Join a high-tech treasure hunt in Oxfordshire's Arboretum
23 July 2013
Visitors to Harcourt Arboretum this summer will be able to take part in a high-tech treasure hunt by using GPS to find hidden boxes of puzzles around the beautiful 130 acre site.
Now in its fifth year, Quest, devised by the Institute of Physics (IOP), will be available from 24 July until 1 September at the University of Oxford's Harcourt Arboretum in Nuneham Courtenay, just outside Oxford.
Visitors to the Arboretum will use GPS units to guide them to hidden boxes, known as geocaches, containing fun, hands-on activities relating to trees and physics, which visitors can try out before tracking down the next geocache.
There will be two separate trails available for visitors to choose from: Express Quest, aimed at families with children aged 6 -11, and Puzzle Quest, aimed at older children and adults.
Express Quest activities involve decoding a secret message using coloured filters and making a paper helicopter. Puzzle Quest includes chatting over a tin can telephone and finding out how astronauts grow plants in space.
Quest will provide Arboretum visitors with a unique way to explore this beautiful site, with its range of trees, woods and meadows. GPS units will be available to borrow free of charge in exchange for a refundable deposit, although there is an entrance fee for the Arboretum.
Henry Lau, Outreach Officer at the IOP, said:
"Geocaching has become a really popular activity in recent years. Quest offers a great opportunity for people to find out more about both trees and physics in a really beautiful setting at what is shaping up to be a pleasant time of year."

This guide is to tell you how to use Popsloader, how to rip your PSX games, and how to convert your PSX games to PSP eboots. I hope you enjoy this guide, as I much as I enjoyed playing Final Fantasy 7 on my PSP.
PLEASE NOTE: The progam we are using is called RS-GUI PopStationMD v3.00 and that is because all other programs require an base eboot and keys.bin, and I do not wish to fandoogle with it and the issues around it. RS-GUI PopStationMD v3.00 does not require the said files.
ANOTHER NOTE: I use notes a lot in this guide, they just tell you what may/what i noticed.
A THIRD NOTE: I say .bin's for the entire guide, but you do not have to use .bin's, you can use .iso's or any other files you have.
A PSP with pops support. Most CFW has it, and I heard 6.20 TN-D also has it (or is supposed to). OFW WILL NOT WORK! Note: 6.20 TN-D may or may not work with this plugin.
A USB cable for said PSP
A computer
An internet connection to download files necesary for the guide
Somewhat of a brain (sorry Joostin)
Files that we are going to use
Extract each and every one of theese to a safe location, be sure you install imgburn, if not already on. There will be links when needed to download them, but you can download them now if you wish.
Imgburn, for ripping your games, of course
RS-GUI PopStationMD v3.00, for converting your psx rips into eboots! (comes with necessary .dll's now.)
Popsloader, to load almost every psx game possible! (disclaimer: A certain few do not work, and will not work. I am sorry Check here prior to starting the compatiblity list
Ripping your PSX games
Step one:
Download Imgburn, Install, then turn on Imgburn, and insert your PSX disk into your drive.
Step two:
-Now, click on the spot of image burn that says "Create image files from disk" it has a picture of a disk pointing to a file with a disc on it.
-Up top, pick the drive you inserted the disk into, incase you have more than one drive.
-In the label section, it should say the name of the disk you are going to rip.
-Go to "Destination" and click on the little folder with a magnifying glass, and pick somewhere that you can easily access.
-Now, click on the same icon you did to go to this option, to start the ripping process. It will take about 5-10 minutes.
Turning your .bin's into eboots!
NOTE: Before begining, you should take a look at the compatiblity list and see if it says to do anything special to your eboot.
Step one:
-Download RS-GUI PopStationMD v3.00, and extract it somewhere safe.
Step two:
-Turn on RS-GUI PopStationMD v3.00, and wait for further instruction.
NOTE: The rest will be done with a screen shot that I numbered. Then I will have the numbers, and a description of what they do.
Step Three:
-Click on the box that has the "3" its on the top, and it says "Settings".
-Go to number of CD's and check how many you are combining.
-For example, if did Final Fantasy 7, you picked "3".
Step Four:
-Go to the box with the "4" inside of it. Select "browse" and find your .bin, you may have troubles if you do not put all of the .bins in the right order, i have not tried, seems like wasted time to me.
Step Five:
-Now, look at the box that says "5". Click the giant box that says choose, and type in your game name, then click search.
-Find it on the list, and select it and press OK. (multi disk games have the same ID)
Step Six:
-Make sure each one of theese boxes say nine, it has no ill effects just makes your eboot smaller saving you save on your memory card
-If it doesn't say nine, make it say nine.
Step Seven:
-Select an output directory, select the box that says browse and pick a spot.
-NOTE: unless you change it in the settings, it will save JUST an eboot, no folder. Save it somewhere where you can find it.
Step Eight:
-Later addition. (not vital to anyone's importance, it makes your eboot look pretty on your XMB. It's pretty self explanitory once you click on it, it also will tell you what you need when you click on the help box.
Step Nine:
-Probably won't cover this, just make your doc's if you want to, it only allows pictures for it.
Step Ten:
-Click on the make box, and let it do its magic.
Step Eleven:
-Connect your PSP to your computer.
-View it, and go to PSP>GAME and then make a folder with the name of your game.
-Now copy the Eboot you just made, and place it in the folder you just made.
-NOTE: It may or may not play how it is installed right now, leave your PSP connected and go onto part three.
-Popsloader is a vital tool when it comes to playing PSX eboots.
Installing POPSloader
Step one:
-Download Popsloader easy installer.
-NOTE: We are using the installer, because it saves YOU a giant hassle, and it saves you 50% time downloading it then just a ZIP with the files, It saves you like 80% time then doing it the stock way.
Step two:
Run the installer, you can tell it to directly install to your PSP, just target it to the root of your PSP.
-However, you may also tell it you install somewhere else, and copy the required files.
-However you wish to do it, we are not responsible for lost files.
Step Three:
-You may now remove your PSP from the computer, make sure that POPSloader is activated in your recovery menu.
-If you are using TN-D make sure the text document that says POPS in the "seplugins" of your PSP has a "1" next to it.
-Those who do not have a POPS text document, create one, it should sayStep Four:Code:ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx 1
-Now you may load up your Eboot, and it will ask you for which POPS to use.
-Refer to the compatiblity list to pick which pops to use.
-Or you can test it out on your own, if you encounter a problem, go to home.
-Restart your game and while the game is turning on HOLD the RIGHT Trigger.
-Now, you can rechoose. Have FUN!
Whats this POPSLoader doohicky do?
Simple. Some version of OFW had integrated POPS support for the games downloaded on PSN. POPSLoader allows you to use all of the POPS from previous firmwares, that improved on anything. The long way to get POPSLoader to work is to extract each OFW and take the required POPS support out of them. I was lazy, so i found an alternative route to do it. I found to ways, one is download a folder with all of the POPS support in it, a 30mb download. The other way, used in this guide is a handy dandy installer that is only a 15mb download, saving you time.
I don't like the X of RS-GUI PopStationMD v3.00
There are other programs, but you need the base eboot, and keys.bin so i will not cover them, unless i get the go ahead. I have tried two others which are:
PSX2PSP have a really nice GUI, if you do theme mode.
Autopopsloader is all done through a command prompt, no nice GUI, and it is harder to use.
Thanks to:
This site for being cool.
Sony for making us this device capable of this magnitude of homebrew.
Dark-AleX for making popsloader and CFW (he made the original program to make PSX eboots, and possibly the plugin.)
Hellcat for his recovery flasher, without it my PSP would still be on TN-D
WhiteShad0wX for his guide on 6.XX PSP Guide Without it i would still have a PSP with OFW.
Members of Daedalus 64 IRC (the N64 emulator) for helping me all around in my PSP, specifically re4thewin, and their awesome emulator.
I tried to do it the old way once, it seemed so confusing, looking at the list of games and the OFW the game worked with. Needless to say, I never did get a psx game on my psp. Maybe this tutorial will help me. I have a dozen or so psx games that I ripped with IMGburn to test with WiiSX, I'll give this a try and let you know how it goes.
Hey I didn't see this pop up earlier. Thanks LiNkZoR. I tried to do this with my FF7 discs sometime last year and failed at it. If I can find them again I'll give this a go.
Maybe you guys would know, i picked the program i did because it did not require two files that some places say they cannot link. One of the programs that uses them is a little easier to use, but i did not know if i could include a DL with them. I didn't want people to go on a wild goosehunt to find two necesary files. Although some people may have errors with the .dll's ill beable to upload the program with them in it in a week or two.
Edit: The two files im talking about are the base.pbp and keys.bin
I might check this out. I don't know much about PSP's but a friend might sell his to me PSP-1001K to me for $50 - $65. Pretty good since I don't have to pay all those customs and shipping stuff. It's in great condition. Not sure how hackable it is. I'm guessing since it's old, it'll be pretty hackable.
Step Three: remove your PSP from the computer, make sure that POPSloader is activated in your recovery menu.
What exactly is the recovery menu mentioned here, and how do i make sure popsloader is activated in it.
(My psp is 6.60 and has prob10hen thanks to whiteshadowfoxs guide)

Pakistan and India have steadily increased their nuclear arsenal from 60-80 and 70-90 warheads in 2010, to 110-120 and 90-110 respectively by 2014, a new report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said on Monday.
According to the report, both Pakistan and India have not only been developing new systems capable of delivering nuclear weapons but also expanding their capacities to produce fissile material for military purposes.
The data compiled by the SIPRI shows that at the start of 2014, the nine nuclear armed states, namely United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea together possessed approximately 16 300, nuclear warheads, while the number of active/deployed nuclear weapons was around 4000.

SUGAR GROVE — Kane County animal control authorities say a kitten is now up for adoption, almost three weeks after it survived a 300-mile journey inside a semitrailer's air cleaner.
The black kitten is about four months old and has been named "EB," short for "engine block."
She was found late last month after a police officer pulled over the truck's driver for talking on a cellphone. The Sugar Grove officer heard the cat's meows and discovered the hitchhiking kitten clinging to the truck's air cleaner with all four paws.
The kitten was treated for ear mites, but hasn't shown any signs of hearing loss after spending time so close to the engine. The truck was traveling from Tomah, Wis.
Anyone interested in adopting the cat can call Kane County Animal Control.

Apple started pushing out iOS 6.1.1 for the iPhone 4S this afternoon. You can download it here.
Apparently the over-the-air update fixes some issues with 3G coverage in Europe. We haven't seen it pop up on the iPhone 5 or any other devices yet. However, since it seems to address a wireless connectivity issue, it's possible it's only for the 4S. We'll update when we know more. [TheNextWeb]

I always wondered how far microcredit actually helped alleviate the lives of the poor especially after the SKS Microfinance crisis in Andhra Pradesh. There has been a lot of criticism that this industry was full of profit motivated rather than socially focused players. So, I always wanted to understand what would make micro finance perform stronger socially.The reason I say my fellowship was rewarding is because I had all these questions answered through my eyes and ears in the process of being Kiva's Eyes and Ears on field.
Two weeks back I was juggling between profile posting, field visits, group photos, and field staff training. Amidst this time crunch phase, a visit to the local weekly market came as liberation. It was so colorful and vibrant may be because 40% of the vendors were women selling vegetables, bangles, local snacks, cooking utensils etc…
The aromas(including of stinking dry fish), haggling noises and people around did not irritate me somehow.Seemed like a perfect recipe for a break. Every 2 shops that we passed by, the branch manager would introduce me to some woman telling me that she is their client and started/grew their business with a financial support from them.
It is when I met people like Lalitha and Bijaya Lakshmi that I started wondering about their livelihood in the absence of microfinance. Would they have had help from traditional banks?
Could Lalitha have started a vegetable business without the intervention of Mahashakti; one of Kiva's Indian partners with a strong social focus…? Lalitha was selling vegetables in the market. She started selling vegetables with the help of a micro loan to supplement her husband's income who works as a daily labor in the paddy fields. The additional income has actually helped them move from a mud house to a concrete house. In the photo she holds some drumsticks(moringa) which she saved from her merchandise to cook for her daughter who loves the curry.
As I walked through the stretch of canvas of colors and aromas , I met several other women who were happy to have received a loan and felt empowered through their business.
Or would Bijayalakshmi and her husband have been able to sustain their livelihood without financial support in the form of microcredit..? I went to meet her as we were going to post her loan on Kiva. She spends almost 10hrs a day making local snacks and her husband sells them the next day. They are both in their fifties and have no sons to take care of them in their old age as any other parent who has crossed 50s would have been in India. When I asked her about being on internet, she answered with her infectious smile and energy "I am happy to let people know how hard we are working. This may motivate others to work hard and create opportunities for themselves". I had nothing to say but be amazed.
But all microfinance clients do not have a success story to share. If it were so, we would not have had those suicides in Andhra Pradesh and MFI industry in India would not be in such a crisis today. So, I thought to myself may be all of microfinance is not good or all of it is not bad. I was reminded of the "half glass" paradox.
Back in my room in the evening I was wondering how MFIs should evolve their model to not let the critics undervalue microfinance by half its potential. It finally dawns on me that MFIs should look for holistic solutions to poverty and provide innovative services by understanding the needs of the customers like any other industry and not just focus on micro credit.
I learnt from my interactions here that more than 40% of a household annual income is spent for health and it plays a major role in repaying the loan. So, health should be one major area of focus for the MFIs. Some of the MFIs in India like one of Kiva's Indian partners Mahashakti have now started providing health based initiatives like micro insurance, credit support for safe drinking water, water and sanitation loans etc… As one of Mahashakti's management staff puts it "Providing basic needs first and then lending builds a stronger bond and trust between the MFIs and the borrowers." I think this trusted relation is essential for any MFI's sustained impact and survival in their strive for the creation of economic independence.
These client focused initiatives are implemented only by 5% of all MFIs in India and need to be more wide spread. It is very encouraging to see this shift in the MFI model in India though and hope to see many more moving in this direction.It is good to see Kiva also increase its focus beyond traditional microfinance and work with such partners.

Solo: A James Bond Novel (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Out of Print (call or email to check availability of used copies)
It's 1969, and, having just celebrated his forty-fifth birthday, James Bond—British special agent 007—is summoned to headquarters to receive an unusual assignment. Zanzarim, a troubled West African nation, is being ravaged by a bitter civil war, and M directs Bond to quash the rebels threatening the established regime.
Bond's arrival in Africa marks the start of a feverish mission to discover the forces behind this brutal war—and he soon realizes the situation is far from straightforward. Piece by piece, Bond uncovers the real cause of the violence in Zanzarim, revealing a twisting conspiracy that extends further than he ever imagined.
Moving from rebel battlefields in West Africa to the closed doors of intelligence offices in London and Washington, this novel is at once a gripping thriller, a tensely plotted story full of memorable characters and breathtaking twists, and a masterful study of power and how it is wielded—a brilliant addition to the James Bond canon.
About the Author
William Boyd is also the author of A Good Man in Africa, winner of the Whitbread Award and the Somerset Maugham Award; An Ice-Cream War, winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys War Prize and short-listed for the Booker Prize; Brazzaville Beach, winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; Restless, winner of the Costa Novel of the Year; Ordinary Thunderstorms; and Waiting for Sunrise, among other books. He lives in London.
Praise For…
"Solo never fails to keep the reader on the edge of his chair. . . . Boyd is a brilliant storyteller and the interwoven plots and surprises of Solo are often superior to Fleming's own narrative stunts."
— The Daily Beast
"A light, slick, sinuous adventure. . . . Though Boyd's iteration of the character owes something to Graham Greene's moral melancholy, Fleming's Bond remains recognizable. So does the excellent pacing: Solo feels so quick that it could already be a movie."
— USA Today
"Boyd has immersed himself in the character, the author and his oeuvre and come up with an adventure that's triumphantly the equal of the great Bond adventures. . . . A brilliant imitation that's occasionally superior to the prototype."
— Robert McCrum, The Guardian
"Boyd brings back the real Bond, triumphantly. . . . A formidable literary achievement. . . . It succeeds wonderfully."
— The Daily Mail
"A perfectly judged narrative tempo . . . . The action is expertly plotted. . . . Solo's true literary craft lies in the subtlety of its correspondences and also the suspenseful quality that keeps us on our toes until the closing pages. Mission accomplished."
— The Financial Times
"Breathtaking. . . . Boyd manages to enrich and refresh a character we thought we knew too well. . . . A terrific twisting thriller. . . . A tremendous Bond story."
— The Sunday Times
"A compulsively readable thriller, replicating the cocktail of ingredients that got Fleming's readers hooked and yet to let the cracks in the fantasy figure show through. A thoroughly rewarding, entertaining and ultimately thought provoking fix."
"More than half a century on, Boyd proves that there are plenty of pages left in 007's passport. I doubt his creator could have done it better."
— Olen Steinhauer, The New York Times Book Review
"An exhilarating tightrope of a tale that's also just retro enough to conjure the original books. . . . Boyd adroitly captures the postcolonial atmosphere of West Africa with a Graham Greene-like eye for detail. . . . Boyd has rendered his Bond perfectly."
— Valerie Plame, O magazine
"The prose of Boyd is frankly superior to that of Fleming. . . . A bloody good thriller. A triumph."
— The Observer
"Solo includes faint echoes of Joseph Conrad, whose stories of adventure, intrigue and espionage are deeply infused with a sense of moral inquiry and consequence. . . . A Bond novel but also a Boyd one, with richer and deeper concerns coursing alongside the Flemingesque flourishes that should keep fans satisfied, as well."
— The Washington Post
"William Boyd understands his man very well. . . . This is Bond done right."
— The Atlantic
"Boyd's prose is crisp and clean, and the story fairly ricochets through its twists and turns as Bond zips from London to Africa and on to the US. Fans of the original Fleming novels will find much to enjoy."
— The Irish Times

Sun Microsystems has released verison 3.0 of its VirtualBox high-performance, cross-platform virtualization software. Version 3.0 expands existing capabilities, such as the amount of virtual RAM supported by guests (i.e., 16GB for the Mac OS X version), and its support for both 32-bit and 64-bit guests on 32-bit or 64-bit hosts (even 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts).
The big news of this releases is symmetrical multi-processing (SMP) support. VirtualBox now supports guests with multiple virtual CPUs, with up to 32 per guest. In essence, a virtual CPU equates to a thread within VirtualBox. With more actual CPUs/cores available on the host, the more parallel processing occurs within the guest OS in VirtualBox. This lets consumers accommodate heavy workloads on their guest operating systems. In fact, VirtualBox 3.0 supports more virtual CPUs than actual CPUs/cores installed on the host computer. For example, Figure 1 shows Hall's dual-core Mac running Windows with four virtual CPUs, and Ubuntu Linux with two virtual CPUs, side-by-side. Use cases for this involve local testing on less-capable hardware for later deployment into a data center.
The second big enhancement is around the management of VMs. This includes deploying, starting, stopping, and so on, of virtual machines within a network or data center. Additionally, remote access to guests and their VM images is needed. With VirtualBox 3.0, the APIs and SDK have been enhanced to easily support this.
In fact, Sun has been working with others to unify the various open-source offerings already available for VirtualBox management. As an example, look at the code.google.com project for web based management tools for VirtualBox. All of this aggregation and development is being done in the open, with Python on back end, and browser-based access to VMs running within VirtualBox. As a result, there is no need to install a client (such as VNC), but instead a browser-based console is offered. This is similar to Sun's Secure Global Desktop (SGD) software, and indeed the SGD team has helped the VirtualBox team add these features since Sun's acquisition.
Other enhancements include:
- Enhanced support for the Open Virtualization Format, which improves VirtualBox when used on the desktop
- Support for the latest Direct3D for Windows hosts/guests
- OpenGL 2.0 support. Guest OSs can take advantage of host graphics acceleration and the OpenGL 2.0 APIs. Previously, version OpenGL 1.5 was supported.
- Enhanced USB device support
Dr. Dobb's spoke with Andy Hall, Product Manager of VirtualBox at Sun, about VirtualBox 3.0. According to Hall:
- VirtualBox downloads have increased from a total of 7 million in December 2008 to over 14 million as of this month. That's 100% growth in only six months.
- This amounts to about 20,000 downloads per day
- There are currently over 4 million registered VirtualBox users (not everyone who downloads and uses VirtualBox registers).
When asked what can explain the sudden acceleration in downloads and growth in VirtualBox popularity, Hall said it has to do with two things, mainly. First, the exposure and marketing resulting from the Sun acquisition has helped a lot. Second, users are quickly realizing that VirtualBox is very useful at augmenting existing desktop and laptop systems instead of being useful only on servers in a data center, as other virtualization platforms generally are. In other words, by remaining lightweight, flexible, and agile, VirtualBox goes one step beyond other virtualization solutions and works well on a user's main system to help in the development, testing, and deployment of software systems. This is all part of Sun's plan to support open, heterogeneous, systems.
To freely download and install VirtualBox for your host platform, go here.

About Fleas:
For every flea that lives on your cat or dog there will be 99 more starting to develop in your carpet and at some point in their lives you animal will suffer an infestation.
Their saliva is considered to be one of the most allergenic substances as it can cause a skin disease in pets which is called Flea Allergic Dermatitis (FAD) Also when fleas bite they take in blood and if the infestation is severe it could cause anaemia in puppies and kittens or even death.
Fleas can live between 7 and 14 days and will divide their time between living on your pet to feed and returning to your carpet to lay more eggs and this happens every day. The larvae then get's buried into carpets and upholstery and can lay dormant for several months. When the adults sense warmth and vibrations they will jump onto your pet and start the cycle over again.
Spotting Fleas:
The most obvious sign of fleas will be that your pet is continuously scratching, you should also be able to see them in the fur of your pets, they are dark brown in colour and are approximately 1 – 2mm long, you should also find tiny black specks of flea dirt on your pet just under their fur. The height of the summer is when fleas are most rife; however they can be just as bad in the winter if you have a warm central heated home.
The winter time is the best time to de-flea your pet and just before the beginning of the summer. A continuous de-fleaing of your pet will keep them to a minimum.

Ring in 2013 with healthy exercise and a glimpse of nature's winter beauty by participating in a First Day Hike.
Ring in 2013 with healthy exercise and a glimpse of nature's winter beauty by participating in a First Day Hike.
First Day Hikes have been offered for 20 years as part of a national effort organized by the National Association of State Park Directors. Launched in Newton, Mass., state involvement has grown to the point where, for the first time in 2012, all 50 state park systems are participating.
Locally, hikes are offered at Promised Land State Park in Pike County and also at these Pennsylvania state parks: Bald Eagle, Black Moshannon, Leonard Harrison, Kinzua Bridge, Ohiopyle, Moraine, Raccoon Creek, Pymatuning, Keystone, Kings Gap Environmental Education Center, Canoe Creek, Lackawanna, Nescopeck, Nolde Forest Environmental Education Center, Marsh Creek, French Creek and Delaware Canal.
The hikes have been selected to draw both novices and trail-hardened veterans.
Pennsylvania state park staff and volunteers will lead the hikes, which are usually less than two miles but can be longer depending on the park and its terrain. Details about hike locations, difficulty, length, terrain and tips regarding proper clothing are listed on americasstateparks.org.
"Last year, we hosted more than 14,000 people who hiked more than 30,000 miles in our state parks across the country when we launched America's State Parks First Day Hikes on New Year's Day 2012 in all 50 states," said Priscilla Geigis of the National Association of State Park Directors.

This blockbuster roster includes executives from companies such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, EOG Resources, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66, Devon Energy and more.
In a $2.1 billion dollar transaction earlier this year, Sanchez Energy grew its position in the Eagle Ford to 335,000 net acres producing 76,000 BOE/d. Sanchez's acquisition is just one of many industry-leading deals reviewed at the A&D Strategies and Opportunities conference and workshop in Dallas, TX September 6-7.
Executives from leading producers, including Antero Resources, Occidental, Rice Energy, and Consol Energy, will join top industry experts targeted presentations at the DUG East conference and exhibition in Pittsburgh, June 20-22.
Hart Energy's 2017 DUG Permian Basin conference and exhibition provided ample evidence that industry producers are indeed "doubling-down on the Permian". Attendance at the annual conference in Fort Worth, Texas, surged 30% above its 2016 crowd as recovering commodity prices and strict cost controls restored confidence and profitability in the country's most active oil and gas province.

Head coach Laura Campbell has added Gina Riitano to the Central Connecticut women's lacrosse staff as an assistant coach. Riitano brings years of experience as a player and club coach to the Blue Devil staff.
"I am very excited to have Gina join the staff for my first season at CCSU," Campbell said. "Gina and I played together at American University, which gives us similar expectations of what our lacrosse program should look like on and off the field. Plus Gina's experience at the club level and her tireless work ethic will be a boost to our recruiting efforts."
"I would like to thank Director of Athletics Paul Schlickmann and head coach Laura Campbell for this opportunity, it is truly an honor to be a part of this university and program," Riitano said. "Laura is a former teammate, respected collegiate coach and remarkable leader. I am excited to work under her as we strive to continue the success of the Blue Devil women's lacrosse program."
Riitano only played two seasons of lacrosse at American University, but she left a lasting mark. As a sophomore, she helped the team to a Patriot League Championship and earned First Team All-Patriot League recognition. She was also her team's Most Valuable Player that season. Riitano's 62 points (44 goals, 18 assists) that year set the American University single-season record.
In addition, as a freshman Riitano was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection.
Following her sophomore year Riitano transferred to Syracuse University where she finished her lacrosse career under head coach Lisa Miller.
Following her collegiate playing career Riitano stayed active in lacrosse in various ways while also pursuing a career outside of athletics.
Riitano's most recent coaching position was as the coach of the Upstate New York Girls at the 2013 Under Armour All-America Lacrosse. She also spent a season at the collegiate club level leading the Boston College women's lacrosse club. In addition, Riitano has spent time working with clubs such as Wildcat Elite Club, Washington Capital Club and the X-Team.
Riitano has also found ways to be a part of lacrosse outside of coaching. She most recently worked as a technical representative for Under Armour Lacrosse and previously worked as a team sales consultant for Breakaway Sports, as well as being a program manager for WomensLax.com.
In 2012, Riitano was inducted into the Albany Academy for Girls Athletics Hall of Fame. Riitano was a three sport athlete and Academic All-American when she attended Albany Academy for Girls. She is currently an active member of her alma mater's alumni council.

The Latest in Pool Water Filtration………Moss!
by Myles McMorrow, October 11, 2009
MOSS in POOLS?!? Yes, moss. Not the green stuff that grows on trees - this is Sphagnum moss.
It can be found in the northern USA and grows wild in wet, boggy areas.
Sphagnum moss, over thousands of years, will turn into peat deposits, known as peat moss.
But how and when did people start using it to filter pool and spa water? As the story goes, a guy in Minnesota with a hot tub always wondered why the lakes up north are so crystal clear. He looked to the ecosystem and thought it must be the moss that grows around the water and acts like a filter. He took some moss and put it into the filter chamber in his hot tub and within 24 hours it was the clearest it has ever been. He was on to something.
Our ancestors would wrap freshly trapped fish or meat in sphagnum moss to preserve it until they could return home. Recently, an "ice age" man in Europe was found frozen in a glacier. Upon examination, it was noted that he had an injury that was packed with sphagnum moss. As recently as World War I moss was used to protect open wounds from festering with disease while waiting for proper treatment. Those soldiers who were fortunate enough to be "treated" with the sphagnum moss had significantly less occurrence of medical maladies than their "untreated" comrades. Today, certain wounds care centers around the world utilize this type of moss to successfully treat "non-healing" wounds.
After lab testing it was found that it not only filters and kills bacteria, but Sphagnum Moss was also found to have the ability to break down biofilm. Biofilm is what chlorine breaks down as it sanitizes pool water. If you have a hot tub, it is the slime that gathers on surfaces. By breaking down the biofilm you need a lot less sanitizer in the body of water . It will make the water cleaner with less chems and is environmentally friendly, and when the moss is used up you can compost it in your garden.
Now available for pools and spas is a feeder chamber you place moss into and run your pool water through it. The moss comes in large packets much like a tea bag that you just put into the canister. Many commercial pools are running these systems to cut costs associated with chlorine use. New patented products such as the patented PoolNaturally™ and SpaNaturally™ use eco-friendly, eco-processed sphagnum moss in disposable, consumer friendly pouches to remove biofilms and prevent biofilms.
Studies are further showing that pool water treated with sphagnum moss stays better balanced (natural buffers are present in the moss) and is "gentler" for swimmers. PoolNaturally™ sphagnum moss pouches are replaced on a monthly basis for optimal effect. Sphagnum moss products work with all chlorine, bromine, salt systems, and ionizers but are NOT compatible with biguanide products such as BioGuard® Soft Swim® or Arch Chemicals® Baquacil®.
Just another way your pool can operate with alternative sanitizers and purification methods.

BRISTOL — The Addison Northeast Supervisory Union Executive Committee at a special meeting Thursday pledged to address what it characterized as a "deteriorated environment" in the district's six schools.
"The committee recognizes the need for an immediate assessment of current conditions," the committee said in a prepared statement.
BRISTOL — Voters in the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union rejected two of the three school budgets up for consideration Tuesday. It is the latest chapter in a tumultuous spring for the district, which has also seen a citizens petition calling for the removal of the superintendent and a near-unanimous vote of no confidence in his leadership by the teachers' union.
Residents rejected spending plans for Mount Abraham Union High School by a tally of 755 to 485, and Bristol Elementary School, 224 to 166.
BRISTOL — Voters in the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union rejected two of the three school budgets up for consideration Tuesday.
Monkton voters approved the budget for Monkton Central School by a narrow margin, 158 to 132.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on April 8 resoundingly endorsed their graded school budget, then elected to change the date and method of voting for future Mary Hogan Elementary School spending plans.
BRISTOL — Bristol residents on Tuesday will cast ballots on a new Bristol Elementary School spending plan for next year that shaves a fraction of a percent off the proposal they defeated on Town Meeting Day. But despite asking for $2,700 less in spending, the new budget would restore some instructional positions targeted to be cut by reducing spending in other areas.

MIDDLEBURY — The ID-4 school board on Monday evening decided not to endorse two proposals that would change the date of the district's annual meeting and switch the method of voting on the Mary Hogan School budget to Australian ballot.
But proponents of the changes vowed afterward to make the questions articles to be considered at the annual ID-4 meeting in April via citizens' petitions.
LINCOLN — An ad hoc committee of residents appointed by the Lincoln selectboard will meet Wednesday to finalize a recommendation to the board on how to proceed with building a new town office building.
The committee has been working since September on the proposal, and will meet on Jan. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the present town office.
Selectman Bill Finger said the town has had discussions about replacing the 45-year-old town office building since 2009. He said the growth of the town has rendered the structure too small.

Quickly following on the heels of leaked renders of two new colors of the Galaxy Note 2, we've got some real hands-on images of the Amber Brown version of the device. The device seems to be all the same as the other Note 2 varieties, but now covered in a deep brown color. This is probably going to be a bit of a polarizing color -- either love it or hate it -- if we have to be honest, but more options are always better. This model is a Japanese version for the carrier NTT Docomo but it's feasible that we could see this color, along with the new "Ruby Wine" (aka red) color, come to other markets also.
We've got one more look at the device for you after the break. The source link below has several more with pictures of the box, accessories and color-matched brown flip cover as well.

The ability to produce 300-bu. corn rests on seven factors, according to Fred Below, professor of plant physiology at the University of Illinois. Below saw his first field of 300-bu. corn 25 years ago and has since studied the factors that contribute most to high-yielding corn. Here is Below's list, which he calls the "Seven wonders of high-yield corn production," starting with the ones that affect corn yield the most.
1. Weather
Weather is the biggest factor affecting crop yield. Below says that on its own, weather will add or subtract 70 bu./acre or more.
2. Nitrogen
Nitrogen applied correctly has the potential to affect corn yield almost as much as the weather, Below maintains. Combined, nitrogen and weather account for more than half of a corn crop's yield. Also important in producing high-yield corn is a complete fertility package, including potassium and phosphorus, which are often left out of standard corn production. Below puts a 70-bu./acre impact on this factor.
3. Hybrid selection
The most important decision a grower can make is what hybrid to select, especially now that seed contains more new biotech traits, which create major yield differences among hybrids. Below theorizes that by removing the damage caused by insects, plants are more able to reach their full growth potential. He suggests a 50-bu./acre difference in yield due to hybrid selection.
4. Previous crop
If corn is grown after corn, there is a yield penalty of about 25 bu./acre, unless the weather cooperates, Below says. If the weather is not ideal, then the high levels of corn residue will tie up nitrogen and create smaller plants and smaller ears. Rotating corn with soybean crops will alleviate this problem. Below says his research found that yield penalty gets worse each year of continuous corn.
5. Plant population
Below says most farmers give up some yield because they do not plant populations that are high enough for their 30-in. rows. Other ways to increase plant populations is to switch from 30-in. to 20- or 15-in. rows. Because this requires a major equipment investment, Below is researching twin rows on 7½-in. centers with plants staggered. Under this system, plants are 7 ½ in. away from other plants, which reduces competition for nutrients. This system requires a planter change. Below gives plant population a 20-bu./acre yield factor.
6. Tillage
Tillage does not affect yield as much as farmers think. But it is a big factor in saving soil. Tillage has a 15-bu./acre impact.
7. Growth regulators
Below calls this his catch-all category because it includes packaging five independent factors that affect corn yield into one: fungicide to protect a high-performing corn crop; a triple-stack hybrid; 45,000 plant population/acre; extra phosphate, sulfur and zinc to support high-performing hybrids; and a stabilized nitrogen product. He gives this category a 10-bu./acre advantage.

All in all, the placement is entirely staggering an all audiences, so categorically crack at it out. It to be gets ThePornDude's seal of approval.
Any earnest pornoholic has beyond a at least heard of the tube install known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm amenable to wager, accord fapped to it on more than a occasion. In place of some of you, it muscle metrical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the circumstance , you are certainly not alone. In as a matter of actual fact , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster moment adequately to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Focal point , it is the third most hot smutty install on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 sooner than Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the install wanted to do something abundant from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming touched in the head of the culmination acceptance of group media sites like Facebook and Giggle , xHamsters founders coagulate loose to submit a put that was proficient parts porn tube and xxx group media site. A spokesperson quest of the situate said of xHamster's intentions that the placement was meant suited people who wanted to small talk , truck aphrodisiac pics and share out bungling videos ... to lay one's hands on interactive friends online and peradventure conniving partners interested in personal relationships." I impression it is equitable to suggest that x Hamster has done a bang-up project of providing the cadre that they differentiate b reserve in to catch , as it has thrive a cornucopia of unpaid and homemade user-uploaded content. As indubitably as the " search partners interested in unvarying relationships" say is active , in , I cannot metaphorically speaking a to. I arrange under the aegis felt the difficulty to refuge to a porn orientation to finish my " scheming relationships," but I am truly odd to be versed if anyone's a had any serendipity with that face of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratified , nonetheless , confrontation is resolved to upshot sooner or later. With the add up of people missing there in the coterie who are airsick fucks—not not fucks who drop all era fapping in their mothers' basements the path you are a off fuck, I'm talking true , clinically adversely preservationist fucks—a locality like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they indigence was forced to suited inundated with felonious and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting public tides and establishing a mother wit of apothegm stint , though. In April of 2016, looking exempli gratia , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to outright proclivity against members of the LGBT community. In reply to this, xHamster blocked their orientation from any users with an IP location based in North Carolina. You capability also recall hearing encircling the People V. Turner genital aggressiveness case. To avoid vendetta the growing extrusion of ravaging good breeding in America, xHamster banned all videos involving deflowering , including those which featured the fucking of automatic partners. Their community and state involvements don't conclude there, though. At all of my deprecating favorite factional statements that they made came in reaction to the 2016 Representative Inhabitant Panel email disclose , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to notability in a porno conflicting a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You be versed , since she already fucked him touched in the head of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't specialize what is. The Locale Itself Of , xHamster has made totally a rank since themselves in their rather squat age of circumstance as a xxx community media/porn tube. But does the neighbourhood itself confine up to all the hype? Good fettle , withdraw 's agree to a look. From the coruscate you be heir to at xHamster's people's call for , it is unsympathetic not to be impressed by means of how uncomplicated and undemanding to handle the network connivance is. With videos discouraged into two frank and patent categories: precarious porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also freely sift during most qualified as opposed to of newest and past scope (which is a large aspect , in the homemade videos, pursue some as a result of , be undergoing to be significantly shorter in era ). To your socialistic , you can conclusively pass search results not later than listing , narrows , or porn shooting on plainly clicking on it. You can also band tags together with a particular click—a different memorable part that, someway , is glaringly missing from a a of tube sites that I've browsed. Their gifted studio pleasure appears meticulous alongside their teeming archive of homemade compensation , unless you detail otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you alone dream unemotional , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't show favour at all in your hedonism, after all , you can again rot all three. The most annoying obsession that they added was a hardcoded watermark on chief of the videos. It on categorically messes with your fap trial , when you're to to mull a geezer jizz on a chick's insolent and then...BOOM! That be watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's alteration like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever small amount it was a ok awareness deserves a boot in the balls! As immeasurably as xHamster's collective media components are solicitous , you sooner a be wearing all the routine community-oriented features that you'd be in to on other interchangeable sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can elucidation on/rate videos, augment videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Only thingumajig that in sets xHamster one by one from the others, if , is that, when you click on their lappet labeled "dating," you are not brought to some perfunctory third-party scam " negotiate laid tonight" of how fucked up the If you're looking as something a hulking (and I the aegis big ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com influence be the in you. I'm talking quite 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each period containing in every 360 videos. Nowadays math was not my active but I depict that adds up to a majestic infant of more 20 million videos! In the the inside that Video-one is adding hip theme every era compensate the loneliest, horniest fappers bull's-eye us would in no leaf far of stuff on this tube site. From the mo you reach to video-one.com ( period true you don't over the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting patient ), you are talk up in the halfwitted of all that the milieu has to offer. At the head of the foot-boy crave 50 or so suggested categories to out from (" mate " " superfluous miniature " "caught burglary ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to big a two ). Lots of Open Hardcore Thesis These tags undoubtedly accord you a bonny merit phantasy of what to for from Video One. Another at to halt an awareness of the resolve of constituents they subdue is to container a look at what sites they constituent to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should of you is that a primacy of the gladden pass on be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You sway describe a raffle of it Gonzo. I to eat the qualifications "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Day-bed Feign Ride and Asian Boulevard Meat. Granted, Video-One does should the extra HD studio video thrown in here and there, the the greater of their cheerful if not full-on homemade, is from a of these studios that specializes in tender content. Be Meticulous What You Click On Video-One also seems to attendance to the demographic of pornophiles who fondness the more taboo category stop —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Start at least I conviction it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from without recognized, respectable studios, but a obedient morsel of them look to be most homemade and are tagged with things like " Veritable Sister." I take no type of verifying whether or not these videos are actually proscribed or not. I steady as underworld ain't clicking on that shit. I desire that you troubled incestuous fucks would run-around the fuck away from the constitutional web. Thrust to the gloom web seeking vomit-provoking shit like that. Furthermore, I surely reverie tube sites like Video-One should contract a adamantine belt in the sand against interdicted tranquillity like this. Trusty if these aren't be realized incest videos, why coextensive with to that they power be? Anything tagged with something like " Actual Sister" should be at the removed from your site.

Having said that, be systematic what you click on if you act to look in on this site. If you're okay with sifting at the potentially prohibited volume there is a allocation of legit, just stuff here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking mountainous amount of it. Principled to ornament I was on the place in 10 minutes in the stimulation the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 supplementary videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll not in any junket absent of videos to on from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Obscenity The milieu itself is designed tuneful yell Either As progress as ads are involved there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the buttocks of pages.

How on , rate you do out to them, there are shit load. No ads in the forefront videos, though. You upon ass into the periodic pop-up, young tag ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking even you click on something like it is on a loads of other sites. I would evidently proffer nil , but if I beget to search in them, then I imagine these ads are pretty excusable. Also the maturity of the on-page ads are the other tube sites (which is totally handy if you be without to the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the late loop pop-ups were frequently pages that were unequipped to encumbrance in publication mode. I'm not unavoidable scrupulously what this means, but if I can't brood the ad, I'm happy. A Lone Gather to Engagement In You Urge Second to Fappin' To be principled I am fact turned dotty close the potentially proscribed felicity to be about on Video-One.

Awesome to see someone else trying it out :D
I am a British modder currently living in Oxford. I am also currently attending the Oxford Cherwell Valley College. I've been modding from quite a young age and have been able to build up my skills quite significantly over the years. I am a modeller, coder and mapper. I primarily focus on organic modelling but I can do some hard surface as well. I'm also a voice actor. I own a SAMSON C01U Studio Condenser microphone which has little to no room noise. I have voice acted on a few projects in the past however I do wish to expand my list of voice work. If you want me to help out on your mod or game project, just give me a ring on skype or steam and we'll talk there. I don't always join projects for free as I do not have huge amounts of free time, however I will voice act for free as I do enjoy doing it and it's not as time consuming as the other jobs. Thank you very much for reading my Profile Bio. - Alfred

In a sea of smartphones, tablets, and laptops it can be difficult for a brick-and-mortar pet retailer to lure people away from their screens and into a physical store. Many independent pet stores feel that they can no longer compete with online giants such as Amazon. However, a recent study by Google found that 93% of commerce is still taking place in-store. The customers are there, it's simply a matter of finding ways to draw them into your store.
Below are 7 ways in which your pet store can increase and improve in-store traffic:
1. Keep In Touch With Customers
Keeping in touch with your customers is key when trying to attract return customers. Update your social media accounts regularly with information about what's going on in the store, new stock arrivals and helpful recommendations. This will keep your pet store fresh in the customer's mind and prompt them to visit your store when they need to make their next purchase.
Create a mailing list and use it to reach out to your customers on a personal level. Make sure that your subject line is engaging and will prompt them to continue reading.
2. Appear Online, Sell Offline
With people spending so much of their time online it's crucial for your pet store to have a robust web presence. Having a live catalog of your in-stock products online not only helps drive new customers to your store but also lets your existing customers check what you have in stock, prompting them to return to your store. Pawtrero use Pointy to bring their catalogues online. You can check out their store on Pointy here.
3. Lure Passing Shoppers With Eye-Catching Displays
An eye-catching exterior can have a huge impact on a customer's impression of your store. An attractive window display will invite people in, instil curiosity and encourage impulse sales. Give the walls a fresh coat of paint, polish up your storefront sign and you'll start to see footfall increase.
4. Happy Employees = Happy Customers
You've probably visited a store at some point where the member of staff was rude or uninterested in helping you with your purchase. Experiences like this can leave a bad impression and completely change a customer's opinion of your store.
Building a relationship with your employees and making them feel valued will have a very positive impact on their interactions with customers. Make your staff feel good and they'll transfer this feeling over to your customers.
5. Get Found On Google
For most pet stores, even if someone 50 yards away is searching for a product they have in stock, the search results look like this:
Pointy helps solve this problem. As soon as you plug a Pointy box in, we'll build a page online with all your products. This means that, for local searches, the results will look more like this result from our client, Pet Stop:
This ensures that people who are searching for your products nearby can find them, and drives them directly to your store from these searches.
6. Service With A Smile
One major advantage that brick-and-mortar pet store have over online retailers is their ability to build personal relationships with their customers. Little touches like remembering people's names and giving helpful recommendations on purchases will make your customers feel valued and encourage repeat visits.
7. Give Back To The Community
Engaging with your local community is a key activity that will differentiate you from large, faceless corporations. Sponsoring local events, stocking locally produced pet products and collaborating with other businesses within the community are just a few simple but highly effective ways to engage with your local audience.
Word of mouth is an extremely powerful tool when it comes to increasing footfall in your store. Focusing your efforts on getting to know your customers and building relationships with them will result in a loyal community of buyers over time.
Pointy is a little box that you plug into your scanner that automatically builds an online store of all your products. Click here to learn more about how your store can use Pointy to drive more customers and get found online.

What is Magnet Wire?
Magnet wire is an insulated electrical conductor, most commonly copper or aluminum that when wound into a coil and energized creates a useful electrical field. Electricity is essentially useless without magnet wire. 90% of all electrical energy requires modification through the use of a magnet to be of use.
The primary end users of magnet wire products include the automotive, ballast, motor, generator, and transformer industries.
NEMA MW 1000, Magnet Wire
The primary driver of the Magnet Wire Section is its technical work. The Section's Technical Committee is responsible for the development and maintenance of ANSI/NEMA MW 1000, Magnet Wire. Committee members strive to make NEMA MW 1000 technically accurate, editorially error free, and recognized throughout the world as the premier standard for the construction and testing of magnet wire and magnet wire packaging.
A wealth of information on this standard can be found at the MW 1000 homepage, including how to best use it, and a summary of revisions that have been made to the current edition and the rationale for each revision.
MW 1000-2016 is available for purchase in hard copy, pdf or on CD-ROM. It supersedes the 2015 edition.
Relevant Standards and Publications:
NEMA standards and publications relevant to the magnet wire industry include:
ANSI/MW 1000-2016Magnet Wire
MW 785-2001 (Reaffirmed through 2016, to be revised in 2017)Simulated Insertion Test for Film Insulated Round Magnet Wire
MW 765-2003 (Reaffirmed through 2018)Reclaiming of Magnet Wire Packaging
MW 750-2014Dynamic Coefficient of Friction of Film Insulated Magnet Wire
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC):
TC 55 met most recently on October 7, 2016 in conjunction with the IEC General Meeting in Frankfurt. The next meeting is scheduled for 2019 in conjunction with the IEC General Meeting in China.
TC 55 Working Group 1, Specification sheets, is responsible for developing and maintaining specifications and test procedures for winding wires. It last met on October 7, 2016 in Frankfurt and will meet in fall, 2017 in Madrid and in fall, 2018 in Las Vegas.
TC 55 Working Group 2, Winding wire spools, is responsible for developing and maintaining specifications for winding wire delivery spool dimensions and test methods.
Currently, the United States National Committee (USNC) to the IEC holds the Secretariat for TC 55. The Magnet Wire Section funds NEMA staff to fulfill the day-to-day Secretarial responsibilities. The Section also funds US Delegate representation at IEC TC 55 meetings, and US Expert attendance at WG1 meetings.
NEMA also holds the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) Secretariat to TC 55. This TAG serves as the mechanism for establishing US positions on TC 55 standards actions.
American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM International)NEMA periodically considers adopting ASTM test procedures critical for determining compliance with magnet wire product performance requirements, given the disbanding of the ASTM D 9.10 subcommittee for magnet wire insulation.
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL)The Technical Committee has a longstanding dialogue with UL to help meet the need for safe operating magnet wire products and insulation systems. This liaison has also ensured that requirements and administrative procedures associated with UL Component Recognition of magnet wire enamels are not overburdening to magnet wire manufacturers. The Committee is also active in maintenance work for UL Standard 1446, Systems of Insulation Materials-General.

Safety, Health and Environment
The Magnet Wire Section maintains a very active Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Committee that is focused on several key issues including the effort to de-list copper from the Toxic Inventory of Solid Waste, Clean Air Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standard, and evaluating a number of other EPA and DOE legislation and its impact on the industry.
Marketing Economics
Through NEMA, member companies are able to develop and implement tailored, industry-specific market and statistical programs that benefit participating companies.
NEMA also conducts economic analyses on the impact of legislation and regulations on member products, and monitors and reports on key industry market indicators. All programs comply with NEMA statistical confidentiality policies.
Government Affairs
Through NEMA, the section develops industry positions on legislative and regulatory initiatives that may affect member products, markets, and customers. NEMA's work has resulted in contributions to public policy development and in promoting competitiveness, technological progress, and public safety. On the Government Affairs homepage members can search for and e-mail federal representatives to convey opinions regarding energy policy or other issues related to the electroindustry.
NEMA Government Affairs provides specific services to its members and information in the areas of Environment, Health & Safety; Energy; and International Trade & Commerce.
Membership in the NEMA Magnet Wire Section is currently open to any firm actively engaged in the manufacture of magnet wire in North America.
NEMA operates on a fee-for-service basis. The Magnet Wire Section therefore, establishes its projects and activities and approves an annual operating budget.

Next February, Japanese movie theaters are going to lawyer up when the Phoenix Wright movie puts its legal smack down on celluloid.
Directed by famed Japanese director Takashi Miike, it could be great.
Last October, Kotaku posted the first image of actor Hiroki Narimiya as Phoenix Wright. Today, here are photos of the entire cast of actors in character. Thoughts?
Phoenix Wright was first released as a Game Boy Advance game in 2001 and has gone on to span many successful sequels and spin-offs.

Looking at the lives of America's founders-including Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin-scholar and bestselling author Jacob Needleman explores their core of inner beliefs; their religious and spiritual sensibilities; and their individual conception of the purpose of life. The founders, Needleman argues, conceived of an "inner democracy": a continual pursuit of wisdom and self-improvement that would undergird the outer democracy in which we live today. Any understanding of America as a nation of spiritual values will in the years ahead require Needleman's work as a point of reference.

Saab-Scania made possibly one of their first electric vehicles thirty years ago. This electric vehicle was based off of the Saab 99, but converted into a van for the Swedish Postal Service.
2012 UPDATE on SAAB and their Electric Adventures:
|SAAB Phoenix - Out of the Ashes
National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB acquires the main assets of Saab Automobile
National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS) and the Receivers of the Saab Automobile bankruptcy estate today signed a purchase agreement which covers the main assets of Saab Automobile AB, Saab Automobile Powertrain AB and Saab Automobile Tools AB. The agreement includes all outstanding shares in the property company which owns the Saab Automobile facilities in Trollhättan, Sweden. The price for the assets has not been disclosed. Saab Automobile Parts AB, as well as intellectual property rights for the Saab 9-5, owned by General Motors, are not included in the purchase agreement.
"The sale to NEVS is our most important action to realize the assets of the estate," said Anne-Marie Pouteaux, Partner, Wistrand, Hans L. Bergqvist, Partner, Delphi, Receivers in bankruptcy for the Saab Automobile estate and Kent Hägglund, DLA Nordic, Co-receiver in bankruptcy for the Saab trademark and trade name rights. "From the outset, it has been our ambition to find a comprehensive solution by the summer, so we are very pleased today, having reached this agreement."
NEVS is an international consortium formed by Japanese, Swedish and Chinese stakeholders. The company will establish a new automobile venture in Trollhättan, solely dedicated to development and manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs).
The first model to be developed will be based on the current Saab 9-3, which will be modified for electric drive using advanced EV technology from Japan. Launch is targeted at year-end 2013/2014.
In parallel with EV conversion of the Saab 9-3, an all-new model will be developed, based on additional cutting-edge technology from Japan. Marketing and sales will be global, with an initial focus on China, projected to be the largest and most important EV market.
"China is investing heavily in developing the EV market, which is a key driver for the ongoing technology shift to reduce dependence on fossil fuels," said Kai Johan Jiang, founder and main owner of National Modern Energy Holdings Ltd, the majority shareholder of NEVS. "The Chinese can increasingly afford cars; however, the global oil supply would not suffice if they all buy petroleum-fueled vehicles. Chinese customers demand a premium electric vehicle, which we will be able to offer by acquiring Saab Automobile in Trollhättan."
NEVS aims to become a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles. Recruitment to a number of key positions in the company is in progress, and the following step is to hire skilled engineers to the Trollhättan site, in order to immediately start the product development. The development will be conducted in collaboration between Swedish, Japanese and Chinese engineers.
"I am delighted that we can build on Saab Automobile's skills in vehicle design and production to start a new future-oriented venture in Trollhättan, where world class manufacturing facilities are available," said Karl-Erling Trogen, Chairman, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB. "We will match Swedish automobile design and manufacturing experience with Japanese EV technology and a strong presence in China. Electric vehicles powered by clean electricity are the future, and the electric car of the future will be produced in Trollhättan."
About National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB
National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS) has been established for the purpose of acquiring the assets of the Saab Automobile bankruptcy estate. Using existing resources, and adding Japanese cutting-edge technology, NEVS plans to start a new venture in Trollhättan, Sweden, aiming to become a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles.

That would be 90,000 blocks a year too . If you blew up your 69 engine in 70, or 71 it would get a CE0, or CE1 stamp on it.
A CE block, or assembly represents a major repair. You don't get a CE engine because a lifter started ticking, or a valve started leaking oil and started puffing blue smoke and the engine needed to be torn down and individual components replaced. You had to do some major damage to the engine for GM to even consider replacement. A 10% failure rate in a major component of any companies product line (or even 5% since I'm sure GM made more than 1 million cars with small blocks in 69 across the Chevy line) would rapidly bankrupt that company. Probably why you only get a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty today. Do you know anyone who has ever got a brand new engine (or a short or long block) out of GM under warranty lately?
. . . The CE prefix with a sequence number is a designation for a warranty action and is not an over the counter or crate engine designation. You wouldnt have been able to walk into the GM service department and order a 69 302 to replace your base 307 and receive a CE stamped block. . .

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 Trailer: The Clock Keeps Ticking
The Tokyo Game Show 2013 trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 features our favorite heroine with the cotton candy-colored hair being tasked with saving a doomed world.
Lightning has her hands full in this third installment of the Final Fantasy 13 series, trying to save the world from destruction all while battling her former friends. The battle theme swells in the background of this trailer, infusing the visuals with a level of excitement that reaches a crescendo by the end of the action-packed battle at the end. Impressively, Lightning seems to maintain the same, slightly-worried expression throughout each tussle.
As the trailer mentions at the very end, you can pick up a Cloud Strife outfit for Lightning just by pre-ordering the game. You can look forward to it when it's released on Feb. 11, 2014 in North America for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
