The two planets, which are about 416 million miles apart in the solar system, are due to rise within 0.3 degrees of each other and will "snuggle" close to each other in the morning.
On Monday, Jupiter and Venus will be visible to the naked eye in the sky before sunrise. This week, another conjunction of Venus and Jupiter is occurring and is visible to much of planet Earth to the east just before sunrise.
Conjunctions between Venus and Jupiter are far from rare events - taking place at mean intervals of 13 months.
A BBC report said Venus and Jupiter will be best seen by those living in the mid-northern latitudes, including India.
Venus will be 152 million miles (246 million km) from us, while Jupiter is almost four times farther away, at 594 million miles (956 million km), the portal said.
Remembrance Day 2017: Where to pay tribute this Sunday
Did you attend an Armistice Day event? In London, the Lord Mayor's show coincided with a Remembrance service. Special ceremonies will be held in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh - which was attended by the Lord Provost.
Observers will have to have an uninterrupted view to the south-east as the planets will be very low in the sky.
In the United Kingdom, the best viewing time will be 40 minutes before sunrise.
The conjunction will be slightly more hard to watch in the United States, because sunrise comes earlier than in Britain.
The press service of Roskosmos said that on the morning of 13 November, the Russians will be able to observe the convergence of Venus and Jupiter. From the point of view of Earth, it will seem as if the two planets are colliding with each other.
In the video from JPL, the narrator notes that skywatchers should be careful because the sun will rise on the heels of the planets, and of course, you should never look directly at the sun, especially with binoculars or a telescope. | [

In West Seattle’s Westwood neighborhood, the Parks and Green Spaces Levy is already paying for a new P-Patch – but there’s also the potential for a new park somewhere in the area. This Saturday at 1 pm, the Westwood Neighborhood Council invites you to Southwest Community Center to talk about that possibility. The levy passed by voters in 2008 includes money for acquiring new park land in “underserved neighborhoods” – and Westwood is one of the neighborhoods identified as “underserved.” Parks’ Chip Nevins will be there – not just to talk, but to listen – so if you have an idea about what might make a good park, and/or where, be there on Saturday.
Sorry, comment time is over.

a) Primary crusher – The raw material from mines is processed first in primary crushers. The input of these crushers is relatively wider and the output products are coarser in size. Example - Jaw crusher, Gyratory crusher, Impact Crushers, etc. b) Secondary crusher- The crushed rocks from primary crusher are sent to these secondary
Jaw Crusher vs Impact Crusher. In short, the jaw stone crushers are mainly used for primary crusher, the crushing stone is relatively large. The types of crusher machine''s chamber are deep and no dead zone. It improves that the feeding capacity and output. The crushing ratio is large and the product particle size is even.
· If a 2 inch particle is fed to the roll crusher the absolute smallest size one could expect from the crusher is 1/2 inch. Roll crushers will only crush material down to a minimum particle size of about 10 Mesh (2 mm). A roll crusher crushes using compression, with two rolls rotating about a shaft, towards the gap between the rolls 5.

Impact crushers are versatile crushing machines that can be used in any stage of the crushing process. However, the features and capabilities of different impact crusher types vary considerably. Impact crushers are traditionally classified to two main types: horizontal shaft impact (HSI) crushers and vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushers.

Research Galician Records Austrian Garrison
Austrian Military Regiment Garrisons within Galicia
Military records can be a useful source of genealogical information. In the context of Galician Poland (1772-1918) many of our male ancestors undertook military service freely while others were obliged to go on active duty for 2 or 3 years followed by perhaps 8-10 years in reserve units. The army kept detailed records on its personnel at all levels and useful information can be gleaned from these. Records for the period up until 1869 were retained in Vienna. Those for later years were forwarded to the successor states and may now be in their archives. While some may have been lost or destroyed it is hoped that many will come to light as archive holdings are reviewed.
The records in the Vienna Kriegsarchiv have been extensively filmed by the LDS and can be traced through the FHL catalogue. However, in order to identify which films may contain relevant information it is crucial to know which regiment the ancestor served in.
One of the ways this may be done is by consulting the Dislokations-Verzeichnis des k. u. k. Heeres und der k. u. k. Marine (Kasperkovitz, Otto) on LDS microfilm 1186632 (Item 1). The Dislokations-Verzeichnis referred to is now believed to be just the location index where regiments were garrisoned, not an index of recruitment locations. For Recruitment districts see Austrian Military Recruitment.
Personal details on soldiers are found in Grundbuchblatter and Foundation books for each regiment. Microfilms of these can be traced in the online catalogue at Familysearch® and most are available for loan through the chain of FHCs. Choose the Author Search option and enter Osterreich Armee followed by the name of the regiment to obtain the appropriate microfilm numbers.
Example: Osterreich Armee Infanterie Regiment 30
It is also possible to write for copies of personal records from years up to 1869 to the Archive in Vienna.
To get a broad overview for each unit, short regimental histories (battles, peacetime garrisons, movements, restructuring, senior officers, gallantry awards etc.) can be found in von Wrede's history of the Austrian army and navy (Geschichte der k. und k. Wehrmacht: Die Regimenter, Corps, Branchen und Anstalten von 1618 bis Ende des XIX. Jahrhunderts ) published in German in Vienna. This is a multivolume work and is available on LDS microfilm. LDS film 1186632 has volume 1 which covers foot regiments including the infantry. Most of the other military units are dealt with in volumes 2-4 which are on LDS microfilm 1186633. The final volumes of von Wrede's work were unfortunately never completed.;

When installing a new fence, what should you do if there are trees in the way?
You could obviously remove those trees that interfere with the placement of your fence. But, if you’d like to save your trees, you’ll need to plan carefully. Otherwise, you may eventually end up with a dead tree or a broken fence – or both.
If a tree is growing in or near where you’d like to place your fence, or is growing on the property line, the simplest design option is to angle the installation path to avoid the tree or leave the tree outside of the fence, but then you lose some property to the neighboring yard. For many people, neither option is ideal. Building your new fence around the existing trees or adjusting the growth of the trees to accommodate the fence provide many available options.
If the tree is yours, or on your property, you should have no problem taking whichever steps you choose. If the tree belongs to your neighbor, is growing from their property or has been hanging over their property for a long time, it might become an issue that could cause disagreements. Best to have a friendly conversation about your thoughts and solutions before you make your move to alter the environment you both share.
Build the fence around the trees
For those of us who want to coexist with nature and find ways to integrate the mature landscape features into our reimagined landscape plans, this allows you to save the existing trees and continue to enjoy the shade and habitat they provide.
- Box it out
- Arrange posts to box or frame the tree. This makes a design virtue of your tree rather than suggesting a design fault in your planning.
Build a box to either exclude or enclose the tree on the property line. Discuss this possibility with your neighbor if you wish to accept responsibility for the tree and the new fence bump out will encroach on your neighbor’s property.
- Build between the trees
- Run the fence along the property line but allow the trees to interrupt the fence. With this option, you’ll have a straight line installation, but you may also have gaps between the fencing and the tree trunks.
It could result in some trouble though if there is a storm and the trees shift in strong wind. In some cases, depending on the size and shape of the trees, fencing between them can be complicated. The installer must stop the fencing as close as possible to the trunks, while still allowing for future trunk and root growth. We must also ensure that posts or stakes don’t damage the root system, as this can impair healthy growth or otherwise harm the tree.
Consider selecting a style of fence that doesn’t extend all the way to the ground, like post and rail or picket fence, so that the panels won’t interfere with gnarled above ground roots.
Experts warn against attaching anything directly to the tree, as screws and nails can injure the bark. This may make your trees more vulnerable to pests and diseases.
- Create a window
- With this solution, the tree can be incorporated into the fence design. You may be concerned about the tree outgrowing the area the fence builder allowed, which would damage the integrity of the fence as the tree grew. But there have been examples of similar installations that have coexisted with the trees for years without a problem. When the tree outgrows the space, you can enlarge or move the window.
The installer will need to leave a significant gap around the trunk to allow for shifting in severe weather and growth of the tree. This may interfere with the privacy function of the fence.
It could also impact security as climbing a fence with a tree protruding from the side of it would be easier than scaling the tall, flat surface.
This is an attractive solution if the material chosen is inexpensive and largely temporary when compared to an old, mature and well loved tree. Especially if the land or property is rented/leased and the landloard doesn’t allow for the tree to be removed.
Cut the Tree to Save the Tree
Depending on the variety of tree, you could coppice the tree (cut it down to ground level so that it will regrow) or pollard the tree (cutting the trees higher up on the trunk to allow for regrowth). In this way you could train the new growth to extend away from the new fence. You should have a new tree in no time.
According to this article about coppicing trees for firewood, many types of deciduous tree can be coppiced: Alder, Ash, Beech, Birch (3-4 year cycle), Hazel (7 year cycle), Hornbeam, Oak (50 year cycle), Sycamore Sweet Chestnut (15-20 year cycle), Willow but Sweet Chestnut, Hazel (7 year cycle), and Hornbeam are the most commonly coppiced tree species currently.

Fayetteville received a light snowfall Sunday morning, leaving the roads covered in a thin dust of snow in some parts of town and a slightly thicker slush in other places.
While the roads are passable, drivers should use caution to avoid sliding.
Mayor Lioneld Jordan said city crews have been working since midnight to treat the main roads, hillside streets, bridges and overpasses. Jordan said secondary roads will be treated later today.
With temperatures expected to remain below freezing, Jordan said it’s possible the roads could refreeze Sunday night.
“The crews will continue to work around the clock to stay on top of any road condition change through the day or night,” Jordan wrote on Facebook. “As always the roads and safety personnel are doing another fantastic job. That’s all I have right now. Everyone stay safe and warm.”

Strong Demand for TIGER Grants Highlights Continued Need for Transportation Investment
TIGER applications for fiscal year 2014 funding totaled $9.5 billion, 15 times more than available funding
WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx today announced that applications to the U.S. Department of Transportation for its sixth round of Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants totaled $9.5 billion, 15 times the $600 million set aside for the program, demonstrating the continued need for transportation investment nationwide. The Department received 797 eligible applications, compared to 585 in 2013, from 49 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.
The announcement comes weeks after Secretary Foxx unveiled the GROW AMERICA Act, a four-year surface transportation reauthorization bill that would create millions of jobs and lay the groundwork for long-term economic competitiveness.
“These applicants confirm what I saw as I traveled through eight states and 13 cities as part of my Invest in America, Commit to the Future bus tour last month – America is hungry for infrastructure investment,” said Secretary Foxx. “The continued overwhelming demand for these grants demonstrates that communities want the kind of long-term funding our GROW AMERICA Act provides to build transportation projects across the country.”
The proposed GROW AMERICA Act authorizes $5 billion over four years for much-needed additional TIGER funding to help meet the overwhelming demand for significant infrastructure investments around the country and provide the certainty that states and local governments need to properly plan for investment.
The highly competitive TIGER program, which began as a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, offers federal funding possibilities for large, game-changing multi-modal projects. These federal funds leverage money from private sector partners, state, local governments, metropolitan planning organizations and transit agencies. The $474 million awarded under TIGER 2013 supported $1.8 billion in overall project investments.
Congress provided the most recent funding as part of the bipartisan Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, signed by President Obama on January 17, 2014.
Since 2009, the TIGER program has provided $3.5 billion to 270 projects in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico – including 100 projects to support rural and tribal communities. Demand for the program has been overwhelming, and during the previous five rounds, the Department of Transportation received more than 5,300 applications requesting more than $115 billion for transportation projects across the country. | [

|Title||Phylodiversity-dependent seedling mortality, size structure, and disease in a Bornean rain forest|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2006|
|Authors||Webb CO, Gilbert GS, Donoghue MJ|
|Date Published||2006 Jul|
|Keywords||BIODIVERSITY, Biological Evolution, Borneo, Ecosystem, Environment, GEOGRAPHY, Logistic Models, phylogeny, Plant Development, Plant Diseases, Plants, Seedling, Trees|
Density-dependent models that partition neighbors into conspecifics and heterospecifics ignore the great variation in effect of heterospecifics on focal plants. Both evolutionary theory and empirical results suggest that the negative effect of other plants on a focal plant should be higher for closely related neighbors than for less related neighbors. Using community-wide seedling mortality data from a forest where density dependence has previously been found, we searched for significant phylogenetic neighborhood effects (the “phylodiversity” neighborhood) on seedling (<50 cm tall) survival at various spatial scales. Logistic regression models were used, with 19-mo survival of individual seedlings as the response. We found a significant positive effect of nearest taxon phylodiversity on seedling survival at the 36-m2 scale and the 4-m2 scale, indicating that seedling survival is enhanced by being in a neighborhood where heterospecifics are not closely related. At all scales there was a strong negative effect of conspecific seedling density on focal survival, and at small scales there was also an effect of heterospecific density, indicating generalized competition. We place these results (for seedling dynamics over a relatively short period of time) in the context of changes in phylodiversity between different size classes of plants in the same forest, which integrate the effects of dynamics of all size classes over long time periods. At the 36-m2 scale, there was an increase in nearest taxon phylodiversity (i.e., a decrease in phylogenetic clustering) from the seedlings (<50 cm tall) to the poles (1-5 cm diameter), consistent with the positive effect of local phylodiversity on seedling survival. In contrast, there was a marked decrease in average phylodiversity from seedlings to saplings at the same scale. The trees in the 1600 m2 surrounding the seedling plots had much lower phylodiversity than either the seedlings or saplings. Taken together, these results suggest that (1) over short time and spatial scales, local seedling phylodiversity has a positive effect on seedling survival, possibly via interaction with pathogens (which we discuss in detail), but (2) over longer time periods and larger spatial scales the effect of abiotic-related mortality results in habitat filtering for phylogenetically conserved traits.

Snow Covered Mountain CookiesFrom krumkake 9 years ago
- ¾ cup butter (use the real thing for the best flavor), softened shopping list
- ¾ cup powdered sugar shopping list
- 2 teaspoons water shopping list
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- ¼ teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1¾ cup flour shopping list
- 1 cup finely diced pecans shopping list
- 4 squares Bakers melting chocolate (or a bag of milk chocolate chips), melted shopping list
- ½ cup finely grated white chocolate (use the white bark or candy coating squares) - use the finest grate on your grater shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium bowl, combine butter and powdered sugar, mixing until well blended.
- Stir in the water, extract and salt; mix well.
- Add flour and diced nuts, stirring them in until well blended.
- Shape dough into 1” balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 18 minutes.
- Remove cookies from pan and place on waxed paper.
- When they are almost cool, dip the top of each cookie into the melted chocolate, set it back on the waxed paper, and then sprinkle with the grated white chocolate. I dip about 10 cookies, then sprinkle with the grated white chocolate – you just don’t want the melted chocolate to begin to set before you sprinkle with the grated stuff…it won’t “cling” to the melted chocolate if it has set.

Loose skin, also known as sagging skin, is a common concern for many individuals, especially as they age. It occurs when the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, resulting in a less toned and tightened appearance. While aging is a natural cause of loose skin, there are various other factors that can contribute to this condition. In this article, we will explore the causes of loose skin and discuss effective treatments and remedies to help restore skin elasticity and firmness.
Causes of Loose Skin
1. Aging Skin:
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for maintaining its structure and elasticity. This gradual decline in collagen and elastin production leads to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
2. Weight Loss:
Significant weight loss, whether through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, can result in loose skin. When you lose a substantial amount of weight, the skin may not have enough time to adapt to the new body shape, leading to sagging and loose skin.
3. Sun Damage:
Excessive sun exposure can damage the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, causing it to lose its elasticity. Over time, this can contribute to the development of loose skin.
Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to having less elastic skin. If your parents or close relatives have loose skin, you may be more likely to experience it as well.
Treating Loose Skin
1. Skin Tightening Treatments:
There are several non-surgical skin tightening treatments available that can help improve the appearance of loose skin:
- Radiofrequency: This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
- Ultrasound Therapy: Ultrasound waves are used to target the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and tightening loose skin.
- Laser Therapy: Laser treatments can stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity, resulting in firmer and tighter skin.
2. Topical Creams and Lotions:
There are various creams and lotions available that claim to tighten and firm the skin. Look for products that contain ingredients such as retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, as these can help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of sagging skin.
3. Exercise and Strength Training:
Regular exercise, particularly strength training exercises, can help improve muscle tone and tighten loose skin. Focus on exercises that target the areas where you have loose skin, such as squats for the thighs or push-ups for the arms.
4. Healthy Diet:
A well-balanced diet rich in nutrients can support skin health and elasticity. Include foods that are high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Keeping your skin hydrated is essential for maintaining its elasticity. Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day and use moisturizers to prevent dryness and promote skin firmness.
Regularly massaging the areas with loose skin can help improve blood circulation and stimulate collagen production. Use a moisturizing lotion or oil and gently massage the skin in circular motions.
7. Surgical Procedures:
In cases where loose skin is severe and non-surgical treatments are not effective, surgical procedures such as a facelift, tummy tuck, or body lift may be considered. These procedures involve removing excess skin and tightening the remaining skin to achieve a more youthful appearance.
It is important to note that while these treatments and remedies can help improve the appearance of loose skin, they may not completely eliminate it. The effectiveness of each method can vary depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, and overall health.
In conclusion, loose skin is a common concern that can be caused by various factors such as aging, weight loss, sun damage, and genetics. While it may not be possible to completely reverse loose skin, there are several treatments and remedies available that can help improve its appearance. Non-surgical skin tightening treatments, topical creams, exercise, a healthy diet, hydration, massage, and surgical procedures are all options to consider. Consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your specific needs. Remember, embracing your body and practicing self-acceptance is equally important in feeling confident and beautiful. | [

This is a question every single client asks when we start an engagement. In fact it is the core question we work to answer in the first couple of weeks by examining the tasks and processes your employees work and identifying which would be the best targets for automation.
There is a significant amount of work and experience required to identify the correct processes for automation and methods to automate, but in general the processes that are the best targets for automation are those that are standardized across locations, initiated with electronic inputs, stable and data driven.
As an example, consider a sample data entry process. Perhaps every day your employees receive an excel file with sales numbers from the previous day. They have to meticulously copy and paste this information into a web form, then verify the results against a different tab on the spreadsheets. This may take your employees 2 hours a day to perform. Automation could grab the email, detach the spreadsheet, enter the data and verify before any of your employees arrive in the morning.
Add a slight change to that process and the process to automate will change as well. If the spreadsheet not only had sales numbers, but a field with contractual terms for each sale listed, requiring the employee to evaluate the language to determine what to enter in the web form. While the automation can still perform most of the steps, it likely would be best to still have the employee perform the evaluation of the contract terms as that step would remain more efficient for an employee to perform. In this case, we would implement “assisted automation” where the computer would perform most of the work, except for those steps requiring cognitive thought.
In either case, you have saved time and therefore money over the long term. If you want to discover what you could save, contact us today! | [

DART is updating its fleet of 115 light rail vehicles (LRV) by inserting a new, low-floor insert between the existing sections of the vehicle adding seating capacity and improving access through level boarding. The newly modified vehicles began service on June 23, 2008 with car #151.
Known as Super Light Rail Vehicles (SLRV) because of the greater length and added passenger capacity, the SLRV will seat approximately 100 passengers compared with 75 on the current vehicles. Standing passengers on the vehicle can nearly double the capacity.
The SLRVs - designed in partnership with rail vehicle manufacturer Kinkisharyo of Osaka, Japan - feature level boarding which will allow passengers with disabilities - plus people with strollers, bicycles and the like - to step or roll directly onto the trains without using mechanical lifts. This, in turn, enables faster and safer boarding and deboarding. Note: stanchions currently located in the center of each SLRV door will be removed once all station platforms are equipped to accommodate passengers in wheelchairs.
Because the initial SLRVs are modifications of the current fleet of 115 LRVs, they also have another advantage: the inserts are less expensive than full-sized cars.
DART's first SLRV, Car #170, went into service on the Blue Line in 2002 as a prototype. DART began taking delivery of the rail car inserts in late Winter 2008. The first SLRVs beyond #170 are scheduled to be in revenue service by late Spring or early Summer 2008. Each of DART's current 115 rail cars will be retrofitted with the new insert.
Below are the SLRV Information Cards. Graphics are available for download.

Microscope Kits are mechanical gadgets used for seeing things and materials so minute in size that they are undetected by the naked eye. The process conducted with such an instrument, called Microscopy, uses the combined schools of optical science and light reflection, controlled and manipulated through lenses, to study little things at close quarters.
The basic microscope consists of a number of complex and interrelated parts: a cylinder that offers a needed area of air in between the ocular lens (eye piece) positioned at the leading and the unbiased lens repaired at the bottom, hovering near a phase consisting of an optical assembly on a turning arm and a focused hole through which a light shines from a strong U-shaped stand below. Magnifying values for the ocular range through X5, X10, to X20, while the values for the unbiased lens has a broader period: X5, X10, X20, X40, X80, and X100. These values supply the observer with a spectrum of possible range orientations and degrees of sharpness as are essential for seeing and analysis.
Numerous various type of microscopes exist, each having particular functions:
Optical Microscope: The very first produced. The optical microscope has one or two lenses that work to expand and improve images placed in between the light source and the lower-most lens.
Basic Optical Microscope-- uses one lens, the convex lens, in the magnifying procedure. This type of microscope was utilized by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek throughout the late-sixteen and early-seventeenth centuries, around the time that the microscope was developed.
Substance Optical Microscope-- has two read more lenses, one for the eyepiece to serve the ocular perspective and among short focal length for unbiased point of view. Multiple lenses work to decrease both chromatic and round aberrations so that the view is unblocked and uncorrupted.
Stereo Microscope: This is also understood as the Dissecting Microscope, and uses 2 separate optical shafts (for both eyes) to produce a three-dimensional image of the things through two a little different viewpoints. Inverted Microscope: This kind of microscope views items from an inverted position than that of regular microscopes.
Petrographic Microscope: This kind of microscopic lense includes a polarizing filter, a rotating stage, and plaster plate. Petrographic Microscopes focus on the study of inorganic compounds whose residential or commercial properties tend to alter through shifting viewpoint.
Pocket Microscope: This sort of microscopic lense includes a single shaft with an eye piece at one end and an adjustable objective lens at the other. This old-style microscope has a case for easy bring.
Electron Microscopes: This kind of microscopic click here lense uses electron waves running parallel to a magnetic field offering greater resolution. 2 Electron Microscopes are the Scanning Electron Microscope and the Transmission Electron Microscope.
Scanning Probe Microscope: This kind of microscope steps interaction in between a physical probe and a sample to form a micrograph. Just surface information can be gathered and analyzed from the sample. Types of Scanning Probe Microscopes include the Atomic Force Microscope, the Scanning Tunneling Microscope, the Electric Force Microscope, and the Magnetic Force Microscope.
Science wouldn't be what it is today without the microscope, as this device is the primary instrument by which the world and all of its aspects are determined and evaluated. It is with the microscopic lense that we have a look within ourselves so we can find out and comprehend who we are and how we work. | [

This morning, we travel across the border into Germany and include a stop at the Möhne Dam in the Ruhr Valley, heroically breached by the Lancasters of 617 Squadron (Dambusters) in 1943. At Möhne you can walk on top of the dam and still see where the breach was made. Of the 20 massive dams constructed in the Ruhr Valley, six dams were selected as targets with three of these being the primary targets: the Möhne, the Eder and the Sorpe dams. Between the Möhne and Sorpe, they held back 76% of the total water available to the industrial valley, one of the main reasons they were two of the primary targets. If breached, these dams would bring the whole industrial valley to a standstill, causing massive damage to the steel industry devastating production of tanks, aircraft, guns and locomotives which were all vital to Germany's war effort. After our visit we continue east to Hannover and our hotel for a four-night stay.
Included meals:Breakfast, Dinner
Goslar, Wernigerode & the Harz Mountains
Our included excursion today takes us first to the former imperial city of Goslar. With over 1,000 years of history, Goslar was the favoured seat of government in northern Germany for centuries. At the same time, it was also a centre of Christianity and the spires of the 47 churches, chapels and monasteries define the town’s unique silhouette. Goslar was also referred to as the ‘Rome of the North’. Today, the view of the townscape with the steeples of the five large parish churches is impressive when viewed from the knoll upon which the Imperial Palace stands. The many crooked, narrow, cobble-stoned streets in the Old Town are a joy to explore. After free time, we take a scenic drive through the beautiful Harz region to the delightful town of Wernigerode. Wernigerode is an attractive destination on the Holtemme River, nestling against the northern foothills of the Harz Mountains. It has an impressive medieval town centre with rows of charming, centuries-old, timber-framed houses and is dominated by a fascinating, fairy tale castle. Enjoy free time exploring the town at your leisure before returning to our hotel in time for our evening meal.
Included meals:Breakfast, Dinner
Hannover & Celle
A free day to relax and explore Hannover at your own pace. Hannover has had a long and special relationship with Britain since 1714 when Elector Georg Ludwig became King George I of England. Hannover is not the typical European city. It was unfortunately hit hard during World War 2, leaving it with only a few historical landmarks. Even the Altstadt or Old City is relatively new. Head to the Kröpcke, a large pedestrian area in the heart of Hannover. It is the city’s major shopping spot and home to the opera house. You will also find many places to eat here. This afternoon, why not join us for an optional visit to the nearby picturesque town of Celle? Situated in a glacial valley, Celle is a town with a distinctive flair. It is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Bergen, the location of the largest concentration camp on German soil during World War 2. It was here that Anne Frank was interned and later died. Celle was founded over 700 years ago, and managed to emerge from World War 2 virtually unsc | [

Within Jira Automation, if you are to have an action that creates a comment, you can select a checkbox that disables duplicate comments being created. I would love to know how I can prevent duplicate subtasks from being created. Currently there does not appear to be a checkbox for the subtasks. I was trying to use an if/else check, but couldn't quite get the syntax down. I would love some help/ideas on how to solve this one.
It would be good to know what trigger and conditions you are using, as that could influence the solution. But at a high level, I agree with @Pramodh M use JQL to restrict or check to see if such sub-tasks already exist.
Use JQL to restrict the issues from being created using if condition and refetch issue data automation to check whether the issue is already created while automation is running!!

Two Daher Socata TBM Pilot Owners Set Record Between NY & Paris Two pilot owners of the TBM very fast turboprop class of airplane by Daher Socata recently set a speed record. They flew between New York and Paris with a TBM 930. Dierk Reuter and Phil Bozek flew the TBM owner by Reuter across the Atlantic in approximately 8 hours and 38 minutes at an average speed of 364-knots. They departed from Westchester County Airport (KHPN) north of New York City, and landed at the historic Le Bourget Airport (LFPB) near Paris. This was the same airport that Charles Lindbergh landed at after his pioneering transoceanic crossing too. | [

The few discussions I’ve had with artists have given me a perspective on what I do. Because scientists are very attached to reality. We are explorers, not really dreamers. With them, I rediscovered this dream.
These very sincere words are those of our sponsor, Sylvestre Maurice, an astrophysicist, astronomer and planetary scientist specialising in the exploration of the solar system. It testifies to the touching curiosity of an internationally renowned scientist for modes of artistic expression with unsuspected evocative power.
It is true that, at first glance, photography and science are quite different: they have neither the same object, nor the same methods and purposes. While the former is concerned with reason and reality, the latter associates the sensitive world with the imaginary. And yet, on closer inspection, they both question the world by making the invisible visible, by pushing back the frontiers of knowledge, by giving us a new way of perceiving. If photography tells the story of the world’s twists and turns, the sciences help us to understand it better.
Created at the end of 2015, the Résidence 1+2 aims to bring people together, those who previously had no chance to talk to each other. Halfway between creation and knowledge sharing, it associates photography with science, produces, promotes and enhances an author’s photography closely linked to an exceptional scientific heritage present in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Occitanie. We wish to create, in a collaborative and participative spirit, the conditions for the production of sensitive content. In Toulouse, artists and scientists share thoughts and resources, and create new knowledge in a sort of factory of possibilities. At a time when the boundaries between all disciplines are collapsing, bringing artists and scientists together in the same project is a way of inviting them to join forces, to energize new transversalities, to renew creative forms in order to better understand and face the challenges of the contemporary world. For this fourth edition, our three photographers in residence are fully involved in this multidisciplinary dynamic, exploring new creative spaces. They deliver their subjectivity on multiple and renewed sensitive surfaces – photographs, image diversions, fictions, drawings, writings, installations – in an assumed rereading of reality. Their research is supported by institutions and scientists from the metropolitan, departmental and regional areas.
Each year and during two months of production (March and April), bringing together three photographers from different backgrounds, generations and practices, the 1+2 Residence aims to be a meeting place for creative reflection and a laboratory for experimentation. In October-November, their work will be presented on different media as ways of telling the same story: a museum-style exhibition and a set of three books (published by Filigranes). A creative film (26′) is entrusted to a filmmaker (often a first film) in order to highlight the converging trajectories of our residents.
Understanding and actively confronting the challenges of the contemporary world also means evoking each citizen and building with him or her new reflections for new practices. Thus, an inaugural weekend open to all is organised with several highlights, such as the national symposium “Photography and Science” on the second Saturday of October, where photographers, scientists and citizens exchange views during several thematic and interactive round tables.

KUALA LUMPUR—Natural rubber prices remained flat in November despite rising crude oil prices and disruption for growers, the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries said in a recent report.
The continuing low level of pricing reflected a significant imbalance between supply and demand for the commodity, the latest data from the association indicates.
During the first 11 months of 2017, global NR supply rose 4.7 percent year-on-year to reach 11.7 million tons, according to ANRPC's latest Natural Rubber Trends & Statistics.
Over the same period, demand for NR amounted to 11.8 million tons, up just 1.2 percent, ANRPC Secretary General Nguyen Ngoc Bich said in his own review.
ANRPC added the impact of typhoon Damrey, which damaged about 40,000 hectares of crops in central and southern Vietnam, including rubber plantations. Southern Thailand, a major NR producing region, was also hit by flash floods as a result of the typhoon, according to the secretary general's review.
ANRPC's Natural Rubber Trends and Statistics report provides figures for NR supply and demand, across all association member countries. | [

Roulette is truly one of the most exciting casino games in the world. Offering the highest possible payout, that spinning wheel gives everyone the chance to hit a huge, huge jackpot. Using the Internet, anyone can bring this gambling action into their own homes. Find out where you can gamble real money playing online roulette.
Real Money Roulette
In the casinos, all roulette is played for real money. It’s the spinning wheel and a single ball that decides the outcome, but each bet is placed upon a grid that’s laid out on the corresponding roulette table. Upon this grid, you may bet a specific number (1 to 36), the 0 or the double 0. You may also bet for a specific color – red or black. Other bets allow you to bet on a set of twelve numbers, odd numbers, even numbers, or other number groups.
When playing real money roulette, you stand to win a significantly high payout on every bet: the game pays up to 37 to 1. Playing online roulette for real money can be a pleasant way to pass the time, but it could also add up to a huge win.
Play Online Roulette
Want to play online roulette for real money? There are several different web sites offering a multitude of casino games for the home gambler. The easiest way to find a site is by using a search engine to find real money online casinos, online roulette games and casino games of all kinds. Any search string including these words is bound to yield results.
Gambling Real Money
Remember that real money roulette games, even when they’re online, cost real money. Amounts may seem to be transferred virtually, but the money you bet will come out of your personal bank account. Never forget that you will be gambling, so you will be risking a loss on every single bet you place. When you’re playing real money roulette, you’re also taking a chance on winning. Keep track of what you’re spending to avoid going over-board, and always gamble responsibly.

Hupac constructs its first intermodal terminal in Poland
Swiss intermodal operator Hupac has commenced a construction project of its reloading facility in Brwinów, close to Warsaw. It will be the first company’s intermodal terminal in Poland. The launch of operations is scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.
The works have been started in Brwinów, near Warsaw, in late March. Polish contractor Anna-Bud will construct a storage yard of 42,000 square metres, four transhipment tracks with a minimum length of 750 metres, and administrative buildings. The entire project covers an area of nearly 14 hectares.
Hupac will start the rail/road and rail/rail reloading operations at the terminal in the third quarter of 2022. Initially, the containers will be transhipped by reach stackers. For the future, the Swiss operator plans to deploy three more tracks and to install gantry cranes at the facility if the container traffic will significantly increase. According to the current technical documents, the maximum capacity of the Brwinów terminal is limited to 180,000 TEU per year.
Location and potential
Brwinów was chosen as the location for the future terminal due to several reasons: a good location near Warsaw, an excellent railway connection with a special industrial spur and direct access to the A2 motorway without the need to drive via cities and towns.
“The project aims to ensure the efficient movement of goods in Central and Eastern Europe, which in turn will facilitate intermodal rail transport between China/Russia and Europe. We see huge potential in the new terminal for the Polish market and as a new hub for long-haul routes between the Benelux and the Far East,” Irmtraut Tonndorf, Director Communications & Marketing at Hupac, commented to IntermodalNews.
Currently, Hupac does not possess its own terminals in Poland. To reload and deliver containers to the customers, the Swiss company uses several existing terminals owned by other operators: in Gądki near Poznań and Pruszków near Warsaw (Metrans), Kąty Wrocławskie (Schavemaker) and in Sławków near Katowice (CZH, PKP LHS, PKP Cargo). | [

After yesterday’s activation of EA/NV-012 and EA2/NV-170, on 9th July 2023 I again drove into Spain to activate the two 6-point summits of Saioa and Zuriain. These are very easily activated as a pair and are almost always done together.
To the starting point: Col de Sagardegi
The starting point for this walk is on the NA-1740 road at the Alto de Artesiaga. This is in theory a pretty viewpoint with a fairly large carpark, but today was a very cloudy day and so visibility on the road was quite limited as I drove through the fogbanks, and there wasn’t much to see when I parked up at all.
Most published routes for the pair of summits are in a loop, starting by ascending the northern or north-eastern sides of Saioa, then descending the southern slope to head towards Zuriain. With the low cloud, I struggled to find the (slightly less obvious) path up the northern side of Saioa, so instead I opted to continue on the obvious route to the Col de Sagardegi between the two hills and then to activate them both from there. It took about 35 minutes to reach the Col de Sagardegi from Artesiaga.
The route to the Col de Sagardegi is a lovely wide stony path at first but becomes a little muddy as it goes through a forest. Around 43.043,-1.55374, you leave the main path to the right to start heading up to the Col (note the red and white marker in the photo below, showing the path).
By the time you arrive at the Col, there is little more than a grass track but I was now well above the cloud layer and there was a lovely clear blue sky.
From the Col, and as shown on the signpost, it’s a short 30 minute climb straight up the side of Saioa. This is a reasonably steep grassy path, but with no problems as long as you have hiking poles.
At the top of the hill, there is a very wide grassy activation zone with plenty of space to set up an HF antenna near the trig point. I made 18 QSOs on 30m from here. Incidentally, if you noticed the model of a space rocket next to the trig point in my photograph on yesterday’s hill, it is part of a local initiative where different hills have different models to brighten up the summits. Saioa has a model of a typical Basque house.
After descending Saioa back to the Col de Sagardegi, it’s about a 40 minute climb to Zuriain. This is slightly less steep but also slightly longer in distance. Most of the height gain comes while heading south, and then you turn more south-west and head along a mainly-flat wide ridge before reaching Zuriain’s summit. As you go over the ridge, the path is slightly less obvious but is marked by short posts in the ground with red and white markings on them. The last few meters are then over some loose rocks following a fence-line, again without particular difficulty as long as you watch your footing.
Zuriain’s summit is much more rocky but the fence-line provides a useful point for bungee-ing an antenna pole, thereby avoiding having to get the guying kit out. This allowed me to quickly make another 15 QSOs on 30m. By the way, the model next to the trig point on Zuriain is a lighthouse.
As I was operating, I became aware that the typical Pyrenean afternoon cloud was starting to form and cover the area around the Col de Sagardegi, so instead of trying any other bands, I decided to pack up quickly and head down. I’m glad I did as once I started to descend back down towards the Col, I quickly found myself in thick fog and having to watch my navigation a bit more carefully.
I had originally hoped to activate the four-point summit of Larrakarte (EA2/NV-173), which is just over the road from the Alto de Artasiaga during the afternoon, but the route up that hill was completely covered in cloud and, worried about descending the mountain road in the fog, I decided to abort that plan.
The whole 10km walk, including activation of both summits, took about 5 hours and made for a lovely hike.

Capitalism and the Environment from Stockholm to COP28: New historical research on the role of business and labor
- Naomi Oreskes, Professor of the History of Science, Harvard University
- Glenda Sluga, Professor of International History and Capitalism, European University Institute, Florence
University of Lausanne, Switzerland, November 9 and 10, 2023
The aim of this conference is to bring together recent, evidence-based historical research on the role business and labor actors played in climate and environmental policies during the period that runs from the United Nation’s Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, in 1972, until the Conference of the Parties to be held in the United Arab Emirates in November this year. We invite submissions that focus attention on the political actions or social practices of individual corporations, CEOs, business organizations or federations, consultants, scientific experts, labor unions, workers’ coalitions, whistleblowers, etc. How did these corporate and labor actors react to the growing public attention given to human-made environmental degradation since the 1960s? How did they position themselves towards scientific evidence on climate change? What kind of transnational networks were established between actors in Europe or North America and groups in the Global South? In what circumstances did organized labor oppose the regulation of various types of pollution to the preservation of economic growth and jobs? What impact did neoliberal paradigms have on the integration of business actors into global climate governance? What strategies were put into place to influence regulations of air and water pollution on a national level? Were there conflicts between different business and labor actors on these strategies? How did lobbying influence the work of international organizations or domestic political processes?
It is therefore not the history of technological innovation or management practices that is at the center of this conference, but that of power relations involving business and labor.
We welcome proposals of max. one page that state the... READ MORE | [

Cooling system has been considered as the heat removal devices used to alleviate the waste heat to the atmosphere. In fact, the cooling systems are commonly employed for cooling the circulating water employed in oil refineries, chemical plants, power stations and building cooling. The systems are varied in sizes and shapes and named as per the use and nature of work. The main function of cooling system is the absorption of heat from the hot processes like hot equipments and other hot machines. The cooling devices transfer the absorbed heat from the place where they are installed to the atmosphere by essentially rejecting them, employing water as the coolant material.
A cooling system raises the load capacity of a transformer by boosting up its capability to disperse the heat generated by electric current. In the simple words, it is said that a good cooling system enables a transformer to carry more of a load than it otherwise could without reaching critical scorching spot temperatures. Cooling system has become great nowadays as they provide cool environment so workers become able to work comfortably and machines work appropriately.
Cooling system parts
A cooling system is made of a number of parts. Some of the common and popular parts include:
- Drift Eliminators
These all cooling system parts work together competently and successfully keep a cooling device operating at the finest level for its purpose. People install the device those know that the moist and humid environment can cause a great deal of wear and tear on the working mechanical parts. People from all over world are advised to maintain all cooling tower parts and repair and change as necessary to shun a costly and time consuming plant shutdown due to the part failure. Regular checking and maintenance increase life span of a working cooling tower.

Lifescape had the pleasure of designing and constructing the band pagoda at Briarwood Inn in Golden, Colorado where every Wednesday “Music on the Terrace” is enjoyed.
With natural materials, lights, and colorful plantings this stage is a great place to see your favorite Jazz band. This raised terrace also doubles as the stage for the wedding venue, too.
For the patio, once a sloped hill and parking lot, this patio has many uses from outdoor eating space to wedding venue.
The Briarwood Inn asked Lifescape to design a space for multiple uses and that objective has been met with a warm and enjoyable terrace.
A beautiful landscape is a wonderful draw for any business. If your commercial property is in need of any landscape construction, softscape, hardscape, water features and more, make sure to contact a designer at Lifescape by calling 303-831-8310. | [

Microshift Arsis 10 speed (seriously, you named it Arsis?)
Has there ever been more selection? Will the economy force bike manufactueres to streamline their product portfolio? Do all these options make sense? Should the big two keep selling 4 different gear number options (8,9,10,11 speed)? Will this explode into consumer confusion with electronic shifting?

The California Coastal Act, passed in 1976, protects public coastal access for all Californians. In the forty years since the Act’s passage, the state’s population has nearly doubled with much of that growth occurring in the coastal zone, where the beaches and public trust shoreline are an important natural, open space resource. As such, they are beneficial to individual and community well-being. Inequities in access to nature (and other beneficial resources) are increasingly common. In this study, we evaluate and map the proximity of different demographic groups to public shoreline access points on California’s coast. In so doing, we identify disparities in the availability of coastal access opportunities to different groups and show that, in general, wealthy, white, senior residents of California live closer to coastal access than other groups, while populous minority groups are significantly underrepresented in terms of their proximity to coastal access points. We discuss these findings in light of environmental change (e.g., sea level rise) and responses to such changes (e.g., shoreline armoring), combined with social factors (e.g., continued population growth) and policy responses to such changes (e.g., climate adaptation planning). Our analyses set the stage for further place-based study of disparities in public coastal access, including their impacts on specific populations, as well as mechanisms intrinsic to the Coastal Act for increasing coastal access equity in California through the Act’s next forty years. | [

Designing for Heritage
The conversion of the historic Beaux-Arts Grade II* listed former Port of London Authority building in the City of London, designed by Sir Edwin Cooper in 1922, into a Four Seasons hotel and apartments. Apartments have been constructed above the hotel for private sale and a new elegant glazed rotunda in the courtyard references the original rotunda damaged during the Second World War. Following an ‘East meets West’ theme, the redevelopment references the history of the building as a centre for international trade and dialogue.
This complex redevelopment is the product of a careful collaboration with an international client, consultant and design team. As lead architect and executive interior designer, we have worked closely with the contractor, including a team of craftsmen and artisans, to carefully repurpose the existing spaces in the building, inserting new elements, textures and materials to create a thoroughly contemporary blend of history and hospitality. A new basement, excavated under the existing building, posed additional structural and archaeological challenges while the coordination of services through the new elements and existing historic fabric was essential to the success of the scheme.
The finished hotel has 100 guest rooms and 41 apartments, two restaurants - La Dame de Pic London and Mei Ume - and the Rotunda Bar; the historic UN Ballroom, a second function room called Merchants’ Hall, a suite of club and meeting rooms on the second floor and a luxurious spa and fitness centre.
Ten Trinity Square, London EC3 was named AA Hotel of the Year London 2018-19 at the annual AA Hospitality Awards, and the Mei Ume Restaurant in the hotel was named Best Overall UK Restaurant at the 2018 Restaurant and Bar Design Awards, and also winner in the Luxury Restaurant category. The hotel was Runner Up in the 2017 City of London Building of the Year Awards and shortlisted in the ‘Listed Buildings over £5m’ category in the 2017 Architects' Journal Retrofit Awards.
It was winner of the annual City Heritage Award in 2019. The accolade is given to the Best Conservation or Refurbishment Project in the City of London. The plaque was unveiled by The Lord Mayor of the City of London in the hotel’s UN Ballroom, the historic setting for the inaugural reception of the United Nations General Assembly in 1946. | [

For some people going through the process of having a dental implant can be quite a costly procedure as the UK has some of the highest prices in Europe for private dentistry. Which is why clinics all around the world have seen a sharp uptake in the number of international patients coming through their doors for various dental procedures.
But why are so many traveling to these European practices?
What are dental implants?
They are essentially an artificially created tooth that has been fixed to your jawbone with a titanium screw and over time the bone regrows around this to create a more natural-looking and stable tooth. These are normally used to replace or help fix broken or chipped teeth and are usually inserted one at a time.
However, depending on the area being worked on, your dentist may suggest more than one implantation at a time. The length of the procedure also varies, with the average time taking up to 30 minutes, but if more than one implant is required it can take longer.
Benefits of implants
Although the implants will naturally cause some discomfort after they’re fitted, there are a lot of benefits to them. The best of these is they look like normal teeth, which can help improve your smile and boost self-confidence.
The implants are durable, so you don’t need to go through any dietary changes to avoid damaging them and they’re also easy to clean. Just brush them as you would your other teeth, although avoid being too rough in the beginning as they’re still going to be adjusting to their new position in your mouth.
So why go abroad?
As mentioned above, the prices play a big part in bringing in visitors but there’s also the ease of transport to some of the practices. Take Hungary as an example, it’s surrounded by other countries whose citizens are just a bus ride away from a high-quality Budapest dentist.
Staff at a lot of these European practices are also a lot better trained as the dental courses in Europe often teach their students to handle multiple languages as well as go through rigorous placements at clinics throughout the world. Some practices have also partnered up with hotel chains to offer patients extra incentives like discounts on accommodation, help with securing the correct medical documentation and airport transfers.
With all these great benefits, it’s easy to see why more and more people are traveling abroad for their procedures.
If you have been considering trying to have some dental treatments abroad and were unsure, hopefully, this has answered a few of your questions. Having this kind of procedure done can be quite exhausting and if you are going overseas for just make sure you have worked in some recovery time.
After all, it’s a long way to come back with a painful face. | [

Oct. 15, 2020
Scores of youths protesting against brutality and high-handedness by the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the Police on Thursday blocked the entrance to National Assembly.
#EndSARS protesters at the entrance of National Assemby Complex, Abuja on Thursday, October 15… photo: Sodiq Omolaoye
The youths, with placards and inscriptions protesting an end to police brutality, were also chanting songs urging an immediate reform of the police force.
They were, however, stopped at the entrance by stern-looking security agents numbering more than 50.
The protesters insisted that the leadership of the National Assembly must address them before they vacate the scene.

The Sentmenat Street of Polinyà (Barcelona) has been renewed completely becoming a street with a pedestrian treelined street in the central part. This remodelling enables the neighbours to increase their quality of life and get a space where they can take a walk with a pleasant atmosphere.
For the illumination of this environment has been chosen our Y City S, a set that, apart from lighting, contributes to obtain a high elegance in the environment. It is characterized by its V shape that results of its arms, besides its basis, which contains a relief based in rhombus.
The last generation of LED technology used in this project has enabled to reduce the power considerably and the number of luminaires. However, every Y City S set has two Y City luminaires, one for lighting the road and another one for lighting the central treeline street. The technical features of both luminaires are showed next.
This luminaire organization allows to light from the central part of the street, increasing the light evenness up to 0,67.
The light contamination of this space has been reduced to lower levels than 0,1% of light dispersion into the upper hemisphere, due to the organization and assembly of light diodes and their lenses. | [

Have you been buying wife to marry? Perhaps you have tried talking to girls but they don’t seem enthusiastic about marrying 1 day? There are many ladies out there who want to get married at some point and if you could have been questioning whether or not you are going the way you hoped this to, maybe you should give running a marital relationship a shot. Here are some tips on how to find the perfect match and what to do to keep them out of calling you just about every five minutes.
One thing you will need to realize is that then your base any type of relationship upon looks upon it’s own. This means that regardless of what you might discover in a person, the only true way to learn if the both of you will get along and stay together is usually to sit down and talk to that person. If you by no means talk with someone, you aren’t learning anything about all of them and in most cases, you aren’t actually getting a opportunity to know anything about the person either. When you meet an individual, sit down and get to know these people as if you had been having a one-on-one conversation. Using this method, you will are more familiar with the person and will be meet mail order brides com able to answer any of their very own questions and get a feel for who they are as a person.
When looking for a better half to get married to, you will need to let the woman you are seeing know about the intentions. Whilst you may believe that it’s no big deal, most women are actually extremely hurt any time a man leaves after they had a romantic relationship started out good. Although you may certainly not mean to hurt the lady you happen to be dating, the girl will likely hurt himself when she has to frequently think about the intentions as the two of you happen to be together. | [

Silicon Software has been designing and producing image acquisition boards and intelligent image processing boards since the 1990s. FPGA processors form the processing core of these boards. They excel with their highly parallelizable data processing. With its high bandwidths, this technology is preordained for industrial imaging.
Our product portfolio currently covers following product series:
FPGA Development as Innovation Driver
FPGA development has proven itself to be an innovation driver since the mid-1980s, particularly in achieving smaller and smaller line width of the processors. In so doing, in spite of smaller die areas, a greater number of logical cells could be integrated. With more available logic resources and the FPGA performance they provide, today the processor incorporates the interfaces for camera inputs, signal processing, memory port, and data transfer in one FPGA.
Product Concept Taken Further
Silicon Software takes its product concept even further. Frame grabbers have powerful FPGA processors to integrate high-quality image preprocessing functions into the firmware (A series). For programmable frame grabbers (V series), further FPGA resources and larger memory expansion are available for carrying out even complex image processing directly on the frame grabber without loading the CPU. FPGA programming is accomplished using the graphical development environment for FPGAs, VisualApplets.
Currently we support following interfaces in our product portfolio:
The Camera Link standard was initially released in 2000. It is a robust, well-established communications link that standardizes the connection between cameras and frame grabbers and defines a complete interface, including provisions for data transfer, camera timing, serial communications, and real-time signaling to the camera. Camera Link is a non packet-based protocol and remains the simplest camera/frame grabber interconnect standard. Currently in version 2.0, the standard specification includes Mini Camera Link connectors, Power over Camera Link (PoCL), PoCL-Lite (a minimized PoCL interface supporting base configurations) and cable performance specifications.
The standard specification is maintained by Automated Imaging Association.[text excerpt from Global Machine Vision Interface Standards Brochure, http://www.visiononline.org/vision-standards.cfm, courtesy of AIA, www.visiononline.org] Additional information: http://www.visiononline.org/vision-standards-details.cfm?type=6
The following products support Camera Link standard:
Unencrypted VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) IP cores are available, reducing interconnection issues and development risks when integrating Camera Link HS into original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or custom implementations. Even though Camera Link HS is a packet based protocol, it achieves trigger jitter of 6.4 nanoseconds (ns) using the IP core with typical latencies of 150 ns and GPIO latency and jitters in the 300 ns range.
The standard specification is maintained by Automated Imaging Association.[text excerpt from Global Machine Vision Interface Standards Brochure, http://www.visiononline.org/vision-standards.cfm, courtesy of AIA, www.visiononline.org] Additional information: http://www.visiononline.org/vision-standards-details.cfm?type=10
The following products support Camera Link HS standard (X-Protocol / fiber optic):
The CoaXPress (CXP) standard was released in December 2010. It provides a high-speed interface between cameras and frame grabbers and allows long cable lengths. In its simplest form, CoaXPress uses a single coaxial cable to: transmit data from a camera to a frame grabber at up to 6.25 Gbits/s; simultaneously transmit control data and triggers from the frame grabber to the camera at 20.8 Mbits/s; and provide up to 13W of power to the camera. Link aggregation is used when higher speeds are needed, with more than one coaxial cable sharing the data. Version 1.1 allows use of the smaller DIN 1.0/2.3 connector.
The standard specification is maintained by Japan Industrial Imaging Association.[text excerpt from Global Machine Vision Interface Standards Brochure, http://www.visiononline.org/vision-standards.cfm, courtesy of JIIA, www.jiia.org] Additional information: http://jiia.org/en/standard_dl/coaxpress-wg/
The following products support CoaXPress standard:
The GigE Vision standard is a widely adopted camera interface standard developed using the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) communication standard. Released in May 2006, the standard was revised in 2010 (version 1.2) and 2011 (version 2.0). GigE Vision supports multiple stream channels and allows for fast error-free image transfer over very long distances using standard Ethernet cables. Hardware and software from different vendors can interoperate seamlessly over Ethernet connections at various data rates. Other Ethernet standards, such as IEEE 1588, are leveraged to provide deterministic triggering. | [

Danny Pier, a 25 year-old self-proclaimed computer nerd who turned to Kickstarter to raise funds to get an Android smartphone into space. The project is named as 'Astdroid'
Upto now over $2,000 have been pledged to help send the first Android phone to space.
Pier believes that he can outfit a weather ballon with an HTC Evo, and use its camera, transmitter, computing power and GPS technology to track the phone’s journey into space.
Funds will be allocated to finance the expenses of the weather balloons, recovery parachutes, helium and other supplies. Pier will also write an application for the device that will take photos and videos of the journey, as well as automatically transmit the device’s location for tracking purposes.
Pier’s ultimate goal is to prove that it’s not difficult to send a smartphone in to space, capture the journey and retrieve it once it returns to Earth. He will document his successes and failures along the way using social media. Pier hopes his endeavors will encourage others to follow his lead. | [

After another bicyclist fatality, this time in front of the Museum of Science on Friday, can anything be done to improve cycling safety in the Bay State?
Yes, say bike advocates. Except one of the most crucial fixes isn’t on bicycles, but trucks.
In Friday’s accident, at a side street intersecting with the heavily traveled Charles River Dam Road in front of the museum, Boston University graduate student Meng Jin was on his bike at the right of a dump truck waiting to make a right turn. When they proceeded, Jin was overrun by the truck’s rear wheels.
It’s the same scenario as in the highly publicized 2015 death of surgeon Anita Kurmann, hit by the rear wheels of a turning truck at Massachusetts Avenue and Beacon Street in Boston, as well as other fatal encounters of cyclists and pedestrians with trucks nationwide. That’s sparked calls for side guards — frame panels installed under truck beds to keep humans and vehicles from going under high-riding trucks.
Side guards are effective at reducing serious injury in collisions, and the safety concept isn’t new. Nor are attempts to require them. In 2014, the Boston City Council passed the nation’s first ordinance mandating side guards and enhanced mirrors on all large vehicles owned by, and doing business with, the city. Cambridge has followed suit, and legislation has also been introduced in Congress. This summer, the Massachusetts Senate passed a similar bill. But it’s stalled in the House, where passage isn’t expected this year.
There are arguments against side guards. They add weight, every pound of which is critical in the shipping business, and installation isn’t free. For small owner-operators working on already-thin margins, it could mean the difference between profitability or insolvency.
Yet those positions uncomfortably pit profits against human lives. In a statement to The Hill, the American Trucking Association avoided directly opposing them, suggesting “the best... guard is one that never gets used,” that “the focus should be on preventing crashes through education, enforcement of speed limits, adoption of distracted and aggressive driving laws,” and technological advances, such as automatic braking.
All that should happen — just as cyclists and everyone else using the roadways should pay attention and obey traffic rules. Side guards won’t prevent every tragedy, especially on the Bay State’s jammed and meandering roads, where infrastructure must constantly be improved to accommodate ever-evolving vehicles and uses.
That improvement hasn’t happened on the stretch of Charles River Dam Road, says Cambridge City Councilor and Vice Mayor Jan Devereux, charging that the Massachusetts Department of Transportation that oversees the road hasn’t acted quickly enough. In a statement, MassDOT officials told the Globe those plans aren’t yet finalized, “due to numerous factors such as the need to accommodate many school buses turning into the Museum of Science,” as well as stakeholders’ concerns about a previous design proposal and increasing traffic volume in the area.
The agency says it’s releasing its statewide bicycle plan by the end of the year and that a Massachusetts freight plan has been approved by federal authorities which “includes a strategy to encourage side guards on trucks to protect cyclists.”
The road improvements separating bike and motor vehicle traffic need to happen immediately. And the side guards should be more than encouraged. They ought to be the law. | [

Does every pure function have a branchless equivalent?
By pure function I understand a function that uses only its input values and no global state to produce the output.
By branchless function I understand a function that does not use if/else during its execution. A loop contains a branch with and unconditional jump. Constant loops can be unrolled.
As an example, here is the signum function:
function signum(x): if (x > 0) return 1; if (x < 0) return -1; return 0;
And here is a branchless version of the same function:
function signum(x): return (x > 0) - (x < 0); | [

Whistling in the wind – how to disguise the whoosh of a wind turbine
Sweden is launching a new project to investigate how noise from wind turbines could be camouflaged.The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) has been given 1.6 million Swedish Krona (€170,000) by the Swedish Energy Agency to set up a model of how the whooshing from wind turbines can be masked by vegetation.
Professor Mats Åbom will head the three-year project to design the ‘masking’ model. A pilot model already in use shows how bushes and trees emit similar broad band sound to turbines, Åbom told edie.
“We will do further outdoor measurements to validate our preliminary model,” says Åbom, who will send his team out to record the sound of rattling leaves and bustling bushes in different landscapes. The noise from wind turbines will be recorded up to 5km from their location.
The collected data will eventually be incorporated into a simulation model that can assess the risk for noise disturbance from a wind farm, based on the type of vegetation, the type of turbine and the wind farm’s location. Åbom hopes his model will provide a better ground for planning decisions concerning future wind turbine plants. | [

The East Hampton (Long Island, New York) town board announced plans on Tuesday (Jan. 17) to close East Hampton Airport (KHTO) on Feb. 28 and reopen it four days later as a “new publicly owned, private-use facility.” The airport is a prime destination for celebrities and high-net-worth individuals, with traffic intensifying during the pandemic as part-time residents used the airport to escape high-density areas, such as Manhattan, via private jets and helicopters. But the airport has been a political lightning rod for far longer than that.
The move came as no surprise after FAA grant assurances expired at the end of September 2021, and when Peter Van Scoyoc was elected as the new Town Supervisor in November. Van Scoyoc made it clear from pre-election rhetoric that he was dedicated to curtailing traffic at KHTO, if not closing the airport altogether.
The shift from public-use to private-use status means that aircraft using the airport may only do so with permission, affording the town the authority to prohibit commercial use (charter flights, for example), restrict aircraft types and limit hours of operation. And that is likely to happen, given the wording of a statement from the town board, indicating it intends to control “helicopters, jets, and other aircraft that have had an intensifying community impact” generating “thousands of complaints.”
But a New York Post article published this week cited a study that showed that almost 80 percent of Village of East Hampton residents want the airport to stay open, based on necessary services (including medevac and access for relief flights) and jobs. Respondents also expressed concern that the air traffic would not simply go away, but rather would be redirected to other nearby airports, including Montauk (KMTP), Gabreski (KFOK) and Mattituck (21N), as well as Southampton Village Heliport (87N).
In September, as the sunset of FAA grant assurances approached, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association cited another study from East Hampton Community Alliance, which found that the airport generates $77 million for the local economy and supports 800 jobs, not to mention millions in tax revenue for the area.
Kent Feuerring, a member of AOPA’s Airport Support Network and president of the East Hampton Aviation Association, said in September, “This airport is a valuable asset and economic engine for the East Hampton community. Our community leaders understand this, most local residents understand this.”
In an October posting, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) maintained, “With over 100 based aircraft and 25,000 annual operations, HTO plays an important role in the National Airspace System and is classified as a Regional General Aviation Airport in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) … NBAA joined Friends of the East Hampton Airport to ensure that its members and other general aviation operators continue to have reasonable and reliable access to HTO.”
But to the concern of aviation advocates, the FAA weighed in on prospects for KHTA back in November 2020, when its eastern region director for airports, David Fish, laid out four possible options for the town board following the expiration of the federal grant assurances in September 2021:
- Close the airport entirely.
- Continue to operate the airport as a public-use airport.
- Terminate the public-use status of the airport making it a private, town-owned facility (the current plan).
- Agree on mandatory restrictions of certain aircraft types.
Public funded, celebrity use.
Did I get that right?
Don’t let the low hanging fruit distract you. Fuel taxes and user fees are part of public funding schemes and celeb’s pay those too.
Yea, celebrities spewing carbon from their private jets. The same celebrities who lecture commoners on climate change and sea level rise. “They” want exclusivity to keep commoners out.
Also, last I knew, celebrities were part of “the public”.
If they are suppressing N-numbers and keeping public flights out; then they are above “public” at that point. 😉
Just another nail in the GA coffin…
And another nail in the coffin for Long Island, too. I seriously doubt all the people flying to HTO will instead decide to make the trip by car or public transportation, so all they’re doing is removing a major source of transportation, and thus also revenue, from themselves.
Does anyone remember a little airport in the fine city of Chicago called Meigs Field? Don’t bother us with facts. We know what’s best for you.

Development is expensive, and for it to pay off, you need to get products to market quickly, stay ahead of the competition, and be flexible in responding to changing user requirements.
DevOps can help with this – a unique approach to development that allows you to automate workflows and quickly release finished IT products. analyze what this approach is, what problems DevOps solves, and what tools are needed for its implementation and implementation.
What Is DevOps In Simple Terms?
The classic development process consists of three separated stages:
- first, a team of programmers – Dev – writes the code and builds it;
- then the QA / QC team of testers takes the code from the programmers and tests it;
- Finally, the team of administrators – Ops – installs the tested code on “production” servers and serves it to users.
The problem with this approach is that all three stages: they poorly coupled:
- programmers write code, and they don’t care what happens to it next;
- testers can test the wrong version of the code for three days because they forgot to transfer the new one;
- Administrators install the code on “production” servers, but nothing works: the configuration is not the same as that of the testers.
And development is also slow because tasks between programmers, testers, and administrators are transferred in groups and not in a stream. For example, administrators first collect many complaints from users and only then pass them on to programmers. Programmers fix, testers test – and it takes a long time to update with bug fixes.
Plus, tasks are sent and received by live people with limited bandwidth. And a “bottleneck” may arise – tasks will endlessly accumulate in one department. For example, if testers do not have time to test, then both programmers and administrators will be out of work.
To fix all this, DevOps appeared – it is a unique approach to organizing development teams. Its essence is that developers, testers, and administrators work in a single stream – they are not responsible for each stage. Still, together they work on the release of the product and try to automate their departments’ tasks so that the code moves between stages without delay. In DevOps, responsibility for the outcome is shared between the entire team.
In DevOps, tasks continuously move between development departments: the tested code is immediately released for release. The reports collected by the administrator about the application’s operation turn into a plan for developers.
For DevOps to work, you need to establish continuous communication – a pipeline between developers, testers, and administrators. It requires automation tools to help you more efficiently transfer code, test it, and deploy it to servers.
DevOps is not just a philosophy but a technology. It is not enough to say: “We work as one team” – it is also necessary to provide the tools for such collaboration. Typically, a dedicated person is hired to set up such tools and processes – a DevOps engineer.
“An example from practice: in 2018, one of the small companies in the advertising market decided to order the development of a CRM system adapted to its business processes. Employees drew up requirements, chose a contractor. Development and implementation took about a year, and during this time, the business processes have changed. The newly developed system needed to be redesigned, the company again turned to the contractor – and the new development took another six months.
If the contractor had used DevOps, would have launched the CRM system in six months, the product would not have to be reworked, and the company would have saved at least 20% of the development budget. | [

The allometry of number of feathers in birds changes seasonally
Avian Research volume 6, Article number: 2 (2015)
Feathers are a defining feature of birds with multiple functions such as flight, insulation, protection against predation and signaling. Feathers are lost during the annual molt while the rate of such loss at other times of the year and its fitness consequences remain poorly known.
I used information on the number and the mass of feathers for 160 individuals belonging to 85 species of birds in general linear mixed models to analyze allometry of feathers and to investigate possible factors explaining variation in the number of feathers. A phylogenetic effect was assessed by quantifying the random effect of genus.
The total mass of feathers increased isometrically with body mass, while the total number of feathers and the mean mass of feathers showed negative allometry. Negative allometry implied that small-sized species had relatively many small feathers. There was a negative association between the number of feathers and migration distance. The total number of feathers initially increased during fall and winter, consistent with individuals growing more feathers later during the year or with individuals with fewer feathers selectively disappearing from the population. In contrast, the number of feathers decreased from winter through spring and summer.
These findings suggest that thermoregulation has affected the evolution of the number and the size of feathers, there is selection against feather loss, and that the number of feathers varies across seasons.
The number of feathers varies among species of birds from less than 1000 to more than 10000 (Wetmore 1936; Brodkorb 1985), although the factors accounting for this variation remain poorly known. Feathers have a number of functions because they provide insulation (Whittow 1986), protect against predators (Dathe 1955; Mester and Pünte 1959; Tautenhahn 1959; Berger 1960; Höglund 1964; Lindström and Nilsson 1988; Møller et al. 2006), allow for flight and contribute to signalling through size, shape and color (Darwin 1871; Andersson 1982). Down are smaller than contour feathers, but equally important for the maintenance of a high body temperature (Dyck 1985). Several studies have shown that seasonal changes in energy management strategies are related to variation in plumage weight (Saarela et al. 1984; Dove et al. 2007). Furthermore seasonal changes in plumage weight suggest better insulation during colder months (Dawson and Carey 1976; Dawson et al. 1983; Swanson 1991; Cooper 2002). Finally, feather structure could be trade against the number of feathers (Dawson and Carey 1976; Middleton 1986; Walsberg 1988; Lindström, et al. 1993; Dawson et al. 2000; Wolf and Walsberg 2000).
If there is gradual loss of feathers during the annual cycle following the complete molt, we should expect a gradual reduction over time. Brodkorb (1985) reported that house sparrows Passer domesticus loose 11.5% of their feathers from winter to summer, although the data were cross-sectional rather than longitudinal. Hence these data do not allow separation of phenotypic plasticity from selective disappearance. Here I propose predictions that would help discriminate between alternative explanations for seasonal change in the number of feathers. If individuals with more feathers do better in terms of insulation than individuals with few feathers, we should expect an increase in the number of feathers during fall and winter as temperatures fall. If feathers provided protection against predators by allowing for escape, we should expect an increase in the number of feathers over time because individuals that have lost feathers due to predation were more likely to subsequently be captured by a predator or die from insufficient insulation. If the sole advantage of more feathers was simply to provide better insulation, we should expect isometry. If there were relatively more feathers on small species due to their high surface to volume ratio, we should expect negative allometry for the number of feathers. If the total mass of feathers showed isometry, we should expect that the number of feathers and the mean mass of feathers should show isometry.
The objectives of this study were to (1) estimate the allometry of number, total mass of the plumage and mean mass of feathers and (2) to model changes in the number of feathers during the annual cycle to better understand the temporal patterns of feather loss. The number of feathers should reach a maximum at the end of molt, when all feathers including missing ones have been replaced, the only exception being feather loss at the stage of molt. Any subsequent loss of feathers following molt should result in a reduction in the total number of feathers. In contrast, a subsequent increase in the number of feathers later during the year would only be possible if individuals with more feathers survived better than individuals with fewer feathers. Alternatively, individuals may grow more feathers during fall and winter although there is no empirical evidence so far for such seasonal growth of feathers. Thus, a seasonal increase in the number of feathers would represent an estimate of the selective advantage of having more feathers with individuals with few feathers disappearing from the population.

Working towards climate justice for all Native peoples.
Native Womxn’s Climate Justice Mentorship
Colonization, land dispossession, and forced migration has left Native people more vulnerable to the impacts of the climate crisis.
For example, a 2021 study found that Native people face greater wildfire and drought risk than they would if they were still living on their historical lands. The Fifth National Climate Assessment released in November 2023 observed that “historical abuses of Indigenous rights have significant responsibility for the heightened severity of climate disruption.” Despite all this, Indigenous worldviews confer important strengths and resilience. Native communities have a deep attunement to and intimate knowledge of the natural cycles of plants, animals, and weather. As a result, Native communities are better able to respond and adapt to climate change, and to develop powerful climate justice leaders rooted in a holistic, long-term vision.
The Indigenous worldview is inherently strategic. Instead of short-term thinking, Indigenous cultures hold a vision that spans Seven Generations.
This long-term perspective means that forging an intergenerational leadership approach is essential.
R2HF is creating the Native Womxn Climate Justice Mentorship Program in response to this need. Launching in 2024, this new program will develop leadership skills among a cohort of young climate justice warriors aged 18-27, guided by previous generations of Native Womxn who have already walked this path.
Approach & Activities
During the first year of operation, the program will support 6-8 participants from Native communities from different regions.
The mentorship will pair young Native womxn ages 18-27 with seasoned leaders from R2HF’s Fellows and Traditional Healers and Helpers who will serve as mentors, helping them strengthen their voices in places and spaces where they have not been heard. Mentors will support participating youth to create service projects, climate innovations, and cultural narratives that are connected to community perspectives and priorities. In addition, youth mentees will come together and engage in a Native Youth Climate Justice community of practice to learn from and support each other, building peer accountability within a broader cross-tribal space.
Key program activities include:
• Youth-led climate justice service and narrative projects.
• Monthly Mentorship calls to share guidance, opportunities, encouragement, and strategies.
• Create a network and coalition of Native Youth engaged in climate justice to support and learn from one another.
• Increase understanding of the urgent socio-political issues that Indigenous Womxn and People face today, particularly as they relate to climate justice.
• Create a platform for visibility and create awareness around climate justice issues where Native Youth are generating solutions.
• Connect and engage with other youth-oriented climate justice organizations particularly in advance of COP 29.
• Provide financial support through stipends to participants.
• Evaluation component to document the scope of Native Young Womxn’s voice on a national level. | [

S/N 003 To Be Used For Autopilot, FIKI Development
Diamond Aircraft Industries announced Tuesday its D-Jet serial
number 003 completed its first flight, marking another important
milestone in the company’s D-Jet personal jet program. The
aircraft departed from Diamond Aircraft’s London, Ontario
facility for a successful one hour and 25 minute flight with Chief
Test Pilot Daniel Ribeiro at the controls.
The planemaker reports the flight went "exactly as planned, with
completion of all test cards."
D-Jet 003’s initial test program will focus on performance
and handling quality refinement, similar to the mission of previous
Diamond D-Jet flight test aircraft, but will additionally be used
to further develop key systems, including avionics, fuel,
autopilot, and anti-ice.
Later this year S/N 003 will be retrofit with the Williams
International FJ33-19 engine, to begin testing with the production
The D-Jet is designed specifically for the owner pilot, with
attainability from both a financial as well as pilot qualification
Diamond states the combination of an extremely roomy cabin
and three large baggage compartments, with a familiar flight
envelope (to FL250), the FADEC-controlled FJ33 engine and the
Garmin G1000 three-screen flight deck, makes the D-Jet the ideal
Personal Light Jet, for pilots stepping up from high performance
piston singles, twins and light turboprops or downsizing from
expensive-to-operate, older, light business jets.

Tiny houses lead to tiny footprints (mostly)
October 2019—For her PhD, Emily wanted to know if living in a tiny house led to other sustainable behaviors. As it turns out, it did.
Her research discovered that on average, residents reduced their individual footprints by 45 percent after they settled into a tiny home, which is a huge reduction. She also found that the move and new lifestyle impacted other aspects and behaviors even without the inhabitants realizing it.
But not everything got better.
While 86 percent of behaviors changed for the better, about 13 percent changed for the worse. For example, tiny house residents tended to eat out more to avoid the frustration of cooking in a cramped kitchen. These residents recycled less because they had limited space for sorting and storing recyclable materials. They also tended to travel more, including both adventure trips and traveling further for basic items, likely because many tiny houses are located in more rural areas than where the owners previously lived.
You may not want to move into a tiny home but this study shows that downsizing can make a significant different. Move to a smaller space, share your house with someone else, or just clear out all the clutter. Once you live in a minimalist home, keeping only those things that bring joy, you’ll likely change your consumption patterns. | [

Caption: A locust (Oedaleus asiaticus) pauses in its preferred habitat -- a field heavily grazed by sheep (background) near the Inner Mongolia Grassland Ecological Research Station in northeast China. Heavy livestock grazing enhances soil erosion and nitrogen depletion which promotes outbreaks of this locust by shifting plant nutrient content toward lower nitrogen conditions favorable to O. asiaticus. In contrast to paradigms for nitrogen limitation in herbivores, higher nitrogen diets decrease growth and survival of this locust.

The trial of the Theranos Inc. founder, which opened Wednesday, is shaping up as a media event that will explore the dark side of Silicon Valley superstardom.
The trial of Elizabeth Holmes — a former “Silicon Valley superstar” who founded Theranos Inc., a disgraced blood testing start-up that allegedly lied to investors and consumers about its success, even as its technology repeatedly failed — began Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported. Expected to last three months and potentially feature testimony from Holmes herself, the trial is shaping up to generate significant media attention, and early legal arguments are already emerging. Assistant U.S. attorney Robert Leach described to the jury Holmes involvement with Theranos, which has been the subject of documentaries, books and podcasts.
According to Leach, Holmes defrauded patients and investors, including Henry Kissinger and Betsy DeVos, by touting the success of her ineffective technology as she willingly “cut corners” and “cheat[ed]” to raise money. With the assistance of top executive Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, Holmes directed employees to alter commercial blood machines to work with small amounts of blood, which allowed her to “‘buy time’” when she couldn’t deliver on planned partnerships with Walgreens and Safeway. But attorneys for Holmes, whose investigation by the WSJ led, in-part, to Theranos’ demise, attempted to portray the 37-year-old as a hardworking, albeit “naive,” entrepreneur.

CaptionsActivity at Kliuchevskoi Volcano, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russian Federation
When viewing conditions are favorable, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) can take unusual and striking images of the Earth. This astronaut photograph provides a view of an eruption plume emanating from Kliuchevskoi Volcano, one of the many active volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Nadir views – looking “straight down”—that are typical of orbital satellite imagery tend to flatten the appearance of the landscape by reducing the sense of three dimensions of the topography.
In contrast, this image was taken from the ISS with a very oblique viewing angle that gives a strong sense of three dimensions, which is accentuated by the shadows cast by the volcanic peaks. This resulted in a view similar to what a person might see from a low-altitude airplane. The image was taken when the ISS was located over a ground position more than 1500 km to the southwest.
The plume – likely a combination of steam, volcanic gases, and ash – is extended to the east-southeast by prevailing winds; the dark region to the north-northwest of the plume is likely a product of both shadow and ash settling out. Several other volcanoes are visible in the image, including Ushkovsky, Tolbachik, Zimina, and Udina. To the south-southwest of Kliuchevskoi lies Bezymianny Volcano which appears to be emitting a small steam plume (visible at image center).

Researchers develop transportable optical atomic clock
Atomic clocks are no longer based on a microwave transition in cesium, instead operating with other atoms that are excited using optical frequencies. Some of these new clocks are portable. At its QUEST Institute, PTB is currently developing a transportable optical aluminum clock in order to measure physical phenomena outside a laboratory. A prerequisite for this is that the required lasers are able to endure transportation to other locations. PTB physicists have therefore developed a frequency-doubling unit that will continue to operate when it has been shaken at three times the Earth's gravitational acceleration. The results have been published in the current issue of the Review of Scientific Instruments.
It was Einstein who determined that two clocks located at two different positions in the gravitational field of the Earth operate at different speeds. What initially sounds bizarre has quite practical effects: Two optical atomic clocks with an extremely small relative measurement uncertainty of 10-18 can measure the difference in height between arbitrary points on the Earth at an accuracy of just one centimeter. This so-called chronometric levelling represents an important application of clocks in geodesy. One of the prerequisites for this is that the optical frequencies of the two clocks can be compared.
PTB is currently developing several types of atomic clock that can each be transported in a trailer or in a container. Their operation outside a protected laboratory, however, involves many challenges: The ambient temperature, for example, is much less stable. Furthermore, significant shocks may occur during transportation. This is why optical structures that have worked perfectly well in the laboratory may initially be unusable at the destination. They must painstakingly be readjusted—which leads to a loss of valuable research time.
This problem concerns the transportable aluminum clock being developed at the QUEST Institute. This clock requires two UV lasers at 267 nm. For this wavelength, researchers developed a long-wave infrared laser that can be frequency-doubled twice in succession. During this process, the light is coupled into a closed ring of four mirrors so that a high optical power is circulating within the ring. A non-linear crystal placed in this ring transforms the circulating light into light of half the wavelength.
Due to the dichroic coating of the mirror, the circulating light passes out of the resonator and is then used for reading the clock. The QUEST Institute has developed a design for this so-called frequency-doubling cavity, which is based on a monolithic, highly stable frame onto which all mirrors and the crystal are mounted. This sealed,setup is gas-tight to the outside in order to protect the crystal, which is highly sensitive even to the slightest contamination.
The developers of the cavity were able to demonstrate on a prototype that it also doubles the laser light while it is exposed to accelerations of 1 g. Furthermore, they demonstrated that the frequency doubling efficiency is not impaired after being subjected to accelerations of up to 3 g for 30 minutes. This corresponds to five times the value stated in Standard ISO 13355:2016 about road transportation on trucks. The cavity is, however, not only mechanically robust, but it is just as efficient as comparable systems that have been developed by research groups of other institutes. Moreover, 130 hours of uninterrupted continuous operation was demonstrated.
In view of these properties, the QUEST Institute has made several of these doubling cavities for different wavelengths (not only for UV) which became integral components of various quantum-optical experiments, with the aim of providing these experiments reliably with laser light. Moreover, a German optomechanics company has licensed the design in order to use it as a basis for a commercial product.

A personal favourite of the photos I took on my recent visit to the cathedral (and I took a shitload, if I can use profanity in proximity to the sacred).
Just one view of a small portion of the Gaudi structure.
So many many fragments to the seamless whole it is mindboggling – true visionary stuff.
(Holy Family is an English translation of Sagrada Familia). | [

A lengthy Environmental Assessment study that examined traffic flow in the city’s downtown core recommends that the existing one-way system be retained.
But the study also says that Sault Ste. Marie doesn’t have the traffic capacity for the four-lane system on Bay Street – and won’t in the future.
The study recommends that Bay Street, between Andrew and Pim Streets, be converted to a two lane one-way street with turning lanes at busy intersections.
The turning lanes are recommended at Bruce, Elgin, Spring, Brock and East streets, council was told.
A two lane system will provide sufficient capacity and level of service, especially if turning lanes are provided for high volume turns at specific intersections, the report concludes.
Councillors questioned whether a two-lane system would allow for curbside snow storage during the winter months and allow for safe transit stops along the route. They were told both would be possible. | [

I was just telling my friend Steven last night how much I dig the style of California girls. It's so effortless, and unafraid to be boarder line quirky while still staying absolutely chic.
And now that I live in LA, I love love love photo shoots with LA as the background. Like this one shot by Leo Frumbacher.

- Sitona banner
Leaf notching around the leaf margins caused by adult pea and bean weevil (Sitona lineatus) does not significantly affect yield. However, when adults are present they lay eggs leading to larvae. The damage to the nitrogen fixing root nodules by the larvae is serious and can reduce yield. Adults migrate in early spring from over-wintering sites (mainly grassy uncultivated edges of fields previously cropped with peas or beans) when temperatures start to warm.
Pheromone traps from Agralan can be used to monitor the pest. The procedure involves placing five traps on the headland of a field where a pea or bean crop has been previously grown. The threshold for crop treatment is an average of 30 weevils per trap per day.
There have been reports of poor performance of the pyrethroid insecticides currently used to control the pest and it is now known that the weevil has evolved resistance to them. The Processors and Growers Research Organisation (PGRO) commissioned research to test for pyrethroid resistance. Dr Steve Foster at Rothamsted Research tested samples collected in 2015 from Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire. He found they contain adult weevils that are resistant to a representative pyrethroid when it is applied at an equivalent dose to that used in the field. The next step is to establish the mechanism conferring this resistance which is likely to extend to other pyrethroids. In the meantime, growers should be aware that treatment with these compounds against this pest may not be effective. Field trials conducted by PGRO and Keele University in 2018 found that there was no difference in weevil infestation levels in field plots treated with pyrethroid compared to untreated plots i.e. the insecticide no longer works.
Fleece covering crops with the edges buried can provide an alternative control approach but needs to be in place before seedlings emerge and before the pest arrived. Extra fertiliser application may be required because the pest attacks the nitrogen fixing root nodules. Research into an entomopathogenic fungus for controlling the pea and bean weevil has started but there is not yet a commercial product. | [

What is Membrane Switch keypads?
A membrane switch is a printed electronic circuit that uses pressure to open and close a circuit. The membrane switch circuitry is most often screen printed using conductive inks, which are typically made of silver, carbon, and/or graphite. Membrane switches are part of a range of devices considered to be user interfaces (also called operator interfaces, or man-machine interfaces) along with display-based touch screens, and mechanical switches such as push button, toggle, rocker, and slide switches. The ultimate purpose of a membrane switch is to serve as the interface between man and machine, enabling an operator to communicate with a piece of equipment, instrument, or machinery. | [

- With the decrease in the over ground utilizable space and increase in growth of metro structures, cut and cover structures are becoming rather impossible to conceptualize and construct. Hence they are slowly replaced by underground openings made by NATM methods. These tunnels could be using rock bolts and shotcrete as support systems for poor-fair quality rock masses whereas ground improvement will be needed for extremely poor quality deposits. At this point it will be prudent enough to understand the seismic performance of these support systems if such a demand comes in short term. Since for extremely weak deposits grout curtain for ground improvement acts as a barrier, the focus will be on better quality rock masses where rock bolts and shotcrete are only used as primary supports. For the same a relatively low RMR value is adopted for the rock mass under consideration. A typical NATM tunnel geometry is adopted which has to be excavated using conventional methods. Suitable support systems for the same are designed. Then seismic performance of these support systems are deduced using two different approaches namely (1) Pseudo Static Method as per IS 1893 and (2) Quasi Static displacement approach as per EC-8. A sensitivity analyses for the support systems at different cover depths are explored. Comparative studies of the above approaches are made and their applicability for similar problems is discussed

Earth’s First Asteroid Defender was a Smashing Success (Feature)
By Sarah Wells
In September 2022, Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) became the first asteroid-deflecting spacecraft to demonstrate how to nudge the path of an asteroid out of harm’s way. While the binary asteroid system targeted by DART, Didymos and its “moonlet” Dimorphos, was never a potential threat to Earth, the mission’s success has the potential to move planetary defense from the drawing board to reality.

How Amateur Astronomy Has Evolved (Feature)
By Briley Lewis
Amateur astronomy groups are in every state — and across the globe. They provide a sense of community for space-interested folks, do impactful local science communication, and contribute to scientific discoveries. They cultivate an interest in astronomy, for some inspiring careers and for others a great hobby, or at least a greater appreciation for the universe. Where did these groups come from, and why is there this divide between “amateur” and “professional” astronomy?

While most dog owners appear to have a general awareness of the prevalence of canine Lyme disease, many don’t understand preventive measures, such as vaccination, according to a new survey launched by Merial of Duluth, Ga., in recognition of April’s Prevent Lyme in Dogs Month.
For example, 95 percent of dog owners are aware certain tick species carry and transmit Lyme disease, yet only 45 percent of owners have their dogs vaccinated against the disease.
Furthermore, 55 percent of dog owners don’t or are unsure if they vaccinate their dogs against the disease, while 34 percent believe there is no effective vaccine for the disease, according to the study.
Although 92 percent agree traveling dogs may help spread the disease by transporting infected ticks, more than 25 percent of the responding dog owners believe Lyme disease is a problem in the Northeast but not much of a concern in other parts of the United States.
“Lyme-positive dogs continue to be reported across the country,” said Andrew Eschner, DVM, senior technical services veterinarian for Merial. “Between traveling pets and migratory birds and animals, Lyme-positive dogs have been reported in all 50 states, making continued education and communication about this potentially debilitating disease incredibly important.”
Clinical signs of canine Lyme disease include limping, lymph node swelling, fever, loss of appetite, painful joints, and general lethargy. Treatment with antibiotics usually clears up signs in dogs that have become ill, but veterinarians believe the infection remains for life, according to Merial.
The online survey of 1,005 pet owners was conducted by WMS Marketing Services between Jan. 5 and 9. | [

Suggested Family Activity • Spring Activity Packets!
Have you picked up your spring themed children’s activity packets from one of the branches of the Northeast Regional Library? The packets are filled with new seasonal coloring sheets, activity sheets, craft and game ideas, a suggested reading list and supplies to make several craft projects. The craft project supplies will make three craft projects: a Signature Art project (that is also a fun way to practice writing in cursive), a Paper Bunny craft, and your choice between a Spring Plate Chick and Birds in a Nest. Full written instructions, templates and a photo of the completed project are included for each project.
If you have already picked up a packet and liked the bunny craft included this month, try this other fun art activity using your child’s handprint: To turn your child’s hand into a spring lily, trace their hand on white paper and cut it out. Next, cut a stamen shape out of yellow paper. Make a slit in the palm part of the hand to stick the stamen through. Then, curl each finger around a pencil or marker to give it a little definition and shape. Next, cut out a stem and leaves out of green paper. Finally, glue everything together onto another piece of paper. (Your hand might look better as a flower if you trim the palm part into a V shape.)
If you have some cheap, white paper plates, your kids can turn them into a carrot patch in time for spring! Cut one plate in half and tape or glue it to another plate so that it forms a pocket. Kids can color the half portion plate either green or brown. Next, cut out carrot shapes from orange paper (or use white paper and children can color the carrots themselves). Cut out the carrots and add tiny green strips of paper to the top of each one to represent the green tops. Kids can ‘plant’ their carrots by sticking them into the pocket.

The subject of power electronics originated in the early part of the twentieth century with the development and application of devices such as the mercury arc rectifier and the thyratron valve. Indeed many of the circuits currently in use and described in this book were developed in that period. However, the range of applications for these early devices tended to be restricted by virtue of their size and problems of reliability and control. With the development of power semiconductor devices, offering high reliability in a relatively compact form, power electronics began to expand its range and scope, with applications such as DC motor control and power supplies taking the lead. Initially, power semiconductor devices were available with only relatively low power levels and switching speeds. However, developments in device technology resulted in a rapid improvement in performance, accompanied by a corresponding increase in applications. These now range from power supplies using a single transistor to high voltage DC transmission where the mercury arc valve was replaced in the 1970s by a solid-state 'valve' using thyristor stacks. Developments in microprocessor technology have also influenced the develop ment of power electronics. This is particularly apparent in the areas of control, where analogue controllers are being replaced by digital systems, and in the evolution of the'smart power' devices. These developments have in turn led to system improvements in areas such as robot drives, power supplies and railway traction systems.

Cloudy morning in Delhi, heavy showers likely
New Delhi, July 13 (IANS) It was a pleasant, cloudy morning for the capital Friday with the minimum temperature settling at 27.4 degrees Celsius, a notch above average for the season. The weather office has forecast heavy showers later in the day.
"The sky would remain generally cloudy. Frequent and heavy spells of showers are expected later in the day," said an official from India Meteorological Department.
"The maximum temperature will stay around 33 degrees Celsius," the official said.
While rainfall recorded in the last 24 hours was 4.1 mm, the incessant showers increased the humidity to a whopping 92 percent.
The days ahead are likely to be muggy, added the official.
Parts of Delhi were lashed by heavy rainfall Thursday afternoon, bringing the maximum temperature three notches below average to 32.8 degrees Celsius. The minimum temperature was, however, a notch above average at 28.2 degrees Celsius.

Hydrogen Powered Cars (Educational Toy). Have you ever played with toys? I know, stupid question. Sometimes in our childhood, we played with some amazing toys and thought “if I got a real big one!” Anyone ever thought about a toy runs by water? Probably never. Hydrogen Powered Cars is beyond our all imaginations. And… they are powered by water!

This chapter covers the following exam topics:
1.0 Network Fundamentals
1.6 Configure and verify IPv4 addressing and subnetting
2.0 Network Access
2.4 Configure and verify (Layer 2/Layer 3) EtherChannel (LACP)
The preceding two chapters showed how to configure an IP address and mask on a router interface, making the router ready to route packets to/from the subnet implied by that address/mask combination. While true and useful, all the examples so far ignored the LAN switches and the possibility of VLANs. In fact, the examples so far show the simplest possible cases: the attached switches as Layer 2 switches, using only one VLAN, with the router configured with one ip address command on its physical interface. This chapter takes a detailed look at how to configure routers so that they route packets to/from the subnets that exist on each and every VLAN.
Because Layer 2 switches do not forward Layer 2 frames between VLANs, a network must use routers to route IP packets between subnets to allow those devices in different VLANs/subnets to communicate. To review, Ethernet defines the concept of a VLAN, while IP defines the concept of an IP subnet, so a VLAN is not equivalent to a subnet. However, the set of devices in one VLAN are typically also in one subnet. By the same reasoning, devices in two different VLANs are normally in two different subnets. For two devices in different VLANs to communicate with each other, routers must connect to the subnets that exist on each VLAN, and then the routers forward IP packets between the devices in those subnets.
This chapter discusses the configuration and verification steps related to three methods of routing between VLANs with three major sections:
VLAN Routing with Router 802.1Q Trunks: The first section discusses how to configure a router to use VLAN trunking as connected to a Layer 2 switch. The router does the routing, with the switch creating the VLANs. The link between the router and switch use trunking so that the router has an interface connected to each VLAN/subnet. This feature is known as routing over a VLAN trunk and also known as router-on-a-stick (ROAS).
VLAN Routing with Layer 3 Switch SVIs: The second section discusses using a LAN switch that supports both Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing (called a Layer 3 switch or multilayer switch). To route, the Layer 3 switch configuration uses interfaces called switched virtual interfaces (SVI), which are also called VLAN interfaces.
VLAN Routing with Layer 3 Switch Routed Ports: The third major section of the chapter discusses an alternative to SVIs called routed ports, in which the physical switch ports are made to act like interfaces on a router. This third section also introduces the concept of an EtherChannel as used as a routed port in a feature called Layer 3 EtherChannel.

Sarah – a Medicaid beneficiary – was a single mother, struggling to make ends meet while raising two young children. She worked tirelessly at a minimum-wage job, but it was never enough to cover all the bills. To make matters worse, she was diagnosed with a chronic illness that required expensive medication and frequent doctor visits a few months ago. Despite these challenges, Sarah always put her children first.
As Christmas approached, Sarah knew she couldn’t afford to buy her kids any gifts, so she began researching programs that provided gifts to kids in need. After days of searching, she found most were no longer accepting applications.
Sarah knew she was going to have to make a tough decision about what to skip this month to get by. She knew if she didn’t pay rent, they would be evicted. If she didn’t buy food, they would go hungry. She might be able to skip purchasing her medication this month or eating less, but that wouldn’t be enough. She knew it was a risky decision, one that could have serious consequences, but the thought of her children waking up to nothing on Christmas morning was too much to bear.
Thankfully, a CHESS case worker contacted Sarah to see if they could provide her any resources. CHESS learned that Sarah had been looking for a program to help her kids this Christmas and that she was struggling financially to afford her bills, medicine, and everyday expenses. For two weeks, the CHESS case worker called and researched programs for Sarah. Once the case worker found a program, she helped Sarah apply since she did not have a computer or printer.
Sarah was accepted to the program and was overwhelmed with gratitude and relief, knowing that her children would not go without this Christmas. CHESS’ support helped ease Sarah’s burden by addressing her social determinants of health and allowed her to focus on her health and well-being. | [

The first time I ever put on a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), several people questioned my purpose. "But Kara, you don’t have diabetes? But you’re young? But you’re healthy?"
My primary goal for collecting as much personalized data as I can, like the data collected from interstitial fluid-based CGM devices, is knowledge. Knowledge is power.
Glucose isn't just a metric that helps guide diabetes management. In fact, there are a number of reasons that using a CGM without diabetes can be beneficial for making healthier lifestyle choices.
Glucose is a vital sign, just like heart rate or body temperature. It may be impacted by your lifestyle habits, including your diet, fasting regimen, physical fitness, stress, sleep, and more. Glucose patterns may provide much more than just identifying glycemic levels for people with prediabetes, type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.
What's The Point of Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor?
Being able to see how your blood glucose levels respond in real-time to your many lifestyle factors makes it easy to identify what you're doing well and where there's room for improvement. It also may offer some insight into certain symptom patterns such as post-meal fatigue.
Once you have access to this data, you have more power. You can discover how your body uniquely responds to different variables. Instead of following cookie-cutter recommendations from the healthcare system, you can build a personalized routine to optimize your health.
Customizing your diet and lifestyle habits to fit your body's needs can help you reduce the risk of future health concerns, and conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. As a dietitian, I am inundated with new research and nutritional information every day.
Nutrition has become similar to politics with passionate ideologies and heated debates. There is so much noise in the world of nutrition, but wearing a glucose monitoring system can help cut through the noise.
Getting Started with a CGM
The initial experience of wearing a continuous glucose monitor is all about exploration — figuring out what your baseline glucose levels as a non-diabetic are and how your normal routine affects those values. It provides an initial view of how your current approach may be impacting your glucose levels.
Once you've gathered insights into how your body functions, you can tweak and alter your habits accordingly over time. Since wearing CGMs (calibration can be done to match your blood tests if you have had work done previously), I've been able to fine-tune my routine based on the hundreds of data points collected by the device.
There's no way I could gather this much data by just using a fingerstick, and that's one of the many benefits of the CGM device. In addition to glucose readings, I've learned so much about myself in general.
In this article, I'm going to share these insights so that you can hopefully take away inspiration for how to experiment with your own CGM and support your health.
Insight #1: Food Pairings Have a Big Impact on Glucose Levels
While wearing my CGM sensor, discoveries started to pop up all over the place. In particular, I really gained insight into my meal choices. I could list 50 different food insights I learned, but one thing that really stood out was the impact of heavily processed foods.
Oatmeal paired with scrambled eggs is something I commonly have as a post-workout meal, and it is part of my regular routine. I have experimented with many different ways to prepare my oatmeal at this point.
Altering the time of day I eat it, pairing it with various toppings, soaking it overnight, etc. Through all of my CGM experiments, there was one variable that mattered the most — how processed the oats were.
After a lot of experimentation, I've crafted the following recipe that works best for me:
- ½ cup oats
- 2 tablespoon of chia seeds
- One scoop collagen
- ½ cup of wild blueberries
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- Dash of cinnamon
Now, the following CGM graph shows what happened when I ate that exact recipe around 8 a.m. with instant oats:
Here, you can see what is considered a glucose spike occurring around 10 a.m. Notice this huge glucose spike, followed by a quick return to normal blood glucose level a few hours later. This response led to an energy crash, followed by feelings of hunger an hour after that.
The following graph is the same recipe, but I changed my oats to steel-cut oats and consumed them around 7 a.m. The result? A controlled glucose response and no feelings of hunger for over five hours.
Seeing this data helped me personalize one of my favorite foods to work with my unique response.
Insight #2: A Few Carbohydrates Can Cause a Giant Glucose Spike

The Ford Motor Company has issued safety recalls for select Ford F-150 trucks and Expedition SUVs.
Ford stated that there could be gear shift problems that could make drivers think the vehicle is in park when it is not. This could lead to "unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury or crash" according to a Ford Motor Company.
NPR announced that about 350,000 vehicles are being recalled that were made for the 2018 model that have 10 speed and 6 speed automatic transmissions.
The affected vehicles include:
2018 Ford F-150 vehicles built at the Dearborn Assembly Plant from Jan. 5, 2017 to Feb. 16, 2018
2018 Ford F-150 vehicles built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant from Jan. 25, 2017 to Feb. 16, 2018
2018 Ford Expedition vehicles built at the Kentucky Truck Plant from April 3, 2017 to Jan. 30, 2018
2018 Ford F-650 and F-750 vehicles built at the Ohio Assembly Plant from April 25, 2017 to March 9, 2018
The problem can be corrected by the inspection of a dealer to verify that the shift locking clip was properly installed. Technicians will adjust the shifter cable and secure the locking clip if the clip is not properly seated. This will be done for free for the customer, said in an NPR statement.
A smaller number of For Expeditions, Lincoln Navigators, and Ford Mustangs are also being recalled, stated by NPR.
Those affected vehicles include:
2017-18 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Assembly Plant, Oct. 20, 2016 to March 5, 2018
2017-18 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Kansas City Assembly Plant, Dec. 22, 2017 to Feb. 26, 2018
2018 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Nov. 28, 2017 to Feb. 14, 2018
2018 Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Nov. 6, 2017 to Feb. 12, 2018
2018 Lincoln Navigator vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Dec. 13, 2017 to March 8, 2018 | [

A total of 150 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were subjected to the tests on the API Staph system. Of
these, 50 were also tested by conventional methods, using the same tests as those found on the API Staph strips.
Applying the principles of numerical taxonomy, the relationship between these isolates was 82 % and more.
Tests for the metabolism of sucrose and N-acetyl-glucosamine and for the production of argenine dihydrolysate
and urease appear to be superfluous in the identification of S. aureus in this system.
The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 600dpi.

It's been nice to get out and enjoy a stretch of nice weather these past several days. The humidity has not been much of a factor and and the temperatures have been right in line with the season.
Just as in life however, all good things must come to an end and it looks as though the threat of some wet weather is on the way. Today will not be a washout, but there is a good chance we'll see some tropical downpours before the day comes to a close. Not everyone will get wet, but where there is some rainfall, some will be briefly heavy. The area of low pressure which will be responsible for the wet weather will make its way out to sea at night and Wednesday will start to look better with some sun. The humidity will be on the rise for the next few days, but there is no sign the heat will be a factor anytime soon. | [

In this interview for Reality Sandwich Prof. McDonald reflects on the differences between the concepts of daimons and.demons, including how and why demons replaced daimons in the popular imagination, the importance of Jung to historians of alchemy, prehistoric stone circles, Hegel as a Hermeticist, Stephanos of Alexandria, and much more.
I am aware of the points of contact of the body with something else; I am aware if there is a tension in a muscle; I am aware if I feel pain somewhere; I am aware of the heart beating or of the breathing. But all these are like dots. If I say that I am aware of the shape of the body, I am putting a line across all these dots and saying that is the shape. But it is not me. It is an assumption, an image.

practice of Sacred Geometry opens to the mind’s eye an analog of
alternate worlds, higher dimensions representing the ultimate creative
process and an unfolding evolution from Unity to multiplicity, and it
demonstrates the fact that this unfolding on a cosmic scale is governed
by the laws and relations of geometry."
The Meaning of Sacred Geometry part 2. What's The Point?
Read part 1 of the Meaning of Sacred Geometry here,
“Ante omnia Punctum exstitit…”
“Before all things were, there was a Point.”
Anonymous, 18th century ‘Le Mystere de la Croix’
to be fully appreciated and experienced, must be undertaken as a
contemplative, or meditative exercise. From the initial act of putting
pencil or compass point to paper each act of geometry is charged with
meaning. The process of producing the forms, patterns and symbols of
Sacred Geometry should be undertaken as a ritual act, where each line,
curve, shape, gesture or operation takes on a significance far beyond
the mere act itself, and reveals fundamental processes of creativity on a
vast scale and range of phenomenon, from the geometry of atomic and
molecular organization, through the forms and patterns of biological
systems, to the scale of the cosmos itself and the very structure of
Space and Time. Indeed, the emergence of the Universe from the
unknowable and unfathomable void, before the very existence of Time and
Space, was an act of Geometry. It is nothing less than this ultimate
act of Creation which is replicated through the placing of pencil upon
paper and from this point the drawing of a line or arc. From these
simple operations, the Geometrician soon learns to generate an infinite
variety of form and pattern, and is, thereby, following in the footsteps
of Nature herself, such being the indispensable requirement for success
on the Hermetic path.
To ancient masters and teachers geometry
was seen as the definitive Holy Science from which emerged all other
sciences. Masonic author Carl Lundy affirms this status when he says:
science rests upon mathematics, and mathematics is first and last,
geometry… Geometry is the ultimate fact we have won out of a puzzling
The presumed requirement on the part of
Plato, the acknowledged greatest Metaphysician of the Hellenic world,
that anyone seeking admission to his academy must be conversant with the
principles of Geometry, affirms the importance of this form of mental
training to anyone desiring to tread the path to Metaphysical Knowledge.
Practicing xenolinguist Diana Slattery writes about Simon Powell’s new book,"The Psilocybin Solution, The Role of Sacred Mushrooms in the Quest for Meaning," that concerns the ability of the psilocybin experience to deliver high-speed downloads; information transmission as communication with the Other; and especially, information delivered as a visual language of intense concentration. | [

Simulations with animal models meant to mirror galactic cosmic radiation exposure to astronauts are raising red flags for investigators at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) about the health of astronauts during long voyages, such as to Mars.
Their most recent study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), suggests that deep space bombardment by galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) could significantly damage gastrointestinal (GI) tissue leading to long-term functional alterations. The study also raises concern about high risk of tumor development in the stomach and colon.
Human deep space travel has to be rapid. The longer the travel time, the more physiological damage. That's it in a nutshell. To read more, click here. | [

Buccaneer Completes Drilling Ops at 2nd Kenai Loop Well
Buccaneer provided the following update on the progress of the Kenai Loop # 3 well which is the second well in the Kenai Loop development program:
- Time: 9am (Sydney) September 28/ 3pm (Anchorage) September 27, 2011.
- Depth: 11,000' Total Vertical Depth (TVD).
- Activity: Drilling operations have been completed. Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools have been laid down, additional logging with wire-line tools will commence shortly.
The LWD tools have identified up to 345' of potential gross pay interval in the Upper Tyonek Formation between 9,000' and 11,000'.
Within the above gross pay LWD logs have indentified pay from 4 zones totalling approximately 285' of gross thickness. A brief description of these zones is as follows:
- Zone 1 is approximately 45' thick and comprised of multi-storied, conglomeritic sandstone with logs demonstrating porosity and permeability.
- Zone 2 is approximately 70' thick and comprised of multi-storied sandstone which is partly conglomeritic with logs demonstrating porosity and permeability.
- Zone 3 is approximately 100' in gross thickness and is made up of 3 massive, conglomeritic, stacked channel sandstones. The upper channel is the thickest with 35 – 40' of logged porosity and permeability.
- Zone 4 is approximately 70' in gross thickness and comprised of multi-storied, conglomeritic sandstones and logs demonstrating porosity and permeability.
- Correlation of the above zones to the identified pay in the Kenai Loop # 1 well is ongoing.
On completion of wire-line logging, wire-line formation pressure measurement and collection of fluid samples will be undertaken. Upon the recovery of the fluid samples, sidewall cores will be attempted to conclude the wire-line evaluation. After analysis of the data well testing operations will commence.

Hi guys, I'm looking to get my Cultus cleaned and polished especially from the inside. Is there any good professional car care centers for interior servicing & detailing work? Those who can really rejuvenate the interior and make it feel like a new one.
I dont want to go to casual Car Service centers and also will not opt for freelance inter-cleaning guys you can find at places like Tariq Road and Jamshaid Road etc.
I know about one place called Monaco Spa (formerly known as Ground Zero). Need to know if there are others also in this business. I think a member here, Adil Yaqoob, has also a similar sort of a setup in Defence, but have no experience of that. Can anyone comment on that if he has a first hand experience. | [

We will continue to have nice, cooler weather at least for a few more days. However, the heat is set to make a return before the week is out.
We will see a few clouds mixing with some sun through the end of the week. This will keep temperatures in the low to mid 90s through Friday.
This weekend brings more sun and temperatures topping out in the upper 90s and even some low 100s. The heat looks to carry over into much of next week with highs remaining in the upper 90s. | [

Get some addition practice while reading picture books together. There are a ton of great picture books that have overt and hidden addition facts and practice, but you can turn any book into a lesson in addition. If you read a page with a picture of a forest, you might say to your child, "I see three trees and four flowers. How many plants are there all together?" You can add characters, shapes, items, or anything in multiples.
Encourage your child to work on a new math addition worksheet everyday to keep adding skills fresh. Mix things up with basic addition worksheets and more challenging exercises, and even a few addition facts worksheets to keep your child engaged with the subject.
It all starts here with addition! Learning addition is the first step on your way to subtraction, and makes up the foundation of all of the strategies used to teach multiplication. These math fact timed tests and multiple digit addition problems should make up the core of your strategies for teaching addition concepts, but when you are ready for alternative strategies:
- Picture Math Addition.
- Addition Flash Cards.
- Addition and Subtraction Grid Puzzle Worksheets.
If you want to boost love for math for your child, one of the best things you can do is play a math game. A game puts both of you in a good mood and the child directly experiences the fun side of you and math. What’s more, it need not be complex. In fact, you can make a lot of math games right at your home and start playing in less than a minute. | [

Strengthen and protect your health with Optivida Health’s Complete Essentials – The perfect blend of the highest potency whole food vitamins and minerals coupled with powerful detoxifying agents.
Did you know that according to the Center for Disease Control, nine out of ten Americans don’t get enough fruits and vegetables? Even if you are able to get the recommended daily allowance you still probably aren’t getting the amounts of vitamins and minerals your body actually needs. For many, this is hard to accept.
Right? An apple is an apple.
The answer to that question is “yes and no.” Yes, an apple is an apple but for produce grown today – the nutrient content is about 40% LOWER than identical produce grown 50 years ago when the original recommended daily allowances were created. This is due to genetic manipulation of plant genomes coupled with the high-density farming practices.

Film adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy to premiere at Toronto Film Festival
- Niki Boyle
- 20 August 2011
The premiere of Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy will take place at the Toronto Independent Film Festival WHEN, which takes place from 8–18 September. The film is directed by music video director Rob Heydon, making his big screen debut, and stars Scottish actors Adam Sinclair and Billy Boyd.
It’s the third of Welsh’s books to be adapted for the cinema, after 1996’s Trainspotting and 1998’s The Acid House. As with those, it’s a satirically edged story, largely set in Edinburgh’s drug-addicted underworld. Welsh is said to be very impressed with Sinclair’s performance in the film, and the appreciation goes both ways.
‘Like many Scots, I’d been a fan of Irvine Welsh’s novels for years so this was really a dream role,’ said Sinclair. ‘I’m really proud of the finished film and the buzz about it online has been incredible. I just can’t wait to see the reaction to it at Toronto.’
Heydon added, 'I want Ecstasy to be the most viscerally thrilling, emotionally exhilarating and life-affirming film. Many of the film’s events are violent and shocking, but above it all, I feel passionately this is a story of great hope, love and rekindling faith.' | [
