They offer a wide range of advice services and also run a number of community events and projects.
PATH (Plymouth Access to Housing) Ltd
PATH (Plymouth Access to Housing) works to support people who are vulnerable to homelessness in securing and sustaining appropriate accommodation. Established in 1995, the independent charity provides a range of services, primarily in Plymouth. Their key areas of focus are support for rough sleepers, provision of housing advice and support, along with a private rented access service. PATH's invaluable work helps people on low incomes, refugees, ex-offenders and others to find safe and secure places to live. A Triodos Bank loan supported PATH in buying two of their own properties, enabling them to become more independent and to provide much needed temporary accommodation for their clients.
Westminster Housing Co-op
Westminster Housing Co-op, which operates across the whole of the greater London area, has been in existence for 30 years: borrowing properties from registered social housing associations, councils, developers and individuals, bringing those properties up to standard and then renting them out at as cheaply as possible. WHC house a mixture of key workers, people who have been street homeless, and people who are unable to afford market rents. The co-op operated mostly as a stop gap for people to find permanent accommodation for themselves, but some tenant members have been housed by the group in a number of properties over a period of 30 years. WHC is self-financing through rents and doesn't receive any grants, so unfortunately cannot afford London house prices. However, they decided to borrow money from Triodos to buy a house on the south coast. They are converting this into 6 self-contained units in order to house some of the people who have been with them long term in permanent accommodation
Coventry Peace House Housing Co-operative
Coventry Peace Housing Co-operative is a housing co-operative and a peace and environmental centre.

Q: Textbook Example Solving Heat Conduction PDE Using Separation of Variables My textbook demonstrates solving the heat conduction example
$$\dfrac{\partial{\phi}}{\partial{t}} = \kappa \dfrac{\partial^2{\phi}}{\partial{x^2}}, \ x \in [0, L]$$
$$\phi(x, 0) = f(x) \ \ \ \text{at time} \ \ t = 0$$
$$\phi(0, t) = \phi(L, t) = 0 \ \ \text{for all time.}$$
It proceeds by using separation of variables, as follows (paraphrased in my own words for the sake of conciseness, and with some minor additions for the sake of completeness):
We let
$$\phi(x, t) = T(t)X(x)$$
Therefore, the heat conduction equation becomes
$$T'X = \kappa T X''$$
Dividing by $XT$, we obtain
$$\dfrac{T'}{T} = \kappa \dfrac{X''}{X}$$
The left-hand side is a function of $t$ only, and the right-hand side is a function of $x$ only. As $t$ and $x$ are independent variables, these must be equal to the same constant. As the equation describes heat conduction, we should look for solutions that will decay as time progresses. This means that $T$ is likely to decrease with time, which in turn leads us to designate the separation constant as negative:
$$\dfrac{T'}{T} = - \alpha^2$$
Using separation of variables (the ODE kind), we get
$$T(t) = T_0 e^{-\alpha^2 t}, t \ge 0$$
For the ODE in terms of $x$, we get
$$\dfrac{X''}{X} = -\dfrac{\alpha^2}{\kappa}$$
This has characteristic polynomial
$$\kappa m^2 + \alpha^2 = 0$$
Therefore, we get
$$X(x) = a' \cos\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right) + b' \sin\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right)$$
Therefore, our solution is
$$\phi(x, t) = T(t)X(x) = e^{-\alpha^2 t} \left( a \cos\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right) + b \sin\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right) \right)$$
At time $t = 0$, $\phi(x, 0) = f(x)$, which is some prescribed function of $x$ (the initial temperature distribution along a bar $x \in [0, L]$ perhaps), then we would seem to require that
$$f(x) = a \cos\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right) + b \sin\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right)$$
which in general is not possible.

My questions are as follows:

*

*Why are the constants changed from $a'$ and $b'$ to $a$ and $b$? What happened there?

*Why is $f(x) = a \cos\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right) + b \sin\left( \dfrac{\alpha x}{\sqrt{\kappa}} \right)$ not possible?

I would greatly appreciate it if people could please take the time to clarify this.

A: *

*Let $a = T_0 ', b = T_0 b'$.

*If the solution of $\phi(x,t)$ holds for $t \geqslant 0$, then $\phi (x,0)=f(x)$ should be such a trigonometric function. But generally the given $f(x)$ [as a condition to determine $\phi(x,t)$] is not this trig function at all [Maybe $f(x) =x$ or something else].

A: The first question was answered by @xbh.
For the second question, you did not finish the problem. $\phi(0,t)=0$ means that $a=0$. We don't want $b$ to be identically zero, so $\phi(L,t)=0$ means that $\frac{\alpha L}{\sqrt \kappa}=n\pi$, where $n\in\mathbb Z^*$. What this means is that your solution can be written as a Fourier series. You get $$\phi_n(x,t)=b_ne^{-tn^2\pi^2\kappa/L^2}\sin\frac{n\pi\sqrt\kappa x}{L}$$
By applying superposition, if $\phi_i$ and $\phi_j$ are solutions, then $\phi_i+\phi_j$ is also a solution of your equation. Therefore $$\phi(x,t)=\sum_n\phi_n(x,t)$$

Hipgnosis Song Management has acquired Kenny Chesney's music catalog for an undisclosed amount.
According to a press release, the sale includes 80% of Chesney's recorded music royalties and covers the superstar's discography from his critically acclaimed 1994 debut In My Wildest Dreams through 2017's Live in No Shoes Nation. His catalog includes 22 albums, 15 of which are certified Platinum, including five multi-Platinum certifications, and 20 of which are certified Gold. His catalog includes nine No. 1 all-genre Billboard 200 albums, 17 No. 1 Billboard Country Albums and 18 Top 10 Billboard Country albums.
"Kenny Chesney is one of the truly great American artists. He has been bringing joy to music fans all over the world for almost 30 years," Merck Mercuriadis, founder of Hipgnosis Song Management share in a statement. "His incredible success of more than 30 million records sold including nine No. 1 albums on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart and 17 No. 1 albums on Billboard's Country chart tells you everything you need to know. Add in his unparalleled success as a touring artist and the juggernaut that is No Shoes Radio, and you realize Kenny is genuinely a phenomenon. It's a pleasure and a privilege to welcome Kenny and Clint to the Hipgnosis Songs family, and we are delighted to launch our new Blackstone-backed fund with this landmark acquisition."

"To know that this music has a home that views the work as a collective body, something that builds on itself and captures the heart of No Shoes Nation, was important to me," Chesney said. "How these songs live going forward is critical, and I believe Merck has the best interests of not just the recordings but the people who love them as his driving interest. For the people who love these songs and albums, this is a scenario that allows the music to grow and reflect who those of us living inside these songs truly are."
"Kenny has put his life into amassing the collected body of work contained here, and it's something we have all taken very seriously throughout his unprecedented career," Clint Higham, Chesney's longtime manager, said. "There is no deal that is more important than protecting the legacy of these songs. Working with Merck and his team to secure this deal, we found people who are as serious about the recordings as we are, and that suggests there is an incredible future for Kenny's recorded music through the Hipgnosis team."
This marks the first acquisition made by Hipgnosis Song Management since its recently announced partnership with Blackstone to acquire music rights and manage catalogs.

We are offering a series of Artist bundles at a fantastic price + shipping. £15 for 3x12" vinyl plus all WAVs for FREE on top - just add shipping in your cart!
Akkord are Mancunian producers Ancestral Voices and Synkro "No one comes close to matching the strength of Akkord's razor-edged beats" is just one way of describing their sound. Loved by so many for their raster-noton precision electronic production here we have three fantastic slabs of wax all on 180 gram vinyl, debossed jacket outer cover with postcard insert.
Akkord whey up on a brooding, bruising Akkord 12". They've eased off on the trickier elements in favour of focussing on sculpted, visceral sound designs done to powerful effect. The kerb-crawling half-tempo house pace and drizzly, sleazy atmosphere of 'Gravure' gives a brilliant opening for the collapsed 'ardcore structures of 'Continuum', splicing classic breaks and quasi-speed bass into a black void peopled by acephalic mentasms and iciest drones. By turns, 'Typeface' is more kinetic, distilling elements of techno, garage and D&B into a twitchy, rugged template with speaker-worrying subs, and 'Greyscale' returns to a stoic, de-glazed sound, seemingly trudging thru the rain in some red light district or semi-industrial zone.
Akkord's 'HTH020' 12" undergoes exceptional transformations at the hands of The Haxan Cloak and Vatican Shadow. It's arguably a pinnacle of the label's sustained attack since emerging in 2013, due in large part to The Haxan Cloak's shocking render of 'HTH020'. In the course of nearly eleven minutes, the original is hard-panned for gold, sweeping from stereo-strafing concrète dynamics into a staggering display of head-compressing delays and chest-bursting post-rock/metal dynamics over a series of concatenated peaks and noisy harmonic eruptions with an elastic sense of meter. For anyone bold enough to drop it in a club, expect folk to fall over or climb the stacks by its final climax. Conversely, Vatican Shadow's recombination and distillation of 'Typeface / Greyscale' is all about stealth and subtlety, positioned as a 5am ambient techno workout for the aerobic mystics. Big tip!
This 12" sees the welcome vinyl edition of remixes of Akkord's "Gravure/Continuum" from Fis and Regis. With the Mancunian duo possessing such a clinical take on rhythmic construction; it's always interesting to see how artists commissioned to remix Akkord choose to approach the task. Sometime Tri Angle artist Fis is on impeccable form twisting the track into paganistic string-laden ambience on his self-styled 'Hayfield To New Mills' version which brings to mind "Hashshashin Chant" era Demdike Stare. Downwards boss Regis goes for gravelly broken techno on his 'Whip Hand' mix though he channels similar levels of spectral foreboding to Fis in the underlying human groans set deep in the mix.

J.K. Rowling's revelation sends 'Cuckoo's Calling' to No. 1
Author J.K. Rowling poses for a portrait while publicizing her adult fiction book "The Casual Vacancy" at Lincoln Center in New York October 16, 2012. REUTERS/Carlo Allegri
By TheWrap.com
PUBLISHED: July 15, 2013 at 2:52 a.m. | UPDATED: August 5, 2016 at 3:53 p.m.
July 15 (TheWrap.com) – Author J.K. Rowling made a startling revelation Sunday. Turns out she's behind "The Cuckoo's Calling," a first novel supposedly written by Robert Galbraith.
In reality, "Robert Galbraith" is a pseudonym for the "Harry Potter" creator.
"I hoped to keep this secret a little longer because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience," she said in a statement released by her publicist on Sunday. "It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation, and pure pleasure to get feedback from publishers and readers under a different name."
"The Cuckoo's Calling," about a war veteran turned detective who is called in to investigate a model's mysterious death, was published to rave reviews in April by Little, Brown & Co. unit Sphere.
London's Sunday Times uncovered the deception and said it began checking when it wondered how "a first-time author with a background in the army and the civilian security industry could write such an assured debut novel." The paper said it noted that Rowling and Galbraith shared the same agent and editor, and that Little, Brown published Rowling's novel for adults, "The Casual Vacancy."
The news that Rowling was in fact the author helped the novel climb to the top of Amazon's best-selling list Sunday.
In its bio of Galbraith on its web site, the publisher said that "After several years with the Royal Military Police, Robert Galbraith was attached to the SIB (Special Investigative Branch), the plain-clothes branch of the RMP. He left the military in 2003 and has been working since then in the civilian security industry. The idea for Cormoran Strike grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends who returned to the civilian world.
Perhaps the last line should have been a tipoff:
"'Robert Galbraith' is a pseudonym."

Q: Problem in locking a document using xdmp:lock-acquire() function We have tried all the options for the lock method, the document is locked, but still, another user can able to update the document even though the lock is not yet released.
xdmp:lock-acquire("/inventory/hassan", "exclusive", "0", "This lock is acquiuired by admin user", 60)

We have another user called "shiv" with the "admin" role assigned to it, still, "shiv" user can execute the below function and modify the document even though the lock is not yet released.
xdmp:node-replace(doc("/inventory/hassan")//location, <location>ABC</location>)

We are using MarkLogic 10.0-.2.1
Please help me to find out what is wrong going on here.

A: This lock is not a transaction lock. As the docs say:
Note that the lock described here is a relatively heavy persistent document lock for file system emulation through WebDAV, not a relatively light transaction lock for database consistency.
https://docs.marklogic.com/xdmp:lock-acquire

A: It seems that if you are using a user with admin it is bypassing the lock.
When I lock a document with one user, and then attempt to modify it with a different unprivileged, user I get the following:
[1.0-ml] XDMP-LOCKED: xdmp:node-replace(fn:doc("/test.xml")/doc/location, <location>ABC</location>) -- Document or Directory is locked

However, after giving that user the admin role, it executes successfully and updates the document.

Tester-Powered: How Google Will Support Stadia with Beta
You know that classic movie scene where a new kid walks into a classroom and everyone turns to stare? That kid is Google, and the classroom is the gaming industry. Less than a year after Google invited testers to play Assassin's Creed: Odyssey on their Chrome browsers, Stadia – its console-free game streaming platform – is here. And it's not going to sit in the back of the class.
How Stadia Is Shaking Up the Gaming Industry
Game streaming – and Stadia in particular – capitalizes on both the enormous popularity of gaming channels and the demand for instant gratification that's deified platforms like Netflix and Spotify. In addition to powerful gaming capabilities, Stadia reduces friction between live streaming and gaming.
Ideally, fans of gaming channels will be able to watch their favorite YouTubers live stream from their device of choice. But here's the twist – they can then start playing that game instantly. You'd be able to transition from a viewer to a player "in as quick as five seconds," according to Google's VP Phil Harrison.
With no hardware beyond an optional wifi-capable controller, Google is (in their words) shifting the focus of gaming from a box to a place.
The data servers are your platform. There's no console that limits the developers' creative ideas, and no console that limits where gamers can play.
Phil Harrison, Vice President of Google
Challenges on the Horizon
They're not the first company to come at gaming from this angle, but with Google's resources and influence, they're a formidable entrant. Still, they're up against the same challenges that other cloud-based and IoT products face. While Stadia is only for Chrome and Android devices now, it'll still have to operate on the millions of desktops, laptops, TVs, tablets, and phones of its potential users.
Beyond the devices themselves, interoperability factors – wifi, Bluetooth, internet service providers, and even the weather – have a big impact on performance. Then there's the question of internet speeds. While the average US home has a connection speed that can handle Stadia's proposed 30 Mbps, areas without a nearby Google server may not be able to.
Beta In Their Corner
With the complexity of the mission at hand, you can bet that Google will be leveraging its beta program to meet these challenges head-on.
The company is a long-time believer in the value of both dogfooding and beta feedback initiatives. According to Google's own testing blog, they make heavy use of their own products before public release to work out instability issues. Even Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs stayed "in beta" for a full five years (and gained 100 million users) before they removed the "beta" label in 2009.
These dogfood versions often have features unavailable to the public but may be less stable. Instability is exactly what you want in your tools, right? Or, would you rather that frustration be passed on to your company's customers? Of course not!
Anthony Vallone, The Google Test and Development Environment
This isn't to say that updates stop coming once the project is out of beta. Rather, Google sees "beta" as a sign of its commitment to constant iteration. Being in beta shows that the culture of improvement is baked into its company values. It's easy to see from their history that beta testing, dogfooding, and other tester-based initiatives are leading the charge in innovation and progress.
But back to Stadia: how will Google use beta testing to overcome its most pressing obstacles? We can't know for sure, but here are our best guesses.
Resolving Performance and Interoperability
With plans to announce the next phase of Stadia sometime this summer, there have no doubt been several rounds of alpha testing by this point in its product lifecycle. But that doesn't mean there aren't several rounds to go. Maintaining stability, graphic quality, and lagless playthrough across all platforms will require fine-tuning based on user experiences outside of the Googleplex.
Prioritizing Features for a Global Audience
With the enormous scale of their audience, test managers will need to pull dozens of market segments into their beta program. For example, anyone with an Android phone can sign up for the Android Beta Program. That doesn't mean that this beta program is an exact reflection of the larger Android market. To enhance the experience of all their users, they'll need to identify and collect feedback from many different market cross-sections.
Developers will need to work around the clock to keep Stadia up to speed (pun intended) with modern technology. With hundreds of new devices released each year and 8K resolution on the horizon, continuous customer testing will pave the way for ensuring a seamless user experience.
Stadia has a long way to go before we can truly call it "the future of gaming." But Google's focus on driving development with alpha, beta, and continuous testing suggests it's not far off. Keep your eyes peeled – the future will be here sooner than you think.

Hello, starting few days ago there has been significant delays in custom processing time between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Some DHL that we have shipped 7 days ago are still in the customs and also some Hong Kong Post parcels. Because of this we can't guarantee the delivery time for DHL or Hong Kong Post shipped from Shenzhen. We will let you know how the situation develops in the next few days but until then please have patience if your parcel does not show as traceable on Hong Kong Post or DHL website. All Chinese shops in Shenzhen suffer from the same problems so we don't have any other option but to wait.
If you plan on buy-in AIO starting from today and you want to be sure of a exact delivery time we can offer you shipping from Romania by EMS or from USA by USPS to any country (the USPS fee is +7 USD) so you need to pay this extra money.
Sorry for the inconveniences caused!

Prof. Eduardo Secchi
I started my career on cetacean research in 1989 when taking my Bachelor's degree on Biological Oceanography at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande-FURG (Federal University of Rio Grande), in Rio Grande, southern Brazil. From 1991 to 1999 I was in charge for the Marine Mammal Laboratory at the "Museu Oceanográfico" (Oceanography Museum) of FURG. Since 1992/93 I have been leading a long-term project to evaluate the effects of by-catch on franciscana dolphins. Both my Masters (obtained at FURG, in 1999) and Ph.D. (obtained in 2006 at University of Otago in New Zealand) degrees addressed the population dynamics and viability of fransciscana. For these researches I was awarded with the First Prize as best research towarded the conservation of aquatic mammals in South America (in 2000) and with the Oliver Peason's Award by the American Society for Mammalogy (in 2007). Paralelelly, I also led several research projects on ecology and conservation of other cetacean species in Brazil and Antarctica. There have been over 40 publications in peer-reviewed journal and many others as non peer-reviewed papers, which resulted mostly from these medium and long-term projects. These publications provided contributions in genetics, population dynamics, fishery interactions, stock identity, modelling, and other areas that are relevant for the conservation of cetacean species. It is my medium-term goal to propose measures to mitigate effects of fishing-related mortality on the fate of franciscana and other coastal cetacean populations while allowing local communities to maintain their livelihoods through a responsible use of natural resources (fish in this case). My long-term goal is to improve the understanding of the dynamics, habitat requirement and threats for other marine mammal species and monitoring trends of franciscana and other species. My ultimate goal is capacity building of human resources. Since 2006 I am Adjunct Professor in the Institute of Oceanography at FURG. I am also in charge of the Marine Turtle and Mammal Laboratory at the same University where I have been supervising several undergraduates, masters and doctoral students from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. I have been Editor-in-Chief of the Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals from its beginning in 2002 up to 2007 and ad-hoc reviewer for many scientific journals in Brazil and abroad. I am also member of the Brazilian Government Task Force for Bycatch Mitigation and the Cetacean Specialists Group/World Conservation Union-Species Suvival Commission (CSG – IUCN/SSC).

A comment from Sheldon Wolfe RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, CSC on The Role of the Spec Writer got me thinking about how, in today's world of design and construction, the spec writer really is an information manager. Although spec writers have always been information managers to some extent, we did not call them information managers. Now – in the Information Age – we are more likely to think of information as a commodity to be gathered, filtered, organized, arranged, manipulated, layered, and packaged to suit our purposes. Information – embedded in drawings or in models or published separately – is information, and it must be managed effectively in order for the design and construction to be coordinated and complete. Designers and drafters also rely on information (in their heads or close at hand) in preparing drawings and models.
The rub between spec writers and designers is often related to that underlying information and how it is managed. A designer may want something that is inconsistent with a spec writer's information about given products or systems. Designers are more likely to focus on visual features and not see the rules a spec writer feels obligated to follow, based on product or system information or performance criteria considered by the spec writer. Faced with such a conflict, the spec writer may need to confirm the validity of the information and then convey it to the designer in a manner that focuses on the designer's interests (quite possibly the initial and lasting appearance of the completed construction). The designer may need to consider design intent in abstract terms that are not tightly linked to particular products and may need to adjust the intent in order to achieve a good fit with available products. The spec writer may also consider alternatives, researching other product information that may support the designer's intent. The goal would be to achieve a good fit between design intent and specified products in the completed construction.
Considering the role of the spec writer as an information manager may help unlock some opportunities for more effective collaboration with other members (and other information managers) of a project team.

A few weeks back, Sephora had an awesome Josie Maran set up for grabs for 500 points. I immediately added this gorgeous set to my shopping cart and anxiously awaited its arrival! I'm a huge Josie Maran fan and although i had already tried a couple of the products in this set, there were a few new items that i was anxious to dab into.
First, i'm a bit obsessed with makeup wipes! After all, keeping a few packs on my nightstand and bathroom ensures that i will never have an excuse to go to bed with makeup on! I have tried and liked many brands, though i always fall hard for those with soft cloth wipes that are gentle on my skin and eyes. Josie Maran's Bear Naked Wipes are packed with a blend of aloe vera, chamomile, cucumber and vitamin E. They are fragrance free (perfect for my sensitive eyes), and free of parabens and petrochemicals. The bonus... they feel luxuriously soft and wonderful on my skin!
Josie Maran's signature ingredient in most of her products is argan oil! Yes, it's hip... it's trendy right now... but it's also fabulous for your skin! Since i love multi-tasking products, this wonderfully rich oil is essential in my makeup bag and nightstand. I use JM's Argan Oil on my cuticles, dry knuckles and occasionally on my dry lids. It's fragrance free and gentle enough to use on my 5 year old girls which makes this product an absolutely staple at chez FMM!
Ok, so if you've kept up with my blog, you know i LOVE lip balm! I own many brands and keep this FMM staple just about everywhere... my makeup bags (yes, i have several - don't judge!), my night stand, most of my purses and probably most drawers in my house! Josie Maran's Argan Lip Treatment feel incredible! I simply apply some on my lips before bed to ensure that my lips wake up feeling soft and refreshed!
Josie Maran's Argan Cleansing Oil was my least favorite of this set. In fact, i'll be honest, aside from the fact that i don't enjoy an oil based cleanser for my face, i honestly couldn't get past the smell. I won't tell you what i thought it smelled like because i don't want to leave a visual, but lets just say, it wasn't pleasant... for my taste! I hate writing this negative portion of the review because i love keeping my reviews solely positive, but since this product was part of this set, i had to give you my raw and honest opinion.
Overall, i was very pleased with this set! I use and would absolutely purchase 3 out of 4 of these products again! Success!
Too bad I missed this! I just bought her Moisturizer and absolutely love it! I think I need to pick up some of these wipes for sure. Thanks for sharing!
I am always too, attracted by their packaging !
i would love to tory the bare naked lips! gotta look for it ! looks amazing! xO!
you know I always feel strange writing bad reviews but as a reader I really appreciate them. I really do want to know what you think about it! I'm really excited to try that lip balm and the wipes!


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Jan. 17, 2011) - Anderson Energy Ltd. ("Anderson Energy" or the "Company") (TSX:AXL) is pleased to provide an update of its Cardium drilling operations and its 2011 capital budget.
As of January 16, 2011, the Company has drilled 24 gross (17.2 net) Cardium horizontal oil wells with a 100% success rate. Of these wells, twenty gross (13.4 net) Cardium wells have been placed on production. The remaining four wells are expected to be producing in February 2011.
In November 2010, the Company reduced its interstage frac density from 100 meters to 75 meters with improved initial productivity when compared to offsetting wells. In January 2011, the Company conducted its first operated water based frac. The completion costs of this well are expected to be approximately $500,000 less than other oil based 18-20 tonne fracs. Initial oil production rates from the first water frac have been encouraging. The Company is continuing to evaluate the merits of water based fracs. If further evaluation is positive, this may prove to be a method to significantly decrease the costs of Cardium completions and improve economic returns.
The Company continues to add land through farm-ins, acquisitions and property swaps. The Company's non contingent drilling inventory has grown to 143 gross (85.3 net) development locations. Ultimate potential drilling inventory based on three wells per section is 309 gross (180 net) drilling locations. The Company has increased the Cardium prospective land that it owns or controls to 103 gross (60 net) sections of land.
In 2010, the Company developed Cardium horizontal core areas in Garrington, Willesden Green and Pembina East. This winter, a new Cardium core area is being developed in Ferrier. In each core area, tank batteries are built and individual wells drilled off pads are pipelined to the tank batteries further increasing efficiencies and decreasing operating costs. The Company consolidates its position in each core area through land acquisitions and farm-ins.
The Company is planning to direct almost 100% of its 2011 capital program to oil horizontal drilling, primarily in the Cardium. Anderson's Board of Directors has approved a capital budget (net of dispositions) of $75 million for 2011. The associated production guidance for 2011 is approximately 7,500 BOED (net of dispositions) of which 33% is oil and NGLs, up from 18% oil and NGLs in 2010. The Company is estimating it could potentially exit 2011 with 40% to 50% of its production being oil and NGLs. The Company considered alternative spending plans which yielded higher BOED production growth through spending on natural gas prospects but elected to proceed with the 100% oil capital budget as it yields higher cash flows through stronger oil netbacks. The Company is not planning to spend any capital on its natural gas properties in 2011 and therefore estimates that production from its gas and NGL properties will decline at an annual decline rate of approximately 25%. The Company believes that in the current commodity price environment with future strip pricing of greater than $90 per barrel WTI for oil and less than $4.00 per GJ AECO for gas, a capital program focused primarily on Cardium horizontal oil is prudent. Based on current strip pricing, the Company's 2011 cash flow is estimated to be approximately 50% higher than 2010 cash flow.
The Company is planning to drill 32 gross (22.0 net capital, 20.0 net revenue) Cardium horizontal oil wells in 2011 of which 16 gross (13.8 net capital, 11.8 net revenue) wells are planned to be drilled in the first quarter. Also in the first quarter of 2011, the Company will be completing and tying in for production two gross (2.0 net revenue) Cardium wells that were drilled in 2010. The Company currently has three drilling rigs working in the field. The Cardium drilling program in the first quarter of 2011 is designed to add significant oil volumes by the second quarter. The Company continues to review the commodity price outlook and could potentially add to its 2011 drilling program with additional Cardium oil horizontal drilling. In the event the outlook improves for natural gas, the Company may also supplement its 2011 budget with natural gas drilling prospects.
The Company has identified four horizontal oil projects which are not in the Cardium zone and will be working on structuring a joint venture project to get them drilled in 2011.
On December 31, 2010, the Company completed a $50.0 million convertible subordinated debenture financing. The debentures have a five year term with a 7.5% coupon and a conversion price of $1.55 per share. Proceeds were initially used to reduce the Company's bank indebtedness and provide financial flexibility for its 2011 capital program. The Company has signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell $5 million in properties and expects to close that transaction in mid February 2011. The Company is budgeting to sell a total of $10 million in assets in 2011. The Company is financing its drilling program with bank debt, cash flow and dispositions in 2011.
The Company continues to add to its Cardium prospective lands through various acquisition initiatives and continues to improve upon the cost and productivity of its wells through new ideas and technologies. The Company has now repositioned itself for oil production and oil reserves growth in 2011.
We encourage shareholders to visit the Company's website www.andersonenergy.ca for more details on the Company's Cardium horizontal program.

Richie Havens (Brooklyn, 21 januari 1941 – Jersey City, 22 april 2013) was een Amerikaanse singer-songwriter en gitarist. Zijn muziek bevatte elementen van folk, soul, en rhythm en blues. Zijn wilde gitaarspel maakte hem in de jaren 60 tot een groot muzikant.

Jeugd
Richie Havens werd geboren op 21 januari 1941 in Brooklyn, als zoon van een pianist. Havens werd al vroeg bij de muziek van zijn familie betrokken, maar hij zelf had ook aanleg voor beeldende kunst. Zodoende heeft hij enkele jaren in Greenwich Village op straat portrettekeningen van toeristen gemaakt.

In Greenwich Village ontwikkelde Havens ook meer muzikale interesse. Hij was in folkclubs een bezienswaardigheid, omdat hij zich als zwarte muzikant tussen voornamelijk blanken voortbewoog. Havens liet zich inspireren door onder anderen Bob Dylan en Joan Baez, maar voegde daar zelf een aantal herkenbare elementen aan toe. Zo was het bekend dat hij zijn gitaar standaard op het akkoord D majeur had afgestemd, en zijn er af en toe elementen van zijn verleden als jonge gospelzanger in te horen. Bovendien tikte hij bij het spelen zo ritmisch met zijn voet op de grond, dat het klonk alsof er een drumpartij gespeeld werd. Dat, en zijn snelle gitaarspel, maakte van Havens' muziek een geheel eigen stijl, die ervoor zorgde dat hij in 1965 een contract kreeg aangeboden bij platenmaatschappij Douglas.

Woodstock en daarna
Een muzikaal hoogtepunt was voor Havens zijn optreden op de beroemde Woodstock Music & Arts Fair, een van de grootste popfestivals ooit, in 1969. Vanwege de vertragingen van de aankomst van de andere artiesten, bleef Havens doorspelen totdat hij afgelost kon worden (het optreden duurde alles samen drie uur). Op het moment dat al zijn nummers al gespeeld waren, besloot hij een improvisatie te spelen op het nummer 'Motherless Child', waarin hij het woord freedom keer op keer herhaalde. Onder de titel 'Freedom' werd dit nummer een internationale hit.

Na Woodstock kwam Havens carrière in een stroomversnelling. Hij speelde veel eigen versies van nummers van onder anderen Bob Dylan en The Beatles, waar 'Here Comes the Sun' een bekend voorbeeld van is. Ook speelde hij mee op de soloalbums van ex-Genesisleden Peter Gabriel en Steve Hackett. Bovendien speelde hij in 1993 bij de inwijding van Bill Clinton als president. In de jaren 90 had hij een clubhit met een cover van Going back to my roots. Het nummer Hands of Time, dat hij samen met Groove Armada maakte, werd in 2004 gebruikt in de film Collateral (waarin o.a. Jamie Foxx en Tom Cruise speelden). Het nummer werd in die film door een van de karakters als een klassieker afgeschilderd. Later werd Hands of Time ook gebruikt in programma's als Over Mijn Lijk.

Havens overleed op 72-jarige leeftijd aan een hartaanval.

Israel has reopened the main cargo crossing to the Gaza Strip, as a new Hamas security force began to operate in the area.
The decision by the new Israeli defence minister, Amir Peretz, to open the Karni crossing on Wednesday signals a policy shift directed at easing security restrictions on Palestinians, according to military officials.
The crossing has been closed since April 4 and for a total of 55 days since January, due to terror alerts caused by Karni being a target by militants.
Palestinians rely on the crossing for exports, especially of fruits and vegetables they grow in the hot, coastal area.
They also import other food through Karni, including dairy products and flour.
Also on Wednesday, the Hamas interior minister, Said Siam, said that a new security force had begun operating in the Gaza Strip.
Despite being vetoed by the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, the force will be made up of 3,000 members drawn from all Palestinian factions and report to the interior ministry.
Siam told a news conference in Gaza City: "The current weakness of the security forces is clear to everyone. There is stealing, kidnapping and killing so there is a real need for this force."
Siam announced on April 21 that he was creating a new special security force of gunmen from armed factions to assist the work being done by Palestinian police and existing security forces.
He also nominated a Gaza-based fighter wanted by Israel, Jamal Abu Samhadana, for a role with the interior ministry to manage security concerns.
Abbas, who, as president, has overall responsibility for security, dismissed the force and the appointment of Abu Samhadana as unconstitutional when they were announced.
More recently, however, officials close to the president have indicated that he would not have a problem with the force if it acted as a volunteer auxiliary to security facilities.
There was no immediate comment on Wednesday's announcement from Abbas, who is in Strasbourg.

N Korea: Tokyo's bid a 'serious insult'
North Korea has slammed Tokyo's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games, calling it a "serious insult" to sport amidst fears Japan would ban athletes from the communist state.
Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea's state-run news broadcaster, was quoted as saying Japan was "keen to give the impression that (it) can host (the) Olympics. This is enough to make a cat laugh."
"The Japanese bid to make the Olympics their political play-thing is nothing but a serious insult to the sacred Olympic Charter," KCNA added.
KCNA went on to label Tokyo's bid to host the 2016 Olympics the "height of folly" and, in typically confrontational language, described Japanese Olympic officials as "political dwarfs and dregs".
Last month, Japan banned three North Korean synchronized swimmers from entering the country to contest the World Cup, prompting the entire North Korean delegation to boycott the event.
The banning was part of sanctions imposed on North Korea following Pyongyang's test-firing of missiles in July.
"The Japanese… (would) put pressure upon those countries which incur their displeasure and prevent them from participating in the Olympic Games," said KCNA.
North Korea's criticism of Tokyo's Olympic bid comes ahead of Japan's new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's regional tour to discuss Pyongyang's threat to conduct further nuclear tests.
Tokyo became the first Asian host of the Summer Games in 1964, while the northern Japanese city of Sapporo hosted the Winter Olympics in 1972.

De Nationale Wederopbouw (Reconstrucción Nacional) is de periode tussen  1883 en 1895 waarin Peru zich na afloop van de Salpeteroorlog op economisch, politiek en sociaal niveau herstelde. Deze periode wordt ook gekenmerkt als Segundo Militarismo, ofwel Tweede Militaire Bewind, nadat Peru een periode van democratie had gekend in de jaren zeventig van de 19e eeuw.

Met de ondertekening van het Verdrag van Ancón in 1883 werd de Salpeteroorlog met Chili bijgelegd. Peru bleef echter in alle aspecten in crisis achter: op economisch, sociaal, politiek en cultureel niveau. Het civilisme, ofwel van de beweging die ernaar streefde dat het land geregeerd werd door burgers in plaats van militairen, bevond zich in een crisis en bleek niet in staat het land uit het bankroet los te maken. Daarbij moest het land zijn economische belangen zien veilig te stellen, in het bijzonder die in relatie tot Bolivia en Chili, een ontwikkeling die daarom het leiderschap van de voorzichtige militairen wordt genoemd.

Regeringsleiders
1883-1885: Miguel Iglesias
1886-1890: Andrés Avelino Cáceres
1890-1894: Remigio Morales Bermúdez
1894-1895: Andrés Avelino Cáceres (opnieuw)

The meaning of self-discipline is "the ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses; the ability to pursue what one thinks is right despite temptations to abandon it". Hence, self-discipline is the key to achieving success consistently in one's endeavours.
Your proper attention is the foremost thing you need to crack any competitive exam. You need to create a lifestyle that would help you do well in the competitive exam and also in life.
To acquire any skill, you actually have to want it and yearn for it. Then only you will work towards it. Your true desire will surely make you put it into action accordingly.
Self-discipline is a skill and like any other skill, it can be obtained only with regular practice.
Make a clear plan of your schedule. It will drive your entire pursuit. Start with the allocation of time and the activity.
Create a proper routine will help you stick to your plans and also make it easier for you to do things by helping you develop habits.
The things that can be achieved only with hard work, should not be left to luck or the chance of things going your way.
Stay positive when you start doing something new. You need to trust yourself that when you put in the work you will get a positive result. A little every day adds up to something big.
You have to accept some discomfort which you get while developing self-discipline but do not pressurize yourself with too many things. Just focus on showing up and doing what you have to.
Stay away from distractions. No Facebook/ TV / Video games/ smartphones for some time will do no damage but no studying/ sticking to your plan will have serious repercussions now and in the future.
Most importantly, you have only one thing to do just focus on doing what you have to. With time, you will start enjoying.


A Baton Rouge millionaire, Lane Grigsby, is banking on the purchase of Louisiana's state school board in this October's Board of Elementary and Secondary Education election. He's got help from his friends: Los Angeles billionaire Eli Broad and Walmart heirs Jim and Alice Walton. In his October filing with the Louisiana ethics administration, Mr. Grigsby through his one-man political action committee, Empower Louisiana, is facilitating the spending of over $400,000 of Walton money and $250,000 of Mr. Broad's money. The Waltons contributed an additional $325,000 to a like-minded political action committee called Louisiana Federation for Children.
According to The New Orleans Advocate, this Big Box gang will spend over a million dollars in three races to support Jim Garvey of Metairie, Tony Davis of Natchitoches, and Holly Boffy of Lafayette. Two of these candidates, Mr. Garvey and Ms. Boffy, are incumbents who have been instrumental to this new education oligarchy working diligently to provide: the standardized delivery of Common Core, the bankrupting of local school systems to channel money to un-elected private and charter school boards, and accountability measures as a means to weaken and cheapen Louisiana's teacher corps.
What Mr. Grigsby and his out-of-state friends have in common is big talk about raising standards, but don't let them fool you. This is not about raising standards, this is about establishing a corporate welfare system for charter schools, private school operators and testing and textbook companies at the expense of the Louisiana taxpayer. This is about advocating for the sub-standard, standardized products of the education-industrial age that sacrifice quality for quantity. Democratically controlled neighborhood schools are the new "buy local" and the Walmart Waltons will have none of it. They will claim 'failure', shut your local school, and authorize a for-profit charter or issue unaccountable vouchers.
Many of us are at odds with our own democracy because we see the process dictated to us by money and ideological zealots. When the zealotry is devoid of a deeper intellectual understanding of the science of educating children and has every appearance of being a pursuit of profit at the expense of our youngest and most vulnerable citizens, we are at a critical impasse.
It is time to re-evaluate this 'Big Box' approach and put education back in the hands of parents and educators.
