The revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, the EU legislation on financial markets known as Mifid II, will make legitimate hedging more expensive and impact on liquidity levels consultancy group GreySpark Partners has warned.
In October, the European Commission is expected to
publish the proposed legislation for Mifid II, which is
designed to promote transparency and harmonise regulations
across trading facilities.
The report by GreySpark warned against Mifid II
adopting a universal approach for market segments and called on
legislators to introduce rules concerning pre and post trade
transparency as well as the push to exchange trading for some
instruments in phases across asset classes.
Fred Ponzo, managing partner at GreySpark, said:
Mifid II is wide in scope and has a lack of precision in
areas such as the treatment of commodity derivatives. It is
clear that some of the proposals are there to appease the
Despite this, the GreySpark report said that it was
unlikely that some of the more controversial aspects of Mifid
II will be published in the draft due out this autumn.

MASTERS IN FINANCE IN USA
The United States of America is one of the top choices for further studies among students not only because of its prestige but also because it provides them the opportunity of getting excellent internships, networking, a successful career and a higher rate of investment return.
Masters in Finance or Master of Science in Finance (as known in the US) is a postgraduate degree for anyone who wants to have a career in the field of finance. This degree provides its students with a deeper and broader understanding as well as exposure to the field of finance as compared to an MBA, which is more diverse and covers all fields of business and management
Cost of Living and Tuition Fees
The cost of living in America for an individual is somewhere between $700 and $1000 per month which would roundabout to a maximum of $12,000 a year. This includes all possible expenses like study material, accommodations, travel cost, meals, and personal expenses. It sometimes may be cheaper to find a place to live by yourself rather than staying in a dorm room provided by the school.
The average tuition fees for Masters of Science in Finance in the US comes around $50,000 per year, however, if you opt to study in one of the top 5 Schools providing this degree, the average increases to $60,000 per year.
As an international student, it may be really hard for some students to arrange the funds to cover not only the tuition fee of the program but also the cost of living in a foreign country. For this, there are various scholarships available to them which are funded by not only the government but also by some private organizations or specific non-profit institutions. Some schools offer partial or full scholarships too to their students on merit basis.
- Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program
- Fulbright Foreign Student Program
- Non- Governmental Scholarships
Abbey Road Summer Scholarships

The MSF program from this university is a 16-month curriculum consisting of three full-time semesters and a summer internship. The few advantages of this program are that it requires no prior work experience from students and considers each and every one of them for partial and full tuition scholarships. It enables the students to focus on the skills and knowledge being offered by the program rather than worrying about its cost.
Work Permit (during and after graduation)
An international student studying in the US even has the opportunity to work part-time while school is in session whether it be to pay the tuition fee, gain some work experience or to just explore and earn a little extra money but they will be restricted by the terms of their visa.
Under the F-1 visa or the student visa, there are 4 legal ways in which a student can work:
This is the most freely available employment opportunity that an international student has. In simple words, a student can work anywhere in the campus whether it be a library or a cafeteria or it can be an off campus research lab which is affiliated with the school. This is the only type of employment an international student can pursue within the first academic year itself and can apply for 30 days before classes even start. Work hours are limited to 20 hours per week while school is in session, but a student can work full time during vacations.
An international student can only work off campus when they have completed a full academic year and have some sort of economic hardship which is beyond their control. For this the student has to contact their School Official who must approve of the reason and recommend off campus employment. If approved by the U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement the student can work for 20 hours per week.
1. Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
This type of employment is part of the school curriculum and is designed to give the students real world experience in their particular field of studies. Unlike the other kinds of employment, this does not have any hour per week restrictionsactivist is full time. Just like off-campus employment, the international student must have completed a full academic year to be eligible for a CPT.
2.Optional Practical Training (OPT)
This refers to the type of temporary employment which relates to the student’s field of study. A student can receive up to and no more than 12 months of employment in this way which can be divided into either pre or post competition (of studies) OTP or both. But if a student has participated in a year or more of full time CPT they are not eligible for OPT.
If a student wants to work in the US after completing their degree, they should find a job within the time period of the (student visa) F-1 VISA, so that they are able to apply for one of the different types of work visa (H-1B, H-2B, H-3, L-1 or O-1) which suits both the job and the company.
Masters of Science in Finance is an exceptional program for anybody who wants to have a career in finance or is simply interested in knowing more about the field. It is a meticulous as well as a competitive program which focuses on both the theory and practical aspects of finance. The applicants of this program have a clear idea about their short term as well as long-term goals, therefore, if you are ambitious, determined and hardworking, the degree in masers in finance will provide you with the knowledge to help you succeed. Some other schools which have a good MSF program are University of Rochester, Arizona State University, University of Southern California, University of Texas and University of Notre Dame.

Published at Tuesday, 03 September 2019. Coloring Pages. By Villetta Herve.
Have you ever sat back and really thought about how much fun you really do have when you are sitting down coloring with your kids? If you are like most adults you might simply shrug it off and not really pay that much attention to this; yet there quite a few adults that really embrace that creative side and decide to express it by drawing or painting as either a hobby or a profession. If you are one of the really creative people you are likely to take that next step and simply make your creative passions work for you. This is something that many people really never give that much thought to as kids; or maybe those kids that became well known artists always knew that they wanted to share their creativity with the world. It is kind of amazing when you really think about the fact that just sitting there coloring either by yourself or with your kids really can make a big difference in your life.
Possibly, you may think that when he prepares the best samples of it, it is sufficient and perfect. No that isn't the case, teaching your little one or ones to actually search for their own coloring pages introduce children to the Internet. By teaching them to do so, your little one will develop hand eyes coordination by using the keyboard and mouse. Their skills on how to search for the information that they are looking for will prove to be invaluable in latter years. Before long I'm sure your child will start to teach you a thing or two about the Internet that you didn't know. It isn't something an activity of daily life, even it can be a best thing for your child's birthday party. You can use your free coloring sheet to have a coloring contest where of course everyone wins a prize as another fun activity. Keep in mind that these are coloring page which you can keep in your kid's scrapbook forever. This simple activity will become something that can be passed down from generation to generation.
And lastly, aside from all the great amount of happiness, education and satisfaction that these coloring pages will provide to your kids, you are sure to agree when I say that they will give you some amount of time to lay back and relax, instead of chasing your kid around the house for various reasons. They will also help maintain a great, friendly rapport between the two of you, and will be a fun activity altogether, whether on an individual basis, or a collective one.

The circadian clock of the Caenorhabditis elegans worm could provide important insights into the mammalian circadian clock, a new study from University of Nevada, Reno, has found.
"Circadian rhythms are important in all organisms because they regulate biological functions such as food intake, temperature, metabolic rate and sleep," said Alexander van der Linden.
"The discovery of clock-controlled genes in C. elegans should lead to an expanded research role in worms, and give a better understanding of the mammalian circadian clock," he added.
A team of researchers led by professors of biology Piali Sengupta and Michael Rosbash at Brandeis University, Waltham, and lead author van der Linden, who is a former postdoctoral fellow in the Sengupta Lab and now assistant professor in the College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno, has uncovered genes in C. elegans under clock control from both light and temperature.
"We now not only have a new model to study the function of this important biological clock, but we can also study how the clock evolved over time, since nematodes and humans diverged about 600 to 1,200 million years ago," said van der Linden.
Almost every organism on earth exhibits circadian rhythms - periodic cycles of behavior or gene expression that repeat roughly every 24 hours. These rhythms are generated by a circadian clock - an internal time-keeping mechanism - which can be entrained and synchronized by environmental signals such as temperature or light/dark cycles.
"Given its small and well-mapped nervous system, combined with a wealth of available genetic and behavioral tools, C. elegans is a viable research organism in the circadian field. The next critical step will be to determine how these worm molecular rhythms relate to circdian behavioral rhythms," he said.
The research was published in the peer-reviewed, open-access journal, PLoS Biology.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
 This application claims priority from Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/513,051, filed Jul. 29, 2011.
 1. Field
 This invention relates in general to spent nuclear fuel pools and, more particularly, to power sources which can back up spent nuclear fuel pool cooling and monitoring in the event of a power outage.
 2. Related Art
 Pressurized water nuclear reactors are typically refueled on an eighteen month cycle. During the refueling process, a portion of the irradiated fuel assemblies within the core are removed and replaced with fresh fuel assemblies which are relocated around the core. The removed spent fuel assemblies are typically transferred under water to a separate building that houses a spent fuel pool in which these radioactive fuel assemblies are stored. The water in the spent fuel pools is deep enough to shield the radiation to an acceptable level and prevents the fuel rods within the fuel assemblies from reaching temperatures that could breach the cladding of the fuel rods which hermetically house the radioactive fuel material and fission products. Cooling continues at least until the decay heat within the fuel assemblies is brought down to a level where the temperature of the assemblies is acceptable for dry storage.
 Events in Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant reinforced concerns of the possible consequences of a loss of power over an extended period to the systems that cool spent fuel pools. As the result of a tsunami there was a loss of off-site power which resulted in a station blackout period. The loss of power shut down the spent fuel pool cooling systems. The water in some of the spent fuel pools dissipated through vaporization and evaporation due to a rise in the temperature of the pools, heated by the highly radioactive spent fuel assemblies submerged therein. Without power over an extended period to pump replacement water into the pools the fuel assemblies could potentially become uncovered, which could, theoretically, raise the temperature of the fuel rods in those assemblies, possibly leading to a breach in the cladding of those fuel rods and the possible escape of radioactivity into the environment.
 It is an object of this invention to provide a back-up system that is capable of sustaining spent fuel pool cooling, independent of on- or off-site power, utilizing the power derived from the waste decay heat generated in the spent fuel pool.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
 These and other objects are achieved by a spent fuel storage facility design having a spent fuel building enclosing a spent fuel pool filled with a radiation shielding liquid. A spent fuel rack within the spent fuel pool is provided for supporting spent fuel or other irradiated reactor components. A power generation system is provided that is responsive to a temperature difference between either the spent fuel rack and the radiation shielding liquid, or the radiation shielding liquid and the ambient environment to supply power without input from off-site sources. A pump system is powered by the power generation system to add a suitable liquid coolant into the spent fuel pool. The pump is configured with a fluid intake from an auxiliary reservoir of the liquid coolant and a fluid outlet that discharges into the spent fuel pool. The pump system is operable to turn on the pump when the radiation shielding liquid in the spent fuel pool gets below a certain level. Desirably, the radiation shielding liquid and the liquid coolant both comprise water.
 Preferably, the spent fuel storage facility includes sensors within the spent fuel building that monitor a condition of the spent fuel pool. Desirably, the sensors can be powered by the power generation system and transmit the condition of the spent fuel pool to a remote location when other power sources are not available.
 In one embodiment, the power generation system comprises a thermoelectric module. Preferably, the thermoelectric module is supported within the spent fuel pool by the spent fuel racks. In a second embodiment, the power generation system comprises a Stirling engine. In a third embodiment, the power generation system comprises an organic Rankine cycle engine. In another embodiment, the power generation system comprises redundant power generators and, preferably, each of the power generators relies on a different principle for converting the temperature difference to generate power.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
 The concerns over the potential consequences of a station blackout resulting in a loss of cooling of the spent fuel pool over an extended period became reinforced after a tsunami disabled Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. This invention presents a means of providing additional pathways for continued cooling of the spent fuel pool contents in nuclear power plants when there is no external power available.
 FIG. 1 shows a spent fuel pool 12 enclosed within a spent fuel pool building 10. A fuel rack 14 is situated within the spent fuel pool 12 and is submerged in a pool of borated water 16. The fuel rack 14 supports a number of radioactive spent fuel assemblies after having been removed from an adjacent reactor system (not shown). Typically, a recirculation system recirculates the borated water in the spent fuel pool 12 through a heat exchange system, where it is cooled to maintain the temperature of the spent fuel pool at a desired level and assure that the cladding of the fuel rods within the fuel assemblies remains below a temperature which could result in cladding failure. When there is no power for the cooling pumps to operate during a station blackout, the decay heat from the fuel rods causes the pool water temperature to rise, and eventually the water level in the pool will start to decrease due to evaporation. Replacing this lost water may keep the fuel from overheating and/or becoming uncovered, but power is required to run auxiliary pump 18 which is connected to a make-up reservoir for adding water to the spent fuel pool. Desirably, the intake pump 18 is connected to an ocean, sea, lake or other sizable water source for this purpose. In accordance with the embodiments described herein, the decay heat from the spent fuel in the pool 12 is used to generate the needed power. The power can also be employed to operate a cooler 36, such as a fan 78 which can be oriented to pass air, preferably drawn from outside the spent fuel pool building 10, over the borated water from the pool 12, circulated through the conduit 82 by a pump 80, to cool the borated water in the spent fuel pool. Both the fan 78 and the pump 80 draw their power through the power distribution block 84.
 There are two general approaches described herein for the case wherein the power to be generated is electricity. Each approach can be used independently, but employing them in parallel can yield a more efficient and reliable system.
 The first general approach is to use commercially available thermoelectric modules 24 to transform the decay heat into electricity, using the temperature difference between the borated water in the spent fuel pool 16 and the fuel rack 14. The thermoelectric modules 24 can be installed on the fuel racks 14 as shown in FIG. 1. Thermoelectric modules are commercially available and one is schematically illustrated in FIG. 2 and shown attached to a fuel rack 14 and identified by reference character 24 in FIG. 1. A thermoelectric module 24 generally consists of two or more elements of N and P-type doped semiconductor material 26 that are connected electrically in series and thermally in parallel. N-type material is doped so that it will have an excess of electrons (more electrons than needed to complete a perfect molecular lattice structure) and P-type material is doped so that it will have a deficiency of electrons (fewer electrons than are necessary to complete a perfect lattice structure). The extra electrons in the N material and the "holes" resulting from the deficiency of electrons in the P material are the carriers which move the heat energy from a heat source 28 through the thermoelectric material to a heat sink 30. The electricity that is generated by a thermoelectric module is proportional to the magnitude of the temperature difference between each side of the module.
 The second option is to use a waste heat engine 38 to generate electricity for the pumps. Such an engine 38 may use, for example, a Stirling cycle or an organic Rankine cycle.
 A Stirling engine is a heat engine operating by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gases, commonly referred to as the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work; in this case, to drive an electric generator. An alpha-type Stirling engine 42 is illustrated in FIG. 3 and includes two cylinders 44 and 46. The expansion cylinder 44 is maintained at a high temperature, e.g., in contact with the borated water from the spent fuel pool, while the compression cylinder 46 is cooled, e.g., with ambient air. The passage 48 between the two cylinders contains a regenerator 34. The regenerator is an internal heat exchanger and temporary heat store placed between the hot and cold spaces such that the working fluid passes through it first in one direction then the other. Its function is to retain, within the system, that heat which will otherwise be exchanged with the environment at temperatures intermediate to the maximum and minimum cycle temperatures, thus enabling the thermal efficiency of the cycle to approach the limiting Carnot efficiency defined by those maxima and minima temperature extremes.
 FIG. 4 illustrates a beta-type Stirling engine. There is only one cylinder 52 in a beta-type Stirling engine. The cylinder 52 is maintained hot at one end 54 and cold at the other 56. A loose fitting displacer 58 shunts the air between the hot and cold ends of the cylinder. A power piston 60 at the end of the cylinder drives the fly wheel 50.
 Another waste heat engine that can be used for driving the electric generator 70 is an organic Rankine cycle engine schematically illustrated in FIG. 5 by reference character 40. The Rankine cycle is the heat engine operating cycle used by all steam engines. As with most engine cycles, the Rankine cycle is a four-stage process schematically shown in FIG. 5. The working fluid is pumped by a pump 62 into a boiler 64. While the fluid is in the boiler, an external heat source heats the fluid. The hot water vapor then expands to drive a turbine 66. Once passed the turbine, the steam is condensed back into liquid and recycled back to the pump to start the cycle all over again. The pump 62, boiler 64, turbine 66 and condenser 68 are the four parts of a standard steam engine and represent each phase of the Rankine cycle. The organic Rankine cycle operates with the same principle as a traditional steam Rankine cycle, as utilized by the great majority of thermal power plants today. The primary difference is the use of an organic chemical as the working fluid rather than steam. The organic chemicals used by an organic Rankine cycle include freon and most other traditional refrigerants such as iso-pentane, CFCs, HFCs, butane, propane and ammonia. These gases boil at extremely low temperatures allowing their use for power generation at low temperatures. There are a few other differences as well. Heating and expansion occur with the application of heat to an evaporator, not a boiler. The condenser can utilize ambient air temperatures to cool the fluid back into a liquid. There is no need for direct contact between the heat source at the evaporator or the cooling source at the condenser. A regenerator may also be used to increase the efficiency of the system.
 Both the Rankine cycle engine and the Stirling cycle engine will use the heated bulk spent fuel pool water for their heat input and ambient air for their cool side. The thermoelectric module approach and the waste heat engine approach can be used together since neither method effects the other's operation. Also, there is a favorable negative feedback loop, that is, as the fuel and pool water heats up, the efficiency of these systems increase.
 Referring back to FIG. 1, it can be appreciated that the system can be initiated as the level of the borated water 16 within the pool 12 depletes, by the float 74 which enables the pump 18 to draw water from the reservoir 72 into the pool. Additionally, sensors 76 can be powered by either the auxiliary power source 24 or 38 to provide signals to remote locations indicative of the condition of the spent fuel pool and its contents so that the condition of the plant can be managed accordingly.
 While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure. For example, the Stirling engine or the Rankine cycle engine can be directly connected to the pumps to mechanically drive the pumps rather than generate electricity for that purpose. Accordingly, the particular embodiments disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the invention which is to be given the full breadth of the appended claims and any and all equivalents thereof.

I have a hunch that the title caught your eye, didn’t it? I have to admit, Labyrinth sounds promising, and from what I’ve seen so far in various gameplay videos, it seems to deliver on that promise. So, what is Labyrinth? Well, if you were hoping for a game starring David Bowie, sorry to disappoint. Labyrinth is a hybrid of sorts that blends CCG, tactical RPG, and classic dungeon building. You build parties of 3 heroes, each with their own card deck, and then you raid dungeons built by other players. As you level up and grow your collection, you can build and expand your own dungeons and defend them against other players’ heroes. On offense, you get various cards that help you build your heroes’ decks; on defense, you build decks for your dungeon Boss that include minions and traps.
According to the game’s developers, they are hoping that by including a turn-based 3D combat system, they will bring more action and tactical thinking into the battlefield and in the process move away from traditional CCG rules and play (although 3D combat based on CCG rules reminds me a bit of Loot & Legends (Free) and Card Hunter). What should make the game stand out among similar games is the dungeon building part. The multiplayer part of the game is asynchronous, and you get to attack someone’s dungeon while they are not online, a bit like Clash of Clans in a way.
When you attack, you have to overcome various encounters set up by the dungeon builder (in other words, you’ll have to beat his deck in 3D combat). The good thing is that you don’t lose gold if the raid is successful but, rather, just rank levels. I’m intrigued by what I’ve heard so far, and I wonder how the various systems will end up blending (or not blending). The game will of course be F2P and will be coming to iOS and Android at some point in the future.

Ooooh, this is gonna make Donald Trump so angry... which means it's a good thing!!
And boy, are they ever!!
News team, asseeeeemble!
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay has just cast(or) the roles of Katniss' personal camera crew (imagine if they filmed Keeping Up with the Kardashians in a war zone) and brothers, Castor and Pollux!
Pollux, the tongue-less Avox (exactly the opposite of Miley Cyrus), will be played by Elden Henson, and his brother Castor will be played by Wes Chatham.
Whoa, we just got a 90s nostalgia boner!
The casting makes perfect sense! When going head to head against the Capitol, Pollux' slapshot is going to really come in handy! Puck President Snow right?
We hope Elden thanks Coach Bombay if he wins any awards for his role!
One thing's for sure, Avoxes fly together…just really quietly!

Biden Proposal Tries to Align US With Global Minimum Tax
On March 9, President Biden released a budget proposal for fiscal year 2024. The Biden administration proposed doubling the tax rate on US multinationals’ foreign earnings and making other changes that would align the US with the global minimum tax known as Pillar II. The Biden administration has made similar proposals in past years, and those proposals were not enacted when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. Now that Republicans control the House, it is unlikely that there will be any tax legislation soon.

Being Good At Media Criticism Doesn't Always Mean Being Good At Media Strategy
from the focus-on-the-paper? dept
Plenty of paper based publications are struggling to figure out how to play in the internet world. While offline subscription revenue is still important, publications have to realize that it’s a revenue stream that is likely to dwindle over time. Surprisingly, though, the Columbia Journalism Review, has decided to bet in the other direction. The dean of the journalism school there has decided to cut the budget of the publications popular website cjrdaily.org in half, causing its two top editors to quit. Instead of investing in the future, Columbia plans to use that money on a direct mail campaign to try to drum up more subscribers to the paper magazine. You can understand the basic reasoning, if you look at the decision as a snapshot today. Paper subscriptions bring in revenue. The website, so far, has no ads — and probably doesn’t generate enough traffic (only 500k page views per month) to make any serious ad revenue in the near future. However, if you look at it from a trend perspective, it seems risky. Paper subscriptions for publications is still a dwindling market, and investing in online properties — including experimenting with new business models, seems like a bet worth making these days. That doesn’t mean ignoring the paper side of the business — but recognizing that the bang for the buck in a direct mail campaign is likely to be pretty low. From a long term perspective, putting a bigger effort into online properties seems to make more sense.

Our Expressions Natural Elements (item #138395) feature wood veneer words and come with five of each greeting. They can be colored, sanded or left in their natural state. There is something about combining the natural elements of wood, linen thread and paper that really elevate the level of cardmaking, especially if you are a nature lover.


In this content-flooded world, it’s getting increasingly difficult to trigger interest in audiences for something. Textual contents are getting repetitive and boring. But hope lies in imagination and creativity. Creative and imaginative content still does wonders as far as garnering attention from the audiences is concerned. Weaving everything in a story is the key to crafting presentations.
Business-details are not very interesting stuff by themselves and presenting them in an “as it is”-way hardly works. But, portraying them in a rhythm and flow of a story engages audiences with a certainty. Stories have always been an appealing method to convey facts and information. A simple account of facts never attracts audiences, but merely a tinge of creative and emotional inputs makes it a compelling and convincing description. And this creative description has a great recall-value which you desperately need for your business. Your research, findings, facts and profile of company, products, services etc. are dissolved in a story in a proportionate manner to capture the attention of your target-audiences.
Research one after another has proved that people going through a story grasp everything as an experience. And that experience always triggers a curiosity in them for the core of the presentation. So today, it is always more advantageous to prepare presentations knotted in a story.


Actor Lane Garrison has been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence - according to a U.S. report.
The former Prison Break star's Playboy Playmate girlfriend Ashley Mattingly accused him of attacking her during an alleged heated argument on Saturday.
According to TMZ.com, police responded to a call at his Beverly Hills apartment on Saturday night, but Garrison had left the scene by the time they arrived. However, according to the website, police returned to his residence on Sunday and arrested the actor.
He is reportedly being held on $50,000 bail.
The incident is said to have occurred hours after Mattingly took to Twitter.com to announce the end of their relationship, writing, "Sooo happy to be single again from Lane Garrison bye bye."
When one follower accused her of being mean, she responded and suggested Garrison's bad behaviour was to blame for the split, posting: "No drunk a** is trying to brake (sic) into my apt (apartment)!"
The fall out comes two months after cops responded to another 911 call following reports of a domestic dispute between the couple.
An incident report for that altercation was filed but no arrests were made.
The latest incident comes almost three years to the day since Garrison was released from prison after serving part of a 40-month sentence for vehicular manslaughter and drink driving. The actor was over the limit behind the wheel when a 17-year-old student was killed in a December, 2006, car crash

According to the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy, the greatest increase in heroin abuse has occurred among young adults, ages 18-25. 156,000 people began using heroin in 2012, bringing the total to approximately 669,000. Their average age is 23 years old. The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) reports that heroin abuse more than doubled from 2002 (214,000) to 2012 (467,000).
A drug once largely confined to urban populations, heroin has now managed to infiltrate communities all over the country. Its resurgence has had a particularly devastating impact on upper-middle class suburban communities, where teenagers and young adults are graduating to the drug after abusing prescription painkillers like oxycodone and hydrocodone. It is estimated that 75% of heroin treatment patients report abusing prescription painkillers before switching over to heroin.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with heroin abuse, contact the National Referral Center for Heroin Addiction today. We’re ready to connect you with the best possible treatment resources to help you overcome addiction and rebuild your life.
Heroin is a semi-synthetic opiate made from morphine, which is extracted from the poppy plant. The three major types of heroin include: black tar, white and brown. Heroin is typically snorted, smoked or injected and comes in various levels or purity. One of the more dangerous aspects of heroin is that its content usually varies according to the distributor.
White heroin is often sold as a water-soluble salt and is considerably purer than brown, which is a base and requires an acid to activate. Although historically available in a powder form, heroin can easily be obtained as a pill these days. Powder heroin is usually cut with sugar or some other additive agent. Purity levels can reach as high as 90%.
Heroin comes into the United States mainly from South America and Southeast Asia. During recent years, the DEA has noticed a significant increase in importation from Latin America and has reported a 320% increase in seizures from 2008-2013. They have also said that it is not uncommon to find as many as 10,000 bags during a single seizure. Heroin has become the drug of choice for both rural and urban criminal organizations. Officials at the DEA field office in New York City, where there has been an 84% increase in heroin-related deaths from 2010-2012, say that it is the number-one drug threat in the region.
During heroin’s first popularity explosion in the 1950s and 60s, the drug was commonly abused by minority men. In the present day, the drug’s affordability, accessibility and similar effects to prescription painkillers have made it the preferred drug of a whole new population of abusers. A recent survey of 9,000 heroin abusers revealed that 90% of them were white men and women.
In 2012 an estimated 6.8 million people were abusing prescription painkillers; however advanced monitoring measures and recent institutional crackdowns on prescription opioid abuse have made it more difficult for addicts to access pills. Heroin has been filling this void in various communities, going for as little as $4 per bag compared to $20 for a single oxycodone tablet. In areas like Chicago, the going rate is now $10 for a dose of 7%-10% pure heroin, compared to just ten years ago when 2%-3% pure doses were going for between $40 and $50.

A large majority of American states have experienced a significant increase in heroin fatalities over the past few years. Top law enforcement officials report that in many communities, heroin-related deaths now rival fatal car accidents. The problem has spread throughout the country, from New Jersey, where there have been over 800 deaths this year alone to Wisconsin, which saw 227 deaths in 2013 to Kentucky, where overdose deaths increased 650% from 2011-2012. Pennsylvania saw 124 heroin deaths in 2013, while Connecticut saw 257 that same year. In Massachusetts 185 people have died from heroin since November 1.
Heroin’s potency and intense withdrawal process very quickly turn abusers into addicts. The longer you or your loved one wait to get help, the harder it will be to stop. The National Referral Center for Heroin Addiction is committed to helping you find quality treatment options and restore your peace-of-mind. Call us now to get the help you or your loved one need.

I've always liked the idea of gathering together and displaying a lot of something. In C.S. Lewis' The Magician's Nephew, there is a place called The Wood Between the Worlds. I've always wanted to create the feeling of that place in a central hallway, by lining it with pictures of doorways--inviting, welcoming, light-spilling-out-of-them, hospitable doorways.
I went to a basement restaurant once, where the ceiling was covered in upside-down umbrellas, with light shining through them. I've always liked umbrellas as accessories. They're so protective and covering--like being under the wing of a protective mother bird--and something about their shape suggests that they are glad to do it.
Candles are lovely in large quantities because they begin to resemble stars or campfires, which is very welcoming and human. I still use white Christmas lights too. I think I was supposed to have given these up after college, but they are still lovely. They succeed in having lots of little points of warm light, like candles, but have the merit of doing so with less mess. They are also lovely strung around a porch at nighttime.
Having a lot of ceiling lanterns like this could make for an interesting hallway as well.


Odour impacts are assessed according to two principal approaches: evaluation and estimation of the pollutant relapse on the territory and monitoring through standard methodologies. In particular, odour monitoring is characterized by a great complexity due principally to the strict association of odour pollution to human perception. The standardized methodology for the determination of odour concentration is represented by an instrumental sensory technique, the dynamic olfactometry, that is affected by some limitations. This methodology provides punctual odour concentration data and it does not allow to perform continuous and field measurements, useful for monitoring the industrial processes causing odour emissions. The need of carrying out a continuous monitoring having been encouraged the use of an odour surrogate monitoring, performed by specific or not specific instruments (chemical analysers or electronic noses). The surrogate measurements employment is based on the fact that the ratio of surrogate concentration to odour units must be relatively constant and known. This paper focuses on the development of a multiparametric system for the evaluation of odour impact caused by an industrial source. The system has been tested during olfactometric monitoring campaigns conducted at the industrial site, coupling the results of electronic noses. The purpose of the research work has been to find an indicator for the odour emissions produced by the examined industrial site, and to correlate it with odour concentrations. This study has allowed to demonstrate the real applicability of not specific instruments to odour continuous monitoring, useful to detect a change of state in operating conditions of industrial processes and control it.

You will be wondering why a great deal of folks prefer to learn piano online when they can actually learn it from a reputable music school.

Playing Piano Using Guitar Chords
Every songbird can be identified by the unique song it sings, but a baby bird has to be taught by its parents to sing the family song. Baby birds, like humans, just ‘babble’ at first. If you decide to start out with a keyboard, make sure it is a full sized keyboard and that the keys are weighted.
Are you looking to learn chord piano? It is now easier than ever to learn piano, with so many options to choose from for lessons. Find out how you can learn to play piano starting today. As the internet grows and more people get online, the opportunities to learn new and exciting things has become far more accessible in our lives. We are now able to download entire courses for just about anything we can think of these days.
Then you can really accelerate your learning if you go straight to the keys rather and cut out the entire theory part. There are certain aspects of music theory that you should learn however, things like G flat being the same as F sharp. Or C flat being the same as B natural. However these are all things that you can easily pick up on with the right help.
It’s truly one of the most satisfying things you can do. (Right after touching your nose with your tongue. Or so I hear.) There’s no feeling like playing a difficult song and playing it flawlessly. Quite an ego-boost 😉
Stick with the course….The courses that are available to you online have enough material in them to keep you busy for ages. If you stick to your chosen course, you will be able to reach your goal of teaching yourself to play piano. Teaching yourself to play piano may seem very daunting at times, but if you are persistent and put in a valiant effort, you will be pleased with your results.
Mother birds sing the family song over and over to the baby birds as they try to repeat it back. At first, the baby birds are only able to sing back one or two notes, but they gradually learn to sing the whole song. And birds with two voice boxes even learn to sing their own harmony parts! Once baby birds learn the family song, they can start developing their very own songs.
In worst case scenario, they may feel inferior and slowly, lost confident in their ability to learn piano and it is quite likely that they will then give up and quit learning piano once and for all. Learning to play piano online is just the opposite of traditional methods. There are no one to supervise, urge them or even judge them on their learning pace.
If you prefer to learn songs that are more “top 40”, then be sure to get lessons tailored to your likes and dislikes. By learning the kind music you actually like, will ensure that you enjoy the learning process, and will keep things fun. What kind of time throughout the week do you have that you can dedicate to your learning process?.
The emergence of internet has introduced a fresh new way of learning how to play the piano. Besides the traditional method of signing up for class from music school and hiring of private piano teacher, today, you can choose to learn piano lessons online, learning by yourself.
Sometimes private instructors make musical theory, scales, sheet music, and chords sound imposing. Online piano courses usually embrace these elements and teach them to new students every single day.

By the way, if you remain unconvinced about the virtues of studying how to play the piano via the Internet, then here are the many benefits of Web-based piano course. First, the Internet is a repository of knowledge.
As a matter of fact there are a online piano courses that do an excellent job in teaching how to learn piano. If you decide for yourself you want to teach yourself to play piano, you should keep a few basic things in mind.
Piano lessons help children develop courage. It takes courage to face challenges without letting our anxiety and worries get the best of us. Piano lessons help students learn to accept challenges such as learning a difficult song, as well as to perform pieces in front of teachers, friends, and families at recitals.
You could choose the specific musical score sheets that you prefer to play. What you intend to do with your new skill will dictate how you’ll proceed with your lessons. If your aim was to only learn to play basic tunes, then you can decide not to advance to other levels after the first course.
Piano playing keeps your brain active. It’s very hard for your brain to rot when you consistently throw it the musical language to interpret. You won’t run out of things to do when you’re bored.
Online courses promote the joy of the learning experience. Learning online can be a very fun learning experience!. Under all the sheet music, in those scales and chords lies the magic musical composition. While many pianists can learn to play by ear, most beginners like to read and understand music and learn what keys what make sounds. How complicated can learning 88 keys on the piano be?.
Many children (including my own sons) have become much better readers after starting piano lessons. Further, piano lessons involves an interplay of both right and left brain activity that stimulates neural development.
Piano lessons teach students how to adjust their expectations if they can’t initially master a tough song or skills, and to tackle these big goals by taking small incremental steps. In the end, just like the baby songbirds that eventually learn to sing, students learn that they can accomplish great things and reach their dreams through careful and consistent effort.
Secondly, online piano lessons are affordable (or sometimes even free). You can find many websites that offer complete piano courses from beginners to advanced piano players. These lessons are usually recorded on videos that can be downloaded online.
Have you given traditional piano lessons a try? Or perhaps have always wanted to learn to play but are intimidated by the prospect? Learning piano online with new software that allows you to learn from home might be a good option for you. While traditional piano lessons can give you personal one-on-one training, don’t underestimate the power of the internet.
However, a teacher is not for everyone. If this is the case, then there are a few very beneficial courses that you can find online to help you learn piano by using some incredibly effective methods.
Many piano students spend much time learning how to play the piano. Years upon years of study time devoted to perfecting technique, tone, dynamics, etc. All the while, many of these same students have never really played the piano. That is, they have spent their time practicing in preparation for the moment when they can “perform” for others.
If you choose to learn through conventional methods, you’ll need to devote an hour at a time to a piano teacher. How often lessons occur during a week will depend on you and your teacher.

For some it can be very difficult to learn the piano. For others it can seem impossible. The minor details involved can sometimes confuse people to no end. Especially if you have no musical background what-so-ever.
Not only will this determine how quickly you learn, it might also help you determine which method would be the best for you to choose in order to learn piano. Learning through online resources will demand between 15 to 30 minutes per day at a minimum.
Thanks to internet technology, you can learn how to play piano chords and other basics in your own home. So, forget all the confusing and imposing stuff, and get started on learning how the piano should sound and what exactly makes those sounds.
Chances are, if you talk with an experienced pianist, he or she will explain how simple learning piano chords and scales can be. Now, imagine for a moment that you are learning from a true, proven instructor. Put away all your reservations and start enjoying yourself!.
Private instruction is normally the most effective method of how to learn piano, but if you believe that having a private instructor isn’t for you, then don’t worry, there are plenty of other ways to learn piano.
Imagine a writer forced to copy another novelists work. Insane right? But that’s essentially what people do when they recreate another composers work. It is not a creative act but a recreative one because while the pianist’s interpretation may be artistic, it does not mean that he created something original.

The pilot of a recreational drone that forced water-bombers from smoke-filled skies around Oliver last summer was never located, but future offenders who impede forest firefighters will face higher fines.
Fines for 19 offences under the Wildfire Act, including interfering with wildfire protection efforts, are being increased to among the highest in Canada, Forests Minister Steve Thomson said Thursday.
The fine for failing to comply with fire restrictions such as campfire bans will increase from $345 to $1,150. A new penalty of failing to comply with a stop-work order made because of fire risk will carry a maximum penalty of $100,000 and one year in prison.
Thomson said there are "constitutional" issues with a proposal to seize vehicles from people who toss cigarette butts out the window while driving, but the province is still considering its options.
A proposal to ban people from B.C. parks if they violate campfire restrictions is also being considered, but is not included in the current changes.
Thomson said the legislation will redefine "interference" with firefighters so it doesn't mean intentional interference. That would apply to boaters who blocked air tankers from filling with water on Okanagan Lake, as well as the drone pilot who caused aircraft to land as vineyards, homes and a school around Oliver were threatened by fire.
Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes the battle against two fires threatening the community last August were likely due to a recreational drone flown because "somebody just wanted a closer look.
"It was very hard to drive by the airport and see helicopters quiet on the ground, no bombers in the air, all the while people were clinging to the hope that the fire wouldn't reach their homes, their businesses," Hovanes said.

Having that extra bit of sunlight in the afternoons/early evenings (not to mention, the wonderfully warm weather we’ve been having in San Diego), reminds me of those summer days as a little kid when all I wanted to do (before it was time to come in for dinner), was ride my bike around the neighborhood with my friends. Sometimes the bikes were interchangeable with roller skates or skateboards, but there was just something about it…of having a set of “wheels” and rolling around the block, feeling the wind in my hair and the occasional cool breeze (if I happened to be riding downhill or pedaled a little faster), and knowing I had my own way of getting from point A to B (and that I was self sufficient in doing so)…well, it was a feeling of freedom and independence. Of course, I never wandered too far from my block…but in my mind, I knew if I wanted to, it would be a cinch to get to the 7-Eleven and back before the sun went down, and I could ride my bike all the way home, one-handed, with a refreshing, dinner-spoiling cherry and coke mixed Slurpee. Now THAT would be cool!
The first bike I remember was a yellow Huffy with a banana seat and streamers on the handle-bars. My next bike was a red retro Schwinn that my dad bought at a neighborhood garage sale. My four year-old, Isaac, learned how to ride a bike (no training wheels) a couple of months ago and I can see that he’s got that “feeling” too. We now spend a lot of afternoons watching him ride his bike up and down the street, enjoying that “feeling” of freedom and independence.

Nonfiction account of Japanese American experience during World War II. From life before the war to the battlefields of Europe, these incredible stories spurred my imagination and inspired this book.
Fictional account of a Japanese American family who relocates out of an internment camp to Chiago. My own family also left the Topaz Relocation Camp in Utah for Chicago. I can imagine them walking the streets of Clark and Division like the heroine of this outstanding book.
Gary Kamiya has been writing about San Francisco for decades, and his outstanding books have been a cornerstone of my own understanding of the city. His description of Bayview Heights and Hunters Point as the “Mordor” of San Francisco really resonated with me. Gary loves San Francisco, and his writings are insightful love letters to the city.
I grew up with Mr. Sulu on Star Trek. Seeing Asian face on TV was incredibly important to me. This manga-style graphic novel is memoir that tells story of Takei’s own family’s internment, which was emblematic of so many other Japanese American families.

A Vacation Haven You Must Visit Bognor Regis:
Bognor Regis is a small town with a lot to offer. It’s easy to get around and has some great places to visit, whether you’re looking for something relaxing or want something more active. In this post we’ve outlined some of the best things about this wonderful place!
A country house within Bognor Regis.
Bognor Regis is a town in the English county of East Sussex. It’s known for its beach, pier, and tourist attractions such as Chichester Cathedral and Bognor Regis Museum.
The town was founded by Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century AD as a Roman settlement called Eburovicum (meaning “a seaport for trading with Gaul”). In 993 King Edgar gifted it to Earl Godwin who built two churches there: St Mary’s Church which still stands today and All Saints’ Church which was destroyed during World War II (though its tower still stands). The name “Bognor” comes from Old English meaning “place where oak trees grow”.
The SS Great Central Railway Museum.
The SS Great Central Railway Museum is a railway museum in Bognor Regis, East Sussex, England. It is housed in a former Great Central Railway station and run by the National Railway Museum. It has exhibits that show how trains were used during the first half of the 20th century when they were still relatively new technology; these include locomotives and carriages from this period.
The building was built by Charles Pearson Henry Cammell & Co Ltd and opened on 9 December 1894 as “The Grand Hotel”. The hotel closed at midnight on 31 October 1981 having become uneconomic to run due to increased competition from other hotels in town – it was then converted into offices for British Railways (BR).
A beachfront cafe in Bognor Regis.
If you’re looking for a place to eat on the beach, then this is the place for you. Located on a wide sandy beach and overlooking the sea, it is open all year round and serves delicious food. The friendly owners of this cafe have been running it since they were children and they know how to make their customers’ day by serving great food at an affordable price.
You can also get some fresh air if weather conditions are fine, as there are plenty of outdoor spaces within their restaurant where patrons can sit with friends or family members while enjoying their meals!
Rockpool Bar & Grill at The Palace Hotel in Bognor Regis.
The Rockpool Bar & Grill at The Palace Hotel in Bognor Regis is a great place to hang out after work. The food is good and the service is friendly. Prices are reasonable, atmosphere is nice and decor is nice as well. This location has a lot to offer!
The ’15th Century’ pub in the town centre of Bognor Regis.
If you’re looking for a good place to eat or drink, then this is the pub to go to. It’s located in the town centre, which makes it easy to access from anywhere you need to be. The pub is also a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, who enjoy its atmosphere and selection of beers, wines and spirits.
An old hotel close to the seafront and the pier.
If you’re looking for a hotel with a friendly, family-run atmosphere and good reputation, then this is the place for you. Located close to the seafront and pier, it’s easy to get around. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, so if they can’t help with any questions or requests then they’ll point you in the right direction.
The location couldn’t be better: Bognor Regis is one of those places where everything is just within walking distance! You’ll find plenty of restaurants along with shops selling souvenirs like beach hats or clothing that will remind people back home of their holiday abroad; there’s also an ice cream parlour where visitors can enjoy some delicious treats after their day swimming in the sea or walking around town looking at all those amazing houses built centuries ago when England was still young compared with now (which means lots more space).
Discover Bognor regis’s Treasures in Comfort with Taxis
Bognor Regis is a small town, and it’s easy to get around. Most people prefer taxis because they’re convenient, affordable, and safe. The taxi drivers will also go places that you might not want to go on your own or with your friends.
Taxi in Bognor Regis drivers are available 24/7 so there’s no need to worry about getting home at night after having fun with your friends in the evening. You can even call ahead of time if you have a specific destination in mind so that when you arrive at the taxi stand they’ll know where exactly they should pick up their passengers from!
Coastal walks in East Sussex.
As you may know, walking is a great way to keep fit and healthy. It can help you lose weight and improve your overall health. If you are looking for an enjoyable activity that will benefit both your body and mind, then consider taking part in some coastal walks in East Sussex.
You’ll find many interesting things to do on these trails:
- Pick up wildflowers along the way! The more variety there is in one area of nature, the better it is for everyone involved (including animals). You can even use them as picturesque decorations around your home or office space!
- Explore new places! When we’re traveling through Europe or North America we usually just stay close enough by where everything looks familiar; however when traveling abroad we tend not only see new sights but also experience new cultures which sometimes involve foods from different parts of our planet such as India where curry dishes have become popular worldwide thanks largely due those dishes having originated from British colonialism centuries ago during medieval times when Britain conquered its neighbors including India.”
Bognor Regis is a tourist hot spot you must visit if you are looking to have a relaxing time away from home or work!
Bognor Regis is a town in East Sussex, England. It’s known as a popular tourist destination and has many things to offer.
Bognor Regis is a coastal town that has been around since medieval times. The town was once home to 20,000 people but now has just over 12,000 residents due to high prices and low population growth rate.
There are several things you can do while visiting this great place like:
- Take walks along the beachfront promenade watching surfers ride waves while enjoying fantastic views of the sea from above; or walk through quaint streets lined with charming shops selling souvenirs from all over Europe!
- Visit one of many galleries dedicated solely towards art exhibitions featuring paintings by famous artists like Van Gogh or Picasso who were born here too!
If you are planning a vacation in Bognor Regis, then I would highly recommend that you visit these places. They are all unique to the town and can really enhance your experience of this beautiful area!

Justice Clarence Thomas broke his nearly 7-year silence at Supreme Court oral arguments Monday. But that’s about all we really know.
It’s not clear what exactly the conservative justice said, but the well-respected SCOTUSblog believes he was cracking a joke about his alma mater, Yale Law School, with which he has a bitter, estranged relationship.As fellow justices were asking counsel questions about lawyers who graduated from Yale and Harvard Law School, the Court’s transcript of Boyer v. Louisiana quotes Thomas as jumping in and saying, “Well — he did not –“.
Several people noted on Twitter that Thomas spoke softly and it was difficult to hear him. The comment by the George H. W. Bush-appointed jurist provoked laughter, according to the transcript, and prompted Louisiana lawyer Carla Sigler to respond, “I would refute that, Justice Thomas.”
The last time Thomas was recorded speaking during an oral argument was February 22, 2006 in a death penalty case. His famous silence since then has coincided with other justices becoming increasingly talkative.
Here’s how SCOTUSblog reported Thomas’ quip on Monday:
Thomas, J. (Yale, JD), speaks: funny at argument–Yale degree could mean lawyer is incompetent, not competent, capital trial counsel.

Maroons Origin legend Wally Lewis said the Queensland Government should have fought harder to keep two Origin home games in 2013.
The Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) announced two home games for Sydney in 2013 as part of a five-year Origin schedule in Sydney on Tuesday.
The original scheduling for Brisbane's Lang Park to have two games in 2013 was made before the new independent commission came into power at the start of the season.
Under the new five-year schedule Queensland will host two games in 2014 and 2017.
The Blues also host two games in 2016 while the rival states host one each in 2015 with one game that year set aside for a neutral venue, probably Melbourne.
Queensland Sports Minister Steve Dickson said the state's debt has cost it the 2013 hosting rights to Origin matches.
He said the State Government could not afford a bidding war with New South Wales.
Lewis argued the Queensland Government was underestimating the importance and value of the Origin games to Queenslanders.
"Look anybody that doesn't fight hard to maintain a bit of loyalty and support for Queensland, I don't believe they're real Queenslanders," Lewis said.
"People that don't believe these games aren't the number one earner for Queensland need to go back to primary school."
Dickson said it would be financially irresponsible for the Government to write any more large cheques with an existing debt of $65 billion.
"If it's about cheque books at the end of the day, maybe New South Wales may have a bigger chequebook than us," he said.
"We just can't afford to go blowing big bundles of money at this point in time, on Origin or anything else."
New South Wales Premier Barry O'Farrell said the new five-year deal was a fairer arrangement for both states with Victoria being the biggest loser.
"We haven't spent a lot of money to get these games," O'Farrell said at a Sydney press conference.
"Each of these games will bring to the city (Sydney) $9-10 million into the economy."
New Blues coach Laurie Daley said the home games would be an advantage in 2013 but would count for nothing if the side did not prepare well.
The Blues have been installed as favourite by bookies to break their seven-year losing streak to the Maroons in 2013.
