These 2 procedures are done by different 2 procedures named catalysis and anticatalysts. catalysis means adding some chemical material during the method so as to decrease blowing reaction time.
1. Ease and simplicity in changing blowing condition and have production with different grades as a result.
2. Ease in generating the unit.
3. Ease in technology and additionally low expense in investment.
1. The processing should be done from the bottom of blowing tanker. The reaction between oxidized bitumen and air is calorific. If the heat produced during the mixture is high, the heat of reaction is controlled by water injection.
2. Admixture of air and also the volume of blowing air are 2 important variants in blowing method. In oxidized bitumen manufacturing plant, bitumen 60/70 is typically got by blowing. in this case for creating oxidized bitumen 90/15 or oxidized Bitumen 85/25 distilled used oil or crude oil ought to be injected to the product according to the volume 20-25 the worries otherwise the fragility in bitumen result in inferior production.
3. Increasing the heating temperature, air injection amount, time and tower pressure increase the speed of production method reaction. the suitable temperature for production operation is 265-270 °C which ought to be controlled not to be ascended since in high temperature and in 288 °C intensity of reaction becomes more sever and incontrollable that lead to explosion in tower.
4. The long-time stay of bitumen in tower in any condition isn't in favor of system and should be delivered to drum or empty tanker once being ready.
5. If the liquid surface in blowing tower is low, not more than particular limit ought to be added to the system for the extra air gather in empty components and lead to ignition nearly. And if the temperature is kept high, the heat of tower ascend fats and this issue cause inside explosion and damage the system.
6. blowing tower is filled up to 70th. Air injection is finished in 190-232°C. the final point of blowing is specified by sampling and testing of oxidized Bitumen properties. Finally the temperature of product ought to be kept 150- 165 °C in order to have loading and packing capability.


Ken Byrne H.Dip. Int. Arch. Int. Des. Qualified with honors from The Dublin Institute of Design in Interior Design, followed by a Diploma in Interior Architecture, Commercial Design and Color psychology.
Ken has remained at the forefront of design here in Ireland as well as in the USA, while coming in to the Design Business late he has always kept abreast of what was going on in the design world. He has spent the majority of his career to date working as a hotel manager in New York, San Francisco where he gained valuable commercial design experience and home here in Ireland also but he never lost his love and intrigue for design.
Ken is a charismatic go-getter who uses his connections and people skills masterfully to achieve his goals. He is a proven leader amongst leaders whose passion for design makes him something of an entrepreneur. Ken will turn his hand to any role that calls for his unique talent for making the most of any space, be it interior or exterior. He is an attitude changer, a hope lifter and a dream builder whose designs embody all that he is and all that he represents for his clients. Ken has worked on many renovations and re-modeling projects. Ken has designed a few gardens recently, and sees this as a path he is now compelled to pursue. Ken is hands-on when he needs to be, but his real skill is knowing the right kind of people to get the job done.
Ken describes his style as "sharp, clean and contemporary" but he uses his creativity to mix it up with "vintage" style also.
For Ken a space is about the memories it triggers as much as the way it looks. He loves re-using everyday materials in a new way, is a big fan of recycling and up-cycling and he loves using found objects in a space to set the mood.
Ken believes that gardens should provoke memories, such as the copper fire he has in his own garden to remind him of his time in California. Ken's true passion is in his story telling where his finished design tells his client's personal story.

When she has matured into an adult, Menalippe, the Oracle of the Amazons sees a vision in which the Gods and humanity is in danger from Ares. Soon they are approached by the Gods and tasked with organizing a tournament in order to chose a champion, who will save them from impending Doom. Diana competes against her mother's wish and win. Athena then sends her a weapon, the Lasso of Truth forged by Hephaestus from the girdle of Gaea.
Gal Gadot, who had originally signed for three feature films with Wonder Woman being her second, had extended her contract beyond that.[13] The director of the first film, Patty Jenkins, who was initially signed for only one film, had expressed interest in returning to direct the sequel.[14][15] In June 2017, during an interview with Variety, comic book writer Geoff Johns revealed that he and Jenkins had started writing the treatment for a Wonder Woman sequel and that he had a "cool idea for the second one".[16][17] While speaking in a Q&A at Women in Film screening of the film, Jenkins confirmed she would indeed direct the sequel.[18] However, Jenkins later tweeted that "it wasn't a confirmation. Just talking about ideas and hopes".[19]
Although she initially forbids Diana to be trained as a warrior, Hippolyta reluctantly agrees to let General Antiope, Hippolyta's sister and Diana's aunt, train her, only more rigorously than any other warrior. In 1918, Diana, now a young woman, rescues US pilot Captain Steve Trevor when his plane crashes off the Themysciran coast. The island is soon invaded by German soldiers that had been pursuing Trevor. The Amazons kill the crew, but Antiope sacrifices herself to save Diana. Steve is interrogated with the Lasso of Hestia and reveals that a great war is consuming the outside world and that he is an Allied spy. He has stolen a notebook of the chief chemist Dr. Isabel Maru, who is attempting to engineer a deadlier form of mustard gas under the orders of General Erich Ludendorff from a weapon facility in the Ottoman Empire. Believing Ares to be responsible for the war, Diana arms herself with the "Godkiller" sword, the lasso, and armor before leaving Themyscira with Steve to locate and stop Ares for good.
Wonder Woman had a minor role in Young Justice. Initially, the character was going to be excluded from the show due to legal red tape, but was included at the last minute. However, as a result of only being cleared for use late in the production cycle, she only had several speaking appearances. In the second season, she could be seen as the mentor of Wonder Girl. She was voiced by Maggie Q.
The "Year One" storyline retells Diana's origin growing up on Themyscira. She lives an idyllic life and harbors interest for the outside world, and the first connection to it comes in the form of Steve Trevor, who crashes on the island and is the sole survivor. A contest is held to determine which Amazon is the best candidate to take Steve home, with Diana volunteering despite knowing the cost to leave the island is to never return. Diana wins the contest and departs with Steve. Once arriving in America, Diana is taken into custody by the government to discern her origins. She meets Etta Candy and Barbara Ann Minerva along the way. While incarcerated Diana is visited by the gods in animal form and bestow upon her powers of strength, speed, agility, durability, and flight. She discovers Ares, the god of war, is working to destroy humanity. Accepting her new role in Man's World, Diana, with the help of the gods in animal form, subdues Ares with the lasso. Now called Wonder Woman, Diana becomes one of the world's greatest heroes.
In May 2017, early tracking had Wonder Woman opening with $65–75 million, and possibly as high as $105 million.[179][180][181][182][176] The film opened Friday, June 2, 2017, across 4,165 theaters and made $38.7 million on its opening day, including $3.7 million in IMAX. It was the biggest single-day gross for a woman-directed film, ahead of the $35.9 million opening Friday of Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight in 2008 and the biggest opening day for a woman-led comic book superhero film, ahead of Ghost in the Shell ($7 million).[183] This included $11 million it made from Thursday previews, also the best start for a film directed by a woman, surpassing Fifty Shades of Grey's $8.6 million which was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, and the third-biggest of the year, behind Beauty and the Beast and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Of that, $1.5 million came from IMAX screenings.[184][185]
It introduces us to the character of Diana in a new and important way, tying her origin to a larger overall story and presenting her as a character that both shares our weaknesses and possesses strengths we can't have. This book is a nearly perfect DC Comics story. You'll find the only thing that's disappointing about it is that it got canceled too soon.
Wonder Woman gets a little jealous with Supergirl's arrival, believing she is trying to catch everyone's attention. When she realized that Supergirl is actually a better superhero because she looks up to Wonder Woman, they became friends and Wonder Woman helps to train Supergirl. She is among the heroes to battle against Granny Goodness and the Female Furies. She is voiced by Grey Griffin.
She has also become romantically involved with Superman, which has stirred some controversy in the fan community. One criticism is that her comic mythology is/will be supplanted by Superman's, and she will be relegated to the role of supporting character in his mythos. However, Wonder Woman's popularity and the sales of her solo book run contrary to this theory. Currently she is under the creative team of Meredith and David Finch. Their story arc has mainly focused on Diana's humanity and how she deals with multiple relationships and responsibilities. She is shown as a character with great hardships in juggling her many "hats" as queen of the Amazons, Justice League Member, and God of War. There has been some dissension on Paradise Island and there is a plan to over throw Diana as queen. Donna Troy has been introduced into the New 52 universe as a being made from Hippolyta's clay remains and from an unknown Amazon. She is magically made to be Diana's counter. In upcoming solicitations it is said Donna was specifically made to have her strengths be Diana's weaknesses, whatever that might mean is still unknown. Her relationship with Superman has been focused more on the Superman/Wonder Woman title and most recently it has shown the trust they have for one another and the compassion and leadership skills Diana wields. She is shown to pick saving helpless humans over helping Superman who is under a magic spell. It is later revealed however, that before she went to save the humans, she placed her lasso of truth on Superman, which broke the spell he was under.
The Pre-Crisis version of the invisible plane was a necessity because before Crisis on Infinite Earths rewrote Wonder Woman's history – along with the histories of many other heroes – Wonder Woman could not fly. She grew increasingly powerful during and after the Silver Age of Comic Books, acquiring the power to ride wind currents and imitate flight over short distances. This had limitations, however; for example, if there was no wind and the air was completely still she would be trapped on the ground or if dropped from a distance that she would helplessly fall out of control to the ground. Though this meant that she would rely on the invisible plane less frequently, she always had need of it.[citation needed]
This superhero era led by Kanigher didn't last long though. The character was mired in the story lines from the golden age and especially her attachment to Steve Trevor. At the same time across the DC lineup characters were being revitalized with a new focus on science fiction. The silver age at DC is often attributed to having been started by the appearance of the re-imagined Flash in Showcase #4 in 1956. This led to a number of DC characters being reinvented such as Green Lantern and Hawkman. The difference with Wonder Woman though is that the character had managed to stay continually published since the golden age and did not get a science fiction retelling in the 1950s and 1960s. This left the character somewhat stilled mired in the past and eventually it was decided that something would be done to break her free of it. When the decision was made though it was decided that she would not have a science fiction background as it would break too much from her background as an Amazon, but that she would be slightly re-imagined as a martial arts based character, more along the lines of Batman. This would allow her to keep her somewhat unique background story, while also being more contemporary and popular. A much stronger emphasis was also placed on her appearance, as her somewhat drab civilian clothes and costume from the golden era were replaced with contemporary fashions of the time. In addition she opened a fashion boutique in trendy Greenwhich Village. This has led some to describe this era of the character as the "Mod Girl Wonder Woman." While this version of the character did not prove to be consistently popular over the course of her brief run, it did leave some lasting impact on the character once she returned to her usual appearance. Following this she sought out more ambitious careers, for instance as a translator for the United Nations, or as a NASA astronaut and eventually moved back to Army Intelligence where she eventually got promoted to major. Also this period provided the opportunity to sever her from a dependence on Steve Trevor for her stories and her stories for the first time in her publication history became much more in line with what is considered typical of the super hero medium. The introduction of the multiverse made it such that there became two Wonder Womans, the modern version on Earth 1, and the golden age version on Earth 2. For a short time her appearances in her own comic were those of Earth 2 until the contemporary Angle Man accidentally visited her and subsequently the series was returned to modern day. The stories continued much like this for the remainder of the silver age until the end of the first Wonder Woman series with the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths. To provide closure to the character which was destined for a reboot, Steve Trevor returned and following the defense of Paradise Island from Shadow Demons, the two were finally married, though in continuity this lasted less than an issue.
Diana meets Barbara Ann Minerva for the first time. Minerva wants Diana's lasso and tricks Diana into believing that she has Antiope's Girdle of Gaea. Diana discovers the ruse and storms out of the house. Barbara transforms into the Cheetah and attacks Diana. Julia Kapatelis shoots Cheetah and fends her off. Diana returns to Themyscira. Zeus is infatuated with Diana and asks her for a physical communion to which Diana refuses. Angered, Zeus sends her on a mission, a "Challenge
The original significance of Wonder Woman had the intentions of influencing many women of all ages, displaying the physical and mental strengths, values, and ethical attributes that not only men acquire. "Wonder Woman symbolizes many of the values of the women's culture that feminists are now trying to introduce into the mainstream: strength and self-reliance for women; sisterhood and mutual support among women; peacefulness and esteem for human life; a diminishment both of 'masculine' aggression and of the belief that violence is the only way of solving conflicts," Steinem wrote at the time.[223]
Artemis of Bana-Mighdall briefly served as Wonder Woman during Hippolyta's trials for a new Wonder Woman. Orana, a character similar to Artemis, defeated Diana in a new contest and became Wonder Woman in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity. Orana was killed during her first mission. Others who have donned the Wonder Woman persona include Nubia, Cassandra Sandsmark, and Donna Troy.
The arrival of the 2017 DCEU film Wonder Woman has kicked off a great moment for the character as fans can see her become the very first female superhero to headline a solo live-action movie. The film also opens the doors for children and adults who were unfamiliar with Wonder Woman to look back at some of her greatest stories in the comics and discover what makes this character so special not only to DC fans, but to the comic book landscape overall.
Wonder Woman has been the subject of a discussion regarding the appearance and representation of female power in general, and of female action heroes in particular[227] since her initial 1941 appearance in Sensation Comics,[227] as she was created to document "the growth in the power of women", while wearing "a golden tiara, a red bustier, blue underpants and knee-high, red leather boots."[228] She was blacklisted a year later in 1942 in the "Publications Disapproved for Youth" because, the group behind the list argued, she was "not sufficiently dressed".[228][229]
Filming occurred outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. during mid-June.[37] Other filming locations around DC included the Penn Quarter neighborhood, McPherson Square, the DAR Constitution Hall near the White House, the Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian), and the Lincoln Memorial.[38][39][40] By mid-July, production in the United States was completed and moved to England.[41] In August, filming on location took place in several places around London, including St. Andrew's Place, Regent's Park and the Royal College of Physicians.[42][43] Between September and October 2018, production also took place at Almería, in Andalusia, southern Spain,[44][45] as well as Fuerteventura and Tenerife in the Canary Islands.[46][47]

This article presents a systematic theoretical enquiry concerning the conceptual foundations and the nature of phonon-mediated electron-electron interactions. Starting from the fundamental many-body Hamiltonian, we propose a simple scheme to decouple the electrons and nuclei of a crystalline solid via effective interactions.
There are fundamental relations between two vast areas of physics: particle physics and cosmology (micro- and macro-worlds). The main goal of this book is to establish and define the connection of these two fields with condensed matter physics.
DFT is not just another way of solving the Schroedinger equation. Density functional theory is a completely different, rigorous way of approaching any interacting problem, by mapping it exactly to a much easier-to-solve non-interacting problem.
Important progress in understanding the behavior of hadronic matter at high density has been achieved recently. We discuss the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature and density, and close with a look at possible astrophysical signatures.
A thorough introduction to the theoretical basis of density functional methods in a form which is both rigorous and yet concise. It is aimed for those who want to get a deeper insight into the meaning of the results of practical calculations.

Why Nottingham Forest's friendly clash with Dundee will be a landmark occasion
The Reds will take on the Scottish Championship side at 5:30pm on Tuesday

Nottingham Forest's friendly with Scottish side Dundee on Tuesday will create a little piece of history at the Pinatar Arena in the Spanish region of Murcia.
The Anglo-Scottish meeting will be the 1000th game held at the 3,500 capacity stadium since it first opened six years ago.
In that time, some of Europe's top clubs have used the popular facility to train at, while it regularly holds international tournaments for the younger age groups with England regular visitors in recent times.
This summer, Forest will use the facility between June 30 and July 7 for two games, with the clash against Dundee coming before the Reds take on Peterborough next Saturday.
The Pinatar Arena in Murcia (Image: Pinatar Arena)
Their training base will be in the La Finca region of Alicante, around 25 minutes away from the Arena which will play host to both games.
Martin O'Neill's Reds will be one of more than 100 teams using the facility throughout 2019, including French giants Lyon, Anderlecht, FC Zenit and German outfit Hoffenheim.
Nottingham Forest have paid Fawaz Al Hasawi in excess of £4m - but appeal over court case will continue
During Forest's visit to the popular resort, they'll be joined by Newcastle United and their former loan star Jack Colback, with the managerless Magpies and their Under-23 squad there between July 4 and 11.
The Reds will return to England spending a week back in Nottingham before flying out to Greece where they'll take on Atromitos and Olympiacos in Athens.
From there, O'Neill's jet-setting Reds will come back to British shores to face games against Mansfield, Real Sociedad, Crystal Palace and Lincoln City in the build-up to the opening day fixture against West Brom at the City Ground on August 3.

2015-2016 Volkswagen Beetle Models Need Takata Airbag Inflator Fix
VW is issuing a recall for more than 37,000 2015-2016 Beetle models fitted with Takata airbags
by Brad Anderson
More than 37,000 Volkswagen Beetle models are being recalled in the United States due to a defective Takata driver front airbag inflator.
A recall notice reveals that the driver's side airbag inflator may explode because of propellant degradation following long-term exposure to high humidity, high temperatures, and high-temperature cycling. It is the same issue that has impacted tens of millions of other vehicles around the world.
Volkswagen says that impacted Beetle models are fitted with a Takata SDI-D driver frontal airbag inflator were tested internally and not shown to have any defects. However, it has agreed to issue a recall after consultation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recall involves 2015-2016 Beetle models produced between June 20, 2014 and July 29, 2016, as well as 2015-2016 Beetle Convertible models built from June 30, 2014 to July 28, 2016. The recall involves a total of 37,558 Beetles.
The automaker notes that while an inflator explosion could send sharp metal fragments into the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death, it says that the airbag inflators involved in this recall do not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety to drivers of affected vehicles. However, it acknowledges that over a longer period of degradation, the airbag may not perform properly in the event of a crash.

Both dealers and owners will be notified of the recall on or before February 17. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to their local dealer where the driver frontal airbag will be replaced at no cost.

The persons depicted are a tableau of the historic lives of East St. Louisians. The photos represent ideas such as community expression and commemorative history. This compilation of photos evokes the social character of East St. Louis and presents a timeless remembrance.
Mayor Malbern Monroe Stephens came to East St. Louis as an engineer for the Ohio and Mississippi Rail lines in 1868. He married a French immigrant widow in 1872 and opened a hotel in 1874 called the Forth Ward House that stood on the corner of Collinsville and Summit Avenues. In 1877, Stephens was elected as a fourth ward alderman working with John B. Bowman.
On May 27, 1896, an F-4 tornado touched down on the near South Side of St. Louis at around 5p.m. and ripped a ten-mile long path across the Mississippi River into the East St. Louis downtown commercial district and railyards. The approximate death totals for St. Louis were 137 and in East St. Louis 118 were killed. The approximate cost of damage was estimated between $10 million and $12 million by 1896 standards.
The Historic Postcards of East St. Louis recall the beauty of the city. Their imagery captures the elegance of East St. Louis' yesteryear. Conveying relevant impressions and lasting memories, the postcards generate historic visibility and environmental romanticism. This gallery's architecture forms an enduring window into East St. Louis' vibrant past.
Churches in the City of East St. Louis were, and continue to be, an important segment of the community's social landscape. In addition to being places of worship, many churches in the East St. Louis community also served as educational institutions and gathering places for leisure activities. Historically, churches in East St. Louis were plentiful. They mirrored the city's population. Most churches in the city were neighborhood specific. Today, churches in East St. Louis continue to serve as an important staple of community pride and social gathering.
Content for the galleries comes from a variety of first and second-hand sources. The galleries outline some of East St. Louis' most well-known and significant events, as well as day to day depictions of historical East St. Louis culture.
The Galleries of the East St. Louis Virtual Historical Society are given meaning and purpose by the context in which they are created and how they are showcased. The goal is not merely to reproduce existing objects and images but to actualize new ones through the promotion of cultural development. The galleries are developed to engage the public with a way of looking at the past. Different techniques and displays are used to demonstrate how images can be adapted to a changing society through effectively educating and creating a sense of awareness, interest, and/or curiosity.

(Support Free Thought) - Klickitat County, WA — In reaction to the tragic shootings throughout 2018, Washington state has passed and is planning to pass a slew of new anti-gun bills that will make them one of the most regulated states in the country. But these bills are being met by resistance from an unlikely group. A handful of sheriffs is standing up to the "unconstitutional" nature of the bills and is promising disobedience.

Forklift Control Valve - The earliest mechanized control systems were being utilized over two thousand years ago. In Alexandria Egypt, the ancient Ktesibios water clock constructed in the 3rd century is thought to be the very first feedback control tool on record. This clock kept time by way of regulating the water level inside a vessel and the water flow from the vessel. A popular design, this successful tool was being made in a similar way in Baghdad when the Mongols captured the city in 1258 A.D.
All through history, different automatic equipments have been utilized to be able to accomplish specific tasks or to simply entertain. A popular European style throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was the automata. This tool was an example of "open-loop" control, featuring dancing figures that will repeat the same task over and over.
Closed loop or otherwise called feedback controlled devices comprise the temperature regulator common on furnaces. This was developed in 1620 and accredited to Drebbel. Another example is the centrifugal fly ball governor developed in 1788 by James Watt and utilized for regulating steam engine speed.
The Maxwell electromagnetic field equations, discovered by J.C. Maxwell wrote a paper in the year 1868 "On Governors," that was able to explaining the exhibited by the fly ball governor. So as to explain the control system, he made use of differential equations. This paper exhibited the importance and helpfulness of mathematical methods and models in relation to understanding complicated phenomena. It even signaled the start of mathematical control and systems theory. Previous elements of control theory had appeared earlier by not as dramatically and as convincingly as in Maxwell's study.
In the following one hundred years control theory made huge strides. New developments in mathematical methods made it feasible to more accurately control significantly more dynamic systems as opposed to the first fly ball governor. These updated methods include different developments in optimal control in the 1950s and 1960s, followed by progress in robust, stochastic, optimal and adaptive control techniques during the 1970s and the 1980s.
New technology and applications of control methodology have helped produce cleaner auto engines, cleaner and more efficient chemical methods and have helped make space travel and communication satellites possible.
At first, control engineering was practiced as just a part of mechanical engineering. Control theories were originally studied with electrical engineering for the reason that electrical circuits can simply be explained with control theory techniques. Now, control engineering has emerged as a unique practice.
The first controls had current outputs represented with a voltage control input. In order to implement electrical control systems, the right technology was unavailable at that time, the designers were left with less efficient systems and the option of slow responding mechanical systems. The governor is a very effective mechanical controller that is still often utilized by various hydro factories. Ultimately, process control systems became obtainable prior to modern power electronics. These process controls systems were normally utilized in industrial applications and were devised by mechanical engineers making use of hydraulic and pneumatic control devices, many of which are still being used at present.

Features › Interviews › The Body
Interviews: The Body
Setting out to create the most twisted and disgusting pop record ever created, The Body certainly achieved that goal with their latest album, No One Deserves Happiness. In this interview Lee Buford, drummer of the band, discusses the idea behind their album and their work process as a band, as well as some of their upcoming collaborations and tours.
Scene Point Blank: Hey guys! First of all thanks for finding the time to do this interview. It is much appreciated. Would you like to give an introduction to the band?
Lee Buford: We started in 1999 and been playing together since then.
Scene Point Blank: If I am not mistaken, No One Deserves Happiness marks the fifth time that your work is released by Thrill Jockey. How is it working with these guys?
Lee Buford: We love everyone at Thrill Jockey. I feel bad because I hear so many horror stories of our friends dealing with other labels and we don't have to deal with any of that. I think we're probably a hard band to sell since we try to push away from any genre people try to put us in to, so I'm thankful for them sticking with us.
Scene Point Blank: I found the concept behind No One Deserves Happiness, the fact that you set out to make the most disgusting pop album ever created, very intriguing. What was it that set you on this path? And do you feel that you have succeeded?
Lee Buford: I think that was kind of a joke. We did want to take the elements from pop music we loved and incorporate them into our music. I think we did a good job with it. I think we retained the stuff that still makes it "a Body record."
Scene Point Blank: By the way, is it true that the original bass line for "Two Snakes" was inspired by a Beyoncé song?
Lee Buford: Most everything we do is inspired by Beyoncé. Or the Weeknd.
Scene Point Blank: I'd like to ask specifically about "Adamah." The word itself, as far as I know comes from Hebrew, and it is roughly translated to "earth," and is closely related with the name "Adam," giving a link between man and earth, and to an extent between man and animal. Is that how you see the concept of the specific track? How does that fit in your philosophy as a band?
Lee Buford: Our friend Maralie wrote the lyrics and that one so I couldn't say what her intent was.
Scene Point Blank: The sound of the new record is amazing. Congrats on that! Can you tell us more about the production stage . Where was it recorded? Which engineer(s) did you use for the recording, mixing, and mastering stages?
Lee Buford: We record most everything with our friends Seth and Keith at Machines with Magnets in Rhode Island. They did everything as far as recording and mastering. They're the best.
Scene Point Blank: You also had a number of guests in No One Deserves Happiness. Can you tell us how these collaborations came to be? You have worked with The Assembly of Light Choir on Christs, Redeemers if I remember correctly.
Lee Buford: Chrissy Wolpert, who does the Choir, has been on most every record we've done. This one doesn't have the whole choir, but some of the women who have sung with the choir in the past. They're all good friends of ours.
Scene Point Blank: I Shall Die Here is a great album and was considered a bold move from you guys, having Bobby Krlic (Haxan Cloak) come in as a producer and starting to move into other musical directions such as electronic music, techno and industrial, a move that very few acts would dare make. What was it that signaled that change for you? And do you feel that The Body will transform further its sound in the future?
Lee Buford: We're always trying to push ourselves creatively, otherwise what's the point? We'll always try to take as many risks as we can because we'd probably die of boredom if we didn't.
Scene Point Blank: Obviously you guys had a very distinct sound from before I Shall Die Here. How do you mold the final product of The Body? Is it a collaborative effort, or is rather each member bringing his own identity to the band?
Lee Buford: We're best friends and being only two of us it's easy to write music and take more chances that I think traditional bands can't take. It's easier for two people to get on the same page than it is for four. Everything we do is collaborative, including the guest musicians we have on the records.
Scene Point Blank: Sticking with the subject of your sound, have you noticed any differences in your creative process in I Shall Die Here and No One Deserves Happiness? It seems that your sound has become even less straightforward and I wonder whether that has influenced the way you compose the music.
Lee Buford: I don't think we have any agenda when we make music. We just kinda grab whatever interests us and try to incorporate it in. The way music is now I think we might subconsciously try to distance ourselves from that stuff, but most of the time it's pretty natural.
Scene Point Blank: You have done some excellent collaborations in the last few years, including bands/artists such as Krieg, Thou, and Vampillia among more. Are there any more collaborations on the horizon?
Lee Buford: We've got one with Full of Hell that comes out in March, and hopefully one with The Bug is coming out sometime.
"We'll always try to take as many risks as we can because we'd probably die of boredom if we didn't."
Scene Point Blank: Is there any more material from the sessions of No One Deserves Happiness that did not make the final cut, just because it did not fit with the rest of the album? I am asking since you have been very prolific in the last few years. Is there a possibility we are going to get an EP from The Body soon?
Lee Buford: We have two songs that are more the old style. Maybe it'll be a 7" at some point.
Scene Point Blank: You guys have also participated in the latest Wrekmeister Harmonies excellent album, Night of Your Ascension. How did this collaboration come to be? How different do you find working as The Body compared to contributing in Night of Your Ascension?
Lee Buford: We're just friends with JR and he asked if we wanted to record with him while we were in town. I mean, it's fun hanging out with JR and Mark Solotroff was recording too, so it's always great to hang with those guys.
Scene Point Blank: Do you guys have any plans for future gigs?
Lee Buford: Europe tour with Full of Hell, and a US tour in May.

Program connects environmental dots
Three new appointments at the A.R.T.
By Beth Potier Gazette Staff
The Environmental Economics Program (EEPHU) brings together scholars from different schools for "green" collaboration. Dale W. Jorgenson (left), Frederic E. Abbe Professor of Economics, meets with Wenhua Di, a doctoral student in public policy and predoctoral fellow in the program, and Robert N. Stavins, director of EEPHU and Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government at the Kennedy School. (Staff photo by Kris Snibbe)
What will it cost corporations to reduce the sulfur emissions that lead to acid rain? What incentives will spur consumers to conserve water?
According to Robert Stavins, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard is the best place in the world to answer these questions. The University boasts a breadth and depth of faculty interest in the field of environmental economics that is unequalled, he says.
But because Harvard's environmental economics expertise is spread across the faculties of several schools, faculty members were, until recently, often unaware of their colleagues' work in the field. Graduate students, who studied the subject in four different schools, were not tapping the diversity of faculty resources.
"We were not exploiting the economies of scope and the economies of scale that we have," says Stavins, speaking like the economist he is.
The new Environmental Economics Program (EEPHU), which Stavins directs, is working to overcome this lack of connection by creating synergy among the scholars at Harvard who work in this field. Launched in winter 2001, the EEPHU brings together 17 faculty members from six schools (Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Kennedy School of Government, Business School, Law School, School of Design, and School of Public Health) and 12 predoctoral fellows from four doctoral programs: economics, public policy, political economy and government, and health policy.
As a field, environmental economics addresses the ongoing struggle between fueling the economy and protecting the environment. "The causes of environmental problems are fundamentally economic," says Stavins. "They're a natural consequence of a market economy." Environmental issues making headlines – global warming, acid rain, Arctic oil exploration – are rooted in economic behavior. "This is a tremendous growth area. Demand is much greater than the supply of environmental economics Ph.D.s," he says.
The Environmental Economics Program, jointly sponsored by the Center for Business and Government at the Kennedy School of Government and the University Center for the Environment, is not a degree-granting program. Rather, "it provides a venue for these faculty members to get to know one another, to work together, and to provide greater services to graduate students," says Stavins, adding that it also helps graduate students studying the subject in different departments connect to each other.
Toward this end, predoctoral fellows gather weekly for a research lunch seminar. At a regular seminar in environmental economics, academics and policy-makers from around the world present research.
Another key component of the EEPHU is the program's Web site – www.ksg.harvard.edu/cbg/eephuhome.htm – which brings together the University's rich resources in environmental economics under one virtual roof. Stavins says that the Web site, featuring research issues and faculty and student profiles, is a great resource for students and potential students interested in the field.
To an external audience of media, policy-makers, and scholars, the program and the Web site "raise the visibility of Harvard as a center of scholarship in the area of environmental economics," Stavins says. "These 17 faculty members are world-class scholars and leaders in their particular areas. But we're not all in one place, so that critical mass is often not observed by the outside world as being as significant as it is."
Inspiration for this program came in part from Stavins' own experience pursuing a Ph.D. at Harvard. Although he is quick to point out that he got an excellent education in economics, Stavins was unaware of faculty or students in other parts of the University who were also working on environmental economic questions.
Lori Snyder, a predoctoral fellow in public policy, is reaping the fruits of Stavins' experience. "Before I began working with the Environmental Economics Program, I was aware of only a small fraction of the research being conducted at Harvard at the intersection of economics and environmental policy," says Snyder, who is also the EEPHU program coordinator and overseer of the Web site. For her dissertation, she is researching how information-based environmental regulations such as the Toxic Release Inventory affect firms' decisions on input use, production levels, and emissions.
For Joe Aldy, a Ph.D. student in economics studying the relationship between environmental regulation and technological innovation, developing a peer group across departments has proved valuable. "These are the people we'll be collaborating with and reading about throughout our careers," he says. This summer, Aldy will work with Kip Viscusi, John F. Cogan Jr. Professor of Law and Economics at Harvard Law School, doing research on Superfund sites.
Other research in the program represents the breadth of the field of environmental economics. Sheila Cavanagh, a public policy student, recently received a National Science Foundation grant with Stavins for her dissertation work on the effectiveness of various policy instruments in managing urban water scarcity, in the context of the effects of global climate change on regional water supplies. Political economy and government student Ruben Lubowski spent two years in Sri Lanka studying the use of nontimber rainforest products by local communities; for his dissertation, he is conducting an econometric study of land-use changes in the United States to estimate the costs of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through reducing deforestation.
Stavins is confident that the EEPHU will continue to grow and attract high-quality scholarship to Harvard. As the program moves forward, he says, the faculty will look at curriculum in environmental economics University-wide, evaluating unmet needs and expanding accordingly. Calls from other universities interested in starting similar programs – University of California, Berkeley, Yale, and Duke among them – speak to the scholarly interest in environmental economics.
But Stavins only needs to look around him to see that the EEPHU is on the right track. "I'm gratified to see faculty members communicating and discussing issues," he says. And he gets "great satisfaction when I realize that graduate students are going to be getting a much better education because of it."

Blythedale Beach
Sheffield Beach
Zinkwazi Beach
Sibaya Casino
7km from Umhlanga
+27 31 580 5000 www.suninternational.com/sibaya
A relatively new feature on the KwaZulu Natal North Coast, Sibaya is an all-round entertainment destination. Its distinct architectural style is a fusion of Zulu culture and contemporary styling that is doesn't impose itself on the natural habitat and the ocean views.
Indoors it's all about gaming and entertainment. All of the facilities are touched by a sense of magic. Patrons' eyes almost glaze over at the sheer variety. A number of promotions and events ensure that gamers are given every chance. Prizes are up for grabs for every member of the family – including tokens exchangeable for rewards at the kiddies' hub at the Magic Company and Video Arcade. Luxury and exclusivity are available in the Salon Privé with its expansive views. Adults can enjoy the entertainment knowing that their children are being capably minded by professional staff in a safe and fun environment.
Excitement builds in an atmosphere of celebration, with back-to-back events to keep you entertained. The centre of this is the iZulu Theatre with its ample seating and impressive Zulu-inspired architecture. The Zulu influence extends to those looking to relax at the Mangwanani Private Day Spa, where guests are pampered in a village setting, overlooking the sea.
Krakatoa Show Bar is 3 storeys of parties, and is the focal point of Sibaya's night life. End the evening off at this top-class establishment after indulging in the broad range of dining facilities that make Sibaya a food haven. Combining foods from all over the world, they pride themselves on an 'Africa to Asia' experience that is sure to tantalise any palate.
Stretching some 110km from Umhlanga to the Amatikulu River, the North Coast is as diverse as it is spectacular. The old North Coast Road is the best way to access the region. It follows the edge of the Indian Ocean, crossing the lagoons and estuaries of the Umhlanga, Umdloti, Mvoti and Tugela Rivers. It then weaves through fields of sugar cane and patches of indigenous forest.
Over the years, the North Coast has changed from a few sleepy little towns of local farmers' beach cottages to a hugely popular tourism centre. It draws hundreds of thousands of annual visitors and offers something for just about everyone.
The towns range from Zinkwazi, as relaxed and serene as anywhere on the entire South African coast, to the bustling Umhlanga with its big-town feel. In-between is Ballito, a holiday destination par excellence where tourists are welcomed and entertained. A host of other towns each have their own attractions.
As you'd expect, it is the beaches that are the biggest drawcard to the area and around which most of the action is centred.
Ballito in particular is a surfing mecca and hosts regular surfing competitions.
Other beaches all along the coast offer surfing, swimming and angling. Scuba diving, deep-sea fishing and boat trips can also be organised at most popular tourism towns, as can microlight flights.
Don't for a second think that the North Coast is simply a beach and party destination. Nature is ever-present and many of the towns are surrounded by beautiful coastal bush or are close to nature reserves. Birdwatching is excellent and diverse, while blue duiker can even be spotted from the Umhlanga promenade.
Fascinating history also pops up when you delve a little deeper. King Shaka, that South African Napoleon, once ruled from a kraal in the area of KwaDukuza. A visitor's centre, memorial and museum all celebrate and explain his life and reign. Another great Zulu man, this time a man of peace, grew up down the road in Groutville. Albert John Luthuli would later play a major part in the struggle against apartheid and would become the first African to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
The North Coast has always been the trendier part of KwaZulu-Natal's long and spectacular coastline. It's more developed, the hotels are bigger and it just feels like there is more on the go. There is an incredible amount to do, things to see and places to stay.
Mount Moreland – every year an estimated three million barn swallows spend the South African summer at a wetland on Mount Moreland, not far from the coastal town of Umdloti. From around October to April, this huge concentration of tiny birds can be viewed coming in to roost en masse. Take a few drinks or a picnic and your deckchairs and have a sundowner while this immense flock fills the sky.
King Shaka Heritage Route – King Shaka forged the Zulu nation and ultimately shaped the future of South Africa. On this route you can find out a bit more about this fascinating character. You can visit spots such as Observation Rock, from where he watched his impis train. You can also see the pool where he bathed, the site of his burial, and the tree under which he is reputed to have been assassinated.
The Gateway Shopping Centre - on the other side of the scale is Gateway, a huge shopping centre in Umhlanga that caters for absolutely everyone. Rainy days can be spent watching movies, rock-climbing, bowling, driving go-karts and much, much more. There are obviously also plenty of shops and restaurants.
The KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board – offers interesting insights into these denizens of the deep. Educational tours are held, as are regular shark dissections.
Birding – the North Coast is home to an estimated 460 bird species, including rarities such as finfoot, green twinspot, bat hawk and black coucal. It's not necessary to visit nature reserves to spot them either, although you will have better luck at places like the Zinkwazi lagoon or the Harold Johnson Nature Reserve.
Adventure – scuba diving (or learning to scuba dive) is great for family bonding. The North Coast has a number of operators who offer this. Other chances for adventure include excellent mountain biking, quadbiking, paintball and horse riding.
Microlight flights – and helicopter flips give wonderful perspectives of this long and beautiful coastline. You'll see how urban spread has affected the cane and bush, as well as just how much remains intact. Whales and dolphins are often spotted on such flights.
Dining decadence- be it high tea or a curry buffet at the sensational Oysterbox, a prawn feast at the Amatikulu Prawn Shack, or the Ballito Prawn and Jazz Festival.

I waited for the initial excitement to die down before taking the kids so that it wouldn't be so packed. We went after school on a Friday and it was perfect as the place was not crowded at all. Kate and #5 had a whale of a time there as there is just so much to explore.
Uh-oh. The two pilots ran off, along with the outfits. Oh well, we can make-believe just as well without the uniforms.
"You are my co-pilot. Must listen to my instructions ok?" "OK, gor gor!"
Blasting off into space together. So long!
We learnt how to tell the gender of the chicks. The females have a brown marking while the males are yellowish white in colour.
#5 gave me a run down on hermit crabs - on how they 'borrow' shells, and about mud skippers. I didn't know he knew so much about science!
Be prepared for them being sandy!
After more than 2 hours of playing, Kate was ready to call it a day.
"Playing is such back-breaking work!"
Sane tip: Don't forget to bring socks as some of the areas require socks to enter. They do very thorough health checks on the kids at the entrance so getting in takes a little while. You can purchase tickets either from the main Science Centre entrance or at KidsSTOP itself.
Save tip: I absolutely love this hands-on science museum! Definitely getting the membership the next time round. It's $30 for a year and you need to bring along a passport photo and a copy of the child's birthcert. Benefits of membership: 1 free admission for the child and accompanying adult. Subsequently, 30% discount off entry fees. Full benefits here.

On the days when I feel less inclined to make the effort for French toast, he'll eat mammoth bowls of oatmeal (ditto syrup preferences), or muesli, or a smoothie (bananas, yogurt, frozen blueberries, raspberries) or the occasional bowl of Cheerios. If he's growing a lot — as he seems to be, currently — he'll eat similar amounts at other meals. If his body is taking a little rest between growth spurts, breakfast may be his most substantial meal of the day.
Either way, I love watching Isaac (both my kids, in fact) eat breakfast. I love seeing him fly out the door in the mornings after eating. I don't subscribe to a whole lot of parental truisms, but one I do agree with is that little is more satisfying than seeing your child tuck into a healthy meal. Particularly breakfast. It's no secret that kids who go to school hungry have a harder time learning. And yet, according a 2011 Household Food Insecurities in Canada study, one in six Canadian children goes to half without breakfast.
One in six. That's 1.15 million children (out of nearly 4 million Canadians overall) who experience some level of food insecurity. That's one in six children in every class in Ontario already set up to lose out before the day has even begun. That's one in six kids with a headache, a growling stomach, who feels lightheaded or nauseated. One in six kids who is grouchy, unfocused, irrational, uncooperative. (You know what your kids are like when they're hungry.) One in six kids without the resources they need to take in information, sit still, pay attention, "behave," enjoy school, learn how to read or subtract. Those are kids in your children's classes. That may be your kid.
It literally makes my stomach hurt.
But here's the good news (see, Isaac, there is good news): student nutrition programs can and do help. Organizations like The Grocery Foundation are crucial. For the past three years, The Grocery Foundation has championed student nutrition in Ontario, investing $3.34 million to help programs like Breakfast for Learning achieve its mandate of providing healthy meals and snacks to children and youth across Canada. as well as supporting student nutrition programs in high-needs schools last year with a $1 million donation. The Foundation's voucher program offers schools discounts on several healthy food items, stretching limited budgets and providing school nutrition programs with greater purchasing power for fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, and whole grains. Most recently, the Grocery Foundation is working in partnership with the Ontario Student Nutrition Program Network (OSNPN), which works with agencies helping to support student nutrition across the province.
Here's more good news: high school students across the province — including Kaelyn — are mobilizing to educate their peers. A group of 11 youth ambassadors from around Ontario who will be attending Toonies for Tummies' Agents of Change Nutrition Summit — the first of its kind — in Toronto on February 8. There, they'll share their views with each other as well as representatives from industry, on how to collectively engage youth about the issues of food insecurity, and how to promote and advocate for school-based nutrition programs. Kaelyn will present her idea of holding a poster contest across Ontario, with school, city, regional and eventually provincial winning designs of posters highlighting issues of food insecurity to raise awareness.
"The biggest thing I've learned so far is that food insecurity is way more common than I thought it was," says Kaelyn. "It's in every school, in every city in every province across Canada. And people don't know about it. It's such a silent problem, but so many people have so much that if they know about it, they can give. I feel like it's a problem we can eventually, hopefully, solve. People need to be aware of it so they can help get children and youth the food they need.
"Every kid," says Kaelyn, "needs and deserves a full stomach to learn." And every parent needs and deserves that security for themselves and for their kids. Together, we can make it happen. Please donate what you can to Toonies for Tummies, and spread the word.

This is the sandwich that Rowan will not eat in his lunch today at school.
It won't matter that he ate, enthusiastically, this precise sandwich — chicken salad and lettuce packed into a whole-wheat pita — on the weekend.
Rowan will say that he likes pitas at home, but not in his lunch at school. Unless, of course, the pitas at school come from the annual Pita Day, in which sandwiches are ordered from a restaurant and you have to pay for them. Those sandwiches are edible at school. But this one won't be.
And here we are, at an impasse. Me, making the sandwich. Him, not eating it. We are partners in a complicated dance, balancing nutrients with ease of preparation, health and appeal, texture and cost, availability and variety. There's no foolproof solution: some (rare) days, he eats everything. Other days, the exact same lunch comes home untouched. And so I try, hoping that today he will eat the sandwich (and even enjoy it), girding myself for the likelihood that I will dump its uneaten remains into tonight's garbage.
This is the sandwich that Rowan will not eat in his lunch today at school. Unless, of course, he does.


The long-awaited investigative report by the Securities and Exchange Commission's Inspector General on how the SEC bungled multiple investigations of Bernard Madoff is set for release this week. Unfortunately, according to media reports, the long suffering investing public will not receive the report until the SEC itself has had a chance to review it.
This lack of Wall Street cronyism by the top two in the Inspector General's office might have been refreshing to some in Congress and compensated for their not knowing the difference between puts and calls and peaks and troughs and the intricacies of Mr. Madoff's split-strike conversion strategy (he splits with your money while converting you to a pauper). But the background of the member of the team heading up the Inspector General's Office of Investigations, J. David Fielder, should have sounded alarm bells to Congressional investigators.
"After a statute of limitations expired foreclosing further action against Mack, Berger resigned from the SEC to accept a position with a major Wall Street law firm — the same law firm which had contacted the SEC on behalf of investment bank Morgan Stanley to inquire whether Mack was exposed to any pending investigation. Berger pursued his new position as he exercised authority in the Pequot investigation and in the inquiry by Morgan Stanley.
And just what does the Madoff fraud have to do with the big firms on Wall Street? The multi billion dollar proceeds of the fraud were wired in and out of JPMorgan Chase where Madoff maintained his firm's account. Also, Madoff partnered with Citigroup's Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs to compete head on with the New York Stock Exchange in a venture called Primex Trading.

Q: How many ways Webjobs can be triggered using C#? How many ways we can trigger Azure WebJobs?
Apart from:

*

*ServiceBus

*Queue

*Blob

*Table

*Timer

I am looking to use other triggers like websites down or cpu high usage to trigger webjobs. Any suggestions?

A: There aren't built in listeners for the "management/monitoring" things like "website down" or CPU high, but you can piece together solutions.  Beware that the monitoring should be in a separate site (a site can't monitor if itself is down; a site shouldn't respond to high CPU activity by calling itself to do more work)

*

*You can always write your own listening logic that spews a queue message to a QueueTrigger (or use HttpTrigger with Azure Functions)

*You can get a lot of mileage out of polling & timers. For example, website down - you can have a webjob / Function running on a timer that pings your site and when it's down and then use techniques from #1 to trigger your job.

My guess was right, the building infront of the CBD Terminal is a hotel. While I was editing the directory of hotels in the previous blog entry, I noticed one hotel named CBD Plaza Hotel, I checked the address then poofff it was pertaining to the establishment I mentioned before.

After attending the Quo Vadis in April we went to our second convention: the MaGnology. A convention for anime, comic fans and gamers. Among other great indie developers we exhibited our recently released mobile game Super Carl and one of our brand new, soon to be released titles Bubblemon. Bubblemon was presented for the first to time to a public audience, so we were quite excited about the feedback.
Thanks to our intern Miriam we had 3 very fluffy handmade Bubblemon at our exhibition booth, we setup on Thursday.
Our first game Super Carl got a lot of players hooked. One of our highlights was our youngest and probably biggest fan: a small girl around the age of six, who played for almost an hour straight and it was nearly impossible for her mother to convince her that it was time to go home.
Even more addictive was our second game Bubblemon. The game got great feedback and had players coming back again and again for another round. We even had one visitor beating our own highscore.
Our selfmade Bubblemon puppets got quite a lot of attention as well, even if some of the visitors got bitten by Rudi.
During the breaks we had lots of funny conversations with our colleagues from Slash Games, Behind the Stone, Tiny Roar or Beardshaker and were able to make some new and very interesting business connections.
After three days, quite a lot of sessions of Bubblemon, and loads of nice visitors we have to say we had an awesome time at MaGnology and we are looking forward to be there next year again with a playable protoype of Lost Ember.


International scientists say they now have a 'near-perfect' picture of the genetic events that cause breast cancer, a disease affecting one in eight Australian women.
The study, published in the renowned journal Nature, has generated attention across the globe, proving that researchers can remain hopeful and determined about their research into the prevention and treatment of this heartbreaking disease.
A/Prof Wendy Ingnam says this recent finding confirms her and her breast cancer research team are on the right track.
Associate Professor Wendy Ingman, who supported by Australian Breast Cancer Research leads the Breast Biology and Cancer Unit at the Basil Hetzel Institute for Translational Health Research, says these findings are good news for breast cancer researchers, confirming they are on the right track.
"The paper published in Nature by Nik-Zainal et al has used an approach called whole genome sequencing to study the driver mutations that lead to breast cancer," A/Prof Ingman said.
"Breast cancer develops when there are mutations in genes due to carcinogen (a substance that causes cancer in the body) exposure leading to DNA damage. It can also develop when there are errors in DNA replication, but these mutations can occur quite randomly.
"In many genes, mutations can occur which have no impact, but mutation in some genes can lead to cancer," she said.
A/Prof Ingman explained that when gene mutations in a patient are studied, there are usually many mutations in different genes and some of these are "drivers" of breast cancer while most are "passengers". These drivers and passengers are very difficult to separate.
The study published in Nature is a comprehensive study, using breast cancer samples from 560 patients.
"The size of the study has enabled the researchers to separate out the drivers from the passengers and they have found 93 driver mutations. All but five of these were already known to researchers as driver mutations," A/Prof Ingman explained.
A/Prof Ingman says a tailored approach to treating breast cancer based on targeting the specific genes that drive that cancer is required to improve survival rates.

Builder appointed for Valkstone Primary School stage two upgrade
Students at Valkstone Primary School are a step closer to having the facilities they deserve, with construction on a $3.72 million upgrade due to get underway shortly.
State Member for Bentleigh Nick Staikos today announced that Newpol Construction P/L has been awarded the construction contract.
The next stage of upgrades will include the construction of new classrooms and upgrading of existing classrooms. It will also feature the modernisation of the school's library and art room and computer pods. This includes the construction of a new learning area in Block B and refurbishing the eastern part of the school's Block A building.
The project is part of a $2.5 billion investment by the Andrews Labor Government to improve classrooms, upgrade facilities and build new schools across the state.
This school building boom has created more than 1,000 school upgrades and 56 new school projects across the state, supporting almost 5000 construction jobs to ensure all Victorian families have access to a great school no matter where they live.
To find out more about new schools and upgrades to schools in our local area visit the Victorian School Building Authority website at www.schoolbuildings.vic.gov.au.
Quotes attributable to State Member for Bentleigh Nick Staikos
"These are exciting times for Valkstone Primary School and I have been proud to work so closely with the school council and principal to secure the funding for this project."
"Valkstone will finally have the modern facilities they deserve to better meet the needs of students and teachers."
Quotes attributable to Minister for Education James Merlino
"A high-quality education system must be matched by high-quality learning environments where students are engaged, stimulated and encouraged to be creative thinkers."
"We are making a record investment in school infrastructure to ensure that all Victorian students have the opportunity get a first class education that will help them on their path to a great career."

Red is undoubtedly the color of Christmas, usually combined with pine greens, sweet browns and lots of sparkles. I wouldn't say no to some pure and simple red and white decoration, however, as it looks totally stylish and straight to the point. I already have the white tree, maybe I should change my golden ornaments for some red ones this year!
P.s. If you like this combination then you should not miss this moodboard.
4 comments on "Christmas in red and white"
I always use red for Christmas decor but this year I'm going to try white, neutral tones and green. I think it could be really nice.


Charles Oliver Murray (1842–1923) was a Scottish engraver.
