Tackling real-world issues
The School of Arts and Creative industries is an ideal place to undertake MRes research. You will join a small, vibrant and diverse group of MRes students and will be supervised by academics of international standing. Our research students often work together organising conferences, assisting academics in editing academic journals and publications and leading research-related events and symposia.
Our applied research tackles real-world issues and encompasses a wide variety of methodologies and approaches, including practice-based research, empirical work on audiences and cultural institutions, as well as theory-driven analysis. We offer supervision in a variety of fields and we welcome diverse projects. 80% of our research was awarded 3* out of 4* for impact – 'very considerable impacts in terms of their reach and significance' – by the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014.

The conventional sales team and marketing department structure is being impacted by the advent of new technologies in unique ways, whether it is the size or the roles. Web marketing has created a new world order in the field of marketing. Social expertise, digital marketing, data analysis, new technology platforms and other aspects of marketing cannot be packaged in silos– they need to flow through marketing personnel in the organisation.
Boards know they must ensure marketing campaigns focus on the customer. Looking for new ways to bring this to the fore, the marketing department has created a new range of structures when it comes to the size of the average marketing team.
Web marketing has necessitated a new breed of Pathwwway Gambling marketing professionals, namely marketing technologists are being appointed to bridge the divide between IT and marketing. Driving digital innovation and change, the customer experience becomes paramount and the CMO/Chief Marketing Officer occupies this role. As companies incorporate new ways to engage customers, the CMO should have a broad range of skills and portfolio.
Marketing is being challenged by disruptive web based technologies. Social media now exerts a pervasive influence on customers. A new wave of data from social and digital channels influences marketing analytics over the customer and product life cycle. Customer experience is influenced by interaction with the marketing team. The marketing function is being woven through the business in new ways. A Harvard Business Review report found chief marketing officers are tearing up organisational charts. Marketing is not a discrete entity and extends throughout the firm. Tapping every function, the size of the marketing team is expanding as different roles emerge.
As companies make the transition to customer centric as opposed to product oriented focus, they need to simplify and break down silos to prevent a unitary view of products and services to the client. So marketing structure is changing and merging with products and sales, as web marketing expands. There must be deeper interaction between sales, product and customer service and marketing. B2B companies often see a union of sales plus marketing roles, while the B2C company combined marketing along with product/technology.
PR, branding, product marketing, field marketing and demand generation are all blurring and need to be combined under one single corporate identity. Demanding new skills from marketing professionals, marketing is now technology enabled and data intensive function needing new skills. Marketing has become aligned with business units in large firms. Each business unit or company product has its own marketing team, with core functions like social, brand and PR amalgamated.
Marketing is becoming a critical influencer in the organisation and plays a strategic role. The marketing professionals need to gather business intelligence, not just the production house. Being an influencer means embedding of marketing into business. The overwhelming trend in conventional matrix structure is a centralised marketing team which performs traditional ad and brand marketing functions with data or digital innovations and research, thereby servicing different business units.
Marketing teams are also changing in size on account of segment driven Pathwwway Gambling marketing. Companies are opting for targeted marketing and setting up teams for defined customer segments. Rather than marketing a product, it has become all about understanding the customer, thanks to web marketing. Everything from selling a product to marketing a service starts with the concern of whom one is trying to engage. Teams are no longer grouped by marketing disciplines and channels. Instead, they are aligned in keeping with customers through the purchase funnel, from awareness to consideration, discovery and purchase. All marketing teams are aligned by segment, objective, publications, keywords and so on.
New customer analysis, performance optimizations or real time content data necessitate a team that is fully equipped to handle them. Marketing teams need to be the voice of the customer and the identity of the brand too.
Segment driven marketing teams with customer experience at the core are able to cope with increasing reliance on web based technologies and social media for recommendations and brands to be able to be marketed over the full life cycle.
Data and analytics need to be incorporated in the marketing campaign. Marketing team structures of the future need to have a test and learn mindset and display agility when it comes to customer segmentation. A large portion of marketing budget is spend on digital marketing, and digital expertise is acquiring value in the sales team. Marketing teams that understand social, data and digital marketing techniques are growing in size. Structurally, marketing teams are changing from decentralisation to centralisation and now hub and spoke structures. The hub supports the overall marketing plus segmentation strategy, user experience, customer analytics, in-depth insights and complete brand. Sub brands are supported by the spoke. Campaign management and execution blend with social and digital marketing expertise. A collaboration ecosystem influences the growing marketing team as a result of web based marketing. Automation has changed, rather than reduced work roles in the marketing sector.
Excellence in customer experience is only possible if marketing is embracing technology. Marketing and IT need to go hand in hand when it comes to marketing, because we are now in the Internet marketplace, where everything is quantifiable and measurable. Data led marketing so organisations can leverage market intelligence better is a must.
Content is currency and social selling makes a difference when it comes to creating a powerful story that will engage customers. The new online web oriented marketing model uses social channels to built rapport in an increasingly digital marketplace. Marketing teams need to be creative,inbound and focused on buzz creation now.
Size of the teams needs to be flexible to allow for rapid growth and top of the funnel evolution. Demand generation teams focusing on customer retention are the order of the day. There is no one-size fits all marketing team number to suit all organisations. Current marketing teams work as transformers and brand ambassadors, with the power to harness the true potential of any business.

Moanalua Gardens, home of the Hitachi Tree, to charge admission
Meghan Miner,
Moanalua Gardens, a popular and free-to-enter private park five miles from downtown Honolulu, will charge admission starting April 15, 2015.
The fees—$3 for non-Hawaii resident adults and $1 for military and Hawaii resident adults—will pay for ongoing maintenance and new restoration work within the park. Children 12 and under will still receive free admission.
Prince Lot's former cottage.

The 24-acre park houses the massive and popular monkeypod known as the Hitachi Tree. More than 80 feet tall, shading some 3,000 square feet of lawn and estimated to be around 130 years old, the Hitachi Tree has served as a corporate emblem for Japanese electronics giant Hitachi since it began using it in advertisements in 1973.
In addition to the Hitachi Tree, the gardens are also home to four other state-designated "exceptional trees," a host of native and exotic plants and a historic summer cottage owned by Prince Lot Kapuaiwa, who would later become Hawaii's King Kamehameha V, in the 1850s. Hawaii's oldest and largest non-competitive hula celebration is named for Prince Lot and held on garden grounds each year. (This year's 38th Prince Lot Hula Festival will run July 18-19 and will remain free and open to the public).
Owner John P. Damon commented in a Moanalua Gardens press release that the park has been operating at a loss for the last seven years. The new fee structure will help to ensure the park maintains its current level of operation and allow for enhancements such as the restoration and renovation of the historic cottage, the visitor's parking lot and other facilities.

It is no secret that we eat A LOT of cereal in this house (I just counted, we have 9 boxes sitting in the pantry). With the constant need to snack every few hours cereal has been my go-to this pregnancy (and last…and in between). But, when you go through multiple boxes of sugary goodness in a week on your own, it is time to start looking for alternatives. I've been trying to find healthier ways to add a bit of variety to my snacking that are just as easy and just as tasty.
This granola is something that works as well in a bowl with milk as it does in a bag on the go (or in a bag from the comfort of the couch, lets be real). The added bonus? Lincoln loves it too.
*go ahead and use two or three times more chopped nuts if want a little more in your granola.
Mix oil and brown sugar in a saucepan on low heat until they combine at a low boil. Remove from heat.
Combine oats, nuts, and coconut in a large bowl and stir in the liquid. Mix well.
Let it cool on the baking sheet then add in dry fruit and enjoy.
**every oven is different and the first time I burned the edges of my pan of granola – I would keep a close eye on it as you get closer to the end the first time you make it.
Definitely going to try this! I've also been enjoying knowing there will be a post quite often. I absolutely LOVE your blog!!!!
thanks myisha 🙂 let me know how it turns out – and what fruits you end up adding!
This is great.I am pregnant too, first trimester and have morning sickness all day. Did you as well? Any pregnancy cravings? I have a two year old as well and am so tired. I am looking for quick meal ideas for tired, worn out pregnant mom's. ?
congratulations! but the morning sickness is the worst – mine was a little better this time around because I was up and eating by 6:30 every morning with Lincoln (days I didn't eat before 7 I was guaranteed to be sick) – but the nausea really just died down in the last few weeks for me and still if I'm not on top of eating every two or three hours I don't feel so great. I hope your energy comes back – I remember feeling like a zombie for a solid two or three months …just counting down till 7pm when baby would be in bed and I could climb into bed 🙂 hang in there mama!
as for cravings, the first trimester the only thing that really sounded good was bread and butter but there wasn't anything that I just needed to eat that moment, you know? What about you?
Yum! Looks delicious. I love eating granola and yogurt in the warmer months.

Q: Pass URL as get parameter? I'm trying to pass u url as parameter to a get method.
I defined a route that accepts a {*url} parameter so I can send "/" characters without it separating my parameter.
As soon as there is a ":" in the url (like in http: or localhost:3857 for example), the method never gets hit.
The Html.ActionLink method escapes it's parameter itself, but it doesn't seem to escape the ':'. I cannot escape it manually because then the escape characters get escaped by the very same Html.Actionlink method.
any ideas?

A: Use EncodeUrl before you pass it, and then decode it on the other side.

A: I ran into the same problem. I ended up removing the Html.ActionLink and replaced it with:
@item.Title

@item.ID is a url returned from the netflix api, example http://api.netflix.com/catalog/titles/series/70021357/seasons/70021357. Now my url looks like this - /Home/Movies?id=http://api.netflix.com/catalog/titles/series/70021357/seasons/70021357, and I just used Request.QueryString to get the value in the controller:
Request.QueryString.Get("id")

Probably not ideal but it works for now.

A: It's a bit of a hack, but you could replace the ':' with '%3A' (which is the escaped form), and see what the ActionLink does with it. If it's escaped once more, you'd have to replace the twice-escaped version back to ':' at the server, otherwise just replace '%3A' back to ':'

Something just clicked between mysterious FBI agent Desiree Depardieu and one Chick Corbett of Gerlach, Nevada. The twenty-something pair who traipsed through Doug Keister"s first novel, "Desiree" (2010) have arrived at a new venue in "Bullets, Baubles and Bones: A Chick Corbett Mystery" ($12.99 in paperback from CreateSpace; also for Amazon Kindle).
Tom"s expertise is needed to make sense of certain strange objects that may lead to the famed but elusive Russian Crown Jewels.
In the Preface we learn that Twotrees contacted Chico writer Doug Keister, whose book on cemeteries in Los Angeles plays a decisive part in the story, to write the tale mostly from Chick"s point of view. It"s a true (though convoluted) story but, uh, a few details had to be altered so Tom and Chick don"t end up in jail.
What unfolds is some serious bad-guy business containing a host of characters (like out of a Russian novel) with names like Anatoly Romanov, Natasha Popov, Vasily Egorov; there"s also "leggy Shasta Gudlae," "Laura Borealis," dudes named Edgar and Hamlin Slough, and "Chester Orland" (Chet for short). I mean, these names are all over the map.
Anyway, the novel tells how the Crown Jewels, collected over three centuries by the Romanov family, were smuggled out of Russia as the Bolsheviks took power. Clues to their whereabouts ended up in a casket in 1993, during a ceremony at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Santa Monica symbolically laying to rest Def Jam Records. This really happened. Or some of it did.
Tom"s expertise proves hair-raising, there are characters who are not what they seem, Desiree accepts Chick"s proposal, Russian patience is rewarded, and loose ends are tied together nicely at the end, thanks of course to a big rock and the LaBrea Tar Pits. Did I say convoluted?


Measuring Conversion KPIs | Are Your Campaigns Succeeding?
Home/Online Marketing, SEO, Social Media/Measuring Conversion KPIs | Are Your Campaigns Succeeding?
Wouldn't it be nice to see that your online marketing campaigns are working by looking at more than your company's bottom line? When running concurrent campaigns (and you are, aren't you?), you want to see how each of them perform. Otherwise, even when your bottom line says they're succeeding, you could be doing extremely well with one or two and have third that's failing miserably.
Today's blog post, the last of a five part series in measuring metrics and KPIs, was written with this problem in mind (look for Thursday's post that will have a wrap up, an ebook, and maybe a surprise if our graphics department can move quick enough). How do you tell which campaigns are working and which aren't?
There isn't a visible red flag. You don't get an email saying, "Hey, campaign 3 is tanking." No bells and whistles go off as the submarine sinks. –And since there aren't any of these very noticeable signs, we turn to what does tell us all this and more: metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Conversion – that moment when all your marketing team's hard work comes to fruition. It's a beautiful thing! Doesn't it just make you smile? Can you hear the angelic choir?
Conversion can sometimes be confused with Engagement. It's often qualified as the sale; therefore, if it doesn't bring dollars it doesn't look like a conversion. However, there are multiple touch points in online marketing. A single site may have three or more actions that would qualify as a conversion because, simply put, a conversion is when the visitor does what you want them to do.
The point of conversion is where all that market segmentation, multiple campaigns, multiple touch points and metric measurement starts to make some serious sense. Not only is this the bottom line (whether sales or lead generation makes no difference to analytics – it's all numbers), but it's also the place where you'll first see when something goes wrong.
Note: these points won't fall under the Engagement stage because they are the final steps you want your visitor to do.
You're spending marketing dollars on six campaigns, two for each potential conversion. Are your marketing dollars being spent wisely? What's succeeding? What isn't, and why? If you've set up market segmentation and followed it for each stage, these answers will be easier to find.
Key Performance Indicators for Conversion?
Of course, this means you'll have to make sure exclusive codes are set up, the free report form routes to a thank you page, and the customer service department is properly trained.
First, let's get rid of the phone calls. Because your customer service staff was correctly trained to ask, "Where did you hear about us," you know 5 calls came from Facebook and 10 from the TV ad. Of those, two converted from Facebook and five from the ad.
You've had 600 conversions through the website in the past two months (don't freak out at the numbers, we're just using examples here). Where are they coming from? Because you set up those exclusive codes, you know that at least 300 came from Facebook and 200 from the TV ads. That leaves 100 that fell out of the sky.
Although it appears Facebook is a clear winner, there may be something easily fixed in the TV ad that would make it outperform Facebook. Unfortunately, while FB was correctly tracked and the proper KPIs were chosen throughout, the only thing you can see on the TV ad is whether they used the code at the end or not. For that matter, your miscellaneous conversions could be from FB or TV, and the user just couldn't remember the code.
How would you set up the TV ad to provide better tracking throughout the funnel? Because of ad placement, you know you have a reach of about 5,000 people in a month. You get about 10,000 a month to your site, and at least 20% of them visit your free report page. Don't you want to know for sure what's happening to them?
Stay tuned for Thursday, where we'll wrap up the measuring metrics and KPIs series by walking you through the analytics set up for tracking a campaign through the business funnel. We'll be including screen shots, setting up event alerts, goals and traffic segmentation, all this KPI goodness in an eBook, and lots of information for you to chew. We hope to see you there!
(You Are Here) Part 4: Measuring Conversion KPIs: Are Your Campaigns Succeeding?


To develop, coordinate and oversee the execution of a balanced financial plan for the commonwealth that reflects the policies and priorities of the governor, promotes the efficient allocation and use of resources, and ensures that all funds received and disbursed for commonwealth programs are accounted for in accordance with current laws, regulations, and policies.
The Administrative Code of 1929 established the Office of the Budget within the Governor's Office and provides for appointment of the secretary of the budget by the governor. The budget function is administered through the executive deputy secretary for budget. As part of the executive branch, the Office of the Budget is responsible for preparing the governor's annual state budget and implementing it after it is passed by the general assembly and signed by the governor.
The two main operational areas of the Office of the Budget are the Governor's Budget Office, which oversees the preparation and implementation of the state budget, and the Office of Comptroller Operations, which oversees the commonwealth's uniform accounting, payroll and financial reporting systems. The Office of Administrative Services provides the commonwealth's Executive Offices with budget management, purchasing, payment, and facility management services. In 2011, the Commonwealth Office of Travel Operations became part of the Office of the Budget, functioning as a travel management service for all travelers conducting the business of the commonwealth.

Q: Evaluating whether a function is outer or inner automorphism in $\mathrm{\mathbf{SL}}_n(\mathbb{R})$
For fixed $C \in \mathrm{\mathbf{GL}}_n(\mathbb{R})$, define $\varphi, \psi: \mathrm{\mathbf{SL}}_n(\mathbb{R}) \rightarrow \mathrm{\mathbf{SL}}_n(\mathbb{R})$   as $$\varphi(A) = CAC^{-1}, \quad \psi(A) = (A^{\mathrm{\mathbf{t}}})^{-1}, \qquad
 (A\in \mathrm{\mathbf{SL}}_n(\mathbb{R}))$$

I've shown that both are automorphisms of ${\mathbf{SL}}_n(\mathbb{R})$, and I've shown that for C having positive determinant or n odd, $\varphi$ is an inner automorphism.
But I can't quite grasp for the case when $n$ would be even. Some reference I looked at stated it's not necessarily inner for $n$ even, but I'm looking for precisely when it is and when it is not.

The Importance of Suspense in a Novel By Joyce Shafer
Date: 15 Oct 2014Author: jcladyluv 0 Comments
Every story benefits from some level of suspense. Plot relies on it. For suspense to work well, readers have to care about or be curious about what will happen to one or more characters. This means that as important as plot and suspense are, characters are equally so because plot and suspense reveal the characters for who they really are and characters propel the plot forward, based on what they say or don't and the actions they take or don't. Suspense, as with anything, should never be used to fill space. It must be relevant to the story and relevant for the characters, based on their role in the story.
Readers may believe they know the characters you've created for them and will rely on them to be true to themselves, if you've developed them well, but readers still anticipate the feeling of suspense as they wonder what a character will say or do in certain circumstances. Think of it like baseball: as exciting as it is when the batter hits the ball, the real suspense happens in the moments that immediately follow the sound of the crack, when leather meets wood.
Suspense arises as a result of some form of conflict. Conflict in plot development works best when it shows up then builds, whether just in a particular scene or throughout the novel (though, every scene must contribute to the overall plot and character development). This may involve some form of danger, but it can also be an inner experience for a character as well.
Suspense is about risk, whether it's between one or more characters or within the character. Suspense can be anything from a character in a darkened room becoming aware there is something or someone breathing heavily on the other side of the door, or how a character will perform in a personal challenge such as facing a job interview panel or facing an angry lion that needs to be re-captured, or the ten-year-old boy working up courage to confront a bully. It can include any resistance a character feels-toward themselves, one or more others, or life events. Resistance is often about characters facing their worst enemy-themselves, in whatever circumstance they find themselves in.
Here's the main purpose for suspense: To keep readers reading the book and not wanting to put it down. But, suspense and conflict do not have to come from one dastardly event occurring right after another, like Dominoes falling. Suspense has all to do with the structure of the novel. Relevant and even life-changing events, wrapped in their own form of suspense, must happen as part of a logical sequence of events. You've done a good job with suspense when readers care about what's going to happen and don't want to stop turning pages, or if they must stop reading, they're eager to return to the book as soon as possible. You can use and build suspense in many ways; however, you don't want to overdo this or it will slow plot momentum. Worse, it will become obvious to readers that you're more interested in distracting them from less than stellar plot and character development than making sure the story engages them.
Other forms of suspense include seeking something significant, big discoveries that are made, time running out, physical attacks, as well as emotional or spiritual attacks. Something as simple as an envelope with a significant message inside received but unopened and forgotten about or an important fax that falls under a nearby piece of furniture creates suspense. There's something there a character needs to know about-readers know about it-but the character is operating in the dark. This creates a promise to readers: at some point, the character will either discover or be impacted by this.
Suspense must happen organically within plot development; and three of many ways to do this involves the use of clues, false clues, and red herrings. "A clue is a mistake by another name," said the character James Hathaway in the PBS series Inspector Lewis). Clues provide information to a character (and to readers). These can include tangible objects such as fingerprints, or a button torn from a garment during a struggle and later pried from the clenched hand of the victim, or a circled listing in a newspaper. A false clue can be used on a character by another character (a character lies to the private investigator), which is learned by the P.I. later in the story. You can also use what's called a red herring, which is an event or statement that misleads characters (and readers); but this must be logical and have relevance to the story. A red herring keeps readers from figuring out what's really going on sooner than you wish to reveal what is going on.
I wish you the best with your writing, process, and progress.

EFT's Logistics CIO Forum on The Logistics Tech Revolution
CIOs and Senior IT Executives from leading logistics providers joined other industry professionals in Austin, TX earlier this month for EFT's North American Logistics CIO Forum, an event held annually to, "discuss the key technology issues impacting the logistics industry through in-depth presentations, interactive peer discussions, and unique networking opportunities."
During the event, project44's VP of Sales Engineering, Jason Kerner, participated in an interactive panel that covered the bright future of industry technology. For those who missed the panel, or simply want a recap, here are the highlights.
The Logistics Tech Revolution: Where we're Headed and How to Get There
Moderator: Eric Johnson - American Shipper
Bart De Muynck - Research Director - Gartner, Tony Kreager - Marketing and API Specialist - FedEx, John Lebowitz - VP Supply Chain Operations - Stryker, Jason Kerner - VP Sales Engineering - project44
Automating the Full Shipment Lifecycle
At this point, it's really no secret that the logistics industry is technologically behind other industries, even the ones it rubs shoulders with like manufacturing. Gartner's Bart De Muynck went as far as to say logistics is roughly 20 years behind other industries, "In logistics, companies with high industry maturity have a relatively low maturity in general tech." he stated.
What De Muynck is essentially saying is that, at least until recently, the most technologically advanced players in the logistics space still have a lot of room to advance. That being said, companies are becoming more and more aware of this, and they're starting to realize how much spend can be reduced, and how much efficiency can be gained, by leveraging modern technology.
project44's Jason Kerner explains how that's possible, "There are two key points to look at right now," he says, "Data and integration. The companies that adopt the quickest—with APIs, with IoT, with agile cloud deployments—they're going to be in such a competitive advantage. The longer you wait, the more expensive that entry point is, and you'll get to the point where you're not going to be able to catch up."
When you combine all of the components to which Kerner is referring, you're able to automate your supply chain. To this point, the most widely adopted technology solutions in the industry have centered around data. Companies are able to collect a large amount of data, they're just not quite sure what to do with it. They need to be leveraging that data for automation by way of API technology.
API Integration Strategies
FedEx's Tony Kreager echoes a sentiment that is being heard by many supply chain partners across the industry, "Disruption happens because we're obsessed with the customer experience." He explains that FedEx's customers want more information about things like tracking, rating, and other shipment details, "[They] want to take that information and pair it with pieces of information that [they're] getting from other API endpoints, and deliver a much richer experience to [their] end consumers."
The supply chain has become extremely complicated, and companies need more functional data. The only way that data becomes useful across the supply chain, however, is if all stakeholders receive the same high quality information in real-time. De Muynck refers to this as "supply chain convergence," which essentially means collaboration.
Connectivity is a major differentiator. Linking transportation to things like inventory planning, demand planning, and replenishment planning is only possible if the different parts of the supply chain agree to collaborate and share information. That's where true process automation becomes possible, but it relies on each stakeholder integrating with the right APIs.
"Everyone is still optimizing within their own four walls," says De Muynck, "We have to have more collaboration."
Build Vs. Buy
Many companies do no have API technology in place as of yet, but just about everyone is heading in that direction. This brings up the question of build vs. buy—should a company develop APIs in-house, or integrate with a third-party technology vendor. FedEx, for example, instituted an API Integrator Program earlier this year, which is extremely telling. FedEx is clearly large enough and has the resources to develop everything in-house, but they choose to leverage partnerships with modern technology companies like project44.
FedEx's own API Specialist Tony Kreager explains that three major things factor into the build vs. buy decision, "Cost, resource time, and integration complexity."
De Muynck adds, "It's much more difficult to have the resources available. The rate of change is too high to manage [technology] in house, and secondly, to keep up."
The buy instead of build argument has changed a lot in recent years, especially where logistics APIs are concerned. It goes back to what the panel talked about earlier with collaboration—you're not just buying a product off the shelf anymore, you're buying into a partnership. That means you're working together to continually innovate the product, and you're asking your technology partners to build things that directly benefit your needs. You're getting continued support and integration assistance.
Collaboration is making the entire API development and integration process more simple, which is extremely important considering how quickly companies need to adopt new technology to avoid falling behind.
"There should be a sense of urgency," says Kerner."It's not where the industry is going. It's already there."

ГЕС Kvarnsveden — гідроелектростанція у центральній Швеції. Знаходячись між ГЕС Forshuvud (вище за течією) та ГЕС Domnarvet, входить до складу каскаду на річці Дальельвен, яка впадає в Ботнічну затоку Балтійського моря.

Перший генеруючий об'єкт на місці сучасної ГЕС Kvarnsveden спорудили ще у 1897—1900 роках з метою забезпечення місцевого паперового, деревообробного та металургійного виробництва. В 1929-му станція пройшла через першу модернізацію із заміною турбін та спорудженням бетонної греблі.

У 1975 році збудували нову греблю та ввели в експлуатацію Kvarnsveden II, яка має одну турбіну потужністю 28 МВт та виробляє 110 млн кВт·год електроенергії на рік.

Старий паперовий комбінат припинив свою діяльність 1992-го, тоді як пов'язані з ним споруди ГЕС працювали ще певний час, допоки не були демонтовані в 1995-му. Наступного року їм на заміну ввели Kvarnsveden III з турбіною потужністю 30 МВт, яка видає 165 млн кВт·год електроенергії на рік.

Розташовані біля правого й лівого берегів машинні зали інтегровані у греблю висотою 15 метрів та працюють з напором до 14 метрів.

Wahab Riaz delivered one of the most fearsome spells in World Cup history but Australia, helped by some shoddy Pakistan fielding, weathered the storm and set up a semi-final showdown with India. Chasing 214 to win this quarter-final, Australia faced trouble at 59 for 3. Wahab delivered a bouncer barrage to Shane Watson but, like a zing bail earlier in the day, Watson wobbled but did not fall, and was there to strike the winning runs.
The key moment came when Wahab's efforts led to a top edge from Watson that flew high to fine leg, where Rahat Ali contrived to drop the simplest of chances. Wahab let out a scream, and you could sense all the pressure he had built slowly dissipate. Wahab was playing like a cornered tiger; Rahat after his drop looked like a cornered kitten. Pakistan soon ran out of energy and options. Watson, Steven Smith and Glenn Maxwell secured the result.
Just as Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene left ODI cricket with a disappointing loss on Wednesday, so too will Misbah-ul-Haq and Shahid Afridi. Misbah was always in the game, though, his 34 helping to rebuild Pakistan's innings and his captaincy asking questions of Australia. Who'd have thought that in a World Cup quarter-final a 40-year-old skipper would be under the helmet at short leg?
But so Misbah was as the pressure built on Australia. Wahab's initial six-over spell brought 2 for 24 – David Warner cut to third man and Michael Clarke fended a short one to a man in close. The Clarke wicket was indicative of Pakistan's approach, and it only became clearer when Watson arrived.
Wahab fizzed bouncer after bouncer at Watson's head and chest; Watson ducked and fended awkwardly. He scored only four times off Wahab in that spell, one flew off the shoulder of the bat short of third man, one was the drop by Rahat. At the other end, Smith had no such trouble, calmly compiling runs, cover driving with exquisite timing and placement. In terms of fluency, watching Smith and Watson batting together was like seeing Winston Churchill trying to converse with Manuel from Fawlty Towers.
But once Wahab was too exhausted to continue, Watson was a different batsman. He immediately pulled Sohail Khan for four, and the runs began to flow. Smith fittingly brought up his half-century with a superb cover drive for four off Rahat from his 51st delivery, but was eventually lbw to Ehsan Adil walking across his stumps for 65.
Maxwell joined Watson after the 89-run Smith-Watson stand and played some outlandish shots, including a tennis smash that flew off the frame of his racquet, or bat, and was put down by Sohail at third man. Typically, it was off a Wahab short ball. Pakistan will go no further in this tournament, but it will not be through any lack of effort from Wahab. Maxwell was on 44 and Watson 64 when the victory came.
Pakistan's fielding was poor, but their biggest problem was their batting. Their innings featured more cameos than a Robert Altman film, but no lead role. Eight batsmen reached double figures but nobody scored a fifty. Once a solid 73-run stand between Misbah and Haris Sohail was broken, it was a steady decline. Still, from 24 for 2 in the sixth over, they were perhaps fortunate to even breach 200.
Misbah started slowly and looked set to perform yet another rescue mission, and together with Haris frustrated the Australians. Ultimately, though, it was Pakistan who were frustrated. Trying to lift the run rate, Misbah fell for 34 off 59 deliveries, and was followed soon after by a flat-footed Haris, who edged behind off Mitchell Johnson for 41 off 57.
Cow corner turned into sheep corner as one by one the Pakistan batsmen followed each other senselessly into oblivion by slogging to the man at deep midwicket. Misbah was the leader of the flock. Twice he had cleared the midwicket boundary off Maxwell, but when he tried for a third he managed only a top edge that was comfortably taken by Aaron Finch.
Perhaps tempted by the short square boundaries, Umar Akmal also sent a catch straight to Finch at deep midwicket off Maxwell. Then it was Afridi, who miscued his pull off Josh Hazlewood and was well caught by Finch above his head back near the boundary. Akmal had made 20 off 25, Afridi had struck 23 off 15. If it is Afridi's final ODI innings, it was at least a typical one.
A 30-run stand between Sohaib Maqsood and Wahab briefly annoyed the Australians, although mostly because so many balls whizzed passed their outside edges. The seeds for Wahab's aggressive bowling might have been sowed when Mitchell Starc seemed to advise him that the ball was white, and he should try to hit it. There was some tension at the time, though they were sharing a smile or two soon after.
Maqsood fell for 29 when he slashed Hazlewood to point, and Wahab was gone for 16 when he edged behind off Starc. Hazlewood had moved the ball early and finished with 4 for 35, justifying the decision of the selectors to recall him ahead of Pat Cummins, and Starc bowled well for his two. Pakistan limped to the 50th over but 213 was hardly what Misbah had in mind when he chose to bat.
But then, maybe it was a decent effort given both openers gone within the first six overs. Sarfraz Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad both edged to slip to be caught low to the ground by diving fielders, Watson off Starc for Sarfraz and Clarke off Hazlewood for Shehzad. It was nearly 24 for 3 in the sixth over when Misbah had a stroke of good fortune.
The second ball that Misbah faced flicked the leg stump and while the zing bail lit.

Afternoon Tea in Kent
When we think about afternoon tea – that most quintessential of English traditions – we conjure up images of fine bone china cups and three-tiered platters filled with finger sandwiches, cakes, and scones with lashings of jam and cream.
Is there a better place to indulge in this ritual than the Garden of England itself? We think not. The lush, historic region of Kent is filled with chocolate-box cottages, rambling castles, distinctive cone-shaped oast houses, vineyards and orchards, and of course a delightful selection of tea rooms.
Before we show you why afternoon tea in Kent is a match made in heaven, let's have a quick look at the origins of this custom.
The Great English Tradition of Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea has a rich and flavoursome history dating back to the early 1840s, when dinner was served at the fashionably late hour of 8 or 9 pm. Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, complained of feeling faint in the afternoon as her energy levels dipped. To combat this, she asked for a pot of tea and some light snacks to be brought to her boudoir mid-afternoon.
Over time, she began inviting friends to join her at Woburn Abbey to exchange news and gossip over tea and cakes, and this afternoon interlude was an instant success. The duchess continued the ritual when she returned to London, and before long it was adopted by all of fashionable society, and eventually by society as a whole.
The Ingredients for a Perfect Afternoon Tea
Traditionally, afternoon tea begins with delicate finger sandwiches with a selection of fillings, including thinly sliced cucumber. Next are scones, served with preserves and clotted cream, and finally a selection of cakes and pastries.
To accompany this, tea from India or Ceylon is brewed in a silver pot and served in bone-china cups.
Traditions vary from region to region. While tea connoisseurs debate the merits of tea or milk first in their cups, a fierce debate rages between Devon and Cornwall over whether to spread jam or cream first over the scone.
Kent, a Beautiful Destination for Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea in Kent is a tradition honoured with style. Whether you prefer to take your tea in stately homes and country houses, or gardens and quaint tea rooms, there is a wonderful selection of venues dotted around the rich countryside, along the stunning coastline, and in the towns and villages.
The orchards of Kent produce some of the finest fruit in England and the county is renowned for its locally made preserves, which make an excellent accompaniment to the scones and cream. But are they spread on the scone before the cream? Well, that's entirely up to you.

The 2012 net income of Colombia's state-run oil company Ecopetrol fell 4.4% compared with 2011 due to slightly lower oil prices and higher costs, and in spite of increased production.
The company said Friday that its production increased 4%, but that the oil giant failed to reach last year's goal of an average of 780,000 barrels per day (BPD). The company said to have produced no more than 754,000 BPD throughout 2012.
Despite the increase in production, Ecopetrol's consolidated net income last year was 14.8 trillion pesos ($8.3 billion) compared with COP15.5 trillion in 2011, it said. For the fourth quarter, its net profit was COP3.6 trillion, down 18% from that quarter a year earlier.
Last year "was quite challenging for Ecopetrol. Various circumstances related to operations and the overall environment were addressed in order to attain growth and positive results for our shareholders," chief executive Javier Gutierrez was quoted as saying by Dow Jones Newswires.
The Colombian oil company was facing crude oil prices that dropped 12.44% over the last 12 months while rebels groups like the FARC and ELN stepped up attacks on the oil industry in the first half of 2012, pressuring the company's ability to produce oil.
Ecopetrol is nearly 90% owned by the government, while the rest is traded on stock markets. The company's shares trade on the Colombian Stock Exchange and in New York.

If you are paying attention to what is happening in our federal government concerning abortion, you most likely think the title of this article is a mistake.
From picking Kamala Harris, an avid Planned Parenthood supporter, as his running mate to installing Xavier Becerra, another big supporter of Planned Parenthood, as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Biden has done nothing but kowtow to the United States' largest abortion conglomerate.
As reported by FRC Action, Biden has been taking actions that have decimated the pro-life efforts of the previous administration.
Repealed the Trump administration's "Mexico City policy," which prohibited US funds from going to foreign NGOs that perform or promote abortion.
Withdrew from the US-led Geneva Consensus Declaration, a 34-country agreement that declared abortion is not an international human right and should never be promoted as a method of family planning.
Took steps to resume funding of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which supports abortion in China.
Started the process to end the Title X Protect Life Rule that made Planned Parenthood withdraw from Title X (and lose $60 million).
Signed the American Rescue Plan Act (H.R. 1319), a COVID-19 relief package that lacks key abortion funding restrictions on over $459 billion.
Approved the decision by the US Food and Drug Administration to not enforce long-standing federal regulations that require abortion pills to be dispensed in person; this opens the door to "abortion by mail."
Approved the decision by the National Institutes of Health to repeal the Trump-era policy that heavily restricted taxpayer funding of aborted fetal tissue research.
The White House issued a statement in support of a bill that would make DC the 51st state. DC's admission as a state would nullify Congressional control over DC's budget, effectively allowing DC to fund elective abortions.
With all of this, here is what Alexis McGill Johnson, CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in an interview published by the Rewire News Group last week (April 27, 2021):
"I think the president can be stronger in support for abortion. Some of his executive orders came out without using the word, and our other movement colleagues have challenged him on this. The president, with the bully pulpit, cannot further stigmatize abortion by not even deigning to say the word. I think pushing on that then extends to what's really important right now, like creating access to [the abortion medication] mifepristone through telehealth. We're still in a pandemic, people still need access to sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion, and the Biden administration could be doing more to press on that for sure."
For decades, those opposed to Planned Parenthood have had a consistent message—Planned Parenthood is all about abortion. Whether it is surgical abortions, Pill abortions, or early abortions caused by so-called contraceptives that work by preventing an already created human being from implanting in his or her mother's womb, Planned Parenthood has never met an abortion it doesn't like.
You would think that, with all the action Biden has taken to push abortions and to give lots more money to Planned Parenthood, Johnson would be happy; clearly, she is not. She really wants Biden to talk about abortion every time he opens his mouth.
All of this is not surprising when you consider how she got involved with Planned Parenthood in the first place. As Johnson told the Washington Post,
"I literally was just walking down the street and saw a billboard that I now know was run by [Life Always]. It had a little Black girl's face on it, and she just was cute. [Laughs.] And so, I got closer, and I saw the words underneath that said, 'The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.' I'm from New Jersey. My family had moved to Georgia. And so, I would travel on holidays and see billboards like that and would totally write that off as being, you know, something that happened in really conservative states. And when I saw it in New York City — it was in SoHo — I just was shocked, like, What is going on here? Then I happened to be at a dinner party with [then-Planned Parenthood CEO] Cecile Richards. We were introduced to each other, and I just kept telling her: 'This is horrible. You're the head of Planned Parenthood. You need to do something about this.' And she said, 'No, you need to do something about this.' A few weeks later, I got a note with an invitation to lunch with Cecile. It was there that I just dug in and started to understand how complicated and critical the work is."
It was an anti-abortion billboard focusing on the impact of abortion on the Black community that got Johnson involved with Planned Parenthood. Now she is the CEO of the entire organization and is unhappy with the most pro-abortion president in US history because he doesn't mention abortion often enough.
I wonder how many dead Black babies it will take to satisfy her.
Jim Sedlak is executive director of American Life League, founder of STOPP International, and host of a weekly talk show on the Radio Maria Network. He has been successfully fighting Planned Parenthood since 1985.
Planned Parenthood does not have a medical center in North Dakota; it does have an educational office run by Planned Parenthood North Central States. For many years, PPNCS has received funds from a federal grant administered by North Dakota State University faculty to support comprehensive sex education.
Pro-life lawmakers in North Dakota have long been upset by this use of taxpayer money and have tried to stop the funding. NDSU administrators defend the expenditure and claim that any attempt by state legislators to block the funding is a violation of the university's "academic freedom."
This year, the North Dakota legislature introduced a bill (SB 2030) that specifies, according to the Bismarck Tribune, ". . . any institution that enters into a contract with 'a person that performs or promotes the performance of an abortion' would have its operating budget cut by 2.5%. The school official signing the contract also would face a misdemeanor charge punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,500 fine." If the bill is enacted into law, NDSU would lose $2.8 million in funding if it continues to contract with Planned Parenthood.
Obviously, Planned Parenthood and its friends at the university and state government have been fighting hard against SB 2030.
The bill passed the House on a vote of 66-25 and passed the Senate on a vote of 35-11! It was sent to the governor on April 27 for his signature. If the governor were to veto the bill, there should be enough votes in the legislature to override the veto.
Planned Parenthood and the university continue to fight against the bill.
We encourage all our readers to pray that the governor will sign the bill and North Dakotans will finally be freed from funding Planned Parenthood.
The state of Arkansas is using 2021 to pass some pro-life legislation, including the Arkansas Student Protection Act (HB 1592).
The Act says: "A public school or open-enrollment public charter school shall not knowingly enter into any type of transaction with an individual or entity that: (1) Performs abortions; (2) Induces abortions; or (3) Provides abortions."
This act clearly prohibits Planned Parenthood, which commits Pill abortions at its Little Rock center, from doing anything in Arkansas schools.
The Arkansas Student Protection Act was passed by a vote of 73-18 in the House on April 19; passed by a vote of 27-5 in the Senate on April 21; and signed into law by Governor Asa Hutchinson on April 22.
The Christian Post reported that Jerry Cox of the Arkansas Family Council celebrated the vote, calling it a "good bill" that "will help make sure Planned Parenthood and other abortionists don't access Arkansas' public schools."
It also published Planned Parenthood's reaction. Gloria Pedro of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, the regional body of the abortion provider that includes Arkansas, denounced the legislation in this statement: "Our students' basic education should not be jeopardized because of the Legislature's misguided political agenda."
Barring Planned Parenthood from Arkansas schools is a major blow to the organization. Planned Parenthood has only one center in Arkansas (in Little Rock) and any expansion plans always involve getting into the schools to indoctrinate young children and get them involved in a sexual lifestyle that then provides a hefty income to Planned Parenthood.
We're sure it will still try other ways to spread its horrendous programs, but the legislature and governor have now taken away its preferred method.
Congratulations to all the anti-Planned Parenthood individuals and organizations in the Natural State!
The West Texas city of Lubbock is a pro-life city. Planned Parenthood used to have a center in there but left in 2013. Then, a couple of years ago, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas received a multi-million-dollar gift specifically to open centers in West Texas. It first opened one in El Paso and, in 2020, it opened a new facility in Lubbock. From the beginning, Planned Parenthood said it would commit abortions in Lubbock and began killing babies there just last month.
From the first announcement of Planned Parenthood's return, Lubbock citizens were looking for a way to make them leave. One of the things they looked at was getting Lubbock officially declared a "Sanctuary City for the Unborn." That is done normally through a vote of the city council prohibiting abortion within city limits. Twenty-four other cities in Texas and Nebraska have already received that designation. None of those cities have an abortion facility within their city limits. Lubbock would be the largest city and the first to have an operating abortion business. Citizens of Lubbock went to the city council and asked them to make that declaration. After much study and discussion, the city council voted unanimously NOT to pursue such a designation.
Not to be dissuaded, the local citizens circulated a petition to have the local ordinance making Lubbock a Sanctuary City for the Unborn put on the ballot for the next election. They were able to collect more than enough signatures, and the matter was voted on by city residents last Saturday, May 1. Planned Parenthood fought hard against the ordinance.
Over 34,000 Lubbock citizens voted on May 1 and the Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance was approved by 62 percent of the voters. Praise God!
So, what happens now? Because of the US Supreme Court Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey decisions, law enforcement in Lubbock cannot begin arresting people committing abortions in the city. In fact, the ordinance says that no legal action will be taken until SCOTUS makes changes to those two decisions.
However, Section F of the ordinance authorizes certain individuals to bring civil lawsuits against "any person or entity who commits" an abortion within city limits. It specifically authorizes lawsuits from "the unborn child's mother, father, grandparents, siblings and half-siblings." It goes on to specify that the person or entity who committed the abortion "shall be liable to each surviving relative of the aborted unborn child for: (a) compensatory damages, including damages for emotional distress; (b) punitive damages; and (c) costs and attorneys' fees. There is no statute of limitations for this private right of action."
Although this ordinance does not give fathers of children killed in abortion a way of saving their children's lives, it does give them the ability to file lawsuits—the fear of which may cause the abortionist and/or staff members to not commit the abortion. Unfortunately, the ordinance, as written, doesn't allow suing the aborted child's mother.
The ordinance also says that "any private citizen of Texas … may bring an action to enforce this ordinance …" That action could include "injunctive relief and statutory damages of $2,000 for each violation."
These lawsuits can be pursued even with the current Supreme Court decisions.
The mayor of Lubbock, Dan Post, issued the following statement on the city's website: "Over the course of several months, Lubbock citizens who support the ordinance and those opposed have expressed their thoughts in public forums and engaged in passionate debate on this sensitive issue. Today, voters made it clear that Lubbock will become the next sanctuary city for the unborn. I am encouraged by the significant voter turnout. On behalf of the City Council, our duty as elected officials is to begin the process in adding the approved ordinance to the City of Lubbock Code of Ordinances, as directed by the Lubbock City Charter. The Lubbock City Council, per state law, will canvass the votes from this election on Tuesday, May 11, with a likely ordinance effective date as early as June 1."
Planned Parenthood's immediate reaction was to say that the Lubbock center will remain open and that its lawyers are studying the ordinance to determine whether it will continue to commit abortions. Obviously, Planned Parenthood is concerned about the potential lawsuits.
Congratulations to the citizens of Lubbock for your tenacity and your support of preborn children!
We encourage all our readers to explore the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn movement to see if a similar ordinance can be implemented in your town.

ISIS Plot Thwarted In Upstate NY, Cuomo Says It's 'New Normal'
Rusty Weiss — December 31, 2015
An ISIS-inspired terror plot has been thwarted in Rochester, New York, and Governor Cuomo explained that people should be ready to accept such acts as "the new normal."
Emanuel Lutchman was arrested earlier today for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
At the direction of an ISIS member in Syria, Lutchman had planned to kill innocent civilians at a restaurant/bar in the Rochester area on New Year's Eve.
The Democrat & Chronicle reports:
Authorities announced Thursday a man identified as Emanuel L. Lutchman allegedly plotted to kill people on New Year's Eve in upstate New York. They say he was planning to kill civilians at a Rochester restaurant/bar. He was identified as an ISIS sympathizer.
He made an appearance in federal court Thursday morning.
Court documents revealed that Lutchman had been in contact online with someone overseas who identified himself as an ISIS member in Syria. They also allege that he had planned on planting a pressure cooker bomb at a local bar or restaurant during crowded New Year's Eve celebrations. Lutchman also suggested to an FBI informant that he should also kidnap and kill people.
"If we grab somebody, they can't live," he told the informant. "They may identify the vehicle. They can't live."
Congressman John Katko (NY-24) released a statement regarding the New Year's Eve terror plot, saying today's news "reinforces that we face a real threat in combating ISIS."
Governor Cuomo also spoke with the media after news of the ISIS plot got out, saying it was "sobering" as New York and the nation deals with the "new normal" of terrorism.
Cuomo also inexplicably and continually linked the "new normal" of terrorism to global warming.
"We talk about the 'new normal' with climate and extreme weather … there's also a 'new normal' when it comes to terrorism," he said.
"Just the way we've adjusted to weather … this is part of the new world order," the governor added. "We're up to it, but it's going to take every citizen to do their part also."
This marks the second ISIS-related arrest to occur in this location.
Last month, a 31 year-old pizza shop owner in Rochester pleaded guilty in federal court to recruiting for ISIS.
Mufid Elfgeeh was one of the very first Americans to ever be accused of recruiting for the terrorist organization when he was arrested in May of 2014.

How do you establish a classroom culture in which students routinely conjecture and think mathematically? How do you establish a way of working with teachers, using video, in which discussion supports professional development? The present book offers answers to these questions through an in depth (enactivist) study of one exceptional teacher in one innovative mathematics department in the UK. The book reveals some striking parallels between working to support students' mathematical thinking and working to support teacher learning. A case is made for the importance of metacommunication in both contexts – communication about the communications that are occurring. For example, there is compelling evidence from a classroom that metacommunication, linked to the words 'conjecture' and 'becoming a mathematician', supports student metacognition and mathematical thinking. In working with teachers or students, offering these powerful metacommunications seems to require a heightened listening. With a heightened listening, attention is placed not just in what is said, but in what kind of a thing is said, with the teacher or facilitator being alongside the individuals in the wider group. "Read this book if you're a teacher for insights into how one teacher establishes a classroom culture where her children are doing mathematics, 'being mathematicians' and reflect on what you want in your own classroom. Read this book if you're a teacher educator to reflect on parallels between teaching and running professional development sessions, particularly using video. If you do not fit in either of these categories, read this book and use stories in your life." – Laurinda Brown, University of Bristol.


Just to inform everyone in case they see a post asking; the newsletter is NOT being put out any longer. We were stopped from doing so back in August 2014 and after a lengthy time were told we could, then it was not sent out any longer for unknown reasons.
Just trying to keep everyone up to date on what happened. I know I have seen it mentioned here and there and figured we needed an explanation as much as we could give.
I saw that and also wanted you to know that in search engines, even though our headers were updated on the home page, the description that comes up under FC in search engines is still summery....no following the change in seasons!
I know, I have been contacted by IB and they are going to post on Family Corner Magazine and they did one post, but as far as everything else it looks like it just is not going to happen. I'm at a standstill on it since the "owners" of FC will not just take the lead and get everything updated with words and the pictures people are seeing. Sorry!
I see 2 posts from IB.
Guess there has been another one, maybe they WILL continue to post on it which should help!
