Verizon customers are able to receive the unlimited wireless package for just $59.99 a month while non-Verizon customers will have to dish out $79.99! Unlimited sounds great but how much is really too much? A customer received this letter from Verizon claiming their usage was more than 40 times what the norm is:
We found that your usage over the past 30 days exceeded 10 Gigabytes. This level of usage is so extraordinarily high that it could only have been attained by activities, such as streaming and/or downloading movies and video, prohibited by the terms and conditions…
After doing some research the customer found the fine print in the terms that states:
data sessions may be used with wireless devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access. services cannot be used: (1) for uploading, downloading or streaming of movies, music or games; (2) with server devices or with host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, Voice over IP (VoIP), automated machine-to-machine connections, or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing.
So basically if you do anything that will force you to leave your Web browser then you are screwed. I understand that they are trying to keep their bandwidth levels low but streaming audio and video is becoming a way of life for so many people. Judging by what Verizon recommends as "average usage" you will only be able to download 8.3MB per day! I guess downloading that DVD ISO with Linux on it will be out of the question :) .

Exploring Dhaka, Bangladesh
The capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka (Dacca) is the largest city in the country and regarded as one of the largest in the world. Bustling of political, cultural and economic activities, the ever growing city has about 18 million inhabitants and has an ever flowing energy to it that has been described as a glorious chaos. The small settlement in the early times was ruled by Kamarupa, the Buddhist kingdom and later in the 9th century by Hindus. You get a sense of a city that has grown beautifully overtime, having so much history and beauty to offer. Dhaka City is definitely one of the top places to visit in the South of Asia.
Best Dhaka Hotels
Dhaka has seen a lot of developments over the years and population growth necessitating the availability of more shopping malls, restaurants, parks, accommodations and the likes which they have handled very well. It is best to book hotels in Dhaka in advance to avoid getting stuck. The luxury hotels in Dhaka are of global standard with all the conveniences you might need.
Some of the best hotels in Dhaka are the Best Western Plus Maple Leaf in Uttara, Hotel Bengal Canary Park in Gulshan and the Hotel Orchard Suites in Banani. For a top hotel in Dhaka close to a Mosque, check Grand Oriental Dhaka.
Booking into a 3 star hotel in Dhaka is another great way to visit the city while not spending much on accommodation. Three star Dhaka hotels not only provide comfortable accommodation but also provide quality additional services. Cheap hotels or affordable guest houses in Dhaka are also available on Jovago at the best price and you can take advantage of the discount offers.
Places to visit in Dhaka
The city holds a lot of religious sites like Baitul Mukarram Mosque, Dhakeshwari Temple, Holy Rosary Church, Armenian Church of the Holy Resurrection, the spectacular Star Mosque, Dhakeshwari Temple, the textile craft centre and many others in Old Dhaka.
The city is nicknamed the city of Mosques because of the number of mosques you'll find in Dhaka. Lalbagh Fort built by Emperor Aurangazeb, the beautiful Shat Gombuj Mosjid built in the 19th century and Ahsan Manzil are some of the places to see for their unique architecture. The natural scenery of the National Assembly building is a must see. Other places to see are the Mausoleum of National Leaders, 1857 Memorial, National Botanical Gardens and Liberation War Museum. Try the variety of delicacies in Dhaka; take in this beautiful city with an old soul.
Getting around in Dhaka
There various means of transportation in Dhaka like buses, cycle rickshaws and car hire. Note that there is heavy traffic on Dhaka roads which makes driving inadvisable. Using a mix of the public transportation system might be a better option.

I'm sure that a lot of you are already familiar with Zumba.
This fantastic workout grows in popularity more and more every single day, but I'm not sure that you know all there is to know about the amazing benefits of Zumba, one of most fun yet effective workout routines out there.
So, read on and learn how to spend your time wisely and think about the wonderful benefits of Zumba the next time you sign up for a fitness program.
1. Weight Loss
In my opinion, one of the most important benefits of Zumba is, of course, the spectacular weight loss his new fitness craze can bring.
This extremely fun workout incorporates a lot of routines that will improve your cardiovascular system, which is extremely helpful in your fight to lose that unwanted weight.
Also, the average person will burn around 600 to 1000 calories in a Zumba class.
That's quite a lot, right?
And the best part is that you won't even notice all that effort it actually requires.

By Tarik El-Bashir
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 9, 2008
Olie Kolzig, the Washington Capitals goaltender through some of the best and worst moments in the team's history, confirmed yesterday what had been suspected for weeks: He has played his final game for the franchise that drafted him in 1989.
Kolzig's only regret, he said over lunch, is that his tenure did not end the way he always had envisioned it: with him hoisting the Stanley Cup and skating around the ice at Verizon Center. Instead, his Capitals career came to an abrupt conclusion April 22, when the free-agent-to-be watched from the bench as the Philadelphia Flyers vanquished Washington in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
"For me, it was disappointing the way it ended," said Kolzig, who led the Capitals to their only Stanley Cup finals appearance in 1998. "It's unfortunate, because they have a good team here now. It's a fantastic team, fantastic group of guys. Not to be a part of that is going to be tough, especially after 17 years and three years of what we went through post-lockout."
After a long pause, he added: "It just doesn't feel right. But at the same time, as an athlete, you have to know when to move on."
Kolzig, Washington's longest-tenured professional athlete and a fan favorite, knew that the time had come after Game 4 against the Flyers, who won in double overtime to take a 3-1 series lead. He was hopeful Coach Bruce Boudreau might turn to him. But the night before Game 5, goaltending coach Dave Prior told Kolzig that the coaching staff had decided trade-deadline acquisition Cristobal Huet would make his 12th consecutive start. Prior told him that switching net-minders had not been discussed, Kolzig said.
"When you're down three games to one in the playoffs, I felt like it was an opportunity for me to get in there with the experience I have," said Kolzig, who is tied for 22nd on the NHL's career victories list with 301. "Our backs were against the wall, but it didn't happen. I said to myself: 'My time here in Washington has passed. They've chosen to go in a different direction, and this was the exclamation point on it.' "
After the Game 7 loss in Washington, Kolzig removed his nameplate from his locker stall and skipped a team meeting the following morning. He said he plans to frame the nameplate with a jersey.
"In my mind, there wasn't anything hateful," Kolzig said of removing his nameplate. "I wasn't there for the meeting because I didn't want to have to face the media. I wanted to avoid [reporters] as long as I could. It got blown out of proportion.
"I realized that Game 7 was my last game as a Cap. That night was a very emotional time for me. I was one of the last guys to leave. It sucked that I wasn't playing, but I wanted us to go as far as we could. In the back of my mind, I thought that it's ironic, I'm not playing, but this could be our time to win a Cup. And in a weird way, this is how I get my ring, especially the way we were coming back. So I was even more disappointed when we lost Game 7, knowing that was going to be my last game."
The season had begun like the previous nine: with Kolzig, the 2000 Vezina Trophy winner as the league's best goaltender, entrenched as the Capitals' starter. But Kolzig's dominant performances became less frequent as the season wore on. So as the Capitals attempted to battle back from their worst start in 26 years, General Manager George McPhee traded for Huet, sending a second-round draft pick in 2009 to the Montreal Canadiens for the 2006-07 all-star.
At first, Boudreau split playing time between Huet and Kolzig. But Kolzig did not start another game after a 5-0 loss in Chicago on March 19, his 711th game as a Capital. Huet started the final seven regular season contests, winning them all to help the Capitals clinch the Southeast Division title -- and their first playoff berth in five years -- on the final day of the regular season.
When Kolzig sat down on the team bus after the loss in Chicago, he had a sinking feeling.
"I told [No. 3 goalie Brent Johnson], 'That was probably my last game as a Capital,' " Kolzig said. "Obviously it was at a crucial point in the season where we needed to win every game. They were a team we felt we could beat. Whether we were ready to play or not, we didn't beat them. Huet went in, won seven in a row and the rest is history."
Kolzig recorded his ninth season with at least 20 victories, winning 25 games. But his .892 save percentage and 2.91 goals against average ranked near the bottom of the league, and were well below his career numbers of .908 and 2.69 entering the season.
"It's hard to argue this because the season is done and my numbers are set, and when you compare them to other goalies on the team, I had the worst numbers," Kolzig said. "I did not play as well as the previous few years. But I didn't play as poorly as my numbers indicated, as some people want to believe. I never was a save percentage guy. For me, it was all about wins."
Though Kolzig's time in Washington has passed -- he's in the process of selling his family's $3.5 million house in Potomac -- Kolzig does not feel as if he's done playing hockey. In fact, he has resumed training for next season and plans to approach the offseason as if he is going to play. And if the right situation were to present itself -- joining a contender is high among his priorities -- he would return for a 17th NHL season.
If that doesn't happen, Kolzig said, he would seriously consider retiring.
"I haven't completely made up my mind," Kolzig said. "For me, it's all about my family. The situation has to be good for my family. I still feel that I can be a dominant goalie in this league. If the offer is not out there . . . I'll just sit by the pool with a six-pack."
McPhee declined to comment because he had not spoken directly to Kolzig.

First, I want to say I have waited a long time to write this review. Although these towels are super absorbent and have held up very nicely I do have one complaint. They continue to shed a fine dust no matter how many times I wash and machine dry them. I hope as they age this will stop. On the up side I think they are going to last for years.Read More
Standard towels. Gets the job done.Read More
I love this towels. they are very soft and heavy. The only reason I give them a 4 star is because my husband feels they are too heavy. If you do not like towels to be very heavy then you may not like this.Read More
Towels are lush, absorbent, launder well and are great looking. Definitely recommend.Read More
I have purchased several sets of these Spa towels. My entire family really likes these towels. Great size, great absorbency and great price for these Spa towels.Read More
These look and feel great! I would buy again.Read More
By now the towels have gone through laundry once. They came out same as new after washing.Read More
I love it . There are really super-absorbent & soft .Read More
Not nearly as soft and fluffy as the ones I originally ordered. Was disappointed and they are quite thin.Read More
I was disappointed in these towels. Within a few washes they were covered in snags. From the start they felt very scratchy on my skin and did not make drying off from a bath or shower much of a pleasure. Would not buy another set.Read More
Bright white, thick and lovely. We use these when guests stay and are proud to have such lovely linens for them to use. It's nice to know that if they become stained some year we can bleach them white again!Read More
Thick, absorbant ,soft towels. Would buy againRead More
Very nice towels. Absorbent without all the bulk.Read More
These Kassatex Hotelier towels extremely durable. This was a replacement for the same brand and design I bought over a decade ago that are only now looking slightly worn around the edges after twice weekly washings. They are not thick, fluffy towels but they really are super-absorbent. Colors are subtle and there is a nice range to choose from. The 6 piece sets sold were perfect for our needs at an exceptionally good price. I would highly recommend these towels.Read More
Very nice quality and get better each time you wash themRead More
I liked these enough from my first purchase several weeks ago that I decided to buy another set. They are thick, soft, absorbent, and the design is distinct. They washed well (didn't shed horribly, pill, or fade). The regular price here was similar to others sites, but the 17% off coupon sealed the deal. Yes, they are more expensive than other towel sets you can buy, but not unreasonably so. I've tried some others from well-known retailers, and these are much better. The better quality is worth paying more for.Read More
These towels were everything we hoped for. They are truly soft, even after a few washings.Read More
Before I use this set, I did not realize there are towels can make happily showering in a cold morning. These towels absorb water so quickly, dry the body within a couple tabs:-)Read More
I will never buy any towels that are not made from Egyptian Cotten ! Very luxurious. I will be purchasing more!Read More
Nice product at a great price!Read More
SPA 750 Gram 2-ply Cotton Super-absorbent 6-piece Towel Set

'Aashiqui 2' schedule starts tomorrow (Monday), I can feel the endorphins building up again,' Shradha tweeted Sunday. Filmmaker Mohit Suri has paired Shraddha with Aditya Roy Kapoor in the film.
Suri has earlier clarified that the musical is not a sequel to the 1990-hit romantic saga 'Aashiqui' which starred Rahul Roy and model Anu Agarwal. 'Aashiqui 2' is likely to be released on Valentine's Day in February next year.

4–6 km
The Sightrun takes about 45 minutes to one hour. It all depends on our pace. It takes us trough the old part of the city and to the beautiful park of Ljubljana. Usually we meet somewhere in the City Centre and we finish on the same spot or on a glass of local home-brewed beer, where we discus about Life, Universe and everything. Usually.
You dictate the pace and you can decide to prolong the tour on the spot also.
Don't get lost and feel safe!
Ljubljana its not as big as London but never the less you can get lost quickly especialy runners can wonder away. We also don''t have same crime rate as other capitals but don't be the one to rise that rate :)
Our toures are well prepared and safe plus tracks that we will guide you on are suitable for running.

9. taikucing (unregistered)

11. tech2 (Posts: 3487; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)

All, I can say from those pics that they've hideous bezels (which is a big factor for me when making a buying decision).
20. hk0805 (Posts: 11; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
Bring on a Nokia Lumia with Android! I bet Samsung and company will be running for their money! Wanna see that happen but highly unlikely. I just can't understand why Nokia do not embrace Android and become the best phone (smartphone) seller which it was 3-4 years back! Absolulely idiotic of Elop to ruin such a wonderful brand. I had bought a Lumia 920 and gave it back in a day just because of it being Windows and so crappy! Had the same came in with Android would have never abandoned that beauty!
13. boosook (Posts: 1442; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Legendary for sure... since it will never be released and the rendering is, well, just a concept imagined by a fan.

23. GROBARIZACIJA (Posts: 10; Member since: 26 Jun 2013)

If this becomes true, this would be my first Nokia-powered-Android-phone. :)
10. samsungrocks (Posts: 10; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)

19. ddeath (Posts: 169; Member since: 14 Apr 2012)
What a missed opportunity from Nokia, not releasing an Android phone. Most Android users would change to a Nokia it they got a chance, including me.
21. Miracles (Posts: 560; Member since: 31 Aug 2013)
22. samsungrocks (Posts: 10; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)
hell yeah
25. sianto (Posts: 65; Member since: 11 Dec 2013)
Could happen, but not the green one!
26. biagnosis (Posts: 46; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
I hope Nokia will also release an Android Phablet with a stylus "ala" S-Pen loaded with gimmicky features just like my Note 2. Just hoping.....and dreaming. If this happens, I'll shut-up and let Nokia take my money. hehe.

Dj´s Andres Lokko, Magnus Carlson & Robert Plaszczyk (Bangers'n'Mash)
Pop has a patron saint, and its name is Etienne. When record collecting geek Bob Stanley and twinkle-toed electronic prophet Pete Wiggs first crossed paths, they were barely old enough to speak. Luckily by the time they met English rose Sarah Cracknell in a Kings Cross Burger King in 1991 they had mastered enough words to convince her to join Saint Etienne. The trio then gave us the cut-and-paste classic Foxbase Alpha, and soon established themselves as chroniclers of London, a starstruck cross between the Pet Shop Boys and Peter Ackroyd. Never standing still, they pioneered folktronica with Tiger Bay (1994), turned icecream-Scandopop for Good Humor (1998), and made the capital into a movie - with their own soundtrack - on Finisterre (2002). Tales From Turnpike House (2005) was widely acclaimed as their most luxurious, emotive, and hummable album to date. Currently working with Tim Powell (Xenomania) and Richard X, their quest for the perfect beat continues.

Henry Clarke (died 22 July 1914) was a businessman and local politician in London.
Clarke carried out business at Gracechurch Street in the City of London as a coal importer and commission merchant.[1][2] In 1883 he was elected to the Common Council of the City of London as a representative of Bishopsgate Ward, a post he held until his death.[3][4] He was chairman of the City's Library Committee in 1887, and in 1897 commissioned and donated a painting by Andrew Carrick Gow to the Guildhall Art Gallery to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.[5][6] In the same year he was made a Deputy Lieutenant of the City.[7]
When the first London County Council elections were held in January 1889, Clarke was elected as one of four Moderate Party councillors representing the City of London, and was appointed chairman of the Improvements Committee.[8][9]
He held the seat until he retired from the council in March 1904, having the honour of serving as Deputy Chairman of the council in 1902-1903.[10][11] He was also one of the county council's representatives on the Metropolitan Water Board.[12]
Clarke was a resident of Hampstead, in north west London, and following his retirement from the council remained active as a justice of the peace, serving as chairman of the Hampstead magistrates.[4] He died suddenly at his Hampstead home in July 1914, aged 82.[4]

text: Hillary ClintonUS declares 22 Clinton emails 'top secret' Department of State says Hillary Clinton's emails sent through home server contained closely guarded government secrets. 30 Jan 2016 07:39 GMT | Hillary Clinton, US, US & Canada, US Election 2016 Hillary Clinton apologised for using a private email server while serving as secretary of state [Reuters]The US government has confirmed that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's home server contained closely-guarded government secrets, censoring 22 emails that contained material requiring one of the highest levels of classification. The seven email chains from Clinton, who is also a Democratic nominee candidate in the 2016 presidential polls, will be withheld from the public as the information in them is classified at the highest level as "top secret", US Department of State Spokesman John Kirby said on Friday. READ MORE: Clinton apologises for use of private email account The announcement came three days before the Iowa caucuses, when the first votes are cast for the presidential nominations and where Clinton is locked in a tight race with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic nominee for the November election. "These documents were not marked classified at the time that they were sent," Kirby said. He added that the department was now investigating whether the information in them was classified at the time it passed through her private clintonemail.com email account run on a server in her New York home. The department and intelligence officials have been arguing about the emails, which are being made public under a federal court order, for at least five months. The state department initially maintained that Clinton might have obtained the same information independently through nonclassified channels. 'Bureaucratic infighting' The decision to no longer pursue this argument will add to the questions Clinton has faced for months over her handling of sensitive government information as she seeks to maintain her leading position in the Democratic race. The Clinton campaign criticised the state department's decision as the result of "bureaucratic infighting" and "over-classification run amok", adding that the emails should be released. Some information has been censored in more than 1,300 emails already made public because the state department says it is classified, including the privately shared thoughts of foreign leaders and government officials. But this is the first time that entire chains are being withheld. Congressional Republicans have criticised and investigated Clinton for her use of a private email server for her work as a secretary of state between 2009 and 2013. Some of her Republican rivals for the presidency, including New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, have called for her prosecution.Source: Agencies

The Nature which didn't listen
To what you say runs away after
Giving exuberantly the heavy rain;
Extreme heat, storm, earth-quake,
Floods and volcanoes and other
Worst hit effects etc, etc..
The society which hides self-consciousness
In mind gets used to sow child laborers,
Refugees, orphans and poverty!
Brahma, the God who is in charge of creation
Who naps in his factory office creates in a hurry
The physically challenged persons as the time is past!
Yama, - the God who fetches the life –
Who went for shopping with his wife,
In his profession, in a hurry,
To patch up that day's deficiency
Happens and executes the infant death
And mortality!
With extreme greed for money,
With an agreement for
Installment of deaths,
The seeds of narcotic
Materials are sowed
In the land!
In the queried knowledge
of no one is there to listen
And act swiftly,
A few sexual assaults
Has been carried out
And established!
The cheats who adulterate
In a state of adulterating anything
Save the persons who intend to suicide
By adulterating the poisons too, but
Take the unlimited agreement, killing
The people by adulterating the food materials also!
In spite of the efforts of curing the patients,
The treatment for the purpose of making money,
Multitudes of patients are produced!
In the disguise of halls of teaching,
Education is sold in auction
As a day light robbery!
The leaders who forget
Their self-status becomes the God
In the days while the God was not in the city
Like the last grade employees
Who either don't respect
Or forget the superior office Head!

Figure drawing was practice in the past now replaced by mouse and key, drafting nights away. Technical drawing doesn't always have a soul. I am here for practice, inspiration, and good company.
Art and love is the simple answer. I'm an architect by trade, and have abandoned art in the process. I'm finding it back.
I'm working on a small graphic novel, written by a few friends. My art projects are on hold for now. I have ideas, but need the drive first.
Mostly pencil and ink right now. I would love to work more with oils, but this is only after I have the discipline and inspiration to continue to make in this format.
Knitting, sewing, architect-ting, and tabletop/video gaming.
A small soul slowly working on improving her many crafts.

Molly Ringwald: When It Happens to YouBooks and Authors
- Highlight
- watch now
Child star, icon of a series of 1980s movies like Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, Molly Ringwald is also a jazz singer and has just delivered her first book about love on the rocks in LA.
Its a novel made up of eight stories told from different perspectives and each interconnected. Its the story of a disintegrating marriage and its impact on the daughter.
Ringwald is disarmingly smart and charming.
She punctures all those clichés about monstrous child stars; whose lives seem to disintegrate around adulthood.
Very hard not to like a writer who is deeply influenced by Ray Carver and Joan Didion.
Ringwald is in conversation here with Jane Gleeson-White at the Sydney Writers' Festival 2013.
For more on this year's festival, head to the ABC Arts website and the Sydney Writers' Festival website

cooling tower application Applications
Cooling tower water treatment
The fresh water requirement for a cooling tower in a typical coal-based power plant is approximately 80% of the total consumption of water. These concentrated cooling water blowdown streams are extremely rich in silica, are characterized by higher hardness levels and include other organic loads. Aquatech has vast experience in recycle/reuse solutions for cooling tower blowdown and cooling tower water treatment.

Cooling Tower, algae and biofilm control
"Efficiently lowers algae, biofilm formation, bacterial counts and chemical consumption." When temperatures are high, for example in cooling towers, a matrix of different microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, EPS and algae can grow very rapidly. The disadvantages of biofilm formation in cooling towers can be enormous. Therefore water used in cooling towers needs frequent treatment and chemical shocks to keep levels of micro-organisms to a minimum.

Cooling & Drinkingwater: ATP monitoring of biomass growth in waters
Monitoring Biomass in (Cooling Tower) Waters through ATP monitoring
The TOXcontrol can be used for ATP monitoring. Currently our company is doing research for further developments for this application on the TOXcontrol.
Monitoring the microbial population of cooling towers is necessary in order to maintain the proper operation of the system. Conventional methods for monitoring microbial populations work by culturing microorganisms, a time-consuming procedure that requires days or even weeks of incubation before the results are known. Biofouling can be well-advanced before treatment begins. In addition, it is believed that this technique does not detect the full range of microbial life present in cooling systems.

Chlorine dioxide for industrial water treatment
Chlorine dioxide is used as a biocide in many industrial water treatment applications including cooling towers, process water and mill water. Its selective oxidative properties usually results in lower dosages of ClO2 while also achieving improved microbial performance.

Water Disinfection for Industrial Water Treatment
MIOX's patented Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS) or Hypochlorite (HYPO)chemistries for cooling tower and cooling loop water disinfection improves safety, lowers general corrosion rates, increases performance, and saves money. The unique qualities of MOS lowers corrosion rates by 80% in copper and 50% in steel, resulting in a reduction of downtime, maintenance, and expense. Additionally, MIOX generators improve workplace safety by eliminating the handling and storage of hazardous chemicals while maintaining steady disinfection residuals.

"In August 2004 American Free Press reported that eight out of twenty men serving in one unit during the 2003 invasion of Iraq had developed malignancies. This translates into 40 % of the soldiers in that one unit developing malignancies within a 16 month period of time. What is causing these terrible health problems?"
"Since 1943 the military has been aware of the extreme toxicity of uranium as a gas. A Oct 30, 1943 memo from Manhattan Project physicist James B. Conant to Brig. General L.B. Abrams stated that as a gas warfare instrument the radioactive material would be ground into microscopic particles forming dust and smoke and could be distributed by ground fired projectiles, land vehicles or aerial bombs. In this form it would be inhaled by personnel. They estimated that one millionth of a gram would be fatal. There are no known methods of treatment for such casualties."
"The depleted uranium DU was also recommended as a permanent terrain contaminant which could be used to destroy populations by contaminating water supplies and agricultural land with radioactive dust. "

so the next question is whether or not they will use DU against American citizens in America when the time comes.

Just redefine the problem to no problem.
Previous exposure limits were set based on actual testing, measurements and a defined "acceptable risk".
EPA to raise "safe" limits
"the new standards will result in a "nearly 1000-fold increase for exposure to strontium-90, a 3000 to 100,000-fold hike for exposure to iodine-131; and an almost 25,000 rise for exposure to radioactive nickel-63? in drinking water."
US gov't may raise radiation exposure levels in food, drink, soil
We all deserve to know why some in the agency want to legitimize exposing the public to radiation at levels vastly higher than what EPA officially considers dangerous," Erickson added.
Internal documents obtained by PEER under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit last autumn show that, under the updated PAG, a single glass of water could give the equivalent of a lifetime's permissible exposure. According to PEER, the new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed.

It's my understanding that one of the agents for radiation related illnesses among soldiers and civilians has to do with the high caliber uranium tip bullets used on the Warthogs (tank killers) during the two wars with Iran. This allows the bullets to easily penetrate tanks. The Warthogs were one of the main weapons used and they had a field day with the Iranian tanks, but at what costs?
I quickly read the link by the OP and didn't see any mention of the uranium tip bullets used by the Warthogs as a possible cause for the radiation illnesses.

That was a nice way to start. Lenalee writing down her fantasies about her and Allen, only to get caught by Lavi of all people.
It was hilarious how Lavi became everyone's punching bag, getting kicked by Lenalee, bullied by Kanda, and knocked out by Allen. XD
That was cute when he woke up and grabbed her face and said those words, but the ending blew me away with his suddenness with that little kiss.

me and this 'bad boy' have liked each other for a wile now and people always bother us about how we should date etc. we both really like each other but I'm scared that his part animal personality will ruin our relationship and we should just stay friends?
would he change for the better if we were dating?
not part animal...
Most Helpful Guy
If it's not a lifestyle you're comfortable with, I wouldn't recommend it. It's not so much about the guy himself, but rather the way you view his lifestyle. Because you aren't comfortable with the way he spends his free time, there will likely be a lot of tension between the two of you over him and his party-boy lifestyle. I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't try to date him, but definitely keep that in mind.00|00|0

Some Tips and Recommendations
To ensure your involvement with KRUPS completely programmed is the most charming, KRUPS suggests utilizing medium meal beans, for example, American Roasts, City Roasts, Full City Roasts or Vienna Roasts for the darker ones. Regardless of the fact that intensely utilized as a part of coffeehouses and generally marketed in the U. S. , darker dishes, for example, French Roasts or Italian meals would not deliver a consummately adjusted taste : the corrosiveness of the espresso will be exceptionally reduced and little, assuming any, of the innate kinds of the espresso will remain. This is like eating "overcooked" nourishment.

Department of Homeland Security:
Continued Actions Needed to Strengthen Oversight and Coordination of Research and Development
GAO-14-813T: Published: Jul 31, 2014. Publicly Released: Jul 31, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9627
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In September 2012, GAO reported that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not know the total amount its components invested in research and development (R&D) and did not have policies and guidance for defining R&D and overseeing R&D resources across the department. According to DHS, its Science & Technology Directorate (S&T), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), and Coast Guard were the only components that conducted R&D, and GAO found that these were the only components that reported budget authority, obligations, or outlays for R&D activities to the Office of Management and Budget. However, GAO identified an additional $255 million in R&D obligations made by other DHS components. At the time of GAO's review, DHS reported it was difficult to identify all R&D investments across the department because DHS did not have a department wide policy defining R&D or guidance directing components how to report all R&D activities. GAO recommended that DHS develop policies to assist components in better understanding how to report R&D activities and better position DHS to determine R&D investments. DHS concurred with the recommendation and, as of July 2014, had updated its guidance to include a definition of R&D but had not yet determined the most effective path to guide R&D across the department. GAO will continue to monitor DHS's efforts to develop its approach for overseeing R&D at the department.
GAO also reported in September 2012 that S&T had taken some steps to coordinate R&D efforts across DHS, but the department's R&D efforts were fragmented and overlapping, which increased the risk of unnecessary duplication. GAO recommended that DHS develop a policy defining roles and responsibilities for coordinating R&D and establish a mechanism to track all R&D projects to help DHS mitigate existing fragmentation and overlap and reduce the risk of unnecessary duplication. DHS concurred with the recommendation. As of July 2014, S&T has not developed new policy guidance but is conducting portfolio reviews across the department, as directed by the fiscal year 2013 appropriations act, aimed at coordinating R&D activities. GAO will continue to monitor DHS's efforts to develop a policy to better coordinate and track R&D activities at the department.
In September 2013, GAO reported that DHS border and maritime R&D components reported producing 97 R&D deliverables from fiscal year 2010 through 2012 at an estimated cost of $177 million. GAO found that the type of border and maritime R&D deliverables produced by S&T, the Coast Guard, and DNDO varied, and R&D customers GAO met with had mixed views on the impact of the deliverables. These deliverables included knowledge products and reports, technology prototypes, and software. For example, S&T developed prototype radar and video systems for use by Border Patrol. However, GAO reported that S&T had not established timeframes for collecting and evaluating feedback on the extent to which deliverables met customers' needs. GAO recommended that S&T collect such feedback from its customers to better determine the usefulness and impact of its R&D projects and deliverables and make better-informed decisions regarding future work. As of July 2014, DHS had taken steps to address this recommendation, including making plans to gather customer feedback. GAO will continue to monitor DHS's efforts in this area.
Why GAO Did This Study
Conducting R&D on technologies for detecting, preventing, and mitigating terrorist threats is vital to enhancing the security of the nation. Since its creation, DHS has spent billions of dollars researching and developing technologies used to support its missions including securing the border, and detecting nuclear material among others. Within DHS, S&T conducts and is responsible for coordinating R&D across the department. Other components also conduct R&D to support their respective missions.
This statement discusses (1) how much DHS invests in R&D and the extent to which DHS has policies and guidance for defining and overseeing its R&D efforts across the department, (2) the extent to which R&D is coordinated across DHS, and (3) the results of DHS border and maritime security R&D efforts and the extent to which DHS has obtained feedback on these efforts. This statement is based on GAO's previously issued work from September 2012 to September 2013, and selected updates conducted in July 2014 on the status of GAO's prior recommendations. To conduct the updates, GAO reviewed agency documentation.
What GAO Recommends
In its prior reports, GAO recommended, among other things, that DHS develop policies and guidance for defining, overseeing, coordinating, and tracking R&D activities across the department; and that S&T collect and evaluate feedback from its customers. DHS concurred with GAO's recommendations and has actions underway to address them.

text: MATTHEW FORDAHLNEW YORK (AP) ¿ CEOs are taking a hit from the recession ¿ less total compensation, smaller bonuses, nearly worthless stock options ¿ but their companies are already making adjustments that could mean fatter paychecks in the future. An Associated Press analysis shows the median pay package for CEOs of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 7 percent to $7.6 million in 2008. And the potential hit to their pocketbooks could be even larger if stock prices don't rebound. One clue: 90 percent of the $1.2 billion in CEO stock options granted last year are "under water," meaning the current stock price is too low to yield a profit, the AP analysis shows. Boards already are trying to cushion the blow. The AP found that some have changed the rules to make it easier for executives to qualify for bonuses. Others are doling out more stock options, which give executives the right to buy shares in the future at prices locked in today. Other findings in the AP's analysis:

I need to seek out the collective wisdom of you guys. I have looked through most (I think) threads on this topic but so far want to make sure Im on the right track. I have Velocity Gold, and my friend has Velocity Red. We both want to fly to USA in business class (open to JFK if its worthwhile). What is the cheapest way for us to do this? Realising it may be a different solution for both of us due to the different statuses. I have previously flown from SYD > LAX in business class using points.
From what I have seen I can:
- Purchase business reward seats for ~88,000 points each way, but deal with poor availability.
- Purchase a freedom ticket and upgrade it for 45,000 points each way.
For the red status:
- Purchase business reward seats for ~88,000 points each way, but deal with poor availability.
Is this it? Or is there a better solution I have missed? Final destination is JFK, but happy to do my internal USA flights in economy.
Appreciate any assistance.
If you happen to have an AMEX VA platinum card - use the offer of a discounted 2 for 1 business fare? I think it's not much cheaper but may be an option
A few points :
Cost is 95,500 points each way to LAX
The upgrade option comes out of the reward seat pool ( at least if you want to guarantee yourself the seat ). You can buy 2 x freedom tix and upgrade both. I have done this providing both tickets are on the same PNR. You should always check on the phone before purchase. Either way you would deal with the same availability issue. If you are flexible you should have no problem with 2 reward seats.
I would do the domestic USA flights on DL and take the status credits toward requalifying if you need
I agree with CJEMNMAC, it's a compromise that requires flexibility and a bit of phone calling, but worked well for us.
You will need to research suitable dates with J reward seat availability first. Then, you would need to purchase two Y+ seats on that same flight , but here is the compromise. Hopefully the Y+ seats aren't too expensive, but if they are close to the lowest J price, you may be better off just paying for J and reaping more points. Be on the phone with Velocity Gold at the same time if preferred. If you do score cheap Y+ seats, ask Velocity to upgrade you straight away.
Happy travels.
For me, buying Y+ and upgrading with points is likely to be poor value. For a start, this option will only be available on the SYD-LAX-SYD sectors, and I believe if you purchase a Y+ fare from SYD-JFK, you end up in economy on the LAX-JFK-LAX sectors. Obviously it depends to some extent on whether you can get a sale fare (that might change things), but typically you are looking at close to $5k for a Y+ return fro SYD-JFK. So if you upgrade both ways, it will cost you $5k + 90,000 points per person, and that's for J between SYD-LAX-SYD and Y from LAX-JFK-LAX.
To provide context, I am going away with work in January with QF/AA. I'm departing from MEL, going to Chicago, then with 3 internal flights and returning from DFW-SYD-MEL, all in Business, for a grand total of $6,800 (this trip will also earn me 600 QF SCs and over 50k points). I'm not saying you should go with QF, but if you are flexible on dates, airlines and airports and look for specials, you can probably get fully paid J returns to NY (or somewhere reasonably close) for less than $7k, and earn a heap of SCs and points while you're at it. That would be a no brainer compared to the VA upgrade option IMHO.
If you have enough point for outright J awards with Velocity it's a different matter - but as someone else pointed out it will cost a lot more than 88,000 points/person each way - I believe it's 127,500 + cash component of a few hundred bucks - so I'm not sure if you have enough points or not. I think it's also harder to find reward availability with Velocity if your final destination is not LAX (i.e. if your trip includes a sector operated by DL), so straight out rewards to LAX and then cash fares within the US are also worth considering.

Sometimes "Sale" Y+ ticket are cheaper than Freedom tickets.
I recently did PE Freedom outbound to SYD-LAX and PE Saver inbound with upgrade requests wait-listed on both. Cost was $4K. Only the inbound upgrade came through, so that was 45K points. Those points were fully covered by accrual of buying the tix via Amex Velocity and earning them in the air. I've noticed the cash upgrade quotes have crept up lately as well. With J fitout ver 1, you could often see a $600 starting point. These recent flights had $1,200 & $1,400 starting bids respectively. First time in the new J for me - certainly it is very, very good.
On another note, crossing west to east I had LAX-MSP-EWR with Delta in W (Comfort+) for a total earn of 105 SC and cost of AUD$460. Had a JFK-LAX return in Y with Delta for just 20 SC and cost of $210.
The DL First product East-West-East direct is great. Not so anywhere else however, it's really more like AU domestic J. I actually took a United First as well BOS-EWR, also akin to AU Dom J. Pretty short flight. Funny moment at the United lounge in BOS (very nice, BTW) when I presented my Amigo Avianca Hombre-de-luxe gold *A card that I got status-matched via Velocity
Lounge angel 1: "can't say I've seen this one before" *shows the other angels*
Lounge angel 2: "that's Avianca, they're all good"
Me: "I've actually never flown that airline"
Lounge angels: "really?"
Me: "yeah. actually I haven't flown United for 15+ years either"
Lounge angels: "shame on you!" (now wondering if indeed they should admit me and why the hell I have this card as well)
Me: "going to change that today though"
Ahh, but I've paid my dues. Last time I flew United was '99 on a RTW Y + a bunch of other *A carriers. Earned a heap of points on that trip. Damn shame I joined *A via Ansett though...

Global demand for high-value food products from the sea is growing at a rapid and sustained rate. This increasing demand will be met, almost entirely, through aquaculture.
New Zealand is privileged to have the natural, financial, regulatory and human resources to capitalise on the opportunity through sustainable production of premium aquaculture products for a discerning global marketplace.
NIWA's National Centre for Aquaculture is responding to the opportunity and helping to ensure New Zealand's aquaculture industry meets its $1 billion target by 2025. We bring together world-class research facilities – including the Bream Bay Aquaculture Park – and the country's largest team of aquaculture specialists to support the aquaculture industry with unique science that underpins current and developing operations and innovation.
One of our core areas of research and consultancy services is aquaculture nutrition. The economics of fed aquaculture are dominated by the cost of feed and its biological and environmental performance in the production system. For many new and emerging aquaculture species, optimal nutritional requirements are unknown. Even for established species, access to alternative raw materials offers opportunities to improve product quality, reduce environmental footprints and lower feed costs.
These are key areas of focus for the National Centre for Aquaculture.

Our capability – systems
Our nutrition capability is based on the wide range of high-quality facilities located at our Bream Bay Aquaculture Park in Northland.
System 1: Dedicated larval trials unit comprising twelve, 600 litre, round tanks with black internal side walls and contrasting flat, white bases.
System 2: Production feed trials unit containing forty-two, 1500 litre, round tanks divided across three rooms (18, 12 and 12 tanks respectively), each under full photothermal control.
System 3: Metabolic chamber that combines capabilities to measure respiration and excretion of animals under controlled environmental conditions (i.e., temperature, salinity, oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, diet, feed rates, dissolved substances, enforced exercise) as well as the quantity and quality of discharge through the use of particle sizing and capture
Our capability – analytical
Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS): dedicated apparatus to provide detailed fatty acid composition of materials, combining the features of gas–liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.
Near infrared: This analytical capability enables us to analyse large numbers of samples to determine their proximate composition (protein, lipid, moisture), for quick turnaround of basic nutritional information.
Quantitative determination of feed consumption: Using our portable x-ray camera and recognition software we are able to accurately determine the actual amount of feed consumed, with little disturbance of the fish. This method, using sophisticated counting software, visualises and quantifies x-ray opaque ballotini balls (0.5mm and 1mm) contained within test feeds at known inclusion rates.
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS): Using this technique we can analyse feeds and faecal samples to estimate apparent digestibility using Ytterbium as the marker of choice.

Cockroaches advance student's study of ancient life
Have you ever seen a three-foot dragonfly? Where such gigantic insects once dominated earth, now only diminutive cousins remain. What created these differences? Elyse Munoz, a junior majoring in biology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, had the rare opportunity to directly investigate this question over the summer, while participating in cutting-edge research in the lab of physiologist Jon Harrison.
"In the lab, research experiences provide an internship-type training that let students actually do research, rather than just read or hear about it," says Harrison, a professor in the School of Life Sciences. "They learn practical techniques, as well as ways of thinking critically about the research process. They get to interact on a personal level with faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students, which helps them decide whether this is something they wish to do as a career."
