them in a very compacted time frame. Eye-level in the pocket and while scrambling is excellent – maintains vision downfield, reading deep to short. Plays with an aggressive mindset – running hard and looking to make big plays against the defense, however, he does not play out of control or hurried. Like most improvisers, he can be trapped and cut off by the rush and pursuit – when it happens, he can be prone to making blind throws into double coverage or getting intentional grounding calls. For the most part, though, he is an excellent decision maker while improvising and looks to pass first while on the move, manipulating second level defenders to free up crossers. Despite being so proficient as an improviser, he is also a very good maker from the pocket within the structure of his offense.
Note: The videos used for this scouting report were almost entirely from Wilson's senior year at Wisconsin. For further reading, I highly recommend Matt Waldman's breakdown of Wilson within N.C. State's offense.
Measurables coming soon!

I've tried several pro-biotics- some quite expensive. Currently I seem to have the best luck with Pearls YB (targets the small intestine) and Pearls IC (I take alternatively- I switch between these two). Pearls aren't a mega dose, so you can tailor them to what you need. Most days I take one. But some days I find I feel better with more support (if I have a FODMAP- say, some hummus; or if I eat too much starch/carbs and feel UGH). Hope that helps!Karina Allrichhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-19281824.post-57656039157972198522014-04-03T07:54:25.612-07:002014-04-03T07:54:25.612-07:00Karina, this is awesome - thank you!

It gives such great options to a particularly limiting diet. Have you had the hydrogen/methane breath test to assess for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)? That could be the underlying issue causing the bloating and IBS-D. If you have a positive breath test you can treat the cause and eventually add even more foods to your diet. Good luck to you. A great source of SIBO info, if you're interested, is siboinfo.com.

I think you may have a case.
I think the thing I would focus on is the shaking of the home and not the noise/nuisance of the train. Is this a SFR or a manufactured home?
It all really depends on your state's disclosure laws and its definition of material. To me a shaking home is a material fact.
I would speak with an attorney and bring all your paperwork. They can advise you of your options.
You agent may or may not be bound by the code of ethics. If they are a REALTOR and not just an agent then they are bound by the code. If they did 'lie' then I would file a complaint. Also check to see if your state has a real estate recovery fund.

There are currently more than 20 million high school-aged students in the U.S., many of whom share a very common goal — to have the time of their lives at their high school proms. For some, it is an easily attainable goal that includes traveling to the store and purchasing the prom dress (or tuxedo) of their choice. For others, attending the prom can be more difficult when it is a struggle to afford the necessities so many of us take for granted.
In 2005, Operation PROM, a national not-for-profit organization, was established to help students in need attend their proms at little or no cost by providing free prom dresses and tuxedo rentals. Since then it has expanded to include regular donations of clothing and school supplies to students who are sick, homeless or live in shelters.
During her senior year at St. Joseph's College, Meaghan Chambers '13 was searching online for an organization that would accept her donation of formal dresses when she discovered Operation PROM. What she also discovered was the need for a Long Island chapter that would serve both Nassau and Suffolk counties.
"I had a wonderful prom experience. My friends and I had the best time that night and I will never forget it," Meaghan said. "Those memories made me want to give other girls the opportunity to enjoy themselves as much as I did."
So, she decided to establish her own chapter by contacting Noel D'Allacco, founder and president of Operation PROM. After completing an application and phone interview, Meaghan was approved by the board of directors at Operation PROM and started working toward her mission.
"When I spoke to Meaghan, I could tell she would be dedicated to Operation PROM," Ms. D'Allacco said. "Meaghan is a go-getter with a warm personality and positive attitude. It is so important to have young people on our team, making a difference in their communities. Meaghan is just the type of person we look for at Operation PROM."
Since then, Meaghan has turned her Lindenhurst home into an Operation PROM headquarters, with a constant stream of volunteers, interns (including SJC senior Stefanie Tartaro '13) and dresses flowing in and out.
"I have always been involved with community service projects, so simply donating dresses didn't seem like enough to me," Meaghan said. "I personally felt that I needed to do something on a larger scale. The most rewarding part about Operation PROM is having the ability to make someone's prom dreams come true. Knowing they will have those memories to cherish all because of our team and our mission is a wonderful feeling."
As a student, Meaghan switched paths a few times before finding her niche as a communications studies major. She was also an active member of the Zeta Sigma Phi Sorority, the Orientation Team, Nicaragua Project, Art Club and Go Green Club. Even with her extensive list of extracurricular activities and a full class load, Meaghan graduated from the Long Island Campus in December 2012, one semester early. She is currently preparing her graduate school applications, although she hopes to return to SJC to earn an M.S. in Human Resources Management.
"St. Joseph's was the best fit for me and I loved being involved in the college community," Meaghan said. "The classes were interesting and every teacher I had was so helpful and influential on the path I had chosen."
By hosting events and accepting private donations, she hopes to one day be able to provide dresses for every girl in need on Long Island. Meaghan finds her greatest challenge to be space for storing the dresses she has received and is currently seeking donated storage space from local businesses. Her Long Island chapter of Operation PROM partnered with SJC's Diamond Club to host dress collection drives throughout the month of February. Private donations can be arranged by contacting Meaghan directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"SJC is a wonderful school with so many opportunities to have fun while networking at the same time," Meaghan said. "I would advise each and every student to get involved with community service projects, both on and off campus. They offer a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that paying jobs just cannot give you."

Cardosa, Ana Rute (1996) Workers or employers: who is shaping wage inequality in Portugal? DARP, 22. Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Political Science, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK.Full text not available from this repository.
An extensive micro data set matching firms, establishments and their employees, is used to study the determinants of earnings inequality in Portugal and its evolution from 1983 to 1992, with the Theil index, its decomposition, and the decomposition of its change as tools of analysis. A profile of an economy undergoing modernisation, where rising labour market inequality signalled the lack of an adequate labour force, can be drawn. An upgrading of the quality of the labour force, accompanied by rising returns to skill and schooling and declining returns to age is detected, while firms shifted towards more flexible structures. The impact of institutions was twofold. Trade unions, claiming to follow an inequality-reduction strategy, were unable to offset the rise in the highest wages, as wage drift was used by employers to overcome the constraints imposed by collective bargaining; the minimum wage legislation and collective bargaining contributed to compress the bottom of the wage distribution.

Panini America Adds New Tools of the Trade Material in 2012 Black Friday Promotion
Panini America Adds New Tools of the Trade Material in 2012 Black Friday Promotion
November 15, 2012 at 4:40 PM
In the months since Panini America first unveiled its show-special Tools of the Trade memorabilia cards during the 2012 Toronto Spring Expo with mammoth swatches of event-used towel from the NHL All-Star Game, the concept has picked up steam in a big way.
The company proceeded to fan the flames during Augusts National Sports Collectors Convention by incorporating crazy-prime pieces of oversized team towels used by the likes of Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Trent Richardson at the 2012 NFLPA Rookie Premiere.
It was those limited terrycloth titans in particular that seemed to generate the most sincere ooohs and aaahs in our booth during the National. But even more importantly, they cast light on what other possibilities might exist in the non-traditional, player-touched memorabilia arena and ultimately paved the way for even more uniqueness coming inside next weeks 2012 Black Friday promotion.
This time around, the top NBA rookies and one NHL youngster including Anthony Davis, Thomas Robinson, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Austin Rivers and Chris Kreider get the team-towel treatment, complete with plentiful prime pieces and cool card-back photos showing those towels in sweat-removing action during the 2012 NBA Rookie Photo Shoot and 2012 NHLPA Rookie Showcase, respectively.
But the real Tools of the Trade history-makers in the 2012 Panini America Black Friday set are cards of Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo and Dez Bryant embedded with huge pieces of each players . . . wait for it, wait for it . . . team-issued equipment bags. To be sure, the cards provide a unique new addition to the Tools of the Trade genre and continue the tradition of picturing the intact item from which the card was made on the back.

House Could Consider Legislation This Week to Reduce Crack and Cocaine Sentencing Disparity
July 27, 2010 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
UPDATE 2: President Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act on August 3, 2010.
UPDATE: The House of Representatives passed the Fair Sentencing Act by voice vote on July 28, 2010. Read The Leadership Conference statement on the vote.
Advocates are calling on the House of Representatives to pass the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 this week, which would reform a law that created a sentencing disparity between powder and crack cocaine. Under current law, a person with five grams of crack cocaine – the weight of two sugar packets – receives the same five-year mandatory minimum sentence as someone with 500 grams of cocaine, which is about a pound.
Members of the House now have the opportunity to narrow a disparity created during a "wave of racially-tinged media hysteria" in the 1980s with little understanding of the drug trade itself or the chemical properties of crack cocaine. Since the passage of these drug laws, scientists have concluded that both versions of the drug are essentially the same and researchers have found the violence associated with the drug have to do with trade itself and not necessarily with use of the drug.
The sentencing disparity has led many people to view the criminal justice system as unfair, and many advocates say the law has resulted in misdirection of federal enforcement resources to focusing on low-level dealers rather than the pursuit and prosecution of high–level traffickers. According to the Sentencing Project, 55 percent of federal crack cocaine defendants are street-level dealers whereas only 1.8 percent are high-level suppliers. Racial disparities have also underscored the unfairness of the law given how African Americans are prosecuted out of proportion to their usage rates. More than 80 percent of those sentenced for dealing crack are Black, even though two-thirds of those who use the drug are either White or Hispanic.
Under the bill, brokered by Senators Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the 100-to-1 sentencing disparity between powder cocaine and crack cocaine would be reduced to 18-to-1. It would also eliminate the mandatory minimum for simple possession of crack cocaine. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the new law could save $42 million in taxpayer funds over the next five years.
The Leadership Conference and others in the civil rights community support eliminating the disparity altogether. However, The Leadership Conference still believes the Senate bill that is a step in the right direction. As Sen. Durbin said in a speech on the Senate floor earlier this year, "If this bill is enacted into law, it will immediately ensure that every year, thousands of people are treated more fairly in the criminal justice system."
Many within the law enforcement community have also endorsed the bill, including the National District Attorneys Association, the National Association of Police Organizations, the International Union of Police Associations, and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. Even noted conservatives have called upon the House of Representatives to put tough-on-crime politics aside and pass the Senate bill.
"While head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, I talked with front-line agents and drug task force officers who said the sentencing disparity was undermining community confidence in the fairness of the criminal justice system," said former DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson, in a recent op-ed. "Approving the Fair Sentencing Act will support equal treatment for all under the law, a principle upon which our country is founded."

Trying to arrange an intervention for a drug user without professional advice and assistance is not a good idea. It can lead to dangerous situations for everyone involved and actually have a negative impact on the drug abuser's long-term potential for recovery.
Interventions require a complex interplay of support and confrontation that is best organized and run by professional interventionists who have training and expertise in this area. The support and participation of friends and family are an important element in the process, but the planning and resources of a professional are critical.
Individuals who abuse drugs often feel that they are in control, and that the drugs enable them to better control different aspects of their life. They may be "self-medicating" for a mental or physical health condition – or using the drugs to "perform better" at their jobs. Unfortunately, these individuals are simply deluding themselves, and it eventually becomes all too clear that the drugs are in control of them, not the other way around. After their attempts at blaming everyone else for their problems fail, a professional drug intervention may be their best chance at regaining control of their lives.
Many drug abusers feel that their drug use is a personal issue that is no one's business but their own. The reality is that the drug abuser negatively impacts everyone around them in a variety of ways. This can be through accidental or intentional violence brought on by hallucinations or false feelings of confidence or expertise, or the result of drug-seeking behaviors on the part of an addict looking for their next fix any way they can get it. The list of potential negative consequences is endless and will only continue to grow until your loved one gets the help they need through a professional drug intervention.
Drug abusers come in all shapes and sizes, and their drug of choice can have a big impact on their path to recovery. A professional drug intervention takes these differences into account and plans a strategy that is tailored to the specific challenges posed by the subject's drug (or drugs) of choice. This is the approach that will have the best chance of success, regardless of the specific drugs in question.
With the help of one of our recommended professional interventionists, your loved one will finally see that they have a problem. They will no longer be able to try and justify their actions or try and assure everyone they can handle it on their own. After your loved one's intervention they will know that they need to get help at a professional treatment facility or they will never get better.
If your friend or family member has a serious problem with drugs, you need to get involved, and the best way to do that is by scheduling a professional intervention today. Contact us right now at NIDA to get your loved the help they need.
No matter what you may think, your family wants to help. You can posture all you'd like about being blindsided, or ambushed; but at the end... Read More Stories

text: by Kent Harrington Oct 2, 2013 Comments (2) AIChE Topics: Chemicals & Materials Share This Post: Last week, local Houston reporters toured laboratories at LyondellBasell's new Technology Center next to the company's huge Channelview complex, which is expanding to take advantage of boom-time quantities of natural gas and natural gas liquids like ethane and propane, the major chemical feedstocks. The company might not have relocated its new research and development (R&D) center to Texas before this era of cheap shale gas, said LyondellBasell CEO Jim Gallogly at the unveiling. But the lab walkthrough represents a stunning reversal. FuelFix writer Zain Shauk put Gallogly's remarks in context: LyondellBasell emerged from bankruptcy in 2010 after a period of high oil and natural gas prices. "In 2000, the chemical industry in the US was in very desperate times," Gallogly said. Natural gas prices were much higher, causing prices for ethane and other (NGLs) to also rise. US chemical producers were losing competitive advantage against other parts of the world, which relied on oil-based naphtha. "Within months, the US chemical industry lost 30% of its market share,"Gallogly added. During this bleak period, GE Plastics was sold to Saudi Arabi's Sabic in 2007 and Brazil's Braskem bought Dow Chemical's polypropylene business in 2011, making it the largest PP producer in North America. Now with increased supplies of NGLs in the US, many companies, including LyondellBasell, have announced plans to increase capacity to take advantage of the low-cost feedstock. "We've had a phenomenal resurgence in the chemical world," Gallogly said. Across the US chemical industry, companies are planning or building more than 90 projects costing a total of $72 billion because of cheap natural gas and other feedstocks, the American Chemistry Council reports. State-of-the-art lab During the lab tour, media spokesman David Harpole said that most of the new center's 80 employees had been hired locally, and 22 of them had moved to Houston after LyondellBasell closed its research site near Philadelphia. He went on to say that the new lab's scientists are a highly "specialized group of individuals with a set of skills that makes them very valuable to our organization." They will focus on improving feedstock reactions to new catalysts, by trying to make them more efficient, require less energy, and ultimately, increase production. LyondelBasell's chemists already hold over 130-patents - and Spandex and Propylene Oxide are two of the company's greatest hits. Ideally, immediate access to the lab's newest equipment will speed up research. For example, after mixing new catalysts, scientists can then fire X-rays at the materials to to test their reactions, or they can also use nuclear magnetic resonance to further confirm the molecular structure of the materials. The center also has small-scale models of plants, which are still large enough to fill a small home. The models run chemicals through a series of steel tubes, hoses, reactors, and chillers to create chemical products and separate them from other materials. Reporters were shown one pilot system where materials moved through two "chilling trains" to cool gases so that they could be liquefied and separated from products. "One is cold, another is very cold, " said Jared Fern, a research engineer at the center. The mini-plants will quickly show whether the new materials work, and how much they improve efficiency. Improved productivity has meant putting the new facility right next to a company's plant, which makes applying new lab technologies much easier. "Working together, they have a much better opportunity to look at how the processes are running, and how we might work to improve them with new catalysts," Harpole said. Is this the beginning of a new US-dominated era in plastics? Images: LyondellBasell Log in to post comments Comments Biology Student (not verified) Nov 18, 2013 That's a good news indeed.

This whimsical painting is full of texture and movement. Painted in Gouache with a warm palette, it would be a great addition to your collection. This piece was originally created in a series of character development paintings for a beautifully illustrated version of the classic, Alice in Wonderland. The painting features the white rabbit, his pocket watch, a playing card and the magic potion Alice drinks in chapter two to grow tall.
This painting was created over several weeks. I created the piece with gouache on cardboard. The cardboard canvas is sealed with gesso and silver acrylic paint before the many layers of gouache are meticulously applied. Each layer of gouache is sealed with spray fixative and a layer of gloss medium so that each translucent gouache layer is set into place before the next layer is added. This technique gives the finished piece the appearance of depth full of rich texture and complex color combinations.

Mumbai University to start courses in management, biotechnology, nanotechnology and food processing
- Dailybhaskar.com
- Apr 06, 2013, 00:01 AM IST
Mumbai University will start courses in management, biotechnology, nanotechnology and food processing in Thane campus, which will be operational by 2014. Rs11 crore has been sanctioned for the Thane sub-centre and the state plans to build administrative and academic blocks by 2014. 22 acre of land was available in Kalwa in Thane district reserved for the purpose.
State Higher and Technical Education Minister Rajesh Tope informed the House that six acre land has been given by Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) for administrative and academic buildings. In 2012-13, Rs 5 crore provision was made and in 2013-14, Rs 6.5 crore has been provided. The construction work is expected to be completed in nine months and management courses will be started first followed by nano technology, bio- technology, food processing and preservative courses. The Mumbai University has made available Rs 18.22 crore for filling up administrative vacancies. The minister said the government would check with Mumbai university as to why the construction work has been delayed and issue necessary directives.
Tope was replying to a calling-attention notice that asked the government to avoid any delay in construction of a sub-centre in Thane. The local municipal corporation had allotted land for the sub-centre some years ago. Jitendra Awhad (Nationalist Congress Party) wanted to know the state's decision on splitting the university and have separate universities for Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts. Baba Siddique (Congress) and Jitendra Awhad (NCP) demanded that students elections be started again to which the minister said he would take up the matter with the CM and Deputy CM. Awhad wondered why government engineering colleges were not set up after the formation of Maharashtra state in 1960.
While the state government has refused to split the University of Mumbai into multiple units, it has promised to start a separate campus in Thane and other places in Konkan region. The announcement was made by higher and technical education minister Rajesh Tope in the Assembly on Wednesday. State does not plan to lose the brand value that the university has. "We have appointed a committee to decide on the location of several campuses affiliated to the university. We want all the institutes to bear the name of University of Mumbai," said Tope.
