The Divine Light 2 FL is a new addition to Sierra Designs' line of lightweight backpacking tents, combining characteristics of the Flashlight 2 and Tensegrity. Most notably, it utilizes spreader poles at the front of the tent to create a wider distance at the peak than at the bottom. This amounts to a noticeably different living experience inside the tent—a huge amount of space and headroom for sitting upright!
The tent also sports side awnings and a large roll-back vestibule awning, which increase the coverage, facilitate easy entry/exit, and provide a lot of adjustability in ventilation and escape from the elements. Best of all, the Divine Light weighs in at a svelte 3 lbs (tent and required foot-box pole) by utilizing trekking poles for the structure. Not bad for a 2-person, 3-door, feature-rich tent that actually has plenty of room for 2.
On the downside, it is not free-standing, suffers from single-wall condensation, and takes some practice to set up.
Structurally-imperative guy-lines (holding up vertical poles) can get snagged when entering/exiting sides of tent.
At a minimum, the tent and required foot-box pole weigh just a hair over 3lbs/48 oz.
Additionally, a footprint can be purchased separately for $39.95. I did not use a footprint while testing the tent and generally find the extra weight/cost to not be necessary.
Setup: Ease of setup is somewhat subjective, depending on how much experience one has playing with non-freestanding tents. They can be finicky little oddities and always require a lot of stakes. Fortunately, I have a fair bit of experience in this realm, and rather enjoy such challenges.
To avoid frustration and a lop-sided tent, it is important to follow the same procedure, in order, when setting up a non-freestanding tent. Practice at home in your backyard or a park before setting out into the backcountry for the first time. And if it's been awhile, do a refresher.
I forget details such as how high to set my trekking poles (owning several trekking pole-compatible tents, all utilizing different heights, confuses things further). I suggest marking the poles or writing this information somewhere on the tent with a permanent marker.
Pitching this tent is more involved than a simple dome design, but comparable to similar non-freestanding designs. There is no separate fly to mess with, so this makes setup easier but can have its disadvantages too. With a bit of practice, I was able to pitch the tent in the 5 minute benchmark, by myself, in the dark.
During my testing period, the tent was not yet publicly available and came with NO pitching instructions (as of publication of this review, they are still not available but I'm confident SD will provide them eventually). It was fairly easy to figure out a procedure by following the instructions for the SD Flashlight 2 (available online).
The prep for setup involves finding a medium-sized level piece of ground, with consideration given to all the usual factors such as wind direction/speed, humidity, entry/exit, privacy, etc. If ventilation is desired, positioning the head into a light wind and raising/rolling-up the awning effectively turns the tent into a wind-scoop. If stormy conditions are expected, position the foot into the wind, instead.
Comparison of trekking poles, stock veritical poles, and the foot-box pole.
Assemble the foot-box pole and either 2 trekking poles or the 2 stock vertical poles. These are 46" long, which equates to 117 cm. A minimum of 8 tent stakes are required to pitch the tent: 4 in the main body corners, 2 on the vestibule corners, and 2 on the side guy-out points.
A 9th stake at the middle foot-end pulls the fly out to allow better ventilation and the remaining 2 stakes can be used in conjunction with an additional set of trekking poles to prop open the vestibule awning. Alternatively, they can be used to stake out the bottoms of the vertical poles, although this is not necessary.
Tightly stake-out the 4 main body corners, then the 2 vestibule corners.
2. Insert the foot-box pole in the grommets and attach the 2 H-clips to the 2 joints, followed by the middle clip.
3. Insert the vertical poles into the awning peak sleeves and bottom grommets. If using trekking poles, the awning peaks create a cup for the pole handles, while the tips may or may not fit inside the grommets, depending on pole design. 4. Stake-out one vertical pole, and then the other, keeping the tension between the two balanced (may involve several adjustments using the Lineloc camcleats).
5. Stake-out the rear-vent. Ideally, set the stake high out of the ground, with the guy-line at the top, to maximize the opening.
6. Do a 360 around the tent, re-tightening all the guy-lines and pull-outs. Configure the vestibule awning and door windows as desired for privacy, weather, and ventilation.
Stability: It can be a little challenging to get a taut pitch with the Divine Light, especially if the ground is slightly uneven or the area is lacking in space. Staking the corners evenly at the very beginning is key, as well as balancing the vertical pole spread. On several occasions, I managed to get the front end of the tent slightly off-center from the rear. As a result, there were some wrinkles in the body of the tent. In another instance, I pitched the tent in a slight bowl, resulting in a funny shape. Here I used a tree to prop open the awning since I was pretty limited on space at this remote Everglades campsite---high ground is few and far between!
Stability ultimately depends on maintaining the tension of the side guy-lines…this is the tent's Achilles heel. During a thunderstorm, one of the stakes pulled out and the whole structure was compromised until I wrestled it back in place. These guy-lines are also positioned in front of either side door, begging to be tripped over during a middle-of-the-night bathroom break. While I mostly managed to avoid entanglements, an unsuspecting neighbor snagged one, leading to a big surprise for both of us. The lines are orange and reflective, but still…keep klutzy neighbors at a distance if you can!
The tent's reflective trim and tracers stand out pretty well at night. Watch out for those guy-lines!
I also experienced a fairly typical amount of stretching/sagging due to absorbed water weight. Silnylon is notorious for moisture-induced stretching. A taut pitch the night before often ends in a saggy tent the next morning. Given the non-freestanding design and a large surface area, the Divine Light is perhaps even more susceptible to this effect.
Weather Resistance: The Divine Light performed as expected during the encounters I had with rain…that is to say, it kept most of the rain out. In the worst case, I had to pitch it during a thunderstorm. Since the fly is integrated, the interior is mainly protected during setup. But there was some water inside, once finally pitched.
I will emphasize that this was a really heavy downpour and pools of water collected on top the tent before I could get the poles up. I suspect the water seeped in through the doors. In a light drizzle, this shouldn't be a problem. Once I got the tent up and the bit of water mopped up, the tent stayed dry inside.
Also, I did not notice water pooling anywhere on the top, so that is good. The shape of the tent seems to shed water pretty well. The window panels zip all the way up for side-ways rain and the vestibule awning offers full coverage, so really there is only a small possibility of getting some splash-back at the foot-end. I'm also confident that the bathtub floor keeps water out (as it also held condensation run-off in).
Ventilation: The Divine Light has good to excellent ventilation, depending on the configuration of the front awning and window panel openings. Even when the windows are closed and the awning is down, air can circulate under the vestibule, through the solid mesh front, and back to the foot box. With the window panels open, there is good cross-circulation as well.
At no time did I suffer from the tent being too stuffy. In fact, on several occasions I had to close the vestibule and window panels just to keep from getting too cold (I was trying to get away with just a light poncho liner in December, so cut me some slack :). On that same trip, I started the first night with the awning rolled all the way back, taking full advantage of a light sea breeze in balmy conditions. This adjustability really appeals to me, given my varied uses.
However, having spent many a night in the humid conditions of Florida, I have yet to use a tent that doesn't suffer from condensation. Better ventilation just means that the surrounding moisture-laden air can settle on the interior surfaces of a tent more easily. And this tent has a LOT of surface area. It is also primarily single-walled. As a result, I came in contact with condensation regularly…enough to cause pools of water on the floor some nights. Most of the time condensation ran down the walls all the way to the bottom and foot end but also dripped on me. None of this surprised me or made me think it is a design-flaw, it's just the way things are in this environment.
But one thing is for sure, because of the amount of surface area and that fact that the tent body can't be separated into several pieces, it takes a long time to dry in the mornings. Most days I just packed a wet tent and let it dry when pitched again in the hot, late afternoons.
Room & Storage: Ample space is the Divine Light's main selling point. This is one of the few 2-person backpacking tents that I can confidently say will comfortably fit 2 people and their gear. I daresay that even a third could squeeze in, if desperate times called. It might even accommodate a small family.
Much of the tent's "livability" can be ascribed to the spread of the vertical bars. Instead of the walls closing in at top, they open up….a very unique concept in a tent. This greatly improves the total amount of interior space, but more importantly, headroom. It proved invaluable one morning in the Everglades…I was able to sip my coffee in peace and comfort, sitting upright in my camp chair, while hundreds if not thousands of no-see-ums raged just outside (I am not exaggerating, see the pictures).
It's not pepper sprinkled on the tent....all those little specs are biting insects... no-see-ums (which can actually be seen). I refer to them as wings-n-teeth. Thankfully the small-sized mesh kept them at bay!
The sides of the tent are protected by a 10-inch wide awning, giving some rain coverage for an occupant trying to get in and out. These awnings also allow the door window panels to be opened during a rainstorm (provided it isn't blowing sideways). At 35" max height, they require some maneuvering for clearance.
Additionally, a 3rd double-zippered, U-shaped door in the front mesh allows access to the vestibule and another point of entry/exit if the awning is propped-up or rolled back. In fair weather, I preferred to come in and out through the front door, just because it was slightly easier.
The front awning vestibule also provides a huge amount of versatile area for storing gear and sheltering from sun or light rain. When pitched upright with a second set of trekking poles or sticks, I liked to refer to the area as my foyer. It is definitely my favorite feature of the tent. Namely, it's possible to stay dry while cooking a meal on a small camp stove here…just be careful!
It also makes your space very inviting and a social focal-point. Great views and a feeling of connected-ness with your surroundings are another strong-selling point…but this assumes you'll pitch the tent somewhere worthy of the view, which is up to you!
I took my own tent dimension measurements, which were mostly the same as the manufacturer's, with the main difference being that I measured the max height of the tent from the center and not from the peak at each vertical pole. This is more factual regarding the usable height of the tent. Head-end: 42" height at middle, 57" width at top, 49" width at bottom. Foot-end: 16" height, 45" width. Body: 86" length. Vestibule: 30" length x 50" width x 42" height.
From these dimensions and pictures, hopefully you can figure out if the tent would be a good fit. After all, "roominess" depends very much on the person describing it.
Packability: Relative to the pitched size, the Divine Light packs fairly small. The poles fold into a compact length of 17" and the body of the tent compresses well. Unlike my SD Lightning 2, the Divine Light has no integrated stiffening rods, so it can be rolled or stuffed into a pack any which way. When using trekking poles, the only hard parts are the foot-box pole and stakes. On the downside, since the tent body cannot be separated from the fly, the weight cannot be divided as easily among partners.
Ease of Use and Features: I've outlined much already, but the Divine Light is loaded with large-scale, unique features as well as numerous small details such as linelocs, zipper-pulls, and door tie-backs. There are too many to cover them all, but I highlight a couple major features and try to provide pictures of the many smaller ones.
Doors: The Divine Light has two J-shaped, double-zippered side doors (one for each occupant). These side doors have 2 layers: a no-see-um mesh window and a protective nylon panel that can unzip to increase ventilation and the view to outside. The doors can also be rolled up and secured by toggles at the top, so that they are out of the way completely.
I was impressed by the functionality and ergonomics of the J doors. The zippers slide easily throughout the arc, using only one hand. With other tents, I often have to apply tension with the other hand and different points in order to fully open the door. I also like that the doors hang down in place over the opening, even with the zippers all the way open. This effectively creates a flap…which I found is very helpful in keeping hordes of insects out when the tent occupant is trying to escape or retreat unnoticed.
However, the zip-down window panels do cause a few problems. One, it is easy to mistake the panel zipper for the door zipper, or vice-versa. Second, when the panels are fully opened, they can flap down into the door opening, making it problematic to zip the door closed. I tried just tucking them into the pocket they create, but this only works if they are partially unzipped. It would be easy for Sierra Designs to devise a means to secure these better.
To the left are the door zippers, the 2 at the top right are for the window panel...easy to mix up.
Poles and stakes: I like that the vertical poles are provided with the Divine Light. Given the price-point, this would seem to be something expected, but you'd be surprised. Many trekking-pole compatible tents do not include any substitute poles or charge extra for them (I've owned two like this). That is fine if the buyer is certain they will always pair the tent with their own trekking poles. But this can be off-putting to buyers that haven't yet committed to using trekking poles or don't want to.
It also makes it more difficult to loan your tent to your buddies for the weekend (perhaps not a bad thing, depending how hard your buddies are on gear). Having the option to bring the stock poles along and free your trekking poles for other uses (day-hike peak bagging, for instance) adds a lot of flexibility. The provided DAC stakes are very good quality, hold well, and are relatively lightweight.
There are 2 mesh pockets at the head-end for storing small items.
Night Glow lantern: This a new accessory that comes included with the tent and can be purchased separately. A headlamp or flashlight is placed inside and the fabric acts as a light diffuser, creating a warm glow. It functions as advertised, is lightweight, and packs down small. The line that the lantern is hung from can also serve to hang other items, provides some internal tensioning, and is easily removed.
Lastly, velcro on the ends of the vestibule awning creates a nice pocket for storing the guy-lines.
Construction & Durability: All materials are of good quality, with no short-cuts (that I could tell). This tent definitely has all the marks of a high-end product. The stitching is good and the seams are factory taped. The only part that has suffered is the no-see-um mesh. I noticed a few snags right off the bat, and more as time passed. But these are common to tents with such fine mesh…which includes most tents these days.
Conditions: I tested the Divine Light from November through February in South Florida. I used the tent for backpacking, car camping, and on a 4-day kayak expedition. I did not experience very severe weather, but it did rain on several occasions. The tent weathered one thunderstorm and winds up to 20 kts. Thank you to Trailspace and Sierra Designs for the opportunity to test this tent.
That's a pretty cool little tent. I have always thought highly of Sierra's products. Looks like they have another winner.
I have the Flashlight 1 FL and have the same runs in the mesh in a couple of spots. Bugs can't get through.
Thanks for the detailed review and the many explanatory photos. This tent has a lot of interesting features.But I'd still choose a Tarptent Notch for a light solo or a TT Stratospire 2 person model.
Thanks for such a detailed review with setup info and pictures, Lah! It looks like a very interesting tent with a lot of features and room. I'm glad the no-see-ums were kept at bay.
Great review Lah!...the tent looks super livable at 3lbs...and eliminating the need to carry and pitch a "porch" tarp is very appealing!
The Sierra Designs Divine Light 2 FL is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen March 23, 2019	at SunnySports.


My family and I had an amazing trip to the jungle for 2 days with Toto, the best tour guide in the world!
Super journée ! Magique ! Rencontre avec les éléphants respectueuse, encadrement du guide très bien. Authentique en petit groupe. Vraiment je recommande , loin des excursions bombées ou on ne partage rien. Réellement ravie !
Just had one of the best hiking experience at the start of the new year with our guide, San, at the Mae Tang area. Took a drive out from Chiang Mai, picked up local Thai lunch before heading out to the pristine jungle. Our guide, San, made the experience even better with entertaining and knowledegable tips and stories on jungle living, the trees and animals. San's specialty - an al fresco lunch on nature made rock table and fresh banana leaves table settings. Definitely will return for more hikes.
We were there as a family with 2 children (7&9).
Never expected to get such a nice experience and that the children would be soooo involved. Even the 7 year old got to ride the biggest elephant on his own. The crew went well over their call of duty to make us feel a part of the elephant "day".
I can only recommend it to anybody who wants to experience these majestic animals from a very close view point.
The best part is that these elephants are running free in the jungle during the night and the baby elephant we saw was a product of a "domestic" female and a "wild" male from the jungle. Whoever says this is cruel towards the animals, it is as good as it gets. And no cruelty seen during the whole visit.
I would recommend it to anybody anytime.
In March my sister and I did the two days elephant + trekking. It was wonderfull. It was one of the highlight at our trip to thailand. Our guide San was the best. He is very friendly and he told us a lot. We always had something to laugh. We would book this trip again.
My husband and I did the one day Toto's Elephant Training and it was AMAZING! We were the only people on the tour, so we received the VIP treatment from Keng, our wonderful guide! The day was exactly as described on the website, but even better. The trip to the camp gave us an opportunity to see the country-side outside of the city. The elephant we spent the day with was huge! It was evident that the elephants were well taken care of and very happy. The trek through the jungle was an experience I will never forget, but be prepared to get dirty and wet. FYI authentic Karen clothes are provided. The lunch was one of the best we had while in Chiang Mai….who could ask for more than having an awesome lunch while watching "your" elephant feed and explore in the jungle? To top off a once in a life-time experience, we were taken to a tropical waterfall for a swim to cool off. All the while, Keng was taking photos so we could enjoy our day instead of trying to take pictures. Keng was THE BEST! Over 100 pictures were part of the price, and are professional quality and were available online that night. If you are looking for a amazing experience from beginning to end, do not hesitate…give Chiang Mai Jungle Trekking a chance!
We had a wonderful day out in the jungle with 2 very intelligent and nice elefants, a very food guide and very friendly mahouts. First we learned elefant language (mainly pei,pei and toi,toi) and than after the elefants had got to konow us we started on a walk for at least one hour. Without a saddle, so it was much more enjoiable . We will never forget this day. Thanks a lot to all of you.
Awesome trip! We booked the 3 days trekking trip and ended up having a private tour. We had so much fun with our guide San and enjoyed the beautiful jungle a lot. We had a warm welcome at the Karen's village and had the great opportunity to spend some hours talking and eating with the locals. What a great experience! Since our guide grew up in the jungle and always took care of us, we felt totally safe with him. Compared to other companies this tour is more expensive, but very reliable. It was worth it and we would totally do it again.
Money well spent. What a wonderfull day 7 strangers had. Those beuatiful elephants have their mahoots well trained. All we could see was loving, caring relationships, which we were privileged to enjoy. I have never spent half a day being trained by an elephant, they got us to do exactly what they wanted. Toto's Elephant Training? What a fabulous organization. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything was taken care of. Such superb organization by such friendly and charming people. Don't consider any other tour, choose Toto.
Wir hatten in der Vorbereitung unserer ersten Thailand Reise überhaupt bereits einiges im Internet gefunden zu diversen Elephant-Camps und fanden es nicht so toll was dort so mit den Tieren veranstaltet wird.
Darum waren wir sehr erfreut, dass unsere Guesthouse-Family vom Jungala Guesthouse, Chiang Mai uns diesbezüglich bei Toto mit seinen Tieren beruhigen konnte.
Der Tagesausflug mit Toto, seinem Team und seinen Elefanten zählt definitiv zu den Highlights unseres Thailand Urlaubs!!
Perfekte Organisation vom Guesthouse zum Camp im Dschungel und zurück. Toto erklärte uns ganz viel zu diesen Urwaldriesen, ihrer artgerechten Haltung und zur Haltung speziell in seinem Camp.
Hier kommen die Touris nicht mit Bussen im 10 Minuten Takt. Beide Spezies haben ausreichend Gelegenheit sich zu beschnuppern, Leckerchen füttern bevor es das erst Mal heißt: Aufsteigen. Und zwar bare-back! Also nicht in so einem Drahtkorb, einer rechts, der andere links. Bare-back, barfuß und in traditioneller Mahout-Kluft.
Die Elefanten bespritzen sich unterwegs mit Wasser und Schlamm, eben auch wenn jemand auf ihren reitet :-0.
Nach der Dschungeltour hatten die Frauen der Mahouts, die ebenfalls in dem einfachen Camp leben für uns eine sehr leckere Mahlzeit zubereitet. Zu jeder Zeit gab es ausreichend Wasser, Toilette und Dusche.
Der Spaß für die Touris ist das eine, das Leben der Tiere und derer, die für sie sorgen das andere. Bei Toto passt alles und wir wollen uns nochmals auch auf diese Weise bei ihm und seinem Team bedanken!
Wir würden dieses Erlebnis bei Chiang Mai Jungle Trekking jederzeit wieder buchen!

Steinbrenner and other important matters
Posted in journalism, Uncategorized, tagged grammar, Greece, public pensions, Steinbrenner on July 19, 2010| 2 Comments »
I was thinking about George Steinbrenner yesterday as my daughter and I watched the Oakland A's drub the Royals 9-6 at Kauffman Stadium.
The combination of the 95-degree heat, still air and Brian Bannister pitching something akin to batting practice (There goes another A's home run!) put us in close to a catatonic state. Fortunately, however, along about the fifth inning, my daughter had the good sense to suggest that we get some water. The $4.25-each investments brought us around a bit.
But, like I was saying, when I was reasonably conscious I was thinking about Steinbrenner. I was thinking particularly about a letter to the editor that appeared in The New York Times last Thursday. The writer, Paul Kaplan of Roswell, Ga., said that Steinbrenner was responsible for diminishing baseball for about two-thirds of the fans.
"That is roughly the percentage of teams that start each season with no realistic chance of becoming champions because they can't afford the best players under the twisted system that Mr. Steinbrenner exploited," Kaplan wrote. "Yes, he was a brilliant businessman, but he spoiled the sport that so many loved back when it was played on a level field."
What can you say, other than "Amen"?
Maybe you read last week about the Missouri General Assembly approving — and Gov. Jay Nixon signing — a bill that will give $150 million in tax breaks for automakers and aimed at Ford Motor Co.'s assembly plant in Claycomo.
Part of the money to finance the tax breaks will come from changes in the state pension system. The reforms — all good, in my opinion — will raise the retirement age for most state workers from 62 to 67; require a 4 percent contribution from employees toward their pension funds; and require them to work 10 years before becoming eligible for retirement benefits, instead of the current five years.
Nixon called the pension changes " a fiscally responsible measure to modernize the pension system for future state employees and ensure the solvency of this retirement system."
John Burnett
I just about jumped out of my chair, however, when I read what state Rep. John Burnett, a Kansas City Democrat, had to say about the pension reforms.
"We just did some brutal, brutal revisions to the pension system," Burnett said.
I understand that Burnett represents an area — northeastern Kansas City — that has a lot of blue-collar workers and many government employees. But, my God, hasn't Burnett hasn't been reading about the international financial crisis? The one that has been fueled by overly generous pension systems in southern European countries, including Greece, Portugal and Spain?
Here in the States, our governments — state, local and national — have been doling out extremely generous pension benefits for decades, and it's catching up with us, like it did with the European countries.
Wake up, John! The fabric in the golden parachute of government employment is fraying and about to tear asunder.
Overheard at Sutherlands…..A man with a piece of corrugated tubing asks the checkout clerk if the store has a type of corrugated tubing similar to what he has. The clerk shuffles through some product paperwork and replies, "We don't have no corrugated nothing."
Six words, four negatives. Gotta be a record. I didn't know whether to applaud or cry.

The ball is part of the system. They float up when there is water in the washer and as it drains if go's down. It sounds to me you must have a blockage somewhere, if you know the pump is operating in the drain cycle. If your sure there is no blockage and the ump is working I would replace the pump. On electric pumps they may work but if the impeller is worn from something that got into the pump it will spin but not pump the water out. Hope this helps you.
The washing machine does not evacuate water and does not go in spin cycle.
This issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.
We cannot say if the timer is problem without inspecting the wiring to the pump.
Consider an power supply wire to the pump is broken , then even if the timer is good it wont get power.
there is a plastic ball (about egg size) in hose from drum to pump.
How do I access the drain hose to disconnect and replace with new? Zanussi F1245W washing machine.
you need to remove back panel and tip machine back 45 deg from there you can get to the drain hose and change it.
Check the drainpump. It could be burned og blocked.
Have a manual for Zanussi F1245W Front Load Washer?


If we're planning a trip, then we've got to listing essential journey equipment which are very useful for touring. You could must journey iron, journey mugs, journey hair dryers, chargers, suitcases or some type of gadget. What you want is determined by the place you're going and what you're doing while you attain it!
Journey home equipment are to attenuate variations of private care private information and different composite tools. They often have options similar to folding handles that assist them pack and retailer. They're totally different from peculiar units, so they're an important deal and particularly designed for journey.
There are various journey units which are made for particular journey. For instance, in case you are touring internationally, you will want a journey gadget with twin voltage energy, the place different international locations use totally different electrical currents. Thus, you possibly can simply use these units for various currents.
We additionally want to hold suitcases, cash belts, baggage belts for the secure dealing with of our valuables. Journey baggage make our journey very comfy and great. We are able to keep away from many time-consuming objects with the right use of various journey tools.
If we're planning a trip, then we've got to listing essential journey accent equipment which are very helpful for touring.

If you have been following me for anytime at all, you know that I LOVE working from home – and I love teaching other moms how to build their at home business so they can bring in extra money without having to spend more time away from their family.
Just a few years ago, I was a mom with 2 kids under 3 running around (or scooting around) my feet… and everything was great! Except it wasn't.
I had previously been a speech therapist working full time at a nursing home, and I knew I didn't want to go back to work. I wanted to be home! Each year, our home budget kept getting tighter and tighter. I knew I had to find a way to start working from home… but I didn't even know where to start!
My friend shared with me how she was earning a full time income from home just using products that helped her and getting paid to share about them. I thought this sounded AWESOME! But I had to figure out how to build a business without home parties or talking to random people (I'm an introvert lol).
and video is one of my secrets of how I built a 6 figure income from home!
It has never been easier to show up online and share about what you love and how you can help people! I want to help you show up and be SEEN!
Do I have to do videos?
As far as getting your message out to as many people as possible so you can help them and make the BIG impact you want to… Video is King!
Pictures get more views than just text posts.
Pre-recorded videos get more views than Pictures.
LIVE videos get more views than Pre-recorded videos.
Clip Phone Holder This holder uses a clip, so that would make it really flexible depending on where you are shooting the most videos.
Lighting is very important to make your videos have the right "look" – I always say you want to show up and be SEEN! Dark videos are really hard to watch and catch people's attention. But getting the right lighting doesn't have to be expensive!
My best tip is just to record videos facing a window – Natural light always looks best!
In my house, we have a lot of great windows, so I usually just set up my tripod (or use the suction cup iPhone holder) to set up sitting right in front of the window with the best lighting.
If you are going Live often, you may want to invest in an external microphone just to give you the highest quality sound possible. We use the Blue Yeti microphone when we record our Work From Home Podcast and I really love the quality! This microphone would only be beneficial if you were using your computer to record videos.
We use our computer camera mostly for doing video chats with our team and business partners, but you can also record videos on your computer (and go live from your computer too!) I have used a Live Broadcasting called BeLive.tv and that is one great way to really get your live videos to stand out!
I hope that this gave you the tools you need to REALLY help your Live Videos stand out and get more views too! I believe that Attention = Money, so one of the first hurdles of building an online business is just getting noticed.


The deck machinery equipment was engineered and manufactured at ACE Winches facilities in Aberdeenshire and was mobilized to Saipem for work scheduled for 2017 and beyond.
Scantrol have supplied AHC solutions to ACE Winches since 2011. "Our standardized components are adapted to the specifications from ACE. Our good working relationship has given us the opportunity to build up enough experience to make streamlined solutions for the clients, hence the short delivery time on the last project" explains Business Development Manager, Rolf Krogh Hjelmeland.

University of Florida Shands Children's Hospital and its pediatric tumor program are ranked by U.S. News and World Report among the nation's best. This recognition, combined with an overall mission to care for and support our patients and families, leads to advanced treatment with a personalized touch from our pediatric neuro-oncology team.
Our interdisciplinary clinical team includes pediatric experts from numerous departments throughout UF Health. These include: neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology, neurology, neuroradiology, neuropathology, bone marrow transplant, anesthesiology, and neuropsychology. The care of children at University of Florida Shands Children's Hospital is aided greatly by the full range of pediatric services, including nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, and child life. The new UF Health Neuromedicine tower provides a welcoming clinic space for outpatient visits as well as intraoperative MRI.
The highly trained physicians and scientists at the Preston A. Wells Jr. Center for Brain Tumor Therapy take a patient-centered approach to care. Because no two individuals respond in the same way to any treatment, the multidisciplinary team of specialists provides highly individualized diagnostics and treatment plans. The ultimate goal is to provide the optimal patient experience.
Our team is experienced in formulating effective treatments for all types of brain tumors, including:
Institutional clinical trials
Multi-institutional clinical trials from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC)
Multi-institutional clinical trials from the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC)
First-in-human immunotherapy treatments for recurrent pediatric malignant tumors
Minimally invasive computer-guided biopsies or tumor removals
Advanced radiation oncology techniques, including intensity, modulated conformal therapy and proton beam therapy
Conventional and investigational chemotherapy/biological therapy options
Laser interstitial thermal therapy for brain tumors and lesions
Understanding treatment options
Every child and his or her family members will meet with a brain tumor specialist, usually at the neurosurgery outpatient practice. After a detailed discussion of the options and risks, treatment will be scheduled. If a surgical or radio-surgical procedure is needed, it will be performed at the patient's convenience within one week.
The case will be presented to our weekly brain tumor board when members of the clinical team will gather to review the case in detail and formulate the most personalized treatment plan for additional therapy.
Currently, there are several ongoing clinical trials for pediatric brain and spine tumors at UF. In addition, we are the only Southeast US member of the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC). This network of 18 children's hospitals is dedicated to translating the latest findings in cancer biology and personalized medicine into better treatment for children with brain and spine tumors. We are also the only Florida member of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC). The PBTC was formed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1999 to improve the treatment of primary brain tumors in children. The participating centers are responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of a large percentage of children with primary brain tumors in the United States. All of these allow us to provide the latest treatments to our patients.
Leading the way in national brain tumor research
The Preston A. Wells Jr. Center for Brain Tumor Therapy is home to some of the most advanced neuro-oncology research in the world. The Lillian S. Wells Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Florida is one of the top-funded neurosurgery departments in the United States. Supported by the National Institutes of Health and other grant sources, the department is a destination for some of the top researchers in the area of neuro-oncology. The brain tumor research teams at the center include more than 20 scientists who are focused on finding a cure for brain cancer.
Meet the Research Team
Florida Center for Brain Tumor Research
Since 2006, experts within the Florida Center for Brain Tumor Research, or FCBTR, at the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Brain Institute at UF have worked with hospitals statewide to collect tissue and disseminate data on brain tumors, creating a powerful tool to facilitate clinical trials, funding opportunities, and research collaborations.
FCBTR is a collaborative effort, sponsored by the state of Florida, and its Scientific Advisory Council includes top researchers from H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic Florida, Scripps Research Institute, Orlando Health UF Health Cancer Center – Orlando Health, University of Miami and a representative of neurosurgeons in private practice. FCBTR has sponsored annual statewide brain tumor biomedical technology summits to encourage collaboration.

Color Your Business Success: How does ROYAL BLUE impact us?
Royal or indigo blue is a powerful color that is connected to intuition and the right side of the brain.
It stimulates creativity. It helps transform people's beliefs and aids in developing new insights. It's a color of the higher self and one's own spirit. At the same time, it is connected to the truth, fidelity, and selflessness.
It's a good color to use to convey integrity and sincerity. Royal blue also suggests tradition such as those found in structural institutions.
Indigo is an advantage in businesses where structure and tradition are important, such as educational organizations, law firms and banks.
Indigo combines well with other bright jewel colors such as magenta, emerald green, turquoise, and pink.
Royal blue implies trust, honest, and loyalty. It indicates that you are sincere and will give fair treatment to your customers.

U.S. Department of Education Officials Visit ECHS
ECS News
Photo: US Dept. of Ed. officials listen to an ECHS student as he gives them a tour of our award winning campus.
On September 16, 2013, we were proud to host U.S. Department of Education officials as part of the "Education Built to Last" facilities and best practices tour. The national tour consisted of visits to 16 west coast schools that have received the national Green Ribbon Schools Award.
ECHS is a proud recipient of the inaugural U.S. Department of Education's Green Ribbon Schools award. The award honors schools and districts that are exemplary in reducing environmental impact and costs; improving the health and wellness of students and staff; and providing effective environmental and sustainability education, which incorporates STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), civic skills and green career pathways.
ECS Founder Alison Suffet Diaz shared, "Visits like these are a great acknowledgement of our staff, our students and our approach. We want to continue to share our campus and best practices with educators far and wide."
In addition to U.S. Department of Education officials, many other local dignitaries attended the student-led tour of the ECHS campus including officials from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), City of Lawndale, California Charter Schools Association (CCSA) and Los Angeles County Office of Education.

I am a developer from XDA and we all know that the few android tablet owners get almost no love from google all too well. I love airdroid and I have been lazy and havent posted this yet, now to the point.
I have an ICS 4.0.4 tablet and I thought that an interface both more tablet friendly and give them some extra features and remove the ones that are special for phones (e.g. calling, messaging, etc... Except on cell network capable tablets). This would both bring in more users, and you could release a pro version to bring in more revenue.
If you need assistance in developing for a tablet, let me know because I would gladly lend my time coding for one of my favorite apps!
Other than that, thank you airdroid for making a wonderful app! I would gladly pay money for a pro version!


If you thought Bear Grylls was the test of your gut, think again. A new show on CNN, which is an original series produced by the network, called 'Believer' has had people throwing up all over their television sets and gadgets all across the world. The host with the aim of traveling the world and learning about various cultures, host Reza Aslan is ready to take up the most gross of acts. Even cannibalism.
In fact, it is a particular episode, Aslan took cannibalism to a whole other disgusting – and as some have deemed it, racist – level as he came to India to experience an "extreme Hindu sect" known as the Aghori. The Twitterverse was quick to react to this, err, rare act of not only indulging in inhuman practice but also in a way promoting the Aghori practice, which in a way the majority found disrespectful towards the Hindu belief.

Music Worth Hearing—And Seeing
Home  Movie Reviews  Music Worth Hearing—And Seeing
Movie Reviews September 21, 2010
I love music almost as much as I love movies. That's why I start every morning with a visit to Tin Pan Alley at www.youtube.com/user/petermintunmusic, where the gifted pianist, singer and musicologist Peter Mintun offers "A Different Tune Each Day." I've also had some wonderful experiences in recent months watching DVDs that celebrate a wide variety of music I happen to like. These documentaries and performance videos don't have marketing muscle behind them, so they depend on loyal followers and word-of-mouth. That's why I'm happy to recommend them here, in the hope that I can expand that audience just a bit.
Sons of the Pioneers 75th Anniversary Show, Volume 1 is a live 2009 performance by the current incarnation of the classic country music group formed in the 1930s by Bob Nolan, Tim Spencer, and a young fellow who would become world-famous as Roy Rogers. The group has undergone many changes over the decades but the present-day group keeps the—
—spirit of the original alive quite nicely, and includes such perennials as Nolan's "Cool Water" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" in its repertoire. I must admit I was critical at first, as the new ensemble can't quite match the beautiful harmonies of the vintage Sons, but it didn't take long for the good cheer and musicality of these professionals to win me over—as they do the audience at Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubador Theater in Nashville. There are sixteen songs in all, punctuated by reminiscences and observations about the Sons' long history by thirty-year member Gary LeMaster, forty-year member Luther Nallie, and Ranger Doug (aka Douglas Green) of Riders in the Sky. Roy Rogers' grandson Rob Johnson introduces the video, and performers Connie Smith and Charlie McCoy join the group on individual numbers. I wish the vintage film clips that appear as bonus material were of much better quality, but the concert itself is very enjoyable. You can learn more and purchase a DVD at www.sonsofthepioneers.org.
Perhaps it says something about me, or the company I keep, but I have several friends who are outstanding ukulele players. One of them, Jim Beloff, has been largely responsible for the revival of this lovely instrument, and with his wife Liz runs Flea Market Music, the primary destination for all things uke-related. (www.fleamarketmusic.com) Because of Jim I became acquainted with a charming new documentary called Mighty Uke, directed by Tony Coleman and produced by Margaret Meagher. It's a cheerful chronicle of the ukulele's history and remarkable comeback that spans the globe. The highlight for me was learning about the school program in Langley, Vancouver that introduces kids to strumming and, before long, has them playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "The William Tell Overture." I don't always pay attention to the "extras" on documentary DVDs but in this case I urge you to watch every bonus segment: each one is a delight. When you see Arab and Israeli children singing and playing a tune called "Ukuleles for Peace" I dare you not to smile. You can see more, and purchase the disc, at www.mightyukemovie.com.
The uke is just one of the surprising instruments you'll hear in Bach & Friends, Michael Lawrence's glorious celebration of the great master's work in which musicians of all kinds not only play but talk about why Bach inspires them. From the vocalese of Bobby McFerrin and Ward Swingle (of the Swingle Singers) to the beautiful sounds of ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro and mandolinist Chris Thile, this elegantly executed documentary makes you want to hear more of each musician's work. You'll hear Bach played on water glasses, in resonant churches, and on stage by such artists as Joshua Bell, Béla Fleck, the Emerson String Quartet, Edgar Meyer, and many others, and hear from such passionate admirers as composer Philip Glass. There's even an entertaining detour to learn about the infamous P.D.Q. Bach from Peter Schickele. I don't listen to classical music on a regular basis, but I found this video both inspiring and enriching. You can play a variety of clips and purchase a copy at www.mlfilms.com/productions/bach_project.
I first saw Count Basie: Swingin' the Blues when it was new, in 1992, and it has been reissued a number of times in various video formats, but when I received a new digitally-remastered DVD I decided to revisit it—and I'm glad I did. Directed by Matthew Seig, written by Albert Murray, and produced by Toby Byron and Richard Saylor, this hour-long tribute to the peerless pianist and bandleader is a joy from start to finish.
With a generous array of vintage film clips, interview footage, and reminiscences from a number of veteran Basie band alumni (including Harry "Sweets" Edison, Al Grey, Illinois Jacquet, Buddy Tate, Earle Warren, Jay McShann, and the great Joe Williams), Swingin' the Blues reaffirms Basie's eminence in the annals of jazz—and reminds us of what we're missing today. One of a series of documentaries on jazz, this Basie disc is released by EuroArts and is available at Amazon.com.
If you love big band music and don't already own the Warner Bros. Big Band, Jazz & Swing DVD set, you don't know what you're missing. This six-disc set is jam-packed with Vitaphone one- and two-reelers from the 1930s and even some MGM band shorts from the late 1940s, an unbelievable cornucopia of material.
For those of us who spent years hunting for the occasional 16mm print and later, reveling in the amazing Vitaphone laserdisc set, the idea of a comprehensive DVD collection that covers so much ground is mind-blowing. The Warner Archive website even has a clip of Artie Shaw and his band playing their timeless hit "Begin the Beguine."
I could go on and on about this collection. The "Rambling Round Radio Row" series would be worth the price of admission all by itself. In addition to performances by such musical luminaries as The Boswell Sisters, Kate Smith, and saxophone legend Rudy Wiedoft, you get to see such comedy performers as Col. Stoopnagle and Budd, Roy Atwell, who used his spoonerisms when he provided the voice of Doc in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Teddy "Blubber" Bergman, who changed his name to Alan Reed and became the voice of Fred Flintstone. There are legendary shorts like photographer Gjon Mili's Jammin' the Blues (1944) and the impossibly energetic Smash Your Baggage (1933) featuring the entertainers from Small's Paradise in Harlem (including future trumpet star Roy Eldridge), who leave most vaudeville and tap-dancing presentations in the dust. The bands on display include Jimmie Lunceford, Cab Calloway, Freddie Rich, Larry Clinton, Ozzie Nelson, Henry Busse, Woody Herman, Hal Kemp, Stan Kenton, Desi Arnaz, and Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra, to name just a few. What a remarkable compilation.
And if you love this kind of music and want to hear new interpretations of it, you ought to know Don Neely's Royal Society Jazz Orchestra. A visit to www.rsjo.com will open the portal to audio and video samples of this wonderful band and impel you to try some of their CDs. If you live in the San Francisco Bay area you can even see them in person.
One final musical note: the remarkable Richard Sherman, of Sherman Brothers fame, has recently released an unusual CD comprised of solo piano compositions. These are tunes he wrote for his own satisfaction over the years; fortunately, producer James Jensen, one of his most ardent fans (check out his Poppin' Guitars CD), persuaded him to share these private musical musings with all of us in a disc called Forgotten Dreams.
Tunes like "Ambition," "Early Years," and "Big City" have a delicate, often wistful quality about them, and like the more famous Sherman Brothers songs we all know, they are deceptively simple. This is a lovely footnote to a distinguished career. For more information go to www.solidairrecords.com.

« vSlider 3.2 Lock and Loaded
Gaikai unveiled
Thu 26, March 2009 22:29:54
These are exciting times…
The site has not been updated for a very long time - there have been no new releases of vSlider for a while, and even most of the email I've received is still piling up unanswered.
But this was for a very good reason - my full attention has been diverted to an ambitious new project, which has been kept under wraps for quite a while.
But no longer - this week Gaikai was publicly announced at Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. This announcement was made a bit ahead of time (it wasn't planned until summer), but the fact that OnLive has made the news… well…, brought a change of plans
Gaikai is a startup I've co-founded last year. Together with my partners-in-crime, Andrew Gault and David Perry, we are working on a breakthrough concept and technology we call "Streaming Worlds". It allows players to experience the full richness of modern games directly on their browsers without installing any custom plugins. Instead, the games are run remotely on a cloud infrastructure, the graphics and sound are converted into a video stream in real time and delivered directly into your browser. The technology works, and it is *extremely* cool
I would love to tell you more, but right now most of it is top-secret…
As you can imagine, this takes ALL of my time (and then some), so most likely I won't be able to keep vSlider updated any more. It seems to still work well on the WordPress 2.7.x, but then again, it might break horribly somewhere I haven't noticed… The code is, as has always been, freely available and I'm more than happy to pass on the development task to anyone with the time and skills. If you are interested, drop me a line.

Guys, if you are right of what you're saying (OnLive still has the download problem), you could be the next "liberation" for home (and not so home) gaming…
I will be watching it closely!

Q: Why does my loop not end on meeting a specific condition? Problem:
Whenever I use a while loop to ask the user for input n times, it goes past that condition, ignores it, and then loops an additional time.
For example, if I want my while loop to execute 5 times, it will instead execute 6 times.
What it does currently: it starts with asking:
Enter Number 0: until it reaches Enter Number 4. However, instead of ending at number 4, it continues to ask for Number 5. So in total, there are 6 Numbers, from Number 0 to Number 5.
I should also add: you can type@@ to stop entering numbers, then it will exit that loop and do something with those numbers.
Launcher.java
/* Global Variables */
static final int MAXTIMESTOLOOP = 5;
static LinkedList<String> numberList = new LinkedList<String>();
static int totalNumbers = 0;

public static void main(String[] args) {
       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
       String numberInput;

       System.out.print("Enter number " + totalNumbers + ". Type @@ to stop.");
       numberInput = input.next();

       while(!numberInput.equals("@@") && totalNumbers < MAXTIMESTOLOOP) {
             /* Add number to numberList */
             numberList.add(numberInput);
             totalNumbers++;
             System.out.print("Enter number " + totalNumbers + ". Type @@ to stop.");
             numberInput = input.next();

       }
}

Unintended Output
Enter number 0. Type @@ to stop. 5
Enter number 1. Type @@ to stop. 8
[..]
Enter number 4. Type @@ to stop. 12
Enter number 5. Type @@ to stop. 14

Instead, I want it to stop at number 4, since that is when it should terminate.
Intended Output
Enter number 0. Type @@ to stop. 12
Enter number 1. Type @@ to stop. 4
[...]
Enter number 4. Type @@ to stop. 1

Rather than continuing to number 5, I want it to stop at number 4. But I cannot seem to pinpoint what is the cause of the reason.
Suspected Reasons
After debugging the code, I found that the variable totalNumbers increases to 5 and then loops back around. I don't understand why that is since I have the condition: totalNumbers < MAXTIMESTOLOOP that is the same as while(0 < 5)

A: The first number is entered before your while loop, but does not increment TOTALNUMBERS. Within your loop, the continuation condition of TOTALNUMBERS < MAXTIMESTOLOOP is met when TOTALNUMBERS=4, but is incremented within the loop, displaying the 5th entry prompt.
I would modify the loop to move the test condition to the end, and eliminate the extraneous input.
   do {
         /* Add number to numberList */
          System.out.print("Enter number " + TOTALNUMBERS + ". Type @@ to stop.");
         numberInput = input.next();
         if (!numberInput.equals("@@")){
             numberList.add(numberInput);
             TOTALNUMBERS++;
         }
   }
   while (!numberInput.equals("@@") && TOTALNUMBERS < MAXTIMESTOLOOP);

A: You could try to use the do-while loop, as follows:
static final int MAXTIMESTOLOOP = 5;
static LinkedList<String> numberList = new LinkedList<String>();
static int TOTALNUMBERS = 0;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    String numberInput;

    do{
        System.out.print("Enter number " + TOTALNUMBERS + ". Type @@ to stop.");
        numberInput = input.next();

        /* Add number to numberList */
        numberList.add(numberInput);
        TOTALNUMBERS++;
    }
    while (!numberInput.equals("@@") && TOTALNUMBERS < MAXTIMESTOLOOP);
}

A: The two lines before the while loop are redundant since you're executing them anyway inside the loop.
Your main method should look like this:
public static void main (String [] args){

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    String numberInput = "";

    while(!numberInput.equals("@@") && totalNumbers < MAXTIMESTOLOOP) {

             System.out.print("Enter number " + totalNumbers + ". Type @@ to stop.");
             numberInput = input.next();
             /* Add number to numberList */
             if(!numberInput.equals("@@")){
             numberList.add(numberInput);}
             totalNumbers++;

       }
       }

Notice I moved some things around in the loop. I moved TOTALNUMBERS++ to the end because you want the first print statement to print 0 not 1.

Simply put, the headspace analysis is to analyze the gas present in the headspace vial. The laboratory vials used for headspace analysis are called headspace vials.
The essence of this experiment is that the volatile sample is heated and volatilized to form a gas in the space on the top of the sample vials and then diffused. Eventually allowing the top gas in the gas chromatograph vials above the volatile sample to enter the gas phase detection.
When the volatile or semi-volatile mixture has a higher boiling point, we need to heat it up to get it vaporized at the top. In this process, the liquid (solid or solid-liquid coexistence) sample is at the bottom, so the substance in the top gas can eventually be measured without touching the liquid in the sample bottle.
Top space gas chromatography is most suitable for the sample analysis of light component volatiles. This measurement technique can be used to analyze the gas in the top space of the liquid sample and apply to the solid dispersion method.
Top space gas analysis also helps in automated quality control or sample screening. This is a highly reproducible sample using modern instruments, enabling the entire experiment to be prepared for analysis in an efficient and accurate manner.
GC headspace technique is used to analyze the gasification of solid and liquid samples of volatile organic compounds. In recent years, the popularity of this technology has been recognized by laboratories around the world, especially for the analysis of residual organic solvents in alcohol, blood and pharmaceutical products.
Other common applications include industrial analysis, detection of volatile substances such as chemicals and plastics, flavor compounds in beverages and foods, perfumes and cosmetics.


Girl Scout All-States Encampments were held yearly from 1951 through 1968, held in several different states over the years. Like the Roundups, competition was high to be selected to attend an All-States, whether you were a Senior Girl Scout or an adult volunteer. Some years the camp was international with campers and volunteers from other countries, often using the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund to cover costs.
A Senior Girl Scout Roundup could be considered the highlight of any Girl Scout's path.
The requirements to apply for a slot were high and the competition was stiff. Generally 8 girls were chosen to represent each council. 2 alternate girls were also chosen. Those 8 girls were one patrol, they would join 3 other patrols (intentionally chosen from 3 other geographical areas) to form 1 troop. 2 adults were selected to be leaders. All girls and adult volunteers had to attend training and encampments in their regions to prepare for the Roundup. Not only were Roundup Camp Uniforms required, the Seniors often traveled to the Roundup in the full Senior dress uniform! Girls from other countries were invited to attend as well. This was a cream of the crop campout.
It was meant to show off the best of Girl Scouting.
Each roundup had a theme/slogan and the trading post had many "Roundup" items to offer beyond the pins and patches; dolls in roundup uniforms, plates, ashtrays, handkerchiefs, mugs, ceramic tiles, etc.
All-States Encampments did not carry the sponsorship of the big Roundups and also did not have nearly the number of items to find.

What is Occupational Health
Occupational health is a field of healthcare involving multiple fields dedicated to the well-being and safety of employees in the workplace, with a strong focus on injury prevention and education. Some occupational health services include employee wellness, Pre-placement services, ergonomics, occupational therapy, and occupational medicine.
Occupational health refers to the identification and control of the risks arising from physical, chemical, and other workplace hazards in order to establish and maintain a safe and healthy working environment. These hazards may include chemical agents and solvents, heavy metals such as lead and mercury, physical agents such as loud noise or vibration, and physical hazards such as electricity or dangerous machinery.
Since 1986, the NIEHS has supported training and education programs designed to protect workers and their communities from exposure to toxic materials encountered during hazardous waste operations and chemical emergency response. This includes safety and health training for workers who are involved in hazardous waste removal and comprehensive training and environmental restoration for residents living near heavily polluted industrial waste sites.

The presentation of a plate is as important as its taste. By analyzing the sun angles during the different class sessions in the last day of the academic year, the building allows the perfect beam of light to cut through the perforated metal skin and slightly wash the final project of the culinary students. The same way every critique room has its own enlightenment moment, many spaces throughout the building have similar conditions. In the restaurant, an army of 36 skylights catch the northern light and make the dining-in experience more pleasant.
In the higher levels of the building, a series of lounges, computer labs, practice kitchens and study areas allow students to live and study smoothly. Many of these spaces look into the atrium and the vertical circulation. The light chimneys This enlightenment connection of frosted glass which creates evenly distributed light all around them, these chimneys feed many of the spaces with natural light all throughout the day.
Challenges: Community: -	To increase the sense of community in the area, the building has a restaurant in the first level open to everyone. -	The landscape around the building, allows people from SCAD and Atlanta to transit around the building. -	An auditorium in the first level of the building, allows for multiple presentations open to the public. Presentation of the culinary arts: -	The lighting of the building was design for the presentation of the dishes. -	In the restaurant, windows located at the level of the hands, allows the customers to see their plates being made. -	All classrooms are equipped with everything to allows student to have a good learning experience.
SCADTaste is a conceptual project for the Savannah College of Art and Design. This facility will house a new culinary branch for the school, providing a space for the students and the community of Atlanta. The plan (sited in Midtown Atlanta right besides SCAD Atlanta and the Peach-tree Christian Church) includes a residential tower, a higher education facility, and a restaurant.
I think it will be fantastic the idea for more projects like this! Specially for the community of Atlanta.
I vote for SCADTASTE proyect. It is a very important project.
Eres un ser de luz… cada día nos sorprendes más!!!! El mundo celebra tu creatividad, tu intuición e innovación!!! Sigue transformando!!!

Objective: Social isolation is a common problem in older people who move into care that has negative consequences for well-being. This is of particular concern for men, who are marginalised in long-term care settings as a result of their reduced numbers and greater difficulty in accessing effective social support, relative to women. However, researchers in the social identity tradition argue that developing social group memberships can counteract the effects of isolation. We test this account in this study by examining whether increased socialisation with others of the same gender enhances social identification, well-being (e.g. life satisfaction, mood), and cognitive ability.
Method: Care home residents were invited to join gender-based groups (i.e. Ladies and Gentlemen's Clubs). Nine groups were examined (five male groups, four female groups) comprising 26 participants (12 male, 14 female), who took part in fortnightly social activities. Social identification, personal identity strength, cognitive ability and well-being were measured at the commencement of the intervention and 12 weeks later.
Results: A clear gender effect was found. For women, there was evidence of maintained well-being and identification over time. For men, there was a significant reduction in depression and anxiety, and an increased sense of social identification with others.
Conclusion: While decreasing well-being tends to be the norm in long-term residential care, building new social group memberships in the form of gender clubs can counteract this decline, particularly among men.


The Toyota Prius was Japan's best-selling car in 2011, the third straight year the popular gas-electric hybrid claimed the country's top spot.
A total of 252,528 units of the Prius were sold over the year, thanks in large part to the growing environment-friendly attitude among Japanese consumers. The brand's sales were assisted by solid sales of the Prius Alpha, a wagon version of the car that first hit the streets here in May.
And Japan's largest car company is aiming to hang on to the top spot in the year ahead, unveiling the Prius c at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Tuesday.
The car -- the "c" stands for city -- is a more compact, nimble and affordable version of the Prius that is designed for young city residents and will go on sale in March.
Honda Motor Co.'s Fit was second on the best-seller list with 207,882 units, up from fourth spot in the previous year's rankings, while the Wagon R minicar by Suzuki Motor Corp. was third with sales of 160,439 units.
Total sales of all cars over the entire calendar year were down by 20 percent, however, primarily because domestic manufacturers' supply chains for components were crippled by the March 11 magnitude-9 earthquake and tsunami in north-east Japan.
To make up for the shortfall, overseas car makers increased their imports into Japan and total sales of foreign cars surpassed 10 percent for the first time ever in 2011.
Sales of new imported vehicles, including those made by Japanese firms at their production facilities overseas, were up more than 22 percent in 2010 to 275,644 units.
Of the foreign brands, Volkswagen was the most popular for the 12th straight year, selling 50,635 units, an increase of 8.4 percent. The other top performers from overseas were BMW, which sold 34,195 cars, up 5.5 percent, and Mercedes-Benz.

ACEC NEW YORK SUPPORTS
EMERGENCY RESPONDER LEGISLATION
The American Council of Engineering Companies of New York (ACEC New York) strongly supports emergency responder legislation to prevent future misguided lawsuits against engineering firms for on-site conditions that are entirely outside their assigned responsibility. Unlike Good Samaritan Laws, which protect only unpaid volunteers from liability for work performed during state or national disasters, emergency responder legislation would provide design professionals immunity from lawsuits that attempt to make engineers responsible for work outside their scope. Legislation currently introduced in the Assembly and Senate will ensure that engineering firms will be available and able to respond to future emergencies.
Unfortunately, events such as the World Trade Center attack and Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy have shown that many design professional firms face devastating lawsuits as a result of providing emergency response services. The immediate response by the engineering community in providing structural consulting services at Ground Zero contributed to perhaps the largest recovery and site cleanup in modern history. Structural engineers were hired to assess the structural stability of the surrounding buildings and the massive debris pile that in areas reached the height of a ten-story building. They performed this task successfully as no serious injury or fatality resulted from structural instability. Unfortunately, there are numerous lawsuits against these firms not pertaining to their work as professional engineers, but rather to claims by over 10,000 plaintiffs who allege illness due to toxic exposures. We support pending federal legislation establishing an adequate compensation fund for individuals who participated in the rescue, recovery and debris removal effort. Accordingly, structural engineers should not be held liable, as air quality is outside of their expertise and scope of work.
The engineering profession is committed to public safety and integrity, but their responsibility to the public can only extend to the areas in which they are knowledgeable. The lawsuits pertaining to air quality at Ground Zero are an exacerbating problem to these firms hired to assess structural matters. Not only are the lawsuits themselves enormously expensive, but they also call into question whether firms can afford to offer their services in the event of future catastrophes. Following Hurricane Katrina, there were virtually no engineering volunteers from New York because of their fear of litigation. It is unfortunate that litigation regarding health effects at Ground Zero would prevent engineers from aiding in catastrophic situations, where their expertise is not only helpful, but necessary.
There is a strong public interest in protecting the lives and property of victims during and after a disaster. It is in the interest of all to encourage those with critical expertise to volunteer and provide services that will aid in recovery. ACEC New York is promoting common-sense change so that in the future, engineers will be able to step up and provide necessary expertise without putting their businesses or personal property at risk.
