Colour 5" x 4" negative showing a male technician operating a tape recording machine at a Philips Electrical Industries recorded music factory in Clayton, 30 July 1973.
This image is part of the Laurie Richards Collection at Museum Victoria comprising approximately 85,000 negatives taken by the Melbourne based Laurie Richards Studio between the 1950s -1970s. These negatives are all mostly large format [5"x 4"/ 12.5 x 10 cm], black and white images, though a significant number are in colour. The many photographic jobs that were undertaken in the course of thirty years are itemised in a set of log books, copies of which are also held by Museum Victoria.
Laurie Richards was a professional photographer who began his career as a photo-journalist, working for the Advertiser newspaper in Adelaide, and the Argus and the Herald newspapers in Melbourne. In 1953, he opened his own business and set up a photographic studio at his home at 4 Tower Avenue, Alphington, an inner suburb of Melbourne. At its peak, in the late 1960s, the Laurie Richards Studio was one of Melbourne's pre-eminent commercial photographic studios, employing twelve photographers. The Laurie Richards Studio worked mainly in advertising and public relations, and had a broad clientele which included commercial companies, government institutions and the entertainment industry.
Description of Content
A male technician operating a tape recording machine at a recorded music factory. He is seated on an orange chair behind a mixing desk, with a reel-to-reel machine at his right, and a large electronics cabinet at his left. A speaker sits on the wall behind him, as well as a large diagram, possibly an electronics diagram or a musical score. The floor is carpeted, and the walls of the room are brick, witih sound proofing materials covering the top third of the wall and the roof.
Physical Description
Colour 5" x 4" cellullose acetate negative.
Because of the breadth of both the subject matter photographed and the diverse businesses which commissioned the work, and the excellent documentation that accompanies the collection, the Laurie Richards Collection at Museum Victoria is an invaluable record of Melbourne's commercial and industrial past and as such gives an insight into the social history of that period.

Talk:Burham, Kent
The creation of FamilySearch wiki pages using 1851 as a point in time has disadvantages and is disconnected from the Diocesan and parish history.
Here the entries in the Family History Library holdings do no reflect the replacement of the Ancient church of Burham, and the demise due to structural failure of the replacement church. Whilst it is possible to view two Ancient parishes in fact the parish history is of the remaining parish and benefice for both villages and conservation of old Burham church. I encountered site difficulties in making this entry and the search engine was not reliable and disclosed no entiries at one stage for Wouldham, Kent but this page has now reappeared. Since a number of "site has moved" and site unavailable messages displayed for over 30 minutes it seems that some form of maintenance was shifting data. The initial discussion posted here also failed to display.
I would suggest that the catalogue should contain a cross reference and hope that the parish history will enable the England, Kent, Parish Registers and Bishop's Transcripts (FamilySearch Historical Records)

Marco's Trattoria
The food at Marco's Trattoria found its beginnings in Florence, Italy, where Marco and his mother Franca Capanni were born. Franca came to the U.S. with her husband—a decorated World War II soldier who fought in Italy. She later moved Los Angeles with Marco and his brother and provided for them by working in Italian restaurants. In addition to helping Marco open his trattoria, she has another claim to fame: she appeared as the home cook in Daft Punk's "Revolution 909" video, directed by Roman Coppola.
Sixteen years later, the staff members have changed but the food remains tied to the Capanni legacy. The menu ranges from classic spaghetti with meatballs to a creamy risotto with sirloin tips, bleu cheese, caramelized onions, and mushrooms. You can pair such dishes with libations from an eclectic wine and beer list, which is regularly updated until Prohibition is reinstated.

Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone.
Although this quote is from an anonymous philosopher, one would be hard-pressed to find someone who cannot relate to it. The blue, playful water, the eternal sounds of the seashore – the guttural baritone of the waves complemented by the high tremolo of the whistling wind – and the soft sand combine to create a much-desired "getting away from it all" sensation that calms and pleases us at once. The abstract stuff aside, the tangible side of our primordial admiration of oceans and beaches lies in the number of tourists who flock to beaches all over the world as soon as they get the chance. Beaches are always a popular travel destination, waiting to greet and soothe us with open arms. They are excellent spots to get rid of that pent-up weekday boredom.
The east coast of the United States is replete with stunning beaches that can make for a perfect weekend getaway or a fantastic family vacation. North Carolina houses many of those.

Fruits and Vegetables
On any road trip, a fair share of fruits such as bananas, apples, grapes, and oranges are a great way to fight hunger. You can have these fruits either whole or opt for a fruit salad. In case you decide to carry fruit salad on your road trip, see to it that it's kept in a little ice box. You can also dice fruits and vegetables and make your favorite dips. Carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes too make a great snack. Carrying a small pocket knife always comes in handy during a road trip.
Snacks at Restaurants
If you haven't packed healthy snacks for your road trip and want to stop for a quick bite, you can order an omelet stuffed with vegetables and accompanied with brown bread. If you have a sweet tooth, you could choose a muffin which has a good nutritional value. A

Benefits of Hiking
Physical benefits of hiking are plenty, provided one carries it out on a regular basis. However, before starting a hike, it is important to check on a few things like the climate, location, and the path to follow. Also, it is important to have company with you. Start slow, follow familiar paths, and wear good hiking shoes to avoid any accidents. This physical activity has numerous health benefits, some of which are given below:
Weight Loss
Weight loss is the major benefit. With the trail climbing up and down the hill, one burns a lot of calories. When combined with a balanced and healthy diet, it provides a healthy way to lose weight, and get a lean body.

The lower body gets toned, when one goes on a hike on a regular basis. Trails where there are some elevations are the best, as they act as muscle toning workouts. Also, one could carry some weights on his/her back which can increase the strength. For a beginner, it is always recommended to start off with flat land first, followed by small hills and later on progressing to difficult hills.
Not Tough
It is not tough, and can be taken up
Hiking Safety Tips
A very popular outdoor activity, hiking involves walking in natural surroundings while reveling the mesmerizing nature. With its growing popularity, numerous hiking organizations have cropped up everywhere over the last decade or so. Along with the tremendous rise in the number of people taking to it, the number of accidents has also increased. Most of these accidents can be attributed to carelessness on the part of hikers, or improper planning, and therefore, one has to take his safety into consideration when opting to go hiking.
Hiking Safety Tips to Remember
Planning is the most important part of your hiking escapade. It's always better to have basic knowledge about the terrain of the region and weather conditions prevailing there. You can look for this information on the Internet or consult hiking enthusiasts who have been there before. It's important to choose the right time for the hike. You surely wouldn't want to end up in bad weather. While it's nearly impossible to predict what the weather has in store for us, we can always take necessary precautions and be safe on our part.

Hiking in the desert may seem unconventional to some, but this activity does have quite a few avid followers. Desert hiking gives you ample opportunity to indulge in rock climbing, walk along the gorgeous terrain, and of course, click pictures as you move ahead.

Top 5 Desert Hiking Essentials and Safety Tips
1. Carry All Essentials
A desert hike is definitely not a stroll in the park, so it is imperative to make preparations for it. To begin with, you must make a list of essential items which you need to carry along with you. These include basic supplies and safety equipment. Usually, the items that you carry along for your trip depend on the location, weather, and the amount of time you plan to spend there. But a desert hiking trip in particular, calls for the following essentials –

Destinations for Desert Hiking
Desert hiking may not be everybody's 'thing', so to say. But I'd like to blame this partly on the image that the word 'desert' conjures, and the rest on Hollywood.
Think 'desert' and what comes to mind is the endless expanse of arid sand. This is usually followed by abundant instances of movie scenes where people are left to die in, yes of course, the desert. How else do you think Death Valley got its name?
In reality though, you'd be surprised to find that deserts are beautiful, mystical, and sublimely spiritual. Check out these hot destinations, if you don't believe me.
10 Amazing Destinations for Desert Hiking
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Deserts aren't always full of sand, with Antarctica being a notable example. The Salar de Uyuni is another instance where the desert is made up entirely of salt. It is, in fact, the largest salt flat in the world, thanks to which it is almost devoid of vegetation and wildlife. A flat, salty expanse below your feet, and the deep blue sky overhead make for quite a memorable hike indeed.
As the world's biggest salt plain, the Salar de Uyuni traverses Bolivia's vast Altiplano, the remote and high desert of the Andean

Waves of the azure sea kissing your feet, warm silky sand trickling through your fingers and toes, cool breeze blowing across your body as you languidly soak up the warm, yellow sun – a holiday by the beach is definitely, an ultimate therapeutic vacation to improve one's mental and physical health.

Best Time to Visit:

Beaches in Mexico
Mexico is blessed with a coastline of 10,000 km along the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. As a result, it houses countless beach destinations that offer a variety of activities for tourists.

Here are Mexico's best coastal resorts, the best of the gems that this wonderful country has to offer.
Mexico's capital, Mexico City, is the ideal gateway into Mexico for most international travelers.

Best Scuba Diving Destinations
The sea has always been a subject of great fascination and awe for mankind. No matter how deep we explore the saline waters, the ocean never seems to come to an end. Through the ages, humans have figured out ways and means to reach the bottom of the sea, and to explore and exploit its hidden treasures. However, the excitement and curiosity to know about and be a part of the underwater realm does not just end there.

Dubious Theory: Chocolate a Cavity Fighter
Published: April 15, 1992
(Page 2 of 2)
Dr. Miller said the group's publications were reviewed by dental experts and its own directors, which include Mr. Fiuczynski and two other Mars officials. "Neither its board of directors or its science advisers functioned as a copy-writing team," Mr. Fiuczynski said.
One expert for the group, Dr. John Hein, a former director of the Forsyth Dental Research Center of Boston, said that any failings attributed to the newsletters might stem from efforts to simplify complex information. "I think the problem is that newsletters take a number of things and reduce them down," he said.
One newsletter suggested that studies, such as the work of Dr. Wolinsky, an associate professor of oral biology at U.C.L.A., showed that eating chocolate regularly might actually inhibit cavities. That is because cocoa, an ingredient in chocolate, contains compounds known as tannins, which inhibit plaque formation, the newsletter said.
But Dr. Wolinsky said the intent of his work had been mischaracterized. "I know that this is what candy companies would love to think," he said. "But it just isn't the case."
Rather, he said his work was directed at isolating tannins from cocoa and other foods so they might be used as additives in toothpaste and mouthwashes. "Any gains you might get from the cocoa in chocolate would be more than offset by ingredients like sugar," he said.
Virtually all researchers agree that cavities are started when sugars left by food residue are converted into acids that attack dental enamel. Research has also suggested that some foods and snacks high in carbohydrates, like potato chips and some crackers, may also produce cavities because they break down in the mouth into sugars.
Some snacks like filled cookies that contain both sugar and carbohydrates may be even worse, a study in the Journal of the American Dental Association has suggested. As a result, the association emphasizes the need to limit all snacks.
Many dental experts said that occasional eating of candy should not pose a hazard. "A fruit is a more healthy snack," said Dr. Joseph Ciardi, director of the caries, nutrition and fluoride program of the National Institute of Dental Research, a Federal agency. Chocolate Flunks Test
Dr. William Bowen, chairman of dental research at the University of Rochester, said some cheese had been shown to inhibit cavities because they strengthen dental enamel. But he said, "Every chocolate that we tested produced cavities."
The Princeton group's newsletter has also cited research at the Forsyth Center, saying it found "sticky" snacks like chocolate and caramel actually dissolve out of the mouth faster than some starchy foods like crackers and potato chips. "Basically," the newsletter said, "this research should dispel myths that foods perceived as 'sticky' or 'chewy' pose the greatest threat of dental decay."
Dr. Shelby Kashket, who directed the Forsyth study, objected to this interpretation: "It is an extrapolation from our research. We did not look at which of these foods was more harmful to teeth."
The Forsyth study was also financed by Mars, Mr. Fiuczynski said. Mr. Ostrow, the Princeton center's spokesman, sent a news release about it was sent to Forsyth officials for review, but Dr. Kashket said he did not recall having seen it.
Some dentists have been aware of Mars's involvement with the Princeton center. A 1990 Journal of the American Dental Association mentioned that Mars had founded the organization.
Apparently, the pro-chocolate movement is spreading. Last month, the New York University School of Dentistry put out a news release headlined "Candy may inhibit tooth decay, says N.Y.U. researcher."
Dr. Harald Linke, the researcher involved, declined to be interviewed yesterday. But Dr. Stephen Moss, chairman of the school's department of pediatric dentistry, raised an eyebrow at the release and the suggestion of chocolate's cavity-fighting powers. "Chocolate or candy cannot inhibit tooth decay," said Dr. Moss, who is also a scientific adviser to Princeton Dental Resource Center.
Photo: Newsletter from a group financed by the M&M/Mars candy company.

Hazard Perception Online Help: how to get top marks
Hazard Perception Online Help by Driving Test Success
The hazard perception test is tricky for most learner drivers. Not only do you have to learn about what a developing hazard is but when the optimum time to react to one is.
The key to scoring the highest marks in your hazard perception test is timing your clicks right. You can only achieve this by practising until you gain a true understanding on when a hazard becomes scorable in a test.
Firstly you must understand what a hazard is.
What is a hazard?
A hazard can be anything that could cause a driver to change speed, direction, stop or create harm. Usually, driving hazards are grouped into these categories:
- Physical (junctions, bends, roundabouts)
- Other Road Users (drivers, cyclists, pedestrians)
- Environmental (weather, road surfaces, time of day)
It is important to note that hazards often are not isolated. For example it could be a dark and windy night going through a roundabout with a cyclist in front.
When do I click on a hazard?
You should click when you see anything that has the potential to develop in to a hazard and click a second time IF it develops. If necessary you may wish to click a third time if the hazard continues to develop still.
If what you believed to be a hazard does not develop you should not click a second time. You will not be penalised if you do unless you click multiple times in succession.
By doing this you will increase your chance of scoring 4 to 5 points whilst at the same time minimising the chances of scoring zero points.
What should I do now?
It is imperative that you start practising for your hazard perception test. The best way to do this is with our PC Download software which emulates what you will have in the real test.
Available for just £9.99 you can start revising straight away and avoid having to pay for a retake of your theory test!

Florida-Texas A&M Preview
Associated Press | Last updated September 04, 2012
Florida coach Will Muschamp had the benefit of watching his two quarterbacks play in a game this season before announcing the starter. New Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin opens 2012 with a redshirt freshman under center and plenty of questions about how his team will respond to having its season opener postponed. Sophomore Jeff Driskel will start for the 24th-ranked Gators on Saturday in College Station, where Johnny Manziel leads the Aggies in their first SEC game. Driskel and Jacoby Brissett shared reps in the spring and last Saturday's opener, but two days after that 27-14 victory over Bowling Green, Muschamp named Driskel the starting quarterback. Driskel was 10 of 16 for 114 yards, including a 50-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Frankie Hammond, while adding 24 yards on the ground. Brissett completed 3 of 5 passes for 31 yards. "Just feel like Jeff with his legs gives us some different variables in our offense that can help us as we move forward," Muschamp said. "So it'll be Jeff's game to play. I told Jeff, 'I don't want you looking over your shoulder, but you need to play well.'" Senior running back Mike Gillislee also had a solid opener, running for 148 yards and two scores, but it's still too early to determine if new offensive coordinator Brent Pease will be able to turn around an offense that ranked 105th in the FBS last season with 328.7 yards per game. "For me, they were extremely vanilla in their (offensive) approach," Sumlin said. "Coach Muschamp talked about wanting to be able to run the ball and throw play-action off that and get explosive, and they did that. I think it was a way for them to evaluate their program and their players and their running game. So for us, it was a chance to look at talent level." Sumlin, who left Houston in December to replace the fired Mike Sherman, will have to rely on practice tape to get a gauge of where his team is at after the Aggies' season opener at Louisiana Tech on Aug. 30 was postponed until Oct. 13 due to Hurricane Isaac. Texas A&M, which left the Big 12 for the SEC, opens a season with a conference game for the first time since 1967. "We can't change what happened last week," said Sumlin, an Aggies assistant head coach and offensive coordinator from 2001-02. "(The coaching staff doesn't) know how guys are going to react in certain circumstances - we haven't been around this team. So that will be the interesting part of the game." So will be watching Manziel - the first Aggie freshman to start a season opener in 68 years - who has yet to take a college snap and will replace first-round NFL draft pick Ryan Tannehill. Manziel, though, will be protected by a line that returns four of five starters from a unit that surrendered nine sacks last season - fourth-best in the FBS. If that group can keep the Aggies' new signal-caller upright, senior wide receivers Ryan Swope and Uzoma Nwachukwu could be a tough test for defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's secondary. The Gators, who gave up 4.1 yards per carry in their opener, could also have their hands full with senior running back Christine Michael, who returns after having his second consecutive season shortened due to injury. Along with opening up holes for Gillislee, Florida's offensive line will need to protect Driskel from linebacker Sean Porter and defensive lineman Damontre Moore, who combined for 18 sacks last season when Texas A&M finished 7-6. This is the third meeting between these teams and first in College Station. Texas A&M won the last matchup 37-14 on Jan. 2, 1977, in the Sun Bowl after Florida posted a 42-6 victory in Gainesville in 1962.

In 1997 the brilliant sports writer Pete Davies published a book about women's football – soccer, if you're on the continent to my left – and about one team in particular. I Lost My Heart To The Doncaster Belles is an account of the struggles and triumphs of a good northern team playing in a minority league. I mention this because at exactly this time I was surrendering my own cherry just 15 miles over the road. And while Mr Davies lost his heart to the Belles, me, I got pucked by the Sheffield Steelers.
The South Yorkshire club were the first hockey club I ever followed. Before them, I knew nothing about the sport. The crowd in the Sheffield Arena, the team's home barn, would chant "Powerplay!" and I'd have not a clue what this meant. I called the face-off "kick-off" and shouted "good ball!" at any tape-to-tape pass that didn't pass me by. Even so, ice hockey in the 'House of Steel' was great. Not only that, but it was cheap, and friendly too: eight quid for entry to one of the few places in the city where a 20-something male wasn't likely to get his head kicked in.
This Saturday the Steelers will embark on their 17th season, hosting the Edinburgh Capitals at the Sheffield Arena. The two clubs are part of the EIHL (Elite Ice Hockey League, Elite League for anyone not wanting to sound drunk) and are joined by teams in Basingstoke, Belfast, Cardiff, Coventry, Hull, Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham. With player salaries ranging from £16,000 to £32,000 the league is fully professional; the clubs provide accommodation for their skaters and the skaters help spread the message in the wider communities. Families are encouraged to attend, with packages for two adults and two kids priced at around £40 a game. Needless to say, the Manchester Phoenix are more accessible and more affordable than Manchester United.
The standard of hockey played in the Elite League is decent, falling somewhere between that of North America's AHL and ECHL minor leagues. Because of this, attendance numbers are healthy, even robust. The Sheffield Steelers and Nottingham Panthers draw about 5,000 fans per game – 7,000 when they play each other – as do Belfast; Newcastle, Manchester and Edinburgh pull a couple of thousand each night, close to the capacity of their respective home venues.
I do remember that about a decade ago a writer for the football magazine When Saturday Comes described British ice hockey as being a 'Big Mac sport'. The fact that I've remembered this phrase for so long means that it might have some currency. Then again, I am out of practice with regard to the UK game. Researching this piece I was surprised to learn that the Elite League restricts each team to 10 overseas players, thus forging a link between the sport at club and national level. One of the reasons given for establishing football's Premier League was that it would strengthen the England team. Fans of British ice hockey might have to contend with phrases such as 'Big Mac sport', but they've never been lied to quite like that.
The reason I'm out of practice with the UK game, by the way, is that I live in London and these days don't very often travel to South Yorkshire. Like all minority sports (and it is a minority sport – there are more hockey rinks in Toronto alone than in the whole of the UK) the EIHL struggles for national coverage, especially in print. This struggle isn't helped by the fact that the league has no London team.
London essentially has two kinds of journalist – the one who believes the city is the centre of the world, and the one who believes the city is the world. Given this, securing national coverage for a game between the Basingstoke Bison and the Hull Stingrays is a tough draw. Securing a team in London would be a smart move for the Elite League. Not because London is the UK's key 'media market' (although it is) and not because London is the UK's most significant city (although it is). The reason London should have a team is because it might just take hold.
A mile or so up the street from me is the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club. Should you find a four-leaf clover growing atop a pile of rocking horse dung and are thus able to buy a ticket, prices start at £48 for Category A games and £33 for Category B. The average age of Premier League attendees is now 40-something, meaning that a whole generation of people are being priced out of the stadiums near which they live. Most of these people will not develop a taste for hockey. But you don't need most of them, just four or five thousand. Build a small arena in '0207' London – different from the now-defunct London Knights, who were foreign-owned and played out in the Docklands – and sell the game, cheap, to young people. It might work. It did for me.
Just as it did, and is, in cities such as Coventry and Belfast. In the years since I sat confused in the 'House of Steel' I've been fortunate enough to attend enough NHL games that I've now lost count of their number. I've been fortunate enough to find myself in the dressing room of the Philadelphia Flyers, the Washington Capitals and the New York Rangers. I've seen Sidney Crosby score, seen Sean Avery 'monkey dance' in front of Martin Brodeur. I've even watched in amazement as this fruitless obsession of mine actually began to bear fruit, here on theguardian.com.
And I owe it all to the Sheffield Steelers, to British ice hockey. For the first time this century, last year I found myself back at the Sheffield Arena. Unfortunately it wasn't to hear the sound of puck on Plexiglas, but rather to interview a band. As I walked the corridors at ice level, I opened the door to the hockey team's empty dressing room. It didn't really matter that the Steelers weren't there. For me, it seemed as if I'd come home.
So let me ask this favour: if you get the chance to attend one of this season's Elite League games then please do so. It's not much more expensive than the pictures and you might come home with a souvenir puck, or someone's front tooth. Not only that, but you will be supporting something that is local to you in more ways than geography. Try it once, you never know. I'm not going to say that the experience will change your life, but it certainly changed mine.
I am indebted to the Elite League's media liaison Ooficer Andy Costigan and Sheffield Steelers PR hockeypedia David Simms for their help with this column. In terms of predictions, both men tell me that the Steelers, Coventry Blaze and Belfast Giants will be strong this term, and that's good enough for me. Regular readers of this column last season will be, er, delighted to know that today's post is the first of this season's fortnightly dispatches. Same place, two weeks' time, then?

UPVC window company Fenesta to expend its retail reach in Karnatka.
Fenesta UPVC window company is appointing dealers across the country, including major cities of Karnataka like Mangalore, Bangalore, Mysore, Shimoga and Belgaum to expand its retail reach.
Fenesta is appointing dealers across the country, including major cities of Karnataka like Mangalore, Bangalore, Mysore, Shimoga and Belgaum to expand its retail reach. These dealers would set up exclusive showrooms or display centres which would display the entire range of Fenesta Windows including sliders, casements, tilt and turn, bays and combination windows.
Two such dealers have already set up exclusive showrooms in Bangalore and Mangalore besides several others in the three metros including Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi. The company has also set up an exclusive showroom recently in Bhubaneswar. The Mangalore showroom has come up at Deepa Plaza, M.G. Road, Mangalore and the Bangalore showroom and in-shop displays are at Lavelle Road, Edward Road, Manjunatha Nagar, RT Nagar, Hebbal, Varthur Main Road, Appajappa Complex and Outer Ring Road.
Fenesta also it's stores at THEOBOLD Road, Mysore and Basavanagalli, Belgum.
Fenesta is simultaneously expanding its retail network to various other tier 2 cities in India including Mumbai, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Alibaug, Lonavala, Bhopal, Ludhiana, Jammu, Jalandhar, Raipur, Vijayawada, Tanjore, Vellour, Tirunevelli, Guwahati, Baroda, Surat, Ahmedabad, Rajkot and various cities in Orissa and West Bengal. By the end of this year, it hopes to be present in over 50 cities across India.
Fenesta has also adopted the popular 'shop-in-shop' concept for marketing its windows. The company has decided to tie-up with various players operating in the home improvement fold in Karnataka and adjoining states.
For the last 5 years, Fenesta windows have been immensely popular among leading builders, architects and interior designers across the country. Till date, the company has installed over 4,00,000 windows and has to it's credit repeat orders from many clients. Since Fenesta's foray into retail, these windows are gaining rapid acceptance among retails clients as well.
"Changing home windows is a hot new idea in home improvement and renovation. Fenesta's exclusive sales outlets in Mangalore and Bangalore will help us immensely to take our UPVC windows brand closer to the end customer," Mr. Sandeep Mathur, Business Head, Fenesta Building Systems, said.
"Fenesta windows are specially engineered to suit the needs of various cities in Karnataka – the windows can withstand torrential rains and high speed wind which makes them ideal for high rise buildings and heavy monsoon areas", he further added.
Priced in the range of Rs. 400 to Rs. 700 per sq.ft., Fenesta UPVC windows offer a number of benefits over conventional wood, aluminum and steel windows. Some of these benefits, that greatly improves quality of life, are as follows:
– Noise and Dust Proof: Silicon sealing, multi point locks and non-conducting properties of UPVC make these windows noise and dust proof
– Ventilation:
– Maintenance free and long lasting – These windows do not require paint or polishing and are therefore maintenance free.
– Saves Energy – These windows cuts air conditioning costs significantly.
The company has focused on building a strong infrastructure and 360° service capabilities. To ensure timely deliveries in the Karnataka region, a fabrication facility has been set up on the outskirts of Bangalore. The company has also set up an all India Customer Care Number; 6001 5555, which takes care of each customer's pre and post installation needs. It is a local number from all major Indian cities.

Louisa Catherine Johnson to John Quincy Adams, 27 Mar. 1797
London March 27th1797
The official account is arrived and your Father and Mr. Jefferson are Elected President and Vice President
In a letter from Mr J. to your father, he says "notwithstanding the efforts of his enemies to make the people believe otherwise, he aspires to no higher post than that of Vice President. that he will serve with pleasure under Mr. Adams, and he flatters himself they shall act together, with as much harmony, as they have done heretofore
Mr. Washingtons address on announcing the choice, is likewise come, but my father has not yet seen it—The Merchants of Philadelphia, were to give a superb entertainment, on the day he resigned his situation, and became a private man—
Mr. Hall means to write you shortly. he will inform you more correctly than I can of these Events— —
I suppose you have seen Mr. Pinckney—we understand by a Gentleman lately from Paris, that the French are determined never to recieve him as Minister— —
Thank you my friend for your very kind letter of the 14th I am happy to hear that the society at the Hague is so
pleasant were you to partake of the amusements it affords more frequently you perhaps
might find it less insipid—you are I think too young a man to devote all your time to
your books, and solitude, if you now indulge this distaste to society, what will you do
some years hence, even your Louisa's may then become irksome, and unpleasant, indeed my
beloved friend it is a dangerous indulgence, you know I think it prejudicial to your
health, excuse me <
[] I say hurtful to your temper—I should not have given my sentiments so
freely my Adams, had I not observed the same expression, in two or three of your
letters—I think it a pity that you so calculated to adorn society, should encourage a
disposition improper, for the station in which you are placed, and in which you are
likely to remain—the extreme dislike I have to what is called society, enables me to

Level Kit 2005 1500
Do you get a better ride from a Key lift, than tightening you factory keys? I've read you can run 35"s with a 2" lift, but you need to use 1/4" spacers. What is the best spacer to use, I haven't seen or heard the use of longer wheel studs, which, I think you would need from the 1/4" loss of the spacer. I have seen some that bolt to your wheel studs that have stud for you wheel, expensive probably safer. The other ? Should I get 2" lift shocks for the front? Thanks for any help or words of wisdom. Keep up the great work:smiley_thumbs_up:

"I promise." I whisper softly, looking at the sleeping Eve.
I bite my lip, turning invisable. Should I stay or should I go?
I sit back down by her bed, a pain prickling my neck that's been nagging me from the first time Eve mentioned the vampire bites. I run my hand over the cover of the book, my thoughts turning back to Mike.
A warm glow of hope travels through my fingertips, I could do it. I could bring him back. All of the things I have imagined between the two of us can still happen, if I bring him back.
Two nurses coming in the room, checking Eves machines, and walking out again.
I look at my hand, feeling the warm sensation running down from my fingertips. I sigh, getting to my feet as I try not to get any of this strange silver blood on the floor.
"I'll be back Eve and when I am, I'm going to find out everything about the physco that did this to you. And then I'll kill him. No one, no matter if he was a vampire and now some freaky strange creature will ever get away with hurting my friends!" With a smile on my lips, I walk out, knowing that if anyone just hurt me would feel like their're going mad hearing a voice with no person speaking them.
I run out the hospital, back in the forests, back visable.
I grip the book hard, my knuckles white and my fingers on my left hand still bleeding the silver liquid.
Further and further I head through the forest, getting as far away from anysigns of humans as possible. I don't want anyone to bother me, not now anyway, I just want to be alone while I think.
I look around, hearing the sounds of life in the forests as I try to think out what I was going to do now.
I think about all the people I have lost, Mikes' face is the clearest out of all of them; even Matts. I can't keep doing this, not anymore.
I've only got two choses really: go away, start a fresh and keep myself distant from everyone and everything, live life an empty shell.
Or, I could bring Mike back.
I wipe the blood on my dress, glad it has finally stopped bleeding, as I sit onthe ground with my legs crossed.
The book opens in my hands, turning to the page that I'm longing to read out of.
I trace the words with my fingers, my blood sticking to the page, just like the book tells me to.
The air around me grows cold, the wind starting to pick up. I now can't here the sounds of forest life anymore, just my blood pumping through my veins, excitement near to overpowering me.
"Here goes nothing." I whisper, sitting up straighter, licking my lips as I feel the power of the words I'm about to speak weighing on my tounge. A smile comes onto my face, soon Mike will be back here and it'll be like none of this ever happened.

As Distinguished Lecturer Carlos Díaz will present:The Evolution of Copper Smelting Practices in the Last Four Decades
The lecture will provide a retrospective look at the dramatic changes that have taken place in copper smelting in the last three decades. Topics include: the development of autogenous, increasingly more intensive, environmentally sound and energy-efficient smelting processes; significant improvements in Peirce-Smith converting practices and, at the same time, the commercialization of alternative continuous converting routes; the consequent expansion and modernization of smelters; the increasing compliance with strict government environment regulations in most copper-producing regions of the world; the realignment of the copper smelting industry throughout the world; and trends in copper smelting R&D. The lecture concludes with a look at the future advancement of copper smelting technology.

Inheritances and the distribution of wealth or whatever happened to the great inheritance boom?

Using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), we found that on average over the period from 1989 to 2007, about one fifth of American households at a given point of time reported a wealth transfer and these accounted for quite a sizeable figure, about a quarter of their net worth. Over the lifetime, about 30 percent of households could expect to receive a wealth transfer and these would account for close to 40 % of their net worth near time of death. However, there is little evidence of an inheritance "boom." In fact, from 1989 to 2007, the share of households reporting a wealth transfer fell by 2.5 percentage points, a time trend statistically significant at the one percent level. The average value of inheritances received among all households did increase but at a slow pace, by 10 %; the time trend is not statistically significant. Wealth transfers as a proportion of current net worth fell sharply over this period, from 29 to 19 %, though the time trend once again is not statistically significant. We also found that inheritances and other wealth transfers tend to be equalizing in terms of the distribution of household wealth, though a number of caveats apply to this result.


text: Rodrigo Cavaca is one of the top fighters in the "Pesadissimo" jiu jitsu division, who became one of the main coaches of the Checkmat team, producing several high end athletes through his academy in Santos (Sao Paulo), competitors such asMarcus Almeida, Nivaldo Oliveira, Michelle Nicolini. In 2010 Cavaca had one of his best years as a competitor, winning the world title and the Brazilian national title, cementing his name as one of the great jiu jitsu fighters of his generation, this success was closely tied with Cavaca's advancements on the Straight Ankle Lock, a position he made popular in the sport after working with the American grappling coach Roli Delgado. On October 2013 however, coach Rodrigo Cavaca abandoned the Checkmat team to lead his own team, Zenith Jiu Jitsu alongside Robert Drysdale. Rodrigo Cavaca Jiu Jitsu Full Name: Rodrigo Henriques Cavaca Lineage: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Carlson Gracie > Élcio Figueiredo > Rodrigo Cavaca Main Achievements: IBJJF World Champion (2010) IBJJF European Champion (2010/2009) CBJJ Brazilian National Champion (2010/2008) IBJJF World Championship Runner-up (2009) IBJJF Pan American Championship Runner-up (2009/2017) IBJJF Pan American Championship 3rd Place (2010/2008) Favourite Position/Technique: Straight Ankle Lock Weight Division: Super Pesado (under 221lbs), Pesadíssimo (over 221lbs) Association/Team: Cavaca Fight Trainer/Zenith. Rodrigo Cavaca Biography Rodrigo was born in Santos, Brazil, on the 27th of January 1981. Growing up Cavaca had always been a football (soccer) buff, having played competitively in Futebol de Salao (also known as 5-a-side). It was only when Rodrigo reached 19 years of age that he decided to take a shot at Jiu Jitsu, he had a couple of very good friends who were blue belts and were always talking about BJJ, challenging the big man to train with them, one day he finally said yes. His first training was at his home town of Santos with an instructor called Sarruço in a satellite academy of Alliance. He stayed with Sarruço for the most part of two years, achieving the blue belt at this academy. With time his footballing career seemed to be going nowhere and he decided to start enjoying the benefits of Jiu Jitsu, a sport where he already showed tremendous potential. After these two years with Sarruço he decided to move on to the Integração Jiu Jitsu Team in Santos as the training in his previous academy was just not competitive enough for Cavaca. At the Integração he found new, more challenging training partners and also his new instructor, Élcio Figueiredo, a Carlson Gracie black belt who ran the academy. With a new academy and a lot of hard work, Cavaca managed to ad some big wins to his BJJ curriculum, such as 2 titles in the "Brasileiro" (the Brazilian National Championships) and two "Mundial" titles in the purple and brown belt divisions. After 5 years with Figueiredo he received his black belt (28th of October 2005). Having reached two World titles in the lower belts, it was time to put his black belt to the ultimate test, at the Worlds. Unfortunately in the Jiu Jitsu game, if you are not evolving you are regressing and the small Integração team in Santos wasn't big enough for Cavaca's hopes of one day becoming a World champion, and so he sought out Leonardo Vieira who at the time was one of the head teachers of the Brasa team in Sao Paulo. This was one of the best teams in the World at the time, with a cartel of fighters such as Vieira himself, Robert Drysdale, Demian Maia, André Galvão, Lucas Leite, Felippe Porto "Linguica" (rest in peace), and many, many others. Cavaca started training there 3 times per week, making the travel between the two cities. After 2 years fighting for the Brasa banner, there was a split in the team. Leonardo Vieira then founded another team with his brother called Checkmat and Rodrigo followed his instructor. Cavaca then opened an affiliate academy of Checkmat's in Santos and a few more around the World. On October 2013 however, coach Rodrigo Cavaca anounced he was leaving Checkmat team to lead his own team.
