A new envelope opener
During his time as the NBA's Deputy Commissioner, Adam Silver presided over the NBA Lottery. From 200t to 2013, the job of opening envelopes was his. With Silver now installed as the Commissioner, the job gets turned over to the new Deputy: Mark Tatum.
Where David Stern and Silver came to the NBA with backgrounds as lawyers, Tatum comes from the business side of basketball. In his 15 years working for the league, Tatum has become its marketing guru, working with companies like Coca-Cola, Gatorade, and Nike. According to David Aldridge of NBA.com, Tatum is both African American and Vietnamese and is the highest ranking executive of color in a major professional sports league.
Tatum was also the person who went to Los Angeles to address the employees of the Clippers immediately after the announcement of owner Donald Sterling's lifetime ban from the league.
In the late 1990s, Tatum was president of a cohort of about 80 students at Harvard Business School who were infamous for a sexual harassment epidemic. He appears to have been on the right side of the issue, trying first to lead a public discussion on the matter, then later petitioning school administrators to intervene. His graduation speech, given a few days after the original report was published, concludes with a plea to current students about stewarding the future of the school in the right direction.
At 7 PM CT Tuesday night, The Bucks will find out their future at the hands of Tatum. But if you're heartstrings still ache nostalgic for the Deputy Silver Era, here is a clip with Silver's first national TV moments from 2007.
The procedure and the math
In a secret room isolated from all outside communication, the lottery winner will be determined by picking four balls from a vat of balls numbered from 1 to 14 — with no attention paid to the order in which the numbers are picked. There are 14*13*12*11 = 24,024 ways of picking four balls from the vat, and 4*3*2*1 = 24 ways to order them. As a result, there are 24,024/24 = 1001 groups of four balls that may be picked.
To make an even 1000 possibilities, the combination 11-12-13-14 is thrown out. Each team gets a fixed number of the 1000 combinations; the Bucks have the most with 250. That leaves the Bucks with a 25% chance of winning the lottery, a result that will be revealed hours later on a TV broadcast from New York's Times Square Theater.
A slight change in the odds
After the winner is picked, the process of picking 4 balls from 14 is repeated twice more. If a combination is picked that belongs to a team that was already chosen, then the result is thrown out and the selection done over again.
The remaining 11 teams then get picks 4 through 14 in the draft in reverse order of their winning percentage. With the worst record of 2013-14, the Bucks are guaranteed to finish with no worse than the fourth pick.
Because Boston and Utah finished tied in the standings at the end of the year, their respective pool of winning combinations was split more evenly than the usual divvy for two consecutive teams in the standings. The result is that Milwaukee's chances of winning get a microscopic tweak for the worse.
It's not a huge difference, or even a realistically significant difference, but yes, it is slightly more likely that the Bucks get leapfrogged for a top-3 pick.
What is PMNDNCDSLBU?
PMNDNCDSLBU is the order of the teams ranked 4th through 14th in the lottery's odds, starting with the Phoenix Suns, holder of the best non-playoff regular season record . These eleven teams will have their envelopes opened in the order below unless they jump into the top 3 spots.
New York
New Orleans
Los Angeles
Why does that matter?
As soon as a team gets left out of this ordering scheme, it means that team jumped into one of the top-3 spots — making it substantially less likely that the Bucks crack their way into the same group. If one or more of these PMNDNCDSLBU teams lands in the top 3, then an equal number of the three squads with the worst records — Milwaukee, Philadelphia or Orlando — get bumped out.
So get familiar with this order. In fact, in probably needs some type of mnemonic acronym. How about this one?
Commit this to memory and you'll be fully ready for the draft.

A new era of American Apparel is on the horizon. The clothing company's creator and CEO Dov Charney has been ousted by the company's board of directors, who told the Los Angeles Times that their decision "grew out of an ongoing investigation into alleged misconduct."
Charney has been the constant source of headlines, avoiding lawsuits and allegations for years. There have been claims of sexual harassment, racism, and workplace complaints in the midst of years of serious financial troubles.
The newly-appointed co-chairman of the company, Allan Mayer spoke to the paper about the board's decision.
"We take no joy in this, but the board felt it was the right thing to do," Mayer said in the statement. "Dov Charney created American Apparel, but the company has grown much larger than any one individual and we are confident that its greatest days are still ahead."
The company has been suffering financially, reporting a net loss of $106.3 million in 2013.
"This is not easy, but we felt the need to do what we did for the sake of the company," Mayer continued. "Our decision to do what we did was not the result of any problems with the company's operations."

New Year's Resolutions, Here We Come!
A "debate" between Leo Babauta of Zen Habits and Tim Ferriss of Four Hour Work Week on the virtues and vices of setting goals. And some things to be wary of as we prepare our New Year's Resolutions (admit it, you do it, too).
Babauta's argument is that goals prevent you from living in the now (the familiar journey > destination philosophy). And not only can a fixation on the destination distract you from the journey, it can set you up for failure. After all, most of us never reach the destination!
Ferriss' argument is that failing to reach the destination is only detrimental if you expect to make it one hundred percent of the way. His advice, paraphrasing Google's Larry Page, is that rarely do we fail completely — if we aim high enough. So aim high, but expect only to succeed partially.
This year, don't plot your resolution in a straight line culminating in life-changing success — and where any point along the continuum, if you happen to come up short, equals utter and complete failure.
Instead, think of your resolution as a terrain in which to wander. Start off in a pre-determined direction, sure. But don't expect to make it all the way to the other side. Better yet, remain open to opportunity along the way, so as not to miss anything by fixating on the destination.

Performance pay and corporate structure in UK firms
This paper documents the incidence of modern pay practices in UK companies. In particular we show that share-based compensation schemes have grown in popularity and are now in operation in half our sample of companies. The results also reveal three quarters of companies operating individual performance related pay schemes and a large growth in the incidence of skill and team-based pay. We combine this analysis with results showing that, despite some theoretical reasons for thinking otherwise, large firms are more likely to adopt these modern pay practices, and show that such adoption is also linked with significant organisational design change through delayering.

"They cannot land at the helicopter pad at the hospital. That is flooded. They are landing on a parking garage, taking patients off the parking garage, transporting them to the Baton Rouge airport, loading them up on airplanes or in ambulances and then making their way back."
"They will also have to pay extinguishing costs, which (are) pretty high considering we used helicopters. Landowners should be well insured."
"We called Refugio County for assistance and fortunately there was a DPS Task Force in the area with a helicopter available."
"You can't predict the future based on the past. Lifting 30,000 people off rooftops with helicopters is not going to work."
"Fire crews are telling me that there is a helicopter on scene and they are telling me there is nothing they can do at this point but just let it burn. The good news is that there are not structures in the area."
"We were traveling along the highway, on a beautiful spring day ... and suddenly we saw a helicopter swoop down and anti-terror forces speed by. Suddenly we saw a car with security forces surrounding it. They even came out of the bushes."

FUTURE cuts of as much as £98m will be debated today at a full county council meeting.
As reported, jobs and public services in Hampshire will face a fresh round of cutbacks between 2016 and 2018.
It follows five years of austerity amid ever shrinking Government funding that has led to the county council clawing back £250,000 over five years.
Bosses blame rocketing child and adult social care costs.
Where the axe will fall has not been revealed, but departments are being warned that it could mean reducing budgets by an unprecedented 14 per cent.
But unions say that as well as threatening hundreds of council jobs, there is a risk to public services.

! Sugar level !
Hi guys personal help here needed,since around 5-7 years ago i go threw phases during the year that i suffer from low sugar levels. I could be with my girlfriend out for dinner have a good steak or what ever but i must be full up and when i finish eating of a sudden i fell very weak i go pail and i reach a point of nearly fainting. when this happens i ask my gf to get me a glass of water with lots of sugar in it ,after i drink the water i start to get back to normal again. As i only smoke a few cigarettes when i go out for a few drinks, i could just have 1 puff and again my sugar level drop of of a sudden.
Could anyone tell me why this happens ? how could i avoid this
Bro, it sounds like something a doctor should determine. Maybe you're hypoglycemic?
yo go check with your doctor man.
That kind of stuff you should not fool around with. Its best not to speculate. See a Doc and have him/her do a once over.

Entry #5
I launched a Kickstarter for my two video series last night.
Be sure to check it out and give a hand! I'm already incorporating some Newgrounds audio here and there (with proper permissions, of course), but I'd love to see more assistance from the Portal.
The two series are OUYA OhYeah! - an OUYA focused review series, and Family Man Gamer - a general review series based on a family perspective.
More about the series can be read on the Kickstarter. Also check me out on YouTube and subscribe for more!

I watched you first episode of OUYA Oh Yeah! And after watching it, I've decided that I'm not going to back you.
The review I watched was more informative than enjoyable to me, and if that is what you are trying to do then that's fine, but I was struggling to watch because it felt like a very bland review. You also don't really state your opinions very much in the reviews either, and again, if you are trying to review for everyone, you've nailed it, but I myself was expecting a little more about what you really thought about the overall game.
I hope everything works out for you, but I really cannot see myself backing you. Good luck Marcus.
Did you check out the second episode? Its a little better than the first. A lot of this is still a process.
I find that the main issue with reviews nowadays is the overload of personal opinion, which leads to unnecessary bias.
I'm not trying to change your mind about backing. I respect your reasons. I am working on finding a good writing method for these reviews that will allow my opinions to be expressed without bias, and that's a difficult line to balance on.
Thank you for your honesty. It will help with future production.

I am not sure but should the article for Jessie's Blissey be made? It was as notable as Orville or Nero. Jmath 18:25, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
It's really Nurse Joy's Blissey, because it is employed at the Pokémon Center, but I still don't think so--KukiTalk 18:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- It was Jessie's friend and there is also a lot of back story, enough for a good article. Jmath 18:31, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Experience Yield
Could someone please fix the part that says about how much experience a Blissey would yield? I hava problems with English grammar since I'm not a native speaker and never left Brazil. According to the formula here, Experience Yield = (a x b x L)/7 A level 100 Blissey who belongs to a trainer would yield 5464 experience points. In order to reach the written value in the article (13933) we would need to multiply x1,5 (Lucky Egg) and x1,7 (traded Pokémon from a foreing country) This is to note the maximum experience one could get from defeating a single Pokémon in the games, even if such encounters (lv 100 Blissey, Arceus or Chansey) aren't possible. It would be interesting if someone could say if it is the maximum base experience yield or not (for instance, we know Blissey's base HP is 255 and there can't be a value higher than that. I don't know, however, if there can be a base experience yield higher than 255) The same goes for the articles about Arceus and Chansey . Gabriel Rocha 15:58, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Trivia Section:R/S&FRLG Sprite vs. Emerald Sprite
In case anyone noticed,the Ruby/Sapphire/FireRed/LeafGreen Sprite of Blissey has little grey spots on the egg,while the Emerald one is purely white.Trivia? - unsigned comment from Uxie legend (talk • contribs)
Why is this article still locked? Ztobor 00:30, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Base Experience
I haven't played Black and White yet, but I noticed that it seems that Blissey's Base Exp. has suffered a great value change. I wonder if we shouldn't add something like this: Base Exp: Current. That seems to be a standard for other things, like catch rates, if I my memory does not betray me...

Milz and Lesagonicz are the league leaders, tied with 223 averages. Milz recently led 10 honor counts with a league-best 795 series (259, 266, 270), which topped Lesagonicz�s 775.
�I like the competition,� said Lesagonicz, who works in research and development for Kerry Ingredients in Beloit. �In bowling, you compete to the level of bowlers you�re bowling with, and if they�re bowling 160, it�s hard to push yourself to be better.��
Lesagonicz, a 27-year-old native of Redding, Pa., bowled competitively her freshman year at Shippensburg (Pa.) University and for three years at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., which is just outside of St. Louis.
Lesagonicz accomplishments at Lindenwood include winning the USBC tournament with the Lions in 2006 at Rockford, Ill., while qualifying in 2004 and 2005.
�Her mechanics are clean, and she has good balance,� Jones said. �You can tell she has been coached.��
Lesagonicz has bowled two sanctioned perfect games, while her best average is 226, which she posted last year.
�It�s kind of funny,� Lesagonicz said. �I bowled my first 300 when I was 16, and I
didn�t roll another until a Thanksgiving tournament in Beloit.��
Taylor Biggerstaff was 15 when she rolled her first 300, in February of 2006.
Biggerstaff, a standout in the Janesville youth leagues and Parker High School, said she enjoys stepping up to the adult competition of the Women�s City League.
�For me, there was competition at the high school and junior leagues, but the women I bowl against are very good, and you have to get better.��
Biggerstaff is impressed with Milz and Lesagonicz.
�I watch (Milz) all the time, and I love the way she bowls,� Biggerstaff said. �Her bad night is a 650. (Lesagonicz) is a very good bowler. When she throws her ball, you don�t hear it hit the lane.��
The 20-year-old Biggerstaff, who is in her second year in the administrative professional program at Blackhawk Tech, has a 198 average in the Women�s City League and is battling to reach 200.
�My average is almost 200,� she said. �I�ve been fighting for two more pins.��
Roeber, a 2010 Parker High graduate and UW-Whitewater freshman, holds 205 league average and is enjoying bowling with Milz and Lesagonicz.
�They are really good and consistent,� said Roeber, who enjoys bowling with her cousin, Crystal. �It makes me feel like I want to be that good. I like the competition and bowling with good bowlers.��
Clatworthy, a Janesville Craig graduate, has been in the Women�s City League for two years and is comfortable with the competition.
�I would say there is more competition, but it basically is one of those things where I have fun,� Clatworthy said. �We are all very talented.��
Clatworthy likes to watch Lesagonicz and Milz.
�(Lesagonicz) throws an amazing ball,� Clatworthy said. �It�s precise and accurate every time. It�s astonishing. I�ve never seen that before, and Holly is everybody�s main competition.�
The competition is growing up, however, and leaving a mark in the Women�s City League.

Brazilian Keratin Treatment Explained
Is your hair is dull, dry or damaged? Is it curly, wavy, frizzy or unmanageable? If you answered 'yes' to any of the above then you could benefit from the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. This revolutionary treatment uses keratin to help strengthen and improve the condition of damaged hair. Keratin is a unique protein with strong protective qualities to improve the condition of the hair both inside and out. Not only does the Brazilian Keratin Treatment instantly improve the condition and manageability of the hair, it also protects the hair from further damage.
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment brings damaged hair back to life and gives it the moisture injection that it so desperately is in need of. If you hair is naturally curly or frizzy, then chances are it is inherently dry and coarse, and it can be incredibly difficult to improve the texture. That is until the Brazilian Keratin Treatment! Now with the help of this treatment your hair will be incredibly strong, the elasticity will improve and it will feel soft and smooth.
As well as improving the condition and manageability of your hair, the Brazilian Keratin Treatment can also deliver a straight, smooth finish. The treatment will coat the hair cuticle and protect it from exterior environmental factors such as UV rays, moisture and heat. After the treatment your hair will no longer become a frizzy mass at the mere mention of rain, in fact it will retain its smooth, straight shape without the faintest hint of frizz!
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment is perfect treatment for those who struggle to tame their unruly curls. Living with curly hair can be difficult and it can take hours of using straightening irons and products to make it smooth and sleek. And after all that, it doesn't always stay that way, and using heat on a regular basis can really cause damage to your hair.
Unlike other hair straightening treatments, the Brazilian Keratin Treatment does not use any harsh chemicals that could damage the hair. The keratin-rich treatment is a natural solution which works with the hair cuticles to make it softer and more manageable than ever before.
The Brazilian Keratin Treatment actually works better on damaged hair, in some cases the more damaged the hair, the longer the results last. For most people the treatment will last anywhere between two and four months. The treatment is not permanent; the keratin-based solution gradually wears off as you wash your hair until your hair is back to its natural state. Your hair will stay soft, shiny and healthy looking but you will need to repeat the treatment if you want to your hair to stay straight. The more times you undergo the treatment, the healthier and more manageable the hair will become.
If you despise spending hours blow drying and straightening your hair in the morning then this treatment is for you. The Brazilian Blow Dry can dramatically reduce your styling time as your new hair will require a lot less blow drying time. As you are spending less time using heat directly on your hair, the condition of your hair will improve overall and you won't be inflicting any extra damage either.
If you crave hassle-free, straight, smooth, healthy looking hair then the Brazilian Keratin Treatment is the treatment for you!

Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Can I use a voucher after it has expired?
Voucher redemption is at the discretion of the business providing the service or product. Most businesses tend to enforce the validity terms of the voucher and often are not able to extend past the validity date. We always prefer if our members can use their voucher at any time, but unfortunately, redemption after expiry is purely at the discretion of the business.
Please note, many businesses book out prior to the voucher expiry - we suggest making a booking at least four weeks prior to the end of the validity period (and if you're trying to get a booking for a popular time, like a weekend, the booking should be made as soon as possible. The earlier you book, the more likely it is that you will get your preferred booking time!)
It is very rare for Ouffer to issue a refund in cases where the voucher has expired. Most offers have a redemption period of at least 3 months, which is usually plenty of time for all purchasers to use their voucher. In any case - the expiry date of each offer is clearly stated in the "Fine Print" section of the offer page, and it is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that they have availed of the offer before this date!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How can I resolve an issue with a past/present offer?
Please note that Ouffer is the medium through which businesses feature their services, and cannot be held responsible for the services provided by such businesses. If you have a complaint about a featured business or the service that they have provided, the first step should be to contact the business directly. They may be able to take steps to resolve the situation, which will usually be similar to steps taken when dealing with any customer complaint.
You will be able to find contact details for the featured business on the offer-page. Other conditions (such as the expiry date) can be found in the "Company" section of the offer-page.
Alternatively, you can ask the Ouffer Customer Experience Team and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please note, it is really important whenever making a refund request to provide very detailed and accurate information - if any information provided is false, we will not be able to provide a refund to you.
We always provide a credit or refund when a business is no longer operating and you have a valid voucher. You can find our Refund Policy at http://experiences.ouffer.com/refund-policy-adma for further information.
If you would like a refund for any other reason, please let us know via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Our support team will always do their best to assist.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How can I resolve an issue with a product I purchased?
If you've purchased a product that you redeemed directly with a vendor, the first step is to try to contact them - their details should be on the voucher.
If you the vendor isn't getting back to you, or if you've purchased a product that was shipped directly to you without the need to redeem your voucher, please let us know exactly what the difficulties you have are by email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll do our best to help!
We are only able to offer refunds in cases where items are faulty, damaged or incorrectly advertised.

+How can I unsubscribe from receiving your emails?
If you would like to unsubscribe from receiving emails from Ouffer in future, please go to My Account and then click on My Subscriptions.
On that page you can choose exactly what emails you want (you can even choose to receive an email once a week, instead of every day) or you can unsubscribe from all our emails in just a few quick clicks!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How do I buy an offer?
Firstly, make sure you are signed up!
Then, after logging in - click 'Buy Now' towards the top-right of the offer page. On the next page, you will be asked to confirm the quantity of vouchers that you wish to purchase (if you're using credits to purchase, this is where you can select how much credit you want to use).
If you're buying a product, you may also be required to provide your Postal Address, or your choice of redemption location. Always make sure you enter the correct address for delivery.
Once you've done all that, you can then go ahead and click "Complete My Order" towards the bottom of the page. The number of credits selected (if any) will be deducted from the cost of the voucher, and the corresponding number of credits removed from your account.
Follow the on-screen instructions from here - you can pay via a registered PayPal account, or using your credit/debit card.
As always, if you you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How do I locate my voucher?
After you buy a voucher, you'll get an email with a link to download (and print) your voucher. Unfortunately, some mail servers automatically transfer our emails to your 'junk' mail box.
(If you haven't been getting our emails, it's also a good idea to make sure that you added us as a 'safe sender' to make sure our emails aren't going to your junk box!)
But, you can also actually log into your account and print the vouchers off whenever you like! Here's how:
- Sign into the site,
- Hover over "My Account" at the top-middle of the screen.
- Choose "My Ouffers" from the drop-down menu.
- Choose "All" towards the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click "View/Print" next to the voucher you need to view/print.
Instructions on how to redeem the voucher will be contained on the voucher itself.
Things to keep in mind:
Lots of our members have more than one email address – if you log into your account and you can't find your voucher, you may have used a different email address to purchase – for example your work email or your personal email address. Try all the email addresses you have and if you still can't find it, let us know.
If you used PayPal to purchase, what happens is that a new account will be created using your PayPal email address. If your login email for PayPal and Ouffer are the same then there won't be any problems, but if you use a different address for PayPal, a new Ouffer account with that PayPal email will be created. Your voucher will be placed in that account.
If you purchased a voucher and it isn't showing up, the next step is to check your credit card statement (on-line if you have access!). If there is a charge there, please send an email right away to Ouffer so the team can investigate it for you. Please include as much detail as possible to help us assist you as quick as we can.

+How do I refer a friend?
In order to refer a friend to Ouffer, you just need to…
First log in to Ouffer! After logging in, in the top corner of the page, there is a link which says "Invite Friends, get $5". You will then be taken to a page that provides personal "referral link". You can copy and paste this link into an email to all of your family and friends (or even use the Facebook and Twitter sharing buttons). If any of your friends sign up to Ouffer, we'll give you $5 credit as soon as they make their first purchase.
If you have any questions about referring friends, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I've booked my travel dates with the hotel - am I able to change them?
Most of our hotel partners allow one change of date, however, that will depend on the hotel's cancellation policy (and how far away your booking is). If your booking is for tomorrow, it is unlikely you will be able to change your travel date, however, if your booking is six months away, most hotels will accommodate a change of date. Some hotels may charge a small administrative fee for any chances (at their own discretion).
We're more than happy to assist where we can, but any date requests need to be made with the hotel directly.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I bought a gift voucher, how do I find it?
At the end of the offer, we will send a link to download the gift voucher – exactly like a normal voucher. You can send the voucher as a PDF to the lucky recipient, or you can print it off and combine I with a card if you prefer!
To find your gift vouchers you just need to log on to Ouffer and then click on the "My Account" link, which appears once you have signed in, and select My Ouffers.
Once you've logged in you will notice several tabs, 'Active', 'Used', 'Offered', 'Expired' and 'All' If you click on Offered you'll be able to see any gift vouchers you've bought!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I bought an offer - what do I do now?
You will find instructions on how to redeem the offer on the voucher itself. Depending on the offer you've purchased, you may need to contact the featured business to make a booking - contact details will be provided on the voucher. You may also find them in the "Fine Print" or "Company" section on the offer page, along with any other conditions relevant to that particular offer.
Your redemption code is the code printed at the top of your voucher - in almost all cases, you will need to give this code when redeeming the offer you have purchased - this is so that our partners can verify that the voucher is valid and provide you with the service advertised.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I can't use my voucher any more - can I give it to someone else?
Yes, your vouchers should be fully transferable (unless the terms of a specific offer state otherwise). So long as you haven't used part of your voucher, you can give it to a friend or family member. If you've had part of a treatment or service, you aren't able to give the voucher away though.
If a voucher has expired, it unfortunately can't be used by anyone.
Whenever you buy a voucher which needs a booking, always be sure to book well in advance of the expiry - the earlier the better. Just to make sure no one misses out, most vouchers will need to be booked between two and four weeks before their expiry.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Is Ouffer a secure site?
Ouffer is fully secured by Verisign, the highest level of security a website can have. All financial details are passed directly on to our merchant processor, so not even our staff have access to any credit card details.

+I want to speak to someone, who do I contact?
If you need our help for any reason, please don't hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com so one of our Melbourne and Sydney based team can help you!
In order for us address your issue as quickly as possible, please try to include the following (where possible):
- The email address you have registered your account with
- Your voucher/redemption code
- The name of the service-provider/business for which you purchased your voucher
The above information will enable us to provide you with a much quicker response!
We like to try to reply to any enquiry as quickly as possible. Our support team are based in Sydney and Melbourne, working between 9.00am and 8.00pm AEST. If your contact us outside those hours, it may take us a bit longer to reply.
In the event that you have attempted to contact us and you haven't got a reply after 2 business day, it's possible that your email didn't make it through to us for some reason - we will never not reply to an email.
If this happens, please try to send another email from a different email address to firstname.lastname@example.com.

+My Password isn't working - What can I do?
If your password doesn't work, you can get a new one by clicking on the "Forgot Password" link underneath the login box.
You should get an automated email sent to you – if that doesn't work, it probably means your email account may be blocking our emails! First thing to do is to check your junk mail box and there should be an email in there. If there is, please add us as a safe sender.
If you can't find an email from us, just send us a quick email to email@example.com and our team will be able to help out and create a new password for you!

+What does the 'Mark as Used' Button do?
The 'Mark as Used' button allows you to move your used vouchers to the Used section. That way, you can check exactly what vouchers have yet to be used.
It's pretty handy when you've bought a few vouchers for one place but don't use them all at once. You can check your used vouchers by clicking on USED Vouchers and also, if you click Mark as Used by mistake, you can bring the voucher back by clicking on Mark as New – good as new!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+What is credit, and how do I use it?
If you are using credits for your entire purchase, you won't need to enter any credit card details - you can just ignore the box.
If you are using credit for part of the purchase, you will need to use a credit card to 'top up' the purchase. For example, if you have $15 credit stored up, and you are buying something that costs $100, you would just need to pay the $85 top-up amount from your credit card or PayPal account.
Your credits will expire 365 days after they have been granted, although this doesn't apply to specific promotions which state otherwise.
Your credit is personal to you, so you can't give it away - but you can buy a voucher for someone as a gift using your credit.
If you look at your bank statement right after a purchase, you may notice more than one charge on there (usually, there will be the full amount and the amount less the credit on your statement).
That is an unfortunate requirement of the banks – we haven't really charged you twice! The charge you noticed for the full amount is what banks call a 'pre-authorisation'. Ouffer doesn't actually charge anything until after the deal closes – the pre-authorisation is just a hold on those funds.
When our system goes to charge you, it will see that you are using credit and will adjust the cost accordingly. The original 'pre-authorisation' will 'drop off' within one to five business days (depending on which bank you're with).
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Why have I been charged twice?
If there are two charges on your statement, it is most likely that the first is a 'pre-authorisation', rather than an actual charge. The 'pre-authorisation' will be removed by your bank between one to five business days (depending on which bank you use for your credit card).
If you noticed that you actually bought more vouchers than you intended, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com immediately. So long as Ouffer is told promptly, we can usually credit or refund the mistakenly bought vouchers (but that will depend on how quickly we've been notified and if any bank or administration fees have been incurred).
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Who can I contact for help?
If you need assistance and can't find an answer on this page, you can find a link to our Contact Us Form below.
If the Contact Us form isn't working, you can get in touch with us at email@example.com - but, if you can, please use the Contact Us Form - this will help us better understand what you need so we can get back to you quicker!
While we do whatever we can to get back to you as quick as we can, please allow between 1-2 working days for a reply.

It wasn't too long ago we were reporting on Lima Sky sending out cease and desist orders to random game developers who used the word "doodle" in the title of their games. Lima Sky eventually called off its dogs while offering an explanation of its actions. Another case of possible trademark infringement had been brought up by Zynga in November 2010 against a company named Blingville. Zynga claims Blingville is violating its trademark.
Blingville is a company that is currently developing a Facebook game that is also titled Blingville. Zynga claims that Blingville is in violation of a trademark it owns in regards to the suffix "ville." Zynga is the developer of extremely popular Facebook games including FarmVille and CityVille. The company also started beta testing a new virtual currency service called RewardVille.
According to the legal documents, the domain for Blingville.com was registered in October 2004. A trademark for Blingville was filed on November 5, 2010. Blingville's case claims that Zynga has not filed for a trademark that will prevent the Blingville name from appearing in a game outside of Zynga.
Zynga had been sending out cease and desist letters to Blingville since November 2, 2010. It claims Blingville "violates the Lanham Act with respect to Zynga or any of Zynga's trademarks or its social networking games containing the letter combination of "ville."
Blingville wants to court to decide that its game does not violate any trademark Zynga may or may not have. Blingville is asking that Zynga pay its legal fees and other undisclosed amounts that are the result of Zynga's cease and desist letters.

We learned from a guild memo to New York Times staffers yesterday that 74 editorial staffers have taken the buyout offers provided by the company.
And now, The New York Observer reports that New York Times Magazine editor Paul Tough is among those who said goodbye to the Times yesterday. (Gawker has even more names.)
Tough joined the paper eight years ago, and was previously an editor at Harper's and a reporter and producer for the public radio show "This American Life." Like other Times buyout-takers, Tough is an author. He recently published Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America.

DE PERE - The weather Sunday was considerably warmer than we've seen in months, but still mild.
So some people were "thinking spring" at an indoor market.
Legends in De Pere hosted the Hop into Spring Vendor Event.
The market featured something for everyone.
Visitors could buy items or just meet new vendors.
Participants say the event is tailored to the time between winter and spring.
"People aren't outside yet, so this is nice to have the vendor event inside, whereas you go to like, the markets downtown outdoor markets and things like that. Kind of looking forward to getting back outside," said The Pampered Chef vendor Melissa Barker.
There were more than 25 vendors at the event.

Blog: The Well-Laid Table
Le Souk
Natalie Engelhardt is a former L'Oreal marketing executive who has hit upon a consumer need that more seasoned home furnishings executives--despite all their talk about addressing consumer lifestyles--have missed.
Engelhardt is the founder of TableSwoon, a brand-new company that sells table-setting kits. A table-setting kit contains all the accessory pieces consumers need to set a beautiful table around the white dinnerware they probably already own. Each kit includes placemats, chargers, napkins, napkin rings, centerpieces and accessories, enough for four people, all curated in one box.
Midnight Blue
Each of the five initial kits is based on a different color palette and a different theme (navy and white, Asian-inspired, and so forth), so, Engelhardt promises, "there is something for everyone." Products are sourced from a variety of places, including the U.S., and are packaged and shipped from the company's headquarters in New York.
The kit retails for $109 and everything in it is re-usable. Engelhardt is part of a large extended family that got together for dinner in Engelhardt's Long Island home every Friday night. Engelhardt said her mother would put together "amazing tables" and friends and family would often ask for her help and advice when it came to arranging their own. "It doesn't come naturally for everyone," Engelhardt said. "People are investing a lot in their basic white dinnerware. People were saying they wanted to switch it up but didn't know how."
Now and Zen
Engelhardt evidently has the same creative knack as her mother. With her hunch that she was on to something, she quit her job at L'Oreal, launched TableSwoon, and debuted the first five kits at the New York International Gift Fair last August. The initial response was positive, and Engelhardt has sold her product to a number of smaller, specialty retailers online who have started receiving product this week.
This Saturday Engelhardt will be one of the first non-food vendors to showcase her wares at Smorgasburg, a trendy food flea market that takes place every Saturday in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and Sunday in DUMBO, Brooklyn, now through November. It attracts artisan food purveyors as well as big-name New York restaurants, and Engelhardt is excited at the marketing possibilities.
Whether Engelhardt's idea will catch fire in a big way is unknown, but she deserves credit for a concept that is both sensible and creative and addresses a problem that others have overlooked. - Allison Zisko

midnight commander pre-loaded skins???
Just happened to notice the presence of what looks like some pre-loaded midnight commander skins in my ~/usr/share/mc/skins directory. How do I make mc use one of these? Didn't see anything in the config files or in the settings regarding this.
I found this: http://blog.mybox.ro/2010/05/10/skin...ght-commander/
I haven't tested it, but I plan to!
Thanks for letting me that there are such things as skins for MC.
Thanks for the help. The default skin is too blue for my taste.
I live in Louisville, KY and I'm a Cardinal fan, if you know what I mean.
Good luck. Let us know if it works--I may not get to trying it out for several days.
I lived in the Greater Philadelphia Co-Prosperity Sphere for 25 years and ended up a Phillies fan. If you know what I mean ;).

rge- I have just spent the last minute of my life saying Elowen and Rowan every way I can think of... yelling, really fast, slowly, etc. So now that my fiancé thinks I am INSANE, I will say that I don't think they would cause too much confusion. Other than you and your husband, how many people will say their names together?
I like it. I don't mind matchiness in siblings. Elowen FEELS like a sibling to Rowan... does that make sense?

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffGood review. I'm a sucker for Fallen and its sound though, so I really enjoyed this album.
Trey, I'm currently getting my lawyers to look into whether you have infringed on my year-long obligation to review anything related to American Idol. The fine print is being looked at with a magnifying glass as we speak. Lawyer up buddy! ;-)
Album Rating: 2.5Extradite me to Australia and you can sue all you want ;)
Digging: Adimiron - Et Liber Eris
Actually, I didn't even know who this band was. I just looked Carly up & clearly remember her. She had a fantastic voice & should have got further than 6th. imo, she was judged harsher than others as there was some controversy on here eligibility since she had released an album previously.
Can anyone clarify what was the go with 3 members leaving Evanescence?
Album Rating: 2.5I'm surprised. I figured that with the American Idol connection that you'd be all over this.
Can anyone clarify what was the go with 3 members leaving Evanescence?
Album Rating: 2.5The Letter Black's new album is better imo.
Album Rating: 2.5I totally agree. I was supposed to review it last week but didn't have time.
Come on Trey... Lift your game. ;-)
So yeah, review was good and album doesn't look great
I loved Fallen, though. Haven't listened to it in so long.
haha, I knew this was gonna be bad ever since this band came together. Thank you for proving me right Trey.
Eww Evanescence.
Yes that was worthy of my 4000th post.
Album Rating: 2.5Great review though, Trey.
Album Rating: 2.5I've decided that "St.John" is the only really good song on this album.
now that's just sexist!
They should be in the kitchen, making me a pie, grabbing me a beer, and sucking on my hog.
Album Rating: 3.5Willie, yeah that song is awesome.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffI love the piano melody on that song
I really appreciated your review. Thanks for it.
I loved Fallen, so I was looking forward to listening to this band and specially, I was expecting so much something like Fallen.
So that is the main reason why I love We Are The Fallen and their debut album.
They are doing what Amy didn't do. The Open Door has some great songs but she made an album that sounds too different of what most fans of Evanescence, like me, were expecting from her.
So, the main reason because you don't like this cd, it is the very main reason because I love it!
Carly can sing and she demonstrates that in this record. Moody can make great songs too. So I don't mind if they sound outdated, because some people like are expecting exactly what they have delivered in this excellent cd.
Thanks again!
I was actually half interested in this, as I used to love Fallen back in the day, but either I've really grown out of this kind of thing or this just plain sucks.

That would imply that you're in the kitchen too (or you have a detachable penis - remember that song?).
I love that tune hahahaha

Better Slow Down in Palmyra
Here is your notice, beginning Friday, November 2, the speed limit along US 61 at Palmyra will be reduced from 65 mph to 55 mph approaching the north city limits of Palmyra starting just north of the MO 168 interchange to just north of Main Cross Street. The speed limit has been reduced at the north end of Palmyra as a safety measure suitable to traffic conditions near the MO 168 interchange area.The speed reduction, requested by the City of Palmyra and a Citizens Advisory Group recommendation, was approved by MoDOT after conducting traffic and speed studies in the area.
"The speed reductions along with the recent safety improvements will allow motorists to make safer turns onto US 61 from MO 168," advised MoDOT Area Engineer Brian Haeffner. "Even more important, several law enforcement agencies have already stepped up enforcement in the area and will continue to do so," added Haeffner. "Most traffic was traveling well above the posted 65 mph speed limit, so reducing the limit combined with additional enforcement will send a message to drivers that excessive speed will not be tolerated," said Chief Ed Bogue of the Palmyra Police Department. "Officers are especially monitoring all intersections that access US 61 through the Palmyra area," he explained.
Motorists will be alerted of the new speed limit with message boards and a media campaign.

Center Ethanol plant finds efficiencies
Even in a tough market, smart companies that leverage efficiencies can stay in business and even thrive.
It is no secret that U.S. ethanol feedstock prices and production have taken a hit over the past few years. Many start-up companies, once buoyed by the promise of the Energy Independence and Security Act (H.R. 6), which calls for 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022, have closed their doors.
However, according to Tim Kostecki, operations manager at the Center Ethanol plant in Sauget, Ill., the secret to surviving in this down market is not really a secret. He says reliable investor support, negotiating supplier prices, and uncovering new production efficiencies are the reasons this 54-million-gallon-capacity plant thrives today.
Since production began over one year ago, Center Ethanol has continually enhanced its operation by adding programming to its Simatic PCS 7 process control system from Siemens Industry, Inc. Installed by Delta T Corporation, the PCS 7 system has performed reliably in the green-field project that also produces 172,000 tons of dry distiller grain annually.
As Siemens' 100th alternative fuels plant installation in the U.S., Center Ethanol has been able to draw on much process know-how collected from all those facilities. Kostecki attributes much of the success to the flexibility of the PCS 7 system combined with Siemens' feedstock technology expertise, which has helped in numerous areas of the continuous process plant.
Added programming increases efficiency
"We received the PCS 7 system in good shape. However, to run our processes more efficiently, we needed to be able to add a lot more programming into it," Kostecki said. "It has been easy to introduce our ideas to improve the process."
Center Ethanol built screens on the PCS 7 system outlining standard operating procedures for starting, stopping, and shutting down various pieces of equipment. It has also introduced programming that instructs operators how to fix out-of-range process parameters. "If a process goes out of parameter, an alarm alerts technicians in a central control room that is equipped with four operator stations," Kostecki said. "The operators can check the equipment or cross-check what the equipment is telling us against what the lab is telling us. This has greatly improved temperature, pressure, and many other control variables."
Faceplate and interlock screens enable operators to click on a symbol—including a pump, drive, valve, or PID loop—to determine the status of the device and process interlocks. Operators also have a comprehensive view of the entire plant from the control room and are able to drill down to a specific process area or to a specific device to get more information. Center Ethanol also added programming to better control enzyme and chemical additions as well as the front end (core grinding and fermentation) of the process.
Kostecki notes, "We are now saving more money than before because we can optimize chemical additions to the process. We have also done a lot with improving the front end of our process efficiency, so the entire plant is in a steadier state, instead of up and down. The new programming ensures that we start off with the right recipe for fermentation. When you control your front end and get your fermentation in a steady state, the whole plant runs more efficiently. If you are going up and down all the time—say one fermentor is at 14% and one is at 13%—it will swing the distillation of the back end of the plant around, so you cannot get your fermentation to be the same ethanol concentration every time."
Trending and training
Kostecki appreciates the trending capability of the control system, because it can instantly give operators at least three months of historical data that can be loaded into an Excel spreadsheet, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual data entries. "We use trending every day," he says. "For example, we know if our system is running out of tank room. Rather than slowing down the plant, the guys in the control room can graphically track and manipulate tiny changes in tank levels. We also use the trending capability to make sure dryer temperatures, pressures, flow rates, and amps are at the right levels."
Center Ethanol has an extra advantage when it comes to attracting operators and other plant personnel. Many of its technicians were trained at another Siemens installation—the National Corn to Ethanol Research Center (NCERC) at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Ill. The 35,000-sq-ft NCERC facilitates the commercialization of new technologies for producing ethanol more effectively, resulting in improved yields and reduced costs. It also plays a key role in filling the growing need for qualified personnel to operate and manage biofuel refineries across the country.
Today, Kostecki says the PCS 7 system can accommodate more programming additions if they are needed, and he has more in mind. Center Ethanol is now considering adding APC (advanced process control) capabilities to the system to save plant energy costs. "The employees like the system and say it is well designed," he said. "Information flows from screen to screen and is easy to understand. It is also easy to comprehend how the different characteristics of the process are controlled. Just as important, however, is the fact that the PCS 7 system increases our ability to improve the system through new ideas. The capabilities of the system are not being fully used right now, which is nice because it means we can tweak things as we go, like advanced process control. This all fits well with our recipe for success, which is to be as innovative and efficient as possible."

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

I'm using IIS 6 and classic ASP. I want to create a virtual directory on my website from a file that is outside of the "default website" but I want to include my "top" and "bottom" (menu system) from within the "default website".
Default website is sitting at: "e:/website - NAME" (shared as "website - NAME" as well)
Ffolder for virtual directory is sitting at: "e:/personnel"
I've tried:
<!-- #include file="e:/website - NAME/includes/top.asp" -->
<!-- #include virtual="e:/websitefoldername/includes/top.asp" -->
<!-- #include file="e:/websitesharename/includes/top.asp" -->
<!-- #include virtual="e:/websitesharename/includes/top.asp" -->
<!-- #include file="websitesharename/includes/top.asp" -->
<!-- #include virtual="websitesharename/includes/top.asp" -->
<!-- #include file="website - NAME/includes/top.asp" -->
<!-- #include virtual="website - NAME/includes/top.asp" -->
Not sure how that works exactly but your help would be most appreciated.

You would use <!--#include virtual=/websitesharename/includes/top.asp-->. There is no concept drive letters when dealing with IIS and files. You configure IIS to point to your files. If the permissions is setup correctly, it should work seemlessly.

Hi Steve,
The file I want to include isn't in a virtual directory it's part of my default website. I am working in a folder outside of the default website.
I'm getting this message:
"Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'
Include file not found
/personneltest/Index.asp, line 2
The include file '/Web Site - FSUS/includes/top.asp' was not found. "</div>
Mar 01, 2008 02:53 PM|steve schofield|LINK
Understood. Make a virtual directory 'inside' your Default Web Site that points to the files 'outside' your working folder. In your code reference the virtual directory that points to the folder / files outside your normal structure. For example
Your default website is a local folder called c:\websites\example.com. Under example.com, all your folders and files. However, the files you want on a file server called FileServerA in a folder called D:\MyWebsiteIncludes. The UNC path is \\FileServerA\D$\MyWebSiteIncludes or if you create a share on the folder, \\FileServerA\MyWebsiteIncludes On the web server, create a virtual directory that maps to either share path. You'll need to make sure the proper credentials are configured to access the files on the remote server.

TORONTO -- Opportunity knocks. Again.
Will the Eskimos answer this time?
Opportunity has knocked enough times already for this manic-depressive football team. Usually the answer has been no.
"It always seems to work out that way," said Ed Hervey on the eve of today's tilt against the defending Grey Cup champions (11 a.m. CBC with actual commentators).
"We've been presented with another chance to seize a moment. That's what this game is all about now.''
The Saskatchewan Roughriders' five-game winning streak was stopped by the Montreal Alouettes Saturday night. Suddenly, the Eskimos have yet another chance to put their inconsistent up-and-down, in-and-out, terrific-team/terrible-team season behind them with a mere two game winning streak.
"That game affected Toronto too," Hervey said of the Argos hold on first in the East suddenly becoming insecure as a result of the Alouette win.
"We seem to rise to the occasion for the big game at home like we did with Montreal and B.C. But this is a big game on the road in a hostile environment against the Grey Cup champions."
Head coach Danny Maciocia knows the opportunity is there again.
"Let's see what we do with it.
"Do the math. If we win this game and return to Edmonton and beat the Roughriders at home next week, Saskatchewan can't finish second," he said.
A win today would leave the Eskimos two points ahead of the Roughriders. Win this and follow with another win (by more than one point) at home next Saturday against Saskatchewan, and the Esks would have a four-point edge on the Riders, also settling any tie at the end based on the two-game total-point series.
Ironically, Toronto and Saskatchewan are the only two teams the Esks have yet to beat.
But which Eskimo team will show up today? The really, really good one? Or the really, really bad one? I've covered 35 years of Eskimos football and I can't remember a year in which they had a team in which you had no clue what team they were going to be from one week to the next.
Does Maciocia have a clue which team is going to show up here today?
"I think I have an idea," he said.
"It's been an interesting week. I've had Jason Maas do everything he can do to draw the defence offside, to clearly go out of his way trying to get them offside," he said of the backup QB working the scout team offence.
"The deal was, if somebody went offside, we'd start the drill over," said the rookie head coach, who decided talking about taking too many penalties wasn't good enough.
The Eskimos went from 46 yards of penalties in the big win over B.C. to back to their undisciplined selves and took 139 yards against Hamilton.
A fascination about this game is that it's the perfect test drive of the alleged new-and-improved Edmonton offence with Dan Comiskey back on the offensive line and Troy Davis at running back.
"This game is going to be a pretty good gauge," admits Maciocia.
No team in the CFL is set up to defend the Eskimos as they were going into this game, a one-dimensional passing team.
"They take away all the things we do well," said Hervey.
"It's a very good defence against the pass," says quarterback Ricky Ray. "They've kept the same people together the last three or four years. That's what makes them so good.
"This is a very good game to go out there and get things going with a ground game."
Maciocia is even more direct about it: "We need the running game and we need it now - sooner than later if we're going to make any noise."
It's Thanksgiving. The frost is on the pumpkin. Noise would be nice.

Elephant's Roar Will Shake the Paint Off Your Walls

Like Katy Perry, you're gonna hear this elephant roar.
It's safe to say this kid probably will grow up to be a cat person. This breathtaking video shows a cat quickly come to the aid of a boy who is being attacked by a dog.
A Dallas/Fort Worth area family has posted a Craigslist ad offering a cash reward for the safe return of their 3-year-old daughter's beloved stuffed bunny rabbit.
There's an elderly couple in San Augustine County with so many feral cats on their property they're asking for help finding homes for all of them.
There are animal lovers and then there's this guy.
Tiny hamsters. Tiny burritos. Huge cuteness.
I don't know what you were planning on doing for the rest of today, but you can put it off until tomorrow. Someone has set up the most adorable live webcam, and these puppies aren't getting any younger.
If you don't have your dog or cat vaccinated for rabies, now is a great time to do it. Positive rabies cases are popping up in several counties across Texas in animals including skunks and raccoons, and to avoid the risk pets should have the shots.
Earlier this year an airdrop program put tiny packets of rabies vaccine on the ground with bait to attract skunks, and although that's expected to help fight the problem it doesn't fix it completely.
This is simply incredible! As a life long horse person, I know for a fact none of mine would have ever dealt this well with the crowds on Bourbon Street, especially during the madness that is Mardi Gras.
The tale of Justice, the abused pitbull who was dragged behind a truck down Timberland Drive in Lufkin, has begun a happy new chapter. After extensive treatment at Angelina Animal Hospital, Justice was released today into the care of a local foster family.
From Russia's controversial stance on homosexuality to locked bathrooms to an almost wardrobe malfunction to bizarre toilets, the Winter Games have had no shortage of odd stories.
So these goats balancing on a flexible steel ribbon is a thing.

Yard goes green with new ship recovery partnership
Europe's first 'environmentally friendly' ship recycling partnership has been launched in Belfast.
Harland and Wolff Heavy Industries and environmental management consultancy Golder Associates have joined forces with V Navy to provide " full-service, environmentally sound and socially responsible ship recovery and recycling".
The new partnership has evolved out of a widely-reported incident back in January in which the MSC Napoli ran aground off the Devon coast.
Containers from the ship broke up on beaches - and police had to stop the pillage of the contents.
UMC, a V Navy sister company, managed the recovery of containers which went overboard shortly after the vessel was beached.
Harland and Wolff, which has a waste management licence for the dismantling of marine vessels and marine structures, was subsequently called in to undertake the decommissioning and recycling of the MSC Napoli in co-operation with Golder Associates.
The MSC Napoli arrived at the building dock of H&W in Belfast back in August and dismantling work will be completed next month.
The new venture between H&W, Golder and V Navy, which is part of global marine, energy and financial services outsourcing firm V Group, is the first to provide a fully certified, ecologically and socially responsible European ship dismantling solution, according to H&W.
Services will be available to both military and commercial ship owners.
H&W chief executive Robert Cooper said the company's diversification strategy has paid dividends, seeing the shipbuilder develop services such as module manufacturing, design engineering, ship repair and conversion and move into new green markets of marine-based renewable energy technology and ship dismantling.
"We have utilised Harland and Wolff's vast experience and comprehensive facilities to offer the marketplace an alternative to traditional ship breaking."
Golder Associates spokesman Mark Gilligan said: "We entered into this venture with the aim of utilising Harland and Wolff's unique facilities to raise the standards of ship and offshore structure decommissioning and to establish a solution for European ship recycling.
"Extending this venture to include V Navy places the three businesses at the front edge of this emerging market."
