Is "Water Education" For You?
Trying to decide on a career can be tough. Most people would say they want a job they enjoy and that makes a difference in the lives of other people. Whether you're a high school graduate or middle-aged person looking for a career change, colleges and universities offer abundant options in many different fields, and the search for a degree program can seem endless.
A degree in a water-related field opens up doors in many areas from health to science and engineering to business. Career options for those who choose to pursue a degree in "water" abound. Many colleges and universities across the U.S. and around the world offer degrees in various water-related fields, including hydrology, water resources management and water resources engineering. Before deciding which field to enter, it is important to consider your options.
Water is a natural, essential component of our everyday existence. Professor and hydrologist, Dr. Todd Jarvis, of Oregon State University states that, "Water is life. Water is embedded in virtually everything we use daily from Google searches, computer chips, clothing, and plastics, to our favorite foods and beverages." The need for this resource is undeniable, and as Jarvis states, "water is connected across so many disciplines."
Some would argue that a degree in "water" is necessary to the pursuit of a career in the field. UC Davis graduate, Angela Carmi, claims that, "experience alone is not sufficient to thoroughly understand the many guiding principles and nuances of the specialties in water resources; it is critical to obtain advanced education in order to practice in the field of water resources." But why even pursue a career in this field? What are the benefits?
University professors and students alike say that global climate change and increases in population are affecting this resource tremendously. University of Wisconsin student, Michelle Balk says, "This century is predicted to be the century of water. With the global climate changes occurring, many of the normal sources for water are changing and potentially being lost. Combine this with the continuing increase in population, and you have a clear issue in the near future." Water resources management professionals, and environmental and water resources engineers tackle these issues in various ways, providing safe drinking water and sanitation to those who need it and managing water in order to "prevent flooding and other natural disasters," according to Dr. Michael Johnson of Utah State.
The need for these professionals continues to grow, even during an economic recession, making job security one of the main benefits of pursuing a career in this industry. Dr. Peggy Johnson of Penn State University states that "The combination of needs for safe and abundant water supplies, infrastructure replacement and maintenance, energy and food (all requiring significant amounts of water) will guarantee a growing job market for our students for many years to come."
"I pursued a career in water resources because I enjoyed working outdoors, meeting new people, traveling the world, and meshing all of this into technical career that integrated computers with science. Later in my career, I became interested in how water resources are managed and why there is so much conflict over water. I have been working continuously for over 25 years in groundwater resources, have never had any problems finding a good paying job, and have traveled all over the world for my work. I still can't believe I get paid for having so much fun."
"OSU ... offers the Water Resources Graduate program...which permits graduate stduents to earn Master's and PhD's in Water Resources Science, Water Resources Engineering and Water Resources Policy and Management. OSU also offers the Certificate in Water Conflict Management and Transformation, a post-graduate program for professionals and students alike, which is one of just a few programs offered in the world. OSU offers two both in-residence and online methods to complete this program."
"Engineering students interested in water resources focus on solving problems related to water development, water treatment, wastewater treatment, and sustainable use as it relates to the construction and operation of dams and dam removals, which is becoming more commonplace with changes in societal values and climate change. Science-based students focus on inquiry - exploring how water moves underground, in rivers, through wetlands, how it connects to ecosystems (fish, forests, farms), and how it is reused. These students encompass many backgrounds in the physical, chemical, biological, and health sciences. Policy and management students wrestle with the complexities of hydropolitics, hydrodiplomacy, hydrohegemony - the who gets what, when, where and why? They also study how to resolve conflicts over water resources, as well as how to prevent disputes. Some of these students also study the 'value' of water and associated environmental services related to water as water economists."
Water resources and engineering students pursue a large range of careers in many areas, including: environmental impact studies; data collection and analysis; water resources planning and management; drought and flood analysis; river system management; water quality investigations; ground water studies and research; education; human health; building; municipal water and wastewater; consulting engineering and environmental equipment sales. Students obtain employment with many different organizations: private consulting firms; schools; non-profit organizations; government; waste treatment plants and more. According to UC Davis Professor, Dr. Jay Lund, PhD graduates become professors at research universities and some even run water ministries in countries overseas.
The options abound. Because the need for water professionals is so great in many areas, according to Jarvis, "the only OSU Water Resources Graduate Program alumni that have not found jobs after they graduate are the ones who are not looking."
Research funding, teaching and work assistantships are available in many graduate programs. According to Johnson, these "attract and retain an excellent pool of students." Scholarships and grants are also available. The University of New Mexico does not offer teaching or research assistantships, but "because it is located in a large city with many federal, state, and local water resource management agencies as well as water consulting firms, there are many internship opportunities," says Dr. Bruce Thomson, UNM's Water Resources Program Director. Thomson claims that about two-thirds of the students in his program "have full or part-time employment with firms or agencies that deal with water issues."
Scholarships and grants are also available in some programs. According to Jarvis, "Each state has a Water Resources Research Institute that is administered through grants from the U.S. Geological Survey that is very student-centric and promotes funding of students through small grants." In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Science Foundation provides scholarships to students at Oregon State University, along with private donors who are OSU alumni. Jarvis jokingly states that "one student has their entire M.S. program funded through a 'hydrophilanthropist.'" The money may come from various places, but no matter the source, students accepted into the program at OSU (and in many other schools across the country) are pretty much guaranteed at least partial funding upon acceptance.
Students who wish to study abroad also have the opportunity to earn scholarships. CEO of the International WaterCentre, Mark Pascoe states that "The IWC offers Water Leader Scholarships every year, which cover full or partial tuition fees."
"The biggest piece of advice I have is to know what area you'd like to work in. There's such a wide band of uses for such a degree, you should have some sort of idea about where you'd like to work so you can best tailor your classes to your field. Are you more interested in environmental or humanitarian application? Do you want to work with surface water or ground water? Do the biological processes and habitats created by water interest you, or do you prefer the chemical and water quality aspect more? Figure out where you'd like to be within the spectrum, and then use that knowledge to focus in and find the classes that will most benefit you. Not only will this help you learn about that topic, but it will also make finding a position in that field that much easier."
But, obtaining the degree is only the beginning. If you stop there, your perspective will be limited. Thomson advises that, "All students wishing to pursue careers in water-related fields should take advantage of opportunities to broaden their knowledge beyond that which can be obtained in a single graduate program." Often, direct experience in the field during and after college provides such opportunities.
Even if you know what area of study you'd like to pursue, it is important to research your school options and decide carefully which institution to attend based on your individual needs. There are different factors to consider when choosing a school, such as location, reputation and the types of degree programs offered. Carmi shares the reason why she chose to attend UC Davis: "the surface and groundwater systems in California are the most complex, politically diverse, and engineered systems in the world and therefore catalyzes exciting and cutting edge research in all aspects of the water resources field. The program of study for water reflects this complexity and depth and therefore provides one of the more comprehensive programs available in this country. This was the critical reason for my choice in attending this school."
"This program is quite unique in that it has been developed by practitioners from four universities, and it is delivered and co-badged by these four institutions. It is unusual to have universities working together in such a way, and therefore gives us access to the top professionals in varying disciplines from each institution. The program is taught using a hands-on, problem-based approach which allows students to get real-world experience of the theory they learn in lectures, by working on real projects and case studies, individually and in groups."
The sooner you begin researching your options, the better off you will be when it comes to choosing a career and program of study in such a diverse field. The schools mentioned in this article are a good starting point. You may also wish to contact other people in the field who have chosen "water" as a career and find out what steps they took to arrive at where they are now.

SBS band. The rules are there are no rules, this group started as an outlet for pure experimentation and to get away from the band structures that each member already participated in with other projects. This group started exploring all kinds of ways to play the bass drums and guitar using power tools, effects and anything else they could get their hands on. The outcome was a rich sonic wall of textures reaching new creative heights. Mike Spicer, Brian Baker and, Jeff Strawbridge have been playing together for 25 years. They have recorded over 15 albums and with "Corn Whiskey" have decided for the first time to make the music available for public consumption. Art rock for musicians and artists that enjoy free expression.


While introducing the second edition of my book Adwa' 'ala al-Sunnah al-Muhammadiyyah, or Difa' 'an al-hadith, I find myself obliged to present an express comment on its first edition, and how was the reaction and response toward it on the part of people with their different strata and inclinations.
Concerning the eminent scholars and leading thinkers in our homeland and other countries, this book – thanks to God for His favour and help – has gained their pleasure and appreciation with much applause, may Allah reward them the best, on my behalf and that of knowledge. In regard of those who dislike investigation in research, strival (ijtihad) in comprehension, and free thinking, seeing knowledge to lie only in whatever they have learned through dictation from their chiefs and shaykhs … these people reacted to it – as was expected – with severe protest, making widespread campaign against it here and there, and even authoring books to this end. My reaction or stance toward such people was turning away from them, never facing them with the same stance and practices.
But, through any of these books – despite their voluminousness and abundance – I have never come across even one study of worth or a subjective criticism based on a modern scientific style that showing a truth or rectifying an error, or modifying a viewpoint, with their value being only disclosing the actual morals and nature of their authors with the level of their knowledge. And if such type of criticism was justifiable for some people in the past, it has verily become nowadays so detested, with no one resorting to it but only the ignorant who know nothing of the principles of criticism.
This is due to the fact that the proper criticism in the present time verily rests upon established principles of full perfect knowledge, sagacious intellect and sound logic, beside the critic's being of chaste tongue and polite style as a prime condition. Through these conditions alone, criticism can undertake its mission best so as to be approved and accepted by people, with having the required effect and impression upon hearts and minds altogether.
The fact of which man may never perish out of wonder, being that all those who blasted and opposed my book have in fact neither managed to recognize its real purpose and objective, nor been able to be aware of its aims. The reason behind this might be traced back to its being beyond their cognizance and perception, and its theme being strange and unknown to them. Beside its research being based on modern scientific methodology which they fail and be short of attaining and recognizing, as when they were faced with it were frightened entailing to their denial and opposition to it for fearing from its implications for them.
Had kept us immune from evil of his knowledge!
After all this, I announce with full confidence and self-assurance that verily no harm is there to inflict my book because of such a feeble baseless criticism, which only added to its value, and sublimated its position.
Following is the story of my book with the investigating and non-investigating scholars, recorded here, in a brief statement for sake of serving the truth and history, so as to remain for ever as a sincere ensign and evidence to be read by all generations throughout ages. Through this, people get to know how some shaykhs of religion – in our age, of enlightenment, knowledge and atom – would react toward knowledge books produced through serious investigation in research, and strival in conceptualization, and freedom in thought!!
I have no choice here but to refer to a point I found so clear in the criticism launched by the critics, that is their campaigns were intensified in regard of Abu Hurayrah in particular, and reliability of the Companions (Sahabah) in general, to an extent reaching an unreasonable stage. Therefore, for fulfilling my duty toward truth and history and respecting knowledge sanctity, I found myself obliged to review and revise my book as a whole. Out of this I intended to reinforce its sections and support its chapters, with authentic sources and asanid having consideration among Ahl al-Sunnah of which I abstained publishing in the first edition and which may be found after the coming out of this edition. They cover these two subjects (Abu Hurayrah and Sahabah) with all other topics of the book that actually need reconsideration, revision, rectification, omission, addition and elucidation, especially those points being stated for the first time, till the book turned to be defectless and perfect.
"Whoever ponders and meditates, training his self to be pacified at realities, though they be painful for it at first shock, his rejoicing at being censured by people shall be much more than that rejoice caused by praising him.
May Allah guide us all toward the straightforward path and bestow upon us His grace and pleasure. He is surely the Benevolent the Merciful.
Before finishing with preparing the second edition of this book, I find myself obliged to publish this explanatory statement to give replies for two accurate comments. One given by the honourable scholar Dr. Taha Husayn after reading the first edition of this book twice, as he expressed – may God preserve him – in the interesting chapter he wrote about my book, in which he applauded it and its author, for which I present my gratitude and sincere praise. I have sought God's guidance to make of this chapter the introduction to this edition.
While citing to people the story of hadith, exposing what happened to it at the hands of the narrators, and that which befell it out of the fabrication of fabricators and others, beside alike things I stated in my book, I quote again some traditions as proofs for whatever I intend to confirm or negate, or other than this! Which seems to be only paradox.
This comment is worthy of regard, should I believe in the veracity of the traditions I am quoting, assuring their being uttered, with their words and denotations, by the Prophet (S)! For warding off this suspicion I say: The traditions I am citing through my discussion as evidences supporting my views in the book, are only mentioned for convincing those who can never be persuaded but only by such traditions, since they consider them as intuitions in which they firmly believe.
Through this I have not transgressed the principles of logic and methods of argumentation and debate. Since we have the term al-dalil al-iqna'i (the convincing evidence), where one can argue with his opponent with something the latter considers intuitive. The example for this being the Muslim's arguing the Christian with something stated in the Gospel, while he himself disbelieving in that with which he is arguing.
Or on the contrary of this, or what is called by them dalil al-ilzam (the binding evidence), in which they say: "Bind them with the laws with which they have bound themselves." This issue is quite common among scholars needing no proofs or evidences to prove it.
But this fact never includes all the traditions cited in my book, as signs of veracity seem apparently on some of them, like an exposition of the holy Qur'an, or being in harmony with the sound reason, or "be in accordance with the principles upon which religion was established, toward which the da`wah (call) was launched, and for which Prophethood was bestowed," or through whose denotations I be enlightened by a ray of Nubuwwah light, though being dim and scanty.
Feeling this fact through my inner consciousness, I would take and narrate those traditions in which confidence is felt and reason can believe and admit, considering them to be among the Messenger's explanation of the noble Book. This, while being certain of their being among ahad traditions, and of conjectural evidence that never amounting to the degree of peremptoriness indicating certainty (yaqin), with their narration being through denotation and not with the original words uttered by the Prophet (S).
Intuitionism necessitates us to believe in authenticity of some traditions like the one: "Never write from me other than the Qur'an," the hadith on which I based my book. Because all the contexts and evidences indicate its veracity, with being supported by the acts of the Sahabah, who have all followed it absolutely, abstaining from writing down the Messenger's traditions, besides forbidding people from inscribing them. In this way, all these traditions have reached us through narration (riwayah), not through inscription as in the case of the Qur'an.
The second comment given by the honourable Doctor was through his own words when saying: You have abundantly reported from al-Sayyid Rashid Ridha' (may God's mercy be upon him). I heard this note too from other eminent ulama, which I admit to be an undeniable truth!
My reply to this comment being that, my doing so was never out of unawareness or lacking to evidences, but was verily on purpose on my part for significant reasons.
Of them, that this Sayyid is regarded nowadays one of the reputable leaders of fiqh, whom Ahl al-Sunnah were considering reliable and trustworthy mujtahids, of whom they were taking (traditions and ahkam). And also his being the unrivalled chief of Ahl al-Sunnah traditionists in our time, to the extent being aware of whatever related to the traditions contained in the famous Sunnah books, recognizing what afflicted them at the hands of narrators, beside whatever relevant to subject of my book, unless any other scholar be aware of such things. Sufficient be is that al-Azhar – that great institute – has never introduced or educated, throughout many ages or in our time, anyone that can be his equal in knowledge and research. I am fully responsible for these words.
Due to his enjoying all these attributes, his sayings and opinions shall be – undoubtedly – be considered by Ahl al-Sunnah as decisive arguments (hujaj) and convincing proofs, with no one daring to dispute or deny. That is why I have extensively quoted his sayings and views in my book, taking them as strong evidences supporting my statements.
The same can be true in regard of any other scholar whose utterances I usually quote like Ibn Taymiyyah, of whom I have abundantly quoted. Ahl al-Sunnah call him Shaykh al-Islam, imparting upon him high esteem and status. At the same time we recognize worth of these two eminent scholars, we are aware too of the points for which they be reproached. And the utterances of everyone can be quoted and refuted, except for the owner of the message (S).
I have deliberately done so, since I was aware of the protest to be launched against my book, on the part of those calling themselves Ahl al-Sunnah, exactly as was seen in their reaction toward some chapters of this book that were published in al-Risalah journal several years before coming out of my book. This fact is explicitly demonstrated through the hardships and misfortune I experienced after the coming out of the book from press.
This being my reply to the observations of Dr. Taha Husayn and others, hoping this reply be sufficient and satisfactory for him and all learned 'ulama. I will content myself with this answer.
Here I avail myself of this opportunity to add some lines to this statement in which I disclose a firm reality of whose comprehension some people are misled.
This point being their claim that from my book I intend to achieve a latent purpose, being to impede the Prophetic Sunnah (traditions) from spread and be content with the holy Qur'an in taking all precepts and rules of religion! I know not wherefrom they got this mistaken conception, nor in which chapter of my book I mentioned it, or referred to it in a way or another.
Whereas what I have expressed through clear-cut statements with no ambiguity or obscurity, was that calling people to be precautious and reservative in taking and accepting the traditions, trying their best to seek and find only the sahih (veracious) and authentic ones. Beside discarding and not heeding to the unauthentic and composed ones, after that much distortion to them at the hands of narrators, the fact I elaborated in details in my book. I haven't introduced in this respect anything as a novelty; rather it was the conduct (Sunnah) of the precedent leaders of Islam, and the usual practice of the knowledgeable 'ulama.
Reiterating and emphasizing this more than once, I am certain that the Qur'an being verily the origin of the straightforward religion, and the Sunnah being only its exposer. So the exposition and demonstration should be correct and obvious, and devoid of any suspicion.
Though my words being so obvious and clear, much criticism and sarcasm reached me. But all this has no effect on me whatsoever, and can never be in a way or another detrimental to my book.
Friday 8th of Muharram 1383 H.
1. I have deleted from this introduction more than seventeen pages, in which I stated the standpoint of those who attacked me and my book. Because I preferred to deal mildly and respond to evil with good and kindness, the fact led me to neglect whatever they said and spoke against me. I invoke Allah to forgive all those who vexed and slammed me, and to guide them toward the straightforward path.
2. This book was printed twice, one edition in the city of Sour in Lebanon, and the second one in Cairo.
3. The principle upon which some depend is that the Sahabah as a whole being reliable, inferring the hadith: "My Companions are like stars …" which is baseless. See the book al-Muntaqa of Ibn Taymiyyah, p. 551, and other books.
4. Refer to my book Shaykh al-Mudirah, so as to find the name of that who issued such a judgement, who is - regrettably - a professor teaching the Islamic Shari'ah in one of the Egyptian universities.
5. The great Allamah al-Shaykh Mustafa Abd al-Raziq, the former lecturer in al-Azhar University (may God's mercy be upon him) says: If al-Shaykh Muhammad Abduh be a religious authority (imam), so al-Sayyid Rashid Ridha' would be undoubtedly his companion, interpreter of his madhhab and his complement. The founder of al-Manar (may God's mercy be upon him) has exerted in this respect a tremendous effort, replete with religious researches and fiqhi debates, which had an effective impact on knowledge-seekers and their curricula, and on methods of the Islamic studies throughout all the Islamic countries. (See the book Ra'id al-Fikr al-Misri, p. 15).

Chef de Missions Heading to London for Workshop and Seminar
Chance for NPC representatives to receive updates and valuable information on various areas 05 Sep 2011
"By offering this workshop, we hope that we can support the NPCs in their preparations for the London Paralympics next year."
Chef de Missions and representatives of 108 National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) will be in London this week to receive an update on preparations for the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
On 6 September, 40 representatives from 25 NPCs will take part in a one-day Chef de Mission Workshop organized by the IPC Academy, the International Paralympic Committee's (IPC) education partner. The workshop aims to train and up-skill new and interested team leaders to give them an idea of their responsibilities ahead of next year's Games.
The workshop will cover various areas such as Roles and Responsibilities of Chefs de Mission, the Qualification of Athletes, Entries, Accreditation, Travel, Team Uniforms, and Classification
Attendees will also hear from the USA's 100m T44 world champion and Beijing silver medallist, Jerome Singleton, who will take part in a questions and answers session on the environments needed to ensure athlete success.
Xavier Gonzalez, IPC Chief Executive Officer, said: "This is the first time that we have organized such a workshop and we are very content with the number of team leaders attending.
"By offering this workshop, we hope that we can support the NPCs in their preparations for the London Paralympics next year."
From 7-9 September, the Chef de Missions Seminar is taking place, which is a chance for NPC representatives to receive updates and valuable information on various areas from representatives of the London 2012 Organizing Committee (LOCOG) as well as from the IPC.
Areas to be covered amongst others include Accommodation, Accreditation, Sport Entries, and Ticketing. Chef de Missions will also take a tour of many of the new venues that will be used for next year's Paralympic Games and also have the opportunity to attend International Paralympic Day (IPD) which takes place at Trafalgar Square on 8 September.
Xavier Gonzalez, IPC CEO, said: "The Seminar, as well as the workshop, this week are very important for all NPCs as, for many, this will be the last time they visit Britain ahead of next year's Games."
Paul Deighton, Chief Executive of LOCOG said: "We're delighted to welcome the NPCs from around the world to London and show them how much progress has been made in terms of planning for the Paralympic Games. With just under a year to go until the start of the Paralympic Games, we are committed to getting the Games right for athletes and this week's meetings will help NPCs around the world prepare for next year's Games."
The London 2012 Paralympic Games will take place from 29 August to 9 September next year. Up to 4,200 athletes from 150 countries will compete in 20 sports.
Tickets are going on sale on 9 September and so far more than one million people have registered their interest. To sign up for tickets, visit www.tickets.london2012.com.

Q: Change price variable based on a dropdown selection with php and jquery Problem: How can i get the selected price from a dropdown menu and use it instead of the original price of the current product stored in the database?
My approach: I've been able to update a label with the selected price, but I still need to override the current price of the product. I'm pretty clueless right now.
Additional information: The current price saved in the database is $price which need to be overridden by either $prijshalf or $prijsheel that are both also stored in the database.
The JQuery Code for updating the label:

This code block gets the value of the selected dropdown menu item and puts it in the label #costLabel
The PHP Code for rendering the products:
$product_list = "";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
         $id = $row["id"];
         $product_name = substr($row["product_name"],0,25);
         $price = $row["price"];
         $category = $row["category"];
         $subcategory = $row["subcategory"];
         $beschrijving = substr($row["details"],0,25);
         $afbeelding = '';
         $dropdown = $row["dropdown"];
         $dropdown2 = $row["dropdown2"];
         $prijshalf = $row["prijshalf"];
         $prijsheel = $row["prijsheel"];
         if($dropdown != "" || $dropdown2 != ""){
         $dropdownshow = "<select name='dropdown' id='dropdown' class='dropdown'>
                                      <option name='prijshalf' value='$prijshalf'>$dropdown</option>
                                      <option name='prijsheel' value='$prijsheel'>$dropdown2</option>
                         </select>";
             }
         else{
                $dropdownshow = "";
         }
         $product_list .= "

                           $afbeelding

                           Prijs:$price
                           $product_name

                            $dropdownshow

                           <form id='form1' name='form1' method='post' action='homepage.php#redirect'>
                           <input type='hidden' name='pid' id='pid' value='$id' />
                           <input type='submit' name='button' id='button' value='' />
                           </form>

                           ";

}

// Prints out the products to screen
echo $product_list;

A: I can't see how is your process of adding an item to the cart, so i can't tell you how. But you can try to move the dropdown into the <form> tag, later with php you get the value and if it is prijshalf or prijsheel do the math. The same with js, put the selected value of the dropdown in a hidden input within the <form> if you doesn't want the dropdown into the <form>, but i don't see why it shouldn't, send it to the server and do the math there. All is up to you.
Always use js just to show the info, always do the calculation and validation with php in the server for security reasons.
Happy coding

Lord Palmerston's Multicultural Human Zoo
Speaking from the vantage point of Lord Palmerston's British Empire circa 1850, Schiller Institute U.S. President Webster Tarpley chaired the panel on "Lord Palmerston's Multicultural Zoo" at the Schiller Institute's conference on Feb. 20. Tarpley served as tour guide through the centuries, and as the "choral" backdrop to the historical drama, introducing each of the seven speakers in turn and concluding the panel. What follows is Tarpley's introduction. Subtitles have been added.
I am now standing in the shadow of the Houses of Parliament in the part of London called Westminster. It is the year of grace 1850. Around me lies Victorian London, the London of Dickens and Thackeray, of John Stuart Mill and Thomas Carlyle. This capital city is now the center of the greatest colonial empire the world has ever known, shortly to embrace between one-fifth and one-fourth of the total population and land area of the Earth. Although in theory there are still empires ruled by the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Belgians, and the Danes, all of these, in this year of 1850, are but the satellites of the British Empire. Britain is the mistress of the seas, the empire upon which the sun never sets. It is the new Rome on the banks of the Thames.
The empress is Queen Victoria, who is largely occupied with Prince Albert in her business of breeding new litters of Saxe- Coburg- Gotha to take over the royal houses of Europe. A quarter- century from now Victoria will be made empress of India to reward her for so much breeding. But for all of Victoria's wealth and power, Britain is not really a monarchy; it is an oligarchy on the Venetian model, and the most powerful leader of the British oligarchy in these times, between 1830 and the end of the American Civil War, is Lord Palmerston.
Henry Temple, the third Viscount Palmerston. Palmerston is the man the others – the Russells, Disraelis, and Gladstones – simply cannot match. Palmerston was first a Tory, then a Whig, always a disciple of Jeremy Bentham, and for 35 years there is scarcely a cabinet without Palmerston as foreign secretary or prime minister. In London they call him Lord Cupid, a Regency buck always on the lookout for a new mistress, perfectly at home in a ménage à trois. On the continent they call him Lord Firebrand. The schoolboys of Vienna sing that if the devil has a son, that son is Lord Palmerston. "Pam" is an occultist who loves Satanism and seances. And here, between Big Ben and the Foreign Office, are the haunts of this nineteenth- century devil, Lord Palmerston, old Pam. (more...)

The one thing you won't find in Antibes are high rises or hotel chains. The emphasis is very much on independent & individual places to stay. The neighbouring resort of Juan les Pins has a greater selection of more traditional holiday accommodation.
The old town of Antibes has plenty of apartment rentals, mainly on the small side but full of charm and wonderfully located for soaking up the atmosphere of this charming French town. Juan les Pins offers alternative and better priced apartment rentals, but with either choice, you will pay a premium for places with outside space and a view of the sea.
Antibes is the place to find pretty B&B's, there is a lovely selection of guest houses in the old town. Further out in the hills above Antibes, are the towns of Biot, St Paul de Vence and Vence where further B&B's are located.
Villa rentals are available on the outskirts of Antibes and Juan les Pins, with a further selection around the towns of Biot and Mougins.
All around the coast of Cap Antibes is where you will find the best luxury hotels, of which Hotel du Cap Eden Roc is the most famous. But there are plenty more to choose from, particularly as you go from the Cap into Juan les Pins. If Antibes and Juan les Pins feel too busy for you, head towards St Paul de Vence, around a 30 minute drive away for more rural luxury accommodation.
Antibes is a little short on boutique hotels, so you may wish to try one of the surrounding villages where you will find a larger selection of unique small hotels to stay in. Biot is the closest town to Antibes, but St Paul de Vence and Mougins are also close by and have a wonderful choice of boutique hotels.
There are a couple of budget hotels in Antibes, offering simple and comfortable accommodation within walking distance of the shops, bars and restaurants in the old town. Juan les Pins has a greater selection of well priced accommodation and is possibly better for families.
There are plenty of campsites north of Antibes along the coastal road to Nice. They are centred around a collection of theme and water parks by the Biot train station and the Parc Vaugrenier, ideal for families. Book well in advance for the summer months of July and August!

Binary Park – Life On Lines / Extended Mixes (Digital EP – Infacted Recordings)
By Inferno Sound Diaries Nov 12,2018
Genre/Influences: Body-pop, EBM, IDM.
Background/Info: Earlier this year Torben Schmidt – Alfred Gregl and singer Huw Jones released the third Binary Park album. "Life On Lines" is a sophisticated and high-tech electro-work, which revealed the genius of this trio. And I've to say I now like the album even more than when it was just released. This EP features next to an intro six songs from the album all in an extended format.
Content: The main difference with the original songs is that they've been seriously extended. I can't say they've been reworked, but you will discover longer instrumental passages like accentuating the visionary sound treatments of this group. While the vocals of Huw Jones are sometimes reminding me of Dave Gahan, the music remains a fascinating fusion between Haujobb, Lassigue Bendthaus and Covenant.
+ + + : This extended version format can be seen as a way to empower the pleasure, at least for all of those who like Binary Park. I think the EP is a nice extra to the original album. I'm still impressed by the sound intelligence of this group, mixing elements of pop, EBM and pure IDM together. The vocals inject an extra sexy touch on top of the production.
– – – : The EP brings nothing really new and is therefore first of all a release for the fans. I would have liked to get an album with totally reworked songs by Binary Park themselves.
Conclusion: This EP is a cool, little extra for all of those who have liked the "Life On Lines"-album. Binary Park is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most intelligent electro-pop formations from the scene or just the most poppy-inspired IDM group.
Best songs: "Faith Never Let Me Down – Extended Mix", "Bad Connection – Extended Mix", "Your Own Great Nation – Extended Mix".
Rate: (8½).

[EDITORIALS]A decisive election
The presidential election will be held almost exactly one year from now on December 19, 2007. The presidential election, along with North Korea's nuclear program, are the two most important factors in deciding the future of our country. Presidential elections are always important, but this one is more so because we have experienced a collapse of leadership during the last four years and we have critical issues to solve in almost all major sectors including the economy, national security, foreign policy, education and the real estate market.
This presidential election could be called the single most decisive factor in our nation's future. Our choice could elevate our country to a higher level ― or send it crashing down. It will affect everything, including our economic prosperity, standing in foreign affairs. national security and democracy. We must make sure that our presidential election is a success and that means it must help us find our way back to social reconciliation and prosperity.
Our first and foremost task is to make sure that no irregularities and disorder cloud the election. Radical groups with particular agendas could, either on their own or with the help of outside forces, disrupt the election. The recent cases of alleged espionage by members of a secret political entity called the Ilsimhoe have shown us how deeply North Korea's agents have infiltrated anti-American and pro-labor protest rallies.
The candidates in the presidential election must also play their part by making quality campaign promises and behaving with integrity. They should compete on the basis of their abilities rather than by slandering their opponents. They should pursue the good of their party rather than their own personal interests. Too often we have witnessed betrayals among and between our politicians that have damaged our society.
The candidates might be the protagonists, but it is the voters who make the final choice. Voters should judge carefully which candidates are reliable and which campaign promises would benefit the country. Let's not be a crowd that applauds the wrong tunes.
The least President Roh Moo-hyun can do now is to make sure that the presidential election is conducted properly. He must not fall to the temptation of abusing his presidential position to create a power base for extending his influence after his term is over. Perhaps if this administration maintains political neutrality and upholds a fair presidential election, the public won't judge its failures so harshly after it's gone.

New Jersey Lawmakers Reintroduce Safe Playing Fields Act »
Massachusetts Attorney General Stops Deceptive Safety Claims about Bee-Toxic Pesticides, Beyond Pesticides Urges Other States to Follow
(Washington, D.C. October 26, 2016) With the Massachusetts Attorney General forcing Bayer CropScience to end its statewide advertising containing deceptive safety claims about bee-toxic pesticides, Beyond Pesticides yesterday asked the other 49 states to do the same. In a letter to State Attorneys General, Beyond Pesticides said, "With neonicotinoid (neonic) insecticides linked to the increase in pollinator decline, we are writing to urge you, on behalf of our members in your state, to stop misleading and fraudulent advertising of these pesticide products."
Beyond Pesticides continues, "We make this request following the settlement reached by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy with Bayer CropScience, announced today, that ends the company's deceptive advertising practices on their neonicotinoid-containing lawn and garden products."
Bayer agreed to change its advertising practices, so that the neonic-containing lawn and garden products are no longer misrepresented by false safety claims. This landmark settlement, filed under the state's Consumer Protection Act, is believed to be the first time any major pesticide company has agreed to a court order to address alleged false advertising regarding risks posed by neonic products to honey and native bees, and other pollinator species. The lawn and garden products subject to the settlement, which include Bayer Advanced ® All-in-One Rose and Flower Care, Bayer Advanced ® 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect and Feed II, and Bayer Advanced ® Season Long Grub Control Plus Turf Revitalizer, contain the active ingredients imidacloprid and/or clothianidin, both neonics.
In addition, according to the Massachusetts AG, Bayer is paying the Commonwealth $75,000 to settle these claims against the company. Attorney General Healy stated that, "This company was misleading consumers with deceptive claims, including falsely advertising its products as akin to giving "˜a daily vitamin' to plants, when, in fact, the pesticides are highly toxic to honey bees and other pollinators in the environment. This groundbreaking settlement will promote truth in advertising for consumer products that expose bees to harmful pesticides and will increase awareness about the risks these pesticides pose to bees and other pollinators essential for food production."
Neonics are a class of insecticides with a common mode of action that affects the central nervous system of insects. There is extensive evidence that neonic pesticides play a major role in recent pollinator declines. Neonics decrease learning, foraging and navigational ability of bees, as well as increase their vulnerability to pathogens and parasites as a result of the suppression of bee immune systems. In addition to toxicity to bees, neonics have been shown to also adversely affect birds, aquatic organisms, and biodiversity, while contaminating soil and waterways. They are persistent in the environment and, because they are systemic, translocate throughout the plant and are expressed in the pollen, nectar, and guttation droplets, causing indiscriminate poisoning of wildlife.
Given the shortcomings in federal oversight of misleading labeling claims and the use of neonicotinoids, Beyond Pesticides asked State Attorney General offices take action to mitigate these concerns. With growing concerns surrounding the detrimental role that neonics have on pollinator health, we applaud the actions taken by the Massachusetts Attorney General and urge other states to assess the pesticide labeling practices and take appropriate action. Farm, beekeeper, and environmental groups, including Beyond Pesticides, have urged EPA to follow the lead of the European Union and restrict neonics.

I entered the Astro Pi schools competition at the start of the year and was excited to receive an Astro Pi in April, just before I started my GCSE's at the Forest School in Horsham.
After my exams, I developed my idea for a game on the Astro Pi which used the built-in gyroscope to roll a virtual ball on the screen, trying to hit a target on the other side. It could also be linked to another Astro PI so that two players could compete against each other. I programmed it with over 300 lines of Python code and included explanatory comments.
I was very excited to win the prize for coding excellence, a category based on the quality of the code. The prize for this was to visit CGI in Leatherhead, where I learnt about their interesting work in the design of software for space applications. I was given a tour around the office, to view some of the projects in development.
After the tour, I spent some time with Andrew Henry, a CGI engineer. We worked together to create a program which compared conditions on the Astro Pi with conditions on Curiosity, the Mars rover. Not only did I learn a lot, but the project was fascinating.
Finally, I had lunch with graduates who had recently joined CGI, who were good fun. I had a great time discussing how they got to CGI and about their jobs.
Charlie's game was a fantastic winner of CGI's Astro Pi coding excellence prize. It was fun to play, worked first time and coded to an excellent standard. High quality code is critical for the secure and safety-related space applications that we create and we were delighted to show Charlie the software we have developed for a wide range of space programmes in satellite navigation, earth observation, satellite comms and satellite control systems. Developing space software is a rapidly growing industry and I hope many students have been inspired by Charlie's winning entry and will look at the exciting career opportunities available in space.
Overall, I really enjoyed the day and learnt a lot too. I'm really glad the Astro Pi competition was created, and would like to wish our UK Astronaut, Tim Peake good luck for his launch in December!


Look at the people who are like minded such as yourself and give valuable information they are looking for to help them succeed. The more your name is recognizable the better you will have leverage since everyone knows someone in some form or another. I enjoy seeing others succeed since I can see myself as the other person. Help others to build the foundation of your brand and in the long term you will grow.

Longtime 'Fighter' Lands Top Spot In Powerful Nurses Union
Published On - May 9, 2018
Content Contributor In the News
Bonnie Castillo's first experience with organized labor dates to the mid-1960s, when she was just 5. Her father was a railroad worker in Sacramento, Calif., and an active union member.
More than once, she and her mom drove him to a picket line, where workers demanded better pay and benefits.
"We'd pick him up within a matter of hours because they'd win," Castillo, 57, recalled with a slight smile. "That was quite a time."
Times have changed, but Castillo remains committed to organized labor. In March, she became the new executive director of one of the state's strongest unions: the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United, which has about 100,000 members in the state.
The organization has flooded the state Capitol in a sea of red — the union's official color — in the past year to demonstrate its support for a bill that would create a government-run, single-payer health care system in California. The bill stalled in the legislature last year because of its exorbitant price tag, estimated at $400 billion annually, but Castillo says the fight is not over. "I think it can happen in our lifetime," she said.
Castillo's predecessor, RoseAnn DeMoro, who served as executive director of the union for 32 years, was considered a fearless leader by some, unnecessarily aggressive by others.
Last year, after Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon pulled the single-payer bill, DeMoro tweeted a picture of the iconic California grizzly bear being stabbed in the back with a knife emblazoned with Rendon's name. The legislator — a Democrat — said he was besieged by death threats after that.
Most observers don't expect this confrontational approach to change dramatically under Castillo; DeMoro began grooming her for the transfer of leadership several years ago. Democratic strategist Steve Maviglio, a critic of the union, told a Politico reporter in March that Castillo is DeMoro's "Mini-Me." They're cut from the "same radical cloth," he said.
Castillo replied: "I wear that cloth proudly."
Republican political analyst Kevin Eckery said that it's fair to question the nurses' "my-way-or-the-highway" approach to single-payer but that he believes the union's tactics receive unfair scrutiny, in part because the majority of its members are female.
"I think some of the criticism that they received is really almost mansplaining," he said. "Yeah, they're aggressive. So?"
The union has endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom, who supports single-payer.
In addition to single-payer, Castillo wants additional workplace violence protections for nurses across the country, and she opposes a federal lawsuit that would allow public-sector workers to opt out of paying union dues, even if they're covered by union contracts.
Unlike DeMoro, Castillo is a registered nurse. She worked as a critical care nurse in Sacramento for about 14 years until she left in 1998 to work for the union.
Castillo is also the first Latina to hold the title of executive director in the 115-year history of the organization. And though she echoes DeMoro in some ways, Castillo commands a crowd with an assertiveness that's all her own.
"She might not be as loud about it, but she is definitely a fighter," said Deborah Burger, co-president of the union, and a member of the board that appointed Castillo to her new gig.
California Healthline recently sat down with Castillo in her Oakland office to discuss her new role.

Q: We often hear that nurses go into the field to help others. You first started volunteering with the union in 1996, when you were a nurse at the now-defunct American River Hospital in Sacramento. What ultimately drove you to leave nursing and work for the union full time?
It was pretty clear to me within a couple of years of being a young registered nurse that the needs of myself and my co-workers weren't being adequately addressed through dealing with management directly. We needed more staffing, more resources, but [hospital administrators] were constantly watching the bottom line. When we organized and won a strong contract, we realized this would actually affect our ability to give better care.
This process of bringing nurses together, predominantly women, strong women, to work collectively was something that was so invigorating and exciting that I felt the need to continue to do this. It was a big decision because I also loved my patients, but I felt … like I could play a big role in making sure that every registered nurse had a voice on the job.
Q: Last year, the legislature pulled SB 562, the single-payer bill that the union had sponsored. Instead of picking it up again this year, Democratic lawmakers are backing a gradual approach to universal coverage. Are you giving up on single-payer?
We understand that these legislators are not going to do this on their own. It's going to take a movement of their constituents, nurses and other health care professionals. Legislators are going to need an intense amount of pressure, and that's what we're doing: We're knocking on every door, we're meeting and organizing. Our approach and our model of organizing is what has allowed us to be successful. This is a big one, there's no doubt about it.
Q: Some people have called the union's approach "aggressive." What's your response to that?
I feel like they do that to women in general. If women are militant or asserting themselves strongly, they'll come up with these names that are somewhat derogatory or demeaning. That's typical bullying behavior. Nurses … know how to deal with bullies. You really can't pay much attention to that.
Q: Many of these comments came after your predecessor tweeted a picture of a California grizzly bear being stabbed in the back with a knife emblazoned with the name of Assembly Speaker Rendon. What was the deal with that?
The bear with the knife was symbolic. It was symbolic of an attack on our democracy. Nurses don't hurt people, they help people. I love art … and I love the use of art symbolically. I know there are a lot of folks who get threatened by different forms of art, and when I looked at [those comments] I thought … 'Are you trying to insinuate that knife was meant for someone?' It was like, c'mon.
Q: Besides single-payer, you're focusing on Janus v. AFSCME, the lawsuit that addresses whether non-union members should have to pay dues. Can you explain why you're concerned?
Right now, what's happening at the federal level is they are threatening our right to exist.
I need to lead this fight against this massive assault. [In this case], you would no longer be able to … collect dues [from non-members]. Obviously, in order to effectively advocate and legislate, everybody pays their fair share. What Janus would do is make that essentially illegal.
That's probably our biggest threat right now.

The year begins with a non residential weekend in January to integrate all the work done in the first year and our four meetings for the Four Seeds. We will meet in January in the depths of winter to also set strong intention going forward into the year of training in the healing techniques of the shaman. We will undergo ceremony again together, cleansing the spirit, and renewing our connections for the work going forward. There will also be the opportunity to share thein circle the challenges and opportunities brought forth by the work so far.
By 'seeing' into the invisible threads that make up our reality, shamans have been able to understand that on a fundamental level we are made up of moving energy, or spirit. Through the process of living our 'energy bodies' or spirits can become loading up with 'spiritual intrusions'- energy that is having a damaging effect on our well-being. It is the shaman's responsibility to 'see' then treat these spiritual intrusions by extracting them, enabling the person to return to their natural state of soul health.
In this part of the training, participants will learn the entire process of spirit extraction, from how intrusions occur to the effective treatment of them. You will learn about power loss and power retrieval- whereby the shaman protects their client from future intrusions occurring. You will learn how to peel back the layers of energy and spirit to see deep into a person's soul, perceiving identifying and removing blockages. You will learn procedures of identifying a person's personal energy with that of ancestral inheritance or interference from others and to become power- full, thus protected when undertaking this work.
We will also explore deeply the nature and 'spirit' of illness. How it can come into a persons life and what keeps it in their life. How the shaman must meet and understand the energy of sickness and disease before they are able to treat it. In order to be able to remove poison, you must know what makes up the poison and how it infects a person on a soul level. This is much more than simply learning the techniques of healing, it is about truly mastering and experiencing the nature of what causes sickness and what creates health.
And, most importantly you will learn to listen and yield, to become the 'hollow bone' for spirit to work through you- allowing the magical process of healing to occur. Without learning effectively the art of allowing yourself to be embodied and led by spirit, there is no healing. There will also be opportunity to identify and release your own intrusions within a powerful, cleansing ceremony.
To become a Psychopomp is the ancient art of 'moving on' trapped spirits of the dead; those that cling out of shock, fear, confusion, or simply being unable to let go through emotional attachment, to the middle world (earth plane). This causes problems not only for trapped souls but also for those that were close to them, and the general spiritual health of our communities.
The shaman has to learn about and experience the terriotory and landscape beyond death- this is their hunting ground and what many of the initations and much of the training is about. In doing so shaman are then able to assist others when they need it the most, when they have left their body and need guidance on the next stage of their journey.
Another, sometime under looked element of psychopomp work is the healing and releasing of ancestral ghosts. These ghosts, sometimes stretching generations back, can often be 'alive' in a person's energy body. This causes the repeating of ancestral patterns and re-living of ancestral traumas that then create crisis and trauma in a persons life, preventing them from truly experincing and fufilling the beauty of their own soul. This powerful healing technique can heal many generations of ancestors in one go and literally change the life of the person who has been carrying these ghosts.
This isn't glamorous work, but it's immensely important at this time. Having lost understanding of the art of dying and the many rituals and ceremonies that used to surround this, ultimate of initiations, there is a greater need than ever for the clearing and releasing of trapped souls; to restore harmony and balance to the spirit world and our own physical world that it feeds.
In this second shamanic healing part of the course we will explore these techniques in a practical, experiential way, learning to be of assistance and to heal to both the dead and the living, whilst also gaining greater understanding of our own relationship with death and the ancestral ghosts that we may be carrying.
When we suffer trauma- parts of our soul can leap out of our bodies. It is a self-preservation mechanism, similar to the 'fight or flight' mechanism wired into us, but on a soul level. When the fleeing soul part fails to return safely and gets trapped in the invisible world, this can leave huge holes in our essential being- paving the way for distraction, disturbance, ill health and the repeated re-experiencing of trauma.
In the modern world, with its near everyday occurrences of soul trauma, soul loss has become something of an epidemic.
In this training all facets of soul loss- how and why it could occur, from the dramatic to the subtle, its symptoms- chronic and acute, will be taught. We will explore the wider implications that soul loss has on our communities and environment and the survival and well being of our species. This will also involve study of the nature of our souls and the the 'three souls' that make up our principal being.
Participants will learn all aspects of soul retrieval, this magical, delicate art that will change the course of people's lives. You will learn of the landscape where soul parts might flee to and the art of tracking in the invisible world of spirit. You will learn about soul theft and the unravelling of its associated problems. Mask work will also be undertaken in ceremony in order to track participants owns potential for soul loss through limiting behavioural patterns and how this can be altered and healed.
Through this whole process there will be a deepening of your relationship with your spiritual mentors, embracing the trust needed to undertake this sacred healing work. We will then explore the nature of shamanic healing as that of ceremony, alongside any techniques that can be learnt.
One of the most important and often overlooked aspect of any healing is that of integration. This is the hard part, when all the magical, energetic work has been carried out and then must be integrated into a persons life. Until this happens the healing can remain ineffective or be rejected and is often the reason why spiritual healing can fail. This is also true of the shaman. In some ways it is easy to open up the doors to the spirit world. What takes a lot of hard work is keeping those doors open.
Inspired by the close work we have done with the Wixarika who spend at least three months of the year on pilgrimage, paying their offerings so that the doors to the spirit world remain open, we will undertake a mini pilgrimage on the final four days across Britain. On the Saturday night we will undertake a final major ceremony in a sacred site in one of the cardinal directions. This will then create a living medicine wheel on the landscape of this land that can be returned to in the future with more offerings and for learning.
We will learn about earth healing and there will be opportunity to work with the plant spirits of this land. There wil also be the encouragment to make a strong commitment to the spirits of the landscape, in order to take the work forward once the course has finished. It is the spirits that enable us to do this work, without them, it is nothing. In this final four days initiation, the work will be handed fully over to them, to assist in the integration of the experience of two years for each individual.

Jaguar XKR-S heading to Geneva too
Jaguar is set to get extra attention at the Geneva Motor Show next week with their most powerful XK model yet, the XKR-S.
Its 5.0 litre supercharged V8 is good for 542 hp (550PS) and 501 lb ft (680 nm) of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.2 sec, 0-100 mph in 8.6 sec, and reach a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). Jaguar claims that the XKR-S produces less CO2 than any other car in its class, with a quoted output of less than 300 g/km.
The XKR-S gets a revised suspension (with adaptive dampers) over the normal XKR for better handling, and receives extra aerodynamic parts such as a rear wing and front spoiler.
Jaguar is saving pricing information for its unveil at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
Aston Martin Virage revealed
The Aston Martin Virage, the latest addition to the Aston Martin family, set to take its place between the DB9 and DBS.
The Virage comes with a naturally aspirated 6.0 litre V12 engine producing 490 hp and 420 lb ft of torque. That power is sent through a carbon fibre propshaft to a rear-mounted transaxle transmission, a six speed automatic named Touchtronic II. This sort of configuration helps the Virage get a 50:50 weight distribution front to rear.
Accelaration from a stand still to 62 mph takes 4.6 sec while top speed is a claimed 186 mph (299 km/h). The Virage comes with 20 inch wheels as standard wrapped around in Pirelli P Zero tyres.
The Virage gets a newly developed Adaptive Damping System (ADS) with comfort and sports settings to help strike that balance between comfort and handling. It will also be equipped with Carbon Ceramic brake discs as standard. Pressing the "Sport" button on the console will also sharpen throttle response, hold on to revs longer when accelerating - not changing gears automatically when you hit the limiter (while in manual mode), and also gives quicker gear changes.
Maserati GranCabrio Sport to debut in Geneva.
Maserati is set to give its GranCabrio a touch of extra performance with this, the GranCabrio Sport.
The GranCabrio Sport will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on 1 March in just over a week's time, and will get the same engine found in the GranTurismo MC Stradale, a 4.7 litre naturally aspirated V8 producing 450 hp and 510 nm of torque (about 376 lb ft). Top speed is quoted at 285 km/h (178 mph) while fuel consumption is said to have gone down by 6 per cent.
The engine is connected to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission though rather than the sequential manual found in the MC Stradale. However, Maserati claims the automatic transmission still gives quick gearchanges thanks to using the same superfast software found in the Quattroporte Sport GTS' gearbox.
Maserati has done work to improve handling as well, the Skyhook adaptive suspension has been revised, while the brake system consists of dual-cast discs that are grooved and drilled.
The GranCabrio Sport will go on sale in the summer.
Rolls Royce 102EX heading to Geneva - the electric Phantom.
Rolls Royce is set to take on the world of electric vehicles with the 102EX.
The 102EX is a fully electric experimental vehicle that uses the Phantom as a platform, and is set to be unveiled to the world's press at the Geneva Motor Show in just over a week's time.
According to Rolls Royce officials, the 102EX is the first fully electric vehicle that caters to the "ultra-luxury segment" and a first step in exploring alternative technologies for future Rolls Royce models.
While Rolls Royce has no plans to make a production version just yet, it will take feedback from the public, media and existing customers as it takes the car on a world tour.
Only teaser images of the 102EX are available, while technical specs are yet to be released. We should get more info on the 102EX as the unveil approaches.
Optional sports exhaust now available for BMW M3
BMW Performance is now offering a sports exhaust for its M3 models. Thanks to the use of Inconel and reducing the exhaust's wall thickness, the system is not only stronger but weighs 20lbs (around 9kg) less than the stock system, a 40 per cent reduction in weight. The system does give the 4.0-litre V8 a more aggressive bark, but you will have to cough up $4,374 for it. Check out the video below.
Next M5 to have automatic gearbox only?
According to a report on motortrend.com, it seems that the next BMW M5 is set to have an automatic transmission, rather than a re-worked version of the double-clutch transmission (M-DCT) found in the M3.
The explanation behind this being that the M-DCT unit can't handle the amount of torque being produced from the M5's twin-turbo V8 engine. A major revision to the gearbox would have been required, bigger actuators would have been needed to beef it up, but at the expense of shifting times (and BMW's budget).
In a perfect world BMW would use a proper manual gearbox instead, putting driver involvement first - like they used to. But if BMW end up using an automatic gearbox, it will no doubt irk the M enthusiasts. Let's hope it is nothing but a cruel rumour.

Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package set for Geneva.
Lexus is set to unveil to the public the LFA Nurburgring Package at this year's Geneva motor show.
The Nurburgring Package gives the LFA a race car-like profile thanks to the addition of a rear spoiler, front splitters, and new wheels. Power from the high-revving 4.8 litre V10 has been increased to 562 hp, up by 10 hp, while work has been done to the six-speed sequential gearbox for quicker shift times.
Total production of the LFA is limited to just 500 examples, with only 50 of them set aside for the Nurburgring Package.

G-quadruplex secondary structures are four-stranded globular nucleic acidity structures form in
G-quadruplex secondary structures are four-stranded globular nucleic acidity structures form in the precise DNA and RNA G-rich sequences with natural significance such as for example individual telomeres oncogene-promoter regions replication initiation sites and 5′ and 3′-untranslated (UTR) regions. capping in cancers cells [33-35]. Individual telomeric DNA G-quadruplexes have already been discovered to become polymorphic Minoxidil within their buildings [36] highly. A 22-mer telomeric DNA was discovered to create a basket-type framework in Na+ alternative [37] (Amount 2(A-a)) and a parallel framework in the crystalline type in the current presence of K+ [34] Minoxidil (Amount 2(A-b)). Recently individual telomeric DNA was proven to form two equilibrating hybrid-form G-quadruplexes in K+ alternative [38-42] (Amount 2(B)). While both K+ buildings adopt hybrid foldable (i.e. with three parallel strands and one antiparallel strand linked by two lateral loops and one strand-reversal loop Amount 2(B-a)) the purchases from the loops will vary and then the molecular buildings are distinct with original capping and loop conformations (Amount 2(B-b)). Regardless of the low energy difference between your two equilibrating cross types buildings interconversion between your two is apparently kinetically slow suggesting the presence of a high-energy intermediate [40]. Number 2 (A) Folding topologies of the basket-type Na+-remedy (a) and parallel-stranded K+-crystal (b) intramolecular G-quadruplexes created by human being telomeric sequence wtTel22. Red package = anti guanine Magenta package = guanine; (B) the folding topologies (a) … Based on our NMR structural studies we proposed a strand-reorientation model having a partially unfolded triplex- type and two-tetrad intermediates [39 43 (Number 2(C)). More recently several studies have offered insights and experimental evidence into the intermediate methods of G-quadruplex folding including the G-hairpin [44] and the G-triplex [45]. With the 5′ and 3′ ends positioned on opposite sides of the G-quadruplex the cross constructions can effectively form packed multimers in the telomere end [39 40 a conformation that has been confirmed by computer modeling study [46] (Number 2(D)). All human being telomeric G-quadruplexes appear to have small energy differences relative to each other [40 46 The structure polymorphism appears to be an intrinsic house of the human being telomeric DNA sequence particularly the TTA loop sequence [36]. As the human being telomeric DNA sequence contains the same tandem repeats the highly conserved telomeric sequence in higher eukaryotes may be naturally selected for its potential to form multiple G-quadruplexes so that different constructions may be specifically identified by different proteins to control biology. This acknowledgement may present a potential chance for small molecule focusing on. 5 Promoter G-quadruplexes The potential for G-quadruplex formation in promoter areas is largely concentrated in genes associated with cell growth and proliferation [7]. Computational analyses [47- 51] showed the clustering of G-quadruplex-forming sequences in close proximity (within 1 kb) to the transcriptional start site. These oncogene promoters are typically TATA-less with G-rich areas in their proximal promoters such as c-MYC [10 52 VEGF (vascular endothelial growth element) [53] BCL-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) [54 55 and PDGF-R-β [56] as well as HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible element 1α) [57] Minoxidil KRAS [58] c-KIT [59 60 and RET [61]. While telomeric G-quadruplexes form in the single-stranded 3′-overhang of telomeres promoter G-quadruplexes are created in regions of double-stranded DNA. Using the c-MYC gene promoter studies have shown that active transcription induces bad superhelicity behind the transcriptional machinery [62-64]. This bad superhelicity leads towards the intermediate single-stranded DNA that may spontaneously fold in to the even more stable G-quadruplex buildings [65]. Unlike telomeric DNA the promoter G-quadruplex- developing sequences RGS19 are a lot more diverse and frequently contain much more than four tracts of guanine [7 8 17 Therefore a given series can develop multiple G-quadruplexes through making use of varying combos of G-tracts or different loop isomers through making use of varying guanines using one G-tract. Three-tetrad G-quadruplexes are most common. A significant feature in these promoter sequences may be the presence from the G3NG3 Minoxidil theme which readily plays a part in formation of the robust parallel-stranded framework theme with a.

There is currently a Cross Site Scripting issue with SharePoint 3.0 and 2007 which could allow someone to maliciously run an arbitrary script that could allow elevation of privilege in the SharePoint site. There is currently no hotfix out for this issues however you can mitigate this issue by enabling the XSS Filter in Internet Explorer 8. Unfortunately this is not turned on by default for the Intranet Zone which is how the majority of SharePoint sites are accessed. So if you are an IT administrator and you want to protect against this issue before Microsoft releases a hotfix then below are the instruction showing how to enable this via Group Policy.
Step 1. Edit the Group Policy object that applies to all the user accounts you want to migrate this issue.
Note: If you want complete coverage of all users in your organisation then make this change the the default domain policy or another policy link to the top of the domain.
Step 2. Navigate to User Configuration > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page > Intranet Zone and enabled the "Turn on Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Filter" then ensure you set the drop down menu to "Enabled" then press OK.
To confirm the setting is applied you should now see that the "Enable XSS filter" option is configured to "Enabled" and it is greyed out as the setting has now been configured by group policy.
Unfortunately this setting cannot be enabled via Group Policy Preferences as you can see if does not have the XSS filter option.

Astronomers Find Bizarre 'Lawn Sprinkler' Asteroid : The Two-Way P/2013 P5, with six comet-like jets, was first spotted using the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii, and then seen in more detail by the Hubble Space Telescope.
These NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images reveal a never-before-seen set of six comet-like tails radiating from a body in the asteroid belt designated P/2013 P5.
Astronomers using both ground- and space-based telescopes have discovered a new kind of asteroid that sports not one, but six comet-like tails, and has been described as looking something like a rotating lawn sprinkler.
P/2013 P5 was first spotted with the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope at the top of Haleakala volcano in Maui, Hawaii, in August and then followed up with more detailed observations using the Hubble Space Telescope.
The object is located in the Asteroid Belt, a region of the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, where space rocks reside in abundance. Most of them are pretty ordinary, but with P/2013 P5, "We were literally dumbfounded when we saw it," says lead investigator David Jewitt of the University of California, Los Angeles.
"Even more amazing, tail structures change dramatically in just 13 days as it belches out dust," Jewitt says. "That also caught us by surprise. It's hard to believe we're looking at an asteroid."
According to the study abstract in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Jewitt and his fellow authors believe the object "appears inconsistent with an impact origin" but may instead be "losing mass through a rotational instability."
" 'In astronomy, where you find one, you eventually find a whole bunch more,' Jewitt said in a statement. 'This is just an amazing object to us, and almost certainly the first of many more to come.' "
