Title : Earth Pressure and Ground Shock Profile Measurements.
Descriptive Note : Final rept.,

Report Date : MAY 1969
Pagination or Media Count : 31
Abstract : Stanford Research Institute undertook on Prairie Flat(a 500-ton, spherical, TNT-stacked charge placed tangent to the surface) to document the earth pressure in the hydrodynamic region as a function of time, and to record the shock wave profile as it progressed through the hydrodynamic and plastic regions. Manganin wire, piezoresistive gages were installed to measure earth pressure at seven locations covering a pressure range of 35 kbar to 5 kbar. Three slifer cables were laid at three depths--just beneath the surface, 22 inches below the surface, and 45 inches below the surface, extending from ground zero out to 70-foot range--to record the shock profile. Good records, showing pressures somewhat lower than those predicted, were obtained from the manganin-wire gages. Slifer cable data were more erratic than usual and indicated a shock profile that lagged in time behind the arrival times indicated by the pressure gages and by the one time-of-arrival gage whose output was recorded. The output of the remainder of the time-of-arrival gages was not recorded owing to tape machine failure. (Author)

Bad hoops can still make great tourney
The logo for Pac-10 Tournament sponsor Pacific Life is a whale breaching and flopping, which unwittingly characterizes the league's overall basketball quality this season. Fox Sports has the dubious honor of televising the four-day, nine-game playoff, showcasing a conference that charitably features a few adequate teams, and several fair to bad ones.
Granted, living in Los Angeles I see more West Coast basketball than much of the country, but nothing I've watched in the Pac-10 or elsewhere has changed my mind about a disheartening fact: Thanks primarily to the "one-and-done" rule allowing players to jump to the pros after their freshman year, the skill level of NCAA basketball has been depleted. Too many games are low-scoring, walk-the-ball-up-the-court affairs, with poor shooting and a painful shortage of top-tier big men.
And yet, despite all that, mediocre play won't do a thing to dissuade people from living and dying with (and betting on) every round of the NCAA Tournament. Indeed, the mantra for this year — with the Turner Networks joining CBS as its TV partner — is more teams (an expansion to 68), more games (thanks to cable, every early contest will be televised, at staggered intervals) and more 52-49 barnburners.
March Madness has become a formula for basketball badness — not that you'd know it from listening to most announcers, who can make a 25-24 halftime score (coincidentally, the tally of last week's UCLA-Washington contest on ESPN2) sound like a nail-biting defensive struggle for the ages.
Actually, Washington shot 21 percent in the first half and 36 percent for the game and still won, pretty easily, against the Bruins, in a showdown of the Pac 10's second- and third-place finishers.
Watch enough NCAA hoops, and you'll notice a shocking number of Division I kids can't hit a mid-range jumper and shoot terribly from the free-throw line, but they're ready with a flashy breakaway dunk, hoping to achieve "plays of the day" recognition on "SportsCenter."
Coaches, meanwhile, have grown adept at keeping games close by employing a deliberate, clock-milking style — especially in the tournament — that can neutralize physical and talent advantages. The result: final scores approximating temperatures on an early spring day in New Jersey (think low to mid-50s), or the halftime score for an up-tempo NBA game.
So what keeps the tournament interesting? Beyond its sudden-death, lose-and-go-home elimination format, it's a terrific excuse to gamble — and feel smug when your 14th-seeded long shot upsets a No. 3 in the opening round. There's also enough parity now that teams from schools with funny names can challenge and upset traditional powers, adding to the perceived excitement.
Last year's championship, where Duke held off scrappy Butler 61-59, is a classic example, a tough but not particularly scintillating game in terms of on-court aesthetics, made more interesting by the David vs. Goliath storyline.
Meanwhile, former players turned color analysts — many of whom were top-notch stars in their day — pretend the mediocre basketball is the second coming of Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird. With that in mind, pity the poor souls tasked with exhaustively covering some of these pre-tourney conference playoffs.
Frankly, everyone should be grateful cooler heads prevailed and the NCAA didn't expand to an "Even the ugly stepsisters get invited to the dance" 96-team tournament field, which was seriously discussed.
In a way, since adopting the one-and-done rule six years ago, college basketball has become everything college football and its indecisive Bowl Championship Series isn't. The regular season can be a bit messy (just try watching games in which you have no rooting interest before Valentine's Day), but the playoff format is a structural masterpiece — obscuring how fundamentals are often an afterthought, and how the truly talented players quickly abscond to the NBA.
As a consequence, the NCAA tourney remains a marquee event, even while college hoops becomes the equivalent of a spaghetti western: Some good, some bad, and a whole lot of ugly.

Times have changed, and now punters do not have to sit at the computer all the time to make a bet. Thanks to the smartphone, we now have unlimited access to different mobile betting apps so that we can bet on the go. The bookmakers are always trying to improve their service, and the best mobile betting apps are getting better with each year. You can even watch free live streams of sporting events or bet live on a game through your mobile device. Some bookies go the extra mile and even offer special bonuses for mobile users. Most of the apps are available on different platforms like Android, iPhone, iPad and Blackberry. So you always have a huge choice when selecting the preferred betting application. Still, you need to know all details about the app to make a smart and educated choice. We will show you the best mobile betting apps as well as how they rank among each other because there is always a difference in quality. The best betting apps can be recognised by the range of markets, the number of features and the fact that they are quick to use. Here is a quick ranking of the best betting apps according to us:
|£200 bonus
|Bet365 mobile app
|£25 free bet
|BetVictor mobile app
Paddy Power
|£20 free bet
|Paddy Power mobile app
|£20 free bet
|LadBrokes mobile app
Why is mobile betting so popular?
You have most likely noticed that browsing sites has become more popular on devices. Moreover, that the same type of activity is decreasing on traditional desktop computers. So it makes sense that the same will apply for all kinds of gambling including sports betting.
If you own a smartphone, and I am sure that you do, you are aware of how convenient it is as you can take it everywhere, no matter where you will go. Moreover, the likelihood of you have mobile internet connection there is huge, except if you are in some forest in the middle of nowhere. So the popularity of mobile gambling should not surprise you at all.
The best mobile betting apps, as well as the sites that are optimised for mobile screens in the UK, have come a long way in the last several years. The technology is becoming more advanced and better. Moreover, the speed of the mobile connections is catching up to give you a better experience.
There is no reason for these trends in mobile browsing to stop. So it is clear that wagering on a mobile device is the future, especially if considering how busy people have become. People do not need a large screen like the ones on a laptop to complete a simple task like paying the bills.
What attributes make a mobile betting app great?
We know what matters to you and what you are looking for. So when we review the best mobile betting apps and mobile sites we complete our research by using this criterion! It is not only about usability and quality, there are many more attributes.
We cannot walk you through the entire process, because that will take too much time to read, and most of you will find it boring. So we will explain everything in a nutshell. It will not strike you as one of the most important things, but mobile device compatibility is crucial. Imagine the frustration of a person who finds out that his or her phone or tablet cannot run a specific mobile app. You can keep calm, since the best mobile betting apps that are featured here will spare you those unpleasant situations.
It does not matter if you own the latest iPhone or if you are a die-hard Android fan, the best betting applications will be only several taps away. If you are not into the most mainstream operating systems, you should not be worried since you can place bets on other devices.
If you are an online gambler, you are so used to bonus offers that you are not impressed by them at all anymore. Such promotions are no longer something exceptional, as they have become some norm. It does not matter how lucrative an offer is, it will not surprise you. That is because every bookie offers one. When the bookies released the first applications the bonuses that were available on desktop, were not on mobile. But, this is no longer the case, and there are many high-tech developments since then. For example, some of the best betting sites like 888sport have a game that is like Pokémon Go as it uses the device' GPS to allow you to hunt for free bets.
But, even if all the bonuses in the world combine into one giant one, it will not be enough if an application does not meet your specific needs. The most fundamental one is to be able to bet on sports in a quick manner and without any difficulties or issues. So, this is where the features and navigation come into the picture. It may sound like subjective criteria, but your impression has to be good. But, we at BestBettingApplications.co.uk are not sugar-coating anything. Thus, in each of our reviews, you will find an honest evaluation about every app's advantages and disadvantages.
Is it necessary to download and install software?
So far, the easiest way to wager on your phone or tablet is to access the betting site of the bookmaker on your device's browser. The website detects that you are using a mobile device and it will adapt the page for the screen of the device you are currently using. This procedure does not need to download or install any software, and it is easy and quick. This is not an app, but your experience will be as good as on the desktop version. But, if you want to install the native app, then we recommend you to read our answer to "What if I want to download an app instead of play on the mobile version of the website?"
The precautions that you should consider
You would not trust your hard-earned money on a random website that claims that they are a bank, would you? Of course not. You also would not order products from some shady place that look suspicious. So, it is logical to take the same precautions when it comes to the best betting apps and sites.
We have gathered a small list of points you should follow when trying to find the best mobile betting apps.
- The first thing you always have to check before creating an account with a bookmaker is to search the public register of licencees in the UKGC. Here is a link for your ease. You can search both for the company name or the site name. This lets you know if a specific website is licensed and which activities they can offer you.
- After making sure that the site of your interest has an active license, you should head to the Terms and Conditions page. Usually, there is a link close to the bottom of the page. If you cannot find the T&C's, you should definitely consider this as a warning sign.
- If they sound reasonable to you, but you are still not completely sold on the service, we recommend you to check out several online reviews. You should stray away from reviews that are short and seems more like an ad rather than honest assessment.
- It is always a good idea to use your intuition and common sense. So if you have a bad feeling about a specific site, move on to the next one. There are plenty bookmakers in the UK, so you always have the opportunity to browse around for another option that you will feel better about.
- Online bookmakers that advertise a lot can usually be trusted. It is obvious that have a huge budget, so it is unlikely that they are in any type of financial trouble. Moreover, with such a wide advertising reach, there will be more scrutiny from the regulators and the public. Thus, if they start acting shady, it will become well-known very fast.
- Always keep a copy of your ID or passport ready to go. You will most likely be asked to prove your age, identity and adress before you can withdraw your winnings. This is a safety measure keep minors away from gambling services.
But, even after you take all these precautions, nothing will be guaranteed. You cannot predict the future, and your money might not always be safe. For example, if the service you are using might go out of business.
The UKGC checks each company's financial standing when they apply for a license, but this does not guarantee their future stability. There are safeguards which are in place, though. Like the requirement that the business holds the customer's funds in a bank account which is separate from their operating money.
How do QR codes save you time and efforts?
QR codes started out as a huge phenomenon in Japan and the East. Moreover, their popularity in the UK is growing as well as in Europe. But, you are most likely wondering what QR codes are and why should you even consider using them?
Well, QR is an abbreviation of Quick Response, and it is a 3d barcode. As its name implies, it allows you to scan it and reveal specific information about a service or product. Most companies use it as an instant link to their website, which means that you do not have to type in the URL address anywhere. As we explained the QR code is part of the barcode family. But, the 3D code can contain much more information than the traditional 2D one.
A line barcode cannot contain more than 30 characters since it is used as a unique number that identifies some type of information. It can bring up information like price, type, name and so on. A cool example of this is your mobile device. You can find an IMEI code behind the battery of your tablet or phone as well as on the box it came in. So if you scan the barcode below it, you will see those letters and numbers that are unique for your device.
So now that we got you excited, you are most likely wondering how to read a QR code? Well, you will need a QR reader. These are available for free on every popular model of smartphones.

Frequently Asked Questions
In this section, we have covered some of the questions that customers usually ask us. They are things that you may have a query about that are not covered on this page. If we have not covered your specific question, do not hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You might be surprised to learn that Google does not allow the best mobile betting apps on the app store but Apple does. You are most likely wondering how come? Well, so did we. So we contacted Google and asked them. In their reply, they stated that the company does not allow content or services that promote online gambling. This includes lotteries, online casinos, sports betting or skill games that offer cash prizes.
There is no need to be worried. You can still get all our recommended best mobile betting apps on your device, even if it is an Android one. It will take a few extra taps, but we will walk you through the steps. Here is how you can do that:
You need a device that is running Android 4.0 or higher. You will have to go to Settings, then Security and tap on Unknown Sources. When you select this option, you will be able to install the best mobile betting apps from sources that are different from Google Play.
If your device is running on Android 3.9 or lower, you have to go to Settings, then the Applications options and tap on Unknown Sources. An alert will pop up you have to press on OK.
Then download an app like GetJar and install it and after that find the bookie you are looking for.
We recommend you to return to the settings page and untick the box that states unknown sources.
Companies such as Paddy Power refer the customers who use Android to the GetJar platform. Getjar is an application like Google Play but does not follow the same T&C. What we are saying is that is the app is official you should not worry about safety. But, we recommend you to change your settings back after you install the app.
We also recommend you to avoid paid apps that appear free, since many of them contain some form of malware (malicious software). And yes, this includes the ones found on Google Play. Google authorises submissions of apps without checking them so you might come across rogue apps. And this is a general warning, not just for the best mobile betting apps!
GetJar is an independent app store founded back in 2004, and since then over 15 million people have used it to download over 2.5 billion apps.

The present invention relates to the technical field of radiation detection, and more particularly, to an arm-folding mechanism for use in a vehicle-mounted radiation imaging system.
Security inspection is of great significance in the fields of anti-terrorism and the fight against drug trafficking and smuggling, etc. People have been paying much more attention to security inspection on civil aviation since the U.S. Sep. 11, 2001 attacks. With the comprehensive development of the fight against drug trafficking and smuggling, the requirement for the inspection of air container and railway baggage etc. is much more stringent.
With reference to
The generator cabin 41 is close to the driving cab 42. An accelerator is located at the position of a passage formed by the unfolded vertical detection arm and the main arm frame so as to carry out radiation imaging detection, so the control cabin 40 is close to the accelerator, resulting in a harmful influence of radiation to an operator. The generator cabin 41 is not a human-operating area, so the generator cabin 41 configured to have a low area has no other defects except the complexity in production. However, in order to achieve a certain radiation protection level, the design of the system consequentially makes the control cabin 40 in the status of detection closer to the accelerator so that the walls and top of the control cabin need more anti-radiation materials. Hence, the load of the vehicle-mounted system is increased, the adaptability of the vehicle-mounted system to the vehicle load limitation regulations of each country is reduced, and the cost of production is increased.
When the arm-folding mechanism is in use, the folded arm-folding mechanism firstly needs to be rotated, within a plane that is parallel to the ground surface, about 90� from the vehicle body so that the arm-folding mechanism is substantially perpendicular to the traveling direction of the vehicle, and then the vertical detection arm is rotated downwards about 90� so that the vertical detection arm is substantially perpendicular to the main arm frame as well as the ground surface, as shown in
Embodiments of the present invention provide an arm-folding mechanism usable in a vehicle-mounted radiation imaging system. Positions of a generator cabin and a control cabin are exchanged, thereby protecting the operator from radiation while reducing the use of the anti-radiation material. Meanwhile, the arm-folding mechanism is also advantageous in avoiding limiting the moving space of the operator caused by the occupation of some space to the cabin, so that the operator can comfortably work in the control cabin.
Additionally, it is known by those skilled in the art that the weight of the vehicle-mounted detection system is always an important index restricting its development, and a comparatively lighter vehicle weight and axle load will make it adaptable to requirements of regulations of more countries. The position of the generator cabin is exchanged with the position of the control cabin of the vehicle-mounted detection system by moving the control cabin forward such that the amount of anti-radiation material used in the control cabin is greatly reduced, and therefore, the weight of the control cabin is reduced. However, since the main arm frame occupies some space of the control cabin, a part of the top of the control cabin, after being moved forward, must sink downwards, which causes the moving space of the operator to be diminished and the difficulty in processing the cabin increased. This shortcoming is also overcome by the arm-folding mechanism of the present invention.
In the arm-folding mechanism of the present invention, the control cabin is positioned forward on the condition that the spatial dimension of the control cabin is unchanged, and a part of the top of the control cabin does not need to sink, which reduces the difficulty in processing the equipment room
Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide an improved arm-folding mechanism for use in a vehicle-mounted imaging system with regard to the aforesaid shortcomings in the prior art, the arm-folding mechanism allows a hinged portion of the main arm frame to be located on a higher plane on the top of the control cabin, such that the moving space for the operator is increased to provide a more comfortable environment for the operator. The cost and difficulty of processing the cabin is decreased because the arm-folding mechanism allows the control cabin to be exchanged with the generator cabin without diminishing the dimension of the control cabin such that the anti-radiation material used in the control cabin is greatly reduced and further the on-board weight is lightened.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel arm-folding mechanism that reduces the self weight of a conventional arm-folding mechanism.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved arm-folding mechanism for use in a vehicle-mounted imaging system in order to realize the folding and unfolding of the vertical detection arm in a new manner and ensure the posture of the vertical detection arm when in the status of detection.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an vehicle-mounted imaging system having the arm-folding mechanism of the present invention, where, viewed from the traveling direction of the vehicle, the generator cabin is behind the control cabin which is close to the driving cab, and the top of the control cabin and the top of the generator cabin can be a single plane structure.
The above objects of the present invention are achieved by the technical solutions described below.
In an example embodiment of the present invention, an arm-folding mechanism for use in a vehicle-mounted radiation imaging system is provided. The vehicle includes a vehicle body behind a driving cab. The vehicle body includes a generator cabin and a control cabin. The arm-folding mechanism includes a vertical detection arm, a main arm frame, and a hinged mechanism hingedly connecting the vertical detection arm with the main arm frame. The hinged mechanism includes: a first connection arrangement having a free end and a fixed end fixedly connected with or integral with the main arm frame; a second connection arrangement fixedly connected with the vertical detection arm; and an intermediate arrangement connecting the first connection arrangement with the second connection arrangement so that the vertical detection arm can rotate relative to the main arm frame. The bottom of the first connection arrangement is at the same level as or above the bottom of the main arm frame.
In a preferred example embodiment, viewed from a working position, the first connection arrangement is close to a front side of the main arm frame.
In a preferred example embodiment, the intermediate arrangement includes a subsidiary arm frame and a revolving axle fixedly connected to each other.
In a preferred example embodiment, the subsidiary arm frame includes a fixed flange connected with the vertical detection arm and an axle sleeve fixedly connected with the revolving axle.
In a preferred example embodiment, at an end of the revolving axle of the subsidiary arm frame aligned with the fixed flange is provided a flange for securing the vertical detection arm and a bearing axle carrying the vertical detection arm and embedded in a hole of the end.
In a preferred example embodiment, the axle sleeve can be divided into upper and lower half axle sleeves detachably connected, the upper half axle sleeve being connected with or integral with the body of the subsidiary arm frame, a slot simultaneously being axially arranged on the outer diameter of the revolving axle and having the same length as the axial length of the axle sleeve such that the upper and lower half axle sleeves are embedded in the slot by a fastening arrangement.
In a preferred example embodiment, in a working status, the second connection arrangement is a protruding structure extending from the vertical detection arm to the main arm frame and beyond the width of the vertical detection arm, whereby the size of the detection passage is guaranteed.
An example embodiment of the present invention is directed to a vehicle-mounted radiation imaging system that uses the arm-folding mechanism of the present invention.
In a preferred example embodiment, the control cabin is adjacent to the driving cab, and the generator cabin is behind the control cabin.
In a preferred example embodiment, the top of the control cabin is a flat-top structure, and the space of the control cabin is suitable for operators to operate therein.
Some beneficial effects provided by the example embodiments of the present invention are as follows.
In order to describe the technical solution provided by the present invention more clearly and explicitly, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
"Front" and "back," referred to hereinafter, are terms relative to a forward traveling direction A of the vehicle 600. "Above" and "under" indicate relative positions in a height direction of the vehicle, where the bottom of the vehicle is the side of the vehicle closest to the ground when the vehicle is in a traveling position, and the top of the vehicle is the side of the vehicle furthest from the ground when the vehicle is in a traveling position.
Additionally, in the present description, "left side of the vehicle body" and "right side of the vehicle body" are the left side and right side of a viewer when looking at the vehicle while standing in front of the head of the vehicle when in a stationary state.
The improvement to the first connection arrangement over the prior art can be clearly seen from
An intermediate arrangement 300 as shown in
As can be recognized in
In the vehicle-mounted radiation imaging system 1000 using this kind of arm-folding mechanism 100, the control cabin 40 is preferably moved forward and adjacent to the driving cab 42.

It's very hard to get quality networking, especially in Corporate Malaysia. One of the main reasons is because we take ourselves too seriously, think too narrowly and inability to communicate well. But of course, if you're not any of those things, then you should have no problem networking. Recently, I was invited to attend an SME seminar organised by CIMB Bank at Sheraton Imperial. Noticed that I managed to receive many quality contacts, ie:business cards from bosses of a law firm, audit firm and other companies in various industries. The theme of the seminar is about Feng Shui. Apparently now, the bank is targetting at the Chinese market small medium business segment. The invitation is quite appealing, given the location and the promise of luncheon. Of course now I am on a strict diet, I cannot binge too much on the food, hehe. Below are some tips for aspiring artistes who wants to learn to network well:
|A string of cards I received
Being pretty or attractive is not good enough. It's not how sharp you dress. It's not how good-looking you are in person. It's not even how you carry yourself in public. Seriously, in Malaysia, the rules are different. I notice people don't even take a second look at some of the sharp and well-dressed men and women during the luncheon. So what's the most important thing you must have? An attractive business card that speaks who you are. As for me, it's simple. Given that I have an artiste background, my business card directly portrays who I am. An attractive business card will subconsciously give you the extra confidence.
2. Be selective in approaching people
In a crowd, one must be aware of the thrash from the jewels. Of course, sometimes, you have to throw the ball first and see if it bounces back. Unfortunately, there's more thrash than jewels at the luncheon I attended. You have to be selective in approaching people, because some are simply not good at communicating or not interested in networking at all. Mostly they lack the skills to interact with people, so you must avoid such crowd for the sake of conserving your energy. There are other people around. If he/she responds awkwardly at your gesture, quietly move on to the next person. Thrash is contagious.
|Some artwork with feng shui theme
This technique works well for a seasoned actor. For those who doesn't know what acting is about, you may have a problem applying this step. You should take my Artiste Training Course, because this technique pushes you to total body and mind relaxation. But it does not mean you stay still, but rather you concentrate your energy at your best reflexes and moment. Your whole body and facial expression outwardly, gives you a warm aura that attracts only quality people during networking.
|The seminar talk started with the slide of a fiery dragon
4. Maintain casual topic of conversation
Some people approached me during the luncheon, and immediately they launched onto their sales pitch to me. "My company offers this and this service, and you'll benefit greatly from us" Wrong start. At first meeting, one should always start with a general topic of conversation. The best point to start off is the theme of the seminar. This is because when you have a general point, everyone can contribute into the topic. You also won't offend others who may not be there solely for your business proposition.

During the luncheon, I cannot help but notice so many delicious food being served at the buffet table. One tends to forget the purpose of the luncheon, (and many do) and went walloping the food without a care. Here's when the true artiste should shine - balancing the act of eating and carrying on a casual conversation with your networking partner. You simply cannot eat and talk at the same time! You need to be able to steer the pull of the topic to another direction so you can take a bite of your food, without appearing to act like a glutton. Yes, we are all there to eat too. But the art of appearing not too over eager about the food is just as subtle and important for a quality networking artiste.
6. Connect by Completing Tasks with Others
During the seminar, I had a wonderful learning about the numerology in feng shui. Apparently, all the numbers on my birthdate determines the person I am, and how my future would be. I was given a paper with notes, and I started to calculate all the numbers into a chart format. It gets a bit complicated at times, and I usually involve my networking partner into solving the charts. This is the best and most fulfilling part of the whole networking event, because it brings in teamwork and a sense of purpose where you and your partner can help each other out. I pointed out a mistake my partner made when calculating his birthdate chart. The sign hypen on the chart is not a minus. And remember to be gentle when correcting your networking partner's mistake, you wouldn't want to hurt his feelings. The one who made the mistake is an auditor, but I did it in a way that promotes teamwork, NOT showing off that "I am better than you".
7. Smile and give a genuine but firm farewell
After the seminar, you must remember to smile and give your fellow networking partners a genuine expression of leaving. The truth is, we don't know where or when we might bump into each other again. Forget about those "thrash" you unintentionally met along the way. Pull yourself together and show an expression of honesty that says I'm glad to have known you here, but hopefully we'll meet again someday. You don't have to say the words, but the expression you've shown is what truly matters and captures the heart. That's why as an actor, I have so many networking skills at my disposal, simply because it translates into the actual world of business too.

Atoryo snark is the BEST XD (I love their banter the most, out of every pair in PoT)
sometimes, it makes me wonder how Ryoma could still have his bone intact after being shoved against the wall countless times, lol.

OMG, I super love you right now! It's always nice to see AtoRyo stories. They're my PoT OTP!
I love this one, with all their snarks and all thier bickering. And you're right, they can snark each other all they want and they can still be silly sweet or mega angst.
Now, I'm off to read your other stories! You just totally revived my Royal Pair love!
| hj-dm-sk chapter 1 . 4/22/2012
You have no idea how hard it was for me to resist reading this piece until I had a bit of a breather from school/work, but at least it gave me something to look forward to at the end of the week :)
Great job again, as usual, and yes, I agree, Ryoma and Keigo will be snarking at each other until the end of time - it's basically their version of flirting/foreplay. I think my single favorite part in this story is when Keigo goes from sucking up to Ryoma with "Echizen, love, there's a wonderful sushi place" to "Fine, you utter brat, go ahead and rob away my credit cards" in the span of about two lines.
Also, oh, geez, poor Momo. The dude walks in on Ryoma and Keigo cuddling, and *still* doesn't figure out that they're shacking up with each other until the end? The power of denial is indeed impressive.
Lastly, just a tiny bit of concrit - I noticed a couple of typos/grammar mistakes this time. Don't worry, it's just small stuff, like mistyping "Keigo" as "Kegio," or using "trapped in" instead of "trapped by," but if you ever want a proofreader for your future works, just let me know. I'm way too lazy and un-creative to be an actual writer, but I'm pretty good at being a grammar Nazi (if you want one).
| EchizenRyomaLover chapter 1 . 4/22/2012
Now you and I definitely agree on why we love AtoRyo. XD The way you wrote the bantering was just perfect. I can't help but feel like a teasing Fuji right now! XD
| kuroikuu chapter 1 . 4/21/2012
I don't know where to begin to describe my love for this assemble of royalty. It's the sweetest thing I've read in a while, that I just had to read it all over again and again. Its just amazing how compatibly well Keigo and Ryoma are together, whether it's angst or humor, there will always be some touch of romance in between. I am in love with their royal snarky love. DD
| Orcux chapter 1 . 4/21/2012
Lovely, wonderfully sweet and hilarious Atoryo! :D
I don't know why, but I really LOVED the part where Atobe was trying to bribe Ryoma into helping him. xD And the part where they had to explain to Ryoma's team mates. Oh, that was too funny! I was passing my rather bad day with a stony expression on my face but this story made me smile several times. Thanks for the mood-booster! Love em fluff. :D
Thanks for sharing this with us~

Domaine Mirabau, Cotes du Rousillon
Well balanced & rounded; a blend of Grenache and Syrah which offers plenty of fruit with finesse. Warm up a winter dinner with fleshy fruits and the perfect balance for food. Made by Daniel and Guy Ferrer in the village of Terrats which lies south of Perpignan near the border with Spain. Domaine Mirabau is on terraces overlooking the left bank of the Canterrane river, with soils based on schist and quartz.
The name of the property comes from Mirar: to see and bau: nice; referring to the nice view that you have from the estate. An interesting legend has it that there was on the site of Terrats a city named Mirmanda, older than Barcelona, which was the land of fairies before being destroyed by a sharp rise of the sea waters (we can't verify this, but can confirm the wine is delicious).

1. Introduction
1.1. Background
[2] Sea ice plays a key role both in the Arctic and in the global climate system. Snow covered sea ice with a high albedo reflects most of the incoming solar radiation in contrast to an ice-free ocean surface. Sea ice strongly reduces heat fluxes between atmosphere and ocean, and contributes to the freshwater transport and water mass exchange between ocean areas. In addition to its active role in the climate system, sea ice is an important climate indicator. The decrease in Arctic sea ice extent since the end of the 1970s [e.g. Richter-Menge et al., 2006; Lemke et al., 2007; Meier et al., 2007] is commonly seen as a clear sign for climate change [e.g. Berner et al., 2005; Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007]. Several studies also suggest a reduction in sea ice thickness [Rothrock et al., 1999; Laxon et al., 2003; Haas, 2004]. About half of the leading climate model scenarios show an ice-free summer in the Arctic within the current century, some as early as 2040 [Winton, 2006; Stroeve et al., 2007; Serreze et al., 2007]. However, continuous ice extent data from remote sensing are available only since 1978 and Arctic sea ice thickness datasets are sparse. Long-term data of landfast sea ice exist from sites in Alaska (USA) and Arctic Canada [e.g. Brown and Cote, 1992; Bilello and Lunardini, 1996; Melling, 2002] and from Siberia (Russia) [Polyakov et al., 2002]. Little long-term fast ice thickness from the European Arctic is published, mostly from recent activities [Gerland and Hall, 2006; Gerland and Renner, 2007]. In this paper we present data from fast ice monitoring at the shore of the island of Hopen in the northwestern Barents Sea, one of the Eurasian shelf seas of the Arctic Ocean.
1.2. Geographical and Oceanographical Setting
[3] Part of the Svalbard archipelago, the narrow island of Hopen is 29 km long and between 0.5 and 2 km wide (Figure 1). The annual mean surface air temperature (SAT) measured at the Hopen meteorological station during 1966–2007 is −5.56°C, the annual mean surface water temperature (SWT), measured at the shore near the station while there was no fast ice, is +1.62°C (1972–2007). Hopen is located on top of Spitsbergenbanken, a shallow, less than 100 m deep bank stretching to Bjørnøya in the South West on the colder side of the Polar Front [Loeng, 1991]. The area around Hopen is very dynamic with different water masses circulating and mixing forced by wind, tides, and density-differences [Sundfjord et al., 2007]. Warm water of the North Atlantic Current (NAC) enters the Barents Sea from the south while another branch of the NAC follows the shelf break in the northeast Atlantic northward as the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) and recirculates in the Barents Sea from the Arctic Basin. The pathways of the currents are strongly influenced by the seafloor topography [Pfirman et al., 1994; Gawarkiewicz and Plueddemann, 1995; Steele et al., 1995; Løyning, 2001].
1.3. Sea Ice in the Barents Sea
[4] The sea ice in the Barents Sea is predominantly seasonal ice, but multi-year ice is regularly advected from the Arctic Basin. The marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the Western Barents Sea extends south to 75°–78° N in early spring and retreats to about 80°–82° N in late summer, with a trend to higher latitudes during the last 10 years [Løset and Carstens, 1996; Tronstad et al., 2007]. The sea ice extent in the Barents Sea shows high interannual variability, overlaying a negative trend in summer ice extent 1966–1988 [Vinje and Kvambekk, 1991]. Vinje [2001] found a decrease of sea ice extent in the Barents Sea when including older data back to 1864. Notably, the Barents Sea is the area in the Arctic with the largest reductions in sea ice extent observed in 1979–2006 [Meier et al., 2007] and with the highest increases in SAT projected in climate models for the Arctic [Christensen et al., 2007].
[5] Little is published on the thickness of Barents Sea sea ice. Abrahamsen et al. [2006] present a pack ice draft time series, recording from November 1994 to November 1996 from an upward-looking sonar equipped mooring northeast of Hopen; monthly means of ice draft for the two seasons covered in these observations vary strongly, indicating influence of dynamical processes and possible advection of multi-year ice. Process studies in the MIZ of the Barents Sea show that the ice edge can change over short periods of time during spring [e.g. Ivanov et al., 2003]. From drill hole ice thickness measurements on a smaller number of ice stations (80 drillings) in the MIZ in May 1999, a modal ice thickness of 0.75 m was found, representing first-year ice, comparable to thicknesses in Svalbard fjords [Gerland and Hall, 2006; S. Gerland, unpublished data, 2008].

Could you have Hypothyroidism?
We know that Hypothyroidism affects about one million British women, with Hashimoto's (where the immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid) being the cause in about 10% of these cases.
We are sure of this figure because that relates to the number of prescriptions but there's also a pool of people who do not yet know they've got it…
The condition occurs especially between the ages of 30 and 50, but may be seen in any age group, including children. Hypothyroidism is ten times more common in women than men and although it is not fully understood why, it probably has to do with the interplay between female reproductive hormones – particularly oestrogen and progesterone – and thyroid hormones
This is why menopausal women are often affected. It's also commonly first seen after pregnancy because of changes to a woman's immune system at that time.
The condition is often not picked up because the symptoms of an underactive thyroid are similar to other common ailments the condition. Diagnosed patients often retrospectively recall underactive thyroid symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Some hair loss
- Mood swings
- Dry skin
- Constipation
- Loss of intellectual power
- Puffy face and eyes
- And excessive weight gain despite exercise and diet
In fact many may soldier on with all these and won't go to the doctor – indeed some may do so for 10 or even 20 years - but if you are experiencing several of these symptoms it's really important to do so. A simple blood test via your GP will check your thyroid health.
