China is harnessing the power of water to satisfy its growing demand for energy. But some conservationists warn that China's quest is damaging one of the world's longest and most resource-rich rivers, the Mekong.
Some 60 million people along the Mekong's four thousand-800 kilometer path depend on the river for transportation and food.
The Mekong originates on the high Tibetan plateau, winding through China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam before reaching the South China Sea.
Recently, water levels in several parts have dropped to record lows and the fish catch has fallen.
The findings are causing controversy about the causes, with many conservationists saying the damage is due to hydroelectric dams, especially China's two huge dams in the upper part of the Mekong.
Marc Goichot, coordinator of the Mekong river project of the conservation group World Wildlife Fund in Cambodia, explains that upstream dams can change the main qualities of the river, such as its temperature, rate of flow, and the amount of oxygen in the water. It also affects the migration of fish.
"The reservoir is trapping the sediment and the sediment is very important for the stability dynamics of the river downstream. If the water has less sediment, it is more erosive. So the shape of the riverbed downstream will be affected."
China started building large dams on the Upper Mekong, in southwestern Yunnan province, near the border with Laos, in the mid-1980s. The government plans to build eight of them, and has already completed two dams, Manwan and Dachaosan. Work on a third one (Xiaowan) is in progress.
China needs the dams to create enough electricity to feed its voracious economic growth.
Experts say the deep gorges of the Upper Mekong, known in China as Lancang Jiang, are geographically well suited for hydroelectric power generation. Chinese officials defend their dams, saying they help prevent flooding in the Mekong delta during the wet season.
Feng Yan, a professor at the Asian International Rivers Center of Yunnan University, says China's upstream dams trap water in reservoirs during the wet season, which can then be used during the dry season. Downstream countries then get water in the dry season, and China gets electricity when demand is highest.
"Maybe in the future other dams will be built and there will be more water downstream in the Mekong River."
Conservationists say it is not only China's dams that are the problem; several large dams in Mekong tributaries are in the planning stage and could further harm the river system.
Laos is building a large hydropower dam, Nam Theun Two. Much of the power generated from this project will be sold to Thailand. Environmental activists warn that Nam Theun Two will change the natural flow and ecology of the Xe Bang Fai River, which flows into the Mekong in Laos.
Earlier this month, the Vietnamese government approved the construction of the Ninh Binh Two hydroelectric plant project in northern Vietnam.
Conservationists say halting the building of dams will not solve the problem if countries replace hydroelectric power with something less environmentally friendly.

"Interstellar": A (Missed) Opportunity for NASA to be Relevant?
By Keith Cowing on July 31, 2014 12:44 AM.
COOPER: (sighs) We've forgotten who we are, Donald. Explorers, pioneers. Not caretakers.
Donald nods, thoughtful. Weighs up his words.
DONALD: When I was a kid it felt like they made something new every day. Some gadget or idea. Like every day was Christmas. But six billion people ... just try to imagine that. And every last one of them trying to have it all.
This world isn't so bad. And Tom'll do just fine - you're the one who doesn't belong. Born forty years too late, or forty years too early. My daughter knew it, God bless her. And your kids know it. 'Specially Murph.
COOPER: We used to look up and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.
DONALD: Cooper, you were good at something and you never got a chance to do anything with it. I'm sorry. But that's not your kids' fault.
Cooper looks up at the stars above.
Keith's note: What will NASA do in terms of public outreach when "Interstellar" is released? They dropped the ball when it came to "Avatar" and the producers of "Gravity" never bothered to seek out NASA's help. This film is expected to touch deeply upon themes that point to the core of what NASA does - and will do so in a manner that leaps beyond the usual preaching to the choir that NASA does inside its own self-reinforcing echo chamber.

text: Reduced soil tillage can be an effective means of environment friendly cultivation of field crops. Farmers often criticize such systems having a negative effect on crop yields. Since 1992 two tillage systems (plough = ploughing before each main crop to a depth of 30 cm; mulch = shallow tillage to a maximum depth of 10 cm) are compared in a long term experiment in Harste (near Goettingen, Northern Germany) to evaluate the effects of tillage on yield and yield components of sugar beet (SB), winter wheat (WW) and winter barley (WB). Additionally, the nitrogen fertilizer application is varied in four levels. The fertilizer levels are adapted to the respective crop (SB: 0, 50, 110, 170 kg N ha-1; WW: 0, 110, 160, 210 kg N ha-1; WB: 0, 80, 130, 180 kg N ha-1). Effects of the mulch treatment were found in sugar beets resulting in a reduced white sugar yield. A distinct interaction of tillage systems and nitrogen dose occurred. With increasing nitrogen application the differences between yields of the two tillage treatments decreased but did not equal. On the other hand no differences in yields could be observed for the winter cereals which also did not differ in the yield components.

'Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast', the hit song from 1994 film Mohra starring Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon, is the latest victim of Bollywood's inability to leave well alone.
After meddling with songs like Hamma Hamma and Saara Zamana, Bollywood offers up Cheez Badi from upcoming film Machine.
Kavita Krishnamurthy's vocals have been replaced by Neha Kakkar's in the recreation by composers Komail-Shivaan.
The song (and film) stars debutant Mustafa and actress Kiara Advani, gyrating snakily in red. Despite Akshay's bandanna, sunglasses and waistcoat in the original having been dispensed with in favour of something more 2017, we can't say we're impressed.
Version 2.0 has none of the cheez-y charm of what passed for cool in the Nineties.

Marie of the Incarnation directed the construction of the wells for our Monastery. This water source allowed the lay sisters to efficiently carry out their chores. The well is no longer used but there is still water at the bottom of the well today, especially after heavy rains.

As many strip malls and big-box stores as there are, the vast majority of engineers can claim experience in this area and so do we. In particular we have worked on strip centers that are speculative such that we are designing the electrical and mechanical services before the actual retail tenant is defined. This type of approach requires detailed discussions with the owner so that all parties understand the impact and implication of assumptions and decisions.
We have worked on a number of strip centers in Oklahoma and Texas. Riverwalk Crossing in Jenks, Oklahoma and Kings Landing in Tulsa, Oklahoma are two centers with distinct styles for which we provided design services.
We have also designed a number of specialty retail stores and grocery stores. Those have included new buildings, tenant build-outs, and analysis of existing spaces for owners proposed use.

Justin Bogle and Colt Nichols are two of the most articulate riders in the pits, and not surprisingly they are also best friends. From their racing days on the local Oklahoma scene, to where they sit now, Bogle with a new Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-KTM-WPS ride, and Nichols leading the 250SX West Region standings on his Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha.
It's not always this easy, though, as both have dealt with tough times with injuries and employment. They've always had each other to lean on, though, and that has made all the difference. These days Bogle is crashing at Nichols' house in California, and they travel to the races together. When Nichols won Anaheim, Bogle was the first to run up to congratulate him. They've been there for the lows, so it's only right to be there for the highs.
Jason Weigandt grabs both riders in this episode of the Racer X Exhaust podcast.

I don’t know why I have such a love for the ocean but I just do. Growing up I never spent much time around water – apart from the odd sunny day trip to the beach with family – but I always had a draw and fascination with our seas and marine life.
I’d almost forgotten this side of me, living my adult city life, until 3 years ago when I signed up to a diving course on a whim and BOOM! My passion rocketed. I just HAD to make the ocean part of my life.
Straight away I began taking free online courses. Reading marine-related books and watching conservation films (get some inspiration here). Attending events and even signing up to a marine conservation course in Honduras.
I built up my skills and knowledge (and more importantly, confidence) until I felt like I was ready to take things even further. I no longer had to dream about being a marine conservationist I could be one.
I have launched an exciting new venture called Blu-ee (an acronym for Blue Experiences and Education) with the brilliant Jenny Hickman who joined me in Tanzania on my Whale Shark Expedition.
Our mission is to inspire ocean lovers to find their voices and to realise the important role they have to play in protecting our seas.
We’ve got lots of ideas on where we want to take Blu-ee but for now we will be putting all our efforts into establishing our flagship event….
The Blu-ee Festival is an ocean conservation festival taking place this November in the UK.
Set over a weekend on the Swanage coastline, there will be a series of activities and talks from marine life lectures, conservationist stories to survey workshops. It will be the perfect opportunity for to meet other like-minded individuals, to reconnect and to get a dose of inspiration.
Are you an ocean lover? If so then I hope you’ll be joining us! This really is going to be any water babies dream weekend.
I look forward to hopefully seeing you there!!

Vacuums and computers don't mix well...too much potential for trouble. Canned air is a much safer and effective solution.
well maby there is another way to remove the dusk from the processor cooler and vidcard.
I did it with mine computer also , dusk apear in the propellor from the coolers from the processor and maby the cooler from the vidcard also.
He can clean the dusk from the power suply also.
reset the bios and make sure all components must be clean also.
But maby just maby its just a power supply error.
He just cannot dilever the 12 v and the 3,3 for the memmory and the 5 volts for the harddisk.
Maby a processor cooler went into a error or the videocard cooler also.
It all depens how old that computer system is.
And it is just like he said the compuyter freezes so it can be a videocard error also.
test and try a older vidcard, test and tryout a other power supplyer where he is sure he knows that power supply is good.
canned air is maby a safer solution.
ill used to be a aa+ computer expert.
everything with that in mind here in europe is very hot right now it,s now here 30 grades the Celsius.
So the environment temparatures are not good for any computer system right now.
i just trying to help and solves his problem.
that hd monitoring you can see the temps and the fans.
mine 2 system fans running on 100 procent right now.
Tried that, turns out it requires other files to work that I didn't have.
Not a bad idea, though I'll need a mask. Light case of asthma. Even if that did fix things, doesn't help much if I'm dead.
Lot more than I thought, so if things are clogged up around the fins, and the fan is weighted. Things run pretty hot.
I use a brush and an air compressor, you just need to let it dry out for a little while, unless it's shooting out massive moister, but it dries fast, small particles of water, not that bad.
You got to clean it before you do anything else, and clean the edge connectors of the RAM. leave the CPU alone.
It's a good habit to clean your PC outside the house if the weather allows it. But your screenshot suggests that this is more than a bit of dust.
There is another way to find out whether it's a software problem or a hardware problem: download an ubuntu (or other linux distro) live disk and run it as "Try ubuntu". This will not install linux on your system, but just allow you to run it from the USB stick. It's a bit slow, depending on the PC, Ram and USB port/disk, but it helps a lot with diagnosing problems.
It's a good idea to keep a linux boot thumbdrive/disk just for such emergencies. I've used them several times to recover passwords from locked systems.
I'd always read that canned air was always to be used but a buddy of mine does it for a living and he told me that's fairly close to urban legend. In the old days the parts were pretty sensitive but the last years have seen parts made to be robust and less sensitive to extremes in conditions. He uses a shop-vac every day to clean things out and told me it's not an issue. I felt a little uncomfortable about it but he asked me when the last time that I used a grounding strap when swapping parts or if I've lost anything to static charge in the last 10 years. I had to admit I haven't and I don't worry about static charge hurting parts since it doesn't seem to happen to anyone any longer.
I wonder if canned air is like bottled water...You use it because it seems better but it's not at all necessary.
I've seen this (your screenshot on livejournal) many times when I worked on an iMac ...the videocard died and made many crazy things. Sometimes I got beautiful vertical orange and yellow stripes, horizontal black and grey stripes, shattered screens like yours with fractals in complimentary colour and sometimes just single coloured screens ...the dark blue one was my favourite.
Only solution was to replace the videocard ...I hope it's something different and not that severely.
To add to what Paper said.
Check the fan on the video card. On some cards you can replace or even upgrade the fan if it dies.
problem was the fan on the video card.
to miss the video card fan. Check it to make sure it is spinning up and not seized.
cleaning out vid card and cpu fans and other hard to reach places. Then a blast of air to blow it out of there.
JackGriffin wrote: I wonder if canned air is like bottled water...You use it because it seems better but it's not at all necessary.
No mate...I think it is because it can blast out nooks and crannies that vacuums can't reach. It also does a nice job of not letting fan fins be of any real significance.
Don't canned air get cold, then condensation ? seems worse.
My dad told me the thing about air is, it will inject dirt in as well as blow it out.
So I use a brush and an air compressor at the same time, just enough air in bursts not high pressure, as I brush.
As for static, just try to grab onto the case before and while doing things or lean on it (bare metal) while you work.
set the boards down on anti static bags, I also ground the bags a little before I put a board on them.
You could have 50,000 volts, so long as everything has 50,000 volts and nothing would go wrong (like a bird on a wire), same for ground, if everything is at ground it won't get a static charge.
Canned air cannot develop condensation on the inside; physically impossible in a pressurized vacuum. Your air compressor however certainly does get condensation inside. As for the carrier or propellant in canned air, it is not 'wet' and leaves no residue (it isn't water in any sense).
Now, blowing dirt in, well, I can't imagine where you would have to be doing the cleaning for this to happen....in a field or on a beach?
Finally, you don't have to disassemble the system to use the stuff; it works well without taking things apart. A soft makeup brush will loosen anything stubborn and help with fan blades.
Ah yes HDD Guardian does use .Net, so you must not have updated to v4 yet.
Then I would recommend using the manufacturers own software which you can find on the "Ultimate Boot CD"
The pic shows what looks like a heating or overclocking type problem, rather than corrupt files.
If anything about the nVida card dies, you will always see the DLL crash. This does not mean the DLL made it crash.
The problem you have with the old DLL being recreated before you copy in the new one, is your AV software being clever.
You will have to tell it to stop managing the system files while you replace any. Simply disabling realtime scanning may not work but try it first.
Personally I would just reinstall or use the fix install option in "Add/Remove Software", before resorting to that.
Your BIOS may end up with odd settings if you keep locking up, so don't forget to check everything there is as it should be.
Does your graphics card have a thermostat ?
CPU-Z and PC Wizard should show this info if possible.
Almico Speedfan is also very useful for displaying/monitoring/controlling temp and fan speeds.
No, when you spray the canned air the area gets cold, and the area gets condensation.
Canned air is like really bad freeze mist, but it still gets cold.
and yes air will push dirt into things, but at higher pressure from the existing dust or dirt, not new dirt.

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!).
I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!).
We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport.

Roy Nissany scores his third win of the season in the first race of the Formula V8 3.5 at Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The Israeli driver in the #4 Lotus car was the fastest qualifyier and he converted his pole position into victory, crossing the finish line with 12.422sec gap ahead of Louis Deletraz (Fortec Motorsport). Matthieu Vaxiviere (SMP Racing) completed the podium.
The most of the action we saw in the opening laps. Whilst Nissany defended his lead, Pietro Fittipaldi and Rene Binder, who started second and third, lost few places after the start. Vaxiviere jumped from seventh to third, followed by Deletraz. They swapped positions on Lap 5 and remained in that order until the checkered flag. Rene Binder fought back through the field and overtook Olivier Panis for P4 on Lap 19, but Panis was back in the next lap.
The championship leader Tom Dillmann (AV Formula) earned no points for the first time this season. He started ninth and remained there until lap 7, when he pitted because of some problems with a car. He returned in the race and finished 12th.
Dillmann remained in the lead of the Formula V8 3.5 overall classification after 13 races, with 189 points on his account. The seconnd-placed Louis Deletraz, the best rookie, has 167 points. One more race at Monza is scheduled for tomorrow.

Last year, Björn from Modularweb created the Piecemaker, a completely free, open source, 3D Flash image rotator gallery. Now, to kick off 2011, Björn's giving away The Piecemaker 2: totally revamped, with brand new features. Read on for more!
It's also entirely XML-based, and the HTML/CSS parsing has been improved, allowing special characters to be used. Plus, images can now contain hyperlinks to other websites.
A lot of readers wanted to use the original Piecemaker gallery in their WordPress blogs -- so many that Nettuts+ published a tutorial explaining how to do just that!
This time around, Kuba from MassivePixelCreation has made it simple. He's worked with Björn to create a free WordPress extension you can use to embed the Piecemaker 2 right into your site.
The Piecemaker 2 is open source, so feel free to download it, use it in any project you like, learn from it, modify it and improve it if you can. We'd love to see what you do with it. Also -- and of course this is no binding condition -- we'd love to showcase your work on the official Piecemaker website.
If you want to know more about The Piecemaker 2, get yourself over to ModularWeb for a FAQ section and a Showcase of examples. Also, stay up to date with further developments by following @modularweb, @mProCreation and @envatoactive on Twitter.
I got the same error message at first – then I unzipped the original Piecemaker .zip archive, and browsed the folder contents.

We assess the operational impacts of Six Sigma program adoptions through an event study methodology, comparing financial data for 200 Six Sigma adopting firms against data for matched firms, which serve as control groups for the analyses. We employ various matching procedures using different combinations of pre-adoption return on assets (ROA), industry, and size as matching criteria. By comparing performance outcomes across a hierarchy of operating metrics, we establish a pattern of Six Sigma adoption effects that provides strong evidence of a positive impact on ROA. Interestingly, these ROA improvements arise mostly from significant reductions in indirect costs; significant improvements in direct costs and asset productivity are not evident. We also find small improvements in sales growth due to Six Sigma adoption. Cross-sectional analyses of the performance results reveal that distinctions in Six Sigma impacts across manufacturing and service firms are negligible. Interestingly, we find that the performance impact of Six Sigma adoption is negatively correlated to the firm's quality system maturity (indicated by prior ISO 9000 certification). Further analyses of manufacturing and service firms reveals that Six Sigma benefits are significantly correlated with intensity in manufacturing, and with financial performance before adoption in services. We discuss the implications of these findings for practice and for future research.

More hurt than help- A glimpse in to the dirtier side of Instagram.
Instagram cleaning queen, Mrs Hinch and her loyal army of ‘Hinchers’ is the latest craze to sweep the nation, her page has gained over one million followers in the past few months. If you search #hinching on Instagram you’ll find an abundance of videos showing kitchens transforming from dirty to flirty, pictures of cupboards full of every cleaning product imaginable and slightly unsettling yet almost cute footage of grown women putting their “minkeh” and “pinkeh” cloths to bed each night.
Apart from the concerning amount of chemicals hinchers must be inhaling, I find it hard to imagine this trend being particularly harmful, although as demonstrated by her explosive growth it is undeniably addictive. Heck, I even found myself purchasing a bottle of pine scented toilet cleaner despite not owning a home. Shockingly, a survey by the Royal Society for Public health stated that: “Social media has been described as more addictive than cigarettes and alcohol.” As expected, with most addictions the impact is usually not positive.
Scrub the surface hard enough and you’ll find a dirtier, darker side to Instagram. Search #ana” or “#self-harm” to reveal a disturbing world of pain and severe depression.
In a mental health survey by the RSPH on 16-24 year olds, Instagram was rated as having the most negative effect on mental health out of the 5 major social media platforms, behind; Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat.
On #selfharm you’ll find graphic images of scored forearms, blood spattered sinks and deep scars from years of cutting. For some self-harmers these sites are seen as competition and to cut is to compete.
Users feel if they were to leave Instagram they would no longer be part of a group, no longer belong to something, even if it is detrimental to their health. Instagram and social media as a whole is a huge part of most of our lives, especially young people. As a society we must try not to lose sight of reality and must be aware of the positive and negative impact Instagram has on our lives, whether that is to have the cleanest kitchen or the deepest cut.

"It is out of the question that groups like al-Nusra and al-Qaeda can take shelter in our country," Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters on November 7 at a press conference during an official visit to Stockholm. "On the contrary," he said, "any such structures would be subject to the same fight we carry out against separatist terrorist groups. We have taken the necessary steps against them and we will continue to do so."
Erdogan's comments come shortly after accusations that Turkey has been supporting radical factions of the Syrian opposition and al-Qaeda affiliates in Syria, specifically Al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham. The two groups have gained prominence throughout the course of the Syrian conflict, emerging as part of the resistance against Syrian President Bashir al-Assad. Over the past several months, the groups have gained ground in the northern part of Syria and along the Turkish-Syrian border.
At the beginning of the Syrian conflict, Erdogan's government was one of the strongest supporters of the Syrian opposition and repeatedly called on Al-Assad to step down. The Turkish government has openly declared its support for the Free Syrian Army, which is affiliated with the Istanbul-based Syrian National Coalition.
Ankara also kept an open-door policy throughout the more than two year-long Syrian conflict, providing a lifeline to rebel-controlled areas. However, in the past two years the Turkish government has repeatedly denied supporting any Syrian groups that are radical in nature.
Still, news reports have claimed that Turkey provides support to radical Islamist groups. In an August interview with Turkish publication Taraf, Saleh Muslim, the leader of the Kurdish Syrian group known as the Democratic Union Party, said that his group had intelligence confirming transfers of ammunition between Turkish and Syrian borders.
Muslim added that the al-Nusra group picked up the weapons in preparation for an attack on Kurdish villages just over the border in northern Syria. "It is impossible to understand how Turkey lets this happen," he said. "If the al-Nusra Front is the enemy, then this should be prevented."
While Muslim's comments did not directly implicate the Turkish government in supporting the radical groups, his frustration seemed to stem from the Erdogan government's turning a blind eye towards al-Qaeda affiliated groups and allowing them to conduct operations on Turkish soil largely uninhibited.
Recently, Turkey seems to have changed its diplomatic tone towards Syria. This change comes following a series of incidents that occurred over the last few months around the Turkish-Syrian border, namely the bombing in Ryhanli, Turkey this past May.
The attack, allegedly carried out by those linked to the Syrian intelligence agency, left more than 50 people dead and drew verbal outcry from the Turkish public and opposition parties, who blamed the bombing partially on the Turkish government for its weak diplomacy with Syria.
The Turkish people also expressed frustration at what they saw as a passive attitude from the United States on the Turkish-Syrian conflict. A recent deal between the United States and Russia that will dismantle Syria's chemical weapons instead of pursuing military action against Al-Assad has left Turkey isolated in its efforts to forcefully intervene in Syrian politics and oust Al-Assad.
In a positive development, Hassan Rouhani's July election to the Iranian presidency presented Ankara with a rare opportunity to collaborate with a moderate political figure unlike his predecessor. A two-pronged approach in Turkey and Iran engaging Syria could prove effective in quelling Syria's violence.
What many consider to be Turkey's relaxed policy toward al-Qaeda affiliates – who have targeted Kurdish villages and Syrian Kurdish groups – has been threatening peaceful talks between Ankara and the outlawed Kurdish Worker's Party. These talks were designed to end the decades-long Kurdish conflict that began in 1984 and has since resulted in the death of more than 40,000 people.
By endangering these talks, the Turkish government is compromising a 10-month ceasefire with the Kurdistan Workers Party, a period during which not a single Turkish soldier died. The ceasefire and the talks have been a highly welcomed development for most of the Turkish public.
Losing these negotiations could, according to both the European Union and the United States, threaten the Justice and Development Party's chances of staying in power following the country's next major elections.
It is likely that with the recent bombing and outcry against the Turkish government, Erdogan's team has been reevaluating its approach to handling the Syrian conflict. On October 15, the Turkish army reported that it had fired at strongholds of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in retaliation for the insurgent group's mortar attacks from hideaways in Syria's mountain ranges.
This marked one of the first retaliations by Turkish forces targeting an al-Qaeda affiliate. On October 10, the Turkish government announced that it had frozen the assets of businessmen with links to al-Qaeda and Taliban groups.
On November 7, Turkish police seized a cargo truck full of rocket heads, bazookas, missiles, bombs and guns near the southern province of Adana. The truck was believed to have been en route to al-Qaeda affiliates based in Syria.
Some argue that the revival of Turkish policies designed to quell radical groups' activities could clear Turkey from allegations that it is assisting them. Analysts warn, however, that this could also lead to Turkey becoming a target for radical groups.
"Turkey's going public with the identity of the target could introduce a new element to recently heightened accusations of Turkey helping radical groups," said writer Nihat Ali Ozcan in an October article for the website Al-Monitor. But this "could also make Turkey a target, especially for al-Qaeda and its affiliates," he added.
Just two weeks after Ozcan's statements, Today's Zaman newspaper published a report suggesting that the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and Syria was planning to target major Turkish cities, citing reports from Turkish intelligence officials. "Their vehicles are being prepared in Syria's northern city of Raqqa," stated the report. "Intelligence units discovered detailed information on Oct. 30 about ISIS's plan to carry out a terrorist attack, and got in contact with local units."
Following the Today's Zaman report, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria allegedly issued a statement from Abu Mohammed Al-Adnani, a spokesperson for the group. In the statement, he denied that the group had any plans to attack Turkey or other countries. Al-Adnani also accused the Syrian regime and its media outlets of fabricating news.
Numerous observers of the Syrian conflict also said an impending attack seemed unlikely. "There is no truth at all to supposed plans to target Turkish cities," said Aymen Jawad Al-Tamimi, a fellow at the Middle East Forum, in an emailed comment to The Atlantic Post. "The alleged statements are fabrications from pro-Assad circles," he said, "who are aiming to cajole Turkey into tightening security on the border and stop the inflow of foreign fighters into Syria."
Al-Tamimi argued that Turkey "does not do anything" to stop the flow of foreign fighters into Syria to join ISIS or al-Nusra. He said Turkey "sees these groups as useful proxies against the [Democratic Union Party] and they have not actually threatened to attack Turkey."
However, according to recent comments by Democratic Union Party leaders, Ankara is believed to have stopped the flow of al-Qaeda fighters crossing into Syria. "The [radical groups] are not attacking us after crossing to [Syria] from Turkey as before," said Saleh Muslim in November, according to Turkish publication Taraf. "This is very good news. We hope that Turkey will continue this stance [towards the extremist groups]."
Aaron Stein, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies and a Ph.D candidate at King's University told The Atlantic Post in an interview this month that "it is still too early to tell, though Saleh Muslim's recent assertion that foreign fighters have not entered from Turkey to fight the [Democratic Union Party] was noteworthy." Turkey's border areas, he said, are still flooded with Syrian and foreign fighters, adding that "it would be unrealistic to assume that Ankara can simply make them go away overnight."
Whether or not Turkey supported radical Syrian rebels or at least provided a lifeline for them in the past, as many believe, Stein agrees that Ankara is definitely rethinking its foreign policy strategy as a result of complications with radical groups in the region.
"I wouldn't say that Turkey has adopted a new Syria policy per se, but rather is taking pragmatic steps to prepare for a future filled with conflict," said Stein. "Ankara's recent moves in Iraq and Iran aren't really a foreign policy reset, but rather a pragmatic and smart step to compartmentalize Turkey's relationship with states in the region."
It is no stretch to say that the Turkish government was overly ambitious in thinking that unrest in Syria could be resolved before radical groups had the chance to cement their place in Turkish and Syrian society. Erdogan's government was also disappointed by other countries like the United States and Russia resorting to a less aggressive, more diplomatic approach with Syria.
What became a diplomatic, and in many ways, a drawn-out solution to solving the crisis in Syria left the country with a mixture of complicated ethnic and sectarian conflicts that have yet to be fully addressed. Syria's civil war also provided a basis for radical and terrorist groups to expand their activities in the country unhindered. Turkey is late in tackling the Syrian conflict, but according to Stein, correcting the problem is not impossible. "Turkey," he said, "will always be an important player in the Syrian conflict."

A headline is a short statement (60 characters max, including spaces) which should entice readers to read on. It should grab their attention and interest, and give them an idea of what to expect in the story. Headlines should be understandable on their own.

One thing was clear at the Virginia Chamber of Commerce’s Energy Conference: Virginia is shifting toward renewable power, faster than ever before.
Cybersecurity, grid resiliency, and corporate commitments to clean energy dominated the conversation. On an energy policy panel, Virginia State Senator Frank Wagner, Delegate Terry Kilgore, and Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources Matt Strickler enthusiastically touted the cost-savings, economic development and fuel diversification that accompanies solar power. While Senator Wager raised concerns about the State Corporation Commission (SCC) and Virginia becoming a member of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), they all remained confident that solar will be a large part of Virginia’s energy future.
The Grid Modernization bill is already making Virginia more attractive to corporate buyers seeking more solar energy. Jim Reinhart, COO of QTS Data Centers discussed corporate interest in renewable energy to power the energy-intensive data centers cropping up in the Commonwealth. Reinhart emphasized that solar’s favorable, consistent economic return are quickly enabling it to become the go-to energy source in the tech industry.
After the conference, MDV-SEIA hosted the second annual panel discussions and reception event focusing on the state of solar energy in Virginia. The panels took a closer look at both the utility-scale and rooftop markets, discussing the grid modernization legislation (SB 966), recent decisions from the State Corporation Commission (SCC), the development of new land use educational materials, and the launch of a workforce development initiative in southern Virginia.
The main takeaways are two-fold: (1) that large-scale solar is propelling the solar market and (2) there are opportunities to increase the incentives and remove barriers to distributed generation in order for more residential customers to benefit from solar energy. Keith Harkins, a representative from Southside Virginia Community College (SVCC) expressed his enthusiasm for the potential benefits from a program that would train Virginia-based solar workers to enter the utility-scale solar installation field. Panelists agreed there is robust local demand for this type of work and a supply of workers who are willing and capable to gain a new skill set.
The energy conference made it abundantly clear that the future of solar in Virginia is, to say the least, bright.
Energy stakeholders in Virginia convened on Wednesday the 23rd at the Virginia Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Energy Conference. Solar was a big topic.
State Senator Wagner, Delegate Kilgore, and Secretary of Natural Resources Strickler praised solar, and despite some disagreement on Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, concluded that solar will be a big part of Virginia’s future.
COO of QTS Jim Reinhart explained that solar is becoming increasingly attractive for tech companies like Apple and Google that run data farms in Virginia.
MDV-SEIA hosted an event with panel discussions for solar stakeholders in Virginia. Speakers discussed recently passed legislation, opportunities and challenges for solar in the Commonwealth and a new training program for utility scale solar installers in Southern Virginia.

Her Excellency Dr. Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Minister of Public Health, attended the conference's opening ceremony and noted the significance of the collaboration between HMC and Heidelberg University Hospital. During the event Her Excellency Dr. Al Kuwari signed a partnership agreement with Professor Dr. Annette Gruters-Kieslich, Chief Medical Director and Chairperson of the Board of Heidelberg University Hospital to establish a National Center for Rare Disease in Qatar.
I am delighted to see the progress that has been achieved since the agreement between HMC and Heidelberg University Hospital was signed a year ago. Not only have we had the benefit of senior consultants from Heidelberg visiting Qatar to provide specialist expertise to our patients, but we have also benefited from opportunities for joint training exercises, with many physicians from Qatar having trained in Heidelberg's world-renowned facility, said Her Excellency Dr. Al Kuwari.
As we work together to explore new ways of delivering better patient care, education, training, and research, we will continue to look at areas where Qatar can develop further and one such area is the planned Qatar National Center for Rare Disease. This center will be a joint collaboration with Heidelberg University Hospital and will see the combining of both organization's knowledge and expertise, added Her Excellency Dr. Al Kuwari.
Dr. Saad Al Kaabi, Chairman of the International Medical Affairs Office at HMC and Conference Chairperson, said the gathering provided a forum for clinicians, researchers, academics, and healthcare professionals to explore new clinical and research collaborations, and to build on many of the collaborations that were born out of last year's inaugural conference.
We signed an agreement last year to deepen the long-standing relationship between HMC and Heidelberg University Hospital and we have already seen significant benefits resulting from the close collaboration between both our institutions. During the past year, we held a neurosciences symposium to coincide with Multiple Sclerosis Day and Heidelberg University Hospital contributed numerous speakers to the program for our 3rd Annual Breast Cancer Conference in October. A senior delegation from HMC's Radiology Department also visited Heidelberg in May to explore potential areas of collaboration. And at our joint conference this year, we are holding the first symposium on rare diseases, which is of great interest to our scientists and clinicians, said Dr. Al Kaabi.
Dr. Khalid Al Rumaihi, Head of Urology at HMC and Chair of the Uro-Oncology National Clinical Advisory Group expressed his appreciation to the conference's speakers. Dr. Al Rumaihi, who was also Chair of the Conference's Scientific Committee, stated that the high caliber of local speakers allowed for the development of an expanded and exeptional program.

Grundfos now offers a complete “plug-and-play” pumping unit for coolant filtration systems. The MTS pre-assembled system includes a customised pump base plate in a number of sizes, pipe work and hydraulic valve.
“Just add power and connect it to a clean filtration system—with coolant quality of 100 microns or smaller,” says Kevin Wilkinson, Area Sales Manager, Grundfos Pumps Ltd. in the UK.
Machine tools – including grinding machines – have developed to require much higher coolant pressures in their tools, he adds. Where the previous standard was 20-30 bar, today’s minimum requirement is 70 bar, but it can go much higher in some applications that might have coolant pathways of 4 mm or smaller.
Grundfos' MTS series – three-spindle, self-priming screw pumps – supply machine tools with pressure up to 130 bar and a flow up to 900 l/min. The higher pressure requires a pressure relief valve, but customers do not have to worry, since the complete pumping unit already includes one.

The secrets of a beautiful skin are a few: hydration, smoothness, luminosity. Part of the secret is how we treat it externally. The other part is how we nourish it from within.
Summer comes and with it we stock all kinds of products for the skin: tanning, after-sun, moisturizing … care aimed at avoiding the ravages of the sun on the skin after the long winter. But many women feel that despite this, their skin is dry, dry, dry … The secrets of beautiful skin are a few: hydration, smoothness, luminosity. Part of the secret is how we treat it externally.
The other part is how we nourish it from within. Just as the tree feeds through its roots – and not its leaves – skin care begins on the plate.
Vit C: Fundamental also as an antioxidant. It is found in: citrus fruits, strawberries, sprouts, watercress, cauliflower … fresh fruits and vegetables in general.
Magnesium: Green leafy vegetables, whole grains, algae, nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, almonds, avocados … especially if they come from organic farming.
Silicon: Whole grains, millet, horsetail (can be taken in tablet).
Vit A, or carotenes: Carotenes are pro-vitamin A, precursor substances capable of becoming a vitamin in the body. It is found in dark green vegetables (Swiss chard, spinach, parsley, broccoli …) and orange fruits and vegetables (carrots, squash, apricots …). In vitamin form it is found in egg yolk, butter, fish oil, especially liver.
Selenium: Wheat germ, whole grains, onions, meat, fish, eggs, brewer’s yeast.
A good supply of nutrients does not guarantee a good absorption if the system is clogged with waste substances. A dull, haggard complexion denotes a certain degree of tissue poisoning and poor circulation, a nutritious but clean diet and the practice of sport, which not only stimulates circulation but also increases the elimination of toxins through the skin, represent a healthy way to achieve a more “transparent” skin.

"We Are the World" was such an obvious choice for record of the year in Tuesday night's 28th annual Grammy Awards ceremony that it seemed almost anti-climatic when the envelope was actually opened.
Still, it was a supreme moment in pop history when co-writers Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie stepped on stage to a standing ovation to accept the Grammy on behalf of USA for Africa, the organization that sponsored the benefit recording project.
Quincy Jones, who produced the record and joined Jackson and Richie at the podium, thanked "the generation that changed 'I, Me, My' to 'We, You, Us.' "
In accepting a Grammy earlier in the evening for best song, Jackson said, "First, I'd like to thank God." After pausing briefly, he added, "I'd like to thank (Him) for picking Lionel and myself to write 'We Are the World."
"We Are the World," which also won in two additional categories, suffered its only loss in the album competition to Phil Collins' "No Jacket Required." This wasn't a surprise because the "We Are the World" album--which included tracks donated by various artists--was a far less distinguished work than the single.
The best-record victory made "We Are the World" the first charity-oriented recording to win in a top Grammy category since the "Concert for Bangladesh" was named best LP in 1973.
And "We Are the World" represented a far more dramatic chapter in rock history than the earlier effort.
It was almost 13 months to the day that Jackson and Richie were joined in a Hollywood studio--about a dozen miles from the Shrine--by an unprecedented lineup of pop and rock stars to record the song that triggered worldwide concern for famine victims in Africa.
But so much has happened since that dramatic night at A&M; Studios that it seemed as if years had passed. The irony of the "We Are the World" success is that the single was virtually ignored in a year-end poll of the nation's 200 leading pop and rock critics.
Maybe the record seemed to be too simple and sweet a gesture for writers who prefer more biting and sophisticated commentary. But part of pop and rock's most valuable asset has been its ability to inspire.
As much as any event in pop cultural history, "We Are the World" brought together, even if for a few magic moments, the normally fragmented pop audience in a way that almost seemed impossible in this cynical age.
While Jackson and Richie stood on stage with Jones and other emmbers of the USA for Africa musical team, their song played once more over the sound system.
It was a touching reminder of just how far a single song can take us.
After "We Are the World," the closest thing to a major sweep was provided by Phil Collins--who was honored for best album, male pop vocal and (with Hugh Padgham) best pop producer.
Other key winners included Sade (new artist); Whitney Houston (female pop vocal); Tina Turner, Don Henley and Dire Straits (rock vocals); Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and the Commodores (R&B; vocals); Cleo Laine (female jazz vocal); Wynton Marsalis (solo and jazz instrumentals); Rosanne Cash, Ronnie Milsap and the Judds (country vocals).
Manhattan Transfer's "Vocalese" album figured in three awards. Jon Hendricks and Bobby McFerrin won best male jazz vocal performance honors for their contributions to "Another Night in Tunisia," a track from "Vocalese." The Transfer itself was cited for best jazz vocal by a group, while Cheryl Bentyne and McFerrin were named best vocal arrangers for their work on "Tunisia."
Jan Hammer picked up two Grammys (pop instrumental performance and composition) for his "Miami Vice Theme," while the Winans' "Tomorrow" album also registered two Grammy wins. Marvin Winans was judged best male soul gospel singer, while the Winans won best soul gospel group vocal.
"Beverly Hills Cop" was judged best sound-track album, while "West Side Story" was declared top cast show LP.
Chicago Symphony Orchestra conductor Sir Georg Solti, who already held a record 23 Grammys, won another by being honored in the best opera recording category.
In addition, Broadway composer Andrew Lloyd Webber won his first classical Grammy for best contemporary composition and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, with Robert Shaw conducting, captured four awards, the most by any classical group.
The "We Are the World" single, which featured such singers as Ray Charles, Bob Dylan and Diana Ross, both shaped and defined the Pop-as-Benefactor syndrome that was a dominant theme of pop music in 1985.
While project catalysts Harry Belafonte and Ken Kragen (manager of Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers), were inspired by London-based rocker Bob Geldof's actions in organizing a 1984 British charity recording called "Do They Know It's Christmas," the "World" single and album stirred the pop imagination and conscience even more dramatically.
Indeed, it was the success of "We Are the World"--which raised more than $40 million for famine relief--that enabled Geldof to mobilize the forces required to put on the landmark Live Aid concerts in London and Philadelphia last summer.
The spirit of "We Are the World" and Live Aid was also picked up by a variety of other groups, including the April 9 "Cantare, Cantaras" recording, which was aimed at raising funds for health and nutrition concerns in South and Central American countries, and last fall's Farm Aid concert, which focused attention on financially-troubled U.S. farmers.
The session that produced "We Are the World" included some of the most honored performers in all of pop--all told, they have received more than 110 Grammys in past ceremonies.
Sixteen belonged to Quincy Jones--the second-highest number of awards by a non-classical artist. The award Tuesday as producer of the single left Jones only three shy of pop front-runner Henry Mancini.
One of the common complaints against the Grammys over the years is that the voters recognize commercial, "safe" acts and ignore rock's challenging new forces. Among those who were woefully under-acknowledged: Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Spector, the Who, David Bowie, Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Randy Newman and Neil Young.
But the 6,000 members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences have a way of making up for the oversights--the lifetime achievement awards. The Grammy voters may have missed honoring the Rolling Stones in the years when that English band's music really mattered, but the academy passed out the lifetime achievement award to the Stones on Tuesday.
Eric Clapton presented the award in London in a ceremony shown live on the U.S. telecast via satellite. Clarinetist-bandleader Benny Goodman and classical guitarist Andre Segovia were also honored with lifetime achievement awards. Past recipients include Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Elvis Presley.
In addition, George and Ira Gershwin were honored Tuesday with a Trustees award. Barbra Streisand made the presentation to Mrs. Ira Gershwin.
Kenny Rogers hosted the ceremony.

It’s no secret that the Holidays can be a stressful time of year… especially when it comes to selling a home. Buyers are overwhelmed with Holiday gifts and get-togethers; who has the time, energy, and money to buy a house? The cold weather and pressure to create a fantastic staging of their home can leave sellers throwing their hands in the air in frustration. Good news! Selling during the holiday season can actually work to your advantage.
Although the holidays can often be frustrating and overwhelming, it’s also, as they say, “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”. Buyers want to envision themselves celebrating the Holidays in the home that they buy, and you have the ability to help them make that vision a reality. Stage your home for the holidays to turn your house into a potential buyer’s dream home by making the space fun, festive, and full of Holiday cheer.
Transform your house into a cozy winter wonderland by enhancing each room with décor, lighting, and pops of color. Not only is decor aesthetically pleasing, it’s a great conversation starter! Experts advise that accessories should always be placed in groups of odd numbers. When it comes to lighting, there’s nothing worse than walking into a room with intrusive, bright fluorescent lights (it makes us think of a visit to the Dentist’s office). Lighting can make or break an experience in a space. Lucky for you, the Holiday season allows for use of candles and string lights. Choose a familiar holiday scent for your candles like peppermint or gingerbread to give your house a warm and cozy ambiance. These are just some of the winter home selling tips that you can take away and apply to get your home prepared for selling this yuletide season.
The advantage of having Holiday decor is that you don’t need to have a large amount of furniture. Professional stagers recommend having as little as one half of the usual furnishings to avoid looking cluttered. Plus, festive decorations can sometimes mask the not-so-pretty parts of the home (think that “junk room” in the basement). If your home mostly features neutral tones, try out a new accent color! Not only are accent colors very trendy, it’s the perfect way to incorporate a bold pop of Holiday red.
By creating a festive space that buyers can envision themselves in, you’ll give yourself a better chance of selling this winter. So go ahead, deck the halls, and turn your house into someone’s new home. One last tip- fresh flowers can go a long way! Ditch those peonies and use poinsettias or holly instead. ‘Tis the season!

Commerce in Action was established to elect government officials who value and support economic freedoms for business as well as individuals.
CIA is governed by an independent Board of Directors and is a non profit organization. However contributions are not tax deductible.
Overregulation and over taxation are truly serious inhibitors to the prosperity which we once had in America.
There is much lacking with the many general organizations and industry specific cheerleading entities available or more widely known to business today. We hope to narrowly focus on principles and legislative restraints that will allow the businesses that are perceived at large as beneficial or neutral rather than the more represented and larger business interests that have a more sophisticated representation structure. These generally have higher probabilities of achieving specific benefit for the group that may often be at the expense of others or of founding and sustainable principles.

Ubuntu Linux Founder Mark Shuttleworth has urged development of a Linux desktop to rival the Apple platform.
Linux should be able to rival Apple as a desktop operating system said Ubuntu Linux founder Mark Shuttleworth.
Shuttleworth, speaking at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) in Portland, Oregon, also urged development of a new revenue model to fund free software and set his sights on a services-based mechanism for this. He also stressed the importance of interoperability with Windows.
Shuttleworth, of Canonical, emphasised development of the Linux desktop as well as mobile development.
"It would be hard to do from a free software point of view, I think, because so many people have so many different opinions," said Brad Cavanagh, data reduction software engineer at the Joint Astronomy Centre in Hawaii.
The free software world was in a quest for a complementary economic model. "When we look back at this era, we'll be looking at economics," as much as factors such as technology, Shuttleworth said.
"In a very real sense, everything is becoming software," said Shuttleworth. "There have never been better opportunities to create wealth, better opportunities to change the world."
Recent wealth creators such as Google had been built on free software, Shuttleworth said. Free software, meanwhile, was "the ultimate form of disclosure" and served as an engine for innovation.
"The question we should be asking the free software world is how can we stimulate that? How can we drive innovation faster," said Shuttleworth.
Shuttleworth also promoted the notion of cadence in free software releases. "The idea of establishing a regular rhythm or regular, predictable release schedule for free software is, I think, gaining prominence," and helps to stimulate the free software development process, he said.
Society, he said, needs a "pipeline of innovation." A free software platform must be made accessible and designed for innovation, Shuttleworth said. The Firefox platform for instance, had been effectively made a platform for innovation through extensions and plug-ins, he said.
Linux, Shuttleworth said, must link up with Windows. He stressed his belief that "Linux is the platform of the future. But I think it's essential that we learn how to work with Windows."
Extensible software must work across both platforms, said Shuttleworth.
Shuttleworth also asked how free software changed the perception of software methodologies. He suggested extending agile programming. "If I look at the innovation story, the methodology story, the common thread on both of those to me is collaboration and participation," said Shuttleworth.

Baby boomers grew up listening to the radio and watching TV just as their grandchildren are growing up with streaming and smart phones.
An interesting medium that has evolved is the podcast: a radio show, yet not on the radio. Downloaded and listen to anytime anywhere. Quite an advantage over traditional radio.
Sometimes, a group of podcasters form a collective to help promote and support their work. Radiotopia is an example of this type of collective.
Bones Music was the title of a recent podcast from Radiotopia’s Fugitive Waves (produced by the Kitchen Sisters).
…and I’m guessing you don’t recognize it. I didn’t either.
Here’s a YouTube video by a vinyl record collector who found out about these x-ray records and was able to purchase one. He shows several vinyl records before getting to the x-ray type at about 6 min 15 seconds on the video.

In Warrior III, we’re instructed to feel ourselves reaching in all four directions – the crown of the head, the heel of the extended foot, each of the arms in opposition. But I’ve always found that I best achieve balance when I sense extending into 6 directions: east, west, north, south – and down to the center of the earth, rooting through the standing leg, and energy rising up through the standing hip into the sky, the ether, above. In this way of expansion, I gain greater access to my center – that place in my core which stabilizes my entire being.
Indigenous cultures recognize the four directions as typically affiliated with a season, an animal, the seasons, or one of the four natural elements: earth, wind, fire, water. Every tradition has its own take on the philosophy behind these elemental properties. My most recent journeys taught me how the Q’ero Shamans of Peru view the four directions.
In the Q’ero tradition, the south represents earth element and the serpent, which reminds us to shed old wounds that no longer serve us. The west represents the jaguar, which calls on us to track our fears and move honestly through our path. The hummingbird is associated with the north, and invites us magic and joy into our lives. Finally, the eagle represents the east, guiding wisdom and manifestation of highest purpose.
In her seminal work, Trauma Stewardship, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky applied knowledge of the five directions (that center direction that, according to ancient tradition, ties the underworld to the heavens) and created a guide for people who work with trauma. Therapists, coaches, healers, space-holders of all kinds are susceptible to taking on the suffering of those with whom they help recover from trauma.
The south, represented by earth element, implores us to build compassion and community. Think about how what you do creates systemic change. How can you increase compassion for yourself and for others? Who is your tribe that shares your same mission?
The west, the air element, is concerned with finding balance. Lipsky recommends we engage in life outside of work, practice gratitude, and find ways of moving energy through the body.
The north is associated with the water element and calls for us to create space for inquiry. Primary questions here are: Why am I doing what I’m doing? Is my own trauma being triggered here? Is this working for me?
The east, the fire element – that passion, refers to choosing focus. Be intentional with where you spend your time and energy. Are you choosing to pay attention to the positive or the negative in your evaluations? What is your plan B? – In other words, what would you do if you could no longer work in this capacity? By considering alternatives, we are reminded that what we are free to choose what we do and opens up possibilities, cultivates curiosity, and promotes solution-focused thinking.
the 5th direction consists of a daily centering practice (this can be any spiritual practice – meditation, being in nature, prayer, running, journaling, creating, etc).
How are you connecting with your center and expanding into your fullest expression today?

I've seen in the forum a lot of talk of Windows 10 IoT on the Up. What benefits / drawbacks / differences would there be from running a customised Win10Pro image with all the redundant services and processes taken out, compared to running the IoT version?
I've seen arguments for IoT use cases that Win10 IoT has networking and enterprise infrastructure benefits over Linuix / Android, but on this platform it's my opinion that you'd be crazy not to use a more complete OS that can run anything you want and customize it to your use, unless I'm missing something - does IoT use less power for example (with equivalent base OS), is there better hardware support in IoT? Am I missing something?
If the goal is to have a purpose-specific machine, than Win10 IoT will be more advantageous precisely because it provides only what is needed. This will also means it'll require less cpu power. However this doesn't necessary translate into better hardware support, at least not yet in the current market.

How much does a fuel drain cost in the North West or North Wales?
If you are reading this then the chances are you need a fuel drain, or just had one done and want to see if you’ve paid over the odds!
3) whether the car has been driven on the wrong fuel and needs a fuel system flush, which is a straightforward procedure but tankes longer than just draining the tank.
Usually the time of day or night does not really come into it, unless its a very unsocial hour, weekends, public holidays etc Our prices are all the same 365 days a year.
A dealer may charge £4000 to £9000 for major fuel system and engine rebuilding, parts etc which in our opinion is mostly unnecessary.
The AA does do fuel drains and have a fleet of mobile fuel draining vans, they do charge members and costs are around £230, they are quite often very busy and have long waiting times, even next day!
The RAC have a few fuel draining vans but we havent seen many in the North West area, they used to sub contract out most of their jobs to garages and fuel draining companies.
On some occasions dealerships will charge between 400 and 800 for a drain that does not involve pulling the engine to bits, but for some reason they often say they will take the tank off and swill it out.
Your local garage will charge about the same as a fuel draining company, but you would have to get the car to them.
And of course there is always the risky doing it yourself, or getting a mechanically minded friend to help out.
Ultimately the choice is yours, it is your vehicle at the end of the day and wether you choose a reputable qualified company or a garage that’s prepared to ‘have a go’ then good luck with your choice.
We cover the North West and North Wales and have been operating for 8 years… in that time we’ve seen so many companies come and go due to unreliability, price, unsocial hours etc that we decided early on to price fix the job so that whatever area we cover you the customer pay the same local rate price.

text: These are scary times for managers in big companies. Even before the Internet and globalization, their track record for dealing with major, disruptive change was not good. Out of hundreds of department stores, for example, only one—Dayton Hudson—became a leader in discount retailing. Not one of the minicomputer companies succeeded in the personal computer business. Medical and business schools are struggling—and failing—to change their curricula fast enough to train the types of doctors and managers their markets need. The list could go on.
