A consumer publication devoted to personal finance. Provides Canadians with coverage and analysis of personal finance issues.
In her book, In Fairness to Future Generations: International Law, Common Patrimony, and Intergenerational Equity, Professor Edith Brown Weiss describes a theory of intergenerational equity in which: As we begin a new millenium, it is no mystery that human demands on Earths natural systems have reached unsustainable levels, resulting in environmental trends such as “population growth, rising temperature, falling water tables, shrinking croplands per person, collapsing fisheries, shrinking forests, and the loss of plant and animal species.” (2) Vast improvements in technology, proven to be a mixed blessing, account for part of the problem. The global economy also plays a significant role: the market, although “a remarkably efficient device for allocating resources and for balancing supply and demand. does not respect the sustainable yield thresholds of natural systems.” (3) If we do not want to pass the point of no return and head towards ecological disaster, we must develop a policy ethic sensitive to the “basic features of the natural world: we will never understand it completely, it will not do our bidding for free, and we cannot put it back the way it was.” (4) Equally important, we must alter the way we view the global economy and find new ways to finance projects to protect what has not yet been destroyed. Conservation trust funds are one financing mechanism that has been recently employed, building on lessons learned from other models in the areas of conservation and development. Conservation trust funds are well suited to conserving natural resources due to their long time frame, their stable and enduring structure, and their ability to build local capacity in order to sustain it independent of outside agencies. As Professor Weiss points out, “[t]he basic principle of intergenerational equity requires that the present generation compensate future generations for the costs that it imposes on them for its own use of the planet and natural and cultural resources.” (5) This is precisely what conservation trust funds set out to do. This article will discuss the origins of the trust fund concept and the development of trust funds in the context of conservation. It will highlight the basic principles that should be taken into consideration and the issues to be addressed in designing the framework of a trust fund. Finally, this article will describe concrete steps to developing and implementing a trust fund, and relate through specific case studies some of the lessons learned from past experiences.

The report “Vietnam Automobile Industry Forecast (2007-2010)” highlights the present scenario of Vietnam automobile in context of the South-East Asia automobile industry. The Vietnam automobile industrys production, sales, and import statistics have been covered to figure out the past and future trends, supplemented with forecasting of overall automobiles sales by segment, where motorcycle segment is taken separately due to its large size. The report has rationally analyzed the key driving factors, opportunities, and challenges for the Vietnam automobile industry. Worldwide automobile industry is growing at a rapid pace as many countries are going through the phase of economic development. And the same scenario is applicable for Vietnam too in South-East Asia. Vietnam automobile industry was loosing track till 2005 but it recovered in the year 2006 and posted a good growth rate in South-East Asian countries. Changing lifestyle and rising spending in automobile-related parts in Vietnam has propelled the growth of automobile industry in the country. Apart from that, Vietnams entry to WTO has made the conditions favorable for foreign manufactures as the Vietnamese government has reduced the auto-component import tax in 2006. Though Vietnam was more of a motorcycle-oriented country in past years, its passenger car segment witnessed a good growth after Vietnam joined WTO. Rising income and flexible bank loan structure has incited the growth in passenger car segment.
Automobile Production - Future Trends Though the present day automobiles have travelled a long distance since the first motorized vehicle appeared on the road about a hundred years ago the concept and system of automobile production has generally remained the same. After about a century, basic changes are taking place in the very concept of the automobile and its system of production. Automobile production in future will be quite different from that of the last hundred years. As such, if existing automobile business are not adapted to the requirements of the future they would soon be history. If the future is inevitable it is imperative to prepare for it in time. Some of the special characteristics of automobile production in the future will be: - Automobile Features: Management, marketing, production and all other business related activities in the automobile industry must cater to its demand characteristics. Some of the important features of the automobiles of the future would be as follows: - Improved Performance: Performance in respect of driving, reliability, speed and stability would improve enormously during the next few decades. The automobiles of the future would rarely have any performance complaints and if any develop the same would be immediately identified and corrected within a short time.

On June 6; 1947, the CO acquired some 9,447 box cars from the then-merged Pere Marquette fleet of freight cars. In doing so it ended up with new car numbers. We have been led to believe that these “new” Chesapeake Ohio car number equalled the number “2″ in front of the “old” Pere Marquette number: well, not always. The automobile industry, and General Motors in particular, was one of the PM Districts biggest customers. The CO needed automobile parts cars for shipping between supplier plants and assembly plants. As these assigned cars were modified, the mechanical department, continuing in the PMs tradition, agreed to designate numbers in the CO 254000 through CO 260127 range for automobile parts and other special cars. It appears that many older cars in the PM 54000-60066 series would just fade away and might not ever get renumbered. The freight car photographs that were recently uncovered are of the CO 254400-254460 series. They were modified and renumbered from cars in PM series 82000-83499 in mid-1949. The car series was later expanded to 71 cars ending with CO 254470. These cars serviced the GM parts and assembly plants in Flint and Saginaw, Michigan (regrettably, the pool name on the doors is illegible). Also in 1949, five other PM 82000-series were assigned to automotive parts service. They were assigned to a new, short-lived series: CO 258000258004. The remaining PM 82000-series cars began to fade out of the PM roster and into the CO roster as CO 282000-283499. Limited numbers of ex-PM cars, however, did carry PM reporting marks and numbers (therefore, it would not be strange to see both PM 82000 and corresponding CO numbers from the same or similar series in a yard together). The total number of PM and renumbered ex-PM 82000 series cars together remained relatively constant up until the late 1950s. Many were, however, reassigned back to general or new special uses (see the authors comments in the table on page 8) . Their totals started to dive in the mid-1960s, but a few stayed around into 1974, and one even survived until 1983. A table detailing the chronology of these roster changes, plus PM-era and later CO photographs of these cars, are provided at the end of this article.

bonds

Filed under: Uncategorized — at 4:42 am

In most areas of chemistry, a bond represents an electronic association between two atoms. When drawing bonds, therefore, it is important to be unambiguous about (a) the nature of the electronic association–is the bond in question a single bond, double bond, or a bond of some other order–and (b) which two atoms it joins. Other types of bonding are also possible, including coordination bonds, which are discussed in GR-1.7. The use of bonds to represent configuration (e.g., using hashes and wedges) is discussed in a separate document [6]. Within a given structure, most bonds should be drawn using a single consistent length. The length used for bonds should be long enough so that the bond is clearly visible between two atoms or atom labels; spacing between atoms that is less than twice as long as the height of an atom label should be avoided. Exceptions are certainly allowed, however, and are commonly seen in bridged polycyclic systems and sterically congested structures (including diagrams that depict atoms with high coordination numbers).

HOLMDEL, N.J. — Summer lawns take a beating, with scorching temperatures and outdoor games causing bare patches and brown spots, and fall is the optimal time to get it back in shape so it can be enjoyed for another season. According an EPA national home and garden survey, homeowners spend about $40 billion to improve damaged lawns and maintain a lush appearance. Lawn Doctor, the nations leading expert in lawn care since 1967, says homeowners can enjoy a healthier fall lawn and lay the groundwork for next summers lawn by following a few simple steps now to save money, time and energy in the spring. * Fertilize - This critical step feeds your lawn and helps it grow. Fertilizing also allows your lawn to store as much food as possible before going dormant for the winter. A properly fed lawn will recover more easily the following spring. * Seed - To fill in a thin lawn or bare spots, add seed. Use a professional power seeding service for faster results and spend your personal time enjoying the cooler temperatures. * Aerate - Aeration allows your lawn to increase its uptake of nutrients and oxygen. This is essential to revive your lawn after common summer stresses such as high temperatures and lack of moisture. Aerating also combats compaction that may have occurred from all that summer foot traffic.

BOSTON — In response to relentless, shameful attacks on the defense bar and its constitutional function, the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers today released the following statement: The Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers objects to statements made in the current campaign for governor suggesting that persons who perform the constitutionally mandated role of attorney for the defense in criminal cases are unfit for or disqualified from public office. John Adams, our second president, and Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, were each proud of their service as criminal defense lawyers. They properly understood it and revered it as an important contribution to the public good. No one in 1796, 1860 or 2006 can claim that such service in any way disqualified Adams or Lincoln from holding our highest office. An assertion that todays criminal defense counsel have acted contrary to the public interest and should not be trusted to serve in government is un-American and demonstrates either a profound contempt for, or ignorance of, our system of governance. The right to jury trial, the only right twice guaranteed in our Constitution, is the purest form of democracy - the people, as a jury, govern. Our jury system requires zealous prosecution and defense, confident that citizen jurors will do their human best to arrive at a just verdict.

Making a decision about cosmetic surgery can be a daunting one, and potential patients need help deciding if cosmetic surgery is right for them. If they do opt for surgery, they seek a guarantee that the surgery is performed in a safe setting. Local plastic surgeon and medical director of La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, R. Merrel Olesen, M.D., and his wife, Marie, have co-authored “Cosmetic Surgery For Dummies[R]”–one of the series of “For Dummies” books by Wiley Publishing. It contains direct and intelligent information about the various cosmetic surgery procedures and treatments available today and serves as a guide for potential cosmetic surgery patients. In a consumer-friendly style, “Cosmetic Surgery For Dummies” helps potential patients define a shopping process, just as they would to buy a car or another significant purchase. It helps patients narrow their choices so they choose the best doctor for themselves and for the procedure they are considering. Additionally helpful, the book includes many stories and photos of actual patients. While surgical results are very important, Dr. Olesen also urges prospective patients to look for signs of warmth and caring in prospective doctors and their staff. “Patients dont want to feel like just another case, rather than a person. They need to find a surgeon they like and trust,” said Dr. Olesen Writing this book involved many of La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre staff. Surgeons Lori Salz, Michael Roark, Robert Kearney and Johan Brahme all contributed significantly to the information about plastic surgery.

WANT TO HANG YOUR shingle from home in New Jersey? As in other states, youd better check your local zoning laws first. Of the 566 municipalities in the Garden State, it seems that no two have the same rules regarding home-based businesses. Three years ago, in response to lobbying by home-business organizations, state leaders sought to provide a statewide baseline of allowable home businesses. As a result, the New Jersey Legislature is now considering a pair of competing bills. One, the Home-Based Business Promotion Act, sponsored by Assemblyman Joseph Azzolina, would allow any home business to operate without regulation as long as its not detectable from the outside. A competing bill from Assemblyman Joel Weingarten would restrict home-based business activity to teleworking and telephone- or computer-based jobs. Opponents of Azzolinas bill–namely, the State League of Municipalities–claim it thwarts “home rule,” or the ability of cities to write their own laws. They say the bills language is vague and that it opens neighborhoods up to manufacturing and retailing without restriction on customer or employee visits. “Its just too radical and goes too far,” says Stuart Koenig, senior assistant counsel to the league. “Were very reluctant to open the door to businesses that can create harm in residential neighborhoods.”

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–March 4, 1999–The Marquee Group, Inc. (AMEX: MRT) today announced that it mailed its proxy statement on February 12, 1999 for the special meeting to vote on whether to adopt the merger agreement whereby SFX Entertainment, Inc has agreed to acquire The Marquee Group, Inc. The date, time and place of the special meeting are: March 16, 1999, 10:00 a.m., 888 Seventh Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, NY 10019. If the merger is completed, SFX will issue to Marquee stockholders shares of SFX Class A common stock in exchange for their shares of Marquee stock. For each share of Marquee stock owned on the day of the merger, Marquee stockholders will receive 0.1111 of a share of SFX Class A common stock, except that if the SFX stock price is more than $42.75, then Marquee stockholders will receive $4.75 to $5.35 worth of SFX stock for each share of Marquee stock. The SFX stock price that will be used to calculate this exchange ratio will be the average of the last reported sale price of the SFX Class A common stock for the 15 trading days ending 5 trading days before the merger.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–July 23, 1998–SFX Entertainment, Inc.(NASDAQ: SFXE) and The Marquee Group (AMEX: MRT) today jointly announced that SFX has agreed to acquire Marquee in a stock merger transaction valued at approximately $100 million. The Marquee Group provides integrated event management, television production, marketing, talent representation and consulting services in the sports, news and entertainment industries. It is expected that senior management of Marquee will enter into new employment contracts with SFX. For each share of Marquee common stock, Marquee shareholders will receive $6.00 of SFX Entertainment Class A stock, subject to adjustment. For this purpose, SFX stock will be valued at the average closing price for the fifteen consecutive trading days ending five days prior to the mergers effective date. In the event that the SFX average price exceeds $57.50, the exchange ratio will be adjusted ratably to provide incremental value to a maximum of $6.30 per Marquee share. The transaction has received the approval of both the SFX and Marquee Boards of Directors and the independent committee of the Marquee Board which was created to evaluate any such transaction. A meeting of Marquee shareholders will be called to vote on the transaction as soon as practicable. The closing of the transaction will be subject to several conditions, including shareholder approval, expiration of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period, and the consummation by Marquee of certain anticipated transactions. It is expected that the merger will be consummated in 1998. Commenting on the transaction, Robert F. X. Sillerman, Executive Chairman of SFX Entertainment, Inc., said, “We are very pleased to announce this important strategic acquisition. We began our entry into the sports arena with our acquiring David Falks FAME organization, which we completed less than a month ago. The addition of Marquee now provides us with a full complement of sports marketing services. Marquee has incredible breadth in its involvement across diverse sports including tennis, hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, golf, football and horse racing; and it has an integrated approach to adding many elements of value for its clients through event management, promotion, production, consulting, naming rights, and talent representation. The well-established marketing and promotional capabilities demonstrated by all of these activities will be the perfect addition to the ever-expanding SFX product line of live entertainment events, and we will be able to access a wider variety of corporate clients who already have shown their commitment to the value of promotion in the setting of live event presentation. We have spoken before about the diminishing boundary between sports and entertainment, and we expect to be both drivers and beneficiaries of this rapidly evolving process as we link the tremendous power of these two enterprises.” Robert M. Gutkowski, Marquees President and Chief Executive Officer, added, “This is a great development for the future of The Marquee Group. We have already made substantial progress in building a fully integrated sports marketing company, and we expect that this process of growth, both domestically and internationally, will now be accelerated and enhanced by our combination with SFX. Its resources will provide us with the capacity to take advantage of many additional opportunities which we have already identified to grow our business, and its extensive marketing activities will further inform and improve our own efforts on behalf of our clients and enhance our product line of promotional vehicles. We already have significant interest in the live entertainment field, and fully understand the similarities and combined strengths of the sports and live entertainment businesses. We look forward to a prosperous future together.” SFX Entertainment is a leading promoter, producer and venue operator for live entertainment events.

Leading Home Improvement Retailer Implements JDA’s Transportation
Logistics Management Solutions to Improve Overall Transportation
Capabilities

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — JDA®
Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) announced today that leading
home improvement retailer based in Mooresville, N.C., Lowe’s
Companies Inc., is in the final phases of upgrading the cutting-edge
JDA Transportation
Logistics Management solutions throughout its global

Lowe’s began utilizing JDA’s Transportation Logistics Management

all-inclusive platform to support the complexity of its import
operations.

“With the growth of our import business, we found the need to obtain a

operations,” explained Steve Palmer, vice president of
transportation, Lowe’s. “As we evaluated various vendors we soon
realized that JDA could best support this business objective.”

Since the late 1980s, the increased turnover and exposure associated with payment settlements has led to a stronger focus on risk and to major changes in the organisation of payment systems, both nationally and internationally. In order to reduce settlement risk, standards were introduced for net settlements. The most important of these is the Lamfalussy standard (BIS 1990)2) . Net settlements must satisfy six recommendations concerning legal, organisational, liquidity and operational conditions in order to be regarded as protected net settlements according to this standard. In the Trundle Report (BIS 1999 and 2001) these recommendations have been made more specific and expanded to the ten BIS Core Principles for Systemically Important Payment Systems. The Trundle recommendations encompass both gross and net settlements and also contain recommendations concerning the central banks role in the payment system and responsibility for the implementation of the core principles. Central to both Lamfalussy and Trundle recommendations is the requirement that it must be possible to make a settlement even if the bank with the largest net debit position lacks cover. The principle is that settlement execution should be assured by the other participants supplying liquidity on behalf of the illiquid participant (collective guarantee). The amount of liquidity individual participants have to supply will tend to depend on the size of the bilateral credit lines they have given the bank that cannot meet its commitments. It must be assumed that in principle a bank will not provide lines of credit that cause it to have problems meeting its own commitments. However, the possibility of more than one participant failing cannot be excluded. In such cases, even protected net settlements may involve too great a risk. In consequence it is recommended that real time gross settlement (RTGS) be used for large-value payments.

new movie trailers

Filed under: Uncategorized — at 6:09 am

One of the best parts of going to the movies is seeing the trailers for upcoming releases. At their best, trailers are micro-movies in themselves, distilling the 100 minutes of a feature into two or three minutes. Trailers are often better than the movies they advertise.
The new movie trailers channel features the top up-and-coming international movie trailers. Every month special features and large upcoming releases will be featured to ensure viewers can preview the top movie trailers from around the world. Movie trailers from large movie studios and independent studios are available for viewing. Searchforvideo aggregates and indexes movie trailers through relationships with online video providers as well as using advanced search technology to uncover movie trailers from various sites across the web. Searchforvideo provides one of the most comprehensive video search experiences on the Internet. In addition to expanded movie trailer coverage, there will be several new channels coming online in the next few months providing enhanced coverage of popular media categories.
Fayman had scored a few trailers in the 1980s and they sent those tracks out to the local trailer houses as a calling card. Trailer house Aspect Ratio hired the two to score a few and the “trailer” door opened. Then something unexpected occurred: an editor at Aspect wanted to use a track from their demo tape and asked if it could be licensed. “With that, the whole phenomena of licensing music was ignited for us,” recalls Goren. “We realized that we could just keep writing music designed specifically for trailers, and editors could just drop that into their projects. We could write what we wanted and hopefully that stuff would license, and thats what happened.” Still, Goren and Fayman initially looked at this opportunity as a stepping stone to score feature films. “But we soon realized that we were able to write the kind of music we loved without having to be involved with a particular project,” Goren explains. “With trailers, we could write the thematic elements that for us are the best part of film scoring. Its a big sound with big productions and music thats really over-the-top, and its fun to work in that environment. We have friends that are film composers and its not a bed of roses. We dont have to wrestle with a few cello notes lingering in the background of a scene. Our stuff is right out there.”

Nicholas Brown. Utopian Generations: The Political Horizon of Twentieth Century Literature. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. 1 + 235 pp. $26.95 In Utopian Generations: The Political Horizon of Twentieth Century Literature, Nicholas Brown proposes to refashion the relative literary and political positions occupied by modernism and postcolonial African literature. For Brown, Marxism illuminates the political vicissitudes of modernisms appropriation and subjection of the labor of African literature to the evaluative modes of literary theory as a final product of capital. Modernisms self-satisfaction and commoditization of the raw material and labor supplied by African literature, as well as African literatures often willing reconstitution of itself as eventual capital in a postcolonial market, get rectified in a utopian totality. There is an inverse relationship between utopias decline and the flowering of literary theory, all of which Brown argues is a historically causal effect of postcolonialism and consequently capitalism–of Hegels anthropological history. As Brown says, utopias totality hinges on “neither a literary history nor abstract universal history but on each texts relation to history itself” (3). Hegels emphasis on history serves as the utopic pretext under which both the modernist and African literary traditions realize their full meaning insofar as analyses of respective works in these traditions become structurally dialectic antimonies, each one deficient in political efficacy without the other. Capitalisms dialectical contradictions produce a social totality and reveal a utopian desire which Brown attempts to unveil in the complementarity of modernist and postcolonial texts such as the work of James Joyce and Chinua Achebe. Probing the essentially deconstructive agonism and rhetorical codependence of these literary genres certainly requires textual sensitivity and a skillful application of pre-existing theoretical modes. As textual analysis, Browns argument is distinguishable from his broader theoretical and political claims of a reinvigorated utopianism. Browns detailed reading of African literature, particularly Ngugi wa Thiongos play “I Will Marry When I Want” (1976) and Pepetelas A Geracao da Utopia (1993), is insightful, but its political significance and counterpoint to modernism may not engender the profitable new interpretive field Brown imagines–what he refers to as a sort of negative utopia. That is, Brown presumes a reading of Marx and Hegel unique enough to maintain a utopian framework sans any traditional positive thrust. A political and literary dialectic operates according to a negation which history and time, the full weight of historical dialectic, transform into a becoming-conscious of a positive vision of utopianism. History is, for Hegel, the transformative process of totality of negation into totality as utopic–the conflation of teleological ends with a contingent past in a total utopian moment. Brown readily confesses that history is a launching-off point for his supposed innovative notion of a negative utopia defined by an ephemeral space against which less violative assessments of modernism and African literature are made. If so, it is troublesome to maintain that the conclusion does not closely follow from the premise; and yet this is the crux of the political and literary work Brown envisions for utopia.

Business Editors, Health/Medical Writers drugstore.com, inc. (Nasdaq: DSCM), the leading Internet retailer for health, beauty and wellness products, today distributed the first edition of a new monthly Health and Beauty Index that measures trends and attitudes of the US population reflected by their health, beauty, and wellness purchases. The index highlights the top product category gainers of the month based on the transactions of drugstore.com(TM) shoppers. The drugstore.com(TM) Web store has served over 2.8 million customers to date.
Ever wonder why were all so hung up on beauty–why its important to both men and women, no matter our race or place in the world, and why people across different cultures have similar ideals? “There are evolutionary roots to beauty,” explains psychologist Nancy Etcoff, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and author of Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty. “Essentially, beauty is a biological advertisement of health.” In other words, people are attracted to visible signs of good health like clear skin, shiny hair and rosy cheeks because these were the clues our ancestors used to determine whether someone would make a good mate. These days, the natural signs of beauty are easily enhanced. The perfect-hued lipstick and blush, for example, impart a healthy glow, and the right moisturizers can keep your complexion soft. Improving on natures gifts is anything but vanity; Etcoff explains that beautifying yourself is simply another form of self-care. “More and more, people are viewing their health and their looks as being united. Its not simply putting on makeup or getting your hair done–its taking care of yourself and your body.” All the more reason to care for your skins specific needs, When you find a makeup look thats just right for your age, attitude and complexion, the beauty/health connection is confirmed. Here, three experts–makeup artists Sue Devitt, Bobbi Brown and Carol Shaw–offer advice on creating a look thats right for you. Though its impossible to hold back the clock forever, the common beauty goal for women in their late 20s: and early 30s is stalling time for another few years–and with the right makeup, enhancing the glow that already exists, explains Sue Devitt.

Laser deposition welding is said to be the answer to the wearing of expensive tools or design changes just before production starts. The TruLaser Station 5004 laser workstation with integrated TruPulse 156 solid-state laser for deposition laser welding with wire (made by Trumpf, Laser GmbH; Ditzingen, Germany) was shown for the first time at the recent EuroMold 2007 show in Frankfurt, Germany. For deposition laser welding with powder, the company offers the TruLaser Station 5010 with the new DepositionLine technology package. It reportedly can be converted to manual wire buildup welding with little effort. Deposition laser welding, also called Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), is a generative laser process in which metal is built up in layers on existing tools and components. This laser-based welding procedure offers a lower-cost way to make small modifications or design changes to the end produrt and for correcting processing faults. Volume buildup can be used to com-. pensate for failures, achieve specified nominal dimensions, and make old components useable again. The material characteristics and load capacity of the original component are retained, and the durability of the repaired form is comparable to that of a newly made mold insert. One new aspect of the TruLaser Station 5004 is that all linear motions are performed by the laser beam while the workpiece remains stationary. This change makes it possible to weld with great precision with long travel distances and high workpiece weight. The system has a footprint of less than 1.5 m^sup 2^. Lasers with outputs up to 150W and vacuum extraction are integrated. The system has an integrated microscope, and laser parameters can be displayed in the users field of vision in the microscope. The control system, which simultaneously addresses three linear axes and an optional rotational axis, allows three processing types: manual welding and setup, guided welding with supplementary wire, and automatic NC welding without additional material. New TruPulse lasers can be moved using conventional machine rollers. All machines up to 150 W average laser power are available with a water/air or a water/water heat exchanger. The removeable operator panel allows simple handling of the new laser control system, and is said to allow the welder to change laser parameters literally with a single motion of the hand or a finger.

Abstract. The aim of this work was to estimate the effectiveness of the renovation work that was carried out in 63 Lithuanian schools by disclosing the main renovation works, analysing changes in the amount of the energy used for the heating after renovation. Reduction of the windows area with shields, replacement of old doors and windows with the new ones were the most frequent renovation works in the tested schools. 52 % of respondents indicated condensation on windows after the renovation work. The indoor temperature of the schools increased from 15 [degrees]C to 18 [degrees]C. Also, the energy consumptions for the heating of the schools was lowered by 17 % in schools with district heating system and by 22 % in schools with local boiler house. Keywords: evaluation of renovation works, energy savings, school buildings. Many Lithuanian school buildings were constructed during the Soviet period, some even earlier. Most of these buildings have problems such as an excessive energy use for heating, windows that are not airtight when closed, defects in the external walls, moisture damage, indoor microclimate parameters which do not correspond to the hygienic norms etc. As the most of energy is consumed for the heating buildings, this point seems to be very important in respect of energy savings. Indoor air quality (IAQ), ventilation, an increased concentration of carbon dioxide (C[O.sub.2]) and other contaminants, relative humidity (RH) as well as the thermal conditions inside the classrooms should be a matter of substance. Renovation work has been undertaken in school buildings in the last twelve years. A lot of organisational and technical problems arose together with this process.

Luxury Car Service Provider Offers Chauffeur Direct Program to Connect Clients with their Personal Driver BOSTON — Commonwealth Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation, a global leader in luxury business and leisure chauffeured transportation; today announced the launch of a new program giving clients direct access to their chauffeur. With the new Chauffeur Direct program, an email is sent to the clients mobile device 15 minutes prior to pickup, notifying the client exactly where the vehicle is waiting for them, as well as the chauffeurs name and cell phone number. With this feature, clients can find their vehicle amongst the congestion of the other cabs and limos without wasting any valuable time. Chauffeur Direct messages are transmitted to the booker and the passenger to ensure a smooth transition from plane or office to the waiting luxury car service. This prevents any confusion due to last-minute changes beyond Commonwealth Worldwides control, such as airport security altering the limo pickup area. Chauffeur Direct messages can be sent to any computer, cell phone, PDA, or other device that supports email. “When youre traveling for business, every minute is precious,” said Dawson Rutter, President of Commonwealth Worldwide. “Were always looking for innovative ways to make our clients journey smoother. Chauffeur Direct ensures that our clients can quickly connect with their driver and be on their way in comfort and style.”

A few days later, the Chauffeur begins his circuit through the villages north and east of Quebec City, and Maries troupe follows him for much of the route. Meanwhile, the bibliobus transforms into a vehicle of discovery. The Chauffeurs random placement of books on the shelves and his lenient borrowing policies encourage otherwise isolated people to broaden their horizons through reading. Marie also rides in the bookmobile between her troupes shows to discover the untamed beauty of eastern Quebec, and to explore her emotions for the Chauffeur.The troupes appearances throughout the text provide a playful counterbalance to the Chauffeurs meetings with patrons, but they serve principally as the source of narrative tension. Marie acknowledges her love for Slim, the tightrope artist, though she admits a profound attraction to the Chauffeur, As the journey progresses, she and the Chauffeur discover that they like not only the same books, but the same passages. She also spends more time in the bibliobus, yet even after some amorous moments, the distance of the formal vous never disappears. The Chauffeur also does not tell the patrons of his intentions to leave the route after this tournee. By the end of the novel the reader wonders whether Marie will in fact return to France, and whether the Chauffeur will come out of retirement for the tournee dautomne of the title. The text closes where it began, by the Saint Lawrence River, with the answer to the two questions.As with other Poulin novels, the style of La tournee d automne is both understated and enchanting. Amusing appearances by Jack Waterman (from Volkswagen Blues) and the occasional hungry cat punctuate the novels bittersweet tone. Through the developing relationship and the bibliobus, Poulin is able to link two normally opposite activities: discovery of the outdoors and the exploration of the written word.
