Plano bankruptcy attorney
July 3rd, 2009
A proposal now being considered by the U.S. Senate would impose new liability standards and regulations on debtors attorneys in bankruptcy cases. If these standards become law, they could impact many debtors bankruptcy attorneys, along with attorneys who work for programs funded by Legal Services Corp. or other legal aid programs, and attorneys who provide pro bono bankruptcy representation. On Feb. 1, Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) introduced bankruptcy reform legislation, S. 256, that would increase the liability and administrative burdens of bankruptcy attorneys under the Bankruptcy Code. The new measure, which is similar to legislation that was approved by the House of Representatives last year, H.R. 975/S. 1920, would require debtors attorneys to: (1) certify the accuracy of the debtors bankruptcy schedules, under penalty of court sanctions; (2) certify the debtors ability to make payments under a reaffirmation agreement; and (3) identify, advertise and conduct themselves as debt relief agencies subject to a host of new regulations.

A product intended to help transfer digital music from home computers to stereo sound systems has been introduced by Linksys, a wireless equipment manufacturer and part of Cisco Systems Inc, and Yahoo Inc, an Internet company. The Wireless-G Music Bridge can be used in conjunction with Yahoos Music Engine, which can be downloaded free of charge by Yahoo digital music subscribers. The Music Engine enables users to save and play songs, transfer tracks to portable devices and share them on an instant messaging system. Linksys Wireless-G Music Bridge is available for around USD99.99 (GBP56), with a USD20 rebate offered by Yahoo for those committing to a one year subscription to its music service.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — PixelMEDIA, Inc., a full service company offering integrated strategy, design and implementation services for Web, multimedia and IT initiatives, today announced its role in the design and development of the Sonos(TM) Digital Music System user interface. The first and only multi-zone digital music system with a wireless, full-color LCD screen controller, the Sonos Digital Music System lets consumers play their entire digital music collection, all over their home, and control it from the palm of their hand. During the development stage of the Sonos Digital Music System, PixelMEDIA was chosen as the lead partner in the creation of the user interface graphics for the Sonos(TM) Controller CR100 and Desktop Controller. The handheld is a wireless device with a full-color screen that allows the user to access, customize, and control the music from any location. The handheld and desktop controllers work with the Sonos(TM) ZonePlayer, which is a networked audio player that distributes, plays, and amplifies music in any “zone” in the home. As part of the process, PixelMEDIA completed an extensive workshop with the Sonos development team to ensure the proper information transfer of critical project objectives. “During the development of the Sonos Digital Music System, it was critical that we partnered with vendors that demonstrated the same amount of passion that we share at Sonos,” said Rob Lambourne, Interaction Design Lead, Sonos, Inc. “We chose PixelMEDIA based on the companys proven design expertise and we continue to be impressed with the teams ongoing creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment.” PixelMEDIA was instrumental in developing the user interface custom icons that adhered to the specifications outlined by Sonos. In addition, PixelMEDIA designed visual elements that fit screen and functional specifications. Proprietary Flash templates were developed to accommodate hardware limitations and feature wire frame changes throughout the development process. The Sonos Digital Music System has received third-party praise for innovation and design, including Best of Audio - 2005 CEA Innovations Awards, 2004 Best of Whats New in Home Entertainment by Popular Science Magazine, Best of CES by Mobile PC Magazine MAXIMUM PC Magazine, Finalist 2005 G4 TechTV Best of CES Awards, 2005 CES Popular Mechanics Editors Choice Award, 2005 iF Design Award, and 2005 CEA Mark of Excellence Finalist.

Frontier Communications, Stamford, Conn., has launched the groundbreaking Frontier1 Wireless Companion, among the first phone services to integrate the home phone line with the cell phone. Frontier1s unique service uses one phone number and one integrated voicemail box for a customers home phone line and cell phone. Customers may keep their existing cell phone number, eliminating the need to change cell phone numbers, carriers, calling plans, business cards and more. Frontier1 lets users switch calls easily between a home phone line and cell phone, or any other phone line in the continental US. One phone number simultaneously rings a customers home phone line and cell phone. Customers decide which phone to answer. If a customer chooses the home line, he or she can enjoy Frontiers crystal-clear, high-quality phone service and save cell phone minutes. The call can continue as the customer leaves home; simply pressing three buttons on their home phone switches the call to the cell phone. There is no disconnect; the call shifts seamlessly and the conversation continues. Frontier1 customers control when, where and how they take their calls. Frontier1 works in conjunction with Frontiers new Digital Phone, which combines unlimited local and long-distance calling in the United States with Frontiers most popular calling features. “Frontier is one of the first telecommunications companies in the United States to bring this exciting new service to customers,” said Maggie Wilderotter, chairman and CEO of Frontier. “Frontier1 puts customers in control of their calls and provides peace-of-mind since their landline runs on Frontiers high-quality, reliable network and now works in conjunction with their favorite wireless service.” Frontier customers in Orange County, New York are the first to experience the benefits and convenience of this technology. Frontiers executive vice president of Sales, Marketing and Business Development Pete Hayes remarked, “Orange County is an increasingly popular residential choice for many who commute to New York City, so it is exciting that Middletown, Monroe and surrounding communities will be the first to be offered Frontier1.” Hayes continued, “Frontier1 is a real value-added service, and we think customers will welcome a way to simplify their busy lives with one number and one voicemail box. Its a great service.”

NEW YORK — Fitch affirms Rental Car Finance Corp.s (RCFC) rental car asset-backed notes as follows:
The rental car employee then asked Bayles for his drivers license and Bayles indicated that it was in his car at the dealership. Bayles friend was also asked for her drivers license and she indicated that it was at the dealership as well. The manager of the rental car agency was asked if they should return to the dealership to obtain the drivers licenses, but the manager told the employee to go ahead and complete the rental agreement.In April, 1991, the plaintiff, Drinkall, an Iowa resident, was injured in an accident in Iowa involving a car driven by Bayles. Because Bayles and Used Car were residents of Nebraska and Drinkall was an Iowa resident, the case was heard in federal court under “diversity of citizenship” jurisdiction.The case was tried in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. The jury found the rental car company liable. The trial court had instructed the jury that in order to find Used Car liable it had to find that Used Car had consented to Bayles use of the vehicle at the time of the accident. Iowa law provides that, where damage is done by any motor vehicle by reason of its negligence of the driver and the auto is driven with the consent of the owner, the owner of the motor vehicle shall be liable for such damage.On appeal, defendant Used Car argued that the district court should not have used Iowa law but rather Nebraska law, which does not provide for owner liability. The appellate court found that the district court was correct in using Iowa law. In conflicts of law situations, the federal court is to use the conflicts of law that is prevailing in the state in which it sits. Iowa uses the significant relationships test, a theory that the court should use the law of the state which has the most significant relationships to the matter and parties involved in the litigation.

If he was a plumber, though, what manner of plumber would David Cameron be? The Tory leader, summoned via the Yellow Pages to fix a problem with your boiler. You would let him in, I think. Nice face, easy manner. Theres a problem with your boiler, he would say. I will, says David the plumber, but not yet. First, I am going to set up a series of Boiler Review Groups. Some of these will be headed by really quite surprising people who have been harping on about boilers for years. They will look into the problem in depth, and then they will propose a series of solutions. Fine, you might say, boilers not being your personal forte. And then youll fix it? David the plumber might give a little chuckle. You know the one? That plumber chuckle? I will, hed repeat, but not yet. I mean, lets be clear. These wont be my proposals for boiler repair. Far from it! Some of them will be frankly quite outlandish. So before committing myself to any particular course of action, I would prefer to float them all in the public domain, possibly by means of leaks. Hahaha, youd say, dutifully, but then David the plumber would cock his head slightly, puzzled, and youd realise it couldnt have been a deliberate pun after all. This might make you feel a little tired. So you would gather yourself for one final push. And afterwards, youd say, you will fix it? Right?

The reasons for the lack of attention to physical functioning have not been identified, however it has been suggested that incorporation of physical activity assessment into the routine care plan in the dialysis clinics may be helpful (Carlson Carey, 1999; Johansen, Sakkas, Doyle, Shubert, Dudley, 2003; Painter, Blagg, Moore, 1995; Painter Johansen, 1999). A recent survey of exercise counseling practices among nephrologists caring for dialysis patients reported that only 38% reported “almost always” or “often” assessing patient levels of physical activity and providing counseling to inactive patients to increase activity (Johansen, Sakkas, Doyle, Shubert, Dudley, 2003). The experience of the authors working with exercise in the dialysis clinics is that dialysis staff members have significant influence, and the dialysis setting provides a unique opportunity to provide encouragement and guidance to their patients for increasing physical activity. However, information on the benefits of physical activity and skills for recommending, motivating, and encouraging patients to increase their levels of physical activity are not part of the routine care or part of the training of most dialysis patient care staff. As a part of the Renal Exercise Demonstration Project, a survey was developed for the dialysis patient care staff to (a) determine their level of knowledge and perceived skills for assessing physical functioning and encouraging exercise, (b) assess their attitudes and practice related to assessment of physical functioning and exercise counseling for their patients, and (c) identify factors that predict encouragement of exercise by patient care staff. A questionnaire was developed using a focus group of several hemodialysis staff members from three dialysis clinics, including registered dietitians (RD), licensed vocational nurses (LVN), registered nurses (RN), and patient care technicians (PCT). This focus group was asked about their experiences (if any) with exercise for their patients, as well as perceptions related to physical functioning and exercise in their patients. Questions were developed and tested in a group of 39 patient care staff from dialysis clinics not involved in the Renal Exercise Demonstration Project (Painter et al., 2000b). The questionnaire asked staff to (a) rate physical functioning, (b) state whether they thought patients could benefit from exercise, (c) assess their skills for and practice of assessing physical limitations and encouraging physical activity, and (d) assess whether they thought such assessment and encouragement were part of their responsibilities and were possible in their daily work routine. The questionnaire also attempted to assess perceptions of patient care staff related to physical activity in their patients (i.e., possible barriers for adoption of exercise). The research design for administration of this baseline questionnaire was cross-sectional and descriptive.

container hire sydney
June 30th, 2009
This is a trade publication for the grape and wine industry, published monthly by the Hiaring Company.
We consider the problem of optimizing the time for loading and unloading containers to and from a ship at a container terminal, where containers are required to be transported by trucks between the ship and their designated locations in the container yard. Generally speaking, a container terminal consists of the quayside, where containers are unloaded from and loaded onto ships, and the container storage yard, where containers are stored. External trucks are responsible for taking containers in and out of a container terminal. Internal trucks are responsible for transporting containers within the terminal, mainly between the container yard and the quayside. When a ship arrives at the terminal, containers are first unloaded from the ship onto the internal trucks by quay cranes. Next, the internal trucks transport the containers to their prespecified locations in the container yard. Upon arrival at the container block, a container is unloaded from the truck by a yard crane. After most of the containers have been unloaded from the ship, the outbound containers are transported from the storage yard to the quayside by those internal trucks and are loaded onto the ship by the quay cranes. Typically, several quay cranes can work in parallel to serve a ship, where each crane is designated to handle one section of the ship. To maximize the efficiency of this operation, it is important to have the turnaround time of the ship minimized. The speed of this loading/unloading operation is limited by the availability of the quay cranes and trucks. A quay crane can handle only one container at a time, and also a truck can normally only transport one container at a time. The yard cranes, on the other hand, have more capacity, and they usually spend their spare time shuffling the containers within a container block so as to reduce the loading/unloading time of the future tasks. Research related to the efficiency of container terminal operations has appeared in the literature. This includes the use of queuing models to study the utilization of container terminal capacity, see for example, Easa (1987), Daganzo (1990), and Gransberg and Basilotto (1998). It also includes the studies of operational issues such as berth allocation (Brown et al., 1997; Li et al., 1998; Lim, 1998), crane movements (Daganzo, 1989; Peterkofsky and Daganzo, 1990; Kim and Kim, 1999), storage allocation (De Castilho and Daganzo, 1993; Kim et al., 2000; Bish et al., 2001; Bish, 2003), and vehicle dispatching (Bostel and Dejax, 1998; Powell and Carvalho, 1998). Recently, Bish et al. (2001) considered a vehicle dispatching problem in a container terminal. In their model, containers are first unloaded from a ship by quay cranes following a prespecified sequence (known as “crane job sequence”). The unloaded containers are transported to their destinations in the container yard by a fleet of identical vehicles, each of which can carry one container at a time. Another set of containers are then transported from the yard by the same set of vehicles and are loaded onto the ship, also following a prespecified sequence. It is assumed that the travel times of vehicles satisfy the triangle inequality. The time that a quay crane needs to load/unload a container is assumed to be the same for all the jobs. The objective is to determine a vehicle schedule so as to minimize the makespan, i.e., the time it takes to complete the entire loading/unloading operation for the ship. They developed optimal and heuristic solution procedures for solving this problem. They performed worst-case analysis as well as computational analysis on their heuristic method for the single quay crane case of the problem. Their computational analysis is further extended to the multiple quay crane case. In this paper, we build on the work of Bish et al. (2001). We relax the assumption that the loading and unloading time of container is the same for all the jobs. In the presence of a single crane, we present an optimal algorithm which is efficient for small problems. For large problems, we provide a lower bound procedure as well as heuristics with favorable worst-case error bound and fast asymptotic convergence. Our analyses for the single crane case are supported by extensive computational experiments on randomly generated problems.

ABSTRACT Workplace bullying is a phenomenon that is attracting increasing interest from researchers throughout the Western world. To date, most of the research into workplace bullying has focused on managers and colleagues as the perpetrators of bullying in the workplace. By contrast, little is known about upwards bullying, where managers are the targets. We argue that in order to more fully understand workplace bullying as a whole, the phenomenon of upwards bullying requires research attention. In the present study, upwards bullying was explored in interviews conducted with 24 managers from public and private organizations, with the data coded and arranged thematically. Results indicate that potential contributing factors towards upwards bullying include the current work environment, change within organizations and power issues. We recommend that organizations identify the occurrence and processes of upwards bullying as important steps in developing comprehensive workplace bullying policies. Keywords: power; upwards bullying; workplace abuse; workplace bullying Despite an increase in research into workplace bullying in recent decades, the major focus has been on downwards bullying with some recent attention on horizontal bullying (Lewis Sheehan 2003). Thus, relatively little is known about managers who are bullied by their staff, a process described as upwards bullying within this paper, and why this form of bullying occurs. While it is legitimate that the predominant focus of research has been on managers as the perpetrators of workplace bullying (British studies have consistently found those in superior positions to be perpetrators of workplace bullying - Zapf, Einarsen, Hoel Vartia 2003), we contend that, in order to fully understand the broad phenomenon of workplace bullying, upwards bullying requires our attention. Such a focus has potential to impact on our theoretical understanding of workplace bullying, and to highlight important recommendations for managers, staff and organizations. Despite limited usage of the term upwards bullying (Lewis Sheehan 2003; McCarthy, Henderson, Sheehan Barker 2002; Rayner Cooper 2003), there does appear to be general agreement in the literature that managers can indeed be the targets of workplace bullying from their staff (e.g. Zapf et al. 2003). For example, Hoel, Cooper and Faragher (2001) found in their study of the impact of organizational status and workplace bullying that 6.7% of respondents had been bullied by staff. Furthermore, prevalence studies into workplace bullying have identified the occurrence of upwards bullying as between 2% and 27%, with a mean of 11% (see Zapf et al. 2003). However, cases of upwards bullying are reported in the literature rarely (Rayner Cooper 2003) and are often presented anecdotally or as single cases (see Braverman 1999, for example).

The Greenhouse Effect is an environmental reality which is now felt even more closely in the daily lives of populations across the planet than ever before. This heat trapping effects of Greenhouse Gases - primarily water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) - trap the heat received from the sun, preventing radiation which is carrying heat in various spectrum bands from dispersing back into space. Though this delicate environmental system had been created with a positive objective of keeping the earths temperature conducive to human existence, the absence of this process would have brought the average temperature on earth to -18[deg] C, instead of the current average of 15[deg]C. The past two decades have, however, seen the increase of GHG Emissions due to human activities and the atmospheric presence of these gases has been projected to be decades to centuries. The Industrial Revolution has contributed to the growth of these GHGs by magnitude proportions. The increased usage of Fossil Fuels in industrial as well as societal applications coupled with the clearing of lands for human usage has led to a loss of forests and wetlands making the ecology incapable of absorbing GHGs to regulate the atmosphere. Some of the earliest initiatives in this regard as taken up by the UN in May 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) drew up a structure for dealing with the challenges posed to human sustenance by climate change. This framework is known as the Kyoto Protocol, which is an international treaty that demands strict committed emission controls from industrialized nations and overall limit on global GHG emissions. The strongest opposition in complying with this treaty has come from the US which sees this treaty as an erosion of its industrial competitive advantages in progressing the entire industry to these standards.

Abstract: This article presents the inclusion of parents in hypnotherapy with children. Understanding the process helps parents to better support and reinforce the childs desired changes. Also mentioned is the need to prepare children prior to the session to eliminate anxiety. This knowledge provides a more relaxed and focused experience in session. The examples given of using hypnotherapy with children support the conclusion that hypnotherapy is a valuable technique to implement to have children remain focused, recall memories, identify core issues, change behaviors, and access a deep level of healing. In this article I share my experiences of using Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy with children. I discuss what information to share with parents when suggesting the use of hypnotherapy with their child, and how to prepare the child for the hypnotherapy session. I then give examples of how hypnotherapy helps children remain focused, recall memories, identify core issues, change behaviors, and access a deep level of healing. When approaching parents with the idea of using hypnotherapy with their child, I briefly explain the hypnotherapy process. During the discussion with parents and children, it is important to use words that would be most familiar to them. For example, I substitute “guided imagery” for “induction.” While discussing the session with parents, I mention the likelihood of the child needing to release stored energy. I explain some of the possible tools the child may use to release this energy, such as an “energy release hose” and punching bag. I have found it better to explain this before the session rather than after. Once, after a session, a young child told his parent how good it felt to hit a punching bag with a hose. This parent was upset at first, but after explaining the rationale behind getting the child to release his pent up energy the parent was accepting. However, explaining it beforehand could have eliminated the parents immediate misconception of her child being “out of control.” If after explaining the hypnotherapy process the parent still feels unsure, I may offer the parent an opportunity to do the “guided imagery” segment with the child. I have found it reassuring for parents to experience the self-control the child will have during and after the session.

SAN FRANCISCO — Studio 211, a leading San Francisco hair studio specializing in hair extensions, today announced the availability of a new hair extension application method for fine, thin or damaged hair. The recently opened studio now offers its clients a thermoplastic tube application method that further protects the hair and ultimately boosts the clients self esteem. The new state-of-the-art method is a thermoplastic bonding technique originally designed by NASA engineers for use on the space shuttle to hold wiring together. Studio 211 uses this technology to attach extension hair strands to the clients hair at the base of the scalp. This high-tech method bonds extremely tightly actually hugging the hair without the use of glues or adhesives. “Clients with fine, weak and/or damaged hair can improve and strengthen their hair with the use of extensions,” said Giacomo of Studio 211. “This particular new technique uses a thermoplastic tube that shrinks once applied to the clients hair giving it an extremely strong attachment capability without damaging the hair with any kind of adhesive.” Studio 211 specializes in working with problem hair. Hair extensions add volume, strength and even highlights and color without further compromising the health of the hair by using harsh chemicals and coloring. Not only can hair extensions add thickness, body and coverage to clients with problem hair but the additional hair also protects the hair, giving it added strength. A clients hair with extensions does not break as easily and isnt as brittle or flyaway. The new thermoplastic bonding technique uses minute cylinders that are visually undetectable and allows the studio to apply extensions without glues thus further protecting their clients hair.

Catherine Matheson [*] NAVAJO FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES In the United States, many have come to believe that families and family involvement are the most important factors in supporting children with disabilities. Families exist within an ecocultural environment that is complex and powerful, and it is within the family context that development in all its forms begins and is nurtured. We cannot understand what family involvement means without understanding the culture of families and the informal systems that families use to adapt and operate. In this chapter, the example of Navajo families with children with disabilities underscores and shows in high relief the heavy reliance on cultural support for families that is part of any family system. As early-intervention and family support programs continue to grow in the United States, we need to understand and sustain those benefits of indigenous systems that provide support and relief to families even as we seek to engage families in the use of supports that may be offered by private and public agencies. Two complementary systems operate to fulfill the needs of Navajo and other American families who have children with disabilities: one is the indigenous adaptive system and the other is the public health system that has been established nationally in the United States with local options. One example is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 1997), parts B and C, providing early intervention, preschool, and school-age services. The indigenous system was in existence long before the IDEA, but has not been recognized as such. Both systems attempt to increase the well-being of families, but because all adaptive systems have a cost, neither system is totally benign. Each system extracts some payment for the benefits it provides. When discussing costs, our intent is not so much to point out financial costs, which are often involved, but to show that costs to families can be more subtle, such as the erosion of family responsibility and satisfaction with the efforts the family makes on behalf of the child with a disability. Thus, in the Navajo sample, families identified medical disabilities and sought help for medical problems from professionals but were sometimes unable to resolve their anxiety until they involved spiritual services or indigenous healing practices. Conversely, Navajo families did not identify learning disorders in the preschool age group that we interviewed. Learning and language disabilities were primarily identified by professionals and schools, who in turn sometimes found families apprehensive and reluctant to adopt an active role in early-intervention efforts that they had not sought themselves.
laser treatments

The Laser Institute of America (LIA) (Orlando, FL) offers an online training course that addresses the concepts and basic safety concerns involved with laser applications. The course, Industrial Lasers and Safety Online Training, provides an overview of industrial laser processes, teaches laser fundamentals and terminology necessary for a complete understanding of current laser safety information, and discusses industrial laser accidents and preventive control measures.
The laser industry is poised for substantial growth, reports Frost Sullivan (Mountain View, CA). Global demand for industrial laser systems should grow from $1.2 billion in 1992 to more than $2 billion by the end of the decade. Major technical trends include higher power for sealed carbon dioxide (CO^sub^2) laser systems and Nd:YAG laser systems, new crystals for tunable solid-state laser systems, blue diode lasers with output near 623 nm, and 193 nm excimer lasers for industrial applications. These new laser technologies are replacing existing laser systems as well as other manufacturing techniques. Examples include using tunable solidstate lasers instead of dye lasers and diode lasers in place of helium neon (HeNe) laser systems. In related news, the US Department of Energys Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne, IL), operated by the University of Chicago, and Spawr Industries (Lake Havasu City, AZ), a specialist in high-power laser technology, are partners in a twoyear project to improve lenses and mirrors to shape laser beams for industrial use. The cooperative RD agreement also may improve laser thermal simulation in testing components found in jet engines and particle accelerators for their ability to withstand heat. The projects primary focus is improving Spawrs radiometric power meter for high-energy lasers. The conventional measurement method takes 10 sec to absorb the total laser beam; the Spawr instrument measures laser power in one second by sampling a known fraction of the laser light and has a wider application range. Additional research areas include improving coatings for Spawrs laser dump to handle high-power density laser beams. The dump absorbs laser energy while a beam is tuned for a specific application. An example of Nd:YAG lasers displacing conventional processing comes from the Raycon Laser Group (Ann Arbor, MI), developers of a flexible system for laser scribing and drilling powder-metal (PM) connecting rods. Two stress risers (the starting points for fracture splitting the lower crankshaft journal bore from the upper journal bore) are created by producing V-shaped notches 180 degreesapart in the crank bore. The rods-consisting of carbon copper, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, chromium, nickel, oxygen, and iron-offer greater precision performance, improved weight accuracy over conventional metal rods, and reduced manufacturing costs. Prior scribing methods-broaching the Vshaped notch or producing it with a forging die-required higher forces to split the rods. The laser scribing process begins at the bottom of the journal surface and moves upward to blow slag through the kerf. The inside journal surface is mounted at 45 degreesto the beam to allow for nozzle clearance. Kerf width is between 0.008 and 0.010″ (0.20 and 0.25 mm), and depth is 0.020-0.030″ (0.51-0.76 mm). Feed rate, which affects kerf depth and the slag buildup, is 60 ipm (1524 mm/ min). To help produce a clean scribe, oxygen assistance at 70 psi (480 kPa) and a high-power YAG at 120 W also are used. According to Raycon, the force required to fracture a laser scribe stress riser is only 3000-8000 lb (13 500-35 500 N), whereas the force required for a broach scribe is 18,000 lb (80 000 N). The V-shape method is economical because it reduces the stages of manufacturing, increases the load-bearing capability of the part, and produces a perfect fit between the rod and cap.

The Internet is now used at home by 68% of UK adults — a penetration
rate that continues to climb several percentage points each year
(although some signs of market saturation are appearing). The fact that
68% of those adults who use the Internet go online at least once a day
shows how quickly the World Wide Web has become part of everyday life in
the typical UK household. This first edition of UK Internet Market
focuses on consumer, rather than business, use of the Internet; among
those adults who use the Internet, 93% do so at home, whereas only 32%
do so in the workplace.
Although the concept of an Internet originated in the 1960s and reached
mass-market status in the 1990s, the 2000s have brought significant
improvements in the Internet experience for the consumer: fast broadband
connections, interactive Web 2.0 technologies, and remote access using
portable computerised devices (e.g. mobile phones).
E-mail is used by 87% of those with domestic Internet access, but
communicating through websites — particularly social networking
websites such as Facebook and MySpace — has become very popular. The
rise of social networking in the 2000s has been remarkable, leading to
the acquisition — at a high cost — of several leading websites by global
media giants.
