Seeing as there already is one on the wiki, I decided, what the heck, why shouldn't I make one too... I will start working on it soon.
Bruce Wayne is an extremely wealthy individual, owns Wayne Enterprises, and is secretly Batman, also called the Dark Knight, an ego which he uses to fight crime and save people.
Physical Appearance
Bruce is a very attractive man with brown eyes and brown hair. Bruce, as a simple business man, usually wears well-tailored suits, but as Batman, he wears all-black armor, which is highly durable, a mask, with a teethed cape.
Powers and Abilities
Trained most diligently as well as vigorously by the League of Shadows, taught to be resistant pain, and to become the fear of his adversaries and opponents, Bruce is in prime human physical condition, at the highest peak possible and achievable, being extremely agile, stronger, and fast. With the aid of his suit, the Batman costume, he becomes, by default, more durable and strong, and surprisingly enough, even with the suit he is able to be very mobile. Utilizing other gadgets, like swords, throwing knives, Batarangs, a grappling gun, or explosive powders, he becomes more dangerous which makes him not easily beaten. He has proven to be a master strategist.

Putting the ç into Behçets
Anyone out there curious to know how a keyboard can spell Behcet's as Behçet's - look no further than here (hopefully).....
I have 2 computers - one is an old desktop PC with a proper keyboard and a traditional numerical pad on the right. The other is a laptop with the usual laptop keyboard that has no separate numerical keypad.
On a standard desktop keyboard all you do to get a "ç" is hold down the ALT key to the left of the space bar and with the ALT key held down type 0 2 3 1 on the numerical keypad.
Wherever the cursor is in your document or e.mail or blog post you will see a ç appear in the screen.
If you are using a laptop it's a bit more complicated.
Laptops have a "Num Lock" button somewhere in the layout.
On a Sony VAIO the Num Lock key is just above the wide backspace key.
Get where you want to be in your text and then press the Num Lock key and a light should come on somewhere to say that this key is engaged.
Then look on your keyboard and you'll see a collection of the letter keys have small numbers on them and these replicate the numbers on a numerical keypad.
On my laptop the 0 2 3 and 1 keys are assigned to the M K L and J keys.
So, on a laptop just press Num Lock then hold down the ALT key as before and with your right finger type M K L J or whichever letters the numbers 0 2 3 1 are assigned to.
Don't forget to press the Num Lock key again to turn off the virtual numerical keypad.
Alternatively click on the start button in Windows and at the box at the bottom type the words character map.
This should bring up the character map app and from here you can select the character and then manually copy and paste it into whatever text you are typing.
I've uploaded a small image of what the character map looks like....
Hope this is of use.....

This would actually be useful functionality in the RMI world where you really want different jars for server implementation classes and resources, client side use, and then stub/proxy downloads. The Jini distribution comes with a utility which produces a list of dependencies for a given class. I use this output to create my includesfile for the jar task. See the com.sun.jini.tool.ClassDep source in the Jini distribution. You can find it at http://www.sun.com/jini. The ClassDep utility also takes into consideration that you probably don't really want to list all classes on which you are dependent. No sense in trying to jar up java.lang.String et. al. or all those third party classes that you fully intend to be deployed in separate vendor provided jars. I would also be inclined to see it as part of the jar task.

JotForm won't save the name of the form when I re-name itAsked by urbanecolife on September 15, 2015 at 05:53 AM
Dear Sirs,
I am using the free version of JotForm to create subscription forms. However, when I change the name of a form in the listing, it doesn't keep the saved name but reverts to the previous/initial name. I want to have various versions of the form with different marketing agents details and e-mail addresses in it, so I need a few versions of the same thing. It also won't rename/save cloned forms under a new name, it just calls it "Clone of Subscription Form".
This is before I have embedded it, I need to give each form a different name before I send it to the agents, so I know what's what.
Please advise how I can rectify this as it is going to cause confusion for me, I won't know which agent's forms are which. Thank you very much.
Kind regards, Bronwyn
Bronwyn Howard
This is a strange issue Bronwyn. I have just tried to change the title from within the myforms page and it works properly - as it was before.
I was able to even double click on one form, change the text and then double click on the other form title and have the changes saved, so this worked as well.
Can you please however try to double click the title, type the text and then press Return / Enter key on your keyboard and see if it repeats the same issue or if it allows you to make a submission instead?
If this does not work, you should be able to just click on the title of the form once you open it for editing and just change its text from there instead.

LONDON (Reuters) - Not every athlete who wins a gold medal at the London Games will strike it rich. Most will return home to a good pat on the back and a part-time job, scratching out a sporting career.
American Gabby Douglas will not be among them.
The 16-year-old American gymnast, nicknamed the "Flying Squirrel", arrived in London as an unknown commodity and will leave with her stock soaring - rebranded as the newest Olympic sweetheart, with millions in sponsorships and endorsements awaiting her at home.
Armed with a cute nickname, a megawatt smile, a compelling back-story and two gold medals, with maybe more to come in apparatus finals, fame and fortune await the perky teenager who only five months ago was an outsider to make the U.S. team.
The race to lock up deals with the Flying Squirrel will rival any at the Olympics stadium.
Cereal maker Kellogg Co, a U.S. Olympic Committee sponsor, was among the first out of the starting blocks, getting Douglas's smiling face on Corn Flakes boxes on Friday just hours after she had claimed gymnastics' biggest prize - the Olympic all-round title.
It marked the second consecutive Summer Games Kellogg had gotten the jump on the competition. It scooped swimming great Michael Phelps after his eight gold medal performance in Beijing in 2008, spoiling rival General Mills Inc's tradition of putting the Games' biggest star on Wheaties.
"We're fickle, but right now she is absolutely the story," Bill Sutton, a former-vice president of marketing for the National Basketball Association and head of the sports and entertainment management program at the University of South Florida, told Reuters.
"Her athletic ability, her age, the event gymnastics, the number of people who watch gymnastics, the high women's audience, the fact she is a role model for young women... She's awesome, it's perfect."
If social media numbers are any gauge, the world has been captivated by the Flying Squirrel.
Wildfire, a leader in social media marketing software recently acquired by Google, has analyzed which athletes and countries are dominating social media with regards to the Olympics and reports that Douglas has seen a 378 percent growth in page likes over the last week, coinciding with U.S. President Barack Obama's call to congratulate her ("you just tore it up ... Stay cool.")
Four of the five most recorded Olympic moments on Thursday on the video service TiVo were of Douglas's winning the all-round crown. Only Phelps, who won his 20th Olympic medal, denied her a clean sweep, coming in at number four.
Douglas has also seen an explosion in Twitter followers, going from close to 200,000 to nearly 400,000 overnight.
American swimmer Dara Torres, who competed in five Olympic Games and won 12 medals, was among Douglas's thousands of Twitter followers who had messages for the double gold medalist.
"Congrats to @gabrielledoug, incredible performance...get ready for the ride!" tweeted Torres.
"She's probably one of the world's most recognizable athletes at this point so her potential for endorsements is obviously very strong," said Neal Pilson, head of media consulting firm Pilson Communications Inc, in Lennox, Mass.
"Clearly she's an extraordinarily interesting, attractive, fun young lady and I think she's going to have a lot of proposals to choose from."
Pilson did not want to put a number on Douglas's earning potential but some experts have pegged it at between $5 million and $10 million over the next four-year Olympic cycle.
The subject of a pre-Games article in Time magazine, Douglas shared the cover of Sports Illustrated's Olympic edition with her "Fierce Five" team mates but the first African-American to wear the all-round crown looks ready to emerge from the Games as a marketing dynamo.
"The gold medal alone doesn't get you to first base in marketing - it's the persona that goes with it," said Lynn Lashbrook, a Portland, Oregon-based sports agent. "I can't think of another person in this category: female, young, articulate, great smile, this is unique.
"This will be off the charts."
From Soviet Olga Korbut in 1972 and Romanian Nadia Comaneci in 1976 to American Nastia Liukin four years ago in Beijing, each Summer Games seems to introduce a new precocious talent, an irresistible charmer who commands the Olympic spotlight leaving spectators spellbound by her gravity-defying antics.
While Douglas seized her moment in the arena, so must the men and women who will represent her as they try to capitalize on the fame that can be fleeting in the sport of women's gymnastics.
Four years ago, Liukin, Shawn Johnson and Alicia Sacramone were the anchors of the U.S. team. When they all failed to earn a spot in the London squad, their moment in the limelight was gone.
"I think she will get a lot of endorsements but it will be short-lived," said Brad Adgate, senior vice-president of research at Horizon Media. "She's got everything going for her as a product endorser.
"She's got the qualities Madison Avenue look for and there has been a very long history of Olympic athletes working as product endorsers. But these things are not evergreen. You don't see Mark Spitz doing ads anymore," he added.
"There could be a 12-year-old out there somewhere right now, who is a young phenom, the Gabby Douglas of 2016."

In honor of XLrator Media's May 31st limited theatrical release date for American Mary, we have an exclusive and bloody new clip for you cats. Why? Because we love you and we especially enjoy making hump day fun!
The flick, available on VOD since May 16th, will be opening in Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Chicago, and San Diego on May 31st. Written and directed by the Soska Sisters, American Mary stars Katharine Isabelle, Antonio Cupo, Tristan Risk, David Lovgren, Paula Lindberg, Clay St. Thomas, John Emmet Tracy, and Twan Holliday.
For more on the film, visit the official Twisted Twins Productions website, like American Mary on Facebook, and on Twitter follow American Mary (@_American_Mary) and the Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska (@twisted_twins).
This metaphor for the Soskas' own journey through the independent film industry follows medical student Mary Mason as she becomes increasingly broke and disenchanted. The allure of easy money sends Mary into the twilight world of body modification and underground surgeries where obsessed flesh artists will pay anything and go through any pain to get their unusual procedures done. But Mary soon finds that her new "profession" leaves more marks on her own psyche than on her freakish clientele.

At Last! A High Quality Broiler Pan
I have been searching for literally more than 25 years for a good-quality, large stainless steel broiler pan that features either holes or slats in its top to enable fat to drain while cooking and the use of steel wool soap pads (such as SOS or Brillo) for fast, thorough cleaning. This pan, made by BergHOFF, is the first one that I've found in my more than two-and-half decade quest that's met my criteria. Pans like this used to be easy to come by, but for some reason, that hasn't been the case since the early 1980s. I'm delighted that one is finally available again and hope that it will sell well enough to remain on the market for years to come. For anyone who, like me, has been waiting for the return of a broiler pan that's as well designed and solid as this one, I give BergHOFF's pan my highest recommendation -- and the price for which it's being sold here at Overstock is the best that I've seen anywhere, so it's an excellent value, as well.Read More
This pan is the best! VERY Solid with the best kind of immovable handles. It is a terrific value. It is deep enough for my favorite recipes. I love it so much that I just purchased three for holiday gifts. Check the size for your needs.Read More
Lasagna Pan
Great value, stainless steel, perfect size. would highly recommend this to a friend. But then I HIGHLY recommend Overstock to all my friends.Read More
Excellent Product
This pan is fantastic. I bought the first one a few months prior and liked it so much I bought a second one. I checked online at several other sites and compared to other pans of the same type, it was much much less expensive. This pan looks as good as it is durable. I got so many compliments when I used it for a serving dish for a dinner party. It cleans up perfectly. I just can not say enough about it. Excellent quality especially for the price. Thanks Overstock!Read More
Rack too low
The quality of the pan itself is very good. The pan comes with 2 different type of rack. One is a wire rack and it is very small and sit low on the bottom of the pan. This rack does not hang on the top like most racks. It is good for roasting a whole chicken but not for me to roast fish because the space is too small on the rack. I wanted a stainless steel rack that hang on top so I can roast fishes. The other rack that came with this item is a flat metal rack that hang on the top of the pan. I have never us this type of rack before but it would be good for vegetable and other small items so it would not fall off into the bottom. I am keeping this item because it is not worth the trouble to send it back. I just need to find a stainless steel rack that would fit this pan.Read More

"What is the weight of this pan? Can it also be used as a broiling pan? What is the country of manufacture? Is this pan dishwasher safe?"
Hello mfphotographer! This pan weighs 4.39 pounds and is dishwasher and broiler safe. It's important for our customers to know that with over 4,000 products designed in Belgium, and factories throughout Europe, it is not always possible to say with certainty what product batches come from what facilities or at what time. We can, however, tell you that our stainless steel items are constructed from German grade steel and assembled in Belgium while our glassware is made in Bohemia, Czech Republic and our porcelain is manufactured in Sri Lanka. Although some of our promotional products are manufactured in China, all of them undergo vigorous inspections to ensure that they meet or exceed U.S. and European quality and safety standards. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
"What is correct width of pan? Product description states 6 inches wide."
Thank you for your interest. We apologize for the erroneous dimensions. They are: 18 L x 10.5 W x 3 inches H. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

A PSU education professor helped create a very successful cross-cultural musical theatre presentation that wrapped up last month after a series of performances in New Hampshire and South Africa.
"We profoundly affected some young lives," said PSU Education professor Dr. Patricia Lindberg. Lindberg, a veteran educator and children's theatre director, developed an inspirational musical revue, "Hope is like a Feather," after soliciting writings from both U.S. and South African teenagers about their hopes and dreams.
"I culled through the responses and wrote a script," said Lindberg. "Our world really does need much more hope in it, and these talented kids really believed in what they wrote."
Lindberg invited ten South African students to New Hampshire earlier this summer to participate in the revue; the South African students were from all walks of society, including some that consider running water and indoor plumbing a luxury.
"A true cross cultural exchange is face-to-face learning, an opportunity to see how other people live, this changed the way both groups of students see themselves and their world," noted Lindberg.
After several weeks of rehearsal, they staged a series of five shows at Kearsarge Regional High School, as part of the Kearsarge Arts Theatre Company for Children that she founded. PSU graduate students also assisted with the production, doing everything from stitching costumes to building sets to publicity.
In early August, the troupe then traveled to South Africa, performing at a variety venues, ranging from Pretoria's State Theatre to a run-down school in a rural community. At each performance, though, the reaction was the same.
"It was really gratifying because everywhere we went, people responded to the message of hope," said Lindberg. 'At our last performance, in a trailer that served as a schoolroom, the kids were really touched by our heartfelt message because they have nothing but hope. For the Americans, it was such an eye-opener for them to see poverty, for them to realize how much they should be grateful for."
The American students returned home in mid-August, preparing for another school year, but already much wiser in their understanding of the world around them.
As for the South African students, Lindberg says the revue offered them a view of the possibilities of a better life.
"They're daring to hope that one day, their dreams will be realized. Hope is Like a Feather helped all of us to see our lives a little clearer and to dream a little more."

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to electrical cables, in particular low-voltage electrical cables having improved fire resistance and water resistance.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Fire-resistant cables including polyolefin layers containing an organic halogenide or other fire retardants are known in the art.
The disadvantages of using halogenated flame retardant compounds, in particular in connection with fabrication of the above cables and their possible corrosive effect on metal parts of the equipment, are known in the art.
PCT WO 99/05688 discloses cables with good fire resistance properties, including a layer of crystalline propylene homopolymer or copolymer blended with a copolymer of ethylene with at least one α-olefin and possibly a diene.
The above compounds contain a natural magnesium hydroxide in quantities which confer fire retardant properties on the cables.
The above application mentions the possible use of an internal insulative layer that is relatively thick compared with the layer containing the fire retardant.
European application EP 0 378 259 discloses high-voltage connecting cables including a metal wire surrounded by a first insulative layer from 0.3 to 1.5 mm thick and including a copolymer of propylene and at least one other alkene, the first insulative jacket being covered with a second insulative jacket that is not crosslinked and is from 1.0 to 3 mm thick, containing polyvinyl chloride or a vinyl chloride copolymer. The second jacket includes fire retardant additives.
GB patent 2 294 801 concerns an electrical cable including a conductor embedded in a hydrophobic material and surrounded by a layer of fire retardant material. The cable is used in the field of telecommunications in particular.
However, we have found that using a covering including a layer containing the fire retardant as described in PCT WO 99/05688 makes the water resistance of the cable unsatisfactory, failing to comply with the relevant requirements. Also, when the thick insulative additional layer is used, the cable has fire resistance problems.
We have found that when the cable is live in the presence of moisture the water tends to penetrate the cable and reduce its insulation, leading to breakdown of the cable.
The invention therefore relates to a low-voltage electrical cable, preferably a single-conductor cable, having improved fire resistance and flame propagation resistance, containing no halogenides and complying with IEC standards, the cable having improved water resistance. The combination also aims to improve the mechanical properties of the cable and its resistance to short circuits.
The cable according to the invention must have a fire resistance complying with the following standards: IEC 332-3c (March 1992), NFEN 50 266-2 section 4 of February 1999, and NFC 32070 section 2 and 2.2 of March 1991, and the additions A1 of July 1992 and A2 of November 1993, and a water resistance such that it resists salt water (10 g/l NaCl) at 60� C. at a voltage of 220 V DC for at least ten days, complying with NFC-32-201-2, art. 2.5 of October 1998 and NFC-32-201-1 table 3, section 5 of October 1998.
We have discovered that the above problems can be solved by developing a cable featuring a double layer, the layers having relative thicknesses such that the cable has at one and the same time improved fire resistance properties and improved water resistance properties, in both cases complying with the aforementioned standards.
The invention provides a fire-resistant and water-resistant low-voltage electrical cable including a conductor and a first internal layer to protect it against water based on a polymer compound containing no halogen, crosslinked or not, and a second layer consisting of a blend of a crystalline propylene homopolymer or copolymer and of a copolymer of ethylene and at least one α-olefin, optionally with a diene, and of an agent having fire retardant properties, the ratio of the thicknesses of the outer layer and the internal layer being from 1 to 7.
Depending on the cross section of the conductor, the internal layer preferably has a thickness from 0.05 to 1 mm and the outer layer preferably has a thickness from 0.25 to 2 mm.
In accordance with the invention, the inner layer covering the conductor is a layer of an olefin polymer containing no halogenide, crosslinked or not, preferably chosen from polyolefins and more particularly olefin homopolymers or copolymers, copolymers of an olefin with ethylenically unsaturated esters, polyesters, polyethers, polyether/polyester copolymers and blends thereof.
The polymers can include polyethylene and in particular linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), polypropylene, a thermoplastic propylene-ethylene copolymer, ethylene-propylene rubbers (EPR) or ethylene-propylene-diene rubbers (EPDM), natural rubbers, butyl rubbers, ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers, ethylene/methacrylate (EMA) copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate (EEA) copolymers, ethylene/butyl acrylate (EBA) copolymers and ethylene/α-olefin copolymers.
The fire retardant outer layer is preferably a blend of a crystalline propylene homopolymer or copolymer and of a copolymer of ethylene with an α-olefin, possibly with a diene, said copolymers having a narrow molecular weight distribution, characterized by a molecular weight distribution index, defined as the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight Mw to the number-average molecular weight Mn, less than 5, preferably from 1.5 to 3.5, as determined by gel permeation chromatography and a fire retardant.
The α-olefins can be α-olefins with the formula:
where R is a linear or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
In particular, they can be propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-dodecene, etc.
The α-olefins are preferably the propylene, 1-hexene and 1-octene radicals.
When the α-olefin is propylene, the copolymers can be characterized by a high domain regularity in the sequence of monomer units. In particular, these copolymers have a number of CH2 groups in the —(CH2)n-sequences, where n is an integer, relative to the total number of CH2 groups less than 5%/mol, preferably less than 1%/mol. This can be determined by NMR analysis using carbon-13. This is known in the art.
When the comonomer is a diene, it generally has 4 to 20 carbon atoms and is preferably chosen from conjugated or unconjugated linear diolefins such as, for example, 1,3-butadiene, 1,4-hexadiene or 1,6-octadiene; monocyclic or polycyclic dienes such as, for example, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, 5-ethylidene norbornene, 5-methylene-2-norbornene, etc.
In accordance with the invention, the composition of the outer layer is obtained by using blends of the two polymers containing from 5 to 60 wt % and preferably from 10 to 40 wt % of a crystalline propylene homopolymer or copolymer (a) and from 40 to 95 wt % and preferably from 60 to 90 wt % of the ethylene/α-olefin copolymer (b) relative to the total weight of the polymer components of the compound.
The compounds preferably contain, as fire retardants, natural or synthetic aluminum and/or magnesium hydroxide. The natural magnesium oxide can be obtained, for example, by grinding minerals based on magnesium hydroxide such as brucite. Brucite can generally be obtained mixed with other minerals such as calcite, aragonite, talc or magnesite, often in laminar form between silicate deposits, especially in serpentine asbestos, chlorites or schists.
In accordance with the invention, the brucite is ground employing a wet or dry technique known in the art and in the presence of additives such as polyglycols.
The specific surface area of the ground product is generally from 3 to 20 m2/g and preferably from 6 to 15 m2/g.
The ground product can be subjected to a separation process to obtain a range of particle sizes from 1 to 15 μm and preferably from 1 to 5 μm. The particle distribution is such that less than 10% of the total number of particles have a particle size less than 1.5 μm and less than 10% of the total number of particles have a particle size greater than 20 μm.
If the fire retardant is of natural origin, it may contain various impurities derived from oxides and/or hydroxides of metals such as iron, manganese, calcium, silicon, vanadium, etc.
Magnesium hydroxide obtained by chemical methods known in the art can also be used, for example by basic precipitation from an aqueous solution containing the Mg2+ion.
The magnesium hydroxide can be used as such or can be treated with saturated or unsaturated fatty acids containing 8 to 24 carbon atoms or metal salts thereof, for example with oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, lauric acid, magnesium or zinc stearate, magnesium or zinc oleate.
The particles can also be surface-treated with coupling agents such as organic titanates or silanes, such as vinyltriethoxysilane, vinyltriacetylsilane, tetraisopropyltitanate, tetra-n-butyl titanate, etc.
The copolymers (b) of the outer layer are preferably copolymers of ethylene with at least one C3-C12 α-olefin, possibly a diene, these copolymers having elastomeric properties characterized by:
an enthalpy of melting less than 35 J/g and preferably less than 30 J/g;
an intrinsic viscosity (η) generally greater than 1.0 dl/g, and preferably greater than 2.0 dl/g, determined in tetraline at 135� C.;
a Mooney ML (1+4) viscosity at 125� C., measured as per ASTM standard D 1646, generally greater than 10 and preferably from 20 to 90;
a solubility in pentane at 20� C. generally greater than 80 wt %; and
a permanent set of less than 30% measured one minute after removal of the stress, which allowed elongation to 200% as per ASTM standard D 412.
These copolymers generally have the following composition: 35 to 90 mol % of ethylene 10 to 65 mol % of α-olefin, preferably propylene, 0.10 mol % of a diene, preferably 1,4-hexadiene or 5-ethylidene norbornene.
When the α-olefin is propylene, the monomer composition is preferably as follows: 55 to 80 wt % and preferably 65 to 75 wt % of ethylene, 20 to 45 wt % and preferably 25 to 35 wt % of propylene; 0 to 10 wt % and preferably 0 to 5 wt % of a diene (preferably 5-ethylene-2-norbornene).
A second family of copolymers that can be used in the outer layer are copolymers of ethylene with at least one C4-C12 α-olefin, preferably 1-octene, and possibly a diene, characterized by:
a density from 0.86 to 0.90 g/cm3;
an enthalpy of melting from 30 to 60 J/g;
a melt-flow index measured as per ASTM standard D 1238 L from 0.1 to 30 g/10 minutes, preferably from 0.5 to 5 g/10 minutes.
These copolymers preferably have the following composition: 75 to 97 mol % and preferably 90 to 95 mol % of ethylene; 3 to 25 mol % and preferably 5 to 10 mol % of α-olefin and 0 to 5 mol % and preferably 0.2 mol % of a diene.
The crystalline propylene homopolymers or copolymers generally have an enthalpy of melting greater than 75 J/g and preferably greater than 85 J/g. They are preferably chosen from:
isotactic propylene homopolymers having an isotactic index greater than 80, preferably greater than 90 and in particular greater than 95;
propylene homopolymers obtained using metallocene catalysts, having an mmmmm pentad concentration greater than 90% as determined by NMR analysis using carbon-13;
copolymers of propylene with ethylene or an α-olefin having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms and an ethylene and/or α-olefin concentration less than 10 mol %;
heterophase propylene copolymers which can be obtained by block polymerization of propylene and mixtures of propylene with ethylene and/or an α-olefin having 4 to 10 carbon atoms and containing at least 70 wt % of propylene homopolymers and crystalline ethylene/propylene copolymers with an isotactic index greater than 80, the remainder consisting of elastomeric ethylene/propylene copolymers with a propylene content from 30 to 70 wt %; and
crystalline propylene homopolymers or copolymers having a syndiotactic structure that can be obtained using metallocene catalysts.
The quantity of magnesium hydroxide used as a fire retardant is finally from 10 to 90 wt % and preferably from 30 to 80 wt % relative to the total weight of the compound.
Other fillers having flame retardant properties can be used, such as aluminum hydroxide or aluminum trihydrate (Al2O3.3H2O) or one or more oxides or inorganic salts such as CoO, TiO2, Sb2O3, ZnO, Fe2O3, CaCO3 or mixtures thereof.
As indicated above, to improve the compatibility of the magnesium hydroxide with the polymer matrix, coupling agents can be used to improve the interaction between the hydroxyl groups of the magnesium hydroxide and the polyolefin chains.
The coupling agents are preferably chosen from unsaturated silane derivatives, preferably silanes containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated group: epoxides containing an ethylenically unsaturated group, monocarboxylic acids or preferably dicarboxylic acids having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group or derivatives thereof, such as anhydrides or esters.
The silanes include γ-methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, tris-(2-methoxyethoxy)methylsilane, dimethyldiethoxysilane, tris-(2-methoxyethoxy)vinylsilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, octyltriethoxysilane, isobutyltriethoxysilane, isobutyltrimethoxysilane and mixtures thereof.
The epoxides include glycidyl acrylates, glycidyl methacrylate, the monoglycidyl ester of itaconic acid, the glycidyl ester of maleic acid, vinyl glycidyl ether, allyl glycidyl ether or mixtures thereof.
The monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acids including an ethylenically unsaturated group include maleic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, citraconic acid, itaconic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, their esters and anhydrides or mixtures thereof, maleic anhydride being preferred.
The coupling agent is generally used in quantities from 0.01 to 5 wt % and preferably 0.05 to 2 wt % relative to the total weight of the base polymer blend.
These compounds can also contain antioxidants, processing aids, lubricants, pigments and other fillers.
The compounds are prepared by mixing the polymers and the additives by methods known in the art.
The layers can be applied by extrusion, for example, or by extrusion in two separate stages, consisting in extruding the inner layer onto the conductor in a first stage and the outer layer onto the inner layer in a second stage.
In a preferred embodiment the two layers are applied in a single stage using a so-called "tandem" process in which two separate extruders in series are used or by coextrusion using a single extrusion head.
Cables according to the invention are intended in particular to be used in environments where there are moisture problems or places for which there are special safety conditions in the event of fire, such as public places, storage areas, test areas or working areas likely to receive inflammable products. They have improved short-circuit resistance.

I'm 19. I have a small room with no closet. My boyfriend does stay with me, but we need more storage space. All I have is a full size bed, a night stand with 1 drawer, a tall 3 drawer dresser which has all my clothes in it, a mini fridge for drinks and snacks, and a high shelf that we keep our collectable items on. We need more clothing space for both of us and more shelving space for hygiene, jewelry, pens, notebooks, etc. Any ideas please?

Thrift stores, garage sales, Craig's List, etc., have great furniture-cabinets, shelves and other storage ideas for very little. Shelves are what you probably need most. Also, there are fabric closets you can buy that simply set up in your room for hanging and folded clothes. Try IKEA, Walmart, Target, etc.
I've seen some folks use cinder blocks between boards to make floor to ceiling walls of space and use those plastic boxes to place stuff inside to sit on those shelves (and under the bed).
If there is any way to hang shelves from the ceiling (rope on both ends through the boards) OR even to HANG clothes on hangers (similar to a swing idea with a rod horizontally at the bottom and holes for rope to go through the rod at both ends..like a trapeze design) you can add some space.
Good Luck!
All good ideas. Also, can you buy or build a bed that is raised? You might find plans easy enough here. Good luck!!

Breaking Ground Heritage has been granted permission to use the British Archaeological Jobs and Resources (BAJR) Skills Passport to document the training that our participants have undertaken. The BAJR Skills Passport is an industry recognised record of training and experience that is accepted by all major archaeological units. Being a varification of the skills obtained within archaeology it is therefor invaluable for new archaeologists when gaining experience, additionally for those who wish to progress further in academic archaeology to an NVQ, the BAJR Skills Passport once complete will qualify as a single module towards the NVQ.
I had always been interested in history and archaeology, but due to my role in the Army and later married and family life I did not have any time to pursue this more than documentaries on tv and odd day trips out.
My first contact with BGH was to partake in an archaeological dig which was local to me (East Chisenbury) and convenient to fit in with school runs amongst other things. It was a wonderful experience form digging, to cleaning and labelling finds and experimental archaeology. This really opened my eyes and fired my burgeoning interest in this field. What was great was, that despite my current situation and mental and physical issues, I was more than catered for and activities were adapted to suit my needs (and also everyone was so welcoming).
I met like-minded individuals, mostly ex and serving military, who despite coming from different backgrounds with different life experiences, issues and injuries, all shared a common theme, an interest in archaeology, which really helped me in my recovery. It took my mind off ongoing issues and gave me the ability to focus on something new giving me an opportunity that I never had before and as result fired my interest in archaeology, to the extent I am volunteering weekly at Wessex Archaeology, and can't wait to find the it what next BGH project is.
I will most probably be leaving the army next year, but rather than be disheartened, angry and upset, I am positive and upbeat, thanks to Breaking Ground Heritage (and others) I have found a new direction, whether that be professional or an ardent hobby.
R. Willis Army
I suffered a life changing injury in Afghanistan which resulted in me loosing not only my career but my whole way of life over night. It has taken me a long time to come to terms with this and I am still on the pathway to recovery.
I have always had an interest in archaeology and history. My adult life consisted of a diet of Time Team and Meet the Ancestors, never envisaging that I would be able to make a new career in this industry.
My first experience in archaeology was with my daughter when we both attended an excavation being run by Richard Osgood on an Anglo-Saxon burial mound deep on Salisbury Plain. We were given an area to excavate under the supervision of an archaeologist and unbeknown to me it was a grave and we uncovered a fantastically preserved Anglo-Saxon female with a magnificent necklace. It was an extremely cathartic and thought provoking experience an one that I will never forget.
I would recommend this project to anyone who has sat through an episode of Time Team and wondered what it would really be like to do the for real.
Richard Osgood has since been an excellent mentor to me and as a result I have undertaken a degree in Archaeology at the University of Exeter with ambitions to go onto Postgraduate study on completion.
Sergeant B. Former Royal Marines Commando
After expressing an interest in History to my Psychiatrist, having sustained career ending injuries, I was put in contact with Breaking Ground Heritage, who then invited me to attend an archaeological dig.
I was very sceptical to begin with, but was amazed by how enjoyable and helpful I found it. It allows me to switch off from my own head, to talk to others going through similar experiences and generally be what I consider normal again.
BGH offer a wide variety of experiences from surveying to excavation to finds processing and beyond, so there's something for everyone to join in with, regardless of personal limitations.
BGH has helped me to start getting on with my life again by offering me the chance to be useful and busy whilst partaking in something exciting and hugely rewarding.
I always look forward to the coming projects and would strongly suggest that others at least give it a go to see what it's like. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain.
M. Smith Army
I left the army with a diagnoses Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) caused by my military service. I was introduced to Breaking Ground Heritage because of my passion for archaeology and heritage. With the help of Breaking Ground Heritage and the archaeological training it provides I have found purpose again, adapting my military skills to my civilian life which has helped me move forward to a new career successfully.
I am now studying for a BSc Archaeology at Winchester University, which is designed for students who wish to study the archaeological application of biological, physical and earth science techniques. Breaking Ground Heritage have helped and supported me whilst at University with excavation and research opportunities. For me, learning with other veterans has been an advantage as we all speak the same language and understand some of the challenges that what we have been through.
My future ambition is to embark on a Masters Degree and become a mentor supporting other veterans and service personnel that are in the process of leaving the military for whatever reason.

Tennessee Special Session Targeting Transgender Students Would be Expensive Failure in Leadership
Today, HRC released the following statement after news reports emerged today that lawmakers in Tennessee are considering a special session in order to target transgender students and write discrimination into state law.
"Tennessee lawmakers should learn the lessons of what happened in North Carolina, where dangerous and shameful attempts to target transgender students have harmed countless North Carolinians, done millions of dollars of economic damage to the state, damaged the state's reputation, and cost jobs," said HRC Communications Director Jay Brown. "Tennessee lawmakers who go down this road are gambling with the lives and safety of real people and their economy. The hateful bill that passed North Carolina has drawn opposition from hundreds of major employers who have said that putting transgender people at risk for discrimination is not just wrong, but bad for business."
In North Carolina, 200 companies have spoken out and demanded the repeal of HB2, which discriminates against transgender students and forces them to use restrooms inconsistent with their gender identity. Since North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed HB2 into law, the state has lost at least 1750 jobs and suffered millions of dollars in economic damage.
There is bipartisan opposition to laws that target transgender people. South Dakota's Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard vetoed a bill earlier this year that targeted transgender students for discrimination. A CNN/ORC poll recently found 6 in 10 people oppose laws like North Carolina's HB2, which discriminates against transgender people. Tennessee Gov. Haslam also previously spoke out against anti-transgender bills in the state.
One academic study this year found that restricting restrooms for transgender teens correlates with a high suicide rate. Similarly, another study this year found that transgender youth who are allowed to express their gender identity have good mental health outcomes.
Already, 18 states and the District of Columbia have laws on the books allowing transgender people equal protections and the ability to use the restroom that matches their gender identity. More than 75 percent of Fortune 500 companies have adopted similar policies and continued to function without the costly creation of new facilities or disruption of their businesses.
Multiple fact checkers have found that there have been no recorded examples of public safety incidents from these policies.
Last week, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education issued guidance for school districts to ensure transgender students are treated with dignity in public and federally-funded schools, including having equal access to restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity. While this guidance is consistent with previous guidelines and enforcement by the Departments, the treatment of transgender students has become national issue following the recent passage of the discriminatory HB2 law in North Carolina. Among its shameful provisions, HB2 prohibits public school students from using restrooms and other school facilities consistent with their gender identity.
For several years, the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice have been interpreting and enforcing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sex stereotyping as unlawful sex discrimination. Additionally the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit recently upheld the Department of Education's assertion that the nation's civil rights laws protect transgender students from discrimination, including in the provision of bathrooms.


text: Los Angeles Federal Drug Crime Attorney Federal Drug Crimes Lawyer in Los Angeles Many drug violations may be federal crimes, particularly when state or national borders are crossed. The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) may be involved in investigating federal drug crimes, and federal prosecutors will attempt to obtain a conviction and maximum penalties for the defendant. When facing federal drug crime charges, you will need an experienced and aggressive Los Angeles federal criminal defense attorney on your side. At Okabe & Haushalter, we have the knowledge and experience needed in order to defend clients facing federal drug violations. Facing a drug charge in federal court is more serious and complex than facing a charge in state court. Federal prosecutors have "first dibs" on drug crime cases in California, and thus can pick and choose which cases they will pursue. They may choose higher-profile cases or those which are more likely to result in a conviction. Federal Drug Crimes in Los Angeles Drug trafficking, distribution and importation are all offenses which may be pursued by federal agencies and prosecutors. Additionally, large marijuana distributors (even those for medical marijuana) may be targeted by federal authorities in an attempt to press federal drug violation charges. These offenses typically involve large quantities of controlled substances, narcotics or illegal prescription drugs being imported or exported to and from California or internationally. Drug Trafficking & Importation Defense Lawyer The Los Angeles federal drug crime attorneys at our firm may be able to help you if you are facing drug violations charges involving any of the following: Drug Possession Drug Sale Drug Distribution Drug Manufacturing Drug Cultivation Drug Trafficking Drug Import/Export Drug Transportation Drug Possession for Sale Prescription Drug Cases Medical Marijuana Cases If you are facing any type of federal drug violation charge, you can benefit by consulting a Los Angeles federal defense lawyer at our firm. Our lawyers believe in our clients' innocence and use our skill and persistence to defend their rights in federal court. Although federal drug crime cases are often more complex and difficult to defend than state drug crime cases, our lawyers always give their all and use every resource in defending our clients' rights. Contact a Los Angeles federal defense lawyer at our firm regarding your drug violation case!

What's a good rifle for someone who has never shot a gun before?
I will mainly use it for self defense in my own house and I will go to the shooting range to learn
also nothing illegal
I am looking at this or maybe an ak47
Most rifles will be too powerful for indoor use. Unless you want to go .22, but I don't recommend that. You need to take into account what's inside your house and what's outside. If you're in condo with a shared wall, you could shoot right into your neighbor's living space. You can even do that if you're in a single family detached house. Rifle bullets travel a lot farther than pistol bullets or shot.
Consider a shotgun instead....
If you really want to start with a rifle, I'd suggest a .22lr from Ruger, Marlin, CZ or other major manufacturer. You can spend $10 on ammo and shoot for half a day. Great way to practice and hone your skills for something bigger in the future. A .22lr would not be an ideal home defense weapon, it's training tool to learn the proper skills.
For home defense, especially for a new shooter, a shotgun is hard to beat. You will still need to practice using it. Loaded with the right ammo, a shotgun will be the right tool for the job. For specific models, I always advise a Remington 870, or Mossberg 500. Sort of the Ford and Chevy pickup of firearms. They can be used to hunt birds to big game and then reloaded/reconfigured for protection purposes.
Best advise is to practice, practice, practice...
Shoot several rifles that your INSTRUCTOR will bring to your training class. That will give you a better idea of what suits your purposes. Rifles are not generally thought of as personal protection firearms. ;)
Ok lets look at this first. Before I start telling you what to get.
Rifles are not very good for home defence. They are either way over powered or under powered their is really no in between ground here. Rifle cartridges are much faster than pistol rounds. Also most rifle bullets are meant to penetrate into game animals. Penetration is not something you want a lot of in a CQB situation. Plus unless you want to get a class III rifle they are going to be a bit unwieldy in a house. About the only place you can get away with a rifle for a HD gun is if you live out in the stick and own a lot of land.
If you're looking for a rifle to learn to shoot with, I'd get a Savage 93 in .17HMR. Accurate, inexpensive and loads of fun to shoot. Just get a Mossberg 500 or a Maverick 88 for home defense.
I have to disagree with the philosophy of rifles being TOO POWERFUL for HD use. Yes a .30-06 with 150 gr M-2 FMJ's will penetrate far too much for HD use. 7.62 X 39 steel core FMJ's will penetrate too much for HD use. A good reliable .223 (AR-15) loaded with light (55 gr or lighter) hollow points will penetrate less than a 9mm handgun. I have seen several people shot with light HP's in the chest from an AR and none had an exit wound. The bullet will fragment and stay in the body.
Everyone seems to use 5.56 mm FMJ's as their basis for condemning the .223. We are not in the Military and do not have to use such ammo. There are a number of very good rounds available for .223/5.56 rifles that would be perfectly appropriate for HD use.
WTS, I prefer a 12 ga pump loaded with buckshot for HD use.
a maverick 88 short bbl. is perfect. load it with birdshot , it will take care of the bad guy with out goin through the walls and hurting someone else.:)
Why do you want a rifle and not a handgun?
Get a cheap shotgun for home defense, then get a .22 handgun or rifle for range fun. Ammo is plentiful, cheap, and most importantly, the recoil is minimal.
The last thing you want is to get a hand cannon, fire it, get scared of your own gun and end up flinching before every shot. I know guys that flex their "gun muscles" by going out and buying a .45 caliber, then going to the range and they keep shooting the paper silhouette in the family jewels.
Get a shotty for home defense (Maverick 88, Mossberg 500, Remington 870), and a couple of 22's to learn. Look at some Rugers... They are 100% reliable, inexpensive and tons of fun. A Ruger 22/45 makes a good pistol and a Ruger 10/22 makes an AWESOME rifle. Not as pretty or fancy as some, but when you need it to go BANG, it will.

Tamara Mellon: 'Vogue was stressful'
Tamara Mellon remembers working at Vogue being like an episode of TV show Gossip Girl.
The co-founder of Jimmy Choo was a fashion assistant and accessories editor the British version of the glossy magazine from 1990 to 1995, shooting editorials with the top models of the day.
As glamorous as the job was, Tamara admits it wasn't without its pitfalls.
"Working at Vogue at this time was a bit like being in an episode of Gossip Girl," she smiled to the publication. "There was always somebody crying in the bathroom. And it was stressful: once I did a shoot assisting (fashion director) Lucinda Chambers, with Nick Knight and Christy Turlington. Christy was wearing a Chanel couture sequins look and they poured a bucket of water over her because they wanted this wet look. I had to return the wet couture and the PR went mad – terrifying, but we did anything to get the right picture."
Tamara was headhunted by the magazine when she was 23, and recalls how insecure she was when she joined the team. However the designer says that was normal for Vogue workers, who all loved fashion but never felt confident.
To celebrate the fashion bible turning 100, Tamara was happy to share her top Vogue memories, including working with Naomi Campbell.
"I remember seeing Naomi come out of the room at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles in the morning with no make-up on, two little braids, and she looked so cute," she reminisced. "But after hair and make-up, she just transformed into this total glamazon – it was amazing. "

Brooklyn, N.Y. The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce released findings on Thursday from its 2009 Brooklyn Labor Market Review that showed the New York borough has experienced job growth in some sectors in spite of losses citywide.
The review projected that New York City overall will lose 115,000 jobs in 2009, while Brooklyn's job loss is expected to be 8,500, a 1.9% decline and about half that of the city overall.
With respect to retail, the review detailed recent expansion in the borough's retail sector -- good news, said the report, since the borough has been under-retailed compared with the national norm as reported in the 2006 review. At that point there were 6 sq. ft. per capita of retail space, compared with 19 ft. or 20 ft. per capita of retail space in other states.
The 2009 Review shows that Brooklyn now has one in every five retail jobs in New York City; it also projects that Brooklyn will lose 1,000 retail jobs this year, compared with 10,000 citywide.
"Brooklyn continues to weather the economic storm and will emerge well-positioned to resume growing," said Carl Hum, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. "The borough shows strength in a number of sectors, such as professional services, tourism, retail and educational services."
Further, the opening of new hotels and the increase in housing and restaurants are projected to help keep employment flat in these sectors that traditionally suffer in a downturn.
"Even though our economy continues to contract, job losses in Brooklyn continue to be at a far slower pace than the rest of the city," said Dr. James Parrott, chief economist for the Fiscal Policy Institute.
The Chamber commissioned the Fiscal Policy Institute to analyze the borough's labor and economic landscape.
