About Buddha
Lord Buddha is seated on a beautiful lotus throne with two makaras and a halo behind his head. He is depicted in the Bhumisparsha mudra or earth touching mudra. This gesture is performed by extending the right hand downwards to touch the ground with its fingertips. It symbolizes the precise moment when the awakening Buddha, Shakyamuni, vanquished the army of Mara beneath the bodhi-tree and summoned the goddess of the earth Sthavara, to bear witness to his countless acts of sacrifice.
This wooden statue is a one of a kind statue hand carved by the wood artists of South India. The sculpture pictured is the only sculpture Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this piece you will receive this exact sculpture. It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this!
"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."
~ Buddha~
The Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism, the religion and the philosophical system that produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia. Buddha, meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title not a name. In Hindu Dogma, the Buddha is viewed as being the 9th avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.
The Buddha was a son of the rulers Sakyas. He was married at the age of 16 and lived in luxury and comfort sheltered from the harsh realities of life. When he was 29 he realized that men are subject to old age, sickness and death. He became aware of the suffering inherent in existence. He resolved to give up princely life and become a wandering ascetic (samana) in search for the Truth.
With the two of samanas he attained mystical states of elevated consciousness but he failed to find the Truth. He continued his search and was joined by five ascetics in a grove near Uruvela, where he practiced sever austerities and self-mortification for six years. When he fainted away in weakness, he abandoned ascetic practices to seek his own path to Enlightenment. Discarding the teachings of his contemporaries, through meditation he achieved Enlightenment, or ultimate understanding. There after the Buddha instructed his followers in the dharma (truth) and the "Middle Way" a path between worldly life and extremes of self-denial.
The essence of the Buddha's early preaching was said to be the four Noble truths: 1) life is fundamentally disappointment and suffering. 2) suffering is a result of one's desires for pleasure, power, and continued existence; 3) to stop disappointment and suffering on must stop desiring; and 4) the way to stop desiring and thus suffering is the Noble eight fold path - right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness and right concentration. The realization of the truth of anatman (no eternal self) was taught as essential for the indescribable state of release called nirvana.

"Respond to every call that excites your spirit."- Rumi Coming from the land of colours, Gujarat, a small village Khavda-Bhuj, in her colourful ghagra (traditional Gujarathi dress) with a duppatta (the shawl) covering her head, Rahima Bhen is the image of simplicity and rural India…..Khavda pottery, unchanged through centuries, is the art of making pottery with a special mud, found near the village lake called, 'Rann Ki Mitti'. The fine mud is put into water to soften it and takes any shape easily…Used on a potters' wheel called 'chakda' and shaped with hands, its special feature is its colour and the paintings adorning it. Once it takes shape, it is cleaned, sun dried and then baked in a furnace. The vessels are then coated with a thin wash of 'Geru', a type of soil which gives it the special colour. The womenfolk then paint the items, by using natural colours.
Frayed bamboo twigs used to paint the natural colours.
Blackish red is got by pounding the stone, 'Geru' and leaving it in water.
The white is 'khari' mitti ( fine soil) mixed with water.
The clay is the special mud called 'Rann ki mitti'.
The potters' wheel ( chakda).
And lots of talent and hard work.
At the workshop conducted by heartforart, I see pottery items painted with beautiful reddish black and white colours. The lady who paints this has a shy beguiling smile. Using her creativity, she paints designs on them as she imagines them, taking her inspiration from nature….the scorpion, flowers are some we asked her about. As I interacted with her, she was equally curious and wanted to know if I had visited Kutch…When I said I intended to, I immediately got an invite to her house…to taste bajre ki roti aur chutney…how sweet is that.
Abdul Ibrahim, her husband is equally friendly….. As we chat, he speaks of these workshops which help them establish their craft and get contacts for commissioned work. He has received orders for dinner sets from Pune, Delhi and Calcutta. Most of their sales happen during Rann Utsav, when there is a celebratory atmosphere and lots of tourists…definitely on my bucket list now.
As usual I cannot help it…I advise (somebody help me in this….bad, bad habit).
"Abdul Bhai, why not have the bottles with a wider rim? We may break it while cleaning".
They don't expect charity…they only want our patronage. "Can we do it???" This is the question we have to answer.
White dots everywhere in the art are indeed catching up my eye…These white dots remain unified almost everywhere in this art form… I could connect this with our hindu alankar for brides/tulsi deity while in her bridal avatar … I guess Indus valley civilization is where all these together come from…..!!!
Very Interesting works practiced since then….its indeed a great idea to put all these to everyone's awareness!! Great job Anupama!!
Thanks Vidya..Yes must be…though I did not make the connection of white dots…takes a keen eye to make the connection.Hope everyone enjoys these insights.

Alok Technology Incubation Centre – breaking down the plastic molecule
Interview – Vikram Bhadauria of Alok Masterbatches
We had an opportunity to visit the Alok Technology Incubation Centre in South Delhi's Okhla Industrial Area a few days ago. The creator of this platform is Alok Masterbatches, a Rs. 400 crore (US$ 60 million) company with six masterbatch manufacturing plants including five in India and one in Latin America. The newest plant in Silvassa has a capacity of manufacturing 5,000 tons a month. ATIC is the technology platform that it established about five years ago to foster a much-needed R&D culture in order to come up with technology solutions for its customers.
At ATIC, Vikram Bhadauria, who leads the technology team of the company as a whole, introduced us to vice president of technology Dr Nitin Joshi and showed us around the center consisting of a research lab, a lab with advance measuring instruments, a mixing lab or kitchen for making experimental masterbatches, and finally a small extrusion blown film machine for producing prototype films and structures.
Bhadauria says, "We set up this industry 25 years ago, and we set up ATIC 5 years ago with the core philosophy of adding good to everything whether it is relationships or plastics. Earlier we built R&D teams that after six months used to get coopted by production. We wanted to separate the R&D and do something scientific and new without any financial targets—to work on something new to build new products and new product technologies, not only masterbatches, but to really think of something new.
ATIC is an open technology platform for anyone to come and use it for help in finding solutions for their plastics applications—anything and everything for current and future needs. After we started with a fresh batch of engineers straight off the campus, customers slowly came to us for a variety of reasons – perhaps they had seen something in Europe or the US and asked if it could be produced here. Global suppliers came to us looking for Indian partners."
ATIC is a success story that has won awards for its innovative R&D solutions. Bhadauria explains its mission, "In India we see that there is shortage of durable products and while plastics offer many solutions, keeping our conditions in mind we have to make sure these are safe, sustainable and also affordable."
He explains that the masterbatches (or additives) developed by ATIC are used in several key areas of plastic management such as UV and IR radiation, electromagnetic interference shielding, density modification process improvement and heat management. "Thus you can use plastic to make tent material for the Indian army which works in cold conditions, in a snowy environment and just by flipping it over, in hot and desert conditions. This is done just by heat management. There is electrical management of plastics also, such as anti-static, which is useful for defense applications such as explosives and EMI shielding (electromagnetic interference shielding) for all kinds of electronic products and instruments. With density management of plastics we can make them lighter and with thermal management of plastics, we can have plastics conducting heat."
Vikram Bhadauria, director of ALOK Masterbatches
Bhadauria, like several leading Indian plastic industry professionals, was educated at one of the finest chemical and plastic engineering schools in the world, at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, which is also partnering the PlastIndia Foundation in building its Plastics University in Vapi, Gujarat. He gives examples of some the notable R&D successes of the company, "In 2003, a farmer contacted us who had used some films in Israel and he wanted help in producing some special mulch films for agriculture for which he foresaw a big market in India. Apart from seeking our center's help, he used various consultants and testing facilities including Central Institute of Plastic Engineering (CIPET) and even brought some ingredients from Europe.
"Ultimately, we helped him produce a film that worked as well, if not better, than the Israeli film. In 2015, this agricultural film won us the innovation award. Now from one machine he has four machines to produce these films – from being a farmer he has become an industrialist."
It is clear that in its time of trouble plastics will have to be driven by sustainability. This is well understood by Bhadauria and he is articulate about it, "On plastic waste – there are three pillars to this: industry, government and society." Right now there is a bit of noise around the issues and when the situation evolves Bhadauria expects the discussion to become more scientific.
Oxo-biodegradable plastics
Ironically the government has banned only plastic use less than 50 microns, which is generally a single plastic structure and which should be easy to recycle. The real challenge is to produce multi-layer plastics of multi-polymers that do not have to be merely down-cycled into inferior products. The rules of a circular economy dictate that materials after use and re-use are recycled into products of equivalent or greater value first and only then down-cycled. He adds that even with many regular oxo-biodegradable plastics there is still a question mark, because with these one piece of plastic merely breaks down into a million pieces. Plastic, which has a molecular weight of 500,000 Dalton (Da), takes about 70 to 80 years to degrade and the body cannot digest it.
Bhadauria tells us about ATIC's successful partnership with Willow Ridge, a leading manufacturer of oxo-biodegradable additives. Willow Ridge has a very unique oxo-biodegradable technology that transforms plastic films into mulch in 6 to 8 months, which is appropriate for many applications.
The Willow Ridge technology reduces the molecular weight of plastic from 500,000 Da to below 4,000 Da. Anything organic, and plastic is organic, that is below 4,000 Da becomes bio-digestable – if a fish eats it, an animal or human eats it, it is digested and thrown out. The enzymes attack it. Willow Ridge has developed a technology that makes sure the degradation goes beyond 4,000 Da.
Nitin Joshi, vice president- Technology at Alok Masterbatches
Taking on the multilayer plastic recycling challenge
Bhadauria also tells us about how ATIC is working with three technologies – one for making oxo-biodegradable plastics and the other with which we can recycle a multi-layer structure. This is a 5-layer multi-layer structure that is recyclable – that will be laterally recyclable. It could be used for instant noodle or biscuit pouches, by adding an additive masterbatch to help recycle multi-layer structures. "We were approached by a partner and we have developed a product for which we have filed a patent and which will be recyclable.
A third product is anti-static additive for films used for explosives or electrical and electronics. "Our additive makes the plastic permanently anti-static. This product can be used for the packaging of electronics," says Bhadauria.
We ask him about some of the cost issues and as in all his calm and articulate responses, he says, "The customer will pay, especially when the government comes in with multi-layer legislation. This happened in the white goods industry when self-regulation and not legislation was needed for eliminating heavy metals in any plastic that they use. The self-regulation came from Samsung, LG and others. The inputs are available; it is up to the industry and society and the government to get their act together but it is obvious that the industry can lead; all it takes is one leader.
"If Patanjali says tomorrow that their packaging is laterally or upwardly recyclable, everyone will jump on the bandwagon. For the past 20 years the plastic industry has been saying that plastics don't pollute, people do. This is so similar to the National Rifle Associations slogan that says 'Guns don't kill people, people kill people.' Our blaming the public is being associated with such a negative slogan that it has set the plastic industry back." It is clear Bhadauria has some but may be not all the answers, but he has built something that can contribute to our curiosity, our science and our ability to take on the future.
How much do you really know about packaging
What is the unit for the molecular weight of plastics?
The unit of MW for polymers is the same as that of non-polymeric compounds; it is g/mol (or Dalton, Da). This is very simple in non-polymeric compounds (e.g., NaCl salt), but in the case of polymers it is so complicated as they include long macromolecular chains with various length size. It is more common to state the MW of polymers as a statistical measure and degree of polymerization (DP), which is the average number of monomers in the polymer sample. Therefore, DP is the average MW of polymer divided by the MW of monomer.

EU Looking to Reduce Dairy Exports
NEW DELHI/June 20/Asia Pulse -- The European Union, a major exporter of dairy products, is likely to witness a dip in overseas sales of milk articles due to rising domestic demand, a situation similar to India, if a report by the European Commission is anything to go by.
According to the report, EU's market share of global butter exports is expected to drop to 22% by 2015 from 38% in 2005.
Exports of skimmed milk powder (SMP) and cheese from the EU are also likely to be hit because of growing consumption there, the report said.
Back home in India, the government had on February 2 banned export of SMP till September, fearing further increase in milk prices.
Although the industry expects that the ban will be lifted in September, the government is non-committal on the same.
Animal Husbandry and Dairy Secretary Charusheela Sohoni last month said the government has to keep the consumers' interest in mind at the time of reviewing the decision.
Prices of SMP have now increased to US$4,400-US$4,900 (Rs 178,200-198,450) per ton in the international market from US$3,000-US$3,250 a ton in February this year.
In India, skimmed milk powder currently rules in the range of Rs 140,000-142,000 per ton, a milk processor said.
Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar last week said India, which is the largest milk producer in the world, would have to increase its milk production by five million tons every year to meet the expected demand of 180 million tons by 2021-22.
He said efforts must be made to raise the marketable surplus of organised dairy sector from the current level of 30% to 70% by 2021.

The power of suggestion is a great way to overcome your fear of flying. Visit the airport a few times before you travel. Our rivals brought Australian and American influences in writing and presentation styles as well as their use of interviews and "clips" rather than lengthy dispatches voiced by BBC correspondents. Many in Ted Heath's Conservative government at the time were critical of Radios 1 and 2 there was pressure on them to be sold off or closed down..
In 2004 the British Medical Journal published the team's study showing that trained dogs could pick out the urine samples of people with bladder cancer. The dogs were not infallible, but, on average, they got the diagnosis right in four out of 10 cases way higher than might occur by chance alone.
Check the ingredients). Declined in 1999, but deaths related to being overweight/obese were showing dramatic increases as early as 1998. So the idea of getting a home air purifier comes to mind. I hope that with an environment of cleaner and purer air, my son will be able to breathe easy and his lungs be strengthened in due course.
Rent is super high here, especially in Manhattan. Generally the closer you get to midtown the higher the monthly rent. I am not an engineer or programmer or developer so I don't have any needs greater than that. If I need some raw computing horsepower, I would prefer to get a new desktop with proper silicon..
First starting with my head feeling head achy and stuffed up. Then working its way into my lungs, giving me those deep coughs that continued on when I wanted them to stop. Helps the game is at home.LSU is our toughest test but I see us pulling out a close W in a hostile environment. Our offense has so many weapons and Vandy will be the game to get everyone some reps, especially in the passing game.
This bent structure allows room for the hand to move up and down while the fabric can remain flat on the table without it being lifted as it's being cut. Most importantly this allows for a better cutting accuracy.. "The decision to go to the [spy court] is something the president has directed as a matter of policy," a senior administration official explained to me after Friday's speech. "Arrangements are worked out between the government and the court," the official said, and the court has "not mandated" rules for pre screening the bulk database..
He talked about how this "peaceful" group that's coming up has already wounded several Mexican police/military personnel and that, yes, he is sending troops to the border to defend it. Any sovereign nation has that right: Mexico has that right and makes use of it.
I love it so much. 'Mid90s,' like, was my best friend. Suppose all the steel products are supplied by a single firm, then we can say it is a monopoly. An important difference between perfect completion and monopoly is that under perfect competition, there will be several numbers of sellers but under monopoly, there will be only one seller.


It has been a wonderful wedding season and I have worked with so many lovely couples alongside their amazing families, and Danielle and Konstantin are one of those incredible couples. Danielle is like a breath of fresh air and so beautiful. Konstantin is super easy going and clearly in love with Danielle. Together they make such a wonderful pair.
Their wedding day was beautiful. I don't think there was a cloud in the sky and it was in the low 80s, the kind of day you dream of when you plan an October wedding. I spent the morning with the ladies which included lots of laughter, beauties abound (you too dad!), and these sweet purple hoodies the girls received as gifts.
A big shout out to my home girl Susan Kowalski for photographing the day with me! Anne Renaud for being so awesome and for making the connection. And thanks to Annie and Rob of Grace Episcopal Church, Salon 241, Paris Productions, and to Hotel Northampton.

Franz von Lautern, lat. Franciscus de Lutra (* vermutlich in Kaiserslautern; † um 1326 in Regensburg); war ein Franziskaner innerhalb der Bewegung der Spiritualen. Im 14. Jahrhundert musste er sich wegen gegen seine franziskanischen Mitbrüder gerichteter Schriften vor dem päpstlichen Gerichtshof in Avignon verantworten.

Leben und Schriften
Über das Leben von Lauterns ist wenig bekannt. Fassbar wird er durch die von ihm verfassten Schreiben gegen seine Mitbrüder, die in Anklageschriften gegen ihn überliefert sind und durch päpstliche Schreiben an den Speyrer Bischof Emichus von Leiningen mit der Aufforderung, Franz von Lautern gefangen zu nehmen und nach Avignon auszuliefern. Franz von Lutra war Mitglied des Franziskanerkonvents in Speyer, der zur Oberdeutschen (Straßburger) Franziskanerprovinz gehörte. Er floh am 18. Oktober 1320 aus dem Konvent und heftete ein Schreiben mit Beschimpfungen gegen seine Mitbrüder an die Domtür in Speyer. Ein weiteres Schreiben mit Anklagen gegen seine Mitbrüder sandte er an den Rat der Stadt Speyer. Beide Schreiben enthielten Kritik an der Spiritualität der Franziskaner.

Am 13. Februar 1321 erging ein Schreiben von Papst Johannes XXII. an den Bischof Emicho von Speyer. In diesem Schreiben wurde der Bischof zur Gefangennahme des Franz von Lautern und dessen Überführung nach Avignon aufgefordert. Franz von Lautern wird in dem Schreiben beschuldigt, öffentlich gegen seinen Orden gepredigt zu haben und die Lebensart der Sarabaiten wieder einführen zu wollen. Am 21. Februar desselben Jahres klagte ihn der Speyrer Guardian der Franziskaner, Mengutos wegen Häresie an. Der Guardian bringt auch vor,  Franz von Lautern sei als Kaplan des Speyrer Bischofs aufgetreten. Der Speyrer Bischof lag in dieser Zeit selbst im Streit mit den Minderbrüdern, daher hielt er wohl seine schützende Hand über ihn. Im Mai 1322 lenkte der Bischof aufgrund des päpstlichen Drucks jedoch ein und Franz von Lautern wurde nach Avignon ausgeliefert, wo sich zu dieser Zeit der Heilige Stuhl befand. Hier war von Lautern einige Zeit eingekerkert, bis er vom Ordensgeneral der Franziskaner, Michael von Cesena, und mit der Zustimmung des Papstes die Erlaubnis erhielt, in den Benediktinerorden einzutreten. Franz zog jedoch nicht in das Benediktinerkloster St. Andreas von Villanova, sondern tauchte unter. Er versuchte weiterhin seine Ansichten in Briefen zu verteidigen, war aber seit dem Januar des Jahres 1326 in den Quellen nicht mehr fassbar.

In seinen Schriften gibt Franz von Lautern an, dass er seine Kritik auf Eingebung des Heiligen Geistes geschrieben habe und als "Wort Christi" verkünde. Im Wesentlichen wirft er seinen Mitbrüdern vor, dass diese nur noch dem Namen nach Minderbrüder seien. In Wahrheit seien sie zu Feinden der wahren Minderbrüder geworden. Die wahren Minderbrüder, die zu einer Minderheit im Orden geworden seien, sollten nicht mehr auf Gebote ihrer Oberen hören, die der Ordensregel des hl. Franziskus widersprächen.

Плазма (, "нещо оформено") е едно от четирите фундаментални агрегатни състояния на веществото, наред с твърдото, течното и газообразното състояние.

Плазмата може да се формира при нагряване на газ или подлагането му на силно електромагнитно поле, създадено от лазер или микровълнов генератор. По този начин се предизвиква йонизация – формиране на електрически заредени йони, при което се разрушават съществуващите ковалентни връзки. Йоните имат голяма относителна концентрация, еднаква или почти еднаква за положителните и отрицателните йони, като скоростта на движението им под действието на външно електрическо поле е по-малка от топлинната им скорост на движение.

Наличието на голям брой носители на заряд прави плазмата електропроводима и силно чувствителна към въздействието на електромагнитни полета. Подобно на газовете, плазмата няма определена форма или обем, освен ако е затворена в съд. За разлика от газовете, под влияние на магнитно поле тя може да образува структури, като нишки и лъчи.

Плазмата е най-разпространената форма на барионна материя във Вселената, (ако не се отчита хипотетичната тъмна материя, за която не е изяснено дали е барионна). Основната част от плазмата формира разредените междугалактически области на космическото пространство, най-вече междуклъстерната среда, както и звездите, включително Слънцето. Играе важна роля в космическите процеси, тъй като в нея протичат естествените термоядрени реакции – източник на звездната енергия. Освен това тя се среща в йоносферата, в светкавиците, а изкуствено се създава при някои газови разряди, при електрическа дъга, електрическа искра и други. Плазмата изпълва разрядното пространство на газотроните и тиратроните, интересно приложение има в плазмените дисплеи.

Явлението е открито през 1879 година, а названието плазма получава през 1928 г. Повечето сведения за плазмата са резултат от изследванията, насочени към създаване на управляем термоядрен синтез, научна основа на които е физиката на плазмата.

Свойства

Характерно свойство на плазмата е възможността в нея да възникват електромагнитни трептения на йоните с много широк честотен спектър – от звукова честота до честоти от порядъка на милиони трептения в секунда. Тя има диамагнитни свойства и е добър проводник на електрически ток. Интересът към плазмата е силно повишен във връзка с проблемите на управляемите термоядрени реакции, при които е необходимо получаване на плазма с много висока температура. Действието на подходящи силни магнитни полета служи за задържане на плазмата в дадено пространство и откъсване от стените на съда, което води до стабилизиране и термоизолация. Така може да се получи плазма с температура няколко десетки милиона келвина, а се очаква и до няколкостотин милиона градуса, достатъчна за протичане на термоядрена реакция. Не са преодолени всички трудности при образуването на напълно стабилна, дълготрайна, високотемпературна плазма, необходима за получаване на енергия за сметка на ядрен синтез.

Определение
Плазма е частично или напълно йонизиран газ, в който плътностите на положителните и отрицателните заряди са практически еднакви. Не всяка система от заредени частици може да се нарече плазма.

Диапазон на параметрите
Размерите на плазмения поток варират в много широки граници, но характеристиките на плазми с привидно различаващи се параметри могат да бъдат сходни. Долната таблица отчита само конвенционалните атомни плазми, а не особени явления, като кварк-глуонната плазма:

Степен на йонизация

За съществуването на плазмата е необходима йонизация. Терминът "плътност на плазмата" обикновено се отнася за "електронната плътност", т.е. за броя на свободните електрони на единица обем. Степента на йонизация на плазмата е делът на атомите, които са загубили или приели електрони, и зависи предимно от температурата. Дори частично йонизиран газ със само 1% от атомите йонизирани може да има характеристиките на плазма, например да реагира на магнитни полета и да има висока електропроводимост. Степента на йонизация  се дефинира като , където  е броят йони в единица обем, а  е броят неутрални атоми в единица обем. Електронната плътност е свързана със степента на йонизация чрез средното състояние на зареденост на йоните : , където  е броят електрони в единица обем.

Плазмата понякога се нарича "гореща", ако е почти напълно йонизирана, и "студена", ако само малък процент от газовите молекули (примерно 1%) е йонизирана. Това е само едно от определенията за студена и гореща плазма, съществуват и други такива. Дори в "студената" плазма температурата на електроните е от порядъка на хиляди градуса по Целзий. Технологичните плазми обикновено са студени плазми.

Температура
Температурата на плазмата обикновено се измерва в келвини или електронволтове и е мярка за средната топлинна кинетична енергия на една частица. Обикновено поддържането на йонизацията, която е определящата характеристика на плазмата, изисква високи температури. Степента на йонизация се определя от отношението на електронната температура към йонизационната енергия (и донякъде към плътността), като връзката е уравнението на Саха. При ниски температури йоните и електроните са склонни да се рекомбинират в атоми и плазмата се превръща в газ.

В повечето случаи електроните са близко до топлинно равновесие и тяхната температура е относително добре дефинирана, дори тогава когато има съществени отклонения от разпределителната функция на Максуел-Болцман, дължащи се например на ултравиолетово излъчване или силни електрични полета. Заради съществената разлика в масите, електроните достигат топлинно равновесие помежду си сравнително бързо, отколкото с неутралните атоми или йони. Затова "йонната температура" е може много да се различава (като обикновено е по-ниска) от "електронната температура". Този ефект е особено силен при слабойонизирани технологични плазми, където йоните често са с температура, близка до тази на окръжаващата среда.

На основата на относителните температури на електроните, йоните и неутралните атоми, плазмите се класифицират като "термични" и "нетермични". Термичните плазми имат една и съща температура на йоните и електроните, т.е. различните частици са в термично равновесие помежду си, докато нетермичните имат значително по-ниска температура на йоните в сравнение с тази на електроните ().

Плазмен потенциал и квазинеутралност

Плазмата е много добър проводник и поради тази причина електрическите потенциали играят важна роля. Плазмен потенциал се нарича усреднената стойност на електрическия потенциал в дадена точка от обема на плазмата. В най-общия случай, ако в плазмата се внесе някакво тяло, потенциалът му ще бъде по-нисък от плазмения потенциал (поради възникването на т.нар. слой на Дебай); този потенциал се нарича плаващ потенциал. Поради добрата си електрическа проводимост плазмата се стреми да екранира всички електрически полета. В резултат на това се наблюдава явлението квазинеутралност, т.е. плътността на отрицателните заряди е приблизително равна на плътността на положителните заряди, ако се вземе достатъчно голям обем (), но в мащаба на дължината на Дебай може да има неравновесие на зарядите.

Hолемината на потенциалите и електрическите полета в плазмата може да се определи на базата на предположението, че е изпълнено условието на Болцман:
.

Оттук с диференциране може да се определи електрическото поле:
.

Възможно е да се получат и плазми, които не са квазинеутрални. Пример за неквазинеутрална плазма е сноп електрони (например електронният лъч в електронен микроскоп, съдържащ само отрицателни заряди). Плътността на неквазинеутралната плазма трябва да е много ниска, в противен случай тя бързо се разпада под действие на електростатичните сили.

В астрофизичните плазми Дебайовото екраниране пречи на електрическите полета пряко да влияят на плазмата от разстояние, в порядък по-голямо от дължината на Дебай. Въпреки това от наличието на заредени частици плазмата създава и се влияе от магнитни полета. Това предизвиква изключително сложно поведение, като плазмените двойни слоеве – обекти, в които зарядите се разделят на няколко десетки дължини на Дебай. Динамитаката на плазми, взаимодействащи с външни и собствени магнитни полета е предмет на науката магнитохидродинамика.

Често срещани плазми
Плазмата е най-разпространеното агрегатно състояние на материята във Вселената, както по маса, така и по обем, като според някои оценки над 99% от веществото във видимата Вселена е във вид на плазма. Като цяло видимата светлина от космоса идва от звездите, които са плазма с висока температура, при която излъчват във видимия спектър. В същото време повечето обикновена (барионна) материя във Вселената е разположена в междугалактическата среда, която също е плазма, но много по-гореща, поради което излъчва главно в рентгеновия спектър. Черните дупки също са образувани от акретиращо йонизирано вещество, т.е. плазма. В Слънчевата система междупланетното пространство е изпълнено с плазмата на слънчевия вятър, който се простира от Слънцето до Хелиопаузата.

През 1937 година Ханес Алфвен предполага, че плазмата е изобилна в космоса и може да пренася електрически токове, способни да създават галактически магнитни полета. След като получава Нобелова награда, той заявява, че тези токове могат да придават на космоса, включително на междузвездното и междугалактическото пространство, клетъчна структура. Днес тези хипотези са отхвърлени и се смята, че около 96% от общата енергийна плътност на Вселената е съставена не от плазма или друга форма на обикновената материя, а от съчетание на студена тъмна материя и тъмна енергия.

История на изследванията

Плазмата е идентифицирана за пръв път в тръба на Крукс и е описана през 1879 година по време на лекция на Британската асоциация за напредък на науката в Шефилд от Уилям Крукс, който я нарича "излъчващо вещество". Природата на веществото в тръбата на Крукс е установена от Джоузеф Джон Томсън, който обявява резултатите си в лекция в Кралския институт през 1897 година.

Наименованието "плазма" е въведено от Ървинг Лангмюр през 1928 година, вероятно защото светещите разряди приемат формата на тръбата на Крукс. Лангмюр описва наблюденията си така:

 Освен в близост до електродите, където има обвивки, съдържащи много малко електрони, йонизираният газ съдържа йони и електрони в приблизително равен брой, така че резултантният пространствен заряд е много малък. Ще използваме наименованието плазма, за да опишем тази област, съдържаща балансирани заряди от йони и електрони.

How to Connect MS Access to InfoPath
With Microsoft Office InfoPath, you can design a form that is connected to a Microsoft Office Access database. By using these two programs together, you get all of the data collection advantages of InfoPath along with the data storage advantages of Access.
InfoPath advantages include forms that can be filled out while users are offline, a rich set of controls that make it easy to design and fill out forms, and data validation rules that are automatically imported when the form is connected to the Access database.
When you connect an InfoPath form to an Access database, you can choose whether you want to set up the database as the form's main data source or secondary data source. If you want to edit and add records to the database by filling out fields in the InfoPath form, you should set up the database as the form's main data source.
To use an Access database as the primary data source for an InfoPath form, you must start with a new form. You cannot modify an existing form to add a connection to a primary data source. Use the following procedure to create a new InfoPath form based on the sample database in Access:
From the File menu under New, click Design a Form.
In the Data tab of the ribbon, click Data Connections and then push the Add button.
Select receive or submit data and then select Database as the data source (Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Office Access only), and then click Next. Remember that you can always use our SQL server hosting as well to keep all your data connected and stored in the cloud rather than in a local MS Access file.
Use the browser to find and Select Database.
In the Select Data Source dialog box, browse to a valid Access database and select it.
Then Select the Table that you would like to collect data via InfoPath
In the screenshot above, I have selected the Authors Table from my Books Database. By selecting the Authors table first, I have setup this table as the primary table for the data connection. I can continue to add other tables via this data connection method to MS Infopath. Additional tables create a one-to-many relationship. In Access, this relationship is defined by using a key field, which is a field that associates the records in one table with the records in another table.
When connecting your form to multiple tables in a database, InfoPath requires that the tables be connected by key fields. Also, the primary table in the data connection must have either a one-to-many or a one-to-one connection with any additional tables that you add.
By default, InfoPath connects to every field in a table. However, you might want to exclude a field, either because it uses a data type that InfoPath cannot connect to or because you do not want to work with a certain field's values in your form.
This entry was posted in Access 2010, Access 2013, Access 2016 and tagged infopath. Bookmark the permalink.

other way, write

This is a bad practice, it is better to write code that will shorten the loading time, for example to make processes work in parallel.
updating:
I saw you running on the "heroku".
From a peek at their documentation, if you have to go over the 30s request timeout, you'll need to use a background job:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/request-timeout

A: *

*Web requests on Heroku come with a 30-second limit. From their Request timeout article:

Web requests processed by Heroku are directed to your dynos via a number of Heroku routers. These requests are intended to be served by your application quickly. Best practice is to get the response time of your web application to be under 500ms [...] Occasionally a web request may hang or take an excessive amount of time to process by your application. When this happens the router will terminate the request if it takes longer than 30 seconds to complete.

Now this goes into more details and mentions an additional 55-second window: HTTP timeouts (in their article about Limits.)

*

*You may want to use a one-off dyno or "worker" instead:

Connections to one-off dynos will be closed after one hour of inactivity

Roswell 1947 UFO Incident – A Government Cover Up?
On September 8, 1994, Secretary of the Air Force Sheila E. Widnall announced that the USAF completed its research to locate records related to the alleged July 1947 UFO incident.
UFOlogists claim that an extraterrestrial spacecraft and its alien occupants were recovered in and that this fact was kept from the public.
New Mexico's Congressman Steven H. Schiff requested that the General Accounting Office (GAO) begin an audit in February 1994, to locate all records relating to the Roswell Incident and to ascertain if they were handled correctly.
The GAO audit was completed and the results were published by the Headquarters of the USAF in 1995, titled The Roswell Report: Fact vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert.
GAO Investigates Roswell UFO
The audit involved a number of government agencies primarily focusing on the Air Force. The USAF launched a search of offices, archives and records centers which might have helped explain the incident. A number of people who may have had knowledge of the event were interviewed.
Prior to the interviews, Secretary Widnall released those from previous security restrictions that could have hindered their statements. The Air Force didn't find or develop information that the incident was a UFO. It found no indication of a government cover-up.
Information obtained indicated that the materials recovered was consistent with a weather balloon used in a 1947 classified project. The Air Force maintains the balloon tale is true and added crash test dummies in 1997's official Roswell: Case Closed report, two weeks before the fiftieth anniversary of the event.
The public believed the weather balloon story in 1947, but since then, witnesses have told their stories, proving to many people that the weather balloon story was, most likely, a cover-up.
Roswell UFO Incident
Many people saw a mysterious aircraft plunge to the ground in July, 1947. Mac Brazel brought pieces of debris to Roswell Sheriff George Wilcox who called the Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Division to find out of one of their planes had crashed. They stored fifteen nuclear bombs, the planes equipped to fly them and pilots and bombers trained to release them.
Major Jesse Marcel and Sheridan Cavett, a Counter Intelligence officer, already assigned to the case, went to investigate the debris field.
Soon, trucks filled with wreckage and bodies took them to Hangar 84 where they would be flown to other AFBs, including Wright-Patterson, then, headquarters of Project Sign, the division of the USAF that investigated UFOs and predecessor of Project Blue Book. According to various sources, Project Sign's files haven't been declassified.
Roswell UFO Possible Cover Up
Evidence was confiscated. Orders were given to all involved not to talk about the incident. Brazel managed to record a radio interview, but Washington DC contacted the station's owner and told him that he would lose his FCC license if he broadcast it.
Three military officers escorted Brazel to the Roswell Daily Record. He changed his story, claiming to have found the debris in June. Brazel said that he had, previously, found two weather balloons, but what he found this time didn't resemble either of these.
He said that, if he found anything else, he wouldn't talk about it. He disappeared for several days and never talked about the incident again.
Roswell Mortician's Allegations
Glenn Dennis has said he was the undertaker that the 509th called for children's hermetically sealed caskets and instructions on how to preserve corpses for research. He also said that he went to the base to see if he could help. He claimed he saw a nurse he knew was told to leave and received death threats.
Robert Shirkey, assigned to the 509th, involved in the retrieval and the cover-up, doubts Dennis visited the base. Military secret operations called for the highest security.
Shirkey contends that people don't wander into a highly secured building without being stopped before they enter. The twenty-seven people who arrived with the convoy from the debris site wouldn't disappear and leave evidence unattended.
Roswell Still a Mystery
Witnesses involved were sure they saw the crash of a UFO and an alien crew. Many UFOlogists theorize that the craft probably bounced near Roswell, leaving debris, but regained altitude and finally crashed in Corona NM, approximately forty-five miles away.
It's been alleged that the US government has been secretive about the crash, covering up covert operations.
Roswell UFO Incident – Information Released Years After Event
United States Air Force UFO Project Blue Book
Witness to Roswell Flying Saucer Incident Tells His Story
In less than a decade after Roswell, the CIA officially started MK ULTRA, covert experiments to use LSD to create altered states of consciousness in order to induce "mind kontrol."
USAF Project Blue Book "investigated" UFO cases; however it's been suggested that there were efforts to debunk their sightings. The Kecksburg, Pennsylvania UFO incident has many similarities and is called the Roswell of the East.

Toward improving outcomes of ERCP: Endoscopist's experience: Does it make a difference?
M. L. Freeman
Medicine - Gastro, Hepatology, Nutrition Division
The most important lesson learned from this Italian study of ERCP complications is that the experience of the endoscopist is important in determining the outcome of ERCP. This is reflected not only in lower complication rates for experienced endoscopists, but in higher success rates as well. Higher technical success rates may be at least as important as avoidance of complications in determining outcome of ERCP. With failed attempts at therapeutic ERCP, complications are no less common, but extended hospital stay, need for repeat procedures, and additional costs are substantial. How much experience and training are required for an endoscopist to become effective at ERCP? A recent study by Jowell et al. showed that trainees required 180 to 200 supervised procedures to achieve even the modest success rate of 70% at deep bile duct cannulation. It is not known, however, how much ongoing experience is required to maintain proficiency. In the Italian study, centers performing less than 200 ERCP per year had less satisfactory results than higher volume centers, but the case volume of the individual endoscopist may be of ultimate importance. In our study, a reduction in rate of complications and failed bile duct access was observed for endoscopists performing more than 50 biliary sphincterotomies a year, probably representing at least 100 to 150 ERCPs annually. Only a minority of endoscopists in the United States are likely to achieve this volume: an older survey of practicing gastroenterologists in the United States showed that the median number of ERCPs performed per year was 30 procedures, and 25% did five or fewer ERCPs per year, a figure which is incompatible with satisfactorily high success rates and low complication rates. There is also substantial variation in performance between individual endoscopists. A recent survey in the United Kingdom showed surprisingly wide differences between endoscopists in success rates (from 76% to 95%) and serious complications (0% to 16%). This variation in practice and outcomes seems unacceptably high.

Cymodoceaceae je čeleď jednoděložných rostlin z řádu žabníkotvaré (Alismatales).
Je to jedna ze tří čeledí mořských rostlin, které jsou označovány souhrnným názvem mořské trávy. Jsou to ponořené, ve dně kořenící, dvoudomé byliny s čárkovitými nebo šídlovitými, dvouřadě uspořádanými listy. Některé druhy mají dřevnaté oddenky. Květy jsou velmi nenápadné, bezobalné, ukryté mezi listeny. Pyl se přenáší vodou. Rostliny se vegetativně rozrůstají a vytvářejí rozsáhlé porosty, "podmořské louky".
Čeleď zahrnuje 17 druhů v 5 rodech a je rozšířena při mořských pobřežích tropů a subtropů téměř celého světa. Druh Cymodocea nodosa se jako jediný evropský zástupce vyskytuje v celém Středomoří.

Popis
Zástupci čeledi Cymodoceaceae jsou vytrvalé mořské byliny s plazivými oddenky. Oddenek je buď bylinný a monopodiálně větvený (Cymodocea, Halodule, Syringodium), nebo dřevnatý a větvený sympodiálně (Amphibolis, Thalassodendron). Rostliny koření ve dně a rostou celé pod hladinou. Listy jsou střídavé, dvouřadě uspořádané, jednoduché, přisedlé, na bázi s listovou pochvou. Mezi bází listu a pochvou je ligula. Čepele listů jsou celokrajné, čárkovité až šídlovité, ploché nebo s okrouhlým průřezem. Žilnatina je souběžně trojžilná až vícežilná. V pokožce chybějí průduchy.

Rostliny jsou dvoudomé, s jednopohlavnými květy. Květy jsou malé, bezobalné, stopkaté až přisedlé, jednotlivé nebo ve vrcholíkovitých květenstvích (Syringodium), ukryté v listenech připomínajících listy. V samčích květech jsou 2 tyčinky. Gyneceum samičích květů je apokarpní, svrchní, složené ze 2 volných plodolistů. Každý plodolist obsahuje jediné vajíčko a na vrcholu vybíhá v krátkou nebo dlouhou (Halodule), jednoduchou nebo větvenou čnělkovou část. Plody jsou nepukavé, jednosemenné, s tvrdým perikarpem nebo s tvrdým endokarpem a dužnatým, laločnatým exokarpem (Amphibolis), případně se jedná o nepravý plod, jehož vnější vrstva je tvořena zdužnatělým listenem (Thalassodendron).
Interpretace plodů není jednoznačná a v různých zdrojích bývají označovány za oříšky, nažky či peckovice.

Rozšíření
Čeleď Cymodoceaceae zahrnuje 17 druhů v 5 rodech.
Zástupci čeledi jsou široce rozšířeni v tropických a subtropických mořích. Ve Středomoří a Austrálii některé druhy přesahují i do teplých oblastí mírného pásu. V Evropě roste pouze druh Cymodocea nodosa, který je rozšířen při pobřežích v celém Středomoří a roste i na Kanárských ostrovech.
Rody Halodule a Syringodium jsou rozšířeny v tropech Starého i Nového světa, rody Cymodocea a Thalassodendron se vyskytují pouze ve Starém světě. Rod Amphibolis je svým výskytem omezen na jižní a západní Austrálii a Tasmánii.

Ekologické interakce
Pyl je přenášen vodou (hydrogamie), a to buď na hladině nebo pod ní. Samičí květy jsou zcela ukryty mezi listeny, z nichž vyčnívají pouze dlouhé blizny. Pylová zrna mají podobu vláken a mají lepkavý, avšak vodoodpudivý povrch. Zajímavý způsob opylování byl popsán u rodu Halodule. Při odlivu, když je nízká hladina moře, se z prašníků uvolňují vlákna pylu, která se spolu sdružují do řídkých, rozměrných shluků, které plovou na hladině jako vory a svým vzhledem připomínají sněhové vločky. Samičí rostliny mají dlouze vláknité blizny, které rovněž vzplývají po hladině. Při kontaktu těchto útvarů pak dochází k opylení.
Podobný způsob opylování má i Amphibolis antarctica, u tohoto druhu se však z rostlin za odlivu synchronně oddělují celé samčí květy, které vyplouvají na hladinu a zde se z nich teprve uvolňuje vláknitý pyl. Samičí květy vyrůstají na dlouhých, poddajných výhonech a dostávají se tak rovněž snadno k hladině. Jiný mechanismus opylování je vyvinut u rodu Syringodium. Tyto rostliny mají květy uspořádané v dvouřadých, postupně rozkvétajících květenstvích, orientovaných kolmo k hladině. Na rozdíl od předchozích rodů není pyl nadnášen a volně plave ve vodě, kde se sdružuje do shluků či pásů.

Rostliny se rozrůstají vegetativně prostřednictvím výhonů a vytvářejí tak celé porosty ("podmořské louky").
Semena rostlin čeledi Cymodoceaceae jsou poměrně těžká, klesají ke dnu a nešíří se proto obvykle na velké vzdálenosti.
Semena středomořského druhu Cymodocea nodosa prodělávají dormantní stádium o délce 7 až 8 měsíců a klíčí až při teplotách vody nad 18° C. Naopak semena tropického druhu Cymodocea rotundata mohou klíčit kdykoliv v průběhu celého roku. Semena rodu Halodule mají dlouhou dormanci, trvající několik let. U rodů Amphibolis a Thalassodendron nemají plody dužnaté oplodí a semena klíčí přímo na mateřské rostlině bezprostředně po dozrání. Mladé rostliny se pak oddělují až po 7 až 12 měsících.
V kořenové oblasti rostlin bývají kolonie symbiotických bakterií, které se podílejí na příjmu živin a možná i na fixaci dusíku.

Obsahové látky
Všichni zástupci čeledi obsahují sulfonované fenolické sloučeniny. Má se za to, že obsah těchto látek souvisí s přizpůsobením mořskému prostředí.

Taxonomie
Čeleď Cymodoceaceae je morfologicky jednoznačně vymezená a rovněž jednotlivé rody této čeledi jsou dobře definované. Náleží do skupiny mořských čeledí řádu Alismatales, označovaných jako "mořské trávy". Patří mezi ně čeledi Cymodoceaceae, Zosteraceae a Posidoniaceae.
Ve starších taxonomických systémech byla čeleď Cymodoceaceae řazena zpravidla do řádu Najadales (Cronquist, Dahlgren) či samostatného řádu Cymodoceales (Tachtadžjan) v rámci podtřídy Alismatidae.

Prehistorie
Jedná se o poměrně starou čeleď. Fosilní pozůstatky rodu Cymodocea jsou známy z uloženin eocénního a miocénního stáří.
Z Holandska byl popsán druh †Thalassotaenia debeyi, pocházející z období křídy. Je považován za jednoho z předků dnešní skupiny "mořských trav". Z žijících rostlin tyto fosílie nejvíce připomínají rod Amphibolis
a Thalassodendron z čeledi Cymodoceaceae a také rod Posidonia z čeledi Posidoniaceae. Protože však některé znaky těmto žijícím rostlinám neodpovídají, je možné, že se jedná o samostatnou, dnes již vyhynulou linii mořských trav.

Q: After I used free() function along with Null pointer ... The program is still crashing Why is this program crashing? Help me have a clear understanding behind  the logic behind free(ptr); ptr = 0; too.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(){
    int *ptr;

    ptr = (int *) malloc(6 * sizeof(int));
    for(int i = 0; i<6; i++)
    {
        printf("Enter the value of %d element is :", i);
        scanf("%d", &ptr[i]);
         free(ptr);
         ptr = 0;
}
    for(int i = 0; i<6; i++)
    {
        printf("The value of %d element is : %d\n", i, ptr[i]);
    }
    return 0;
}

A: In the first iteration of the loop
for(int i = 0; i<6; i++)
{
    printf("Enter the value of %d element is :", i);
    scanf("%d", &ptr[i]);
     free(ptr);
     ptr = 0;
}

you freed the allocated memory
     free(ptr);

and set the pointer ptr equal to NULL.
     ptr = 0;

So in next iterations of the loop and within the following loop
for(int i = 0; i<6; i++)
{
    printf("The value of %d element is : %d\n", i, ptr[i]);
}

you are trying to access memory using the null pointer in statements
    scanf("%d", &ptr[i]);

and
    printf("The value of %d element is : %d\n", i, ptr[i]);

Move these statements
     free(ptr);
     ptr = 0;

form the for loop to the end of the program before the return statement.

A: free(ptr); is for freeing memory you don't need any longer. ptr = 0; is for inducing an access violation once some place accesses ptr despite it being freed and for a subsequent free() to not cause any errors.
In your case, what you do is way too early: you access it afterwards.
If you wanted to add it to a loop (for proving the assignment = 0 works as it should), you should add it to a new loop. This first loop isn't suitable, and the 2nd one isn't as well (because it outputs the data), but you should either add a 3rd loop or just do it manually:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main(){
    int *ptr;

    ptr = malloc(6 * sizeof(int)); // This. Don't cast to (int *), it can shadow errors.
    for(int i = 0; i<6; i++)
    {
        printf("Enter the value of %d element is :", i);
        scanf("%d", &ptr[i]);
        // Don't free() it yet! We still use it.
    }
    for(int i = 0; i<6; i++)
    {
        printf("The value of %d element is : %d\n", i, ptr[i]);
        // Don't free() it yet! We still use it in this loop.
    }

    // Now we can free it:
    free(ptr);
    // Set it to 0 for not accidentally writing into memory we aren't allowed any longer and for alloing further free() calls with this pointer's content.
    ptr = 0;

    // Accidentally calling free() again doesn't do any harm any longer, as free(NULL) is a NOP.
    free(ptr);
    ptr = 0; // redundant

    return 0;
}

Can multi-car insurance really save you money?
Alex Wright	Which? Money Research Group
We've all seen those TV ads about multi-car insurance – they claim to save you money on your car insurance if you have more than one car. But do they?
It's simple in theory – if you have two or more cars you can put them all on the same policy, avoiding the cost and complication of taking out single policies for each one. But it's not quite as straightforward as that.
Higher car insurance premiums
Some insurers will charge a higher premium for a multi-car policy than separate single car policies for each vehicle, depending on your circumstances.
And Which? members have told us that some multi-car policies won't allow you to transfer the no-claims bonus you have accrued over to another policy.
One member's daughter, who was on the same policy, lost three years of no-claims bonus she had built up after the member was involved in a 'not-at-fault' accident.
Another, who was eligible for a discount on his premium, had to call his insurer repeatedly to get them to apply it to his policy after it initially told him the offer was only available to new customers.
Differing terms and conditions
We've also found that there's a big difference between the policies available. If you add two or more cars to your policy, some insurers will allow you to keep your renewal dates. However, others require you to renew them all at the same time, meaning you have to pay your premium in a big lump sum.
Other issues we found include named drivers not being ineligible for a no-claims bonus on some policies or discovering they weren't fully covered after being involved in an accident.
I'm keen to hear about your experiences with multi-car insurance and whether you have fallen foul of some of the pitfalls. Do you think they offer good value compared to single car policies, or do the downsides outweigh the benefits? And what can insurers do to make the terms and conditions of their multi-car policies clearer?

How much does sustainability influence your clothes purchases?
Sustainability is my main consideration
I consider sustainability in most of my clothes purchases
I consider sustainability in the more expensive items I buy
I consider sustainability in the basic items I buy
Sustainability is not a consideration in my clothes purchases
Gabrielle Shepstone says:
We had a Multicar policy for three cars for several years with Admiral, and all retained our own NCBs. This was by far the cheapest policy I could find when insuring my son's first car, and he built up his own NCB as well. We never had to make a claim so I can't comment on Admiral in that respect, but administratively they were a nightmare: changes (such as my son going to and returning from uni each term) were never properly confirmed in writing (all three of us would get a letter saying there had been a change but not what it was!) so we were never sure that the data they held was correct (vital for insurance) and often at renewal we would find it wasn't, partly because all their telephone operators were off-shore and there were communication problems. In the end I couldn't stand it any longer and switched to DirectLine, also Multicar. They were fine, and dealt with the only claim we had very efficiently and fairly.

Why is it necessary to buy Legal Insurance when insuring 2 cars with the same Insurance company?? They charge about £30 per car.
AndyO says:
I queried this with my insurer, esure, and they said to me that the legal protection is per policy holder and not per car. As I was on a multi-car policy with two cars I took it off one of the car's policy. Yes, that's £31. How many other drivers are therefore being overcharged on this. Seems like a massive con-trick to me and they are ripping off customers with unnecessary charges,

I have a six wheel policy through Carol Nash. Car + motorcycle. Great value for money and includes breakdown cover Europe also.

FWIW been with Admiral on multi car for 6 years.
Not had the same problems with Admiral.
Paperwork on changes always been exact, and one copy only, by 1st class next day (or 2).
For example, taking daughter off and on policy when away at university (just noticed she is still down as full time school student, but I'll fix that in a moment.)
Calls always answered with Welsh accent.
Claims been handled well, but had to fight to maintain paint warranty on our Mini – which BMW claimed would be invalidated by third party paint shop, but Admiral paid in the end.
Maybe we have been lucky, so far.
Suspect we could do individual cars cheaper as both parents now over 50, and one sports car.
But Named Driver NCD appears not to be transferable, so suspect it acts as an anti-competitive lock-in.

As a family we have THREE cars insured through Aviva on seperate policies, and one car insured at this time through Admiral. Three are due for renewal, and individually for two of them I was given quotes of £758 & £264. Total cost of £1022.
I did the exact same quote using their multi-car system and was quoted £1201.01, but they would give me £36 discount!!!!
This cost's a whopping £132 EXTRA
According to their adverts 23% of customers are expected to receive 20% saving.
I have done this year on year and have never had any form of saving, and as can be seen it cost's a lot more.
As NONE of the family have ever had to make any claims, I just wonder who actually gets any discount?
I did the same quotes with Admiral and got individual prices of £550 & £758, but the multicar quote was £977.87 and £1450.53 an UNBELIEVABLE £1119.45 EXTRA.
I get sick of hearing these adverts on TV saying how much money you can save.
As we are an average family with no claims (so far touch wood), and years of no claims bonus, this whole scenario is a con! As NONE of the family have ever had to make any claims, I just wonder who actually gets any discount?
