The Corringham Light Railway (CLR) in Corringham, Essex, England was incorporated on 10 July 1899 and opened to freight on 1 January 1901, to passengers on 22 June 1901. It closed to passengers on 1 March 1952 and was absorbed into the Mobil Oil Company on 20 September 1971. The railway itself went from an end on junction with the London Tilbury and Southend Railway at Thames Haven to both Corringham and Kynochtown (later Coryton).

Overview
The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR) had a branch from Thames Haven Junction, near Stanford-le-Hope, to Thames Haven on the Thames Estuary. It was some  long. There was a passenger station at Thames Haven but it closed before the CLR opened.

The CLR ran from a junction with the LTSR near Thames Haven to the Kynoch explosives works at Shell Haven, with branches east to Kynochtown (later Coryton) and west to Corringham.

Corringham Station on the Fobbing Road was a substantial brick-built structure providing both male and female toilets, a bicycle shed and a small loading platform. Although the Light Railway order included a siding this was never laid. From the station the line headed down hill past two sidings, The first branched off towards a small brickworks and the second to a sewage works. Both were closed and removed before 1923. At the bottom of the incline the line crossed a bridge before heading across the marshes towards the works/LTSR it crossed the A1014 Manorway for the first time at Ironlatch crossing before heading straight for around a mile. At this point the line divided into a triangular junction with the LTSR and to Kynochtown/Coryton. The station at Kynochtown/Coryton was built in a similar style to Corringham but was built from wood. Originally the station was on a dead-end siding meaning that a train, once loaded, would have to reverse out to allow the locomotive pass to the front of the train.

On 20 September 1971 the CLR company became part of the Mobil Oil Company, serving its Coryton Refinery.

Closure and remains
After the refinery transferred to Vacuum Oil Company, later Mobil, improvements were made to the branch that entered the refinery. The last passenger train ran from Corringham station on Saturday 1 March 1952 at 12.20pm. By 12 April of that year, Corringham station and branch were noted as having been demolished.

The site of the station on Fobbing Road is apparent from the satellite view of postcode SS17 9DB. The trees that lined the track as it ran north and curved westward into the station are still present. The top end of the trackbed up to public footpath 22 including the platform and loop was sold to a housing developer in 1986 The rear of the station site (Behind the platform) became The Hawthorns estate: the rear of the brick platform is visible from The Hawthorns, behind "Station House" on the right. A series of fishponds now lie on the trackbed through the station site.  The gate post on Fobbing Road at the entrance to the station is still there, just across the road from Kynoch Villas and Digby Road.

Along the track bed there are various earth works and remaining structures, the first of which is the sewage works that once served the works colony (originally served by its own siding), The second of which are the large ponds in the grounds of the Pegasus club, these are the remains of the once rail served brick works. Finally there are the remains of Brickfield Bridge over Fobbing Creek.

At the site of Coryton Station the 1919 brick platform extension survives within the refinery and was restored cosmetically by BP in 1985 however the wooden waiting shelter/toilets have long since disappeared . Coryton station is an anomaly as usually a station is demolished when its railway closes, however the whole village of Coryton was demolished in the 1970s while leaving the station as intact as it was when the last trains ran.

Various items have survived in private hands, mainly tickets and photographs. A brick from Corringham station was rescued by an enthusiast and was subsequently incorporated into the wall of his home office. A fishplate was discovered in June 2013 after recent ploughing had uncovered it . One piece of rolling stock was also almost preserved: the final LTSR carriage was donated in the 1970s to Railway Vehicle Preservations, who are now based on the Great Central Railway. Unfortunately it was later destroyed by fire, though one door survived in a private collection. The door was restored as far as was practical and in 2012 was donated to the East Anglian Railway Museum (www.earm.co.uk) where it now features in the Carriage and Wagon display.

Locomotives

 0-4-0WT Cordite is referred to in some literature as Major or Cordite Major. It had been built for the West Lancashire Railway, and was re-plated in 1893, leading some older sources to give this as the build-date.
 0-4-2T Kynite, after being withdrawn during or just after World War I, was last steamed to provide steam in conjunction with building works at Cory's in C1922/23. 'Kynite' was the name of an explosive devised by Kynochs inn the 1890s.
 0-4-0ST Cordite, after leaving the CLR, was transferred to another of Kynochs' properties at Witton, which was later the property of Imperial Chemicals (ICI). A photograph dating from its time at Witton shows it with the number 2, leading some sources to speculate that it may have been so numbered on the CLR.
 0-6-0ST 1, was formerly from the War Department at Shoeburyness. Some sources refer to it as being numbered 1, though there are no photographs showing this loco numbered. It had already been out of service prior to scrapping, with a condemned firebox.

After the steam locomotives were scrapped the line was worked with diesel locomotives owned by Mobil Oil. However, there is no evidence that internal combustion locomotives ever ventured on to the Corringham branch before it was taken up in the 1950s.

Kynite was scrapped by T Ward and sons of Grays and the two Avonside locomotives were scrapped by Ray of Southend.

Although no steam locomotive that ran on the Corringham Light railway was preserved, the National Railway Museum has the works plate from Kynite on display in the works display and also owns a fine example of the Avonside B4 class (same as locomotives 2 and 1) in "Woolmer" Works No 1572 of 1910, currently on display at the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke. This, as CLR No 1, has a military origin, having run on the Longmoor Military Railway in Hampshire.

Rolling stock

For the opening two "toastrack" carriages were supplied by Kerr Stuart, a 1st/3rd composite with the 1st class area enclosed and a 3rd class all open, described as very modern and akin to the trams on Southend pier at the time. Initially only one carriage was used at a time as the Kitson locomotive was unable to draw two loaded carriages up the incline to Corringham. Later the composite carriage was fully enclosed and curtains were added to the 3rd class carriage because of the harsh weather on the marshes. By 1905 by a four-wheel 3rd class carriage of LTSR origin was added.

They were modified by the removal of the compartment partitions and the addition of a handbrake at one end acting on one wheel set. During the First World War three bogie carriages of Midland Railway origin were acquired due to a further influx in staff to Thames works, In addition several more four wheel carriages where acquired from the LTSR.
From the 1920s the passenger stock was reduced with the scrapping of many of the carriages acquired during the World War I, It was noted that at least one of the bogie carriages continued to be used past this time.  Towards the end of the passenger service on the railway one or two ex-LTSR four-wheel carriages continued to be used, as noted on a Stephenson Locomotive Society visit in 1948.

Freight stock varied between two and 14 wagons. Little is known about them, but there is photographic evidence of two four-wheel wagons, one regularly at Corringham and an ex LBSCR open wagon. There are many photographs from the later years of the CLR that show wagons belonging to Cory Brothers in use or dumped in derelict condition. However these do not appear to have ever been owned by the railway itself.

Staff
Although the CLR had directors and several secretaries over the years, it listed very few staff on its books. Kynochs (and later Cory's) kept costs down to a minimum by counting only the locomotive crews (ie the drivers and firemen) as actual employees of the CLR. Like many aspects of the CLR, not much has been recorded of them.

Later staff were direct employees of Mobil.

Corringham Light Railway Society

The Corringham Light Railway Project was founded in 2013 by a group of local people attempting to save the remaining trackbed of the Corringham Light Railway. Unfortunately time has not been kind to what remains of the Corringham Light Railway. In December 2014 the Corringham Light Railway Society was formed by former members of the project it now aims to research and discover as much as possible about the old line and if possible assist in the preservation of any remaining artifacts.

The Society's secondary aims are to preserve the general railway History of the Thurrock Area in conjunction with other groups.

Corey Lewandowski's lobbying career is failing because he's a terrible lobbyist
The former Trump campaign manager can't deliver as a lobbyist, ushering in his ignominious fall
By Matthew Rozsa
May 15, 2017 10:53PM (UTC)
Corey Lewandowski (Reuters/Mark Kauzlarich)
Less than two weeks after President Donald Trump's former campaign manager left the lobbying firm he co-founded in disgrace, Corey Lewandowski is the subject of a new journalistic profile that sheds light on why his lobbying venture was such a disaster in the first place:
Despite all his talk, Lewandowski simply could not deliver results for his clients.
Although Lewandowski claims that he turned down "a number of significant positions inside the administration" before choosing on his own to be a lobbyist, he actually struggled as a lobbyist because he often failed to get them what they wanted within the Trump administration, according to a new report by GQ. For instance, the San Francisco-based startup Flow Health dumped Lewandowski's lobbying firm Avenue Strategies after they failed to deliver on a promise to get the Department of Veterans Affairs to quickly reconsider a deal in which Flow Health would help them use artificial intelligence to improve patient care.
Lewandowski also ran into difficulty because of the simple fact that he had not registered as a lobbyist. As his partner Barry Bennett told The Washington Post, "It is hard to not lobby and own a chunk of a lobbying firm." In addition, the article also points out that Lewandowski is deeply disliked by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump, both of whom hold considerable and lasting sway over the president's thinking.
As Trump political adviser Roger Stone put it to GQ, "Here's the thing about lobbying. Your clients expect results, not double talk, not happy horseshit, not show and tell. It's not enough to impress them on TV. It's about getting something done."

Additive manufacturing has come a long way since the days of rapid prototyping. Since its emergence in the 1980s, 3D printing technologies have found innovative applications and are helping to reduce production costs and lead times, improve product performance and make mass customisation viable at scale. Nevertheless, AM faces key challenges when it comes to large-scale production. In this article, we outline the 8 challenges the industry faces, and the steps being taken to address them.
However, the fact remains that upfront investment in the technology – from hardware to materials and potentially post-processing equipment – will be required.
For those looking to metal 3D printing, for example, metal AM machines can easily cost upwards of $100,000, not including the costs of materials and the post-processing equipment.
However, there are a number of steps that can and are already being taken to address this.
One low barrier to entry is to enlist the services of 3D printing service bureaus and leveraging their expertise to identify the most pertinent 3D printing applications for your business.
Alongside identifying the areas where 3D printing will be an asset, manufacturers should also evaluate costs to understand whether 3D printing or traditional methods (injection moulding, CNC machining etc.) would be best suited for a particular application.
On the flip side, as the industry matures, lower machine, materials and operating costs are expected. These developments will, in time, facilitate AM's transition towards series production.
To support the high volumes (and short lead times) needed for serial production, additive manufacturing workflows have to be both fast and scalable. Currently, most AM systems lack the speed required for mass production, particularly when compared to conventional manufacturing methods.
While AM hardware manufacturers are developing faster systems to address this, print time per part is only one piece of the puzzle. All pre- and post-processing steps also determine potential throughput and must also be taken into account.
Post-processing, for example, is a key bottleneck. Almost all 3D-printed parts will require some type of post-processing, which accounts for 30-60% of the overall production process. Finding ways to automate the post-processing stage will be necessary – and companies like PostProcess Technologies are already proposing post-processing solutions.
Improving AM build times, automating each stage of the AM workflow and minimising post-processing steps are, therefore, crucial steps needed to scale AM to larger volume operations.
The need for repeatability when it comes to series production can't be understated. However, consistently producing reliable parts is an ongoing challenge AM faces. Using the same settings, for example, can still lead to differences in producing the same part.
The list of factors that can impact the quality of a final part is lengthy and includes: part orientation within the build platform, machine calibration, material quality and how parts are removed from a build.
All of the process variables involved in the process must be strictly defined and controlled to enable a successful print each and every time, which is no small feat.
The good news is that the industry is taking steps to enable predictive and reproducible additive manufacturing. For example, AM system manufacturers are developing new machines equipped with in-process monitoring and closed-loop feedback control systems to enable greater control over the manufacturing process.
Materials development has come a long way since the proprietary filaments of old. Currently, 3D printing technologies can be used with a broad range of materials including metals, ceramics, polymers and composites.
And yet, the availability of suitable materials remains one of the biggest barriers to using additive manufacturing as a production method. Material diversity is limited, with only a relatively small set of compatible materials available.
One reason for this lies in the proprietary nature of many 3D-printable materials. While making materials proprietary can help a company establish its monopoly, it forces customers to buy their materials directly from their 3D printer manufacturers.
Certifying AM materials is the second hurdle. Certification is required to ensure that AM materials meet the same standards as traditional methods, and can be a time-consuming, expensive process.
That said, the AM materials market is rapidly evolving, with the vast majority of manufacturers now open to the development of new materials by third parties. Some companies, like Ultimaker and HP, are actively embracing an open-platform approach, enabling collaboration with some of the largest materials suppliers. These developments will, in turn, enable faster materials innovation.
In a recent interview with AMFG, Ultimaker President John Kawola says: "In the past, most 3D printing technologies were limited to just a handful of materials, primarily for prototyping. The biggest companies in that space, like 3D Systems, EOS and Stratasys didn't have hundreds of material scientists on staff — they had a few and developed materials for their individual platforms.
Security is increasingly becoming a key concern for companies looking to adopt additive manufacturing.
Like other digital Industry 4.0 technologies, 3D printing is vulnerable to security risks and cyber attacks. The potential of stolen or tampered data, for example, could compromise a company's intellectual property.
Security will become particularly important as new business models encompassing virtual inventories and decentralised, on-demand production continue to gain traction. Reaching this stage will, however, require the development of tailored solutions to ensure security and IP protection across the entire AM ecosystem.
As of now, such solutions are in the early stages of adoption. Companies, like AMFG and LEO Lane, are striking strategic partnerships. Others are filing patents and launching initiatives to adapt security technologies like blockchain for additive manufacturing.
Addressing the concerns of securing the digital thread will not only raise the level of confidence in 3D printing as a production technology but also enable greater traceability across the supply chain.
The lack of a comprehensive set of standards for additive manufacturing remains one of the key barriers for the technology to go mainstream.
In highly regulated industries like aerospace & defence, medical and automotive, 3D-printed parts destined for end use must meet strict requirements. Certification and standardisation will be key to building this confidence and establish robust certification approaches. Currently, many of the existing manufacturing guidelines apply only to traditional manufacturing methods, and new standards will need to be developed or adapted for AM.
However, the journey towards AM standardisation is a long one. Fortunately, some of the largest Standards Development Organisations, like ISO and ASTM International, have already begun the process of developing industry-wide standards.
Thanks to their efforts, there are already more than 25 approved standards with an additional 19 standards under development (as of the end of 2018). ASTM International also invests heavily in AM-focused research projects, looking to bridge the gaps between R&D, standardisation and the broader commercialisation of the industry.
Perhaps the most significant barrier to AM adoption is the current skills gap. A 2016 report by Deloitte concludes that nine out of ten manufacturers are struggling to hire workers with the right skills. The skills shortage, then, is one faced by manufacturing as a whole.
Advanced technologies like additive manufacturing require a new set of skills. Take design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) as an example: tools like generative design and topology optimisation will require engineers to rethink conventional approaches to design. Other areas include machine maintenance, material handling and post-processing knowledge.
Education and training will be the solution to make the transition. Companies must actively invest in educating their workforce, giving employees the opportunity to learn and drive innovation through these advanced technologies.
3D printing is one of the important technologies in establishing "smart factories" .
Yet, the reality is that most companies struggle to establish an end-to-end AM workflow management process. One bottleneck lies in using different software packages to go from design to the finished part. This creates a disconnected process, greatly reducing efficiency.
Fortunately, there is an increasing number of solutions to address this bottleneck. For example, workflow automation software has emerged to address the problems of disconnected workflow processes. Using one platform to manage the entire AM ecosystem, from requests to post-production control, allows for both the automation of manual, routine tasks as well as greater traceability at every stage of the AM process.
Additive manufacturing has seen rapid development in recent years, and 2019 looks to be no exception. However, while progress is being made to industrialise AM, there is still some way to go before the technology can viably be used as a manufacturing method for end parts at scale. Costs will need to come down, greater focus put on training and companies will need to find the value of the technology for their applications. As the technology and industry mature and these challenges addressed, the rate of AM adoption will only increase.

The Jack Mormon Coffee Co beans were a lovely, oily black and the flavor produced by my Aeropress was perfect! So, thank you to whoever sent them.
T'was I! Pleased you liked them.
I am interested in Quarterly exchange. So much fun.
Just received the package, vypre. It'll be a day or two until I can sample, but I'm psyched, haven't had an Italian roast in forever.
Hope it was good. Wasn't sure how I felt about the latte I got from the place selling the HasBean, but my Cafe Nero latte was decent.
I found a better website about different coffee shops and roasters in the UK. So, I'll probably do some more thorough coffee investigation when I go back later this year.
I can report that the HasBean is dandy.
The problem with getting a good bag of coffee is that it's gone way to quickly.


Free nat. park entrance, as well as free entrance to USFWS, BLM, and USFS lands, occurs throughout the year. The NPS is giving RV travelers and others free admission on these 17 days during 2012.
WASHINGTON – To encourage Americans to explore America's natural beauty, rich history and culture, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced that the National Park Service will waive admission fees on 17 days in 2012. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the US Forest Service will also waive entrance fees on certain days to encourage folks to get outside and get active.
"From Independence Hall to our newest national park, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, our national parks tell the story of America, from the beauty of our land to our struggle for freedom and justice," Secretary Salazar said. "Whether or not it's during one of the 17 fee free days next year, I encourage everyone to visit a park near them and enjoy the remarkable landscapes and historical and cultural sites that are unique to our great country."
Salazar emphasized that our national parks and public lands serve as an economic engine for many local communities, supporting jobs and driving tourism. Recreation in national parks, refuges, and other public lands fueled nearly $55 billion in economic activity and supported 440,000 jobs in 2009.
"The majority of national parks don't have an entrance fee and those that do charge a maximum of $25 a week for an entire family," said Nat. Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. "We realize there are additional expenses when visiting a park, so many associated businesses will have discounts and enhancements on the fee free days."
"One of the great things about a national park vacation is it can be as economical or luxurious as desired," added Jarvis. "A visit can be a few hours or several days. One could pack their lunch or eat at a snack bar, cafeteria, or gourmet dining room. One could sleep under the stars in the backcountry or stay in a campground, motel, or majestic lodge. There is something for everyone at each of the country's 395 national parks. So mark the dates, grab a friend or family member – especially one that has never been to a park before – and come visit one of your national parks."

How Can One Invest In A Private Company?
Home / Bussiness / How Can One Invest In A Private Company?
April 14, 2021April 14, 2021By saahilk2200 comments
Generally, it is pretty easier to invest in a public traded entity than a privately owned company. Public companies, especially the bigger ones, can be bought and sold on the stock market quickly, and that's why they have superior liquidity and quote market value.
Contrariwise, it can take many years before they can buy and sell along with negotiation betwixt the buyer and seller in a private firm. Before beginning the investment process, entrepreneurs must carry out an online company registration as per the companies act, 2013 that makes investment legal.
Also, public companies are obliged to submit financial statements with the SEC (securities and exchange commission), making it easy to monitor their highs and lows on a quarterly and annual basis. Private companies are not obliged to give any information to the public. Hence, it can be challenging to determine their financial well-being, historical sales and profit trends.
Investment in a public company might seem superior compared to a private one, but there are plenty of benefits in not investing in a public firm. A fundamental criticism for a public firm is that they excessively concentrate on quarterly results and meet Wall street analysts' short-term expectations. In this way, they can miss out on the long-term value-creating opportunities like investing in a product that might take years to develop, hurting profits in the short-run. Private companies are managed efficiently when it comes to long-term investment as they are out of the shadow of Wall street's reach.
As an owner of the private firm means sharing more directly in the underlying firm's profits. Earning might grow at the public firms, but they are kept unless paid out as dividends or used to buy back stocks. At the same time, the private company's earnings can be directly paid to the proprietors. Private owners play a significant role in the firm's decision-making process, especially investors with large proprietorship stakes.
Types of private companies
From the investment point of view, a private company is known by its stage in development. For example, when an entrepreneur is first initiating a business, he/she usually receives funding from a family member or friend on very favourable terms. This stage is known as angel investing, while a private company is known as an angel firm. The start-up phase is venture capital investing, when a group of more intelligent investors provides growth capital, operational assistance, and managerial know-how. In this stage, the firm's long-term potential can be seen.
Afterward, level investing, which includes equity and debts, the last of which would convert to equity if the private company cannot meet its interest payment obligations. Later-stage private investing is known as private equity, and it is approximately two trillion-dollar business with many big players.
For investors, a private company's developmental stage can help explain how risky the investment is. For example, around three-quarters of angel investments fail. The risk comes more when the private company becomes more developed and profitable. Though many private firms aim to eventually go public and offer liquidity for company founders or other investors, other private firms might prefer to stay private given the benefits it provides. Family businesses might also prefer privacy and handling of proprietorship across the generations. These are the crucial matters to be mindful of while choosing to invest in a private company.
How to invest in a private company
Initially, private investing offers the most investment opportunities, but it comes with associated risk. Because joining an angel investor organization or investment group might be a good idea to make the process easier and potentially spread the investment risks across the vast group of firms. Venture funds also exist and seek outside partners for investing capital, and there are small or private business brokers that are experts in buying or selling these firms.
Private equity can also be an option, and several biggest private equity firms are publicly traded so that any investors can buy them. Several mutual funds can also provide at least some exposure to private companies.
It is crucial to repeat that private companies are not liquid and need very long investing time frames. Many investors would require eventual liquidity events to cash out. This consists of when the company goes public, buys out private shareholders, or is bought out by a competitor or another private equity firm. As with any other security, private companies must be valued to ascertain if they are fairly valued, undervalued or overvalued.
It is also vital to note that investing directly in private firms is generally reserved for affluent persons. The reason behind that they can handle the additional liquidity and associated risk. The SEC calls these people accredited investors or QIB (qualified institutional buyers) when it is an institution.
Key Takeway
Now, it is easier to invest in private companies. But investors are required to do their homework. When direct investment is not a viable option, investors must gain exposure to private firms via more diversified investment vehicles. But all in all, investors need to complete his/her homework before investing in private companies.

Capital City, Fascinating Pakistan, Islamabad, Life, Pakistan, People
Fascinating Pakistan: Islamabad - One of the most beautiful Capitals of the World
Islamabad - one of the most beautiful capital cities of the world. I first saw Islamabad when it had been recently inaugurated in 1966 my father shifted his Interpol office from Rawalpindi to Islamabad. Turning left traveling in the VW wagon of the then famous Waljis Travel Services, the Islamabad Highway was something I had never seen till that age of my life - the two lanes long highway with street lights in the green belt in between the two way traffic was an awesome scene for at that time no such road existed in Pakistan. That day, I entered the modern city of Islamabad overlooked by the lush green Margalla Hills.
Islamabad was still developing but roads were wider than any other city with clean environment. Opel Rekord taxis were the main pillar of transport beside buses and Ford wagons. We lived in F 6-4 and at the end of the main road next to our hose lived the architect of Islamabad and the President of Pakistan Muhammad Ayub Khan. In the evenings, he would be seen in his newly gifted Rolls Royce by the then UAE king and we would stand there to wave at him to be waved back by the smiling president.
On November 29, Pakistan Post issued a set of two stamps priced at 15 and 50 Paisa respectively on the formal inauguration of the new capital. The stamps displayed the Pakistani flag, the federal secretariat building and photos of president Ayub Khan both in uniform and in suit (stamps from my stamps album).
I still remember a visit to the Shakarparian Hills which provided an excellent bird's eye of the entire capital city stretched amid green trees. While Saidpur village has been turned into a must visit tourist landmark, it was then just an ordinary village. I along with my other brothers had bicycled to the village once. Visiting it recently was a site altogether different.
Renovated Saidpur Village
Melody was then the only cinema of the city near Aabpara market and Hotel Sherahzad the only five star hotel - later turned into the offices of Foreign Ministry. Siraj Covered market was a modern market of the city which provided under one roof shopping mostly to the foreigners of the diplomatic family. We would often visit the market - it is sad that the market is no more now, though many new markets and big shopping malls have since opened to cater for needs of its residents.
Ayub Khan being briefed about Islamabad Master Plan from a vantage point - File Photo
It was President Ayub Khan who decided to build a new capital for Pakistan away from the busy city of Karachi, which was kept as capital of newly born Pakistan in 1947. Soon after taking over as president of the country, Ayub Khan constituted a commission to select a suitable site which should be centrally located and amid a landscape that should add to its natural beauty as compared to hustle and bustle business like environment of port city of Karachi. Thus the present location on the Pothohar Plateau was slelected and a Greek firm of architects, Konstantinos Apostolos Doxiadis, designed the master plan of the city based on a grid plan which was triangular in shape with its apex towards the Margalla Hills.

In the period up to 2011, the industrial gas specialist Messer will supply around 160,000 kg of helium through its Swiss subsidiary, Lenzburg-based Messer Schweiz AG, for the operation of the world's largest particle accelerator built to study the building blocks of matter.
Bad Soden, Germany
The world's largest particle accelerator starts operations.
In the period up to 2011, the industrial gas specialist Messer will supply around 160,000 kg of helium through its Swiss subsidiary, Lenzburg-based Messer Schweiz AG, for the operation of the world's largest particle accelerator built to study the building blocks of matter. The proton and ion accelerator, or "Large Hadron Collider" (LHC), has been installed in a 27 km underground tunnel by the Geneva-based European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and is expected to go into operation in the summer. The cooling capacity of the liquefied inert gas helium will cool the more nearly 2500 superconducting magnets used to accelerate the particles. Inside LHC ring, which straddles the border of France and Switzerland 100 metres underground, particles will be accelerated to very high speeds and then made to collide in order to gain new insights in the field of particle physics.
Coldest place in the Universe
The superconducting magnets have been specially developed for the LHC. The operating temperature of the magnets is achieved with liquid helium; at minus 271.3 degrees Celsius, it is closer to absolute zero than the temperature in outer space – making the LHC the coldest place in the universe. The scientists at CERN will also use the helium from Messer to cool down the large spectrometer magnets for the particle physics experiments.
Reliable helium source
In 2007, Messer signed a long-term supply contract for liquid helium with the Russian company Cryor. This gives the owner-managed industrial gas specialist direct access to one of the most reliable helium sources in the world. Messer transports the helium from Orenburg to its European filling plants in its own vacuum-insulated tank containers with a capacity of 40,000 litres. The Messer Group's Austrian site in Gumpoldskirchen near Vienna is home to Europe's largest helium tank farm with a capacity of 113,000 litres. This means that Messer can take back and store liquid helium during maintenance work on the LHC.
If you are interested to have further detailed and official figures on LHC project you can find them on:

1.000.000.000 balloons could be filled with the recently constructed helium tank in Gumpoldskirchen, Austria.

Mike Tyson Biographical Movie to be released 2018 featuring Jamie Foxx
Michael Mares
A Biopic of Boxing Legend Mike Tyson has been in the works for some years now but it has been officially confirmed that it will be released in 2018. Jamie Foxx is to star as Mike Tyson in a movie that tells about the life of Tyson and how he made his rise to the top. Working on this movie since 2008, Mike wanted to release it at the right time with the right people bringing on Jamie Foxx to play the main role. In recent pictures Foxx looks like he has bulked up to play the role with more muscle mass.
Tyson was well known for his ferocious and intimidating boxing style as well as his controversial behavior inside and outside the ring. Nicknamed "Iron" and "Kid Dynamite" in his early career, and later known as "The Baddest Man on the Planet" Tyson is considered one of the best heavyweights of all time. He was ranked No. 16 on The Ring's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time,[10] and No. 1 in the ESPN.com list of "The Hardest Hitters in Heavyweight History". Sky Sports rated him as "the scariest boxer ever" and described him as "perhaps the most ferocious fighter to step into a professional ring". He has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fameand the World Boxing Hall of Fame wiki says.

It's been a long day and I figure it's time to go home. Most everyone has left already, and as one can see the parking lot is mostly empty. Too bad that I still have a long journey back home and won't be there for at least an hour or so. When I finally get back home I will be happy and relieved that it is weekend again.

Misha Ge - skating with a passion
Photos © Absolute Skating, Johanna Welnicki - JOLUSKATING
It was his footwork in the preliminary round of the World Championships that caught my attention. Despite his baby-face, he skated as a passionate fighter. In the short program he showed another face: portraying the dying swan. When he finished, I caught up with Misha Ge, the new hope of figure skating in Uzbekistan, in the mixed zone.
What is it like to skate in Nice at the World Championships?
First of all, I love the audience. I want to thank them for their support. I really love Nice; I was here also for the Coupe de Nice and everything is very comfortable, the hotel is close to the arena, I like to compete here. This is my second World Championships. After the qualification we had a problem with my back, I almost couldn't practice at all. I had an injury a couple of months ago, but after the qualification it got really bad. We've been talking to doctors; I received therapy and massage, lots of treatments. I even got an injection with painkiller, but it still didn't help. Today I had a very difficult practice, but I tried to concentrate on the competition. I'm very happy about what I did in the short program, because it was very difficult for me. I was in a lot of pain, but I got through it, and I got my personal best in the short program.
Are you the kind of competitor who goes through pain, no matter what?
Yeah. It was a lot of pain, but we overcame it. We did our best and I'm happy about that.
You have two different programs, a lyrical short program to The Swan of Camille Saint-Saens and a passionate long program to the soundtrack of War and Love. How did you choose the music?
The music is always chosen by my team. We have a big team, my mother and my father are my coaches, and the big coach is Mr. Frank Carroll. My choreographer is Larisa Ge, but there are other people too, for example for ballet (Lukash Abrahamyan), and also people from the Federation of Uzbekistan are part of my team. It was a long process to choose the music, and we tried to have the two programs very different from each other. The short program is a classic ballet about a dying swan. The long is in a style of war and love, passion, drama; it's near Gladiator-style. We chose them together, but my mum was the one who put the programs together, because she is a coach and a choreographer.
Which program do you like more?
I like them both, because they are very different. One is a beautiful drama of a swan, and the other one is a strong, passionate fight in the war. Both are great.
I very much enjoyed your footwork sequence in the free program.
Even if I have to skate through pain, I try to do it with passion for the audience and for the judges to show what I feel during my program.
Frank Carroll seems very strict. What kind of a coach is he?
He is great and I'm grateful that I can work with him, because he has so much experience. He has taught many world and Olympic champions.
Are there any skaters you look up to?
At this competition my favourite would be Daisuke Takahashi. I think he is a great performer. I always look forward to his performances; he has everything and I support him very much.
Do you have any favourite elements?
I love everything. All about skating.
Let's finish these World Championships, and then I will think about the future. There are a lot of ideas for next year, but we are still in the phase of deciding.
How did you become a figure skater, by the way?
My mother and father used to be figure skaters, now they are coaches. When I was little, my mum and dad brought me to the ice rink, that's how I started.
In your ISU biography it says that you lived in China for a while.
I'm partly Russian, Chinese and Korean; I have mixed blood. My father is partly Chinese, so we used to live in China. Before that we lived in Russia, and now we are in the U. S. We are all over the place.
Which place do you like the best?
There are a lot of differences between Asia, Europe and America, but I can adapt very fast. I'm fluent in Chinese, Russian and English, I love all the places. But I like Asia very much, so I would say my favourite countries are Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan.
Despite his injury, Misha Ge skated well in the free program too, and finished 19th in his second World Championships. Figure skating fans already look forward to his passionate performances next season – I know I do!

Revised Aircraft Certification Policy Released by FAA
March 26, 2015 - The FAA recently issued revision "H" of Order 8130.2, which governs the certification of aircraft through the direction it provides to inspectors and designees in the field. Among other guidance, it provides the procedures for the certification of experimental aircraft and the operating limitations they will carry. Order 8130.2H will replace 8130.2G at the end of April. The FAA also published a job aid to assist inspectors in generating appropriate operating limitations for each aircraft.
EAA has been extensively involved in the repeated revision process to this order in recent years and successfully amended or reversed several provisions in the early drafts of this iteration that could have severely hampered experimental aviation. The new document contains some changes but largely preserves the status quo for homebuilts and other experimental categories.
In March 2014 EAA submitted extensive comments to the then-draft version of revision H, incorporating input from the Homebuilt Aircraft Council, Warbirds of America, and other concerned members. EAA then followed up with face-to-face meetings with FAA in Washington and at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 to ensure that the document was ready for use in the field.
"The community came together to analyze this document and make sure all our concerns were addressed in evaluating this revision," said Sean Elliott, EAA vice president of advocacy and safety. "We were then able to leverage our productive relationship with the FAA to see that the needs of our membership continue to be served by this policy."
EAA continues to work on clarifying the document's language and guidance so that it is applied evenly and correctly, and will be involved in future revisions going forward.

Costly To The Core
How the nuclear plant no one knows about is wasting your money.
December 10, 2013 at 4:01 pm PST
At lunch, you can often find Robert McCullough in the Heathman Hotel dining room. From the moment he sits down, waiters know to ferry him one latte after another as McCullough, one of the nation's top utility consultants, works his laptop and takes client calls.
His $400-an-hour fee buys a lot of coffee.
With his snowy beard, rosy cheeks and round middle, McCullough could moonlight as a Nordstrom Santa. But the gifts he bears can be tough to accept. He's a blunt, if loquacious, truth-teller.
McCullough was one of the first to figure out Enron Corp. was behind the power shortages and blackouts that darkened California in 2000 and 2001. In congressional testimony in 2002, McCullough revealed exactly how the Texas energy giant crippled the economies of Western states by manipulating electricity markets. His work led to billion-dollar settlements and criminal convictions.
"He's incredibly smart—and a little bit arrogant," says Jim Lazar, an Olympia, Wash., utility economist who's known McCullough for 30 years. "There's no question he's one of the most knowledgeable people about the Northwest power system."
Over the past 35 years, McCullough has often worked on complex disputes out of public view.
But on Dec. 11, he's releasing the results of an investigation (PDF) that affects anyone in the Pacific Northwest who pays a utility bill.
He's spent the past nine months examining the economics of the region's only nuclear power plant, the Columbia Generating Station, which sits on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in southeastern Washington.
Many people in the Pacific Northwest don't even know the plant exists.
After policymakers review McCullough's report, the plant's owners and operators may wish the Columbia Generating Station had remained in obscurity.
McCullough is hardly anti-nuke—as a Portland General Electric executive 25 years ago, he fought to keep PGE's now-closed Trojan Nuclear Power Plant open.
But his report on the Columbia Generating Station leads to an unmistakable conclusion: It should be shut down.
Not for safety reasons, but because it has become the most expensive nuclear plant of its kind in the United States to run, and is a waste of money that costs ratepayers as much as an extra $50 per year.
McCullough says we could replace the plant with cheaper power and save ratepayers $1.7 billion over the next two decades.
"The people who are paying for this plant," he says, "should want it closed."
All the rain that falls in the Pacific Northwest yields one glorious benefit: cheap hydropower. For nearly 80 years, the federally owned dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers have made our electricity rates the envy of the rest of the U.S.
Northwest power planners realized in the late 1950s, though, that population growth would require finding other forms of electricity generation. By the late 1960s, private and public utilities, as well as the federal government, backed plans to build 10 nuclear plants in Oregon and Washington.
Only two were ever completed. The first was Trojan, which PGE operated outside Rainier, Ore., for 17 years before shutting it in 1993. The second was the Columbia Generating Station, which is owned by a consortium of publicly owned utilities across Washington and Oregon.
The Columbia Generating Station was supposed to be among five plants owned by the Washington Public Power Supply System, whose acronym WPPSS was pronounced "whoops" long before its grand nuclear dreams turned into epic failure.
WPPSS launched construction on all five plants. Between 1975 and 1981, the costs ballooned from $5 billion to $24 billion. Work ceased on four plants by the mid-1980s. The result left parts of Washington state looking like a post-apocalyptic movie set: two completed but never-used 500-foot cooling towers, for instance, loom over dairy cattle in Grays Harbor County, about 30 miles west of Olympia.
The consortium had borrowed the money to build the plants, assuming they would pay for themselves. WPPSS defaulted on the bonds for two unfinished plants, leaving investors out $2.25 billion—then the largest municipal default in American history.
WPPSS also left the region with what today is nearly $6 billion in debts for the remaining two stillborn plants and the Columbia Generating Station. The Bonneville Power Administration, which brokers energy from the Columbia River system dams, had agreed to buy power from the WPPSS plants and, in turn, got stuck with the debt.
As McCullough notes, 30 years later the costs of the WPPSS fiasco "are still being paid for by Northwest ratepayers."
Meanwhile, the Columbia Generating Station has been operating since 1984, after being completed seven years late and $2 billion over budget.
When running full-tilt, the plant today is capable of producing 1,170 megawatts of power, enough to serve 1 million homes. That's 10 percent of the electricity in the entire Bonneville system.
The low-slung Columbia Generating Station lacks the iconic cooling towers of other nuclear plants. It was built largely below the surface of the sand and sagebrush on the Hanford reservation, a half-hour north of Richland, Wash., and 240 miles east of Portland.
It's as if the plant doesn't want to be seen—and in many ways, it's been overlooked for decades.
McCullough, a cocky Irish kid from Chicago, landed in Portland at the tail end of the 1960s to attend Reed College.
"There were many distractions," McCullough says, "and I got involved with them all."
His undergraduate thesis on "Eurodollar Credit Creation," launched him into a master's in economics at Portland State University and a Ph.D. program at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., where he had too much fun and too little money to complete his thesis at the Ivy League school.
After Portland General Electric recruited him in 1979, McCullough rose through the executive ranks in finance and rate-setting, ending up as director of special projects and assistant to PGE's chairman.
McCullough chafed at the utility's culture. "At PGE, there was a suggestion that you have your sense of humor surgically removed," he says. In 1991, he left the utility and opened his consulting business, McCullough Research.
McCullough may not be a household name, but in energy circles, he's a big deal. He's been a consultant for Texas utilities and Canadian Indian tribes, and is often called as an expert witness. He assembled millions of Enron-related documents and testified for state and federal prosecutors. McCullough helped unravel Enron's schemes for the Snohomish (Wash.) Public Utility District, which won a $1.6 billion judgment against the company.
Snohomish's former assistant general counsel, Eric Christensen, often visited McCullough's office in Southeast Portland.
"It's what you'd imagine a CIA safe house to be," Christensen says. "On the outside, it's a nondescript tract home. On in the inside, there are these big banks of computers and analysts scattered all through the house."
Even those who've been adversaries of McCullough admire his work.
"When he was working for PGE, not all of the information the utility put out was great, but I've never found anything wrong with his work," says Portland public interest lawyer Dan Meek, who battled PGE and McCullough for years over closing Trojan. "He's a highly expert and very careful economist."
It's McCullough's reputation for independence that appealed to Physicians for Social Responsibility, a national group that campaigns against global warming, as well as nuclear weapons and energy.
The organization's Oregon and Washington chapters wanted to draw attention to potential problems with the Columbia Generating Station after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, where three nuclear reactors at Fukushima melted down and another exploded. Last month, the group released reports saying the Columbia Generating Station is seismically unsafe—something the plant's operators deny.
The physicians group turned to McCullough last spring to see if he would consider evaluating the plant's economics. He initially said no. "A lot of nuclear advocacy is emotional," he says. "That doesn't mean it's wrong, but it's not data-driven."
McCullough knew the plant had experienced problems controlling its costs. But a cursory glance at the plant's recent annual reports piqued his curiosity—especially the Columbia Generating Station's cost of producing power.
"I'm not anti-nuke," McCullough says. "[But] I was surprised to see the differential was so high."
To hear the owners and operators of the Columbia Generating Station tell it, the region's only nuclear plant is essential.
Mike Paoli, a spokesman for Energy Northwest, the consortium that operates the plant, says the Columbia Generating Station provides a reliable, predictably priced source of power that backs up the Columbia River dam system.
"You could go to the market today and easily beat Columbia [Generating Station's] cost of power using natural gas—true," Paoli says. "But regardless of short-term performance, we looked 30 years out, and in terms of long-term cost savings, there's no question that Columbia comes out ahead for the ratepayer."
Paoli says Energy Northwest has not been given the opportunity to review McCullough's report in detail, but it has been presented with its major findings.
Paoli questions the report's objectivity. Physicians for Social Responsibility, he says, started from the premise of wanting to close the nuclear plant, so any research the group paid for would further that goal.
"They had their conclusion, and they set about proving it," he says.
McCullough disagrees. He says he had complete freedom to report what he found, not what Physicians for Social Responsibility wanted him to say.
What's more, his report draws on voluminous Energy Northwest, nuclear industry and Bonneville documents to build its case.
He found there is regularly so much electricity available in the Bonneville Power Administration network that it can't sell it all.
In fact, McCullough found, in the past two years, the market has been so oversupplied that Bonneville regularly paid customers to take electricity off its hands.
There are a few reasons why energy prices have fallen so low. Two consecutive rainy years have put plenty of water behind the dams. Energy companies continue rapid development of wind farms, which have become more competitive in the cost of power.
And there's fracking—the process of extracting oil and gas using pressurized water and sand—which has caused natural gas supplies to soar. It has turned North Dakota into a small slice of Saudi Arabia, goosed U.S. oil and gas production and cratered the price of natural gas. That's why there's been a scramble to send Wyoming coal through proposed Oregon and Washington export terminals.
Power companies often use natural gas to fire electricity-generating plants, and the cheap cost of gas has helped undercut the Columbia Generating Station's high-cost output.
The Columbia Generating Station might still be a plus for the region if its cost of making electricity were also low. But McCullough found the plant's cost of producing a megawatt hour over the past six years is about $36, roughly 1.5 times what more efficient nuclear plants spend.
McCullough also found that it appears to be the most costly nuclear plant of its kind to run in the U.S. He and his team of six analysts crunched all of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission filings for 2006 through 2012 for 27 operating nuclear plants built and designed on the same basis as the Columbia Generating Station.
"From what we can see, it's the most expensive," McCullough says.
As a result, he found ratepayers last year spent $418 million for power from the Columbia Generating Station. They could have purchased the same power elsewhere for $218 million.
Energy Northwest spokesman Paoli acknowledges the nuclear plant has recently been more expensive than market power and other nuclear plants, but he says that is changing.
"We continue to trend down toward lower cost," Paoli says.
One reason is location. Some of the most economical nuclear power operations exist where reactors are clustered together; where they are parts of companies such as Exelon, the Illinois utility that operates 17 reactors at 10 different plants; or where they are close to major population centers.
Another is overhead costs. For example, McCullough found the plant employs 1,100 people—about one-and-a-half times as many people per unit of energy produced as other nuclear plants.
"At $80,000 a head, the high employment level is a continuing challenge to the plant's economics," McCullough says.
Paoli says comparisons to other nuclear plants' costs are a "red herring."
"As the only nuclear facility in the Northwest," Paoli says, "our industry status doesn't change our economic position as the best non-hydro—and clean—value for the Northwest."
And the plant is aging. The Columbia Generating Station is 29 years old, and McCullough says it's no longer viable.
"It's like a computer-chip fabricator that makes large wafer chips," McCullough says. "That plant gets replaced because the technology is obsolete and the market has moved on."
Aging nuclear plants require lots of repairs, expensive parts and frequent shutdowns. McCullough found that Columbia Generating Station's history has been plagued by above-average downtime and a failure to meet its targets for generating electricity.
Even Bonneville, in a 2009 report, recognized this problem. "Although the plant's safety record is solid," the report read, "[Columbia Generating Station] now ranks very close to the bottom of all nuclear plants."
Paoli says the plant has made operational improvements, including securing a long-term, low-cost fuel supply.
"We're on our way to being one of the top-performing nuclear facilities in the nation by end of 2014," he says. "Not there yet—but the trends have us climbing fast."
McCullough notes the plant's budget for the next decade calls for nearly $500 million in spending for new equipment, which will make it even less economical.
But the biggest reason the nuclear plant has been such a money sinkhole is the way it has been managed.
Nearly all of the nation's 100 nuclear power plants belong to investor-owned utilities. The discipline of having to answer to investors and a customer base that can identify more easily where its power is coming from provides a level of accountability missing at the Columbia Generating Station.
The plant, as McCullough's report found, is owned by 92 public utilities and managed by 27 of them. But the owners have little incentive to change. They don't have to pay the costs of running the plant, nor are they responsible for unloading its expensive power on the market.
That falls to Bonneville, a massive, sophisticated energy agency with more than 3,000 employees, $3 billion-plus in annual revenues and a service area that covers 300,000 square miles and nearly 13 million people.
When it comes to oversight of the nuclear plant, McCullough found, Bonneville has been an absentee landlord that has failed to address chronic problems.
"It's a bizarre set of political circumstances," he says. "You've got ownership without accountability."
And the relationship between Bonneville and Energy Northwest has been difficult.
"The history of this arrangement is rife with miscommunication and conflict between the two parties," McCullough wrote in his report.
McCullough's report found that in one instance Bonneville officials refused for years to allow the Columbia Generating Station to replace its condensers, a crucial piece of the operation, contributing to the plant's inefficiency.
The report also found Bonneville has failed to enforce agreements that could have reined in costs or even brought an end to the plant's operations years ago.
In 1998, the congressional delegations from Washington and Oregon, along with the governors of both states, conducted a "market test" to assess the nuclear plant's viability. The plan was to do such a test every two years, but for reasons that are unclear, Bonneville has not done so.
"There was a suggestion that continue," Bonneville spokesman Doug Johnson says of the plant's proposed cost reviews. "We did not adopt that recommendation."
At the time, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) pushed for cost controls on the nuclear plant. Wyden is chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Spokesman Keith Chu says committee staff have not yet seen McCullough's report but are looking into the issues it raises.
"Ultimately the decision about whether to run this power plant has to be based on what's best for ratepayers," Chu said in an email. "Keeping BPA rates affordable is always a priority, and that involves keeping a close eye on all BPA costs, including the Columbia Generating Station."
In states with greater accountability over nuclear plants, some aging plants are being shut down. In the past few years, at least four nuclear plants—two in California and one each in Wisconsin and Florida—have been closed for economic reasons. Vermont's only nuclear plant will close next year.
McCullough doesn't want to shut down the Columbia Generating Station without an alternative. And he has one.
He says with the glut of electricity sources, Bonneville could replace the nuclear plant's power by 2015 with long-term contracts from companies that generate electricity from wind, natural gas or other sources.
"Let's simply ask the market if there's a better deal out there," he says. "If there's not, then keep the plant operating."
There's urgency to tackle the issue: rapidly escalating shutdown costs. McCullough found the cost of complying with federal shutdown procedures is growing at 8 to 9 percent a year, far faster than inflation.
The longer Energy Northwest and Bonneville wait to shut down the plant, he says, the more it will cost ratepayers.
"Those costs have to be paid in any case," he says. "Better to do it now, when the price will be lower."
But there's enormous political support for the status quo. That's because the Columbia Generating Station employs 1,100 high-wage workers.
The plant's officials say closing now would actually increase costs to ratepayers. "We're the best regional value only so long as we're operating through our full life cycle," Paoli says. "Early closure equals higher rates."
Bonneville officials say they have not yet seen McCullough's report but seem to have already decided what to do about the plant.
"The plant's license was recently extended through 2043," says Johnson, the Bonneville spokesman. "At this time, there are no current plans to consider shutting down [the Columbia Generating Station] early."
Lazar, the Olympia utility economist, wrote his master's thesis on WPPSS 30 years ago and has continued to study the Washington power system.
He has reviewed McCullough's 208-page report. He says Washington's and Oregon's governors and congressional delegations should convene an expert panel to decide the plant's fate.
"The report's about 150 pages longer than it needs to be," Lazar says. "But it's highly credible and, if anything, conservative in its conclusions. The operating costs of the plant far exceed the market value of the power it produces. A private owner would not keep it open."

Q: Hover tooltip stops working after scrolling I am trying to add a discreet credit link to the bottom right corner of a tumblr theme I am creating, that shows a tooltip that follows the cursor when hovered over. The problem is, the tooltip doesn't show up unless the user is at the very top of the page, and completely stops working if the user scrolls down at all.  I'm not a very experienced programmer and am entirely self taught, so I apologize if the solution is very simple. Here is a link to the blog I am working on: http://mayfrogs.tumblr.com/
and here is a jsfiddle with the basic code for the credit button: https://jsfiddle.net/kbsnzfyd/2/
I  believe it to be a problem with the position attributes, but I need the credit to be in the bottom right, and the only way I can find to get it to stay there is by giving it a fixed position.
here is the css:
.c:hover .c-tooltip {
    display:block;
}

.c-tooltip {
    display:none;
    background: #b3d9ff;
    border:1px solid #e0f3f8;
    font-variant:small-caps;
    letter-spacing:2px;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-size:10px;
    text-align:center;
    border-radius:5px;
    margin-left: -85px;
    margin-top:-50px;
    position:fixed;
    padding: 10px;
    z-index: 1000;
    width:60px;
    height:30px;
}

.c {
    position: fixed;
    z-index:800;
    bottom:15px;
    right:15px;
}

.c a {
    text-decoration: none;
    -moz-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -o-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    transition-duration: 0.5s;
}

.c a:hover {
    color:#99ccff;
    -moz-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -o-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    transition-duration: 0.5s;
}

the javascript:
var tooltip = document.querySelectorAll('.c-tooltip');

document.addEventListener('mousemove', fn, false);

function fn(e) {
    for (var i=tooltip.length; i--;) {
        tooltip[i].style.left = e.pageX + 'px';
        tooltip[i].style.top = e.pageY + 'px';
    }
}

and the html:

    (Anchor Icon)
    Theme by Mayfrogs

I have substituted the anchor icon here with (Anchor Icon), but I am using "font awesome" icons in the actual code.

A: Try using client instead of page, like this:
tooltip[i].style.left = e.clientX + 'px';
tooltip[i].style.top = e.clientY + 'px';

This will get the mouse pointer coordinates instead of the pages as these will be moved downwards as you scroll.

A: This is a solution:
https://jsfiddle.net/qdsq0s9h/
The main problem is, your tooltip is insite an element with display:fixed style. When you change the tooltip's position, it counts the top and left values relative from the anchor icon (.c element).
var tooltip = $('.c-tooltip');
var offset = 30;
document.addEventListener('mousemove', fn, false);

function fn(e) {
    $(document).mousemove(function(e){
        $(tooltip).css({left:e.pageX-tooltip.width()-offset, top:e.pageY-tooltip.height()-offset});
    });
}

$( ".c" ).on( "mouseover", function() {
    $( ".c-tooltip" ).show();
});

$( ".c" ).on( "mouseout", function() {
    $( ".c-tooltip" ).hide();
});
