he even uploaded a proof shot on his Instagram
there are probably people who think that their relationship is always like that
but the Yang Hyunsuk I remember was back from WIN in 2013
it was much more different.....
"it's boring"
(even after 3 years, his fashion style hasn't changed.... he has that same hat.... is he Steve Jobs? (T/N: Steve Jobs is known to always wear the same clothes))
and this is the most surprising part...
Kim Jinwoo who was trembling with fear at the sight of Yang Hyunsuk 3 years ago is now...
hand on his shoulder?

NEED is adding new energy workshops all the time. Want to attend? Check out our calendar to find a workshop near you!
From Mary E. Spruill, Executive Director
June 2015
For 35 years, the last day of school and the beginning of summer have signified the start of some of the most exciting things that happen at NEED. Summer gives us the chance to celebrate energy accomplishments from the past school year with NEED teachers and students from all over the country and to train great new NEED teachers for the start of a new NEED year. Each June, we are fortunate to welcome over 500 NEED teachers, students and their parents to the NEED Youth Awards Program and National Recognition Ceremony.
The four days of the Youth Awards Program and National Recognition Ceremony are a time of learning, celebrating and recognizing energy education and the great students and teachers that are at the heart of the NEED network all year long. The event highlights how successful NEED's Kids Teaching Kids programming is. It's a reminder that NEED teachers and students have been doing STEM in the classroom since before it was even an acronym and NEED students and teachers have been teaching others about energy every day for 35 years. We have an impressive history, an energetic and exciting present, and a future that is bright with the leadership of today's NEED kids and the engagement of some of the best teachers ever to enter a classroom or to teach an afterschool program.
We are an energy organization, so it's appropriate to think of how powerful NEED curriculum and teacher training are. Teachers and students train to use NEED in the classroom or in the extracurricular setting. They plan their energy units and think about what energy topics students most want to learn about during the year. They engage local energy companies and organizations to share knowledge, and they are powerful. NEED kids change ideas and attitudes by teaching about energy. NEED teachers provide the classroom support to help students explore, learn and form their ideas and opinions about energy. NEED students and teachers are powerful because of their knowledge and the skills they gain through NEED and other activities.
The new school year is only about six weeks away in some of our schools ("Yikes" you may say!). As teachers scramble to find the most engaging ways to meet the requirements of Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards, we're happy to have plenty of resources to offer them. NEED is a one stop shop for all energy-related standards and a great resource for cross-curricular connections too. We are working hard to bring our teachers and students more opportunities, more energy connections, and more fun than ever before. Energy is a powerful thing and understanding it gives our students a head start in tomorrow's energy jobs.
Stay in touch with us in the coming school year. You'll be seeing updates from our NEED Facilitator Training (coming July 2015 in La Quinta, CA) and our NEED Energy Conference for Educators (also in July 2015), our Tri-State Energy Conference for Educators, hundreds of fall workshops, exhibits at science and STEM conferences and conventions, major energy conferences and more. We're busy and we're looking to find new opportunities to bring the world of energy to our teachers and students right in the classroom! It's nerdy and it's fun. The opportunities in energy are endless. I hope today's NEED kids will grab the energy jobs of the future and turn all their knowledge into great energy careers. Energy is fun. Energy is power. Let's continue to harness the power and momentum of our students, teachers, and partners for great success!
With many thanks,
Mary E. Spruill
Executive Director

Determining Factors that Affect Satisfaction of Students in Undergraduate Tourism Education
Students' satisfaction with their department is of importance in their attitudes towards school. When it is considered that the students, who receive tourism education at universities, are also consumers of the education service provided at the departments, it is necessary to determine the factors that affect student satisfaction. The aim of this study is to determine the factors that affect the satisfaction of the students, who receive undergraduate tourism education, with the tourism undergraduate programs where they are registered. With this purpose, a questionnaire was performed on 1734 students. The method of classification tree was used in determining the factors affecting students' satisfaction. As a result of the classification tree analysis, it was observed that the variable, which affected students' satisfaction most, was the job considered to be done after graduation and that this was followed by sufficiency of job opportunities after graduation, whether the department was chosen after researching or not, whether one can be a good manager with the education received from the department or not, and whether the courses included current subjects or not, respectively.

The World As We See It, or As You See It…12 December 2011
Pioneer Sod House…Cut from the same earth that provided our food…"It didn't leak the first day…but it did for three days after". This would have been a common sodbuster expression. The sod house or semlin (German) was no extravagant home.
It was built quickly (in less than one month) for warmth and for protection from the elemnts during those first prairie winters. The deep root masses of prairie grasses provided the perfect thatch to make sod. Settlers cut sod bricks 36cm (14 inches) wide. 8cm (14 inches) thick with help from an oxen team pulling a breaking or walking plow. The excavated earth created the hollow around which sod bricks would be stacked – the first sunken living room.
Before sod was placed on the roof, tamarack beams and rails would be chinked together with filler such as mud, moss, prairie grasses or bison hair. Although holes were plugged, little visitors like mice, snakes, and bugs were often a common sight.
Sod houses such as this, made for intimate living arrangements. Commonly 6 – 8 family members would have lived in a 12 X 20 foot structure, including two oxen during extreme winter weather!

The Guild Leader Episode #2
The Guild Leader "What kind of guild are you running?"
As a guild leader one of the first questions that needs to be answered when running a guild is what kind of guild are you running? Most of the guilds I have been in fall into two categories. Which are casual or competitive. That sounds a bit simplistic right now, but only to make this easier to understand. Believe me as a guild leader you want easy!
Casual Guilds
A casual guilds tend to be a close knit group of friends or people with the same play style. These tend to be smaller guilds. These type of guild don't really need a guild leader for the most part. Just a figure head leader to open the shop. A lot of the guilds I have been in or run have been this style in the beginning. Once your small guild is overgrow then they tend to be more on the competitive side. Although I did run a larger guild (300 members +) that still remained casual at heart in Star Wars Galaxies (SWG).
Casual guilds will have 10-20 core players that all play for the most part together. Most of the time spent in a guild like this is to help only other guild members. Like a small family environment. A casual guild is a great place to start with the building for your first guild. I good casual guild is very easy on the guild leader, this guild can run itself.
Family Guild: Are smaller outfits that tend to be run and manned by mostly closer friends or small family groups. These require the least amount of organization and rules. It's all about having fun! Guild leader role is limited, just play the game.
Role Playing Guild: Role playing guild can be a bit strange to the non-role player. These guilds tend to attract a lot of wacky people who are out to have some fun. People who join these guilds will stay in character most of the time. Requires organization to keep the people in line but still in character. Guild leader must be good role player to succeed in this style of guild.
Competitive Guilds
Being a guild leader in a competitive guild is much hard than a casual guild. Competitive guilds are the giants compared to casual guilds. I have run guilds like these that have hundreds of members and most players have multiple characters to make sure that every class is available at any given time. As a guild leader for these type of guilds you must stay organized so remember to delegate to your staff.
These type of guilds play the raid game, can overwhelm the local in game economy by cornering markets, and dominate in PVP matches with advanced tactics.
Competitive guilds are not easy to start, normally growing out of a casual guild as the member base expands and player skill levels increases. These guilds also require much more organization than casual guilds. These guild require a guild leader and staff that are on the ball.
Leveling Guild: this is normally a large organization that allows players of all skill level join, for the sake of leveling up together and growing as a team. Due to large player base must have good leadership and organization from the guild leader. These guilds have a very high turn around. Players will be coming and going a lot.
Raiding Guild: this type of guild is extremely organized. Having staff members working as teams, doing all required research of raid level boss types and running events on end game level mobs. This type of guild requires the high skilled players, so having a very strong guild leader and officers in place is needed.
Organized goals and what is expected of each player should be displayed for all to see. This type of guild can be a real pain to lead but the most satisfying also.
PVP Guild: PVP guild are always on the competitive side regardless of size. These guild will organize with the best gear for domination of the PVP ranks. These players tend to have the highest skill level in game. So this guild leader should be very experienced leader and player.
Well that's my run down on the types of guild as I see it. Hope you enjoyed this article, please stay tuned for the next episode the Guild Leader coming soon.
"The Guild Leader" is a weekly series by Beer and Joysticks .com and written by Chris Gillis covering all aspects of being a better guild leader. If you have any questions or comments we welcome them below this article.

Dannell Ellerbe, Saints Restructure Contract: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction
The New Orleans Saints and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe agreed on a restructured contract on Wednesday.
NOLA.com's Katherine Terrell reported the news, and ESPN.com's Mike Triplett confirmed Ellerbe's deal had been restructured. ESPN's Field Yates provided additional financial details on Thursday:
Field Yates @FieldYates
@Jason_OTC Ellerbe's new deal in '16: $1.7M p5, $750k RB, $50k WO (up to $700k in p/t). '17 the same terms, but voids if he plays 80% in /162016-2-11 14:26:42
Per Spotrac, the 30-year-old veteran was due $4.1 million in base salary and would have been a $5.9 million cap hit with bonuses over the final two years of his contract.
Ellerbe appeared in only six games for the Saints this past season due to injuries and made four starts, recording 39 combined tackles, one pass defensed and one forced fumble.
New Orleans could have used more of Ellerbe on the field in 2015, as its defense was abysmal, ranking 31st against the pass and run and dead-last in points allowed.
As positive as his impact was when he was healthy, Ellerbe didn't have much leverage in terms of resorting to a restructured deal. He appeared in just one game for the Miami Dolphins in 2014 due to a hip injury and has never played a full 16 games in one season.
The Dolphins traded Ellerbe to the Saints in the swap involving wide receiver Kenny Stills this past March.
Ellerbe showed flashes of becoming a star at the beginning of his career with the Baltimore Ravens, but he needs to step up in 2016 and would do well to earn one more NFL payday if he can stay on the field more often.
Stephone Anthony and Hau'oli Kikaha were first- and second-round picks last year, respectively, and will hopefully show improvement in their second seasons. Having a seasoned pro like Ellerbe to mentor them ought to help their developments.
If Ellerbe can emulate the impact he had at the end of his stint in Baltimore, where he was a key contributor on the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII-winning team, the Saints may have a tremendous bargain on their books with his contract.

In China, the company specialized in manufacturing the anti-abrasion rubber lining board is Zenith Machinery, which is the only company who own the production technology of wet type anti-abrasion rubber, and the anti-abrasion rubber produced by our company reaches 128 in the anti-abrasion degree.
This rubber lining board in inside the mq series ball mill has perfect effects, which can be reflected in the following points:
1. Reduce the energy consumption of ball mills: The proportion of the rubber is only one-seven of the manganese steel, so that using anti-abrasion rubber lining board can reduce the weight of the cylinder, thus reducing the workload of the motor, and at the same time, reducing the production cost of the ore grinding by grinding mill .
2. High anti-abrasion and impact proofing: The elasticity of the rubber greatly reduces the impacting force, and the anti-abrasion performance is greatly improved, so that the service life of the lining board is 1.5-2 times of the manganese steel plate. The service life is 2~3 years if it is used in the first grinding stage, and 4~5 years used in the second grinding stage.
3. Low noise: The collision of the steel and the rubber reduces the noises itself, and at the same time, the anti-abrasion rubber itself has the function of sound insulation, thus the noises are reduced by over 18db. The reduction of the noises improves the working environment, which stimulates the motivation of the customers to some degree, and indirectly improves production effectiveness of the manufacturing company.
4. The installation of the ball mill is easy: The weight of the rubber is weight, so that the installation of the lining board is convenient, which shortens the maintenance time by three fourths, and the sealing performance is excellent, thus improving the running efficiency of the company.
5. Anti-corrosion: The manganese steel may have chemical reaction with the acid, soda and salt, thus accelerating the abrasion of the lining board. However, the anti-abrasion rubber lining board manufactured by Zenith Machinery has been newly researched with anti-corrosion property, thus extending the service life of the lining board.
6. High effective size and processing ability: Because the anti-abrasion rubber lining board is highly anti-abrasive, and the thickness of the lining board is thinner than that of the manganese steel, so that the volume of the ball mill is increased, and properly adjusting the ball filling amount can improve the processing ability of the ball mill.

At Bank of America Corp. next year, how much employees make will determine how much they pay for health insurance. The Charlotte bank has been informing its U.S. employees about the new approach, which means lower-paid workers will pay less and higher-paid ones will pay more for their coverage in 2011. Salary-tiered health insurance programs are still an "emerging trend," but an increasing number of companies are adopting this approach, human resources consulting firm Hewitt Associates found last year. Less than 15 percent of employers vary employee contributions based on pay, according to the firm's 2010 database of 2,307 plans.

As investigators from two federal agencies continue to look into the cause of the Imperial Sugar Co. refinery blast, pressure is mounting on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to beef up worker protection against dust explosions.
The Feb. 7 disaster at the Port Wentworth plant has been traced to a sugar-dust explosion. Investigators from OSHA and the Chemical Safety Board are on site trying to further pinpoint what ignited the explosion. They expect to continue their work for months.
Both sets of investigators are interviewing witnesses and sifting through documentation and wreckage from the blast.
The Chemical Safety Board's job is to find a root cause and make safety recommendations to prevent future accidents, said board spokesman Daniel Horowitz.
"We look at what happened, what was the sequence of events and what needs to be improved," he said.
OSHA's job is to assign blame, if there's any to be handed out.
"OSHA is going to determine if any violation of OSHA code was committed," said OSHA spokesman Michael Wald.
Critics say it's unlikely there will be violations that serve as a caution for other facilities.
When OSHA has made combustible dust citations, they have mainly come after an accident and have been lumped in the administration's catch-all "general duty clause," according to the Chemical Safety Board. OSHA has a dust standard only for grain-handling facilities. That was issued almost 20 years ago, and it effectively reduced the number and severity of combustible grain dust explosions.
In 2006, the Chemical Safety Board called for standards in these other industries susceptible to combustible dust, including food products, rubbers, metals, wood, pharmaceuticals, plastics, paint and coatings and synthetic organic chemicals.
The board found that nearly 280 dust fires and explosions had occurred in the U.S. in the 25 years prior, causing 119 fatalities and more than 700 injuries. OSHA responded instead with a weaker "national emphasis program" intended to step up inspections of facilities with a combustible dust risk. It began in October.
Quick call for action
The day after the explosion, Congressman George Miller, a California Democrat who chairs the House Education and Labor Committee, and Rep. Lynn Woolsey, another California Democrat who chairs the work-force protections subcommittee, called for comprehensive regulations on combustible dust.
"Even as the recovery effort continues in Savannah, other workers' lives remain at risk," they wrote to Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao. "Issuing a comprehensive combustible-dust standard as recommended by the CSB will go a long way toward preventing more tragedies like this.
"Because of the continuing uncontrolled hazards of combustible dust, issuing a mandatory combustible dust standard should be a high priority of OSHA, and we strongly urge you to act now."
They also asked Chao to enumerate how many OSHA officials have been trained in assessing combustible dust hazards and how many inspections have been conducted. They requested a response by Monday and had not received a reply as of Friday, said committee spokesman Aaron Albright.
Unknown data
OSHA spokesman Wald, who is based in Atlanta, could not say how many of those inspections had occurred in Georgia or if Imperial had been targeted for one.
"We won't be provided that data until it's provided nationwide," he said.
Last week, half a dozen labor unions, including the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, along with the Teamsters, petitioned Chao to issue a temporary emergency standard on combustible dust.
They had received no response as of Friday, said LaMont Byrd, health and safety director for the Teamsters.
That union does not represent workers at Imperial, which is a non-union workplace, but the Teamsters union does represent 60,000 members exposed to combustible dust hazards in other industries.
Widespread fallout
Along with congressional representatives and labor leaders, even citizens have been prompted to action on dust hazards by the Imperial disaster.
John Astad, of Santa Fe, Texas, began mapping possible dust explosions after coverage of the Imperial accident indicated how common they are.
By trolling the Internet for news stories of explosions and fires where dust is mentioned as a possible cause, he has identified 10 such accidents in the past month and posted them to a Web site. To see the map, go online to http://tiny.cc/G5Gcd.
"What I'm hoping to accomplish is to bring an awareness to legislators to have a change in workplace rules where there's a combustible-dust standard that OSHA can enforce," said Astad, a dock operator at the Port of Texas City.
"Right now, it's not in the rules."

Oliver Stone Promises Sensitivity in 9/11 Film
Director Oliver Stone promises his forthcoming film about the September 11 terrorist attacks will be respectful to victims of the atrocities.
The Platoon movie-maker is confident the Nicolas Cage-starring movie will not offend survivors because he is not attempting to glamorize the incident which claimed thousands of lives.
Instead, he will focus on the accurate re-telling of just one story from the fateful day—the two policemen who were rescued from the rubble of the Twin Towers 22 hours after they collapsed.
Co-producer Michael Shamberg says, "We're not doing the 'Towering Inferno–Titanic' version. We're not doing everyone's story that day.
"We're trusted with the accuracy of the particular story that we're telling."
Both Stone and Shamberg have consulted New York residents and families of the victims to ensure the project is handled sensitively.
Most of the film's scenes will be shot out in Los Angeles, and the movie will incorporate television footage of actual events.

...[br] [br] Hahahahaha ... I was about to talk to you about this in private, but having seen what Swag has already said, it looks like I have nowhere to run?[br] [br] Jo ... you said "transferred", so where did the remaining amount of rent go to? Is it kept with the previous owner or the new one? [br] [br] I dont exactly know the law, and even if I do, there are a lot of people who would not care ... if the new owner has already taken the rent, or the remaining portion, then he has to at least honor the contract: either let you stay or pay you back the remaining rent ...[br] [br]
...[br] [br] (continued) ...
The only right you have is to be paid two months fine including your remaining rent and off you go[br]
Chicken ... where did you hear about that?[br] [br] By the way, Jo ... Persphone seems to have fairly good knowledge about local law, you might want to ask her ...
What are the regulations of landlord violating your agreements in your contract? If there're items about how to solve such situation, then do it.
Techinically, it's illegal that the landlord sells the house he/she has rented without querying with the sitting tenants, tenants can refuse to move.
However, what rights you own is one thing, wether you can protect them is another thing.
A friend of mine (Chinese) had the similar situation two weeks ago, he made the contract via agency, his landlord wants to sell the house, therefore my friend was kicked out far earlier than the lease. My friend tried to refuse to move, tried to ask the agency to solve the problem, tried to lodge a complaint, all in vain, in the end, he just got all the upfront rent back.
My suggestion: If you have lawyer friends, consult them or ask them to negotiate with the new landlord. Try talk with the new landlord with patience, get your upfront rent back, ask for compensation of 1-2 months rent. If you're very furious and don't care about the loss, try contact some jouralist to explose this matter, let the public voice pushes the landlord to do the right thing :P
Jo ... you said "transferred", so where did the remaining amount of rent go to? Is it kept with the previous owner or the new one?
The new owner have received the remaining rent from the old landlord. As well as the deposit. I met both the old and new landlord together 7 days ago where this things was cleared out. The new landlord also told us in that meeting that we could stay till the contract ends. So either she changed her mind after this, or she just didnt have the courage to tell it to me in the face, I'm guessing the last one.
Any idea of where to find the rental laws? I've been googling and binging for the last hour, and I haven't found anything yet. Though I am googling in english, not in Chinese. You wanna give it a shot and see if you can find it for me?
I`m offering free drinks to the guy(s) that can find the Chinese rental laws for me :-)
。。。[br] [br] (continued) ... [br][br]
Techinically, it's illegal that the landlord sells the house he/she has rented without querying with the sitting tenants, tenants can refuse to move [br]
... I am afraid this is NOT true ... [br]
Jo ... I just found this page on Baidu, in Chinese, get Shayla to have a read ...[br]
http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/232803641.html[br] [br]
你(new owner)无权参与租客与原业主的租赁合同,只能等合同到期。因为租赁合同的签订日期在你买房子之前。你的买卖合同部得对抗善意第三人,善意第三人也就是租客。他没有必要和你再签合同。
It's the one, but there're related contents in some other laws:
What are the regulations of landlord violating your agreements in your contract? If there're items about how to solve such situation, then do it.
From the contract: Party A`s (Landlord) responsiblities
After signing this Tenancy Agreement by both parties, if Party A breaches this Tenancy agreement, Party B (me) has the right to ask for additional compensation in addition to the refund of the deposit from Party A. The amount of compensation shall be equivalent to the deposit.During the tenancy period Party A is not premitted to take back the premisises without the consent of Party B [...] Otherwise, Party B retains the right to refuse or ask for compensation equivalent to two months rent and Party A must refund the said deposit and the unspent rent to Party B.
...[br] [br] (continued) ... this page was 7 years ago ... even China's insurance law has changed at least once in the last three years ... currently searching for the latest edition ...
@DD, I know, and I have latest version of it, but doc format, just gave OP and other warm-hearted people (like you )some keywords to do further searching.
Techinically, it's illegal that the landlord sells the house he/she has rented without querying with the sitting tenants, tenants can refuse to move ... I am afraid this is NOT true ...
The new landlord have added her signature to the original contract and accepted all terms in the contract.
。。。[br] [br]
(continued) ...
I`m offering free drinks to the guy(s) that can find the Chinese rental laws for me :-)[br]
Jo ... anything to help ... as long as you guys get the damn site working properly ...
@ Joakim: You should check all the regulations in your original contracts as I asked, mine has this part very clear, I've heard plenty of similar stories from my lawyer friends, it's true. If you check some court records, some judgers say so too. To protect your rights is very hard, time and energy saving way is to get compensation and all the money you've paid back.
Hmm, In China, I don't know if the word contract really exists. The stupid advice I'd give to you is to search for a place before things get out of hands. Once the landlord calls the police will say u wrong and the Chinese Land lord is right.
I have been a victim many times and lost my money. In my case I won't even want to bother to argue, it's just in vain.
That's China
To protect your rights is very hard, time and energy saving way is to get compensation and all the money you've paid back.
What can we include in our demands of compensation? The contract states that we have the rights of 2 months compensation. But can we demand anything more than this? Example of other cost that I want to know if we can include are:
5-10 days moving costs, including 6 employees on pay roll.
"During the tenancy period Party A is not premitted to take back the premisises without the consent of Party B [...] Otherwise, Party B retains the right to refuse or ask for compensation"
The fact that we got the rights to refuse sounds like it really just is a negotiation situation. So the question is, what are the landlord really capable of doing if we refuse or delay this negotiation?
...[br] [br] (continued) ... Chicken ... no argument about the age part, but I know I am not back in Australia ... [br] [br] Snake ... ahhhhhh ... never mind ... just keep entertaining us ... [br] [br] Jo ... back in 2008, when we were moving out from Legent, the new owner tried to cheat us of the deposit, because he said that was written in the contract ... so, being ignorant and stupid and all that, I said that I would check the contract (in Chinese), and since we had done everything according to contract, I refused (which means that he was asking for me to agree outside the contract, but failed) ...[br] [br] ... after getting nowhere, he probably called the the agent who called us, asking to give a little because the owner is new (or some crap excuse), and my reply was still "I will do whatever the contract said" ... after a few more phone calls, they gave up ...[br] [br] So. though it is true that a lot of people dont obey or observe the law and/or contract, I believe, as long as we are on the right side ot the law, there is little these people can do ... [br] [br]
第七条 租赁房屋的,出租人和承租人应当依法签订房屋租赁合同。合同内容应当包括房屋基本情况、租金、租赁期限、租赁用途、违约责任等。[br] 房屋租赁期限内未经承租人同意,出租人不得擅自缩短租赁期限、增加租金。[br] 第八条 出租人出卖租赁房屋的,应当在出卖之前的合理期限内通知承租人,承租人享有以同等条件优先购买的权利。[br] 房屋在租赁期限内因买卖、继承、赠与等发生所有权变动的,不影响租赁合同的效力。[br] Check http://www.gov.cn/flfg/2011-07/13/content_1905555.htm
If the contract states "we have the rights of 2 months compensation" clearly, I don't think you can ask for more compensation. But you have the right to refuse to move out according to the regulation.
I think you can negotiate with the landlord, it's just 2 months left, why she cant wait another 30 days? If she insists, you can try to put your additional conditions up front.
PS, I don't need reward for offering help, just put me in less pain when editing the post.
Joakim I found this on Google, not sure how up to date this is but it gives an idea.
The law is pro-landlord Although, the rental housing sector is heavily regulated, the system is in favor of landlords. The landlord is covered by the guaranty money and there are no restrictions regarding discrimination of tenants.
Rents: Can landlord and tenant freely agree rents in China? China has old rent control laws, remnants of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). These controls are not strictly implemented and laws and regulations are being passed at the local level to remove these restrictions.
There is no rent control in major centers such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. Rent adjustments are subject to the provisions of the contract. Most monthly rents are quoted in USD. However, due to the switch to floating exchange rate regime, rents quoted in RMB are growing.
Deposits Guaranty money (security deposit) is usually about two to three months' rent. A down payment or advance payment for one month's rent is also usually required. In some cases, deposit is only one month's rent but the tenant has to pay 3 months' rent in advance. (For a Sample Contract, please click here) Within 20 working days after the end of the tenancy, the guaranty money is returned without interest and after deducting costs for repairs and unpaid utilities. If the deposit is not sufficient, the tenant is usually required to remit the amount within the 15 days.
What rights do landlords and tenants have in China, especially as to duration of contract, and eviction? The usual lease term is 12 months with an option to renew for a 2nd year. If the tenant wishes to renew the contract, he must notify the landlord two to three months before the expiration of the contract.
If the landlord wishes to unilaterally terminate the contract prematurely, he must pay double the down payment and double the guaranty money, a total of about 8 months' rent. If the tenant prematurely terminates the contract, he will lose the guaranty money and down payment.
The tenant is charged 0.5% interest per day for late payments. If the amount remains unpaid for 20 days, the landlord can terminate the contract and take the guaranty money. If the tenant subleases the house without the landlord's written consent, which shall constitute a breach of contract and entitle the landlord to compensation worth 3 months' rent.
If the tenant does not remove his properties from the rental unit 10 days after the expiration of the contract, the landlord is entitled to dispose of the said properties without any compensation to the tenant. Subleasing is generally not allowed.
Duration until completion of service of process 15
Duration of trial 105
Duration of enforcement 60
Total Days to Evict Tenant 180

DANIEL Cross arrived at Melbourne with few expectations.
The delisted Western Bulldog was brought in by Paul Roos, the only man to show serious interest, with the Demons coach smitten by Cross's ability to teach.
One of the game's ultimate professionals, Cross was there to impart wisdom on emerging midfielders Jack Viney, Dom Tyson and Chris Salem and hopefully add to an engine room dangerously low on depth.
But it was Collingwood superstar Dayne Beams who copped the biggest lesson, held to just 19 disposals on Monday on the Demons biggest stage for the year.
Beams made amends with two crucial second-half goals and set up Travis Cloke for the sealer, but still endured his dirtiest day since possession-wise since the 2011 preliminary final.
Beams entered the Queen's Birthday clash as the Magpies 2014 barometer — his average of 29 disposals one less than in 2012, his Copeland Trophy year.
Cross's job short-circuited his usual midfield spark, severely wounding Nathan Buckley's side and reflective of the ugly scrap in front of the 68,124 crowd.
In a defensive lockdown with both sides employing spares behind the ball, the line-breaking flair the Magpies' midfield needed to penetrate the Demons wall was left to the likes of Paul Seedsman and, well, not much else.
In a match-up lasting 96 of the 99 minutes, Beams collected five limp first-quarter disposals and it took him 18 minutes of the second term to win a touch, a dinky handball following a Max Gawn turnover.
His highlight came with a goal to finish the third quarter and another to start his impressive last quarter, but Cross has to be excused for the first.
On that occasion the tattooed Queenslander gleefully collected the footy after Jay Kennedy-Harris dropped a mark from an overzealous Jeremy Howe kick and snapped truly.
What would have frustrated Buckley was that while Beams' supreme class was rendered invisible for most of the frustrating MCG afternoon, he also couldn't contribute defensively for the bulk of the match.
Beams failed to lay a tackle in the first three terms and won just six contested disposals, joining Brett Deledio and Jack Macrae as recent Cross victims.
He also won his sole clearance midway through the last quarter, a stat he hasn't been held to zero in since both the 2010 Grand Finals, with Demons legend Garry Leon heaping praise on the former Dog.
And of the five players Roos secured from other clubs, it was the underrated 31-year-old, playing game No. 221 who had close to the best day as he finished with 21 disposals and six marks.
Cross, a reliable midfield warrior, twice outmarked Beams in the second quarter, showing off his aerial prowess as he fights to win a contract extension past this season.
The veteran chased Beams every step of the way in the final minute of the match as the explosive Magpie rarely found space inside 50, with Cross's pressure ensuring the snap stayed wide.
Fellow import Bernie Vince shared the honours against Scott Pendlebury, while Dom Tyson was smashed by shake Brent Macaffer's close attention in a game littered by one-on-ones as a battle of chess unfolded from the coach's boxes.

Namatian didn't recline but sat, feet planted in front of him, cup in one hand and the other fidgeting with his yellow tunic. His reputation was as a man devoted to the past, so his invitation to a dinner of the Anicii seemed peculiar to Eucher at first, until he realized a politician as worldly as the Consul knew to cultivate his own kind—the better men—regardless of their beliefs.
"If God wants everyone celibate," asked Namatian in response to the description of Jerome, "who'll be left to serve him?" He brushed a hand across his chin as if wiping away spilled wine. He hadn't taken a drink and seemed to be responding to his own sudden outburst as if he had surprised himself. He clanged his silver cup onto the satyr table and added, "The world should have ended before Nero ever had the chance to burn Rome. Isn't that what Jesus said?"
Pelagius had been exuberantly gesturing before the couches as he spoke. Now, he slouched, resting his arms across his belly like a pregnant woman. "How can we know when it comes? We need to prepare. As our brother Bishop John of Constantinople once said, 'the present draws to a close, and the things of the resurrection are at the door'."
"Bishops have been telling us that for centuries."
"It's not for us to know when but to believe."
"Is that how they teach you to think in Britain?" accused Namatian. "Romans are practical men. Religion, like politics, is the art of the possible. Shall I adore a criminal who gives me to my enemies or build a temple for a god who offers them to me?"
"Yes, yes, noble Senator," exclaimed Pelagius, happily roused by the turn of argument. "Offer sacrifices to demons. Superstition may have power here, but you'll find its devotions are powerless in the face of eternity. Only personal sacrifice, not blood sacrifice, can move the heart of Christ, the final judge." Pelagius's excitement grew sober again. "I was speaking of Jerome, and he's wrong about marriage. He sounds like Bishop Augustine, as if the world and everything in it is evil, as if it were created by demons rather than God."
The Consul finally came to his absent client's defense. "Bishop Augustine condemned those ideas many years ago. He's not a heretic."
Pelagius changed his approach, saying, "God wouldn't create something evil."
"He left that for priests!" shouted someone. A few men laughed.
Pelagius eyed the men sternly. He had no sense of humor. Christians never had.
"I've heard you also condemn marriage, and every other pleasure," added Namatian.
"Noble Namatian," began Longinian, a smile teasing the corners of his mouth, "You're a reputed poet but still young. You'll soon learn that senators share their pleasure with women not wives."
The laughter in the room was cut short again by Pelagius. "Doesn't Matthew tell us that 'You must be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect'?" He gestured at us with a pointed finger. "Renounce those things that are by their nature and influence, corrupt. Corruption is all around us: in imperial service, in wealth, in Rome." His roaming finger ended its journey pointing at Eucher.
"Imperial service?" Namatian scoffed. "Every man in this room serves Rome and our glorious emperor, Honorius, forever Augustus."
Pelagius's father had been a Roman official in Britain. For over a century, the law required men to pass their professions to their sons, and it was important to enforce the law on the better men of the cities because more than anyone, they avoided the burdens of their rank. Many men like Pelagius took Holy Orders to avoid managing the post, auditing accounts, or paying for aqueducts and shows.
Pelagius continued as if he didn't understand the accusation. "A governor who has a man executed is a murderer and unclean in the eyes of God. A senator who corrupts the morals of his city with savage shows and games is unclean in the eyes of God. A landlord who eats pheasant while his tenants don't even have bread is unclean in the eyes of God. Do you need more examples? We're all monks, made so when the blessed water baptizes us. If you wish to discuss duty, then this is your only duty: be like your Father in Heaven. Because we can be perfect, we must be."
"Who will be master of Rome?" Eucher asked. "Will Jesus kill the barbarians? Will he make our walls unbreachable?"
Namatian worked himself up again. "I'm a man of Rome. I serve all the gods. Didn't Venus and Mars, mother of Aeneas and father of Romulus, create us? Who was it who made Romans to surpass all men in war and mercy? Don't we owe Minerva for the olive and Bacchus for the vine? Hasn't Mithra aided our legions in every land? We've shared our laws and our prosperity with the world. We've made of it a single city. The world belongs to us, and we belong to the gods."
"I've been honored with this office three times in my life," added Flavian earnestly, "and I've many times had to execute a man."
Pelagius turned to consider the Prefect, but Namatian pursued, saying, "You can't agree about your own god. You say Christians shouldn't kill, but you kill even each other. You say Christians should give up worldly things, but they fill their churches will silver plate…" Namatian paused before adding with a smile, "And share dinners with Consuls."
Only deliberate ignorance, it seemed to Eucher, could allow Pelagius to remain impervious to the well-aimed accusations. But Pelagius ignored Namatian and addressed Flavian, "A man shouldn't spend his life in worldly pursuits thinking to pass freely into Heaven by last-minute contrition. But penance—and few men seem capable of its rigors—is a testament to faith."
"Kneeling, praying, and abstaining will drive a man mad before it ever saves him," whispered Namatian to Eucher as he kept his eyes on Pelagius. "Look at what it did to Theodosius." He glanced sideways, and his eyes widened, as if he just realized who Eucher was.
Eucher smiled at the insult paid his grandfather, not to ease Namatian, but because he agreed.
Namatian smiled faintly before turning back to the discussion. "You're so busy dividing the wheat from the chaff, what's left for God to do?"
The bored men perked up. Several cups paused under parted lips.

Shadow Art by Fabrizio CorneliJanuary 27, 2014 | Pirate Manu
The shadow art of Italian artist Fabrizio Corneli is the result of carefully calculated projections of light. Using mathematics to produce each visually compelling and mind-boggling piece of work, Corneli gives life to his seemingly simple, geometric wall extensions with light. He poignantly says, "Light is energy which creates forms."
Whether Corneli's piece is a folded sheet of copper casting the negative space of an intricate scene, a suspended triangular lantern expelling a burst of light in the silhouette of a man with outstretched arms, or a few simple stick-like structures on a wall allowing shadows to create the defining contours of animal faces, they each utilize the power of light and shadow to form unforeseeable figures.

Fiber Optic Installations by Carlo BernardiniJanuary 7, 2014 | Pirate Manu
Carlo Bernardini started out his career in the early 90′s with an abstract painting that concentrated on the dialectical relationship between line and monochrome, diversified moments of representative conception of space-light. He started using fiber optics in 1996, transforming dark spaces into abstract light environments. Most of his site-specific installations are based on triangular forms or similar geometric shapes.

Estar Móveis by SuperLimão StudioJanuary 7, 2014 | Pirate Manu
Located in a building on the corner of the street, the store should house the contemporaneity of the collection and the brand ́s new language. It has acted in the market for over 60 years and in this new undertaking, it searches for a new esthetic language printed on its products and also in the architecture.
A honeycomb inspired the hexagonal shape on the facade and this shape allows a better solution for planes and curves situation. The coating was used in some moments in an opaque way and in others as semi-translucent, evoking movement between straight and curved angles. At the same time, shaping the openings sometimes explicit like in the main window and it alludes itself more discretely at times to incite visitation.
The masonry was peeled and exposed crudely and the lighting uses the preexisting structure to its fixation, bringing the highest flexibility possible for the product exhibition at the store. Old existent bricks were kept making a conversation between new and old materials.Inspired by the unusual architectural proposal, the plastic artist Felipe Morozini signs the creative direction of the objects, furniture and the art for ESTAR GABRIEL.

The graphic design program in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's Department of Art and Art History hosted a symposium in September titled "Design + Social Justice" to highlight the visual communications, stories and portraits of revolutionary social movements and examined how graphic design is a tool for organizing and inspiring people to act.
"It's been a whirlwind," said Assistant Professor of Art Stacy Asher. "It's been very exciting. I enjoyed seeing our students active and engaged with the work."
The graphic artifacts exhibited during the symposium represented the role of art as a revolutionary force and how art and design can communicate about a need for social change. The symposium also examined the role of graphic design in creating messages that promote civil and human rights, preservation of the environment and advocacy of equal opportunity.
The featured guest speaker and visiting artist was Emory Douglas, a former Minister of Culture and artist of the Black Panther Party. Last May, Douglas received The Medal of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), the most distinguished award in the field of graphic design. His work was on display at the university's Sheldon Museum of Art, and he was in residence in the Department of Art and Art History. His public lecture during the Symposium drew an overflow crowd to Sheldon's 300-seat auditorium.
Also attending the Symposium were photographer Suzun Lucia Lamaina, a former colleague and student of Farm Security Administration photographer John Collier. Lamaina presented an exhibition of current portraits of former members of the Black Panther Party at the university's Love Library. Assistant Professors of Art Aaron Sutherlen and Asher are designing a book of these portraits and the members' stories titled "Revolutionary Grain: Celebrating the Spirit of the Black Panther Party in Portraits and Stories," which will be published in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the Black Panther Party in October 2016.
An exhibition of underground newspapers from the 1960s and 1970s from the collection of Black Panther Party Historian Billy X Jennings were also on display at Love Library.
Additionally, a collection of graphic design activism for a variety of exhibitions, organizations and causes by Justin Kemerling, an independent designer, activist and collaborator in Omaha, were on display at Love Library, too.
Sutherlen and Asher also held screenprinting workshops during the symposium, which were attended by more than 100 Lincoln Public School students.
Asher said they collaborated with many different departments and programs on campus for the Symposium, including Sheldon Museum of Art, Love Library, the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, History, Ethnic Studies, Sociology, the Center for Civic Engagement and more were all participating or provided support for the symposium. The symposium also received a grant from Humanities Nebraska.
"It really was the collective," Asher said. "There were a lot of people who shared the vision and made it happen."
Sutherlen said the symposium helped expand people's view of the role of graphic design.
"A lot of people don't think about graphic design, or art even, as ways of engaging with these other colleges that are outside of creative fields," he said. "So this was a really good experiment for us to see that could work and make that apparent. That's something we need to keep going."
Sutherlen liked exploring the issues the symposium raised through graphic design.
"I liked knowing that design was being examined as a means of exploring a message and championing a message," Sutherlen said. "To see the Journalism or Ethnic Studies students, who are so engaged in the topics, see how design plays such an important role in promoting an idea was very valuable. We know there are things being written or discussed, but to show it from an artist's or designer's vantage point was exciting."
Sutherlen and Asher would like to digitize the underground newspapers so they can be used by more people.
"The Symposium gave us an opportunity to examine and explore and figure out how to best get these artifacts into a place that others can use them and learn from them," he said. "We're setting goals for next year, not just for exhibitions and the lectures related to the exhibition, but how do we archive these pieces and make them usable for people to do research and use them as historical artifacts and not just disappear into the ephemera of other memorabilia that disappear?"
Sutherlen said students can often get "hyperfocused" on their own college and in their own world of art or design. He wants his graphic design students to be aware of all the diverse things going on at the university and in the world and to participate in them.
"We're starting to see our students reach out," he said. "They see that design is important and can be an important aspect of a research topic. It shouldn't be overlooked. It's about understanding how design can help solve a problem. Designers have a unique perspective on these problems and can be very valuable to the team."

Kai Ryssdal: Not all prices are created equal, though. In another sign of a faltering global economy, steel prices are off 30 percent since this spring.
Marketplace's Sarah Gardner has that story.
Sarah Gardner: In April, steel was a hot commodity, selling for close to $900 a ton.
Bridget Freas: And that was based on expectations of demand really starting to pick up.
Expectations that didn't pan out, says Morningstar analyst Bridget Freas. Instead, demand is sort of muddling along. Now, steelmakers have too much supply. Freas says the market's correcting itself and fretting about future demand, worries fed by Europe's money crisis, slower growth in China and the general global malaise.
Analyst Mark Parr at KeyBanc Capital Markets.
Mark Parr: Certainly there's a lot of concern, people are discouraged, unemployment is high.
A few big European steelmakers have temporarily idled some production lines. About half of steel's business comes from construction, an industry still in the doghouse. Steel's other big customer, the auto industry, is recovering, but slowly. And some steel buyers are simply holding off, waiting to see if prices fall even further.
I'm Sarah Gardner for Marketplace.

The Competition Tribunal has unconditionally approved the acquisition of Tiger Automotive Investments (Pty) Ltd (TiAuto) by a consortium comprising Carlyle Group L.P. (Carlyle) and Old Mutual Private Equity (Old Mutual).
The primary acquiring firm, Business Venture Investments 1858 (Pty) Ltd, is a company created for the purposes of the proposed transaction. It is ultimately controlled by certain funds managed by affiliates of the Carlyle on the one hand; and Old Mutual Private Equity, on behalf of certain funds advised by it, on the other.
TiAuto is a company involved in the wholesale and retail supply of passenger car tyres and aftermarket alloy wheels in Southern Africa.
The Competition Commission found that the proposed transaction does not give rise to any competition concerns due to the fact that the acquiring firms are largely investment entities and do not have any interest in firms directly involved in similar businesses as TiAuto. In addition, the proposed transaction does not raise any public interest concerns as the business of TiAuto will continue to operate on a standalone basis and will not be integrated into the acquiring firms. Accordingly, no retrenchments will occur as a result of the proposed transaction. The Tribunal agreed with the Commission's findings and approved the merger without conditions.

I doubt that I'm reaching senility at this cool age of 50-something. However, I begin to wonder sometimes. Here's why.
Today (and a few other times lately) I had people boarding and others leaving my bus. Since I try to greet even the grumpiest-looking folks as they leave the bus, as well as acknowledge the many thank-you's and "have a nice day" folks, I get a bit tongue twisty.
One lady de-boarded through the front door as I was printing fares for those boarding at a busy downtown stop.
"Thank you," the nice lady said as she exited.
"Hi," I replied.
To the new passenger I printed the fare for: "Have a nice day, thanks for riding."

Kent County High played their arch rivals Queen Anne's High on December 16. Kent took an early lead, but was held in check for the 2nd half of the first quarter to fall behind. Close to the end of the half a dunk by Kent's Manny Camper excited the home crowd. While it took until near the end of the game for Kent County to make a complete comeback, they did win the game.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Electric Smokers' started by daveomak, Oct 13, 2012.
OK you guys have to stop tempting me with these deals. First Gary with the $95 grinder, now this great deal on an MES. I'm sitting in a hotel bored to death and now you guys got me shopping. I'm going to have to go find something to do so i don't spend a bunch of money!
DAMN! Just bought one of these on Monday and seasoning it as I type this. It was $145 last Sunday, I waited till Monday and it had gone up to $165 when I bought it. Now its back down to $149. Sucks to me right now LOL
Dave - look at it this way - we are showing you how to save a lot of $$
..... And the more you spend..... the more you save...... ....
But the more i save the more I spend!
Contact Amazon. They will price adjust for you.
I bought a MES 30 on Amazon on Oct 3 for $175. When a SMF member posted that Amazon had the same unit for $145 on Fri - Sat. My MES 30 had not shipped yet so I asked them to either adjust the price or cancel the order and I will would reorder at the reduced price. They agreed and re-billed at $145. Since Yours has already been delivered they might not be so accommodating.
But remember it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. Be firm, remind them how much business you have done with them. Talk to a supervisor. Save $20 and go buy a nice pork butt for your new smoker!
PS I'm also seasoning mine right now.
Amazon's posted policy:
I've bought from Amazon for a looong time. They used to post-order price match, but they stopped. They hold a hard line on it now.
But you can give it a try, can't hurt. Good luck.
By the way, the Amazon price history for Masterbuilt 20070910 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker, Black
gander mountain has them for the same price plus free shipping and they have a code for 20 dollars off over 100 dollars and the code ends today
The basic shipping is free at GM, but they charge a $20 additional shipping on this item (probably due to weight and size). The $20 off $100 or more code of GMH1008 is good today though (Just tried it). So the Gander Mountain deal is only $4 less than the Amazon if you order it today with the coupon code due to the additional shipping at GM.
Funny that it's on sale today. Mine seems to have just died. It will smoke for about 30-45 minutes, but then the reading says it is 300 degrees and shuts the element off.
I'm off to search about the issue and see if there's anything on it here.
jme, evening.... Sounds like a break in the thermocouple when the temp rises ??? Dave
Hi Dave, thank you for the reply (even though I hijacked the thread )
I drilled out the rivets and took the back panel off, and no burned wires or anything, so your theory sounds correct. I'll do a search here on that issue.
Thank you again,

Blooming Red is a poetry chapbook that explores the holiday season as you have experienced it, but rarely read about it. It's real, insightful, beautiful, sometimes intense poetry that cuts deep into the emotions, nostalgia, loss, love, greed and goodwill. There's nothing syrupy or overly mystical here, though there is plenty of wonder and mystery. It's Christmas poetry for the rational.
I, myself, have been privileged to read She Wore Emerald Then - a book that has a marvellous variety of poetry about what it means to be a mother (and a daughter). Maggie's poems in the book have a wonderful cosmic quality to them and, at times, combine both the sublime and commonplace, which had me smiling. Maggie is a very gifted wordsmith and has a brilliant understanding of the art of poetry. If you are looking for an unusual Christmas gift, then Blooming Red would most certainly suit the bill. Here are a few poems to whet your appetite!
Memory Trick
I wanted to manufacture a memory
knit with organic yarns of kid mohair, boucle, alpaca
in colours like blue sky, mulberry, ecru, lime
knubbly and pathological
wrought with nostalgia and wrung
through time's dryer
waving and flapping
cobblestones and chimney path
in the tired hours when your eyes
strain to bring back what you've lost.
A Christmas memory, perhaps
green scented and fresh
rosy cheeks, winter of course
though inside there's warmth, abundance,
fire and care.
Down deep
where the plaques and tangles of
dead brain cells
mix with the living
we click our needles
in sync
wrapping wool round godlike fingers
mixing reality with invention
until, there
before your startled eyes
the scarves and stockings
bright weaves
cashcotton history
soft, inflationary
so real, you touch it.
Carol to the Universe
Take down the tree
tinsel trash tidied
broken baubles swept
garbage bag wrappings
through greedhaze
glitter snowglobe
lights off
into the new
A carol to the universe
held in one breath
between motion
and inertia
kiss of the godless
earth mother lump
to her quantum
every tap of the keyboard
a newbie springs forth.
No need for
leather clad rulebooks
ark over flood
fatherly edicts
no sacrifices in blood
This is a rational zone
so many years on
