The Australian Association of National Advertisers and the Advertising Federation of Australia jointly responded to a call by Opposition Leader Mark Latham to ban junk food advertising to children. AANA chair Ian Alwill and AFA chair Russel Howcroft said: "We've instituted an advertising to children code and expressed a willingness to work with any and all governments in what ... needs to be an all-of- community response to what is an all-of-community issue. Ad bans may gain headlines but they won't solve the obesity issue."

There was plenty of brotherly love prior to Sunday afternoon's clash between the New York Giants and Denver Broncos, but older brother Peyton got the last laugh in this year's Manning Bowl. Behind Peyton's 307 passing yards and two touchdowns, the Broncos stampeded the Giants in the second half outscoring them 31-14 en route to a 41-23 victory.
"Two weeks in a row, we come out in the second half and really changed the tempo of the game," said Peyton Manning. "We came out of the locker room and put up consecutive touchdowns."
Big Blue traded blows with the heavily favored Broncos in the first half and had a prime opportunity to take a two point lead into halftime. Instead, Eli Manning haphazardly flung a pass intended for Hakeem Nicks, but the ball high over the receiver's head with Broncos' cornerback Dominick Rogers-Cromartie settling under it for the interception. New York squandered a golden chance to seize momentum and put some serious pressure on Denver's high octane offense and Eli knows it.
"Just a bad decision by me," said Eli Manning. "I was really just trying to kind of … in a little … on a blitz and trying to throw the ball away, where we wouldn't get an intentional grounding, but we would get it close. It was unfortunate that I threw it in a spot where their guy could make a play."
Younger Manning brother Eli struggled mightily to find his groove and tossed four costly interceptions; forcing the issue down the field in double and triple coverage. New York's running game was held in check producing just 23 yards on 19 for putrid 1.2 yards per carry average. Eli Manning wasn't pleased with his penchant for the big mistake and the output of his team's ground game.
"We have to run the ball better and we have to eliminate the turnovers," noted Eli Manning. "I think we'll keep fighting and get back on track. I know everybody in our division lost today, so the way we can look at it, we're one game back in the division. We've got to get back to winning some games."
The Giants were just 1-for-11 on third down and 1-for-3 inside the red zone. Coughlin's biggest gripe came from Big Blue's knack for major miscues on the heels of a six turnover performance against the Dallas Cowboys.
"Well, I think Eli would be the first to say that he's not the way we want him to be," admitted Coughlin. "Somehow, someway, we've got to stop the interceptions. You're looking at a two-edge sword. You've put yourself in a position where you are throwing it and not running it. Now, if you're going to try to tighten it up a little bit, we're going to have to have some run game to go with it."
With their ground game non-existent for the majority of the contest, the Giants became one-dimensional and eventually unraveled in the third and fourth quarters. After Peyton Manning's Broncos came up on the winning side of the Week 2 battle, the future Hall of Famer admitted he felt a degree of empathy for his brother Eli after the loss.
"It's a strange feeling," noted Peyton Manning. "It's not like beating another team. It's not quite as enjoyable as it would be, if you were beating somebody else."

Grand plans and schemes, broken vendor promises, and the dogged determination to commit to a long term vision - are all part of the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) journey.
Immature product sets along with ambitious and unrealized plans from vendors often creates mixed results for those on the SOA journey, according to chief information officers (CIOs) who spoke to Computerworld Australia this week about the challenge of taking a holistic view of the enterprise.
Ebsworth and Ebsworth Lawyers began its SOA roadmap in early 2006 and expects the bulk of its efforts to be completed by 2009.
The company's knowledge and innovation director, Lionel Bird, said IT organizations are well on the way to abandoning siloed systems but its simply impractical to replace current investments.
"This has led to a fundamental rethink of IT architectures. Coupled with the need to drive innovation through the use of technology, we are being forced to add value without ripping out legacy systems, this is where SOA comes in," Bird said.
Its a grand vision with the promise of great results. "But anyone that has worked in IT for longer than 10 minutes learns not to believe every promise made by vendors," he added.
"We know that it isn't ideal and just too expensive to manage a portfolio of systems built with incompatible technologies and development paradigms executing on incompatible platforms.
"So the strategy must involve improving flexibility to respond to changing business requirements. IT must be more responsive and cost effective.
"SOA offers some promise in addressing these issues through the virtualization of business functions into services," Bird explained.
"But people, especially lawyers, do not always work in a predictable and process-oriented way. Business policy needs to be abstracted from applications and different business rules."
Bird said business process management systems must simplify collaboration between the developers, business analysts, forms designers, system architects and administrators by creating an integrated development environment with a bi-directional flow of information between all parties.
Because SOA enables rapid change, Bird said managing that change becomes a governance issue and that has to be addressed through appropriate methodologies.
Ask Shepparton Council CIO, Rod Apostol, about his SOA journey and he says it has produced "mixed results".
One of the biggest challenges Apostol faced at the Victorian-based local government authority was selling the SOA vision to business.
"It isn't easy selling the need for integration as its not a sexy topic; the truth is it is a hidden infrastructure cost," he said.
"It was our job to demonstrate to business how costly it is to maintain siloed systems; but the upfront costs of integration is also costly."
Another challenge is vendor management.
"Vendors still don't have open systems although many will claim that they do and this only adds to the SOA challenge," Apostol said.
"But we are far enough down the track now to be enjoying many of the benefits of SOA such as reusing code and have introduced services."
To date, Apostol has integrated eight of the organization's 10 core applications and says he is "almost there".
The biggest benefit to the council has been the change in processes, especially when it comes to the way staff work.
Apostol said SOA can take three or four steps out of a process but the SOA vision still makes users nervous.
"Users are often resistant to changing the way they work and will take a very cautious approach," he said.
Vendor support is also critical, according to Apostol.
"We change one application and another breaks which is why vendor support is so critical," he said.
While IT is quick to see the splendor of an SOA vision, end users and the business will need convincing so Apostol also recommends patience.
"Make sure there is plenty of consultation with end-users and the providers," he said.
This story, "Beware vendor SOA promises" was originally published by Computerworld Australia.

Scotland adieu?
I have come in for a bit of flak today (and a few -- but rather fewer -- pats on the back) for signing THAT LETTER about the Scottish referendum.
Let me say that I am usually not a great signer of round robins or on-line petitions (I admit that have seen them work but I still have a slightly puritanical view that it is a rather "no effort" way of getting your point across). So why did I make an exception?
The truth is that I have been feeling very ambivalent about the referendum discussion. On the one hand, I have winced every time Cameron et al have put their oar in to the debate, to urge the Scots to vote NO. It has always sounded condescending and -- to be honest -- would have sent me instantly voting in the opposite direction if I had had a vote to cast. The bottom line is that this decision is for the Scots: and that's that; non-negotiable.
On the other hand, there are obvious ways in which England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be affected by a Scottish vote for independence -- in my view for the worse. And I do feel some obligation to say (take it or leave it) that I would miss Scotland, and think that the society of what had been the UK would be impoverished by the split. (I'm thinking, among other things, about political, cultural traditions and pressures; about the distinctive contribution of a particular form of Scottish intellectual socialism and political radicalism, and so on.)
My reaction is partly a selfish one, I admit. I think that "the rump" would be worse off without Scotland, and the political decisions we take would be liable to be less enlightened. But I also think, less selfishly, that the force of our joint combination on the European and world stage is likely to be more effective if we are together; that we are a good team.
I know full well that it is not for me to decide. And it's precisely because this letter said exactly that ("the decision is yours alone") -- and because it said clearly that the signatories valued the union (without going on to tell Scotland what was good for it, or how the Euro wouldnt work, or how Salmond's promises were unsustainable) -- that I felt I wanted to sign.
In a funny way, it seems to me a bit like a strange, blown-up version of a non-acrimonious divorce (I'm sure I'll get into trouble for this analogy, but I will use it anyway, as it does capture a bit of my motivations. The fact that it is a domestic comparison is not intended to trivialise -- precisely the reverse.).
It feels rather as if my long term husband was going ahead with a separation. We haven't been getting on all that well, and my own behaviour hasn't been perfect. Things aren't all that bad, but he thinks he'd be better on his own -- and anyway, he's only going round the corner, so we can still have the odd meal together, Christmas with the kids etc. No total split. We've been talking a lot about the practicalities, paying off the mortgage, splitting the bank accounts. All very civilised. One thing I have not said is that I am going to miss him like hell and dont want him to go, Maybe, I eventually reflect, he doesnt even know that I'd love him to stay. I fully accept that leaving has to be entirely his decision, but shouldn't I just have said out loud that I'm really sad about it (and not just about the money).
I signed that letter because I wanted to say just that: it is none of my business to interfere but, speaking from the heart, I really hope we stay together. Nothing more sinister (or profound) than that.


text: Now that my old WRX is probably going to be totalled. I am planning on probably buying an 04 wrx new or used very slightly. I was just wondering if there are any options that are worth getting from the start like STi short throw, bbs wheels etc? Is there anything that I should avoid, that could hinder performance? I heard that a moonroof is bad to get because it hurts handling. Any upgrades worth it?

How Can I Tell my Teacher's About Why I Am Absent for Two Days?
- chocolatemonkey
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I'm going to have the miraDry procedure and I will be missing two days (if not more) from school. I know my armpits will be sore and in all of my classes, we write a lot of notes (over 200-300 words in 40 minutes). How do I tell my teachers that I have hyperhidrosis and was absent because I had the miraDry procedure? If I say I had surgery, they'll ask why did you need surgery (I know miraDry isn't surgery). So how can I tell my teachers I have hyperhidrosis?

What do you plan to do with this car? Do you autocross it? Take it to high speed driving events? Or is this just a daily driver? How important is brake dust?
What did you not like about the stock brakes and Metal Master pads? Did you ever fade them? What does "stoppping power" mean to you? What kind of tires (make & model) do you have?
Anybody have any "real" test data with stopping distances? If not do the frozen rotors really last 2 to 3 times as long?
The claims made by companies that cryo-temper rotors are completely false. They do not last 3 times longer, nor do they operate at lower temperatures. What you will never see from this industry is a double-blind test that uses the scientific method to demonstrate the benefits of frozen rotors. Instead, you'll hear wild claims from race drivers who are getting their rotors free and will say anything to keep the free stuff coming. If you have some money to blow, you could always purchase a complete set of rotors, have one front and one rear rotor cryo-tempered and have someone install them, but not tell you which was which. Have them seal this information in an envelope. If you go to the track or autocross, you could use a pyrometer to see if one side or the other was consistantly cooler than the other. And after a few thousand miles, you could use a micrometer to see if one side was wearing two or three times faster than the other. Finally, you could open the envelope to see if the results corresponded to the vendors' claims. I'm willing to bet they won't.

Enjoying an equal life on the ocean waves
Adapted equipment aboard the Tenacious allows people to take a full part in learning how to sail a traditional wooden ship, no matter their physical abilities
As soon as you step aboard the Tenacious, berthed at the Grand Harbour Marina for winter, all physical differences fade away.
Wide corridors, five lifts, ramps, a talking compass and low-lying desks make it easy for anyone, no matter their physical abilities, to keep watch, scrub the deck, steer the ship and haul the sails.
"No individual can do anything alone but everyone can do something if we work as a team. Aboard this ship, everyone is equal: the boat is equipped to ensure that disabled people, even if on wheelchairs, are deaf or blind, can make their way around safely.
"In this way, no difference is made between people of different abilities," says Captain John Etheridge as he steps on a raised timber baton that makes blind people aware they are walking in the middle of the deck.
Capt. Etheridge, 59, was aboard the ship when it sailed out on its maiden voyage in 2000, four years after it started being built.
Tenacious is the largest wooden ship of its type and disabled people took part in its design and construction.
The 65-metre sailing boat is owned by the Jubilee Sailing Trust, a UK charity that promotes integration of people of all physical abilities through sailing adventures.
Tenacious and its sister ship, Lord Nelson, are the only two square-rigged tall ships in the world specifically designed for disabled people to sail side by side non-disabled people.
Capt. Etheridge explained that the boat, which is based at the Grand Harbour Marina and travels to Sicily and back, has a permanent crew of eight and the other 40 voyage crew spend an average of 10 days aboard. Half of these have a disability.
Trips can even take up to 60 days on Lord Nelson, as it travels from New Zealand to Argentina.
The captain walks along the wide gangway on the upper deck, which has low pin rails to tie the sail cables and a low navigating desk.
On the side, at level with benches overlooking the sea, small embossed arrows help blind people know which way the ship is directed.
The navigating compass comes in several formats, including large digital figures and audio for people with visual difficulties.
The height of the compass can also be adjusted according to the height of the person, especially if they are sitting in a wheelchair. The ship takes up to eight wheelchair users.
"It's simple things which we usually take for granted... the best things are usually the simple things," Capt. Etheridge insists, pointing at a tiny ramp outside the doorway to the lower cabins.

So as it turns out, camp started off to a little bit of a rocky start. This year is our first year holding camp on our very own land (in the past, we have rented a camp). So we built camp and REALLY came down to the wire with everything. As in, we still didn't have our certificate of occupancy at 10:00am this morning, when van-fulls of kids started pulling up. So we tried to keep the kids distracted with HORSES and PUPPIES and LAKES and BALLS and HOSES and LUNCH. Small children, however, can usually be distracted for only so long before the burning questions have to be asked: 'but where will we put our stuff?' and 'where are we going to sleep?' To which I responded with my usual grace and charm: "ummm . . . but look at the miniature horses!"
Luckily (or rather, PRAISE THE LORD!) we got our certificate of occupancy after lunch, and the kids are moving their stuff into the fort as we speak!
I'll be back later this week with more updates - but wanted to share the good news!
ps - I waited to post this because I wanted to add some pictures. But unfortunately I cannot currently find my camera cord. Clearly, I am very organized. Pictures will hopefully come soon!

Wheel fitup on Overland?
Starting to do some mods and was going to start with the wheels first... Would the SRT8 wheels work on my 2008 Overland straight out of the box? I know I need to be close to the rolling circumference to avoid the speedo being off too much or the tires rubbing.
I'm thinking of going with black on black (my Jeep is black w/saddle interior), but am trying to decide between getting either the 20" or 22"
Any info would be great
Also would I want to lower the Jeep at all after getting the larger size?
Thx again,
Re: Wheel fitup on Overland?
The 20 inch SRT wheels are the same bolt pattern as your 08 WK (5x5). The stock SRT wheel came with P255/45WR20 in the front and P285/40WR20 in the rear. If you stayed within those guidelines you should be fine.
However I will still defer to those who have actually made the conversion to make 100% sure.
Edit: I will add that I think you should lower it if you want to go with this set up. IMO it just looks much, much better.
Re: Wheel fitup on Overland?
Go for it. yes, be sure to drop it a bit.
Re: Wheel fitup on Overland?
if you go with SRT wheels and springs, etc, for looks alone, realize that the ride will be very rough and not smooth at all, if the road is not smooth. I have never been a fan of the WK SRT for that reason alone.
Re: Wheel fitup on Overland?
the ride is much better than the stock 17 or 18" wheels/tires....IMO
Re: Wheel fitup on Overland?
Im curious how old you are (you dont need to answer this ;) ) because it is actually a pretty soft ride as far a performance is concerned, I absolutely LOVE the ride of the srt8 grand cherokee. Just need my retirement plan to mature (lotto tickets) and I will have one in my own driveway!
If you dont like the bumps in the road to the point where you wouldnt own the vehicle capable of holding those crappy roads then all the benifits of the car are above your desires (I guess it could be below your desires, depends on if your a glass is half empty or full fellow).
Basically the statement should simply be "if you lower your vehicle and put tires with little sidewall on them know you will feel the bumps, as is the case with ANY vehicle"
Re: Wheel fitup on Overland?
you could run the 20 with a large tire to fill the wheel well, rather than lowering it. why sacrifice ride height?

Florida coach Billy Donovan has been concerned throughout the preseason about his team's rebounding ability, and it will be even more important against a Georgetown team that features just one player in the starting lineup shorter than 6-8.
The success hinges on Florida's ability to take good shots.
"You've got to be smart with what kind of shots we take," Donovan said. "We've been practicing a certain way to get ready for our season. Both teams have to deal with the elements, whether it's cold or windy. Even in a regular situation, if we're coming down the floor and taking quick threes, I wouldn't be happy about it.
"There will be situations in the game where guys with Georgetown or Florida will be left open. It could be a pretty good shooter. We've got to be smart in taking those kind of shots. We can't go into a game and totally alter what we're doing because we're outside."
Defense in the paint and limiting second-chance opportunities have been the focus for the Gators when they don't have the ball. With the likelihood of shots from the perimeter not falling as much as normal, the Gators will have to play strong defense. In a combined 40 minutes in the exhibition win over Nebraska-Kearney, starting big men Erik Murphy and Patric Young totaled just seven rebounds.
That has to improve on Friday for the Gators to stay in the game. With the shots from the perimeter being effected by the element, Young will have to play strong defense in the paint.
"Taking away easy baskets becomes a premium," Donovan said. "Some of the things we've been working on in practice lend themselves to become a major factor in this game, maybe even more so at a higher level. This is going to be one of those games with more loose basketballs and more defensive and offensive rebounds. There will be those situations where scouting is taken out of the game and you're going to have to do some things."
The NCAA has given Florida and Georgetown player an exception, allowing them to wear sleeves under their jerseys. The Gators will also be playing in new orange jerseys with the outline of a camouflage pattern. It will be a different look, in addition to the new shoes with a camouflage orange pattern.
With temperature dipping into the 40s on Friday night, it will add a different element to the game.
"There will be some different situations that all of us will be thrown into that may be unique because we are playing outside," Donovan said. "It may be chilly out there. In the game, both teams are dealing with similar circumstances. It's a new situation.
"I don't know many guys, at least growing up in New York when it's 40 degrees out there, that are playing in shorts and a t-shirt. This is going to be different."
There have been conversations about putting heaters behind the teams' benches. The concern of the Florida coaching staff is that players will get stretched, warm up and be ready to play. Then, the bench players will take a seat and wait before going into the game.
The coaches don't want players becoming tight while waiting on the bench and then being thrown into the game.
"Players always use the phrase 'get cold on the bench,' but I will literally get cold on the bench if I'm sitting out," Young said with a laugh.
The Florida team left Gainesville at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday to head to the USS Bataan. They were given time on the ship and a chance to go through shoot around to prepare for the shooting background. They went to a local high school in the afternoon to go through a closed practice.
The team also met up with men and women in the military. The goal going for Donovan was to thank them for their service, but also for the players on the team to learn.
"When you watch news or TV and hear different things going on with people in Afghanistan or Iraq, sometimes it's a different feeling for our guys when they see these guys are the same age (they are)," Donovan said. "Through athletics, there are a lot of people serving this country abroad that, to pass time, it's based in on athletics. These people protecting our freedom and our country lock into athletics."
The Florida players are very appreciative of the opportunity to play in the game but also the chance to meet up with members of the military.
"I'm very appreciative to get this opportunity to play in front of them," Young said. "They spend long periods of time away from their family, and hopefully they have sports they keep up with. Having this opportunity to watch us up close, it's a good opportunity for us to give back to them and for them to have some fun."
TWO PLAYERS OUT: Florida announced on Thursday that junior point guard Scottie Wilbekin has been suspended indefinitely. He will miss the Georgetown game on Friday but could miss more.Kenny Boynton will start at point guard while Mike Rosario and freshman Braxton Ogbueze will also see time at the point.
Forward Casey Prather will also be out. He missed the exhibition game with a concussion. After he was cleared from it and returned to practice on Monday, he suffered another concussion before practice was over.

Hey Guys..
New to the forum. I live in Alexandria, but usually hunt in and around Montgomery County, MD. Have hunted the Potomac and the McKee Beshers WMA area. Looking for new places around the house and would really like to try around here south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
Thoughts of anywhere where we can hunt on the weekends? I assume Dyke Bouys are out of question on Saturdays?? Also, anyone hunt in or around the Chesapeake Bay?
Looking forward to hearing from yall and learning of new places and set ups. FYI, have a good canoe, plenty decoys, and a very impatient 10 year old chocolate lab.

Of course, for some non-renewable resources, including many metals and minerals, security of supply isn't yet a concern; for others, such as fossil fuels, high-tech metals and land, availability is already a problem.
Natural systems can also be seen as a form of capital. If we maintain our natural capital it will provide hugely valuable renewable resources and ecosystem services: generating food and fibres, regulating the climate, purifying water and so on. But over-exploiting our natural capital, for example by taking too many resources or emitting excessive pollutants, will reduce its ability to provide further goods and services.
Put simply, humanity can't keep taking ever more resources from the environment and generating ever more waste. Once the flow of resources through the economy has reached its maximum sustainable limit (and many would argue that we've already passed that point for some resources), the only way to maintain economic growth in the long run is to become more resource efficient – finding ways to generate greater returns from the same amount of resources.
Resource efficiency isn't only valuable because it is essential for sustained economic growth. Reducing environmental impacts also contributes to well-being derived outside the market economy, notably the quality of life that comes from living in a healthy, attractive environment. Moreover, promoting resource efficiency can increase the competitiveness of industry, create jobs, stimulate innovation, boost sectors such as recycling and resource recovery, and help ensure secure supplies of key resources.
In view of these numerous benefits, it is hardly a surprise that resource efficiency has become a key priority for policymaking in Europe. In particular, the European Union has designated resource efficiency as one of seven flagship iniatives within the EU2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
When resource efficiency is understood in the sense outlined above, it is clear that decision-makers seeking to promote resource efficiency will need to draw on a substantial knowledge base.
To understand resource efficiency, policymakers first need indicators of the extent and nature of resource inputs and their relationship to economic outputs globally, nationally and at smaller scales of production, such as individual sectors. Consumption-focused indicators, which measure the resources used in products and services across their whole life cycle, are also valuable, particularly for understanding and designing policy to address resource use embedded in international trade.
Having identified the trends and drivers of resource use, policymakers need to determine how to enhance resource efficiency. The challenge is enormous and decision-makers in all sectors need information on the policies, tools and technologies that can be deployed within the economy (at national, regional and other scales) to extract more value from resources, while minimising waste and emissions.
Reports on resource efficiency, material resource efficiency and green economy.
The report serves as a powerful reminder just weeks ahead of the Rio +20 global summit on sustainable development that the world needs to radically rethink the way it uses natural resources.
The lead author of the report, Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the European Environment Agency (EEA), said: "Many parts of the world could face a water crisis in the future, not because they do not have enough water, but because they are not using it smartly enough. Accurate water accounts quantifying the amount of water we can safely use can help us use this resource both wisely and fairly."
The growing demands placed on water supply are not only the result of population growth, but also a result of the way in which our economies develop, according to the Resource Panel. Since 1900, humanity's water consumption has grown at twice the rate of population growth, jumping from 600 billion cubic metres in 1900 to 4,500 billion cubic metres in 2010.
People are not the only water users – environmental systems also need water to function. Maintaining these 'ecosystem services' should be seen as vitally important, as they form the basis of the European economy, the report argues.
Water accounting is a crucial tool for the purpose of water management and making economic assessments, alongside GDP growth and other economy-wide indicators such as greenhouse gas emissions. Ecosystem services should be considered within such resource accounting schemes to establish the links between resource efficiency, biodiversity and ecosystem services.
The private sector is showing increasing interest in taking water resources into account when considering future business. For public bodies to determine water balances, the report states that it is important to produce quantitative estimates of stocks and flows. Water accounts should also include other information, such as analysis of the impact of fluctuations and uncertainties associated with the global hydrological cycle, water licences, access rights and water quality.]]>
'European waters – current status and future challenges' brings together findings from nine other European Environment Agency (EEA) reports published during the course of 2012 and early 2013. The report shows a mixed picture for the status of Europe's water bodies, while the findings are worrying when it comes to ecosystems' ability to deliver essential services.
Strong ecosystems should be maintained, partly because they provide vital services which are often overlooked, the report says. For example, restoring a wetland is not only good for biodiversity but also water filtration, water retention and flood prevention. Although essential, these services are not accounted for in current financial and economic systems.
"Water is finite, and cannot continue to absorb limitless amounts of pollution without damaging the resources and ecosystems we rely on," Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, said. "Farmers, planners and companies need to cooperate more, to make sure that the combined pressures on ecosystems do not pass harmful limits."
Solutions to many of Europe's water problems have been analysed in the European Commission's Water Blueprint, published in 2012. The EEA report, launched today at the Blueprint conference in Cyprus, underpins the Blueprint's recommendations and provides a baseline for monitoring progress.
New incentives can help Europe reduce the amount of water that is wasted, according to the EEA report. Suggested measures include reconsidering pricing structures for water use or domestic metering. However, incentives introduced with other policy objectives in mind can also encourage wasteful behaviour, for example some governments subsidise water use or encourage water-intense crops in dry areas.
Farming remains one of the largest pressures on Europe's water resources, so agriculture and the food industry are major actors in significantly improving the situation. In the future, payments to farmers under the Common Agricultural Policy should consider their overall effect on water resources, the report says.
Energy production is another sector with a high impact on water in Europe. Biofuel production can be water intensive, while hydropower plants often divert water used for other sources. Extracting non-conventional oil and gas resources can also lead to water pollution. Careful planning can balance these demands against the needs of ecosystems, the report says.
Overall, river basins need to be further managed with constructive dialogue between the many stakeholders in the area. Public participation and the development of a strong knowledge base are paramount to engage into this dialogue.
The report states that the river basin is the best geographical scale for making accurate 'water accounts'– in effect asset management to balance the incoming and outgoing resources. Upcoming challenges for water resource management can only be met when water managers have the right information at their fingertips.]]>
The amount of waste we generate is closely linked to our consumption and production patterns. The sheer number of products entering the market poses yet another challenge. Demographic changes, like an increase in the number of one-person households, also affect the amount of waste we generate (e.g. packaging goods in smaller units).
The large spectrum of waste types and complex waste-treatment paths (including illegal ones) makes it difficult to get a complete overview of the waste generated and its whereabouts. There are data, albeit of varying quality, for all types of waste.
The EU Data Centre on Waste compiles waste data at European level. According to data for 2010 for 29 European countries (i.e. EU‑28 and Norway), around 60 % of the waste generated consisted of mineral waste and soil, largely from construction and demolition activities and mining. For metal, paper and cardboard, wood, chemical and medical waste and animal and vegetal wastes, each waste type ranged from 2 % to 4 % of the total.
Around 10 % of the total waste generated in Europe consists of what is known as 'municipal waste' — waste generated mainly by households, and to a lesser extent by small businesses, and by public buildings such as schools and hospitals.
In 2012, 481 kg of municipal solid waste was generated per person in the 33 member countries of the European Environment Agency (EEA). There is a slight downward trend from 2007 onwards, which can be explained partly by the economic crisis affecting Europe since 2008.
The slight dip observed in municipal waste generated in the EU might have helped reduce the environmental impacts of waste, to some extent. However, while waste quantities are important, waste management also plays a key role.
Overall in the EU, an increasing amount of waste is recycled and a decreasing amount is sent to landfills. For municipal waste, the share of recycled or composted waste in the EU-27 increased from 31 % in 2004 to 41 % in 2012.
Despite these achievements, large discrepancies still exist between countries. For example, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland each send less than 2 % of their municipal waste to landfills, while Croatia, Latvia and Malta each landfill more than 90 %. Most of the countries with low landfilling rates have high recycling and incineration rates, both above 30 % of their total municipal waste.
The shift in waste management is closely linked to EU waste legislation. The key piece of legislation in this area is the Waste Framework Directive (WFD). It outlines a waste management hierarchy: starting with prevention, followed by preparing for re-use, recycling, recovery and ending with disposal. It aims to prevent waste generation as much as possible, to use waste that is generated as a resource and to minimise the amount of waste sent to landfill.
The WFD along with other EU waste directives (on landfilling, end-of-life vehicles, e-waste, batteries, packaging waste, etc.) includes specific targets. For instance, by 2020, each EU country has to recycle half of its municipal waste; by 2016, 45 % of batteries need to be collected; by 2020, 70 % of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (by weight) has to be recycled or recovered.
EU countries can adopt different approaches in order to reach their waste targets. Some approaches seem to work better than others. For example, if designed well, landfill taxes appear to be an effective way of reducing landfilled waste. Extended producer responsibility, where the producer has to take back the product at the end of its life, also seems effective.
Poor waste management contributes to climate change and air pollution, and directly affects many ecosystems and species.
Landfills, considered the last resort in the waste hierarchy, release methane, a very powerful greenhouse gas linked to climate change. Methane is formed by microorganisms present in landfills from biodegradable waste, such as food, paper and garden waste. Depending on the way they are built, landfills might also contaminate soil and water.
After waste is collected, it is transported and treated. The transport process releases carbon dioxide — the most prevalent greenhouse gas — and air pollutants, including particulate matter, into the atmosphere.
Part of the waste might be incinerated or recycled. Energy from waste can be used to produce heat or electricity, which might then replace the energy produced using coal or other fuels. Energy recovery of waste can thus help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Recycling can help even more to lower greenhouse gas emissions and other emissions. When recycled materials replace new materials, fewer new materials need to be extracted or produced in the first place.
Some ecosystems, like the marine and coastal ones, can be severely affected by poor management of waste, or by littering. Marine litter is a growing concern, and not only for aesthetic reasons: entanglement and ingestion constitute severe threats to many marine species.
Waste impacts the environment indirectly as well. Whatever is not recycled or recovered from waste represents a loss of raw material and other inputs used in the chain, i.e. in the production, transport and consumption phases of the product. Environmental impacts in the life-cycle chain are significantly larger than those in the waste management phases alone.
Directly or indirectly, waste affects our health and well-being in many ways: methane gases contribute to climate change, air pollutants are released into the atmosphere, freshwater sources are contaminated, crops are grown in contaminated soil and fish ingest toxic chemicals, subsequently ending up on our dinner plates…
Illegal activities such as illegal dumping, burning or exports also play a part, but it is difficult to estimate the full extent of such activities, or of their impacts.
Waste also represents an economic loss and burden to our society. Labour and the other inputs (land, energy, etc.) used in its extraction, production, dissemination and consumption phases are also lost when the 'leftovers' are discarded.
Moreover, waste management costs money. Creating an infrastructure for collecting, sorting and recycling is costly, but once in place, recycling can generate revenues and create jobs.
There is also a global dimension to waste, linked to our exports and imports. What we consume and produce in Europe could generate waste elsewhere. And in some instances, it actually becomes a good traded across borders, both legally and illegally.
What if we could use waste as a resource and thereby scale down the demand for extraction of new resources? Extracting fewer materials and using existing resources would help avert some of the impacts created along the chain. In this context, unused waste also represents a potential loss.
Turning waste into a resource by 2020 is one of the key objectives of the EU's Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe. The roadmap also highlights the need to ensure high-quality recycling, eliminate landfilling, limit energy recovery to non-recyclable materials, and stop illegal shipments of waste.
And it is possible to achieve these things. In many countries, kitchen and gardening waste constitutes the biggest fraction of municipal solid waste. This type of waste, when collected separately, can be turned into an energy source or fertiliser. Anaerobic digestion is a waste treatment method that involves submitting bio-waste to a biological decomposition process similar to the one in landfills, but under controlled conditions. Anaerobic digestion produces biogas and residual material, which in turn can be used as fertiliser, like compost.
An EEA study from 2011 looked at the potential gains from better management of municipal waste. Its findings are striking. Improved management of municipal waste between 1995 and 2008 resulted in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions, mainly attributable to lower methane emissions from landfill and emissions avoided through recycling. If, by 2020, all countries fully meet the Landfill Directive's landfill diversion targets, they could cut an additional 62 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions from the life cycle — which would be a significant contribution to the EU's climate change mitigation efforts.
The potential gains are immense, and they can facilitate the EU's move towards a circular economy, where nothing is wasted. Moving up the waste hierarchy offers environmental gains, even for countries with high recycling and recovery rates.
Unfortunately, our current production and consumption systems do not offer many incentives for preventing and reducing waste. From product design and packaging to choice of materials, the entire value chain needs to be redesigned first with waste prevention in mind, and then the 'leftovers' of one process can be made into an input for another.
Moving up the waste hierarchy requires a joint effort by all the parties concerned: consumers, producers, policymakers, local authorities, waste treatment facilities, etc. Consumers willing to sort their household waste can only recycle if the infrastructure for collecting their sorted waste is in place. The opposite also holds true; municipalities can recycle an increasing share only if households sort their waste.
Ultimately, whether waste will constitute a problem or a resource all depends on how we manage it.]]>
Today Europe, like much of the industrialised world, is faced with a complex problem. Our economies depend on a continuous flow of raw materials which we no longer can take for granted. In addition, this rapid consumption of resources damages the environment and produces waste. So in an increasingly populated and resource-hungry world, efficient use of limited resources is more important than ever.
Resources under pressure include non-renewable substances, such as metals, fossil fuels, chemicals and other minerals. Although other kinds of resources may be considered 'renewable', including clean water, air, animals and plant life, there are limits to the rate at which natural systems can regenerate these materials. In this way, resource efficiency cuts across traditional boundaries between environmental and economic ideas, exposing constraints and opportunities.
The EEA recently released its State and Outlook Report (SOER) 2010, which showed how accelerating resource use could lead to environmental degradation, conflict and economic disaster.
On average, Europeans use about 16 tonnes of material resources per year. Most predictions foresee continued growth in the use of material resources both in the EU and globally. Europe's demand has long exceeded its ability to generate the resources it uses. Today, 20 - 30 % of resources used are imported, and Europe's open economy relies heavily on imported raw materials, especially metals and fossil fuels. While some progress has been made in reducing the impact of this high resource consumption, such efficiency gains are wiped out by ever-higher demand for goods and services.
Green Week has established itself as the leading conference on EU environmental policy, attracting participants from government, business, non-governmental organisations, academia and the media.
The conference will also provide input to the Roadmap for a Resource Efficient Europe, a policy proposal being prepared by the European Commission.
In stressing the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the shift to a global green economy, the UNEP report echoes some of the key findings of the EEA's flagship report The European Environment: State and Outlook 2010 (SOER 2010), published in November 2010.
SOER 2010 highlights the twin challenges of maintaining the structure and functions of ecosystems (ecosystem resilience) and finding ways to cut resource use in production and consumption activities and their environmental impacts (resource efficiency). It also underlines that a successful transition in Europe requires that rich and poor alike have equal access to the benefits of a green economy. Greening Europe's economy is essential for building a sustainable future globally and meeting the Millennium Development Goals and the aims of the Rio+20 agenda.
But what would such a transition involve in Europe? In several respects the region looks comparatively well positioned. It is the world's largest economic bloc, with considerable innovation skills. It maintains a social-welfare model that emphasises equitable distribution of benefits across society. It has arguably the strongest package of environmental policies globally and a record of successful integration with economic sectors using market instruments and other tools. Moreover, the EU has a long tradition of managing socioeconomic transitions from its inception in the 1950s through to recent enlargements of the EU to the East.
At the same time, Europe's reliance on natural resources from the rest of the world makes it vulnerable to external shocks. Demographic projections over coming decades indicate that more of the population will rely on a shrinking workforce for their incomes. Indeed, as EEA analysis demonstrates, a variety of global megatrends are currently unfolding, presenting many challenges for Europe as well as potential opportunities.
The EEA is going to be working hard on building up the knowledge base on the green economy for Europe in the next couple of years. The results of those activities will be made available on the EEA website on a regular basis in the form of technical studies and more accessible analysis and comment.

How Much Do I Love You? - Poem by Michael Vestal
How much do I love you?
There are too many reasons to count.
Do I love you more than words can say, or even more?
Well, you are the air I breathe that keeps me alive,
without you there is no me.
You are my heart, my soul and my everything
You are like a flower on a rainy day,
when I am down or just not myself,
I can turn to you and you pick me up.
That's when you brighten up my eyes
and show me what love is all about.
You are the only one for me,
you are the only one who makes my heart beat,
Everywhere and Everything I do
I think about you.
You are the only one, who makes my soul alive.
You are the only one for me.
When I see those eyes of yours,
it makes my day so bright,
just like a flower on a raining day.
How much do I love you?
Well it's hard to say,
do I love you that much?
Or do I love you this much?
I just know I love you SO much!

Re: Including Mathematica notebooks in LaTeX
Hi Daneil,
Well what I did was to select an appropriate size of the notebook
(i.e. less than 1 page) and print it as a postscript file, making sure
the fonts were included. I cleaned up some stuff in the postscript
file, like the header and got rid of the page numbers. Then I just
included this postscript file in my LaTeX document as a graphics file.
Hope this helps.

Windows Azure Mobile Services - for Organizations and the Enterprise
Last week in Redmond I had a chat with coworker Josh Twist from our joint Azure Mobile team (owning Service Bus and Mobile Services) about the relevance of Mobile Services for organizations and businesses.
As the app stores grow, there's increasing competitive pressure on organizations of all sizes to increase the direct consumer engagement through apps on mobile devices and tablets, and doing so is often quite a bit of a scalability leap from hundreds or thousands of concurrent internal clients to millions of direct consumer clients.
Mobile Services is there to help and can, also in conjunction with Service Bus and other services form Microsoft and partners, act as a new kind of gateway to enterprise data and compute assets.

Key Questions to Ask Prior to Placing a Plantation Shutter Order
One of the best ways to change the look of your home without spending a great deal of money is to invest in upgraded shutters. There are several different shutter styles that are currently popular among homeowners. One of these is the style known as the plantation shutter. Perhaps you've heard of plantation shutters, but aren't entirely sure what they are. If you fall into this category, you will benefit from reading the rest of this article.
Plantation shutters all tend to have a similar look. They are usually wooden and feature louvers that can be turned to allow for both privacy and airflow into a given space. Every model, however, does have slight differences. As a result of this, there are several questions you need to answer prior to actually investing in any plantation shutters to make sure you ultimately pick the style that is perfect for your home. If you want to see some samples, click here.
How Much Money Can I Afford to Pay For Shutters?
The very first thing you need to do, before you even visit a store, is figure out what your plantation shutter shopping budget is. This way, you won't be tempted to seriously consider any products you can't afford to buy. It is important to note that these shutters are available at a number of different price points, so even if you have a relatively tight budget you have to stick to, you ought to be able to find something you and your family like. Should you need more information about the price, you can always visit http://www.ehow.com/info_8024291_plantation-blinds.html.
Where Do People Look For Plantation Shutter Inspiration?
Sometimes, homeowners are intrigued by the idea of plantation shutters, but they aren't exactly sure how they would go about styling them. This tends to stem from the fact that these shutters go inside of a room, rather than on the outside of a house. If you want to see how others have decorated around their plantation shutters before you take the plunge yourself, there are plenty of online pinboards and printed magazines where you can find inspiration.
Should I Purchase My Shutters On the Web or In a Store?
Both online-only retailers and brick-and-mortar retailers sell plantation shutters. It's up to you to figure out which option is the best fit for you. People who have already decided which shutter style they want, down to the model number, can usually find the lowest prices on the internet. Those who still need to look at samples, however, generally find that they have more luck visiting stores and speaking to helpful sales associates. You may go here to learn more about shutters.

Drop checker fluid
Okay im just curious about how to mix 4dkh fluid
And if the ph level of the tank matters? ?
Because my water sits around 7.9 to 8 out of the tap
Sent from my ST25a using Tapatalk 2
No pH of the tank should not matter. If the dKH fluid is in that bulb, CO2 will diffuse from the tank into the dKH fluid (which would be at it's own pH) and alter the pH, thus altering color. To make it there are a few sites online that show how to. I make my own using laboratory scales at my research lab haha :) Basically you mix and dilute baking soda and distilled water a few times. The numbers escape me at the moment though.
You don't need extreme accuracy for a drop checker, so this method is adequate: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...8&postcount=14
You will use RO or distilled water in the drop checker.
The pH of the tank or tap water is not important as far as the functioning of the drop checker.
How a drop checker works:
CO2 dissolves in the tank.
The drop checker is set up under water, to take in air only from the tank water, what evaporates or out gases from the tank. It is not in contact with the room air (Except the little bit from its initial set up). So whatever CO2 is in the tank gets into the drop checker. When there is more CO2 in the tank water more CO2 finds its way into the drop checker. When the CO2 level in the tank drops some of the CO2 in the drop checker re-enters the water.
The solution in the drop checker is very carefully set up so the ONLY material that dictates the pH is the carbonates and the CO2 from the tank.
When those 2 materials are the only things that alter the pH in the drop checker, then you can use that pH change to tell reasonably closely what the CO2 level is in the tank.
Okay I was JUST reading about this and trying to make sense myself... and my biggest question right now is:
So you need an entire gallon of water for the few drops of solution in the drop checker?
You also need a fresh box of baking soda each time?
It just seems excessive for a few drops of solution to me. I would wind up throwing away an entire box of baking soda every 2 weeks or whatever the recommended time is for renewing the solution. Am I missing something, or is that just what people do to get this solution?
Yes the dilution takes up a lot of water and most of it you can't use as dKH fluid. But the good thing is, I guess you can use it to water plants maybe? Unless plants don't appreciate hard water. It is feasible to mix it straight to the amount you need but that requires pretty precise stuff. At home, I could not do it on a kitchen scale but at school now, I have access to scales that would allow me to measure out smaller amounts. Other than that, I shared the same feelings. It's a lot of water for a small amount of dKH fluid
How often is it recomended to change out the fluid in the drop checker???
I no how there set up its just mixing the fluid that I was wondering about
Sent from my ST25a using Tapatalk 2
There are very small boxes of baking soda, and it is pretty cheap.
You might be able to cut that recipe in half, but I would not trust the measurements for a smaller batch than that.
If you belong to a planted tank club why not do this once at a group meeting, and share out the results, then each time you meet a different person brings enough to share with all of you.
im not a member of any club and the fact im in brisbane australia too haha
might aswell have a decent supply of stuff while im at it

Q: How much storage will I receive?
A: The amount of storage you will be provisioned will be determined on a number of factors. First we will factor your growth rate against the existing network storage resources to determine where and how much storage we can provide. There may be limitations in the existing hardware or software which might direct a different course of action. Additionally, we may discuss different options for archiving and removing old information to ensure that the limited storage resources we have to provide are used as effectively as possible.
Q: How soon will you be able to service my request?
A: For the most part, the available storage on any given server has already been allocated. Providing additional storage, therefore, involves making more physical storage available to the server. In most cases, this is a trivial task. However, in some instances, the task is complex and may involve provisioning a new server to handle your specific type of data or could involve scheduling down time on an existing server for a the addition of physical storage. You will be notified of an expected completion date at the time you make your request.

Aesthetically pleasing, and can be used as exhibition homes too.
Made of strong materials such as timber.
Wide ranging, covering not only houses, but outbuildings and more.
Further details about these structures are given below. It should also be noted that large-scale orders can be made – when you need to buy carports wholesale, for instance.
The items that can be provided include, but aren't limited to, the following:
Standard wooden houses, which are highly durable. The way they're built means they have excellent air exchange properties. This means they preserve heat and maintain a stable humidity. It should also be known that these buildings can be heated quickly, and require much less ongoing maintenance than structures constructed out of materials like brick or concrete. The wooden house manufacturers and suppliers on this site can provide many different kinds of structure.
Three-floor premium houses that are made of Finnish Glulam. This wood has excellent strength and an outstanding visual appearance. It is also widely used in quality construction projects. This is because it can be shaped, cut down, or finished in many different ways – meaning the structure will be both robust and long lasting.
Frame panel houses that are reasonably priced, made solely out of natural materials, and which can be customized according to specific customer requirements. Moreover, these structures require no complicated internal finishes, and have an extremely short construction time – no more than six weeks. What's more, the way these frame panel houses are made puts a minimal load on the foundation system, meaning it can be easily maintained and will stand erect for many years.
Standard log homes that are constructed out of special gas-silicate logs, and chopped timber logs. In fact, the buildings supplied by the log homes manufacturers in this directory include large terraces suitable for barbecues and carparks.
Products with similar attributes cover exhibition houses, and more.
The products below can be delivered:
Small cottages, which are extremely cost-effective. They feature a pantry, boiler room, dining room, three living rooms, bedrooms, and spaces for both nurseries and offices. Furthermore, many log cabin suppliers can provide room for terraces and balconies too.
Timber cottages, which have an impressive level of durability. This is because of the advanced technology that has been used in their production. Also, each piece of timber used to make these structures has been specially selected.
The subsequent structures are all available from the range of modular building manufacturers you can find in the WorldBuild365 directory:
Outbuildings suitable for many different applications. They include models fitted with roofing shingles, doors, windows, and much more.
Mobile bath houses, which have excellent natural ventilation as a result of the micropores in the wood they're made from. Additionally, they have fantastic hygiene and environmental attributes, heat-saving properties, and long life spans.
Wooden carports that can house up to two cars. These are usually fitted with vented walls, and the roofs can be red, gray, or brown according to user preference.
Children's miniature houses made of natural, ecologically friendly materials. They're totally safe and can be used safely for all sorts of games.
Other structures on this site that offer similar advantages include timber household buildings, as well as red, green, and brown comfort arbors. In addition, country houses, logged steam baths, and one-floor bath houses are also available.
