It's interesting, the way we casually adopt flower metaphors into our culture and language. Even those of us with no knowledge of, or interest in, poetry engage with blossoms as metaphors without a second thought. We buy flowers to say 'sorry', 'congratulations', 'hello', or to put on a grave as a mark of love or respect. Each November, we buy millions of poppies – real and manufactured – to acknowledge the dead of two World Wars (and more). A country's youth might be referred to as its 'flower' – 'Flower of Scotland' for example; we might refer to something or someone young and vigorous as in 'full bloom' or 'blooming' or 'blossoming'; conversely, drooping sunflowers, with their (approximate) look of a human figure with its head hanging down, are sometimes used as a symbol of illness or death. So it is not just the bloom itself that has meaning, but also its condition. Flowers, with their rapid life cycle, become for us a distillation of the longer, but still sadly short, cycle of human life.
And, of course, all of this finds its way into literature in countless ways. The flowers here – dried-up leftovers from a wedding – put one in mind of the gothic darkness of Miss Havisham's wedding breakfast, from Charles Dickens' Great Expectations (1861). For those who don't remember the tale, Miss Havisham was jilted at the altar, and decades later she had still never taken off her wedding dress, and the wedding breakfast, complete with cake, was still untouched from the day it was set out and was rotting away under layers of dust and cobwebs. The wedding these flowers are from was a successfully conducted one – a happy affair – but nevertheless, the flowers have had their day and taken on new characteristics.
I was also put in mind of another piece of literature: Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil - 1857). Controversial at the time, this is a collection of poems which describe the author's disgust at the effects of modernisation on 19th century Paris. The works highlight prostitution, crime, gambling, sickness, anonymity and estrangement. As a body of work, the collection still has influence, providing song and album titles for contemporary rock acts, for example Marilyn Manson's The Flowers of Evil from the album Born Villain (2012) and Therion's album Les Fleurs du Mal (2012).
The photograph itself was taken using a ring flash, to get that concentration of light at the centre. As a genre of photography, it might bear a relationship to product photography, though clearly no-one would wish to sell their products with such an image as its symbol. Such a photograph might have a use, however, for a record or book cover, where a dark visual metaphor might be highly appropriate.


In Ireland, homeowners can pay up to 31% of their after-tax income on their mortgage, and the situation is worse if you are a single-person mortgage holder. That's according to figures released by AIB mortgage brand EBS and DKMEconomic Consultants last month.
Ireland's rural population has increased by just over 19%in the past 20 years, according to Teagasc, the state research body for the food and agriculture sector. A study, carried out by Dr David Meredith, senior researcher at Teagasc, looked at rural Ireland —its economy and where people are going to live. Media reports tend to focus on specific components of population decline, especially the headlinegrabbing "Can't even field a GAA team" line, which focuses on young men. Populations comprise more than young men, however, and increases can be found in other age categories, such as the over-55s.
In 1895, the French polymath Gustave Le Bon published his seminal work, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, on the behaviour and danger of crowds. For decades after, Le Bon's theories influenced generations of politicians and their policies. Le Bon was influential at a time of rapid urbanisation, social upheaval and worker organisation. Social order was under threat and it was feared that "the masses" might break with patriarchy, social order and religion.
Over the past couple of years I have made a concerted effort not to use the phrase "housing crisis", and I've been doing quite well, too. Recently, however, I have been using the dreaded phrase more often than I like. I don't like the word "crisis" because it often gets abused, and although I'm talking about housing here, the same point can be applied to many economic and social problems and solutions.
Over the last few weeks, political feelers have gone out to test the likely response to a grant for first-time buyers. Perhaps surprisingly for the government, the reaction has not been totally positive. The broad idea is that first-time buyers would get a lump sum payment, or other credit, of between €5,000 and €15,000 to help them to meet newmortgage lending thresholds, depending on the price of the house they are buying, perhaps up to €350,000.
Housing is a many-headed beast with elements of technology, planning, finance, sociology and of course, politics. At its core, however, it is a simple thing: buildings for people and this is why it's crucial to keep an eye on our population statistics. Preliminary results fromthe recent census are throwing up some interesting figures, all of which have implications for where we should be focusing our efforts to build housing. The location of our empty houses should have told us by nowthat there's little point in building homes where there's no demand for them.
Last week, Dublin city council (DCC) resolved a dispute with its own councillors over the regeneration of O'Devaney Gardens, a council estate behind Arbour Hill in Dublin. Named after Bishop O'Devaney, who was hanged at Arbour Hill in 1612 as a friend of Tyrone rebel chief Hugh O'Neill, O'Devaney Gardens is a 1950s corporation-built estate of 300 flats in 12 (originally 13) blocks.
I recently undertook a 6,000km road trip that began in Glenties, in Co Donegal, and went as far as Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, before returning home via Trieste in Italy. During the trip the housing similarities and challenges that many European countries face became evident.
Journalist Mick Clifford recently questioned the will and ability of any new government to solve the housing crisis. It's a legitimate question as governments get caught between the needs of the electorate—more and cheaper housing—and those of the economy, and in particular the banks—higher house prices to pass European Central Bank stress tests.
The rights and obligations that go with property ownership are important issues in any country trying to control its housing stock, resolve a housing crisis or create a functioning system. The concept of ownership is not clear cut: there is common ownership, as seen on the pampas and prairies, and in the outback; shared ownership, in India and China; temporal ownership, in medieval France and now Catalonia; and subservient ownership, where the Earth belongs only to its creator.
The private rented sector in Ireland accommodates 705,000 people in 324,000 tenancies—in properties owned by 172,000 registered landlords. In the past 18 months alone there has been an increase of 12,000 registered landlords.
Much debate about housing has centred on proposed solutions such as the Central Bank's lending limits and a reduction in VAT for developers. The Department of the Environment's contribution managed to bypass the democratic process, ignore its own civil service rules, then introduce newmandatory smaller apartment sizes, which, it said, would bring down costs and stimulate development. Of course, such a crude move did no such thing—just as reducing VAT for developers and lifting bank lending ratios for lenders will not create an affordable housing system. These "solutions" are like Nero fiddling as Rome burned behind him.
A few weeks ago, I attended the Association for Law, Property and Society conference in Belfast. This event is normally held in America, so neither the US participants nor I knew the city. It was time for an experiment and, at £115 (€148) for a central two-bedroom apartment, Airbnb was cheaper than a hotel.
Two weeks ago I was in what remains of O'Devaney Gardens, the social housing complex off Dublin's North Circular Road, filming a programme with RTE. O'Devaney Gardens,behind Dublin's Arbour Hill Prison, was built in the early 1950s, and named after a Bishop O'Devaney, a friend of 16th-century resistance leader Hugh O'Neill. O'Devaney was hanged in 1612 in the Arbour Hill area for treason . In recognition of his greatness, three centuries later 13 blocks of flats were named after him.
Over the past 10 years or so, civil service and local authority staffing levels have been dramatically reduced. Those who retired have not been replaced, and other employees have left for the private sector or have taken early retirement because they were unhappy with pay cuts and changes to their contracts.
Now that a new minority administration is here, it's time to look at ways this government can improve on previous ones. One positive step could be to take on board the findings of a recent EU report on procurement practices. Entitled "public procurement—a study on administrative capacity in the EU", it looks at the systems and structures of individual member states.
Inspection of buildings by the state during construction and on completion has led to a huge gap in Ireland's building history. An almost total lack of state inspection—and, since 1990, a reliance on self-regulation —has contributed to situations such as those at Priory Hall in Dublin and Millfield Manor in Kildare.
In the 2015 book Rule Breakers, author Niamh Hourigan postulates that Ireland's success and downfall was due to personal relationships being much more important than rules. She says that a "weak rules and strong relationships" tension permeates Irish life, and not only at the top. This seems to have led to Ireland having a reputation of being friendly and open, and an easy place in which to do business. It has also created a place where corruption has been far too easy and widespread as a result of the power and influence of relationships.
On March 31 acting environment minister Alan Kelly assembled the third housing and homeless forum in two years. It brought together housing NGOs, Nama, local authorities and bodies such as the Central Bank and Construction Industry Federation, as well as TDs from all political parties. The forum was interesting for a few reasons. First, the issues facing housing haven't changed in the past 24 months. If anything, they've intensified, but the underlying problems remain the same. Second, the participant responses will have been mainly the same, too, although also intensified. So why have such an event?
As an increasing number of people find permanent homes in the private rental sector, issues of contention between landlords and tenants will be more frequent. Right nowabout 3% of the population has the legal right to evict more than 20% of households, and so security of tenure will become a key area of debate and discussion. The issue must be addressed, unless government is happy for a significant proportion of its population to exist at the whim of a much smaller percentage, and is willing to deal with the social, health and economic fallout from that.

I had always thought damascus was a fictional material, I was rather surprised when I came across that article.


The Front AC on my coach has started acting up. The thermostat lights will flicker, then the low power will blink, then the unit resets. I'm on pedestal power and have a 50 AMP autoformer (in theory should handle power sags). I have confirmed that the problem happens on generator as well - it even makes the generator stumble for a second when it happens.
I haven't checked the contactors yet, but I have always had a little buzzing coming from the closet so I'm thinking that the contactors may be issue. What I don't know is how to actually test the contactors? Or do you think that I should be looking for the problem somewhere else?
Since it's pretty easy, I think I would first try a thermostat from a working AC unit just to make sure you don't have a bad thermostat.
Next I would probably check voltage on the output of the relay that supplies power to the front AC. My AC relays are under the carpeted floor of the mirrored closet that goes across the back of our 91 WB - not sure where yours are.
Loading down the generator could possibly be a sign of a capacitor problem on the roof top unit causing excess starting current.
I agree it is prob compressor start. Watch the ac amp meter when the fan and then compressor kicks on. The reaction should be the same as the average of the other two as a base. Check the transfer switch especially the neutral wire jacket for heat issues and compramise. Harbor freight has clamp on amp meters at a reasonable price you could use one ontop to check amp drag. While ontop, have a look at the capacitors and a look at the heating elements to make sure they are not turning on at the same time.
Note that not every clamp on amp reader does dc amps. Even if the meter reads dc amps you need to check if the clampon feature is ac dc.
Not really what I was hoping to hear, but it is 25 years old.
So your thinking the compressor itself, not the compressor start capacitor right?
I did try swapping the start capacitors from a different unit and there was no change. I'll have to check the AC AMP draw, need a clamp meter.
Is itone control thermostat for all 3 ac's. And doesit use dip addresses and pbome cable clips?
Nope I have a separate thermostat for each AC.
Quick internet search and it looks like they are rare now.
Not sure what parts are muffed. if you put the old t-stat in the back and it does not work that may prove completely. some time moving those things around causes intermittent issues.
If you have phone cable snap cables, keep in mind the female couplings are reversing or passing. and the wires colors are also reversing or passing.
Dometic customer service is also very helpful and responsive on the phone.

Buccaneers WR Cole Beasley retires 2 weeks after signing with Tampa Bay
By Tyler Greenawalt, Yahoo Sports

NFL: OCT 02 Chiefs at Buccaneers TAMPA, FL - OCTOBER 02: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wide Receiver Cole Beasley (15) returns a punt during a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 02, 2022, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL. (Photo by Roy K. Miller/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)
Cole Beasley is calling it a career.
The veteran wideout retired Wednesday after 11 seasons, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo. Beasley, 33, had signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad just 14 days ago.
"He is ready to be with his family after playing in 11 seasons," Beasley's agents told Pelissero and Garafolo, "and it's time to be a full time dad and husband."
Beasley played two games for the receiver-depleted Buccaneers this year and caught four of his five targets for 17 yards in 13 total offensive snaps. Prior to joining the Buccaneers, Beasley played three years with the Buffalo Bills and seven with the Dallas Cowboys after going undrafted in 2012.
Beasley made league-wide news in 2021 for being outspokenly against the NFL's COVID-19 vaccine policies. He talked about leaving the NFL over the protocols and engaged in multiple Twitter arguments over the subject. That season, Beasley was fined upwards of $100,000 total for multiple COVID-19 protocol violations with the Bills, according to ESPN, and he missed one game after being a close contact with a Bills staff member who tested positive but was vaccinated.
He'll finish his NFL career with 554 career receptions for 5,726 receiving yards and 34 receiving touchdowns. Beasley was known primarily as a reliable slot receiver who had a career catch rate of 71 percent. He also averaged 7.3 yards per target.

A good vintage... Is Berlin the hippest city in the world right now? We at Original Travel think it might just be. There's obviously history and culture galore, but what really sets the German capital apart is the creative vibe. The clubbing scene might be a little too techno/industrial for all tastes, but there's no denying the clubs themselves are achingly cool. There's also a community of excellent contemporary artists working across various media, and a feeling that the city is the hub of so much invention at the moment.
Where there are influential types, they need somewhere to hang out, which has lead to the fast increasing number of happening hotels and bars springing up, with those arbiters of all things cool - the Soho House group - at the fore. Soho House Berlin is as immaculate and tasteful as you'd expect, but a different vibe that is quintessential Berlin is the eclectic mix-matching of styles and genres of furniture in some of the lower key lounge bars.
Mitte, in old East Berlin, is the epicentre of all that's in in Berlin, with its studied communist era look-and-feel bars and boutiques selling vintage clothing and furniture. So, if you fancy shopping in Berlin. and you don't think you can live another day without an old Bauhaus desk lamp or pair of vintage leather boots, this is the place to head.


Neil Forbes of the University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a 4-year grant of over US$1 mln from the National Institutes of Health to research killing cancer tumours with Salmonella bacteria.
According to News-Medical, Forbes turns the bacteria into tiny terminator robots that use their own flagella to venture deep into tumours where conventional chemotherapy can apparently not reach. Once in place, the bacteria manufacture drugs that trigger cancer cells to kill themselves.
"When we get the Salmonella bacteria into the part of the tumour where we want them to be, we've programmed them to go ape," says Forbes. "We have the bacteria release a drug to trigger a receptor in cancer cells called the "death receptor," which induces cancer cells to kill themselves. We've already done this in the lab. We've done this successfully in cancerous mice, and it dramatically increases their survival rate."
Bacteria naturally seek out dead tissue for food by using sensors that home in on chemicals such as ribose, given off by dying cells. But Forbes doesn't want his Salmonella robots going to the dead cancer cells already killed off by chemotherapy. He wants them penetrating to the slow-growing, but live, cancer cells. So his solution is to remove the ribose sensor from Salmonella.
"By knocking out the ribose receptor, we can keep the bacteria away from dead cells, where we don't need them to go, but get them to travel into slow-growing cells located in hard-to-reach tissue far from blood vessels," says Forbes.

(1951- ) Canadian musician and writer – born in the Netherlands to parents who emigrated to Canada when he was four months old – who began to publish work of genre interest with "The Fane of the Gray Rose" in Swords Against Darkness IV (anth 1979) ed Andrew J Offutt, and who has become the most significant, and almost certainly the most prolific, Canadian fantasy author. Especially in early years, he published stories as by Tanuki Aki, Henri Cuiscard, Jan Penalurick, Cerin Songweaver and Wendelessen; as Samuel M Key he has published three Horror novels, Angel of Darkness (1990), From a Whisper to a Scream (1992) and I'll Be Watching You (1994).
CDL's first book, released like several other short texts through his own Triskell Press, was The Oak King's Daughter (1979 chap), which began the loosely connected Tales of Cerin Songweaver sequence; further volumes, which with increasing proficiency articulated relationships between Story and the (Celtic) Music which evokes it, include A Pattern of Silver Strings: A Tale of Cerin Songweaver (1981 chap), Glass Eyes and Cotton Strings (1982 chap), In Mask and Motley (1983 chap), Laughter in the Leaves (1984 chap), The Badger in the Bag (1985 chap), The Harp of the Grey Rose (1979 as "The Fane of The Gray Rose"; exp 1985 US), And the Rafters Were Ringing (1986 chap) and The Lark in the Morning (1987 chap). After The Calendar of Trees (1984 chap) illus Donna Gordon, a long poem about Trees cast in an Anglo-Saxon Riddle mode, CDL published his first full-length book, The Riddle of the Wren (1984 US), a fantasy set mostly in a Secondary World though accessible from this world through the conventional Portal, and derivative of J R R Tolkien. CDL has since then generally eschewed full and untrammelled secondary-world settings. From Moonheart: A Romance (1984 US) onwards, most of CDL's novels have been Contemporary Fantasies, usually set in Ottawa (> City; Urban Fantasy) and other Ontario locations, into which mundanity are woven (> Crosshatch) Celtic-tinged Otherworlds (> Celtic Fantasy). Moonheart, along with some associated tales – Ascian in Rose (1987 chap US), Westlin Wind (1989 chap US), Ghostwood (1990 US) and Merlin Dreams in the Mondream Wood (1990 Pulphouse: 1992 chap), all four assembled as Spiritwalk (omni 1992 US) – is set in an Ottawa crosshatched into an otherworld itself intricately interpenetrated by fleshly manifestations of various mythological traditions (> Mythago). The novel, which involves complex interactions between its female protagonist and various Native American and Celtic mythagoes, is dominated by Tamson House, a large Edifice which surrounds a Garden at whose heart grows a version of the World-Tree; Tamson House serves as a Portal to and from a variety of otherworlds, and features also in all the tales assembled in Spiritwalk.
In Yarrow: An Autumn Tale (1986 US) the work-engendering Dreams of a fantasy writer from Ottawa are stolen by a vampiric dream-thief; she must consequently undertake a Quest, with some help from her friends, into the otherworld to gain back her creative juices. Jack, the Giant-Killer (1987 US) makes up part of Terri Windling's series of Twice-Told fairytales, and exposes Jacky Rowan (a female Jack from Ottawa) to adventures in Faerie, in all of which she enjoys a Trickster's expected success. Its sequel, Drink Down the Moon (1990), is not part of Windling's series. Both volumes are assembled as Jack of Kinrowan (omni 1995). Greenmantle (1988), the last important book from CDL's early career, once again takes place in contemporary Ontario, this time crosshatched with a wild Forest that houses a "stagman" intermittently drawn into the mundane world by Music.
Prolific, and suffering a tendency to put nearly indistinguishable protagonists through storylines themselves often very similar, CDL has written weak books; but two novels of the early 1990s represent a growing sureness with his material. The Little Country (1991) complexly interweaves storylines set in a mundane Cornwall and in a turn-of-the-century Land-of-Fable version of the English county; these two Cornwalls, and the intricate plot which connects them, are comprehended (i.e., narrated) through the act of reading various texts (> Books) composed by the late William Dunthorn, author of The Hidden People (about a Wainscot race known as the Smalls), The Lost Music (in which music is seen to have engendered the Story of the world) and The Little Country (which tells the intersecting tale of Cornwall as a land of fable).
Memory and Dream (1994 US) is set in the imaginary City of Newford, which resembles Ottawa, and serves as the setting for several Urban-Fantasy tales. Uncle Dobbin's Parrot Fair (1987 IASFM; 1991 chap US), The Stone Drum (1989 chap), Ghosts of Wind and Shadow (1990 chap), Paperjack (1991 chap US) and Our Lady of the Harbour (1991 chap US) are all assembled with other work as Dreams Underfoot: The Newford Collection (omni 1993 US); and Mr Truepenny's Book Emporium and Gallery (1992 chap US), The Bone Woman (1992 chap), The Wishing Well (1993 chap US) and Coyote Stories (1993 chap), are all assembled with other work as The Ivory and the Horn: A Newford Collection (omni 1995 US). In the original novel a successful painter – whose personality and work CDL expertly expounds – turns out to be capable through her art of creating mythagoes, who have a cruelly mixed effect upon the world.

India – A fast growing economy to be watched closely
The Indian economy is surging, a giant middle class is becoming wealthier and the paper industry is investing. Will growth in tissue be next?
India has been getting more and more attention in recent years as numerous experts and commentators predict that this immense country with a population of over 1.1 billion people is about to come of age. The second most populous country on Earth, and the world's largest democracy, India's modern history is most often considered to have begun in 1947 when it emerged from over 160 years of colonial rule under the British Empire.
However, a recent report on the surging Indian economy by New York-based financial analysts Goldman Sachs points out that "on the eve of the Industrial Revolution (around 1770), India was the second-largest economy in the world, contributing more than 20% of total world output. By the 1970s, after two centuries of relative economic stagnation, that share had fallen to 3%, the lowest in its recorded history. From a long-term perspective, the post-industrial economic decline of India is an historical deviation, driven to some extent by a lack of openness."
After independence in 1947, India was fairly isolated and followed state-interventionist policies filled with complex regulations which severely restricted trade and economic freedom. The result was decades of stagnation and low growth. However, starting in 1991, when economic reforms were introduced, the Indian economy has moved to a higher growth plane and India has begun to play catch-up, becoming more integrated in the global economy. Growth since 1991 has been about 6% per annum and in the last 5 years it has been approaching 9%.
SERVICES BASED ON EDUCATION. As opposed to China, India's growth is coming more from the service sector than the manufacturing industries. Most recently, the country has seen an IT boom, in part due to the liberalized economy and also to the incredible human resources and educational system in the country.
Many say that India's competitive edge is its highly skilled manpower. There are over 330 universities comprising 16,000 colleges and 1,500 research institutions in India. Every year this network produces an incredible 9,000 PhDs, 125,000 engineering graduates, 450,000 post graduates from non-engineering colleges, and nearly two million other graduates.
This flow of educated youth has helped to fuel the IT boom in India as the supply of knowledge workers in the software industry has increased from 56,000 in 1990-91 to 650,000 in 2003 and will reach two million this year.
INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY SET FOR GROWTH. Speaking at the Senior Management Symposium at Asian Paper 2008 held recently in Bangkok, Mr. R. R. Vederah, Managing Director of India's largest paper producer, Ballapur Industries, told the 160 high-level delegates that the Indian Economy is on "the fulcrum of an increasing growth curve."
There is no doubt, he said, that from 1991 onwards when the economic reforms were introduced, the Indian economy has benefited greatly. This was the second significant break in the Indian economy, the first one being in early 1980's when the economy moved from what has been commonly described as "the Hindu Growth Rate" of around 3.5% to 5.5%. Based on the growth of close to 9% in the last five years, it is predicted by some experts that by 2025 India could emerge as a third pole in global economy after the USA and China.
Among the many positive indicators are 2007-08 exports estimated at USD 150 billion, and an 18% projected growth rate for exports. The country's foreign exchange reserves are now USD 300 billion and the Rupee is steadily gaining strength against the US dollar. Perhaps most important of all, there are very promising consumer markets developing based on a middle class estimated at 350 million people that are aspiring for higher standards of living.
Recent reforms have included a rationalization of the tax structure – both direct and indirect; progressive reduction in peak rates of duties; Value Added Tax introduced from April, 2005 and the Rupee has been made fully convertible on trade accounts.
However, said Vederah, further reforms, especially with respect to labor flexibility and the financial sector, need to be pushed through rapidly if the high economic growth rate is to be sustained.
CHALLENGES FOR THE INDUSTRY. So what does this mean for the paper and board industry? The Indian Paper, Board and Newsprint industry is today very fragmented with more than 550 mills manufacturing 7.4 million tons of paper, board and newsprint.
In general, the Indian pulp and paper industry is experiencing the positive impact of a robust economic growth. Overall paper consumption in India has reached 8.5 million tons, making it an interesting market, poised for a major growth phase. Increasing demand for paper brings with it new challenges of economies of scale, efficient usage of resources, the need to develop and expand sustainable use of fiber, value chain management, etc. Thus there is a growing need to modernize the Indian mills, improve productivity and build new capacities.
PRINTING/WRITING AND PACKAGING GROWING MOST. Amongst all the segments, Printing & Writing and Containerboard (packaging grades) are expected to grow at a much higher rate compared to other segments. According to UK consultants Hawkins Wright, the total demand for these grades will grow from 8.4 million tons to 12.9 million tons in the period 2007-2012.
In 2007, the demand for uncoated woodfree papers was estimated at 2.9 million tons, out of which around 1.4 million tons is 'Creamwove', a lower grade of paper used in school text books.
Demand of UWF papers, excluding Creamwove, is expected to grow at a rate of 14% while Creamwove will grow at a much lower rate of 4% for the next 5 years.
In 2007, the demand for coated woodfree paper was estimated at 345,000 tons. Almost 90,000 tons per year of imports are coming from China while the balance comes from Europe and other South East Asia countries. Demand of CWF papers is expected to grow at a rate of 15% for the next 5 years.
The major growth drivers that are expected to take the Indian Paper Industry to new heights in the coming years are economic growth, increasing literacy rate and increased government spending on education, population growth, increased living standards, demand for high-quality magazines, increase in advertising and direct mailers, and an increase in multi-color printing and Printing Publishing Outsourcing.
TISSUE – JUST GETTING STARTED. The story is a bit different for tissue as it is hard to predict where the tissue industry in India is headed. Indications are clear that tissue production and consumption will rise rapidly in India, but just how rapidly is not easy to pinpoint.
Total tissue produced in 2007 amounted to an incredibly small 55,000 tons, while imports of jumbo rolls are estimated at 5,000 tons. On top of this, an estimated USD 40 million worth of converted tissue products were imported. These figures suggest that tissue demand accounted for less than 1% of total paper & board demand in India last year, compared with 8% in the USA and 6% in China.
To get a bit better picture of what is happening in the Indian tissue business, our consultant editor Hugh O'Brian recently spoke with several Indian tissue companies about their expansion plans. His reports are presented in the following pages.
India: Lots of potential, but when will it happen?
Perini Journal visited India recently to find out what is happening in the tissue market there. This resulted in the two articles which follow: one about Century Tissue and the other on Pudumjee. We were also hoping to visit Orient Paper Mills, which is installing a new Toscotec tissue machine, but due to busy schedules the company was not available.
We did however have contact with Mr. M. L. Pachisia, Managing Director, to learn a bit more about that project.
He told us that Orient is currently producing approximately 9,000 tons per year of tissue paper, both soft as well as hard MG grades. It is progressively increasing the proportion of soft tissue. As far as the new machine, said Paschia, "We are installing the new Toscotec machine, which can make 57 tons per day of high-quality tissue, and we expect to commission it towards the end of this calendar year. In addition, we are planning to set up converting facilities for napkins, toilet rolls and toweling."
The company does not today have any converting operations, instead it sells jumbo rolls to other converters around the country. Orient estimates that the Indian market for tissue is today around 30,000 tons but is growing at almost 20% per year. Of this market, roughly 50% is soft tissue and 50% is hard MG tissue.
During the visit, we also spoke briefly with BILT (Ballarpur Industries Ltd.) which is presently only in the tissue market in a small way through its recently introduced brands, Etiquette and Spruce Up, which are mainly made through outside converters. It does not, at this time, make any soft tissue paper grades but is examining ways to enter the sector with a base paper machine.
Converting investments may also be coming. One factor that makes it easier to enter the market is the recent lifting of a ban, designed to protect small 'cottage' industries, for investments in converting equipment costing more that 1 crore (around USD 235,000).
Mr. R. R. Vederah, BILT's Managing Director, said that the company is keen to enter the tissue sector but wants to get a clear picture of the supply and demand balance in the country before investing. As you will read in the following articles, it is evident that there are many, often diverging, opinions about the size of the Indian tissue market.

Q: How to make a specific Column Uneditable In datagridview? Using a DataGridView, how can I make a specific column uneditable while the grid view itself has "Allow editing" enabled?
Also, how can I execute an event when the selected index in a ComboBox in the DataGridView has changed? Here, ComboBox is a column type.
Another question is, how can I make the header title aligned to the center? I can't find the appropriate property.

A: You've got a few questions here.

(1) How can I make a specific column uneditable in DataGridView?

Set the ReadOnly flag on the particular column you want to make uneditable.
dataGridView.Columns["YourColumnName"].ReadOnly = true;

(2) How can I execute an event when the selected index on a ComboBox in the DataGridView changes?

If it's in your DataGridView, it's not a ComboBox; it's a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. According to MSDN:

Unlike the ComboBox control, the DataGridViewComboBoxCell does not have SelectedIndex and SelectedValue properties. Instead, selecting a value from a drop-down list sets the cell Value property.

This one I'm not familiar with, as I've never tried it myself. It appears you want to subscribe to the EditingControlShowing event and then see if something like this works for you (with a little tweaking).

(3) How can I make the header title align in the center?

Set the HeaderCell.Style.Alignment
dataGridView.Columns["YourColumnName"].HeaderCell.Style.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

Description This function will find edges on the input image by the Marr-Hildreth edge detection method. This function works for 8 and 24 bit per pixel images. Marr-Hildreth edge-detection first filters the image with the Laplacian of the Gaussian filter matrix, wich is computed by the standard deviation value input. The value of standard deviation determines the width of the filter matrix, and controls the amount of smoothing produced by the Gaussian component. The Laplacian of the Gaussian filtering will smooth the image and enhance the edges. After filtering edge localization is processed by finding zero crossings at each pixel for all directions.
The original 500 x 400 pixel image and the Marr-Hildreth edge detected image with fSTDV = 2.0, bStirctEdge = TRUE and bMeanGauss = FALSE parameter values.
fSTDV double Standard deviation value. The value of standard deviation determines the width of the filter matrix, and controls the amount of smoothing produced by the Gaussian component. STDV cannot be less than 0. See the description and examples above for further information and a possible value.
bStrictEdge BOOL This parameter specifies the strictness of edge detection. If it's TRUE, less but stronger edges will be found. It's important that in case of strict edges, it can be possible that no edges will be appeared. If does, choose a larger STDV value.
bMeanGauss BOOL If this parameter is turned on, a smoothed Gaussian kernel will be used during the convolution, and less edges will be found, but a cleaner image will be produced.

Q: For which values of $r$ the sequence $nr^n$ converges? We have the sequence
$$nr^n$$
and we want to find the values of $r$ such that $nr^n$ converges. What I did:
for $|r|<1$ we have $r = \frac{1}{k}$ where $k>1$ or $k<-1$ so:
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} nr^n = \lim_{n\to\infty}  n\frac{1}{k^n}$$
but $k^n > n^2$ for large values of $n$ (because $|k|>1$), so:
$$k^n > n^2 \implies \frac{1}{k^n}<\frac{1}{n^2}\implies 0<\frac{n}{k^n}<\frac{1}{n} = 0$$
so the sequence converges. Am I rigth? Therefore I'm only left to show that the sequence diverges for $|r|$>1?

Provinces ink Muskrat Falls hydro agreement
Contracts signed Tuesday between Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia were cast as a step toward the proposed multi billion dollar Muskrat Falls hydro project despite big questions on costs and rate hikes.
Sue Bailey Aug 1, 2012 1:00 AM
Newfoundland Crown corporation Nalcor Energy and private Nova Scotia utility Emera Inc. signed the 13 deals spanning 50 years based on a term sheet announced with fanfare in November 2010. They include 1,500 pages of legal detail nailed down over 20 months and two missed self-imposed deadlines.
The plan to harness power from the lower Churchill River in Labrador before transmitting it to Newfoundland and then Nova Scotia using subsea cables is expected to top $6.2 billion. But updated costs that were expected two weeks ago weren't yet complete Tuesday as the formal agreements were signed. Those details are now expected later this summer or fall before politicians in Newfoundland and Labrador debate the development and the Progressive Conservative government decides whether to go ahead.
Still, Newfoundland and Labrador Natural Resources Minister Jerome Kennedy said he believes Muskrat Falls will be the cheapest solution for his province's energy needs with the added potential of selling excess power to the Maritimes and New England. He said a power gateway through Nova Scotia is also the answer to transmission blocks put up by Quebec.
"We will finally be able to escape the geographical stranglehold that Quebec has had us in for almost 50 years," Kennedy told a news conference alongside his Nova Scotia counterpart in St. John's.
"It means in addition to simply having a transmission route, we can finally secure a competitive price for our power. It means we can finally move forward with our vision of unleashing the power of Newfoundland and Labrador's energy warehouse."
Kennedy said successive governments have tried to work with Quebec since the signing of a woefully lopsided deal on the Upper Churchill hydro site in Labrador. The 1969 agreement to ship power from Labrador to Quebec for sale has reaped about $20 billion in profits for Quebec, versus $1 billion for Newfoundland and Labrador, Kennedy said. The deal did not reflect rising energy values and does not expire until 2041.
Nova Scotia Energy Minister Charlie Parker called Muskrat Falls a "gamechanging project" that will help wean his province off coal while creating jobs.
In exchange for funding a subsea link between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and providing transmission rights, Parker said his province will get 20 per cent of Muskrat Falls power for 35 years. After that, Nalcor assumes ownership of the Maritime link.
Nova Scotia will get extra power from the Maritime link over the first five years of that 35-year period - slightly less than 25 per cent of Muskrat Falls energy - to reflect the project's 50-year life span, said Nalcor president and CEO Ed Martin.
Overall, Nova Scotia's share of the 824 megawatts to be produced at Muskrat Falls starting in 2017 is expected to meet between about 10 and 30 per cent of the province's needs depending on demand.
Newfoundland and Labrador is expected to need about 40 per cent, with the rest available for sale in the Maritimes and New England. A big question is how much that power will cost and whether it will be competitive as new sources of natural gas transform U.S. energy markets.
Gordon Weil, former director of the Maine energy office who led the national group of state energy agencies, said prices in New England are dropping thanks to shale gas supplies that will likely last for decades.

Thinking Again
5) Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Volumes 1 and 2 (10 Rock Albums That Made My Sense of Music What It Is)
10 (Rock) Albums That Made My Sense of Music What It Is
5) Bob Dylan, Greatest Hits Volume 1 and Volume 2
I'm listing these two as one entry because that's how they feel to me.
I don't seem to have my copy of Dylan's Greatest Hits Volume 1 anymore. I guess at some point the record seemed no longer necessary to keep, although I've kept volume 2, maybe because the song sequencing on it is really great. Obviously, I moved past these records to his actual original albums soon enough, but these albums really helped define Dylan's work for me when I first came to love it. They're also good reminders that as excellent as some of Dylan's albums are, he's especially impressive on specific, unforgettable songs.
Dylan was a musician my father recognized, mostly as a cultural icon. My parents' collection of only a few records included work by Peter, Paul, and Mary, and maybe a Pete Seeger album, and a few classical records. My mother was fond of watching and listening to the Nutcracker around Christmas.
My father, a licensed minister who had become a professor, participated in the Civil Rights Movement and marched with Martin Luther King on several occasions. The church I was brought up in, New York Avenue Presbyterian, had a long history of involvement with activist politics in Washington, D.C.. And it had also been Abraham Lincoln's church during the Civil War Years--that's how far back it went as a church.
So Bob Dylan's name came up in my house every now and then. I associated him for many years with the kind of gentle folk rock that was the only kind of popular music my parents ever played (and which they stopped playing probably by the time I was around ten).
I don't recall when exactly in high school I picked up these, my first Dylan records, or what specifically prompted me to do it, but I had no idea what I was in for. I do remember being shocked.
I mean, this guy was HARSH, and funny, and his music had energy and bite and, hey, poetry. The word play amazed me. There was barely a whiff of gentle folky puffery on any music he made.
Over the next few years I bought a lot of Dylan records, beginning probably with his first and second, the two best of his folk-based records, and moving on quickly to his electric 60s period and after. I soon picked up the recently released albums of his Christian period (Shot of Love is a fine record; Saved is not) and beyond, including the big surprise of his 1983 Infidels when the Christian period vanished into what was then talked about as his "radical Zionism."
I think the main thing that still makes Dylan controversial as a music icon is his negativity. Really, there's not a whole lot of positive messaging with Dylan, and not much in the way of positive representations of people. He doesn't have a kindly or generous outlook on women. He doesn't like men either. He expresses very little of the stereotypical concept of "peace and love." If he sometimes seems in favor of those things, it's mostly because he's describing a world of war and hate that he finds himself drawn into, whether he wants to be or not. And one of the undercurrents about Dylan that confuses people is the way he often did NOT want to be drawn into the social issues of his time, but ended up there anyway because that's where the most powerful conflicts could be found.
He's good at hating, Bob Dylan is.
He's a writer of angry songs, of protests of all kinds, with more in common with the punks to come than with the sometimes optimistic political folk tradition in the U.S.
I think it's that darkness, the serious rage, at the heart of Dylan's music that forms my earliest identification with his music, like most of the music on my list so far.
I've sometimes wondered if you have to be raised in a religious context to really feel the double meaning of "Everybody must get stoned" in the song whose title most people often forget ("Rainy Day Woman #12 and 35").
Something that doesn't get mentioned as often as it might is how good the playing is on many Dylan albums. The American folk scene musicians of the 60s frequently prided themselves on avoiding virtuosity in the name of making music that seemed in support of "ordinary people." But there's no devotion to an air of amateurism in Dylan's music right from the first album. Soon, of course, he would go on to play with some of the best rock musicians of the 60s.
Also, while I can understand people saying they hate Dylan's voice, that's only because of its remarkable distinctiveness. Whatever rough-hewn singing influence Dylan took from Woody Guthrie, from the first he always sounded exactly and only like himself. His voice is as distinct as his song writing.
Dylan changed my understanding of what lyrics could do. Jefferson Airplane's lyrics are poetic too, but Dylan's lyrics bite big verbal chunks out of whatever subject they're taking on with a daring that's hard to match. Saying that is just obvious, I know.
I wasn't part of the 60s counter culture. I wasn't even part of the 70s counter culture and its slow fade into psychic oblivion. When it became the 80s, with that time's growing hatred of anything that didn't sound like a studio confection, liking Bob Dylan felt like a way of enjoying the idea that what I might say might mean something.
Not that it did.

4) Jefferson Airplane, After Bathing at Baxter's (10 Rock Albums That Made My Sense of Music What It Is)
4) After Bathing at Baxter's, Jefferson Airplane.
I don't remember when during my high school school years I first heard Jefferson Airplane, or where I was. By the time I heard them, the original band was already long gone. In fact it was only a few years until the remnants of that band renamed themselves Starship, dropping "Jefferson" and severing ties with their past brilliance.
If I don't remember for certain why I first liked them, it must have had to do with Grace Slick and the Airplane's two biggest hits, 'Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit."
Her vocals were intense, powerful, certainly neither nice or sweet. She sang like she wanted the song to attack the listener.
The first pop songs I remember loving when I was very young, at six, were "It's Too Late" by Carole King and "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon. Neither of those songs sees love (or in the second song, the formerly loved man) as positive, and that sense must have stuck with me. I liked then, and still do, lyrics by women that suggest the women are fighting back against behavior that harms them.
Grace Slick's songs were tough, wild, smart, not passive. She had edge. And she certainly was not bowing down and letting anyone tell her what to do.
I don't think it's far-fetched to say that I heard something of the over-the-top elements of Rob Halford's singing in Judas Priest in the extent to which Slick pushed her voice as far sonically as she could. Maybe I'm the first person ever to compare Slick and Halford? But it made sense to me then, and still does.
Plus, I have to admit it didn't hurt that she looked, like, well, like Grace Slick, former model stepped over to a rebellious, liberated life.
For awhile, the only Airplane album I had was the collection of hits, The Worst of Jefferson Airplane. When I crossed into buying the original albums is something else I don't know. Some time late in high school would be my guess.
After Bathing at Baxter's isn't Jefferson Airplane's best record (that's Volunteers), and it doesn't have their biggest hits on it (that's Surrealistic Pillow). But it's the one that meant the most to me.
The album, especially the first side, was as risky musically as anything I'd heard and was still tuneful. The strange tone of the instruments felt like an odd combination of amateurish and experimental. Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen in particular made the sonic textures of the band startling. Kaukonen was one of the best guitarists in 60s rock and roll, something that doesn't get said often enough. The weirdness, the sound experiments, and the consistent rocking edge of the record made it something I played over and over, especially in my first year or two of college. The band had four, yes, four, singers ranging from brilliant to capable, each of whom plays on that record an important role in the overall vocal ensemble.
Slick's lyrics on "Rejoyce" were even farther out than most of her songs, and she referenced James Joyce. Then and now I can still get chills from the way she sings "It all falls apart" at the end of the song. And yes, I knew who Joyce was, very well. In high school I'd done a senior lit presentation on Finnegan's Wake.
Although Jefferson Airplane had had pop hits, other than the tunefulness there wasn't anything significantly pop about After Bathing at Baxter's. It was a record by a rock band trying to push past what was acceptable.
Jefferson Airplane was also the first band for whom I started doing something that I did for a few years: writing down the lyrics in order to know what they were and to try and decipher their meaning. At that time, you couldn't just look a song up on the Internet. If you wanted to know the words, you had to listen.
And no, taking drugs had nothing to do with why I liked them, earlier or later. Aside from occasional experiments, my drug of choice in high school, and mostly even in college, was beer.
I was veering further into territory that felt to me experimental and exploratory and not at all in tune with the American normalcy that I felt all around me.

3) Judas Priest, Sad Wings of Destiny (10 Rock Albums That Made My Sense of Music What It Is)
3) Sad Wings of Destiny, Judas Priest
One more choice from junior high, the very end of it.
I have no memory of how I got from Black Sabbath to Judas Priest. Record store browsing seems most likely, but honestly I don't know.
I'm also not sure I can explain adequately why, in high school, I preferred Judas Priest to Black Sabbath, who in many ways is a more important band, or why Judas Priest became my favorite band for most of my high school years.
Black Sabbath sounded a little more earthy, a more hippy-influenced metal that was still somehow on the cusp between folk rock peasant and modern rock factory worker. Judas Priest was flamboyant, textured, excessive, a different kind of metallic, technology going straight into the science fiction age. Plus, by Sin After Sin and especially Stained Class, they played faster. Although Black Sabbath would try to get up to speed on their 1980 record Heaven and Hell, they never really did.
Sad Wings of Destiny, though, wasn't yet Judas Priest as sleek new metal. Black Sabbath was horror, but Sad Wings of Destiny was Gothic, a huge cathedral with big soaring melodies like big soaring spires, the first side especially. "Victim of Changes," with its wild vocal assault, to "The Ripper" (about you know who), to the astonishing "Dreamer Deceiver" / "Deceiver": the trajectory featured a range of sonic textures that was overpowering. And if the second side was a little less great, it had driving rhythm section and guitar power power and lyrics that (yes, like Black Sabbath) told mythological stories about political oppression.
I guess, throughout high school, I just felt a greater range of sonic pleasure in Judas Priest's records than I got from Black Sabbath. The crazily excessive (and sometimes imperfectly crafted) singing seemed nearly impossible. That twin guitar sound was also a real joy; the huge sweeping grace of Tipton with the clipped churning of Downing in counterpoint.
I was a big fan of much of the popular hard rock of that era: Led Zeppelin certainly. Aerosmith. AC/DC. Van Halen--playing as an opening act--was fantastic the first time I heard them live, making the show of headliner Ted Nugent seem irrelevant. Their first record, which when it came out I and my friends played a lot on a trip to the beach at Ocean City, Maryland, could almost make my list here, but not quite.
But liking those bands just made me part of the suburban social environment around me, while liking Judas Priest distinguished me from it. I wanted to be part of that environment at times, but maybe more, I wanted out of it.
Also, even in high school I was never a huge fan of the "cock rock" macho that characterized the more mainstream hard rock lyric. I didn't personally relate to that kind of thinking about girls and women. I'm not saying I thought those songs were "sexist"--I was in high school in the late 70s Maryland suburbs, and I doubt anyone I knew ever even said the words "sexist" or "feminism." But I didn't think of women as targets for my sexual desire; I tended to long for romantic love more than sex as such. Frankly, I thought that love was maybe a pretty neat possibility.
Not that I knew anything about it then or for quite a while after.
Maybe first and foremost, though, I remained committed to the doom side of metal and hard rock. When those other bands took on doom, I really got into them as well. I guess part of me felt that if you were going to play loud, hard music, something serious ought to be at stake. Like your life.
Maybe that was a key difference between Black Sabbath and Judas Priest for me: With Black Sabbath, doom was already here. Judas Priest always seem involved in a struggle to fight back. Although the band occasionally crossed into lyrics that sounded like unpleasant Winner Rock, more often they sounded like a band that was trying to survive.
Later, when I left the Washington, DC area and moved to Binghamton, New York for graduate school, I got rid of a lot of my record collection, though a huge amount remained. By that time I felt embarrassed by my earlier love of Judas Priest, and I sold all their records. My new wave / punk / pop urban friends didn't approve of the band. Neither did the people I was starting to know in the worlds of literature and literary theory and political theory.
Those people mostly thought Judas Priest was dumb music for dumb people.
After I had my Ph.D., and my interests in music had grown out from rock and roll to also include all sorts of jazz and blues and folk and world music, over a period of a few months I went out and bought again all the Judas Priest records I had loved from the age of 14 to 20. And I still play them a lot, if not as much as I did when I was in high school.
It's a tremendous relief to realize that you can like music just because you do and not because the social consensus of others permits it.

Cartoonists slaughtered in France. What a wacky world. I got death threats for one of my cartoons once. The editor of The Montreal Mirror apparently played the recorded messages off his speaker phone out loud to the staff until they told him to quit it. I wasn't at the offices, I was working freelance from home. At least they called first. It was for a (p)review of a Good Friday (the 13th) screening of Karim Hussain & Mitch Davis' sacrilegious film SUBCONSCIOUS CRUELTY wherein I depicted naked girls urinating onto a disemboweled Jesus Christ while sodomizing him with a branch. It appeared in the April 12 – April 19, 2001 issue of The Montreal Mirror. "A Trillion Hail Marys!" (Pictured below: Scan from original newsprint version.

Teaching and Scholarly Inquiry Circle mini-grants (up to $500) provide Stetson University faculty and staff the opportunity to develop as teacher-scholars and practitioner-scholars through curricular and co-curricular collaborations. Past circles include contemplative practices, critical reading, and more.
Teaching inquiry circles are small groups who meet regularly during the academic year to develop a common interest, discuss and build community around a dilemma, issue or approach to learning, and disseminate what they have learned together to the Stetson community and beyond. Where appropriate, students are invited to be members. Circles can cover a wide variety of topics related to teaching and learning.
Scholarly inquiry circles bring 4-6 members, preferably from more than one discipline, together consistently during the academic year to support each other's scholarly work, provide feedback on projects and hold each other accountable. Scholarly inquiry circle members hone their skills in communicating their scholarly work to a cross-disciplinary audience, to hold each other accountable, provide critical peer review and support in the service of obtaining scholarly and creative goals.

New RVs expand options in downsized choices
More fuel-efficient is definitely "in" these days when it comes to RV products. Manufacturers are coming up with interesting, new, smaller motorized and towable options for those looking for something a bit different to fit today's economic sensibilities.
Winnebago Via
Motorhomes based on the Dodge Sprinter van, both the full van and cutaway chassis, are popular and commonplace today. Winnebago Industries (www.winnebagoind.com, 641/585-3535) has gone one step further with the introduction of its all-new 2010 Via Class A motorhome.
The Via and its Itasca equivalent, the Reyo, are based on the Sprinter "cowl" chassis that's currently being imported exclusively by Winnebago. This chassis allows the company to design its entire coach from the ground up, as is typical for any Class A motorhome, instead of working with the Sprinter cab or body features used on the earlier models.
At 25 feet long, the Via is a compact vehicle, yet it offers full-featured livability and comfort. At the same time, its 154-hp Mercedes-Benz 3.0-L turbo-diesel 6-cylinder engine delivers fuel economy numbers considerably higher than the average gas-powered Class A and better than various front- or rear-engine diesel-powered rigs on the market.
Sprinter-van-based Class B motorhomes are reported to achieve as much as 20-plus mpg. Winnebago hasn't released any fuel economy figures yet, but it's reasonable to presume that the Via will achieve lower numbers than the smaller van-based rigs, but still better than a V-8-powered coach.
Contemporary body styling and graphics give the coach visual appeal, and the interior abounds with smooth, rounded surfaces and next-generation-looking cabinets. It's a rig that likely would please the most persnickety type who doesn't want just another box on wheels.
The Via starts at $135,132 base MSRP. That's not cheap, but long-term fuel savings make it a viable investment option.
True North Freelance OSV
The interest in downsized trailers means more RV manufacturers are treading the fine line between an RV and a simple enclosed place to sleep on wheels. Northwood Manufacturing, a company long known for building functional and high-quality RVs designed by outdoors enthusiasts, has developed a new small trailer that fits a variety of recreation product niches.
The new Freelance Outdoor Support Vehicle (OSV) by Northwood's True North division (www.truenorth.me, 800/766-6274) is an exciting addition to the smaller-RV market. It resembles one of the classic teardrop-style trailers on steroids and offers a wide variety of equipment and function options.
In essence, it's a 1,535-pound trailer with a sofa that folds down to a bed, a rear lift hatch that covers a kitchenette unit and several exterior-access storage compartments. Its rounded front and sloped aft end help with aerodynamics, and the unit's 16-foot, 4-inch length means it can be stored in many garages.
As with a teardrop, users need to bend over inside as the entire rig is just 6 feet 9 inches tall overall from ground to roofline. Inside, it's just the sofa/bed that folds down to 48 x 77 inches, some mesh storage pockets, and extra open storage space. A lower-level access hatch provides pass-through long-item storage capability.
And that's still a lot more luxurious than the average tent. The Freelance OSV is aimed at those who want to make the leap from a tent into an RV without a lot of complications or cost. This rig retails for about $8,250 base MSRP, and heads up to closer to $13,100 fully equipped.
Users can opt for the base package or equip the Freelance OSV with a wide variety of options including a complete array of Thule rack-mount storage and sporting-toy-mount or camping accessories.
The Freelance OSV is an interesting and versatile new option for first-time RVers or those wishing to expand the flexibility of their leisure time activities.
Chalet RV: moving and shaking
The product designers at Chalet RV Inc. (www.chaletrv .com, 541/791-4610) have been busy with a new model aimed at the lightweight towable market. A company spokesman said the product would be ready for introduction very soon, pending some final detail touches on the first model.
While it's no big news to build a lightweight RV these days, the big difference lies in how your lightweight compares to the other guy's product.
The new Chalet model is said to break new ground in that regard and will offer full livability features, including a dry bath, in a very compact size. It's not a fold-down, like another popular Chalet product line, and it's not a teardrop, although it blends elements of each.
It also uses wide-body design to help achieve extra interior space.

*1976. Lives and works in Gifu, Japan.
Masakazu Saito produces video works that seek out the diverse potential for wielding the medium with the use of digital technology, including automated editing software. He uses the camera as a tool to record the eye of the photographer rather than the photographed subjects; consequently his works reflect his own vision.
Viewing movement as "a shifting of the position of an object during a given period of time" (including no movement), this series digitally processes moving figures to visualise the trajectory of their movements. It makes movement visible from a new angle.


"Anatomy with Love" is a colouring book for adults, drawn by a high-school biology teacher, and produced by élménybiológia. The Book contains coloring activities that explore the human body. The goal is to encourage learning, exploration, and reflection on our own body and health through the act of colouring.
At élménybiológia we are passionate about biology. We believe knowledge is not enough though. It has to be combined with mindfulness and love in order to make a better world – this is what we are working for.


It is vital that members of moving companies are recognized for their hard work and dedication to the industry. For this reason, there are awards presented by AMSA at the Super Van Operators awards ceremony. Some categories are tough and the drivers have to get through many hurdles before winning. They take into account the amount of accidents they have been involved in, any violations they have received while on the road. This is all to determine the best commercial drivers in the moving industry across America.
Checking your vehicle before travel, including underneath the vehicle to ensure the brakes are working and nothing is hanging down.
Make sure you are aware of the items you are carrying and any restrictions you might need to be aware of.
A clean truck not only shows professionalism but it can highlight any damage.
Check the engine before you leave.
Check the weather conditions where you are going.
Take your time as this can prevent accidents.
Ensure you have an adequate GPS system that can highlight any problems on the road ahead.
Listen to other commercial drivers because they have a wealth of information and might be able to forewarn you of any potential problems ahead.
It is possible to have a safe commercial driving career. Clocking up many miles behind the wheel is not a job for everyone and those people who do this every day do need recognition for their skills and abilities. Passing on good driving skills is key to the future of any business and this is the attitude that must prevail. A team member who not only spends long hours away from home, but also faces potential danger every working day, deserves recognition.
Therefore, it is important that these commercial drivers are recognized for their hard work and determination in a very difficult and demanding job.


The Men's Group will meet once a month (last Thursday of each month) to pray, discuss issues important to men, learn about Jesus and His Church, and grow in the strength of the Holy Spirit. All men 21 and older are welcome. Come all men! Refresh and recharge your batteries! The Holy Spirit has been waiting for you. The meeting will be held in the AFC (Adult Formation Center) room across from the Church or north side.


Augusta University Health continues to receive outstanding reviews from The Joint Commission, the accreditation and certification organization for the healthcare quality. In addition to meeting national clinical performance standards, Augusta University Health was also recognized as having the best practice in the industry in several areas.
The Joint Commission Surveyors continue to be extremely pleased with the overall performance of such a large and complex healthcare organization and the ability of our team members to provide high quality and service excellence to help our patients and families.

Q: Why is pressure isotropic in a liquid? Consider an imaginary cube of liquid as shown in the figure.

Why should all the forces on the cube be same? The cube can be stationary even if the forces on parallel, opposite vertical sides are equal and opposite in direction. The cube can be arbitrarily small or large.
Edit $-$
Based on the answer by Steeven, I just want to consider a similar hypothetical experiment of that sort. Imagine a container with rigid, smooth balls. If I apply pressure $P$ on all the sides of this container, will I get this much amount of increased pressure on the upper and lower sides? I think that more the spheres are small and more in number, the more pronounced the above-mentioned effect will be seen.(This is my guess)

A:
The cube can be stationary even if the forces on parallel, opposite sides are equal and opposite in direction

Yes, if we were talking about cubic boxes stacked on top of each other. But consider fluid molecules as spheres. A top/bottom pressure will make it squeeze out sideways because they never are perfectly aligned. This is in fact what defines a fluid in contrast to a solid - that it spontaneously takes the shape of its container.
When they are squeezed out sideways, there must be a sideways force holding them back. Depending on how they are stacked, the sideways force will be bigger or smaller than the top/bottom forces. Imagine spheres on top of each other. The more they are displaced from a symmetry line (the smaller the angle of the centre--to centre line), the more do they tend to sliding further down from each other and the sideways force must be larger to hold them in place.
On average, the sideways pressure in all directions averages out to equal to the top/bottom pressure.


You know the saying, and we hate to break it to you but it's true. Getting healthy always starts from the inside, and bone broth is your key to starting this [natural] detox. It's known for its properties for healing leaky gut syndromes (when your intestinal lining is damaged, letting things pass through that shouldn't, and ultimately causing internal inflammation), and in return can re mediate health issues like arthritis, eczema, migraines, muscle pain and chronic fatigue, and the gelatin it contains soothes your gut. But why stop there? It's a great source of several amino acids that are otherwise hard to come-by, protects your joints via the glucosamine it's packed with preventing osteoarthritis, and the calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium strengthens your bones. Still not convinced? Keep reading!
Once the broth cleans your insides, it naturally enhances your outsides, or in other words your natural beauty! Say it with us C O L L A G E N. Bone broth is packed with collagen – this is the stuff that beauty suppliers are selling for outrageous prices – and it is a miracle worker. Say hello to stronger and faster growing hair and nails, and smoother and firmer skin (aka goodbye wrinkles and cellulite). We know, it sounds too good to be true, but trust us when we say it's good and it's true.
After healing you from the inside out and providing you with top of the line beauty products for next to nothing, bone broth still continues to work for you, and you will feel it (if you haven't already by this point). The glycine in bone broth is proven to improve your memory and aid in better sleep. On top of this it's said to boost your energy (this isn't science behind this, but there are many many testimonials saying an increase of energy after consistently consuming bone broth- we link it to getting more sleep, but we will let you be the judge). After all of this you should be feeling a new natural high, and in doing so you can be confident that you are better than you were.

TVGN re-airing Survivor Fans vs. Favorites, Heroes vs. Villains this week
3 Sep. 2013 | 8:32 am
Starting at 11 a.m. ET today and continuing tomorrow, TVGN, formerly known as the TV Guide Network, will broadcast both the original Survivor Fans vs. Favorites (today and tomorrow) and Survivor Heroes vs. Villains (Thursday and Friday). The schedule lists times and episodes.
TVGN, which also broadcasts heavily censored live feeds from Big Brother, is now owned by CBS, so it makes sense that they'd fill time with something that'd indirectly promote a show on its sibling network. Three of the cast of returnees on the upcoming Survivor Blood vs. Water also appeared on Heroes vs. Villains.
This isn't the first time full seasons have been rebroadcast; previously, Outdoor Life Network re-aired the first 10 seasons.
