Elis Look to Finish Winning Season on a Strong Note
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's tennis team will look to cap its winning season with an emphatic victory when it travels to play its season finale against No. 58 Brown on Saturday at 2 p.m. The Elis have not won a match since dramatically upsetting No. 42 Columbia, but they will have one more chance to snap their losing slide when they play Brown, a team currently tied with Yale at sixth place in the Ivy League standings.
Yale (13-10, 2-4 Ivy League) dropped out of the national rankings this week from its No. 73 position owing to losses against No. 49 Dartmouth and No. 23 Harvard, but the Bulldogs will be able to put their recent disappointment behind them with a strong performance on Saturday at Brown. The winner of this match will move into a three-way tie for fourth place in the Ivy League standings along with No. 72 Cornell and Princeton, while the loser will drop to seventh place in the standings. Yale will also be looking to finish its season with a winning record in away matches, as the Bulldogs are currently 7-7 on the road.
The doubles point has anchored Yale's success all season. It has taken particularly strong performances from opponents to secure the doubles point at the Elis' expense. In addition, the Bulldogs have only been swept in doubles once all season, against No. 10 Stanford back in early March. At No. 1 doubles, the nationally ranked No. 85 team of juniors Daniel Hoffman and Marc Powers is on a three-match winning streak, and carries an impressive 16-4 season record into its final match of the season. Yale's No. 2 doubles team of sophomore Patrick Chase and junior John Huang had a tough weekend of losses, and will look to recover the form that saw the duo go on a seven-match winning streak earlier this season. The No. 3 team of senior captain Erik Blumenkranz and classmate Joel Samaha will look to end its Yale doubles career in the best possible fashion with a resounding victory this Saturday.
Yale's Ivy League season has largely been determined by the outcome of three-set singles matches. The four Ivy League teams that have defeated Yale have collectively outscored Yale 7-4 in singles matches that have gone to a deciding set. Yale won these four three-set matches, however, after the opposing team has already clinched the overall victory. Conversely, when the Bulldogs beat Penn, they won the two matches that went to a deciding set that day, and when the Bulldogs upset Columbia, Hoffman won a tight three-set match to clinch the victory.
Yale's No. 1 singles player, Huang, continues to befuddle opponents with a relentless combination of power and consistency. He has not had to play a three-set match since playing Stanford and has only lost once in his last 11 matches. Powers, who played at the No. 2 spot against Dartmouth, will look to finish his season by regaining the form that saw him grind out a deserved victory against Harvard last Friday. The Bulldogs' indefatigable singles player, Hoffman, will look to complete a stellar undefeated Ivy League season with a win against Brown. Hoffman has won 15 of his last 16 matches. Yale's No. 4 singles player, Blumenkranz, will look to regroup after a tough loss against Dartmouth to post a win in his final match as a Bulldog. Yale's No. 5 player, sophomore Kyle Dawson, also looks to regroup on the heels of a tough three-set loss to Dartmouth. In the last three matches, the No. 6 singles position has been occupied by three different players, junior Zachary Dean, freshman Zachary Krumholz and Samaha, all of whom would be hungry to earn a win for Yale in the season finale.
Brown (16-7, 2-4 Ivy League) goes into Saturday's match with an impressive 10-1 home record on the season, with the sole loss coming in its last match against Harvard. The Bears will therefore be confident and motivated when battling Yale for a share of fourth place in the Ivy League standings. In last season's match between Brown and Yale, the Bears swept the doubles and took all but one singles match to hand the Bulldogs a 6-1 defeat.
Regardless of the outcome of Saturday's match, however, the Bulldogs are guaranteed to finish the 2011-12 season with a winning record, a reversal of last season's 9-13 record.

UH Hilo Pharmacy students present marketing plans in case competition
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Tuesday, December 7, 2010
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, 974-7642
For Immediate Release
A team of third-year University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo College of Pharmacy students won almost $2,000 in the fall semester's marketing case competition held on November 19, which featured a product that will make medication management more efficient. CoP faculty, Hawai'i- and California-based Target officials served as judges.
Winning students were Bernie Cheng, Megan Ching, Richelle Hirata, Jeff Retter and Jessie Wong. They were one of 20 teams of 89 students from Dr. Mok Chong's course that focuses on exposing future pharmacists to business practices.
"This exercise teaches students how things run in the real world and shows them how they can make it happen," said Chong, who is an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice. "Several students have said they don't understand why they would have to learn the marketing concepts as part of the PharmD curriculum and could not understand how this can be important for a pharmacist. I tell them that many pharmacists who are now practicing pharmacy in various settings tell me that they wished they had the opportunity to learn this skill when they were in school. They now realize that such a course can prepare them to be more efficient and marketable in the pharmacy marketplace."
The winning team devised a marketing plan to sell a product called "ClearGuide" that is designed to help patients take their medications more regularly. According to the marketing plan, "ClearGuide" will add value to services already offered by providing personalized drug information to customers, along with directions for use, a photo of the medication and description of major side effects.
Chong anticipates Target will submit the plan to corporate headquarters.

Fullscreen flash video in GNU/Linux: "First, if you are unfamiliar with the problem, go to YouTube, pick any video, and double-click on the video, or click on the little fullscreen icon, and you'll see that the video begins to get really slow, and choppy, from dropping frames."
Audacious 2.1 Review – Powerful Audio Replacement for XMMS: Audacious is a powerful audio player for Linux which resembles the older XMMS, only using GTK2 toolkit for its interface. It supports XMMS and implicitly Winamp 2.x skins, coming with support for various audio formats, including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) or WMA (Windows Media Audio).
42 Hot Free Linux Games (Part 3 of 3): Linux enjoys a very large software library of games, the vast majority of which can be downloaded without any payment. Helping to identify great games is made difficult by the fact that to a large extent games are a matter of taste. Furthermore, some players prefer games of tactics, others enjoy the communication with fellow gamers. There are those who hanker for games that require quick reflexes, or which truly challenge the mind.
An Open Letter to Michael Dell: Why I have no choice but return my Ubuntu Inspiron Mini 10: I have been a fan of yours for many years — since I was a kid in fact! I watched as you created Dell, one of the first ("the" first?) companies that sold computers by mail order. I watched you become wealthy, successful, and then retire, only to come back to Dell to remind its managers what they seemed to have forgotten: listen to your customers. I watched you embrace GNU/Linux; I remember thinking: I wonder if people realise what this will actually mean. I am sure he does. So, here I am: I bought an Inspiron Mini 10. I have no choice but return it. And now I can't stop wondering: how could Michael Dell get it just so wrong?
Canonical Contributing Too Little to Kernel Development? : This week the Linux Foundation published statistics of the persons and companies behind the kernel development. Canonical is not mentioned at all.
Top 5: Linux Video Editing Software: A non-linear editing system (NLE) is a video editing (NLVE) or audio editing (NLAE) system which can provide editing method for video clips or frams. You will be able to access any frame in a video clip. Non-linear editing is done for film and television post-production. However, the cost of editing system gone down and non-linear editing tools (including software) are now within the reach of most home users.
Judge overturns 2007 Unix copyright decision: A federal appeals court Monday overturned a 2007 decision that Novell owns the Unix code, and the ruling now clears the way for SCO to pursue a $1 billion copyright infringement case against IBM. In a 54-page decision, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals said it was reversing the 2007 summary judgment decision by Judge Dale Kimball of the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, which found that Novell was the owner of Unix and UnixWare copyrights.
Why Windows security is awful: A friend of mine suggested that I should include as boilerplate in my security stories, a line like: "Of course, if you were running desktop Linux or using a Mac, you wouldn't have this problem." She's got a point. Windows is now, always has been, and always will be insecure. Here's why.
Mini-notebook sales jump 398%, desktops shunned: Report: Australian sales of mini-notebooks jumped a massive 398.4% in the second quarter of this year, compared with 12 months ago. It's clear evidence that consumers prefer mobile PCs, even when they come with a higher price tag than a desktop equivalent.
The Linux Home Office: What's In Your Cyberspace?: What does your home computer lab look like? Do you have a dedicated office, a corner of the living room, a lounge-in-bed setup? Maybe you're set up more like an old-fashioned terminal server, with a big workstation in a closet and several remote PCs. Maybe you have whittled your computing herd down to a single sleek laptop.
Secure VoIP, GNU SIP Witch, and replacing Skype with free software: For a number of years I have been when possible working on what is called the GNU Telephony Secure Calling initiative to make communication intercept a thing of the past, whether for individuals, private organizations, or national governments, and to do so entirely using free software.
How do You Really Measure Linux Bloat?: In the last article, Akkana Peck talked about the different types of Linux memory and how deceptive values like Virtual Size and Resident Set Size can be. Today she shows us how to get more useful numbers so we can figure out which programs really are memory hogs.
Windows Loses Money, Linux Nears $1 Billion Mark: In a time when Microsoft is feeling the full impact of the global economic downturn, the open-source Linux operating system is flourishing. While Windows client revenue has let the Redmond company suffering in the 2009 fiscal year, producing three quarters inferior when compared to FY2008, Linux revenue continues to grow and is right on track of making the open-source OS a $1 billion a year business. Market analysis firm IDC estimates that between 2008 and 2013 Linux revenue will deliver a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of no less than 16.9%.

It is interesting to make comparisons between Thornton Wilder's great play Our Town, set in a New England village in the early 1900s, and life in America in the 2000s.
The family in the play — father, mother, and two children — was typical throughout the U.S. in the 1900s. Today, for every married couple in the United States, there is a single adult. Between 1950 and 2000, singles increased from one-fourth to one-third of the population over 19, and single-person households increased from 10.9 percent to 22.6 percent.
In Our Town, the single characters were young and on their way to the altar. Today, singles range in age from early 20s to retirement. Some have never married, some are widowed or divorced, some are single by choice, and others single through no wish of their own.
They may live alone, with dependent children, with relatives, or with other people. Some are "just passing through" singlehood, while others are "not looking." Studies show that of single people over 19 in the United States in the past decade, 42 percent were men and 58 percent were women.
Amid such a drastically changed pattern of social life, the Church must retool her ministry if she is to be effective in meeting the spiritual needs of people. No longer can parish programs be geared only to families; they must also speak to the needs of the middle-aged single man, the career girl, the divorcee, the widowed, and those who choose alternative life styles. In many parishes, these groups may represent half or more of the membership.
When parishes focus their programs only on families they often create a feeling of alienation among the many other groups. One single woman in an Arizona parish expressed her frustration by saying, "It's like you are not always sure how to interact with people. When you're single and they're married, you feel like a fifth wheel."
This "fifth wheel" group has indeed become a significant part of most parishes. Unless clergy and leaders of parishes begin to plan programs to meet their needs — as well as the needs of traditional families — these non-traditional people will be lost to the Church.
Take the example of Jim Lingscheit, vice president of a ceramic technology firm in California, who observed, "I think a person who is single walks around sensitized to everyone being a couple." His image of the world has deep roots in our culture. As one character in Our Town says, "Most everyone climbs into their grave married."
When local parishes begin to recognize the necessity of ministering to the needs of a great variety of people, they not only are able to retain these people, but also they experience exciting growth in membership. The parish community can become important to singles. As one graduate student described his satisfaction with his congregation, "I feel I'm stabilized, like an atom being related to a larger molecule."
But a sense of belonging varies widely with people and parishes. Some blend in comfortably as did one widowed woman in a West Coast parish who commented on the warmth and support she received from fellow members after the death of her husband nine years ago: "I'm still with those people who were so loving and caring. I've felt like a single person." Others who are single for one reason or another, do not share such feelings and see themselves as definitely being "fifth wheels."
Some people in the various types of singles categories participate in the liturgical life of the parish, but avoid all social gatherings. One single 28-year-old serviceman explained, "There are other activities I can go to, but dinners are for couples. I feel out of place." Another man echoed this thought by stating, "The family things such as banquets are important for the parish, but they're not for me."
Not only do parishes need to provide special ministries for various types of single people, a positive aspect, they also need to avoid situations that can be interpreted as negative. I am reminded of the divorcee in Minneapolis who tells of listening in church one Sunday to a homily on loyalty.
The analogy used for disloyalty was that it is like divorce. She recalls how painful that analogy was for her, especially when her six-year-old leaned over and whispered, "Does that mean we are bad?"
Without support groups and sensitive clergy and laity, those who are single may be forced to go outside the parish for the caring and help they need. What can your parish do to establish and maintain a ministry to singles as well as to the family? The following suggestions have grown out of the experiences of parishes that are meeting this challenge:
1. Establish a committee or committees of interested people who are ready to respond immediately to crises. Their work may range anywhere from providing casseroles to visiting and having prayer.
2. How about a parish-wide sponsor program. Each member has a sponsor and, in turn, sponsors someone else. This involves keeping in touch with that person and offering help when it is needed. A good sponsor system is blind to age, gender or marital status, but focuses on person-to-person relationships.
3. Consider special groups designed specifically for single people. Some parishes have organizations that adhere to strict rules specifying that they are for singles only.
4. Arrange workshops for people with special needs. These may include seminars on themes such as recovering from divorce or dealing with the loss of a loved one.
5. Consider a newsletter which focuses on the various programs of the parish, including those designed for singles. It can become a valuable organ for communication and spurring interest.
6. When you have parish dinners and people tend to congregate as families, consider setting up tables with signs "for singles only." This helps bring together people who are united by at least one common situation. It may also decrease the alienation singles feel when trapped at a dinner table where all the others are discussing "my kids and your kids."
One woman in Oregon compared entering a church as a single woman to entering a restaurant alone. The ushers (waiters) look past you to see "how many are in your party." And when they realize you are alone, they get an uncomfortable look on their faces that lets you know right away that you are an exception from the norm.
While no one group can offer support for members as diversified as the young never-married single, the grandmother whose husband has just died, or the woman who has recently divorced with young children, parishes need to evaluate their programming. Is every member being served in the name of Christ?
We are fooling ourselves if we think society is still composed primarily of the traditional family. If we have any hope of rekindling the fire of the Gospel and the sacraments, we must address issues that exclude members of the Body of Christ from full participation in the activities of parish life. Whether we like it or not, if people can't find the caring community they need in the Church, they'll go elsewhere to find it.

Improving Vascular Access for the Treatment of ESRD Patients
Bridget Cunningham March 1, 2016
When diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a form of permanent kidney failure, patients must undergo dialysis to replace the blood cleaning function of kidneys. Dialysis requires vascular access, a process where blood is removed, purified, and returned to the patient's vasculature. Current methods for providing access, however, suffer from high failure rates. Combining CFD simulations with shape optimization techniques provides a way to better understand and predict such failure.Lire la Suite

If you've ever worked with the Terminal boundary condition in COMSOL Multiphysics, you know that this electrical boundary condition can apply a current or voltage, among other options. But did you know that you can also dynamically switch between excitation types during a transient simulation? This is useful if you are trying to model a current- or voltage-limited power supply, for example. Today, we will look at how to implement such a switching behavior.Lire la Suite
Guest Linus Fagerberg February 24, 2016
Today, guest blogger Linus Fagerberg of Lightness by Design, a COMSOL Certified Consultant, shares how multiphysics simulation provides accuracy in automotive muffler design. The acoustic design of mufflers in the automotive industry has traditionally been performed by an iterative process where different alternatives are compared by experimental methods until a satisfactory design is found. Numerical simulation can drastically reduce a project's time and expenses, while simultaneously increasing the performance of the muffler.Lire la Suite

As of version 5.4 of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, there are features for simulating corrosion in slender structures. This significantly speeds up the total time spent when working with structures such as oil platforms. By using the boundary element method (BEM) and specialized beam elements in the Current Distribution, Boundary Elements interface, there is no longer a need for a finite element mesh to resolve the whole 3D structure, saving time for large corrosion problems consisting of slender components.Lire la Suite

By design, façades are meant to be visually appealing. Aesthetics, however, aren't the only concern. It is also important to consider elements such as stability, efficiency, and comfort. Engineers at Newtecnic use COMSOL Multiphysics to strike this balance, creating façades that are both eye‐catching and functional.Lire la Suite

Before building a house, architects and engineers look to optimize the sound quality of their design. Simulation tools like COMSOL Multiphysics are a valuable resource for doing so, generating accurate results while saving on costs. With apps, this workflow is becoming even more efficient. Those with little knowledge of simulation now have the ability to run their own acoustics analyses and obtain results more quickly. Take a look at our One-Family House Acoustics Analyzer for both insight and inspiration.Lire la Suite

Despite the best season ever for Team MBUK/Santa Cruz last year, that old sporting adage "you're only as good as your last result," holds particularly true in mountain bike racing. So with the 2008 season right upon us it's time for the team to get back out there and continue where they left off - starting with a new name: Team BikeRadar.
With new goals, higher expectations and a winter's hard training behind them, Team BikeRadar is ready to take on the best and the riders plan on coming home with trophies and titles in their kit bags.
Through the website, Team BikeRadar will be keeping us up-to-date with exclusive news from the biggest downhill races from around the world. We've already put together a collection of helmet camera video clips, behind-the-scenes photographs, blog entries from the riders and information on their race calendar for the year ahead.
We've got detailed pictures of the riders' Team BikeRadar Santa Cruz V10 downhill bike, so you can see exactly what gear they'll be running in their races. There are also plenty of riding pictures which were taken to celebrate the launch of the team for 2008.
Keep up-to-date with the latest on the team via this page, and other sections of the site including the mountain bike news page and the BikeRadar blog page.
For more details on the team members as well as videos, pictures and their latest blogs, look below.

Home Sweet Home: Sonoma Bound
I grew up in the lovely town of Sonoma, north of San Francisco. Now it's a mecca of wine, cheese and other great culinary experiences and a San Francisco bedroom community, but back then it was a small, rural town with a single traffic light, no McDonalds and a single, one-screen movie theater and three or four feed stores. My family moved to Sonoma in 1975 just before the Judgment of Paris and the subsequent explosion of California wine. The wineries were there and were good, but even into the '80s, Sonoma wineries tended to be owned by small, family farmers instead of the well heeled wine legends of nearby Napa and the later crop of tech and show biz tycoons with their vanity vineyards and cult cabernets.
In the ten years after I left, Sonoma changed completely, losing some of its small town character but gaining some great food in the process. Now, of course, Sonoma is just as chic, hyped and expensive as its neighbor counties, Napa and Marin. It's wine is as well regarded as Napa's. The great, recently deceased Ig Vella, who made artisan cheese for decades out of his stone shop, helped birth a movement of artisan cheese makers in which the North Bay Area became one of the major loci. (I was gratified to see that the little bridge over the Sonoma Creek on Napa Street had been renamed the Ig Vella Bridge).
Early twenty-first century Sonoma is a funny composite. Still hanging on are some of the old school, down to earth places that were favorites when I grew up in the '70s and '80s (Mary's Pizza Shack is there, but not dear Moosetta's which taught country kids how to eat Russian peasant food). These hangers on are now outnumbered by the the upscale restaurants and gourmet shops that make Sonoma a culinary destination. But down the road in the Boyes Hot Springs neighborhood there are taquerias, ice cream parlors and other shops opened by the members of the growing immigrant Mexican population, most of whom hail from Michoacan and Jalisco.
It's been a while since I spent more than a weekend in the place that was my home from age 5 to 18, but on a recent vacation, I was able to spend a week there visiting old favorites, newer favorites and a few brand new spots as well as some of what San Francisco and the East Bay have to offer. I'll be sharing some of these reports over the next few weeks. As Dorothy says, there's no place like home.

A secure portal allowing our customers and vendors 24/7 access to their operational and financial information.
The revised service is due to come into effect in early 2015.
While the 2M vessel sharing agreement (VSA) will deliver outstanding operational benefits for MSC clients, the proposed schedule did not include direct services to Boston or Philadelphia. These updated routes will ensure MSC offers complete coverage of North American ports, seamless continuity of service and faster transit times.
MSC considers it strategically important to maintain services into Boston and Philadelphia; to do so while delivering improved transit times from North Europe is a double success.
MSC looks forward to years of growth servicing the Philadelphia market region, and we're grateful for the support of the State of Pennsylvania and its Governor, Tom Corbett. MSC and Governor Corbett's administration worked together on an innovative solution to increase volume in Pennsylvania's ports to the benefit of its economy. Commitment to growth, excellence and successful partnerships are values that we have in common.
The provisional rotation for the westbound services will be:
Customers are advised to contact their local MSC offices for further information.
Participants have the chance to meet all key stakeholders in the cold chain, to understand the benefits of all reefer technologies from all perspectives
Learn why the long distances involved in this trade require specialised logistics
The new arrangements will enhance MSC's products across these regions.
André Simha will discuss how the increasing use of digital technology is opening up new opportunities for both shippers and customers.

Vitaly, workers at EKCo patented a number of tessar type lenses in 1939 and 1940. Some of the patents included prescriptions for as many as four different designs that the inventors thought the patent covered. Four isn't many, you should look at some of L. Bertele's patents.
Visit Brian Wallen's site
for information about Ektars and their predecessors. Beware, the site doesn't have many signposts, you'll have to hunt around a good deal. Worth the effort, I think.

Yes, I am quite familiar with this information. But it is not definitive, and sometimes ambiguous.
For example, the "Kodak Anastigmat" nomenclature can mean different things at different times. And I am unable to find confirmation either way regarding Les' remark about the Recomar lens as a 107mm Ektar equivalent.
At this point in time, the incompleteness of published histories can benefit from additional data supplied by "archeologists" who have unearthed actual lens artifacts from their forgotten soils.
(BTW, the transition of Brian Wallen's new domain isn't working very too well right now, sorry to say.)

Wellllll, While I've seen 107mm mounted on Minis, and I'll bet some are from the factory, this the 105mm f4.5 KA (also a Tessar) that's listed in the Oct. 1938 price list.

Post subject: Ektar
The lens date coding started in 1940. No earlier lenses were marked. I also have a 1941 uncoated 127mm Ektar in a Rapax shutter of all things, and it was the first lens I bought after I bought my first Century from the original purchaser in 1994. It is extremely sharp. I also have the front element focusing 101mm f/4.5 Anastigmat Special in a Supermatic with a 1940 date code. Actually, I have two ( I own 55 lenses total). I have the 135mm Anastigmat from a Recomar and it does not look like a Schneider design just judging from the diameters of the glass. So who knows, EK might have made it. Or had Bausch and Lomb do it. It's in a compur. In the 50th Anniversary graflex catalog (printed in 1940) it does indeed show the Mini Speed with the 107mm Ektar in a Supermatic. In the price supplement in the back it shows also standard lenses being the 101mm Ektar in Supermatic with press focus, and the 127mm Anastigmat (!) in the plain Supermatic. Just below the Mini Speed, in the listing for the 3.25 by 4.25 Speed Graphics it shows both the 127mm f/4.7 Ektar as well as the 127mm F/4.5 Anastigmat. The Ektar has press focus, the Anastigmat does not. So there was apparently some overlap between the two.

Yes, this is very interesting product information. It tends to support a conjecture: during the 1940/41 transition period, lenses mounted in the Supermatics without synchronization and press focus features were marketed with the "Kodak Anastigmat" nomenclature. When the equivalent lenses were mounted in Flash Supermatics -- which do include the press focus -- they were named "Ektar".
This information is useful to current Graflex/Kodak enthusiast for many reasons. Not least of which is the fact that the Supermatic-mounted Kodak Anastigmat lenses -- when they do show up -- are often available at less than 1/3rd the price of the Ektar labeled equivalent!

Um, Vitaly, I don't understand why people go on about fine distinctions between tessar type lenses. f/6.3 tessar types were about as good as they ever became from the beginning; Rudolph got that design right, and that was that. f/4.5 tessar types were about as good as possible by around 1930.
From the point of view of users, it seems to me that although there are exceptions its hard to go wrong with an f/4.5 or slower post-1930 (or so) tessar. Faster (f/3.5, f/2.7) tessar types
be another matter.
The exception I have in mind is actually earlier. I have two 85/6.3 B&L-made Tessars extracted from Premo #12s. The older one was made no later than 1915, the newer one no earlier than 1916. There are mechanical differences between the two, the newer one's front cell won't go into the older one's shutter. And the newer one shoots much better.

Dan, are you suggesting there are actually people out there who don't find all this Tessar minutia and Ektar arcana the most fascinating, intriguing, and compelling subject on the planet?
Anyway, I for one remain very interested in Banjo's 107mm Ektar. I would love to see some results from this lens, and would even part with some serious lunch money to try one out for myself!

Vitaly, I'm not aware that tessars from any maker are the center of
photographer's little universe. I have some, use 'em because they're good enough and cost-effective and offend the bigots who insist that only the latest most best lenses are usable at all.
The only lenses more despised than tessars are triplets. Back when, Modern Photography's standard of awfulness was Schneider's Radionar.
Funny thing is, over on the LF forum people seem to be chasing Cooke Series IIs, and not Aviars and "knuckler" soft focus lenses. Common plain vanilla old Triplets, not the latest and greatest. Funnier thing is that those of us here who've shot 103/4.5 Graflars against 101 Ektars and Raptars/Optars have all found the triplet better. And all of these are better than the revered 105/3.7 Ektar, especially in the corners.
Where were you when I had a truly crappy Mini Speed Graphic with a 107/3.7?
Where were you when I needed you?
I bought the Mini because it had a 2x3 Pacemaker Graflok, not the proper Mini Graflok retrofit, swapped backs between it and my 2x3 Pacemaker Speed what had a spring (boo! hiss!) back and sold it. Had I known you were going to come along wanting to spend the price of a good lunch on a 107/3.7 I'd have kept it, Mini Speed and all, just for you.

Heading toward a Sustainable Energy future
Meeting the challenges of a sustainable energy system
The world's population is growing – the demand for energy is growing faster. This presents four core challenges for a sustainable energy system: security of supply, affordability, climate protection, and resource efficiency. It will take ingenuity to succeed.
Get digital with our Customer Value Co-Creation method
Want to know how we helped our customer B.Grimm to create more transparency on their fleet operations? We sat down with them, identified the challenge and directly created a working software together. Read more about this from our digital expert John Ayotte!
Improvements needed all along the energy conversion chain
In order to meet the sustainability challenges, measures must be taken along the entire energy conversion chain – from the utilization of fossil resources for power generation and transportation to improvements in consumption.
Demanding targets
Mastering the operation of a Sustainable Energy system
Working on the improvement of energy efficiency always has been a core driver for the industry. And it has made tremendous progress in providing innovative technologies that contribute to the better utilization of fossil and renewable resources as well as generated power. Still, this is not enough to meet future demanding targets.
The energy system of tomorrow will need to produce much lower greenhouse gas emissions than the one we have today. In order to do so, it will have to master a much higher share of renewable energy sources, fluctuating feed-in volumes, and increasingly decentralized production at ever smaller power plants. This will require many different market operators and technologies to join forces, forming a complex power supply system with new business models. So, besides improvements to each part and piece of the hardware along the energy conversion chain, in the future digitalization will be key to running a stable and sustainable energy system and its parts.
Take a minute to listen to the opinions of high-level experts:
A change hard to cope with
Amory Lovins – Chief Scientist, Rocky Mountains Institute
Anyone aspiring to comprehend current trends in global energy markets must reckon with the words and ideas of Amory B. Lovins. Over four decades, Lovins has established a reputation as perhaps the world's foremost authority on energy efficiency and clean energy solutions.
"The oil companies, just like the electric utility incumbents, have to figure out different ways to use their assets, capabilities and, most difficultly, cultures to compete in a very different market," Amory B. Lovins said in a recent interview at his showcase green home near Snowmass, Colorado. "This change in the market is coming at them at a speed they can scarcely imagine and much faster than their cultures will find it easy to cope with."
"Can you afford to take that risk?"
Richard Lancaster – CEO of CLP Holdings Limited, Hong Kong
A talk with Richard Lancaster, CEO of one of Asia's largest power utilities, about climate change and whether energy technology is ready to meet this challenge.
"Ideally, we would have no carbon emissions. But that involves a huge change. Meanwhile, we have the technologies to navigate through the transition. If you look at that transition, you can't go for a perfect solution all at once. It would take too long.
This is why we will need more gas, more nuclear, more renewables – and a more efficient use of energy. We need to do all of these things", Lancaster says.
The market becomes manifold
The energy system has never been easy to handle. But with the new possibilities arising with digitalization, it has (and will continue to) become even more demanding to manage a sustainable energy system. At the same time, there will be many more opportunities for more players to participate profitably in the market.
Prof. Jacob Østergaard, Head of the Center for Electric Power and Energy at the Technical University of Denmark DTU, talks about the major trends and the impact of IT developments for market players.
New possibilities by smart digital technologies
More market participants produce much more data than ever. In a large gas turbine alone, for example, hundreds of sensors measure temperature, pressure, flow paths, and gas compositions every second. And all of them – producers, prosumers and consumers – have to be connected in a smart way in order to enable a stable operation of the Future Energy System. Given that there's no other way than taking the opportunities of digitalization: State-of-the-art analysis methods are required to ensure this data is intelligently evaluated and utilized.
The energy landscape
With a growing and constantly changing range of power generation methods, as well as new developments in power distribution, storage and consumption, the energy landscape is becoming more and more complex. Numerous small producers of renewable energy, for example, supplement the familiar picture of large power plants. This, in turn, calls for "smart grids" to handle fluctuating feed-ins. Let us take you on a journey through the complete energy landscape and its many interdependencies.
Energy Use
The cleanest energy is the energy that isn't needed. There is a huge potential for energy conservation, especially in buildings, industry and transportation. Saving energy and using energy more efficiently are the two main factors involved in creating a sustainable energy supply for the future. This can be achieved by controlling energy consumption and integrating energy-saving products and solutions in buildings, industry and transportation.
Electric engines account for nearly two-thirds of the electric energy used in industry, for example for conveyor technology or pumps. With optimized solutions, the energy consumption of industrial drives can be lowered by up to 30 percent. Worldwide, about 40 percent of energy is consumed by buildings. Here too a lot can be achieved: through heat insulation and pumps, smart building technology, or efficient lighting.

Energy Storage
Today's energy mix leads to fast-changing imbalances between generation and load, impacting grid stability and power quality. Battery storage can act as an energy consumer as well as producer. This combination helps to improve grid stability and enable greater integration of renewable energy sources. Thus the grid can utilize more available energy.
Alternative you can feed surplus power into an electrolyzer, which uses electricity to decompose water into hydrogen, and oxygen and generates heat. The obtained hydrogen can be stored and used to fuel a gas turbine and in several industrial processes.Since the supply of power from wind is
irregular, power storage and converting
systems will be a necessity.
Wind, photovoltaik, small hydropower plants and biomass greatly contribute to meeting power demand and environmental awareness. Especially offshore wind power plants with an installed generating capacity in the triple-digit megawatt range are already in operation and deliver great amounts of electricity with a high degree of continuity. But a growing number of onshore wind farms are being sited in regions with moderate to low wind speeds. Therefore we offer a new generation of wind turbines, which extract the maximum energy yield from low to moderate wind velocities.
Also solar energy has a great potential and is an inexhaustible energy source. As a long-term, reliable source of energy, the sun provides a huge annual amount of energy. Thanks to the technological advance of recent years and the development of the photovoltaics market, PV systems are now ready for large-scale production of electricity. And if we would like to turn water into energy small hydropower plants have proven to be a sustainable source of energy as well.
with 3,000,000 photovoltaik systems."
Central Power Generation
If clouds block the sun or the wind dies, power fluctuations must be balanced out quickly. Gas-fired power plants that can be started up quickly are ideal for this. Combined with a steam turbine, the world´s most efficient combined heat and power plant (CHP) from Siemens can convert approx. 61,5 percent of the energy from natural gas into electricity. Thanks to its CHP concept the overall fuel efficiency increases to 85 percent.

When cities and buildings look for technologies to reduce their energy consumption, smart financing solutions are often needed to overcome the shortage of funds. When engineering and financing solutions come together, buildings can unlock huge energy saving potential – in consumption and in cost. A good example of this is Siemens' energy performance contracting for building technologies – a combination of consulting, modernization services and customized financing. With this, customers do not need to make any initial investment; they simply use the energy cost savings to pay the installments.
Worldwide, Siemens has modernized more than 5,200 buildings this way, with more than €1 billion in savings and more than ten millions tons of CO2 reductions.
Energy performance contracting:
a self-financing cycle
In the future, not only large plants but also millions of small and medium-sized power producers will feed electricity into the grid. More and more former consumers of energy are becoming producers as well. This fact, and the fluctuating feed-ins of renewable energy, make intelligent power grids necessary for power distribution. With "Smart Grids" like these, Siemens helps to achieve the right balance between electricity production and demand - throughout the world, and here in Germany.

Natural Gas
Natural gas accounts for around 25% of the global energy demand. The proven reserves climb new highs, based on deep sea exploration and unconventional resources. As the cleanest fossil energy resource natural gas will continue to increase its share of the global energy mix, growing at 1.8% per year until 2035. Gas trade is primarily carried out as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and by pipelines. Mission critical technology from Siemens makes the total process from production of gas via transportation to electrical power more safe and efficient.
Growing importance
of natural gas globally
Power Transmission
Should primarily be used where they occur in abundance: solar energy in sun-drenched areas and wind energy on the high seas. Therefore, long-distance networks must be further expanded, beyond national boundaries, using classic overhead lines, cables or gas-insulated lines. Besides classical high-voltage AC connections, high-efficiency power superhighways with high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) technology can be used for very long distances.
For example, in a HVDC Technology project in China, Siemens has shown that around 95 percent of the electricity makes it to the consumers, even over a distance of 1,400 kilometers and at a transmission capacity of 5,000 megawatts.
Power Distribution
The requirements on power distribution and therefore on medium- and low-voltage grids are increasing continuously. Changing directions of power flow, load and voltage fluctuations, which are caused especially by the strongly growing number of power supplies from volatile power sources, e.g. photovoltaic/biogas plants and wind farms, make the distribution grids of today go to their capacity limits. The solution is an active distribution grid with intelligent transformer substations as key components. These contribute to an active load management in the distribution grid and enable an automatic and fast fault clearance in case of disturbances.

Grid Control & Applications
Information technology is what we need to get the meter data and the consumption data into the system so that we can measure consumption and draw the necessary conclusions. Automation technology makes the meter data available for outage management and outage measurement in the grids. So this is where operations technology and information technology become one. The collected data is stored and analyzed, in the interests of stable and efficient power supply.
The enabling factor for all of Siemens' cross-sectoral solutions is a smart grid that allows an intelligent energy management.

Oil consumption is expected to grow and crude oil remains the dominant primary energy source for the next 20 years. Especially transport fuel is dominated by oil, its low relevance in electrical power generation will further decrease. Oil reserves are enough not at least thanks to exploration and production in deep sea regions and opening production from unconventional resources like oil sands. Furthermore, enhanced oil recovery technologies for mature fields enable to get more out of a field. Siemens innovative technology makes production, transportation and processing more efficient and environmentally compatible.
