Q: Sometimes what I read on the site does not agree with other sites, or what other collectors tell me, or what I read in books. What should I believe?
A: It is often difficult to locate primary sources for determining how vintage pens were originally made and marketed. At the same time, few collectors take the time to study old catalogs and advertisements for themselves, and fewer still have handled enough pens to be able to fill in the many gaps in the documentary record. As a result, a large body of pen lore has arisen, most of which derives its authority simply by having been repeated over and over without ever being checked or questioned. This situation was confusing enough when the main reference sources were books, most of which largely repeated the same old material; with the rise of the Internet, the rate of confusion has accelerated sharply, as new collectors turn first to online forums dominated by collectors only a little more experienced than they.
So how do we know any better? Formal training in historical research helps: it breeds a healthy skepticism about hearsay, and a drive to trace facts back to their sources. We've spent countless hours poring over original records relating to pens and penmaking. Interpretative skills and book learning would count for little, though, without the experience of handling literally tens of thousands of pens over a period of years -- and, crucially, pens fresh to the market, straight out of estates and old accumulations. Such experience is now becoming increasingly difficult to come by, as the number of fresh finds diminishes and the number of "improved" pieces in circulation grows.

The European Commission has awarded funding to TeKshift GmbH for collaborative R&D work within a consortium formed by higher education institutes and businesses. This new FP7 research grant totals EUR 2.2 million to support the development of new rare-earth-material free reluctance motors technology, applied to automotive industry. The project known as ARMEVA (Advanced Reluctance Motors for Electric Vehicle Applications) has started in November 2013 and is expected to run thirty months.
ARMEVA represents the first long-term project for which TeKshift has received funding in the European Commission’s highly-competitive selection process. With this funding, the European Commission provides a unique opportunity for TeKshift to leverage its expertise and development processes in a world-class environment.
To enable a large scale adoption of EVs, a new generation of electric drive systems is needed to reduce dependency on rare earth materials, while improving energy efficiency, power density, safe operation and reducing manufacturing/recycling costs. ARMEVA will develop a new rare-earth-material free generation of advanced reluctance motors.
The goal of ARMEVA is to achieve similar power density and NVH-performance (Noise, vibration, and harshness) at lower costs when compared to permanent magnet motors in real electric vehicle applications. The focus will be on Switched Reluctance Motors, Variable Reluctance Synchronous Motors and DC exited flux-switching motors which each have been the topic of previous research by the consortium, and offer promising potential. The scientific objectives of the ARMEVA project are:(i) development of multiphysics simulation models for advanced reluctance motors; (ii) comparative assessment to select optimal motor topology for future EV's; (iii) development of an integrated electric drive system based on advanced reluctance motor technology and customized power electronics.

Two Georgia Democrats want to ban cell phone use in cars and have introduced a bill they hope will lead to safer roads.
The proposed legislation, which would improve on a law passed last year, allows motorists only hands-free use of cell phones. Georgia drivers currently face fines of up to $150 if they are caught using their cell phones to text, read or surf the web, even if they are stopped at a red light. For teens with provisional licenses, the laws are even stricter, with fines of $150 if they are caught using cell phones. The bill, which is currently with a telecommunications committee for consideration, has drawn some opposition from groups that say it doesn't go far enough to protect the public from the hazards posed by distracted driving.
Nationwide, the popularity of cell phones has led to an increase in fatalities involving distracted driving. According to the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, more than 5,400 people were killed, and approximately 440,000 were injured in 2009 in crashes involving drivers using cell phones.
Designed to make Georgia's roads safer, the cell phone law has some issues, particularly for police, who have to determine if a person is actually using a phone when driving. When stopped, most drivers won't admit using their phones. And police can't subpoena phone records without probable cause, which usually comes into play during investigations involving fatal accidents. Still, with a firm law on the books, police could stop anyone spotted using a cell phone while driving.
Experts recommend that anyone-even a pedestrian- in an auto accident caused by a distracted driver consult with an experienced attorney, particularly one familiar with state laws and liability.

Place a security freeze on your credit reports. Contact each of the credit bureaus individually and request a security freeze. A freeze will block an institution or lender from accessing a report unless the pre-set PIN is provided to thaw the report. Each of the bureaus will give or allow you to create a PIN. Be sure you do not lose or forget this PIN and store it in a safe place with other important documents.
Place a fraud alert on Credit Reports. Fraud alerts require potential creditors to contact the consumer and obtain permission to open new account or lines of credit. This can be requested every 90 days. In the event there is a specific incident, with documentation, the fraud alert may be allowed to be extended up to seven years.
Check your credit reports annually. Consumers are entitiled by law to a free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus once per year. The credit union recommends to rotate between the three by pulling one bureau report every 4 months.
Add a security phrase on your Credit Union account. Let us know a word or phrase you would like us to verify when requesting changes or transactions by phone to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and information.
Continually monitor your monthly financial account, credit card and other loan statements and immediately address any concerns regarding unknown or suspicious transactions.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the credit union and we will be glad to help in any way we can!

OK I’m back. Spring has STILL to show up in Paris, but I can’t hibernate forever; there’s too much opinion-spouting to do! Let’s get right to it, shall we? France has just replaced charismatic President Nicolas Sarkozy by an insipid mass of vanilla pudding and far be it from me to not point and laugh.
So here’s the thing. I realize that a lot of people out there love to hate Sarkozy; bizarrely, the fact that he has a taste for luxury goods—even French ones—seems to stand out more in the minds of many than how he dealt with Libya or managed to keep France afloat during four years of economic upheaval. Who cares if he single-handedly reshaped the presidency? Who cares if he brought gutsy and much-needed structural reforms? The big jerk dared celebrate his 2007 election at a swanky restaurant! Quelle indécence!
I personally LIKE(D) Sarkozy; his dynamism, while not always well-directed, was a breath of fresh air after 12 years of Chiracian inertia. I loved how he challenged the whiners instead of caving into them; I appreciated his iconoclasm, his courage, his leadership, his willingness to take an ax to the bloated French state. My only wish is that he had hewed wider and faster, though, because with the election of socialist François Hollande, France is nearly certain to do an about-face and march straight into the mire Sarkozy had so deftly avoided.
François Hollande has no experience in high office. No one—not even his supporters—seems capable of explaining exactly why he would make a good president. I’m not sure even he knows why he would make a good president. His campaign platform seems to rest entirely on pointing out that he isn’t Sarkozy. All we’ve heard from him for months on end are self-aggrandizing comparisons with former President François Mitterrand accompanied by platitude upon platitude such as, “What’s at stake in this campaign goes beyond all of us on the Left. What’s at stake ... is France itself” or “I’ll let you in on a secret ... I like people, while others are fascinated by money.” This kind of crapola would be laughable if it didn’t draw emphatic nods from so many.
Whereas Sarkozy brought with him a feistiness and pragmatism sorely lacking from the French presidency, Hollande brings precisely the opposite. The man is in way over his head; he’s like a lost deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming semi. His proponents may cheer him for being “normal” or “calm,” but these are daft, profoundly irritating attempts to sidestep the glaringly obvious fact that the guy belongs behind a desk at the post office, not at the helm of a G8 nation. It matters not whether a president is “normal” (name me ONE “normal” dude who has wound up as president—and no citing Kevin Kline); it matters whether he is capable of successfully leading a world power. And Hollande most definitely is not.
The Traveler has come! Choose and perish!
I don’t know about you, but in the middle of a worldwide economic crisis, when it really does matter who the president is, I know damn well who I want in charge of the country in which I live … and it sure ain’t a French spin on the Stay Puft marshmallow man.
I'll miss Sarkozy. His disappearance from the French political scene will be a tremendous loss, and I’m tempted to say “too bad for France” except that I live here myself and am therefore personally affected by the embarrassing results of an election I unfortunately didn’t have the legal right to participate in. I’m definitely not looking forward to five years of Hollande’s “assuaging” gibberish, especially while he “calmly” transforms France into the new Greece. But, I will not lose all faith in the ultimate utility of universal suffrage, for the United States’ own elections are on the horizon and I cannot wait to get out there and reelect my Obama!
Now THAT is a world leader!

Earlier Tuesday, a federal court in Pennsylvania declared aspects of President Obama’s executive actions on immigration policy unconstitutional.
According to the opinion by Judge Arthur Schwab, the president’s policy goes “beyond prosecutorial discretion” in that it provides a relatively rigid framework for considering applications for deferred action, thus obviating any meaningful case-by-case determination as prosecutorial discretion requires, and provides substantive rights to applicable individuals. As a consequence, Schwab concluded, the action exceeds the scope of executive authority.
Read the rest of Jonathan Adler’s article for the background to the case. It seems the judge didn’t have to consider the constitutional question to reach a decision in the case, but…. he went there. If this goes all the way to the Supreme Court (and I don’t see why it wouldn’t, but I’m not a lawyer), I wouldn’t bet on Obama getting an easy win; his administration has been slapped down by the Court on 9-0 votes several times — in other words, including his liberal appointees Kagan and Sotomayor.
Between this, the lawsuit of brought by 17 (now 24) states against the action, and the pending crucial Obamacare case, the Supreme Court’s end-of-term announcements of its decisions should be very interesting. Be sure to stock up on extra popcorn.
Tax reform along the lines of some sort of flat tax or a national sales tax, along with reduction in the size of government, would go a long way towards generating prosperity here again. It would also make statist heads explode — a win-win situation!
With a simple and fair tax system, we could get rid of high tax rates that penalize productive behavior. We could eliminate the double taxation that discourages saving and investment. And we could wipe out the rat’s nest of deductions, credits, exemptions, preferences, exclusions, and other loopholes that bribe people into making economically unwise decisions.
When pushing for tax reform, I normally cite the flat tax, but there are many roads that lead to Rome. I’ve also pointed out that other tax reform plans have similar attributes. Here’s what I wrote, for instance, when comparing the flat tax and national sales tax.

LAS VEGAS — At the Adobe Summit here this week, the message is to make customer experience the priority.
But the concept is more challenging than it may seem in a world where technology has disrupted old ways of connecting and created new pathways that marketers and advertisers are only starting to explore.
Because of realities like that San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe and its partners are introducing a host of new products and services to address them. Take Deloitte Digital, which yesterday announced the launch of MarketMix for Media, an over-the-top (OTT) audience engagement platform powered by Adobe Primetime OTT.
OTT refers to delivery of audio, video and other media over the Internet without the involvement of a multiple-system operator in the control or distribution of the content.
Danny Ledger, principal and US leader for digital offerings at Deloitte Consulting, described the platform as a way for media and entertainment (M&E) companies to engage and understand their the video habits of their customers on platforms beyond traditional TV. It's a way to help them acquire, engage and retain their digital audience in order to help them succeed in today's digital ecosystem, he said.
Deloitte's platform is designed to help M&E companies launch, monetize, and manage direct-to-consumer (DTC) content offerings.
In addition to Adobe Primetime’s multi-screen OTT platform, it integrates with marketing and media solutions of the Adobe Marketing Cloud, as well as Foster City, Calif.-based Zuora’s subscription billing engine, and San Francisco-based Salesforce’s customer relationship management platform.
The direct-to-consumer model targets a key challenge for advertisers and marketers, specifically staying top of mind with their audiences. As Deloitte explains, businesses need to understand and react where their customers spends their time and how their content consumption preferences are changing.
Advertisers are especially struggling to reconnect with cord cutters — people who have abandoned cable and broadcast television in favor of online streaming services.
Since Internet ad revenues now surpass those of broadcast TV, the goal is to get advertisements in front of OTT content viewers who have shifted to the screens of mobile devices.
“We’re tying the whole direct-to-consumer experience really towards video consumption … We see a big white space of opportunity where there’s going to be a dynamic segment of population that has high broadband in-home Internet, but does not want to pay for bundle packages and subscribe to 300 channels,” Ledger told CMSWire.
According to Deloitte's most recent Digital Democracy Survey, only 45 percent of the population regularly consumes live TV content – seismic shift from traditional, linear TV to direct-to-consumer models.
The numbers drop even further among those ages 14 to 25: only 28 percent of that population watches live TV, and nearly 60 percent of those ages 14 to 32 are spending their TV viewing times on non-TV devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops/desktops.
And the trend is expected to accelerate.
By 2018, Deloitte estimates 94 million US households will subscribe to a streaming service. That's 70 percent of all households. And about 21 million of households — 17 percent of the population — will not use a linear pay TV subscription.
“In today’s OTT direct-to-consumer world, media companies have to act more like retailers,” Ledger said.
MarketMix offers digital marketing capabilities, including personalization with A/B and multivariate testing. It also provides multi-screen video streaming with ad-insertion, flexible billing, subscription and payment services, and customer support and case management.
MarketMix soft-launched in January at CES but officially launched at Adobe Summit, which runs here through tomorrow.

Evidence photo of Tyler Blume after he was shot.
Michelle Ortega said Richard Murillo showed her the gun when he met her down by the front gate of her property on the San Pasqual Indian Reservation in Valley Center. It was after 11 o’clock at night. She said she had just returned from a shopping trip to Escondido.
Michelle said she wasn’t alarmed about the gun. Murillo was a relative — the half brother of her niece. Murillo said his car had broken down a couple miles away, on Canal Road, and he hoped Michelle could give him a ride to his car. But Michelle’s husband Angelo Ortega didn’t like her to be alone with Murillo, so she told him to come up to her house and they would ask her husband to give Murillo a ride.
Michelle, wife of shooting victim Angelo Ortega.
It was before midnight that Friday night in April 2010 when both men got into Ortega’s car. They went down the long asphalt drive in the darkness. Soon they came near the double-wide trailer where Murillo’s half-sister, her boyfriend Eddie Carlon, and their three-year-old lived. “I let them live there for free,” Ortega said.
Recently Carlon had been having little get-togethers; each time he invited two or three friends over. Ortega had seen them standing around a firepit next to the trailer, drinking and socializing. But after Carlon started having people over, Ortega said he noticed some of his things missing.
“I put gas in the truck, then no gasoline,” Ortega said. And a ladder and some tools disappeared. Ortega told Carlon that he wanted to be informed before strangers came onto the property.
Angelo Ortega didn’t like the strangers on the property.
“I was mad after he had said ‘Don’t worry about it,’” Ortega explained. He shoved the car into reverse and drove home backward.
Ortega said he held Murillo on the ground for maybe 20 seconds before he let him up. Murillo, 5 feet 10 inches tall and 165 pounds, ran away in the direction of Carlon’s trailer.
Blume and Ortega went down the hill together to the trailer. There was no one outside when they got there, but they saw Carlon through the windows. “I yelled for him,” Ortega said.
Carlon came out of the trailer first and Murillo followed a little behind. Murillo was holding one hand behind his back, according to Blume and Ortega. Ortega claimed that he did not make any kind of threat or start any violence. “I told Murillo, ‘Your sister lives here. I don’t have a problem with you coming around,” Ortega claimed later.
“That was, like, my cue to run!” Blume remembered. “I was just looking for the best direction to run in.” Blume believed that Murillo aimed toward Ortega first.
Ortega said he never saw the gun, “just blinding light” from the muzzle flash. Ortega stood for a moment in disbelief. “I was like a deer in the headlights, you might say.” Then Ortega turned to run. “I took about one step and fell to the ground.” He had run into the trailer hitch that protruded from one end of the double-wide.
Investigators later found a baseball hat lying in the dirt, near an axe handle, at the same end of the double-wide trailer. “That’s my hat,” confirmed Ortega. But he denied that he brought the axe handle with him.
Angelo and Tyler lived in the home uphill from the trailer.
As Blume was running the 50 yards back up the hill toward the house the nerves in one arm “went crazy.” When he got to the house he noticed he was bleeding from his abdomen as well. A surgeon later confirmed that the in-and-out wounds to Blume’s arm and the bullet fragments found in his abdomen could have been caused by a single shot passing through the left arm and then into his left torso.
Blume denied being armed with an axe handle or anything else.
It was sheriff’s detective Duane Dibene’s opinion that the axe handle lying in the dirt was not part of the confrontation that night. “I originally thought that could be a weapon.” But when he saw that the handle left an impression in the soil and there was dirt stuck to the handle, he decided the wooden handle had been there awhile.
Dibene said investigators collected eight shell casings at the scene, all .40 caliber Smith & Wesson.
The shooting happened just before midnight. Murillo, left the scene before police arrived. He was a fugitive for four months before he was arrested on a warrant.

The defense portrayed Ortega as a hot-tempered bully and called in former coworkers of Ortega’s who testified to the point.
After a one-week trial, the jury deliberated more than two days but couldn’t come to unanimous agreement on any charges. A mistrial was declared on November 21.
Hauf intends to pursue two counts of attempted murder. A new trial date has been set for March in San Diego’s North County Superior Courthouse. Murillo, as he has for more than three years, remains in custody in lieu of $1 million bail.

Richard Murillo, 33, pleaded guilty to two felonies on January 7, 2014. In the plea deal, Murillo admitted that he “unlawfully committed an assault with a semi-automatic weapon against Tyler Blume” and “unlawfully committed an assault with a dangerous weapon against Angelo Ortega.” In exchange for the plea, two charges of attempted murder were dropped. Murillo expects to be sentenced to 10 years prison on March 4, in San Diego’s North County Superior Courthouse.

Steve Burrows CBE has been a chartered structural engineer since 1986. He is currently USA Director of Buildings for WSP, the global engineering consultancy, having previously held senior leadership positions at Arup and AECOM. During his career he has worked on great projects like the “Birds Nest” stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Currently he is developing a world class indoor cricket stadium in Canada.
Steve also regularly appears on TV and radio shows about engineering. He presented “Engineering the Impossible” on the Science Channel and currently has a six part series, “Time Scanners”, on the National Geographic Channel, which looks at historic engineering projects like the Pyramids, the Coliseum and Machu Picchu.
Why did you choose engineering as a career?
I think I have been an engineer all my life, since playing with Lego as a child. I think we are all engineers deep down: everyone loves making things - whether its cooking, gardening or software writing, engineering is everything and everything is engineering.
Why the fascination with the media?
My TV shows, from “Engineering the Impossible” to “Time Scanners”, are informative but also aimed at showing engineering can be fun. I know that people have seen the shows and then decided to follow my career path, which is great, as I know it will provide them with a wonderfully satisfying life.
What can we learn from the ancients?
The brain of the ancient engineer wasn’t so different from ours. However, they did manage to do more with less, and that’s what sustainability is ultimately about. I believe the ancients can show us how to deliver solutions which are more in harmony with the planet. Today, when designing a large scale project, it’s very easy to source materials from all over the world - but doing so massively increases the carbon footprint of a project, due to the transport involved and other factors like energy intensive manufacturing.
Today’s engineers must always try to remember: Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should. It’s a hard lesson to learn. It’s not easy to build with local materials which are extracted, processed and assembled locally - but the ancients did it and their solutions lasted a long time.
For me, that process of figuring out how to work with what we have is one of the joys of engineering: taking the limitations of a project and producing a synergy that seems simple in hindsight but is actually very smart. That’s what we can learn from the ancients - and unless we study history we will repeat its mistakes. We have so much to re-learn.
This is especially true as the scale of need is much greater now. Take something like rising sea levels: imagine the decisions we will have to make over the next century as coastal cities grow - it’s an immense challenge, yet we also have to feed, house and water a growing urban population and perhaps have to decide what we keep and what we give back to nature.
This challenge of sustainability will demand a lot of us, and force us to become even more inventive as we are constantly asked to do more with less. My own target is to try to build a building twice as fast for half the cost, using less material and labour - and leave a structure that requires less maintenance through its life. Set ambitious goals and you will move the ball down the field, accept the status quo and you might just be average.
The need for better engineering solutions is increasing exponentially and engineers are front and centre as solution providers. I believe this demand will fire our ingenuity, and makes this a great time in history to be an engineer.
Engineers sometimes bemoan a lack of public recognition, but I feel that recognition is not given away, it is earned. Many people in general society probably don’t understand what a structural engineer is, but whose fault is that? It’s ours! We have to tell our story through our people and our projects and therefore attract the best talent to our profession by giving young people something they can aspire to be- celebrating our success, where we deliver great projects on time and on budget, have fun doing it and show off our enthusiasm for the work we do.
Also the word “engineer” means different things to different people - mechanic to some, gas fitter or tradesman to others. Of course they are all professionals and do important work, but the structural engineer shapes the very world we live in, and we need to get that message out there by increasing our visibility - I have met some amazing engineers doing work that had me awe-struck, like Jurg Conzett and Cecil Balmond. I have always admired the incredible work of Jorg Schlaich - and the world should know them better because their work is not known as well as it should be.
We have to show off our inspiring people. We also need to show that we are not a male-only profession and shake off the crusty image of the gentleman’s club of engineers. We need to show how the engineering’s combination of logic and art can truly allow one’s imagination to become reality in a way few other professions allow.
Finally, I think engineering is still more reactive than proactive, more listening than speaking and more consequential than influential. We have a voice and it’s too quiet. So speak up engineers! Get involved in Government, get involved in bodies that have influence and make yourselves heard. We have so much to contribute to society and it would be wrong if we didn’t exercise our gift more extensively.
How would you describe structural engineering?
Engineering is the application of science with both art and economy.
But maybe a simpler way of saying it is: engineers build the world. Human marks on this planet are because of us. We can create a scar or heal a wound.
When we learn how to heal the wounds better we will affect more lives positively than any other profession.
That’s why engineers really rule the world.
Thanks for your blog. Really inspiring to hear from engineers that are bridging the gap between such a technical subject and making it accessible for people.
After I got chartered with the ICE have been wondering about writing fiction about an engineer, to help a younger audience imagine the job. This is my first attempt https://johnhurle.com/2015/11/30/emily-was-an-engineer/ would really appreciate if you had any comments.

I wanted to let anglers in on a couple of things that almost got by me. One is that anglers can now have gas engines on their boats when fishing Washburn Ponds, which is just outside of Brewster.
These are popular with spiny ray anglers and are known to produce some big largemouth. This will allow anglers to fish the ponds in the boats they typically fish with on the Okanogan and on the Columbia River. I really like this as it will encourage me to fish them.
I haven’t in the past due to the rule that didn’t allow gas engines on boats. I am really excited to give them a try now that it will be easy for me to do. The ponds opened to fishing on April 1st and I should let anglers know that some of the best smallmouth fishing on the Okanogan River is in the very early spring. Don’t plan on catching a lot of fish, but the ones you get will be BIG.
Also, anglers on Banks Lake are getting the occasional Chinook salmon now. These were the result of excess stocks of summer-run salmon at the hatchery and are now over 20 inches and weigh up to 4 pounds.

A Nice Stay at Zpad Residences Tacloban.. | Tell Me… Am I From This World?
A Nice Stay at Zpad Residences Tacloban..
Up to the last week, I was still not sure if I could make it to Tacloban.. My dad was telling me not to go since I’d be alone and he thought I can’t manage on my own.. Whuaaattt!? I am now 30 years old and I guess I am old enough to travel on my own.. Well, I did..
On September 14th, we landed at Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport at 10:25AM, the exact time indicated in the ticket as arrival, though we were delayed 15 minutes on our departure in Manila.. I love TigerAir Philippines for the smooth ride and landing..
I already have reservations with Zpad Residences, a newly-opened, budget-friendly pad-type accommodation.. I also chose this place because it is the #1 hotel on TripAdvisor.. All reviews about it are positive.. Since I don’t know the place or anyone, I also arranged for an airport transfer but was surprised that instead of a typical shuttle (usual hotel’s transport vehicle is a van), I was welcomed by a gray Fortuner!! Oooohhhh.. I felt like a VIP..
We arrived at Zpad after around 15-20 minutes, however, my room still wasn’t ready since it was just around 11AM, and the previous occupant just checked out and they were still cleaning the room.. Their check in time is 2PM anyway, and they informed me beforehand that early check in depends on availability.. I decided to just take my lunch somewhere and be back by noon..
Since I don’t know any place there, I just went to Robinson’s Mall and looked around.. Bought extra shirts since I only brought 3 pieces with me.. I had my lunch at Shakey’s and enjoyed my Chicken and Salad plate.. Even had Banana Split for dessert..
By 1 o’clock, I went back to Zpad and checked in.. I got the Zpad Mini for Php950/night.. I was expecting that the room is small but I never expected the whole place would be so nice and clean!! My room is just good for one person since it is just 11 sqm. Enough for one bed, a table and a shower area with glass doors..
Sleeping for me was a bliss here since the area is far from downtown and main road so noise wasn’t an issue for me.. The bed with memory foam mattress is also superb as well as the pillows.. Water pressure is strong and the heater working.. They have a complete welcome toiletries set — shampoo, lotion, conditioner, toothbrush and toothpaste.. They also do housekeeping every day and changes the towels.. They are making sure that you are at your best comfort at Zpad..
Staff are friendly and helpful.. They were quick to respond to your requests.. They also set your expectations clearly when something arises.. Just like when they cleaned the water tank, they called each room and informed them of it and how long it will take..
Breakfast was nice too!! You can request for breakfast meals from 6AM-10AM for around Php150.. I love their bacon, scrambled egg and garlic rice.. Though they didn’t have Tapa when I was staying then, I still enjoyed the bacon and you just have to wait 5-10 minutes for them to prepare it..
All in all.. I enjoyed my 3-day stay at Zpad and I won’t think twice staying here again.. No regrets that I chose this over an overrated GoHotels.. I much preferred the simplicity yet elegance of the place, and the sincerity of the staff..
Zpad Residences is located along Dadison Street, a few meters away from Bethany Hospital in Real Street.. It is managed by Hotel XYZ, a new boutique hotel in the city.. Check out their website and rates at http://www.zpadresidences.com.

3. Truth: I don’t know how much time I have left, but I hope it’s enough. Enough time to do something of benefit, enough time to learn how to let go of all the things I can’t do or have or be.

Often, we don’t give secondary regulators much thought. Their job is simple: provide CO2 or mixed gas to the keg at the right pressure, as needed. The service calls and troubleshooting experiences we’ve had left us wondering if some challenges could be related to regulator performance, so we decided to do some testing. The suspicion was that many of the secondary regulators used in beer dispense may not be as sensitive as the job requires. Upon testing, we found that the pressure drop needed for gas to flow in the system was a variable in system design that hasn't been incorporated in our industry.
Notes on Hydraulic Pressure and Draught Beer.
Lift: When beer lines are higher than the keg or tank.
Line Restriction: When beer is flowing through the lines, the friction between the liquid and the tube results in pressure loss. This varies with tubing size.
Temperature: When beer lines are exposed to temperature variances, these changes require higher pressure to keep CO2 in solution.
Regulator Inconsistency: When the regulator is unable to maintain constant pressure under flow conditions.
Hydraulic pressure issues are the driving force behind the testing. The ability of a regulator to maintain its set pressure under the constantly changing flow requirements is exactly what a perfectly functioning draught system requires.
Because of this, we decided to design and manufacture our own secondary regulators: McDantim Secondary TruRegs™. Our regulators are more sensitive to gas flow, and the pressure drop required is much less than most common regulators on the market. Not only do our regulators have a higher performance scale, they are also ideal for field replacements. We designed our regulators to have a base manifold and cartridges for replacement so you don't need to shut down your whole system if a regulator fails.

Does NOT contain track or transformer. Product Details below provided by MTH trains. In the summer of 1934, Hudson 5344 entered New York Central's West Albany shops; before year-end, it emerged as the Commodore Vanderbilt, America's first streamlined steam locomotive. By the following February, the Commodore was heading NYC's premier train, the Twentieth Century Limited. Just months later, two versions of the Commodore appeared in Lionel's 1935 catalog: the budget-priced, red 264E leading the Red Comet set, and the deluxe black 265E, equipped with crosshead and piston, driving rod, connecting rod, and simulated reversing gear. While the actual Commodore was never paired with streamlined stainless steel cars, Lionel created its own modern train by matching the 265E with chrome-plated articulated cars borrowed from its Flying Yankee model - oddly predicting the prototype Empire State Express, a 1941 NYC train that coupled a different streamlined Hudson with gleaming Budd-built passenger cars. Only one other engine ever received Commodore-style streamlining: In 1936 a NYC Mohawk was streamlined to lead the Rexall Train. Proclaiming The Depression is over! And sporting car names that included Firstaid, Kantleek, and Ad-Vantages, the train barnstormed across 47 states to showcase the wonders of the United Drug Company's (Rexall) products. Immensely popular with the public, the blue-and-white train was immediately modeled by Lionel, cataloged as The Blue Streak from 1936-38. Imagine you're a child in the Depression-weary 1930s, when these Commodore Vanderbilt sets captured the excitement and optimism of the newest thing on American rails.

The acquisition of safe drinking water for early Greeley was no simple task. Discussions began in early 1883 when G. Law wrote to the Greeley Tribune suggesting that a well providing potable water could be constructed in Greeley with “little effort”. Attention at this time had been long focused on the success of the West Denver artesian well. After a few Greeley residents became ill from Greeley surface water due to its high sulfur content, petitions signed by roughly 100 taxpayers were presented on June 4, 1883 to approve drilling a similar artesian well.
There was no known opposition to the construction of the artesian well, and it was completed in April, 1884 at the south end of Lincoln Park, contracted by the Swan Brothers. The originally agreed upon depth of 880 feet proved unsuccessful in reaching water, so the City chose to renew the drilling contract. The drilling went forth with much labor and difficulties, crunching through hard and soft layers of the earth and producing all sorts of interesting soils and fossils. Tools were lost, drills broke and water seepage became somewhat of an issue. However, success was achieved and water was struck at almost 1200 feet.
A large can filled with nitro-glycerin was used to “shoot” or conduct the final opening of the artesian well. The newspaper humorously stated that boys and men were rushing to the well site when it was dangerous, but were getting out of the way when the danger of the “shooting” had passed. Immediately following the opening, a column of water shot up, and an increased flow resulted. The Greeley Tribune printed an image of this exciting event, depicting the destruction of the derrick by the blast and the surprise of all characters nearby.
Greeley’s first artesian well water was chemically pure except for the presence of free carbonic acid. Jesse Hawes, a local doctor, stated that this made the water have “a life and sparkle that is delicious and healthful.” A man by the name of Eli Hall claimed that he had not had a good night’s sleep for ten years until he began drinking the medicinal waters of the artesian well.
Greeley citizens saw the well as a success in light of the belief that the water had medicinal properties. Entrepreneurial boys soon spent Saturdays hauling water from the well to households for ten cents a tub, although competition quickly lowered that price.
When water began to be routed from other sources in Colorado, the Lincoln Park artesian well was abandoned. The Greeley Tribune raised the money to erect the rock structure that is presently at the old well site, and is now fondly called Pioneer Fountain.

So, I put the baby in the crib naked, right? Immediate panic.
So here I am, four months pregnant, a little fatter, and a lot gassier.
Lonnie and I were home over Spring Break to visit family, announce our pregnancy at Passover (what better time to answer “Who knows nine?), and get a rapid tutorial in mothering from the two people I know who have children (my mother and my mother-in-law).
While browsing the aisles of Babies’R’Us with my mom, sister, and husband, we stopped alongside the cribs. I proudly announced to my family that I knew how to put a newborn to sleep. I had just learned about when to start Tummy Time (a no-no until they can flip themselves over, I hear). So, I proceed to declare babies sleep on their backs. With nothing in the crib. And they should be naked. My mom and sister look at me, laugh hysterically, then freak out that I will be 3,000 miles away giving birth to this poor child whose mom is probably going to put it in its crib totally naked and make it fend for itself. This is the extent of what I know about parenting, and so begins this adventure.
I will probably be the only woman whose maternal instinct decides to malfunction for the first three years of my baby’s life. Poor kid.
So here’s to my learning curve, which will truly be more of a right angle. I plan to blog my way through it to mask my sheer terror, and it may prove an amusing read for all you other naturally maternal mothers out there. Rawr!

You have found that dream home or sold your current property, Legal representation has been instructed and the selling or buying process is reaching a conclusion and you start to discuss ‘exchange’ and ‘completion’. But what exactly is exchange and completion? What is the difference between the two?
Exchange of contracts creates a legally binding contract which neither the seller nor the buyer can withdraw from without financial consequence. Exchange of contracts will also set the completion date.
As exchange makes the transaction legally binding it can only take place once the buyer and their mortgage company (if applicable) are satisfied with all matters affecting the property. This usually means all enquiries must be fully answered, satisfactory search results have been received, a mortgage offer (if necessary) has been received and completion monies are in place. Exchange can also only occur once all parties in a chain have agreed on a completion date.
As it can be difficult to judge when all the parties will be in a position to exchange it is not advisable to discuss completion dates too early. The dates agreed may not be achievable and this can cause unnecessary stress.
Completion is the finalising of the sale or purchase. The completion monies are sent from the purchaser’s solicitor bank account to the seller’s solicitor’s bank account, once received, the buyer should be able to collect the keys from either the seller directly or from the estate agents. The ownership of the property passes on completion.
Exchange and completion can happen on the same day, or exchange can take place a few days, weeks or even months prior to completion. It just depends on the transaction!
Following completion of a sale your legal advisor will arrange for any mortgage to be redeemed and any estate agent fees to be paid. Following completion of a purchase your legal advisor will attend to the Land Registry application to register the property in your name(s). This may take a number of weeks to complete.

I have one question. I own a old house which is 15 years old brick house, which is in good condition(ground floor only). Now I want to construct duplex over it. Since it old house and there are no columns, how do I proceed and what should be taken care before constructing over it. I have seen couple of old house which use steel beam for extension. Is that the way I should be looking at??
Being a civil engineer myself and doing field work since passed out, the internet has been the source of all my updates in the construction field. After going through your site, I really appreciate all the hard work you are doing to post these civil engineering fundamentals on internet. People like me, not only get refreshed by this data available topic vise but many must have found the way through their problems in civil engineering both practically and academically also.
Good work, keep it up and all the best for all your future prospects.
Nice . Keep it up !
I’m a photo researcher for a publishing company in South Africa and there are a couple of photos in your site that would be perfect for the text book I’m busy working on. Could I perhaps email you the details?
nice job,i have a doubt regarding centre of gravity in rcc concrete beam.how it is useful in a framed structure(slab,beam,column).try to corelate with neutral axis,reference points with an example of beam supported by column on both ends fixed.
Wonderful job. Iam impressed, keep it up.
I am kalyan a postdoctoral researcher. Iam reposting my comment again. For my PhD dissertation work, I borrowed the image of steel reinforced concrete grid shown in Guide to Foundation Design | Column Footings of your blog. Now that work is going to be published in a journal and I need to obtain permission for copyright since the image is a third party material I borrowed from your blog.
Could you please reply to my email giving permission to use the image?

Netflix's inaugural culture deck is authored by CEO Reed Hastings. IDEO's culture code is uploaded by CEO Tim Brown. But when Dell Global Talent Manager Jennifer Newbill started thinking about joining the SlideShare Culture Code campaign and creating a deck on the inner workings and culture of Dell, she wanted to do something decidedly different: The deck would not be built from the top down, but rather by employees, she says.
“I’ve been watching the Culture Code revolution happening and got really excited about it,” says Newbill, who works on Dell's employee branding and candidate experiences. "But I wanted to focus on our people at Dell rather than have it come across as, ‘Hey, this is what Michael Dell [CEO] thinks, this is what the exec team or HR thinks.' "
The hope was also that Dell -- which went from a public to private company just over a year ago -- would be able to promote its entrepreneurial culture and mitigate a reputation of bureaucracy that can befall many larger corporations.
"Where we struggle, as do all large technology companies, is attracting attention and candidates from university or start up environments. This is because large companies are seen as bureaucratic and stagnant," Newbill says.
However, Newbill says, Dell was founded by the ultimate entrepreneur [Michael Dell] and as a result, is not a typical large tech company. She wanted to use the Culture Code to prove this. "We are engaged in the start up culture in technology and support this within our company. What we needed to do is share those stories. […] Sharing that story is key and what helps to modify any misconceptions."
It took Newbill four months to create the Culture Code, much of the time brainstorming with others and letting the ideas and feedback soak in.
“I gave myself and our teams enough time to think about the content, take in feedback and let the story evolve in a natural and organic way. There was not a set plan for what our Culture Code was supposed to be – we let it happen naturally,” says Newbill, who talked with about 20 people across a number of departments including Marketing, HR, and Social Media.
“Much of the content features people who have partnered with my team (our social media and brand engagement leads) to create testimonials about why they love working for Dell. There is no better content than that,” Newbill says.
Of course, creating the Culture Code wasn’t without its difficulties. In particular, Newbill says she debated whether she should include only positive aspects of the company.

I know this post is really late but I still want to wish mothers everywhere, happy mothers day. Honestly, to parents everywhere, happy parents day. My mum is the core of my family and without her, I wouldn't be where I am or who I am today.
Thanks to Resorts World Genting, this year I was able to give her a treat by bringing her up to Sky Avenue for a Mothers Day celebration. It has been ages since she last went up to Genting and with the new Sky Avenue done up wonderfully, this was a great opportunity to give her a treat plus the weather was seriously so hot lately.
The day started with a trip up to Genting Highlands where we stopped at the new Cable Car station. We had the chance to ride on the new Glass Floor Cable Car where you could now enjoy the view up to the peak with the glass floor. Great for photographing as well as having a new look at how high up you were.
For those of you who have yet to visit Sky Avenue, you definitely should! Love how they did up the place with the LED screens, really giving it an uplift.
As we reached the peak, we really enjoyed the cool breeze that welcomed us before heading over for our Mother's Day Lunch Celebration at Tampopo Delicieux.
Located at Sky Avenue, Tampopo is actually a well established eatery from Singapore which was voted as one of the best ramen in Singapore. Tampopo literally means Dandelion in Japanese and they beleive in using the best quality ingredients, spreading and sharing the culture of Japan and its food to their customer. They offer Japanese cuisine in a contemporary way which is perfect for family dining with their extensive selection of menu. We had a huge spread from their Ramen, appetizers and ending with desserts.
We started off with some appetizers like Jelly Fish Salad (RM19) and Edamame (RM9.90) just to prep our tummy before the mains arrive.
We were then welcomed with a bowl of their top rated ramen; Chicken Ramen "Miso" (RM35.20) and Chicken Ramen "Spicy Miso" (RM35.20). This bowl of ramen comes with chicken char siu, ajitsuke tamago, bamboo sprouts and of course their springy ramen noodles. Both the ramen had an excellent broth although it was not the usual pork broth, but it was sweet and creamy pairing well with the rest of the ingredients. The chicken char siu could pull of as a pork char siu as it was tender and flavourful. The star has got to be their springy noodles which had an excellent bite and texture, not too soft and carrying a bounce in each bite.
Although their ramen was slurp-worthy, I find myself picking more on the Tonkatsu (Chicken Katsu Set | RM34.20; ala carte RM25). This particular tonkatsu is the child product of Tampopo founder, Mr Takagi who was nicknamed "Father of Tonkatsu" as he was the mastermind who brought tonkatsu out of Japan to Singapore back in 1993. The Tonkatsu had a crispy, light and fluffy crust using Panko imported from Hokkaido. It was the perfect combination of crispy panko crust with the tender and succulent chicken. Although this wasn't the regular pork tonkatsu, but it was definitely a healthier and pork-free option.
The Tempura Moriawase (RM34) was a delightful crunch to enjoy. Crispy, not overly fried and the batter not too thick, this is one of the recommended Tempura Moriawase. You can enjoy freshly crushed sesame seeds to pair with your tonkatsu and tempura platter. Just crush the seeds and add the sauce into it to dip your tonkatsu.
Before ending our meal, we were treated to three of their top dessert options; Fruit Roll (RM15), Cream Puff (RM11.90) and Scope Cake (RM16.90). Highly recommended is the Cream Puff because seriously this has got to be one of the best cream puff I have eaten. The exterior was cripsy which breaks as you bite into it and the cream filling was seriously so creamy and good. Not too rich but it had a subtle fragrance to it which made it such a pleasure to enjoy.
Our day trip did not end there as mothers were celebrated with a flash mob before we witness Resort World Genting giving out some prizes and hampers to the single mothers who were invited to celebrate Mother's Day on that day too. So sweet and meaningful for them to be able to enjoy this special day as well.
Before heading back to KL, we were treated to enjoying the many other kiosk tenants at Sky Avenue. You're definitely spoilt for choice with the kiosks like Gindaco, Tokyo Secret, Gong Cha, Inside Scoop, Just Heavenly and Madame Waffle. Inside Scoop was lovely with their creamy delicious ice cream topped on freshly baked waffles. Yes you can now enjoy all your favourite desserts and snacks up at Sky Avenue too!
It was definitely an amazing Mother's Day celebration and mummy sure had a fun time with all the good food and also the cool weather to take her mind off work and stress. It has been a while having a mother-daughter bonding time with her so it was really nice to be able to spend time with her. She may not be one of the most vocal person to voice out how she feels but I know that she always has my best interest at heart. So once again, Happy Mother's Day and Parents Day to all you Mum and Dads out there. For those of you thinking where to bring your Dad this Father's Day, head on up to Sky Avenue, Genting Highlands and have a nice family bonding time.

China's Wu Di and Yuxuan Zhang will both compete in the main draw of Australian Open 2013 after winning the inaugural Asia Pacific Australian Open Wildcard Play-off in Nanjing, China, today. Wu Di defeated No.3 seed Danai Udomchoke (Thailand) 7-6(1) 6-4 to secure his wildcard today. On his way to the final the Wu toppled top seed Yuichi Sugita (Japan) and No.4 seed Ze Zhang (China).
The first set was a tight affair with a tie break required to split the players. Wu jumped to a fast start taking the first five points and securing the important first set.
"The first set was very important. I think too much about the wildcard at the start," Wu said after the match. "Then in the tie-break I played very relaxed and enjoyed the match. I am very happy that I have got this wildcard," Wu continued.
Wu will now head to the Chinese Nationals before heading to Dijon, France to continue training for the Australian summer.
In the women's final qualifier Yuxuan Zhang put in a sterling performance to win over No.2 seed Qiang Wang (China) 6-4 6-2 in 1 hour and 40 minutes.
In a tight first set, where both players struggled with nerves, Chinese teen sensation Zhang held serve in the ninth game and that was all she needed to seize the first set 6-4.
Both players held serve for the first four games of the second set until Zhang proved too strong, wining the final four games and taking out the set and the match 6-2.
"I am very excited [that] I can get into the AO main draw to Australia," Zhang said.
"I hope I can play well there. Today is a really tough match and Wang is a good player so I am very happy. I play better and better this year so I hope I can [continue to] get better."
Zhang's remarkable year has seen her move almost 600 places in the world rankings since January. She won six matches in this event alone, moving through qualifying and defeating top seed Kai-Chen Chang (Chinese Taipei) on her way to the final today.
The Inaugural Asia-Pacific AO Wildcard Play-off has been a collaboration between Tennis Australia and the China Tennis Association in association with Rolex and ANZ.

Well another week has come and gone, if only there was some news about SWTOR to discuss in this article. There was a minor mention of an entire new expansion coming to the game. Okay, enough sarcasm, there is a lot to talk about in regards to the announcement by Jeff Hickman, during EA’s press conference at the 2015 E3 convention. BioWare has officially announced the next expansion coming to SWTOR, Knights of the Fallen Empire.
June 6th, 2015 Christopher Lee passed away as it says in article by CNN.com. The well-known actor was 93 years old. Christopher Lee was in several major movies and almost always the villain. For many Star Wars fans know him from Episode II: Attack of the Clones and also appeared in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. He played Count Dooku and probably is most known for being the first on-screen to battle Yoda one-on-one.
We are under ten days from the 06/15/15 #FallenEmpire announcement. There has been a lot of speculation. I have my own thoughts on what it might be, as I’m sure you do. In the meantime, we do know for sure that in Update 3.3 there will PVP changes coming. We first heard about these changes via the interview on the Bad Feeling podcast. When will we get a chance to look at these PVP changes? The PTS should be up today, June 5th, 2015, with the first roll-out of the Update 3.3 changes.
How is it possible that we are nearing the end of May? I say this several times a year about time passing by, but it truly is and seems to do so at a quicker rate all the time. Five months almost is done in 2015. How has your year been? How would you say the year has been thus far for SWTOR? Honestly, I feel it is a mix of good and bad, with much more of it being good. I guess like in everything, it is a matter of perspective.

1. Harvesting depends upon the purpose for which they are used. Four maturity stages are generally recognized.
a. Green stage: The mature green fruits are generally harvested to send them to the distant market.
b. Pink Stage: At this stage colour turns to pink or red at the blossom end. They are picked for local market.
c. Ripe stage: At this stage surface of the most of the fruits is red and the soften of fruits begins.
d. Fully Ripe: At this stage fruits have approached maximum colour development and are soft. Starch is charged into sugars. They are generally consumed or used for canning and processing.
Depending upon the purpose for which they are used and market distance, tomatoes are harvested manually by plucking the fruits at different maturity stages.
1. Chillies are harvested at two stages, one for green vegetables and the other as dry chillies.
2. Green Chillies are harvested when they are fully mature and before they change from green to red.
3. Chillies for drying should be harvested when colour changes from green to red.
Depending upon the purpose for which chillies are to be used, fruits are picked either green or fully red ripe.

Pangea Adventure Racing returned to the charming town of Blue Ridge, GA for the 2013 Atomic AR and we were greeted with the regular red carpet on race day; rain! That's right rain and the threat of more rain seems to be a staple at this event but like always, adventure racers just take it in stride and power through.
The unpredictable nature of mother nature also poses challenges for the race directors. At the request of the National Forest Service, we decided to eliminate an Elite bike section and parts of the Sport bike due to rain. It was the right decision but it did hurt Elite teams strategizing their race around those points. It also affected the Sport race causing new instructions and surprises on the fly.
With that being said we got nothing but compliments about how interesting and different the challenge was specifically from the Elite. Those who thought differently didn't relay it to us and at the end of day we are just trying to put on events that will keep you interested in this sport.
As for the action, the Elite race was hard fought. Nobody ultimately cleared the course but that would have been a truly impressive feat.
At the top, Rib Mountain Racing lead Rev3/MK Masters by a point heading into the daunting Cold Mountain trek section. No other team spent as much time on this section than these two. Rev3 did gain that point back but it was at the expense of more than an hour. That allowed Rib Mountain to finish off the course with the time cushion and take the victory.
Rounding out the top three were the Adventure Capitalist/BDAR who finished nearly six hours earlier than the top two but fell two points short. Could have been their strategy but we also heard rumors of one teammate breaking his finger during the first paddle and toughing it out the rest of the way. No matter what it was a great race by them.
In the Sport Race, we were so happy to see the great amount of newcomers at this event. With that being said, one of our familiar Florida teams, the Cow Tipping Dwarfs, made the trip to take first. This win improves the Dwarf's already impressive 2013 resume. Five teams in all cleared the course and every team got more than half of the CPs. What really stood out to us though was the awesome attitudes nearly everyone had. The day may have been gloomy but the racers were full of sunshine.
Thanks again to everyone who came out for the 2013 Atomic AR. Creating such an event so far away from home is no easy task. Also a special thanks to Allen Van Valkenburg for taking time out to come scout with us to help ease the load.
But what really makes an event great is the participants themselves. The way that a drained Elite racer can muster up enough energy to laugh along with volunteers and practice comradery with their fellow combatants is inspiring. And when the eager Sport teams can roll in and brighten up a cloudy day it's just simply awesome. If you like our races then thank yourselves because you are the reason we keep putting them on.
Big thanks to Camp Skeenah Creek for allowing us to use their campground to start the 30 hour Elite race. Home of the original and still working Skeenah Creek Mill that was built 1848. A beautiful bit of living history.
Team: Are we lost yet?
