text: So I just bought the new 2.0 Alu Macbook. This is my first MAC and my first laptop. The only thing I have a question about is; I heard that it is better to keep the notebook plugged in for as much as you can, and not to bother turning it off. just closing the lid and letting it sleep? what is everyone's opinion on this!? Also, for anyone else who has bought a new 2.0 What type of battery life are you getting, how many hours? I am pretty paranoid about this! And don't know if what I am getting is normal. Which is about 4-4.5 hours. Thanks for your help!

Last year, my garden was a little bland. We had zucchini, beans, and carrots. My strawberry plant was more productive than the year before, which was really nice.
Unfortunately the blueberries, raspberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, watermelon, and herbs did not produce. 😦
The berries may have been planted too late, but everything else failed at the seedling stage.
This year, I have invested $21 in grow lights!! I hope this will produce strong, vigorous seedlings which I did not have this year.
According to the farmers almanac emails I get, it's time to start onion seedlings (9-12 weeks before the last frost date) in the north west.
I cut an egg carton (18 eggs) into thirds so that my assistants could each have a section. I put our names on them just in case they wanted to keep track of their own growth.
Then I gathered garden soil (potting soil is good, too) in a bucket and told them to fill up their carton holes.
Next, poke their little fingers in each egg area to make a little seed hole.
Then, drop "a few" seeds in each hole. (I said 1-2 but Mr. 3 put a whole bunch.)
Then, lightly cover the holes with the soil.
Our soil was moist because I got it from outside, but you may need to spray or sprinkle water on.
Finally, rearrange your whole kitchen so that you can put the seedlings and lights in an area where the kids can look but not touch. Somewhere where the clutter will not annoy your significant other or get in your way with cooking/cleaning.
I also planted a mystery seed and some cilantro in my carton because I think we will have enough onions from the kids, and I was wondering if the herbs would grow well inside with the lights. Also, I'd like to figure out what that mystery bag of seeds was.
I hope you readers have a wonderful garden year, if you are into that sort of thing!

The last hurdle for SCLR will be resolved by this weekend.
Posted by ND on November 3, 2009
Only 40 per cent of the link road is complete. The link road was supposed to be complete in 2008. Now the new deadline is May 2011.
The last hurdle for the much-delayed Santacruz-Chembur Link Road will be resolved by this weekend.The 164 families living in 13 Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) buildings at Tilak Nagar near Kurla will pave the way for the road.
They will sign memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) between November to 4 to 6.
Once the MoUs are signed, the MMRDA will be able to go ahead with the demolition of these buildings that come along the alignment of the link road.
"There was a misunderstanding as we were waiting for the MMRDA to call us and tell us the schedule," said P. Raman, representing the tenants.
"Now everything has been cleared and we will be going in three groups on these three days," he added.
The residents were to sign MoUs on October 29 but no one turned up.
The residents were to sign MoUs on October 29 but no one turned up.
"We had readied everything, including the demand draft for each flat owner, but they didn't turn up. Now the process will restart," said a MMRDA official involved in rehabilitating these project-affected people.
Each low-income group flat owner will get Rs 2,64,000 and middle-income group tenants will get Rs 3,36,000.
The displaced residents will be given alternate houses in the nearest MHADA building.

"They will be vacated as per the high court order," said Dilip Kawatkhar, spokesperson for MMRDA.
Ninety-six residents of the same buildings have signed MoUs with MMRDA.

Along the Gulf Coast, our trees are prized for both beauty and environmental value. But they are also known for vulnerability to our climate. Gerald A. Miller (Tony) founded Cambium Tree Care in 1998 to tend to trees affected by storms and harsh weather. He noticed the lack of care and environmental conscience with which so many tree companies approached arboreal management.
Tony responded by steering Cambium in a better direction. An ISA Certified Arborist, Tony approaches trees as living organisms that require proper attention and care. He has nurtured Cambium's unique corporate reputation for protecting tree health and safety, for professional tree service in the Biloxi MS area, and for consistent high levels of training and certification for Cambium's staff members.
Through hard work, education, and training Cambium continued to grow. In 2005, the Mobile, Alabama location was opened, to better serve clients in that area. Today, Cambium continues to expand, always with an eye towards optimal performance, artistry, education, service and safety. Our goal is to stay well ahead of the cutting edge.

Saudi Gazette report
Aden — The Coalition Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen called on 'honest Yemenis' to unify efforts around their uprising and praised former president Ali Abdullah Saleh for "taking the lead" after he announced he was open to talks with the Coalition.
"This stage in Yemen's history requires the honest Yemeni people to rally behind this blessed uprising," the Coalition said in a statement on Saturday after Saleh spoke in a live TV address to slam Houthis amid fierce clashes between his loyalists and the Iran-backed militia in Sanaa.
"The people have revolted against Houthi aggression," he said.
Saleh urged an end to "militia rule on Yemeni land," adding that Houthis had continued their "provocative acts against Yemeni citizens."
He also demanded that armed Yemeni forces refrain from taking any orders from the Houthi militia, and called for "opening a new page with neighboring countries."
"The decision by (Saleh's) General People's Congress (GPC) to take the lead and their choice to side with their people will free Yemen of... militias loyal to Iran," the coalition said in its statement.
The Coalition also said that it recognizes the noble members of the Yemeni General People's Congress (GPC), the GPC's leadership and the Yemeni people who were forced to remain under Houthi-Iranian control.
Also, the Coalition recognizes that these noble individuals have endured numerous murder threats, torture, bombings and seizure of public and private property.
The Coalition noted that their brothers in the alliance toward restoring legitimacy in Yemen was keen that the restoration of their initiative and their allegiance to the Yemeni people — and the Yemeni people's stand in the circumstances — would rid Yemen of the Iranian sectarian terrorist militia's evils.
It confirmed the Coalition's support with all its capabilities in all fields for the Yemeni people to protect the country's territory, identity, territorial integrity and social fabric.
Meanwhile, residents of Sanaa described heavy fighting on the streets of Hadda, a southern residential district of the Yemeni capital where many of Saleh's relatives, including his nephew Tareq, live, early on Saturday, with sounds of explosions and gunfire heard all over the area.
The fighting subsided by the afternoon as Saleh supporters secured control.
Three mediation initiatives were carried out between Saleh and the Houthis since Friday, but they did not reach any solutions. They could not calm the situation, according to information.
Since midnight Saturday the clashes between the followers of Saleh and the Houthis spread to Dar Silm, Al-Hothaili and Kholan Street.
The Houthis deployed four tanks in the Hadda District streets to terrify Sanaa residents so that they don't rally behind Saleh and his supporters.
Information indicates that the general situation in Sanaa is catastrophic and the people are in a state of fear.
According to information, security patrols and military police refused to obey orders from Houthi commanders to carry out a night attack on the political district and Al-Saleh Grand Mosque.
Revolt has started in some units against the Houthis in Sanaa.
Tribes have started moving to strengthen Saleh's position. The Kholan and Sanhan tribes are controlling the southern gateway to Sanaa.
The public opinion is to support the GPC and Saleh. The people are chanting "No Houthis after today."
At the time of reporting, at least three Houthi commanders — Hamza Yahya Al-Mokhtar, Ali Khoraim, Abdullah Bin Salim Al-Sharif — have were killed. The clashes resulted in the death of Al-Fawaris district chief in Sanaa, Shikh Mansour Al-Nahimi.
The Saleh followers are controlling the presidential palace, Al-Nahdain district and military strongholds which have been wrested from the Houthi militias.

I like it. But one question.
Why did you go for the aspect ratio that you did? I wondered if there was a bit of 'extra' space top and bottom that wasn't necessarily needed. If you cropped just about 1/2 in (10-12mm) below the lowest part of the leaf and made it a 1:1 (square) image - how would that look?
I agree with the top and bottom edges where they are, in fact I'd even suggest losing 5% off the right hand side.
(I'm not one for fixed ratios I'm afraid because I rarely print)

Good Habits Are Getting Trained
Kerr Street Ministries scores again with Club 31 , By Lucia Lecuna
Walking into the Kerr St. Ministries building, which is close to the intersection at Speers Rd makes you wonder, how can they do it? And why didn´t I know about this before? The busy groups of children come and go to join guided activities in a calm and organized environment.
You can sneak into a sports and recreational room to the left, and also into a kitchen that is prepared to provide a healthy dinner for those who seek help in their facilities.
Gary O'Neil is a young business man who became attracted to this charity when he was at the top of his career. He truly believes in the success of this social enterprise, where Kerr St. Ministries is helping families from Oakville deal with their financial problems. For without the help they receive here at KSM they would find poverty at their door.
Working with children isn't an easy task, but at Kerr Street Ministries they know how to maximize the time they spend with these children. They recognize that it is important to gain trust and respect from both the kids and their families.
The challenges they face: handling all ages, with a wide variety of situations, and helping families have a more productive life. KSM helps the children and the teens, knowing what they have to live with every day.
It's a long path being walked by the staff and volunteers at KSM, to keep motivated, to understand, to be flexible and adaptable to the specific needs of the families and kids is a challenge they handle each day. When Gary offered me a tour of the facilities I saw the light, it was a genuine shine radiating from him. The fluency of his speech, the passion in his words, and the light in his eyes showed me what KSM is capable of accomplishing.
I have a little knowledge of some of the charities here in Canada, and I have to say that it seems Canadians have all covered. But for me, with my personal backgroud groing close to some Latin American Charities (Fe y Alegria, OSCASI, Damas Salesianas, Fundacion Corazon de Maria),this one is truly is amazing, has grown full with creativity, local compromise and great reputation. The exciting piece is that it is located in the heart of Oakville, available for local families who need help.
Club 31:
That's 31 minutes with 31 kids doing homework!
Starting last January, KSM included a guided teaching experience designed to help children who need assistance with their homework. Some just needed a little extra practice to improve their learning experience, while others were seeking to "Grade Up" with a serious incentive to study.
Below is a Q & A with Gary O´Neil, Excecutive Director of Kerr Street Ministries
LL: How did you come up with the idea to create Club 31?
We have worked with the schools that are close to Kerr Street Ministries, and found out that the kids needed support for their homework and that the grades were coming down. Most of the kids were already part of our after school programs and we decided to be focused on their academic performance. It was a real problem that their families weren't able to pay for extra lessons to help them with this. Kids just don´t feel that learning and good grades is something important because they see it in the distance, not important for today.
We formed an alliance with the Michael "Pinball" Clemons Foundation (MPCF), Oakville Toyota-SCION and Lexus of Oakville, and together we designed a $1.000 RESP award to students that showed improvement with their academic grades, discipline and ability to manage their study time.
LL: How can you get them to sit and do the work?
First we only ask them to stay for this task for a short period of their time. We also offer them the possibility of the $1.000 from Toyota-Lincoln fund. The teacher is very motivating so we invite them to think beyond their homework and bring their learning experience into a real life situation. Chemistry, Physics and Math become more real when the children understand how they can be involved in their world.
LL: Can any child from Oakville join your Club 31?
Yes. For the moment it is designed for 31 children, and we have two groups, one for children that are still in Elementary School and the other is for teenagers from High school. The first group comes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the other group comes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They have to apply and demonstrate that their family has a low income. Any child, in either category from any Oakville School is welcomed.
We asked them: "Why don't you do your homework here instead of doing it at home when you get back from the after School Program?" It just made sense for them, and voluntarily they joined in the groups.
LL: Do the children have the possibility to choose if they want to work on their homework for 31 minutes, or it is a compromise?
They are always allowed to choose and obviously they rather be playing basketball than doing their homework. But at a certain point they get it, especially if the find out that the gym or the park is empty because the other kids are in Club 31 room. Some bring friends and are starting to get into the habit. They know that afterwards they will get a snack and free time in the gym to play whatever they want until 6 pm.
I always quote the old saying, "You can lead the horse to the water but you cannot make them to drink", so they have to figure that this temporary sacrifice will be a long term achievement.
LL: Is Club 31 seeking volunteers as teachers?
We are open to anyone who will want to contribute with Club 31. Right know our volunteers are retired or non-working professionals with a teaching background. But we still need more support that can come from anyone with teaching experience. They must be willing to help by sharing their own experience. Sometimes kids have essays to write, so it's not only math or sciences that they need help with.
LL: Have you identified a specific population that needs Club 31?
We have identified that some clients are immigrants in the process adapting to the Canadian lifestyle. Some have been here for a long time, but have a very low income, and are often without a job. Club 31 also has Canadian kids whose families cannot finance the academic extra support needed and they come to us.

By Mike Allen and Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writers
Monday, February 7, 2005; Page A01
President Bush plans to unveil a $2.5 trillion budget today eliminating dozens of politically sensitive domestic programs, including funding for education, environmental protection and business development, while proposing significant increases for the military and international spending, according to White House documents.
Overall, discretionary spending other than defense and homeland security would fall by nearly 1 percent, the first time in many years that funding for the major part of the budget controlled by Congress would actually go down in real terms, according to officials with access to the budget. The cuts are scattered across a wide swath of the government, affecting a cross-section of constituents, from migrant workers to train passengers to local police departments, according to officials who read portions of the documents to The Washington Post.
About 150 programs in all would be shuttered or radically cut back to help meet Bush's goal of shaving the budget deficit in half by 2009. One out of every three of the targeted programs concerns education. Medicaid funding would be reduced significantly and even major military weapons programs would be scrapped to make more resources available for the war in Iraq.
The spending blueprint for fiscal 2006 and beyond promises to touch off a wrenching debate about national priorities in the months ahead.
Some congressional officials pronounced many of the proposed cuts dead on arrival. One lawmaker involved in the negotiations said that House and Senate leaders have told the White House that no more than two dozen of the 150 proposals are likely to be accepted, although Congress might agree to reductions in some programs targeted for elimination.
"We are being tight," Vice President Cheney said yesterday. "This is the tightest budget that has been submitted since we got here." But Cheney defended the cuts as measured. "I think you'll find, once people sit down and have a chance to look at the budget, that it is a fair, reasonable, responsible, serious piece of effort," he said on "Fox News Sunday." "It's not something we've done with a meat ax, nor are we suddenly turning our back on the most needy people in our society."
Some administration officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the budget has not been released, acknowledged that they faced an uphill struggle on the proposed cuts, some of which were rejected in the past. One official said the White House plans an elaborate marketing strategy to sell the cuts to voters and lawmakers as "centralizing government services and saving taxpayer money."
But nearly every program targeted for elimination has a patron on Capitol Hill, and the administration has assembled a list that may prove particularly dicey. "This is a long list of sensitive programs," said a congressional leadership aide. "A lot of these proposals we've been through before and the programs have survived. This is going to be a tough sell for the president."
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said in an interview that although many of the requests will be opposed, he believes that Congress will still cut "tens of millions of dollars and set the standard that the federal government can stop doing things that it shouldn't be doing, or is not doing well."
And some deficit hawks welcomed what they hoped would be a hard-nosed approach to spending at a time when the deficit is projected to reach a record $427 billion this year. "With the deficits that we're now running, I'm glad the president is coming over with a very austere budget," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on ABC's "This Week." "I hope we in Congress will have the courage to support it."
The spending plan does not include future expenses of the continuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, nor does it include upfront transition costs of restructuring Social Security as Bush has proposed. The administration will submit a separate supplemental request largely for Afghanistan and Iraq operations in the current fiscal year, which will be reflected in the budget charts, officials said, but war costs in 2006 and beyond will not be. Nor will be the cost of Bush's Social Security plan, which would begin in 2009 and result in $754 billion in additional debt over its first five years.
Those omissions provide ammunition to Democrats who dispute Bush's math. "The Administration's claim that it will cut the deficit in half by 2009 lacks credibility," said a report released last week by House Budget Committee Democrats. When the omitted items are included, along with the impact of making Bush's first-term tax cuts permanent, the report estimated that the government would rack up $6.1 trillion in deficit spending over the next decade.
Administration officials said they would outline a five-year spending plan that would cut deeply enough that it could still accommodate future Iraq and Social Security costs without sacrificing the president's deficit-cutting pledge. "We have acknowledged that there may be additional spending," said Chad Kolton, spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget. "Our numbers will show that even with some additional spending from the war in Iraq, we'll still be half" of the deficit by 2009.
Another senior official said the deficit in the Bush plan would decrease from 3.5 percent of gross national product this year to 3 percent in fiscal 2006 and 1.5 percent by 2009, enough to meet Bush's pledge. In the budget for 2006, discretionary spending -- meaning other than entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare -- would rise just 2.1 percent, lower than the expected rate of inflation. Within that category, extra money would go to defense and homeland security, leaving most other discretionary programs frozen or falling.
Some top Bush priorities would still find more funding despite the belt-tightening. The president earmarked $3.2 billion for fighting AIDS around the world and increased foreign operations and development aid by 17 percent, officials said. Bush hopes to spend $304 million to build more community health centers, particularly in rural areas. And the Defense Department would receive an extra $19 billion to reach $419.3 billion, not including special appropriations for the war.
Still, the administration plans to cut costly weapons programs such as an Air Force advanced fighter plane, a stealthy Navy destroyer and the next generation of nuclear submarines. Bush's missile defense program would likewise lose billions of dollars in funding in coming years.
On the domestic side, according to documents, the budget would consolidate 18 community development block grant programs into one Commerce Department program for a savings of $1.8 billion. It would slice law enforcement grants to states from $2.8 billion to $1.5 billion. And it would cut 48 education programs totaling $4.3 billion, including $2.2 billion for high school programs, mostly state grants for vocational education.
The budget would cut $440 million in Safe and Drug-Free School grants, $500 million in education technology state grants, $225 million for the Even Start literacy program, $280 million for Upward Bound programs for inner-city youths and a $150 million talent research program, according to the documents.
The budget includes no subsidy for Amtrak and would eliminate $20 million for the next generation of high-speed rail and $250 million for railroad rehabilitation. Several Energy Department programs would be eliminated, as would $100 million in grants for land and water conservation. The budget proposal would cut $94 million in grants for the Healthy Communities Access Program and phase out rural health grants, the documents said. Bush touted his commitment to such programs during his reelection campaign. The president would terminate the Community Food and Nutrition Program, and cut a migrant and seasonal farm worker training program. He would renew his effort to cut a $143 million program for the removal of severely distressed housing.
Administration officials said that in some cases, programs identified for eradication would be replaced in part by increased spending elsewhere. Some cuts in specific programs would be replaced by block grants to states and localities, although critics contend that often leads to less money.

Rhoda began the study of Ortho-Bionomy in early 2001 She is an Advanced Practiotioner and Instructor and currently practices in Cochrane, Alberta. Her interest in Ortho-Bionomy came as a result of her search for wellness after a sudden, seven year long bout with severe nervous system reactions to contact with everything of a chemical nature. During those years her life was turned upside down as she was consumed with the need to find some relief and to regain her previous good health.
"My path on the search for wellness led me through many modalities and supplemental programs, which helped immensely in the beginning, but progress was slow and after seven years it seemed to me that I was at a stand still in my recovery process. I knew there must be a missing link that was keeping me from moving forward in my journey. I then turned my attention to Ortho-Bionomy and after my very first session with a practitioner, I knew that this totally holistic approach was working to reawaken my body's own ability to heal. Ortho-Bionomy assisted in helping me to become aware of the repetitive patterns within my body, which were keeping me stuck where I was."
Rhoda made the decision at that time to learn all she could about Ortho-Bionomy with the intention of helping others. She soon came to know that this gentle, non-invasive work, and trusting in the body's wisdom to heal itself, could be of great benefit to all. She has integrated Ortho-Bionomy into her life and loves helping others to find peace, joy and contentment in their lives, through a healthy body, mind and spirit.

Northern British Columbia, Peace Region Having coffee on the road this morning, somewhere in the northernmost section of the Rocky Mountains. The pines are thick needled, rich in color, the deepest green. They are minty-edged, tall, untouched, unscathed. The birches and aspens edged out miles ago but you see them on occasion and they are lovely.
Mossy rock and pure white meadows of flowers, turquoise rivers. The charcoal grays and black soils are heady, moist. Each turn brings a new dramatically cut mountain or sequences of mist-shrouded lines, a softly jagged edge of pine blurring into a defined bit against the sky.
I needed to write it here, while in it - my cameras weren't adequate enough. I rested them on my lap and pulled out my pencil and journal. I needed some record of this drive, the sights of it on this chilly, rainy, northernmost morning.

DROUIN Vic 3818
History of Drouin
Drouin was originally a dense forest, and so development was delayed. However, in 1870 a small settlement had developed. In 1878 the Gippsland Railway opened and what was known to be Drouin Junction was renamed as Drouin. Drouin took prominence as the administrative centre of the Buln Buln Shire.
In the 1880s a number of small sawmills operated in and around Drouin. By the 1890s Dairy farming started to become popular. Some of the produce included butter and cheese. In 1904 a co-operative butter factory was established in Drouin. The factory expanded producing casein, skim milk and butter-oil. However, it was eventually acquired by Bonlac (now Fonterra) and eventually closed down by that company. The town lost its largest employer at that stage.
Main street Drouin, circa 1944
Since that time the town has continued to grow. By 1993 there were 1,000 residents. By 1991 it was 4,100. Drouin now forms part of a combined urban area which includes Warragul. In June 2016 the urban population of this area was 35,353.
In February each year Drouin hosts a Ficifolia festival, celebrating the beautiful flowering gums which line the town's main street.

It's not such a secret that I love the countryside. Some people simply don't like driving - I love it. Every time I drive a road which I've never been on I feel like an explorer travelling to somewhere my body experiencing for the first time. Perhaps I should be jet setting around the globe, but that doesn't thrill me as much as learning about towns around me.
One day I took a rather random drive down West Gippsland way and loved it. I fell in love with the place. That school holidays I planned a family get away staying at a cabin in Neerim South. It so happened that whilst my family was out horse riding I had to stay in the cabin writing a Government report. Whilst doing that, I researched more about Drouin and realised that hang on - this place is booming! I found a quaint place which I thought would make a great location for a clinic, called up the real estate agent, and scheduled a meeting for during the week. After visiting Toorongo Falls and catching a few desperate trout at Alpine Trout Farm, Noojee the whole family wandered into Drouin, drove passed the house, stopped off at McDonald's Drouin and all round had a ball! We drove on to Korumburra to see Coal Creek - a place I myself had visited as a kid (Dad worked for the railways and loved trains!). So Atticus Health Drouin was a winner!
Since that time, I find myself making all sorts of excuses to drive there. Now I must comment on one thing - Drouin McDonald's has been the most happy, pleasant McDonald's which I have ever met. I know, I know, I'm a Doctor, and I shouldn't by rights be eating fast food too often - and I don't think I do, but I do - sometimes. Hey - I'm a father of 5 kids living somewhere in the middle - we do eat fast food sometimes. And, every time I've been to that McDonald's drive thru since, the staff have been just so friendly, great ambassadors for Drouin!
Now there's something else to say about Atticus Health Drouin - I had the right Doctor - Dr Sheetal Karande. Over the years I've learnt just how important the right people are to a place, and I know that Atticus Health Drouin will go well, because I know Dr Karande is working there. I have worked with her over the years, and so - she's a known quantity. I know she's a great Doctor.
As I write this, we've virtually only just opened the doors at Drouin, so who knows where this will all lead. However, one thing I do know, we'll remain committed to providing a medical clinic which has real IMPACT and creates a sense of BELONGING for patients and the community and we'll strive hard make the community of Drouin a stronger place as result of our involvement.
Atticus Health Drouin - Post working bee!

SCAU, the Paris based architects, have won the new 20 000 seats stadium for the Africa Nations Cup (CAN 2021) in Yamoussoukro, the administrative capital of Ivory Coast.
In September 2017, SCAU teamed up with Sogea Satom (Vinci group), Baudin Chateauneuf (steel structure), Alcor (seating specialist) and Egis (engineers) to submit a Design + Build + Finance package to the Minister of Leisure and Sport and COCAN – the organising committee for Ivory Coast. 45 offers were submitted from around the world with a majority coming from Chinese based construction consortiums. Brazil, Portugal, Morocco and Turkey were also represented. The SCAU was the only French submission.
Situated on the east side of the city, SCAU took an approach to create a stadium that was both monumental and minimalist. Monumental - to create a strong image for Ivory Coast that will be broadcast around the world. Minimalist – to ensure a simple low cost in use building with a long life.
The west stand houses all the programme for the stadium, the other 3 stands are dug into the ground, taking advantage of a natural slope in the site. This reduces the amount of built infrastructure to be maintained. Also, this adds to the excitement of arrival at a match. The spectator arrives at the top of the stands and has a clear expansive view of the entire stadium, moves down to the seat and approaches the pitch.
A single roof covers all the stands rising and falling to adapt to the volume underneath and focuses the attention towards the pitch.
As with all SCAU's stadiums, they paid particular attention to life of the stadium after the event. The heritage of a stadium is key to its profitability and maintenance and so SCAU consulted with various local sports and education groups to imagine how some of the spaces maybe used on a daily basis after CAN.
Building work is due to start on site mid 2018 with completion mid 2020. The cost is 56M€.
SCAU are already well known for other Stadium projects in France and around the world – Stade de France, Paris, Olympic Stadium Ataturk and the Velodrome renovation in Marseille are amongst some of their work. In 2013 SCAU developed the Stadium Square concept with Tractebel which allowed a stadium to be completely converted into a mixed use building complex around a central square (the old pitch).

#2140 Marine Links Con Air Sister Override to Serco's Red Switch Boeing Hijacks, Cake Boy's Oval Office Phones
Plum City – (AbelDanger.net): United States Marine Field McConnell has linked the decoy override capability developed for the Con Air fleet of planes by his sister Kristine Marcy in the mid-'90s to Serco's alleged use of the Red Switch Network to hijack two Boeing aircraft of Malaysia Airlines and bypass the Oval Office phones of Chicago's Down Low Club Cake Boy – Barack Obama.
"To this day, people in Chicago are still scared about being murdered for talking about Barack Obama being gay or about what goes on at Trinity United with the still-active "Down Low Club". Young, gay, black men are mentored into the club and are eventually paired up with often unattractive and difficult to deal with straight black women who never have boyfriends (since guys don't want to have anything to do with them). A friend of mine in the "Think Squad" of prominent black professionals I talk to regularly calls these women "heifers" and says it's very common for "cake boys" to be paired up with "heifers" so that "dummies are fooled" into thinking they are straight."
McConnell claims that Con Air Marcy and Serco's National Security Adviser Maureen Baginski transferred Serco's Red Switch Network operations from the United States National Command Authority to an Airbus PFI at RAF Oakhanger which thereby gave Serco agents the ability to impute ad hoc way points and override flight plans for any Boeing aircraft and attribute hijack landings or crashes to, for example, a radical Muslim pilot (MH 370) or a stolen Russian missile (MH17).
McConnell also claims that Marcy and Baginski arranged for Serco's Red Switch phones to be removed from the Oval Office Desk and the White House Situation Room so that, even if the Cake Boy was capable of recognizing a man-in-the-middle attack, he could not override the Wag the Dog Script developed for the MH hijacks by his erstwhile associates at the Down Low Club.
McConnell recommends that Serco shares be suspended until Abel Danger has completed its investigation into his sister's and Serco's apparent transfer of Red Switch Override privileges to deal with hijacked aircraft, from the Cake Boy Oval Office to the Airbus PFI at RAF Oakhanger.

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near."
"[McConnell infers Marcy's hijack decoy override signature from the Con Air movements of Timothy McVeigh] http://www.ufomind.com/area51/list/1997/jan/a07-008.shtml "Con-Air" in 1/6 San Diego Union Tribune Nichols and McVeigh were transported in the dead of night in an operation much akin to a clandestine military operation, Little said. He did not want to go into details but mentioned that a decoy plane was among the ploys used to guard against possible attempts by supporters to free the suspects. Federal officials have always been circumspect about the fine points of prisoner movement. But ConAir soon could gain a higher public profile with the planned release in June of a movie by the same name. In the Disney film, Nicolas Cage plays a hapless prisoner who wanders into a hijack plot aboard a Marshals Service plane carrying a group of high-security inmates. The Hollywood marshals rough up some of the prisoners, and the plane crashes, leaving the real Marshals Service frowning on the silver screen's invention, said Kristine Marcy, a top official in charge of detentions [and decoy contract hits]. "We don't beat up our prisoners, and our planes certainly don't crash," Marcy said on a recent trip to San Diego, where she was trying to find more jail space for federal prisoners."
"MAYDAY 08.01.14 Malaysia Airlines Is Going Down
The disappearance of one flight and shooting down of another has pushed the inefficient carrier to the brink of collapse. Is there anyone who can fly them out of danger?
The double catastrophes that struck Malaysia Airlines within a few months have left a business that was already weak in a desperate fight for survival.
Even before the Ukrainian atrocity, analysts predicted that the airline would run out of cash some time next year. Now the cash situation is more critical amid reports from travel agents in Asia that many passengers are cancelling flights booked on the airline.
Earlier this year Malaysian reported its worst first-quarter loss, of $137 million. Before the shooting down of Flight 17 the value of the company's shares had dropped 16 percent. They are now down by 29 percent.
The airline has given few clues to its thinking. There have been reports from Kuala Lumpur, not confirmed by the airline, that it is considering changing its name and restructuring its operations, including cutting some routes and adding others. Whatever the outcome, none of the experts I have spoken to believe that the airline can continue in its existing form.
"The most obvious option might be to let the airline go bust," Craig Jenks, an analyst at Airline/Aircraft Projects, told The Daily Beast. "But that is politically impossible."
It's politically impossible for two reasons: The airline is a flag carrier, a symbol of national pride—and it's bankrolled by a state-owned strategic investment fund, Khazanah, that doesn't want the value of its investment to be wiped out. Among the 50 or so companies that the fund backs, the airline has proved to be an incessant headache: In 10 years it has swallowed more than $1.6 billion with no sign of a lasting turnaround. And that was before the disappearance of Flight 370 in March and the missile strike on Flight 17 two weeks ago.
For its size, Malaysia Airlines has a huge staff of 20,000, most of them organized by a very militant group, the Malaysia Airline Systems Employees Union, MASEU. In the past the union has effectively blocked attempts to trim staff, but this time it could face a tough ultimatum: accept layoffs or see the whole business tank.
In 10 years it has swallowed more than $1.6 billion with no sign of a lasting turnaround.
If it cannot declare bankruptcy, what can be done?
"There are two other options," says Jenks. "The airline could be de-listed and re-nationalized by the government, with the aspiration of re-privatizing at a much later date. The recent resurgence of Japan Airlines suggests that it is possible for a flag carrier to be declared insolvent, privatized and radically restructured."
"Or another option would be an asset transfer where a possible taker would be AirAsia, a Malaysian airline that has a very different low-cost business model but also has a long-haul subsidiary and aspirations."
As Jenks suggests, tying up with AirAsia would make sense as the most savvy business decision.
Air Asia is run by a flamboyant character called Tony Fernandez. At the recent Farnborough Air Show it was Fernandez who became the first customer for the new Airbus A330neo, ordering 50 of them. He had been urging Airbus to introduce this upgrade of the ubiquitous A330 because it will provide optimum efficiency for his low-cost long-haul operation, AirAsia X.
When Fernandez got control of AirAsia it had been a limping, government-subsidized flop. By adopting the U.S. and European no-frills budget model he transformed it and tapped into a huge pent-up demand—he estimated that half of AirAsia's passengers took their first flight on his airline, and he attracted them with the slogan "Now everyone can fly."
Just how inefficient Malaysian Airlines is was rubbed home earlier this year when the magazine Aviation Week published its annual assessment of airline financial performance. In the category of airlines with annual revenues of between $2 billion and $6 billion, Malaysian came second to the bottom, at No. 23.
Asia is one of the fastest-growing airline markets in the world but profit margins are thin. Older "legacy" carriers like Malaysian feel that they have to support long-haul international routes to the U.S. and Europe so that they can appear to be major players. Malaysian bought five superjumbo Airbus A380s as much as a matter of prestige as of business logic. But at the same time their own domestic markets are being raided by a new generation of budget airlines, and they can't compete.
Another threat comes from the Gulf states, particularly Emirates based in Dubai. For example, Australian airline Quantas has teamed with Emirates to provide 14 daily nonstops between Australia and Dubai. The message is clear: The most competitive long-haul airlines will overfly some of Asia's key hubs like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Bangkok on routes where an Asian connection is not important.
However, Fernandez's AirAsia X sees that threat as an opportunity to build a low-cost long-haul fleet that serves Asian hubs (including India and China) and simultaneously feeds passengers into its regional network served by the low-cost AirAsia.
As for changing Malaysia Airline's name, there is a precedent. A no-frills airline called ValuJet served cities in the eastern U.S. and Canada in the early 1990s. It operated a fleet of very old airplanes and had such a woeful safety record that FAA inspectors wanted to ground it. But before the FAA acted an ancient ValuJet DC-9 crashed in Florida, killing 110 people. The cause was a fire that originated in cargo that had not been properly inspected.
ValuJet was then merged with AirWays Corporation and rebranded as AirTran. In 2011, Southwest Airlines bought AirTran; by next year that name, too, will disappear and then the original stigma of ValuJet will be long forgotten. But the problem of Malaysian Airlines is really much deeper than something that can be wished away by a makeover: The airline is a midget in a world of giants with yearly passenger loads of around 4.2 million. American Airlines carries more than 193 million passengers a year and Europe's largest international airline, Lufthansa, carries 76.3 million. Airlines like Malaysian are too small to be competitive internationally, and as long as they carry crippling overhead costs they are trapped in a cycle of diminishing returns.
Time to call Tony."
"February 4, 2012 Does Obama really lack cool phones?
In April last year, US president Obama told some fundraisers that he was disappointed by the communications equipment he found in the White House:
"I always thought I was gonna have like really cool phones and stuff," he said during a Q&A session with contributors at a fund-raising meeting in Chicago on April 14, 2011.
"We can't get our phones to work." Acting out his exasperation, he said: "Come on, guys. I'm the president of the United States! Where's the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn't happen."
Obama made these remarks after the press pool had left and may not have realized some reporters back at the White House could still hear his comments. The president was probably responding to a question about bottlenecks in technological innovation and he used his White House experience as an example.
A lot of people would probably like to believe these remarks of the president, symbolizing the outdated state of the federal government. But in fact, what Obama said, isn't quite true.
In 2006-2007 president George W. Bush had the White House Situation Room completely renovated, providing it with state-of-the-art communications facilities. Since then the real Situation Room has all the phones and videoscreens and other stuff, which was before only seen in movies.
This series, which was broadcasted between 2001 and 2010, shaped people's imagination of the presidency and was in many ways a forerunner of reality. For example there was a popular black president (David Palmer) years before Obama was elected, and much of the fancy communications equipment from the series, like video teleconferencing, was implemented in the real White House Situation Room in 2007. And now the real president also has the same cool Cisco phone as the heroes used in the tv-series.
So, as we have seen, Obama didn't really tell the truth. The story he told the fundraisers was true during the beginning of the Bush administration, but not during his. Obama actually has some quite cool phones at his disposal, but maybe the only thing is that he just doesn't realize that."
"Diverse and talented: The people of Alcatel-Lucent Standing with the LGBT community
Alcatel-Lucent was named to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index for the fourth year in a row.

Alcatel-Lucent is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in diversity, and we are very proud of our repeated ability to be recognized at the highest level in this equality index."
"Unlike the federal government and its prime contractors, many states and some local municipal governments, corporate America is not mandated by law to use veteran-owned suppliers. But that doesn't mean they've turned their back on VOBs. In fact some private corporations – which exist to turn a profit – have found VOB suppliers to be one of their best options when building their supply chains.
Once again, NaVOBA and Vetrepreneur are saluting the best of those corporations with the Best Corporations for Veteran-Owned Businesses. These 10 corporations stand head-and-shoulders above corporate America for their efforts to include veteran-owned business and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses in their supplier diversity programs. On the following pages you will see why they were chosen and what effort they've made to include VOBs in their supply chains.
This year, we are doing things a little bit different. These 10 companies represent only NON-DEFENSE companies. Because defense contractors are naturally enticed by federal government mandates to contract with VOB suppliers, we've separated them out into their own list, thus creating a more even playing field. The top five DEFENSE contractors can be found immediately following these 10 non-defense companies.

"New military hotline directly links top brass to U.S.
$20M project, called Defence Red Switch Network, to be used in times of war, crisis
David Pugliese, The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Saturday, January 14, 2006
Canada is installing a hotline that will allow military brass and politicians to talk with their American counterparts during a time of war or in any other crisis.
About $20 million is being spent on what is called the Defence Red Switch Network. The communications system is already running in some locations, including the defence minister's office and other undisclosed sites for the military's senior leadership. The system will provide a link for the Canadian government to various U.S. military headquarters as well as the North American Aerospace Defence Command, the joint U.S.-Canada alliance that monitors air and space approaches to the continent.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, there was criticism that senior Canadian officials, including then-prime minister Jean Chretien, were out of the communications loop during the initial stages of the terrorist strike.
The Citizen obtained documents on the red switch network under the access to information law, but Defence Department officials censored almost all details. They claimed releasing the material would be "injurious" to the defence of Canada, its international relations, as well as the detection of subversive or hostile activities.
The newspaper, however, found the details of the supposedly secret network, including its cost to taxpayers, on the department's own public webpage. Details of a similar system that would allow U.S. President George W. Bush to communicate with his top level commanders was also on a Pentagon webpage.
Canadian military officials were not available to explain why information about the network is considered secret when such details have already been put out in the public domain by both the U.S. and Canada.
The red switch network is considered secure, meaning that it has technology to prevent its transmissions from being monitored or intercepted. Presumably the Canadian system can link up with the president's network.
Martin Shadwick, a strategic studies professor with York University, said such a system makes sense in that Canada and the U.S. share a common goal in protecting North America. He noted that similar communications systems existed during the Cold War.
But analyst Steve Staples said the hotline is another example of the growing integration of the U.S. and Canadian militaries and the increased involvement of the Canadian Forces in American-led operations. "This system just allows the Canadian military and government leaders to get their orders from Washington more quickly," said Mr. Staples, an analyst with the Ottawa-based Polaris Institute.
The Citizen requested information on the red switch network almost four weeks ago, but military officials have not been available to comment.
But according to the Defence webpage, the network "allows access to the U.S. system (Forces wide) and will enhance north/south and internal connectivity — particularly during times of crisis."
According to a Pentagon site, the network provides the president, secretary of defence, joint chiefs of staff, combatant commanders and selected agencies with secure voice communications up to the top secret level. The system is for use during war and other emergencies. Other U.S. defence and federal government agencies can access the network if they have approval from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, according to the site."

When I retired, I wasn't sure what I would do to fill my time. I write romantic suspense under Karen Blake-Hall, and I also write paranormal erotic romance under Kayden Claremont, but I can't write all the time so my friend and I decided to go take a beading course.
We signed up for a course Jewelry 101. It was all about stringing beads. Sounds easy, right?
Choosing the beads was great fun. I close black beads with silver hearts to make the bracelet. We worked out the pattern on the multi strand beading design board.
Stringing the beads was easy, but before we did it, we had to attach the lobster clasp. Now that was harder than you would think. After we put the stringing wire through clasp, we had to then take a crimping bead and attach it to the wires, then clamp it tight so the wires did not move. I dropped the crimping bead about a dozen times, but I finally got the hang of it.
Then I took the beads from the design board and strung them. I was delighted with my success. Then I faced the hardest part of the evening. We cut the wire, wrapped it thought a joining ring then had to stick it back through the beads to make it tight. Then I struggled to get the final crimping bead on it.
The result was a lovely black and silver bracelet.
Next time I tell you the story about beading a necklace and making matching earrings.
Have you ever beaded?
