Startups of The Week
"The Idea is just the beginning" TheEmployable talks to ShellLive Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Michael Korn
By theemployable ⋅ November 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment
Filed Under entrepreneur, field sales job, GEW, Global Entrepreneurship Week, Kwickscreen, Michael Korn, Shell LiveWIRE, startup, theemployable, young entrepreneur
Ten days ago we highlighted this years 8 finalists of the prestigious ShellLive Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, and now today, I was sat talking over the phone with Michael Korn, the winner, inventor of KwickScreen, who went home with not only the accolade, but the 10k prize!
I had contacted Michael via email the evening of the awards, to ask if he would do an interview in time for Global Entrepreneurship Week. He quickly got back to me the next
morning to confirm he would be happy to help; which helps a little to explain the speedy
growth that his business has had over the last 18 months. KwickScreen has quickly
established itself as a cost-effective solution to the problem of providing privacy and isolation in hospital wards. In essence it acts as a 'room divider', which can be moved and removed, and used whenever required, as opposed to a permanent wall, which may be regretted.
Michael is confident in his manner, but not overly cocky in his approach and appeared reflective of his success from the night before and his recent accolades from the James Dyson Awards. He felt all 8 ideas had real business potential, but felt he had been awarded with the prize as his product offered the most monetary return as a business and in the last couple of years his product had proved itself as being a "viable alternative to expensive building projects and has already delivered huge money-saving and cost reductions for the NHS". I got the impression from Michael this was just the start and he saw this as the first step in not only this product but the rest of a future range of exciting and innovative designs.
The Movable screens can be designed with customised artwork, which Michael said was a feature that
whilst now integral to the product, had originally happened more so out of accident than design. However the artwork offers an additional benefit to the end-user, offering both a calming or stimulating effect to hospital patients that may be bed ridden for weeks. Michael also highlights that the KwickScreen wall dividers are multi-functional and whilst he is looking to develop the NHS market first, there are plenty of other reasons for businesses to use the transportable screens. Check out this short video here to see the product in all its glory.
And what would be Michael's advice to aspiring Entrepreneurs? "Don't always have faith in experts, and don't rely on what other people say." Michael feels that it is important for people to "believe they can do it, because you don't have to (at the start) be an expert in a subject to have a good idea…"
Aiming high is the key, and Michael aspires to have the same influence in innovation as the great designer
and inventor, James Dyson, who is most famous for the dual cyclone, bagless vacuum cleaner. And the key to his success? "You have to learn to fail, and fail quickly", and Michael has moved on and changed projects, when he recognised the faults in some of his ideas. "The idea is just the beginning" Michael is keen to stress and then "the hard work begins, and the challenge is to make the idea work……"
The Employable thank Michael for his time and wish him and all his business the very best of success.
Michael also highlighted that he has jobs to fill, which in these current times is good to hear! He is interested in Field Sales applicants (have to be good at telling a story, but not necessarily have sales experience) who could be based in Scotland or the North West of England, and he needs to fill an Office Management role at his head office in South Kensington, London.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Primer
(Excerpted from Steam/its generation and use, 42nd edition)
NOx formation in boilers
NOx (oxides of nitrogen) refers to the cumulative emission of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and trace quantities of other nitrogen-bearing species generated during combustion. Combustion of any fossil fuel generates some level of NOx due to high temperatures and the availability of oxygen and nitrogen from both air and fuel.
NOx emissions from combustion are typically 90 to 95% NO with the balance NO2. However, once the flue gas leaves the stack, most of the NO is eventually oxidized in the atmosphere to NO2. It is the NO2 in the flue gas that contributes to the brownish plume sometimes seen in a power plant stack discharge.
There are two principal mechanisms of NOx formation in steam generation: thermal NOx and fuel NOx.
Thermal NOx
Thermal NOx refers to the NOx formed through high temperature oxidation of the nitrogen found in the combustion air. The formation rate is a function of temperature as well as residence time at temperature. Significant levels of NOx are usually formed above 2200F (1204C) under oxidizing conditions, with exponential increases as the temperature is increased. At these high temperatures, molecular nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) dissociate into their atomic states and participate in a series of reactions. One product of these reactions is NO. Since the traditional factors leading to complete combustion (high temperatures, long residence time, and high turbulence or mixing) all tend to increase the rate of thermal NOx formation, some compromise between effective combustion and controlled NOx formation is needed.
Thermal NOx formation is typically controlled by reducing peak and average flame temperatures. Controlled mixing burners can be used to slow the combustion process. A second approach is staged combustion, where only part of the combustion air is initially added to burn the fuel; the remaining air is added separately through overfire air ports to complete the combustion process. A third method is to mix some of the flue gas with the combustion air at the burner, referred to as flue gas recirculation (FGR). This increases the gas weight which must be heated by the chemical energy in the fuel, thereby reducing the flame temperature.
Fuel NOx
The major source of NOx emissions from nitrogen-bearing fuels such as coal and oil is the conversion of fuel-bound nitrogen to NOx during combustion. Laboratory studies indicate that fuel NOx contributes approximately 50% of the total uncontrolled emissions when firing residual oil and approximately 75% when firing coal. Nitrogen found in these fuels is typically bound to the fuel as part of organic compounds. During combustion, the nitrogen is released as a free radical to ultimately form NO or N2. Although it is a major factor in NOx emissions, only 20 to 30% of the fuel-bound nitrogen is converted to NO.
The majority of NOx formation from fuel-bound nitrogen occurs through a series of reactions that are not fully understood. However, it appears that this conversion occurs by two separate paths, as shown here:
NOx Control
Combustion Technology
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems
Return To the Learning Center
Learn More About STEAM 42
NOx formation from nitrogen contained in coal during combustion
The first path involves the oxidation of volatile nitrogen species during the initial phase of combustion.
During the release and prior to the oxidation of the volatile compounds, nitrogen reacts to form several intermediate compounds in the fuel-rich flame region. These intermediate compounds are then oxidized to NO or reduced to N2 in the post-combustion zone. The formation of either NO or N2 is strongly dependent on the local fuel-air stoichiometric ratio (the ratio between fuel and air at which complete combustion takes place). It is estimated that this volatile release mechanism accounts for 60 to 90% of the fuel NOx contribution.
The second path involves the release of nitrogen radicals during combustion of the char fraction of the fuel. These reactions occur much more slowly than the reactions involving the volatile species.
Conversion of fuel-bound nitrogen to NOx is strongly dependent on the fuel-air stoichiometry but is relatively independent of variations in combustion zone temperature. Therefore, this conversion can be controlled by reducing oxygen availability during the initial stages of combustion. Techniques such as controlled fuel-air mixing and staged combustion provide a significant reduction in NOx emissions by controlling stoichiometry in the initial devolatilization zone.
Methods of NOx reduction
There are a variety of ways to control NOx in a boiler. Combustion technology-based NOx control is typically the lowest cost solution. In applications where further control is needed, other options include fuel switching and/or post-combustion control, such as selective catalytic reduction, can be considered.
Combustion control
NOx formation is promoted by rapid fuel-air mixing. This produces high peak flame temperatures and excess available oxygen which, in turn, promotes NOx emissions. Combustion system developments responsible for reducing NOx formation include low NOx burners, staged burning techniques (overfire air), and flue gas recirculation (FGR). The specific NOx reduction mechanisms include controlling the rate of fuel-air mixing, reducing oxygen availability in the initial combustion zone, and reducing peak flame temperatures.
B&W AireJet Low NOx burner
Post-combustion control
Additional NOx control techniques can be applied downstream of the combustion zone to achieve further reductions. These post-combustion control systems are referred to as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR). In either technology, NOx is reduced to nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) through a series of reactions with a reagent (or reagents) injected into the flue gas. The most common reagents used in commercial applications are ammonia and urea for both SCR and SNCR systems.
SCR can effectively reduce NOx levels leaving the boiler by 90% or greater depending on the specific application and space availability. SNCR typically is limited to lower NOx reduction levels but may be the more economical choice depending on the required NOx reduction or the unique project requirements. Both technologies have been successfully applied for NOx reduction on multiple fuels and boiler types.
Selective catalytic reduction system
A combination of combustion and post-combustion NOx control is frequently the most economical approach for existing installations and is required for installations that cannot achieve necessary emissions reduction by combustion methods alone.

Q: Obtain input and output from other process C# Before start let me say that I already tried to use variant which is described there.
Problem is folowing, I have very simple program in C which is just write to output and read input.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main()
{
    int size;

    printf("Enter size: ");
    scanf("%d", &size);
    printf("\n size = %d", size);

    return 0;
}

Second program wrote in C#. This program should start from another process first and obtain input and output. But the program is freezed when try to read input. At first call of Console.Write(process.StandardOutput.ReadLine());
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        var fName = "test.exe";
        var pci = new ProcessStartInfo
        {
            FileName = fName,
            Arguments = "/c DIR",
            UseShellExecute = false,
            RedirectStandardInput = true,
            RedirectStandardOutput = true,
            RedirectStandardError = true,
            CreateNoWindow = true,
        };

        using (var process = Process.Start(pci))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(process.ProcessName);

            Console.Write(process.StandardOutput.ReadLine());
            process.StandardInput.WriteLine("4");
            Console.Write(process.StandardOutput.ReadLine());

            process.WaitForExit(1000);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}

Does anybody know why it freezed? Or where to take a look?
P.S. with asnyc reading problem the same

What's the true story? Sam Mitchell's response to the Jalen Rose "Body Slam" story
Ok, ok...you know the Grantland video that made the rounds on the internet where Jalen Rose was telling the story about his time with the Toronto Raptors and how then-Raptors-star, Vince Carter and 2007 NBA Coach of the Year Sam Mitchell got into a wrestling tussle, WWE-style? If not, let me refresh your memory: (video via The Grantland YouTube Channel)
Now...here in Canada, the boys on Sportsnet 590 The Fan, Tim Micallef and Sid Seixeiro had the former coach Sam Mitchell on their show this past Friday (check out the full audio here). In true Sam Mitchell fashion, (and the Toronto media are already familiar) the former Raptors coach didn't hold back with his response to the Jalen Rose story.
"Consider the source. You know what blows my mind? And I don't attack people because I try to take the high road, but consider where it's coming from, where in this person's history are the things that he said true? You are talking about a person who played at a university whose record has been expunged. And for what? Lying and cheating. Right?"
Ohhhh snap. Mitchell pulled no punches and took shots at Jalen Rose's alma mater right away and even added that Rose "never quite lived up to (his) potential as a player". He continued on that if this altercation had actually happened in the locker room, the story would have come out to the media immediately, as opposed to years later. Mitchell gave his side of the story, detailing that Carter bear hugged him from behind in the training room which caused him to stumble and fall onto a training table, nothing else, nothing more. Just slightly different to Jalen's recollection of Vince Carter's 'Hulk Hogan-esque' slam of Mitchell. Oh, those Raptors memories.
Now, who has the right story? Who knows....we might have to ask Morris Peterson aka MoPete to the Toronto faithful, he was there. We might need a "Storytelling with MoPete" sometime soon.

The Refugee Learning Accelerator supports engineers and computer scientists from the Middle East to create technologies for refugee learners.
They provide access to learning, mentorship, and funding. The Accelerator is a project of the Media Lab Learning Initiative. The Media Lab is an antidisciplinary research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that designs technologies for people to create a better future.
The Refugee Learning Accelerator is a six month program, lasting from October 2017 to April 2018.
The purpose of the accelerator is to create a community of innovators who can collaborate to build technologies which address some of the Middle East's biggest challenges, rather than launching the next billion dollar company. This is an opportunity to learn alongside some of the most interesting work happening at the MIT Media Lab.
Ideal candidates would be computer scientists, electrical engineers and designers from Syria (not residing in Syria), Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine, who want to use their tech skills to support refugee learners.
Also, the accelerator would be most suitable for participants who are active on Stack Overflow, know their way around GitHub repositories, or have build things at a hackathon or two.
You must apply in a team of 2-5 people. If you don't have people to team up with head over to our Facebook Marketplace to find other prospective participants with complementary skills.
You must have a working knowledge of Arabic and English.
You must have a valid passport/travel documents. Successful participants will be invited to a workshop in Amman or Beirut during the Prototype phase.
You don't need to have an idea to apply; the Ideate phase is designed to get you up to speed on what's already happening in the field of digital education for refugees and to help you start thinking about what your team might be able to contribute.


There has been a huge spike in interest about India's unaccounted economy (popularly referred to as the "black economy") since PM Modi's move on November 8 to withdraw 500- and 1,000-rupee notes from circulation. Many proponents have argued that such a move will wipe out all unaccounted income in the country, while other have maintained that the consequences on the economy will be disastrous. While economic activity will surely be depressed in the short run, frankly, the magnitude of the effects on the economy in the medium-to-long run are uncertain at the time being. The observable facts tell us that it is a major inconvenience to a large majority of Indians, many businesses have reported a significant reduction in commercial activity, and hoarders of unaccounted income are scampering to salvage whatever they can.
Objectively speaking, one of the few certainties of this currency reform is that it will not be able to eliminate unaccounted money from India. It is an attempt at a one-time reduction in the stock of unaccounted wealth, but will have an insignificant effect on the generation and flow of unaccounted income. Targeting only the stock of domestic unaccounted money will be incomplete as fresh generation in different sectors will take us back to the starting point in a few years.
In order to tackle the unaccounted economy, it is essential to first understand the true extent and reach of it and to gain an understanding of the sources of generation and avenues of utilisation of unaccounted income. (The detailed report published by the Takshashila Institution can be accessed here.) At the outset, it is important to understand that the unaccounted economy comprises of a combination of illegal economy, unreported economy, unrecorded economy and finally, the informal economy. While there may be some overlap between these different categories, any policy that aims to tackle all of this at once is bound to fail. The informal economy, for example, is completely legal and is legally deemed to be exempt from taxation, while the unreported economy consists of legal activities on which taxes have not been paid. The demonetisation move unfairly hurts the informal economy, which is dependent on cash, but will not have any effect on tax evasion, which is a clever manipulation of the account books.
Estimates of the unaccounted economy vary greatly with different estimation methods and there seems to be no consensus on the estimate. The range is from 25% of the GDP to even 75% of GDP. A reliable estimate by the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) pegs this figure at 40% of India's GDP in 2010-11.
Further, analysing the sources and utilisation of unaccounted income in different sectors of the economy would give a far more realistic picture about the extent of influence of the demonetisation move on the unaccounted economy. Real estate alone accounts for over 40% of the total domestic unaccounted income. In 2010-11, the amount of unaccounted money generated in the real estate sector is close to Rs. 4.5 lakh crores. Though real estate prices will dip in the near future due to reduced demand as a result of liquidity crunch, the demonetisation move will not change any of the incentives for people to make transparent transactions.
The size of trade misinvoicing and illicit financial flows out of India is also staggering. Businesses often misreport their imports and exports in order to avoid taxation and then move the money out of India to tax havens. Global Financial Integrity estimated that $332 billion was illicitly moved out of India's borders between 2010 and 2013 through trade misinvoicing. The hawala market is also a notorious source for generation of unaccounted income. In 2010, $6 billion worth of foreign exchange transactions was done through the hawala market.
The education sector in India is another important source for generation of unaccounted income. According to an investigative report, the education sector generates around Rs. 48,400 crores of unaccounted income each year for the past several years. This is through donations, high capitation fees, and the bribes paid by several institutions in order to get approvals and the lack of accountability (many education institutions are exempt from filing annual returns) in this sector makes it extremely easy for these processes to continue.
Agricultural income poses a massive problem in the attempt to reduce the size of the unaccounted economy. Since agricultural income is exempt from taxation, there is the issue of revenue foregone for states. More importantly, though, the exemption is an open invitation for tax evasion and money laundering. Many corporations who are remotely involved in the agricultural sector report their revenue as agricultural income to escape taxes. This amounted to Rs. 31,300 crores in 2009-10. A sensational response by the IT officials given to an RTI revealed that in 2011, agricultural income declared was about 2,000 lakh crores. This might have been an exceptional year and the figure might well be exaggerated, yet, it is symptomatic of the problem of money laundering in agricultural income.
Then, there is the generation of unaccounted income through corruption within the government and through government schemes. Offering 10 to 20 percent of the contract value as kickbacks to officials is a widely known and accepted practice to win government contracts. Defence procurement, irrigation projects, road construction, public works, national highways and other infrastructure projects are all prone to massive kickbacks. The same applies to government auctions of natural resources such as mining rights and spectrum sale. Only a fraction of these come under the CBI and gets highlighted in the media.
Given here is a small sample of the extent of unaccounted economy in India. The currency reform is an extremely small step in the larger journey of reducing the size of the unaccouned economy. To truly tackle this "menace", the Modi government needs to make good of its promise of reforming each of these sectors to curb the generation of black money. Some of these reforms will necessarily be sector-specific, such as decreasing stamp duty and putting in place a regulatory structure for real estate, bringing agricultural income into the IT department's purview, disallowing cash donations to political parties, cracking down on capitation fees in the education sector, etc. Much of it can also be achieved by pushing through structural liberalising reforms in the country. The data shows that the size of the unaccounted economy in the country has been steadily decreasing with the increasing liberalisation of the economy. Removing the need for unnecessary licenses and permits, reducing transaction costs, improving transparency and accountability in government procurements, simpler and reduced tax laws, improving ease of doing business and other such measures are desperately required to reduce the generation of unaccounted income in India.

Dáil Committee to investigate science funding failures in Ireland
cork | sci-tech | opinion/analysis Sunday July 13, 2014 12:43 by Corkonian
Visit by Dáil Committee toTyndall National Institute, UCC, Monday 14 July. Questions need to be addressed in regard to departures of iconic researchers following SFI funded research work. In particular the iconic work on the junctionless transistor.
The Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation is to visit Tyndall/UCC on Monday 14 July. See
http://www.oireachtas.ie/parliament/mediazone/pressrele....html
One of Tyndall National Institute's claims to fame is the junctionless transistor. This is a great development. See here for a press release: http://www.tyndall.ie/taxonomy/term/1297/0
UCC and SFI owe a lot to this. It is an iconic piece of work coming from Tyndall National Institute.
It is to be hoped that the Dáil Committee will learn what made Jean-Pierre Colinge, the iconic inventor of this technology, decide that he had had enough with Tyndall, and UCC. Jean-Pierre Colinge left for Taiwan, as did his wife, Cindy Colinge, another iconic scientist from Tyndall.
All iconic scientists and engineers and mathematicians, and everybody else, who comes to Ireland with SFI support will soon enough leave the island for pastures new. They will leave because there is nothing of a long term nature in Irish planning.
Why would any great scientist or mathematician want to stay long in Ireland? As the Irish Times reported recently (6 July) Ireland is bereft of any serious plans for the future. See "Bundestag committee claims Ireland has no plan for growth".
http://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/bundestag-co...56046
Economist Brian Lucey summarized the implications of the smoke and mirrors in all of this: http://brianmlucey.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/why-the-rus...ties/
The Dáil Committee visiting Tyndall needs to ask the iconic Chief Scientist, Mark Ferguson, whose own fraudulent career has been well documented (see http://educationalstandards.wordpress.com), just why enormous funding is going for people to take with them any and all innovation from Irish shores.

As a nonprofit foundation, the World Scholar's Cup depends on the generosity of sponsors to help make the program not only possible, but accessible to students of all backgrounds.
No two sponsors are alike, but we like all of them. Some help cover the cost of specific events at a regional or global tournament; many offer in-kind donations, from water to mechanical pencils; others donate to our general fund to help us develop our program's learning experience. All sponsors are prominently identified and thanked at each round and in all of our outreach.
Some sponsors are giant companies; others are families who have seen their own children participate in and benefit from the World Scholar's Cup. No contribution is too small to help in a big way. Please email us at [email protected] for details on sponsorship opportunities.

Reader Question: How to Buy Vanguard ETFs?
In your blog, you mentioned buying VEA ETF. I thought Canadians could not buy Vanguard funds. How do you buy Vanguard ETFs?
It is true that Canadians cannot normally buy the low-cost index mutual funds available directly through Vanguard. Fortunately for us, we can easily buy Vanguard ETFs such as their Total US Stock Market Index Fund (VTI), Europe Pacific Index Fund (VEA) and Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund (VWO), which are even cheaper than the corresponding index mutual funds.
ETFs or Exchange Traded Funds are securities that track an index and are traded on the stock exchange just like individual stocks. If you have a brokerage account, buying an ETF is as simple as entering a buy order with the ETF's ticker symbol on the appropriate exchange and placing an order.
As you have pay a commission every time you buy or sell an ETF and it is best to keep commissions to 1% of the trade, ETFs are ideal for larger portfolios. For small portfolios and investing small amounts of money regularly, the TD e-Series index mutual funds will be a better choice.
If you have a financial question that you would like answered, feel free to contact me here.


Edwards got another 90 minutes under his belt in the Eredivisie on Sunday as Excelsior Rotterdam lost 2-0 at home to PEC Zwolle.
After finding himself as an unused substitute for Rotterdam throughout much of November and December, Edwards really stepped up in 2019 and has been a regular starter in the team.
Edwards has now made 16 starts and two substitute appearances in the Eredivisie for the Dutch side this season, scoring twice and laying on two assists.
The Frenchman moved to Monaco on transfer deadline day in January January and, as with his loan spell at Burnley last season, he's already finding starts hard to come by.
In his first match the day after Nkoudou's move - against Toulouse - he got just 13 minutes from the bench and then in the two games afterwards was given only one and then seven minutes to impress.
Monaco have seen an upturn in form since Thierry Henry's departure and that's probably had the biggest impact on Nkoudou being able to force his way into the side.
Then matter got worse with a hamstring injury which has keep him out of action in recent weeks and the Ligue 1 club haven't revealed when the loanee will be back in action.
The 20-year-old has struggled for appearances due to injury and quite frankly the number of strikers at Sunderland.
Sterling came on for a minute in midweek at Barnsley - only his second appearance of the loan spell - but was then an unused substitute in the 2-1 win against Walsall at the weekend.
"He's been good," Sunderland boss Jack Ross said about. "He's a nice young man, he's continued to do things properly.
"The reality for me is that I can't treat him any differently to if he was my player here. It's still different for him, training with the first team every day.
"I know he had experience training with the first team at Spurs, he's with us every single day and it's about maintaining those standards every day.
"He's been good, he's responded well to it and then it'll be up to him when the opportunity opens up for him how he takes."
Sterling will be unable to feature in the Checkatrade Trophy final at the end of the month as he has already featured in the competition this season for Spurs.
Pochettino will be hoping the player gets more chances to impress in the weeks ahead because the whole reason he was sent out on loan was to get some valuable experience under his belt.
Anthony Georgiou has been getting regular starts for Levante B in the Spanish third division and played 71 minutes as they won 1-0 at SD Ejea on Saturday.
The 22-year-old, who scored his first senior goal on his first professional start against Hercules at the end of last month, has helped his new side moved away from the drop zone.
The Cypriot international left winger made the loan switch to Spain on transfer deadline day, having made his debut for Spurs last season from the bench in the Champions League at Apoel Nicosia.
This has been the season from hell for Josh Onomah. He's had injuries galore and after finally returning to training the 21-year-old has now dislocated his elbow and may need surgery.
"It will be good to see Josh back. He played very, very well for me at Aston Villa," said Owls boss Steve Bruce on Saturday.
"And it's fair to say with the number of appearances he's made here, it hasn't gone as well as either party would like.
"But I'm a big admirer of Josh and hopefully he'll have some part to play in the next eight games."
Unlike Onomah, Cameron Carter-Vickers has had a loan spell which has been a big development boost for him, starting regularly and getting plenty of game time at Swansea.
He was unfortunate in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City, adjudged to have conceded a penalty which wasn't and the Swans ended up losing 3-2 after leading 2-0 against Pep Guardiola's men.
After a stuttering start to the season, Carter-Vickers has worked his way into the Swansea team as a regular in the back four.
He now has 14 Championship starts this season to his name, with six substitute appearances as well as three FA Cup appearances.
There was talk of the USA international returning during the January window to be sent out somewhere else, as he did last season in moving from Sheffield United to Ipswich, however he now looks settled at Swansea and a full season in Wales could do him plenty of good in his development.
Shashoua was an unused substitute as Atlético Baleares beat Villareal B 1-0 on Sunday.
Another young Spurs midfielder who made his way to Spain for first team experience, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder is making the most of his experience with Balearicos in the same division as Spurs team-mate Georgiou.
Shashoua has appeared in 25 matches, scoring four goals and weighing in with two assists.
The talented teenager has another year left on his contract when he returns and it will be interesting to see where his career takes him next.
Connor Ogilvie helped Gillingham to a 2-2 draw at Luton on Saturday.
The defender, who turned 23 on Valentine's Day, has been a near ever-present for the League One side since November, appearing 23 times as well as playing in the FA Cup and Checkatrade Trophy.
Harrison has headed even further afield than his Spurs team-mates this season after making the loan move to Melbourne City in Australia's A-League.
The 21-year-old striker, who has started five matches so far, got on the scoresheet on Saturday as Melbourne won 2-0 at Sydney.

Jones, William E. Mansfield 1962. Video, black and white, silent, 9 minutes, 2006.
Description: In the summer of 1962, the Mansfield, Ohio Police Department photographed men having sex in a public restroom under the main square of the city. A cameraman hid in a closet and watched the clandestine activities through a two-way mirror. He filmed over a three week period, and the resulting movie was used to obtain the convictions of over 30 local men on charges of sodomy. With some of this footage the Mansfield Police later produced Camera Surveillance, an instructional film circulated in law enforcement circles. It showed how to set up a sting operation to film and arrest "sex deviants." William E. Jones found a degraded version of the film on the internet, then reedited the footage to make Mansfield 1962, a haunting, silent condensation of the original.

Jones, William E. Tearoom [book]. 2nd Cannons Publications 010 2008, 2nd printing, edition of 1000. 8.5x11" 43 pages $24.00
Description 1:
Tearoom is a companion piece to Jones's video of the same name. A work of appropriation, the video Tearoom is a police surveillance film – presented virtually unaltered – of men having sex in a public rest room in Mansfield, Ohio during a three week period in the summer of 1962. This film, used as evidence in court, led to the conviction of over 30 men on charges of sodomy, which at that time carried a minimum sentence of one year in the state penitentiary.
In the book Tearoom, William E. Jones presents the results of research on these cases and on the production of the surveillance film. The book includes a number of historical texts, as well as two new essays by Jones. Tearoom is extensively illustrated with more than 100 film stills, most of them in color. These stills show men from all walks of life who met for furtive sex under the central square of Mansfield, and who went to jail as the result of a law enforcement sting. Tearoom provides a unique view of the clandestine sexual life of a small Midwestern city at the beginning of the 1960s. www.williamejones.com
The book Tearoom, published by 2nd Cannons, contains many historical texts relating to the Mansfield cases, as well as over 100 frame enlargements from the video. [Note: The first edition of the book has gone out of print; a second edition is now available.]

Jones, William E. Tearoom [video]. 16mm film transferred to video, color, silent, 56 minutes, 1962/2007.
Description: Tearoom consists of footage shot by the police in the course of a crackdown on public sex in the American Midwest. In the summer of 1962, the Mansfield, Ohio Police Department photographed men in a restroom under the main square of the city. The cameramen hid in a closet and watched the clandestine activities through a two-way mirror. The film they shot was used in court as evidence against the defendants, all of whom were found guilty of sodomy, which at that time carried a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in the state penitentiary. The original surveillance footage shot by the police came into the possession of director William E. Jones while he was researching this case for a documentary project. The unedited scenes of ordinary men of various races and classes meeting to have sex were so powerful that the director decided to present the footage with a minimum of intervention. Tearoom is a radical example of film presented "as found" for the purpose of circulating historical images that have otherwise been suppressed.
Wikipedia: Mansfield, Ohio, Film Industry
From the 1950s through the 1970s, Mansfield was the home of the infamous Highway Safety Foundation, the organization that created the controversial driver's education scare films that featured gruesome film photography taken at fatal automobile accidents in the Mansfield area.[42]
The films include Signal 30 (1959), Mechanized Death (1961), Wheels of Tragedy (1963), and Highways of Agony (1969). In addition, the Highway Safety Foundation produced other controversial education films including The Child Molester and Camera Surveillance (both 1964).
In 1962, The Highway Safety Foundation loaned camera equipment to the Mansfield Police Department to film the sex acts of some of the city's homosexual men, who met in an underground public restroom deep in the bowels of Central Park. An ugly chapter in the city's history, the men filmed were charged under Ohio's sodomy law, and all served a minimum of one year in the state penitentiary. The resulting footage, combined with overdubbed audio commentary by officials of the Mansfield Police Department, was eventually compiled by HSF as the film Camera Surveillance.
Video artist William E. Jones of Massillon, Ohio, obtained copies of the original footage shot by the Mansfield Police Department. Jones transferred the grainy color footage of the original police surveillance films to video and removed the police commentary, presenting it as a silent piece entitled Tearoom (2007). Jones' film was featured in an exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 2008.

Responses to William T. Jones' Tearoom
Otto, Dean. "Artists of the Year: William E. Jones," City Pages (Minneapolis) January 2, 2008.
News of Sen. Larry Craig's arrest by an undercover police officer in a public-toilet sex sting at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport exploded in the press in late August. Newscasters were befuddled as they reported the details. Later, Craig's explanation that his "wide stance" in the stall was misunderstood by the officer became a pop euphemism for gay. Public-bathroom sex became fodder for late-night monologues, and the site of Craig's bust turned into a tourist attraction.
All of that gives remarkable weight and context to the work of Los Angeles filmmaker William E. Jones, who exhibited at Walker Art Center last summer, just before the scandal broke. Jones's films often rework footage from the nonsexual moments in gay porn, and addresses the lines between fandom and obsession. In the process of mining images of gay sexuality in film, he uncovered an instructional film called Camera Surveillance, produced by the Highway Safety Foundation, that taught officers techniques to covertly film illegal sexual activity in public toilets. In this case, the footage shot in 1962 in the small town of Mansfield, Ohio, led to charges and convictions of more than 30 men. Jones's reworking of the footage, Mansfield 1962, which showed at the Walker, contains many levels of irony. The surveillance tapes were shot by police hiding in a closet—natch—and the explicit footage shows the sexual abandon and joy, but not the horror and humiliation that soon followed. The restroom in the film is a cultural and social equalizer, ensnaring men of various classes. In this case, most served several years in jail and had their lives ruined.
We will be hearing more from Jones soon. Next up is a spot in the coveted Whitney Biennial—the holy grail of emerging artists—where he will be presenting Tearoom, another found film on gay sex in bathrooms.

Wolfram Research; developers of the very popular line of Mathematica computational applications, have announced the availability of Mathematica on Amazon EC2.
Computational and analytical applications are the latest packaged and grid software offerings to make the transition over to a cloud computing model. Mathematica's cloud computing offering is intended for its entire customer base, but will be especially appealing to power Mathematica Notebook users like scientists and engineers. These type of users often run out of compute power on their Notebooks when executing complex calculations and Mathematica in the Cloud will allow them to scale up quickly to the cloud.
Wolfram differentiates the EC2 cloud offering from its existing parallell computing offerings for gridMathematica by the fact that it is a pure Pay as You Go service and pricing will be metered and billed by compute cycles consumed. Wolfram Research has partnered with Nimbus Services for the initial rollout of the service. Nimbus will enable the Mathematica Cloud service to access differing HPC systems, such as Mosso or Flexiscale.
Mathematica is not the first major player out of the gate with a cloud based computational solution on EC2 however as Mathworks released a whitepaper with a blueprint for individuals/groups interested in running Matlab on EC2.
Analytical and Computational analysis is a good fit for Cloud Computing.
I see more Universities or R&D Departments using this model because as more cloud service providers offer it the cost of computing cycles will become very cheap.
I wonder if Wolfram will use the CCT at the University of Illinois Champaign for a Cloud?
Are you a UofI grad or alumni?
Yes the CCT would be a very good platform for a application like Mathematica. But I think the CCT is still a few months away from launching from last that I heard.

These games supply wonderful value for cash, lots of fun, and are normally extra exceptional and creative than retail games.
You can start out from straightforward games that ask you from click and drag and further you can move on to tougher levels of games. And no I am not advocating rubbish like the Think about series of games – these are appropriate games that I enjoy also. I uncover it is a bit significantly less repetitive than CoD and the outstanding forge from Halo 3 onwards lets you play on some superb maps. I'm a female gamer and my favored games are the Bioshock and Assassin's Creed Series.


Talk of supernatural phenomena, visions, and spirits are pretty commonplace at least once a year surrounding Halloween and Day of the Dead but for Cathy Meriaux, her life revolves around these subjects every day of the year.
Meriaux does not like to call herself a "psychic" and really dislikes the stereotypes that come with the word, like a scamming lady in a dark room looking into a crystal ball for example. She instead considers herself a medium and clairvoyant. Her customers come to her with questions about their future or even past and she gives them spiritual readings that answer these questions.
43-year-old Meriaux is a busy woman, along with being a medium/clairvoyant she is also a mother of two and a wife and only views her "talents" as only one part of her overall self, a large part of it however.
"Someone will say a first name and boom, images come flashing into my mind," explains Meriaux.
She doesn't have any fancy theatrics during her readings, she just simply walks into her studio, grabs a pen and paper, and lights some sage. She says that she asks basic, simple questions and then explains to her customer the visions that she is seeing in her mind to see if it resonates with them.
The visions are something that she has experienced her entire life, as far back as she can remember. As a child she always thought it was normal to see spirits of those that have passed on. As a teenager she began having these visions more and more so she began to hone her abilities.
She says that the deceased all have messages. Most of the time they are nice and comforting messages, but that is not always the case. Obviously she prefers the kind messages, especially when she is reading for someone who is still grieving.
"That warms my heart," says Meriaux.
She is all to familiar with skepticism and knows that it comes with the territory. She's understood that her entire life and has always dealt with it. She has finally gotten to a point where she no longer feels that it is her obligation to prove herself to anyone.
"If you don't believe whatever I tell you, you're not going to believe. Take it for what it's worth," she says.
Meriaux also uses her talents to help investigations, either with the police department or private ones. She states that she always has to be careful in these instances because client confidentiality does not allow her to share details. She enjoys working with police departments though, especially because they test her first and when they proceed with her, she feels that she has a level of validation and trust.
Though she hasn't assisted in any murders, as of yet, she has helped in finding missing parole violators or suspects and a missing persons case every now and then.
"Places and names I've validated, I'm always pleased to hear it," she says.
She has even helped people on the other side of the law. Criminals who have done something wrong and are about to be tried in court, they come to her asking what they can expect to happen and she tells them what she sees.
Clairvoyant? ESP? What do the different gifts Psychics possess mean?

Citroen to enter Australian Rally Championship in 2014
Citroen Australia has announced it will enter a two-car factory-backed team in the 2014 Australian Rally Championship (ARC).
David Zalstein
10:43, 13 September 2013
The two competition-prepared Citroen DS3-R3s will race under the banner of Team Citroen Australia, steered by the combinations of Tony Sullens and Julia Barkley and Adrian Coppin and Tim Batten.
The new team will be hoping to deliver the local division of the French manufacturer similar success to the brand's recent World Rally Championship (WRC) domination that has seen Citroen claim eight constructor's titles since debuting in 1989 – helped in no small part by nine-time WRC World Champion Sebastien Loeb.
Citroen Australia general manager John Startari said the team is very excited to have the opportunity to extend Citroen's successful rallying heritage to the local series.
"This is the first time Citroen Australia has had a factory backed team in the event and this gives [us] the opportunity to prove the quality and reliability of our cars in the tough sport of rallying,'' Startari said.
The man who will head Team Citroen Australia, team principal Ron Cremen, brings top-level experience coming from his current role as team manager for the Abu Dhabi Citroen Total World Rally Team competing in this year's international championship.
"Our team of youth and experience looks forward to the demanding challenges of the 2014 Australian Rally Championship in the DS3-R3," Cremen said.
As part of Citroen's ARC campaign, an apprentice scheme allowing Citroen mechanics the opportunity to be involved in a race team environment will be introduced.
Citroen Australia's announcement to join ARC from 2014 comes with the news that Honda Australia will be exiting the sport at the end of the 2013 season.
After debuting in 2010, claiming a driver's championship in 2012 with Eli Evans and co-driver Glen Weston and setting a new record for the most consecutive rally wins in a season – nine from nine starts – Honda Australia director Stephen Collins said, "We are extremely proud of what we have achieved over the past four years."
Round Five of this year's ARC is on this weekend in Coffs Harbour, taking place alongside Round 10 of the WRC.

Two case series described in 1969 by Hans-Rudolf Wiedemann, Germany, and Loma Linda, California. Initially termed EMG syndrome.
A syndrome with macroglossia, macrosomia and exomphalos. Other features include organomegaly, hemi-hypertrophy, neonatal hypoglycaemia and embryonal tumours.
Aetiology has not been fully elucidated, though 80% have abnormalities in Chromosome 11p.
Inheritance is complex with many patterns including autosomal dominant with variable expression, aberrant imprinting, microdeletions, duplications.
IGF-2 has been implicated as a potential factor in some studies.
Intellectual impairment is a feature.
Horizontal notching of the pinna.
Airway management at delivery: macroglossia may cause airway compromise.
Wilms tumour occurs in up to 7% of children with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome.
Cognitive impairment may be due to uncontrolled neonatal hypoglycaemia rather than a structural brain defect.
Appropriate investigations for any suspected malignancy.
3 monthly USS have been suggested until age 4 years.
Features are similar to many other conditions.
WAGR (Wilms, aniridia, genitourinary defects, mental retardations): 11p13 deletion or WT1 mutation. Aniridia and genitourinary defects no associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann.
11p trisomy foetal overgrowth, frontal upsweeping hair, wide nasal bridge, beaked nose, severe cognitive impairment, fat cheeks.
Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome: overgrowth, hypoglycaemia, embryonal tumours, splenomegaly. Specific features: syndactyly, 13 ribs, mild obesity, cataracts, retinal detachment, pectus excavatum, intestinal malrotation, hypospadias, X-linked, high early mortality, hypospadia and cryptorchidism.
Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome: cognitive impairment, seizures, glaucoma.
Sotos syndrome: macrocephaly, alveolar ridge exostoses, neonatal oedema, thyroid dysfunction (hypo or hyper), neonatal hypotonia.
Diazoxide, glucagon, octreotide (rarely required) may be used.
Discharge once able to maintain serum glucose during a normal (age-related) fasting period.
Parent education re. malignancy / abdominal masses.
Some centres advocate teaching parents abdominal examination.
Malignancy screening, eg. Ultrasonography 3-6 monthly.
Prognosis is reasonable, dependent on management of neonatal hypoglycaemia and cancer screening / management.

Soft chancre; Ulcus molle; Sexually transmitted disease - chancroid; STD - chancroid; Sexually transmitted infection - chancroid; STI - chancroid
Chancroid is a bacterial infection that is spread through sexual contact.
Chancroid is caused by a bacterium called Haemophilus ducreyi.
The infection is found in many parts of the world, such as Africa and southwest Asia. Very few people are diagnosed in the United States each year with this infection. Most people in the United States who are diagnosed with chancroid got the disease outside the country in areas where the infection is more common.
Within 1 day to 2 weeks after becoming infected, a person will get a small bump on the genitals. The bump becomes an ulcer within a day after it first appears. The ulcer:
Erosion is a breakdown of the outer layers of the skin, usually because of a: CutScrapeInflammation
Ranges in size from 1/8 inch to 2 inches (3 millimeters to 5 centimeters) in diameter
Is painful
Is soft
Has sharply defined borders
Has a base that is covered with a gray or yellowish-gray material
Has a base that bleeds easily if it is banged or scraped
About one half of infected men have only a single ulcer. Women often have 4 or more ulcers. The ulcers appear in specific locations.
Common locations in men are:
Groove behind the head of the penis
Shaft of the penis
Head of the penis
Opening of the penis
The scrotum is a part of a male's body that is located behind the penis. The scrotum is the sac (pouch) that contains the testes, epididymis, and th...
In women, the most common location for ulcers is the outer lips of the vagina (labia majora). "Kissing ulcers" may develop. Kissing ulcers are those that occur on opposite surfaces of the labia.
Other areas, such as the inner vagina lips (labia minora), the area between the genitals and the anus (perineal area), and the inner thighs may also be involved. The most common symptoms in women are pain with urination and intercourse.
The ulcer may look like the sore of primary syphilis (chancre).
Primary syphilis
Syphilis is a bacterial infection that is most often spread through sexual contact.
About one half of the people who are infected with a chancroid develop enlarged lymph nodes in the groin.
In one half of people who have swelling of the groin lymph nodes, the nodes break through the skin and cause draining abscesses. The swollen lymph nodes and abscesses are also called buboes.
An abscess is a collection of pus in any part of the body. In most cases, the area around an abscess is swollen and inflamed.
The health care provider diagnoses chancroid by looking at the ulcer(s), checking for swollen lymph nodes and testing (ruling out) for other sexually-transmitted diseases. There is no blood test for chancroid.
The infection is treated with antibiotics including ceftriaxone, and azithromycin. Large lymph node swellings need to be drained, either with a needle or local surgery.
Chancroid can get better on its own. Some people have months of painful ulcers and draining. Antibiotic treatment often clears up the lesions quickly with very little scarring.
Complications include urethral fistulas and scars on the foreskin of the penis in uncircumcised males. People with chancroid should also be checked for other sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis, HIV, and genital herpes.
Fistulas
The penis is the male organ used for urination and sexual intercourse. The penis is located above the scrotum. It is made of spongy tissue and bloo...
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes AIDS. When a person becomes infected with HIV, the virus attacks and weakens the immune ...
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This article focuses on HSV type 2 infection....
In people with HIV, chancroid may take much longer to heal.
Call for an appointment with your provider if:
You have symptoms of chancroid
You have had sexual contact with a person who you know has a sexually transmitted infection (STI)
You have engaged in high-risk sexual practices
Chancroid is spread by sexual contact with an infected person. Avoiding all forms of sexual activity is the only absolute way to prevent a sexually transmitted disease.
However, safer sex behaviors may reduce your risk. The proper use of condoms, either the male or female type, greatly decreases the risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease. You need to wear the condom from the beginning to the end of each sexual activity.
Safer sex behaviors

Every year, thousands of Americans visit their doctors for chronic pain. About 20% of people leave with a prescription for an opioid-based pain killer like Vicodin, Percocet, or OxyContin. When used for a short period of time and in moderation, these drugs are very effective at alleviating pain. But certain risk factors can also put you at a higher risk of developing a drug dependency or addiction.
In 2015, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) said that two million Americans were addicted to painkillers. About 21% – 29% of people who were prescribed pain medications become addicted to or dependent on them, and the problem continues to worsen.
You may have heard the phrase "Opioid Crisis" to describe the nation's escalating rates of addiction and overdose, but despite the high rate of dependency, some people use painkillers and never have a problem. So what determines your risk of a pain medicine addiction?
One of the biggest risk factors for becoming addicted to pain medication is genetics. People who have impulsive personalities or seek out new and exciting experiences are more likely to develop a pain medication addiction. Furthermore, having a biological parent who has had an addiction problem may increase your risk.
Other risk factors include gender and age. Women are typically at a higher risk of developing an opioid addiction than men, as are younger people. Having certain mental illnesses can also increase your risk of developing an addiction. If you are taking pain medication at a time when you are constantly stressed out or unhappy, your likelihood of abusing drugs increases.
Finally, the length of time that you take pain medication affects your chances of developing a problem. Painkillers are deemed safest for only a very short-term use, (three days or less), and only to provide relief from an injury that causes acute pain, such as broken bones or surgery. If you intend to use painkillers for a longer time, take them only as long as needed, and take the lowest dose possible.
If you think that you have an addiction to pain medication, it's important to seek help right away. If you don't get your opioid use under control, you run the risk of suffering from an overdose, which can be deadly. In 2015 alone, over 33,000 Americans died of an overdose. Talk to your doctor about safe ways to manage your opioid use, or ask about opioid alternatives for pain management that are safer and equally effective.

Over the weekend, the Metropolitan Opera (Met) Orchestra musicians and their employer engaged in a round of he-said, she-said PR exchanges in the wake of the musicians 84 page document examining what they define as administrative failings. Granted, there's plenty of material there worth exploring but today's post is going to examine a crucial bit of news via the 7/25/2014 Associated Press (AP) that flew under the radar.
Published in the 7/25/2014 edition of FoxBusiness.com, the AP article includes quotes from Met General Manager, Peter Gelb, about the impending lockout and its impact on the company's efficiency and artistic merit.
The important part to note here is the lack of any discussion related to engaging a play and talk agreement to help release pressure, prevent revenue loss, and encourage mutual concession. Instead, Gelb appears to view a work stoppage as nothing more than a hammer from a 1960s era labor tool kit and as the adage from that same decade goes, "Give a small boy a hammer, and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding." ~ Abraham Kaplan.
Unfortunately, times have changed and initiating a work stoppage in the post-economic downturn environment has been escalated from a hammer to a weapon of last resort.
Anyone who has been paying attention to the field since 2008 has seen the devastating impact poorly designed work stoppages (both lockouts and strikes) have on an institution; just look at what happened in Atlanta, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, Minnesota, and St. Paul. The Met is no exception to this new rule and you can expect that a bitter work stoppage will reap equally devastating results.
The AP closes out the article with one last quote from Gelb about his outlook on the ongoing relationship with Met employees via a reference to the musicians.
Indeed they don't, but they do need to respect you.
In the end, don't be surprised for the Met's thermonuclear labor dispute to quickly turn into a "this town ain't big enough for the both of us" style showdown.
Kitten Pics Or News About Peter Gelb? It's Your Choice.
Thank you for your comments. I saw that quote about the supposed necessary imposition of a lockout and my blood began to boil! I'm so glad it caught the media's eye. I'm a twenty year veteran of the Met Chorus and this is no game.
So what's your comment on 802's bare-faced lie that Gelb is going to reduce the base pay of the orchestra by 25%? Is it negotiating in good faith to spread such deliberately inflammatory untruths?
I plan to address the musician's statements and Met's reply at some point later in the week although I suspect one or both sides will continue to release some info over the next few days. To that end, I've found that it is best to let the dust settle before jumping into analysis when so much info has been released.
Nonetheless, what aspect in particular about the document (for reader reference, located here) and/or information you have otherwise that led you to the conclusion that the musician position is inaccurate?
For more reader reference, although correct me if I'm wrong, the bit you're referencing is on page 49.
The guy has failed in every aspect. Time for a change. Perhaps Volpe should be running it again for 6 months while a new more competent manager is found.
What's astounding is that one would think that Gelb all of a sudden realized the Met is in financial trouble. He must have known for months or probably years. And then to waste millions on a new Ring production to boot. On the other hand, when members of the chorus earn $200K it's hard to say they can't accept a salary/pension reduction. The Met Board ought to fire Gelb and agree to binding arbitration or set up a joint union/management committee to figure out how to right the Met's boat. Unfortunately, a lockout may lead to the ruin of the Met or at least a major diminution of its productions and its reputation.

Methods to welcome money into your home to increase prosperity and cash flow have been tried throughout the years (aside and along with hard work).
Many have been handed down through old wives tales, folklore, kitchen magic or what not.
This is one of my favorite and one I use that seems to have its roots deep into the history of earth magic. It is simple, effective and may be done at anytime. However, it is preferably to start this on a New Moon cycle, new moon to full, as that is what is known as a bring cycle. You may leave it over your doorway for as long as you wish, although it should be refreshed from time to time.
Welcoming Money into your home!
Place the coins, magnet and sprig of basil over the doorway of the inside of the doorway leading into your home.
I line mine up on a piece of scotch tape and tape above doorway.
You may leave this indefinitely however, you may want to replace/refresh them once in a while.
The basil should be refreshed and the coins spent to put the money out into the universe. Replace with different coins.
Love and Prosperity to you!!!
Also remember lighting a green candle on the second day of a bring cycle it a great way to draw money.
I use the seven day glass jar candles and leave lit. If you must put it out, snuff it do not blow it out and relight as soon as possible.
Place the candle on a cookie sheet, pie pan or other surface in case of cracking.
