Here are some more cartoons related to Donald Trump.
Just for fun, I made this alternative bonus panel to this comic, to show how altering one small detail can change the entire meaning of a comic.

Dark tourism is a topic of increasing interest, but it is poorly understood when considering its significance for mainstream and commercial tourism. This paper investigates the significance of dark tourism in the top ten most visited European tourist cities and proposes a dark tourism index for Europe’s tourism cities. Data was collected from the websites of the cities’ Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) using a content analysis methodology, based on keywords related to dark tourism taken from the research literature in this area. Descriptive statistics were produced and the variance between the frequencies of keywords related to each city was analysed for statistical significance. These results were then used to construct a darkness ranking of the cities. There are significant differences in the extent to which dark tourism products and services are promoted by the DMOs of Europe’s top ten most visited European cities. The ranking of cities by darkness does not correspond to the ranking by visitor numbers, and further qualitative analysis suggests that that the ranking is also independent of the actual presence of dark sites within the destination. This implies that European city DMOs are engaging with the emerging dark tourism market with to varying degrees. The purposive sample of ten cities can be extended in future research to increase the validity of the findings of this paper. A further limitation is the selection of keywords for content analysis, which have been developed following the literature review contained below. Future research could develop an extended list of keywords using a systematic review process. This paper shows that it is possible to create a ranking of tourist cities in terms of their darkness, and that this methodology could be extended to a much larger sample size. This links dark tourism research to the urban tourism literature and also offers possibilities for creating a global ranking that could be used by destinations to judge their success in engaging with the dark tourism market, as well as by tour operators seeking to develop products for the same market. This paper will offer DMO's and others the opportunity to hone their tourism products more effectively in a way which offers a better understanding of tourism, and therefore provides for better management of its issues. Dark tourism is a growing niche area of study, and this paper seeks to provide a framework to better understand supply-side aspects of it. | 2019-04-23T06:37:03 | https://kar.kent.ac.uk/64290/ |
If anyone's been wondering, the little monkeys wandering around my gallery are from episode 22 of Clamp Campus Detectives. I've always been fond of marmosets, and the ones in this show are just too cute. There are a bunch of screencaptures from the episode on my Pygmy Marmoset Page.(Warning, that page has spoilers for episode 22.) I now have one marmoset cel, but as you might guess from the marmoset density on my page, I'm still enthusiastically looking for more. They must be out there somewhere! Either cels with both marmosets and humans, or just marmosets alone would be great.
I'm also interested in other nice Clamp Campus Detectives cels. I'm particularly looking for cels of Suoh in his red-and-white baseball uniform, or his Japanese archery uniform. A cel of either the regular or penguin-shaped student council blimp would also be quite cool.
In general, I'm likely to be interested in any "special" CCD cels like OP/ED, oversized, backgrounded, omake, hanken mono (hey, I can dream, can't I?), etc.
I'm looking in particular to get one really nice cel of Kenshin, either happy or looking scary and battousai-ish.
I also really want a cel of Kenshin and Kaoru together.
Perhaps more realistically, I'm looking for nice cels of Sano, especially with Megumi or Sayo, and Kaoru, especially in her fighting outfit. I'd also like cels of other characters who I don't have yet, and I could stand to have a nicer cel of Misao.
The above were all TV wishes, but I'm also really looking for cels from the OAVs. In particular, I'd love to find cels of Tomoe, Saitoh, and Hiko Seijuro, but I'm also very interested in good Kenshin cels.
From the TV series, I'm particularly looking for cels of Arisugawa Jury. She is my favorite Utena character, and one of my all-time favorite anime characters. If only cels of her were a bit easier to find!
I'm also looking for nice cels of Utena; in particular I'd like a really nice close-up face-forward shot of her in any outfit. I'm also looking for cels of her duelling in which she doesn't look too distorted by action, and group cels of her with other characters.
Other characters I'm looking for (should any happen to wander into my price range) include Akio, Dios, and Saionji. I'd love to have more Wakaba, as well as any nice backgrounded cels.
From the movie, I'm once again looking desperately for Jury, but what I particularly want is a nice face-forward shot, preferably fairly close-up (not easy to find given the style of the movie). I'm also looking for a nice cel of Utena with her hair down, a nice Anthy, and any Touga, Miki, Shadow-play Girls, or Saionji.
Sigh...I've gone and fallen in love with another show whose cels are often rare and expensive. How _do_ I do it? :-) I've made a little screencap gallery of the characters to help with telling who's who. In general I realize that Rose of Versailles cels are very prone to line-fading due to their age and the preponderance of yellow and light brown paint colors. I can live with moderate fading, but not the "invisible eyes" sort.
I'm pretty much looking for any of the characters in that gallery, but in particular, I'm looking for good cels of Oscar, especially when she is older, as in the screencap. Any outfit or uniform is good, and group cels of her with Antoinette, André, or Fersen would be great, as would cels of her on a horse, even if they are somewhat distant.
I'm also really looking for nice cels of André, both long-haired and short-haired versions, any outfit.
A nice Fersen cel would be great, even better if he is with Oscar or Antoinette. I'm also looking for Antoinette by herself, but particularly for something nicely close-up, preferably with one of her more elaborate hairstyles.
Another new love, and fortunately a somewhat easier and less expensive one to fulfill, though naturally I'm fond of the most coveted characters. :-) My search is also made more difficult by the fact that as far as I can tell all the cels from the original LoGH OAV series were used as flooring at the studio for several years before being hurled for distance into crowds of ravening fans looking for something to hang in their gym lockers. Possibly this is a slight exaggeration, but I'm not convinced.
Anyway, I am looking first and foremost for cels of Siegfried Kircheis (curly red hair, Galactic Empire). I'd prefer cels from the original OAV series rather than the side stories, but either would be good. I'm especially looking for cels of him with Reinhard von Lohengramm (blonde hair of varying length, Galactic Empire), as well of cels of either/both of them when they were children/young men. I'll try to get some images up for this section soon, but until then Logh.net has a great character guide with thumbnails.
I'm also looking for nice (and as undamaged as possible) cels of Yang Wen-Li (dark blue hair, Free Planets Alliance).
Among the women, I'd like to find cels of Jessica Edwards (shoulder-length curly blonde hair), Reinhard's sister Annerose (long straight blonde hair), and Frederica Greenhill (short blonde hair, Free Planets Alliance).
Besides the above, I'm sort of looking for cels of, well, everyone, :-) with a preference for cels from the original OAV series.
A cel from one of the sepia-tone flashback sequences or the "falling out the window" scene from episode 5 would be great, too.
Irresponsible Captain Tylor: Tylor himself, Dom, TV preferred.
Patlabor: Nagumo, Goto, Kanuka, any version, though something from Patlabor 2 would be way cool.
Fushigi Yuugi TV: Hotohori, Tamahome in his black-and-yellow outfit, Nakago, Tama the cat.
Sailor Moon: Haruka/Sailor Uranus, especially with Michiru/ Sailor Neptune, and _especially_ on, with, or near a motorcycle. Setsuna/Sailor Pluto, any outfit.
Rayearth: Nice OAV Eagle, first-season TV Ferio, first-season TV Umi, group of Magic Knights from TV.
Trigun: Nicholas D. Wolfwood, especially with cross and _especially_ with motorcycle.
You're Under Arrest: OAV cels, especially Natsumi and/or Miyuki.
Kimagure Orange Road: Madoka, Jingoro, Kurumi and Manami. Mainly if something in particular appeals to me.
Animals: Soichiro the dog from Maison Ikkoku, Sano's dog from Rurouni Kenshin, cute monkeys from anywhere.
Motorcycles: The aforementioned Haruka and Wolfwood, plus You're Under Arrest characters, Priss from Bubblegum Crisis OAV, and anyone else with a cool bike. | 2019-04-24T16:27:18 | http://www202.pair.com/~atiya/WishList.html |

Spirent TestCenter : How to create multiple IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation messages using Raw Streamblocks?
When there are many IPv6 neighbors, Neighbor Discovery could take a lot of time to process in TestCenter.
Work Around is to use raw streams and create a Neighbor Solicitation message.
We can't use the normal IPv6 Neighbor Solicitation to generate multiple messages due to the checksum decrements and there is no modifier for the checksum.
So we need to create a custom packet.
We can do a capture of the first ND to get a baseline, then create the custom packet as described below.
1. First start off with a normal NS packet to get the corresponding capture.
4. Now create a Custom Header under the IPv6 Header instead of the ND.
5. Paste the copied bytes from the Wireshark capture as custom header content.
Then we want to decrement the value, the value we start with is the value we got from the first packet in the capture with the good checksum.
The IPv6 Header Source address RangeModifier count should be the same as the the Custom Header Modifier count.
Be aware to set the IPv6 next header to ICMP and of possible other changes such as using Target Link Layer instead of Source that may be needed for your specific test. | 2019-04-25T10:49:38 | https://support.spirent.com/SpirentCSC/SC_KnowledgeView?Id=FAQ12310 |
get the f@#* outta here!
i once worked for a guy who used to drop f-bombs on the regular. i found it jarring and offensive so i asked him, politely, not to use that language when speaking to me. he stopped.
maybe you think it’s funny, or you and the boss are tight like that so you’re comfortable sharing expletives, or maybe the boss is just the expressive type. what’s the big deal, its harmless, right?
dropping the f-bomb or other expletives, shouldn’t be how you communicate in the work place. it’s inappropriate, can be offensive to others, and just down right unprofessional.
unless you’re in a profession where it’s part of normal business practice, or if you’ve found yourself accepting an oscar award and in the excitement you accidently let it slip, leave the potty-mouth for outside the office.

James Lind was a Scottish doctor. He was a pioneer of naval hygiene in the Royal Navy. By conducting one of the first ever clinical trials, he developed the theory that citrus fruits cured scurvy. He argued for the health benefits of better ventilation aboard naval ships, the improved cleanliness of sailors' bodies, clothing and bedding, and below-deck fumigation with sulphur and arsenic. He also proposed that fresh water could be obtained by distilling sea water. His work advanced the practice of preventive medicine and improved nutrition.
A vitamin is an organic molecule (or related set of molecules) that is an essential micronutrient that an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in the organism, either at all or not in sufficient quantities, and therefore must be obtained through the diet. Vitamin C can be synthesized by some species but not by others; it is not a vitamin in the first instance but is in the second. The term vitamin does not include the three other groups of essential nutrients: minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids. Most vitamins are not single molecules, but groups of related molecules called vitamers. For example, vitamin E consists of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. The thirteen vitamins required by human metabolism are: vitamin A (as all-trans-retinol, all-trans-retinyl-esters, as well as all-trans-beta-carotene and other provitamin A carotenoids), vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid or folate), vitamin B12 (cobalamins), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin D (calciferols), vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols), and vitamin K (quinones).
Kazimierz Funk, commonly anglicized as Casimir Funk, was a Polish biochemist, generally credited with being among the first to formulate the concept of vitamins, which he called "vital amines" or "vitamines".
A lime is a citrus fruit, which is typically round, green in color, 3–6 centimetres (1.2–2.4 in) in diameter, and contains acidic juice vesicles.
Charles Alan Blake Clemetson FRCOG, FRCSC, FACOG was a medical doctor, scientist and researcher who published over 48 medical papers and a three-volume monograph, Vitamin C. During his hospital and teaching career he specialised in obstetrics and gynecology. After retirement in 1991 he devoted his time to researching and publishing papers on Barlow's disease, hypothesizing this to be a cause of shaken baby syndrome.

The neurotensin receptors from rat brain synaptosomal membranes differed in subunit structure from those in rat gastric fundus smooth muscle plasma membranes when studied following photoaffinity labelling or after exposure to cross-linking reagents. However, these two receptors were similar in their recognition properties. In this study we compared the target size of the two receptors by radiation inactivation and observed that the receptors in both tissues had similar target sizes (mean values 103,000 and 108,000 daltons). This suggests that the differences in size observed in biochemical studies may reflect changes occurring during the isolation procedures, or, on the other hand, there might be inherent difference in the subunit structure of these receptors. | 2019-04-24T00:48:38 | https://experts.mcmaster.ca/display/publication216132 |
We were first introduced to Nebula, played by Karen Gillan, in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Like Gamora, she was an adopted daughter of the mad titan Thanos, choosing Ronan’s side over that of her sister’s new team. Though all the Guardians are scoundrels in their own way, Nebula was basically pure evil in the first film, murdering everyone she could before retreating after being beaten by her sister.
Nebula returns this May in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and her role has been expanded past villainous henchwoman. On the first teaser poster she was portrayed as part of the team… “Obviously.” But what could possibly drive her to put her hatred for Gamora and her pals on hold?
That’s a nice change of pace. Instead of fighting to help the main villain achieve his goal, this time Nebula is at odds with the baddie. We will see a new side of Nebula, one that is far more sympathetic due to her capture. Based on the trailers, by the end expect her to be a full fledged part of the team, as the enemy of her enemy is her friend. Or sister. Right?
Are you excited tosee this new take on Nebula? Or is she barely on your radar amid the sea of beloved and new characters in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits the big screen on May 5, 2017. | 2019-04-25T22:12:17 | https://lrmonline.com/news/nebulas-new-relationship-with-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2s-villain-explained/ |

One of the best ways to avoid these problems is through acai.
This fruit is originated from the Amazon and it is one of the athletes favorite fruits because of its great benefits.
The Tropical Acai is believed to be superior than the blueberry when it comes to promote health.
The acai, besides being richer in antioxidants , also brings lots of other benefits.
The cancer can be prevented and even fought by the acai, because this purple colored fruit has high concentration of anthocyanins, a natural antioxidant.
The use of Tropical Acai as a Natural antioxidant is the best choice for those who want a healthy life, preventing diseases and even rejuvenating.
If you still hadn’t taste the true Brazilian acai, directly came from the Amazon click here to experience some delicious recipes.
When combined with a good diet and exercises, the Tropical Acai can potentiate the weight loss.
Because of its great amount of fibers, this fruit can be consumed for people who want to lose weight.
Acai is great for those who want to regulate the intestinal flow eating something tasty.
The high concentration of fibers helps the body to work in the right time.
The Tropical Acai promotes health and energy.
It is the ideal kind of superfood to be used before physical activities, because it strengthens the muscles and fights the anemia, due to the iron that contains.
The antioxidants improve the body’s arteries quality. And, the Tropical Acai, having high levels of antioxidants, ensures the arteries health.
This natural antioxidant can be used as an allied in the treatment of diseases with chronic inflammations components, like asthma.
The acai has proven through researches to inhibit inflammation and pain.
Besides balancing the cholesterol levels, the acai also fights the atherosclerosis, a disease that causes hardening of the arterial walls connected to the heart.
The acai avoids the production of post-inflammatory cytokines, as we can see in a research pointed in the “Atherosclerosis “journal in 2011.
The acai contains anthocyanins that fight the LDL Cholesterol (the “bad cholesterol”).
This was demonstrated in an article for the Nutrition magazine, that addressed a research with rats treated with a high-fat diet.
The researchers gave some rats the acai pulp, and these same rats , as a final result, had a reduced cholesterol level compared with the others that didn’t receive the acai.
Besides its high levels of antioxidants, the acai also contains lots of Vitamin C, that increases our body immunity, and that is exactly what our body needs to be strong.
The acai prevents the aging due to its strength as a natural antioxidant.
Our body keeps healthy and young because of the high amounts of flavonoids and anthocyanins, which prevent the cells from degenerating.

With regard to the IPO, time now becomes a major factor in how Facebook does its many jobs. With all that money in the bank comes more pressure to get products and services created and into production faster than Facebook might prefer.
As Facebook winds down an obligatory pre-IPO road show and prepares for its first day of public stock trading May 18 as "FB" on the NASDAQ exchange, investors and potential investors are thinking way beyond just how high the stock price will jump on the first day.
Can Facebook prove its overall value and sustain profits for its backers over time?
Can its advertising model continue to evolve and find new ways to make income?
Can the company identify and penetrate new business markets?
Can the company figure out efficient ways to monetize itself in the mobile space?
How will the company continue to toe the line regarding the privacy of its users, because so much of that private information represents eventual profit for the company?
And those are only five of myriad questions. With regard to the IPO, time now becomes a major factor in how Facebook does its many jobs. With all that money in the bank comes more pressure to get products and services created and into production faster than Facebook might prefer.
What will Facebook do to make money besides selling those little right-hand column ads to numbers of businesses?
"Facebook, like the whole IT business, is just at the beginning of a lot of things," analyst Charlene Li, founder of the Altimeter Group, said May 13 on NBC Bay Area's "Press:Here." "This is a company that's only 8 years old, the advertising market in this space is maybe three or four years old.
"Just two years ago, the (online) advertising was minuscule compared to where they're at today," Li said. "If they just continue on that trajectory, they will continue to meet those expectations. And what we're seeing is that the advertisers also have a pent-up demand and appetite. Mobile has been around, but the mobile advertising market hasn't."
One example is that Facebook recently signed a deal to help Apple sell more applications from its AppStore. Other partnerships are said to be in the hopper.
"The biggest issue isn't so much the app experience and the user experience as it is that they're shifting people away from a very lucrative space, the Web platform, into a mobile platform where they can't advertise, which is the adjustment they highlighted in their S-1," Li said.
Facebook on May 9 filed the sixth amendment to its S-1 filing with the SEC for its IPO, acknowledging the new challenges of monetizing advertising on mobile devices, which have much less virtual real estate to sell than laptops, desktops or even tablets.
The company addressed the concerns that have been raised over the fact that more users are accessing Facebook via mobile devices, and that it is limited in the number of ads it can pass through to those users.
But Facebook will have to find other ways to utilize its power, Li said. | 2019-04-24T09:58:34 | http://www.baselinemag.com/c/a/Intelligence/Beyond-the-IPO-What-Challenges-Facebook-Will-Face-512168 |
Alex read chemistry at the University of Bristol (2003-06) before pursuing a PhD with Prof. Dudley Shallcross and Dr Alistair Manning on numerical modelling of atmospheric dispersion and degradation of trace gases. Alex came to Cambridge in 2009 to work with Prof. John Pyle as an NCAS-climate postdoc, working on the UM-UKCA chemistry-climate model. After spending a few months in Boulder, Colorado, working at NCAR with Dr Jean-Francois Lamarque Alex then took up a lectureship position in the Department of Chemistry. A position co-funded by NCAS-climate.
Alex's research interests are in trying to understand the role that atmospheric chemistry plays within the Earth system. This ranges from understanding the effects of changes on composition to radiative forcing, to understanding the fundamental causes for changes in the composition of the atmosphere.

Most WWW clients are built on top of libwww, the WWW Common Library, which handles the different communication protocols used in the Web, namely HTTP, FTP, Gopher, News and WAIS.
The entire proxy support is handled automatically for clients using the libwww. Environment variables are used to control the library. There is an individual environment variable for each access protocol; e.g. http_proxy, ftp_proxy, gopher_proxy and wais_proxy. These variables are set to the URL pointing to the proxy server that is supposed to serve requests of that protocol, e.g.
Usually the proxy server is the same for all the protocols, but does not have to be.
When the environment variable for a given protocol is set, the libwww code causes a connection to always be made to the proxy rather than directly to the remote server. Some clients also provide additional means of configuring the client to use a proxy server (e.g. Mosaic for X can use X resources and Mosaic for Windows uses settings in its initialization file).
The latest (as of April 1994) libwww (version 2.15) also supports an exception list so clients don't have to always go through the proxy. This is useful for avoiding the proxy for local servers where the clients can make a direct connection.
Another difference in the protocol between the client and the proxy is that the requested URL has to be a full URL when it is requested from the proxy server. These are the only differences between a normal and proxied HTTP transaction. The simplicity of proxy support in a Web client means that even clients not based on libwww can easily support the proxy.
Proxy support is implemented only for HTTP/1.0 on the server side so clients must use that protocol. This is not a problem because libwww does this automatically, and most clients (if not all) have already been upgraded to use HTTP/1.0. | 2019-04-26T07:55:01 | http://semi-retired.com/kevin_altis/papers/Proxies/ClientSide.html |
The Wild Rose Village Board listened to a Waste Management proposal regard-ing recyclable item carts during a March 4 meeting.
Waste Management has initiated the same program in other communities where bigger containers are furnished to the residents who can put commingled recyclables items in to be placed on the streets for pickup every other week.
There will be no charge to the village for the bigger containers as long as the village street department powerwashes them. An agreement was made on the issue and information will be given to residents regarding the service.
A representative of McMahon’s spoke to the board regarding the DNR discharge permit being up for renewal. There will be additional compliance for ammonia limits at sewage treatment plants. | 2019-04-20T04:52:08 | https://www.wausharaargus.com/news-government/wild-rose-receives-info-recyclable-carts |
I'm currently doing some contract work that involves developing hardware to plug into an iPod device. Of course, we're inevitably having problems getting the MFi license needed to talk directly to the iPod, so for the short term, We need a different solution.
We decided to develop the hardware to talk over RS-232, which can be fed into an iPod using the Redpark Serial Adapter. This is a pretty neat little device; selectable speeds up to 57.6k baud (a little slow, but fine for telemetry), comes with a whole SDK to easily integrate into your app, and comes with a loopback test dongle.
Of course, having our hardware talk over RS-232 instead of straight TTL serial has the disadvantage that RS-232 has no provisions for power. Batteries were a no-go, but we thought it would be possible to maybe "harvest" the needed power for our 3.3V electronics off of the RS-232 data lines coming from the iPod. This is risky, since many RS-232 adapters cut corners and take liberal interpretations of what +5-15V actually means, so having this vampire power supply work depends on really how well this Redpark cable implements the standard.
Turns out, they implement it quite well!
Scope image of a mark-to-space edge on the RTS line. 2V / 1ms per div. Don't you love my 70's-tastic Tek 468?
An RTS edge again, but at 2V / 0.2μs per div to check the slew rate.
9600 baud loopback test. 2V / 1ms per div.
Looking at those images, and doing some tests with my volt meter, the Redpark puts out +6V open, 30mA dead-short, and -5.6V open, -22mA dead-short. That's a lot of power! I'm going to be able to run my electronics off the RTS line no problem. The cable also appears to implement all eight data lines, which can also be rare in cheap adapters. They even meet the slew rate spec of <30V/μs, with a slew rate of only 7.5V/μs.
So long story short, Redpark didn't cut any corners here; The signals are all implemented according to spec. The iPod connector does feel a little cheapy light, and I'm a little disappointed that their demo app is just a loop-back and signalling line test, and not something at least remotely useful like a little hyperterminal app, but the BB-9 connector feels solid, and I'm certainly not longer apprehensive about building our project on this product.
Hey Kenneth. First-timer on your blog but this is a great post and yes the 70's-tastic scope is awesome and reminds me all too well of my under-funded EE college days (late 90's era). And it's great to know that I can power stuff from RTS (thanks).
I have just started my own redPark adventure in an effort to save some time for a customer-demanded hardwired interface. So far... meh. Before I nag, let me say that I am a very experienced iOS and hardware dev. I've done iOS external accessory interfaces before yet only over bluetooth.
And I agree, their demo app is very polished but egregiously useless. I can't believe they shipped a loopback adapter for that. I wish they would have instead put that cash into making a useful app. So today I made my own hyperTerminal companion app just to get things going.
I am finding that even with the default 9600/8/N/1 settings, that what I send from iOS isn't always what arrives to a hyperTerminal session. What is annoying is that if I wait a good few seconds before sending one single character/UInt8*, the cable mostly works. But if f I get "crazy" and add more characters, then they don't always arrive like they were sent. For instance, the number 5 sent from iOS will show up as a 5 90% of the time, and then eventually it turns into a 7 or some other random character that I can't even replicate here.
Sigh. This was day one and perhaps a gender-changer adapter that I'm using is the culprit. But I'd like to know how you are doing at this point?
My custom PCBs have come (http://i.imgur.com/X0SaH.jpg), which I'm about to post about, but the iOS software isn't part of my contract. I'll relay your concerns, and things might get real dicey next month when we start tapping the assumption that this thing actually works.
Ron has followed up with me offline that his problems were entirely on part of a faulty adapter, so my glowing review of the cable stands.
Kenneth - new to your blog as well, sounds like you are doing a similar project as I am, but mine is more of a hobby.
Ron - new to development and am trying to work on a project that uses the Redpark serial cable. Do you have any interest in sharing the hyperTerminal app code that you have developed? Seems like something you could even submit to the App Store.
I've checked another project (CADashboard), which utilized the custom version of this redpark cable. It seems, this cable creates a virtual serial port through USB pins of the connector, rather than uses a normal one.
What I'm thinking of is that both of these projects might actually not need this cable, as ipod/iphone/ipad actually has 3.3v serial port pins in its connector. What I'd like to do is to avoid this needless conversion and connect attiny2313 directly to the serial port.
Could you please share the Redpark's sdk? And, if it's not a secret, how much would it cost to develop a simple µc device and firmware with you?
@Big Guy: I believe that the Redpark cable actually communicates through the 3.3V 115k serial port, which is why it's limited to 56k (for OOB signals).
The reason why all of these projects are using the RedPark cable instead of using the 3.3V serial directly is because Apple requires you to get an MFi license before they'll let you develop hardware for iOS. These licenses are expensive and take a lot of time and effort to get, so most projects that do use it require that you jailbreak your iOS device.
I never had access to the RedPark SDK. I was hired as a hardware contractor, so they provisioned my iPod on their SDK and sent me binaries.
I typically charge $30/hr plus expenses for custom engineering work, but are currently in the last month of my undergraduate senior project, so of all the things I have enough of this quarter, spare cycles is not it. I've also about had it with supporting people on iOS projects; I end up spending a lot of time and effort on their projects before they finally figure out how incredibly difficult it is to work as a developer in an Apple environment and give up.
Sorry, didn't get email notification.
sw - skywire - is a branded version of redpark.
As far as I got it's a USB connection (probably, you can take apart that redpark cable). Or they might use USB to identify their products? But still, I can't find in that code anything that would relate to serial communications.
Who cares about MFi? All in all RedPark states that the cable is intended for hobbyists and requires jailbreak, doesn't it? Or may be utilizing a plain 3.3V level connector violates the license, while using RedPark MFi products doesn't? I'd add another reply in iPod+Arduino thread.
OOB is the out-of-band signals, which are the other 6 pins on the DB-9 connector (RTS, CTS, DTR, etc).
You do not need to jailbreak your phone to use the RedPark cable, which is the entire point. They went through all of the work and effort to get the MFi license from Apple (though I have no idea how; someone must have pictures of someone...) such that they could build this piece of hardware exposing a serial port to iOS software developers. What you can't do is then sell your application that uses RedPark's MFi license, because Apple isn't crazy enough to open the barn door that wide. Without an MFi license, you don't get access to the documentation for their magic keyed IC which must be in every licensed peripheral that does anything more than issue media center control commands (play, pause, skip, etc), which I think you can do unlicensed.
I simply have had no experience trying to talk to the 3.3V serial directly, and am not willing to risk my iPod to either jailbreaking or even simply poking around on the edge connector. I helped a group jailbreak their phones so they could use Bluetooth serial adapters with them, which may be another way to meet your needs, but again, I had nothing to do with the iOS side, but only the Bluetooth adapter and hardware development.
by the way, I didn't need any external clocks for that - it just works and works nicely from the internal rc oscillator.
This is with the iPhone jailbroken, correct?
all in all, you can't distribute apps that work with Redpark cable on non-jailbroken devices, can you?
i'm thinking which is easier - learning iOS development or replicating (simulating) the cable. still can't understand what it does. on the one hand, it seems to be sort of a usb device, which i recognized as com.southernstars.sw9a. on the other hand, you insist that it works over the serial pins. does it pass the pointer to the stream (tty.iap) internally to the application? do you think launching a usb packets capturing utility on the ipod (or even connecting the cable to the usb port of the mac, after some soldering) would help to understand how it works? is it at all possible to simulate that cable with another microcontroller? I wonder how much time would it need for the brave guys from China to cope with that task. | 2019-04-18T10:26:48 | http://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2011/08/redpark-serial-cable-electrical.html |

Last week the box with my R2 came after a long 6 month wait from pre-order. And I was not disappointed, but for one weird thing. First, it is quite a massive machine, larger than an Ultimaker 2. The 5″ touchscreen is half the front lower panel. There is a front door with a magnetic latch, unlike the C2 which has no door at all. Mechanically the R2 shares the general design layout and setup of the C2, but there are some differences. For one, there is a webcam installed on the left inner panel (looking from the front of the unit). And the heated build plate is magnetically attached but leveling screws are present which must be manually adjusted, though there is a guided process from the menu.
Unpacking was routine, and the dreaded inner door scratches people reported in early shipments were not present because there was a nice piece of plastic film protecting it.
As I completed unpacking it, I noticed that at the top of the Z screw a bearing was missing. I checked the packaging for it and could not find it. To be sure, I even searched in the electronics compartment. Thankfully this is just a press-in-place 608 skate bearing and I happen to have plenty of those around of good quality. Its purpose is to fix the end of the Z screw so it will not wobble. If you read my review of the C2 you will recall that I discovered the same bearing there to be dislodged after several hours of use.
Powering it up and after connecting to my WiFi it reported a firmware update was available so I immediately did that and waited for the process to complete. I then did the bed level adjustment and the Z height offset. Eager to get it going, I loaded the blue PLA filament it came with and started printing. And remarkably, everything worked as it should have!
So straight out of the box, plus one firmware update and it worked perfectly. I’ll get some close up pictures of the machine itself as well as some prints to show you how it does, but the default settings in Cura for PLA give fantastic results.
So now that it is several months later, how did it go? The main thing was as I started making new prints it became obvious that the Z screw had been bent in shipping or perhaps even at the factory. Long story short, Robo3D replaced the Z screw fairly quickly once I put a ticket in for warranty issues…. initially wanting me to sent it back (quite a chore) or as I suggested, just send me the part and I’ll return the dud if necessary. Well, not necessary to return it so I got it in 2 weeks and replaced it in about 1 hour’s work. Did that get things fixed? Yes, the Z banding disappeared! And it has continued to be a reliable machine though for the moment it is offline for the time being… other machines being evaluated and so forth – details to follow!
Help me keep going in 2019! | 2019-04-23T02:24:34 | https://renaissance-engineer.net/2017/07/11/robo-r2-the-bigger-cousin-to-the-c2/ |

Welcome to Led by the Book – a blog dedicated to leadership based on the Bible.
After accepting my first leadership role a few years ago, I devoured several leadership books, mining bits and pieces of truth to apply to my arsenal of skills. These books were informative and exciting to read, but it did not take long for me to notice an interesting pattern: Many of the advice and truths that these books were expounding upon came directly from the scriptures. However, the authors did not always make that fact apparent. Concepts such as servant leadership and doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, are truths that I saw in scripture, which provide all that we need for “life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3).
Why go to a middleman when I can go directly to the source? It was the apostle Paul who said to Timothy, “all scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3: 16, 17). I wanted to see what God himself had to say on leadership. How do I handle a difficult conversation with a team member or direct report? How do I coach or mentor someone who is not performing to the level of my expectations? How do I terminate someone?
The Bible provides clear instructions on all these questions and more.
I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned with you here. There are a number of leadership thinkers that I admire, and I will, on occasion, site these men’s work here at Led by the Book; however, my goal is to ultimately relate the various topics on leadership back to the Bible, the ultimate source. With that, I invite you on a journey with me, to learn and to discover.
Let’s be Led by the Book, in order to lead by the book. | 2019-04-19T10:41:21 | https://ledbythebook.com/about/about-led-by-the-book/ |
I am obsessed with the way ice is delivered. Every day, a truck or van or bike comes by with a giant block of ice. Street vendors, restaurants and individuals come up, tell the ice man how much they want and he proceeds to saw it off with a rusty saw and hand it to the customer. They then cart it off by hand, in a bag, on a bike or any other way they can. Some times they rest the ice on the ground before paying and hauling it away…and I’m sure it’s not washed before ending up in my drink!
Every day it seemed to rain, but the skies parted and beautiful weather blessed us for our three days in Angkor.
After seven months we finally started taking our malaria medicine.
Rather than carry guidebooks for each country the whole time, we find that most countries have photocopied versions of Lonely Planet country guides available for less than $4 each. They cost at least $20 at home.
I got my Cambodia Lonely Planet guidebook copy at Sadhana Forest from a friend in February, 2009. It was July 2009 when we visited Cambodia. Yet, the published date on the book was August 2009. How is that possible?
Our gas station attendant on one tuk tuk ride was a little boy.
One bus ride stopped at a side of the road fruit stall, during which most of the locals got off to shop and, in total, brought back on at least 200 pounds of jackfruits and durians.
Even paved highways are covered in dirt due to the sides of the road bleeding onto them during heavy rains.
I saw a very stern and professional army officer walking around with a little pink backpack.
Children are very rarely supervised and wander all over the place.
Cambodia has far more undeveloped countryside than the rest of Southeast Asia…as far as I’ve seen.
Most houses in the countryside are built on wood, built on stilts, have shanty stairs or ramps leading up to them but have the most beautiful roofs.
I have seen more US $2 bills in Cambodia than I ever have back at home.
Every bus we were on seemed to play a dubbed movie where a bald Asian kid fights demons and zombies by kicking and flying through the air. I find them entertaining, but the Cambodians LOVE them, laughing and cheering along the whole time.
I gave blood for the first time in my life at a Cambodian blood bank in Siem Reap. Apparently I’m A-Negative.
Giving blood was Carrie’s idea but I’m the one who walked away unscathed. She had a massive bruise and lump where the needle went in for more than a week.
More than 800 tourists a year donate blood to the clinic we went to…probably because they offer a free tee shirt. What traveler can say no to a free tee shirt?!
Many hotels have tuk tuk drivers waiting around for people to check in. They show the room then explain that they are a driver and can take the person wherever they want to go. You then become their property and they get really angry if you use anyone but them. I’m sorry, when did I become your possession?
Many bus companies sell your name to their friends at your destination, so when you get out of a bus there is someone there with your name on a sign waiting for you.
We saw some local dance and music performances, which were pretty cool.
Cambodian money uses no change, only bills.
Seriously, if you don’t understand what I’m saying, don’t nod your head and say yes and then do something else. Like when a moto driver takes you somewhere that is not your destination. It just guarantees an argument and possible non-payment.
Most prices are in dollars and ATMs only give out US Dollars. Change is given in local currency. So 1,000 riel is 25 cents. If something is $3.50, you pay $3 US and 2,000 riel. Very weird.
A tuk tuk driver that we used our first day at Angkor came and found us on our second day to make sure that we were really using bikes and not just going with someone else. Seriously, we’re not you’re property!
Despite how many streets there are and how many cars and bikes are on the road, there are amazingly few traffic lights. Still, traffic seems to flow just fine.
All gardening and manicuring at the Angkor complex is done by an army of workers. We stopped and had a drink of rice whiskey with a few of them at the end of our bike riding day.
The workers we had rice whiskey with told us that gardeners, guards and other workers at Angkor make around $25 per month for 12 hour work days and most have second jobs to make ends meet.
Cambodia is filled with kids selling all sorts of books wherever tourists go. The most popular ones are photocopied Lonely Planets, biographies of Pol Pot and tales relating to the Khmer Rouge.
The little kids at tourist stops are extremely smart and usually speak at least 4-5 languages. They also know most of the world and city capitals. All in a never-ending effort to impress tourists enough to buy their wares.
While wandering the streets of Siem Reap at night, our group was surrounded by cute little kids who all wanted to hold hands and be friendly. My hand was, of course, guarding my pocket the whole time. One girl complained that the girl holding her hand tried to slip her ring off.
Everyone is friendly until it’s time to talk money.
Every time Sportscenter comes on the TV I get excited that I might see some baseball highlights…instead I just see cricket.
Most people we talked to have great English skills…way better than anywhere else on the trip.
Finally, we got a massage from blind people in Siem Reap. Recommended by Lonely Planet and countless other travelers, it was one of the sketchiest activities ever. We went down a dark alley to a dirty building used as the massage parlor. We shared a hot and stuffy room with another couple. The masseur felt me up from head to toe to figure out my body dimensions (understandable since he’s blind).
The four massage therapists were talking to each other in Khmer the whole time and laughing. We had to put on thick hospital scrubs that were too small and made us sweat like crazy. The massage was mostly pushing down and was super painful. And, after it was over, one of the massage therapists grabbed the other’s crotch…probably to check for an erection. Even Carrie, who has had countless massages, ranks it as one of the strangest of her life. | 2019-04-20T20:19:19 | https://adventuresofagoodman.com/angkor-wat-shin-deep-mud-and-the-killing-fields-of-cambodia-this-and-that/ |
Without a doubt Hong Kong is my favourite city in the world. With so much to do and see everyday it keeps you on your toes until you are just about ready to drop. But that doesn't mean your bank balance has to as well. If you are not allured in by the consumer fever, Hong Kong can actually be done on a budget and in fact so many things can be done for freeee.
So here's my top free things to do in HK.
But be warned, Hong Kong will take you in by the heart strings and not let you go for a very very long time.
The Avenue of Stars is a 400-metre long stretch of waterside promenade along the northern side of Victoria Harbour, in front of the New World Centre at Tsim Sha Tsui. It is based on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and celebrates stars of the Hong Kong film industry such as Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Li. Honestly the best thing about it is the view across the harbour and the fresh ocean air. Walking alone the promenade you feel a mix of excitement for a city yet with an atmosphere of a seaside town. Do the walk in the day and at night.
Hidden in lush hills and wedged between shining skyscrapers, Hong Kong’s temples are active places of worship and the focal point of the city’s festivals. Visit them to see faithful devotees of Buddhist, Taoist and local deities performing ancient rituals amid aromatic wafts of incense. Man Mo temple is a favourite over at 126 Hollywood Rd, Sheung Wan.
First race normally starts at 7:30pm with free admission.
A fairly new addition to the trendy 'hipster' district of HK. Sheung Wen is now home to some incredible displays of creativity in form of street art. Easily rivalling more raved about cities popular for street art, pieces are getting added more frequently. Start along Hollywood road in Soho and work your way round all the alleys and pathways discovering multi coloured murals.
Just a bus ride away from HK island repulse bay has a swanky beach resort feel, but is as popular with locals as tourists. Each year the Rugby 5's hold there warm up event to the 7's here with guaranteed half dressed men and lots of beer. The rest of the year it is a sun soaked oasis with white sand and excellent people watching potential. Bus 6, 6A, 6X, 66 or 260 from Exchange Square bus terminus (near MTR Hong Kong Station, Exit D) and alight at Repulse Bay Beach.
Easily the most popular attraction in HK. The peak looks over the city with a 360 degrees view and great photo opportunities. Take the number 15 bus from central pier and enjoy the scenic ride to the top. Go more than once, and be sure to see it at night to. There are cafe's and restaurants at the top to keep you entertained for hours.
The biggest patch of public greenery on Hong Kong Island. The best time to go is on a weekday morning, when it becomes a forest of people practising the slow-motion choreography of taichi. The park becomes a flower market a few days before the Chinese New Year. It’s also worth a visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival , when people turn out en masse carrying lanterns- Causeway Road, Causeway bay.
Named as the 'World's Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show' by Guinness World Records, coloured lights, laser beams and searchlights perform in an unforgettable all-round spectacle synchronised to music and narration that celebrates the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong. There are five main themes: Awakening, Energy, Heritage, Partnership, and the finale, Celebration. The show is for free public enjoyment, the best place to watch it is by the Avenue of stars on Victoria harbour.
There are markets to keep you entertained for days in HK. The Ladies market is the most famous market, and one of the best for visiting tourists to soak up the hustle and bustle of a Chinese market. Despite the name, the markets sells clothes for men and women and plenty of cheap Chinese curios, as well as being one of the locations for Hong Kong's buzzing trade in copies and fakes. Tung Choi Street.
In HK is all a bout midweek, not only do you have the horses in the evening but every museum is freeeee of charge. So check out the space museum on Victoria Harbour and the museum of natural history and science museum (right next to each) on Kowloon.

Whether you are a small business or a big one, the fact of the matter is that you are not going to have any dearth of competitors who would always be looking for ways to slow down your progress by dragging your company in a legal dispute. In such a scenario, you will need the services of a good Business Attorney Fort Lauderdale by your side to handle such legal disputes with ease.

In order to ensure that the legal aid you are hiring is able to protect you beforehand from such legal complications, you would need to be careful in choosing an attorney for your business. And to help you do that, here are a few important tips, which could really come handy in this regard.
When focusing on the experience of Attorneys, also make sure to look at their area of expertise. If you are looking for a business attorney for your small business, then you will need to find Attorneys who have a good experience in servicing small business firms in the past.
Going for attorneys who are well connected and well known in their circles can also be a great plus for you, because these attorneys will bring the added advantage of ‘the best tricks in the trade’, which will be really useful in addressing legal disputes in a much faster and efficient way.
Since all attorneys have their own fee structure, it will be advisable that you discuss the fee structure of the Attorney you are planning to hire before finalizing him or her for this purpose. If you are transparent in expressing your limitations about the budget, even the attorney you are hiring might bring down the hourly rates to suit your need.
If you feel that you are enjoying a great rapport with a perspective Attorney, and you both are extremely comfortable in each other’s company, then you should consider hiring that person as your Business Attorney Fort Lauderdale.
And last but not the least is the matter of trust. Since every successful attorney-client relationship is built on trust, it will be not advisable to go with an attorney whom you find hard to trust.

South Carolina has a middling rate overall, compared to other states. The Palmetto State came in at 16th worst of 50 states and Washington D.C., with 6.74 infants dying each year before they reached 1 year old.
The infant mortality rate is considered an important community health measurement and is widely accepted as a key public health metric. The lower the rate, the better. The worst rates in the world are found in African countries, which reach nearly 90 deaths per 1,000 babies in the Central African Republic, according to the World Health Organization.
The report echoes data from the Department of Health and Environmental Control released in late 2017, which also highlighted a racial divide fueled by poor maternal health and other challenges. On average, black babies fared worse than their white peers, the CDC reported.
The infant mortality rate for black babies in South Carolina was 10.52, about half a point lower than the national average for the demographic. White South Carolina babies scored less than half that rate, at 4.98. | 2019-04-23T02:30:40 | https://www.postandcourier.com/features/health-in-brief-cdc-publishes-updated-infant-mortality-data-national/article_ba685ecc-f17c-11e7-b7c4-eb95009f8d46.html |
Since 1919, the number of projects sponsored, supported or supervised by the UAI has steadily increased. From the first three projects (Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, Alchemical texts and Works of Grotius), we came today to the number of 76 projects.
The organization of these projects may follow different models. In general, the project’s director has the opportunity to be assisted by an international committee representing the member academies interested in that project. Sometimes, the International Committee takes on the character and function of a Drafting Committee. In addition, to promote the project, National Committees may be constituted in the participating countries. | 2019-04-18T10:18:31 | http://uai-iua.org/en/projects |

Sorry for posting this just now, there are a few bits of Katrina’s return as Nyssa in this two-minute promo for the second half of the fourth season of Arrow.
I have added 149 high-resolution screencaps from the recent episode of Arrow into the gallery.
LAUREL TAKES HER SISTER TO NANDA PARBAT – The growing tension between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) puts both their lives at risk when they go after Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) and a H.I.V.E. deployed meta-human. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) talks Thea (Willa Holland) into returning to Nanda Parbat to ask her father (John Barrowman) to put Sara (guest star Caity Lotz) into the Lazarus Pit. However, Laurel is surprised when Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law) refuses to do it. Wendey Stanzler directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Speed Weed (#403).
There are a few bits of Katrina in the Arrow Season 3 gag reel. You can watch it below.
Apologies for the delay, I’ve updated the gallery with high-resolution screencaps from the 9 episodes of the third season of Arrow that Katrina appeared in. Enjoy!
HQ episode stills of Katrina from the rest of her appearances in this season of Arrow are now in the gallery! Don’t forget, she will appear in the season finale, airing this Wednesday.
Next week’s installment of Arrow, titled “The Magician,” will feature a higher than average quotient of the al Ghul family. Not only is it the long-percolating debut of actor Matt Nable as Ra’s al Ghul, it’s also the return of Katrina Law as that character’s daughter, Nyssa al Ghul.
Law debuted as Nyssa in season two’s “Heir to the Demon,” which aired this past February. In the show, Nyssa is a member of the League of Assassins that has a romantic past with Sara Lance (Caity Lotz). Given the major developments early this fall in the show’s third season, there’s plenty for Nyssa to confront.
Written by Wendy Mericle & executive producer Marc Guggenheim and directed by John Behring, “The Magician” — the 50th overall episode of “Arrow” — is set to air 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29 on The CW. | 2019-04-26T08:18:30 | http://katrina-law.com/category/tv-shows/arrow/page/2/ |

We are one of the best seller of quality steroids online. We offer a very large variety of products at reasonable price.
Welcome to our online store that offers Anabolic Steroids for sale in USA. We have full range of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED) that will help you to get incredible results without any harm to your health. Our store offers pharmacy grade products produced by world famous pharmaceutical companies. We arrange discrete delivery and provide secure credit card payments. Unlike several other online sites that sell steroids we work as a full time business trying to offer all kind of support and provide 100% satisfaction guarantee so you can get your products in time and without any problem associated with buying anabolic products online.
We place random steroids for free so you can check the quality of our inventory.
We use safe packing and provide tracking code with every package.
If products do not meet your expectation we discuss refund or replacement.
You can buy steroids from our store at reasonable price. Our store offers steroids for sale to all of its customers and all of our products are of high quality.
Steroids are preparations containing the synthesized male hormone or its derivatives. Steroids can be produced in tablet form or injectables. With their use, athletes get a double effect. First, the rate of metabolism increases dramatically, and, secondly, the destruction of protein compounds (anti-catabolic effect) is prevented. The quality of nutrition of the tissues increases, and their fibers begin to grow.
Of course, to achieve positive results, just buying steroids is not enough. In addition, you need to pay attention to your diet and train intensely. Steroids contribute to the delay and accumulation of nutrients in the tissues, which also contributes to muscle growth. Our online store offers you the option of buying steroids wholesale and retail at reasonable prices.
Today the sale of steroids is forbidden in some countries, but this cannot affect the desire of athletes to constantly improve their results. Often, sports doctors leading the fight against doping do not understand that the sale of sports pharmacology helps athletes not only to become faster and stronger, but also contributes to their rapid recovery and improved health. In professional sports, athletes have to experience tremendous physical exertion and, without adequate pharmacological support, they can simply be harmful to their health.
Steroids are often called anabolic steroids, which is not entirely true. Any drug has not only anabolic activity, but also androgenic properties. In this regard, I would like to remind the girls who decide to purchase steroids that they should only be used in accordance with the recommendations that their use is safe for the body. In any steroid, the active ingredient is artificial testosterone or estrogen.
All drugs that you can purchase from us are used not only by athletes, but also are used in traditional medicine. With their help, doctors can treat various diseases, such as osteoporosis, or eliminate endocrine disruption. In sports, anabolic steroids are used to gain muscle mass and in cycles to dry out muscles.
Now there are many online stores offering to sell steroids. However, due to the high popularity of these drugs on the market, counterfeit drugs often appear. Remember, high-quality steroids cannot be cheap. The desire to buy as cheap as possible is understandable. But remember this, you get what you pay for. However, in this case, you put yourself at risk of developing side effects and impairment of health.

Anthony Beebe, pictured at the silent protest by black students on January 24, announced he will retire this summer from his post as president of Santa Barbara City College due to health issues.
Santa Barbara City College President Anthony Beebe announced today, via a campus-wide email, that he will be retiring this summer after having served the college for almost three years. His announcement follows a special Board of Trustees meeting yesterday that he called to discuss his health concerns. “The Board expressed unanimous support for Dr. Beebe in leading the College. We have full confidence in him and wanted him to continue as Superintendent/President for several more years. However, we respect the decision he has made and strongly encouraged him to prioritize his health,” wrote Trustee President Robert Miller on behalf of the board. According to Beebe’s letter to the campus, he’s struggling with health-related issues, including cancer and heart problems.
“While my time here has been challenging, we have had many memorable experiences and several accomplishments of which to be proud,” wrote Beebe to the campus. Under his leadership, the college established the new School of Extended Learning and expanded the SBCC Promise program. The Equity and Social Justice and Umoja Programs were also created while Beebe was president. However, of his three years with the college, the last nine months have been marked by a number of stressful incidents.
His announcement comes amid concerns from students and staff that racial tensions have been downplayed or ignored the last several months. At yesterday’s board meeting, two college faculty members spoke of their dismay with his leadership. Annette Cordero, who’s been with the college for more than 40 years and through eight presidents, said this is the most divided she’s ever seen the college.
A black faculty member, who asked her name not be used, iterated students’ criticism that Beebe canceled a meeting in January with Umoja students 15 minutes before the scheduled start time without explanation. Umoja is a program to promote success for African-American and other students. She accused Beebe of creating a “troublesome power dynamic” by calling specific students to meet after cancelling a general meeting the previous week and for having an attorney present when the meeting was rescheduled. “It is not common practice to invite an attorney to open office hours,” she said.
The racial turmoil on campus was highlighted by Vice President of Business Services Lyndsay Maas’s use of the unabbreviated n-word at a gender equity meeting in November. Since then, black students and staff have shared with the board countless incidents of alleged harassment and racial animosity they have experienced on campus. Beebe’s response to the incident has been criticized by students and staff and led to a student silent protest at the January 24 board meeting.
Prior to the airing of racial issues, the campus was gripped by allegations of harassment by then-professor Mark McIntire. His comments were found to fall short of actionable harassment, however; the incident ended with McIntire being let go from the college, a $120,000 settlement after he sued the school, and an open letter of apology from Beebe to the campus. The gender equity committee in which Maas used the n-word was born shortly after this incident.
Beebe’s vacancy will be temporarily filled by a board-appointed interim superintendent, wrote Robert Miller. The vacancy comes at a time when the board is looking to diversify faculty and staff on campus. At the November 8 board meeting, Vice President of Human Resources Monalisa Hasson presented the annual faculty and staff diversity report that showed in the 2017-18 school year, 71 percent of full-time faculty at the college identified as white — statewide that number is 39 percent. “Research shows that representation matters to our students,” said Hasson. | 2019-04-22T01:06:13 | https://www.independent.com/2019/02/08/sbcc-president-announces-early-retirement/ |

Northamptonshire County Cricket Club is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Northamptonshire. Its limited overs team is called the Northants Steelbacks – a reference to the Northamptonshire Regiment which was formed in 1881. The name was supposedly a tribute to the soldiers' apparent indifference to the harsh discipline imposed by their officers. Founded in 1878, Northamptonshire (Northants) held minor status at first but was a prominent member of the early Minor Counties Championship during the 1890s. In 1905, the club joined the County Championship and was elevated to first-class status, since when the team have played in every top-level domestic cricket competition in England.
The club plays the majority of its games at the County Cricket Ground, Northampton, but has used outlier grounds at Kettering, Wellingborough and Peterborough (formerly part of Northamptonshire, but now in Cambridgeshire) in the past. It has also used grounds outside the county for one-day games: for example, at Luton, Tring and Milton Keynes.
During the 2018 season, Northamptonshire played in Division Two of the County Championship, the North Division of the Royal London One-Day Cup and the North Division of the Vitality t20 Blast.

For Northamptonshire County Cricket Club's Twenty20 records, see List of Northamptonshire Twenty20 cricket records.
For a statistical breakdown by season, see List of Northamptonshire County Cricket Club seasons.
Cricket had probably reached Northamptonshire by the end of the 17th century and the first two references to cricket in the county are within a few days of each other in 1741. On Monday 10 August, there was a match at Woburn Park between a Bedfordshire XI and a combined Northants and Huntingdonshire XI. Woburn Cricket Club under the leadership of the Duke of Bedford was on the point of becoming a well known club. On Tuesday 18 August, a match played on the Cow Meadow near Northampton between two teams of amateurs from Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire is the earliest known instance of cricket being played in Northamptonshire county.
On 31 July 1878, the official formation of Northants CCC took place at a meeting in the George Hotel, Kettering based on an existing organisation that dated back to 1820. The 1820 date, if it could be verified, would make Northants the oldest club in the present-day County Championship. The club came to prominence in the Minor Counties Championship during the 1890s as, between 1900 and 1904, the bowling of George Thompson and William East was much too good for almost all batsmen at that level. The county applied for first-class status in 1904 and was promoted the following year when it joined the County Championship. They played its inaugural first-class match versus Hampshire CCC at Southampton on 18, 19 & 20 May 1905 when making its County Championship debut.
Although Thompson and East proved themselves to be bowlers of high class, a weak batting line-up meant that the team remained close to the bottom of the championship table until Sydney Smith arrived in 1909. After three years in the middle of the table, Northants surprisingly improved to finish second in 1912 and fourth in 1913. Thompson, Smith and William "Bumper" Wells formed one of the strongest attacks in county cricket at the time, whilst Smith and Haywood were the county's best batsmen.
Thompson and Smith finished playing after World War I and, during the inter-war period, Northamptonshire were regularly one of the weaker championship sides. This was exacerbated when Vallance Jupp declined due to age and, despite the arrival of Nobby Clark, a young left arm fast bowler from Huntingdonshire who burst onto the scene at the age of 20 in 1922 with 20 wickets at an average of 17.10 and Fred Bakewell, an exciting batsman who regularly exceeded 1000 runs a season, Northamptonshire could only finish above second from last four times between 1923 and 1948, finishing last every year from 1934 to 1938 and enduring a run of 99 matches from 14 May 1935 to 29 May 1939 without a single championship victory, a record that has never been beaten and doesn’t look like being beaten in the future. Things got worse for Northamptonshire during this time when Bakewell's career ended due to a broken arm in a car crash that also resulted in the fatality of teammate, Reginald Northway.
After the Second World War, things could only get better for Northamptonshire and they started by recruiting widely from other counties and countries, bringing in Freddie Brown from Surrey; the Australians Jock Livingston, George Tribe and Jack Manning; the New Zealander Peter Arnold; and the Cambridge University opening bat and leg-spinner Raman Subba Row. Brown joined as captain in 1949, and led the team to six place in his first season after previous years of disappointment. Under the new leadership of Dennis Brookes (a stalwart batsman for over 20 years), finished second in 1957, their best finish for 45 years. This was mainly due to the bowling attack of Frank Tyson, Vincent Broderick, Michael Allen, George Tribe and Manning. Northamptonshire were widely considered the best team in England in the late 1950s and early 1960s, during this time Keith Andrew, Northants best ever Wicket-keeper broke the records of most victims in an innings and a season.
Subsequently, the club has seen mixed fortunes. The club has had intermittent success in one-day competitions, but it has still not won the County Championship, although second place was achieved in each of 1957, 1965 and 1976. Nonetheless it has included several famous players qualified for England, including the South African-born batsman Allan Lamb; fast bowler David Larter; the hard hitting opener Colin Milburn, whose career was cut tragically short by an eye injury sustained in a car crash; the reliable batsmen David Steele and Rob Bailey; opening batsman Wayne Larkins; and all-rounders Peter Willey and David Capel.
Several notable overseas players such as Matthew Hayden, Curtly Ambrose, André Nel, Kapil Dev, Mike Hussey, Sarfraz Nawaz, Mushtaq Mohammad, Anil Kumble, Dennis Lillee and Bishen Bedi have starred for the club, which was particularly formidable as a one-day batting outfit in the late 1970s and early 1980s. More recently, Lance Klusener and Monty Panesar have been notable players.
Northants have recently been criticised for the number of Kolpak players in the team, but for the 2009 season there were only three in Andrew Hall, Johan van der Wath and Nicky Boje, and only one in 2013 in Hall.
As with all county cricket clubs, Northamptonshire CCC represents the historic county and not any modern or current administrative unit. In Northamptonshire's case, this means the county of Northamptonshire and the Town of Northampton, although the club have in the past played some home matches outside the historic borders such as in Luton and Milton Keynes.
Northamptonshire first played at the county ground in Northampton in 1905, and continue to do so till this day even though Northampton Town F.C. shared the ground up until 1994 when the Cobblers moved to Sixfields Stadium. After the football club moved, the ground at the Abington Avenue was demolished and replaced by a new indoor school which includes seating looking on to the ground.

Tibet has produced one of the world's most unique and easily-recognizable forms of architecture. Nevertheless, systematic study of Tibetan architecture is still a comparatively unexplored field.
Tibetan construction activities can be traced back over 1300 years, when the first Buddhist temples were built in central Tibet. One of these, the Lhasa Jokhang, still exists and yields important information about the origins and early development of Tibetan architecture (see architectural history of the Lhasa Jokhang).
The earliest surviving Tibetan religious monuments are closely based on Indian prototypes. Later temples and monuments, built after the period of the second diffusion of Buddhism, are very similar to Tibetan vernacular architecture. They show only limited foreign architectural influences. The earliest extant defensive structures appear likewise to be based on indigenous designs and technologies.
Tibet has perfected its own unique style of architecture.
Tibetan buildings are not only a fascinating blend of man-made structure and nature, but they are well-suited for local climatic and geographic conditions. After they have outlived their usefulness, every part can be re-used, and if lived to decay, they simply become hills of earth and stones again.
For nearly a millennium, Tibetan architecture was the preferred medium for construction of monasteries and palaces across much of Inner Asia, including northern India and Pakistan, Bhutan and Nepal, northern China, Mongolia and parts of Siberia. The best-known example is the 13-storey Potala Palace in Lhasa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994.
Modernization and political events have placed this great heritage in jeopardy. Only a handful of authentic ancient monuments and even fewer historic urban structures remain. Adding insult to injury, a huge fascination within China and India for all things Tibetan currently causes a Disneyfication of Tibetan architecture.
The dissection of the Tibetan cultural realm into nation states with fixed borders, and the political events in China, India and Mongolia in the mid-20th century have caused cultural exchanges within the region to diminish dramatically. Fortunately, the wider influence of Tibetan culture has picked up again in recent decades and has begun to cross once hostile borders. The advent of modern construction technologies, particularly the availability of concrete and steel, have led to a near-termic decline of traditional building skills due to lack of demand. In both Tibet and Ladakh the fixing of traditional-style window ornaments is enough to qualify a building as Tibetan architecture. Little efforts are made to understand the inherent qualities and design principles of traditional architecture. As more and more small and medium-sized Tibetan towns become modernized, traditional residential buildings disappear from the Himalayan landscape.
Saving the vernacular architecture of old Lhasa was the principal interest that led to THF's founding. THF has launched a project that is still running to document vernacular (and monastic) Tibetan architecture in all areas belonging to the Tibetan cultural realm. The documentation includes photography, survey and measured drawings, as well as investigations of building use, social functions, cultural context and practical issues of conservation and rehabilitation. THF's survey archive contains data of almost 100 historic residential buildings in Lhasa, many of which no longer exist.
THF works to contribute to a better understanding and appreciation of traditional architecture and traditional skills across the region, which would also significantly contibute to local economies.
THF's research project is currently expanding to look at the traditional vernacular architecture in ten historic Asian cities. | 2019-04-22T12:48:12 | http://www.tibetheritagefund.org/pages/research/tibetan-vernacular-architecture.php |

noun Plural form of backlink.
One way to obtain the backlinks is through providing feedback and information on other relevant blogs.
Now all you need to do is implement the usual link building strategies to acquire backlinks from the same sites that are linking to your competitors … right?
Will Google Follow Yahoo, For Once?
Creating a Theme to create backlinks is a lousy reason.
Transparancy and exposure on the right sites (these are what others call backlinks, but focus on the exposure, not just getting the link) Thank You for your post and your time to put it together.
I've got something like that on my personal blog a link is there in the backlinks, which is pure CSS.
I don't know how mod's can watch every day, new old threads - how can I imporve Alexa ranking, how can I boost backlinks, which is better Firefox Chrome or IE, is Bing going to fail etc. specially threads in Goole category - my suggestion is to see which same threads are open every day, and open one sticked for every topic, change the rules so if someone open new get one infr.
And the quantity and quality of your backlinks is the most important factor to ranking well for a wide variety of keywords and the competitive keywords with high search volume.
As of yesterday, I have already beenn getting converting traffic from a couple of the backlinks, which is an excellent result for me.
Just remember, don't change the page the post is on, or everyone loses where to find it and all of your "backlinks" will disappear. | 2019-04-22T14:22:37 | https://www.wordnik.com/words/backlinks |
welcome on my homepage. Here, you will find some information about me and my research. From 1997-2002, I worked in the field of semiconductor technology at the Technical University Braunschweig. Since 2002 my work is focussed on the highly interesting field of time and frequency. If you are interested in the subjects I work and worked on, please enjoy this website and feel free to contact me.
Since 2002 I am a member of PTB's time dissemination group. My main interests are international time and frequency comparisons and dissemination of legal time in Germany. Worldwide, atomic clocks of many time labs, among them the USNO in Washington DC, the NIST in Colorado and the NICT in Tokyo, are being compared by satellite based techniques, i.e. with GPS and telecommuncation satellites. The most prominent example for the dissemination of time in Germany is the low frequency transmitter DCF77.
The implementation of nanostructures in technical applications is one of the key technologies for future developments. At the Institute for Semiconductor Technology (Institut für Halbleitertechnik, IHT) my work was focussed on the preparation (lithography) and characterization (AFM, electrical, optical) of III-V-semiconductor nanostructures for optoelectronic devices. In this framework, of special interest were mechanism of MOVPE crystal growth (homogeneity vs. self organized growth) and the implementation of nanostructures in InGsAsP/InP-based quantum wire lasers and quantum cascade lasers. | 2019-04-23T09:54:43 | http://piester.de/ |

Faunal remains include bones, shell, hair, chitin (exoskeletons of crustaceans), scales, hides, proteins and DNA. Of these items, bones and shells occur most frequently at archaeological sites in the American Southwest. Analysis of these remains reveals information on what animals were utilized for food, tools, and other uses and provides insights into the species available in past environments. Analysts also look for butchering marks that may reveal processing patterns and can occasionally determine age and gender of an individual. Bone tools include awls, needles, scrapers, and combs.
Analysis of bone from the Cañada Alamosa sites has yielded the usual pattern of mule deer and rabbits but has also supported growing evidence that bison roamed the nearby Plains of San Agustin until late in the pueblo period.
Shell artifacts provide insight into changing trade and procurement patterns. Most of the shell in the prehistoric Southwest originated on the west coast of Mexico and was traded. Common species include Olive/la and Glycemeris which were used as pendants and bracelets. In addition to these two shell species, the Cañada Alamosa shell includes Nassarius, Cerithidea albonodosa, Conus and Argopecten. The relatively small amounts of shell reflect the isolation of the Cañada Alamosa sites as broken shell ornaments were often retooled and reused. Freshwater shells (Unionidae) from the Gila River are also present. | 2019-04-22T14:15:29 | https://exhibition.canadaalamosaproject.org/section/faunal-and-shell-analysis/ |

I'm definitely looking forward to the answer to this (and, assuming it's positive, an opinion on how good the etymologies are).
As am I. I mean, I knew my brother moved to Bratislava for a reason other than all his silly personal ones.
That's exciting. And it's so cool to see someone so excited about a dictionary.
Although I am surprised that it's the first Slovak dictionary to be made in nearly 50 years. When I think how suckful it is that the endangered languages I work on are so poorly resourced it's actually a bit reassuring to think that that can happen to a National language too.
re first Slovak dictionary to be made in nearly 50 years - that is not true, there were revised editions of KSSJ (Short dictionary of Slovak language) published every few years. This is however the first so called big dictionary published since Peciar's one, and that probably made some people think there were no dictionaries in between.
just to clarify: I wrote "first real dictionary". I am fully - or, rather, painfully - aware of the existence of KKSJ. | 2019-04-19T10:32:45 | http://blog.bulbul.sk/2007/01/its-here.html |
The monarchE trial is studying if adding abemaciclib (Verzenio) to hormonal therapy will help lower the risk of cancer returning for people with early-stage , hormone receptor -positive breast cancer.
Researchers are looking for men and women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that have a high risk of recurrence to participate.
Abemaciclib is a medicine that blocks two specific proteins, cyclin dependent kinases 4 and 6. Medicines that block these proteins are known as CDK 4/6 inhibitors. There are three CDK 4/6 inhibitors currently approved by the FDA to treat metastatic breast cancer. Palbociclib (Ibrance) was the first medicine of this type approved in 2015. It was followed by ribociclib (Kisqali) and abemaciclib in 2017.
Because these medicines improve outcomes for people with metastatic breast cancer, researchers want to know whether using abemaciclib with hormonal therapy for early-stage breast cancer will lower the risk of recurrence for certain people.
The monarchE trial is studying the possible benefits of giving abemaciclib to people with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with a high risk of recurrence. Factors such as the size of the tumor , Ki-67 proliferation index and whether cancer cells were found in the lymph nodes are used in measuring the risk of breast cancer returning. This study will also be looking at the quality of life of participants taking abemaciclib with hormonal therapy compared with those taking hormonal therapy alone.
MonarchE is a phase III, open label trial. People in the trial will be randomly assigned to take hormonal therapy alone or take it with abemaciclib, the medicine being studied. Open label means participants will know which treatment they have been assigned. Researchers are hoping to recruit 3,580 people to participate.
There are multiple study locations throughout the United States. Visit the trial listing on CancerTrials.org for more details and speak to your healthcare team about your interest in participating. | 2019-04-26T10:20:09 | https://www.lbbc.org/news-opinion/phase-iii-trial-cdk-46-inhibitor-abemaciclib-early-stage-breast-cancer-seeks |
Ah School House Rock! Yay.
You make a great analogy about feedback and grief, but for some reason I've never had that problem. Sure occasionally feedback doesn't fit but with my critique group I have generally applied the majority of suggestions right away. Maybe it's because I spent a long time wallowing in my ego before finally joining a group and realizing my writing needed work. Once I accepted that I was ready and even yearning for help to make it better. Now I love constructive criticism.
Crazy about constructive criticism? Probably not.
I also love the constructive criticism I receive. Most of the time the issue is clear and the possibilities for improvement obvious. In terms of the grief cycle, I arrive at the acceptance stage (often skipping intermediate steps) in a matter of minutes.
In the case that prompted this post, there was a request for more of something I thought I'd already done. For the first two days I couldn't see how to do more without making the manuscript significantly longer (and running the risk of making it tedious). I understood what my friend was driving at and agreed that it would be a good thing, but didn't see how to proceed. I was stuck in the stage before acceptance. Then, on the miraculous third day, I finally understood how to make the improvement with only a modest increase in the overall word count. | 2019-04-26T12:25:17 | http://blog.derenhansen.com/2010/07/how-to-understand-criticism.html |

This week I travelled down to Brighton to take part in the Smash EDO citizens weapons inspection of the EDO/ITT factory. My protest buddy and I, armed with waterproofs and jelly babies, met the demonstration in the centre of Brighton and were given ‘weapons inspector’ outfits and face masks as well as legal advice on the protest.
Since 2004, campaigners from Brighton and beyond have been calling for EDO MBM/ITT to close. (Look here for an explanation of EDO’s associated acronyms!) Smash EDO is probably the strongest and most resilient campaign against a local arms company site in the UK at the moment. Since 2004 they have held demonstrations every week and mass demonstrations have attracted thousands. In 2009, as the Israeli military bombed the people of Gaza, six decommissioners entered the factory, taking hammers to machines making components sold to the Israeli army. The decommissioners argued that they acted to disarm a factory complicit in war crimes and were all found not guilty.
The ‘citizens weapons inspection’ was part of Smash EDO’s Summer of Resistance, a summer of actions and events against the EDO/ITT factory.
We started our march in the centre of Brighton. In the cold and rain, around forty weapons inspectors with banners and placards made their way up to Home Farm Road where the factory is based.
We then found the road ahead of us obstructed by a massive police barricade. The police had blockaded the road for us! Protesters quickly locked on in front of the barricade in order to ensure that the road was well and truly blocked (the police barricade looked like it could open to allow vehicles through). Later the police moved in to form a barrier between us and those locked-on, and gradually pushed us further back along the road.
The Summer of Resistance is the perfect opportunity for you to get involved. Smash EDO offer all sorts of help and advice for groups planning their own actions. There are also organised events you can join in with. London CAAT are having an action next Tuesday at the factory; get in touch with them to go along too.
Smash EDO are refusing to allow a factory which is complicit in such devastation to exist unchallenged. The huge police presence at demonstrations like this represents yet another way in which the state supports the arms trade, this time by trying to prevent protest against it. However, despite being frustrating, the high number of police in attendance on Monday shows that the campaign is being taken seriously, that it represents a powerful challenge to the interests of the arms trade.
In September, a year before the 2013 DSEI arms fair, CAAT is calling for a month of action against local arms companies. From a quick photo exposing where your local site is, to a triathlon between local sites, to non-violent direct action, there’s loads of ways to get involved. Get in touch on outreach(at)caat*org*uk for help with getting involved. Let’s show arms companies that they are not welcome in our communities!
Read Smash EDO’s account of the action. | 2019-04-21T21:01:32 | https://blog.caat.org.uk/2012/07/19/citizens-weapons-inspection-at-brighton-arms-factory/ |

The forces behind the Tribeca Festival rejection process have escalated their methods using strong-arm Texas-style tactics in a determined effort to deny the documentary filmmakers the right to free speech and to censor the public from seeing the controversial documentary film, Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe.
The Mayor has declined an offer to view the film. His spokesperson contended the documentary “could undermine the City’s child vaccination effort.
I wanted you to know that just like DeNiro and Tribeca, we must withdraw our invitation to screen VAXXED! It has been cancelled, and there was no press release about the film… that was scheduled for today, but after very threatening calls late yesterday (Monday) from high Houston Government officials (the first and only time they have ever called in 49 years) – we had no choice but to drop the film. Heavy handed censorship, to say the least… they both threatened severe action against the festival if we showed it, so it is out. Their actions would have cost us more than $100,000 in grants.
I do hope that they did not call or threaten you. It is done, it is out and we have been censored… There are some very powerful forces against this project. It does seem a bit of overkill, as I am confident that it will be released Online soon and millions of people can see it.
But these shadowy controlling forces are losing on the public relations front; because their bare knuckle tactics have angered an increasingly wider public – just as the ruling political parties — Republican and the Democrats — are losing the support of their constituents. Indeed, Americans are rebelling against the rigged electoral process through which the political establishment maintains control. Americans no longer trust the mainstream media, which is controlled by corporate interests. Wiki Leaks put them to shame.

The development of instruments and methodologies to explore the nanoscale is critical to expand our knowledge at the molecular level. That knowledge will eventually lead to technologies that have the ability to image, modify, characterize, interface and process nanoscale systems with a broad range of applications from nanolectronics to clinical research and diagnosis. Force-for-future contains an integrated approach to develop a new paradigm in Force Microscopy (AFM) that will improve the spatial resolution and material properties sensitivity of the instrument at the molecular level in air, vacuum or liquid of a wide variety of materials from cells, proteins and semiconductors. Furthermore, the project will develop multiscale computational codes to convert experimental data at the nanoscale into relevant information about mechanical and electronic properties. At the same time, the project explores applications in two fields with promising technological or health implications: nanomechanics and biomedicine. In particular, the project will anticipate future applications of nano-microscopies in clinical diagnosis. The ability of the AFM for high resolution imaging of soft materials in physiological conditions makes this instrument as a potential candidate for clinical diagnosis.
Our SPMTH research group at UAM is going to develop protocols based on steered molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations with well-established classical potentials (AMBER), with the aim of understanding: (i) protein adsorption on surfaces; (ii) the connection between the local effective elastic properties measured with AFM and the real atomistic deformation mechanisms used by large proteins (like human antibodies) to release the stress created by the tip; and (iii) the role of water in the conformation of biological material and its atomic scale characterization with AFM. | 2019-04-23T02:42:38 | http://dep.ftmc.uam.es/force-for-future-advanced-force-technology-for-future-nanomechanics-and-nanomedicine/ |

Q: I am both a Canadian and American. At this juncture, I will not give up my American citizenship since my family is down there and I am only 33. I have maxed my RRSP and I want to invest in ETFs in a non-registered account but I understand there are issues with U.S. tax liabilities.
There are over a million Americans in Canada. My question is simple: what platform can an American in Canada use to acquire indexes or ETFs with minimal tax liability and simplicity for IRS reporting?
A: As you likely know, Megan, American citizens need to file U.S. tax returns every year on their worldwide income, regardless of where they live. That means one million U.S. citizens in Canada should be filing with the IRS. Not all of them do.
There is a bilateral agreement between Canada and the U.S. to avoid double taxation and because Canadian tax rates are generally higher than U.S. rates, many Canadian tax filers have no U.S. tax liability on their U.S. returns. That doesn’t mean you don’t need to file or worry about what you invest in here in Canada.
When it comes to your non-RRSP investing, you have two things you need to consider, Megan – types of accounts and types of investments. If you plan to open or have opened a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) or Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), these could cause U.S. tax issues.
The tax incentives to open these accounts may be partially or fully negated. The additional U.S. tax reporting may drive up your U.S. tax preparation costs considerably. There are extensive, complicated forms for your accountant to prepare and significant penalties if you ignore this obligation.
In addition, TFSAs and RESPs are not considered tax sheltered for U.S. tax purposes. The investment income is taxable on your U.S. return. RESP government grants – Canada Education Savings Grants or CESGs – are taxable in the U.S. as well.
Generally, Americans should avoid TFSAs and RESPs. You can still take advantage of an RESP for your children, but consider having a non-U.S. spouse or other family member as the subscriber.
If you want to invest in index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Megan, you must be careful in a non-registered account. Canadian index mutual funds (or any mutual funds for that matter) and Canadian-listed ETFs can also cause increased U.S. accounting costs and complexity. These are considered Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs). PFICs require significant disclosure on your U.S. tax return that could take many hours of additional time for your accountant to prepare.
Many Canadian mutual fund and ETF companies are trying to make U.S. tax reporting easier for U.S. investors. This makes their investments more marketable within Canada to Americans, but also to potential U.S. resident investors.
If you want to invest in passive investments, U.S.-listed ETFs may be the simplest option in a non-registered account from a U.S. tax compliance perspective. However, from an investment perspective, a Canadian resident may have better Canadian options or more comfort investing in Canadian investments.
If that’s the case, at the very least make sure your Canadian index funds or ETFs are PFIC-compliant and provide PFIC reporting to investors for their U.S. accountants, Megan. Check with the mutual fund or ETF company or your investment advisor. And speak to your U.S. accountant to understand the tax rules and additional accounting costs that your Canadian investment accounts and Canadian investments may cause.

THE rally in equity markets powered funds approved under the Central Provident Fund Investment Scheme (CPFIS) up 10.73 per cent last year.
The result pipped the 10.35 per cent returns recorded for 2012.
Average returns for the fourth quarter were particularly buoyant, rising 3.69 per cent for the final three months of last year.
Fund researcher Lipper, which is tasked with monitoring the performance of all CPFIS funds, noted that the bullish sentiment, particularly in developed markets, was the driving force behind the growth.
This was reflected in the MSCI World Index, the key benchmark stock index, which rose 31.65 per cent in 2013.
Investors poured money into markets in the United States and Europe on brighter economic outlooks and cheaper valuations of stocks.
The US attracted about US$563 billion (S$715 billion) of fund inflow last year, while Europe saw a net positive flow of around US$163 billion. By comparison, Japan pulled in just US$50 billion and emerging Asian markets about US$37 billion.
Conversely, the better growth prospects led investors to move their funds out of bonds, which provide safer and lower rates of returns.
The key benchmark - the Citigroup World Government Bond Index - dropped 0.77 per cent.
That meant that CPFIS equity funds, which rose 14.41 per cent on average, outperformed bond funds, which fell 1.04 per cent.
Mr Xav Feng, head of Asia-Pacific research for Lipper, pointed out that expectations of the US Federal Reserve's tapering of its massive bond-buying programme compressed yields.
"Also, bond funds have already enjoyed four or five consecutive years of good performance since 2009, so it started to change and became one of the worst performers," he added.
Investors who used their CPF savings to buy only unit trusts would have been marginally better off than those who bought investment-linked insurance products.
CPF-approved unit trusts increased by 11.93 per cent last year while investment-linked insurance products added 9.91 per cent.
Though investors can get better returns from the CPFIS funds compared with leaving their savings with the CPF Board, non-CPF funds registered for sale in Singapore did even better.
There were 2,842 primary, non-CPF approved funds that gave an average return of 13.14 per cent last year.
Fundsupermart general manager Wong Sui Jau said such non-CPF-approved funds could afford to take on higher risks than the CPF-approved ones.
"A majority of those non-CPF- approved funds are very focused on European and US equities, which did very well last year," Mr Wong noted.
There were 285 CPF-approved funds as at the end of Dec 31. These are expected to be well-diversified funds with low investment costs, good performance records and have robust processes in place. | 2019-04-20T03:19:42 | https://www.stjobs.sg/articles/155130 |
Omri Barzilay is a co-founder of Propcy.
The real estate rental market is a highly localized, relationship-based industry driven largely by individuals living and working in their own cities, causing many to acknowledge the longstanding difficulty of streamlining disruption to this market.
In recent years, however, that hasn’t stopped a multitude of innovators from seeking novel ways to improve the process’s efficiency.
If early innovators like Zillow and Trulia primarily entailed bringing real estate data online, newer innovators harness data not only to improve analytics for landlords, but also to improve efficiency for apartment seekers. This becomes more important as New York City, for instance, begins to see the start of an expected surge in rental apartments — more than 38,000 market-rate rental apartments, mostly in Brooklyn and Queens, are expected to be completed over the next three years.
With the advent of new technologies, the market has begun to shift nearly every aspect of the rental process, from leasing applications to communications with landlords and agents to payment processing.
As rentals become commoditized and fewer people are satisfied being tied down to static assets, a number of players have sought to empower potential renters in new ways. The first, and perhaps most obvious, is enabling rental without a broker. New York-based real estate startup Oliver, for example, launched in 2015 to serve as a platform that cuts out the middleman and seamlessly connects renters with apartments.
What this means in practice is that by aggregating real-time rental inventory directly from property managers and landlords, rather than through third-parties, the Oliver app enables renters not only to browse and filter listings as could be done on other platforms, but also to schedule showings at the tap of a button using an in-app calendar feature. Rezi, an earlier-stage New York startup, also saves time by automatically scheduling multiple apartment visits to fit its users’ schedules.
Others have invested resources in improving the process for brokers themselves. Nestio, a residential leasing and marketing platform, streamlines the leasing process using cloud-based software, which enables listings to be shared, leads to be tracked and clients to be managed in one easy-to-use platform.
An increasing number of startups, both small and large, are empowering renters.
Earlier this year, Naked Apartments, a website that optimizes how brokers can proactively approach potential and current clients with appropriate, targeted listings, became Zillow’s fifth consumer-brand acquisition, with the shared goal of using data analytics to bring transparency to New York’s real estate landscape for brokers.
As agents spend less time at their desk and more time closing on rental deals via mobile applications, DotLoop has also focused on automating more redundant tasks by allowing agents to upload important documents, negotiate transactions and get bank-approved e-signatures in a single platform.
Others are playing matchmaker in different ways: by connecting potential roommates to each other. Roomi, which raised $4 million in seed funding led by DCM Ventures and already boasts more than 375,000 users in North America, as well as smaller market players like EasyRoommate, make it simpler for renters to find and connect with compatible roommates, whether renting an extra room in an apartment or searching together for an apartment.
Other startups are seeking to disrupt the traditional corporate housing and long-term stay marketplace. Startups like HomeSuite, an online marketplace that removes the hassle from finding furnished housing, aggregates not just long-term but also short-term inventory, geared toward individuals who might previously have focused their searches on more standard month-to-month property managers. In doing so, they are filling the grey area between Craigslist and Airbnb, serving the needs of individuals looking for something more permanent than a vacation rental yet more transient than a typically longer lease commitment.
Disruption hasn’t been limited to the search process. Even payment solutions and mobile are being integrated into newer platforms by companies like RadPad, an end-to-end photo-based rental marketplace aiming to become an A-to-Z platform for renters and landlords alike.
RentPayment similarly reduces the hassle of paper checks and improves the rent payment and collection process by serving as a platform for renters to pay their leases directly to their property managers by credit card, debit card or e-check.
As lead-generation platforms begin to focus more on empowering with complex data analytics those involved in the rental process, an increasing number of startups, both small and large, are empowering renters with more flexible co-living options, capitalizing on the trends toward both optimized roommate matching and pre-furnished apartments.
WeWork, the international co-working startup valued upwards of $16 billion as of March 2016, announced in January that it has begun to convert some of its spaces into fully furnished, flexible apartments. “WeLive replicates the security and comfort of a suburban neighborhood, but with the energy and vigor of a major city,” said the company in a statement, highlighting the company’s strategy to provide residents with private and semi-private housing accommodations alongside community events like fitness classes and potluck dinners, as well as a digital social network. Common, another co-living startup, also offers what it calls “flexible, community-driven housing,” and, in doing so, is revolutionizing the way apartment rental is traditionally done.
As more user-friendly startups begin to steal market share from Craigslist, the value of disruptive innovation that reduces rental-market opacity has become ever clearer, and speaks to the expectations that renters, agents and landlords now have around enabling the rental process, primarily offline in years past, with new technologies. Even more incremental changes, from video walk-throughs to new ways of slicing community rental data, have begun to play significant roles as startups cram into the real estate market, hoping for even a small slice of a huge pie. | 2019-04-20T04:27:41 | https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/04/technology-is-finally-changing-the-apartment-rental-experience/?utm_content=buffer4751a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer |
We’ve been working on the path to becoming an Enterprise Architect (EA). In the last article, we looked at acquiring knowledge that you’ll use in the role, but what about the skills required to use that knowledge?
To complete the picture, an EA needs to have a solid understanding of business practices. A key goal of the EA is to become a trusted advisor to the business, and that requires speaking the same language as the business stakeholders he or she seeks to advise.
Without doubt, the ability to communicate effectively to a range of stakeholders is critical for an EA. Many of these stakeholders are exceptionally time-poor. It is not uncommon that you will be given only a few minutes of their time to get important messages across, and gain their support.
Crystallizing your thinking is important. What information is necessary to convey the required understanding of the problem or opportunity and the solution? Visualisation techniques are also important, although many business stakeholders are uninterested in the technical notations used in architecture practices. Think about how to convey meaning, using easy to understand representations. Keep words to a minimum, particularly in presentations, and look for maximum value from the available time.
Also, learn to speak their language. If you’re talking to the CFO, learn financial terminology, and present the information they need to know to understand the impact of your initiative. For example, think about questions such as: “How will your solution affect the operational profit?”, “Will it result in greater Operational Expenditure (OPEX)?” and “What does the Cost Benefit Analysis or Return on Investment (ROI) calculation look like for the material you are presenting?”.
Business Acumen – Understanding the nature of the operation of a business, and the common language of those that are responsible for steering the ship, is fundamental. Equally important is a solid understanding of the market within which your business operates. Thirdly, you must have a deep understanding of your business’ strategy and, if available, any plans in place to realize it.
Negotiation – There are often tradeoffs required to get an initiative executed, or to bring about a change in direction for the organization. The ability to look for acceptable compromises and win-win situations is therefore imperative.
Relationship Building – Establishing and maintaining relationships takes time, but is essential to gain the requisite trust to be able to get support for the architectures and roadmaps you produce as an EA.
Motivation and Leadership – The ability to convey a compelling vision for the future is a skill that can be of great value to an Enterprise Architect, as is the ability to gain support for that vision and to motivate those around you to want to achieve that same set of goals. Understanding the individual motivations of those stakeholders is important, along with the overall or business motivation. Tools and techniques are available to assist with this, such as the Business Motivation Model from OMG, or the ArchiMate Motivation Extension. Deliverables based on these paradigms can be reviewed with stakeholders to ensure an accurate understanding of their motivations. A characteristic that can be observed in many successful EAs related to this skill is empathy. Being able to experience and therefore understand what drives an individual can give you a greater perspective on how to apply ALL of the skills related to communication.
Holistic Views – Given the remit of Enterprise Architecture, it comes as no surprise that EAs should be able to visualize a big picture for their organization’s future state. Successful EAs have a tendency to avoid tunnel-vision by constantly reviewing and rationalizing their own material and information from the surrounding environment. Assumptions must be challenged and minimized wherever possible to avoid this trap. In order to minimize the effects of their own prejudices and limitations, EAs must be adept at facilitating peer reviews where all participants feel welcome to contribute. In peer review meetings or written interactions, EAs should explicitly and enthusiastically acknowledge constructive criticism or new insights.
Abstraction and Conceptualisation – The breadth of concerns addressed by an EA when creating future state architectures can be difficult to manage. The ability to identify patterns of behavior or structure and form abstract concepts is crucial here. Equally important is the ability to conceptualize what a future state might look like. It’s often mentioned that there are elements of both engineering (science) and design (art) in what is done in the architecture disciplines. That artistic side of the EAs work comes to the fore in how he or she can represent complex scenarios in easy to understand ways. This ties back to the communication skills mentioned earlier.
Problem Solving and Innovation – The world is constantly changing, and the pace of that change is increasing. An effective EA knows how to assess large quantities of information available through a variety of sources, and extract and integrate what is relevant to their organization. To make this more challenging, there are often time pressures involved, meaning that an EA must be able to think quickly about how external changes can be used to create innovative solutions within their own business. Motivation and Leadership skills play a role here as well. Creating a culture of innovation by creating a compelling vision for the future can assist the EA in getting internal resources “on-board” and contributing to their efforts. Having more innovation within the organization will lighten the load on the EA.
Discovery and Learning – Closely related to innovation is a strong sense of curiosity and a desire to continually learn. A significant amount of material is available through books, online forums, workshops, seminars, conferences and peer interaction. Most high-quality EAs that I have encountered are always looking for ways of learning from the experience and insight from others.
Coupled with these skills, an Enterprise Architect will typically have a strong focus on process improvement. So much of an organization’s ability to compete is related to the efficiency of their processes. That can also be said of the Enterprise Architecture team. The development of reusable processes and artifacts that can enable a greater understanding of the enterprise and the interactions between its constituent parts.
One process of particular focus for the EA is oversight of change. An EA may create a vision for the future state of the organization, but he or she cannot deliver the required change that realises that vision. This falls to capabilities such as the Project Management Office, which typically delivers change through a series of projects. Oversight of these projects is required by the EA function, which must provide effective guidance that helps projects advance without incurring unnecessary risk or technical debt.
There are resources available to help you with your skills development from professional bodies such as IASA, CAEAP or one of the regional associations such as Australian Computer Society, British Computer Society, or the IEEE Computer Society. You can also use frameworks such as SFIA to help understand the related skills and plan your development.
Finding a mentor is also a great way of developing a career plan. Do you know people who represent the skills we’ve discussed in this article? They may not be Enterprise Architecture professionals. Many of these skills exist in other professions, particularly communication skills. Working with someone that can help guide you through your own development can be very beneficial.
So there you have it. To boil it down to two keywords, the most important things you need in your armory are logic and empathy. It seems overly simplistic, but these are the foundations that I’ve seen time and time again in successful Enterprise Architects. Coupled with a high degree of emotional intelligence, they enable an EA to develop a compelling vision for the future of their organization, and to gain the support of those that can turn that vision into reality.
In the next article, we’ll be looking at how to gain real-world experience to practice and develop these all-important skills.

With Halloween just around the corner, pumpkin carving is at an annual high, but what to do with all the innards? I don't want it all to go to waste. Can you guys provide me with some ideas? Feel free to post recipe link too.
The pulp, however, does not taste very nice, so I wouldn't recommend eating it.
Turn it into a lovely spicy pumpkin mash. Toast the pumpkin in the frying pan in butter or coconut oil along with garlic, pine nuts, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Mash it all up adding a bit of pure cream and sprinkle with flakes of toasted almond.
Spicy pumpkin and butternut squash soup for me. It's delicious and a great way to use up a lot of pumpkin!
Roast that sucker! Chop it into chunks, then roast with a sprinkling of your favourite herbs, a touch of salt, and a light sprinkling of balsamic vinegar.
Roast pumpkin is fantastic and so easy to do - once you've cut it all up of course!
For best results include some rosemary when roasting the pumpkin. | 2019-04-24T12:56:16 | http://recipeyum.com.au/what-are-good-ways-to-cook-pumpkin/ |
My transporter is getting stuck at the end of track T5, it is carrying a product with qt=6 and as per the exit control code, it should move to destination T511, but it is stuck up at the end of track.
It is a part of another model, so some tracks maybe missing as it is written in the code. But i am getting the same thing with the whole model, might be some mistake i have done somewhere.
Can someone please tell me what is the error , i am unable to find out why.
Also any tips how can i improve the model with respect to usage of so many exit controls or methods.
I managed to make the transporte keep moving by simply adding a '@.move' to the end of the entrance control to ControlsA on T6. Unfortunately I don't understand tha cause of the problem, but the @.move should at leas make the transporters move.
i deleted and created the track again, now it's working, i don't know why it wasnt working before when i did the same thing. | 2019-04-19T05:13:36 | https://community.plm.automation.siemens.com/t5/Plant-Simulation-Forum/error-on-track-exit-transporter-not-moving-forward/td-p/565577 |
Jonny Waters and Company at Freedman’s Colony Blues Jam.
Sometimes we get so caught up in reporting the nuts and bolts of what’s happening on the Outer Banks, that we forget at the heart of any community is the quality of life–the value that the people who live and work in the towns that make up the Outer Banks put in this place we call home.
That quality of life is not easily defined or readily apparent, yet it is very real. It is an important part of why so many people visit the Outer Banks every year; it is so very important to those of us who live here.
Here are the things that go into that feeling. It is a physically beautiful place to live . . . or visit. The schools in Dare and Currituck Counties (the two main counties of the Outer Banks) are as good as any schools anywhere. Proof of that comes this weekend with a group of First Flight High School students volunteering their weekend to participate in a Model UN competition in Norfolk. Luckily, none of them have to represent North Korea.
Even in February the event calendar keeps going. The 10th Annual Freedman’s Blues Jam is this Friday at the COA auditorium in Manteo–a cooperative effort between the Freedman’s Colony and the Dare County Arts Council. Saturday night the John Brown Trio will perform at the FFHS auditorium courtesy of the Outer Banks Forum for the Lively Arts.
And next weekend there’s more of the same–more great stuff for kids to do in association with the schools; more participation from the arts; and the sense that this truly is a great place to live, work or visit. | 2019-04-26T09:39:47 | https://www.brindleybeach.com/blog/quality-of-life-on-the-outer-banks/ |

There are so many reasons why you should be considering Matt Crouch this season. However we’ve only got 8 midfield spots, so they need to be good.
He’s a pure ball winner, averaging 33 and 32 disposals in the past 2 seasons respectively. Combined with an average of 4 tackles and 3 marks per game and you’ve struck Fantasy gold.
Crouch has often been considered to be a consistent player without a high ceiling. Think again. Crouch has had 12 scores of 120+ in the past 2 seasons. That’s more than Josh Kelly. Sure he has only ever scored 140+ once, but if he starts putting together games that big he’ll have pig status within a year. I’m serious.
His season averages don’t tell the full story. After the bye in 2017 Crouch averaged an insane 114.2, before averaging 120 in the Finals. That’s an average of 115 over 13 games. This included a lowest score of 96, nine scores greater than 110 and 30+ disposals in nearly every match. He had a quiet day with just 29 touches. My point is, Matt Crouch is a pure ball winner second only to Tom Mitchell. Well guess what, Mitchell isn’t going to be around in 2019.
I hear you. Why did he not make that next step in 2018? Let’s take a rain-check on that point for now and look at Crouch after the bye in 2018. Nine games. Lowest score of 94. Five scores of 120+. Sounding familiar? Matt Crouch averaged 117 after Adelaide’s bye in 2018. He also happened to have 30+ disposals in every match, except ONE. Guess how many he had?! 29, again… This is Matt Crouch’s standard.
There’s no need to be worried about his brother Brad returning to the side. If anything it can be seen as a positive! Matt dominated the backend of 2017 with Brad by his side and the Crouch brothers should dominate Fantasy once again in 2019.
Injuries. Just ask anyone who started with Crouch last year, and the prospects were looking fairly identical. Even better, ask someone who traded him in after Round 1 (me)! After pinging his hamstring on just 33 in Round 2, Crouch returned to the side and struggled for a month before missing another game in Round 9. When we heard he was battling hamstring issues again that was almost enough to put a line through him.
It wasn’t until he made it to the bye and got a week off that we saw Crouch hit peak fitness and form. We can’t be affording any slip ups again in 2019.
I think Brad has given Crouch a bad name. That man is a walking hospital ward, however Matt’s injury history isn’t too bad. He has only missed 6 games to injury in the past 3 years and played all 25 games for the Crows in 2017. It’s pure speculation to doubt Crouch’s fitness, he came flying home at the end of last season and all the boxes are being ticked early this year.
Will Matt Crouch get injured? Maybe. I don’t like to deal in maybe’s. Here’s a fact. If Matt Crouch doesn’t get injured, you’ll be losing out.
KING. With midfield spots so hotly contested and a starting price of $761,000 not exactly cheap, Crouch certainly isn’t a must have. However with Mitchell down he’s even more locked into my team than before. Worrying about injuries is overthinking it. If he’s fit heading into Round 1, he’s an uber premium at a discount. That’s good enough for me.
What does Matt Crouch average in 2019?
They also didn’t have Bryce Gibbs in the backend of 2017 when both brothers played. Still an element of risk for me.
How do you think they will affect each other? Crouch will win the ball no matter who’s in the team. No worries about resting forward for him.
Didn’t we say that last year about Geelong’s midfield? With the inclusion of Ablett and Kelly, clearance numbers decreased for Ablett, Selwood, and Danger. Ablett and Danger were also down on possessions.
I’m not saying Crouch won’t still rack them up. I’m just saying basic mathematics tells me each midfield has a possession ceiling. For a bloke that only has one talent (possessions), there’s certainly some risk.
Gibbs is an outside player. Doesn’t have any impact on how crouch plays his game. Major inside mids at crows are both crouches, Sloane and greenwood.
Crouch has low tackle numbers, marks, kick to handball ratio, goals compared to other premiums. With that being the case, he’ll need to get more possessions than anyone in the history of the game just about (I’m being serious) if he were to average your predicted 113 over 22 games. I mean he finds the ball as well as anyone but still I’m not sure if that’s someone I should bank on.
Interesting take. Do we worry about Titch’s kick:handball ratio? Feel that’s irrelevant. Crouch averaged 34.7 disposals, over 5 tackles and 4 marks per game for nearly half the season to average 117. If you take out his injured 33, he still averaged 109 for the whole year. I feel 113 is easily gettable. If anything those tackle numbers can be increased! | 2019-04-25T22:34:50 | https://dreamteamtalk.com/2019/01/14/matt-crouch-deck-of-dt-2019/?replytocom=891065 |

filed: October 26, 2015 • Opinions, U.S.
Scientists estimate that hundreds of thousands of migratory birds die each year from collisions with the fast-spinning blades of wind turbines. This number is increasing as wind developments spread further across the landscape: tens of thousands of turbines are already located within sensitive bird habitats, with thousands more planned.
A major problem with “green” wind power is the flawed voluntary system by which wind companies are permitted to assess bird impacts and develop bird protection plans. Under regulations promulgated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, compliance with siting and operational considerations that take bird mortality into account are wholly voluntary. You wouldn’t try to protect pedestrians and drivers from collisions by making speed limits or stop signs voluntary, so why try to protect birds that way?
Environmental assessments, along with more stringent environmental impact statements, are designed to predict the environmental impact of development projects and – if needed – adjust their construction and operation to minimize harm. However, federal law only requires these site-specific assessments for the relatively few wind projects to which the government is connected in some way, such as those built on public land. Moreover, those assessments that are federally required are frequently conducted by consultants whose paychecks come from the very wind companies whose projects they are charged with assessing – a clear conflict of interest. Other projects are left completely to the discretion of wind developers, and are potentially susceptible to manipulation.
Consider for example the 48-turbine New Era Wind Energy Project proposed for Goodhue County, Minnesota, where a consultant-generated eagle assessment appeared to significantly underestimate the project’s risk to bald eagles. Independent mortality estimates generated by the Fish and Wildlife Service for the same project were at least 18 times higher than those developed by the company’s consultants. The company’s belief that the now-canceled project would have killed fewer than one bald eagle per decade seemed overly optimistic for an area with a population of more than 400 bald eagles.
Another example of a site-specific study gone wrong was a consultant-generated assessment for a wind turbine planned at the Camp Perry Air National Guard facility in Ohio, which declared that the project would have no significant environmental impact.
Not so fast: Fish and Wildlife found the assessment to be “entirely lacking” in its consideration of effects to endangered species such as the Kirtland’s warbler – among other shortcomings. In fact, even after the assessment was amended based on federal biologists’ input, Fish and Wildlife still found 32 separate deficiencies in the version that the Camp Perry facility considered final.
How could expert consultants have generated these studies – and the developers been willing to advance these projects – when so much of the relevant information about their potential impact was widely known even by amateur ornithologists familiar with these areas?
The answer could be that more rigorous assessments, especially when endangered species are involved, can trigger additional levels of federal scrutiny that can delay or even halt the projects.
Fortunately, in the case of Camp Perry, the Department of Defense did the right thing and withdrew the turbine proposal following citizen complaints over bird impacts. New Era in Minnesota, too, was abandoned, partly due to concerns about the excessive number of eagle deaths it could have caused. SouthPoint foundered following citizen complaints, as well.
Access to assessment data on such projects is not always so readily available to the public though. Only the wind companies and their consultants really know how many wind-turbine projects that are proceeding are also downplaying bird concerns in their assessments and plans.
Establish and fund a federal permitting system for wind projects that requires siting and operational input from federal wildlife biologists, both during the assessment process, and in response to any recorded bird mortality. Doing so would level the playing field for operators who intend to play fair – and protect our birds, too.
