March 5, 2009
An interdisciplinary team of students from the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation was recently selected to advance to the finals of the annual Real Estate Investment and Development (REIDO) Case Competition, hosted by George Washington University.
The Maryland team won the REIDO competition last year, and hopes are high for a repeat victory. The final round of the competition began with a charrette on February 2. In late March the final entries will be judged by a panel of development professionals. The winning team will receive a $15,000 prize.
The site for the competition is large and challenging: a 28-acre parcel just west of Gallaudet University fronting on Florida Avenue in Northeast Washington, DC. The Maryland team is proposing a new East Hill Gate community that connects the Gallaudet campus with a wide boulevard to the Florida Avenue Metro station and the new development happening in NOMA (North of Mass Ave).
Team leader Daniel Irvin (MRED) and faculty sponsor Rob Rosenfeld have led this year's team to a place in the finals. Joining them on the team are Lin Mao (ARCH graduate), Eric Walter (MRED), Jonathan Florin (MRED), Christina Collins (ARCH undergraduate), Andy Howe (MRED) and Tayler Simpson (MRED).
The School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland is home to four academic disciplines: architecture, urban planning, historic preservation and real estate development. Committed to educating its students and community about the importance of sustainability and smart growth, the School practices an interdisciplinary approach to education, research, creative work, and community and professional service. For more information, please e-mail us or call 301.405.8000.

Instructions for Authors
Editorial Policy
Invertebrate immunity is devoted to the publication of research in all areas/of innate immunity of invertebrates. Please see our Aims and Scope for details. The primary mission of the journal is to become the central publication venue for all members of the researcher community in Invertebrate immunity. The journal is peer-reviewed, publishes in electronic format only and on ongoing basis (no issues). The language of the journal is English.
Manuscripts should be submitted to Invertebrate immunity via online submission system Editorial Manager
Manuscript submitted to this journal should:
- contain original work - not published elsewhere in any medium (in whole or in part) by the authors or anyone else and not under consideration for publication in any other medium;
- focus on the aims and scope of the journal;
- be precisely written - should contain all essential features of a scientific publication that is easy to understand for the target audience;
- written in English - attention to detail of the language will avoid severe misunderstandings which might lead to rejection of the paper;
- be submitted in electronic format.
The journal publishes:
- Research Articles
- Communications and Rapid Communications
- Reviews and Mini-Reviews
- Commentaries
- Letters to the Editor and Amendments
Formatting Requirements
Our contributors are asked to ensure their submissions comply with formatting rules. Although the journal can provide limited technical support, it is ultimately the responsibility of the author to deliver a properly formatted electronic version of the article.
Please carefully follow the guidelines described in Instructions for Authors.
Overview of the Editorial Process
The whole peer-review workflow is performed in the Editorial Manager online system.
Each manuscript should be accompanied by a cover letter which should explicitly state that the authors have the authority to publish the work and that the manuscript (or one with substantially the same content, by any of the authors) has not been previously published in any language anywhere and that it is not under simultaneous consideration by another journal. All authors of the manuscript are responsible for its content; they must have agreed to its publication and have given the corresponding author the authority to act on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication. The corresponding author is responsible for informing the coauthors of the manuscript status throughout the submission, review, and production process.
Peer Review Process
Each manuscript after uploading to the Editorial Manager receives individual identification code that is used in all correspondence with regard to the publication process. However a submission may be declined by the Editor without review, if the studies reported are not sufficiently novel or important to merit publication in the journal. Manuscripts deemed unsuitable (insufficient originality or limited interest to the target audience) are returned to the author(s) without a review. The Editor may appoint an Associate Editor with expertise in the relevant field, who is fully responsible for further handling the manuscript and for making an ultimate decision about its acceptance/rejection.
a) choice of reviewers
The Editor seeks advice from experts of in the appropriate field. Research articles and communications are refereed by a minimum of two reviewers, review papers by at least three.
b) suggestions from authors
Authors are requested to suggest researchers competent to review their manuscript. However, please note that this will be treated only as a suggestion; the final selection of reviewers is exclusively the Editor's decision. The authors' names are revealed to the referees, but not vice versa.
The reviewers make an objective, impartial evaluation of scientific merits of the manuscript. Reviewers operate under guidelines set forth in Guidelines for reviewers and are asked to comment on the following aspects of submitted manuscripts:
- novelty and originality of the work;
- broad interest to the community of researchers;
- significance to the field, potential impact of the work, conceptual or methodological advances described;
- study design and clarity;
- rigorous methodology;
- appropriate analysis of data;
- substantial evidence supporting claims and conclusions;
If a manuscript does not meet the standards of the journal, lacks scientific rigor or contains major deficiencies, the reviewers will attempt to provide constructive criticism to assist the authors in ultimately improving their work. If a manuscript is potentially considered acceptable for publication but needs to be improved, it is invited for reconsideration with the expectation that the authors will fully address the reviewers' suggestions.
Once all reviews have been received and considered by the Editor, a decision letter to the corresponding author is drafted. The types of decisions may be:
- Accept without revision
- Minor revision
- Major revision
- Reject
Revised manuscript submission
When revision of a manuscript is requested, authors should return the revised version of their manuscript as soon as possible. Prompt action may ensure fast publication if a paper is finally accepted for publication. If it is the first revision of an article, authors need to return their revised manuscript within 28 days. If it is the second revision, authors need to return their revised manuscript within 14 days. If these deadlines are not met, and no specific arrangements for completion have been made with the Editor, the manuscript will be treated as a new submission and will receive a new identification code along with a new registration date.
Final decision is made by the Editor.
Final proofreading
Authors will receive a pdf file with the edited version of their manuscript for final proofreading. This is the last opportunity to view the article before its publication on the journal web site. No changes or modifications can be introduced once it is published. Thus authors are requested to check their proof pages carefully against the manuscript within 3 working days and prepare a separate document containing all changes that should be introduced. Authors are sometimes asked to provide additional comments and explanations in response to remarks and queries from the language or technical editors.
Immediate publication
Because the journal has no issues, manuscripts accepted for publication are immediately published online (that is when final proofreading is completed by the authors, and all concerns are resolved). Once a manuscript appears on the journal's web site, it is considered as published.
Because the journal is published in Open Access model, without a printed version, the authors receive no reprints.
If any errors are detected in the published material, they should be immediately reported to the Editor. The corresponding author should send appropriate corrected material to the Editor via email. This material will be considered for publication as soon as feasible.
All authors retain copyright, unless – due to their local circumstances – their work is not copyrighted. The non-commercial use of each article will be governed by the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license. The corresponding author grants Versita the exclusive license to commercial use of the article, by signing the License to Publish. Scanned copy of the license should be sent by e-mail to the Editor of Invertebrate Immunity, as soon as possible.
Scientific misconduct and other fraud
Scientific misconduct is defined by the Office of Research Integrity as "fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other practices that seriously deviate from those that are commonly accepted within the academic community for proposing, conducting, or reporting research". In cases where there is a suspicion or allegation of scientific misconduct or fraudulent research in manuscripts submitted or published, the Editors reserve the right to impose sanctions on the authors, such as:
- an immediate rejection of the manuscript;
- banning author(s) from submitting manuscripts to the journal for a certain period of time;
- retracting the manuscript;
- alerting editors of other journals and publishers;
- bringing the concerns to the authors' sponsoring or funding institution or other appropriate authority for investigation
Invertebrate Immunity publishes only original manuscripts that are not also published or considered for publication elsewhere. Multiple submissions/publications, or redundant publications (re-packaging in different words of data already published by the same authors) will be rejected. If they are detected shortly after publication, the journal reserves the right to publish a Retraction Note.
Retraction Policy
Serious errors in a published manuscript and infringements of professional ethical codes will result in an article being retracted. This will occur where the article is clearly defamatory, or infringes others' legal rights, or where the article is, or there is good reason to expect it will be, the subject of a court order, or where the article, if acted upon, might pose a serious health risk. In any of these cases all coauthors will be informed about the retraction. A Retraction Note detailing the reason for retraction will be linked to the original article.
[in medical, biomedical and some chemical journals, special provisions on use of experimental animals and human subjects, and also on conflict of interests are necessary]
Use of experimental animals and human subjects
Submission of a manuscript to Invertebrate Immunity implies that any experimental research that is reported in the manuscript has been performed with the approval of an appropriate ethics committee. Manuscripts may be rejected if the Editor considers that the research has not been carried out within an ethical framework. Research involving human participants must be in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration, and any experimental research on animals must follow internationally recognized guidelines. A statement to this effect must appear in the Experimental Procedures section of the manuscript, including the name of the body which gave approval, with a reference number where appropriate. No identifying information should be published for human subjects unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient gives written Informed Consent for publication. Information about Informed Consent obtained from participants should be indicated in the published article. We encourage authors to submit a sample of a patient consent form, and may require submission on particular occasions.
See Instructions for Authors for further details.
Conflicts of Interest
In order to encourage transparency without impeding publication, all authors, referees and editors must declare any association that poses a conflict of interest in connection with the manuscript. There should be no contractual relations or proprietary considerations that would affect the publication of information contained in a submitted manuscript. A competing interest for a scholarly journal is anything that interferes with, or could reasonably be perceived as interfering with, the full and objective presentation, review, or publication of research findings, or of articles that comment on or review research findings. Potential conflicts of interest occur when an author, editor or reviewer has financial, personal or professional interests in a publication that might influence their scientific judgment.
Examples of such conflicts include, but are not limited to:
- Financial conflicts: stock ownership; patents; paid employment or consultancy; board membership; research grants; travel grants and honoraria for speaking or participation at meetings; gifts
- Personal conflicts: relationship with editors, editorial board members, or with possible reviewers who have had recent or ongoing collaborations with the authors, have commented on drafts of the manuscript, are in direct competition, have a history of dispute with the authors
- Professional conflicts: public associations with institutions or corporations whose products or services are related to the subject matter of the article; membership of a government advisory council/committee; relationship with organizations and funding bodies
Authors should declare whether they have any conflicts of interests that could have influenced the reporting of the experimental data or conclusions in their paper. Such a statement should list all potential interests or, if appropriate, should clearly state that there are none. The Editor may decide not to publish papers when he considers the competing interests are such that they may have compromised the work or the analyses or interpretations presented. Upon submission of a manuscript, authors may suggest to exclude any specific editors or reviewers from the peer review process of their article. It is the responsibility of authors to disclose in the Acknowledgments section any funding sources for supporting the project or other relationships that are relevant.
Editors should consider whether any of the above competing interests are relevant to them and the manuscript under consideration. Editor who believes that the conflict will preclude an impaired judgment should decline to handle the paper.
Reviewers should consider whether any of the above applies to them and declare any such competing interests. If they feel they cannot review a paper because of any competing interest, they should immediately inform the Editor. They should also declare any association with the authors of a paper.

Mark Millar has done it again.
Millar, the writer of Civil War and Wanted, has returned to the Marvel Ultimate Universe and proven why he is one of the best.
This issue focuses almost entirely on Hawkeye and Captain America and it works beautifully. Normally anything with the name "Avengers" on it has so many characters you need to carry with you a Guide to the Marvel Universe to follow along.
Millar also is one of the best Captain America writers around. His version of Steve Rogers actually acts like an old man in a young person's body. The fact that Rogers was put on ice during WWII and only woke up in the past few years seems to be lost on most writers.
Watching Cap and Hawkeye take out a bunch of A.I.M. agents above the Chicago skyline was like getting to second shot at happiness.
See, a few years ago Millar and artist Brian Hitch put out two of the greatest comic series ever created (forget about Watchmen) called Ultimates 1 and Ultimates 2. Over the 25 issues they put out, the Avengers were re-envisioned as a block-ops squad for the U.S. government. It was beyond awesome.
Then, Jeph Loeb came in. The former actually good writer destroyed everything that Millar and Hitch had did. In Ultimates 3, Loeb's version of the Avengers were boring, didn't act anything like they did in 1 and 2, and seemed lamer than their 616 counterparts.
So, now Millar is back and instead of wasting time trying to reverse what Loeb did, he just accepts it and moves on. Hawkeye still has his new costume on, the world is still half destroyed by Magneto, and Nick Fury has just returned from a different universe.
But, things are off and running. This issue introduces the Ultimate Red Skull!
With Fury back, the team working with SHIELD again, and the new twist with the Red Skull, this publication is going to be one of my new favorites.

On the hospitality news, I didn't see a lot of news about short term serviced apartment. Many hotels provide this kind of facilities. I would like to know why they don't communicate about it? or it is my mistake and I didn't read properly the newsletters...
We are new actor on the market of holiday rents throughout the world. Lofty was launched in June 2011 (beta test) and officially on October 6th with the objective to propose an innovating service aiming to connect users to available houses and apartments on rent worldwide. The site proposes right now a beta version with an offer of more than 26.000 properties available for rent in more than 3.000 cities. Lofty sets up as an operational team of 10 people working from New York. Fabrice Grinda (Aucland, Olx…) a recognized Web entrepreneur and investor in multiple internet companies is one the 3 cofounders and at the birth of the project.
I am based in Singapore and I would like to get your reaction. Thanks!!!

My Profile
After The Burial
Hailing from the Twin Cities region of Minnesota, progressive metalcore band After the Burial formed in 2004. Originally consisting of guitarists Trent Hafdahl and Justin Lowe, bassist Lerichard Foral, drummer Dan Carle, and vocalist Nick Wellner, After the Burial created a sound that pushed the boundaries of heaviness through the use of extended-scale guitar work and progressive math-metal technical playing. The group self-released its first EP, Forging a Future Self, in 2006, and began touring heavily in support of the album. The following year, Wellner decided to leave the band after coming to the conclusion that the touring life wasnt for him. He was replaced by Grant Luoma, and in 2008 the band signed to Sumerian Records and released its first full-length, Rareform. Personality clashes within the band led to Luoma and After the Burial parting ways later that year, with Anthony Notarmaso joining as Luoma's replacement. In 2009, the group released a re-recorded version of Rareform featuring Notarmasos vocals and live drums while the band got acclimated to the new singer. After dealing with busy touring schedules and member changes, After the Burial finally settled down to write new material, and in 2010 released their first album of new material in two years, In Dreams. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi
Selected Discography
Track List: Rareform (Re-Recorded)

No In Dreams :( Can't believe you are on Pandora Anthony!!!
Yet another incomplete discography. I don't guess it matters though because if they had the newer stuff on here they probably wouldn't play it. Got several bands on my station where Pandora almost never plays stuff off the newer albums and gets hung up playing songs off a single album from the mid 2000s. I guess I should be happy heavy music is even available for listening here, but there has been very little discovery for me.
they literally sound on the cd as they do live, saw them in NY a year or two with For Today, Whitechapel, Impending Doom and I Declare War and they honestly killed the set and open with Aspirations! first time i heard ever heard those guys and now i consider them in my top favorites
danesyoutube -but if u listen to anthony vocals live, they sound exactly like they do one the cd, anthony is a super talented screamer, he doesn't hold back a he screams full voice insted of oli sykes from bring me the horizon, i personally thing anthony's screams are fine, it fits with the djent style, an tech style they r going for, their old vocalist was the worst, he could hold a scream at all! i've been follow ing ATB threw their ep to in dreams i know alot about them Trent is a really good
Where the hell is In Dreams? I wanna hear some Your Troubles Will Cease on my Pandora dammit!
The Re-Issue really pisses me off. The drums are better and actually real. and the guitars are just fine, but the new vocalist's voice does not belong or fit on this material at all. He's good on In Dreams, but that re-issue really pisses me off
In Dreams uploaded into the playlist now! It's 2012!
Actually the original drummer's name was Greg Erikson sp?, but anyway, just thought i'd give credit where it was due, Dan wasn't added to the lineup until 07
I'm definitely a fan of the original Rareform production. It's nothing against Anthony's vocals, just the actual production itself wasn't as good. They definitely need to get In Dreams and the EP up on here. Pi and To Carry You Away would be an amazing addition to my listening pleasures.
Holy s**t these guys are insane.. they just popped up on my list with Aspiration.. . wow
@ SynSkwee
They use 8 string guitars lol
But yeah these guys are amazing. Don't like their new album at all though.

Saw them live with AILD and winds of plague, it was amazing they had really sweet bright green and orange guitars, really sweet riffing. Melted my face!
Listen to their other songs.. They are a better example of how beastly their guitarists are... I saw them live and they were flawless... better then the actual recording
Not really impressed by these guys, but their drummer is awesome...ma y b e it's just the way his drums are tracked and leveled, but damn it sounds good...
Oh My, I Love These Guys. Pure Amazingness. I think Rareform and Forging a Future Self were my two favorite albums. Cant wait till they come to my hometown! Totally getting tickets.(:
Same here saw AILD, After the Burial, and Winds of plague. Siiiiick. made me fall back in love with seven strings. But AILD was the best. And got to meet nick hippa. boss
Saw these guys with Upon a Burning Body, War of Ages, Carnifex, and Winds of Plague... They stole the show right from under Johnny Plague's nose.
saw these guys for the first time last week in RI with As I Lay Dying. f**king sick.
saw these guys last night, they are f@#$ing amazeing, theyre better live than in albums,my neck is screaming from headbangin and im pretty sure someone crushed my kidney in the mosh
in dreams is a sick cd
the re release is awful, the recording and mixing arent nearly as good, and the fractal effect is amazing

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Holme Abbey like this:
ABBEY-HOLME, or Abbey-Town, a township and a subdistrict in Wigton district, Cumberland. The township is in the parish of Holme-Cultram; and lies on the river Waver, and on the Carlisle and Silloth railway, near the head of Morecambe bay, 6 miles WNW of Wig ton. It has a station of the name of Abbey on the rail way, and a post office‡ of the name of Abbey-Town under Carlisle. It was formerly a market town; and it still has a fair on 29 Oct. A Cistertian Abbey was founded here, in the 12th century, by Henry I.; and rose to such consequence that its abbots were frequently summoned to sit in parliament, in the reigns of Edward I. ...
and II. It was demolished by Robert Bruce, but afterwards splendidly rebuilt. It sustained much injury in the time of Henry VIII.; but its church continued in good condition till 1600; but then the steeple fell, and destroyed great part of the chancel; and in 1604, most of the rest was ruined by an accidental fire. Pop. of the township, 982. Houses, 200. A bill was introduced in 1864 to make a railway from the Carlisle and Silloth at Abbey-Holme to the Maryport and Carlisle, in the parish of Wigton, with a branch to Bolton, and branches therefrom to the Maryport and Carlisle, and near Priestcroft.-The subdistrict comprises the greater part of Holme-Cultram, parts of two other parishes, and two entire parishes. Acres, with the rest of Holme-Cultram, 71,720. Pop., 8,024. Houses, 1,621.

PUNE: Though the city has received more than twice its quota of rain for June, the lack of consistency and absence of rain in the catchment areas has become a cause for concern. According to irrigation department officials, the four dams around Pune have just enough water in them to last for 20 days.
There is hope that the second month of the monsoon will bring more rain. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), since the start of this season the city has recorded 286.1 mm rain. Usually, there is around 116 mm of rain in June.

OH I would love to get a large Bunny, but in Japan it is impossible as most places are only 50m2 and the biggest mansion is 94m2, and I would think a large bunny would need a larger area to open up to full speed. ... Then again a running mill could work, does for cats in Japan.
Cinnamon wanted to say "Look at me I am cute!!"
Thank you tanlover14 and Skipper's Mama, yes Japan is really different, coming from Australia and moving to Japan, it is sometime hard to get my head around a few things here, some of the TV shows if they were produced in Australia, the USA, Canada or the UK, people would be on the phone complaining with in seconds. I posted one such TV show on my Youtube channel and had people claiming Japanese are Paedophiles and Child abusers .. it was harmless fun and quiet common for Japan.
Being in Japan now going on 10 years and I have opened my eyes, can now see how closed minded we are in the west.
Right back to Photos. Yuki chan is at the moment doing the Bunny 500 around my living room and once again using my Laptop and today the mouse as a spring board for flight, I think she wants to be SUPERBUNNY!
Yuki chan cannot just eat the hay from the out side of the bowl, she has a need to sit in the bowl with the hay and toss it outside of the bowl. (Oi Slave make sure you clean up before bedtime fank you!)
Just a little stretch.
Keep up with what is on BB ... A bunny in the know!
After this photograph was taken Yuki chan decided to make my cushions hers
and gave them a little shower
Edit: found a better example of pronounciation! Just wrote it like "Båsse" and it sounds correct in Norwegian
LOL that's how I caught this one!!
I's got me some nom noms.
Hehe. So here are some photos of Skipper playing in the blankie tent I make with my legs while sitting on the floor with her. So please excuse the legs in the picture that are clad in Lucky Charms pjs. =p
I disapprove of your intrusion on my secret blankie lair.
Begone with you Hoomin so I can return to my plotting.
You will not go? Well we shall see about that.
LOL, yes looks like smiling as eating ... love it, so cute...
There are so many bunnies on here that I would love to Bunnynap and bring home.
Skipper's Mama, this is in no way US bashing, but what I found funny was when Sarah Palin was running in the last elections, a Japanese TV crew when to Alaska to chat to people about Sarah Palin, they then asked people to point to Japan on the map, 80% pointed to countries in SE Asia, like Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, 2 people pointed to China, 2 people pointed to New Zealand, 1 pointed to England … only 8 out of 100 knew where Japan was on the map.
Yuki chan after biting my Laser Mouse, she is learning to take flight as soon as she knows she is in trouble.
For my Halloween?
Hey I am sleeping here
Hoomin paparazzi again?
Trying once again to get to the TV cabinet. My tunnel is almost complete
Skipper's Mama, It is not just the US that treats its service personal like ★★★★ I spent 7 years in the Australia Army and when I left I could not get a job to save my life, everyone looked at me as a killer and nothing more.. I ended up leaving Australia and moved to Taiwan to find work and started using my skill and became a international close protection agent.
The Aussie guys returning back from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts are getting the same treatment I did over 20 years ago.
In the UK Muslims immigrants are given a £2million luxury 'council' home and over £100,000 a year in benefits, yet the guys returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are living in hostels or on the streets.
Somali family on benefits handed keys to £2million luxury 'council' home Story HERE YET ... A British Royal Marine that lost his leg got told he is NOT disabled enough to get a pension .. Read the story HERE
There is something really WRONG, when the guys that defend a country are kicked in the guts, while Islamics that call for the beheading of the countries citizens are handed £2million luxury homes.
Sorry really off topic ...
Yes PRETZ ... new Halloween Tomato ... I have set my Digicam to continuous shots so when she is doing the bunny 500 I can get clear shots ... I just sort though the good ones and delete the rest ... but I am using a Canon Powershot SX150 and sad to say it is the worst Canon I have ever owned. next week going out to buy a new Nikon.

JEDDAH — The shortage of domestic workers that has intensified throughout the Kingdom in the past six months is expected to end soon as viable solutions have been found to resolve the crisis, according to sources in the recruitment business.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has agreed to license recruitment companies that will provide work visas to foreigners and find jobs for them in the households of Saudis and expatriate residents in various parts of the country. The Ministry of Labor is expected to give its final approval for the companies to start their operations within a few weeks.
Once the recruitment companies become operational, prospective employers can hire domestic workers directly from them without the need of intermediaries. The companies will make available enough number of workers who live in the Kingdom legally.
According to businessman Nasser Abusarhad, who heads the founding committee of the newly formed International Recruitment Company, the companies will be solely responsible for the entire recruitment process. They will obtain entry visas and work permits for the workers and will also bear the cost of placement, including recruitment fees and travel expenses.
The companies must cover the workers' medical costs whenever necessary and will be responsible for providing the families with replacements if a worker flees the workplace or is found unfit for work. In return, the recruitment company holds the right to retain the workers' passports. Under the current system, the employer keeps the workers' passports. The companies must provide decent accommodations to the workers for the interim period between their arrival in the Kingdom and finding employment.
Abusarhad says there are several advantages to obtaining a domestic worker through the new arrangement compared to the old system of recruiting, sponsoring and hosting a domestic worker from abroad.
One positive aspect is the shorter waiting period. Instead of waiting for two to three months for the arrival of domestic help from abroad after obtaining the visa, Saudis will now be able to hire help in half an hour by just visiting a recruitment company's local office.
The employer is spared the complicated process of recruitment that starts with applying for work visas as well as the exorbitant costs. Under the new system, an employer is required to pay his domestic workers a monthly wage of between SR1,300 and SR1,800. He must also guarantee payment of the wages on time and fair treatment of the workers. The wage varies depending on sex, nationality, experience and training of the domestic worker. The news comes as a great relief to many expatriate families in the Kingdom.
"Since we are not Saudi, we have been unable to obtain a work visa for a domestic helper. I have been depending on housemaids who live illegally in the country. These workers know that expatriates are desperate to find domestic help so they take advantage of us by demanding unreasonably high salaries," said Oula, a mother of four who works as a school teacher. "The last housemaid I interviewed demanded a salary of SR2,000 and she gave me a list of chores that she is unwilling to perform, such as cooking, pressing clothes and babysitting," she added.
Oula expressed the hope that the new recruitment companies would ease many of the difficulties they have had in the past in finding reliable domestic help.
"The establishment of recruitment companies aims to regulate the process of the entry of foreign domestic workers into the Kingdom.
The move will also encourage a healthy competition among recruitment companies that will ensure the availability of well-qualified and properly trained domestic workers," Mufarrij Al-Haqbani, Deputy Minister of Labor for Planning and Development, told Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper.
The new system will also protect the rights of the domestic worker while it clearly states his or her responsibilities and duties towards the employer, he added.
At the same time, the current system of sponsorship by individuals or host families will continue to remain as an option for hiring domestic workers in the Kingdom, Al-Haqbani said. — SG

In Granada Hills, California, a teacher at Hillcrest Christian School has been arrested for having sex several times with a high school student and police said he might have abused other students of the private campus. Acting on a tip from a parent, police arrested Mark Stephen Hubbard, who is also the athletic director at the Granada Hills K-12 school, for sex crimes against an underage female student.
"It's been going on since the start of this year," Los Angeles police Detective Michael Brox said during a news conference at Devonshire Division. "There were multiple sex acts and sexual contact. "There is a chance ... that there may be other (victims)." Hubbard, who is free after posting $100,000 bail, could not be reached for comment.
Hubbard was arrested after a parent notified authorities of an ongoing sexual relationship between the girl and the teacher, police said. While police declined to give the victim's age, Hillcrest secondary school students range from 14 to 17. He was booked for "multiple sex crime charges" with a minor, according to police.
"It is with great sadness that we recently learned of the situation involving one of our staff members and the secondary school student," said Hillcrest Secondary Principal Lance Haliday, reading a pre-prepared statement to the press.
"The school acted swiftly in responding, and would like to assure our school (family) and the community that no student is at risk. The safety and well-being of our students is, and will remain, our No. 1 priority."
Hubbard had worked at Hillcrest Christian School for eight years, serving as its K-12 athletic director, secondary school health teacher and assistant coach for the boys basketball and baseball teams. Hillcrest Christian School, founded in 1976, is a spin-off of Hillcrest Christian Church, with an emphasis throughout its curricula on the Bible, according to its website. Tuition for high school students runs about $7,000 a year. By late afternoon, all references to Hubbard were being removed from the Hillcrest Christian website.
If you have been charged or under investigation for a sex crime with a minor in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley or Ventura County, you need to consult an experienced sex crime criminal lawyer.

A report from our Berlin correspondent on design in culture.
There's a new gallery opening, and the art crowd is spilling out onto the street. It's a familiar enough sight in a hip neighborhood. But when I poke my nose into Dailybread, the latest art gallery to open on my street in Berlin, I see bicycles, not art. Actually, they're bikes as art. Read more…

Fin Sushi Bar is now open in Ravenswood
For most of this winter, the corner of Wilson and Hermitage Avenues has been the site of a sad, unoccupied restaurant space. But seemingly overnight, all that has changed: Fin Sushi Bar, a narrow little restaurant serving Japanese and Thai food, opened March 1.
Fin is owned by Tai Thongthomya, whose family owns dib, a sushi/Thai place on Lawrence. Like dib, Fin's got a sleek, mod look; a menu that boasts creative maki rolls (a honey-walnut roll with shrimp tempura and avocado; a roll stuffed with spinach and roasted duck) and other creative bites (bacon wontons; bacon fried rice); and, perhaps most important, a policy to forever be BYOB.
Fin Sushi Bar, 1742 W Wilson Ave, 773-961-7452.

The supermodel was spotted braving the rain in the West Village today with some friends.
Seriously, people, is this even humanly possible? How did she not gain weight anywhere else on her body? Some girls have all the luck.

she looks pretty even in pregnancy.I am surprised why celebrities looks always attractive in any form.
She is increadible. She's fit as always. I admire her. Even pregnant Gisele Bundchen looks her best.
The answer to your question is that she probably DIDN'T EAT enought. I mean, this kind of girls prefers to mantain her figure to raise a healthy son. That's why she only has bump and she will have a cesarean to not increase her gips...This baby will be very little but it doesn't matter (does it really?)
Wow, Gisele looks beautiful -- but she needs to get some pregnancy fashion advice from Sarah Palin. A scarf might hide that 7 month belly (COUGH COUGH!)
Where did her perky breasts go? Usually natural breasts become bigger when a woman is pregnant. Here she seems flat as an iron board.
What's with the young set in NYC/Hollywood set? Don't their mamas take them maternity clothes shopping when they get pregnant. Empire cut tops and dresses are trendy. What's the prob?
She looks great! She's all baby.
this baby will be cute

First thing I'd like to say is THANK YOU to all the streamers out there. You certainly deserve all the thanks I could give. When I am able to contribute to streams (meaning being able to afford cable!), I will certainly do so.
Recently, there haven't been too many Giants games being streamed. And I understand, being here on the west coast, that the MLB day is over for many of you.
Does anyone have any suggestions of other sites I could visit to find SF Giants games?
I'm usually so well serve here that I haven't hunted to much further. But when I do search, I'm not coming up with much.
Any suggestions? Or any east coast streamers that could set up the Giants stream before nodding off?
Thanks in advance..

Sir Humphrey Davy announced in 1808 that he had isolated a new element, magnesium, from the hitherto unknown magnesium oxide, which he discovered. Antoine Bussy is credited for the discovery of this metal and isolated larger and purer amounts in 1828. Magnesium is also used in galvanic anode to prevent corrosion in pipelines, storage tanks, the hulls of ships, home water heaters, and oil tanks. Also, it is used as a source of light in some flashbulbs, fireworks, and pyrotechnics; when divided, magnesium burns in the air with an intense white light. It is used in incendiary bombs, the production of titanium -and zirconium, catalyst in some organic chemical reactions, the manufacture of copper and nickel alloys, and magnesium alloys are used as structural materials for the fuselages of airplanes, guided missiles, electronic equipment, portable tools, baseball catchers masks, snowshoes, skis, boats, horseshoes, luggage, ladders, and racing cars. Magnesium is also made into a fine wire that burns so bright, that it is used in some photographic flashes. This element is also used in fireworks to produce brilliant white. Magnesium is produced and divided in two separate ways. 20% of the magnesium that is produced in the world is extracted from roasted dolomite by thermal reduction. The other 80% is extracted from seawater by the electrolytic method. The biological significance of magnesium is very interesting. An average adult contains25 grams of this element. It does many different things in the body, and it is found in many different foods, such as: meats, cereals, vegetables, and milk. An average adult ingests 300 milligrams of magnesium each day. Also, kidneys regulate the amount of magnesium in the body; overdoses of this element may result from failure of the kidneys, hormonal disruption, or use of too much magnesium as a drug. Magnesium is also found in many different compounds. Magnesium carbonate is used as a filler for paper, in cosmetics, fire-resistant and insulating materials, and for clarifying drinking water. Magnesium sulfate is marketed as Epsom salts, which are used as laxatives. It is also used in medicine to treat arthritis and to treat burns. This element is also used for the tanning of leather, the dyeing of textiles, ceramics, explosives, and the manufacturing of matches. Also, milk of magnesia is used as an antacid and as a laxative. Magnesium is a very interesting element. The technical data is very impressive. It is very neat to know the many properties of magnesium and to know how it reacts with different things. It s also cool to see all that magnesium is used for and how it can help us in our everyday life. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mangese color is usually grayish-white this means that it does have iron in it. But Manganese is used as a depolarizer in ordinary dry cells. It is also used to decolorize glass that is colored green. This glass is colored green because of impurities of iron found in the glass. Manganese by itself colors the glass. The dioxide is also used in the preparation of oxygen and chlorine. Manganese is widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom. It is an improtant trace element. Exposure to manganese dusts and fumes should not exceed the ceiling value of 5 mg/m3. Not even for short periods, the elements' toxicity level is to high. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Neon has many characteristics, both chemical and physical. Since Neon is a noble (inert) gas, it is chemically stable. It has two energy shells, with two electrons in the first energy shell and 8 in the last energy shell. When you are looking on the Periodic Table of Elements, you would find Neon in the last group and in the first period. It also has an atomic number of ten, and an atomic mass of 20.1797 amu. The boiling point is around 27.049994 Kelvin (-246.048 degrees Celsius), and a melting point near the 24.549994- Kelvin (-248.67 degrees Celsius) mark. The specific heat of Neon is 0.904 3/gk the heat of fusion is 0.3317 kl/mol, and the heat of vaporization is 1.7326 kl/mol. Physically, Neon is gaseous, colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Neon is the fourth most abundant in the universe and the fifth most abundant in the earth's atomosphere. Today, Neon is used mostly for advertising. Because of its unique and bright glow it makes when electricity passes through it, business owners like it because people can see it from far away because of the glow. Neon lights have been made in basically the same way for the last fifty years. Sticks of glass are heated and then bent into letters or shapes by glass benders. Glass benders have to follow a specific pattern given to them by the client. Neon signs are pretty expensive, but in the long run they are the most cost efficient lighting on the market today. Neon lights can last up to twenty years or maybe even more. Lights made with neon can be easily repaired if they ever break. Airports use neon lights because it has the ability to penetrate fog better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Oxygen is a Group 16 elemet. About 1/5th of the atmosphere is oxygen; the atmosphere contains about 15% oxygen. Oxygen Is the third most abundant element found In the sun and it helps the carbon-nitrogen cycle, one process responsible for stellar energy production. Oxygen in some states is the reason far the bright red and yellow-green colors of the aurora. About two thirds of the human body, and 9/10 of water is oxygen. Ozene (03) Is another allotrope of oxygen. It Is formed from electrical discharges or ultraviolet light acting on 02. Aerosols In the atmosphere have a detrimental effect on the ozone layer. Large holes in the ozone layer are forming over the polar regions and these are increasing in size. Paradoxicaliy, ozone is texici undiluted ozone Is bluish-black (and solid ozone is violet-black). The element oxygen's atomic number is 8, and it's atomic weight Is 16.00. All elements have neutrons, protons, and isotopes, and oxygen has 8 of each of them. The melting point of oxygen is -218A degrees celsius. Its boiling point Is -182.962 degrees celsius. The specific gravity of oxygen Is 114, and its symbol is "O". The crystal structure of oxygen is cubic. We use oxygen all the time. Some of its uses are breathing, oxygen respirators, rocket fuel, and ozone (03). Oxygen atoms are present in water (h2o) and water is essential to all life. Oxygen Is also, called "Chalcogen". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Phosphorus (symbol P) has an atomic number of fifteen and an atomic weight of 30.973761(2). It is in the fifteenth group and the third period in the periodic table. Its' group name is Pnictogen. Phosphorus is a solid at 298 K, and its' color is either red, silvery white or it is colorless. Phosphorus can be found in nervous tissue, bones and cell protoplasm. There are two different modifications of the element. It can either be a white, waxy solid or colorless and transparent (when in its pure form). Phosphorus is soluble in carbon disulphide but insoluble in water. It is very easy to catch on fire, and when heated it is changed to the red form. There are many uses for phosphorus. First of all it is used in the making of safety matches, incendiary shells, smoke bombs and tracer bullets. It can also be very useful to farmers. It is put in fertilizers and pesticides. Some of phosphorus is used in the production of special glass used for sodium lamps. Calcium phosphate can be used to make chinaware. It is also a vital statistic tot he making of steel, bronze, and other products. When mixed with sodium it can be used as a cleaner, water softener, or a good way of preventing corrosion in pipes and boiler tubes. From matches to bombs, fertilizers to chinaware, Phosphorus is a very useful element in the environment around us. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Platinum ore tends to contain more actual platinum in it than most other ores. Platinum ore is often found near the surface where much weathering can take place. The high density of platinum and its resistance to corrosion have led to its collection along riverbeds. In many places, gold is located with the platinum but the original sources differ. Platinum is very valuable and expensive. Its net value is said to be up to three times that of gold. Platinum mines in Choco were the leaders in the in the world from the metal's discovery util new bigger ones were found in the Urals and Russia. These mines dominated the rest in production from 1825 to about 1914. Platinum has been found as an arsenide, in sperrylite, and in Canadian nickel, copper, iron, and sulfide deposits. Platinum also has a wide variety of everyday uses. Platinum is very popular in jewelry, often used in wedding bands and rings instead of gold. It is also ductile and is strung out into wires for use in electronics. It is sometimes used to make fancy ice buckets and other things that might be used at a party or formal meeting. Also because it conducts electricity so well, it was used as spark in World War II aircraft. Platinum is a fairly old but not over used resource. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Potassium is essental to the bodys maintance and growth. A Potassium deficiency can be caused by vomiting and/or diarrhea, medications, and persperations. Some signs of potasium fefficiancy are: muscle weakness, mental confusion, fatiage, heart disturbance, irrability, and muscle cramps. Potassium's functions include acid base balance, if there is imbalance, the heart may beat irregularly. Both potasium and soudium are activily transported in and out of the cells body. They are both very water soluble and tend to disolve easily in cooking water. Foods that are cooked in this fashion are often much lower in nutrional value. There are several foods that contain potassium. Some of them are bananas and grapefruit. From its beginning in 1807, until today, it has been used for many things. It is needed in the health of plants and humans alike. It is also found in friuts and vegstables. The soft metal Potassium has many physical and chimical properties, some that i sshared with other elements, some that it holds all its own. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The history of silicon dates back 178 years and resides in Sweden, but that does not mean that the rest of the world contains less opportunity for knowledge of silicon. It is everywhere. Its physical appearance can be changed by just adding or removing a chemical or substance. The uses of silicon are many and still growing in number. Scientists will continue to gain information about this element and others. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

About 4,000,000 tons of sulfur are recovered in the United States each year from natural gas, petroleum refinery gases, pyrites, and smelter gases from the processing of copper, zinc, and lead ores. Monoclinic sulfur is obtained when liquid sulfur is cooled slowly. It consists of long, needlelike crystals. It is stable between 96 degrees celcius and 119 degrees celcius. At room temperature, it changes slowly to the rhombic form. When hot molten sulfur is cooled, suddenly, it forms a soft, sticky, elastic, noncrystalline mass called amorphous, or plastic sulfur. Although the rhombic and monoclinic forms are highly soluble in carbon disulfide, amorphous sulfur is not. Hydrogen sulfide is produced naturally be the decay of organic substances containing sulfur and is often present in vapours from volcanoes and mineral sulfide are obtained in the removal of sulfur from petroleum. Sulfur forms a wide variety of compounds with halogen elements. In combination with chlorine, it yields sulfur chlorides such as disulfur dichloride with fluorine, sulfur fluorides, the most useful of which is sulfur hexaf luoride. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Among metals it has the highest melting point, the highest tensile strength at temperatures of more than 1,6500 C (310020 F), and the lowest coefficient of linear thermal expansion (4.43 10-6 per OC at 200 C). Tungsten is ordinarily brittle at room temperature. Pure tungsten can, however, be made ductile by mechanical working at high temperatures and can then be drawn into very fine wire. Tungsten was first commercially employed as a lamp filament material and thereafter used in many electrical and electronic applications. It is used in the form of for very hard and tough dies, tools, gauges, and bits. Much tungsten goes into the production of tungsten steels, and some has been used in the aerospace industry to fabricate rocket-engine nozzle throats and leading-edge reentry surfaces. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Zinc is used in making alloys, and a trumpet is a form of an alloy. A trumpet is made of brass, which is made of 20% zinc and 45% copper. Brass is also a good conductor of electricity. Substitutes are sometimes preferred because of the price of copper. Even though substitutes are required, they still contain zinc. A large portion of zinc is used in the galvanization of steel and other metals. The process known as galvanization of metals requires the dipping of the metal into zinc for a short period of time. This process covers every exposed piece of metal. Zinc metal is also used in dry batteries, roof coating, and to protect iron buildings from corrosion. Zinc is also used in lightweight coins such as for Canada and the United States. The physical appearance of zinc includes that its density is 7140/kg m3. The volume of zinc is 9.16/cm3, the electrical resistively is 5.9, the melting point of zinc is 692.68/K, and the boiling point is 1180/K. Zinc also has an electronic state, which is a ground state neutral gaseous atom. The atom of an electronic atom has a zinc configuration of a zinc compound, but is not the same. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is found in abundance is S-type stars, and has been found in the sun and meteorites. An analysis of lunar rock stuff obtained by moon mission found a high amount of zirconium oxide, compared to earth rocks, Natural zirconium contains S isotopes. There are a whole lot of uses for zirconium. Zircoloy(R) is an important alloy made solely for nuclear applications Zirconium is exceptionally resistant to corrosion by many common acids and alkalis. When alloyed with zinc, zirconium becomes magnetic at temperture below 35K. It is used extensively bny the chemical industry where corrosive agents are employed. It is used in poison ivy lotions in the form of the carbonate as it combines with urishiol. It is malleable, ductile, silver gray metal that is extremely resistant to heat.

drum and bass in the usa
Life on the road of SE Asia has been incredible, but there are things I do miss about the United States of Usah. Music, and more specifically live music, being one of the things I miss most. It's possible to go out and find somewhat similar music here, but there is absolutely no matching the atmosphere of shows in the US. I haven't been to Europe or Israel (I heard kids in Tel Aviv party like there's no tomorrow), but I would put my money that the live music scene in America is pretty far out there. One of the most advanced countries in the world, riding the wave of downfall the past decade or so. People seek to forget about responsibility, negativity and just let go. I came across this incredible mix that I closed my eyes to and instantly transported back to those late night lazer lights of the frenzy-fueled clubs and music halls of the states. Can't wait to get back there just for nights like these. Enjoy the mix
Eye of the Shaman
Inspired from our road trip across the states and deep into the southwest.
Matthew Shlian :: Apophenia
When staring at a new piece of artwork, I always wonder if the artist had a super clear vision or mental rendering of what the final piece would look like before they starting on it. The thing I found most interesting about paper artist and engineer Matthew Shlian is that his art derives solely upon curiosity.
"Alot of times i'll have an idea for a piece, but I can't see what it will look like finished. And that's important. If I can see what it looks like in it's final stage, then I really don't want to make it. Because then it would just be like filling out a form."
Shlian's newest series to be released to the Ghostly Store, is presented in four distinct moments– like snapshots in the process of pattern creation.
"There is a term called apophenia, which means seeing patterns where none exist. I think I may have it. This series was made using patterns, but specifically patterns that are dissected and subsequently reconstructed–it is neither an aperiodic nor an asymmetrical tile. It is not completely chaotic–there are moments where the underlying structure is visible–but overall the pattern would be non repeating in the whole, thus non fractal based." – Shlian
Shlian was kind enough to asnwer of few questions I sent over, giving some insight into his inspiration and life behind his incredible work.
NA :: Do any artist(s) in particular come to mind as being a recurring source of inspiration?
Shlian :: Brian Eno, Matthew Goulish and Goat Island, El-P, Daniel Libeskind, Dondi White, Christian Marclay, Ren Weschler, Buckminster Fuller, George Hrycun, Edward R. Tufte, Charles and Ray Eames, Marian Bantjes, Thea Augustina Eck.
NA :: Do you remember what made you become so drawn towards working with paper?
Shlian :: Paper is not an intimidating medium, it is not precious and there is an immediacy to it. You just take a sheet and begin folding or cutting. I've always had an affinity for geometry and using paper pushed me to think dimensionally in new ways.
NA :: Can you provide any insight as to what type of paper you usually work with?
Shlian :: I use a lot of different papers in my work depending on the project. I have been using an acid free archival paper from Neenah paper called Fox River Coronado. I use 100# text and 10pt cover weights. I use a lot of Tyvek in my work as well. You can get it in various weights and it is super durable.
NA :: Is there one project in particular that sticks out among the others? Which one are you most proud of?
Shlian :: I am working with a team of Scientists on a National Science Foundation Grant at the University of Michigan. We fold things on the micro and Nano scale. We are beginning to publish papers on our research and I'm beyond excited to share the things we've been building. There is so much potential for what we can do with folding.
NA :: What's the most inspiring thing you've seen recently?
Shlian :: I got to hold a meteorite a few days ago and that was pretty inspiring.
NA :: What other forms of art do you find yourself getting lost in?
Shlian :: I've been a drummer all my life- I grew up playing in bands. I can easily see the connection between sound and the visual arts. At the Ghostly Show at the ADC last year I was talking with Mike Cina, Andy Gilmore and Sougwen Chung and it turned out we all were involved in music besides doing visual art. Sougwen had Sepalcure, Mike Dj'ed and I think Andy played Banjo or mandolin or something. I suggested that we should start a band together and try to get ghostly to put out our album…Probably not going to happen.
Octo Octa :: I'm Trying
Had a blast with the film camera during SXSW this year. Here are some of my favorite shots from the weekend.
A Deep Listening Mixtape for Handsome Clothing
Photo via Kanoa Zimmerman
"Deep Listening is a philosophy and practice developed by Pauline Oliveros that distinguishes the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary selective nature of listening. The result of the practice cultivates appreciation of sounds on a heightened level, expanding the potential for connection and interaction with one's environment, technology and performance with others in music and related arts."
via http://deeplistening.org/site/content/about
"This mixtape is a collection of some of my favourite instrumental and ambient music that I've come across in the past few years. I usually reserve a lot of this stuff for periods when I'm feeling especially stressed and strung out. As I'm sure is the case with a lot of people who enjoy this kind of music, I always find that binging on ambient music helps me to relax and retreat into my own mind and process whatever thoughts that I have endlessly rattling around in my head. I also tried to sequence all these songs in way that would work best for the kind of music that it is and the kind of energy each song has as to not be completely boring. I hope you enjoy these recordings as much as I do and attach your own memories and meaning to each of them."
I rolled into this mix tape while streaming Foxes in Fiction's Soundcloud. I was sunk deep in about 7 minutes into it, and as soon as I heard the Balam Acab track at 33:00, I knew I had to share right away. The mix is so wonderfully healing. Enjoy.

Tame Impala :: Feels Like We Only Go
Backwards Video
I am blown away by this music video that Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling, a.k.a Becky & Joe, created for Tame Impala's track Feels Like We Only Go Backwards. The video is a compilation of over 1000 separate plasticine collages, all individually made by hand.
"We had the idea to create an abstract journey set during the split second when two people's eyes meet for the first time."
There is a really great interview over at YCN that provides some insight to the minds of these crazy creative geniuses. Here are a couple of questions from the interview:
YCN: Where did the idea come from?
Becky Sloan: We decided to create something psychedelic to compliment Tame Impala's music. We had the idea to create an abstract journey set during the split second when two people's eyes meet for the first time. As we wanted it to be set inside someone's head, we looked at a lot of MRI brain scans for inspiration, as well as looped animations by artists such as Al Jarnow.
YCN: What made you choose plasticine as a medium?
JP: We wanted to create something unique looking, and had never really worked with plasticine before. Our aim was to focus on using it in a new way, avoiding the obvious Wallace & Gromit approach. The good thing about plasticine is the fact you can smudge, mix and even melt it into certain shapes. This creates a very acid-y, psychedelic look without using loads of digital effects.
