Cooling-off periods apply to cars and motorbikes bought from licensed motor car traders.
You have three business days (excluding weekends and public holidays) after you sign a contract to change your mind. This is your cooling-off period. However, if you choose to accept delivery of the vehicle during this three-day period, you will automatically lose your right to cool off.
Licensed motor car traders are required to include a prescribed information box in the contract of sale for each vehicle they sell, that sets out information about the cooling-off process.
A licensed motor car trader is not obliged to order a vehicle from the manufacturer before the cooling-off period expires. You should therefore clarify with the licensed motor car trader when you can expect to receive it.
If you change your mind and terminate the sale agreement, you must do so in writing within the cooling-off period, and the licensed motor car trader may keep $400 or two per cent of the purchase price (whichever is greater).
If you change your mind about a sale that takes place off-site, for example, if the licensed motor car trader brings the vehicle to your home or place of work, the seller may keep $100 or one per cent of the purchase price (whichever is greater).
There is no cooling-off period if the car is purchased in the name of a company or body corporate, or if it is classified as a commercial vehicle.

Cheap Ways To Remodel Your Home
Home remodeling
Remodeling your home or just the idea of it can stress you up, especially when you consider the financial implications that come with it. However, this should not be a major worry to any homeowner who wishes to freshen up the look of his home because there are lots of ways through which you can accomplish your home remodeling goals without having to spend a fortune. A few basic ideas have been highlighted below.
Cheap remodeling ideas
Buy paint and do the painting yourself
Covering your walls with new paint is one of the most effective ways to remodel your home and give a new look or appearance. Adding a new color coat to your walls will change the entire atmosphere in your home and add huge curb appeal as well. Don't spend a lot of money on hiring house painters. Simply clean the walls properly before applying the paint to avoid repair costs later on and apply the paint. Another option is to use wallpaper to convert your old and dull walls to more interesting-looking ones.
Fill the gaps
If your home has an empty spot that does not feel quite right to you, you can think of a great way to fill that space. Some vegetation or flowers can be a choice for the addition because not only do they look good but can fill a good amount of space as well. Another option would be ornaments, which also provide a similar effect. Do not limit your imagination. Simply think of anything that would impress you and ensure that it fits well with the surrounding furniture or wall color.
Add some fresh colors
Following a particular color scheme for the entire home is quite common for many homeowners. This scheme is good as it makes all accessories and furniture complement each other. However, you do not need to stick to this scheme blindly as there are many other alternatives which will look equally good, if not better. You can mix colors in a good way and add some details such as different colored pillows on the couch to give them a nice finish. The effect of this is that your house will look better and feel warmer.
Replace the old curtains and rugs
Curtains and rugs that are old and faded can degrade the look of your house tremendously. Do not be afraid of change or to let go. Simply go shopping for a new a new one and replace the old one to see how amazing the effect will be. New curtains and rugs will also make your house look and feel cleaner.
Reface Cabinet doors
Another good idea to remodel your home is to reface cabinet doors, especially when talking about the kitchen. Shop around at online stores or big hardware stores to find a wide selection of countertops and cabinet facing.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - December 1, 1991, New Braunfels, Texas By LARRY ROWE Staff Writer A high-speed car chase through New Braunfels and down Interstate 35 on Friday night resulted in three damaged police cars and the continuing search for a suspect. No injuries were reported, according to a release provided by the New Braunfels Police Department. "Officers began chasing a vehicle suspected of DWI (driving while intoxicated) and traffic violations," according to the police statement. "After chasing the vehicle in the city for a short time, the vehicle was lost and the chase ended." But the chase, which started about 10:50 p.m., started again shortly, when the car was spotted by a police officer. In the chase that followed, the car struck an unmarked police car, causing minor damage to Ute molding, officials said. The chase continued onto Interstate 35 northbound toward San Marcos, and then back to New Braunfels after the vehicle turned around, the report continued. Just west of Kohlenburg Lane, the driver stopped on the west side of the interstate, and in the process of stopping the vehicle, two patrol cars collided, resulting again in minor damage, it stated. "The driver of the vehicle then exited and jumped into a field where he escaped." Members of the police canine unit were called to the scene to search for the suspect. A suspect in the case has been identified.

The entities then cast votes for the nominees, and the five who came out on top were Wayne Braize, Gloria German, Glyn Goff, Harvey Pape and Felipe Ramirez Jr. They will serve two-year terms on the appraisal district's board, which governs the operation of the district. Pape and Ramirez are current members of the board. The New Braunfels City Council typically nominates just one person, ensuring five candidates for the board instead of six. But this year they nominated two — Seidel and Goff. Seidel argued that because of a split in opinions on the council, Goff was brought in as a second candidste to oppose him. Three council members voted for Seidel in the election, while four supported Ooff. But Mayor Clinton Brandt said Ooff was not chosen as the result of a split council. "I don't think so, because when I took a look at the applicants, I was looking at who I felt was most qualified," he said. "This was what my decision was based on." Seidel also expressed disappointment that questions about his eligibility may have caused him to lose. Bexar Appraisal District documents state that he has claimed a homestead residency tax exemption in San Antonio for the past two years. Comal Appraisal District regulations require that board members be residents of the district for at least two years before serving. Seidel said his eligibility should not hsve played so importsnt s role hi the election. -They didn't look at what I could do. They didn't look et whet I've done in the past." Good Day By LARRY ROWE Staff Writer A candidate for the Comal Appraisal District board of directors said he believes he lost the election in part because of a divided City Council. "I think the problem with the City Council, in the resignation of the (city) manager may have contributed to the whole situation," said Ricky Seidel, whose eligibility for the position was questioned Seidel during the race last week. The election of five members to the board was completed last week when the Comal Independent School District board of trustees cast its votes.

Touched by Another World
It comes again. This time, the feeling fills my heart and then vanishes. I am just rising from sleep, and my eyes land upon the smooth white of my sheets. Then the feeling blooms momentarily.
An entire civilization shows against the backs of my eyes, and in a split second I feel the uplifting sensation of living in a world of peace without money, religion, or rulers. And in the next slice of lingering life in this fading moment of peace, I feel the utter freedom and excitement of running a steep path around the curve of a towering skyscraper, my hand clasped in another's as we escape to a place of beauty, high above the sun-touched city.
I let out the uplifting breath and let my feet touch the rough carpet. That was certainly not a memory, and yet, it came with the touch of truth. Why dream of such worlds when I remain firmly in this one?
I stand up and prepare for school.

Masks and Hoods
Lilly had left Jamie to his own devices in the early hours of the morning. As much as she had wanted to watch him sleep and maybe get some rest for herself, she knew that she had already outstayed her welcome.
Questions flew through her mind. Was Jamie just humouring her? Pretending to get on with her but not having the heart to tell her to go away... If it had been Jamie that had killed Alison, then... Well, Jamie would undoubtably be dead. Alison...
It was her sister's fault that Lilly was who she was today. A violent thug who killed for money. Because in the long run, that's why she was here. Her father's inheritance was waiting for her, and with only two more years left to fight. But she didn't want to do it any more. Not after she had witnessed the kind of damage she could do to not only her opponent, but so many other people around her.
Lilly found herself sitting on a rusty bench in a bad part of the city. But it was deserted. The drunks and thugs had returned home, it was five in the morning after all.
Staring down at her shoes, Lilly thought about Jamie. Their future together. Jamie had been the one who invited Lilly back to his, the one had chased after her... They both needed each other. For support. Now they were running away. This had to be what was best.
Lilly's concentration wavered as she heard a sound from behind her. It sounded like a footstep. Who would be out this early? The city slept at this time. Few ventured outside.
Looking around, Lilly couldn't see anything she considered a threat. Nobody was sneaking around, and the area had never seemed quieter.
As she turned around again, her stomach erupted in pain. The early morning sun was blocked out by a towering figure stood right in front of her, preparing to follow up the punch that he had just delivered to Lilly's stomach. Mighty hands clutched her head, pulling it down and into the knee of her attacker, temporarily blinding her and making her head ring noisily.
Before she could recover, she was thrown to the ground and she felt something soft cover her face. A hood, no doubt. Her attacker wasn't just attacking her, he was taking her away.
As she lay still, silently taking kicks, she realised that there were two pairs of feet doing the kicking. Lost in the darkness, she blacked out...

There is something decidedly old-fashioned about Two Door Cinema Club's rise to arena-filling status. With virtually no media profile or hype, the County Down trio have reached the point where they can fill the O2 by the simple expedient of writing irresistible, life-affirming pop songs, and by expending copious elbow grease slogging around the world playing them.
It's easy to see why the media have given them a wide berth. Three childhood friends from an unfashionable corner of Britain, Two Door have no intriguing backstory, and nor does their gleaming, radio-friendly music harbour any great hidden depths or reservoirs of angst. Even so, the reason for their success is not hard to identify: it's the songs, stupid.
Their musical formula is similarly straightforward: giddily frantic songs that unfold around a rush of itchy indie guitar, embellished with fevered electronics and soaring choruses. Sleek, glistening set opener Sleep Alone unfolds here at a pitch of euphoria that appears scarcely sustainable, and yet the pace hardly drops all night.
So adept are they at writing killer melodies that it's no surprise so many Two Door songs have found their way on to TV ads, film soundtracks and video games. Typical is new single Changing of the Seasons, a plaintive yet upbeat flurry of jangling hooks and swooning synths over which keening singer Alex Trimble tells an ex-lover that his life has got far happier since she dumped him.
The cherubic Trimble has made few obvious concessions to his newfound fame and status, except for sprouting a quiff and purchasing a spangly jacket possibly last seen on a Phoenix Nights bingo caller. His choirboy vocals sound sweet amid the rough and tumble of the music, adding to the songs' air of insatiable yet wholesome delirium.
Trimble is the band's focus, but guitar virtuoso sidekick Sam Halliday is also integral, scattering twinkly, Afrobeat-influenced guitar patterns over songs such as The World Is Watching. For the absurdly catchy Next Year, the hands punching the air in time reach right to the back of the arena, and visibly choked bassist Kevin Baird thanks the crowd for a "fucking awesome night".
Next on Two Door Cinema Club's agenda is writing a third album, and while they may eventually need to add some deeper, darker hues to their emotional palette, for now this unbridled exhilaration is serving them just fine. On their current trajectory, it's only a matter of time until they're playing stadiums all over the world.

Google Offering Teacher-Guided VR Class Field Trips
You probably remember class field trips going something like this: getting your permission slip signed, hopping on the school bus and visiting the local museum or art gallery.
Your kids, on the other hand, could be travelling the world – and beyond – without ever leaving the classroom.
Last Monday, Google Expeditions launched their Android app that, when paired with Google Cardboard, can be used to experience over 200 different field trips in virtual reality. The students connect their smartphones to the Google Cardboard and the teacher uses a tablet to guide the class on their 360-degree expedition.
The instructor can choose a location virtually anywhere, including museums, historical landmarks, underwater and even outer space. They can also add notes and questions to the field trip to educate and engage the students.
The instructor can choose a location virtually anywhere.
The app is available for Android in the Google Play store, and the company says that it will be available for iOS soon. This new app makes VR accessible and affordable; Cardboard viewers start at $15 USD each and the app is free.
Alice Bonasio, a strategic consultant that specializes in technology, told Digital Trends, "Google have kept the Expeditions technology deliberately simple in order to ensure its universal accessibility."
As of right now, the app uses still photography in order to ensure that file sizes are manageable, Wired reported. This is so that Expeditions is still available for schools that cannot access a reliable Internet connection.
A social activity
VR is typically a solo activity, but Expeditions makes it social. This is partly because of the communication between the teacher and students, but also because of the quality of the viewers.
Margaret Rhodes reported for Wired that Cardboard "does little more than fold and Velcro around a smartphone. There are light leaks, and no hands-free head bands. It's not high-tech enough for real escapism."
A higher-end version of Google Expeditions is also available as a kit that includes a teacher device, student devices, higher quality viewers and all of the other necessary equipment for the VR field trip. These kits range in price from $3,999 USD to $9,999 USD depending on the number of student devices required for the class size.
Regardless of whether the teacher uses a high-end kit or the new app for Cardboard, VR could give students the opportunity to visit places they otherwise might never have the chance to go.

Source: Pediatrics Gist: "We found that children in as many as 70% of home-based child care settings and 36% of center-based child care settings watch television daily. More importantly, when television is viewed at all, infants and children spend 2 to 3 hours watching in home-based programs and ~1.5 hours watching in center-based programs."
Media Use by Children Younger Than 2 Years" width="52" height="52"/>
Source: Pediatrics Gist: "This updated policy statement provides further evidence that media—both foreground and background—have potentially negative effects and no known positive effects for children younger than 2 years. Thus, the AAP reaffirms its recommendation to discourage media use in this age group. This statement also discourages the use of background television intended for adults when a young child is in the room."

Television is still as popular as ever, but reading may be beginning to trend downward. Having an accurate understanding of the role of media in children's lives is essential for all of those concerned about promoting healthy child development: parents, educators, pediatricians, public health advocates, and policymakers, to name just a few."

Traditional Methods of Cell Lysis

Physical Disruption vs. Solution-based Cell Lysis
Although physical methods have traditionally been used to disrupt cells, there are some inherent disadvantages to their use. Localized heating within a sample can occur with many of the techniques described, leading to protein denaturation and aggregation. To avoid this problem it is essential to pre-chill equipment and keep samples on ice at all times. Reproducibility with homogenization and grinding methods can be challenging due to inexact terminology used to define sample handling. Furthermore, cells disrupt at different times so the viscosity of the medium constantly changes, and released subcellular components are subjected to disruptive forces. In addition to sample handling problems, some physical disruption methods require fairly expensive equipment, such as the French press and sonicator.

Mechanical methods rely on the use of rotating blades to grind and disperse large amounts of complex tissue, such as liver or muscle. The Waring blender and the Polytron are commonly used for this purpose. Unlike the Waring blender, which is similar to a standard household blender, the Polytron draws tissue into a long shaft containing rotating blades. The shafts vary in size to accommodate a wide range of volumes, and can be used with samples as small as 1mL.
Liquid-based homogenization is the most widely used cell disruption technique for small volumes and cultured cells. Cells are lysed by forcing the cell or tissue suspension through a narrow space, thereby shearing the cell membranes. Three different types of homogenizers are in common use. A Dounce homogenizer consists of a round glass pestle that is manually driven into a glass tube. A Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer consists of a manually or mechanically driven PTFE pestle shaped to fit a rounded or conical vessel. The number of strokes and the speed at which the strokes are administered influences the effectiveness of Dounce and Potter-Elvehjem homogenization methods. Both homogenizers can be obtained in a variety of sizes to accommodate a range of volumes. A French press consists of a piston that is used to apply high pressure to a sample volume of 40 to 250mL, forcing it through a tiny hole in the press. Only two passes are required for efficient lysis due to the high pressures used with this process. The equipment is expensive, but the French press is often the method of choice for breaking bacterial cells mechanically.

Sonication is the third class of physical disruption commonly used to break open cells. The method uses pulsed, high frequency sound waves to agitate and lyse cells, bacteria, spores and finely diced tissue. The sound waves are delivered using an apparatus with a vibrating probe that is immersed in the liquid cell suspension. Mechanical energy from the probe initiates the formation of microscopic vapor bubbles that form momentarily and implode, causing shock waves to radiate through a sample. To prevent excessive heating, ultrasonic treatment is applied in multiple short bursts to a sample immersed in an ice bath. Sonication is best suited for volumes <100mL.
The freeze-thaw method is commonly used to lyse bacterial and mammalian cells. The technique involves freezing a cell suspension in a dry ice/ethanol bath or freezer and then thawing the material at room temperature or 37°C. This method of lysis causes cells to swell and ultimately break as ice crystals form during the freezing process and then contract during thawing. Multiple cycles are necessary for efficient lysis, and the process can be quite lengthy. However, freeze/thaw has been shown to effectively release recombinant proteins located in the cytoplasm of bacteria and is recommended for the lysis of mammalian cells in some protocols.
Manual grinding is the most common method used to disrupt plant cells. Tissue is frozen in liquid nitrogen and then crushed using a mortar and pestle. Because of the tensile strength of the cellulose and other polysaccharides comprising the cell wall, this method is the fastest and most efficient way to access plant proteins and DNA.
View products
Cells can be treated with various agents to aid the disruption process. Lysis can be promoted by suspending cells in a hypotonic buffer, which cause them to swell and burst more readily under physical shearing. Lysozyme (200µg/mL) can be used to digest the polysaccharide component of yeast and bacterial cell walls. Alternatively, processing can be expedited by treating cells with glass beads in order to facilitate the crushing of cell walls. This treatment is commonly used with yeast cells. Viscosity of a sample typically increases during lysis due to the release of nucleic acid material. DNase can be added to samples (25-50µg/mL) along with RNase (50µg/mL) to reduce this problem. Nuclease treatment is not required for sonicated material since sonication shears chromosomes. Finally, proteolysis can be a problem whenever cells are manipulated; therefore, protease inhibitors should be added to all samples undergoing lysis.

I chose the LiQWD Beach Waves hair cream and Jurlique Herbal night cream duo. Loved them both! The hair product was great--I just scrunched it into damp hair and had soft, natural-loking waves all day. And the smell is beautiful!
The herbal night cream is very thick and smells like roses. It seemed like it was going to leave my face greasy, but it actually soaked in pretty fast and I ended up following it with my normal moisturizer.
I LOVE the Jurlique face cream. It leaves my face feeling soft and fresh without being too heavy or greasy. My face has been dry lately due to the winter weather, and this is just what I need to get ready for spring. I've noticed a big difference since I started applying it a few days ago.4
I love the sample sizes (on almost everything). It's great to receive a size where you can actually try the product - the whole point of a sample....but for some reason has been lost with samples anymore. Love the Nuxe ultra comfortable face cream. Recieved enough in my sample size to try for a week. I need that long to know if it agrees with my skin. So nice to actually get to try. Thank you Birchbox!4

LONDON (AP) — Crystal Palace fired Neil Warnock after only four months in charge on Saturday, becoming the first English Premier League manager to lose his job this season.
The 66-year-old Warnock's second spell in charge of Palace ended with the London club in the relegation zone after just one win in 12 Premier League matches.
Palace said that Warnock's assistant, Keith Millen, will be in charge for Sunday's game against Queens Park Rangers as caretaker manager.
One of the most outspoken, colourful characters in English football, Warnock was hired on a two-year deal in August after Tony Pulis quit Palace just two days before the opening match.
"The club would like to put on record its thanks to Neil for all his hard work and energy over the past four months," Palace said on its website a day after a 3-1 loss to Southampton.

ID Management Solutions
NXIENT's ID Concierge provides organisations with greater flexibility when deploying ID Cards for various uses within their facilities. ID Concierge can be customised to suit the Enterprise needs of the organisation, including a wide range of capabilities.
• ID Management
• Database integration
• Badge Printing
• Technology card Encoding
• Self-serve Kiosk operation
• Visitor Management
• Access Control privledge provisioning
ID Concierge allows companies who have smartcard-based ID cards for access control or companies wishing to deploy smartcard-based systems for access control and other uses, to use their existing ID cards and extend their capability by adding additional functionality and power to their existing card.
For example: A large organisation can use different Sectors on a Mifare or Mifare DESFire based Smartcard for access control in different buildings.
Sector 1 could be used for the Brisbane building, Sector 2 for the Melbourne building and so on. They can also extend the capability of the existing cards, by adding "Follow-me-print" using the Staff ID that is encoded to sector 9, or the secure Technology Lockers by encoding the same data to Sector 10.
Using this approach, each sector on the Smartcard uses its own secure keyset, which means that it can be given to different system suppliers with-out compermising the security of the card.
Smartcard readers for the various systems are programmed with the necessary Read Keyset and sector information to access the encoded data and pass it through to the application for authentication.
As new systems are deployed, a card holder presents his or her ID Card to the reader on the kiosk to be updated.
Common uses are:
• Building Access Control
• Follow-Me-Print systems
• Staff Lockers
• Staff ID Number
• Card Holder ID Verification (including an Image)
• Event Ticketing
• Loyalty & Rewards
• Parking
• Login Credential
Kiosk Operation
The Kiosk will operate as an unattended system waiting for a User to present their ID Badge/Access Control card to the Smartcard reader.
Once the user presents their card, the kiosk authenticates the card by checking the Sector authentication key and the encoded access number. It uses this information to check the database for a valid user.
Once the user is validated, it either processes the card updates or in the case of an Administrator, can log them into the application.

Because the zoom lens isn't powered, start-up time is an impressive 0.8 seconds. The hybrid AF system is also extremely fast, producing a shutter lag of around 0.01 seconds in good light. The S9500 has an excellent AF illuminator with a range of around 20 feet, allowing the camera to focus in complete darkness, although it does take around half a second.
The main shooting control is the mode dial on the top plate, offering the usual combination of full auto, program AE, aperture and shutter priority and manual exposure, as well as portrait, landscape, night scene and movie modes. Not so usual are the anti-blur mode, which biases the exposure system toward higher shutter speeds and ISO, and the natural light setting which is used for low light photography without the flash.
The S9500 has a very good movie mode, shooting at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels at 30 frames a second. Unlike some cameras, the zoom lens can be used in movie mode, and is of course silent. Clips are recorded directly to the memory cards, which since the camera has slots for both xD Picture and CompactFlash cards, means potential shooting times of over an hour at maximum quality.
Most of the other main options are activated by separate external buttons, including exposure compensation, continuous shooting mode, flash mode and the exceptionally good 1cm macro mode. The main power switch is a rotating collar around the shutter button. The shutter button itself has – wonder of wonders – a threaded socket for a cable release. Most digital cameras only offer the option of an expensive electronic remote control, so a proper cable release is a rare delight. Just to complete the package it also has an X-sync socket for connecting a studio flash system.
Fuji S9500.
If you can find a pre-owned unit, it is well worth the effort.
This camera offers so much more than the pocket 'super zooms', and should be seriously considered against the more expensive true DSLRs. This is not a camera for the 'point and shoot' brigade.
Find a specifications list for this camera, and then compare it's abilities against the price. You'll be surprized how much is packed into this unit.
A serious piece of kit at a very reasonable price!
Although this doesn't offer some of the more refined capabilities of a DSLR, it has a few tricks of its own. Video mode with on-the-fly zoom, dual storage media (CF & xD) and a massive 28-300mm (10.7x) zoom lens which negates the need to carry around a host of lenses for different situations. Time spent changing a lens and the moment may be gone...
I have to say I've been thoroughly impressed by this offering from Fuji, well worth it for the money and truly head and shoulders above the "Point and click" range of pocket zooms.
I have just bought an almost new one off Ebay,to replace my highly regarded Fuji S7000,and have found it an excellent replacement.
It's a lot quicker to start up and focus,has a lot more features,and the lens is much more useful.
Admittedly,my Nikon D40 is a bit quicker overall,but it's only 6MP,and a lot heavier to lug around with the standard 18-55mm lens,and the 55-200 VR Nikon lens.
The Fuji combines both these lenses in a compact,well built package,and so is more likely to come with me when I go out for the day.
My S7000 produced some super prints,and the S9500 seems even better,and I think that the latest Fuji super zooms just don't seem to offer the picture quality of either the S7000,or the S9500.
Who really needs "face detection" anyway?
Anyone with a bit of know how should be able to take a decent portrait,or group picture
when needed.However,"anti-shake" is very useful,and Fuji's way of doing it is not as good as my little Panasonic FX35,but still copes quite well.
Because the S9500 copes well with high ISO's,it gets away with boosting it to counter any shake,and increasing the shutter speed.
All-in all a great camera,and if you shop around you can get it at a bargain price!
A little postscript to my review!.
I am finding that focussing at the longer zoom(above 200mm)can be a problem in indifferent lighting,sometimes "beeping" to indicate the lens has focussed,but the screen shows otherwise,and, occasionally, just won't focus at all!
Settings below 200mm seem fine,and wide angle is no problem at all,but I do seem to be getting slightly more out of focus,or blurred,images with the S9500.
It could have a focussing problem,I suppose,as I did buy it second hand,but it is in excellent condition otherwise.
They also seem to all need sharpening before printing.
I don't recall any problems focussing with the S7000,and I even think the images seemed that more vibrant,especially the macro pictures.
The S9500 images do need a bit more work on them it seems,but I will perservere,because the S9500 is so quick to start up,the batteries do last a lot longer,and it has a great lens,much more useful than the 6x zooom on the s7000,and has more useful features.
But time will tell,and meanwhile I have begun to appreciate what an excellent camera my Nikon D40 is!
I have had a Fuji S9500 since new (at least 3 or 4 years ago), I have found it to be a brilliant camera and so versatile. The results are equal if not superior than those I get from my DSLR's (Nikon D100, Sigma SD14, Olympus 500E), after much heavy use and many thousands of shots, it has finally developed a fault, although it works fine still on fully auto mode it will not allow the change of settings of aperture/speed in manual mode. Despite it costing me over £97.50 to have it fixed by Fuji, I think that is a price worth paying for such a brilliant camera. I also have an old Fuji S602 Prozoom, which despite its age still works fine and delivers great picture quality despite only being a 3 megapixel camera, the only downside is the long shutter lag, but then it is old technology. The S7000 I owned for a year or two I sold on ebay as I found it to be a bit of a dog compared to the S602 and S9500 ... I wasn't very happy with it at all, the quality and build seemed inferior and having a minimum aperture of F8 compared to F11 on the S602 and S9500 compounded my feeling that the S7000 had only been bought out as a stop gap by Fuji.
I have the box with my beloved S9500 sitting here beside me as I'm writing this, all packed up and ready to be sent back for repair ...... I shall really miss it while it is away.
I need help please Cliff! The S9500 that i bought has stopped working, it makes a turning on sound but no display lights up and you cannot take a picture. The Jessops guy said it's a dead duck, and i'm really bemused as to what the problem could be a proffessional photographer has looked at it and he had no clue. Please help, I bought this camera from ebay and met up with the chap he showed it me working and i wasn't overly immpressed, however when i started taking close up pictures and focusing and dragging away i was compelled to learn more about photography by doing it more and more. I bought it as a birthday present for my wife who loves "fudgey" film cameras. She has always wanted one and i had enough money to get one. Of course i played around with it to see if it was as good as Cliff says, and it really is. But it's stopped. I bought it in August 09 and it hasn't worked since Sep 09, it was second hand and it worked for a month, it was when the batteries died, i recharged them, to upload the photos using the data cable to the laptop - it didn't work and now i have a really expensive paperweight. I'm gutted and i need advice please.
Hi Cameron, I have had the same problem with my S9500, even though the rechargeable batteries are showing charged they would only allow me to view pictures already taken. Please try buying some standard Alkaline bateries and see if they will allow your camera to work. Did for mine...
Hi there! I just found someone selling one of these cameras for ? I realise that this camera has been around for over 5 years now but it would be my first camera and I don't need anything professional! Is it still worth the price? Ill be mostly taking shots of surfers so it needs a fast shutter exposure, thanks a million!

KEI statement at WIPO GA 2016 on the Inter-governmental Committee (IGC) on genetic resources, traditional knowledgeSubmitted by James Love on 6. October 2016 - 9:52
KEI is interested in how regimes proposed in the IGC impact the economics of stewardship, curation and sharing of Traditional Knowledge (TK) and Genetic Resources (GR).
KEI generally opposes the creation of exclusive rights that can block innovations and access to knowledge and materials, in the context of Traditional Knowledge or Generic Resources.
However, benefit sharing does not require the granting of exclusive rights. Liability rule approaches seem to offer a better model.

On September 10, 2015, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), wrote to USTR expressing alarm at the European Union support of an indefinite extension of a WTO waiver of obligations to grant patents on pharmaceuticals for UN defined least developed countries (LDCs). In 2015, there were 954 million persons living in LDCs, with a per capita income of $964, according to the World Bank. The EU had aligned itself with health advocates trying to protect the bottom billion access to life saving medicines.

NIH Waivers for U.S. Manufacturing Requirements for Federally-Funded DrugsSubmitted by Zack Struver on 16. September 2016 - 13:26
The National Institutes of Health, from 2011 through May of 2015, appears to have granted all requests for waivers of a requirement under federal law that patent holders who benefit from U.S. taxpayer-funding ensure that their patented inventions are manufactured in the United States.
The Bayh-Dole Act imposes various requirements on the grant of exclusive licenses by the patent holders of federally-funded inventions. In particular, the act generally requires that exclusive licensees "substantially" manufacture the invention in the United States.
The Act, however, also allows for the patent holder to obtain a waiver on the U.S. manufacturing requirement from the Federal agency that provided for the funding of the invention. According to a FOIA response recently obtained by Knowledge Ecology International, the NIH seems to grant every manufacturing waiver request that comes its way.

Also trading a second for a first next season or a third for a second next season etc........ Similar to what the Pats always seem to do. For Dallas I would trade down from 14 to the 20's pick up another second. Trade a second this season for a first next season.

ISIS threatens to execute journalist, former UCF student
ORLANDO, Fla. - A day after an American journalist was beheaded in Syria by an Islamic group, a former University of Central Florida student could be the next one to die.
Steven Sotloff went to the University of Central Florida from 2002 to 2004, where he studied journalism and then went overseas to report.
He also wrote for the school's paper, The Central Florida Future.
The terrorist group ISIS has threatened that he'll be the next American killed. Video released by the group shows the moments before American journalist James Foley was executed. Sotloff appears briefly at the end of it, where a captor threatens to take his life as well.
Sotloff was kidnapped by the extremist group one year ago.
Emerson Lotzia is best friends with Sotloff and his former roommate.
"We just want him home. We want him home and we want him home and safe in one piece," Lotzia said.
Police officers watched over the family home in south Florida late Wednesday as news spread.
At UCF, students discussed it on campus and in class.
"Just hearing it is kinda creepy. Just to know that you can relate to someone at UCF (who) is getting involved in that mess," said student Kevin Gaspar.
"It's actually pretty frightening," said UCF student Farah Mohammed. "I mean, how can people do that to other people? We're all human beings at the end of the day."
Friends and family members of Sotloff started a petition on the White House's website urging the government to secure his safe return.
His Twitter page remains active. His last tweet was posted a year ago about his beloved Miami Heat.
UCF officials released a statement Wednesday that said, "This is an unspeakable terrible circumstance. We join so many others who hope for Steven's safe return."
