A Majority of Companies Prohibit Social Networking on the Job, CIO Survey Reveals
Oct 6, 2009
MENLO PARK, CA -- Workers who want to share the latest news with Facebook friends and Twitter followers will need to wait until after hours or risk violating company policy, a new survey suggests. More than half (54 percent) of chief information officers (CIOs) interviewed recently said their firms do not allow employees to visit social networking sites for any reason while at work.
The survey was developed by Robert Half Technology, a leading provider of information technology (IT) professionals on a project and full-time basis, and conducted by an independent research firm. It was based on telephone interviews with more than 1,400 CIOs from companies across the United States with 100 or more employees.
CIOs were asked, "Which of the following most closely describes your company's policy on visiting social networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, while at work?" Their responses:
|Prohibited completely
|Permitted for business purposes only
|Permitted for limited personal use
|Permitted for any type of personal use
|Don't know/no answer
"Using social networking sites may divert employees' attention away from more pressing priorities, so it's understandable that some companies limit access," said Dave Willmer, executive director of Robert Half Technology. "For some professions, however, these sites can be leveraged as effective business tools, which may be why about one in five companies allows their use for work-related purposes."
Willmer cautioned that employees should always exercise good judgment, no matter how lenient their company's policy. "Professionals should let common sense prevail when using Facebook and similar sites -- even outside of business hours," he said. "Regrettable posts can be a career liability."
Robert Half Technology offers the following tips for protecting your professional reputation when using social networking sites:
- Know what's allowed. Make sure you understand and adhere to your company's social networking policy.
- Use caution. Be familiar with each site's privacy settings to ensure personal details or photos you post can be viewed only by people you choose.
- Keep it professional. Use social networking sites while at work to make connections with others in your field or follow industry news -- not to catch up with family or friends.
- Stay positive. Avoid complaining about your manager and coworkers. Once you've hit submit or send, you can't always take back your words -- and there's a chance they could be read by the very people you're criticizing.
- Polish your image. Tweet or blog about a topic related to your profession. You'll build a reputation as a subject matter expert, which could help you advance in your career.
- Monitor yourself. Even if your employer has a liberal policy about social networking, limit the time you spend checking your Facebook page or reading other people's tweets to avoid a productivity drain.
About the Survey
The national survey was developed by Robert Half Technology, a leading provider of IT professionals on a project and full-time basis, and conducted by an independent research firm. The survey is based on more than 1,400 telephone interviews with CIOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with 100 or more employees. In order for the survey to be statistically representative, the sample was stratified by geographic region, industry and number of employees. The results were then weighted to reflect the proper proportions of the number of employees within each region. The margin of error for this study is +/- 2.6 percent at the 95 percent level of confidence.

Vancouver Fringe Fest review: Slut (R)Evolution turns seriousness on its head
Yay, sex! Yay, Cameryn Moore! Moore's monologue about her sex life is funny: "We got together for a blow job and a game of Scrabble. I won, but he was really distracted." It's also inclusive: "There are so few people that can handle my kinks that I'm not ruling out partners on the basis of their plumbing." After awhile, slut (r)evolution starts to feel like transgression for transgression's sake, and Moore addresses that: "I hate the fact that my being a slut can be traced so directly to me rebelling against my dad and the [Mormon] church." Still, more insight with the rebellion would have been nice. Ultimately, Moore's savvy writing and a charismatic performance win the day. Talking about her roommates, she slyly implicates her audience: "I don't think they were judging me so much as living through me." And she's in control as she flips serious moments into hilarity. I like being flipped.

All photos by Shourouk
A couple months ago, I spied a glittering necklace with sequined cherries adorning one of my classmates in my CAD for Jewelry Designers class. The design reminded me of the classic Bakelite cherry necklaces that you see on auction, or at high-end vintage jewelry shops, remade with a glimmering twist, and I had to ask my classmate where she got her necklace. You can always depend on other jewelry designers to give you the best jewelry shopping tips, and although my colleagues and I will jealously guard our sources and production methods, we will always blab about other designers who inspire us.
My classmate happily informed me that the necklace was by French designer Shourouk, and a quick look at his website revealed pieces that tickled all of my closeted and repressed princess tendencies--I almost had to surpress a squeal when I saw the bunny necklace or the snail headband. The whimsical baubles are inspired in equal part by vintage and retro glamour, a childish sense of play, and the designer's Tunisian origins. Many of the pieces mix traditional embroidery methods and sequins with hundreds of rhinestones, to create jewels that sparkle with the intensity of diamonds, while flaunting the fact that they're the antithesis of those precious gems. Who needs those conflict-ridden diamonds anyway, when these rhinestones will do the trick?

* TSX down 39.16 points, or 0.27 percent, at 14,585.09 * Seven of 10 main index sectors decline * Horizon North plunges 33 percent after results, outlook By John Tilak TORONTO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's statement on monetary policy later in the day. The U.S. central bank is expected to announce the end of its asset-buying program and assure markets that it does not plan to raise interest rates anytime soon. Shares of energy producers, which have had a rocky ride in recent weeks, jumped with the price of oil. But those gains offset by weakness in the gold-mining and financial sectors. The Toronto stock market has been hit over the past month by worries about Fed policy, choppy oil prices and sluggish global economic growth. "We think the Fed will want to keep interest rates low for longer than we expected," said Irwin Michael, portfolio manager at ABC Funds. "The (market) psychology is slowly but surely improving." He sees opportunities in the Canadian energy and mining sectors. "We think the resource side is oversold and possibly due for a bit of a snapback." The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 39.16 points, or 0.27 percent, at 14,585.09. Seven of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red. The gold-mining sector fell 1.7 percent, with the price of bullion declining. Barrick Gold Corp shed 2.7 percent to C$14.70, and Goldcorp Inc was down 1.8 percent at C$24.64. Financials, the index's most heavily weighted sector, slipped slightly. Royal Bank of Canada gave back 0.5 percent to $79.08. Shares of energy producers climbed 1 percent, mirroring similar gains in the price of oil. Suncor Energy Inc advanced 1.2 percent to C$39.48 and had the biggest positive influence on the market. Canadian Natural Resources Ltd added 0.5 percent to C$38.94. Horizon North Logistics Inc lost a third of its value, to C$3.06, after the company reported results and gave an outlook late on Tuesday.

I was just wondering the probability of doing a lecture tour around the UK? Are these lecture tours funded mostly by TEDx? Or are they self funded?
I only ask because LFTR is too little known in the UK at the moment and I wonder if the UK media will be more receptive of science stories.

FANTASTIC! Great interview Kirk, I am very excited for you
April 20, 2012 (12:36 am)
I liked the interview, yet, the main issue stopping thorium isn't the technical details.
It is the political interests that will not give thorium a chance. The usa energy policy "or lack thereof" has, and always is about letting the market decide, or subsidizing "green" (called green because of huge subsidies) solar bullshit and wind bullshit. High energy prices do not effect the rich, or the poor who can get energy stimulus from the government. The working middle class is most effected by the high price of energy.
Thorium reactors were successfully built using 1960 technology, that was 50 years ago. Technical aspects are NOT what is holding thorium back. Political is what is holding thorium back.
Why no mention of china? Only when America is forced to use thorium to use thorium because china uses thorium will the usa ever adopt thorium. Competition is the very nature of free enterprise. It is only if china does successful thorium will America ever consider thorium adoption.

Help me kirk,
How do you figure the amount of Xe produced during operation? Is it a percentage of the U233 by mass? Read some where Xe being 12% but I did not understand how it was implied. I have an idea i am working on.
Also what is the scaling of lftr. Is a 2Mw going to being twice the size of a 1Mw or is there a level of exponential growth and if so how much?

Hey, Kirk. The interview was great.
I want to ask something offtopic, though: I'm watching "The Thorium Dream", and in it, you talk about your introduction to "Fluid-fueled Reactors". You mentioned you were working on a nuclear-powered rocket. Would you mind geeking out a bit about it? It sounds interesting, but you just rambled right past (understandably in pursuit of telling the main story, rather than this side plot): "We were working on a nuclear-powered rocket – whatever – but there was this _book_"

Arthur, your statement is almost correct. True, the risk of a meltdown is orders of magnitude lower as compared to a PWR, but it is still a theoretical possibility.
For this example, let's assume you are using a steam generator to remove heat from your liquid salts. (Not the best idea, BTW.)
In the event of a loss of primary circulation (pump failure) or a significant increase in secondary water flow, the fuel salts *could* cool so much that they freeze in place inside the steam generator. This would effectively stop all flow of the salt fuel/coolant through the reactor core. (Multiple loops would minimize this danger.) The reactor would need to scram (stopping fission) and the fuel immediately drained into the hot salt tanks below the reactor room. The always-hot underground tanks are shaped to increase the surface area of the salts, and lined with neutron-absorbing materials to prevent any fission reactions. The pre-heaters are turned off and the tanks are cooled by natural circulation – because all reactors have decay heat that must be removed. A simple air chimney would be sufficient.
Let's imagine a worst case situation where you are operating a single loop, the reactor fails to scram, and the fuel fails to drain. In this astronomically improbable situation, the fuel *could* melt through its containment – in this case the reactor vessel – a situation known as a "meltdown". The liquid salts would spill out onto the reactor room floor. Though fission would stop because the fuel is no longer physically concentrated and lacking a moderator, the fuel salts will keep producing decay heat so they are not going to solidify instantly. That's why the reactor room floor is specially designed to gravity drain into the previously mentioned natural cooling tanks below the reactor room.
Even a meltdown of an MSR makes an astoundingly boring tale – and that's how we like it. 😀

This Week: Kylie thanks Tracey for caring, as she grieves for her father. Malachy and Dolores plan their Christmas dinner and include Robert in their festivities. Dolores points out that Lara however is not welcome.
As Paul administers IVF injections to Niamh, she mulls over the irony of Yvonne going through with her pregnancy, only for Connie's sake, in contrast to the sacrifices she and Paul must make in their efforts to conceive.
When Colm Joyce reappears in Carrigstown, Ali tries to avoid him, considering he stood her up in September. Colm recognizes her, in spite of her elfin costume, (she is assisting Santa at the Community Centre) and tries to make amends by being friendly. Ali softens, in spite of herself. Later, Colm coaxes Ali to go for a drink with him. When Keith hears that Colm is back in town, he nearly chokes. Keith warns Ali against going on a date with Colm.
Lara jots down notes from Malachy on all the criteria she will need to fulfil to prove herself to social services and regain custody of Jane. Lara asks Dolores to formalize supervised visits to Jane, which she is entitled to. Lara asks Malachy to write a character reference to aid in her search for employment. Cleo fails to endorse Lara as a potential employee at the Hungry Pig. Cleo feels guilty. Dolores berates Malachy when she finds out about the reference and questions whose side he is on, considering he's living under her roof.
Yvonne and Paul share a moment mulling the bitter ironies of their prospective parenting situation, for the sake of their gung-ho partners. Niamh and Yvonne find Connie reading a pregnancy book. Yvonne mentions to Niamh that she knows she is trying IVF. Connie's rejoinder about a relative for whom IVF failed, discomfits Niamh.
Tracey admits to Carol that Dominic's death has left her cold. Carol is overjoyed at this signal that Tracey is finally over Dominic. Kylie makes an ill advised attempt to work at the Community Centre but is distraught. It dawns on Kylie that Dean's failure to support her properly in her grief is related to how much he despised Dominic.
Tracey confides the grim news about Dominic's death to Carol, who sympathises. Kylie tells Dean how much Tracey's support means to her at this time, having once loved Dominic.
Ali meets Colm and asks him why Keith is so terrified of him? Colm levels with Ali about the recent kidnapping ordeal he put Keith through, driven by rage that Keith persuaded him to join the army but deserted instead of heading off to war. Colm admits he has been in therapy recently and is dealing with his issues. Colm says he plans on earning Keith's forgiveness.
Tracey sets Kylie straight that she is still traumatized by memories of Dominic and has no intention of accompanying Kylie to the funeral.

RTÉ One, Monday & Friday 8.00pm, Tuesday & Thursday 7.30pm
This Week: Janine glances down at her engagement ring and smiles to herself contently. Soon after she begins unpacking some belongings in Archie's lounge. Archie queries whether they want news of their engagement to be made public. Handling Janine the DVD, Archie states that the evidence they obtain would be worthless unless Ian has something to loose. Archie then removes Janine's engagement ring and explains that it will not be returned until she pulls Ian into their scam.
Ian is struggling to cope with household chores in Jane's absence but Bobby reassures him that Jane will be back for Christmas. Later, Janine enquires after Ian to an already flustered Lucy. Janine questions Ian and Jane's relationship and proposes going to see him. When Janine finally leaves, Lucy glares down at a piece of paper noting Jane's current address. In the café, Ian leaves Jane an answer message stating everyone is missing her.
Later, Ian enters the café, followed by Lucy who gives him Jane's address with Janine looking on. Ian decides to head off and find Jane, when Ian arrives at Jane's address he's surprised to find a half dressed young man. When Jane returns to the house she's equally surprised to see Ian there. Ian pleads with her to come home as all the family miss her. Ian suggests adoption as an option but Jane is not convinced by Ian's commitment. Ian then hands her a picture that Bobby has drawn and leaves.
Later, back on the Square, Lucy rushes into the Beale household and announces to Ian that Bobby is missing.
Earlier, in the car lot office, Janine informs Archie that Ian has Jane's address. Janine and Archie then discuss their relationship and Janine points out they are yet to have sex. She questions their engagement and then declares she wants out of the relationship. Ryan returns to see Janine sat at the kitchen table and she tells him she has left Archie for Ryan, because they need each other. Ryan does not believe what Janine is saying and slams his bedroom door in her face.
Billy leaves Honey a voicemail asking her to return his calls so that they can discuss what's happening with the kids at Christmas. Jay arrives with a large bag full of mistletoe for Billy to sell on the stall. Mo who is also selling mistletoe on her stall approaches Billy to confront him. Mo goes behind Billy's back and informs his potential customers that Billy's mistletoe is poisonous and they should buy her more environmentally friendly plastic mistletoe. As the two bicker about who should be selling mistletoe Mo's plastic mistletoe burns on Billy's chestnut roaster!
Soon after, in Archie's house, Billy receives a call from Honey who reports that William and Janet are spending time with her parents over Christmas so he will have to see them in the New Year. When Janine and Archie enter the house, Billy hides behind the lounge door. Archie takes the engagement ring out, telling Janine he has changed his will and that she is now a beneficiary. Billy continues to listen as Archie and Janine lay kissing on the sofa. In an attempt to escape Billy slowly creeps towards the back door, as he does he overhears the pair's plan to remove Phil and Peggy from the Vic. Billy is horrified.
Earlier, Phil asks Billy to help with Christmas at the Vic by heading punters in the Vic's direction on the Square. Billy informs Phil that Peggy is back. Peggy conveys to Phil her money worries and presses him for answers. Phil tells her that he borrowed the money from Ian to pay off the loan shark. Peggy is shocked and demands that they pay it back by Friday otherwise Ian will get the Vic.
Whitney enters the café carrying a box of t-shirts and Bianca suggests selling them in the café so that they can hang-out together. Janine offers to stay with Whitney as Bianca gives her evidence in court but her offer is declined. Whitney wants to join Bianca as she heads to court but Ricky arrives to keep Whitney company which she is not too pleased about.
Max is on the sofa rubbing his head and shouts up to Abi, telling her to turn her music down. As Abi leaves for school, Ian enters Max's house and asks for a contact number for Jane but Max cannot help. Ian recommends cleaning up as Tanya will not return with the house in a state.
Later, Phil bangs loudly on Max's front door and then abruptly walks straight in to the house. Phil demands the cash in an hour at the Vic and Max agrees. Phil reminds Max he owes a lot more. After giving Phil the money he promised, Max bumps into Heather and Shirley in the Vic.

Joe S. Hatfield, whose founding of Fieldale Farms Corp. with brothers Lee and Tom Arrendale helped make Gainesville the poultry capital of the world, died Saturday. He was 84.
"He was a poultry pioneer and a strong leader," said Georgia Poultry Federation President Abit Massey. "He'll definitely be missed."
Hatfield, who held the title of Fieldale Farms Corp. president since it was founded, was the last of the company's three founders to die. He died at Northeast Georgia Medical Center surrounded by family after a brief illness.
Born in 1924 in Mount Juliet, Tenn., Hatfield began his career in poultry in 1947 with the Wilson Meat Packing Co. of Chicago after graduating from Purdue University with a degree in agriculture. In 1951, he moved to Gainesville as vice president of Georgia Broilers and in 1957, he purchased Gainesville Fryer Co. with others and was named its president.
In 1962, Ralston Purina purchased Hatfield's Gainesville Fryer Co., a year after purchasing the Arrendales' poultry operations. All three men worked for Ralston Purina, with Hatfield as a general manager of southeastern poultry operations.In 1971, Ralston Purina leadership chose to sell off its U.S. poultry operations, and Hatfield, the Arrendales and other associates purchased the Northeast Georgia operation, renaming it "Fieldale," a combination of the names Hatfield and Arrendale.
Since then, the Baldwin-based company grew to nearly 5,000 employees, with sales in 1996 estimated at $360 million. It runs Northeast Georgia's largest poultry operations at plants in Gainesville and Murrayville. Fieldale is the largest employer in Northeast Georgia.
Hatfield remained president and CEO at the time of his death, and until his recent hospitalization, went to work every day, Monday through Friday, said Tom Hensley, executive vice president of Fieldale Farms.
"He loved the business, he loved the challenge," Hensley said. "It was his vocation and his advocation at the same time."
Hatfield's passing marks the end of an era for the company. Lee Arrendale died in a 1990 plane crash and Tom Arrendale died in 2003 at the age of 83.
Hatfield was described as a man quick with a smile and a handshake, possessing a keen business mind and a willingness to help others.
"What a lot of people don't know is he's been very generous in giving to others very quietly," said Bill House, a member of the Fieldale Farms Corp. board of directors.
House called Hatfield "one of the smartest people I've ever dealt with in my professional life, and one of the most successful. He did what needed to be done in the industry and was very intent on staying on the cutting edge."
Hatfield, who came from a poultry processing background, was among the original innovators of "vertical integration," the concept of combining poultry farming, feed mills and processing components in one company, Hensley said.
"You can't have a list of poultry pioneers complete without his name," Hensley said.
House said Hatfield "was a man of few words, but when he spoke, you better listen, because he was generally right."
Sammy Smith, who was Fieldale's public affairs director before founding his own public relations firm, said Hatfield was heard beyond Northeast Georgia.
"Mr. Hatfield epitomized the champions of commerce this nation has long admired," Smith said. "Shy with a quick wit, and in a quiet voice heard in the halls of Congress and in trade negotiations across the globe, one needs not look too far to see his influence and success. His patriarchal demeanor was renown."
Hatfield was twice named to U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Trade Representative's export policy advisory commissions and was also former chairman of the National Broiler Council, now called the National Chicken Council. Hatfield also had made American trade missions to China, Iraq, Chile and other export destination around the globe.
Hatfield had a common touch with his numerous employees, Hensley said.
"Everyone looked up to him, but they were also his friends," Hensley said. "He could talk to a janitor as easily as the plant manager."
When it was suggested he spend his recent hospitalization at Emory University Hospital, The Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins Hospital, Hatfield remained loyal to the hospital for which he served as a board member for 20 years, Hensley said.
"He said, no, 'I'm going to stay right here in Gainesville, Ga.,' and that's what he did," Hensley said.
Hatfield was a major contributor to the United Way, Brenau University, Lakeview Academy and Northeast Georgia Medical Center. He also was chairman of the Hall County Hospital Authority for a number of years.
"The community has lost a great leader and a great philanthropist," Hensley said.
"He can't be replaced," House said.
Hatfield is survived by his wife, Carrie; son, Joe M. Hatfield; and daughter, Betty H. Goldberg, as well as grandchildren.
Funeral services are scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday at First Presbyterian Church of Gainesville. The family will receive friends after the service at the church.
Mason and Ward Funeral Home of Gainesville is in charge of arrangements.

NCL Jewel -- Upsell Cruising
View Single Post

Join Date: Oct 2006

I have read your post with lots of interest. As a cruiser and all cruisers that have been on any ship should realize the cruise are for-profit companies. The major cruise lines are all publicly held companies, meaning they are listed on a stock exchange such as the NYSE or Malaysia stock exchange (NCL-Star Cruise Lines). So they want to make money, as they have shareholders to report to. Your word upsell is actually "cross selling". Yes, lots of pictures, but you do not have to buy them. Yes, bottled water when disembarking, but you don't have to buy it. For dinner, you have the choice of tap water, which is ultra purified water from the ship, or you can purchase Evaian or another carboninated water. You are not forced to buy the water. As for the cover charges in the speciality restaurants, your prices stated seem to be rather inflated. On other NCL ships the cover charges are as follows, including the newest NCL ship the Pearl. Cagneys is $20.00 extra to get thru the door. I am sure that your menu had two sides to it. The left side of the menu, gives all the choices for your $20.00 per person cover charge. On the right side is another set of choices like whole lobster and filet mignon at another $10.00-$20.00 per person. So if you go the ultimate route of dining, then your cost would be $30.00-40.00 per person. It's very hard to find a 1 1/2 lb lobster and steak anywhere in the USA in a fine restaurant like Cagney's for $30.00. The wine, is standard prices. You can go to the liquor store and buy a bottle of Beringer White Zinfindal for $5.00 or less in any USA grocery store. On the ship it's $22.00. Any USA restaurant will either double or triple the price of a wine over a standard USA liquor/grocery store. Remember that you were not forced to buy the wine. The Sushi bar is $15.00 for all you can possibly eat. The Asian restaurants like Lotus Garden is $10.00 person not $20.00. In the Freestyle Daily there are daily specials usually 2 for 1 specials that you can enjoy during certain eating times. LeBistro is $20.00 person for the finest in dining pleasure and 5 star service and selection. That's a bargain.
When crusing in the future, be sure to read these message boards as there are lots of good tips to save the cruiser lots of money. As for the fares, all cruise lines are the same. Sometimes you can get a great deal months in advance, sometimes weeks in advance. On our Pearl cruise in Feb, we got a Penthouse suite #9500 for just $1800 each, and that Penthouse usually sells for much more. We saved thousands on that suite. We shopped for a great deal. There are several travel agents that post here and they can give you some great tips for traveling and saving money.
As for tips, the NCL $10.00 per day person for all your staff. Cabin Stewards, waiters, waitreses, any other staff that helps you. YOuu need to understand the tip schedule before laying extra tips in the restaurants, bars, etc.
Drink prices very from a Martini for $6.95 to as high as 12.95. I have the Martini menu in front of me from our recent Pearl cruise on May 20th, 2007. It depends on what you drink. Souvrnier drinks command higher prices for the cheap plastic glass that you never want anyway, and who wants to pack that junk in a suitcase. It only looks pretty in the glass. The beer prices are standard and are cheaper than a USA ballpark, NBA Basketball game or NFL Football game.
Plan ahead and book your own excursions. New rules in Alaska and current Alaska legislation now says that cruise ships must tell the passengers the mark up on the excursions so they may compare to local merchants off the ship who offer the same excursion.
Prior reseach when cruising and input from sites like this can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Bottom line, cruise companies are out to make money, not give away amenties at cost. Just like any other business. You as the crusier have the ultimate control on expenses, so when you get the bill at the end of cruise at your stateroom door you are not shocked. Buy your own bottled water in port. Transport a few sodas back to the ship from port, which is totally allowable. You must get used to the "cross selling" and be able to say no when you don't want to buy. Let the cruise ships take as many pictures as they wnat, and just let other people buy them. There are no requirements to buy anything on the ship. Yes they have good sales techniques and in any retail business thats what it takes to make money.
Next time you sail, check in here at this site for helpful hints and ask lots of questions. We can offer some great advice and some great opinions whether you like them or not or use the advice that is given.
On a typical cruise our end of the week stateroom bill is usually less than $200....as we have learned what to buy and what not to buy.
Crusing is a great value when you have some basic knowledge. We too learned quickly on our first few cruises about spending and cross selling. Now WE are in control not the cruise ship company.

Liverpool – Liverpool's on-loan winger Victor Moses believes that the Merseyside derby at home to Everton in the Premier League on Tuesday could be a crucial moment in his side's campaign.
Fourth-place Liverpool lead their sixth-place city rivals by a point ahead of the game and while Brendan Rodgers's side are unbeaten in five games, Roberto Martinez's Everton have gone six matches without defeat.
Both sides came through their FA Cup fourth-round ties unscathed at the weekend, Liverpool winning 2-0 at Bournemouth and Everton beating Stevenage 4-0, and Moses believes their encounter at Anfield will be "massive".
"We're looking forward to it," said the on-loan Chelsea player. "We know how important the game is for us at the moment.
"We just want to keep working hard together as a team and hopefully, if we can get three points against Everton, it will be key for us."
Moses is hoping to keep his place in Rodgers's team after starting in the victory over Championship club Bournemouth on Saturday.
It was his first appearance since the previous round of the competition on January 5 and the Nigeria international marked his return with the opening goal.
"It's up to the manager to pick his own players," Moses said.
"I just want to keep on working hard in training and hopefully play as many games as I can.
"It was really important. I know I haven't been myself for the past few weeks. But I started and got a goal.
"I just want to kick on from here and try to get a few more goals in the second half of the season. It's crucial for me and the club as well."
Daniel Sturridge scored Liverpool's other goal in the triumph at Bournemouth, with top scorer Luis Suarez playing a part in both goals.
Moses said that the Uruguay striker was at the top of his game.
"We all know how crucial Suarez is for our side – he's one of the best strikers in the Premier League, scoring goals week in, week out," Moses said.
"As soon as he saw me on the left side, he switched it over. The first touch was crucial for me, then I cut in and had a strike that went into the back of the net."
Despite the significance of the match, Martinez expects an open game.
"I don't think it will be cagey," said the Spaniard. "I don't think we have two teams who are too worried about defending.
"We are going to try and impose ourselves on each other, and try to control the football, and it will make it an open game.
"Our confidence is very high. We are excited, but we have to assess the injuries because we are losing too many players at the moment. Every club is going through the same period.
"If we can get one or two players back from the ones who weren't involved on Saturday (against Stevenage), we will be in a great position to be as strong as we can on Tuesday."
Steven Naismith scored twice as Everton beat League One strugglers Stevenage to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
They were his first Everton goals since September, but Martinez believes the Scotland forward has an important part to play this season.
"Naisy has been a very important player for us from the start of the season," Martinez said.
"I was glad he was able to play that number nine role where he has played a lot in his career, especially in Scotland, and I think he's shown we have a really good option there."
The victory over Stevenage was, however, partially overshadowed by a serious injury to Costa Rican Bryan Oviedo, who sustained a double broken leg that is likely to rule him out of the World Cup. – Sapa-AFP

West Brom provided the biggest shock of the last round of Premier League fixtures when they won 2-0 against Liverpool at Anfield. It was a timely reminder that despite losing their way of late, West Brom are still capable of giving any side problems. They had such a strong first third to the season – hovering around the top six for long periods – that the expectations of supporters grew and some were disappointed that their form tailed off. However, if, back in August before a ball was kicked, you offered them a comfortable position in the top 10, I'm sure they would have taken it. They're an established Premier League side these days and Steve Clarke is continuing where Roy Hodgson left off.
Martin O'Neill will be only too well aware that his side are a lot closer to the bottom of the table than the top end. Of course, Sunderland are not realistically viable candidates for a European spot but O'Neill and the clubs supporters would have been hoping for a top 10 place at worst, challenging for top eight. They started the season too slowly to have any real momentum or purpose coming into this stage of the campaign so it's all about securing 40 points as quickly as possible and achieving as high a finish as is possible. One of their individual goals that they'll have set themselves between now and May is to avenge defeats from earlier in the season, and that means winning on Saturday as they were defeated 4-2 at the Stadium of Light by Albion back in November.
The victory at Anfield was achieved with a little bit of luck but it was mainly down to how well West Brom defended as a side and the inspired form of Ben Forster on the night. Clarke will be aiming to follow that up with what would be their first home win since December. They have picked up just one point from their last three at the Hawthorns which is surprising considering they won seven of their first eight home games this season.
O'Neill bolstered his attacking options with the signing of Danny Graham in the January transfer window. The former Swansea man has yet to start a game for his new club but his arrival means that there is less pressure on Steven Fletcher who carried so much of the burden for the first half of the season. If the two are played together it should provide Sunderland with much more of a threat, especially at home.
There should be no shortage of entertainment at the Hawthorns tomorrow as seven of the last eight games between these two have resulted in at least three goals being scored. With six goals in the first game this season, and because both sides are able to play with a sense of freedom, it should be a similar case once again.

In 2012 a town Shcherbinka became by part of New Moscow, but at this days it is a typical satellite town of Moscow.
The center
Usually the core of town of Podmoskovye is a rail station, where suburban electric trains stopped. So we decided to begin our exploration of the town from district near the station. In the end of April there already worked a fountain. On the background you can see a plain church. Obvious it is a modern building. Usual panel houses around. It seems there is nothing special.
If look closely you can see unusual things here too. Every nozzle of fountain has own tap with hieroglyphs. It interesting, is a person who responsible for it open an every tap one after other every morning?
From other side of the fountain there is some more interesting. A child playground. We love them. Than there more playgrounds in a town than it more suitable for living of families.
A most lovely characters of Russian tales – Emelya and the Pike.
Someone can't know this animal from the first sight. May be it is chupakabra.
Let's look on building in the center.
A usual street of near Podmoskovye.
A business center was built in the yard. It doesn't beautify the place, thought.
A new part
Shcherbinka is situated very close to Moscow (should we say to Old Moscow now?) and, correspondingly, there should be a lot of beautiful new houses with perfectly developed infrastructure. Let check it on the example of new block in Industrialnaya street.
Let start inspection with our lovely topic, from playgrounds.
Children solve equations during games.
We was plesasantly surprised when we saw new trainers. All are working, tested on themselves.
And what is it? When 10 years agoe people bought flats here a developer answer with proud: "Kindergarten". Than the developer was bankrupt and building are staying unfinished.
An aryck near of the new block. It should remember native places to migrants from Central Asia.
We decided to finish exploring of the town and look on outskirts.
A railroad ring and "Cat's house"
The largest object of Shcherbinka is an experimental railroad ring of the Institute of the Railroad Transport.
If you want to pass to the ring without any difficulty, you need to drive inside first, into Novokuryanovo village. Then you need walk across the field. A lapwing entertained me when I walk to embankment. It surprise for me, that they live just in 6 km from MKAD.
Coltsfoot were flowering everywhere around.
And now a tests of tech. A railroad stations constantly changes its name: "Syuzva", "Lyubinskaya", "Rastorguevo" are among others.
You may ask: "Why they need a station on the experimental ring?". Your question is fully appropriate.
And there is an answer. The station isn't real, it stays on the roof of the building. The station is fake and it is using for a movie filming. A personal of the station call it "Cat's house". Because the style of it looks as the house of Aunt Cat from the well-known tale.
Suddenly opened a door, and a security came out from the Cat's house. Probably he bored and he didn't chase away me from here. The security explained to me that station was built in 70s. Early there often filmed movies, but not recently.
A table with one of the station's name.
Let's walk to height building. This is a corporate university of Russian Railways.
There is a steam locomotive near. This locomotive was built in 1954 and one of the last from steam locomotives of L-series. This locomotive was on of the best and most popular in USSR.
A gradient of rails is well distinguished on this photo.
After admire by technics let's go into more silent and peaceful places.
A church in Ostafyevo village.
Though we don't have a religious feels to churches we like to walk around it. Because usually it is a nice place.
Scillas are flowering. You often can see this primroses in our forests.
Let's go into Ostafyevo estate. Entrance is 20 rubles, and visiting to museum will 100 rubles. The museum closes at 5PM but you can walks inside till late. There is a big park.
The main building is under reconstruction now
A pond is important object in the estate.
Karamzin, an author of 12 volume "History of the Russian State" lived here for a long time. 8 volumes from his epic work was created in Ostafyevo. This oak was planted 150 years ago in the memory of Karamzin.
A museum and cafe work inside the main building. They work till 5PM and we have a lack of time. So we choose the cafe and decided to visit a museum other time.
After short relax period we continued our excursion.
This is a monument to "History of the Russian State".
Spring of 2013 was late. Only in April the nature started to alive.
A globe-flower.
The name of architect of the estate isn't known.
A field of Mars. It was organized in memory of Russian victory in 1812.
A Kenox grove. It was planted in 2004.
A rotunda. A pergola "Apollo's Temple" was recreated in 2012. As sign said it was took years of scientific research and more then 10 millions of rubles.
We don't know exactly how this 10 millions was spent but the rotunda started to destroy less after than one year.
A bridge. It was here from 1805. In 1950s it was destroyed and recreated in 1999.

"This is a really classy thank you note. I had people I wrote a thank you note to thanking me for the beautiful thank you."
"I ordered these thank you cards in the Chenille color (blush pink). When the cards arrived and we folded them the blush pink is hardly noticeable and looks almost white. Other than this the card is very nice. the color just seems a bit more pink on the computer than in person."
"Very pretty thank-you notes on textured paper give the card a watercolor feel. I ordered these to use as thank-you notes for shower gifts and I'm very pleased with them - would definitely reorder!"
"These will be perfect to let everyone that we love the most let them know just how thankful we are they spent our special day with us. I love that they have the design for these to match EXACTLY what our invitations look like. They'll be a wonderful reminder for a while of how beautiful everything for our wedding was! Absolutely love them!!"
"I was very impressed with the quality of the thank you cards we ordered! I absolutely love them! I have received lots of compliments."

Broadway rarely reflects the present day. Between musicals and dialogue-heavy revivals, you could traipse from play to play and forget that cell phones, teenagers, the Internet, and club music exist. This is not the case in Paul Downs Colaizzo's Really Really at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in the West Village.
Set at a present-day liberal arts college, home of "generation of me," the lights go down and the dubstep turns on. It is the night after a particularly drunken party and each short scene reveals a new rumor about what happened the night before. The protagonists are a group of six senior friends: the pretty, poor, possibly promiscuous girl Leigh; her ambitious, strait-laced roommate Grace who attends biannual conferences for the "Future Leaders of America;" their juvenile and wealthy, frat-boy friends, the shirtless Cooper and handsome Davis; the clueless Jimmy; and the serious Johnson. The truth is in constant flux; you're not sure who to believe, or if any of the characters even believe themselves.
After debuting in DC last year, this is Really Really's New York premiere. The actors involved come from myriad backgrounds; there are television actors Zosia Mamet (Girls) and Matt Lauria (Friday Night Lights), the Yale-trained, Second City alum, Kobi Libii, musical theater actor David Hull, and Lauren Culpepper, the only remaining member of the original DC cast.
We sat down with David Hull and Kobi Libii at the end of their last week of previews to talk about how far people will go to get what they really, really want and the last time they dropped their lines.
EMMA BROWN: How have the previews been going? Have you forgotten your lines yet?
KOBI LIBII: Oh, yeah. I forgot them last night.
DAVID HULL: There were changes made in the rehearsal room before we even made it to the theater, but after we go into the theater is when they really started to refine [the play]. They're experiencing it with the audience, so they can tell what's carrying the audience in the right direction, what's distracting them, what's funny, what's not. We got our most significant changes this week—in our last week of previews. So last night was a little... [laughs]
LIBII: It was my fault! It was entirely my fault.
HULL: It was not your fault.
LIBII: It was one of those things where—
HULL: Ohh. That one was your fault. [laughs]
LIBII: Some little line got removed, and something about the way that changed the rhythm of the scene, the line that I was meant to go to next completely left my head. I said some version of the line that was changed three weeks ago—a line that I hadn't said since January.
HULL: Never in front of an audience, for sure.
LIBII: David will handle it like a champion. It turns out he's a great improviser. I'm an improviser, that's a big part of what I do when I'm not doing scripted theater, and one of the first things I told him in the dressing room when we moved over here was, "I love improvising! I love it when I don't know the rules and when we go off-script."
HULL: He actually, I believe, said: "I would be much less nervous going downstairs right now if I didn't have a script."
LIBII: Something to that effect. And pretty much every time we've gone up on lines, I've been the one blubbering and David Hull over here has been the one jumping in with "I've got a line, don't worry. Don't you fear." [laughs]
HULL: They never are very effective or make much sense, but I say something. [laughs]
BROWN: But your character doesn't really need to make sense.
HULL: Not necessarily. That's sort of sad. [laughs]
BROWN: Did you audition for your particular roles, Cooper and Johnson?
HULL: I was originally called in for Davis, but I had known Paul [Downs Colaizzo], the playwright, before this. He's friends with my roommate. I had asked my roommate to read through the sides with me, the audition sides, and he was like, "I don't think this is the part Paul wanted you to get called in for." "Well, that's the part I got called in for, so..." And so he texted Paul, and Paul called me not 30 seconds later and said "Do not come in for that part." I actually made a bit of it, because [Davis] is supposed to be the statuesque, all-American hot boy—"forgive me for assuming that would be something I would be considered for... I don't know how I was led to believe that."
BROWN: How did you meet Paul, originally?
HULL: We just have mutual friends. I really got to know him through this process. I had auditioned several times.
BROWN: Was it weird auditioning for someone whom you're kind of friends with, but not very good friends with?
HULL: No! He handled it very well. We all have friends who are behind the table in certain situations. I've had much more awkward audition situations with friends of mine. He was exceptionally friendly.
BROWN: Did he make you take off your shirt in the audition? You often don't wear one in the play.
HULL: [laughs] No, that never entered the equation. Imagine my surprise when I don't get to wear any clothes, all night! A couple of weeks after I was offered the part, David [Cromer], the director, got a hold of me, and was like, "Just so you know, clothing is going to be very optional. So if you'd like to get in better shape, I wouldn't be mad at you." [laughs] All right. Hint taken. You won't even recognize me.
BROWN: How far do you think people will go to get what they want?
LIBII: I think it depends on how much they feel like they need it. Where we start judging people is when we feel that people are doing things, they're taking actions to get what they want, that aren't proportionate to how much they need that. Someone is selling a friend down the river for a piddling amount of money—we have judgment on that. But if people feel like their lives are in danger, their sense of self is being threatened, their worldview is under attack, there are few lengths that really seem too far. We start judging people when we feel there wasn't as much under threat as they perceived to be.
HULL: I guess on paper it's a lot easier to diagnose what is an appropriate response and what isn't, but when you're in those situations, when you're the person that's being most affected, your own judgment might be a little murky. You're doing things that you perceive as not optional.
BROWN: Do you think that Cooper and Johnson are good friends to the people around them?
LIBII: I feel like Johnson is a good friend. I think he's got a lot of resentment towards people who he considers his friends, and that's what complicates things later in the play, but I do think he's a good friend.
HULL: I think everybody is ultimately looking out for themselves. They can be as friendly as they need to be or want to be, but, at the end of the day, if their own sense of self is threatened they do what they need to get themselves back. I don't know if that's necessarily selfishness, that might just be how people function—they're friends until they can't be anymore to the people around them.
BROWN: One character, Grace, talks a lot about the characters in the play as part of this selfish "generation me," which sounds very damning, but she also talks about the benefits of selfishness, and how it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Do you think there's any truth to what she says?
HULL: Absolutely. I think a theme of at least one of those speeches is that this is a generation of people who didn't get what they were told they would get, and what we've inherited, we've had to find ways to use for our own mutual benefit. It's not necessarily a downfall that people are so desperate to achieve something themselves, and it's not necessarily a problem with society, it's actually a testament to how adaptive our generation has been.
LIBII: I think it's less characterizing us as broad-brush ambitious—[as] David said, a lot of what for other generations might have been seen as ambitions, were seen in our generation as promises, and that's very dangerous. When we look at an economy like this, when we look at a world where things don't work out, when we come of age and we realize some of the jagged edges that come with moving through the world, it can feel like you are the problem if you don't get what you want. That's a lot of what you see in this play, people feeling like they weren't given what they were promised and thrashing around in response to that.
HULL: Ever since we were children, we were told: "You dream big enough and you can accomplish any goal, you work hard enough and anything can be within your sights, within your grasp." Then you reach a certain age and you realize that's not necessarily true and that you have to make do with what you have. And I think that that ability to adapt is kind of characteristic of the generation that wound up in a situation that wasn't at all where they thought they'd be.
BROWN: But would you tell your children anything different?
LIBII: It's a fine line. I think this is one of the challenges the play brings up in terms of parenting, there are no parents in the play, but there is a quiet criticism of the way we were raised—the way these particular individuals were raised. I think it's a challenging question to determine what is the right amount of empowerment to give your children before it becomes arrogance, before it becomes ruthless.
BROWN: What was your biggest concern when you were in college?
HULL: Oh, man. College is the worst. [laughs] Mine was money, I think I can safely say. Which makes me having nothing in common with my character who just has no financial concerns. But I remember very vividly not having rent money, and racking up enormous amounts of debt. College is so expensive, and it's crazy. Branching off of what we were just talking about, we were raised thinking that if you invest in college, if you work really hard and you go to a great school, you will have a great job. And that world doesn't exist anymore.
BROWN: But when you decide to become an actor, do you still believe that you'll definitely have a job when you graduate?
HULL: Oh, no. No, no, no. Acting's a different situation.
LIBII: It is, but I think there's a bit of delusion involved. There are just so many fewer jobs than there are actors, it's a catastrophic problem—
HULL: But at least in school, they don't pretend that that's not true.
LIBII: That's true, but I also think there's a little part of every actor, no matter where they are in their career, that, from the bottom of their heart, really believes that they are going to get that job. Even though there may be 10 people who are exactly like them and of equivalent talents. You have to, to remain functional in that world. You have to live in that delusional world. It's how we build things that are only lived in people's imaginations, by having these crazy, audacious dreams.
HULL: We're all nuts.
BROWN: What were your first professional acting gigs?
LIBII: I carried spears in a bunch of Shakespeare productions at Yale Rep. The first show that I was paid to do was King Lear, and basically whenever somebody died, I ran on stage and told everyone: "Oh, guys, somebody else died."
BROWN: In that way?
LIBII: Yes, no verse. Just made up my own words.
HULL: [laughs]
LIBII: They loved me. They loved me. There's a lot of death in that play, so I got to work a lot.
HULL: Yale. So fancy. So fancy over here. [laughs] My first job was when I was 16. I worked at a theme park outside of Cincinnati, Ohio and I sang pop and country revues and I was very good.
LIBII: [laughs]
HULL: It was embarrassing.
BROWN: Did anyone ever consider having you sing in this play?
HULL: No. Thank god.
BROWN: What's your worst audition experience that you're willing to share?
HULL: I had a good one, going in for Bernie Telsey, who's the artistic director of this theater. I was singing—it had a very high last note and it was sort of an optional thing, you didn't need to go all the way up, but I had it in the bag, I felt very confident. Sometimes in auditions, you're like, Ugh, I'm not there today. I'm not going to do it. Then you get in there and you start singing and it feels great—I've got this. And I went for it, hard. And I fell. Hard. It was not good.
LIBII: [chuckles]
HULL: And Bernie, as soon as I stopped, goes: "Well, you tried." [laughs] When they say, "It's never as bad as you think it was," that's not true. It's always just as bad as you thought it was.
LIBII: I've gone on exactly one dance audition.
HULL: Oh my god, what I wouldn't pay...
LIBII: And it was a theater I'd worked with doing plays.
HULL: Yale Rep.
LIBII: They knew I was an actor. They were like, "Well, shit, the next play, it's got a little dancing in it, but come on in. We like you. We think you're talented." So they jump me straight into the callback, I was going to come in one time, the director had seen me do stuff—"If he can dance, it's his." I have never left a room with more shame than I left that dance callback.
HULL: What kind of dancing are we talking about?
LIBII: It was African dancing. They were running it like a rehearsal—is that what they do on dance calls?
HULL: They just teach it.
LIBII: I just could not learn it. I could not learn it. "One, two, three, four, seven, eight, 10, 12—go!" And everyone was like, "I've witnessed it once. I can now do it." And I was like, "I'm sorry, I need more time. Let me take this home and practice it in front of the mirror for three or four days, bring it back in. This is not fair! Who's equipped to do this." Dancers. Apparently dancers are equipped to do that.
BROWN: On your audition sheet, when you can list special skills, what do you put? Aside from singing and dancing...
LIBII: Well, I still put dancing. Fuck them. Fuck 'em.
HULL: Aren't you an outrageous juggler?
LIBII: I'm not, that was a bit.
HULL: That was a bit? That was a good bit! It went on for a long time.
LIBII: I've just ruined this elaborate practical joke I was going to play. Thank you. The payoff would have been really satisfying. They would have found out I'm a shit juggler.
HULL: He once told us that that was a potential career option for him—juggling.
LIBII: I don't know how this got started—then all of a sudden I was speaking as if I'd really considered being a professional juggler and there was a whole juggling circuit. There might very well be. If I'd thought it through, I would have brought you in on it, for sure.

'Van of the Future' at Melbourne Show
MELBOURNE – Marc 6, 2012: The 'Caravan of the Future' will go on sale at the Caravan, Camping & Touring Supershow at Melbourne's Caulfield Racecourse on Thursday (March 7).
The futuristically re-styled 2013 Bailey Unicorn Series 2 range, with its soaring panoramic front windows, even more plush interior fit-out and extended list of luxury and convenience features for long-term touring, will point the way to future Australian caravan design when it makes its debut appearance on the Bailey Australia stand at the show.
The new Unicorn S2 is the first major revision of the Bristol, UK-built Bailey since it arrived on the Australian market early last year.
Since then more than 250 Baileys caravans have taken to Australian highways and the new models incorporate a myriad of changes based on feedback and suggestions from customers and the RV media.
"Bailey is the largest caravan manufacturer in the UK, but they are determined to succeed in the Australian market," said Bailey Australia Managing Director, Adrian Van Geelan.
"We have listened to our customers and Bailey have listened to our recommendations and the result in the Unicorn S2 range is a light, but very strong caravan that is even more suitable for tough Australian travelling conditions."
Apart from their space-age styling, the new Unicorn S2 models feature more impact resistant and even better insulated side and roof body panels, uprated axles, they have substantially larger water tanks and larger refrigerators, improved stone protection, a taller ride height with better ground clearance, helped by a new spare wheel carrier mounted higher in the chassis for better ground clearance, plus improved flyscreens and window blinds to deal with 'Aussie mossies' and our harsh sunlight.
Other detail changes based on customer feedback include the fitting of an external grab rail for safer entry and exit, a more ergonomic kitchen design with a two-stage bench height, an increased number of 240v and 12v power outlets and more robust fixing of wardrobe hanging rails and internal window surrounds.
All Baileys are now pre-wired for solar power and satellite television, there is a new leatherette trim option as an alternative to the luxurious standard fashion fabric upholstery and all are fitted with premium Michelin tyres mounted on 15-inch rims.
Like all Baileys, the new models are built on a lightweight, yet strong fabricated and galvanised steel chassis using the company's patented Alu-Tech five-part modular construction, in which the 32mm composite wall and ceiling and 44mm thick floor are housed in a structural interlocking aluminium framework.
This industry-leading concept has resulted in further weight-savings in the latest models, ensuring that the entire Unicorn S2 range can be legally and safely towed by family-sized Australian cars and most light SUVs.
The proven strength of this advanced construction allows Bailey to warrant all its caravans for six year in body shell integrity, with a three-year guarantee on manufacturers' components.
The three-model Bailey Unicorn S2 range being sold by Bailey Australia includes single and twin axle models, with internal body lengths ranging from 5.682mm (18ft 8in) to 6.232mm (20ft 5in) and tare weights from 1560kg to 1680kg.

Pulled pork is one of my most favorite foods in the entire world. I make it often at home, but I'm so looking forward to being in Syracuse NY for Valentine's day to go to Dinosaur BBQ and stuff myself with their pulled pork. I'm absolutely going to try your recipe for pulled pork, it's different than the one I use and it looks great. I bet everyone enjoyed it!

I had a good laugh over your NESCO comment! I've seen them and I've heard people that use them say they love them! Sounds like you got a good deal on yours too!

I made this today after losing the pin to another recipe. It was awesome, I cooked 32 lbs for my mom's birthday party in two days. I didn't add the ACV or other liquid but instead layered the bottom with sliced onion because I didn't have onion powder, also I didn't have garlic powder so I used jarred roasted garlic puree. Super yummy, thanks for the recipe!!

MORE than 140 amateur and professional artists will take part in this year's open exhibition at the Turnpike Gallery in Leigh.
The exhibition opens today, Saturday as a celebration of the diversity of local artistic talent.
Each year the Turnpike Gallery invites people living, or working, in the borough to submit artwork or a hand-crafted object to be included in the show.
One of the gallery's most popular exhibitions with visitors and exhibitors alike, it attracts work in a variety of media from painting, sculpture, and photography, to ceramics, textiles and jewellery.
It includes traditional and non-traditional, figurative and abstract works. Running in conjunction with the Open is an exhibition called 'Infusion' by Kuljit Chuhan (Kooj) in collaboration with Raphael Sheriff and Joe Mulenda from the Rafiki Youth Project (Wigan) and Kamosi Youth Project (Leigh).
Kooj worked with young people in the Leigh area from non-western backgrounds including Africa and Eastern Europe using cultural, media and performance methods.
The groups looked at expressing their identities and feelings about the world around them in a variety of ways and the result is an engaging installation of photography, video and text.
The Turnpike's new exhibitions assistant, Amy Cham from Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, said: "It's great that my first job at the Turnpike is to help set up Infusion and the Open.
Both exhibitions present such an exciting variety of art works. Together, they become a portrait of Leigh and Wigan and the diversity of people who live and work here."
The exhibitions run until October 27. For further information call the gallery on 01942 404 420.

Caste Village Shoppes have local feel and family connections
Changes at the Caste Village Shoppes have brought in new customers to old staples in the Whitehall center, business owners say.
Yet, it's the local feel and family connections that keep people coming back.
"Caste Village is one of the few and only shopping centers that when you walk in the owner is standing there to great you," said Tony Bonacci, co-owner of Frank's Shoes, which opened its second store in the last three years in Robinson Town Centre.
It all starts from the top, business owners say. Caste Village Shoppes is a family owned and operated shopping center, where members of the Caste family are involved in the day-to-day operations.
That makes a difference, said Silk Road owner Thuy Lieu.
Many of the more than 50 businesses in the shopping center also are locally owned, with South Hills residents at the helm. Generations, too, work together inside the stores to ensure their businesses prosper.
"This is their career. This is their life," Lieu said.
A third generation of family members now are working at Frank's Shoes and Clothing, which opened at Caste Village in the 1960s as a shoe repair store. The business has been in the family since the 1970s and expanded to sell clothing and footwear, mostly for men, Bonacci said.
"It's a good family oriented place," said store manager Nick Costanzo. "That's what I think makes this shopping center unique."
The store has moved five times inside the shopping center and increased from 600 square feet to a 6,300-square-foot space, Bonacci said. While the majority of the business now is in clothing and shoe sales, Frank's Shoes still does repairs.
Today's shoes are "junk, cheap and horribly made" from plastics and man-made materials — swear words to those in the shoe repair business, Bonacci said. Now, many people simply buy another pair of shoes instead of getting theirs repaired. So it was important for the business to change.
Changes at Caste Village only have improved business, owners said.
"It's the best it's ever been," Bonacci said of the shopping center.
Julie Mancine opened "Julie's Treats" inside Caste Village three years ago.
Like the owners of Frank's Shoes, Mancine, too, has gotten to know her customers well.
The same people come into the shop on a daily basis for coffee, doughnuts and lottery tickets. It's those customers that make work enjoyable.
"We like coming to work every day," Mancine said.
