Public Service Broadcasting are back and for their second album, due out on February 2015, they are looking at ‘The Race for Space’. This time round, the BFI have given PSB use of its archive of the Soviet Space Race.
‘Gargarin’, based on Yuri, the first cosmonaut in space, is released as a single on December 1st. If you pre-order the album now, you’ll get an automatic download on December 1st.
PSB are so clever with the combination of samples and visuals for their videos that easily spills over to their live shows. They go on tour with Kaiser Chiefs in February before two album launch shows in the National Space Center in Leicester. The band then head off to the US and to SXSW before coming back to the UK and Ireland for an album tour.
Back to the single and its awesome video. It’s the best thing you’ll see all week.

We made our way back to Phoenix with some beautiful healing crystals, cactus candies, bundled sage, prickly pear tea and jelly from my friend Nox, a magnet for mom, teal and lavender turquoise pendants and flat arrowheads.
Whenever I travel, I always bring my family some tasty treats and trinkets from the city. My colleagues picked up some goodies from Trader Joe’s and snacks that we don’t get to enjoy in Hawaii.

Many people say these things to me on a regular basis and I have no doubt it is almost always impossible to tell that I am struggling or suffering. This is because I have been honing the art of deception forever. I often pride myself on my ability to tell the most convincing lies (do not ask my parents about the “lost” car keys and the night we nearly lived in a farmyard!) I learned to lie and deceive from day one in order to hide my condition and confusing symptoms and smuggle my way into the “normal” herds of life unseen, to make sure that I wouldn’t scare people away or make them feel sorry and sad. To make sure my family didn’t have to worry about me – it doesn’t take many agonizing goodbyes at the school gate for you to stop wanting to see your mom crying and desperate. Deception has always been my go-to strategy for survival.
However, something has changed. The last three and a half years of my life have been the hardest yet, with more needles, drugs, A&E visits and surgeries than ever before… and it’s still not over. Relentlessly, it has worn me down and I am all in.
The truth is I am struggling to cope with my chronic illness every day.
I no longer feel strong. I no longer have a sense of achievement or power within me just because I have experienced “the struggle” and defeated the odds. I can no longer identify with my “Heart Girl” label with determination or display my Badge of Survival with pride. Even with a lifelong, stark awareness of my own mortality, I am losing perspective on what is important. I am sinking in the chaos and misery and I am forgetting that I am lucky to be alive.
What I have come to realize now, though, is the real reason for my years of deception. The reason I have been putting on my brave face every day. It’s not for the concern of my friends and family and it’s not because I have wanted to fit in, but simply so I could protect myself from the truth, the hard reality of the hand I have been dealt.
For 31 years I have been putting on my brave face for me.
It has allowed me to convince myself that everything is OK.
It has allowed me that wonderful coping mechanism of denial.
I thought I had been lying and pretending for the sake of others but after all this time, I realize it was for me. Now that I know this, it is apparent it will no longer work and I have come unstuck. My go-to strategy is no longer available, deniability no longer an option.
So now for the truth.
My chronic illness is winning.
I may not be strong enough.
I am fearful and cowering.
Therefore, I take courage that, for now, I can tell you I am afraid.
Now in my 30’s, and unexpectedly struggling to cope with my identity, symptoms and congenital diagnosis, for the first time ever! Here for advice and understanding.

President Vladimir Putin during the meeting on development of the oil sector.
Russian oil producers have agreed not to increase oil production, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on development of the oil sector.
Other, more radical proposals for stabilizing the oil market are available, he said.

They are continuously consulting with our partners, the leading participants of the global oil market. Measures that could ensure market stability are being discussed. Balance out supply and demand," Putin said.
"That is, this involves, as the minister reported to me, and he was reaching agreement on this, had practically agreed with our partners on the global market, our not increasing oil production this year," he said.
"And the purpose of our meeting today is precisely that I would like to hear from you, will you really support this proposal of the minister? How do you feel about this?" the president said.

What kind of home would be best for me: We are seeking a home with an experienced dog owner and someone who is home more than they're away. Maverick is incredibly shy and cautious about people. He is also a known resource guarder who will snap if he is surprised. Given this, he needs a very experienced owner where there are no children in the home.
What is my personality like: Maverick is a quiet boy for an 18 month old labradoodle. He enjoys going on walks, but is never interested in being far from his people. Maverick is slow to trust. When he trusts you, he trusts you completely. But earning this level of trust takes a while. Maverick is very cautious about new people. He is not a dog that a stranger can walk up to and pet. He is also unpredictable with children.
We believe that Maverick has a lot of positive personality to show. He is working on overcoming his fears, but it is a process. Maverick needs a very patient and experienced owner who will work with him. He also needs a home where there are few visitors and where he can live an active lifestyle.
How do I act when I first meet new people: Very timid. Maverick is working on building confidence, but is very shy when he meets new people.
Tips and Tidbits: Maverick can be a great dog in the right home. He needs a patient, experienced owner who will give him a chance.

A thriller about the banking industry? You’d be forgiven for assuming it would be dull and full of tedious exposition, but with minor reservations you’d be wrong. Clive Owen plays an Interpol agent trying to track down the truth about a giant bank’s involvement in weapon sales, money laundering and other illegal activity. He is assisted or thwarted by various individuals and organisations along the way including an American DEA, Italian police and the bank itself.
The International is long but engaging and although I wouldn’t describe it as always gripping, it does demand your attention and keep you hooked through to the end. Not least as a result of excellent performances from Owen and the cast around him. I was particularly engaged by Armin Mueller-Stahl’s presence on screen, understated and calm yet totally real.
The story has a few holes and you have to wonder why it takes the police so long to arrive to a gun fight in a major public place in New York, but there’s nothing there that ruined the experience for me. I do wish more movies took more time to avoid the little niggles like this, but I wonder if any film actually manages to achieve that. The cinematography was subtle but really supported the cast and dialog. There aren’t many action set pieces so it wouldn’t be true to call this an action-thriller but the one major set piece is certainly thrilling. The writers opted to avoid any twists and instead build tension through Owen’s growing frustration at the cases progression and the threat on the lives of those around him. I give them credit for that.
The end is downbeat, but rather expected and the newspaper headline snapshots during the closing credits do justice in wrapping up a couple of questions the main ending left you with. Overall this was a surprisingly enjoyable film which probably deserved more credit than it got from the critics.

After interviewing the owner, Thomas Smit, Varun settles into the amazing Tower Suite. On the ground floor, it’s a living room, level one offers the bathroom and the ‘penthouse’ is the bedroom which boasts 360 degree views of Prague.
Back on ground level, Varun receives a guided tour of the city in a vintage car.
He then heads back to The Augustine and visits the working monastery – St Augustine Chapel – next door. The Abbott gives Varun a guided tour of the church and shows him the library which contains rare and ancient books. He allows Varun to handle some of the books which is an honour indeed.
Varun then drives out to Kutna Hura – home to the St Barbara Cathedral – one of the greatest manmade structures on earth.
Back at The Augustine, Varun heads into the kitchens to learn how to make a local boar dish – washed down with a local wine of course!
Staying with alcohol, Varun is driven to the U Fleku – the oldest brewery in Prague. Here he leads about the beer-making process before downing a litre in record time – yes, really!
The Czech Museum of Music is Varun’s next stop where he looks at the instruments that have made Czech musicians and composers so famous.
In the evening, he finally heads to the Folklore Gardens where he dances with pretty young maidens and drinks more beer.

After all of the stewing over whether or not Casey Affleck’s film of Joaquin Phoenix’s unraveling, “I’m Still Here,” is real or just an elaborate joke, Affleck has finally admitted that it is, in fact, a performance.
“It’s a terrific performance, it’s the performance of his career,” Affleck told The New York Times, referring to Phoenix’s oddball behavior, like that bizarre interview on “Late Show with David Letterman” in February, 2009. He was performing then, too, Affleck confirms.
Affleck added that when Phoenix appears on “Letterman” on September 22, he won’t be in character.

We get great mileage out of Halloween in school.
it is a great motivator for learning.
and two in Irish on the theme of Halloween.
EAL; Halloween Fun: ‘We made masks out of brown paper bags’.
Today Teacher had some very unusual students.
They might look a little scary, but luckily they were very friendly.
Animoto has a great Halloween template for making slideshows.
They have a selection of Halloween songs too.
We learned a lot of songs and poems about Halloween.
Who is oh so quiet . . . BOO!
And in the dark, dark box there was a….witch!
And perched on top ……a bat.
to make some horrid smells.
And great slime from the drains.
Do you still want to be a wizard?

This was a heating system that had been working inefficiently and wasting heat due to the boiler being connected on to an old badly designed heating system causing most radiators not to heat up.
The customer had young children and as the whole central heating system needed replaced along with an old corroded boiler this meant that the heating and hot water was off for a full 3 days, we provided portable heaters to make it a bit more comfortable them .
We replaced the boiler with a worcester-bosch combi boiler with an extended guarantee due to the fact that we are worcester-bosch accredited installers, and repiped the whole central heating system, working over a weekend to help the family out .

We love the intense, metallic gold ink and the broad nib of this uni-ball pen. It has a reliable and smooth flow of ink as you write and won't suddenly stop halfway through a word. The gold ink catches the light beautifully and is very effective on black card or paper. Great for writing gift tags for special birthday or Christmas cards.

Well my game crashes to the desktop every time I pass an area in the single player campaign in Battlefield 4. So after fixing all the SLI bugs (flashing textures and smoke, low fps, lagging camera movement) I now can not continue to play the game. I have tried with multiple drivers and SLI and non-SLI but no difference. Hallelujah!

Even though fresh water is fairly plentiful in our area of Indiana, the cost of obtaining potable water continues to rise. In the landscape, you can save water without drastic measures such as the complete removal of turf. Often it’s a matter of selecting the correct grass species and embarqing on an efficient watering and feeding schedule. Landscape professionals can be a big help in improving efficient use of water in the landscape. Installing drip irrigation and water monitoring valves that shut off the water in case of a leak are just a couple of suggestions to pursue with your landscape professional.
Another issue that can be addressed to improve and preserve water quality in our area is storm water control. Plymouth has a good storm water control program that includes erosion control and detention. That portion of it is well thought out and practical. They have an additional provision that includes storm water retention. Their ordinance requires the retention of a 10 year storm event with volume for detention of the 100 year storm on top of the retention volume. Their goals of recharging the local aquifer is laudable, but is probably unrealistic for our area. In my opinion, they are addressing an issue that is not there and they are creating problems with the standing water such as mosquito breeding areas, undesirable habitats for wildlife and an attractive nuisances for children. Culver has storm water control language in their ordinance, but unfortunately it is too vague and it is difficult to administer. I am currently working on revisions that may help with this. I hope to try some innovative solutions on the Sand Hill Farm project.
Do your research before you decide to explore water conservation in and around your home. This is another area where Greenwashing is a problem. Make sure you are investing in solutions that are workable and real.

New Philharmonic is the professional orchestra that performs at the College of DuPage’s McAninch Arts Center (MAC) in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. New Philharmonic is DuPage County’s only professional orchestra, and is made up of between 55 and 85 professional musicians, depending of the repertoire of each concert. Each concert season consists of 4 programs, plus a New Year’s Eve program and a full-production Nutcracker in December, showcasing Von Heidecke’s Chicago Festival Ballet.
Forty years ago, the College of DuPage (COD) embarked on the bold and visionary experiment of sponsoring professional level organizations in the performing arts. Under the artistic direction of Harold Bauer, New Philharmonic and DuPage Opera Theatre were formed. In subsequent years, the COD expanded its sponsorship to include New Classic Singers, Buffalo Theatre Ensemble and Arts Center Jazz Ensemble, bringing professional quality arts to audiences at the MAC.
Since its first concert in November 1977, when an orchestra of 24 professional musicians performed for a capacity audience of 330 in the Building M “open space” on the west campus, New Philharmonic has grown and thrived. Today, under the direction of Music Director and Conductor Kirk Muspratt, and thanks to the continued support of the COD, the orchestra performs for 1,200 – 1,500 people per concert pair in the beautifully renovated Belushi Performance Hall at the MAC. The COD provides substantial in-kind support, with funding coming from ticket sales, corporate and individual donations, grants, the Illinois Arts Council, DuPage Community Foundation, JCS Fund, College of DuPage Foundation, and from the college’s Student Activities Fund.

LEAF continues to work with the City of Boston’s Office of Economic Development, where it is matched to businesses with needs through the On-Site Technical Assistance Program. Boston is also creating initiatives to support local worker cooperatives. One example was a workshop hosted on 5/31 by the City, LEAF, the ICA Group, and BCCO to provide information on employee ownership. Since executing the contract in March, LEAF is working with five small businesses through the program.
Foreign countries have had success with large cooperative movements. Example: Mondragon, a federation of cooperatives in Spain intended to build cooperative communities in disadvantaged areas, now employs nearly 75000 workers across 240 companies in the fields of finance, industry, retail, and knowledge.
5 of Boston’s 15 cooperatives have been operating for more than 30 years, which speaks to the longevity of cooperatives.
50% of businesses in MA employing between 10 and 100 workers are majority owned by people older than 55. When these owners seek to retire in the near future without a succession plan, their employees’ jobs are jeopardized. Continuity is built into the structure of a worker cooperative.
Full democracy often brings logistical issues. Thus most cooperatives still have a traditional management structure, except that the workers select the board of directors which oversees the management. This creates an accountability loop, preserving the workers’ interests.
It’s difficult to find outside management with industry experience, management experience, and the will to operate under a democratic system. This means cooperatives should focus on developing management talent from within.
Stay tuned for more public events by following LEAF on social media.

The present invention is directed to managing a large distributed computer enterprise environment and, more particularly, to implementing a monitoring task across distributed computing resources in the environment.
Enterprises now desire to place all of their computing resources on a computer network. To this end, it is known to connect computers in a large, geographically-dispersed network environment and to manage such an environment in a distributed manner. One such management framework consists of a server that manages a number of nodes, each of which has a local object database that stores object data specific to the local node. Each managed node typically includes a management framework, comprising a number of management routines, that is capable of a relatively large number (e.g., hundreds) of simultaneous network connections to remote machines. The framework manages hundreds of megabytes of local storage and can spawn many dozens of simultaneous processes to handle method requests from local or remote users. This amount of power, however, is quite costly. Each managed node requires upwards of a megabyte of local memory of disk plus a permanent TCP/IP connection. If a managed node sees heavy use, then such costs go up considerably. Moreover, as the number of managed nodes increases, the system maintenance problems also increase, as do the odds of a machine failure or other fault.
The problem is exacerbated in a typical enterprise as the node number rises. Of these nodes, only a small percentage are file servers, name servers, database servers, or anything but end-of-wire or "endpoint" machines. The majority of the network machines are simple personal computers ("PC's") or workstations that see little management activity during a normal day. Nevertheless, the management routines on these machines are constantly poised, ready to handle dozens of simultaneous method invocations from dozens of widespread locations, invocations that rarely occur.
When networks get very large, individual machines tend to lose their identity. Nevertheless, machines of certain classes share certain problems. To manage such distributed systems, it has been proposed to "abstract" a given "resource" in the distributed network into a so-called "model" to facilitate administration. Examples of distributed system resources include computer and communications hardware, operating system software, application programs, systems of programs cooperating to provide a service, and the like. Managing resource models (as opposed to specific resources) provides significant advantages. Thus, for example, by enabling an administrator to characterize the type or class of machine that should receive a particular task, resource model-based management obviates naming a vast host of machines explicitly or the distribution of tasks to all machines within a domain.
Although resource model-based management is desirable, existing schemes generally function by modeling resources at an individual node level. In many distributed environments, a given resource has an operating state that may be dependent on many other computing elements that are distributed across nodes throughout the enterprise. It would thus be desirable to provide a resource model-based management scheme that operates across distributed nodes. The present invention addresses this need in the art.
It is a primary object of the present invention to monitor resources in a computer environment using a distributed set of monitoring "cells", preferably implemented via provisioned software agents. A set of monitoring cells comprise a distributed monitor sometimes referred to herein as a "cellular automaton." A given cell is preferably designed to reflect the actual properties of the real resource "modeled" by the cell. Depending on the complexity of the resource, a given cell may "observe" other cells or it may be observed by another cell. The observer-observed relationship in the distributed cellular automaton thus preferably corresponds to the relationships between resources at different levels of conceptual complexity. As a concrete example, a cell representing a database server resource is an observer of cells representing disk drives, operating systems, and application processes. Thus, the database server may be construed as a "master" resource comprising a set of computing resources (e.g., disk drives, operating system and application processes) whose individual states may impact the state of the master resource.
Thus, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a given master resource having a set of computing resources is monitored in a distributed manner. The method begins by associating a set of one or more monitoring "cells" with a set of given computing resources that comprise the master resource. Each cell is associated with a respective one of the set of given computing resources and has a set of one or more attributes whose values collectively define a state of the cell. A given cell attribute value is preferably a function of zero or more simple constants, a primitive operation, other attributes of the cell (intra-cell attributes), or attributes of one or more other cells (inter-cell attributes). When a given cell attribute value is a function of other cell attributes, that value should be dynamically updated as a result of changes in the intra-cell and/or inter-cell attributes on which it depends. Thus, according to the invention, upon change of a given attribute of a given cell that effects a change in cell state, the method propagates the attribute change across each cell directly impacted by the cell state change. Thereafter, resulting cell state changes are then propagated across any other affected cells. Thus, the inventive method propagates changes in the attributes of any cell to all observers of that cell.
In accordance with the invention, a monitoring cell is preferably a software agent for implementing a resource monitoring task in conjunction with other software agents. In a preferred implementation, the software agent is a set of instructions that is executed in a separate runtime engine that is dispatched and provisioned at the particular node on which the resource is located. Instances of the runtime engine are deployed where each monitoring cell is implemented to create a distributed runtime environment in the distributed computer network.
Thus, in accordance with another feature of the present invention, a method of resource monitoring in a distributed computer network begins by deploying instances of a runtime engine across a subset of the machines to create a distributed runtime environment in the network. Then, a set of one or more monitoring agents are associated with the subset of the machines. Each monitoring agent is a cell of a distributed cellular monitor or "automaton". Each cell is associated with a respective one of a set of given computing resources and has a set of one or more attributes whose values collectively define a state of the agent or cell. The automaton includes a control means, effective upon change of a given attribute of a given cell that effects a change in cell state, for propagating the attribute change across each cell directly or indirectly impacted by the cell state change.
FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a hierarchy of monitoring cells that model a master resource and its associated computing element resources in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the invention is preferably implemented in a large distributed computer environment 10 comprising up to thousands of "nodes." The nodes will typically be geographically dispersed and the overall environment is "managed" in a distributed manner. Preferably, the managed environment (ME) is logically broken down into a series of loosely-connected managed regions (MR) 12, each with its own management server 14 for managing local resources with the MR. The network typically will include other servers (not shown) for carrying out other distributed network functions. These include name servers, security servers, file servers, threads servers, time servers and the like. Multiple servers 14 coordinate activities across the enterprise and permit remote site management and operation. Each server 14 serves a number of gateway machines 16, each of which in turn support a plurality of endpoints 18. The server 14 coordinates all activity within the MR using a terminal node manager 20.
Referring now to FIG. 2, each gateway machine 16 runs a server component 22 of a system management framework. The server component 22 is a multi-threaded runtime process that comprises several components: an object request broker or "ORB" 21, an authorization service 23, object location service 25 and basic object adaptor or "BOA" 27. Server component 22 also includes an object library 29. Preferably, the ORB 21 runs continuously, separate from the operating system, and it communicates with both server and client processes through separate stubs and skeletons via an interprocess communication (IPC) facility 19. In particular, a secure remote procedure call (RPC) is used to invoke operations on remote objects. Gateway machine 16 also includes an operating system 15 and a threads mechanism 17.
The system management framework includes a client component 24 supported on each of the endpoint machines 18. The client component 24 is a low cost, low maintenance application suite that is preferably "dataless" in the sense that system management data is not cached or stored there in a persistent manner. Implementation of the management framework in this "client-server" manner has significant advantages over the prior art, and it facilitates the connectivity of personal computers into the managed environment. Using an object-oriented approach, the system management framework facilitates execution of system management tasks required to manage the resources in the MR. Such tasks are quite varied and include, without limitation, file and data distribution, network usage monitoring, user management, printer or other resource configuration management, and the like.
As noted above, there are one or more gateways per managed region. Preferably, a gateway is a fully-managed node that has been configured to operate as a gateway. Initially, a gateway "knows" nothing about endpoints. As endpoints login, the gateway builds an endpoint list for its endpoints. The gateway's duties preferably include: listening for endpoint login requests, listening for endpoint update requests, and (its main task) acting as a gateway for method invocations on endpoints.
Preferably, the server and each of the gateways is a computer or "machine." For example, each computer may be a RISC System/6000® (a reduced instruction set or so-called RISC-based workstation) running the AIX (Advanced Interactive Executive) operating system, preferably Version 3.2.5 or greater. Suitable alternative machines include: an IBM-compatible PC x86 or higher running Novell UnixWare 2.0, an AT&T 3000 series running AT&T UNIX SVR4 MP-RAS Release 2.02 or greater, Data General AViiON series running DG/UX version 5.4R3.00 or greater, an HP9000/700 and 800 series running HP/UX 9.00 through HP/UX 9.05. Motorola 88K series running SVR4 version R40V4.2, a Sun SPARC series running Solaris 2.3 or 2.4, or a Sun SPARC series running SunOS 4.1.2 or 4.1.3. Of course, other machines and/or operating systems may be used as well for the gateway and server machines.
Preferably, the client-class framework running on each endpoint is a low-maintenance, low-cost framework that is ready to do management tasks but consumes few machine resources (because it is normally in an idle state) . Each endpoint may be "dataless" in the sense that system management data is not stored therein before or after a particular system management task is implemented or carried out.
As distributed systems such as described above grow in size and complexity, management becomes more difficult. To facilitate system management, it is known in the art to provide certain of the managed machines with a uniform "engine" that executes one or more tasks (e.g., software "agents") that have been and/or distributed by a central mechanism. This architecture is illustrated in FIG. 4.
In this embodiment, a set of "software agents" 37 are available at a central location (e.g., manager 14) or at a plurality of locations (e.g., the gateways 16) in the network where administrative, configuration or other management tasks are specified, configured and/or deployed. The software agents are "mobile" in the sense that the agents are dispatched from a dispatch mechanism 35 and then migrate throughout the network environment. Generally, as will be seen, the mobile software agents traverse the network to perform or to facilitate various network and system management tasks. A mobile software agent may be used for resource monitoring, as will be described below. Dispatch mechanism 35 may include a set of configurable software tasks 39 from which one or more agents are constructed. Manager 14 preferably also includes a database 43 including information identifying a list of all machines in the distributed computing environment that are designed to be managed.
At least some of the gateway nodes 16 and at least some of the terminal nodes 18 (or some defined subset thereof) include a runtime environment 41 that has been downloaded to the particular node via a distribution service. The runtime environment 41 includes a runtime engine (as well as other components) for a software monitoring agent as will be described. Software agents are deployable within the network to perform or to facilitate a particular monitoring or other task (e.g., administration, configuration or other management task) specified by an administrator or other system entity. Preferably, the software agent is a piece of code executed by the runtime engine located at a receiving node. Alternatively, the software agent runs as a standalone application using local resources.
In a representative embodiment, both the runtime engine and the software agent(s) are conveniently written in Java. As is known in the art, Java is an object-oriented, multi-threaded, portable, platform-independent, secure programming environment used to develop, test and maintain software programs. These programs include full-featured interactive, standalone applications, as well as smaller programs, known as applets, that run in a Java-enabled Web browser.
In one particular embodiment of the present invention, a software agent is a Java applet (e.g., comprised of a set of Java "class" files) and the runtime environment includes a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) associated with a Web browser. In this illustrative example, various nodes of the network are part of the Internet, an intranet, or some other computer network or portion thereof. When the administrator configures a task for deployment, the dispatch mechanism compiles the appropriate Java class files (preferably based on the task or some characteristic thereof) and dispatches the applet (as the software agent) in the network. An applet is then executed on the JVM located at a receiving node.
In a large network of computing machinery as illustrated above, a variety of things at different levels of conceptual complexity may be considered "resources". Thus, for example, some resources are actual hardware components of the network or the computing machinery, such as network routers or disk drives. Some resources are simply properties of the operating systems running on computers in the network, for example, a set of active applications or open files. Still other resources may be applications running on computers in the network. Finally, for management purposes, an aggregation of these types of resources may be considered a single high-level or "master" resource. Examples of such high-level resources are database management systems that include one or more server processes, client processes and their connections to a given server, file systems (such as disk drives), operating system resources, distributed computation systems that include server applications on various computers, interconnections, file and memory resources, and communication subsystems.
Distributed computing resources, in order to be used as critical components for the operation of an enterprise, must be continually monitored. According to the present invention, such monitoring is carried out in a distributed fashion by a machine sometimes referred to herein as an "cellular automaton." With reference now to FIG. 5, a "cellular automaton" as used herein is a computing mechanism 50 comprising a set of "cells" 52a-52n, where each cell 52 is uniquely identifiable among all other cells and is observable by zero or more other cells. Collectively, a set of cells, in the aggregate, are used to model a particular master resource and thus to effect a distributed monitoring task. In accordance with the invention, each cell preferably has one or more attributes 54, which are simple named items of information. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the particular value of a cell attribute is a function of zero or more simple constants 56, primitive operations 58, other attributes of the cell 60, or attributes of one or more observed cells 62. The particular "definition" of a cell attribute is an expression 64 involving those sources of information combined by algebraic operators and various algebraic, statistical, logical, or transformational functions 66. At any given point in time, the values of all attributes of a given cell are collectively referred to at the "state" of the cell.
The cell "state" thus may be expected to vary dynamically as the cell effects its monitoring function. The particular actions or events that may trigger a state change are defined by the particular cell attributes and the transform functions 66 that together define the cell state. According to the present invention, state changes within a given cell may trigger state changes in other cells as the distributed monitoring is carried out. Thus, the cellular automaton 50 includes a control mechanism 55 for propagating changes in the attributes of any cell to all observers of that cell. This process is illustrated in FIG. 6 and described in the simplified flowchart of FIG. 7.
The inventive routine begins at step 71 (in FIG. 7) by establishing a state of the observed cell 52. As noted above, the particular state of the observed cell 52 depends on the one or more cell attributes 54. At step 73, a test is performed to determine whether the state of the observed cell 52 has changed as a result of a change of a given attribute. If the outcome of the test at step 73 is negative, the routine cycles. If, however, the outcome of the test at step 73 is positive, a change of state has occurred. Thus, for example, the observed cell has monitored some event and that event has modified, updated or otherwise changed the given attribute. A test is then performed at step 75 to determine whether the cell 52 is being observed by any other cell 66 ("observer" cells). If the outcome of the test at step 75 is positive, the routine branches to step 77 to propagate the change in the given attribute to all observer cells 66. At step 79, the observer cells update their state accordingly. If the outcome of the test at step 75 is negative, or after step 79, the new attribute value of the given attribute is used to update the values of any attributes of the observed cell whose definitions are affected by the attribute. This is step 81. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a change to a cell attribute 54a may result in a change to the state of the cell 52 and, if so, that change is propagated to all observer cells 66. In turn, the new attribute value 54a of the observed cell 52 is used to update the values of any attributes 54b-n whose definitions involve the changed attribute. Although not shown in detail, it should be appreciated that a state change to a given observer cell may impact state changes in cells observing that cell.
The above-described state change propagation method continues throughout the automaton. Thus, as observer cells have their state changed, other cells that are observing the observer cells are likewise impacted. In particular, the above-described state change propagation method is carried out with respect to all cells, whether directly-connected and indirectly-affected by a given state change. The observer-observed relationships in the distributed monitor thus preferably correspond to the relationships between resources at different levels of conceptual complexity, and state changes at particular levels are propagated throughout the monitor as necessary to update cell states. Resulting state changes are in turn propagated through the automaton by the control mechanism 55 as previously described. The control mechanism is preferably implemented in each software agent. In this manner, the techniques of cell identification and state change propagation support communication across a network between separate computing machines that together comprise a given resource being monitored.
The present invention thus provides automated distributed monitoring in a large distributed computing environment. Generalizing, and with reference now to FIG. 8, a higher level cell 70 corresponding to a master resource has associated therewith one or more lower level cells 72. In a concrete example, higher level cell is a database management system that includes one or more server resources 74, client processes and their connections to the server 76, file systems 78 (e.g., disk drives) and operating system resources 80 comprising the lower level cells. A given lower level cell, for example, is assigned some low level monitoring task depending on the nature of the computing resource defined by that cell. Thus, a lower level cell associated with a file system would be assigned to monitor free disk space. An operating system resource, for example, would be assigned to monitor a number of CPU cycles consumed per unit time, etc. As monitor values change across the lower level cells, such changes get propagated automatically (e.g., as events) to the higher level cell, which includes its own monitor. This architecture advantageously creates a hierarchical buildup of derived data wherein values in the monitoring cell are dependent on values below in the hierarchy. A particular distributed monitoring agent (e.g., an agent in the lower level of the hierarchy) does not necessarily know what other cells it is affecting. Thus, monitoring agents are hooked up across nodes and look at network events in a much more global and dynamic fashion.
The primitive operations involved in determining cell attribute values are desirably operations that gather information directly from the real resources represented by cells. Thus, continuing with the above example, a cell representing a disk drive will involve primitive operations that acquire such measurements as input/output rate, unused file space, and errors accumulated.
As illustrated in FIG. 8, the distributed cellular automaton 50 can be monitored by an operator console 90 by exploiting the mechanism of cell observation. An operator console preferably is made to appear to the automaton as a cell observing ordinary cells involved in monitoring resources. As noted above, changes to those cells are then propagated to operator consoles, which preferably use visual user interface techniques to provide an operator with a dynamic view of the state of selected resources in the network. The operator console mechanism allows operators to explicitly select resources to monitor (i.e. cells to observe). The console mechanism also supports an automated policy-driven mechanism to include in the operator view any resources (i.e. any cells) that fit some predetermined criteria. Thus, an operator may use a navigation or selection tool to explicitly request that changes to the state of particular cells be reflected in the view. The operator may also establish criteria describing certain types of resources (for example, disk drive resources) such that any cells added to the system at any time will automatically be observed by the operator console.
A given monitoring cell is preferably implemented by a software agent deployed within the distributed computing enterprise as previously described. In this manner, the software agent that provides the monitoring cell functionality may be executed in a runtime engine that has been deployed at given nodes of the network where the components of the master resource being monitored reside.
One of the preferred implementations of the inventive software monitoring agent is as a set of instructions in a code module resident in the random access memory of a computer. Until required by the computer, the set of instructions may be stored in another computer memory, for example, in a hard disk drive, or in a removable memory such as an optical disk (for eventual use in a CD ROM) or floppy disk (for eventual use in a floppy disk drive), or even downloaded via the Internet.
Further, although the invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment in a specific network environment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced, with modification, in other and different network architectures with the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

When I did my initial flights using the stock rubber duck antennas and used ch16 RSSI I got my figure into single figures multiple times, but without any loss of control. It tended to jump around all the time quite erratically. I few people commented that "everyone knows that RSSI on ch16 doesn't work". Using the grapevine is an interesting way of documenting things, but I'd compared the RSSI figure from the telemetry and ch16 and they were massively different, with telemetry looking slightly less erratic and not dropping off at the drop of the hat. FrSky told me that their guys are "working on it with the Betaflight devs" which confused me as their stuff works fine on 2.4, so what's changed !?
That brings me to an interesting point that seems to confuse some. Some people are under the impression that with the Flex firmware brings higher power so further distance telemetry will be available.
This is completely false, the power level is for the transmitter only, the receiver has its set power and that's all. The transmitter will be able to control the craft from further and further away, but its reception will not improve so the telemetry will be lost at the same distance it would on 25mW because its range is governed by the receives transmission power, so with adaptive power you do in fact telemetry wise you gain absolutely nothing. So reading the RSSI straight from the Rx and putting it on the OSD is the only practical way of RSSI until the range limit is hit. Any telemetry based RSSI would be rendered useless.
It's always been that way - the 2.4GHz stuff I use has telemetry coming back and the "beeps" are only indicative of the Tx not receiving Rx signal, not the other (more important) way around.
Well I don't really see much need other than to have an analog pin available on the Rx to output RSSI, that's all that's needed.
Agreed, Telemetry based RSSI is a complete waste of time if you are going for distance. It's also hard work.
I looked at the R9MM Manual, I dont think it has a RSSI pad, I was hoping it would have one.
The R9 Slim has it on an output pin.
I think the R9mm receiver is a bit of a dog's dinner, and FrSky offered it on the cheap just to get a Combo in their Sales push.
That said, the XM Plus on 2.4G is a superb receiver....Im still wondering why the R9MM only has one antenna TBH.
This guy has appeared to pull off some kind of Black Magic...lol....Using standard non Flex Firmware and only a fixed 200 mw output, he has had this brand new bird out to 12 kms with a stable RSSI showing..?
Is the stable RSSI anything to do with Arduplane? He even has the standard RD on his TX Module.
I see OpenTX 2.2.3 has been released in the last few days. This version has the adaptive power control feature which some of you have been trialing whilst in beta. I’ve still yet to use my R9 in anger.
The adaptive power feature seems to be a key part of its failure. Not the OpenTx part of it though, just the 868 adaptive side of it.
Im inclined to agree....Im not sure why they felt the need to put all their effort directly into the adaptive power Firmware when the fixed power level Firmware was / is still hopeless on 868mhz??.
Its seems all a bit backwards to me...?...I mean 200 mw on 868mhz should get you plenty of range, but it just doesn't for most people.
Arcx Angel seems to be the exception, his R9MM doing 12 kms on 868mhz and 200 mw only proves the point, and he's using the standard RD on his TX Module.
Still flying up my own arse.
Did you resolve issue with your range?
And giving Bignose one up his..
Nope, it's clear the R9MM receiver seems to lack sensitivity....dropping into the low 40s a mere 600 metres out, hopeless.
The other elephant in the room which nobody is talking about, is that in order for Flex RF power to work, it needs a downlink as powerful as the uplink, otherwise, how is the TX Module going to know about increasing power levels...?
Okay at short ranges, but what about 10kms out?
On the Crossfire receiver it has two sleeved Dipoles for this purpose, not on the R9MM though.
Now he's always been a successful R9 user but that was only 1km out !
Do we know what receiver he was using?

If there's one big complaint that I hear from everyone in the mobile industry, it's that our devices simply don't hold a charge long enough. Qualcomm, NVIDIA and plenty of other companies are trying to address that issue by creating processors that consume less juice, but let's face it: we're asking more from our devices than ever, and the battery is going to drain as we use them more frequently.
Qualcomm's looking to address this problem on a different front, by allowing you to charge your devices up to 75% faster with its new Quick Charge 2.0 solution. Quick Charge 1.0 made its debut last year and is built into 70 devices, but it only charges them 40% faster than competitors. Quick Charge 2.0 is part of the company's Snapdragon 800 processor (but it can also be added separately at the component level) and is also part of AC/DC wall chargers.
To put the faster charge in perspective, Qualcomm said that it was able to fully charge a device in 3 hours that normally takes more than 7 hours to juice up.
"We anticipate that devices and wall chargers with Quick Charge 2.0 will be available for purchase by early 2014; all smartphones and tablets with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor will have Quick Charge 2.0. Snapdragon 800 processors are an entire system-on-a-chip and feature a CPU, GPU, DSP, LTE Modem and much more, enabling UltraHD video, high-end 3D gaming, 7.1 surround sound, and up to 55 Megapixel image captures, so being able to quick charge means less time charging and more time doing," Qualcomm said.
Sounds amazing, hopefully we can play with the technology soon.
You can't go mobile if you're stuck plugged into an outlet waiting for your smartphone or tablet to charge. Last year, over 70 devices launched withQualcomm Quick Charge 1.0, an in-device solution that enables smartphones and tablets to charge up to 40% faster. Today we're introducing the next generation.
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 resides in both the device (offered as a standalone IC solution or as part of the PMIC power management integrated circuit of Snapdragon™ 800 processors) and in the AC/DC wall charger. It's even faster and more flexible than Quick Charge 1.0, and will be inside smartphones and tablets powered by Snapdragon 800 processors.
Quick Charge 2.0 devices are designed to play nice with Quick Charge 1.0 chargers and vice versa; they're all backward and forward compatible. You can use a Quick Charge 2.0 charger with a Quick Charge 1.0 device, since by default the 2.0 charger safely provides only the voltage/power allowed by the 1.0 device. And while 2.0 devices will ship with 2.0 chargers, 2.0 devices can be charged safely by 1.0 chargers as well, but at '1.0 speed'. To get the fastest, most optimal charge, simply use a 2.0 charger with a 2.0 device. Then and only then will the 2.0 charger safely provide the higher voltage at the request of the 2.0 device.
Quick Charge 2.0 will soon be built into standard micro-USB AC/DC wall chargers, so these chargers won't look or operate differently and should be widely available. In fact, Qualcomm is already working with leading AC/DC chipset suppliers and their AC/DC power supply partners to fully enable the power supply ecosystem.
The Snapdragon processor is designed to consume very little power, so once your device is quick charged, you won't have to worry about charging for a while. Our website provides all the latest information on our upcomingSnapdragon 800 processors and about Qualcomm Quick Charge. Qualcomm Quick Charge is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

As human beings, it is a standard that we establish relationships with different kinds of people throughout our lives. Some of these relationships are going to be casual in nature; the ones that don’t really impact our lives all too much.
Some of these relationships are temporary wherein a person just enters your live to serve a specific purpose for a certain period of time. Some of these relationships are more permanent and they might be impactful or not.
There are so many kinds of relationships that a single person can have in a life. However, one thing is for sure. It’s always different when you have a strong relationship and bond with your mother.
She isn’t going to be the most perfect person you will ever meet in this life. But that shouldn’t diminish her role in your life and vice versa.
There is no other person in the world who can emulate the kind of bond and connection that you would have with your mother. These are very special relationships and that’s why you always need to cherish them as much as you possibly can.
It’s no secret that as we are growing up, we can be really ungrateful and mean towards our mothers. It might be a rite of passage that a lot of kids fall victim to going through before they get a more profound appreciation for the roles that mothers play in their lives.
You should also check Is It Safe For Mothers To Use Cellphones While Breastfeeding?
It might just come with the territory of growing old and maturing. As we are growing up, we develop a sense of independence. We realize that we don’t really need our parents anymore and as a result, we fail to give them the appreciation that they’re truly deserving of.
We grow to stop relying on them and as a result, we don’t really engage with them anymore. On the most extreme cases, people can even drift apart from their parents without ever finding their way back.
We might think that it’s all a part of the natural circle of life. We say that we are raised by our parents to prepare for adulthood. That’s why we think that when we turn into adults, we go away from our parents and fulfill whatever purpose we attribute to ourselves. You might think that that is just normal. But science actually says that abandoning your mother even at an older age is going to dramatically affect the span of her life.
Based on a study that was spearheaded by researchers from the University of California, companionship plays a very big role in determining whatever age a person might eventually pass away.
The study was called, “Loneliness in Older Persons: A Predictor of Functional Decline and Death.” The study actually followed more than 1,600 subjects with an average age of 71.
They found that those who admitted to feeling lonely in life died significantly sooner than their peers who were more socially engaged. The studies also tried to take other factors into consideration such as health and economic status but it found that loneliness was still the biggest factor and determinant.
This exhaustive study took place over the course of 6 years and nearly 23% of old people who considered themselves lonely actually passed away. This is a substantial number when compared to the 14% of seniors who passed away while being content with the happiness and social engagement that they were receiving in their lives.
This definitely not be the happiest news for you to hear but it’s very important especially if you’re interested in prolonging the life of your mother for as long as possible.
Hopefully, if you love your mother, then this article should enlighten you and encourage you to spend as much time with your mother as your schedule permits. Try to make time for your mom (or any other close family member for that matter) if you are genuinely interested in their well-being.
So, if you haven’t given your mother a phone call recently, then take this article as a sign for you to do so.

Montage of Ramparts and Plan of Dürer's fest schloß (fortified citadel), after his Etliche Underricht zu Befestigung der Stett, Schloß und Flecken (1527) [Source: Juan Luis González García, “Alberto Durero, Tratadista de Arquitectura y Urbanismo Militar”, in Alberto Durero, Tratado de Arquitectura y Urbanismo Militar (Madrid: Ediciones Akal, 2004), p. 39].
In 1527, Albrecht Dürer published his treatise on military architecture, the Etliche Underricht zu Befestigung der Stett, Schloß und Flecken ("Various Instructions in the Fortification of Cities, Castles, and Towns"). Though Dürer’s works are numerous, and though the artist’s work inspired an expanding field of interpretative work for centuries, the Etliche Underricht nevertheless remains a curious cipher, a footnote in Dürer’s work and legacy. Thus William Martin Conway, in his Literary Remains of Albrecht Dürer from 1889, claims that the Etliche Underricht “presents few matters of interest” to the student of art. Erwin Panofsky’s influential The Life and Art of Albrecht Dürer (1943) makes no mention of the Etliche Underricht. The artist fares much worse when analyzed by military historians and historians of science. Simon Pepper, in his study of military architects and aristocrats, tells us that “despite its excellent illustrations and specialist content,” Dürer’s treatise “did not evidently exercise great influence outside the German-speaking world.” Christopher Duffy, in his study of siege warfare, tells us that Dürer’s treatise “remains an isolated, North European attempt to meet the challenge of problems that were already finding more convincing solutions in Italy.” Historian of science Jãnis Langins declares that the Etliche Underricht “was more of an architectural fantasy than a practical manual for fortifiers.” The list of less-than-favorable references continues.
When considering its architectural merit, however, we can detect some initial, yet productive confusion as to the actual innovations of Dürer’s “architectural fantasy.” Hanno-Walter Kruft, for example, declares that the Etliche Underricht is the first printed treatise dealing exclusively with fortifications. Yet Dürer’s manual was not the first treatise on military architecture. A distinction must be made between print and manuscript. Thus in 1482, Francesco di Giorgio Martini circulated his own illustrated treatise on military architecture, the Trattato di Architettura, Ingegneria e Arte Militare, but only in manuscript form. The Etliche Underricht’s status as the first printed treatise devoted solely to architecture using original images also deserves some interrogation. This category is constructed carefully: though Fra Giocondo published his illustrated version of Vitruvius’ Ten Books in 1511, it useful to bear in mind how that treatise did not originally feature images. Nor was it a treatise that dealt exclusively with architecture. Alberti’s De Re Aedificatoria, though published in 1482, did not appear with illustrations until Cosimo Bartoli’s 1550 translation. The Etliche Underricht preceded the next great architecture treatise, Serlio’s Regole Generali d'Architettura by 10 years.
But when it comes to issues of architectural convention, we are on firmer ground. Mario Carpo observes how the Etliche Underricht was the first treatise to show a complete set of plans, sections, and elevations for an individual project, anticipating Bramante’s designs for the cupola at St. Peter’s by 13 years. Yet Renaissance art and architecture historian John Pinto’s study of the origins of ichnographic city plans points out parallel developments between Leonardo da Vinci’s plans for the city of Imola from 1503 and Raphael’s distinguishing between plan, section, and elevation in his letters to Leo X from 1513-1521 , stating that both of these are the foundations for a “new form of architectural drawing.” Considering that Dürer also resorts to the architectural convention of depicting projects in plan, section, and elevation, and further considering that it is unclear whether the author of the Etliche Underricht knew about da Vinci’s or Raphael’s own thoughts on orthographics , we could very well tow the line taken by our esteemed military historians – namely, that Dürer’s treatise is an isolated instance, a mere footnote in the history of architecture.
Here, however, I would like to identify possible trajectories for locating Dürer’s Etliche Underricht within a history of architecture treatises. An investigation into the architectural significance of this treatise necessarily begins with a brief foray into Dürer’s own background in architecture, the Etliche Underricht itself, as well as his exposure to existing texts on architecture. With this context firmly in place, it is then possible to continue exploring ways of articulating an architectural significance for the Etliche Underricht.
Two basic types of works constitute Dürer’s early architectural output: sketches and drawings of classical subjects, as well as annotated drawings of various design commissions in Nuremberg. Although Conway tells us that Dürer thought of architecture as an art subject to individual capriciousness, he does see value in the myriad architectural notes interspersed throughout a draft of Dürer's Four Books on Measurement – a testament to the influence of Vitruvius. One of Dürer’s notes accompanying the Four Books, for example, features a large sketch of a Corinthian capital. This sketch contains a series of regulating lines -- evidence of Dürer actively working out the proportional calculus from Vitruvius’ work. This is, however, an ultimately unsuccessful endeavor, according to Conway: “If Dürer never attained any clear grasp of the principles of perfect simplicity and perfect proportion, which were the secrets of the beauty of classical architecture, it was not for lack of willing and persistent study.” This sketch, as Conway notes, is part of a larger series of coherent, yet seemingly unconnected thoughts on architecture.
In 1525, Dürer was also commissioned to submit alternative schemes for a church roof in Nuremberg. Charged with replacing an old roof that was rotting away, Dürer’s notes and sketches show the artist replacing a high-peaked roof with a low-peaked solution – the result being a lightweight roof that could be supported by columns and minimal wood-bracing. These notes are significant for two reasons. On the one hand, they show Dürer working with an architectural plan. Along with his redesign for the roof, his plan shows an affinity towards a new spatial organization for the church with new spaces for kitchens and rooms. On the other hand, it is important to note that for this project, Dürer is asked to improve on an existing structure and issue a series of drawings detailing the modifications. Dürer would eventually realize these two impulses within the pages of the Etliche Underricht.
Dürer’s travels to Italy also provided the artist with architectural inspiration, as seen by a series of watercolors completed in the Autumn of 1494 and the Spring of 1495 (his Wanderjahre). Although some of these works -- such as these of a castle in Innsbruck -- tend to analyze the relationship between the vertical stonework and masonry and the flatness of the central square for a castle, others – like the watercolor of a castle in Val di Cembra – seem to analyze the location of a fortification in relation to its immediate landscape. Taken together, these watercolors provide a study of sorts: whereas one set considers a near-stereotomic approach, looking at the architecture of fortifications in terms of complicated layers of masonry and stonework, the other looks to the topography surrounding the subject.
After his second trip to Italy, from 1512-13, Dürer began to write his Lehrbuch der Malerei (or Speis der Malenknaben), which contained two sections of note: one called "Von mos der pew" (“On the proportion of buildings”), the other "Daz fünft ein wenig vom gepew" (“The fifth capital: a bit on construction”). This text would eventually prefigure the more well-known Underweysung from 1525 and his Vier bücher von menschlicher Proportion, published posthumously in 1528. Dürer kept his interest in depicting architectural fortifications alive even during his trip to the Low Countries in 1520-21. In one of his sketches, Dürer places the Marksburg and Stolzenfels castles together on a singular mountainscape even though they are kilometers apart. It is a random placement – a capricious intervention that also signals Dürer’s own interest in a method for the site selection of fortifications along the German landscape. All these impulses – looking at a fortification in terms of sectional and topographic complexity, and placing fortifications in previously uninhabited areas – would become central to Dürer’s Etliche Underricht.
Before Dürer began working on his architecture treatise, Eastern Europe was engaged in a slow redoubt against advancing Turkish forces. In addition to Constantinople, which fell in 1453, Belgrade succumbed to Turkish armies in 1521. During that time, an anti-Turkish alliance of sorts was undertaken, arranged through the intermarriage of various crowns and bloodlines. This explains the appearance of a woodcut depicting a modified shield of Ferdinand I on the very first page of the Etliche Underricht. The shield contains heraldry from various areas. The two large lions represent Bohemia and Hungary. The smaller shield is split into four quadrants representing conflicts between Austria and Burgundy, Aragon and Sicily, Franche-Comte and Brabante. The small shield in the middle features a conflict between Tirol and Flanders. At the bottom, we see a pendant depicting the Order of the Golden Fleece, which surrounds the coat of arms. The appearance of this shield at the beginning suggests how we can look to the creation of the Etliche Underricht as an emergency architecture commission.
During the Diet of Nuremberg, from 1522-1523, the city inaugurated a committee of specialists to provide “the most educated solutions” for defending against a possible Turkish attack. Included in this committee were two Dürer’s closest friends: Wolfgang von Rogendorf, a military advisor to the crown, and the Moravian mathematician and military architect Johann Tscherte, a close friend of Willibald Pirckheimer’s. Dürer probably began learning about the urgency of countering the Turkish threat during his travels with Tscherte around Pavia from 1494-95. And on April 15, 1524, Tscherte wrote to Dürer, asking him to finish his “Instructions for measuring” as quickly as possible. This makes 1524 the year when Dürer most likely began working on the Etliche Underricht.
Though not as lengthy as the Underweysung or the Four Books on Human Proportion, Dürer’s Etliche Underricht is a notoriously messy text. Sentences have been erased and recopied, and the manuscript sometimes makes references to images that are not there. The book, as it exists, contains four lessons on the design and siting of fortifications, and a short annex concerning the placement of cannons and heavy mortars. Yet, following Conway’s own discussion of the Etliche Underricht, I want to identify briefly 6 different types of fortifications in Dürer’s text (all shown directly above): 1.) Forts to be erected principally at the angles of town walls; 2.) A different kind of angle fort, the scarp of which does not rise above the level of the ground with a casemated gallery on its base; 3.) A square fort with slightly rounded walls; 4.) A fortification covering ground between mountains and the sea. With regards to this, Dürer writes: “If a prince had in his land a narrow, level place lying between the sea, or some large water, and a hill or lofty precipice, and if the precipice or hill were so situated that no great force could pass, and the way between the hill and the water were rather narrow and very long, he might there build a strong Block-house by which that part of the country would be closed; 5.) Fortifications to be added to a preexisting town or structure; and 6.) An ideal headquarters for a King. It is this last category – the Royal garrison – that deserves attention.
A series of concentric, rectangular bastions – all designed according to Dürer’s specifications, surround the Royal garrison. For the Royal garrison itself, Dürer creates an orthogonal plan with a central square for the residence of a King. Around the residence, Dürer articulates a fairly normalized and rigorous spatial organization. Among a network of streets 50 feet wide, some 2,000 houses, stables, a Church, a Rathaus, magazines, armory, blacksmiths, and markets. The East corner of the City even features a Church. Houses behind the Rathaus are assigned according to kinship and rank, and other buildings are also arranged according to a prescribed division of labor: shopkeepers live near provisionary stores; armorers live near stables; clergymen live near the Church, et cetera. There are even separate bathhouses for men and women. All external bastions and walls are to be constructed from heavy stone, to protect from bombardment. The interior buildings are to be made of wood and stone, according to the size and importance of the structure.
To be sure, the Royal garrison from Dürer’s Etliche Underricht merits our attention for other reasons. Conway attributes a host of innovations to Dürer’s treatise: “The use of a polygonal form for the tracé of town fortifications; the use of well ventilated and lighted casemated batteries for the defence of trenches; the use of bomb-proof magazines and shelters; and the defensive interdependence of different parts of a fortress.” Others, like Hanno-Walter Kruft, locate the Etliche Underricht within a larger discourse about utopias and other ideal cities. Though Dürer’s treatise would be the obvious successor to works by Di Giorgio and others, it certainly should be considered alongside Serlio’s work as an exemplar of the relationship between ideal city forms and the complex spatial and hierarchical organizations within. And with regards to issues of site planning, Juan Luis González García observations about Dürer’s sketches of the Marksburg and Stolzenfels castles become important here – like the Royal garrison of the Etliche Underricht, these castles are depicted as if they were randomly placed on a landscape. This undergirds the ideal nature of Dürer’s fortified city – it is architecture that can be located practically anywhere.
The only caveat -- as Dürer’s own drawings of the rounded block house show – is that in some circumstances, the particular nature of a site can place demands on the design of a fortification. Thus a block house situated between water and hills should take on a more rounded shape. For Dürer, then, the ideal city is a fortified city – the best case in point would be his 1527 woodcut Siege of a Fortress. Here, we see two cities. In the upper left, an agglomeration of unfortified buildings burn, while at the right, a fortified citadel featuring many of the innovations outlined by Dürer (rounded walls, protected casements, fortification of preexisting structures) appears relatively unscathed by the ensuing battle.
Yet in locating Dürer’s Etliche Underricht in a history of architecture treatises, some mention should be made about the degree of geometric formalism presented in the various woodcuts throughout the text. The drawings share an obvious affinity with many of the drawings from his Underweysung. Dürer’s very first lesson in the Etliche Underricht shows the adding of a circular rampart to a preexisting cornered city wall as a series of geometric iterations. Lines and arcs are measured and drawn according to a specific set of directions. Mario Carpo, in his Architecture in the Age of Printing, suggests that “Gothic architecture theory … privileged the control and the (often secretive) transmission of abstract geometric schemes.” Although there was nothing secret about Dürer’s geometries in the Etliche Underricht (a Latin translation appeared in 1535, and successive French and German editions appeared in 1603, 1823, 1840, and 1870), is it possible to claim that the treatise owes more to Gothic than to contemporary exemplars?
As is well known, Dürer had a personal, annotated copy of a 1505 edition of Euclid’s Elementorum (purchased during his second trip to Venice). But equally important is the fact that Dürer also had access to Willibald Pirckheimer’s personal library. There, Dürer would have encountered texts such as a 1498 edition of Polybius’ Historiae, a German translation of Flavius Vegetius' De Re Militari from 1474, as well as a 1521 edition of Niccolo Machiavelli’s Dell’arte della Guerra. But more importantly, the author had access to two vital texts: a 1512 edition of Alberti’s De re Aedificatoria, and a 1504 edition of Vitruvius’ Ten Books (this is not the illustrated version from 1512).
Kruft suggests that a likely inspiration for Dürer’s design of the Royal garrison is the 1524 Nuremberg map of Tenochtitlan, the seat of the Aztec empire. This was probably known to Dürer - a similar central square gridding also appears in Dürer’s treatise. But a closer glance at the text and woodcut images from the Etliche Underricht shows a decided Vitruvian influence. One case in point comes at the moment when Dürer describes the construction and siting of the Royal garrison. He writes: “The [fortified citadel] is to be built in the form of a square, each side of which shall have as much as 3400 feet of length. The site of the Castle is to be so chosen that the four strongest winds shall spend their forces against its angles.” Vitruvius, in the first book of his De Architectura, suggests an ideal, radial city plan that allows for orientation according to various winds. Yet in classical antiquity, the Vitruvian method was used to determine four cardinal points that were not only in relation to the wind, but that also facilitated the creation of orthogonal street grids. A look at the plan of Dürer’s Royal garrison not only shows the four cardinal points that create the building’s four corners, but also confirms how this set the stage for the creation of a gridded urban fabric within.
Dürer only makes a passing, cryptic reference to Vitruvius in the text of the Etliche Underricht. He writes of the Royal garrison: “The interior of the [fortified citadel] is to be thus arranged. In the midst is the Palace of the King, established on a site eight hundred feet square, and no corner is to be cut off from it. Vitruvius, the old Roman, plainly describes how such a royal palace should be built.” When we look at the center of the garrison, however, there is a blank space, a hole in the fabric. It is fitting that Dürer implores his reader to conjure a Vitruvian design for a royal residence – it is, in a sense, an ideal center for an ideal city.
This post has only begun to offer some possible directions for locating Dürer’s Etliche Underricht within a history of architecture treatises. Although its influence as a theoretical text remains to be analyzed, we know for certain that Dürer’s treatise inspired a so-called “German” type of fortification design. We also know that the Etliche Underricht inspired fortification designs in Nuremberg and Strasbourg. Despite the extent of the treatise’s influence, and despite the fact that few critical studies exist concerning this, as Dürer’s only text on architecture, the Etliche Underricht stands as a compelling, penultimate contribution to a vast body of work. Is it, as Pamela O. Long has described in her study of the Vitruvian Renaissance, evidence of Dürer’s “developed sense of his own originality and ownership”? At the very least, I have only begun to demonstrate how we can begin to understand the Etliche Underricht as a Vitruvian text.
Authors Note: Translations from German and Spanish are mine. Images come from the Spanish translation of Dürer's Etliche Underricht: Alberto Durero, Tratado de Arquitectura y Urbanismo Militar (Madrid: Ediciones Akal, 2004). Although there are countless texts on Dürer, Erwin Panofsky's The Life and Art of Albrech Dürer (Princeton University Press, 1943) and Giulia Bartum, Albrecht Dürer and His Legacy: The Graphic Work of a Renaissance Artist (Princeton, 2003) are standards.

Brett Weiss: Words of Wonder: Classic Home Video Games Vol. 2 Update!
I put the manuscript for Classic Home Video Games Vol. 2 in the mail on Tuesday, which means the book should be out sometime in late 2009, maybe as early as the fall.
My kids helped me celebrate the occasion.
The book includes descriptions/reviews of every U.S.-released game for the Atari 7800(updated/revised/expanded from Vol. 1), the NES, and the Sega Master System. The entries are longer than those in Vol. 1, with most falling between 125-185 words. When possible, I compared the games to their arcade, computer, and other-console counterparts, and plenty of historical data is included as well.
The book also includes an introduction by Bill "The Game Doctor" Kunkel, which I'm really excited about. As a teenager, I eagerly devoured every issue of Electronic Games Magazine, which Bill co-founded, and I'm honored that he wrote the intro.
One of the pleasures of writing the book was discovering certain titles that I had never played before, such as the surprisingly enjoyable The Ninja for the Master System and the delightful Kiwi Kraze for the NES. And it was fun to revisit old favorites, such as Contra, Mario Bros., and Popeye. And of, course, there were drawbacks as well, such as trudging through such dreck as Hydlide and Wolverine for the NES and the "great" series of sports titles for the Master System.
As soon as I get more info (release date, cover scan, etc.,), I'll post it here.
Thanks to those of you who purchased Vol. 1, helping make a second volume possible.
...which Santa was kind enough to put under (make that beside) the Christmas tree.

A rare surviving Florence Lawrence film concerns a country doctor and his family. When both his daughter and an impoverished neighbor fall ill at the same time, which one will he save? Lawrence is the doctor’s wife. All the melodrama you can stuff into 14 minutes!
Florence Lawrence is one of those movie stars who is more famous now on the printed page than on the silver screen. As with many nickelodeon era stars, her films have a comparatively low survival rate and many of the ones that survive are locked away in vaults.
Considered by many to be the first movie star, Lawrence committed suicide at the age of 52. Her tragic death and career troubles are recounted in any good book on the early film industry but what was Lawrence like as an actress? How do her performances hold up?
Lawrence’s natural beauty is obvious even at a distance.
Fortunately, we can find out. The 1909 Biograph short film, The Country Doctor, was released on DVD and Florence Lawrence played a pivotal role in this Connecticut-based tragedy. D.W. Griffith directs, Billy Bitzer works his magic with the camera and the supporting cast includes Mary Pickford and Griffith’s go-to mom, Kate Bruce.
The story is simple. Dr. Harcourt (Frank Powell) lives a halcyon life with his wife (Florence Lawrence) and young daughter (Gladys Egan). Tragedy strikes, however, and the young girl falls ill (apparently stricken with diphtheria). At the same time, the daughter (Adele DeGarde) of a poor family (Kate Bruce and Mary Pickford) suffering from the same deadly illness. The poor women summon the doctor to help. Will he leave his own child, risking her life, or will he stay with his family and abandon his duty as a physician?
Kate Bruce and Mary Pickford as the poor neighbors.
Since the film is only one reel long, I will go ahead and spoil it. The doctor goes to the poor family and saves the girl but his own daughter dies while he is away. (Couldn’t he have had the poor child carried to his home, where he could tend to both girls? They clearly have the same illness. I hate to ruin the fable but is he ever bad at triage!) The doctor and his wife mourn their only child as the camera pans away to the beautiful countryside, an echo of the film’s opening shot.
Let’s take a moment to talk about those scenery shots.
The Country Doctor is a simple, two set tale. However, the decision to add a small prologue of the doctor’s happy family frolicking in wheat fields and flowering meadows does a great deal to set the stage and open up what could have been a very claustrophobic story. Griffith was always at his best, in my opinion, when he made tales of the countryside. This film bears out my theory, I think. Billy Bitzer’s camera drinks in the Connecticut scenery and you can practically smell the warm summer air.
But now for the main attraction. How is Miss Lawrence?
I think her performance is divided into two distinct sections. First, her happy scenes with her husband and daughter and, second, her scenes of worry and tragedy. The happy scenes display her to best advantage. She has a very warm, friendly screen presence and her appeal to audiences is obvious.
The second, more serious section of the film has not aged quite as well. Lawrence flails her arms and throws herself across her dead daughter’s bed. However, I must emphasize that stage acting was still considered to be the way to act. It was not uncommon for actors to be performing to the audience at the back of the theater. So, while the style that Lawrence is using is outdated today, one can see that she is performing it well. After all, her daughter has died and the filmgoing public of 1909 would have expected her to have an emotional crescendo at this point.
We must also remember that during this period of movie making, closeups were simply not used as often as they are today. That meant that performers had to project their emotions without the help of any fancy camera work. Florence Lawrence does a beautiful job of pantomime (especially in the more modern opening scenes). Furthermore, she was blessed with strong features that were easy to recognize even in medium and long-shots.
Florence Lawrence’s astonishing popularity did not survive the ‘teens. She was injured in while filming a fiery stunt (the exact details are obscure) and subsequent comeback attempts were unsuccessful.
We are fortunate that this film has survived in beautiful condition. (Many available Lawrence titles are in pretty rough shape.) No matter how well-written the book, it is impossible to capture the spark of life that was the secret to Lawrence’s appeal. Do yourself a favor and seek out The Country Doctor.
The Country Doctor was released on DVD in the box set More Treasures from American Film Archives .

Classical music: Gian Carlo Menotti’s centennial is the time to ask — How great was he as a composer?
Last Thursday marked the 100th birthday of the composer Gian Carlo Menotti (below).
But his reputation continues to rest primarily on his work as a pioneer in bringing opera to television and radio and in creating a certain kind of populist operas — such as the evergreen Christmas opera “Amahl and the Night Visitors” — that I also like because it wasn’t five hours long.
But how good – or great — a composer is Menotti? And how great and serious is he and work now and will he be seen as in the future?
Those are questions that a recent segment on NPR did fine job of exploring.
What do think of Menotti’s music?
Do you have a favorite Menotti work and why?
Do you think Menotti is a great composer?

Earthquake early warning (EEW) detects and measures earthquakes fast enough that warning can be given before the strongest shaking arrives, providing seconds to minutes to prepare.
Earthquake early warning is being implemented in many locations around the world. The 2011 Tohuku Earthquake demonstrated some of its advantages. The earthquake was recognized as serious within 30 seconds of its initiation offshore. Tokyo residents had ~30 seconds warning of approaching strong ground motion. Cell phone alarms warned millions of people when large aftershocks were likely to soon rattle them.
On the west coast of the the US, with USGS funding, Cal Tech and UC Berkeley have developed and are testing an early prototype EEW system known as ShakeAlert in California. In November, 2012, the Moore Foundation announced awarded grants to Cal Tech, UC Berkeley, and the University of Washington to develop and begin testing this prototype system. The USGS will help coordinate these activities.
On Monday morning (April 10) the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) was buzzing with activity, but not seismic activity. Network employees were sporting PNSN t-shirts and there were numerous outside officials wearing splashes of University of Washington purple. Reporters from The Seattle Times, KIRO News, the UW Office of News and Information, and more where crowded into the small lab room, surrounded by recording equipment. The lab room itself, with its old school, drum seismograms, was accessorized with extra monitors, a podium, and a clean, purple tablecloth covering the long table, normally cluttered with various earthquake demonstrations.
What was the occasion? The Seismic Network hosted a press conference to announce the rollout of a new version of the earthquake early warning (EEW) system, ShakeAlert, which is now fully integrated across the entire West Coast of the United States. Speakers included the Dean of the UW College of the Environment, Lisa Graumlich, Dave Applegate and Doug Given from the United States Geological Survey, U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer, Washington State Seismologist, John Vidale, Maximilian Dixon from the Washington State Emergency Management Division, and Dan Ervin, chair of RH2 Engineering.

Previously the EEW system in the Pacific Northwest was detecting earthquakes and issuing warnings to a beta test group, but the warnings were not being utilized. Now, while the system is not yet ready to send alerts to the public, warnings issued to pilot users will be used to test earthquake response systems. Users include RH2 Engineering in Bothell, WA, which will use the alerts to secure municipal water and sewer systems, and the Eugene Water and Electricity Board in Oregon, where alerts will be used to lower canal water levels above a residential area and turn off turbines at a power plant.
While the release of the updated system marks a large step forward for West Coast earthquake early warning, there is still more work to be done to allow the system to reach its full potential. Both Applegate and Given emphasized that the system only has about half the funding needed in terms of annual support. The development of the system has so far been funded by a combination of public and private grants, including support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Amazon Catalyst, and Puget Sound Energy.
“Federal investment in science matters,” said representative Derek Kilmer.
Kilmer believes that Monday’s press conference highlights the value of the EEW system. He hopes that Congress will realize the benefits of having an EEW system across the West Coast and respond. Additional funding will go towards installing new earthquake-recording stations, improving telecommunications between stations and network computers, continued testing of the system, and hiring new staff.
Currently, the system only includes 700 of the 1700 stations needed to cover all the hazards and populations on the West Coast. While the EEW system can move forward with the existing stations, earthquakes in some places, for example parts of Eastern Washington, will be detected less quickly than with the full station set or not at all. Unfortunately, installing new stations is not like “planting flowers” reported Given. Not only do new stations cost money, getting permits to put stations on private, state, and federally owned land is time consuming.
Another critical component needed to expand the system to be able to issue public alerts is education. Receiving a warning on your cellphone is not useful unless you know what the alert means and how to respond. While there is no funding for education yet, reported Dixon, the ultimate goal of EEW education is for the public to be able to react to warnings with a practiced, automatic response.
Despite the fact that a fully-fledged West Coast EEW system still requires more time, work, and funding, all the press conference speakers emphasized the utility of having earthquake warnings.
“(The earthquake risk on the West Coast) cannot be overstated,” stressed Given.
The EEW system will save lives, preserve infrastructure, and mitigate the loss of productivity post-quake. The release of the West Coast integrated system marks a milestone in earthquake preparedness.
Less destructive P waves travel faster than the more destructive S waves, and so will arrive first at any given location.
A dense seismic station network near the earthquake source can quickly detect seismic waves well before the more significant shaking will arrive at more distant population centers.
Data transmission to PNSN, processing at PNSN, and distribution to the end user is very fast relative to seismic travel times.
The amount of warning time increases rapidly with one's distance from the epicenter, and there will be a minimum distance from the hypocenter of the earthquake within which early warning is not possible.
For specifics see USGS Fact Sheet 2014-3083.
A study prepared by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) in the state of California explored the anticipated value of an earthquake early warning system through a series of interviews with organizations representing important sectors of the state's infrastructure and economy. The interviews focused on potential uses of EEW and perceived benefits to the public as well as their own empoyees and businesses.
The capital cost to construct and launch a California EEW system is estimated to be $28 million, and the personnel and operating expenses are estimated at $17 million annually.
It was unanimously perceived that the overall societal benefits of a statewide EEW system is very high - a few seconds of advance warning could possibly help millions to Drop, Cover, and Hold On before heavy shaking begins, as well as increase public preparedness for earthquakes and reduce anxiety.
Access and concrete use of an EEW system by different sectors of the state's infrastructure and economy could reduce organizational and economic disruptions, benefitting customers and communities by providing essential services related to safety, loss avoidance, and resumption of normal life.
System reliability, design and development of delivery mechanisms, overcoming IT security and software issues, and appropriate training or edcuation of personnel must all be addressed before sectors can make full use of EEW.
Obtaining secure and consistent funding, providing equal access for both organizations and society as a whole, a realistic timeframe for implementing EEW, establishing practical and appropriate methods of delivery, and public earthquake education and awareness must all be considered.
Furthur study and technologic development is essential for launching a statewide EEW system in California and incorporating global standards.
UW's specific research objective is to develop the capability of issuing an alert tens of seconds after the onset of a large Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. The PNSN has hosted past workshops and will host another workshop in September 2016 at the University of Washington's Urban Horticulture Center reporting the progress of earthquake early warning and discussing beta testers for the system.
February 2013 stakeholders workshop - Meeting notes from this innitial meeting were released in March 2013. Participants have begun conversations on how EEW system alerts might be integrated into operations and communications systems to reduce losses.

Qatar’s Office at the World Trade Organisation in Geneva submitted a request for formal consultations, including Saudi Arabia’s violations against Qatar with respect to the WTO’s Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.
Qatar has initiated new proceedings against Saudi Arabia before the World Trade Organisation’s dispute settlement body, accusing Riyadh of violating the intellectual property rights of Qatari citizens and entities guaranteed under international conventions.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce on Monday said in accordance with Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes, Qatar’s Office at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva submitted a request for formal consultations, including Saudi Arabia’s violations against Qatar with respect to the WTO’s Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement).
"Since June 2017, Saudi Arabia has taken diplomatic, political and economic measures against Qatar. Saudi Arabia’s actions represent not only a violation of Qatar’s trade rights but they also affect the rights of other trading partners. The new dispute focuses on violations with respect to protection of intellectual property rights in Saudi Arabia.
"Of particular concern, Saudi Arabia prohibited a Qatari company – beIN Media Group LLP – from broadcasting its content in the country. Soon after, a sophisticated broadcast pirate named 'beoutQ' began the unauthorised broadcast of beIN’s copyrighted media content in Saudi Arabia, including through the sale of beoutQ subscriptions and set-top decoder boxes at numerous retail outlets across the country. Contrary to its obligations under the TRIPS Agreement, Saudi Arabia has, among other things, refused to take any effective action against beoutQ; restricted or otherwise frustrated beIN’s ability to pursue civil actions before Saudi courts; denounced beIN’s requests to investigate and prevent the pirate’s unauthorised broadcasts; and promoted public gatherings with screenings of beoutQ’s unauthorised broadcasts," the MEC said.
HE Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohamed al-Thani, Minister of Economy and Commerce, stressed that Saudi Arabia's actions in terms of banning Qatari citizens and entities from exercising their basic rights to protect and defend their intellectual property rights before enforcement authorities in that country is a flagrant violation of Saudi international and moral obligations.
trademarks, among other rights, which has caused significant commercial losses for Qatari citizens and entities.

Christchurch - Australian captain SteveSmith defended his side on Wednesday as "nice guys" after he wasslapped with a dissent charge amid continuing fallout over umpire abuse duringthe second Test against New Zealand.
Australia won the Test by seven wickets tomove to the top of the world rankings, but celebrations were marred by Smithbeing hauled before the International Cricket Council match referee to explainhis actions.
He was charged with dissent in connectionwith the same obscenity-laden rant that cost Josh Hazlewood 15 percent of hismatch fee. The ICC was expected to announce Smith's penalty later Wednesday.
But Smith talked up the Australians as"nice guys" who play the game hard and push the boundaries but don'tmean to offend.
The abuse levelled at the umpires duringtheir seven wicket win in Christchurch to sweep the series against New Zealandwas the latest in a string of incidents involving Australia.
Two of the more notable episodes are thenotorious 1981 underarm delivery when New Zealand needed six off the last ballto tie an ODI, and in 2013, when then captain Michael Clarke warned England'sJimmy Anderson to prepare for a broken arm.
"I don't think we're not nice guys. Weplay a good, hard, aggressive brand of cricket," Smith said, admitting heand Hazlewood were wrong in how they approached the umpires after Australiawere denied an lbw decision against Kane Williamson.
"For us it's about knowing where thatline is and myself and Josh Hazlewood have crossed that line in this Test matchand that's not what we're about and hopefully we can learn from that andcontinue to develop as a team and get better."
Smith said he believed at the time he wasacting correctly to question the umpire's decision.
"I thought I was well within my rightsto go up to the umpire and ask him why we didn't use the real timesnicko," he said referring to the technology used to determine if the ballhad hit the bat.
"That's deemed to be dissent and I'llcop that on the chin and I need to be better as a leader, I need to set theexample and that was not good enough.
"For me it's about trying to learnfrom my mistakes and improve and try and get this team going forward in theright direction and playing the good aggressive brand of cricket that we playso well and know there's a line there that we can't cross."
Despite the on-field dissent, New Zealandcaptain Brendon McCullum, who retired from international cricket at the end ofthe Test, maintained there was a good relationship between the two sides.
"This series has been played in greatspirits, I think, and the one back in Australia. I think Steve Smith has been acatalyst for that," he said.
"He plays the game for the rightreasons as well. He plays with his heart on his sleeve but he's a veryrespectful guy and a wonderful cricketer.
"They're number one in the world nowand a lot of that is to do with his leadership and (Australian coach) DarrenLehmann's as well."

Dark claws as hard as steel caught hold of the Dream Stick Insect, splinters bursting from the surface of its body as the claws dug in.
With a powerful flap of its wings, the white albatross dashed quickly into the air, pulling the Dream Stick Insect up with it. The Dream Stick Insect struggled in the giant albatross's grasp, but it was no use.
The bird soared higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from view with the Dream Stick Insect still in its grasp.
It flew away just like that?
Gao Peng was left speechless.
Da Zi and Dumby, still in their offensive stances, were also dumbfounded. As they relaxed, they looked at each other and winked awkwardly. That had been a tough fight.
The Dream Stick Insect, which they had treated seriously as a life or death battle, was taken away by a Level 38 Light Albatross just like that.
Gao Peng was still in shock. Had he seen the shadow of a person seated on the back of that Light Albatross?
Gao Peng snapped out of it and gathered his familiars to check on them.
He touched the wound on Da Zi's back with a pain in his heart. The wound had started to heal, and the blood had stopped flowing, but he could still vaguely see the white-colored tender flesh through the wound. It looked like the meat of a fish.
One of Stripey's legs was torn apart, and the spider had remained in the same place throughout the battle, the poor thing. The savagery and viciousness it had displayed in the face of certain death was now nowhere to be seen.
Although Stripey had gone from being an eight-legged spider to a seven-legged spider, the problem was not serious. To a spider, losing a leg was not a permanent disability. By the time it shed its skin the next time, its severed leg would have regenerated, though it would be slightly smaller than the rest of the legs. After another two skin-sheddings, the regenerated limb would be no different from its other legs.
This was true of a normal spider even before the Cataclysm. Striper's regenerative ability would be even more effective. Perhaps it would only need to shed its skin once to completely regrow its new spider leg.
But until Stripey shed its skin, its movement would be slightly affected.
Stripey suddenly hobbled over and picked up its severed leg from the ground. It lifted it up and stared at it without moving a muscle, as if reminiscing.
Da Zi crawled over and circled Stripey.
Stripey lifted its limbs and scratched its head in confusion. It didn't know what Da Zi wanted.
Finally, Da Zi stopped in front of Stripey and stared directly at the severed leg Stripey held in its hands, drooling.
All eight of Stripey's eyes widened at the same time. I treat you as my big brother. How could you harbor such thoughts?!
Da Zi shook its head and raised its claws clumsily in an attempt to point at the wound on its back. But Da Zi's limbs were so short that it couldn't point at its back, and the awkward motion made Da Zi stumble and fall on the ground.
It got back up in a daze and shook its head. Da Zi crept over to Dumby and said something to the skeleton. Dumby seemed confused at first, but then it understood the message. It extended its right hand and pointed towards the injury on Da Zi's back.
Da Zi nodded happily and continued shaking its head to Stripey in an attempt to claim credit.
Stripey saw the wound on its big brother's back and fell silent. Big bro had risked its life to avenge it and even got injured, so was it totally unreasonable to award big brother with its severed limb?
Da Zi glanced toward Gao Peng guiltily. To prevent its master from comprehending what it had said, it had used a complicated beast language to communicate.
Gao Peng thought it was quite funny. Although he did not understand beast language, he still understood sign language.
Ever since these familiars had begun watching the TV show "Square Babies" every day, they were becoming more humanized by the day. They even knew how to use sign language now!
As for Stripey's decision about whether to give the severed limb to Da Zi, Gao Peng was not interested in becoming involved. He was only thinking about how they should proceed from there. Should they continue exploring further, or should they strategically move outward?
They had already encountered a Level 35 Dream Stick Insect this far into the forest. Although Gao Peng knew that it was a low-probability event, it still made him a little scared.
Now that Da Zi and Stripey were both injured, if they encountered some other monsters what would he do?
For things like points, Gao Peng, would only try his best within the range of his abilities.
"Let's go. We should first find some food for Stripey. We'll decide what to do next once it's shed its skin and regenerated its leg," Gao Peng said decisively.
The familiars had no objections.
That night, through the shining moonlight, a bonfire lit up in the forest. Beside the bonfire lay the corpse of a Roaring Wind Mountain Beast. It was the original master of the forest, but now it had become the food for one man and four beasts.
Stripey inserted its mouthparts into the beast's body and then crouched beside the corpse and watched it dissolve into a thick liquid in silence. Stripey then moved forward in excitement and devoured the food. The Commander tier Roaring Wind Mountain Beast had two attributes, wind and earth, and its body was filled with vibrant energy.
Stripey sprawled on the ground beside the bonfire after devouring its food and closed its eyes. Its skin began to harden.
Gao Peng saw it clearly. After this skin-shedding process, Stripey would increase its level to 20.
Initially, Gao Peng had wanted to develop Stripey into a meat shield. Unfortunately, he hadn't had enough time to train it. Its level was only 19 at the moment. At that level, while still good, Stripey's defense wasn't strong enough to defend against a Commander tier monster.
The skin on Stripey's body continued to harden. It was like it had developed a layer of scab. Although the color deepened, it lost its shine.
Da Zi had long ago fallen asleep on the side, while Dumby stood in place and remained vigilant as a sentry. Dumby did not need to fall into deep sleep to rest. As the beating of its Blood-Thread Heart slowed down, it could maintain a pseudo sleep state while remaining vigilant to the slightest fluctuation of the surrounding air. If a monster with a heartbeat appeared in the vicinity, it would attract Dumby's attention.
The night went by without a single word spoken.
The following day, Stripey had already become a dark grey scab shell. Suddenly, a crack appeared on the surface of the shell, and a shiny, black limb poked through the crack. An all-new, eight-legged Stripey emerged from within the shell!
Its level also leapt directly to 20. It was now only one step away from Commander tier!

State police will work with the Federal Aviation Administration to determine whether a North Brookfield man violated any laws when he allegedly flew his powered parachute close enough to the ground to prompt a call to 911 yesterday. A powered parachute is an ultralight type of aircraft.
State and local police searched along railroad tracks and in an area of Route 9 known as �the flats� after receiving a report that a man on some sort of parachute passed over the area yelling for help at about 5:45 p.m.
As a helicopter from the state police air wing passed over the area, Trooper Patrick Robinson and his trained dog Max and officers from Brookfield and North Brookfield joined East Brookfield police and began searching for the man. Firefighters gathered at their station in anticipation of a more extensive search.
Several people reported seeing the parachute flying low and one, who initially called police, believed the pilot was calling for help as the parachute passed near Lake Lashaway. State Trooper Robert Benoit said he spoke with the North Brookfield man, who admitted to being in the area but denied that he was yelling.
Four-wheel-drive vehicles traveled near the rail bed from the flats on the west side of town and officers walked the tracks eastward, looking for any evidence of a downed parachute but found nothing.
Officers eventually learned that a man from North Brookfield may have been flying the device and they went to his home to speak with him after calling off the search around 7 p.m.
Trooper Benoit said the matter has been referred to the FAA to determine whether any charges can be filed.
According to www.powerchutes.com, the aircraft fly 26 miles per hour or more depending on wind speeds and can climb to more than 10,000 feet.

Salzburgring is a racing venue in Austria with 2 laptimes.This page represents the 4.2 kilometer (2.6 mile) configuration of this track.
It does not upload the GPX File from "Harrys Laptimer". Troubleshooting??
What error message did you get? Give it up to a minute to upload the file after you hit "Submit". If it fails it should give a window with error message.
If it doesn't work still you can send gpx file to my email riils@yahoo.com so I can look into it. GPX upload feature is work in progress in early stages right now.
P.S. if you see weird top speed or acceleration data, it's because there appears to be a bug in Harry's Laptimer's GPX export having to do with time (milliseconds are wrong).
Very fast, but for sure not stock.

The Automotive Trade Structural Adjustment Programme supports employees, businesses and areas affected by the closure of Australia’s car manufacturing trade. This listing is overwhelming. I’ve at all times simply categorized vehicles by colour. I used to have a black automobile. Now I’ve a white one. I had a brown one for some time, in graduate school. Chrysler has 3200 dealerships within the nation. The company needs to close 789 of them by June ninth. We may all be surprised at how many people do the same factor as you when buying a car.

Canadian Global Talent Stream Pilot has been a significant changer for high-growth startups in Canada and the government’s plan to make it permanent would be a good move, the Canadian Innovators Council says.
Launched in 2017 below the Temporary Foreign Worker Program of Canada, the Global Talent Stream mainly works to speed up the work visa applications for qualified foreign workers with skills needed by Canadian organizations in areas such as Science, Engineering, Technology, and Mathematics (S.T.E.M) and Information Technology.
The program enables organizations to present a promoted Labour Market Impact Evaluation (L.M.I.A), which ignores the demand to show that they tried hiring in Canada first and facilitates the process of approval.
If the L.M.I.A determines there are no Canadian workers ready to do the work, and a work visa can be achieved in as short as ten business days, enabling companies quick way to critical, highly skilled labor.
The plan to make the famous pilot permanent, which was declared in the 2019 federal budget, attended calls to do so from associations of the business including the Canadian Innovators Council, which represents higher than 100 of Canada’s active growing tech companies.
The council led to a prediction by the Communication and Information Technology Council (ICTC) of Canada’ that told there would be 216,000 job openings in the sector by 2021. Bringing skilled digital workers globally is the quick solution for industry leaders to expand their businesses and overcome opportunity costs created by talent deficiency, the forecast states.
Companies who use the stream need to develop a Plan of Labour Market Benefits that features how they will produce lasting benefits for the labor market of Canada and the vast economy of Canada, such as job production or knowledge transfer.
In its budget 2019, the Canadian government told the Global Talent Stream has produced commitments from employers of Canada to generate 40,000 latest jobs for permanent residents and Canadians, develop higher than 10,000 co-op placements and fund higher than $90 million in skills training and development.
The government promised $35.2 million over 05 years starting in 2019-2020 to help the Global Talent Stream, by $7.4 million per year continuing.

We are now in 2019, however, when it comes to fashion, we still can learn a lot from 2018. Every year, celebrities try their best to have the most beautiful outfits on each of the celebrations they visit. When it comes to 2018, we may say that it was a successful year for fashion. Many celebrities showed off their impressive dresses on the Red Carpet.
In 2018, black was not in fashion. Celebrities started wearing colorful dresses as glamorous as any other black dress. But who was the best-dressed celebrity on the Red Carpet? Here are the five best-dressed celebrities in 2018.
The best-dressed celebrity of 2018 was definitely Tracee Ellis Ross. Tracee Ellis Ross and her designer Karla Welch have done a great job the previous year. She showed off her amazing and stylish dresses at every event she attended. The Red Carpet was her place to shine. The voluminous fabric of her dresses and the sleek suit were here top choices. She looked amazing in every dress she wore. The dresses in dark or light pink were number one on the list of best dresses of 2018. Great job for Tracee Ellis Ross!
Michelle Obama is one fashionable former First Lady. Her pantsuits were number one on the list of best-dressed celebrities in 2018. However, we should not forget the elegant and glamorous dresses she wore on the Red Carpet. Her style emphasizes her love for fashion, which is why we regret not seeing her more often in her luxurious outfits.
The pretty actress and the star of the movie series Fifty Shades of Gray has always impressed us with her floor-length dresses. She prefers wearing long dresses and tea-length dresses with a fitted waist. The elegance in her style is impressive. Her stylist Kate Young did a great job in 2018 making her one of the five best-dressed celebrities in the previous year.
Lady Gaga is famous for her style. The glamour and luxury in her outfits impress many people. Her outfits never get boring. 2018 was not any different from the previous years. Her suits and her floor-length dresses made our jaw drop. Good job for Lady Gaga and her stylist Marc Jacobs.
Cardi B is our fifth celebrity on the list. Even though she had a baby bump, she was still one of the best-dressed celebrities in 2018. She wore amazing floor-length and tea-length dresses with a fitted waist in black color and other colors as well, which enabled her to become our top five best-dressed celebrity.
We look forward to future events and new surprises from these fashion icons!

The creation of a new social order and the establishment of different social relations brought through the arrival of the Turks in Bosnia resulted in the symbiosis of the pre-established and the imported cultures and influences. This process of symbiosis was facilitated due to two reasons: First, the government did not strive to destroy the situation they encountered and, second, the spread of Islam was a chief factor in the formation of a new image of the cultural history of Bosniaks. In the subsequent historical period, the Austro-Hungarian Empire imprinted the Central European seal on the former Ottoman and Islamic lifestyle, which resulted in the peculiarity of the character of the native Muslim population.
The historical background of the overall circumstances in the 19th and 20th-century Bosnia and Herzegovina is largely marked by studies on the educational and cultural development of the Muslim population. Among the diligent and zealous workers who focused on that goal (Osman Nuri Hadžić, Ivan Aziz Miličević, Edhem Mualbdić, Safvet-beg Bašagić, Hamid Šahinović Ekrem, the grat reformer Džemaludin Čaušević, etc.), there are certain authors whose production was stimulated sometimes by an official cultural policy or by individual interest and enthusiasm. At times, it was stimulated by all these factors together. The work of Antun Hangi – an educational worker, a collector of folk songs, and an investigator of the life and customs of these people – is generally classified in the third category aforementioned. This year (referring to 2009) marks the 110th anniversary since this author has embodied his contribution to the nature and the promotion of ethnographic and cultural history of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the work Life and Customs of the Muhammadans in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In accordance with the active surpassing of national placement and defining the Bosniak population as “the Muhammadans of BiH”, the following, and a considerably extended issue of this book had a changed title: Life and Customs of muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A third issue, however, appeared in 1990, introducing the capital M in the word “Muslim” in the title.
If we stick to the principle that a need for a new issue can best be judged by the lifespan of a particular work and its relevance in the present-day circumstances, then we may deduce the following: if some work is observed based on the epoch in which it was written (which is the necessity of an accurate reading process), then one can notice that the majority of defects in a work results from the generally accepted standards at the end of the 19th century. “Images in the head” that even Hangi himself brings to Bosnia (and yet, they have the natural feature of outliving ideologies) have not interfered with the overall usefulness and quality of Antun Hangi’s work. That usefulness and quality made his work survive and live through an entire century and, what is more, preserve the contents’ authenticity even to this day. In the valorization process of this work’s significance, the point speaks for itself. One could say that this work was the first attempt in giving a synthetic portrayal of life and culture of the Bosniaks from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. In its broader sense, the Bosnian-Herzegovinian cultural production of the 20th century is characterized by the constants, such as theme shortening, lack of synthetic studies, reserved approach in treating the long-lasting taboo topics, and directing research on questions that have a current and short-term connection with the local milieu. All this creates an image of a certain confinement among most Bosnian-Herzegovinian authors, when it comes to tracking down the general processes. But this is not the case with Antun Hangi who even in the years teeming with sociopolitical, economic, and cultural ferments pays attention to the demands of the Bosniak intellectuals of that time, and takes into consideration a need for the more accurate labeling of the nation (ethnic group) by changing the “Muhammadans” from the title into something more acceptable for the time – “Muslims.” Besides, considering the constant pillaging of the Muslim heritage, Antun Hangi has protected this corpus to some extent by giving this exact title to his book.
Hangi’s teaching service in the towns Maglaj, Bihać, Banja Luka, and Sarajevo, has, unfortunately, limited the range of the author’s knowledge on local coordinates. Due to its geographical miniature, the Bosnian territory is deceiving, so the local elements – and not only in Hangi – are frequently taken as standards for the overall Bosnian-Herzegovinian area. Talks and records about life, customs, and the tradition of Bosniaks are, to a great extent, a result of the Bosniaks’ attempt to have a showdown with the reality of that time. However, regarding the fact that a characterization is being developed during such an encounter – and this characterization is developed on the level of the community’s ethnic life, not on the level of an individual’s life – one shall consider the shortage in Hangi’s knowledge of circumstances in all parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as his aiming towards the treatment of town citizens mainly (with a complete neglect of life and customs among the peasantry), numerous simplifications and generalizations in the places where that cannot be done (e.g. equalizing the term “godfatherhood” among the Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats), not knowing the essence of fundamental Islamic institutions which are entirely respected in Bosnia (e.g. the essence of marriage contract among the Muslims, which author depicts as “purchasing a wife”). Having all this in mind, one could say that the author placed his research within a reliable theoretical framework, providing us with a work which even to this day shows an unequivocal contribution to the knowledge about the cultural history of Bosnia-Herzegovina.Moreover, the research is placed as an element of primarily Bosnian heritage. Though de-historicized by different elements of artistic expression in many places, the author’s knowledge, even to this day, attracts the readers’ attention, which is a sufficient reason to make a new edition of this work, and its presentation for all those interested in it. The reproaches presented serve only as means to emphasize the need to invest further effort in depicting the life and customs of Bosniaks in their full variety, and the area in which they have existed and survived. Contemporary trends in the world – especially scientific and scholarly works – have created an atmosphere of accessibility to numerous works teeming with literary-historical and ethno-folklore themes. Nevertheless, the quantity of these works does not necessarily imply the quality of information stored in them. Therefore, only a small amount of works has managed to preserve the referential value in culture, in general. Despite the attempts to generalize it in various directions, or compress the enormous wealth of the Bosniaks’ life and culture into narrow geographical borders, the work of Antun Hangi cannot be stripped off its representative importance, and the portrayal of life of one layer of Muslim population, primarily the prominent and the rich. At times, Hangi does that in an artistic way, not making a difference between historical facts and folk stories. As a result, this gives a direct possibility to all critics to question the authenticity of everything the author presents. But, as elements of tradition possess genuinely historical values, one shall accept the author’s feeling that folk songs which he presents in the work can also reveal some elements in customs and lifestyle of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Muslims. In the second edition of the book, the author himself admits that the title of the book is too extensive, in regard to its contents; he agrees that it would have been better if the title was From Life and Customs of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for he did not describe, and was unable to describe “all the customs of Bosnian Muslims in a single book”. The greatness of this recognition is also reflected in the fact that, during the last century, a synthesis has not been done in the form of a book that would encompass all the diversity of life and customs of Bosniaks. Moreover, there are not enough individual studies that could work out the segments of such synthesis. In addition, among the outstanding individual attempts of Muhsin Rizvić and Alija Isaković, we have a decade of “silence” symptomatic in the treatment of these problems in scholarly projects and in its inclusion in textbooks and publishing houses.
Considering all the information provided about the work of Antun Hangi, it is superfluous to give additional reasons on why Dobra knjiga (publishing house) has recognized a need for a new issue. The spirit of altruism of presenting his knowledge to the world has given Hangi the things that present-day reader is largely deprived of, primarily because of their own conceit. Namely, in the times of great political changes, people are generally ready to consider how the world will commence from them. Books like these prove of permanent value and raise relevant questions, such as the one saying it is not enough to care about what we think of ourselves or about what others think of us or to care about what we constantly forget.

The $7 million incentive package Carrier Corp. will receive as part of a deal the company reached with President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence represents a departure from how tax credits are typically used in Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS — The $7 million incentive package Carrier Corp. will receive as part of a deal the company reached with President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence represents a departure from how tax credits are typically used in Indiana.
It's also the kind of agreement Trump slammed on the campaign trail.
The furnace manufacturer will receive $5 million in tax credits over 10 years in exchange for keeping 1,069 jobs at its Indianapolis plant, with an average wage of $30.91 hour. The company also will receive $1 million in training grants and up to $1 million in additional tax credits based on Carrier's planned $16 million investment in the west-side factory.
The board of the state's economic development agency must still approve the deal. As governor, Pence is chairman of the board and appoints its members.
The deal was a major early victory for the incoming presidential administration. It was also welcome news for the plant's 1,400 employees, who had been told in February that their jobs would be eliminated and the work shipped to Monterrey, Mexico.
But the deal differs from most other economic development agreements in Indiana, where incentives are usually aimed at luring jobs, not merely retaining them. In fact, about 400 workers at Carrier will still lose their jobs under the deal, as will 700 employees at a related company in Huntington.
Some experts say the deal sets a troubling precedent.
"It’s a potentially dangerous policy where you reward a company that threatens to leave. It’s a dangerous precedent. Why wouldn’t every other company make the exact same pitch?" said Steve Weitzner of Silverlode Consulting, a site-selection firm. "In this case, you’re rewarding a company that is actually cutting a lot of jobs in the state."
But others say that economic development has to be handled on a case-by-case basis.
"It’s a judgment call," said Mitch Roob, who led the state's economic development agency under then-Gov. Mitch Daniels. "The IEDC has a fair amount of leeway, as they should, because there’s no way for the legislature to understand what the particular circumstances might be at a point in time."
Roob said awarding incentives for retention was uncommon but not unprecedented.
"We tried not to do it, obviously," he said. "But there were certain circumstances when that became the best option for us, and we went ahead and did it."
Trump, however, has criticized the use of such incentives.
"I’ve watched as politicians talked about stopping companies from leaving our states," Trump said at a Pennsylvania campaign rally in August: " 'Here’s a tax abatement of any kind you want. We’ll help your employees.' It doesn’t work, folks. That’s not what they need. They have money. They want to go out, they want to move to another country, and because our politicians are so dumb, they want to sell their product to us and not have any retribution, not have any consequence."
Instead of incentives, Trump frequently called for tariffs as high as 35% on products produced by companies that move their factories outside the United States. Those threats were often aimed at Carrier.
At an event at the Carrier factory Thursday, neither Trump nor Pence mentioned the incentives. The details came from Carrier and officials at the Indiana Economic Development Corp., the state agency that administers tax and training grant incentives.
It remains unclear to what extent that threat and the state incentives played in Carrier's decision to keep some jobs in Indianapolis. The company said the incentives were important, but so were Trump's promises to work with the business community on creating an improved business environment.
Experts agree that the incentives offered to Carrier probably played only a minor role in persuading the company to keep operations in Indianapolis. The $700,000 a year in incentives from Indiana are a drop in the bucket compared with the $65 million a year Carrier has said it would save in labor and other costs by shifting production to Mexico.
Maintaining a good relationship with the incoming Trump administration was likely a more important factor, experts said, especially given that Carrier's parent company, United Technologies, receives billions of dollars a year in federal contracts.
Whatever the motivation, Weitzner said, the terms of Trump's deal with the company are striking given the president-elect's comments on the campaign trail.
"It’s exactly the opposite of what he said he would do," Weitzner said. "He said he was going to punish companies. Now he’s rewarding companies that are taking jobs away."
But for Pence, the soon-to-be vice president who played a key role in negotiating the deal, the terms are less surprising.
In 2014, the Pence administration awarded $8 million in tax credits to BAE Systems Controls to keep 1,000 jobs at its Fort Wayne facility.
Less than a year later, the company announced it would lay off up to 100 employees, and it has since reduced its workforce to about 850.
The company told The Indianapolis Star in August that the layoffs were unrelated to production shifts to its facility in Guaymas, Mexico, over the past six years, but the U.S. Office of Trade Adjustment found that BAE’s decision to acquire products “from a foreign country” contributed significantly to the layoffs.
An Indianapolis Star review of incentive deals awarded under Pence found that the state had approved $24 million in incentives to 10 companies that sent work to foreign countries, costing hundreds of Hoosiers their jobs. In some cases, the state clawed back the money. But in several other cases, it did not. In some instances, that was because the incentive deals were specific to a particular plant, allowing the company to shift production overseas from other Indiana plants.
Greg Leroy, whose organization Good Jobs First tracks economic development incentives, said trying to stop offshoring with government incentives rarely works because lower labor costs often generate savings much larger than any incentive a state can offer.
What's really needed, he said, are broad federal policy changes.
"Until there's a systemic answer," he said, "until he’s got some policy in place to make it meaningful to other workers, there’s not much to it."

itchy-O will break down the doors of 2014 with yet another explosive NYE show hosted by 3 Kings Tavern and Sailor Jerry’s Spiced Rum. Westword’s Tom Murphy described a recent Itchy-O NYE show as a “kind of Voodoo ceremony during Mardi Gras.” Keeping with that tradition, Itchy-O has planned this third annual New Year’s Eve feast for the senses that will, no doubt, top the previous two. Itchy-O will usher in 2014 with new material, more new custom-made instruments, and the release of an extra special new addition to the itchy-O family. The line-up also includes Men in Burka, lauded as the sultans of intelligent dance music, and DJ Dr. Whom from Cleveland, Ohio who will be providing his unique audio-visual mash-ups throughout the night.
3 Kings Tavern will be hosting their 6th Annual Pot Luck Dinner from 5pm-8pm. Bring enough of your favorite dish to share and your appetite and 3 Kings will give you a 2-for-1 admission and your first drink free. Sailor Jerry’s Spiced Rum will be on hand all night providing schwag and drink specials.
Denver-based Itchy-O is a 32-piece, percussion-centered, electronic marching band accompanied by a taiko drumming troupe, dancing apparitions and their cantankerous Chinese lion. Jesus Garcia of SF Weekly described Itchy-O as “progeny of Crash Worship and Savage Republic… a sensory overload, full mind/body immersion, coming together in ecstatic ritual… a 21st century drum circle, where cyborg bulls are slaughtered on the altar of Mystery Science Theater 3000.” With a driving drum corp complemented by an arsenal of special surround sound effects units including synthesizers, theremin, vocoders, and several other hand-held electronic devices, Itchy-O completely engulfs and immerses an audience from every angle in an electric bog of music, ephemera and spectacle.
Kamran Khan, Strange Powers and Mario Zoots are Men In Burka. An experimental electronic act, Men in Burka blends traditional Middle Eastern aesthetics, rhythm-heavy beats and a melange of samples to create a sound that crosses cultural boundaries and redefines dance music. The band got its start just as Khan’s previous project with Mario Zoots and Kristy Fenton, Modern Witch, was becoming less active. Up to that point, Khan, the son of an American woman and a Pakistani man, hadn’t had the chance to fully express his own mixed-culture reality. As his involvement with Modern Witch was winding down, he began writing music that was reflective of his background. He shared it with Zoots and Strange Powers, his longtime musical collaborators and fans of Kahn’s ’90s-era hip-hop crew, Future Reference. The three formed Men in Burka in September 2011.
Since their first release, the group has gone on to share stages with Balkan Beat Box, Chelsea Wolfe, SSION, Pictureplane, Tanlines, oOoOO and many others. In 2012, Men in Burka (MIB) played over 30 shows, including the two biggest Denver music festivals (Underground Music Showcase and the Westword Music Showcase) and several shows at SXSW, and self-released a follow up album titled War / Magic. In 2013, MIB played many shows including the Artopia festival, the Underground Music Showcase, and in support of Strange Famous Records artist B. Dolan, and, again, for Balkan Beat Box.
Media Collage Pirate “Dr. Whom” is an audio-video mash-up artist from Cleveland, Ohio. Using a combination of sources ranging from Sesame Street to Apocalypse Now and Motorhead to Peggy Lee, Dr. Whom laces together audio-video interval sets that play between featured acts.

One of the most important pilgrim centres of the Christians in Kerala, popularly known as St. Sebastian Church, 22 kms. north of Alleppey.This church was established by Portuguese missionaries, which is near Sherthallai. Arthunkal is a small seaside village, about 8 kilometre west of Cherthala and 22 kilometre north of the sleepy Alappuzha town, in the Alappuzha district of Kerala state, South India. Primarily a fishing village, this serene neighborhood has witnessed fast development since the late nineties, in sync with Cherthala, a small satellite town of Kochi, the biggest city in Kerala.
Arthunkal is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Kerala. It is considered as a holy land by hundreds of thousands of devotees, of Christian as well as other faith. The village is synonymous for its church, which has the Roman martyr Saint Sebastian as its patron. The feast of St. Sebastian in Arthunkal is a grand celebration extending for two weeks in January. While the main day of the traditional feast or the perunnal is on January 20, the church authorities have instituted another on January 27, to mark the end of celebrations, locally referred to as Ettamperunnal or ‘the 8th day or the feast’.
Devotees from all across the state visit the church on the feast days. A procession, carrying the graceful statue of St. Sebastian, from the church to the beach and back, is the most important event of the feast. Interestingly, an eagle is seen roaming the skies, every year during the time of the procession. This eagle too has become part of the grandmother stories, about the presence of St. Sebastian as a guardian saint for the village.

It’s pouring, it’s grey, it’s Tuesday, I arrive at the bus shelter and there is a group of fellow commuters waiting... but wait, did I miss something? Is there now priority seating for wet umbrellas?... because, gee, why should one have to hold such a wet and yucky thing until the bus arrives. I’m sure someone who needs to sit would be hard pressed to ask a wet umbrella that they really need to sit, and then there is the weighing of whether such an argument is worth it as a wet behind is a miserable trade off to achieve priority seating.
I took the photo, and the owner of the umbrella saw me, didn’t say or do anything... I’m worn down from sad news that a fellow colleague at work suddenly lost their 8 year old son. A wet umbrella on a seat was trivial at the moment, yet, I know that if someone standing there needed to sit, I would have provided negative specific feedback to umbrella owner and I had napkins to dry the seat off.
Folks, we all do things that affect others, let’s be mindful and think of others. #compassion will save the world.

Construction Laborers - What do Construction Laborers do?
Construction laborers can be found on almost all construction sites, performing a wide range of tasks from the very easy to the hazardous. They can be found at building, highway, and heavy construction sites; residential and commercial sites; tunnel and shaft excavations; and demolition sites. Many of the jobs they perform require physical strength, training, and experience. Other jobs require little skill and can be learned quickly. Although most construction laborers specialize in a type of construction, such as highway or tunnel construction, some are generalists who perform many different tasks during all stages of construction. Construction laborers who work in underground construction, such as in tunnels, or in demolition are more likely to specialize in only those areas.
Construction laborers clean and prepare construction sites. They remove trees and debris; tend pumps, compressors, and generators; and erect and disassemble scaffolding and other temporary structures. They load, unload, identify, and distribute building materials to the appropriate location according to project plans and specifications. Laborers also tend machines; for example, they may use a portable mixer to mix concrete or tend a machine that pumps concrete, grout, cement, sand, plaster, or stucco through a spray gun for application to ceilings and walls. They often help other craftworkers, including carpenters, plasterers, operating engineers, and masons.
Construction laborers are responsible for the installation and maintenance of traffic control devices and patterns. At highway construction sites, this work may include clearing and preparing highway work zones and rights-of-way; installing traffic barricades, cones, and markers; and controlling traffic passing near, in, and around work zones. Construction laborers also dig trenches; install sewer, water, and storm drainpipes; and place concrete and asphalt on roads. Other highly specialized tasks include operating laser guidance equipment to place pipes; operating air, electric, and pneumatic drills; and transporting and setting explosives for the construction of tunnels, shafts, and roads.
Some construction laborers help with the removal of hazardous materials, such as asbestos, lead, or chemicals.
Construction laborers operate a variety of equipment, including pavement breakers; jackhammers; earth tampers; concrete, mortar, and plaster mixers; electric and hydraulic boring machines; torches; small mechanical hoists; laser beam equipment; and surveying and measuring equipment. They may use computers and other high-tech input devices to control robotic pipe cutters and cleaners. To perform their jobs effectively, construction laborers must be familiar with the duties of other craftworkers and with the materials, tools, and machinery they use, as all of these workers work as part of a team, jointly carrying out assigned construction tasks.
Most construction laborers do physically demanding work. Some work at great heights or outdoors in all weather conditions. Some jobs expose workers to harmful materials or chemicals, fumes, odors, loud noises, or dangerous machinery. Some laborers may be exposed to lead-based paint, asbestos, or other hazardous substances during their work, especially when they work in confined spaces. Workers in this occupation experience one of the highest rates of nonfatal injuries and illnesses; consequently, the work requires constant attention to safety on the job. To avoid injury, workers in these jobs wear safety clothing, such as gloves, hardhats, protective chemical suits, and devices to protect their eyes, respiratory system, or hearing. While working underground, construction laborers must be especially alert in order to follow procedures safely and must deal with a variety of hazards.
A standard 40 hour work week is the most common work week for construction laborers. About 1 in 7 has a variable schedule, as overnight work may be required in highway work. In some parts of the country, construction laborers may work only during certain seasons. They also may experience weather-related work stoppages at any time of the year.
Although some construction laborer jobs have no specific educational qualifications or entry-level training, apprenticeships for laborers usually require a high school diploma or the equivalent. High school classes in English, mathematics, physics, mechanical drawing, blueprint reading, welding, and general shop can be helpful.
Most workers start by getting a job with a contractor who provides on-the-job training. Increasingly, construction laborers are finding work through temporary-help agencies that send laborers to construction sites for short-term work. Entry-level workers generally help more experienced workers, by performing routine tasks such as cleaning and preparing the worksite and unloading materials. When the opportunity arises, they learn from experienced construction trades workers how to do more difficult tasks, such as operating tools and equipment. Construction laborers also may choose or be required to attend a trade or vocational school, association training class, or community college to receive further trade-related training.
Some laborers receive more formal training in the form of an apprenticeship. These programs include between 2 and 4 years of classroom and on-the-job training. In the first 200 hours, workers learn basic construction skills, such as blueprint reading, the correct use of tools and equipment, and safety and health procedures. The remainder of the curriculum consists of specialized skills training in three of the largest segments of the construction industry: building construction, heavy and highway construction, and environmental remediation, such as lead or asbestos abatement and mold or hazardous waste remediation. Training in “green,” energy-efficient construction, an area of growth in the construction industry, is now available and can help workers find employment.
Workers who use dangerous equipment or handle toxic chemicals usually receive specialized safety training. Laborers who remove hazardous materials are required to take union- or employer-sponsored Occupational Safety and Health Administration safety training.
Apprenticeship applicants usually must be at least 18 years old and meet local requirements. Because the number of apprenticeship programs is limited, however, only a small proportion of laborers learn their trade in this way.
Laborers need manual dexterity, eye-hand coordination, good physical fitness, a good sense of balance, and an ability to work as a member of a team. The ability to solve arithmetic problems quickly and accurately may be required. In addition, military service or a good work history is viewed favorably by contractors.

Anthony Martial can become one of the Premier League’s top players if he believes in himself, according to Manchester United teammate Nemanja Matic.
Jose Mourinho’s men received a much-needed shot in the arm on Sunday by overcoming Everton.
Martial’s delightful curling effort proved the difference in a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford, where he was crowned man-of-the-match after also winning the penalty that eventually led to Paul Pogba opening the scoring.
The 22-year-old appears to have turned a corner at United, having struggled to earn the trust of Jose Mourinho and at times endured a testy relationship with the manager.
Martial’s run of four successive starts has brought four goals and teammate Matic believes the forward has the world at his feet.
“Anthony is a great player and he needs to understand that,” the United defensive midfielder said.
“He needs more confidence. He is still young and I think if he continues to score in the next game he will get that. If he reaches his top level, he can be one of the best players in the league for sure.
Asked if senior players like himself have told Martial just how good he can be, Matic said: “The manager speaks with him about it. I have told him once.
“But he is a great person and a great guy, and I am happy for him that he is scoring. It is great.
Matic is also certain that out-of-sorts striker Romelu Lukaku will get back on track.
After eight scoreless appearances for the United, the Belgium international was dropped to the bench as his former club Everton visited Old Trafford.

To the west of the tower of St. Augustine is the Royal Chapel dedicated to St. Anthony, the national saint of Portugal and held in grand respect by the Portuguese. It was built in the beginning of the 17th century.
In 1835 the chapel was closed but opened again in 1894 when it was also renovated. It was inaugurated again in 1961 after complete restoration done by the Portuguese Government.
This tiny chapel is semicircular in figure and has an unusually styled facade, not based on any one style. It faces east and the belfries give it a fortress-like appearance. The semi-circular arched doorway is flaked with twisted pilasters and the shutter bears the Augustinian icon of the pelican feeding its young. The clerestory windows light up the interior of the church, which is exquisitely finished and richly ornamented.
Fort Aguada is strategically situated at the estuary of the river Mandovi and was constructed in 1612 as a guard against invasions from the Dutch and the Marathas. The walls of the fort are 5 m high and 1.3 m wide. It is of little surprise then, that this remains the only fort that was not conquered by any invaders during the 450 year long rule of the Portuguese empire. "Agua" in Portuguese means water, thus the fort derived its name "Aguada" to denote a place where water is accumulated. The area around the fort housed a large well and a number of springs that provided fresh drinking water to voyagers that arrived by ship. An interesting feature in the majestic fort is a 13 m high lighthouse built in 1864, which initially used an oil lamp to show seafarers the way. It was later renovated and modernised in 1976. A one time the lighthouse was home to a gigantic bell that was retrieved from amongst the ruins of the St. Augustus monastery in Old Goa. However, the bell has now been moved to the Our Lady of Immaculate Conception church at Panaji.
On the north side of the fort, a rampart of red-brown laterite just into the bay to form a jetty between two small sandy coves. This picturesque spot is known as Sinquerim Beach. Fort Aguada resorts, among the most expensive hotels in India, lords over the beach from the lower slopes of the steep si ded peninsula. The ruins of the fort can be reached by road; head through the Taj village, and turn right when one sees the sign. Nowadays, much of the site serves as a prison, and is therefore closed to visitors. It's worth a visit, though, if only for the superb views from the top of the hill where a four-storey Portuguese lighthouse, erected in 1864 and the oldest of its kind in Asia, looks down over the vast expanse of sea, sand and palm trees of Calangute Beach on one side, and across the mouth of the Mandovi to Cabo Raj Bhavan or The Cabo Palace, and the tip of the Marmagoa peninsula, on the other.
This was construct by Viceroy Francisco da Gama, the grandson of Vasco da Gama in 1597. It carries the deer crest of his family. On top of the arch on the side in front of the Mandovi river is a little statue of Vasco da Gama, fully attired in his royal uniform. The arch is built of laterite stone with the side facing the river constructed of green granite. The original arch collapsed in 1948 and it was restored in 1954. The restoration omitted the third tier that contained the statue of St Catherine made of bronze that is now in the courtyard of the museum. Inside the archway is an inscription to Vasco da Gama and also to King Dom Joao iv, the first Portuguese ruler after it was liberated from Spain in 1640.On the back of the archway is a statue of a crowned woman standing on a "native", symbolizing the "Christian victory over paganism". Tradition has it that on taking office, all viceroys made the procession under the arch where they would be given the ceremonial key to the city and Goa. The road under the arch known as the Rua Direita leads to the main square where most of the monuments exist today.
The Basilica of Bom Jesus has been declared a World Heritage Site. It contains the remains of St Francis Xavier, Goa's patron saint who founded the Jesuit order. Francis Xavier was a missionary whose body is claimed to be miraculously preserved even till now, without the use of any chemicals. The body's right hand was removed and taken by the Jesuits in Japan, part of his right arm sent to Rome in 1615 where it is idolized in the 'Gesu.' It is kept in a silver casket with 3 locks, the keys being with the Governor, the Archbishop and the Convent Administrator. An exposition of the body is conducted every 10 years, since 1859, the next one being in January 2005. Millions of pilgrims come to view the miracle of the saint's body.
The Church of Bom Jesus is also of laterite; its exterior, excepting the façade, was lime plastered, which was subsequently removed. The roof was originally tiled. The church is cruciform on plan. The flying buttresses on the northern side of the church are recent additions. A single-storeyed structure adjoining the church on its southern wing connects it with the professed house.
The three-storeyed façade facing west, shows Ionic, Doric and Corinthian Orders, and a main entrance flanked by two smaller ones, each having Corinthian columns supporting a pediment. Within the church are two chapels, a main altar and a sacristy besides a choir at the entrance. A belfry is at the back.
A projecting gallery, which was intended for the use of dignitaries on solemn occasions, runs along the two longer sides. Excepting the richly gilded altars, the interior of the church is remarkable for its simplicity. While the façade has the classical orders of the Renaissance, the altars are in Baroque style.
The church is called "Bom Jesus" meaning 'good Jesus' or 'infant Jesus' to whom it is dedicated. The façade has on it, at the top, the letters, "HIS" which are the first three letters of Jesus in Greek. The two columns supporting the choir bear slabs inscribed in Portuguese and Latin recording that the construction of this Church of Jesus was commenced on 24 November 1594 and Fr. Alexia de Menezes, the Archbishop of Goa and Primate of India consecrated it on 15 May 1605, when it was completed.
As one enters, beneath the choir, to the right is an altar of St. Anthony and to the left is an exceedingly well-carved wooden statue of St. Francis Xavier. In the middle of the nave on the northern wall is the cenotaph of the benefactor of this church, Dom Jeronimo Mascarenhas, the Captain of Cochin, who died in 1593, bequeathing the resources out of which this church was built.
The main altar at the end of the nave is flanked by two decorated altars in the transept, one dedicated to Our Lady of Hope and the other to St. Michael. The richly gilded main altar has the figure of infant Jesus and above it is a large statue of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the order of Jesuits, gazing with fervour at a medallion on which is inscribed "HIS". Above the medallion, the Holy trinity - the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are depicted. In the transept on the northern side is the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament.
On the southern side in the transept is a chapel with gilded twisted columns and floral decorations of wood, where the sacred relics of the body of St. Francis Xavier are kept. The interior of this chapel is richly adorned with wooden carvings and paintings, depicting the scenes from the life of the Saint.
On the southern wall are paintings in Italian School arranged in three rows. In the bottom row are two paintings showing St. Francis Xavier being received by certain Portuguese noblemen and his interview with the King of Bango in Japan. In the middle row are three paintings respectively showing Xavier praying with fervour for cessation of plague that broke out in Manas Island, kissing the repulsive ulcer wound of a patient in a hospital at Venice and the Pope Paul III pronouncing his apostolic benediction on the eve of his departure to India.
In the top row are, three paintings of Xavier as a servant of a knight, his sad demise at Sancian, an island off the coast of China and the saint in ecstasy. There are also other paintings on the remaining three sides of the chapel, fixed in decorated wooden frames depicting the scenes from his life and the miracles performed by him. A painting, in oil on canvas, of ST. Francis Xavier is mounted on the top of the wooden door at the back of the chapel.
The rectangular base of the tomb is of jasper of reddish and purple colors decorated with carvings in white marble. Above the basement is another rectangular mass of slightly lesser dimensions having a plaque in bronze on each of its four sides depicting the scenes from the life of the saint, and two cherubs holding scrolls.
The four bronze plaques on the four sides show respectively, Xavier preaching to the people of Moluccas, holding aloft the Crucifix and baptizing the natives, swimming away to safety escaping from the wild natives of the island of Morro and dying in the island of Sancian off the coast of China. A beautiful silver statue is kept in front of the casket. The silver casket, which serves as a reliquary containing the sacred relics of the body of St. Francis Xavier, is exquisitely carved, and was once studded with precious stones. The casket is divided on each side into seven panels, each of which has two plates representing in relief important incidents in the life of the saint.
The Duke of Tuscany, Cosmas III, gifted the tomb. A famous sculptor from Florence, Giovanni Batista Foggini, completed the tomb in ten years, and was brought to Goa where it was assembled in 1698.
Adjoining the Chapel of St. Francis Xavier is a corridor that leads to the sacristy, entered through an exquisitely carved wooden door. It is an oblong vaulted structure with an apse at the end. Alongside the walls are kept the portraits of various saints above delicately carved chest of drawers. In the altar at the apse in an iron chest containing a golden rose blessed by the Pope Pius XII and gifted to this city in 1953. At the foot of the altar is the grave of the founder of the vestry, Balthazar da Veiga who died in 1659. A painting giving a fair idea as to the state of the body of St. Xavier about a hundred years ago is displayed near the altar.
Where the Kuchcha road branches off from the road to Neura, leading to the Church and Convent of the Cross of Miracles , is a single pillar on a raised platform, which once occupied the central place in the city square, and was used for punishing offenders of the law, who were tied to it and publicly whipped.
The Pillory was in use during the Portuguese rule till the end of the 17th century. The pillar, which is of basalt, had iron rings fixed to it and from its figure and mouldings it appears that the pillar might have formed part of a Brahmanical temple.
Location : Dabolim, Vasco-Da-Gama, Goa. Origin : 19th October 1998.
History of Naval Aviation; Various Aircrafts, Weapons, Sensors, Safety Equipments, Rare Photographs Depicting Goa's Liberation And Artifacts.
The museum is open on all days from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm.
The Gate of Adil Shah's palace was built before the Portuguese period. It is located just left (north) of the road leading to the Church of St Cajetan. It is about 3m high. The palace of Adil Shah was a magnificent building. The Portuguese governors lived there until 1695. Over the years, the palace fell apart and was eventually demolished in 1820. Now only the gate remains which is architecturally purely Brahminical in style. Six steps in front of the gate lead to the raised platform on which the gate stands. It is made of basalt and consists of a horizontal lintel resting on pillars decorated with mouldings and having on the outer side fragmentary perforated screens.
The College of St. Paul, once the main institution of Jesuits in India for imparting knowledge on Christianity, was built over the ruins of a mosque south of St. Cajetan's church at Old Goa in 1542. However, it was abandoned during the outbreak of plague in 1570 and went into disuse. The Government demolished this ruining composition in 1832 to carry materials for building construction in Panaji. What remains of the college that was done in 1542 and of the collegiate church consecrated on 25 January 1543 is the façade in the shape of an arch with a niche at the top and a cross crowning it. The arch that led to the College as a gateway is built of laterite, flanked on either side by a basalt column of the Corinthian order on raised plinth, and supported by basalt pilasters of the Doric order.

Timing is everything and that is especially true when it comes to catching special moments with photography. Photographs are also said to tell a thousand words, and when they’re snapped at just the right time, those thousand words are all very exciting. Great things happen in sports all the time, and they often happen at lightning speed. If a clever photographer can get a shot at just the right millisecond, they will be left with an epic shot showcasing one of the coolest moments in sport’s history. Here are 20 photos whose timing was too good to be true.
It looks like half a fight move and half a dance move, but either way the results are hilarious…. but also probably painful.
It looks like this volleyball team had a great spike with that football, but too bad they’re on a court and not a football field.
The unfortunate timing of this photo resulted in these guys looking like they were doing something in public that probably should have been saved for a private moment.
Not sure which sport this guy is playing right now, but it looks physically exhausting, so we can probably eliminate “golf” from the possibilities.

Normally, the residents of Pai expect some small amount of flooding to occur each rainy season. Some guesthouse owners even purposely build their bamboo huts in the 1-year flood plain and close for business during each rainy season, knowing that occasionally the flood will come and knock away a hut or two (at a cost of about 15,000B or $375 each) but the tradeoff—a quiet, lovely riverside location—is well worth it.
Well, 2005 was the season to break all assumptions. On August 13th, 2005, and again on September 28th, 2005, there were two massive floods which caused more damage than has been seen in many decades. I returned to Pai from a two-month trip on October 11th, 2005 and wrote this report as I marveled at the power of nature. Luckily, my house and possessions were spared, but many locals lost their home or their entire business.
This flood-related page is part of my general page about Pai, which you might want to read if you are not familiar with the area.
Other downtown businesses also got their share of water flowing in or by. Fortunately, most of Pai either had no effect or had a few weeks of mud-shoveling to do. Unfortunately, the heavily affected areas with structure damage include around half of the guesthouses in Pai (both budget and high-end) because those are the areas with a nice river view.
Those areas which were affected are rebuilding at an astounding pace. Although their loss was great, and although few, if any, people here have insurance for their structures, many guesthouses and restaurants have already found a way to start rebuilding and expect to be back in business by November or December.
So, Pai is very much still open for tourism business now and will be able to accept a good chunk of its former volume by December.
The two floods, precipitated by days of rain, caused the rivers to engorge and widen, eating up anything on the river banks, be it wood, metal, or concrete. The August 13th flood was particularly nasty because the water was thick with mud and with huge, heavy debris which acted like battering rams to anything in its path. In the Sep 20th flood, the rivers rose to a higher level, but there was not so much mud and debris.
Reports on the number of fatalities in the Pai valley vary greatly from the official figure of 2 (and 15 in all of Mae Hong Son province) to much higher unofficial estimates. No foreigners are reported to have died in the Pai valley floods.
Many guesthouses are just completely gone, and in many places, lush green bamboo-hut-filled fields bordering narrow river chutes have been replaced by 30-meter-wide, shallow, muddy watery expanses surrounded by another 20 meters of lifeless mud and sand, littered with trees, major appliances, and giant boulders carried from kilometers away. The flood deposited so much mud that in some places, the elevation of the ground near the river actually rose several meters.
along with all of its neighbors.
Notice how the mud has risen up the foundation poles. During the flood, the water went far past this point, all the way up to the street, inundating businesses on the yellow part of the map above.
Interesting note: the owners of Rimtaling guesthouse, upper right, moved their entire guesthouse and renamed it the Paddy Field guesthouse on higher ground above town, about one month before the floods. But all other structures you see in this set of photos were toppled or removed by nature. The Rimtaling owners will be applying for the position of town psychics.
Mink, the owner of Yawning Fields pictured in my general page about Pai, is likely to build a smaller guesthouse up near Paddy Field this season, as her structures were also almost completely wiped out.
In the pictures above you can clearly see how the river carried not only mud, but an unending supply of random debris, from broken bottles, food items, toiletries and hardware products on display at shops inundated along the path, to whole trees, boulders, appliances, and in some cases cars.
This is what made the post-flood situation so dangerous. If your foot and/or leg dropped into deep mud, you could never be sure what it would scrape on the way down. Bringing this point home, the whole area of Pai around the Mae Gawn stream mud debris took on that unmistakeable rotting smell of a trash dump.
The flooding affected the large Pai and Khong rivers, but there was a particularly huge amount of water, mud, and debris in the formerly tiny Huay Mae Gawn stream (which for some reason Chiang Mai City life is calling the Huay Muang Kron).
This stream runs down the mountains along the North-Western wall of the Pai valley past the Kuo Min Dong (Jiin Haw) Chinese village and the Lisu village of Nam Huu, winds around past the road leading to Pai Hospital, passes through the Wednesday Market area of downtown Pai, makes a stop at the Lucky Bar, and finally empties into the Pai river.
The unstoppable force of the river carved a great gash through this part of the valley, carrying boulders larger than cars and littering the area with dead trees.
Minor Note: we're not sure, but one short scene in the middle of this movie, where the river is pushing a giant tree and two trucks across the road, could be either Nam Huu or it could be the pump station outside downtown Pai near what is now Yoma hotel (used to be a gas station). The rest of the movie is certainly the Nam Huu area, however.
Above you can see the temporary wood and steel bridge erected over the gash. The Wednesday Market area itself got very wet and muddy but is otherwise undamaged. They have temporarily moved the whole Wednesday Market across town.
The Thai equivalent of the "fire department" or "national guard" were nowhere to be seen until days later. For some reason the police station was particularly badly hit.
The whole scene was caught on video by at least two different videographers, who then sold glitzy edited versions of the whole catastrophe on VCD in Pai and in Chiang Mai. Some of the VCDs had special effects and ecological musical soundtrack (including a custom-made song from a well-known folk singer about messing with the forest in Pai) and cost between 100-200B (USD $2.50-$5.00). The Thais do not apparently see anything wrong with this economic activity and are interested in seeing more of the catastrophe they just experienced.
Here are some scenes from places outside of town that happened to be near the flooding rivers.
As of July 6th, 2006, some of the former riverside guesthouses have relocated to higher ground, but about half of the guesthouses have sprung up again, including a seriously ugly yellow tower-like series of concrete condominiums, and an inexplicably densely-packed cluster of bamboo huts that almost lean into the water, taunting the river to come tear them away.
For the last 2-3 months, all along the river in both directions, people had paid lots of money for weeks of work in which 6-7 giant bulldozers scooped mud out of the river and deposited and patted down two 4m-wide, dirt-road-like river banks. The Pai River laughed at that and erased their work in a matter of hours.
Not to be fazed by something as trivial as futility, as of July 21st, they're at it again (you can see one bulldozer in the image above, cutting a curved U-shaped canal through the formerly flooded field in an attempt to carry the water...where?).
In another futile gesture that's more ritual than tactical, they've also started to pile sandbags along the river, though only in certain places and only about 1m high. The water will easily top this level in even a trivial flood. One cool thing is how they link the bags together by stabbing them with bamboo poles!
Although this particular flood was not even close to the level of the 2005 floods described in the rest of this document (for example, water did not actually go up into town), it has everyone thinking: "here we go again?"

A continuous cascade of information comes through this PowerPoint on biotechnology. The topic is defined, a history is presented, and basic genetic engineering techniques are explained. The topic is covered in an objective manner, although the final slide assigns viewers to develop an argument for or against human cloning. The material is occasionally supplemented with photos or graphics, but they are somewhat grainy. This could possibly be of use for your high school or college biotechnology unit.
In this biology worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 23 questions on biotechnology. They identify the benefits and ethical issues about biotechnology.
In this biotechnology and the human body worksheet, students fill in the blank with information about the advances of biotechnology as it relates to gene therapy.

AAYE is a non-profit making and apolitical organization created on 03/03/2013 by a restricted group of young researchers and expert Africans. This institution is destined to implant an international network of young African economists to encourage the development of the continent through collaboration and scientific publications.
The objective of the association is to provoke, favour and promote the evolution and diffusion of science, techniques, practices, procedures and scientific research realisations by every appropriate means. Otherwise said, it intends to be a weapon of the dissemination of scientific approaches.
- help improve their effectiveness, for instance by developing all useful contacts in their benefit.
- And, more generally, undertake any action susceptible to contribute to the object of the association or to facilitate the realization.
The Association consists of several categories of members: founding members, Honorary members, Active members, Associate Members, Donor Members, benefactor members, Corresponding Members, all having accepted the Statutes of the Association.
The Members of the Association can be physical persons or moral persons.
2.1. The pioneer members are physical persons who have contributed directly to the constitution and to the creation of the Association. The list of the pioneer members is established from the launch of the association.
2.2. The Honorary members are scientific, industrial, political, economic, artistic, literary personalities, or the Administration, to whom this title was awarded by the pioneer members, in the name of the Association, in recognition of the exceptional services offered to the Association and more generally, to Science and Technology, or because of the support provided to the Association contributing in an eminent way to its development. Honorary members are exempted from the payment of annual contributions.
2.3. The Active Members are persons and institutions who have taken the commitment to pay their fixed annual dues every year as stipulated by the Board of directors.

The executive board rules in the conditions of majority.
The resignation, the exclusion, the death or the dissolution of a legal entity member does not terminate the association which continues to exist between the other members.

Hi there! Today’s video revisits a fun technique – – coloring texture paste.
Before the paste dried completely, I also added a pinch of Cool Highlights Glitter from Elizabeth Crafts Design. The results? Very real-Peep-like!
Oh – and that fun stitched rectangle? I created that with a My Favorite Things Inside and Out Diagonal Stitched Rectangle die. The sentiment is also from My Favorite Things – the Candy Jar Companions Stamp Set – and is heat embossed with Ranger’s Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder.
By the way, I like the My Favorite Things Dye Ink… especially when they’re “juicy” and well-inked. I usually do not reink my dye ink pads but this one I do (every 6 months or so). And the reinkers are affordable! One big perk of this ink: it is easy to clean off stamp, leaving little-to-no transfer of the previous ink.
Comparison of embossing paste and texture paste – I like both and recommend both.
Interested in the products I used? To make them easy for you to find, I have listed them below. (Affiliate and product disclosure can be found here. Thanks for the stamps, MFT!) Click on the letters below each picture to go to a favorite store: Simon Says Stamp (SSS), Ellen Hutson (EH), Amazon (AZ), My Favorite Things (MFT), etc.
My last card was a sympathy card and hope not to need another one for a very long time.
I made a card last night using lawn fawn “get well soon set and then mini one as well”. It was a card that I layered the words get well soon the die cut letters and then took the bandaid stamp and cover the background of the card stock and then stuck the letters in the middle of the card.
I finished the tops of the letters with glossy accents, to give them a pop!
The most recent card I made was a sweet Thank You card for my aunt! Nothing like a hand-made, hand-written note of appreciation!
The theme of my last card was Birthday. My niece turned 17 years old last week and I made her a card that said “You are a Fabulous Work of Art” and then inside it had a pretty Birthday Sentiment. She Loved it!
Yeah another idea for using my paste….Love these peeps.
My last card was a birthday theme for my godson. I have another birthday card to get done but you have inspired me to do a few Easter cards first.
This is super cute! The last card was a set of birthday cards for a family friend.
The theme of my last card was Easter, which I am planning on sending to my niece. Thank you so much for all your videos, they teach me so much!
The theme of my last card was Thank You that I made to send my out of state Mother-in-law as a follow up to our visit this past weekend. I just discovered your site for the first time to today, and I really am impressed!!!
The last card I made was a birthday card with an underwater, crazy-fish theme. Very colorful.
Those peeps look almost good enough to eat. Very cute.
The last card I made was a birthday card!
The last card I made was a Christmas one … I was supposed to be making at least 1 a week, but so far my tally is 5!
The theme of my last card (made on Saturday) was birthday — for my cousin’s 4th birthday! I cut out a layered bird image using my Silhouette Cameo and then used sketch pens to write “Happy Bird-day Amelia” on the front of the card. It was a very easy, straightforward card that made a BIG impact with the birthday girl!
Sadly enough it was a sympathy card. I used your technique of stretching my dies and made a leafy border on one side – a very peaceful card.
My last card was “Beauty on the Inside” made with my SSS card kit of the month!!
The theme of my last card was a birthday card, it is part of a one sheet wonder pack of cards I made.
I made a BD card for a man with a postage theme.
My last card was a congratulations card. Not sure if I like it.
The last one I did was for my cousin’s birthday so the theme was Birthday but masculine. I used several spellbinders dies that I had that have a sword, a shield and a rampant lion. I put them all with foam dots after painting them over a card that was embossed and inked to look like leather. I even put tiny jewels on the pommel of the sword and on the top of the shield. It looked sooo cool.
Gotta loves those peeps. My grown kids would get a kick out of that card. They always wanted Peeps for Easter. I don’t care for them, myself. The theme of my last card was snowflakes that I made for a challenge. Using the resist embossing technique with water colors.
The last card I made was a birthday card for my Uncle! I’m trying out Silhouette sketch pens to write sentiments so I used that as my sentiment and it turned out wonderful!
My last card project was a sympathy card for a friend at my church.

My last card was a new baby girl congrats. 🙂 I love the way the bunnies on your card turned out; the texture is perfect.
They look good enough to eat. Such a beat idea. .
I made a cute birthday card with a princess on it (Technique Tuesday) . My sons gave it to one of their school friends.
My last card was for my 5 year old daughter so the theme was basically “glittery sparkly unicorns”. LOL. But no princesses – she’s anti-princess.
Theme of my last card was birthday!
The theme of my last card I made was ” hello, you are totally awesome!” I make cards for a co-worker who is a “Soldier’s Angel”, sending cards to soldiers enlisted in the Armed Forces.
Thanks for video! Rabbits are so cute!
My last card was a “thinking of you” theme that I sent to a friend, for no particular reason. It’s just been a while since we’ve seen each other and she was on my mind. I think they are my favourite type of card to send, because who doesn’t love to get a card in the mail, for no reason?
Oh my goodness, those little bunny peeps are the cutest ever! Love the colored texture paste! The last two cards I made were sympathy cards for the family of a 98 year old woman. She loved flowers and birds, so I went with that theme and hope that the family gains comfort from my thoughts.
The last card I made had a theme of “thanks”! Thanks for the chance to win this cute set!
The last card I made was a sunshine/Spring card for my daughter. She’s away at school and it was really cold and snowy in her part of the state.
I would love to try this medium. Looks like you can do interesting things with it.
I love all you techniques….
I did not like working with glitter. But with all the cool ideas like the Swiffer and the tape I will definitely begin using it. I love the look of the latest happy card. The tips and tricks are so awesome it truly inspires me to use all those products I pay so much for.

Cabilla Manor Wood lies about 7 kilometres north-east of Bodmin on the southern edge of the Bodmin Moor granite mass, and is bisected by the Warleggan River.
To the west of the river, Cabilla Tor surmounts the steep, wooded granite scree or “clitter” slope on which coppiced, ancient sessile oak Quercus petraea woodland is dominant. Cascades of great woodrush Luzula sylvatica form the bulk of the ground flora which includes heather Calluna vulgaris, bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus, wood anemone Anemone nemorosa, wood-sorrel Oxalis acetosella and common cow-wheat Melampyrum pratense. Ferns are abundant and include scaly male fern Dryopteris affinis, broad buckler fern D.dilatata, lady fern Athyrium filix-femina and hard fern Blechnum spicant. Of particular note is the presence of Wilson’s filmy-fern Hymenophyllum wilsonii and Tonbridge filmy-fern H.tunbrigense on wet rock overhangs. Forty-six species of moss have been recorded including the locally rare Atrichum undulatum and the first record for Cornwall of Pohlia muyldermansii.
The woodland to the east of the river is also dominated by sessile oak, but has some ash Fraxinus excelsior and beech Fagus sylvatica amongst the canopy, and has been less extensively coppiced in the past. The epiphytes ivy Hedera helix and polypody Polypodium vulgare are abundant on the trees. The deeper soils here support an understorey of hazel Corylus avellana, hawthorn Crataegus monogyna and holly Ilex aquifolium with occasional rowan Sorbus acuparia and guelder rose Viburnum opulus. The ground flora consists largely of bramble Rubus fruticosus, honeysuckle Lonicera periclymenum and bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta with occasional hart’s-tongue Phyllitis scolopendrium and the uncommon lemon-scented fern Oreopteris limbo-sperma. Alongside the river, in wet hollows and flushes, are scattered grey willow Salix cinerea and alder Alnus glutinosa with hemlock water-dropwort Oenanthe crocata, opposite-leaved golden saxifrage Chrysosplenium oppositifolium, meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria and common valerian Valeriana officinalis.
The river itself is structurally diverse with boulders, riffles, pools and overhanging banks, and is a breeding site for large red damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula and broad-bodied chaser Libellula depressa. Otter Lutra lutra spraint has recently been found on the river banks.
A disused quarry and mine now support gorse Ulex europaeus, silver birch Betula pendula and grey willow scrub. This area is of significance for its fauna. Buzzard Buteo buteo and raven Corvus corax nest on ledges on the cliffed quarry faces and small numbers of four species of bat use the complicated underground mine system. These are greater horseshoe Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, lesser horseshoe R. hipposideros, Daubenton’s Myotis daubentonia and brown long-eared Plecotus auritus bats.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - A missing elderly man was found Monday night walking to the senior living center where his wife resides.
A community-wide alert went out Monday evening after 87-year-old Ray Austin went missing from the Broadmoor Court assisted living center near South Nevada and Cheyenne Road. Austin had last been seen shortly before 2 p.m. and there were concerns for his safety, as he suffers from stage one dementia.
A representative with Bethesda Senior Living Communities, which operates Broadmoor Court, told 11 News that police located Austin just up the road from Brookdale Skyline, where he once lived with his wife.
"This individual was found by CSPD last night, less than 1/4 mile from the senior living community (Brookdale Skyline) where his wife still reside [sic], walking towards her community. He recently moved from Brookdale Skyline (Independent Living) to our Assisted Living community," said Regional Vice President of Operations Joshua Thomas in a short statement to 11 News.
Brookdale Skyline is located west of 21st Street and Lower Gold Camp Road. Austin had walked more than 5 miles to his wife's home.

The Virginia Beach Rescue Squad is now equipped to respond to pets in emergency situations.
“While people will always come first, we recognize our pets are very dear to us,” says Ellen McBride, proud member of the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad at Station 14.
On Saturday, August 3, The Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad, Station 14 held a ceremony to announce that all of its emergency vehicles will now feature pet oxygen masks – thanks to a donation from the Invisible Fence Brand of Hampton Roads.
An estimated 40,000 – 150,000 pets die each year in fires, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Invisible Fence Brand, through its Project Breathe initiative, has donated more than 2,000 pet oxygen kits to first responders throughout the country with the goal of reducing that statistic, city officials say.
“So we know this is going to be an excellent thing for the community because on each and every one of these ambulances that serve the area, there’s going to be a pet oxygen mask. So not only will the rescue squad be there for the people, but they will be there for their pets,” says Wayne Gilbert, Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center.
The Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad now has ten kits – enough to outfit all of their emergency vehicles.
Each kit includes a small, medium, and large mask, all specially designed to fit a dog or cat’s muzzle and effectively deliver oxygen.
