2degrees or not 2degrees?

Coming back to New Zealand from Australia, I was faced with needing to pick a telco to use. I’ve used all three New Zealand networks in the past few years (all pre-4G/LTE) and don’t have any particular reason/loyalty to use any specific network.

I decided to stay on the 2degrees network that I had parked my number on before going to Sydney, so I figured I’d put together a brief review of how I’ve found them and what I think about it so far.

Generally there were three main incentives for me to stay on 2degrees:

  1. AU/NZ mobile or landline minutes are all treated equally. As I call and SMS my friends and colleagues in AU all the time, this works very nicely. And if I need to visit AU, their roaming rates aren’t unaffordable.
  2. All plans come with free data sharing between devices – I can share my data with up to 5 devices at no extra cost. Laptop with 3G, tablet, spare phone? No worries, get a SIM card and share away.
  3. Rollover minutes & data – what you don’t use in one month accrues for up to a year.

And of course their pricing is sharp – coming into the New Zealand market as the underdog, 2degrees started going after the lower end prepay market, before moving up to offer a more sophisticated data network.

For $29, I’m now getting 1GB of data, 300 minutes AU/NZ and unlimited SMS AU/NZ. But also received an additional once-off bonus of 2GB data for moving to a no-commitment plan and another 200MB per month as a bonus for my data shared device; it’s insanely good value really.

Of course good pricing and features aren’t any good if the quality of the service is poor or the data-rate substandard. 2degrees still lack 4G/LTE in Wellington (has just been introduced in Auckland) which is going to set them back a bit, however they do still deliver quite a decent result.

Performance of my 1 year old Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (LTE/4G model operating on 3G-only network) was good with a 22.16 Mb/s download and 2.56 MB/s upload from my CBD apartment. It’s actually faster than the apartment WiFi ISP provider currently. (Unsure why the ping below is so bad, it’s certainly not that bad when testing… possibly some issue with the app on my device).

889233841It does pay to have a good device – older devices aren’t necessarily capable of the same speeds, the performance with my 4 year old Lenovo X201i with Qualcomm Gobi 2000 built-in 3G hardware is quite passable, but it’s not quite the speed demon of my cellphone at only 6.16 Mb/s down and 0.36 Mb/s up. Still faster than many ADSL connections however, I was only getting about 4 Mb/s down in my Sydney CBD apartment recently!

3618043332Whilst I haven’t got any metrics to show, the performance outside of the cities in regional and rural areas is still reasonable. 2degrees roams onto Vodafone for parts of their coverage outside the main areas, which means that you need to make sure your phone/device is configured to allow national data roaming (or you’ll get *no* data coverage), and it also means you’re suspectable to Vodafone’s network performance, which is one of the worst I’ve used (yes AU readers, even worse than Vodafone AU).

Generally the performance is perfectly fine for my requirements – I don’t download heaps of data, but I do use a lot of applications that are latency and packet loss sensitive. I look forwards to seeing what it’s like once 2degrees get their LTE network in Wellington and I can get the full capability out of my phone hardware.

2degrees is also trailing a service of offering free WiFi access – I’m in the trial and have been testing, generally the WiFi is very speedy and I was getting speeds of around 21 Mb/s down and 9 Mb/s up whilst walking around, but it’s let down by the poor transition that Android (and presumably other vendors) make when moving between WiFi and 3G networks. Because the WiFi signal hangs on longer than it can actually sustain traffic, it leads to small service dropouts in data when moving between the two networks – this isn’t 2degrees’ fault, rather a limitation of WiFi and the way Android handles it, but it reflects badly on telco hybrid WiFi/GSM network approaches.

It’s not all been perfect – I’ve had some issues with 2degrees, mostly when using them as a prepay provider. The way data is handled for prepay differs to on-plan, and it’s possible to consume all your available data, then eat through your credit without any warning, something that cost me a bit more than I would like a couple of times when on prepay.

This is fixed with on-plan, which gives you tight spend control (define how much you want to cap your bill at) and also has a mode that allows you to block non-plan based data spend, to avoid some unexpected usage generating you an expensive bill. I’d recommend going with one of their plans rather than their prepay because of this functionality alone, not to mention that the plans tend to offer a bit better value.
On the plus side, their twitter support was fantastic and sorted me out with extra data credit in compensation. Their in-store support has also been great, when I went to buy an extra SIM ($5) to data share to my laptop, the guy at the counter told me about a promotion, gave me a free SIM and chucked 200MB/month on it, all that I wasn’t expecting.

It’s a nice change, generally telco customer service is some of the worst examples around, so it’s nice to have a positive interaction, although 2degrees do need to make an effort to stop having certain spend protections limited to their plan customers and not prepay – A good customer service interaction is nice, but not having to talk to them in the first place is even better.

So how do I find 2degrees compared to the other networks? I’ve found NZ networks generally a mixed bag in the past – Telecom XT has been the best performing one, but I’ve always found their pricing a bit high and Vodafone is just all round poor in both customer service and data performance. With the current introduction of 4G/LTE by all the networks, it’s a whole another generation of technology and what’s been a good or bad network in the past, may no longer apply, but we need to wait another year or so for the coverage and uptake to increase to see how it performs under load.

For now the low cost and free data sharing of up to 5 devices will keep me on 2degrees for quite some time. If someone else was paying, maybe I’d consider Telecom XT for the bit better performance, but the value of 2degrees is too good to ignore.

Like anything, your particular use case and requirements may vary – shop around and see what makes sense for your requirements.

I loved this dress. The exact measurements customized. Very attentive staff, the shipping was exactly when I was told. I definitely recommend this shop I give 10 stars. I was fascinated by my dress and my guests too.

Fit perfectly based on dimensions. Material is beautiful. Everyone loves.

I was so nervous when I purchased this dress. I waited to the last minute to order this. My soon to be mother in law talked to the online customer support where they were able to change my order status to priority therefore making my dress arrive on time. I'm very pleased to say that the dress FIT, and it fit perfectly. The material is a very nice and heavy. I examined the dress multiple times and couldn't find the first thing wrong with it. It was FLAWLESS and PERFECT!

Ame este vestido me quedo perfecto ! El material es de muy buena cálida .

Better quality than I expected. Fits perfectly. Excellent customer service as well. Will definitely purchase more in the future.

Absolutely PERFECT for my upcoming beach wedding in May 2017! I didn't order it custom because the size 4 was already my exact measurements. It's made very sturdy, feels almost like the bone corsets in the mid section. My ONLY problem is I wasn't taking into consideration how tall the model is modeling this dress and I'm only 5'0, so I do have to get it hemmed. So if you're short like me I do recommend ordering it custom so it won't be a tad too long for a short dress. That was totally my own fault though. Other than that this is my perfect dream beach wedding dress!!!! It came a lot faster than expected, Too! But amazing quality for an amazing price. Will definitely post pics after my wedding!

Beautiful high quality fabric. I suggest doing a custom size. I ordered a custom size and it fit perfectly. I used this for brunch and for my reception dress.

If every business was like JJ's what a happy world it would be. Excellent range of choice, user friendly website, excellent correspondence with staff on chat. Nothing is to much trouble for them, and they go to all extents to help ' The Individual' A rare thing these days, so I rate them 11/10.

We placed our order on the 8th and received it on the 21st.
Being able to use the track and trace service is excellent and gave us a great idea on delivery times.
The dress was packaged perfectly, sealed in a plastic bag and was just as the photo depicts...absolutely STUNNING when my partner put it on, she looked STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS and we are so happy with the dress, are over the moon and cannot wait to take our vows....
A huge THANK YOU for such beautiful work and for creating such a gorgeous dress...

VERY well made. I was surprised at how substantial the dress was. It is fully lined, and very heavy construction. Looks great on, too! Couldn't be happier. Ordering was a breeze, shipping was quick. Thanks!

Taller construcción y restauración de órganos

Organ building workshop – Joaquín Lois Cabello

Our organ building workshop has been devoted to building and restoring pipe organs since 1972. It is located in Tordesillas, Valladolid (Spain), where it was settled in 1985. We have carried out many important jobs in different regions of Spain (both on the peninsula and the islands), Ibero-America and Europe. Regarding both restorations and the construction of brand new organsour work process is truly comprehensive and encompasses from historical research to the construction of all the mechanical parts, the metal and wooden pipe work as well as the case. It also includes polychromy, gilding and any kind of ornamentation.

The philosophy of our organ building workshop lays emphasis on the retrieval of the traditional techniques and the knowledge of the different schools. We conceive each instrument as a research project, both restorations and brand new organs.

Our workshop focuses mainly on Castilian Baroque organs or Iberian organs, and its location, in the heart of Castilla y León, has allowed us to delve into their study and research easily and to restore and build a large number of Iberian organs.

    How to retrieve each part of the Date Time fields separately?

    Asked by securenetwork on January 16, 2017 at 10:30 AM

    So I wanted to know what are the form fields for each of the "date+time" fields. That way I can add specific pieces to confirmation emails sent to people who fill out the form. Example, if I want to send just the "year, hour, and minute" fields to a client in a email. See attached.

    Do not do opposite action on condition

    Asked by Junior Ramaga  on August 13, 2015 at 12:37 PM

    staff when I create a rule condition and the conditions it is also contrary, the more I wanted him not to do the opposite, just took the order provided:

     As example:

     if 1 is equal to 2

     shown in box 3

     however if no one is equal to 2 the hidden box, he always does the opposite as well.

     I wanted it just took and not the opposite.

    JotForm Support

    Answered by EltonCris on August 13, 2015 at 01:50 PM

    Just to clarify, you are having issues with show/hide condition?

    Base on your example:

    If 1 is equal to 2, show 3

    This is fine however you don't need to add additional condition to hide the 3 if 1 is not equal to 2 since the 3 field will be hidden by default until the above condition is met. Is this what you mean with your question? If not, kindly provide more details so we can assist you further.

    Thank you!

    It is not likely that we can disable the opposite conditions behavior.

    Can you please provide us with more information about your goal? We can try to see if there are any workarounds.

    How do I use the Form Tab widget?

    Asked by rband on August 17, 2015 at 04:42 PM

    I need to have a total of 6 tabs for the form.  I have named the 6 tabs but I don't know how to create the additional tabs.  Help!

    JotForm Support

    Answered by EltonCris on August 17, 2015 at 10:26 PM

    Form Tabs will only work when you have Page Break on your form. Page break is under Survey Tools. This turns your form into multiple pages. So when you have a total 6 pages on your form, that should reveal the 6 tabs on your form once you added the Form Tab Widget.

    That is also explained on the widget information here: http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/form_tabs

    If you need further help, let us know.

    I am evaluating your service vs WuFoo. I really like what I see with your service.  I have a question about what is a "submission" in the context of the pricing model.

    If I have a form with, for example, 10 entries to be made via 10 fields that I will be creating in my form, when a person who fills out that form presses submit, for pricing purposes, is that 1 submission OR 10 submissions?

    Thank you

    Thank you for your feedback. I would like to inform you that every time a form is submitted, it will count as 1 submission. So based on your scenario, that submission will be counted as 1. To expand on that, please note that you can add as many fields as you like to your form and once it is submitted by one person, it will still count as 1 submission. If 10 people submit the form, then that will be 10 submissions.

The combined U-series/electron spin resonance (ESR) dating method was applied to nine teeth from two Early Pleistocene archaeological sites located in the Orce area (Guadix-Baza Basin, Southern Spain): Fuente Nueva-3 (FN-3) and Barranco León (BL). The combination of biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy places both sites between the Olduvai and Jaramillo subchrons (1.78-1.07. Ma).Our results highlight the difficulty of dating such old sites and point out the limits of the combined U-series/ESR dating method based on the US model. We identified several sources of uncertainties that may lead to inaccurate age estimates. Seven samples could not be dated because the dental tissues had ( 230 Th/ 234 U) activity ratios higher than equilibrium, indicating that uranium had probably leached from these tissues. It was however possible to calculate numerical estimates for two of the teeth, both from FN-3. One yielded a Middle Pleistocene age that seems to be strongly underestimated; the other provided an age of 1.19±0.21Ma, in agreement with data obtained from independent methods. The latter result gives encouragement that there are samples that can be used for routine dating of old sites. © 2012 University of Washington.

A lake-level record of Lake Ledro (northern Italy) spans the entire Holocene with a chronology derived from 51 radiocarbon dates. It is based on a specific sedimentological approach that combines data from five sediment profiles sampled in distinct locations in the littoral zone. On a millennial scale, the lake-level record shows two successive periods from 11,700 to 4500calyr BP and from 4500calyr BP to the present, characterized by lower and higher average lake levels, respectively. In addition to key seasonal and inter-hemispherical changes in insolation, the major hydrological change around 4500calyr BP may be related to a non-linear response of the climate system to orbitally-driven gradual decrease in insolation. The Ledro record questions the notion of an accentuated summer rain regime in the northern Mediterranean borderlands during the boreal insolation maximum. Moreover, the Ledro record highlights that the Holocene was punctuated by successive centennial-scale highstands. Correlations with the Preboreal oscillation and the 8.2ka event, and comparison with the atmospheric 14 C residual record, suggest that short-lived lake-level fluctuations developed at Ledro in response to (1) final steps of the deglaciation in the North Atlantic area and (2) variations in solar activity. © 2012 University of Washington.

The way in which the NE Tibetan Plateau uplifted and its impact on climatic change are crucial to understanding the evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and the development of the present geomorphology and climate of Central and East Asia. This paper is not a comprehensive review of current thinking but instead synthesises our past decades of work together with a number of new findings. The dating of Late Cenozoic basin sediments and the tectonic geomorphology of the NE Tibetan Plateau demonstrates that the rapid persistent rise of this plateau began ~ 8 ± 1 Ma followed by stepwise accelerated rise at ~ 3.6 Ma, 2.6 Ma, 1.8-1.7 Ma, 1.2-0.6 Ma and 0.15 Ma. The Yellow River basin developed at ~ 1.7 Ma and evolved to its present pattern through stepwise backward-expansion toward its source area in response to the stepwise uplift of the plateau. High-resolution multi-climatic proxy records from the basins and terrace sediments indicate a persistent stepwise accelerated enhancement of the East Asian winter monsoon and drying of the Asian interior coupled with the episodic tectonic uplift since ~ 8 Ma and later also with the global cooling since ~ 3.2 Ma, suggesting a major role for tectonic forcing of the cooling. © 2014 University of Washington.

Investigation of Lake Allos sediments revealed ~. 160 graded layers, interpreted as flood deposits, over the last 1400. yr. Comparisons with records of historic floods support the interpretation of flood deposits and suggest that most recorded flood events are the result of intense meso-scale precipitation events. As there is no evidence for any major changes in erosion processes in the catchment since the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), we interpret the Allos record in terms of repeated intense precipitation events over the last millennium, with a low flood frequency during the MWP and more frequent and more intense events during the Little Ice Age. This interpretation is consistent with the pattern of increasingly humid conditions in the northwestern Mediterranean region. This long-term trend is superimposed on high frequency oscillations that correlate with solar activity and autumnal North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Finally, a comparison of flood records across the northwestern Mediterranean region showed that intense precipitation events in Allos (east of the RhÔne Valley) were out of phase with events in the Cévennes (west of the RhÔne) but in phase with events in eastern Spain. Supported by meteorological analyses, this suggests an oscillation in atmospheric circulation patterns over the northwestern Mediterranean. © 2012 University of Washington.

A high-resolution record of paleostorm events along the French Mediterranean coast over the past 7000. years was established from a lagoonal sediment core in the Gulf of Lions. Integrating grain size, faunal analysis, clay mineralogy and geochemistry data with a chronology derived from radiocarbon dating, we recorded seven periods of increased storm activity at 6300-6100, 5650-5400, 4400-4050, 3650-3200, 2800-2600, 1950-1400 and 400-50. cal. yr BP (in the Little Ice Age). In contrast, our results show that the Medieval Climate Anomaly (1150-650. cal. yr BP) was characterised by low storm activity.The evidence for high storm activity in the NW Mediterranean Sea is in agreement with the changes in coastal hydrodynamics observed over the Eastern North Atlantic and seems to correspond to Holocene cooling in the North Atlantic. Periods of low SSTs there may have led to a stronger meridional temperature gradient and a southward migration of the westerlies. We hypothesise that the increase in storm activity during Holocene cold events over the North Atlantic and Mediterranean regions was probably due to an increase in the thermal gradient that led to an enhanced lower tropospheric baroclinicity over a large Central Atlantic-European domain. © 2011 University of Washington.

The Qaidam Basin is the largest intermontane basin of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau and contains a continuous Cenozoic sequence of lacustrine sediments. A ~. 1000-m-deep drilling (SG-1) with an average core recovery of ~. 95% was carried out in the depocenter of the Chahansilatu playa (sub-depression) in the western Qaidam Basin, aimed to obtain a high-resolution record of the paleoenvironmental evolution and the erosion history. Stepwise alternating field and thermal demagnetization, together with rock magnetic results, revealed a stable remanent magnetization for most samples, carried by magnetite. The polarity sequence consisted of 16 normal and 15 reverse zones which can be correlated with chrons 1n to 2An of the global geomagnetic polarity time scale. Magnetostratigraphic results date the entire core SG-1 at ~. 2.77. Ma to ~. 0.1. Ma and yielded sediment accumulation rate (SAR) ranging from 26.1. cm/ka to 51.5. cm/ka. Maximum SARs occurred within the intervals of ~. 2.6-2.2. Ma and after ~. 0.8. Ma, indicating two episodes of erosion, which we relate to pulse tectonic uplift of the NE Tibetan Plateau with subsequent global cooling. © 2012 University of Washington.

Geomorphic mapping and stratigraphic analysis of a lake core document the late Quaternary glacial history of the Central and Eastern Massifs of the Picos de Europa, northwestern Spain. The distribution of glacial deposits indicates that at their most advanced positions glaciers occupied 9.1km 2 , extended as far as 7km down-valley and had an estimated equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) ranging between 1666 and 1722m. Radiocarbon dating of sediment deposited in a lake dammed by moraines of this advance show that the maximum glacial extent was prior to 35,280±440calyr BP. This advance was followed by two subsequent but less extensive late Pleistocene advances, recorded by multiple moraines flanking both massifs and sedimentary characteristics in the lake deposits. The last recognized glacial episode is the 19th-century maximum extent of small Little Ice Age glaciers in the highest cirques above 2200m. © 2012 University of Washington.

New data and a review of historiographic information from Neolithic sites of the Malaga and Algarve coasts (southern Iberian Peninsula) and from the Maghreb (North Africa) reveal the existence of a Neolithic settlement at least from 7.5. cal. ka BP. The agricultural and pastoralist food producing economy of that population rapidly rep laced the coastal economies of the Mesolithic populations. The timing of this population and economic turnover coincided with major changes in the continental and marine ecosystems, including upwelling intensity, sea-level changes and increased aridity in the Sahara and along the Iberian coast. These changes likely impacted the subsistence strategies of the Mesolithic populations along the Iberian seascapes and resulted in abandonments manifested as sedimentary hiatuses in some areas during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition. The rapid expansion and area of dispersal of the early Neolithic traits suggest the use of marine technology. Different evidences for a Maghrebian origin for the first colonists have been summarized. The recognition of an early North-African Neolithic influence in Southern Iberia and the Maghreb is vital for understanding the appearance and development of the Neolithic in Western Europe. Our review suggests links between climate change, resource allocation, and population turnover. © 2011 University of Washington.

Aeolian deposits at four sites in the Gonghe Basin were used to reconstruct the history of aeolian activity over the late Quaternary. These deposits include well-sorted aeolian sand, paleosols and/or loess. Aeolian sand represents dune -field expansion and/or dune buildup, whereas paleosols indicate stabilization of dunes, accompanying ameliorated vegetation cover. On the basis of 25 dates by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), it appears that aeolian activities occurred episodically at 33.5, 20.3, 13.9, 11.8-11.0, 9.4, 7.8, and 5.7 (5.5) ka, which is largely consistent with the recent findings from the adjacent semi-arid areas. Aeolian sand mobility occurring during the early to mid Holocene conflicts with a climatic optimum inferred from lacustrine records in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. This inconsistency may be resolved by interpreting aeolian activity as a response to decreased effective moisture due to enhanced evaporation, induced by higher summer insolation at that time, together with local terrain and its effects on moisture. Our results suggest that aeolian sand and paleosol cannot be simply ascribed to regional dry and wet climates, respectively, and they most likely reflect changes in effective moisture. © 2013 University of Washington.

The statistical distributions of cosmogenic nuclide measurements from moraine boulders contain previously unused information on moraine ages, and they help determine whether moraine degradation or inheritance is more important on individual moraines. Here, we present a method for extracting this information by fitting geomorphic process models to observed exposure ages from single moraines. We also apply this method to 94 10 Be apparent exposure ages from 11 moraines reported in four published studies. Our models represent 10 Be accumulation in boulders that are exhumed over time by slope processes (moraine degradation), and the delivery of boulders with preexisting 10 Be inventories to moraines (inheritance). For now, we neglect boulder erosion and snow cover, which are likely second-order processes. Given a highly scattered data set, we establish which model yields the better fit to the data, and estimate the age of the moraine from the better model fit. The process represented by the better-fitting model is probably responsible for most of the scatter among the apparent ages. Our methods should help resolve controversies in exposure dating; we reexamine the conclusions from two published studies based on our model fits. © 2011 University of Washington.

In central Western Europe, several studies have shown that colder Holocene periods, such as the Little Ice Age, also correspond to wet periods. However, in mountain areas which are highly sensitive to erosion processes and where precipitation events can be localized, past evolution of hydrological activity might be more complicated. To assess these past hydrological changes, a paleolimnological approach was applied on a 13.4-m-long sediment core taken in alpine Lake Anterne (2063. m asl) and representing the last 3.5. ka. Lake sedimentation is mainly composed of flood deposits triggered by precipitation events. Sedimentological and geochemical analyses show that floods were more frequent during cold periods while high-intensity flood events occurred preferentially during warmer periods. In mild temperature conditions, both flood patterns are present. This underlines the complex relationship between flood hazards and climatic change in mountain areas. During the warmer and/or dryer times of the end of Iron Age and the Roman Period, both the frequency and intensity of floods increased. This is interpreted as an effect of human-induced clearing for grazing activities and reveals that anthropogenic interferences must be taken into account when reconstructing climatic signals from natural archives. © 2011 University of Washington.

We studied the mid-Holocene climate change in eastern Qinghai Province, China and its impact on the evolution of Majiayao (3980-2050 BC) and Qijia (2183-1635 BC) cultures, near the important Neolithic site of Changning. The investigation focused on analyses of grain size, magnetic susceptibility, ratios of elemental contents, and pollen assemblage from a loess-paleosol sequence. The results indicate that the climate was wet during 5830-4900. cal. yr BP, which promoted the development of early-mid Majiayao culture in eastern Qinghai Province. However, 4900-4700. cal. yr BP were drought years in the region, responsible for the decline and eastward movement of prehistoric culture during the period of transition from early-mid to late Majiayao culture. The climate turned wet again during 4700-3940. cal. yr BP, which accelerated the spread of Qijia culture to the middle reaches of the Huangshui River, including the Changning site. © 2011 University of Washington.

Lake high-stand sediments are found in three onshore terraces at Lake Donggi Cona, northeastern Tibetan Plateau, and reveal characteristics of hydrological changes on lake shorelines triggered by climate change, geomorphological processes, and neo-tectonic movements. The terraces consist of fluvial-alluvial to littoral-lacustrine facies. End-member modeling of grain-size distributions allowed quantification of sediment transport processes and relative lake levels during times of deposition. Radiocarbon dating revealed higher than modern lake levels during the early and mid Holocene. Lake levels follow the trend of Asian monsoon dynamics, and are modified by local non-climatic drivers. Site-specific impacts explain fluctuations during the initial lake-level rise ~. 11. cal. ka BP. Maximum lake extension reached ~ 9.2 cal. ka BP, at ~ 16.5 m above present lake level (a.p.l.l.). Littoral and lacustrine sed iment deposition paused during a phase of fluvial activity and post-depositional cryoturbations at ~ 8.5 cal. ka BP, when the lake level fell to ~ 8 m a.p.l.l. After a second maximum at ~ 7.5 cal. ka BP, lake level declined slightly at ~ 6.8 cal. ka BP, probably due to a non-climatic pulse that caused lake opening. The level remained high until a transition towards drier conditions ~ 4.7 cal. ka BP. Though discontinuous, high-stand sediments provide a unique, high-resolution archive. © 2013 University of Washington.

A study of six tephra layers discovered in different deposits between 1600 and 2700 m. a.s.l. in the Apennine chain in central Italy allowed precise stratigraphic constraints on environmental and climatic changes between ca. 4.5 and 3.8. cal ka BP. Chemical analyses allowed the correlation of these tephra layers with the eruptions of Agnano Mt Spina (AMST) from Phlegrean Field and Avellino (AVT) from Somma-Vesuvius. Major environmental changes in the high mountains of the Central Apennines occurred just after the deposition of the AMST and predate the deposition of the AVT. At this time, renewed growth of the Calderone Glacier occurred, marking the onset of the Apennine "Neoglacial". The presence of the AMST and AVT enabled us to make a precise, physical correlation with other archives in central Italy. Synchronization of records between sites showed that the period intervening the deposition of the AMST and AVT layers coincided with environmental changes that were not always exactly in phase. This highlights the fact that stratigraphic correlations using only radiocarbon chronologies (the most common method used for dating archives during the Holocene) could produce erroneous correlation of events, giving rise to oversimplified paleoclimatic reconstructions. © 2012 University of Washington.

This study contributes to the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the loess-paleosol sequence of Nussloch, Germany, by using n-alkanes as plant leaf-wax-derived lipid biomarkers. We found that n-alkane patterns and concentrations in the Saalian loess and the last interglacial Eemian paleosol of Nussloch point to very strong degradation and prevailing deciduous vegetation. Degradation effects in the overlying paleosols and loess layers are less pronounced and allow for the application of an end-member mixing model to estimate vegetation changes semi-quantitatively. Our findings highlight the potential for the interpretation of degradation-corrected n-alkane ratios. n-Alkane modelling results for loess layers, paleosols and an in-filled paleochannel dated to ~60-32 ka suggest that up to ~50% of the n-alkanes were derived from deciduous trees or shrubs. This finding is in agreement with the abundant occurrence of wood fragments and indicates a highly variable and dynamic landscape dominated by tundra shrubland. On the other hand, deciduous trees or shrubs did not contribute significantly to the soil organic matter in the late Weichselian loess layers and the intercalated Gelic Gleysols (~32-18 ka). © 2012 University of Washington.

Surface exposure dating has become a helpful tool for establishing numeric glacial chronologies, particularly in arid high-mountain regions where radiocarbon dating is challenging due to limited availability of organic material. This study presents 13 new 10 Be surface exposure ages from the Kitschi-Kurumdu Valley in the At Bashi Range, Tien Shan. Three moraines were dated to ~15, 21 and > 56ka, respectively, and corroborate previous findings that glacial extents in the Tien Shan during Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 2 were limited compared to MIS 4. This likely documents increasingly arid conditions in Central Asia during the last glacial cycle. Morphological evidence in the Kitschi-Kurumdu Valley and a detailed review of existing numeric glacial chronologies from the Tien Shan indicate that remnants of the penultimate glaciation (MIS 6) are preserved, whereas evidence for MIS 5 glacier advances remains equivocal. Reviewed and recalculated exposure ages from the Pamir mountains, on the other hand, reveal extensive MIS 5 glacial extents that may indicate increased monsoonal precipitation. The preservation of MIS 3 moraines in the Tien Shan and the southern Pamir does not require any monsoonal influence and can be explained alternatively with increased precipitation via the westerlies. © 2011 University of Washington.

Late glacial and early Holocene summer temperatures were reconstructed based on fossil chironomid assemblages at Lake Brazi (Retezat Mountains) with a joint Norwegian-Swiss transfer function, providing an important addition to the late glacial quantitative climate reconstructions from Europe. The pattern of the late glacial temperature changes in Lake Brazi show both similarities and some differences from the NGRIP δ 18 O record and other European chironomid-based reconstructions. Our reconstruction indicates that at Lake Brazi (1740ma.s.l.) summer air temperature increased by ~2.8°C at the Oldest Dryas/Bølling transition (GS-2/GI-1) and reached 8.1-8.7°C during the late glacial interstade. The onset of the Younger Dryas (GS-1) was characterized by a weak ( < 1°C) decrease in chironomid-inferred temperatures. Similarly, at the GS-1/Holocene transition no major changes in summer temperature were recorded. In the early Holocene, summer temperature increased in two steps and reached ~12.0-13.3°C during the Preboreal. Two short-term cold events were detected during the early Holocene between 11,480-11,390 and 10,350-10,190calyr BP. The first cooling coincides with the Preboreal oscillation and shows a weak (0.7°C) temperature decrease, while the second is characterized by 1°C cooling. Both cold events coincide with cooling events in the Greenland ice core records and other European temperature reconstructions. © 2011.

Located on a mountain pass in the west-central Pyrenees, the Col d'Ech peat bog provides a Holocene fire and vegetation record based upon nine 14 C (AMS) dates. We aim to compare climate-driven versus human-driven fire regimes in terms of frequency, fire episodes distribution, and impact on vegetation. Our results show the mid-Holocene (8500-5500calyr BP) to be characterized by high fire frequency linked with drier and warmer conditions. However, fire occurrences appear to have been rather stochastic as underlined by a scattered chronological distribution. Wetter and colder conditions at the mid-to-late Holocene transition (4000-3000calyr BP) led to a decrease in fire frequency, probably driven by both climate and a subsequent reduction in human land use. On the contrary, from 3000calyr BP, fire frequency seems to be driven by agro-pastoral activities with a very regular distribution of events. During this period fire was used as a prominent agent of landscape management. © 2011 University of Washington.

We explore the possibility of building a continuous glacier reconstruction by analyzing the integrated sedimentary response of a large (440km 2 ) glacierized catchment in western Norway, as recorded in the downstream lake Nerfloen (N61°56', E6°52'). A multi-proxy numerical analysis demonstrates that it is possible to distinguish a glacier component in the ~8000-yr-long record, based on distinct changes in grain size, geochemistry, and magnetic composition. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reveals a strong common signal in the 15 investigated sedimentary parameters, with the first principal component explaining 77% of the total variability. This signal is interpreted to reflect glacier activity in the upstream catchment, an interpretation that is independently tested through a mineral magnetic provenance analysis of catchment samples. Minimum glacier input is indicated between 6700-5700calyr BP, probably reflecting a situation when most glaciers in the catchment had melted away, whereas the highest glacier activity is observed around 600 and 200calyr BP. During the local Neoglacial interval (~4200calyr BP until present), five individual periods of significantly reduced glacier extent are identified at ~3400, 3000-2700, 2100-2000, 1700-1500, and ~900calyr BP. © 2011 University of Washington.

High-resolution pollen and magnetic susceptibility (MS) analyses have been carried out on a sediment core taken from a high-elevation alpine bog area located in Sierra Nevada, southern Spain. The earliest part of the record, from 8200 to about 7000. cal. yr BP, is characterized by the highest abundance of arboreal pollen and Pediastrum, indicating the warmest and wettest conditions in the area at that time. The pollen record shows a progressive aridification since 7000. cal. yr BP that occurred in two steps, first shown by a decrease in Pinus, replaced by Poaceae from 7000 to 4600. cal. yr BP and then by Cyperaceae, Artemisia and Amaranthaceae from 4600 to 1200. cal. yr BP. Pediastrum also decreased progressively and totally disappeared at ca. 3000. yr ago. The progressive aridification is punctuated by periodically enhanced drought at ca. 6500, 5200 and 4000. cal. yr BP that coincide in timing and duration with well-known dry events in the Mediterranean and other areas. Since 1200. cal. yr BP, several changes are observed in the vegetation that probably indicate the high-impact of humans in the Sierra Nevada, with pasturing leading to nutrient enrichment and eutrophication of the bog, Pinus reforestation and Olea cultivation at lower elevations. © 2011 University of Washington.

The age distribution of detrital zircon has been used to trace sediment sources. Existing datasets show great similarity of zircon ages between the loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) and the sediments from the North Tibetan Plateau (NTP), implying that eolian dust is delivered from the NTP to the CLP by westerly winds or via the Yellow River. However, NTP dust can also be transported by northwesterly winds from the Alxa arid lands (AALs), where materials are received from both the NTP and the Gobi Altay Mountains (GAMs). Here we report U-Pb zircon ages for AALs sands and NTP and CLP loess. The results show that the zircons in the AALs are mixed from NTP and GAMs zircons. NTP loess is mainly derived from local sources. Mixing of materials from the NTP and GAMs defines the zircon ages of the loess on the CLP better than the pure NTP source. No temporal and spatial heterogeneities of zircon ages have been observed for the loess on the CLP, which suggests that the well-mixed materials in the AALs likely have an eolian source. © 2013 University of Washington.

The article presents a newly created precipitation data set for the African continent and describes the methodology used in its creation. It is based on a combination of proxy data and rain gauge records. The data set is semi-quantitative, with a "wetness" index of -. 3 to +. 3 to describe the quality of the rainy season. It covers the period AD 1801 to 1900 and includes data for 90 geographical regions of the continent. The results underscore a multi-decadal period of aridity early in the nineteenth century. © 2012 University of Washington.

The 1.5-ka varved record of Lake Montcortès (southern Pyrenees, NE Spain)
Juan Pablo Corella | Achim Brauer | Clara Mangili | Valentí Rull | Teresa Vegas-Vilarrúbia | Mario Morellón | Blas L. Valero-Garcés
The karstic Lake Montcortès sedimentary sequence spanning the last 1548. yr constitutes the first continuous, high-resolution, multi-proxy varved record in northern Spain. Sediments consist of biogenic varves composed of calcite, organic matter and detrital laminae and turbidite layers. Calcite layer thickness and internal sub-layering indicate changes in water temperature and seasonality whereas the frequency of detrital layers reflects rainfall variability. Higher temperatures occurred in Lake Montcortès in AD 555-738, 825-875, 1010-1322 and 1874-present. Lower temperatures and prolonged winter conditions were recorded in AD 1446-1598, 1663-1711 and 1759-1819. Extreme and multiple precipitation events dominated in AD 571-593, 848-922, 987-1086, 1168-1196, 1217-1249, 1444-1457, 1728-1741 and 1840-1875, indicating complex hydrological variability in NE Spain since AD 463. The sedimentary record of Lake Montcortès reveals a short-term relation between rainfall variability and the detrital influx, pronounced during extended periods of reduced anthropogenic influences. In pre-industrial times, during warm climate episodes, population and land use increased in the area. After the onset of the industrialization, the relationship between climate and human activities decoupled and population dynamics and landscape modifications were therefore mostly determined by socio-economic factors. © 2012 University of Washington.

The evolution processes and forcing mechanisms of the Horqin dunefield in northern China are poorly understood. In this study, systematic OSL dating of multiple sites is used together with pollen analysis of a representative section in order to reconstruct the evolution of the dunefield since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Our results show that there was extensive dune mobilization 25-10 ka, transition to stabilization 10-8 ka, considerable dune stabilization 8-3 ka, and multiple episodes of stabilization and mobilization after 3 ka. Comparison of dune evolution of the dunefields in northern China during the Holocene showed that Asian monsoon and resultant effective moisture have played an important role in the evolution of dunefields at the millennial time scale. Further analysis indicated that the dune evolution in the Horqin dunefield before 3 ka was synchronous with climatic changes. However, increasing human activity has impacted dune evolution during the last 3 ka. © 2012 University of Washington.

A deep-sea sediment core covering the last 20ka and located between the Polar and the Arctic fronts in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) of the central Fram Strait has been investigated for changes in paleoceanography and calcium carbonate preservation. The reconstruction is based on the distribution patterns of planktic foraminifera, mean shell weight and the degree of fragmentation of their shells, stable isotopes and other geochemical and sedimentological data. The results show that the planktic foraminifera shells are poorly preserved throughout most of the record. Only the intervals comprising the early Holocene from 10.8 to ~8calka BP and the last 800yr show improved preservation of CaCO 3 . The dissolution correlated with the extent of Arctic water and the associated marginal ice zone (MIZ) and high organic productivity. Dissolution of planktic foraminifera is generally high during the late deglaciation, mid and late Holocene prior to ~800calyr BP. The abundance of small subpolar species increases in the surface sediments dating from the last century, which could be interpreted as a large and significant surface water warming. However, this apparent high-magnitude warming seems to be overestimated due to preservation changes in the youngest sediments. © 2012 University of Washington.


text: Australian wine companies have cut prices in the crucial under-A$10 market to try and reinvigorate a sluggish domestic market hit by GST, rising interest rates and worries of am impending economic downturn, according to industry leaders. The Winemakers Federation of Australia (WFA) said price competition in the cheaper bottled wine market was the most competitive the industry had seen for years. However it was difficult to pinpoint reasons particularly as the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed figures reporting that bottled wine was still growing 6%.

We have a Zanussi Jetsystem 1600 washing macnine, and the drum

This answer was rated:

We have a Zanussi Jetsystem 1600 washing macnine, and the drum has not properly drained. We have checked the filter, which is not blocked, and even after seeking to drain the machine, we can still hear that there is water in the drum. Is there anything further that we can do, or will we require a replacement pump?
Hi, welcome to Just Answer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be helping you with your problem today. If anything isn't clear, please just ask me.

If you have taken the filter out, this is at the lowest point of the machine, so any water that was in the drum, should have come out now.

Was there anything in the filter when you took it out?

Can you tell me what makes you think there is water in the drum? Can you see it in there?

Is the door still locked?
Customer: replied 4 years ago.

Thanks for the response. The only thing that was in the filter were two small copper coins.

Having rechecked the machine, I do not think there is any water left in the machine now. The door can be opened, so it would seem that the best option will be to try the machine again, and if it fails mid-cycle again, I can revert back to you.

Customer: replied 4 years ago.

Following my recent response, I have tried to start the machine on a 1 hour 30 minute superquick wash, and the light is showing that the feature is locked, and it will not start.

Alternative options are simply resulting in the lock light coming on and or the Err signal deing displayed with the start button being shown by way of a red light as opposed to a green light.

Any suggestions?

When you started the cycle, did it take in any water, did it start the wash?

Customer: replied 4 years ago.

Unfortunately, no water can be heard and the wash has not started.

This is a bit strange
Is the machine not showing an error code?

Is the door actually locked?

Can you tell me the exact model number please and Ill try to get some information

Customer: replied 4 years ago.

No error code is displayed.

The door can still be opened, when the machine is in the off mode.

Model number ZWF16581G

Product Number XXXXXXXXX 00

Serial number 845 00034

Can you try to start a new cycle.
Wait a moment, then try to open the door. It should be locked.
Then turn off the machine and see if its still locked

Can you also try this to get an error code

Turn the washer on to any cycle apart from the first cycle to the right.

Then press and hold the start button and the button to the left of it and keep them held in for several seconds. Then it will show up an error code E??

Let me know the code.

Customer: replied 4 years ago.

this is shown as

"Malfunction of drain pump triac

This refers to the triac that controls the pump function on the main controller."

So, the chances are that the pump should be ok. It is the main circuit board that is defective.

This is an expensive item to replace and its not possible to test this item at home, due to its complex electronics.

In this situation I would suggest a fixed price repair, as this includes ALL PARTS needed for the repair.

Can you tell me your postcode and the age of the machine and ill get you a quote

Customer: replied 4 years ago.

Thanks very much for all your help today Rob. I will rate your service after this reply.

Our post code is SG8 7QU, and our washing machine is 4 and a half years old. Given the likely cost involved, is it worthwhile having it repaired?

Much appreciated.

Your welcome.

The best way is to go here
You can see the set price is £125.

If you use the machine more than 4 times a week, you may want to consider putting the money toward a new machine.

If the use is less than that, I would have it repaired.
Zanussi is a good make, although things can go wrong.
If you decide to replace it, and you are a heavy user, I would not suggest buying a cheap machine as they are just not reliable.

If you need more help, please just ask me.
In the meantime,

Can I ask you to take a moment and rate my response? Please use the smiley faces which you should now see. Please remember you are rating me personally, not the website or the problems you have had with this machine.
If you need to ask me anything after rating, please just follow the link in the welcome email

Members of the Plattsburgh Roadrunners under-16 hockey team, pictured at the Olympic Center’s 1980 Herb Brooks Arena, qualified to compete in the national championships April 3-7 in Troy, Mich. Team members are Nathan Foster, Eric Bechard, Ryan Whalen, Chis Spicer, Connor Preston, Kyle Constanty, Jon Fine-Lease, Devin Clark, Kiefer Casler, Noah Gagnier, Tristin Archimbault, Andrew Bechard, Chris Wiliams, Michael Stetz, Tucker Angeloupolos, Ryan Damp and Nzoni Thompson. The team is coached by Dave Champagne, Matt Stetz, Keith Clark and Steve Gagnier.

The Roadrunners qualified to represent the New York District in Michigan after finishing runner-up at the state tournament in March in Amherst, where they posted a 2-2-1 record that included a heartbreaking 5-4 loss in double overtime to Cheektowaga in the championship game.

Plattsburgh's exciting run to the state championship final began with two games on March 15.

The Roadrunners opened with a fantastic finish in their first game, erasing a two-goal deficit late in the third period to earn a 2-2 tie with Nassau. Trailing 2-0, Michael Stetz netted Plattsburgh's first goal with just under three minutes left in the third to make it a 2-1 score. The Roadrunners were then awarded a penalty shot with four-tenths-of-a-second remaining when a Nassau defender dislodged his team's net under pressure from the Roadrunners. With a chance to tie the game, Beekmantown's Nate Foster buried the penalty shot to give the Roadrunners the tie.

In their next game, the Roadrunners suffered a 3-2 loss to Clarence, the top-seeded squad in the West region. On Saturday, the Roadrunners topped the Long Island Rebels 7-1 to reach Sunday's semifinal round, where they blanked the Long Island 4-0.

In the championship game, the Roadrunners battled back from 3-1 and 4-2 deficits, ultimately tying the contest at 4-4 with their goalie pulled to force overtime. Cheektowaga, however, netted the game-winner in the second overtime period.

"We put this team together to try and supplement the high school schedule and give these players some more quality games," Clark said. "We had plenty of quality players but really never anticipated being so close in the state championships.

"What a great honor to be able to represent the New York District in the national tournament," Clark added. "We will go with the attitude of enjoying the experience and competing hard."
