State Government Critical & Strategic Insights
Providing advice and insight into government policy and how organisations can position themselves to best align with the direction set by the premiers strategies
Strategy Development
Using our methodology, we are able to assess the current business situation within your organisation and provide a range of options for the current and future business needs
Development for Disruption
At Gyre Digital, we not only understand innovation and the disruption it brings, but are actively looking for opportunities to disrupt business models ourselves
Business Model Transition
We use entrepreneurial and inventive approaches, people's foresight, deep thinking and prototyping to help your organisation see beyond the possibilities and show you how to create your preferable future.
Governance and Assurance
Gyre Digital understands that every organisation is different and success isn't guaranteed by simply subscribing to a set of rigid methodologies and practices.
Think you're ready? Are you sure? Think again.
At Gyre Digital, we understand current and emerging economic, social and technological trends and their impact on existing business models. For example: In a post scarcity economy, collaborative consumption, horizontal networks and the blurring of boundaries between producer and consumer are emerging, Therefore, traditional organisational constructs will be challenged, distribution capabilities will be forced to change and existing infrastructure will need to be leveraged more prudently.
Harnessing the opportunities that digital technologies offer to disrupt established ways of creating value will drive innovation and growth. As a growing demographic, post-millennial digital natives are transient, highly distracted and demand instant gratification therefore their expectations of products and services will constantly change.
In a business and consumer environment that is fast moving and often erratic, we can help to position your organisation to better anticipate the future and develop a responsive business model to meet these and other challenges.
We are skilled at opportunistic, foresight thinking to give your organisation insight into the future. Timing will be imperative to seize the opportunity and we can help you to explore and exploit new products and services to ensure your organisation is prepared.
The South Australian Government sought innovative ICT proposals from the industry through an expression of interest. Gyre Digital provided us with the insights and expertise that were critical for us to develop a compelling response to the EOI. The team from Gyre Digital was instrumental in aligning our proposal to the state's Digital by Default Strategy, its 10 economic priorities and to focus us on delivering an innovative solution that will truly modernize the South Australian Governments ICT systems and services.Vito Rinaldi
Government Insight
The team at Gyre Digital can provide expert advice and assistance to any organisation seeking to build a relationship with the state government or its agencies. We can help with the preparation of tender responses, expressions of interest and unsolicited proposals. Even if you are considering the state government and don't know where to start, we can provide the right advice, provide viable options and establish an action plan and road-map that will help you to build a relationship with government.
We believe South Australia should be the home of a world-class open source community. To ensure our dealings with South Australian Government were targeted and effective, we partnered with Gyre Digital. Their service ensured Parashift's understanding of government priorities and the messaging would resonate and support the Premier's vision of a technology focussed economy.Kieran Fitzpatrick
IT Strategy
Many organisation and agency budgets don't extend to the direct employment of a "thought leader" to provide ICT leadership.
The CIO as a Service (CIOaaS) offering is designed to provide strategic advice on the development of IT strategy, project execution and IT service delivery models.

Washington, January 7 (ANI): Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston claim to have identified the first agents that can help do away with leptin resistance in the brain, and thereby make obese people responsive to this appetite-suppressing hormone.
Dr. Umut Ozcan, of Children's Division of Endocrinology, revealed that the research team made this discovery while experimenting with mice.
During the study, the researchers observed that it is due to increased stress in a structure within the cell called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) - where proteins are assembled, folded into their appropriate configurations, and dispatched to do jobs for the cell - that leptin action in the brain gets blocked.
They also observed that using chemical chaperones to reduce ER stress could re-sensitise the brain to leptin, and lead to weight loss when used in conjunction with leptin.
"I think our study will bring new hope for the treatment for obesity," said Ozcan.
Working first with mice made obese through a high-fat diet, the researchers showed that the animals developed ER stress in the hypothalamus, the main area of the brain where leptin signals. That, according to the team, initiated the unfolded-protein response and rendered the mice extremely leptin-resistant.
The researchers also created a strain of mice whose ER was weakened in the brain through deletion of a gene called XPB1 specifically in the neurons, that developed ER stress and leptin resistance, and also became obese despite having some of the highest leptin levels ever reported. The mice also ate more and gained more weight.
However, when the researchers pre-treated either group of mice with a chemical chaperone (either 4-PBA or TUDCA) leptin sensitivity increased as much as 10-fold, and the animal had significant weight loss with leptin treatment even when fed a high-fat diet.
The researchers are hoping to eventually move their discovery to human trials, as both 4-PBA and TUDCA are safe in humans and already FDA-approved for clinical use.
An article describing their study has been published in the journal Cell Metabolism. (ANI)

Beer and the great outdoors — It's a natural pairing
As our spring-like weather turns into a full-fledged, fully-colorful spring, I am reminded (no surprise here) that beer and mother nature go hand in hand.
Even as teenager, I was keenly aware of the fact that, "From the land of sky-blue waters. From the land of pines; lofty balsams, comes the beer refreshing — Hamm's, the beer refreshing."
Growing up in Colorado, I also knew from an early age that Coors beer was brewed with clean, clear Rocky Mountain spring water.
Then, early in my advertising career, I found myself writing ads (almost in the same breath) for Anheuser-Busch brands, Budweiser, Michelob and Natural Light — and America's wholesome outdoor supplier, Coleman camping gear.
That's about the time that I saw the light (from a Coleman lantern) that beer and the Great Outdoors go hand in hand.
A few years later, the first craft breweries opened, starting a revolution in America that brought what seemed to me at the time, more flavorful beers.
My brother, Rob, was my first mentor in those days. He was a prolific home brewer, and favored stronger ales, porters and stouts. I tasted, I liked and even briefly tried my hand at home brewing.
(Ask Carol about my incredible, exploding amber ale.)
Fast-forward to present time, when Carol and I find ourselves in Western North Carolina, smack-dab in the middle of craft beer heaven. And it's our privilege and blessing to write about all the new beers, new breweries and new developments in WNC and Beer City, USA.
Yes, great craft beer is everywhere in WNC, and the brewers frequently pay homage to North Carolina's great geography and ecology by naming beers after the abundance of nature all around us.
For example, Catawba Brewing in Morganton and Asheville takes its name and starts most of its brews with the incredibly clean water of the Catawba River, which is naturally very soft, low in minerals and almost free of bicarbonates.
According to Catawba's head brewer, Kevin Sondey, "The water is close to 'Pilzen' quality,"
The term 'Pilzen' refers to the city of Pilzen in Bohemia, Czech Republic, where the Pilsner (or Pils) beer style originated.
Closer to home, Waynesville's BearWaters Brewing, was originally named HeadWaters Brewing, a clear reference to the headwaters of the Nantahala River. Oh yes, and Bryson City's Nantahala Brewing is obviously named after the Nantahala River and is located just a stone's throw from this incredibly clean water source.
Continuing in river mode, you can include French Broad Brewing in Asheville, or switch to mountain and forest references with other NC breweries like Foothills Brewing, Pisgah Brewing and Sierra Nevada Brewing. (Oops — those mountains are in California)
And lets not forget the brewery that started it all in Asheville — Highland Brewing. With a little 'fling' and with a love of beer and mountains, Highland has partnered with the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy (SAHC) to focus attention on protected land features and raise awareness about the natural wonders of the Appalachian landscape.
Highland's new winter-into-spring saison, for example, is named after the Saw-Whet owl, which can be found on lands protected by the SAHC in North Carolina and Tennessee. The Saw-Whet is the smallest predatory owl in the eastern U.S. and can be spotted perched among high-elevation conifers during the winter months.
Other Highland seasonals named after features of the Appalachian landscape include: Clawhammer Oktoberfest — named after Clawhammer Mountain and the Clawhammer trail; Devil's Britches IPA; Lost Cove Kolsch; Early's Hoppy Wheat and the legendary Cold Mountain Winter Ale.
And what symbol of nature is more universal than the Green Man — this iconic representation of nature is found in numerous cultures throughout the world. It is a symbol of rebirth and the cycle of new growth each spring. Oh yes, Green Man is also the name of a great brewery in Asheville, which is currently having its own renaissance, opening the 'Greenmansion' on Asheville's South Slope.
I could go on and on citing NC breweries with names linked to nature. There's Frog Level Brewing, named after the historic Frog Level area of Waynesville where frogs gathered after a storm. Now families gather to enjoy good craft beer in a natural setting along Richland Creek.
And while we're on the subject of animal-inspired brewery names, there are Duck Rabbit, Sneak-E-Squirrel, Blind Squirrel breweries and even one brewery named after the legendary cross between Bigfoot and a gem miner — the mythical Boojum.
Finally, (though I could go on forever) several NC breweries pay homage to ingredients in their brews, most notably, Twin Leaf Brewery and Wicked Weed in Asheville.
I'll wrap with a toast to Mother Nature's hops that continue to inspire brewers and a nod to England's Henry VIII, who referred to hops, bitterly, as "…a wicked and pernicious weed."

A GROUP among 20 workers dramatically rescued from a collapsed Nicaraguan gold mine have joined frantic efforts to find eight comrades still missing.
The rescued men were hauled out of the unlicensed gold mine one-by-one late on Friday after being buried in a collapse at the unlicensed pit a day earlier.
After speaking with relatives of the trapped miners, officials reported at first that five were still trapped.
They later determined that three more miners — who did not have relatives in the area to report their disappearance to officials — had failed to return from the mine after the mishap.
After being treated in hospital overnight, several of the men were discharged on Saturday and swiftly joined efforts to locate eight men still feared trapped.
"The boys spent the night under observation in the hospital, where they were treated for dehydration," said Gregorio Rocha, a spokesman for the mining company HEMCO which is involved in rescue efforts.
"The hospital treatment gave them the energy and some are now working to find the missing," he told AFP.
Rocha described the rescue of the 20 workers on Friday as a "great achievement," although he lamented that they have failed so far to rescue the others.
The workers were evacuated from the collapsed mine using a pulley system.
An AFP photographer at the scene described the survivors as "exhausted, dehydrated, muddy and dirty".
They were immediately embraced by family members and taken to the nearest hospital.
Pictures from the scene showed some of the miners, wrapped in blankets, lying on stretchers or the backs of trucks surrounded by ecstatic loved ones.
The accident happened at a mine near the town of Bonanza, which is perched on the side of a hill in a region that is home to Nicaragua's biggest gold mines.
The mine caved in because of a landslide triggered by heavy downpours, early on Thursday morning.
Antonio Diaz said the miners tried to cheer each other up inside the dark, cold shaft, attacking the slide with their picks and shovels by the light of helmet lamps. But after 24 hours, they began feeling hungry and some started losing hope.
"The sadness of feeling yourself trapped in a hole is immense but I never lost hope," said the 32-year-old miner from a hospital bed in the town of Bonanza, near the El Comal gold and silver mine.
"I kept thinking I was too young to die and above all, I thought about my two daughters."
He said the miners finally cut a hole through the blockage and started shouting, but at first there was no answer.
"Hours later, someone heard us, and when he answered us we felt life returning to our bodies," Diaz said.
"God had answered our pleas to keep living."
Bonanza Mayor Alexander Alvarado, a former miner who participated in the rescue efforts, said it took about 100 men working around the clock to reach those trapped and even then, it took about another two hours to bring the first miner out to safety.
"We kept telling them their families were waiting for them and to know that God was with them and was giving them a second chance in life," Alvarado said.
Interior Vice Minister Carlos Najar said they were a bit dehydrated but in good health.
Rosario Murillo, Nicaragua's first lady and government spokeswoman, said all 20 miners had been released from the hospital by Saturday afternoon.
Hundreds of relatives and fellow miners prayed outside the mine on Friday night as rescuers lined up ladders along a 300-foot long tunnel leading toward where the men were trapped. The mine cuts into the side of a mountain and then goes upward.
The gold and silver mine is on a concession held by Hemco, which is owned by Colombia-based Minero SA. But the trapped miners themselves are freelancers allowed to work in the area if they sell any gold they find to the firm, mining company spokesman Gregorio Downs told the Associated Press.
Downs said the company had warned miners about the danger of working in the El Comal area, especially after two miners died in a rain-caused landslide there last month.
"We live by extracting mineral from Hemco. They told us digging here was risky, but sometimes one is willing to risk it for a few more cents," said Absalon Toledo, leader of the informal miners.
According to the Hemco's website, the company has mined in the north Atlantic municipality since 1995 and employs 532 workers, who process 700 tons of material a day.
The company says it produces more than 1150kg (37,000 troy ounces) of gold a year and is Nicaragua's 12th largest exporter.

Sushi is one of my favorite dinners out. Bagels and lox is my favorite hangover food. And, obviously, sandwiches are my favorite food of all time. So this smoked salmon and avocado sandwich with wasabi cream cheese is impossible for me to resist.<iframe width="620" height="350" frameborder="0" src="https://www.popsugar.com/psvn/embed?video=31209838&width=620&height=350" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I recently made this sandwich on POPSUGAR Live (video evidence above) and used pumpernickel bread, which was delicious but still not quite as great as this German rye bread. Either way, I had to increase the wasabi ratio by about 50 percent, and I'd recommend you do the same if you are partial to the green mustard.

This review is from: ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
I have Comcast and I have not had a single problem yet.
It worked.
none really.
Other Thoughts:
I was skeptical about spending 100$ to upgrade from my 4 year old moto modem. The jump from DOCSIS 2.0-3.0 is surprising. I pay for the 50mb from Comcast and when I would use netflix/hulu on 2 TV's and surf at the same time I could notice a drop in quality and lag. After I upgraded, I have no issues streaming to 3+ devises and surfing.
Also, It helps a heck of a lot to have a very good router. I user that nighthawk net gear one and I love it.

Ahh yes, a romantic honeymoon…think of it as an extended celebration for YOU, a newly married couple! While indulging in any honeymoon is fun, we particularly LOVE the idea of escaping to Europe. Not only is it super romantic, it can also be incredibly hassle-free.
This is why we love honeymoons in Europe.
It's incredibly Romantic: Whether it's London, Paris, Rome, or anywhere else in between, Europe is an incredibly expansive region with an old-world charm. This makes it an incredibly romantic destination. After all, romance is what makes a honeymoon a memorable one!
Sights will never be the same: Europe is a region that possesses a distinct history and each country has a different story to tell. The uniqueness of each region can be seen through its cityscapes, so no destination will ever be the same! You can pretty much venture from city to city and experience something different every time.
Speaking of sights…they are BEAUTIFUL!: Without a doubt, Europe is an awe-inspiring place. It is where old-world meets the new and where rich history is immortalized in the aesthetics of each destination. Whether natural landscapes or the modern city sights, Europe offers a visual treat for honeymooners everywhere.
Freedom: With so many countries conveniently and closely to one another, Europe is a place where travel is boundless. Not only are you given complete freedom to travel from destination-to-destination, but your method of travel is completely open to whatever you wish! Whether you are river cruising along the untapped waterways or taking it to the roads on a guided tour, a honeymoon in Europe means complete freedom to travel wherever and however you want.
It's Europe: We can go on and on about why honeymoons in Europe are fantastic…but it really comes down to this one simple reason! This is a stunning place that offers sights, sounds, and cultures, unlike any other destination. While your hearts are bound together as a married couple, you can be sure that you'll leave a piece of it in Europe.
Interested in a romantic honeymoon to Europe? Speak to one of our Destination Wedding & Romance Travel Specialists at 1-866-685-6008 or email us at email@example.com for more information!


text: Achieves Highest Possible Scores in Key Areas that Underpin the Company's Information Exchange Solutions, including OCR Support, Multichannel Input and Mobile Capture WATERLOO, ON, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a leading provider of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) software and solutions, today announced that Forrester Research, Inc. has ranked the company as a Leader in its recently released, "The Forrester Wave™: Multichannel Capture, Q3 2012" research. According to the report, "Capture has extended beyond the single dimension of paper scanning…to become the multichannel, distributed onramp for acquiring information." Further underscoring this trend, Forrester predicts that in the next five years, capture will incorporate advanced analytics, mobile solutions, business process management (BPM) and case management, and stronger integration with enterprise production platforms. In the report, Forrester analysts and report authors Craig LeClair and Alan Weintraub observe that "OpenText's capture solutions are part of a single, integrated family that is designed, built, and deployed as part of a comprehensive, end-to-end business solution. Capture is a building block of the OpenText ECM Suite and overall product portfolio strategy, including OpenText Business Process Solutions." The analysts also write, "OpenText will continue to enhance a product strategy that distinctly articulates the integration of capture into its business solutions." The report further states that "Application-specific use cases tie closely with business process management, such as the requirement to move data from paper invoices into an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system." OpenText is identified as one of three vendors evaluated in the report who target this segment. For this report, Forrester evaluated eight top multichannel capture vendors against 18 criteria across three main areas: vendors' current offering, strategy and market presence. OpenText was one of three vendors to achieve a score of four or higher (out of five) in both strategy and current offering categories. The company earned the highest possible scores in more than half of the criteria focused on current offering, including business process management, OCR support, document classification, multichannel input and mobile capture. In this evaluation, Forrester also recognizes OpenText as a leader in the SAP market, the only one fully endorsed by SAP.

Special Needs Registry
Special Needs Registry (pdf) - www.specialneedspa.org
Bucks, Chester and Montgomery Counties have jointly developed this registry to allow citizens with special needs and their associates an opportunity to provide information to emergency response agencies, so emergency responders can better plan to serve them in a disaster or other emergencies.For the purpose of this project, a special needs individual is someone who cannot receive, understand or act upon emergency protective orders.The information collected here will not be available to the public. The information will be held securely and only accessed for the purpose of emergency response and planning.Please be as complete as possible in your responses. You will be e-mailed periodically to verify and ensure the information provided is correct and to make any necessary changes. Individual surveys will be archived after one year if not verified, and facility surveys will be archived after six months if not verified.
ReadyMontco (formerly ReadyNotify)
In July 2015, Montgomery County updated its system for sending emergency alerts to residents via call, text and email from ReadyNotify to ReadyMontco. To continue receiving alerts and to gain access to the new system's improved features, subscribers had to update their existing account or open a new one.
The improved ReadyMontco system offers several new options:• Selecting as many or few alerts as desired for emergencies, weather, traffic and more.• Receiving alerts via cell phone, email, text, home landline, work phone or new Mobile Member app.• Selecting alerts for a specific address and other sites of interest.• Specifying particular times during the day when a subscriber would prefer to block weather notifications.
Some of the notification topics available include:• Severe weather warnings, including tornado watches/warnings.• Traffic disruptions, such as major collisions and road closures.• Shelter-in-place and evacuation information.• Significant water main breaks.• Significant law enforcement or fire/rescue incidents impacting the community.
When an incident or emergency occurs, authorized senders will notify subscribers through ReadyMontco. This gives subscribers a direct connection to updates and instructions on where to go, what to do, what not to do, whom to contact and other important information. To learn more or to sign up to receive the alerts, visit www.ReadyMontco.org or call 610-631-6530.
Business Registry
The purpose of Emergency Management is to plan for and coordinate resources within the Township in the event of an emergency. The Emergency Management Team is currently updating contact information for businesses in Cheltenham Township. All business operators should fill out the form (pdf file) and mail it to:
Cheltenham Township Emergency Management8230 Old York RoadElkins Park, PA 19027-1589.
The information will be used only in case of emergency by the Emergency Management team and will be kept confidential. Please notify Emergency Management of any changes in the information by phone 215-887-6200, ext. 510 or email.
Emergency Management team members may contact business operators directly to update the information.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Chapter ThirteenMature
Isolation was exactly what the word said it was. Pure, complete isolation from any living being. Each day was spent locked in that small, cramped room. There was a narrow, small bed along one wall, and a toilet in the corner. That was it. The only times I came into contact with another person was when they passed food in through the door.
It was hell. Just me, four blank walls, and my thoughts. The voices did not leave me alone. They were there; a constant whisper.
This place is not good for you. They are punishing you. They are destroying you. You need to leave. Then you can be alone with me. I'm the only one who cares for you.
I didn't even bother fighting them. I couldn't escape. The walls did nothing to quell my rage; they simply exacerbated it. I felt my soul slowly eroding as the days passed, as my rage slowly enabled my descent into madness; as the voices took control, as my mind focused on all the negatives.
Each day passed the same. I woke at some indeterminable hour and it was dark. I sat alone on the running the current situation through my mind, thinking about what would happen when I got out of isolation. I now had two enemies in the institute, and I had given Camilla an enemy when I told Kate the truth. A storm was coming my way; that was for sure.
I would get three meals each day; I would receive a bowl of cereal in the morning, a sandwich for lunch, and a ready-made meal for dinner.
On day fourteen of my monotony, the door opened and Dr. Evans entered with my bowl of cereal. She placed it on the bed beside me and sat down. The lights clicked on; he control was outside.
"Eat Logan". I took up the bowl and ate the cereal, taking my time. It was gone within minutes. Dr. Evans watched me the entire time. When I was done she took the bowl and passed it to an orderly outside the door. Then she sat back down.
"Logan" she said, "You have been in isolation for two weeks now. I think it is time you were released and allowed back to the rest of the institution. But first we need to discuss your outburst".
"Do we really?"
"Yes. You hurt another patient; you hurt yourself. Your anger was very bad Logan".
"I was provoked".
"That is no excuse Logan. You cannot assault your fellow patients".
"I was provoked" I said again.
"How? How were you provoked?"
"I don't want to talk about it".
"Well Logan you are either going to have to tell me, or you will have to accept that you were in the wrong".
"Fine. If that is what it takes. I was in the wrong".
"You'll have to apologise".
"Of course".
"Good. Come back upstairs with me now. You will be required to stay in your own room until this evening after you have apologised".
"Let's go". We stood and left the isolation room. Dr. Evans and one of the orderlies escorted me up the stairs to the ground floor. Damien was waiting at the reception. I walked over to him, gritting my teeth.
"Sorry for hitting you" I said.
"Yeah. Cool" was the reply.
"Okay. Now up to your room Logan".
I walked up the stairs; Dr. Evans behind me. We passed Camilla on the stairs. She stopped me.
"Logan! How are you?" she asked.
"Logan can't talk right now. Wait until this evening" Dr. Evans asked.
"Fine" Camilla said. She was smiling. "I've got big news for you Logan. I'll tell you later".
"Okay" I said. She went off downstairs and Dr. Evans escorted me the rest of the way back to my room. She held the door open for me and I went inside and laid down on the bed.
"We will bring you your evening meal at six, and after that you may re-join the others downstairs".
She left me alone in the room. I closed my eyes and slept; the first decent sleep I'd had since they committed me to isolation. It was dreamless; I simply slept for hour upon hour upon hour. I was woken by a movement at the end of my bed. Camilla was sitting down holding out a plate of spaghetti.
"They let me bring you your dinner" she smiled. I sat up and took the plate; and I ate it all in a matter of minutes.
"Thanks" I said, smiling back at her. "What's this news you have for me?"
"Oh yeah that" she said. "I think you should go up to the roof at eight. I'll tell you up there". She stood up and left the room; practically bouncing out. She looked back just before closing the door and smiled again.
I passed the next two hours doing nothing; just listening to music. Once it turned quarter to eight I left my room and walked through the corridors and up the stairs to the top floor. Then I took the short stairs to the door to the roof and pushed it open. After a quick scan of the roof, it was clear I was alone. I walked across to the edge and looked out at the night sky. Once again I could see Blackrock in the distance.
Five minutes passed and there was no sign of Camilla. I wondered what her news was. It must have been something big with all the secrecy. I heard the door opening behind me and turned to greet her. It wasn't Camilla. I blinked twice; unable to believe my eyes. Surely they were playing a trick on me.
"Hi Logan" she said with a shy smile.
"Hi" I replied.

A progressive publisher, Enio Silveira (a sort of Brazilian Victor Gollancz), decided that the newly unemployed linguist needed some economic help and grandly commissioned him to do the translation of a book difficult enough to challenge his philological reputation. Houaiss worked full-time for a year, and in 1966 Silveira published one of the best translations ever of James Joyce's Ulysses.
From then on Houaiss would become a specialist in massive scholarly tours de force. He was the chief editor of the three main encyclopaedias in Portuguese, as well as dictionaries and reference books. At the time of his death he was working on another gargantuan project, a "General Dictionary of the Portuguese Language" that would include every word used by Portuguese- speaking peoples in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
An old idea first sketched in 1986, the new dictionary became a reality as a result of the recent campaign for the multinational orthographic unification of the Portuguese language. The dictionary, which is 95 per cent finished, will have about 300,000 entries, almost twice as many as its best predecessor, and is due to be published next year as part of the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of Brazil's discovery by the Portuguese. Since his death it has been renamed the "Houaiss dictionary".
Although worn lightly, Houaiss's erudition was formidable. I remember several lunches in Rio de Janeiro in the Seventies at which staff members and contributors to his encyclopaedias - including some of the greatest Brazilian essayists, scholars and historians of the time - were present, and Houaiss presided with natural authority. If his opinions on literature or politics were sometimes disputed, everyone deferred to him as far as food and drink were concerned - he was the author of a major contribution to national gastronomy (Magia ba cozinha brasileira, "The Magic of Brazilian Cuisine", 1979), and the foremost authority on beer in Brazil (A cerveja e seus misterios, "Beer and its Mysteries", 1986).
To a large extent, Houaiss was a self-taught man. He was born in 1915, the fifth of seven children of Lebanese immigrants. His father ran a haberdashery shop in Copacabana, where he grew up, when it was the heart of Rio de Janeiro, then Brazil's capital. But as a 12-year-old he preferred the company of an anarchist Portuguese tailor who indulged his curiosity about literature and radical politics. First he studied book-keeping in an academy of commerce (graduating in 1933), and soon afterwards joined the classical studies department of Universidade do Brasil, where he graduated in 1942.
His first jobs were teaching Portuguese, Latin and literature in order to pay for his studies. He became a diplomatist by the back door: after getting a job teaching in the cultural department of the Foreign Ministry he was sent to Uruguay from 1943 to 1945 to teach Portuguese and Brazilian culture. That gave him the break to pass the diplomatic concourse in 1945, becoming a vice-consul in Geneva from 1947 to 1949; there he represented Brazil at several United Nations organisations.
His left-wing ideas soon became a hindrance to his diplomatic career. Labelled as a "Communist", although he never joined the Party, he was passed over promotion to the United States and sent instead to a diplomatic backwater, the Dominican Republic. There, from 1949 to 1951, he had his second first-hand experience of a dictatorship, under the government of the Generalissimo Lenidas Trujillo. His first had been in Brazil, under Getlio Vargas's fascistic "Estado Novo" in the Thirties.
In 1951 he returned to the mainstream with a two-year posting in Athens, and finally in New York, where he worked at the Brazilian mission to the United Nations from 1960 to 1964. Immediately after the April 1964 military coup, Houaiss was forced into early retirement and expelled from the diplomatic service, as well as being deprived of his political rights for 10 years. Already in the Fifties, while serving in Athens, he had been put into "inactive availability" - paid but not employed and unable to apply for any other post - together with other left-wing diplomatists. It wasn't until 1990 that the then Presidente Collor reinstated Houaiss in the diplomatic corps as an ambassador for the purpose of retirement benefits.
Though an open Socialist militant, Antonio Houaiss was never involved in politics proper. Under the presidency of Juscelino Kubitschek (1956- 61) he was a presidential adviser, and later, under Itamar Franco (1992- 94) he was Culture Minister. Ironically, it was as a political "non-person" during the authoritarian period from 1964 to 1989 that Houaiss, with other intellectuals, became a symbol of civic resistance.
After a brief spell as an editorial writer in the national daily Correio da Manha (1964-65), he returned to scholarly activity as editor-in-chief of the Delta-Larousse Encyclopaedia (12 volumes, published in the mid- 1960s), and the Mirador Encyclopaedia (20 volumes, 1975). As a philologist he also wrote two bilingual Portuguese-English dictionaries, including the two-volume Webster dictionary in 1982.
He was a scholarly editor, starting with the critical edition of the works of the turn-of-the-century novelist Lima Barreto (1956), as well as of other classic Brazilian writers. Houaiss was also an influential critic, from early volumes such as Crtica Avulsa ("Selected Essays", 1960) to Drummond, mais seis poetas e um problema ("Drummond, Six More Poets and a Problem", 1976), where he totally renewed the critical vision of the work of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Brazil's leading poet.
Antonio Houaiss, philologist, diplomatist and writer: born Rio de Janeiro 15 October 1915; married 1942 Ruth Marques de Salles (died 1988); died Rio de Janeiro 7 March 1999.

Masonite 2 panel interior doors.
The door from my bedroom into the master bath opens into the bath. It interfers with my closet door in the bathroom. A pocket door would be a resolution but too messy. I am thinking of replacing the 28 inch door with two 14 inch doors and have them open into the bedroom. These doors would not take up much room inside my master bedroom because it is good size. Don't sure I can get two 14 inch doors. It would work like french doors from the master bedroom to the bathroom. Do you think this is possible. Thans you.
I know you can get bifold doors to fit a 30" opening but a 28"???
You may get into difficulties with the edge blocking thickness if you cut them down by too much. Then there is nothing to screw your hinges to.
Check on door availability in your area first.
Hanging beads and sitar music might be funky :laughing:
We did something very similar in our house.
We replaced most of the bifold doors in our house with two regular doors and now each opens up like french doors. Our front entryway closet was a single bifold door and we put two regular doors in the opening. It looks great and works so much better than the bifolds.
I just can't remember what the width of that closet and I am at work so I can't measure it.
In fact we did the same with our bathroom. One single door would have been an obstacle but with two doors they are very inobtrusive. I think we went with a 36inch opening and therefore two 18inch doors for the bathroom.
So yes, I think it will work and look good too.

Ever since a blacksmith from Vermont named Thomas Davenport invented the motor engine--which was DC powered--in 1833, inventors all around the world have come up with new and innovative mechanical devices used by millions of people.
The Job
An electric motor is a machine which converts all of the electric energy into new, usable mechanical energy. The generated electrical current travels through a rotating wire loop which is held within a magnetic field. The loop then directs the usable electric energy to the necessary components to produce a working power source.
Electric Motor Energy Storage
Electrical energy that is created for electric motor usage is stored within a battery or cell. The rechargeable batteries used within an electric motor do not release pollution into the atmosphere and not only release electrons through an electric motor but can also collect new generated electrons, created through the workings of an electric motor.
Usage in the U.S.
In the United States alone, 19 percent of all the energy sources--such as gas, electricity, etc.--are used solely by electric motor systems. This also amounts to a total of 57 percent of the generated electricity made for the 307,539,325 citizens of the United States. These electric motor systems are used by home appliances, vehicles and within industries.
AC versus DC
Electric motors can produce two types of electric currents: are alternating currents (AC) and direct currents (DC). Direct current electric energy is usually used within appliances and smaller motors; alternating current is mainly used for larger vehicles. This is because AC electric motors are able to produce higher levels of working energy sources.
Parts of a Motor Engine
The parts of an electric motor are minimal in quantity but each part has a vital job to perform. The parts of an electric motor are the armature or rotor, axle, brushes, commutator, field magnet and the AC or DC power source. The magnet field supplies rotational motion to the armature or rotor. The armature is held by the axle as well as the commutator. The commutator and the brushes of an electric motor aid in the flow of electricity from the motor.

ith the costs of higher education continuing to soar, many colleges and universities are looking for innovative ways to lower expenses, while simultaneously pursuing their long-term sustainability goals. The University of New Hampshire (UNH) is proving that both objectives are, indeed, achievable.
Signatories to the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment, as of mid-May. --ACUPCC annual report
Portion of current campus sustainability positions created in 2007 or later. --AASHE Higher Education Sustainability Staffing Survey
Amount of carbon dioxide reduced by ACUPCC institutions. --2010 ACUPCC annual report
The green movement focuses on four factors: clean energy, energy efficiency, environmentally friendly production, and the conservation and reduction of waste materials. Information technology offices at institutions can exercise great control in energy efficiency benefitting not only the institution, but the surrounding community as well.
Karli Green, Senior Product Manager, Campus Management:
"Pilot programs at many institutions show that you can save money and the environment at the same time.
Overlooking the Hudson River, this tech center helps orient the Marist College (N.Y.) campus to the river and will help enforce the role of technology across disciplines.
It's rare to even hear about a single new campus building these days that wasn't built with sustainability principles in mind. Inevitably, institutional officials are learning not to reinvent the wheel every time a new construction project comes up. Creating a green building policy is one way of ensuring sustainability is a collective goal--a goal that will likely benefit future project design teams.
There was a time, and not all that long ago, when many organizations looked at energy costs as a fixed cost of doing business over which they had little control. But rising energy prices, coupled with a challenging economic environment and an increasing focus on carbon reduction, have grabbed American leaders by the shoulders and shaken them into a greater state of consciousness when it comes to energy.
This issue marks our sixth annual "green guide," looking at sustainability trends and technologies at campuses around the country. Some students even base enrollment decisions on an institution's commitment to the environment. "Green" and "sustainability" seem to have become ingrained in the collective higher education consciousness--which, of course, was the idea all along. This was brought home to me in a conversation I had with Karli Grant, a product manager for Campus Management.
Colleges and universities essentially operate as self-contained small cities, providing huge amounts of energy to its campuses, in increasing amounts, all day, every day. The higher education sector owns and operates tens of thousands of buildings, owns millions of acres of land and spends nearly $10 billion each year on energy.
For six years each June, University Business editors have been sharing snapshots of sustainability efforts taking place at campuses across the country. As green continues to grow in popularity, institutional efforts and the collective impact of those efforts continue to impress.
Just one example is the combined 1.2 billion kilowatt-hours of green power purchased annually by the Top 20 College & University list from the Green Power Partnership. It's the equivalent of powering nearly 103,000 average American homes.
It is becoming more and more fashionable to claim a greener identity, and it seems college students everywhere are excited to help the environment, particularly when their actions are visible to others. When questioned about reducing the carbon footprint at Bentley University (Mass.), for instance, I've been asked, "When are we going to install wind turbines?"

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 26, 1984, New Braunfels, Texas o ^^JHonolulu HAWAII Chaminade does it again Sports Hvrald-Ztitung Wednesday, December 26, 1984 6A Chaminade knocks off SMU, 71-70 HONOLULU (AP) Chaminade Coach Mere Lopes compares ins unlikely giant-killers to a song that, at least for the moment, is No. I on the hit parade. •Not too many people believe in Chaminade, not year in and year out," Lopes said. "One upset and then they tend to forget you, you disappear from their memory. It's like a hit song. So we just want to keep on reminding them we are for real." Chaminade, a tiny NMA school, surfaced for the third Christmas in a row to make believers of major-college basketball. After an upset of then-12th ranked Louisville in the first round, the SUverswords won their own Western Airlines Chaminade Basketball Classic on Tuesday with a 71-70 stunner over fourth-ranked Southern .Methodist. "Kverv team is even when the game starts," loupes said. "I don't let us put anybody on a pedestal. We start side by side." In 1082. Chaminade shocked the basketball world with an upset of then top-ranked Virginia, then followed a year later with an upset of Louisville. But Lopes said the win over previously unbeaten SMU may have been the biggest victory yet. "This was bigger than Virginia because each game we build on what happened the game before," he said. "Virginia built us up for Louisville, which built us up for SMU. But it all started with Virginia. "We prepare mentally for each game. We had put the Louisville upset out of our minds at Sunday s practice and concentrated on SMU from then." For a time Tuesday. it looked as if Chaminade's magic would finally ffiil. SMU held a 70-69 lead when Carl Wright blocked a shot by Chaminade's Mark Kodngues with nine seconds to go. After a scramble, Wright came up with the ball as the final second ticked off the clock. But Wright's foot was out of bounds and, because the buzzer hadn't sounded, the game officials gave Chaminade the opportunity to try a final shot. That's all the chance Chaminade needed. Ms the buzzer sounded, Keith Whitney's 20-foot shot bounced on the run and fell through for the winning points. It was the lith victory rn 15 games for the SUverswords. "I let it go as soon as I touched it," said Whitney, who scored all but two of his 21 points in the second half. "I wanted to 'soft' it up to the basket. . .I knew it was going in when it bounced and then everyone came running at me." "Nice baseline shot." said SMU Coach Dave Bliss, whose club lost for the first time in IO games. "The referees were right all the way. The buzzer must go off. You have to play until that buzzer goes off because you don't know how much time is left." In the tournament's consolation game, All-American Wayman Tisdale scored 28 points to go over the 2,000-point career plateau in leading No. 17 Oklahoma to a 90-72 romp over 20th-ranked Louisville. Whitney, Wright and Tisdale were named to the all-tournament team along with Louisville's Billy Thompson and Rodrigues, whose last-second shot beat louisville iii the opening round. SMU's Jon Koncak, who scored 24 points in the title game, was named most valuable player. Tisdale, with 2,009 points, needs 107 points to surpass the Big Eight career record of 2,115 owned by Kansas State's Mike Evans. Oklahoma was forced to go to what Coach Billy Tubbs called "a spread offense" when Tisdale fouled out in the second half. "Wayman was having a great day," >aid Tubbs. "It's a shame he got two really picky fouls called on him that takes him out of the game. He's the most-abused-by-the-defense play er in the country. "I thought the key was going to the four corners when we got into foul trouble. We probably haven't spent lo minutes practicing on that all year because you can't use it in the Big Eight. DFP ARK HF RAIO /I The Texas Longhorns' defense will need consistenly tough defense 'onight to go out on a winning note Texas, Iowa mixing work, play ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Two teams that .suffered through poor finishes in the regular football season are looking to the inaugural Freedom Bow I as an opportunity to erase some of the bad memories.

Kaveiz has yet to hear anything from professional scouts, but after Tuesday's kic king performance, he said: "Even if I end up not being good enough, it won't be the end of my life." Rice, the game's most valuable play er and a member of The Associated Press Division LAA All-America team, caught four passes for IGI yards, one a 60-yard touc hdown throw from Alabama halfback Paul OU Carruth. The Gray, with C'lemson's Mike Eppley and Vanderbilt's Kurt Page directing the offense, pounded out 233 yards rushing and 251 yards passing, while the South defenders held the Blue offense to seven y ards on the ground and 193 passing.

And in the boys' division, Smithson Valley's Andy Henshaw completed an amazing comeback from a serious neck injury to finish second in the state in both the shot put and discus. Four local athletes qualified for the girls' state meet, while Henshaw and Smithson Valley \s Darren Gray qualified for a trip to the boys meet. Whitaker's third trip to Austin led the local girls' performances in the spring, as she also finished second in the 1,600 at the state meet The long-distance marvel accepted a scholarship to attend Bice at the end of the season Canyon won its first medal at the girls' state meet when sophomore Nancy Tieken rallied to finish third in the 800 meters. Tieken was sixth after the race's first lap, but wound up with a 2:17.7 for the medal Smithson Valley's Kim Huntsucker, meanwhile, just missed a medal when she finished fourth in the Class JA 400 meters. Huntsucker ran a personal-best 58.9. New Braunfels' Teresa Thomas also ran 58.9 in finishing sixth in the 4A 400 meters. Thomas missed half the track season but still qualified for state. Smithson Valley's girls, with no seniors on the squad, raced to a third-place finish at the District 26-3A meet at Randolph. Rangerettes winning district titles were Shalynn McCoy (8801984The year in sports and triple jump), Kiln Wagner (IOO hurdles), Huntsucker and the team of Tammy Wilcut, McCoy, Wagner and Huntsucker (1,600 relay), New Braunfels' girls finished third in the district meet, but lost Kourtney Kahler at the district meet when she finished third in the 800 and third in the 1,600. Jana Chafin finished third in three events at district as well. The Unicorns sent two relays to the regional meet — the 400 relay team of Thomas, Chafin, Michelle Sirnmonds and Virginia Hildebrand and the 1,600 relay of Thomas, Hildebrand, Chafin and Kahier. Both teams were second in district. Canyon's girls were fifth at the district meet, and the Cougarettes sent Tieken, who also went in the high jump, and Stephanie Burch (400) to regionals. On the boys' side, Henshaw finished his career as the region's top shot putter and the No. 2 man in the discus. He came back from a ligament injury in his neck to dominate his events the last two years. Gray made a return trip to the state meet in the 800 meters, finishing fifth in a personal-best 1:56.8. The Bangers, behind the expected performances of Henshaw and Gray, and unexpected finishes by Clark Hamlet i first in the 3,200), Eutiino Trigo (second in the 3,200) and Butch liegeman (second in the high jump), finished third at the district meet with 92 points. The 1,600 relay team of Bonnie Higdon, Bubba Wisdom, Mike Sherwood and Gray also qualified for regional by finishing second. Smithson Valley's junior varsity team gave its notice to tile entire district by winning the JV division with a whopping 205 points. At the 16-4A boys' meet iii Kerrville, New Braunfels finished third and Canyon fourth. The biggest disappointment at the meet came when Lockhart edged the Cougars in the 1,600 relay, ending the season for one of the area's fastest relays. Canyon's best time of the season, a 3:27, would have qualified the Cougars for the state meet if they had reached regionals. Canyon's Mike I-eal scored the school's first district double, winning the 1,600 and 3,200, and then finished third in the 1,600 at regionals. Mauro Alvizo teamed with Ix.*al in the 3,200, and they finished 5-6 at rf gionals. New Braunfels' Kenan Ikels won the district pole vault, with teammate Greg Bender second and Canyon's Glenn Nemec third. Ikels finished third at regionals. The Unicorns' Kraig Krause topped his personal best by 22 inches to win the shot put at Kerrville, and he was fourth in the regionals. In cross country this fall, Canyon junior Rhonda I<auck returned to the state meet, where she battled wind and chilly conditions to finish 34th. NANCY TIEKEN .. .returning state medalist ;

Shadows And NightmaresMature
Rin is a normal 16 year old girl. Well, as normal as you can be when you're a demon hunter, whose trying to avenge her parents with her younger twin brother.
When her brother Len goes missing, it's up to her, their carer Salvator, fallen angel Ray and demoness Seline to find him, but it's not easy when your nightmares become reality, and the shadows begin to move.
Rin hummed to herself as she brushed her bloody hands onto her black top. Pushing her hair out of her face, she cast a glance over to her brother, and their carer Salvator, otherwise known as Usagi. They had both finished too. Rin embraced her younger brother, and smiled up at Usagi.
Rin was a beautiful, 16 year old demon hunter. She had short, beautiful golden hair, which was usually held out of her face by a yellow ribbon, and soft blue eyes.
Len was beautiful, by boy standards, anyway. His hair, the same as Rin's was pulled back into a scruffy short ponytail, and his blue eyes were quite serious, but playful too. He was eight minutes younger than Rin.
Usagi, or Salavator, their 25 year old carer, had black hair, and violet eyes. He wore clothing that resmbled that of a butler most of the time, and now was no exception. He had two samurai like swords, which he now sheathed. He took out a silver pocket watch, and smiled.
"You still have an hour and 34 minutes till you are to meet Ray and Seline for dinner. Luckily, neither of you have blood in your hair. A quick wash should suffice." he smiled. The two nodded, and looked around. the piles of dust that had previously been demons scattered in the wind as they walkedhome together. It reminded Rin of the first time she had met demons, and Usagi.

By White Lies
It's not easy to review an album that you don't like, when most of the music press is stating it's going to save British guitar music or something equally hyperbolic, and now I'm scared I've given away what will be the general tone of this review.
You see, whilst possibly being slightly disappointing based on live reviews, White Lies' debut 'To Lose My Life' was far from a bad record. Despite singer Harry McVeigh's vocals sounding slightly flat, and it being a little repetitive, it was absolutely rammed with huge exploding choruses, something I happen to be a bit of a sucker for.
'Ritual' opens with 'Is Love', a track full of heavy synth and brooding, but no stronger than on the debut, vocals from McVeigh. It sets the tone well for the rest of the record, given every track sounds like this one, and also establishes this album's flaw. Where is the huge chorus? Maybe they were trying to step away from that song structure, but they have completely failed to plug the gap.
So it continues, every track being pleasant enough in it's own right, yet lacking something to grip you. "In it's own right" are' the key words in that sentence because, as with the debut, it is ever so repetitive. Without the massive choruses it just descends into this bog of synths and echoey guitar. At times it is genuinely difficult to keep listening, it's not unpleasant, it's just that uninspiring.
Let's not start on the lyrics though, easily the worst part of this record. It's not like the debut set McVeigh up to be a master wordsmith, but there are moments on 'Ritual' where they are disastrous. "I heard the water beat on your skin a shower of discipline, as heavy as iron, and I imagined the hand that gripped mine now gripping the gaps in the tile" he sings on 'Strangers', and you cringe. He is so desperate to sound deep and brooding, and falls flat on his face in a pool of drawn out metaphors.
'Ritual' is not, as such, a bad album. It's perfectly pleasant to listen to, bar certain lyrical mishaps; it's just ever so boring. There is nothing about it that grips you in the way moments on the debut did, the closing minute or so of 'Death' for example, was utterly brilliant. There are so many moments on here when it should explode and it lets you down.

Stop wearing mammoth ivory jewellery.
Although many believe wearing mammoth ivory is a more ethical choice than elephant ivory, wearing mammoth ivory jewlery may actually lead to the increase of endangered elephant poaching for their tusks.
Since mammoth ivory is more valuable than elephant ivory, poachers are likely to disguise elephant tusks as mammoth tusks to meet the demand for ivory.
Once a tusk is processed into jewelry or a carving, even top experts and advanced wildlife forensics labs have a hard time telling where it came from.
Because of this, India has banned mammoth ivory.

Mukherjee, who has been declared as the Presidential candidate of the ruling UPA, is expected to resign from the party and as the Union Finance Minister on Tuesday before filing nomination papers for the July 19 election. He became a member of the CWC in 1978 and has been a key player in the top decision making body of the party. Known for his razor sharp intellect, Mukherjee, a quintessential Congressman, is variously described as a brilliant walking encyclopedia, chronicler of Congress history, brilliant expert in matters of Constitution and governance and a stickler for rules in Parliament.
Mukherjee, who was elected to Rajya Sabha in 1969, was for a long time member of the Upper House before his first direct election to Lok Sabha in 2004 from Jangipur in West Bengal. He repeated his victory in 2009. In the Congress Party, Mukherjee became AICC treasurer in 1978. Mukherjee also had a brief stint as Chairman of the Economic Advisory Cell of AICC between 1987 and 1989.
In 1984-1991, 1996 and 1998, Mukherjee was Chairman of the AICC Campaign Committee for Parliament polls besides being a member in the CWC and Congress Election Committee. In the Government, Mukherjee held key portfolios like Defence, External Affairs and Finance.
