Aberdeen is unusual for a big-city university in having a lot of student accommodation within walking distance of its main teaching site. There is a choice of University-managed halls and privately-owned and managed halls, all situated within easy walking distance of the campus.
Information regarding applying for accommodation will be sent to all students who firmly accept an offer of a place. The University-managed accommodation houses approximately 3,000 students and all single, new students are guaranteed a place, as long as they apply by the stated deadline. If you are a late applicant, we will try to find a place for you, though we cannot guarantee that you will be allocated University accommodation. The University does not have family accommodation but we can provide a list of local Solicitors & Estate Agents who may be able to assist you in acquiring suitable accommodation. Alternatively, the Students Association advertises private accommodation and further information can be obtained at http://www.ausa.org.uk/.
The Halls of Residence are a mixture of individual rooms within houses or flats, available on a catered and self-catered basis. All University halls of residence have full wireless (WIFI) internet access.
Crombie-Johnston Halls, at the heart of the campus, accommodates approximately 400 first-year students in single study-bedrooms, on a catered/meals provided basis, with facilities for disabled.
Elphinstone Road flats are also on campus, only a few minutes walk from the Sir Duncan Rice Library. Elphinstone Road consists of 120 single study bedrooms, organised into flats for 3 – 7 residents with shared kitchen and other facilities per flat. This residence is usually reserved for postgraduate/mature students.
Hillhead Halls, a 20 minute walk from campus, is the student village on the bank of the River Don. All the accommodation at Hillhead is self-catering with a mixture of en-suite and standard rooms with facilities for disabled students. Student facilities include a shop, social space, bar, launderettes, floodlit all-weather tennis courts and a football pitch. A frequent bus service runs to the main campus and the city centre.
Similar to Elphinstone Road flats, North Court has a designated postgraduate block.
Up-to-date information on University accommodation, including costs, is available from the Student Accommodation Office.
The University's accommodation strategy continues to raise the quality of student accommodation to a standard which will seriously compete with accommodation at any other British institution. The first phase of the project comprised of a new four-storey development with 520 ensuite bedrooms and a refurbishment of 480 existing bedrooms with shared bathrooms. Now that this phase is complete, the University plans to refurbish the remaining accommodation throughout the Campus.
Students who do not want to stay in Halls of Residence can choose from a wide range of alternative accommodation throughout the city. There are lodgings available in all parts of Aberdeen and the Students' Association can provide a list of Solicitors and Estate Agents on request.
If you need information or advice when you're living in Halls of Residence, help is at hand from our Community Liaison Officer, suported by a team of Student Residents' Assistants (SRAs). Their job is to ensure your well-being and to help you get the most out of communal life. They can help you with queries or concerns and also organise social events to help you settle in and get to know people.

I ordered these towels for the grandkids trip to Florida. They arrived quickly. They are bright and colorful and seem to be a great value for the money. The kids haven't arrived yet, so I don't know the durability of them. But they appear to be a great deal for the price for children.

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
Set in rural England in the early nineteenth century, Silas Marner covers a time span of some thirty years during which Silas undergoes a process of spiritual-emotional death and rebirth. The secondary plot revolving around Godfrey Cass is of nearly equal importance, and the intersections of the two plots create the primary energies of the novel. In both stories, moreover, suffering is created by men but redeemed by women.
Silas has grown up within the fundamentalist religious community of Lantern Yard—an ironic name, because there is more spiritual darkness than illumination there. Falsely accused by his best friend William Dane of stealing the church's meager funds, and with his guilt "proven" by the drawing of lots, Silas abandons his trust in God and humankind. He takes up residence far to the south in the village of Raveloe, where he makes an adequate living by his weaving. Silas is shunned by the villagers, however, partly because of his reclusive habits and partly because Raveloe is a closed, insular community. With no sense of purpose or human connectedness, Silas becomes a solitary miser whose accumulating hoard of gold coins is his sole comfort.
In contrast, Godfrey Cass, the eldest son of the principal landowner of Raveloe, would seem to be favored by fortune. In fact, however, he lives in dread that his secret and sordid marriage to a woman in a neighboring town will be revealed by his brother Dunstan and that his...

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Raveloe. Village in central England to which Marner moves after his best friend's false accusations of dishonesty force him to leave an unnamed industrial city in northern England. During his first fifteen years in Raveloe, he lives an almost wholly solitary life; his work is all that he has; he virtually lives within his loom, reduced to the stooped and malformed life of a spinning insect. After he takes a foster child into his home, he finally begins to connect with the community.
Marner's cottage
Marner's cottage. Former home of a stone cutter in which Silas Marner lives in Raveloe. The cottage is located at the edge of an abandoned quarry. Within his cottage, Marner quietly amasses a hoard of gold coins, which he earns through years of painstaking weaving work. After his gold is stolen, his literal and figurative myopia—accentuated by his cataleptic trances—causes him to mistake for his returned coins the golden hair of an orphaned infant girl, Eppie, who wanders into his cottage on a dark, cold night, seeking light and warmth. Marner's loving care of Eppie for sixteen years, shored up by the kindness of the villagers, awakens in him an imaginative sympathy that renews and expands his formerly dead sensibilities. Through the influence of the child, Eppie, the bare, stone cottage and its surroundings are transformed into a place of a growing garden that promises to keep flowering at the end of...

Context (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
Although she was the most influential woman writing in English until the twentieth century, George Eliot has not been thought of as a women's writer. Drawn by temperament and talent to the central issues of her times, whether political, religious, social, or artistic, she made a commanding place for herself (under her real name of Mary Ann or Marian Evans) as a writer in a male-dominated intellectual world long before she wrote her first novel. Her novels were published under the masculine pseudonym in order to avoid being thought of as "feminine," and indeed for a time they were thought to be the work of a retired clergyman.
Nevertheless, in both her life and the novels on which her reputation rests, there are women's issues of significance. Her unconventional union with fellow intellectual George Henry Lewes, prevented from being a marriage because of Lewes' inability to obtain a divorce under archaic Victorian divorce laws, scandalized her contemporaries. In her own mind, however, she was right, and eventually society came to accept them as a legitimate couple. Her novels, moreover, are generally centered on problems of choice and vocation for heroines not unlike George Eliot herself. Typically, she focuses on the tension between a woman's personhhood, with its unexpressed depth of talent or feeling, and the limited social role that is available to her.
Silas Marner has no central heroine and consequently does not deal...

Historical Context
Weavers in England
Historian E. P. Thompson, in his book The Making of the English Working Class, describes four different employment situations for weavers during the nineteenth century. The first was the "customer-weaver," like Silas Marner, an independent worker in a village or small town who fulfilled orders from individual customers. Although customer- weavers were diminishing in numbers, those who continued the practice made a good living. In Silas Marner, Mr. Macey guesses that the hardworking Marner may make a pound a week from his weaving, which would have been a fairly sizable income. (This would have been during the early years of the nineteenth century.) The second kind of weaver was self-employed, producing work for a number of different masters. The third type was the journeyman weaver, who often owned his own loom and worked in his own home for one master. This was probably the status of Silas Marner in his hometown in northern England, where he learned his trade. The last category of weaver was the farmer who worked part-time at the loom. From 1780 to 1830, according to Thompson, these groups tended to merge into one group, "the proletarian outworker, who worked in his own home, sometimes owned and sometimes rented his loom, and who wove up the yarn to the specifications of the factor or agent of a mill or of some middleman."
Thompson emphasizes the loss of status and security that accompanied these...

Literary Style
In becoming a solitary miser, Silas Marner has become almost less than human, a point which is brought out by the imagery that is associated with him. He is described as like a spider, weaving its web; his life is reduced to the "unquestioning activity of a spinning insect." After he has lost his money, the image changes to that of an ant. His mind is baffled like a "plodding ant" that on its way home finds that the earth has been moved.
The imagery changes when Marner is on the way to redemption. When he sits with Eppie on a bank of flowers listening to the birds, he starts to look for herbs again, as he did when he was younger. As a leaf lies in his palm, memories of the past come flooding back to him. His mind is "growing into memory," and his soul is "unfolding too, and trembling gradually into full consciousness." Instead of being compared to an insect, Marner is now implicitly likened to an unfolding flower.
Fairy Tale and Realism
The narrative combines elements of the fairy tale with realistic settings and characters. Fairy tales often tell of a man or woman who is unjustly banished from a kingdom or is otherwise the victim of great misfortune. The person then goes through many trials and much suffering and feels that all is lost. Chance events, often involving the supernatural, intervene, evil is punished, good is rewarded, a perfect marriage is arranged, and the characters live happily...

Compare and Contrast
1810s: Each parish in England provides a workhouse to accommodate and employ the destitute. Conditions in the workhouses vary. Some are relatively acceptable, but others are grim. In 1810, George Crabbe writes of one workhouse: "It is a prison, with a milder name, / Which few inhabit without dread or shame."
1860s: Since the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, hundreds of new workhouses have been built. They are supervised by a local Board of Guardians. Conditions in the workhouses are intentionally made harsh and degrading, to deter all but the most desperate. They are inhabited mainly by the old, the infirm, the sick, the orphaned, and unmarried mothers. The largest of them house over a thousand people.
Today: Workhouses no longer exist. They were abolished in 1930. People who in addition to being poor are sick, old, or mentally ill are cared for in hospitals and by social welfare organizations. Under the National Health Service, every British citizen is entitled to free health care, according to his or her need. No social stigma is attached to being an unmarried mother, and women in such situations are able to gain employment.
1810s: The population of England and Wales, according to the official census, is 10,164,000. The population is rising rapidly. The increase is due largely to a falling death rate, which falls from 33.4 per 1,000 in 1730 to 19.98 per 1,000 in 1810. This is due to better living...

Topics for Further Study
Does Godfrey Cass, Eppie's biological father, have the right to take her from Silas Marner, her foster father? What moral issues does this matter raise? How is this issue relevant in the early 2000s?
Bearing in mind that Eliot has sometimes been criticized by feminists for being too conservative in her representation of women, discuss the characters Nancy Lammeter, Dolly Winthrop, and Eppie. Are they presented as dependent on men? How do they go about fulfilling their needs and desires? How do they support others?
Discuss how Silas Marner rears Eppie. What principles does he follow? Does he follow Dolly Winthrop's advice? What role does punishment have in childrearing?
Write a detailed analysis of the scene in Chapter 6 in which the male villagers meet at the Rainbow. Who are the main characters, and what do they discuss? What does this scene reveal about village life in Raveloe? Why is the scene placed at this point in the narrative?
(The entire section is 160 words.)
Media Adaptations
The film Silas Marner (1985) was directed by Giles Foster and starred Ben Kingsley as Marner, with co-stars Jenny Agutter, Freddie Jones, and Angela Pleasence.
(The entire section is 24 words.)
What Do I Read Next?
Like Silas Marner, Eliot's novel Adam Bede (1859) is set in a fictional rural community in which the people adhere to traditional ways of communal living. Unlike the situation in Silas Marner, however, the villagers must learn to deal with the kinds of social change they are illequipped to face.
North and South (1855), by Victorian novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, makes for an interesting comparison with Eliot's style and themes. Margaret Hale, a girl from southern England, is unwillingly sent to the northern industrial city of Manchester, where she must adjust to a rougher society than the one in which she was raised.
Frederick Robert Karl's biography George Eliot: Voice of a Century: A Biography (1995) has been widely praised for bringing Eliot vividly to life. Giving full attention to issues of class and gender, he recreates the world in which she lived and shows how she became a great writer.
Asa Briggs's The Age of Improvement: 1783– 1867 (1959; 2d ed., 1999) is a classic study of how and why Britain changed from the time of the French Revolution to the mid-Victorian era. Briggs covers sociological, economic, political and cultural history.
Richard Muir's The English Village (1980) describes the history of the English village and provides many photographs.

Bibliography (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Beer, Gillian. George Eliot. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1986. A feminist approach to the novels of George Eliot that acknowledges Eliot's power to redefine issues relating to gender while remaining within the traditional canon of English literature. The chapter on Silas Marner focuses on Silas' weaving as a metaphor, with feminine associations, for the interconnections of circumstance that form Silas' destiny.
Draper, R. P., ed. George Eliot: "The Mill on the Floss" and "Silas Marner." London: Macmillan, 1977. Useful casebook anthology, containing early reviews and nineteenth century criticism in addition to more modern studies. See especially David Carroll's "Reversing the Oracles of Religion," an authoritative essay on Eliot's humanist religious views.
Ermarth, Elizabeth Deeds. George Eliot. Boston: Twayne, 1985. A compact literary biography that addresses various moral and philosophical aspects of Eliot's intellectual development. In the chapter on Silas Marner, Ermarth sees a central theme emerging from opposed realms of circumstance and moral order linked by the bonds of human sympathy and trust.
Paris, Bernard J. Experiments in Life: George Eliot's Quest for Values. Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1965. Has limited coverage of...

Comments about REI Winterflyte Tights - Men's:
Very nice fabric, comfortable, and they look good. Today was my first running these pants, so durability is still up in the air, but I expect the usual hardy performance from REI brand stuff. Fit is...odd, however. I'm 5'11, 235lbs, and these pants somehow manage to be a touch baggy around the waist and feel an inch short along the inseam. Maybe a variety of inseams would allow for better fit. It doesn't compromise performance, just feels a bit odd.
The most annoying thing by far, though, is the "pocket" on the back panel. I bought these pants mostly because I wanted a back pocket for my iPhone on runs. This pocket is barely big enough for a gel packet or a house key - it might fit an iPod nano, but it's nowhere near big enough for an iPhone. Buyer beware on that point.

FY2011 Budget Cuts and the Effect on Science
The House, Senate, and White House came to an agreement on federal spending for FY 2011 two hours before a possible government shutdown on the night of 8 April 2011. With negotiations completed, the House and Senate voted overnight to pass a stopgap measure to fund the government through Thursday, 14 April, preventing a break in the dissemination of federal funds. Democrats and Republicans agreed to pass a continuing resolution (CR) with the negotiated spending cuts that will fund the government through 30 September 2011 and send it to the President by Thursday.
Although a government shutdown was averted there are still repercussions in federal support for the sciences and scientific research.
Overall, the CR totals $1.049 trillion in funding, which is a reduction of $78.5 billion from the FY2011 President's budget request and $37.6 below FY2010 levels. The cuts include $12 billion already cut in the previous three CR and $28 billion in new cuts. These cuts affect the areas where the field of astronomy and astrophysics receives most of its federal support.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) will be funded at $6.9 billion. This is a decrease of $551 million from the FY2011 budget request and $53 million below FY2010 enacted levels.
NASA will be funded at $18.5 billion, a reduction of $515 million below the FY2011 budget request. The level for NASA Science Mission Directorate shall be $4.9 billion, a decrease of $61 million from the FY2011 request and an increase of $447 million over the FY2010 enacted levels.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations issued a press release stating that the CR, "Preserves [a] NASA portfolio balanced among science, aeronautics, technology and human space flight investments, holding NASA's feet to the fire to build the Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle and the heavy lift Space Launch System." [01]
The CR also has a statement prohibiting NASA and the Office of Science and Technology Policy to engage in activities with China.
SEC. 1340. (a) None of the funds made available by this division may be used for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or the Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop, design, plan, promulgate, implement, or execute a bilateral policy, program, order, or contract of any kind to participate, collaborate, or coordinate bilaterally in any way with China or any Chinese-owned company unless such activities are specifically authorized by a law enacted after the date of enactment of this division.
(b) The limitation in subsection (a) shall also apply to any funds used to effectuate the hosting of official Chinese visitors at facilities belonging to or utilized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. [02]
This provision may be a congressional response to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden's controversial trip to China.
An article in Nature at the time of the trip on October 13, 2010, quotes a 12 October letter to President Obama from Representative John Culberson (R-TX) states: "I do not believe it is appropriate for the Administrator to meet with any Chinese officials until Congress is fully briefed on the nature and scope of Mr. Bolden's trip." [03]
The Department of Energy Office of Science receives $4.9 billion, a reduction of $252 million below the FY2011 budget request and $35 million below FY2010 enacted levels.
More details will be posted on the AAS Public Policy Blog at blog.aas.org.

Contemporary / Modern One Light Mini Pendant from the Geometry Collection
Great little lights
These lights take up to a 100 W bulb so they pack a lot of light for their little size. I have 2 over a kitchen island... love them. I do wish they had a diffuser on the bottom, but I can live with it. These are awesome, and super reasonably priced for island pendants. I installed with Hubby and they were a breeze, the hardest part was deciding how low they should hang. I have gotten tons on compliments on them.... love them.

Friday's Eye of the Day, plus BH Cosmetics Eye and Lip Primer Review!
Was testing out BH Cosmetics' eye and lip primer ($7.77) and did a subtle eye with a colored twist, using MAC's Tan pigment and Sable, with a dark navy Motorhead as liner of sorts. The shadows went on with pretty good intensity and stayed on with minimal fading over a 12 hour day.
This reminds me of Lime Crime's famous Candy Eye Shadow Primer, but is more pigmented.
I personally think this works better on those who need a primer to prep slightly oily lids and make shadow last, and not so well for those who are looking for a base to intensify shadows. It doesn't dull your shadow the way some primers can; it just doesn't really enhance it in particular either.
(Strangely enough, BH does have another primer which is designed to hold on to shadows and neutralize discolorations as well. I'm not sure how that would compare to this, but I would guess this is better for normal/combi lids and the other is better for oilier skins.)
As mentioned, this has quite a lot of pigments - more than any other primer I've tried - so it's like a sheer concealer almost. You will need to blend it out quickly and try not to over-apply or you could end up with slight patchiness. It will cover discolorations and veined lids better than clear primers like Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Coastal Scents Shadow Worx.
- Affordable
- Nice, creamy/silky texture that goes on easily
- Sets quickly and doesn't budget easily
- Holds on to shadow pretty well
- Pigmented, which means you can use it to conceal discolorations on lips and lids
- Portable size.
- Very tiny. This comes in a 3g jar (which on the flip-side makes it portable). That said, I've found often with pot primers like Lime Crime's as well as BH's, a teeny tiny bit goes a very long way, so a small jar like this can last for months. You're NOT supposed to over-apply.
- Dries and sets quite quickly, so make sure you apply a minimal amount or it can look patchy on the lids.
- If you have darker skin, this might look ashy on you. It might work ok on the lids, but I wouldn't recommend it as a lip primer if you have tanned or deep skin.
Overall, a good primer that is definitely worth the price tag! It isn't quite as bullet-proof as the Lime Crime Shadow Helper, but it does very well at a fraction of the cost.
On the other hand, I do prefer it to Too Faced Shadow Insurance (surprise!); I like the slight creaminess of this primer more. If you work fast, this will bring out your shadows better than the Too Faced, which tends to be too slippery/silicone-y.
This WILL work better on fair to medium skins, but might be too deep for the porcelain-skinned. For darker skins, lighter shades like these do tend to bring out bright colors better so it would work on the eyes, but I'd definitely avoid this as a lip primer.

This is perhaps the most direct threat, one that police say Dorner has carried out already.
He is telling LAPD officers that he will target their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children. He names some of them, including retired officer Randy Quan, whose daughter may have been the first victim. It's unclear what Dorner means about having a family of his own, but his threats to wreak havoc and commit mass murder are clear.
- - - - -
"The Violence of action will be HIGH. I am the reason TAC alert was established. I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty...
"This will be a war of attrition and a Pyrrhic and Camdean Victory for myself. You may have the resources and manpower but you are reactive and predictable in your op plans... I have the strength and benefits of being unpredictable, unconventional, and unforgiving. Do not waste your time with briefs and tabletops."
Dorner doens't just threaten to kill, he threatens warfare. He is almost inviting LAPD officers, daring them, to try to stop him. It is as if he knows how it will end, and he doesn't care. He believes he will win the war he is waging, although it will cause his suffering and death just as much as that of the victims he plans to kill.

Human networking will boost business - HR consultant |
Friday, 05 June 2009 | |
Ramani KANGARAARACHCHI Human networking in reconciliation is the way for Sri Lanka to hold the banner of "Ready for Business" in a short period of time," HR Consultant, Bangalore, India S. Ramesh told Daily News Business on Wednesday. Ramesh is in Sri Lanka on the invitation of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) to conduct two seminars on "Power of Human Networks" and "Coaching for Managers" for junior, middle and senior level managers in Sri Lankan companies in Colombo. He commended the participants at the seminar and added that they had the right attitude to develop Sri Lanka. human networking can make a tremendous change in companies as well as in societies for the betterment of the country. Sri Lanka had been a flourishing country in the past with highly talented people and with the end of the war it can flourish again. "Even I am prepared to establish a business development centre with Sri Lankan IT engineers," he said. Ramesh described three levels of human networking as I, WE and US which applies to any group within a company, country or society." One cannot reconcile another if he or she is not comfortable within them. The person who reaches out must have peace of mind, he said. The second level of human networking is "WE "where there are certain common things among members in the group and they establish common goals and work to achieve them at the third level (US) which is the highest. Working together is success provided they recognize each one's strengths. The aggregate of such strengths is not additive, but exponential when put together. Working at cross purposes leads to diffusion of efforts, energies and resources, he said. On the topic of reconciliation as a society, he said it is necessary to identify leaders and establish a good rapport. This can be done through temples, churches and industries. Referring to the human problem in South Africa, he said that President Nelson Mandela well understood this concept and overcame the problem. People in the south should go to the north and east and shake hands and say that they are ready to do business. By having a continuous communication process the highest level of networking can be achieved. The responsibility is in the south, he said. The celebrations should be minimized because Sri Lanka has missed a lot during the war and it has to walk very fast to keep pace with the rest of the world, he said. Courtesy: dailynews.lk |

Message board
Hello Kika, thanks so much for visiting my gallery, and for the new stars. It's always nice to see you! Hope all is well with you! Keep in touch--Judith
Hi Kika, I've been trying to send you a message about the competition, but there are problems on Bluecanvas right now and I can't send messages. I will try again later.--Judith
I tried, and it's still not working. i sent a message to another Bluecanvas artist and it worked. So I'm not sure why I can't send anything to you. I'll try again later. Sorry about that, Kika!
Okay, that sounds good. Here are my choices: folder 'b&w', (no title) old man with cigarette and beard, folder 'My Artwork', "five o'clock tea", and "tulips". I tried to pick different subject matters, and not all three people, buildings or flowers. Let me know what you think. Sorry about the message problem.
I agree with that people choice.But I have feeling that my pictures with flowers or buildings are not good.I feel like they are not perfect (I hope you know how I mean it) I think it could by more special,pictures of flower can take anyone ,but its special only sometimes. Tulips its nice picture,but i think composition is not right. five o clock tea ...thats beautiful building,I think that is good choice.Also man with cigarette ,I like also that crying boy-because of that girl in background(b a w), in album older..that walking man with suitcase ,in wood nymph nature is my home , lets get lost in my artwork , birth of butterfly in experimental....you see I am absolutely lost. but 3 of five pictures I will send could be people.I feel more comfortable with this choice.Its really nice that you helping my with this,thank you for your time.
Okay, that helps, Kika! Knowing that it's street and people. I also looked at the fotoroka website and got a better idea what they're looking for. Yes, I like the crying boy, and the man walking with the suitcase. I also like in folder 'older' "there is a ghost town" and "street behind the corner". "birth of a butterfly" is also good. I don't like "nature is my home" as much. I hope I'm not making this harder! Let me know what your final choice is. I'd be very interested to see what you pick.
final choices are ..crying boy,smoking man,man walking with suitcase,birth of butterfly , Iam not sure about the street behind the corner,but I ll send it because there is a ghost town is small picture and pictures to competition have to have huge resolution. Thank you very very much with your time and help,you really helped me. :)
No problem, Kika! I very much enjoyed helping you pick. You know how much I like your work. Those are good choices! Lots and lots of luck with the competition. Let me know how things are going!--Judith
Zdravim Vas Kika som naozaj rad,ze sa tu stretava komunita skvelych slovenskych vytvarnikov-fotografistov. Prajem Vam Dobre Svetlo ! ! !
Dakujem velmi pekne,aj ked neviem ci si zasluzim tento krasny pojem fotograf,ale ak to beriem z hladiska,ze sa snazim vyjadrit svoje city,nalady a myslienky pomocou fotoaparatu a ludom sa to lubi,tak som velmi statna.este raz dakujem,a prajem napodobne dobre Svetlo.
I do realize that words are powerful but sometimes I think that its impossible to say by the words how happy I am and how grateful .Thank you for all your stars,comments. I hope my work connected yours feeling with mine for a while. Your comments make my feel like I am not lost in this world.(of chaos)
thank you...I do agree too ,but I dont feel alone just lost sometimes but thats ok because thats just makes me realize that this is the right path.And you have to go trough bad things to not forget about good things.

In Western Europe, the extent of Sweden's peatlands (64 000 km2 with a peat layer thicker than 30 cm) is second only to Finland's: the deposits are distributed throughout the country, being particularly extensive in the far north.
Energy peat production has been gradually increasing in recent years and is now in the region of 1.3 million tonnes per annum.
The use of peat as a household fuel has never been of much significance. Production of peat for industrial energy use began during the 19th century and, after reaching a peak level during World War II, declined to virtually zero by 1970. Use of peat as a fuel for power stations and district heating plants started in the mid-1980s and now constitutes by far the greater part of consumption. In 2004, CHP plants accounted for 71% of total consumption, heat plants for 26% and industrial users for the remaining 3%.

Beta blockers: How do they affect exercise?

- With Mayo Clinic emeritus hypertension specialist
Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D.

Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D.
Sheldon Sheps, M.D.
Dr. Sheldon Sheps, emeritus professor of medicine and former chair of the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension in the Department of Medicine at Mayo Clinic, has been with Mayo Clinic since 1960.
Dr. Sheps, a Winnipeg, Manitoba, native, is board certified in internal medicine and specializes in hypertension and peripheral vascular diseases. He developed a multidisciplinary approach with specially trained nurses, dietitians, technicians and educators to help form a team approach to the treatment of patients with abnormal blood pressure.
"I have always believed in involving the patient and family in their health care," Dr. Sheps says. "I have asked for their understanding of the illness and issues and for participation in decisions. The Web is a natural extension of that, and now many more people can be informed."
Dr. Sheps chaired the sixth working group, and he participated in the fourth, fifth and seventh groups that developed the then-latest guidelines for hypertension under the auspices of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). He helped write the latest American Heart Association (AHA) report on blood pressure measurement. He chaired an AHA group that produced an online accreditation for blood pressure measurement for health professionals.
Dr. Sheps has co-authored books, newsletters, CD-ROMs and other Mayo Clinic health information material. He joined Mayo Clinic's Web team in 1998. He was medical editor-in-chief of both editions of the "Mayo Clinic on High Blood Pressure" book; the last edition was published in 2003. He was also medical editor-in-chief of "Mayo Clinic 5 Steps to Controlling High Blood Pressure," published in 2008.
In addition, Dr. Sheps was section editor for each of the first three editions of "Hypertension Primer" for the American Heart Association.
Dr. Sheps was also chairman of the Science Base Subcommittee and the National High Blood Pressure Education Program, and he was a consultant to the Hypertension Initiative of the World Health Organization. In 1997, he was honored with the Individual Achievement Award on the 25th anniversary of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program of NHLBI. In 2009, he was honored as a Distinguished Mayo Alumnus.

Beta blockers: How do they affect exercise?
My doctor recently prescribed a beta blocker to lower my blood pressure. Now, when I exercise, I have trouble getting my heart rate higher than 135. Is this normal?
from Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D.
Beta blockers slow your heart rate, which can prevent the increase in heart rate that typically occurs with exercise. This means that it might not be possible for you to reach your target heart rate — the number of heartbeats per minute you should have to ensure you're exercising at the proper intensity level. No matter how hard you exercise when taking a beta blocker, you may never reach your target heart rate. However, being unable to reach your previous target heart rate doesn't mean you're not getting cardiovascular benefits from exercise.
There's no precise way to predict the effect of beta blockers on your heart rate. An exercise stress test, which checks blood flow through your heart while you exercise, can measure how hard your heart pumps while you're taking beta blockers. Your doctor can use this information to adjust the target heart rate you should work to.
You can also try lowering your target heart rate by the amount that your resting heart rate has been lowered by the beta blocker. For example, if your resting heart rate has decreased from 70 to 50, then try working at a target heart rate 20 beats per minute lower than what you used to do. This way of calculating your adjusted target heart rate isn't precise, and sometimes the peak exercise heart rate is affected much more than is the resting heart rate. An exercise stress test is the best way to establish a new target heart rate on beta blockers.
If you haven't had an exercise stress test, you can use a perceived exertion scale, such as the Borg scale, which relies on your own judgment of how hard you're working based on effort, breathlessness and fatigue. Ask your doctor for help finding and using an exertion scale. For most workouts, your best bet is to aim for moderate intensity.

Spain Tried To Celebrate Their Group Stage Win With Hookers
"Congratulations Italy! You just came in third in the Confederations Cup! What are you going to do now?"
"Eh… Mi scusi but we cannot celebrate. They would not let us bring our meat and cheese into the country. We go home and make a porchetta from Maya. Do not tell Mario. Grazie!"
Italy managed to edge out Uruguay in Sunday's third-place game through penalties. Spain-Brazil is coming up at 6 PM ET. Win or lose, Spain isn't going out quietly if the Confederations Cup group stages are anything to go by.
The World and European champions tried to celebrate their group stage win over Nigeria by bringing a gaggle of 10 prostitutes back to the team hotel. Let's just say it didn't go over well.
The UOL Sport heard several people who witnessed the scene – including employees, security guards and local merchants – and found that, around 4am, a player from Spain arrived at the scene about ten prostitutes offering their services at the nearby beaches and tried up with women for floors that house the delegation. Readily, receptionists and security guards reported that it would not be possible, the athlete revolting.
Dissatisfied, he came into contact with some companions, who came down and started the riot. Changed, they did not accept they would have to leave women outside the hotel, initiating a discussion with the hotel staff.
After 20 minutes of negotiations, they agreed to go without prostitutes, which were removed by security from the hotel lobby. One of them, however, managed to evade the blockade and enter the elevator. However, when he reached the 15th floor, a security guard who provides services to the organization of the FIFA Confederations Cup barred their entry.
With shouts and blows up the elevator, similar to what had already done some players when they saw that they could not climb together, she woke up other guests at the hotel. There were hits mouth and even a threat to call the police car which oversees the region to intervene.
On Monday morning, before the confusion, heads of delegation and representatives of the Spanish hotel met to establish a pact of silence and prevent the fact became public, the environment impeding the winning team in the world and Euro.
Apparently a similar situation broke out earlier in Recife in which players' belongings were stolen by women brought back to the Spanish team hotel.
Imagine the Spanish team celebrations that must have taken place after the Euro and World Cup wins then multiply that by a factor of 10 if they win today. I've lived in Brazil and been to South Africa. Lemme tell you something. Poland and South Africa ain't got nothing on Brazil when it comes to partying. Also keep in mind that this tournament, while meaning something for national pride, isn't anywhere near the level of the World Cup or the Euro in terms of prominence so they, like every other team, have probably been rolling strong since they landed in Brazil.

Revealed: U.S. compiled secret cybertargets list
Senior U.S. national security officials have created a list of possible cyberattack targets on the orders of President Barack Obama, according to a secret document obtained by the Guardian dating back to last fall.

Deviled ham
It's curtains for the
covert demon who
haunts the Playground.
"You tiny humans shall feel the wrath of the demon Andromelias. Your fragile meat-bag bodies shall pop open; your bones shall shatter, launching shards through your torn organs; your eyes will wither like grapes becoming raisins, later to be placed in tiny boxes and sent off to Montessori schools…where hippie children will…eat them."
Ouch: Them's fighting words. Coming from anyone (or anything) else, we'd instantly soil ourselves…most likely. Thankfully for us and our lack of bladder control, the hell-raiser who issues that threat in A Demon Who Never Appeared never, uh, appears.
Part spooky sketch show, part alt-comedy showcase, all BYOB, Demon occupies the Playground's midnight slot on the first Saturday of every month (though the December show was switched to Friday 1). Its story follows Dr. Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani) as he attempts to put on a variety show with the help of musician Maestro Hannah (Hannah Gansen), announcer Colonel Wigsplitter (Josh Cheney) and three guest performers. Each month, a demon (Jared Logan) who allegedly haunts the theater tries his darndest to ruin the show. Only problem is, as the title hints at, he's nothing more than a booming voice—which makes for some pretty futile attempts and hilarious banter.
"Both [Logan] and I are huge fans of the old Vincent Price movies," says Nanjiani, a local stand-up comedian seen all over town. "If you take his characters and exaggerate them—though they're pretty exaggerated to begin with—you get the demon."
Last month, the unseen villain mailed the cast a wish-granting monkey's paw. He then antagonized Maestro Hannah and Colonel Wigsplitter until they made wishes, each carrying a slight, quasi-anticipated consequence. This, of course, gave the demon more fodder—like when Wigsplitter wished for a seashell only to find one growing out of his stomach. "This is the most hideous thing I've ever seen," the demon said, "and I've lived in Hell."
Demon conjures these types of surreal images while keeping the writing squeaky-clean—the result of a drawn-out editing process. The show's writing team (Logan, Nanjiani and occasionally Andy Ross) crafts a new show each month. The 30-or-so minutes need to be solid, as the cast is operating without the traditional sketch safety net. "Normally, you write a show, see what works and redo it," Nanjiani says. "In Demon, we perform a sketch once and never use it again."
Overall, Nanjiani is pleased with the way things are going (Friday 1's show will be his tenth). Because of its alternative nature and need for a consistent writing schedule, Demon has also pushed him to improve his own stand-up material. "It's easy to get lazy with stand-up when there's no deadline for new jokes. Demon lights a fire under my ass to keep writing, and it draws a different audience than a normal stand-up crowd," he explains.
Nick Vatterott, one of the show's guest artists, echoes Nanjiani's appreciation for the alternative audience that Demon brings out. A regular stand-up performer himself, Vatterott uses his stints on the show to embrace large comedic risks. "The audience has no idea what they are about to see," he says. "And it's conducive to doing stuff that's more theatrical, more outside the lines of conventional stand-up."
Ironically, Vatterott's material was all about conventions: A ten-minute routine with things like, "Crowd work. Crowd work. Setup, setup, punch line!" Still, it was a huge departure from his typical joke stock, and the audience, at this point fairly inebriated, laughed just the same. Guess the demon's earlier threats— "I'll destroy this show like a cement mixer crashing through a greenhouse. I'll savage this show like a grizzly bear raping a box turtle"—were pretty empty.
Demon appears (!) Friday 1 at midnight.

TURKEY DAZE: Gluttony is more to blame for post-Thanksgiving tiredness than anything in the turkey itself.
Image: © iStockPhoto.com / Christine Balderas
Let us give thanks on Thanksgiving for its cornucopia of foods: mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, creamed corn, cranberry sauce and, of course, turkey, among other delights. Every fourth Thursday of November, friends and family in the U.S. travel thousands of miles to gather and gorge in a celebration tracing back to 1621 when Plymouth Pilgrims and Native Americans spent three days breaking bread in gratitude for the year's plentiful harvest.
Those early revelers were probably knocked out by their marathon feast, and most people today are familiar with the post-Thanksgiving food coma. But often the blame falls on the bird. Turkey allegedly causes drowsiness because it is packed with a nutrient called tryptophan.
Tryptophan is one of 20 naturally occurring amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. Because the body is unable to manufacture tryptophan on its own, it must be obtained from food protein. Turkey is a great source of this essential acid, but it is not unique: many meats and other protein products pack comparable amounts.
Tryptophan is used by the human body to make serotonin, a neurotransmitter. It has a somnolent effect on fruit flies, whose sleep is most likely equivalent to our slow-wave (non-REM) sleep, says neuroscientist Amita Sehgal of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Other studies show that one function of serotonin is the promotion of slow-wave sleep in nonhuman mammals, she adds, and it may do the same for humans.
Thus, it is no wonder that turkey, which provides the raw material for the synthesis of sleep-related serotonin, is purported to have soporific power.
But eating turkey does not translate to amplified serotonin production in the brain, says neuropharmacologist Richard Wurtman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences in Cambridge, Mass.
Turkey and other protein-rich foods contain many amino acids, and tryptophan is the scarcest among them, Wurtman says. After a turkey dinner, several amino acids circulate through the bloodstream. To get into the brain they must be shuttled across the blood–brain barrier by specialized transport proteins. Like passengers trying to board a crowded bus, amino acids compete for rides on these transporters. Not only does tryptophan have paltry representation among the passengers; it also competes with five other amino acids for the same transporter. Aced out by other amino acids, tryptophan thereby has a tough time hitching a ride to the brain.
Taken in isolation, tryptophan would increase brain serotonin, Wurtman says, but no food source contains tryptophan in the absence of other amino acids.
"Paradoxically, what probably makes people sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner is…dessert," he adds. "Eating carbohydrates increases brain serotonin in spite of the fact that there is no tryptophan in carbohydrates."
Gobbling a slice of sweet pumpkin pie, for instance, causes beta cells in the pancreas to secrete insulin, a hormone that allows the uptake of glucose and most amino acids into the tissues. But insulin has little effect on tryptophan, a large percentage of which travels the bloodstream bound to the protein albumin and therefore is unavailable to the tissues, the notable exception being the brain. By sopping up other amino acids from the blood, however, insulin reduces the tryptophan's competition; the transport system is no longer tied up and more tryptophan can cross the blood–brain barrier. As Wurtman and others have shown, when more tryptophan arrives in the brain, serotonin synthesis steps up and serotonin-mediated transmission is amplified among neurons.
There is another reason turkey has been accused of causing drowsiness: Tryptophan is also a precursor to melatonin, a sleep-associated hormone manufactured in the brain's pineal gland. "Melatonin secretion is increased during sleep," and some studies have suggested that melatonin helps people fall asleep as well as adjust their body clocks to new time zones, says psychiatrist Jerry Siegel of the Center for Sleep Research at the University of California, Los Angeles.
