Nanofluids with their enhanced thermal conductivity are believed to be a promising coolant in heat transfer applications. In this study, carbon nanotube (CNT) nanofluids of 0.01 wt%, stabilised by 1.0 wt% gum arabic were used as a cooling liquid in a concentric tube laminar flow heat exchanger. The flow rate of cold fluid varied from 10 to 50 g/s. Both experimental and numerical simulations were carried out to determine the heat transfer enhancement using CNT nanofluids. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were carried out using Fluent v 6.3 by assuming single-phase approximation. Thermal conductivity, density and rheology of the nanofluid were also measured as a function of temperature. The results showed thermal conductivity enhancement from 4% to 125% and nearly 70% enhancement in heat transfer with increase in flow rate. Numerical results exhibited good agreement with the experimental results with a deviation of +-3:0%. CNT nanofluids at 0.01 wt% CNTs showed Newtonian behaviour with no significant increase in the density.

(ANN ARBOR) – Today, in a 5-4 ruling, the United States Supreme Court ruled in McCutcheon v. FEC that the aggregate limits imposed on campaign contributions through the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 are invalid under the First Amendment. Since significant First Amendment interests were at stake in this case, the Court held that the aggregate limits imposed by Congress on campaign contributions do not further the permissible government interest in preventing quid pro quo corruption or the appearance of corruption. After the ruling, today Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) released this statement:
|U.S. Representative
John Conyers, Jr.
"Today, America's electoral integrity suffered a second blow by the Roberts Court as their ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC was issued, striking down limits on overall campaign contribution from individual donors. In 2002, Congress passed the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act to eliminate the ability of wealthy donors to contribute millions of dollars to political parties - over the voices and votes of those who cannot financially flood the electoral system. Until today, the courts had consistently upheld that the contribution limits and aggregate limits were permissible tools in Congress's arsenal to fight the actuality or appearance of corruption. However, the decision in McCutcheon v. FEC will dangerously impact Congress's ability to protect the electoral process from corruption," said Conyers.
"In past rulings, the Courts have always struck a balance between Congress's authority to place limits on campaign contributions and the constitutional notion that contributions are speech. However, over the last decade, our nation's campaign finance laws have been under attack by those who seek to unleash unlimited contributions in our political system. Since the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United, the confidence of the America people has been impaired, necessitating Congress determine how to best protect equal access to our political system. The Supreme Court's ruling today removes the deference that was traditionally left by the Court for Congress to protect its interest in preventing corruption.
"This is a government by the people and for the people, not just the privileged few. The Supreme Court's decision today will increase the power of a small set of wealthy donors who seek to determine the outcome of our elections system."Voting is beautiful, be beautiful ~ vote.©

Round Barrow(s)
View all content for Gunschurch
I'm assuming Gun's Church is this round barrow - but please, if you have local knowledge and it is a different barrow, do contradict me.
I read in Kathleen Wiltshire's 'Ghosts and Legends of Wiltshire' that the barrow is in the SE end of Hill Deverill parish. The local lords of the manor were the Coker family. The last in the line, Henry, died in 1730, but he haunts the district still. He's known as 'Old Coker'.
To me this sounds like another name for the devil - and when you hear what his ghost gets up to it rather sounds like the folklore isn't just about a local landowner.
Old Coker follows his hounds in a phantom hunt round the barrow. Kathleen reports from her informant in 1971, a Mr J Vyner, that 'sounds of horses galloping, chains rattling and horns blowing have lately been heard'. Does this not bring to mind tales of Odin / the Devil and his Wild Hunt with his hellhounds?
The name of the barrow is intriguing too - what does it mean?
So the stories were collected by Kathleen Wiltshire in the 1970s, but it seems they were doing the rounds nearly a hundred years before, too, when John U. Powell wrote them down.
The 'Spectral Hunt' is attached to the name of 'Old Coker' who drives his hounds round 'Gun's Church,' the name of a round barrow on a down at the south-east extremity of Hill [Deverill] parish, or through his 'grounds' by the house, 'horses galloping and chains rattling' and the horn sounding. (1889.)
Folklore Notes from South-West Wilts
John U. Powell
Folklore, Vol. 12, No. 1. (Mar., 1901), pp. 71-83.
one is almost tempted from the similarity of wording to suspect Ms Wiltshire of fibbing.
The whole parish seems to be awash in strange stories, and Kathleen collected tales of headless figures in the churchyard, buried treasure, and the appearance of dead inhabitants at Midsummer Eve. They seem to have long memories there too - redheads were locally referred to as 'Daners'.

Top 10 Best Harem Anime
Cheeky Kid has been watching anime and reading manga for as long as he can remember. Doing so takes him to different worlds.
What Is Harem Anime?
Harem (HRM) is an anime genre where there's usually one main character who's surrounded by multiple characters of the opposite sex (who are usually all potential love interests). As particular as it is and given the fact that it can lead to all sorts of predictable situations (awkward or not), this genre is often mixed in with romance, comedy, and ecchi.
The main character is usually male. If the protagonist is female with multiple male suitors, then the anime is referred to as a reverse harem (reverse HRM).
Since this genre is a fairly popular these days (amassing a huge fan base and producing a lot of titles), I decided to make a top 10 list of the best harem anime you can watch and enjoy. Have fun!
By the way, if you're also interested in the gender reversal of this genre, check out the top 10 best reverse harem anime.
The Top Ten Harem Anime
- To Love-Ru
- Date A Live
- The World God Only Knows
- Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Haganai)
- Nisekoi
- Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata (Saekano)
- Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko (The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat)
- Grisaia no Kajitsu
- Trinity Seven
- Nagasarete Airantou
10. Nagasarete Airantou
Nagasarete Airantou is about one guy and a deserted island full of girls. On top of that, all the girls are obsessively curious about the guy (because they've never seen one before). So, they try to chase him every minute of every single day. Being chased by a lot of girls might be a dream come true for most guys, but for Ikuto Touhouin, it's a horrible nightmare. Withholding that fact, this show is legitimately a star of this genre.
The show follows the story of Ikuto Touhouin, a 14-year-old boy who's at the peak of his youth. After getting into a fight with his father, he decides to run away and go on vacation by boarding a ship. However, it never crossed his mind that his simple vacation would turn into a one-of-a-kind experience. When a storm hits the ship, he gets thrown into the ocean only to wake up on a peculiar island with its population entirely made up of, well, girls.
9. Trinity Seven
It's one special guy with a cast of several equally special gals. But, that's not all there is to this series. What marks this anime as special is the main character's unique quality that separates him from other protagonists in the genre. Arata Kasuga gets along smoothly with his entire all-girl troupe, like a conforming wave in the vast ocean. He's not dense at all and is totally aware of everything.
When a black sun shows up in the sky bringing forth a phenomenon called the Collapse Phenomenon, Arata Kasuga realizes that something's terribly off with the world—his cousin Hijiri Kasuga goes missing and a mysterious magician is after him. After realizing what is happening, and taking the grimoire into his possession, Arata decides to enroll in a mage academy to look for his cousin. There, he meets the best-of-the-best when it comes to magic and skills—the Trinity Seven!
Recommended Ecchi Anime
The word ecchi comes from how Japanese speakers pronounce the letter H. The H refers to the word hentai, although ecchi refers to a different genre. Ecchi anime typically features fanservice and suggestive themes, although it is still generally suitable for television. Ecchi and harem anime often go together, so here are some recommendations of the genre.
- B Gata H Kei
- Heaven's Lost Property
- High School of the Dead
- High School DxD
- Ikki Tousen
8. Grisaia no Kajitsu
It doesn't get any more unique than this! Grisaia no Kaijutsu isn't your standard HRM anime with all the regular tropes and usual elements. For one, this anime is in the psychological genre (a rarity for HRM). Also, it's packed with thrills, serious developments, and a ton of suspense—all qualities that make this one exceptional and different from others. It manages to both contain some of the essential elements of a HRM show and a psychological thriller. It's marvelously tied together.
The story takes place at a special school that's dedicated to reforming students who are bad apples. There, we'll meet five female students with lives each holding terrible and regrettable secrets. Up until now, everyone attending the school was female. But then, one day, a male student comes in to join the class with them. Despite everyone having dark secrets of their own, the new student Kazami Yuuji might just have the most controversial secret and darkest past of them all.
7. Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko (The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat)
If you think that this is another senseless HRM show with overused clichés and whatnot, then you're actually right . . . and also wrong! You're in for a big surprise! Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko might seem pretty average in terms of story and consistency. However, the characters (especially the main character) make up for this, resulting in an above-average HRM. Harem? Check. A bit of ecchi? Check. Comedy? Check. Romance? Check. Cuteness/adorability (Moe factor)? Gazillions of check marks!
After learning about the existence of a stony cat that grants wishes, Youto Yokodera decides to give it a try in order to bring out his true self and show his perverted nature to the world. After always being considered pure and innocent, he's had enough of not being able to truly represent and express his true self. However, he'll soon be faced with unpredictable complications in his new life, as well as the new ties he has made with a fellow wisher.
6. Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata (Saekano)
This is one of the newest anime series in the HRM genre. Even though it's just a few episodes in so far, I'm already struck by the brilliance of this show. So much that I've included it on this list—and at number six nonetheless!
Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata shimmers with respect to its plot and comical nature. Yes, it's a standard HRM show, but that's what actually makes it interesting. I was hooked from the first episode and still am. Every episode so far has been excellent. For a fresh HRM anime show, I must say this has gigantic potential!
The biggest otaku of the school, Aki Tomoyo, stumbles upon a rare moment with what seemed to be his perfect girl. His heart suddenly flutters, causing him to want to create a game based on that special moment (even though he doesn't know who the girl is). Dead serious about his new project at this point, he enlists two of the most popular students of his school, Eriri Spencer Sawamura and Utaha Kasumigaoka, to help him. Later on that day, he crosses paths again with this seemingly perfect girl. Only this time, to his surprise, she's not actually who he thought she was.
5. Nisekoi
Nisekoi is HRM done right. Yes, done right! It has all the essentials and it even thrives while using all the usual clichés you'll see from the genre. This is because it manages to carry itself in a way that's incredibly effective, so much so that you stop seeing it as just another HRM series. Proper execution and making the most out of the classic tropes are key here, and Nisekoi has succeeded in both.
When he was a child, Raku Ichijou made a promise to a certain girl that when they finally reunited someday, they would marry. Up to this day, he holds on to the pendant that the girl gave to him. Years later, when in high school, he has a crush on a girl named Kosaki Onodera. Due to his family being the yakuza group known as the Shuei-gumi and the fact that he's the only heir, he is forced to go along with a made-up relationship with a girl named Chitoge Kirisaki, who's the heir of another group called the Bee Hive Gangsters. Now he has to deal with juggling the made-up relationship and his true feelings towards Kosaki at school.
4. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Haganai)
What makes Boku Tomodachi ga Sukunai stand out the most is the fact that it's using an interesting premise alongside familiar settings—school and clubs. Also, it delivers so many jokes that it'll make you laugh out loud every moment you watch it. Believe it or not, the guy-surrounded-by-girls theme works great with this one. All the awkward moments are hilarious. Combine that hilarity with its perfect blend of themes and we have an instant classic.
Kodaka Hasegawa has always been treated as a delinquent because of the color of his hair. In high school, he meets a girl who seems to be talking to nobody, while claiming that it was her friend. He realizes that she also has no friends, which prompted them both to establish a Neighbor Club with the mission of making new friends. As the club jumpstarts, a few other awkward people tag along, joining in on the club activities of what they think friends should be doing together.
3. The World God Only Knows
If the girls in The World God Only Knows remember everything they've gone through, Keima would have the biggest harem ever! However, that's not the case. This anime is about Keima, the number of girls he's conquered (making this a true HRM anime), and how they forget everything after he conquers them.
If it's anything that concerns games (especially dating games), nothing can't be conquered by Katsuragi Keima. That's all he's prided himself on his whole life—playing games. Then, one day, a demon girl by the name of Elucia seeks him out in order to get him to help her capture escaped souls that now reside in the void of girls' hearts. So, much like he does with his dating games, Keima only has to make the girls fall in love with him in order to manifest the souls and capture them in the process—all in real life!
2. Date A Live
Is this a love quadrangle I smell here? Or is it even more than that? There's only one thing left for Shido left to do—capture the hearts of those female spirits and get them to love him through sweet talk and charm. Date A Live actually stays true to its name—it's a date and everyone lives happily because of it. But, the only one left with all the troubles is Shido himself. Then again, he's enjoying it so it's okay.
In a world frequented by space quakes (destructive earthquakes caused by spirits), humanity has suffered countless casualties under the whims of these misunderstood spirits. One day, a plan devised by the anti-spirit organization Ratatosk sets into motion. High school boy Itsuka Shido becomes part of the plan as his sister, Itsuka Kotori, is actually the head of Ratatosk. Now, since brute force isn't effective, Ratatosk asks Shido to befriend the spirits and win their hearts over with peaceful resolutions.
1. To Love-Ru
Choosing which series to hand the number one spot to was a no-brainer. After all, when one mentions HRM anime, the first thing that comes to mind (for me and for many) is To Love-Ru! Rito Yuuki is the king of HRM. He's got a lot of girls around him—even alien ones! Most of the time, it leads to very awkward scenarios which sometimes even escalate further to something unexpected. That's its own flavor of comedy, and I must say—it's super effective! To Love-Ru easily knocks all of the competitors out of the park to stand out as the anime befitting of the HRM crown of glory!
Rito Yuuki is struggling with his love life. He can't seem to muster up the courage to confess to the girl he likes at school. Then, one day, everything took a much more complicated turn. While bathing, a girl named Lala suddenly manifested in the same bathtub he was in and claimed that she was an alien from the planet of Deviluke. To make matters worse, she's being chased by mysterious people from her planet. Rito jumps in to protect her not knowing that what he's doing shall soon cause a big misunderstanding later on.
Harem Girl Archetypes
The girls in a harem anime typically fit an established character mold. Here are some common character types that often appear.
- Tsundere: These characters usually put on a tough exterior to hide their attraction to the main character. Their bickering often brings them together, Chitoge from Nisekoi is a good example of a tsundere.
- Kuudere: These characters are more colder and have little to no emotions. However, they can have caring personalities.
- The Childhood Friend: This character is typically the girl-next-door type. They are often very kind and have known the main character the longest. They may have some frustration over not being noticed by the protagonist.
- The Yamato Nadeshiko: This character often has traits that are related to the traditional ideals of Japanese femininity. They are well-mannered and have a strong elegance about them.
- The Ojou: This character is often rich and haughty. They are kind of a contrast to the Yamato Nadeshiko in that they often carry more European ideals of beauty.

I swear those guys are hypocrites.
nekko on May 09, 2020:
dxd is a really good show has some great parts wink wink
U on May 06, 2020:
I think high school dxd should be number one
Maxalexter O'neil on April 21, 2020:
Actually it is on the list but not as harem romcom but ecchi harem romcom. If you read properly. The admin has put as the list of example ecchi
TheWillOfABeast on March 13, 2020:
I can understand why DxD isn't in here. I don't like watching Harem Animes where the main protagonist acts like a shithead, and still gets what he wants. Issei, in this case, is the reason I don't watch that show. All he does is talk about breasts, wants to touch them. It's seriously irritating to witness, especially with that stupid perverted face. What kind of girl would want a boy like him. Sure he does SOME heroic things in the show but, he has nearly no character development in terms of being a pervert. After one of his battles he says "I'm glad I could protect President's Breasts". He's literally acting like he cares more about her breasts then herself in general, and when he stops the wedding he says "Rias's virginity belongs to me."...He's not fooling me with that pathetic nice guy act, he should go for the goal to go home. Todd Haberkorn said it WatchMojo's Top 10 Worst Anime Boyfriends which Issei was in, and I agree 100% with his statement. Then there's the protagonists with there goals:
Goku: To become stronger to protect his loved ones.
Ichigo: To protect those, to not suffer the way he did.
Naruto: To become the Hokage to get acknowledged by those who wronged him.
Luffy: To become King of the Pirates
I respect these goals but, I'm not supporting Issei's ignorant goal. Kiba is more worthy of having a Harem. Even character from other animes deserve Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, and the others. Goku, Naruto, Natsu, Ichigo, heck or even Luffy. Sure, Goku, and Luffy may not know what a Harem is but, that doesn't mean that they don't deserve one. I'd rather take Innocence, and lack of intelligence over, stupid, perverted douchebag-ery anyday.

AzwarTrap on December 01, 2018:
Highschool dxd where is is it should be number 1 or 2 i mean to love ru is good but not as good high school dxd
Kinkykitten on November 21, 2018:
Nagasarete Airantou cannot even come close in comparison to Love Hina. Love Hina set basic tropes and popuralized a harem concept all while being mainstream for it's time. Love Hina definitely deserves a spot.
fondofwisdom on November 18, 2018:
all these comments make me sad, you all forget that when it comes to harem classics are king, tenchi isnt even on this list and that is sickening
Jeff on November 08, 2018:
High School Dxd is not on this list?!!! NANDATO?!!!
UltraKiller79 on October 31, 2018:
Where TF is Highschool dxd my dude. i mean to-love ru and trinity seven r gud but where is dxd. and why is Trinity Seven number it should be number 1 or 2
Anime Lover on October 29, 2018:
YOU should really put High school dxd on the list.Highschool dxd is my 2nd favoriate anime.You should even put tenchi on the list and even shuffle.Shuffle is my favoriate harem anime.
Over viewer on September 23, 2018:
Dude if I even tried to count how many comments say high school dxd in them it would take me like 10 minutes. High school dxd really does deserve a top spot on this list.
What If... on September 20, 2018:
Anime where main character wakes up with girls sleeping with him???
noone on September 20, 2018:
its sad that its so freaking hard 2 find the to love ru series i still somehow haVE SEEN the first and motto but cant find the others :(
anon on September 20, 2018:
Hello on July 30, 2018:
What about one of them is my younger sister?
Harem_Man on June 24, 2018:
Your list is good but I think the Trinity Seven is really popular so I think it deserves at least top 5 and you should mention about the high school dxd because it is really popular among the fan.
URAHARA KISUKE on June 19, 2018:
Man, Zero No Tsukaima, Sekirei, Demon King Daimao, Strike the Blood are way better than most of those on your list.
gia on June 11, 2018:
Isn't The familiar of zero one if this harem anime ?
Arnav on June 09, 2018:
Your article almost correct I am not questioning on this but I think that some anime is much better in story, harem, romance and ecchi like sword art online, sekirei, high school dxd, strike the blood, another world with smartphone, Zero no Tsukaima, cupid's chocolate, campione and so on these are my favorite anime I think some them I am forgeting but ya if some of them are in the list not all I mentioned but if one or two anime that i recomanded so i think it would a good article. You can make top 15 or 20 list article because above anime all good but there rank must be rearrange.
(Arigatou Gozaimasu)

Wet Belt Sander – Gryphon
Home › Forums › Glass Fusing › General Fusing Discussion › Tile saws › Wet Belt Sander – Gryphon
I was given a Gryphon wet belt sander for Xmas. Its a very poor piece of equipment! The thing will never be right because the central pillar that everything is attached to is not a square extrusion. Its meant to be but their quality control is either none existent or they accept inferior extrusions. Perhaps they are menat to machine it square but they have not in my case. Obviously there is therefore no way it will ever run smooth or have anything square without major alterations. However it will always run with more vibration than necessary. After using a 'proper' one on a recent cold working course its very disappointing. So back to the window glass & the grit!


text: I don't see color, was something I often heard. But, if you don't see color, you don't see the student you are educating. It's okay to see color. I felt that the teachers were afraid to verbalize race and to see "color" within their culturally diverse student. Afraid to say what they really see in our black and brown students, but they know the right words to say to me. This provided a disservice to our babies. But I knew that I had to make this right!

KPMG in India has rejigged its senior leadership team in order to bring key strategic changes in the company in sync with its long-term, aggressive growth plans.
The company has announced three senior level appointments including Ambarish Dasgupta as the head of management consulting, Vikram Hosangady as head of private equity and Shalini Pillay as head, human resources.
Dasgupta has around 25 years of experience in business consulting, IT consulting and implementation & outsourcing, and he has been managing large strategy, process, people and IT-enabled re-engineering and business transformation projects till date. Prior to joining KPMG, he had been the consulting leader at PwC India for 15 years and was also a member of its India leadership team.
Commenting on the development, Richard Rekhy, CEO of KPMG India said, "I am delighted to welcome Ambarish into this new role. Given our increased focus on the consulting business, I am confident that Ambarish's able and proven leadership will help steer the management consulting practice to achieve its true potential."
Vikram Hosangady, who has been appointed as the head of private equity advisory practice at KMPG India, will succeed Vikram Utamsingh. Hosangady will also continue to head the transaction services practice where he has worked on more than 150 transactions – both in India and abroad.
VCCircle was the first to report that Utamsingh, KPMG's head of transactions and restructuring, had left the company. Utamsingh also led KPMG India's private equity industry group, which counts Blackstone, Advent, Warburg Pincus and Bain Capital among its clients.
Earlier this week, Russell Parera, former CEO of KPMG India, joined Price Waterhouse, one of the PW India network firms.
Given the strategic importance of people in the business, the company has also taken a fresh look at managing human resource from a strategic perspective and hence roped in an experienced business line partner to oversee the matters of people, performance and culture.
In her new role, Shalini Pillay (she has been with the firm for more than nine years now) will be instrumental in charting the road map for KPMG's people agenda in India. She will manage all aspects of the HR function, encompassing manpower planning, organisation design & development, talent management, learning & development, performance management, rewards & recognition and employee relations.

Disadvantages of Poor Spare Management
• Expert Advice: Change your organization's thinking from "Spare Parts" when something goes awry, to "Machine-Critical Components" that must be planned for and held in stock to ensure uninterrupted productivity. To minimise downtime, it is important to get the right balance between holding too much idle inventory and not enough.
• Cost:The pharmaceutical industry is amongst the top five industries most impacted by equipment downtime in terms of revenue with loses averaging €2 million per hour
• Time-consuming: A study of pharmaceutical manufacturing by Don Fitchett stated that the primary cause of downtime for 60% of respondents was due to equipment failure and on average a pharmaceutical plant sees 225 hours of stoppage per year.
• Reputation: According to the ARC Advisory Group, on average, when a pharmaceutical batch is interrupted, resulting in the need for it to be scrapped, it costs the company an average of $500,000 per batch which affects the end customer and can ultimately damage the brand reputation.

Premiers meet on Doug Ford's turf to push Ottawa for more money
Amid strains in Canada's federation, premiers look to craft list of shared priorities
The leaders of Canada's provinces and territories are in Ontario Premier Doug Ford's backyard today, looking to craft a policy agenda they hope will be palatable to the minority Liberal government in Ottawa.
While many of the premiers have met one-on-one with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since the Oct. 21 election, the Toronto-area meeting is the first time all the premiers are meeting as a group since voters returned Trudeau to Ottawa with a second mandate.
On the way into the meeting Monday, all premiers who spoke to the media said they will be looking for more money from Ottawa to shore up provincial budgets, some of which have been hit by sinking oil prices and soaring health-care costs.
Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister said health care will be the most pressing agenda item at this meeting. He said the federal government is pushing a national prescription drug plan at a time when the country's existing health care system is already stretched.
"Our patients are waiting longer and longer for surgeries, emergency rooms, for hips and knees, you name it. This is an issue we need to focus on. Pharmacare — we can get to that later. Let's get the sustainable funding for health care," he told reporters on his way into the meeting Monday.
The Council of the Federation, which is composed largely of conservative-minded premiers, are meeting at Ford's suggestion in an airport hotel not far from his Etobicoke North riding.
Ford, who was wearing Winnipeg Blue Bombers jersey Monday after losing a bet to Pallister over the Grey Cup, is also keen to make health-care funding a priority at the one-day meeting.
The premiers have been pushing Ottawa to lift the current health care spending growth cap — currently set at three per cent each year — to help provinces tackle their single biggest budget line item.
Ford said the Canada Health Transfer — the money the federal government sends to the provinces and territories to help them pay for health care — should grow by 5.2 per cent a year to better address mounting costs in the sector as the country's population ages.
The Liberal campaign platform pledged $6 billion over four years in new health spending, with funding earmarked for boosting the number of doctors, a move toward a pharmacare program and improvements to mental-health services.
Pallister said Monday there should be fewer strings attached to the funding Ottawa sends to the provinces, adding the policy area falls under provincial jurisdiction.
Ford: 'We'll get over these bumps'
Ford, a Progressive Conservative, has tried to present Ontario as unifier at a time when national unity seems to be threatened by fractious relations between Ottawa and the resource-rich provinces in the West. It's a role the province has played in the past during the constitutional squabbles of the 1980s and 1990s.
"With a group of premiers — all 13 are showing up — we're going to have disagreements, but I think that's healthy, to be very frank," Ford said.
"We have to listen to the people out West and listen to their concerns. A lot of people are struggling out West. I mentioned that to the prime minister as well, and he agrees. He wants to support everyone right across this country and I'm going to support the prime minister by making sure we get as much support as possible."
"We want to send the message around the world that we're a united Canada. We're stronger together and we'll get over these bumps," Ford said, referring to disagreements between Western Canada and Ottawa.
After the Liberal government introduced a series of measures perceived as an affront to the country's natural resources sector, voters this October turfed all Liberal MPs between Manitoba and B.C.
Since the election, Trudeau has restructured his cabinet, redeploying his top lieutenant, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, from the foreign affairs file to intergovernmental affairs as he looks to tamp down growing unease in Western Canada. Freeland, a native of Peace River, Alta., has assumed the national unity file.
Speaking to reporters Sunday ahead of Monday's meeting, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said he hopes the 13 provincial and territorial leaders can reach a consensus on joint priorities they can ask the federal Liberals to act on now — such as a tweak to the fiscal framework and directing more money to the provinces for health care.
The premiers will craft a list of priorities they can present to Trudeau when they all gather for a formal first ministers' meeting, which is expected in January.
"My No. 1 priority is to come to a consensus on a number of issues on behalf of all Canadians, as well as on behalf of providing that guidance from coast to coast to coast to what we have now — a minority federal administration," Moe said.
Moe, the current chair of the Council of the Federation, has had a poor relationship with the federal Liberals. He left a recent meeting with Trudeau expressing frustration, saying he only heard "more of the same" from the prime minister. Moe has urged a radical rethink of Bill C-69, the controversial Environmental Assessment Act that opponents say will make it difficult to build new natural resources projects. Ottawa has so far rebuffed calls for the repeal of, or major amendments to, the legislation.
Moe and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney also have urged Ottawa to revisit the current equalization formula, something they have said is unfair.
While a major reworking of the formula seems unlikely, the two western premiers have said they will push for changes to the fiscal stabilization program and they hope to bring the other premiers onside.
Change fiscal stabilization
Kenney — who recently introduced an austerity budget in an effort to get the province back on a more sound fiscal footing amid a prolonged oil price slump — has said Ottawa should retroactively change the formula to ensure his province can tap more money.
The program, which is administered by Finance Minister Bill Morneau, provides financial assistance to any province faced with a year-over-year decline in its non-resource revenues greater than five per cent.
The problem for Kenney is that his province already has been floated the maximum amount the program allows for each year — $60 per person or, in the case of Alberta, $250 million a year — a sum he said is inadequate given the size of the budget hole the province is facing.
In 2015–16, for example, the province's revenues contracted by a staggering $8.8 billion, and yet this insurance-like program paid out just $248 million.
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball, a Liberal, has said a change to equalization is the "wrong target" but he'd be open to tweaking the stabilization program.
"We need to be able to have a fund that's not tied to equalization, but that can respond within the next year. If Alberta is doing well, Newfoundland and Labrador will do well, Saskatchewan will do well, and so, therefore, all of Canada will benefit," he said.
'Include a deductible'
Academics, including the University of Calgary's Bev Dahlby, have suggested that Alberta focus its energies on securing a new deal from Ottawa on this program, arguing that pursuing a change to the equalization formula (a non-starter for provinces like Quebec and those in Atlantic Canada, which rely on the program as it is currently constituted) is a waste of political capital.
"A fair formula for a fiscal stabilization program should meet the same criteria as any good insurance policy. It should cover only significant losses ... It should include a deductible to ensure that the insured party, the province in this case, still has an incentive to manage their fiscal affairs responsibly. And it should offer simple and transparent terms along with a streamlined claims process," Dahlby wrote in a June 2019 paper on the topic.
"Improving the formula will not save Alberta and other resource-rich provinces from all the pain of the occasional resource bust, but it will help alleviate some of it," he said.
Ford, Moe and New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs also signed a memorandum Sunday that will commit the three provinces to studying nuclear reactor technology — the deployment of small, modular reactors. The leaders said it would help their provinces lower greenhouse gas emissions as Canada shifts from coal-fired power plants to less carbon-intensive sources of energy.

One size that does not fit all
To: The Solihull Times and Sutton Coldfield News
The Euro, an EU superstate project, is shaky because currency sharing is difficult for states with differing finances, standards of living, economic cycles and productivity.
"Convergence" by cash transfers ("structural funds") and restricting government budgets ("stability pact") failed. Germany complied but Italian debt is 106% of GDP (stability pact max 60%!). Greece and Spain have trade deficits of 13% and 10% of GDP reflecting cheap easy borrowings to import goods. Now Italians borrow cheaply because their debt is in euros! The glue is coming unstuck.
So Italians pay 0.5% higher for debts than Germans who stop lending to Spanish. Banks stop lending to banks, questioning their assets. Politicians give taxpayers money to shore up private debts, compromising commercial banks by this cheap lending. The taxpayer bears the risk, but worse, on the continent the eurozone currency spreads this burden e.g. ECB (European Central Bank) takes on Spanish euro mortgage debt while their construction industry flops!
"A euro light sculpture at
European Central Bank in Frankfurt."
South euro flagging economies want the ECB to reduce interest rates to allow higher euro inflation to write down their debts. Germans want the opposite showing concern that current euro inflation of over 3% is above its 2% target.
German backed ECB inflation controls may cause certain countries to leave the euro to re-establish their own currencies, allowing their traditional devaluation and inflation to solve their debts as before.
As UKIP says "One-size does not fit all." If you think this 'heavy' try the EU controls on the UK economy!

While there are more than hundreds of techniques mention on the internet on how to lose weight, it becomes difficult for an average person to make choices in their diet life. Hence we are here to help you pick the most effective plans to lose weight that is practically proven with the majority of research and diet conscious people reviews.
There are many factors that affect weight loss depending on your age, height, weight, diet, genes and physical activities. You cannot control any of these factors but you can control the food you eat therefore sticking to any one of the diet plan options mentioned in this article with commitment each day will give you results within the first week.
Meal Plans for the Keto Diet
Keto diet became a popular trend from the start of 2018 that later proved to have various health benefits and a decrease in weight. A research study showed that a keto diet can help fight against diabetes, cancer and even Alzheimer's diseases. This diet is 3times more effective than any other diet plan due to which it is also difficult to maintain but the results are proven visible within the first week.
The ketogenic diet involves eating low-carb food and increasing high-fat and protein foods. The reduction of carbs will put your body into ketosis mode. Under ketosis mode, while your body has low-crabs, it will burn instead use your excess body fats for energy which results in body weight loss.
The low-carb food to avoid or reduce includes sugary foods that are available everywhere easily such as biscuits, chips, ice-cream and chocolates. Wheat-based products such as rice, pasta and cereal contain a medium amount of sugar. Root vegetables consist of a high amount of carbs in potatoes and carrots. Drinks such as soda, fruit juice, smoothies and alcohol should be eliminated in your keto diet.
For starters try keeping a track of your carb intake by under the limit of 50grams per day then gradually decrease by time. A glass of juice contains 52 carbs, doughnut 50carbs, candies and chocolates up to 60carbs. Therefore keep in mind that the fewer the carbs the more effective the results will appear in less time as your body tries to burn your excess fat without any unhealthy carbs present in the system.
The foods you should eat more are fats and proteins such as any meat, fatty fish like salmon and tuna, eggs, butter, cheese, nuts, olive and coconut oil, avocadoes and low carb veggies like tomatoes, onions and green veggies.
A lot of delicious keto-diet recipes are also available online that you can begin in your diet adventure plan. Instead of having to order food you can try making healthy homemade keto recipes, this includes keto bread, keto cheese frittata, keto fried chicken and keto pizza that all direct in designing a low-carb meal while satisfying your inner cravings.
Keto diet includes several of benefits proven by the expert that it lowers blood pressure, decrease acne, fewer cramps and gas in the stomach. A high sugar intake affects the cognitive function of the brain that blocks the memory receptors while being on keto diet due to its less sugar consumption rule, in the first of week of ketosis you can feel your mental performance improving and being able to focus more due to the steady flow of ketones to the brain.
Vegan Diet Meal Plan
A vegan diet is considered a lifestyle concerning the importance of animal lives but recent studies reveal that it can help in weight loss due to its natural healthy option foods. A medical study published in 2016 verified that those who follow a strict vegan diet under 18weeks demonstrate almost 4pound of weight loss in the participants who took the test. In addition, various fitness experts opt for vegan diet in their lifestyle.
This diet includes not eating any animals (meat, chicken, fish) or their by-products (eggs, milk, cheese, honey) instead of having food such as fruits, vegetables, beans, plant-based milk and non-dairy products. Green food items is a priority in a vegan diet such as spinach, broccoli, Brussel sprout and zucchini are the most nutrient-dense vegetables with high fibre content.
Since the elements of protein from an animal are cut off from the vegan diet, the alternative includes plants that contain protein such as tempeh, beans, lentils and oats. Proteins are an important nutrient for the building up muscles, skin and bones of the body. It also reduces the hunger hormone and makes you fill full throughout the day which can help you to lose weight easily
This diet also cuts out some primary nutrients that are needed for the body, these deficiencies can be replaced by taking in other essential nutrients, for instance, vitamin B-12 and multivitamin tablets while on a vegan diet plan. The key includes focusing on eating more rich mineral food during your snack time such as whole grains, nuts and seeds.
Avoid process foods in your diet that includes ingredients such as fats, sugars, starches and food additives. Before you consider buying any processed food from the local store, look out for the food labels mentioned in the back of the package that is printed in all food products.
Lastly having a meal planning dairy is the best way to stick on a vegan diet, have a notebook written down all the meals you will plan during the week to keep you motivated in your diet. Almost all vegan meals can be easily made under 10-15mins without putting in too much effort.
Intermittent Fasting Plan
If you cannot control your food intake and cannot eliminate specific food from your diet then this technique will be best for you. Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that does not involve cutting out foods but at the time when you should eat them during your 24hours day.
Studies found that in people who started inducing intermittent fasting in their lifestyle resulted in a reduction in body weight by 3-8% in over 3-24weeks with around 0.25kg per week lost and with alternative fasting it resulted in more weight loss with 0.75kg per week.
Fasting Is an old technique proven not only on weight loss but various benefits such as it speeds up metabolism in the body, improves hunger pattern, boost up immunity and brain functions, lower cholesterol and high blood pressure, and overall promotes clean and healthy gut system.
Fasting is also engrossed into many religions for centuries such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism as a spiritual act to maintaining a healthy body and mind. As a result, humans can survive without food with a period of time and even days without any serious health effects.
There is various way to schedule your fast, the best method is the 16/8 plan, it includes eating for 8hours period and the rest 16hours on fasting mode. Even thou 16hours may seem too long at the start of the plan, it will gradually adjust in your body with days after which you will not make you feel hungry.
This works by having your last meal by 7-8 pm and then not fasting for the next 16hours, after the next 8hours you can eat whatever you want then repeat the cycle again. During the 16-hour fast, you can have drinks of water, coffee, natural homemade soups or even juices to keep you hydrated during your day. Due to the difference in body composition in the opposite gender, females can take 14-15 fast hour instead of 16hours.
It is recommended that during the 8hour period you primary eat healthy foods such as fruit and vegetables. Eating especially high fibre foods such as nuts, beans and fish will keep you less hungry during the 16hours period. This can also boost your productivity and immune system.
If the 16/8 rule does not suit you then going for 12/12 rule is alternative for beginners who are new to fasting. This method can stop you from having snack breaks at night and keep your mind preoccupied with work in the morning. It also requires less effort compared to the 16/8 rule
Since 12/12 method has a longer eating time, it will not be as effective as the 16/8 rule. For beginners, it is recommended to start with the 12/12 rule in the first 3-4days then opt for the 16/8 in the next days. This will prepare your body to easily fast longer with time and lower your food cravings.
An effective weight loss does not only include a diet plan but also to add physical exercise during your day for at least one hour or 30mins. Exercise can include a simple jog and walk around your neighbourhood or body exertion techniques at home. All of this can boost up your weight loss in a short amount of time and make you feel healthy throughout your life.

is It Really Possible to Have It All?
There is no doubt in my mind — if you want the best chance of achieving a specific goal in your life, what you need to do is make that goal the sole purpose of your living.
By making everything else secondary and focusing almost exclusively on your top goal, you give yourself a 99.9% chance of achieving it.
This is the program for fanatics — people who don't want to miss.
I discussed it with you in Message #413 ("How to Absolutely, Positively Achieve the Most Important of Your Four Life Goals" www.earlytorise.com/weekly/010402.htm). And I've given you plenty of ideas about how to make sure this priority gets your full attention:
1. Figure out how much time you need to be sure of success (usually, this ranges from 500 hours to 5,000 hours).
2. Schedule that time into your yearly planning schedules.
3. Devote the majority of your working hours to the accomplishment of your goal.
4. Devote all your early morning hours to it.
If your goal is to become a virtuoso pianist, this is the surest way to accomplish that goal. If mastering the art of copywriting is your top priority, you'll raise your chances to 90% plus by taking the fanatic's path.
Far be it for me to deter you from taking the single-minded path to success. It was the chosen way for many of the world's greatest men and women — think Mozart or Freud or Einstein.
But before you make the ultimate commitment, remember that there is a price to pay for single-minded fanaticism: the narrowing effect it has on your life.
If you make your top goal wealth building, for example, and you pursue it fanatically, you will probably one day find yourself beset with one or more of the following problems:
* a less-than-perfect marriage
* a less-than-serene temperament
* a number of people who don't like you
* a body that has been neglected
* children who need more of your attention
Just to name a few.
So why am I bringing this up? Why am I raining on your parade?
It's not to discourage you, but to give you a nudge in the right direction. You see, I believe it is possible to "have it all" — to have wealth and health and happiness.
I believe it is possible to have a net worth of many millions of dollars; a youthful, pain-free, and athletic body; and a rich and stimulating intellectual life. All that plus good friends and a loving family.
I know it's possible because I know people who have those things.
That doesn't contradict what I said earlier about fanatics. Fanatic wealth builders do not usually — at least in my experience — have it all.
So, yes ? you can become wealthy and healthy and wise too. The only sacrifice you'll have to make is limiting your wealth-building goals.
Let me explain.
First, you need to have at least three — and preferably four — main goals. I've talked about this before. (See Message #102, "How to Accomplish All Your Most Important Goals." www.earlytorise.com/weekly/060600.htm) Have one wealth-building goal, one health goal, one intellectual goal, and (even though Ben Franklin didn't include it in his early-to-rise maxim) one social goal.
Second, limit those four goals.
Instead of setting your financial goal at "disgustingly rich," consider "having enough money to live luxuriously without working."
Instead of setting your health goal at "the body of an Olympic athlete," settle for "healthy, flexible, and strong."
Instead of setting your social goal at "making Mother Theresa look stingy and mean," be happy with "helping in some small way everyone I touch."
And instead of setting your personal goal at "writing the great American novel," be content with "writing a novel that tells my best story."
Be somewhat specific about these four goals — more specific than I have been above. For your wealth-building goal, for example, consider setting an actual number (preferably a personal-net-worth number). This kind of specificity will do two things for you: (1) It will make the goal easier to break down into smaller objectives and therefore easier, ultimately, to accomplish; (2) It will allow you to mentally prepare yourself, ahead of time, to stop working on the goal after you've accomplished it. (This is no small problem. I'll be talking to you about it in an upcoming message.)
You are here on earth for a limited number of years. In each day, there are just so many hours. In every hour, just so many heartbeats. By balancing and limiting your main goals now, you will give yourself a much better chance of having it all — and it will come to you much sooner than you probably would guess.
Note: Something interesting (and wonderful) about limiting and/or reducing your goals to what is "enough" for you: Almost the moment you do so, you feel better about them and about yourself.

No Installation Guide Exists
QUESTIONS & ANSWERSAsk a Question
I have a locker on the rear on a defender 1000 xt, if I get this does it mean that it will not be a true locker anymore,? This is what I'm understanding by the description.
Hey Adam, Your unit comes factory with what they call turf mode. With selectable lock or unlock. This is a final drive ring gear with planitary spider gears to allow the rear tires to operate at diffrent speeds when turning in unlocked mode. Turf Mode is the name as this keeps you from tearing up grass when turning as if it were in locked position the wheels are traveling a different radius and the same speed when locked. This system is problamatic due to the fact the spider gears toat the load of the axel bind diffeence when turning or one tire has more load or traction. The spider gears can break. So this kit is a solid ring gear and elimnates the unlockable option and the reliability issue of the turf mode.
Do you have a link for installation instructions I would like to see how difficult this is to install before I buy it.
We do not, This would consist of removing the transmission. This would require a clutch puller and normal hand held or power tools. Remove the transmission, split the cases the large rear ring gear is removed simply by pulling it out drop the new gear in and bolt the transmission cases back together and reinstall the transmission. The ECU will need to be sent in to reflash and turn off turf mode.
How can I tell if my 2019 can am xmr Defender has turf mode? Dose my 2019 can am xmr Defender need a turf mode delete?
There will be a switch on the dash to lock the transmisison. Yes sir we offer turf mode delete kits, the ecu also has to be reflash to turn turf mode off in the ECU.
Email us year, make, modle , trim.
Stock bearings used?
Hello, you will continue to use to same bearings. You will only need to replace the oil seals along with the gear.

Vasu Mittal
Fitness is not all about those beefed up muscles. It is a way of life that needs dedication and perseverance. Vasu Mittal, hailing from New Delhi, wanted to redefine the fitness industry in India when he started off five years ago in 2014. He had the vision to change the lives of people.
Today, Vasu has evolved to become a reliable name in the fitness industry. He is one of the leading transformation specialists with an extensive clientele across the globe. Moreover, he dipped his feet into entrepreneurship with VM Nutrition, a company that sells supplements.
What it took for him to reach the zenith of success? Vasu unravels his extraordinary story.
My Inspiration
I believe inspiration is all around us and it comes in many different forms, you just have to keep your eyes and heart open. I usually get inspiration from my own potential, sometimes from a conversation with dad, being outside and moving my body gets my creative juices flowing as well.
So, there isn't one source or one person that inspires me. To me, inspiration is a creative concept and often happens instantaneously.
Tip to the beginners in my industry
This generation wants instant manifestation of everything. However, success doesn't come cheap. I have climbed a lot, the road was rocky, the thorns hurt me but I never gave up… Fail and get up. Fail and get up.
If you really want to be a fitness model or an entrepreneur then you gotta go all in. You have to work 24×7 with a vision. A lot of people ask me, they have a great physique yet they can't grab attention of the masses.
See, you not only have to work on your physique but on your personality and on your brain as well. You gotta have that charisma and so many people are missing that. And working towards all of this, you have to be real. I have been preaching this for years — BE YOURSELF.
Biggest influence on my life
Arnold Schwarzenegger & Rich Piana have made the biggest influence on my life. I have learnt one thing from both of them and that's — "we all have the capability to be great. Just do your work, take care of your mind/body, and make the best of this time."
As long as it's about reading, my favorite book is "Rich dad, Poor dad" written by Robert Kiyosaki. It is a great perspective changer. I recommend this book to everyone who's starting out.
What am I grateful for?
I'm grateful for everything that I have today. I can't forget how I pushed myself when it was dark, windy, and raining. I started from bottom so I know the value of each and everything that I possess today.
Never in my entire life I have taken anything for granted. I'm 23… I have health, a great support system, intellectual abilities, a huge social family. What more can I ask for? Forever grateful and thankful for this life I live.
How do I unwind?
My one true happy place is at the gym. It is seriously so addicting and stress relieving. The place where I can block off all the day to day stresses, a place where I can be for hours and connect within.
No worries in the world. Just me, my music & weights. Literally brings up my enthusiasm for life.

2 women die after rock falls off semi-truck, crashes through windshield, OHP says
Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials are investigating after a rock fell off a semi-truck and crashed through an oncoming vehicle's windshield, killing two women and injuring another on Highway 77 in Garvin County.
A survivor of the crash told KOCO 5 that she lost her elderly mother and aunt.
The crash was reported on Highway 77 and Kimberlin Road in Garvin County, as a semi was making its way down the road.
"A large boulder piece of rock comes out in the back of the semi," said Trooper Shayne Ballard. "Fairly large rock, like 40-50 pounds."
That rock hit a passing car, and the outcome changed the lives of three women forever.
"What we believe so far is that it bounced off the road and into a car," Ballard said.
One lived. The other two did not. The two deceased were 83 and 89 years old.
Authorities said the semi driver never stopped, and at the time, he/she may not have known what happened and was possibly unaware of the rock in the back.
"We think we possibly have the truck identified," Ballard said.
Authorities said they believe the truck was back to work Wednesday morning.
"We are pretty positive that we've located the truck that was driving the same route this morning.
Going back and forth from a construction site," Ballard said.
Officials with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol are looking at surveillance video to help their investigation.
They may be able to give us an ID of the driver or company involved this week and any possible or likely charges the driver could face.

A systems approach to leadership development in the Dubai Police : using soft systems methodology (SSM)
Alzaffin, Mohammad
February 2015

- Abstract
The Dubai Police, striving to meet the needs of one of the most rapidly developing communities in the world, found themselves struggling to satisfy the needs of an expanding and increasingly diverse population as well as dealing with the expectations within the force from high-qualified officers who had benefited from education in the most modern universities.
Seeking to improve the service to all stakeholders, HE the Commander-in-Chief introduced the concept of Total Quality Management. The introduction and continuing application of Total Quality Management was undertaken by an over-arching general department dedicated to Total Quality together with the introduction of experts into every general department. Unfortunately, the benefits were not as universal or as consistent as had been hoped. It was thought blocks to progress arose from the rigidity of the hierarchical and militaristic style of leadership prevalent in the force. A leadership style more inclusive of officers at all level was needed, one which was also alive to the expectations of external stakeholders, the residents, visitors and executives of business interests in Dubai.
The researcher was asked to study how leadership operated in the Dubai Police, how leaders viewed progress in Total Quality Management among their peers and subordinates and how subordinates assessed their immediate superiors' performance as leaders. To this end, 31 semi-structured interviews provided data for qualitative analysis and 475 respondents completed a questionnaire for quantitative analysis. The interviews revealed great respect for the military traditions of the Dubai Police, pride in progress made in Total Quality Management to date, an acknowledgement that this had been uneven and of the existence of pockets of resistance, results borne out of the responses to the questionnaire. Subjects were keen to improve the situation but had not embraced the latest management techniques available, tending to use reductionist methods to solve problems.
The researcher was requested to explore the benefits of holistic systems thinking to liberate consideration of problems and blocks to further progress in Total Quality Management. The Dubai Police were advised that systems thinking has advantages over older methods as it involves consideration of all aspects of a problem as a whole, including the interest of all stakeholders, leading to more satisfactory solutions of wider application. Among its advantages are the broader spectrum of investigation called for the greater involvement of subordinates so that a much more detailed (richer) picture can be obtained. The Dubai Police were therefore recommended to employ Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) as a means to achieving flexibility in leadership, deeper involvement of lower tiers of management in planning and quicker reaction to changing crime patterns. The Dubai Police should study western policing methods more deeply and invoke local universities in further research. The research indicated the Dubai Police needed to be more attuned to global development in policing attitudes and techniques.

Captain Virat Kohli on Monday asserted that India are ready to play day/night Test in Australia later this year, giving, in his trademark manner, a counter to Tim Paine's cheeky dig at him.
(Preview | Cricket News)
Kohli was asked about it on the eve of the three-match ODI series opener against Australia.
"We're ready and up for the challenge - whether it's Gabba, Perth... it doesn't matter to us. It's become a very exciting feature of any Test series and we're open to playing day-night Tests," Kohli said.
India played their maiden day/night Test against Bangladesh last November, winning the match quite comfortable with plenty of time to spare at the Eden Gardens.
"We played the day-night Test here, we were pretty happy with how it went. We have the skill-sets as a team now to compete against anyone in the world, anywhere, in any format of the game, whether it's white ball, red ball or pink ball, we're ready to play anything," Kohli asserted.
Last year, when asked about it, Paine had sarcastically remarked that his Australian team would need to ask Kohli if he was willing to play day/night Test Down Under.

For release at 9AM Pacific Time – September 29, 2009
On 10th Anniversary of IntelliCAD Source Going Public, Ronald Prepchuk Releases White Paper Instrumental to the Formation of the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium
Portland, Oregon — On September 29, 1999 the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium web site (www.intellicad.org) went live with source code for IntelliCAD 2000 available to anyone who wanted to become a member. Today Ronald Prepchuk released a white paper from early 1999 that was instrumental in the formation of the ITC and which has never before been publicly available.
"In October of 1998 I went to work for Visio Corporation to assist outside developers and OEMS in porting their applications to IntelliCAD 98", said Ronald Prepchuk. "Having worked with AutoCAD for 12 years as a developer and teacher I understood how it should function if it was going to be like AutoCAD. After a couple of months I was the number one reporter of bugs for IntelliCAD which should not have been considering I was not in the QA department. Although this caused some consternation among the QA staff it got me thinking about the problems and how they could be solved. I started talking with other staff members about their experiences, feelings, and what rumours they might be hearing. One thing I discovered was that it was the intention to roll IntelliCAD into Visio to make one product. Feeling that would be a disaster I set out in December of 1998 to write a white paper on fixing IntelliCAD. This was done on my own time and not part of my job at Visio as I did not want anyone at Visio to know I was working on it until it was completed. On April 15, 1999 I delivered it to Jeremy Jaech, President of Visio. It was distributed to the executives at Visio but outside of them only a few members of my department ever saw it. A couple of weeks prior to the public announcement in July of 1999 I was approached and told that Visio would be creating a new organization called the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium and that if I wanted a job there one would be available. I later became its first and only Executive Director. Ten years later it's worth taking a look at again to see where we've been and what is still relevant."
The paper titled simply "How to Fix IntelliCAD" can be found here: www.autodsys.com/ICADanalysis.pdf

Maverick Two ferry rescue cranes awarded Usabiaga
A large crane and two pontoons to rescue the Maverick sa Two Turret and tow in Denia.
Kepa Kruzeta engineer is likely to lead cranes Usabiaga rescue maneuver Maverick Two, which is 38 meters long, nine wide and weighs 110 tonnes empty. The crane to be used can be raised up to 600 tons, 120 at a distance of 23 meters.
Baleària presented yesterday morning at the offices of Maritime Eivissa's turnaround plan Maverick Two fast ferry that ran aground on 15 February by the night sa s'Illot turret, said yesterday the shipping company.
The final plan presented by the company, including the technical study of stability of the maneuver, includes the boat lift by crane lattice placed on top of a pontoon. Once built the ship will be positioned on a second pontoon, which will be towed to the port of Denia, where the shipping company is headquartered.
The crane, which has 600 tons of lifting capacity and can lift 120 tons of weight to 32 feet away, will be installed on one end of a pontoon of 35 by 25 meters provided with a counterweight of 130 tons, from detailed shipping.
Once the Maverick Two lifting and is near the pontoons, it will separate from the island on which is perched the fast ferries and a second pontoon will approximate to allow loading the ship on the same. This second pontoon has dimensions of 32 by 18 meters.
Study of the maneuver
The plan of refloating presented at Maritime has been prepared by the expert from the insurer of the ship, Protection and Indemnity (P & I) insurance, and stability study of the maneuver rescue him made by the company Cotenaval, company technical engineering also registered with the Association of Naval Engineers.
To implement the plan is expected to coordinate an official intervention Usabiaga Crane, a representative of P & I, one of Baleària and one of the Directorate General of Merchant Marine.
Meanwhile, the Ibiza sea captain duties, Luis Gascon, confirmed receiving the report of excess Baleària quarter to two o'clock. "Now we will review the legal and technical aspects of whether to request that we correct some point and then will rise to the Department of Environment Balearic to also review and give its approval," Gascón said.
To start the project is mandatory approval of the Environment of the Balearic Government, as the ship is within the Natural Park of Ses Salines Ibiza and Formentera.
"We have the advantage of having eyebolts"
"We have the advantage that is by the sea and having eyebolts [pieces to attach the ship to the crane], so that we avoid the complication of having to hook below the keel." Kepa Kruzeta engineer is likely to lead cranes Usabiaga rescue maneuver Maverick Two, which is 38 meters long, nine wide and weighs 110 tonnes empty. The crane to be used can be raised up to 600 tons, 120 at a distance of 23 meters.

Although a memory systems view of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) has been widely influential in understanding how memory processes are implemented, a large body of work across humans and animals has converged on the idea that the MTL can support various other decisions, beyond those involving memory. Specifically, recent work suggests that perception of and memory for visual representations may interact in order to support ongoing cognition. However, given considerations involving lesion profiles in neuropsychological investigations and the correlational nature of fMRI, the precise nature of representations supported by the MTL are not well understood in humans. In the present investigation, three patients with highly specific lesions to MTL were administered a task that taxed perceptual and mnemonic judgments with highly similar face stimuli. A striking double dissociation was observed such that I.R., a patient with a cyst localized to right posterior PRc, displayed a significant impairment in perceptual discriminations, whereas patient A.N., an individual with a lesion in right posterior parahippocampal cortex and the tail of the right hippocampus, and S.D., an individual with bilateral hippocampal damage, did not display impaired performance on the perceptual task. A.N. and S.D. did, however, show impairments in memory performance, whereas patient I.R. did not. These results causally implicate right PRc in successful perceptual oddity judgments, however they suggest that representations supported by PRc are not necessary for correct mnemonic judgments, even in situations of high featural overlap.
