IKEA Social Initiative Helps Children from Marginal Communities Build
By: A. Sami Malik
FAISALABAD, Pakistan, May 2010 – Only a year ago, eight-year-old Nazdana spent her days picking paper, bottles and metal pieces from the heaps of garbage littered around the city. Today, her world has changed completely. She sits reading from a textbook, dressed in a tidy school uniform in the Education and Counselling Centre (ECC), Ghaziabad, enjoying her newfound freedom from hazardous work.
"My fingers would cut and bleed almost every day from broken glass. After sorting out the garbage, I, my sister and cousins would hang around in the streets all day long looking for anything sellable. We wouldn't bath or change clothes for weeks, sometimes months, says eight-year old Nazdana" Ghaziabad is a low-income residential area in the otherwise affluent city of Faisalabad, also known as the Manchester of Pakistan. A centre for textile production and export, Faisalabad exhibits wide extremes of social and economic disparity. Mixed amidst upmarket mansions with tall boundary walls and private security guards are the tattered tents of nomadic families squatting illegally by open sewers and railway tracks.
In Faisalabad and many other urban areas of Pakistan, most nomadic families are involved in rag-picking: they collect garbage from around town and sort out items which can be sold by weight at meagre rates to recyclers. Every morning at 4 am, the whole family sets out to pick through garbage heaps in streets and open spaces. Most men in this community are drug users, and many of the women are involved in commercial sex. Their children are out of school and vulnerable to many different forms of abuse, as well as the health risks associated with their profession.
Nazdana is glad to have escaped this life. "We use to stuff garbage into our sacks and drag them to the ground close to our tent. We looked through the garbage for paper, bottles and metal pieces. Anything that we could sell," she remembers with a sad look in her eyes. "My fingers would cut and bleed almost every day from broken glass. After sorting out the garbage, I, my sister and cousins would hang around in the streets all day long looking for anything sellable. We wouldn't bath or change clothes for weeks, sometimes months."
It is to help children like Nazdana that UNICEF started the Child Abuse Prevention Project in Faisalabad in 2009. To implement the project, UNICEF selected the Hayat Foundation, an organisation working in Faisalabad with a good network and strong experience of social mobilization.
During 2009, the IKEA Social Initiative provided more than US$ 90,000 to support 17 ECCs in Punjab which have benefitted nearly 7300 children. In Faisalabad, around 700 children are currently enrolled in the four ECCs located in the most disadvantaged areas.
Four ECCs were established in Faisalabad with the objective of creating a protective environment for the most vulnerable children. To achieve this, the ECCs provide life skill-based non-formal education, recreational and vocational training, psychosocial support and referral services. These services help children who are out of school gain a basic education as well as learn to protect themselves from violence, abuse and exploitation.
In the year since their inception, the ECCs have grown in reach and scope. They now use the official Punjab Province syllabus, thus allowing a pathway from non-formal to formal education. Young women take vocational classes in saleable skills such as dressmaking and embroidery to have an alternative source of income.
Recalling the project's early days Sadiq Khan, one of the project supervisors, says, "When we approached the nomad community to introduce the idea of sending their children to the ECCs, they thought it would be a waste of time and a financial loss as each child earns around Rs 150 (US$ 2) per day by selling items collected from the garbage. Once a few children started coming to the centres and we gave them uniforms, shoes and books, other children got interested too. It then became a social pressure and the number of children in our centres started to grow."
Nazdana is one of these children. She revels in the difference in her days. Instead of sorting through Faisalabad's monumental piles of rubbish, she says, "We wake up early and go to a woman in our community for Arabic lessons. Then we return home, get into our school uniform, pick up our books and come to the centre. In the evening we complete our home work and watch TV. My mother collects all the garbage. We don't do that anymore."
"When UNICEF starts a project like this, the idea is that the community assumes ownership once it is established and we pull out," says UNICEF Child Protection Officer, Afshan Tehseen. "Indeed the initial phase is the most difficult. The Hayat Foundation has done well to establish four centres in this city and the financial support from the IKEA Social Initiative has been invaluable. The community has realised the importance of sending their children and women to these centres and there is no turning back."

Coral Calcium04.08.2009
by Life Enthusiast Staff
Micronized Powder
First in the category of "Chemistry and numbers don't account for results - and I am thankful for it anyway" - is Coral Calcium.
We know that it is comprised of calcium and dozens of sea - borne trace elements assembled in a unique way by the life processes of living coral plants. We know that tiny grains of it seem to catalytically alkalinize the water it contacts.
What is not fully understood is why people who have access to even miniscule amounts of it, dissolved into their drinking water, seem to live longer, calmer, happier and healthier lives. They claim that all sorts of aches, pains and complaints alleviate or disappear. They soon look younger, and they say they feel younger too.
Calcium from other sources, even in far greater amounts, just can't approach these amazing all - systems benefits.
The 51mg of Coral Calcium in each daily serving of Iridesca is equivalent to what you would get in a gallon or so of Coral - Calcium - treated "miracle water."
Coral Calcium is also available as a single ingredient.

On the off chance you have been preoccupied with the Polar Vortex, we've officially entered Awards season; the BAFTA nominations were announced today and the Golden Globes will be handed out on Sunday evening.
So perhaps it's no surprise to find various articles that tangentially link our emotional and political sentiments to topical films to emotional and political attitudes.
Slate, as one example, posted a link to a study that reported how people's viewpoints can change after watching a film with a strong political message. Writers Asawin Suebsaeng and Chris Mooney selected JFK, The Cider House Rules and The Day After Tomorrow among a list of movies that been singled out in various scientific studies for reshaping opinion.
Take JFK: "In a 1995 study of viewers before and after seeing the film, Stanford University psychologist Lisa Butler and her colleagues found that seeing JFK 'doubled the level of anger' of viewers."
Whereas they point out that The Cider House Rules' author and screenwriter John Irving might have encouraged pro-abortion support when he "thanked 'everyone at Planned Parenthood' and NARAL Pro-Choice America at the end of his acceptance speech."
Twelve years after the film's release, two researchers at Southern Illinois University screened it among a group of randomly chosen participants and found that, despite its fictional storyline, that audience felt "more favorable toward legalized abortion in the case of incest than those in the control group."
As for The Day After Tomorrow, a film that was largely panned by critics, apparently 83 per cent of those who watched the global warming-prompts-Ice Age blockbuster were "somewhat" or "very concerned" about global warming versus 72 per cent of non-watchers, according to Yale researcher Anthony Leiserowitz, who conducted a survey three weeks after the film debuted.
Interestingly – although perhaps to no one's surprise – the Slate contributors cap their list with All the President's Men, which was the basis for a 1979 study that revealed a Republican bias against the press.
But if some of these studies seem slightly dated, Suebsaeng and Mooney note that the most recent, published in Social Science Quarterly, suggests that Hollywood films are responsible for more liberal-leaning sentiments. In the abstract for "Moving Pictures? Experimental Evidence of Cinematic Influence on Political Attitudes," Todd Adkins and Jeremiah Castle claim that "popular movies possess the ability to change political attitudes, especially on issues that are unframed by the media." Political scientists at Notre Dame University, they go on to state, "such influence persists over time and is not moderated by partisanship, ideology or political knowledge."
Elsewhere, The Independent looked at the same study and homed in on the noteworthy detail that the audience was "more likely to experience a 'leftward shift' in attitudes" when they were "not prepared" to be critical.
Which is to say, less obvious political messages – often originating in sentimental, films like As Good As It Gets with its health-care storyline – could linger as strongly as those with overtly partisan plotlines.
So there you go.
Now we'll need to wait and see who's first to develop a Polar Vortex epic disaster thriller rom-com.Report Typo/Error

Telecommunications players have welcomed the competition watchdog's draft decision to reject
In a draft decision on Thursday, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said it was unable to accept the NBN Co's special access undertaking (SAU), the lengthy document outlining its pricing and access arrangements for the next three decades.
The commission called for further changes to the document, including measures enabling it to enforce caps on broadband prices and to review contentious usage charges over time.
The surprise decision, which comes after more than 18 months of negotiations, is a victory for
Optus director of corporate and regulatory affairs
"We can't predict the shape of technology or the thinking of NBN executives for 27 years, such agreements need real reviews periodically," he said.
"This is an important step towards reaching viable regulatory arrangements for the NBN."
Mr Epstein said that adopting the changes would provide greater oversight of NBN Co, a key point of contention between the company building the NBN and industry players.
The ACCC's proposed variations include explicitly noting the watchdog's ability to directly regulate pricing in future. It would also open the potential for carriers such as Telstra and Optus to commercially negotiate some terms of access to the NBN not related to pricing.
"From our perspective, the regulatory uncertainty and the unreasonable terms of the SAU have always been a concern and the ACCC have recognised those concerns in this draft," iiNet chief regulatory officer Steve Dalby said.
However, he noted a continued lack of certainty for service providers, who could be held liable for service issues in NBN Co's control.
Matt Healy, national executive of regulatory and government at Macquarie Telecom also welcomed the commission's decision on key issues.
AAPT chief executive
Pleasant surprise
"We are pleasantly surprised both with the timing and the content, because it seems like they are going to get to the end result quite quickly, and also they have taken on a lot of the input from the industry," he said.
"I don't think this is too damaging for NBN Co. It is a tough project, we all get that. I think this is a reasonable approach, because who knows what the world is going to be like in 20 years?"
The ACCC is expected to make a final decision on the undertaking by July this year, though that deadline is pending NBN Co's options of changing or maintaining its proposals.

The Internet's head exploded yesterday at the news that FunnyJunk had sent a $20,000 legal demand letter to The Oatmeal, asserting that the Oatmeal's complaint about FunnyJunk's users reposting Oatmeal content was, itself, an offense warranting a $20,000 settlement.
This act of monumental chutzpah ("You want ME to pay YOU $20,000 for hosting MY unlicensed comics on your shitty website for the past three years?") was matched by Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman's response: to promise to raise $20,000 for cancer charities, but before it was turned over to them, to photograph himself standing astride the pile of money and forward this photo, along with a cartoon depicting Funnyjunk's lawyer's mother trying to seduce a bear, to FunnyJunk and its counsel.
The fundraiser was a smashing success, blowing past the $100,000 mark in a day. Now, MSNBC has caught up with FunnyJunk's counsel, Charles Carreon, a storied attorney who made his reputation litigating the sex.com case. They find Carreon in a state of sheer bewilderment as he confronts the enormous storm of bad will, negative publicity, and public disapprobation he and his client find themselves amidst. As he says, "I'm completely unfamiliar really with this style of responding to a legal threat."
I'd be tempted to feel some sympathy for Carreon, save for the fact that the interview closes with this: "He also explains that he believes Inman's fundraiser to be a violation of the terms of service of IndieGoGo, the website being used to collect donations, and has sent a request to disable the fundraising campaign." It's hard to feel sympathy for someone who wants to take over $100,000 away from cancer charities because of a supposed violation of someone else's fine-print. Read the rest

What? How can you hunt and listen to music at the same time? Can't hear the whisper of wings or

" Extending over three levels of The Scotsman Hotel, the 20,000 sq. ft. club has a 16 metre swimming pool, spa pool, sauna, sanarium and steam rooms, Arctic & Tropical showers, 60 station gymnasium, cardio theatre, aerobics studio and café bar. In addition, there are six therapy suites offering a range of beauty and health treatments and a relaxation room. "
(the update's at the end...) Doo you love gimmicks? Aaah... well it has long been known that ShoppingGirl is an advertising man's dream - ie a total sucker for 'little extras' and groovy merchandising. So it was no surprise quite frankly when I was pretty much first in the queue to sign up for membership to Edinburgh's newest fitness club. What did the Escape Club offer that my last gym didn't? OK, in no particular order: 60 cardio machines, a fitness studio with full programme of classes, an aluminimum lined swimming pool, arctic showers (ooh!), a fitness programme you access over the net, tv's attached to the exercise machines, and... GET THIS! A mini spin drier in the changing rooms to dry your dripping cossie!! I mean, come on - who wouldn't be seduced by all these doo dahs and fripperies? Readers, I was reeled in like a squirming haddock. My old gym was decrepit to say the least - mouldy showers, broken equipment, tiny steam room, arse to elbow in the changing rooms etc. It was time for a change and I knew it. The Escape club started their marketing offensive four months in advance of actually opening - this gym is SPANKING new, part of a new boutique hotel in Edinburgh's city centre. Let's face it - the market has become somewhat saturated round here, with all the major hotels offering improved health clubs, not to mention the huge complexes such as Esporta and LivingWell. They had their work cut out to catch the floating voters like myself, but perks and persuasion won the day. Basically, the Escape club likes to bill itself as the trendy, design-led gym. Nowhere is this more evident than in the pool area, which is as tastefully decorated (black slate and titanic-like funnels) as anything London could offer, and lit with such subtlety it's a bit like swimming in the abyss! There is neon lighting under the water a
nd that alumimium lining has to be seen to be believed. <br>The steam room is huge, and wonderfully clean. It is tiled in blue mosaic, a bit like a Roman bath house, and it never gets uncomfortably busy. The sauna is also large, but I hate dry heat so I haven't been in. Give me steam or give me death! The reception area is staffed by uniformed assistants, who have the appearance and happy demeanour of air stewardesses. Thankfully, they are efficient and friendly too, and willing to cheerfully take on board any wee complaints you may have. When you check in (by swiping your trendy Escape card) you are offered a towel - and I always get two! Hurrah. Some gyms are tight about this. You then head through the very relaxing lounge area, up the stairs, and through the gym to the changing rooms. They have pretty much thought of everything here. The lockers are big, and there's millions of them so you can spread out a bit. There are four hairdriers, the famous aforementioned spin drier, and best of all - a huge TV!!! Handy for watching Paul and Helen's latest antics as you towel off. The locker keys are attached to aqua coloured yoga beads - very Madonna! The boys get navy ones, what fun! The gym area is very industrial in design - grey floors and white everything else, with modern art on the walls. There are more machines than are ever needed, even at peak times, so no shuffling about waiting. Some of the machines have their own televisions! HOW gimmicky is that! You have to bring your own headphones, but it's worth it for that 'Virgin Atlantic' luxury feeling! There are also heaps of daily newspapers provided - ideal for flicking through to pass time on the exercise bike. I am becoming well versed in current affairs since joining this gym! There are also heaps of weight machines - all of which scare the living crap out of me - but the staff are on hand to help at all t
imes, and will talk you through it gently. I have only seen a couple of serious bodybuilder types kicking about, and I don't let it put me off. My teeny weights do as much for me as their huge ones do for them. There is always music playing in the gym - beware, this may be Deacon Blue. Or indeed, the Beatles Greatest Hits sung in German (Sie Leibt Dich Ja, Ja, Ja etc). Phil Collins makes the odd appearance too - cutting edge it ain't. Points like this make me think it would be a welcome addition in this gym to have some kind of message board, where members can interact and put across suggestions to management. Maybe this is on the way though - the Escape is really brand new, and is still really getting up and running. Minor gripes aside - this place is has style and luxury in spades. If like me you need that extra incentive to stick to a fitness regime, then I can't recommend this club enough. The facilities are all excellent, and the staff do everything they can to sure you enjoy your workout. The pool area is just total indulgence after a hard day - and makes you feel like a millionaire. I myself have a HUGE incentive to lose some flab - I'm heading to Miami in a couple of weeks and need to pass muster in a bikini! This place is ideal for me, as I get to feel pampered and special as I work away at my wobbly bits. And god knows we all want to feel special! And how much does all this luxury cost? OK, don't tell my dad... Well my membership currently costs me 56 quid a month. (sharp intake of breath!) Yes, it's a lot but to me it is definitely worth it, as this club has all the incentives I need to keep up my will power and to stick to my regime. Also, I got my first month free as an apology from the club for not opening on time. I'm happy! So, if you want to work out in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the centre of Edinburgh - and be spoilt at the same time - g
et your ass down to the Escape club. As you chill out in the king size jacuzzi you'll feel like Puff Daddy. And as you watch the wobble melt away you'll look like J-Lo herself!! *** UPDATE *** UPDATE *** Ok, it's now a good six months since I wrote this, and guess what, I'm still loving it! The main development is that I have now started going to some of the classes - Body Combat and step aerobics - and I can honestly say these are fantastic. The instructors are ace, the music is superb, my motivation is sky high. There is loads on offer, including spinning, body pump, yoga, hi nrg, amazing abs etc etc. Something for everyone, and a great way to keep up your resolve. The music in the gym is also much improved! No more deacon blue - it's dance music all the way. And there is now a 'comments book' you can put any little complaints into, with an answering back facility for the management to have their say. It makes a great read! And - shock horror, I have sampled the sunbed too! Its amazing - just five minutes makes you a lovely pink colour! No lectures please - I'm aware of the risks :) So there it is - a long term satisfied customer. Thanks for reading y'all, and come back soon!

Full text not available from this repository.
This paper describes the development of a laboratory test that can be used to evaluate the factors relating to the generation of tyre/road noise. An internal drum machine known as Ulster Load Tyre Road Assimilator(ULTRA), was used to assess different types of road surface using smooth and treaded tyres at different speed, loading and tyre pressure conditions. Speed was found to be the biggest factor to effect tyre/road noise followed by the presence of joints, surface texture depth, loading and tyre pressure. A smooth test tyre gives better correlation with texture depth compared to a treaded tyre. The new test methods developed have been shown to rank the materials assessed according to their expected in-service performance. The method provides the highway industry and specifying bodies a laboratory means of both ranking noise and for understanding the mechanisms involved in its generation.

Sometimes relationship break ups can be a punish and it takes ages to emerge from the fog, sometimes they end and it's time to move on to another relationship right away. But how do you know? Mamamia reader Kim* writes:
"Recently (3.5 weeks to be exact) I split with my partner of six and a half years. Now, in my mind our relationship has been over for a long time. We have not had sex in over a year, he is overworked – we just live day to day as housemates and not much more.
A few weeks before I "bit the bullet" – I met someone. At a wedding. Interstate (my home state). This guy was amazing – incredible. Nothing happened – although I would have let it if he had not been such a gentleman and put me in a cab.
We have been in close contact ever since – I have even been to see him, and he has been to see me. We have decided that yes, we would like to be together. In my mind it is not too soon, it's not a rebound – but to everyone else this is going to sting. This new guy's opinion is that everyone is entitled to a private life, and not everyone is going to like it, but the people who matter will come around in the end.
What does everyone think?

The cleanliness of the lodge was not what it should be, cobwebs and dust in evidence everywhere which is a shame as the lodge itself was really nice.

There were some maintenance issues with the lodge. The window did not open in the bathroom, the door to the bedroom did not shut and the fridge door did not shut properly. The lodge was ok but I found myself brushing the cobwebs off the outdoor furniture on my first day.

Lodge was not as comfortable as expected - too many covers on the settees and only one bedside table for the double bed.
Twin bedroom door was very difficult to open, don't know if they have put this right yet, as complained twice. Also no rail in the wardrobe to hang clothes.

The main problems were the density of the trees and the poor state of the roads around the lodges and parts of the road from the lodges to the hotel and the speed bumps were too severe.

- Synopsis
- Joyce Carol Oates's Wonderland Quartet comprises four remarkable novels that explore social class in America and the inner lives of young Americans. In Expensive People, Oates takes a provocative and suspenseful look at the roiling secrets of America's affluent suburbs. Set in the late 1960s, this first-person confession is narrated by Richard Everett, a precocious and obese boy who sees himself as a minor character in the alarming drama unfolding around him. Fascinated by yet alienated from his attractive, self-absorbed parents and the privileged world they inhabit, Richard incisively analyzes his own mismanaged childhood, his pretentious private schooling, his "successful-executive" father, and his elusive mother. In an act of defiance and desperation, eleven-year-old Richard strikes out in a way that presages the violence of ever-younger Americans in the turbulent decades to come.A National Book Award finalist, Expensive People is a stunning combination of social satire and gothic horror. "You cannot put this novel away after you have opened it," said The Detroit News. "This is that kind of book-hypnotic, fascinating, and electrifying."Expensive People is the second novel in the Wonderland Quartet. The books that complete this acclaimed series, A Garden of Earthly Delights, them, and Wonderland, are also available from the Modern Library.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School teachers and nurses will receive pay increases this year.
On Sept. 9, the District 196 School Board unanimously approved a new two-year agreement with the Dakota County United Educators union that includes a 2 percent increase to the salary schedule each year. The union represents nearly 2,000 teachers and school nurses in the district, and ratified the tentative agreement Sept. 4.
Board Member Bob Schutte was absent from the meeting.
Teachers at the top step of pay will receive an additional 0.71 percent increase in the first year of the contract and an additional 0.6 percent in the second year.
Longevity pay for eligible employees will increase by a range of $63 to $190 in the first year, depending on the employee's experience level, and by a range of $62 to $187 in the second year.
Under the contract, which is retroactive to July 1, 2013 and spans to June 30, 2015, a first-year teacher with a bachelor's degree will earn $37,324. An experienced teacher with a master's degree at the top of the schedule will earn $68,194 in base salary and up to $7,183 in longevity pay.
The district also agreed to increase its contribution for health insurance premiums by 2 percent in the first year and 1 percent in the second year of the contract.
The pay increase is the first in two years. A contract passed in 2011 included pay freezes for all teachers and nurses in the first year and a 1 percent increase for top step salaries in the second year.

Actor Christopher Reeve appeared before a New York audience and proudly pointed out a severed connection: the ventilator he has had to use since the horseback riding accident that left him paralysed was no longer there.
"To breathe normally, to be able to smell ... anything that makes you feel more normal is psychologically so important," the actor told a crowd at the annual benefit for his Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.
In February, Reeve became the third person in the United States to undergo a surgical procedure called diaphragm pacing, which involves threading tiny wires through small incisions in the diaphragm. The wires connect electrodes to a control box outside the body. The device allows him to breathe without a ventilator for hours at a time.
Reeve had demonstrated the device, which works like a pacemaker, earlier this month in an interview on the ABC television network. Tuesday's event was billed as his first public appearance using the device.
Arriving on stage, Reeve noted that usually he is seen "wearing a necklace of corrugated plastic."
"I'd like you to notice that I'm not wearing it tonight," the 51-year-old announced. Ever since he was a little boy, he noted, "I've been trying to avoid getting dressed up and wearing a necktie. Now I get my wish."
The Superman actor, who was paralysed from the neck down in 1995, said he'd had some trouble learning to use the device.
He tried to breathe and eat simultaneously, only to choke on a piece of lettuce, then on a piece of tuna fish. He learned that he had to perform one function at a time.

OK, dear readers, perhaps a glimmer of hope for optimism regarding D DAN HAMHUIS signing with the Penguins:
Early Tuesday I sent his agent a text asking about reports that Hamhuis desires to play in Canada, preferably Western Canada. (Hamhuis' lives in British Columbia, Canada). Here is the agent's response, which I received late Tuesday evening:
"Untrue — Dan remains very open minded with respect to playing in the East versus the West or Canada versus the United States."
If that is true — and I have no reason not to believe agent WADE ARNOTT, who has been honest in his talks with me — certainly U.S. teams wouldn't be hesitant with Hamhuis come noon Thursday. Also, if true, it would suggest that Hamhuis' reluctance to reach terms with Philadelphia had more to do with his fit with the Flyers than any geographical hangups.
He's a top-pairing defenseman with the Penguins. If geography isn't an issue certainly the Penguins would seemingly be an enticing suitor, perhaps the most enticing pending his wants.

Emily Steinlight specializes in nineteenth-century British literature, with a focus on the relationship between political thought and literary form, as well as the history and theory of the novel, mass politics, the Victorian natural and social sciences, and critical theory. She received her Ph.D. from Brown University, where she held a Graduate Fellowship at the Cogut Center for the Humanities and the Roland G. D. Richardson Fellowship in the Department of English. She has taught at Trinity University and, before that, at the University of Chicago, where she was a Harper-Schmidt Fellow and Collegiate Assistant Professor in the Humanities.
She has recently completed a book manuscript titled "The Biopolitical Imagination: Literary Form and the Politics of Population," which reveals how Romantic and Victorian writing imagined a constant surplus of human life and recast that demographic surplus as the necessary condition for modern politics. Her second book project, "Unmanageable Thoughts," examines the interplay of Victorian psychological theory and the social division of labor in order to consider why consciousness emerges as one of the defining problems of the nineteenth century. Steinlight's essays appear in such journals as ELH, Novel: A Forum on Fiction, and Narrative.

About the Book
I had the good fortune to have been selected by the good folks at Hasselblad as New York City's H4D-40 featured photographer for July-August 2010. For a month, I was in possession of a brand new H4D-40 and was tasked with putting the camera through its paces as I went about my shooting.
During the month, I shot a wide ranging variety of material including the construction of the High Line, Willets Point garage culture, the rides of Coney Island, the birth of my daughter, plus much much more.
I posted images and stories about my experiences to the HassyUSA website. This book is a compendium of those posts.
At the end of the year, Hasselblad will crown one of their featured photographers as the winner of the H4D-40 camera.

James Franco's Making A Movie About Lindsay Lohan And James Franco
I honestly have no idea what the hell I just read, but apparently James Franco is making some sort of movie/video arthouse fart-wafting project that's about Lindsay Lohan and, surprise, James Franco played by lookalikes who let's just assume have cocks for noses. Except that would mean the Lindsay character would have to keep blowing them for acting work to maintain an atmosphere of authenticity, so scratch that. Scratch that one. Too distracting. E! News reports:
According to the casting breakdown, Franco is looking for a male to fill "James Franco Types ages 13, 21, 30, 45, and 60."
Regarding his LiLo lookalike, the thesp is seeking a female to play a "Lindsay Lohan type ages 13, 21, 30, 45 and 60."
Precious little other information about the flick was disclosed, including whether Franco or Lohan—who are said to be close pals—will be making an appearance.
The casting notice did stipulate however that Franco's latest enterprise will be a "video/art project"—which is right up Franco's alley…
I had no idea Lindsay Lohan and James Franco are considered friends now after she basically stalked him for the past decade, but I guess that's what happens when you both hang around Terry Richardson all the time. That and he makes you have sex in front of him at gunpoint while he masturbates onto an albino tiger. As for how I know that, pure intuition. Sort of like how bees can navigate using the sun except I call women who retain water pregnant. We're miracles of nature.

President Obama's team has offered Mitt Romney a deal. If Romney will produce his tax records for the past five years, the Obama team will cease making an issue of the presumptive GOP nominee's unwillingness to produce his records for more than the past two years.
Romney should respond by requesting of Obama the following:
• Believable birth certificate;
• Explanation how he had a Connecticut Social Security Number when he never resided in that state;
• College records from Occidental and Columbia;
• Transcripts of records and work done at Harvard Law School;
• The reason for surrendering a license to practice law;
• Passports that enabled travel overseas; and
• Explanation as to why an elected Sheriff (Joe Arpaio) is being harassed for seeking answers to some of these questions.
If Romney will not issue such a response, he is, in effect, agreeing that that there are no legitimate questions about the Obama past. The truth is that there are many unanswered questions and an equal number of unsatisfactory explanations about the president's past.
The American people deserve answers. Mitt Romney has been presented an opportunity to get them. Let us hope that he takes it.

X-Ray: X-Ray Home | Computed Tomography | Continuing Education |Forms | Frequently Asked Questions
Since October 2009 there have been a number of reports regarding CT overexposures to patients nationwide. In the interest of educating the citizens of Arkansas regarding the importance of regulating exposure to ionizing radiation, the following information is being provided.
As with all imaging modalities, it is imperative that consumers be informed and involved with their medical practitioner to insure that exposure to ionizing radiation be limited to that which is absolutely necessary. Particularly for parents of young children, it is recommended that the parent keep a history of all radiological procedures and that medical professionals be made aware of previous studies done prior to ordering tests in an effort to limit unnecessary repeat examinations. In this regard, links are provided to a national program called "Image Gently" which provides information and tools to all consumers enabling them to track their own radiation exposure history.
Additionally, listed below are links to news articles and information regarding recent reports of overexposures during CT Perfusion Studies as well as Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Health Advisories.

Hardly any week goes by lately without some Indian company alleging mis-selling of currency derivatives products. Banks are equal to the task, claiming that since customers gave explicit approval for these products, they should pay up. Each side has equally good reasons why the other is to blame for the mess. In some specific cases, perhaps, one side was more blameworthy, but if one were to generalize, both the buyer and the seller are equally to blame for entering the wrong contracts.
The regulator for this market, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has by and large come out unscathed from the whole ordeal. But by fostering a non-transparent over-the-counter (OTC) market for currency derivatives, instead of first establishing a robust exchange-traded market, RBI has played no small role in the currency derivatives saga. Now, thanks to a push from the ministry of finance, the central bank is actively working on launching exchange-traded currency and interest rate derivatives. The increasing number of lawsuits and regular news of large mark-to-market losses have only made the atmosphere more conducive for exchange-traded derivatives.
Mobis Philipose
How could an exchange-traded format help vis-à-vis an OTC one? Buyers and sellers of exchange-traded derivatives deal with a central counterparty, the clearing house of the exchange. Even if one side defaults, the clearing house will make good the payment to the other. It's able to do this by collecting adequate margins from both sides, in the form of upfront deposits and then daily mark-to-market margins. OTC contracts, on the other hand, are difficult to enforce, as banks are now discovering to their horror.
Besides, exchange-traded derivatives are standardized contracts and are relatively simple to understand, thus providing transparency to buyers and sellers. Firms who need a simple hedge against their foreign currency exposure needn't go to banks, but can directly trade on the market. Of course, one could still be lured to the OTC segment for speculative gain, but at least such incidents would be less when the option of exchange-traded derivatives is available.
Note that the first instance of a soured currency derivatives contract became public as early as November last year, when Hexaware Technologies Ltd made a provision for potential losses that were nearly as high as its yearly profit. And similar news keeps pouring in even now—last week, Himatsingka Seide Ltd disclosed a mark-to-market loss of Rs175 crore and said that it has sued the bank that sold the derivative product. Contrast that with huge losses faced by traders and brokers in the equity derivatives market in January—none of the involved parties are reported to be tangled in legal cases and the event itself has faded into distant memory. The no-nonsense approach of collecting margins and guaranteeing trades by a clearing house resulted in all trades being honoured.
RBI and Sebi (Securities Exchange Board of India) are now jointly working on the rules for exchange-traded currency derivatives, since these products will be launched on stock exchanges. According to a news report, bankers expect tight controls after the losses reported by many firms on account of currency derivatives. It would be unfortunate if rules were so tight that they discourage participation. In 2003, when interest rate futures were launched on the National Stock Exchange, not only was the product design flawed, but there was also a restriction on bank participation. In the exchange-traded format, they had to put up full margin, while for OTC swaps there were no margin requirements.
Overseas markets that have succeeded with exchange-traded currency and interest rate derivatives have designed them keeping in mind end users such as banks, who take the biggest exposure. This helps build critical mass, which in turn draws other players.
Banks, of course, prefer the OTC format simply because they can earn higher fees—in many exotic currency derivatives contracts, it isn't even clear how much the fees are or how they are calculated. But RBI can encourage exchange-traded derivatives on the one hand and have more stringent disclosure and margin requirements in the OTC segment on the other, which will result in greater participation by banks. This is the least it can do to correct its past mistake of fostering an OTC culture.
Sebi has been in overdrive ever since the change in its leadership earlier this year. Earlier this month, the stock market regulator allowed cross-margining of institutional trades between the cash and derivatives market. The move came soon after it imposed margins on cash market trades. The idea is to provide relief on margin payment on cash market trades if an institutional investor already has an offsetting position in the derivatives market.
Cross margining: few takers at first, but good first step
But custodians and brokers say there are few takers for the cross-margining benefit. For starters, only a few institutions engage in arbitrage trades between the cash and derivatives market. Secondly, margins are now payable within a day of the trade (T+1), while full payment for cash market transactions are to be made within two days (T+2), and so the margin relief is just for a day. A derivatives broker adds that arbitrage trades have in any case reduced after the change in the accounting treatment of securities transaction tax (STT) this fiscal year.
Still, Sebi's move towards cross-margining is welcome especially since it had been talked about for years and hadn't yet been implemented. The regulator has said that this is a first step, which implies that one can expect more in the future. Allowing margin relief on derivatives trades against offsetting stock holdings would be one area traders would applaud. But this may require quite some work, in terms of co-ordination between the clearing house and depositories regarding stock holdings. In any case, traders can use stock holdings as part (50%) of their margin payment in the derivatives segment.
What Sebi can move a lot quicker on are offsetting trades within the derivatives segment, where the risk is considerably reduced due to hedges but full margin is collected on both legs of the trade. This would help unlock considerable amount of capital for derivatives traders and improve the liquidity in the market.

text: Hull trains is a service that runs between Hull and Londons Kings Cross 3-4 times a day. Its only 2 years only but, judging by the overcrowded trains, the best way of getting to Hull, and the cheapest. With a young Persons railcard, an open return costs £30 compared to £48 with GNER (and then you'll probably have to change at Doncaster to one of Arriva's nasty 'Bus-trains'. Its a fairly punctual service, which takes about three hours to complete. Stops at Grantham, Doncaster, Selby and Brough. The trains always have a buffett desk serving drinks, snacks and sandwiches. Dont plan on having your dinner there! The service attandants are helpful and polite, and always to hand. You can always find one hanging in front of the train before departing which is very helpful. All in all reasonable, but with one grudge- those trains are simply too small! Its a very new (and clean) train, but it has small seats that would make an osteopath very rich. Thats assuming you can get a seat because the service is always so overcrowded. So booking a seat is very important- and get ready to fight for it if someone claims its theirs (this always happens). Dont get a table seat as then the person sitting in front of you will think you are trying to seduce them- no-legroom you see. Then there is the bumpy ride, not Hull Trains fault as such (although its less apparent in GNER trains) made worse if you spill coffee over your lap. And then there is the sobering speed restriction when going through Potters Bar very slowly. Still, in spite of its faults, if you book your seat you'll save alot of cash (make sure you buy a HULL Trains only ticket) over using GNER, and its much more convenient.

It is mainly an Angelique/Baldur's Gate crossover fic, but as no knowledge of the Baldur's Gate game is needed to understand the fic, I'll post it under the Angelique tag.
Different influentions can be hinted: The Endless from Sandman, Houses from Changeling: The Dreaming, etc. Well, fanfics are written to fulfill the author's wishes, the 'what ifs' in our minds, and my main 'what if' right now is: What if my character from Baldur's Gate (that had many adventures outside the Forgotten Realms world in my wild imagination) got stuck up in the Sanctuary?
The story is set after Angelique Tenkuu no Requiem, which game, by the way, I don't have, so I'm writing based on reviews and stuff. Right now I'm saving money to buy a ps2 and Angelique Trois... Ugh, now that I think of it, I just want a ps2 because of the games that are mainly sold in Japan. I wish I could live there...
Ooookay, back to the fanfic stuff... If you are an Angelique fan and are puzzled with the amount of foreign information I put here (Baldur's, Sandman, Changeling and whatever), don't be intimidated by it and please read (and review!). All the old good Guardians will be there, as well the instructors and Ernst (since it's after the Special 2, anyway). The story revolves about the Queen and the Cosmos issue, so it's perfectly understandable and enjoyable by the fans (with the dating elements, of course! ^_~).
This is the result of accumulated ideas, and intended to be a looooong story. Maybe I'll even use the Solitaire, the disguised Despair, when I see fit. Or put some of my old and long loved characters from the dreams I used to have. Well, I have great expectations for it, and I ask for reviews to give more ideas, opinions and even to put some sanity into my head ('Hey! Collet is completely out of character! She's more like that and that, not like this!'). Of course, constructive criticism, don't waste my time saying that something is wrong. Please tell WHAT is wrong and SHOW possible ways to amend it. English is not my primary language, but I accept corrections. I use a Microsoft Word with spell check, but, who knows?
Now that the 'i' is dotted and the 't' is slashed...
...Let's move on to the fic, yay!
Rosalia wished a good night and closed the door as she got out of the Queen's chamber. She knew that Angelique Limoges missed spending time with the Guardians and her days as a happy and ordinary girl, but today she seemed less cheerful than before. When confronted by her Aide, she would just smile her broad smile and tell her that she just has a weird feeling and that would wear off soon, nothing to be worried about. Rosa looked at the closed door behind her with concern in her eyes and though: 'No, Ange… When a Queen has a weird feeling, as you say, it means something is about to happen… Maybe… I should bring this question to Julious-sama?'. She soon shook her head and proceeded to her own room. No… The way Julious feels protective about the Winged Queen, he would only have one more concern in his shoulders and blame her majesty's discomfort on the other Guardians, especially Randy, for whom everybody knew that the golden-haired Angelique hold feelings. When she lied in her bed she had already decided to keep it quiet… For now.
Collet yawned and stretched her arms. That was a tiring evening, having to study all the data on her desk to see if everything was back to normal after the Leviath issue… She would only be tranquil after her planets hold no sign of what those clone-meanies have done. After her extensive study, she happily saw that everything was back on the tracks, but still… Something on her chest told the opposite. Well, during the afternoon she already checked the data with Rachel, but that feeling asked her to review all the papers again and she did it alone, wanting not to worry her friend. She didn't find anything unusual and should be relieved, but she wasn't.
- Ah, well. Maybe all I need is a good rest!
Cheering up, she washed her face and went to the dreamland. And so did the Queen… And someone else.
'This is a good dream after all'. The Angeliques knew that they were worried for nothing when they fell into deep slumber and were soon flying around their planets and its countries, as if they were in the Star Disk. They saw the people living their lives, some happily, some sadly, but always full of hope. Free, the two girls, each on her own dream, roamed about the universe… It felt so small now! Like a ball you could hug with your own arms! For one instant, they were in the universe and the universe was on them… Turning into a complete and whole being. But suddenly the ball called universe exploded and swallowed scared Angeliques in its deep darkness. It got so much bigger now! Knowing not where to go, they felt lost in an endless ocean of shadow with sparkling dots, as if they were falling into infinity. And then, they saw…
- Owww… My head!
Angelique Collet rubbed the back of her head after she had fallen of the bed.
- What a scary nightmare! It was good at first, but then…
In the dark of her room, she seated in the bed and reached for the alarm clock and turned its night light on.
- Huh?? I was off just five minutes??? It can't be! I… I REALLY need some rest.
Convinced that the stressful events she dealt with in the past was making her go nuts, she emptied the glass of water next to the clock and went back to sleep, decided to put her strange feeling and equally strange dream aside.
Meanwhile, the other Angelique was still asleep, deep in the same dream. Some tears rolled by her cheek and wet her pillow. Her lips moved and if there were anybody to hear her, would reach the conclusion that she was talking in her dream. Talk? No, praying would be more appropriated. Praying to someone.

Maximize the Success of Your Control System Implementation with Standards-Based Object-Oriented Design
Find Out What Are the Benefits of Using Object-Oriented Design Principals in the Design of a Modern Process Control Solution
Organize objects into a hierarchy. Complex control systems are rarely flat. Direct control is generally at the bottom, managed by group supervisory code. That supervisory code is in turn supervised by more sophisticated control or sequential logic that is in turn manipulated by even more sophisticated procedural code, and on it goes. Diagrammatically, the hierarchy mimics the roots of a tree, with the various root hairs (field I/O) converging over and over again to form devices, groups, process functions, operations, procedures, etc., until everything combines into a common trunk (the operator). This natural hierarchy is dictated by the process and/or operating requirements and is generally not difficult for a process control engineer to uncover. Once known, it makes sense to structure the code objects in a similar hierarchy, with each object capable of performing its desired function while collaborating with other objects to carry out group actions.
ISA-88, being initially focused on batch processes, provides a thorough set of guidelines for properly sorting out the desired process/equipment hierarchy. The standard also defines different object types used to model the hierarchy, namely procedural and control. Procedural objects deal with the execution of pre-defined, recipe-driven operations that produce a product with the highest quality or in the greatest quantity. Ordering and sequencing of process steps are the principal focus of procedural objects.
By contrast, control objects provide coordinating and basic control functionality, but sometimes include equipment-specific procedural logic as well. Equipment modules (EM) and control modules (CM), which are the common variants of the control object, translate process-oriented functions into equipment actions and form the all-important interface between the control system and the physical plant. An appropriate collection of these workhorse objects can fully realize all of the operator-directed functionality of a process which does not require automation of its operating procedures. For this reason, a lot of care is taken to describe the details of their creation.
The corresponding workhorse elements of IEC 61499 are called basic and composite function blocks, but their purpose and intent generally matches that of EMs and CMs. One distinction of IEC 61499 is in how it further breaks down the function block into two separate parts, namely algorithms and equipment control charts (ECC). Algorithms manipulate process data and ECCs process event information. While EMs and CMs contain the same inherent functionality, ISA-88 does not specify that a clear separation exist between the two halves.
Utilize flexible mechanisms for communications between objects. A hierarchical control structure only works when objects can communicate effectively with each other. The communication mechanisms supporting the supervision of one object by another need to be simple and reliable, but also need to be flexible enough to permit more complex cases - where the conditional selection of which object is in charge at any given moment may be required (commonly needed for batch recipe execution). In this way, the hierarchy can be modified as needed at runtime, adapting to the varying needs of the process or the operating personnel. Reliable, but temporary, connections can be established between objects and then replaced with equally reliable connections with other objects when necessary. This is analogous to joining objects with Velcro rather than welding the pieces together.
Another aspect of inter-object communication is that of entity location and identification. In truly distributed systems, it is often a requirement that the communications between objects include information about the ID (e.g., DNS name) and sometimes location (e.g., network segment) of the message originator or recipient (or both). This is especially true of IEC 61499, where a stated goal is to achieve distributed control that permits the flexible assignment of execution responsibility for the various logic components across a widely distributed physical architecture. This is similar to the scheme employed by applications constructed from software-as-a-service (SaaS) components. This service-oriented architecture (SOA) permits any component of the system to reside anywhere in the network space without impeding the operation of the system as a whole. The execution flexibility gained by this approach is valuable for obvious reasons, but requires a sophisticated and well-structured messaging scheme that can be too much effort for many projects to justify. Therefore, since the degree of required flexibility – and resulting message complexity – varies for each project, choosing an appropriate messaging scheme to meet project goals should be left to the discretion of the solution designer.
Establish a proxy for external interfaces. When communication must cross boundaries of systems which are created or managed by different resources, it is a good idea to have a proxy object to facilitate data mapping and execution control (blocking or re-directing messages). These features can greatly enhance the flexibility of development and start-up efforts, not to mention ad-hoc troubleshooting of problems that arise later. Quite often, the interface is provided by a middleware product which already possesses these desired features; but when a sufficiently functional middleware solution doesn't already exist, a proxy object should be created to provide adequate user control of the communication link.
Establish well-defined and well-managed modes. Modes are an important aspect of control system design, and are a key mechanism used in the management of process constraints. Without modes, process constraints must be defined in a one-size-fits-all manner, which is obviously not the ideal case. With modes, however, situational awareness can be integrated into the operation of the process – invoking certain constraints when they are relevant and ignoring them when they are not.

Date of Defense 2011-05-19 Availability unrestricted AbstractAs costs have decreased and both computational complexity and robustness have increased, the use of autonomous vehicles in real-world environments has increased dramatically. The development of a fleet of autonomous surface vehicles able to coordinate their actions through communications provides a significant tool for numerous water-based applications such as the reduction of predatory birds on aquaculture ponds, tracking of pollutant gradients, and water quality mapping applications.
A fleet of three autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) was developed using the best characteristics from earlier designs. Each vehicle is a dual-pontoon, dual-paddlewheel design powered by batteries recharged using a vehicle-mounted solar array that produces a peak output of 30 Watts. The control system consists of two microcontrollers: a TS-7260 ARM-based microcontroller board that handles high-level functions such as navigation, the collection, storage, and analysis of data, and communication; and a BASIC Atom Pro that handles motor control.
A major design goal was modularity. This allows for quick and easy field repairs and upgrades. Communication is essential for fleet success. The dual-microcontroller system in these ASVs has two levels of communication. Intra-ASV communications are handled via serial connections between the ARM and the BASIC Atom Pro on each ASV, whereas inter-ASV communications use XBee Radio Modules with an approximate range of 300 meters. Through the use of relaying, we have an effective range of 600 meters across the fleet of three ASVs. Longer-ranges are possible with other radios. It is desirable to know at all times where the ASV is both with respect to the other ASVs in the fleet and to the data being collected. By collecting and storing GPS coordinates on a regular basis and especially when a sample is taken, we have the ability to map the data being collected. Maps were constructed demonstrating the potential 50-80% reduction in birds.
The development of the fleet of ASVs provides a novel, inexpensive, highly configurable, mobile platform for experimentation. Future research possibilities exist of significant importance including: gradient tracking of pollutants for both point source and non-point source pollutants; coastal applications including salinity mapping and bathymetry mapping; ecosystem monitoring; biosecurity applications; and others.

MORE volunteers are needed to lend a hand at a popular Christchurch museum.
The Red House Museum in Christchurch is appealing for willing volunteers to help out in the museum and shop during the week and on Saturdays.
Ideally the museum in Quay Road needs around six or seven new helpers, with time slots on Saturdays and Thursdays available, although the museum can work around what people are able to commit to.
Stephen Lowy, South West area community curator said the role would include a lot of variety with tasks including front of house, meeting and greeting visitors, selling in the shop and serving in the small cafe on site.
"Obviously the role will also mean keeping an eye on things in the exhibitions and talking to visitors a little bit about them if they have questions," he added.
"During school holidays we run quite a few activities so it would be lovely – not to mention helpful – just to have a few more helping hands."
The Red House Museum is a Grade II listed Georgian workhouse, which was converted into a museum in the 1920s by the antiquarian Herbert Druitt.
As well as ever-changing exhibitions, the museum also displays Christchurch treasures, including Saxon, Bronze and Stone Age finds.
Colin Ridley, 74, from Christchurch, who worked at the museum for around 40 years before becoming a volunteer in the past two years, said: "It is the meeting people aspect of the role, which I really enjoy.
"I love the museum. If it wasn't for this building, then where would the town be?
"It's lovely showing people what we have on offer."
The Red House is open five days a week from Tuesdays to Saturdays.
For more information on how to volunteer contact the museum on 01202 482860.

A llama is loose near the summit of Colorado's Pikes Peak, and a rescue group says it's probably a domesticated escapee that has little chance of surviving in the wild.
The llama was first reported about a month ago and has been ranging between the 13,000-foot level and the 14,110-foot summit. It has ventured to within 30 feet of a cog railway that runs to the top.
Southwest Llama Rescue is coordinating efforts to capture the llama before it falls prey to mountain lions, coyotes or the coming winter.
L'illette Vasquez, Colorado coordinator for the group, says llamas are domesticated livestock and don't have the instincts to survive in the wild.
Neither Vasquez nor Pike National Forest officials know how it got there. They say no one has reported a missing llama.

In a chat with a leading English daily, Yalamanchali Sai Baba, who has produced the devotional film Sri Rama Rajyam earlier, announced that he has signed in K Raghavendra Rao for his next film Intinta Annamayya. The producer says that it will be a message-oriented movie, which deals with the values and works of poet Annamayya in a contemporary story.
His previous production Sri Rama Rajyam has not only done a wonderful collection at the Box Office, but has also been raved by both film critics and viewers. Yalamanchali Sai Baba says that he is more interested in doing message-oriented films than routine commercial potboilers. Now, the director and producer duo is looking out for a leading actor for the male lead in their upcoming flick.
Meanwhile, Yalamanchali Sai Baba is very much encouraged by the response that the Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam dubbed versions of Sri Rama Rajyam have received in South India. The producer has now decided to take it to Hindi knowing viewers in the North. He has planned to dub it in Hindi.

Lead Actor Announced for Hank Williams Biopic
Award-winning actor Tom Hiddleston will play Hank Williams in his upcoming biopic, 'I Saw the Light.'
Hiddleston, best known for his role of Loki in the film, 'The Avengers,' will do his own singing in the movie. Bron Studios, which is producing the film, has secured rights to Williams' catalog, including 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry,' 'Your Cheatin' Heart' and 'Hey Good Lookin'.'
'I Saw the Light' will cover both the country crooner's many successes, including his numerous hit songs and music achievements, as well as his personal struggles, resulting in his death at the age of 29 from heart failure brought on by his addiction to pills and alcohol.
Marc Abraham ('Air Force One,' 'For Love of the Game') will produce the film based on Colin Escott's biography of Williams. James Packer will serve as the executive produce for RatPac Entertainment.
Production is slated to begin in October in Louisiana. No other stars have been announced for the movie.
