With the British exit from the European Union looming, the UK is looking to the auto industry to help boost their economy and secure jobs through the upcoming years. Today, Business Secretary Greg Clark and Transport Minister John Hayes announced the government investment of $136.7 million (£109.7 million) across 38 different automobile projects, as a part of the Plan for Britain.
These 38 proposed projects feature a focus on the next generation of both driverless and low-carbon emission cars. 24 of the projects are driverless-oriented and will received $38 million (£31 million) in Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) grants from the government.
According to Business Green, the projects include "cars and pods to transport passengers between Stockport train station and Manchester Airport; proposals to create vehicles capable of driving in a range of road environments; and work to develop technology which could make any car operate autonomously."
The projects were developed by some major motor vehicle players, such as BMW, Ford, and Jaguar Land Rover. The funds awarded will be match funded by the auto industry.
In the government press release, addressing the investments, Clark emphasized the prioritization of both autonomous driving and the environment:
Low carbon and driverless cars are the future and as a Government we are determined through the Industrial Strategy to build on our strengths and put the UK at the forefront of this revolution. Investment in this technology is an integral part of this Government's efforts, to ensure the UK auto sector remains competitive and world-leading.
The Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy also claims this will safeguard almost 2,400 jobs, so the British people definitely have a reason to be excited about the future of automobiles.

As per the circus folklore, it is believed that the trampoline was first developed by an artiste named du Trampoline who first nurtured the idea of using trapeze safety net as a sort of propulsion as well as a landing device. He experimented with various systems of suspension which in turn reduced the net to a practical size for unconnected performance. This report is of doubtful authenticity though trampoline-like devices were known to be used in shows and circus. Today, a trampoline can be called a big purchase and therefore, choosing the ideal trampoline is very important. From safety to pricing, there are various considerations to bear in mind when you buy trampoline online.
Choosing the perfect size:
This is the first and foremost thing to consider when you buy trampoline online and the most common sizes available are:
· 8-10 feet trampolines: An 8, 9 or 10 feet trampoline is ideal to be placed in a small ground or yard. The 8ft trampoline is lower to the ground and therefore it is important to consider the weight of the user before choosing this trampoline. If space and budget are not constraints for you, then a 10 feet trampoline is a better investment. All these sizes are recommended for casual usage by small kids.
· 12-feet trampoline: This is yet another good choice for those who are looking for a trampoline that will not dominate the available space but suitable enough to suit the requirements of an older child. It is best for multiple users as well as users with heavy weight.
· 14 and 15 feet trampolines: These bigger sized trampolines are perfect for big families and situations where many users would be involved. You can buy trampoline online if you have enough space as this size is safest for all trampolines.
Safety is an important consideration:
The safety enclosure of a trampoline is a crucial consideration when you buy trampolines online. It is recommended to make sure that the enclosure net is attached inside the springs in order to keep the jumpers away from the frame and spring. A tightly woven net enclosure is going to provide an additional strength and aid in ensuring the fingers are not stuck in the netting. Some trampolines also come with safety clips at the entry zip which come in handy while younger children are going to use the trampoline.
Frame and spring and their importance:
There are various options to take into account when you buy trampoline online Australia websites sell. When you are willing to maximise the durability of the trampoline, choose a galvanised steel frame as it will protect the frame from rusting. Galvanised steel frame with hammer-tone paint provides an ultimate protection though the weight as well as thickness of the frame affect the stability and strength of the trampoline. Therefore, you should choose the ones that fit your requirements. Plus, the springs also play an important role. The rule of thumb is that for higher and better bounce, there must be longer and thicker springs.
With these tips, you can buy an ideal trampoline or buy micro scooters (check: https://www.mrtoys.com.au/trampolines-659) for the younger members of your family.

Connecting to Sharepoint listsWhen you start LightSwitch you're likely to see a development environment you're already used to: Visual Studio. The IDE starts with the LightSwitch designer which gives you the possibility to either create a new table or to connect to an external data source. You may use a SQL Server database, a Sharepoint list or WCF RIA Services.
For the example in this post we'll choose a Sharepoint list. The example list contains a collection of books with fields like title, author, year and ISBN. In the next wizard step you are asked to provide the Sharepoint site address and the authentication credentials the LightSwitch application will use later on to connect to the list data. You have the choice between windows authentication or the specification of a separate user account. This enables scenarios where you have a service account to access a Sharepoint list and don't allow any other users to access the list directly via Sharepoint. They must use your application. In the final step, you will be presented with an overview of all available Sharepoint lists in the given site:
You may choose as many lists as you like. LightSwitch automatically detects dependencies between lists and imports all referenced lists as well. In the example the UserInformation will be automatically imported because the list of books contains the 'created by' and 'modified by' fields which hold a reference to a certain user.
After selecting the required lists you can finish the wizard. LightSwitch generates all the needed resources to access the list data. If you are interested, have a look in the file system after generation has finished. There you'll find a lot of files. For data retrieval and communication with Sharepoint binary XML with WCF RIA Services is used.
Building an applicationIn the solution explorer of the newly generated solution you see a logical view of the resources.
The logical view displays items to open the according designers either for editing the data sources or the visual screens used in the final application. You can switch to file view if you need to directly manipulate a file.
A click on the Books1 element opens the data source designer. The designer displays the data source in a table layout showing you all the fields of the source. In addition, it shows the dependencies to other source tables. At the top of the designer is a tool bar with possible actions. Here you can add new relationships, queries or user interface screens. In order to display the data in the application we'll add a new screen. Here you have the choice between several predefined view templates:
When creating a new screen LightSwitch automatically generates all the needed user interface elements and binds all data fields to them. So, after creating the screen, you have a full functional application without writing a single line of code. That's pretty cool, isn't it? Within the running application you're now able to edit list entries or even add new ones.
Add field validationIn the sample list each book has an ISBN field. This field is of type string with a max length of 13. These are the restrictions you can easily define inside the Sharepoint list. But there are other rules for a valid ISBN number. It needs to have a special appearance and the last digit is a checksum which needs to be computed. Doing these kinds of validation directly inside the list is possible but rather difficult to achieve. Why not doing it in our LightSwitch application? We just need to open the data source designer for our books list. In the tool bar at the top you find a drop down button named 'Write code'. When you select the appropriate field in the data source table and open the drop down you should see an entry that contains the field name plus underscore plus 'Validate' (e.g. ISBN10_Validate). Clicking on that entry opens up a code file with a newly generated method stub for validating the field:
partial void ISBN10_Validate(EntityValidationResultsBuilder results)
This method will be called whenever the user changes the field inside the user interface and leaves the according field. As a parameter you get an EntityValidationResultsBuilder. This class provides several methods to add error messages that will be shown to the user after validation. The implementation of the method is intentionally left blank for brevity.
In the user interface, if the user enters an invalid ISBN, a warning will be shown with the error message you provide in the validation method:
Adding computed fields
Sometimes you need a computed field in your data source that you want to display in the user interface. As mentioned earlier the books list contains the standard Sharepoint list fields 'created by' and 'modified by'. In the LightSwitch data source designer they are of type UserInformationList so that in the UI you will not see the actual name of the author of the list element. You only see if it is a person or a group but what you really need is the name. In order to achieve this you can add a computed property to the data source. In the sample it is called 'Owner'. Again in the 'Write code' drop down you find a method for the computation of the newly added field. Within that method you get access to all other fields of the data source in order to compute the needed value. In this case I just used the 'UserName' property of the 'created by' field:
partial void Owner_Compute(ref string result){
// Set result to the desired field valueresult = this.CreatedBy.UserName;
You cannot set the value of the owner field directly. That's why a reference to the value is given a parameter to the method.In the screen you can now easily add the new field to the user interface and it will be displayed with the computed value when running the application.

PlayStation Plus is an exclusive, subscription based, online service for the PlayStation 3. Being such a new service, there is a bit of confusion as to how one can subscribe to the service, and all the ways you can do so.
Many people are still wondering about how to get PlayStation Plus. There are currently two ways to do so, and the third way is in the works. One way to get PlayStation Plus is by taking a visit to the PlayStation Store. Upon arriving there, you will already see ad's that are promoting the PlayStation Plus service. After clicking on one of these ads, you will see that you can either pay by credit card or use a PlayStation Network card in order to purchase the membership. However, there are many gamers who do not have access to credit cards. Let's face it, many gamers are either under the age of 18 or dependent on their parents. So instead of paying via a credit card, focus on these two ways to be able to subscribe to this new service.
Membership for PlayStation Plus costs $17.99 per 3 month time periods and $49.99 every one year. If you were to pay by using funds off of a PlayStation Network Card, that means you would need to purchase a $20 PlayStation Network Card at the minimum. You can purchase one of these cards at your local Walmart, WallGreens and more. You can even order it over the internet. After making your order, though, you will need to redeem the code on the back of the card on your PlayStation 3. This code will give you virtual funds that you can squander. After receiving the virtual funds, you just order the PlayStation Plus membership and you'll actually receive it without having to use a credit card.
The second way, and soon to be the most popular way, of getting PlayStation Plus membership is by a prepaid time card. Sony has said that these cards are currently in development and will be available for purchase soon. But these cards basically serve the same purpose that the Xbox Live prepaid cards serve. You would purchase a PlayStation Plus prepaid card, and then you would notice a code on the back. When you redeem the code, you will be given your membership, without having to use neither a credit card nor a PlayStation Network Card. It's a much quicker and cleaner process then the previous two.
These are currently the only ways of getting PlayStation Plus membership. If you have any questions, be sure to leave a comment.
PlayStation Plus is an exclusive, subscription based, online service for the PlayStation 3. Being such a new service, there is a bit of confusion as to how one can subscribe to the service, and all the ways you can do so.

One of earliest farming sites in Europe discovered
|UC students Kassi Bailey (yellow shirt), Michael Crusham (blue shirt), and Kathleen Forste (red shirt) at work on the excavation [Credit: Image courtesy of University of Cincinnati]
"For Albania, there has been a significant gap in documenting the Early Neolithic (EN), the earliest phase of farming in the region," explains Allen. "While several EN sites were excavated in Albania in the '70s and '80s, plant and animal remains - the keys to exploring early farming - were not recovered from the sites, and sites were not dated with the use of radiocarbon techniques," Allen says.
"At that time (under communist leader Enver Hoxha), Albania was closed to outside collaborations and methodologies that were rapidly developing elsewhere in Europe, such as environmental archaeology and radiocarbon dating. The country began forming closer ties with the West following Hoxha's death in 1985 and the fall of communism in 1989, paving the way for international collaborations such as SANAP, which has pushed back the chronology of the Albanian Early Neolithic and helped to reveal how early farmers interacted with the landscape."
The findings show that Vashtëmi, located in southeastern Albania, was occupied around 6,500 cal BC, making it one of the earliest farming sites in Europe. The location of early sites such as Vashtëmi near wetland edges suggests that the earliest farmers in Europe preferentially selected such resource-rich settings to establish pioneer farming villages.
During this earliest phase of farming in Europe, farming was on a small scale and employed plant and animal domesticates from the Near East. At Vashtëmi, the researchers have found cereal-based agriculture including emmer, einkorn and barley; animals such as pigs, cattle and sheep or goats (the two are hard to tell apart for many bones of the skeleton); and deer, wild pig, rabbit, turtle, several species of fish and eels. What seems evident is that the earliest farmers in the region cast a wide net for food resources, rather than relying primarily on crops and domesticated animals, as is widely assumed.
Allen and Gjipali's research team included graduate and undergraduate students from UC's departments of anthropology and classics. SANAP is an international collaboration with researchers representing the U.S., Spain, France, Greece and Albania.
The Society for American Archaeology is an international organization that is dedicated to the research, interpretation and protection of the archaeological heritage of the Americas.

A few weeks ago, my son asked me: "Dad, what do you think would happen if the sun exploded?" It was around sunset, and I had just said something along the lines of: "John, you know the sun has already set, don't you? That light you see actually left the sun around 8 minutes ago or so." So, his question to me wasn't as bizarre as it might seem at first blush. Further, according to...

About me
My name is Anna. I am in my mid-twenties and I live with my husband and our three children in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. I am attempting to juggle three days at home with kids, two days of casual teaching, as well as hobbies and sports on weekends, and the occasional bout of housework.
When I first started blogging, nearly a year ago, my sole aim was to write about my kids and their interests / developments / milestones. However, more and more, this blog is becoming about me and the many 'hats' I wear. Along the way, I have also discovered feminism, and I have started to question many of the practises I used to take for granted, both in my own parenting, and in society in general. As a result, this blog is now more of a mish-mash of my various interests, which include my kids, education, feminist parenting, equality, and a bit of rowing on the side…
I hope you enjoy!

Newborn session
Babies are usually photographed anywhere from 7-14 days. With that being said, it is best to book either during your pregnancy session or as soon as the baby is born. We are sensitive to Mamas recovery and we will work with you to schedule your baby. Ideally it is best to call as soon as the baby is born or if it is a scheduled C Section, you can call ahead.
If you have or are having a boy and plan to circumcise your child, please have the session one week after the operation. We will be swaddling your baby tightly while he is naked, and moving him from one position to another constantly during the session. This is very painful for a child who has just been circumcised. We will NOT photograph a newborn who has been circumcised less than 6 days prior to the session.
Newborn sessions generally take about 2-3 hours. We welcome toddlers, parents and grandparents in any session for no additional charge. The session can go over 3 or under the 2 hours, as we will not rush and allow for plenty of time.
General retouching is provided on all purchased images. We suggest using oil/lotion on baby's skin in the morning after a bath to keep everything soft and smooth. As babies grow, acne and peeling skin will occur. You do not need to worry, as we can really remove anything. Same goes with Mummy, you will still look beautiful with your newborn.
All materials, wraps, blankets and clothing are washed using baby detergents and are always kept clean. The staff is not permitted to work when sick, and everyone involved takes the utmost care to clean their hands and be as gentle as possible with newborns. You are also welcome to bring anything from your home.
When we go to your home, you can request any of the props, blankets or accessories in advance. In addition, if you have special requests just let us know and we can usually accommodate you as long as it is safe for the baby.
We take baby safety and care very seriously. You can trust that we will provide all measures to keep your babies in a clean and safe environment.
Clothing for parents and siblings is best when it is nice and simple, and free of patterns or stripes. It is best to wear colors that will look great when the artwork is displayed in the home. Light or dark colors, work equally well. Little ones are best kept bare feet and dresses/tutus are available for little girls. For boys, simple jeans and solid shirts are recommended.

It was an arranged marriage, of sorts. The owners of RT Cable Corp. and Katec Inc. -- installers and servicers, respectively, of cable television systems -- had known and liked one another for years. Both companies were leaders in their fields; both were also veterans of the INC. 500 list.
"They were two businesses born to be coupled together," says Ronald Katz, former Katec president and now head of RT/Katec Inc's converter repair division.
"Individually, we didn't need to consolidate," echoes former RT chairman and chief executive officer Roy Tartaglia. "I think we could have made a nice living for ourselves. But in [the cable TV installation and service] industry, there isn't any company that's been a total turnkey operation. And I wasn't interested in becoming [just] a $20-million-to-$30-million-a-year company. I feel we can hit $100 million in a couple of years." At present, they are at $17.6 million and climbing, up from $9.6 million last year.
As the company expands, the owners have taken care to create their own niches within the organization. The company now has five "pretty autonomous" divisions."The only difference is that we now all work for the board," says Katz. "The synergy that the partners have is incredible," adds Tartaglia.
Katz and Tartaglia started creating that synergy back in the early 1970s, in East Orange, N.J. Cable television was only a bright promise when fraternity brothers Tartaglia and Richard Thomas started RT on the premise that customers should "feel like they have a part in how the job was going to be done." Meanwhile, Katec was blossoming into one of the largest converter-repair businesses in the country and beginning to work directly with the manufacturers of converter systems.
But while both RT and Katec prospered on their own, changes in the cable industry soon forced them to think about repositioning themselves. After the industry's initial boom, many cable companies began finding it difficult to sustain themselves. Construction slowed down, and changing technology meant that older systems would have to be rebuilt. Tartaglia and Thomas decided that the best way to grow was to develop a service organization that would cover all facets of cable. As it turned out, Katz wanted to move in the same direction, and so RT/Katec was born.
But the union of the two INC. 500 companies is just the beginning.

what you Should Know About Landscape and Landscaping
Storm the Desert with Desert Landscaping
The desert conjures up images of plenty of sand and tall cacti, however landscaping such a terrain does not necessarily only include planting cacti amongst rocks. Landscaping a desert would require one to add interesting slopes and curves that will move away from the strict rectangles and squares that highlight a desert. This would include the addition of pleasant walkways that lead up to the front door or the creation of gentle slopes that break the monotony of the desert plains.
Desert landscaping, which is also called xeriscaping, includes the use of plants that are available locally. The use of such locally available plants would ensure that plants that withstand the local climate are used. Desert landscaping plants should be drought resistant and low maintenance requiring low amounts of water. There are varied plants that fall into this category and these should be selected while opting for desert landscaping. An important desert landscaping plant is the aloe vera which is extremely popular for its medicinal purpose and therefore well sought after.
Desert landscaping plants need not be stick thin cacti, they include a large array of plants that stay green the whole year, while some of them even flowers during certain months. These can be a visual delight, especially in stark weather. Therefore it is imperative to choose one's desert landscaping plants wisely before preparing to landscape the garden. These desert plants not only stay healthy for long periods of time but they are also low maintenance and require very little effort. This will act as a great boon for those who do not wish to struggle hard in the yard for prolonged periods. This is the reason why many of these plants are found commonly in parks and other common areas.
Desert landscaping designs should include desert landscaping plants like the Bougainville, Lantana and Pampas grass wherever possible. These plants are recommended by many desert landscape designers. Desert landscaping in Arizona using trees should also take into consideration the kind of trees that thrive under desert conditions. It has been found that certain trees like mesquite trees, Acacia trees, and the palm trees flourish well and can be used while desert landscaping in Arizona
Interesting desert landscaping ideas also comprise of rock gardens that are lined with cacti of different sizes. The prickly pear cactus is one of the most commonly used plants for such rock gardens. This plant gives rise to beautiful yellow flowers that precede red color fruits. These fruits, when prepared well, are edible!
While setting up the rock garden there are few things that need to be kept in mind. The rock gardens may be made up of small rocks or large boulders depending upon the size of the yard. Free flowing waterfalls and gentle streams are other added attractions for these rock gardens that would provide amusement and fascination for all.
Desert landscape designs call for careful water management as water is a scarce commodity in the desert. The most frequently used irrigation system for such landscape designs involves the use of drip irrigation. This way there is minimum wastage of water due to evaporation. Such irrigation methods ensure that the maintenance of desert landscape designs does not become difficult to manage.
Pebbles when used in a desert landscaping design render impressive highlights to certain specific areas of the yard like around shrubs and trees or even around captivating sculptures. They can even be added on the surface of mounds of sands for creative alterations to the usual rock gardens. These add color and are a visual delight.
Garden lights are other important additions in a desert landscape as they bring to life the beauty of the garden during the night. As the desert enjoys cool nights, it is during these times that people would have an opportunity to sit out. The blistering morning heat would never permit any time in the garden. So in order to cater to the soothing night sky, well-lit gardens act as captivating backdrops for pleasant conversations. Path lights that highlight the curves in the walkway and strategically placed garden lights that throw amusing shadows of trees and plants will greatly enhance the beauty of the desert landscape at night.
There are numerous pictures of desert landscaping that are available and these may be used to create the perfect desert landscape that would suit your yard as well as your budget. After choosing the right desert landscape design based on the pictures of desert landscaping, the required alteration should be carried out in the design plan to include one's interests and tastes. This would add character and instill in the design a personal touch that would make the entire effort more meaningful.
Desert landscaping one's yard need not be restricted to places that are arid like Arizona but can also be adopted in places where the amount of rain received is low. As desert landscaping requires very little maintenance and water supply, these landscape ideas work well anywhere. The desert landscape plants do not have to be watered often and so such landscape ideas require comparatively less time and effort.
The best way to implement a desert landscaping idea is to hire a local landscape contractor who will understand the region well and provide useful tips that will help in the maintenance of the yard.
Once all the interesting ideas have been collected, it is time to put the plan into action and to create the perfect desert landscape that would fill one with pride every time one steps out!

Setting up drought-resistant landscaping means one has to use cactus and rock gardens. But contrary to what many people think, these plants can be really beautiful if placed and combined properly. As for the flower, perennials are usually used, because this type of plant does not need too much water and has the capability to store nutrients in their bulbs and roots.

Landscaping Edging
If you have walked or driven through a residential neighborhood you would have seen that homeowners have their own unique preferences when it comes to landscape edging. But what do we mean by landscape edging and what are the different ways to do it?

Such companies have a wide range of experience and are used to maintain the landscape of schools/ colleges, offices, mansions and even homeowners associations.

Proper irrigation as well as trimming the shrubs at the right time is part of the work involved. The manpower that is involved in such exercises is taught to be discrete and quiet and so there is no intrusion or discomfort caused as a result of them. Well maintained plants add a healthy appeal to the landscape and ensure vibrancy that will not be apparent when dull plants or wilting leaves are present. Since such care for plants require continuous checks and nurturing, professional landscape maintenance companies are the need of the hour.
Apart from ensuring that the plants and shrubs are disease-free and healthy, it is also essential that flowering plants that add vigor and color to the season are planted and cared for. Well planned landscaping ideas will include the addition of flowering plants at strategic places, flowering during different seasons and adding a brilliant dash of color to the landscape. There are even options to maintain a color scheme throughout the year, adding vibrancy and excitement.
Designing and planning a landscape does not stop with choosing the right flowering plants but for drought-ridden areas, selecting the correct varieties of plants is also an essential task. Minimal use of water should be the criterion for landscape maintenance and many landscape maintenance companies ensure this by providing proper irrigation. Generally, apart from selecting drought-resistant varieties, drip irrigation is followed. This will allow maximum absorption of water and minimum loss due to evaporation. The sprinklers that are used to water the lawns should be in good condition. Loss of water due to leakage is a terrible waste that is completely avoided due to strict checks and controls exercised by professional landscape maintenance companies.

Landscaping Can Save on Energy Costs
Too frequently people do not use landscape plants to conserve energy. Proper placement of trees, shrubs, and vines around a house conserves energy while adding beauty. Trees are the number 1 landscape plant used in energy conservation in the home landscape.
Trees help remove pollutants from the atmosphere that can damage humans. They also can absorb carbon dioxide and other gases while producing oxygen for us to breathe. Trees and other plants reduce the greenhouse effect by shading houses and office buildings. This benefit reduces air conditioning needs up to 30 percent because less electricity is required for cooling. Properly placed trees within the landscape can be as effective as other home improvements in reducing heating and cooling costs. Good selection and placement of trees within the landscape can help cool your house in summer and allow the sun's rays to warm your house in winter.
Trees Can Add to the Value of a Property as Well
Well-landscaped property is more desirable than property that is not landscaped, so healthy trees and other plants can increase residential property values up to 15 percent.
To install an energy-conserving landscape properly, you must understand the different positions of the sun at various times of the year. In mid-December, the sun rises in the southeast and remains low in the sky during the day. The winter sunsets in the southwest. In mid-June, the sun rises in the northeast and appears higher overhead at midday. The sunsets in the northwest during summer.
Since the summer solstice will soon be upon us, place trees around the house to provide shade from hot morning and afternoon sun. Trees on eastern and northeastern exposures of the house provide morning shade in summer. Trees placed on western and northwestern exposures of the house provide shade during afternoons. Increase the effectiveness of reduced heat absorption by having a shrub or a vine shade east and west walls. You can grow vines on masonry brick or concrete walls, but do not allow them to grow directly on walls with wood sidings. Provide a simple trellis for wooden sidings.
In most areas of USA, prevailing summer winds are provided by the Gulf breeze from the southwest and from the south. To take advantage of cool summer breezes, avoid dense screen plantings on the southwest and south sides of your property. Prune deciduous trees on the southern exposure of your house to the height of the roof's drip line to provide free air movement into the house.
In summary, here are a few pointers to keep in mind when planting trees and shrubs to conserve energy:
- Avoid placing trees too close to a house. Usually, 25 feet from the walls or the roofline is adequate.
- Avoid placing trees directly under power lines or over an underground sewer, water, or utility lines.
- Space trees properly according to their anticipated mature size.
- Avoid using evergreen species on the south side of a house.
- Use shrubs or vines to protect east and west wall exposures. Be conscious of where the sun will be at various times of the year.
- Plan ahead when landscaping your new or existing home and enjoy lower utility bills in the process.

Nike Opens Its Largest Distribution Center Worldwide in Tennessee
Nike opens a state-of-the-art, 2.8 million square-foot facility in Memphis.
The state of Tennessee is now home to Nike's largest distribution center with the opening of the Swoosh's North America Logistics Campus in Memphis. Spanning more than 2.8 million square-feet, the state-of-the-art facility — with its 33 miles of conveyor belt, 73 outbound doors, and 96 receiving spurs — houses footwear, apparel, and equipment all under one roof and distributes Nike and Jordan Brand products to individual consumers, wholesale customers and the brand's own retail channels. Said Nike's Chief Operating Officer, Eric Sprunk, of the acility:
Nike's focus on the consumer is relentless. We built NALC-Memphis to enhance our ability to provide our consumers what they want: premium Nike products delivered quickly and efficiently. When we deliver like this for our consumers, we grow and expand our business. Through successful partnerships with state and local government, we've built a premier logistics center that meets the increasing demands of our consumers and our wholesale customers, while also ensuring that the facility meets our high standards for sustainability. By establishing NALC-Memphis, we're setting a new standard for Nike.
Trish Young, VP of North America Supply Chain Operations, went on to say:
This facility was built to offer greater cost efficiencies, reduce shipping times and increase service capabilities for our consumers and retail partners. We also followed LEED certification guidelines, and the operations have elevated the Nike Supply Chain in ways that impact our entire portfolio and strengthen our brand.
All in all, the opening represents a unique touch point in Nike's history: the brand's very first distribution center opened in Memphis back in 1982 when revenues stood around $700 million USD. Since then, the company has gone on to surpass the $30 billion USD mark.

| 6/30/12
Last night was the perfect date concert at Red Rocks. The heat forced people to drink copious amounts and wear very little. The natural romance of the setting was out in force, with the lights against the rock reaching up to an almost-full moon. And then there was the music. And it was a night for the instruments. Sure, there were the requisite guitars, keyboards, drums, bass...but there were also banjos, cellos and violins, all being utilized to the fullest by musicians who don't just know their tools well, but seemed to honestly love to bring out the full sound of each -- and to sometimes pound the crap out of them like they were Colfax hookers. The Avett Brother's cello bow bore little resemblance to the refined bows from Devotchka -- it was more like Sunday morning walk-of-shame hair.
See Also: - Slide show: The Avett Brothers at Red Rocks, 6/30/12 - Review: The Avett Brothers at Red Rocks, 7/9/11 - Slide show: The Avett Brothers at Red Rocks, 7/9/11
The Avett Brothers opened with "Talk on Indolence," which brought the crowd to its feet right away. You could feel the energy in the place change instantly -- from the slow draw of DeVotchKa, which everyone appreciated in that swaying-slowly sort of way, to the rowdy electricity of the Avetts.

The band kept the energy up for most of the early show, rocking out in such a country-style that people were literally do-si-do-ing in the crowded aisles. But it wasn't all countrified; the Avetts jumped up and down at the mike like the Bay City Rollers (that's right -- the Bay City Rollers), and Scott Avett was, at one point, on his knees playing the banjo, which is just wicked cool.
It was during "Kick Drum Heart" that the crowd seemed to explode into a big massive pile of love, from the hugs one of the brothers came down to give to everyone in the front rows, to the folks walking the aisles with boots, collecting donations for those affected by the Colorado wildfires (they raised more than $20,000 on Friday night, and encouraged Saturday night's crowd to surpass that).
Of course, not all love is requited. During "Colorshow," there were a significant number of couples consisting of girls singing the lyrics "it's you and me forever" while staring expectantly up into the glassy eyes of their in-the-bag boyfriends who just wanted to rock out, man. But this actually worked out nicely for the men, at least temporarily, since their disappointed girlfriends then sat down dejected, and left them more room for the aforementioned rocking out. How things went for these couples post-show is pure speculation (but it's probably not good.)
Midway through the show, the band reminded the crowd that they're actually brothers, and not in band-name only, by bringing out some of their family for an old-time gospel singalong. Their father and sister sang backup to "Just a Closer Walk with Thee," and even if you're only Sunday-religious, you had to admit it was purty.
The Avetts saved "I and Love and You" for late in the show; it was a must-play, of course, since it's the group's biggest hit to date, but it did mute the frenetic pace a bit. Still the crowd loved it, singing along happily while fireworks appeared over Coors Field in the distance. That, combined with the moon and the rocks and the music and the crowd, proved what the Avetts said toward the end of the night -- that Red Rocks is "a magical place...but it's not half as magical when you guys aren't here to share it with us."
Personal Bias: I have a banjo fetish.
Random Detail: A ton of fans said Saturday's show was better than Friday night's show.
By the Way: If you want to get a massive reaction from the crowd at Red Rocks just insert Colorado or Red Rocks into your song lyrics. They love that shit.

So how can you say your American? Your not a citizen, you cant actually own any property, you can be deported just for being here, you have no right to travel on any roadway since you dont pay taxes for the upkeep, you have no right to any type of police protection.
If you do any of the ilegal things you mentioned you can be put in prison or deported just like any other ilegal alien.edit on 20-8-2011 by Campy61 because: (no reason given)

Do we have another infant in our midst. I think so. You have no understanding of how Sovereign Citizenship works. You have your understanding of how it works.Iand I cant be deported I have protected myself against that also. You see... I have native American Blood in me. Choctaw and Navajo to be exact. I dont know if they could have deported me before I joined The Choctaw Nation but they cant now. So there you go. Eating a hamburger right now brb to the tread convo.

Sustainability 101
Article written by Michelle Parker-Low Carbon Europe Sustainability Consultant
The science behind climate change is now unequivocal; humans are changing the chemical make-up of our atmosphere, therefore also our oceans and land, faster than the natural environment can respond. The sustainability agenda has been accepted across industries, business, public sector and governments to address the most pressing challenges posed. The ultimate aim is ensuring global temperature rises are no greater than 2°C, mitigating the most severe human impacts.
Sustainability is a broad concept, which can sometimes be confusing in complex organisations to unravel the requirements necessary to enable outcomes. The official definition was laid out in the Bruntland report in 1987; "meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs". In its simplest form, sustainability can be viewed as common-sense resource efficiency; and resource efficiency saves money.
There are three main components of sustainability; the environment, society and economy. Often models depict the three concepts as interlinking circles, with sustainability sitting in the middle (see figure one). However, a more accurate description is to consider sustainability as three concentric circles, with each providing capital for the next. Without a functioning biosphere, our species cannot survive. Without a functioning, healthy species, there will not be a strong economy.
When organisations begin to consider sustainability, they need to assess their inputs, outputs and services as a whole. By understanding exactly where materials for products, or staffing movements both to-and-from work and as part of the business, or waste streams then critical actions can be taken to improve each factor. The previous list, by the way, is not exhaustive at all. Sustainability within organisations is often complex and interdisciplinary. However, by not fully evaluating the business or organisational model as a whole, there is a danger of exposure to unnecessary future risks. In an example from 2011, in addition to the loss of life and homes, flooding in Thailand led to a global shortage of hard disk drives, which lasted throughout 2012 and considerably increased demand prices.
Paradoxically, one of the many ways that research and development is creating more sustainable products and services is by looking at how the natural environment has itself evolved answers. The world of biomimicry is creating new technologies, based upon natural solutions. Translating the ventilation systems of termite mounds into the built environment saves resources on mechanical cooling and heating. Using the anti-bacterial properties and structure of shark skin is creating anti-bacterial surfaces for use in healthcare settings. Understanding the technical process of photosynthesis in plant leaves are leading to more efficient solar panels. Each of these technologies, and more, are relying on the natural efficiency of evolution to deliver improvements for the human environment. However, I digress!
Moving forward, businesses and organisations that tackle sustainability now, in a strategic and engaging manor, will continue to reap multiple benefits. Already we see global companies aligning themselves with a sustainable ethos, one which includes corporate responsibility, but one which looks wider to their material sourcing, supply chain and communities with whom they work. Customers are responding too; recently it was reported that sustainable products are producing six times the revenue when compared to 'normal' lines. The comprehensive and well considered Plan A from Marks and Spencer's, has seen a net benefit to the company of £625m since 2007. Sustainability does pay!
There is no returning to the use of long buried fossil fuels to spur rampant economic growth. We have exploited the supplies of unvalued natural resources and services for too long and are now beginning to see the consequences. Our activity and growth on the planet has had measurable and unintended results. Sustainability is the only pathway through the future that tackles limits to resources in specific and demonstrable ways. It is up to us to decide how quickly or slowly we head down the road; quickly would be good.

Ask a Physicist Answers
I'm studying how wind power is used to produce electricity and would like to know how a generator works. - MO, Canandaigua, New York
A generator makes use of the wonderful connections between electricity and magnetism, two seemingly separate phenomena that become interrelated in the presence of motion. At its heart, a generator consists simply of a magnet that moves relative to a coil of wire.
In the absence of motion, these two objects, magnet and coil, have no effect on one another. The magnet's magnetic field simply doesn't push on the stationary electric charges in the wire coil. But once the magnet begins moving relative to the coil of wire, charges in the wire begin to experience a force. Usually, the coil of wire is stationary while the magnetic moves. In that case, the moving magnet begins to exert electric forces on the mobile charges in the wire. These electric forces are associated with an electric field. While a stationary magnet has only a magnetic field, a moving magnet also has an electric field. Electric fields push on charges and this electric field does physical work on any charges that move with it through the wires. This work transfers energy to those charges and electric power is generated.
Because energy is conserved, the generator's electric power must draw energy from somewhere. The energy comes from the moving magnet. As current flows through the wire coil, it turns that coil into an electromagnet and this electromagnet does negative work on the moving magnet. The moving magnet loses energy as the electric current carries that energy away. Overall, no energy is created or destroyed.
In a modern commercial generator, the moving magnet is typically a huge electromagnet. It spins in the midst of giant wire coils and pushes electric currents through those coils. A steam turbine keeps the magnet moving and heat from a fire or a nuclear reactor provides the high-pressure steam needed to keep the turbine spinning.Answered by Lou A. Bloomfield of the University of Virginia.

Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith Separate? Shocking New Report!
According to In Touch Weekly, Will and Jada have decided to end their 13-year-marriage.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are calling it quits, In Touch Weekly reports. How sad!
The couple, who have been married for 13 years, have two children — Willow and Jaden. Will has another son, Trey, from a previous relationship.
TMZ spoke to Jada's rep who neither denied nor confirmed the news. "What? In Touch said that? I know nothing about this … Lord. I'm going back to bed."
This split, if true, comes as a surprise. Jada told Ebony back in 2009 that divorce was not an option.
"When Will asked me to get married, I said, 'Understand this, there will be no divorce. So, you might be in one bedroom and I might be in another, but we're gonna be under the same roof and we're gonna be married,'" she said.
Will's oldest son Trey denied the reports that his dad and Jada are divorcing, but Jada's rep gave an interesting statement to ET.
"Everything about the Marc Anthony story is completely false, but we are not commenting on whether [Will and Jada] are separating or not," Karynne Tencer said, addressing rumors that Jada hooked up with Marc on the set of Hawthorne.
Get caught up on the split saga of Will & Jada:

Katherine Heigl has shown off her newborn son, Joshua, for the first time backstage at the Late Late Show with James Corden.Strictly 2020: Fans in tears as Nicola Adams and Katya Jones smash first same-sex dance
The knocked-up star gave birth to Joshua Bishop Kelley Jr in December, but the tot had been yet to make his first public appearance – until now.
She debuted her son on the late night chat show when James cut backstage to Katherine and husband Josh Kelley.
As the cameras panned behind the scenes, the actress and her musician husband were seen sat on a sofa with the cute new addition.
Katherine said: 'This is Josh Jr. He's got a little bow tie on! He's eight weeks old today!'
After the show, Katherine, 38, posted a smiley selfie with the Brit host, saying: 'I had tooooooooo much fun doing the @latelateshow, thanks for making me laugh so hard I cried @j_corden!
'And thanks for letting me chat about my new show #Doubt! Can't wait for it to air tomorrow night! Catch it on #CBS at 10pm!'
Baby Joshua brings the Kelley brood up to three, after Katherine and Josh adopted daughters Naleigh, eight, and four-year-old Adalaide.
The actress announced she was expecting her first son on her blog, Those Heavenly Days, but said the news was a shock at first.
She posted: 'The whole pregnancy thing is new to me but the thrill of having a baby is not.
'We've known for awhile that we wanted to add to our family and frankly didn't really care how we chose to do that. We were considering adoption again, fostering, or pregnancy if possible.
'Seeing as I have never been pregnant and as my OB/GYN reminded me last year, I'm of advanced maternal age, I wasn't sure pregnancy was even in the cards for us. Turns out it was very much in the cards!'
We think this is a dazzling story and so do you! Like Metro Entertainment on Facebook for more of this on your news feed.

What Is So Awesome About 17 & Gone?
Hello you fantastic person you!
It's day two of 17 & GONE week! Yesterday, I had bloggers talking about why they want to read 17 & GONE. Today, I'm going to have bloggers who have already read the book talking about why they love 17 & GONE! Want to find out what is so awesome about 17 & GONE? Well, read on!
"17 & Gone is absolutely the best and most moving book I have read in months. Nova Ren Suma is has an incredible talent with words that makes you fall under her spell completely and willingly. The language is stirring and the story is not only incredibly powerful, but it tests your mind and your sense of true versus false. I was taken in by Lauren and her story. Trust me, just read this novel. You won't regret it." - Jessica @ Read My Breath Away
"There are many things I could discuss about 17 & Gone. Ultimately I decided to focus on the aspect that impacted me the most - the tone. Nova Ren Suma manages to capture a whispy, ghost like quality through out the entire novel with the words she uses. It keeps the gripping, and eerie tone flowing through the entire novel. This is never more evident than when introducing the lost girls in the story. She describes their last moments before simply being gone in such a way that allows your imagination to run wild. Our imagination is almost scarier than anything that can be described so the overall result is chilling, and heartbreaking. It this that writing style that makes this story exactly what it's suppose to be - unforgettable and haunting." - Kathy @ A Glass of Wine
"Tomorrow you'll get my full review of 17 & Gone but for today you'll get this: it's brilliant. That's the simplest way to put it. It's a book to captivate your imagination, chill you to your bones, and break you heart over and over again. It's the book I've been waiting for. And I hope you guys love it as much as I do." - Me
Stay tuned for more 17 & GONE week stuff!

Our 8e French classes experienced the old-time tradition of Christmas story- telling in a new way via a collaborative creative-writing exercise using their iPads. New 21st century skills such as creativity, communication and the use of information technology were learned throughout the work.
English Secondary School celebrating book week
The increasing popularity of the internet, smart phones, games consoles and
television has meant that reading is in danger of becoming an outdated leisure activity among today's youth. One of our biggest challenges as English teachers is getting students to read, and to foster a love of reading.

Last week my sister brought me her TrueCrypt flash disk that she couldn't mount. She shutdown her laptop before dismounting the disk in TC, and pulled out the disk after wards. When she attempted to use it again, windows asked to format it. The disk is a 64GB and all her critical data are on the disk, without any backups.I went through the same ordeal about six months ago, and was able to get it mounted and pull my files out thanks to in this thread on another forum. But this time the procedure didn't work.
Here is what I did:When I loaded the physical disk in WinHEX, I realized that the first 9,388,031 bytes has no data (e.g. all zero). Upon closer examination of the encrypted disk I found out that, contrary to my own disk the other time, the encrypted disk has lots of bands of empty blocks scattered throughout the disk. I profiled the data and non-data blocks on the encrypted disk in this worksheet, showing both the table of offsets and a plot of the bands. Looking at the table, there are about 255 bands of alternating data and empty blocks of different sizes. The largest being a 28GB and a 32GB block at the end of the disk with a few bands between them (note that I have excluded these large blocks from the plot).
I tried to find the beginning and end of the lost volume using the procedure mentioned above (e.g. creating test files and checking to see if they decrypt with restored header and original password). But I wasn't able to decrypt any of the test files (I did it for about 30 data blocks from the beginning and end of the disk).
Looking at the distribution of data and non-data blocks in the plot, one can clearly see a pattern of overwriting the disk data (as though the operating system was performing a format or wipe on the disk), but I can't make anything out of it that could help me recover the data.
I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions that can help answer of these questions and hopefully get the data back:
Thanks in advance from me and my desperate sister.
1: It could be typical TRIM behavior and there may not be any data missing.2: That depends on what really happened (properly shutting down Windows with a mounted TC volume should not lead to any corruption that I am aware of, and unplugging it after complete shutdown shouldn't either).3: Does the disk appear to have a partition? If so, have you actually tried mounting it in TrueCrypt at the partition level and at the whole disk level?
Thanks Dustin for your reply:
Also, please take a look at the map of the disk in this table and chart if you already haven't:GOOGLE_DOCS_TABLE_AND_CHART
It will give you a picture of how the data is distributed and where the big chunks are.
Re1: See posts 64-66 (between me and brain8891 starting ~13 days before today) here: https://forum.truecrypt.ch/t/ask-a-simple-question-get-a-simple-answer/290/66
Moderator edit: see this thread now (posts moved): https://forum.truecrypt.ch/t/encrypting-ssds/922 -Horcon
Re3: Good luck.
Re3: This doesn't make sense unless you restored a partition header to a disk and actually need to restore the partition table to the disk before restoring the partition header to the partition. Searching the net may reveal ways to recover partition tables, but a missing partition table is indeed the problem in this case, then without a backup of the partition table, I'm not sure how recoverable that can be with flash storage and encrypted data.
Re4: I'm not familiar with TestCrypt.
Also, while I wish I could help more and will certainly continue to answer questions where I can, I don't have the expertise to provide any benefit from laying my eyes on a chart indicating distribution of chunks of random data, and no amount of studying the same chart would increase the odds of providing such a benefit.
I will have to agree with Dustin, it would seem that what you pulled was essentially kind of "scrambled" with TRIM.
It may take a while, but maybe try to decrypt the ENTIRE drive, all data you got, excluding the obvious zero-d out spots. Look for a TRUE value somewhere in the 64GB. From the manual, the decryption is considered "successful" if the first decrypted 4 bytes read in plain ASCII "TRUE".
If that works, you can try running a file recovery tool on the data, files that got cut into parts may be harder to recover.
