Copenhagen climate talks deadlocked; Police fire pepper spray, beat protesters; 230 detainedBy Charles J. Hanley, AP

Climate talks deadlocked as clashes erupt outside
COPENHAGEN — The 10-day-old climate talks ran into disputes and paralysis as they entered a critical stage Wednesday, just two days before President Barack Obama and more than 100 other national leaders hope to sign a historic agreement to fight global warming.
Poorer nations stalled the talks in resistance to what they saw as efforts by the rich to impose decisions falling short of strong commitments to reduce greenhouse gases and to help those countries hurt by climate change. Conference observers said, however, that negotiators still had time to reach agreements.
Outside the meeting site in Copenhagen's suburbs, police fired pepper spray and beat protesters with batons as hundreds of demonstrators sought to disrupt the 193-nation conference, the latest action in days of demonstrations to demand "climate justice" — firm steps to combat global warming. Police said 260 protesters were detained.
Earlier, behind closed doors, negotiators dealing with core issues debated until just before dawn without setting new goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions or for financing poorer countries' efforts to cope with coming climate change, key elements of any deal.
"I regret to report we have been unable to reach agreement," John Ashe of Antigua, chairman of one negotiating group, told the conference.
In those talks, the American delegation apparently objected to a proposed text it felt might bind the United States prematurely to reducing greenhouse gas emissions before Congress acts on the required legislation. U.S. envoys insisted, for example, on replacing the word "shall" with the conditional "should."
Later, faced with complaints from developing nations about such changes, the Danish leaders of the talks crafted what they hoped would be a compromise text. Even before that was circulated, however, the unhappy nations — the Group of 77 and China — met separately to decide on a position.
"They are unhappy about these texts being handed to them from above," an African delegate said outside the meeting, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
The latest dispute highlighted the undercurrent of distrust developing nations have for the richer countries in the long-running climate talks. But veteran observers said it was too early to give up on the talks, which are supposed to end Friday with Obama and the other leaders approving a final agreement.
"A lot of things are in play," said Fred Krupp of the U.S. Environmental Defense Fund. "This is the normal rhythm of international negotiations."
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez echoed the protesters' sentiments when he told the assembly: "If the climate was a bank, a capitalist bank, they would have saved it."
There were some steps forward, too. The United States, Australia, France, Japan, Norway and Britain pledged $3.5 billion in the next three years to a program aimed at protecting rain forests. The U.S. portion was $1 billion.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the money would be available for developing countries that come up with ambitious plans to slow and eventually reverse deforestation — an important part of the talks because it's thought to account for about 20 percent of global greenhouse emissions.
The talks so far have been marked by sharp disagreements between China and the United States, and between rich and poor nations. Still unresolved are the questions of emissions targets for industrial countries, billions of dollars a year in funding for poor countries to contend with global warming, and verifying the actions of emerging powers like China and India to ensure that promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are kept.
Addressing the full conference, Swedish Environment Minister Andreas Carlgren, speaking for the European Union, urged the U.S. and China to raise their emissions-reduction targets.
"The world needs more and we are confident that you have the ability to deliver more," he said of the two countries.
After nine days of largely unproductive talks, the lower-level delegates were handing off the disputes to environment ministers in the two-week conference's critical second phase.
Connie Hedegaard, a former Danish climate minister, resigned from the conference presidency to allow Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen to preside as a higher-ranking official at the formal Wednesday-Friday segment involving heads of state and government. She was to continue overseeing closed-door negotiations.
Organizers still hope to break deadlocks that threaten to leave the meeting with no major accomplishments to be presented to Obama, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and the other leaders arriving for Friday's finale.
The lack of progress disheartened many, including small island states threatened by rising seas.
"We are extremely disappointed," said Ian Fry of the tiny Pacific nation of Tuvalu. "I have the feeling of dread we are on the Titanic and sinking fast. It's time to launch the lifeboats."
Others were far from abandoning ship. "Obviously there are things we are concerned about, but that is what we have to discuss," Sergio Barbosa Serra, Brazil's climate ambassador, told The Associated Press. "I would like to think we can get a deal, a good and fair deal."
Governments had weeks ago given up hope of concluding a finished treaty at Copenhagen and aimed instead at establishing a framework for negotiating more formal agreements next year.
Much of the uncertainty in the Copenhagen talks stems from how slowly the first U.S. legislation to cap carbon dioxide emissions is moving through Congress. Passage of a U.S. climate change bill is expected no earlier than next spring — and many other nations are unwilling to make their final commitments until the U.S. does.
A sponsor of that climate legislation, U.S. Sen. John Kerry, a Democrat from Massachusetts, was not discouraged about the fitful negotiations.
"My sense is we can get this done," he told the AP as he visited the conference.
Hundreds of protesters marched on the suburban Bella Center, where lines of riot police waited in protective cordons. Some demonstrators said they wanted to take over the global conference and turn it into a "people's assembly." As they approached police lines, they were hit with pepper spray. TV pictures showed a man being pushed from a police van's roof and struck with a baton by an officer.
Tens of thousands rallied in the Danish capital last weekend, demonstrating growing public awareness of the worldwide danger of ever-rising temperatures. Scientists say global warming will lead to the extinction of plant and animal species, the flooding of coastal areas from rising seas, more extreme weather, more drought and more widespread diseases.
The draft texts being debated behind closed doors hinge on four key issues, with negotiating views generally divided between rich nations and developing ones:
— Emissions. Industrialized nations are under pressure to cut back even more on emissions of carbon dioxide and other global-warming gases, while major developing countries such as China and India are being pressed to rein in emissions growth. Environmentalists and poorer nations say richer countries should reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent or more by 2020, compared with 1990 levels, to avoid serious climate damage. The EU has pledged 20 percent, and possibly 30 percent. The U.S. has offered only a 3 percent to 4 percent cut.
— Financing. Richer nations have discussed a "prompt-start" package of $10 billion a year for three years to help developing nations adjust to the impact of global warming and switch to clean energy. Developing nations want to see commitments by wealthy nations for years more of long-term climate aid financing. Expert studies say hundreds of billions of dollars will be needed each year, and the developing nations are trying to establish stable revenue sources, such as a global aviation tax.
— Monitoring. The U.S. and developed nations want some kind of international verification of emissions actions by developing nations. China, India and others are resisting what they consider potential intrusions on their sovereignty.
— Legal Form. For Europe, Japan and other developed nations, new, deeper emissions cuts will take the form of an extension of quotas under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The U.S., which rejected Kyoto and wants to remain outside it, is likely to be included in a separate package that also deals with major developing countries. The level of legal obligation on each "track" may vary, particularly since the big developing countries — China and India — do not want to be bound by any international treaty to carry out their pledges of emission cuts. They prefer voluntary goals.

An ambitious plan to replace the aging network of public pay-phones across the City with high-speed, free and public Wi-Fi hotspots
was just unveiled. The City's new program is called LinkNYC and plans to offer free gigabit internet with no
cost to taxpayers and no usage fees, rather it will be funded through advertising revenues.
Construction of the LinkNYC network will begin in 2015 and the first structures will become operational by year-end.

Cannabis and Medical Marijuana have a long history of use by mankind. It has been valued for hundreds of years for its qualities as:
• A Source of Fiber
•Medication and Dietary Supplement
• A Recreational Drug
They earliest use of marijuana can be traced back to the Chinese in 2700 BC, when it was listed in a compendium of medications.
After beginning in China, the use of marijuana gradually spread into India, Africa, and then into Europe. Marijuana was brought to North America by the earliest European settlers, probably in the form of seeds.
Spanish settlers brought the plant to South America. In both North and South America it was grown on large plantations as hemp for use in rope, clothing, and paper.
It was Widely Accepted as just Another Crop
Through the 18th and 19th centuries the cultivation of cannabis steadily grew. There is evidence that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew marijuana. In 1619 King James decreed that every colonist in America grow 100 plants specifically for export to England.

As the number of colonists increased so did the use of hemp for rope and fabric. Cannabis for medication began in the 1850s when preparations began to appear in American pharmacies. In 1907 states began making laws to prohibit the recreational use of marijuana. It appears that these laws were not intended to restrict medicinal uses.
Then the Restrictions Began
In the early 20th century many countries began enacting laws to restrict or prohibit the growing and use of cannabis. In the United States, the first laws restricting the sale of marijuana were written in 1906 in the District of Columbia.
In 1925 the International Opium Convention began passing laws regulating the import and export of hemp and any preparations derived from hemp. Interestingly, these laws did not mention the import and export of fibers which continued unabated.
Also in the United States the Marihuana Tax Act passed in 1937 prohibited the production of hemp and cannabis. Some people have claimed that this controversial law was passed in an effort to destroy the hemp industry. The development of new tools and techniques for the production of hemp made it a fast, cheap, and renewable resource for the production of paper.
A Competitor for Timber?
This placed it in direct competition with the timber industry which was also a popular source of fiber for making paper. Many wealthy people including Randolph Hearst had large timber holdings and they used their influence to stop the production of hemp.
Throughout the 1930s stricter laws began limiting the use of marijuana, hemp, and cannabis for any purpose. In the 1950s the United States Congress passed laws with mandatory sentences for the possession of marijuana. The first time conviction for the possession of cannabis had a minimum sentence of 2 to 10 years and a $20,000 fine. In 1970 these mandatory penalties were repealed.
In 1973 Oregon was the first state to decriminalize the possession of marijuana. These new laws make the possession of less than 1 ounce a misdemeanor punishable with a $100 fine. Larger fines were imposed for larger amounts and for cultivation.
California passed the first laws legalizing medicinal marijuana in 1996. When approved by a doctor, patients could grow and possess marijuana for the treatment of anorexia, chronic pain, AIDS, and other chronic conditions.
Gradually other states that began accept medical marijuana. At the time of this writing 21 states have statutes that allow qualified patients to use medical marijuana for the treatment of chronic conditions.

How does one add back in
social security benefits that were not included in income on line 20 of their 1040 to
calculate MAGI for Covered CA?
When calculating the Premium Tax Credit, (Subsidy) MAGI-Modified Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is the bottom line number on line #37 on your 1040 tax return then add back in the difference between line 20a and 20b of your 1040.
See the explanation, screen shots and references at right & below to better understand out it all works. Please note that neither I nor Covered CA give tax advise. Here's where Covered CA's advise caused someone to pay back $13k in subsidies.

Summary of what is taxable (SSA.Gov)
Some people have to pay federal income taxes on their Social Security benefits. This usually happens only if you have other substantial income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return) in addition to your benefits.
No one pays federal income tax on more than 85 percent of his or her Social Security benefits based on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules. If you:
- file a federal tax return as an "individual" and your combined income* is
- between $25,000 and $34,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits.
- more than $34,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable.
- file a joint return, and you and your spouse have a combined income* that is
- between $32,000 and $44,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits
- more than $44,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable.
- are married and file a separate tax return, you probably will pay taxes on your benefits.
+ Nontaxable interest
+ ½ of your Social Security benefits
= Your "combined income"
Each January you will receive a Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099) showing the amount of benefits you received in the previous year. You can use this Benefit Statement when you complete your federal income tax return to find out if your benefits are subject to tax.

Ministry research is collecting and analyzing information to aid in the mobilization of the Body of Christ and in strategic planning in order to faithfully carry out the Great Commission of Jesus to make disciples of all nations. The purpose of field research is to perceive what the Holy Spirit is doing and where he wants to lead the Body of Christ, so we can cooperate with Him and be used by God in his harvest. It is not for our own edification or personal advancement, but so that we may better participate in God's plans and so that He may be glorified.
Research can help us step back and look at the big picture and try to discern how we can make an impact on a region (what needs to be done to complete the Great Commission task in a neighborhood, city, country or whatever God puts on our hearts).
It also aids in building credibility when we deal with others in the Body of Christ (intercessors, donors, etc.) as well as those unbelievers we may befriend.
Research helps focus priorities for ministry (pastors, evangelists, church planters' etc. needs for training, discover what the churches need help with, find the areas least reached with the gospel, etc.)
Research can clear up confusions (particularly useful in helping direct outside resources). In many parts of the world there are stories of churches, denominations or other organizations getting a hold of good research just when they were at a crossroads in deciding how to proceed and the information made those decisions clear. Without good research, such decisions are made in a fog of confusion where what the most persuasive person thinks wins out.
Researchers also benefit greatly as we gain God's perspective.

I am sure that this year will be another exciting year and will present us with many new challenges and opportunities. I am pleased to announce, that we have refreshed the Kentech brand and that as part of this initiative we have launched our new website.

Joanne Hennigan, Kentech's Group Marketing Executive, expands on the thinking behind Kentech's new brand. Kentech was founded in 1993 and over recent years has grown both in size and stature. In 2011, the management team took the decision to embark upon a refinement of our brand image, which has now undergone a significant transformation, whilst still retaining the elements that make it identifiable to us. The new identity had to satisfy all of the existing expectations of what our original mark stands for...while simultaneously moving the brand forward.

Hi to all, and a great big welcome to my blog!
I am Shaun Bhatia, 16 years old, a foodie, and a massive fan of cooking; I just love it! Personally, I find that cooking is a very calming activity, and it helps me to destress.
I started writing this blog to provide evidence for the skills section of my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award, however it turned into a passion, and I love writing recipes to share with you all! Although my love affair with cooking started way back, when I was only young. I think it was the movie 'Ratatouille' which really sparked my interest. It was something about the wonders that could be achieved with some simple ingredients, basic equipment and a little imagination.
My Mum has been my largest inspiration as she only learned to cook after marriage, and always blows us away with such delectable cuisine, and somehow it always seems to appeal to everyone (even my sister who's a fussy eater)! If you ask my mum if she's a good cook, she will immediately say 'no!', and begin to laugh. She has a natural talent for cooking but evidently, does not realise it. My Nanima, her mum, is by no doubts a massive foodie; she has the most wonderful personality and her diabetes does not stop her from eating that last piece of 'barfi', or bar of chocolate!! The rich food always served in the Indian doesn't help either. As well as all things sweet, she also loves to indulge herself in a large helping of cholle bhature (fried bread and chickpea curry) from the sunday market.
My family love my cakes and have always been pestering me to sell my cakes to other people. So, it was only around two months ago that I started out on this small business venture. By no means has my business turned into the largest cake seller in the UK, not even Derby! None the less, I receive great pleasure when receiving smiles from happy customers. So I'd like to say thanks to all who have put their confidence in me and helped me along the way. Especially my parents who have had to put up with a small tantrum of mine each time a charred cake emerged from the oven. I know that I am not perfect, and probably never will be, but I enjoy developing my skills and learning new methods to put to the test.
An example of this would be the first time I decided to help my mum make the dinner. I wanted to help her make the roti – a traditional Indian flatbread), as they were (and still are) my most favourite thing to eat. First I tried to make the paedi (rounds of dough), but the atta (dough) kept sticking to my hands. I then decided that I would like to roll them out instead, but they too began to stick to the chakla. So I burnt my hands whilst trying to turn them over in the tava instead. lol! I haven't stopped making roti though…
I hope you enjoy the recipes that I share with you all. I love to cook, and hope you will enjoy it too. Discover the joys of Cooking and join me on my journey as I learn and embrace the art of cooking. Please let me know if you have any recipe requests! Remember stay tuned…
Hobtoplate…fresh ideas, for everyday… 🙂

{ring ring}
Ryan: Hello?
Me: Hey sweetie! How's is going?
Ryan: Oh, it's going okay…
Me: Did everything go okay at work today?
Ryan: Well….. I actually just got laid off.
Me: {shocked silence}
Ryan: And I promise I'm not kidding, I wouldn't joke about something like this…
I honestly thought it wouldn't happen to us. But that was the conversation between my husband and me last Wednesday afternoon around 4:45 pm.
So what do you do from there? Where do you start? How do you make a budget that works in the interim between jobs?
I definitely don't have all of the answers, but one thing that I do know is that I am thankful that we prepared for a job-loss possibility WAY in advance. We have consistently been living under our means and saving as much as possible for the last two years to build up our emergency fund (thanks to my mom and to Dave Ramsey for instilling that in us!)
In light of our recent experience, I would love to share with you guys a few things that have been top on our priority list this past week:
- Looking at our budget and cutting back on everything we possibly can. My husband has definitely been on top of canceling any extra services that we are able to cancel. This would also include limiting any travel to a bare minimum and encouraging family to visit you instead of traveling to visit them. 🙂
- Calling companies that we have a contract with and asking if they have any type of delayed payment program for those who have experienced a job loss. Many companies will work with you on this.
- Filing for Unemployment Benefits (do a web search for unemployment benefits in your state). In many situations, if you get laid off then you can file for unemployment benefits and receive a percentage of your salary every month. It's not anywhere close to enough to cover all of your expenses, but it certainly helps in extending your emergency fund longer.
I really can't stress enough the importance of planning ahead for a job loss. Even if you don't think that it's a possibility for your family…. we didn't think it was either.
While this job loss will definitely put a huge strain on our budget, we are excited about the potential doors that could open up ahead of us. God has been faithful thus far to lead us into exactly what we need to be doing, so we trust that He will continue to lead us. We plan and prepare, but our desire is that in our planning and preparing we stay free from worry and anxiety.
Here are a few verses from the Bible that have really encouraged me during this time. Feel free to skip over them if you aren't interested, I promise I won't be offended. But hopefully they will be an encouragement to you all as well, whether you have experienced a job loss or not!
For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. — Matthew 6:25-34 (NASB)
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 4:6-7 (NASB)
Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NASB)
For those of you who have experienced a job loss in your family, what were some of the things that you did to prepare ahead of time, and what were the steps that you took once it happened? I'd love to hear your experiences and encouragements!

I talk about different topics in my talks. They can be divided into following categories –
1 – Live Podcasts – In a live podcast, I'd be narrating a live story, which is not a part of the podcast. I also hope to do an India tour for my live podcasts in September.
2 – Talks on entrepreneurship – I quit my job in 2011 to set up my first venture – Grapevine India Publishers. Since then I have published three more books, taking the total to five, and started and failed and succeeded at several other ventures. I've had an interesting journey and it's a story worth sharing.
3 – Podcast workshops – A painful common theme in conversations I've had with people is that many people believe that podcasts are a thing of the past in India. I intend to change that and hope to impart whatever expertise is required to producer a podcast through workshops.
4 – Chill out – Yes, let's chill out.

Kuwait has delayed the enactment of a new media law after objections that it threatens freedom of expression and human rights.
The government adopted the Unified Media Law in April, which gave the information ministry power to license news outlets.
It was expected to be passed by the Kuwaiti parliament this month, but Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak, the prime minister, decided instead to consult editors and journalists after they raised concerns.
"Kuwait's prime minister deserves praise for spiking this flawed draft law," said Sarah Leah Whitson, the Middle East director at Human Rights Watch (HRW).
"As currently drafted, it would create new red lines for the media and close down the space for public debate, reversing the trend toward greater openness."
HRW believes the law would criminalise political comment, enabling the authorities to prosecute people on charges such as "insulting" public officials, "disrespecting" the constitution and "offending the emir."
Tension between the government and its opponents has intensified since June 2012, when the emir, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, suspended parliament for a month.

Using Square Brackets (Grammar Lesson)
The Quick AnswerThe main function of square brackets [ ] is to make a quoted text more understandable or to align it within a new sentence. Square brackets are used to show that the text within is not the work of the original author. For example:
- She said: "If I can't keep her [her horse], I'll scream the house down!" (Here, the text in square brackets explains her.)
- She said: "If I can't keep [my horse], I'll scream the house down!" (Here, the text in square brackets replaces her.)
- She "scream[ed] the house down" when they took her horse. (Here, the text has been modified to fit the sentence structure.)
Using Square BracketsSquare brackets [ ] are usually used to make a quoted text more understandable.
Square Brackets to Make the Text ClearerSquare brackets are used to add information that explains the text it follows. (The information is usually added by someone other than the original author.) For example:
- Hedy Lamarr once said: "Most people save all their lives and leave it [their money] to somebody else."
- "It [electricity] is really just organized lightning."
Square Brackets to Modify the Original TextOften, square brackets are used to replace text in a quote to make the quote clearer for the reader. For example:
- Hedy Lamarr once said: "Most people save all their lives and leave [their money] to somebody else."
- Alice Cooper famously said that "from the moment [he] leave[s] [his] house or hotel room, the public owns [him]."
Square Brackets: [sic]The term "[sic]" is used to show that the word it follows featured in the original text. Often, "[sic]" is used to indicate that a grammar error in the text was written by the original author. For example:
- The minister believed that his statement was "appropriate and did not undermine the moral [sic] of our troops." (should be morale not moral)
- Your demand for a "full compliment [sic] of men" cannot be met at this time. (should be complement not compliment)
Square Brackets: [...]Ellipsis is used to show text omitted from a quote. Ellipsis is usually written "..." or "[...]". For example:
- It's no small irony that the government [...] ends up promoting precisely that which they would most like to repress. (The word "inevitably and invariably" are replaced by the ellipsis.)
- Andy Warhol is the only genius...with an IQ of 60. (The ellipsis replaces the words "I've ever known" in this Gore Vidal quote.)
A Video on Using Square BracketsHere is a video summarizing how to use square brackets:
- Do you disagree with something on this page?
- Did you spot a typo?

The biggest impact Celestial Manna provides is giving back to the community.
At times in our lives, we find ourselves in need of food, clothing, or other necessities we just cannot get through government programs, our families, or friends. Nobody appreciates the level of embarrassment or humility we feel when we just cannot do it on our own– where does HELP come from?
Celestial Manna's volunteers know what it is like to be in need: the embarrassment and anguish, for most were in some kind of need themselves at one time or another. This common bond is what drives them to continue in helping others each and everyday.

Faculty of Engineering – Division of Materials, Mechanics & Structures
Fully Funded PhD Research Studentship (3 years)
Strengthening of Concrete Structures with Textile Reinforced Mortars
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship to join the growing Centre for Structural Engineering and Construction (CSEC) based in the Research Division of Materials, Mechanics and Structures (Faculty of Engineering) at the University of Nottingham, a global top 75 University. The student will work in a dynamic research environment and as part of an interdisciplinary team of researchers and will undertake research related to strengthening and seismic retrofitting of concrete structures with advanced materials.
The issue of upgrading concrete structures has been of great importance for over than 30 years or so due to their deterioration. The last may be attributed to ageing, environmental induced degradation, lack of maintenance, need for upgrading so that the existing structures will meet the current design requirements. In addition, seismic retrofit is at least equally important in high seismic risk areas. One of today's state-of-the-art techniques is the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. Despite the well-established advantages of the FRPs as a strengthening material, (high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, ease and speed of application, minimal change of cross section dimensions), the FRP strengthening technique entails a few drawbacks (poor behavior at high temperatures, high costs, inapplicability on wet surfaces or low temperatures), which are mainly attributed to the organic resins used to bind and impregnate the fibers. Recently, with the aim of addressing the above mentioned problems of FRPs, a new structural material was proposed, the so-called Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM).
This research will undertake a series of new investigations which are expecting to develop new novel applications of TRM as a strengthening material of concrete. The PhD student will be required to assist in the development and execution of experimental and computational work.
Applications are invited from students of high academic merit with a background in structural engineering who have a good experimental experience and who have or expect to graduate with a first-class degree and a MSc with distinction or equivalents.
The student will be required to work within a civil/structural engineering laboratory environment and should have a strong background in structural engineering and constructions materials. Good communication skills will also be required. The PhD student will become part of the Centre for Structural Engineering and Construction (CSEC), which carries out research across the key disciplines of structural engineering. The centre has excellent laboratory facilities.
The studentship will cover PhD tuition fees and a tax free stipend for three years (£13,590 for 2013-14 academic year) for UK/EU students. An additional £2000 a year may be awarded for students with a 1st class degree/ MSc Distinction from a UK Russell Group University or equivalent.
Informal enquiries or formal applications with a CV, a brief statement of your research interests, and the names and email addresses of two referees should be addressed to Dr Dionysios Bournas email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Please quote ref. ENG/662. This studentship will remain open until filled.

As the title of this post would suggest, Luke is getting SOOOOOOOOOOOO big!
I had to pack away more of his clothes this week and get out another group of bigger sizes!
He's starting to laugh, although what makes him laugh varies from hour to hour and he loves to sit up (assisted, of course).
Here's some exciting news... I stopped procrastinating and took my Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities Test (I'm not sure if you could really say I stopped procrastinating since I ended up taking it on the very last possible test date!) and passed (298/300)... I am now officially certified to teach by the State of Texas! I start my inservice on August 7 and I'm really excited. I've started reworking some parts of my classroom to kind of freshen things up and will post some pictures up when it's done.
Here are a few pictures from this past weekend...

To John Adams from John Jay, 4 September 1787
New York 4th. Septemr. 1787
Dr. Sir
Although I have nothing important to say or transmit, yet I cannot let the Packet sail without a few lines for you.—
I wrote to you the 31st. of July by Major Sears, and have since received yours of the 16th. June with the Contract mentioned in it—They are on the Table of Congress, but the want of an adequate Representation of the States has prevented any Thing being yet done on that or indeed any other Subject since their Arrival.—
Until the Convention rises I fear Congress will continue much in its present State, and of course many Things will be left undone which ought to be done.—
My Report respecting your Return lies in the State it was, although nothing on my part has been omitted to obtain a Decision on it—it is expressed in terms which so far as it respects yourself individually, will I flatter myself strongly evince the Esteem & Respect with which I am, / Dr. Sir, / Your most obt. & hble: Servt.—
John Jay
P.S. A Packet with Newspapers accompanies this. Be pleased to present my Compliments to Coll. Smith.
MHi: Adams Papers.

The site WTFnoway.com is getting a lot of attention (including from Business Insider) for its visualization of the American debt situation.
This is the money shot: If you stacked up our debt in $1 $100 bills, it would be a huge block bigger than the Statue Of Liberty.
It seems designed to invoke the response: WOW! Our debt is really really big, we must have a crisis!
But really, infographics like this are dangerous.
A stack of $100 bills next to the statue of liberty, overlayed on a soccer field is the least useful way imaginable of comprehending the size of the debt.
Want to get a better understanding of the debt?
Try this chart, showing the cost of servicing that debt, as a percentage of GDP. It's at multi-decade lows.
Here's another one showing that interest payments as a share of government spending are at lows we haven't seen basically ever.
Now, as a taxpayer responsible for paying that debt, this is actually a useful representation of your burden for paying it off; certainly it's far more useful than a stack of $100 bills.
The best defense of the infographic is: Well, $14 trillion is a gigantic number that's hard to wrap your head around, and that's true, but in the end, this kind of visualization just makes us more agog at the size, rather than putting them in meaningful context.
Anyway, for some more visualizations, that will actually help you understand spending and debt, see here.

Choosing an email archiving strategy
This tip outlines three potential strategies to consider for email archiving, and the benefits and drawbacks of each.
What you will learn from this tip: This tip outlines three potential strategies to consider for email archiving, and the benefits and drawbacks of each.
There are three potential strategies to consider for email archiving: in-house, hosted and hybrid.
In-house email archiving
The in-house model is just how it sounds. All required hardware and software is purchased by the customer, installed in the customer's data center and managed by the customer. The vast majority of email archiving solutions sold in the last eight years are of this type.
The most common advantages of the in-house model:
- Confidential information is kept in-house.
- The ability to customize is higher.
The most common disadvantages of the in-house model include:
- Upfront costs are much higher including hardware, software and support costs
- Time to implement is longer
- In-house resources are consumed and additional employees may need to be hired.
The in-house model is mainly for companies who prefer and have the budget and IT resources to manage their email archiving.
Hosted email archiving
In this model, a company's email, sent and received, is forwarded via VPN or other secure link to a service provider which accepts the email, indexes it and stores the email for later retrieval by the customer.
There are a number of reasons to select an outsourced archiving service. They are:
- Fast and straightforward deployment with no large out-of-pocket initial expenses.
- If customers don't like the service, they can simply decline renewing their contract (which usually runs for one to three years), rather than worry about the unwanted hardware and software sitting on their premises.
- Outsourcing is great for companies with no IT department, or a small or overstretched IT department. The service provider handles all heavy-duty aspects of administration, while the customer is left with relatively few tasks.
- By and large, outsourcers are always up-to-date with the latest releases and versions of hardware and software. The upgrade process is more painful and expensive in-house.
- Scalability and dispersed geographic locations can be more easily accommodated by outsourcers than through in-house installations.
Despite all the pros, not all companies accept these benefits. Some of the drawbacks of outsourcing expressed by companies include the following:
- Many organizations are reluctant to trust another company to manage their most sensitive and important business records.
- There is a perception that an outsourced solution is slower in search and retrieval response times.
- The hosted solution model is best for companies with a limited IT budget and IT personnel, or ones who simply like to pay as they go, rather than invest a large amount of money in the system upfront.
Hybrid email archiving
The hybrid email archiving approach combines the in-house and outsourced models. In a typical installation, an appliance is installed at the customer site which performs the capture, indexing and management of the email traffic. This email is then usually encrypted and sent to a service provider's site for secure storage. The hybrid model was originally created to offset the high cost of storage. Now, because hybrid vendors usually offer the hybrid solution via a monthly service charge, customers are offered the best of both the in-house and hosted models.
The advantages of the hybrid model include:
- Lower upfront costs than the in-house model.
- Much quicker implementation than the in-house model.
- Only the storage is offsite.
The weakness of the hybrid model is:
- Confidential emails, potentially encrypted, are kept at another company's facility.

The Britannia bar and restaurant in Kato Paphos is a popular meeting point for both expat and holiday makers, mostly Brits, who like the taste of home.

The atmosphere is relaxed is this family friendly venue.
Britannia is much more than a meeting place, with regular top notch live entertainment on most nights, including a Friday night drag act by Ms Debonair, live bands, karaoke and quiz nights.

Chef's specialities include steak and ale pie and take away dishes are also available.
If you want to steer clear of all things British while living or holidaying abroad then obviously this isn't the venue for you. But this is a fun place with a good selection of local and imported beers and wines and well-made cocktails, including all of the usual favourites. Sex on the Beach is a best seller and priced at €5.
A good variety of coffees, teas and soft drinks are also served and staff are friendly and helpful. They have a good knowledge of all things local and are a vital source of information for visiting tourists.

We didn't watch the Longhorns this weekend, we have to admit. Subjecting the country to a prime-time match-up of UT and Missouri seemed unnecessarily cruel, but such is the heartless world we live in these days.
But we're assuming two things: First, UT won, because come on, it's Missouri. And second, Colt McPick threw another interception even though come on, it's Missouri.
Let's check the box score aaaaannnnddd........there ya go. The man is consistent, you have to give him that.
Notre Dame, of course, cruised to yet another victory over a storied, nearly undefeated opponent, leaping back into the rankings and beginning the season-closing win streak that will have BCS voters desperate to put them in the title game.
As always, we offer five reasons for our headlined thesis:
1. The Aggies are better than you, Longhorns. UT got to play Texas Tech in Austin, in front of what passes for a raucous crowd at Memorial Stadium. They eked out a 10-point win. A&M, on the other hand, had to travel to the hostile environment of Lubbock, where 58,000 fans with nothing better to do in Lubbock were screaming their heads off. The Aggies won 52-30. So, through simple deductive reasoning and the time-tested transitive principle of score-comparing, UT actually lost the Tech game. At home.
2. Notre Dame beat one of the top teams in the Big East. Miami's better, sure. Georgia Tech is having a hell of a year, gotta give them that. Virginia Tech, goes without saying. But take away those schools, maybe Florida State, Clemson and Wake Forest, and Boston College is right up there when it comes to ACC teams. They are, in fact, tied for the lead in the conference's Atlantic Division, which is somehow different from the conference's Coastal Division. (Rejected division names: The North Division and the Northern Division.)
3. Notre Dame has now beaten more Catholic schools this football season than Texas, Florida and Alabama combined. And we're talking a Jesuit school. You know how good their football teams are.
4. ND won despite getting down to Plan Z in terms of receivers. While every nun in America is doing rosaries pleading that Golden Tate stays healthy, the Irish wide receiver corps was so thinned by injuries that they played a freshman from Hawaii who was only recruited because he's a close friend of the highly recruited defensive whiz Manti T'eo. Our suggestion: Use some of the team's defensive backs. They are very familiar with big pass plays.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the mission of the Houston Press. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Houston's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
5. Jimmy Clausen's inexorable march to the Heisman continued, now with video goodness. Clausen allegedly was talking trash during and before the game, a concept that is apparently utterly alien to Boston College. So afterwards, when he went to congratulate BC's star receiver, that star receiver had a hissy fit, which Clausen gave all the attention it deserved.
Colt McCoy's gesture of contempt would have been interrupted halfway through.
This weekend: Your fair and balanced correspondent gets to see Notre Dame in the flesh, in the Alamodome, as they take on the fearsome Washington State Cougars, a team that is ranked in the Top 10 of the Pac-10.

What You Can Learn
The Shoah was a crime against all humankind. Education is a key component in combating the various forms of intolerance that still regrettably persist in our world today. Our hope is that our educational efforts will not only bring darkness to light, but will fortify our collective resolve to counter intolerance in its many forms.
Warsaw, Jewish girls, stripped of everything by the Gestapo, are commanded to prepare themselves for the pleasure of Nazi soldiers. Rather than submit to this, they follow the path of martyrs who preceded them: they pour out their hearts in a final prayer and they swallow poison.
Kaddish is a true act of kindness and has been an important part of Jewish mourning rituals for centuries.

Back & Berries
I knew it had been a while since I blogged... I'm not really sure if I felt like it had "only" been six months or if these last six months felt like a lifetime. The holidays always get a bit chaotic, followed by birthdays, researching homes for a move, and then busy season at work. Somehow what I thought was going to be a hiatus through Christmas and New Years turned into six months of no real creative outlet.
Okay, maybe not "no" creative outlets. I've done a number of paintings, traveled a little, took some photos and have developed some very delicious recipes.
One of the most recent discoveries is Strawberry Mint Sorbet! So perfect for these warm (early summer) days we've had in the PNW. It's the perfect time for something cool and refreshing after a long day. This recipe is simple, four ingredients and satisfies a sweet tooth without being too heavy.
