UK and Vietnam strengthen trade ties
In the eleventh meeting of the UK-Vietnam Joint Economic Trade Commission, the two nations have been committed to strengthening trade ties. Total trade between the UK and Vietnam was worth more than £6 billion in 2018 and the country is predicted to become one of the top 20 global economies by 2050.
Conor Burns, Trade Policy Minister, said: "Vietnam is one of the world's fastest growing markets and our trade talks are making big strides in making it easier for our two countries to do business."See more
New trade agreement between the UK and Tunisia
A trade agreement between the UK and Tunisia has been signed in London. With trade between the two nations worth £378 million in 2018, the agreement will ensure British businesses and consumers benefit from continued access to the market after leaving the European Union (EU).
Dr Andrew Murrison, UK Minister for the Middle East, said: "Tunisia represents opportunities for UK companies and this agreement gives exporters and customers the certainty they need to continue trading freely and in confidence as the UK prepares to leave the EU."Discover more
How the Thomann family brought Bavarian music to the globe
The Thomann Music brand started very small in 1954, with Hans Thomann Sr. leaving his small town of Treppendorf in Bavaria to play in travelling brass bands. By the 1960s he had a sideline selling instruments to musicians.
As the business spread from local to international, Thomann was able to build warehouses and call centres in the same location ensuring that he always stayed close to home! "I'm proud to say that even with more than 9 million customers, we're still an independent family-owned company," said Hans Thomann Jr.Find out more

May 13th 2015 Ashprington
It was a fine day for walking, mostly cool under a light overcast, but with periods of sunshine to to help us appreciate the stunning scenery of the Dart Valley.
Shirley and Ann led a good turnout of 16 walkers from Ashprington over the paths and meadows to Totnes, returning along parts of the newly constructed cycleways on the John Musgrave Trail.
Lunch was taken at the Durrant Arms.
Jenni and I first did this walk back in 2007 and I made a video from the photos I took. This time the views were so splendid that I took dozens of photographs which I have presented this time as a slideshow/video which you can see by clicking on the image below.
(For help on viewing videos please visit this page)
And just in the interests of nostalgia, take a look at my original video made for the walk in November 2007.
On that occasion the walk was led by Dave & Maureen.
"A beautiful sunny morning walk from Ashprington along the River Dart to Totnes (where Ernie had to be forceably restrained from entering the Chip Shop) before returning to Ashprington for lunch at the Durrant Arms"
November 27th – Loddiswell and the River Avon
On a somewhat cool autumn morning, Jenni & Tony led 21 walkers from the Avon Mill Garden Centre on a delightful walk alongside the River Avon returning via the track of the dismantled railway line. The dull and overcast skies did not prevent us from enjoying the bright autumnal colours.
Click here to see the photos taken on this walk
Loddiswell Station, on the now dismantled South Brent to Kingsbridge line, closed in 1963 after 70 years of operation. There is an excellent collection of photos together with a full history at this website
We last did this walk in 2008. You can watch the video of that walk below. Look out for Tim waving from the bridge and compare it with today's photo at the same spot.
Feb 20th 2013 Churston
The weather was cold, the skies were overcast and visibility was poor, so many of the fine views we expected to see on this walk went unphotographed.
We did manage a bit of train-waving, so for this walk I have made a short movie instead of showing the photos. (Turn your sound on to hear the music)
Arthur led 17 walkers from Galmpton onto Churston Common with its well known windmill landmark, then down to Broadsands under Brunel's railway viaduct.
Passing Elbury Cove we skirted the golf course and at Churston Court Arthur gave us an interesting commentary on the history of this ancient village.
Crossing the busy main road we went into the countryside above Lupton where normally we would have fine views toward Totnes.
After pausing to watch a passing steam train and some strange looking ducks we returned to the Manor Inn at Galmpton for lunch.
Roundup & Group Photos for 2012
Here's a video summarizing our walks in 2012.
Just a couple of photos for each walk, including those all important "Group Photos" !
My thanks to Maureen for taking photos for the walks I wasn't on. If any walks are missing it is because no one took any photos!

Highlight heaven5
I usually don't like liquid highlighters, but I ordered this one because I've heard so many good things about it. You receive a very generous amount of product, considering that you only need the tiniest amount to make your face light up :) Application is simple, it blends wonderfully and for any highlight obsessed person it can also be combined perfectly with a powder highlight. Completely worth it! <3Report this review
Wonder in a bottle!5
The High Beam and you're good to go! I've had this little bottled wonder for about 10 years now and in all this time I haven't even as much as looked for other highlighters. This is simply THE highlighter! I'm really not a makeup girl but this one I can't live without. I just use a tiny dot on each cheakbone and instantly blur it into my skin with my fingers. In the summertime I also use it to accentuate my collarbones, or if I want to spice up my look I just blend it into my bodylotion. You have to work with this product right away as it dries up super fast. I'd say buy!Report this review
Amazing but just not so longlasting .. when you just aply it looks very pigmentet but after 1h it starts going awayReport this review
Highlight subtlety5
Love this product. Subtle enough to be used for daytime for that workplace no-makeup-I'm-just-this-beautiful makeup look... Just our secret, right Ladies ;-)Report this review
A must have product!5
I've been using this highlighter for quite some time and it makes my makeup look very contoured and "kardashian" like. It will definitely brighten your face and give you that extra freshness and young look.Report this review
Nice effect4
Nice product - a little over rated I feel but makes my skin look brighter but a little shiny. Wouldn't recommend for oily skin. Will definitely purchase again (unless I find something the same but cheaper)Report this review
Nice product!5
It's the best highlighter I've ever used.Love it!Report this review
Benefit high beam5
Best price for this product by far once the discount was added.Report this review
I was a bit scared that it would be too shiny or something, but it is just right. Nice consistency and it is easy to add only a little bit or to add more if wanted. I woul recommend it to a friend and I would definitely say that it is worth the price. However I am a bit worried about the packaging, as you need really a little amount each time and I hope it doesn't get old fast, as I don't use it every single day.Report this review
High beam5
This product from Benifit is one of my faves it adds a wonderful glow to my face every time it's used . Highly recommendReport this review

PhenX RISING is comprised of seven groups of investigators funded by National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) to incorporate PhenX measures into existing population-based genomic studies. The PhenX RISING group held an in-person meeting on July 30, 2012 in the Washington DC area. During the all-day event, each of the seven groups provided updates on their progress including status of data collection, status of dbGaP submission, sample size and summary demographics characteristics, and preliminary results. The groups also provided extensive feedback on their experience implementing Toolkit measures. These recommendations, which will be summarized and presented to council in September, will be used to improve the PhenX Toolkit. The groups also provided updates on the progress of on-going internal and external cross-study collaborations. Although this meeting marked the unofficial end of the one year administrative supplements, several monthly teleconferences will be held through the fall.

Best Survival Candles TechnoBuffalo 2020
Long-burning candles are essential for camping trips and emergencies alike. If you're looking for a great option, the best out there is the UCO 12-hour candles, which burn for up to 15 hours and has a cotton wick. This will be your best friend for all of your favorite outdoor activities, along with a few of these other great options.
- Best Overall: UCO 12-Hour Candles
- Best Value: UCO 9-Hour White Candles
- Best Alternative: BOLSIUS 7-Hour Candles
- Best Long-Lasting: Ner Mitzvah 9-Day Candle
- Best Oil Candle: Candlelife 115-Hour Candle
- Best Bundle: UCO Long Burning Tealight Candles
Best Overall: UCO 12-Hour Candles
This particular candle is one of the best options out there, with a burn time of up to 15 hours and the beeswax mold. Beeswax makes for a nice, clean burn that doesn't leave residue or drip. This also better for the environment because it is a non-paraffin wax, which means it does not use fossil fuel oils.
The wick is made out of cotton as well, which is what helps maintain the long burn time. There have been complaints of the wick burning quicker than most and going into the wax. If you melt the wax away from the wick, you should be able to re-light it and keep using it.
With the make of the candle, this is one of the ways that UCO can create this long-lasting candle. The beeswax and the cotton wick help extend the burn time of the candle, and it's much better for the environment if you're using it outdoors. This will be great for not only your camping and hiking trips but also in the case that you're caught in an emergency.
- Beeswax
- Up to 15 hours burn time
- Cotton wick
- Short wick
Best Overall
UCO 12-Hour Candles
Half a day's worth
With a long-lasting burn and a beeswax aroma, this will make the UCO candle the best choice for any situation.
Best Value: UCO 9-Hour White Candles
If you're looking to save some money on a candle, UCO makes a great and cheap candle that still has a long burn time. This candle will burn for up to nine hours, and it has the same cotton wick to help with the flame. The shape of the candle helps keep the wick above the wax so that it won't go out on you for any non-weather-related reason.
This wax has a high-melt temperature so that it should minimizing dripping and any residue this candle might have. However, this doesn't mean that it will absolutely not drip, so be sure to put it on something you aren't in love with. The wax can ruin tables and counters, so it's best to put it on a paper plate or some sort of disposable item.
This cheap candle alternative is perfect for any camping trip or emergency if you're looking to save some money on your survival kit. With a nine-hour burn time and a cotton wick, you'll be sure to love what this product has to offer. Make sure you bring something along in case this does drip, so you don't ruin any precious valuables.
- 9 hour burn time
- High-melt temperature
- Cotton wick
- Can drip
Best Value
UCO 9-Hour White Candles
On a budget
If you don't want to spend a bunch of money on emergency candles, UCO makes an excellent option for a smaller price point.
Best Alternative: BOLSIUS 7-Hour Candles
The BOLSIUS candle is a great option, as long as you already have something to put it into. The generic candle shape will make a holder easy to find, and it's designed not to drip. With the dripless wax, you won't have to worry about any clean up once you're done with the product.
This candle is said to have a clean burn, so you won't have to worry about smoke filling your house. However, this does only burn for about seven hours, so it doesn't last as long as the other options. This may be nice if you only need it for before bed or short duration.
This cleaning burning candle is an excellent option if you only need it for a small period. It's also a generic shape, so finding a holder for these candles will be simple and easy. You won't have to worry about clean up either, which makes this a great option for short camping trips or pure light during an emergency.
- Generic shape
- Non-drip
- Clean burn
- Shorter burn time
- Need holder
Best Alternative
BOLSIUS 7-Hour Candles
A traditional feel
The BOLSIUS candles may have the shortest span for burning, but they are a more traditional look and come in a big pack.
Best Long-Lasting: Ner Mitzvah 9-Day Candle
Although this candle isn't necessarily meant for survival kits, it truly is an excellent option for one. This candle lasts for nine days, and it comes in a plastic holder, so it is a free-standing candle. People have used it for emergencies, and it would be great for outdoor light. This candle is also clean-burning, so it doesn't add smoke to your home or tent.
Although it does come in a holder, it may drip a bit out of the container, so make sure to keep it in a safe area. It's a great option for anyone who might be in a power outage or storm situation for a few days. If you're planning a long outdoor trip, it would be a great source of light for you and your friends.
Even if this candle serves other purposes, it would be a great addition to your survival kit. With a clean burn that can last up to nine days, it would be a good idea to get this, just in case. Also, it can stand on its own, so you can set it up anywhere, as long as you aren't worried about possibly getting wax on that place.
- Last for nine days
- Free-standing
- Clean burn
- Can drip out of the container
Best Long-Lasting
Ner Mitzvah 9-Day Candle
Burn for days
Although this is not a traditional survival candle, it is the most extended burning option out there as far as candles go.
Best Oil Candle: Candlelife 115-Hour Candle
Oil candles are another good choice when it comes to long-burning survival candles. It's an oil-based paraffin candle, which allows it to burn for 115 hours or about five days. This also allows it to be smoke and odor-free, so it's perfect for any power outages or emergencies you might have at your home. This makes it great for outdoor trips as well, so make sure to pack it in your gear.
The downside to oil-based candles is that it can leak when overturned, so be sure to pack it well if you're taking it with you. The company does have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, so if you're not happy with the product, you'll get a replacement or your money back. It's great to see that this company truly is here for you, and it does care about you in these situations.
If you're looking to pack up a good, oil-based candle for any outdoor activities or weather emergencies, this is the perfect option to add to your kit. It doesn't smoke or smell bad when it burns, and it will stay burned for up to 115 hours. Not to mention, the company will give you your money back if you're not happy.
- Smoke and odor-free
- 30-day satisfaction guarantee
- Oil-based
- May leak if overturned
Best Oil Candle
Candlelife 115-Hour Candle
Oil it all up
Oil candles are great when it comes to smoke and odor since they don't create either of those. Plus, they burn a bit longer.
Best Bundle: UCO Long Burning Tealight Candles
These UCO tealights are a perfect option if you need a lot of candles for your home. Not only is it a long-lasting candle, but it also repels mosquitoes, black flies, fleas, and ticks. This could be especially useful if you want these items for camping trips or outdoor activities.
These lights have a specialized wick, which helps keep the flame high enough, so it doesn't go out in the wax. However, because these candles are so small, they only burn for three to four hours. Since there are so many in one package, it comes with 30; it'll be easy to use multiple of them in one instance.
The UCO long burning tealights are great for outdoor activities or to cover multiple rooms in your home. They also repel different insects, which is great if you're using them outside. Although they only burn for a few hours, there's enough of them in the pack that you won't have to worry about running out.
- Large quantity
- Repels insects
- Specialized wick
- Incredibly short burn time
Best Bundle
UCO Long Burning Tealight Candles
Plenty to go around
This pack of candles has the most to offer, with 30 candles available, which makes the short burn time even out.
Bottom line

Vending Machine Retrofits From TouchGo
There has been three years of falling U.S. vending machine sales, including a three percent drop in 2010, according to the 'State of the Vending Industry Report' published by Automatic Merchandiser.
In an effort to buck this trend and help to accelerate vending sales, TouchGo Technology we are told supports several new vending machine innovations that increase customer engagement and the number of available customers.
One example which we saw at Mastercard's head office in Brussels (Visa also have one at their HQ in London) allows vending operators to serve more customers with contactless payment technologies, such as Visa payWave and MasterCard PayPass cards.
Both of these allow customers to 'Tap & Go', i.e. there is no pin number entry required.
TouchGo Technology, based on the University of Reading campus in the UK tell us that they can roll out a retrofit solution to any vending machine and that they are starting rollouts in January 2012 with two well known major brands.

Back in the summer of this year there were some exciting and also tragic occurrences taking place in the depths of the Santa Monica Bay and its neighboring waters. Blue whales, the largest living mammal and an endangered species, in greater numbers than anyone could remember seeing, were being spotted all over the place.
While usually sighted mostly in the Channel Islands area, they were popping up in the Santa Monica Bay and quite a bit in Long Beach waters as well. Whale watching boats cashed in, scientists compiled more data and many recreational boaters had stories to tell of the never-ending "conveyor belt" of blubber they saw while cruising on a day trip.
But in September, the excitement and exuberance of witnessing such a special creature — the largest animal that has ever inhabited the planet — turned sour when three young blues, not yet fully grown, turned up dead in Southern California waters in three separate instances.
Beyond the dispiriting fact that there are speculated to be under 10,000 of these animals left in the world and losing three young whales is obviously bad news, the other concerning factor was how close together the deaths were.
In two weeks there were three strandings, two in Ventura and one in Long Beach. Prior to that there had only been six official reports of strandings since 1980.
The cause of death in all three situations was related to collisions with large cargo ships, according to scientists at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, where a necropsy was performed.
"It's our conclusion, based on all the evidence from the necropsy and any other results, that they died from strictly a ship strike," said Michelle Berman, assistant curator in the Department of Vertebrate Zoology at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. "There was no other illness or injury or any foul play."
Now, months down the road, the tragedy of the whale's deaths yields questions — answered and unanswered.
There's no denying that any death of an intelligent mammal, particularly an endangered one, is heartbreaking, but it does provide invaluable possibilities for scientists to gather hard facts regarding this compelling species. At the same time, conservationists are faced with studying, in this case, the balance between the shipping industries with the protection of a species.
And through it all many wonder why the whales don't seem to have the wherewithal to break clear of an enormous oncoming ship. With the well-known sophisticated sonic capabilities of whales, it seems odd that these creatures would be caught by a machine that gives off seemingly clear audio warnings.
"These large ships are designed differently than most regular boats," said Berman. "The tankers are designed with a bulbous bow and that actually reduces the bow wake and also reduces noise in the front of the ship. The props and engine are in the back — nearly a quarter-mile away from the front of the ship and the blue whale has one of the lowest ranges of hearing in any of the marine mammals."
With such a significant death toll in such a short period, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) deemed the situation an emergency and all involved agencies were working overtime to evaluate what was happening. There was talk of speed limits in the shipping lanes and even the idea of redefining shipping lane locations.
But now with time and analysis on their side, the consensus opinion is that this past summer the blue whale food source, krill, was simply in the shipping lanes more than it ever had been before. According to Berman, there were no more whales than normal in the Santa Monica Bay and elsewhere — they were just in areas, due to krill locations, where they're not usually found.
After the accidents, shipping companies were made aware of the high concentration of blues in the lanes and asked to impose a voluntary speed limit of ten knots through designated areas. There was all-around compliance and from then on there were no more collisions.
"At ten knots, it doesn't seem to cause injury if they get hit," said Berman. "Anywhere between 14 and 19 knots will cause injury and above 19 knots can cause death."
From here, the museum scientists will continue to study the samples they've gathered from the deceased whale in Ventura and in a few years will issue a definitive report on what was learned.
Berman stated that what was garnered from the whale carcass was some of the freshest and most usable samples they have seen.
For next season, it's hoped that the krill won't live in the shipping lanes like they did this past summer, but if so, the ten- knot speed limit for large ships should protect the whales from any similar fate.

All You Need to Know About Hepatitis Prevention
Hepatitis is a condition that affects the liver and causes inflammation. It may be one of many types – mainly A, B, C, D, and E – and can be acute or chronic. Hepatitis viruses are predominantly spread through contaminated water & food and infected fluids. The major modes of transmission are, consumption of contaminated food, coming in close contact with an infected person or having sexual relations with an infected person. Some viruses can also be transmitted from a mother to the baby during childbirth.
Here are some ways to prevent hepatitis infection:
- Following hygienic practices
Hepatitis A and E are passed on through faecal matter and by consuming contaminated food and water. Types B, C, and D are spread through infected fluids. This may be through sexual contact, sharing of needles, etc. Knowing how the disease spreads and avoiding placing yourself at a risk is one way to prevent the disease. Always use sterilised equipment, watch what you eat and stay away from places without proper sanitation.
- Vaccination
Taking the strictest care may sometimes not work, because it is difficult to identify infected people when there are no symptoms. There are vaccines available for hepatitis A and B, but not for C, D, and E. However, since hepatitis D virus can attack only if the hepatitis B virus is already present, getting immunisation against HBV (before it attacks) will protect you from HDV too.
- Practice safe sex
Always practice safe sex and avoid unprotected sexual contact or sexual intercourse with multiple partners.
- Avoid alcohol and drugs
Excessive alcohol consumption and certain medications can be toxic to the liver, leading to inflammation. Stay away from such toxic substances.
- Take precautions during travel
Some types of hepatitis are highly prevalent in areas without proper sanitation, such as parts of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Mexico, etc. Check for travel advisories and get a vaccine before going to these areas and make sure you consume uncontaminated food and clean water.
Basic steps such as these can stand you in good stead. Just that extra bit of care – keeping yourself clean, washing your hands before and after eating, avoiding street food, etc. – can keep the hepatitis virus away. Get vaccinated as early as possible, just to be sure. To get quick and accurate testing for Hepatitis, in a hygienic facility, contact Apollo Diagnostics to book an appointment.

It was a story that captivated the world. Twelve boys and their soccer coach trapped in a flooded cave so far underground that rescue was deemed impossible.
When the news broke, I was one of the millions following the story. I was at home when I received the call from Foreign Affairs in Canberra. Within two hours, I was waiting for a flight to Thailand, preparing to play my part in an unlikely rescue.
I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on the boys after my two hour dive deep into Chamber 9, where they had spent nearly two weeks. I recall being amazed by how high their spirits were, how positive they were, despite what they were enduring.
Now that the rescue is over and those boys are safe and well, I am using my time as Australian of the Year to encourage people to see we share a duty to enable the next generation of Australians. I strongly believe that our own success, and the success of our nation, depends upon how well we collectively do this.
It's why I decided to become a national ambassador for children's education charity, The Smith Family. This has afforded me the privilege of meeting even more young people overcoming personal hardship.
These are children living in families experiencing the long term effects of poverty, a state we are quick to dismiss in this country as simply not plausible. But the fact of it is 1.1 million children and young people are living below the poverty line in Australia today.
We cannot afford to ignore the negative effects that poverty is having on these children's educational outcomes. These children are behind when they start school and they stay behind.
But we can change this story. All it takes is a shift in mindset that sees the success of an advantaged child replicated in the success of one whose family circumstances might dictate otherwise.
Recently I met one such young man at a Smith Family graduation celebration.
Nathan's father had left the family when he was young and his mother was sole carer and breadwinner. Money was extremely tight and she was struggling to keep the household afloat. Nathan remembered feeling this financial strain; he was worried and unhappy at school.
But, at just the right time, Nathan got some extra help that proved a turning point.
He was connected with a volunteer mentor who helped guide him through his final years of high school and focus his aspirations. The mentor realised Nathan's appetite for challenge and suggested he pursue philosophy, a decision Nathan says was integral to his personal growth.
Nathan explained to me that he drew inspiration from knowing that there were others in the community willing to support his studies. He was attached to a sponsor who inspired him to pursue his potential. Nathan wanted to prove to them that their support was worthwhile.
And prove it he did, winning his school's Dux award every year from Years 9 to 12, and attaining an ATAR score of over 95.
In society today, many consider the onus to be on the individual to develop resilience and create their own opportunities. But it is a mistake to rely on young people to do this alone, and those of us who have met with success are being self-deceptive if we maintain we did it without help.
We are all of us so much better when we can draw on our collective strength and help each other. And like Nathan, we can all achieve so much more when we do.
Giving young people a hand up is everybody's business. When you get the call to help, no matter what form it may take, stand up and make it count.
Dr Craig Challen is the joint 2019 Australian of the Year and The Smith Family's national ambassador. Last July, he made worldwide headlines when he joined an international rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand.

In a new video posted to WWE Diva Champion Nikki Bella's YouTube channel, the brunette and 16-times WWE champion boyfriend John Cena take viewers on an exciting tour of their home.
Nikki says to the camera: "Today we're going to show you what we call our 'casual' living room."
John quips: "It's where we live."
The wrestling partners then show what is on offer – and it's a lot.
A large, luxurious sofa lines one of the walls, floor-to-ceiling windows offer a fantastic view of their beautiful garden and an array of different armchairs pepper the floor.
A gigantic TV screen dominates one of the walls while all other available wall space is covered in John's favourite art photography.
One such piece of work is a super-size mural of album covers including releases by Dr. Dre, Nas, Rod Stewart, The Beatles and Van Halen.
Another mural features cartridges from Nintendo's old NES system including Super Mario 3 and Zelda.
John tells the camera: "Everyone always asks about this.
"Art doesn't have to be expensive. It can be cheap. And it really is a conversation starter."
The super-rich pair then invite viewers to look at their "jam out area" which boasts a board room table, Star Wars poster, piano and guitar, before they play a few notes to fans.
At the end of the video, John and Nikki tease an upcoming clip that will give viewers a peek inside their gigantic, indoor swimming pool complete with a rockery, exotic plants and water slide.
The house – in Tampa, Florida – has featured heavily in Nikki's TV show Total Bellas which she stars in with sister and former tag team partner Brie.
Other mansion features include an exclusively for men cigar room, a gigantic walk-in closet and a guest house.
John Cena is worth approximately $35 million (£28m) while Nikki is worth an estimated $1.5 million (£1.2m).
Nikki hit headlines last week when she shared a new fitness video aimed to teach viewers how to get the perfect bum.
And rumour has it that the loved-up duo plan to fight alongside each other at WrestleMania 33 in April.

The pairing of navy and black is one of my most favourite combinations. Throwing in a hint of white or grey is great also as it breaks it up a little. I am always so enthralled with the designs of Japanese designers. For example, the jacket is a jacket and cardigan hybrid; its unique structure is so incredible. And the Watanabe playsuit whose neckline is essentially the top of a pair of dress pants!

From Bloomberg, "Losing Revenue From Hybrids Prompts States to Hit Owners" by Alison Vekshin:
Hybrid and electric cars are sparing the environment. Critics say they're hurting the roads.
The popularity of these fuel-efficient vehicles is being blamed for a drop in gasoline taxes that pay for local highway and bridge maintenance, with three states enacting rules to make up the losses with added fees on the cars and at least five others weighing similar legislation.
***"The intent is that people who use the roads pay for them," said Arizona state Senator Steve Farley, a Democrat from Tucson who wrote a bill to tax electric cars. "Just because we have somebody who is getting out of doing it because they have an alternative form of fuel, that doesn't mean they shouldn't pay for the roads." ***Fuel taxes provide close to 40 percent of state revenue for highways, according to a 2012 report by the Denver-based National Conference of State Legislatures.
"Yet these revenues have not kept pace with needs...."

Now I know TrickyNekro is working on a similar board, but he is using a big mega32 and I'm using a tiny2313. The more, the merrier. The software should be compatible up to the point of setting the proper registers, so I guess it should not be too complicated to port the code from one micro to the other.

- National Platform EU Research & Information Centre – Two Steps to a Fiscal Union for the Eurozone… & A Third Step to Distract Attention from the First Two
- The 27-Member European Council "Decision" to make the Art.136 TFEU Amendment to the EU Treaties;
- The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) between the 17 Eurozone States;
- A Third Step that has distracted attention in Ireland from the First Two…
The "Fiscal Compact Treaty" (Treaty on Stability, Coordination & Governance in the Economic & Monetary Union)
- National Platform EU Research & Information Centre – "We Are Treated Like Mushrooms – Kept in the Dark and Fed Shit!": Did you know…?
- Ireland could hold the Eurozone at our mercy regarding our national debt, the Anglo-Irish promissory notes and the terms of the Troika's Memorandum of Understanding? This can be done by requiring a referendum instead of Oireachtas approval of the "Decision" of the EU 27 to amend Art.136 of the EU Treaties [this is not the referendum on the Fiscal Compact Treaty] so as to authorize the establishment of a permanent €500 billion fund for the Eurozone, the "European Stability Mechanism Fund", to which Ireland must contribute €11 billion?
- … approval of this "Decision" [Art.136] is the only thing on which Ireland has the power of veto?
- the Government has invited submissions from the public on this Fiscal Compact Treaty… This will distract attention from the Government's failure to insist that the amendment it has agreed to make to Art.136 of the EU treaties requires a referendum in Ireland because it makes a radical change to the scope, objectives and character of the Economic and Monetary Union which the Irish people agreed to sign up to under the Maastricht and Lisbon Treaties?
- … a motion to approve the "Decision" of the European Council to amend Art.136 of the EU Treaties
+ A motion to approve ratification of the European Stability Mechanism Treaty
+ A European Communities Amendment Bill to bring the provisions of the latter into Irish domestic law,
will all be put before the Oireachtas probably on Tuesday or Wednesday week?
- … by holding a referendum in Ireland on the Art.136 amendment to the EU treaties – without which the €500 billion ESM fund cannot be established – we could not only insist on our sovereign debt situation being transformed, but that a better solution to the whole Eurozone economic crisis could be adopted?
- Peoples' Movement – The EU Permanent Austerity Treaty (Fiscal Compact Treaty): The Government seems determined to push ahead in the next few months with the ratification of two important treaties: the "Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union" [AKA Fiscal Compact Treaty] and the revised "Treaty on the European Stability Mechanism" (ESM).The two treaties would make member-states of the euro zone into regimes of economic austerity, involving deeper and deeper cuts in public expenditure, increases in indirect taxes, reductions in wages, a sustained liberalisation of markets, and the privatisation of public property.It would really be more accurate to call the first treaty the EU Permanent Austerity Treaty and the second the Conditional Support Treaty. Whatever they are called, the two treaties represent a seriously dangerous threat, and democrats should be mobilising to resist them.The cumulative effect of being bound by both treaties would be an obligation to insert a balanced-budget rule"through provisions of binding force and permanent character, preferably constitutional or otherwise guaranteed to be fully respected and adhered to throughout the national budgetary processes."It would put Irish budgets under permanent and detailed supervision by the euro zone; make the existing subordination of Ireland's interests to those of the "stability of the euro area as a whole" even more systematic and pronounced; impose conditions of "strict conditionality," without limit, for ESM "solidarity" financial bail-outs; and require Ireland to contribute some €11 billion to the ESM fund when it is established later this year.
- Peoples' Movement – Commentary on the EU Permanent Austerity Treaty (Fiscal Compact Treaty): the EU Permanent Austerity Treaty will make a permanent feature of that external interference in our economic governance that was so obnoxious when Fianna Fáil surrendered sovereignty to the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. But if it's bad in the short term—and it is—it's even worse when it's made permanent.The fact that the British and Czech governments are not going to ratify the treaty is clear evidence that an EU member-state can stay outside it and still remain within the European Union…
- Brian O'Reilly – 10 things you need to know about the Eurozone Austerity Treaty: On January 31st the Government signed up to a Eurozone austerity treaty. On Thursday 28th the Government announced its intention to hold a referendum on the Treaty.Here are 10 things you need to know about the new agreement.
- The reason we have this Treaty is because "core" EU member states, like Germany and France, want to impose stricter fiscal discipline on "peripheral" EU economies like Ireland, Portugal and Greece. The aim of the treaty is to strengthen the enforcement of existing rules and impose some new rules on government deficits, debt and budgetary policy.
- The Eurozone austerity treaty is not a European Union treaty. The British government refused to allow the treaty to become EU law. It now takes the form of a separate non-EU inter-governmental treaty. This means that it sits outside the scope of EU law though controversially it alters the way in which EU policy and institutions operate.
- Article 3 of the treaty is the most important. It states that governments budgets must be balanced or in surplus. The article makes significant changes to the existing EU treaty rules on fiscal policy known as the Stability and Growth Pact. Some of these changes were included in an EU legislative proposal agreed in November 2011 known as the "six-pack". However by placing them in an inter-governmental treaty they are more binding and permanent. This means that if ratified future governments will have to implement pro-austerity anti-stimulus budgets in perpetuity. This significantly limits the freedom of decision making of governments in the future irrespective of the mandate they receive from the electorate.
- The key provisions of Article 3 include a new structural deficit target of 0.5%; a restatement of the existing Stability and Growth Pact deficit target of 3% and debt target of 60% of GDP; a requirement for states who breach these targets to return to them rapidly; and an option for breaching these targets in "exceptional circumstances". Put in plain English this means that the ability of future government to borrow or run deficits at times of recession will be severely limited if not removed outright. It also means that the current Government will have to implement austerity budgets beyond 2015.
- Article 4 restates the existing Stability and Growth Pact requirement for states that breach the 60% debt ceiling to reduce the excess portion of that debt by 5% annually.
- The preamble to the treaty reminds us of the existing mechanism for enforcing the Stability and Growth Pact targets, known as the "excessive deficit procedure". Article 5 of the treaty goes further and introduces new measures aimed at compelling member states in breach of the targets to take action deemed necessary by the Commission and Council. There is a new obligation to enter a "budgetary and economic partnership programme" involving detailed structural reforms aimed at reducing debt and deficit levels. This is essentially a Eurozone version of the Troika austerity programmes that member states will be legally obliged to accept when they breach the debt and deficit targets.
- Articles 7 and 8 make three more changes. The first is that the excessive deficit procedure becomes automatic requiring a majority of the European Council to block it. The second is that member states can now take each other to the European Court of Justice if they believe that the debt and deficit rules are not being respected. The third is that the European Court of Justice can fine an errant member state for not complying with the rules, a fine being up to but not exceeding 0.1% of a member states GDP, which in Ireland's case would be approximately €155million based on 2011 GDP figures.
- Article 12 creates a new parallel governance structure for the Eurozone, based on the existing Eurozone summit meetings, but outside the framework of the existing Euro governance framework. This will apply to all Eurozone countries irrespective of whether they ratify the treaty or not.
- Article 16 states that the content of the austerity treaty will be incorporated into EU treaty law within five years of coming in to force.
- Finally the preamble of the treaty makes ratification a condition for accessing future EU bailout funds from the European Stability Mechanism. The treaty governing the ESM funds has also been amended. This means that if we say no to this treaty we could be excluded from applying for ESM funds in the future however it is unlikely that the European Council will enforce this rule as it would have serious implications for the member state concerned and the Eurozone as a whole.
- There are two key arguments against this treaty. The first is that it will impose greater levels of austerity on citizens for an indefinite period of time. One economist has estimated that it will require, at a minimum, a further €6bn of cuts and tax hikes post 2015. The second is that it significantly undermines the choices available to future governments to manage the state's economic affairs and in doing so undermines our sovereignty.

I actually know Paleophil in real life, we happen to live in neighboring towns here in Vermont. Your characterization of him is not remotely accurate. Why do you feel the need to tear people down like that, when you have never met them and live thousands of miles away?

I Love The Dutch
Todday when I opened my blog everything was in Dutch! I do not have anything against Dutch as such but I have to admit that my languagr skills do not cope with that particular language. So I had to change it. Not into Finnish, which is now available (Jeee!) but back to English. Being a Finn I do not have anything against Finnish either but the Finnish terms looked quite funny.

Due to the nature of the business, testing and calibration laboratories have to maintain strict quality control with proper documentation and a qualified, professional staff. From sampling identification, labeling, testing, analysis and documenting test results, testing and calibration labs have to work within strict guidelines. ISO 17025 certification gives testing and calibration laboratories the same type of accreditation that ISO 9001 gives to manufacturing and service organizations. As a globally recognized quality standard, ISO 17025 certification can attract more business and expand a company's client base and profitability.
ISO 17025 has two main clauses—Management Requirements and Technical Requirements. The management requirements are the same as in ISO 9001:2000. Therefore, a calibration and testing laboratory that is certified in ISO 17025, will also operate in compliance with ISO 9001:2000. Management requirements focus on the effectiveness of the quality management system.
The technical requirements pertain to the lab operations, reporting of tests and calibrations, equipment, testing and staff competency. Like other ISO quality standards, ISO 17025 requires extensive documentation and the creation of a detailed quality system and quality manual. This extensive documentation system, if it does not already exist, requires the time and effort of management and calibration and laboratory personnel. Before beginning the ISO 17025 certification process, a company should weigh the benefits against the time and costs involved.
ISO 17025 has five clauses:
- Scope. This clause covers the technical operations of the laboratory and the quality management system that ensures that the laboratory is operated in a quality manner.
- Normative References.
- Terms and Definitions
- Management Requirements. This section covers documentation, document control, corrective action and internal audit. The most of the sections follow the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.
- Technical Requirements. Most of these come from the ISO Guide 25, and include personnel, selection of methods, validation of methods, estimation of uncertainty of methods and measurement traceability.
The ISO 17025 Certification Process
As with other ISO certifications, companies can decide to complete the steps in-house or hire a consultant to manage the certification process. A thorough understanding of the ISO 17025 standard is the first step. The company should then conduct a gap analysis to determine the laboratory's current stage of compliance with the ISO 17025 Standard requirements. While most laboratories have to meet stringent technical requirements, they may be lacking in the management quality system components such as documentation and document control.
The results of the gap analysis are the basis for the quality plan and implementation strategy. Once the standard requirements are satisfied, an internal audit will determine if there are still gaps in the quality system. Once these are satisfied, it is time to contact an ISO 17025 registrar who will conduct and independent certification audit.
Benefits of ISO 17025 Certification
There are several benefits to completing the process for ISO 17025 certification:
- Recognition in the testing and calibration laboratory industry as an ISO 17025 certified facility.
- A competitive edge over competitors who are not certified in a globally-accepted quality system.
- Clearly document processes and procedures within a quality management system.
- A system to continuously improve both the management and technical aspects of the business
- Improved customer service and higher customer satisfaction with laboratory testing and calibration services.
- An internal audit process to identify non-conformance to standards and a process for corrective action and updating the quality system to the new quality standards.

THE above phrase is often used in terms of humour – it refers to someone telling you a tall story that they are asking you to believe and you reply that instead of 'pulling my leg', why not 'pull the other one'.
It also gives recognition to the fact that we have two legs, like we have two hands and also two feet.
Other than doing the obvious of using both our hands and walking with both our feet, have we ever used these limbs to help us in other aspects of our lives.
Ok, where I am coming from here is the whole area of automation and preconditioning in our lives.
Most people have a dominant hand. Statistics will indicate that 90% of people are in fact right-handed.
Have you ever tried using your less dominant hand for doing tasks – if you are right-handed then try buttering your bread with your left hand or vice versa.
The question now is – can this bring benefit to our lives and if so what is the benefit?
I believe it can, so let me explain further.
You see we automatically use our dominant hand so when we use our non-dominant hand we feel a certain type of awkwardness.
This 'awkwardness' feeling can in itself can be very useful in the way that it opens up the whole area of 'self-consciousness' within us.
We feel awkward so we feel much more awareness of the task we are doing right now i.e. buttering the bread.
This awareness of what we are doing in the 'present moment' can and will bring huge benefits to our lives if we practice it on a regular basis.
It's not just me that is saying this but it's the advice given to us by Jesus ( I Am (is) The Way), The Buddha and more modern gurus like Jon Kabat-Zinn and Eckhart Tolle (the Power of Now).
Important note; they are all basically saying the same thing – Become Aware and Practice Awareness.
In fact the whole phenomenon of practicing mindfulness and meditation that has taken over the world, is based on awareness of the present moment right here right now.
We have ready access to our limbs so we have ready access to 'The Present Moment' by using out non dominant limbs on a regular basis.
It stops us from using our bodies in the automated way.
This in turn makes us aware that we can switch from the automated way to the manual way by simply using our left hand instead of our right hand.
Anything that delivers awareness within can only be a good thing and is a great place to start.
Next week I am going to write about — 'Delivering Results'

Whether you have a hot date, planning a night out with your girlfriends, or spending the night in, Valentine's Day is a stylish and fashionable holiday to celebrate. Here are some top looks for the month of February to channel your inner flirtatious and playful persona!
1. Knit Your Love, inspo: @chicwish
Warm, chic, and flirty all in one. This playful cardigan in red can be dressed up or down creating a fun and flirty look. It's the perfect way to cozy up with your loved one and maintain sophistication while out on your date. The rich and warm wine color will have necks turning and compliments flashing at you from every angle! Pair this with matching strap heels, ripped jeans for flavor, and a fedora hat for class.
2. On the Prowl
Leopard, cheetah, zebra… All print styles are back in! Large areas or pieces of print mixed with bold patches of color and warm undertones has taken over this season of fashion. Prints add a youthful facade to the look that engages in a flirty, fun, and playful attitude. Top off your look in a leopard cardigan, zebra throw over, or cheetah sweater on your night out this Love Day!
3. Long and Flowy
Jumpsuits are easy – they might look difficult to work with, but that's because they're different. They're casual, classy, and simplistic, which could also be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. It's easier than a tight dress, and classier than pants, yet it's merged into the two making it a super comfortable piece. Picking between a black, cranberry, or pink silhouette should be easy on Valentine's Day. The look for the evening can be paired with strap heels, flats, or pumps, along with your favorite signature bag. To keep warm, throw over your favorite blazer or wrap shawl.
4. Cozy and Sporty
Cozy and sporty, more like cute and preppy! Sporty is another way to make an outfit more comfortable to your liking. You may be thinking, "Isn't that tom-boyish for Valentine's Day?" No, not in the slightest. Cozy and sporty works for all body types, and in hues of baby pinks, it can easily become a flirtatious look for your night out. Whether you spend the night in with friends, or out on your date, you will feel super comfortable and it will show! Drop the dressy attire… spunk it up in what makes YOU cozy. Take your favorite jogger pants or leggings and match them with a turtleneck top. Pair the outfit with sleek white sneakers and a comfortable black bomber jacket!
5. Wrapped Up in Crushed Velvet
This look can easily go from casual to sexy, depending on which direction you want to go with this. Crushed velvet is code for extra seductive and elegant. If you really want to make a statement tonight, go this route. Crushed velvet adds different hues and elements of color whenever the light catches it. Where the light hits adds luminosity, while the shadowy hues where the light doesn't touch the fit adds depth. Wrap tops or dresses adds a "peek-a-boo" detailing on the bust, which is perfect for a sensual feel. Pair the tops with sleek black jeans and pair the dress with studded strap heels.

Bio-inspired Navigation Algorithm for GPS Denial Modes

The wide use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation has been persistent for a long time. However, in today's scenario when technologies are advancing the accuracy of positioning systems, there are various new threats and challenges emerging. The signal receivers for positioning systems are prone to spoofing. This external interference in the system is usually done by feeding false signal to the receiver. Though the dead reckoning method is still in use, any interference with GPS can still lead to disaster. Insects and birds are known to use solar position for guidance and it is widely accepted by researchers that some birds, such as pigeons, use solar position in their homing flight. There are similar studies performed on honeybees and monarch butterflies. The use of solar position by these insects and birds brings up the question of whether a mathematical model can be used to replicate the results for real-life navigation and can a bio-inspired navigation algorithm like this be implemented. Solar position algorithms are already in wide use. The solar position algorithms available calculate the azimuth and zenith/incidence angles for the solar position at any given point of time when the position of the observer is known. The objective for navigation is to find an observer's position from solar position to present an alternative to GPS for navigational use. This document proposes the method for calculating the observer's position when the azimuth and zenith/incidence angles for the solar position, attitude of aircraft and the accurate time are known. The approach proposed is that the position of the observer is to be calculated by adopting the concept of reversing the ENEA algorithm where instead of calculating the solar position using an observer's position, one will be calculating the position of the observer from the solar position and time.

After dropping four games in a row the Panthers needed a shake-up, which came in the form of two position coaches being fired and Ron Rivera taking over defensive playing calling duties from first-year coordinator Eric Washington. The question now is what does all this mean for a Carolina team that's trying to make a late season playoff push?
According to veterans Captain Munnerlyn, Wes Horton and Eric Reid don't expect drastic changes to the defensive game plan.
This only reinforces what players have been saying the whole time. The issue isn't coaching related, it's their lack of game plan execution. Either way, I don't think the change will make things any worse than they already are. And who knows, subtle nuances may ignite a late season run.
