Southern Miss Note Package / Season Statistics
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) — No. 24/25 Florida State, which has been included in the national rankings in both of the past two weeks, plays host to Southern Miss on Thursday, December 21, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Donald L. Tucker Center. The Seminoles' game against the Eagles is their final non-conference regular season game of the 2017 season. The game between the two former Metro Conference foes marks the second consecutive season the two teams have met with the Seminoles taking a 98-49 victory on Dec. 8, 2016 in Tallahassee. Florida State enters Thursday's game with a 26-game home court winning streak – the third longest in the nation and a 26-game non-conference home winning streak – the second longest current streak in the ACC (Duke, 138). Following Thursday's game against Southern Miss, the Seminoles will take time away from the basketball court to celebrate the holiday season with their families and friends. The team will be back in Tallahassee after Christmas Day to begin preparations for No. 4 Duke on December 30, 2017 at 2:00 in Durham for their first ACC game of the season. Beginning with its game against Duke, the Seminoles play 18 consecutive ACC games before participating in the ACC Tournament March 6-10 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Florida State plays host to Southern Miss at the Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee on December 21, 2017. The meeting in Tallahassee marks the 26th meeting between the two teams who were both members of the Metro Conference and met every year from 1983 through 1991. The Seminoles are 11-2 at home against Southern Miss in a series that dates back to the 1951-52 season. Doc Sadler, who is in his fourth season as the head coach at Southern Miss, has been the head coach at four schools – Arkansas-Fort Smith, Texas El-Paso, Nebraska and Southern Miss – and has only coached against Florida State once – last season's 98-49 loss to the Seminoles. Chris Croft, an assistant coach on the Eagles' staff, was an administrative assistant under the famed Eddie Sutton at Oklahoma State during the 1997 and 1998 season – Sutton was named the head coach at Oklahoma State after current Seminole head coach Leonard Hamilton left the Cowboys to take the head coaching job at Miami. Croft was also a program specialist at Nebraska under Sadler when the Seminoles defeated the Cornhuskers by a 74-60 margin on December 31, 2005 at the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise. Clarence Weatherspoon, also an Eagle assistant, played against Florida State five times (1988, 1990 and 1991) with the Seminoles wining all five games

Introduction: Gear360 VR Home Video
The Samsung Gear 360 VR camera is now available and it's amazing. Now it is possible to capture all 360 degrees, of your priceless moments. I've been making photospheres for a while now Check out this awesome Instructable. https://www.instructables.com/id/360-degree-Photospheres but now the Gear360 makes it easy and allows you to make 360 videos with the push of a button. Gear 360 also makes it easy to create VR ready content like virtual tours, 360 documentaries, immersive photos & videos and time-lapse shots that can be enjoyed in virtual reality head sets like the Samsung Gear VR.
the second image shown in this step is a 360 photo from a scenic overlook, of America's mountain Pikes Peak. This is the peak that provided inspiration for "America the Beautiful". You can see this photo in 360 format HERE.
I will cover the basics of set up and getting started using the built in features of the camera, as well as how to get the most out of the Gear 360 with the accompanying app and PC video editor Action Director. I will also show how I modified some inexpensive accessories, to make a portable kit including a monopod and tripod that when combined gives you an 8' tall stand that won't interfere with your 360 degree shots and breaks down to less than 15". Thanks to theinsidersnet.com for the early access to this amazing device.
Step 1: Getting Started
The Samsung Gear 360 camera comes in a compact case that conceals everything you'll need to start taking 360 photos and videos.
Contents include:
Gear360 camera
mini tripod
32 GB SD card
USB to micro USB charging cable
micro fiber lens cloth
Quick Start Guide and warranty
Actiondirector video editor activation code
cloth carrying case
The SD card can be installed directly into the camera behind the access cover. This is where the battery goes as well. Before you can start taking photos you need to fully charge the battery. To do that you need to install the battery in the camera and then use the cable provided to connect the camera to a power source like a phone charger or computer. While charging there will be a red LED on the side of the camera and once the camera battery is fully charged the LED will turn green. while you wait you should review the quick start guide. Once the battery is charged you're ready to get started.
Step 2: Taking Your First Photos and Videos
The Gear 360 can be used as a stand alone camera, using the built in three button interface and display. the buttons are labeled Back, Menu, & OK. the back button navigates back in the menus as you would expect, but it also serves as the power button. hold the back button down to turn the camera on/off. the menu button scrolls through the camera modes, which include photo, video and time-lapse. you can also select settings where you can change resolution, timer and toggle between dual camera or single front or back camera. The official manual is available HERE. When you power on the gear360 for the first time the display will light up with icons and numbers. The icons show you what mode the camera is in and the numbers tell you how much recording time or how many photos can be added depending on the current mode. The battery condition is also illustrated on the display. LEDs located next to each camera lens indicate if the camera is in dual, front or back camera mode. To capture your first image simply push the "okay" button on top of the camera. You will see a timer start from 2 and then your photo is captured. By default the timer is set to 2 seconds to give you time to get out of the way, but this setting can be adjusted by navigating the "menu" button and selecting the timer function using the "okay" button. the built in controls are limited, but still allow you to use the camera's photo, video and time-lapse features without a Samsung phone or the Android app.
Step 3: the Gear 360 VR App
Add a remote and view finder with your android phone and the Gear 360 VR app. If you have a Samsung phone, S6, Note 5 or newer then I would highly recommend downloading the Gear360 app from Samsung. You can download the Samsung Gear 360 app from the Google Play store or from the Galaxy app store. If you turn on your NFC function on your phone and hold it next to the NFC antenna located next to the battery hatch, you will be automatically directed to the app in the Galaxy store. With the Gear360 app you can see a live 360 preview of the camera. You can view photos and video saved on the SD card in the Gear360 camera. You also have easy access to all the camera's settings. From the settings page you can access an online user's manual and you can update the firmware on the camera. And perhaps the best feature of all, you can stitch your 360 photos and videos together on the go, in the mobile app, and share directly to social media sites like Facebook, Google+ and YouTube. Those sites have added support for 360 content that allow you friends, family and followers to share your media the it was meant to be experienced, including through a VR headset.
To use the app, first make sure the camera is powered on then open the app and press the Gear360 tab. The app automatically turns on your device's bluetooth and wifi to pair with the camera. Once paired you will see any photos and videos listed with thumbnail images. To remote control the camera, press the camera icon on the bottom right side of the screen and you will see the live preview. The mode button will toggle between photo, video, video loop and time-lapse. There is also a lens button to toggle between dual, front and back cameras. At the bottom center of the screen is the shutter button and all you have to do is click to start recording or take a photo. along the top of the live preview screen are your resolution, white balance, and other image options. One notably absent feature, of the app, is the ability to sticth together 4K video. For this you will need to download Gear360 Actiondirector.
Step 4: Action Director
ActionDirector is a Windows based video editing program that let's you stitch together the two 180 degree videos into a full 360 degree video that can be uploaded to sites such as Facebook and YouTube, where they can be shared and viewed in full 360 format. You can download Action director HERE.
In the Gear360 packaging you will find a small slip of paper with a long activation code on it. This is your free access to the Cyberlink Gear360 ActionDirector software. If you lose the activation code you will have to pay to replace it. ActionDirector has too many features to name here, but in short it allows you to combine multiple videos and/or photos, add titles or other text, create slow or fast motion effects, dub sound or music and render video in the highest resolution possible with the Gear360 and much more. I made a short video tutorial to illustrate how easy it is to get started with the basic features.
For my first attempt I used 360 degree photos and compiled them together into a 360 degree video slide show.
Step 5: Accessories
If your serious about making great 360 content, you will need to get creative with ways to set up your camera to get the most immersive shots possible. The tripod that comes with the Gear 360 is a great compact and convenient stand, but to get the most out of the camera you will need some additional options to allow you to capture 360 video and photos with as little obstruction as possible. First, I needed to extend the height of the factory tripod, so that I could place the tripod on a table and have the camera be at head height with the people sitting at the table. For this, I found that the thread in the camera was a standard 1/4"-20 thread. This meant I could simply go to the hardware store and but a short length of threaded rod and a 1/4"-20 coupler, which would allow me to attach the threaded rod to the factory tripod and mount the camera 15" higher then I could before.
Next I wanted to be able to have my Gear360 standing on the floor, at eye level with standing people, without having a large tripod in each shot. I found a cheap Targus tripod at Walmart, that collapses to 15" , but has a stable base even when the legs are not extended. If I extend the legs then more of the tripod obstructs the shot, so I removed the plastic camera mount that came with the tripod. Then I bought a Monopod/Selfie Stick also from Walmart for about $5. I removed the rubber hand grip and found the the base of the monopod and the telescoping center pof th tripod were both 1/2" tubing. So all I had to do was couple the two pieces of 1/2" tubing together. I'm sure there are better ways to accomplish this task, but I did it by hammering a 3/8" threaded rod coupler into the 1/2" tubing, on both the tripod and the monopod. Now I have a hex shape socket in the tripod that fits the hex coupler I left in the monopod, giving me a stand that can extend to more than 8' but can still collapse to 15" for portability.
The next custom mount I made was for the passenger seat of my car. since I had some left over 1/4"-20 threaded rod, I took an old head rest from a junkyard vehicle and stripped it down the metal frame. All I had to do was drill a 1/4" hole and fasten the threaded rod in place. This gives me a passengers eye view for first person story telling or scenic tours.
I see a lot more custom mounts in my future. Kites, Drones, zip lines, a clamp for a bicycle or bicycle helmet. It's time to get creative and start making 360 content of our own.

In a nut shell
Vornrak Doett is the last son of three. His mother died giving birth to him, bringing curse upon his family for a jalil gave her life for a jaluk to live. His older twin brothers however never turned their backs on him and they grew quite found of each other.
He never cared much about fighting the Drow wars, wanting to take care of his growing old father. Both brothers went however to training academy and became proficient fighter. One day they joined with Drow forces as free agents into a raid of the Lunar Temple on the surface, to punish those outcasts. But only a few sargtlinen came back from this fight for the surfacer were well prepared. They however succeeded in attacking the outcasts temple.
Disturbing news came to his ears, as a surviving squire told him his brother were slain on their way back by an angry darthir named Beleg. Lucky was he to make it back alive, for his party were cribbled by hails of arrows. At the sound of these tidings, Vornrak Doett tremble a bit, managing somehow to contain his sorrow, which was soon replaced by great anger. He never new he could old so much wrath, and without even thinking as for the pain for unbearable, he grabbed the squire knife and fled. He swore to avenge his brothers and get the life of this darthir.
While enraged, he managed to reach the surface. But being poorly equipped and ill trained, he was quickly spotted by the surfacer guarding the Underdark exit and utterly attacked. His vision went dimmed, his legs failing underneath him. A dark shadows passed by followed by total darkness...

Vornrak past -
The road to find faith had not been an easy one. Vornrak was the 3rd jaluk of his clan whos mother died while giving birth. He was raised away from Yathrin wisdom and education since his father kidnaped him and his 2 older twin brothers, Valduk and Valdran, for the clan Jabbress wanted to enslave them. They lived as outcasted in the Underdark, wandering from cave to cave.
His father although died from a mysterious illness from the bite of a wild cave bat, leaving the trio to survive alone, which they did for a short while. One day, they were ambushed by a band of rogue yingils, lead by a powerfull seer. They were then taken as slave, for they were not strong enough then to overcome such deadly opposition.
They were brought back to settlement and sold to the locals. They were denied to prayers and drow rituals, thus remaining faithless. Their captivity lasted until Vornrak reach young adulthood, which would sound an ethernity for simple rivvil. Not a single day they did not try to escape, paying dearly each subsequent attempts. His twin bothers, being stronger in shape and stamina taking the hits more easily than young Vornrak. They tried to teach him to become Sargtlin, showing him how to handle a blade and buckler (made of wooded sticks and ration plates), which he learned quite well but he had more skill at thievery.
One of they abductor youngling deep gnome was playing tricks on Vornrak all the occasion he could. Hiding in shadows, picking locks and stealing goods. and frame him for it. He was not realising he was teaching Vornrak valuable things.
So one day, the occasion present itself. The recalling are not clear, rather blurry has if of divine intervention. While being dragged around the settlement, they were overtaken by a group of Gnolls. In the midst of the resulting uproar, Vornrak manage to free himself. He then grabs the youngling dagger, slit his throat before cutting his brother bounds. Arrows were flying in any directions, gnomes were falling in numbers, but the projectiles somehow manage to steer away from the 3 brothers. They than ran to take refuge in a deep alcove they had spoted during their captivity.
The alcove was in fact opening to a serie of connecting tunels. Valduk lead them through this stone cut maze, until the felt out of danger.
" Something happened there ! " he sais outload. "Some greater will is guiding us, we shall seize the occasion".
So they resume their running in the ever turning, twisting and branching tunnels. They soon stumble on a drow detatchment patrolling the area. They were stoped and brought to their Yathrin, for no trespasser should have been there. Again they found their hand tied and being force against their will, but it was different, and somehow relieving.
Soon after, they were brought the a Yathrin, whom, after dispatching the patrol, set free the captive brothers. Valduk and Valdran were sent to the Sargtlin school, while Vornrak was assign to a young Shebali to help her while learning new skills.
"I shall teach you to behave as a Drow, jaluk!" she said, obviously annoyed of lack of respect he was showing her.
Vornrak did not quite understand. Being secluded all his life, this partial freedom amoung drow was the best thing that could have happen to him. Somehow he knew this was the way, the path that way drawn for him. So he stood there, staring at the shabali right in the eyes, before he got slammed in the head!
And all went dark....
Faith is an ever winding road
Vornrak has been for the service of Shebali Salena for only a few months when he eared news from his siblings. Their prowess in fighting had been noticed and they were recruited by a Morbbdalharen Jabbress. But before they were accepted into that house, they had to pass the induction ritual, to prove they were worthy. For that they were appointed the task of joining a strike force against Lunar Temple, a place on the surface where Lolth betrayers dwell. So they left uneasy but proud to show themselves to Lolth.
One, two, three weeks had passed since the announcement of the raid against Eilastraee followers. A rothe, squire of House Morbbdalharen, came to knocking at Selena quarters.
I have been told a certain Vornrak Doett resides here he asked when Vornrak himself answer the door knock. I have urgent matters for him .
Ussta uil Vornrak answerd readily.
Then the squire, reached for a large backpack and present it to him.
This is what remains of your siblings jaluken said he uneasy while bowing low.
We were ambushed on the surface and I am the only survivor. I must have been spared by your deity Lolth for I was sure my end had come. A surfacer ranger it seems slain your two brother before they had time to realize what was happening. I tough I have heard his name was Beleg, but my ears may have deceived me. I also saw, I think, the shadows of a large animal with the darthiir. I manage to outrun the beast, and somehow no arrows came on me!
He gave the bag to Vornrak and bolted in the darkness of the Underdark.
The news was very disturbing for Vornrak. He swiftly open the bag and go through its content: A Blackgard armor, 1 dagger, 1 darksteel short sword, potion of strength, invisibility and health. Only if these potions could have helped!
Anger raise rapidly in him. Why would this goddess Lolth saved them all from the wilddog Gnolls to feed them to a darthiir. Werent they on mission for her? No waiting anylonger, he went to Salena to ask permission to leave.
Dos too valuable for me Jaluk, you are ill prepared for what you seek, I refuse. Dos had to ask permission to open that door as well, said she while whipping him with her flail she was carrying solely for this purpose : Educate this jaluk.
Anger changed into rage! Without thinking he charged her and knock her unconscious, grabbed her flail and the bag that was given to him.
And he ran, he ran like he never ran before. He knew the way to the surface was difficult but he was blinded by the desire to find this darthiir and make him pay dearly for what he did.
He drank a potion of invisibility to avoid being spotted by foes that would slow his ascension. After managing the numerous tunnels and caves, finally he saw a faint light at the end of a strech cut in the rock.
The surface he mutters to himself. You will be avenged my dear brothers
He steps out of the cave. He was overwhelmed by the clean fresh air. Although it was what surfacer called night on the surface, it seem to Vornrak thousand of candles have been lit! And that foul circle of light hanging at the ceiling of this ever ending cavern!
Vornrak, dazed by all this, loss his balance and rolled in a soft and humid rug that was layout all around. It took some time for him to get accustomed to such luminescence. He wondered how could these surfacers live in such disturbing environment.
He got up and regain his balance. But the effect of his potion was fading fast. Soon he heard the sound of dozen of bow strings. He barely felt his body being skewer by a wave of piercing arrows. All started to get dark again, the kind of darkness he was so accustom to Before all went utterly black, a tall shadow rose, grabbed him and pulled him back to the cave he had erupted a few minutes earlier.
He woke up later, sored and bandaged. His wounds have been mended. A note lying on his gear.
" Usstan o'goth dos whol dos zhahen elggor. Dos zhahen ushdui bauth vharcan, bauth biu darthirii Beleg.
Usstan kyorl dos phuul naut quin kr'athin whol nindol juss'a. Jhal Usstan shlu'ta filut wun dos zhennu klezn del morfelith dos gareth z'lonzic ulu xun ol.
Lac doeb QU'ELLAR del Morbbdalharen, whol nind gumash belbau dos fol xxizz
The remaining of the signature is plainly unreadable for the letter seems to have been written in haste.
Faith found him again
** Translation **
I stopped the bleeding and mended your wounds for you nearly died. You were delirious about getting revenge and finding an "elfe surfacer" named Beleg. I clearly see you are not yet fit for this quest. But I can sense in you great qualities capable of making you strong enough to fulfill your endeavor. Seek out members of Morbbdalharen's House, for they could give you some help.

//OOC comment: Name Morcane have been replaced by Morbb'dalharen
Vornrak reaches the city of Szith and head forward to the house of Morbbdalharen to find the main door locked. He draw a piece of parchment out his bag and scribble a few words. The parchment looks wrinkled and torn as if being often read. You can read words written on the other side.
Quote :
To this house Ilharess.
Oh mighty and wise ruler, I have found my way through the caves and reached your settlement to find the main door locked. I here pledge for membership to your house. I received this note from a person who remains unknown to me at this time. I have met this Qu'el'faeruk Rizzen on my way for he is the only Morbbdalharens I found. He was however busy with other errand with another mage called Moriand so he had little time, only to show me the way.
I am a resourceful jaluk who offers his services to your house. I possess skills in sneaking and hiding so I think I could be an asset to your community. I seek to gain better training and rise in power so I can retaliate to the one that killed my two brothers.
Since I have yet no settle place, dos shall find ussa hidden in the caves nearby. Say the word so I recognize youre summoning me.
With my deep respect Oh Mighty one!
Vornrak Doett
Aka the houseless
And he sticks the note to the front door and sneaks back in the shadows
Many cycle passed.
Upon his return from an exhausting patrol, Vornrak, still holding this his letter, reaches Szith.
He meets whith Jabbress Chantecaille and Ashantree (or something like it) . After usual greetings and due respect exchanged, he shows the letter to Chantecaille.
" Humm. Interesting jaluk. I have not seen Yathrin Elvanshalee lately, but I may help you with this. Wait here while I go gather someone to process dosst request". And she walks toward the noble residences.
By the time he had to talk (so little) to Ashantree, Chantecaille was back, with a something silver glithering in hand.
" I have discussed with one of our Ilhares consilour " she said. " Your letter is legitimate and she has agreed to accept dos in Morbbdalharen House. You shall change your name at once, and keep this with you at all time. Loose this Jaluk and I will personnaly slit your throat ! " she said giving Vornrak a silver colored key.
" This will grant you access to Morbbdalharen House, use it well, use it wisely".
Vornrak reach in his backpack to get a silver chain on which he carefully attache the key. He then pass it around his neck and fit it behind his leather armor.
"This way it will be kept safe, mighty Jabbress!"
"Good Jaluk. Keep it near your heart for if it not found there, the blade of my knife will have no difficulty tear it appart. Now come, you have much training to do and I may use your service on this patrol". And she walks away, giving a head sign to Ashantree to follow as well.

HAH - right up my ally. The one line
answer is a Permineralization --- often
the word "petrification" is used in normal
discussion, but this carries the implication that
ALL of the fossil has been mineralized.
This is sometimes the case, but more often
minerals entrap original organic matter of the
organism. How does this happen? Well,
minerals are borne in soil moisture
(groundwater). These tend to precipitate out
of the groundwater in open spaces. If, by
example, you bury a tree, the cells lose their
contents but the cell walls may remain for a long
time before rotting. If these cells are invaded
by a mineral-rich groundwater, then the mineral
will precipitate out in the cavities created by
the missing cell contents - trapping the
organic material in the process.
Thus, the best "petrified" wood for
scientific study is black in color, because
it retains the original cell walls, trapped in a
hard mineral matrix. Sometimes after
a primary permineralization occurs, the cell walls
will rot out, creating spaces - a secondary
infiltration of minerals can then occur, indeed
turning the whole fossil to "stone". Often
these take on a variety of bright colors, but in
this process the cellular detail is generally
lost. These secondary replacements thus create
colorful rock-shop items, but are often not of
great scientific value. The most common mineral
involved is silica (generally from volcanic
ash), but calcite, pyrite and iron carbonate
may also create permineralizations.
Actually, it is still called a fossil! When
another mineral replaces original bone or shell
material, we call this process replacement.
Most fossils in rocks are changed from the
original material in some way. In the process of
replacement, molecules of original material are
replaced one at a time. Two common types of
replacement are calcification (replacement by
calcite) and silicification (replacement by
Permineralization is another process that
can change original plant or animal remains.
This is when voids are filled with new minerals.
The most common example is petrified wood where
silica has filled in individual plant cells.
The word 'permineralization' or 'petrification'
leaps to mind, but a permineralization is where
the mineral invades organic matter rather than
replacing it (the original carbon in petrified
wood is still there...).
Pyritization is where the
tissues are being replaced or invaded by pyrite
(pyritization is both rare and requires anaerobic
environments). However, to get genuine replacement
under normal circumstances, I think you would need
your fossil to be mineral to start with - like the
shell of a clam. That's just recrystallization.
There are a couple names that are applied to
this process. One is called replacement
where minerals replace the original organic
material. One is called permineralization
where minerals fill in empty spaces then the
organic material disintegrates around it. The
last type is called petrifaction (think
petrified wood) and is a term that covers all
types of fossils that have some or all minerals
instead of organic material.

There are several related safety measures and specific attitude, knowledge and skills which are required to conduct shooting. An adult supervision is the key element while letting youngsters and children practice shooting through air guns and pistols. Certain rules should also be followed and a regular practice will enable a perfect action during shooting. One should adapt safety through proper procedure, policies and practices. If anyone wants to gain the most basic skills or he or she wants to become a certified safety instructor, officer or a shooting coach, the training should be taken to learn and increase knowledge of shooting sports. A proper understanding of sir gun safety will help gain smooth functioning of operations while shooting. Let's get through the following safety rules:
- Never consider an air pistol or gun a toy. These should be treated with a respect and with safe hands. No ignorance or carelessness is accepted while handling these equipments. A lack of knowledge of safety and operation can be really risky. So, beware of carelessness and always be alert while handling.
- The primary rule is to keep gun pointed in a safe direction. It means that the gun should be pointed in such a manner that it would cause no injury or damage when it was to be operated. The position where finger is kept off the trigger until ready to shoot is also a safe style of holding a gun. The finger can be rested along the side of the gun or also outside the trigger guard. Not touching the trigger until ready firing is one of the safest approach.
- Keeping the gun unloaded until ready to use is a safe step. Whenever a gun is picked up, one can keep the finger off the trigger and if there is any magazine in the gun, removing it before any further action will help keep a safe distance from accidents. If one is unaware of the opening action and inspection of chamber, then the gun should be kept alone and help should be taken from someone who is an expertise. One can check the gun's state and then further steps can be taken gradually. Setting an example by religiously following these safety measures by shooters will help the practitioner to learn and adopt correct behavior while gun handling.
- Now, a safe step while handling a gun to the other person should be followed. Here, all above three rules should be followed simultaneously. The gun should be accepted from another person only if the magazine is out, its action open and the chamber is empty.
- One should be aware of the target and what lies beyond that. All standing operating procedures should be applied regarding the targets and their distances. The types and calibers of the guns which can be used should be inspected before use.
Wearing proper eye and ear protection while using guns to shoot is very essential as debris and gas emission through guns can be injurious to eyes and ears. Sound also affects ears and gun air rifles can produce enough noise pressure.

Minister Edna Molewa to inaugurate the World's First Largest Oxygen Production plant in Secunda
23 March 2018
The Minister of Environmental Affairs, Dr Edna Molewa together with SASOL and Air Liquide will officially inaugurate the World's First Oxygen Production Plant worth EUR200m (R2.9 billion) on Monday, 26 March 2018, in Secunda Mpumalanga.
The project is the largest investment of its nature by Air Liquide outside Europe. The company designed and built the oxygen unit, and will also operate it. The unit is the largest Air Separation Unit (ASU) ever built. The ASU design is based on Air Liquide proprietary technologies including several first of their kind innovations in the air compression process, which allow for an annual electricity consumption reduction of more than 20% (compared to the first generation of Air Separation Units).
For the first time, SASOL is outsourcing oxygen supply over long term to a specialist of industrial gas production at Secunda. The socio-economic benefits include: 3.7 million hours spent by contractors working on site; more than 20 highly qualified direct jobs to operate and maintain the plant; network of local companies to provide maintenance services and Air Liquide to provide more than R30 million in corporate social responsibility initiatives over the duration of this contract.

I am a big fan of Japanese woodblock prints, especially those relating to nature. The aesthetics of simplicity, muted color, and brilliant use of space (positive and negative), is very pleasing to me. Over the last several years, I have been conscious of my desire to work in a more minimalist style. One way in which I create in that style is with a long telephoto lens. With the narrow perspective and thin depth of field of a long lens I can isolate objects and compress elements within the composition.
This beautiful Weeping Cherry tree is one of my favorite features of our farm property and one which I go to each spring to experience anew. On this overcast April day, I watched a House Finch explore the tree's bowing branches. The combination of pink flowers and rosy red of the House Finch create a harmonious combination. I composed for a bit of contrasting tonalities in the background and with sufficient negative space on the left to keep the image airy and light.
I like this new piece very much. It represents the direction my work has been heading now for a few years and which I am continuing to build upon. I made the print on a matte paper which maintains the subtlety of tones and softness of the light. It will be introduced this weekend in Timonium, Maryland as I tour with the Sugarloaf Craft Festival.
The finished piece titled House of the Weeping Cherry, is approximately 10×14, double-matted to 16×20 with all acid-free materials, and framed in white with UV-Protective, Reflection-control glass. The Edition is limited to 100 and is part of "The 100" Series, priced at $239.00 framed and $114.00 matted. Both are available at my gallery on-line HERE.

Earth Observation Evolved - Engage Conference 2018 - 10/07/2018
The Engage conference, organised by DigitalGlobe has become a fixture in the Earth observation (EO) calendar in London. Engage 2017, reported in GW July/August last year, detailed new uses of EO data, for example in businesses such as insurance and health, and the wide use of products such as DEMs; the increasing use of data analytics was also a major topic. This trend was continued in 2018 where presentations emphasised the development of platforms: the use of data from many sources in combination with EO data and tailoring services to customer requirements and partnerships.
The event attracted a large international attendance. Perhaps the biggest partnership at the centre of the proceedings was MAXAR, a combination of four companies, SSL, involved in space systems, MDA best known for Radarsat, DigitalGlobe and Radiant Solutions dealing with analytics, together covering most aspects of EO in commercial and government markets. The CEO of MAXAR technologies announced that a new constellation was being developed to replace Worldview, known as Worldview Legion, to start operation in 2021 with higher revisit times.
Pacome Revillion, CEO of Euroconsult, gave an overview of the current market situation. Future solutions will be based on constellations, whilst there is argument on whether to have revisit to any or every point on the Earth. There is also discussion on whether to design taskable or non-taskable satellites, and comparing on-demand with subscription services. He argued that because more than 90% of the world's population live in ±55o, which is also the most cloud persistent area, emphasis should be placed on increasing revisit in these areas, possibly by combining orbital planes. Revillion also stressed the importance of free data increasing usage, particularly mentioning Copernicus.
One of the most noticeable features of the meeting was the presence of large corporations such as Allianz, SAP, AWS (Amazon Web Services), PwC and Vodafone. These companies are realising the important role EO has in providing information to decision makers and are developing platforms which incorporate ingestion of data from EO and third parties, data processing and data analytics, and are offering services tailored to customer needs; all of course using artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the cloud.
Hinnerk Gildhoff from SAP spoke of 'Spatial Processing Redefined' and was encouraging companies to use EO data in their business, combining EO data with business data and using components such as change detection, classification, risk prediction and anomaly detection. Vodafone concentrates on the use of low power narrowband IoT with EO data for agriculture, particularly in wine production. Yandex, a Russian company works with PwC on the Space Data Lab and makes use of crowdsourcing.
Jed Sundwall from Amazon Web Services (AWS) showed how making Earth observation data available in the cloud allows scientists, researchers, start-ups and GIS professionals to innovate without worrying about limitations of bandwidth, storage, memory, or processing power. He also talked about the processing of data lakes (unstructured data), by providing software to make it easier to find wanted data. He noted that a great deal of time is wasted in cleaning data and talked of cloud optimised Geotiff and use of the Landsat-tiler from Mapbox. Other talks emphasising similar themes came from e-GEOS and Allianz.
A number of developments in processing were mentioned. One of the more interesting was the combination of optical and radar data. This has been coming for some time and the OptiSAR constellation from Urthecast is an indication of the potential of this. MDA presented work done which has been used for cross-cueing of Radarsat and Worldview data for maritime surveillance and ship identification. Change can be identified from amplitude data and interpreted with optical data to find new buildings and mining. There will also be a Radarsat constellation mission.
UK Activities
Beth Greenaway, Head of Earth Observations and Climate at the UK Space Agency talked about EO in the UK. The Space Industry Act has been passed and an EO technology strategy defined. 'Space for Smarter Government' has set the scene and identified climate, polar, SDGs, air quality and marine as key areas. She noted that EO was moving from the public to public/private domain and saw Copernicus as a long term commitment and a game changer.
New Companies and Applications
A quite small exhibition gave space to companies to demonstrate their activities on computer screens. Geospatial Insight and Terrabotics are relatively new UK start-ups offering geospatial intelligence, DEMs and change detection to a number of businesses. FATMAP, also present at Engage 2017, has been developing its suite of DEMs.
Another UK SME is IMGeospatial which has developed a product called AIMEE which uses multiple data sources, including Unique Property Reference Numbers, for carrying out building surveys, claiming accuracy within 5% of a physical survey. This is used for insurance purposes in collaboration with Allianz and will be available on GBDX for trial. They use a tool called Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) developed by Safe Software which connects different formats. No detail was given of the methods used.
Some new takes on applications were discussed. EO used for humanitarian applications included refugees, particularly related to Syria, and mapping slavery, a project being developed at the University of Nottingham. The industries where slaves are forced to work, such as mines, kilns, quarries and in agriculture, can be identified and future work will look at combining EO derived information with other data from phones, the dark web or financial data. Crowd-sourcing is used to validate information. Imagery is being used to provide information to pilots about airports and their environments and to identify and counter fake news.
Engage 2018 provided a useful snapshot of the state of Earth observation in terms of trends, new applications and expectations. The status of EO was summed up by Sha Har-Noy, Vice President of DigitalGlobe in charge of their Unified Platform, as 'extending the reach of our industry'.

Wowsers! I had the craziest experience of my life today! What sucks a bunch though, is that because of privacy (and my own safety) I can't tell you what happened....crap huh!
I'll tell you loosely in about six months when things have settled down and the tale can seem more random.
It pretty much consists of violence and guns and emotions and lots and lots and lots of blood and....and of course....death!
Sorry to be so elusive y'all.

Some decent and lasting rainfall today. It hasn't rained significantly since June. Today is cool, 10C and very wet.
Still plugging away on handling scans. Every roadblock that I hit seems to have been solved by someone. Interestingly, it seems the real challenge is defining the problem space.
Where am I? I'm about to test orsu threshold code. I'm thinking that all I really need to do is basic cleanup, get the image segments defined, pass them to ocr, check if results are reliable, and if not do more extensive (and time consuming) cleanup. It seems the only areas where there are real issues are text with shaded background, which when scanned ends up a mess of blots, and places where text size changes on the same horizontal line. Other than that, the ocr seems reliable. So why waste time preprocessing other areas?

Tipping Point
Some things of note: SANE, the scanner backend system, is going to do HAL notifications in the next version. So if the scanner is plugged in, possibly if buttons are pushed (not sure) HAL will broadcast through dbus etc so that apps can respond appropriately. Neat. Too late for 4.0, but SOLID would appreciate a patch no doubt.
ASUS is going to release their small and cheap notebook, the Eee PC. Here is a hands on review. This really interests me. I use a Palm right now, and would like a small portable notebook. Inexpensive helps. It seems the really small light notebooks are also the most expensive, the cheap ones don't have any realistic battery life. The Eee weighs less than 2 lbs, costs less than $500, battery life 3-4 hours. Quite resource limited, however. They will be available at the end of the month, possibly. Be interesting to see how they work out.
I don't think I've written so much code in the last couple of months ever, and thrown most of it away. Sometimes the most difficult thing to do with a project is defining the problem. Once that is done, the solutions are evident. I'm working on cleaning up scanned documents, and coming up with blocks to feed through the ocr engines. There are utilities available, such as unpaper, but they are focussed on a different problem set. Playing with graphic data is endlessly fascinating, with the various edge detection algorithms, etc. Great fun.
Speaking of edges, are we on the edge of a realization that the structures that worked so well for development and distribution of server applications fall flat when applied to desktop systems? This LWN article describes the unintended consequences when the various players in enterprise distributions attempt to satisfy the need for stability. The mainstream kernel has drivers for new hardware, but the enterprise distros don't distribute newer kernels, which encourage hardware manufacturers to develop binary modules for the said enterprise distro. Boom. All the work in encouraging free and open development goes to naught when hardware people can't get their drivers out except through binary modules.
What unintended consequences could arise from how things are structured in the desktop realm? Aaron was wondering about what it all means and where it's going. I have an idea. What thought process has led to a situation where a person wanting to develop a broadly capable app, using web, document creation, IPC, and desktop integration would have to learn at least 3 completely different API's? That on top of the multiple API' of supporting libraries. This is the situation in the most commonly distributed desktop available. Frankly, I'm not interested, freedom or not. KDE has the possibility of being the integrator of all the different api's that developers would need. One line calls to get a necessary service. This is neat and a differentiates KDE from anything else out there.
Essentially the primary linux desktop right now is equal to windows 3.0 with a web browser. If anyone wants to know why the marketshare sucks, or Dell is having trouble integrating, look no further. Unintended consequences of decisions made for good reasons.

The latest offering from industry trailblazer Moguai and the LA based trio Cheat Codes is a deep house feel track titled "Hold On". The smooth and soulful vocals rise and fall with the consistent melody that is neither soft nor loud and in your face. It keeps pace with the vocals and engages the listener as a track you can relax and turn down to, or one you can slowly dance to around an intimate setting. This deeper track combines a bright melody with vocals that reach out and grab you. They aren't demanding and off-putting, but rather touch the listener and send messages far below anything superficial.
You can listen to this soulful track from Moguai and Cheat Codes below as well as on Spotify! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

|Associate Professor Simon Craig
The study, which compared traditional 'low-flow' oxygen to high-flow therapy in 1472 infants, found that the need to escalate care was less in those receiving high-flow.
Published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, the study involved 17 hospitals across Australia and New Zealand, including researchers from Monash University, Monash Children's Hospital, the Paediatric Critical Care Research Group (PCCRG) located at the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital and the Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative (PREDICT). This collaboration makes it the largest paediatric study in this field worldwide.
Bronchiolitis—caused by a viral infection in the lungs—is the most common reason for infants under 12 months to be admitted to hospital, with 10 per cent of them requiring intensive care.
Study co-author Associate Professor Simon Craig from Monash University said the team found that high-flow oxygen therapy – a treatment which originated from intensive care units - was safe in the ward environment and led to less escalation of care. However, the study showed no difference in hospital length of stay, need for intensive care admission, or duration of oxygen therapy between the two treatment groups.
"We have demonstrated that stepping up to high-flow is safe in the ward environment," said Associate Professor Craig, who is also a Monash Health paediatric emergency physician.
"Some children with bronchiolitis get sicker while in hospital. We've found that a therapy which was previously reserved for intensive care units can be delivered safely in emergency departments and on general paediatric wards," Associate Professor Craig said.
"This means that we can reduce the number of infants and their families from regional areas who need to be relocated to one of the major cities for the duration of their illness.
"Relocating a family means they are unfamiliar with their surrounds and don't have access to their usual support network.
"Most children with bronchiolitis don't need high-flow therapy. However, it's nice to know that – if they need it – we can do it safely outside of intensive care. This lets us keep children in their own community hospitals, reducing the impact on the child and the family," Associate Professor Craig said.
High-flow nasal oxygen therapy works by delivering a higher volume of air and oxygen into the nasal passages to improve breathing.
The research was led by The University of Queensland Mater Research Institute (UQ-MRI) and Lady Cilento Children's Hospital and funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Emergency Medicine Foundation, the Mater Foundation and several Australian hospital foundations.

Our Added Value
The experience and ingenuity of SHERMAN IP attorneys adds value to our client's patent applications. Many inventors sometimes arrive at their concept(s) in a "tunnel" as they are trying to solve one particular problem. SHERMAN IP attorneys have the ability, creativity and vision to help the inventor derive additional concept applications, alternative embodiments, and future development potential for their inventions.
Some important strategies in patent application drafting which provide patent application robustness involve: foreseeing potential infringers, determining potential "design around(s)," coming up with alternative embodiments, determining detectability of infringing use, application of the inventive concept(s) to other technologies, concept expansion and taking account of recent changes in the law and USPTO rules. SHERMAN IP attorneys are well versed in these strategies and incorporate these strategies when drafting the patent application description and claims.
By assisting in developing concept expansion, SHERMAN IP attorneys assist inventors to envision further potential markets for their inventions. Combined with our legal expertise, educational knowledge and work experience, we wear our "inventor's hat" in order to help the inventor expand inventive concepts and even derive new concepts, which results in further added value to all of your Intellectual Property needs.

The kitchen is coming along…
Very (VERY) Slowly…
Cabinets are in and painted (but without doors until next week)
Undercabinet lights (LED) are in. Haven't picked lights for ceiling but not in a rush.
I am not going to put pictures on until the doors are on!
We've decided on butcher block countertops for several reasons:
- They are pretty
- The green factor (we'll use an oil finish and use a company that uses sustainable woods etc.)
- Toughness factor- just have to sand to get dings and such out
- It's pretty cheap
Not sure about the countertop for the island though. I wanted something I could roll dough on, that was cooler like steel or marble but the prices I'm finding are crazy!
Trying to decide on a backsplash now.
I want recycled glass tiles I think. Maybe some handmade tiles for accent. To keep costs down this is the way to go. I found glass tile from $3-$9 per square foot which isn't bad.
For the glass I'm waiting on some samples from a company we used for our bath remodel in our current house (we used Hakatai Emerald blend and it's beautiful.) LOVE their tile and it wasn't expensive. Also considering ordering from myknobs.com if the shipping ends up being cheaper.
The handmade accent tiles I've found on etsy and on earthsongtiles.com I really like.
Debating these now:

New Consumer Goods market report from Euromonitor International: "Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2030: The Future Demographic"
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2013 -- In 2030, the population of Bosnia-Herzegovina will fall to 3.6 million, a decrease of 5.0% from 2012. The population will shrink in 2012-2030 due to negative net migration, a declining number of births and an increasing number of deaths. Meanwhile, the population will be ageing rapidly and by 2030 Bosnia-Herzegovina will be the 10th oldest country in the world. The biggest city in 2012 was Sarajevo and will remain so in 2030 when its population will account for 19.3% of the urban population.
