Building Information Modelling is currently being utilised for the redevelopment of a London train station.
BIM is being thrust into action by Waldeck, who are in charge of completing the design of the platform structure in precast concrete form at London Bridge Station for contractors FP McCann.
In a guest article on Construction News, Waldeck BIM Technician Amy Cheeseman discusses her work on the project and the processes the team are delivering on-site. Cheeseman explained that by having 3D models of the concrete platform foundations meant that the team could design a standardised set of unit types, saving FP McCann from having to create various other moulds at a later date. She writes: "Being able to have 3D models of the in-situ concrete foundations and platform finishes allowed us to design a series of standard unit types, which can be adapted across the entire station and minimise the number of different moulds required by FP McCann."
Cheeseman is adamant that without the use of BIM across the entire project team, there is no way at all that the project would be have been as successful as it has been thus far.
"Being a BIM project aided our design, allowing us to physically see where all the services were in 3D", stated Cheeseman. "Overall, London Bridge has achieved BIM Level 2, enabling the assessment of the constructability, maintenance and co-ordination of drainage and electrical services to the station while resolving issues before they got to site, which in turn enabled a higher level of accuracy and faster site erection."

In recent weeks, numerous residents from across the South Fork have called the Hamptons Police Department to report the sudden appearance on their property of large mounds of rotting coleslaw.
"People are waking up, looking out their window and finding that a big pile of stinky, rancid coleslaw has materialized on their front lawn over night," Hamptons Police spokesman Larry Hirsch says. "Not only is it disgusting, but dumping the coleslaw in the open air violates the Safe Disposal of Deli Salads Act passed by the Hamptons Municipal Board in 1987."
A Hamptons Police investigation is ongoing, but Hirsch says that initial findings point to a shady deli salad supplier operating out of Napeague.
"We know what's going on here," says Hirsch.
Current police thinking suggests that the suspect supplier had stockpiled large quantities of coleslaw in the month of August while trying to corner the South Fork market on the popular salad—a staple of the East End diet in the summer.
"We think the plan was to sabotage the shipments of coleslaw coming from points west of the South Fork—we know that many coleslaw companies were experiencing an elevated number of incidents of vandalism to their tanker trucks in August, and we think it's probably related."
Hirsch suspects that when the plan to corner the market and then jack up the price of coleslaw to East End markets ultimately failed, the Napeague supplier was left with a huge quantity of unsold coleslaw and, with summer coming to a close, no one willing to buy it.
"Now they're just desperate to get rid of the stuff, and property owners are paying the price. But we're onto them—we expect an arrest very shortly." In the meantime, Hirsch warns against consuming any of the salad should it appear on your lawn. "Not only is it past its sell-by date, but it's pretty inferior stuff—I think it's got pineapple in it!"

It seems like yesterday when we were bemoaning the fact that Hollywood didn't make movies for grown-ups anymore. (Or maybe that was just me arguing back in 2012 that our cinemas were full of recycled superheroes and stupid action films aimed at teenaged boys.)
Well, right now you don't have to look far to find great movies about characters who are not only grown up, but quite frankly old. It says something about our culture that I spent a good ten minutes trying to find a polite word to use instead of 'old', 'elderly' or 'aged'. But why not tell the truth and stare age in the face, the way the movies themselves are doing it?
Nebraska, All Is Lost and Le Week-End are in release this week (20 Feb), while The Great Beauty and Philomena (starring an energetic 79-year-old Judi Dench) are still going strong in art-house release. There's hardly an unwrinkled face among them. (We could also talk about the horrid Last Vegas, starring Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline as superannuated boys on a tacky and embarrassing bachelor party spree, but let's just stick to the films you should see.)
Nebraska stars a 77-year-old Bruce Dern, who's up for an Oscar for his fearless performance as Woody, a shuffling, wispy-haired alcoholic on the verge of dementia. Woody is obsessed with travelling to Nebraska to collect a shonky $1 million prize. His long-suffering adult son (Will Forte) tags along as the old man doggedly pursues his tragi-comic dreams. Shot in lustrous black and white, and directed by Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants), Nebraska manages to maintain a perky outlook, while still being bleakly realistic about ageing and the experience of living with persistent regrets and disappointments.
All is Lost is the powerful and almost wordless story of a lone sailor struggling to survive in the open ocean. Directed by J.C. Chandor (Margin Call) and starring the rugged 77-year-old Robert Redford, it's a gripping depiction of stoic resourcefulness, but also a film that refuses to shy away from mortality. The snowballing problems that strip him of his initial mastery and self-reliance can be read as a metaphor for the endless challenges and potential indignities of the ageing process.
On a lighter note, Le Week-End (written by Hanif Kureishi and directed by Roger Michell) follows a sixty-something British couple (Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan) who go to Paris to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. In the process, they confront the realities and irritations of their marriage – with lots of comedy to leaven the mix. Beautifully written and performed, there are biting truths here that will resonate with anyone who's lived in a long term relationship. There's the added sting of seeing that growing older doesn't necessarily make love any easier. In fact, with finite years left, there's even more urgency to live well and find bliss.
We live in a culture that worships the beauty of youth and celebrates the accomplishments of the precocious. (She did all that! And she's not even 28!) Yet the reality is that if we're lucky, we're all going to grow old. And whether we face it or not, we're all going to die. It's the ultimate equaliser. Perhaps you like to go to the movies to escape such grim facts, and there's nothing wrong with pure escapism.
Still, there's something bracing and even reassuring about seeing old people take centre stage on screen. They go before us and show us how it can be done – and sometimes how it shouldn't be done. Such stories insist that there are still adventures to be had over the age of 60; still journeys to be taken, demons to be wrestled and love that must be continually reinvented if it is going to see us to the grave.
Sobering? Perhaps. Or maybe just real. Old characters on screen – in all their messy variety – are there as they should be, as part of the human race.

'Rapid' vehicle charging point in town car park hoped to be fully operational by March
PUBLISHED: 16:00 27 December 2018 | UPDATED: 16:01 27 December 2018
A new rapid charging point for electric cars in a key coastal car park will be fully operational by March, it is hoped.
Earlier this year, Great Yarmouth Borough Council revealed its intentions to install one of the devices in the Fuller's Hill car park, close to the town centre.
It has now been confirmed that the facility is due to be installed and fully functional by the end of March, with the council also having selected its preferred supplier for the point.
It is part of a nationwide drive from Highways England to place points around the country, which has seen it present opportunities for councils to apply for grants to install them.
The charging point, which will be available on a pay-as-you-use basis, is anticipated to cost around £450 a year to run, with officers expecting it to provide income for the council.
Miranda Lee, head of customer services at the borough council, said in a report to economic development committee members: "The speed of take-up and demand for this facility is yet to be determined, however, the electric/hybrid vehicle industry is growing and there are a number of initiatives in place to encourage more people to opt for this type of vehicle.
"With the government also funding an increase in charge points across the UK highways network, we can safely assume this industry and popularity with drivers will continue to rise."
Her report states the "rapid charge" point would be capable of charging an electric vehicle to 80pc power in less than half an hour.
She added it would "alleviate range anxiety by giving electric vehicle users confidence that public charging points exist at regular intervals across the whole of the strategic road network".
Once installed, it will be the first charging point in one of the borough council's car parks, with the only other points in the borough located in places such as garages, holiday parks and hotels.
Members of the environment development committee, which meets on Monday, January 7, are also asked to approve the proposed charges for the point - suggested at 30p per kWh.

WACO, TX -- Governor Greg Abbott is doing his part to reform the bail system in Texas. On Tuesday, he announced his proposed "Damon Allen Act," which would set bond amount that, in short, better match the threat an accused criminal possesses.
If passed, judges would be able to, for example, review the complete criminal history of the person in question.
The changes are in honor of State Trooper Damon Allen who was shot and killed on Thanksgiving in 2017 during a traffic stop near Fairfield, TX. During the stop, the suspect in that case, Dabrett Black, was already out on a $15,500 bail for allegedly assaulting a Smith County deputy.
More recently, the situation surrounding the suspected drunk driver that killed Senior Corporal Jamie Givens of the Dallas Police Department drew the ire of the Dallas Police Association.
The suspect, Adrian Breedlove, got out on bail after he paid 10% of his bond, which was set at $76,000.
"$7,600 dollars is very hard to swallow for officers for their life that a tragedy like this is worth that," said Mike Mata with the DPA.
It's not clear if Abbott's proposal would have changed Breedlove's bond amount, but when we talked to the DPA about the subject as a whole, they seemed open to change.
"I think that a lot needs to be looked at this and the fairness of it, and what the county and the court is actually trying to achieve," said Mata.
At the very least, Gov. Abbott is opening bail reform up for discussion. Whether the discussion moves on, however, still needs to play out.

The Ministry of Agricultural Jihad plans to cultivate corps in 500,000 hectares of foreign land over the next couple of years as part of its "Agriculture Beyond Borders" program, according to Deputy Minister of Agricultural Jihad Mohammad Ali Tahmasebi.
Dwindling water resources, drought, soil degradation and low productivity in the agriculture sector have prompted authorities in the ministry to look for solutions that ensure food security for the country and redress the negative trade balance of agricultural products.
"There are two ways to reduce reliance on agricultural imports and achieve self-sufficiency in food production: growing competitive crops with export potential and increasing production of imported crops such as oilseeds through farming in other countries," the official told Forsat-e Emrooz newspaper.
The Ministry of Agricultural Jihad intends to meet the domestic demand for agro products by cultivating them in countries with suitable conditions.
"Apart from food security, the practice could help reduce foreign currency spending, create employment, enhance international relations and encourage the export of technical and engineering services," said the official.
Gov't Should Promote Private Sector
Lack of suitable government policies in managing crop patterns and regulating the market is seen as the main reason behind the negative trade balance in the agricultural sector. Therefore, experts believe the government should step back and allow private sector investors to take part in the beyond-borders program.
"The government should hand over the task to private sector investors who could buy or rent farmland overseas and produce the crops demanded by the government. The government should also provide full support to investors for the import and sale of agro products," Ramezan Tahmasebi, an expert in agriculture and irrigation, suggested.
Justifying the feasibility of beyond-border agriculture, he said: "Availability of abundant water resources in some countries makes it possible to take thousands of hectares of land under cultivation. This is while the annual rental value for one hectare of agricultural land in these countries is only about $5-$10, which is affordable for Iranian investors."
He called for giving more attention to farming beyond borders, saying: "A country of 80 million people with a large number of educated youth should be able to produce its own food."
Despite the benefits, the program has also drawn criticism from those who argue that the full agricultural potential within the country has not yet been utilized.
Head of the Agriculture, Water and Natural Resources Commission of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, Ali Hadizadeh, had earlier objected to the program, pointing that while there still remain unused capacities in domestic agriculture, shifting investments to other countries is not a wise decision.
Instead, he suggested the use of modern irrigation systems and adopting crop patterns suitable for the country's climatic condition to increase water efficiency.
New EIB-FAO Partnership
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recently signed a five-year memorandum of understanding with the European Investment Bank for deepening investment in the field of agriculture and private sector development in countries outside of the European Union, FAO announced in a press release.
FAO's representative to Iran, Serge Nakouzi, believes Iran could benefit from opportunities provided by FAO-EIB agreement to strengthen investments in agrifood systems by engaging both the public and private sectors.
"Such investments will contribute towards the development of a strong, sustainable and resilient agricultural sector and reinvigorate the role of this sector in the national economy," the official added.
Given recent developments and the envisaged expansion of economic engagement of European countries with Iran, increased investment in agricultural rural development and food security is becoming a salient issue that needs to be addressed.
"The need for more and better agricultural investment in Iran is becoming increasingly crucial in the light of the trends witnessed over the past decades. With food demand on the rise due to a growing population, the country faces the challenges of higher demand for quality and safer food products while confronting resource constraints and environmental threats as well as the adverse impacts of climate change," the FAO envoy added.
Iran became a member of FAO on December 1, 1953. The Representation Office in the Islamic Republic of Iran was reopened in May 1992 after the Islamic Revolution's victory in 1979. It is currently hosted by the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad.

Higher than average temperatures in the third quarter of 2019 and a corresponding increase in air conditioning usage have pushed Caribbean Utilities Company's sales by 8%, to 184.4 million kilowatt hours, compared to the same period last year.
The average monthly temperature for the quarter of 86.5 degrees Fahrenheit was 1.1 degrees higher than in the third quarter of 2018, CUC noted in its latest earnings report.
President and CEO Richard Hew said the period continued a trend of positive quarterly financial results for the company, which was continuously reinvesting in modern equipment in response to the record level of electricity demanded by CUC customers.
CUC experienced a new system peak demand of 113.5 megawatts on 28 Aug. In 2017, peak demand was 105.6 MW after 103.6 MW in 2018.
The company's installed generating capacity is 161 MW. Renewable capacity connected to the grid increased to 10.3 MW in September 2019 from 9.7 MW in September 2018.
The company has invested $43.7 million in physical infrastructure so far this year to meet present and future demand. CUC anticipates investments of more than $270 million towards system extension and upgrades during the next five years, in line with its recently approved 2019-2023 Capital Investment Plan.
Hew said major projects such as the new Seven Mile Beach and Prospect substations and the control room and control system were progressing as planned.
In addition, CUC is planning to commence the recently approved battery storage project which will connect more renewable energy to the grid.
"The company expects that the initial savings to the customers from the battery storage project will be approximately $1 million per annum," the chief executive said.
CUC's $9.7 million operating income in the third quarter was $0.3 million higher than the same period in 2018. The company also saw a 2% increase in the number of customers to 30,254 compared to the third quarter 12 months ago. The growth in electricity sales revenues was partially offset by higher depreciation and maintenance expenses.
Quarterly net earnings of $10.4 million were up $1.2 million year on year with lower finance charges and higher other income contributing to the growth. However, interest on long-term debt increased and foreign exchange gains declined.
A one-off write-back of previously recognised bad debt expenses of $1.1 million by subsidiary company DataLink positively impacted the company's other income. CUC had reserved the bad debt after regulator OfReg determined in 2017 that the way DataLink charged reservation fees to telecommunication companies for attaching communication cables to CUC's electricity poles was contrary to the Information and Communication Technology Authority Law.
OfReg ordered DataLink to negotiate a refund of the fees charged, but the company was granted a stay of the decision and filed for a judicial review. On 25 July 2019, the Grand Court decided in CUC's favour and quashed the determination by the regulator.

- Description
- Abstract: Procurement has been identified as the link between a desire by the client for a construction project and the delivery of value products to agreed standards. Thus, it is an arrangement which define contractual processes, funding patterns, risk allocation, work structure and relationship amongst parties on a project. There is sufficient evidence in literature that procurement of public works in developing nations has failed to deliver necessary infrastructure required for economic development of these nations. Particularly in Nigeria, much resources have been committed to the delivery of infrastructure projects but limited benefits have been obtained. This research entails an exploratory qualitative study into the challenges of construction procurement in Nigeria. The study uses an interview of construction industry professionals who were purposively sampled to identify factors mitigating effective construction procurement. Findings from the study show that improper implementation of legislative framework, funding, corruption, hostile operating environment, inadequate knowledge of practitioners of procurement methods and unstable economic environment are factors affecting public procurement in Nigeria. The study concludes that for construction procurement to meet the need of delivering necessary infrastructure for economic development in a nation like Nigeria, intrinsic issues within the national environment have to be handled by relevant stakeholders. Keywords: Construction, Procurement, Developing Nations, Infrastructure, Challenges.

I can't believe that it's taken so long to write about the wonderful work that I get to do working with the Diocese of San Jose, The Valley Catholic, Bishop McGrath, and Bishop Cantú. It is so rewarding and being Catholic, it's a very big honor!
I started photographing events for the Diocese of San Jose in February of 2015 with the Wedding Mass. This is a celebration of all couples in the Diocese who are celebrating 5, 10, 20, 25, 30, etc. years of marriage. It's so truly inspiring to photograph and meet these couples and get their secrets.
The advice I've received from these experts is:
- A deep faith in God
- Communication
- Forgiveness
- The same goals in life
- Humor
- Date Nights
One of my favorites and rarely happens type of ceremony is Vespers. A ceremony where Bishop Cantu became the Coadjutor Bishop of San Jose (meaning he will take over for Bishop Patrick J. McGrath when he retires). Becoming Bishop doesn't happen that often in a Diocese. Bishop McGrath became the Bishop of the Diocese of San Jose in 1999.
I've photographed in most of the Diocese Parishes like the Transitional
More Images
Here is the gallery of images over the last four years for you to see all the wonderful place and events I've had the pleasure to photograph for the DSJ and TVC. Diocese images for you to check out!
And if you are bored, you can check out the images of mine that have been featured on The Valley Catholic Newspaper.

Grayson County College Golf Course is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Denison, Texas.
Grayson College golf course first opened for play in 1961. The front nine was designed by Joe Finger. The completion of the 18 hole par-72 course was done by Leon Howard.
The course was originally the golf course serving Perrin Air Force Base. The base closed in 1971. The base that then consisted of over 1875 acres including the 18 hole golf course was given to the Grayson County Community College and to the County of Grayson.
Grayson College Golf Course plays to a maximum distance of 6,633 yards for a course rating of 71 and a slope rating of 118.
The back nine is shorter nine and requires more accurate shot placement. The greens are small. Wind is usually a factor here, so selecting the proper club to compensate is an important part of the game.
The course closed in October 2015.
Member (cart included), played on Saturday, April 2009 at noon
Course gets better as the weather warms up. Prevailing south wind makes most of the holes N to S very difficult.
Member (cart included), played on Sunday, March 2009 at 2pm
Public course that gets a lot of play. As the weather warms, the course gets better. Not much money for improvements available. Great staff, hold many tournaments, great bargin for average golfer. I am a member and play it quite often.

Welcome! The studio is still a work in progress. So am I as an author. Every day I learn a little more about who I am, what I like to write, what I know about this business and why I've chosen it as my profession.
I always thought I wanted to write contemporary romance. Over the past couple of years I have found myself traveling down other sub-genre's of romance. The story lines have come to me at the oddest of times, introducing me to erotic suspense, astral travel and historical. All of these are works-in-progress, or WIPs. My goal for 2010 is to finish each one and get them on the road to you, my readers.
With each one, I'll show you around the places they are set and introduce you to the characters.
So while I finish the decorating around here, enjoy your holidays and we'll start the new year off with the erotic suspense.
Happy Reading!

HAL helicopter production to be ramped upThursday, April 06, 2017
India, April 5 -- The Indian Armed Forces have stated requirements for well over 700 helicopters of various categories including light utility, armed and medium multi-role types. According to sources in New Delhi, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) have asked the public sector undertaking Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to ramp up production, speed up existing under-development projects and start out-sourcing work. HAL's Helicopter Complex at Bangalore currently produces 22-24 Dhruv ALHs per annum but production of light utility helicopters (LUH) is assuming priority considering that the Army and Air Force urgently need to supplant their inventory of ageing HAL-built Cheetahs and Chetaks. HAL would have to produce up to 85-90 helicopters a year in three types-the ALH, LUH and LCH - with out-sourcing of some work being suggested on the lines of global manufacturing practices. India's three armed services need some 485 light utility helicopters, the Army requiring 259, IAF 125 and Navy around 100 such helicopters, the latter also for embarking on warships. In addition, the Army and the Air Force have requirements for some 180 light attack helicopters. In addition, the Coast Guard and other paramilitary forces have requirements for 100 helicopters. Meanwhile, HAL has planned to establish a new helicopter production facility at Tumkur, 100 km from Bengaluru, which will start production in 2018.

Gathering at Yas Island to showcase UAE National Day pride
ABU DHABI // For Mohammed Al Dhaheri, the Spirit of the Union Parade of decorated cars was a chance to reflect on his country's roots, literally. He adorned his car with a tree draped with crystals and images of Emirati leaders, with Sheikh Zayed, the founding president, at the base.
"They are all in one tree," explained the 24-year-old from Abu Dhabi, who spent two weeks on the design. "Seven emirates in one tree. One nationality."
Hundreds of drivers participated in the gathering on Yas Island yesterday, covering their cars with rhinestones, ribbons, flowers, feathers and flags to show their pride in today's 40th anniversary.
"Because we love our country," said Hussain Al Marzouqi, from Abu Dhabi. "You don't know how much we are loving our country."
Mariam Gama, 31, from Abu Dhabi, brought her children to show them where they come from.
"We try to let them feel, what is the UAE?" she said. "What does this mean for our life?"
Most of the drivers were Emirati. But for Ahmed Issa, a Pakistani shopkeeper, it was a chance to show his adopted home his gratitude.
He spent six days and Dh5,700 to make his car a patriotic vision, spray-painting a carpet to cover the bonnet and using wire to attach coloured lights and baubles.
"It's not our country, but we are happy here for everything," said Mr Issa, a UAE resident for nearly 25 years. "Safety, security, everything."
As the sun set, Mr Issa turned on his lights and his creation began to glow.

29 Jan The HocoBots!!
Last week National Water had the privileged of hosting the HocoBots, a group of talented 5th-8th graders from Howard County, Maryland. The HocoBots are a seven-member FLL team based out of Howard County and study in FQMS, MVMS, and MWES. Some of its members have been part of FLL for almost four years. The HocoBot members have won several Championship awards at the qualifiers over the years. HocoBots is proud to say that some of its team members have represented Howard County at State level competition 3 times so far and will be representing Howard County again this year on Feb 24th at UMBC.
The HocoBots are a member of the FLL (First Lego League) which is a part of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) engaging young kids in an exciting Mentor-based program that build science, engineering, and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, leadership and contributors to the society.
Guided by two or more adult Coaches, FIRST LEGO League* teams (up to 10 members, grades 4-8**) research a real-world problem such as food safety, recycling, energy, etc., and are challenged to develop a solution. They also must design, build, program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS®, then compete on a table-top playing field. Along their journey, they develop critical thinking and team-building skills, basic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) applications, and even presentation skills, as they must present their solutions with a dash of creativity to judges. They also practice the Program's Core Values, which emphasize discovery, teamwork and good sportsmanship.
This years challenge relates to hydrodynamics or how humans find, use, transport and dispose of water. The HocoBots created a product that can sense the purity of your water and instantly notifies you if your water has become impure via a text message. These young student are a true inspiration and we had a wonderful afternoon discussing their invention and showing them some of the water treatment and filtration systems we use. We look forward to working with the Hocobots in the future and wish them all the best at their upcoming competition.

Year of the Synchromystic Dragon
(Part One)
|Star (Brandon) within a star (Bruce)?
At this stage I noticed there was a lot of scared geometry/symbology in this film.
For instance in the above photo the brickwork seems to be hinting at a Star of David interwoven triangles type symbol of two forces merging, in this case female (Linda) and male (Bruce) forces intertwining to merge as one (Brandon?).
|Yin/Yang symbol?
Here I see a Yin/Yang symbol implied, with Linda and Bruce opposite, but complementary forces blending into one great untied force.
In this scene she announces that she is pregnant with Brandon.
|Point within a circle within a square?
In the commentary in the special features of the DVD, Rob mentions that the University of Washington wouldn't let them film there, so they had to film in San Fransisco instead.
In the movie and real life, one of their first dates was an outing to see Breakfast at Tiffany's, where Mickey Rooney did a cringing performance of an Asian landlord.
Opening Bruce's eyes to the stereotypical image of Asians in Hollywood.
Oddly, Mickey would play a character (Harold Lang) in the
A Shaolin Treasure episode of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues along side David Carradine in 1996.
A TV show dreamed up by Bruce Lee himself in a roundabout way.
Audrey Hepburn would die in 1993 on Jan 20th, a few months before Brandon.
Her last movie was Stephen Spielberg's Always, a ghost story,
"Pete always takes chances, confident that his skill will bring him through.
One day it doesn't and he is killed.
He finds himself returning as an invisible ghost who's presence is barely felt giving advice to his successor."
He finds himself returning as an invisible ghost who's presence is barely felt giving advice to his successor."
And the demon resumes his interest in the movie at this stage where Bruce is payed a dreamlike appearance in his studio while writing this on his typewriter.
|Phi (the golden Mean?) or an i in a triangle?
The demon enters the studio in the scene below(below) which have some weird props either side of them.
|Tiger Vs Dragon
|1964 the Year of the Dragon also. The year I was born.
It is threat to stop teaching the secrets of Kung-Fu to non-Chinese people.
Then Bruce has to fight an opponent of their choosing in a star chamber.
But in reality he did it to himself lifting weights and crushing a disc in his back.
(above) the impending birth of their son Brandon is announced.

text: The CLAS experiment at the CEBAF accelerator of the Jefferson Laboratory, in the United States, with the collaboration of INFN researchers, has published on Nature a study on the behaviour of quarks that could unveil a mystery that has lasted 35 years. In 1984 the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) of CERN in Geneva discovered that the quarks that make up the protons and neutrons of the atomic nuclei behave differently than the quarks that make up free protons and neutrons. The unexpected phenomenon - which scientists called the EMC Effect from the acronym of their experiment - remained however all these years without a universally accepted explanation. Now, the new research by CLAS could shed light on this unsolved question: the result obtained shows that the internal structure of protons and neutrons changes when these particles aggregate forming related pairs: in these pairs a strong overlap of protons and neutrons is created, that gives the quarks inside them more space to move and leads them to move more slowly. The analysis represents a step forward for the study of low-energy QCD in nuclear systems.

Slot machines are one of those games people have prejudices about. Various myths about slots are associated with them, and sometimes they can affect potential bettors give up playing. We will try to reveal the truth behind Vulkan Vegas slot machines and many more products you can play online. You will see that a trustworthy casino in combination with safe slot machine guarantees nothing but fun.
Top Myths About Online Slots
Have in mind that some small steps you can take to increase winning chances are far away from fraud strategies and trying to defeat random number generator. You should choose products with higher return to player (not under 95%), better features, and, of course, higher potential jackpots.
Will Slot Ever Hit Again?
The chances are the same for everyone. Just like, it does not mean that a slot that has not hit the jackpot in a long time will trigger it soon. That is just how random events function.
Yes, online casinos control slot machines in a way but not how most people think. They are just adjusting the product odds based on their financial politics and business. They must not affect any general rules or regulations given. Otherwise, they would lose the license for operating.
The AutoPlay Feature
Jackpots Are for High-Rollers
- collect comp points;
- take part in tournaments;
- qualify to win some prizes (e.g. travels, extra play money).
But that's all, no casino will provide you winning just because you are a high-roller or leave you behind if you have a smaller budget.
What About Land-Based Slots?
- You have fewer chances if you use a loyalty card.
- You have to pull the handle instead of spin the wheel in order to trigger a win and many others.
And again these beliefs are false if you play in trustful and licenced gambling house.
The Biggest Myth About Slots
There are all transparent information, and gambling houses do not try to cover anything. Just have in mind that respectable casinos hold the license of eminent institutions. That means they passed many levels of control from regulatory bodies. That they respect fairness and that security is important to them. This type of negative conspiracy theory makes players lose their trust in casinos in general.
Final Thoughts
You have to admit that the moment you decide gambling is the moment you are ready to lose some money. No casino and no software provider can guarantee winnings and huge amounts. After all, online gaming should be focusing on fun. Practising, just enjoying beautiful features and imaginative bonuses

But the monks there don't want the gangsters as their guests. They decide that if the gangsters can win three out of five contests, the gangsters can stay, but if they lose, they must leave immediately. The gangsters win enough contests, the last of them being suggested by the eldest monk: a challenge to fill up a broken water pot without plugging up the hole. The gangsters come up with the idea of putting the pot into the river. They are allowed to stay for a week. But the younger monks still can't tolerate the gangsters, and attempt to persuade them to leave.
Meanwhile, the boss among the gangsters realizes who betrayed them but goes ahead and contacts him anyway, disclosing his location. The former colleagues, now defected to the Chunno gang, show up near the monastery, dig a shallow mass grave and throw the gangsters they betrayed into it. But the monks come to the rescue of their unwanted guests.
Back at the monastery, both the monks and the gangsters are saddened to learn of the death of the eldest monk. After the funeral, the gangsters leave. Months later, they make varied donations to the monastery in gratitude for their hospitality.

Sample letter to seeking a correction in billing error
I would like to bring to your notice the error in my current month's maintenance bill. The amount to be paid is 4000 each month; however I was alarmed on seeing that this month's bill is of double the amount. On further investigation I realised that last month's bill amount has also been included to be paid this month.
According to my records, I have cleared my bill every month and never defaulted. There has surely been a mistake. Therefore, I request you to kindly recheck and update your records and issue me a fresh bill. As proof I am attaching herewith last month's bill payment receipt.
I hope to receive the correct bill soon and settle our obligations for this month as soon as possible.

Sample letter seeking a correction in billing error
This is to inform that we have recently owned the flat 34-A, henry Park society, Epson Road, New Delhi in the month of January. Entire electricity bill for the previous months were already paid off. As there were amendments and changes that need to be done in our name last month we have been working on the same. Being the new owner of the flat we had to legally transfer the rights to get the bill in new house owner's name. I have attached all the required proofs and documents that were needed to process the new upcoming electricity bill in our credentials. After all the activities and procedures we also the confirmation from electricity office stating that the changes are done and all the further billing will be done on the given credentials.
In February we received the bill on time and all the details were correctly mentioned as stated in the supported documents. But at the same time the bill was including the amount due for the month of December last year also, though the same was being paid off by the former owner of the flat. As per the discussion held with one of your officers I am again attaching the proof of residence along with other documents so that you can rectify the errors as soon as possible.
Please let me know if you need any further information in order to get the rectification done in this month electricity bill.

What is a VET?
VET stands for Vocational education and training also known as vocational training. VET focuses on teaching practical work skills so you are ready to work in the real world, VET is different to University. Universities tend to follow a theory based curriculum which may leave graduates unprepared for the real world. TAFE is a well understood example of a VET training provider. Bridge Business College is like TAFE only we are privately owned. TAFE is government owned.
VET is an integral part of the Australian Governments post-secondary education framework. VET is designed to teach practical workplace skills which allow graduates to transition into the workplace quickly and effortlessly. VET programs are suitable for all Australians including school leavers who seek an alternative to theory based University programs as well as mature aged workers seeking to re-join the workplace or to acquire new skills for a new career path.
Our priority at Bridge is to deliver high-quality professional training programs by trainers who are passionate about VET and providing a caring supportive learning environment.
Start your career with a recognised VET qualification
Why study a Vocational course?
- When you compare prices with University, VET is very affordable. VET is also quick, a program at BBC can be completed within 12 months (or less in some cases). This is ideal for those who want to start working and earning a wage sooner.
- Vocational qualifications allow for progression. You may wish to start with a simpler Certificate II and then progress to Certificate III and onward to a full Advanced Diploma, the choice is yours. You can leave and return to your VET pathway at any time.
- Vocational teaching methods include case studies, and role plays. This makes a VET program more practical and much more satisfying than writing a 3000-word University essay. The course you learn in a VET program can be readily applied to your workplace situation.
- A VET qualification is nationally recognised by employers and Universities. This means that an employer will understand you have completed a post-secondary tertiary qualification and a University will give you course credit should you wish to go on to University study.
Which qualification level to study?
Certificates I-IV are the basic qualifications and prepare candidates for both employment and further education and training. Certificates I-II are focused on basic vocational skills and knowledge. Certificates III-IV deliver training in more advanced skills and knowledge.
Diploma and Advanced Diploma level courses take between one and two years to complete, and are considered to be a step prior to study at degree level. They are focused on developing specialised and broad knowledge and skills.
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is the policy for regulated qualifications in the Australian education and training system. More information on AQF levels: https://www.aqf.edu.au/aqf-levels.

We've heard about pork ribs but beef ribs is something we or at least I rarely hear about. I must say this is definitely an unrated cut of meat.What makes this even more exciting is the asian twist. The sweet and spicy marinate is quite unusual but somehow this oddity seem to balance the whole dish.
I love anything with soy sauce, star anise and cinnamon. The smell of this sauce has a very heart warming effect on me perhaps because it reminds me of home cooked food. Then again I would not exactly say this is very authentic since I have honestly not tried this dish before until the day we made it.
This dish requires almost zero effort but some patiences! You basically marinate the meat, and let the oven slow cook the meat!
Recipe Adopted from Sorted (here) for 2 people.
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- knob of fresh ginger, minced
- 1 red chilli, sliced
- 2 star anise
- bottle of light soy sauce (150ml)
- brown sugar (225g)
- beef flat ribs (1kg)
- a shot of rice wine vinegar
- bunch of fresh coriander
To a big bowl, Add garlic, ginger, chili, star anise, sugar, soy sauce and meat
Cover and Marinade anywhere between 1 and 6 hours.
Preheat the oven to 140°C.
Pour 2 glasses of water over the marinated ribs, transfer to a pot with lid or oven safe bowl/dish (use aluminium foil as a lid) and place into the oven to cook for 3 hours.
Remove the ribs from the oven once cooked and turn the temperature up to 220°C.
Scoop the ribs from the liquid, transfer to a plate and cover with tin foil to keep warm.
Reduce the marinade to a thicker consistency and splash in a shot of rice wine vinegar.
Serve the ribs with rice, scattering everything with chili and coriander leaves.

The University of Arkansas at Monticello men's basketball team defeated Great American Conference foe Northwestern Oklahoma State Thursday night at home by a final score of 87-77.
Arkansas-Monticello (16-2, 12-2 GAC) surged ahead of Northwestern Oklahoma State (8-11, 4-10 GAC) early on in this contest with a 7-2 run to begin the game. This match-up saw only one tie early in the first half which lasted less than a minute as once the Weevils reclaimed the lead, they would never surrender it for the remainder of regulation, despite a comeback from the Rangers. UAM staved off the NWOSU run late in the game to secure the victory at 87-77.
UAM was guided offensively by junior Tyrin Jones who totaled a career-high as Weevil with 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the floor. Jones added three rebounds, three assists, and one steal to his overall stat-line as well.
Multiple Weevils found themselves in double-digit scoring as Karim Mawuenyega (17), Cobe Goosby (16), Vicktor Arnick (10), and Stephon Gordon (10) powered the UAM offense to victory. Derylton Hill and Stephen Glassco Jr. each provided leadership defensively as each led Arkansas-Monticello in rebounds with seven each.
Final team stats on the night for UAM included 60 percent shooting from the field (28-for-47), 50 percent on tree's (8-for-16), and 77 percent on foul shots (23-for-30). The Rangers finished the game shooting 49 percent (30-for-61) from the field, 20 percent from beyond the arc (2-for-10), and 71 percent from the charity stripe (15-for-21).
The Weevils will be back in action next on Saturday, February 4 as UAM will host the Bulldogs of Southwestern Oklahoma State in a GAC match-up scheduled for 3 p.m.
