In Defense of the Four-Door Coupe

Audi A7 Tail

?

Just about a decade ago, the introduction of the contradictory phrase "four-door coupe" angered me. I distinctly remember testing the Mercedes-Benz CLS at its press launch thinking, "This is a pretty car, but why not just call it a sedan?" I doubted the long-term viability of the genre, but the world's oldest automaker enjoyed the last laugh, as countless imitators have since carved a niche for themselves by building similarly-themed slope-tailed sedans.

?

Last week I tested the $76,000 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe, an attractive (if pricey) alternative to run-of-the-mill Bimmers. But I didn't fully grasp the genre's potential until I borrowed an Audi A7 the following week back at home. The key differentiator? This time, I was able to strap in a baby seat and shuttle my six month-old around town... and in doing so, I didn't feel old. The Audi seemed strangely sleek for its size, and the surprising steering feel and transient handling response actually made this 4,210 lb four-door fun to drive.

?

If that's not a great excuse to buy into the silliness of an oxymoronic marketing phrase, I don't know what is.

Finding the right Kind of Concrete Sealer to shield Your Wall ...

Concrete is a stable construction component, but still vulnerable to degeneration. The use of concrete sealers will let you preserve your property and protect it from decay.

Many people have used concrete to make large structures from the time of ancient Romans. Even with its toughness, concrete is still susceptible to corrosion and deterioration. Ask your Calgary concrete company to apply a concrete sealer if you would like protect your property.

Based on studies carried out by the National Ready Mix Concrete Association, Portland Cement Association, and the American Concrete Institute, almost all destruction of concrete relates to moisture absorption. Sealers either clog up the concrete?s tiny holes to help reduce the absorption of water as well as other substances, or form an outer layer that helps prevent these substances from getting through. Below are a few kinds of sealers your Calgary concrete provider may apply to your building.

Wax Sealers

Wax sealers are non permanent alternatives for many who cannot afford to cover their building with more high priced sealers yet. These sealers are inexpensive, but last only about nine to twelve months.

Capillary or Silicate Sealer

This kind of sealer is the most widely used, especially for cellar walls. It binds with concrete below the surface area after use, filling the concrete?s pores and stopping moisture infiltration. In addition, it boosts the concrete?s capacity to resist heavy weight and pressure by up to 40%. It dries clear and might be painted over, so you don?t need to worry about it spoiling your building. Just one use of capillary sealer will last a very long time.

Polyester Sealers

These types of rapid-drying sealers function just like capillary sealers, infiltrating the deeper layers of concrete to fill its pores to stop moisture absorption. They don?t completely cease the infiltration of vapour and gas, however, and need recoating every year.

Latex-based Paint

Latex-based paint can be used as a concrete sealer, but is almost exclusively utilized for cellar wall surfaces. While it does keep moisture away to some extent, it?s susceptible to peeling or cracking. This sealer needs recoating every year, or more often based on how much moisture and vapour the paint is in contact with.

Silane/Siloxane Sealers

This clear, water-based sealer is commonly used for concrete and dense masonry surfaces like stucco and stone. The principal trouble with this type of sealer is it wears off and discolours very easily when subjected to excessive ultraviolet (UV) light and it can?t be repainted. In addition, it calls for annual reapplication.

Acrylic Sealers

This kind of sealer is perfect for exterior surfaces consistently subjected to natural light because it?s protected from UV damage. It looks glossy when it dries, which makes it perfect for beautifying colorful or decorative walls. The toxicity levels of acrylic sealers lead to some concern among property and building owners, however, many Calgary concrete providers offer you water-based acrylic sealers, which are a lot less toxic than regular solvent-based ones.

Selecting the right sort of concrete sealer for your building or house is critical if you?d like to make it tougher while still maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Check with your designer or contractor to find out what sort of sealer you must apply to your wall surfaces.

Music For Motivation


Would you like to pop in a CD and have a better quality of life, and even self improvement? There are three ways you can use music to accomplish this.

Music For Motivation

Put on energetic music, and even doing housework seems less like work. Using music to motivate yourself or change your mood is an area where you can trust your experience and experimentation. When you find the msic that energizes you, relaxes you, or makes you happy, keep it ready for when you need it.

Music For Intelligence

Music creates neural pathways in your brain that stimulate creativity. Studies show that music trains the brain for higher forms of thinking. In one study, three-year-olds were split into two groups. The first had no special training in, or exposure to music. The second group studied piano and sang daily in chorus.

Eight months later the musical three-year-olds were much better at solving puzzles.

They also scored 80% higher in spatial intelligence than the other group. There's also anectdotal evidence that listening to music, especially from Mozart's era, can help you study and learn better.

Hopefully there will be more research. In the meantime there's no reason not to do your own experimentation. I've heard that Stephen King writes with loud rock music playing, so the benefits of music may be according to your own tastes or brain-organization.

Music For Brainwave Entrainment

Want to listen to some music, and get smarter, or have instant easy meditation? There are products now that "entrain" your brainwaves, in order to put you in a meditative state. Music is embedded with beats and pulses that entrain your brain waves to a specific frequency. Put in the right CD or MP3 for your activity, and you get better brain function. Science? Partly.

Brain wave frequencies vary with mental state. Daydreaming and light meditation take place in the "Alpha" range of frequencies, for example. So if you listen to music containing beats at a frequency of 10 Hz you will generate more brainwaves at a 10 Hz frequency and enter a relaxed Alpha mental state. Do these things really work?

Yes. I've found two products that put me in a peaceful state unlike any other music or meditative practice. Studies will prove the effects (some have already), and disprove the wilder claims. Given my results, however, I wouldn't wait for more research. Many things work long before the scientific proof arrives.

If you are skeptical, you can wait for more evidence of the benefits of brainwave entrainment. Meanwhile, why not try classical music when you study, just to see if it helps? Experiment with music - Mozart isn't dangerous.

Want to find out how to listen to all your favorite songs whenever you want? If so, you?ll want to learn more about music software and how you can install some programs onto your computer. Here are some descriptions of some basic music software programs you will want to learn more about:

CD Ripper

A CD Ripper program allows you to convert tracks from a compact disc to your mp3 player, or onto your computer. You can make your own mp3s from audio CDs, so that you make your own song selections. You can also convert batches of WAV decoded files at a time to mp3 files on the CD Ripper, and if you want to download this program onto your computer, you?ll need to have Microsoft Windows 95, 98, or 2000, and a CD-ROM drive. For most CD Ripper programs, you can try a free download first before purchasing the product.

Audio Editors

If you are into recording and creating your own music, an audio editor program may be a good investment. An audio editor program allows you to save your own studio sessions or songs to modify later. Most include a metronome (to keep music and vocals in rhythm) and an audio mixer. The mixer allows you to adjust different music track settings like tone, pitch or volume. On some programs you can even ?beat match? between tracks, thus allowing for a smoother transition between songs. One audio editing program you may want to try is Blaze Media Pro, a program which is also a CD burner and converter. And, if you?re recording a large file, most audio editors will be able to support your files with no problem at all. If you are using a multi-track editor, one thing to keep in mind is whether your sound card and memory capabilities are up to the task of handling large volumes of songs,.

Although most audio editor programs are commercial (and not freeware) and have a standard price tag, you can receive free trials for audio editor programs as well. Be aware of the memory and sound card requirements as designated by the company who produces the software. Depending on who makes the software, it may be available for Windows XP, Windows 98, ME, 2000 and even Mac OSX.

Nations Lending Streamlines VA Home Loan Program and IRRRL ...


Independence, OH (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

Nations Lending Corporation (NLC) is a qualified VA lender that originates, closes and funds VA mortgage loans in over 40 states. Nations Lending Corporation, founded in 2003, supplies home financing to veterans who want to refinance or purchase a home, manufactured home or a residential cooperative housing unit. In early 2012, NLC completed work to automate most aspects of their loan origination process by implementing new advancements in their loan origination software.

Throughout 2011, NLC focused on leveraging their technology infrastructure and integrating new web-based technologies. As a result, the time required to originate, process, close and fund VA mortgages, such as VA streamline refinance home loans has been drastically reduced. Eligible veterans, service members, certain unmarried surviving spouses, active duty personnel, reservists and National Guard members are now benefiting from streamlined VA loan and Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan application, approval and closing methodologies.

The Cleveland, Ohio based residential mortgage banking company is reducing the complexity that veterans encounter when purchasing a home with no money down, complying with VA cash out refinance guidelines, requesting a VA Streamline Refinance and calculating VA funding fees. Licensed mortgage bankers concisely explain VA home loan qualifications and quickly calculate VA home loan and IRRRL mortgage rates for veterans over the phone.

U.S. veterans can call Nations Lending Corporation at 866-447-0266 to check on their eligibility for the VA Home Loan Program and to apply for a VA home loan or IRRRL. By upgrading their best-in-class IT infrastructure, the business has enhanced their ability to quickly determine a veteran?s eligibility, approve, close, underwrite and fund VA home loans and IRRRLs.

Veterans are often exempt from VA funding fees if they receive VA disability compensation. The Cleveland, Ohio based VA lender uses an online Veterans Information Portal (VIP) to streamline the VA home loan process. While talking with a veteran on the phone, licensed mortgage bankers at NLC use this portal to check a disabled veteran?s qualifications to have the VA loan funding fee waived.

In the past, veterans who wanted to determine their eligibility for VA loans applied for a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) by mail using the VA Form 26-1880. Now veterans can call Nations Lending Corporation at 866-447-0266 to request that the lender submit an application online on their behalf. NLC has simplified the process of establishing a veteran?s eligibility to obtain a VA Home Loan by integrating the VA?s Internet-based application, called the Web LGY system, into their loan application and approval procedures.

Since April 14, 2010, when the Department of Veterans Affairs approved Nations Lending Corporations status as a VA Automatic Lender, the company has cut down the time required to close a VA home loan or VA streamline loan. By using a standardized 1003 form and industry leading technologies, the firm has streamlined the processing procedures for VA loan applications and cash-out refinancing loans for active military personnel and armed services veterans.

The mortgage bankers at Nations Lending Corporation have received extensive training in the military service requirements for VA loan eligibility in order to reduce the time required to determine a veteran?s eligibility, shorten the loan application process, facilitate the company?s ability to efficiently close VA home loans and provide industry leading customer service. The VA lender regularly conducts continuing education classes for it?s licensed mortgage bankers so that they efficiently comply with VA income and credit standards.

Nations Lending Corporation offers VA guaranteed home loans with a variety of interest rate options. These options include an adjustable-rate mortgage with an interest rate that changes after the initial fixed-rate period (hybrid ARM) or fixed-rate loans. Veterans save money because VA loans do not require because private mortgage insurance. William L. Osborne Jr., the company C.F.O, was quoted recently, ?VA cash-out loans and IRRRLs are popular with veterans because they allow the homeowner to borrow more money with less equity and they don?t pay a monthly mortgage insurance fee.?

In the case of Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loans (IRRRLs), the Department of Veterans Affairs does not require Nations Lending to get an appraisal. Bankers at NLC have the expertise to roll VA funding fees, paid to the VA, into the loan amount. This option slightly increases a veteran?s monthly payment but eliminates the need for a veteran to pay the charge upfront in cash.

Documentation requirements for borrowers are less restrictive for VA IRRRL loans than with other loan programs. Nations Lending Corporation does not require a veteran to provide a certificate of eligibility (CEO) when applying for a VA IRRRL. When determining whether or not a veteran will pay a funding fee, NLC can use the VA?s e-mail confirmation procedure for interest rate reduction refinance loans, referred to as a ?Streamline? or a ?VA to VA.?

NLC is a VA lender that allows military and veteran homeowners to obtain mortgage loans up to 100% of the appraised value of the home. Veterans who have equity in their homes can take cash out of their home up to 95% (LTV) to pay off credit cards, other installment loans, home equity lines of credit, revolving debt or to take a vacation. These loan-to-values (LTV) allow eligible veterans to improve their family?s financial situation.

Nations Lending Corporation is a growing national mortgage lender specializing in lowering mortgage payments and reducing loan terms for homeowners through the VA home loan program and the HARP program (Home Affordable Refinance Program). The company?s success in the real estate finance industry inspired the firm to move their headquarters into a larger, state-of-the-art office corporate campus in Independence, Ohio in late 2011.

In 2012, NLC management launched a new Retail Mortgage Branch Program (RMBP) and the firm continues to open new retail mortgage branches across the United States. The financial institution is offering VA home loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs through direct-to-consumer channels and its retail mortgage branches located across the United States.

The company is recommending that veterans who want to refinance their home or purchase a home, take advantage of the federal benefits provided to veterans, dependents and survivors through VA home loan guaranties. Veterans should call 866-447-0266 to talk to a mortgage banker licensed in their state to discuss loan options, interest rates and to apply for a VA loan or IRRRL.

MTV Movie Awards' Best Kiss Must Be 'Powerful,' Robin Thicke Says

'You have to build up the tension, because the kiss is the release,' crooner tells MTV News.
By Fallon Prinzivalli

The Best Kiss award at the MTV Movie Awards is arguably the fans' favorite category to vote on.

For the past three years in a row, the honor has been bestowed upon "Twilight" co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart for their smooches as Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. This year, they're up against some hefty competition: Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in "Crazy, Stupid, Love," Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum in "The Vow" and, their biggest opponents, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson in "The Hunger Games." While the winner is anybody's guess, we're wondering which couple deserves the award.

There's no one better to answer our question than Robin Thicke, who's managed to croon his way into the hearts of many ladies. The musician tells MTV News that the Best Kiss award should go to the most "powerful" smooch.

"You have to build up the tension, because the kiss is the release," the "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" singer said. "The kiss is the moment when the strings come in, and all of the danger and the anger and the frustration and the loss — the kiss becomes redemption. It takes you out of purgatory and into the gates of heaven. A kiss has to be that powerful, in my opinion."

If fans honor Thicke's definition when they vote, it sounds like Hutcheron and Lawrence could take home the coveted golden popcorn. Their characters, Katniss and Peeta, are in danger while they're stuck in a cave, she could lose him if he dies from his injuries, and he's frustrated and angry that she wants to head into the bloodbath of the Cornucopia to save him. With a single kiss, all that tension is released. Sounds like they're a shoe-in, right?

You decide! The power is in your hands. Vote now through Saturday, June 1, at MovieAwards.MTV.com, and stay tuned for more Movie Awards coverage right here on MTV News!

Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for your favorite flicks now! The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET.

Coach Washed Canvas Beach Tote

May 27, 2012 ? | ?

One of the reasons why you should be checking out the new Coach boutique at Wisma Atria (besides the fact that it?s the biggest one in South-East Asia), is this, the Coach Washed Canvas Beach Tote. As you may have guessed by now, it?s made up almost entirely of washed canvas, which means it has already been roughed up for you.

Measuring 38 cm by 40 cm, it is also generously sized, with handles bound in leather, a removable shoulder strap and a zip slot pocket on the inside, all of which should sway you in its favour.?Great for weekend getaways, the beach/pool or even as a gym bag, it?s rugged enough to be hardy, yet pretty enough with its dual colours well-balanced.

Retailing for SGD770 in Singapore (which I do think is a fair price to pay for something like this), it?s available in 4 different colour combinations, with the one in Grey/Orange being my personal favourite.

What do you think?

Knesset panel discusses UK as 'anti-Israel hub'

By Joseph Millis - Thursday 24th May 2012

Israel's Prime Minister should appoint a special adviser on how Jerusalem's policies affect world Jewry, a Knesset sub-committee heard this week.

The sub-committee on diaspora affairs, chaired by Atzmaut MK Dr Einat Wilf, was hearing evidence from British Jewish leaders on the state of Israel advocacy in the UK.
Among those representing British Jewry were Jewish Leadership Council chair Mick Davis, who suggested appointing the adviser, its CEO Jeremy Newmark, UJIA's Doug Krikler and Bicom director Dermot Kehoe.

The meeting, on Tuesday, was convened because of the perception that Britain was "a hub of anti-Israel activity".

Originally, the meeting had been entitled: "UK World Leader in Anti-Israel Rhetoric".
However, after concerns from the British attendees that this title sensationalised the situation, Wilf agreed to tone it down to a debate on "Zionism in Britain".

Newmark told the Jewish News: "Mick Davis reaffirmed our commitment to fighting delegitimisation. He made it clear that some of the delegitimisation is home-grown and some is imported into Britain from other hubs. He said that every hub had to have people to counter the delegitimisation. Dr Wilf said she would recommend to the PMO that it appoint a special senior adviser to assess the impact of Israeli policies on world Jewry."

This echoed comments Davis made last year, when he said: "I think the government of Israel has to recognise that their actions directly impact me as a Jew living in London, the UK and the impact on me is as significant as it is on Jews living in Israel."

Wilf told the Jewish News: "We heard some very interesting views. I particularly like the idea that anything we learn about fighting delegitimisation in Britain can be transferred to other hubs of anti-Israel activity. We have to make sure our voice is heard in Britain and elsewhere.

"Britain is a huge media and political hub and a lot that goes on there later takes place elsewhere. If we do well in Britain, we will do well in other countries, too. My impression is that British Jewry is a vital and dynamic community and that anti-Israel rhetoric is a serious problem. But we don't have to blow it out of proportion."

She added that at a later date, British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould would make his own presentation to the sub-committee, where he would display that, in fact, Israel's standing in the UK had never been better.

Kehoe, who presented several poll findings about Israel's standing in the UK, told the Jewish News: "It was extremely important for Bicom to take the opportunity to bring its expertise on the Britain-Israel relationship, and on British public opinion towards Israel, to a Knesset forum. There are challenges to Israel's standing in the UK which we take seriously. We are robustly responding at both elite and grassroots levels."

Kehoe made it clear that "there is an issue and it is very worrying. But put into context, there's another story".

RIM may cut 2,000-plus jobs within two weeks

RIM's current chief Thorsten Heins has had to make some tough decisions in the first few months of his tenure -- and he could be making some particularly difficult choices about trimming the rank and file within the next two weeks. Assuming we take the claims of several contacts for Canada's The Globe and Mail at face value, "at least" 2,000 jobs are being cut on or before June 1st. The numbers could climb higher at that: Reuters is bracing for as many as 6,000 layoffs, and has described an unhappy routine of "Goodbye Thursdays" where more recent hires are let go. RIM has turned down comment on what it calls "rumors and speculation," and we'd hope for the sake of those possibly affected that it's not true. Having said this, it's hard not to imagine Heins wanting to streamline the BlackBerry maker as much as possible to adapt to shrinking market share and keep the company afloat until BlackBerry 10 potentially spurs a revival.

Rumors That Won?t Go Away: Microsoft Office Coming to iPad

MS-Office-for-iPad

Back in February The Daily, the first iPad-only newspaper, published a report saying that Microsoft was working on a version of Microsoft Office for iPad, it was nearly complete, and they had even got some hands-on time with ?a working prototype? of the software.

This week the Boy Genius himself. Jonathan Geller of BGR, says he has learned from a reliable source that Microsoft is planning to release MS Office for the iPad and Android tablets ? and they?re aiming for a November launch.

Their source also claims to have seen Microsoft Office running on an iPad and mentions that the splash screen for it says ?Office for iOS? ? which suggests there would be an iPhone version as well.

If we knew some specific dates for when the new Windows 8 tablets will launch (if ever) then we might be able to start guessing how long afterwards Microsoft would see fit to allow their office suite on other mobile platforms.

If and when Microsoft Office comes to the iPad, I think it?s a clear win-win situation for Apple and Microsoft. For Apple it?s another premier productivity suite and some flagship apps (especially for many corporate iPad users) and for Microsoft it would be a huge boost for their leading software suite in the rapidly growing mobile arena.

Save Time and Money Secure by Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard ...

Almost all of the owners of businesses and organizations have their own website and even a few sub domains. To test these sub domains are created for a specific organization certificate template functions that are similar to the SSL certification.

SSL Secure Sockets Layer means necessary to prevent identification theft. SSL-encrypted data is then processed as a transfer in the network, such as the transfer from server to another or from a browser to the server. SSL is a means to identify and verify the Web site, who they are the functionality of Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard Certificate as proof of identity or as a driver's license. In general, when conducting transactions on the Web e-commerce site with information on your credit card or online banking, you can find a unique key symbol on a web page that the site is using SSL-certification, and data is encrypted and cannot data available other person who guarantees the user that a particular Web site is secure and restrict all sorts of security breaches.

Web Security certification has been designed with compatibility, even for older browsers and operating systems that use the forty bit encryption.

In addition, in accordance with the requirement of some business organizations such certificates have been designed to work with the operating system using 2048 bits. This is convenient because the reasons, most organizations have multiple Web sites and sub-domains according to their business needs. These certificates is reasonable, if you want to use one certificate for all sites and sub-domains, which also reduces the difficulty of acquiring certificates for each sub-area and at each renewal, if the ends.

When it comes to the group certificate will be only one certificate for re-registration. Purchase of certificates separately for each sub-domain is high. In general SSL certificate can cost ten dollars to fifteen dollars each. But wildcard certificates have unlimited sub-domains with the former board.

Compromising the security of the website will be to the detriment of the Web certification. If the server is under threat, all sub domains are also associated with the server is compromised resulting in great difficulties and violations of security for user data. In addition, all sub domains will be a risk if the certificate expires and is not re-released for a certain period.

In general, the PositiveSSL Wildcard Certificate that are available, and the resulting high level of security for Web sites were more popular among business owners around the world. This is very advantageous in many installations however there can be some pitfalls, which are discussed below. Wildcard certificates are getting to be cheaper and a lot more popular. Here we'll go over a few of the advantages and drawbacks.

PHT: Sounds like Dempsey is leaving Fulham

First things first: don?t look for Clint Dempsey in Saturday?s friendly against Scotland. He didn?t say so, exactly ? but you don?t need Superhero ability to read between the lines to read between the lines on this one.

Dempsey talked at length to Sports Illustrated?s Grant Wahl this week from the U.S. camp in Orlando. He mentions having missed about 14 days (due to a groin injury) and says he needs to be ?smart.? He also said that it ?doesn?t make sense to play in a game if you?re not able to be close to 100 percent.?

So when the NBC Sports Network cameras roll Saturday night (kickoff at 8 p.m. ET), Dempsey is almost sure to be on the bench.

As for his future, that?s where Wahl?s interview climbs the ?interesting? ladder. It?s not that we haven?t heard it before, but his words are landing with greater resonance now, so close to decision-making time, a.k.a. the summer transfer window.

I?ve always said I?m grateful for everything Fulham has done for me. Some of the best memories I have in soccer have been there. But the fact remains that I want to play in Champions League. I want to play at the highest level possible.

?I want to do as much as I can in my career and look back and say I made the most of all the opportunities I?ve had. I?m always going to want to play in Champions League. It?s something I?ve never done. I?d like to test myself at that level. That way I can look back and say, ?Hey, I gave it a go. Either I was good enough or I wasn?t good enough.? ?

Again, sound like a man who prefers to remain comfortable, who would rather play out his days at Craven Cottage, where he knows he?ll start in pretty much every league match, but will almost surely never get into Champions League? Nah.

Asteroid nudged by sunlight: Most precise measurement of Yarkovsky effect

Asteroid nudged by sunlight: Most precise measurement of Yarkovsky effect [ Back to EurekAlert! ] Public release date: 24-May-2012

Scientists on NASA's asteroid sample return mission, Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx), have measured the orbit of their destination asteroid, 1999 RQ36, with such accuracy they were able to directly measure the drift resulting from a subtle but important force called the Yarkovsky effect the slight push created when the asteroid absorbs sunlight and re-emits that energy as heat.

"The new orbit for the half-kilometer (one-third mile) diameter 1999 RQ36 is the most precise asteroid orbit ever obtained," said OSIRIS-REx team member Steven Chesley of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. He presented the findings May 19 at the Asteroids, Comets and Meteors 2012 meeting in Niigata, Japan.

Observations that Michael Nolan at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico made in September 2011, along with Arecibo and Goldstone radar observations made in 1999 and 2005, when 1999 RQ36 passed much closer to Earth, show that the asteroid has deviated from its gravity-ruled orbit by roughly 100 miles, or 160 kilometers, in the last 12 years, a deviation caused by the Yarkovsky effect.

The Yarkovsky effect is named for the nineteenth-century Russian engineer who first proposed the idea that a small rocky space object would, over long periods of time, be noticeably nudged in its orbit by the slight push created when it absorbs sunlight and then re-emits that energy as heat.

"The Yarkovsky force on 1999 RQ36 at its peak, when the asteroid is nearest the sun, is only about a half ounce about the weight of three grapes on Earth. Meanwhile, the mass of the asteroid is estimated to be about 68 million tons. You need extremely precise measurements over a fairly long time span to see something so slight acting on something so huge."

Nolan and his team measured the distance between the Arecibo Observatory and 1999 RQ36 to an accuracy of 300 meters, or about a fifth of a mile, when the asteroid was 30 million kilometers, or 20 million miles, from Earth.

"That's like measuring the distance between New York City and Los Angeles to an accuracy of two inches, and fine enough that we have to take the size of the asteroid and of Arecibo Observatory into account when making the measurements," Nolan said.

Chesley and his colleagues used the new Arecibo measurements to calculate a series of 1999 RQ36 approaches closer to Earth than 7.5 million kilometers (4.6 million miles) from the years 1654 to 2135. There turned out to be 11 such encounters.

By combining the radar results from Arecibo Observatory with infrared results from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, the scientists also learned that asteroid 1999 RQ36 is very light it has around the same density as water, Chesley reported.

"This study is an important step in better understanding the Yarkovsky effect a subtle force that contributes to the orbital evolution of new Near-Earth Objects," said Dante Lauretta, the mission's principal investigator and professor of planetary science at the University of Arizona.

Lauretta added that "this information is critical for assessing the likelihood of an impact from our target asteroid and provides important constraints on its mass and density, allowing us to substantially improve our mission design."

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is to launch in 2016, reach asteroid (101955) 1999 RQ36 in 2019, examine it up close during a 505-day rendezvous, then return at least 60 grams (~1.9 ounces) of it to Earth in 2023.

"In addition to the exciting Yarkovsky results, the low density shows that 1999 RQ36 is probably a loose aggregate of rocks--a so called rubble pile," said Jason Dworkin, the mission's project scientist and Chief of Astrochemistry at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "This makes it an ideal target for OSIRIS-REx to collect loose surface material."

NASA's Goddard is responsible for overall mission management for the OSIRIS-REx project. The Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona in Tucson leads the science mission. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver will build and operate the spacecraft. OSIRIS-REx is the third mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages New Frontiers for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

Health and Wellness Fair provides comprehensive health information

(U.S. Air Force photo/Robb Lingley) The fitness center held its annual Health and Wellness Fair April 11. There were nearly 35 vendors in attendance to take care of all aspects of fitness, including churches, grocery stores, gyms, massage therapists, medical institutes, the 21st Dental Squadron, outdoor recreation and others.

21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. ? Health is more than physical fitness. At the fitness center?s annual Health and Wellness Fair April 11, there were nearly 35 vendors in attendance to take care of all aspects of fitness; including the four Comprehensive Airman Fitness pillars- physical, social, mental and spiritual health.

Senior Airman Ladashia McKoy, fitness center fitness specialist, planned this year?s Health and Wellness Fair. McKoy said that many people only think of physical health and nutrition when they think of a health fair. ?There?s more to health than just that. Massages are great for your health; it helps you to relieve stress,? she said. ?People don?t look at it like that and I wish they would. That?s why we brought such a broad genre of (vendors) here.?

Some of the vendors have been at the fair in the past, but McKoy wanted to expand the fair. ?I asked people if there was anything not at last year?s health fair that they wanted to see at this one,? she said.

McKoy scoured the phone books and Internet for local businesses that might be interested.

A variety of vendors, including churches, grocery stores, gyms, massage therapists, medical institutes, the 21st Dental Squadron, outdoor recreation and others attended the event.

The fitness center provided hotdogs, popcorn and beverages.

Rebel With Style | Baby care | Health and Fitness | Beauty ...

?Shit happens?.

That is the preferably loose translation of the 1st Buddhist Great Truth: ?Life is endurance? or ?In life there is suffering?.

And it?s real, isn?t it?

The world is beset with problems.

That which?s more, as spiritual person you are probable to feel these problems on a greater degree of acute level than your medium person.

Since you are more sentient to the world around you than greatest in quantity, it will touch you more profoundly.

To make matters worse, you?re likewise not as good at distracting yourself from tormenting issues in any of the normal ways ? football, the pub, novel novels, whatever!

Not saying you at no time enjoy any of these things ? it?s equitable that you know there is greater degree of to life and will never be satisfied getting stuck solely on these kinds of pleasures.

This can be annoying and at times you probably wish you could be like the very spacious majority of your old friends who live in whole ignorance of their spiritual verge, who never feel the need to actual observation anything beyond everyday pleasures and who, as a proceed, never feel socially out-of-area.

But you?ve tasted the spiritual, nothing smaller will ultimately satisfy you and you can?t revolve back. What now?

Now is the point at which place a lot of spiritual practitioners go wrong.

They see how mad abundant of society is, they feel its problems through painful intensity ? and they perceive that someone, something, more group is to blame!

And that?s at the time they start playing the ?Censure Game?.

The ?Blame Game? is benevolent of fun.

For New Agers (yep, you and me) it can be the equivalent of having a beer and a sooty vapor with your friends.

A exact way to socially pass the time, to perceive a sense of belonging and, better than beer, raise yourself with a sense of pious superiority.

It?s also an ideal tribunal to feel sorry for yourself at the time things aren?t going so well. For let?s admit it: what you?re dealing through isn?t your fault ? it?s the fault of capitalism, our crappy prosperity system, the government, the rich, the temple, the USA, the patriarchal system ? THEM! Those bastards out in that place!

Of course, you and I both know that we are ? at the true least ? to some extent answerable for our lot; but aren?t we still justified in blaming more of the abovementioned groups?

The answer is yes, we may, to more extent, be justified. The problem, howsoever, is that being justified (and straight) doesn?t necessarily make us joyous.

In the case in point, blaming the universe ? and fighting against it ? will greatest in quantity likely only make our place worse.

This is a little reckoner-intuitive, because surely at the time you?re up against something oppressive you should do all that is potential to fight against it?

Hmm.

Let?s see how that works in custom. Remember 9/11 and the anti-terrorist war that closely followed? How did that go? Did we see a reduction in terrorist assaults?

Not as far I remember.

In incident, in the years following 9/11 in that place seemed to be a lot more terrorist action than ever before. It was as if the harder we fought to get rid of terrorists, the greater degree of there were.

Now, there are more obvious reasons for this (e.g. if you slay a terrorist then his friends and household are not exactly going to be happy); but in this place I want to focus on two others: Firstly ? as is commonly perceive in energy worker circles ? ?at which place focus goes, energy flows?.

In other language, the more we focus our anger on a thing , the more we feed it with our force. That is precisely why ?what we oppose, persists? (as another one of those sayings goes). So energetically it?s at no time going to work to fight and oppose anything. It can?t. It?s only going to firing the problem.

The other major intellect why it is a mistake to blame others for the ?ills of the universe? is because it strips us of our power by putting us at the clemency of the ?perpetrators? (if not 100%, at that time at least to a large percent).

Why?

For the extent to which other tribe are capable of determining our fate is the expansion to which we lose control above our life. And this powerlessness ? from a psychological point of view ? is known to be a regular contributor to distress and depression.

Does this middle then that we shouldn?t do anything to fix the universe?s problems? That we should equitable pretend things are right at the time they?re not? Stay positive in malice of the evidence?

And should we really equitable sit back passively in the face of misuse, corruption and the like?

The answer is that we shouldn?t equitable sit back and do nothing, but that at the time we act, we?ve got to act intelligently.

We?ve got to ?rebel with diction?.

In short, we?ve got to stand FOR something preferably than AGAINST something.

If we direct the eye around and find that our materialistic association is creating problems, for instance, at that time we might work to create a greater degree of spiritual society. We won?t rally opposed to the ?capitalist pigs?, we?ll plainly offer something different and let tribe bit by bit be drawn to our more soulful way of doing things.

If ?big calling? is hurting the country, we might originate our own spiritual way of doing business and prepare a model for other people to come.

If the patriarchal society is oppressing women and creating vehemence then we might educate tribe to love, cherish and live a new set of values, one that allows individuals to flourish in a way that most good suits their individual necessarily.

In this way we are building something new, preferably than waging war on the old. We are replacing one set of values harmoniously through another.

So my message is this:

Let?s lose the remembrance of about blame. Let?s forget around being justified. Let?s stop contention against the things we hate.

In lieu, let?s focus our mind on what we deficiency, not on what we don?t want.

Let?s be an example to others.

A beaming light.

Let?s create the world we deficiency to live in and inspire others from one side positive, constructive action.

Let?s be PRO preferably than AGAINST.

Business Strategies Taken by IT outsourcing Companies

After the implementation of the LPG that is Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization, areas of social or economic policy have been dissolved. Now we are free to trade our products and services to any other cities and countries across the globe, crossing the interface of our country. The predominance of e-governance has made the job easier. E-governance has intensified Marshall McLuhan?s concept of global village that enables these IT outsourcing companies in their core focus on glocalization.? It has helped them to manage the core functions from a distant place or a different country. Now by the governance of the internet, i-phone and mobile phone, we can take our online vendors to any viewer belong to any part of the world. Now let me get into our main area of outsourcing.

?

?The term ?outsourcing? is used for contracting out business function to an external organization or a business entity that is far from our shore or land.

To be more precise, when a project or a business function is delivered to an entity or company outside the country is called off shoring or offshore outsourcing.? This concept of outsourcing helps the outsourcing companies to perform better in their core competencies. In the present day marketplace, the post recession and economic-meltdown-period, as businesses are not sure whether their investment in proffered niches will prove beneficial for them or not, they are starting their niches with limited hands and getting their ancillary parts done by other entities or companies located in offshore countries. If they find their selected niches are beneficial and profitable for them, they look for more hands or full supports in these niches.

There are generally three types of IT outsourcing companies commonly found across the globe.

They are as follows:?

I) Technology Services Outsourcing (TSO)

II) Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)

III) Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO)

?

Business Strategies Taken by IT outsourcing Companies:

Low Labor Cost: Low Labor Cost is the main benefit achieved by IT outsourcing companies. The labor cost of the developing countries being lower than the developed countries, outsourcing companies belong to developed countries prefer to outsource their project or business functions from developing countries. ?Besides, IT outsourcing companies, sometimes, hire manpower at low price from the developing countries. Thus they are able to utilize the human resource of a country located far away from their countries.

Low Production and Development Charge: As efficient intellects are easily available at the very low cost in developing countries and the availably other required resources are easily available at cheap rate, it helps IT outsourcing companies offer business function at the very cheap rate. Thus they get position in this competitive business world.

Low Capital Investment: At the early period of a project or a business workshop, it is tough enough for a company to invest a huge amount of money.? Outsourcing helps the companies to cut down their capital investment. Besides, if a company goes to take part in every step and function required to complete a project, it becomes more expensive that results in unsatisfied customers.

BRUSSELS (AP) ? European Union leaders concluded their latest summit early Thursday with few concrete steps to fix the continent's festering financial crisis even as the potential for a messy Greek exit from the euro appears to be rising. Some leaders stressed the importance of planning for just such an event but offered no measures that might help Greece avoid it.

Also left unresolved was what Europe should do to spark economic growth and restore the confidence of investors, who have driven some countries' borrowing costs to unsustainable levels. The fiscal austerity agenda that Germany has promoted as the solution to Europe's problem of too much government debt has been met with rising skepticism in other euro countries.

The leaders of the 27 EU countries agreed to give institutions such as the European Investment Bank the task of drawing up proposals for growth in time for another summit in June. But there was discord over more aggressive actions promoted by some leaders heading into the summit, such as issuing bonds jointly as a way of reducing borrowing costs for heavily indebted nations among the 17 countries that use the euro.

The perception that European leaders lack the political will to tackle the continent's financial and economic problems has left markets on edge for weeks. Recession is spreading. Banks are under pressure. The biggest fear is that if Greece cannot be saved, other larger economies ? like Spain or Portugal ? might face the same fate.

The euro countries "have to consider all kinds of events," Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker told reporters after a European Union summit, but insisted that "the working assumption" was that Greece would remain part of the euro. Leaders gathered in Brussels recognized that Greece had endured significant hardships and promised to release development funds aimed at spurring growth.

But the statement from Juncker, who also chairs meetings of eurozone finance ministers, was a frank admission that Greece could wind up abandoning the euro. The country's fringe political parties, which are threatening to renege on commitments made to secure bailout loans, saw their popularity surge in recent elections. No party has been able to form a government, and the country will vote again June 17.

Many analysts have said that Greece, already in its fifth year of recession, has no hope of recovery if it sticks to the spending cuts and tax hikes it agreed to in order to secure bailout loans.

"We want Greece to remain in the euro area," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said after the meeting. "We expect that they will stick to the commitments that they have entered into."

Political uncertainty in Greece is just one of the fires the Europe needs to put out. Leaders are also worried about rising borrowing costs in Spain and Italy that could force them to seek bailouts, just like Greece, Portugal and Ireland did.

Markets had expected the latest EU summit to disappoint and it did. Europe's stock markets had fallen heavily during trading on Wednesday and the euro hit a near two-year low against the dollar.

Asian stock markets retreated Thursday as the lack of a breakthrough in Europe unnerved traders. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 was down 0.5 at 8,514.53 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng slipped 0.6 percent to 18,682.38.

Dariusz Kowalczyk, senior economist at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong, said Thursday: "Europe is not doing enough, and the market may not wait for them."

One of the biggest questions facing Europe is whether it's time to cut Greece some slack. Some European countries seemed ready to ease the pressure, and international organizations have called for the pace of austerity measures to be slowed in some struggling countries.

But Thursday's summit of 27 European Union leaders ended with no apparent concessions. A final statement said Greece had to respect its commitments and trumpeted the money the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund had loaned Greece as a sign of their "solidarity." It did say that funds for economic development would be sent to Greece ? though it's unclear how much of an immediate impact on growth they would have.

Juncker insisted early Thursday that he had not asked the euro nations to prepare national contingency plans for a possible chaotic departure of Greece from the currency.

French President Francois Hollande said that to evoke the even the possibility was dangerous ? and would send a signal to the markets that the eurozone wasn't standing behind Greece.

The debate reflects the fine line European leaders must walk between pressuring Greece to stick to a program of spending cuts and tax hikes that have exacerbated its economic slowdown and trying to ensure its presence in the eurozone.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy suggested the European Central Bank resume some of its emergency measures, such as buying the bonds of weak countries, which has the impact of lowering countries' borrowing rates. The ECB has suspended the purchases because, as an independent body, it does not want to be seen supporting governments directly. Instead, it has given European banks massive amounts of cheap loans to bolster confidence in the financial system and allow banks to buy up their country's debt.

Leaders on Thursday also addressed the contentious issue of whether the countries that use the euro should spread the risk and borrow money jointly - issuing so-called "eurobonds." This would mean every country could borrow funds at the same rate, substantially lowering the costs for the more indebted countries.

Hollande has pushed for them as an important way to ensure such a crisis never happens again, but Merkel has rejected them, fearing they would reduce the pressure on heavily indebted governments to heal their finances and force Germany to borrow at higher rates.
