Kamloops is known far and wide as a community that cares.
Our citizens never fail to step up when the call goes out for help. They volunteer in droves for worthwhile causes and events. They're always ready to pitch in when the need arises.
Whether it's hitting the streets for literacy, walking for a good cause, raising money and life's necessities for families in need or cooking up a turkey dinner for the less fortunate on Thanksgiving, there's no shortage of compassion in the Tournament Capital.
Lately, however, the community's generous spirit has taken flight to locations around the world, with grassroots efforts spreading cheer and hope in such far-flung places as Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Nicaragua and Guatemala to name a few.
Developing World Connections, a Kamloops-based non-profit that has opened its arms to the hungry and homeless halfway around the world, has captured the imagination and the hearts of hundreds of community volunteers over the years, all willing to spend their own money and time in an effort to make the world a better place.
It sowed the seeds of international volunteer activity here, giving rise to offshoot groups that have greatly expanded the city's reach into the developing world.
And our city's efforts have not gone without notice.
Most recently, Kamloops firefighters were honoured for their Operation Nicaragua campaign, which received a prestigious Global Co-operation Award from the British Columbia Council for International Co-operation.
Thanks to the efforts of the firefighters and the generosity of Kamloops residents and businesses, hundreds of Nicaraguans have clothes to wear, bicycles to ride and vital equipment that will enable them to respond to local emergencies in a way that we have come to take for granted in Canada.
Thanksgiving is an opportune time to ponder the achievements of various local groups and give thanks for what they do — and truly appreciate why they make the effort to help strangers in foreign lands.
Wayne McRann, who started Developing World Connections with a dream of giving something back to the global community, told The Daily News this week it's high time Kamloops volunteers stood up and took a bow.
"Kamloopsians need to be recognized for the work they do in the international community," he said.
We agree — and Thanksgiving is a great time to do it, to be thankful for the people who make Kamloops their home and represent our city so well around the world.

So we recorded this episode about a week and a half ago. There was one small bit of editing I needed to do, however, and other items, as you can see from our Contests page, got in the way. Now that's all out of the way, though, I've found the time to snip out the bit in question and get the podcast episode up! We go through our picks for the best and worst movies and video games of 2012. Of course, this does mean that we touch on our favorite punching bag, Mass Effect 3 (for good damn reason), so keep an ear out for that. Read the full story

Climbing gear maker DMM recalls camming device 01 Aug 2010
The Welsh company, DMM, is voluntarily recalling its Dragon Cam in size 6 (Product Code A7056A). According to the manufacturer, the "problem originates from a structural defect in a raw material that is uniquely used to make a single component on the size 6 Dragon." Dragon Cams are mechanically spring loaded devices that can be inserted into cracks in the rock face to provide points of attachment for climbers or to safeguard their progress up a climb by allowing them to clip the rope to it via a carabiner. Further details on the Dragon Cam recall are available here. Information about all recalls can be found in the Risk Management section of the UIAA website. The Certified Equipment and Recalls page, added in late 2009, is a global one-stop-shopping point for climbers who wish to identify certified equipment as well as gear that has been recalled by the manufacturer. "For climbers who want to know whether their equipment is up to snuff, access to the recalls page is one small part in making sure that their equipment remains suitable for climbing," explained David Custer of the UIAA Safety Commission at the launch of the online database. "Before the UIAA recalls page existed, a climber would have to keep tabs on manufacturers, country specific recall sites, climbing websites, and climbing magazines. The time and the language ability required to find and verify recall information is now greatly reduced: at a glance, it is possible to view the global recall situation," Custer added. The UIAA Risk Management page also includes comprehensive information on standards for Safety Label holders or potential holders as well as a list of articles providing advice on equipment and climbing safely. |

Libya freed the staffers Monday after the court's president flew to the country to oversee their release and apologized for the incident.
The four have not spoken to media since flying into Rotterdam in the early hours of Tuesday, and the court says it will now investigate Libya's claims that they showed documents to Seif al-Islam Gadhafi that could harm Libya's national security.
"The four of our colleagues are in good physical shape and in good spirits as well," said court spokesman Fadi El Abdallah. "They were very happy to be reunited with their families."
Libyan officials have handed details of their investigation to the court, but ICC officials in The Hague say they need to conduct their own probe.
The court spokesman declined to give details of the allegations to be investigated, but said that the detention of the four staff could have been the result of a misunderstanding.
"What can be accepted under international law might be not allowed under national law so there was maybe some misunderstandings or conflict of what has to be applied during the privileged meeting by the ICC (and) a suspect of the ICC," El Abdallah said.
Mark Ellis, Executive Director of lawyers' organization the International Bar Association, criticized Libya for holding the four court officials.
"Detaining ICC staff members on an official visit was a violation of the privileges and immunities accorded to ICC staff members under international law," he said. "However, we commend both Libya and the ICC in their handling of such a delicate and unprecedented situation, resulting in the freeing of the ICC staff."
Seif al-Islam was the most senior member of the ousted Gadhafi regime to be captured in last year's civil war. Long viewed as a likely heir-apparent to his father, he faces ICC charges of crimes against humanity. He was captured by a militia in western Libya after his father was taken captive and then killed last October following more than 40 years as Libya's eccentric, authoritarian ruler.
Libya's new leadership accused Seif al-Islam of torturing and killing rebels, as well as other crimes.
His trial has been at the heart of a dispute between the ICC and the Libyan government. Libyan authorities have challenged the ICC's right to try Seif al-Islam, saying the international court is a tribunal of last resort, intended to try suspects from countries that cannot or will not prosecute them.
The court had expressed concern that Libya's judiciary is not yet ready to give Seif al-Islam a fair trial. ICC judges ruled on June 1 that Libya doesn't have to hand over Seif al-Islam at least until a ruling on Tripoli's challenge.

New rules, which took effect last week, for Social Security withdrawals now make a solid retirement plan even more pertinent. Without much fanfare, a little known Social Security rule allowing someone to collect at a lower rate, payback what they collected and then increase their payments at age 70 has ended.
The rule allowed for some flexibility in your decision as to when you would start taking Social Security benefits and was especially beneficial to retirees who decided to go back to work and wanted to stop taking benefits. In light of the recession over the past few years, a number of people also used this rule to help them bridge between forced early retirement and possibly finding a new job. It worked like this:
- You could start collecting Social Security at age 62. At this age, you would have collected a lower amount than you would have collected if you waited until full retirement age (FRA).
- At any age up to 70, you could then choose to pay back the full amount you received over the previous years.
- When you were ready to begin collecting again, you would then receive the amount you would be eligible for at that age — not the lower amount you may have started at age 62.
- For example: Start collecting at age 62 and receive $750 a month. At age 64, you decide you want to stop payments, so you payback all that you received for the previous two years. Then at age 66, you decide to start collecting again, so your new benefit would be $1,000 a month. (Figures according to www.ssa.gov.)
Although, many people did use the rule as it was originally intended, others basically saw it as an interest free loan from the government which they would fiscally benefit from. For instance, some individuals would take early benefits, invest the money, keep the interest earned on the money and then give back the initial amount.
On a large scale, the Social Security Administration feared this would only further the strain on the Social Security system. In response, they felt they needed to take action. According to the SSA.gov website, "this change is being made because recent media articles have promoted the use of the current policy as a means for retired beneficiaries to acquire an 'interest free loan.'" The "free loans" essentially cost the Social Security Trust Fund interest that would have been earned as a whole for the fund as well as in administrative costs to process the withdrawal applications.
Under the new rule, Social Security recipients can now withdraw their application for benefits only once within 12 months of receiving their first check, and this can only be done once in their lifetime. The changes to the rule will now require recipients to be even more diligent with their retirement planning and sure they know where they want to start drawing income first once they enter retirement.
Even though the rules are effective immediately, there is a 60 day public comment period. This period will allow the Social Security Administration to consider any relevant comments which could affect the final published rules.
Read the full statement released by the Social Security Administration.

On today's Rock it Out! Blog episode, I talk about Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe being accused of manslaughter. A 19-year-old fan died at a Lamb of God show in 2010 because he allegedly was pushed off the stage by Blythe and suffered injuries that led to his death. Blythe is currently in prison in the Czech Republic and, if sentenced, could serve up to years in jail. What are your thoughts? Do you think he's innocent? Is he guilty?

These bigger- wig plyg pigs often "receive" two full-blooded sisters for "marriage" at the very same "ceremony." Today's Rick Ross Institute website has the report on the Winston Blackmore tax trial going on in Canada. One of "Wink's" "brides from 1990 was on the stand yesterday. She was 19 and her sister 20 when they both "married" Wink same day in 1990. Marjorie Johnson her name is- she bore 10 children to Wink over the years while sharing/rotating him with several other women and also serving as a clerk in one of his businesses, and sharing housing with a few of his other concubines/baby machines. BTW, these reports on this tax thing keep saying Wink has at least 67 kids. I wish they would stop that. He "celebrated" the birth of his 134th or so a year ago I think. C'mon, now, all you law-abiding American dudes and gals!! Ain't this just really holy and righteous living, though? The men siring children with closely related gals, many of whom grew up in the same house, even while those gals are also slaving as your secretaries in your logging company somewhere in the boondocks. This could also be where the "occasional" underage gal (one testified she was 13) from the US chapter of this "sect" sometimes get sent to unlearn their rebellious little ways when they do not want to marry senior citizen sect leaders or their middle-aged sons.... REALLY, REALLY RIGHTEOUS FOLKS we are talking about, eh? Oh yes, I have heard of this same-day -sister- marriage-to-same-dude stuff many times now over 7 years of reading all I can find on this bunch of incestuous but oh-so-self-righteous, welfare-saavy "citizens." WHAT A GROUP! Why don't we all just jump into this "righteous and holy" mess of a lifestyle, people? I ask you?
You've said it about as well as it can be said. Thank you.

(AP) -- Michigan health officials say the number of state residents infected during a national outbreak of fungal meningitis has risen by nine to 197, with 13 deaths.
The Michigan Department of Community Health says that as of Friday, there have been 68 meningitis cases, 116 epidural abscesses, one stroke and 13 joint infections. The total of 197 infections is up from 188 in Wednesday's count.
The totals include three Michigan residents who died after contracting meningitis infections in Indiana.
The fungal meningitis outbreak is linked to contaminated steroids produced by a Massachusetts pharmacy used in injections for neck or back pain.

- I'd rather trade, but if you're trying to sell me something, include the total shipping price (with tracking and all of that good stuff) in your offer. If you don't, I reserve the right to deny the deal if you try to tack the shipping cost on right before I'm about to send you payment.
- Not Looking to sell anything right now unless it's an insane price...so probably no point in trying.
- I would love to check your lists! I never know what will pique my interests!
- I'm pretty flexible in many respects when it comes to trading, just talk to me and we can probably figure something out!

AMD can have the fastest, smoother card etc. Xfire fixed and software fully optimized with the best Game bundles with a 4 month lead and it still won`t sell more chips than Nvidia. AMD do not have a loyal customer/fan base as Nvidia (Just look at sales of 77/78 vs 650/660). AMD had a massive lead in lower/mid end for 6 months and still didn't sell as well as when nvidia released; meaning people waited 6 months for nvidia lower/mid cards that were slower, more expensive and used more power with no games over something AMD had from day one (Thats insane loyalty). The AMD customers/fans will switch to nvidia with a drop off a hat if Nvidia is better, whereas Nvidia customers/fans will not even if nvidia is worse (Performance/price doesn't matter to them). AMD`s biggest enemy is AMD itself = Marketing and people in charge of GPU Reviews
Eagleye, I 100% agree. To add to your comment, it also applies with the CPU market of AMD. AMD can have the fast CPU on the market and customers will still opt for a slower and more expensive Intel solution. The history show us that even when the lower end Sempron & Duron Socket A and Socket 754 was outperforming the "high end" Pentium 4 Northwood, back when the Athlon XP was topdog, and when the Athlon 64 and Athlon FX was outperforming the Pentium 4 Prescott & Cedar Mill, and when the Athlon X2 was outperforming the Pentium D...customers were still loyal to Intel. In my experience the non enthusiasts (largest in the CPU market) assume Intel means quality, regardless of benchmarks or market changes. This correlates to the GPU market too, non enthusiasts will always assume Nvidia means quality. Only gradual change and money dumped into marketing will change customer perception of ATI/AMD.
Then people wonder why there only 100-200 registered members and 5-7k visitors/guest. With a active user base like this crowd who would bother signing up I'm sure visitors/guest read comments and say, "Bah, more Headline posters in this forum, Next" (Click to there next source) AMD op base is at $700m. Aslong at it keeps op above that so no need to panic. Revenue Q1-2013 $1,088 (above $700mil) Gross Margin Q1-2013 41% (Q4-2012 15% / Q1-2012 2%) Op loss Q1-2013 98m (Q4-2012 422m / Q1-2012 580m) Unless a pre-schooler can beat you at adding and subtracting the numbers are headed in the right direction. The new management is doing its job.
I was busy and in work so here is a more intelligent response. Take your driver issues to a driver based thread fella ,as it's getting boreing reading similar responses to every amd titled thread. I didn't single anyone out though as a troll but I am seriously pondering the possibility we have hired trolls in this forum .for clarity Imho you are not one . Human smokes a possibility though After two more read through's im putting most of my posts in this thread down to a terrible day at work sos guys..
Well, if you think about it, it doesn't have an impact. You have to buy an AMD gpu, pay your money to the retailer, who has paid it to AMD; in effect pay AMD. Then wait until you have a "bad" experience with a driver. (Notice the quotations, they change the meaning of the sentence.) From what I've seen, with AMD drivers over the last 2 years, there has not been any problem. Whether or not someone's favorite game is properly supported, at launch, is not a problem with the driver 'technology', it's a problem that's tied to relationships between game developers and AMD (and Nvidia, because they have the same problem as well). It's a people problem that's common to both major GPU companies, not a tech problem. An uncommon configuration that's not properly supported immediately for your time wasting satisfaction is also not a problem with the driver technology, it's another people problem. A people problem tied to the aforementioned communication with game developers common to both AMD and Nvidia. AMD's per unit profit margin is smaller than Nvidia's, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that they haven't spent as much on driver development... it costs millions a year to hire a large group of driver developers. If it takes them longer to make an update, that's why, but then that is also a people problem, not a driver technology problem... because the drivers do eventually get updated. Nothing at all to do with technology, everything to do with face to face, person to person, communication, and differing business strategies.
+1. This is EXACTLY why I am pretty vocal about issues for AMD...because, really, they are easy to fix. However, I do know that there are standing open offers to developers that want to work for AMD. Whether or not the pay is commensurate wit the expectations of those positions is another thing, but fundamentally, I think that AMD has some talented hardware engineers, clearly, or I'd not really be spending so much on their products. I'm pretty quick to bash AMD, but you won't find a single Nvidia product in my house. Be that as it may, several people have posted recently concerned that my opinion about said drivers and how I vocalize it, so while the drivers, in your perspective, may not have an impact on their bottom line, for me, it does, since stores are less likely to fill their selves with AMD products in something like drivers is an issue. And so, local stores don't stock AMD high-end GPUs in any sort of quantity, and are not ordering more unless requested to do so directly by a customer. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Search/Products?Search=7970 That's one of the largest retailers here in Canada, serving half the physical country with parts in retail stores, with a whopping total of 14 units of 7970 GPUs in stock, from only one brand, and maybe 30 units of 7950's, from a mix of brands. If stores don't order cards, IHVs don't order chips, and AMD gets less sales. You are right, it doesn't affect AMD right this second, but it does affect them on a quarterly basis, when orders are placed at your favorite trade shows. That's what trade shows are for...so IHV's can show their stuff to purchasers from retailers. June is coming, which means Computex is coming, and more orders for more parts...and without working Crossfire drivers, it makes it hard to stores to sell multiple cards, and turn a profit. Which means they are likely to buy less units this time around. Drivers DO matter, but you do raise another important aspect of the big puzzle that is any business in the industry right now. As far as I am concerned, the entire lack of sales recently is entirely do to "people issues". 10000%.
Whilst I understand your viewpoint on this and your argument is soundly put dave, I think it worth mentioning . I just recently thought of all the times pc hardware FAILED me, my expectations or plain caused me grief and each time id have happily shouted my rage across the rooftops and stood firm against any praise for the part in question. When things work I seldom care to praise anyone as I too, expect things to work right and as advertised. People should consider rephrasing their words perhaps as for every upset person there are many happy quite ones. Imho regardless of which brand , there is too much, and to venomous bashing going on
Quite so... Yup. What gave it away? Me accusing AMD of "developing excellent hardware", or the fact that I penned a brief History of AMD for TechSpot ?
Yup, BSN - Apple's Graphics CTO Raja Koduri Leaves the Company, Goes back to AMD AMD is clearly restructioning Financially and Personel wise. 1-2yrs we will see what kind of impact these personel moves make.
In addition, the stars seem to be aligning for AMD once again: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6907/the-king-is-back-raja-koduri-leaves-apple-returns-to-amd AMD has arguably the best CPU engineer in the world in charge of their CPU division (Jim Keller as of August 2012) and now, as of today, one of the very top GPU engineers in the world in charge of their 'Visual Computing' division, Raja Koduri. These guys would not have come back to AMD (they're both former AMD employees) if they didn't see something positive in Rory Read's plan for the company going forward. This is an extremely good sign.
I hope they drop some kinda uber-powerful bomb of a chip later this year erm..not holding my breth, though.
My last CPU before the 920 was a 3700+...IMNSHO, the best single core ever made for the consumer market. Was there a better AMD CPU than the first generation of i7s? Before my 7970, I had a GTX 580. Brand loyalty destroys the drive to innovate and compete. If brand X's product is better than brand Y at the time of purchase, go for it! If you only ever buy brand X because "everyone knows that X is the shizznet, and Y sucks donkey [expletive deleted]," then you're dumber than a box of hammers, and you're telling brand X that glossy stickers are an acceptable substitute for R&D in the future. If nothing else, we consumers should blow off a percentage point or two and occasionally buy the best product the second best vendor offers, just to keep the bastards on their toes. Unless you believe that the market research people aren't paying attention when you buy seven Intel/AMD CPUs and five Nvidia/ATI cards in a row?
intel has bettermarketing + fanboys + many low level system builders dont even know about AMD and their products like APUs.
A hardware video encoder, much faster and more featureful than the old AMD APP encoder. It's actually worth using to encode H.264, unlike CUDA or Quicksync where you're stuck using weak profiles, low/no ref or B frames, no CABAC and so on.

Maruti not to abandon Manesar plant, says Bhargava
Posted on: 22 Jul 2012
New Delhi: Passenger car major Maruti Suzuki declared an indefinite lockout at its Manesar (Haryana) plant but denied any plans to shift after Wednesday's violent clashes that left a senior executive dead and scores injured.
'This thought of us moving out of here is complete fiction. There are no such plans and neither were there any such plans to shift out of Manesar,' said R.C. Bhargava, chairman, Maruti Suzuki.
Bhargava was speaking to media persons three days after violent clashes and arson at the Manesar plant. Workers are alleged to have beaten up top executives and set the factory on fire.
The fire claimed the life of a senior executive and injured nearly two dozen management and supervisory staff members, according to police.
The same plant earlier faced labour trouble in September-October 2011, when the company suffered nearly Rs.2,500 crore in production losses. The strike at the time ended in the first week of November when union leaders resigned after reportedly accepting hefty payouts.
Bhargava's clarification comes as Maruti Suzuki's plans for a new plant in Gujarat were being linked to frequent labour unrest in Haryana. In fact, the company plans to shift its manufacturing in phases from the cramped Gurgaon area to the Manesar plant.
According to Bhargava, the Gurgaon plant will eventually be used for manufacturing engines and other components.
Shinzo Nakanishi, managing director and chief executive of Maruti Suzuki explained that the plan for a new factory in Mehsana, Gujarat, is an expansion activity, and is not meant to shift the Manesar facility.
'There is a difference between expansion and shifting. (Gujarat) plans are for expansion,' Nakanishi said.
Meanwhile, the company said that it would not resume production work till the causes of Wednesday's violence are fully investigated and identified.
'There is an indefinite lockout at the Manesar plant. We will not risk the life or health of any of our employees, including workers, until we can identify the root cause of Wednesday's incident and take corrective action,' Bhargava declared.
The Haryana government has constituted a police Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe Wednesday's incident. The police have arrested 99 workers on charges like murder, attempt to murder and several other offences.
'We are not in a position to start production at the factory. Safety of colleagues is more important than making some cars, making some money,' Bhargava said.
The lockout is expected to hit company's plans to roll out 1.5 million units in the current fiscal. The auto major had planned to reach the production milestone in the last fiscal.
Maruti Suzuki produced 1.13 million cars last fiscal, which was 11 per cent lower over 1.27 million units produced in 2010-11.
The Manesar plant manufactures some 1,200 cars per day on an average and has been specially designed for manufacturing diesel cars.
Frequent labour unrest of late has caused production loss and pushed back delivery dates of its best selling cars like the Swift, eroding consumer confidence.
However, Maruti Suzuki's flagship plant in Gurgaon, where the popular Alto and other wellknown hatchbacks are manufactured, is operating normally.
Bhargava said the management had settled all outstanding issues that were raised by the workers after the last strike nine months ago.
'The only outstanding issue of casual workers to be inducted as temporary or permanent workers will be resolved by March 2013,' Bhargava said.

The periodic table is a chart that shows the chemical elements and their relationship to each other. The periodic table is a graphic way of representing the periodic law.
History of the periodic law
By the middle of the nineteenth century, about 50 chemical elements were known. One of the questions chemists were asking about those elements was the following: Is every element entirely different from every other element? Or are some elements related to other elements in some way? Are there patterns among the elements?
A number of chemists suggested various patterns. German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1780849) observed in 1829, for example, that three of the...

For this question, you can use:
`dy= V_(iy) * t + 1/2at^2`
Now first we shall assign the values needed to solve for the time required.
`dy` = -4 (direction is down)
`V_iy` = 5m * sin (35) = 2.8679
`a ` = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81m/s^2 (direction is down)
`t ` = time = ?
By substitution, we can now have:
`-4 = 2.8679t - 4.9t^2`
Arranging the equation into standard form:
`4.9x^2 -2.8679x - 4 = 0`
To solve for the value of t, quadratic equation is used.
`x = (-b +-sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)`
The two values derived from this equation are -0.657 and 1.24. we will choose the positive time which is 1.24 seconds.

Science: What is the order of colors in a rainbow?
A rainbow is made by the reflection and refraction of light that interacts with raindrops. Depending on how this interaction occurs with your location relative to the sun and the raindrops you may see a primary and even a secondary rainbow.
The interaction that occurs to create the primary rainbow will produce a spectrum of colors in order Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo -Violet (ROY G BIV) with Red occuring on the outside edge of the rainbow to Violet occuring on the insdie edge (closest to the center) of the rainbow.
The extra reflection that occurs to produce the secondary rainbow causes the colors to reverse order. So on the secondary rainbow Red will occur on the inside edge followed by Orange,...
Geology is the study of the planet Earth: its composition, origin, and history, and the environmental, biological, chemical, and physical forces outside and within it. As a science, geology grew from the nineteenth century study of natural features, stratigraphy, and fossils in rock outcroppings to a wide variety of scientific subspecialties covering myriad aspects of the planet. Since the early nineteenth century, geology has involved accurate mapping of the Earth's topography and discovery, study, and exploitation of major mineral deposits around the world.
A guiding principle in geology has been uniformitarianism: geological processes that are observed today are the same as those that occurred in the past and those that...
Although it may be argued that all the sciences can trace their roots in some measure or other to religion inasmuch as religion dominated institutional scholarship well into the nineteenth century, sociology is unique in that its formal origin was actually cast in the context of a new putatively religious movement. The term sociology was coined by Auguste Comte in his Cours de philosophie positive (1830842); for Comte la sociologie was nothing less than the capstone of the new religion of positivism, replacing older theological or philosophical principles for social organization with those of science. Sociologists were to be nothing less than the "high priests" of this new moral...

Science: How can a fish survive in water with the oxygen in it only 4 percent of what...
Unlike mammals with lungs, fishes have gills as the respiratory organ. Gills are a series of membranes loaded with blood capillaries, located on each side of the head of the fish. As water passes over this system of extremely fine gill membranes, the contact area for oxygen exchange increases dramatically. Aided by a highly efficient water pumping system that involves the mouth and the outer cover of the gills, called the operculum, the fish gallops copious amount of water per unit time and this makes up for the low percentage of available oxygen. This way the fish can actually extract and absorb up to 85% of available oxygen out of the water. Since water contains only ~4% of the available oxygen that air at sea level does, such a...

Physics: What is the formula for pressure?
The formula for pressure is
In this equation, P stands for pressure while F stands for force and A stands for area. Pressure is typically measured in a unit called the Pascal.
So what this means is that the amount of pressure that is exerted on an area is determined by the size of that area and by the amount of force that is pressing against it.
Therefore, if you have a given amount of force, you will have more pressure if it presses down on a small area than if it presses down on a large area.

In many ways, new technologies are making it easier for us to fall victim to identity theft. This is particularly true because of the rise of internet commerce and the increasing use of credit and debit cards.
With the rise of internet commerce, more and more of our personal information is on the internet. We provide such information, for example, to our banks or to the colleges we attend. These institutions can be susceptible to being hacked. If this happens, our identities can be stolen. This would have been much harder in the days before the internet.
In addition, we have moved away from using things like cash and checks and are using credit and debit cards much more than ever before. These are more...
DNA Isolation Methods
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolation is an extraction process of DNA from various sources. Methods used to isolate DNA are dependent on the source, age, and size of the sample. Despite the wide variety of methods used, there are some similarities among them. In general, they aim to separate DNA present in the nucleus of the cell from other cellular components.
Isolation of DNA is needed for genetic analysis, which is used for scientific, medical, or forensic purposes. Scientists use DNA in a number of applications, such as introduction of DNA into cells and animals or plants, or for diagnostic purposes. In medicine the latter application is the most common. On the other hand,...
Chemistry: What are some examples of homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures?
A compound is a chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions. For example, two hydrogen molecules + one oxygen molecule= one water molecule. A solution is a physical combination of two or more chemicals mixed evenly (salt that is dissolved in water). Solutions are also known as homogenous mixtures. A mechanical mixture is a physical combination of two or more chemicals that are not evenly mixed (hot fudge on ice cream). Mechanical mixtures are also known as heterogenous mixtures.
Homogenous: milk, kool-aid, blood, lotion, window cleaner, glue, etc.
Heterogenous: pizza, cereal and milk, rocks in the sand at the beach, banana splits, etc.

This Is The Most Powerful Weapon of All
This is Curt Schilling's bloody sock from Game 2 of the 2004 World Series and it is the most powerful weapon in the universe…in Curt Schilling's video game world he is creating. We've all known for awhile that Schilling has been busy working with his company 38 studios (formerly Green Monster Games) on a new MMORPG that was supposed to be like the Everquest world that he loves so much and now it has a name, Copernicus, and the sock is apparently the biggest baddest weapon you can get in the game.
Not much else is known about this game, other than Todd McFarlane of Spawn and McFarlane Toys fame is the art director and sci-fi writer R. A. Salvatore is the creative director and it's due to be released sometime in 2010. Here's a video that goes into a bit more of Schilling's want to achieve "World Domination Through Gaming".
I dunno, sure it's neat that an ex athlete has a unique, albeit nerdy, career goal after sports…but would it not have been a lot cooler if the guy made a game that was about sports? Like any dork playing his fantasy game will have any idea what this sock is all about in the first place.

It's a popular word. I hear it everywhere I go, don't you? It's on the television, radio. Kids are saying it to each other on the playgrounds, parents are saying it to their kids. It's a word that we use a lot at my home & I love that it has such a strong & powerful meaning yet is still easy to grasp.
We all say it. We all hear it. But do we show it?
That's a tough question to ask, & a tough question to answer. Our lives are so busy that we may not be mindful enough to truly & deeply show how grateful we really are to the ones that deserve it so much.
So in light of that, I have a challenge for you. It's a 30 day challenge that, I believe, you really can't pass up.
It's a 30 day Gratitude Challenge!!!
It's easy, & fun. And best of all, it's a way to show how grateful you are to the ones that deserve it most!
Let's see how Grateful we can all be for the month of July. Let's see how many lives we can change. Let's see what kind of difference we can make in the world, just by showing how Grateful we are!

Rachel and Clint Kraynick from Canora Saskatchewan are turning a tragedy into a lasting memory for their son Chase. The Kraynick family has entered the Pay It Forward contest for the Aviva Community Fund in building a splash park in memory of their son Chase, who was tragically lost in a farming accident at the tender age of 6 in May 2011. Now, they need your help by putting in a vote for Chase on the Aviva Community Fund voting page.
The Canora community has come together to commemorate the life of this special little boy, the Town of Canora has donated the land and pledged to maintain the splash park indefinitely, various trades people have pledged to donate their time and expertise in making this project come to reality. Canora is a smaller community and will need the help of its surrounding communities to win this project for Chase. Chase made a difference to everyone's life he touched in his short years, now you can commemorate this little boys spirit of random acts of kindness by voting on this project through the website http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf13447.
The Aviva Community Fund is a way for Aviva to give back to the communities which they serve, citizens from around the country are asked to create a project and motivate their communities to vote.
Chase's Splash Park project is currently in first place in the entire country but in order to stay in first place they need to continue to get the most votes.
Chase was a vibrant young boy who loved to play and believed whole heartily in paying it forward. He greatly believed in random acts of kindness. Mrs. Kraynick remembers how "he was always a great help around the house and on the farm". Teachers loved him and class mates miss him, but they all know they are working together to bring a Splash Park to their community to continue Chase's legacy of paying it forward. The Splash park has been designed to symbolize the very interests Chase had such as dinosaurs, farming and other various animals.
Talk to your friends, family and neighbours everyone can vote! Chase's Splash Park is only a click away.

This hotel has nothing to show for. It's breakfast is poor, its restaurant staff disorganised and un cordial. Food @ buffet is bad and outrageously expensive. Wifi coverage inside the room is bad. Noise and pollution is constant on floor 2. Overall, a bad experience ... I will not book here again.

Exports Sensitive Countries : Australia and Canada iShares (EWA+EWC)
It started like in 1997 in the Asian Crisis but not for the same reasons. This time, the tapering fear in the US has already began to start a deleveraging of the system in terms of outflows in Emerging Markets (EM) either in equity or bonds. The cash squeeze in China is adding to an unstable situation and are forcing financial asset liquidation.
All assets have been under pressure since the FED on June 19. When was the last time we saw all asset classes trading down?
Political turmoil in Egypt,Turkey and Brazil are also adding to the process...
And don t forget, the big difference between now and in 1997 is that the level of debt in all sectors (businesses, consumers, governments)
are a lot higher; so the sensitivity to a rise of real interest rates will be felt with more pronounced. ( See charts below )
So for me, there is a serious possibility of a major correction for the SP500; 1450?
The level of Debt
As you may observe in the charts below, i put the scale at 100 on December 1997 on each data to be able to evaluate the change since then.It will be a lot easier to visualize the change and growth of debt because I did compare with the GDP to see the evolution...
