HISTORY:
The Leeds and Liverpool canal was built from 1772 to increase industrial transportation between West Yorkshire and the Merseyside ports. Limestone, textiles and coal were in critical demand between Yorkshire and Lancashire at this time where trains were still only beginning to happen. Committees in Bradford and Liverpool formed and for a while disputed over their different respective plans for the route Following appeasement, the route as proposed via engineers John Longbotham and James Brindley was built at a cost of nearly £260, 000 and a length of 109 miles. The first phase, from Bingley to Shipley was up and running by 1774. By this time, Brindley had passed, and Longbotham had taken over as chief engineer. The construction from the Liverpool end reached Wigan in 1781.
The canal's overall construction spanned five decades, delayed further by money and disputes and also the colonial war in the late 1700s. Trade from Yorkshire to Liverpool was already brisk by the time construction finished, including branches - significantly the ones to Bradford and Wigan. Although both steam and horse drawn railways were available by 1800, the canal continued to thrive for a century.
Horse drawn barges would last impressively until 1960 while industrial trade remaining until the 1980s, by which time the bulk of such work was being done, quite inevitably by trains and lorries.
Today, the Leeds and Liverpool canal stretches for 127 miles, crossing the Pennines between the two cities, with additional branches bringing people - and still business - to and from other towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire on its journey. 91 locks are included, notably the notorious 5 Locks at Bingley, which take an apparent 3-4 hours to negotiate.
The towpath is used heavily by both walkers and cyclists on its route, with the Leeds end being notably active especially during commuter hours. At the newly developed Granary Wharf, the canal basin area has been heavily redeveloped in recent years while the new southern entrance to Leeds station also providing additionally quick access to the canal route.

Increasing the role of women in biofouling management. Sitara Shipping . Charting the route towards inclusive biofouling management.
Although increasing numbers of women in the EBRD region are earning graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, men still dominate the knowledge-intensive industries that draw on this talent pool. Gains by women entrepreneurs are even less evident in the knowledge economy in transition countries.
The panel discussion focused on impediments to female participation in the knowledge economy and ways to capitalise better on women’s potential as innovators, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.
In an attempt to increase tourism, Belfast City Council designated a number of cultural quarters at the beginning of the new millennium, and it was then that the Cathedral Quarter was born, The area is named after St. Anne's Cathedral. The church was built between the years of 1899 and 1904 and enjoys a central setting on Donegall Street, beside Ulster University.
This week was the first time that I got the opportunity to see the inside of St. Anne’s Cathedral and to be honest I think that it will be the last time.
I am not religious so in theory it should not worry or bother me that the place had the feeling of a commercial enterprise rather than that of a ‘house of god’. Upon entering the building the interior struck me as being styled in the manner on a modern art gallery rather than a cathedral but in a way it could be described as attractive or even beautiful but it totally lacks atmosphere.
Before I visited Belfast I checked some tourist guides and they all indicated that entry to the cathedral was free but that donations were appreciated. When I went into the Cathedral much of of the centre was cordoned-off as some work was in progress.
There was a merchandising section not far from the entrance and this was manned by a lady who was having a conversation with two people who were either guides or church officials, they were dressed in blue. I was nearly at the altar when I was approached by the lady who explained that there was a nominal fee which needed to be paid before I left.
While I would describe the place as attractive and bright I did not find it in anyway interesting but this could because I am not at all comfortable with a church that features military artefacts as a major attraction.
I took a few photographs and then went to pay the ’nominal fee’ and I was more than surprised when I was informed that the cost of entry was £5.00.

This alloy was solution treated. Hardening is achieved by the controlled rejection of copper from a supersaturated solid solution. There is some additional hardening from precipitates such as MgSi2. From the phase diagram for the pure aluminium-copper binary system, it can be seen that the solubility of copper in -aluminium increases with increasing temperature up to the eutectic temperature of about 550°C. The equilibrium microstructure below the eutectic temperature is a two-phase mixture of -aluminium and the Al2Cu intermetallic phase (also known as q phase). The initial solution heat treatment aims to obtain the maximum possible concentration of copper in solution. Rapid quenching from the solution temperature prevents the kinetically slow precipitation of , forming a highly supersaturated solid solution of copper. Rapid quenching also preserves the large number density of vacancies in the aluminium lattice from the high solution temperature. This increases copper diffusion rates at low temperature and accelerates ageing. Care must be taken with commercial alloys where the additional alloying elements reduce the eutectic temperature. This reduces the maximum solution heat treatment temperature since heating above the eutectic temperature causes the growth of a brittle intergranular eutectic. Ageing may occur at room temperature (Natural Ageing) or above (Artificial Ageing), and takes place via a sequence of precipitation reactions. At low temperatures, the sequence may not be completed even after very long times, whereas at high temperatures, where diffusion is rapid, the early stages may not be observed.The microstructure in this sample shows q phase at high magnification. The crystallographic relationship between the precipitates and the aluminium lattice is apparent from the alignment of the precipitates.

The system is based on 6 bike stations, respectively staffed by two employees in two shifts. Ecovolis program has proven successful in dramatically increasing bicycle use in Tirana, which, formerly, was a city without a developed bicycle culture. Ecovolis program is the first project in Albania that provides low-income adults with commuter bicycles as well as a donating program for children bicycles. The program recently completed two major steps, opening new bike stations in the city of Durrës and integrating Tourist Information Point Service to the bicycles stations' structure.
History
The Tirana Community Bicycle Albania project won financial support from the George Soros Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). An even larger contribution came from the US-based Pedal for Progress organization, which donated 450 bicycles. Sixty of these were used road bikes, which were modified and painted by local technicians to serve as public bikes in the Ecovolis scheme. Another portion was set aside to donate to children and to activists and volunteers at PASS. Still another portion were diverted to the project's Eco Bicycle Shop, a social enterprise which sells bikes for USD 50-150 and reinvests profits for the service and maintenance of Ecovolis bicycles. The main objective of the program was to introduce the community to an inexpensive, environmental friendly form of transport -- the bicycle; to sell used bikes at low prices; to donate bikes to the children of needy families and to PASS volunteers; to establish a bike sharing-scheme in the city (Ecovolis); and to employ financially disadvantaged people and young students to operate the bike-sharing scheme.
System
Each Ecovolis station is staffed by two employees in two shifts and contains 30 -- 60 bicycles. In order to use the bicycles it is required to provide a personal identification document (such as passport or ID card) or by subscribing to the Ecovolis membership Card.
The first black and red bicycles, (also the colors of the Albanian flag) were donated from US-organization Pedal for Progress, (which collect and donate used bicycles). As these bicycles were of different types, converting them for safe and comfortable public use took months of work. The price per bicycle varies from 60 US$ to 90 US$ each. The bicycle is equipped with a front bicycle basket, a behind carrier, a comfortable saddle and a public fender with the Ecovolis sign.
The bicycle stations also provide touristic information to the visitors and a list of the city attractions. Moreover, being a non-profit social enterprise, during particular days the program offers free bicycle service, cycling courses, donations of bicycles and helmets for children in need, bike tours and a bicycle recycle program.

Abstract:
The field of digital signal processing (DSP) has been a very active area of research and application for more than six decades. This broad development has paralleled in time the rapid development of high-speed electronic digital computers, microelectronics and integrated circuit fabrication technologies. An ever-increasing assortment of integrated circuits specifically tailored to perform common DSP functions is available to the design engineer as system building blocks or parts-in-trade. DSP methodologies have been applied to consumer electronics, communications, automotive electronics, instrumentation, medical electronics, tomography and acoustic imaging, cartography, seismology, speech recognition, robotics and other fields. In his talk, Dr. Mitra will provide a brief overview of the initial developments in DSP and review some of the important advances made during the nearly-60-year period of its growth, and will describe a number of its key applications. He will conclude with speculation on DSP’s future trends and directions.

See how much the bats have increased in numbers?

Even though some couples have engaged in frequent sexual activity without contraception, it can be challenging to become a parent. Male reproductive issues cause infertility in around one-third of all cases. However, there are ways to increase male fertility. Male fertility typically depends on the quantity and quality of sperm generated; getting your partner pregnant might be difficult when these factors are low. The main causes of male infertility include stress, worry, and depression. Most males cannot establish sexual sensations because of mental stress. According to the study, stress is bad for one's physical and mental health. Men should practice certain stress-releasing activities like yoga and meditation.

My camera & I did not amuse him.
Also, have you heard about the new student tuition fees? I am not amused, but I am actually going to say a few things which I believe are mostly rational, rather than join any of these vitriolic discussions I've found under BBC articles.
Firstly, a lot of the people commenting on these articles have completely lumped all students into rampant sex addicts and alcoholics, which makes me wonder why they expect anyone to take them seriously. What's worrying though is that they are actually being engaged in conversation, and applauded for their views. I realise I could be seen as unusual, due to the fact that I haven't consumed any alcohol since I arrived at university - I come from an area where this is extremely unusual, and indeed this country has such a reputation that judging by the media I would be considered unusual by most of the population. In fact, I have found just as many people here who don't drink as those who like going out getting smashed. Unfortunately, the drinkers draw more attention to themselves. Now of course there's a nice middle section who drink and don't do it to extremes, but if you were to search a student's facebook page & see an alcohol bottle in the background then I betting a lot of the people on those forums would assume they'd had an all-night drinking session. What is often glossed over is the fact that many people not in university, who are at 9-5 jobs and therefore considered mostly 'respectable' by society go out on binges and pub crawls. Again, it's not something I choose to do, but of course I know adults who go out with the sole purpose of damaging their liver as much as possible. Perhaps this is because I'm at a Russel Group University, but I've also found that, okay, yes, there are a few people who put partying above work (I've genuinely only met one extreme case like this), but a lot of people have worked extremely hard in all their free time, & then gone out to enjoy themselves with their friends. Would they be criticised by these viperous forum snipers if instead they'd gone out to the cinema with their friends? Or for a long dinner? Perhaps you would argue that they are on tax payers money, & therefore should focus solely on their work. In that case you would have to apply the same logic to A-level students at your local state, or maybe even to the GCSE kids, because they definitely go out & party too. I'm digressing away from the fees issue, it's just those forum snipers really irritated me. I'm one of the first people to judge someone for drinking too much (at least I'm honest about it!) but I will not condemn students for it, & say it shows they're not taking their degree seriously.
I've not mentioned any of the "lower" universities, writing this purely from the POV of someone who attends a RG Uni, but I've never hidden my disdain for some of the degrees out there. I feel awkward naming them, because I know a ridiculous amount of people who take them, but some of them should definitely not be three year courses if they absolutely must be taught at university, & there are a number of courses which shouldn't be university degrees at all. I don't believe university should be an equal-opportunity institution. As far as I'm concerned university should be academically elitist. There is no shame in not going to university if your interests lie elsewhere. I object to this target that 50% of 18 year olds should be funnelled into HE, with a large majority of them studying courses which could have been taught at a college, or through actually going out there & getting a job.
Some of these spiteful commenters said that any degree that is useful (maths, science, engineering) should be free, whereas everyone else should pay. Now, as someone taking English Literature, of course I'm expected to object. & I do. I understand that the aforementioned subjects are very important for our society, but then I ask you to imagine what the world we lived in now would be like if no one had ben taught English, or History, or Theatre, even Geography (which I saw being dismissed). I've never found Geography very interesting, but without geographers are you really sure that we'd understand our world as much as we currently do? Geography & the sciences do cross over, and when it comes to monitoring earthquakes and volcanoes, etc. you couldn't do it without those technical subjects either, but there is a co-dependency in some area. Then moving onto English, or Theatre, I have to ask what degrees you think the writers of BBC drama documentaries studied. The world has changed, and entertainment is of much more significance than in the past, & you genuinely won't find many Biologists producing your favourite comedy.
I think I'd actually be quiet happy if all students had to pay the worth of their degree. Now you could point out that as an English Literature student it's very easy for me to say that, as my degree is worth a few hundred pounds more than the worth of my loan, and I'd say that yes, you're right. On the other hand, I would argue that I think someone studying English Literature at Glyndwr (a very poor university near my home town) should not have to pay the same as me, seeing as I am at a markedly better university. Then, moving onto subjects, I would argue that medicine should indeed cost more than my degree. The majority of people training to be medics will earn vastly more than me, & yet we pay the same for our degrees, while there's as much more expensive to run than mine. Surely it is in the tax payer's interests to see this happen? At this point though, there is usually an outcry that medicine is a much worthier cause than English Literature. I'm sorry, but this shouldn't be about which cause is worthier: we live in a capitalist society, therefore it should be about economics. (Also, an interesting side-note is that medical students - & I apologise for this generalisation - are among the worst drinkers out there. I was shocked to hear of someone having their stomach pumped recently. They're training to be a doctor!) There are some expensive subjects (physics, for example), where the majority of graduates aren't going to earn a lot of money, in which case I would say that these courses should be the minority that are subsidised.
I keep digressing, but I really want to record my thoughts on the matter, so I must persevere.
Oh, another of the forum posters said he was a grandfather, & that they were already struggling to find the money to send his two grandchildren to university, & thanks to the fee hikes they probably wouldn't be able to go. I don't know where this myth originated from, but students don't pay immediately. They pay after they start earning £20,000+. No student actually pays - graduates pay.
I'm not one of those people who is against cuts - even to my beloved theatre. Some things are unnecessarily subsidised, and the money is being wasted. There seems to be a culture in the UK where everyone (another generalisation, but one which seems to be proving itself around me daily) wants to improve the financial state of the country, without anything changing, or at least nothing bothering them. I actually accept that there need to be changes, and yes it's unfortunate, but it needs to be done (I, for one, believe IVF on the NHS is abhorrently wasteful), I would just argue that a the increase in tuition fees should be the same for every student, and that it should depend on their university and their course. & also I was really irritated with some of the disparaging views being put out there about students, and that nobody was refuting them!
Anyway, lecture over. I spent 4 hours in the library completing an essay, and spent two hours analysing a two page extract from a book. I actually really enjoyed it. & now I have to finish my medieval translations (it's my last translations class tomorrow!), make sure I've done everything for tomorrow. Yay!

The Challenge:
As world population increases, so does the need for universally available education. This education ranges from access to skilled labor training and university liberal arts to basic public health information. The problem is how to physically bring together educators and students. Schools in sparsely populated regions struggle with cost-effective course offerings for a small number of students. Students face a limited number of program options, and challenging schedules with commuting. In developing nations, higher education may be impossible without significant wealth and freedom to travel. In farming communities, every member of the family may be needed during the daylight hours.

2015 was another foggy year for the fireworks in San Francisco. The fog not only reduces visibility but also greatly increases the risks of overexposure, as the fog layer remains a continual (soft) light source. The one saving grace is that it can create a unique color experience.

To accommodate an increase in employees and production, Suzy’s Cheesecakes decided it was time to move to a bigger building. They carefully considered over 100 other buildings and sites before committing to a vacant industrial property located in Oak Creek, conveniently situated and with expansive space, but in need of many retrofits to suit their business. Consolidated worked with Suzy’s to tailor a build-out with production, cooler and freezer space, state of the art equipment, mezzanine, and ample office and dock space. Now with their 44,000 square foot building they have quadrupled their baking, freezing and storage capacity.
“Consolidated led us through the process of remodeling an existing facility to be the site of our new headquarters. While we were working within the parameters of an existing building shell, their design incorporated all the cooler, freezer, production and finished product areas that we needed, as well as room to grow. Our schedule had a “no excuses” occupancy deadline, and Jeremy and Curt kept things running smoothly to hit our target. Even our subcontractors have told me what a smooth project this was. I’m an advocate and will be using Consolidated when we’re ready to grow again.”
