A wide net of recycling companies exists in the United Kingdom. They process different waste materials, among which scrap metal recycling occupies one of the leading positions in terms of scales and money turnover. It is crucial for country's economy to get recycled as much scrap metal as possible, so that to make its metal industry more profitable and reduce environmental impacts. Special governmental legislation and organizations on scrap recycling and trading have been created to serve this purpose.
Waste recycling is a well-developed industry in the United Kingdom. Up to 50% of all waste materials are recycled in the country. Materials and sources for recycling are numerous. Plastic, glass, cartons and paper represent a very short list of waste materials being recycled in Britain. In the United Kingdom mainly statutory authorities are in charge of waste recycling and the scales of recycling vary regionally according to the extent of recycling infrastructure development. Metal scrap is one of the most productive businesses in terms of recycling. It processes metal items coming from different sources, such as food industry, machinery engineering, aircraft, plumbing, household items and so on. But unlike recycling of other waste, metal scrap is typically recycled by privately owned recycling enterprises as well as big smelting plants, with a wide range of scrap collectors.
Metal recycling in the United Kingdom is a lucrative industry with more than five and a half billion money turnover. It is an integral sector of metal industry in Britain as a whole, as well an essential part of country's economy, as it employs around 8 thousand workers. Scrap recycling industry makes a net contribution to UK balance of trade.
Metal recycling industry falls into two main directions. They are recycling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The former processes the most wide-spread types of scrap on large scale, whereas the latter deals with smaller quantities of more expensive scrap metals.
Ferrous metals encompass iron and all its alloy combinations, including steel, the most recyclable material in world. Ferrous metals are quite cheap and are suitable for most types of constructing and building purposes, as well as for machinery engineering. They are quite easy to detect by using magnet.
The main sources for ferrous metals are scrap vehicles, pipes, farming and household equipment, etc. Ferrous metals are recycled without any changes of their properties. Ferrous scrap items are collected by scrap yards, where they are sorted, dissected, pressed for further melting. Then metal undergoes refinery process, during which it obtains necessary qualities by adding or extracting some components.
The process non-ferrous metal recycling is a bit more complicated. It is stipulated by the fact, that there are a great number of non-ferrous metals, including rare ones, which must be sorted and recycled separately, unlike the ferrous metals. Copper, aluminum, lead, titanium, nickel, cobalt, tungsten and other metal scrap is assessed and valued according to its purity and quality. Each metal has its own peculiarities, which must be taken into account. These qualities are the following: melting temperature, final products metal is designated to, poisoning and contaminating hazards. Consequently, non-ferrous metals are more expensive as final products and scrap items.
Metal recycling is efficient for a number of reasons. It is considerably less energy consumptive. In the United Kingdom strict energy producing requirements are introduced, so metal industry is put under a lot of pressure dealing with nearly the highest energy costs in the world. By reducing energy consumption metal scrap recycling contributes both to cost effectiveness of metal production and to reducing of environmental impacts, such as carbon dioxide emissions and fresh water consumption. Energy savings due to steel recycling in the United Kingdom amount to about 60-70% as compared to production of raw materials, and aluminum scrap saves up to 95% of energy required for conventional aluminum smelting.
Another positive factor of metal recycling is reducing of raw material consumption. The less ore is mined, the more deposits and natural wildlife habitats remain intact.
Despite all advantages of metal recycling, there are some risks concerning poisoning and contaminating while processing some scrap metals. Furthermore, some deplorable accidents took place at scrapyards and recyclers. Consequently, there are some safety arrangements to be followed by scrap recyclers; furthermore, only professionals with appropriate training should be involved into the process of metal scrap recycling.
Scrap trading and recycling is a developing industry, encompassing more than 1500 enterprises. Thus, in order to make metal recycling industry transparent and safe, a system of legislative measures is represented in the United Kingdom. The initial Scrap Metal Dealers Act 1964 was reviewed and renewed. The main points of the Scrap metal Act 2013 forbid metal scrap trading for cash in the United Kingdom. Electronic payments and checks are the only ways to pay for scrap for big collecting companies, whereas mobile or so called itinerant scrap collectors are relieved from taking records of the scrap purchases, as well as from cash ban. Although, they still need to obtain license for their business from local authorities. Besides, there exist organizations aimed at providing assistance for scrap dealers and recyclers. The biggest one is the British Metal Recycling Organization, representing its 340 members at domestic and global market. The British Scrap Metal Portal provides support in scrap trading for all interested.
British Metal Recycling Organization is a trading organization representing over 300 businesses operating around the United Kingdom in recycling sector. It was founded in 2001 and is based in Cambridgeshire, England.

Obama Administration Launches First Federal Electric Vehicle Pilot
President Obama issued a presidential memorandum on May 24 that directed federal agencies to implement fuel-efficient and innovative fleet management practices. In conjunction with the memorandum, the General Services Administration (GSA) launched a pilot project to incorporate electric vehicles (EV) and technologies into the federal fleet. GSA also announced its initial purchase of more than 100 EVs, which DOE and other agencies will lease. These steps move the U.S. government closer to meeting the goals set by the president's 2009 executive order requiring the federal government to purchase only alternative fuel vehicles by 2015 and to cut petroleum use 30% by 2020.
In the memorandum, the president specifically directed agencies to determine optimal fleet size and provide recommendations for adding alternative fuel vehicles. The memorandum also requires agencies to establish a goal for the size and composition of the federal fleet as well as a plan to achieve this target by 2015. In creating the EV pilot, GSA conducted a bid competition among vendors and awarded contracts for Chevrolet, Nissan, and Think City vehicles. As the pilot program continues, other companies may bid to become eligible for future purchases.
As part of the effort, DOE is helping to lead the way by expanding its use of hybrids while reducing its fleet overall. In addition to reducing the use of petroleum in its own vehicles, the department is also working closely with the private sector to transition commercial fleets to alternative, fuel-efficient technologies. Under the National Clean Fleets Partnership, DOE is helping companies to reduce diesel and gasoline use in their fleets.More info at http://solarserdar.blogspot.com.
DOE Partners in New Education Initiative to Promote Energy Efficiency
DOE and the U.S. Department of Education joined with the National Science Teachers Association on May 24 to launch America's Home Energy Education Challenge, a new energy education initiative. The goal is to motivate students across the country to learn about energy efficiency and to help their families save money.
Part of the overall challenge will be the Home Energy Challenge, a competition this fall allowing school teams to use energy efficiency activities that reduce energy use in their homes. Teams will be asked to measure their energy consumption during a three-month period and compare it to data from the same period the year before. The exercise will allow students to track whether they reduced their energy use. Participating schools can compete for more than $200,000 in prizes.
The second part of the overall challenge will be the Energy Fitness Award. Modeled after the President's Physical Fitness award, the fitness award will encourage students to better understand basic energy issues, including the connection between energy use and energy bills. Winners will be named on a school-by-school basis, with a math or science teacher directing each contest.More info at http://solarserdar.blogspot.com.
EPA, DOT Unveil the Next Generation of Fuel Economy Labels
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled on May 25 new fuel economy labels for vehicles. The newest versions provide more comprehensive fuel efficiency information, including estimated annual fuel costs, savings, as well as information on each vehicle's environmental impact. Starting with model year 2013, the fuel economy labels will be required on all new passenger cars and trucks, both conventional gasoline-powered and next generation cars such as plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. Automakers may also voluntarily adopt the new labels earlier for model year 2012 vehicles.
For the first time, the labels will provide an estimate of how much fuel or electricity it takes to drive 100 miles. They also provide ways to compare energy use and cost between new-technology cars that use electricity and conventional cars that are gasoline-powered.
In July, the Obama Administration plans to finalize the first-ever national fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards for commercial trucks, vans, and buses built between 2014 and 2018. These standards are expected to save hundreds of millions of barrels of oil over the life of the vehicles covered and promote the development and deployment of alternative fuels, including natural gas.More info at http://solarserdar.blogspot.com.
ARPA-E, Stanford University Explore Hows and Whys of Energy Use
The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is known for sponsoring high-risk, high-reward ideas on the cutting edge of energy research and development, such as a novel manufacturing process that that will reduce the cost of solar panels by 50%, battery technology that will allow energy storage for multiple hours on the power grid, and biofuels without photosynthesis. But, one ARPA-E project is a little bit different from the rest—rather than working toward a specific technological breakthrough, researchers at Stanford University's H-STAR Institute are seeking a breakthrough on the behavioral side of energy use. In other words, how do people make decisions about energy? What compels their behavior? And, how can energy be used more efficiently without adversely affecting peoples' lifestyles?
Stanford's team—comprised of researchers from communications, engineering, economics, psychology, medicine, and computer science—is combining behavioral approaches, product design, computation, and technology to encourage people to be more energy efficient at home, with a long-term goal of reducing average residential energy use by over 20%.More info at http://solarserdar.blogspot.com.
How the Recovery Act and Community Organizing are Saving Major Cash for San Mateo County Residents
Obtaining a home energy upgrade is becoming increasingly affordable in California, thanks to an array of financial incentives and rebates. In fact, residents in the San Mateo County can take advantage of up to $4,000 per household, made available through the California Energy Commission's Department of Energy's State Energy Program. San Mateo County has also used nearly $110,000 from DOE's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program to get the word out about these rebates through local governments and non-profits. These partners are then educating and engaging specific populations at the local level, a strategy known as community-based social marketing.
With this and other outreach strategies coordinated by the Energy Upgrade San Mateo Program, the county expects to upgrade 750 homes, create 150 new jobs, and reduce home energy use by an estimated 35 billion Btu.More info at http://solarserdar.blogspot.com.
U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011 House Design Places People, Outdoors at its Heart
New Zealand is the first place morning light hits at the start of each new day—and, now it is home to the first team from the Southern Hemisphere ever to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon competition. The team, comprised of students and faculty from Victoria University of Wellington, have looked to revamp an iconic symbol of New Zealand's beach holiday lifestyle—the modest coastal "Kiwi bach."
Dotting New Zealand's coastline are thousands of cherished summer homes called bach (pronounced batch). Traditionally small and spare, these homes were made for summertime on the beach, where life takes place as much outside as it does inside. By incorporating energy efficient design strategies to keep energy consumption at a minimum, the team hopes to redefine what the bach symbolizes not only as the ideal way to enjoy summers but also as a model of sustainable home design.More info at http://solarserdar.blogspot.com.

The Rolex Trophy was a golf tournament on the Challenge Tour, that is played in Geneva, Switzerland. It was played annually on the Challenge Tour since 1989.

Unlike many Challenge Tour events, the Rolex Trophy has been played at the same venue, the Golf Club de Genève, every year.

It is a limited field Pro-Am event.  It used to feature the top 32 in the tour rankings plus four invitees, but the number of players has more recently been 42.  One unusual feature was that only the prize money of the top 20 players counted towards their Challenge Tour rankings, although all entrants receive prize money.

The Estate Agency Affairs Board (EAAB) has noted various media reports attributed to the organisation claiming that there were about 50 000 illegal estate agents practising.
The EAAB wishes to place it on record that these figures attributed to it are incorrect and has at no stage made such claims. These figures seem to emanate from a statement issued by PrivySeal which had unfortunately not been requested, nor had this information been verified with the Board.
Neither were remarks attributed by Ms Margie Campbell ever made as alluded to by PrivySeal in their statement.
People often ask what the difference is between a homeowners' association (HOA) and a Body Corporate – or if they are similar.
Auren Freitas Dos Santos, legal and compliance officer and property manager for Pam Golding Property Management Services explains: "An HOA and a Body Corporate are certainly not the same. A Body Corporate is a legal entity created in terms of the Sectional Titles Act and managed in terms of the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act. The fundamental principal behind a Body Corporate is the division of a property into parts that are exclusively owned by individual owners and other parts that are jointly owned in undivided shares, referred to as common property. The functions of a Body Corporate are strictly defined in terms of Section 3 of the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act.
"An HOA on the other hand is not created in terms of any specific national legislation and the common property is usually transferred to and registered in the name of the HOA which exists as a legal entity separate from its members, none of whom shall in their personal capacities have any right, title or interest to or in the property, funds or assets of the HOA.
Purchasing a new house could soon be a completely electronic process, end-to-end. At least that's what the NSW government wants to see.
NSW has released a discussion paper for public feedback on a range of proposals that it says would simplify the property transaction process.
"The paper aims to identify all obstacles that prevent electronic transactions relating to land and that place any uncertainty or confusion around the validity of a land transaction," it said.

Kathy Griffin Movie 'A Hell of a Story' Gets Theatrical Release (EXCLUSIVE)
Ramin Setoodeh, Variety
"Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story," a documentary comedy from the star comedian, has sold to Brainstorm Media for a special theatrical release this summer, Variety has learned.
The movie will play in U.S. theaters on July 31, for a one-night special event. Fathom Events is a partner on the deal, and Griffin will join audiences for a live Q&A following the film.
"A Hell of a Story," which is directed by Troy Miller, premiered at SXSW in March to strong reviews. The film takes place at the end of Griffin's recent "Laugh Your Head Off" tour, where she discusses the fallout from a controversial 2017 photograph where she posed with a fake severed head that looks like it belonged to Donald Trump.
As a result of the picture, which Griffin meant as a joke, she was blacklisted by Hollywood. She stopped getting job offers in movies and TV. And even worse, she underwent lengthy federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Secret Service on suspicion of conspiracy to assassinate the president.
Griffin self-financed and produced the film herself. The theatrical version of the film is a different cut than what audiences saw at SXSW. It include documentary footage interspersed with her onstage comedy.
"I am so excited to be announcing my first-ever theatrical release," said Griffin in a statement. "I'm honored to be given the opportunity to showcase my comedy and the raw behind-the-scenes-footage of the last two years. The film pulls back the curtain for a gritty, unapologetic look at this era of cultural chaos and Trumpism. You're going to hear things in this film you've never heard before—and it's funny as hell."

In her fine Transition Year Extended Essay, Iyobosa Bello-Asemota examined four books dealing with love - The Forgotten Legion by Ben Kane, A Voice in The Wind by Francine Rivers, The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (original), and The Phantom of the Opera by Kate McMullan (revised edition).
"Having spent so much time writing an essay with its focus on love, I finally feel as though I now have a better grasp on what it truly means to love something or someone. I now understand what motivates people to do things onlookers would regard as irrational, things that they normally would not have the strength or courage to do. I also understand why some would look upon the notion of love or being in love with disdain or would regard rash acts born of this love, to be foolish. While I do not hope to justify the evil acts people do in the name of love, regardless of whatever form it manifests in, I must admit that love's influence is as wide and as deep as any ocean."

In the general population, does the use of a nonfluoride caries preventive agent reduce incidence, arrest or reverse caries?
In individuals at higher caries risk, does the use of a nonfluoride caries preventive agent reduce incidence, arrest or reverse caries?
They searched MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library from 1966 through April 9, 2010 and identified 2697 articles. 71 articles describing 50 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 15 non-randomized studies were included.
.. that certain non-fluoride agents may provide some benefit as adjunctive therapies in children and adults who are at higher risk of experiencing caries. The panel found at least 10 ongoing clinical trials that may in the future provide additional evidence for or against the effectiveness of many of these modalities. Therefore, on the basis of available evidence, the panel recommended sucrose-free chewing gum (containing either only or polyol combinations) or xylitol lozenges for caries prevention. In addition, the panel found that a 1:1 mixture of chlorhexidine/thymol varnish may be efficacious in the prevention of root caries. The panel will update its recommendations when information from ongoing clinical trials becomes available.

THE Foodie Affair on Brač: Biser Mora Brings Together Over 200 Chefs from 25 Countries
By Daniela Rogulj 9 April 2017
The 12th International Culinary Festival "Biser Mora" (or Pearl of the Sea) was held over the weekend in the seaside town of Supetar on the island of Brač. TCN was on the scene to imbibe, indulge, and enjoy.
The island of Brač hosted the 12th Biser Mora culinary festival over the weekend, kicking off the island's tourist season on a high note. The prestigious culinary competition was held from April 6th to April 9th and brought together more than 200 chefs from 25 countries.
A culinary affair that attracted over 1,000 visitors, journalists, and foodies, the now quiet town of Supetar was transformed into a thriving gastro-center - and the Waterman Svpetrvs Resort made the perfect host for this excited group of bon vivants.
Organized by SKMER - Association of Chefs from Mediterranean and European regions - Biser Mora is profiled as the most important competition of chefs in the Mediterranean. The festival is even rated as a first-class gastronomic and tourist event in Croatia.

This year, chefs from France, the U.K., Poland, Albania, India, Denmark, Georgia, Mauritius, Italy, and Montenegro competed over three days in eight parallel kitchens. A record number of schools joined the competition this year as well, and the new competition for seniors proved to be a big hit.
Some of the chefs' creations during the event
TCN even got the chance to speak with Domenico Maggi, president of the World Association of Chefs' Societies, who stressed the importance of uniting the chefs from the Mediterranean countries.
"A chef without good ingredients cannot make good food, and we are very lucky to live in the Mediterranean region. Food is the story of people, food contains tradition. Whenever I travel around the world I only eat the local specialties.
We organize competitions because it is a moment where we can bring our creativity and experiences and take in others. At competitions, we are able to meet many culinary colleagues and friends from different areas of the world and bring home so many ideas. This is the way to grow in our profession," Maggi expressed.
Domenico Maggi with journalists from TCN, Bussiness.in, Gastronaut, Nacional, and 24 Sata.
Maggi also emphasized the importance of culinary education, and how gastronomy is crucial for tourism.
"We need to educate our young chefs to see the passion behind cooking and we need to motivate the young people to see this profession as amazing. To see that we can give emotion to our guests through food is something that is so important. We need to teach our students different languages, cultures - tourism is very important for our economy, and we need to give the best welcome for our tourists," Maggi concluded.
Biser Mora created a culinary sanctuary for the exchanging of knowledge and skills, and as expected it was the place to be for networking. The program was full of masterclasses, cooking shows, and lots of tastings, and each evening hosted a different themed dinner - from traditional Dalmatian cuisine to Albanian, and Brač specialties.

And desserts, of course...
But now, for the big announcement - Who was awarded the best chef in the region at Biser Mora?
A decision made by the international jury, Croatian Jadran Grančić won the gold!
A firm believer in a cooking concept that emphasizes only using ingredients that are available within 60 kilometers, this young Imotski chef has an impressive new title under his belt.
"My culinary philosophy is to work only with local ingredients. In other words, I will not serve truffles in Dalmatia, and I will only work with local foods that can be found within 60 kilometers of my kitchen. Here, I cook in the Podgora hotel Medora Auri and stick to the local and authentic cuisine, but with modern techniques and ways of serving," said the winner.
Gogi Bazandarashvili from Georgia won silver, and Marc Pavel from Italy came in third.
Bravo, Biser Mora, for a truly wonderful (and tasty) experience. For all of the details from the event, you can find the full program here.

Here's How Much Each Coronavirus Vaccine Will Cost
There's a wide variance in per-dose cost for the four most-advanced COVID-19 vaccine candidates.

You'll often find him writing about Obamacare, marijuana, drug and device development, Social Security, taxes, retirement issues and general macroeconomic topics of interest. Follow @TMFUltraLong
The so-called "V-Day" (Vaccine Day) has finally arrived. Following months of development and testing, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the very first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine for emergency use authorization (EUA) late last week, paving the way for the first round of inoculations, which began on Monday, Dec. 14.
Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) and BioNTech's (NASDAQ:BNTX) vaccine, BNT162b2, was the first to get the green light from the FDA for emergency use, with Moderna's (NASDAQ:MRNA) mRNA-1273 expected to follow within the next week, or possibly sooner.
Now that COVID-19 vaccines are finally rolling out, Americans can turn to the next most pressing question: How much will they cost?
While President-Elect Joe Biden has proposed making coronavirus vaccines free for Americans, the actual cost to the federal government will vary pretty dramatically between vaccine candidates. Let's take a closer look at the cost variances of the four late-stage or EUA-approved players.
Pfizer/BioNTech
The first vaccine to get EUA from the FDA will have a cost per dose of $19.50. That's derived from selling 100 million doses to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for $1.95 billion. Since BNT162b2 is given in two doses multiple weeks apart, we're talking about a $39 total cost for treatment.
Al told, $39 seems like a bargain for a vaccine that delivered 95% vaccine effectiveness (VE) in late-stage clinical trials. At the moment, a 95% VE sits head and shoulders above all other vaccine developers.
Perhaps the biggest concern for this promising COVID-19 vaccine is getting it to consumers. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine needs to be kept at ultra-cold temperatures during transport to remain stable (close to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit). While there are solutions being implemented, such as the use of dry ice during transport, the logistical challenges of BNT162b2 have opened the door for other COVID-19 vaccine candidates to eventually take market share.
Moderna's coronavirus vaccine is also quite promising -- and relatively costly, when compared to its peers. According to CEO Stephane Bancel, Moderna is planning to charge between $25 and $37 per dose of mRNA-1273, depending on how much of the product is purchased at a given time. The more that's bought, presumably, the lower the per-dose cost. Since this is also a two-dose treatment, the full cost of Moderna's vaccine ranges from $50 to $74.
If you're wondering why consumers or countries might choose Moderna over its rivals, look to both VE and safety. Moderna's vaccine produced a nearly identical VE of 94.1% in the late-stage COVE trial. Perhaps even more important, grade 3 adverse events were minimal, potential giving Moderna a one-up over Pfizer/BioNTech in the safety department.
Moderna's mRNA-1273 is expected to receive a vote from the FDA's advisory panel on Dec. 17. If all goes well, it could receive EUA and begin distribution shortly thereafter.
AstraZeneca/Oxford
Another vaccine candidate in the mix is AZD1222, which was developed by Big Pharma AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN) and Oxford University. AstraZeneca has made the decision to supply its vaccine at cost (i.e., without generating a profit). This implies a per-dose cost of between $3 and $4, with a grand total expenses of $6 to $8.
With a cost that's well below its peers, you'd think the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine would see plenty of demand. However, that's not a given following the release of late-stage VE data on AZD1222. One arm of the trial provided a VE of 62% for patients receiving two full doses at least one month apart. Another arm, which involved an initial half dose followed by a full dose at least a month later, led to a 90% VE. The difference in VE between the cohort with two full doses and the cohort with an initial half dose has left the scientific community a bit baffled.
On a combined basis, AZD1222 achieved a VE of 70%. That's still better than the average effectiveness of an influenza vaccine (typically 50% to 60%), but it pales in comparison to the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.
Finally, there's JNJ-78436735, which is being developed by the largest healthcare stock by market cap in the U.S., Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). In August, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority agreed to buy 100 million doses of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine for "over $1 billion." This works out to perhaps $10, or just a smidge over, per dose.
Phase 1/2a clinical trial results from October for JNJ-78436735 showed detectable levels of antibodies in 99% of trial participants, with 98% of participants positive for neutralizing antibodies. Johnson & Johnson anticipates reporting its phase 3 trial results in January, but will lag the other three developers in potentially launching its vaccine.
However, J&J has one big advantage over its peers: Its vaccine is only administered in a single dose. If Johnson & Johnson's late-stage trial were to produce a VE that's somewhat similar to Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, there's little question that its total cost and the convenience of a single shot would vault it to front-runner status.
It's going to be an interesting next couple of months, to say the least.

Q: Is this the simplest and most flexible solution to vertically aligning text within a block element? I could be the first person to discover this (or at least document it on the web):
HTML:

Vertically Aligned Text

CSS:
div
{
    height: 100px; /* or whatever % etc. */
}

div > span
{
    display: inline-block;
    visibility: hidden;
    height: 100%;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

It works because the code increases the line-height to 100% of its container, but I don't understand why setting vertical-align: middle; on the  affects the text.
I have not found this solution documented on the web, and it is simpler and more flexible than others that I have found. Plus it should work on all browsers from IE6 onwards (obviously replacing the child selector with something else).
To fit the question requirement, is this the simplest and most flexible solution to an age-old question?

A: I find using the CSS display attribute table-cell the easiest method.
See this jsFiddle
And the CSS:
div
{
    height:100px; /* or whatever % etc. */
    border: solid 1px black;
    vertical-align : middle;
    display : table-cell;
}

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a constantly moving field. On the one hand, changes in computing technologies extend their possible uses and modify the conditions of existing ones. On the other hand, users adapt to new technologies and adapt them to their own needs. Various problems and opportunities regularly stem from this co-evolution, and among them, it is not always easy to differentiate the news from the real significant new. Mjolnir proposes to get back to fundamental HCI questions that have lately been eclipsed by technological changes, and to revisit them in today's context.
HCI research is not about tomorrow's interfaces or applications but about the original ideas, fundamental knowledge and practical tools that will inspire, inform and support the design of human-computer interactions in the next decades. We favor the vision of computers as tools and want them to empower people. Our long term goal is to provide answers to fundamental questions such as: What does it take for an interactive system to be perceived as a tool or a partner? Can computing tools be designed to support both transparent and analytic use? In the short to medium term, we propose to investigate ways to leverage human control and perceptual skills, and means to support digital skill development. Research on control skills will focus on transfer functions. Research on perceptual skills will focus on haptics and animated displays. Research on digital skill development will start with offline and real-time activity monitors. We will also study the integration of knowledge from these domains in interactive systems and the tools to design them.
Mjolnir collaborates with Inria teams such as AVIZ, CAMUS, EXSITU, HYBRID, NON-A, POTIOC and RMOD. We also collaborate with academic partners from University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Canterbury, University College London, University of Glasgow, University of Maryland, Northwestern University, CNRS, Université Paris-Sud, Télécom ParisTech, Université de Strasbourg, Université Aix Marseille and ENAC. Notable industrial partners include Autodesk Research, Microsoft Research and STMicroelectronics.


During the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting, the host country will provide clothes of traditional fashion for the participants. This not only helps to put the spotlight on the host country's cultural heritage, but also promotes the concept of creating an Asia-Pacific family. It has also become a unique scene every year to see top world leaders don the traditional dress of a host country.
Now, let's take a quick look at what world leaders wore at previous APEC meetings.
The first APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting was held in Seattle, Washington, USA. The meeting kicked off with an informal start: no theme, leaders talk freely without accompanying assistants. Because of the casual nature of the affair, then US President Bill Clinton wore jeans to attend meeting.

The entire dock could be hidden with only the handle showing at the bottom of the screen. Tapping or pulling up in the handle then pulls up the entire dock Very clean home page to show off the daily wallpaper better. Smart Launcher 5 has this feature.
Dock background with margin on the sides and bottom. E.g like IPhone dock background.
auto hide the dock ? open with swipe up on middle or a small indicator.
I believe there should be an option to have less space between the dock and the other apps on the home screen.
Needs better matching icons for the various settings in the swipe-up menu from the home screen. Maybe go for more material ui themed, maybe a circle background behind each setting.
It would be better if in the display of the folders on the dock we can see icons of 6 or 9 icons instead of 4 only.
Like quickstep launcher. In multi-tasking screen of Android Pie, the bottom shows apps icons. Hope Microsoft Launcher can do this.

Museum Exhibits Impressive Art Collection
Jessica Stockholder's "Made of 3 Elements"
The Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art shows works from 29 artists from 1980-2000 in an exhibition, "Impulse and Connoisseurship: Selections from the Forde Collection," Dec. 3-Feb. 1. There will be a free, public opening reception on Tuesday, Dec. 3, from 4-6 p.m.
The exhibition features the collection of Westmont alumna Marie (May) and Arnold Forde, who began collecting contemporary art with the help of legendary art curator Paul Schimmel. The show includes a selection of works by John Baldessari, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Chris Burden, Jenny Holzer and many others.
"This is an exciting exhibition not only because it features so many incredible and respected contemporary artists, but because of the close connection to our Westmont alumni," says Judy L. Larson, Askew professor of art history and director of the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. "It is wonderful to see where Westmont alumni go and what they do after they graduate, and Mrs. Forde is no exception. She and Mr. Forde are both incredibly knowledgeable about art from this era, and it is exciting to see this within the Westmont community."
Piero Manzoni's "Achrome"
"This impressive collection is visually and conceptually interesting," says Alisha Paulsen, museum outreach and education coordinator. "Many of them exemplify the minimalist and conceptual realms of the art world during this time."
The museum is also preparing for the American Family Folk Festival on Saturday, March 22, 2014. The festival will be a day of free activities, crafts, music, dance, storytelling and food, celebrating the vibrant American culture. The festival, held in conjunction with the exhibition "Walking in the Spirit: American Visionary Artists" (Feb. 20- March 29), will be located in and around the museum. The exhibition showcases work from folk artists from all over the United States.

John Vans Agnew - Laird of Sheuchan
John Vans Agnew
Mr. Agnew of Sheuchan
Of Agnew in the parish of Kirkcowan, Galloway. Son of Patrick Vans of Barquhanny and Barnbarroch (ca. 1694-1733) and Barbara McDowall, daughter of Patrick McDowall of Freugh. Married (1747) to Margaret Agnew, dau of Robert Agnew of Sheuchan, and Margaret McDowall. John Vans and his wife were thus first cousins, their mothers being sisters.
In 1771 Vans had built the family's present seat of Barnbarroch. He had at least six children. His eldest son, Robert Vans Agnew (1755-1809), succeeded him as Laird of Barnbarroch and Sheuchan.
According to a family history, John Vans was
a gentleman of much ability and integrity, who led a country life, and was remarkable for the influence which he acquired by the superiority of his talents and the urbanity of his manners, and whose memory was long cherished in Wigton and neighbouring counties, not only for his philanthropy, but for the unwearied attention which he paid to the agriculture and general improvement of the country.
1Quoted from William Balbirnie's "An Account of the Family of Vance in Ireland, Vans in Scotland, and originally de Vaux in France" (1860), p. 22
Boswell met John Agnew at Kirroughtrie (the Heron estate) on September 29, 1762. He described him as "a genteel, ingenious gentleman".

The pilot reported that the engine experienced a sudden and total loss of power during cruise climb. He was unable to restart the engine by isolating the ignition systems and the two fuel pumps. The propeller would rotate while he engaged the starter, but the engine would not restart. Subsequently, the pilot completed a forced landing on a nearby golf course. After an uneventful touchdown on a fairway, the airplane collided with a sand bunker that preceded the green.
A postaccident examination revealed that the experimental amateur-built airplane was equipped with a converted automobile engine that had two ignition systems. The two ignition systems combined at a common distributor before terminating at the spark plugs. Although both ignition coils provided voltage while the engine crankshaft was rotated, a corresponding spark was not produced at the individual spark plugs. An examination of the distributor assembly revealed that the electrode contact had separated from the distributor rotor, which would have resulted in an immediate and total loss of engine power and prevented the engine from being restarted.
Probable Cause: The distributor failure, which resulted in a total loss of engine power during cruise climb.

New addition at Crystal Palace
Tony Pulis smiling credit thanks sara bonita via flickr.com
Premier League side Crystal Palace have appointed Tony Pulis as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The former Stoke City manager will take charge of the Eagles affairs after watching his sidewin 1-0 against Hull City at the KC stadium last Saturday, when caretaker boss Keith Millen took charge.
Pulis's first game in charge of the South East London side will be against Norwich at Carrow Road on Saturday, November 30.
The 55-year-old made his name at the top flight with Stoke City and spent seven years at the Britannia stadium. Once the Palace job became available, Pulis was rumored to be top of Palace's list. There was a lot of speculation about who would take the job with Aitor Karanka, Dan Petrescu, Chris Coleman, Andrea Stramaccioni and Iain Dowie all linked with the post until the Pulis got the call. Chris Coleman was ruled out due to the Welshman extending his time as the Wales national boss.
Pulis has managed at other clubs during his career. Gillingham, Bournemouth, Bristol City, Portsmouth and Plymouth are some of the clubs he has managed. Pulis has an impressive record as a manager, with none of his sides being relegated, and has his work cut out for him to add Crystal Palace to that list. Pulis took charge of Stoke City twice. His first spell began in 2002 and his second spell began in 2006.
Palace is unbeaten in the last two games under Millen, with an International break between the two. They drew to Everton at home and won at Hull City, which saw them climb of the foot of the table.
A club statement read:
"Crystal Palace Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Tony Pulis as manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
"The experienced 55-year-old has agreed terms at Selhurst Park following a six-month break from management, since his highly-successful spell at Stoke City came to an end in May 2013."
In his 21 years as a manager, Pulis has picked up a couple of honors with Gillingham and Stoke City. In 1995/96, Pulis guided Gillingham to second in the third division and three years later took the side to the play off finals in the second division. He also gained promotion with Stoke City in 2007/08 coming second in the Championship and took Stoke City to their first FA cup final in their 148- year history in 2010/11. Pulis guided Stoke City to five consecutive 14th+ finishes in the Premier League.
Tony Pulis believes he is the right man to guide Crystal Palace to Premier League survival. Palace signed 16 players during the summer transfer window and Pulis has vowed to continue spending in January in order to help his side escape the drop.
Pulis confirmed that Keith Millen will remain at the club on the coaching stuff and will establish his full backroom team later in the week.
What exciting new additions do you see Tony Pulis bring to the Crystal Palace team to achieve success?
