Research team reports in Nature Geoscience

In the depths of the earth, it is anything but peaceful: large quantities of liquids carve their way through the rock as fluids, causing magma to form. A research team led by the University of Mnster, has shown that the fluids flow a lot faster through solid rock than previously assumed. In the Chinese Tian Shan Mountains, fluids pushed their way to the earth's mantle from great depths in just 200 years rather than in the course of tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. The researchers from Mnster, Kiel, Bochum, Erlangen, Bethlehem (USA) and Lausanne (Switzerland) present their findings, based on an innovative combination of fieldwork, geochemical analysis and numerical calculations, in the current issue of the journal Nature Geoscience. The RUB geoscientists are experts in determining time scales using numerical models.

How the "Ring of Fire" is formed

When tectonic plates move towards each other and push over each other at the edges, so-called subduction zones are formed. The descending plate is heated and continuously releases the water stored in its rocks as fluid. The fluid penetrates the earth's mantle, which is located above the descending plate. The fluids thus lower the melting point of the mantle rocks, and the liquid rock formed rises to the volcanoes as magma. This magma feeds the many volcanoes throughout the world that occur along the convergent plate boundaries and form the "Ring of Fire", a volcanic belt that encircles the Pacific Ocean. The fluids are commonly assumed to flow through the rock in a defined flow system. Geologists call these structures veins.

Only two hundred years

During field work in the Chinese part of the Tian Shan Mountains (Celestial Mountains), the research team found structures in the rocks they were studying which can be ascribed to massive fluid flows at great depth. "Our investigation has shown that a great deal of fluid must have flowed through a rock vein at about 70 km depth and that this fluid has obviously already covered a distance of several hundred meters or more - the transport of such large quantities of fluid over such a great distance has not been demonstrated by anyone before us" explains Timm John from the Institute for Mineralogy, University of Mnster. "And the most exciting thing is that this amount of fluid flowed through the rock in what is for geological processes a very short time, only about two hundred years", adds Nikolaus Gussone of the same institute.

Like in a reservoir

The release of fluids from minerals in the descending plates is a large-scale and continuous process that takes place at depths up to two-hundred kilometres and takes millions of years. During this time, the fluids first accumulate. As the researchers have now shown for the first time, the released fluids then flowed through the plate on their way to the mantle in pulses in a relatively short time along defined flow paths. "It's like a reservoir that continuously fills and then empties in a surge through defined channels" Timm John points out. "The fluid release is focused in space and time, and is much faster than expected - almost like a jet through solid rock". The researchers hope to be able to show the spatial and temporal correlations between such fluid pulses and volcanic activity in future studies. It is also possible that such focused fluid releases are associated with the occurrence of earthquake events in subduction zones. To be able to demonstrate such relations, however, intensive research is still needed.

RUB experts for time scales

The RUB's petrologists were involved in modelling the chemical data. This enabled the research team to determine the time it took the fluids to make their way to the mantle. Determining the time scales of various geological processes is a particular expertise of Bochum's petrologists. Among other things, they use minerals and rocks with zones that exhibit a different chemical composition.

Jason ?Mayhem? Miller retires from fighting at UFC 146 loss and dismissal from UFC

Jason "Mayhem" Miller is a man of his word.

The now-unemployed fighter said before his bout with C.B. Dollaway that if he'd lost, he'd retire. He dropped a decision at UFC 146 on Saturday, then was cut from the UFC.

On Monday's "MMA Hour," he said he's walking away from fighting after winning 23 bouts and losing nine.

"Every fighter gives the same answer when they say they're retired. Pretty much every fighter says 'I'm retired until I need money.' I'm a pretty smart dude, I have other avenues open to me."

Miller hosts MTV's "Bully Beatdown," and is, as he puts it, a smart dude. He gets business and selling his own brand, which is why he uses the flamboyant entrances that Dana White blasted.

He also shed light on the "backstage incident" White referred to when discussing Miller's dismissal at the UFC 146 post-fight press conference.

"It was my mask," Miller said. "Burt suddenly started yelling about my mask. I had a gas mask for the troops underneath my paper bag, and Burt started telling me right as I'm walking out for the fight. I'm trying to get focused instead of arguing about a paper bag. Maybe it was my fault for, I don't know, I thought we had an understanding once I start walking out to the cage that now I'm working, but obviously we're not on a playing field of mutual respect."

He is referring to UFC backstage director and jack of all trades Burt Watson. UFC events being the well-run events they are has much to do with Watson and the respect fighters afford him. If there is just one rule that supersedes every other in the UFC, it's listen to Burt. Fighters, employees, media and anyone doing business with the UFC knows this. Whether Miller is right or wrong is not important.

Now, Miller will have both the time and freedom to figure out his next move. He tweeted on Tuesday:

Don't worry. I'm not dead. Just analyzing it all so I can share my human experience with you.

Though his next move won't be in a cage, it will still be interesting to see what Miller does with his post-fighting life

Marriage-saving tips for work-at-home couples

Earlier this month "Hitched" received a letter from a wife who works from home and asked for our help. After 31 years of marriage, she is struggling with her husband?s lack of respect for her workspace. He also began working from home and moved his computer into her office and now regularly interrupts her. The wife feels smothered and disrespected, and now she daydreams about getting her own apartment.

Rather than reply to just her with tips, I thought I?d share the information with all of you. While I have a lot of work-from-home experience, I gave a call to Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas, a company specializing in etiquette training for corporations, universities and individuals

Define your workspace
Having a space of your own is extremely important, even if one of you has to work from the kitchen table. If possible, set up shop in two separate rooms on opposite sides of your home. Being in a separate space will help avoid distractions from your spouse, which can be as simple as their phone ringing throughout the day. If quarters are tight, Gottsman advises against butting two desks up against each other where you and your spouse are face to face, especially if you are doing your own projects for two different companies. The distractions it will likely cause will outweigh the benefits of the space saved.

If you don?t have a space large enough to accommodate both of you, establishing office hours may provide a fix.

1. 1. Family presses charges against 'neighbor from hell'

      Kim and Greg Hoffman live on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac with their young daughters, where just across the street is a ...

   2. Girl, 11, is OK after fall from wall at Marlins game
   3. Jessica Simpson shares first photos of baby
   4. Duchess Kate makes her first Jubilee appearance
   5. Drink this, not that: Worst summer drinks

Create office hours
If you only have one room that can work comfortably as a home office, Gottsman says you might trade use of that room by creating work hours. For example, one might exclusively get the room from 8:00 to 1:00 and the other from 1:00 to 5:00. Gottsman says to negotiate the times that you truly need to be focused.

The second aspect of creating office hours is to let your spouse (and the rest of your family) know when you are not to be disturbed. You and your spouse can sync calendars on your smartphones to get on the same page. If you have kids, Gottsman suggests creating a physical calendar that they can see and placing it somewhere in a communal space.

Third, you have to establish a time to shut things down. ?We all have to create an end-time for our workday, whether that?s 5 o?clock or 6 o?clock,? says Gottsman. ?At some point we have to turn it off, close the laptop, walk away from the computer, silence our cell phone and spend time with each other.?

Communication
Dialogue with each other is paramount. ?You have to be able to talk to each other and really be honest without becoming defensive,? says Gottsman. Have a conversation where you explain what you need, when you need it and how these ground rules need to be followed going forward. ?It?s so important to be on the same page without becoming offended when your spouse can?t spend time with you,? says Gottsman.

If you would like to take advantage of being under the same roof during the day, Gottsman doesn?t think it would be outlandish to make appointments. For example, ?You could say, ?I know it?s a busy day for you, can we schedule a time later on where we can talk about how we?re going to get the kids to camp and who?s going to take Suzy to the soccer game,?? suggest Gottsman. You might not blatantly request an ?appointment,? but establishing specific times to take a break from work will keep you both focused and in the loop.

Dealing with distractions
This might be the biggest hurdle for most people working from home. ?We?ve gotten into the habit of being distracted,? says Gottsman. ?We now have to get into the habit of focusing on getting what we need to get done, taking our breaks, and at a certain point shutting down and being present with our spouse and with our friends.? This means you need to avoid pulling out the smartphone and taking a peak at Twitter, and likewise close the Facebook window.

When your husband or wife is just a few steps away, you need to respect each other?s space. You shouldn?t have to get off the phone to answer a question from our spouse, nor should they write you notes while you?re trying to conduct business. This gets back to communication, but you might try saying something along the lines of, ?I love you, I love you being here with me, but I?m easily distracted so could you help me out?? recommends Gottsman. So rather than scold your spouse for distracting you, you?ve flipped it and asked them for help.

Dealing with the family
Your boundaries should be very, very clear. ?We want to feel like what we?re doing is of value and that our spouse also values us,? says Gottsman. ?It may not seem as important, but if we?re doing it, it is important.? Your family needs to know they cannot walk in to your office and interrupt. When Gottsman absolutely cannot be disturbed and needs the rest of the house quiet while she takes an important call, she?ll put a sign on her door informing her family. Gottsman says you should have a conversation with your family that they are not to start the vacuum cleaner or blend a smoothie when they know you need a quiet backdrop.

Moreover, inform family members that you find it distracting if they stand next to you, breathing down your neck while you?re trying to get work done. It can be difficult with kids during the summer time when they?re home and need assistance, but establishing regular breaks when they know you?re available, and getting older siblings and your spouse to chip in will provide a big relief.

Of course, each household has their own schedules and specific needs. These are just a few guidelines for husbands and wives to follow when their office shares the same address.

?When you?re married, you have to look at all of these factors and figure out what works best for you, what works best under your own roof,? says Gottsman.

Sports activities and adventure tourism are types of tourism today popular with travelers who wish to spend their vacation either in sports or even adventure related actions. Sports tourist means creating a trip to a particular destination possibly to take part in a certain sports event, or practice and find out a specific sport. On the other hand, journey tourism describes activities and also tourist spots that either tend not to attract or are not accessible to the most of tourists. It might be because the area under consideration is remote or the provided activities are very difficult and hard, or perhaps the trip is actually not suited to the majority of travellers. wynajem autokarow warszawa.

The actual travel industry has grown fast since the 1955s: According to the Un World Travel and leisure Organization, international tourism arrivals experienced a growth through 25 million in 1950 in order to 684 million within 2000; global tourist arrivals are expected into reach 1 billion by 2020. An emergent tourism pattern is towards more experienced-based rather than destination-based moves. Travelers nowadays seek unique ways of spending their vacation to find meaning through discussion with their surroundings. Accordingly, tourism suppliers offer more tailor-made, off-the-beat-path plans. In addition , the growing trend of active lifestyles converted into many tourists seeking methods to integrate their own fondness for a particular action into a visit to a new destination. przewozy autokarowe Warszawa.

When it comes to a vacation, you need to check regardless of whether travel insurance is applicable for your planned actions. Trips to be able to remote destinations are best done in groups, especially for ladies. Climate conditions that may prevail during the time of travel must also be anticipated. Along with these types of, be certain your journey providers have put safety measures in place. Lastly, you should know of any health conditions you might have prior to your vacation.

If you are planning to perform a specific activity included in a sports-oriented vacation, first look into the difficulty level of the program you'll participate in before paying any due. There are situations, for example , that activities were dealt with by instructors who are less advanced than their college students. An actual activity which is supposed to test stamina might be nothing more than an ordinary workout in a new environment. You should make sure that this activities you happen to be going consider fit with your level of ability. wynajem autokarow mikrobusow warszawa.

As tourism experiences are getting to be more "unique", thinking about the growth of sports as well as adventure tourism, it comes with a chance for individual suppliers of exceptional sports or adventure encounter to be able to out-compete mass-market tourist services. The USAID study for sustainable rural travel and leisure in 2007, for example , found that adventure tourist activities favors lasting development objectives, channeling economic benefits of advancement back to community members instead of to large foreign or commercial tourism agencies. Which means that preparing your journey, the options you make not just comes with an impact the caliber of your experience but additionally around the lives from the communities an individual visit and connect to.

Crowd-io: lsdeliberation: HP labs presentation on Crowdsource ...

Since I wasn't there to take note from my own presentation, here's the abstract of the position paper that Hamid and I submitted to Large Scale Deliberation and Idea Management workshop:

Enterprises need to continuously assess their business processes for opportunities for improvements and optimizations. Often, they hire external consulting firms to assist them in this task. This approach is costly, time-consuming, and does not guarantee an optimal result. This is because the results depend on the understanding of the existing business processes by the third party firm, and on their expertise and experiences. In this article, we propose a framework and methodology for opening up the job of business process re-design to a selected crowd with expertise in various aspects of process re-design including industrial domain experts, business process analysts and designers, and enable them to collaboratively design the new business process with the enterprise employees. This approach enables capturing the results from a diverse group of contributors, consolidating the results in one business process model and verifying the model for most common issues. Our approach relies on the wisdom of the crowd in every stage of the re-design process. We offer mechanisms for fostering the collaboration and cross-validation of results among various involved groups and the enterprise employees to ensure higher high quality results.

Struggling With Skincare Problems? Follow These Tips! ? Beauty ...

Your overall appearance can be greatly affected by the look of your skin. Healthy, vibrant skin will minimize your requirement for makeup and help you to appear younger. However, if you want healthy skin, you need to care for it. Here are some tricks on how to care for your skin the right way.

Some cosmetics include sunscreen. If your liquid foundation is not one of them, nothing is stopping you from adding some of your own. You also have the option of buying a foundation with built-in SPF protection. If the one you use lacks protection, then mix your own. A few drops, mixed in well, should suffice.

People who have oily skin should use special products designed for this skin type. You can also use toners and astringents to prevent excess oil on your face. Moisturizers made especially to treat oily skin can make a big difference in making your skin oil-free, as well.

Create a mask at home in order to have radiant skin. Grind raw almonds along with milk and olive oil until it forms a semi-smooth paste. Once you have this paste, stir in some orange zest. Apply the mask to your face and allow to rest for 15 minutes. After removing the mask, wash your face gently and rub it with ice cubes.

You can improve the health of your skin by reducing your consumption of foods and drinks with high sodium content. Consuming too much sodium can cause puffy eyes or even cause your jawline to swell. Instead, choose low or no sodium foods and diet sodas that are sodium free.

Most sunscreens need to be reapplied every 4 to 5 hours. There are sunscreens that come in brush-on powder form if you are looking for an easier way to apply the stuff. Such types of sun protection typically come in handy containers ideally suited for your purse or pocket.

You can always enlist the help of alpha-hydroxy treatments. Alpha-hydroxies are found in many natural sources, from dairy products to fruit. Alpha-hydroxy acids help skin shed quicker by breaking down protein bonds which hold the dead skin to new cells. Dead skins cells wash away, once this bond is broken, to expose the healthy new skin below.

Laurene Powell Jobs aligns against teachers unions; backs education reform, charter schools, vouchers

?Wealthy Democrats, including Los Angeles home developer Eli Broad and New York investment fund managers Whitney Tilson and John Petry, have found common cause with Republicans in a push to apply principles of the corporate world, including free-market competition, to public education,? Stephanie Simon reports for Reuters. ?With teachers unions bitterly opposed to such measures, Democrats in the movement say they must break their party?s ties to the unions if they?re ever to make progress.?

?So they are offering an alternative to the union dollars, spending freely to back fellow Democrats willing to buck the unions and advance their agenda,? Simon reports. ??Education reform is really a fight for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party,? said Derrell Bradford, who runs a political group in New Jersey that recently helped elect two union-defying Democrats to the state legislature.?

?The reform movement?s goals include shutting down low-performing public schools; weakening or eliminating teacher tenure; and expanding charter schools, which are publicly funded but often run by private-sector managers, some of them for-profit companies,? Simon reports. ?Wealthy Democrats have joined Republicans in pouring millions into political campaigns, lobbying and community organizing to try to advance these goals nationwide. They can count on their side several influential Democratic mayors, including Newark?s Cory Booker and Chicago?s Rahm Emanuel.?

?The tug-of-war between the Democratic Party?s two education camps is playing out now in a heated primary race in the 46th State Assembly District, a sprawl of suburbs outside Los Angeles,? Simon reports. ?From a field of five Democrats, teachers unions have backed Andrew Lachman, an adjunct professor of business law at Woodbury University. The California Teachers Association gave him $7,800 directly, campaign records show ? and spent more than $130,000 on ads tearing down one of his opponents, Brian Johnson.?

?Johnson, who until recently ran a network of charter schools in Los Angeles, has the full support of the charter industry and the education reform community,? Simon reports. ?Contributions from investors, philanthropists and Silicon Valley executives, including Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings and Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, have flooded into Johnson?s campaign. Independent groups funded by an overlapping network of donors have blanketed the district with mailers backing him.?

?I?m really excited for the girls,? Young said. ?When I came here three years ago, I knew the challenges that were ahead of us. Today is the culmination of three years of hard work and determination, and it?s great for the girls.?

The Cowgirls will face Georgia Tech in the first round, a welcomed opponent.

?I knew that we would be right there playing a team that is pretty even with us,? Young said. ?We have seen them quite a bit. When you have some familiarity for an opponent, it helps us prepare for the moment.?

The Cowgirls? first match in the single-elimination tournament will be May 11, and Young said his team would be well prepared.

?I have experience in this, understanding how the schedule works out this first week will be tricky with finals, but after this week my experience will help them make the transition to post season,? Young said.

Junior C. C. Sardinha anticipated the reward of a postseason, and her hopes built up going into the selection show.

?We are pumped,? Sardinha said. ?There were hints that we would get in. It was just nice to finally hear it.?

Sardinha echoed the confidence that the Cowgirls are taking into the postseason and gave a glimpse of what has been behind the team?s success this season.

?We will play Stanford, UCLA, anyone; bring it on,? she said.

If the Cowgirls knock down their first three opponents, they could face UCLA in the quarterfinals, but that is a long way off.

Malika Rose, a junior for the Cowgirls, said the team is focused on the task at hand.

?We had this goal at the beginning of the year, but we didn?t think it was that close,? Rose said. ?We just want to take it one match at a time and focus on our advantage in the doubles matchups.?

Nearly 4 times as much sea life in Alabama, Mississippi coastal waters since 2010 Gulf oil spill.

MOBILE, Alabama -- There were nearly four times as many fish, shrimp and crabs in Alabama waters in the fall of 2011 as there were before the BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill, according to scientific data collected by the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.

Scientists believe the months-long fishing closure caused by the spill helps explain the dramatic increase, which first became apparent in 2010, months after engineers capped the Deepwater Horizon well. But other factors may be at play as well, researchers said.

?The increase certainly indicates that the waters in Alabama are in relatively good shape, at least the nearshore waters,? said John Valentine, director of the Sea Lab.

?It could also be that things are not good in the Louisiana area and the fish are just getting up and leaving the area around the well site and the heavily oiled marshes there,? Valentine said. ?Alabama might be getting the benefit of the problems in other places.?

The lab has population records for Mobile Bay, the Mississippi Sound and Gulf waters out to five miles going back to 2000. The most recent surveys conducted in the fall of 2011 show an increase in both the weight of the catch and in the number of creatures caught.

No surveys were conducted this spring because funding for the long-term project dried up, Valentine said.

?This is a critical time for us to have this information,? Valentine said. ?The money ran out. Unfortunately, it isn?t really glitzy enough science to attract much money. It?s just good, old-fashioned shrimp trawling. But it produced a lot of really useful data.?

Historical data show moderate annual increases prior to spill?

The historical data show a small increase in aquatic populations that became apparent after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. That jump, Valentine said, likely stemmed from reduced fishing due to the loss of commercial vessels.

That moderate increase continued in the years before the BP spill, perhaps due to rising gasoline costs for the commercial fleet, Valentine speculated.

Then, in April 2010, came the spill.

Trawl surveys conducted in fall 2010 after the capping of the BP well showed a nearly threefold increase in the biomass in Alabama?s coastal waters.

Some shark populations also increased the year of the spill, roughly by a factor of three.

While shark populations had returned to pre-spill levels according to the 2011 sampling conducted by Sean Powers with the Sea Lab, the increases widened in terms of the fish, shrimp and crab populations.

?You can see in the 10 years running up to the accident, the numbers were much lower than they are now,? Valentine said, discussing the data. ?Certainly the effects are strongest in the years after the Deepwater Horizon, and they do seem to be building. The interesting part is it?s really not related to fishes people target. It?s a mix of all kinds of fish, and shrimp and crabs. They all increase in abundance.?

One of the most profound lessons, he said, ?is that it shows what happens when you prohibit fishing in all of the Gulf.?

Powers said the increase in population numbers will make it more difficult to detect oil-related impacts. He noted that some declines in sea creature populations in Alaska after the Exxon Valdez spill took years to materialize.

?The take-home message for me, is we need to monitor the 2010 and 2011 year classes in a detailed manner across multiple species to determine the effects of the spill and response activities,? Powers said.

Valentine said the opportunity to keep tabs on the fish populations in Alabama is slipping away. For lack of money, the lab was unable to conduct the traditional sampling in the spring of this year.

If funding could be found, he said, the Sea Lab could resume its research right away.?
