Our first holiday to Egypt and it didn't disappoint we were there from 24th June for 2 weeks.Our rooms were spotless. Couldn't fault any of the staff at all especially our cleaner Mohammed who does a excellent job. The restaurant staff are very good our second visit to the restaurant and they already knew our drinks and couldn't do enough for us. The animation team (daammnn) did well with what they had to work with for the entertainment wasn't great but kept us occupied maybe with a little bit of resources could be a great entertainment team.The pools were good the pool by the main restaurant for me was the best but the other is also good.Na'ama Bay can be a little bit daunting at first with the hassle but a simple no thanks is enough to keep them at arms length but be prepared to say it every 6 seconds. its a good place to shop, eat and drink with the Hard Rock Cafe and the Tavern Bar being our favorites.If you want to shop id suggest the old market and Soho square lots of bargains to be had.
Room Tip: Take your card off your room key and leave it in the slot to keep it running while your out this is...

We were there for 3 weeks from the 26th Feb. to 19th March.Myself,Wife and 2 friends.A lot has been said about the food,so won't go into too much detail,but we all enjoyed every meal that we had in the "Main Restaurant"without any problems.Repetative or otherwise.The selection,taste and presentation was equal to the 5* we stayed in last year.Waled and staff go out on a limb to make sure you are made welcome.Sure the soft drinks and Wine are a little bit on the weak side but more than adequate to wash the food down.So, to the hard stuff in the bars - draught beer in the Jasmine Club bar and bottled in the others.We took plenty of plastic pint glasses with us,but never bothered to use them (Not really needed)Plentiful supply by the staff in the smaller glasses.Vodka,Gin,Oozo and Brandy ok with your required mixer,but not top shelf stuff.Regarding the Mamma Mia Restaurant,allocation is 1 visit per person officially.We found the service and food to be more than adequate and very tasty,served by Ahmed and presented well.The Italian Restaurant could maybe do with a lick of freshening up,but it's not the decoration that you are there for.For a 3*Hotel this is as good as it gets ( In Sharm ),fresh towels everyday,rooms cleaned every day,comfortable beds,first rate Staff in every aspect,nice relaxing atmosphere,lovely Coffee's in Reception bar,Nicely situated position and all in all, well worth a try.If you have a problem,it might be worth a quick chat with Alexandra,somewhat of a quality controller and a really nice person to talk to as regards information etc.Personally I think she is possibly a little under rated in my opinion.A Woman in a Man's world so to speak.Say Keith and Chris send their good wishes if you see her.One slightly sad note regarding an obnoxious elderly couple (British) that managed to get a perfectly nice,pleasant and hard working Waiter by the name of MahMoud,suspended because he would only replenish their last orders Beer stocks by 2 drinks instead of 8 or so,simply because he had other thirsty drinkers also waiting to be served before the dreaded last all inclusive deadline ie.11.00pm.Suffice to say they could buy more after time,but it had been noted that they had been drinking from late morning none stop.They say the "Younger Generation "are bad ???.Anyway enough said,if your thinking of going to this Hotel,go with an open mind and enjoy it.WE all wish we were still there and to everyone who works at the Jasmine and especially MahMoud Farouk who saved the rooms that we requested,THANK YOU.

stayed here 18th - 25th march 2013.we were based in the Jasmine which i think is the case for most Brits..hotel nice and clean & room was excellent . pool area was ok with plenty of room around sunbeds but not enough decent brollies and the pool was good size and clean enough...poolside snacks were chicken or burger (with chips) on alternate days and a few pastries . NO ICE CREAMS OR ICE LOLLIES anywhere on site. Shehata the pool bar waiter worked tirelessly to keep everyone topped up,he and "Cookie" always smiling.all the staff were very friendly and helpful.Restaurant was nice but the food wasnt that clever.(my wife and i will try anything) lunch menu was probably better than evening meal but the soup was always good. At breakfast ,"Smiler" as i called him made great omelletes (ask for mixed with cheese )..restaurant soft drinks seemed to be watered down as the day went on. The "Jasmine" bar was like a little club house but had no atmosphere so we generally had drinks in the reception bar. beer was served in very small glasses,some smaller than others, whilst spirits were served too big which spoilt the taste,as it wasnt particulary good anyway.smoking was permitted in this bar,but not in the Jasmine bar.any drinks taken away from these areas including Tea or Coffee had to be in little plastic cupsThe hotel entertainment team (not "Thomsons" ) did their best but i think they were on a tight budget , the Girls were a good laugh..shame theyre both leaving next week to be replaced, we were told, by Russian animation team.I wouldnt be surprised if this complex becomes wholly east european.Well situated with a gentle stroll into naama bay, just turn right out of the hotel and then cross the road and walk thru the hilton complex onto the beach road and head right again for bars and restaurants but watch out (as in many similair resorts) for people hassling you for business. we were told to avoid writing anything for them as this is seen as some sort of contract ?also be wary if you are asked to change English pound coins into notes as they may slip the odd Egyptian 50p in , which are similair to pound coin (equivalent to 5p)Despite the hotels minor faults mentioned , which could easily be rectified, we enjoyed our break in the sun thanks to the attitude of all the staff and some nice people we met whilst there
Room Tip: we were in ground floor 2101. this block well positioned for pool and restaurant

we stayed here for one week in March 2013. I would have to say the rooms are very clean, and the beds comfortable. There are a couple of downsides to this hotel, we found that the food can be a little repetitive but, it was well cooked - we werent impressed with the on site italian restaurant either and luckily managed to eat later at the restaurant. The other is the harassment of the spa staff. The spa is located at the entrance to the hotel but not part of it. Their salesmen come around the pool areas at least three times a day to try to sell you the spa packages but they half the prices. You will not get what you paid for and in our experience they changed the price and asked for more money once the treatments were completed even though we complained. The standard of the treatments is really rubbish and very expensive so I would strongly suggest you ignore the salesmen and dont engage in conversation with them get your manicures and pedicures before you leave the uk! The hotel staff are lovely and helpful. They will look after you very well here. If you are lucky enough to have Abdulah the pool and towel guy, he will make you smile, pool bar service and food at the quiet pool was always wonderful during the day. Have a great time here, we did. :)
Room Tip: Everyone said their rooms were very clean and most of the UK guests were close together, so go for a...

First off I was a bit confused reading some of the reports on here, it was like 2 different hotels, guess what it is basically. the Rosetta is the first part of the complex you come to after leaving reception and when you walk up the hill and cross the private road you are in the Jasmine Club, both are operated as one by the Tropicana company and you can use any part of the hotel or any of the 4 pools, 2 bars etc.From the off if you have any issues with mobilty, or in a wheelchair I would strongly recommend this is not the hotel for you due to the steep slopes and many steps. if you are able bodied its still probably an idea to let the porters take your cases to the rooms and bring back to reception when your leaving, a small tip and their happy to help.The staff at this hotel are excellent and always willing to help, the waiters are superb and look after you all through the week, obviously working the tips but its worth it. we had occassions when the waiter saw us walking to the restaraunt and had a table with our drinks on before we got in the door!!thats service.so back to the 2 hotels scenario, the Rosetta is mainly Russians and the Jasmine mainly Brits and others, which explains some comments from previous posts about feeling surrounded.. if you book through the likes of Thomson you will be put in the Jasmine normally, if you go through some smaller agencies you may end up in the away end for lack of a better analogy. The rooms in Jasmine are also supposedly better than the Rosetta.The 4 pools are spread across the complex, the top pool by the Jasmine restaraunt is where most of the activity goes on, music playing, darts with forfeits, water volley ball etc. the next pool down by the Jasmine club bar is very popular and the beds are claimed very early, quiter music, some darts and stretches by the pool, both of these have swim up bars and do snacks during the day,burgers and pizza. the pools guys work their socks off and the barmen will bring your drinks for you if you cant be bothered to get up, dont be stingy and look after these guys properly they are all a good laugh. The next pool is in the Rosetta and called the star pool due to its shape and is quite small and hardly ever used, it has about 30beds and i only counted a max of 6 people at anyone time, no music and reasonbly close the 4th pool to use the bar etc. its a great place to chill out and listen to your ipod in the sun with no disturbance. At the same level up the hill as this is a kids area and they have a small pool in this area for them as well with a gate. The 4th pool just up from reception(lowest pool) also has a bar and snack counter, no music or activity's apart from the laugh with the guy giving out the towels and looking after the pool, we met this guy on his way out of the hotel one night after doing a 15 hour shift, he still asked us if everything was ok and was their anything he could do and then wished us goodnight, THATS SERVICE.There are 2 restaurants, one under the main reception room and the Jasmine club up the top of the hill. No competition here, don't use the Main restaurant unless you have too, its dark and dingy, the service from the waiters does not match the service in the Jasmine, the food was not as good and there is an issue with fly's in this one. The jasmine is the one to use and the steps help work off the food. breakfast is monotonous, but the chef in the corner does eggs anyway you want them. the food in Jasmine was always good quality and I was able to find something I liked every time.All inclusive, the bar is only open till 11pm, after this you can pay for drinks. they have a tendency to give you beer in small disposable cups during the day, but this is not an issue, I asked for 3 beers and they give you 3 small cups, some people were using the beer cooler jugs and filling this up with the drinks..there seems to be a distinct lack of wine in Sharm El SHiek, not just the hotel.I cant comment on the evening entertainment as were never about to see it. The beach is not attached to the hotel, their 2 for use and have to be booked and get a pass for them, Viva beach is a 10 minute walk, and throught the viva bar on the beach, beds look old and cramped together. the other is wind beach which is a bit of a stroll, but there is a regular bus service from the Hotel, we didnt use either beach as the pools sufficed on this vacation.we booked the Vip boat trip and really enjoyed it, good day out and the snorkelling was excellent,also did the bar crawl with Thomson which is was a good night out, but you need to have good people to enjoy it. the tavern, the bus stop, little buddha and the hard rock cafe..when heading to Naama bay for the shops and bars, dont be put off by the the guys trying to get you in their shops, polite but firm NO THANK YOU,does the trick. when walking to the high street, look out for the guys that come and walk along with you and strike a conversation they are trying to get you to go to certains shops or bars, again firm but polite NO THANKS, I KNOW WHERE IM GOING. THE FIRST QUESTION WILL BE" IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME IN SHARM?" the answer should be no I've been before.. The camel guys again, polite no thanks and they leave you alone. The taxis can be a pain, top tip, walk on the opposite side of the road against the traffic and they leave you alone. we had some good nights in Naama and enjoyed a few beers and smoked a couple of Shishas, late into the night, cherry,apple,melon many flavs available. The thing is to go with the flow and treat all the attention as parts of the fun, you will hear cheap as chips and cheaper than asda more time than you can count. GO WITH IT, THEY ARE EARNING A LIVING..Alternative to walking along the main road is the beach promenade just across the main road from the hotel, much more civilised walk into Naama, lined with restaurants and bars and we had a lovely meal at the Moonlight Restaraunt(huge T-Bone) meal for 2 and dessert with drinks came to about £27 sterling.right had enough typing now, hope this was useful, please click and let me know if it was, if you have any questions, i will answer if I can. we will definitely go back to Sharm in the future.

Me and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel from 14-21th march,we whish to book it for bit longer.It was our first visit in Egypt so we were lookig forward to experience something new and mainly couldnt wait to get some sun. when we arrived,we got a welcome drink at the Rosseta reception,than filled in some papers and after that were ready to go to our room.we were staying in Jasmin club hotel,which was better part of the tropicana resort.our room was on the ground floor so we didnt have a balcony,only open terrace which we were bit disappointed but still happy with our room,very nice clean,modern,comfortable bed,nice big shower.we arrived after 6pm,after we refreshed went to main restaurant for dinner,where we were welcomed by two waiters Mustafa and Mohsen,who they were looking after us for the whole week.Reastaurant is very nice,clean with variety of diffrent dishes,roast chicken,griled fish(my favourite),pasta,mixed salads,breads,deserts,fruits.during the our stay we were spending days at jasmin club pool,which is much better,more lively with music and so many activites during the whole day,stretching,aqua aerobic,darts,water polo,salsa lessons....animation team will keep you active:)! there is a pool bar where you can get soft and alcoholic drinks,snacks like crossoints,chips,burgers from 11am till 5pm,after that the pool is closing,but you can still stay there to relax.you dont need to bring your beach towels as its provided for free,you get a cards for a towels at the reception.The anaimation team organise great shows every night like oriental night with fire man and belly dancer,karaoke,mr and miss rossetta,and also later after show after 11pm,they organise trips to beach or desert party,which you have to pay extra but is worth it for a young people to have more fun.we went to beach paty which was amazing.we also booked one trip with thomson to desert called ultimate desert experience which was amazing worth the money.the couch picked us up at 2.30pm,took us to quaid biked center,after you get ready for dessert you can,jump on your bike and have a amazing time at desert,including a camel ride,watching the sun set from the high rocks and great african show with buffet dinner.we always tipped our waiters,cleaner at the beggining of our holidays so they can look after us better and also on our last day,they really work so hard for a very little money so a nice tip is really bonus for them.we had a amazing time at the resort,met some new great friends....cant wait to go back next year!:)
Room Tip: for a nice room with a balcony and a great view ask for a second floor room.

Where do I start what a wonderful hotel my first time visit to Egypt and I will defiantly be going back to the Tropicana Rosetta . I had never considered going to Egypt but the weather and the price seemed the better option And I am so glad went we was so pleasantly surprised. The staff are incredible the restaurant staff give a 5* service our drinks were waiting on the table before we walked through the doors I cannot fault them, The food was great everyday we found something nice to eat . The only downside was we only stayed for 1 week I will defiantly be returning soon for longer . We went to Cairo by air to see the pyramids what an experience for the cost of £165 each booked with Thomson a coached picked us up from the hotel took us to the airport for a 45 minute flight to Cairo once we arrived we was greeted by our tour guide who was also brilliant he had so much knowledge and made us feel safe we went to the mosque , river Nile for lunch , pyramids then off to the papyrus paintings shop then we headed back home after a amazing but very long day I would defiantly recommend the Cairo trip by air. All in all I cannot fault the Tropicana Rosetta and jasmine club the pools were brilliant loved the swim up bar , The waiter would bring your drinks to your sunbed if you did not fancy the pool as it was on little on the chilly side. Naama bay was very nice yes you do get a little harassed when walking past the shops but a no thank you should do it if you don't want the hassle just head down to soho square its hassle free shopping with a choice of bars and restaurants . A Big thank you to all the staff at the Tropicana Rosetta and jasmine club see you soon.

Read your way to success | Money | The Guardian
If you hope to get on at work, the message is that you will have to make your own way. Esther Addley on the growing UK market for self-help manuals for the career-minded Work Unlimited
The Roman philosopher Seneca didn't know a great deal about office politics or corporate networking, but he had a neat line in motivational epigrams."When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind," he wrote in his Epistolae ad Lucilium.
It's a sentiment endorsed (and reprinted) in Anthony Weldon's book Breakthrough: Your Guide to Handling Career Opportunities and Changes. The book will, suggests the epigram, help to guide you to your own personal harbour, filling your sails with positive winds of change as you embark on the great career journey.
Stephanie Myers, author of I Want More: Straight-talking Advice on How to Get What You Want, prefers to quote Voltaire. In a chapter entitled "I want more respect" she cites his maxim: "We owe respect to the living. To the dead we owe only truth."
It's deliciously easy to mock workplace self-help books. All that touchy-feely stuff about Knowing Your Inner Work Self! and Finding Power In The Office! - exclamation marks and excessive capitalisation in the title, gung-ho motivational exhortations in the text. It all feels a bit embarrassing and, well, American, in a nation where we are more comfortable apologising when someone walks into us on the Tube.
But cheesy or not, it seems we can't get enough of personal development books. The market in the UK for motivational manuals has seen phenomenal growth in the past decade, and all indications are that the curve will continue steeply upwards. High street bookshops set increasingly substantial chunks of their floorspace aside for pop psychology guides, and tempt us at the checkout with bitesize versions of the same. Men and women may be from different planets, but it seems the road less travelled has been well trod by all of us. And I'm OK if you are.
While many of the well-known bestsellers deal with general personal and spiritual development, our increasing enthusiasm for emotional self-motivation and Oprah-style sharing has also spilled into the workplace. Help is available for every type of office dilemma, offering to increase your confidence, improve your powers of influence, and get you the job of your dreams. After all, You Deserve It!
But if the emotional gushiness of the career self-help market is easily parodied, the reasons behind the genre's extraordinary popularity are less lighthearted. The workplace is less secure, and if we want to get on, we suspect we'll have to make it happen ourselves. Managers are under pressure to squeeze ever more from their staff, and so are more receptive to "alternative" management strategies. The flexible market demands flexible skills. If in doubt, buy a book.
"I suppose if you look at it from a cynical point of view, you could say that we are fitting into people's insecurities," says Pauline Goodwin, publishing director at specialist business publisher Kogan Page. "Every organisation has a hierarchy, and trying to understand that, and the systems and processes of the organisation, is important. I think people want to know how to behave and present themselves. Who are the people you should be looking to impress?"
She thinks wider changes in society have also contributed to the boom in career motivation books. "There are increasing numbers of women returners and women in the workplace generally. The former group in particular need their confidence boosted, having been out of the workplace for some time, and the latter group, particularly the new generation of women entering the job market, are determined to compete on an even footing with men, and keen to progress their careers."
A third important factor, crucially, is the growing emphasis on so-called "soft skills". Flexibility, initiative and "common sense" are repeatedly mentioned by employers and recruiters as skills in short supply, not abilities one can easily set out to acquire on a course or through application alone. The easy self-knowledge, confidence and powers of influence promised by many books in the genre are tempting prizes indeed.
But publishers admit that the self-help genre has something of an image problem in the UK, despite its phenomenal growth. "British people want more pragmatic advice, rather than the vacuous razzmatazz you often get in American books in this field," says Goodwin. "We don't want to learn how to 'Transform Ourselves In The Workplace!' if it's not giving practical advice."
Similarly, Judith Dennett, head of publishing at the Institute of Personnel and Development, is eager to stress that the career help books published by the IPD are the "respectable face" of self-help publishing. "I don't think there's anything wrong with talking about human things at work," she says, "but it's the sentimentalising of that which is wrong. Much of it would stick in your throat. We don't want to be seen as a comedy act."
In fact many of the British books published in the field seem to take pains to distance themselves from the most emotive excesses of the genre. "Forget the 'power of positive thinking' and 'fake it to make it': these are very good strategies, but put them in storage for now," writes chartered psychologist Jim Mackay in Breakthrough. Ros Taylor, author of Transform Yourself! says her book discusses "a number of different ways of thinking, not just an adjuration to think more positively, as I have always thought that so insulting."
Despite making her own contribution to the genre, Lucy Kellaway retains a healthy scepticism about the popularity of career advice books. "What happens to all those management books that are published in greater number each year?," she asks in Sense and Nonsense in the Office. "Who has the time (or the inclination) to sit down and read them? The answer seems to be practically nobody. Managers buy the books, only to leave them on their shelves for show-off value or, at best, to dip into them briefly."
In contrast to the relentless optimism of personal development-speak, Kellaway articulates the one great secret about our jobs that we all hate to admit - "all work is tedious for much of the time. If everyone accepts this, then so much the better."
It's a sentiment with which Seneca would probably agree. A member of the Stoic school, he held that happiness was achievable only by putting aside passion and submitting to one's duty.
Want a change of career, a new job, a new you? These books all promise the chance to open a revised chapter in your life

Blurb: "Job change - whether by force or by choice - is disturbing. It poses many questions. Questions that Breakthrough will help you answer. Only you can get the job you want, but Breakthrough will help you every step of the way."
Sample: "Perhaps you should get your act together, hold back any emotion you might feel and launch yourself on to the job market. After all, that really good job that you feel is right for you could be difficult to come by. So if you're busy at home reading and analysing, perhaps somebody else might be getting the very job that was made for you."

Blurb: "This proven programme will help you to develop clarity of vision and renewed confidence in your own judgement and abilities. Transform Yourself! will inspire you to become more positive, productive and relaxed."
Sample: "We need from birth to be hugged and stroked, not only to provide us with a sense of security, but also to give us an awareness of the boundaries of our bodies. As we grow older, hugs and strokes are confined to intimate relationships, but we still desire metaphorical stroking, socially and at work. If these 'strokes' are absent then behavioural withdrawal or attention-seeking results."

Stay Optimistic, Live Longer? - The New York Times
Well|Stay Optimistic, Live Longer?
https://nyti.ms/2gVVDGo
By NICHOLAS BAKALAR DEC. 7, 2016
In 2004 and again in 2008, researchers used a well-validated questionnaire to rate 70,021 women on their optimism. The women were asked to indicate their degree of agreement with six statements (for example, “In uncertain times, I usually expect the best.”).
Researchers also collected information on educational and socioeconomic status, smoking, alcohol consumption, cancer, hypertension and other diseases and behavioral characteristics. The women’s average age was 70 at the start of the project.
The study, in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found significant associations between increasing levels of optimism and decreasing risks of death from cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and infections.
The associations were particularly strong for cardiovascular disease. Those in the quarter with the highest optimism scores had a nearly 40 percent lower risk for heart disease and stroke than those in the lowest quarter, even after controlling for other health factors. The associations with cancer were also significant, but weaker.
“People can have low optimism for a wide array of reasons,” said the lead author, Eric S. Kim, a research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “Twin studies show it’s about 25 percent heritable, but that means it’s 75 percent social circumstances or under our own control.”

Without Kelley Earnhardt, there is no JR Motorsports for Dale Earnhardt Jr. - ESPN
Without sister Kelley, there is no JR Motorsports
January, 26, 201001/26/1011:17AM ET
Kelley Earnhardt is the general manager of JR Motorsports. In other words, she runs the place.But she says her famous little brother, Dale Earnhardt Jr., has to pull rank in the company every now and then.Kelley gave a funny example last week during the annual NASCAR media tour."One day recently we were talking in my office and it got heated," Kelley said. "I used the F-word a couple of times, so [Dale Jr.] just turned around and walked out."I thought, 'Good. He's gone for the day. He won't be back.' Then about 15 minutes later he comes strolling back in my office and he's got a yellow slip of paper in his hand. He hands it to me."I said, 'What's this?'"He said, 'It's from HR [Human Resources]. I had you written up. You said the F-word to the president of the company.'"I looked at him and said, 'That was between brother and sister.'"He said, 'Not here it's not.' Then he walked out again."
Even now in their mid-30s, the Earnhardt siblings still have their territorial moments. But Kelley is the glue that holds everything together in her brother's growing empire. While Junior is off racing his No. 88 Sprint Cup car for Hendrick Motorsports and handling the many duties that entails, Kelley runs the show for Junior's numerous other endeavors.Kelley, 37, handles the day-to-day decisions of the Nationwide Series team (she was instrumental in bringing Danica Patrick to the program) along with making sure all of her brother's other businesses run properly.Right now, Kelley's top priority is making sure Patrick is ready for her stock car debut, which comes in the ARCA race at Daytona on Feb. 6.Is dealing with the hype around Patrick any different than dealing with her celebrity brother?"Oh no," she said. 'It's totally the same. We definitely can handle that. We have that part figured out."At least Patrick won't write her up for cussing at the boss. Recommend0

1. A method of electric power generation using a total amount of heat energy, comprising the steps of:(a) heating and completely evaporating water to produce dry, saturated steam at a first high temperature and first high pressure with geothermal heat energy from a high temperature geothermal heat source, which geothermal heat energy is more than about seventy percent (70%) of all of said total heat energy used in said method of electric power generation, said high pressure sufficient for effective use in a large scale electric power turbine generator, said energy from said high temperature geothermal heat source is derived from injecting brine from a selected earth surface location into high temperature hot, dry rock for absorbing said heat energy therefrom and returning said brine to said earth surface location and passing it through a counterflow heat exchanger to completely evaporate said water to produce said dry saturated steam at said first high temperature and pressure; (b) then superheating said dry saturated steam to produce steam at a second high temperature and at said first high pressure using an amount of heat energy which is less than about 30% of said total amount of heat energy; and (c) then applying said superheated steam at said high pressure to drive a large scale electric power turbine generator. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein:(a) said first high temperature is about 350° C. (about 660° F.); and (b) said high pressure is about 1800 psi; and (c) said second high temperature is about 540° C. (about 1000° F.) so that said heat energy from said geothermal high temperature heat source provides more than about 70% of all heat energy used in said method of electric power generation. Description
In addition to its value as a major energy source for utilization temperatures at or below 350° C. (662° F.), geothermal energy derived from hot, dry-rock within the Earth's crust, can be used in a hybrid thermal cycle, with natural gas, ethanol, or other clean-burning fuel, for large scale production of electric power and energy, with a minimal emission to the atmosphere of products of combustion. In such a hybrid cycle, sensible and latent heat required to produce dry, saturated steam at a relatively high pressure, would be supplied from a geothermal source. The dry, saturated steam would then be superheated, to a desired temperature, by heat derived from combustion of a fossil fuel, natural gas, or a clean burning chemical fuel. For steam conditions of 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 1000° F. temperature, 78% of the required heat energy would be supplied from a geothermal source and 22% from a fossil fuel source.
Hot, dry-rock, geothermal energy can be extracted from the Earth's crust at practically any location in the World. However, geologic conditions, in the United States, are generally more favorable in the western half of the Nation, than in the eastern half. In the western half, a desired geothermal temperature generally can be reached at a lesser depth of penetration of the crust, and therefore at a lower cost. For optimum mid-continent conditions, having an average temperature gradient of 50° C. (122° F.) per kilometer of crust penetration, a temperature of 350° C. (662° F.) can be reached at a depth of 7 km (23,000 ft.). Such temperature is presently considered to be the maximum temperature that can be obtained at the existing level of well-drilling technology.
To obtain a steam temperature higher than 662° F., a hybrid cycle is considered necessary. In the preferred embodiment hybrid cycle, pressurized geothermal brine is brought to the Earth's surface and circulated in an array of counter-flow heat exchangers to produce dry, saturated steam at 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 662° F. temperature. A fossil-fueled superheated is then used to raise the temperature of the geothermally produced dry, saturated steam to 1000° F. Thus, high-quality turbine steam, at conditions of 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 1000° F. temperature, is made available for large-scale production of electric power and energy. For steam conditions of 1800 pounds per square inch pressure and 1000° F. temperature, 78% of the required heat energy would be supplied from a geothermal source and 22% from a fossil fuel source.

Where Manual Labor Is the Price of Academic Excellence - The New York Times
U.S.|Where Manual Labor Is the Price of Academic Excellence
Where Manual Labor Is the Price of Academic Excellence
By SCOTT JAMES SEPT. 30, 2010
For parents at Miraloma Elementary School in San Francisco, the quest for academic achievement means getting their hands dirty.
On a cold, foggy Wednesday morning recently, seven parents huddled around an outdoor table scrubbing stalks of organic celery for snack time. They had just finished cleaning and portioning a mound of Gala apples. Inside, three vacuum cleaners stood sentry in the hallway, at the ready for parents to tidy classroom carpets.
“You need to pick up where the state falls off,” said Rossana Rossetto, the mother of a first grader.
Welcome to the New Math of education: chores equal scores.
Parents are involved in nearly every level of school operations at Miraloma — from academics to the grunt work of food preparation, gardening and cleaning.
The results could have parents in other schools grabbing mops and heading to classrooms: In a few years, Miraloma has gone from being one of the poorest performing and least desirable schools in the city to being one of the highest scoring on academic tests and the most coveted.
In 2005, Miraloma scored 651 out of 1000 on California’s Academic Performance Index. Results released last week show a score of 865, among the city’s best.
“There were 450 parent requests for 37 open kindergarten spots this year,” said Ron Machado, the school’s principal.
On a recent visit to one of the school’s kindergarten classes, a half-dozen parents were assisting children alongside a teacher and one teacher’s aide. Most parental involvement entailed learning, but the manual chores are indicative of how far families will go to help a school succeed.
The extra hands have also been important during the recession when public schools must cope with budget issues. Miraloma, with 362 students from kindergarten to fifth grade, employs two custodians and two kitchen workers for maintenance and meals. To get beyond those basics, parents work in the school’s educational garden (complete with two chickens), prepare and provide organic snacks, and even do landscaping.
Ellie Rossiter, executive director of Parents for Public Schools, a nonprofit group that advocates for families in the school system, witnessed Miraloma’s transition firsthand. “Seven years ago when my child enrolled there, no one thought it was a good school,” she said.
Ms. Rossiter and a dozen other parents credited the turnaround to the school’s most recent principals, including Mr. Machado, a charming and creative former teacher who took charge five years ago. He once inspired students by promising to shave his hair into a Mohawk if test scores improved — a photo of him with that resplendent pink hairdo is on the school’s Web site.
“He makes it his job to make the family part of the school,” Ms. Rossiter said.
Miraloma is just one example in San Francisco’s public schools where parental involvement is having an impact. Standing at the celery-scrubbing table, parents easily rattled off the names of 10 other schools with high parental participation and correspondingly high test scores.
GreatSchools.org, a nonprofit organization that independently monitors school quality, recently ranked San Francisco as having the best public schools in California and No. 8 nationwide for cities with populations of 300,000 or more.
It is a ranking that defies conventional wisdom here. It is not unusual for San Francisco residents to bemoan the public schools — a reputation that experts say has developed due to the city’s complex system that requires parents to apply for schools, rather than to have their children attend whichever school is closest. Fears of ending up in a poor-performing school have unfairly tainted the whole system, experts say.
Matthew Hardy of the United Educators of San Francisco, the teachers’ union, said that the belief that the public school system is a failure was “one of those truths that isn’t true.”
What is true, however, is that not all parents can donate their days. The schools that tend to have the most parental participation also have more middle-class families. Miraloma’s success has come at a price: fewer children from working-class homes.
Still, there is a feeling that any school can improve if the parents get involved.
Monica McGee has had children at Miraloma for nearly a decade and remembers what failure looked like.
“Eight years ago there was no parental participation,” Ms. McGee said. “It was like a ghost town.”
Now, with grades soaring, pass the celery brush.

I'm a Buddha Fan
Ordered these, thinking it was a set of three. I didn't see anything on the detail or description page saying anything different. So that was confusing. When my order arrived, I received the medium size Buddha. The color is great, a light gray. I noticed that the face texture is a bit mottled, not real smooth or consistently rough, but looks more like "acne". The base has a very nice rubber pad attached. I thought these were more outdoor pieces, but with the padding, I may use it inside. The size is as expected for the medium, and all other features are very nice. I'm disappointed that it's not a set of three for the price.
John C. Mar 7, 2019
The Buddha head is received broken with the head and base separated. The gross description and the color is exactly same as described. I am not sure why this thing break? Waiting for the replacement. Earlier, had received a wrong item instead due to a shipping error from the warehouse. Overstock. Com staff were extremely helpful through these ordeals

I ordered the medium buddha statue. I agree with the other reviewer's comment: "I noticed that the face texture is a bit mottled, not real smooth or consistently rough, but looks more like "acne." " Overall it's ok, but the face isn't as detailed and smooth as I'd hoped. Also, I must have missed the weight dimensions. THIS THING IS HEAVY!

Love this Buddha bust. It is made very well, really heavy. Will stand the test of time in the garden. Very happy with my purchase!

Then think about different angles approaching the flame. My best piece of advice is to pick an item and LITTERRALLY make it 100 times.
permalink[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (2 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onMy best advice to add to that is before you make an object 100 times, MAKE SURE you have enough glass education to be making it RIGHT 100 times. Otherwise you're wasting your time and ingraining bad habits/wrong technique.

"Whiteside Overlook" by Steve Vaughn, Print on Canvas, Ready to Hang - 32 x 12
"Whiteside Overlook" gallery wrap canvas art by Steve Vaughn, 32"x12"Autumn is the most colorful time of year inspiring artists and photographers to create. Use autumn inspired art, paintings and drawings to bring color into your interior design. This painting printed on thick Gallery Wrap Canvas is printed using the latest Giclee techniques on museum grade canvas. Our Giclee printer uses 12 colors to create a rich color gamut giving the deep dark and subtle highlights of an original painting. Our gallery wrap canvases are printed on 100% thick cotton canvas because we noticed that the cheap poly canvas our competitors are using is "sagging" or "draping". 100% thick cotton canvas will loosen naturally when the wood expands and it will shrink like fresh jeans just out of the drier when the wood shrinks. The canvas is then stretched over kiln dried - finger jointed pine. With finger jointing technology the wood stays straight and strong. Finger jointed pine frames are superior to other stretcher frames because we cut around the knots and re-join the wood using the finger jointing technology. When wood expands and contracts around knotty wood it changes it's shape. With finger jointing technology the wood stays straight and strong. The resulting piece of art will last for years of enjoyment.

The tone of the question implies we're not looking for a "hearts and minds" solution here. Syphilis brought by European sailors seems to have effectively "pacified" the natives of the Americas. Obvious warnings concerning the grandfather paradox apply.
