Faster production at lower cost with automated generalisation
Generalisation – producing small scale maps from large scale data – is traditionally a complex and time-consuming process.
Experienced cartographers must decide which data to discard, which to keep and how it should be represented as the map scale is reduced. Decisions on how to aggregate, simplify or separate features require skill and experience to maintain clarity in the finished product. Done well, the end result looks intuitive, though the process is complex.
By encoding cartographers' experience into user-managed rules, our generalisation technology dramatically reduces the time required for map production.
"Auto-generalisation ensures that all states can deliver data in the same structure and to the same quality for the customer."
Dr Dietrich Schürer, Head of the ATKIS Generalisation Technical Committee | AdV

Automation makes AdV 40 per cent faster
AdV worked with 1Spatial to develop an automated, "context-aware" solution for map generalisation. The project was one of the largest generalisation projects in Europe and is now used for the production of all maps by AdV.Read more
Generalising large scale data shouldn't require large scale effort
National Mapping Agencies and other users of geospatial data at different scales invest a large amount of time in producing maps (digital or paper) at different scales. The ideal solution is to maintain only the large scale data as the single source of truth from which to derive data at all scales.
Our solution, developed over many years of working with some of the finest National Mapping Agencies in the world, converts the experience and skill of your expert cartographers into a set of objective, consistent and repeatable rules.
These rules are user-defined and user-managed. No programming or developer-coding is necessary. The rules are held in a central repository and managed using the user interface.
Specific judgements can be automated too. For example, if a small lake is fed and drained by two rivers, our technology can decide the point at which the lake is too small to represent. It will then connect the two rivers to avoid leaving a gap.
Context-sensitive, intelligent rules also enable time-saving partial re-generalisation following a change to the base data. A new building or road junction does not require re-generalising the entire dataset, so your maps can be kept automatically up to date.
Benefits of our rules-based approach to automatic generalisation include:
- Save time and effort – the German mapping agency AdV achieved a 40% reduction in map production times
- Produce maps more frequently – as maps can be made more quickly, they can be updated more regularly improving accuracy and value
- Enable a single source of truth – Many agencies still run separate surveys and manage separate databases for every map scale. Automated generalisation produces all series and scales from a single, central database; one survey, one timescale and all your data in sync
- Improve consistency – ensure similar features are represented consistently on different maps to improve quality and user safety.

Atlantic County Dems
hypocritical on race
Regarding the Jan. 16 letter from Atlantic County Democratic Chairman Jim Schroeder, "Atlantic County Dems more diverse than GOP," claiming that I am bringing race into political discourse:
I wasn't the one who injected racial politics into our county. Two years ago, in a deplorable effort to divide voters along racial lines, the Democratic chairman deplored our "all white Republican slate."
Now Democrats are fielding state Senate and Assembly candidates with no African American representation at all. It's hypocrisy, plain and simple.
Last year, despite record unemployment and high rates of violent crime, more than 95 percent of the African American community voted Democratic. If Republicans received that kind of overwhelming support, I'd make certain that I had African American representation on my ticket every year, not just when it's convenient.
And I'd make sure they receive the same amount of money for their campaigns as their white running mates. Remember when Sen. Jim Whelan last ran? The Democratic establishment spent millions on his campaign, while his African American running mate for the Assembly, Damon Tyner, received a scant few thousand dollars. How about that for equality?
This year I hope voters will not allow their support to be taken for granted by one political party. Make sure your trust is based on more than lip service.
Atlantic County Republican Committee
Editorial wrong
on ex-offenders, jobs
The Feb. 12 editorial, "Jobs for ex-offenders/Ban the box," was incorrect and endorsed the wrong path to curb recidivism. Don't you think you are entitled to know whom you are hiring? Why do you think employment applications were created in the first place?
I understand that people released from prison usually have little money and often end up on a street corner trying to start their lives over again. They need help. Perhaps we need a new program to help people who get released from prison start their lives down the honest, right path and become productive members of society. Many people who get released from prison do have a talent and a lot to offer. What they need is a program and sponsors and a purpose to ensure that they do not fall through the cracks of recidivism.
But that shouldn't include withholding information about their criminal records until after they have been offered a job.

Liberals are confused
on death penalty, abortion
I've been reading the back and forth in Voice of the People between liberals and conservatives calling each other names over guns, spending, taxes. Who said what, who saved whom, who spent more - it's the same old, same old.
But one opinion in particular struck me. The writer of the Feb. 10 letter, "Liberals have made important contributions," thought it was hypocritical of pro-life people to be against abortion and for the death penalty. I had to laugh.
I consider murderers to be a cancer on society that should be cut out and killed. The liberal considers a child or a fetus to be expendable. I am pro death penalty and anti-abortion because I understand the difference between an innocent child and a murderer. Most liberals don't. They're just confused. But at the risk of being a name-caller, that's why they're liberals.

picking up child at school
Regarding the Feb. 15 story, "1 charged in abduction of girl from Philly school":
When a child is being picked up by someone other than a parent, a full-face picture must be taken by the school's office. Anyone authorized to pick up a child would not be offended. Anyone claiming to be offended should not be allowed to take the child, and an Amber Alert should be sent out immediately, without any delay.
This little girl from Philadelphia, who was found in a playground the next day wearing only a T-shirt, was certainly lucky to be rescued, as freezing weather was arriving.

Put the children first
in Pleasantville schools
Regarding the suspension of the Pleasantville school superintendent and her subsequent reinstatement a day later by the district's state-appointed monitor:
I find it very unusual that supposedly professional people could behave so inappropriately at a school board meeting.
It also concerns me that most of the critics were Pleasantville residents who did not feel this school district was capable of educating their own children and thus sent them to out-of-district schools.
The entire scenario seemed orchestrated. How sad it is for our children when education is based on favoritism.
If this school district is not reliable or capable of educating your children, then I would suggest all involved do some soul searching. It is our responsibility to make sure our children are educated by the best accountable and responsible administrative team and to focus on their healthy learning environment.

Obama clearly addicted
to taxes and spending
President Barack Obama's slick State of the Union address was further proof that he is addicted to taxes, spending and big government. And the clueless robots of the Democratic Party can only stand and cheer as America spirals toward inevitable bankruptcy.
Obama was even afraid to use the term "spend," so he used the word "invest" instead. Does the president really think the American people are that stupid?
It appears that our president is determined to create an electorate of dependents who cannot live without the services of an all-powerful big government, even though that government will bankrupt this country and destroy America for generations to come.
Wake up, America, before it's too late.

Why does A.C. ignore
decaying buildings?
How can Atlantic City ever expect to have people other than speculators invest in real estate in this town?
The code-enforcement staff must have their hands tied by some superpower that continues to allow decaying properties to remain standing.
No other municipality on Absecon Island would allow this. So why does Atlantic City?

This review was first published in August 2000
I have not seen Jun Tanaka, chef of the recently opened Chives, either on television or front of house in the restaurant. He is, I am reliably told, quite as delectable as Jamie Oliver, only it would be comparing sushi with sarnie. Tanaka, who most recently worked as sous-chef for Eric Chavot at The Capital, is heading up the kitchen in the latest outlet of The Red Pepper Group. Indeed, in deference to the colourful qualifiers of the group's restaurant names which include White Onion, Green Olive and Purple Sage, Chives is soon to be renamed Blue Chives.
The name, however it is put, gives scant clue to the style of cooking. My definition is that it is the product of an unusually talented chef. The revelation came slowly. The meal got off to a low key start in the sense that the look of the deep, narrow restaurant is nothing remarkable but for a small garden at the back, and, on a Monday evening, there were few other diners to provide distraction. The graphics of the menu, complete with an illogical use of capital letters, are peculiarly old-fashioned and the coherence which came about through the ability of the kitchen is not apparent in the description of dishes which have in common only a faint Provencal theme.
You might get my point when I describe our first courses: terrine of chicken and red peppers (a dish of the day) and king prawn beignets with fresh mango chutney (£2 supplement). In my view, red peppers should be used with great circumspection. They can have a bitter intrusiveness but, in this case, they were ripe and mellow and the chicken, with which they were layered, had seemingly lived a life of some adventure, good diet and contentment. Either that, or it had been very wisely marinated. The prawns were beautifully crisply fried, the mango chutney a bit under-powered, being, in fact, just diced mango with perhaps a bit of lemon juice. In the main course, roasted fillet of pork was served with a stupendously good fricassee of broad beans, peas and asparagus in a subtle foaming sauce. The meat, although daringly lightly cooked, was tender and delicious. Equally fine was poached gnocchi flavoured with herbs surrounded by tiny summer vegetables and an asparagus velouté.
Much to the consternation of the well-meaning French waiter, we declined dessert, but had I been up for the calories I would have chosen bitter chocolate tart with warm caramelised cherries or perhaps tuile of summer berries with clotted-cream ice-cream.
Just before we left a customer who had apparently already become something of a regular, and who had been showing his family a good time on his mum's birthday, came to the service counter and said in a loud voice (we are in Fulham): "The food here is much better than at The Square." Then he said it again. I wouldn't like to comment, except to say that it is not a ridiculous comparison.

Andre Reed, one of the greatest receivers in Buffalo Bills history, probably was happy to learn owner Ralph Wilson had been chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Wilson's election, however, doesn't bode well for Reed.
Wilson and Bills defensive end Bruce Smith were among the six selected Saturday for this year's Hall of Fame class.
But Reed, among the 17 finalists, continues to fade in contention each year. Popular belief among NFL experts is that he needs Cris Carter to gain entry first because of their numbers.
Wilson's inclusion knocked Carter out. That not only kept the logjam ahead of Reed, but developments indicate his delay will grow longer. It looks like Reed's now in line behind tight end Shannon Sharpe, too.
The Board of Selectors on Saturday included Sharpe in their top 10, just outside the cut. Reed was not in their top 10. Reed was among the first group of five finalists eliminated from Saturday's debate. So another pass catcher is ahead of him in the Hall of Fame's pecking order.
Wilson's election was surprising. There was no buzz this year for Wilson, who was passed over as a finalist in 2001 and 2003. His credentials hadn't changed since then. In fact, he has lost favor among Bills fans during their nine-year playoff drought.
His decision to sell home games to Toronto infuriated many, as did his decision to retain head coach Dick Jauron.
Wilson's selection was more about timing than anything else. There was a current of sentimentality when the Board of Selectors debated his worthiness. He's 90 years old. They felt he should be honored while he could enjoy the celebration.
I don't have a problem with Wilson as a Hall of Famer. He was an AFL pioneer, owning not only the Bills but also the Oakland Raiders for a brief time. He oversaw a club that went to the Super Bowl four straight times.
Many also point to the fact Wilson never moved the Bills out of Buffalo even though he could've packed up and hauled out for more money in another town. That notion I will dismiss as a reason for induction. That's material for the Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame, not Canton.
That said, Wilson should have been selected for Canton eventually. But getting in this year will be costly to Reed.
Reed retired with what appeared to be slam-dunk credentials, but as passing offenses became increasingly prolific, his stats have slid down the charts. The fact he retired with fewer than 1,000 career catches could hurt him.
Next year, Jerry Rice and Tim Brown will become eligible, too. Rice is a first-ballot Hall of Famer if ever there was one. Rice's numbers will put him in Reed's neighborhood.
That means Reed likely will be looking at 2012 at the soonest, but more than likely even later.
Reed also might be impacted by the sheer number of Bills in the Hall of Fame. At some point, the Board of Selectors might begin to wonder how many players are enough from a team that never won a Super Bowl. Already in from those Bills teams are coach Marv Levy, quarterback Jim Kelly, running back Thurman Thomas, receiver James Lofton -- and now Smith and Wilson.

It does great towing, and in 4x4. My dog loves that the back seat folds down flat. and I love that it does too especially since it has plastic, so he does not tear up the seats.

Love the truck ride that this vehicle has. Have been down roads that I would not have even looked at twice in my previous car and this things handles them without a problem. Is even a nice traveling vehicle. Gas mileage isn't fantastic but not much worse then a lot of cars or minivans. Got 24mpg on a trip to the beach with the A/C on.

"I have had my Xterra for about 15 months now and the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. I bought it because I wanted a capable and rugged vehicle on all roads in all conditions. It succeeds there but falls short in a few other areas. It is great on snow covered, icy roads, dirt and pretty much whatever you throw at it. However, I think the technology lacks a little bit. It would have been nice to have things like radio controls on the steering wheel, blue tooth integrated system, nav or at least an upgraded stereo. It seems like just one year later a lot of those things are more common in standard models. At the time they didn't matter to me but having those luxuries would have been nice. Other than that it is a good ride with average mileage for an SUV."

8pm-3am, Fabric, 77a Charterhouse Street, EC1. £18. Tube: Farringdon. Tel: 020 7336 8898
Sweden has historically been the dominant Scandinavian force in European pop, largely thanks to Abba. However, plucky Norway now seems to be stealing Sweden's thunder for the first time since boy band A-Ha lit up the Eighties.
Royksöpp's comfortable house stylings, and the Kings of Convenience's pinewood acoustica, have alerted us to the "Bergen scene", and, in Annie Norway could have its very own dancing queen.
Her instant pop classics, such as Heartbeat and Chewing Gum, soon to be heard on her album, Anniemal, are the focus of a 30-strong showcase at hip superclub Fabric, celebrating 100 years of Norwegian independence.
Look out, too, for folky guitarist Magnet, psychedelic rockers King Midas, the electronica-infused jazz trumpeter, Nils Petter Molvær, and exciting post-house act Biosphere.

Low prices and large customer base aside, can you expect Dollar Beard Club's products to help you "grow your beard like never before"? Even then, are they a better value than the competition?
First, let's talk briefly about beard hair.
Beard Hair vs. Other Body Hair
Before puberty, most of the hair on a man's body is known as vellus hair, which is soft and straight. On the scalp is another type of hair, known as terminal, which is longer, thicker, and darker than other hair on the body.
After puberty, however, most of a man's body hair (with the exception of the head) turns into something called androgenic hair, which is thick, curly, and wiry. It looks and feels so much different than scalp hair because these follicles twist as a result of being exposed to testosterone.
Pro tip: The thickness and overall coverage of a man's beard has a lot to do with the amount of testosterone in his body, which can't be changed a whole lot using oils, waxes, and so forth.
However, you can make sure your body has all the essential nutrients it needs to maximize results within your genetic limits, including vitamin B5, C, and E; biotin, inositol, niacin, and more.
Because of their different texture and place on the body, beard hair typically requires different care than head hair. For example, because facial skin is more sensitive than scalp skin, a shampoo that works great for cleansing head hair could be overly drying for the face.
Because of its wiry, unruly texture, beard hair also typically requires more conditioning than does scalp hair, as well as specialty tools, like beard brushes and combs.
Given this, how does Dollar Beard Club claim to help? Let's take an in-depth look at their lineup.
How Does Dollar Beard Club Work? What Uncut Beard Co. Products Do They Offer?
Dollar Beard Club offers customers a variety of different products they claim will help nurture your beard, improve its health and appearance, and deliver thicker results.
When building your kit, the process works over five steps:
Step 1: Choose Your Beard Oils
Dollar Beard Club tells us their Original and Sandalwood-scented oils can help provide nourishment and keep your beard "silky, smooth, and smelling manly."
All their beard oils are made from natural ingredients and are free of chemicals and preservatives, which can help minimize beard itch, improve shine without greasiness, and repair damaged hair.
The Original Scent includes the following ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Argan Oil, and Fir Needle.

Step 2: Choose Balms & Waxes

Step 3: Choose Your All-Natural Shower Items
Body Wash
According to Dollar Beard Club, their Body Wash's cleansing formula can help leave you feeling "healthier, stronger, and ready to conquer the world."

With this out of the way, how much will you pay for these products?
Does a Dollar Beard Club Membership Only Cost $1?
Dollar Beard Club products are priced as follows:
Beard Oils
- 0.5oz Bottle: $1/mo
- 2oz Bottle: $4/mo
Balms & Waxes
- Balm (1oz): $7/mo
- Cream (2oz): $8/mo
- Wax (0.5oz): $6/mo
All-Natural Shower Items

- Beard Comb: $5

Regardless of your order total, it appears you'll pay a flat $3.99 for S&H.
According to the company's FAQ, your recurring billing date is determined by your original signup date. So, if you joined on the first, your next shipment will be billed and processed on the first of each month.
All Dollar Beard Club memberships are billed on a month-to-month basis, although there are no contracts or commitments. You can cancel anytime by following these steps:
- Go to Edit Box
- Remove all items from your box
- Click Update to save the changes
- Follow cancellation steps
After their warehouse processes orders, however, no refunds or cancellations are available on Dollar Beard Club products.
As you can see, despite what the company's name might lead you to believe, the only product available for $1 is their oil. And if that's all your budget will allow, or if that's the only product you're interested in, you'll pay 4X this amount in S&H charges.
What Can We Learn From Dollar Beard Club Reviews?
Although we're told Dollar Beard Club has more than 150,000 members, there wasn't a whole lot of online feedback for the company at the time of our research.
We found a fairly in-depth three-part review on SoCalSessions.com, who immediately liked the well-designed products and quality packaging.
Overall, they found them to have good smells that tended to last all day. They also experience softer, more manageable beards using them, although they noted that it might take several uses before delivering meaningful results.
In the case of the shampoo, the author mentioned that you'll need a lot, which may not last a full month, depending on the length and thickness of your beard. They also felt that the beard oil's price was great, but it doesn't seem to come with a dropper.
Below these reviews, several commenters's provided feedback of their own, which referenced the inability to suspend a subscription (it can only be changed or canceled), website issues, and unresponsive customer support (this issue appears to have since been addressed).
Reddit Feedback
We also found nine user comments on Reddit, several of whom noted that they received more product than they could use in a month, leading to a lot of waste (again, you can't suspend your subscription).
Many seemed to enjoy the quality of the products, however, but found their scent selection limited and didn't appreciate that you can't order kits without at least one bottle of oil.
Are There Other Subscription Services Like Dollar Beard Club?
There are certainly dozens of companies that offer beard grooming products, including options like Beardbrand and Beard Czar, although there are many popular competitors like TOPPBox, Beard Care Club, Beardology, The Roughneck Beard Company, Beard of God, and more.
On top of this, some existing discovery commerce companies like Cratejoy and Birchbox also offer beard-based subscription plans.
Compared to Dollar Beard Club, you'll pay anywhere between $4.99 and $40 for these subscription options, while products from standalone retailers tend to come with much higher prices (but without any autoship program).
Will You Achieve a Better Beard with a Dollar Beard Club Subscription?
Because only some of their oils are priced at $1, along with the fact that you'll have to pay a minimum of $3.99 S&H each month, it might seem like Dollar Beard Club's name doesn't fully represent what they offer.
However, they still tend to feature meaningfully lower prices than much of the competition and seem to come with high marks from customers, based on quality and performance.
This is despite the fact that WebMD indicates there's little clinical evidence showing their ingredients can work as much more than fragrances, emollients, and moisturizers. This also appears to be the case for their hair supplement.
So at least from this perspective, they don't seem to be a whole lot different than many other beard care products you'll find out there.
In layman's terms, what does this mean from an efficacy standpoint? Like those found in standard hair care products for your head and scalp, the ingredients in Dollar Beard Club products might help soften your beard and improve its feel, make it more manageable and tame unruliness, and increase its shine and boost appearance.
However, according to authoritative websites like WebMD, there's little clinical evidence that they'll help speed up growth, or—unless your beard is especially out of control—provide dramatic results from an appearance perspective.
Bottom line? If the price is your number one factor, then it could be difficult to beat Dollar Beard Club. And based on limited customer feedback, despite their competitive prices, they seem to deliver solid quality.
While you won't be able to get a refund on your Dollar Beard Club products after being processed, the good news is that you can modify or cancel your subscription at any time, without any fees or further obligation.

Can't beat the price or quality
I'm on my fourth month using Dollard Beard Club and am pretty satisfied with the product quality and price. I do wish you could buy things instantly and not have to wait on the monthly shipment to process. That's one of the main drawbacks of using Dollar Beard Club.
I also would like to see more variety in the scents they offer. The choices are Original (pine) and Sandalwood. My latest order was the sandalwood scent, which I didn't like at first, but it is growing on me. I'll probably be changing my order back to Original, though.
For the price, you can't beat Dollar Beard Club. I've tried to order oils from other companies, but I just can't bring myself to pay $20 for the same thing I can get at Dollar Beard Club for $4.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friendComments (0)

Great product, website/shipping could use improvement
I absolutely love their products and marketing. I love the concept of what they're doing here, but the hard part is knowing just how much product you'll need. With a monthly subscription, you're likely to be shipped way too much (either that or your beard will be dripping oil every day). If you're like me, you'd rather just buy a larger quantity to save on unnecessary shipping costs (which is definitely not cheap).
The problem I encountered was suspending my account temporarily. When turned the subscription back on, I had to wait until my next shipping date, which was nearly a month later. I couldn't get them to send it right away. The next time I did this, it took three months, and I still didn't get my order, so I finally threw my hands in the air.
I tried contacting the company but didn't get anywhere with it, so I went to a competitor. In my humble opinion, they need to iron this out and offer a "Buy It Now" button. Their sales would increase. The concept they have is great, but the execution could use some improvement. If shipping was more affordable or even included, I would be much more likely to let the monthly campaign work as designed.
I have used other company's products, and while most pretty much offer the same thing, I prefer the Dollar Beard Club. My beard felt less greasy and overall much softer. The product gets five stars, but the website gets two and a half stars. Come on Dollar Beard Club. I want to keep using your product. Help me out.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friendComments (1)View all 1 commentsHide comments

Coconut oil works great, and it costs about $11 for a kilogram. You can add essential oils if you like the different scents.

A very distinctive insect - the longitudinal stripes on the thorax confirm your ID. I bet it was on the edge of your pond...
Bob Ford
yes thats right
17 July 2009 - 2:51pm squirrel
yes thats right
Agree that the stripy thorax and general appearance confirm Helophilus, but it can be tricky sorting out the five species in this genus. Having said that, I agree that this one does look most likely to be H. pendulus, which is also the most widespread of the species.

I have an iMon PAD remote, which (mostly) works as it should [some buttons still don't work at all], but recently the volume up and volume down buttons have been muting the audio altogether (though they show the correct changes in volume in the OSD).
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this, as it's a pain with the PuleAudio bug that won't unmute the sound unless I use the mixer.

Today easyJet will ferry 10,000 people to, from and around Europe. Liverpool to Barcelona, Bristol to Hamburg, Nottingham to Venice? Such routes would have seemed preposterous a decade ago, as would the fares. Book deftly, and you can pick any of those trips for £50 return or so; easyJet and its emulators have made Britain the global hub of low-cost aviation. Whether you travel for business or beaches, culture or cuisine, shopping or sex, your expectations of Europe have been enhanced by the easyJet effect.
The man who started this short-haul, no-frills airline was, of course, Stelios Haji-Ioannou. I say "of course" because he has become a celebrity while expertly milking the media for coverage. A decade ago, hardly any journalists turned up to see the first easyJet flight; tomorrow, dozens of us will be queuing up to interview Stelios during the birthday celebrations at Luton airport.
The genial Greek Cypriot even has a docu-soap that bears his name: Cruise with Stelios, the Sky One programme that follows the fortunes of his venture into Mediterranean cruising. But most people know him for easyJet, the airline he started aged only 27 with no experience of the airline industry except as a passenger.
At the time, the lowest return fares between London and Glasgow cost about £100, and were heavily restricted. Stelios could sell you a seat for £29 and not care if you wanted to return the same day, the following year or not at all. "Fly to Scotland for the price of a pair of jeans" was his promise; these days, you can fly to somewhere in Eastern Europe that you've probably never heard of for the price of a pair of socks.
For that first flight, easyJet owned a grand total of zero planes, and employed the same number of pilots and cabin crew. It was the epitome of a "virtual" airline, with almost everything bought in. The fleet comprised a pair of Boeing 737s "wet-leased" from GB Airways, ie hired complete with pilots and cabin crew. The airline now has 3,000 flight-deck and cabin crew, with dozens more arriving every week for training at its new academy at Luton. They are needed to continue the expansion of an airline that now flies more people between the UK and Spain than the national carriers, BA and Iberia, combined. Stelios' mission to "paint the world orange" is well under way: key European airports, including Berlin Schönefeld, Geneva and Nice are dominated by easyJet.
Among UK cities, London has by far the widest range of destinations but the rest of the UK has benefited hugely.
How did the affable LSE graduate do it? Partly by tapping in to the twin British affections for a bargain and the underdog. Partly by having deep pockets: the first few months of operation consumed most of the £5m that he had borrowed from his billionaire shipping-magnate father. But mostly by creating an airline from scratch, designing out many of the crippling costs - from in-flight meals to travel agents' commission - that hamper "legacy" airlines. For example, the telephone number on the side of easyJet's first plane went through to a call centre where staff earned 80p for each flight, one-third of the level that agents would expect.
The legacy carriers are trying to catch up and save cash, with many scrapping commission and free catering and adopting ticketless travel. But any new airline has an automatic advantage over a carrier weighed down by pension liabilities and archaic union deals.
The charter airlines, too, have suffered. They have seen their "seat-only" business almost wiped out by no-frills carriers. At the end of last month, the UK's biggest charter airline, Britannia, ceased to exist. The operation - part of the huge German TUI combine - is still flying, but has been rebranded as Thomsonfly, the name of its tiny no-frills offshoot.
Even the cross-Channel ferries have been hit: Hoverspeed has just announced it will abandon its key Dover-Calais route.
Stelios remains the biggest shareholder in easyJet but takes a back seat with the airline to extend the "easy" brand. Today you can go into an easyInternetCafe and rent an easyCar or order an easyPizza. Each enterprise employs the same yield management principles as easyJet, whereby the price of a commodity depends on how far in advance you book, and the predicted level of demand for that particular bed or car or pizza at that specific time.
"Ten years later, I'm still trying to start businesses and make a difference in people's lives," says Stelios. But none of his other easy businesses has matched the success of easyJet. The airline has overtaken "flag carriers" such as Alitalia and Iberia to become one of the big five of European aviation.
David has become Goliath. Or perhaps that should be Goliath's younger brother: easyJet is smaller and less profitable than Ryanair, the Irish airline run by Michael O'Leary, who is seven years Stelios' senior and even more obsessed with driving down costs. Ryanair's deals with airports are legendary. For small cities across Europe, such is the lure of a link with London that sometimes the usual commercial arrangement has been turned on its head, with the local airport actually paying for the privilege of handling Mr O'Leary's passengers.
Passengers in the UK have become accustomed to the idea of cheap flights to places they didn't know they wanted to visit until Ryanair started flying there. In the past fortnight, an alphabet soup of Polish cities has joined the Irish airline's network from Stansted. Bydgoszcz, Rzeszow or Szczecin, anyone? Already there are plenty of takers, mainly Poles who previously endured the ghastly bus journey of 24 hours or more.
In contrast, easyJet is concentrating on bigger airports and major cities. The airline's main hub is now Gatwick, from which it flies to more European destinations than BA. Luton may have been eclipsed by the West Sussex airport, yet it still offers dozens more destinations than before Stelios.
The ability to travel cheaply has done far more to break down barriers and cement unity than any amount of initiatives from Brussels. We are all Europeans now, linked by a network of short, cheap hops. But low-cost aviation is changing lives for the worse, say those who live near once-tranquil airports, or environmentalists concerned with the thirst for fuel, caused by our hunger for low-cost aviation.
The next decade for easyJet looks just as challenging as the first. A tax on aviation fuel seems inevitable, as does tougher competition with the giants of European aviation. The three major airline groups - Air France/KLM, British Airways and Lufthansa/ Swiss - are reluctant to cede more ground to easyJet, Ryanair or the third-largest low-cost carrier, Air Berlin. Mr O'Leary believes that one of the big legacy airlines will take over easyJet, leaving Ryanair unchallenged as the no-frills giant. Yet the airline that Stelios started plans to expand remorselessly but carefully. By "joining the dots" on its existing network of major airports, the airline hopes to combine cost efficiencies with the higher fares passengers will pay for flying from airports they have heard of.
Whichever model prevails, the easyJet effect is spreading around the planet. "You're only buying the flying," goes the slogan of Virgin Blue of Australia, one of the many emulators of easyJet. That sentiment will resound at Luton airport tomorrow. While the average airline boss may be gloomy, for the rest of us happiness comes cheap.

It is great option for those who hate to go to parlour. At first it pinches a little while epilating bt after then you get used to the pain. Over all my experience with braun epilator is pretty good.

I am using this product since two years, in the shower. I was hesitant about using epilators but this one really too good.I would recommend shaver for removing slightly longer hairs first and go for epilator over it.

I have been using Panasonic wet & dry epilator before, but its not as I expected. I bough this epilator hoping that it would meet my expectations. Frankly it is the best epilator as it removes tiny hairs. The exfoliator which comes with the device is good enough for removing dead skin once in a while. Seriously an awesome product! :D

Braun has earned a reputation for itself by making sturdy devices that last a lifetime. This series in particular has won hearts of many women who now have the ease of epilating while in the shower. My friend lives in Dubai and she made me use this wet and dry Skin Spa model and I must say its phenomenally good. Two thumbs up for introducing so many attachments.

Testing the generality of the trophic cascade paradigm for sea otters: a case study with kelp forests in northern Washington, USA

Trophic cascade hypotheses for biological communities, linking predation by upper trophic levels to major features of ecological structure and dynamics at lower trophic levels, are widely subscribed and may influence conservation policy. Few such hypotheses have been evaluated for temporal or spatial generality. Previous studies of sea otter (Enhydra lutris) predation along the outer coast of North America suggest a pattern, often elevated to the status of paradigm, in which sea otter presence leads to reduced sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus spp.) biomass and rapid increases in abundance and diversity of annual algal species, followed by a decline in diversity as one or a few perennial algal species become dominant. Both sea otter predation and commercial sea urchin harvest are ecologically and economically important sources of urchin mortality in nearshore benthic systems in northern Washington marine waters. We recorded changes in density of macroalgae in San Juan Channel, a marine reserve in the physically protected inland waters of northern Washington, resulting from three levels of experimental urchin harvest: (1) simulated sea otter predation (monthly complete harvest of sea urchins), (2) simulated commercial urchin harvest (annual size-selective harvest of sea urchins), and (3) no harvest (control). The two experimental urchin removal treatments did not significantly increase the density of perennial (Agarum and Laminaria) or annual (Desmarestia, Costaria, Alaria and Nereocystis) species of macroalgae after 2 years, despite significant and persistent decreases in urchin densities. Our results suggest that other factors such as grazing by other invertebrates, the presence of dense Agarum stands, and recruitment frequency of macroalgae and macroinvertebrates may play a large role in influencing community structure in San Juan Channel and other physically protected marine waters within the range of sea otters.

Empire: Total War: Patch 1.5 released
With Patch 1.5 Creative Assembly adds five new maps to Empire: Total war and fixes several bugs.
Only a few weeks after Empire: total War has been updated to version 1.4, a new patch has been released. Patch 1.5 has been made available and introduces five new maps for the multiplayer part. The developers describe the levels the following way:
• Grassy Flatlands - This is a flat, balanced map designed for competetive/tournament play.
• Austrian Pinnacles - A maze like European landcape with plenty of opportunities to outflank and maneuver around your opponent(s).
• Syrian Ridge - A desert map with several oasis scattered around and a large sandy hill near the centre to dominate the opposition.
• Siberian Plateau - A balanced flat snowy tundra map, heavily forested to allow for ambush and conealed fighting.
• Homestead - An American plains map with several cabin dwellings and low rolling hills with oportunities to seize elevated positions.
All the maps will be enabled for all team sizes - 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4, allowing them all to be played by any number of players.
The Patch and the maps have been published in course of the release of the Warpath extension which can be downloaded via Steam since yesterday.
Besides that Patch 1.5 for Empire: Total War also applies the following changes:
* Fixed a bug which occasionally allowed factions who were not allied to be invited to join a war
* Improved campaign map performance
* Republics will no longer dispute a claim to a throne via a war of succession
* Fixed a crash when pathfinding for embarking/disembarking
* Fixed situation where balance-of-power bar on battle screen was not considering the correct set of reinforcements
* Made the decision of which third-party factions can be involved in a campaign battle slightly fairer
* Interceptions are no longer suppressed when blockading a port
* Fixed rare crash after naval battles
* Fixed rare crash caused by successful revolutionary armies containing units that were not permitted for the resulting government type
* Fixed crash in AI logic structures
* Reduced AI army clustering
* Improved AI invasion troop movement
* Various light infantry behaviour fixes
* Naval and Land unit balancing
* General AI improvements

I forgot how much I loved the flavor of butterscotch until I came across this fab recipe from Cooking Light. But, these satisfying little oat bars won't weigh you down with fat and calories. One bar clocks in at around 150 calories and five grams of fat. Not bad for an "indulgent" treat, right?
Butterscotch Bars
*Recipe from *Cooking LightMakes 36 bars (enough for a party or all your neighbors!)
1 cup packed brown sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
9 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Cooking spray
3/4 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 cups butterscotch morsels (about 8 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted
P.S. More healthy snack--and dessert!--ideas here. Oh, and I'm obsessed with these low-fat brownies these days ...

Michael Laudrup believes there is no danger of Michu leaving Swansea this month as so few of Europe's elite could afford him. The Spaniard has proved to be one of the bargains of the season, having scored 16 goals in 25 appearances since joining for £2million from Rayo Vallecano in the summer. Michu's latest goal set Swansea on course for a 2-0 win at Chelsea in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final. Laudrup was full of praise for the 26-year-old after the Stamford Bridge clash and fully expects him to end the campaign as a Swansea player. "I would never expect a new player to come in and score so many goals, but I can't really say what expectation I had for Michu," the Dane said. "What he is doing in terms of goals is incredible, especially when you think he's never been a number nine. He's always been a defensive midfielder coming from deeper. "But against Chelsea he had one chance, one goal. That's a top-class striker. You'd pay a lot of money for that." Asked...
