Arshavin Juve link cooled
Andrey Arshavin's agent has played down Juventus' alleged interest in the Arsenal attacker.
By Simone Bargellini
Last Updated: 04/01/11 6:22pm
Andrey Arshavin's agent has played down Juventus' alleged interest in the Arsenal attacker.
The Russia international has been linked with a switch to the Serie A outfit in the January transfer window.
But Arshavin's representative, Dennis Lachter, has cooled suggestions the Gunners forward could be on the verge of a move to Italy.
Lachter told Tuttomercatoweb: "It's difficult for me to comment on certain items because it is a player who still has a two-and-half-year contract with Arsenal and there are no formal offers.
"In any case I think it's just speculation. Juventus could have taken Arshavin two-and-a-half-years ago, but they didn't want to.
"The player is happy in London. There could also be possibilities to move in January but, I repeat, we are talking about a player under contract and for which currently there is nothing concrete".

In this thesis, a periodicityoriented thinking and analysis approach is presented with signals from three di erent elds. In the rst study, a Waveform-aligned Adaptive Window (WAAW) technique is considered based on the periodic nature of monophonic audio signals. The periodicity information is extracted before the traditional spectral analysis which uses the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). Instead of xed-sized frames, a dynamic size is determined for each frame based on its cycle length. The direct bene t is that it saves the necessity of a window function but also signi cantly reduces spectral leakage. A new WAAW-based spectrogram is presented which greatly improves visualization through the reduction of spectral noise. An audio recovery experiment proves that WAAW can also improve the performance of audio noise reduction. In the second study, exploration of periodicity is applied to accelerometer-based motion signals recorded from human swimming, resulting in a new swimming-analysis feature extraction technique. Di erent from the traditional technique that is based on key-event identi cation over the raw/ ltered signal, the periodicity-based approach extracts the rate of swimming strokes directly from the periodicity of the signal, identi es the lap count, and detects the total stroke count for each lap through advancement over the cycle lengths. This new extraction approach is shown to be superior to the traditional approaches, both in accuracy and because it can be applied to any measurement axes or stroke type without needing to adjust the implementation parameters. In the third study, the periodic nature of human gait is explored. Similar to the swimming stroke segmentation process, the approach uses the cyclic nature of walking to estimate the stance of each stride from a foot-mounted gyroscope. Compared to the traditional threshold-based method, the direct bene ts of this new approach are that it causes fewer insertion and/or deletion errors and its high accuracy and robustness is less dependent on the prescribed threshold values. The reduction of these errors also results in a more accurate pedestrian dead-reckoning tracking path and stride length calculation. ii A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science, University of Regina. xvi, 159 p. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Enhanced Physicochemical Processes for the Treatment of petroleum-Contaminated Systems Zhao, Shan http://hdl.handle.net/10294/6818 2016-07-28T07:36:00Z 2015-09-01T00:00:00Z Enhanced Physicochemical Processes for the Treatment of petroleum-Contaminated Systems Zhao, Shan In Canada, environmental issues caused by petroleum-contaminated sites are becoming a major concern. Therefore, effective physicochemical remediation technologies are desired for produced water treatment and groundwater remediation in oil fields. In this dissertation research, the feasibility of treating produced water using synthetic polymers combined with natural diatomite was evaluated. Using diatomite as an adsorbent and a coagulant aid, this study provided an economical and enhanced approach for utilizing diatomite in the clean-up of produced water. A pilot-scale electrocoagulation process was developed for enhanced removal of hardness, chemical oxygen demand, and turbidity to mitigate the scaling and fouling of Reverse Osmosis membranes. Response surface methodology was employed to refine operating parameters and to evaluate individual/interactive effects of parameters on pollutant recovery. The modification of palygorskite with gemini surfactants enhanced phenanthrene retention in solid particles from aqueous phase. The effects of solution chemistry on phenanthrene sorption to modified palygorskite were systematically studied. The effectiveness of gemini modified palygorskite as the novel remediation material in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated water remediation was revealed and examined. A multi-level fuzzy-factorial inference approach was proposed to elucidate the sorption behavior of phenanthrene on palygorskite modified with gemini surfactants. Fuzzy vertex analysis discretized the design factors with triangular membership functions into multiple deterministic levels. Examination of curvature effects of factors revealed the nonlinear complexity inherent in the sorption process. The potential interactions among experimental factors were detected, which was meaningful for providing a deep insight into the sorption mechanisms under the influences of factors at different levels. The enhancement of soil retention for phenanthrene was investigated through the sorption barriers created by binary mixture of cationic gemini and nonionic surfactants. The research addressed the sorption characteristic and mechanism of gemini surfactant in complex soil system using a developed Two-step Adsorption and Partition Model. The sorption barrier substantially enhanced the soil retention capabilities for phenanthrene, while the sorption of gemini was inhibited by the increasing nonionic surfactant dose. The interactions among water, soil, surfactant, and contaminant in petroleumcontaminated systems have been revealed. This research can provide reference on the implementation of remediation technologies at petroleum-contaminated sites.

Many of these fields are operated at high producing water/oil ratios (WORs) only marginally above their economic limit due to additional production, handling, and treatment expenses that can average $3/m3 of water. Depending on timing of implementation, operators could achieve very high incremental recoveries approaching 20% OOIP and beyond, as suggested by the experiments conducted in this work. The main premise behind this thesis study is to develop fundamental knowledge of the rheology and flow behavior of polymeric fluids that is essential in creating a detailed screening protocol. The evaluation of these critical parameters is based upon the following: 1) fundamental rheological measurements of non-Newtonian polymeric fluids; 2) injectivity sandpack floods to determine in-situ dynamic viscosities through the concept of Resistance Factor, Fr; 3) immiscible displacement of heavy oil by water and polymers to determine microscopic displacement efficiency; 4) larger-scale, 3D physical modeling of the polymer flood process; and, lastly 5) numerical simulation. A specialized rheometer was used to determine the viscoelastic properties of both hydrolyzed polyacrylamides (HPAM) and hydrophobically associating polyacrylamides (HAP) used in heavy enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. The rheometric analyses indicated that improved resistance to flow due to elastic phenomenon were observed as a function of the polymer type, concentration, molecular weight, degree of hydrophobicity; however, solution shear history, salinity and temperature were found to have a slightly negative effect. Compared to traditional HPAMs, a medium density HAP showed an earlier onset of elastically-dominated flow as determined by its increased elasticity, characteristic relaxation time and Weissenberg number. Sandpack flood results suggested that HAP polymers can exhibit lower Fr values at higher injection rate (easier to inject near wellbore) and higher Fr values at in-situ, reservoir flow rates, i.e. 0.3 m/d (1 ft/d). Immiscible displacement tests from 1D sandpacks showed accelerated recovery from floods employing HAP polymers over HPAM polymers and incremental polymer flood recovery varied from 13.9 %OOIP (low concentration HPAM) to as high as 43 %OOIP (high concentration HAP). A 3D physical model was designed and fabricated to replicate the heavy oil recovery process. The data sets generated were representative of some of the average field recoveries from vertically-developed inverted 5-spot or staggered line drive heavy oil recovery schemes. The 3D model also provided unique insight into the visual renderings of the improved polymer over water displacement of heavy oil during the excavation of the model. The displacement was quite chaotic and fractal during waterflood (RF = 19.5 %OOIP after 0.78 PVs); while the subsequent polymer flood greatly expanded the floodable zones contacted by polymer, increasing the heavy oil recovery by an incremental 34.0 %OOIP (after 0.66 PVs). An additional 7.1 %OOIP was recovered during the 0.70 PVs of extended waterflood; however, much of this was due to displacement by polymer solution still remaining in the model, as oil recovery diminished greatly after dye breakthrough. The simulation of both 1D and 3D experimental physical models indicates that a unique solution to recovery and pressure behaviour could be found using CMG's CMOST module by using experimental and chemical data inputs. Therefore the processes were satisfactorily modeled numerically.

A successful DR implementation relies on both appropriate policy design and enabling technology. Real-time pricing (RTP) and time of use (TOU) have been identified as two important DR policies to motivate residential customers to participate in DR programs. An efficient residential DR model should implement heterogeneous residential load forecasting, multi-criteria optimization (e.g., objectives for individual homes, utilities and aggregations of them) and intelligent distributed algorithms to evaluate the complex and large-scale power systems. This thesis presents a multi-agent system (MAS) to evaluate optimal residential DR implementation in a distribution network, in which the main stakeholders are modeled by heterogeneous home agents (HA) and a retailer agent (RA). A heterogeneous load prediction model, a real-time electricity price model and three optimal load control models are developed to associate with the MAS. The load prediction model simulates the benchmark of individual and aggregated load profiles based on statistical information of how people use their appliances including electric vehicles (EV). Each HA has a unique load profile depending on its heterogeneous local configurations. The real-time price prediction model is defined as piecewise linear functions of power and the optimal coefficients are obtained from historical data of real-time loads and electricity prices via the norm approximation approach. The optimal load control models are developed based on dynamic pricing of RTP and TOU. An open-loop optimal load control model under RTP (OL-LCM-RTP) is formulated into a convex programming (CP) problem to minimize electricity payment and waiting time. A HA schedules the controllable loads based on its local information by solving the CP problem; therefore, it only requires a minimum of communication between the HA and the RA. This is greatly useful because the infrastructure for communication is still under development. In addition, the privacy of users is not sacrificed. Simulation results show that the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the standard deviation of the load profile, and electricity payments are reduced using the proposed mechanism. A close-loop optimal load control model under RTP (CL-LCM-RTP) is developed based on the OL-LCM-RTP by further incorporating feedbacks from RA. A HA solves the CP problem to schedule the controllable loads in a round process using the global load information. The process can be quickly converged in the second round; therefore, it requires limited efforts from the communication and the coordination. It is found that this model can significantly improve the quality of the optimization based on the simulation results. An optimal load control model under TOU (LCM-TOU) is modeled by a linear programming (LP) problem. The objective function is designed to find a trade-off among three factors: 1) the minimum electricity payment; 2) comfort levels with waiting time; and 3) to avoid peak demand rebound. We also evaluate the impacts of the participation levels of TOU programs. The simulation results show a reduced PAPR, standard deviation and the electricity payments from the HAs. The HA, with proposed optimal control mechanisms, can be embedded into a home energy management system (EMS) to make intelligent decisions on behalf of homeowners automatically responding to DR policies. The proposed agent system can be utilized to evaluate various strategies and emerging technologies that enable DR implementation.

Here in Maine, we like things loud.
":This is a really noisy location,": says Dr. Amanda Samoluk of the Warren Center in Bangor. ":We have a lot of industry noise. We have people who work in mills and who are in the logging industry…and we also have a lot of noisy hobbies.":
Hunting, biking, snowmobiling….
":There's a lot of noise exposure going on in our state.":
And the kids…with those iPods. It all leads to hearing loss…it's permanent, and happening younger, says Dr. Samoluk.
":We normally see noise induced hearing loss in I would say 40 on up, but we're definitely seeing it younger and younger every year.":
Across the country, researchers say personal stereos and an aging population could make for a hearing loss epidemic.
":I sort of basically picked up that I wasn't understanding people when they was talking,": says Dwight Grant. He was a longshoreman for years – loud years – that hurt the tiny hair cells inside the ear that do the listening. Like blades of grass under a heavy foot, those hair cells are damaged by sound louder than a normal speaking voice.
":So they're the first to get mowed down over time,": says Dr. Samoluk.
Losing your hearing can make every sentence a challenge. Just ask Arleen Grant.
":Because he missed at least five words of what I said – so that changed the whole context. And when he gives you an answer, he's answering something that has no relevance of what was asked!":
Dwight says he missed out on things. But, he's hearing Arleen a bit better now, thanks to a hearing aid from the Warren Center.
Dr. Samoluk says to prevent damage, turn the sound on your headphones down to half volume. And, if you're in a loud place, put in ear plugs or pop on earmuffs.
":If we can stop or eliminate it by wearing hearing protection, then by all means that's the way you want to go.":

One of the great assets of the Open Source community (and Linux in particular), is that it's a real community. Users and developers really are out there, on web forums, on mailing lists, on IRC channels, helping out new users. They're all happy to see more and more people switch to Linux, and they're happy to help them get a grip on their new system.
So if there's something you don't understand, a program that doesn't behave the way you would expect, or a feature that you can't seem to find, don't hesitate to go and ask for help. If there's somebody near you (family? co-workers?) who is using Linux, he or she will probably be happy to help you out. Otherwise, just go online and you'll find literally thousands of places where nice people will answer you and walk you out of your problem most of the time: geeks actually are very nice people, if you ask your question politely. Just type "linux help" (or replace "linux" with whatever distribution you chose -- see the install section) in Google and you'll undoubtedly find everything you need.

Solar energy has a bright future according to the staff at Energy Consultants of Wisconsin, a Grafton company that has been selling and installing energy-efficient lighting products since 1989.The company was founded by Jeff Gruetzmacher, but his son Kurt has become the go-to guy when a property owner is considering installation of solar panels.The younger Gruetzmacher took courses with the Midwest Renewable Energy Association outside of Stevens Point and gained practical experience by doing solar panel installations on projects with Habitat for Humanity. He is in the process of completing a degree in environmental sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.Gruetzmacher said interest is growing in solar installations as an alternative energy source, especially with the heightened desire to live greener lifestyles."As you drive around, you see a lot more rooftops with solar panels and in time you are going to see even more. Solar power is a great way to help achieve energy independence and also helps the environment," he said."The ideal time to consider solar installation is when you are building a new home, because there is no retrofitting required. The cost of the system can be included in the mortgage, so you don't have to go through the bother of additional financing."Gruetzmacher said solar technology has made significant advances in recent years."Since solar comes from the sun and there are no moving parts used to collect electricity, customers can expect installations to last as long as 30 or 40 years," he said.The only component that shows much wear and tear is the inverter, which is inspected as part of ongoing maintenance agreements.Gruetzmacher said the cost of solar energy has tumbled."When I first started in this field, you were talking about costs in the range of $7 to $8 a watt. Now it is down to $5 or even $4 a watt," he said.To determine how feasible a solar installation is at given property, Gruetzmacher said, the company prepares free site assessments.The assessments show a property owner the projected cost of an installation, the likely energy savings and the anticipated payback period.The company can also offer advice on rebates, tax credits and other incentives that are available through programs such as Focus on Energy. A competitive grant program is currently available for commercial operations and nonprofit agencies tha want to install solar arrays. The company will help complete the nine-page applications."The main consideration for a solar installation is that the location is clear of obstructions and has clear southern exposure from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., which are the prime times for solar generation," he said.An unexpected quirk of solar power — photovoltaic cells are more effective in collecting solar energy on clear winter days than they are on blazing summer days."The collection process is slowed somewhat by heat," Gruetzmacher said. Most solar panels installed in the area are tied directly to the power grid rather than generating just the power used in the building, he said."There are solar installations in more remote areas where the owners are looking to be completely off the grid, but they need to be willing to cut way back on consumption — no air conditioners, dishwashers or other appliances," Gruetzmacher said.Last year, he worked on two high-profile solar installations in Port Washington — the flat roof of the Java Dock building on Grand Avenue and the newly built home of developer Mike Speas in The Terraces at Mineral Springs, a green development on the city's south side."The Java Dock installation was easy, but Mike's house has an inclined, metal roof and it was like laying on a frying pan," Gruetzmacher said.Energy Consultants of Wisconsin has developed a growing client base from Milwaukee to Green Bay and as far west as the Madison area.The firm has specialized in a variety of energy-related services. For more than a decade it has conducted group relamping of workplaces, and offers advice on the use of LED and induction lighting to reduce energy costs.

Source of Despair
You are the one
who I can be myself
around with
You are one
who can listen
to my thoughts
that I say.
But I discovered
That you never
really understand me
at all. You are
another loved one
that I know so well
who brings me despair
the most.
Every tense feeling
you give me
when you bring me down
triggers the feelings of
raging anger
ready to explode
that makes me
hate you the most
I discovered that
we are like
best friends that
hurt each other.
Why should I talk to you.
Some one who brings me
most of my deep, painful
feelings out of me.
I discovered
that those I love
the most, are my
Source of Despair.

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to go. Everyone was waking up and we continued on our journey. About half way through the day I could see the small village of Bellen. There huts were very small. I thought there were just small in the distance but as we got closer it was still small.
Once we reached the village. We noticed that a lot of villagers were busy working. Running around and didn't even notice us enter the village. Once we reached the center of the village one of my guards started yelling to get the people's attention. After a bit of yelling people started to notice me.
"This is Princess Chessiana, Princess of Arcia. And she has come here under King Mistonio's order. She is here to make sure your loyalty still resides under her father" Bellowed the guard. The people were quite but then we heard some fighting coming from behind. We turned around and saw a village arguing with one of those beasts. He was wearing all black and it even covered his face. The only reason we could tell that he was a beast was his ugly dog like tail. "He is one of them, Kill him" One of my guards yelled and a couple went after him. The villagers and my soldiers were all looking at me.
"My father has befriended this village and has helped you for a long time." Everyone was listening to me. I usually do no make speeches but I knew I must. "He has befriended and you let the likes of that ugly beast to roam you village." I said my anger level raising. "Princess we have never seen him before. We swear. We are loyal and friends of your father." One villager shouted.
"You know what happens in my village to people who associate with the likes of them?" I asked. There was only silence. I needed to show them, discipline them. I lifted my hand and ignited it in flames. I looked around. I looked at a hut and sent out my fireball at it. Anger rising in me I set fires to a couple more homes. The villagers were frantic and scared. I liked the sounds of the screams, the smell of smoke. "This, This is what happens when you choose to live with the likes of them. Now I hope you will choose to be loyal to my father" I bellowed over there screams in a loud defiant voice. I watched the people crying in fear and got a feeling of enjoyment. The same feeling as watching that person get tortured with my father. My guards escorted me out of the village. Even though I didnt want to leave The two that went to kill the animal lost him in the crowd. So we need to stay on our guard. I would be a target for any of them. We continued on our quest leaving the city burning. As we left I felt powerful. I felt like I had done what was right. I have taught them a lesson. Let's see them turn against him again.

Steve is in the Arctic at the moment, in Baffin Island attempting a vast rock climb for six weeks. But before he went he answered a few questions on wolves, survival – and his long term Falcon Chronicles plans. Steve is also giving site members the chance to get hold of his books!
To win all three Falcon Chronicles books with signed book plates (that's Tiger Wars, Ghosts of the Forest and now Wilds of the Wolf) email firstname.lastname@example.com with the title "Wilds of the Wolf comp" telling us why you should win them by Sunday 10 August by 6pm. Two runners up will win copies of Wilds of the Wolf.
What draws you to the wolf?
I guess I'm a dog person, so the canids have a special power for me. And yet wolves are everything our own pet pooches are not; untameable, primal, doing all they can to avoid people and wandering the wildest corners of our globe. There will always be a part of my heart that is intoxicated by them.
Where did you do your research for Wilds of the Wolf?
I've spent many months in the Arctic where the book is set, and years in the wider world of the wolf. All my books draw heavily on my own experiences, and these are not just places I have gone to on holiday, they're locations I know them intimately from lengthy expeditions, most of which have been spent on the hunt for wildlife. Though obviously with a camera, not a rifle.
What are the key things we should know about wolf conservation?
That wolves have never been proved to have killed a human being – in North America at least. The way we demonise these beasts is utterly unjustified. They do undoubtedly target livestock and domestic animals, but research by fish and game organisations show the effects are massively overstated. These animals are phenomenally rare; I have spent months in the field searching for them, and can still count my encounters on both hands.
Do you have a favourite book that contains wolves?
Call of the Wild by Jack London, which was also my favourite of all books when I was young.
What makes the Arctic such an interesting place to write about for you?
I love how extreme it is. The eerie half-light during the winter when the sun never rises. The extreme heat haze in summer which causes bizarre mirages at the horizon. Its bleakness, the fact that at times you, as a human being, feel so utterly insignificant there. And then there's the wildlife; walrus, bizarre tusked narwhal and vast bowhead whales, the polar bear, and of course the Arctic wolf. All rarely seen, but when they are, it is a privilege you will never forget.
What is your best survival tip?
Every different environment has different tips. My best generic tip, would be to be always thinking of an escape strategy. Always look around you and think "what if"? That and making sure you are correctly trained and experienced.
If you could travel to any place in the world right now, where would you go – and what would you be going there to see?
Botswana, Okavango Delta, diving with Nile crocodiles!
What has been the best question you've ever been asked – as an author or TV presenter?
Do you believe parasites caused evolution? Why don't a penguin's feet freeze? If we evolved from chimps, how come there are still chimps? If you could get all the world's leaders together to solve one conservation crisis, what would it be? Why does a peacock have such a big tail when that makes it easier for predators to catch it? What is evolution? (and my responses: Yes, counter current heat exchangers, we didn't – we merely shared a common ancestor, overpopulation, handicap theory, and an overcomplicated answer that lasted for way, way, way too long!)
What will the next Falcon Chronicle adventure focus on?
Sharks, and the global crisis affecting their future. But don't worry; it'll have shedloads of action and adventure in it!

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi is calling for an investigation after a local home builder was caught on video bragging about fundraising for pro-development councillors who could wield control at City Hall.
Cal Wenzel, founder of Calgary home builder Shane Homes, said in the video, obtained by Global News from an unnamed source, that he considered the popular mayor unbeatable and would instead focus his efforts on councillors.
He is shown telling an industry gathering that he has pulled together $1.1-million to funnel into the Manning Centre, a conservative think tank that is currently offering training for "market-oriented" candidates in advance of October's civic election.
The centre, which was created by Reform Party founder Preston Manning, isn't fielding a slate of candidates or trying to unseat the mayor, but its new "municipal governance project" being piloted in Calgary is aiming to "improve local government through free markets."
"In order to bring Preston on board, 11 of us put up $100,000, so a million-one," Mr. Wenzel said at the November meeting, which was surreptitiously recorded on a cellphone. "So it's not like we haven't put up our money, and we are going to be there to put up again, and we are also supporting candidates."
Mr. Wenzel also lists current city councillors whom he perceives as anti-development and those who are on side with industry. He also suggested that the mayor's support on any issue doesn't matter. He said, "as long as you have eight votes you can control whatever happens."
"Unless we get somebody in there that is, you know, really going to be on our side," Mr. Wenzel continued, "rather than the dark side, you know, we are talking another four years after next October."
It is not unusual for special-interest groups to financially back preferred candidates.
But Mr. Nenshi described the recorded comments as "extremely disappointing" and suggested possible violations of municipal elections financing laws, which limit individual donations to $5,000, as well as tax exemption rules for charitable organizations.
"People should raise money, give money to candidates that they believe in, volunteer and hang signs and all of that stuff," he said. "But if you do it, you have to do it in a way that is transparent, that is above board, that is ethical and that is above all legal. You see a lot of allegations in this video that none of those criteria are being met."
Mr. Wenzel didn't respond to requests for an interview. Mr. Manning, who is vacationing in Australia, could not be reached for comment.
But the Manning Centre's incoming chairman, former Conservative MP Chuck Strahl, said while he couldn't provide names and dollar amounts of every donor, the organization has raised about $30-million over the past few years for various initiatives. Despite what the video seems to imply, he added, there's nothing nefarious about the governance-training program or where the funding comes from.
"We've been trying to get some traction on this, why it's important and what it's about," Mr. Strahl said. "… Maybe this [the video] will spur people to come and down and see what it's all about."
The mayor was recently embroiled in a public dispute with the local Canadian Home Builders' Association chapter, which took issue with the city's growth policies citing a "suburban growth freeze." Mr. Nenshi temporarily suspended the group from city committees, until a truce was signed last month, in which both parties agreed that the city "is not imposing a suburban development freeze."
"We have members who are more politically active than others," said Charron Ungar, the organization's local president. Some of the group's members were at the event. "That's what we see on that tape. As an association, we are apolitical."
Some members of council expressed concern about an apparent attempt to control municipal decision-making, some denied anyone is in the back pockets of developers and others pointed out there are no obvious signs of voting blocs. But there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction brewing.
Calgary political organizer Donn Lovett said a group of individuals have come to him with $1-million to throw behind any candidate willing to challenge Mr. Nenshi, the only declared mayoral candidate so far.
"It's an expression of frustration," Mr. Lovett said. "I told them no. This is not a mayor that's defeatable."Report Typo/Error

Ruth Harrison was given a £140,000 "golden goodbye" to leave a hospital trust where 33 died amid shocking hygiene standards.
Now she is being paid tens of thousands as a consultant to Epsom and St Helier Hospital in Surrey and local primary care trusts. Health bosses have asked Ms Harrison to lead a review into children and maternity services that could see wards closed.
Campaigners demanded to know how a manager who left Stoke Mandeville Hospital with "soaring infection rates" and a "golden goodbye" can still be paid by the NHS.
She left Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS trust in 2006 one day before a damning report cited serious faults in its leadership.
The health watchdog highlighted appalling hygiene standards including dirty wards, faeces on bedrails and soiled commodes. It accused managers of "significant failings" after they compromised patient safety by failing to listen to their own experts.
Between October 2003 and June 2005, when Ms Harrison was leading the trust, at least 33 patients died from the stomach bug Clostridium difficile and 334 became seriously ill.
Healthcare Commission inspectors later wrote: "[We] consider there were significant failings on the part of the leadership at the trust and have recommended that the leadership change."
Yet less than two years later Ms Harrison's management consultancy Durrow has been asked to lead a shake-up of hospital services in Surrey.
Chris Grayling, Epsom's MP and a hospital campaigner, said: "At the very least this is a highly insensitive appointment." A spokesman for the Patients' Association said: "Ms Harrison left Stoke Mandeville at a time when infection rates were so high that it led to avoidable deaths. She then got a huge payoff and a year to enjoy it.
"Now we hear she is back again advising the NHS on best practice. It absolutelybeggars belief." The move by Surrey health bosses comes amid a mounting row over pay-offs in the health service.
Health bosses defended Ms Harrison's appointment. Simon Morgan, a spokesman for the Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust, said: "Following a competitive tendering process, specialist health management consultancy Durrow has been hired to manage a review of women's and children's services at Epsom and St Helier Hospitals."
Former chief executive Rose Gibb is fighting to keep a six-figure severance payment despite overseeing Britain's worst superbug scandal at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust.
At least 90 patients died as a direct result of C.diff and hundreds more were infected between 2004 and 2006 as nurses urged some patients to "go in their beds". Ms Gibb left the trust last year but has since set up a consultancy with her partner, Mark Rees selling advice to the NHS.

The Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, was the epitome of chic as she stepped out on Tuesday sporting an elegant low ponytail.
But it's the not the first time the royal has shunned her signature Chelsea blow dry in favour of a more daring 'do — she has previously experimented with braided buns, low chignons and even pearls.
Tuesday's event marked Kate's first appearance since announcing that she was pregnant with her second child. The striking brunette paired with ponytail with a grey Jane Taylor hat that matched her chic Alexander McQueen checked coatdress.
The royal, who is just over 12 weeks pregnant, was showing off a hint of a baby bump.

The most obvious requirement for this is references with multiplicity, where we have one binding for several target (endpoints). If we introduce such an Endpoint model, I'd prefer to do a clean cut: - add that model - populate it - define new Provider SPIs that take an endpoint instead of a binding as IMO morphing Binding into an Endpoint is just going to create more confusion in an area that's already not so clear. The two sets of SPIs could co-exist for a while with BindingProviders working with bindings and ServiceProviders (I just made up that name) with service endpoints. -- Jean-Sebastien

The staff was awesome and the room was clean. Only negative thing was an earwig was found crawling up the wall
Location Room smelled of tobacco smoke, HVAC unit was very loud, and realized we had ants in the room after being there for an hour. After reporting this to the front desk had to move to another room.
Everything thing great no surprises
The woman at the front desk greeting me with a huge smile.
We liked the fact of a couch and chair in room. Made stay so much for relaxing and like home. Granddaughter liked the pool best. We will probably be back. Thank you. For it being a smoke free room it reeked on smoke. Should have seen the cig butts laying outside window.
Location. The beds were very firm.
Great hotel... Clean and comfortable .. Great free breakfast
Clean and with a suite offered multiple sleeping options for kids.
The staff was awesome, very friendly and welcoming.
Location was right off the highway. Room was a nice size. Liked that it had a 2nd sink outside the bathroom. After calling days before to confirm reservations and that both of our rooms would be next to each other since we were a family of 7, our rooms were on separate floors. Took over 35 minutes of standing at the desk for them to accommodate us.Pool was small
The welcome we received from hotel employee late Friday night the 15th of January was exceptional! We were tired from a very rainy traveling night and his welcome made us feel at home! He is definitely a tremendous asset to your hotel. Please thank him fo
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Clean and modern. The guy at the front was very nice. It was kind of impersonal.
Comfy beds
The night checkin person was extremely tired but went out of their way to provide a great service. It really surprised me and I'm glad I chose those hotel. The breakfast was great also.
Great breakfast and staff was helpful. Looked newly remodeled Had a leak of some kind. Didn't bother us.
It is right off the interstate so very convient.
Location was convenient. Breakfast was OK. The mattress was very uncomfortable. I woke up several times during the night with back pain. Probably will not stay here again. Too many other quality alternatives in Crossville.
Clean and room was large. Staff friendly Coffee was bad, not fresh.
Everything was super clean (almost brand new looking), the furniture looked new and undamaged, and the staff was friendly. It was right off the interstate and across from gas stations and restaurants. The value was great, can't beat the price. The hair dryer didn't work, the microwave wouldn't shut off (I had to unplug it to shut it off), and no coffee pot in the room.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Very nice staff was very courteous. Whirlpool did not work
There is a lot of room and is laid out nice. This is a time share. They will try to sell you a timeshare.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were very old and outdated. The first room we got was dirty.
Huge amount of space for the money. Everything you need.
I loved the parks and activities to do with kids. Free library, sand toys, movies, balls...low key vacation Not good mid week cleaning
EVERYTHING!! Was so beautiful, such kind staff; we loved every minute! Not one thing!
Needs some updating but very comfortable and clean. Excellent staff. Outside, had some cracked sidewalks.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Clean, Clean, Clean. The wireless is PAINFULLY SLOW!!!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The size of the room compared to its price. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and full kitchen was more than enough space for my family of 5. And the huge whirlpool tub in the master bedroom was very greatly appreciated.

Opening comments:
"Tough game between us and them. Give Dave (Doeren) and his staff credit for the job that they did today. We were fortunate. Our guys made a few more plays and we outlasted them. We created a lot of adversity for ourselves throughout the game. I thought our defense did an outstanding job making them kick field goals throughout the day and kept us in this game all the way through. We made a game changing play in special teams finally. We stopped a fake punt down there and went in and scored after that so that was huge for us. Probably would've liked to have finished off a couple of more red zone chances down there with the offense but overall a pretty good game."
Where do you think the defense has come the farthest over these past few weeks?
"We haven't given up the big play. The big touchdown plays, the long ones that early in the season we gave up too many of those and it hurt us. We were playing solid all the way through other than a few big plays. I think we've gotten better at stopping those explosive plays."
How close were you to putting in a third quarterback due to the injuries suffered by both Marquise Williams and Bryn Renner?
"Each one of them they were out for a bit and they said they could come back. [Renner] came back in and played and obviously [Williams] came back in and played but we had the next one ready. We're always ready for that. If we've got to go four or five we'll put somebody out there."
Does a game like this show the type of resiliency your team possesses?
"We had talked about going into this game about what was going to happen and it happened. Whether we went up or down, there were going to be a lot of ups and downs in the game. It's typical of this game. We knew it didn't matter if we went up or we went down. I wanted them to just play it the same way with the same emotion, the same enthusiasm and the same energy. You watch our guys when we were down 10 there in the beginning and weren't playing very well but nobody was down. They just kept playing."
Comments on the small margin of error moving forward throughout the rest of the season:
"Oh yeah, we've got a small margin of error. As long as we don't worry about it, don't let it get us down and not let one play affect the next play then we'll be okay. Those guys kept fighting today and they made it happen."
Comments on Lucas Crowley taking snaps at center today:
"Crowley is a true freshman and we feel like he's going to be a pretty good one for us. He's helping us."
Is this a significant win for your team being able to win back-to-back games against N.C. State?
"All we were worried about was one and that was this one. It has nothing to do with last year. I think it means something to come over here and win in their stadium. That's pretty big. They had a great crowd and were into the game the entire game but our guys kept fighting. It's just another step for our program in this state."
Is your team closer to playing the way you expect them to play in your system?
"I see some growth but we've got a long way to go before we get to where we want to be. We still have way too many penalties. I mean way too many mental mistakes. But what they did was they overcame them and just kept playing and they didn't let it bother them. We had way too many mistakes today. I can't wait to see the film."
Does you team take pride in this being their "state"?
"This team and this University and all of our fans take a lot of pride in that, a tremendous amount of pride in that. As far as I know, it's always been the Tar Heel state and always will be."
What was the explanation the officials offered you on the Jabari Price targeting penalty?
"I was angry because I thought they missed the block in the back on Tre (Boston) right in front of it. Every time they showed it on the film that's what I was upset about. The upsetting thing about the targeting and I'm going to give the officials credit. That's a tough deal for them. When in doubt throw the flag and the 15 yards count no matter what.
"I don't think it's fair to the officials. I really don't. it's a bang bang play and they're trying to protect the defenseless player and they don't know. They really don't know. It happens so quickly. You've got to look at it on film five times to find out if it really is helmet to helmet and was he targeting or not. In this case, Jabari didn't so he was able to stay in the game but you still have the 15-yard penalty. It is what it is. Hopefully we'll get that corrected this year."
Comments on freshmen production:
"You see Bug Howard had a big game for us. Brian Walker comes in and gets an interception and played a bunch. Mikey Bart still played a bunch in this game. (T.J.) Logan got his first touchdown of his college career. These freshmen are getting more and more reps and that just means the future is brighter. Every rep they get is a new experience for them. They feel more comfortable out there and now they're making plays. They're not just out there. They're making plays so that's a good thing for us."
What were your thoughts on Ryan Switzer's touchdown pass?
"How about that? A touchdown pass from Switzer. I forgot about that one. Y'all didn't know he could play quarterback. Maybe he was the one we were going with the next time."

Helical gears are spur gears that have their teeth set at an angle with respect to the axial center line of the shaft supporting the gear, instead of parallel to it. They are used in most high-speed automotive and machine applications where quiet operation and high gear loads are key factors. Helical gears have higher sideways thrust loads (axial loads) and slightly lower efficiency than straight spur gears, however, which makes their integrations more costly to build and operate. Calculating thrust loads for helical gears is therefore essential to their proper design and implementation.
Things You'll Need
- Calculator or spreadsheet
Define the helical gear application. In this case, a reduction gear set employing helical gears is used in a luxury inboard boat drive because of its smoothness and quiet operation. Engine torque at cruising speed is 360-foot-pounds. If the pitch diameter of the right-handed 22-tooth driving gear connected to the spinning engine shaft is 4 inches and the diameter of the 44-tooth driven gear connected to the propeller shaft is 8 inches and their helical angle, B, is 18 degrees, you can calculate the axial thrust created by the driven helical gear while the boat is cruising.
Consult a helical gear right-hand, left-hand gear sense diagram to obtain the direction in which the thrust will be directed and a sense for the numbers you will be calculating. In this case, (all looking from the rear of the boat), the engine is rotating counter-clockwise, the propeller shaft is clockwise, the driving gear is helical right-hand, and the driven gear is helical left hand. Therefore, the driven helical gear will impart its thrust to the front of the gear case.
Calculate the instantaneous torque applied to the propeller shaft. Since the smaller 22-tooth gear is driving the larger 44-tooth gear, torque is doubled and speed is halved on the propeller shaft. Therefore, the driving torque applied to the propeller shaft is 360-foot-pounds x 2 = 720-foot-pounds.
Calculate the instantaneous tangential gear force Kt imparted to the teeth on the driven gear. The radius of the driven gear is 8 inches/2 = 4 inches. However, the torque transmitted is 720-foot-pounds. Therefore the torque must be multiplied by 1 foot(12 inches)/4 inches = 3 x 720-foot-pounds = 2160-pounds of tangential force against the gear at the point where its pitch circumference intersects the helical gear mesh.
Calculate the axial thrust on the driven helical gear. The helical gear thrust equation is Ka (axial force) = Kt (tangential force) x tangent of angle B = 2160-pounds x 0.3249 (tangent value of 18-degrees) = 701.82-pounds, directed toward the front of the gear case. This would also be the axial thrust imparted to the smaller driving gear because their respective Kt values are the same, although the direction of the force for the smaller gear would be in the opposite direction, toward the rear of the boat and the common gear case.
Tips & Warnings
- Gear trains, spinning shafts, fans, wheels and belt pulleys of any kind are notorious finger-crushers and necktie trappers—always exercise extreme caution around any open drive mechanism or machinery to avoid serious injury or death.
- Always use protective eyewear around machinery.

Balanced, battle tested Winona State ready for NCAA Regionals
Warriors will host the double-elimination regional beginning Friday
WINONA, Minn. - Riding a 20-game winning streak and ranked first in the latest NCAA II Central Region rankings, Winona State had a lot to win...and lose in the NSIC Tournament.
The Warriors were poised to be a team competing for the tourney championship and the automatic NCAA tournament berth that comes with it.
Things originally didn't go as planned. In their opening game of the tournament, Winona State lost to U-Mary 10-8.
"I mean we were stunned in the first game. It was just something we weren't expecting," said Warriors senior Jenny Nelson.
Winona State bounced back in the biggest of ways. They won six games over the following two days, including four consecutive victories on the final day. The Warriors captured the fifth NSIC Tournament Championship in program history.
"What it says is that we can get knocked back, knocked down and answer right back," said Winona State junior Morgan Lintz. "We became angry, hungry and we came right back and attacked the ball and just worked our way back one game at a time."
"A lot of grit. A lot of resilience. They've shown that all year long," said Warriors head coach Greg Jones. "We've preached mental toughness in this program, we preach passion and pride every day. It's fun to actually see it play out in front of you."
On Wednesday, Winona State rose to number-ten in the nation in the final NFCA Division II Top-25 poll for the regular season.
Winona State features a great balance of hitting (Warriors led the NSIC in batting average, slugging percentage, on base percentage, hits per game, runs scored per game), pitching (tops in the NSIC in earned run average and fewest walks allowed per game), and defense (third in the league in fielding percentage).
"Pitching, defense, and offense. You want to be good in all three aspects. And the you've got to be lucky and you've got to be clutch. And this team has been all of the above all year long," said Jones.
"We've had a lot of good teams over the years, we've been a great program. But this is the most balanced team we've ever had."
Winona State opens up against Southern Arkansas Friday at 1:00 p.m. Also participating in the double-elimination regional hosted by the Warriors at Alumni Field will be Augustana and Missouri Western State.

Vancouver's housing market has never been hotter and that has many residents concerned
From rising prices excluding residents from purchasing homes, to vacant properties decimating neighbourhoods, many Vancouverites are calling for some kind of regulation on foreign home ownership.
In Canada, foreign homebuyers are treated much the same as Canadians, although they may face higher property or transfer taxes. The only province in Canada that regulates home ownership is Prince Edward Island, which restricts non-residents of the island province from owning more than 5 acres of land or more than 165 feet of waterfront without special permission.
So what are the options? Here are some examples of the ways in which other countries are working to protect their residents, and restrict foreigner buyers from snapping up properties in hot housing markets.
United Kingdom
The UK focuses on taxation as a way of limiting foreign investment in its real estate market.
- In April, the government introduced a capital gains tax on non-residents selling local property. The tax amounts to 18-28% of the property's value for individuals
- In 2014, a 15% stamp tax was applied to corporations purchasing properties worth more than £500,000
British municipalities can apply their own taxes as well. Camden, a borough in north London, applies an 50% surcharge on the local council tax on properties left vacant for more than two years. The measure is said to have lead to a 40% reduction in vacant homes in the area but, while the measure is available for any borough in the city, few have implemented it.
Australia recently announced it would be tightening its laws on foreign home ownership, including:
- Restricting foreign real estate purchases to existing residential properties
- Only allowing foreign buyers to purchase new homes
- Charging fees on foreign investment, which start at $5,000 on residential properties worth up to $1 million AUS
Enforcement of the laws has been an issue but Prime Minister Tony Abbott promised to beef up its implementation, including fining Australian individuals and companies who aid foreign buyers in breaking the rules.
Singapore significantly restricts foreigners from owning property, including:
- Barring foreigners from owning vacant land or any property designated residential
- Curtailing foreign purchases of condominums, apartments and other residential developments
Hong Kong
Hong Kong's restrictions mirror Singapore's.
- In 2012, the government began restricting the sale of certain residential properties to Hong Kong residents only for a period of 30 years
- Non-residents also face a 15% surcharge on real estate purchases
China has been restricting foreign ownership in its residential and commercial property market since 2006. In addition to set limits on foreign ownership, foreign buyer's in China's real estate market:
- Can own only one residential property for their own use
- Must stay in the China for a year before they are allowed to buy property
- Foreign companies who purchasecommercial real estate are required use it themselves
