Outstanding superior service. I didnt feel like a customer, I truly felt like I was part of a family. Every step of the way was explain to me and wife and this help with the nerves and anxiety of buying a home. I am very thankful for my loan officer and his team. I am telling every veteran I know about my experience because everyone deserves amazing service. Thank you Mike Patzius and Sara Price, our service was extremely smooth because of you.
Hands down working with Veterans United was the best decision I could have made. The entire process was easy and headache free. I would gladly recommend these services to friends and family.
My fellow veterans!, I recommend highly this very adept real estate agent.
Veterans United was a pleasure to work with! They made the process so simple and were true professionals! I would recommend them to anyone.
Veterans United delivered a home loan quickly and efficiently to me. They guided me in the areas I needed guidance and was receptive to any of my questions. They procured me a good interest rate and locked it in at the right time. This was my second time using Veterans United and it gets better each time.
You can rest assured that Veterans United will make the process of home buying from start to finish easy. They work hard to get you into the home of your dreams.
I initially started my VA loan approach by surfing the internet and trying to find what lenders were providing in interest rates and that's how I came into contact with Veterans United. I spoke with them and I was kind of on the fence with the going with them, but I decided to have my background checked and become pre-approved. I also went to Navy Federal and received a pre-approved loan that provided a slightly better interest rate. Naturally I went down the path of Navy Federal, but Veterans United fought for my attention and sent a package in the mail with a pair of socks and that won me over. In addition, I started to see how Navy Federal was doing this process and I had a lot of questions as a first time home buyer. Veterans United made their team readily available to answer my questions, plus their website/app was just easier for me to understand everything that was required. I highly recommend Veterans United to anyone.
We still can't believe we own a beautiful home all thanks to hard work and support from Veterans United. Veterans United is staffed by people who have a family oriented approach, and that is always a breath of fresh air. The day of the closing we even got a surprise gift from our finance officers team, we were amazed how thoughtful everyone was.
We were extremely happy with Vetrans United! They were quick to respond, very helpful, and their site made it very easy to understand what was needed from us and get the right documentation uploaded. Closed 16 days earlier before the original closing date) which saved us a ton of money. We'd definitely use them again for a future home purchase.
I unsuccessfully attempted to us my VA benefits as a young recent release from active service because of the intractable process and poor communication; back then, I walked away and got a conventional loan.... many years passed and I decided to try Veterans United and despite the unusual conditions Veterans United not only delivered, but closed the deal in record time.
Our experience was very easy and fast. The team we worked with answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly.
Veterans United is family. The team that i worked with got the job done. Knew exactly what they were doing and how to do it.
Veterans United Home Loans was absolutely the best decision I have made. The team I worked with was phenomenal and always more than accommodating to my requests and strange work hours. They were there to reassure me at all time when the daunting reality of home buying got the best of me occasionally. Always timely and always a pleasure to talk to. Every person that worked with me was very friendly, compassionate, and positive. I could tell they were hard workers and had a love for what they do.


Alex, ik kan het jou wel uitleggen. Ik woon al mijn hele leven op het Allardsoog. Als je uitgaat van het ven dan zie je linksonder de volkshogeschool en rechtsonder het huis van Henk van der Wielen. Het buurthuis staat bovenaan op de foto op links. Jullie buurtje staat nog niet op de foto. De foto is gedateerd 1963, maar volgens mij is de foto van een vroegere datum.
Estulin is awesome, read his new book "Shadow Masters" and it was great.For some reason that book got virtually no publicity compared to his Bilderberg books.But anyway awesome job getting Estulin on the show, I would always stop by to watch him.Also get Fritz back on and have you ever spoken to Texx Mars???
La "democrazia" fallisce completamente qui.Perché se la massa è fatta di intimoriti e impauriti, di fobici del buio, quindi di persone che hanno un problema, visto che il buio è assolutamente parte della Natura e del ben vivere naturle, allora significa che questa società e' PROFONDAMENTE malata e marcia.Infatti. I risultati si vedono con la distruzione progressiva della biosfera da parte del cancro umano.
…I couldnt ask for a better way to enter into a new year. Possibilities limitless, adventure endless, visually mindblowing, beats surrounding. Totally free, pure bliss.
Según mi experiencia, Paris debería estar en el primer lugar.Alguien dice que Buenos Aires es parecido a Paris… Definitivamente decir eso es una falta de respeto para Paris…. Bs. Aires ni se acerca a lo que es Paris… Conozco de cerca ambas ciudades, son muy diferentes.
so),and because alternative energies have come a long way technically. The only way to get this done is to be more proactive in alternate energies, so that they can replace at least some of the nuclear. The ON Green Party would aim to get excess hydro from Quebec, ramp up alternatives, and save by mothballing some nuclear. (This plan would save over one billion dollars)The info. can be found on the Mike Schreiner link that I left. I would like a clarification, however. Am I correct that it is up to the landowner if he/she wants a turbine on his/her property?
Glad that there are reality shows that you can enjoy!I watch quite a few of them too because they are great stress relievers.Gives me a chance to cheer on my favorite reality stars as they tangle with the day-to-day struggles of life.
Sembles me mare….. ella con tal de no tirar res fa virgeries i jo ho tiraria tot…. ajjaja i veient això me'n arrepenteixo!!El meu pare menja moltes coses amb samfaina: conill, bacallà …. així que ho tindré en compte! Petonets!!


Laparoscopic surgery requires the surgeon to perform complex operative procedures, utilising a relatively small set of standardised tools, including surgical laparoscopic instruments and laparoscopes, which are inserted into the patient through port sites in the abdomen. It is characterised by reduced risk of infection, reduced surgical invasiveness, shorter recovery times, smaller scars, better visualisation of internal anatomy for surgeons, and better postoperative clinical outcomes for the patient. Many abdominal surgical procedures can be performed using laparoscopic surgical techniques, and the list of compatible procedures is expanding.
Laparoscopic surgery has many benefits for the patient over open surgery but the remote nature of the procedures involves inherent human factors challenges which can impact on clinical outcome for the patient. These issues are compounded by the long duration of many abdominal laparoscopic surgeries.
The purpose of this research is to explore opportunities to improve clinical outcome in laparoscopic abdominal surgery, through the application of a multi-disciplinary approach to medical device design. This involves research-led development of instruments, testing protocols, testing rigs, and synthetic tissue facsimile development to ultimately aid in laparoscopic surgery innovation. A secondary aim is to gain a better understanding of the colorectal region through the application of 3D modelling of anatomically accurate soft tissue models.

FKA twigs Shares Release Date and Cover Art for New Album 'MAGDALENE'
Video via FKA twigs
At last, official word on a new FKA twigs album has been gifted to the planet.
Early Monday, FKA twigs (who makes her feature film debut this fall in Shia LaBeouf's Honey Boy) announced the release date and additional intel on her new album MAGDALENE, which arrives five years after the Young Turks-released LP1.
Recording sessions for what is being billed as the multifaceted artist's "most masterful, innovative work to date" went down in London, New York, and Los Angeles and include contributions from Nicolas Jaar and others.
You can check out the video for the Future-assisted album cut "holy terrain" up top.
The track, per Monday's news, boasts co-production from FKA Twigs (who boasts production credits on every song on the new album), as well as Jack Antonoff (Bleachers) and Skrillex. As we learned from twigs earlier this month, the collab thankfully sees Future in full "emo" mode.
Previously, MAGDALENE was introduced to the world by way of the single "cellophane."
"I never thought heartbreak could be so all-encompassing," FKA twigs said via press release of beginning this fresh creative era. "I never thought my body could stop working to the point that I couldn't express myself physically in the ways that I have always loved and found so much solace. I have always practiced my way into being the best I could be, but I couldn't do that this time. I was left with no option but to tear every process down."
The overall process of bringing MAGDALENE to life, however, ultimately guided her toward a revelation. According to twigs, these songs allowed her "for the first time and in the most real way" to find compassion during a tumultuous period.
"I stopped judging myself and at that moment found hope in MAGDALENE," she said. "To her I am forever grateful."
See the full tracklist for MAGDALENE, which arrives Oct. 25, below. The cover art—seen above—was crafted by frequent FKA twigs collaborator Matthew Stone.
"thousand eyes"
"home with you"
"sad day"
"holy terrain" f/ Future
"mary magdalene"
"fallen alien"
"mirrored heart"
"daybed"
"cellophane"
The album was further detailed in last week's afore-excerpted i-D cover story interview, with the consistent innovator breaking down the text exchange that ultimately resulted in "emo" Future landing on the new nine-tracker.
"It's a really empowering, sensitive record, with a lot of feminine energy, and this song is probably the most fun track on it, but I still need lyrical content," she recalled of how she introduced an early version of the track to the recent Hollywood's Bleeding guest star.
Naturally, Future came through with some top-tier complementary verse additions.
"I love sad Future," she added. Same.
Starting in November, the MAGDALENE experience will be taken on the road. See dates below and plan accordingly.

I tried this for the first time and I love it. My hair is sooooo soft. I have very thick, course hair, and I do all kinds of awful things to it (flat iron, blow dry, bleach). After one use, only one, my hair is incredibly soft. The mask smells fresh and light too. I have already ordered more while it is on sale.

Is social networking influence "recognition"?. Getty Images/Tempura Calculating social networking influence is really a relatively recent area that many people still regard as pseudo-science, but it is quickly just as one important new marketing discipline.
Firms like Klout, Kred, PeerIndex, and Twitalyzer are good examples of the numerous new firms that are attempting to stake out positions as leaders within the race to determine individuals standing or influence in social networking. Each really wants to end up being the defacto standard for ranking social networking influence.
The area is about hearing, monitoring and examining social networking "signals" or actions we take using social networking, mostly so that they can help entrepreneurs identify and achieve probably the most influential people.
Reasons of Calculating Social Networking Influence You will find a lot of reasons social networking influence is attaining importance, especially in the realm of corporate marketing.
One good reason a myriad of start-ups are developing new measurement systems to evaluate social networking influence would be to give companies tools to assist them decide which clients merit the very best service, or which will help them sell probably the most items.
If your customer provides extensive influence in social networking, he or she may both help the organization sell more items or potentially harm a company's status when they get too irked. This is a take a look at some companies specializing in social metrics and social statistics , each of which involve technologies for calculating social networking influence.
Klout is among the pioneers in social media influence metrics. It developed a proprietary formula to evaluate activities people participate in on internet sites along with other social networking, then assigns people a score from 1 to 100, with 100 likely to individuals Klout thinks possess the most influence or clout. Klout's secret formula for scoring influence examines things like the number of comments, posts, likes along with other responses are produced as a result of our very own posts, status updates along with other social networking actions. It depends on Facebook activity. The organization came lots of critique over privacy issues and for its scoring formula, especially after it gave a greater ranking with a celebs like Attacking Young Boys rather than world leaders like Leader Obama. In 2014, about 5 years after it was initially funded, Klout introduced it had been being bought by Lithium Technologies.
PeerIndex began in 1999 and it has grown continuously grown to become strong contender within this growing area. It states measure authority, which is comparable to influence with subtle variations. It computes authority according to subscores for particular subjects. PeerIndex also offers separate activity and audience scores for everybody.
Twitalyzer is foused on calculating affect on the Twitter social texting system. It features a free option but it is limited. Mostly, Twitalyzer is really a premium subscription service that begins at $4.99 monthly and enables you to definitely track and appraise the impact of numerous Twitter accounts.
Kred is really a more recent person in the social influence measurement club. It released this year with another system for calculating our amounts of influence and engagement online.
Traacker is yet another firm that provides reasonably limited influence measurement service it calls "influencer network analysis."
Klout's Lowering Clout Klout started as perhaps the social influence tracker most abundant in influence, partially since it checked out so various sorts of social networking and thus many activities on each, however the company's influence within the area decreased after serveral years.
Klout's formula was designed to check out things like the number of people retweet or resend our messages, and as a result, the quantity of "klout" or influence the folks that we are engaging have themselves.
Klout stirred debate in October 2011 if this refurbished its influence-scoring system. It stated the aim ended up being to increase precision, however, many everyone was upset their Klout score dropped all of a sudden.
Each Klout score includes sub-scores that measure things like: Achieve –The number of people you achieve, as reflected within the connections you are making with others across all social networking monitored by Klout.
Amplification -This can be a way of measuring just how much others respond to your personal activity in social networking.
Network influence –This essentially examines just how much "klout" the folks you are engaging within social networking have.
Do retweeting, resending and "likes" really mean social influence? This is a subject of heated debate, also it really is dependent on which people mean by social influence.
If social influence has been utilized as a indicator or proxy for marketing achieve, then your larger a note is retransmitted, the greater influence it potentially has for marketing reasons. For the reason that sense, these metrics really are a helpful way of measuring social influence.

Sketchfab Launches App-Free AR Support For Enterprise Customers
Sketchfab announced today that they are launching app-free AR support for enterprise customers. This will allow companies to leverage AR to show off their products via a simple new button that can be implemented into an embedded Sketchfab model.
While we've seen many companies implement mobile AR over the last few years, this new offering from Sketchfab is a clean solution that requires no app install on the user's device. Enterprise customers can now provide an AR button on their embedded models, which will use iOS' AR Quick Look feature and Android's Scene Viewer to display the Sketchfab model immediately in AR without the need for any external app installation. You can see a screenshot of an example Sketchfab model displayed in AR below.
On desktop devices, clicking the AR button will show a QR code that will launch straight into the model's AR view when scanned with a phone. The company says the new AR features will work with existing models as well — all 3D models uploaded to Sketchfab are automatically converted to the file formats required for AR in iOS and Android. Companies will be able to check the scale of their AR models, and adjust accordingly, using Sketchfab's 3D editor.
This is a big step for Sketchfab, a platform which recently passed 3 million members. While these features mark an expansion of its AR capabilities at an enterprise level, the Sketchfab platform is also frequently used by the VR community to upload and host 3D models, whether they be captures of real objects or made in VR apps such as Tilt Brush, Quill and the Masterpiece Studio Suite.

Trainer Gai Waterhouse is chasing an eighth Doncaster win with Michael Dee to ride Arbeitsam.
An already memorable season for jockey Michael Dee could get even better when he links with a renowned stable for the first time to chase Doncaster Mile glory on lightweight hope Arbeitsam.
Melbourne-based New Zealander Dee notched his third Group One win of the season when he steered Hiyaam to victory in last Saturday's Vinery Stud Stakes at Rosehill.
Arbeitsam is trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott and is backing up in Saturday's time-honoured Group One Doncaster (1600m) at Randwick after winning the Neville Sellwood Stakes at Rosehill last week.
Waterhouse shares the training record for Doncaster wins with her late father Tommy Smith, and is chasing a record eighth win on Saturday and first in partnership with Bott.
"It's a good opportunity. It will be my first ride for Gai and Adrian," Dee said.
"Obviously he's got 50 kilos which gives this horse a bit of a chance.
"It was a good tough win last week. He went straight to the front as he does.
"I would say that would be the same tactics on Saturday, straight to the front and try to run them off their feet."
The quality field includes Randwick Guineas winner Kementari who is the $3.70 favourite ahead of Happy Clapper ($5) and D'Argento ($7), while Arbeitsam is a $26 chance to cause an upset.
"He'll be there for a long way," Dee said.
"And Gai is the queen of winning the Doncaster. She is going for her eighth Doncaster win on Saturday, so she certainly knows how to win one."
Dee, 21, snared his first Group One win aboard Foundry in The Metropolitan at Randwick last spring before adding the Cantala Stakes at Flemington on Shillelagh.
He said Saturday's win on Hiyaam was extra special because it was in combination with Caulfield trainer Mick Price who Dee was apprenticed to after moving from New Zealand in early 2015.
Dee has a good record in Sydney Group One races, having two wins and two placings from four attempts.
He was second on Oregon's Day in last month's Coolmore Classic while he ran third on Allergic in last season's Metropolitan.
Only Hugh Bowman (7), Craig Williams (4) and Mark Zahra (4) have won more Group Ones in Australia than Dee this season, while three others also have won three.
"Three Group Ones in one season is pretty unreal," Dee said.
"It's a good feat for any jockey, I suppose.
"Hopefully some more come my way."

AMD Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire
AMD Radeon HD 6870 PowerColor 1GB Edition
Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire
Radeon HD 6870 PowerColor 1GB Edition
In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire are very slightly better than the AMD Radeon HD 6870 PowerColor 1GB Edition.
The R7 250 has a 100 MHz higher core clock speed than the HD 6870, but the HD 6870 has 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the R7 250. As a result, the HD 6870 exhibits a 2.4 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the R7 250. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The R7 250 has a 100 MHz higher core clock speed than the HD 6870, but the HD 6870 has 16 more Render Output Units than the R7 250. As a result, the HD 6870 exhibits a 12.8 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the R7 250. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The R7 250 was released over a year more recently than the HD 6870, and so the R7 250 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the HD 6870.
The R7 250 has 1024 MB more video memory than the HD 6870, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the R7 250 also has superior memory performance overall.
The R7 250 has 12.8 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the HD 6870, which means that the memory performance of the R7 250 is slightly better than the HD 6870.
The Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire has 768 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon HD 6870 PowerColor 1GB Edition has 1120. However, the actual shader performance of the R7 250 is 685 and the actual shader performance of the HD 6870 is 504. The R7 250 having 181 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the R7 250 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the HD 6870.
The R7 250 transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the HD 6870. This means that the R7 250 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the HD 6870.
The Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire requires 130 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon HD 6870 PowerColor 1GB Edition. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the R7 250 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the HD 6870. The two GPUs have been recommended a PSU with the same amount of wattage. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.

Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire is a solution of two Radeon R7 250 1GB put together using AMD's Crossfire Technology.
It consists of 2 GPUs Codenamed GCN 1.1 Oland XT which, together, offer 768 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs.
The central unit runs at 1000MHz and goes up to 1050MHz, in Turbo Mode.
Each GPU accesses a 1GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1125MHz.
Power Consumption lies between 125W and 135W.
Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire Offers slightly more Performance than the Higher Positioned Radeon R7 260 but comes at a higher cost and relies highly in proper Driver Support..
Radeon R7 250 1GB Crossfire is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a Performance Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. Radeon HD 6870 PowerColor 1GB Edition is a special edition of the high-end Radeon HD 6870. See its page for more information about it.
It has no new features and so it can be addressed as a renamed Radeon HD 6870. Therefore its performance is exactly like the standard's.

THE GREAT AUK. 25 is six weeks' sail from the penguin-skerries beyond Reykjanes, and one has to sail due south from it twelve weeks to reach Garth in Greenland, which is the Bishop's seat." In the British Museum there are two specimens only of the great Auk, one being the individual obtained by Mr. Bullock, from Papa Westra; the other was purchased at a sale which took place in Holland, about 1861. A specimen is also to he seen in the Newcastle Museum. In old times the Auk must have been common in the Isles of Denmark, for among the Kioekheen-moeddinger, Gr refuse of the kitchens of the early Danish inhabitants, a considerable number of the bones of this bird have been discovered. The only spots which the bird can now frequent are the islets in Breithi-fjord, the north-western friths and skerries, or Grimsey; but, in all probability, it is extinct.

Фердинанд Генріх Е́дмунд Дре́кзель (; 3 вересня 1843, Лейпциг — 22 вересня 1897, Неаполь) — фізіологічний хімік. Був одним із найважливіших представників старої біохімії.

Життєпис
Едмунд Дрекзель народився в Лейпцигу в 1843 році у сім'ї адвоката і нотаріуса Карла Фердинанда Дрекселя з Рудних гір. З 1849 року він відвідував приватну школу Гартмайєра, а з 1855 по 1861 рік — гуманістичну школу Святого Томи в Лейпцигу.

Після закінчення середньої школи він вивчав природничі науки, зокрема хімію, у Отто Лінне Ердмана у Лейпцизькому університеті та у Германа Кольбе у Марбурзькому університеті. Влітку 1861 р. він став учасником хору Лейпцизького університету. У 1864 р. отримав звання доктора наук. Потім працював асистентом Якоба Фольгарда в Університеті Людвіга-Максиміліана в Мюнхені, а з 1865 року — у Германа Кольбе в Лейпцигу. У 1868 році він розпочав свою роботу у свинцевих та срібних фабриках «Гюстав Дюмон та брати» у Скленьо, Бельгія. З 1870 по 1872 р. був помічником Теодора Шерера в гірничій академії Фрайберга.

У 1872 році став асистентом Карла Людвіга та завідувачем хімічного відділу Фізіологічного інституту Лейпцизького університету. 1875 році закінчив габілітацію на філософському факультеті з роботою «Внесок у знання про цианімід» і став приват-доцентом. У 1878 році став доцентом кафедри фізіологічної хімії на медичному факультеті Лейпцизького університету.

З 1892 по 1897 рік він змінив Марселі Ненцького на посаді професора фізіологічної та патологічної хімії та фармакології в Бернському університеті. У 1897 р. залишився для навчання в зоологічній станції Неаполя. 22 він вересня помер.

Науки
Дрекзель зробив важливий внесок у фізіологічну та фізичну хімію.

Він вважається промотором білкової хімії (зокрема відкриття амінокислоти лізину). Проводив лабораторні експерименти з білками і сформулював теорію утворення сечовини з білкових тіл за допомогою карбамової кислоти. Дрекзель відкрив електросинтез змінного струму та описав окислювально-відновні реакції, що спостерігаються на електродах. Досліджував гліколеву кислоту, відновлення вугільної кислоти до щавлевої кислоти і присвятив себе хімії печінки. На честь нього та Вальтера Борше названа циклізація Борша-Дрекселя.

Can dying Desterec be resurrected by China's giant State Grid monopoly
Sneha Shah wrote on 30 Dec, 2013
China,Solar Energy
Can Desertec be revived by China
The Desterec Initiative was launched with much fanfare by Europe's large industrial and energy companies in mid 2000s. It has an ambitious program to supply large parts of Europe's energy from deserts in Africa. It was proposed that giant solar thermal power plants built in the deserts of North Africa would be transmitted to Europe, through DC high voltage transmission lines across the Mediterranean. This would greatly reduce Europe's dependence on oil from the Middle East and gas from Russia. However, this initiative has been paralyzed after solar thermal technology fell greatly behind solar PV. Most solar thermal technology companies like Solar Millenium have gone bankrupt, while others are in a comatose state. Only 2 GW of solar thermal technology capacity is installed around the world, compared to more than 30 GW of solar PV capacity that will be installed in 2013 alone.
Read our analysis why The Desertec Inititative was doomed to Fail.
The massive investments needed to build the solar thermal power plants, the large requirements of water etc. are major hurdles in the expansion of CSP technology. Some of the major German players such as Siemens and Bosch have not only exited the Desertec Initiative, but also solar energy completely. Their operations were unable to compete with the Chinese giant solar manufacturers who have almost completely captured the solar equipment market.
It is perhaps appropriate that a Chinese entity may revive this dying initiative, given the dominant role of China in the solar industry today. Not only is China the biggest supplier of solar energy components, but will also be the world's biggest market this year. China's massive state grid monopoly has joined the initiative. This may revive the dying organization which saw an acrimonious split from the NGO that supported it. There are still huge hurdles in the form of capital, technology, politics that need to be overcome before Desertec can see the light of the day. There have been some solar thermal plants started in North Africa. But Desertec's dream of supplying 20-30% of Europe's power is far-far away. China's state grid can play an important role in financing the state of the art DC transmission backbone from Africa to Europe. This will remove one big hurdle for solar plant developers.

A blend of 80% Cinsault from seventy year old vines and 20% Roussanne from twenty year old vines planted on a garrigue-littered scree in Saint-Mamert-du-Gard. The grapes spend five days on skins, before being pressed off to cuve. The wine has a gorgeous perfume and a very fine texture and at just eleven degrees of alcohol, is remarkably delicate for a wine coming from this part of the world.

Location-based Mobile Music Apps
The Location-Based Mobile Music App Explosion, A Survey by Antony Bruno, Denver :: March 25, 2011 :: thanks to billboard.biz
Adding location awareness to music apps is fast becoming a major mobile trend, as is evident by a rash of new mobile music apps hitting app stores of late.
Use of location technology is taking many forms. Many, if not most, are designed to let users tag a location with a song. The result can be a localized, crowdsourced playlist, add context to the discovery of a new song or even be used as a way to find concerts and live shows. Other apps flip it around a bit by letting users in the same area determine what the venue should play.
Here are some of the apps available today that blend music with location:
SoundTracking lets users check into a location and tag that check-in with whatever song they're listening to at the moment, along with a photo and a comment by the user. That song can then be shared with other SoundTracking users, as well as more broadly via Facebook, Twitter and even Foursquare, offering 30-second samples and links to buy on iTunes.
SuperGlued
The app helps users find concerts in their area and interact with other users at those shows by posting comments, photos, and checking in via Foursquare. Users can see which friends also using the app are planning to attend what concerts. It also recommends shows based on user activity, provides links to buy tickets, and so on. Recently, it began holding contests for participating artists, asking fans to do things like post videos of themselves singing to a band's sontg on YouTube, or review the show, etc.
Herd.fm
Designed to let artists, labels and publishers tag their songs (or "traks") to certain locations, where other Herd.fm users can then listen to it when checking in. Users can also tag a location with a song, but only from a list of songs included in the app, by joining the participating artist's "Herd," or followers. Users discovering new songs via the app can also view artists profiles, see a map of where that artist's songs have been dropped by other users, and get information on promotions and new content. All songs can be streamed on-demand.
Soundtrckr:
Creates localized playlists based on songs users tag to a given location. Rather than streaming on-demand, the app randomizes the songs much like an Internet radio service. Those playlists can be shared with other users worldwide. Users can also see what playlists others nearby have created and tagged to the same location.
Loudie:
Music-based social network designed to let users see what people are saying at concerts around the country in real time. Users can check into shows, find other shows in their area, invite friends to join them at concerts, add concerts to their calendar, buy tickets, read news, and send personalized messages to other users.
Spotisquare:
lets users attach a Spotify playlist to a Foursquare venue. Other users checking into the venue can add their own songs to the playlist, essentially crowdsourcing the venue's unique song list. It requires a premium Spotify account (where that service is active) as well as a Foursquare account.
Roqbot:
With a venue participating, the app lets users chose the playlist at a local bar by voting on what song plays next. The venue owner selects a list of songs for patrons to choose from, and then puts the control into their hands. Users purchase which song they want to hear next (like a jukebox) and others rate them to determine the order of play. Users can share the songs they chose via Facebook and Twitter, and can earn badges through certain accomplishments. The app won the music portion of the SXSW BizSpark Accelerator contest.

Tanto su padre como su madre eran soberanos de dos estados alemanes. Con las tropas de Nassau, estuvo envuelto del lado de la Séptima Coalición en la Batalla de Waterloo contra Napoleón.

El 9 de enero de 1816 sucedió a su padre, el duque Federico Guillermo, como príncipe de Nassau-Weilburg y como duque de Nassau conjuntamente con su primo, Federico Augusto de Nassau, de la rama de Nassau-Usingen de su familia. Cuando su primo y co-duque murió el 24 de marzo de 1816, Guillermo heredó los territorios de Usingen y se convirtió en el único gobernante del ducado de Nassau, que incluía el condado mediatizado de su madre Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hachenburg. Mantuvo el título de duque de Nassau durante el resto de su reinado.

Matrimonios y descendencia
El 24 de junio de 1813, Guillermo contrajo matrimonio en Weilburg con su primera esposa, la Princesa Luisa de Sajonia-Hildburghausen (Hildburghausen, Turingia, 28 de enero de 1794-Biebrich o Weilburg, 6 de abril de 1825), la hija del Duque Federico de Sajonia-Altenburgo (quien, hasta 1826, había sido el último Duque de Sajonia-Hildburghausen) y su esposa, la Duquesa Carlota Georgina de Mecklemburgo-Strelitz.

Su nieto fue el General zarista y Gran Duque Nicolás Nicolaiévich de Rusia el Joven

Su hija Isabel se casó con el rey Carol I de Rumanía.

Guillermo contrajo matrimonio por segunda vez con la sobrina de su primera esposa, la Princesa Paulina de Wurtemberg (Stuttgart, 25 de febrero de 1810-Wiesbaden, 7 de julio de 1856) el 23 de abril de 1829 en Stuttgart. Paulina era la hija del Príncipe Pablo de Wurtemberg y su esposa Carlota de Sajonia-Hildburghausen.

Q: XPath that finds elements with less than 100 characters I have some XML like this:
<div>
    <sp>
        <speaker>Flores</speaker>
        <l part="y-ns" rend="ws-3">Es muchacho,<ref n="2" /> no te asombre.</l>

        <milestone type="new-stanza" />
        <l part="y-ne"> de Comendador Mayor?</l>
    </sp>
</div>

I want to find the l elements whose text is less than 50 characters. I think the problems are like like the first l, where there is some element in the middle. I tried to concatenate the strings, but I wasn't able to do it right. I have already tried this XPaths:
//l[string-length(./text())< 50]
//l[string-length(.//string(.)) < 50]
//l[string-length(concat(.//text())) < 100]

None works, that is why I came here :) Any idea?

A: Put point as string-length argument to use text of current l tag
//l[string-length(.) < 100]

Blue sky and sunshine – a great day for the next leg of the journey. Down to Hội An to meet friends that have rented a big house.
The actual site where the fight took place. Now farmers dry their harvest here and the rest of the former base is farm land.
You guess the purpose of the Guess House!
Later it started to poor like hell and I drove down the QL14E. It got quite cold and the rain killed my iPhone as well. Nothing looks nice enough to take pictures off when it rains that hard. At last not when you going places on a motorbike. So that is it for today!


He said it wasn't until 2010 or 2012 that his heart changed.
Mr. Christian does not claim that he has been cured. He said he never ran afoul of his jobs with his gambling problem and never lost his love for his family.
He said he has simply reached a point in life where he sees gambling is not worth the private agony he endured over and over again to be a high roller and losing at every turn. He has more important things to do these days, he said, like doting on his grandchildren.
His book provided him a chance to unload his personal tick-tock story about living as a gambling addict, of running huge charge tickets called "markers" at hotels from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, while living large in complimentary luxury hotel suites while gambling and often times dining with the rich and famous.
Sprinkled within the sad saga of never-ending excitement were spicy nuggets about his experiences as a national television figure and meeting American presidents, baseball legend Duke Snider and boxing legend Muhammad Ali. His only freedom from his addiction, it seems, was behind the television screen and talking weather. He gives praise to his parents, church pastor, schoolteachers and siblings.
In writing about his life, Mr. Christian notes he had befriended businessman Donald Trump long before President Trump existed. Mr. Trump, then owner of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, had invited Mr. Christian to interview him on "Good Morning America" about the championship boxing match that night in 1987 at the casino between Mike Tyson and Tyrell Biggs. The two gained such a rapport that in 1993, he noted, Mr. Trump approached him about co-hosting a cable television talk show with Mr. Trump's wife at the time, Marla Maples.
Then in the mid-1990s as he suffered a "series of severe losses and my financial house of cards was on the verge of collapse," Mr. Christian faxed Mr. Trump a letter requesting a loan to pay off his casino debts.
He said Mr. Trump suggested he go to the casino and tell the cashier that Mr. Trump had authorized him to ask for a loan.
"I decided I knew it wouldn't work," Mr. Christian said, adding that he knew from past experiences that getting a loan from a casino required many layers of approval, some signed paperwork and many people's say so. He said that was "the last connection" he had with Mr. Trump.
Mr. Christian doesn't know if former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, who has family roots in Charles City County, knew the full story about his gambling addiction before Gov. Wilder and others were sent a manuscript of the book to write cover comments. If Gov. Wilder and the others were angered, upset or disappointed by him, they didn't tell him, nor did they retract their endorsement promises, Mr. Christian said.
So far, his book has sold fewer than 5,000 copies, Mr. Christian said, adding he didn't write the book hoping to make a lot of money on his story. He said he wanted people to understand what his life was about and learn from it.
While Mr. Christian acknowledges that many people throughout the Metro Richmond area remember him from his childhood and early career in Virginia, he said he has always benefited from the seemingly never-ending love of his family and admiration from longtime friends and supporters. He said he's one lucky guy.
On a trip last year to historic Westover Plantation in Charles City County to introduce his book, Mr. Christian said more than 50 people turned out to see him and get his book autographed. No one had any discouraging things to say, he said.

What is a list of these teams doing here?
2K is blowing the doors off... These teams have been confirmed as playable teams in 2K11's NBA game this year. They will be part of a Jordan "be a pro" like feature in the game. There is rumor of more coming out. I'd like to see them go a little further back in time and add more teams from the 80s. It is pretty amazing that the 86 Celtics are on here. They are quite possibly the best team in NBA history. Man, and the "Bad Boys"? and Riley's Knicks? Could it be Starks, Ewing, Oakley, Mason teaming up again? Those guys loved being Knicks. Talk about a trip down memory lane. That team played with more heart then any other in NBA history. That's right.
This falls in line with more teams the better theory that I have. Classic teams is a start, but I'd like to see the inclusion of the NBA's D league and international leagues as well. I'll say it again, EA's FIFA has it right with all the teams and leagues. MLB 10: The Show gets it too with AAA and AA ball. Madden is falling behind here. Football may be limited because it is mainly and American thing, but why not just include NCAA with the NFL? Why make it a different franchise? Okay, that may be a bit much.

Widespread outrage after ISIS bulldozes ancient Iraq city of Nimrud
https://str.sg/3m6s
BAGHDAD (AFP) - Condemnation poured in Friday of the ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) group's bulldozing of the ancient city of Nimrud, the extremists' latest attack on Iraqi cultural treasures that the UN termed a "war crime".
After rampaging through Mosul's museum with sledgehammers and torching its library last month, ISIS "bulldozed" the nearby ruins of Nimrud Thursday, the tourism and antiquities ministry said.
Antiquities officials said ISIS militants had moved trucks last week to the site overlooking the Tigris River, 30 kilometres southeast of their main hub of Mosul.
"Until now, we do not know to what extent it was destroyed," one official said.
Nimrud was the latest victim of what appears to be a systematic campaign by the extremists to obliterate Iraq's rich heritage.
"I'm really devastated. But it was just a matter of time, now we're waiting for the video. It's sad," Abdulamir Hamdani, an Iraqi archaeologist from Stony Brook University in New York, said of the propaganda film of the destruction that ISIS is likely to release.
Nimrud was founded in the 13th century BC and was considered the jewel of the Assyrian era.
Its stunning reliefs and colossal statues of winged bulls with human heads guarding palace gates filled the world's museums in the 19th century.
A collection of 613 pieces of gold jewellery, ornaments and precious stones discovered in a royal tomb in 1988 has been described as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century.
"Their plan is to destroy Iraqi heritage, one site at a time," said Hamdani.
"Hatra of course will be next," he added, referring to a 2,000-year-old UNESCO-listed site about 100 kilometres south of Mosul known for its beautifully preserved temples blending Hellenistic, Roman and Eastern influences.
Irina Bokova, the head of the UN's cultural body UNESCO, condemned the destruction of Nimrud "with the strongest force".
"We cannot stay silent. The deliberate destruction of cultural heritage constitutes a war crime, and I call on all political and religious leaders in the region to stand up against this new barbarity," she said Friday.
UNESCO has called for tougher action to protect the many heritage sites in one of the cradles of civilisation, but little can be done in areas under extremist control.
The destruction was met with condemnation and sadness on Baghdad's Mutanabi Street, a favourite haunt of Iraqi intellectuals.
"After they killed the human spirit, they began killing civilisation," Ibrahim Dawood, a writer and poet, said of ISIS.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's top Shiite cleric who is revered by millions, sharply criticised ISIS' targeting of the Mosul museum and archaeological sites.
It demonstrates "their savagery and their barbarism and their hostility to the Iraqi people", Sistani's representative said on his behalf at weekly Friday prayers in Karbala.
ISIS tries to justify the destruction by saying the statues are idolatrous, but experts say the extremists traffic antiquities to fund their self-proclaimed "caliphate" and destroy only those pieces that are too bulky to be smuggled.
Stuart Gibson, a UNESCO expert on museums, said pressure from the international community would have little effect on ISIS.
"We have also traditionally called upon the peoples of the region to recognise the irreplaceable value and cultural necessity in protecting their cultural heritage," he said.
"Unfortunately today the people in the region are exhausted and terrified. The remainder of us can only stand on the outside looking on in absolute despair."
ISIS still controls large parts of northern and western Iraq, but has been losing ground under mounting military pressure from Iraqi federal and Kurdish forces backed by a US-led coalition and by Iran.
Baghdad launched a huge offensive Monday to retake the city of Tikrit, in what commanders have said was a stepping stone toward an even larger operation to free Mosul.
Since they swept through Iraq's Sunni heartland last June, ISIS militants have destroyed a long list of religious and heritage sites, including churches and Sunni shrines.
Most of Nimrud's priceless artefacts had long been moved to museums, in Mosul, Baghdad, Paris, London and elsewhere, but some giant "lamassu" statues of winged bulls and reliefs were still on site.
"My guess is that what they destroyed was probably the modern reconstruction of the palace walls" dating back to the 1960s, said Eleanor Robson, professor of ancient near eastern history at University College London, while still unequivocally condemning the attack.
"So it's probably not as horrendous as it sounds," she said. "There's a lot more underneath."
