The New South Wales Government has abandoned a plan to build a new school at Ultimo in inner Sydney on a council-owned site, saying the remediation would cost too much.
But residents and the Mayor of Sydney said the school was desperately needed in an area with the highest density in Australia.
For 18 months, the Government has been working on plans for the school, to be built on Wattle Street, suitable for 1,000 students and including a childcare centre.
The property was once an industrial site, so it requires remediation works.
The Government said it had discovered those remediation works would cost $50 million - double the initial estimate.
"Full remediation of the Wattle, Jones and Fig streets site, plus costs for site acquisition and construction of a new Ultimo Public School would cost more than $177 million, as compared with $15 million to $30 million to build a standard primary school," the Education Department said a statement.
"To ensure future accommodation needs are met for the Ultimo/Pyrmont area, a complete new school will be built on the present primary school site."
Sydney's Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the decision was unbelievable.
"I can't understand it unless it's a political decision," she said.
"I mean the work has been done to show that the site meets the standard of the state's Contaminated Land Management Act so it meets the standard set by the State and yet the State is saying it won't go ahead with the site - pretty unbelievable."
Cr Moore said the City of Sydney was prepared to sell the site to the State Government at a discounted price because the area is desperate for a new school.
"Pyrmont/Ultimo is an area with the highest density in Australia," Councillor Moore said.
"There's been huge development there in the last couple of decades and a lot of stamp duty has gone to the Government and the Government really owes this community a much-needed school."
Elizabeth Elenius from Pyrmont Action Incorporated said it was devastating news.
"It really has come out of the blue; even as short a time ago as three weeks ago we were all invited to another planning consultation, and we were so excited about the whole new way of thinking about providing educational facilities," she said.
"What was promised was a primary school for up to 1,000 students, a childcare centre for 80 children, they were talking about an after school care facility as well as shared community facilities like a sports centre and a hall - they were looking at all sorts of innovative ideas."
Ms Elenius said the demand for a school would only increase as the area grows.
"The original plan recognised the population growth associated with the Bays Precinct Development project and other developments - I mean they're not planning ahead at all here," she said.
The Ultimo Public School P&C group has called an extraordinary meeting for Wednesday night with president Janine Barrett saying the news has left her "reeling".
"Our school will cease operation at the end of term 4 this year - the existing school is to be demolished and rebuilt as a high rise facility, possibly 10 stories, on the current site," she said.
"The Department at this stage do not have a clear idea of where our children will be educated during the redevelopment phase, although did mention in passing Wentworth Park or a yet to be identified location in Petersham."

Un scimitar este o sabie cu un singur tăiș, cu o lamă curbă convexă  asociată culturilor orientale. Termenul european scimitar nu se referă la un anumit tip de sabie, ci la un sortiment de diferite săbii curbate orientale. Aceste săbii includ simsir-ul persan (de la care vine cuvântului scimitar), saif-ul arab, talwar-ul indian, nimcha din Africa de Nord și kilij-ul turcesc, toate aceste săbii fiind inițial derivate din săbiile curbe dezvoltate anterior în Asia Centrală turcească (Turkestan).

Săbiile scimitar a fost larg răspândite în Orientul Mijlociu, cel puțin din perioada otomană până în epoca armelor de foc cu pulbere fără fum, care a relegat săbiile la îmbrăcăminte și la funcția ceremonială. Khhopesh-ul egiptean, adus în Egipt de hicsoși, semăna cu scimitarele.Khopesh-ul este uneori considerat un scimitar. Primele săbii din țările islamice erau de obicei drepte și cu două tăișuri, urmând tradiția armelor folosite de Profetul Mohamed.

Deși celebra sabie cu două tăișuri, Zulfiqar, mânuită de Ali avea un design curbat, acest design a fost probabil introdus în țările islamice centrale de războinicii turci din Asia Centrală, care au fost angajați ca gărzi de corp regale în secolul al IX-lea și o astfel de sabie din epoca abbasidă a fost descoperită în Marele Horasan. Acești războinici turci purtau un fel de sabie timpurie care fusese folosită în Asia Centrală încă din secolul al VII-lea, dar acestea nu au reușit să câștige mai multă atracție inițial din partea țărilor islamice. Există o singură sabie selgiucă care a supraviețuit din aproximativ anul 1200, ceea ce poate indica faptul că sub acel imperiu lamele curbate au cunoscut o oarecare popularitate. În urma invaziilor mongole din secolul al XIII-lea, săbiile curbate favorizate de cavaleria turcă au creat un impact de durată în mare parte din Orientul Mijlociu.

Adoptarea acestor săbii a fost progresivă, începând nu mult după cucerirea mongolă și a durat până în secolul al XV-lea. În timpul islamizării turcilor, kilij-ul a devenit din ce în ce mai popular în armatele islamice. Când Imperiul Selgiuc a invadat Persia și a devenit prima putere politică musulmană turcă din Asia de Vest, kilij-ul a devenit forma dominantă de sabie. Simsir-ul iranian a fost creat în timpul perioadei Imperiului Turcic Selgiuc din Iran.

Sabia (sau saif) este un simbol important în culturile arabe și este folosită ca metaforă în multe fraze în limba arabă.

În lucrările lui Shakespeare, scimitarul era un simbol pentru Orient și pentru lumea islamică.

Scimitarele au fost folosite în reprezentările artistice din secolul al XIX-lea ale bărbaților din Orientul Mijlociu. În secolul al XX-lea, acestea au fost adesea folosite pentru a indica faptul că un personaj era din Orientul Mijlociu și ocupa un rol de răufăcător.

\section{Introduction}

Graphene, a one-atom thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure,  has attracted a great research interest since its first successful experimental fabrication in 2004 \cite{Novoselov}. Such interest is due, for instance, to its intriguing physical properties and the wide range of potential applications \cite{RevModPhys.81.109,RevModPhys.82.2673,RevModPhys.83.407}. One of the most interesting features of graphene is that its low-energy electronic structure can be described by using a Dirac-type Hamiltonian. As a consequence, due to the fact that there is no energy gap in its electronic structure, the Klein tunneling \cite{Katsnelson,PhysRevB.73.241403} prevents charge carriers in graphene from being confined by an electrostatic potential. Thus, in order to use graphene in electronic devices, different ways of opening and controlling an energy gap in its electronic structure have been investigated and it remains a subject of great interest.

An energy gap can be induced in graphene, for instance, by substrate. A SiC substrate leads to the opening of a gap of $\approx 0.26$ eV in graphene \cite{SiC}, while a hexagonal boron nitride (\textit{h}-BN) substrate induces a gap of the order of 30 meV which depends on the commensurability between the two lattices \cite{guinea1,guinea2}. It is also possible to open and control an energy gap in graphene by doping, for instance, with boron \cite{bdg,bdg2} or nitrogen \cite{ndg} atoms as well as by strain engineering \cite{Pereira,Low,Guinea20121437}. Besides, it is possible to suppress the Klein tunneling creating confined states in graphene with a spatially modulated gap \cite{peres, Giavaras1,Giavaras2,PhysRevB.86.205422}, whereas the band structure of graphene can be engineered by applying an external periodic potential \cite{Ramezani,Sankalpa,Peeters,Barbier}. Even though different ways of controlling the energy gap in graphene have already been reported, in this paper we show the possibility of doing this with a modulated Fermi velocity.

The Fermi velocity plays an important role in the study of a material, since it carries information on a variety of fundamental properties. The potential application of graphene in electronic devices has motivated the examination of its Fermi velocity engineering. In contrast to a Galilean invariant theory such as Fermi Liquids, the Fermi velocity in graphene increases when electron-electron interactions increase, since graphene is described by an effective field theory that is Lorentz invariant \cite{Valeri}. By changing the carrier concentration in graphene the Fermi velocity can reach $\approx 3\times 10^6 $ m/s \cite{Elias}, whereas with weak electron-electron interactions the Fermi velocity is expected to be $0.85 \times 10^6$ m/s \cite{Hwang}. A modulation of the Fermi velocity can be obtained in graphene, for instance, by placing metallic planes close to the graphene sheet, which will turn electron-electron interactions weaker and, consequently, modify the Fermi velocity \cite{Polini,Yuan}. In this way, depending on how the metallic planes are arranged, it is possible to create regions with different Fermi velocity in graphene, thereby forming velocity barriers. A velocity barrier does not suppress the Klein tunneling in a perpendicular incidence of electrons and the transmittance is always equal to unity \cite{peres}. However, in a non-perpendicular incidence the electrons can be confined and the bound states serve as guide modes. The investigation of the transport properties of graphene with velocity barriers was done in Refs. ~[\cite{Polini,Yuan,Vasilopoulos2,Lei,Wang2013191,Wang2013186,Nian}].

In this paper we investigate the electronic structure of a single-layer graphene with a periodic velocity barrier by using an effective Dirac Hamiltonian. In contrast to the previous investigations, where the transport properties were analyzed, we will study the electronic properties and analyze the effects of a modulated Fermi velocity in the electronic band structure of graphene. In the case of a graphene with a constant energy gap, which includes the case of a gapless graphene, the periodic Fermi velocity changes only the shape of the electron and hole minibands. However, considering both an energy gap and a Fermi velocity modulations, it is possible to control the energy gap in graphene by tuning the Fermi velocity, which is an idea that can be used in the fabrication of graphene-based devices.

The paper is organized as follows. In Sec. II we obtain the dispersion relation for a single-layer graphene with a piecewise constant periodic energy gap and Fermi velocity by using an effective Dirac Hamiltonian. We discuss how this system can be realized experimentally. In Sec. III we analyze the electronic band structure of the system. We show that it is possible to control the energy gap in graphene by a modulated Fermi velocity. We explain in which conditions it happens. The paper is summarized and concluded in Sec. IV.

\section{Model}

The effective two-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonian for a single-layer graphene with a position dependent energy gap and Fermi velocity is written as
\begin{eqnarray}
H=-i\hbar \left(\sqrt{v_F(x)}\sigma_x \partial_x  \sqrt{v_F(x)} +v_F(x)\sigma_y \partial_y\right)  \nonumber \\
+\Delta(x)\sigma_z ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Delta(x)$ is half of the graphene energy gap, $\sigma_i$ are the Pauli matrices acting on the {\it pseudospin} related to the two graphene sublattices and $v_F(x)$ is the Fermi velocity. The first term on the Hamiltonian above is modified in relation to the usual Dirac operator for graphene in order to have a Hermitian operator \cite{peres}. We are considering that the Fermi velocity and the energy gap change only in the $x$ direction. In Fig. \ref{graphene} there is a schematic diagram of the graphene with a periodic energy gap and Fermi velocity. The graphene is deposited on a heterostructured substrate composed by two different materials, which can open different energy gaps in different regions of the graphene sheet that we will denote by $\Delta_1$ and $\Delta_2$. Metallic planes are placed close to graphene sheet which induce a periodic velocity barrier. The Fermi velocity in each region will be denoted by $v_1$ and $v_2$. The period of the system is $a+b$.

Metallic planes are placed close to graphene sheet which induce a periodic velocity barrier. The period of the graphene superlattice is $a+b$.}\label{graphene}
\end{figure}

The Dirac equation is given by
\begin{equation}
H\psi(x,y)=E\psi(x,y)
\end{equation}
where $\psi(x,y)$ is a two-component spinor that represents the two graphene sublattices. Writing
\begin{equation}
\psi(x,y)=e^{-ik_yy}\psi(x)
\end{equation}
and defining $\sqrt{v_F(x)}\psi(x) = \phi(x)$, the Dirac equation becomes
\begin{eqnarray}
-i\hbar v_F(x)\sigma_x\partial_x \phi(x)&+&\left[\Delta(x) \sigma_z \right. \nonumber \\
&-&\left. \hbar k_y \sigma_y \right]\phi(x)  =E\phi(x) \; ,
\end{eqnarray}
which can be written as
\begin{equation}
i\frac{d\phi(x)}{dx}=M(x)\phi(x) \; ,
\label{dirac}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
M(x)=\left(
\begin{array}{cc}
ik_y & \frac{-E-\Delta(x)}{\hbar v_F(x)} \\
\frac{-E+\Delta(x)}{\hbar v_F(x)} & -ik_y
\end{array} \right) \; .
\end{equation}
The solution of Eq. (\ref{dirac}) is given by
\begin{equation}
\phi(x)= \mathcal{P} \exp\left( -i\int_{x_0}^x dx' M(x') \right) \phi(x_0) \; ,
\end{equation}
where $\mathcal{P}$ is the path ordering operator, which places smaller values of $x$ to the right \cite{McKellar,Arovas}. $M(x)$ is a piecewise constant function, so if $x$ and $x_0$ belong to the space-homogeneous region, the solution above can be simplified as
\begin{equation}
\phi(x)=\Lambda(x-x_0) \phi(x_0)  ,
\label{solution}
\end{equation}
where $\Lambda(x-x_0) = \exp[-i(x-x_0)M(x)]$. Expanding this exponential, one can write
\begin{equation}
\Lambda(x-x_0) = \left(
\begin{array}{cc}
\cos\alpha + \frac{k_y}{k(x)}\sin\alpha & -i\sin\alpha \frac{-E-\Delta}{\hbar v_F(x) k(x)}\\
-i\sin\alpha \frac{-E+\Delta}{\hbar v_F(x) k(x)} & \cos\alpha - \frac{k_y}{k(x)}\sin\alpha
\end{array}\right) \; ,
\end{equation}
where $\alpha = (x-x_0)k(x)$ and $k(x)=([E^2-\Delta^2]/\hbar^2 v_F^2 - k_y^2)^{1/2}$. The wave function satisfies the Bloch theorem, so $\psi(a+b)=\exp[ik_x(a+b)]\psi(0)$, where $k_x$ is the Bloch wave vector. From Eq. (\ref{solution}) one can write $\phi(a+b)=\Lambda(a+b) \phi(0)$, which is equivalent to $\psi(a+b)=\Lambda(a+b) \psi(0)$, where $\Lambda(a+b)=\Lambda(b)\Lambda(a)$. Comparing this with the Bloch theorem one can see that
\begin{equation}
\det[\Lambda(a+b)-\exp[ik_x(a+b)]]=0 \; ,
\end{equation}
which yields the relation $2\cos k_x(a+b)= Tr[\Lambda (a+b)]$. Therefore, the dispersion relation is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\cos &&(k_x l)=\cos(k_1a)\cos(k_2b) \nonumber \\
&&+\frac{k_y^2\hbar^2 v_1v_2-E^2+\Delta_1 \Delta_2}{\hbar^2 v_1v_2k_1k_2}\sin(k_1a)\sin(k_2b) \; ,
\label{dispersion}
\end{eqnarray}
where $k_1=([E^2-\Delta^2_1]/\hbar^2 v_1^2 - k_y^2)^{1/2}$, $k_2=([E^2-\Delta^2_2]/\hbar^2 v_2^2 - k_y^2)^{1/2}$ and we have defined $l=a+b$. One can note that with $\Delta_1=\Delta_2=0$ and $v_1=v_2$, Eq. (\ref{dispersion}) becomes the liner dispersion relation for a single-layer graphene. The left-hand side of Eq. (\ref{dispersion}) limits the right-hand side to the interval $(-1,1)$. Thus, there will be allowed and forbidden values for the energy, which implies in the appearance of energy bands with gaps.

\section{Electronic Structure}

With the dispersion relation, let us now investigate the electronic structure of the system. In what follows, we will consider a constant period for the graphene superlattice equal to $60$ nm, which is an appropriate value for graphene. We will consider also that $a=b=30$ nm.

\begin{figure}[hpt
\centering
\includegraphics[width=8.5cm,height=4.1cm]{equalgap.eps}
\caption{The electron and hole minibands as a function of $k_x$ with $k_y=0$, $\Delta_1=\Delta_2$, $v_1=1\times 10^6$ m/s and $v_2=0.5 \times 10^6$ m/s (red line), $v_2=1\times 10^6$ m/s (black line) and $v_2=3\times 10^6$ m/s (blue line). $(a)$ A gapless graphene. $(b)$ A graphene sheet with an energy gap equal to 30 meV.}
\label{equalgap}
\end{figure}

In Fig. \ref{equalgap} the dispersion relation (\ref{dispersion}) is plotted for $\Delta_1=\Delta_2$, $v_1=1\times 10^6$ m/s and $v_2=0.5 \times 10^6$ m/s (red line), $v_2=1\times 10^6$ m/s (black line) and $v_2=3\times 10^6$ m/s (blue line). In Fig. \ref{equalgap} $(a)$ we consider a gapless graphene, whereas in Fig. \ref{equalgap} $(b)$ we consider a gapped graphene with an energy gap equal to $30$ meV. One can see that the periodic modulation of the Fermi velocity does not change the energy gap in a graphene sheet with a constant energy gap. In this case, a periodic Fermi velocity modulation only modifies the electron and hole minibands which could be narrower or less narrow than in the usual graphene. Therefore, it is the same of considering a constant Fermi velocity, changing only its value. This explains the fact that the electronic band structure of graphene with a periodic Fermi velocity has not been investigated so far. As it was already mentioned, since several fundamental properties of a material depend on the Fermi velocity, it plays an important role. However, the periodic modulation of the Fermi velocity in this case does not bring any new physics to graphene.

The electron and hole minibands for $\Delta_1=0$ and $\Delta_2=15$ meV are plotted in Fig. \ref{periodicgap}. In Fig. \ref{periodicgap} $(a)$ we consider again $v_1=1\times 10^6$ m/s and $v_2=0.5 \times 10^6$ m/s (red line), $v_2=1\times 10^6$ m/s (black line) and $v_2=3\times 10^6$ m/s (blue line). In this case, in contrast to the previous ones, it is possible to increase or decrease the energy gap in graphene with a periodic modulation of the Fermi velocity. In Fig. \ref{periodicgap} $(b)$ one can see how the electron and hole minibands change with the modulation of the Fermi velocity. The red lines show how the energy gap changes as a function of $v_1$ with $v_2=1\times 10^6$ m/s, whereas the blue lines reveal the change of the energy gap as a function of $v_2$ at $v_1=1\times 10^6$ m/s. It is possible to see that increasing the Fermi velocity in the graphene region with energy gap equal to zero, the energy gap of graphene decreases, whereas if one increases the Fermi velocity in the graphene region with energy gap different from zero, the graphene gap increases.

\begin{figure}[hpt
\centering
\includegraphics[width=8.5cm,height=4.1cm]{periodicgap.eps}
\caption{The electron and hole minibands for $\Delta_1=0$ and $\Delta_2=15$ meV. $(a)$ The energy as a function of $k_x$ with $k_y=0$, $v_1=1\times 10^6$ m/s and $v_2=0.5 \times 10^6$ m/s (red line), $v_2=1\times 10^6$ m/s (black line) and $v_2=3\times 10^6$ m/s (blue line). $(b)$ The red lines show how the energy gap changes as a function of $v_1$ with $v_2=1\times 10^6$ m/s, whereas the blue lines reveal the change of the energy gap as a function of $v_2$ at $v_1=1\times 10^6$ m/s. In this case the energy gap of graphene change with the Fermi velocity.}
\label{periodicgap}
\end{figure}

Considering that $\Delta_1 \neq \Delta_2$, the energy gap of the graphene superlattice will be a value between $2\Delta_1$ and $2\Delta_2$. It depends on the width of each region in graphene. In the limit when $a\gg b$ the energy gap of graphene goes to $2\Delta_1$, whereas when $a\ll b$ the energy gap of graphene goes to $2\Delta_2$. The periodic modulation of the Fermi velocity works at the same way. Increasing the Fermi velocity in a region of graphene is equivalent to decreasing the width of this region and keeping the Fermi velocity constant. So, in the limit when $v_1 \rightarrow \infty $ the energy gap of graphene goes to $2\Delta_2$, whereas when $v_2 \rightarrow \infty$ the energy gap of graphene goes to $2\Delta_1$. Therefore, it is possible to tune the energy gap of graphene $E_g$ in the range $2\Delta_1\leq E_g \leq 2\Delta_2$.

\section{Conclusions}

In this paper, we report the results of the electronic band structure of a single-layer graphene with a periodic modulation of the energy gap and Fermi velocity by using an effective Dirac equation. The energy gap is included in the Dirac Hamiltonian as a mass term, while it is necessary to modify the Hamiltonian in order to incorporate a position dependent Fermi velocity and have a Hermitian operator. In the case of a gapless graphene or a gapped graphene with a constant energy gap, the periodic modulation of the Fermi velocity works as a constant Fermi velocity turning the electron and hole minibands narrower or less narrow than in the usual graphene depending on the value of the velocity. However, considering a modulation of the energy gap we have shown that it is possible to control the energy gap of the graphene superlattice by a Fermi velocity modulation. We have show in which conditions it happens and in which range it is possible to tune the energy gap in graphene with the Fermi velocity. The results obtained here provide a new way of controlling the energy gap of graphene, which can be used in the fabrication of graphene-based devices.

Add the RowEditing event to your grid and in the event find the object by the id (preferible, store the object id in a grid column), update its data and save it again.
For editing:
using (PizzaParlor2Entities po = new PizzaParlor2Entities())
{
    var PizzaID = Convert.ToInt32(gvExOr.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Text.ToString());
    var oldPizza = po.Pizza.Find(PizzaID); // retrieve the object by the id
    // update the needed data
    oldPizza.Price =  gvExOr.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].Text.ToString();

    //save changes to DB
    po.SaveChanges();

}

For deleting:
using (PizzaParlor2Entities po = new PizzaParlor2Entities())
{
    var PizzaID = Convert.ToInt32(gvExOr.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Text.ToString());
    po.Pizza.Delete(p => p.PizzaID == PizzaID); // delete the object by the id
    //save changes to DB
    po.SaveChanges();

}

throughout life there are routines and changes that make the journey uncertain. the phrase becomes interesting in the musical context. There are projects whose soundness remains true to its principles and those that will change its musical evolution by shaping the various influences. the anathema are included in this last batch.
with profound changes since its beginning, the band has had a very interesting route that culminates in this eleventh album. the reflection of this intense work is evident in the melancholic and dark compositions that make up the disk. "The Optimist" is an extremely emotional album proving that the change operated over the past few years has been consistent.
excellent, engaging, addictive. .

Liverpool's Anathema, started out in the early '90s as strictly a doom metal outfit, with the requisite growled vocals and the trademark muddy sound, but when original singer Darren White left the band in 1995, with guitarist Vincent Cavanagh taking the reins, Anathema started their slow journey into completely uncharted (and unexpected) territory. In fact, Anathema's metamorphosis over the past decade is one of the most remarkable band transformations in recent memory, as album after album has sounded more and more progressive and melodic, in no small part fueled by Cavanagh's superb singing voice. 2001's A Fine Day to Exit, aided by excellent songs like Release and Pressure, was an artistic breakthrough, as the band completely shed themselves of their metal roots, while still putting out powerful, brooding atmospheric rock.
On 22 September 2020 the band announced that they would go on an indefinite hiatus.

Opěrák je stavební prvek mající podobu opěrného pilíře na vnější straně budovy. Často bývá několikrát odstupňovaný a může být zakončen i stříškou. Vyskytuje se v opěrných systémech například katedrál, zvláště pak u těch z doby gotiky. Jeho významem je zachytit šikmé tlaky klenby a hmotnost střechy. Na katedrálních stavbách vytváří opěrný systém volně stojící opěráky v jedné až dvou řadách ozdobené fiálami. S vlastní stavbou jsou navíc spojené pomocí šikmých opěrných oblouků, které mohou být zdobeny kraby a liliemi.

FROM JAMIE: AN OPEN WINDOW and a Red Head Girl ..... Every morning without a day missed you can see Tyler, a 16 year old red head girl, standing at the window of her playroom looking outside. The neighbors wave and say hello to her as they leave for work to begin their day. She has become a part of their day most every day.
Yes, its true – Tyler wakes up in the morning between 5:30am and 7:00 am and goes straight upstairs into her playroom, OPENS THE WINDOW and greets the world! One neighbor has moved and gone back to their home town in Missouri and no longer to be seen. I imagine Tyler misses their dogs that she liked to watch play out in their yard every morning. Not to fret though, they have been replaced with construction workers across the street – lol! The school buses drive by and pick up neighborhood kids and head to school. She stands at the window and watches for anything and everything that is going on in that moment. She doesn't want to miss a thing. She loves to watch the trees and the wind so peacefully moving the branches. She greets the world when the sun is shining bright and when the morning is cloudy or rainy. Its just an OPEN WINDOW and she decides what she wants to see….
This daily routine of Tyler's mornings has taught me a few things. Wouldn't it be great if every single morning when we awoke we OPENED A WINDOW. We saw the world just as it is in that moment. We weren't stressed about the day ahead. We dropped all worries. And just enjoyed the scenery and everything around us and felt the peacefulness that surrounds us. We could know that change is continuous, leaving room for new experiences. We can greet the world with a smile, a wave, a hello, a hug, an I love you, and so on ~ each and every day and not miss a day.


Upgrade your pool equipment to take advantage of the latest technology and energy efficiency savings.
It's a warm summer day. Family and friends are gathered in your back yard. Chicken and steaks sizzle on the grill while music plays from your outdoor speakers. These are the best of times.
The pumps stop circulating water. An electrical problem shuts down the lights. The day's fun has come to an end because something has gone wrong with your pool.
There's no other way to say it: equipment repair and replacement comes with the territory when you own a pool. These are complex systems with many complicated parts. And, at times, those parts will need your attention.
Thankfully, at Austin Pool Specialists, we offer a full suite of repair services and top of the line upgrades for all of your pool repair and maintenance needs. Whether we're repairing existing equipment or using the opportunity to breathe some new life into an older setup, we are the premier provider of Austin-area pool equipment repair and upgrades.
Your old pool pump is tired. It's been working around the clock, day after day, month after month, and year after year. The problem is that it has also been using far more than its fair share of electricity.
Our selection of high-efficiency pool pumps will circulate more water in your pool and use less energy to do it. We can evaluate your needs based on the volume of water in your pool, recommend a solution, and even install it for you. Rest easy knowing that the right pump for your pool was installed by the experts – and it's saving you money every minute of the day.
The average winter daytime high in Austin is 67 degrees. Can you imagine living anywhere else? Still, that's a touch chilly for an afternoon dip.
Our pool heaters will keep you in your pool any time you want, all year long. Operating with the same modern efficiency as our pool pumps, we'll make sure you can get in your pool any time, January through December, without paying a fortune in energy bills.
If trying to heat your pool during the coldest months of the year sounds like a bit too much, pool heaters can also be used to simply extend swimming season a little longer (or make it come earlier).
Create a waterfall at the touch of a button. Transform your entire pool into a Technicolor wonder with multicolor lights at the flip of a switch. Adjust temperature and jet speeds to suit your needs for any particular moment.
Pool automation can create custom environments based entirely on your specifications. One minute your pool is calm and tranquil – perfect for a barbecue or a family gathering. Later in the night however, turn the music up and enjoy the party while your guests enjoy spa jets and splash under the waterfall as your lights change to the beat.
Our experts can make these, and any number of other scenarios happen. We'd love to discuss the possibilities with you. Contact Austin Pool Specialists today.

> Transactional analysis: Ego states explained
Transactional analysis
Transactional analysis: Ego states explained
By a verified Counsellor or Therapist
Published on 3rd October, 2015
The strength of transactional analysis (TA) is that it has both simplicity and depth. Its simplicity lies in its accessible language.
Let's take the most fundamental of TA concepts, ego states. Ego states refer to frames of mind we are in (encompassing thoughts, feelings and behaviour) at a given time. Whilst each of us probably has thousands of ego states that change constantly, according to TA theory they all fit into one of three categories: parent, sdult and child.
Parent refers to sets of feelings, behaviours and thoughts we borrowed from our parents or other influences from outside (older siblings, teachers, religious leaders might be examples).
Adult refers to the thoughts feelings and behaviours appropriate to the here and now.
Child refers to thoughts feelings and behaviours that we might replay from our childhood.
Hence, when we are playful we may be replaying a time when we were having fun in our childhood, and may be in child. We might also be in child when we are sulking or throwing an angry tantrum, behaving as we did at other times in childhood.
When we are protecting someone vulnerable, or telling someone off for bad behaviour we may be borrowing thoughts feelings and behaviours from authority figures: we may be in parent.
When we are solving a problem, or responding to an issue in the here and now we might be said to be in adult.
The beauty of the model is that people intuitively understand the concepts very quickly and accurately discuss which ego state they may have been in at given times.
When people's lives are not going as they would like, it is often because they are operating from parent or child at times when they assumed they were in adult. A little digging can uncover why the origin of their ego states and why they may be using them.
Ego state theory then goes deeper with a second order structure. When we are in child we may be acting in a way that we thought our parents wanted us to behave when we were children. For instance we might have been told "not to answer back" to our parents. As a child we may have interpreted this as an instruction not to think for ourselves. We may have decided (perhaps unconsciously) that the best way to go through life is to rely on others and not to think for ourselves. We are then said to be acting from our parent in the child.
At other times we might be acting from the child in the child, the adult in the child, the child in the parent, the adult in the parent or the parent in the parent.
TA has various other concepts which all fit into a larger theory of the mind. They are all accessible and connect with other psychologies such as humanistic and psychodynamic therapies.
By helping us to understand how and why we behave, think and feel in certain ways, TA can help us reflect and then make choices to do things differently.

The Entrepreneurial Paradox is a fascinating read for those interested in this specialist area. The book clearly explores the synergy between theory and experience using case studies throughout to illustrate points made.
The book combines psychological theory with business practice, examining areas such as decision-making, cognitive learning, heuristics and biases, and explores the methodology behind combining these areas together. Theoretical perspectives are brought out and explored in early chapters and show the development of themes central to the book's research aims.
Using narrative from interviews combined with the findings from various sources of literature, the author powerfully gets behind the thought process of the entrepreneur. She provides real-world issues and how these were solved, so it is fascinating for an occupational psychologist to read.
Later chapters examine time and conceptual frameworks around business growth, again, using evidence from qualitative data. There is also an interesting reflective view specifically on leadership within an entrepreneurial context. This is presented in quite a short chapter, which is a shame as some of the concepts drawn out of the research, such as leader–member exchange and transformational leadership, could have had much more input from the qualitative data and had even greater narrative. The book concludes by bringing together all the strands and suggesting further areas for research.
For some, the academic base of this work may be off-putting; it does read like a PhD thesis in many places. However, it offers a fascinating insight into entrepreneurial thinking, which is often different to managerial thinking as the book readily explores.

Wysokie Bereście (894 m) – szczyt w północno-wschodniej części Gór Leluchowskich. Wraz z pobliskim szczytem Bereście (869 m) tworzą samotny masyw nie łączący się z innymi wzniesieniami Gór Leluchowskich. Wysokie Bereście jest zwornikiem. Odchodzą od niego trzy grzbiety: jeden w południowo-zachodnim kierunku do Bereścia, drugi w północno-zachodnim kierunku, trzeci we wschodnim. Są trzy grzbiety, są więc także trzy doliny i trzy spływające nimi potoki. Spod Wysokiego Bereścia spływają potoki: Pusta, dopływ Pustej (tzw. Doliną Borsuczą) i Zimny Potok. Na wschodnim grzbiecie Wysokiego Bereścia (potem zakręcającym w kierunku północno-wschodnim) istniała długa grzbietowa polana, jeszcze zaznaczana na niektórych mapach. Dawniej były to tereny zamieszkałe przez Łemków. Od czasu ich wysiedlenia (w 1947 w ramach Akcji Wisła) polana zdążyła już zarosnąć lasem.

European carbon market slumps after COP 21
By Aline Robert | EURACTIV.fr | translated by Samuel White
The steel industry, a very energy-intensive sector, is covered by the EU ETS. [Marcel Oosterwijk/Flickr]
Languages: Français
The Paris climate agreement failed to have the desired impact on the European carbon market. Prices have fallen on the EU's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) since the agreement was signed in December. EURACTIV France reports.
The price of European Emissions Allowances (EUA), a carbon quota system used by 12,000 industrial sites, fell to €7.60 per tonne of CO2 on Thursday (7 January), its lowest level in six months. Before COP21, the price was €8.60.
This was not how it was supposed to be. After two weeks of negotiations last December, representatives from 190 countries signed a deal to halt the progression of CO2 emissions.
Many heads of state and business leaders have repeated calls to set a carbon price, and a number of governments committed to ambitious carbon market and pricing policies.

A market with a short-term view
"The Paris agreement can only give a general feeling to the market, and this feeling is largely positive. But the decisions that have been taken concern the post-2020 period, and the market works in the short term," explained Andrei Marcu, the head of the Carbon Market Forum at the think tank CEPS.
Energy prices have dropped sharply since COP21. Gas and electricity prices have fallen across Europe, and the price of oil has fallen by almost $10 a barrel. But the evolution of the carbon quota price is closely linked to the cost differential between gas and coal: lower gas prices make it a more attractive fuel for generating electricity, rather than burning coal, requires energy companies to buy more carbon quotas.
And the exceptionally mild winter we are experiencing in the northern hemisphere has also played a role in bringing down energy prices, by cutting the demand for heating.
Uncertainty over the market stability reserve
The carbon market's woes have been compounded by a climate of legal uncertainty. On 30 December 2015, Poland announced its intention to take the European Commission to court over its plans to introduce a market stability reserve to the EU ETS.
The aim of this mechanism is to push up the carbon price by temporarily removing quotas from the market. But the new Polish government, which seems determined to become fully dependent on coal, has strongly objected. This decision will cause friction with many other EU member states, which are actively trying to reduce their dependence on coal.
>>Read: Jerzy Buzek: 'Let's not be hypocrites' about coal
But the idea of a legal challenge, which has yet to be lodged by the country, could further destabilise the market, according to the Court of Justice of the EU. If the market stability reserve was compromised, the supply of quotas would be more abundant, and prices would fall further.
The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was brought into action on 1 January 2005. It was conceived to help reach the Kyoto Protocol objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 8% by 2012, using emissions limits for energy-intensive industries like steel, cement and electrical generation.
The EU ETS allows member states to distribute CO2 emissions quotas to authorised industries. These industries can then exchange the pollution permits amongst themselves, on the condition that they respect their own national emissions limits.
The revised directive, adopted under the 2008 climate and energy legislative package, changed the ETS from a system of free allocations to an auction for the electrical industry in 2013.
Certain exceptions were made for high-energy industries with strong international competition, such as steel. Increased costs in Europe could lead to the sector leaving the continent altogether.

For Eric Darius there are no limitations when it comes to breaking new ground. Internationally known as an elite Jazz/R&B/Pop Saxophonist, Songwriter, Producer, and Performer, Darius recently dropped, "L.O.V.E Feat. Brian Culbertson" the third single from his seventh studio album, Breakin' Thru, which debuted at #2 on the iTunes Top 40 Jazz Albums Chart.
This project is an extra special milestone for Darius as it is his first release via his own independent label, SagiDarius Music. The title track and debut single for Breakin' Thru has been a staple on Contemporary Jazz radio reaching #1 on the Billboard Charts, as well as his second single Dare 2 Dream, which reached the Top 5 on the Billboard Charts.
Breakin' Thru features 10 original songs with co-production by Darius, Rodney Jones, Jr. (Chris Brown, Mary Mary, Mary J. Blige) and Butta N' Bizkit (John Legend, Ne-Yo, Miguel, Ledisi). Eric is currently on a worldwide tour promoting the Breakin' Thru album, dazzling audiences globally with his dynamic show.
About his foray into independence, Darius says, "I'm was really excited to finally release an album on my own record label. The timing just felt right after 15 years in the music business. Seeing how the music industry has changed over the years, I thought it was time to take a leap of faith and take complete advantage of the new technology and social media that is now at my disposal – putting the music entirely back into my own hands, giving me creative freedom, and giving the audience and fans a direct experience exactly the way I hear and feel it with no restrictions. Breakin' Thru is about breaking down all of the walls, barriers and boundaries, and just making good, uplifting music. It's not about genres. When you listen to this project, you'll hear so many elements from Hip-Hop, to R&B, Pop, Rock, Gospel, Funk, and Reggae. I don't want to be caged or boxed in musically. The project is a true and honest representation of myself as an artist and reflects my growth as a person, musician and songwriter."
Not only was the recording of Breakin' Thru a liberating experience for Darius creatively, it honed his skills as an entrepreneur. "I studied both music and business while attending the University of South Florida. I've always been in tune to the business aspect of music. But now that I'm overseeing everything from the music, production, marketing, budgeting, distribution to manufacturing of this project, it's been intensified to where I have to ensure every "T" is crossed and every "I" dotted. I feel like I've learned so much from the entrepreneurial side of things in this process and it will only benefit me down the line in all facets of the music industry."
Eric Darius was born in Livingston, New Jersey, raised in Tampa, Florida, and now resides in Los Angeles, CA. He grew up in a very musical family to a Haitian father, who is a bass player and Jamaican mother, who is a singer and piano player. That Caribbean influence was passed down to Eric and his siblings. His older brother is a drummer and trumpet player, and his sister sings and plays clarinet.
"I first fell in love with the saxophone as a 9-year-old and began playing at the age of 10," Eric recalls. "By the time I was 11, I started touring worldwide with Sonny LaRosa and America's Youngest Jazz Band and playing Caribbean music in our family band. It's truly a blessing to be from a family that not only supports my passion for music but has also given me so many opportunities to nurture my God-given gift and pursue a career in it."
While growing up, Darius was also influenced by Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Marvin Gaye, George Benson, James Brown, David Sanborn, Miles Davis, Bob Marley, and Grover Washington Jr., among many others. While still in high school, at the age of 17, he recorded and released his first album titled, Cruisin', which would lay the ground work for his seven full-length albums. In 2004, Darius signed his first record deal with Higher Octave Music, after label representatives saw him perform and wow the audience at Florida's Clearwater Jazz Festival. This resulted in the release of his national debut album, Night on the Town later that year. In 2006, Darius released his third project, Just Getting Started through Narada Jazz. In 2008, he released Goin' All Out (Blue Note Records), in 2010 On A Mission and 2014 Retro Forward (both through Shanachie Entertainment).
With seven highly-acclaimed albums to his discography, Darius continues to rack up some impressive statistics: Three No. 1 Hit Singles; Twelve Top 10 Radio Hits on Nielsen's R&R/Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart; 2004's Debut Artist of the Year by Smooth Jazz News Magazine; named 2015's SESAC Top 10 Jazz Artist of the Year; 2017's Best Jazz, Saxophonist, Composer, Producer & Musician of the Year Award at the 1st Annual Citril Starz Awards; featured on countless magazine covers; with many more milestones and honors to come.
Darius has made TV Appearances on Fox's The X-Factor, TNT's Mob City, and has shared the stage with Grammy â award-winning artists Prince, Mary J. Blige, David Foster, Carlos Santana, Jamie Foxx, Babyface, George Benson, Marcus Miller, Wyclef Jean, and many others.
Darius believes in giving back to today's youth in the form of education. His On A Mission in the Schools initiative include making regular appearances to speak and perform with students from elementary and middle schools to high schools and at the college level. "I benefited greatly from the music-arts programs, and education is very important to me," says Darius. "I'm an advocate for music in the schools and I want to help keep it alive. It's important to me to expose kids to Jazz, encourage them to follow their dreams and inspire them to play musical instruments. I feel I have a responsibility to pay it forward, encourage the next generation and help preserve the future of music."

Casey Martin undergoes leg amputation
Former PGA Tour player Casey Martin, who made golfing headlines back in 2000 when he successfully sued the PGA Tour for the right to use a golf buggy to play in professional tournaments, has had his right leg amputated.
Martin, 49, has suffered from a circulatory disorder called Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome since birth which makes walking difficult. He broke his leg in an accident outside his home two years ago, but the injury failed to heal properly, leading to the need for the amputation, which was just above the knee.
Martin is currently Oregon State's men's coach, and role he has held since 2006, but he will take an absence of leave while he recovers from the operation.
Martin famously sued the PGA Tour – and won – for the right to use a cart because of his disability, a case that made its way to the Supreme Court.
"I've lived with this fear all my life that if I break it, I'm probably going to lose it," said Martin, who was on the same golf team as Tiger Woods at Stanford University and won his PGA Tour card at the end of the 1999 season. "In many ways I've exceeded what my doctors told me as a kid. I always felt this would be my destiny, so while it's weird to be at this point, it's not unexpected."

Stealth Evangelization
Father Ian Boyd on Vatican Radio--
Vatican Radio's Veronica Scarisbrick recently caught up with Father Ian Boyd of the Congregation of the Priests of Saint Basil, President of the G.K.Chesterton Institute for Faith and Culture.
In this interview Father Boyd is asked in a special way to comment on Chesterton as a journalist, the ' rollicking journalist' this prolific author thought himself to be, as well as how his know- how of journalism might come across today in our media savvy world .
According to Father Boyd, Chesterton who died in 1936 was prophetic in his writings, for example he had predicted that the next great heresy would be an attack on morality and especially sexual morality: "... he said not to be so afraid of the Russians and the Bolsheviks, because the madness of tommorrow is far more in Manhattan than in Moscow"...
In this interview Father Boyd remarks how Chesterton believed that a consumerist culture had a greater power to undermine morality than any totalitarian system: "he said that when real evil comes it always comes from within "..
Asked by Veronica Scarisbrick whether Chesterton saw Christ as the remedy to the brokenness of humanity Father Boyd replies that this author : "..salutes Christ as the everlasting man . He was a sacramental writer, that's to say he was religious writer who hardly ever spoke about religion.
His wife Frances once said to him : "Why don't you write about God?". And he replied : ' I write about nothing else' .
That's stealth evangelisation. That is he spoke through symbols and through signs, he loved riddles and allegories and believed the deepest truths could only be expressed through parables ..."

Tag: The Hobbit
November 20, 2012 / Neil Kramer / 22 Comments
For years, I've been complaining about the superficial nature of online friendships, my boredom with trading quips about pop culture or the ubiquitous "liking" of each other's drunken photos on Instagram?
Real friends look at each other. They interrupt each other as they speak. There are moment of silence. There are shared cups of coffee.
But there is a major obstacle to transforming many of favorite virtual friendships into real ones.
In the eighth grade, our class had a substitute English teacher. He was a strange guy, a former hippy and a black belt in karate. Rather than teaching us anything about grammar, he told us about the U.S. military-industrial complex and the importance of "bringing it down." Most of us had no idea what he was talking about.
One afternoon, at the end of his class, the teacher took me aside.
"I notice you read a lot," he said.
"Yeah, I like books," I replied.
"I'm going to give you a book that will BLOW YOU AWAY. It is my favorite book."
He handed me a hardcover copy of this bizarre fantasy novel that, on first glance, looked rather dumb. It involved imaginary characters in a world called Middle Earth. The book was called "The Hobbit."
If you are a long-time reader of Citizen of the Month, you now understand why my grammar is stuck in the seventh grade. I never learned grammar in the eighth grade. I spent the year reading "The Lord of the Rings."
The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins as he reluctantly takes a journey from safety into a world of dragons, adventure, war, and treasure.
The book taught me a lesson — everyone must take a journey into the unknown. It is the only way to gain maturity and wisdom. I learned this in the eighth grade, and promptly forgot the advice for decades, preferring to live in safety, like the home-loving Bilbo Baggins.
I fear adventure. You never know what God has planned for you along the way — a storm, a romance, a shipwreck, or death by eating blowfish a an exotic restaurant. And if you dare raise your fist towards God, angrily shouting, "How could you do this to me?" He will just laugh at you and say, "Sorry, Charlie, but YOU planned your own trip. It was your choice. So get off my back."
I fear choice. But I'm trying to change.
Every year, on the New Year, there are celebrations around the world, ringing in the new year, starting with the first time zone, in New Zealand. New Zealand is the beautiful, mystical country where they filmed The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.
Next month, like Bilbo Baggins, I will be making a journey. I will be travelling to New Zealand to visit my good online friend, Juli, and share a cup of coffee.
So, this year, the Seventh Annual Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert will be broadcast from NEW ZEALAND!
The concert sign-up sheet — later in the week.
Update: Today, Juli tried to dissuade me from taking my big adventure with this dire warning.
"There are no bagels in New Zealand," she said.
Ha! Like that old trick would stop me. I'm not a sucker. I have a secret weapon called "Google." — Brooklyn Bread and Bagels, Wellington, New Zealand.

Tiles. It's usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think about a kitchen backsplash. Tiles are great and they do the job well, but you don't have to be limited to them. If you're planning to update your kitchen, check out these creative materials that will make your kitchen backsplash more eye-catching.
If you're going for a French country vibe, then a bead board backsplash is perfect. Bead boards are affordable, versatile, and durable. Painted in soft colors, they make kitchens feel light and airy. These boards are sold in individual planks, so measure the wall space to determine how many you'll need. Check out Thrifty Décor Chick's bead board backsplash for inspiration.
Stones not only effectively deflect water; they also add warmth and texture to the kitchen. You can use floor pebbles or stone tiles, then caulk them and leave to dry for 24 hours. How to Nest for Less used rectangular stone tiles in a gray and orange color palette that looks amazing whether in natural or artificial light.
For a kitchen backsplash that suits any decorating scheme, tin tiles are a great option. Stains don't stick on the surface, so clean-up won't be a problem. Tin tiles are also offered in decorative styles, and can even be the focal point in your kitchen. To set up your own tin tile backsplash, check out this how-to from HGTV.
If you want something fresh and unusual, use mirrors. They're easy to clean, deflect water well, and make the kitchen space look bigger than it really is. A mirror backsplash looks great for the wall behind your stove or sink. You can also use them for the entire area to create a beautiful and functional modern kitchen. This mirror backsplash by Finding My Muchness features mirrored coasters and hand-cut clear beveled tiles as gap filling.
Unlike ordinary wallpaper, vinyl wallpaper repels water and can easily be wiped down to clean off spatters of sauces and oil. They're easy to install and available in different designs. Changing it out takes minimal effort, especially when you want to redecorate your entire kitchen area. This tutorial from Family Handyman lists down the ways to install a vinyl wallpaper backsplash.
Contact paper is an ideal solution if you're looking for a quick backsplash makeover for your kitchen. It has a variety of designs to choose from and an adhesive back that sticks to your wall with no problem. Cleaning is also a breeze and you can just peel it off when you need to change it. This how-to from Remodelaholic shows a step-by-step installation guide.
Much like mirrors, a glass backsplash makes your kitchen appear modern and sleek. It looks clean, well put together, and instantly freshens up your space. You can paint the back of the glass to add more color to your kitchen, like this UK-based home featured on Houzz. The emerald green glass backsplash is positively beautiful against the oiled oak counters and stainless steel double sink.
Chalkboard paint is inexpensive, simple, and easy. It's also a fun way to jot down reminders, recipes, or messages to your family. Convenience is also a plus since you can just wipe the board down to clean.
Usually used in garages for easy organization, pegboards can also be utilized as a kitchen backsplash. Pegboards serve a dual purpose as they protect your kitchen walls from water and food splashes, but also provide additional storage space. With some hooks and pegs, you can hang up your spices, pots, and spatulas near the stove, or your mugs and dishware by the sink. You can also paint them in any color to complement your kitchen decor. This in-depth tutorial from DIY Network will teach you how to properly install a pegboard backsplash for your kitchen.
If you want an easy alternative for your backsplash, a wooden pallet will do the trick. It looks homey, clean, and can complement your cupboards. To give it a beautiful sheen, paint over it or cover it with lacquer. You can also apply a clear, water-based wax finish to protect it from food splatter. Follow this DIY tutorial by Remodelaholic on how to install a wooden pallet backsplash.
If you've ever wondered why most restaurant and hotels have stainless steel kitchens, that's because steel is durable, easy to clean, and looks pristine for a long time. It's minimalist and utilitarian, perfect if you want a modern and industrial design for your own kitchen. Check out this feature on Decoist about stainless steel backsplashes.
Consider these ideas if you want to remodel your kitchen. Which ones appeal the most to you? Do you have other creative materials in mind? Share your thoughts!

If you're looking for a car with cheaper running costs, one way to do this is to ensure you pick a model which has low emissions and low insurance group.
The Volkswagen Polo 1.2 is amongst the cheapest cars to insure as these models fall into car insurance group 4 out of 50. The latest Volkswagen Polo is solid, stylish, excellently engineered and looking a lot like a little Volkswagen Golf. Emissions are low and miles per gallon are high. It is a desirable and popular supermini with a great image which results in favoured resale values.
The new Toyota iQ fits in to insurance group 3. Costs are so low, the manual Toyota iQ is in the free road tax band, economy is excellent the 1.0 engine returning an impressive 65mpg. The Toyota iQ isn't just a car; it is an ingenious transport solution and lifestyle statement now with the added award of Green Car of the Year.
The new Peugeot 107 Urban Lite is also in the insurance group 3. The Peugeot 107 Lite has a very economical 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine with a combined-cycle fuel consumption figure of 62.8mpg which is an improvement of 2% over the original version of this car. CO2 emissions are also reduced in the latest version to just 106g/km (previously 109g/km), retaining the low £35 road tax 'B' banding.
The Fiat 500 1.2i is another supermini that offers low insurance. The Fiat 500 comes with Start&Stop which further reduces it Co2 emissions down to 110g/km. This car comfortably seats four people and is fantastic value to the consumer as well as being one of the greenest cars in its class.


The issue can be reproduced when generating the Adhoc Report on Goal Field Labels if the instance contains more than 1 Goal Plan that shares the same Field Label ID.
The "Finished 2" label will appear in the Adhoc report as this field label is taken from the "2017 Goal Plan (Bonus)" plan because it has the lowest template ID (4) of all the active Goal Plans that share the same field definition ID (done).
It is best practice to avoid the creation of Goal plans with identical field definition IDs that have a different field label defined.


The OASE Biotec Screenmatic2 18000 Large Pond Filter System is a multi-stage pond filter designed for large fish ponds and ponds with heavier fish load. The first stage in OASE pond filters directs the flow into the pond filter into a 300 micron mesh screen which removes course and fine debris from the water to increase biological activity in the next stages. This mesh screen automatically cleans itself every 15 minutes to drastically reduce maintenance and keep the filter operating at peak efficiency.

With the Florida primary now over, things are about to get white hot in at least one local Congressional race.
U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Jupiter, and businessman Patrick Murphy are seeking election to Florida's newly-drawn18th Congressional District seat. Last week, a pro-Murphy PAC, organized by Murphy's father, ran an unsavory attack ad depicting West in a boxing ring punching out elderly white women.
Generally, challengers for office are the ones who suggest debates — not incumbents. Incumbents have everything to lose; challengers can only gain. If an incumbent makes a bad showing at a debate, he can lose credibility and the advantage he had just by being an incumbent. If a challenger bests the incumbent, his star can suddenly rise.
When I think of great local debates, I think of Oct. 12, 2010, when "dumb Neanderthal soldier" West debated "smart Congressman-lawyer" Ron Klein at Lynn University in Boca Raton. West eviscerated Klein, and from that moment forward, the election's outcome was never in doubt.
Will Murphy accept the West challenge? I have no idea. If he declines he risks being labeled a coward; if he says yes, he risks being called the fool. But before Murphy decides, he should have a talk with former Congressman Klein. He won't be hard to find — Murphy only has to follow the drag marks left by Klein's tail after that debate.

Friday, November 23rd! - Calgary PoF All-Stars (and newbs) Bowling and Karaoke!!!
So .. I guess there will be no more Saturday night bowling.. they have moved to Fright nights..
I am soooooo in! Had a great time last time!
Oh yeah, I forgot... did you know that it's still $8.00 even if you bring your own shoes?
I'm not going to argue that point For sure we're getting a deal at Toppler.
I've taken my Little Man (aka DirtBall) to Frank Sisson's bowling alleys and they want $30 an hour for the lanes plus shoe rental. If we go hard at it, we can squeeze in two games in a half an hour... that's still 7.50 per person.
I will bring a friend with me as well.
Another newbie to POF and this looks like a good event to meet some new people.
Might I take your place then, Mr. Chi? I guess I'm asking if a true newb can join you all.
So say I wish to attend and participate in the secret santa is it at the Bowling lane or at the stonegate ?and if so by what time need I be ther to do so? I feel i will not be able to make it on time for the bowling if its right at 730 but perhaps by 830 if I get lucky with timing and such.
Two if you count that afternoon nap!!
Whoever offers the most free drinks for him gets to unwrap him?... interesting!
I, too, would like to thank our terrific hosts, Cuddles and Ginger for their hard work in making the event the success it was. I only wish I could have stayed for the karaoke, but I have some exams to complete this weekend and one must set priorities sometimes. I'm pretty new to Calgary so it was fun to meet some fun people and share a couple of laughs. I hope to make another event in the near future. Thanks all for making me feel welcome!
Hey everyone, if anyone has info on a missing camera please let me know...it was left on the table behind the chairs on lane 16. Thx so much...see you all on the 8th.

We made a small revision to remove the corn syrup from this recipe. It tastes plenty sweet and that's one less ingredient!
We love this recipe at our house. We do skip the corn syrup and add 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple juice. Reducing the sugar to 1/2 cup is still delicious and very sweet. We top with low-fat vanilla yogurt.
This recipe is very delicious. Would be perfect for fall.

Q: Wordpress - How to import html code into a page? What I would like to do is have a html form that I will place at the end of most of my pages. I am not planning to have it on every page, but most.
Edit: I realized after posting that I didn't make it clear enough that I don't mean in the footer, but something I would like to add on the page itself.
Of course I could simply copy in the full html and css code at the bottom of the pages I want it on. However I know there is a better and cleaner way to have my html form and css in one file and then either through making a plugin, use of short code, html code or some other option I'm not aware of, import the html code into the page.
So what would be a good approach to accomplish this?
Thanks for any help.

A: A simple way to do this would be to create a custom page template that includes the form and just select that template when you need it.
This approach would not work well if you're already utilizing more than one page template. See @Hakem's answer if that is the case.

A: Custom Fields could help? this is the fastest way i could think of. Alternatively you could use shortcodes
edit page.php file and add the following in the loop:
<?php if(get_post_meta(get_the_id(),"add_custom_form", TRUE)){ ?>

some custom html here

<?php } ?>

Then go to the pages you want to add the form to, and add a custom field "add_custom_form" with any value.


It was easy to see the level of diligence written across the young actor's face as well as his ability to simultaneously maintain a certain level of silliness and seriousness. This is a trait that August most likely carries with him onto the set of his current project, the hit Disney-channel series "Girl Meets World".
August worked on a variety of shows including the likes of "Weeds", "Bones", and much more. The adorable, curly-haired boy can also be found in other shows as a minor role and many commercials. It is obvious that upon meeting him that his bubbly nature is portrayed just as well in real life as on the screen. The team was extremely excited to have August grace the pages of Posh Magazine. This talented kid is certainly going places- and he knows it!
