A Weighty Decision
If Mike Robertson didn't do something soon about his weight, the strain on his heart would kill him.
by Ken Ramstead
Mike Robertson got the call he had waited for all his life in July 2008. "The Toronto Police Service was offering me a position," he recounts. Mike was so stunned, he couldn't speak.
Angela and Mike on graduation day.
"I'd waited decades for that telephone to ring, and for the longest time, I'd despaired of it ever happening," reflects Mike. "But God had a plan."
Insurmountable odds
Mike was the fourth of five children born to Salvation Army parents. Part of the music section at Toronto's Agincourt Community Church, he and his three older brothers, younger sister and father all played in the same band. "When my grandmother was too frail to come to the corps, the six of us would go and stand outside her apartment and serenade her."
For as long as he could remember, Mike's dream was to become a police officer. "I've always wanted to help people," he explains. "When I worked for The Salvation Army as a youth director and in community and family services, I was able to do that on one level, but I'd always hoped I could also protect and serve people as a police officer."
As the years passed, Mike's dream lay dormant. He dropped out of high school without obtaining his diploma, a prerequisite to any future in law enforcement. And by the time Mike married his wife, Angela, and became the father of two daughters, Charlotte and Mackenzie, he had gained too much weight. "I was working two jobs, eating the wrong foods and I wasn't exercising. The pounds started to pile on and I couldn't get them off." By 2006, Mike's five-foot-four frame was supporting 310 pounds.
"I was as tall as I was round," Mike chuckles now. "That stopped me from pursuing my dream."
Step in the right direction
"The weight was putting a tremendous strain on my heart," Mike says. "I realized that if I didn't do something soon, I wasn't going to be around much longer for my wife or daughters."
The turning point came one day when Mike was playing with his daughters. "I couldn't hold Mackenzie close to me because my stomach was so big," he recalls. "That made me sad. And Charlotte wanted a piggyback ride but she couldn't get her arms around me. I realized I couldn't be the father they needed me to be. Enough was enough."
With a new resolve, Mike evaluated various weight-loss regimens, consulted their family doctor and talked to a surgeon. The surgeon told him bluntly that diet and exercise would kill him because of the added strain it would put on his heart. After evaluating the options, gastric bypass surgery seemed the only solution.
The doctors counselled that surgery wasn't a cure, but rather a way to get him where he needed to be. Mike agreed and was referred to a clinic in New York City in late October 2006.
Alone in a strange city, Mike was understandably nervous as he was prepped for surgery. But as he was wheeled into the operating room, a wonderful sense of calm came over him. "I knew everything was going to be all right," he recalls.
It was only afterward that he found out how many people around the world had prayed for him that day, from Salvationist acquaintances in Papua New Guinea and family in New Zealand to people in his corps and around the country. His father was in the middle of a business meeting in British Columbia when he interrupted the proceedings to ask his associate to pray with him for his son. "Dad had no way of knowing, but it was exactly when my surgery started," marvels Mike.
"I knew then that while God had gotten me to this point, he wasn't finished with me yet. This was just another step in the right direction."
A dream achieved
The results of the operation surpassed the doctors' most optimistic calculations. They hoped that Mike would lose 120 pounds over the course of a year. Incredibly, he lost 150 pounds in half that time.
Mike now and as he looked in 2006.
"As I started losing weight and getting into shape," says Mike, "I realized that the rest of my life was waiting for me. The long-lost dream I had as a boy of becoming a police officer was actually a real possibility."
The one hurdle that remained was his lack of a high-school diploma. Mike tackled that while recuperating from surgery. Every spare moment was spent studying for his General Educational Development (GED) test, with Angela by his side. With her help and motivation, Mike aced the GED in 2007.
"Getting my GED was wonderful, but the smartest thing I ever did was ask Angela to marry me," smiles Mike.
With that final barrier out of the way, Mike tackled physical and written tests in preparation for the police academy. Mike passed them with ease and submitted his application in late January 2008. Six months passed, with Mike on tenterhooks the entire time as he waited for the results.
"When I finally got the call, it was awesome," Mike says.
Mike headed to the Ontario Police College in Aylmer, Ont., for three months of intensive training. Classes in federal and provincial law, firearms, tactics and self-defence were followed by gruelling physical workouts that included five-to-eight-kilometre runs. While Mike was not the oldest recruit, the pace was exhausting.
"I kept reminding myself that, two years ago, I never could have imagined I'd be in the position I was now. That kept me going."
Mike's hard work resulted in him placing in the top 25 percent of his class.
The graduation ceremony was held at Toronto's Old Fort York on January 8. "That was an exciting day, having my family watch me receive my badge from Chief of Police William Blair." Assisting with the presentation was Mike's mentor, Grant Waddell, who is a Salvationist, close family friend and retired chief of police for the Niagara Region. "He's someone I looked up to all my life," says Mike. "Having him present me with my badge made it that much more special a day."
God's hand
Mike is now a fourth-class constable, the start of a three-year process that will lead to him becoming a first-class constable.
Assigned to the Primary Response Unit (PRU), Mike and his colleagues are the first responders whenever a 9-1-1 call is placed. "We do it all," he says proudly. "From responding to domestic disturbances and armed robberies to giving out traffic tickets."
When asked how he can be a Christian and a police officer, he responds, "How can a Christian not want to be a cop? We meet people at some of their worst times of their lives. I might not be able to verbally express my faith, but there's no stopping me expressing it through my actions.
"There are a lot of people hurting out there," he continues, "and through my words, through my actions, I can help them. Just one kind act can make all the difference in someone's life. If I can do that, I can be the hand and voice of God to the people of Toronto."

Not to be confused with the Enzo Ferrari (automobile), which is sometimes referred to as the F60. For the F60 America model, see here.
The Sahara Force India F1 Team is a Formula One racing team based in Silverstone, United Kingdom, with an Indian licence. The team was formed in October 2007 when a consortium led by Indian businessman Vijay Mallya, Force India scored points again in the following race when Adrian Sutil finished fourth, and set the teams first fastest lap, at the Italian Grand Prix. In October 2011, Indian company Sahara India Pariwar, purchased 42. 5% of Force India F1s shares at US$100 million, the teams origins stemmed from the Jordan Grand Prix team, which entered Formula One racing in 1991 based at the Silverstone racing circuit. Jordan enjoyed many years in Formula One, winning four races, like many of the smaller teams in the 2000s, financial problems meant the teams performance dried up, and team owner Eddie Jordan sold the team to the Midland Group in 2005. The renamed Midland F1 Racing team spent two seasons at the back of grid, before owner Alex Shnaider sold the team to Spyker Cars midway through the 2006 season.
After retaining Adrian Sutil for the teams first season, Force India conducted winter tests for the second driver, testing of the car begun in February, after the gold and white liveried car was launched at the Gateway of India in Mumbai. Although a furious Gascoyne called for Räikkönen to be penalised, overtakes under yellow flag conditions would have meant Sutil receiving a time penalty post-race, Force India had been focusing on 2009 since Mallya brought the team, believing that the new regulations would yield better results. Force India finished the tenth place in the Constructors Championship. Force India retained the same drivers for the 2009 season, Force India gained their first pole position in Formula One when Fisichella qualified fastest at the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa. He finished the race in second position, less than a second behind Kimi Räikkönen earning Force Indias first ever points, missing the win was partially blamed on the cars lack of KERS, a system present on the Ferrari.
On 3 September 2009, Force India announced that they were releasing Fisichella from his contract to him to race for Ferrari for the remainder of the season. It was announced four days that test driver Vitantonio Liuzzi would replace Fisichella for the remaining races, in qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Sutil qualified second and Liuzzi, on his race debut for the team, qualified seventh. On race day, Sutil finished fourth and clocked the fastest lap of the race, while running fourth in the race, Liuzzi had to retire due to a transmission failure. Force India finished the season ninth in front of Scuderia Toro Rosso with 13 points, the VJM02 was powered by Mercedes-Benz engines from the 2009 season after signing a five-year deal on 10 November 2008. The deal included a supply of McLaren-Mercedes gearboxes, hydraulic systems, the car was revealed on 1 March 2009. The VJM02 was the first Force India car to pick up points, pole position and fastest lap at the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, the team announced on 27 November 2009, that it was to keep Adrian Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi for the 2010 season.
The 2009 Turkish Grand Prix was the seventh motor race of the 2009 Formula One season. It was held on 7 June 2009 at Istanbul Park, felipe Massa won the 2008 Turkish Grand Prix for Ferrari, in addition to his wins at Istanbul Park in 2006 and 2007. The only other driver to win the Turkish Grand Prix in Formula One was Massas current team-mate Kimi Räikkönen, the race was won by Jenson Button, with Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing completing the podium. Vettel had qualified on pole but a mistake on the first lap scuppered his chances of victory, in Friday practice 1, Ferrari and McLaren performed well, Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and Jarno Trulli posting the top 3 times. Brawn, Red Bull and Renault ran mid field during the session with BMW, in Friday practice 2, Williams and Red Bull were the most consistent performers, Heikki Kovalainen, Fernando Alonso and Robert Kubica posted the top 3 times. Ferrari and Toyota ran mid field during the session with Force India, eliminated were Nelson Piquet Jr.
Sébastien Buemi, Giancarlo Fisichella and Sébastien Bourdais. They all produced times in the 1, 28s, in the second knockout session, the top 10, who progressed to the final shoot-out for pole, were separated by just 0.4 seconds, with Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg just sneaking through. Nick Heidfeld, Kazuki Nakajima, Timo Glock, Heikki Kovalainen and Adrian Sutil were knocked out, the third session to determine pole position was a tense battle with numerous drivers thinking they had claimed pole only for their time to be bettered. Vettel was on pole with a time of 1,28.801. Vettels team mate Mark Webber posted a 1,28.6, however, still had one lap left in him and went quicker again, reclaiming pole with a 1,28.316. Buttons teammate Rubens Barichello improved on his lap, moving up to third position, ahead of Webber. History would favour Vettel, the previous four Turkish Grands Prix having been won from pole position, Button however had two more laps of fuel in qualifying, meaning he would have been on pole fuel-corrected.

Q: Joomla create template like http://launchrock.com/features http://launchrock.com/features
i want to create a template like http://launchrock.com/features ..
I  would like to know how it is implemented, how to create the sliding effect they have used ?

A: Well, that site isn't joomla, and to build a template with that complexity with limited knowledge will be a nightmare I would think.
I'd highly recommend using an existing template framework like RocketTheme or another get started with.  JoomlaXTC also some very cool sliding/graphic templates.  You can see there how the libraries and graphics are incorporated into the Joomla framework to get the effect your want.  Good Luck

A: As said by @GDP, it will be tough creating a template for Joomla. I have been working with Joomla for years and still haven't made a template for Joomla as it require a lot of time, not like your typical CSS template. My recommendations would be as follows:

*

*Purchase a template from  a well known company such as Yootheme, Rockettheme, Joomlart etc if you are looking for something heavy, stylish, professional and feature packed.

*Download a blank template here ad build it up from scratch if you really have the time.

*Download a free template and such as the Yootheme Master theme.

*Use a framework such as YouGrids, T3 or Construct5 to assist

King of Arnor
(Redirected from Kings of Arnor)
Emblem of Arnor
The Kings of Arnor were the rulers of the Northern kingdom of Arnor, located in Eriador. They were descended from Elendil and the Lords of Andúnië. The line would persist even after the fall of Arnor, and would eventually resurface at the end of the Third Age to retake the kingship of the North Kingdom.
The title is tied to that of the Heir of Isildur and the High King of the Dúnedain.
2 Office and duties
3 List of Kings
Originally, Elendil was the High King of both Gondor and Arnor. After his death, he was followed by his son as Isildur, who retained the title of High King, but didn't rule as he died on his way to Arnor; Valandil his son, was too young, leaving the kingship of Gondor to the House of Anárion, and when he grew up to rule, he claimed only the kingship of Arnor.[1]
After King Eärendur the realm of Arnor was split between his three sons, founding the realms of Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur. The House of Isildur continued with the Kings of Arthedain.[2] Though also Heirs of Isildur, the kings of Arthedain are listed distinctly from the kings of Arnor. The title of "King of Arnor" would fall into disuse.
By T.A. 1349, the House of Isildur had died out in Cardolan and Rhudaur. Argeleb I of Arthedain again claimed the title King of Arnor.[2] However, much of the territory that once belonged to Arnor had fallen out of his hands, and Argeleb and his descendants were counted as kings of Arthedain in the lists of the Red Book of Westmarch.[2]
After the death of the last king of Arthedain, Arvedui, the Northern Kingdom was no more. The line of Kings continued in the Chieftains of the Dúnedain, ruling over the Rangers of the North.[1]
Though the kings of Arnor faded, some folk maintained the faint belief that the kings would return, such as the Hobbits, who would retain the saying "until the king comes back" and also attributed their few rules and laws to the king as well. The memory of the northern kings would also not be forgotten in Gondor, where the line of kings had failed altogether.
In Fo.A. 1, the kings of the North returned in the figure of Aragorn II Elessar, who became king of Gondor and soon afterwards re-established the realm of Arnor, as well as the title of King of Arnor. He and his descendants afterwards would reign the Reunited Kingdom, but after Eldarion Elessar's son the Red Book records no more of the heirs of Elendil.
Office and duties[edit]
The king of Arnor had similar powers and duties to those of the king of Gondor. The king would have control over the militaries of Arnor. He also had the authority to grant lands to others as fiefs or vassals. For instance, the Shire was originally a grant from the king to the hobbits. King Elessar would renew this grant upon his own accession to the throne, naming several officials of the Shire such as the Thain as a Counsellor of the North-kingdom.[3]
The King would also have the legal right both to use a palantír and to appoint someone to do so in his stead.[4] In the days of the split realm, Arthedain controlled the palantíri of Elostirion and Annúminas, while both Cardolan and Rhudaur contested the ownership of the palantír of Amon Sûl (later Weathertop).
There were several heirlooms the King would wear or use as signs of their authority. The most famous of these were the shards of Narsil, the broken sword of Elendil. Another was the Ring of Barahir, received from Finrod Felagund during the Elder Days by an ancient ancestor. Additionally, the kings possessed the Sceptre of Annúminas, a silver rod from the days of Numenor.[5]
There was one more artefact used by the Kings of Arnor: the Elendilmir, a white gem set in a fillet (or crown) made of mithril. The original gem was a heirloom worn by Isildur, however, it was lost in the river Anduin upon his death at the Battle of the Gladden Fields. However, it ended up in Orthanc after Saruman stole the body of Isildur from the Gladden Fields. It was rediscovered during the reign of Elessar who would wear the fillet on his brow on certain high days.[6] A copy of the Elendilmir was made for the Kings of Arnor by the smiths of Elrond, and this copy was used as an heirloom of the house of Isildur even after they lost the kingship. After the recovery of the original, it would continue to see use on occasions where the original Elendilmir was not worn.

California High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) System

To the best of my knowledge, it is still tied up in meetings, discussions, politics and economics. When, and if, I hear about someone getting a budget I will let you know. I believe the EPA is also involved in these talks. That should slow things up even more.

High-speed train line plan may be derailed
by themallard
High-speed train line plan may be derailed For more than a decade, policymakers have debated, studied and scoped out a high-speed rail line that would whisk travelers between downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco in 2 1/2 hours.
But, this year, the $40-billion dream of building a Japanese- or European-style bullet train through the Central Valley may find itself stopped in its tracks.
Even as state lawmakers visited France earlier this month for a glimpse of a passenger train as it set a world rail speed record of 357 mph, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was applying the brakes to California's plan for a high-speed system.
The governor wants "to quietly kill this — and not go out and tell the people that high-speed rail isn't in the future," said state Sen. Dean Florez (D-Shafter). The lawmaker from the southern San Joaquin Valley is counting on the trains to help bring jobs to his district.
Schwarzenegger asked the Legislature in his 2007 budget to slash money for the California High-Speed Rail Authority. In addition, the governor also wants lawmakers to postpone indefinitely a $9.95-billion rail bond issue that is slated to appear on the November 2008 ballot.
Adam Mendelsohn, a spokesman for the governor, said Schwarzenegger still wanted to build a bullet train — just not anytime soon: "Right now, the voters are crying for relief from congested freeways. That's the immediate priority."

Ugh, how is building an HSR system not helping congestion on the freeways? An extra lane on a highway is not an alternative transportation option.
VikingNik
by Nasadowsk
California's been talking about HSR since I was in high school. Actually, before then even.
That was back when 186mph was the sexy thing and all HSTs were TGVs or Japanese.
Why bother discussing it? It's all talk and has been talk for 15 years now. It's no closer to moving forward today than it was then. If Cali really wanted it, they'd darn well do it.

In many cases the best route for a high speed rail line would be alongside or above the motorways. It could replace two lanes.

Fresno Bee wrote: GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: State must build high-speed rail
By Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
As the recent Bay Area freeway collapse illustrated -- and as a recent Bee editorial correctly pointed out -- Californians need and deserve a diverse array of transportation options. I absolutely believe high-speed rail should be one of those alternatives.
A network of high-speed rail lines connecting cities throughout California would be a tremendous benefit to our state.
Not only would its construction bring economic development and the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs, but once completed, we would also see improvements to our air quality, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, congestion relief on our highways and greater mobility for people living in the Valley and other areas of our state currently underserved by other forms of transportation.
Yet it's been more than 10 years, and the state has already spent more than $40 million in initial planning for the rail line. But there is still no comprehensive and credible plan for financing the system so we can get construction under way.
The High-Speed Rail Authority, the commission in charge of developing a plan for high speed rail in California, estimates the cost of building the system to be more than $40 billion.
Yet so far, the only financing party identified with specificity is the state, which the Authority proposes float a $9.95 billion bond. The remaining 75% of the project cost, or more than $30 billion, has yet to be identified with any specificity or confidence.
Before asking taxpayers to approve spending nearly $10 billion plus interest, it is reasonable to expect the authority and its advisers to identify with confidence where we will find the remaining $30 billion.
A perfect example of what I'm talking about is my $5.9 billion water infrastructure package. By using a public-private partnership approach, we've identified a plan that lays out exactly how we are going to pay for every piece of the proposal, from the reservoirs to the groundwater storage to fixing the Delta to our conservation efforts.
For the reservoir portion, the estimated building cost is $4 billion. We've proposed $2 billion in general obligation bonds for the public portion and $2 billion in lease revenue bonds to be paid for by the water users themselves, i.e. water agencies, irrigation districts, cities, etc. And to ensure that this funding materializes, we are requiring that contracts be in place to pay for the lease revenue bonds before public dollars are spent on the projects.
Identifying the exact funding sources for large transportation projects is more problematic, which is why we need the authority to come up with a well-thought out financing proposal before moving forward.
I want to commend the authority for its great progress so far in completing the necessary environmental studies and identifying future rights-of-way that we would need to acquire.
Yet even the authority's executive director, Mehdi Morshed, says the longer the state waits to build a high-speed rail network, the more expensive it will get. I could not agree more.
That's why I have directed my recent appointees to work with the authority and its financial advisers to develop a comprehensive plan for financing the project in its entirety, so we can make high-speed rail a reality in California once and for all.
Last year, my administration increased funds for the authority to continue its work, and this year, my budget proposes additional funding.
I am willing to explore multiple approaches in order to fund the balance and execute this project -- whether through federal grants, local participation, vendor support, co-development opportunities, public-private partnerships or any other realistic financing plans in which the authority expresses confidence.
I look forward to working with the authority and reviewing its proposal as soon as possible.
But let me be clear: I strongly support high-speed rail for California, and especially for the San Joaquin Valley. Increasing the Valley's transportation options, especially after voters passed Proposition 1B to repair Highway 99, would better serve the region's growing population and enhance the Valley's critical importance to our state's economy.
The promise of high-speed rail is incredible. Looking forward to the kind of California we want to build 20 and 30 years from now, a network of ultra-fast rail lines whisking people from one end of the state to the other is a viable and important transportation alternative and would be a great benefit to us all.
With a responsible plan in place, we can feel secure in delivering high-speed rail and bringing greater opportunity -- and a brighter future -- to all Californians.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the governor of California.
i want to call attention to the bolded phrases. the last one is most telling – this seems like he's sucking up to the SJ Valley, because this editorial was NOT printed anywhere else and his office didn't issue any official statement in the same vein as this editorial.
he also says that he's allocated money in the coming year for the project, yet in reality he's proposed giving the CAHSR authority just 1 million of the 102 million that they are requesting.
lastly, to me he's sending mixed messages. on the one hand, he says that a financial plan is a prerequisite for the project to get his blessing. on the other, he says that he strongly supports it.

Most of the traffic consists of commutors travelling short distances to work. This traffic is mostly in the major cities and not midway between them. Investment in a subway system would help relieve congested freeways. A HSR system on the other hand will relieve airport congestion which is also important.

The wisest solution would be to have a number of cheaper costed options as well as the 220mph option.
110mph non-electrified upgraded existing line
125mph non-electrified new line
125mph electrified new line
Going for the expensive 'all or nothing' approach is unlikely to raise the required funds.

Neither is going for the "west coast acela" approach (Hint, what in the world would 155 mph do for reliving airplane, and highway travel, which in my opinion is the point behind this)

Well 155 mph would allow for a 105-110 mph average speed, including station stops. It would also be a lot easier to co-mingle a 0.70 degree curve next to existing facilities than it would be to co-mingle a 0.40 degree curve so the construction costs would be less as land costs would be less.
Most interstates in built up areas would be 3.9 degree curves (non-icing assumptions) at 70 mph design speeds (R=1470 ft). So a 8180 ft radius that only went through a short arc could fit close to the existing right of way.
A 155 mph non-stop commuter run in the morning using the same equipment as the intercity runs would allow for a 75 mile commute in 45 minutes so it would help out on morning period congestion as well.
How fast is fast enough..... there are limited returns for higher speeds given shorter station spacings.

In England, the electrified West Coast Main Line operating 125mph tilting trains gives a fastest London - Manchester journey (185 miles) of 2 hours 8 minutes (1 hr 58 minutes from next year) and fastest London - Glasgow (401 miles) of 4 hours and 25 minutes (4 hours 10 minutes from next year).
So you can achieve a lot without resorting to dedicated high speed routes, although you still need to invest heavily to upgrade your existing route.

AMTRAK outside the NEC has an average run speed of what...50mph or there abouts? Ya, lines rated at 125MPH would be quite a step up, would seem like very high speed rail by those who have only known snail rail.

There's also a green argument for opting for a high speed (rather than very high speed) rail line.
A survey carried out in 2004 in the UK, found that the energy used per seat on trains travelling at a maximum 225kph (140mph) between London and Edinburgh (400 miles) would be 30kWh per seat. Increase the maximum speed to 350kph (220mph) and the energy use would increase to 57kWh per seat. (Trains between London and Edinburgh in reality run at a maximum speed of 200kmh (125mph).)
So unless your ultra-high speed line is running on power generated by nuclear reactors, you're not going to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
The survey concluded from an environmental angle that a 'green' high speed line would have the following characteristics:
• Modest top speed, 200 – 250 kmh (125 - 155 mph)
• Non-carbon energy sources: renewables, nuclear
• High capacity, wide bodied, double deck EMUs
• Lightweight, low drag (articulated, smooth, aerodynamic)
• High passenger utilisation: serves major population centres
• Targets "1 person/car" market, in preference to groups
• Discourages travel growth (e.g. longer commuting distances)
• Provides capacity for parcels, mail and similar services

I'm sceptical about the proposed 220mph maximum speed in California. The Spanish planned this top speed for their Madrid - Barcelona high speed line but this has now been scaled back to 186mph. Similarly, the Japanese who have decades of experience in high speed rail travel, were planning 220mph from 2011 for their 'Fastech' Shinkansens, but again this has been scaled back to 199mph (320kph). Problems with noise, pressure changes in tunnels and general wear and tear suggest that 200mph is about the limit for conventional high speed railways.

Are you looking for ways to boost your cognitive potential?
L-Theanine is an amino acid that is found naturally in tea leaves. It has been found to increase alpha brain wave generation, improving reaction time, aiding in brain network coordination, all while producing a calming effect on the brain. It also demonstrates neuroprotective qualities, meaning that it protects the brain from deterioration and decline. For this reason, it can be effective in preventing Alzheimer's disease. L-Theanine is a popular first choice for people who are starting off with nootropics, and it can be helpful for delivering a calm focused feeling by reducing stress and stress-related distractions during intense mental activity. For more about L-Theanine, check out this link.
This well researched nutritional supplement has been popular among fitness enthusiasts because of its weight loss and exercise benefits, and has more recently been recognized for its cognitive benefits. Acetyl L-Carnitine, better known as ALCAR, is another amino acid and antioxidant found naturally in many vegetables, meats, and fish that increases the energy production in mitochondria, thereby boosting both mental and physical energy. This supplement also promoted short-term boosts in blood flow to the brain, helping reduce recovery time after mental or physical fatigue, while helping prevent brain cell deterioration. ALCAR can help bring about the motivation required to power through a long work day or workout, making it one of the best nootropics for focus and motivation.
L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine – more commonly known as Alpha GPC – is a natural essential nutrient that our bodies need in order to develop and function properly. Our brains already naturally produce low levels of Alpha GPC, as it aids in preventing cognitive decline. This nootropic is one of the most effective natural choline sources, meaning it raises your body's levels of acetylcholine – one of the key neurotransmitters or chemical signals that your brain and body use to communicate to cells. This means that Alpha GPC can naturally help boost memory, focus and attention, and can also help prevent memory and cognitive loss. (Read more about that here). In Europe, Alpha GPC is used medically for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine – or NALT – is an amino acid, found naturally in dairy products, meats and other high-protein foods. It is a more bioavailable and rapidly absorbed version of the amino acid L-Tyrosine, and our brains convert this nootropic into neurotransmitters like dopamine and epinephrine. The neurotransmitters – or chemical messengers – that our brains convert NALT into are involved in sustaining mental energy, alertness and concentration. Taking a NALT supplement can really help with focus, while helping you resist declines in performance over long periods of time.
Piracetam is considered the "first nootropic," and is one of the few synthetics that are included in the category of nootropics. Piracetam was first created in 1964 by Belgian pharmacists who coined the term "nootropic" shortly after. Piracetam can be effective for helping you focus, and also for helping reduce stress. There have been numerous studies done on Piracetam and its various uses. Notably, it has been found to reverse effects of aging in mice, it has been found to enhance cognition in patients with dementia and cognitive impairment, and it has been found to have beneficial effects in people with anxiety and depression. This cognitive enhancer is great for many purposes, and can certainly help get you through a long day in the office or at the library.
Using any or all of these nootropics can help you become a more productive and focused person. Whether you are a student, a working professional, or even an athlete or performer, the boost in memory and focus that these cognitive enhancers can bring about will certainly help you tackle your day's tasks! Let us know how your experiences with these nootropics go, and if you agree that these are some of the best nootropics for focus! As always, feel free to contact us with any comments or questions.

8.9.1 Hawaii Resource
9 Alimony Laws in all 50 States
What is Alimony?
Also referred to as "spousal support" or "spousal maintenance" in Aloha State, alimony is the series of payments made by one spouse (the payor spouse) to another (the supported or payee spouse) after the divorce.
Type of Alimony Laws Practiced in HI
Types of alimony in Hawaii
In Hawaii, judges might order spousal support to be temporary, short-term (transitional or rehabilitative), or long-term.
Temporary Spousal Support in Hawaii
During the divorce proceedings, temporary spousal support is commonplace, and the judge may mandate it to help a lower-earning partner meet financial demands while the divorce is underway. (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 580-9 (2018).)
Temporary support terminates when the divorce is finalized and (if necessary) short-term or permanent support is ordered.
Short-term transitional Support in HI
When the lower-earning spouse requires assistance adjusting to a new standard of living following the divorce, short-term transitional support is suitable. Transitional support is only available for a limited time, maybe as little as six months after the divorce. The most prevalent type of support provided in Hawaii is a rehabilitative short-term support.
Rehabilitative Spousal Support in Hawaii
When the lower-earning spouse requires financial assistance while completing job training or college education in order to obtain work and ultimately become self-sufficient, rehabilitative support is suitable.
Rehabilitative support stays as the court deems appropriate for the assisted spouse to find work, and you must provide a plan to the court that details how the approach will lead to appropriate jobs within a set time frame. (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 580-47 (13) (2018).)
The court can impose long-term support for spouses who are unable to find work due to old age or illness, however, this is uncommon.
Spouses that want to have more influence over the type, quantity, and length of spousal support can discuss a support award, even if it differs from what the judge would award.
Who Pays Alimony in Hawaii?
In Hawaii alimony law, the spouse that makes most of the money will share that income with the other spouse. The idea behind who pays for alimony is to considerably level up the living standard of the dependent spouse to what it was while the marriage was on.
Regarding the sex that pays, alimony in Aloha State is gender-neutral, meaning either spouse can request support from the other. As long as the alimony can be provided to the requesting spouse, then it will most likely be granted.
So a husband can receive alimony from a wife in Hawaii if the above conditions are met.
How Long Does Spousal Support Last in HI?
The judge will decide how long the alimony payment should last in Hawaii
The duration to pay alimony in Hawaii can differ depending on the individual judge and circumstances. However, you should expect to pay spousal support for a duration of 80-70% of the length of the marriage lasted. So assuming you were married for 10 years, the spousal support duration will most likely be between 6 to 7 years.
Support is usually paid in monthly installments by the paying spouse. Numerous courts require payments to be made through the state's Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA). The maintained spouse will receive alimony payments straight from the paying spouse's earnings if alimony is paid through the CESA.
How to Collect Spousal Support Arrears in Hawaii
When it comes to collecting spousal support in Hawaii, you have a few choices if your ex-spouse has failed to make alimony payments as ordered by the court. Debts for spousal support are frequently given priority among debtors under US law.
Factors That Influence Alimony in Hawaii
In Hawaii divorce situations, alimony is not required to be paid. If spousal support is to be paid, the divorced spouses must agree on who will pay it, how much it will be, and how long it will last (otherwise the court will decide). Although most people believe it is, alimony is not a part of most divorce agreements.
The average amount payable as spousal support in Hawaii after divorce is determined by various factors. But the major factor you have to understand is "the standard of living of the marriage."
To determine the final amounts for rehabilitative and permanent support in HI, the courts in HI takes into consideration the income of the spouses, plus other factors like:
(Haw. Rev. Stat. § 580-47 (2018).)
This is the main measure the court uses to determine the amount to be paid in Aloha State. The principle behind the standard of living of the marriage is that after the marriage breakup, both spouses should continue living within the same standard they lived while the marriage lasted.
How Alimony is Calculated in HI
How Alimony is Calculated in Hawaii
According to the statutes, the amount to be paid as spousal support in Hawaii is calculated after considering the above-stated factors. Whichever option is adopted it is reflected in the Alimony Calculator
But to be explicit about how to calculate spousal support in HI, you may need to consult your spousal support attorney.

Importance of Using a Skilled Hawaii Spousal Support Attorney
If you're getting a divorce in Hawaii and need to negotiate or re-negotiate spousal support, you've definitely got a lot of questions and want to seek competent legal guidance. Though state Supreme Courts have supported lifetime spousal support, your circumstances may or may not fulfill the requirements. HI courts may judge your case differently based on the merits of you and your previous spouse. There are so many variables to consider.
If you want to get spousal support for the rest of your life or if you want to fight against it in Hawaii, an expert divorce lawyer can help. Depending on the objective and the desire of the adversary attorney to bargain in good faith, you'll need attorneys that are
both empathetic and strong.

FAQ About Hawaii Alimony Laws

Can a Husband get Alimony in HI?
Yes. In Hawaii, alimony payment is gender-neutral, meaning the sex that pays or receives is not the main determinant, but other factors as stated above. For details click here.
Who Qualifies for Alimony in Hawaii?

How Long do you have to be Married to get Alimony in HI?
To understand how long alimony lasts in Hawaii, you have to take into consideration how long the marriage lasted.
Is Alimony Tax Deductible in Hawaii?
Following the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which altered the link between alimony and taxes dramatically in Hawaii and all over the US, alimony payments are no longer tax deductible for the payer and are no longer recognized as income for the recipient spouse as of January 1, 2019.
Is Alimony Mandatory in Aloha State?
Alimony is mandatory in Hawaii as long as one of the spouses earns or owns assets that can be relied upon to support the other spouse after the marriage breaks down.
Can Alimony be increased in Hawaii?
Can you go to Jail for Not Paying Spousal Support in HI?
Technically, you will not be jailed for not paying alimony in Hawaii. While there are varying consequences for not paying alimony, you can still end up in jail as a result. Here is how.
If it's a Hawaii court-ordered spousal support that you refuse to pay, it means you are in violation of a court order meaning you can be prosecuted for being in contempt of court if contempt proceedings are brought up against you. This could attract a jail term in HI}.
How to Modify Spousal Support in Hawaii
How to Avoid spousal support in Hawaii
When necessary, Hawaii law allows for a spousal support modification. When it comes to alimony, courts in HI usually try to do their best to create judgments that are fair and
effective in the long run. Nevertheless, conditions change over time, and these changes may compel a revision or modification of the initial order.
When filing for a spousal support modification in Hawaii, keep in mind that the courts will only entertain the motion if there has been a significant and long-term change in circumstances. A brief problem is unlikely to be significant enough to warrant a revision in the initial alimony ruling. Likewise, dissatisfaction with the support order is not a valid reason for a revision in HI. (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 580-47 (13) (d) (2018).)
The following are some of the most common reasons for requesting an alimony modification in Hawaii:
How to Avoid or End Spousal Support in HI
In Aloha State, the spouse paying the alimony can successfully avoid or stop the alimony payment if he/she is able to prove any or all of the following points:
Remarriage – The remarried spouse shall notify the court of the remarriage within 30 days of the marriage, or face paying lawyer fees, charges, and spousal support repayment. (Haw. Rev. Stat. § 580-57 (2018).)

The Billionaire Raj: A Journey Through India's New Gilded Age
Written by James Crabtree
Narrated by Shridhar Solanki
A colorful and revealing portrait of the rise of India's new billionaire class in a radically unequal society
India is the world's largest democracy, with more than one billion people and an economy expanding faster than China's. But the rewards of this growth have been far from evenly shared, and the country's top 1% now own nearly 60% of its wealth. In megacities like Mumbai, where half the population live in slums, the extraordinary riches of India's new dynasties echo the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers of yesterday, funneling profits from huge conglomerates into lifestyles of conspicuous consumption.
James Crabtree's The Billionaire Raj takes listeners on a personal journey to meet these reclusive billionaires, fugitive tycoons, and shadowy political power brokers. From the sky terrace of the world's most expensive home to impoverished villages and mass political rallies, Crabtree dramatizes the battle between crony capitalists and economic reformers, revealing a tense struggle between equality and privilege playing out against a combustible backdrop of aspiration, class, and caste.
The Billionaire Raj is a vivid account of a divided society on the cusp of transformation-and a struggle that will shape not just India's future, but the world's.

A list of pages that have property "Compiled by" with value "Alankrutha" annotated.
"A person who devotes his mind, body and speech to the service of the Lord, even though in the midst of a miserable life fraught with past misdeeds, is assured of liberation." Bhattacarya changed the word mukti (liberation) to bhakti - devotional service +
"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me (Krsna). I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear." Thus as soon as one surrenders unto the lotus feet of Krsna, one certainly becomes free from all contamination +
"After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogis in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection" - BG 8.15 +
"All the inhabitants of the palace" includes Kamsa. When everyone lamented, Kamsa joined in compassion, thinking that perhaps because of drugs or some other external means, Devaki had undergone this abortion +
"And out of all songs, what song do you think is the best of all?" Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked. And Ramananda replied that any song which describes the pastimes of Radha and Krsna is the best song. In conditional life, the soul is captivated by sex +
"And what do you recommend a person to think of?" Lord Caitanya asked. Ramananda replied that one should always think of the pastimes of Krsna. This is Krsna consciousness +
"And what is the best subject to hear of?" Caitanya Mahaprabhu next asked. "The pastimes of Radha and Krsna," Ramananda replied. Actually when the pastimes of Radha and Krsna are heard from the right source, one at once attains liberation +
"And what is the best type of meditation?" Lord Caitanya inquired. "He who always meditates on the lotus feet of Radha and Krsna is the best meditator," Ramananda Raya answered +
"And who is the most worshipable Deity?" Caitanya Mahaprabhu next inquired. Ramananda Raya immediately replied that the transcendental couple, Sri Radha and Krsna, is the ultimate object of worship +
"As long as I remain in Benares, I will beg from door to door," Sanatana said. "But the Lord (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) will be so good as to accept this invitation for daily lunch at your house" +
"Because I am (Krsna) going into the womb of Devaki," the Lord told Yogamaya, "the Sesa incarnation has already gone there and made suitable arrangements so that I may live there. Now He should enter the womb of Rohini, His eternal mother" +
"Because you (Sanatana Gosvami) are a humble devotee," the Lord continued, "you are asking Me to confirm what you already know. This is very nice." These are the characteristics of a true devotee +
"Because you have understood the purpose of My incarnation, you are privileged to have seen this particular feature of My personality," the Lord said to Ramananda Raya +
"By present some imaginary interpretations of Vedic literatures in order to divert people from the actual purpose of the Vedas you will attempt to make them atheists," the Lord said. "After that, they can produce more population" +
"How is this?" the mendicant upbraided him (Sanatana Gosvami). "You appear to be a very nice gentleman, but you are mocking me in this unmannerly way" +
"I (Krsna) envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him." Although the Lord is impartial, He gives special attention to His devotees +
"I am a Mayavadi sannyasi," Lord Caitanya protested. "I have no knowledge of the transcendental features of devotional service" +
"I am not joking with you," Sanatana informed him (mendicant). "I am very serious. Will you kindly exchange that torn quilt for this blanket?" Finally the mendicant exchanged his torn quilt for the blanket, and Sanatana returned to the Lord +
"I am touching you just for My purification," the Lord (Caitanya Mahaprabhu) replied (to Sanatana Gosvami), "for you are a great devotee. By your devotional service you can deliver the whole universe and enable everyone to go back to Godhead" +
"I do not know anything," Ramananda Raya replied (to Lord Caitanya) in all humility. "I am simply saying what You are causing me to say. I know that You are Krsna Himself, yet You are relishing hearing about Krsna from me" +
"I do not know the mercy of Krsna," Sanatana replied (to Caitanya Mahaprabhu), "but I can understand that Your mercy upon me is causeless. You have delivered me from the entanglement of material life" +
"I have seen your two brothers (Rupa Gosvami and Vallabha)," the Lord then informed him (Sanatana Gosvami), "and I have advised them to proceed toward Vrndavana" +
"If you don't accept these coins, then someone else will take them from me," Sanatana replied (to hotelkeeper). "Someone will kill me for them, so it is better that you take them. I offer them to you" +
"It is the nature of highly elevated devotees to see Krsna in everything," Lord Caitanya replied. "Whenever they see anything, they do not see the form of that particular thing. They see Krsna." This is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam - SB 11.2.45 +
"Just give it up and turn your faith toward Me. Then you will be happy," Krsna says. BG 1972 purports +
"Just take your rest tonight," he (hotelkeeper) told him (Sanatana Gosvami), "and in the morning I shall arrange for you to get out of this jungle trap" +
"O hunter, the qualifications which you have acquired - such as nonviolence & others - are not astonishing, because one who is engaged in devotional service to the Lord cannot be a source of trouble for anyone under any circumstance" - Skanda Purana +
"Of course I can let you (Sanatana Gosvami) go," the jailkeeper replied, "for you have done many services for me, and you are in government service. However, l'm afraid of the Nawab" +
"Out of compassion for them (devotees of God), I (Krsna), dwelling in their hearts, destroy with the shining lamp of knowledge the darkness born of ignorance." The devotee does not do anything not sanctioned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead +
"Please rest assured that I have nothing to hide from you," Lord Caitanya told Ramananda. "Even if I do try to hide from you, you are such an advanced devotee that you can understand all My secrets" +
"Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya considers me to be one of his devotees," Ramananda Raya replied (to Lord Caitanya). "Therefore he has kindly recommended that You see me" +
"Tell Me if you know something beyond this (impersonal) conception of the Supreme Absolute Truth," Lord Caitanya finally said to Ramananda Raya +
"The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy" +
"The dead of night" refers to midnight. The maha-nisa is described in this smrti-mantra: maha-nisa dve ghatike ratrer madhyama-yamayoh, "Twelve o'clock midnight is called the dead of night" +
"The living entity in material nature follows the ways of life, enjoying the three modes of nature. This is due to his association with that material nature. Thus he meets with good and evil amongst various species" - BG 13.22 +
"This part is mine, and that part is yours," they say. "This part I can give in charity, and this part I can keep for my enjoyment." These are all demoniac conceptions. This is described in BG 16.13: idam adya maya labdham imam prapsye manoratham +
"Thus far I have acquired so much money and land. Now I have to add more and more. In this way I shall be the greatest proprietor of everything. Who can compete with me?" These are all demoniac conceptions +
"To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I (Krsna) advent Myself millennium after millennium" +
"Whatever I am doing to become free from material attachment is all Your mercy," Sanatana replied. The Lord was very much pleased with him, and both of them discussed spiritual advancement +
"Where is your valuable blanket?" the Lord (Caitanya) immediately inquired (Sanatana Gosvami). Sanatana informed Him about the exchange, and the Lord loved him for this and thanked him +
"Where should a person live, giving up all other pleasures?" Lord Caitanya next inquired. Ramananda replied that one should give up all other pleasures and should live in Vrndavana where Lord Krsna had so many pastimes +
"Why have you changed the original verse?" the Lord asked Bhattacarya. "The word is mukti, and you have changed it to bhakti" +
"You (Ramananda Raya) have the highest conception of the pastimes of Radha and Krsna," Lord Caitanya continued. "Therefore you are seeing Radha-Krsna everywhere" +
"You (the Nawab) are the governor of Gauda," Sanatana Gosvami replied very gravely, "and you punish different kinds of criminals in different ways. So you are at liberty to punish anyone according to his activity" +
"You are a great devotee of the Lord," Bhattacarya continued replying Gopinatha Acarya, "and I was simply blinded by my academic education. Yes, I have obtained the mercy of the Lord through your agency only" +
"You are a suitable person to protect the devotional service of the Lord," Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued (saying Sanatana Gosvami). "Therefore it is My duty to instruct you in the science of God, and I will explain everything to you step by step" +
"You have submitted sick reports," the Nawab told Sanatana Gosvami: "But I sent my physician to see you, and he reported that you have no illness at all" +
"Your constitutional position is that you are pure living soul," the Lord told Sanatana. "This material body cannot be identified with your real self; nor is your mind your real identity, nor your intelligence, nor false ego" +

US imposes visa ban on 'Nigerians undermining democracy

Russian-born billionaire becomes UK's top taxpayer – Suga News
Factual Pursuit of Truth for Progress
The United States has imposed visa restrictions on some Nigerians accused of undermining democracy.
The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, said that the sanctioned individuals, whose names he did not reveal, would be ineligible for the US visa.
According to him, the action was part of the action to advance democracy and tackle corruption in Nigeria.
The top-ranking diplomat also explained that some family members of those barred from the US may be subjected to the same restriction.
He said, "We are committed to supporting and advancing democracy in Nigeria and around the world. Today, I am announcing visa restrictions on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the democratic process in a recent Nigerian election.
"Under Section 212(a)(3)C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, these individuals will be found ineligible for visas to the United States under a policy to restrict visas of those believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy in Nigeria.
''Certain family members of such persons may also be subject to these restrictions. Additional persons who undermine the democratic process in Nigeria—including in the lead-up to, during, and following Nigeria's 2023 elections—may be found ineligible for U.S. visas under this policy.''
Blinken clarified that the visa restriction was not targeted at the Nigerian people or the government.
He described it as a reflection of the US government's commitment to supporting Nigeria's aspiration to combat corruption and strengthen democracy and the rule of law.
''The visa restrictions announced today are specific to certain individuals and are not directed at the Nigerian people or the Government of Nigeria. The decision to impose visa restrictions reflects the commitment of the United States to support Nigerian aspirations to combat corruption and strengthen democracy and the rule of law,'' the statement said.

The Genesis Foundation is the sole sponsor of the major new exhibition Living with Gods: peoples, places and worlds beyond at the British Museum. Examining the practice and expression of religious beliefs in the lives of individuals and communities across the world, it is the latest in a long-standing collaboration between the Genesis Foundation, Neil MacGregor and the British Museum, which includes the landmark exhibition Treasures of Heaven in 2011, the acquisition of the Lacock Cup for the Museum, and more.
The exhibition is part of a collaborative project between the British Museum, the BBC and Penguin Books. It builds on the Radio 4 series of 30 daily programmes over six weeks presented by former Director of the British Museum Neil MacGregor.
Living with gods explores the practice and expression of religious beliefs in the lives of individuals and communities around the world and through time. It will include pieces from the end of the last Ice Age that depict beings that do not exist in nature, to familiar objects of everyday practices of all periods – including a remarkable 18th-century replica of a Hindu ceremonial chariot of the kind pulled from a temple to reveal deities during festivals, posters relating to Soviet scientific atheism, and a Chinese badge celebrating 'Mao's mangoes' in an extraordinary story of 20th-century veneration.
The theme of art and faith increasingly characterises aspects of the Foundation's work from choral commissions including James MacMillan's Stabat mater to the current sponsorship of the British Museum's Living with Gods exhibition.
Living with gods: peoples, places and worlds beyond runs from 2 November 2017 – 8 April 2018 at the British Museum. Supported by the Genesis Foundation. With grateful thanks to John Studzinski CBE.
Open daily 10.00–17.30, open late on Fridays 10.00–20.30. Last entry 80 mins before closing.
Booking fees apply online and by phone.
A full public programme of events will accompany the exhibition. More information on this programme is available from the press office or online nearer the exhibition opening.

Dorothy Pattison Hospital Windows
A.T.B. was approached to carry out the replacement of windows at Dorothy Pattison Hospital in Walsall, a mental health hospital comprising three wards: two gender specific acute inpatient wards (Ambleside and Langdale), a residential rehabilitation unit (Grasmere ward) and an Extra Care Area (ECA).
The hospital is part of Dudley Walsall Mental Health Trust and offers specialist assessment, care and treatment to people who are experiencing mental health difficulties.
The new windows were to be installed in Langdale ward and 136 Suite, a facility undergoing conversion from an administration area.
Following initial discussions between A.T.B. and the team at Dorothy Pattison regarding design and health and safety requirements it was decided to replace the existing windows with bespoke versions of A.T.B's Taurus Max mental health horizontal slider to allow for the unique design of the hospital windows. The Trust subsequently carried out a risk assessment on the windows at ATB Systems premises to test that the window was indeed fit for purpose.
A.T.B.'s mental health hospital windows are the latest addition to the Taurus Max range of security windows and doors.
Designed specifically to meet the needs of the mental health sector the horizontal slider has an anti-ligature pull handle and robust locking system as well as an integral security mesh which is available in two light transmittance options.
The mesh has been designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, delivering security in a sensitive and subtle manner as well as allowing maximum levels of natural light and ventilation. Available in two density options for either mental health security or non mental health applications the anti-vandal mesh can withstand the harshest of treatment, and is even resistant to rifle attack.
Colin Freeman, Managing Director of ATB Systems explains, "At A.T.B we always work closely with our customers to produce products which meet their needs and ultimately the needs of the end user. In fact, as with this project, many of our products are customised to suit individual requirements.
The design for Suite 136 ultimately comprised of two slider side panels combined with a fixed middle section. Langdale ward featured a fixed and a sliding panel at the top and 2 fixed panels on the bottom, all equipped with the anti-ligature features of the Taurus Max Healthcare range. Opening panes have a full lock-off facility with keyed alike euro profile cylinder to either lock windows open or shut."
An additional request was for the new windows to blend with the existing windows in the other areas of the building. Polyamide thermal break allows dual colour options, with different colours to the interior and exterior faces. As a result the new windows were painted brown on the outside to match the old ones, with white interiors.
Langdale ward remained operational during the installation period which was carried out over 2 days without issue.
It is testament to the quality of our Taurus Max mental health range and the professionalism of our installations team that the work carried out at Dorothy Pattison was the result of a recommendation from an earlier project where our mental health products were installed", adds Colin.
"We talk to our customers and ultimately supply superior products combined with excellent personal service and reliable deliveries. This is how we manage to not only meet but exceed our customer's expectations."

CES is, at best, a mixed bag on the food front. It's certainly true that Las Vegas has a number of world class restaurants, but on most days, you're either standing in impossibly long lines for terrible convention center fast food or fighting it out for some press center box lunch.
The folks at Impossible Burgers, however, were kind enough to hire Border Grill's Mary Sue Milliken to help grill up its latest offering at Mandalay Bay in Vegas. The definition of technology is, admittedly, pretty broad at a show like this — so why not launch the latest upgrade to its meat-free burger at the show?
The latest version of the burger contains no meat (naturally), gluten, antibiotics or hormones. It has no cholesterol and about half the fat content of a beef burger, while offering equivalent iron and protein content, according to the company.
As for taste — well, this non-beef eater will believe it when he tries it. Impossible calls it "unprecedented." I'm honestly not sure what that means in the context of a vegetarian hamburger, but thankfully our video producer Gregory will be on-hand to eat the thing and report back.
· Chef Tae Strain's Momofuku CCDC in Washington DC.
The current version of the Impossible burger is available at 5,000 locations across the U.S.


Becoming an expert is simple. All you have to do is memorize the labels of 15 craft beers and occasionally mumble "That's a great IPA."
Who are we kidding? There's no fast way to become a beer expert. Tossing around terms like "IPA" or "pilsner" may impress a college freshman, but there isn't a bush league of craft beer drinkers minor enough for this vocabulary to make you appear to be an expert. Even if you knew everything there was to know about those 15 craft beers; you would not be able to call yourself an expert. Just to put things in perspective, the Beer Expert app on Google Play has a database of 300,000 craft beers. So let's drop "beer expert" in favor of "beer enthusiast."
Learning to recognize craft beers by label will give you some familiarity with the styles, brewers, and beers out there, but this information is worthless unless you have at least sampled those beers. And, to justify our existence to real beer experts let's roll out a tired cliché: "Success is found in the journey, not the destination." So, you fulfill this step with a change in mindset. It's not about becoming a beer expert; it's about learning about great-tasting beer and enjoying the process of discovery. Now, go forth and engage Steps 5, 6, 7, and 8. Whether or not you become an expert, you will be a successful Brewery.com "enthusiast."
