Ten Formal Complaints in Six Months Apparently after receiving three, you are meant to have some kind of formal meeting between the parties involved but this never happened. According to the rules, if there are five complaints, an external mediator has to be bought in. This didn't happen either and I was quite disappointed. I don't really have anything against Simon apart from the fact that he likes the band Nickelback and I have no idea what his problem with me is, as I'm pretty sure I am an absolute pleasure to work with. I brought in donuts once, which is pretty nice. Click here to watch me on the roller-coaster. Click here if you want to see the Justin Bieber files for some reason.

Stolen Camera Finder - find your photos, find your camera Iron Man-style jet pack 'Flyboard' lets you become a human dolphin Machine can propel user 30ft into the air By Ted Thornhill Updated: 19:36 GMT, 6 December 2011 Ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? Well now you can thanks to an Iron Man-style jet pack called a Flyboard. Built by water sports enthusiast Franky Zapata, from Marseille, the wearer straps his or her feet into shoes that are attached to powerful water jets, providing lift, with hand-guided nozzles stabilising the flight. Earlier this year much excitement was generated by the water-powered Jetlev jetpack, but the difference with the Flyboard is that you can dive back in the water and out again. Up from the depths: Zapata powers to the surface Take off: Zapata flies along just like a dolphin Sea-ing is believing: Zapata crashes back under the surface High life: The Flyboard can hit heights of 30 feet The other difference is the price. The power of the water is controlled by an operator on the jetski, which has to have at least 100hp to operate the Flyboard.

Mirage effect from thermally modulated transparent carbon nanotube sheets The single-beam mirage effect, also known as photothermal deflection, is studied using a free-standing, highly aligned carbon nanotube aerogel sheet as the heat source. The extremely low thermal capacitance and high heat transfer ability of these transparent forest-drawn carbon nanotube sheets enables high frequency modulation of sheet temperature over an enormous temperature range, thereby providing a sharp, rapidly changing gradient of refractive index in the surrounding liquid or gas. The advantages of temperature modulation using carbon nanotube sheets are multiple: in inert gases the temperature can reach > 2500 K; the obtained frequency range for photothermal modulation is ~ 100 kHz in gases and over 100 Hz in high refractive index liquids; and the heat source is transparent for optical and acoustical waves.
Japan Status David Cameron Pretending to be Common In a nod to his felonious Bullingdon days, David Cameron uses the gangster term “sick” in order to describe his restaurant-smashing kindred spirits. David Cameron is photographed dismantling the NHS brick by brick. His press adviser remains unfazed by the evidence as Cameron is wearing a shirt which is not 100% cotton. Watch David Cameron as he touches the hand of a lowly constituent without the aid of gloves or antibacterial gel. Heart-warming. Staying true to his working-class roots, David Cameron defies his wife’s wishes by picking IKEA over Clarice Cliff. You can now “Like” David Cameron Pretending to be Common on Facebook. We don’t even have the minimal 25 fans needed to recieve a URL. David Cameron woos an NHS nurse with his anecdote about Boris Johnson using the wrong sized dessert spoon for elevenses. A Conservative publicist steers David Cameron towards a more suitable PR setting after his loud proclamation “I like this graffiti because it is like Caravaggio for urban people”
