3 Ingeniería y Tecnología, S.A. GHESA Ingeniería y Tecnología was initially constituted for the purpose of carrying out projects in the electrical sector, especially in power generation. The company subsequently entered into a broad process of diversification aimed at other fields with synergies in terms of technology and management. The creation of GHESA in 1963 was an initiative of electric utilities in Spain in collaboration with the American engineering company Gibbs & Hill, Inc. (NY) which took on the role of technological partner up until its share was sold to its Spanish partners in In 1971, coinciding with the launch of the second phase of the Nuclear Programme in Spain, GHESA founded Empresarios Agrupados (EA) in collaboration with other Spanish engineering firms, in order to concentrate capabilities and resources for developing the design of nuclear power plants and other types of large-scale thermo-electric power generation projects. EA s activities are managed through an Economic Interest Grouping called EA, AIE. At present GHESA, with more than 600 employees, and Empresarios Agrupados, with global resources of roughly 1000 people, make up one of Europe s most important engineering groups, with technological and management capacities for developing a wide range of complex projects whether on a national or international scale. 2 3

7 Nuclear Power Plants GHESA s activities in the nuclear power field commenced in 1964 with its collaboration on the design of the first Spanish nuclear power plant, José Cabrera (Zorita), which started commercial operation in Since 1971, the company has channelled its activities in this field through Empresarios Agrupados (EA), in collaboration with other Spanish engineering firms. Through this channel, it has become one of the leading engineering firms worldwide in the nuclear power sector. GHESA/EA has been the main or sole architect-engineer for six 1,000 MW nuclear power plant units built in Spain. It has conducted numerous consulting and engineering works in more than 20 countries, and has participated with General Electric and Westinghouse in the development of Generation 3 passive reactors. GHESA/EA is carrying out numerous and important design-related tasks in the framework of ITER, an international project on nuclear fusion for a facility currently under construction in Cadarache (France).

8 Cogeneration The legislation of many countries establishes financial incentives to promote the construction of power plants that also produce heat for various applications. The goal pursued is to improve energy efficiency, with the associated savings in primary energy consumption. This requires the participation of an industrial producer whose processes consume both electricity and heat. The producer can then place its electric power surplus on the grid at attractive regulated tariffs. Artajona Purine Treatment Power Plant (Spain) 15 MW, natural gas. GHESA has extensive experience in this area, and provides a complete range of services, from feasibility studies to the turnkey construction of facilities, including permitting and financing management, all in a variety of industrial sectors. Dueñas C.C. Cogeneration Power Plant (Spain) 40 MW, natural gas. Papertech Cogeneration Power Plant (Spain) 8.5 MW, natural gas
9 Biomass The European Union is promoting a policy of using biomass as fuel for power generation. It aims to promote energy crops, the use of agricultural and forest residues, or processes for the disposal of organic waste. The goal is to achieve savings in primary energy consumption, reduce CO 2 emissions, eliminate or transform polluting wastes, while contributing to regional planning. National laws are introducing incentives in this direction, both in the form of investment grants and through regulated rates favourable for the sale of electricity. GHESA has extensive experience in engineering and building turnkey biomass power plants, using different types of waste (forest, agricultural and vegetable residues) as biofuel, as well as biomass from energy crops. It has also developed projects involving the gasification and digestion of organic waste. La Loma Biomass Power Plant (Spain) 15 MW, olive marc. Viana do Castelo Biomass Power Plant (Portugal) 25 MW, wood chips. Briviesca Biomass Power Plant (Spain) 15 MW, straw. Miajadas Biomass Power Plant (Spain) 15 MW, straw and wood
10 16 Solar Power Spanish legislation applicable to renewable energy has encouraged the development of solar thermal plants for electricity generation. The goal is to achieve savings in primary energy consumption, reduce CO 2 emissions and develop, in the broadest sense of the R&D, an inexhaustible energy source. In several countries legislation is supporting the technological advancement of solar thermal plants through grants and other incentives. GHESA has designed solar thermal plants using distributed collectors or a central receiver (tower) system; services include basic and detail engineering, construction management and supervision, as well as testing and commissioning of the installations.

Colorectal cancer and hypertension are the two leading causes of death among African-American males over 50, and yet these men remain underserved by basic diagnostic procedures such as blood pressure checks or cancer screening. By tapping the members of the African-American community most often trusted by men -- barbers and religious leaders -- Joseph Ravenell hopes to change that.
Working with New York University's Men's Health Initiative, Ravenell studies and implements community-based strategies to diagnose and treat these preventable and potentially deadly diseases, offering blood pressure readings at barbershops and health education at churches and mosques.

Like a surprising amount of historical battlefield weapons, the English Bill or "Bill Hook" owes its origins to agricultural use. This ancient forestry tool was used by peasants to hook creeping vines and hard-to-reach branches, clear foliage and - when necessary - even lop heavy limbs from trees. It didn't take much imagination to see the fighting applications of this heavy duty tool. The Cold Steel English Bill represents the highest quality battlefield evolution of this formidable tool. With a fully sharpened battle-ready blade spike and hook, supported by an extra deep steel socket and a stout Boar Spear shaft.
Technical Information:
- Blade Steel: 1055 Carbon
- Handle Material: Ash Wood
- Width: 9"
- Head Height: 24.5"
- Handle Length: 65"
- Overall Length: 89.5"
- Head Weight: 33.1 oz.
- Total Weight: 81.1 oz.

- Cachi Foods
Food + Snacks
A new website and brand for a growing business. Cachi is quickly becoming Northern Irelands' best selling hot nut supplier and they needed a website FAST! This site was built in just a day with a pleasing result. What's more, their crispy coated nuts are simply delicious. If you see them at the cinema or in a pub near you, don't hesitate to give them a try.
- Lo-jacker
Music is dear to me, and no more dearer than that of my friend who has been making music for years that few ever heard until recently. Lo-jacker needed an insanely simple black and white logo and website that just evoked a certain element of his music. This single page (with a hidden easter egg) fitted the bill perfectly. If you're into electronica or like to hear something different, please give his tunes a listen. Your ears will thank you.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but this netbook…and not even that since I'm still paying for it XD. It's an alternative ending to the book with some stuff of the musical.
Glinda jumped off her phoenix's back with surprising grace, considering the height of the bird and the dress she was wearing. As soon as her feet touched the ground however, all traces of majestic beauty and real dignity banished. The Good Witch of the North –as everyone seemed to call her since Nessa's death- ran towards the interior of Kiamo Ko castle, muttering under her breath and kicking away her shoes on the run after stumbling a couple of times.
The Scarecrow and the Tin Man had informed her that flying monkeys had taken Dorothy and the Lion away, howling and shrieking like a flock of demons. She remembered the last time she had seeing Elphaba. It had being on Nessarose's funeral. The desperation and confusion she had seeing on the strange eyes of her friend haunted her for days and soon enough, Glinda found herself on the back of the phoenix, trying desperately to locate the so called Wicked Witch of the West.
Her friend was a green woman that practically glowed in the dark. And during the day, her dark clothing would make a stunning contrast with the yellow road that crossed Oz from East to West and that was probably the way she was going. But Glinda was unable to locate her friend. The friend she was looking for, anyway. She did found Boq.
"I think she lost it." Milla aired her unasked opinion. "Stormed out of here, cursing her heart out."
"She said something about shoes." Boq added, worried and clearly unhappy. "I think she went for the girl, Glinda. I don't know what's happened to her, but I hope she doesn't do something stupid."
Glinda hoped so as well, and more fervently as her eyes darted around the dark corridors and halls of the huge castle at Kiamo Ko. At first, the silence and emptiness of the place was more unsettling than the image she had pictured on her mind: a green unbalanced woman cornering a frightened child with the aid of winged rabid monkeys. But then, the silence was broken by the wild barking of that pest that was Tito, tuto…Toto. Then there were roars: the Lion. And then, an ear piercing howl that sent shivers up her spine and filled her heart with horror.
Glinda ran as fast as she could, wishing for the first time on her life that her clothing wasn't so ostentatious. That stupid dress kept getting on her way. It was like trying to walk on water.
She stopped on her tracks. There was an old woman sprawled at the foot of a staircase. For a moment, she just stood there, frozen and afraid. But then the screams of agony repeated and a juvenile, though manly voice shouted:
"I'm coming, Dorothy! Just hang on!"
The Lion roared again and Glinda fell on her knees, looking for a pulse on the old, flaccid skin of the woman's neck. There was none. She shuddered and felt a lump on her throat. Placing the woman in a more dignified position, the sorceress placed the pale arms across the unmoving chest. Then she continued her way towards the source of all the noise, breathing heavily for the unexpected amount of sudden exercised, but refusing to stop. The howls of agony turned into shrieks of rage. Whatever it was happening, it wasn't going to end nicely if someone didn't stop it.
The Lion turned from the door he had being slamming against and seemed startled. There was the dog, barking and jumping and someone else. A boy-a bit overweight and with a vaguely familiar face- that stared at her with confusion.
Glinda took of her wand and both the Lion and Liir jumped away immediately.
Dorothy screamed and covered her head with both arms as the door suddenly exploded. She ran, sobbing and weeping openly, and crumbled in a corner. What new horror would come once the rain of splinters settled down? What monster or insane entity would emerge from the smoke? What more pain would she inflict upon those people with her stupidity? She just wanted to go home.
The Lion jumped through first in a surprising show of bravery. He located Dorothy and ran towards her, the fat boy and the dog on his heels.
Glinda glanced briefly at the girl and then turned to the other person on the room. There was a pool of blood forming below slim mutilated legs and moans of pain escaped from between thin green lips. Elphi was screaming, sobbing and whimpering at the same time.
Glinda was too horrified and confused to do much. As she knelt next to Elphaba, staring at the disfigured legs and gagging at the smell of burnt flesh, a winded monkey entered the room and shrieked.
"Witch Why Wound?" It said, managing to sound horrified and confused. "Witch Wont Wound?!"
And then, abandoning all pretence of speech, it started shrieking and jumping hysterically around the wounded witch, flapping its wings vigorously. And then, it stopped, and jumped right in front of Glinda, its dark huge eyes wide open.
"Care! Witch Why Wound?! Nurse!"
Glinda snapped out of her shock and examined with trembling hands the extension of the damage, sobbing and whimpering herself, feeling useless and lost.
"Elphaba!" She finally pleaded, trying to turn the wounded woman on her back.
But the Witch pushed her hand away with sudden rage.
"You accursed brat!"
Glinda tried to keep her precarious balanced, and failed miserably. The huge dress getting on her way the whole time, she finally fell ungracefully on her ass. Elphaba was trying to stand, helping herself with the remaining of her broom.
The Lion jumped forward to face her, but always staying behind Toto and Liir.
"Don't you dare to put one green hand on this child!" He said, baring his teeth. "I won't let you!"
"Neither will I." Liir stated, crossing his chubby arms across his chest.
The Witch, pale and trembling, still managed to look dangerous. She laughed: a hideous ear-piercing cackle.
"How everything turns into a stab to the heart." She said, her tears opening gashing wounds on her face, as if they were broken pieces of glass dogging on her flesh. The humorless smile disappeared from her face, and she took a trembling hand to cover her eyes.
Chistery whimpered and walked towards Elphaba, as Glinda managed to get to her knees and was working to stand back up. The monkey made a chirping sound and took the green hand of the woman on his own. Elphaba snatched it away.
"Go away, Chistery. Go to Nanna, and stay with her. And you…you take the shoes. Take them, I don't want them anymore." As Glinda stood and moved towards her, Elphaba's good leg buckled and the woman fell down on her knees, letting out a low whimper of pain. Her hand never left her ruined face.
"Elphi, let me see…" Glinda said, trying to get her friend to lie down. "Elphie, you gotta stop crying. You are hurting yourself."
The others were silent. Even Toto, for once, stopped barking.

Update 16 July 2015
Update 30 June 2015 : we have more and more report of user getting problem with ABC and BOC card, especially when they want to make an Alipay account. We strongly advise for a Merchants bank's card or an ICBC
How and why register a bank card in Wechat? And after how to use the services
They are a lot of reasons for you to do it:
-Send/Receive money from/to anybody with a Wechat account; useful to split restaurant bills, give some money, paying some services.
-Paying your phone bill online, no need to look for an open supermarket in the middle of the cold and rainy night. Just pay your phone bill at home; and it's cheaper
-Ordering Taxi online, what is a real life-changer on rainy days or when you manage to get stuck at 5 pm on Nanjing Lu on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Because all the taxis are booked through that system so they will simply ignore you healing them on the street
-Play the hongbao game, if you are into that game your have been in China long enough not to need to read that "How To…..";-)
Update 16 July 2015 :
-Enter groups of more than 100 users, if you don't have a bank card register on your wechat you won't be able to join groups of more than 100 people. Like the tianjinexpats cafe
How to Do it:
STEP 1 Getting the right bank card
First you need a compatible bank card (registered with your passport and not a Chinese ID), for now Wechat allow passport identification only for these bank cards.
UPDATED 30 June 2015 : we have more and more report of user getting problem with ABC and BOC card, especially when they want to make an Alipay account. We strongly advise for an ICBC bank card
- ICBC : our recommandation
- Bank of China
- China Construction Bank
- Agricultural Bank of China (ABC)
- Bank of Communications
- China Merchants Bank
- Industrial Bank (Xingye)
- Huaxia Bank
- Chine Everbright bank Bank
– Foreign MasterCard, Visa and JCB cards: But no withdrawal available and high bank fees are expected.
– All other banks are not possible, requires Chinese ID
If you don't have any of these bank cards you will need to make one in an ICBC, ABC or CMB…. I have my personal preference for ICBC, the network is big, and it is free to get the card.
If you do not trust tecent handeling your banking informations, you could always make a special card just for wechat use and just put a small amount of money on it
If you are using a Chinese ID for registering your bank card, any bank will work.

STEP 2 Register your card
In Wechat go to Me -> Wallet ->Add a Card -> Type your bank card number, your name, then your passport number.
When Wechat is asking you for a password, it is not your bank card pin code, but a password for Wechat payments use only.
Be careful there is only one good way to enter your name but you got infinite try...
If you are Mr John Doe , the bank employee could have write DOEJOHNMR or MRJOHNDOE or MR JOHN DOE or JOHNDOE DOEJOHN or JOHN DOE or even made a mistake in the spelling. So please check on your bank paper the exact way they spelled your name in that bank ;-)
Congratulations you bank card is registered and now you can enjoy your Wechat wallet. You could start to test if all is working well by doing a transfer to the account tianjinexpats on wechat ;-) ... I'm kidding.....
How To Use It
In the chat window, you can send money to your friends, by clicking "+" then Transfer
We advise to use the application instead of the Wechat function. Go to your store and type "dididache" 滴滴打车
Localisation is way more precise, and it is far more easy to use for foreigners.
We will make a 'How to DidiDaChe" article this week ( actually next time I take the taxi )
Go to Me -> Wallet -> 手机话费充值
Write the phone number you want to charge, charge it
It seems that is not working with fixed phone fees and internet fees, if somebody has been successful please let us know.
