5 Signs Your Web Host isn't Delivering
Many people don't even know who their web host is. Fewer have ever reached out to them. Like your dentist, you probably don't even think about your web host unless a problem pops up—however, that's the worst time to get acquainted. Your web host plays a big role in the overall performance of your website, although you may not notice it (but your visitors do!). Your web host can impact your site speed, level of security, and ultimately the kind of experience visitors have.
How do you know your web host isn't delivering? You might have to introduce yourself first, but once you know what to look for, it's easy to spot red flags:
- They don't offer virtual private server/VPS hosting: The majority of web hosts don't offer VPS hosting, but they should. It's a service that's in between basic shared plans and dedicated hosting, giving you the best of both worlds. You get the security and speed of dedicated, but at the price of basic. Many web hosts don't offer it because it's not to their advantage—even though it benefits their clients! If your web host doesn't offer it, you have to wonder what else they're holding back on.
- They don't have 24/7 support: You should be able to connect with your web host any time of day or night in a reasonable manner. Maybe it's via phone, video chat, or live chat. Since your website doesn't run on banker's hours, your web host shouldn't either. Otherwise, what's going to happen when your e-commerce site goes down at 5am on Black Friday? You can't afford to wait until Monday to fix it.
- They have poor reviews: Depending on the size of your web host, you can't expect flawless reviews—but you at least deserve a host with over 95 percent satisfaction. Check out what others have to say about your host, and you might realize it's not "normal" to have so much down time. It's the Digital Era's version of word of mouth.
- They're not transparent: A reputable web host is happy to explain processes to you regardless of your own tech-iness. If it seems like they're purposefully being vague, they probably are. On the other hand, they just might not have the capacity to explain things. Either way, that's not something you should put up with.
- They don't have over 99% uptime: No web host can guarantee 100 percent uptime. However, you can (and should!) certainly expect over 99 percent. It might not seem like there's much of a difference between 98 and 99 percent, but there is. Your customers will notice and it will reflect poorly on you. Make sure you get as much uptime as possible and that it is clear what the compensation is if your web host doesn't deliver.
Is your web host actually being a "host" to you and your business? They should be, since they're an integral part of your online success. If you're not totally happy, it might be time to start shopping around.

Mayhem # 2271406
About MeHi everyone, I am a professional model with over a decade in the business. Looking to network, and create beautiful work with other professionals! Spokesperson for GM, Actress, writer, and accomplished make-up artist. I am originally from Seattle Washington, and am kind of a fluttering butterfly all over the place now :) Working when, and where I can.
If someone were to ask me: "What do you love more? Modeling, or make-up artistry?".. It would be very hard to answer. I am blessed with the skill, opportunities, and creative spirit to do both (very well), and so I do. I am an artist to the very core.
I love doing TFP's with other photogs that I feel would fit my portfolio. I'm a firm believer that time is of the essence, and something we can't get back. That said, I won't waste yours. If I don't think our styles match for work together, I intend to be honest, please do the same with me.
You can count on me to be:
Hard working
Dedicated through, and through.
I also prefer to do my own make-up, but of course am open to your creative team. Just note that you do not have to book one.
I am a real person also :). Check out my Youtube :) www.youtube.com/melissaroshan
Because of the nature of my talent contracts, I am unable to shoot anything nude.

Anchitherium (meaning near beast) was a fossil horse with a three-toed hoof.
Anchitherium was a browsing (leaf eating) horse that originated in the early Miocene of North America and subsequently dispersed to Europe and Asia [4][3], where it gave rise to the larger bodied genus Sinohippus [1]. It was around 60 centimetres (10 h) high at the shoulder, and probably represented a side-branch of horse evolution that left no modern descendants.[5]
A number of species have been included in the genus since it was first named.
- A. alberdiae
- A. aurelianense
- A. australis
- A. castellanum
- A. clarencei
- A. corcolense
- A. cursor
- A. ezquerrae
- A. gobiense
- A. hippoides
- A. matritense
- A. navasotae

The B lymphocyte antigen receptor is a multimeric complex that includes the antigen-specific component, surface immunoglobulin (Ig). Additionally we are shipping CD79a Molecule, Immunoglobulin-Associated alpha Antibodies (515) and CD79a Molecule, Immunoglobulin-Associated alpha Proteins (11) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 2 out of 3 products:
BCR (show BCR ELISA Kits) activation is accompanied by asymmetric conformational changes, possibly promoting the binding of Igalpha and Igbeta to differently localized signaling complexes
CD79a myeloid cells showed enhanced ability to promote primary tumor growth and metastasis.
Data indicate that in the absence of DGKzeta (show DGKZ ELISA Kits), the threshold for B cell antigen receptor (BCR (show BCR ELISA Kits)) signaling, measured as activation of the Ras-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK (show EPHB2 ELISA Kits)) pathway, was markedly reduced in mature follicular B cells.
Data show that the B cell antigen receptor (BCR (show BCR ELISA Kits)) and Igalpha may be required for B cell survival because they function as adaptor proteins in a BAFFR (show TNFRSF13C ELISA Kits) signaling pathway leading to activation of Syk (show SYK ELISA Kits), indicating crosstalk between the two receptors.
The mouse B cell-specific mb-1 (show PSMB5 ELISA Kits) gene encodes an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) protein that may be evolutionarily conserved in diverse species by purifying selection.
endocytosed BCR (show BCR ELISA Kits) sequentially regulates MAPK (show MAPK1 ELISA Kits) and Akt (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) signaling pathways from intracellular compartments
Arginine 198 in the tail of the Igalpha subunit of the BCR (show BCR ELISA Kits) is methylated by the protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (show PRMT1 ELISA Kits). Methylation negatively regulates the calcium and PI-3 (show PI3 ELISA Kits) kinase pathways of the BCR (show BCR ELISA Kits), promoting signals leading to B (show TDO2 ELISA Kits) cell differentiation.
The direct recruitment of BLNK (show BLNK ELISA Kits) to immunoglobulin alpha couples the B-cell antigen receptor to distal signaling pathways
IgA deficiency in lymphotoxin-deficient (LT(-/-)) mice could be fully reversed by reconstitution with LT-expressing bone marrow, despite the absence of both LNs and PPs.
The VHDJH recombination process at the IgH locus and the survival of pro-B cells that carry these rearrangements do not depend on the expression of Ig-alpha molecules.
Data show that Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK (show BTK ELISA Kits))inhibitor Ibrutinib augments MALT lymphoma associated translocation (show MALT1 ELISA Kits) protein (MALT1 (show MALT1 ELISA Kits)) inhibition by S-Mepazine in CD79 antigen mutant activated B cell-subtype (ABC (show ABCB6 ELISA Kits)) of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Phosphorylation of CD79a causes a decrease in helical propensity in the C-terminal region, for CD79b (show CD79B ELISA Kits), the opposite was observed and phosphorylation resulted in an increase of helical propensity in the C-terminal part.
High intensity of caries is associated with increased levels of some salivary components - sIgA, histatin-5 (show HTN3 ELISA Kits) and lactoperoxidase (show LPO ELISA Kits).
CD79a plays a functional role in the tumor promoting effects of myeloid cells, and may represent a novel target for cancer therapy.
STN (show EEF1A2 ELISA Kits) produced significant antitumor effects in a mouse xenograft model of CD79A/B-mutated DLBCL.
CD79a may be helpful marker in the differential diagnosis of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma
Unlike the B29 (show CD79B ELISA Kits) octamer motif, the mb-1 (show PSMB5 ELISA Kits) octamer motif does not have the essential sequence required for OBF-1/Bob1 (show POU2AF1 ELISA Kits) interaction, therefore its promoter is not transactivated by OBF-1/Bob1 (show POU2AF1 ELISA Kits).
B cell-restricted mb-1 (show PSMB5 ELISA Kits) gene: expression, function, and lineage infidelity. Review.
Results indicate that PAX5 (show PAX5 ELISA Kits) is a more specific marker than CD79a for B-cell ALL diagnosis.
lower levels of B-cell receptor surface expression observed in chronic lymphocytic leukemia are accounted for by an impaired glycosylation and folding of the mu and CD79a chains.
The B lymphocyte antigen receptor is a multimeric complex that includes the antigen-specific component, surface immunoglobulin (Ig). Surface Ig non-covalently associates with two other proteins, Ig-alpha and Ig-beta, which are necessary for expression and function of the B-cell antigen receptor. This gene encodes the Ig-alpha protein of the B-cell antigen component. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

#1 REBUTTAL Individual responds
Malicious lies posted by hateful, bitter individual that I hope recognizes he/she will reap what they've sown.
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 23, 2013POSTED: Friday, August 23, 2013
I saw this bulls**t when it was originally posted in 2010. I chose to ignore it at the time and have continued to ignore it simply because it is a bunch of malicious lies perpetrated by a very hateful and embarrassed individual. It reads like something written by a jealous teenage girl. SMH. I'm only responding to it now because as I am gaining popularity on my blog and amateur modeling, this ridiculous report has begun to slowly circulate in my circles by a person or persons who wish to mare my good name. Whomever posted this originally is trifling and IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A FRIEND OF MINE. Whomever has decided to circulate this foolishness on Facebook is equally as trifling. Neither individual has ever contacted me. This picture was stolen off of Myspace, it was my profile pic at the time this s**t was posted.
First of all, I do not know who wrote this mess, but I suspect it was Reggie Garrett or Shay Williams/Shay Your Date Diva or someone working in their stead. I have spoken with Shay directly and she denies posting it and stated she does not know who did. Shay unknowingly married the bigamist Reggie Garrett who was still married to Candace Bush at the time he courted and married Shay. I was contacted by the sister of the lady that was suing Reggie and Shay and that is how I found out Reggie had illegally married someone else. I informed Candace and due to memory issues r/t her epilepsy, she asked me to contact Shay and forward her proof that she was married to a man that was still legally married. Instead of accepting the information, Shay began an onslaught of legal proceedings against Candace and myself claiming we were harassing her and telling lies about her bigamist husband. In hindsight, I should have minded my own d**n business, but I was trying to help a friend (Candace) and a woman who had been deceived (Shay) by a bigamist. Shay has since accepted that she married a bigamist, gotten her marriage to Reggie annulled about 2 years ago. She told me that she HATED SHE EVER MET REGGIE.
Now on to this so-called Ripoff Report. This site is supposed to be used to report people with bad business practices, not to tarnish the reputation of a private citizen as was done to me. Why would someone claiming to be a former friend of mine make a report about what I supposedly did to someone else but not tell what I supposedly did to them?? I'll tell you why. Because there is no such former friend. Everything that was posted is an outright LIE.
1. I am not and have never been a l*****n.
2. Reggie tried to engage me in a 3-some with he and Candace and when I wouldn't consent to that, he tried to get me on his own. When I didn't consent to that either, he told Candace I tried to get with him. At the time, yes, she believed him over me and we did not speak for several years. They were not married at the time. We were not in contact during the time she was married to him. After he cheated on her numerous times and was mentally and physically abusive to her, she contacted me after she left him, apologized for believing his lies, and we restarted our friendship. I don't know anything about how often Candace went out or who she left her child with because we were not in contact with each other.
3. I was not molested as a child, and even if I were, what kind of person would post such a thing? That's just sick and evil.
4. I was not thick/fat/chubby as a teen and have never had a problem with my weight. Anyone that knows me knows love the way I look and always have. If anything, I would be called conceited, not insecure, about my looks. That accusation is beyond laughable.
5. I'm married to a "much younger" man? 2 years is "much" younger? And so what I married a younger man?
6. I get STDs and lie to the men I sleep with about them? O_o Laughable.
7. I told my human resources about this foolishness as soon as it was posted, threatening to tell my job does you no good.
To the author of this post, you only made YOURSELF look bad and like a coward by posting this nonsense. Unfortunately, Ripoff Report allows people to post anything they want on this website without repurcussion and they won't remove any reports. So it's here to stay, but it's a bunch of lies pure and simply.

|Next update on WEDNESDAY, August 17th.
Large bodies of water, depending on their type, can have a profoundly different effect on my emotional state. When I'm looking at a river like the Danube, I am overwhelmed with a sense of inner peace. The rolling mass of water in that river feels lazy, sturdy, somehow soothing to the soul.
In contrast to that, the waters of the Pacific Ocean feel like raw strength, a sense of relative unease when around such nature's power. You can feel it in the wind when you are near it; it's as if, besides the beauty, there is an underlining menacing flux, reminding us of how small and insignificant we are.
Somehow I would imagine these contrasting bodies of water can carve out a human psyche, much like they can grind solid stone into fine sand.
As for the latest comic, you can see where I'm going with this. I am going to create the equivalent of a tsunami in the Arena by putting Vallant and Leeroy Jenkins in the same damn team :)
First and not the best combination with Eagle eye :P
Behold world...
Second, OMG Vallant and Leeroy utter Pwnage :)
third! perfect couple! ;)
fourth =D
tried to trick us with an early sunday release =P
Who needs a fifth, when you got Leeroy, eh?
2 Lions, I have a question: Does the person who played the actual Leeroy Jenkins have any notion that his character is being used here? If so, how much influence does he have? If not... Have you at least tried to contact the person to see? Thanks.
Well... at least Leeroy knows what class he is :P
Hmm, who will be number five in the team then?
Nice tabard.
I just rolled on Saurfang yesterday, let the levelling agony begin
Atleast he had chicken :P
p.s if you don�t know who Leeroy jenkins is take a look at these links.
check my second post @ http://www.tehgladiators.com/?p=62
What's with all the crab cake? :)
for TehGladiators
Who's the fifth? lol
Also, start giving Leeroy a real character attitude, instead of just quotes from the legend. As a comic maker, you can change reality to your necessity. See what I mean?
Now: Up for the disaster!
Mmmh can the scroll of ultimate victory outmatch leeroys thickness :p
munch!frmmhph? xD
funny thing is, when i read the comic 2 weeks ago, i had the strange feeling that leeroy would be perfect for teh glads team, but i directly said to myself: that wont happen! and now look at this!
edit: just something i was wondering, isnt it verry exactly a year ago that Teh Glads started with their crazy rampage? (i gues the 1st 14 episodes were posted at the same time)
Thunder ur sick, don't teamup 2 legends they are gonna destroy teh worlds....
This will be interesting lol
so there are two hordies and allies, who will be the next, a pandaren brewmaster? (pretty please :) )

Enhancements and maintenance fixes
About this Release
Oasis montaj 8.3 is a scheduled software upgrade available to all maintained customers. Based on feedback from our customers, this release delivers a broad range of new features and updates designed to provide you with more streamlined workflows throughout the software. In addition to these workflow improvements, you'll notice new features and enhancements for working with wireframes, drillhole data, sections, arrays, and voxels.
In this release, Geosoft is pleased to introduce VALEM, a new inversion service integrated within GM-SYS 3D designed for recovering the base of salt in complex density environments. This release also includes more updates and new features for GM-SYS 3D and the other Oasis montaj extensions, including: Airborne Quality Control, Drillhole, Geochemistry, GM-SYS Profile, and VOXI Earth Modelling.
How to update
Online installs for each product are available through the Check for updates option within the software and from the download link at the top of this page. If you require a DVD copy of the software, you can request one here. If you are using the Oasis montaj educational version you can update through the software or contact your local Geosoft support team for a download file or DVD.
System Requirements
Oasis montaj 8.3 requires either Windows 7 SP1 (recommended) (32 or 64 bit), Windows 8 (32 or 64 bit), or Windows 8.1 operating system. See detailed System Requirements
New Features
Optimized Voxel and Grid math drop-down lists
Voxel and Grid math tool drop-down lists now update quickly even with many grids or voxels in the list.
Set default display for new voxels
Choose whether or not to display newly created Voxels by default in the global settings. You can use this setting to hide the voxels if you are concerned about your workspace getting overcrowded with Voxels.
Voxel math supports vector voxels
You can now apply select math operations to vector voxels so you no longer need to disassemble vector voxels for math operations. A message will inform you if an operator is not supported.
Workflow Improvements
New Open Project Dashboard
Now when you start your Geosoft application you'll see a new dashboard that provides quick access to open your most recent projects or create a new one.
Flip vertical axis in the database profile window
Depending on the type of survey data you are working with, you may want to view the vertical Z axis with the increasing positive values going up (elevation) or down (depth). This new feature enables you to flip the profile view in either direction without changing the actual data values in the database.
Filter the colour ramp by file type
You can now filter the colour ramps by file type in the symbol, grid, and voxel display tools. This reduces the list to choose from, making it is easier to find the desired colour ramp.
Improved line numbering of split database lines
You can now specify line naming convention when splitting a continuous Geosoft database line. The generated lines have more concise line names making them easier to manipulate.
Organize groups into folders
In the View Group Manager pane, you can organize groups into folders two levels deep. This is particularly useful for organizing compilation maps that have numerous groups.
Rename documents
You can now save time by renaming VOXI and GM‐SYS 3D documents right in the Oasis montaj Project explorer. Whenever you rename a document, any auxiliary files related to the document are also safely renamed to ensure consistency.
3D Viewer opens with groups expanded only to second-level node
The 3D Viewer will always reopen with data groups expanded only to the second-level node. This avoids having to collapse expanded data groups with many nodes. The 3D tree and the Attributes tab will each occupy 50 percent of the space along the left-hand panel.
Create a section without drillhole data
Create a section map without starting from a drillhole project or array data. Use the output section map to display section grids, draw geological interpretations, and plan drillholes.
New consolidated Section Display Tool
The previously separate tools for displaying sections are now consolidated into the new Section Display tool. The new section tool enables you to select between displaying array data from a database or from pre-gridded sections.
You can automatically create multiple single-section maps in a single run or display stacked sections on a one map. Intelligent defaults help you generate sections with minimal input. All the sections are geolocation aware and linked with the supporting database and 3D views in real time.
Section and array tool menus reorganized
The Section and Array menus are reorganized to consolidate duplicate items and streamline the workflow, enabling you to work more quickly and efficiently.
Array Data
Report statistics on all array elements
You can now report statistics on all the array elements in a database, along with statistics on the entire array.
Array Channel selection list
When choosing channels to convert to an array channel tool, the channels in the selection list are now sorted by the order in which they were entered, with most the recent entries first. Previously, the list was sorted alphabetically.
Copy array channel properties
Most of the array channels in a database share common properties. Copy the base properties from an array to other channels with a single click.
Edit node density of a geostring in the 3D Viewer
A new Interpretations Editing mode enables you to create smoother-looking interpretations by increasing or decreasing the density of the nodes in an interpretation. Select the interpretations you want to edit and then click the Edit Interpretations icon on the 3D Viewer toolbar. You can preview the changes in the 3D Viewer before applying them to the geostring file.
Changing the density of the nodes within an interpretation also enables you to connect complex interpretations that would otherwise cause errors in the wireframes.
Wireframe editing history
The wireframe history is now saved when you edit or delete an interpretation on a section map. If you edit an interpretation vertex, the wireframe updates to reflect the change. If you delete an interpretation, the adjoining interpretations are reconnected without a gap. Delete the last interpretation in a segment, and the end cap is also removed.
Drillhole Plotting
Plot drillhole intersections on geosurfaces and grids
Quickly calculate the locations where your drillholes intersect geosurfaces or grids and display the results in a database as part of your drillhole project. The results database shows the location and depth (X,Y,Z) of where each drillhole intersects the surfaces and grids in your project.
You can then plot the intersection locations on a 2D or 3D map and see if your planned holes intersect a target.
One-step Maxwell DataShed Drillhole Import
For Maxwell users, a single import dialog makes it easy to import drillhole data directly from Maxwell DataShed. Easily select the collar, survey, from-to and point views you want to import.
If updates are made to the Maxwell DataShed data, you can quickly refresh your drillhole projects with the changes.
Not in release (Only admins see this)
Colour ramp selection available in more display tools
The colour ramp selection feature is now available in ten more symbol, grid, and voxel display tools.
Create a closed isosurface
When creating one or more isosurfaces from a Voxel, you now have the option to also create a closed surface shell around the voxel based on a specified surface value. Both the true isosurface and the closed surface are added to the 3D Viewer tree but the closed surface is hidden by default. You can use the closed surfaces as a Voxel Math input to clip a voxel to the outside of a closed surface or to clip a voxel to the inside of a closed surface. The attributes tab in the 3D Viewer will indicates if the selected surface in the 3D Objects tree is open or closed.
Multi-select for GOCAD TSurf import
In the 3D Viewer, you can now save time by importing several GOCAD surfaces at once, so you don't need to import each file separately.
Universal metadata tool
The metadata dialog is no longer specific to a particular data type. When you access the metadata dialog from a menu, it is pre-populated with the most recent files of that type, but if you want to access another data type, you can use the same dialog.
Use Windows proxy settings
The proxy server options were removed from the General and Advanced settings in your Geosoft application. You can now use the Windows system proxy settings for all Geosoft applications.
Oasis montaj Extensions
Airborne Quality Control
Updated the survey planning workflow
We've updated the survey planning tool and added a drape calculation tool that creates an approximation of a draped flight path for investigating the efficacy of locating potential geophysical targets. The drape calculation is not intended for creating the pilot's navigation flight plan.
Drillhole Plotting
Flexible fence diagram scaling
You can now scale the fence diagram to only display the area of interest.
Pan option in the Hole Selection Tool
In the Hole Selection Tool, use the pan button to move around the plan view window and see your entire map without changing the zoom level. Click the hand icon or use the Spacebar shortcut key to enter pan mode. Hold the left mouse button down while dragging the hand cursor to pan. Right-click to exit pan mode.
Prefix option for Map name tag
When creating a plan map, section, stacked Section, fence diagram or strip log you can specify a prefix for the Map name tag. This prefix will be added to the start of the file name for the *.map and any auxiliary files that are created as well. You save time by not having to manually rename all the related files for a drillhole project map and it also helps to group and sort files when viewing them in Windows Explorer.
Data-linking in Standards and Duplicates reports
You can now click a point in the Standards or Duplicates report and see the same point selected in the Standards or Duplicates database. The report allows you to easily see which samples fail and to quickly identify the corresponding point and sample ID in the database as part of your control point analysis.
Survey Design tool updates
The Survey Design tool includes a number of updates to provide you with more control over your maps. When using a polygon file (*.ply) in Oasis montaj or a shapefile in Geochemistry for ArcGIS, you can specify that the starting point for the first sample in the survey uses a round number. This provides you with more control over the coordinates that are added to the output database and makes it easier for field crew to work with coordinates they need to go to in the field. You can also specify the line increment and set up the line numbers to match the line spacing. You also have the ability to exclude QA/QC samples for Geophysical surveys which don't require them.
Log option for assay channels
A new simple tool enables you to log transform all, displayed or selected assay channels faster and more easily that using the previous channel math method. The transform options are natural log or log base 10.
Show alternative relief surfaces in a 3D model
You now have the ability to display other versions of a layer top (relief surface) in the context of the model. This enables you to preview and evaluate different versions of a layer surface that you may have acquired from other sources or through inversion, without actually changing the model.
You can also copy the relief surfaces to a back-up before applying an inversion. If you are satisfied with a particular version, you can make inactive relief surface active and the changes are applied to the model.
Support multiple Density-Depth functions in a 3D model
You can now specify multiple Density-Depth relationships within a 3D model, enabling you to assign a different relationship to each layer or body. As a result, you can more realistically represent the density relationships found in complex salt environments.
VALEM (Voxel Assisted Layered Earth Modelling)
VALEM is a new inversion service optimized for recovering the base of salt in complex density environments. Integrated with GM-SYS 3D, VALEM uses Geosoft's advanced 3D inversion technology deployed in a high performance computing (HPC) cloud, giving you the ability to create complex models from your laptop. The results are displayed as a natural part of your GM-SYS 3D modelling workflow.
GM-SYS 3D and VALEM use Geosoft's unique hybrid modelling approach integrates grids, geosurfaces, and 3D voxels to create a more accurate representation of salt geometry and sub-salt density distributions than traditional modelling methods. This allows you to easily incorporate velocity models and seismic interpretations into your 3D model.
GM-SYS Profile
Apply selected 1D FFT filters to a gravity anomaly profile
Marine and airborne data are often filtered as part of the processing stream. You can now filter the calculated response with the same parameters. Filtering can also reveal subtle anomaly features that are obscured by signal from other sources. Filtered versions of both the observed data and the calculated response may be displayed. Apply a 1D FFT filter to the observed and calculated gravity profiles and display the results in the gravity pane. The filtered profiles obey the "autocalc" flag and may be toggled on/off independently. The available filters include: Bandpass, Butterworth, Cosine roll-off, Gaussian, High-pass, and Low-pass.
Save Last Display settings with Profile models
When you close a GM-SYS Profile model, the display appearance is saved with the model. When you reopen the model it is displayed exactly as you left it, so you can continue your work with no extra effort. This also helps ensure that any output plots or screen captures that you create from your model are consistent.
VOXI Earth Modelling
Frequency domain EM 3D inversion supportUsing VOXI Earth Modelling, you can now invert frequency domain horizontal coplanar configuration electromagnetic (EM) data to produce a voxel conductivity model. You can then integrate this conductivity model directly with your magnetic and gravity inversions into a geophysical or geological interpretation in Oasis montaj. The EM inversion is based on 1D inversions interpolated along and between lines and is directed at, but not limited to, airborne frequency domain systems such as Dighem or Resolve.

Party Time (Meggie)
'Party Time'
I just love a good party. Whether it's a celebration of a child's eight year on this earth, or a huge 200-and-something-filled disco, complete with every kind of amusement you can think of…
Despite what you'd think (me being a mini-celebrity and all) I don't get much chance to actually hold a party; my life is filled with work, work, work. And so, I suppose that's why I jumped at the chance to go to little Amy's party, when Aidan suggested it to me. Now here we are.
The house that Aidan pulls his navy-blue-almost-black Opel car into the driveway of is a medium-sized townhouse, not too much on the fancy side, but with the right amount of ornaments scattered in the little green path of front garden, stuffed onto the window-sills, and climbing up the red-brick walls (though that is more the climbing Rose vine than an actual man-made ornament). I must say, though, the baby pink roses look so perfect, so pristine and pleasant, that I wouldn't be surprised if they really are false. However, the Jonsons care for their family and they care for their home too. Maybe that statement is judging too soon.
I hear the 'clip-clop' of high heels and turn to see Rachel, my simple, but most loving, sister-to-be, running towards us, clasping her hands in happiness. She's dressed in a long black polo-dress down to her calves with silver stitching creating mesmerising swirling patterns from the ends of her draping long sleeves up to the edge of the pointed collar.
You see, I tend to notice what people are wearing. Occupational hazard, I suppose.
"Oh, Meggie, it's so nice to see you here. And Aidan, late as usual."
I love the banter between my husband-to-be and my sister-to-be. They are both children at heart, unaware of the danger that I could be to their Holy family. Well, Rachel doesn't know about my lineage...I don't want to worry her.
Rachel embraces me and then gestures.
"You'd better come in. I'm sorry, but it's a bit hectic in here at the moment."
She leads us inside and then pokes her head up the open stairway.
"Amy, Uncle Aidan is here!"
I am aware of squeals, and then my adorable nephews- and nieces-to-be tumble down the stairs, their voices at the highest pitch possible for children of this age. I resist putting my hands over my ears. I guess I will have to get used to it.
I glance over at Aidan and raise my eyebrows. He loves this part of life: being an uncle, being responsible and being a teacher. Seeing as I took away the last passion from him, it just wasn't in my nature (even with its evil tendencies) to take this joy away.
"Uncle Aidan!" the shrieks arrive and attach themselves to Aidan in a variety of four sizes of small. After a minute I receive the same treatment, grinning down at them as they yell:
"Hello," Aidan and I both chortle at the same time, watching each other.
We're so similar! We're perfect for each other! Well, apart from the little matter of my Devil mother…

This surprised me somewhat. I had been told the cheaper flights from Kunming were no longer available precisely because they stopped in Lhasa, where we weren't allowed to be
I needn't have worried. Obtaining a visa was straightforward, and I was happily spared the horrors of taxis and stepping into the tourist ghetto of Thamel by an American couple who knew of a much quieter place to stay in Boudha, the main Tibetan enclave of Kathmandu. I was very glad for this, since the new country was quite overwhelming after so long in China. I dislike flying into countries, it's so sudden a change. Crossing overland, there's usually some sort of overlap where the cultures merge and are indistinguishable, easing the transition. Consequently, everything seemed that much more colourful and chaotic; there was none of the grey orderliness I had become used to in China. Cows wandered through the streets unchecked, the cars, though fewer in number, driven with hope and prayers more than anything else. At once dirty and vibrant, a severed limb in bright orange robes, beggars were everywhere, something rarely glimpsed in China.
Again, I have to thank Jason and Gaia for showing me around a little, a metaphorical hand holding as I got used to the change. Once comfortable enough to start exploring alone, the huge stupa near the guest house, the Boudhanath, seemed a natural place to start. One of the largest in the world and of uncertain age, the painted 'Buddha's eyes' staring benevolently over the district and beyond, there's a very definite energy about the place that's hard not to get caught up in. I spent quite some time just sitting peacefully up on the third tier, watching the crowds beneath, but the square really became alive at sunset, as hundreds would circle around the base in devotion. Every evening I would come down for dinner and get caught up in it, circumnambulating with everyone else. There was a similar, more intense feel at the Swayambhu temple, a similar sight of more significance to the local Tibetans.
Boudha was a great place to stay for a few days. As a predominantly Tibetan community, I felt at least a little familiarity there, having previously spent some time in the Tibetan areas of Sichuan. There was a more comfortable, friendly feel to the place than elsewhere I saw in Kathmandu; few touts, and even the beggars would smile and not hassle you if you had nothing to give. Consequently, I ended up giving a lot more than usual; I quite regularly would take one guy to a small restaurant for breakfast
Perhaps my favourite memories of Boudha will be of the group of young carpenters I met there when randomly exploring some of the suburbs. Quite excited that some random foreigners should have strolled into their part of town, they were exceptionally hospitable and insisted on bringing me food and drink. I spent a couple of days with them as they showed me around some of the more rural areas on the outskirts of the city. I had heard so much about how nice the Nepali people were, and it felt good to have it confirmed first hand, so soon after arriving in the country.
As good a place to get my bearings as it was, the majority of what I wanted and needed to do in Kathmandu forced me to move somewhere more central. Given the choice of Thamel and Jhochhe ('Freak Street'), I opted for Jhochhe without hesitation
Thamel is almost as much a tourist hell as Bangkok's Khao San road. A small maze of souvenir shops, travel agencies and overpriced guesthouses/restaurants by the hundred, it's absolutely nothing to do with Nepal and everything to do with parting the tourist from his dollar. Full of touts and rather unimaginative scammers, I ended up spending far more time than I would have liked here for the simple fact that, being close to the embassy district, it is annoyingly convenient to get things organised. Also, my friend Greg, last seen in China 5 months ago, fresh from a confluence hunting expedition, recently prominently featured in outdoors magazine (http://outside.away.com/travel_photo_gallery/outside/bolivia/index.html) and on the verge of launching his own tour company (www.earthcubed.com), happened to be staying there, doing some research for his company.
Visas are never much fun to deal with. Obtaining an Indian visa in Kathmandu is less enjoyable than most. To do it all yourself, there's a process you need to go through. First, turn up at the embassy at 4 in the morning to receive your number for the queue. Then, come back at 9, take your place in line and wait. Once inside, fill in the telex form (in BLACK ink), go to the first window and submit the form
Except it's not that easy. At four in the morning, I received number 69. This was good enough to get me into the embassy, but after that, it meant nothing. The visa 'office' was a tiny shed, large enough to hold maybe twenty people in comfort. Not a hundred and twenty. There was no queuing system, and some subtle pushing and shoving was going on. There was, stupidly, just one person to deal with everyone, telex and visa forms both. Each person took about ten minutes to deal with. I queued for 3 hours in the building heat with a migraine, waiting to get my telex form in, only to be the first to be turned away at 12.30 on the dot; the people in front of me pushed in line an hour or so earlier.
So I went to a Thamel agency. Much, much easier. I still had to go to the embassy one more time, but they are the ones that take the early numbers (well, them, and those that bribe the security guards). No disturbed nights. No messing around. No second time queuing. Just the annoyance of having to go up into Thamel once more.
Jhochhe was much more to my liking than Thamel. The old haunt of the overlanders in the 70's, it has an air of faded glamour about it, an area once thriving in counter-culture now bereft of the freaks that gave it the name. Though less well endowed of conveniences than Thamel, you still don't need to venture far to find whatever you need, and at about half the price. There's no hassle here, and more locals than foreigners
Also, it lay directly off Kathmandu's durbar square (every town has one; there seemed to be a dozen around Kathmandu), the main sightseeing attraction of the city, home to a bewildering conflagration of monuments, temples and palaces (and tourist junk sellers). This region is home to the Kumari, a young girl worshipped as a living goddess. Oddly, I ran into her (well, she was paraded past me) in a tiny little backstreet in Patan, a town a few kilometers distant. Apparently, by taking her photo I robbed her of her godly status. Whoops.
But to talk about the sights of Kathmandu, magnificent as they are, is almost to miss the point. There's so much going on around you all the time, it's impossible to take it all in; a rough sketch typifies the city far better than one, elaborate detail ever could. For me, my daily walk from Freak Street to Thamel, a short journey through the ever-changing lanes and alleys of this city, seemed to sum up much of Kathmandu. From my diary:
"The short-lived, high end commercial strip immediately after the monumental Durbar Square quickly gives way to a cluttered, unplanned jumble of brick and concrete
Finally, into Thamel, more white faces than brown. Gone are the tailors and backstreet dentists and samosa stalls, here it's all North Face and poorly-copied thangka and overpriced cafes; cries of "yes, taxi! taxi!" and "Sir? Tiger Balm? Sir?" whenever I glance in the wrong direction; even when I don't, the ever-present, insistent whisper "Hash?". Just for me, the daily call of "Hey, British!" I regret being polite and talking to this guy my first day in Thamel. Every day now, he tries to persuade me that we're friends, and that we should go for a drink. This time, I round on him and explain why I often won't stop to talk, why I won't go for tea, yet still he tries. He just wants to meet foreigners, he claims, he's one himself - from Mumbai, not Nepal! He has money, doesn't want mine. I explain (yet again) that if he wants to meet people, he shouldn't try it in the middle of an area rife with scams, that there are plenty of other places where foreigners will be more likely to talk

Series: Descubrir la Naturaleza / Descobrir la Natura
colour photos
Language: Catalan
Peixos Continentals de Catalunya is the first book exclusively dedicated to the fish of the fluvial systems of Catalunya, and is the result of many years of enthusiastic dedication to learning about the country's inland fish and the ecology of the habitats in which they live. The main part of the book is concerned with the identification of fish species. Each has a dedicated section with high quality photographs and information about habitat, biology, distribution and conservation status. There are 29 native species in total, along with 30 that have been introduced, living in the inland waters of Catalunya. Other chapters describe different aspects of the biology of the fish, such as morphology, growth, reproduction, feeding and behaviour, and give basic information about environmental factors that threaten them and their aquatic ecosystems.

Lucy sat up suddenly. She looked around herself to see that she was in a barren field with grass as tall as her. She stood up and began to search for any clues of why she was there. She heard a voice. The voice was singing. She ran towards it. Anything to do with music was hers.
She remembered little, but what she did brought joy. She remembered her guitar, and her piano. She stopped. What she would do to have them their with her. She imagined the feel of the strap of her guitar around her shoulder, the keys under her fingers. Her shoulders began to feel a little bit heavier. When she opened her eyes she saw her guitar around her shoulders. Not any guitar, but hers, shiny as if it were fairly new, which it really was. She looked around to see a piano on the grass. She sat down, and the wind began to blow, just as she began to play her favorite song.
She heard the voice again, this time shouting in surprise. She closed her eyes again, and let her fingers roam the keys. When she finished she picked up her guitar and began to pick out a song, her memory of music coming back little by little. She looked up to see a girl staring at her from afar. She was wearing a gray and green hoody and she was saying something, but Lucy couldn't hear her over the music and the wind. Lucy ran closer.

But founder Ashley Dobbs claims ethical bank Triodos and receivers Grant Thornton ended that dream and is claiming more than £13m in damages.
Property developer Dobbs, 43, goes to the High Court next month to put his case that Triodos pulled the plug too early and Grant Thornton was negligent in its handling of the receivership.
Dobbs, chairman of the Telework Association, which promotes working from home, planned the Crickhowell Televillage in the Brecon Beacons National Park to provide 39 homes linked to each other and the world with state-of-the-art computer networks.
Through his then company Acorn Televillages, Dobbs turned to the UK arm of Dutch bank Triodos in 1996 to help finance the project.
The village won a Royal Town Planning Institute award for innovative, sustainable housing in 1999. But, according to Dobbs' claim for damages, builder Countryside Properties fell behind schedule with the second phase of the project, blaming Acorn.
Dobbs tried to refinance Acorn, but Triodos appointed Grant Thornton as receivers in October 2000 and Dobbs claimed the receivers then blocked an attempt by him to buy back Acorn.
A spokeswoman for Grant Thornton said: 'We strongly refute allegations of negligence and wrongdoing.'
Triodos said: 'We contest Mr Dobbs' claims and are confident about the outcome of the hearing.'Reuse content

I would first add the new document version and delete the old one only if that succeeds. When the deletion of the old version fails, just try to delete the just inserted new version. having some primary key like field identifying a document (equal in both versions) one would first find out the lucene document id of the old version by querying for this key field, then insert the new version, then delete the old version using the document id from step 1. If the deletion of the old version fails, and the deletion (the 'rollback') of the just inserted new version fails too, I suppose something is wrong with the index anyway, so the two versions now existing in the index might not be your biggest problem.

Most obvious in the sky, probably the left 1/6th of the film. (And sorry for the boring image, this was a noticeable one) Film: Efke (Adox) CHS 50 Art - 35mm Developer: Adox R09, about 1/3rd of a 1l bottled used over the last couple of years, the stuff lasts forever. 3 very gentle inversions per minute, as this stuff foams easily. 9 minutes at 1:40. 20C Stop: Ilford, probably spend 30 seconds in stop while i sorted out the fix. Probably 24C room temp Fix: Ilford Rapid Fix. Cleared leader in approximately 30 seconds. Probably 24C room temp Wash: 10 minute with a parterson force wash hose. Probably about 16C by the end of it Drying: Drysonal (As i need it try by the time i leave the darkroom - don't see how this could be responsible for what looks to be overdevelopment on part of the roll) Water: Birmingham is reasonably soft water. Tap water used. Camera: F90X, Light tight and trustworthy. Shot a roll of slide film after this and results were perfect. Any thoughts?

NAMSR News: Stem Cell Breakthrough // Patient-specific Therapies for Type 1 Diabetes
A team of scientists from the New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute and Columbia University Medical Center, also in New York, claim to have created the first disease-specific embryonic stem cell line with two sets of chromosomes.
The research began in 2006 as part of an effort to make patient-specific embryonic stem cell lines from people who have type 1 diabetes.
The process behind this innovation is called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). It involves taking unfertilized donor oocytes - the immature egg cells used in reproduction - and adding to them the nuclei of adult skin cells taken from the patient.
Stem cell experiments for this project initially took place at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, with skin biopsies from the patients being performed at Columbia University Medical Center.
However, isolating cell nuclei from skin biopsies was not possible in the federally funded Columbia labs. As a solution, the New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute (NYSCF) opened its own privately-funded laboratory to complete the research - now the largest independent stem cell laboratory in the US.
By 2008, all of the research had been moved to the NYSCF lab, as Massachusetts restrictions prevented Harvard from obtaining oocytes.
In an associated news release, the NYSCF say that "the reprogramming of skin cells from a type 1 diabetes patient by SCNT has long been sought," but that progress within this field has been stymied by difficulties in obtaining oocytes for research, as well as an incomplete understanding of the biology of human oocytes.
People with type 1 diabetes are deficient in insulin and have high blood sugar levels because they lack insulin-producing beta cells. Therefore, if beta cells can be successfully produced from stem cells, they could be transplanted into diabetic patients as a treatment and potential cure. As the stem cells are made from the patient's own skin cells, they would all match the patient's DNA.
In 2011, the scientists reported that they had created the first embryonic stem cell line from human skin using nuclear transfer. However, the stem cells produced had three sets of chromosomes and could not be used as a treatment.
But the scientists have now been able to create a patient-specific embryonic stem cell line that has two sets of chromosomes, which is the normal number in human cells.
Dr. Dieter Egli, the NYSCF scientist who led the research, says: "From the start, the goal of this work has been to make patient-specific stem cells from an adult human subject with type 1 diabetes that can give rise to the cells lost in the disease. By reprogramming cells to a pluripotent state and making beta cells, we are now one step closer to being able to treat diabetic patients with their own insulin-producing cells."
However, this is not the end of this research; the success in producing the patient-specific cells only marks the completion of the first phase of the project. The next step is to develop strategies that prevent the immune systems of type 1 diabetes patients from attacking their own beta cells.
