Research topics
Research at AVT is centred on relevant problems arising from global change. Scientific challenges in the development of sustainable feedstock within the overall material value chain from resource to the tailored product are the focus of interest. The required processing fundamentals of material conversion are therefore developed in an integrated product- and process design, which involves an evolution of a systematic design strategy that links both, experimental and simulative methods. In the following, the distinct domains within this design strategy are described in more detail.

Brent's call for dog ordinance met with silence
Managing Editor
Minutes after one city alderman asked to revisit an ordinance concerning pit bulls, a resident complained about being confronted by one.
Ward 4 Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. said the city board needs to revise its ordinance concerning vicious animals, particularly pit bulls.
"We never did respond or discuss a petition in reference to pit bulls," Brent said, during the open board meeting Monday. "We have not acted on it. We might need to review it and make a decision."
A petition was presented to the city leaders several months ago about the presence of pit bulls within the community. Action was never taken on the matter.

Your Idea: A Weapon that creates Peace
Let's face it; War is a business.
How, then, do we create a product of war, that doesn't hurt, maim, or kill, but rather does the opposite and heals, prevents, and stops conflict that a corporate company can patent and therefore make money from, keeping not only innocent people from being harmed, but also feeds the corporate companies' bottom line of keeping investors happy?!?
The idea is simple in effect, and promotes peace whilst still increasing worth.
I just have little idea on what the war product could be, so I'm crowd-sourcing from you, fellow TEDsters, to help build the perfect weapon: A weapon of peace.
Should it be just one weapon of peace, or, just as there are many weapons of war, perhaps there should be multiple weapons of peace that can each be patented by the companies listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_modern_armament_manufacturers and allow such companies to make money from peace?
as always, I'm awaiting your thoughts.....
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 12 2012: If we are talking about war as business ( moral issues aside ) , i don't think it's so difficult to wake up to the fact that war is probably a bad investment. The problem is in the nature of business , it's a short term enterprise, despite all claims for the contrary. The war antidote ( i would like to avoid ' weapon' :) ) is awareness. You don't need to 'promote' awareness you need to seek it for yourself, that's the best you can do to stop wars.
" Who's not at peace? "The Other Guys" ? " :) -
Dec 12 2012: i would be interested to see a document on how much profit weapons manufacturers make before (pre-emptive?), during, and after a particular war.
i don't think it would be too difficult to determine the companies that funded a particular side for a particular war, then determine yearly profit margin differences between the before, during, and after for the war that these companies involved made products for.
then again, i suppose weapons manufacturers sell weapons to governments as a preventative measure, so weapons products may already be stocked. this makes it more difficult (but not impossible) to calculate how much financial gain weapons manufacturers make.-
Dec 12 2012: Too complicated :)
And it's only the surface. But i could be wrong here, maybe you should address to Krisztián Pintér here on TED , he knows this stuff.
I would suggest you to listen to this, hope you'll enjoy it
"The war is always the choice of the chosen who will not have to fight"
Can we make them fight ? I don't know how it is possible , but probably it would be the solution, sure not the best one.
Still i believe in change from within, the only way that doesn't multiply negative side effects ad infinitum.-
Dec 13 2012: i will see about getting in contact with Krisztián Pintér regarding documents on defence contractor spending patterns before, during, and after war-time.
i am currently on a very slow connection and am having trouble downloading the video, i'm about half-way through downloading it, and will watch it.
i love music.
in fact, i'll see your song with http://youtu.be/qQkBeOisNM0 and raise you http://youtu.be/NU9JoFKlaZ0 - both pop songs, but i digress, this is what the kids are listening to. a revolution seems to be upon the western society in this sense.
Dec 13 2012: Thank you !
I've watched your videos, I am not a kid either, but it has touched a raw nerve in me.
Now i understand where your concern has come from, and i do share it !
Drug idea is very interesting, actually, but why 'to drug' someone ( enemy? )? Maybe DMT should be served at pre war negotiations and the very idea of enemy will probably vanish without a trace.:)
Who knows what stuff native american folks smoked in their pipe of peace when negotiating conflicts ? It was "the way of love and freedom, here on the back of our Earth Mother." Simply put, the smoke coming from the mouth symbolizes the truth being spoken. That is the core of the problem, i guess. The chosen few don't want to tell the truth or maybe they even don't care to know it. lying is so fundamental to our goal oriented, consuming culture, to politics that it has ceased to be lying at all and has transformed into a variant of truth.
The problem is, all governments from right to left don't want 'boundary dissolving' substances to be used, maybe because eventually it will spell death to the status quo : the division into 'us' and 'them'. What will be governments for ? DMT , psychedelics have a bad reputation as addictive dangerous stuff, but alcohol being not less addictive and dangerous when abused is sold at every corner. It's a bit strange, don't you think ? That's why i told you, that it's only the surface. War is a profitable business , because it is made such. Don't take me wrong , i don't think that 'bad guys ' have taken control and are pushing us into the abyss of war; somehow i am immune to conspiracy theories. It simply goes this way, because our common conscious field is in poor state. -
Dec 13 2012: cont.
" All we need is love ! " it's not only poetically but factually true. It's too bad that nobody is listening ! I don't know how psychedelics or dmt work, have never tried anything like that, but if you are searching for a weapon for peace, it may be somewhere there ...or not, while change from within never fails :)
Thank you very much !

Dear Family,
Today, my husband, son, and I went out for a very nice lunch. Despite the differences in my husband's and son's belief systems, the conversation probably shouhd have stayed with religion and politics! Throughout lunch, my son kept getting text messages in response to a mass text that he sent to all of his AA buddies (the traditional, "how are you doing today" text) and so I asked him if his girlfriend was having any difficulty adjusting to his recent immersion into all the AA activities. He responded, "I told her that it doesn't matter what she thinks, because there is no choice right now." And then he proceeded to tell us that they are having an "argument" and she won't have sex with him. I didn't see that one coming, and I really had no response, and neither did my husband. He also shared that he has a hard time with her "neediness" and that he is glad to have his space from her.
I think back to all of the lies and deceit that surrounded him in active addiction, and I would pray that he would get honest with himself and others. And, now he is certainly honest. And I realized today that I don't always know how to deal with his honesty. For so long, the honesty in our lives was missing. I respect my son for his honesty, and i am glad to know that he can now trust me with what he says. I feel like I should follow up and say something once I have my thoughts in order, but maybe it's best to stay out of it.
I know this is trite in the grand scheme of all we go through with our loved ones in addiction. But is part of recovery learning how to deal with having that honest and trusting relationship again?

Patrick, since you found out the trick would you care to tell how long they should be left out to dry? In Herme's comments to the recipe there is something about letting the macroons rest in the fridge, but nothing about it is included in the recipe itself.
I waited 30 minutes after piping before I started baking. Since I usually have a few sheets worth of cookies which I bake one at a time, the first tray would rest for 30 minutes and the last tray about 50 minutes before baking. I could not tell any difference between those that rested for 30 and those that rested for 50. Next time I make them, I might set a few aside for longer lengths of time and see what effect that has. The comment about letting the macaroons rest in the fridge overnight -- I had assumed that that referred to the finished cookies rather than the piped batter, but maybe I was wrong.
The cookies look great. Flat and uniform and good toasty color on the hazelnuts.

Vivid Racing;s VR550 Stage 1 horsepower kit for the 997TT is designed for those that want a little more power over the stock 480 horsepower without creating alot of attention. The VR550 kit includes our Softronic OBDII ECU Flash and a pair of Boost Recirculation Valves. Softronic is the only tuning company that can flash your 997TT through the OBDII port and retain your warranty by providing your true original file and your tuned file. At any point, you can load your original file back to your car and there will be no footprint that the car has been flashed. In addition to the Softronic ECU Flash, we also include a pair of the Agency Power Boost Recirculation Valves. The BRV;s replace the diaphram system for a spring and piston design. This helps boost come on stronger and hold more consistant to redline. These install in place of the factory units. The combination of these 2 products will give you the VR550 kit which you can further build on. Because Softronic tunes using the factory knock and O2 sensors, you will not need to re-reflash your car when you add basic components like an exhaust, headers, or intake. The only time you need to do a reflash is when you add bigger turbos, different fueling systems, or engine internals. The ECU flash can be installed by yourself with the included cable. Install time is about 1 hour. The BRV;s we recommend installation by experienced mechanics and these take about 2 hours for installation. If you have any questions about this kit, please contact us.

There is much debate as to whether Science and Religion are compatible and in particular can Evolution and the Biblical creation account co-exist as valid worldviews or does one negate the other. As far as I am concerned the debate is only a bone of contention for religionists. Science is the study of the natural world. It does not look for supernatural outcomes to its investigations. Religion has for the last 400 years has been continually discounted as a reliable tool to discover anything new. It's explanations of the working of the natural world are being proven incorrect and Science is filling the gaps it used to dwell in.
When I am referring to the Theory of Evolution (TOE) I am talking about Modern Evolution Theory and not just "Darwinism". Creation as used will mean the Bible story and Creationism in general.
If I posted this 400 years ago it would read "The theory of Heliocentricity and the idea that the Earth is at the middle of our Universe – are they compatible?" The religious did their utmost to thwart the advancement of scientific discovery. They did not "believe" it was true that the sun was at the center. It was "only a theory" and the scientists behind it were deemed to be heretics. Only as people became educated did they understand it. Now this once special knowledge is deemed almost to be common sense. The churches now accept the Theory of Heliocentricity as being true. That is mighty of them but irrelevant to me because like the TOE it was never a matter of faith. It is only a matter of education. Knowledge is power. They controlled the flow of it for too long in schools and even Universities. Information takes away more power from religion so it will do whatever it takes to keep as much of it as it can. So religions come up with alternative "theories" to counter the modern day heretics.
Even today I still get told by apologists that the Bible knew the world was round. Many have become "Hebrew scholars" and love informing me about the meaning of the word "chug" to insist Isaiah know the world was round. He did not. He "knew" it to be flat as did everyone else at that time.
The same people will then try to argue with me that Intelligent Design is a credible scientific alternative to the TOE and should be taught in schools. They "don't believe in Evolution". So they read more biblical science and come up with the idea that their god created every animal including man in his present "form". I will not discuss I.D. any further but if anyone else thinks it a good idea and has any merit please fire ahead. Maybe the dinosaurs died because they fell over the edge of the planet. These theists are the same as they were 400 years ago. They still maintain their book is the one and only truth necessary and deny the validity of the TOE just as they denied the fact the sun is at the center of the galaxy.
I am not a scientist and do not claim any academic qualifications in this area. Due to my lack of believe in any god or the veracity of written accounts I turned elsewhere for answers. I find that the TOE is a fact because I understand it to be proven. It therefore reinforces my reasons for remaining an Atheist but in itself it did not make me an Atheist. I will reference my replies later to any questions I try to answer.
I consider it fair to say that most Theists deny the fact of Evolution because they do not know it. Those that think they do usually have only learnt it from the science section of the bible or from their local preacher. I have never met a Theist (I mean never) who could explain it to me correctly. I also consider it fair to claim that one does not need be an Atheist to see that the TOE is a Fact.
The Theory of Evolution is the scientific study of how life of earth has evolved over time. To start with we need to get some concept of the time scale. It started about 3.5 billion years ago. You need to stop a minute and think about that. It is almost impossible to conceive of such a scale. Millions of species have lived and died out before man appeared a relatively short time ago. We are about as a modern species for the last 200,000 years. 40,000,000 years before us Mt. Everest rose up and yet 25,000,000 years before that the dinosaurs became extinct. A few billion years further back and our early ancestors were getting ready to crawl out of the sea. Sound as fantastic as other stories? Well yes but all of this can be and has been fully proven. When all the various fields of Science, geology, chemistry, anatomy, fossil studies and especially DNA are taken together we see that all life on Earth is connected. No matter what species we look at once we go back far enough we see a common ancestor is shared amongst us all.
I am not going to further explain the Theory here other than say that the word "Theory" in this case means a body of facts and not an hypothesis that is still in need of evidence to make it acceptable. It is because Evolution is a proven fact that it is deemed to be a Theory.
I fully acknowledge that the TOE does not explain how life on Earth began but that is not what it is about. I also accept that the TOE does not disprove the existence of any particular deity.
However if anyone accepts that the TOE is a fact (which it is) then we humans are descended from other species and if we keep going back we are evolved from simple life forms that lived in the sea. Therefore we could not have been created in human form in one day. Therefore the Christian story of creation is not true. It is a myth like those of all other religions.
Feel free to tell me where you think I am wrong and show me how the bible is right or at least compatible with Evolution. We can discuss the TOE in greater detail and clear up any misconceptions held about it if this discussion EVOLVES.
I just found out - I'm 1.7% Neanderthal
(and that's not in the Bable)
I come from a long line of hunter gatherers. We even have a big cat somewhere in our back yard, by the deer remains we find. We short a cave....
In a word...NO...next question.
It's very attractive from a fiction writer's perspective (because you can pack all this magic and science and wonder into the same little background), but then I guess that only serves to prove the point.

Vehicle Input
Fresh on the pavement this year from Street Scene is an all new, highly stylized Generation 2 Mustang Body Kit. This kit builds upon the original Generation 1 kit, with durable polyurethane based materials for an exact fit. The kit was designed to fulfill specific enthusiasts demand for an aggressive race ready posture.
The Street Scene Generation 2 Fascia goes away from the original super clean lines of the Generation 1, by incorporating aggressive scallop intakes the lower bumper. The kits aggressive style only begins in the front of the car, as we move around to the rear it really takes on the racy feel of a lot of horsepower, ready to launch. The exhaust has been redirected and centered out the new Generation 2 rear valance (exhaust available separately). Together the front, sides and rear offer a perfect metamorphosed upgrade from both the original Ford factory body style and Street Scene's original Generation 1 Body Kit. |

The room was lined with baby after baby, and it was almost too warm for Keri Dykes to tolerate.
She remembers squeezing between the incubators to see her son Jesse, who had been born only 25 weeks into her pregnancy.
A neonatal intensive care unit in Tupelo, Mississippi, is where Jesse spent his brief life in 2008 -- a life cut short by an infection that got into his bloodstream and lungs.
The first time Dykes, 29, got to hold him and look at him face to face, she remembers that his pretty blue eyes were open as he was dying.
"It's just something you never, ever think will happen to you," she said.
Jesse happened to be born in the state where babies are less likely to reach their first birthday than in any other state, according to the most recent data (PDF) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For every 1,000 Mississippi babies born in 2011, 9.4 died before their first birthday, according to the state's health office. That makes Mississippi's infant mortality rate more comparable to countries such as Costa Rica (9.2), Sri Lanka (9.5) and Botswana (10.5) than the United States (6.0), according to latest estimates in the CIA World Factbook.
The bottom of the list
Mississippi is 50th out of 50 states when it comes to infant mortality, and it's been that way for a long time, says state health officer Mary Currier.
There's not one clear explanation. Experts cite a multitude of factors that are also seen in other parts of the country and around the world.
For example, Mississippi leads the nation in obesity, which can carry with it a host of complications that might affect a baby, such as hypertensive disorders, says Dr. Michelle Owens, an obstetrician-gynecologist at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Other Southern states with a high prevalence of obesity -- Alabama and Louisiana, for instance -- also have some of the nation's highest rates for infant mortality. A 2010 study also found that overweight and obese women are at higher risk for preterm birth.
In general, Owens said, many pregnant women don't realize the importance of getting their own medical problems treated.
"We know that the way we get the best pregnancy is to have a healthy mom before mom and baby are together," she said.
Birth defects are the leading cause of infant death in the United States. Not all are preventable, but a mother can reduce risk by keeping her own health under control by eliminating smoking, drinking and illegal drugs.
The same is true for premature births, another leading cause of infant deaths in the United States. The March of Dimes recently released its Premature Birth Report Card and gave failing grades to Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. Mississippi has the largest premature birth rate based on the 2011 national statistics used in the report.
Poverty, low socioeconomic background and low education contribute to high preterm birth rates, said Dr. Eve Lackritz, senior program officer for the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth, an initiative of Seattle Children's. Lackritz was once the branch chief for the CDC's maternal and infant health division.
Southern states tend to have some of the biggest poverty problems in the country. Mississippi led the country with the highest percentage of people whose income was below the poverty line in 2011, according to the American Community Survey (PDF).
"Infant mortality goes along with poverty, and we have a pretty low average income in the state," says Currier.
Mississippi also ranks in the top 10 states for the percent of the population that is uninsured (19%), according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, and in the proportion of residents receiving Medicaid (20%).
Teenage births are also more common in the South than in most other parts of the country, according to the latest CDC data. Mississippi had the highest teen birth rate in the country in 2010, at 55 births per 1,000 women compared with a national average of 34.2. Alabama (43.6) and Louisiana (47.7) are also on the higher side in this regard.
Babies born to teens are more likely to be born prematurely and have a low birth weight, according to the Mayo Clinic. Not receiving proper prenatal care contributes to the complications that can arise in teen pregnancies.
An international reach
The interplay between teenage births, poverty and infant mortality isn't unique to the United States.
Catalina Escobar, one of the top 10 CNN Heroes of 2012, knows all too well how much young mothers need medical support and education to give birth to healthy children. In Escobar's country, Colombia, the infant mortality rate is 15.92, much higher than any state in the U.S.
Colombia's colorful city of Cartagena is an attractive tourist destination, with its historical grandeur and beach resorts. Acclaimed author Gabriel Garcia Marquez set one of his famous novels, "Love in the Time of Cholera," there. But Cartagena has a darker side that visitors may not realize: One-third of residents live at or below the poverty line.

Dishonored has 40,000 words of text, 90,000 of dialogue
Did you read all the books in Dishonored? I admit I may have skimmed a few, but in my defence, a report on PC Gamer suggests there are 40,000 words of text in Dishonored, which is a reasonable novel's length. I did listen to a lot of dialogue though, and probably so did you, as it has almost 90,000 words of voice work. Arkane drew inspiration from a diverse range of sources for the immersive sim's colourful writing, including authors such as Herman Melville, Mervyn Peake, Thomas Burke, Charles Dickens, H. P. Lovecraft, Michael Moorcock and Neil Gaiman; movies like Gangs of New York, Perfume and Anonymous; and music such as The Decemberists, Picaresque and Her Majesty. Also, you can set people on fire; still one of my favourite games.

Anne Elizabeth Moore considers the straight male perspective behind "Blue Is the Warmest Color."
This might seem strange, but Avi Nesher's "The Matchmaker" reminds me of "Me and Orson Welles" (2009). Both films are about two matchmakers on the prowl for a great new talent. One is about an Israeli matchmaker. The other is about Orson Welles, who wants to find the perfect actor to play young William Randolph Hearst. Let's leave Hearst out of this for the moment.
In Haifa in 1968, matchmaker Yankele Bride (Israeli stand-up comic Adir Miller) makes the strategic error of hiring 16-year-old Arik Burstein (Tuval Shafir). Yankele is full of street wisdom. "You don't know what you want. Yankele knows what you want," he tells his clients.
At night in those years, Yankele ran a shady gambling den with a flashy blond named Clara (Maya Dagan). The two tool around in a big American car. Yankele knows what he wants, and her name is Clara.
Arik's job is to act as a low-rent private eye and shadow the hopeful grooms who are Yankele's clients. All goes well until he gets carried away and shadows Yankele himself — who, it turns out, is living out of sight of the tax authorities, doesn't have an Israeli passport, and is, in Arik's naive eyes, an Israeli criminal. He doesn't understand these are some of the very qualities that make him attractive to a dame like Clara.
The cops bust Yankele, both Yankele and Clara skip town, Arik has destroyed two lives and even his patriotic father scornfully explains that "everyone knows what Yankele does," and how an incident during the Holocaust explains why he does it.
Meanwhile that summer, the hip, cool Tamara (Neta Porat), the cousin of Arik's best friend, is in town from New York. Though Arik is displeased by her behavior, he's smitten.
Years later, in 2006 in Haifa, Arik (Eyal Shechter), now in his 50s, has returned to Israel for Yankele's funeral. Turns out the matchmaker left Arik all of his money. At the funeral, Arik meets the original Clara, who is surprised that Clara wasn't mentioned in the will. Not to worry, she explains to Arik.
The story of the original relationship is told in rich comic flashbacks about this old chapter from history. One flashback concerns a family of six dwarves, who run the neighborhood movie theater, located in the very same raffish district where Clara and Yankele run their gambling operation, and where a very choice sort of ladies walk the streets.
This is a sweet, bittersweet comedy, well-executed if perhaps a little heavy on anecdotage. You know who might have made it in the old days? I kept thinking of Woody Allen. You don't know what you want. Woody knows what you want.

DMA Releases Quarterly Business Review (QBR) for Q3 2012
November 20, 2012 The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) today released its Quarterly Business Review (QBR) for the third quarter of 2012. DMA partnered with management consulting firm Winterberry Group on the report.
Despite ongoing uncertainty about the fate of the economy and its potential impact on broader business opportunities, a vast majority of respondents to the third quarter 2012 Quarterly Business Review survey said they are confident about the practice of direct and digital marketing (DDM) and its prospects for future growth.
Increasingly, marketers are expressing confidence in the prospects of direct and digital marketing, with a majority of respondents expecting their revenue to increase during the fourth quarter, said Linda A. Woolley, DMAs acting president and CEO. Notably this quarter, more marketers are reporting that the availability of data and the general demand for DDM media are having a positive impact on their organizations DDM activity.
A full three-quarters of surveyed US marketers and marketing service providers said they were bullish about the growth prospects for DDM with a plurality (47.1 percent) saying they strongly agree that the practice of direct and digital driven marketing is well positioned to grow in the future. This represents a slight increase from last quarter, when 72 percent of respondents voiced similar confidence.
On an index basis, respondents echoed a similarly modest improvement in confidence from the second quarter. The DMA/Winterberry Group panel of marketers and service providers reported a composite confidence index of 3.91 in the third quarter (on a 1-to-5 scale), up from 3.85 in the preceding period.
In describing the opportunities they see emerging to define the practice of DDM, respondents were near-universal in their commentary on the importance of data and technology-driven insights in enabling more impactful customer interactions. Some said, for example:
Other key third-quarter findings include:
· For the second straight quarter, the only DDM channels that saw increased investment were those in the digital space further reinforcing the secular shift in economic influence toward both emerging and established online media
· The percent of DDM budgets allocated to customer acquisition efforts in Q3 was 58.8 percent, very near to the 60 percent benchmark that generally indicates periods of robust economic expansion (and in line with budgetary allocations that have been reported each quarter since Q3 of 2011); and
· Changes to DDM-related staffing levels have been less volatile holding steady at a very modest growth rate, which survey respondents predict is likely to continue through Q4.
About DMAs Quarterly Business Review
DMAs Quarterly Business Review (QBR) for the third quarter of 2012 is published by the Direct Marketing Association, with research and analysis provided by Winterberry Group.

Altogether, DMA received 322 usable survey replies, which included 156 marketer respondents and 166 providers of marketing services and technology solutions.

Modern and Contemporary Art Spring Landscape c. 1915 William Langson Lathrop, American, 1859 - 1938 Oil on canvas Currently not on view 1944-13-3 The Alex Simpson, Jr., Collection, 1944 |
LabelWilliam Lathrop was considered one of the first Pennsylvania Impressionists, although his intimate, poetic compositions were less influential among younger artists than the monumental paintings of Daniel Garber or Edward Redfield. Lathrop's preference for working in the studio, rather than out-of-doors, distinguished him from other artists in the group. He was also associated with a wider circle of American Impressionists, including J. Alden Weir and John Henry Twachtman, both of whom worked in Connecticut and New York. |
