Zitotec (Misoprostol) Tablets
Zitotec (Misoprostol) Tablets
Active ingredients- Each uncoated Zitotec tablet contains misoprostol 25 mcg, 100 mcg or 200 mcg.
Clinical Pharmacology
Zitotec (Misoprostol) is an orally used active artificial prostaglandin E, analogue.
Mechanism of Action
Prostaglandin E, imbibes myomeirial contractions by reacting with definite receptors on myometrial groups. This combination results an alteration in calcium absorption, thereby instigating muscle tightening. By working together with prostaglandin receptors, Zitotec (Misoprostol) imbibes the cervix to mitigate and uterus to tighten, ensuing in the eviction of the uterine contents.
Zitotec (Misoprostol) is broadly absorbed and experiences quick de-esterification to its liberated acid, which is accountable for its mechanism of action and, contrasting the parent composite, is measurable in plasma. The beta side chain experiences omega -oxidation and the alpha side chain experiences beta oxidation trailed by decrease of the ketone to provide prostaglandin F analogues.
The substance is a lipophilic methyl ester pro-drug and is voluntarily broken down to its organically active structure. In regular patients, Zitotec (Misoprostol) is quickly absorbed by the body after oral intake with a Tmax of misoprostol acid of 12 ± 3 minutes and a fatal half-life of 20-40 minutes.
After single use of Zitotec (Misoprostol), a linear connection with dose over and above the range of 200-400 mcg has been confirmed. No accretion of misoprostol acid was observed in numerous dose researches. Stable state plasma levels are attained within two days.
Utmost plasma absorption of misoprostol acid is reduced when the drug is administered with food and total accessibility of misoprostol acid is decreased by the intake of concomitant antacid. The serum protein fastening of misoprostol acid is lower than 90% and this binding is autonomous of the absorption of misoprostol.
After oral intake of radiolabeled misoprostol, about 80% of perceived radioactivity emerges in urine.
In patients over 64, the AUC for misoprostol acid is amplified. No schedule quantity alteration is suggested in elderly patients or patients suffering from renal ailments, but uses may need to be decreased if the normal dose is not accepted.
After vaginal uses, the plasma absorption steadily amplified, attaining highest levels after 70-80 minutes and gradually reduced with noticeable levels abter about 6 hours. Vaginal misoprostol was used for longer than oral misoprostol and thus its length of spurring of the uterus crosses that of oral misoprostol.

It is the primary responsibility of the Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute persons charged with felony offenses that occur anywhere within Montgomery County. Through the Criminal Division, the Prosecutor's Office annually reviews over 6,000 cases submitted for filing as felonies by the various law enforcement agencies. The Criminal Division consists of four trial teams; an intake section, which handles all preliminary hearing and grand jury matters; as well as a Violent Crimes Bureau.
The Violent Crimes Bureau was established in January, 1993., to target and fast track the most serious and dangerous offenders. Due to the serious nature and circumstances of felony cases, and the obvious importance and impact crime has on all citizens, the Criminal Division is the most visible division of the office.
Part of the Criminal Division, the Criminal Non-Support Unit gathers evidence and oversees the filing of felony charges against parents who refuse to pay court-ordered child support.
Child support in the amount of $5,284,515.96 has been collected from the Unit's caseload during the last five calendar years, 2003 through 2007.
During the same time period, prison sentences have been imposed in 313 of the unit's cases, usually after continued refusal to pay child support.

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Friday, Nov 20,2009 7:42 AM
According to the latest traffic estimates on Alexa.com, trafficestimate.com and Google Trends, carwale.com is the most visited Indian car portal. As per Alexa.com's 'Traffic Rank in India', CarWale features amongst the Top 200 websites (Ranked 191). With over 1.6 million visitors over the last 30 days as per trafficestimates.com, it is seen as the most visited Indian car portal.
Only recently, SkodaAuto India announced the launch of its 'Fabia online sales project' in association with CarWale.com. It may be recalled that CarWale was the only car portal which offered online booking of Nano during its launch.
The car portal also claims that at least three of the car manufacturers spend around 30-50 per cent of their online budget on Carwale.com alone. While the year 2009 has been very good for CarWale and the portal is expecting 100 per cent revenue growth over the last year, it is also estimated to make some marginal loses primarily because of the investments made. While the year 2008 saw the website accelerate in terms of growth, the year 2009 has seen CarWale further consolidate its market position. Carwale.com expects to break even in Q3 of FY10, and is eyeing a profitable year in 2010.
In conversation with exchange4media, Mohit Dubey, CEO, Automotive Exchange Pvt Ltd, said, "Over the last two quarters, we were able to create product and build client relationships to be able to monetise our traffic, we were also able to sign long term contract with a couple of manufacturers."
He further said, "We have been able to establish ourselves as thought leader in terms of who understands consumer insight, what's happening on the ground and where this industry is headed, etc. We could do this very effectively as CarWale goes beyond a research portal, we handhold a customer throughout their car transactions."
CarWale had re-launched the portal a few months back with a new design aiming to position itself as an auto portal that attracts not only a country's largest used car listing but also the preferred destination for research and information related to new cars.
According to Dubey, "The advantage of CarWale is its ability to attract the buyer or seller for new and used car, and in a way we are becoming a market place, and this has the potential to change the way cars are retailed in this country."
This apart, CarWale is ready with its mobile site and plans to launch it in December 2009. "Increasingly, India is reaching a critical mass for broadband. In fact, in six months we may have PC or laptops for even less than Rs 10,000, which will further fuel growth of web users. Today, 25 per cent of people who buy car come online, and we expect this to grow to 50 per cent in less than two years," concluded Dubey.

Transaction highlights include:
•Average working interest of approximately 15.24% (12.07% net revenue interest) in the Carpe Diem field (2,586 gross acres), increasing Callon's working interest to approximately 100.00% (79.19% net revenue interest)
•Average working interest of approximately 3.75% (2.81% net revenue interest) in the Casselman-Bohannon fields (6,238 gross acres), increasing Callon's working interest to approximately 66.45% (49.83% net revenue interest)
•628 net surface acres, predominantly in Midland and Andrews Counties, Texas
•Estimated net daily production of 360 Boe/d (84% oil) for the month of October 2015
Following the Company's recent operational shift to focus exclusively on the Central Midland Basin, Callon has dedicated both of its two horizontal rigs to this area. The Company plans to direct approximately 80% of its preliminary 2016 operational capital program to the Carpe Diem and Casselman-Bohannon fields. Callon estimates that the 360 Boe/d of current net daily production acquired will increase at a similar rate as the Company's preliminary forecast of approximately 20% annual growth in 2016 for total Company production volumes.

Author Tags: Aboriginal Authors, Alcohol, Downtown Eastside, Fiction
Aboriginal lawyer Jesse Crowchild is a recovering alcoholic dealing with the death of his son and separation from his wife at the outset of Frank LaRues first mystery novel, Innocent Until Proven Indian (Vancouver: Totem Pole Books $21). After a realtor is found dead in a Vancouver hotel room, Crowchild discovers his best defence for the accused Jimmy Greyeyes is to find the perpetrators of the crime. Greyeyes had a confrontation with the murdered realtor only hours before he was killed, and his fingerprints are on the murder weapon, but Crowchild believes his client is innocent. Greyeyes sister was once raped by the murder victim and two of his companions, circumstantial evidence that encourages police to simplify the case. LaRue, who has written for Aboriginal publications such First Nations Drum since the early 1980s, was inspired to write Innocent Until Proven Indian after reading a heart-wrenching letter that describes a rape similar to one that serves as a backdrop to the novel.
Frank LaRue's second mystery novel, Finding Carrie George (Totem Pole, 2009, $18.95), follows private investigator Mike Morningstar, after 15 years with the RCMP, as he tries to track down an Aboriginal girl and former high school honour student who got lost in the world of prostitution and drug abuse in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Vancouver police refuse to admit a serial killer could responsible for the disappearances of women. The investigation takes Morningstar to Winnipeg where he finds clues within that city's sex trade. 978-0-9735840-3-5

Group wars in Nandyal in the recent past reminds us of factionism in Anantapur district. The reason behind clashes in municipal council meeting and call for Nandyal bandh on Saturday is just an attempt to showcase the domination of two groups led by Sitting MLA Bhuma Nagireddy and Former Minister Shilpa Mohan Reddy.
In 2014 Polls, Bhuma Nagireddy defeated Sitting MLA Shilpa Mohan Reddy who is Nadhyal's strongman and also served as minister during YSR's regime. Issues like Road Widening and Demolishing Illegal Constructions have led to clashes between Bhuma and Shilpa Groups in council meeting. Several TDP Leaders and Workers have been injured in these attacks. Non-Bailable warrant has been issued against Bhuma Nagireddy and the legislator even surrendered before the police following stern warning. These group wars established political rivalry between two influential political families in Nandyal.

Strode House
Coordinates: 33°11′9.65″N 87°30′2.78″W / 33.1860139°N 87.5007722°W The Strode Mansion is the former residence of Hudson Strode.[1] The residence includes the main house, a small caretaker's cabin, and a separate writing studio, as well as 27 acres (110,000 m2) of woodland. The Strodes bequeathed their residence to the University of Alabama's Department of English. The property is located at 49 Cherokee Road, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The home was designated a historic landmark by the Alabama Historical Association in 1987.[1] These days, it is usually occupied by the director of the Hudson Strode Program in Renaissance Studies.[2] In the past, it was assigned to notable visiting faculty.
The caretaker's cabin ("Strode's Cabin") is occupied by a student from the University's Master of Fine Arts program.[3]
Notable occupants[edit]
One notable occupant was writer and teacher Richard Yates,[4] a chain-smoker notorious for the way he "trashed the Strode House" with his four-pack a day habit.[5]

Divine Dissatisfaction: Preparing The Remnant For A Righteous Revolution!
God is preparing a remnant of truly overcomers for a righteous revolution! The Spirit of God has been fanning the flame of discontentment within the hearts of the saints causing them to feel a deep dissatisfaction with mere powerless religious actions. There can be no true revolution with contented people! What you feel within your spirit is a divine disturbance driving you to seek God on a deeper level (see Isaiah 44:3-4).
The Secret Place
This is a season of seeking the secret place (see Psalm 91:1)! First, let's discover more understanding concerning the importance of seeking the secret place. Never forget the secret place is not a location but the holy presence. It is very important to understand that we are not seeking a place but rather a person. The saints of God discover that true intimacy is stirred in the secret place of the Most High, a desire not merely for power but for His living presence.
Deep Calling unto Deep
The first step toward the "secret place of the Most High" (Psalm 91:1) begins with a desperate, hungry heart (see Matthew 5:8). This longing draws us to seek true, deep intimacy with Christ. One can hear the cry of David's longing heart in Psalm 42:7, "Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me."
Beloved, now is the time to go deeper into the Word of God in order to go higher with the Lord. We must avail ourselves of the Sword of the Spirit to battle against the spirit of fear and doubt. The Spirit of God has stirred this desire! None will be satisfied with a stagnated life. He has been fanning the flame of discontentment within the hearts of God's people, resulting in a deep hunger for not merely the power of God but the abiding presence of God (see Psalm 15:1).
To advance the pathway into Psalms 15:1 it is Psalm 51:1, this deals with the need for a clean upright heart (see Psalm 51:10). Only with a clean pure heart will we dare approach God (see Psalm 24:3-4). We must never forget; "the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart" (see 2 Corinthians 7:1).
David's Burning Desire
Many in our day can relate with the hungry heart of David as he pens the Psalms. These love poems to God are filled with the heart-cry of a man seeking for a deep, personal relationship with the Lord Himself. Again and again, David expresses a burning desire to intimately know the Lord on several levels of experience. First, he desires to know the Lord face to face. In this regard, I so appreciate the Message Bible in Psalm 63:1-4:
"God—you're my God! I can't get enough of you! I've worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts. So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,
drinking in your strength and glory. In your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless you every time I take a breath; My arms wave like banners of praise to you."
This desperate hunger is again stated in Psalm 42:1-2:
"As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?"
David's Repentance
David has gained the knowledge that he cannot find the soul satisfaction and fulfillment that he deeply desires from other relationships. He now desires to know the Lord as a Person with whom he can share times of intimate fellowship. When he fell short of this experience, David repented before the Lord.
"I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and You forgave the iniquity of my sin." Psalm 32:5
Now, after coming clean with God, David is free from all guilt and condemnation and he can say from within the depth of his being:
"You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance." Psalm 32:7
David has come to understand that only the Lord can satisfy the longing of his soul. He has completely abandoned himself to the Lord as his "hiding place." With open arms the Lord awaits your return to Him. He is ready and willing to forgive and restore all who turn to Him. He will take the yoke of sin and shame and give you abiding peace and the marvelous joy of His presence (see Psalm 16:11).
David's Trust
As a result of this deep, heart rending repentance, David then desires to know the Lord as one in whom he can place infinite trust. In Psalm 56:11, David the Psalmist writes: "In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what can man do to me?"
There is a bold clarity in the expression of David's trust and expectancy in these words as they flow out from a heart of love, appreciation, and worship. With clean hands and a pure heart David discovers he has been brought into a new level of intimacy with God, the Lord spoke to him and imparted this very encouraging promise:
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you." Psalm 32:8-9
David's repentance has brought him into such an intimate closeness to the Lord ("I will guide you with My eye"), that David is able to sense the desire of the Lord concerning him, apart from words being spoken. Seeking to take David even further into true intimacy, the Lord exhorts him to be both responsive and obedient: "Do not be like the horse or like the mule." As followers of Christ we should not be self-willed, like a horse, nor should we be stubborn like the mule. Our goal is to become easy to lead, swift to obey. Desiring to fully follow the Lamb wherever He will lead.
Unwavering Desire and Focus
We also desperately need this same clarity of Spirit-led protection and guidance that David experienced. As world pressures and religious confusion increase, we must heed this exhortation in the Word to unconditionally make the Lord our portion, He alone is our impenetrable rock, and refuge (see Psalm 59:16-17)!
Psalm 91 promises deliverance and victory in the time of trouble to those abiding in God's presence. "He that dwells in the secret place of The Most High." This "secret place" is a place "set apart" where we can withdraw from the activities of our everyday life experience. Here, we will be able to clearly hear with our spiritual ears, and then appropriate His Words into our spirit and digest them until they become a personal reality within us. Only as we learn to act upon the Word of God does our life start to transform and true change occurs (see James1:22).
There are many distracting influences that seek to draw us away from a sincere devotion to the Lord. These forces have absolutely no power or control over us, unless we allow them to do so. There must be within each of us an active resistance to anything that will hinder our times of fellowship with the Lord. It is when we resist the devil that he takes flight from us (see James 4:7).
The Lord will not override our will, He will urge us and prompt and provoke us but the choice must be from our heart. He will guide us, but we are given the freedom to choose our level of response to Him in every area of our life encounter. We must abide continually in an attitude of choosing to respond to His wooing our hearts into this place of "a secret abode of intimacy with Him."
The foe of our soul will do all he can to distract us away from our quest for the secret place. The enemy's strategies that pull away from this secret place are many and manifold: there continually lurks in the shadows the desire for success, recognition and earthly security against what might happen. If allowed, these things will step forward to obscure Jesus. Our goal is to truly seek first the Kingdom of God (see Matthew 6:33). As this becomes our quest then everything else will find it's proper place in our life.
We easily forget His promise in John 16:33, "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Here, Jesus is saying, "Do not fear, in Me you will have peace." He has promised to care for us, for He is our Good Shepherd. As we have need, we can freely partake of all that He won on the Cross in our behalf (see Romans 8:32-37)!
Set Our Affections Above
If we are not receiving His care and protection, we have either chosen the wrong dwelling place or we have set our affection on something or someone other than Christ Jesus, our King. When this happens, He patiently waits, ready to help us when we finally turn to Him.
His "word" to us is that we enter into "the secret place" where He dwells and then make this our real, experienced home. David erected a tent on Mount Zion for God to dwell in, but David's heart became the Lord's abode. The Lord promises to reward those who seek Him. This reward is God Himself. Nothing can compare to this eternal treasure!
Super Victorious
In Romans 8:28, we are presented with exhortations, promises, and the marvelous word that "all things work together for good to them that love God" (to those who make Him their secret abode). Then comes the encouraging words, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" The answer to this question is extremely clear in Romans 8:37 amid all that the foe can send our way in Christ Jesus we are super victorious.
Victory is guaranteed, as we put our trust completely in Christ Jesus and seek this place of rest in His presence (see Psalm 16:11). As we do this, we will be eternally grateful and satisfied (see Philippians 4:6-8)!
Abiding in Christ's presence produces the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Man at His Best
Formula E heats up
Electric cars are still viewed with suspicion, but Formula E wants to change all that. Just one question: what the hell is Formula E?
BY WAYNE CHEONG | Jan 1, 2016 | Automotive
Inventions are often inspired by the natural world. We saw fowls take flight, so we came up with aeroplanes. We saw bones break beneath the jaws of beasts, so we hobbled together pneumatic pumps and weights. We saw an evergreen forest, branches spreading far and wide, so we conjured up shelter to shield us from the elements. But the wheel, arguably modern history's biggest game changer, does not have an equivalent in nature.
The wheel, as we know it today, did not originally function as a method for transportation. Archaeological digs have uncovered ancient texts detailing the invention of the potter's wheel by the Sumerians shortly after 3,500 BC. With enough speed in its spin, potters could perform a new pottery-making technique known as "throw-ing" (a lump of clay placed centrally on the wheel is squeezed, lifted and shaped as the wheel is turned) on a cylinder that was connected to a stable, stationary platform. Then, someone figured out that you could roll the cylinder on its edge 300 years later. Now it could be used for transportation: sand, food, human beings, etc.
Like the wheel, the world continues to turn un-bidden; each revolution is an era of discovery of either wonder or despair.
I only found out about Formula E a month before arriving in Beijing for the big race. Conceived by Jean Todt, former racecar driver and President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)—the same group that oversees a little-known racing event called Formula One—Formula E was the answer to sustainability in racing.
The first Formula E race was held in Beijing in 2014. Yes, that Beijing—the same one that was issued its first red alert as its pollution levels reached toxic heights, where a local performance artist vacuums microscopic particles from the air and creates bricks out of it. This is the place where even its own mayor once proclaimed that "Beijing is not a liveable city" thanks to its pollution.
While FIA's official statement said that it chose Beijing and the other nine city-centres, including Putrajaya and Monte Carlo, because "cities are the natural environment for electric cars and that racing in urban environments will best promote the use, and popularity, of these vehicles", holding its inaugural emission-free race in Beijing is FIA's way of throwing down the gauntlet.
But on this rare October morning, the sky is clear and cloudless. In fact, after the haze in Singapore, this is a welcome moment. As we take in the expanse of blue that fills the Beijing skies, we make our way from the InterContinental Beijing Beichen Hotel to the Olympic Green next to the Beijing National Stadium—a hulking, porous "bird's nest" with its steel beams wrapped about itself like contortionist lovers—that sits languorously as a reminder of the 2008 Olympics. While the interior is as hollow as a mausoleum, its grounds are a bustle of activity: tourists take pictures; a bevy of elderly women practise tai chi; and booths promote the latest in green transportation (one of which is the China-made Tsinova smart electric bicycle that helps propel you further as you pedal).
What looks like the beginning of a line forms near the entrance to Formula E. We circumvent the queue as guests of the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Rewards Club, which is one of Mahindra Racing's many sponsors in Formula E. This partnership afforded IHG Rewards Club's valued members an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at Formula E, Mahindra Racing and the team's drivers. In fact, the previous evening, we got to hobnob with Mahindra Racing drivers, Bruno Senna and Nick Heidfeld, who gamely posed for pictures with some of the eager IHG Rewards Club members. If there were any mis-givings about the following day's race, they didn't show it.
Senna has to deal with the legacy of his uncle, Ayrton. While an accomplished driver, he has to consistently outrace the long shadow of the F1 legend and achieve victory on his own terms. For Heidfeld, a collision during the race in Beijing last season seems to play heavily on his mind. In his final lap, just before the final corner, he edged to the rear wing of Nicolas Prost's e.dams-Renault. Pulling out from the slipstream, Heidfeld looked poise to overtake Prost, both cars were neck-to-neck, vying for first place. Then, to defend his position, Prost steered and clipped Heidfeld's car. Heidfeld's front-right suspension broke, his car skidded, and upon hitting the kerb, was launched into the air, turning and twisting before landing upside down. Everyone assumed the worse but miraculously, Heidfeld crawled out from underneath the wreckage, unharmed but rueful that pole position was snatched from him.
You can't help but wonder about the churning waters beneath the calm surface of smiles.
When Formula E started in 2014, in the interest of fair play, all 10 teams were required to use the same single-seater model (Spark-Renault SRT_01E) designed and constructed by Spark Racing Technology. With shared 150kw batteries from Williams Advanced Engineering and a Dallara chassis—everything basically aside from the livery—it all boils down to the expertise of the drivers to clinch gold. With a top speed of around 150mph and acceleration from zero to 60 in three seconds, the Formula E cars are quick, but understandably not as fast as their Formula One counterparts. There is also the marked difference in sound. It's sort of like a high-pitched buzzing—not unlike a swarm of irate hornets trapped under the hood.
The second season is where things get interesting. Formula E was always meant to be an "open championship", where car manufacturers and constructors are allowed to innovate within FIA's guidelines. This season, the e-motor, the inverter, the gearbox and the cooling system can be tinkered with. The battery and the chassis must remain untouched. It is hoped that advancements on the racetrack will benefit the electric vehicle market in general.
Despite all the good intentions that Elon Musk has with Tesla Motors, electric cars still have to shake off the perception that they are slow, ex-pensive lemons. I mean, sure they have come a long way, but public opinion on electric cars leans heavily towards non-purchase. According to a 30-month test bed by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Energy Market Authority conducted between 2011 and 2013, results show that participants were concerned about the price of Electric Vehicles (EV). Your average EV can cost three times as much as a car that runs on petrol.
It was also found that the impact of charging EVs on Singapore's electricity grid was insignificant. Joint studies by Technische Universität München in Germany and Nanyang Technological University showed that if every family has an EV, there would be a 4.8 percent daily load in-crease on the power system.
But that's always the case with new tech. It's classic economies of scale: EV prices will fall as long as there's a significant amount of EVs being sold, but pit that against a bulwark of scepticism and the turn of progress can be painfully slow. Case in point: Formula E. People were quick to judge that compared to its distant twice-removed cousin, Formula One, the green-friendly sport will eventually lose traction, but that's like comparing oranges to apples.
"If you're an old gearhead and can't stand the idea of electric formula cars, that's okay; Formula E wasn't created with you in mind."
Sam Bird, who drives for Virgin Racing, says that it wouldn't be fair to both Formula E and Formula One championships, if you were to compare the two. Roger Griffiths, the FIA's Director of Motorsport Development, said in an interview with Racer: "If you're an old gearhead and can't stand the idea of electric formula cars, that's okay; Formula E wasn't created with you in mind."
It's cyclical, really. Before internal combustion engines, there were electric motors. The late 19th century was the heyday for electric cars, but then leaps were made in internal combustion tech that quickly overshadowed electric cars.
Now that revolution has reached full circle: with the depletion of fossil fuels and rising environmental concerns, the world's focus is trained on an alternative energy source, namely electric. Dilbagh Gill, Team Principal of Mahindra Racing, believes that the tipping point will happen in the next 12 years.
With the backing of star power (Leonardo Di-Caprio is a co-founder of the Venturi Formula E team; notable ex-Formula One drivers like Lucas di Grassi, Bruno Senna and Sébastien Buemi are participating in Formula E), the appeal to young-er fans (the most notable gimmick is FanBoost, where fans can vote online for their top three drivers that will allow them to get a five-second power surge of 30kw) and the idea of having a platform for the automobile industry to develop new green tech are agreeable.
Mahindra Reva is a subsidiary of India's largest automobile manufacturer, Mahindra & Mahindra, and its main goal is to make and ad-vance electric vehicles. When regulations eased to allow the developments of powertrains, they jumped on it. "Given that this is a new motor-sport, naturally, there will be naysayers," Gill avers, "There is no sound from the engines, it's not a real racing sport, but with what we've done over the last year, I've noticed that there's a new demographic coming in."
It's a more family-oriented one. If Formula One speaks to a mostly male demographic, For-mula E is for everyone; because if this were to take off, there needs to be a new generation that gives a damn.
Nestled within the hospitality area called EMOTION (geddit?), a crowd swells under the comfort of air-conditioning as eyeballs are glued to a big screen TV, when the race begins. I've al-ways figured that in order to popularise a sport like e-racing, you need to make it sexy. Other than Heidfeld's collision in last season's race, can this season recreate that excitement?
While Formula E cars can hit speeds of 225kmh, the current battery can't store enough power for the entirety of the one-hour race. A bigger battery will hold more juice, but it'll add weight to the car; that's why the drivers have to slide into the pit stop to switch cars in the middle of a race. Detractors might see this swap as a disruption to the tournament, but it just spurs the quest to invent a better battery.
This process, however, throws a spanner in the works. Driving in Mahindra's new M2Electro car, Heidfeld and Senna enter the pit stop, but have issues with fastening into their second vehicles. This causes Senna to drop from P7 to P13 and Heidfeld from P3 to P4. As Heidfeld zooms out from the pit lane so does Prost, with the former trailing behind the latter. At lap 14, Heidfeld overtakes Prost, but the race slows for Full Course Yellow (a caution system introduced in the current season) as Team Agguri's António Félix da Costa, in correcting his motor map set-ting on his steering wheel, collides with Venturi's Jacques Villeneuve.
As the vehicles are removed from the track, the caution flag switches to green and Prost takes the opportunity to cut in front of Heidfeld. Zooming down the line, the two men look poised for a re-peat of Heidfeld's historical crash, but Prost gains enough lead, leaving no hope for Heidfeld to catch up. Then, in lap 20, Prost's right-rear wing support breaks. While it doesn't hinder his speed, Prost is flagged off to the pit nonetheless, as the condition of his car is considered a safety issue.
Heidfeld now takes P3, but he's still not out of the fire. He needs to maintain his position as the Dragon Racing drivers, Loïc Duval and Jérôme d'Ambrosio, creep up on Heidfeld.
Heidfeld now takes P3, but he's still not out of the fire. He needs to maintain his position as the Dragon Racing drivers, Loïc Duval and Jérôme d'Ambrosio, creep up on Heidfeld. "He's got a double dragon attack in China," screams the commenter. My heart almost gave out when during the end of lap 24, d'Ambrosio, in an effort to clinch third place, almost clips his team-mate. It's the final lap and Heidfeld is still hell-bent on not letting Dragon Racing pass him, but anything could happen. Duval tries once more to get around Heidfeld at the last corner, but fails. Heidfeld crosses the finish line, netting Mahindra Racing its first-ever Formula E podium with third place. In the control room, Gill tightens his fist in victory and exhales in relief.
Heidfeld takes third, while Lucas di Grassi places second and Buemi takes first.
During the post-race interview, Heidfeld is satisfied with the results. "The guys behind me in the end did one lap more on the first stint, so they had more power and I had to defend. It was really exciting, especially on the last lap... at least [I] managed not to crash on the last lap this time.
"As the fastest team behind Renault, the results reaffirm Gill's confidence in their approach to the development of their powertrain. Their laboratory that is the Formula E has shown that they are on the right track. The work continues.
That's the slow crawl of evolution. Adopt the long view, even when it comes to fast-moving cars. What will happen if Formula E is still on the scene and has perfected its electronic tech so that its cars can rival the speed of their F1 counter-parts and drivers no longer need to switch cars halfway through? Will the two merge? Or will F1 continue to progress to such an extent that its electronic counterpart will find it difficult to keep up and force it to forever live in its shadow?
Years from now, when a wiser generation has to brush away the dust of their past, they will find the wheel. And it'll be attached to the axel that's attached to a car. They will carefully excise its contents, marvelling at the engine and the gears; the hint of gasoline in the tank and find humour in how people used to get by on the blood of fossils; how antiquated, they might remark, what a novelty, especially when we're able to zip through the air in our hovercars. Who knows, right? But one thing's for certain, no one wants to be left behind, choking on the dust kicked up by innovation.

FRISCO, Texas -- McNeese State is a slight favorite to unseat defending Southland Conference football co-champions Texas State and Nicholls State.
This according to the league�s head coaches in their 2006 preseason poll.
In addition, the sports information directors of the SLC picked the Cowboys by a little wider margin.
Three of the seven head coaches and four of the SIDs favor McNeese to win its 11th all-time SLC title and fourth in the last six years. The Cowboys won back-to-back-to-back crowns from 2001-03 before slipping to fifth place in 2004 and third last year. McNeese�s 10 previous championships more than double all other active universities as Northwestern State is next with four trophies.
Texas State also garners three first-place votes by the head coaches and came up just three points shy of the Cowboys. McNeese tallied 31 points with Texas State grabbing 28. Nicholls State is tied with Northwestern State for third in the coaches� poll with 22 points.
"It is a privilege, an honor, for us to be picked where we are to start the season," Nicholls coach Jay Thomas. "It is a first for us. We are not used to being in this position. We need to remember what got us to where we were last year, and that is good old fashion hard work."
Thomas said he is looking forward to the start of what he expects to be another tough season of SLC competition.
"This year we will have a couple of challenges. We return five starters on
defense, but only a couple on offense," Thomas said. "The conference will be tougher this season. It�s almost as if it is a mini-SEC. You will have to bring your "A" game every night, or you�ll get beat."
Southeastern received the other first-place vote and is fifth with 18 points. Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin round out the seven-team predicted order of finish.
The SIDs see Nicholls finishing second to McNeese with Northwestern and Texas State tying for
third. The Colonels received one first-place vote while the Bobcats got two.
SLU is picked fifth, SHSU sixth and SFA seventh by the SIDs.
After having played only one game at home last season because of Hurricane Rita, McNeese State is looking forward to a six game home schedule this year. The Cowboys will have 50 lettermen on a squad that is expecting a better showing than last year�s 5-4 effort and third place seat in the Southland Conference standings.
The hurricane displaced the Cowboys for most of the campaign. Three of their games - all home outings - were cancelled, two other games were played at neutral sites and the two home games that were contested were played in the daylight, something out of the ordinary for a school that usually packs in 17,000 fans for night games.
Texas State and Nicholls State each won its first-ever SLC titles last year ith 5-1 league records. The two went on to participate in the NCAA I-AA layoffs with the Bobcats advancing all the way to the semifinals. They were n the verge of moving on to the national championship game before losing in overtime.
Texas State finished fourth in the final 2005 national rankings while Nicholls State was 17th after its first-round loss in the playoffs.
McNeese State picked to win SLC
FRISCO, Texas -- McNeese State is a slight favorite to unseat defending Southland Conference football co-champions Texas State and Nicholls State.

I'm attempting to make a crown shaped cake for my daughters 5th birthday. I've hired a wilton tin and I'm reasonably confident with all that. I need help with suggestions for decorating it.
Previously I've used pre-bought fudge and used that to decorate cakes making it different colours and piping it on. This time I was thinking of branching out and making my own frosting.
I need an easy frosting recipe that I can't mess up LOL cause I'm not very good with this type of stuff. And also something that is easy to work with but is not too soft.
All suggestions, help, ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
Don't know if you are looking for a buttercream recipe but i have one that is really basic, tastes good and that i have always used:
CRUSTING BUTTERCREAM (larger quantity)
500g unsalted butter, softened
1kg icing sugar
8 tsp boiling water
optional: 2 tsp vanilla essence
Beat butter with mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the icing sugar, beating well after each addition. Add the water and beat well.
Chocoloate version: Beat in 60g of sifted cocoa
*slight pale yellow colour. more the beat the butter, lighter colour will be
Thanks heaps for your help Elise That sounds like a winner and an easy Aussie recipe I can follow LOL
yeh i use it all the time cose i don't like to use shortening and it's really easy. It is pretty much the same recipe as the women's weekly has in it's Childrens birthday cake book

How to Find the Right Flooring for Your Home
Choosing the right floor begins with an evaluation of your needs and wants. Each surface comes has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Of course, all of these depend on your personal requirements and preferences.
Before you decide on a particular type of flooring, consider the points below:
Room-specific Conditions
The function of the room you plan to install flooring with the help of Commercial Flooring Pittsburgh PA in has an impact on which surface is best to use. Obviously, you don't want carpeting in your kitchen because it is prone to food and liquid spillage. The idea is to pick a surface that works for how the room will be used.
Your Household and Lifestyle
If you have kids, you should choose flooring that holds up to lots of running and banging. Some laminate products might beat site-finished solid wood because of laminate's superb wear properties. Still, many engineered wood floors (factory pre-finished wood flooring) are constructed with highly durable surface coatings just like laminate. Hard surfaces makes cleanup easier when you have pets that shed, while carpeting will most like retain pet hair and dander. On the other hand, claws will probably scratch a wood floor. If you've got big dogs with big claws, go for tile or wood/laminate flooring from Residential Flooring Pittsburgh PA that comes with the most durable surface.
Health Concerns
Carpeting makes allergens thrive, but tough surfaces make them easier to eliminate. Carpet and other floor materials also have higher VOCs (volatile organic compounds) levels which can be harmful to health, especially in people who are very sensitive to airborne contaminants. In this scenario, find a product with minimal VOC emissions.
Care & Maintenance Requirements
There are materials that have bigger maintenance needs than the others - that is, if you'd like their aesthetic appeal to remain. Wood must be swept or vacuumed frequently to prevent it from dulling and getting scratched by ground-in dirt. Stone or tile is durable, but its finish can succumb eventually when it is not swept regularly. Where there is standing water, such as in the basement sometimes, tile or vinyl is much better than wood.
Economy and Style
If you've always loved the look of Brazilian Cherry but it's too expensive for you, get its laminate equivalent and you'll be amazed that they can look exactly alike - and you pay a whole lot less money! If you're building a new house or remodeling your existing home, you can make those savings go a longer way by spending it on other important parts of the project, like upgrading your appliances or maybe constructing additional cabinets.
Finally, and when possible, visit those building supply outlets or showrooms in person. Articles and photos are helpful, but being able to see things and stand on top of them can assist you as you try to make smart buying decisions.

I am looking for a plugin/script/solution that let's me set a time when to display which type of forum logo.
What I want to do:
I have 4 different seasonal styles of my forum logo. One is regular for the most time of the year, one is for easter (with easter eggs), one is for x-mas and one version is for new year's.
Now I am looking for a solution to set the display time of logo1.jpg (x-mas) from days a-b, logo2.jpg (new years) from days b-c, logo3.jpg (regular) from days c-d, logo4.jpg (easter) from d-e and again logo 3.jpg (regular) from days e-a (until x-mas starts all over again).
for me it is important that the script/plugin changes the seasonal logo automatically.
I would be very glad to get a solution for this. If anyone can do the coding, I'd even want to pay for it, no problem!
Please help, i really didn't find an answer to my custom request here (or maybe I was searching with the wrong keywords....)

Marmot Basin in Alberta, Canada is in the latter category. In fact, the Jasper ski area has now received 502cm (16.5 feet) of total snowfall for the season which is 25% more than its total annual average. Marmot Basin only needs to receive another 40cm (16 inches) of snow to break the previous snowfall record of 542cm (18 feet) set in the 1998/99 season and it still has nearly two months of the ski season left to go - as it's open until May 6th. Over 90cm (three feet) of new snow has fallen in the past 10 days.
"Not only has the abundant snowfall created ideal conditions for skiers and snowboarders, it has also ensured that Marmot Basin will have superb spring skiing conditions right through to May 6th," said Brian Rode, Marmot's VP of Marketing and Sales.
"We had planned on remaining open until May 6th as it was and now we are very confident that conditions will be perfect for late season skiers. If your preference is finely groomed runs rather than knee deep powder Marmot's got it all."
"Our grooming crew is out every night packing down as many runs as they can so people can choose whether to play in the powder or cruise the machine groomed runs," added Rode.
Marmot Basin is located in Jasper, National Park, Alberta Canada and has 1675 acres of skiable terrain, 86 runs and seven ski lifts including three high speed quad chairs including the Canadian Rockies Express, the longest high speed quad chair in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Problems on the size's field of my form.Asked by luisluz on December 04, 2014 at 06:46 PM
I was trying to adjust the sizes of my fields but something went wrong and now all my fields as the some size, but a big one.
I already try to adjust one by one, but when I make a preview all the fields continue with the some big size.
Update: I create a clone of the form and delete all the injected CSS, but even so the size of the fields don't changes.
Thanks for any help on this questions.
Luis Luz
In order to prevent the width of the boxes you need to remove the responsive setting on your form, please check this screenshot below.
And set the label into left.
Then find this CSS files and remove it.
[data-type="control_dropdown"] .form-input,
[data-type="control_birthdate"] .form-input,
[data-type="control_time"] .form-input,
[data-type="control_dropdown"] .form-input-wide,
[data-type="control_birthdate"] .form-input-wide,
[data-type="control_time"] .form-input-wide {
width: 100%;
Hope this help.
Thanks for your answer.
I already done all of that and it went just fine, but after that I change the submit button style, and the problem came again. I solve it by going to the CSS and remove the "!important" on the width of the dropdown menus.
Then I created a form clone and try to change the back and next button style, and again all the dropdown menus got the same size... So maybe the problem is connect with the button style??
I've cloned your form and I didn't found any problem, I used Beta Form Design and I can edit the buttons without any issues, you can check my screencast below.
I think my English on my last message was not perfect, sorry for that.
As you can see on the screencast, when you change the button style (and I also use the Beta Form Design) saved and do the preview, all the dropdown fields now got the same width (something that didn't happen before) and if you try to change the width of a dropdown field, nothing happen, they all stay with the same width.
So, from what I see, when we change the style of the "submit" button (or of the "back" and "next" button) the dropdown fields automatically got a predefined width that don't allow us to personalize the width of each field. Is that so?
I did try to change the width using Beta Form Design and its working.
Here is the screencast.
If you still have a problem please try this one, remove the width of your dropdown and go to the Beta Form Design and try edit the width of your dropdown.
Hope this help.

It's simple, and free.
That the populations of these cost-efficient regions are racial minorities is an unfortunate consequence of corporate bargain-hunting. However, the suggestion that industrial corporations intend to pollute the neighborhoods of, for example, African-Americans simply because they are African-American seems unlikely. It is more plausible to assume, as even the Social Science Journal does, that corporations are motivated by cost, not race. Racism, then, may be regarded as a consequence of environmental injustice, not a cause of it.
Indeed, as proponents of environmental justice have rallied for support in the halls of legislature, it has been difficult to prove that corporations have a discriminatory intent when making their selections for potentially harmful facilities (Huebner 60). This has hampered efforts made by environmental activists to use the U.S. Constitution to buoy their cause. In 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court officially required that litigants must prove, when citing the equal protection clause of the Constitution, that decisions to build industrial facilities were racially motivated (Huebner 61).
Some recourse, however, has come in the form of a 1997 finding by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which allows individuals a private right of action to raise Title VI (of the 1964 Civil Rights Act) claims based on 'disparate impact', or discriminatory effect, against perpetrators of environmental injustice (Huebner 60). Title VI of the Civil Rights Act insists that no one be subjected to discrimination 'under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance' on the grounds of 'race, color, or national origin' (Huebner 60). As such, it would appear that those fighting for environmental justice need not be so concerned with proving discriminatory intent; instead, showing that a disparate impact has been sustained by a racial or poor community will be enough (perhaps) to win claims against corporate America...

Is there a way to make this fondant taste better? The last time and first time I used it everyone including myself thought it tasted like bakin play dough
What brand is it, or did you make it yourself? You can add flavor(like vanilla or almond extract) to it a little at a time. Then just knead it in.
Also use Michele Foster's Delicious Fondant....it's in the recipes here at CC. She tells you how to make it white chocolate or dark chocolate as well!! No playdough flavors with that recipe!!
I think it'll be wilton brand, it's only my second time using it so I'm not yet up to trying a recipe for it. I added vanilla last time it didn't help.
Yeah, Wilton is the grossest flavor of all as far as fondant. I just made the switch to Satin Ice. Are you actually covering a cake with it? Most people usually peel it off anyway, without eating it. But it definitely would be nice to have it taste better. Maybe someone will be able to help better.
Hi, you got to try few other brands of fondant or if you like you can make your own. I do recommend Michele Foster's fondant. Its soo yummy. You can also try Marshmellow fondant, but it is too sweet for me.

Glutamate is both a significant metabolic intermediate as well as the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and its changes are thought to play a crucial role in many central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Neurotransmission of glutamate has become an increasing target of drug development for the treatment of several neuropsychiatric disorders, which highlights the significance of developing novel noninvasive tools to investigate baseline and dynamic fluctuations in glutamate concentrations throughout the human brain. The major noninvasive approaches that are currently used to study this metabolite are positron emission tomography (PET) and proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H MRS). The primary limitations of PET are radiation exposure, short half-lives of radio ligands, and their limited applicability to dynamic studies. While 1H MRS is presently the gold standard for measuring human cortical glutamate concentration, its main limitations are low spatial resolution and long acquisition times, which preclude high resolution imaging of the spatial variation of brain glutamate under pathological conditions. The major objective of this proposal is to further optimize the recently developed glutamate imaging method (GluCEST) in mapping spatial variation of glutamate changes under disease conditions. Specifically, we will develop and optimize the GluCEST technique via experiments on known phantoms and evaluate the concentration and pH dependence of GluCEST under physiological conditions. This method will be optimized for in vivo measurements and exploited to investigate the potential of detecting brain glutamate modulation in diseases associated with aberrations of this metabolite. This will be accomplished by studying animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD) and glutaric acidemia type I (GA-I), which involve rapid and wide range of brain glutamate changes in a spatially dependent manner. Finally, the methodology will be optimized for measuring regional variation of glutamate in healthy human studies. As demonstrated by the promising preliminary data, the proposed method offers a highly novel, non-invasive, and nonradioactive method of measuring glutamate distribution in vivo throughout the brain. The method has the inherent capacity to outperform 1H MRS by at least two orders of magnitude with respect to sensitivity. In addition, GluCEST has the potential for providing information about pH changes associated with pathological conditions. Once optimized and validated on animal models with disease mediated rapid glutamate changes, and healthy humans, these experiments can be readily translated to the clinical setting paving the way for human studies dealing with an array of neuropsychiatric disorders.
The objective of this proposal is to develop a novel high resolution, nonradioactive and noninvasive MR imaging method for spatial mapping of brain glutamate. Successful accomplishment of the aims in the proposed disease models will lead to a validated quantitative imaging technique to spatially map glutamate changes in numerous central nervous system disorders and ultimately contribute to improved noninvasive diagnosis and management of patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders.

I think theoretically, the western model should be better but not so much in the reality. I am not the biggest fan of China but we have to acknowledge that China as an economy is doing fine with no issues.
A big thing in China is, to get a job REQUIRES that you know someone, a friend of a friend. Word of mouth is one of the strongest aspects of Chinese society. Experience is nice but not essential, they don't even require references often times.
The West, requires up to date references, absolutely relevant experience. Highly competitive cv/resumes. Employers want the absolute best of the best for the job and experience goes a long way.
Yet... in either case, even though china seems to employ people under qualified by western standards for the same job, their economy is doing fine and unemployment is less of an issue. It is much easier to return to work

I'm giving away another huge assortment today, starting with…
A Sous Vide Supreme – This is kind of a big deal. Sous Vide does to a steak what Barry White does to a love song. Today's big ticket item is the Sous Vide Supreme [1], courtesy of Dr. Michael Eades [2]. It's a form of slow cooking using a vacuum sealing technique that keeps all the juices in the meat. But it's so much more. It's high culinary art captured in steel, praised by the NY Times [3], and used by top chef Richard Blais [4]. Watch a few videos [5] if you aren't yet impressed. And for anyone still unsure of what's going on inside that metal box, having one of these is like having a four-star chef sitting on your counter top. A tiny four star chef. Without the little mustache, puffy toque, or outrageous accent. Winner gets both the Sous Vide Supreme [6] and the Vacuum Sealer [7]. Soak on that!
Alaskan Salmon – The Wild Alaskan Salmon Company [8] is back again this year with another offering of fresh Alaskan wild-caught sockeye salmon [9]. Winner gets 5 lbs. Fair warning to folks who've never done the wild-caught Alaskan thing: It's good enough to make a fish snob of you. You may find it very hard to be satisfied with the seafood counter at the Piggly Wiggly after eating this stuff. BONUS: Use "MDA" when ordering for a 10% discount.
Beef Jerky – Nothing washes down fresh Alaskan salmon better than a mouthful of dried cow. Slant Shack Jerky [10] is donating a Chef's Choice starter pack of grass fed beef jerky [11] to the winner this year. For jerky aficionados, this is the company with the nifty Build-a-Jerky [12] feature on their site. And if you do decide to build a jerky, might I suggest the garlic rub. BONUS: Use "PRIMALAPPLE" when ordering for a 10% discount.
Coconut Flour – Tropical Traditions [13] is a perennial giveaway favorite here at MDA (because, really, who can ever get enough coconut?). Winner will receive a 2 lb bag of coconut flour [13]. Now you can make a sous vide coconut salmon jerky cake.
The Sous Vide Supreme, the Vacuum Sealer, the Alaskan Salmon, the Grass Fed Jerky, and a bag of coconut. That should be enough to get you in to the kitchen and cooking…
The Contest:
Create and upload a Primal recipe video to YouTube. Have you mastered the omelet? Are you an almond flour fiend? Maybe your salad is so mean, it can win a chili cookoff. If so, let the world in on your secrets. Grab your camcorder, and show us how to make something Primal. There aren't really restrictions on how you do it. The only requirement is that your video relates in some way to the Primal Blueprint eating plan [14]. Show the world (how to prepare) your best Primal dish and you could be the winner of the complete Primal package listed above.
For an idea of what you can do, check out some of last year's highlights, including spareribs [15], vegetable fritters [16], Primal nutella [17], coconut pancakes [18], and kale chips [19]. And watch last year's winning video, Skinless Gyoza:
The video needs to be an original video made for the purposes of this contest. Please title the video "Primal Blueprint Recipe:" followed by your own sub-title.
Upload your video to YouTube and then email me the link [20]. I'll publish select videos on Mark's Daily Apple at the end of the month. Include the words "Recipe Video Submission" in the subject line of your email. Otherwise, there's a good chance I may completely miss your submission.
The Deadline:
September 27, midnight PST.
Who is Eligible:
While anyone can enter, the Salmon and Sous Vide Supreme are only available to U.S. residents. In the case of an international winner, a substitute prize of equal value will be awarded.
How A Winner Will Be Decided:
Video submissions will be posted on September 29. The Worker Bees and I will choose a list of finalists to be voted on by readers.
Fine Print:
MDA reserves the right to publish and/or edit any videos submitted.
Visit the 30-Day Challenge Contest Page [21] to find out which contests are still open, and to view winners.

Looks as if Nancy Pelosi has found a rooting section at ABC. As we detailed here yesterday, Charley Gibson fawned over Nancy Pelosi's baby-clutching photo-op. This morning, Cokie Roberts joined the claque. Appearing on This Week, she enthused:
"Great images, you're absolutely right. And completely natural. . . That baby knew that grandmother even though it's only a few weeks old. All those other children were completely comfortable with her. And it was, it was just, fun. It wasn't in any way stilted and awful."
View video here.
Pelosi, completely natural and comfortable? Not nearly as natural and comfortable as was Cokie -- singing the praises of a new Dem Speaker of the House.

Former 500cc world championship front-runner Takuma Aoki will return to top-line competition in this year's Dakar Rally - his first major event since the accident in 1997 that left him paralysed.
Aoki, the middle of the three 'Fireball Brothers' alongside siblings Nobuatsu (Suzuki's MotoGP test rider and a former 500cc podium finisher) and Haruchika (double 125cc champion), took fifth in the 1997 500cc championship before being paralysed in a testing crash in Japan after the end of the season.
He has since worked with Honda to develop cars specifically for disabled use, and will drive a modified Isuzu on the Dakar.
"It's good to be back and have some racing back in my life," said Aoki. "I went along to the start of the 2004 Dakar in Clermont Ferrand and got the bug then."
He will be joined in the event by former 500cc/MotoGP rider Jurgen van den Goorbergh, who is contesting the Dakar's bike class on a Honda.
"It's good to be starting where I am at number 57 as I don't want to be too near the front for the first few stages," van den Goorbergh said. "We have a massive team, just over 50 people, so I've got some guidance and experience around me."
The Dutchman has been involved in Holland's TV coverage of MotoGP in recent years as well as training for the Dakar aboard his Honda 450 X in European events.

The process is the same as in 4.7, go into the Email Settings page and click on the disable link next to Incoming Email, don't disable outgoing email however as this will prevent you from receiving any ticket alerts or monitor alerts.

For complete disableing emails: Settings/Email Settings --> click on "Disable" at "Incoming Emails" (and maybe "Outgoing Emails").
If you only want to not accept emails from users to being generated to tickets, see if Ticket Rules will help you.

Thanks for all of the quick responses, much appreciated.
The point was we didn't want to use the e-mail element of Spiceworks at all. Users are authenticated by AD so they don't need to be able to send tickets by e-mail. I just wanted them to enter the AD username and password and no be asked to enter an e-mail address which is what they get the first time they use Spiceworks.
It's probably going to be easier for me to just put their e-mail addresses intot heir AD account and leave it as it is. Probably makes sense to make use of e-mail anyway!
Thanks again.
