Biotechnology is the manipulation of biological organisms to make products that benefit human beings. Biotechnology contributes to such diverse areas as food production, waste disposal, mining, and medicine.
Although biotechnology has existed since ancient times, some of its most dramatic advances have come in more recent years. Modern achievements include the transferal of a specific gene from one organism to another (by means of a set of genetic engineering techniques known as transgenics); the maintenance and growth of genetically uniform plant- and animal-cell cultures, called clones; and the fusing of different types of cells to produce beneficial medical products such as monoclonal antibodies, which are designed to attack a specific type of foreign substance.
The modern era of biotechnology had its origin in 1953 when American biochemist James Watson and British biophysicist Francis Crick presented their double-helix model of DNA. This was followed by Swiss microbiologist Werner Arber's discovery in the 1960s of special enzymes, called restriction enzymes, in bacteria. These enzymes cut the DNA strands of any organism at precise points. In 1973 American geneticist Stanley Cohen and American biochemist Herbert Boyer removed a specific gene from one bacterium and inserted it into another using restriction enzymes. This event marked the beginning of recombinant DNA technology, commonly called genetic engineering. In 1977 genes from other organisms were transferred to bacteria. This achievement eventually led to the first transfer of a human gene, which coded for a hormone, to Escherichia coli bacteria. Although the transgenic bacteria (bacteria to which a gene from a different species has been transferred) could not use the human hormone, they produced it along with their own normal chemical compounds.
In the 1960s an important project used hybridization followed by selective breeding to increase food production and quality of wheat and rice crops. American agriculturalist Norman Borlaug, who spearheaded the program, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 in recognition of the important contribution that increasing the world's food supply makes to the cause of peace.
Modern trends:
Today biotechnology is applied in various fields. In waste management, for example, biotechnology is used to create new biodegradable materials. One such material is made from the lactic acid produced during the bacterial fermentation of discarded corn stalks. When individual lactic acid molecules are joined chemically, they form a material that has the properties of plastics but is biodegradable. Widespread production of plastic from this material is expected to become more economically viable in the future
Biotechnology also has applications in the mining industry. In its natural state, copper is found combined with other elements in the mineral chalcopyrite. The bacterium Thiobacillus ferrooxidans can use the molecules of copper found in chalcopyrite to form the compound copper sulfate (CuSO4), which, in turn, can be treated chemically to obtain pure copper. This microbiological mining process is used only with low-grade ores and currently accounts for about 10 percent of copper production in the United States. The percentage will rise, however, as conventionally mined high-grade deposits are exhausted. Procedures have also been developed for the use of bacteria in the mining of zinc, lead, and other metals.
The field of medicine employs some of the most dramatic applications in biotechnology. One advance came in 1986 with the first significant laboratory production of factor VIII, a blood-clotting protein that is not produced, or has greatly reduced activity, in people who have hemophilia. As a result of this condition, hemophiliacs are at risk of bleeding to death after suffering minor cuts or bruises. In this biotechnological procedure, the human gene that codes for the blood-clotting protein is transferred to hamster cells grown in tissue culture, which then produce factor VIII for use by hemophiliacs. Factor VIII was approved for commercial production in 1992.
Controversies:
Some people, including scientists, object to any procedure that changes the genetic composition of an organism. Critics are concerned that some of the genetically altered forms will eliminate existing species, thereby upsetting the natural balance of organisms. There are also fears that recombinant DNA experiments with pathogenic microorganisms may result in the formation of extremely virulent forms which, if accidentally released from the laboratory, will cause worldwide epidemics. Some critics cite ethical dilemmas associated with the production of transgenic organisms.
In 1976, in response to fears of disastrous consequences of unregulated genetic engineering procedures, the National Institutes of Health created a body of rules governing the handling of microorganisms in recombinant DNA experiments. Although many of the rules have been relaxed over time, certain restrictions are still imposed on those working with pathogenic microorganisms.

Red Shift, antagonist with gearShifts, are wonder of the modern discovery. This is a shift observed towards longer wavelengths in spectral lines of some or many celestial objects. Lastime when I was revamping my knowledge of astro-physics, red shift got deep in, consequently this brief in here from Encarta-2006 goes like:
Red Shift, shift towards longer wavelengths observed in the lines of spectra of celestial objects. The American astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble, in 1929, linked the red shift observed in spectra of galaxies to the expansion of the universe. Hubble suggested that this red shift, called the cosmological red shift, is caused by the Doppler effect and hence indicates the speed of recession of the galaxies—and, by using Hubble's law, the distances of the galaxies.
A second mechanism for the red shift is the gravitational red shift, also called the Einstein shift. It was predicted by Albert Einstein's general relativity theory, according to which periodic processes are slowed down in a gravitational field. The Einstein shift is noticeable in the spectra of compact massive stars, such as white dwarfs.
The large red shifts observed in quasars are generally believed to be cosmological. Some scientists, however, believe that the red shifts in quasars are caused by the Einstein shift or by another unknown mechanism.
A girl and a guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road on a motorcycle……..
Girl: Slow down. I'm scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, its too scary.
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
>>> Girl hugs him>>>
Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it on yourself? It's bugging me.
>>> In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on it. But only one survived.
>>> Truth >>>
The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his brakes broke, but didn't let the girl know it. Instead, he had her say she loved him and felt her hug him one last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die.
If there's anyone in life you love this much, please comment on.
Proclamation to the Nation from His Majesty King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (21 April 2006)
Beloved Countrymen,
You are all aware that, given the situation prevailing in the country then, we were compelled to take the decision of 1 February 2005 to set in motion a meaningful exercise in multiparty democracy by activating all elected bodies, ensuring peace and security and a corruption-free good governance through the collective wisdom, understanding and the united efforts of all the Nepalese. By supporting our decision, the Nepalese people made amply clear their desire for peace and democracy and the civil servants demonstrated sincerity towards their duties. We are appreciative of this. We also have high regard for the dutifulness, valour and discipline displayed by the security personnel, upholding their glorious traditions.
By visiting different parts of the country, we made honest endeavours to acquaint ourselves with the hopes and aspirations of our people, mitigate their hardships and boost their morale. We also called on the political parties to enter into a dialogue in the interest of the nation and people afflicted by violence and terrorism. However, this did not materialise. The ideals of democracy can be realised only through the active participation of political parties. In keeping with the traditions of the Shah Dynasty to reign in accordance with the popular will in the greater interest of the nation and people and our unflinching commitment towards Constitutional Monarchy and multiparty democracy, we, through this Proclamation, affirm that the Executive Power of the Kingdom of Nepal, which was in our safekeeping, shall, from this day, be returned to the people and be exercised in accordance with Article 35 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal - 1990. As the source of Sovereign Authority is inherent in the people, harmony
and understanding must be preserved in the interest of the nation and people in an environment of peace and security. While safeguarding multiparty democracy, the nation must be taken ahead along the road of peace and prosperity by bringing into the democratic mainstream those who have deviated from the constitutional path. Similarly, a meaningful exercise in democracy must be ensured with the activation of representative bodies through elections as soon as possible. We, therefore, call upon the Seven Party Alliance to recommend a name, for the post of Prime Minister, at the earliest for the constitution of the Council of Ministers which will bear the responsibility of governing the country in accordance with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal - 1990. The present Council of Ministers will continue to function until the appointment of the Prime Minister.
May Lord Pashupatinath bless us all!
Jaya Nepal!

Future on the Earth is beyond our imagination. By 2035, we would have enchanting wow! Are we living? There is no doubt that many scientific innovations are already crouching our way of life. Cyborgs are no more human dreams, fantasy will rule our mind. A little brain to think of the earthly phenomenon of decades ahead!
One of the ever to be organized assembly on Future Summit is certainly going to procreate advancements we'd have never thought of. Projects that could lead to new sources of energy; cures for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and migraine headaches; machines that will soon fill the world around us, as well as machines we'll implant in ourselves. CNN Future Summit is what this all about.
An Englishman in Singapore. An Australian in Boston. An American in Toulouse. One is seeking to create artificial life; others to create artificial intelligence. The committee of ten helping to shape our discussion of the future of science and technology is really immense to talk of.
A CNN Future Summit technology profile has details to be explored. I suggest You visit these pages which discuss the following scopes and areas to be expounded.
ü Cybernetics: Merging machine and man
Ever since our ancestors first started making tools, humanity has been trying to go beyond its limitations to improve on the way our bodies interact with nature.
ü Robots: The future is now
Humans have always been fascinated by the idea of robots. Science-fiction, so often the medium through which society explores the potential impact of new technology, has always been obsessed with robots, and some of the most enduring sci-fi characters have been robots, from R2D2 and C3PO, to The Terminator and Data.
ü The promise of stem cell research
Chances are very good you've heard about stem cells. Whether from reports of their almost miraculous ability to cure and restore, or very public controversies over their source or the research itself, stem cells have been a hot topic in the news for years.
ü The code of life
Genes are the basic building blocks of life, and in studying them genetic science is giving us the ability to adapt and alter ourselves fundamentally, providing unprecedented opportunities to improve on nature.
Some areas to be explored in this summit are from genetic engineering, cyborg, genetic testing, future of humanity, brain signals and their utilizations with recordings, making work on beyond human ability thru human themselves, possibility of stem cell therapy: applications and workings, robots on daily lives, society; and work, humanoid robots to befren, and so many.

Heavily inspired by French Surgery, now Chinese face transplant has got it up! It's now might be dream of youngster to have one new face. One Chinese paper run like this:
Doctors Vying for Chinese 1st Face Transplant
Three Chinese doctors are vying to carry out the country's first face transplant.
Medics in France made history last month when they carried out the world's first partial face transplant on a woman who was injured by her dog.
It has now emerged a trio of doctors in China Li Qingfeng in Shanghai, Hong Zhijian from Jiangsu Province and Chen Huanran of Beijing are looking to take the procedure to the next level, the Beijing News daily reported yesterday.
Li, of the Shanghai No 9 People's Hospital, affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University, declared on December 1 that he is brooding over a whole face transplant, which is expected to take at least 12 hours to perform.
Six days later, Hong, from Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command, said he was looking for volunteers to be his first face transplant recipient.
Yes, today I am going to discuss about my latest troubles and case of migraine DVD burning fires. I knew duplicate mean no-branded blank DVDs cost no more than Rs 30/DVD but I wanted to back up all my 7 GB music in DVDs so that I could have my hard disk for some good purposes.
Keeping this thing in mind, I bought some- about 3, Samsung Pleomax DVD+R8X with capacity 4.7 GB. But to my surprise none of these worked after successful burning by Nero on LG DVD+RAM. My furiousness lasted no longer my dislike for Samsung grew even more- once my very new Samsung CD-RW did not work after a month of purchasing- but this case is more disgusting, isn?t it?
I tried these DVDs on the LG DVD+RAM and worked for the very first trial after burning on the same DVD+RAM but after I tried on my PC with Lite-On DVD-ROM 16X, but in vain. These DVDs were written at the speed of 8X.
I had deleted all my music after I burned these DVDs. And for now I do have nothing to get listen to, neither DVDs work nor have I got any left on my hard disk.
How can I get off the situation? Is there any way to recover my precious music files? Is the case with Samsung really? Anyone please do help me, get of this trio.
Hope lastime you enjoyed GIRLFRIEND 1.0 but surprising not everything (huh huh) go rite. The upgraded version of Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 version is now getting troubles. In case, had you not read GIRLFRIEND 1.0, do click here because without reading that reading this is A MERE FANTASY ha haaaaa.
Make Sure To Read GIRLFRIEND 1.0 Before Reading This Version
Last year, after hearing how great it was for so long, a friend of mine upgraded from Girlfriend 3.0 to Wife 1.0. He has found Wife 1.0 to be a resource hog, leaving him very little free space for other applications. Wife 1.0 is also spawning Child-Subroutines, which further consumes valuable system resources. His system performance and resources seem to diminish with each passing day. At first, he thought Wife 1.0 might be infected with a virus, but other users have assured him that Wife 1.0 is behaving normally and this behavior should be expected due to the nature of the application.
My friend also discovered that Wife 1.0 installed itself in such a way that it can monitor all other system activity. He now finds that some programs such as PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash 5.1 and PubNight 7.0 cannot run at all. If he attempts to launch them, Wife 1.0 complains about a sharing violation and crashes. He finds this behavior strange since he could run these programs just fine before he upgraded.
At installation, he found Wife 1.0 provides no option to bypass the installation of undesired add-ons such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and BrotherInLaw Beta release.
Some features he would like to see introduced in the upcoming Wife 2.0 release:
* A "Don't Remind Me Again" button.
* A Minimize button.
* An Install Shield that allows Wife 2.0 to be uninstalled at anytime without the loss of cache or other system resources.
* An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode.
I have decided to forego all the headaches associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking to Girlfriend 3.0. However, even that option has many problems. Apparently, you cannot install one version of Girlfriend before you completely uninstall the old version first. To make matters worse, the uninstall program for Girlfriend doesn't work very well, leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. If the newer version finds a reference to the old version, Girlfriend will completely freeze until you reboot and remove the stray reference. I am told this is a long standing bug which I should have been aware of.
Also, versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now. Another thing that stinks -- all versions of Girlfriend continually popup little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0.
***** BUG WARNING *****
Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.0 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete all MSMoney files and take all your cache before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.0. will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.
***** BUG WORKAROUNDS *****
If you can afford it, try installing Mistress 1.0 on an entirely different system and never run any file transfer applications such as LapLink 6.0.
Another possible solution would be to run Mistress 1.0 via an ISP under an anonymous name.

Research on REM sleep suggests that there is a biologically relevant reason for dreaming. The revised version of the Hobson-McCarley activation synthesis hypothesis acknowledges the deep psychological core of dreams. In its present truncated form, the hypothesis of random brain stem activation has little explanatory or predictive power.
The Crick-Mitchison hypothesis provides a function for REM sleep—reverse learning—but it does not apply to narrative, only to the bizarre elements of the dream. What this implies with regard to REM processing in lower species must be defined before the theory can be evaluated further. In addition, the Crick-Mitchison hypothesis as applied to the hippocampus would suggest that neurons fire randomly during REM sleep, providing reverse learning. Instead, in my experiment on the neurons that coded space, these neurons fired selectively, implying an orderly processing of memory.
Recently Avi Karni and his colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel were able to show that memory processing occurs in humans during REM sleep. In their experiment, individuals learned to identify particular patterns on a screen. The memory of this skill improved after a night with REM sleep. When the subjects were deprived of REM sleep, memory consolidation did not occur. This study is an important breakthrough and opens a particularly promising field for exploration.
Further study will continue to elucidate the meaning of dreams. In particular, an experiment is needed to determine whether eliminating theta rhythm during REM sleep alone results in a memory deficit. Because theta rhythm has not been demonstrated in primates, it may have disappeared as vision replaced olfaction as the dominant sense. An equivalent neural mechanism may exist in the hippocampus that periodically activates the NMDA receptor. These studies in animals and others to come in humans will probe fundamental aspects of memory processing and the neuroscientific basis of human psychological structure.

In the real world, ants (initially) wander randomly, and when having found food, returning to their colony while laying down pheromone trails. If other ants find such a path, they are likely not to travel on at random but to follow the trail, and return and reinforce it if they eventually find food. (Details on this behaviour.)
Over time, however, the pheromone trail starts to evaporate, thus reducing its attractive strength. The more time it takes for an ant to travel down the path and back again, the more time the pheromones have to evaporate. A short path, by comparison, gets marched over faster, and thus the pheromone density remains high as it is laid on the path as fast as it can evaporate.
Thus, when one ant finds a good (short, in other words) path from the colony to a food source, other ants are more likely to follow that path, and positive feedback eventually leaves all the ants following a single path. The idea of the ant colony algorithm is to mimic this behavior with "simulated ants" walking around the graph representing the problem to solve.
Ant colony optimization algorithms have been used to produce near-optimal solutions to the traveling salesman problem. They have an advantage over simulated annealing and genetic algorithm approaches when the graph may change dynamically; the ant colony algorithm can be run continuously and adapt to changes in real time. This is of interest in network routing.
Particle swarm optimization
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is form of swarm intelligence. Imagine a swarm of insects or a school of fish. If one sees a desirable path to go (ie for food, protection, etc.) the rest of the swarm will be able to follow quickly even if they are on the opposite side of the swarm.
This is modeled by particles in multidimensional space that have a position and a velocity. These particles are flying through hyperspace and remember the best position that they have seen. Members of a swarm communicate good positions to each other and adjust their own position and velocity based on these good positions.
Swarm intelligence
Swarm intelligence (SI) is an artificial intelligence technique based around the study of collective behaviour in decentralised, self-organised, systems. The expression "swarm intelligence" was introduced by Beni & Wang in 1989, in the context of cellular robotic systems (see also cellular automata).
SI systems are typically made up of a population of simple agents interacting locally with one another and with their environment. Although there is normally no centralised control structure dictating how individual agents should behave, local interactions between such agents often lead to the emergence of global behaviour. Examples of systems like this can be found in nature, including ant colonies, bird flocking, animal herding, bacteria molding and fish schooling.
Two of the most successful swarm intelligence techniques currently in existence are Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). ACO is a metaheuristic that can be used to find approximate solutions to difficult combinatorial optimization problems. In ACO artificial ants build solutions by moving on the problem graph and they, mimicking real ants, deposit artificial pheromone on the graph in such a way that future artificial ants can build better solutions. ACO has been successfully applied to an impressive number of optimization problems. PSO is a global minimisation technique for dealing with problems in which a best solution can be represented as a point or surface in an n-dimensional space. Hypotheses are plotted in this space and seeded with an initial velocity, as well as a communication channel between the particles. Particles then move through the solution space, and are evaluated according to some fitness criterion after each timestep. Over time, particles are accelerated towards those particles within their communication grouping which have better fitness values. The main advantage of such an approach over other global minimisation strategies such as simulated annealing is that the large number of members that make up the particle swarm make the technique impressively resilient to the problem of local minima.
Applications of Swarm Technology
Swarm Intelligence-based techniques can be used in a number of applications. The U.S. military is investigating swarm techniques for controlling unmanned vehicles. NASA is investigating the use of swarm technology for planetary mapping. A 1992 paper by M. Anthony Lewis and George A. Bekey discusses the possibility of using swarm intelligence to control nanobots within the body for the purpose of killing cancer tumors. Swarm technology is particularly attractive because it is cheap, robust, and simple.

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity.
Applications such as Poker-night 10.3 and Beer-bash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot seem to purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 1.0 but uninstall does not work on this program. Can you help me?
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a "UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT" program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 2.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than original system. Look in your manual under Warnings - Alimony / Child Support. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation.
Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Protection Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur. The best course of action will be to push apologize button then reset button as soon as lock-up occurs. System will run smooth as long as you take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high maintenance.
This story was related by Pat Routledge of Winnepeg, ONT about an unusual
telephone service call he handled while living in England.
It is common practice in England to signal a telephone subscriber by
signaling with 90 volts across one side of the two wire circuit and
ground (earth in England). When the subscriber answers the phone, it
switches to the two wire circuit for the conversation.
This method allows two parties on the same line to be signalled
without disturbing each other.
This particular subscriber, an elderly lady with several pets called
to say that her telephone failed to ring when her friends called and
that on the few occations when it did manage to ring her dog always
barked first. Torn between curiosity to see this psychic dog and a
realization that standard service techniques might not suffice in this
case, Pat proceeded to the scene. Climbing a nearby telephone pole
and hooking in his test set, he dialed the subscriber's house. The
phone didn't ring. He tried again. The dog barked loudly, followed
by a ringing telephone.
Climbing down from the pole, Pat found:
a. Dog was tied to the telephone system's ground post via an iron chain
and collar.
b. Dog was receiving 90 volts of signalling current.
c. After several jolts, the dog was urinating on ground and barking.
d. Wet ground now conducted and phone rang.
Which goes to prove that some grounding problems can be passed on......

Jacques-Louis de Bougrenet de la Tocnaye, né le  à Nantes et mort le  à Bouguenais, est un militaire et voyageur français qui fut le compagnon d'exil de Chateaubriand.

Biographie
Jacques de Latocnaye est né à Nantes le , dans une famille de petite et ancienne noblesse d'origine vendéenne, de tradition militaire. Le nom de Latocnaye est celui d'une terre à Sainte-Marie de Pornic, entrée dans la famille Bougrenet par mariage en 1574.

D'abord officier dans l'armée royale (régiment de Monsieur), il fuit la Révolution et émigre en 1791. Il s'engage dans l'Armée des Princes à Coblence. Après la dissolution de cette armée à l'automne 1792, il part pour Londres où il arrive fin . Il rencontre Chateaubriand. S'ennuyant rapidement dans le milieu des émigrés désœuvrés et sans ressources, il entreprend un voyage en Angleterre, puis en Écosse, en Irlande et finalement en Scandinavie.

Muni d'argent et de lettres de recommandation pour des notables et des ecclésiastiques de l'Église Établie, il loge chez l'habitant et dans les résidences de ses hôtes, et se déplace presque uniquement à pied, portant un bagage très réduit. Il rédige en français des récits de voyage qu'il fait imprimer à ses frais et place lui-même en souscription et chez les libraires. Ses ouvrages ont du succès et sont rapidement traduits en anglais et en allemand.

Il rentre en France en 1802 et obtient sa radiation des listes de l'émigration mais ne se rallie pas au Consulat, contrairement à Chateaubriand. Son frère Joseph-Louis était mort à la guerre dans les armées de la République. Il se retire à Thouaré et Luçon dans sa famille. Il sera décoré à la Restauration au titre de l'armée des émigrés. Il ne reprendra pas d'activité au service de l'État. Son frère cadet Alexandre-Charles sera sous-préfet à Paimbœuf.

Sophomore Starters for Morgan Volleyball
Written by Taylor Marnett and Emily Davis |
Freshmen and sophomore athletes dream of the day they get to step onto the varsity court for the first time, playing alongside their upperclassmen idols. This is not just a dream for three athletes on the Morgan Volleyball team, however, it's turned into a reality.
Sophomores Maggie Mahoney, Sarah Kuever, and Charlotte Davenport have all secured a spot in the varsity starting lineup, due to hard work and facing their fears. Transforming from a JV player one year to a consistent varsity player the next is a lot of pressure, which is what Maggie agreed with when she said, "Starting on varsity is pretty scary sometimes, but it's a good experience." Even though starting can be scary and a lot of pressure, all the girls agree that it is a good opportunity. "Starting varsity for volleyball is a really good opportunity because it will help me in the future," Charlotte said.
In order to smooth the transition from JV to varsity, some athletes participate in offseason clinics or leagues, which help to tone skills, build experience and confidence. Charlotte, who was strictly a JV player as a freshman, stated, "I worked my butt off in the offseason to get to where I am. It's just a good opportunity." Now Charlotte is one of the team's middle hitters, which is a prominent role on the court.
Even though all positions on the court are important, the setter is the most crucial. The setter usually touches the ball every time it's on their side of the court, which ends up being a lot of touches. Sarah is the team's setter, and she feels this way about starting, "I'm nervous about starting, but I'm also really excited to be on the varsity squad." So far the team is 4-2 and if you want to see the sophomore starters, come and support this Wednesday, September 27th at 5:30.

Shower of Roses: Almost Wordless Wednesday: Painted Walls!
Almost Wordless Wednesday: Painted Walls!
I can't believe that it is already Wednesday? How was I ever able to find the time to blog almost daily??
It's not as colorful as I first imagined. . . In fact I was telling our contractors wife that I probably should have chosen a different color for the walls around the fireplace. . . "Perhaps a darker shade of brown!" ;) Anyhow, even though they are very neutral colors, I think they look nice and can't wait to see how it looks when the rooms are all finished.
The tile floors and cabinets are currently being installed and I was really looking forward to it all being completed by the end of the month. However, I just found out that the countertops won't be able to be installed for five weeks. :-( I guess I'm just going to have to keep working on being patient!
Sorry to hear baout the marble delay...maybe someone will cancel and they'll slip you in sooner. Can you ask about that?
All things will feel so new now, enjoy!
This is all coming together so nicely and I am so excited for you!
I went without a kitchen for 2 months and had to wash my dishes in the bathtub! LOL! It always takes longer than planned. Believe it or not, all this waiting will be worth it in the long run. At least it is summer and you can eat outside.
Jessica- wanted to let you know we did find a deacons's gift for my father. We purchased a beautiful alb for him that has a little bit of silver lining around the hem and sleeves. Gorgeous! We can't wait to attend mass and see him wearing it! Your house is looking amazing!! I can't wait to see what delicious creations await your bloggers as your kitchen is completed. Just think it is too HOT to bake now anyway. You can break in the new kitchen just in time for the fall season!
Great warm colors! Lovely. Can't wait to see your finished product. I am sure you can't either!
It looks beautiful. Don't worry, soon this will all just be a distant memory!

The teaser quote I posted on Instagram yesterday is probably the most iconic phrase from the movie.
I was going to use "Hi, this is Nikki, leave a message" but the pain felt during that scene is insane. In. Sane.
Trent in the diner at the end of the film, flirting with the woman a few booths down is one of my all time favorite movie scenes ever.
Imitation is the biggest form of flattery, right? So I put on my best faux-Vince wig, grabbed a cup of coffee, and pretended that I was in Swingers too.

Druckman takes Trucost challenge
One of the UK's foremost figures in accounting for
sustainability has taken on a new challenge leading an
environmental data company.
Paul Druckman is a past president of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, chairman
of the Federation of European Accountants sustainability policy
group and chairman of the executive board of the Prince of Wales
Accounting for Sustainability project.
Adding to his raft of positions, he recently
became chairman of environmental data company Trucost. Trucost
maintains a data base with information on 4,500 global companies,
including the world's largest.
There are two sides to the business. One is
selling the data and services based on the data to investors; the
other is providing the data to companies so they can see their own
environmental footprints and impacts.
Druckman said he believes Trucost occupies a
niche spot in the market.
"There are no other organisations doing what
we do," he told The Accountant. "There are other
organisations that provide data, but it is not the same concept
because we are maintaining, validating, standardising and
monetising the data that we have.
"We have the data and the model to have a
complete environmental footprint, it's more than just about carbon.
Some companies are doing different pieces of that, but not the
overall complete set."
Environmental performance
To date, much of Trucost's emphasis
has been on the investor side of the business, for example
informing investors who want to know if a fund is low carbon.
"[Trucost can find] the best performing
companies or the worst performing companies in terms of their
environmental impact," Druckman said. "If you want to build a low
carbon fund, how do you know which companies are low carbon? It may
not be that you only invest in the lowest, but at least you will
see the ranking and make an informed decision."
The company is making inroads into the public
sector as well as the corporate sector.
"We have contracts on the supply chain side
with local authorities and health care organisations," Druckman
"Some of them have incentives to do that
through government schemes and incentives. Others just want to be
best practice."
Druckman's role at Trucost combines the three
areas of specialisation he has developed during the past 10 years –
technology, sustainability and the accounting profession.
First, Trucost is essentially a technology
solution. Second, its provision of environmental data hits the
sustainability mark. Finally, Trucost converts non-financial
environmental information into financial information.
"Trucost has the ability to make the
accounting profession understand what all this is about because of
the quantitative nature of the data," Druckman explained.
Druckman said this financial data is a raw
material that businesses can use to build sustainability issues
into financial models.
"It has always been possible [to embed
sustainability into investment decision making], but it is still a
big learning curve for an accountant," Druckman added.
"Accountants in normal practice must start
looking at these externalities rather than just the financial
return because they need to understand that the world is changing
and there are other pressures on the behaviour of a company that
will affect its value, and not just in an altruistic sense. Now
here is something they can actually grab hold of and use with a
clearer understanding."
Druckman said one opportunity for Trucost is
to move beyond being a separate data source and become embedded in
what other organisations do.
"Accounting software houses could have Trucost
environmental data associated with their accounting systems,"
Druckman said.
"Going back to the accounting side of it,
there is no reason why management accounts should not now include
an environmental footprint."

Since its inception at the University of Iowa, the Tippie College of Business Masters of Accountancy (M.Ac.) program has been dedicated to providing a unique, lasting experience for the future success of its students. What's backing up that notion? The program was recently ranked 39th out of 50 graduate accounting programs by Accounting Degree Review.
Accounting Degree Review created its rankings by pulling information from U.S. News and World Report, Public Accounting Report, Brigham Young University and the Association to Advance College Schools of Business accreditation.
As explained by Daniel Collins, accounting professor and department executive officer, the strength of the program lies within the unique development of writing skills and analytical skills.
Collins also points out the quality that the instructors provide for the program.
As for the future of the program, the focus is driven by the success of its students and raising the program's visibility.
Tippie's Masters of Accountancy program allows students to complete the 150 semester hours necessary for the CPA exam and provides four specializations in financial/auditing, business analytics, managerial accounting, and tax.

Clearing out individual app caches can make way for new apps, but it can also become very time consuming. Follow these easy steps to help you see which apps are soaking up the majority of your cache and new app space.
Having tons of apps to choose from is one of the main perks of having a smartphone. Unfortunately, some apps may be keeping more stuff on your phone than just the core files needed by the app. This "stuff" is the cache for each app, which can be easily cleaned out to offer more space for new apps. Normally, you would need to look at the details for each individual app to see how much cache space it is consuming. However, with the use of one small app you can view their cache sizes all in one place, and then decide which ones to clear. Follow these steps to get started.
Note: For apps you use the most often, you should probably keep the cache if you want them to load quickly. These would be things like your Twitter client, or even Foursquare where many images are needed to load the timeline/client completely.
1. Go to the Android Market and download 1Tap Cleaner Free.
3. Press on the name of the app whose cache you want to clear.
4. On the next screen, press on the Clear Cache button near the bottom.
Optional - 5. Press Clear all cached files button at the top to clean everything at once!
This app is great because it doesn't require root access to use like many other Cache cleaners. While you still need to visit the app details to clear caches individually, being able to see all cache sizes at once is definitely handy.

Best .NET obfuscation tools/strategy
Should you obfuscate a commercial .Net application?

Good day everyone.
I'm ready to release a small c# game, but I've heard that it is extremely easy to disassemble/decompile c# application if it is "deployed" as it is. So my question - what can I do to prevent, or at least make it harder for people to disassemble/decompile my application?
Is there more then one way? If so, what do you think is best?
UPD: As was pointed below using default obfuscator might pose some problem with reflections, because I use lua interpreter for ingame scripts.
Thanks in advance.

A: Visual studio contains the "Dotfuscator" (Tools->Dotfuscator Software Services in VS 2010) which obfuscates your code for you. It can pose certain problems if you implement reflection in your code, but it does give you options as to what you want it to do to your code, so there is some flexibility there as well.

New Nepal Government Likely by March 2018
The formation of new Nepal Government was earlier planned at the end of December 2017.
Finally, here is an interesting update regarding the formation of the new Nepali Government led by the Left alliance.
In a recent update, the formation of the new Nepali Government has been postponed to March 2018 post to the completion of National Assembly elections.
This was announced after a cabinet meeting on January 05, 2017 to discuss about the upcoming Assembly election.
Clearing the confusion over PM candidate, the recent announcement also informed that Khadga Prasad Oli would most likely be the next Nepali Prime Minister for a period of two-and-a-half years.
Following Oli, another key PM candidate of the left alliance Pushpa Kamal Dahal is likely to rule for the other two-and-a-half years of the term.
Constitutional Deadline Missed!
This update is coming at a time when the global Nepali community is waiting for the announcement of new government that was earlier planned at the end of December 2017.
While the constitution promulgated in 2015 called for the formation of new Nepali Government by mid-January 2018. However, political analysts feel that the constitutional deadline would be missed this time.
That is obvious because the Upper House is yet to be formulated. The Lower House is yet to be completed," says Dr Surendra KC, a Kathmandu-based political analyst.
According to the analysts, delay in submission of final election results to the President's office is resulting in the postponement of the new government formation.
National Assembly Election
Meanwhile, the National Assembly elections are scheduled for February 07, 2017.
The upcoming National Assembly election will see the election of 56 members including eight representatives each from seven provinces of the country.
And, the remaining three representatives will be directly selected by the President upon the government's recommendations.

The month of love also happens to be the month when many of us are still recovering from the festive season splurge. And with almost another two weeks until payday, the timing of Valentine's Day is not ideal for anyone's bank account.
"The good news is that there are many great ways to celebrate that won't break the bank," says Susan Steward, the marketing manager of Budget Insurance.
Romance starts at home. Ditch the restaurant frenzy and opt for a meal at home. Dust off those candles, make your loved one's favourite meal, switch on your favourite song, and your night is set. You could enjoy a delicious three-course meal at home for a third of the price of one at a restaurant and without the hassle of finding parking, dealing with frazzled waiters and putting up with an overcrowded restaurant.
Go out for dessert. Just because you can't go out for an expensive three- or five-course meal doesn't mean you can't go out at all. Have a nice dinner at home and head out to your favourite coffee shop or café for a sweet end to your meal.
Skip the knick-knacks. What will your Valentine do with that oversized, overpriced teddy bear, mug or giant red heart pillow? These things end up becoming unnecessary clutter, so rather save your money for a good bottle of wine or a delicious dessert.
Rent a cheesy movie and snuggle up. No dressing up, no paying for parking and no dealing with crowds. Put on the popcorn, get in your PJs and enjoy a romantic flick.
Brekkie in bed. Nothing beats this classic, cost-effective favourite. Add a few new twists, such as a jar filled with date-night ideas for every month until next Valentine's Day, or a photo album with your favourite moments from the last year – and don't forget to take a snap of your delicious creation to add to your album.
Get creative with DIY coupons. Create your own coupons for back massages or foot rubs, redeemable at any time, or for a night off. There are many practical things that will help to make your partner's life easier, such as washing dishes for a week or doing the grocery shopping for a month – the gift of time is invaluable.
Repeat your first date. This is really fun, particularly if you've been with your partner for a long time. If you can't relive it exactly, find a close alternative and revive those butterflies.
Avoid the floral fancy. A dozen red roses will set you back about R400, whereas you can buy a bouquet of sunflowers for about half that, so avoid the rose cliché and explore the many other floral options on offer.
Give the gift of undivided attention. This is absolutely free. Did you know that, according to a study conducted by British psychologists, the average young adult spends up to a third of their waking hours on their phones? By putting down your smartphone for a few hours, you're showing your partner just how much you love him or her.
Create a card. Valentine's cards can be expensive. Using relatively inexpensive materials from a craft shop, you can easily create a personalised card that will mean a lot more.
