Anna Meares' emotional tribute to her coach
It's been an emotional time for Anna Meares, Australia's greatest female track cyclist in history. She has done it all in her career, and after the latest Olympics in Rio, he called it a career. Now the man that has helped achieve her dreams, her coach Gary West, is the fight of his life.
Meares told The Herald Sun, "Gary has been significant in my career, in the eight years I've worked with him I've won nine of my 11 world titles, three of my Olympic medals and four of my Commonwealth Games gold medals". She added, "And six of the eight world records I have ridden have been under his guidance.
"I asked him at the beginning of working with me if he was in my corner … I don't even need to think it today.
"He's been there and seen me in the toughest times, when I went through my marriage break-up, he saw the very lowest of my life and he picked me up.
"He was always there, and so I will do that in return for him in this experience."
West is fighting the terrifying motor neurone disease (MND) which has left him unable to speak. He was diagnoised just after Rio and has stepped down as coach. He is forced now to communicate with a speech app as the illness has already impared his speech.
Meares said, "Gary didn't choose MND; MND chose him, but I choose Gary as my friend, and I will support him.
"Gary knows of the love and gratitude I have for all he has done for me – the extent very few people know. What I can and will do now is as he has done for me and be in his corner.
"I will support him and his family and be his face and voice throughout his illness."
She has helped launch "Cycling Cares" campaign to try to bring awareness and funding to help find treatment and cures for the illness.

Arriving now at KITH is Vans latest release - the Henna Boot Leather Pack. This two model sneaker pack features a running theme of supplemented high grade full grain boot leather onto iconic Vans silhouettes, such as the Sk8-Hi Zip and the Era Decon. The Vans CA Sk8-Hi Zip - Henna features a tonal henna brown upper, completely crafted out of a rich boot leather, which exudes quality through various natural wrinkles. The formstripes are self-fabric, and are accentuated by white contrast stitching to allow the leather to flow throughout the upper uninterrupted. The Era Decon follows suit, as the low profile model becomes autumnal via this material swap. Both models sit atop white rubber midsole units, which is further complemented by white hiker rope laces. Both of these exquisite models are available now at the New KITH Shop and online at KithNYC.com.

Mythic Propaganda
In the hall of mirrors that houses the county's El Toro International Airport planning office, the words "myth" and "fact" are often used interchangeably. How often do county planners insist El Toro will be "quiet" and "safe," even as evidence mounts that the proposed airport will be neither? Myths become facts and facts become myths with the dark flair of George Orwell's Ministry of Truth.On Feb. 1, 1999, the county showed us their facts and myths in a half-page ad in the Los Angeles Times. Headlined "Heard the one about the planes from El Toro blocking out the sun?" the green-and-purple ad ostensibly corrects four myths surrounding the largest planning project in county history. But the ad really only showed how the county uses misinformation to propel its airport-or-else agenda.The ad starts off with the "myth" that El Toro will be a "giant airport." Instead, the ad says El Toro will just be a "modern, midsized regional airport offering international access, competitive airfares and convenient travel options." There's even a little graph showing three other airports serving many more passengers. But what the graph doesn't show are the cargo projections that have El Toro moving 2.2 million tons of cargo every year-which would make it one of the largest cargo hubs in the U.S.The second "myth" is a county favorite: all of those hundreds of thousands of planes flying in and out every year will make nearby neighborhoods excessively noisy. Relying on the old 65-decibel CNEL data, the ad insists the people living around the airport "will experience little or no noise." In fact, the ad designers neglected to mention that CNEL is an average-meaning people can live in a city the county deemed "quiet" and still hear 80 to 90 decibels at 3 a.m. from a plane passing overhead.Just above a highly selective and deceptive noise chart is the third myth: traffic from the new airport will "strangle" South County. In a creative but specious argument, the ad says the county's airport "generates less than half the traffic of the high-density non-aviation Millennium Plan"-a true, but irrelevant, statement. The county's numbers say the airport will create 160,000 new daily trips, which, as anyone who's ever driven by LAX at 6 p.m. knows, will turn the evening commute on the newly expanded 5 freeway into a parking lot.But the ad saves its best "myth"-that El Toro won't be safe-for the end. "In fact," trumpets the ad, "consultants (selected in part by the Air Line Pilots Association) [say the] proposed takeoffs and departures can be safely conducted at El Toro within all FAA safety standards." Of course, the ad neglects to mention how the Air Line Pilots Association rejected the consultants' final report as unrealistic, or how Mary Schiavo, the former Department of Transportation inspector general, says El Toro's obsolete crossing runways and proximity to hills make it unlikely the FAA will give the county a thumbs-up. But no matter. The county says El Toro will be safe-isn't that enough?

SANFORD, Fla. - After watching the defense utilize cross examination to bolster George Zimmerman's self defense claim through yet another round of state witnesses, many of you wanted to know what the difference is between second degree murder and manslaughter.
Miami-based former US Attorney David Weinstein breaks it down for you:
"Second degree murder is the primary charge and that is what the State is trying to prove.
The key for second degree murder is not necessarily reckless conduct, but conduct that an ordinary person (the everyday man or woman) would know is reasonably certain to kill or seriously harm someone and it is committed out of ill will, hatred, spite, or an evil intent (new Twitter shorthand – IW/H/S/EI) or indicates an indifference to human life (IHL).
The key words are reasonable and ordinary.
Would the average man or woman on the street (the ordinary person) know that -- (conduct) tracking down a "suspicious" person on a dark rainy night, forcing an encounter with them while you had a pre-determined plan in your mind to hold someone accountable for recent burglaries (IW/H/S/EI), confronting them, becoming involved in a fistfight with them while you were carrying a handgun on your person (IHL) -- would create a series of events that is reasonably certain (reasonable) to kill or harm that person?
If the answer, based on the proof submitted during the trial (and you were not acting in lawful self defense), is yes then you are guilty of second degree murder.
You don't get to reckless until you begin to consider manslaughter or self defense.
Here's where this all comes from; The law.
The basis for a second degree murder conviction is whether the actions of a defendant were:
"Imminently dangerous to another and demonstrating a depraved mind."
You prove that someone committed an act that was "Imminently dangerous to another and demonstrating a depraved mind" by showing:
- A person of ordinary judgment would know (the act) is reasonably certain to kill or do serious bodily injury to another, and
- (The act is) is done from ill will, hatred, spite, or an evil intent, and
- Is of such a nature that the act itself indicates an indifference to human life.
Self defense is a recognized defense to second degree murder.
If the jury believes that George Zimmerman was in fear for his life and was defending himself within the confines of legitimate self defense under either common law or SYG they can find him not guilty.
If the jury does not believe that the prosecution can prove second degree murder, then they move on to consider whether or not he is guilty of the lesser included offense of manslaughter (by act).
To prove manslaughter (by act) the State must prove:
That Trayvon Martin is dead and that George Zimmerman intentionally committed an act or acts that caused the death of Trayvon Martin
However - George Zimmerman cannot be guilty of manslaughter by committing a merely negligent act or if the killing was either justifiable or excusable homicide:
Negligence: Each of us has a duty to act reasonably toward others. If there is a violation of that duty, without any conscious intention to harm, that violation is negligence.
Justifiable Homicide: (Self Defense) The killing of a human being is justifiable homicide and lawful if necessarily done while resisting an attempt to murder or commit a felony upon the defendant
Excusable Homicide: The killing of a human being is excusable, and therefore lawful, under any one of the following three circumstances:
1. When the killing is committed by accident and misfortune in doing any lawful act by lawful means with usual ordinary caution and without any unlawful intent, or
2. When the killing occurs by accident and misfortune in the heat of passion, upon any sudden and sufficient provocation, or
3. When the killing is committed by accident and misfortune resulting from a sudden combat, if a dangerous weapon is not used and the killing is not done in a cruel or unusual manner. (This would not apply because Zimmerman used a dangerous weapon)
In order to convict of manslaughter by act, it is not necessary for the State to prove that the defendant had an intent to cause death, only an intent to commit an act that was not merely negligent, justified, or excusable and which caused death."

WIMAUMA — Deputies have arrested two people in the drive-by shooting of a Wimauma man Sunday.
Hugo Alberto Longoria, 23, of Riverview and Jose Adan Longoria, 18, of Wimauma each were charged with attempted first-degree murder with a firearm and aggravated battery with great bodily harm.
Deputies say the two fired shots at Rogelio Rios, 20, of Wimauma, about 10 a.m. Sunday in the 5000 block of Vernice Street.
Rios, standing outside, was hit in the leg, the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office said. He was hospitalized with nonlife-threatening injuries.
Detectives determined the shooting was not random, and they got warrants for the Longorias. Both were arrested Monday.

I've said it before, and I'll meekly say it again: I'm the worst at remembering to take photos of Hayden on his monthly birthdays. And jotting down all those important milestones when he achieves them? Not great at that either. But ever since Disney created their new, free app called Story, it's been a lot more fun to document monthly birthdays and neat little milestones. Since my camera phone is usually always on me, I can easily and quickly snap photos when I need to, and the Disney Story app makes it super simple for me to tell the story and share it with family and friends. I just created a story of our impromptu 10-month birthday photo shoot and I promptly sent it off to my husband and the grandparents. Take a look at my latest Story of Hayden's 10-month birthday!
If you enjoy the look and layout of Disney Story, you can download it for free in the iTunes store, and you can follow Disney Story on Twitter and Facebook for updates on the progress of this very cool app. I'll be back later in the week to also share a quick tutorial on how easy the app is to use.

Coordinator Heidi Pyron says Family VIolence Program helps victims of domestic violence gain autonomy, safety, longterm independence
It may have been a gunshot or a stabbing or an auto "hit and run" that put "Robert Morgan" in the hospital for a week. But because his former partner and abuser is still at large, his life is in mortal danger and his identity and story of recent domestic abuse must be withheld.
Morgan, though, is able to say that he has found his "lifeline" at Resource Center Dallas, with its Family Violence Program.
Heidi Pyron, FVP coordinator at RCD, reached out and called Morgan after receiving a referral from a concerned friend, who, Morgan said, "knew I was desperate." Pyron, who has a decade of experience working with family violence issues, has been instrumental in helping Morgan get a new lease on life, he said.
Morgan said that the abusive relationship was clouded in confusion. He said he didn't even realize at first that he was being abused and was even coerced into feeling guilty and that the abuse was his fault.
He said, "Before, I didn't understand anything at all. Because of the cycle of abuse, you are brainwashed into thinking you are doing something wrong."
Pyron said it is common for the abuser to make the victim feel guilty, shifting the responsibility away from themselves.
"Batterers," she said, "rarely have a sense of accountability."
Morgan, who is grateful for the RCD program, said, "What Heidi helped me with was to understand the cycle and dynamic and to learn it wasn't my fault."
Morgan, who recently has begun his transition as a female-to-male transgender man, said he was in a "butch-femme lesbian relationship with a very femme girl." Their relationship ended "once and for all" when Morgan was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening wounds.
He had come to realize to abuse was an attempt on his life.
Financial assistance is available to victims of violent crime like Morgan. Through the Crime Victims Compensation Act, passed in 1979, he was able to get 100 percent state support for the $50,000 in hospital bills he incurred.
The program is supported through court costs from convicted offenders. In order to receive the compensation, Morgan said he has had to agree to participate in the legal proceedings against his former partner.
Pyron said it is a common myth that there is little to no domestic violence in relationships with same-sex partners, because the partners are assumed to be "more equal." She said further we tend to assume the butch would be the batterer in an abusive lesbian relationship, but that assumption is unfounded.
"Size and looks mean nothing" Pyron said.
The rate of domestic violence in same-sex relationships is about the same as it is against women in non-LGBT relationships. According to Pyron, about one in four LBGT individuals will be subject to abuse in their lifetimes.
"Martin Silverberg" had night terrors every night, afraid of being choked to death by his ex-partner. Like Morgan, he, too, was led to believe the abuse was always his fault.
He said the abuse started out slowly, building after a couple of years to physical confrontations with shoving, choking and gripping that led to a continuous array of bruises.
"You don't give up yourself all at once, but pretty soon they have complete control of your life.," Silverberg said.
He said abusers are all the same, wanting power and control, and when a victim tries to get away, the violence gets worse.
"The more I became independent, the more he went crazy," he said.
When Silverberg's employer noticed the hand-shaped bruising on his arms, it was the first time that his abuse became readily apparent to others. But Silverberg thought he was just clumsy and didn't at first recognize the bruises were due to the abuse.
Through professional counseling, he was able to finally realize that they were.
"I lived every day thinking I might die," he said, "and I came home one day and realized I had to get away."
Silverberg made his move and said his partner "beat the crap out of me." He was too scared to even file assault charges, even though the unspecified injuries were severe enough to take a month to heal.
Pyron said it is all too common that the abuser becomes the most violent when their partner is about to leave the relationship.
"When one stands up to that power and control, it increases the abuse by the batterer," she said.
Like Morgan, Silverberg said he is grateful to the FVP program at RCD.
"[Pyron] really opened my eyes a lot," he said.
The FVP support group that Silverberg attends has helped him to realize that abusers tend to all follow the same patterns of control and power. He said they are all "Prince Charming" at first, making you feel like they are one in a million.
But they aren't.
Silverberg is now living on his own and is back working. He plans on going back to school and said he is slowly reclaiming his life and those things his former partner took away from him out of jealousy and the need to control.
Though Silverberg said his ex-partner continues to stalk him from a distance, he is no longer in the grip of daily fear like before.
"I'm tired of running from him, and I know that I am over it," he said, adding that he knew he was empowered when he was able to walk away from his partner saying, "All of your lies are going to catch up to you one day."
While Silverberg feels optimistic for his own future, he thinks it is unlikely that his former partner will be able to change. RCD does not currently have programs to help batterers, but they coordinate with other LGBT-friendly agencies that do. Pyron encourages both batterers and those who have been abused to reach out for help.
With education and awareness programs, domestic violence in general has been steadily decreasing in the United States over the last 25 years. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, from 1993 to 2005, the annual rate of non-fatal intimate partner violence against women decreased from 9.8 per 1,000 women to 3.6. Correspondingly for non-fatal violence against men, the rate decreased from 1.5 per 1,000 men to 0.9.
The DOJ also reports that of all non-fatal intimate relationship violence against women, 3.1 percent were committed by other women. Correspondingly, 16 percent of intimate relationship violent acts against men were by other men.
Pyron said domestic abuse against transgender individuals seems to be the highest, with about 1 in 2 being abused in their lifetimes, though she said exact numbers are not known.
Pyron also said that there are no shelters available today for transgender men, transgender women or for cisgendered men. She said this is a "huge gap in service" that has yet to be filled.
("Cisgendered" is the term preferred by many to describe those whose gender identity coincides with their societally-recognized gender.)
The FVP program promotes autonomy, safety and longterm independence to primarily LGBT survivors of intimate partner abuse. Their extensive services include crisis counseling, a monthly support group, information and referrals to various agencies such as shelters, assistance with obtaining protective orders, advocacy and educational outreach.
Morgan advises others like him to get help right away. He said, "You need an experienced person to guide you through this process, because it can be so confusing."
"No one deserves to be abused," said Pyron. "We all deserve the healthiest relationships we can have. The FVP program is about saving lives and improving the quality of those lives as well."
The FVP program receives its grant funding through two primary sources, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and The United Way. HHSC requires RCD to raise a matching amount, and it needs community support to reach their financial goals.
For more information about the FVP program or to donate to the program, go online to RCDallas.org. Those in abusive relationships who are looking for help can call the 24-hour hotline at 1-866-620-9650.

|Group size
|Price in EURO Per pax
|Minimum 02 pax
Single Supplement: 277,00 EURO
Tour Itinerary Duration
9 Days & 8 Nights
- ShirazDay 1Arrive to Shiraz. Our guide is waiting to greet and transfer you to hotel. Overnight in Shiraz
- ShirazDay 2
We will begin our educational adventure with our Group Leader. Among the highlights we will see Narenjestan Garden, circa 1257 CE, Which includes richly decorated pavilion set among graceful trees. Then we will walk to the Vakil Bazaar, originally established in the 11th century CE, one of the finest and important bazaars of historical Iran. Then visit to the tomb of Hafez, Iran's greatest lyric poet, followed by the tomb of Sa'adi whose poems and tales are still known to every Iranian. Afterward we will take a field trip to the Arg-E Karim — Karim Khan Citadel — located in downtown of the city and named after a king of the 18th century Zand Dynasty who made this city his capital. We will learn about the citadel, King Karim Khan, and the dynasty. At the end we will visit the exterior view of Ali Ebn-e Hamze and Holy shrine of Shah Cheragh and enjoy its shining domes. Overnight in Shiraz.
- SHIRAZ-PERSEPOLIS-YAZDDay 3
After checking out of the hotel, we will board the vehicle and head towards Yazd, one of the most distinctive cities in Iran, renowned for its Persian architecture. En route visit Persepolis (Takht-é Jamshid) in the heart of the fabled Persian Empire. Once one of the greatest architectural wonders of the ancient world, it was founded by Darius the Great, who made it his capital in 518 BCE. Persepolis was a treasure city and one of the richest in the world. When he conquered it in 330 BCE, Alexander the Great took possession of 2,500 tons of gold and silver in addition to other fabulous assets. One night, he and his companions were feasting and drinking. As the story goes, they decided in their drunkenness that the royal palace should be burned in revenge for the Persian destruction of Athens a century earlier. And so the jewel of Persia went up in flames. Enough remains so that we can imagine its original splendor. We will see massive statues of winged bulls, a grand stairway wide enough for five horsemen to ride abreast, elegant columns, and hundreds of carved figures. Then we will stop in Pasargadae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to view the austere tomb of Cyrus the Great (c. 600-530 BCE). Alexander the Great paid his respects here because Cyrus was one of his role models as an ideal ruler. At night we will arrive to Yazd and check in hotel. Overnight in Yazd
- YAZD-ISFAHANDay 4
Today will be one of the more fascinating field trips in our program, with a local expert providing commentary. Situated in a remote area where two deserts converge, Yazd dates back to c. 3,000 BCE. It was a stop on the fabled Silk Road, but its location kept it safe from the ravages of war and destruction for centuries and so its local culture remained strong. The city is made almost entirely of adobe and mud brick. Beyond its importance as a desert "port" for trade, Yazd was one of the principal centers of the Zoroastrian religion. Zoroastrians venerate fire as a holy entity that comes from the supreme god, Ahura Mazda, and invokes truth in the hearts and minds of believers. We call their places of worship fire temples, where sacred flames were kept burning continuously. We will visit the most important remaining fire temple in Iran, Atashkadeh in Yazd. We will also see one of the so-called towers of silence where Zoroastrians took their dead to avoid contaminating the earth. Then in afternoon the field trip goes to Bagh-E-Dolatabad, a unique octagonal house with the tallest wind tower in the city. Here we get a demonstration of the effectiveness of these towers first hand. We'll then visit the Amir Chakhmaq complex, one of the most extraordinary in all of Iran. In addition to the distinctive 3-storey mosque, there are a number of other exceptional structures. We will also explore the renowned Yazd bazaar with its narrow, covered passages that feature products for which Iran is known including high quality textiles, carpets, sweets, nuts, and much more. When we finish visit, we take the road to Isfahan. Less than 350 km drive with frequently stops en route. After arrive to Isfahan it will be relaxing to walk in the bank of famous Zayanderoud. Overnight in Isfahan
- ISFAHANDay 5
Iranians say that Isfahan, capital of the Safavid Dynasty from the 16th century on is "half the world." Our exploration, led by a local expert, will include two of the most impressive mosques amid a myriad of remarkable sites. At the center of the city is Naqsh-e Jahan, one of the world's biggest squares, created in the 17th century. The huge, open plaza is framed by a wall of arches and surrounded by the Masjed-e Sheikh Lotfollah and the Masjed-e Emam mosques. We will admire their magnificent architecture and tile-work. We will also walk through the Ali Qapu Palace with its enchanting music room and balcony overlooking the Maidan where the Safavid kings sat to watch polo tournaments. We will cross through Meydan and entre to the bazaar that was and is one of the most important elements of every Persian and Iranian city, sitting at the center of the neighborhood and social consciousness. The Isfahan Bazaar is one of the country's most famous. In addition to the stalls of textile and carpet merchants, makers of jewelry and handicrafts, vendors of spices, and much more.
- ISFAHAN-MATINABAD ECO RESORTDay 6
We will check out of the hotel and begin our motorcoach journey to Matinabad. But first we get to know Isfahan even better with field trips to several memorable sites. First is the magnificent Jame Mosque with its famous Uljaytu Mihrab of the Il-Khanid Period, artistic treasure stucco densely decorated with Quranic inscriptions and continue to visit Chehel Sotun, a pavilion constructed as a reception hall for visiting dignitaries by Shah Abbas II, and Hasht Behesht, an octagonal pleasure palace built a few years later. Proceeding to Matinabad, we will meet local villagers and before we sleep, we will experience Atashouni, gathering around a campfire to enjoy a starry night.
- MATINABAD-KASHAN-TEHRANDay 7
After camel riding and enjoy cycling (optional) in Matinabad, drive to Kashan—the "City of Carpets and Roses"—with a rich history and culture. After our arrival in Kashan we visit the Fin Garden. The garden is a historical Persian garden that contains Kashan's Fin Bath. Amir Kabir, the Qajarid chancellor, was murdered by an assassin sent by King Nasereddin Shah in 1852. Completed in 1590, the Fin Garden is the oldest extant garden in Iran. Continue to Tehran and stop at the entrance of Tehran to visit Imam Khomeini mausoleum. Check in hotel and overnight in Tehran.
- TEHRANDay 8
Today we will explore Iran's capital city — which is also its largest — with our Group Leader. Tehran has grown tremendously since it was reinstituted as the national capital and is now home to some 12 million residents. We will begin our exploration at Golestan Palace, the city's oldest historical monument and one of the most lavish. The palace was built around a garden. Its richly ornamented interiors feature artistic styles emblematic of the Qajar dynasty — also incorporating technological advances of the 18 th century — that have continued to inspire Iranian art and architecture. The palace complex houses the Versailles-inspired, mirror encrusted Marble Throne Hall used for the coronation of the last Shah, and an Ethnographic Museum. Next, we will explore the National Museum of Iran that preserves the country's historical and cultural record through the presentation of some 300,000 artifacts — the oldest dating back more than 30,000 years. Its two buildings are dedicated to pre-Islamic and post-Islamic periods. Highlights include everything from gigantic stone reliefs found in Persepolis to ancient coins and historic copies of the Qur'an. In the evening and for the last visit, we will go to Milad tower. A multi-purpose tower which gives you skyline view of Tehran. The last landscape of Tehran will be memorable of above. Overnight in Tehran

TÜV SÜD was involved in the introduction of the first technical inspection standards
Held annually on 14 October, World Standards Day is a global event honouring the efforts of countless experts and their commitment to uniform standards. TÜV SÜD's involvement in standards dates all the way back to 1881, when its predecessor organisation established Germany's first universal standards for the manufacture and inspection of steam boilers, and thus essentially laid the foundations for the standardisation of technical inspection. Today, TÜV SÜD and its staff of around 24,000 work all over the world, providing third-party compliance testing and verifying that products and services are in conformity with standards, thereby facilitating international trade.
This year's World Standards Day has the theme of "Standards Build Trust", which aligns closely with "Inspiring Trust", TÜV SÜD's anniversary theme. And no wonder, given our active association with standards and the similarities between our areas of operation: numerous organisations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the German Institute for Standardization (Deutsche Institut für Normung, DIN), work with expert committees to develop new standards. Compliance with these standards is then ensured by third-party testing and inspection organisations such as TÜV SÜD. TÜV SÜD is celebrating both the company's 150th anniversary and also – as the company is Germany's oldest TÜV organisation – 150 years of technical safety in Germany. On 6 January 1866, 22 companies in the Baden region of Germany established the Mannheim-based Association for the Inspection and Insurance of Steam Boilers (Gesellschaft zur Ueberwachung und Versicherung von Dampfkesseln mit dem Sitze in Mannheim). The idea caught on, and the establishment of the Mannheim association marked the birth of technical inspection in Germany.
Universal standards for the manufacture of steam boilers from 1881 onwards:
Around 15 years after the foundation of the first steam-boiler inspection association, similar organisations had sprung up all over Germany. At that time, experts were still free to apply their own interpretations of "orderly functioning"; even though the German Federation of Steam Boiler Inspection Associations had been in existence since 1873, there were still no binding standards for steam-boiler safety in place. However, between May and June 1881, the Federation and the German Association of Steel Manufacturers agreed on principles for material testing during the manufacture of steam boilers. These standards, known as "Wuerzburger Normen", were the first preemptive measures to be introduced by the technical inspection industry with the aim of minimising the likelihood of boiler accidents as early as the construction stage. Further standards with a similar purpose were approved in Hamburg in 1884, establishing guidelines for the calculations used in making boiler bodies. The first standards to ensure greater safety of industrial equipment were thus established.
Corporate mission as relevant today as 150 years ago
"Greater safety" was also the rationale behind the establishment of TÜV SÜD's predecessor organisation in 1866. The specific event that triggered the establishment of the organisation was a disaster that had occurred roughly one year earlier at Aktienbrauerei, a Mannheim-based brewery. The mission of the new organisation was to carry out regular steam-boiler inspections to prevent accidents in the future.
Today, TÜV SÜD has around 24,000 staff and a global network of operations – while remaining true to its roots. The company applies high-calibre expertise in testing technologies and products and ensures they are reliable, safe and sustainable. The concept of third-party technical testing and inspection has quickly established a firm footing in Germany. Striking a balance between technological progress and people's desire to feel safe and secure has become a societal need.

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biotechnology company with fully-integrated commercial and drug development operations with a primary focus in hematology and oncology, today announced that, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the company entered into an agreement to acquire Talon Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: TLON), a biopharmaceutical company based in South San Francisco, California, and expects to complete the acquisition within one day. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, Spectrum will pay Talon stockholders an aggregate upfront cash consideration of approximately $11.3 million and will issue 3 million shares of its common stock in exchange for the cancellation of all of the outstanding indebtedness under Talon's credit facility. Talon stockholders will also receive contingent value rights (CVRs) in an aggregate of up to $195 million in future cash payments from Spectrum upon the achievement of certain one-time sales-based milestones for Marqibo® and an approval-based milestone for Menadione Topical Lotion. There can be no assurance as to the actual value, if any, of a CVR. The CVRs will not be publicly traded. Through this acquisition, Spectrum will gain worldwide rights to Marqibo, an FDA-approved hematology product for the treatment of leukemia, as well as a Phase 2 product, Menadione Topical Lotion for the treatment of the skin toxicity associated with epidermal growth factor receptor anti-cancer agents, such as ERBITUX ®. Marqibo, is a novel, sphingomyelin-based liposome encapsulated formulation of vincristine indicated for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in second or greater relapse or whose disease has progressed following two or more anti-leukemia therapies. Vincristine, a microtubule inhibitor, is widely used in combination regimens for treatment of adult and pediatric hematologic and solid tumor malignancies. Spectrum expects to launch Marqibo with the same sales force that sells its current oncology drugs, FOLOTYN® (pralatrexate injection) and ZEVALIN® (ibritumomab tiuxetan) injection for intravenous use. "With this acquisition, we have added another drug that fits very well with our hematology and oncology franchise and addresses an unmet medical need for cancer patients," said Rajesh C. Shrotriya, MD, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. "In a registration trial in Ph- ALL patients who had all previously failed multiple prior therapies and, therefore, had limited treatment options, Marqibo, as a single agent, demonstrated efficacy that led to accelerated approval by the FDA. By acquiring the rights to Marqibo, Spectrum will be able to further leverage its current infrastructure and experience in hematology and oncology to help these patients. We are very excited about this potential transaction as it delivers both an important clinical treatment to cancer patients and compelling value to our shareholders."

I had Invisalign but I still have a gap between the front teeth and the top & bottom jaws are not closing perfectly. What can I do next? I don't trust the dentist who treated me before.
How to Close a Wide Gap Between my Front Teeth
Doctor Answers 8
How to Close a Wide Gap Between my Front Teeth
If Invisalign isn't doing the trick with you, and you don't trust the dentist, then certainly get another opinion from another dentist or orthodontist.
However, saying all of that, did you know that gaps can easily be closed utilizing porcelain veneers? This is an area where they really shine. Strongly suggest speaking with a cosmetic dentist about whether bonding or veneering would do the trick for you.
Some orthodontic cases ask too much of Invisalign
I have had patients look at before and after photos and feel the results were insufficient, yet their opinion of "not good enough" was asking for absolute perfection. Sometimes a very small imperfection may remain that braces of ANY sort cannot help. Some people ask for the impossible.
It is important to know in advance what counts as good enough to you and what Invisalign (or any method) can do. Sometimes expectations must be limited.
If you feel that your expectations were reasonable and were not met, then a second opinion (that involves an actual exam and not online advice) would be in order. You may find that what you need to finish the job may be fairly minor.
Learn more: http://www.drtimmerman.com/cosmetic-procedures/veneers/
Gaps can be closed with invisalign.
The gaps are there because the teeth were not held in place long enough. I hope you are wearing some sort of retainers. The bite can be adjusted so that it feels more even and should always be done after any form of tooth movement. Sadly you should go back to your DDS and voice your concerns so he or she can fix this problem.
You might also like...
Wide Gaps Between Front Teeth May Not Close with Braces
I am sorry you will not return to your dental provider. If you feel you can talk at all, go back and tell them your concerns. Sometimes Invisalign will only do so much and you need conventional braces to finish the job.
There can also be a bone that is keeping your front teeth from closing-You may need to see a Periodontist to look at the bone-If your front teeth won't close any more, you can 'bond' the space closed if there is a tooth discrepancy issue. A tooth discrepancy can mean that you have more space to fill on the top when the lower is perfect and vice versa.
Your bite should fit together. If you are done with the dentist you saw for your Invisalign, seek out the opinion of an expert-Make sure they are a orthodontist and see what they say. Good luck!
Teeth not coming together after Invisalign
The missing ingredient in most situations where goals are not achieved and confidence is lost is lack of COMMUNICATION. Invisalign does have its limitations. Your jaw may have grown or changed positions. The dentist may have different expectations than you. You should definitely talk to the dentist in a non-confrontational manner to see how the problem can be resolved. Do not hesitate to get another opinion from a highly qualified dentist or orthodontist that has done many comprehensive cases. Best of luck to you.
Ask your dentist again
You may need to consult with your treating dentist again. Some cases, especially canines, have more resistance to major movement. Your case may just be more difficult than others and your expectations were not met. Your best option may be to hang in there and take the advice of your dentist.
Only as a last option would seeking another dental professional be a good choice. If you are to that point, then it's time to seek a trusted dentist and get a comprehensive evaluation. A second opinion can only help and perhaps move you forward in your treatment goals.
Return to treating provider first, if results are unsatisfactory.
Hi Forever730!
You first should return to the dentist that provided the treatment for you, if he/she cant resolve the situation, then you could go to another dentist that is willing to assume Invisalign treatment. You might still be eligible for refinements or corrections depending on when you 'finished' treatment.
Good luck!
Dr. Alper
Still not perfect
First thing is to ask the doctor why your teeth are not the way you think they should be! If you are not happy with the answer then get yourself to an orthodontist who has a great deal of experience with Invisalign and see what he/she has to say
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Below is an excerpt from the official press release regarding the ceremony.
"After being nominated for six WAMi Awards, Karnivool took home a massive five awards. With more cake than they can chew, the Karnivool scored the WAMi Awards for Most Popular Act, Most Popular Live Act, Best Hard Rock Act, Best Guitarist (Drew Goddard) and Best Male Vocalist (Ian Kenny). The WAMi Award wins kick off a massive year for Karnivool, who are set to tour in the USA after their debut album Themata is released there through Bieler Bros Records."
Karnivool's debut album "Themata" will hit stores on April 10th. The first single of the same name is currently impacting stations across the country and can be heard on the band's latest e-card.
AOL Streams Live NIN, Saosin and Pagoda
AOL Music has concert highlights from Nine Inch Nails' 2006 'With Teeth Tour' that you can watch online.
On the not really-metal-but-has-a-heavy-vibe front, they also have a full stream of grunge-influenced Pagoda's new self-titled album as well as a "Sessions Under Cover with Saosin" feature. Ok, although Saosin have heavier roots, this feature might not be heavy at all given that it includes a cover of Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time' and some acoustic tracks.
Behemoth Start Lining Up Live Dates
Polish death metallers BEHEMOTH appear to be lining up select U.S. shows (most likely taking place around an appearance at this year's New England Metal and Hardcore festival). Dates released so far include:
April 28 - Philadelphia, PA @ Electric Factory w/ Dimmu Borgir, etc.
April 29 - New York, NY @ Irving Plaza w/ Cannibal Corpse, etc.
April 30 - Springfield, VA @ Jaxx
Also, BEHEMOTH are currently wrapping up the tenuous recording process for The Apostasy, "their most ambitious and epic offering yet." The new effort is being recorded in the band's hometown of Gdansk with Nergal (vocals, guitars) and longtime sound engineer Malta in the producers' chairs and is set for a late July release.
Wolf's 'Black Flame' To Get Vinyl Release
WOLF are happy to inform everyone that their latest release, The Black Flame, will be released on vinyl through the Swedish underground label Blackcave Records. Only 500 copies will be available through Blackcave mailorder, and the limited edition will be signed and numbered by the band. No release date is set at the moment, but it will be announced shortly. "There was never a doubt about releasing The Black Flame as a vinyl record, though we've been getting a lot of questions regarding the matter, we just wanted to wait for the right time to do it and we feel that we've reached that point now," the band said. "Vinyl records are very important for us and our fans and it is an important element of the heavy metal community. It's just like denim & leather - we're naked without it."
All That Remains Confirmed for Wacken
ALL THAT REMAINS, fresh off the band's first headlining tour in the US, have been confirmed for Wacken Open-Air. Check it out online [ www.wacken.com] for all the details.

Inked In Blood Guitarist Recovering From Illness
Inked in Blood guitarist Matt McDonnell had a recent brush with death but is recovering and doing fine. According to the band, McDonnell was found on the floor of his home February 11, "cold, sweating and barely able to breathe." He was taken to a nearby hospital, where, after being put into a drug-induced coma, he was diagnosed with acute pneumonia, pleurisy and a severe staph infection in his lungs. He was released Tuesday with strict orders to rest and recover for the next month and a half. McDonnell said the incident has given him "a new lease on life. I feel extremely lucky to have been given a second chance." The band will release its sophomore full-length LP this summer, and, once the guitarist is better, plan to tour in support of the outing.

We have never been more satisfied with the result of songs, theme and sound of an album as we were after mastering this one. The sound is insane! Totally crushing the last album!"
You can check out a small preview from the song "Feed My Revolver" (unmastered) and a small video taken from the included "The making of…" DVD. The full video for the song "Feed my revolver" is expected on the the band's official website eventually.

AS the summer holidays approach, most of us will be planning a break away with family.
But for many people with disabilities, holidays are not an option.
Yellow Submarine is a charity, based in Oxford, which provides opportunities for people with learning disabilities and their families and carers to benefit from safe, subsidised respite breaks and day trips.
Giving people supervised time away with their friends, new-found independence and a whole lot of fun, Yellow Submarine relies heavily on the help of volunteers and financial donations to work – and is the latest charity hoping to benefit from the Jubilee Fund for Oxfordshire.
The fund was set up in January by the Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF) and people and groups across the county are being asked to make a difference in their own communities, by donating money which will be given in a series of £1,000 grants to local charities.
Toby Staveley, 34, from Oxford, founded Yellow Submarine in 2008 after seeing his late uncle, who had Down's Syndrome, struggle with holidays.
He said: "My uncle wanted very much to go to Disney World in Florida, but for him that meant paying for a carer to go with him, her flight, accommodation, meals, everything, and for most people that is just not an option.
"My uncle loved to be with his friends and I saw Yellow Submarine as a way for people to enjoy time away with their friends in a far more economical way."
Father-of-two Mr Staveley added: "We usually take groups of five people with disabilities away together.
"All holidays are led by trained and experienced staff aided by volunteers. The group aims to provide a natural holiday environment, choosing not to use sterile care homes, but making a great point of staying in typical, but often breathtaking holiday cottages."
Ellen Coking's daughter Katy, 33, recently went on a Yellow Submarine holiday.
Mrs Coking, from Farmoor, said: "Katy loves choosing which holiday she would like to go on. The holidays also make her feel independent, and build her confidence."
Yellow Submarine has provided holidays to Cornwall and Blackpool and day trips to the Natural History Museum in Oxford.
During the summer it also runs a twice-weekly holiday club for 11- to 18-year-olds, and has just bought a minibus.
Mr Staveley said: "The cost of these holidays remains quite substantial and often those most in need cannot afford them, so the group relies on the help of volunteers and financial donations."
- To donate to the Jubilee Fund or to fundraise, email email@example.com, call 01865 798666, or drop into OCF's offices at 3 Woodins Way, Oxford. Or text JBLE 12 to 70070 with a donation. To apply for Jubilee Fund cash, visit oxfordshire.org
- To support Yellow Submarine call 01865 249662, send a cheque to Yellow Submarine, Room 8, 1st Floor, 9 Park End Street, Oxford, OX1 1HH, or log on to yellowsubmarine.org.uk

I'm so thrilled with the softness and absorbency of the prefold diapers! Perfect for my baby. Thanks Geffen!
Baby is drier, the cloth is so soft and keeps wetness away from his bottom. I really impressed with the savings since I made the switch to cloth. Thanks a lot Geffen.
I knew these were supposed to be soft, but seriously - I want a blanket made out of this!
This is my new go to night time diaper! It is so soft, and so absorbent!
They are really trim under my wrap covers and baby boy could wear actual age sized bottoms and onesies.
I cannot tell you how great these absorbed for my super soaker side sleeper. Not one leak at naps.
I love how absorbent these are! I never had a leak.
These pre-folds worked so well, even at night, that they are my new go-to insert to stuff in her night time diapers!
Loved these prefolds. Now I need to get more.
The BEST diaper we have EVER used. Period. SUPER absorbent.
It was very trim on him, in fact the most trim diaper we have used for night time.
We love these prefolds at night. He woke up dry and happy! These were extremely soft!
They kept his skin dry and absorbed everything. I am normally not a fan of prefolds but I love these. I have never had a prefold feel so soft.
I LOVE the absorbency of these prefolds! These are amazing for overnight use the most absorbent diapers I have ever used!!
They are amazingly absorbent for nights. I love that this is a prefold that is manufactured in the USA.
Love the softness and absorbency of the diaper. This will be my go-to (if they're clean) for night-time and long trips!
I was too excited to fully prep the prefold, but it still held up through the night! 12hrs w nursing multiple times & NO leaks.
By far, my favorite prefold is @GeffenBaby
Totally, completely, 100% sold on @GeffenBaby hemp prefolds for overnight. 1 PF, no doubler, 14 hrs, 2 bottles, NO LEAKS!
The GeffenBaby prefold is so trim I thought I mistakenly put a regular diaper in the overnight stack!
Your wipes are fast becoming favorites! Can't wait to try your other products
GeffenBaby it is my sole nighttime solution for my heavy wetter now.
Your quick absorbers fit wonderfully in our thirsties duo wraps! Even with 2 absorbers in the wrap it is still trim! We love them!
I am loving the new 5-layer hemp/organic cotton inserts I am now carrying from Geffin Baby! They are trim yet quite absorbent. I am happy with using one insert during the day, but at night I like to double them up :) These can also be placed directly against Baby's bottom with my newborn diapers for added absorbency.
I'm pleased to say the inserts I tried are quite absorbent, and nicely shaped, sturdy, and handy for including in a pocket or under an insert.
The trimness of the Absorbers allows for you to add one or two to a diaper without significantly increasing the bulk.
I am happy to say that even when wiping a very nasty 27 month old bottom I didn't get my hand soiled. It does look like the solid is going to "pass through" the single layer but it doesn't.
Geffen Baby prefolds when combined with their amazing Super Absorber Universal insert and stuffed inside a stay dry insert cover make for a successful nighttime solution for my little guy.
The first thing I noticed about this item is how soft it feels.
This is equivalent to a disposable in trimness. It's very trim and all his pants easily fit over this diaper!
They are generously size, very soft, trimmer then most and seemed very well made. They are different then other prefolds.
she slept about 8-10 hours with this worn both as a traditional prefold and trifolded in a pocket diaper.

I love using these Geffenbaby flats overnight in an Applecheeks envelope cover.
... these prefolds have been plenty absorbent for Everett's needs overnight. The Jersey prefolds are so soft I like leaving Ev coverless in them. Both are very absorbent and they have been wearing like champs for the past few months.
Never has a product surprised me as much as this one. It is so incredibly trim, soft, and absorbent as all heck.
My husband picked him up and asked if he was wearing a disposable.
The are durable enough to clean up the biggest messes, but thin enough to get into all the little nooks and crannies that babies have.
Not only is it incredibly absorbent, but the rumors proved true. These prefolds are LUXURIOUSLY soft. Could someone make a blanket out of these for me? Please-and-thank-you.
