text: Relocation applications are when one parents wishes to take the children and relocate to another part of Auckland, New Zealand or overseas. Overseas relocation is becoming more common particularly given that so many partnerships are inter country. It is not uncommon on the breakdown of the relationship for the parent who has primary care to seek to return home to their family.It is my experience that relocation cases are invariably distressing for all involved. It is therefore important whether you are the one seeking to relocate or if you have been served with Court documents, that you seek advice as soon as possible.Child Abduction is when one parent has, without the other parents' permission taken the child and left Auckland or New Zealand. It is important that you obtain urgent legal advice especially if your child has been taken out of New Zealand or you have reason to believe they are about to removed either from Auckland or New Zealand. I also have experience working with clients from other jurisdictions whose child has been brought to New Zealand.

Meet your new evolutionary cousin, the sea urchin. By analyzing the newly sequenced genome of the spineless creature, an international team of scientists found just how much we have in common with them.
The research could lead to new drugs for human ills.
"The sea urchin is surprisingly similar to humans," said George Weinstock of Baylor College of Medicine, co-director of the sea urchin sequencing project. "Sea urchins don't look any more like humans than fruit flies, but about 70 percent of sea urchin genes have a human counterpart whereas only about 40 percent of fruit fly genes do."
In a special report detailed in Friday's issue of the journal Science, research teams describe the genome of the purple sea urchin, revealing not only human-urchin similarities but also features such as the urchin's immune system, which far surpasses that of humans.
Spineless relatives
The sea urchin's pincushion look comes from a round inner shell, which is covered with spikes for spearing food and tiny tube feet used for creeping along the seafloor. They belong to the phylum Echinodermata, which includes starfish and sea cucumbers, whereas humans belong to the phylum Chordata, or all animals with backbones. Both the echinoderms and chordates belong to a larger group called the deuterostomes.
This relationship means sea urchins can serve as a model for understanding how the group of animals that includes humans split off and evolved different traits. For the genome project, scientists collected DNA from the sperm of a male California purple sea urchin, a species found along North America's west coast from Baja to Alaska.
After identifying 23,300 genes made from 814 million letters of DNA code taken from the California purple urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus), the team of scientists found that 7,077 of them were also found in humans.
Analysis of the sea urchin genome revealed a surprisingly unique and complex immune system, which could explain their lengthy life spans of up to 100 years.
"They live as long as we do, maybe longer, and thus must protect themselves," Weinstock told LiveScience. "So an elaborate set of defense genes would be necessary. What was absolutely unexpected was the finding that they had expanded the innate immunity branch of the immune system."
Whereas humans have an acquired immune system, in which our body must learn how to attach and destroy invaders once they enter the body, sea urchins are hard-wired to detect foreign bacteria and viruses and begin an attack.
This rich toolbox of sea urchin genes could lead to new drugs for combating infectious diseases. In fact, sea urchins carry genes associated with many human diseases, including muscular dystrophy and Huntington's disease.
Urchin senses
The sequence also helped scientists uncover complexities belied by the urchin's simple exterior. Sea urchins lack eyes and ears, but they sport genes associated with taste and smell, hearing and balance, the study found.
"Nobody would've predicted that sea urchins have such a robust gene set for visual perception," said Brown University's Gary Wessel, a member of the Sea Urchin Genome Sequencing Consortium.
Some of the visual sensory proteins are clustered on an appendage known as the tube foot and are thought to aid the processing of sensory information. "It is remarkable that the same sensory proteins are used in organs with such different structures in sea urchins and man," Weinstock said.
It's not clear, however, how the spindly creatures use the vision proteins.
"There is not a lot of light at the bottom of the ocean, so it is not clear what they might be 'seeing,'" Weinstock said. "This is certainly an area that will be studied intensively as a result of the genome project."

Parking: can we use citations to "re-educate"?
I almost fell out of my chair when I read the budget for the motorhome "re-education" campaign. Oh my GOD! $140,545 to put fliers on all the motor homes in Lakewood? Cant we use the same people that Dominoes Pizza and the real estate agents use to litter our doorstep with ads? Are they cheaper? Hey voters if you missed the election and the 35 newspaper stories on the motorhome parking issue in Lakewood were sorry but you're going to get a ticket. You deserve to get one for pure stupidity or living under a rock. Has the City Council lost all touch with reality?
The better part of the story (if believable) is that the city is currently spending $337,949 on parking enforcement? (And this does not include the do nothings at the Sheriff's dept. as they are too busy crime fighting to do parking). The only parking enforcement I have seen is on the few streets posted for no parking on sweeping days (like mine) I see the new white Honda Civic$ drive down the street and waive at the good people who slept in and did not get up time to move the car as the sweeper rolls by. No ticket! How nice! Great enforcement! On top of all that we are paying $337,949 for that service!! Here is a stupid question I am sure the city will not want to answer: Just what did the city collect in paid parking citations for the last 5 years? Something tells me its way south of $337,949. Also Lakewood somehow prides itself on the fact that it is a "complaint driven" parking citation system, meaning someone has to call the city to get a cite issued. That being the case $337,949 is even more outrageous. Good thing y'all just re-elected the two councilmen likely responsible for this long standing parking mess, now made even uglier by the waste of funds. We may need the fireworks companies to chip in here. LOL
Education effort will drive home new rules for RVs
By Karen Robes, Staff writer
Article Launched: 03/14/2007 10:26:27 PM PDT
The Lakewood City Council has approved a plan to educate residents about the new laws, set to take effect July 1, restricting street parking for RVs and trailers in the city. (Scott Smeltzer / Press-Telegram)
LAKEWOOD - There's something city officials want recreational vehicle and trailer owners to know, and they're planning to convey it in letters and on notices hung on RVs.
After July 1, Lakewood RV and trailer owners will face daily fines for parking on city streets without a permit.
The City Council earlier this week approved plans to educate residents, handle complaints and provide the staff and resources to enforce the new RV and trailer laws voters approved last November.
The city's annual operating budget for parking enforcement will be $478,494 - a $140,545 increase over last year.
The extra $140,545 includes the wages of the additional parking control officers, their uniforms and vehicle maintenance costs, said city spokesman Don Waldie.
There also are "one-time-only costs" of about $147,940, which includes public information costs ($20,056), the purchase of four new vehicles ($112,000), and additional equipment ($15,884).
Officials hope to get the more than 6,000 RV and trailers to voluntarily comply with the new rules and help lessen residents' requests for service.
"We're going to make every effort we can to make sure people are aware," Mayor Larry Van Nostran said. "We want to make it easier for people to abide by what the laws are going to be."
The new bans are among several efforts to quell concerns about the increasing number of RVs and trailers parked for long periods on city streets. For more than 30 years, the council has tried to balance the needs of RV and trailer owners and those who view the rigs and motorhomes as eyesores and traffic hazards.
The new laws require owners to obtain a maximum three-day permit to park on the street. Residents can get up to 16 permits annually but there must be at least a three-day gap between permits. The permits, which are free, can be downloaded online at www.lakewoodcity.org/
Beginning in April, the city will distribute hangers and mail letters to all RV and trailer owners registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The city will add 140 hours of enforcement time per week with two full-time and two part-time parking control officers.
The city will also have customer service liaisons and a part-time relief worker to handle resident service requests.
From July 1 through July 15, there will be a two-week warning period for offenders. After that, violators are subject to a daily $40 fine. A vehicle can be towed if five citations have been left unpaid, the grace period of 21 days has elapsed and notice to the DMV has been sent.

Delaware Post-Licensing COURSE
New Salesperson Module 2: Agreement of Sale/Buyer Representation
Much of your real estate training may have been geared toward sellers. Listings, as the thinking goes, are "where it's at." With a signed listing contract, you are assured of receiving a commission once the transaction closes. Not so with buyers, who may end up purchasing from someone else. There is no "For Purchase" sign you can hang on a buyer relationship in the same way you would hang a "For Sale" sign on your seller client's property. The exposures you do get to other consumers through your buyer clients are merely to listing brokers and their clients, the sellers, who obviously are already represented.
Earning a commission with a buyer client requires a buyer representation agreement, or at minimum an established basis of mutual trust and loyalty. New Salesperson Module 2: Agreement of Sale — Buyer Representation focuses on the ways in which you can create a mutually rewarding relationship with your buyer clients.
Within their first 12 months of licensure, new real estate salespersons in Delaware must complete 4 modules of continuing education on the following topics: Professional Standards in Real Estate, Agreement of Sale — Buyer Representation, Real Estate Documents — Seller Representation, and Real Estate Professionalism. This 3-hour course fulfills the Agreement of Sale—Buyer Representation requirement.
Course highlights include:
- Advice on how to prepare for and conduct an effective buyer presentation.
- A detailed explanation of the benefits of a buyer representation agreement, from the perspective of a buyer and broker.
- A description of the history of buyer representation, and the types of buyer agency that are possible.
- Step-by-step instructions on how to write a clear purchase agreement and estimated closing cost sheet.
- Key points illustrated through case studies and real world examples.
- Numerous resources for instant application and future reference.

Q: What is the Grace MD Connect/eVisit® app?
The eVisit app lets you connect with a pediatrician through easy-to-use, high-resolution, secure 2-way video conferencing for quick, convenient treatment.
Q: Why do parents/patients use Grace MD Connect/eVisit?
Parents use eVisit to connect with a board certified pediatrician for quick treatment and requests, such as an answer to a health question, urgent treatment for minor medical issues, or a follow-up appointment for your child.
Q: How can a doctor treat my child without a physical exam?
Your doctor actually doesn't need to do a physical exam to diagnose and treat many minor conditions. That's because knowing your child's medical history is considered "90% of the evaluation" when combined with the doctor-patient/parent interaction. How your child is feeling can be just as important to your doctor as the results of a physical exam. Plus, being able to see your child and view any picture uploads via eVisit gives your doctor the additional visual information needed to make a diagnosis.
Q: How does Grace MD Connect/eVisit work?
It's easy! If you're a new user, the first thing you'll do is create an eVisit account. Then, you'll answer a few questions
about your child and click the "request eVisit" button at your scheduled appointment time. A doctor will receive your request, and let you know when they'll be ready to see you. Once you accept the visit, you'll be connected to your doctor via 2-way video from your computer or smartphone. Your doctor will interact with your child, answer your questions, and, if needed, send a prescription to your preferred pharmacy.
Q: Can my doctor prescribe medication
Yes. If your doctor decides your child needs treatment, he or she will send your prescription electronically to your pharmacy so it's ready to pick-up when you arrive.
Q: Can Grace MD Connect/eVisit be used for medical emergencies?
No, Grace MD Connect/eVisit shouldn't be used for emergency care. If you have a medical emergency, please dial 911 immediately.
Q: Is my medical information secure?
Yes. The eVisit app is 100% HIPAA compliant, so any personal health information you provide regarding your child is completely safe and secure.
Q: Do I need any special equipment to use the eVisit app
You do need a few basics: a computer or compatible mobile device (tablet or smartphone), a webcam, and a microphone. If your computer or mobile device already has an integrated camera and microphone, you shouldn't need any extra equipment to get started.
Q: I'm not very tech-savvy. Is eVisit still for me?
Yes! The eVisit app was designed to be very user-friendly. Imagine Skype, but with a few more bells and whistles to give you and your doctor everything you need to have a successful visit.

Bright Green Waters of Lake Tana in Ethiopian Highlands – January 18th, 201212.1N 37.3E
The bright green lake in the center of this image is Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile and is the largest lake in Ethiopia. Located in Amhara Region in the north-western Ethiopian highlands the lake is approximately 84 kilometers long and 66 kilometers wide, with a maximum depth of 15 meters, and an elevation of 1,840 meters.
The Ethiopian Highlands are a rugged mass of mountains in Ethiopia, Eritrea (which is sometimes referred to as the Eritrean Highlands), and northern Somalia in the Horn of Africa. They can be observed more extensively upon opening the full image. The Ethiopian Highlands form the largest continuous area of its altitude in the whole continent, with little of its surface falling below 1500 m (4,921 ft), while the summits reach heights of up to 4550 m (14,928 ft).

Happy Holidays, I have read posts and threads, and I don't want this to be a DIY post. I am looking for all you professionals in the home building trades to give me any positive/negative feedback, ideas on new products/materials, new technologies out there, and most importantly where can I save "costs" when I present my house plans to a builder to cost out for Scope-Of-Work to subs/trades. Thanks to JT for giving me the suggestion of pulling out the HVAC system from my signed home construction contract, that way I can do my research and get the BEST system/s (costs$$$) for my main floor/walk-out basement areas. Please look over the plans (2 pages) and if you see anything that is waste or needs to be improved upon...I will take any and all suggestions. For example: 1) I really would like to see if it is feasible to use a whole house integrated electrical system so I can connect to a pc/phone/security cameras, and 2) Use 3-4 mini-spilt HVAC system (needs heat and cold) OR use two separate systems with zones for both floors.
P.S. It seems I can't attach my house plans for review, so please email me: No email allowed in the posts. Please see site rules.

Before Baby and Slim, there was another man who ran the rap game in New Orleans and that man was Master P aka Percy Miller.
Although the No Limit days are over and Cash Money/ Young Money is here to stay, P is speaking out on the label, specifically their front-men Baby and Wayne.
P goes into how one day they're going to get old and all those tattoo's are a big mistake:
"You look at Lil Wayne and Baby and you think they thinking about getting older? If you put tattoos on the top of your head and face… I get scared for them sometimes because what's going to happen when its over?"
He also says that instead of going to jail, Wayne should be a positive image for kids and promoting his education and taking control of every sponsorship path he had.
He also speaks on his brother C-Murder and how because of his actions and poor decisions, he's now jailed for a murder he allegedly didn't even commit.
P turns his Weezy/ Baby rant into a more important message though, that when it comes down to longevity in the rap world don't take the "hard rapper" approach, instead take the "Will Smith" approach, you'll last longer in the end.
Listen to the entire speech here and takes some notes, you might learn something. (Good looks to HipHopWired & WorldStar for the audio.)

The number of people losing their sight is on the rise - despite 75% of blindness being preventable, a report has revealed.
Data released by the National Coalition for Vision Health predicts the amount of people left in the dark will climb by 21% in the next seven years.
The report attributes the sharp rise in cases to a number of changing lifestyle factors, particularly our ageing population.
The findings were released as part of Age-related Macular Degeneration Awareness Week which runs from September 23-29.
AMD is the most common cause of registered blindness in Ireland, affecting one in 10 people over the age of 50.
The initiative, which is supported by a number of sight loss organisations, aims to increase public awareness of the disease and highlight the importance of early diagnosis.
Early symptoms include sudden onset of distortion of vision and blurring in the centre of a person's sight line.
Spokeswoman for Fighting Blindness, Anna Moran, said: "AMD Awareness Week is about empowering people to take positive steps towards looking after their vision health.
"Fighting Blindness funds world leading research into treatments and cures for blindness caused by conditions such as AMD and furthermore, we deal directly with those affected by sight loss, offering support, information and advocacy on sight loss.
"Along with our colleagues in the National Council for the Blind in Ireland, who are the front line service providers for vision impaired people, we are proud to be part of AMD Awareness Week and we encourage anyone interested in these issues to get in touch."
NCBI chief, Des Kenny added: "Because eyesight can start to deteriorate gradually in old age, too many older people put up with it, seeing the deterioration as just part of the ageing process. In so many instances that is not the case.
"To unnecessarily lose your sight because of failing to visit an optician, is one of the saddest mistakes a person can make and this is all the worse when eyesight can be saved through prompt diagnosis and treatment."
The test to detect the signs of AMD can be carried out by local opticians and eye doctors and can take place as part of a routine eye examination.
It is a simple, quick, non-invasive test which provides an immediate result.
Throughout AMD Awareness Week, free testing will be available at a range of participating opticians nationwide.
A mobile testing unit will also visit venues in counties Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Cork and Waterford.

Pablo Escobar's Son Has Found A Lot Of Mistakes In 'Narcos'
Warning: Narcos spoilers ahead.
Narcos has quickly become one of the most exciting and anticipated shows of 2016, but Pablo Escobar's son has a bone to pick with its historical accuracy.
The show's second season finally reached Netflix a little over a week ago, and after receiving critical praise, they've already commissioned a third and fourth season. But Sebastián Marroquín, son of the infamous Colombian drug lord, took to Facebook to call out the streaming service for its inaccuracies in depicting the life of his father.
Marroquin, who has spoken about his father on film and in his book, Pablo Escobar: My Father, listed off the mistakes in a Facebook post.
He described the twenty-eight points in detail, identifying at times what he described as lies about Escobar and his family:
Narcos 2 y sus 28 Quimeras.
Estimadas Amigas y Amigos, acá les comparto mi reflexión personal de la segunda temporada,…
Posted by Sebastian Marroquin on Tuesday, September 6, 2016
His post is a bit long, but the mistakes range from getting Escobar's football team wrong, to falsely portraying his mother, and detailing how a trip to Germany was entirely different.
Marroquin also describes his uncle, Carlos Henao, as an architect and not a drug dealer. He describes him as 'a great man, a hard worker, honest, noble and good father of the family'.
Another issue Marroquin points out is how Escobar was pictured as attacking rival drug lord Gilberto Rodriquez's daughter at her wedding, but Marroquin explained that he never had an altercation with any member of the Rodriquez family.
Like many other TV shows and films based on a true story though, the show's creators have made clear that they've never depicted the entire truth, with many aspects being exaggerated for dramatic purposes.

IDB Invest loan for Republic Bank Trinidad and Tobago to help small businesses
The Honourable Camille Robinson-Regis, Minister of Planning and Development is announcing for public information that the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has signed an unsecured subordinated loan to Republic Bank Limited, Trinidad and Tobago in the sum of US$75 million, with a tenor of up to seven years. This signing took place on Thursday May 9th, 2019 at the IDB's headquarters in Washington DC, USA. Minister Robinson-Regis is also a Governor on the IDB's Board of Governors.
The objective of the loan agreement is to grant financing to Republic Bank Limited to support its capital structure to finance its digital integration process, increase the size of its retail portfolio by providing loans to local Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and medium income mortgages. Complementary advisory services will be provided through Technical Assistance to help Republic develop an Environmental and Social Management System, as IDB Invest identified a need to improve the Republic Bank's capacity to identify and manage the Environmental &Social risks associated with its lending activities.
This is the largest operation in the Caribbean in recent years and the largest for Trinidad and Tobago. It opens up multiple opportunities for ongoing partnership with IDB Invest and Republic Bank Ltd. This operation re-establishes a business relationship between IDB Invest and one of the long standing and leading financial entities in the country that has a strong domestic and regional presence.
Minister Robinson-Regis lauds this historic signing as a great contribution to economic development. In terms of its impact, Trinidad and Tobago is considered the regional financial center for the English-speaking Caribbean, with a well-capitalized and financially healthy banking sector, however 'access to credit' for businesses and investors is ranked among the top three challenges, and viewed as one of the main obstacles to SME growth. The Small and Medium Business sector, which represents approximately 30% of the GDP, stands to benefit from much needed access to finance and increased support of local commercial banking, wherein historically large commercial banks tended to overlook the needs of the sector not recognizing the returns and the multiplier effects of these businesses.
The Ministry of Planning and Development is the focal point of the Bank's activities in Trinidad and Tobago and promoting private sector development is one of the 3 strategic areas of focus of the IDB's current Trinidad and Tobago Country Strategy for fostering greater economic diversification. This is also closely related to Trinidad and Tobago's National Development Strategy, Vision 2030, which focuses on Building Globally Competitive Businesses as one its main pillars.

Lock 17, Tottenham Hale
Project Description
Next release - January 2020
Key points
Lock 17 is situated off Ferry Lane, close to Tottenham Hale rail and underground stations. The site offers a major regeneration opportunity and plans for the scheme to include up to 500 new homes, modern business space and canal-side public realm. Lock 17 has been designated as one of the Mayor of London's Housing Zones, meaning the site will make an important contribution to the Mayor's and the Council's aspiration for 2,000 new homes in Tottenham Hale. RISE is a wharf-style building consisting of 141 properties spanning 21 storeys, accessed by a spectacular double height entrance lobby, this waterside development is built to make the most of its location. Most properties will benefit from water or far reaching views across London and all have their own private balcony. As part of the new Lock 17 development, RISE provides an unbeatable waterside location, just a five-minute stroll from Tottenham Hale stations and the Walthamstow wetlands.
In addition to the homes, the scheme also will include a new bridge across the Lee Navigation, providing a vital new link through to the site, as well as enhancements to pedestrian routes. Residents also will be able to benefit from access to the Paddock Community Nature Park which will play a key role in the Council's new 'Green Grid Strategy' which seeks to improve this space for the local community. With easy access to tranquil open spaces and public transport, RISE offers the perfect balance for city living.

One of the 20th century's most innovative physicists and science communicators died last Friday, April 22nd, at age 89. Philip Morrison will long be remembered as a designer of the first atomic bomb, a lifelong advocate for nuclear disarmament thereafter, a pioneering figure in high-energy astrophysics and cosmology, an originator of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and a public explainer of science through his numerous books and articles, his film "Powers of Ten," and his PBS television series "The Ring of Truth."
In 1945 Morrison helped to assemble, with his own hands, one of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then was part of the team that surveyed the cities a month later. The experience "stamped him for life," fellow MIT physicist Kosta Tsipis told the New York Times yesterday. Morrison went on to work in high-energy astrophysics, including the origins of cosmic rays. In 1959 he coauthored the seminal paper in Nature establishing the plausibility of what came to be called SETI — using radio telescopes to search for evidence of other civilizations among the stars. He authored a long-running column in Scientific American with his wife Phylis, who died in 2002. See further obituaries by the Planetary Society (which he advised since its 1980 founding) and the New York Times.

Unions pour millions into Labor's coffers
- Written by Senator Cash
Figures released by the Australian Electorate Commission today lay bare the extent to which Bill Shorten and the Labor Party are owned by unions that they continue to seek to protect from greater levels of scrutiny and accountability.
Today's AEC figures reveal that in 2015/16, the ALP received approximately $10 million in donations from unions. In addition, the union movement declared campaign expenditure of $16.5 million in support of the Labor Party.
These figures include approximately $1 million from Australia's most corrupt union, the CFMEU, whose shameful record of lawlessness was defended by the ALP through its opposition to the restoration of the Australian Building and Construction Commission.
Bill Shorten has been given millions in cash and support by his union masters. In return, he has repeatedly sold out the interests of honest union members and hard-working Australians, including:
· Opposing the Registered Organisations Commission ,which will provide strengthened protections for members of registered organisations;
· Defending the indefensible actions of the lawless CFMEU;
· Attempting to crush 60,000 Victorian Country Fire Authority volunteers by supporting a hostile takeover by the United Firefighters Union;
· Siding with the Transport Workers Union in its efforts to put 35,000 family owner-operator truck drivers out of work through the so-called Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal; and
· Repeatedly putting the interests of dishonest and self-serving union officials ahead of the very members they purport to represent.
In 2015/16, Australian unions paid $26 million to own and control their own political party. In Bill Shorten, they now have a leader who is more craven in his willingness to bow to union control than any previous ALP leader.
It is Australians who pay the highest price for Bill Shorten's weakness in allowing the interests of union officials to trump the interest of all Australians.

|Home > Evidence for dielectric aging due to progressive 180 degrees domain wall pinning in polydomain Pb(Zr0.45Ti0.55)O-3 thin films
An evidence that the dielectric aging in the polydomain Pb(Zr0.45Ti0.55)O-3 thin films is controlled by progressive pinning of 180 degrees domain walls is presented. To provide such a conclusion, we use a general method, which is based on the study of the time evolution of the nonlinear but anhysteretic dielectric response of the ferroelectric to a weak electric field. A thermodynamic model of the ferroelectric system where the dielectric response is controlled by bending movements of pinned 180 degrees domain walls is developed. Within this model, the nonlinear permittivity of the ferroelectric is expressed as a function of the microstructural parameters of the domain pattern. It is shown that by using the analysis of the time evolution of the nonlinear permittivity, it is possible to estimate changes in the concentration of the pinning centers that block the movements of the 180 degrees domain walls during aging in polydomain perovskite ferroelectrics.

Interaction of Mechanics and MathematicsVariational Principles of Continuum Mechanics: II. Applications [1ed.]3540884688, 9783540884682
January 30, 2020 | Physics | No Comments|
Author : Victor Berdichevsky (auth.)
Description:The book reviews the two features of the variational approach: its use as a universal tool to describe physical phenomena and as a source for qualitative and quantitative methods of studying particular problems.Berdichevskys work differs from other books on the subject in focusing mostly on the physical origin of variational principles as well as establishing their interrelations. For example, the Gibbs principles appear as a consequence of the Einstein formula for thermodynamic fluctuations rather than as the first principles of the theory of thermodynamic equilibrium. Mathematical issues are considered as long as they shed light on the physical outcomes and/or provide a useful technique for the direct study of variational problems. In addition, a thorough account of variational principles discovered in various branches of continuum mechanics is given.This book, the second volume, describes how the variational approach can be applied to constructing models of continuum media, such as the theory of elastic plates; shells and beams; shallow water theory; heterogeneous mixtures; granular materials; and turbulence. It goes on to apply the variational approach to asymptotical analysis of problems with small parameters, such as the derivation of the theory of elastic plates, shells and beams from three-dimensional elasticity theory; and the basics of homogenization theory. A theory of stochastic variational problems is considered in detail too, along with applications to the homogenization of continua with random microstructures.

If you can, I'd recommend getting yourself a copy of today's The Times, going to page thirteen of the T2 suppliment and having a look at Rachel-Campbell-Johston's thought provoking article talking about feminism and the arts. (You have to subscribe to The Times online so I can't share a link.. but you can join for twenty four hours for one pound).
I find it as difficult to solidify my beliefs about feminism as I do my thoughts on dance, and while I don't agree with everything in the article, I feel its important to bring the topic of feminism, as well as the role of art and the female artist in highlighting and challenging issues, to the minds of young women.
As the article says, the feminist movement has won many battle, but has not yet won its war - I may have enough freedom to go and do a degree in dance, but on more than one occasion when telling men that I am a dancer they, sometimes seriously, sometimes jokingly, ask 'pole'?
More reading suggestions....
If you do subscribe to The Times I would highly recommend you look up Caitlin Moran's column, and her piece entiled 'Fear and Loathing in Front of The Mirror', for some of the best writing about female body issues I have ever read.

Twinkle - Groovy Sweater Dress KAL anyone?
Hi Becca,
I have ordered the yarn for the Groovy Sweater Dress and can't wait for it to get here so I can start! I'm already a little confused, though, because there are 3 needles listed, but the pattern only refers to the "smaller needles" and the "larger needles". Have you figured out which needles are supposed to be used where? How far are you and has it been tricky so far?
Went to see what this looked like and found the corrections page. Hope this is helpful.
Hi - I am currently knitting the groovy sweater dress and am completely stuck at the instructions after the lattice cables (beginning decreases and rib stitching). Have you had any luck?
I am about to start doing the ribbing but am also stuck. I am knitting the size S. Can't understand how it is possible to decrease 28 stiches in the reverse stitches. Have you managed to do this?
Thought I'd chime in since I have already knit the groovy sweater dress. In the small, it is not possible to decrease to the 28 and have the top "vine come out of the center of the two knit stitches. It is an error in the pattern according to an email I got from someone at Classic Elite.
One more thing I want to mention is about the sizing. I am a size 4 or 6 (5'7'' 120 pounds) and I made the small. I have worn it and feel the top is too tight to be comfortable. Also I don't like it if the knitting looks too stretched out. That is just my personal opinon. I think I am going to rip out the top and start again from the ribbing and make the top part a medium. I will be doing the sleeves short sleeve and wear a very thin long sleeve shirt under it.

The new Guzzi appeared as a very simple model, both mechanically and by lead: the commands are few and all at hand, although in some cases antiquated (as the accelerator, controlled by a lever on the handlebars, or the change in with hand lever on the right of the tank). The 65 Mandello was an immediate commercial success and was also raced by the likes of Umberto Masetti, who took one to a victory in Reggio Emilia in 1947.
The following year, the changes were more numerous, like the swingarm was strengthened, while the light switch was moved to the handlebars, the tail was changed and the sprocket cover increased.
This lovely Guzzino we have here, is a C model and a very rare due to it being in original condition and unrestored.
This is a matching number example and was totally restored at the end of 2015 by the Italian Guzzi specialist Manfrinetti. This is a perfect bike to emulate those that rode in the 1950s.

One of the most popular and home grown SUV prevalent in the Indian market is Tata Safari. This vehicle has the distinction of being one of the top selling SUVs from the formidable stables of Tata Motor group. It can be considered as one of the most economical SUVs owing to its reasonable Price and decent fuel efficiency. The company now is gearing up to introduce a face lifted and superior version of their older stalwart, which will now be christened as Tata Safari Storme. Quite a few Tata Safari Reviews state that this older version, which was launched around 14 years back still have a lot of rock solid fan base and numerous buyers in the market. But, with this new Tata Safari Storme coming in, the company is expecting to propel their sales and market share to a different level altogether.
That was what the company is expecting and a few details about the older version. What we can expect from this new Tata Safari Storme is an aristocratic and sturdy exterior, which has undergone quite a few changes. The front façade is now looking bolder with an aggressive radiator grille, which also houses the company's insignia. The Xenon powered projector lamps are fitted in the headlight cluster with bright fog lamps integrated in the newly designed front bumper. The rear has a major change with the spare wheel going under the chassis, which is making this SUV look smarter and complete. The interiors, however, are really done up really well, starting from the plush leather seats, which are exceedingly comfortable and the internal plastics and components are better than the older version. A new advance stereo system has been incorporated and the instrument cluster is very bright and attractive. The drive is amazingly smooth and with its perched up seat, you can view other smaller cars from a different view on the whole, which makes u feel like an aristocrat. All this comes at a good price, but this new Tata Safari Storme is expected to be priced in the range of Rs. 10 lakh.
The heart of this new Tata Safari Storme is a commanding 2.2 litre DICOR diesel mill with 140 Bhp of power output along with a torque of 320 Nm. The pickup is excellent and the gear shifts are smoother than before thanks to the G76 MKII 5-Speed manual transmission gear box as stated in a couple of Tata Safari Storme Reviews. This new SUV is said to be fitted with several good quality safety features such as six airbags, traction control, ABS with EBD, electronic stability program with brake assist and many more protective features for the occupants. In conclusion, this new SUV will definitely generate a very good response for the company and might become the leader in its segment very soon after its launch. Apart from this, a few other SUVs such as New Chevrolet Captiva, Renault Duster, Audi Q3 and Premier Rio Diesel are also going to be launched in the coming months and there will surely be chaos in the SUV segment.
I shared that 2012 Mercedes Benz M Class Anticipated to Launch on 15th May and Nissan Sales Move up.

You have cared for your beloved aged or ill pet day after day, and now it seems that the end of the journey is near. And now may be the time for you to make the hardest decision during your journey- Is euthanasia right for my my pet? And if so, when will the right time be? Will I know the signs?
The question of whether to help end your pet's suffering through euthanasia can be one of the most difficult decisions you will ever make and many factors do play a role as to when the right time is for this decision to be made.
Making this decision can be clearer in some cases than in others. Sometimes a pet shows clear signs of distress and/or suffering and you may feel confident, although heartbroken, about making an appointment for euthanasia. More often though, quality of life indicators are far less clearer, and signs and symptoms can be more complicated and harder to detect.
Below are some questions and things you should consider to help you decide when the time has come to say goodbye, understand your options and prepare for your pet's end-of-life.
Consider your pet's quality of life at this time.
- Is there more pain than pleasure in your pet's life now? Talk to your veterinarian about what signs you should look for to determine your pet's quality of life and how to tell if the end is near.
- Can anything more be done? Consult your veterinarian to determine what options for veterinary medical treatment he or she can provide to support your pet's continued care and quality of life, or if nothing more can be done.
- Who can you talk to? Connect with family, friends, loved ones, or a Day By Day support group, to help you make decisions about your pet's quality of life and end of life care.
View our Quality of Life page for more on what to look for in your pet's quality of life.
If you still are unsure, don't hesitate to further consult with your veterinary team or get a second opinion and/or euthanasia consult from another veterinary team. Ask all the questions you need to in order to make an informed decision.
And, keep in mind that creating plans for your pet's end-of-life does not mean that you are giving up hope. Preparing for that time is part of your emotional journey as a pet caregiver.

Get In The Game: Use Your Head
March 16, 2007 by zac439 | 3 Comments
Filed Under Announcements, Gaming, Technology
Emotiv Systems has recently unveiled a revolutionary creation at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. This new gadget, nicknamed "Project Epoc", can literally take commands from you- without a controller.
The new product can do many things- move objects in a virtual world, show facial expressions based on your mood, respond to emotions like anger or calm, and much more, reports Randy Breen. Randy is the Chief Product Officer of Emotiv Systems, and has unveiled the product to be as easy as plugging in a USB cord, literally. The device can actually hook up to anything with a USB port- consoles and PC's alike.
But how does it work? The system takes information based on your brain's electrical activity, and routes it into a receiver, which decodes it and then follows appropriate action. Oddly, adults are having a harder time using it than children. The device works better for children, who believe more in imaginary things like telekenetics. Adults are less likely to believe in such things, and as a result have a mindset that it won't happen. Thus, there is a learning curve for most adults.
The company said that the system will be out in 2008, and has released a developer's kit. They plan on making applications for much more than just games, from security to medical fields, this new invention could be applied just about anywhere. Emotiv, founded in 2003, is based in Sydney, Australia. It was founded from a university project, and has grown since.
Many feel this is just the beginning. Further developments could take online gaming to a whole new level, and fully immerse the gamer in an experience of real life. These features are probably a few years off still, but eager gamers everywhere anticpate its release in 2008.

Mokhiber: There is an argument Ari, that any patients' bill of rights bill, no matter what the approach, is bound to fail. This argument was put forth most recently by Marcia Angell, who is the former head of the New England Journal of Medicine, in a New York Times column a couple days ago, "A Wrong Turn on Patients' Rights."
She argues as follow. She says: "It is becoming apparent to nearly everyone that our experiment with private managed care has failed. The system is imploding and a patients' bill, by increasing costs, will accelerate its demise."
Then she says: "The answer is a single-payer bill that covers everyone and more efficiently uses the resources we allocate to health care. This is tantamount to extending Medicare to all Americans."
Two questions: one, do you believe that this private system has failed.
And why not Medicare for all?
Ari Fleischer: The President believes very strongly that people should have the right to have choices in health care marketplace. And for some people they will voluntarily want to have managed care. For other people, they will want to have fee-for-service care. For other people they will want to have PPOs -- provider sponsored organization care. For some people, medical savings accounts make sense.
But the point is, health care should be in the hands of consumers. They should be empowered to be able to enter the marketplace to get the insurance and the health care that they think is best for them and their families.
There are many people in this room who wrote extensively about senior citizens who lost their HMOs because HMOs do not have sufficient reimbursement rates, which Congress fixed, and President Clinton signed into law late last year to increase reimbursements for HMOs.
And many seniors said thank you to President Clinton and the federal government, because it reserved the option that they themselves chose. And through HMOs, many seniors have access to drugs, for example, which they cannot get through Medicare.
So, the President believes the answer is empowering consumers with choices.
Mokhiber: But just to follow up, if in fact that is the argument, why not just repeal Medicare and give the seniors total choice?
Ari Fleischer: Seniors are increasingly receiving choices as a result of some of the reforms created in 1997 that President Clinton signed into law, seniors did for the first time have more choices available to them under Medicare. Seniors, for example, for the first time, have medical savings accounts. Seniors, as you indicate, are in HMOs, if they want to be in HMOs. Seniors have to pay Medigap, however. Medigap is very expensive.
Mokhiber: Why not repeal Medicare?
Ari Fleischer: The President believes very deeply that we maintain Medicare. He believes it so deeply that he wants to make sure the system is there for younger workers, young people, and that's why he proposes to save Medicare, because Medicare, like Social Security, is going bankrupt.

Hit the ground running in our newest workspace, by watching this multi-faceted QUICK TIP! Sheet…
Jamie Scherer
Congratulations to all the winners and entries, some amazing work!
What an awesome Fusion 360 community we have! There were so many great submissions, you really made it difficult to select the winners. I would like to thank everyone who took time out of your lives to participated in the Fusion 360 sheet metal challenge #Fusion360sheetmetal. Not only did inspire others by displaying what can be done with the newly released functionality, but it created a unique sense of pride among the team.
Without further ado, I am honored to announce the winners of the contest.
During the contest there was some great discussions and comments from the community I also wanted to share.
We also had a meetup in Portland, OR where people were able to work on their designs. We had a great turnout and the Fusion 360 team was impressed with what people were able to come up with in just an hour.
The next step is for us to go to Pier 9 with Eric, where we will make the bumper. I can't wait to share with you the process of manufacturing the bumper, along with the final design on the truck!

When our time in Cambodia was coming to an end, we made our way to The Tea House, an urban hotel, for a little R&R. The following few days were spent relaxing in the spa, sipping cocktails by the pool and, of course, indulging in many fine teas. If you are looking for a little luxury or an escape from the busyness of city life then here is an insight to where you can find that perfect escape!
On arrival
Although in the heart of the city, The Tea House feels a world away from that reality! With its modern Chinese design you are immediately drawn away from city life and into an oasis. Greeted with complimentary fresh fruit drinks and exemplary service we instantly fell in love with the place.
The room
Rooms are equipped with all the necessary features – complimentary drinks, a mini bar, TV, WiFi, toiletries and not to mention the comfiest bed we have slept in whilst visiting Cambodia! The rooms are extraordinarily clean and in keeping with the modern Chinese design found throughout the hotel.
If you are wanting to make your stay that bit little more special, the following services are available. Enjoy a ride in their classic Jaguar, have a babysitter for a romantic night out or request a flower arrangement to be made. The WiFi service is extremely fast, by far the finest we've used in South East Asia. Other services include a spa, airport transfers, laundry and tour bookings to name just a few.
*We personally recommend getting a full body massage – just WOW!
Staying in
The Tea House provides a zen like atmosphere, one that you wont want to leave. Food is reasonably priced and delicious, particularly the tea themed dishes. The tea garden has a tranquil feel about it – surrounded by flowers, lanterns and a goldfish pond it's a lovely place to relax. The souvenir shop sells authentic Cambodian made products which make for perfectly unique gifts. The swimming pool, surrounded with fruiting trees and flowers provides a welcomed escape from the chaotic city of Phnom Penh. You don't go on holiday to stay in, however, The Tea House certainly tempts you to do so.
Getting out
If you can bring yourself to leave the hotel, Phnom Penhs main attractions are right at your fingertips. The Royal Palace, the National Museum, Killing Fields and S21 are just a short tuk tuk ride away. A price guide can be found at reception detailing the maximum tuk tuk cost for all popular destinations. Little aspects like this make your stay here all the more relaxing.
COST: Rooms start from $33 USD per night
BOOK: https://maads.asia/teahouse
A very large thank you to MAADS for arranging our stay and a special thanks to The Tea House for hosting our visit! It was a lovely little end to our time in Cambodia. As always all opinions are our own!

BANGOR, Maine — "Argo," a movie about a small group of U.S. Diplomats who escaped capture during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, has brought back memories for Brewer native Franklin D. Bothwick, who also was forced to flee during the Iranian uprising.
Bothwick, now 78, went to Iran in January 1977, after retiring from the U.S. Air Force the year before and joining with Bell Helicopter, which was hired by the Shah of Iran to build nearly 300 helicopters for the Iranian Armed Forces.
He was in Kermanshah, Iran when the rebellion began months before 52 Americans were taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on Nov. 4, 1979. As the hostages were taken, six others managed to slip out a side door and take refuge at the home of a Canadian ambassador — the storyline "Argo" is based upon.
"Things started happening a little bit, people started rioting and whatnot," said Bothwick, who now splits his time between Bangor and Florida. Then, in "1978, on New Year's Eve, we were up on the rooftop celebrating New Year's — Happy New Year's — and then all of a sudden tracer bullets were going over our heads. As you looked over in the distance, half of Kermanshah was burning."
Shortly afterward, the western Iranian city was surrounded by tanks, but they never fired a shot while he was in the area, he said.
The Shah fled to Egypt in mid-January 1979, and shortly afterward locals were calling for the return of Ayatollah Khomeini, who had been sent into exile by the Shah 14 years before.
"At that time, Bell Helicopter and the State Department issued statements saying there wasn't anything wrong," but by February 1979, women and children were being evacuated, he said.
"In March, old Frankie decided it was time to depart," Bothwick said.
He got onto a bus for the ride into Tehran where he and others from the company were booked into a hotel about half way down the main boulevard through the city.
"We were checked in real quick like and then they said, 'Everybody upstairs. Up, up.' The grates came down in front of the hotel. We weren't allowed in the lobby or the first floor," Bothwick said. "That night and the next day thousands and thousands of people marched down the main boulevard. This went on for three days."
Finally, it was time to go. A KLM Royal Dutch Airlines 474 was waiting at Tehran Airport to get the foreigners out of the county.
"We were leaving [the hotel] by twos in taxis or automobiles with windows covered so nobody could see you," Bothwick said.
Once aboard the airplane, "The pilot started the engines and everything and was getting ready to taxi off. He came over the interphone and said, 'We are not allowed to leave at this time.' He couldn't explain why," he said. "All of a sudden, we saw the red brigade, which is Khomeini's police force, come in with AK-47s and board the plane.
"I'm saying to myself, 'I'm in deep kimchi.' I've got my American passport, my American military ID and so forth," Bothwick recalled.
After an hour and a half of worry, the gunmen left and the plane was cleared for takeoff.
Shortly after taking flight, the pilot announced, "We have just passed the point of no return. We're in Turkish airspace," he said.
The plane landed in Amsterdam.
"We were the last plane to land due to a blizzard going on," Bothwick said. "I got snowed in at Amsterdam for three days. I was happy as stink on a new pile of manure just to be out of there with just the clothes on my back and a little AWOL bag."
After going to see "Argo," Paul Tardiff, who grew up in South Brewer with Bothwick and later worked at Bell Helicopters with him in Saudi Arabia during the 1980s, couldn't get his friend's story out of his head. He called the Bangor Daily News because he thought it was important that people in the area know that there is a local connection to the Iran Hostage Crisis.
"The ending of the movie is exactly how he came out of Iran," he said.
The 52 American hostages were held for 444 days, from Nov. 4, 1979, to Jan. 20, 1981.
