Building on a recently completed, award-winning project,which developed seamless dressing retention garments for people suffering from the rare skin condition, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), this new research will focus specifically on how to protect and prolong patients' use of their hands. Hands are an especially difficult area for people with such skin conditions. They often need frequent surgery, or have to wear cumbersome splints, to prevent their fingers fusing together and their hands contracting. Hand deformities can worsen with age, and surgical correction becomes increasingly difficult. The project will look at developing a wound dressing glove and a 'splint glove', incorporating computer-knitted textiles with an engineered system of adjustable splints and electronic sensors, which will relay information and allow practitioners to remotely monitor the condition of their patients' hands.
To this aim, Dr Patricia Grocott, Reader in Palliative Wound Care, King's College London, and the principal investigator on the project, will lead a unique collaboration between patients,clinicians, academic researchers, clothing design consultants, garment manufacturers, economists, bio-engineers, electrical engineers, textile manufacturers, a digital data capture and a 3D scanning company. Together, the team of experts will work with patients over a three year period to co-design and test these two novel high tech gloves, which will aim to delay hand deformities and reduce both surgical interventions and hospital stays.
Speaking after the announcement of the funding Dr Grocott, who works closely with the specialist EB team at St Thomas' and Great Ormond Street Hospitals, said, "this funding will enable us to investigate practical evidence-based solutions for people with painful and disabling conditions affecting their hands. These conditions require lengthy procedures,such as dressing changes. On the hands this means wrapping individual fingers with dressings and bandages, which inevitably takes a long time, intrudes on someone's day, and is costly…Not only can these new products relieve patients and clinicians of much of the painful, time consuming and repetitive tasks associated with hand therapy, they can also save patients' time and NHS money. Also exciting are the prospective applications for the new technologies we'redeveloping and testing. While this project focuses on patients with EB, I've already had interest from people looking to treat other skin conditions, for example burns. There is a lot of potential here to help many people."
The design process for the new products will incorporate digital and electronic data capture systems to enable clinicians to obtain exact measurements of an individual's hands, which will also be used by the manufacturers, meaning the products will be tailored to fit and function optimally for each patient.
In addition the researchers will work on a workable economic model that will provide a means of determining the value of the new devices,over current options. The team anticipates that there will be a considerable cost saving to be made through using the new products.

Song of the day, to be honest.
Icona Pop premiered their latest Emergency single for "First Time."
The Swedish electropop duo wrote the song together when they formed in 2012, but only now released it, and we're grateful they did. The throbbing mix pulsates the triumphant beat along their iconic vocals, and it's one of the best anthemic party songs about getting drunk & high and falling in love we've heard in a minute; music needed this.
"There was something special about us / remember when we thought it'd never end"
Watch Icona Pop's music video for "Emergency"
The group's Aino Jawo said of the track:
"The song has a whole new meaning to it now, looking back and reflecting on how far we've come since those early days when we were broke and didn't have a clue what we were doing or where we were going!"

Mabel and Me Best of Friends
The 'Me' in this delightfully different exploration of friendship is the small mouse narrator. As he and Mabel 'stroll down a strolly street' together, they explore the 'hugely harrowing and diabolically difficult question' posed by the little girl – what makes a 'bestest, bestest' friend? Their deliberations are interrupted when first a French photographer and then a Spanish prima ballerina make derogatory references to 'your strange little creature thing' and 'scrawny, hairy rodent legs' respectively. Though clearly aimed at him, said narrator resents these offensive remarks, which he thinks are aimed at Mabel, and defends her virtues vigorously, urging her to forget all about them. Such is his strong sense of self-belief that he cannot accept it when Mabel suggests that the comments referred to him; but then, this particular friendship is unshakeable.
There is much to enjoy in this, not least the memorable expositions and wonderfully expressive countenances of the duo and all those they encounter on their summertime perambulation. Indeed the illustrations are packed with witty details. Definitely a touch of the comic capers.

Yeah That's The Ticket
It is often very interesting to me how Hollyweird types and their rich liberal friends (i.e. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc.) are all about liberal causes and how the rich should pay more. To date I have yet to read about one of them giving more to the federal government. In fact Warren's company, Berkshire Hathaway, is being sued by the federal government for $366 million in back taxes. Perhaps the "Buffet Rule" should start with paying what you owe? I guess this FOO (Friend of Obama) doesn't mind if taxes goes up since his companies don't really pay anyway.

Murder tally hits 500 as at Sunday
Sunday's fatal shooting of 56-year-old Neville Salmon of Annotto Bay, St Mary, and 27-year-old Obrian Hartey of Norwood, St James, has pushed Jamaica's murder tally to at least 500 since the start of the year.
According to the latest statistics compiled by the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), 498 persons were killed between January 1 and May 5 of this year, a 5.3 per cent increase, when compared with the same period last year with 473 murders.
Despite a 150 per cent hike in its murder rate, the eastern parish of Portland remains the nation's least murderous, with five homicides since the start of the year compared with two over the corresponding period last year. This, is in stark contrast to the St Andrew South Police Division, which has recorded 69 murders this year when to compared to 28 at this time last year, a 141 per cent increase.


text: With a 7x optical zoom and up to 5.24 Megapixels, the new DiMAGE digital cameras strengthen Minolta's position in the expanding digital still camera marketNew York City/San Francisco (May 23, 2001) – Minolta Corporation has introduced two easy to operate high-end digital cameras designed to appeal to photographers, photo enthusiasts and a host of business users seeking advanced digital technologies with no compromise in image quality. The new Single-Lens Reflex (SLR)-type Minolta DiMAGE 7 (5.24 megapixel) and DiMAGE 5 (3.34 megapixel) digital cameras feature 7x optical and 2x digital zoom abilities. Fundamental to the design of these new cameras are core technologies of ultra high resolution apochromatic lenses (Minolta GT LENS), Minolta's innovative CxProcess(TM) Image Processing System, plus a high speed Large Scale Integration (LSI) chip and the world's first Flex Focus Point autofocus control which enhances creative picture-taking."With the introduction of these new digital cameras, Minolta is taking a dramatic and powerful position in the rapidly evolving digital still camera market," said Brian Miller, vice president of marketing, Minolta Corporation's Consumer Products Group. "By building upon our past successes in this category and leveraging our strong heritage as a leading camera manufacturer, Minolta is committed to developing a new class of digital cameras that provide uncompromising image quality, performance that satisfies even the most demanding photographers and photo enthusiasts at affordable prices."The new DiMAGE 7 and DiMAGE 5 feature Minolta's new technological developments designed to provide high-quality images as well as a wide array of digital functions for creative photography. Many advanced features that were found only on high-end professional digital cameras are now offered at more affordable prices. The DiMAGE 7 is equipped with a 2/3 inch-type CCD with a total of 5.24 million pixels. The DiMAGE 5 features a 1/1.8 inch-type CCD with 3.34 million pixel resolution. Both digital cameras feature a lightweight magnesium alloy body and built-in flash. These cameras also take advantage of Minolta's acclaimed ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering when used in conjunction with Minolta's Program Flash 5600HS (D) and 3600HS (D). "The development of these groundbreaking new digital cameras centers on Minolta's expertise in superior autofocus technologies, light metering and exposure control, color metering, compact zoom lens design, digital image processing technology and ultra miniaturization," said Jon Sienkiewicz, vice president, digital imaging products, Minolta Corporation's Consumer Products Group. "The sophistication and portability of these new digital cameras will satisfy the needs of photo enthusiast as well as business users in fields as diverse as real estate, medical, law enforcement and insurance."The optics in both digital camera models consists of a newly designed all-glass 7x optical zoom Minolta GT LENS. The DiMAGE's 7.2mm – 50.8mm, f/2.8-f/3.5 APO lens is an advanced apochromat using anomalous dispersion (AD) glasses and aspheric elements to provide sharp, bright images at all focal lengths. The DiMAGE 7's optical zoom range is equivalent to (in 35mm photography) a 28mm - 200mm lens and the DiMAGE 5's optical zoom range is equivalent to a 35mm - 250mm lens. Both cameras also feature a One-Touch 2x digital zoom to significantly increase the zooming range and a Super Macro capability, allowing close-up photography of subjects as near as 5 inches from the lens.The image formed on the CCD is enhanced by Minolta's exclusive CxProcess image processing technology to optimize sharpness, color reproduction, tonal gradation and noise to create clear and natural images. The wide dynamic range is provided by 12-bit A/D conversion to ensure natural color and tonal reproduction.Minolta's exclusive movable Digital Hyper Viewfinder (EVF), features a high-resolution ferroelectric display. The EVF functions as an information center that shows a full array of shooting information and monitors the effects of image manipulation and control. The Digital Effects Control allows users to adjust the color saturation, contrast and exposure before saving the image to a Type I or Type II CompactFlash Card. The world's first Flex Focus Point feature in the digital camera expands focusing control by allowing the photographer to choose the position of the focus frame anywhere within the field of view.For more detailed information on features and specifications of the Minolta DiMAGE 7 and the DiMAGE 5, please refer to the enclosed backgrounder and specification sheets.Minolta Corporation Minolta Corporation, headquartered in Ramsey, New Jersey, is the largest subsidiary of Minolta Co.

Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
Post everything related to Synapse VST and Audio Unit plugins here.
Moderators: Christophe, Mark
Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
A greeting at all, i need your help to figure out why cubase shows the saturated CPU overload indicator when i use Dune VST.
The composition is difficult because the software crashes or clicks.
My setup:
Windows 10 64Bit
Intel I7 3,6
Ram 8GB
VGA: Nvidea 770
MB: Asus z87 deluxe
Cubase 8.5 Pro 64bit
Motu 828 mk3, buffer 512
Thanks so much!

Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
I've seen this issue mentioned before (I don't own Cubase so don't pay much attention). If I remember correctly the solution is to turn off Dune 2's Multi Threading.
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
Now it's better. This vst is great, but I think it should better manage the might of new CPUs. However, clicks do not feel anymore, but when come it the Dune track, the Cubase indicator covers almost the overload. For this reason I believe that developers should make an effort and better manage the CPU.
Thanks for you support!
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
It handles CPU fine, its cubarse that is the problem. It doesnt like multi threading vsts.
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
I would agree with you if I had a generalized problem with all vst but this is not the case: only Dune created this problem.
So for me it is Dune who runs the CPU badly. There is no story. I'm sorry.
If the problem it's Steinberg I write to Steinberg but for now it does not seem to be that way.
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
Since you're so easy to dismiss any potential causes, by your logic, just as same, if DUNE2 doesn't have any problems with other hosts, it must be a problem with Cubase. End of story. Right?
Instead of dismissing so easily, maybe you should also try running DUNE2 with same settings in a different host and see if the problem persists. If it does, then yes, it's problem with plugin and Synapse should definitely look into it.
If not, well, then maybe consider doing that PS thing you wrote

Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
A lot of people own DUNE 2. Only a few of them complain about CPU....coincidentally those people use Cubase. No problems with CPU here on multiple systems and DAWs....but then I don't use Cubase.
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
If Cubase also behaves the same with Lush-101 or any of the uhe synths, all of which use the similar multi-threading, then I think its safe to say its more of a cubase issue and to give Dune 2 a bit of slack
Check out our soundsets for Dune 3: Earthshine, Dream Worlds, and Harmonic Stars
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
The logic is clear but should not be the final user to do tests but the builder; from me it works like this: when a user buys the software and complains of an anomaly, the first thing to do is to verify that exact condition because the user often sees us well.
I will try to contact you Cubase but I remind you that the VST technologic was produced by Steinberg. I also believe that Cubase, born on Germana in 1989, is more than reliable in managing the approach to the CPU. I do not even think about installing another DAW and testing. It's not my job.
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
The problem is with Cubase and there's nothing Synapse can do about it. Contact Steinberg Support and explain the situation.
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
I don't own Dune (but Cubase). Since it looks like Cubase is the only DAW having that issue, it would be a bad idea to disable cpu multi threating by default but this issue should be mentioned somewhere people would notice... if thats not the case already, you know what I mean
since you mentioned that VST was invented by Steinberg: sadly that doesn't mean that Cubase has to handle VSTs perfectly (or better than other DAWs). I own a Microsoft Keyboard (Sidewinder X4) and a few months ago I learned that there's an issue which was a little surprising to me (Microsoft Keyboard + Microsoft Windows =has to be working perfectly... NOT)
And most of the other DAWS supported vst side-chaining but Cubase added that feature (VST!) very late... I'm still asking: why?!
"I need more details."
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
I see. I wrote in the Steinberg forum but it seems that the admin does not want to publish it. Steinberg, however, for optimize DAW, suggests disabling MT from bios. I did it but nothing changed. I think that in my case the guidance made available by Steinberg to optimize is useless. I read on the DUNE manual I will try to retouch the Present and see if anything changes.
Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
Other than DUNE 2, there is very popular multi-threaded plugins like Diva, Kontakt and others. Unless they run flawlessly in MT mode while Dune does not, it probably is a Cubase issue. That said it runs fine here (Windows 8, Cubase 8.5 64-bit).
What I recommend in general is to fully optimize the PC for audio, e.g. by making sure your Anti-Virus package is audio-friendly (some packages eat way too much CPU), by checking your energy saving settings and making sure the CPU performance is set to 100%, by getting rid of background services you do not need, etc. This is really important for multi-threaded plugins, because multi-threaded plugins are less forgiving about any flaws in the system.

Re: Dune 2.5 - Cubase overload CPU
I tested the Dune 2 demo with Cubase 8.5 (32+64bit) and I had no such issues, no matter if MT was switched ON/OFF
Since my PC setup is similar to zafir's PC (Intel i7 3770k, Z77 mainboard, SSD, nvidia card, Windows 10 Pro 64bit) I'm now curious why Dune2 runs smootly with Cubase on my system... at 48khz and 128 buffer size (TC Studio Konnekt 48)
I'd try some BIOS/UEFI tweaking since the Asus Z87 Deluxe has a lot of options. "disabling MT from bios" means Hyper-Threading, I guess? I have HT enabled and never, ever had to disable it. Even overclocking and energy saving (cpu idle) is enabled.
Or maybe it has to do with Cubase' configuration itself? ASIO guard, audio priority or something like that...?

Taking Charge Of Your Life
Have you ever asked yourself, what am I doing with my life, why am I not happy, why don't I have contentment in anything, why is it everyday seems to be a boring day, am I doing the right thing in my life or am I short living my life? If you feel as if you are not living your life fully, constantly feeling unhappy, feeling lack of motivation, feeling uncertain about life, there are a ways to begin changing them to the way you want them to be.
Know that each one of us are creator of our own destiny. Meaning every life circumstances we experience comes to us through the daily decisions and actions we are making. Whether we will be a success or failure, happy or sad, it all depends to the decisions and actions we are continuously making. Thus, it is important for us to learn to manage ourself; the person who is the constant decision maker and action taker. Once you learn to manage your own self, you will be well on your way to achieve living a positive life: a life the way you want it.
Managing our self means taking charge of ourself. We manage our self by taking control of our thoughts and feelings; by thoughts I mean thinking and by feelings I mean emotional responses. If you want to begin designing and manifesting the lifestyle you want, you have to begin modifying your own thinking. If you want to feel happy and contented you have to begin identifying proper way to respond emotionally towards things that makes you unhappy or worried.
In order to do all that, you need to decide to change and change. If you decided to change but didn't change, you will always be at the same place. It is easy for so many people to say that change will come naturally. Change will come naturally to everyone, indeed. That is the nature of life. In fact change is inevitable, but do we need to wait for change to occur? Don't we have a choice to change ourself now? Experience is good, but do we have to waste the time we have going through all those experiences? If you have too, than you have too of course, but don't we have a choice?
We have a choice because we are not going to sail through life as if life is an uncharted ocean. There have been many before us who have navigated through the sea before. We can always learn from them. We just need to know what others have done to improve themselves and apply it in our own life. Yet, how are we ever going to navigate through life if we don't know or don't have a destination? That's problem you have to solve. You need to find out where you are in your life now, find out what you want to achieve or change in this life of yours, and find out what or how you can do it.
Sit down and think hard on what your really want… and do something about it. The key is in doing something. Thinking alone cannot solve your problems. You actually need to find out what to do and do it. So do something. Anything. Why anything? At least you are doing something. Each actions we take will eventually lead us to true understanding of what we really have to do in our own life. Not other people's life.

I realize that I am taking an unpopular opinion on here, but I do not see DRM in this regard as absolutely horrible. I would love to live in a fairlyland without DRM, but that is probably not realistic.
I love watching Netflix. If the choice is to have DRM as a standard that means that I can watch Netflix on any computer, or choose no standard DRM so I have to use Microsoft Silverlight or Adobe Flash to watch Netflix on a PC (Linux need not apply). then having DRM as the standard is the less obnoxious of the two.
Putting my asbestos underwear on now…
That's a weird thing to say, given we've been living in that unrealistic fairyland for the past twenty to thirty years.
I am not sure that I understand your point? DRM has not been a part of the HTML standard, that is true. But because of this, I remember having to install Microsoft Silverlight to watch Netflix. I do not really use Amazon video unless it is on my Roku, so I do not know what they used.
Simply stated, movie studios do not want people to stream movies unless DRM is involved. It just makes sense to have the DRM be as simple and unobtrusive as possible.
I wish that we COULD live in a world without DRM. I do not buy games with burdensome DRM. I avoid Electronic Arts because of the bloody abortion that they call "Origin" (I tolerated it enough to finish Mass Effect 3 and then ripped it out of my computer). I do own some stuff that uses Steam, but that is as far as I will go. Generally, I get my games from GOG.com or Humble Bundles (prefer the ones that are DRM-free). When I buy e-books, I try to get DRM-free also (O'reilly books are awesome for technical stuff). However, going completely DRM-free is impractical unless you are willing to not watch any blockbuster movies in the same decade that they are made. Even DVDs have DRM (although it is trivial to crack).
In a sense DRM as merely an extension of Copyright in the printed word we have had it for many, many centuries.
Author Thomas Babbington Macaulay has a splendid rant against the whole idea in the British House of Lords. Macaulay argued that copyright is a monopoly and as such has generally negative effects on society.
Personally I loathe and detest DRM. This even though for much of my life I have been an author and a publisher. I have had my work stolen by some of the best people. I find it flattering.
I may not have had enough experience in the wider area to comment. I do not play electronic games so DRM only applies to me when it comes to books where I gleefully rip it out. Easy to do using the free program Calibre with which I have no connection except as a happy user…
Gareth Powell
Netflix, the BBC and other big rightsholders…
What an interesting use of the word "rights."
If any such thing is agreed I hope it actually works better than the Magna Carta - as soon as he got wind of that the Pope issued an edict nullifying it, and even without that happening King John went straight back to scrapping with his barons about exactly the same things as before anyway, ignoring what they'd agreed. The Magna Carta only really became important in retrospect some centuries later

Following the success of last year's ITU World Championship qualifying event, the 2014 Morpeth Duathlon promises to be bigger and better than ever! For the second year in a row, the Sprint distance is a qualifier for the ITU Age Group World Championships. Thanks to fantastic support from the Town Council and Town Team, the event returns to the heart of town and has grown to include Beginner and Standard distance races alongside the Sprint. The multi-lap run course takes the athletes through the centre of town on closed roads, giving spectators plenty of chance to see all the action, then on a gorgeous winding route through Carlisle Park.
Please note that only the Sprint distance is a qualifying event.
The spectacular bike route takes athletes out through the villages of Pigdon and Netherwitton with breathtaking views of the Northumberland countryside, before heading back through Mitford into town. Both the Sprint and Standard distance events will be single-lap affairs taking in some of the region's best scenery. A fast descent back into Morpeth will bring the athletes back to transition for the final run, and the grand finish in the market square beneath the historic clock tower where spectators can gather to cheer the athletes home with a smile.
Morpeth is often referred to as the county town of Northumberland, and its historic buildings, plentiful accommodation, superb restaurants and cultural attractions make it a beautiful place to visit. The Normans sited a castle in the town above the River Wansbeck, and 12th century Cistercians built an abbey nearby. The 13th century Chantry has been restored to provide a home for the unique Bagpipe Museum, Northumbrian Craft Centre and the Tourist Information Centre. Thus blending old and new, Morpeth remains at heart what it has always been - a market town of great character, the focal point for villages around.
Please note that there will be no entries on the day. Please refer to the Event Terms and Conditions page for details on withdrawals, deferrals and transfers.

Alternatives to Office for Windows 7 64-Bit
While Microsoft dominates the market for office productivity suites, several alternatives exist that you can run on your company's 64-bit, Windows 7 PCs. While only Microsoft Office comes in both a 32-bit and 64-bit version, you can install and run 32-bit, Office-compatible applications just fine on your 64-bit operating system and hardware.
Windows 7's 32-bit Emulation Mode
Windows 7's 32-bit emulation mode can mimic a 32-bit PC so well, you can install and run many 32-bit applications without a hitch. Older 32-bit applications, however, may require you to first install and use Microsoft's Windows XP mode before they will run properly or at all. Although you may not notice the difference with a recently-built PC, a program running in the 32-bit or XP mode will run more slowly than the 64-bit version of the same program. Like the full version of Windows XP, however, official Microsoft support for XP mode end ends on April 8, 2014.
Commercial Alternatives
Paid, commercial suites like SoftMaker Office 2012, Ability Office Professional and WordPerfect Office Professional Edition include word processor, spreadsheet and presentation software that can open, edit and save Microsoft Office-compatible DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files. In addition, these suites include database programs that you may be able to use for the same tasks as Access. Macros in your existing Word or Excel documents, however, may not function as you expect them to.
Free Open Source Office Suites
Apache OpenOffice and the Document Foundation's LibreOffice are free, open source, production-ready office suites that run well on 64-bit, Windows 7 PCs. Both LibreOffice and OpenOffice include a word processor, presentation software, database and spreadsheet applicaton that can read and write older Microsoft DOC, XLS and PPT files as well as newer, OOXML-based DOCX, XSLX and PPTX files. While both LibreOffice and OpenOffice provide a Basic language-based macro language, it is not fully compatible with Microsoft's VBA or Visual Basic for Applications.
Web-based Office Suites
Zoho Office, Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive are online services that provide Office-compatible productivity apps your employees can use without the need to purchase or install any additional software. Each suite includes a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation application that can read and write Microsoft file formats.These Web-based apps work on any PC, as long you have Internet access and a current version of a Web browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. All of these services are free and will work with your a 64-bit Windows 7 PC.

Cala Murada holiday villas and apartments for rent. Self catering luxury accommodation specially selected for your holiday.

Cala Murada Holiday Villas and Apartments for rent. Self catering luxury properties selected for you.
Cala Murada is accessible from the Porto Cristo to Porto Colom road, just two bays north of Porto Colom. It was originally a small fishing village, which has grown into a small tourist resort.
Cala Murada is where anyone that is looking for total peace and tranquility should go, the perfect place to relax. For some years it was a resort where the wealthy built their homes, but in recent times, more affordable quality homes have been built in the area.
The beach of golden sands and clear blue waters has a European Blue Flag, with a gentle slope into the sea, making it a safe beach for children and those among us who cannot swim. In the summer months there are sunshades and umbrellas for hire at a very reasonable charge, and lifeguards for added peace of mind.
If you feel in the walking mood, there is a coastal path from Cala Murada that takes to you the beautiful bays of Cala Domingos Petite and Cala Domingos.
Market day is Thursday, and on the stalls for sale will be jewelry, pottery, clothing and fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables. The size of the town prohibits the size of the market and if you prefer a larger market, the one in Felanitx on Sundays is well worth a trip. Only 20 minutes from Cala Murada, the town of Felanitx has much to offer as well as the market.
Felanitx is renowned for its wines and brandy, still made in the traditional way that it has been for hundreds of years. Till the late 19th century it was the main export of the area, mainly to France.
Head northwards along the coast and you will pass many bays and coves to eventually reach Porto Cristo, about a 45-minute drive.
Porto Cristo is where to head if you want to see inside the caves, as there are two sets, Coves del Drach and Coves del Hams. Going down into the depths of the ground is an experience not to be missed, and it has been made as easy for tourists as possible.
Just 10 minutes inland from Porto Cristo is the large town of Manacor, the centre of the pearl manufacturing industry on Mallorca. Manacor hosts one of the busiest street markets on the island, every Monday.
What you should remember about Mallorcan markets is that you need to visit them in the mornings. They start early and tend to close around lunchtime, so the stallholders can have their traditional Spanish siesta.
With over 800 properties to choose from, Balearic Villas can offer you luxury accommodation on most parts of the island. With 15 years experience in the Mallorca holiday villas industry, our expert advisors have the knowledge to ensure that you are matched with the ideal property and location for your perfect holiday.

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
As an employee or a job applicant, you might believe you have a right to privacy as far as any medical conditions you have. An employer, on the other hand, has the right to hire the most qualified personnel with some degree of assurance that medical problems will not interfere with staff members' ability to perform the job. All parties should know their rights under federal and state laws, so that employers learn what they can legally ask, and employees and applicants can recognize questions they don't have to answer.
The Americans with Disabilities Act applies to companies with 15 or more employees. It specifies that if you are applying for a job, the prospective employer is not allowed to ask if you have a disability or ask you to explain the cause of an obvious disability. He is allowed to ask whether you would be able to perform the job and how you would do so. He can't ask you to take a medical exam before offering you the job, and he can't make the job offer contingent on your taking the exam, unless all the applicants are required to take the same exam whether or not they are disabled. Once the employer has made a job offer, he can require a medical exam to determine if any accommodation is needed or if a disabled applicant can perform the job, but only if all other applicants must take the same post-offer exam.
Don't Ask
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission forbids a prospective employer from asking you if you have been treated for any of a list of conditions; what conditions you have been treated for in the past three years; if you have had any major illnesses in the past five years; whether you have been hospitalized and if so, what for; whether you have been treated for a mental condition, drug addiction or alcoholism; how many days you were absent from your last job because of illness; if you take any prescription medications; and whether you have ever filed a workman's comp claim.
If you are already employed, your boss is limited in the medical information he can ask. When an employee asks for an accommodation for a disability, for example, the employer can ask for medical documentation to support the request. He can also ask for documentation if he feels a medical condition would impair the employee's ability to perform the job safely and effectively. Your employer can ask you if you have been drinking or using illegal drugs.
If, as an employee, you become unable to perform an essential function of your job or if your workplace conduct has become troublesome, the employer is allowed, under the ADA, to ask for medical information or request an exam. The employer must have reason to believe, objectively, that a medical condition is causing the problem. The boss can ask you to produce medical documentation to prove you can continue working, or he can require you to undergo a medical exam related to the problems.
The Family Medical Leave Act allows an employee to take an unpaid leave of absence for up to 12 weeks for her own health condition or the health problems of her spouse, child or parent. These include such serious conditions as illness, injury, or physical or mental conditions requiring hospitalization. If you are requesting leave under the FMLA, your boss is entitled to require that you submit a medical certification from your health care provider. The employer can also ask for a second opinion.

The Formula One Commission and F1 Strategy Group recently finished ironing out new regulations for the upcoming seasons of F1. Issues on financial sustainability, safety, penalties and incentives were brought up and it resulted in some controversial new changes.
A cost cap has been agreed upon and will be implemented on January 2015. Representatives from the FIA, Commercial Rights Holder the Team will get together to work on the guidelines of the cap for approval by June 2014.
Formula 1 has also allowed Pirelli to invite teams to participate in a three-day test of their tires in Bahrain on December 17-19, 2013 and so far 6 teams (Red Bull Racing, Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Force India and Toro Rosso) have accepted the invitation.
Drivers, starting next season, will also be asked to choose a number between 2 to 99 and use it for the duration of their career. #1 is reserved for the current World Champion is he wishes to use it and in cases where drivers pick the same number, the one who finished with more point from the season gets to keep the number.
A 5-second penalty for minor infringements has been agreed upon as well but a discussion with F1 teams is in order to finalize the guidelines for its implementation starting in the 2014 season.
A new and highly controversial 'Double Points System' has been put in place but only for the final race of the season. This is to ensure that teams and drivers perform at an optimum level until the final lap of the season regardless of their ranking in the championship prior to the last race.
"These changes are immediately applicable, given the mandate assigned to the FIA President at the last World Motor Sport Council meeting, held on 4 December in Paris," said the FIA in a statement.

When I visited the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris a few years ago, I had an surprising experience of ambivalence. It was impossible to not be in awe of its beauty, but I couldn't shake a feeling of disgust.
Everywhere I looked I recognized that the beauty before me came at an immense cost. For every stone lifted, a field row was left untilled. For every window pane stained, a coat was left unwoven. The cost was paid by the poor, twice over. The first was the price paid directly in labor and taxes; the second was the opportunity cost incurred from using materials and exploiting labor that might have been used toward more essential ends. If everyone in Medieval Europe was wealthy and at ease there would be nothing to object to, but that wasn't the case. The beauty of Notre Dame came at a cost, and it's one that I find difficult to overlook.
The best justification that I can imagine is that the beauty displayed by a cathedral uplifts the spirit of everyone in a community. A noble thought. Alexander Pope wrote that the calling of tragedy is,
To wake the soul by tender strokes of art,This, it seems, could be said of architecture as well, so also with literature, painting, or any of the arts. Art does a great service to us all, but the virtue of beautiful art doesn't exempt artists and patrons from their more basic human call to be good. M.K. Gandhi said (although it may be an apocryphal attribution), "There's no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness." Likewise, it's hard for someone to appreciate the uplifting intention of a cathedral when his body is crushed with hunger and exhaustion.
To raise the genius, and to mend the heart.
Beauty and Goodness
I've concluded that I needn't forget my ambivalence toward sublime cathedrals, powerful fortresses, castles, and châteaux. In fact, I ought to allow that internal conflict to flourish. It's a conflict that rages between our aesthetic and our ethical sensitivities—between beauty and goodness, and it's a conflict that we too often pass over unmarked.
I want to continue visiting the places that spark this conflict within me. It's worth remembering again and again that something can be both beautiful and ethically depraved. Beauty can be wrought at a great human cost. It's a lesson with significance more contemporary than the construction of Notre Dame.
In actual fact, I'm not interested in involving myself in a critique of Medieval architecture. I'm really concerned about today, but again, not merely with architectural practice. Rather, I'm concerned about the ethics of our beauty standards in general.
The Question of Ethics in Art
I'm not saying that I have a doctrine to follow to ensure that the art we make remains ethical, I'm only saying that in our creating and producing—whether artistic or otherwise—we should never forget our responsibilities to other people. I could never come up with an adequate definition of art, but I'm confident in saying that any definition should include the pursuit of goodness.
That's not to say that art needs to represent good things to be good (I'm not so old-fashioned). Art is good by doing good; making us aware of suffering and confronting us with what's terrible in the world is one of the many virtuous services that art can perform. Even ethically considered, tragedy is among the best art. Even the most horrific pieces can be both beautiful and good.
Neither am I arguing that art needs to be primarily concerned with actions and effects. But art can't help but produce effects, and it can't avoid acting on those who experience it. I'm arguing that we should remain mindful of what it does.
The Responsibility of Art
And certainly I'm not suggesting that I or anyone can assume the role of ethical arbiter in art. On the contrary, the moment we politicize or govern art is the moment we transform it into an instrument of power and ideology rather a conduit of ethical practice. Obviously what I've proscribed only truly succeeds in resolving the problem if we all agree on what's good, which we don't. But this actually concerns me less, at least for now.
The weighing and measuring can only be done by the artist himself. As long as we remember that what is beautiful—whether in nature, art, economy, or in other people—cannot help but involve itself, for better or for worse, in ethical questions. Crafting a standard of beauty that is also good and virtuous is a personal and individual responsibility. Both the beautiful and the good are ultimately mine and yours to discover or to determine. We each have to decide; that's the weight of moral responsibility—it lies on my shoulders alone, and on yours.
Of course the problem remains: undoubtedly the architects of Notre Dame believed that what they were doing was good, righteous, even glorifying, while I consider it oppressive and abhorrent, though beautiful nonetheless. My values, thoroughly 21st century as they are, question their values. All we can do, then, is to keep asking the ethical question: is this good?—continuing until it's a grand series of questions, and finally an omnipresent moral attitude from which we approach everything in life including our art.
This isn't a guarantee that we'll be good, but in lieu of being good with certainty let's at least work to be better. I'm confident at least that the result will lead us in the right trajectory. It's a modest proposal but weighty enough to keep us constantly occupied.

Article: Efficient gene editing via non-viral delivery of CRISPR–Cas9 system using polymeric and hybrid microcarriers
CRISPR–Cas9 is a revolutionary genome-editing technology that has enormous potential for the treatment of genetic diseases. However, the lack of efficient and safe, non-viral delivery systems has hindered its clinical application. Here, we report on the application of polymeric and hybrid microcarriers, made of degradable polymers such as polypeptides and polysaccharides and modified by silica shell, for delivery of all CRISPR–Cas9 components. We found that these microcarriers mediate more efficient transfection than a commercially available liposome-based transfection reagent (>70% vs. <50% for mRNA, >40% vs. 20% for plasmid DNA). For proof-of-concept, we delivered CRISPR–Cas9 components using our capsules to dTomato-expressing HEK293T cells—a model, in which loss of red fluorescence indicates successful gene editing. Notably, transfection of indicator cells translated in high-level dTomato knockout in approx. 70% of transfected cells. In conclusion, we have provided proof-of-principle that our micro-sized containers represent promising non-viral platforms for efficient and safe gene editing.

Article: Energy efficiency and environmental aspects of the combustion of coal-water slurries with and without petrochemicals
The paper presents the results of the experimental research into maximum concentrations of anthropogenic emissions from typical brown low-rank coal combustion in the traditional pulverized state as well as from the combustion of coal-water slurries with or without petrochemicals. The temperature of fuel heating in the model combustion chamber varied in the range from 500 °C to 1000 °C. The relative values of concentrations of anthropogenic emissions are calculated with due consideration of key energy characteristics of the fuel: combustion heat, specific mass of the fuel component in a mixture, specific energy obtained per fuel cost.
The research findings show that the temperature monitoring in the combustion chamber is obligatory to provide high ecological indicators. At temperatures below 1000 °C, it is possible to provide stable combustion of fuels and significantly reduce emissions as compared to the traditional high-temperature regimes (above 1000 °C). Thus, temperatures lower than 1000 °C are more rational. Finally, the conditions for the optimal coal fuel combustion are presented in terms of the environmental friendliness, energy and cost efficiency, as well as fire and explosion safety.

Article: Using Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence to explain the mechanism of heterogeneous water droplet boiling and explosive breakup
Over the recent years, the research community has taken an increasing interest in high-temperature gas-steam-droplet systems. This promotes emerging technologies in thermal or flame water cleaning from unspecified impurities, and firefighting by water slurry aerosols. Unfortunately, these technologies have yet to become mainstream, although they have been regarded as extremely important and promising for several years already. The fact is that there are too few experimental data on the physical processes intensifying the evaporation of water slurries in hot gaseous media. The results of such experiments with temperatures over 1000 °C are virtually impossible to find. These data are so evasive due to fast-paced processes and difficulties in measuring the temperature in evaporating heterogeneous water droplets. The typical durations of high-temperature heating and evaporation do not usually exceed several seconds. In this work, we conduct experiments using a heterogeneous water droplet with a single nontransparent solid inclusion to determine the unsteady temperature field of the latter. We use an optical diagnostic technique, Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence, to study the conditions, mechanism, reasons and characteristics of water boiling leading to an explosive breakup (disintegration) of water slurry droplets. Rhodamine B acts as a fluorophore. The typical temperatures are determined in the depth of a droplet, near its free (outer) surface, and at the interface. The water temperature at the water – solid inclusion interface is shown to be higher than at the outer surface of a droplet. Furthermore, we compare the temperature fields of a homogeneous and heterogeneous water droplet under identical heating conditions.

Article: Improvement to the adhesion of polycrystalline diamond films on WC-Co cemented carbides through ion etching of loosely bound growth centers
Carbide cutting tools with CVD diamond coatings are one of the most promising combinations for machining applications because of their exceptional durability in the processing of hard-to-treat materials. In the current work, we investigated a new technique to increase diamond coating adhesion to WC-Co substrates, based on the principle of removing loosely bound nanodiamond growth centers (the cause of regions with low adhesion for the growing coating) from the substrate surface using ion etching. As a result, well-adherent coatings were obtained with a columnar microstructure and thickness up to 40 μm. We also investigated the evolution of density variation of the growth centers for various ion fluxes and exposure time. The difference in mechanisms of diamond coating delamination from substrates without ion etching pretreatment and after pretreatment was also examined. Comparative measurements of coating adhesion by the Rockwell adhesion testing methods and determinations of the self-detachment thickness were made. The relative simplicity, low energy consumption and high efficiency of this method make it attractive for both industrial and scientific applications.

Article: Pulsed plasma chemical synthesis of carbon-containing titanium and silicon oxide based nanocomposite
The paper presents the results of the experimental investigation of the physical and chemical properties of the TixSiyCzOw composite nanopowders, which were first obtained using a pulsed plasma chemical method. The pulsed plasma chemical synthesis was achieved using a technological electron accelerator (TEA-500). The parameters of the electron beam are as follows: 400–450 keV electron energy, 60 ns half-amplitude pulse duration, up to 200 J pulse energy, and 5 cm beam diameter. The main physical and chemical properties of the obtained composites were studied (morphology, chemical, elemental and phase composition). The morphology of the TixSiyCzOw composites is multiform. There are large round particles, with an average size of above 150 nm. Besides, there are small particles (an average size is in the range of 15–40 nm). The morphology of small particles is in the form of crystallites. In the TixSiyCzOw synthesised composite, the peak with a maximum of 946 cm–1 was registered. The presence of IR radiation in this region of the spectrum is typical for the deformation of atomic oscillations in the Si?О?Ti bond, which indicates the formation of the solid solution. The composites consist of two crystal phases – anatase and rutile. The prevailing phase of the crystal structure is rutile.

Article: Effect of parylene C coating on the antibiocorrosive and mechanical properties of different magnesium alloys
In this paper, parylene C coating with the thickness of 2 μm was deposited on different magnesium alloy substrates (AZ31, WE43 and AZ91). The structure and phase composition of parylene C coating was analysed by Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In addition, extensive surface characterization was done using atomic force microscopy.
The polymer coating has revealed the ability to recover elastically. Therefore, parylene C coating can not only improve corrosion resistance, but also provide the ability to recover elastically, expanding the potential applications of this material to include various biointerface platforms.

Article: Micromechanical model of deformation-induced surface roughening in polycrystalline materials
A micromechanical model has been developed to describe deformation-induced surface roughening in polycrystalline materials. The three-dimensional polycrystalline structure is taken into account in an explicit form with regard to the crystallographic orientation of grains to simulate the micro- and mesoscale deformation processes. Constitutive relations for describing the grain response are derived on the basis of crystal plasticity theory that accounts for the anisotropy of elastic-plastic properties governed by the crystal lattice structure. The micromechanical model is used to numerically study surface roughening in microvolumes of polycrystalline aluminum and titanium under uniaxial tensile deformation. Two characteristic roughness scales are distinguished in the both cases. At the microscale, normal displacements relative to the free surface are caused by the formation of dislocation steps in grains emerging on the surface and by the displacement of neighboring grains relative to each other. Microscale roughness is more pronounced in titanium, which is due to the high level of elastic-plastic anisotropy typical of hcp crystals. The mesoscale roughness includes undulations and cluster structures formed with the involvement of groups of grains. The roughness is quantitatively evaluated using a dimensionless parameter, called the degree of roughness, which reflects the degree of surface shape deviation from a plane. An exponential dependence of the roughness degree on the strain degree is obtained.

Article: Changes in the state of heat-resistant steel induced by repeated hot deformation
This work deals with the problems of structural regeneration by thermal restoration treatment (TRT). These include the lack of a structural sign showing that TRT is possible, a consensus on TRT modes, the data on the necessary relaxation depth of residual stresses, or criteria of structural restoration. Performing a TRT without solving these problems may deteriorate the properties of steel or even accelerate its destruction. With this in view, the purpose of this work is to determine experimentally how the residual stress state changes under thermal and mechanical loads in order to specify the signs of the restoration of structure and structural stability. The object of this research is unused 12Cr1MoV steel that has been aged naturally for 13 years. Using X-ray dosimetry with X-ray spectral analysis, we study the distribution of internal residual stresses of the first kind during the repeated hot deformation. After repeated thermal deformation, the sample under study transforms from a viscoelastic Maxwell material into a Kelvin-Voigt material, which facilitates structural stabilization. A sign of this is the relaxation limit increase, prevention of continuous decay of an α-solid solution of iron and restoration of the lattice parameter.

Article: Application of phased antenna arrays for pipeline leak detection
The paper proposes a method of passive leak detection for underwater pipelines by means of phased antenna arrays. It implies element-wise multiplication and addition of the output signals of individual array transducers. The proposed method provides a twofold increase in the resolution of the detection system in comparison with that obtained by conventional signal processing techniques and a high detection rate. The array pattern has been calculated numerically. The paper presents a version of the inspection system that implements the proposed method of signal processing using a phased antenna array, and the experimental results obtained.

Article: Book Review: Food, Media and Contemporary Culture: The Edible Image by Peri Bradley (Ed.)
Food, Media and Contemporary Culture: The Edible Image comprises a collection of essays written by scholars from the fields of media theory, communication, cultural studies, and sociology, and offers interdisciplinary and international perspectives on the vital and meaningful relationship that we have with "rituals of preparing, presenting and consuming food and images of food." The book's thirteen chapters are divided into three parts: "Food, Representation and Identity"; "Food, Consumption and Audience"; and "Food, Sex and Pleasure." The authors interrogate various aspects of gastronomy, with their discussions gravitating toward the central issue: What role does gastronomic culture play in forming our identities on personal, national, and global levels? While investigating representations of social class and gender, among other themes, via food and modes of consumption, the researchers draw on various sources, including the phenomenon of "food television" in the United Kingdom, "food-themed horror," and "visual aesthetics of food porn in contemporary food photography."

譚詠麟 -朋友 (Alan Tam – Friends)
I really wanted to find a good song for my Wednesday post, but couldn't find one that really I could use. Apparently after reviewing most of my music collection, many of them are Chinese love songs which really wouldn't be suitable for the occasion, haha. Found an excellent one that fits the bill perfectly! Holy, this is a timeless classic. For those who have grown up in a Chinese family, I'm sure you'll have heard this song a million times already, LOL.

譚詠麟 -朋友
Alan Tam – Friends
繁星流動 和你同路
All the stars floating here and there, I walk this road with you
We never met each other in the past, but now our hearts begin to move closer
Quietly, we treat each other with true sincerity
人生如夢 朋友如霧
Life is like a dream, friends are like a mist
It is rare to find friends who intimate understand you, and will weather the storms and rain with you
It is because of you then I will not take a step backward
In this faraway night sky, the scatter of stars appear so closely connected
You & I, even if this road is lined with thistles and thorns
You will help me (literally translation is 'on my behalf') undo the loneliness in my heart
It is you whom understands me best
Our friendship like two hands, passing through the good times and the times of pain
Share each other's worries and responsibilities, with no differentiation between you and I
你為了我 我為了你
You for me, and I for me
Together, we will pass through trials and troubles and overcome all hopelessness, as I tightly grip your hand
As friends

I luv this song too… it's kind of like us, friends forever 🙂
I think many ppl take friends for granted sometimes, they're the ppl sometimes u dun realize that needs to be maintained. When I was working reali hard, I admit that sometimes I didn't spend enuf time w/ them. I would wake up, go to work, cm home tired and slp. Over time, they seem to become more distant and I had to rekindle that link again. Even when u and bebe go steady, dun forget about all yur frds too 😛 ESPECIALLY not me xDD
The person who did the translation did a very good job too. I'm impressed, although he/she seemed to have "spiced up the meanings" a bit – but not too bad la. Did u take any pics with L when u went? haha.
Frds are sometimes the easiest ppl to forget abt 'cuz we just "expect them" to be there when we need a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes trying to keep up with frds are just as hard as trying to tidy the house, LOL! No matter how much u do, it never seems to end 😆
Happy Father's Day!!!
U kno what I mean and I know u hope the same thg 😉
Thanks for your post! Such a long time to listen it again.
