Sample Letter For Volunteer Work Confirmation




Last night I watched the conjunction between Jupiter and Mercury. Conjunction improper because 'the planets do not overlap, but they are very close, and this helps to find Mercury, always as' elusive' cause always immersed in light of the sunset (or sunrise as appropriate), at best, or totally invisible, in other cases.
To be sure, yesterday I could not see Mercury, but in pictures and 'I can see it' cause the camera has an "eye" more 'precise and sensitive in these cases. The photos and

Firefox slow? Buy a pair of shoes


Today firefox decided to slow down. The launch and he takes off after three minutes. A bit 'too much to say, even if one has a lot of patience.
Uhmmm ...
Well, after thinking a bit 'I tried to disable all add-ons (Google toolbar, Adblock ...) and the problem' disappeared. Then I have some components removed, others have rehabilitated and all continued to function perfectly.
This post, therefore, only to say: if firefox "crazy" could be guilty of an add-on. Try disabling it and then maybe work out.

Can Beer Bottles Be Recapped



As sometimes happens to me to choose the shoes and then realize that they are not "perfect", and given that it sometimes bothers me particularly, I thought to write down some notes to keep in mind when the ' purchase. And it 'coming off a list more' long about what I expected. I try to share even if in itself 'the list seems a bit' obvious ...

Here's my "handbook" for the purchase of a pair of new shoes.
  • measure : Pay particular attention to models that are not of its extent, but which seem to fit comfortably, may just be an impression
  • color : Verify that appropriate use that will be 'made of shoe uppers
  • : check that it is of high quality', soft and breathable
  • length: if too short of course it hurts, but if too long can ' to other problems, how to make the shoes uncomfortable doing the stairs (you stumble), or to boredom while driving because 'fighting against the pedals or against the lower parts of the dashboard that can sometimes be "too" low
  • width: must be adjusted to avoid "hemostatic", the foot should be able to detach themselves from the inside walls of the shoe but it should not not have too much freedom '
  • sole : e' is preferable for the rubber, but that 'really matters' is that, if possible, do not make too much noise from the ground while walking (especially the heel) and it does not slip on smooth surfaces (otherwise there is a sensation similar to walking on ice).
  • sockliner It should not be walking too smooth otherwise we slip back, especially if the length of the shoe is not 'perfect
  • flexibility' : The shoe should be able to follow the foot while walking, Otherwise it happens that you raise your heel and the shoe remains in land and this leads to friction resulting in discomfort or pain and rapid wear of the shoe and socks
  • plantar : if there 'must not be "cumbersome" and should not slip to the insole of the shoe otherwise than walking and moving you can '"arch" when its front is pushed back during the step and is also a wasted effort during walking
  • neck It should not be too tight in' too hard it 'too high, otherwise both stationary and movement in the neck can 'knock, or put pressure on the area around the ankle pain or discomfort procuring
  • laces : Make sure that you will be able to modulate the width of the shoe well and that you are able to put on and take off your shoes without necessarily having to unfasten, and 'preferable that laces are not "slippery", which otherwise can often loose socks
  • : do the test with the type of shoes and socks that will 'really used, otherwise you could make mistakes in determining the correct measure of walking shoes
  • : to ensure that the shoe is likely to be some steps paying particular attention :
    - the flexibility 'of the shoe
    - the soles grip the floor
    - Internal slip on the sole of the shoe
    - the neck of the shoe that does not beat around the instep
  • price: the price must be trivially adapted to the quality 'of the shoe, if you decide to buy a pair of shoes even if do not fully meet the requirements set out above, at least the price should therefore be low

Can You Swim When You Have A Herpes Outbreak

Save LPG / petrol price petrol

LPG and 'a fuel a little' more 'environmentally friendly gasoline. Pero 'always comes from petroleum, so I wonder what really is environmentally friendly. Anyway, carbon dioxide (which in the atmosphere increases the greenhouse effect) it produces as well.
Thinking about the GPL, however, who buys the car focuses especially on the problem of number plate or block traffic, and saving. In fact, for blocking traffic seems to me that in general the GPL can move the same, but the savings I think the hope of saving both above reality '. So 'I thought before doing an actual test, and so' and indeed '. Here's the comparison on the cost calculated solely on the fuel mileage for three different means of transport. All data are real and are not based on the usual "estimates" which then should be verified in the field. Data are collected by me patiently, to clarify things.


Rover 400 1400 DC (16V)

EURO 1 101 HP Gasoline

10 years and 2 months of age 'in October 1998 from 137,500 km

13.24 km / l
€ 0.083 / km


Citroen C3 1400 cc (8V)
75 hp (54 kW)
EURO 4
petrol / LPG
1 year and 4 months of age ' August 2007 from 17,100 km

10.96 km / l
€ 0.069 / km

Beverly (scooter)

198 cc 21 hp petrol
EURO 1

five years and two months from October 2003 44,000 Km

28.28 km / l
€ 0.044 / km

As you can see the overall consumption of C3, although more 'small, EURO 4 and less powerful, and' only 17% lower that of Rover 400. When calculating the enter both LPG than gasoline, but unfortunately the car to LPG also consume gasoline. I would say that winter will consume too much, 'cause the cold after operation, employing more' time to switch to LPG power. The ratio between the two fuels and 'in December 2008 of 1343 against 260 liters of LPG fuel, which means that 19.4% of fuel consumed and' gasoline. To me it seems a bit 'too much. The machine '"green" only for 4 / 5 of the total. Wanting to make the costs comparable
let's say you bought all the fuel at current prices (which also decreased due to the so-called "crisis"):

Rover 400 : 11660 euro/137510 Km = 0.0848 € / Km
Citroen C3: 1224 euro/17100Km = 0.0716 € / Km
Beverly : 1749 euro/44016 Km = 0.0397 € / Km

Assuming a hypothetical distance of 200,000 total vehicle miles, costs would be € 16,960 for Rover, 14,320 for the C3, 7940 for the scooter. That is, a savings of 16% for C3 and 53% for the scooter, compared to the Rover. In monetary terms about 200,000 km with the C3 you save € 2640 and € 9020 with a scooter (although of course with the scooter will not get to do all that way). Just to give concrete expression to the calculation, if a truck takes 10 years to do 200,000 miles, saving and ' of € 264 per year for the C3 and € 900 per year for the scooter. Keep in mind that
always speak of a C3 against a Rover 400, that 'a car of nearly one meter longer than' short and the spare wheel compartment occupied by the LPG tank.
And bear in mind that distributors of LPG in general should try to strut. And I 'happened once to a hundred kilometers on petrol' cause I could not find distributors in the GPL open (it was Sunday and there are no self-service for LPG).

The 1224 C3 are composed of € 933 € (1343 to the GPL) added up to 290 € (260 liters of gasoline). Fuel prices used are € 1.117 per liter for gasoline and € 0.695 per liter for LPG.

appear on a chart so ':

judge.

If we then compare the total cost of operating the gap is reduced proportionately even more '. Pero 'C3 and the' too young to take stock, so less the chance of a total purchase price of the vehicle, assuming that it can make sense.

Rover 400 : € 23,208 or € 0.1688 / Km
Citroen C3: 2831 €, overo € 0.1656 / km
Beverly : 4990 € or 0, € 1,134 / km

To get an idea, the total cost of the Rover, after 10 years, and ' 37'788 € , that' € 0.2748 / km .

Enough otherwise exaggerating. And these accounts a little disheartened ...
