- (2013)
Fly to Delhi
Evening flight to Delhi, arriving mid-morning the following day.
After your flight, you'll transfer to your hotel in New Delhi. The present metropolis of Delhi is at least the eighth city to have been founded on this site; its predecessors have been largely razed to the ground. This afternoon you'll be introduced to India with a guided tour. The network of narrow streets and alleys of Old Delhi serve as a symbolic heart of this magnificent city. You'll visit the city's largest mosque, Jami Masjid (Friday mosque). Not only is it a place of religious worship, but also a lively meeting place for the city's Muslims and a fascinating insight into the way of life in the city. You'll travel by local transport, the rickshaw (own expense), to ply your way through the crowds and down to the impressive Red Fort.
Comfort Inn President Hotel – Ideally located in the heart of the city, The President hotel is minutes from Old Delhi and only 30 miles away from the airport. The surrounding area is steeped in culture and filled with things to explore including temples and historical monuments. Various entertainment venues and charming street markets are also within easy reach. There is a currency exchange service available here and all rooms are equipped with air conditioning. (1 night)
Delhi & Udaipur
This morning, you'll start the day with a tour of New Delhi, where the wide boulevards and imposing buildings conjure up images of the British Empire at its zenith. The Lutyen's designed Rashtrapati (formerly the Viceregal's Lodge) is particularly impressive, whilst India Gate is one of the city's most iconic memorials. You'll also visit Raj Ghat, the site of Mahatma Ghandi's cremation, now marked by a black marble plinth and memorial gardens. You'll leave for an early afternoon flight south to Udaipur. Udaipur is sometimes called the 'Venice of the East', with its beautiful lakes and grandiose palaces that line the shore, an oasis in the otherwise stark and arid state of Rajasthan. It's a short transfer from the city's small airport to your ideally located hotel.
Lake Pichola Hotel - Located on the western banks of Lake Pichola, this hotel is surrounded by fantastic sights and sounds. Currency exchange services are available here and there is a travel desk for more information on the area. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and en suite. (2 nights - B)
Exploring Udaipur
You have two whole days to explore Udaipiur and the surrounding countryside. Each morning you'll take guided tours of the town's main sights, leaving the afternoons free to explore further afield or simply relax by the tranquil lakeside. Founded in 1568, the City Palace dominates the lake and the old town. You'll visit the City Palace, now a museum, where the views over the lake and the Jag Niwas 'floating palace' are spectacular. In the centre of the old town the ornately carved Jagdish Mandir is a classic example of a Hindu Temple, with some particularly impressive carved figures decorating its walls.
Udaipur is famed for its tie-and-dye fabrics and the fine miniature paintings of the Mewar School. Its bazaars and shops are fascinating to wander around and it's not unusual to come face to face with an elephant as you explore the narrow lanes and streets. During one of your afternoons here you might chose to take a short cruise on Lake Pichola, stopping off to visit the temple on Jag Mandir Island. Alternatively you can hire a bicycle, or take a taxi out of town to visit the complex of 108 temples at Eklingi, the oldest of which is dedicated to Shiva and dates from the 8th century. At nearby Nagda there are decorative 10th century temples with wonderful carvings and elaborate friezes. In the evenings the sunsets are spectacular, as the changing colours of the sun wash over the Lake Pichola and this most romantic of cities.
Diwali or Deepavali, popularly known as the "festival of lights", is an important five-day festival in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism normally during October-November. For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. Bursting firecrackers, wearing new clothes and sharing sweets and a traditional visit to the Temple are some of the significant rituals of the day. On this special itinerary over the Diwali period, you'll be shown a demonstration of rangoli { floor decoration by different colours} and see a Pooja (Prayer) ceremony given by a priest. A special Diwali dinner and drinks will provided along with a celebratory fireworks display!
In the early evening of day five you'll transfer to the railway station to catch the overnight sleeper train north to Jaipur. On this journey you will sleep in bunk-style berths. There are 2-4 berths per bay and each carriage has air conditioning.
Nb. We are unable to book more than six berths on the train at any one time. Although we will do our best to ensure that the group is seated together, there may be instances where the group will be split into more than one area. Overnight train – 1 night (Bx2,D)
This morning you'll awake in the famous 'Pink City' of Jaipur. After disembarking you'll make the short transfer to your hotel for the next two nights. Jaipur, like Delhi, has both an old and a new part to the city, and you'll spend most time in the old city. The streets are busy with camels and bullock-carts, and above it all monkeys make their home in the old city walls. After time to freshen up after your journey, you'll take a half-day city tour to see some of Jaipur's most celebrated sights. You'll head to the City Palace and the famous Palace of the Winds; here royal maidens once watched the streets below. They were able to see without being seen, due to the fabulous jali (lattice screens) which hid them from prying male eyes. Today snake-charmers and fortune-tellers ply their trade below the same hideaway. Close by is the 18th century Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory built by the city's founder Jai Singh who, having a passion for the science, built five such wonders in major cities all over the north.
Fort Chandragupt - The ambiance of the property specialises in time-honoured architecture, style and sophistication. With an excellent level of service, this hotel also offers a multi cuisne resturant and spacious, comfortable en suite rooms that are all equipped with air conditioning. (2 nights - B)
Amber Fort Palace
Perched on a hill some 11km from Jaipur, and nestling among the Aravalli Hills, is the historic fort-palace of Amber. You reach the palace along a twisting road that passes Maota Lake before turning uphill, past the elephant stables, to Jai Pol or 'Victory Gate'. This is the ancient capital of the Kachhawaha Rajputs who gave their loyalty to Moghul overlords. From the spoils of war they gradually built a fabulous complex of royal rooms. Today they remain lavishly decorated with murals, jali-work and scalloped niches that once held candles to reflect the soft light from tiny mirrors, embedded in eggshell plaster. You can thoroughly explore the site and village opposite, perhaps taking an elephant ride (optional).
This afternoon is left free for you to relax or further explore the old town. The bazaars are busy night and day and are an ideal hunting ground for unusual gifts or souvenirs. (B)
Ranthambore National Park
You'll make an early start after breakfast this morning for the 180km drive to Ranthambore National Park (approx 4-5hrs.) Over the last few days in Rajasthan you'll have become aware that this is one of India's most colourful regions and today's journey is an excellent opportunity to see the rural side of life. Most notable are the elegant women carrying terracotta pots of water from the village wells, dressed in saris in a myriad of colours. They and their families are the proud descendants of the heroic Rajputs who once ruled the state. On arrival Ranthambore you'll check in to your hotel on the edge of the park.
Ranthambore National Park, covering 411 square kilometres, is one of the premier national parks of India. A wonderful blend of historical ruins and wildlife, it is the habitat of tiger, nilgai, sambar and chital (all types of antelope), sloth bear and caracal (a lynx-like cat), plus crocodile in the lake. During your two night stay here you'll make morning and evening game drives.
Tiger Den Resort - Inspired by nature and its beauty, the interior of the hotel is very ethnic in style so that you can get the best out of your surroundings.The dining hall adds an exotic taste to your trip, although continental cuisine is also available. The scenery of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve changes dramatically from the slopes of the Vindhyas to the sharp conical hills of the Arvalis, scenery that can be enjoyed from the resort's gardens and adds to the essence of unspoilt natural beauty. The hotel has a swimming pool, and the rooms are en suite with air conditioning. (2 nights - Bx2,Lx2,Dx2)
Ranthambore to Agra
This morning, you'll transfer to the train station where you'll catch train to Bharatpur (2hrs35mins). You'll have enough time to pay a visit to a local school before starting your journey to Agra. On route, you'll also visit Fatehpur Sikri, 'The City of Victory'. This UNESCO World Heritage site was the capital of the Mughal empire in the 16th century for only 10 years before becoming largely a ghost town, deserted due to a shortage of water. The complex is famous for its period monuments and includes one of the largest mosques in India.
Straddling the holy Yamuna River, Agra remains one of South Asia's greatest Moghul cities and is where you'll end your journey today. Alternating with Delhi as the capital of the Moghul Empire, Agra's past is inextricably linked with the most famous of India's rulers, and is of course renowned for the most stunning mausoleum in the world - the Taj Mahal. You'll arrive in Agra by early evening and check in to your hotel.
The Grand Imperial - This hotel offers enough history to keep you engrossed for days. Located in the heart of Agra, you will find the sights of the city within easy reach. There is a swimming pool, spa and activity room and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. (1 night -B)
Agra & the Taj Mahal
No matter how many times you've seen it, watching the reflections of light gradually wash over the Taj continues to have a fresh impact. Early this morning, just as the city begins to wake you'll make the short journey by auto rickshaw to the gates of the Taj Mahal. The Taj was built as a mausoleum for Shah Jahan's beloved wife, Mumtaz, after she died giving birth to their fourteenth child, and must surely be the world's greatest monument to love. Architects from as far afield as Europe were commissioned to take part in its creation. At first glance, the Taj appears to be simply white marble, but closer inspection reveals that the surface is inlaid with a profusion of semi-precious stones, which form stylised flowers and bowers. Words fail to do it justice - only a visit can show you its exquisite beauty.
Although Agra is best known for the Taj Mahal, it also boasts a wonderful fort, and this afternoon you will have an opportunity to wander through its pavilions, gardens and passages. Started by Akbar and finally completed four generations later by Aurangzeb, the fort is a fusion of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles, and is early evidence of the distinctive Indian style. In the Afternoon make the drive (taking approximately 5 to 6 hours) back to Delhi. En-route, you'll pay a visit to the Wildlife SOS Bear Rescue Facility. As tonight is your last evening in India your Group Leader will no doubt organise a traditional 'last supper'.
Comfort Inn President Hotel - Ideally located in the heart of the city, The President hotel is minutes from Old Delhi and only 30 miles away from the airport. The surrounding area is steeped in culture and filled with things to explore including temples and historical monuments. Various entertainment venues and charming street markets are also within easy reach. There is a currency exchange service available here and all rooms are equipped with air conditioning. (1 night - B)
Fly Home
The trip ends for Land Only clients. Those with our onward flights, the return flight home usually leaves around midday, arriving back by late afternoon the same day. (B)

Thread: Low serve or Flick serve?
watch a match with strong players and see how many flick serve they use.
The main goal of doubles is to keep you and your partner on the attack to add as much pressure as possible.
If you flick serve the shuttle goes up giving your opponent the opportunity to attack. Which goes against the doubles goal.
As mentioned before the ratio of 80% short - 20% flick works well.
Because the 20% may equate to only say 2 or 3 flick serves per set (may be more or less) more than that and your opponent will come to expect it lol.
The other thing is for people to do a flick serve there is a slight change in body gesture as they drop and flick through the shuttle. Any decent player can read their opponents so its easy to pick up on and anticipate it.
So id recommend short serves with 2 or 3 flicks thrown in every now and then.
You should watch out for who is good to flick against, and who you shouldn't flick against; my low serve can prevent a kill against my friend, but flicking up is just asking to get killed, cause he has the hardest smash on the team.
Once again, you have missed the point. The point of a flick serve is to catch your opponent off guard, as everyone stated. Bad smash or not, they can still drop of clear. Of course that would be silly to long serve just to let your opponent smash you. Thats what flick serves are for, deception, not letting your opponent smash.
In total agreement, if the only reason you would flick serve more (i.e changing the ratio) is because your opponent has a bad smash, then why would you flick serve?...surely your still giving him advantage by allowing him to attack, he may have a poor smash but his next shot may kill the shuttle..... I know there are alot of people on BC for whom english is not there first language but you still need to be accurate in what u sayLast edited by Smash _Drop; 04-28-2009 at 08:39 AM. Reason: type error
Glad to see you think I'm now right on the good ratio serve. But why should you only serve long to an opponent? I see 3 obvious reasons, but let's just discuss if your opponent has a bad smash:
and the answer is...
In doubles, if your opponent has has a bad smash you will easily counter-attack by a strong drive or a tight block at the net leaving the other team disorganised.
Why do you think in mixed doubles they'res much more flick serves on the girl? Guess.... counter-attack!
To help you understand, here's a very good example of a flick serve setup in doubles that setups with a very good chance of winning the point but both teams have amazing defense(CLICK)
Now let's hope you understand my english, and this mystical aspect in the game of badminton called strategy.
Ok ok...i think this is getting a little tedious now....I understand that you are trying to apply a strategy here but your strategy is only specific to a certain type of player and even then it is still risky. If you start to teach someone to flick serve all the time and I quote "But why should you only serve long to an opponent?" you are creating a player who is going to struggle as soon as he comes up against a stronger opponent. You will get used to flicking and focusing on your technique for the flick serve. but as you know, once you start playing at a good level you cant afford to flick serve so much and I think you will struggle to adopt a good tight short serve and plus mentally u will be used to flicking.
I think fundamentally your strategy is flawed, I have never in my years of badminton heard of such a strategy and have never seen it adopted in practical situations...I think we should agree to disagree
I agree. Its just completely unorthodox to flick serve all the time, even if your opponent has a bad smash. As you play more experienced players, all they will do is anticipate it and treat it like any other opportunity to smash. Like Smash_Drop said, your stategy only applies to a certain type of player, and often it doesn't work.
I agree with RacketlonCanada here - use your opponents weeknesses to your adantage.
If you opponent has a bad smash then flick , but it does depend.
Some opponents I have played are the ones who naturally slice their shots thus giving them hardly any power , I can flick them as much as I like - I know if they drop , Ill get a net shot in or another lift which they can either do another drop shot where I'll either lift or net or they can clear where we will gain the advantage to attack.
You can also counter-attack as RacketlonCanada said which is a very powerful move. If they have bad smash and you flick serve you could do a crouch drive back aswell thus giving you the attack.
I'm not syaing flick to all opponents only ones with weak smashes that you can handle .
I also love flicking people in county matches. Most people in county matches will stand right at the line - and try to attack my serve , i'll give them a low flick to the corner , the best they can normally do is a lift , or a weak smash.
I'm going to watch a few international matches on youtube tomorow and see what returns opponents give to a flick serve - I doubt most international players will reply with a "good" return aswell (when standing right at the service line)
I think this is the key point here. If your opponent is standing right up against the line and being very aggressive with his returns, then its good to try and catch him with a flick and like you said at best he's going to half smash lift or possibly do a drop shot.
With regards to him having a "weak smash".... at county level i think most people have a relatively good smash. If you employ the tactic of flicking to exploit his "weak" smash, if his footwork, technique and dynamic speed are good he will get to the shuttle with a good position to really attack the shuttle. Weak smash or not he will kill the shuttle with ease. If he cant then we've discussed what will happen above.

Product Description
Sometimes your ice and water can taste a little "off." Refrigerator water filters are made to not only reduce the contaminants found in your water, but to ensure that you water and ice taste the way you want it to. That�s where the 4396508 water filter comes into play. We offer 3 models of the 4396508 filter: the OEM Whirlpool replacement, the aftermarket EcoAqua replacement, and the aftermarket Supco replacement. All of these models help clean your water of contaminants and bad odors by forcing the water through activated carbon which traps the impurities. The 4396508 filter has a filtering capacity of 400 gallons while delivering your water at a rate of half a gallon per minute. Installing a new filter is extremely easy and we recommend doing so at least once every 6 months to ensure your water remains clean and healthy for you and your family.

"Americans' bottled water habit costs $100 billion a year and uses 17 million barrels of oil in production alone," according to the Pacific Institute.
Why not just use tap water? Purchasing filters, like PUR and Brita, help to remove chlorine and lead domestically from the faucet or from a portable unit. Also, water filters can improve the taste, color or odor of drinking water that comes right out of your tap.
"Our growing reliance on bottled water, in addition to creating plastic waste and a huge carbon footprint, also creates less incentive for the government to provide people with clean municipal water," so lets not purchase bottled water anymore and use water filtration systems like new Zero Water, which lets you "see your tap water go down to zero total dissolved solids after it passes through the filter."

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Amos sandpaper inside
No other shoe will give you instant blisters on your little toe like these shoes.
They are designed to be worn without socks but you need to wear socks to stop the blisters.
In other words they are a failure in what they were designed for, so unfortunate.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Soulman978 Excellent deck shoes for racing
These shoes run large. I usually wear a 13, but when I got them they were too big. I returned them and ordered a 12 and they fit like a glove, though I like my shoes to be snug when racing so my feet don't slide around inside of them. Grip on deck is phenomenal.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by MDSSailor Great shoe
Very comfortable, lightweight, quick-drying shoe. Excellent grip on deck. Fabric is breathable, and the insole is comfortable with or without socks.

I know these are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Only worn in the house so far as I have not had a chance to wear them while boating.

Tim Cook maintains Steve Jobs' Beatles business model
Tim Cook likes to talk about Apple's values and the virtues of teamwork. At the Worldwide Developers Conference this week, he told the 5,000 developers in attendance to build products for Apple's platforms that trigger emotional responses, such as "delight," "surprise," "love," and "connection" for users.
One of the videos shown at WWDC, and released as a TV ad, introduces the world to Apple's value system: "We spend a lot of time on a few great things...until every idea we touch...enhances each life it touches.&… Read more

Chrome Southside Shoes
The toils of toe cages will do a number on your shoes. In fact, bicycle commuting is nothing short of devastating on just about everything that you own. With a host of unpredictable elements to engage on every block, it's about time that you take hold of whatever security that you can. We recommend starting at the touch points, and in this instance, the feet. Chrome's Southside Shoes not only offer protection from the urban environment, but their throwback skate aesthetic will blend in when you're off of the bike, too.
For the uppers, Chrome made the Southside shoes from an oiled, full-grain leather. And while the leather only offers a minimum of protection from water, the weathering and distressing that occurs with age is priceless. To assure comfort, the Southsides feature a supple, padded collar and tongue to act as a buffer between either your laces, toe cages, or foot straps. The midsole uses a blown rubber wedge to maximize comfort, while the sole has a 100% vulcanized rubber construction. This stiffens up the shoe for a little better power transfer, but mainly, it's to resist the inevitable tattoo of sole wear from your platforms.
The shoes use a lace-up fastening system, and they feature both an embossed and woven Chrome logo on the side of the shoe.
The Chrome Southside Shoes are available in whole and half sizes from 5.0 to 13.0 and in the colors Black, Grey, and Tan.
Bottom Line:
No more click-clacking on the cafe floor.

This month's DVD includes the innovative SLAMPP Linux, a one-stop server system for small offices and home networks.

SLAMPP problem?
I have tried SLAMPP on 3 different PCs. Each time it hangs on the screen that asks if you want to use proprietary software.. anyone know a fix?
Slampp in a virtualbox
Slampp 2.0 definately does not like being inside a virtual machine. In fact it crashed VirtualBox 3.0, yes I know VMs should not be able to crash the Virtual machine manager, but Slampp managed to do just that.
Other than that, can anyone really see a reason for a 'server' distro to be a Live system? Are they expecting people to boot their home PC into Slampp and never again use it as a client? For a home server to be of use it needs to be either on it's own PC or inside a VM so that it is always available to the clients.
So for that reason I'm afraid the Slampp idea is a none starter as far as I am concerned.
Other than that, This month's Linux Magazine is very good, a lot of the more interesting aspects of Linux crept up on you at the same time, which makes fr a good read.

text: On February 16, 2012, eight distinguished alumni came back to campus to present a panel program for first-year law students titled How to Get Hired: Perspectives from Alumni Employers. Conceived of by the alumni participants ―Andrea Alonso '81, Meghan Cannella '07, Nicholas Cannella '75, Kathryn Cole '02, Richard F. Hans '93, Patrick MacMurray '95, Rachel Paras '04 and Sarah Zimmer '10―and hosted by the Career Development Office, the program offered invaluable guidance on what employers are looking for in hiring associates, summer associates, interns and law clerks. After introductions by Dean Larry Cunningham, Patrick MacMurray shared that his background in transactional law compelled him to pinpoint errors in resumes and e-mails he gets from prospective employees. Echoing this point, Nicholas and Meghan Cannella explained how job applicants could avoid having a resume end up in the "typo pile" or "boring pile" in their offices. They shared examples of well written cover letters and showed how to communicate one's background effectively but concisely. Though they offered humorous anecdotes from past interview mishaps, both Andrea Alonso and Kathryn Cole focused on a range of interview steps and missteps ― from physical appearance and voicemail etiquette to social media profiles and body language ― that send powerful messages about a person's competence and confidence. Summing up her remarks, Cole advised, "Look like a lawyer, not like a law student." Richard Hans added that it is also important to return phone calls promptly and, if a student is fortunate to receive multiple jobs offers, to decline offers gracefully in order to preserve business relationships for future opportunities. All the alumni panelists reiterated how much they want to hire St. John's students, pointing out that they know from personal experiences what a great legal education the Law School provides. Still, they said, students have to demonstrate courtesy, professionalism and knowledge during interviews to, as Dean Cunningham put it, "maximize the potential" of making that hire possible. "This program gave students a unique insight into the hiring process. One of the greatest strengths of St. John's School of Law is the dedication and willingness of alumni to help and mentor current students. We are grateful to the alumni participants for taking time out of their busy schedules to share advice with students," Dean Cunningham said.

Case Studies
Symantec Case Study
Symantec is a global leader in infrastructure software, enabling businesses and consumers to have confidence in a connected world. The company helps customers protect their infrastructure, information, and interactions by delivering software and services that address risks to security, availability, compliance, and performance. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, Symantec has operations in 40 countries.
Within Idiom WorldServer, the Fuzzy Score is set here to 75%. SYSTRAN automatically translates segments lower than this threshold. Translators review coloured segments within the Browser Workbench.
Our main objective is to offer quality product documentation and technical support to our international customers in a cost effective manner. With the roll-out of our global content management system, we have control over our documentation production process. Our metrics show a 100% increase in word counts managed by our internal translation team since the introduction of SYSTRAN technologies into our localization process. Automated translation software is a powerful innovation when integrated into a streamlined translation workflow. It clearly boosts our globalization capacities.
EADS Case Study
EADS is a global leader in aerospace, defence and related services. The Group includes the aircraft manufacturer Airbus, Eurocopter, the world's largest helicopter supplier, EADS Astrium, the European leader in space programmes from Ariane to Galileo and MBDA, the international leader in missile systems. EADS largely deployed SYSTRAN on its Intranet. MBDA ensures the continuous enrichment of the translation tool.
"The dictionary coding at the heart of machine translation removes ambiguities so at MBDA, we load a number of noun phrases and verb phrases into SYSTRAN to maximize the coverage rate and enhance translation quality. The higher quantity of expressions contained in the user dictionaries leads to improved translations. The various terms and phrases are initially created by MBDA and then transferred to the SYSTRAN Translation Server on the EADS portal, which is accessible by all EADS users. Even basic machine translations are now of a good quality, meaning the number of requests for expensive human translation services have been reduced. Users are increasingly going to the self-service portal."
Price Waterhouse Coopers Case Study
Use and Cost Savings: Based on the success of an initial deployment in Spain, other countries were added one at a time by customizing the system for each new language and adding authenticated access for the users in that country. PwC paid for the service under a global agreement, with individual countries paying for the cost of local customization (that is, adding PwC-specific and department specific vocabulary to the generic translation dictionaries). List price for a machine translation desktop software license is approximately $1,000, whereas a corporate service, including setup costs, ranges from $13,500 per annum for 100 users with five language pairs to $77,200 per annum for unlimited users and five language pairs.
Results: As with most deployments of machine translation, PwC found the main benefit for users to be understanding the gist of documents in a language they do not speak well. The following uses have been identified to date.
Ford Case Study
Ford Motor Co. is an example of the MT (Machine Translation) imperative on a grand scale. Ford has manufacturing facilities in Germany, Spain, Belgium, Mexico, and Brazil, where workers assemble vehicles using instructions in their local language. However, all of the instructions are originally created in the United States in English. A single car line can have assembly instructions with as many as 300,000 sentences. Moreover, the instructions undergo frequent changes during the production cycle, requiring quick retranslation and distribution. For such a massive translation problem, MT is the only viable solution.
Ford engineers prepare the assembly instructions using a standardized language. This language has a limited range of syntactic patterns and vocabulary to reduce the possibility of ambiguity. When assembly instructions are prepared, each standard language sentence is stored as a record in an Oracle database. Ford developed its own artificial intelligence system to check the sentences for conformity to the Standard Language rules. When Ford needs to translate the instructions for a particular vehicle and language, the appropriate records are sent to the SYSTRAN MT system, where they are translated using Ford's customized dictionaries and rewritten to the database. The translated instructions can then be sent directly to the PCs of Ford workers at manufacturing sites worldwide. Currently, Ford is producing MTs in four languages: German, Dutch, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. The database, SYSTRAN system, and customized dictionaries are integrated into Ford's Global Study Process Allocation Process (GSPAS), a system for managing labor and manufacturing costs for Ford plants worldwide.
Avon & Somerset Police Case Study
Avon & Somerset Constabulary is the Home Office police force in England responsible for policing the county of Somerset and the districts of South Gloucestershire, Bristol, North Somerset & Bath and North East Somerset. The force, providing service for 1.5 million people, is one of the largest in England.
SYSTRANLinks fires information back to the SYSTRAN web site and returns it when the translation is complete. It literally takes seconds. It's a very cost effective solution. We have had good feedback with regards to community policing, it has really helped the force. Importantly it has also encouraged victims to report information about crimes that otherwise they may not have. Citizens can now engage with the police on their own terms and this ensures a good relationship.
Peter Bridger, Senior Web Site Programmer, Avon and Somerset Police.
Gilbane Group Case Study
Symantec is a global leader in providing security, storage and systems management solutions to help businesses and consumers secure and manage their information. Headquartered in Cupertino, Calif., Symantec has operations in more than 40 countries.
Marking its 25th anniversary in 2007, Symantec published an extensive corporate history, drawing interesting parallels between its own evolution and the Internet-driven information explosion. As the web has transformed from consumer networks to enterprise infrastructures, so too has Symantec, demonstrated by a steady focus on individual and business requirements for online safety. The company's customer-driven philosophy extends to freely accessible thought leadership on topics such as security, storage, performance, compliance, and IT risk management, providing knowledge value in addition to products and solutions.
Lincolnshire county Council Case Study
Lincolnshire, situated on the East Coast of England is the UK's fourth largest county. It stretches from the River Humber to the Wash, and like an increasing number of local authorities has a growing population of immigrant workers.
Just a few thousand pounds per year to fully address our translation needs and provide a multi-lingual communication is amazing value. To date, the quality of output has been good. We were never naive enough to believe that our pages would be as fluent or literal as a manual translation, but if visitors understand enough of the web content to get a flavour of its meaning, then there can be no argument for not using it. Using SYSTRAN, we're in a position to make the content of the entire site available to citizens for whom English is a second language.
Peter Barton, Head of Web & Information Services, Lincolnshire County Council.
Gaumont Case Study
When Stuart McKay, a freelance film archive researcher, was looking for historical footage of the First World War for a new British TV series, he naturally turned to the Web for information about relevant holdings in French film archives. France, the birthplace of cinema, has a vast range of holdings of early film in its military and government archives. But what made Stuart's search particularly fruitful was the availability of a remarkable online database listing the complete historical footage held in the Cinйmatique Gaumont newsreel archives. And above all, the ability to search this database in the universal language of professional media searchers - English.
The Cinématique Gaumont is a French film library offering the largest range of French language newsreel and other film holdings of its kind. Information about the archive is accessible via the Internet, offering film researchers an unparalleled database for searching cultural and historical material on celluloid, viewing excerpts and then ordering them. To render this facility as universally accessible as possible to researchers like Stuart McKay, Gaumont contracted SYSTRAN to provide an ondemand translation solution that would enable researchers to retrieve the database and read its film descriptions in English. Gaumont has been able to substantially grow its market for newsreel film archive users by combining the ease of access afforded by an online database with the communicative effectiveness of SYSTRAN's Machine Translation technology.

I have used Systran to translate about 2,500 pages of (for me) difficult Panamanian statutes.
I could not have done it at my then current level of proficiency without Systran and even today, when I read Spanish fairly fluently.
I would not dream of getting involved in a translation without using this product.

Blind Items Revealed

Talking about Syria last year, President Barack Obama said "a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized."
The implication was clear. If Syria uses chemical weapons in the civil war, the United States will have to do something.
Now, the White House says it looks like Syria has used chemical weapons against its own people. So here we are.
What will Obama do in response? Whatever it is, it's time to sit up and take notice, because this news story is moving to another level.
5. What makes chemical weapons a game changer?
Some argue that conventional weapons like guns or bombs also have a massive human toll. They say chemical weapons shouldn't be a turning point for the world to act.
But the White House maintains that they're a game changer.
"The use of chemical weapons is contrary to the standards adopted by the vast majority of nations and international efforts since World War I to eliminate the use of such weapons ... The use of these weapons on a mass scale and a threat of proliferation is a threat to our national interests and a concern to the entire world," White House spokesman Jay Carney said this week.
6. Why didn't the United States just send a bunch of weapons to the opposition when it had the chance?
In June, the United States said it would send the rebels small arms, ammunition and potentially anti-tank weapons. But that was long after the unrest started. Why the delay?
Well, some argue that sending weapons to a region of the world that also contains Islamic extremists is risky business.
Many of the rebel fighters are militants with pro-al-Qaida sympathies, the same stripe of militants America has battled in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Syria rebels have promised U.S. and European officials that any military weaponry they get won't end up in extremists' hands. But that hasn't quelled criticism from some quarters that arming the rebels is a dangerous risk.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has slammed the decision to arm the opposition. At an economic forum in June, he cautioned -- "Where will those weapons end up?"
7. What's the deal with Russia? Why are they criticizing the U.S.?
Putin has made it clear that Russia and the United States don't see eye to eye when it comes to Syria.
Russia and Syria are longtime allies. For one, just take a look at their weapons deals. Between 2007 and 2010, Russian firms selling weapons to Syria made almost $5 billion.
It would be costly for Russia to end that relationship, analyst Peter Fragiskatos told CNN earlier this year
"Russia's leadership still sees much to lose economically and strategically from cutting Syria loose," Fragiskatos wrote. "Russia sees Syria as another test case for the West's appetite for intervention, and views the danger of U.S. involvement as a direct threat to its own interests."
There are other reasons to suspect Russia will keep supporting Syria. Russia's only naval base in the Mediterranean is on the Syrian coast, and Putin is still upset about NATO's bombing in Libya two years ago that removed Russian ally Moammar Gadhafi from power.
8. What's religion got to do with it?
The al-Assad family is Alawite, a Shiite Muslim offshoot that's one of the minorities in a country that is nearly three-quarters Sunni.
Al-Assad has filled key positions in his government with extended family members, and many of his supporters are Alawites and other minorities who fear what might happen if the Sunnis were to gain power.
Because the Syrian regime is Alawite and the majority of the country is Sunni, there are concerns that Syria could spiral into even more violence.
9. What's the worst that could happen?

The 6th Fortune Lounge Cruise Happy guests, huge cheques, glasses of champagne and glorious scenery helped to make the 6th Fortune Lounge Cruise a resounding success. Of course, the excitement of a five-day onboard slots tournament helped too! The luxury vessel, Celebrity Summit, departed from San Juan in Puerto Rico on 13 April, carrying our guests: 50 players and their partners. The boat stopped at the islands of Saint Croix, Saint Kitts, Dominica, Grenada and Saint Thomas before returning to San Juan seven days later. As well as taking in some gorgeous scenery and pristine beaches on the various islands, our guests all had a chance to win fantastic prizes in an onboard slots tournament! The preliminary heats started off in the Celebrity Summit's Fortune casino early in the cruise, and each night, the top players won cash prizes. Each evening's winners and the players with the highest combined totals made it through to the nail-biting final on Thursday, 18 April.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to the scene of a shooting with multiple victims this evening in New Town.
They said the violence erupted about 4:45 pm outside a convenience store near the corner of Logan & Tyler streets.
According to the police, at least five adult males were taken to local hospitals with injuries. Witnesses told Action News that the injuries were not life-threatening and the victims ranged in age from 17 to 23 years old.
"I just heard the gunshots, came out, and saw them laying on the ground," said Levy, who asked that we not use his last name.
Some were Levy's friends, and some, he says, were his cousins. And according to him, all are expected to make a full recovery.
"Nothing is life threatening. The boys are still walking. The boys are still breathing," said Levy.
But as blue and red lights reflect down Charlotte Bowman's street, she can't help but keep an even closer eye on her two grandsons.
"I'm concerned about it, you know, especially in the broad daylight with all the kids out of school. I keep them close. I keep my grandboys close," said Bowman.
A description of a possible suspect was not immediately released.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
Asian skin care will be the main theme of what the new Asian skin products writer will be writing about who has just joined Free face cream Ltd. The new writer will be producing her first articles in one month from now.
Derek Conroy, one of the Directors at Free face cream Ltd. said recently that "we have been looking to get a writer on board to write about Asian skin care products for quite some time now. We have noticed that we have had more and more Asian people visiting our site over the past few months and we wanted to give these people all the information they could ever need about how to care for Asian skin. This new writer will be producing articles on a variety of products that are designed for Asian skin and there will be a focus on natural skin care products in particular. We are hoping to expand our Asian readership further down the line."
There is a special forum online that is attached to freefacecream.net that is dedicated to talking about organic skin care products for Asian people and there have been a number of threads appearing on this forum that are related to the appointment of the new Asian skin products writer. The management team at Free face cream Ltd. have said that they are pleased with this development as they want as many people as possible to read the articles that this writer produces.
In addition to making this new appointment the team at Free face cream Ltd. are also giving away a free sample of face cream on their Company website this week. The free sample is available right now at http://freefacecream.net/asian-beauty-products/.

Maintenance and Service
When properly maintained, two to four years on average. (Top)
Yes. Two full years from the date of purchase. One year for the battery. (Top)
Under normal circumstances, a unit exposed to rain will not be damaged, although we would not advise putting the mower into operation during a severe storm. However, should it begin raining while it is operating; there is no problem for the Robomow®. Several Robomow® models are equipped with a rain sensor and you may choose not to allow operation while it is raining. It is prohibited to wash Robomow® with a water hose, particularly from the underside. (Top)
No, the charger is equipped with a float control, allowing the charger to remain connected at all times without risk of damage. In fact, this is the recommended procedure between uses and for winter storage. (Top)
This depends on the model you are using, size of garden and frequency of operation, but typical figures are very low, no more than 10 for an entire year of operation. (Top)
