Many people experience times when they need an additional bed for a guest or want an extra bed that costs little money and is easy to care for. This is why they buy air mattresses that can successfully replace regular mattress and provide the same level of comfort. Therefore, any time you need a new mattress, consider throwing an eye over our recommendations and you will discover that they are full of benefits.

We were overly impressed with the versatility and convenience of this air mattresse available in two different sizes to meet your space needs. The raised bed design is excellent for a comfortable sleep and the soft texture contributes to creating a cozy bed. It has indented sides to keep you in place and a sturdy welded construction with circular coils that create a strong yet soft sleeping surface. The mattress is available in light brown and can be matched with a headboard if you want to obtain a separate airbed. The top is waterproof and the bottom is gripped to prevent sliding on any type of flooring. The features that are worth mentioning about this mattress are various and we should start with the two different pumps, one that inflates the unit in less than 4 minutes, and the neverFLAT pump that monitors and maintains the air pressure inside the mattress. The first pump automatically turns off when the mattress reaches the right pressure in order to prevent damage. You can choose from 3 different firmness settings according to your sleep preferences. The mattress is portable and comes with a carry bag for transportation
|Two pumps in one matterss
|Soft suede top that prevents sheets from falling
|Pump shut-off feature when the mattress is fully inflated
|Fast inflating time in less than 5 minutes
|Strong and firm shape with interior coils
The second best model that caught our attention is this one from Lazery that manages to bring some interesting innovations. First, there is the dual chamber design with 40 air coils that create the ultimate relaxation feeling. The vinyl surface has a plush top that creates a velvet-like touch and keeps the sheets from sliding. This contributes to the comfort of your sleep and ensures that the mattress will be easy to use. You can choose from two sizes with different measurements and the burgundy shade will surely catch your eyes. You can easily inflate the mattress with the built-in electric pump that has a shut-off feature that turns it off the moment the mattress is inflated to perfection. The biggest novelty is the remote that comes with the pump and that allows you to select from 7 firmness settings, from the softest to the hardest, depending on your tastes. When you no longer need the mattress, deflate it and store it away in the carry bag that ensures protection.

If you need a comfortable mattress that you can count on no matter how many times you need to use it, consider throwing an eye at this one made by Intex. The mattress available in Queen size is great for holding adults of children weighing a total of 600 pounds, which is impressive for an inflatable mattress and it will not lose shape throughout the night. This is due to the FiberTech construction consisting of thousands of polyester fibers that ensure both sturdiness and comfort. With the built-in electric inflating pump, your mattress will be inflated in around 4 minutes and although it doesn't include features like a shut-off or adjustable firmness, you will surely enjoy a restful sleep. Easily deflate, roll, and store the mattress away when you no longer need it.
If you have heard of Coleman and their inflatable products, it's no surprise to see that they also manufacture inflating mattresses and very good ones as well. This one we chose is available in two sizes so you can get the one you need or even both. The manufacturer has put a lot of attention into designing a durable mattress and you can see it from the reinforced construction that allows you to sleep on a solid and soft surface. Thanks to the Dual Lock valve, the mattress will not lose air during the night so you will wake up with the same firmness you fell asleep on. The only drawback is that you will need to buy the pump separately as it's not included. Luckily, there are compatible pumps available for purchase so aside from the additional expense, this should not be an issue.
The fifth mattress on our list is a compact model available in a Twin size that will perfectly fit your guest bedroom or serve as an extra bed for your child's sleepover colleague. The SoundAsleep model is made of a highly resistant material and using an innovative ComfortCoil technology with a dual-chamber construction that prevents any air leaks. This guarantees the ultimate comfort throughout the night and extends the lifespan. The built-in pump inflates the mattress in 3 minutes and deflates it just as fast so you can easily store it away.
The sixth position in our top is occupied by the amazingly comfortable Serta ST8400160 raised air mattress. Not only does it come at a remarkable price but this mattress actually provides you with an ideal sleeping surface despite the fact that it's not a classic memory foam mattress. The 18-inch raised height that it boasts makes it easy for you to get in and out of bed. It's a durable and long-lasting investment as it's made with quality materials that are puncture and water resistant. The 35 circular coils that it features offers a very comfortable sleeping surface, ensuring a quality sleep each night. For convenience in use, it features a neverFLAT pump that not only monitors the air pressure in the mattress but it maintains it automatically during the night as well. Also, there's a primary pump that automatically inflates and deflates the mattress without requiring you to put any effort into these tasks, taking only 4 minutes for the pump to finish and for the mattress to be ready for use. When it comes to the warranty that accompanies this mattress, know that it's backed up by Serta for no less than two years since you purchase it.
First of all, the price is lower than the prices of a memory foam or latex mattress so those who need an additional bed or want to equip a bedroom they rarely use often buy an air mattress that is more affordable. Secondly, it's easier to take care of, it doesn't require special cleaning and it's easier to store.
Having extra folding beds seems like a good idea but what happens when you need to store them away? You need plenty of room to keep bulky beds stored but with the inflatable mattress, this problem is in the past. All you have to do is deflate it, roll it, and put it in its carry bag that is the size of a regular bag and store it anywhere you want. If you use it occasionally and it will be stored most of the times, it's your best solution for saving space.
You can't get a good sleep without a mattress, but what if you need some extra sleeping space and you can't keep an additional bed in the room? Whenever you have guests, you need to come up with an idea to accommodate them and nothing is as convenient as an inflatable mattress that can be up in minutes. You can make your guests feel comfortable and at home with a soft and luxurious air mattress so you won't have to accommodate them in folding beds or crowd them on the sofa.
These mattresses are very comfortable and can really help you get a better sleep. Many people choose this type of mattress over the traditional one because they love the feeling of sleeping on air. The indented sides keep your body from falling off the mattress while the soft silky top ensures a delicate touch. Just wrap the mattress in your favorite sheets and enjoy a restful sleep.
You probably know how dirty a regular mattress can become and how many germs and mites can hide inside the thick layers. With an air mattress, you can forget about allergens and disturbing impurities as no dust mites or bacteria can gather inside it. Given that it's filled with air and is made of non-allergenic materials, it's perfect for allergy sufferers and can keep you away from all the breathing problems caused by sleeping on a filthy mattress.
A good inflating mattress should keep your body in a comfortable position throughout the night no matter if it deflates a little. If you feel like you are falling off the mattress or that your body sinks in it, it's not sturdy enough and you could wake up with back pain. Therefore, look for ones with multiple air chambers that maintain its shape and with indented sides that keep you from falling.
The fact that it's inflated with air makes this mattress more fragile and prone to breaking so it's important to choose models made of welded sturdy materials, usually vinyl and puncture-resistant. Accidents might happen and the last thing you want is your mattress to break and deflate overnight so the quality of the mattress is the main aspect you need to consider.
Last, but not least, the air mattress should be easy to inflate, deflate, and store away. Considering the large size, it's not appealing to inflate it using a manual pump so an electrical pump is in demand. Whether you go for a built-in or a separate pump, check the inflation time and the pump's settings to see how easily you can get the hang of it.
If you don't want to blow air into the mattress using your mouth, you have to make sure it comes with an electric pump that does all the hard work for you. If the pump also has a turn-off feature that stops it the moment the mattress has reached the desired firmness, all your work is done.
To prevent it from sagging and becoming flat, keep your eyes opened for indented sides that strengthen it and maintain its shape. All the good ones have strong sides so that no matter how much you jump on it, it will never change shape.
Accidents happen and chances are you will spill something over it when you sit on it so it's best to get one with a waterproof top. You might think that since it's made of rubber, it is waterproof, but learn that the top is covered in a soft fabric that should keep moisture away. Otherwise, you will get the top wet and you won't be able to sleep on it.
Given the fact it's an inflating mattress and not a regular one, it's more prone to damage if the weight capacity is exceeded. If you want the entire family to be able to use it, choose one that has a high weight limit. This can differ according to the size but you can find large sizes that can carry up to 600 lbs.
No matter how tempted you or the children might be, try not to jump on the mattress because the increased pressure might break it. Also, avoid exceeding the maximum capacity of each model in order to prevent any incidents. Overloading it could force the seams to crack and the mattress to lose air.
When maneuvering the air mattress, avoid pulling its sides too hard or trying to move it while someone is sleeping on it. Regardless how durable are the materials it's made of, the mattress could break if something opposes resistance while you pull it.
In order to prevent any accidents, never place the air mattress near a heat source like a heater, a fireplace, or a stove. Heat can melt the material and the damage can be irreversible. Sharp and pointy objects or even furniture edges can be dangerous for the air mattress so always maneuver it with care and install it in safe places.
Many people inflate their air mattress over the limit, thinking that it will already deflate in a few hours, and out of commodity to re-inflate it. This can cause the mattress to crack and it's something that should be avoided. It's best to inflate it to the maximum then re-inflate it after a few hours to prevent it from breaking. To make things less complicated, some pumps have a shutoff feature that stops them from inflating when the mattress reaches the top point.
No matter how well you take care of your air mattress, the inevitable can happen and it can break, cases in which you need to fix it before the damage gets bigger. Patching the product can prevent further breaking and it can be done with rubber patches that you can find in stores.
The top mattress we chose comes from Insta-Bed, a brand that is in constant pursuit for the most advanced materials and technologies that deliver the ultimate satisfaction. Their indoor and outdoor air mattresses and airbeds are sought-after because of their quality and durability. It's important to choose top-notch products and the care for details can be observed in every aspect so you can rest assured knowing that your guests or yourself will be sleeping on the coziest air mattress.
Another reliable brand that specializes in quality air mattresses is Lazery and you can easily see that their products aim to be the best in every aspect. The special patent pumps with remote controls make these air mattresses stand out and you will definitely notice an increased level of comfort the moment you sit on the soft surface.
When you think of inflatable tubs, pools, or mattresses, one name comes to your mind and that is Intex. You can be certain that the products designed by this brand are famous for their durability and quality. There are many models to choose from and regardless the one you go for, it's guaranteed that you will enjoy a great air mattress that will last for many years to come.

Easy Stuffed Zucchini, Israeli-Style
By Danielle Crittenden Frum
I'm often intimidated from making anything "stuffed." It implies a lot of time and labor. Thus as much as I love so many Middle Eastern dishes involving vegetables packed with ground meat and other ingredients, I've hesitated from making them myself because I assumed they would be laborious. Most meals in my house rely on fresh, but fast, recipes.
For some reason recently I got a craving for stuffed zucchini -- probably because I'm still missing Israel. I browsed through my cookbooks and the internet, and realized preparing a zucchini for stuffing is about as labor intensive as peeling a carrot. And to test this theory, I only began preparing the dinner after I got home one evening at 5. On week/school nights I like family dinner to hit the table around 6:30 -- my belated start pushed dinner to 7, but only because the zucchini required longer roasting than I'd anticipated. The upshot was I had an extra half hour to enjoy a glass of wine.The recipe below is an amalgamation of several: I adapted the meat stuffing and tomato sauce recipes from Michael Romanov's excellent Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking (he used these to stuff peppers). They were both flavorful and simple to prepare; the seasoning had the whiff of the shuk without necessitating a special spice run. The method of cooking a stuffed zucchini relied on internet research. The result was an all-in-one yummy meal, which has the added bonus of being delicious the next day, served at room temperature. In other words, perfect for Shabbat.
Serves 4 to 6.
Preheat the oven to 400-degrees.
For the Zucchini Boats:2 pounds medium or smallish zucchini, 4-5 in total
2 tbs kosher salt
Wash and slice the zucchini's in half. With a melon ball cutter, hollow out the zucchini halves from end to end, leaving the shell about 1/3-inch thick. Discard pulp and soak zucchini in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes -- or while preparing the meat stuffing and tomato sauce. (Put the rice on now too -- see below. In our carb-phobic household I omitted it, to no loss.) Rinse and pat dry.
Lightly oil a roasting pan large enough to hold all the zucchini snugly. Roast for about 15 minutes -- again while preparing the other elements.
For the Meat Stuffing:2 tbs olive oil
2 onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 pounds ground beef (ground lamb would also work)
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbs kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups cooked Jasmine rice
1 large egg
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted (optional)
Fresh Italian parsley, chopped, for garnish
Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened but not begun to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the beef, cinnamon, salt and pepper, stirring to incorporate the beef, and continue cooking until the beef is cooked through and begins to brown, another 15 minutes. Mix in the pine nuts, if using.
If using rice: In a large bowl, add the rice, seasoned meat and the egg and mix well.
If not using rice, you can omit the egg as well.
For the Basic Tomato Sauce:5 tbs olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups pureed tomato (canned is fine)
2 tbs ground coriander
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Warm 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the onion and the garlic and cook until the vegetables have softened but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, coriander, salt and 1 cup water and cook until the sauce has thickened and concentrated, 15 to 20 minutes. Off the heat, whick in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. (Note: The sauce will keep for a week in the refrigerator; 3 months frozen.)
Assembling the Zucchini Boats:
Remove partially roasted zucchini halves from the roasting pan, and spread about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce over the bottom. Return the zucchini halves to the pan, and spoon the stuffing in and over the zucchini. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the boats, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for another 30 minutes, or until a knife slides in easily into the zucchini. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot, or at room temperature the next day.

What are the best things to do in Boise?
Boise dwellers tend to love being outside. With that in mind, it's no surprise that some of Boise's best activities involve getting some fresh air.
1. Floating the Boise River is an annual occurrence for many who live here. Imagine lounging in a tube or raft, soaking in the sun with the comfort of a light breeze for a lazy, 90-minute journey. No raft? No problem. You can go to Barber Park, the common starting point, and rent rafts and tubes. When you reach Ann Morrison Park, you can hop on a shuttle to return to your car.
2. Another area favorite, the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, features open-air theater performances June through September. No bad seat exists in this cozy amphitheater. The best part is the view of the breathtaking sunset against the foothills, which serves as a backdrop for the stage.
3. Speaking of the foothills, the variety of foothills trails that crisscross this scenic landscape offer something for everyone, from a casual stroll to a challenging trek.
4. Alternatively, those who prefer flatter terrain can explore a 25-mile stretch of the city and its surrounding area by following the Boise River Greenbelt, by foot or bike, through downtown and along the river.
5. If you're visiting Boise in the snowy season, consider a trip to Bogus Basin, the ski mountain just outside of town. The area offers plenty of trails and slopes for downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and even tubing. Those who are more adventurous can opt to explore the Nordic trails that are available on the way to Bogus Basin.

After her umpteenth sexy romantic comedy crime caper, One for the Money, opened to mixed reviews last week, perpetually mocked film star Katherine Heigl evidently decided it was due time for a career change. With this in mind, Heigl has just signed on to two new, exciting projects that depart from her usual fare: an indie about a psychologist "struck with a rare affliction that makes it impossible to distinguish people by their faces," and a "puppet murder thriller" about a hardened private eye who attempts to solve a string of Hollywood puppet murders.
The Happytime Murders will be directed by Brian Henson, son of Sesame Street creator Jim Henson and director of such puppet-related film staples as A Muppet Christmas Carol. Based on a script by Todd Berger, Happytime Murders is set in a world where people and puppets co-exist, although puppets are relegated to second-class citizen status (social commentary!) When the former cast members of an '80s puppet TV show are mysteriously killed off one by one, it's up to a "disgraced detective turned private-eye puppet" to save the day by solving the case.
It's unclear whether Heigl will star in human or felt form in the movie, which sounds like a cross between Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and The Muppet Movie (except, you know, for the "instant classic" part). Still, one thing is certain from Heigl's recent surprising project choices: the girl is tired of being a critically lambasted, fat paycheck-wielding, Vulture punchline, so we should all support her recent decision to break out of her comfort zone a little bit. I'd suggest a reunion of the classic 1996 Disney TV movie Wish Upon a Star, in which popular, snooty Katherine Heigl and her less popular younger sister switch bodies, but that's probably just because I'm an unapologetically nostalgic '90s kid/idiot.
(By the way, that whole movie's up on YouTube. I'm just saying).

The Hybrid Cluster: A CI/CD Story [Part 1] - Configuring a hybrid swarm mode cluster in Azure with acs-engine
Configuring a hybrid Docker Swarm Mode cluster on Azure using acs-engine
Introduction This is the first part in our (at least) two parts describing how to get started with a hybrid Docker Swarm Mode cluster. In this first part, we will focus on deploying a hybrid cluster on Azure. Now, you can create yourself a hybrid cluster within any private network where you have a Windows Server 2016 with Containers and a Linux machine - it can be locally, with VirtualBox, Hyper-V or VMWare, or it can be on your cloud provider of choice.

1. The Matt Ryan Hype is Getting a Bit Loud
"He's really looking good in practice. His arm is stronger, definitely. They're going to really let him throw the ball this year. The offense will be much more aggressive and fast-paced. And with Julio Jones around, oh man, it's going to be something to see. Matt Ryan will finally be unleashed this year."
People said that last year, it didn't happen. They're saying it again this year, and it won't happen, again. It's true, Ryan likley will improve his 2011 total of 4,177 yards and 29 touchdowns. But due to his inconsistency, he'll still be lucky to be a middle-tier QB1.
The hype at this point implies he'll make the jump to historic greatness in 2012 - SI's Peter King said it's "very realistic" for Ryan to throw for 5,000 yards - but great quarterbacks produce against good defenses. Ryan hasn't done that. As good as his aggregate numbers will look, Ryan's unreliability in difficult conditions makes him much more matchup-sensitive than other top quarterbacks.
In nine games against New Orleans (twice), Tampa Bay (twice), Carolina (twice), Indianapolis, Minnesota and Jacksonville in 2011, Ryan threw for 20 touchdowns and three interceptions. Tampa, Carolina, Indianapolis and Minnesota were all remarkably bad pass defenses last year, and the Saints were bad, too. In six games against Chicago, Seattle, Green Bay, Detroit, Houston and the Giants, on the other hand, Ryan threw for just four touchdowns compared to seven interceptions.
You're better off with Michael Vick, Philip Rivers, Tony Romo or Eli Manning.
2. Willis McGahee will be a Top RB2 in 2012
The Broncos said they intend to scale back McGahee's workload from last year when he received 249 carries in 15 games. The third-round selection of San Diego State running back Ronnie Hillman reinforces that expectation.
It's easy to see why Denver would want to - McGahee will be 31 in October, and his workload last year resulted in a knee injury in December, as well as hamstring issues in both November and December. His effectiveness was compromised when the injuries struck, which leads to an important point: Denver wants to lighten McGahee's burden to protect him, not to phase him out. The team's running game is dependent on McGahee's health.
Although McGahee only averaged roughly 16.6 carries per game last year, the average was obviously deflated by early exits caused by injury, as well as a Week 1 start for Knowshon Moreno. After Week 1, McGahee averaged roughly 19.5 carries per full game played, including six games of 20 or more carries.
What this means is McGahee's workload won't decrease relative to that 16.6-carry average. It will decrease relative to the 20-plus carry games that overworked McGahee, meaning his per-game average should stay mostly the same from last year, or perhaps even increase slightly. The "decrease" will come in the form of eliminated high outliers, not the sum.
3. Darrius Heyward-Bey is a WR3 in Most Formats
Denarius Moore might be the better source of highlight-reel acrobatics, but if it's statistics you're interested in then Darrius Heyward-Bey is the top wideout to target in Oakland.
Although DHB caught 64 passes for 975 yards and four touchdowns last year, including 26 passes for 433 yards and three touchdowns in the final four weeks of the year, it's generally fashionable to rank Moore higher.
Moore is obviously a talented player, but between his 2011 foot injury, his current hamstring issue and the fact that 75 percent of his receiving yardage came in four games last year, there's no reason to take him over DHB in redraft leagues. And yet, Moore's ADP tends to range from about 100 to 120, while DHB goes between 115 and 125.
Between the durability issues of Moore (hamstring) and Jacoby Ford (foot) and the effect of playing 16 games with Carson Palmer at quarterback instead of 10, DHB should safely make it to 1,000 yards this year. He's more likely to settle in around 1,100 than 900.
4. Russell Wilson is No Joke
Those investing in Wilson need to be careful not to get too carried away in the hype - it can't be good for his job security that his backup's contract has $10 million in guarantees - but there are many reasons to expect the third-round pick to have a strong career as a starting quarterback, including the 2012 season. Since Wilson is an excellent runner, that's particularly true in fantasy football terms.
That Wilson checks in at a bit less than 5-foot-11 is a legitimate concern, but it's the only legitimate concern with his game. His other traits span between sufficient and remarkable.
Among the most remarkable are Wilson's instincts, mechanics and intelligence. Simply put, everything that's within his control is managed spectacularly. His release is quick and reliable, his pocket awareness is excellent and he can probably match any recent quarterback prospect when it comes to balancing urgency and patience in the pocket when he senses pressure. He never gets scared, and he doesn't resort to the run until it's conclusively his best option.
While it may be difficult to criticize any of the mental aspects of Wilson's game, you won't find it any easier to find flaws in his athletic makeup or his skill sets. His arm is strong enough to make all the throws, his accuracy is good or better on nearly every route type and he's fast, shifty and quick as a runner. And despite the fixation on his height, he only had four passes swatted at the line of scrimmage last year on 309 passes.
5. Mikel Leshoure is Still the Detroit Running Back to Buy
It might not be saying much, but when you take draft expense into account, Mikel Leshoure is the Detroit running back to own.
Due to a combination of Leshoure's two-game suspension and recovery from an Achilles' tendon rupture roughly one year ago, as well as Jahvid Best's disturbing concussion issues, Kevin Smith is understandably identified as the top running back for the Lions. Indeed, if he gets over his ankle issue in time, Smith will almost certainly start for Detroit in Week 1. But with just 26 games played over the last three years, there's reason to believe that Smith will miss time sooner than later.
Barring a trade - which could certainly still happen - the Lions would have Leshoure, Keiland Williams and Joique Bell as potential Smith replacements. As a 2011 second-round pick with standout athleticism, Leshoure has to be the favorite to come out on top, even just over one year removed from the Achilles injury.
Leshoure's superior value as an investment becomes clear when comparing his ADP to Smith's. Smith is being drafted between roughly the 80th and 90th picks, whereas Leshoure typically goes between the 120th and 140th picks.

Local Councils' Capacity Building Project
Local Councils (LCs) are the central nervous system which serves Syrians on a daily bases and organizes their lives. They are local governments for Syrian cities and villages. In the cities in which they exist, LCs are the main hubs and executors for development and humanitarian projects. LCs are generators of Syria's future local leaders and expert managers.
The legitimacy of LCs increases as local people get efficient and fair services and order is restored. Eventually, LCs will turn cities and villages in Syria into livable places that will attract refugees back to their home land.
Building the human resource capacity of an LC is at the core of its development. This is a job SEO has decided to undertake. It will involve;
– building the managerial and leadership capacity of an LC,
– developing specialized expertise, and
– promoting democratic governance
To achieve this goal, we signed agreements with two distinguished specialized Syrian organizations. We are managing this project with our partners: Marifa and Afaq Academy. Our "Beneficiaries" are the Local Councils in Eastern and Western Ghouta and Aleppo, in addition to some civic organizations in these provinces.
Telemedicine Project
Goal: Improve health care delivery in field hospitals in areas under siege. Doctors in the US are engaged in daily rounds with on call doctors at the intensive care units in field hospitals. They are providing direct patient care, teaching and training.
This project began in February 2015. It has achieved improved patient care and increased levels of education and experience among medical staff.
Currently, SEO is supporting the provision of care to the sickest patients in intensive care units in areas under siege. In addition to direct patient care, one of the major goals of this project is to increase the capacity of local hospitals to deliver better health care.
As a result of the significant improvement in the level of medical training and the establishment of patient management guidelines, the quality of health care delivery has improved remarkably.

Nuclear engineer is a generic term for a variety of engineers using nuclear technology; they may be mechanical, electrical or chemical engineers, or nuclear physicists. Typical roles may be:
The duties of nuclear plant engineers can include:
The work may include weekends and evenings depending on priorities and deadlines. Some work on a seven-day shift system.
Engineers work in control rooms, offices and workshops but may make visits to power stations and other sites. When working with nuclear reactors protective clothing is required.
To be a nuclear engineer you should:
There are currently twelve operational nuclear power stations throughout the UK, both advanced gas-cooled reactors and pressurised water-cooled reactors. As there are seven decommissioned power stations, finding safe and cost-effective solutions after shut down requires a number of engineers. The main employers in nuclear power generation are British Nuclear Fuels and British Energy. See websites for further details.
There are also opportunities within military research and development, as the UK currently has fifteen nuclear powered submarines.
An increasing number of engineers now work on a freelance basis or on short- term contracts.

Family of 'blond Roma boy' receives damages of €60k
A Roma family whose two-year-old blond son was removed overnight from them by gardai have secured €60,000 damages under a settlement of their legal action.
The family's barrister claimed in the High Court it was a case of "hysterical" and "overzealous" policing.
Mr Justice Paul McDermott said notwithstanding the very difficult circumstances and undoubted trauma for the child, a medical report suggested he had not suffered personal injuries as a result of his experience at the time.
An opinion from the boy's senior counsel concerning his claim had noted there could be difficulties proving gardai have a duty of care in relation to "overzealous" policing in childcare matters, the judge said.
The opinion also expressed the view it was likely to be argued any such duty could have a "chilling effect".
In all the circumstances, the judge said he would approve as appropriate the €60,000 settlement offer, plus costs, for the now four-year-old boy, who was in court with his parents.
On the application of Peter Bland SC, for the boy, he also directed a small payment out now to meet the costs of a computer for the child who, the judge was told, likes playing computer games.
The child was removed from his home in Athlone in October 2013 after members of the public reported concerns he might not be the child of his parents. He was returned to their care the following day.
The parents later sued the Minister for Justice, the Garda Commissioner and State claiming damages on grounds including alleged negligence, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional harm.
Mr Bland said the boy and another child, a seven-year-old blond Roma girl, were both removed by gardai from their homes in Athlone and Tallaght respectively following "brief hysteria" across Europe when a blonde child, 'Maria', was found in a Roma camp in Greece
The removal of this boy under the Child Care Act 1991 was unwarranted and the Children's Ombudsman, in an "excellent" report, later concluded it amounted to "ethnic profiling", Mr Bland said.
The family also had reason to believe gardai leaked matters to the media. The Government had apologised over the matter, the court heard.
Mr Bland said it was an unusual case involving an "extremely vexed" cause of action which involved imposing a duty of care on gardai in relation to actions under the Child Care Act.

Though The Puffy Chair is the kind of movie that urgently, pathetically wants you to be "Our MySpace Friend!!!" (as the film's website screams), this award-winning indie flick is worth checking out. An amalgamation of Garden State and... well, any road-trip movie you've ever seen, The Puffy Chair is a late-20s quarter-life crisis journey. Which, I know, sounds like it'd be awful to sit through.
Okay, let me start over. This film is cute, yet bittersweet, highlighting the kind of everyday occurrences and conversations that anyone in their late 20s can relate to—the "where is this going, am I wasting my time" relationship talk, the cross-country road trip, the stoner freewheeling brother, the weird old lady running the cheap motel.
You'll recognize yourself in one of the hyper-realistic characters: Josh (Mark Duplass, who also wrote the film) is the rumple-haired rock band booker in NYC who just wants to drive to his parents' house to give his dad a puffy La-Z-Boy chair he found on eBay. Then there's Josh's girlfriend, the adorable Emily (Kathryn Aselton), who wants to join him on the road (and wonders if he'll ever pop the question). And finally there's Rhett (Rhett Wilkins), Josh's hippie brother, whom they pick up along the way (and almost lose—several times—on the short trip). All three are trying to figure out their place in the world and in relation to each other—and what better way to figure that out than in a cramped van barreling down the highway, or in crappy motel rooms?
Granted, all that could make for a tedious, overly dramatic, sappy film. But The Puffy Chair manages to pull off 20-something angst in a genuine, lighthearted (yet not irreverent) fashion, making it feel as if the film's ending comes far too soon.

"How You Became the Side Chick" By: Dee Rene
It's 2 am and my phone is ringing. Thinking it's my "boo" calling, I answer with the "I was sleeping but I'm trying to sound awake for you" voice only to be greeted by a female voice I don't recognize. "Are you fucking my man?"
And here we go again….
How do men get away with this? If you've dated long enough, some of us have been a side chick knowingly or unknowingly. Men are bad liars, but their patterns are similar. He simply builds relies on AMBIGUITY. In this abmitugity, you will get 'side chicked' before you know it.
His main is always a dummy. Well, maybe Bambi is the better term – bright eyed and naive. The Bambi is the woman who wants to believe the best of him but has a sneaking suspicion that he's seeing someone else. So she tries to make friends with all the women who flit with him on a social network – telling her sad tale about "not wanting to be played and I just have to ask woman-to-woman." Side note: If you feel the need to chase down everyone he flirts with to make your claim that he is your man and hope to extend an olive branch of "sisters gotta stick together" so that they stay away from him, you should seek help.
She is shouting from the rooftops that he's her man yet he maintains a quiet ambiguity. They are "exclusive. Kinda together but not really, but everyone close to us knows. With no title." Right. That's like being a little bit pregnant. It's either one or the other but she doesn't want to apply pressure so she plays her position.
That ambiguity is just to buy her silence. He maintains "single" any and everywhere she isn't around. Her past tells her to be cautious but she still believes every word he says because behind closed doors – he really is so great to her. While she's making a scrap book of photos trying to keep a man that doesn't want to be kept, he's frolicking through private messages and bars picking up new women. After all, he is "technically" single. But he'll never say that to her.
If she found out about any one else she'd leave. So he does his best to feed her fantasy just enough to still keep her around but also be able to shut her down with "but we aren't together tho" if she ever gets out of line. He is "single" right so why not see what else is out there? The problem is he isn't being honest with the main chick about wanting to keep those options open, but not lose her at the same (damn) time.
He IS NOT READY to commit, but he doesn't want to be alone. So he does what he can to keep a steady supply of love coming in but only having to give small trickles going out.
Now it's your turn. You meet him and he's up front that there are "some other women he's talking too" but nothing is "that serious." You credit him with being honest about that so he must be honest about everything right? Afterall he didn't HAVE to tell you about anybody else at all. But he's not. He tells you just enough to make you think that he tells you everything, but leaves out the small fact that the main chick really is more serious than it seems. He just maintains that ambiguity.
We Eat. It. Up. Nobody wants to be "that girl" who is applying too much pressure or asking too many questions. We play it soooo cool. You keep playing your position and completely miss the fact that while you are thinking you are talking to a single man, he's actually side chicked you.
You are now the go-to woman when Bambi is crazy. Maybe he even tells you when she is tripping. If it's not "that serious" why does he care? Unless Bambi needs to be committed to a mental hospital, she didn't create these feelings all by herself. Do not forget the most important thing to notice – SHE IS STILL AROUND. If she was that much of a headache, why is she still in his life? Especially when he has another viable option(s)?
Even if you aren't sleeping with him you are his emotional side chick and that's just as bad because now hearts are involved.
What a sweet smelling pile of bullshit. He lies through omission and he's greedy.
Here's a tip ladies – if he can't give you a solid, concrete answer that isn't some sort of riddle, then chances are he's hiding something.
This DOES NOT mean you need to become inspector gadget and interrogate him nightly. It just means stop opening yourself up to ambiguous ass situations. Men know that a woman has probably been accused of being crazy just one too many times by asking too many questions, making assumptions, or going off about wall-post (who is this bitch writing on your wall talking about good morning?), so he brings that up to push her back into silence. We all say we can handle it in the beginning. But the minute you get a "good morning beautiful" text or find yourself smiling at his profile picture, it's time to have a conversation.
There's nothing worse than thinking he's not that serious with someone then seeing "in a relationship" on Facebook.
Start asking real questions.
You: "So what are we?"
Him: "You know I care about you."
That is not a got damn answer ladies.
You: "Are you seeing anybody else?"
Him: "There's one chick I talk to but it's nothing serious."
Now that IS an answer, but the wrong question.
"Does someone else think you are in a relationship?"
"Are you smashing or trying to smash anyone I know?"
"Would you tell Bambi that we talk the way we do?"
Those will get your some real answers and don't settle for anything less than specifics.
You'll have to remember one simple thing, no matter what you feel or he feels he doesn't owe you anything more than what you demand. If you settle for ambiguity for long periods of time then that's exactly what you will get. If you are afraid to speak up for what you truly want, then he has no motive to do anything more than keep you pacified with scraps of love from his table. He may lose you, hurt you, or get cussed out by you while he's doing this dirt but at the end of the day he'll just find a new Bambi or another you and move on.
If you choose to "play your position" just understand that you may actually be playing yourself.

Aberdeen and Hoquiam have begun exploring the process of consolidation their fire and paramedic services, Aberdeen Mayor Bill Simpson told his city council last night "Over the last couple of weeks we have been meeting with [Hoquiam City Administrator] Brian Shay, [Hoquiam Finance Director] Mike Folkers, [Aberdeen Fire Chief] Tom Hubbard and [Aberdeen Finance Director] Kathrine Skolrood talking about what we could do to merge the two fire departments together. Last Thursday we met with the Unions, and they are all ready to help."
A joint press release from the two cities said the idea is to find ways to cut costs while continuing to deliver the same level of service to the community.
In the spirit of cooperative governance, the Cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam are expecting to explore options for the creation of a new regional approach for delivering fire protection and paramedic services. Aberdeen Mayor Bill Simpson and Hoquiam Mayor Jack Durney have authorized their respective staffs to permit formal discussions exploring the feasibility of consolidation of the two fire agencies.
"A lot has changed recently and we are constantly looking at ways to deliver services more efficiently and effectively," said Hoquiam Mayor Jack Durney. "Our Fire Departments already respond jointly and work well together. It's a natural fit." said Aberdeen Mayor Bill Simpson.
The primary purpose of these discussions is to find ways to jointly improve the efficiency, economy and effectiveness in delivering sustainable fire protection and paramedic services for the two communities. In a phased approach, the intent would be to create a single department reducing costs and developing a streamlined approach to fire suppression, paramedic, and disaster preparedness to both communities.
"Our local looks forward to being involved in these discussions with the hopes of providing a safer, more efficient service to the communities we strive to protect. We as an organization continually look for ways to adapt and improve what we do and look at this potential consolidation as a proactive step to help our individual organizations remain viable in the future," said Aberdeen IAFF President Dave Swinhart. "We are excited to work on this together with Aberdeen as a way to potentially improve service to the citizens and create a more sustainable model for our agencies to continue to provide these services for generations to come," said Hoquiam IAFF President Doug Stankavich.
The Aberdeen Fire Department has a budget of $5.1 million with 37 employees and the Hoquiam Fire Department has a budget of $2.8 million with 22 employees.
More information will be provided as this analysis unfolds.

Introduction & Map
This is a cruise we have now taken three times with Deborah's mother on the
Ms Amsterdam
Holland America Line's flagship, in August of 2011, June of 2012 and June 2014. We spent fourteen days cruising starting from, and finishing in, Seattle in Washington, visiting the places shown on the map below. In some of the places where we stopped, we took tours to other locations, so I have separated the pictures over several pages. Generally, you will find comments and descriptions of the pictures at the bottom of each picture; depending on your screen resolution you may have to scroll down to see the comments.
In area, Alaska is the largest state in the United States, and is more than twice the size of Texas, much to their chagrin! The US purchased Alaska from Russia
for $7.2 M
in 1867, and it became the 49th state on January 3, 1959. If Alaska were a country, it would be the 19th largest in the world. In the South-East, where we journeyed, the main indigenous peoples we encountered were the Tlingit people who populated Southeast Alaska and parts of British Columbia and the Yukon. We visited one of their villages, Saxman, while in Ketchikan, and there is more information about them on that page.
The slideshows utilize images taken on all three voyages; in general, I do not identify on which trip a picture originated unless it is important. Oh; I do realize that Victoria is in Canada, not Alaska. We just visited it on the Alaska cruises.

Disclaimer: Not my world, not my characters. I just love writing about them.
My first story, reviews welcome.
Lucy stood in the hotel bathroom, running tap water into a plastic bowl. She looked at the thawing bag of blood on the counter and tried to calm her racing thoughts. She took a deep breath, put the sealed bag in the bowl and walked out to find Emerson sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Tell me again why we're trusting Dr. Beauregard," he said.
"We're not. I ran the original tests on that blood only yesterday. The type is right and it's got silver in it. As soon as it's liquid, we can test it ourselves for the temperature change," she said, gesturing towards the pile of medical supplies on the table. They'd stopped at a medical supply store to get the things she would need to transfuse the blood, plus a thermometer.
She crossed to the bed, sat down next to him and reached for his hand.
"You don't have to do this, you know. It's a risk, Maxwell's studies were small. There may be some other risks besides the one we can look for. I don't... I don't want to lose you."
"You'll lose me if I don't do this. I'm old, Lucy. I feel like I've been running on fumes and willpower for the last six months. I know it'll be quieter where we're going, no more chasing '63s around catwalks, but how much longer can I have? If I keep healthy and get lucky, maybe 10 years, 10 years going downhill from here. Probably less than that. No, if it passes the thermometer test I want that blood."
She looked away and nodded. "It'll be a couple of hours," she said.
"It'll work, you'll see. Maxwell dosed himself, didn't he?"
"Yes, but Maxwell is crazy."
He put his arm around her and pulled her over to lean against his shoulder. Neither of them felt like talking any more, and Lucy tried not to think that this might be their last hours together.
The blood in the bag was body temperature, and Lucy picked up a sharp knife and a small glass. Emerson barely flinched when she cut his arm and let a little blood into the glass, and then put in the thermometer. She handed him a bandage and then let a little of the blood from the bag into the glass. She watched the thermometer closely, but didn't see even a tiny rise. Finally, it started to cool towards room temperature and she stood up. Emerson was already taking his shirt off. I can do this. We can do this.
"What was it like when I did this?" she asked.
"You were unconscious, it wasn't like much. Dr. Beauregard hooked up the blood, and a couple of hours after it was all in you, you woke up suddenly. How did you feel afterward?"
"Very... energetic. Like I could do anything, run around the world without breaking a sweat, fly maybe."
He narrowed his eyes and seemed about to say something, but stopped at a simple "Mm."
She got his arm ready when he was lying on the bed, and stuck a vein on her second try. They didn't have an IV stand, so she propped the bag up on the headboard of the bed. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears as she watched the blood flow into him, and at first he didn't react. A few seconds later, though, she noticed his jaw was clenched.
"What's wrong? What is it?" She reached for the IV, but he batted her hand away.
"It's fine, it just... hurts a little."
"A little? What kind of hurt? Does it burn?"
He shook his head. "No, nothing like that, it just... nnggg... just hurts. I can... taste metal." A sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead and his breathing became labored. She knelt by him, and put her hand in his, knowing that if the blood was going to kill him it was already too late. He squeezed her hand nearly hard enough to crush it, but she was determined to stay. If he dies, at least it won't be alone.
"If the last thing I do... is get you away from Alcatraz... that's the only thing I need," he rasped through gritted teeth. "Cash in the car, it'll..." His back spasmed and he could do nothing but pant for a long minute. "Take my phone when you go... call Nathaniel Brown once you get away from here..." She turned away so he wouldn't see the tears streaming down her face. She tried to say something to comfort him, but she couldn't trust her voice and there was nothing to say.
Lucy paced along the short distance between the hotel bed and the door to the room. Emerson had only been in pain as long as the blood was flowing into him, but while she was unhooking it from him he'd lost consciousness. She didn't know if it was sudden sleep or a coma, and she was afraid to try waking him in case it didn't work. He'd said that it was a couple of hours before she woke from her coma, maybe this was just how it worked. She paced, checked his breathing and his heartbeat every few minutes, and paced.
Lucy turned around to start back towards towards the bed, and Emerson was standing, looking at his hands and flexing his fingers slowly. Her heart leaped in her chest and she flew to him. Apprehension gripped her, and she asked, hesitantly, "How... how are you feeling?"
His eyes snapped to hers, and her heart quivered at the fire she saw burning in them. He reached for her, one hand sliding around her waist and pulling her close, and the other running up her shoulder, up the back of her neck. His grip was strong and when his lips met hers it was with nearly bruising force, but any mere happiness she felt at his having survived was consumed by the liquid fire that spread through her from his kiss. Her hands slid up his chest and encircled his neck. This was somehow different from what they'd shared after catching the warden – that had been partly relief and partly adrenaline, but this was pure desire, raw need. She could smell it on his skin and taste it on his tongue, and she moaned. He gripped her even harder and she thought of that rush of energy she'd had when waking from the coma, and pulled her head away just long enough to gasp "Gently!" in his ear.
He relaxed his hold just enough, and when he returned his mouth to hers her knees turned to jelly. He was gentler, but the kiss seared straight through her and plundered her soul, leaving her breathless and needing more. She started to protest that he'd pulled away, but it turned into another moan when his lips started leaving a trail of electric shocks down her neck. He lowered his hand to the zipper of her dress and, maddeningly, left it there.
"Please," she whispered.
The feeling of her dress sliding down to puddle at her feet was the last thing she was aware of before she let their entwined passion draw her into a world without words.
They lay on the bed, limbs tangled. Lucy's breathing had returned to normal, but her body still seemed to vibrate where Emerson was touching her. She wondered if it would ever stop, and hoped not. He'd been still for a few moments, but she was sure he wasn't sleeping.
He turned his head to murmur in her ear, "Yes?"
She smiled. "I just wanted to hear your voice."
All of the next day and the next night, they drove. They stopped when they came to a small mountain town that looked quiet. Emerson called Nathaniel Brown himself (his banker, it turned out - 50 years of an FBI agent's salary and not much to spend it on leaves a good deal of money) and they ended up owning a modern cabin on 10 acres of land. Lucy settled down to catch up on what had happened in the field of psychiatry and memory, and Emerson helped her sometimes with notes for a book she wanted to write. They both dipped their toes back into the world of music, and if anyone had managed to look in one of their windows on a cold snowy evening (impossible due to all the surveillance equipment Emerson had managed to get his hands on) they might have seen the two curled up on a couch in front of the fireplace while a nearby phonograph spun.
Ok, it needed an epilogue. All reviews welcome, good/bad/incoherent.

I understand you are feeling surprised by the development, and thus hurt. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that there has been an intent to hurt you. To be honest, it doesn't sound like she did anything wrong here. He could maybe have been more considerate, though. It's a bit unclear how clearly you've actually communicated with your husband, and if there's just been misunderstandings or actual violations of agreements.
Since (I assume) she doesn't know about your agreements with your husband, she doesn't know you want to know the people he dates, and doesn't know you feel she shouldn't make out with him unless you have gotten to know each other. And you blame her that when you met her she didn't make an effort to get to know you; yet it doesn't sound like you made an effort to get to know her, either.
On to his behaviour.

I sounds like you have certain values about how weekend time should be spent: preferably with family, and if a longer time is spent with another partner it should only happen with an established one. Have you communicated these things to him, and asked how he feels about it? I understand you are feeling that he placed her above your family time, but he may not know this, and propably doesn't since you write you
he'd be back in 1-2 hours rather than that you
him you'd want that.
However, I'm quite confused with the making out and all that. He knows that you want to know the person before they start to date. It seems that maybe you two have a different definition of "dating", and need to be more clear in communicating about the boundaries. It sounds like he feels that since they aren't dating he did nothing wrong; and also maybe that since you've seen her she's not a total stranger? And you feel that you'd like to know a person better before he makes out with her, even if he doesn't consider it dating? If he doesn't want to date her, does he want something more casual (I don't know what that would be to him, friends with benefits..)? Would you be ok with that? You should talk and try to be as specific and clear about what each of you want (in this situation and in general) as you can.

Just lift up the bike and place both seat-stay and chain-stay on the hooks, then the bike stand alone stably. The rear wheel is lifted up from the ground, so good for light maintenance like cleaning chain or adjusting derailleur
The hook has been modified to be more gentle to the bike and easy to use.
The previous hook on DS-510 was Vinyl coated. It was so sticky that it could be possible that the stand has also come together when you lift up the bike.
The new red hook on DS-520 has soft foamed PVC finish to touch the frame softly and no more this kind of problem
There are two hook installation points on the pillar. Depends on the bike size, you can choose the better height by replacing the hook position. The height difference is 100mm

The Colby Undergraduate Summer Research Retreat (CUSRR) is a two-day symposium and retreat in The Forks, Maine, featuring student talks and poster presentations on a wide variety of topics.
The CUSRR Planning Committee thanks all participants in CUSRR 2017, especially our keynote speaker, Dr. Nolan Gagne '08, for a fantastic 10th anniversary event!
Focused research and other scholarly activities abound on the Colby College campus during the summer months. These endeavors advance the levels of scholarship at Colby and strengthen the engagement between students and faculty. The Colby Undergraduate Summer Research Retreat serves as the capstone event to the summer experience on Mayflower Hill. All students involved in scholarly activity on campus are invited to participate in CUSRR.
The Colby Undergraduate Research Retreat takes place each year at Crab Apple Whitewater, located in The Forks, Maine, nestled on the Kennebec River. Crab Apple Whitewater is owned by Robert Peabody '96.
Please contact Kevin Rice with questions about CUSRR.
