"We want to drive forward the world of acrylic glass"
The development of PLEXIGLAS® has always involved close cooperation with customers in search of special solutions. But what is driving this evolution?
Small aquarium panels have become enormous panoramic glass tunnels, thick plates have shrunk to ultra-thin films for mobile devices – Martin Krämer, Head of the Acrylic Products division at Röhm, explains in this interview why evolution is part of the DNA of PLEXIGLAS®, why passion is so important in new projects, and how Röhm's expertise will advance the development of this material in years to come.
Mr. Krämer, inspiration is at the heart of the PLEXIGLAS® brand. But how does inspiration translate into new PLEXIGLAS® applications?
Krämer: By having many people, including outside of our company, think about what to next with our material. Many designers, architects, developers and other users are familiar with PLEXIGLAS® from previous projects – which is why they opt for our material to implement new ideas. Or they experiment with its wide range of properties because they are looking for a solution for their project and come up with something completely new. We see ourselves as innovative partners to our customers, supporting them worldwide with our market knowledge and our more than 80 years of expertise with PLEXIGLAS®.
Could you give us an example?
Krämer: The panoramic PLEXIGLAS® domes that are now available for submersible are the result of a joint development effort with our customers. In this field, everything started with small viewing windows. But our customers kept asking for larger panels. Developing these panoramic glass domes required a great deal of experimenting together since it is extremely complicated to shape a PLEXIGLAS® block into a dome that will be free of visual distortions. I always find that my employees are most passionate at work when they are required to find a solution for a specific application – no matter in which field.
Martin Krämer
…has been Head of Röhm's Acrylic Products division since 2015. The company's portfolio of semi-finished PLEXIGLAS® products makes it one of the leading manufacturers of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) worldwide. According to Krämer, the most fascinating aspects about his work include the wide range of possible applications and the production process from the raw material to the finished plate. "The production of each plate is a chemical reaction involving a multitude of different parameters. It is not like feeding something into a machine on one side and always getting the same output on the other side. The quality of our products is largely based on our employees' expertise."

How important is this constant development for the PLEXIGLAS® brand?
Krämer: It is extremely important. Evolution is what drives us. It is not in our nature to let our brand image do the work. PLEXIGLAS® is the original. We have invented it, and it is safe to say that we are the market players with the most experience. Therefore, we want to be the leading trendsetter and driving force of our industry, and we see ourselves as the partner of choice for customers who want to develop something new. This means that whenever a project involves the use of PMMA, Röhm as the leading manufacturer of polymer materials and intermediates should be the first stop for the project team.
So what makes PLEXIGLAS® so different from its competitors?
Krämer: The consistent quality, the scope of our product range, our technical expertise in material processing – and the passion for driving our customers' projects forwards. After all, you have to be passionate about what you do in order to go the extra mile to find not just any solution, but an extremely good solution. Perhaps even a solution that hasn't been seen before. We want to develop and promote the world of acrylic glass, so as to live up to our vision: "Evolution in acrylics is our passion."
Vision des Röhm Geschäftsgebiets Acrylic Products
Krämer: Our business is generally about driving evolution, not proclaiming a revolution. We are not in the business of making groundbreaking inventions week after week. Instead, we aim at constantly developing PLEXIGLAS® in close contact with our customers. Our new stretching and polishing plant, for example, which will start up in 2018, will enable us to offer larger formats of aircraft window glazing than was possible before. Aircraft manufacturers can thus increase their production efficiency and develop new designs with larger windows. Another example is our new film plant, which will also start production in 2018. The plant is truly unique from a technical perspective, for instance in terms of width of the films produced and the number of layers. These are two innovations in the world of acrylic glass that show what Röhm means by smart concepts in chemical business.

So 2018 will bring major developments for PLEXIGLAS®. Why does Röhm invest in precisely these fields?
Krämer: Because we see huge potential for growth in these two fields in the coming years, which will be strongly driven by major trends. One of these trends is mobility. In the next 20 years, many tens of thousands of airplanes will be brought into service because middle classes in countries such as China and India are growing rapidly, thus resulting in a soaring demand for air transportation. Of course, we also want to share in this trend, but we thought that our expertise makes us a perfect partner for customers in driving the development of this application further.
And what about films?
PLEXIGLAS® is the original
The family of PLEXIGLAS® products has grown substantially since Otto Röhm invented the material more than 80 years ago. The basic molecule at its heart, polymethyl methacrylate, is still the same as it was in Röhm's days. But the way the material is processed has changed. Casting and extrusion technologies have been further developed, and PLEXIGLAS® is now produced with a much broader range of additives. In addition, environmental specifications have changed considerably over the years.
Krämer: When it comes to films, urbanization is a very important topic. More and more people are living in large cities, resulting in an increasing need for housing space. PVC window profiles are protected against wind and weather by a PLEXIGLAS® film. A large portion of our material is used for this purpose. But this trend gives rise to other developments, too, such as the use of films for façade protection. Wherever façades need to be protected against heavy UV radiation, PMMA is the material of choice. This is why we are investing into a new film plant.
But sometimes trends do not develop the way we want them to ...
Krämer: That is true. It has happened a few times in the past that we had to discontinue a new PLEXIGLAS® variant. But you simply need courage for development. If you don't have that courage but sit on the fence waiting to be 100% certain of something, you will never make a decision. You have to be willing to take a well-calculated risk. It the basis of development.

NOTE: This article is not to educate you about synthetic diamonds, nor it is to present pros and cons on the subject. This is a complex subject with too many unknowns to formulate an opinion or position. The intent here is to inform our clients that synthetic diamonds do exist and you may hear more about them in the future.
Synthetic diamonds or lab-grown diamonds are nothing new, but what is new is the advancement in technology and renewed interest by the jewelry industry. The first synthetic diamond was created back in the 1950's by General Electric. The problem then was that it was cost prohibitive to produce them and they were not gem quality. With today's technology, synthetic diamonds conform to the stringent jewelry industry demands, with a lower cost and shorter production time. This has sparked tremendous interest by the lab-grown diamond manufactures around the world to offer consumers an alternative to mined diamonds. To better understand synthetic diamonds or lab-grown diamonds it is important to define them. In order to label a diamond as "synthetic", "lab-grown", or "lab-created" it must have the same optical, physical, and chemical properties as naturally mined diamonds, unlike diamond simulants such as Cubic Zirconia and Moissanite. The other consideration is the globalization of the diamond industry. Whatever happens in America affects the rest of the world and vice versa. Today there are many points of view on how synthetic diamonds will impact the jewelry industry. One thing is for sure, everyone involved including manufactures, miners, industry leaders and governments want to protect consumers around the world.
So, what is the big deal? The renewed interest of lab-grown diamonds by the jewelry industry poses many interesting challenges for the industry and consumers. We'll highlight a few. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for defining products' legal standards to protect the U.S. consumers. When it comes to diamonds, the question is how to best distinguish a natural diamond from a synthetic diamond when both have exactly the same optical, physical, and chemical properties. In this case they are both diamonds, but they come from two different places; one from nature and the other from a lab. Manufactures and the industry do agree that a distinction must be made to help consumers. Another concern is that producers and sellers of synthetic diamonds may tell consumers that synthetic diamonds are conflict-free, environmentally friendly, or other benefits to pique their interest. Although it is clear that a lab-grown diamond would be conflict free and environmentally friendly, the story may be skewed to help their cause. Miners would make other compelling arguments to make their case like they provide thousands of jobs to people in remote areas of the world. Another area of concern for the industry is the identification of synthetic diamonds. Many professionals in the industry have limited or no access to the advanced equipment needed to properly identify lab-grown diamonds. Currently, the availability of lab equipment designed to identify lab-grown diamonds is not only limited but cost prohibitive for the majority of small companies in the business. This concern is real and the industry is addressing it. Lastly, the consumers: Will consumers embrace the idea of buying synthetic diamond vs. a natural diamond? Will they care whether it comes from a lab or the ground? Or, will the focus be on appearance, cost, or the charming stories told by the retailer? These questions will not be easily answered today or in the near future. Consumers will have a lot to think about and more options.
The popularity of synthetic diamond is unclear, but one thing is certain it is here to stay and you'll hear more about it in the future. So, stay tuned.

The Church of Sta. Monica was formerly named as the Church of San Miguel in commemoration of the arrival in Sarrat, Ilocos Norte of the first missionaries on the feast of the saint on September 29, 1724. It is said that Sarrat Church is the longest church in the province.
In 1983, the church entered into social lores as it was renovated in time for the grandest wedding held here. Estimated to have cost at $10M, the lavish wedding of Irene Marcos and Greggy Araneta was attended by 5,000 guests with a feast served to 100,000 people. An Intensity 7.8 earthquake destroyed church on September 7, or a few days after the wedding.
Beside the church is the convent or Casa del Palacio Real.The first convent was constructed in 1769 which served as the temporary church building. completely reduced to ashes by fire on March 16, 1816. Another convent was built under the supervision of Father Vicente Barreiro. It was finished in May 1817. It was burned again on October 18, 1882. The third convent was built and completed in June 1896.Like all other belfries in Ilocos Norte, the massive, square tower was built a few meters away from the church. The March 19, 1932 earthquake severely damaged the belfry.

ATLANTA — Federal scientists say they will consider requests to ship the recently recreated 1918 killer flu virus to select U.S. research labs.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

There are 300 non-government research labs registered to work with deadly germs like the Spanish flu, which killed millions of people worldwide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will consider requests for samples from those labs "on a case-by-case basis," CDC spokesman Von Roebuck said Wednesday.
Dangerous biological agents are routinely shipped through commercial carriers like FedEx or DHL, following government packaging, safety and security guidelines.
Last month, U .S. scientists announced they had created — from scratch — the 1918 virus . It was the first time an infectious agent behind a historic global epidemic had ever been reconstructed.
Researchers said they believed it would help them develop defenses against the threat of a future pandemic evolving from bird flu, which was found to have similar characteristics as the 1918 virus.
About 10 vials of virus were created, each containing about 10 million infectious virus particles. CDC officials said at the time the particles would be stored at a CDC facility in Atlanta, and that there were no plans to send samples off campus.
But that statement did not mean there was a policy against sending samples elsewhere, Roebuck said.
The agency's decision to consider shipping the virus outside Atlanta was first reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature. Some critics of the recreation of the virus were not pleased to learn of plans to ship the germ.
"Obviously, that contradicts what most people were led to believe when the results of the 1918 experiments were published," said Edward Hammond, director of the Sunshine Project, an Austin, Texas-based organization that advocates more control of biological weapons and biotechnology.
Information to be placed on public database
In addition to creating the virus, the scientists said they would place the gene-sequencing information from the new research in GenBank, a public database operated by the National Institutes of Health.
GenBank will allow some research groups to build their own virus, rather than seek samples of what the CDC had created.
"But that would be a lot of work. Wasted, duplicative work, if they (the CDC) have already made it," said Dr. Diane Griffin, chair of molecular microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health.
It's impractical to expect every influenza researcher who could learn from the 1918 virus to travel to Atlanta, said Michael Osterholm of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
"There's very limited lab space there," said Osterholm, director of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy.
The CDC currently has no pending requests for the virus, Roebuck said. It's unlikely many requests would come in right away, Osterholm noted.
The government requires researchers who work with such agents to use highly secure labs that meet strict training and equipment requirements. About 300 labs are registered for handling such agents, and all are located in the United States, Roebuck said.
"This (virus) is not going to go willy nilly to anyone who wants it," he said.

Prime 10 Best Royal Wedding Dresses: #7. Diana, Princess of Wales. This ushered in a demand for heavier laces, particularly Alençon, which was regularly utilized as an applique, rather than as entire cloth. Thanks for posting this fantastic hub, taking us back in time to what weddings in the previous (esp. One dress shown in Ackermann's Repository in 1829 paired the Brussels lace gown with a white satin pelisse, and one more from a couple of years before partially covered it with a satin sash Later in the Bourbon Restoration, the fashions of the mid-eighteenth century returned to the fore, such as figured, damasked, and brocaded white silk – the former being noticed on the wedding dress worn by Lucy Ann Lane in 1835. A decorative piece as a brooch, flower, or rose increases the beauty of the blouse. It is typically produced from silk, but can also be developed using wool, cotton, and rayon. If you want to put on something new on your wedding day but you still want to get the vintage allure, the greatest option is to go for a vintage inspired wedding dress. MM: Mmmm, I don't feel it is particularly flattering on her (she has that supermodel paunch factor going on) but it's not more than any of these. Good starts at 40…certainly at 50 your on the youth stage have to look great. I've located when wearing rose beads, the heat from your physique enables them to give off a light rose scent. Speaking of the reception, a Catholic wedding reception is a lot like any other, except that there might be a blessing supplied ahead of dinner. No matter whether you have been dreaming about your ideal wedding dress for years or didn't believe about it as well significantly till the day you got engaged, you want your dress to be one thing spectacular that completely suits your style and body kind.
The Rite of Marriage" handbook consists of the selections from which the bride and groom could choose each their readings. When Charlene Wittstock, former Olympic swimmer, became Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco she wore a bespoke gown by Giorgio Armani. Chantilly lace was also common for the skirts of the wedding gowns it was typically utilised to develop ruffled tiers on a full skirt. If you are browsing for the ideal dress but just don't know exactly where to commence then start by thinking about your own personal style, physique kind and also the sort of wedding you want to have. The priest conducting the ceremony can support as well, by clearly indicating when the congregation need to sit, stand, or kneel. Locate out how this project was done by locating the instructions at Pay a visit to StudioSeena's Internet site. Ultimately, if you are hunting for one thing to give you inspiration or concepts of vintage inspired styles, this is greatest done on-line. Wonderful suggestions for everyday things…thanks for your superb lens! Virtually all the gowns you see in these galleries can be ordered in sizes up to 26 with several up to size 32. The gowns in our plus size collection are wedding dresses that are in the store in attempt on sizes of 16 to 32. We also have marked down Wedding Dresses up to 75% in our bargain collection. But it really is regal, and I think it went a lengthy way in terms of transforming the exuberant South American into a correct Princess. Select darker coloured gowns in tones like champagne and dark ivory, specially in all-natural fabrics such as raw silk.
None of this implies, however, that a vintage gown worn by your mother cannot be made to operate for you it merely means that one needs to locate a seamstress who specializes in vintage restoration, and to be open to the possibilities inherent inside a specific gown. I do NOT advise getting boots and taking them to a cobbler to have them narrowed. The Priscilla of Boston bridal gown collection is by far the oldest property among the most influential wedding designers. We have the same calf circumference and I was asking yourself which of these boots do you own. Angel Gowns breaks your heart and tends to make you feel greater about the universe at the exact same time. This is my go to" celebration dress for when I'm in a razzle-dazzle type of mood. Embroidered lace trim on bra-friendly straps and waistband paired with a satin bodice. Madine's dresses range from Gone With The Wind-style costume pieces to Fairy Princess Bride on Steroids style. Her dress was elegant in the vintage style of Grace Kelly, but it looked excellent for this twenty-1st century woman. Each and every year, designers borrow inspiration from the types of bygone eras to create their new bridal gown collections. Then I came back with no my husband then right after handful of years, I applied for all the paper works for him to come right here in Australia and it was tough. It was used as insets on the bodices of satin gowns. It is a well known statistic that 95% of males who stroll out of a marriage have a person they are walking to. Typically when a man leaves, they are gone!!
Receiving the appropriate dress for the correct physique shape is very important on this massive day, when you start off with very first fitting, you could somehow realise all along your dream wedding dress shape doesn't look as great as other shapes on you. The V-neck is a good selection for the amble bosom even though halter necks and strapless dresses draw attention to shoulders. Sunny says that she opted for a white dress, in spite of her South Asian heritage, since she feels strongly about the culture she grew up in. A little patience is required, but when you are carried out making them, your flowers from your wedding can be turned into a lovely necklace that you will be able to wear forever. The roses in the antique vase are true, but other times, she can use silk roses. The sarees are lovely – we westerners are attracted to the beautiful silks, the gold threads, the graceful drape of the cloth over the shoulder. Panic is not a excellent state for any bride to be in. The final issue you need to have is the biscuit tin, spots or God forbid stressing out your betrothed. I identified my Mr. Correct & Left at Macy's about 3 years ago – just like the Stuart Weizmann 5050 but about 1/three the value. If you dream of possessing a vintage-style wedding day then a delicate lace wedding dress will be perfect for your theme and is also a great figure flatterer, team your quite lace gown with a birdcage veil or straightforward pearl earrings to genuinely complete the look. Thank you so a lot for all of your assist in deciding on my bridal gown.
Most women invest months hunting for the ideal wedding gown but if you wear more than a size 14, or are curvy or overweight, the activity of seeking for the gown can very easily grow to be a nightmare. Sometimes couples have their wedding ceremony in a single venue like a church, park or beach and then have their wedding reception in one more venue. Nonetheless use that boot (a cognac Guess three inch heel) at times with skirts. The 1956 wedding of Grace Kelly to Prince Ranier of Monaco had an enormous influence on bridal fashion. Rose, this was one particular of most researched hub about wedding gowns I have ever study. Use these kissing balls for your outdoors or inside wedding reception. Use bits and pieces of fabric from an old gown to make heirloom pincushions or a wall quilt. No matter whether you pick a dramatic train or chic quick wedding dress, our exquisite collection is expertly-crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. Sorry that did not pan out, particularly because you got such a great deal. The search, however, continued for the ideal each day boot. They had been discussing the higher expense of wedding gowns and the reality it would only be worn once. So they flop about on me in a way that is suitable for, say, a enjoyable pair of wellies, but not for styles meant to be snug. But I adore it. I enjoy the way it moves, I love that it is modest but flattering, and I enjoy that it is 100% Princess Anne. Calvin Klein (I feel the Tamryn, but Zappos says that's 15-inch and it was certainly 14-inch) and Vaneli Replay I wound up acquiring the Vaneli since they fit a tiny a lot more snugly, and the Calvins had been kind of tight for a 7.five (I typically wear a 7, so this shocked me).

Ever since I saw that beautiful layer cake photo above in one of our catalogs, I've been dreaming up all sorts of luscious flavor combinations in my head. Hmm, how about lemon cake with blueberry ice cream? What if we tried chocolate cake layered with chocolate ganache and topped with strawberries? On and on it went for days, the endless possibilities were mind-boggling! And then I thought about whether I really needed those special layer cake pans to make a beautiful multi-layered cake. Nah, I thought, I can just cut the layers to size.
For my first attempt, I made both yellow and chocolate cake layers topped with a rich chocolate buttercream frosting. First I baked each cake in 8-by-8-inch square pans, then sliced them into four rectangular layers. Slicing the layers evenly was more challenging than I anticipated. In hindsight, it would have been easier to slice (or tort) the cakes if they had been first partially frozen. The resulting cake did not have perfectly uniform layers but no one seemed to mind. It was a moist, delicious cake with rich chocolate frosting. What's not to like?
With the Fourth of July holiday not far away, I decided to try my hand at a red, white and blue layer cake. This time I decided to put ice cream layers between the cakes to add some color, additional flavors and cool, creamy deliciousness. For one layer, I used our own strawberry ice cream recipe. This recipe for blueberry cheesecake ice cream really spoke to me, so I decided I absolutely had to make it as soon as possible. For the cake portion, I thought a pound cake sounded tasty but wanted something not too heavy or dense. I found a recipe for Lighter, Airy Pound Cake on the Smitten Kitchen blog and decided to give it a try.
For this round, I was excited to test our Wilton 4-layer rectangular cake pan set to make my multi-layered cake. The nonstick baking pans are lightweight, easy to clean and stack together nicely to save space.
The first step in creating my layer cake was to make my ice cream bases. While I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker and an extra freezer bowl, I actually did this step over two days due to time constraints.
Next I made the pound cake batter and baked it off in three of the rectangular pans. (Note: the original recipe called for baking the pound cake in a standard loaf pan but the amount of batter was just right to fill three of the skinny rectangular pans about 2/3 full.) The cakes baked up a nice golden brown after about 17 minutes in the oven. They bake quickly in these pans, so I probably could have pulled them out a minute sooner.
After washing and drying the pans, I set aside two and lined them with plastic wrap to form my ice cream layers. After filling one with strawberry ice cream and the other with blueberry cheesecake ice cream, I put them into the freezer to firm up for approximately three hours.
Now it was time for the "icing on the cake." Sweetened whipped cream topped with fresh berries seemed to be the way to go with this cake. After whipping the heavy cream with some powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla, I set it aside to assemble my layer cake.
After setting out one of my favorite rectangular platters and my offset spatula, I was ready to get to work. First, I put a bit of whipped cream on the platter and set one of the cake layers on the plate. Next, I placed the blueberry ice cream layer, then another cake, then the strawberry ice cream and finally the third cake layer. It was at this point I realized my cake layers had shrunk a bit after cooling, so I used a serrated knife to slice off some of the ice cream layers from the short ends to even things up.
Finally I iced the cake with my sweetened whipped cream and put the finished cake in the freezer until serving time. I decorated my cake with stripes of fresh blueberries and strawberries, but you could just as easily create an American flag if you were serving your cake at an Independence Day barbecue.
Lessons learned from this experiment:
- The layer cake pans are definitely worth the investment. It was so nice not to have to tort the layers by hand and not have an avalanche of cake crumbs to clean up afterward. In addition, if you are adding ice cream layers to your cake it is quite helpful to have these pans to use as a mold for creating even layers.
- If you will be freezing your cake, be sure to use a light and airy cake recipe to make slicing easier. While the pound cake recipe I used was delicious, it wasn't quite as light and airy as I'd hoped when frozen.
Making these cakes was a lot of fun, and I can see more possibilities for me to use the layer cake pans this summer. Perhaps for my next project I'll work on perfecting the perfect s'mores cake, as I'm always looking for a good excuse to use my handy kitchen torch. This one looks like a winner.
Do you have a favorite layer cake recipe you'd like to share? And where do you get your baking inspiration?

Profile: Gökhan Boylu
My profession:
Storage Worker - Packaging
Employed with Trotec since:
March 2015
My personal work motto:
I only go home when the job's done!
This is how I would describe my job to a friend:
I'm responsible for packaging the laser machines. They are packed in wooden crates. Trotec is a cool company, and I enjoy working here.
I spend most of my work day...
…packaging laser machines.
The coolest thing about my job is...
...the team work. We get on really well and have a lot of fun at work. There's also a lot of team spirit – we always help each other out if the need arises.
"Einmal hat sich ein LKW-Fahrer zum Beladen an unsere Rampe geparkt. Nachdem er die Fahrertüre geschlossen hatte, hat sich der LKW versperrt. Der Fahrer ist dann nicht mehr in seinen LKW hinein gekommen und musste sich von der Zentrale einen Ersatzschlüssel liefern lassen. Über eine Stunde lang war unsere Laderampe blockiert und wir mussten die anderen LKWs mit dem Stapler beladen. Früher hat es mich immer gewundert, warum die LKW-Fahrer ihre Türen immer offen lassen - jetzt weiß ich wieso :-) Once, a truck driver parked at our ramp to load. After he had closed the driver's door, the truck has locked. The driver then did not get into his truck and had to get a replacement key from the head office. For over an hour our loading ramp was blocked and we had to load the other trucks with the truck. I always used to wonder why truck drivers keep their doors open - now I know why :-)"- A funny anecdote from my work life - Gökhan Boylu -
The thing I appreciate most about Trotec is:
Great value is placed on employees here. Both in terms of how people deal with one another at work (appreciation and respect) and as regards basic conditions at the company (BistroTec with lunch, coffee machine, snack bar, etc.)
Something personal about myself:
I live in Wels, so luckily I don't have far to go to get to work. My grandfather was one of the first Turks to come to Wels. Now we're a proper big family here – counting all the uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., there are about 150 of us.

After the fatal police shooting of Paul O'Neal in Chicago, police say that leaders of three West Side gangs met to discuss an attack on the Chicago Police Department.
An alert was issued to the Chicago Police Department a day after the supposed meeting took place, insinuating that leaders of the Vice Lords, Black Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers were planning to shoot members of the department, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The alert noted that the Four Corner Hustlers "provided guns" and will be supplying the other two gangs with weapons. The gang also allegedly has "a sniper in place"; however, the location is unclear.
According to the Sun-Times, the president of Lodge 7 of the Fraternal Order of Police, Dean Angelo, blamed the alleged threats on "rhetoric" from the O'Neal family's attorney and statements from Sharon Fairley, the head of the city's Independent Police Review Authority.
"We had inflammatory and false rhetoric coming from [O'Neal family lawyer Michael Oppenheimer] and statements that weren't true," said Angelo. "You also have a lead investigator in police-involved deaths talking about how shocking and disturbing this is."
Police sources say that members of the CPD have been advised to "limit interaction and visibility."

ER...this website requires registration to read articles?
And...I'm Xiaoyu, currently study at HKU law school. Prof. Lim put a few your articles into his class materials, that's how I know about you, and I appreciate your thoughts on China's FTAs and China's strategy in multilateral trade negotiations. These are what I concern about, and I'm now writing a small piece of work about cumulative rules in China's FTAs. Hope to get more latest comments from your blog.

A Manifesto For Economic Decline
Here is the carefully crafted voice of consensus (I wonder if they have 364 signatures yet):
In the face of a less severe shock, monetary policy could take up the slack. But with interest rates close to zero, monetary policy – while it should do all it can – cannot do the whole job
Cannot do… "the whole job"? It can do just part of "the job"? What is this job? Does monetary policy only work from Monday to Thursday, but takes a long weekend at the beach? Because surely these wise heads cannot be talking about AD management, can they? Is targeting the CPI rate one of these "jobs" for which monetary policy is now only partially capable? It's all so confusing.
Sure, there is stuff in there which is reasonable, but the whole thing reads like a poorly disguised cry for more deficit spending. But at least they don't mention Japan, do they, that would surely be foolish.
Let's recall how well Japan has done with deficit spending and "impotent" monetary policy. Here are the IMF numbers:
|Nominal GDP
|Govt Net Debt to GDP
I think that counts as "not very well". Here's a simpler six word manifesto:
… and here's the appropriate soundtrack for our demise:
Have a nice decade.
(WIth apologies to Scott and everybody else whose ideas I shamelessly rip off with every post.)
Headlines You Didn't Read Today, Good News Edition
All the news about the GDP figures is bad, the recession worse than expected, etc etc; but every blogger must try to be contrarian. After all, "if it's not bad, it's not news." (Sumner, naturally).
There is some decent news in the capital spending figures. Here's a stats review, looking at the "volume" measure of gross fixed capital formation; giving the short term view of the rate ("slightly less bad"), and the medium term view of the level ("still really bad") for balance.
- Business Investment hit a three year high, rising 14.8% since 2011 Q1. Business investment today drives productivity tomorrow, so this is great. But business investment is still 15% below its 2007 Q1 peak.
- Housebuilding also hit a three year high, rising 4.7% since 2011 Q1. Housebuilding is 26% below the 2008 Q1 peak.
- Total gross capital formation is basically flat, rising just 1.9% on the year; but this is despite a 32% crash in government investment. Total gross capital spending remains 18% below the 2007 Q4 peak.
The following graph shows the development of capital spending by sector, relative to 2007 Q4. (This is not an ideal way to present the data since it does not show the relative size of each sector.)
Note: In this post have I not used the cursed phrase "green shoots", nor wish to imply such shoots exist. UK aggregate demand is stuck in a hole which we badly need to recover from. But I am sure there are several European countries which would die for stats this mediocre.
ONS source data series for Gross Fixed Capital Formation by Sector: Business Investment, Government, Private Housing, Total GFCF.
UK 2012 Q1 Quarterly National Accounts
The Month 3 revisions for 2012 Q1 GDP are out, as well as updated data going back forever.
The shocking news is that 1949 nominal GDP has been revised down by 0.024%. This comes from the fact that the ONS use estimates of output volume as inputs, and then invent a deflator series to derive nominal spending. But then they revise the deflator; in this case the switch from an RPI to CPI-based deflator has caused downgrades to NGDP going back a long way.
A change to the treatment of insurance company output has upgraded the 2005 real GDP growth figure from 2.0% to 2.8%. The ONS explain all.
Back to 2012. As often happens, it looks like some nominal spending has been smoothed out across recent quarters. Look at those deflators. Just awful, and the Q1 deflator is flattered by NGDP at market prices growing slower than NGDP at basic prices. The
"ex VAT" basic prices deflator for Q1 would be +3.8%. What. The. Heck?
Quarter on quarter growth, seasonally adjusted annualized rates:
|Nominal GDP
|GDP Deflator
|Real GDP
|NGDP at Basic Prices
Memo to Central Bankers: Reflate or Resign
I can never decide which is more outrageous:
a) the failure of central bankers to stabilise the path of aggregate demand, or
b) the apparent inability of (most) economists, politicians, and members of the press, to hold those central bankers to account for their failings, on behalf of the UK population.
Haven given up direct political control over UK aggregate demand management in 1997, a vast democratic deficit has emerged between the desires of the UK population and the intentions of the professional technocrats appointed to run AD policy. UK economists look at the real GDP figures, and shout at the
Treasury wrong place to provide demand. The MPC look at the CPI figures, and cower beneath their seats, afraid of… what? The hard money lobby? The inflation monster? Their own precious credibility?
Left Outside quotes Mervyn King at the Treasury Select Committee:
When this crisis began in 2007, most people did not believe we would still be here. I don't think we're yet half way through this. I've always said that and I'm still saying it. My estimate of how long it will take to recover is expanding all the time. We have to regard this as a long-term project to get back to where we were, but we're nowhere near starting that yet. We're in a deep crisis with enormous challenges.
This is an absolutely outrageous thing for Mervyn King to say. King's MPC have been wrong in their reading of the UK economy since early 2008, when they caused this "deep crisis" by pegging Bank Rate at 5% all the way past the collapse of Lehman Brothers, fighting a spike in oil prices. Yet there is no remorse, no indication of culpability. Just a warning that they'll carry on regardless.
Does anybody remember February 2012, when the MPC refrained from doing "too much" QE because:
a larger increase [in asset purchases] risked sending a signal that the Committee thought the economic situation was weaker than it was
Well, what do you know! Now King admits that the economic situation really is exactly as weak as everybody thought it was all along. Oh well, never mind, Merv. We all make mistakes, eh?
Does anybody remember back to the sunny days of May 2012, when half the MPC decided it was a fantastic time to get the CPI rate down? Right after the UK had just experienced two quarters of falling output. Three and a half years into the worst depression since the Great Depression. From what bizarre perspective was that ever a good idea?
And now the MPC are here to tell us… we're in a deep crisis which is going to last forever? Gee… thanks for the heads-up, Mervyn.
It's time to step up. Economists, politicians, and the press must hold the MPC's feet to the fire until they provide a robust revival of aggregate demand. Or effect their removal from office. Do not let me hear any rubbish about monetary policy being "impotent", or I'll stick Professors Bernanke and Svensson on you, followed by a rampaging horde of the under- and un-employed.
Back to Left Outside: central bankers must be held to account. Ryan Avent writes up a glorious obituary for central bankers. Lars Christensen has a fantastic quote from a anonymous correspondent:
"Central bank governors are like the Pope. They must preserve the survival of the institution. The necessary legitimacy comes from infallibility. The church through the Pope because he speaks for God always speaks the truth. The incompatibility of legitimacy and admission of error means that every statement and action must presume the validity of past statements and actions. If central banks do commit error, there is no going back, only the compounding of the error. "
Right on the money.
Mythbusting: UK Household Spending
A common view is that the UK economy is weak because "consumers aren't spending"; a view often paired with the conclusion that, as Tim Harford says:
… who is going to do the spending when consumers start trying to save up? Krugman says it will have to be governments.
Leaving aside the question of why aggregate spending is undesirably low, this argument is somewhat misplaced, at least in the UK context.
The remarkable aspect of the UK household consumption data should be obvious from the following graph, which compares nominal household consumption spending with the corresponding volume measure (i.e. the measured quantity of goods and services purchased):
(This analysis comes with a metric boat-load of caveats. We can't extrapolate from one sector – albeit a large one at 60% of GDP by expenditure – to the aggregates. "Spending" can mean consumption or investment, and I am looking only at consumption here.)
Caveats in place, this picture is not simply a lack of consumer spending, but in large part a failure of the supply side. UK households in 2012 Q1 are not measurably better off than in 2005 Q1, in terms of volume of goods and services consumed, for a 23% increase in spending over that period.
As Tyler Cowen notes, it is unsatisfactory to blame the 2008 Sterling devaluation for this. When imports became expensive, we should expect a boost to domestic production and substitution away from those imports. That does not seem to have happened.
I think the view of many would be to blame the banking system for failing to reallocate capital towards this this end. Can it really be that simple? The country home to the City of London is struggling to efficiently allocate capital? (Nick Rowe has just put up an interesting post on this very topic.)
I am no way susbscribing to demand denial, but it would be useful to at least attempt to understand some of the apparent supply-side failures present in the UK GDP data, and think about what policy implications they have.
UK Inflation Measures
After looking at nominal GDP at basic prices previously, Simon Wren-Lewis' post on using the GDP deflator as the preferred inflation measure prompted some thoughts.
I've graphed here an adjusted version of the GDP deflator, aiming to avoid the VAT distortions by taking the difference between the rates of change of real GDP and nominal GDP at basic prices. (The "true" GDP deflator measures the difference between output and nominal GDP at market prices, where market prices include VAT and other indirect taxes).
As expected, this does not show up any significant supply-side pressure since 2009, with the "GDP deflator ex taxes" measure only once spiking above 2% in the fourth quarter of 2010.
MPC Split, Dovish King Outvoted
A quick note. The MPC minutes for June show that Mervyn King was outmanoeuvred by the hawks:
Regarding the stock of asset purchases, five members of the Committee (Charles Bean, Paul Tucker, Ben Broadbent, Spencer Dale and Martin Weale) voted in favour of the proposition [no extension of QE]. Four members of the Committee voted against the proposition. The Governor, David Miles and Adam Posen preferred to increase the size of the asset purchase programme by £50 billion to a total of £375 billion. Paul Fisher preferred to increase the size of the asset purchase programme by £25 billion to a total of £350 billion.
I believe the last time King voted against the majority was in August 2005. Correction: June 2007 was a more recent case.
There was also a brief discussion of removing interest paid on some of the "excess" reserves:
The Committee also discussed the possibility of changing the remuneration structure on banks' reserves at the Bank of England by paying Bank Rate on only a proportion of those reserves. There were drawbacks with such a policy. There would be a large degree of arbitrariness involved in setting meaningful reserve requirements for individual institutions in an environment where their reserves were substantially in excess of the stable norms that had prevailed before the financial crisis. To do so would also change the nature of what was commonly perceived to be meant by Bank Rate, and its relationship with short-term market interest rates.
Even the
crazy loonshawks admit they are willing to move, but will "wait and see" how much worse things can get before they bravely step in and rescue us from Eurodoom:
While acknowledging that further stimulus was likely to become warranted at some point, most members noted that there were several key events occurring over the coming weeks that could have a material bearing on the situation in the euro area and that there was merit in waiting to see how matters evolved there before the MPC reached a conclusion on whether to add any further monetary stimulus.
Since disaster or delivery from the Eurocrisis is just around the corner, I'm sure this "wait and see" strategy will work out fine.

Aytac Architects have designed this 10 story apartment building in Istanbul, Turkey.
The architect's description
The building pays homage to the areas completely destroyed vineyards, due to the densification of the city with concrete cookie-cutter apartment blocks after the 1970's.
The "vine" like texture emerges at the ground level, and moves upward to become the intertwining building facade, finishing at the roof garden where the residents can enjoy tranquillity away from the noise of the street.
This facade treatment offers privacy with maximum light and views within each residence.
The metal bands climb like a vine, wrapping the building with balconies, employing this decorative element as a functional tool.

How to locate stationary points of a function.
For a function: y = f(x), a stationary point is a point on the function graph where the gradient of the function is zero.
If the gradient of the function changes sign at the stationary point, then it is called a turning point, which can be a local maximum or local minimum:
If the gradient of the function does not change sign at the stationary point, then it is a point of horizontal inflection:
The derivative of the function y = f(x) gives us the gradient of any point, so that if we know the derivative, dy/dx, then we can locate the stationary points of the function y = f(x) without even drawing a graph. Also, by evaluating dy/dx just before and just after each stationary point, we can find out if it is a local maximum, local minimum, or point of horizontal inflection.
NOTE: The second derivative of f(x): d2y/dx2, is often used to verify that a point is a local maximum or local minimum. The sign of the second derivative at the stationary point is positive for a local minimum, and negative for a local maximum.Â
Maths Helper Plus can greatly simplify the process of finding stationary points on function graphs. Here are some of the ways it can help:
In the 'Method' section below, we will use Maths Helper Plus to locate the stationary points of the function:Â
Step 1Â Start with an empty Maths Helper Plus document
If you have just launched the software then you already have an empty document, otherwise hold down 'Ctrl' while you briefly press the 'N' key.
Step 2Â Graph the function
For more help on entering functions, see the 'Easy Start' tutorial in the Maths Helper Plus 'help'. To access the tutorial, click 'Help' on the Maths Helper Plus menu bar, then select: 'Tutorial...'
If the required area between the function graphs is not completely
visible, you need to adjust the
graph scale.Â
For more help on setting graph scales, click 'Help' on the Maths Helper Plus menu bar, then select 'Index'. Click the button at the top left corner of the help screen. Click 'Training', then 'Essential skills', then 'Graph scale magic'.Â
 Step 3 Plot the first derivative graph
Carefully point to one of the function curves with the mouse pointer. Double click to display the options dialog box for that function. (This may work better on parts of the graph that are not so steep.)
The 'Plot settings' tab will be displayed. See below:Â
Click to select the dy/dx option. The first derivative graph will display in red on the graph view.
Click OK to close the options dialog box.
 Step 4 Locate the stationary points
Type 1 - Local maximum or local minimum
The 'turning point tool' in Maths Helper Plus will locate a local maximum or local minimum in most cases.
This diagram illustrates the procedure:
The steps are:
For the example y = 0.1x³ - 0.2x² - 1.5x + 1, stationary points are located at these points:
For the point:Â (-1.66667,2.48148), we observe from the dy/dx graph that dy/dx is positive to the left of the point, and negative to the right of the point. This is consistent with a local maximum.
For the point (3,-2.6), dy/dx is negative to the left of the point and positive to the right of the point, which is consistent with a local minimum.
Type 2 - Point of horizontal inflection
More about points of horizontal inflection:
A point of inflection on y = f(x) is a point where the gradient stops increasing and starts decreasing, or stops decreasing and starts increasing.
Points of inflection can be recognised from the dy/dx graph. The dy/dx graph has a local maximum or local minimum with the same 'x' value as a point of inflection on the y = f(x) graph.
The 'turning point tool' in Maths Helper Plus will not locate a point of inflection on the graph of y = f(x). We locate it indirectly by first locating the corresponding local maximum or minimum on the graph of dy/dx. If the 'y' coordinate of this point is zero, then the 'x' coordinate is the same as the 'x' coordinate of a point of horizontal inflection on the graph of y = f(x)
For the example graph, the following local minimum was located on the dy/dx graph:
This means that the function y = 0.1x³ - 0.2x² - 1.5x + 1Â has an inflection point at x = 0.666666, but it is not a point of horizontal inflection, because the 'y' coordinate is not zero.

Whether you're a sports fan, TV junkie, cinephile or just looking for a way to entertain your children, NOW TV offers what you need on your terms, no contracts involved. Here's what you can expect from each of the TV passes they offer.
NOW TV started out as a simple streaming service from Sky that offered viewers a chance to access Sky programming without signing up for lengthy contracts. Instead of subscribing to Sky for a year, users could sign up for themed TV passes on a monthly — or, in some cases, daily or weekly — rolling basis and could be cancelled at any time without penalty.
While NOW TV still offers in-app streaming, the service has expanded to include set-top boxes built on Roku hardware, plus broadband and landline bundles. Flexibility remains at the heart of NOW TV's offerings, so all of these services are offered on either a 12-month contract or a monthly basis.
NOW TV offers four different themed passes: movies, entertainment, sports and kids. Here, we'll go over what you can expect from each of these passes.
Keep in mind, however, that the bulk of what NOW TV offers is pulled from Sky's own programming, including Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and Sky 1. Therefore, the content is subject to change whenever Sky loses the rights to boxsets or films, so there's no guarantee you'll get access to certain series at any given time.
For currently-airing series, the timeframe is even shorter: Most catch-up programming is available for 30 days, but some channels restrict that to seven or 14 days.
And while NOW TV usually gives users a heads up about what's leaving soon by giving a countdown, the service has occasionally pulled highly popular series without warning, including The Walking Dead and Westworld, which has caused massive backlash from fans, to say the least.
Sky Sports TV pass
Sky Sports TV pass is NOW TV's most flexible pass. It's offered on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, allowing you to pick and choose exactly which games you want to watch.
With the Sky Sports TV pass, you get access to all 10 of Sky's sports channels, including their live, catch-up and on-demand content.
Sky Sports has the rights to exclusively broadcast tons of high-quality sports programmes, such as:
- Formula One racing
- Premier League
- English Football League
- ICC Cricket World Cup
- U.S. Masters golf
- NFL Super Bowl
- PGA Tour

Entertainment TV pass
Outside of subscribing to Sky, signing up for NOW TV's Entertainment TV pass is the only way you can watch Sky Atlantic. The Entertainment TV pass also gives you access to 11 other TV channels:
- Sky 1
- Sky Living
- Gold
- Sky Arts
- ITV Encore
- Comedy Central
- Discovery Channel
- Nat Geo Wild
- abc studios
With these channels, you'll be able to watch some of the best TV programmes — both currently airing programmes and older box sets — around, live or on demand, including:
- Game of Thrones
- Westworld
- The Walking Dead
- Inside Amy Schumer
- The Daily Show
- Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
- The Young Pope
- Twin Peaks
- The Affair
- Grey's Anatomy
- Broad City
- Scandal
- Penny Dreadful
- Fortitude
- Ex on the Beach
- The Blacklist
- Oz
- Big Little Lies
- Boardwalk Empire
- Sex and the City
- Deadwood
Again, bear in mind that this programming changes frequently and is subject to disappear, depending on what the rights restrictions are. If possible, it's best to check ahead of time to see what's available rather than risk disappointment.

Sky Cinema TV pass
The Sky Cinema TV pass is available on a monthly basis. With this pass, you get access to live streams of 11 Sky Cinema channels, plus over 1,000 movies to watch on demand.
Sky Cinema premieres a new film every day, so the films are constantly changing — but Sky typically gets the rights to air new releases before most other providers, plus a massive selection of classics and cult favourites across all genres.

Kids TV pass
The Kids TV pass features six dedicated children's TV channels:
- Boomerang
- Cartoonito
- Cartoon Network
- Nickelodeon
- Nick Jr
- Nicktoons
Programmes are grouped by channels and ages so you can easily find appropriate shows for your kids — or they can find it themselves on NOW TV's easier, graphical interface for children's content.
Kids will have access to a host of educational and entertaining series and cartoons, such as:
- Peppa Pig
- Adventure Time
- Spongebob Squarepants
- Morph
- Bob the Builder
- Paw Patrol
- The Gruffalo
- Dora the Explorer
- Steven Universe
- Ben 10
- iCarly
- Fairly Odd Parents

Freeview TV
NOW TV doesn't offer Freeview TV through its TV passes; however, if you buy their NOW TV Smart Box, you can watch over 60 Freeview channels, plus an additional 12 HD channels and any content you've purchased through your TV pass.
The set-top box also comes with catch-up apps like BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and Demand 5, so you can watch TV on your schedule.
The NOW TV Smart Box also lets you pause and rewind live TV, although it doesn't let you record it.

Dallas Business Journal Announces:
Equity Office names JLL to oversee lease up of revamped Solana Office Park
JCI and JLL (Jones Lang LaSale) are long time partners. So when JLL was named to over see leasing at Solana Office Park in Southlake, they were eager to retain us as the Space Planner of record for this complex. With upgrades nearing completion, the campus includes three Class A properties totaling 2 million SF of office space.
"The capital improvements are near completion and have already made a major impact; they've truly created a cutting-edge campus experience," said Jeff Eckert, a managing director at JLL, in a statement. Eckert, Jay Bailey and Blake Shipley of JLL's Dallas office, along with Frank Taylor and Meredith Miner of the firm's Fort Worth office, will round out the new leasing team. Jones Commercial Interiors preforms Space Planning and Interior Design Services for this complex.

If there's one thing that years of traveling and storytelling with Speak About It has taught us, it's that sexual assault affects us all. Whether we are ourselves survivors or victims of sexual assault, we all know someone who is or who's life has been changed by it. Partners, siblings, best friends, roommates, teammates, parents. Everyone has a story about how sexual assault.
And because everyone has a story, you are not alone with yours. Below are links to national resources who can be reached 24/7 by phone or online for support.
- Center for Disease Control
- National Sexual Violence Resource Center
- Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network
- Safe Horizon
- Office on Violence Against Women
You can also see our Resources page for school-specific information or support in Maine.
If you don't feel comfortable contacting one of these resources, that's ok, too, but we encourage you to talk to someone. A trusted friend, sibling, or partner will do just fine. And if you're the first person someone tells about their assault, remember to believe the survivor and assure them that it wasn't their fault. More tips for supporting a friend can be found here (via Brown University).

Maintaining essential services to support your health and wellbeing
If you have a stay in hospital, we try to get you home as quickly as possible once you are well enough, as staying in hospital longer than needed can increase the chance of catching infections and becoming less able to look after yourself. This is particularly relevant for frail and older people, many of whom are managing multiple health conditions. Social care and health will liaise with you to plan how to achieve this.
Our social care teams based in the local hospitals can help you to stay independent, or help you regain your independence, if you've been in hospital and are due to return home. Independence is important to everyone. It means the freedom to live the life you want, and to live it your way. Our health can sometimes get in the way of our independence. It can be harder to get around and carry out day-to-day tasks such as washing. There are also services available to support rehabilitation if this is required eg physiotherapy.
When it is time to leave hospital, the integrated health and social care discharge team will undertake an assessment of your needs. They will help you to find the support you need to enable you to be at home. If you are eligible for care and support to be arranged by the Council, they will also make these arrangements for you.
Services can include:
Some services are provided free of charge, others are chargeable. A financial assessment will be undertaken to determine whether you pay for these services.

The giant has no place to go, as of now! Or maybe, just one place too many. The Square Kilometer Array (SKA), the biggest array of ground based radio telescopes, is now hanging in the balance searching for a site. The two contenders are Australia and South Africa.
About the SKA
The SKA costs a whopping 1.5 billion euros. The mammoth array is set have a collecting are of 1 square kilometer and be sensitive over a very wide range of frequencies. The radius of the array will be at least 3000 km from the central core (a few telescopes clustered at the center) and the total data uplink-downlink will dwarf even the total global Internet data transfer, when it will actively observe! This means that the computers handling the data will have to be state-of-the-art as well as the means to transfer data. It will look into the Universe, as it was about 300,000 years after the Big Bang till the time when it became transparent, i.e. the reionization era.
Construction of the array is set to begin in 2016 and end in 2019. It will see first light sometime in 2020.
The two rivals
The Australian side is promising the core of the array in the west of the continent and the outer arms and outstations stretching across the sea to New Zealand. The South African contingency plans its core in the Karoo region, North Cape, in the northern part of the country, and the outer arms are going to stretch to eight neighbouring countries!
The requirements for selecting a site for a radio telescope include arid conditions, radio-quiet regions and low human activity.
The site will be finalized by the end of this year and only then will the SKA construction start off!

First of September? So what?!
I know is September already but I have promised you for a while that I will tell you my secret regarding the swimming benefits: beside the fact that you get in shape, you can also obtain the perfect and healthy tan even more that these days, the sun is not that strong as it was in the mid summer.
As you may know, I was a professional swimmer for 12 years. I don`t want to talk too much about it, but swimming was and it still is part of my life. And each summer, I obtained the perfect tan which usually kept until November or so. I have to admit that I was exposed to the sun at least 2 hours per day but it was not dangerous at all.
So usually when I am going to the swimming pool I do the following things:
1. Get the smaller & simple swimsuit :)) you don`t want to look like a zebra or something. I usually have to 2 types of swimsuits. One like in the picture, let`s call it the classical one and another one with not straps, the so called balconette. I change them once in a while in order to eliminate the unaesthetic marks.
2. Always shower before you enter the swimming pool and stop using the sun cream or sun oils before entering the swimming pool. Is not healthy for you and for those around you. Even more is not ok if you are not really a good swimmer because if you need help, the people that may help you are not able to keep your hands on you because your skin is way to slippery.
3. I know you`ll ask me how can you protect your skin if you don`t use the creams. Well the answer is simple. You`re not protecting it. When you swim, the water has the mirror effect and you`ll get the perfect tan, all over your body, uniformly. You won`t get burns, you`ll avoid the red skin aspect and you`re skin won`t be irritated.
4. You should swim for at least an hour, without too many, long stops at each side of the swimming pool. After one h you`ll already see the skin tone difference :D
5. Last but not least, I will talk about what should be done after the training: First of all take a shower. The pools water usually contains chlorine and this is not really healthy for your skin and even more it makes it drier. After that, when the skin is still a bit wet, you have to apply the after sun cream. I usually use it because it is more beneficial and it hydrates my skin better than any other cream.
Remember your skin is dry due to the chlorine and you have also been exposed to the sun light. Just for the fact that you did not got sunburned doesn`t mean that your skin is ok and as mentioned, in combination with the chlorine will make your skin even drier.
Also, since it`s already September, the sun is not that powerful as it was in the mid summer. One more aspect that you should consider. So if there are any open swimming pools around you, now is the perfect moment to relax and train in the same moment, plus you get the bonus: The perfect tan :D
I might have forgot some details but remember take care of your skin and look gorgeous in the same time! Even more, I want to mention that this is my personal advice and that some things may differ from person to person.
I hope you have a wonderful day and I will share with you more pictures from the swimming pool tomorrow!
Kisses, Manuella ♥

Better education and vocational training are not enough to steer young people in Somalia away from radical and violent groups such as al-Shabab.
Instead they must be combined with opportunities to take part in community and civic projects in order to reduce violence, a new report has found.
This is the main conclusion of the "Critical Choices" study by international aid agency Mercy Corps, which collates the findings of an impact evaluation of their five year USAID-funded Somali Youth Leaders Initiative.
The report found that interventions that combined secondary education with civic engagement opportunities — such as taking part in local sanitation and hygiene campaigns or planting trees in school grounds — led to a 14 percent reduction in young people's propensity to participate in violence, and a 20 percent drop in their likelihood of supporting violence.
In contrast, the results showed that while better access to secondary education by itself reduced actual participation in acts of political violence, it actually increased ideological support for political violence.
The findings mark a departure from the common assumption that lack of education alone is a main driver of violent extremism. It also debunks the traditional view that countering violent extremism interventions are "too difficult to measure," said Shannon Green, director of the Human Rights Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which hosted a panel discussion on the new report in Washington, D.C.
Mercy Corps researchers, through the report, also seek to fill what they perceive as an evidence gap around effective approaches to preventing politically motivated violence in Somaliland, Somalia, and other similar conflict situations around the world.
The report is timely, according to Jon Kurtz, director of research and learning at Mercy Corps, because it makes the case for continued non-militarized U.S. support to fragile and conflict-affected countries at a time of uncertainty among the development community due to President-elect Donald Trump's comments about withdrawing aid from countries that "hate us."
"We hope our new research encourages the Administration to embrace constructive policies that mitigate conflict, by demonstrating the important role civic engagement and education play in the fight against violent extremism. Programs like these are a proven way to prevent violence, recruitment and radicalization," Kurtz said.
The survey interviewed more than 800 young people between the ages of 15 and 24, from three regions in Somaliland, over a two week period earlier this year. Somaliland is a semi-autonomous state but is internationally recognized as part of Somalia.
Researchers carried out a mixed-methods impact evaluation to test what impact, if any, the SYLI program has had on stability in the country.
Somalia is plagued by violence from al-Shabab, which is Arabic for "the youth." The group emerged as the radical youth wing of Somalia's now-defunct Islamic Courts Union, which controlled the country in 2006 before being ousted by Ethiopian forces. After the Ethiopian invasion, al-Shabab's membership grew and it is now believed to have between 7,000 and 9,000 fighters. The group now controls much of southern and central Somalia.
While Somaliland has been relatively unscathed by al-Shabab attacks — the last attack was in 2008 — the extremist group does recruit from its territory. According to the Mercy Corps report, a typical al-Shabab member is a vulnerable youth with few family ties and little education.
As a result, Somali youth, who account for 75 percent of the population of the whole country, are a Somali government focus and "simultaneously represent both the hope for a bright future and a possible source of instability," according to Beza Tesfaye, conflict and governance research manager for Mercy Corps and the author of the report.
In response, the Somali government has been supporting programs such as the SYLI program, which operates in Somalia and Somaliland, to increase access to secondary education, in order to move young people away from the potential lure of extremist violence.
However, as the report indicates, education alone is not enough and in fact can have unwanted and counterproductive consequences. For example, although the survey found that improving access to secondary education through the SYLI program reduced youth reported participation in political violence by 16 percent, it actually increased their reported likelihood of supporting political violence by 11 percent.
This could be due to the fact that education may have created greater awareness of historical injustices and raised expectations among students that turned to frustrations, Tesfaye said.
In contrast, the survey found that combining secondary education with civic engagement opportunities resulted in reported drops in students' propensity to both participate in and support violence by 14 percent and 20 percent, respectively. These opportunities include young people constructing small gardens in school grounds, organizing International Peace Day events, and taking part in sanitation and hygiene campaigns.
"One big implication from this study for youth programming was that you have to address both the lack of skills that young people are facing but also the lack of opportunities, and just doing one without the other is not adequate," Tesfaye said.
"Education alone is not enough — you raise the expectations and give students the tools but you don't give them the platform to exercise some of what they have learned. And if that doesn't happen then those raised expectations have the risk of being turned into frustration and grievances," said Feysal Osman, civic engagement specialist for Mercy Corps in Somalia.
As a result of the study, Osman said Mercy Corps had realized that education interventions need to be complemented with civic engagement opportunities so that students' "raised expectations do not turn to frustration and violence."
On the back of these findings, Mercy Corps is urging the international development community and Somalia's government to increase investment and political commitment into youth education and civic society initiatives.
While the research was done in Somaliland, the SYLI program is being implemented throughout Somalia. Tesfaye acknowledged that Somaliland's political and security context does differ in some ways from that of Somalia. The policy implications in the report are addressed to the national government because its policies, including the recent National Strategy and Action Plan on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism, applies to the entire country, including Somaliland, Tesfaye said.

I mean particulary translations: What must be translated > and where could one find it? This question brings to my mind what I was wondering a couple of months ago: how come there isn't a central documentation server, a kind of "docforge" where all translators, reviewers, and authors share a common interface and methodology? It's doubtless that, IMHO, open source has boosted bacause SourceForge has provided an infrastructure that makes programmers' life easier. There are a lot of of projects out there trying to address the i18n issue. The Translation Project, Gnutemberg in some way, DDTP for Debian, just to mention a few. The MLs where people are discussing about translations and stuff are countless. If you think about it, all those projects require for each document one or more translators and one ore more reviewers who need to communicate to each other, and a common glossary. So why not provide a unifor framework where document authors can call for translation, a server with common procedure to preliminary translate a .po file with all the .po files registered on the server, a host where users can work on a language-based and document-based glossaries through dedicated MLs. In the end, when the document has passed all the given steps (e.g., translation, review, etc.), the author is warned that a new translation of their document is ready for consumption. I know, it's a long term project, but we can start out with a procedure draft which all languages should agree upon. Subsequently, programmers can join and put in practice what we wrote. -- email: email@example.com Jabber: email@example.com Fingerprint: 8CDD 3408 53B2 6122 99DA EE37 1523 68FC D906 4C08
