South Bristol Link
The South Bristol Link starts at the A370 Long Ashton bypass and ends at Hengrove Park
Bus services on South Bristol Link
We fully expect a future Metrobus service, alongside the Airport Flyer and the current Bath Airdecker, will use the South Bristol Link. MetroBus has been designed to be a commercial service that is operated without council subsidy. The public transport infrastructure the councils have built along the South Bristol Link will allow bus operators to run a commercial service as soon as housing development has taken place.
Where high quality sustainable transport options, like Metrobus, are integrated into housing development at the planning stage or at the time of major investment they are well-used. It is much more difficult to 'retro-fit' sustainable transport into a development as travel habits will have already been established.
Construction has nearly finished on 82 homes in Imperial Park and Barratt Homes are about to start building 150 new homes on Filwood Green, an area of open land between Creswicke Road and Hengrove Way. Bristol City Council are planning for 2000 homes on the site of the old Whitchurch Airport and expects the first residents will be in the new homes by the end of 2020. Direct connections to the Metrobus network are included in the plans for each of the new housing developments.
Making sure that high quality public transport infrastructure is in place before housing means that people who move into these new developments are more likely to use the bus. Planning sustainable transport options as an integral part of development from the start can lead to healthier and happier communities where people have a genuine choice about how they get around.
There are also proposals in the Joint Spatial Plan and Joint Local Transport Plan for a new Park and Ride site on the South Bristol Link near the A38. Buses serving this proposed Park and Ride would use the South Bristol Link and serve the communities on it.
Bus services already using the South Bristol Link
The Airdecker bus service that runs between Bath, Keynsham and Bristol Airport has been using the South Bristol Link since it opened in January 2017.

921 Santas cycle the South Bristol Link
921 Santas cycled along the South Bristol Link before it opened to motorists in December 2016. Caring in Bristol, a local charity that look after homeless and vulnerable people in Bristol were collecting donations on the ride. Their volunteer-led projects include recruiting hosts for young and vulnerable people over the festive period.

Wave Sensory
Wave Manipulation
One of the functions that Wave Frequency Mode possesses, it allows Altheumelia to perform 3 functions:
- Wave Creation (Sublimation): Altheumelia can create and emit Energy Waves with her own Symphonic Energy in her body; however, she can only create and emit D-Waves, H-Waves, Hz-Waves and (very small amounts of) P-Waves. Depending on the amount of Symphonic Energy she has, she can either create vast or small amounts of Energy Waves.
- Wave Interference (Deletion): Altheumelia can erase and negate Energy Waves to recover small amounts of Symphonic Energy. However, N-Waves are an exception to this unfortunately. Because N-Waves are too unstable and violent in frequencies, they can only by eroded by themselves, like a radioactive atom with a half-life.

- Hymn Palm
- Hymn's Enchantment
- Melody Arrow
- Solfeggio
- Song Warp
Spell Songs
- Ahih Reiyah (ESP>>/Ahih_Rei-Yah / IPA: əhiː reɪjə'''): This song was used by Altheumelia in Manjusara to protect the city and its inhabitants from a Wave Burst. Like Antiphona, it holds the purpose of protection, only that this song has a wider protection radius, and is designed specifically for protection against Wave Bursts, since other Spell Songs are not strong enough to withstand its energy barrages.
- Alphomega (EXIM/::/_Alphomega)
- Antiphona
- Aortum
- Apeiros Gefyrosi (RENUM_Apeiros=Gefyrosi/.#MOOD_Iriodes => CODE::Arrya=Lexicon)
- Avedelria (Omniel::AVEDELRIA)
- Battlesphere
- Cassazione Vistra (Omniel::CASSAZIONE_VISTRA)
- Cieln Protecta (Cliass::CIEL_N_PROTECTA)
- Cosmoflips (EXEL_COSMOFLIPS): A Hymmno-Extrium designed specifically for Alpha Cielas. It was used in ancient times to commune with the Wills of the other worlds and with the Ale'Cieldras. Altheumelia used this song to communicate and negotiate with Sol'Ru, a Will of Mobius, when Quaver's Idiom failed. It was designed after and based upon Quaver's Idiom and has the same function and purpose as the song, only this song has a higher wave frequency that only Wills and Ale'Cieldras would understand, which is why it was used in ancient times.
- Distillista (Cliass::DISTILLISTA)
- Divinus Iudicium (Omniel::DIVINUS=IUDICIUM / IPA: dɪvɪnʌs ɪʲʊdɪsɪʌm'''): Altheumelia's most powerful Spell Song, it traps her opponents in an illusory realm and unleashes barrages of Symphonic Energy and aether, before finishing off with the realm exploding in a myriad of light, overloading the opponents with high-frequency Symphonic H-Waves and Vx-Waves.
- Ethersphere
- Faselinya: A Spell Song crafted by Altheumelia during her time captured by Sanguis Deviliam. It proves effective in seeking targets who carry evil or dark intentions. It unleashes beams of light.
- Flipsphere
- Harmoncordia
- Ionphelim (Omniel::IONPHELIM)
- Jinghualaya (Que:S:/=/Jinghualaya / IPA: ʤɪŋhʷəlaɪʲə'''): A Spell Song modelled and based on the Song Paja. Like Paja, it holds the same functions and capabilities of purging and deleting any abnormalities or "viruses" in systems, but it also holds a more advanced and additional function. It also expels any spirit with evil or dark intentions from its host. It manifests in the form of a wave of energy beams raining down from the sky upon the target.
- Luminomia (RENUM_Luminomia/.#MOOD_Nirvana => CODE::Physilia=Fushe): This Spell Song is Altheumelia's RENUM Class Song. It summons her Cosmophase AETHERIUM_ASTERA into action.
- Lxa Ticia (Cf.//Lxa_Tisia)
- Mana's Paean
- Metafalica
- Metempsychosis (EXEL_METEMPSYCHOSIS): A Hymmno-Extrium that Altheumelia had found during her travels. As its name implies, it initializes a being's transmigration from death to life, which simply means resurrection in some form. However, that's only possible using the Rinkernator in Ar Tonelico or Ethesecta, since they both hold special functions.
- Pacificordia (CF.EXEL_PACIFICORDIA)
- Psalexithaeriya (Psalexithaeriya.EXOLEM_cls.PSYKHAERDIA::Soleia=Phylixindra)
- Quaver's Idiom
- Resuplethia (MODILUM::Resuplethia / IPA: rɛsʊplɛθɪʲə'''): One of the Spell Songs that belong to the Senator of Soleia, it acts as the activation key song for Quon Desila to activate and change into Sierelux (Cannon) Mode.
- Solresol: A Spell Song in Altheumelia's possession since she possesses the authority and status as the (120th) Senator of Soleia. It allows her to temporarily "borrow" Shurelia's D-Cellophane stored within the servers of Ar Tonelico, giving her a dramatic increase in power and authority.
- Solumisa (IPA: sɒlʊmɪsə): One of Altheumelia's main methods of healing, Solumisa focuses on comforting and soothing the souls, heart and minds of allies.
- Sphilia (EXEL_SPHILIA): Altheumelia used this song in order to commune and console the Heart of Gaea in Moocheriel. It has no special functions, except only for conveying feelings.
- Suspensium (EXEL_SUSPENSIUM / IPA: sʌspɛnsɪʊm'''): A Spell Song that shuts down a Song Server and places all Hymmnosens connected to that tower into a state of deep sleep/coma in a case of emergency.
- Symphonia
- Theravada (EXIQUEM/::/_Theravada / IPA: tʰɛərəvədə'''): This is one of Altheumelia's main methods of healing via Song Magic. It heals any physical or magical damage inflicted on herself or her allies.
- Violencia: A powerful and destructive weapon in Altheumelia's arsenal of Song Magic. Created by feelings of hatred, vengeance and rage, this song would be capable of destroying a building and killing anyone. However, due to Altheumelia's pacifistic and gentle nature, and her love for all life, that interferes with the power and capabilities with the Spell Song. Therefore, the most severe forms of damage it can do are severely damaging living targets to the point of where their enter a death-like coma state or to the point of severe elemental damage that would not kill, but rather pose as a severe annoyance and irritation, like burns for example.
- Vlibarphel Layhalltia (REGIS::{Vlibarphel=Layhalltia})

Weapons & Items
Shiyalena (Staff)
- Altheumelia --despite her gentle nature, has a fierce temper, which is difficult to set off, but once it is, her anger is described as "fierce enough to make anyone run for their lives, even terrorists, evil or even the Ale'Cieldra themselves." by Jacqli, who implies that she inherited this from her mother Aerleumina, who in turn inherited it from her ancestor Shurelia. When Altheumelia becomes enraged, she becomes incredibly destructive and violent, unleashing anger-enhanced-Song Magic Spells here and there, and attacking anything that either sets her off even further, or the catalyst who sparked it him or herself. And even though Altheumelia loses herself to anger does not mean her sense of wisdom and awareness of her own actions is diminished or clouded, meaning she is quite aware of what she does and does not charge blindly.
- Fast, nimble and agile, can evade attacks easily.
- It does not take much effort to shatter Altheumelia's confidence and self-esteem-- results are not pleasant. This shall probably improve as time goes on.
- Due to her naïve yet gentle, wise, timid and kind-hearted nature, this makes her seen as an "innocent child that needs to be 'protected'" by her friends and others, becoming rather overprotective much to her dismay.
- Once Altheumelia has been set off, it is highly difficult in consoling and calming her down, and she will not stop until she has dealt with the person who sparked her rage into action. However, Jacqli seems to be able to stop Altheumelia with her favourite dessert: Strawberry Ice Cream.
- She can feel highly insulted and offended easily whenever her chest size is mentioned, such as the case when Liarsha_XP (equipped and illegally programmed with the Dorodere personality patch) did this.
Phyloxiyma is a genetic condition that causes the person's bodily systems to malfunction at times, and can cause instability in a Hymmnosen's D-Waves and H-Waves, which can cause life-threatening factors to arise. Due to having this condition, Altheumelia has to be careful. This condition is also incurable, but there have been rumours of a way to cure Phyloxiyma.
- She should avoid any form of impure air around-- inhaling any form of it can damage her already-weakened lungs.
- Due to this condition, her sensibility and vulnerability to Zolorium radiation is enhanced. Even the smallest amounts can send her heart into irregular heartbeats and into heart attacks. If exposed to large amounts of it, she will fall unconscious and suffer seismic fits (seizures in their most severe form) for about 10-20 mins. During this, she can possibly die, because the seismic fits are signs of her D-Waves going berserk, so in order to stop the seizures is to stabilize her D-Waves through some way.
- Her body is weak and fragile, capable of caving in easily from a single hit in close-range, and her immune system is weak, which would mean she would easily die from a fever or cold. Thus, she takes daily medications to help her body and suppress her condition.

Engage Nova Scotia will help address the economic and demographic challenges outlined in the report of the Nova Scotia Commission on Building Our New Economy.
"The Ivany Report identified our need as Nova Scotians to face our challenges squarely and overcome the 'psychological barriers of division, distrust and discouragement' that sometimes hold us back," says Ramona Lumpkin, chair of Engage Nova Scotia. "Engage Nova Scotia is committed to helping facilitate this unprecedented opportunity for Nova Scotians to take a fresh look at who we are, where we want to go and how we're going to get there."
The One Nova Scotia Commission called for continued public engagement and recognized the importance of Engage Nova Scotia's contributions. The report also called on Nova Scotians to take greater responsibility for their future. The One Nova Scotia Coalition supports the efforts of Engage to encourage new ideas in regions across the province.
"We know we have to take the future into our own hands and Engage is helping us do that," said deputy warden Jim Mustard, Inverness. "Engage Nova Scotia and Engage Inverness County helped us convene an unprecedented gathering of over 100 community members. It's a new way for public, private and not-for-profit sectors to work together to build a healthier and more prosperous Nova Scotia."
Engage Nova Scotia is a citizen-led, registered charity comprised of hundreds of volunteers from all walks of life. It brings together everyday people, committed businesses and diverse organizations to help build a culture of self-reliance and collaboration through training and public engagement support. Last fall, it inspired Nova Scotia families to host newcomers for Thanksgiving dinner in one effort to encourage immigrant retention. Close to 1,000 people participated.
Government will join private and public sector investors in providing $200,000 and has agreed to match funds raised from other private sector sources to a maximum of an additional $200,000.

Author Predicts Australia on the Road to Anarchy
|It might be a piece of fiction, but Garcia's Smoking House based on current events, highlights how the lack of real democracy and too many social laws leads to a revolution in Australia. In his book, author Kevin Glancy takes a big swipe at Left-wing politics and its complete lack of tolerance and respect for the democratic process. He highlights the current carbon tax debate as a classic example. "If you don't agree with Left-wing opinion, you are called names like denier, extremist, stupid, etc. Left-wing media commentators have even called for the gassing and tattooing of those who disagree with the need for a carbon tax. Despite the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the science is not settled, in Australia, you are derided for having similar views."Glancy also states that contrary to the view held particularly amongst younger people, it is those on the Left, who with the introduction of social laws and higher taxes, are the ones eroding individual freedom and not the Right side of politics.
|Garcia's Smoking House is a chilling piece of fiction that portrays an unsettling future for life in Australia: a future where individual freedom is now a thing of the past, as governments continue to enact 'social engineering' laws that control nearly every aspect of a person's life. Anarchy provides the only solution, as people, tired of being treated like children, take their fight for democracy to the streets. Into the picture steps Tony Ellison, an amateur political activist obsessed by the pursuit of a lost democracy, who risks everything in order to change the status quo. But those in control, such as Commander Alan Draper, head of the Anti-Terrorist Squad, and Government Minister William Tolfer, have the means to eliminate anyone who threatens the balance of power. As they implement the Smoking House Law, one that will mean further oppression, violence escalates, building to total chaos. Draper and Tolfer possess 'green' secrets,' but with the power of government behind them, are determined to keep the secrets buried at any cost.About the Author: Kevin Glancy raises relevant questions about how the powers that be can insidiously promote their socialist agendas under the guise of social change for the greater good. With a riveting plotline incorporating political perceptions, it is an unsettling prediction of life in the future for any contemporary democracy. He is a former government senior adviser, journalist and songwriter and is currently writing his second novel.Contact: Ellen Green, Press Manager, Strategic Book Group – firstname.lastname@example.com'S SMOKING HOUSE (ISBN: 978-1-60860-650-4) is available as an Ebook or in Hard cover for $26.99 and can be ordered through the publisher's website and most book sellers:www.Strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/GarciasSmokingHouse.html

Roadside Stone Mould is made of high quality polypropylene as raw material, advanced fully automatic injection processing equipment and strict quality management. It has the advantages of strong toughness, high brightness, not easy to deform, low breakage rate and so on.
Roadside stone moulds and tools can be customized according to the different needs of users to meet the different needs of the market. This method of consumption of roadside stones greatly reduces the cost of products, but also reduces the consumption cycle.
It is unrealistic for Luyan Stone Mould Company to survive in the company's splendid scene only by speculation, second-best and high-cost advertising. In good advertising, even though passers-by know that the quality of Luyan Stone Mould products is not up to standard, it will lead to a large loss of users.
And the reputation in the mold industry will become worse and worse. For purchasers, high-quality roadside stone mold is the best advertising, the best reputation.

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2018 -- Transparency Market Research states that the global extracorporeal membrane machine oxygenation machine market has a moderately fragmented competitive landscape. Some of the key players in the global market Medtronic Plc., Terumo Corporation, Getinge AB, Xenios AG, MicroPort Scientific Corporation, Eurosets S.r.l., Nipro Corporation, ALung Technologies, Inc, and LivaNova PLC. The report states that the companies are expected to make product launches to garner a wider consumer base. Furthermore, players are expected to venture into newer markets through partnerships and agreements to widen their business operations.

According to the research report, the global extracorporeal membrane machine oxygenation machine market was valued at US$307.00 mn in 2016. During the forecast period of 2017 and 2025, the global market is expected to rise at a CAGR of 5.4% to reach a valuation of US$487.40 mn by the end of 2025. In terms of components, the global market is likely to be led by oxygenators during the forecast period. As of 2016, this segment held a share of 38.4% in the global market and is expected to continue its dominance. Geographically, North America is expected to dominate the global market due to better medical facilities in the region.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine is used for people whose heart cannot pump enough blood to the body, or lungs cannot exhale carbon dioxide even with help from a mechanical ventilator, or lungs cannot provide enough oxygen to the body even giving oxygen mechanically.
Rising incidence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are driving the growth of the global extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine market. Increasing need for use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines in newborns boosts the demand for the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines. Rising prevalence of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and meconium aspiration syndrome in infants drives the global extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine market. Increasing preference for the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine boosts the market exponentially.

Growing awareness about treating complicated respiratory issues and increasing disposable income in the emerging economies are also expected to support the global ECMO market. The report also points out that better healthcare facilities in developed nations, supportive insurance schemes, and affordable healthcare are also likely to fuel the growth of the overall market in the forthcoming years. The growing investments by governments of developing countries to improve the healthcare infrastructure is projected to have a positive impact on the global ECMO market in the long run. The report also highlights that increasing adoption of ECMOs for intensive care in critical conditions has worked in favor of the market. The unfortunate rise in demand for long-term oxygenation support for patients awaiting lung transplantation has played an integral role in augmenting the growth of the global ECMO market.
Despite the powerful market drivers, the global extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine market is likely to come across a few restraints. The high cost associated with the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine a considered to be one the most significant restraints for the global market. However, the consistent investment in research and development of better technology is projected to open up several lucrative opportunities for the global market.

Monday night, I met Patrick and his mom at our church grounds which conveniently is right down the street from their house. I had a couple of reasons for suggesting this: the church grounds are beautiful, I was teaching CCD until 5:15 and wanted to get started right away and the church means a lot to their family. Actually the church is how I know them (which I'm sure makes it even more special for them) and I met Patrick when he was in the 5th grade and went to CCD at the same time as my daughter who was in the third grade. Even though I have known Patrick for a long time, this was really the first time that I got a chance to spend any real time with him. I was very pleasantly surprised at how agreeable and cooperative that he was (only because he is a teenage boy, after all!). I really shouldn't have been though because his mom is just wonderful, always very helpful and kind. Patrick has obviously inherited some of her wonderfulness because he could not have been nicer or more congenial. We started at the church where there were an abundance of trees that I couldn't help posing Patrick under, against or sometimes, in.

April 30 (~10:45 – ~18:00)
Tehachapi Willow Springs Road – mountaintop after Highway 58 (14.4 mi / Total: 572.9 mi)
Weather: Warm, then… storm!
After a zero in Tehachapi, we're in no hurry to leave. We have breakfast at the hotel, then slowly gather our things and walk across town to find a good spot to hitch from, and we get picked up quite easily by a local and are dropped off at the Willow Springs Road trailhead.
Our packs are heavy, as they usually are, after leaving town. I still have a punnet of strawberries and discard them into a ziplock bag which I carry in my hands as we commence the trail once again. We have a long water carry as well – there's no water until later in the day tomorrow, so we all carry as much as we can, which is about 3 litres for me, and lots more for the others.
The first part of the trail is not too interesting. We finish the 8 mile section between Willow Springs Road and Highway 58, which is quite flat, and cross another wind farm. This one is not too scenic, but the final few miles are nice – the switchbacks down to the Highway 58 overpass are quick and fun and the smell of purple wildflowers is overwhelming.
After the overpass we follow the trail next to the highway for a while, until we begin to move up, and we sidle higher and higher, a steep climb that exerts me. As I get higher in elevation, the wind gets stronger, and it gets to the point where the wind is so forceful that it seems to blow all the oxygen away before I can even inhale it – and I have trouble breathing, making me cup my hands around my mouth in an attempt to draw in air.
It doesn't take long for the wind to turn to an absolute force. Several times I'm almost blown off my feet, and I run across ridge lines to get across before the wind can fling me off the mountainside. It must be hitting me at more than 30 mph, and it gets to a point where I realise it's quite dangerous to continue, and then I meet Speedy and Prince again, at the top of the mountain.
We decide to hunker down and find a spot for the night. There's a tentsite in the trees, although the wind is raging past, so we cowboy camp in a row, the setting up quite a fun ordeal with the freezing wind blowing everything away. Then we lie down, ready to try and sleep. As long as the tree branches right above us don't get torn off the tree and fall right on top of us…

Bharti Airtel, India's largest telecommunications services provider, announced that its women employees can now avail maternity leave of up to 22 weeks – up from 12 weeks currently. The enhanced benefits are applicable for adoption as wee – women employees can avail 12 weeks of maternity leave if the child's age is leass than 2 years and 6 weeks if age is above 2 years. The male employees can also avail 1 week of paternity leave in both the cases.
Additionally, the company provides flexible work options to the working mothers before fully resorting to full working hours post maternity leave. Airtel's Gurgaon office also provides modern day care facilities for children of its employees.
The recent changes in the parental policy are in accordance with the company's vision to make Airtel a great place to work and promote gender diversity across all management levels. The organization recognizes the physical, emotional and psychological demands of childbirth/adoption and wants to provide adequate support to employees in maintaining balance between their role as parents and their professional commitments at work. The company is committed to provide same or equivalent role/position to an employee upon her return after availing maternity leave. Also, the period when an employee was on maternity leave will not be taken into account for performance assessment.
Gopal Vittal, MD & CEO (India & South Asia), Bharti Airtel, said. "We are fully committed to promote gender diversity across all levels of the organization. With this new policy, our aim is to offer adequate work-life balance to our women employees and ensure that they continue to contribute to the Airtel growth story."

The Liberal Democrats have set out a comprehensive plan ahead of the local elections to support struggling high streets across England, including for Bramley & Armley town centres.
Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Armley & Bramley described the plans as "exactly the sort of policy we need to boost local investment and ensure businesses thrive".
The proposals, agreed by Liberal Democrats at their Spring Conference in York, set out plans that would:
- Boost support for local entrepreneurs, including subsidised work space and business support for start-ups.
- Reform planning law, enabling councils to ensure that commercial space is used flexibly and efficiently.
- Introduce publicly-accessible local asset registers, enabling local entrepreneurs to identify promising business opportunities
- Use local insights to improve customers' experiences, including by providing free public Wi-Fi.
- Create a new industry-led body to help retailers adapt to the digital economy.
The Liberal Democrats are also campaigning to replace the broken business rates system with a tax on land values. This would be paid by the owners rather than tenants, in order to discourage leaving property empty.
Liberal Democrat Local Government Spokesperson Tim Farron said:
"With shops closing and too many people losing their jobs, there can be no doubt that our high streets are in crisis. The absolute mess the Tories have made of Brexit bears some of the blame, but the roots of this crisis run far deeper.
"From the rise of online retail to the burden of business rates and local planning failures, people are crying out for solutions. It doesn't need to be this way. People deserve better and Liberal Democrats demand better."
Liberal Democrat spokesperson Dan Walker said:
"It is the responsibility of the current Conservative Government to ensure that our businesses are able to thrive, but Ministers in Whitehall are not doing anywhere near enough.
"That is why Liberal Democrats are campaigning to create the environment needed for local businesses to grow and create jobs in West Leeds. Our message is clear; every Liberal Democrat elected in May is another voice championing our town centres."

Looks like Garmin have been cooking something up and are almost ready to launch.
This report suggests it will have built in LTE networking and so could be the Garmin Marq we mentioned previously
It also has NFC (Wrist payment) and Bluetooth as expected. It doesn't seem to have Ant+ transmission so possibly doesn't have wrist HR.
It has a round watch face.
It has a different menu structure than a Fenix, the FCC notice is at settings, sysem, about rather than settings, about.
If I had to guess (and this blog kinda means I do) I'd say this is a WearOS device rather than a pure training device judging on the current evidence. Either way, it's great to see Garmin experimenting with LTE on the wrist. This device could live in various families at Garmin, including golf, outdoors, fitness, aviation, marine. I'm going to rule out the specialist marine and aviation markets – LTE just isn't useful there specifically. That leaves fitness (no Ant+ retransmission of HR?), Outdoors (LTE would kill the battery mid-hike) and golf. I just don't see a golf specific watch needing these features so a new category of pure smart watch seems most likely.
Exciting to see something so different.

PayVector leads the way in payment technology and innovation. We keep a close eye on the market and are always improving our technologies and developing new products. Please check here regularly for the latest news and updates.
Did you know that Visa is changing the way businesses are charged for processing debit card payments?
Don't worry, PayVector's got your back!
We will ensure that our current merchants receive the same cost-effective rates that they have always had, and all new merchants can rest assured that our acquiring partners aim to continue offering new rates at the lowest prices on the market.
What are interchange fees?
Interchange fees are paid by your merchant account provider to your customer's (cardholder's) bank every time a Visa or MasterCard payment is processed.
The rates of interchange fees depend on the type of card (credit or debit), the associated risk (capture environment – ECOM or MOTO), and the country where the transaction takes place.
Credit card interchange fees are priced as a small percentage of the value of the payment.
Debit card interchange fees have, until up March 2015, been priced as a small flat fee.
Who enforces interchange fees? What are they used for?
The major card schemes, Visa and MasterCard, charge interchange fees to your merchant account provider to cover the costs of operating the card services.
According to Visa Europe, "Interchange is used to help the payment system function quickly and securely". Interchange fees also contribute to investments in keeping electronic payments straightforward and secure for merchants and their customers.
What is changing and why?
The European Commission has decided to regulate consumer interchange fees across Europe. As part of this regulation Visa debit payments will be charged as a small percentage, similar to how credit card transactions have historically been priced.
In order to meet the European Commission's new requirements, the Visa UK Board has changed all Visa interchange fees to a percentage-based model.
Merchant Account Rates: pre-March 2015 March 2015
Visa Debit
£0.xx x.xx%
How will this impact UK businesses?
Merchant account providers pass interchange fees onto their merchants. Visa suggests that this won't affect merchants who process low value transactions, but it will mean higher value transactions will have higher interchange fees attached to them.
In order to relieve the pain on merchants, Visa has capped the amount of interchange that can be paid per debit transaction.
What does this mean for PayVector merchants?
Most of PayVector's acquiring partners have also imposed the cap on Visa debit interchange, but a couple have chosen not to. PayVector will no longer set up our merchants with our acquiring partners that don't impose the cap. The PayVector commitment has always been to deliver the most cost-effective acquiring rates to our merchants, and that is not going to change.
What will this means for PayVector White Label Resellers?
PayVector White Label Resellers will still have access to our current acquiring relationships, including those that don't cap the Visa debit card interchange fee. How White Label Resellers price their merchants with their fully branded system is completely up to them.
If you have any questions or require clarification about interchange and card schemes, please contact our friendly Support Team on 020 8819 3460 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Forbes.com has teamed up with the authors of Ernst & Young Tax Guide 2006 to develop a series of tips to help you avoid paying more tax than necessary. The circumstances of your situation will determine if you qualify, so review the tax code and check with your tax adviser.
Here are ten things you need to know about alimony.
Definition Of Alimony
Alimony is payment required in a divorce that's not considered child support or a property settlement. In certain circumstances, alimony is deductible from gross income for the spouse who pays it and included in the income of the spouse who receives it.
New Rules
The Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 completely restructured the alimony rules. The old rules still apply to alimony payments made under pre-1985 divorce and separation agreements, unless those agreements have been specifically modified.
A payment for a spouse under a divorce or separation agreement is alimony if the spouses do not file a joint return with each other and the following requirements are met: a) The payment is in cash, b) The agreement doesn't designate the payment as not alimony, c) The spouses are not members of the same household at the time the payments are made. This applies only if the spouses are legally separated under a divorce or separate maintenance decree. d) There is no liability to make any payment in cash or property after the death of the recipient spouse, and e) The payment is not treated as child support.
Child Support
A payment that is specifically designated as child support under your divorce or separation decree is not alimony. The designated amount or part may vary from time to time. Child support payments are neither deductible by the payer nor taxable to the recipient.
How To Deduct Alimony
You can deduct alimony you paid whether or not you itemize deductions on your return. You must file Form 1040 and you can't use 1040A or 1040EZ. Enter the amount of alimony paid on line 31a. In the space provided on line 31b, enter your spouse's Social Security number.
More Than One Ex-Spouse
If you paid alimony to more than one person, enter the Social Security number of one of the recipients on the tax return. Show the Social Security number and amount paid to each recipient on an attached statement. Enter your total payment on line 31a.
How To Report Alimony Received
Report alimony you received on Form 1040, line 11. You can't use for 1040A or 1040EZ. Caution: You must give the person who paid the alimony your Social Security number. If you don't, you may have to pay a $50 penalty.
Reduced Payments
When you figure a decrease in alimony, don't include a) Payments made under a temporary support order, b) Payments required over a period of at least three calendar years of a fixed part of your income from a business or property, or from compensation for employment or self-employment, and c) Payments that decrease because of the death of either spouse or the remarriage of the spouse receiving the payments.
Transfer Of Property
If property is transferred in settlement of marital rights, the spouse making the transfer does not recognize either gain or loss on the transfer, whether the property has appreciated or declined in value. The transfer is treated like a gift. This is true even if the spouse receiving the property pays cash, and the transaction is cast as a sale.
Home Expenses
If part of an alimony award is used to pay expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, mortgage interest and utilities for a house owned by a divorced couple, the facts in each case determine the amount deductible by one spouse and can be included by the other.

Now Get Rs 2000 Off On A Moto G In Exchange For Your Old Phone
Online retailer Flipkart announced a new deal where buyers looking for a Moto G can now buy it for Rs 2000 less. Basically you get a discount when you exchange your old phone for a brand new Moto G.
The Moto G sold out like hotcakes on Flipkart and it seems that the online retailer is not satisfied by the sales numbers just yet. Exchange deals by manufacturers are pretty limited in nature which is why Flipkart is accepting devices from both International and Indian manufacturers like Karbonn, Lava and XOLO.
The buying process is pretty simple. You head to the Moto G page on Flipkart and then click on the 'with exchange' tab. Then you simply fill in 3 details regarding the device you want to handover in exchange for a Moto G. This would include the brand or make of your device, model number and your IMEI number as well. Then simply fill in the payment details and wait for the delivery guy to reach your doorstep. This because you will need to hand over your old used phone to him after he hands you your brand new Moto G.
The offer is applicable on both the 8 and 16 GB variants of the Moto G. Your old phone will have to be in a working condition (something that the field executive will check). Makes us wonder if there are any offers coming up for the Moto X as well.

SINGAPORE - The Singapore Slingers plan to test potential signing point guard Jeff Viernes from the Philippines in the Merlion Cup from Sept 21-25 to see if they should sign him for next season's Asean Basketball League.
Head coach Neo Beng Siang said: "Hopefully (Viernes) can adapt fast enough to get our team ready because he's our point guard.
"(Wong) Wei Long is still there but (Viernes) will need to get everybody organised in a team offence that will play a big part (to their success)."
Kris Rosales, one of their three foreign players last season, has left to play in the Philippines.
Neo relishes the opportunity for the Slingers to take on top-quality teams such as Yao Ming's Shanghai Sharks and Philippines Mighty Sport at the Merlion Cup, which is making a comeback after a 20-year hiatus.
He said: "This is the first time our boys will get to play with such high-level teams, especially the (Seoul Samsung Thunders), the Philippines (Mighty Sport) and the Shanghai Sharks. It's a very good experience to play against them and hopefully get something out of it before our ABL season starts.
"We want the team to be ready for next season but we want something from this. If we can make it to the semi-finals, that's even better."
The Merlion Cup will also boast sides such as ABL champions Westport Malaysia Dragons, and Chinese Taipei's Kinmen Kaoling Liquor.
Organisers hope to build from this year's edition and attract more clubs in the future.
President of the Basketball Association of Singapore, David Ong, said: "A lot of the basketball fraternity talk about the Merlion Cup in quite a nostalgic way, they love it. We've seen how much this means to the basketball fraternity.
"We will step up efforts to get more teams from other countries like the Americas, Australia, Europe... If we do it right (and make it) well-managed and successful then we can attract bigger teams to come."

Helping People to Contribute Effectively During Meetings
There are many reasons for non-participation during meetings including lack of preparation, shyness, being overawed by rank or someone's specialist knowledge, being put off by another's aggressiveness or dominant behaviour or just pure laziness.
To draw out the silent type and protect them from intimidation it might be helpful to ask questions that tap their expertise, praise their good ideas, openly note their contributions, call on those that are shy or junior first.
Of course you may also have to limit the long winded. This can be done by setting the ground rules at the start including how long any one person can speak for at a time. You should also request that remarks be confined to the topic of discussion. If someone still insists on an opera length speech you may have to tactfully but firmly insist that you move on.
It is equally important to remain focused on the agenda and what needs to be achieved. To do this you will want to summarise progress and remind everyone of the meeting's objectives. You will also have to interrupt if the discussion gets out of hand, off topic, too heated or rowdy. Act quickly if a serious disagreement arrises.
Sometimes a participant may have something worthy to contribute but may not be the best public speaker. At such times it is the chair's job to rescue that person by helpfully summating what they think he/she was trying to say.
As the meeting chair you should work to encourage diverse points of view, especially if it is a problem solving or brainstorming session. Well run meetings enable a group of people to achieve more than the sum of their individual efforts, through the creation of synergy and the combination of their collective expertise.
As the chair you should encourage all opinions and perspectives to be explored but be prepared to hightlight bias and oversights. Some participants will need to broaden their viewpoints while others must be encouraged to be more realistic.
To generate ideas you may want to try brainstorming, asking open questions (ones that cannot be simply answered by yes or no), encourage partial ideas, reserve your own ideas until the end, clarify and paraphrase for others (make sure you ask them to confirm that you have it right), and the use of verbal and non-verbal reinforcement.

Simone is an Italian comic book illustrator, painter, graphic designer and art instructor, known to Italian audiences for his work in comics, CD covers, music videos, TV commercials and role-playing games. His first American comic book work was for DC comics such as Detective Comics and Green Lantern. In 2006, Simone signed an Exclusive Contract with Marvel and has had runs on Wolverine, Astonishing X-Men, and Thanos Rising. Bianchi's style is distinguished by his use of ink wash, or watercolor halftones, in rendering his work, a non-traditional technique by mainstream American standards.

I've been interested in politics and government from a very early age, as many of my elementary and high school friends on Facebook can likely attest. I recall vividly being heavily invested in the outcome of the 1968 US Presidential election.
I was 10.
I majored in Political Science at SUNY Stony Brook before graduating in 1981. In 1998, I ran for the New York State Assembly from a heavily unreceptive district on Long Island

Beer Label
Malti da Legare is an Italian craft brewery that is constantly on the lookout for new experiments, fusions, innovations and cultural melting pots; and this is how their beers are created. Russian Imperial Stout, a key product of this craft brewery, is a beer with character formerly brewed in England for the Russian court. Faced with the challenge of launching new craft beer formulas with attractive images, Andrea Basile (from the graphic design studio ABasileADV) with his creative talent was entrusted with the branding and new image of the stout's label. The designer, who combined the unique and craft character of the beer with a captivating and youthful style, christened the Russian Imperial Stout as Barbanera – the Italian name for Blackbeard – the notorious pirate from England, where this variety of beer originates. Blackbeard represents not only the adventures on this beer's journey from England to Russia but also the adventure embarked upon by the Malti da Legare craft brewery.
The designers were inspired by the Manter Constellation Jade Raster self-adhesive paper produced by Arconvert. This is a natural paper made from pure cellulose, embossed and with an iridescent effect, which is not only used for the label (wrapped around the whole bottle) but also for the bottle's seal. The project experiments with a chromatic contrast: the shiny white of Arconvert's self-adhesive paper and the black of the elements used in the design that in turn are obtained from offset printing.
The design of this label won the first prize at the OpenArtAward 2018 for the Label section at ABasileADV.


text: sharesPinShareTweetLinkedInEmail You've spent years dealing with cringe-worthy online dating disasters and countless unreturned text messages—from both sides. But after everything, you finally met a diamond in the rough and he ticks all of the boxes: he's smart, kind, has a great job, loves your mom and even likes your crazy friends. Well…okay, he doesn't tick all of the boxes. Turns out, your dream man has awful style and thinks khaki cargo shorts with zip-off pant legs are cool. Fret not! You can easily revamp his closet without hurting his feelings if you follow these easy steps.How To Revamp Your Guys ClosetReally Get to Know HimYou can't give your guy a makeover if he is bound to immediately reject it. Which means you need to know him well enough to know what he would be willing to try. You need to work within a realm that he can still feel like himself in, not a realm that you feel like yourself in. If he feels the most comfortable in baggy jeans and sweatshirts, you probably don't want to gift him red skinny jeans and a scarf. Remember, he is your partner, not your doll.How To Revamp Your Guys Closet | Naturally StellarMan Crushes?Does your guy have any celebrity crushes that are men? Men are feeling increasingly more comfortable owning up to having a "man crush" nowadays and their crush is usually reflective of the type of guy they would most like to emulate. Think about it, most men will admit to finding Ryan Gosling handsome—Gosling just so happens to have a very well-tailored wardrobe that hearkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood. If your guy has a thing for an actor or musician, suggest wardrobe alternatives that align with the way that celebrity dresses. Not only will your man be more open to testing out clothing items he already associates with being cool. He will probably be pretty pumped about it too! Especially, if you continually reinforce how amazing you think he looks. Need a little help gathering Hollywood-worthy threads? Check out TrunkClub and have stylish pieces delivered to him every month. Find New JeansNow, back to the guy who loves to wear baggy jeans. Since skinny jeans are probably out (and as they should be, since it's not a good look for anyone over 19), you should suggest styles like straight-legged jeans, as they aren't skin-tight or super baggy. Go for a classic brand, like Levi's, and pick a solid dark blue that will match everything. Stay away from anything that is too trendy. For example, those awful fake-mud styles with the ripped knees.How To Revamp Your Guys Closet | Naturally StellarTackle the ShoesThe great thing about shoes is that they are incredibly versatile and most guys would love to have some dressier options sitting beside their sneakers, they just don't know where to start. While some guys can pull off wearing Jordans one night, motorcycle boots the next and penny-loafers the night after that, not all of them can. And the wrong pair of shoes can kill an otherwise impeccable ensemble – like sandals (keep them on the beach, guys!). When encouraging him to branch out, take the same approach as you did for jeans and go for classic looks and brands. Check out Adidas, Nike and Converse, all offering a bevy of options that work for any casual look. Once he's ready for some dressier options, make sure he goes with other definitive looks and cuts. Think Clark Gable, not Mick Jagger. CHECK THIS OUT ✴ Top 5 Fall Handbag Must-Haves with U by KotexBe Patient, But SneakyDrastic change is not going to happen overnight and if you try to change too much too fast, you can easily hurt his feelings. Instead, tackle one thing at a time and make sure you factor in his own comfort level and style when you can. If you know that he would revolt at the idea of a style makeover, you may want to approach it slyly. For example, you can ask him to go with you to help you pick out a new watch and while you are shopping, encourage him to try something new and give tons of positive reinforcement. Or, maybe he should check out one of those new dress watches that he doesn't need to know you already picked out online. If you do this enough times, you can slowly begin introducing new items into his wardrobe that will make him feel confident and secure.Eliza Picot hails from the East Coast but has found her true home in Denver, Colorado where she attended Johnson & Wales University.

I'm in the midst of revamping my husbands wardrobe. I've started with shoes since that seems to be the easiest thing. Reply Candice S. October 20, 2017 That's a good idea. Shoes seem a lot easier than working on wardrobe. Reply Kita October 17, 2017 I never had this issue. My hubs was always sharp. Heck he did better than me in the clothes department. Reply Zuqueta Elle October 17, 2017 I love this!! My hubby has clothes from 10 years ago. I am going to try these tips since we are redoing our closet! Reply Candice S. October 20, 2017 Mine does too. He'll hold on to stuff from a long time ago even if it doesn't fit anymore. I thought only women did that before I met him but I guess not. I have to purge the closet when he's at work so he doesn't miss it. Reply Queens of Virtue October 17, 2017 What great tips! Thank goodness that it's one that my guy can participate in as he is very stylish already! Reply Tiffany H. October 17, 2017 LOL I like the be sneaky part. Sometimes you do have to be sneaky in order for them to try new things. I've tried the drastic bright colors and it didn't work to well, but somethings I was able to execute,. LOL Reply Eva Wilson/SocaMom® (@SocaMomDC) October 16, 2017 My hubby is open to new styles, but flat front and skinny pants are still a no. He likes when I choose clothes and shoes for him, but most of the time my daughter takes him shopping. Reply Candice S. October 20, 2017 My hubby detests skinny jeans. Every pair he owns are baggy. Plus he has too much booty to be trying to squeeze into some skinny's Haa Haa!! Reply Style Domination October 16, 2017 LOVED this! Fun read! My hubbie used to have horrible style. Think "sports sandals" everywhere. Sigh. He got a subscription to GQ and majorly upped his style game! He embraced his conservative style and just dressed it up a little. I have to say, the man wears a suit like no other. Gorgeous. Reply Janelle McLeod (@imjanellemcleod) October 16, 2017 Yup.. Very true. I so agree with everything laid out here. Especially allowing "HIM" to have his own unique style and voice and not let it be what "I" want. It can get dangerous. Yea, I am seeing dudes are owning up to having "MCM" now these days too. Hey, I'm like "nothing wrong with that!" LOL. Reply mimicutelips October 16, 2017 This made me giggle. I'm so thankful my guy already had a sense of style. Over the years I've tweaked it a bit but nothing drastic. Reply Lia World Traveler October 16, 2017 Great tips! My guy does a pretty good job with organizing his closet but there is always room for improvement. Thanks! ReplyGot something to say? Leave a comment Cancel reply

Clinical case of total reconstruction in the upper jaw with guided surgery protocol and immediate loading
Nowadays modern surgical techniques are more and more moving towards simplified and minimally invasive protocols, aimed at offering patients more effective and highly predictable solutions with shorter treatment times. In addition, this approach makes treatments better tolerated, faster, with more comfortable postoperative courses and reduced costs.
Implant surgery also aligns with this general trend, and one of the brightest and most impressive examples is the Computer Assisted Surgery, more simply and perhaps improperly called Guided Surgery.

Water samples containing dissolved aluminum were collected from the Yellow and East China Seas in October–November 2000. The average concentrations of dissolved Al in the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS) were 0.042 and 0.056 μmolL−1, respectively. The concentration of dissolved aluminum decreased gradually across the continental shelf. The lower concentrations appeared in the YS cold water center and in the bottom layer at the shelf edge of the ECS, where they were 0.016 and 0.011 μmolL−1, respectively. The distribution of dissolved Al was controlled by physical mixing processes rather than biological uptake processes. The impact of different water masses along the PN transect was calculated based on the mass balance model. The results show that the impact of the Changjiang River was mainly concentrated on the coastal area and the top thermocline water on the ECS shelf, where the impact percentage decreased from 12.6% to 1.1% in the surface water, while the contribution of the Kuroshio water was dominant on the ECS shelf in this survey, increasing from 77.6% to 97.8% along the PN transect from the Changjiang River Estuary to the Ryukyu Islands. It is concluded that aluminum can serve as a proper tracer for studying the impact of Changjiang terrestrial matter on the ECS shelf water.

By using solid-state nuclear detectors, the air radon concentrations at 87 underground working places were measured during spring, summer and winter, respectively. The survey covered 23 cities whose annual radon concentrations range from 14.9 to 246.4 Bq · m−3 with an overall arithmetic mean value of 106.7 Bq · m−3. The average annual effective dose received by people working in these underground working places was 1.6 mSv, hence the lifetime fatality risk was 1.2 × 10−4. Fujian Province had the highest radon level during the survey. It is better to reduce the radon concentration heavily in summer because of higher radon concentration than in winter.

Dissolved Cu, Pb and Cd contents in the surface and bottom water samples collected from 36 stations in Pingtan waters (in Fujian Prov.), East China Sea, during two survey cruises in May and Oct. 1990 were determined for the first time by solvent extraction and atomic absorption spectrometry. Their content ranges (the mean values) in May were 0.32–2.02(0.81), 0.007–0.880(0.235) and 0.008–0.052(0.023) mg·m−3, respectively; those in Oct. were 0.52–1.79(0.88), 0.007–0.800(0.301) and 0.021–0.060(0.035) mg·m−3. The metals in May and Oct. had markedly different areal distributions characteristics mainly caused by mixing of various water systems. There were positive relationships between dissolved Cd and inorganic N in May, and between dissolved Cd and soluble phosphate in Oct. The obtained molar ratios, ΔCd:ΔN=1.1×10−5 and ΔCd:ΔP=5.8×10−4, were close to those in plankton reported, showing dissolved Cd's biogeochemical behaviour and process.

Naphthenic acids in petroleum are considered a class of biological markers. Their potential use in source correlation and as an indicator of biodegradation was reported in the past (Dzidic et al., 1988; Behar and Albrecht, 1984). Due to their highly complicated properties, detailed characterization of the acids is difficult.
A method based on positive ion CI (chemical ionization) mass spectrometry using isobutane reagent gas to produce (M+15)+ ions was applied to the analysis of naphthenic acid esters. Since the complex mixture of naphthenic acids cannot be separated into individual components, only the determination of relative distribution of acids classified in terms of hydrogen deficiency was possible. The identities and relative distribution of fatty and mono-, di-, tri-, and higher polycyclic acids were obtained from the intensities of the (M+15)+ ions according to z-series formula CnH2n+zO2 of naphthenic acids. The components are characterized on the basis of group type and carbon number distributions. A comparison of the FAB and CI results showed that the group type distributions obtained by both methods agree surprisingly well. The results indicated this method is simple, rapid and easy to operate. The geochemical implication of naphthenic acids was investigated by using a set of well-characterized crude oil samples. It is found that the naphthenic acid distribution can be used as a fingerprint for oil-oil and oil-source correlations.

Distribution, variation and impact factors of biomass of bacterioplankton from April to May 1999 in Bohai Sea were studied in DAPI method with epifluorescence microscopy. The biomass in surface waters showed a small day-night variation, varying from 0.13 to 2.51 μg/dm3 with an average of 0.84 μg/dm3. The biomass in bottom waters showed, however, a large variation, changing from 0.15 to 4.18 μg/dm3 with an average of 1.36 μg/dm3. The peak values occurred at 5 and 11 a.m. The bottom water biomass showed a significant correlation with particulate organic carbon (r=0.639,P<0.05). Heterotrophic bacterioplankton biomass was high in nearshore waters and low in offshore areas with a high biomass zone around Huanghe (Yellow) River mouth, showing the same distribution of nutrients. In vertical distribution, heterotrophic bacteria biomass in bottom waters was higher than that in surface water.

A Glimpse at Conferences – Past and Future
One of the best parts of being the Vice President Communications (in my opinion) is attending conferences to represent all of you, and this past term I got the chance to go to a few. Over the winter, the two conferences I attended were the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students (CFES) Congress and the Engineering Student Societies Council of Ontario (ESSCO) First Year Integration Conference (FYIC). If you want to know more about what happened at either of these conferences, please feel free to reach out to me.
This term, I will be bringing a delegation of Waterloo Engineers to ESSCO's Annual General Meeting (AGM) at York University in June. AGM is a conference focused on leadership development and the sharing of best practices and is an opportunity for the Vice President Externals (my position with a different name) from each school to convene and discuss the direction of ESSCO for the next year. We also elect the next group of ESSCO executive at AGM, so it is a busy weekend.
Conferences are a great way to develop your leadership skills and network with engineers from across the country. Make sure that you look out for application forms to attend conferences on our Facebook page and on the weekly mailer.
If you have any questions, want to learn more or just want to have a chat, please feel free to find me in CPH 1327 on Wednesdays from 2:30pm-4:30pm or Fridays from 11:30am-12:30pm. Alternatively, send me an email at email@example.com. Have a great term everybody and enjoy the sun!
