    THE WORLD’S LARGEST SANTA IS UNVEILED
    December 24, 2008 - China

    A giant Father Christmas made of ice, which is claimed to be the world's biggest Santa has been unveiled in China. The 525 feet long sculpture is the centerpiece at the world-renowned ice festival in the city of Harbin, where temperatures drop to well below freezing in the winter. But sculptor Tang Guangjun said unseasonably warm temperatures and hazardous conditions had made it very difficult to carve the figure, which centers on an enormous face of Father Christmas, complete with flowing beard and hat. An estimated 800,000 tourists from around China are expected to visit the festival, which traditionally runs from mid-December to early February.

    RADIOACTIVE MEDICINE
    December 24, 1936 - Berkeley, California, U.S.A.

    The first radioactive isotope medicine was administered, Berkeley, Cal. When Ernest Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron, recognized the possibilities for uses of nuclear isotopes in medicine, he persuaded his brother John to join the Berkeley Laboratory. John Lawrence started Donner Laboratory circa 1936. Treating a 28-yr-old woman with chronic leukemia, he administered a radioactive isotope of phosphorus-32 that had been artificially produced in a 37-in cyclotron. It was the first time that a radioactive isotope had been used in the treatment of a human disease as well as the start of a career-long contribution from John Lawrence. He became known as the father of nuclear medicine and his laboratory is considered the birthplace of this field.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
  • No Man is Above the Law
    by Theodore Roosevelt

    "..."No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right; not asked as a favor."..."

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

The article concentrated upon technological advances that favourably influenced the efficacy of office work, and features a PDF splitting software package as one of the solutions to document handling.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

We live in the time of fast development. Because of the recent technical advances in the IT sphere, office work is no longer the same as it used to be several years ago, with piles of paper documents here and there around the office. Documents, undeniably, adversely impacted on the efficacy of a firm and it took office staff a good deal of time and effort to manage them. At present the days of paper-cluttered offices are gone. There are no more 'in' and 'out' boxes piled up with paper files. Everything is now computerised and kept in the form of a database.

No wonder that advanced software programmes are introduced daily to optimise the office work. These up-to-date programmes do not only do work much quicker, but also much easier. Most files are stored in the PDF format, since it has got plenty of benefits over others. PDF files are smaller and can be protected with encryption and password security tools. The PDF application is a compatible format. As a consequence, a user can share and get data from colleagues efficiently.

PDF files can range from a single-page file to more composite files, such as brochures, information sheets, white papers and technical instructions, some containing hundreds of pages, which makes them hard to handle. Now and then, you may wish to print or e-mail a couple of pages from a PDF document or to extract several pages into a new PDF papers leaving the master file intact. A solution is to use a PDF splitter software package. This kind of software is user-friendly. It allows you to select your master (or input) PDF document and apply a splitting pattern to obtain the output document(s).

Some advanced software packages include a customised splitting option, similar to Word printing pattern. Here is an example: 1,2,3; 1-5,3; 4-5. This will result in three output files. The first one will include pages number 1, 2 and 3. The second PDF file will have pages one to five and page three. The third one will include only pages four and five. It takes a few mouse clicks to extract pages from PDF documents and does not need expertise. A step-by-step direction is provided by manufacturers.
