Penny doesn't know what she's doing.
She's in her car, bags packed, essentials only, and a text to her landlord to keep her deposit ready for delivery. He can keep the rest of her crap. It would just slow her down, anyways. And she had everything she really wanted to keep. She was all packed up, she knew a guy at a car dealership who'd give her a decent deal on her piece of crap car. It was near the airport and she had a friend who would give her a ride, since she worked the counter there and had promised her a cheap flight if she'd settle for whatever was left over from coach. She only had three luggage bags, but that was enough.
New starts where best done with new things anyway. She was in desperate need of a new start.
Which was why Penny was leaving, straight for New York. The true actress mecca.
It had just seemed like the best thing to do. Some may call it a rather extreme reaction to her break up, but Penny knew it was a whole lot more than that. If she was lucky, Pasadena would just be a bad memory in a few years. Nothing was happening for her here.
Her taste in men sucked, she hated her job, every opportunity in life seemed to go out of it's way to jump right over her. Leaving a tantalizing flash of itself behind for her to mourn over. Her career was going nowhere fast, thanks to her horrible rendition of a musical. Ha! Rendition was such a Sheldon word. She wondered why he hadn't warned her about how badly she sucked. Wait, no she didn't. No doubt Leonard had warned him off.
A sweet asshole, but he'd fucked her over in the end, no matter how unintentionally he'd done it. And she had actually made out with him, drunk. How pathetic was that? Almost as bad as her attempt at throwing him a kick ass birthday party.
The real sad part was that he was one of the few bright spots in her life right now.
The Geek's across the hall where the best thing in her life at the moment. And that was too much. Too sad, too horrible-just not right.
It was one thing to be in a new state. New people, new places. Superficial friends and the discovery that her boyfriend was a true blue jerk of the highest order. All of it was fine. So Penny was truly on her own. So what? She had realized that the first time she'd gotten sent to the hospital for getting bucked off a horse and her dad was late to pick her up.
For two hours Penny had waited, every passing second further confirmation that she was unimportant. Forgotten. Oh her Dad had shown up eventually, with some cock and bull story about her parents both thinking the other was going to go pick her up. But it was too late by then. Penny knew, to them, she was worthless. For her father she was the boy he'd always wanted who'd become a girl. The fact that she had breasts had completely destroyed their old relationship. And he had no interest in building a new one. She barely registered on her mothers radar. Her brother was her world, and she had no interest in expanding it to include either of her daughters.
Was it any wonder then, that she had drowned herself in boys and booze?
Penny was the only person who cared about Penny. The only time anyone spent any amount of time thinking about her, or doing things for her, was to get into her pants. She had made her peace with that a long time ago. Guys only saw her as a hot chick. A good time. And most recently, their gorgeous neighbor.
It was the way of the world. Kurt had never changed that. He was just someone who made her feel good. Needed and appreciated, even if only in the bedroom.
She had moved on when that hadn't been enough, that he'd cheated had been a push she hadn't needed, but it was a good enough excuse to break up. She didn't want to settle. As a kid, she'd had no choice, no way to escape.
She realized the trappings of it now. How easily she'd almost slid back into her old relationship with kurt. How simple and obvious it had seemed that she should give Leonard a chance, through her haze of alcohol,
She wasn't going to let herself fold completely into their circle. Their stunted, socially deficient, pathetic little circle. No way. She was better than that. She had to be, being socially adept was one of the few things she had going for her.
They were fine as friends, good neighbors she saw on the stairs or occasionally watched movies with. There was Thai night, and Halo night, and that was okay. Not people she kissed to distract herself from ex boyfriends. If Penny was willing to kiss Leonard, it meant interest, however microscopically small. And Kurt had already shown her that familiarity and persistence where very easy to give into.
Penny wasn't going to fall for it now. She was making a preemptive strike. Cutting it right off, before it really started, before it got bad. Before she actually tried to date Leonard. Penny figured that was the point of no return. But she would avoid all that.
Penny was going to change it.
She was going to skip town.
Any second now.
All she had to do was press send, and start her Car.
She glared at her thumb as it hovered over the button. She willed it to move.
It didn't. Wouldn't.
Penny let out an explosive sigh.
This shouldn't be so hard.
In fact, this shouldn't be hard at all. There was nothing to hold her back. All she had to do was press send and she could leave. No more of putting up with crappy tips while making minimum wage, or tolerating her hellish manager at the cheesecake factory. No more dealing with her judgmental agent who was going to drop her alone really should have pushed her to do it. She hated that guy.
All she had to do was push the button and drive. Penny knew, she'd done it before. She could deal with the consequences later.
Much, much later.
When she was far away with a new host of distractions. All she had to do was press send.
No more Leonard with his little grins and hopeful looks. No more of Howard's creepy leers and filthy remarks. No more Raj not talking to her.
Her thumb stayed where it was.
No more holier than thou Sheldon with his constant lectures, anal retentive nature, and little tidbits no one gave two fucks about.
No more driving him to the store and getting the full history of whatever she was there to buy. No more rides to the comic book store , or him bitching about her check engine light. No more getting yelled at for sitting in his spot. No having to remind herself that he wasn't retarded, just too smart for his own good. Or hers, or anyone elses especially not having to sing soft kitty for him when he was sick.
No more being needed for no other reason than being Penny. Finally wanted for something that wasn't her looks, or her willingness to sleep with someone. The slightest chance that she might lower her standards for the night.
No getting to feel like she mattered, like she was irreplaceable to someone in some small way. Because it was her he turned to. Not the other geniuses of his acquaintance. No, when Sheldon needed something, he asked her. Just like that. And she was the only one who never gave him a hard time about it. She might mock him, and give him a hard time about nearly everything else, but she never turned him away.
It mattered to Sheldon that she was the one to bring him his disassembled Hamburger every Tuesday. It mattered that she was present for Thai night. And by transitive property, another Sheldon term, Penny could pretend she mattered to him.
That she, Penny, actually mattered to someone else.
And that might be the most truly pathetic part of it all.
Penny put her phone away, saving the message in the drafts folder. She got out of her car. So, she couldn't quite leave yet.
It wasn't a huge set back. There was an easy fix to it, after all.
It was Sunday night, basically the one night the other guys were free of Sheldon's schedule. And while they were probably still in the house watching a movie Penny could hope. And even if they were there, she could just ask Sheldon to come help her clean something at her apartment. The guys had no interest in any of that. And he would jump at the chance. She might feel bad about lying to him, but she wouldn't lose any sleep over it. It was his own fault for making her think he cared about her.
Even if it was all in her head.
She just couldn't leave until she said goodbye. Penny hadn't had that problem leaving home for Christs sake.
She took a deep breath as she reached their door. This was it. Say goodbye to Sheldon and steal away into the night, as quickly as possible. Like ripping off a band aid. Since Penny knew he'd have no problem telling the guys exactly what she told him. And they would try to get her to stay. Scarier still, they might succeed. Get in, get out. That was it.
A perfectly workable plan.
Penny knocked.
Okay so I started this story with a good concept and ruined it with a lack of research, editing, and just generally bad writing. I am theoretically a better writer now-so I will be doing some massive editing. Just some tweaks here and there that will make the story better. I hope you enjoy.

The Pope made an appeal, asking that everyone do their part by not wasting food and by not giving into a throw away society.
Dear Brothers and Sisters
Our Audience today coincides with World Environment Day, and so it is fitting to reflect on our responsibility to cultivate and care for the earth in accordance with God's command (cf. Gen 2:15).
We are called not only to respect the natural environment, but also to show respect for, and solidarity with, all the members of our human family. These two dimensions are closely related; today we are suffering from a crisis which is not only about the just management of economic resources, but also about concern for human resources, for the needs of our brothers and sisters living in extreme poverty, and especially for the many children in our world lacking adequate education, health care and nutrition.
Consumerism and a "culture of waste" have led some of us to tolerate the waste of precious resources, including food, while others are literally wasting away from hunger. I ask all of you to reflect on this grave ethical problem in a spirit of solidarity grounded in our common responsibility for the earth and for all our brothers and sisters in the human family.
Speaker: I offer an affectionate greeting to all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors present at today's Audience, including those from England, Scotland, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Singapore and the United States. God bless you all!

Efficient algorithms are described for computing topological, combinatorial, and metric properties of the union of finitely many spherical balls in ℝd. These algorithms are based on a simplicial complex dual to a decomposition of the union of balls using Voronoi cells, and on short inclusion-exclusion formulas derived from this complex. The algorithms are most relevant in ℝ3 where unions of finitely many balls are commonly used as models of molecules.

After running a 5-1 offense in 2004, the Huskers made the switch to a 6-2 offense and are ranked in the top eight nationally in blocking (4.10, 1st), hitting percentage (.324, fourth), kills per game (17.13, fourth) and assists per game (15.68, eighth) entering tonight's semifinal against No. 11 Santa Clara. Five players average more than two kills per game, while NU's team hitting percentage is the second-highest in school history and highest since 1986.
Cook played an instrumental role in getting the AVCA/NACWAA College Volleyball Showcase to Omaha, where it drew two crowds of over 10,000 per game. Omaha, with strong backing from Nebraska, hosted a NCAA Division I Tournament regional and the crowds averaged 14,804 per night, including an NCAA volleyball postseason record attendance of 15,119 fans in the Elite Eight round.
"It is a reflection of Nebraska volleyball and the program, and not about one person or one player." Cook said. "I know this award is based on what we did at the AVCA Showcase and Regionals. We really raised the bar for volleyball in this country and that is rewarding. It was also exciting to see how many former players who are in coaching here at this banquet. That shows we are doing a great job of providing a positive experience to players, and they are staying in volleyball and giving back to the sport of volleyball."
Cook earned the Tachikara/AVCA Division I National Coach of the Year award also in 2000 during the Huskers last NCAA Division national championship season. He holds a 347-85 overall record, including a 186-12 record in six years at Nebraska. Cook has been honored as Big 12 Coach of the Year twice, and Big Ten Co-Coach of the Year once during his tenure at Wisconsin. He led the Badgers from 1992-1998 with a 161-73 record.
With Cook at the helm of the Nebraska volleyball program, the Huskers have produced one Olympian, one AVCA Division I National Player of the Year, one NCAA Top Eight Award winner, one AVCA Division I National Freshman of the Year, one Honda Award winner, 17 AVCA All-Americans, one CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year, seven CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, three Big 12 Players of the Year and three Big 12 Co-Players of the Year.

Axe to Sponsor Hamptons Night Club
Axe, makers of sprays and body wash aimed at men ages 17-24 internationally, will be embarking this summer on a questionable new project- creating a season-long Axe themed nightclub inside the Hampton's New York club Dune.
The club will feature Axe products in the restrooms, Axe themed drinks, and what a PR rep for the company described as "subtle branding" on the DJ Booth, menu, and valet tickets. When asked why Axe is taking on such a chancy endeavour (their main demographic has been hit the hardest by the recession, and it's been remarked that many are unable to visit the Hamptons this summer) Michael Heller of Talent Resources explained that Axe is a lifestyle brand, not just a product "Axe is all about the mating game, and the best place for a mating game is at a nightclub."
This isn't Axe's first forray into nightlife sponsorship. At this year's Sundance Film Festival they created a similiar pop-up nightclub, Axe Fix, for only a few nights. However, the event was successful enough to embolden Axe to embark on this summer wide venture despite controversy and recent protests about the messages Axe is perceived to send to young men about how to treat women through their marketing efforts. Axe is currently owned by Unilever, which also sponsored Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, and a line of skin lightening products marketed in South Asia, and hopes this pop-up will increase visibility for the Axe brand.

text: Hi I transfer laser prints onto birch ply using cellulose thinners. Tape down one edge which allows the image to be picked and the progress of the transferring to be checked. It's usually line drawings that are transferred so that can be burnt in using a pyrography machine. Remember to make a mirror image, particularly with an image containing text. Use kitchen roll wetted with thinners and rub down through the back of the image. Don't have it too wet as it floats the ink off the print. Too dry and it won't transfer.

Judges in several provinces have also refused to order some offenders to pay the mandatory Victim Fine Surcharge, a financial penalty that goes to victim services. Appeals are under way that could eventually reach the Supreme Court.
Now, with big constitutional challenges ahead – on mandatory minimum sentences, for example – judges have another opportunity to use their discretion in ways that may be at odds with the government.
'Forbidden areas'
The answer for Mr. Harper may be to find his own rebels, stubbornly independent jurists ready to stand up for conservative principle.
Justice Nadon certainly marked himself as a potential outlier four years ago in the case of Omar Khadr.
Canadian Omar Khadr was 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan after a battle with U.S. soldiers, and accused of the war crime of murder. The United States jailed him at Guantanamo Bay, its naval base in Cuba. Canadian officials who visited him when he was still a minor interrogated him with no lawyer present to advise him, and turned over what they gleaned to his captors.
Thirteen Canadian judges ultimately heard the case – one from the Federal Court's trial division, three from the appeal division and nine from the Supreme Court. They had two key questions to answer: Did Canada violate Mr. Khadr's constitutional rights, and if so, must the government demand his repatriation? The court unanimously answered yes to the first question, and no to the second.
On interrogating a teenager without counsel present, and turning information over to his jailers, the court said: "[This behaviour] offends the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects."
Only one judge called Canada nearly blameless: Justice Nadon. Foreign policy, he wrote in a stylish and confident defence, is one of "the forbidden areas" in which judges have no right to question government.
Clearly he was no bleeding heart. He had nerve. And he was on the government's side.
No creativity required
When a prime minister, any prime minister, appoints a judge, criticism is usually muted. Law professors may worry that their students won't get clerkships at the Supreme Court if they are seen deploring a judge's limited capacities. The leading lights of the bar may worry about appearing before the man or woman they criticize. Or perhaps the Canadian legal community is just too clubby for harsh words.
Jamie Cameron, an Osgoode Hall law professor, says she has a rule not to comment publicly on the attributes of appointees – but she is breaking her rule this time.
"What the appointment shows is the Prime Minister's lack of respect for the Supreme Court as an institution," she says. "I feel very strongly that the orderly progression and evolution of the law requires a strong court – a court that's capable and willing to demonstrate leadership. I think this appointment unquestionably weakens the court."
For some observers, this is at least partly in line with the other appointments made by Mr. Harper. What unites all six of his Supreme Court appointees "is judicial restraint, or at least no evident tendencies towards judicial creativity, which has long been a sin Harper Conservatives have sought to stamp out," says Bruce Ryder, a professor at Osgoode Hall Law School.
And although Mr. Harper has not appointed nearly as many Supreme Court judges as Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney or Jean Chrétien, he has done enough to put his stamp on the law, and public policy, for years to come – and, some fear, to turn back the clock more than 30 years to pre-Charter of Rights days when the Supreme Court rarely stuck its neck out and had little prestige.
Even so, Mr. Harper's appointees are capable of surprises. Justice Michael Moldaver of Ontario gave a controversial speech to the Criminal Lawyers Association in 2005 attacking defence lawyers who "trivialize and demean" the Charter of Rights. At the Supreme Court's recent hearings on Senate reform, Justice Richard Wagner of Quebec repeatedly asked whether aboriginal peoples would have a say in changing Canada's basic institutions.
Other appointees, such as Marshall Rothstein of Manitoba and Thomas Cromwell of Nova Scotia, are also widely viewed as strong judges.Report Typo/Error

Re: Buffalo Sabres
I wish the Sabres could only play games against teams that are playoff teams, (based on 2/19/17 standings). Their record vs. teams headed to the real season, (again if the season ended yesterday), is 17-10-6.
Unfortunately they play other teams sitting outside the playoffs too. Against these teams their record is 9-14-4.
I think the only definitive conclusion we can draw is that it sucks to be a Sabres fan. It may indicate that no team can sleep on Buffalo. It may also indicate that Buffalo cannot afford to sleep on anyone, but they do.
The Sabres D blows, but any team with Risto on the roster has hope. Jake McCabe is rounding out to be pretty good too. Damn, you want more that 2 blueliners on your lineup.
If BUF loses one of their next two (at CO & AZ) then they absolutely will be sellers at the deadline. The expansion draft may add almost as much excitement as we normally expect at the trade deadline. I'm thinking it's time to sacrifice a first round pick, (top 3 protected) for D - hopefully someone from ANA. A June deal is much more likely than Feb., however.

Market Overview
Italy has a diverse, industrial economy, the seventh largest in the world and fourth largest in the European Union. With a population of 58.1 million, and a GDP of $2.1 trillion, Italy represents a market comparable in size and wealth to that of the United Kingdom and France, while ranking larger in GDP than Brazil, India, and Mexico. Italy's GDP grew 1.4 percent in 2007 but is expected to show a slight decline for 2008 due to recent financial market turbulence and recession in major export markets. This decline is expected to deepen in 2009 with official Italian projections of -2.0 percent.
Industrial activity is concentrated in the north in a swath that runs from Turin in the west through Milan to Venice in the east. This is one of the most industrialized and prosperous areas of Europe, and accounts for some 50 percent of national income. By contrast, Italy's southern region, or "Mezzogiorno," is less developed. As in other industrialized countries, the role of the services sector is growing. Nevertheless, Italy maintains the highest proportion of manufacturing jobs among the G7 economies. Numerous Italian companies are famous worldwide, but it is the small and medium-sized firms (almost 90 percent of all Italian firms) that dominate the economy.
Italy is a major U.S. trading partner. In 2007, U.S. exports to Italy totaled $14.1 billion, an increase of 12.8 percent over the previous year, and U.S. imports from Italy reached $35.0 billion. U.S. exports to Italy through November 2008 totaled $14.5 billion, an increase of 12.6 percent over the same period in 2007. The U.S. is Italy's 11th largest supplier. The top four supplier countries are Germany, France, the Netherlands, and China.
U.S. cumulative investment in Italy was at $28 billion in 2006, putting the country number 11 in Europe as a destination for U.S. investment. In comparison, cumulative U.S. investment in the Netherlands and France was $370 billion and $68 billion, respectively. Approximately seventy percent of U.S. investment is in manufacturing and information technology, with the remainder in services.
Market Challenges
U.S. exporters in Italy face strong competition from local and other EU companies. In addition, Italy can be a surprisingly complex market for new entrants. Italy's regulatory environment is complex and sometimes lacks the transparency, clarity, efficiency, and certainty found in other developed economies. Products that involve health, safety, or environmental concerns are likely to be highly regulated. While EU-wide regulations often apply, Italian laws sometimes go beyond the basic EU requirements. More effective enforcement of intellectual property laws and more stringent corporate governance are needed. The continued dominance of small, family-owned companies and regional differences and disparities add to the challenges of doing business.
Market Opportunities
Chapter 4 of this guide spells out in detail some key market opportunities for U.S. products and services in the leading sectors of the Italian market. U.S. firms enjoy good opportunities in sectors where new regulations or programs (often imposed or initiated at the EU level), are creating demand; with new products/services where there is little or no domestic competition; and/or where the American product offers clear technological advantages. Best prospects that respond to these factors include the information technology, security, healthcare, and environmental sectors.
Italy's changing demographics and lifestyle also create opportunities. Italy's population is aging. More women are entering and remaining in the workforce. An influx of immigrants from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America is creating identifiable ethnic markets to be served. Pet ownership is rising. U.S. higher educational programs are in demand.
Italy hosts major trade shows in many sectors that attract buyers from throughout Europe and beyond. This includes events in best prospect sectors such as information technology, health care, franchising, travel and tourism, safety and security, pets, automotive, and marine recreation, among others. The Commercial Service offers onsite support for U.S. exporters at most of the major international shows, or by request.
In the agricultural sector, bulk and intermediate commodities (such as durum wheat -- used as ingredients for Italian value-added products), seafood, fruits and nuts, hardwood and softwood, and consumer-oriented products are in demand.
Market Entry Strategy
The cultivation and maintenance of personal relationships are a vital part of doing business in Italy. This is even truer for foreign businesses that lack an intimate understanding of Italy's business culture and regulatory environment. Finding the right Italian business partner is therefore an essential part of establishing a business presence in Italy. The ideal candidate should already have a network of relationships that will open doors in the market. They should also have a keen understanding of local business practices and applicable regulations. For technical products, the potential partner should have the ability to provide Italian customers with after-sales service.
The U.S. Commercial Service offers services to help U.S. firms identify an ideal partner, from customized Gold Key matchmaking to participation in U.S. Pavilions at leading trade exhibitions. The U.S. Commercial Service also maintains a list of Business Service Providers – consultants, accounting and legal advisors, and others who offer valuable assistance to U.S. exporters.

Portsmouth North MP Penny Mordaunt told the Commons that the movie had ended up generating "substantial income" for the hospital. She did not want to identify the hospital.
But the Standard understands it is St Charles Hospital off Ladbroke Grove in west London. Local health chiefs were unable to confirm or deny this.
Ms Mordaunt raised the case to highlight the need for transparency in public spending.
"When I was director of Kensington and Chelsea council, I discovered that one of our local hospitals was hiring out one of its closed — but fully equipped — wards to a film company to use as a film set," she said.
"To add insult to injury, the movie was a pornographic one. Although I cannot claim to have seen the final picture — as I understand these things are no longer claimable on parliamentary expenses — it was a big-budget affair and generated substantial income for the hospital. But apart from cheering up a few of the inpatients, it cannot be said to be contributing to the objectives of the primary care trust."
Ms Mordaunt had a friend who was receiving treatment at the hospital and was surprised to learn about the filming.
A spokesman for NHS Kensington & Chelsea said: "We can confirm this incident occurred some time prior to 2002 under a predecessor organisation's management and prior to the formation of PCTs."
She stressed that managers at St Charles were unable to say whether their hospital had been used to film an adult movie.
Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut — a racy but not pornographic film, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman — featured the revolving doors of the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital complex in Fulham Road.
A spokesman for Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: "Chelsea and Westminster Hospital is aware of the claim that a hospital in Kensington and Chelsea was used to make an adult film.
"We can categorically state that the filming did not take place at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital."

For some, a vacation means a fully catered luxury getaway to an exotic location, or perhaps it's an adventure with a backpack and the chance to meet other travelers at a hostel.In Lebanon, where large luxury hotels are often touted to attract big-spending tourists, the small but charming bed and breakfast – or boutique hotel – model is growing in popularity in the shadows of shiny high-rise accommodation. The standard ranges from simple rooms in a proprietor's home to suites fit for a king – or a tourist with an appreciation of architecture – in fastidiously restored grand houses. It was with this growing popularity of independent cultural tourism that Paris-based Lebanese expatriate Orphee Haddad started his booking website business L'Hote Libanais in 2004, featuring guesthouses throughout Lebanon in traditional old homes, targeting Lebanese city dwellers looking for weekend getaways in villages as well as foreigners who want an authentic experience.

Bangalore, June 18: It appears Indian software giant Infosys is set to immerse one finger in the national cricket pie. According to a report by a leading Indian newspaper, the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) is in talks with Infy over the creation of a database for exhaustive injury among its stock of premier players.
The proposal, put forward by Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) president and National Cricket Association (NCA) chairman Anil Kumble, would be to ostensibly implemented to track, assess and provide solutions relating to the trend of top cricketers suffering physical distress which in turn, coerces them into passing on important tours.
The suggestion comes close on the heels of injuries suffered by a host of players like Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambir, Zaheer Khan and S Sreesanth, which have effectively kept them out of the ongoing West Indies tour and rendered their inclusion in the subsequent visit to England, doubtful.
BCCI President Ratnakar Shetty conceded however, that the talks are still at nascent stage. Yet, the whole exercise would be much ado about nothing when you consider that one needs nothing more than a clued-in coach and a simple spreadsheet to do the job!
After all, wouldn't the $7 billion establishment and India's second largest software firm rather continue to busy itself with attending to proposed mergers and acquisitions instead of being bothered with such a small odd job?
Sports clubs around the world have long used software to identify talent, plot diet plans, record medical information, and track players from the junior to professional levels. These constitute a more worthwhile application of time and effort.
Furthermore, it doesn't take a great deal of intelligence to understand that players' injury woes are a direct consequence of the BCCI's relentless cricket schedule. The board should realise they are killing the golden goose by overburdening their players with the brutal IPL circus over and above international series. Kumble and Co and the BCCI should address the root problem of player-inhjury first, before going off on a whimsical tangent...

Lousy ports and too many kids.
Sail Date: August 13, 2016
Reviewed: 9 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
Well, of course like any cruise the fact you didn't have to cook was great.
The aft balcony though was terrible. You get absolutely no air and for a
trip through the Caribbean that was a must. The aft part of the ship is so
bouncy and with the pool maintenance room across the hall it was noisy.
Big bangs for no reason , oh wait , pool maintenance . I would never book
a room there again.
The people on this particular cruise were the most ignorant humans ever.

- PET to assure the chemotherapy efficiency for stomach cancer treatment.
What is the cost for stomach cancer diagnostics at Dusseldorf University Hospital?
The total cost varies from 4,000 to 7,000 USD.
What are the treatment methods of stomach cancer at Dusseldorf University Hospital?
The surgical resection, radiotherapy or chemotherapy may be appointed for the stomach cancer treatment at Dusseldorf University Hospital. The combination of these methods is often applied. Many patients are offered the opportunity to participate in the experimental methods of treatment.
At the arly stages, i.e. initial cancer or 1st stage, the treatment consists of the resection of a part of stomach or the entire stomach removal and the surrounding lymph nodes. The removal of the lymph nodes (lymphadenectomy) plays a great role as the preliminary tumor spreads usually through the lymphatic system.
If the cancer has spreaded onto the outer wall or the lymph nodes (2nd or 3rd stage), the chemotherapy or the radiotherapy is appointed after the surgery.
If the stomach cancer has spreaded all over the surrounding organs or blood vessels, or over the distant organs (4th stage), the stomach resection surgery (gastrectomy) is not held.

ISIS is a world-leading centre for research in the physical and life sciences at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford in the United Kingdom. Our suite of neutron and muon instruments gives unique insights into the properties of materials on the atomic scale. We support a national and international community of more than 3000 scientists for research into subjects ranging from clean energy and the environment, pharmaceuticals and health care, through to nanotechnology and materials engineering, catalysis and polymers, and on to fundamental studies of materials.
ISIS has five muon spectrometers for condensed matter and molecular studies using the muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance technique. Two of these are located on the Japanese RIKEN-RAL Muon Facility on one side of the ISIS experimental hall, and a further three are located on the European Muon Facility on the other side of the ISIS hall. These spectrometers are used by researchers from around the world for muon measurements in the areas of magnetism, superconductivity, charge transport, molecular and chemical studies, and modelling hydrogen behaviour in, for example, semiconductors or proton conductors. Further details can be found at http://www.isis.stfc.ac.uk/groups/muons/muons3385.html.
We require a leader who is an expert in technical aspects of the muon technique, including beamline development and diagnostics, and data analysis and simulation, in order to further develop the muon technique at ISIS as a resource for the UK and worldwide muon community. As one of only four places in the world where muon studies are possible, ISIS provides unique capabilities within Europe for muon studies of materials. The continued technical development of the facility is essential to meet the needs of the external user community, and we require someone with unique skills, a world expert in this area to progress this work.
List of Duties / Work Programme / Responsibilities
Lead the development of the ISIS muon beamline design. This will include the development of ISIS muon beamline components and instruments, including modelling using TURTLE, TRANSPORT and GEANT4.
Lead the technical development of the ISIS muon facilities more broadly, to provide for the science needs of the external research community. This will include consideration of the RIKEN-RAL muon facility and its development into the future, and will concern data rate and frequency response developments, instrument upgrades and other methods of improving the performance of the facility.
Providing technical expertise in the areas of muon data analysis, simulation and modelling, including development of tools for use within the ISIS Mantid data analysis and visualization framework.
Lead the development of the in-situ laser stimulation of materials including, currently, delivering the ISIS commitment to a large European grant in this area.
Support for visiting scientists using the ISIS muon instruments. This will include liaison with visitors on all aspects of their experiments, proactive support for experiments during visits to enable researchers to gain the most from their muon experimental time, and subsequent help with data analysis as required.
Maintenance and development of one of the spectrometers specifically, including helping to ensure the spectrometer is in a fit state for user experiments, calibration at the start of experimental periods, scheduling of accepted experiments through liaison with visiting research teams, and development of the spectrometer and associated sample environment equipment according to experimental and scientific needs.
The continuation or development of a personal and collaborative programme of original research that will include the use of the muon method in areas of condensed matter physics or chemistry.
Promotion of the muon technique through, for example, presenting research which employs the muon method at conferences and through publications.
Contributing to the corporate activities of the ISIS muon groups as they arise, for example helping with training courses using the muon method and leading the larger instrument development projects.
Contacts and Communication
You will be based at ISIS within the ISIS muon group. You will be expected to work with the other group members, and the RIKEN group, who are working on other aspects of the muon technique or muon instrumentation. You will have regular contact with ISIS technical and support groups, and will need to liaise closely with these groups as experiments are carried out. You will be involved with, and will give technical and scientific support to, senior researchers from the UK and elsewhere who will come to ISIS to use the muon technique – (s)he will need to be able to explain experimental details to researchers with much less experience of muon methods. You will be expected to publicise the muon method through work in peer-reviewed journals and at international conferences. You will interact with senior muon scientists and muon facility personnel from around the world in order to consider the science needs of the muon community and to liaise with other facilities regarding technical developments.
Personal Skills and Attributes
A PhD in a relevant physical science
Experience of the muon technique, muon beamline modelling and muon data analysis is essential.

OK Go - Upside Down and Inside Out - FB Exclusive 48hrs, YouTube Now!
Janill Gilbert stashed this in Music
This band has always been on the cutting edge of videos.
American alternative rock band OK Go has filmed their new music video almost entirely in zero gravity.
The clip for Upside Down & Inside Out, viewed more than 18 million times on Facebook within 16 hours, features band members and extras performing stunts inside a plane flying at a specific angle called a parabolic arc.
In a statement on its website, OK Go said the video was shot in a single take, although they needed to pause the shoot eight times because the periods of weightlessness lasted a maximum 27 seconds.
"We paused our actions, and the music, during the non-weightless periods, and then cut out these sections and smoothed over each transition with a morph," they said.
"We wanted the whole video to take place in weightlessness, so we designed the routine in 27-second chunks, scenes that start and end right at the moments gravity is going and coming back.
"After we filmed a scene, when gravity returned, we stayed as still as we could for the five minutes of the plane climbing, and then began the next scene as soon as we were weightless again."
The video was filmed east of Moscow on local commercial airline S7.
It took OK Go 27 flights to complete the video, including planning, rehearsing and performing the routine eight times over eight flights.
There were "58 puke events" among the committed crew, the band said.
"The full crew was around 60 people. On each flight, we had three pilots/navigators, eight cosmonaut trainers, and 14 film crew, including the band and our aerialist dancers," they said.
OK Go is known for its quirky videos, with its treadmill-filled clip for the song Here It Goes Again propelling the band to fame.
Their latest clip is the second viral music video shot in zero gravity to be posted online in recent years.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield filmed a cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity while onboard the International Space Station.
It has been viewed more than 30 million times on YouTube.

Interestingly enough, OK Go did not put this video on YouTube.
They put it on Facebook:
A rando uploaded it to YouTube.
OK Go put this on YouTube:
I learned that from the Reddit comments:
I wish people would stop with the Facebook uploads, it's a dead end.
As you pointed out below, it was a strategy to prevent Facebook freebooting.
The YouTube version will be available soon.
Meanwhile I'm enjoying Chris Hadfield Space Oddity:
The 58 puke events happened over 21 flights:
48 hrs exclusively on Facebook, lame, good way to not go viral IMO,
No revenue for it's exclusivity to Facebook, lame, why?
"For exclusive music-video premieres, Facebook has a window of 24-48 hours depending on the arrangement with the artist. OK Go's "Upside Down & Inside Out" is exclusive to Facebook through Friday; the band is not receiving any revenue from the social site under the deal.
"It was unauthorized to have on YouTube," said a rep for OK Go. "This was a Facebook premiere — exclusive for 48 hours.""
To avoid Facebook freebooting stealing their video:
YouTube is much more respectful of takedown notices than Facebook.
By building 48 hours of momentum on Facebook first they prevent Facebook freebooters.

Japanese sculptor, artist and "model-hacker" Y Nakajima recently created this post-apocalyptic Thomas The Tank Engine—and it's kind of intense. It's remote controlled, moves about on armored legs, and it can actually fire off 300 mW lasers that are strong enough to pop balloons and light matches.
See this nightmare killing machine in action after the break.
You can check out some more of Y Nakajima's art over at his blog.
