Cardiff Central Library (Welsh: Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd), is the main library in the city centre of Cardiff, Wales. Four buildings have been named as such, with the newest building opening on 14 March 2009 and officially being opened a few months later on 18 June 2009 by the Manic Street Preachers.[1] The first Cardiff library was opened in 1861 as the Cardiff Free Library, later expanded and known as the Cardiff Free Library, Museum and Schools for Science and Art.

Cardiff Free Library (1861 to 1882)[edit]
In 1861, a free library was set up by voluntary subscription above the St Mary Street entrance to the Royal Arcade in Cardiff.[2] By 1862, the Public Libraries Act of 1855 allowed local councils with 5,000 inhabitants or more to raise a rate of one penny in the pound to provide a public library. Cardiff was the first town in Wales to establish a public library.[3]
Two years later in 1864, the library had moved to bigger premises in the now demolished YMCA building in St Mary Street. A School of Science and Art and a small museum was also added,[4] and so it became known as the Cardiff Free Library, Museum and Schools for Science and Art.[5]
Old Library (1882 to 1988)[edit]
The Old Library is located at the northern end of The Hayes. A public holiday was declared[6] when it was opened on 31 May 1882 by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, Alfred Thomas as the Cardiff Free Library, Museum and Schools for Science and Art, which included an art gallery.[7][8] A competition was held to choose a design for the Cardiff Free Library, Museum and Schools for Science and Art. The winning design was by architects James, Seward and Thomas, erected for just over £9,000.[5] The Schools of Science and Art were housed in the building until 1890 when it moved to buildings that were part of the University College.[9]
The building was further extended to the south fourteen years later, with a new south frontage designed by James, Seward & Thomas,[10] and was officially re-opened as the Central Library by the Prince of Wales on 27 July 1896.[11]
The entrance to the building featured a corridor lined with ornamental wall tiles, designed to depict the four seasons and night and morning. These tiles were impressed with coloured clay to give the impression of a mosaic.[7] This together with the stained glass installed throughout the building saw it become a Grade II* listed building.[12] The Old Library (as it is now known) still exists and is in used by the Cardiff Story and a tourist information centre.[13]
St David's Link (1988 to 2006)[edit]
The Central Library was moved to a new building located on St David's Link (Frederick Street), opposite what was then the multi-storey car park. The building was officially opened on 3 December 1988,[14] and occupied the upper storeys of the commercial complex, which were accessed via a polygonal vestibule at street level.[15]
The first floor contained the fiction and children's sections and reading library. The second floor contained the non-fiction section and the third floor housed the local history section.
The building was demolished in late 2006 together with the surrounding retail units to make way for the extension to St. David's Centre.[16]
Temporary building (2006 to 2009)[edit]
During the construction of the new building, library services were moved to temporary facilities on John Street which were officially opened on 1 September 2006.[16] Consisting of two separate buildings adjoining the Welsh National Opera, the front overlooking Bute Street, featured 6-metre (20 ft) tall hoardings illustrating the spines of a number of books identified as those most commonly borrowed from the library.[16]

Cardiff Free Library, Museum and Schools for Science and Art, now known as the Old Library (1882 to 1988)
Cardiff Central Library (2009– )[edit]
The present day Central Library building is located on The Hayes, cornered in between Mill Lane and Canal Street, opposite the St. David's 2 development. It occupies part of the car park previously used by the adjacent Marriott Hotel, and it was this site which gave rise to the building's triangular footprint.
Cardiff Council commissioned architects BDP to create a landmark buildings which symbolised the values of knowledge, learning and culture. Construction started in 2007.[17] The building cost £13.5 million to build and construction took 98 weeks involving nearly 1,200 workers. 2000m² of glass form part of the exterior walls. The length of shelving for the books totals 3 kilometres.[18] The project included 16000m² of restaurant units on the ground floor facing onto Mill Lane.[17]
It was opened on 14 March 2009[19] and on 18 June the Manic Street Preachers unveiled a plaque with the words "libraries gave us power", from their 1996 single A Design for Life.[20]
The library contained 55,000 ft (17,000 m) of space, 90,000 books, 10,000 of which are written in Welsh, and an additional 10,000 CDs and DVDs.[21]
Building features[edit]
The building was specifically designed to be energy-efficient, and includes a sedum grass roof to improve insulation and reduce rainwater run-off, coloured glass panels and solar shading to prevent excessive heat gains, and a full Building Management System to provide climate control to individual floors. As a result of these measures the building was awarded a BREEAM rating of 'excellent'.[22] Panels of brass cladding covered the side and rear facade of the library, intended to give the impression of leather-bound bookends.[17]
|This section needs to be updated. (April 2016)
There are a total of six floors with part of the ground floor housing three retail outlets, initially occupied by branches of Wagamama, Gourmet Burger Kitchen,[23] and Carluccio's.[24]
Each floor has public computers. Additionally, all floors except the ground floor have toilets and Wi-Fi. Lifts link all floors. Stairs also connect each floor, with an escalator running straight from the ground floor entrance foyer to the second floor.
- Ground floor
- The ground floor contains a reception, drop-off point for book returns and customer service centre for Cardiff Council, known as Connect to Cardiff.[25] This floor also has a Quick Pick section, containing popularly requested titles, and a pick up point for reserved books.
- First floor
- The first floor contains the children's library.[25]
- Second floor
- The second floor contains fiction, biographies, newspapers, large print and audio publications, and community language publications. A meeting room and display area are also located here.
- Third floor
- The third floor contains non-fiction, art, history, language, literature and music books. This floor also contains a grand piano which members of the public may play.
- Fourth floor
- The fourth floor houses non-fiction, humanities & sciences, law, transport, travel and food books, as well as a reference section. Local leaflets and information, including transport and tourist attractions are available on this floor. In addition to the second floor, the fourth floor also contains a meeting room.
- Fifth floor
- The fifth floor is used for the Cardiff Capital Collection with books on the history of Cardiff, the Wales Collection with books on the history of Wales, and Welsh-language publications. Also on this floor are an ICT suite and display suite.
Rare books sale controversy[edit]
To help fund the new Library, Cardiff Council planned to sell off the library's heritage book collection, dating from the 15th century. This provoked outrage amongst academics worldwide.[26] On 10 March 2010, a joint initiative of the council, Cardiff University, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) secured the books' future at Cardiff University.[27]

Social Exclusion And the Two-Tiered Healthcare System of Brazil
In Brazil, there exists a two-tiered system of healthcare access. Those with sufficient means have access to a private system of healthcare that provides quality treatment on demand, while the remainder of the country relies on an overburdened system of public clinics and hospitals. Household survey data are used to determine which socio-demographic groups rely most on this public healthcare system. Current demographic trends suggest that the public healthcare infrastructure will become more and more heavily used in the coming decades. A stylized model of healthcare choice is estimated, and its parameters are used to conduct counterfactual simulations of the welfare implications of this increased congestion, and of policies to offset it, like private healthcare subsidies.

Ireland Euro 2016 star touted by club legend as solution to crisis area in Liverpool squad
LIVERPOOL could do worse than recruiting the star of Ireland's Euro 2016 campaign to fill a glaring hole in their squad.
Robbie Brady caught all Irish eyes in France this summer and, while he may not be the ideal solution to Liverpool's problem left-back slot, I would have no problem if Reds manager Jurgen Klopp took the Dubliner to Anfield this summer.
Brady may not be the best left-back in the game, but his improvement at international level has been exceptional, and he would also bring a vital additional quality.
It was glaringly evident that Liverpool were lacking a set-piece expert throughout last season and Brady has the ability to knock a great ball into the box – he is also a threat breaking from his full-back slot.
I posted a message on my Twitter account during Euro 2016 suggesting Brady could be an option for Liverpool in the transfer market and it's fair to say the responses that came my way were far from positive.
Brady starred for Ireland during the country's run to the Euro 2016 round of 16
Yet in a market that is full of over-priced players, Liverpool could end up signing a defender that is no better than what they already have.
So I would be tempted to get Brady in as he will not need time to settle and will do a decent job.
In an ideal world, Klopp would bring in a proven left-back who has international experience, but he would have done that by now if there were plenty to sign out there.
In a market where everyone is over-priced, it must be tricky to sign good players, but Brady is an option if Klopp needs to make a signing in the next couple of weeks.
I know he has suggested James Milner could be an option in that full-back role, but we can see it is a problem area because Alberto Moreno is struggling and may need to take a step back and develop more before he is used as a regular in the team.
I'm optimistic about Liverpool's prospects for this season, but the left back problem needs to be solved if they are to realise the potential in this revamped team.

Shortness of breath, medically known as dyspnea, can feel like you just can't get enough air. It's also possible for stress to make your breathing more and more shallow without your knowing it—until you need to climb a flight of stairs and you wonder what happened to your lung capacity. There can be serious medical reasons for dyspnea—heart and lung and muscle conditions—but there are also nervous conditions, such as anxiety, that can stimulate the autonomic nervous system and cause hyperventilation.
Hyperventilation is when someone breathes too shallowly and doesn't breathe out fully so carbon dioxide and other waste products of breathing don't get expelled from the lungs. In the extreme, it becomes a medical problem and can cause loss of consciousness along with heart and digestive problems.
Breathing therapy can be effective for shallow breathing due to anxiety.
Nervous Breathing
Step 1
First assess whether the condition is medical or more emotional. If there has been an obvious emotional trauma with no physical trauma then it's likely it is "just nerves."
If pain, dizziness, fever or other symptoms accompany the shallow breathing, the condition is beyond breathing therapy. See a doctor.
Step 2
Practice deep breathing techniques at least twice a day. It has been proposed that deep breathing can reset the autonomic nervous system (from researchers at the Augusta Medical Center in Georgia). The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate, respiration rate, and digestion.
Step 3
[Note, the below exercises should be through the nose]
Practice "mindful breathing." Just sit quietly and be aware of the natural breath. Do not try to speed it up, slow it down, or deepen it. Just observe it. It will deepen on its own. This technique was developed by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese monk who teaches that noticing the breathing will lead to more relaxed breathing patterns
After the first few sessions of just concentrating on breath, it is likely you will begin to notice your breath at random times. If you notice the breath is shallow or quick, just spend a few moments observing it again, and, again, it is likely to slow down.
Step 4
Take a deep breath. Breathe out to a slow count of seven. Take another deep breath, breathe out to a slow count of 12.
As you breathe in, sit up straight and puff out your chest. As you breathe out, imagine yourself to be a balloon with a small hole, deflating ever so slowly. Let your body collapse.
Step 5
Sit and breathe. Hold your hand on your stomach and try to breathe so that the stomach rises with each breath. This can encourage breathing to go lower into the lungs.

The common Austrian vegetarian diet is based on foods made from vegetables and other non-animal ingredients. It is known that most types of cheese in Austria are non-vegetarian, and most of the ones that don't contain any ingredients of animal provenience are not labeled this way. Hence, people can easily give up to the idea of eating cheese. Fortunately, producers have started to label the vegetarian products, lately. The most important vegetarian foods and beverages are: Gluehwein - a traditional Austrian drink, Green Cabbage and Apple Sauté, Cold Wine Soup (Kalte Weinsuppe), Quark Spaetzle, Butterhorns (aka Rugelach/Rugulach/Snails/Schnecken), Chocolate Viennese Biscuits and Schaum Torte - Sea foam Cake.

I'm new here - and identify as mono to boot, so maybe this opinion is not welcome but I wanted to offer a different point of view on his use of possessive language.
Possessive language is so ingrained in our culture that for many people, it is often the goto way to express other feelings. Esp if this was said in the heat of an argument. When intense feeling of jealously, insecurity or abandonment are involved, it's easy to pick the words that come to mind quickly, ones we know from tv, movies or books, and they may not tell the whole story.
He may not mean "as long as your mine..." in terms of dictating your actions or beliefs, he may mean "as long as I stay your primary" or a host of other things. I can't tell your for sure if he wants to possess you without meeting him first-hand, but talk with him about what he really means by that before jumping to any conclusions.
Why is this my opinion? Because I've used this language before - usually while distressed and always without thinking first.

Small dogs such as the Maltese and Chihuahua are sometimes good swimmers, but may become easily chilled or frightened in the water, which can increase the risk of drowning. I had a friend who's chihuahua liked to swim. She was one out of a million though! Most, don't like to swim…it can also be dangerous. They are too small to fight against waves, or currents.
This one looks pretty cute in the bath though. And obviously supervised too!
You work too hard for your money to throw it all away on full price when you don't have to!

For high-powered personal injury attorney Noah Byron, the good things in life come with a price tag - cars, houses, women. That's why he represents only cases that come with the possibility of a nice cut of the action. But as a favor to his ex-wife, he meets with the mother of twelve-year-old Joel, a boy poisoned by tainted children's medicine. While the official story is that a psycho tampered with bottles, the boy's mother believes something much more sinister is at work...and the trail leads right back to the pharmaceutical company.
As Noah digs deeper into the case, he quickly finds himself up against a powerful corporation that will protect itself at any cost. He also befriends young Joel and breaks the number one rule of personal injury law: don't make it personal. Faced with the most menacing of opponents and the most vulnerable of clients, Noah is determined to discover the truth and win justice for Joel - even if it means losing everything else.

Great Court Room Drama
- Jean
Don't bother!!
This is not a legal thriller, but it is a sappy little love story suitable for 13 year olds. I'm not an attorney but I am under the impression that the prosecution's witness, while on the stand, would not be allowed to lecture and belittle the plaintiff's attorney, and I seriously doubt the plaintiff's attorney would have taken it. Moreover, such a lecture would not have wrecked the plaintiff's case, as it did in the book. Ok, that's the worst part. Halfway through the book I was thinking MAYBE 3 stars. The book went downhill from there. I would not have finished the book had I not been on a long drive.
The narrator has a good voice, but he delivers every sentence as if he is leading a cavalry charge. I would not listen to another book by this narrator (nor by the author).
However, if you are looking for a good legal thriller, I would recommend "Death On A High Floor". I've listened to it twice, a year apart, and enjoyed both times. The plot is intricate and the narration is excellent.

Early Learning - Sale
|The Early Learning Centre Program is an excellent beginning for young children as they embark on their journey through school and life. The Early Learning Program is tailored to meet the needs of each age group and ensures that your child's first schooling experience is a positive and happy one.
The Gippsland Grammar Early Learning Centre philosophy is to create a caring and creative learning environment that challenges and extends your child in these vital years of intellectual, social, spiritual and physical growth. By providing a rich learning environment, the children are encouraged to become confident thinkers and problem solvers. They are immersed in an environment which provides plenty of early literacy and numeracy experiences, with a focus on speaking, listening and concentration. While the Early Learning Centre has its own safe enclosed area within the St Anne's Campus of Gippsland Grammar, the children are able to see and interact with the older children and become very comfortable with the idea of being a part of the 'big school' from an early age.
Reception GroupThe Reception Program for three year olds is the first of many happy, exciting and enjoyable years of learning in a formal educational setting which will see every child reach their full potential. A relaxed, warm and happy environment where all children feel safe, secure and valued enables children to explore and develop a wide range of skills whilst gaining confidence and positive feelings about themselves. The Program aims to encourage children to experiment, investigate and discover through a variety of hands-on and open-ended activities. Planned activities each week aim to develop a variety of skills in language and literature, nature and science, music and movement, small and large motor coordination, as well as cooperation, sharing, caring and negotiation.
Pre Prep Group
The Pre-Prep Program for four year olds is the next step in your child's preparation for school. The children begin to move around the Junior School, using the Library and attending specialist lessons in Music as well as participating in a Perceptual Motor Program - all activities they will build on during their years at Gippsland Grammar.
Each child in the Pre-Prep Program has their own special Year 5 friend who they work with weekly. During their Pre-Prep year, the children become very confident in moving around the school with the support of the Early Learning Centre Staff. The children also work formally and informally with the Prep Class and the Prep Teacher throughout the year.
Allocation of Early Learning Centre places
Priority will be given to children who have siblings already attending Years Prep to 6 at the St Anne's Campus of Gippsland Grammar. Places will then be allocated to children who are already enrolled at Gippsland Grammar for Prep in a future year and have paid the Prep Holding fee; then by date of receipt of Early Learning Centre application.

Reviews for Special Rhubarb Cake
Average Rating
"Very moist and I did use about 3 cups of rhubarb, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. This turned out extremely well for myself who is not a baker. Vanilla sauce is devine !!I love the fact that it's a 9 x 9 pan, suitable for a smaller gathering."
"Awesome. It doesn't get better than this."
"This was one of the best rhubard cakes my husband said he has ever had...it will be added to one of our favorites for sure ...It was so moist and flavorfull and so easy to make. We like a little more tartness in our cake so I am going to add another 1/2 cup of rhubarb the next time I bake it. Otherwise, it was perfect!!!"
"excellent cake, moist tasty and the sauce was to die for"
"This is a keeper. I have made it over and over. quick to make,take it anywhere, all will love it"
"Excellent! Thanks for sharing! I cut back a tad on the sugar and ended up putting in all of the rhubarb (approx 3 cups) that I chopped. Found it to be very moist and delicious!"
"This is good. I love the sauce. cake is a little dry but very tasty."
"I made this cake about a month ago to try it out and was very impressed. So I decided to make it again today but instead of rhubarb I used fresh cranberries and I added the zest of 2 oranges to the sauce. It was a success!!"
"This has been a favorite family recipe for years now. Thank you for sharing."
"Very good! I didn't make the sauce, was serving the cake later and didn't want it to be soggy. But it was awesome even without the sauce. Very moist and not crumbly at all. Flavor was there, but not overpowering and too tart. Was perfect."
"Pleasantly surprised at how nice this cake was. My 10 year-old daughter now likes rhubarb. Next time I will use smaller pieces of rhubarb."
"This cake was a hit! I had a bunch of rhubarb in the freezer and a church potluck. I thought making something with rhubarb could be risky; I love it, but I know a lot of people don't. I made it anyway - I doubled it and put it in a 9x13 pan. I came home with about 3 pieces! One lady told me it was the best thing she ever tasted and several wanted the recipe."
"Wow! A good moist cake and the sauce adds an extra yummy touch. My family gives it a definite thumbs up!"
"Ive made this quite a few times. We have a big rhubarb patch and have made lots of recipes on this site. Nice cake for brunch."

West Virginia state Sen. Evan Jenkins announced Wednesday that he is switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party and will challenge longtime Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) in 2014.
"West Virginia is under attack from Barack Obama and a Democratic Party that our parents and grandparents would not recognize," Jenkins said. "I am proud to join the Republican Party in fighting Washington's assault on our state, our freedoms, and our jobs."
Jenkins is the latest in a growing number of Democrats from Southern state legislatures to make the switch — with many of them coming in Louisiana and Mississippi, in particular.
Many state legislative chambers that had long been held by Democrats have gone Republican in recent years, though West Virginia remains a notable holdout.
Rahall, who was first elected nearly four decades ago, represents a district that went 65 percent for Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. Despite holding conservative territory, Rahall has often avoided serious challenges and defeated state Del. Rick Snuffer (R) 54 to 46 last year.
But the recent history of party-switchers is not good. Rahall himself easily beat another party-switcher, former state Supreme Court justice Spike Maynard, in 2010.
That same year, Rep. Parker Griffith (Ala.) lost a GOP primary and Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) lost a Democratic primary after switching parties.
West Virginia Democratic Party Chairman Larry Puccio made clear that Democrats will cast Jenkins as an opportunist.
"After years of supporting Congressman Rahall, it is clear Evan Jenkins is loyal only to the dollar," Puccio said. "When Washington Republican money came a knockin', Jenkins went a walkin'.
"It is a shame that Evan is allowing money and politics to influence his misguided attempt to further his personal political ambition."
Prior to Jenkins, Republicans unsuccessfully attempted to recruit state Sen. Bill Cole into the race.
The Cook Political Report rates Rahall's seat as "likely Democratic."

Wire breaks are a common problem in the electric dog fence industry. Throughout our 20+ years selling and installing in-ground dog fence systems, we've dealt with our fair share and we can tell you that the vast majority of wire breaks occur in factory-grade wire installations. Using a heavier wire with a polyethylene jacket is the best way to avoid wire breaks and the hassle they create.
The factory-grade dog fence wire sold by the dog fence manufacturers has a thin weather resistant vinyl coating that is pretty susceptible to damage caused by freeze/thaw cycles, tree roots, rodents, etc. This 14-gauge dog fence wire features a polyethylene coating that is waterproof and far more resilient than vinyl. Our 14-gauge underground fence wire is perfect for rocky soil, heavily treed areas, and even extreme climates.
By upgrading the wire on your electric dog fence system, you'll be protecting your investment for years to come. With our 14-Gauge Heavy Duty Dog Fence Wire you'll ensure that your dogs remain protected and save yourself the time, hassle, and expense of locating and repairing a wire break.

Comment / Questions about Heavy Duty 14-Gauge Dog Fence Wire (1500 ft)
what's the physical difference between the XW & the HD ? & what conditions would make one decide to upgrade to the XW?....I hear 14 gage is a lot more difficult to work with / install/ than the 20....how so ? and is it that significantly more difficult ? & finally is 14 gauge compatible (will it fit into?) a PetSafe RF- 125 transmitter?
The XW wire is our eXtreme brand 14 gauge wire with a 60 mil jacket and the HD will have a 45 mil jacket. They will both operate the same but the heavier jacket is designed to give the wire the maximum protection and longest durability. The 14 gauge wire is a bit more effort to work with but definitely worth it. The 20 gauge wire has a lifespan of about 2 years under normal conditions before having to search for and repair wire breaks and the entire perimeter will generally need to be replaced at least twice in the lifespan of your dog. In contrast our eXtreme brand wire is designed to last over 20 years left undisturbed. The PetSafe transmitters are designed to accommodate wire sizes from 14 to 20 gauge. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact one of our tech experts at (800) 396-5517,
you confirmed the 14 gauge is a bit more difficult to install than a 20 gauge would be ? but you didn't say why ? what makes it more difficult & could it still be installed by one person?
The 14 gauge wire is a bit more effort to work with but definitely worth it. Because thicker 14 gauge wire is stiffer, so while they may be more durable, they can be more difficult to work with. Professionals agree that the 14 gauge is inflexible compared to 20 gauge wire. Professional grade 14 gauge dog fence wire holds up better to freezing conditions, sunlight exposure, contraction and expansion of the ground, water exposure and general wear and tear. One person will be able to install 14 gauge wire by themselves when installing a dog fence.
I will be replacing 6 acres of 18g wire due to breakage. We will rent the wire burying trench tool, will the 14 g with 60 mil fit in that machine?
Hello Crystal,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I do not see that being a problem, a lot of our customer's use a trenching machine. If you want to be 100% sure you can call and see how much area you have to place the wire in the trencher. Let me know if you have any further questions, I would love to help.
Have a nice day.

Our Services
Our restorations are professional. We DON'T use a cheap implement paint, but high quality automotive paints. We are fussy in what kind of a finished product we send out of our shop. We hear, "the metal is straight and no dents". Once primed and painted, the metal that was "straight with no dents" may look like your tractor went through a hail storm. We will eliminate any of those blemishes before painted. We want your project to look BETTER than what is did when it came off the assembly line.
We want your project to look outstanding as it is our reputation, you and others, are looking at! If we are not satisfied, we know you will not be satisfied.
Please remember, this is not like taking your damaged car to the auto body shop, paying the insurance deductible, and letting your insurance company pay the balance of the bill.
We want you to be very content with our quality of work. We strive to the highest quality of satisfaction!
The shop is busy!!!! We have a restoration completed for the Upper Midwest A-C Club for their show called the Orange Spectacular held in Hutchinson, MN. It is an Allis-Chalmers D10

Other breast leaks while nursing: what can I do?
If one side is leaking while your nursing use breast pads. When you first start breast feeding your body may over produce, have a fast let down.
If you can pump during or before breast feeding into breast milk storage bags, save the milk for when you'll need it. It shouldn't leak too much but have extra pads handy. I have 3 nursing bras and lots breast pads. I use to pump and save it but lately I haven't had any extra leakage.
I use to catch my leakage in a little bottle and use it on baby cereal with my older ones. :) No pumping necessary! It was nice.
I've never thought to pump while feeding.... great idea though!
I had to do that at one point, pump while feeding. It didn't last for a long time, maybe a week? But it was not fun to do both at one time. You do what you have to do though!
I never had this problem, but I've heard of products you can use to catch the milk and save it for baby. :)

ALMA MEDIA CORP. STOCK EXC. BULLETIN 5 APRIL 2000, 10.00 (EET) 1/3 ALMA MEDIA TO OPEN MOBILE PORTAL ON 30 APRIL 2000 An operator- and hardware-independent mobile portal will be opened on 30 April 2000 providing access to Alma Media's news, information, entertainment and experience services. The new portal,based on WAP and SMS services, will also operate in GPRS and UMTS environments. Some of the services will be financed by advertising. M-commerce and personalized interface features will be added in September. Alma Media is Finland's leading provider of new media content. Its online services had more than 511 000 visitors in the last week of March. At the same time the AHAA customer database, which supports all Alma Media online services, had over 513 000 registered users, while altogether 1.5 million visits were made to the individual products during the same week. Direct contact with customers is the principle underlying Alma Media's new-media strategy and development of its online products and services. So far, media access management has been possible in online services based on fixed networks. The new mobile portal now makes media access management possible through mobile services. The portal will initially be based on WAP services and short- message services (SMS), but provision has already been made to deploy broadband mobile networks in a year's time. Development of the new mobile portal started in September 1999. The first pilot version was launched at the start of 2000. It is available to all customers of teleoperators operating in Finland and it will provide WAP users with a single point of access to all Alma Media's mobile services. The mobile portal will rely on the AHAA database and its patented features relating to personal privacy and personalized services. NEWS, PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES FOR INVESTORS, ENTERTAINMENT The mobile portal will offer a comprehensive range of services when launched on 30 April 2000. MTV3 Internet will provide general news items, sports and entertainment news, and recipes. Information on television programmes will come from MTV3's Teletext channel, while other services will include Iltalehti's news and a calendar of events. Kauppalehti Online will provide real-time business news, real-time trading on the Helsinki Exchanges, and complete service packages related to trust funds, foreign exchange and interest instruments. The portal will also contain a section for pure entertainment allowing WAP phone users, for instance, to obtain a variety of icons. Use of the mobile portal has been made as easy as possible. Users will register via the portal's home page, after which they will be able to access the portal's services by entering their personal AHAA user code. They can also register via Alma Media's other Internet pages. Mobile portal customers will be able to pay for the service through their teleoperators, or by using online banking services or being billed separately. PARTLY FINANCED BY ADVERTISING Some of the mobile portal services will be free of charge. A new feature will also be short-message services (SMS) financed by advertising and therefore free of charge for users. Users will be able to receive free, for example, the latest news headlines, sports news, cinema and entertainment news or even their horoscope by accepting that they will also be sent one advertising message every day. MOBILE TRADING AND PERSONALIZED SERVICES IN SEPTEMBER The portal's range of services will be substantially expanded in September. New services will include personalized products guaranteeing user privacy and a billing system based on prices for individual pages. Both these services will rely on the AHAA database. The first m-commerce service will be the opportunity to make last- minute reservations offered by travel agents. A forwarding service for messages with a maximum of 140 characters will be added to Kauppalehti's service portfolio, while an entirely new service for the mobile portal will be the Luukku.wap Finnish-language e-mail connection. TELEVISION PICTURES AND SOUNDS THROUGH THE PORTAL IN ONE YEAR According to Mr Raimo Mäkilä, President of Alma Media's New Media business area, the mobile portal will ensure that all possible ditribution channels will be made available to the Group's content products. The next step will be linking television pictures and sounds to the services. Consumers will be able to enjoy the audio and video mobile services developed by MTV3 and Radio Nova within one year, states Raimo Mäkilä. Alma Media is already testing new- generation services for wireless mobile terminals with various equipment manufacturers and operators. SEAMLESS LINK TO DIGITAL TELEVISION Alma Media began a concerted programme of investment in new media research and development back in 1993, states Alma Media Corporation's President and CEO Matti Packalen. In 1999 the company became the leading Finnish provider of online products for wired networks, measured in terms of number of users. Most of Alma Media's network services are the result of its own R&D efforts and operate alongside the Group's traditional printed media. The new mobile portal marks a natural step towards GPRS and UMTS environments based on broadband technology and digital television. Central to Alma Media's online and mobile services is its AHAA customer management database. Launched in September 1999, this database supports all these services and enables personalized services without jeopardizing user privacy. The system, which is protected by registered and pending patents, forms a complete entity combining conventional media, online products, mobile products and digital television. The system facilitates development of products according to customers' specifications as well as enabling the use of new commercial applications in content sales and e-media advertising, Mr Packalen states.

PENDOLARE - Side Mower
From Disk Mower
Side mower coupled with the tractor with three-point connection, second category. The primary transmission is made by a multiplier in an oil bath placed under the attack of the rudder, while the secondary transmission is made by gears in an oil bath. The cutting height adjustment is accomplished with the third point of the tractor.The cutting unit consists of a central swing suspension with a dual shock spring that allows a constant adjustment of the weight on the ground and allows to the cutting bar to follow the soil profile for a clean cut.With the non-stop security system you can continue to cut also in case of impact without having to stop the tractor as the system allows the mower to move back and standing up to automatically hang up once past the obstacle.The mower is designed to be transported back to the tractor and horizontal to the ground with vertical folding (the latter on request) using an hydraulic jack. In both cases, the mower is in the shape of the tractor.
Most popular related searches
Double spring shock absorbers allow setting the best weight for the mower to mantain even pressure on the ground, always living a clean cut without damaging the grassy surface.
The machines are all fitted with the "Non-Stop" safety release, which means you can continue to cut without stopping the machine and with no need to go backwards if an obstacle is found. It is automatically rearmed, without assistance from the operator or the hydraulic system.
Standard transport the machine swing to rear. Optional transport the machine rises vertical. The single acting cylinder I used to raise the mower for transport. It has an automatic lock that can be released with a rope from the tractor.
High performance cutting mechanism
The cutting bar is projected in a very flat way and has an integrated C profile which prevents the flexing of the bar and permits a good penetration in each kind of crops
Main support
Assembled in one module to the cover with six bolts to maximize the strength of the support it lets you easily inspect inside the cutter bar and quickly carry out the disk drive module maintenance in a few minutes without opening the cutter bar. Bearings with strong stress transmissibility can bear the greatest shear strains and the bearings are spaced to enhance resilience.
Heavy thickness with an integrated reinforcement. This application helps to prevent the flexing of the cutting bar, to avoid the twisting of moving parts, especially on uneven terrain. The cover has an angular profile for a good penetration in the high-density forages and this avoid frontal stoppages. Oil capacity: this leads to an improved lubrication, a faster cooling and an efficient movement.
Round disk
Hot forged steel round disks provides a good cutting quality in all conditions and they also require less power. The size allows further setback from the stones that are struck. Round disks do not offer resistance to any obstacles and do not transmit stress or strain to the cutting mechanism. The forged steel blades are particularly resistant and do not bend or flex. Blades are fixed with strong high resistance bolts.
The rubber conditioner is ideal for conditioning certain crops, such as clover, alfalfa and legume which all require a more delicate treatment. It is made up of steel rollers covered with a layer of rubber, which delicately treat the product. The roller action lightly crushes the leaves or open stems, allowing rapid humidity evaporation from the plant.
They are fitted on swinging arms and connected to the bottom roller by springs, the top roller lifts up if a foreign body is found in its field of action. The transmission to the conditioning rollers is through gears to guarantee synchronism. The tension of the engine rollers and the distance between them are set on the basis of the harvest. The helical profile guarantees delicate conditioning for very leafy products.
The V whip conditioner in nylon, means that the forage is correctly treated, considerably reducing the time required for drying, whether it is to be used for producing hay or for ensiling. If you choose a Marangon RCF conditioning mower, you are certain of many advantages like less risk in bad weather, reduced number of operations, less waste due to crumbling.
What's more, the V nylon whip conditioners can also be used, by adjusting the rotor speed, on the most delicate plants, because the product is delicately treated without breaking. Transmission to the conditioner is simple and strong, made up of four SPB belts with automatic turnbuckle. Conditioning intensity can be adjusted by a variable position lever. The whip fixing allows simple maintenance of the rotor and easy replacement.

This is the fourth tutorial in our UFT tutorial series. In this tutorial, we will learn all about various menus found in UFT IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.
In our case, UFT IDE is the application that you see when you double click on UFT desktop icon to launch the tool.
To learn and master UFT, you need to understand everything that happens inside this interface. Inside UFT IDE, we can record and run UFT scripts, write VB Script to enhance recorded scripts, connect to 3rd party tools like ALM and more!
UFT Menus
Like a typical windows based application, UFT has a:
- Title Bar: Displays the path and name of current open test.
- Menu Bar: Displays the menu available for your IDE. We will discuss in detail all settings and options available in the menu bar.
- Tool Bar: Displays the important options available in menu in the form of buttons. Once you get a hang of UFT, you will be using tool bar buttons often.
Menu Bar
It is always a good idea to start from scratch while learning any new technology. This gives you firm grasp on the concepts and helps you later while you are into more advanced learning. In this section, we will learn all available sub-menus under the Menu bar.
File Menu
- New: Using File –>New, you can create a new Test, Business Component, Solution, Function Library or an Application Area. We will see each of these in detail in the coming tutorial but for now just remember this location and various document types that can be created in UFT.
- Open: Using this option, you can open an already created Test, Business Component, Solution, Function Library, Application Area or any file type that can be opened in UFT.
- Add: You can add a new Test, Business Component, Function Library, Application Area to a Solution. While we will talk about Solution Pane in detail later, for now think about
Solutionas a binder where you can hold all your testing artifacts at one place for easy access.
- Close: Close the currently opened asset in the view. Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + F4
- Close Solution: Close the Solution. Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + F4
- Save <Test Name>: Save the current test.

- Settings: This comes up as a dialog bar and consists some of the most frequently used settings in a UFT test. We will see this option in a detailed separate tutorial later.
- Export Test: Export a test into a zip format.
- Import Test: Import a test from a zip format.
- Exit: Close UFT application.
Edit Menu
There are some regular options which are found in any windows based application, meanings of which are self evident:
- Undo
- Redo
- Cut
- Copy
- Paste
- Delete
There are two more options which you should note:
- Format: Out of all the options present under Format (as shown below), you would be using Comment and Uncomment more often. Learn
Ctrl+Shift+Mkeyboard shortcuts by heart.
- Code Snippet: This is a helpful tool for
VB Scriptbeginners. Using Code Snippet option, you can quickly copy syntax for various types of conditional and logical statements found in VB Script.

Ants! Where Do I Store My Fondant Pieces To Dry?
Business By mbark Updated 6 Oct 2010 , 7:55pm by costumeczar
Ok so we just moved to a bigger & better house, which I have come to discover is over-run with ants! They especially love fondant, grrr. I just posted a picture of my plaid apples dummy cake I did for the CC magazine's September issue which I had stored in my pantry and they swarmed all over it.
Anyway, it gets me thinking- how am I going to make fondant or gumpaste pieces and let them dry overnight? They have to be in a non-airtight container to dry, but the ants will get them if I leave them out (ask me how I know).
Has anyone had this issue & how did you deal with it?
I am seriously considering using an exterminator to really get rid of the ants..
Get the exterminator...I use Terminix and it's about $90 every 3 months. You'll save your sanity. And your figures. In the meantime, maybe put them in a deep pot covered with paper towels and put it in your bedroom or some place other than the kitchen where ants love to hang out.
The problem is that fondant needs and open area to dry. If you store them in a box they wont ever dry. You might need to find a spot where the ants are not there yet. And most definitively..get terminex!
I usually put the cakes in a cake saver. If your cake can fit i suggest it
If this helps, there are lots of threads on CC about ants... I read that Terro Ant Bait is the best and can solve your problem by tonight. You can find it at Walgreen's and hardware stores.
A temporary, but messy fix is to sprinkle cinnamon and cloves around the perimeter that you want to keep ant free. The good news: this really works. The bad news: they may migrate to another not sprinkled with the spices. Your only true fix is to call an exterminator. They will get rid of the problem at the root.
I once read that someone was having a problem with ants, and someone offered this solution:
Set up a card table, or other small table and put your fondant pieces on top of it. Put each table leg in a bowl full of water. The ants can't cross the water, so your pieces are safe.
Obviously, you don't want your fondant pieces near water while they're drying, but this keeps the water far enough away from the pieces, as opposed to putting a plate of drying pieces in a pan of water, which would also keep ants away!
I have an exterminator, I love my exterminator, I don't think I could live in my house if it wasn't for him, he is worth every penny (spiders). *Shudder*
Many varieties of ants eat sugars, as a baker, no matter how clean you keep your kitchen there is still going to be something for those little buggers to find in cracks, under appliances, sugar dust, etc...
Get the exterminator, the expense is worth your pieces and Sanity.
I use the water solution and it works every time.... takes up a lot of counter space, but I usually have like four or five glasses in bowls of water with cake or gumpaste trays on top Works like a charm!!
For sure, the exterminator! We had ants in our house a few years ago and they came in a got rid of them.
oh what great ideas! thanks everyone! I'll look into the exterminator but the bowls of water idea is fantastic!
The bowls of water is genius!
Until you get the exterminator, get yourself a bottle of Orange Guard. It's concentrated orange oil. Ants hate it. The great news is that it can be used around food, pets and children!
I spray a line of it along the back of my counter where it meets the wall. Much neater and more effective than cinnamon (been there, done that). Doesn't smell as good as cinnamon, but it smells like ORANGE and not POISON.
I get it at my local nursery.
Also if you outline the area by dabbing some petroleum jelly around the container or on the counter. The ants wont be able to pass through the stickyness. my mom does this for me all the time.
oh you guys are the best! thanks for all the tips! truly appreciated. I had not thought of a solution on my own & was really getting worried!
You can put fondant and gumpaste in the oven with just the light on. So, the oven is OFF and the light is ON. This not only speeds up the drying process, but is sealed to keep those little buggers out.
I have ants in the spring, and I found they do not like bay leaves. I made some 4" wreaths covered with bay leaves and hung them under my cabinet, and if I have cakes or fondant figures, I just lay a few by them. It has worked very well.
Also, every spring and fall I spray the foundation (outside) with Raid Max and it helps keep them from coming in. (It also helps with spiders!)
Bay leaves, vaseline, water, orange spray, cinnamon. I'm picturing you using all of that together. In my imagination, it looks like a setting for an exorcism. LMBO
haha, well I was picturing the fondant on a card table with all 4 legs in bowls of water & the ants making some ant chain to drop down from the ceiling onto the table (Mission Impossible theme song playing in my head LOL)
If you really want to get rid of the ants you'll have to find the nest, so the exterminator is a good bet. The Terro works really well, because they'll carry it back to the nest and it kills the colony. Preventing them from getting to your fondant is one thing, but you really do want to just make the effort to kill the colony once and for all (until they start another one, then it's back to the drawing board.)
If you're patient, you should try to follow the trail back to where they're coming from and find out how they're getting in. Put the terro near their entry point, and wait a couple of days. They should stop showing up FAST after the terro is out, though. Once they're gone you can seal up any cracks in the caulking, under windows, etc. Caulk is your friend in keeping them outside.

On November 15, citizens from across the province will be asked to elect their local government representatives. We invite you to vote for the arts in your communities!
Policies set in place by local governments have a direct impact on how communities operate, develop and define themselves. This has particular resonance for artists and arts organizations, which play a key role in moulding the cultural identity of a city. Effectively, the work of artists and arts organizations develops a sense of belonging to a neighbourhood or community, fosters heterogeneous social relations, promotes the meaningful inclusion of diverse voices, and creates opportunities for active participation in civic and public spheres.
PAARC's values are to advocate for livable incomes for artists and a commitment to the principle that artists deserve to be paid for their endeavours; stand against censorship and for the rights of artists to organize, work and advocate on their own behalf; and promote the meaningful inclusion of diverse voices, origins and abilities in the arts.
Key Facts about Artists in BC
- British Columbia is the Canadian province with the highest number of working artists
- Artists comprise 1.8% of the BC's labour force.
- Together, artists and cultural workers account for 5.45% of the province's labour force.
