Hi my name is Andrew Williams, owner of Poolschool - formerly Deep Blue Pools.
We are looking forward to the next few months. We are opening our new store in Coin for the new year, it is a great location, right in the middle of Malaga and the coast. We will keep you updated with the opening date and other news.
Presently, should a drowning occur in a pool within an urbanisation or community, fines may be issued of up to 600,000 euros and the pool closed for up to 5 years.
Additionally, the President (responsible for safety compliance) could be personally sued by the family of the victim.
Insurance may be invalidated (Please check with your legal advisor as to the current pool safety rulings within your region as, from experience, we know this can differ from region to region)
Please note that you should check with your local Town Hall as to any local ammendments or updates.
Its not too late to book your pool make over. We can carry out an acid wash and jet wash then regrout your pool. In most cases this brings your pool back to as new. If your pool is a little older or is painted why not ask us to give you a quote to re-tile the whole pool. We can also add some steps with a hand rail to make getting in and out of your pool that bit easier. Something that is getting more popular all the time in our salt system with automated ph control. No more worrying about your water balance as the unit does it all for you http://www.poolschool.eu/pool-equipment/saliclor-chlorine-generator.html. Contact us now for all your pool needs. Whilst you are here,check out the work we have done recently on the facebook page.
We are offering our winter reform which consists of acid washing and jet washing the entire pool and surround. We replace any missing tiles then re grout the entire pool. We also remove the old sand in the filter and replace with new sand or Zeolte. This offer of €699 is for up to 8m x 4m pools and for December only. usual price is €849. Why not give your self an early Christmas present?
Also why not follow us on twitter look for Poolschool.eu.
Due to becoming increasingly busy poolside, our office will now be open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am-2pm. We are available anytime by phone.
Just to give some prior notice, we will be closing for Christmas on Friday 21st December at 2pm. The office itself will remain closed until February, although our poolside work will be unaffected. We will continue to be available for on site work, installations and repairs as normal throughout January.
If your pool is unheated and you want to close it down for the winter, by far the most economical approach is to 'winterize' the pool. This treatment is a cocktail of chemicals which will minimize winter maintenance and keep algae at bay - €39.00 for 5 Litres. See http://www.poolschool.eu/downloads/Winterising.pdf for 'how-to' info.
If there is any likelihood of frost protect your pool by floating some half-filled plastic bottles in the water. Then, if the water freezes and expands, the ice will crush the bottles, rather than the walls.
You may want to invest in a winter cover, to close off your pool completely. These covers are made from an extremely strong material which will last for many years. We can supply and fit these winter covers for €16 per square meter plus IVA.
Finally, you may not want to close your pool yet; you may want to consider heating it. It's more affordable than you think, and during December we have Heat pumps, pool-covers and winter covers on offer, see Special Offers below.
We only give Quotations. A Quotation is a fixed price, and cannot be altered. We do not offer to give 'Estimates'; an 'Estimate' gives no guarantee of final price. PoolSchool and its predecessor Deep Blue Pools is proud to have never charged more than our quoted price for works undertaken and we never will.
We offer free advice on pools-related problems.
We supply all your pool equipment and consumables at list price - and we deliver.
We look forward to meeting you soon.

Which way forward for the climate action movement?
By Tim Stewart
"Penny Wong jeered, Hugo Chavez cheered" was the headline of an article in the Australian newspaper during the final days of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen last December. Wong, the Australian Minister for Climate Change, was there to "seal a deal" which favoured business-as-usual for the world's biggest carbon dioxide polluters. Despite years of pledges to act on climate change, the bottom line for the Rudd Labor government is still a mere 5% reduction of carbon emissions by 2020.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, on the other hand, received applause and standing ovations. He called on the rich countries to pay their "climate debt" to poor countries. He led a walkout of Latin American leaders at Copenhagen, denouncing the "deal" being imposed on the poor countries by the governments of the rich countries. Addressing the Copenhagen conference delegates, he said "the rich are destroying the planet. Do they think they can go to another when they destroy this one? Can a finite Earth support an infinite project? The thesis of capitalism, infinite development, is a destructive pattern, let's face it…" Chavez asked: "How long are we going to allow such injustices and inequalities? How long are we going to tolerate the current international economic order and prevailing market mechanisms?" He answered: "Capitalism is the road to hell."
During the Copenhagen conference, 100,000 people took to the streets and the Klimaforum09 counter-conference, which issued four demands beginning with "a complete abandoning of fossil fuels within the next 30 years". In the wake of the Copenhagen conference — which recognised for the first time the need to limit global warming since pre-industrial times to below 2°C, yet despite two years of negotiations failed to produce any legally binding emission reduction targets to achieve that goal — anti-corporate globalisation authors like George Monbiot and Naomi Klein are calling for a renewed movement based on mass action.
While the outcome of the Copenhagen conference shattered illusions for many climate-change activists in Australia, the simple lesson is that the global movement needs to reconstitute around alternative politics and take on the failed climate-change policies of the Australian Labor government. It has been a year since the last convergence of climate action groups in Canberra, which culminated in 2000 people surrounding Parliament House in sea of red shirts with the words "climate emergency".
The event was largely ignored by the mass media. Most of the momentum coming out of the 2009 Climate Action Summit was directed into online policy discussions. Too much hope was invested in the UN-organised negotiations. The result is that hundreds of local climate action groups remain unnecessarily weak and isolated from each other, with activities heavily focussed on lobbying capitalist politicians and promotion of individual lifestyle "solutions".
The other problem that has plagued the climate action movement has been the preoccupation with perfecting the "perfect recipe" — drawing up a blueprint that attempts to resolve every symptom of the climate crisis within the existing capitalist economic framework. The focus instead needs to be on mobilising opposition to the cause of the crisis — the capitalist system's reliance on using "cheap", and therefore profitable, fossil fuels, particularly coal, to generate electricity.
Rather than getting bogged in permanent online discussions about emissions-reduction targets, transitions and timetables for a low-carbon economy, the climate action movement needs to focus on a campaign that can inspire activists to clearly agitate for mass protest action against the "free market, business as usual" policies of the ruling rich and their politicians. A campaign against coal fits that bill.
Leading climate scientist Dr. James Hansen of NASA's Goddard Institute has pointed out that rapidly phasing out coal use is the "primary requirement for solving global warming". Coal is the dirtiest fuel on the planet, emitting around 1.7 times as much carbon per unit of energy when burned as does natural gas and 1.25 times as much as oil. A typical (500 megawatt) coal-fired power plant burns 1.4 million tonnes of coal each year. Worldwide there are around 50,000 coal-fired power stations.
The ALP is unashamedly pro-coal. The federal and state Labor governments provide billions of dollars in incentives, subsidies and investment in coal-use infrastructure, continuing to give the coal mining corporations cover with the fake promise of "clean coal". Australia is the world's fourth largest coal producing country, and the world's largest coal exporter. Every tonne of coal exported ends up as around two tonnes of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Multiply that by the 270 million tonnes of coal now being exported each year, and it's readily understandable why Australia is a chief contributor to the problem of global warming.
Former industry lobbyist Guy Pearse, author of Quarry Vision, correctly labelled the coal industry as a central part of the "greenhouse mafia". This is the coalition of corporate fossil fuel producers and users that includes the Australian Coal Association, the Australian Aluminium Council, BHP-Billiton, Rio Tinto (CRA), the Electricity Supply Association of Australia, ExxonMobil and Caltex (Chevron). At the behest of this "greenhouse mafia" the Rudd government has adopted policies that aim to double Australia's coal exports.
Campaigns against coal mining are already well-established — in the Hunter Valley, near Mudgee and in the Liverpool Plains of NSW, and near Toowoomba in Queensland. Composed mainly of workers and farmers and some local councillors, groups are tackling the coal industry head-on. An alliance with these campaigners by city-based climate action groups is what is needed to give the latter a clear campaigning focus on the chief cause of climate change.
Climate camps over the last few years continue to draw significant numbers of young people interested in countering global warming. Climate action groups need to engage in collective forms of protest action with a unified focus if they are going to make an impact on public opinion — the Franklin Dam campaign was not won by thousands of people staying at home just lobbying politicians through letter-writing. A single-focus Franklin Dam-style campaign allows people from all political backgrounds to participate around a common goal.
A single-issue focus on coal — on demanding a ban on all new coal mines and coal-fired power stations, as well as the immediate ending of all government subsidies to the coal mining companies — could provide an immediate unifying goal to mobilise the largest number of those seriously opposed to climate change on the streets. Unless the climate action movement takes up the challenge of taking direct action to fight the pro-coal "business as usual" approach of the "greenhouse mafia" and the Rudd Labor government, then it's wasting time that we simply don't have.

The Nokia Lumia 920 is being released in Finland tomorrow, but if you did not secure a pre-order there is really no point in going to the store.
Aamulehti.fi reports that Elisa has sold out of its total 5000 handset allocation in pre-orders alone, and stores will only be sporting demo units, said Elisa Corporation's Regional Director Markus Vuosjoki.
Other national carrier DNA also confirmed demand has been clearly higher compared to the previous Lumias, according to Managing Director of DNA Sami Aavikko.
Sonera also confirmed pre-orders have gone well.
Nokia has said new stock of the handset will become available in early December.
The handset has also been selling out elsewhere in USA and Europe, and in response Nokia's share price has hit a 7 month high of $3.31, up 12.2% on the day.

How to Not Commit to Not Running for President
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) used one of Washington's best tricks when asked if she is running for president — the present tense. Photo: Getty

Book marketing isn't something that comes naturally to authors.
For many authors, a long, slow root canal is preferable to getting invovled in marketing activities. Nevertheless, once their book is published, the author must market it. If the author doesn't market the book, no one will. If no one markets the book, no one will know about the book and there will be no book sales.
To make book marketing a bit less onerous, I've put together a small booklet filled with tips. It contains 37 tips on how to go about marketing your book. While it may not turn your book into a best-seller, it will get an author started on the journey throught the swamps of Marketing Land.

The urban morphology and typology of colonial buildings in Bogotá have been maintained since the late nineteenth century, long after the independence of Colombia (1810). This persistence of the colonial setting is still visible, particularly in La Candelaria, the historical center of Bogotá. Also maintained are the two story colonial houses, with courtyards, gabled roofs, ceramic tiles and balconies. In some cases, these balconies were enclosed by beautiful stained glass during the Republican period, a distinguishing feature of the architecture of the sector.
"Republican Architecture" was the style that prevailed between 1830 and 1930. Although there were attempts to consolidate a modern architectural language, the only examples seen are University City and White City at the National University of Colombia (built from 1936 to 1939). This work was developed by German architect James Daly, although architects with traditionalist trends participated in the design of campus buildings. We also see in Bogotá architecture trends such as art deco, expressionism and organic architecture. This last trend was typified by Bogotá architects in the second half of the twentieth century such as Rogelio Salmona.
In 2006, in recognition of "efforts towards social inclusion, education, housing and public space, particularly through innovations in transportation", Bogotá won The Golden Lion Award at the Tenth International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
Although renowned for its beautiful preservation of colonial architecture, there are also examples of significant contemporary architecture in the downtown and at the north of the city.

From: B.J. Williamson (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Mon May 08 2000 - 23:40:20 EDT
It may be of interest to share a conversation Dr. Wallace
and I had regarding this usage in 2 Thes. 2.
Dr. Wallace is in agreement that this APOSTASIA is not
related to the "departing from the faith" of 1 Tim. 4.
(A belief held by quite a few noted scholars.)
His contention is that Paul had verbally instructed them
regarding this APOSTASIA during his stay there, and that
the Thessalonians knew what he was referring to, but we
can only conjecture. In other words, this APOSTASIA would
be unknown to those outside of the church at Thess.
This is his current position.
Kenneth Wuest and E. S. English are very much in the minority
with their positions that APOSTASIA refers to the Rapture.
Whatever APOSTASIA meant to those at Thess, it certainly was
something overt, unique, and identifiable.
Hope this helps.

Customer review
Stunning Screen at the second attempt!
First screen was defective. It had a row of at least 4 adjacent dead subpixels (looked like a small scratch). Philips were brilliant (but slow) and replaced the defective unit for another brand new unit collecting the defective one a day after the replacement arrived.
Coming from a 9 yr old 24" 1200p screen games look stunning, no noticeable ghosting. The also run really well, with my GTX970 coping just fine with the 1440p res.
The display is very bright, Ive set mine to 38% brightness, blacks are so black.
Stunning display
I needed to upgrade from my 5-6yr old 23" LG IPS231 which has served me well for its duration, but it was time to get something bigger and with more resolution, and also one that reduces eye strain/fatigue.
I was tempted to get a 4k panel, but I didn't want to upgrade my MSI GTX970 as well, so I looked at what was on offer in the QHD class.
I know how good some of the others are from their reviews etc. but I was a bit disappointed on the warranty offerings with most of them. This screen really has met & exceeded my expectations in terms of colour accuracy, deep blacks and build quality.
I'm glad I didn't get anything larger as this 32" beauty dominates my desk, but isn't over imposing.
The specs on this screen really drew me in, with its size & resolution, plus the 5yr on-site wty. It's a 10bit AMVA LED panel, delivering rich colours & deep blacks, perfect for my photo editing, but it also seems very competent with gaming as well, showing no signs of ghosting etc.
Connectivity is excellent, with everything from VGA, to HDMI, to DVI-D, to DisplayPort (which I'm using), and all cables are included for each as well, and there's a USB hub too (2x USB2 & 2x USB3). It's quite a heavy unit, with a sturdy base (10.2kg total), so it's not prone to wobbling about.
The built-in speakers are nothing to shout about, but they are clear, and will get used when I CBA to wear headphones during the night, and don't want to annoy the wife or neighbours.
So far I really can't fault it, and highly recommend anyone looking to buy in this class to check it out.

Lacey Nicole Sturm (née Mosley, previously Carder) is an American singer and songwriter born in Homestead, Florida; and raised in Arlington, Texas.[1] She is a co-founder and former lead vocalist of the hard rock band Flyleaf. In February 2016, Sturm became the first solo female to top the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart with her debut release.[2]
Early life and education[edit]
Sturm was an atheist[3] prior to becoming a Christian.[4][1] She had contemplated suicide and then ended up in a church where a man spoke to her what she believed to be words from God, which led to her becoming a Christian.[5][page needed] She said in her book that God helped rescue her from the "sin of homosexuality", and she broke up with her girlfriend.[6][page needed]
In 2000, Sturm began to play with drummer James Culpepper. The pair worked with guitarists Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann. In 2002, Pat Seals, Flyleaf's current bassist, joined, forming a group named Passerby. Due to legal reasons, they renamed themselves Flyleaf in June 2004.[7]
Sturm provided backing vocals on "Run to You" and "Born Again", two tracks on Christian rock band Third Day's 2008 album Revelation.[8] Sturm received two Grammy nominations at the 52nd Grammy Awards for her work with Third Day: "Born Again" was nominated for Best Gospel Song and Best Gospel Performance.[9]
Sturm has also worked with Apocalyptica on their song "Broken Pieces" and with Orianthi on the song "Courage".[10]
Sturm recorded a song, "Heavy Prey", for the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack.[11]
On October 22, 2012, shortly before the release of New Horizons, Sturm revealed that she had amicably left Flyleaf.[12][13] The album was nominated for the 2012 Rock Album of the Year Dove Award.[14]
Sturm revealed on her website in September 2013 that she signed a publishing deal with Baker Publishing Group. Her first book was released in 2014 and her second was scheduled to be released October 2016.[15]
The Whosoevers[edit]
The Whosoevers is a movement fueled by what the founders see as an overwhelming need to encourage individuals and speak purpose into the lives of millions around the world. The non-profit organization was founded in 2009 as a collaboration between Sonny Sandoval, Ryan Ries and Brian "Head" Welch with the intent to positively impact today's music, skateboarding and art culture.[16][17] Ambassadors include Sturm, Annie Lobert, freestyle motocross athlete Ronnie Faisst, and lead singer of the band Islander Mikey Carvajal.[18][19][20]
Other work[edit]
Sturm has a role in the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's worldwide video, The Cross, released in November 2013.[21] Lecrae and Sturm share the video in honor of Graham's 95th birthday. She sings the final song: "Mercy Tree". An accompanying album, My Hope, on which Sturm has two songs, "The Reason" and "Mercy Tree" was released.[22][23]
Sturm has previously been involved with Hot Topic, modeling for their clothing line LOVEsick.[24]
She was also featured as a solo performer in Franklin Graham's "Rock the Lakes", "Rock the Range", and "Rock the River" evangelistic tours throughout mid-August and late September 2011 where she gave her testimony and sang two songs – a self-written song entitled "The Reason", and an acoustic version of "Born Again" by Third Day. Sturm performed at most "Rock the Lakes" and "Rock the River" events again in 2012.[25]
Shortly after giving birth to her second son in August 2013, Sturm embarked on a nationwide speaking tour with Nick Hall of PULSE, a Twin Cities-based nonprofit organization. The ResetMovement is described on their website as empowering a generation to live fully for Jesus.[26]
Sturm was a guest vocalist on the 2013 track "Take the Bullets Away" by We as Human.[27]
In September 2014 Sturm published her first book, an autobiography, titled The Reason: How I Discovered a Life Worth Living.[28]
It was announced in March 2016 that her second book titled The Mystery: Finding Love in a World of Broken Lovers would be available in October 2016.[15]
On October 13, 2014 Lacey announced via social media that she had a new band that was being put together. "[We're working on] solo project and we are calling it Lacey. The brilliant drummer Tom Gascon, amazing bassist Ben Hull, my husband Josh Sturm who's an awesome guitarist and I have written some of my favorite heavy rock songs ever. And we will be rocking them for you tomorrow night! I can't wait!"[29] The band premiered October 2014 at The Blind Tiger in Greensboro, North Carolina.[30][31]
Her debut solo album, Life Screams, was released in 2016 opening at No. 74 on the Billboard 200, topping the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart, No. 7 on Alternative Albums and No. 8 on Top Rock Albums.[2] In 2017, Sturm toured with American hard rock band Letters from the Fire.[32]
In March and April 2018, Sturm plans to tour with Red, Righteous Vendetta and Messer.[33][34]
Personal life[edit]
On September 6, 2008, she married Joshua Sturm, the guitarist for the band Kairos, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[35] The couple have three sons together.

This cute little vignette from Pigment in San Diego. I really like the idea of rugs that aren't really aligned with anything (as seen above), or 2 or more rugs layered on top of each other.
Brass pineapple canisters. What a weird little bunch of knick knacks. I love me some quirky accessories. One or two of these would be great in a home office to hold paper clips and things like that.
I bought myself a few gifts at Anthropologie on Mother's Day. One of them was this Sweet Almond candle, which smells better than it sounds. The smell is creamy, warm, and just slightly sweet. Even when it's not burning, I can smell it, and when I get home from work and open the front door it smells faintly of this candle inside. I think it's a new favorite.
I also treated myself to a few new vintage brooches. I should post an update on my brooch collection. I've added some really cool new pieces!
I read a lot of blogs, and rarely does something on a blog inspire me as much as this recent post on DesignLoveFest did on throwing a backyard summer "mixology" party. Every single image was pin-worthy, including the 2 above (via designlovefest).
Sanibel placemat from Anthropologie.
These ceramic vessels by Up In The Air Somewhere feel so super summery.
And finally, even though I don't have a photo to share, we made this creme brulée french toast a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. If you try it, make sure you use awesome bread. We used a big, hearty loaf of French bread, cut into thick slices. It soaks overnight and then gets baked in the oven in the morning. Easiest thing ever.

Tan Pin Pin's 'To Singapore, With Love' film was banned because it contains lies, says Yaacob Ibrahim
XINMSN News, 7 Oct 2014
Tan Pin Pin's To Singapore, With Love is not a historical documentary presenting a factual account, Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim told Parliament on Tuesday (Oct 7). The film's "one-sided portrayals" are designed to "evoke feelings of sympathy and support for individuals" who in reality chose to leave Singapore and remain in self-exile, he added.
Dr Yaacob said the film gives a misleading account of these individuals' past, and makes no attempt to present an objective account of the violent Communist insurrection that they had participated in and have not renounced. Full story
Screening banned film in Singapore would be 'condoning' violence used by group: Yaacob - Yahoo! News Singapore

Chantal de Wit on 10/29/2011
I stayed in the Monarch only one night (Oct 22nd till Oct 23rd) due to bed bugs.
We had booked the hotel for six nights, but after waking up and checking the bed and find the bad wants of bug and saw the smears of blood, which must be mine...I went crazy. I took pictures, collected the bugs and thought I had killed them, but then it started walking again I panicked and throw the paper and bugs in the toilet. I went downstairs to talk to the receptionist. The manager was there also and I told t
hem that I was in a sort of shock finding the bugs in my bed. His (the manager) first repsonse was: that cannot be the case. When I showed him the pictures he said: you could have taken those anywhere! I was stunned by his reaction! No sympathy, no excuses, no nothing at all! he said: let's have a look at the bed. I said: ok, now? No he said, he first had to go to his car to pick something up??. I needed a coffee very badly, felt awfull due the bugs and his reaction and said to him, fine, I will be accross the street to drink a coffee.
Called my parents who staued in another room and they came to the coffee bar right away and after the coffee we went back to the manager. We checked the bed, which was no bug fee, no warm human body to snack from... but the sheet was clearly not clean. About the blood smears the manager said: you could have scratched yourself. He denied the fact that I had found the bugs and that there were any in his hotel.
We told him that we would check out and find another hotel. Another room was not an option. The idear that the bugs had bite me and that it could happen again freaked me out.
3 nights were refunded for both our rooms. So 2 nights payed for nothing. The same day our hotel booking company sent us an e-mail asking for the reason of us leaving the hotel so unexpectedly. And gave us a call a day later and told us that the hotel manager stated that he refunded 5 night per room. Which was not true. Our booking company would look into the matter and is trying to resolve this. Still under invest.
The other hotel we booked for the rest of our San Francisco stay was clean, nice and free of bed bugs.
Best regards,
Dan on 05/10/2011
Through the dates of April 14th - 16th, in room 416, My girlfriend & I stayed at the Monarch. On the last night, several welts made an appearance on my forearms and back. The next night, the welts turned red and became rather itchy. The night hence-after, the number of bites multiplied and became a burden about my body. A few small bugs discovered lounging around my room and an outside study of my bite marks confirmed that bed bugs were the instigators. My girlfriend received milder symptoms, bu
t suffered from the wee-vampire marks nonetheless. In the future, I recommend searching-out the parasites upon entry to any hotel room. Bring a flashlight and insist on a bed-bug-less environment.
nicole on 04/21/2011
on april 21st I woke up at 6am to see about ten bugs in the bed. I brought a bug to the front desk so they could see and got my room changed.
No nearby bug reports

1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours station wagon
Pictures courtesy owner
Mike Turrentine
of Ontario, CA USA
More info from Mike: "This is another one of my wagons, a one-owner wagon which is original except for a few modifications like a mildly built 327/325hp with a TH350 trans, a Holley 750cfm double pumper, and an RV cam. The rims are original but are reverse offset and widened 2" and fully chromed back in 1967. It has front and rear sway bars and a posi rear end. The wood siding was removed but the molding remained. The interior is bone stock and not faded, with no rips, tears, or cracks. It has only 112,000 miles and is still fast and solid!"

Why is Apple such a pervasive brand?
If they had a secret recipe for how they do their marketing, wouldn't you like to be a fly on that boardroom wall?
Well, fortunately for you and me, Apple isn't exactly secretive about their marketing strategies. These strategies are present for all to see, and if we don't learn from the best, we can never hope to achieve the same level of success.
First, there's a clear purpose in what they produce, claim and advertise. Apple doesn't beat around the bush about why you should use their products. In fact, it's the first thing they tell you in their ads!
Your takeaway lesson? Act with a purpose or don't act at all.
Second, Apple adheres to a strict principle of simplicity. They want you to understand that convenience and minimalism are the keys to the lifestyle they're selling you.
Your takeaway lesson? Keep it simple, Super simple!

Knitting on 15's ain't bad either!
I finally decided Nan had just turned out way too big. So I bit the bullet, frogged the entire thing and re-knit it. It only took 5 days! It really is fun knitting with these gigantic needles 🙂
So, here are pics of the new, improved Nan:
Much, much better! I've been wearing this quite a bit. Only thing is, the yarn sheds a bit, so it's not great for wearing over dark colors, but other than that, it's perfect!

CHEN Shengchang – Biography
Mr. Chen Shengchang is a research fellow, professor, and vice president cum secretary general of the Chinese Association of Productivity Science (CAPS). He is also post-doctoral mentorat Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Tehua Postdoctoral Program, honorary president of Beijing Film Academy's School of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as executive vice president of The Chinese Academy of Productivity Science at Southwest University for Nationalities.
Graduated from the Department of Economics at Peking University in 1964, Mr. Chen was deputy director of Research Office of the Economic Research Institute at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.He was editor-in-chief ofEconomic Research Journal, Mayors' Reference Journal, and Modernization Journal, and alsoeditorial director of Almanac of China's Urban Economy and Society. He participated in theeconomic structure survey organized by the State Council in 1979,and alsoin anational key project – "China's Economy 2000" – which won a StateScience and Technology First-classAward.
Mr. Chen's research focuses on issues of industrial structure, economies of scale, and economic globalization. Some of his published works are: Introduction to the World's New Technological Revolution, Experts' Discussions on Knowledge Economy, and Knowledge Economy Reader.
Hisnumerousother published worksinclude: China's Industrial Structure, co-authored with Sun Shangqing, andEconomics of Productivity, co-authored with Xiao Liang. Heparticipated in the research, writing and editing of China's Economic Structure Research co-edited by Ma Hong and Sun Shangqing, and Discussions on Economic Structure Policies edited by Sun Shangqing – his works in the latter book earned him a Sun Yefang Award. Mr. Chen had participated and was deputy editor-in-chief of Ministry of Transportation's Highway Construction and Management, and China Association for Science and Technology's Driving Force of the World; Driving Force of the World was selected one of the 100 patriotic education books by five ministries including Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee.
Mr. Chen is also organizer of important academic activities. In 1998, he led the organization of "Knowledge Economy Forum" – which held five large-scale seminars – wherehe was the host and also director of the organizing committee. In 2001, he was the key organizer for the Beijing session of the 12th World Productivity Congress,and he was also deputy director cum secretary general of the Congress Organizing Committee. He edited and published "The Creation of Wealth through a System of Connected Economies" detailing Congress activities together with a collection of essays about productivity.
During the 12th World Productivity Congress held in Beijing in 2001, then vice-premier Wen Jiabao spoke at the Congress and suggested that "Chinese Association of Productivity Science, World Confederation of Productivity Science (WCPS), and productivity science organizations around the world should continue in-depth studies in productivity development." After the Congress, CAPS established a Chinese Productivity Science Development Research Group led jointly by Mr. Chen and Li Jingwen. In 2006, "China's Productivity Development Research Study Report" was submitted to Premier Wen who provided the followingwritteninstructions: "can be transferred to NDRC and other departments for reference and, research." Mr. Chen served as deputy group leader of the Study's general report, and presided over the "Research on China's Urbanization" sub-study. Currently, follow-up studies still continue, in which Mr. Chen serves as secretary general of the steering committee, and deputy head of the general group. He also presides over a number of research topics undertaken by the group, including "Early 21st Century China's Mutually Beneficial Southward-Focused Productivity Cooperation and Development Strategy – Productivity Development Research: Yunnan for Southeast Asia and South Asia", which earned significant written instructions by Premier Wen. Another report on "Recommendations on Grass Industry Development" also resulted in significant written instructions by Premier Wen; as a result, the central government allocated special annual funding of RMB 13.6 billion from 2011 to 2015 to support eight major grassland provinces (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia and Yunnan) as well as the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to establish a full system of grassland ecological protection subsidy incentives.
October 8-10, 2006, CAPS successfully hosted the 14th World Productivity Congress; Mr. Chen served as deputy director and secretary general of the China Organizing Committee, one of the key organizers of the Congress. This World Productivity Congress was held in the city of Shenyang with great success – it was attended by some 1200 well-known experts, scholars, entrepreneurs and government officials from all over the world. Premier Wen subsequently met with leaders of WCPS and CAPS in Beijing on October 12 and fully affirmed the achievements made at the Congress. #p#分页标题#e#
Mr. Chen Shengchang also actively participated in exchange activities organized by world productivity science organizations. He participated in the 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th World Productivity Congress. In 2005, he was elected and serving since as director of World Confederation of Productivity Science and vice president of World Academy of Productivity Science, diligently contributing to world productivity development.

H. M. Hamill (Howard Melancthon), 1847-1915
The Old South, a Monograph
Dallas, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.: Smith & Lamar, Agents, Publishing House of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, [1904].
Howard M. Hamill was born in Lowndesboro, Alabama in 1847. His father, who was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, made sure that Hamill received a rigorous education. Hamill attended East Alabama College and received both his bachelor's and master's degree there. After teaching in Missouri, in 1881 he became the superintendent of public schools in Jacksonville, Illinois. In 1885 he became a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, but three years later he turned his attention to Sunday schools and devoted the rest of his professional life to improving the training of Sunday school teachers. Hamill organized and became superintendent of the Illinois State Sunday School Association. He published many books related to his profession, including Legion of Honor: Textbook for Sunday School Teachers (published in five different languages), The Bible and its Books, The Sunday School Teacher, Sunday School Teacher Training and several others. He also wrote his memoir, The Old South, and published several poems. He was married twice, to Gertrude Dillon of Alabama in 1870, and to Ada Tuman of Illinois in 1885. Hamill and Ada traveled to Japan for a six-month tour in 1907. Hamill died in Tennessee in 1915.
The Old South, a Monograph [1904], recounts the social life and customs of the antebellum South. Hamill begins by attributing his moral character to his upbringing in the old South. He calls Jamestown, rather than Plymouth Rock, the "matrix of American liberty" and points to the statesmanship of southern politicians and the military leadership of southern officers as examples of southern excellence. He discusses social stratification of the antebellum South and argues that the "poor white" class as it is caricatured in literature is not an accurate portrayal of the white lower classes. Hamill also asserts that aristocrats and slaves had a happy relationship, and that African Americans who were raised in slavery are more cultured and respectable than those who were born free. He then discusses the qualities that distinguish the antebellum southern aristocracy—significant, sustainable wealth, devotion to family heritage, and a high code of honor. He refutes the critics of the old South's culture, who said there were few prominent southern literary figures, by pointing out the great literary figures and statesmen the region had produced. Lastly, he notes that Christianity is devotedly practiced in the South, yet at the same time there is an unparalleled spirit of religious tolerance.

A trailing stop order provides flexibility over a stop order by executing once the market goes against you by a defined price, called the price distance. When margin trading, a trailing stop sell order can be used to protect profit.
Example: If the trader is in a long position and the current market price is 250 after a quick rise from 225, a trader can set a trailing stop with a price distance of 5. This will create a sell stop order at 245. As opposed to a normal stop order, if the market price continues to rise to 275, then the trailing stop rises accordingly, always staying 5 behind the market price; rising to 270 in this example.
The stop price trails behind the market price by the amount specified as price distance and allows for a stop to adjust to the market if the market moves in a profitable direction. If the stop is triggered, a market order is placed.

Despite a rough offseason lowlighted by a series of player defections, Chiefs GM John Dorsey isn't about to stray from his longterm plan to rebuild the program
The Chiefs were one of the surprise stories of the 2013 season. After posting a 2–14 record in '12, coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey tweaked the roster enough to usher in a nine-game improvement and the franchise's second playoff berth since 2006.
There were a lot of good things to build off. And with players entering the second year in Reid's offense, and the attacking 3-4 defense of coordinator Bob Sutton, a program of sustained success—a hallmark of Reid's Eagles teams—was set to take off.
Then free agency started, and the Chiefs were raided. LT Branden Albert, OGs Jon Asamoah and Geoff Schwartz, safeties Quintin Demps and Kendrick Lewis, defensive linemen Tyson Jackson and Jerrell Powe, linebacker Akeem Jordan and versatile offensive threat Dexter McCluster all exited.
The Chiefs, who were on the lower end of the salary cap list before free agency with just over $9 million available, didn't really have much of a choice in letting those players go. The seven players they signed are mostly of the journeyman variety. But Dorsey isn't deterred.
"It's always tough," Dorsey said Thursday. "You need depth to compete in this league. As you go along with this thing, you have to establish the culture. You have to get players that you want, that will come and compete on a daily basis, be proud to come here as a Kansas City Chief. Not saying those guys weren't, [but] that's why you have to be able to manage and balance that cap and look out and forecast. The guys we lost, I think we've done a nice job in terms of replacing them at a lower [cap] number but with the same production."
I think we're getting faster. It's not your dad's NFL anymore. The field is stretched out so far… I don't think you can have enough of those guys.
The departures also meant that the Chiefs needed to do some work in the draft. That's why it was a bit of a surprise when they selected Auburn end Dee Ford, who projects to outside linebacker in the Chiefs' scheme, 23rd overall instead of finding help in the secondary or at receiver. Outside linebacker was one position where Kansas City seemed secure, with Tamba Hali (second-team All-Pro) and Justin Houston (21 sacks in past 27 games). But Hali turned 30 earlier this month, and his contract finishes with a $12 million cap number in '15. And the Chiefs saw the effect of not having adequate depth. Both Hali and Houston missed time during the second half of the season and the Chiefs' pass rush (and defense, overall) fell off a cliff.
"I think in today's NFL you need not just two, [but] multiple pass rushers to continually apply pressure," Dorsey said.
Dorsey also didn't want to lose Ford, who was one of the few proven pass rushers in a weak draft at that position. Dorsey admitted he didn't have enough ammunition to go up and get a Khalil Mack (fifth overall to Oakland). He also declined options to move back.
"When you weigh the compensation against the value of the player, I thought the player would be the better pick," he said. "And we had heard some rumors that people were trying to move up to get Dee Ford too, so I didn't want to move back too far."
Last August after a training camp practice at Missouri Western State University, Dorsey acknowledged that a lack of speed on both sides of the ball were a problem he was aiming to rectify. Ford, third-round cornerback Phillip Gaines (4.38 speed in the 40-yard dash) and fourth-rounder De'Anthony Thomas, a McCluster replacement, all fit that bill.
"I think we're getting faster," Dorsey said. "We'll continue looking for that. It's not your dad's NFL anymore. The field is stretched out so far, everybody runs and is so athletic in today's game… I don't think you can have enough of those guys in either Andy's offense or Bob's defense."
It is curious, however, that they declined to address receiver in free agency or the draft. In addition to Dwayne Bowe—Dorsey said he is in "magnificent" shape—the Chiefs maintained the status quo with Donnie Avery, A.J. Jenkins, Weston Dressler and Junior Hemingway. Dorsey's OK with that, provided that 2013 third-round tight end Travis Kelce is healthy after missing nearly his entire rookie season following microfracture surgery on his knee.
"The way that group started to come on towards the end, and getting used to the offense, you could see that they were beginning to understand their roles and what they were supposed to do," Dorsey said. "It's going to be a collective effort. And the emergence of a Travis Kelce being able to stretch the field as a tight end, hopefully that weapon adds another element to the passing game. We took some nicks at the tight end position last year."
One player to keep an eye on during Chiefs camp: sixth-round offensive lineman Laurent (Larry) Duvernay-Tardif, a 6-5, 315-pound Canadian collegiate prospect who caught Dorsey's eye at the East-West Shrine Game. While Duvernay-Tardif wasn't invited to the combine, his pro day testing numbers would have been near the top had he been. He's one of the top Canadian prospects to ever enter the NFL.
"He's an extremely gifted athlete," Dorsey said. "You watch him on film and you see his athleticism, his toughness. He's going to need a little work as far as a technical understanding of the pro game, but that won't be for lack of effort. That guy is wearing the coaches out already… he wants to know everything and why."
The Chiefs surprised many last season when they went from the AFC West basement to challenging the Broncos for the division title. That may have technically been the first year of the Reid-Dorsey regime, but after a forced reset of the roster this offseason, the real program building starts now. The Chiefs may be hard-pressed to live up to last year's success, but Reid and Dorsey have a plan and they're sticking to it.
Painkiller Lawsuit
As you may have heard, eight retired players filed a lawsuit against the league alleging the NFL and its teams routinely issued painkillers and other narcotics without prescriptions and without warning the players about the potential for addiction and side effects, some of which have impacted their lives long after football. It could become a class-action suit, similar to the concussion issue, which is still winding its way through the court system.
My first reaction: This is much ado about nothing. In the event the lawsuit is not dismissed for the reasons laid out by colleague Michael McCann, the league will likely settle for what amounts to peanuts for the 32-team league, which is a billion-dollar monster of business. Just like the concussion lawsuit.
My second reaction is, If these players have a problem with the medical advice given by a specific doctor, why are they not suing that individual doctor? What does the league have to do with it (besides the obvious deep pockets)? If I have a problem with the actions of one of my doctors, I sue him or her specifically. They're the one looking over my chart and making decisions, not the hospital or HMO they work under. According to the AP, Bears offensive lineman Keith Van Horne, "played an entire season on a broken leg and wasn't told about the injury for five years," and alleges in the lawsuit that he was fed a constant diet of pills to deal with the pain. Van Horne is one of three former Bears in the lawsuit. Sure sounds like those Bears players have an issue with the Bears' team doctor at the time and/or the team. When former Bears fullback Merril Hoge thought the care provided to him concerning a concussion was inadequate, he successfully sued then-Bears team doctor John "Jay" Munsell in 1996—not the Bears nor the NFL. Why should these other players be any different?
Another point: From the concussions to this painkiller lawsuit, where is the Players' Association in all of this? The players paid dues to an organization to protect them from being unfairly treated by teams and the league. Yet, in the two biggest health threats to former players, the NFLPA apparently did absolutely nothing to protect them. All of this happened long before DeMaurice Smith was elected as NFLPA executive director in 2009, but the union should no longer skate on their responsibility in this. Previous NFLPA leaders were elected and paid to protect the players and they obviously failed. That's not the NFL's fault.
Do I think that NFL teams and the doctors they employed pushed players to take painkillers before this century without explaining the possible side effects? In most cases, yes. But if the NFL had strict no-pressure guidelines and clearly laid out the possible side effects, do I think a majority of the players still would have taken anything the doctors put in front of them to get on the field? Yes, I do. The players are warriors who only care about three things during the short time they have to compete in the NFL: playing, winning and money. The order depends on the player.
Take how former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher shrugged off potential painkiller side effects to the Chicago Tribune two years ago:
"First of all, we love football," said Urlacher, who didn't take any Toradol injections or pills this season. "We want to be on the field as much as we can be. If we can be out there, it may be stupid, it may be dumb, call me dumb and stupid then, because I want to be on the football field."
Never mind the argument about personal responsibility, that nothing can be put into your body unless you allow it. Now, if a specific doctor lied to players about side effects, that's a different argument and, absolutely, the players should take action against that doctor. But to target the NFL itself? That seems shaky to me and smells like a money grab by players looking to piggyback on the concussion issue, which had a viable argument concerning the NFL possibly covering up well-known issues.
Nickel Package
1) Sorry, but Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis got what he deserved when he was suspended four games after testing positive for a banned substance. Mathis said the positive test was triggered by a fertility drug prescribed to him by a doctor with hopes of conceiving another child with his wife. First of all, the prescribing doctor, Steven Morganstern, is a urologist and not a fertility doctor. There is nothing about fertility on his web page. Secondly, it's extremely suspicious that a veteran NFL player like Mathis would take anything without informing the Colts' trainer, team doctor, the NFLPA or the NFL. And, in case Mathis forgot, Clomid is specifically listed under banned substances in the league's steroid policy. If Mathis truly needed to take the medicine (his wife is pregnant again), there are protocols in place to allow it if the player fills out the proper paperwork ahead of time. Mathis didn't do anything and got caught. He has only himself to blame.
2) It is way too early to criticize commissioner Roger Goodell for what kind of discipline he may or may not enact when it comes to Ravens running back Ray Rice (domestic violence) and Colts owner Jim Irsay (suspicion of driving while intoxicated, possession of a controlled substance). Goodell almost always waits until a case has run its course before coming down with punishment, unless something else forces his hand. Rice's case just finished, and Irsay's is still going.
3) It's time to make a deal with NFL teams: You guys can go and sign whatever character risks you want, like the Packers did this week with former University of Oregon tight end Colt Lyerla, but we never, ever want any coach, owner or front office representative to opine about how they value character and leadership and all those other empty descriptive phrases like "Packer people." Every NFL team is the same. If talent is flashed in front of their eyes, they're blind to the rest of the concerns. That's fine, as long as you own it.
4) I understand the frustration of Texans veteran receiver Andre Johnson, who said that he's tired of losing and wasn't sure if he wanted to go through another rebuild with a third head coach. A player of his stature is entitled to that. But he has to know the Texans are not that far away, and that the contract he signed basically precludes the Texans from trading him.
5) The more I hear from Browns general manager Ray Farmer, the more I like. Fans think he should be desperate for receiver help, with Josh Gordon possibly suspended for the season. Farmer issued his reply on 92.3 The Fan, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer: "I would say, How important are those guys?" Farmer said. "Name the last big-time receiver to win a Super Bowl. Name the last mega-guy. (Gordon) matters to me because I like the guy and I think he's a really good player, but at the end of the day, when you look at the teams that have these mega-receivers, name the last guy that won a Super Bowl... There are none. The last guy that really helped his team get there was T.O. (Terrell Owens)."

Lou Teicher, half of the piano duo Ferrante & Teicher, whose florid and sentimental versions of movie themes and love songs made them gods of easy listening and earned them wide popularity beginning in the 1960s, died on Sunday in Highlands, N.C. He was 83 and lived in Sarasota, Fla.
The cause was heart failure, said Scott W. Smith, Ferrante & Teicher's manager.
A classically trained pianist who was something of a prodigy, Mr. Teicher was a musician of extraordinary dexterity, the speed and clarity of his and his partner's playing being among their crowd-pleasing qualities. The two met as children at the Juilliard School of Music, and their friendship became a professional team in the mid-1940s. Eventually, with their hit recordings of the themes from the films "The Apartment" and "Exodus," and "Tonight," from "West Side Story," among others, they became known as "the movie theme team." And for their appearances onstage or on television in matching flashy outfits and at the keyboards of imposing instruments, they were called "the grand twins of the twin grands."
Louis Milton Teicher was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Aug. 24, 1924. By the time he was 6, his family was living in New York City, and young Lou was enrolled at Juilliard. His future partner, Arthur Ferrante, then 9, was already there. Mr. Teicher graduated in 1940 and received an advanced degree in 1943. Both he and Mr. Ferrante joined the faculty. They began performing together in 1947, initially as a purely classical duo.
Eventually, of course, they became famous for a kind of virtuosic kitsch: grandiose, emotional playing, embellished with glissandi, spectacular arpeggios and a back-and-forth communication that often made it seem as if the pianos themselves were conversing.
"Although we were two individuals, at the twin pianos our brains worked as one," Mr. Ferrante, now 86, said in a statement after Mr. Teicher's death.
Playing alone or with orchestras, with a wide repertory of pop tunes, show music, movie themes and modernized classical scores, the two men performed more than 5,200 concerts; made more than 200 television appearances; entertained Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan; and from 1951 to 2001 recorded about 150 albums, the last dozen or so for their own recording company, somewhat paradoxically called Avant-Garde Records.Continue reading the main story
Actually, in the early days of their partnership, they did have experimental tendencies. Influenced by John Cage, they made several recordings with "prepared pianos," that is, pianos with objects like cardboard wedges, rubber stops and sandpaper inserted among the strings to create a variety of unexpected sounds. This was in the 1950s, when, in addition to making what they called their gimmick recordings, they were playing 100 or so concert dates a year. At the time, they appeared in small community halls where the programming was strictly classical and they performed two-piano arrangements of works by composers from Bach to Rachmaninoff.
Mr. Teicher is survived by his wife, Betty; three children, Richard, of Linden, N.J., Susan, of Urbana Ill., and David, of Westport, Conn.; and four grandchildren.
It was in 1959 that the producer Don Costa moved from ABC Records to United Artists, taking Ferrante and Teicher with him. There the two capitalized on the record company's affiliation with a movie company; Mr. Costa was being sent the scores from United Artists films, and when he received the theme from "The Apartment," he brought it to the two pianists; it became their first big hit.
"All of a sudden," said Mr. Smith, their manager, "they'd show up at some small theater, or a church or wherever they were supposed to play, and people would be lined up outside the doors to get in, and they'd be saying, 'Are you going to play 'The Apartment'?' " Mr. Smith added: "And they'd say, 'No, we're going to play Bach and Tchaikovsky.' And the people would say, 'But we came to hear 'The Apartment!' Literally overnight, they had to come up with a whole new two-hour program. They said, 'People think we're pop stars!' "Continue reading the main story
