Research shows that asphalt can last around 20 to 30 years if installed correctly and maintained. Although, it is very common for asphalt to sustain damage or wear and tear.
It is very common for commercial properties to have asphalt parking lots or driveways. If this is the case, you may need to consider an asphalt emulsion sealer to preserve the asphalt.
Asphalt repair is important in keeping driveways and parking lots in good condition. This can help to save you money over time and reduce the work necessary in this area.
Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about an asphalt emulsion sealer.
What is an Asphalt Emulsion Sealer?
An asphalt emulsion sealer can help to double the lifespan of an asphalt surface. It does what any good sealer does by sealing the surface from wear and tear.
This often becomes necessary since asphalt is not damage resistant. It is susceptible to damage, oil, and UV rays like any other outdoor surface.
When Do You Need an Asphalt Emulsion Sealer?
The experts at McConnell and Associates recommend that asphalt is sealed every 2 to 3 years. This will depend on the wear and tear in the surrounding climate.
Every asphalt surface is going to be slightly different with different factors. Some areas may sustain more wear and tear due to heavy traffic and weather conditions.
As the asphalt gets older, it may need to be seal coated a bit more frequently. This is also a great option if the asphalt has become damaged over time.
Damage may seem small at first, but it can progressively get worse if left on repaired.
The most common example of asphalt damage is cracking that develops in the asphalt. This will often happen if there are changes in moisture retention or extreme temperature changes.
For instance, an asphalt driveway may crack after heavy rain or snowfall. The moisture can seep into the surface causing cracks when is the temperature changes.
Holes in asphalt are another common problem that might occur on the surface. You need it to fix a hole in an asphalt driveway since the issue will only continue to get worse.
A hole in asphalt needs to be repaired before an asphalt emulsion sealer is used. This will help the finished look professional and be free of damage.
Sealing Asphalt Tips
If you are the owner or manager of a commercial property, you may want to seal the asphalt. This is a popular option since it helps to preserve asphalt surfaces for much longer.
This helps to greatly increase its lifespan and keep it looking like new. This is something that is very desirable, especially for an outdoor surface that’s used so often.
Here are some best practices for applying an asphalt emulsion sealer. It is very important to do this correctly, otherwise, the sealer will not be able to do its job.
Pick the Right Time
It is best to seal asphalt during warmer months of the year. It’s not impossible to do this in winter, but it’s recommended that you choose spring or summer instead.
UV rays help the pavement to dry out faster so that the sealer can cure completely. This is especially important if you need to be able to use the asphalt within the next day or two.
You also need to make sure that there will be no rain when you are doing this. Rain can interfere with the curing process and mess up all that work.
Leave it Alone
Before you seal asphalt, the area needs to be cleared. All vehicles and other objects should be removed to create a clean surface.
You should block off the area of asphalt as it is very important since all of your hard work can be destroyed if someone drives or walks over the pavement before it is done.
Follow the Directions
To apply a sealer, you may need squeegees or a sprayer depending on the size of the project. It is also a good idea to use a pressure washer to clean the asphalt before sealing it.
If you do this, keep in mind that it has to dry before proceeding. You should also use an oil stain primer to remove oil stains that can hinder the sealer from attaching.
Damage like cracks and holes will also need to be addressed before you seal the asphalt.
Is This a DIY or Professional Project?
If you ask the experts, everyone would recommend that you hire professional asphalt sealing. This seal is only able to do its job if it is applied properly to the asphalt surface.
Not only do you have to apply the seal coat, but you also have to repair any asphalt damage. Things like a crack in asphalt or holes need crack filler and other repair materials.
A professional will know exactly how to make these repairs and how to apply the sealer. A professional job will last much longer and give you your money’s worth.
Asphalt Sealing Details You Should Know
Commercial properties often have asphalt driveways or parking lots. Even though asphalt is a very durable surface, it can sustain damage and general wear and tear.
That is why an asphalt emulsion sealer can be a great option to give this asphalt a makeover. This will improve the appearance as well as help it to become more durable for the next 2 to 3 years.
Do you need an asphalt surface sealed? If this project feels too large to handle yourself, contact McConnel and Associates today.


After the Haryana State Government’s decision to extend eligibility criteria from Class 10th to 12th for the posts of Stenographers and Steno Typists in State Government jobs, Congress MLA asks to withdraw the decision. Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi in his statement on Tuesday hit at state Government for unanimously taking the decision to extend minimum qualification for said Group C posts. “With this decision jobs aspirants from Villages of Haryana will face discrimination”, said Congress CWC member and MLA Bishnoi.
In its recent move BJP-JJP led Haryana Govt brought resolution during cabinet meeting to extend minimum qualification for Steno-typist and Stenographer posts in Haryana State Government Departments. After implementation of recent move, in Haryana state Government jobs minimum educational qualification for Stnographer, Steno Typist and Clerk posts for new openings and promotion based will be 10+2. Earlier the minimum qualification for said posts was Matriculation.
On Tuesday, Bishnoi said that the State Government’s decision of amending the rules for recruitment and promotion in state govt jobs is direct violation and will harm aspirants from villages. He further added that this decision will curse dreams of about 20 lakh students from State.
Decision will harm aspirants from villages-
Questioning the Chief Minister of Haryana, Sh Manohar Lal Khattar, Bishnoi asked whether the move to amend qualification would not be an injustice to the parents who have been unable to provide Higher Education to their children due to their compulsions and poverty. The state government’s action would affect the youth aspiring to become Clerks, Stenographers and Steno Typists in Haryana State departments. As even the tenth pass staff posted at the rank of restorer would be deprived of promotion to the post of Steno and Clerk.

Bishnoi further demanded the Haryana State Chief Minister to withdraw the decision immediately. The decision has been taken by State Government to increase minimum qualification for Class C Stenographer, Steno-Typist and Clerk posts.
Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi during interaction with media said that most of the aspiring students from rural areas will be affected by this decision. He further asked state government that how the qualification can be increased even after getting the job.

Memory problems are usually met in most people. Memory loss is nothing to take lightly. Moreover, there are no guarantees to prevent memory loss, but some activities might help.
Read down below for some tips to improve your memory.
Here Are The Most Important Things To Do
First on the list is to be physically active every day. That raises blood flow to the whole body, including the brain, and might help keep your memory sharp. According to professionals, 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity, or 75 minutes a week of jogging, is vital for your daily routine.
Another thing is to stay mentally active. Your brain will stay in shape due to mind activities. For example, crossword puzzles, playing an instrument, a new hobby, and volunteering at a local school or community group.
Social interaction helps with stress and depression, both contributing to memory loss.
Are you a messy person?
Well, try with small steps to change that. You are more likely to forget things if your home is cluttered. Try to keep your important events in a notebook, electronic planner, or calendar. Keep your to-do lists up to date.
Find Out More Advice For Your Memory Loss
Rest is one of the most crucial things in your life. Of course, if you are not getting enough sleep, your memory will be affected. Make sleep a priority. Meanwhile, adults should sleep 7 to 9 hours a night regularly.
Also, food is a factor in your memory loss. A healthy diet is good for your brain. For example, choose fruits, vegetables, fish, beans, and skinless poultry.
If memory loss influences your ability to do your daily activity, and if you notice that your memory is getting worse, it is important to ask for help from a specialist. Your provider will perform a physical exam and check your memory at the appointment. Treatment differs on what is causing memory loss.
Stay tuned for more information that might help you!

High availability is a key requirement in mobile communication systems, especially, when it is used for mission-critical services such as public safety e.g. police, ambulance and fire services. A failure in the fixed network infrastructure that provides services to mobile users can affect a large number of users and risk loss of lives. The fixed infrastructure of mobile communication system has different characteristics, for example, architecture ´complexity, real-time peer-topeer communication and performance requirements that make the already existing failure recovery techniques, such as those using rollback or replication techniques inapplicable. This dissertation presents a novel failure recovery approach based on a behavioral model of the communication protocols. The new recovery method is able to deal with software and hardware faults and is particularly suitable for mobile communications infrastructure. The method enables the faulty applications in the infrastructure to quickly and effectively resume their services to their mobile clients with no or minimal loss of work after failure. In our approach, we do not assume a specific fault behavior for example failstop or transient behavior as it is the case for many recovery techniques. In addition, the method does not require any modification to mobile clients. The Communicating Extended Finite State Machine (CEFSM) is used to model the behavior of the infrastructure applications. The model based recovery scheme is integrated in the application and uses the client/server model to save the application state information during failure-free execution on a stable storage and retrieve them when needed during recovery. When and what information to be saved/retrieved is determined by the behavioral model of the application. To practically evaluate and demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we developed as a case study an experimental testbed for the TETRA (TErrestrial Trunked Radio) packet data network. The testbed works as a distributed system and can run various communication scenarios between the fixed network infrastructure and its mobile users. We thoroughly followed the TETRA standard specifications in our implementation of the communication protocols in order to get a testbed system that operates as the real system with respect to message exchange and timing. The experimental results showed that by using our method the faulty infrastructure application can immediately resume its service after its restart and in less than a minute, it restores its service performance level prior to the failure. The failure-free overhead incurred by the method is relatively low, and is experimentally found to be less than 5% in the conducted experiments.

If you like the idea of making use of the space the garage offers to enlarge your home, being aware of garage conversion costs is crucial.
Converting a garage is an easy way to add extra living space, but the garage might also be transformed into a room such as the home office you need, a guest bedroom and bathroom, a separate space for hobbies, or for entertaining, or it could bring you a larger kitchen.
But as with any home improvement project, when you’re turning a garage into a part of your home, it’s important to know what each element of the process costs so you can draw up a budget, and we’ve put together all the details here along with expert advice.
Garage conversion costs
Garage conversion costs will be influenced by the size of the garage, but also by what you want to use the space for with living spaces generally less expensive than kitchens or bathroom remodel costs, for example. But whatever you choose to do with the garage, the project should save money when compared to the cost of building an addition to your home.
‘On average, it costs $14,000 to convert a garage into a living space,’ says Rachel Zepernick, interior home expert at Angi. ‘If you’re thinking about converting your garage, you can expect to pay somewhere between $6,000 and $23,000, depending on the size of the garage, the materials you use and the type of room you’re creating.’
What are garage conversion costs per square foot?
What your garage conversion costs are on average per square foot depends on the type of garage you have: it’s a one car or two-car garage that’s being turned into a part of your home.
‘On average, it costs around $60 per square foot to fully finish a one-car garage and $85 per square foot to fully finish a two-car garage,’ says Rachel. ‘This includes the cost of materials, like flooring, windows and insulation, as well as labor and costs, and electrical, plumbing and HVAC hookups.’
Factors that influence garage conversion costs
As we’ve seen, garage conversion costs can vary quite widely, and there are a number of elements, including garage insulation, that play into what the final bill will be.
‘Materials are one of the most important cost factors when converting your garage into a living space,’ explains Rachel. ‘You’ll likely need to insulate the space, depending on how you plan to use it, which costs about $1 per square foot. You may also need flooring, which can cost anywhere from $5 to $15 or more per square foot.
‘Depending on the space, you may want to install windows, which usually cost $1,000 each. Don’t forget about any new furniture you’ll need to make the space livable. The quality of the materials you choose for each of these components will have a big impact on the total conversion cost.’
Budget for the input of the professionals you employ, too. ‘You should also consider labor costs when determining the cost of your garage conversion,’ advises Rachel. ‘You can expect to spend 15 to 20 per cent of the total project cost on labor but talk to some pros and gather actual quotes for a more accurate estimate.’
Don’t forget to consider any permit required when drawing up a budget. ‘You might need a permit to convert your garage into a living space, so budget around $1,000 for the conversion permit,’ says Rachel. ‘Permit costs vary by location and project, so check with your local pros and permitting offices to make sure you have an accurate estimate.’
Electrics, plumbing and HVAC
Build the costs for electrics, plumbing and HVAC into your budget; some will be influenced by how the extra space is going to be used. ‘You should budget around $400 for electrical hookups and $1,100 if you need to add plumbing to the space,’ say Rachel. ‘You’ll also probably want to add vents to take advantage of your home’s HVAC system, which will cost around $1,250.’
Cost of garage conversion interiors
The type of room you are creating will have a large influence on what you’ll pay in total for converting a garage because of the features the particular room will need.
‘If you’re aiming for a home office, you can expect to pay about $5,000,’ says Rachel.
‘To convert your garage into a bedroom, you’ll likely end up paying between $15,000 and $25,000, depending on whether you want to add a bathroom to the new bedroom.
‘If you want to convert the entire space into a bathroom, you could end up paying anywhere between $3,000 and $25,000, depending on how many features you want to add.
‘You can also transform your garage into a kitchen, which tends to start around $6,000 but can go up to $50,000 or more.
‘If you plan on having a lot of guests in your home, you can convert your garage into a guest house for an average of $22,000.
‘You can also transform the space into a utility room for about $6,000 or an entertaining area for around $7,500.’
Ways to save on a garage conversion
There are ways to spend less on converting a garage while still ending up with a good design for the new space.
‘You can easily save money on your garage conversion by choosing affordable materials,’ advises Rachel. ‘For example, you can save around $9 per square foot by opting for vinyl flooring instead of hardwood floors.
‘Depending on the type of room you’re converting to, you can save money by omitting windows or using less expensive HVAC systems like window units or space heaters.
‘Talk to your pro about your vision and your budget, and they can help you come up with a design that meets your expectations without breaking the bank,’ she recommends.
How much does it cost to convert a 2-car garage?
To convert a two-car garage, expect to pay around $85 per square foot to fully finish the room. Bear in mind that a number of factors play into how much you’ll pay, especially the type of room you are creating. Less expensive options include turning it into a home office, utility room or entertaining area, while transforming a garage into a high-end kitchen or a guest house can be the most expensive options.
Does converting your garage devalue your home?
A garage conversion typically won’t make your home worth less. ‘Converting your garage into a living space usually adds value to your home,’ explains Rachel. ‘People tend to value the amount of a home’s livable space, so converting your garage can actually get you an ROI of about 80 per cent on the project.’

Economic Impacts of the Proposed City of Los Angeles Transfer Tax for Housing and Homelessness
As part of its ongoing mission to identify and analyze policies driving up the cost of living and impacting the state’s business climate, the Center for Jobs and the Economy undertook an in-depth analysis of the City of Los Angeles Funding for Affordable Housing and Tenant Assistance Programs Through a Special Tax on Real Property Transfers Over $5 Million, Initiative Ordinance (Transfer Tax)
Largest Tax Increase in the City’s History
- At an estimated $860 million per year, the proposed transfer tax would become the City’s second largest tax source, behind only the general property tax.
- The measure would result in a 27.3% increase in property taxes and a 14.0% increase in total taxes charged by the City.
68% Of the Tax Would Be Paid By Rental Properties and Businesses
- Single family residences on average would pay only 28% of the proposed tax.
- Multifamily residences (rental properties) would pay about 25% of the proposed tax.
- Business properties (commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational and agricultural) would pay the largest share at 43%.
- The resulting price pressures from the tax increase would likely produce rent increases on both households and businesses of 5.5% to 8.0%.
Increases Housing Supply By Only 640 Affordable Units Per Year
- At the current unit cost, the estimated $430 million for new tax for housing would be sufficient to increase annual financing of affordable housing by only a net 640 units per year, or by an amount equivalent to a 0.04% increase in the City’s housing supply.
- Using the average household size, this housing would accommodate only1,700 persons. This level would cover only 4% of the 41,290 homeless individuals identified in the 2020 surveys, or at a level that would not even maintain pace with the annual increase in the number of homeless.
More Than 4,000 Jobs Lost Within the County of Los Angeles
- Within Los Angeles County, the transfer tax would lead to a reduction in 4,000 direct and indirect jobs as business and rental properties pay the tax.
- There are also uncertain effects on the estimated 33,100 direct and indirect jobs created by business and rental development annual investments in the City of Los Angeles near the threshold levels of this measure. Not all of these jobs would be eliminated, but just as likely would be shifted outside the City of Los Angeles, as development projects become more expensive compared to investment opportunities in adjacent areas.
- The transfer tax will lead to an increase of 2,900 direct and indirect jobs from the annual expenditure for construction and support of nonprofit groups. About two-thirds of those jobs, however, would only be created as new construction begins, which could be delayed by as much as 5-6 years from funds awarded, if Prop HHH experience is a guide.

Now more than ever we need to make our presence and concern known at PR Springs. We will witness the fractured wilderness and protect every inch we can because our air, water, land and all life cannot survive this poisonous project!
Come and join us.
April 12-15th. Get details.
Car pool caravan camp out to the first proposed Tar Sand strip mine in the United States – here in Utah. Here is a MAP showing the ROUTE:
We will camp in the BLM camp ground near PR Springs located near the PR Spring Tar Sand Strip Mine Test Pit.
From Salt Lake City we travel east on US 40 past Roosevelt and then south to the beautiful Book Cliffs, site of the proposed PR Springs tar sands strip mine. We explore the areas that have been bulldozed and photograph areas where test drilling has begun. We will explore and document this vibrant wilderness area in order to gain respect and understanding of the lands our government is bent on exploiting. We will be noting the progress from last year and current activity at the test pit.
This particular land is administered by SITLA and has been leased to a Canadian company to mine for Tar sands. Their is a near by camp ground called PR Springs on BLM land with a historic SPRING (plenty of potable water!).
We will also spend time as a group teaching each other about the issues with tar sands and other fossil fuel extraction in remote wilderness areas. We are continuing to build support to stop this mine from ever getting started. Also we will be relaxing and enjoying the High desert of eastern Utah.

Just look at the results published at Elections Ontario. The Progressive Conservatives received 40.49 % of the vote. But they won a large majority of the seats 76 out of 124 or 61 % of the seats. The second place left of centre NDP won 33.57 % of the vote only 7 % points less than the Conservatives but won 36 fewer seats or 32 % of the seats. Even worse the defeated Liberals won 19.5 % of the vote but only 7 seats or 5.6 % of the seats. The Greens won only one seat but received 5 % of the vote. If it were a proportional voting system the results would have been much closer. Conservatives 50 seats, NDP 42 seats, Liberals 24 seats, Greens 6 seats, other 2 seats. The huge discrepancy is striking . The proportional outcome reveals the true nature of divided opinion in the Ontario electorate and the closeness of the race. As it stands the party that will govern with a strong unearned majority represents the 2.322 million voters who voted for it. But a total of 1.926 million voters voted for the NDP, 1.124 million voted for the Liberals and .263 million voted Green for a total of 3.313 million who voted for the three principal centre centre left parties. Once again a minority will impose its will on a majority for the next four years. Electoral reform is long overdue.


If current U.S. trends continue, more than 57 percent of today’s youth will be obese at age 35, according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The research also found that excess weight in childhood is predictive of adult obesity, even among young children, and that healthy-weight children are the only ones with less than a 50 percent chance of adult obesity. The findings were based on a rigorous simulation model that provides the most accurate predictions to date of obesity prevalence at various ages. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
“Adult obesity is linked with increased risk of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer,” said Zachary Ward, an analyst at Harvard Chan School’s Center for Health Decision Science and lead author of the study. “Our findings highlight the importance of prevention efforts for all children as they grow up, and of providing early interventions for children with obesity to minimize their risk of serious illness in the future.”
The researchers used new computational methods and a novel statistical approach to account for long-term population-level trends in weight gain. They pooled height and weight data from five longitudinal studies of 41,567 children and adults. Using these data, they created 1,000 virtual populations of 1 million youth up to age 19 who were representative of the 2016 U.S. population. They then projected height and weight trajectories from childhood to age 35.
The results showed that obesity will be a significant problem for most American children as they grow older. Of those predicted to have obesity as adults, half will develop it as children, according to the study simulations. Excess weight gained during childhood can set off a trajectory that is difficult to change, the authors said. For example, the study found that of all obese 2-year-olds, three out of four will still be obese at age 35. For children with severe obesity — a condition that currently affects 4.5 million children in the U.S. — the risks are even greater. At age 2, these children have only a one in five chance of not having obesity at age 35; at age 5, that chance drops to just one in 10.
Even children who are not obese face a high risk of adult obesity. The study estimated that for youth ages 2-19 in 2016, more than half will be obese at age 35 — though most currently are not.
The study also found that racial and ethnic disparities in obesity are already present at age 2 and persist into adulthood, with non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics more likely to be obese than whites.
Given the high risk posed to children, senior author Steven Gortmaker, a professor of the practice of health sociology at Harvard Chan School, said, “It is critically important to implement policies and programs to prevent excess weight gain, starting at an early age. Plenty of cost-effective strategies have been identified that promote healthy foods, beverages, and physical activity within school and community settings.”

One of the most striking things about the congressional discourse about the Iran talks had been the overwrought denunciations of diplomacy by Republicans. You don’t have to look hard. Mark Kirk, the Illinois senator, takes every chance to compare diplomacy with Iran to the Munich agreement that handed the Sudetenland over to Hitler. He recently said the framework agreement announced this month was worse than Munich—and that it would lead inevitably to an Israeli attack on Iran and/or nuclear war (it’s unclear how, if Israel has the means to stop Iran’s nuclear program, there would still be nuclear war, but never mind).
Not to be outdone, the pugnacious and history-challenged freshman Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said that comparing Obama to Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister who inked the Munich agreement, was too hard on Chamberlain (Cotton also said a deal would lead to nuclear war in the Middle East). It might be easy to dismiss these sorts of statements as the actions of a few isolated politicians, but then you remember that 46 of Cotton’s Republican Senate colleagues signed onto his foolish letter to the Iranian leadership.
So how is it that the administration ended up striking a deal to give Congress a say on the nuclear accord being negotiated with Tehran? Doesn’t this amount, in effect, to congressional Republicans appeasing Neville Chamberlain? After all, the revisions to the Corker-Menendez bill arose out of a compromise—exactly the notion congressional hawks seem not to understand about the talks with Iran themselves. Neither side got exactly what it wanted, but both sides got something they could support. While Congress got their demand that it be given some say on a final nuke deal, the administration, as Yishai Schwartz pointed out, got several poison pills in the original bill either removed or softened and gained legitimacy for its push to limit Congress’s role.
As the details emerged, the administration said that it wasn’t “particularly thrilled“ with the Senate compromise, but that it could live with the results. And indeed the deal poses some risks. For example, the bill retains a provision that bars Obama from waiving sanctions during a congressional review period, though that period was reduced from 60 to a maximum of 52 days. Proponents of the bill have insisted that the waiver ban won’t affect ongoing negotiations, but it almost certainly will because it will delay the kind of early sanctions relief that Tehran has made its top priority. Ironically, such a delay may actually strengthen Iran’s hand in the upcoming talks, as U.S. negotiators may now be expected by both Tehran and Washington’s P5+1 partners to give something in return.
However, we’re not out of the proverbial woods just yet. Congress is surely going to try to meddle in other ways. The silly season is after all already in full swing. One GOP presidential candidate, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), held off on introducing an amendment to require Iran to recognize Israel in a final deal but suggested he might bring it up when the bill reaches the floor. And other Republican lawmakers have likewise said that they’re not done trying to kill diplomacy.
Perhaps the most comic statement to come out of a Republican in the past few days emerged from House Speaker John Boehner. After returning from the Middle East, Boehner said the framework agreement was a “deal with the devil.” The devil! More hilariously, Boehner pushed back on the notion that he was warmongering by saying that there was indeed an agreement with Iran that would be good enough for him. Got that? You can make a deal with the pure embodiment of evil, but it just has to be a good enough deal.
If that’s the kind of opposition a deal with Iran will face in Congress, what hope is there? Well, there is some. For one, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has vowed to keep her caucus together to defend a final agreement, and she only needs to keep 145 of her Democrats on board—the one-third-plus-one threshold that’s necessary, under the bill as approved by the Foreign Relations Committee, to sustain a presidential veto of any deal-killing measure. In the Senate, that looks to be a taller order, but keeping 34 Democrats in check could still work.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the crowning achievement of this compromise for the Obama administration: it has positioned itself to keep Congress from scuttling an Iran deal so long as it can keep one-third-plus-one votes in either chamber in line. That may, in the end, may make all the difference. But the Corker-Menendez bill still needs to get through both full houses unscathed for that to happen. Whether Republicans can honor their committee leadership’s Munich-like compromise with evil remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more drama.

The new mobile operator has been launched in UK. Blyk is free mobile operator for European users. It is free to use because the service is funded by advertising. They are launching in the UK-market in mid-2007. Other European countries will have their service later.
The concept of the Blyk is announced to be new, but in my opinion this isn't true. The concept of having free calls and SMS, if you accept to receive commercial ads, was already established in the end of 1990s. The problem then was that back then the technology wasn't mature enough. Now, these problems have been overcomed; it is possible to gather enough information from the target audience. This is where the second condition of the free service appears; you have to continuosly maintain the profile of yourself. In short, this kind of concept is not new, it is only enhanced one. The future will show us whether it disappears from the market or not! At this point, Blyk's future seems bright: it has gained lots of attention from the press worldwide.

A joint study session of the Costa Mesa City Council and Planning Commission on Tuesday will address regulation of future housing developments in the city.
The small-lot subdivision ordinance would help standardize new tracts of detached, single-family homes built on small lots, according to a city staff report.
Developers wanting to build on small lots have needed variances or deviations from the city's standards.
The study session, which begins at 4:30 p.m. in Conference Room 1A at City Hall, will consider input on proposed changes to the city's zoning code. City staff are not asking for changes to the parking standards.
Benefits of a small-lot subdivision ordinance include creating a type of new housing that's seen as preferable to condominiums and apartment complexes, according to city staff. The subdivisions also would not require homeowners associations.
An example of such a project is a housing subdivision in the Eastside, along Tustin Avenue. The 14 homes for the East Haven project are replacing two older homes, which have been demolished, on a 1.24-acre plot.

OSHAWA -- With average temperatures this winter hovering around a mild -1 C and reaching a breaking 13 C on Saturday, it's hard to believe Oshawa Fire Services get any ice rescue training in. However, warm winter temperatures do not mean firefighters are given a break. They must be prepared for any type of rescue and weather condition. Instead of ice-water training, open-water rescue scenarios were conducted last week at Lakeview Park.
Firefighters were equipped with ocean commander immersion suits that kept them warm, dry and buoyant when in the water. Life jackets were buckled up and rope was tied onto the firefighters as they jumped into the Oshawa harbour to save the crew's dummy.
"It's fun getting out there. The water was a little cold, it's the first time we've done it this year," said firefighter Patrick Racine.
In December, firefighters take a NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) certified swim test at Donevan Recreation Complex. It consists of eight lengths of the pool, four with a life jacket and four without. The firefighters are then asked to complete a 15-minute tread. If they pass the test, they are able to move on to the practical evolutions which are done in January and February at Lakeview Park.
"It's a little bit of work getting out there. We never know how far the victim is going to be out from shore. It requires a bit of swimming... it takes quite a bit of exertion getting out there."
It was Mr. Racine's fourth time participating in this type of scenario training.
"We treat it like the real thing. If we ever really had to go out and do this, it would run basically how we did it today," Mr. Racine said. "It requires a lot of teamwork."
There are different positions that go along with open-water rescue training. One firefighter does the swimming component to save the victim, while there is a back-up team for extra safety and a firefighter pulling in line. Mr. Racine says the repetition of it all helps him perform better.
The firefighters are re-certified every year.
"Obviously with our mild winters, there isn't much ice but we still have to practise water evolutions. So when the ice comes, hopefully in February, we will get back out with the crew and do the ice portions of it," said Scott Wood, training officer of Oshawa Fire Services.
As the training officer, Mr. Wood decides what type of training the firefighters need. Oshawa Fire Services uses the OFM (Ontario Fire Marshal's Curriculum) for firefighter training on an annual basis. According to Mr. Wood, training is always evolving. His job is to ensure firefighters are also updated when it comes to specialty rescue training.
"We are always mixing it up so we don't exactly follow the same pattern. Next month they don't have a clue what's coming at them until we put it on the schedule."
Call volumes have dropped in the past little while, but Oshawa Fire Services continue to step up its training.
As the firefighters were setting up their yellow inflatable raft, they were called to a kitchen fire on Ritson Road. They dropped everything and responded immediately. When they arrived, the fire had already been put out. The firefighters got in their truck and headed back to continue training.
"This happens more than you think," said Mr. Wood. "But the guys are prepared for anything at any time."
At this point in time there have been no open-water rescue calls.
"People have been out skating on some of those little retention ponds in the neighbourhood, it's a little bit of a concern with the mild weather but the crews are always ready to respond to these cases."

Asafa suffers memory loss
KINGSTON – Former 100-metre world record holder Asafa Powell says he did not tell a doping control officer about most of the supplements he was taking because they were new to him and he could not remember their names.
Powell, one of Jamaica’s outstanding athletes after lowering the world record in the 100 to 9.74 seconds in 2008, made the disclosure in testimony during a hearing here on Tuesday.
The Jamaican sprinter testified that he listed only three drugs on his declaration form.
“Sir, these were new supplements to me,” declared Powell in response to a question from Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) attorney Lackston Robinson.
“So due to the excitement of the trials, I couldn’t remember.”
Powell has been pleading his case before a three-member JADCO panel after testing positive for the banned stimulant oxilofrone last year.
Powell told the hearing that he received nine supplements from Canadian physical therapist Christopher Xuereb, including Ephiphany D1, which lab tests later found to contain oxilofrone.
The 31-year-old sprinter said he started taking Epiphany D1 capsules and other new supplements after he and a friend researched them for up to six hours online and found no prohibited substances.
“At first, we had no idea what caused the positive test or where it came from,” said Powell who has blamed newly hired physiotherapist Xuereb for the positive test.
“But Chris was the only new thing in my life.”
Xuereb provided the drugs to Powell and former teammate Sherone Simpson, a three-time Olympic medallist – who also tested positive during national trials last June.
Powell told the hearing he knew he was responsible for what he put into his body, but that “in this sport, there are people you have to rely on”, such as coaches and agents.
“Whatever I don’t know, I can go to them,” said Powell, who left his long-time team, MVP Track Club, in September.
Simpson’s disciplinary hearings started last week and were expected to last for two days, but have been adjourned until early February.
It’s not immediately clear if Powell’s hearings will also be extended.

The private sector has done well in remunerating older, re-employed workers, a survey by the National Trades Union Congress has shown.
The survey of more than 100 unionised companies showed that about four in five companies keep the salaries of re-employed workers intact if they are doing the same work as before.
A similar survey conducted by the Ministry of Manpower, which included a larger sample of companies, yielded similar results, said deputy secretary-general of NTUC, Mr Heng Chee How.
Mr Heng added that he has shared the findings of the surveys with the public sector, which uses a formula to implement tiered cuts in pay when a worker is re-employed.
Mr Heng added that he is hopeful the public sector will review its practices to make them more aligned with the broad reality in the private sector.
Mr Heng was addressing an audience on Sunday morning at the annual U Live Symposium organised by NTUC, which features workshops and talks for active seniors.


Event Loop is the low level Event Loop API such as
epoll_wait. All the Async I/O
fds are managed by the Event Loop. The Event Loop is waiting for the
timeout of all the
fds. When an event (or timeout) occurs, the
epoll_wait function finished and return the result. You then can execute the callback function to process the data sending from the Event Loop.
When a large amount of
fds is registed on the Event Loop, and a large number of events are generated at the same time, the corresponding callback functions are executed one by one.
You can use Event Loop API to add event callback function onto the main Event Loop in the process. These are the API to make changes to low level
Before using these API, you have to understand how non-blocking I/O, I/O multiplexing and Event Loop works.
Only non-blocking I/O
fd should be added into the event loop. Blocking IO should not be added into the Event Loop.
It can be used to manage
socket created with
stream/socket APi with the Event Loop.
It is not recommned to use directly within your application.

EMIRATES REACTS TO ADDED COMPETITION, DROPS ADDIS STOP ON ENTEBBE ROUTE
Starting from the 25th of March 2012 will Emirates drop their stop enroute to and from Entebbe in Addis Ababa, giving Ugandans the long awaited nonstop connection. Passengers to and from Uganda had often complained that the stop was wasting their time but it is only now, that Qatar Airways and Gulf Air have brought a new wave of competition into the Ugandan market, that the airline is seemingly responding to these observations and demands.
While Qatar Airways is now flying daily between Doha and Entebbe, this flight will in fact in the last week of March be extended to Kigali, after all traffic rights have been secured, while Gulf Air, which commenced flights between Bahrain and Entebbe, currently flies 4 times a week using an A 319 on the route.
The added competition has eaten into the flight occupancies and even to some extent the cargo loads of the airlines which have in the past been flying to Uganda and as a result did some serious strategizing set in to find ways and means to keep market share by creating competitive advantages, not just over the fares but also with a compatible product, i.e. nonstop flights.
There is now speculation that Emirates may move from the often used B777 to the smaller A340 to cater for the Entebbe only loads and it is equally not known at this moment in time if Emirates will from the 25th of March combine Addis with another destination or else equally begin nonstop flights between Dubai and Ethiopia.
Watch this space.

Sudan: Army frees some abducted Chinese workers
Khartoum: Sudanese officials say that 14 Chinese road workers have been freed by Sudan`s military, two days after they were reportedly abducted by militants in a remote region in the country`s south. The Chinese embassy said that a total of 29 had gone missing.
State-run Radio Omdurman on Monday quoted South Kordofan Governor Ahmed Mohamed Haroun as saying that Sudanese forces "liberated" the workers, who were in good health.
The report, which is also carried by Sudan`s SUNA news agency, says that the Army is searching for the remaining missing workers.
A Chinese embassy spokesman said on Sunday that the northern branch of the Sudan People`s Liberation Movement, a guerrilla force which has fought for decades against Khartoum regimes, had announced that it carried out the abductions.

We are using thought to regulate us instead of awareness.
This is scary for a lot of people. Particularly those in pain or who have been stuck reacting to external stimuli for so long (traffic, your boss, your spouse, your iPhone, blog posts like this one) that they are internally ignorant.
How to Be Less of an Interoceptive Dummy:
So your back hurts. Is thinking about it some more and all the ways it’s “messed up” really going to make it go away? If anything, continuing to think about it in this manner will make you focus on it more.
2) Quit trying so hard.
When you worry about meeting some movement ideal, some expectation (“I gotta hurry up and move right so my pain goes away”) all we get is more stress and more muscle tension.
Give yourself some loose boundaries when it comes to movement – what felt “right” before obviously isn’t working for you, so try something different. But most importantly just move.
3) Establish links.
Isn’t it interesting that when you take a breath in and hold it’s harder to move as smoothly compared to when you breathe out and move? Seriously, try rotating your back when you’ve taken a big breath in vs out. Hmm. Or what happens with your abs when you move your head? Most people have no clue.
But if you can establish a connection between parts of your body, you get out of your own head and stop treating your body like a meat locker.
“The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.”
P.S. Want to know more about pain, what it tells us, and how to reduce it? I will be doing a live 90 minute webinar Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 8pm EDT so mark your calendars. More information to come.

Panerai Luminor copy watches with black calf leather straps have similar cases made of polished steel whose diameters are 44mm. They are driven by OPI calibre, hand-winding mechanical movements which can save 56-hour power. Their devices protecting crowns are made of frosted steel. The hour markers are all black and the hands are luminescent. There are also 12 luminescent markers near the numbers to make sure wearers can read time in the dark.
Panerai replica watches with sapphire-crystal glasses are waterproof of 100m deep. It is very comfortable to wear them. Even though Panerai was professional to handle harsh environments, the fake watches are also suitable for any occasions.
Bell & Ross was established by Carlos Rosillo and Bruno Belamich in 1992. These two founders are french but they decided to make high-level watches in Switzerland. The young men got help from a famous watch-maker Helmut Sinn and designed their first collection. And then they asked Lothar Schmidt for help who was production supervisor of IWC and finally launched their first collection. Fortunately, Bell & Ross gained a great success in 1995.
