Berkyova,S. 2009, Lower-Middle Devonian (upper Emsian-Eifelian, serotinus-kockelianus... Bulletin of Geosciences, 84, 667-686.
Lower-Middle Devonian conodonts (serotinus-kockelianus zones) from the Třebotov Limestone (Daleje-Třebotov Formation) and Choteč Limestone (Choteč Formation) were studied. The following sections in the Prague Basin were sampled in an attempt to refine the conodont biostratigraphy of this sequence: Barrandov road cut, Prastav quarry at Holyně, Jelínek mill quarry at Chýnice and Červený quarry near Suchomasty. Another aim was to collect new data from sections which have not been sampled before: Na Škrábku quarry at Choteč, U Němců section at Karlštejn and Na vyhlídce section at Hostím. The main focus was on clarifying ranges of individual conodont taxa and thus enabling more precise correlations to be made. Among the most important findings is the lower occurrence of Polygnathus costatus partitus Klapper, Ziegler & Mashkova (the defining species for the Lower-Middle Devonian boundary), recorded in its regional reference section (Prastav quarry) but 2.2 m below the previous boundary. The correlation between the onset of the Basal Choteč event, as well as the occurrence of Polygnathus sp. aff. Polygnathus trigonicus, with the base of the costatus Zone is supported by the results of this study.

This is one of 50 Harvesting Nutrition project case studies. Harvesting Nutrition was a contest held in 2012 and 2013 that showcased active projects working to improve the impact of agriculture and/or food security on nutrition outcomes. Co-sponsors were SecureNutrition, Save the Children UK, and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). Learn More.
The overall goal of Suaahara program is to improve and sustain the health and well-being of the Nepali people. Specific objective of the program is to improve the nutritional status of women and children less than two years of age. The program uniquely integrates nutrition, hygiene, agriculture, family planning, reproductive health and child health activities at household and community level in 20 rural districts with poor nutrition indicators. Suaahara focuses upon first 1000 days, directly addressing the vulnerable points of development which result in stunting. Suaahara will focus on improving health and nutrition behaviors at the household level through promotion of the ENA, particularly IYCF, and addressing other determinants of under-nutrition, such as availability of and access to food, quality of health care, child spacing, and socio-cultural factors including gender and marginalization. Suaahara will support the GoN to institute nutrition interventions and policies enabling achievement of goals in the National Nutrition Action Plan. Suaahara will assist the government to build capacity of health workers, as well as staff from the Departments of Agriculture, Local Governance, Education, and Water. This will create multi-sectoral collaboration and synergy to address the pervasive problem of under-nutrition.
The project will employ the USAID-developed ENA as the foundation of the technical approach. Suaahara will incorporate Essential Hygiene Actions (EHA) into the project's ENA framework, along with promotion of child spacing and family planning and activities to discourage smoking among women. All components will be integrated creating the ENA Plus (ENA+) package. A behavior change (BC) strategy using multiple approaches will be developed after conducting rapid formative research around barriers and facilitating factors for BC among the target population. BC approaches will range from interpersonal communication (such as counseling by health workers), to mass media (e.g. radio). Suaahara will inventory existing curricula and materials in Nepal, making revisions as needed for ENA+.
To improve access to nutritious food for a varied diet, Suaahara will implement HKI's HFP model in food insecure districts. This model promotes small-scale poultry production and home gardening to increase year-round HH-level availability of micronutrient-rich foods and animal foods. The on-going USAID-funded AAMA project has fully integrated HFP with ENA in two Far West districts. In other districts, Suaahara will introduce less-intensive efforts to increase local poultry production and raising micronutrient-rich vegetables in collaboration with the district agriculture staff. Suaahara will pilot a larger-scale poultry production as a social enterprise in some districts and will facilitate public-private partnerships to make fortified foods or supplements accessible.
The primary determinants of under-nutrition in Nepal include care dimensions (poor feeding and care-related behaviors), health dimensions (including hygiene and sanitation; lack of potable water, and a high prevalence of infections that reduce food absorption and utilization); and food dimensions (inadequate food availability, access, affordability, quality, and nutrient density). With the project interventions at household level, awareness among beneficiaries has significantly increased in terms of above mentioned dimensions. The highlighting factor of the program is involvement of caretakers and decision makers in community level trainings which has resulted in behavior change among beneficiaries. Earlier to project interventions, mothers didn't care much upon hand-washing before feeding their babies. Baby feces was not disposed properly. If baby fell sick, first option was to see the baby to traditional healers. Families laid emphasis upon staple food production with negligible vegetable production and consumption. Food security meant stomach full food with no knowledge upon nutritional requirement. Nutritious foods such as milk, eggs and animal sources were sold in local markets. The most striking factor of the program is the knowledge upon babies' mental development that takes place within 1000 days period.
Project intervention is slowly impacting change in health, care and food behaviors. Each of mothers wishes their babies to be healthy and smart. Organized beneficiaries now sit every month to discuss upon nutrition and share experiences. They proudly show homestead food gardens displaying nutrient dense vegetables and poultry coops. They now understand the importance of colors in food recipe such as orange fleshed, green, brown and white and practice food behaviors.
In the meantime, absence of strategy to addressing under nutrition among new 1000 days mothers is creating a sort of conflict in the community. However, the project envisions the regeneration strategy, it takes time for agriculture interventions to produce results and by then, 1000 days households/ beneficiaries cross the duration. It is too early to talk about impact but behavior change is being reflected among project beneficiaries which are an encouraging factor in itself.
In terms of food dimensions, improvements in agricultural productivity have not maintained pace with population growth, particularly among small landholders and female farmers, the latter constituting over 60% of the agricultural labor force. In rural areas, particularly in the more inaccessible hill and mountain regions, year-round HH food security is a critical obstacle to achieving optimum nutrition in young children and women. HHs are unable to produce a variety of adequate food or do not have resources to purchase high-nutrient foods from the local market. The most recent WFP surveillance data indicate that 10 out of 18 Suaahara districts surveyed were food insecure in 2009, including four of six mountain districts, two of six hill districts, and three of five Terai districts. IFPRI's 2008 Global Hunger Index Report categorized nine Suaahara hill districts as having a serious hunger problem, two hill, eight mountain, and five Terai districts as being alarming and one mountain district as extremely alarming. Fortified foods, which also can provide critical benefits to young children and women of reproductive age, are not yet available in remote areas where under-nutrition is greatest. The relationships between household (HH) food insecurity and under-nutrition are inconsistent and complicated by multiple determinants. A recent study in Kailali (Terai), found no significant association between HH food insecurity and stunting, underweight, or anemia among preschool children. Conversely, in Baitadi (hill), a significant association was found between HH food insecurity and stunting in children and anemia among mothers. However, this association was not seen with wasting, underweight, or anemia in children and BMI in mothers. This underscores the need to better understand, classify, and address the local determinants of under-nutrition that vary by such factors as geographic area, socio-economic groups, and by HH, as a critical step towards effective programming. In addition, the project will consider social and cultural dynamics of community and intra-HH food distribution and behaviors.
With project interventions catching up pace, mothers and children have increased access to locally produced nutrient dense vegetables and animal source foods. They now have knowledge of nutrition of locally available food materials as well.
Convergence of nutrition sensitive and specific interventions in district/VDC level planning: While Suaahara has facilitated good coordination among health and non-health sectors, nutrition has not been a priority for non-health sectors. Nutrition objectives have been diluted during absorption into maternal and child health, poverty reduction, and food security programming. As a result, continuous and creative advocacy, education and communication are required at the district and VDC-level to drive integration.
Beneficiary Reach: During year two, Suaahara relied heavily on the use of established community-level groups in order to quickly establish a broad reach with program activities. While this has been very important during the introductory phase of program implementation, group interactions may not be sufficient in order bring about the desired behavior change required to achieve Suaahara objectives. Suaahara has already initiated increased interpersonal communication activities through home visits by Field Supervisors. These types of visits are particularly important for disadvantaged households and those that do not attend group meetings. In addition, Suaahara will explore the use of peer educators in year three. Low levels of hand washing at critical times and disposal of child feces (from LQAS study findings): The initial results from the LQAS studies revealed low levels hand washing at critical times and disposal of child feces. More focus is needed on scaling up and improving the coverage of hygiene and sanitation promotion by integrating it more fully into other project activities. Suaahara will continue to monitor these key indicators through the annual LQAS studies.
Rolling out of PDQ and HTSP training: Following the approvals of the PDQ and HTSP training manuals, Suaahara rapidly initiated preparing master trainers (Government health workers) and arranging logistics for district-level trainings. However, the availability of the master trainers to conduct the trainings became an issue, resulting in progress for both of these activities being stalled. Suaahara is exploring alternative mechanisms, possibly through national NGOs, in order ensure trainer availability and rapidly roll out these activities.
Logistical challenges of chick distribution: Chicks logistics in the back yard poultry program has been a challenging task because it is a live commodity. A back up-contingency plan has been developed that includes rescheduling the distribution plan, additional production of chicks, counting mortality rate during brooding and transportation, brooding the chicks at district level (if necessary due to outbreaks of diseases), exploration and shifting parent stock hatcheries, outsourcing technical experts from regions/district for inspection during brooding/transportation, development of health certificates of flock from authentic source and exploration of potential vendor/supplier of chicks during emergency.
Monitoring of key HFP interventions: Intensive monitoring and supervision is needed for key HFP interventions like monitoring building chicken coops and fenced in areas around coops in each household, germination of seeds and growing status in each household garden. This type of monitoring is resource intensive, both in terms of financial cost and personnel time. Suaahara is considering using a participatory monitoring through 1,000 days mothers groups to make each chick and seed recipient household accountable for practicing improved HFP actions.

Home Man Higher Energy Christian Dior Eau de Toilette
Higher Energy Christian Dior Eau de Toilette
Higher Energy Christian Dior Eau de Toilette is a 2003 Citrus Gourmand New Freshness Cologne by Christian Dior for man. The perfumer artist behind this fragrance is Olivier Pescheux . Top notes are Grapefruit, Juniper. Middle notes are Nutmeg, Incense, Pear. Base notes are Vetiver, White musks.
Higher Energy: A modern and powerful flight of new freshness of citrus
Building on its success, the great perfume house proposed in 2003 a new version which is also gaining height to better take off: Higher Energy.
A fragrance like a new philosophy of life: Higher Energy
The strong concept of the Higher perfume line is precisely that there is no longer a concept! Or rather that simplicity and beauty do not need to be emphasized in an exaggerated way to exist … to sell too …
Thus, the first Higher campaign linked to the haute-couture collection, was based on timeless and elegant black and white images to better disseminate the ultramodern scented raw materials and always so rigorously chosen. While Higher Energy offers sparkling olfactory novelties, the advertising campaign has retained its refined charm.
Filmed in close-up, the young model RJ Rogenski poses with his shirt open to all winds, showing a close-up of his brand new feeling of freedom. No music, but on the contrary an aerial view on a cloudy sky which is enveloped in the power of large displacement engines. The strength of this man comes from Nature and his free spirit, that nothing nobody could stop him!
Clearly displayed, Higher Energy, like its predecessor, is displayed for Dior as "A young and urban fragrance for men open to new perspectives and horizons ".
Higher Energy or a natural ultra-vitamin cocktail
If the bottle of Higher Energy plays with transparencies to reveal a bright lemon-yellow juice, the frank and clean masculine lines of the bottle with its square shoulders remain. Inspired by the most innovative urban concepts, Higher Energy once again demonstrates its sensational thirst for modernity.
The beautiful citrus has lost none of the legendary pep's of its elder brother and does not hesitate to play on the freshness of citrus fruits to better seduce men eager for tonicity. The top notes are necessarily the "energy" of this spicy grapefruit scent, which does not prevent the notes of Guinevere berries from bringing their spicy and finely scented sweetness to the citrus. The essence of black pepper strengthens the heart of the fragrance accompanied by the strong sensuality of incense. However, Higher Energy retains the melting and sweet pear note of its original juice, which offers an original and gourmet touch to this powerful fragrant set. Finally, the Higher Energy man will offer a deep woody and wild trail thanks to vetiver, so dear to Dior, delicately coated with white musks.
Like a New Man, the Higher Energy man draws his strength from himself and what he wears: his perfume of course! Far from being an inconsistent fop, the man as seen by Dior with this ultra modern and ultra refined perfume draws his vital energy from the elements that surround him. Thus his freedom is never hindered and his strength constantly renewed.
Building on the success of "Higher", the Dior brand presented "Higher Energy" in 2003. Far from fashion and fragrance trends, Dior broke away from the dictates by presenting a refined "Higher" fragrance. Christian Dior affirms that Higher Energy is a "young and urban perfume for a man open to new perspectives and horizons"… Produced by Olivier Pescheux, the composition of " Higher Energy "is citrus with an aspect nevertheless ultra vitamin. Like a magic potion, "Higher Energy" leaves a positive energy pushing us to exceed our limits.
< h2> Olivier Pescheux offers a refined Dior composition with Higher Energy
Olivier Pescheux was born in Paris, so far from the capital of perfume. He wanted to become a perfumer at the age of 10 and oriented his studies towards a DEUG in chemistry. He then succeeded in integrating the prestigious school of perfumery of Versailles, ISIPCA. While working at Givaudan, Olivier Pescheux had the opportunity to create perfumes for many fashion houses, such as Dior, Montblanc, Yves Saint Laurent and Hugo Boss. In 2010, Olivier Pescheux won the International Perfume Prize (former François Coty Prize). Dior called on Olivier Pescheux to create "Higher" in 2001 and "Higher Energy" in 2003. He wanted a fresh and refined composition, going against the fashion of the year 2000.
Higher Energy, a flavored vitamin cocktail
Really energizing, "Higher Energy" subtly associates a vitamin accord with both woody and spicy notes. The result is a fragrance that sounds like a breath of fresh air, in an urban world. "Higher Energy" begins with notes of grapefruit combined with that of juniper berries. We find traces of juniper berries around 1500 BC. AD, because the berries were then used as medicine. Legend has it that you had to eat a juniper berry a day in order to ward off any illness. It is the steam distillation of the berries that produces the essential oil. Juniper berries give off woody, spicy and slightly peppery tones. The heart of "Higher Energy" combines black pepper with nutmeg and pear. The black pepper here is native to India, which means it is top quality. The essence of black pepper is obtained by steam distillation of water. In perfumery, black pepper offers peppery tones, but also dry, woody and fresh. The base is ultra virile and sensual, because it combines Haitian vetiver and white musks. The bottle is similar to its predecessor, namely sober and uncluttered.
After the success of "Higher" in 2001, the house of Dior presents "Higher Energy", a fragrance of a different kind. Both citrusy and powerful, the essence is considered a vitamin cocktail that allows us to keep a dazzling shape.

Schuff Steel Pacific Tops Out Steel on the UCSF Institute for Regeneration Medicine
Schuff Steel Pacific, a subsidiary of Schuff International Inc., reports that it has completed the majority of steel erection on the $123-million University of California San Francisco Institute for Regeneration Medicine located on the Parnassus Campus.
Architect Rafael Vi�oly designed the institute, Smith Group is the design-build team architect and DPR Construction, Inc. is the general contractor on the project.
The institute is being constructed on a steep slope with an incline. The site is extremely narrow and is wedged between a winding road and adjacent buildings. The 46,283-sq-ft facility is a series of four elevated connected building pods that resemble inverted pyramids with terraced grass roofs. Each of the four building pods step up 9 ft higher than the next as the facility climbs up the slope at a slight angle. When complete, the multi-level structure will be 65 ft wide by 600 ft long.
�There is nothing typical about this building,� says Steve Carroll, project manager for Schuff Steel Pacific. The main entrance to the institute is 90 ft above ground level and accessed by a free standing elevator outside of the facility. The building can also be accessed by a 130-ft long by 90-ft high steel pedestrian bridge currently under construction that connects the institute to the ninth floor of the adjacent Health Science Building. The structure is supported by HSS steel braces, beams and 20 steel columns that bear on concrete piers.
To ensure maximum earthquake protection, Forell/Elsesser Engineers, Inc., the structural engineers on the project, fitted the institute with 42 Friction Pendulum seismic isolators that are located between the foundation and the structure at every anchor of the building. Seismic isolators dramatically reduce impact from seismic ground motion. They dissipate earthquake energy and significantly reduce seismic distortions that would otherwise force the building out of its original shape. Friction Pendulum bearings will allow the structure to slide 26 in. in any horizontal direction, and 2 in. vertically to �filter� the earthquake�s movement and give the building a relatively gentle ride.
In addition to seismic isolators, Forell/Elsesser designed and collaborated with Schuff to fabricate and install a first-of-its-kind independent uplift restraint. Forell/Elsesser developed the uplift restraint to keep the building from lifting during an earthquake. The uplift restraints are positioned on the south side of the building where they will oppose the 20-ft cantilevers on the north side, which have no ground support. In the event of an earthquake once the building starts to lift, the uplift restraints will engage and hold the building down with up to 100 tons of uplift force. A prototype was tested at the University of California San Diego�s Caltrans Seismic Response Modification Devices test facility.
Schuff says it fabricated the eight uplift restraints within 1/1000th of an in. tolerance at its Gilbert, Arizona steel plant. Each uplift restraint is 6 ft square by 3 ft tall.
According to Mason Walters, S.E., principal at Forell/Elsesser Engineers, �We examined a number of different options to make this facility as earthquake resistant as possible. We developed the uplift restraint to augment the seismic isolators where the building juts out. During an earthquake, the uplift restraints are designed to move in the same direction as the Friction Pendulum seismic isolators until the building starts to lift at which point the uplift restraints act to hold the structure down, while continuing to allow free horizontal movement.�
To augment Forell/Elsesser�s technical drawings and further demonstrate how the uplift restraint would work, Walters actually built a model of the device in his garage.
Working closely with the university, DPR Construction, Forell/Elsesser and Schuff worked in a design-assist capacity to fabricate and plan steel erection.
According to Steve Marusich, an associate at Forell/Elsesser Engineers, �Design-build was the only way to cost effectively engineer, fabricate and erect this complex facility. It allowed the entire design and construction team the ability to arrive at creative solutions to construct the facility within budget while meeting the rigorous demands of the design and site location.� The Institute for Regeneration Medicine is scheduled for completion in mid-2010.

For Canadians, a night on the town is all about food! According to the just-released Top 8 After Eight survey, half of Canadian adults would choose a restaurant when planning a social night out with friends. But clearly Canadians love the night time social scene as well – nine per cent would choose a bar, eight per cent would pick a live music venue and four per cent would hit the dance floor.
The multi-faceted Top 8 After Eight research focused on Canada's nightlife – what we do and where we go after 8 pm. To I.D. the hottest venues and locales, researchers surveyed Canadians and contacted urban trendsetters – the ones who help set the scene for fun.
For Canada's young adults, a night on the town is more about music, dancing and bars. According to the omnibus survey undertaken as part of the Top 8 After Eight research, half of Canadian adults under 24 years old would pick a live music venue, dance club or bar when planning a social night out with friends. For those older than 25, more than half (55 per cent) would head to a restaurant, and just 16 per cent would select a live music venue, dance club or bar. Regardless of age, only one per cent would select a sport event, though 10 per cent would head to a theatre, and three per cent to a comedy club.
"This research was a blast! So what's the bottom line? It doesn't matter what city you are in, or who you are with – there is always something to do After Eight!" says Gary Batey, marketing manager, After Eight STRAWS. "And why not cap off a night of fun with the contemporary taste of After Eight STRAWS?"
The comprehensive research included an omnibus survey of 3,000 Canadians by Decima Research, supplemented by one-on-one interviews with the country's coolest movers and shakers. Interviewers contacted socialites, well-known radio and television hosts, arts and entertainment columnists, actors, writers and musicians. The research team also tapped into regional networks on popular social networking web sites and cruised up-to-the-minute city-specific blogs.

Q: Access client variable within server-tags in vbscript I have the following block of code that's im running in an asp-page:
 <script language="VBScript">
    sub ok_onclick()

        dim localVariable
        localVariable= "hello"

        <%
        call serversideFunction(localVariable)
        %>

    end sub

The following block
<% call ServerSideFunction(localVariable) %>

Throws the following error:

An unhandled exception ('Variable is undefined: 'localVariable'')
  occurred in dllhost.exe [24184]

I've noticed that i can't put my local variables within the servercode-tags.
So my question is, how do send my local variable's value down to the server?

A: This is Server-Side programming 101 which does sometimes catch people out but there are lots of good tutorials and articles out there that can help with understanding the fundamentals.

Image taken from MSDN - ASP Overview

Quote from MSDN - ASP Overview
IIS processes an ASP file in the following order when a request is received from a client:

*

*If an ISAPI filter is installed on the Web site, the ISAPI filters is processed first. This is true for all applications.

*If the ASP application contains a Global.asa file in the root directory, the Global.asa is processed. Global.asa files specify event scripts and declare objects that have session or application scope. They do not display content; instead they stores event information and objects used globally by the ASP application.

*In the requested ASP file, IIS separates the script blocks from the static HTML code blocks, reserving the static code in the response body.

*IIS processes the script blocks. The script blocks might include transaction processing, database access calls, or calls to COM components in which case COM+ handles some of the processing.

*After the ASP page script blocks are processed, their output is injected into the response body with the static HTML code.

*The response is sent to the client.

The problem boils down to step 6. All the server-side processing is done before the response is sent to the client so in the example provided;
'Client-Side procedure
Sub ok_onclick()
  dim localVariable
  localVariable= "hello"
  <%
  'Server-Side code already processed before response
  'is returned to the client.
  Call serversideFunction(localVariable)
  %>
End Sub

The serversideFunction() server-side function will have already executed before the client response is sent so will never know of the existence of localVariable.
In these situations you need to pass the localVariable data back to the Server using various tried and tested techniques (HTML form, AJAX request etc) that all boils down to communicating a HTTP GET or HTTP POST request that the Server can interpret and process.
Once you have sent the request the data can be picked up using the ASP Request Object and passed into a Server-side variable.
<%
Dim serverVariable
'Request came via a HTTP GET.
serverVariable = Request.QueryString("localVariable")
'Request came via a HTTP POST.
serverVariable = Request.Form("localVariable")
'Request came via either a HTTP GET or HTTP POST
'Using this has it's overheads.
serverVariable = Request("localVariable")
%>

Spencer Compton, 8th Earl of Northampton (16 August 1738 – 7 April 1796) was a British peer and Member of Parliament.

Northampton was the younger son of the Hon. Charles Compton, third son of George Compton, 4th Earl of Northampton and Mary Lucy. He was educated at Westminster School from 1746.

He was elected to the House of Commons for Northampton in 1761, a seat he held until 1763 when he succeeded his elder brother in the earldom and entered the House of Lords. He also served as a Groom of the Bedchamber to George III (1760–63), as Recorder of Northampton from 1763 to his death, and as Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire from 1771 to death.

Lord Northampton married Jane, daughter of Henry Lawton, in 1758. He died in April 1796, aged 57, and was succeeded in his titles by his son Charles, who was created Marquess of Northampton in 1812.

8 of The Greatest Rock Comeback Albums Of All Time
Glynn Williams
For Rock Bands and Musicians, a career as part of the challenging music industry is often a rocky road, laced with an abundance of obstacles which compromise a song-writers musical ability. If MTV and my obsessive record collection has informed me of anything, it's that nothing can makes or break a band more than a comeback album.
The comeback album is often a re-invention or return to roots which allows musicians to shake-up fans following a musical hiatus. Often, these comebacks can fall by the wayside and make just as much impact as a stone thrown into the pacific but in some cases the Rock Comeback is a momentous ritual which reaches out to rock fans, plucks them from their comfort bubble and smashes them with full-force into the back-end of nowhere.
It's a bitter-sweet, musical surprise and although a good comeback is few and far between – when an incredible comeback album finally lands, it will leave you enlightened.
Read below for '8 of the Greatest Rock Comeback Albums' which shocked rock fans and shut up critics. Feel free to comment below if you remember any Rock Comeback Albums which really made a statement…
Foo Fighters – Foo Fighters
When Kurt Cobain's apparent suicide resulted in the end of Nirvana, nobody knew what would be in store the remaining members of the Seattle three-piece. However, a year after Cobain's death; drummer, Dave Grohl released the debut, self-titled album 'Foo Fighters' with his new band.
Released two years after the final Nirvana studio album 'In Utero'. 'Foo Fighters' would be the first release in a momentous rock comeback, which would firmly establish Dave Grohl as the God of Rock and the frontman in one of the most successful bands of all time.
When AC/DC frontman, Bon Scott tragically died at the height of the bands success in February of 1980, it left the iconic hard rock musicians devastated and questioning their future as a band. With a huge international following and a little persuasion from family and friends, the band decided to audition for a new front man.
Stunned by the performance of Geordie, Brian Johnson, they recruited him a few months later and began writing their most iconic (comeback) album. Less than half a year after they said their final farewell to Bon Scott, the band released Back in Black on the 25th July, 1980.
With concerns about the new line-up and a change in style, the band were pleasantly surprised when the album topped the album charts and became one of the most critically acclaimed and best-selling albums of all time. Almost 40 years later, Back in Black remains a timeless example of AC/DC at their best.
U2 – All That You Can't Leave Behind
When Irish rockers, U2 released their 1997 album 'Pop', critics slammed it and questioned their ability to continue to write the anthems which had driven them to great heights. I mean 'Pop' featured songs entitled 'Discotechque' and 'The Playboy Mansion' – really guys?!
Then on the turn of the century, U2 made a notable comeback with an album which presented them in a way they had never been seen before. 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' (2000) was a re-invention of these rockers and a bold clap-back at anyone who had criticised their song-writing abilities.
Singles like 'It's a Beautiful Day' and 'Elevation' still take me back to the sunny summers of the millennium and put Bono, firmly back on his musical pedestal – for a while anyway.
Black Sabbath – 13
You cannot fault Black Sabbath and their stamina as one of the most hard-rocking bands of all time. When the band founded in 1968, nobody thought they'd still be rocking almost 50 years later.
After years of turbulent relationships, wild World tours, issues with drugs and alcoholism and plenty of line-up changes, the band were set for retirement. However, you can't hold down the greatest metal band of all time and in 2013, the band reunited to release '13' their first studio album with Ozzy since 'Forbidden' (1995).
The band chose to record with legendary hip-hop and rock producer Rick Rubin and were joined in the studio by Rage Against the Machine drummer, Brad Wilk. '13' went on to reach number one in the album chart, just one week after its initial release and gained phenomenal commercial success as their first Number One album since their infamous album, 'Paranoid' released 43 years prior.
This momentous Black Sabbath album has now sold more than 1 million copies Worldwide, a success that Ozzy stated was just 'another incredible milestone for Black Sabbath'.
American Idiot – Green Day
Albums like Kerplunk (1991), Dookie (1994) and Nimrod (1997) had Green Day pegged as one of the most influential bands in the Californian Punk scene. Their controversial lyrics and catchy melodies had them credited alongside bands like Rancid, Sublime and The Offspring who were all catalysts in the early-nineties, American punk movement.
By the time Green Day released their fifth studio album, Warning (2000), we thought we'd seen just about everything this band had to offer in terms of musical prowess. Four years later in 2004, Green Day shocked fans and slipped into the main-stream with their momentous rock comeback record 'American Idiot'.
American Idiot was completely different to anything we'd ever heard by Green Day previously. Their new bout of angst fuelled some dark anthems which collectively, provided fans with a concept album surrounding a deeply entertaining narrative.
American Idiot garnered a mixed reception from many, but its commercial success could not be disputed and the album later inspired a (not so, punk-rock) broad-way musical of the same name.
American heavy metal rock gods, Metallica have had an incredible career with International sell-out shows and best-selling albums, but when 'St. Anger' was released in 2003, many music critics felt that Metallica had begun to stray even further from their Metal heritage and they began to lose the loyalty of their dedicated fans.
Five years later in September of 2008, Metallica released their ninth studio album 'Death Magnetic'. 'Death Magnetic' was in every way a statement about the ancestry of Metallica. The band chose to work with the previously mentioned Rap & Rock producer, Rick Rubin, a first since the release of their album, 'Metallica' in 1991.
This album is packed with heavy riffs and fearless solos which marked Metallica's timely return to their heavy origins and thrashy roots.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Californication
The 1999 release of 'Californication' by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers was a comeback which illustrated both, the Chilli's triumphant musical return and the return of iconic guitarist, John Frusciante.
It was no secret that the Chillies have had a rocky journey across their lengthy career and tired relationships and addiction had paid a significant part in their break-down, physically and musically. Californication is in every way, a cleansing of the band and their musical outfit. It explores notions of death, mental illness, addiction, lust and globalisation as well a spectrum of political themes.
Californication has maintained continued popularity as one of the Red Hot Chilli Pepper's greatest albums and received a wealth of accolades – most notably, it was inducted eight years after its release into the 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' as one of 'The Definitive 200: Top 200 Albums of All-Time.'
Meat Loaf – Bat Out Of Hell II: Back into Hell
I think Meatloaf takes the biscuit in terms of time off on a 'musical hiatus'. His sixth studio album was released in 1993, a whopping 16 years after his debut solo album 'Bat out of Hell'. This comeback was an 'against the odds' collaboration between Meatloaf and Songwriter, Jim Steinman.
After a series of financial and legal battles which stunted the release of the long-awaited follow-up album, 'Bat Out Of Hell II: Back into Hell' was released in 1993 and gained instant commercial success.
The album's opening track 'I'd Do Anything for Love' won Meatloaf a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Performance and made Jim Steinman an internationally acclaimed song-writer and producer.

Power System Harmonics Second Edition By J Arrillaga and N R Watson Pdf The publication, co-authored by D.A. Bradley and P.S. Bodger and printed in 1985, has provided the foundation for many different classes and workshops on power quality problems. Additionally, it has been of substantial aid to electricity system designers. In the previous two decades other publications and millions of books have appeared in the specialized literature on the overall subject of harmonics. Wiley has likely been the primary contributor, together with three additional novels, Power System Harmonic Analysis and Power System Quality Assessment (both by J. Arrillaga and his coworkers ) and Power System Harmonics Computer Modelling and Evaluation (by E. Acha and M. Madrigal). These, however, have largely comprised stuff coming from academic study and also on computer simulation methods. In the past few decades there have been many requests for an upgrade of our first text, keeping the sensible approach to the topic.
Thus the range of this new variant isn't especially different from the first, specifically to offer an overall comprehension of power system harmonics creation, their impacts, observation, analysis and removal, but taking into consideration the principal developments (especially in power electronic equipment ) accepted from the energy industry in the previous two decades. It's impractical for many users to come up with their particular harmonic evaluation programs. Hence the research sections of this book provide fundamental comprehension of the techniques included with harmonic evaluation and rely upon existing accessible applications, with particular emphasis on generally accessible programs like EMTP and MATLAB. The sole exception is an innovative and complex frequency-domain application developed by the writers, known as The Harmonic DomainName, which is supplied in CD-ROM type for demonstration purposes.


Awesome to find this forum - what a cool place!
My name's Alex Karasulas and I live in Auckland New Zealand. I've got two daughters and an amazing partner and a huge desire to see the world recognise its potential as a friendly, healthy, safe place to live and express love. Like anyone who's read enough internet articles on the matter I'm feeling a little desperate to see the human population working together to make our activities good for the environment, good for animals and good for ourselves. But I'm also incredibly optimistic about this happening - there's tons of evidence that we're heading in the right direction.
The main topic on the e-newspaper is Animal Welfare - that's the one I'm building a team of researchers and writers for at the moment.
Anyway, I look forward to awesome discussions with everyone here - and envisioning a future where all creatures and mother earth are treated with the respect they deserve!
My older son visited friends in New Zealand and dearly loved the place, but I have not had the pleasure myself.
i am also new here !!!
A very warm welcome to the forum, dear Alex.
Dear, I really appreciate your last sentence: "...envisioning a future where all creatures and mother earth are treated with the respect they deserve!"
I'm glad to be one who can have some discussions about this topic with you.

How To Reduce Dust In House: HEPA Air Purifier To The Rescue?
Filed under: air purifiers
Are you struggling to stay on top of the dust in your house? You clean up, turn around, and yet more dust has settled on your surfaces. It's frustrating to say the least. If that's something you're tired of dealing with, then you can look for ways to reduce the overall dust in your home. Can an air purifier help?
What's In Dust?
The first thing you need to know when dealing with dust is, what actually is it? You may think of it as mostly being dead skin cells, but it's actually a lot more than that. It can be a whole mix of things, and you'll see that it can be different from household to household.
For example, you'll commonly find pet dander and hair in dust, if you have pets in the house. You'll also find that a lot of the particles come from outside. That includes things like pollens, mold spores, organic debris, and some more alarming things like arsenic, lead, and pesticides.
As such, you're going to want to keep that dust out of your home as much as possible.
Dust And Your Health
As you can imagine, dust can have a serious impact on your health. The biggest impact it will have is on those with allergies. These are mostly those with pollen and mold allergies, as the spores can easily be kicked up into the air where they can be breathed in.
Those allergies can lead to all kinds of symptoms. On the less dangerous end of the spectrum, you'll see that you could be dealing with watering eyes, runny noses, and so on.
For those with more serious allergies, they could lead to breathing problems and worse. If someone in your home has allergies, then you'll want to find a good way to handle dust.
Can an Air Purifier Help With Dust?
Here's the big question. Can an air purifier reduce the amount of dust in your home? They can, if you're getting the right kind of purifier.
You'll want a filter air purifier, that pulls the air in through a filter, where it can catch any impurities. The grade of the filter is important too. The lowest grade filters will be able to catch clumps of dust and dirt, but the better ones will get smaller particles. That's why you'll want a HEPA grade filter.
These filters use a fine enough mesh that even the smallest particles, such as tobacco smoke and pollen, are caught in it. When this happens, you'll be able to see a noticeable improvement in the air around you. There are lots of benefits to a HEPA grade air filter, as well as reducing dust in the air. You'll also see less allergens, as well as other health benefits.
To get the most out of it, you'll need to ensure that the filter is cleaned and changed regularly. By doing that, you ensure that the filter isn't clogged and contributing to the dust in the air.
How To Keep Dust Out Of Your Home
An air purifier is an excellent way to keep dust out of your home, but it won't be the only way you can prevent it from causing health problems. Here are some other tactics to use as well, to keep dust to a minimum.
Keep the dust outside: As most dust comes in from outdoors, you'll want to keep it outdoors as much as possible. Keep your windows and doors shut as much as you can, and make sure no one is wearing their shoes into your house. As well as this, get a good doormat so people can wipe their feet before they come into the house.
Change your sheets: Your bedsheets collect a lot of dead skin over night, and that's going to contribute to dust over time in your home. Keep it down by washing those bedsheets once a week. You'll want to wash pillows, comforters and mattress pads at least once a month, too.
Get a good vacuum: You'll have your air purifier with the HEPA filter, but don't forget about the vacuuming too. You need a good quality vacuum to pick up any dust and first that settles on your floors. By using a HEPA filter, you'll ensure that anything you vacuum up stays in the vacuum, until you empty it.
Declutter your home: It's a simple tip, as the less stuff you have, the less places dust has to settle on. That doesn't mean that you have to get rid of everything you own, but you'll want to reduce your belongings in order to reduce the dust. Plus, it'll make cleaning a lot easier.
Clean regularly: Speaking of cleaning, you'll want to clean surfaces on a regular basis. Again, make sure you're going over all your surfaces weekly, and as soon as you've dusted them off wash the cloths you use to ensure dust doesn't get back into the atmosphere.
Think about where you groom your pets: As pet hair and dander contributes to dust, you'll want to think about where you groom them. For example, if you can groom them outside, then all that fur should stay outdoors, too. If you can't do that, grooming them in an easy to clean space like your bathroom will work, too.
Line tall surfaces: It's hard to reach tall surfaces, such as the tops of cabinets and tall bookshelves. As such, don't try to dust these. Instead, line them with newspaper. That way, you can easily take the paper off and throw it out, along with any dust that's settled there.
There are so many ways dust can get into your home and cause all kinds of problems. You don't want to be dealing with allergic reactions, or simply having to clean all the time.
Instead, invest in an air purifier and use these tips to ensure that you're keeping as much dust out of your home as possible.
