Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2011 (2348 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I stopped on my way home for take-out at a Pasquale's Restaurant on Marion Street. I ran in to get my order and ran back out to my car parked right in front of the restaurant. To my dismay, my car would not start — dead battery!
I went back into the restaurant and asked Sandro, the owner, if he had a phone book so that I could call a garage. Sandro told me he would take care of it only to jump in his car to go to the nearest garage and return with a portable charger for my battery.
We got my car started and I wanted everyone to know what a great guy Sandro is and what a great restaurant Pasquale's is.
Now that is customer service
Thank you, Sandro.

Blacks with kidney disease caused by high blood pressure fare much better if given an ACE inhibitor drug instead of the drug commonly used to treat them, a study has found found. The study, published today in The Journal of the American Medical Association, compared two drugs: the ACE inhibitor ramipril, sold as Altace, and amlodipine, or Norvasc, a calcium channel blocker. While both controlled blood pressure, patients who took ramipril had a 48 percent lower risk of death, dialysis and dangerous drops in kidney function over three years. The study involved 1,094 blacks ages 18 to 70 with mild-to-moderate hypertension-related kidney disease.Continue reading the main story

But then come Christmas Eve, he and his pint-sized helper dwarf Marcus stage elaborate robberies and take their department stores for everything they got. This year, they hit a mall in suburban Phoenix, Arizona. This time around, Willie gets distracted by having sex with large women, a bartender who is attracted to Santas, and a kid who's convinced he's the real deal. However, this time around Marcus must once again put up with Willie's heavy drinking and a series of incidents that constantly shoot themselves in the foot. Not to mention a nosy department store security guard who's onto them and wants his cut of the loot. Will Willie and Marcus make it to next Christmas? Or will this be the year the dynamic duo finally face justice?- Written by halo1k

SBC Communications Inc., the nation's second-largest local telephone carrier, withdrew its application today to offer long-distance service in Missouri amid questions about prices and its support systems.
While the withdrawal is a setback for SBC, the company said that it plans to refile its application after providing updated data and responding to the concerns raised by antitrust officials and its rivals.
The Federal Communications Commission must determine whether SBC's local networks in Missouri are open to rivals and if the prices charged competitors for access to the system are reasonable.
Although state regulators had endorsed the bid, the Justice Department and rival local providers have warned that the prices SBC charges for access may be too high.
SBC already has approval to offer long-distance service in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.Continue reading the main story

Great Ski Pack
I've used this pack for a few years now and I find it both helpful doing lift serve and light backcountry skiing. I wouldn't recommend it for longer backcountry trips, but if you're going out locally just for the day, it will serve you well. There's just enough room for your lunch and an extra set of gear but it's slim enough that you can still ride the lift and be comfortable.

"Waiting time keeps changing"
About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Gender dysphoria services Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Gender dysphoria services NG7 6LB
Posted by Ashant (as ),
I was referred to the centre by my GP in May 2015. In the acceptance letter from the centre I was told that my approx wait from referral would be 10-12 months but could be subject to change.
I contacted the centre in November, to advise of change of address, and March to advise of change of name. In each case I was told that my wait would now be 13 months, not ideal but livable.
A friend of mine who was referred by her GP in April 2015 had her first appointment in May 2016. When I had not heard anything from the centre by June I rang them and was advised that my wait was now 16 months, which had a devastating effect on my mental state. I was informed that the increased wait was due to excessive demand on the service.
I rang the centre again on 1st July and was informed that my wait was still 16 months.
I rang them again two weeks later to be told that my wait was now 18 months. This had such a devastating effect on me that I was stood on King St in the city centre with tears running down my face.
The reason given again was still excessive demand. I find it very hard to understand how my wait can increase my 2 months in just 2 weeks
What makes this worse is that I've had absolutely zero communication from the centre and have only found out about the increases in my waiting times when I've contacted them.
Response from Angie Jackson, Interim Community Service Manager, Mental Health Services for Older People, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust 13 months ago
I am sorry that you are experiencing a long wait for an appointment, unfortunately the demand for our gender services far exceeds our capacity.
When someone is referred for treatment an estimated waiting time is given based on the number of people in the system at that time, this is always subject to change.
When someone is seen for their first appointment they are then given a second appointment for 3 months time, this has the unintended consequence of reducing the number of appointments available for people still waiting, its a phenomenon known as stacking, and this is what leads to an increasing wait.
The lead clinician is very concerned about the long waits for treatment and the service is working with both the comissioners, NHS England. and the Healthcare Trust to try and secure more staff and more clinical space in order to see more patients.

Response from Jane Danforth, Involvement Team , Involvement & Experience, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust 12 months ago
I was so sorry to read your story which I can see is very frustrating for you. Waiting times are stressful and the system of 'stacking' makes things even more difficult.
Your last statement concerns me. I can only suggest that you go to see your GP again if you feel that you are deteriorating and explain how this is affecting you.
As a member of the Involvement Team, my role is non-clinical across the whole Trust. We encourage people to share their feedback and I am glad to see you have chosen to share it with us on Patient Opinion. This is one of the ways we can improve services and we reply to all feedback and share it with the people in our Trust who need to read it.
Please be reassured that we do care about the long wait you are experiencing and by leaving your feedback you are helping commissioners, NHS England and the Trust to direct their funds to the services that are most in need.
Thank you

I'm having a problem trying to make a report that would include 6 tables,
the process is this:
we are a truck management company (in short)
and I'm looking to create a report that will calculate the driver's pay.
the tables are as follows:
Loads (what the driver drove and worked for)
Advances (what the driver used or needed in advance)
Expenses (costs that the driver incurred that will be deducted from his advance)
Fuel Costs (same as expenses, but is also related to a truck report system)
Settlement (the table that links all loads that will be paid in that week, and what % the driver makes off that)
I'm trying to make a query or table that will do this (web database) but when i link loads and advances or expenses (with load having more then 1) it doubles the load amounts, as in if we charge 2000 for a load and we pay 300 2 times as expenses, it will count that we charged 4000 and paid 600, while expenses is correct I'm trying to see if there is a way to make it not double the load cost.
as for not using a query the reports do the same thing, and is hard to tabulate them correctly using groups, (i am trying to make this into something reachable from the web once it is implemented into a share point server)
i do have access to the share point server if there is anything i need to change on that side. but since its access giving me the problems i don't think that would be the case.
for an example of how the report should look like:
Settlement; Load Number; Load Date; Line Haul; Access; Miles; Description;
Advance Date; Advance Amount; Expense Date; Expense Amount; Fuel Date; Fuel Cost
i cant think of a good way to describe it, but basic settlement and load information on the first line then the lines after it would be advance expense and fuel cost information.
i uploaded the database into http://esr1.net/Database1.accdb , any help would be greatly appreciated, i am fairly new to making these systems for the web, and my history with access has been limited to very simple functions
sadly this has taken me a week to get this far, ( i know I'm horribly slow, had to start over a ton of times because i tried implementing more things once it was on the server already)

Those videos were informational, thank you, sadly they don't cover my issue, or I'm not smart enough to connect 2 and 2 together XD
is there a way to make a web query "Break ON" a section? (still breaking his head with this issue)
Dec 16, 2011 at 4:24 UTC
You are getting double the load amounts because you have two expenses amount. If you had three expense amounts then you would have triple the load amounts. Can you sum the expense amount?
You'll see similar problems if you can have multiple fuel costs and/or advances per load.
Dec 16, 2011 at 5:11 UTC
ESR1, Archon Technologies is an IT service provider.
yea that's my issue, a load can have multiple expenses fuel costs and advances, so i need to find a way to add those up, but since this is a web database (access horrible limits version).
(i thought it would be much simpler since access has a built in one to many relationship system, that or I'm building the relationships incorrectly, i don't get why they take out the relationship viewer on web databases if its still there basically.)
I'm trying this as a offline database attached to the online one, and it still gives me the same error, i crated 3 queries linking the different tables like this (to get totals)
like this:
Load table linking to Advances, Expenses, Fuel Costs. so they give me the correct amounts even for expenses. (can only do this on a client side query)
whenever i try to link them all together to be able to calculate driver pay it doubles things again tho, I'm still looking into a way around it but i r slow XD
thank you for your response :D

well i gave up on the whole having this report online thing, i setup a offline report, with it calculating, and whole #type! error fiasco i got around (lots and lots of iif's XD)
thank you guys for trying to help, i did it using a main report, and 3-6 sub reports (3 if i wanted just details and totals combined, and 6 if i wanted details by load and totals on a separate sub report) it did give me a bit pf trouble with a #type! error when a sub report was blank (was fine on the report on screen, error only appeared on print when the empty sub reports would disappear, could not get them to not disappear for some reason it ignored the filter on empty master and the shrink options)
as i said, thank you, if anyone needs more detailed information on how to get around the #type! error or how i was able to get around the doubling problems feel free to ask ill post the whole ordeal XD
tho i must say, i even thought about having a way around this issue by making the report be a printable "web-form" XD
Dec 26, 2011 at 11:27 UTC
Hi ESR1,
Do you still want to do an online report?
We just finished doing some relatively simple online reports with a 3rd party company. In the end we hosted all our data with them but you don't have to. They do a lot of this type of thing.
We can share contact details with them if you still interested.
If not good luck anyway :)

Super-Yummy Banana Crepes
Recipe by 3greekkids
Nothing complicated here. Good, though. This will make 4 people a nice dessert after dinner, or 2 hungrier people something more substantial.
Top Review by Chef Buggsy Mate
My daughter and I made this for dessert tonight with a few slight changes. First off, we used real sugar and regular vanilla ice cream, we also omitted the graham cracker crumbs because we didn't have any. The flavor of the dish was wonderful and loved by all (family of 6). We drizzled a little warm caramel sauce over the top before serving. Thanks for sharing this wonderful keeper of a recipe.

Green Beans with Pecan Brown Butter
READY IN: 20mins
Top Review by Luby Luby Luby
I found that one minute was not nearly enough time to cook the beans. I added a little water, covered the skillet and cooked them for about 15 minutes. I then removed the lid and let the water evaporate. I think the recipe might work better if the beans are cooked separately and then added to the pecan-butter mixture.

As protests continue in the crowded city of Hong Kong, thousands of immigrants and low-income families live in tiny subdivided units, unable to afford sky-high rents. Meanwhile, leader Leung Chun-ying lives a lavish lifestyle in an upscale community.
Leung proved today that he is not a "man of the people". Instead, he came off as an elitist out of touch with the realities of living in Hong Kong.
He said that open elections shouldn't happen because "many poor" might end up dominating politics.
Leung gave the interview to the Financial Times, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal and reiterated his position that free elections were impossible:
"If it's entirely a numbers game—numeric representation—then obviously you'd be talking to half the people in Hong Kong [that] earn less than US$1,800 a month. You would end up with that kind of politics and policies."
Leung made millions in real estate and has the nickname "emperor of the working class." Already he has been hung in effigy, depicted as Dracula, and openly told to go to hell during the protests in Hong Kong.
"He wanted to present himself as someone from the grassroots, not linked to the tycoons... but people have been terribly disappointed," says Joseph Cheng, a professor of political science at City University of Hong Kong.
His attitude towards the poor seems to run in the family. Earlier this month, his daughter reportedly attacked posters online who criticized a necklace she was wearing in her profile picture.

On her Facebook page, she sarcastically thanks her detractors by pointing out that the necklace and her other expensive clothes were paid for by public funds through her father's salary. She added: "Most of you here are probably unemployed... it's okay - your mother still loves you."
Almost 20 percent of Hong Kong residents, or 1.31 million people, are under an official poverty line.

How can I make submitted files automatically accessible in the Google spreadsheet?Asked by capabeadtest on July 31, 2014 at 12:30 PM
My JotForm is connected to a Google spreadsheet, so when image files are uploaded via the form they appear on the spreadsheet. However, they show up in the spreadsheet as URL's. Is there any way to have the files immediately accessible from the spreadsheet once they're submitted, so that I don't have to copy and paste each URL individually?
JotForm Support
I am not entirely sure how the google spreadsheets treat uploads, but I believe if you set the uploads to be viewed rather than downloaded. The link to view the file should also be included in the spreadsheet.
To do this, change the properties of the "upload files" field
1) Click on the Gear icon
2)Click on Show Properties
3)Change the Download images option to "No"
This should instead give you the full URL for the image rather than having you download it.
You can also send file uploads to your google drive account to have a hard copy of the file:
Please let us know if this does not help and we will be happy to see what else we can find.
Thank you for using Jotform!

Family Business in Peru: Survival and Expansion under the Liberalization
It is argued that joint stock companies would be transformed from family firms to managerial firms with their development in size and scope. Such managerial firms would have many small shareholders; hence the ownership and management of the firm would be separated. However, in many developing countries including Peru, family businesses, in which families control both ownership and management, still play an important role in the national economy. After the liberalization of economy, which started in Peru in the 1990s, the national market has become more competitive due to the increase in participation of foreign capitals. To secure competitiveness, it is indispensable for family businesses to obtain management resources such as financial, human and technological resources from outside of the families. In order to do so without losing the control over ownership and management, Peruvian family businesses have incorporated companies with distinct characteristics to the extent that they can secure the control over ownership and management inside of their group. While keeping exclusive control of companies in traditional sectors, they actively seek alliance with other families and foreign capitals in competitive sectors. The management of companies with different degrees of control allows them to survive in today's rapidly changing business environment.

Fantastic Western Med cruise: Island Escape Cruise Review by Paulette Ashford
Overall Member Rating
Fantastic Western Med cruise
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
The cabin was adequate with plenty of storage and for saying we were on deck 3 surprisingly hardly any engine noise.
The food was great, plentiful and varied with two self service restaurant's to choose from.
The ports of call were Tangier, Casablanca, Gibraltar, Almeria, Cartagena and Palma. The trips like all other ships excursion's were way over priced.We just hopped in a local taxi or did the open top bus trip for a fraction of the cost.
We have been on other cruise liners and to be quite honest pound for pound you can't beat the homely feel that this ship has to offer. They make you feel part of the ships family and nothing is too much trouble for them.
I More look forward to my next cruise on Island Escape and to all those who moan about the old tired ship, I will never tire of her! Less

88 - 107 Final
Frye, Dudley lead Suns past Portland in Game 5Apr 27, 2010 - 6:57 AM
PHOENIX(AP) -- When the Phoenix Suns win in this playoff series, they win by a mile.
Channing Frye and Jared Dudley rediscovered their shooting touch in a 107-88 rout of Portland on Monday night that has the Suns one victory away from eliminating the Trail Blazers from the playoffs.
Frye scored 20 points and Dudley 19, the leaders of a Phoenix second unit that played a major role in putting the Suns up 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
"When everyone's getting involved," Dudley said, "it's hard to beat us."
Phoenix's three victories in the series have come by 29, 19 and 19 points, the losses by five and nine. The Suns can advance to the second round by beating the Trail Blazers in Portland on Thursday night.
The Phoenix reserves, an effective weapon in the regular season but not so much in the first four games of the playoffs, outscored their Portland counterparts 55-23.
"The second unit did a good job of getting themselves in the open court," coach Alvin Gentry said, "and when we do that with Channing and J.D. out there and they make a couple of 3-point shots for us, that makes all the difference in the world."
Frye, who spent the previous two seasons on the Portland bench, made 3-of-5 3-pointers and grabbed eight rebounds. Dudley was 5 of 9 on 3s.
"When they get going like that, we're a really good team," the Suns' Steve Nash said. "I think it's great for their confidence because we have a lot of confidence in them."
The Suns' two best 3-point shooters in the regular season, Frye and Dudley had been a combined 14 of 48 (29 percent) on 3s in the first four games of the series.
"To be honest, if I go 0 for 10, I could care less. It's not going to happen twice," Frye said. "That's how I feel every time I go out there, that it's only going to take one shot for me to get hot."
Amare Stoudemire scored 19, and Nash had 14 points and 10 assists for Phoenix.
Andre Miller scored 21, while LaMarcus Aldridge and Jerryd Bayless had 17 apiece for the Trail Blazers.
Portland All-Star Brandon Roy, in his second game back after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus just 10 days ago, drew three fouls in an ineffective 6 1/2 minutes in the first half. He finished with five points on 2-of-7 shooting in 19 minutes.
Roy has come off the bench in his two games back, but he said he will ask to start in Game 6.
"It's hard to get involved. I don't think the guys are quite used to me coming off the bench," he said. "It's hard for me to kind of get my touches and get into a rhythm."
The Trail Blazers made their first seven shots and were up 23-9, but it was fool's gold. The Suns had Portland playing in the up-tempo style in which Phoenix excels.
"Even when we were winning, we were playing their game," Aldridge said. "We were taking quick shots. They were going in so we felt good about it. But it really wasn't our style of play and I think the law of averages caught up. We don't really play that style of play. We should have slowed it down and played more of a halfcourt game."
On the other hand, the Suns weren't about to slow it down.
"They were making everything so it made it feel like we were running uphill," Nash said, "but I just felt like we had to think of this thing as long-term and think of it as the stock market. We're not day traders, we want to be very conservative and long-term in our investment in transition. You've got to stick with it from the start to finish."
The Suns tied it by late in the first quarter and Frye's 6-foot hook shot put Phoenix ahead for good 38-36. An 8-2 spurt over the final 2:17 gave Phoenix a 57-47 lead at the half. Frye and Dudley each had a 3-pointer in the run.
The closest the Trail Blazers got in the third quarter was 67-59 after Miller made a free throw with 4:14 to go.
Phoenix led by as many as 27 in the final quarter. The Suns dominated points in the paint 40-28 and had a 17-6 advantage in fast-break points. Phoenix, the NBA's highest-scoring team in the regular season, had just four fast-break points in each of its two losses in the series.
"You can't win when they're doing all that," Miller said. "Any time they get to the free throw (line) that many times and our turnovers lead to baskets and offensive rebounds lead to second-chance points, you're not going to win."
Phoenix made 27-of-29 free throws to the Trail Blazers' 17 of 24. The Suns outrebounded the bigger Trail Blazers 41-29.
"It's come down to the team who has been the aggressor," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "Tonight they pounded us on the boards. They outworked us on the boards."
NOTES: Suns C Robin Lopez, out with a back injury, was re-evaluated by a specialist and has been cleared for increased basketball activity. However, there is no word on when he might return to play. ... The winner of Game 5 after a 2-2 tie has gone on to win the series 83 percent of the time. ... If there is a Game 7, it will be Saturday in Phoenix. ... Take away Frye and Dudley, and Phoenix made 2-of-13 3s

"This course will challenge you to think about the 'why' as well as the 'how' of your practice, so that you evolve as a socially innovative designer and craftsperson who pushes the discipline in new and exciting directions."
Developing new ideas, materials and processes is at the core of the Design Crafts BA programme. This is achieved through a rigorous and rich approach to teaching and learning in an environment that is both stimulating and challenging, and by engaging in craft and making through live projects and placements.
This course focuses on the creative possibilities of designing through making, and invites you to immerse yourself in multi-disciplinary materials and processes. You will enjoy access to industry-leading workshops, experimenting and creating with metals, ceramics, plaster, glass, plastics, wood, textiles, printing, as well as new technologies such as 3D scanning and printing. From your own dedicated studio space in our state-of-the-art £80m facility, your making skills will be enhanced by a rigorous and questioning approach to critical thinking, enabling you to create innovative new possibilities and contexts for your work.
Led by highly regarded practitioners and expert technicians, the BA Design Crafts programme challenges conventional boundaries to reinvent traditions of making objects and products. The outcomes can have a multitude of contexts such as objects for the home, to decorate the body, for practical use or perhaps purely for contemplation. Anything is possible, and this degree will help you explore both established and new territories for making.
Live projects are embedded throughout the course and in the past students have worked with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture (MoDA). These will help will help you develop entrepreneurial skills and business acumen in order to establish yourself as an independent designer-maker producing your own designs in small batches or as one-offs. Your professional skills will be honed with practical briefs and specialist training. These skills may also open opportunities as a consultant to industry and manufacturers, for example as a freelance designer of jewellery, fashion accessories, or home-wares.
In addition to the standard three-year full-time course you also have the opportunity to incorporate an additional one-year professional practice placement for which you will receive an Advanced Diploma Professional Practice: Design Crafts at graduation.

"I'm interested in how you can make a practice from different elements that are very connected but may seem quite disparate. The world of work is changing; I have had quite a varied career, doing various things to put all my work together. We need to look at how to develop new modes of working so that we don't rely on old systems that aren't always sustainable.
"I really enjoy the open nature of Middlesex and the shared resources. You meet people and have conversations along the way, and that's the way things happen – new ideas and projects come out of these short conversations."
"The focus of my own practice is the badge as a tool for communication. I'm interested in how the arrangement and manipulation of materials can give ideas a physical voice and how that voice can be used to both clarify and misdirect.
"I'm continually impressed with the level of energy that emanates around the Art and Design School at Middlesex University. There's always something interesting going on, which gives you a real sense of being part of something bigger".
"I mainly make items for restaurants and have worked with some high profile clients, from the famous Fat Duck fine dining restaurant to the large chain, Zizzi. I make in-house, whole ranges of items for many London restaurants including the Clove Club, who recently received their first Michelin star.
"Middlesex University, while investing in lots of the new fabrication processes involving advances in computer technology, has also kept hold of many of the traditional hand-making and machining processes. We have some fantastic workshop equipment available to students. Other colleges have chosen to go completely 'digital' but for me there's so much to learn through making and it is vital to have that opportunity."
"I studied three-dimensional design – wood, metal, ceramics and glass. My most recent work concerns itself with the language of time. I am currently producing a series of timepieces questioning how time is read and represented.
"At Middlesex, having access to new technologies such as 3D printing alongside conventional workshop machinery makes for a highly exciting and versatile environment. We hope to step into the future with a firm grip on the past, embracing new technology but not losing traditional techniques. The most enjoyable part of my job is working alongside students, figuring out how to approach and solve problems both creatively and practically, enabling them to realise their ideas in full."
"At Middlesex, we have the equipment needed to make anything you want to do, from traditional jewellery to high-end wearable technology, print making and digital printing, handmade and 3D printing. One of the great parts of our facilities are the technicians, who are all makers too.
"I I love the different challenges that students bring with their ideas to make something new."
"I work with second and third year students and being able to spend two years with them, teaching them new skills and seeing them develop as designers and young adults, is really rewarding. Knowing you are sending talented, mature and skilful students out into the world gives you a huge sense of pride in your work.

Our highly efficient and rugged choices – for onshore and offshore mechanical drive and power generation
The PGT25 family of gas turbines draws its high efficiency and light weight from GE's aeroderivative technologies proven in energy applications and aircraft engines, while its ruggedness is inherited from our heavy-duty gas turbine designs. Evolution from the proven GE Oil & Gas models has ensured high reliability and availability for the unique demands of this industry.
The PGT25 is a simple cycle, two shaft gas turbine consisting of an LM2500 aero derivative gas generator coupled with a rugged, industrial power turbine. It leverages the best GE Oil & Gas technology to respond to the demands of a gas turbine in the 23 MW range with high efficiency, reliability and availability, and low environmental impact. PGT25 can operate on a large range of both liquid and gas fuels. It is assembled on a rigid, lightweight base plate with extensive use of standard components, preassembled and tested in the shop to minimize on-site assembly time. Easy maintainability is one of the main features: the gas generator and low pressure turbine (cartridge) can both be easily and quickly removed and replaced, in order to minimize downtime.
The LM2500 has accumulated several million fired hours in both aircraft engine and industrial applications (marine, onshore and offshore gas transmission) as mechanical drive and generator drive. It has a 16-stage axial-flow compressor capable of reaching an 18:1 pressure ratio. Inlet guide vanes and adjustable stator vanes on the first six compressor stages provide for efficient operation over the entire operating range.
The power turbine components are based on GE's extensive experience with heavy-duty gas turbines and axial/centrifugal compressors. Aerodynamic blading obtains very high efficiency at both design and reduced speeds. The 6,500 RPM design speed means the turbine can have two stages with a moderate aerodynamic load and a high expansion efficiency. The two expansion stages have a high-energy, three-dimensional design.
The PGT25+ gas turbine was developed for 30 MW ISO shaft power service with the highest thermal efficiency level (approx. 41%). Its LM2500+ gas generator (updated version of the LM2500 – various technology enhancements include a zero stage added to the axial compressor) is coupled with a 6,100 RPM, two-stage, high-speed power turbine. The LM2500+ is designed for ease of maintenance, high availability, reliability and efficiency. Specialized aeroderivative annular combustion chamber fuel nozzles make the PGT25+ ideal for a wide range of mechanical drive (gas pipeline, etc.), power generation, industrial cogeneration, and offshore platform uses in any environment. Engineering simplicity and advanced materials yield long times between overhauls and lower maintenance costs.
The gas generator is based on the LM2500+ design with enhancements to increase flow and temperature capabilities. The 6,100 RPM power turbine, from our proven PGT25+, is capable of direct coupling to the driven equipment for simplicity and improved efficiency and maintenance. The annular combustor is from the LM2500+ with modifications to enable higher firing temperature, reduce maintenance cycle time, and keep NOx at LM2500+ levels even at higher firing temperatures.
The enhanced PGT25+G4 package is a modular solution for improved integration of auxiliaries, reduced installation and commissioning time, and easy maintainability. Upgrade kits are also available for the installed base of PGT25+ units to increase output power by 10%.
This simple-cycle, two-shaft, high-performance gas turbine is derived from GE's CF6-80C2, the aircraft industry standard for high-thrust engines. The unit delivers more than 44.8 MW at over 42.7% thermal efficiency. Direct drive provides 60,000 shaft HP from either end of the low pressure rotor for a wide range of electric power generation and mechanical drive applications in any environment. High thermal efficiency, low cost and installation flexibility make the LM6000 the ideal choice as a prime driver for utility peaking, mid-range, and base load operations, as well as for industrial cogeneration. It allows full speed-range capability from 50-105% of the rated speed of 3,600 RPM.
Continuing the tradition of the established record of GE's LM2500, the LM6000 is an ideal source of drive-power for pipeline compression, offshore platforms, gas re-injection and LNG compression. The LM6000 was GE's first aeroderivative gas turbine to employ the new Dry Low Emissions (DLE) premixed combustion system. DLE dual fuel, water or steam injection can also be used to achieve low NOx emissions.
The LM9000 is the newest addition to aero family of gas turbines. It is the most competitive gas turbine for LNG mechanical drive in the 65+ MW class. It offers the highest availability, best-in-class total cost of ownership, and DLE technology that enables dual fuel capability and reduces NOx emissions while eliminating water use in emissions abatement.
Ideal for mechanical drive, the LM9000 is also well suited for simple-cycle (peaking, mid-merit, baseload), cogeneration, and combined-cycle power generation. With 43% simple-cycle efficiency, and over 80% efficiency in cogeneration configuration, this turbine can deliver a precise, dependable, safe, and flexible energy supply.
This new gas turbine is derived from the proven GE90-115B — Boeing's 777 aircraft engine since 2004 — with 42 million flight hours and 99.98% departure reliability across a fleet of 2,000 engines. Compared to typical non-GE options for mechanical drive or power generation applications, LM9000 provides 50% longer maintenance interval, 40% lower NOx emissions, 20% more power, use of 25% fewer trains per application — and 20% lower total cost of ownership.
This powerful machine represents the most extensive collaboration of design and manufacturing expertise in the history of GE – drawing proven design advantages from GE Aviation's CF6-80C2/80E and GE Energy's Frame 6FA+e gas turbine. This simple-cycle, three-shaft gas turbine uses intercooling technology to increase power and efficiency. At more than 100 MW or 134,000 shaft horsepower and 46% efficiency, the LMS100 provides the highest level of performance of any aeroderivative gas turbine.
Its aeroderivative core and free power turbine allow operating flexibility not seen in other gas turbines of its size. The free power turbine is ideal for mechanical drive applications due to the simple change-out of the first stage nozzle to optimize performance for 3,000 or 3,600 rpm drive shaft speeds and is capable to operate over a wide range of speeds. Its partial speed efficiency and ability to maintain power and efficiency at higher ambient temperatures is also better than other gas turbines in its class. The modular design and ability to change-out the supercore (core + intermediate pressure turbine assembly) engine in 24 hours, provides increased availability. The LMS100 utilizes a single design for 50Hz, 60Hz and mechanical drive with one common gas turbine, which improves fleet reliability.
PGT25 to Hi-Flow uprate
This retrofit increases flow capacity to achieve a significant increase in shaft output power (15% on ISO condition and at least 10% over a large ambient temperature range) and cycle efficiency. It can operate with steam injection for NOx abatement with a variety of fuels including natural gas, syngas, medium BTU gas, liquid fuel, dual fuel or Bi-fuel. DLE applications include gas only at 25 ppmvd and dual fuel running on liquid at 100 ppmvd.
PGT25+ to PGT25+G4 uprate
The PGT25+G4, with a rated ISO shaft power output of 34 MW and 41% efficiency (DLE version), is the largest machine in GE's PGT25 series. The uprate increases flow capacity in the HP compressor, and HP and LP turbines; it achieves significant increase in shaft output power with limited modifications to the existing package. Additional cooling manifold and heat shield result in higher HSPT reliability. If planned concurrent with a major overhaul of the existing PGT25+ and with a buy back of the existing LM2500+, this uprate has a small incremental cost and a relatively short pay-back period.

Vodafone iPhone deal relies upon subsidy
The fight between European network operators to retain the legal rights to distribute the iPhone continues, with Vodafone once more referred to as the leading-runner.
Reviews now suggest Apple and Vodafone stay in foretells bring the must-have device to Europe, but final agreement relies upon volume guarantees and subsidies.
Unlike Cingular/AT&T, Vodafone really wants to have the ability to subsidize the telephone and does not want Apple to keep charge of iPhone purchase prices.
It's known that seven million United kingdom mobile customers might be enticed to change towards the device if this ships, but more conservative estimations suggest 6 000 0000 models from the device will sell within the first 3 years.
Vodafone provides a strong 3G network and sells its very own selection of 3G modems for Macs, although the iPhone as introduced in america lacks 3G support.

I was dating this guy for 3 months, he recently broke it off with me a few days ago. When i asked why he didn't want to see me anymore he stated that I did not mesh well with his friends because I was quiet around them. Mind you, I only met them a handful of times and each time it was in their house and these are all people who have known eachother for years, i spoke to them when spoken to and was very friendly with them even though it was slightly intimidating being around that many outgoing people. He also stated to me that i did not fit in with them and he wanted somebody more outgoing like him. He then proceeded to tell me that i come from too much of a messy past and he did not want to deal with my past relationship drama. (Been single 3 years) was in a 5 yr long relationship with my cheating/ semi abusive ex. I layed all my cards out from day one with this guy i was dating, i am 23.. he is 26. During this time of dating we only saw eachother once a week as he claimed to be busy working 2 jobs. It was no big deal for me because I have a life too. When he broke it off with me he stated he had no feelings for me and wanted to end it because he saw some things about me he didn't like. Being kind of shy, past relationships and my upfront personality. I am truly heart broken that someone cannot accept me for who i am. I just want to know if any of this makes sense to any guys or if its a valid reason to write someone off. He really made it seem like he cared and liked me a lot, however it seems that was not the case. And he broke things off with me over the phone. He stated multiple times how he has a lot of girls throwing themselves at him and what not. I was not one to chase him, i gave him space, and we had 2 miscommunications because of it. He stated when i was insecure because i asked why in the 3 months of dating he never complimented me, i asked if i was his type and he completely flipped out on me and turned it into a huge argument when it was not even for all of that. What do you guys think of this? I will provide more detail if needed, this is just the surface stuff that happened.

As I pass the many flags out.
I wonder what soldier gave their life for it. The tears and joy for every soldier that comes home.
But we cannot forget the one who died a long the way. Their souls and memories should never be forgotten.
They gave their lives for our freedom. Now we give our love for their lives.

Adam Tanaka is a PhD candidate in urban planning at Harvard University with a particular focus on affordable housing and real estate development. His research interests lie at the confluence of urban history, political science and business studies.
For the 2016-2017 academic year, Adam will be based at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study writing his dissertation on large-scale, middle-income housing in New York City. Offering a counterpoint to familiar narratives of postwar suburbanization and central city disinvestment, Adam's dissertation analyzes a number of vast planned communities built for middle class New Yorkers from the 1940s through 1970s. The dissertation investigates the political and financial alliances that facilitated these projects – many of which remain the largest of their kind in the world – as well as the factors that abruptly terminated this "large-scale approach" in the mid-1970s.
Adam received a BA in art history and urban studies from Princeton University and an AM in Urban Planning from Harvard. For the 2015-2016 academic year, he was a visiting scholar at the NYU Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy and the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies Dissertation Fellow. Over the course of his doctoral studies, he has worked for a variety of New York City agencies on affordable housing, public finance and land use-related matters. He has also been invited by affordable housing advocacy groups to participate in televised interviews and testify at City Council hearings.
Adam has experience teaching undergraduate, professional degree and executive education students, and received a Certificate of Distinction in Teaching in spring 2014 for his work in the FAS course "Designing the American City." In summer 2015, he taught the Harvard Summer School program "Biology and the Evolution of Paris as a Smart City," a project-based urban planning course in partnership with the Parisian municipal government.

Notifications for suspicious activity Always use https (SSL) Defend against reverse engineering Share this Slideshow Direct link: Steve Traynor/IDG Trivial matter? The average user has around 26 to 55 applications downloaded to his smartphone device. Most likely, you have entertainment and gaming apps, a banking app, a few social media apps, fitness apps, and eCommerce apps to shop at your favorite stores.While you probably don't care if an app like TriviaCrack gets hacked, a lot of your apps have information that you wouldn't want anyone else to access; your location, credit and debit card information, and photos.As a user, there are actions you can take to make sure your apps are secure; from a development standpoint, you must consider certain protocols to ensure that the application's code doesn't get hacked. Keval Baxi, CEO of Codal walks through ways to shore up your apps. Thinkstock Use a token-based authentication to access APIs A lot of mobile applications do not use proper authentication methods, which is what leaks data. A "token" is a bit of data that doesn't have much meaning by itself, but with the precise tokenization system, it becomes a crucial aspect in securing your mobile app. Token-based authentication ensures that every API request to the server is verified for authenticity, and only responds to the request once it is verified. Thinkstock Use Android KeyChain and iCloud Keychain to store sensitive information A keychain on a mobile device is a secure storage container to keep your data such as logins, usernames and passwords for all of your applications. It's better for developers to leverage this feature of the operating system for data storage, rather than storing it themselves via p-list files, or NSUserDefaults. Using the keychain also allows the user to not have to login every time the application is opened. Steve Traynor/IDG Use encryption while saving any user data in local database Encryption is the process of translating data and plaintext into a "secret code", called ciphertext. For the ability to read ciphertext, you either need to have a password to decrypt it, or use a secret key, making encryption one of the most efficient ways to secure your data. ar130405 Use the fingerprint lock for an app login, instead of a username and password According to Apple, the probability of a match on your fingerprint is 1 in 50,000, while the match for a four-digit passcode is 1 in 10,000. This makes a fingerprint login far more secure than using a traditional passcode. Every fingerprint is unique to the user, whereas a password is not. As of iOS version 8, Apple opened the doors for developers to Touch ID, making an API available to use in the SDK (software development kit). RELATED: The future of biometrics and IoT Steve Traynor/IDG Notifications for suspicious activity When a user logs into an app from a new device, or from a new, unknown location, a notification can be sent to the user through email, text, or a push notification to verify that this login was them. There are very few apps that do this, Gmail being one of them. A notification to verify that a login was them will ensure that the user will be aware if a hack occurs. Thinkstock Always use https (SSL) Installing SSL to the server gives a developer the ability to use the HTTPS protocol, which should always be used for maximum security. HTTPS helps prevent an intruder from interfering with the transfer of data between an app, and its server. Thinkstock Defend against reverse engineering It's not impossible for developers to reverse engineer an app, to take data and source code away. To prevent this from happening, you can confuse the hacker by changing the name of important classes and methods in the preprocessor. A second solution is to dissemble the symbol table after the project is complete.RELATED: 5 active mobile threats spoofing enterprise apps Next Up: Check out these related slideshows 10 screen-sharing apps offer easy collaboration FBI's top 10 most wanted cybercriminals Incident response is like tracking down a perpetrator How to counteract another 'Dyn-like' attack 6 things you need to know about IoT security 63% off Anker SoundCore 2 Bluetooth Speaker with 24-Hour Playtime - Deal Alert 60% off Logitech G105 Gaming Keyboard - Deal Alert 65% off AcuRite Refrigerator/Freezer Wireless Digital Thermometer - Deal Alert Related Slideshows 10 screen-sharing apps offer easy collaboration FBI's top 10 most wanted cybercriminals Incident response is like tracking down a perpetrator How to counteract another 'Dyn-like' attack 6 things you need to know about IoT security Teenagers who became hackers You Might Like Email a friend To Use commas to separate multiple email addresses From Privacy Policy Thank you Your message has been sent.
