Support Haiyan/Yolanda Reconstruction: Contribute Public Use UaV (Drone) Imagery
An unprecedented number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) -- drones -- have been used to collect imagery after typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. But little coordination between projects appears to have occurred. Many types of response and recovery organizations can benefit from these "bird's eye" views of the typhoon affected areas.
This type of imagery allows analysis such as:
- Tracking of debris removal
- Creation of detailed base map information for a wide variety of tracking applications
- Help in assessments to support timely, safe, and accountable reconstruction
There are also probably uses we haven't even thought about yet. Providing communities such as OpenStreetMap access has the potential to stimulate significant use and innovation around drone imagery. For example, a significant aspect of building back better (3B) in Tacloban is not to keep a 40m coastal buffer zone free. How is reconstruction progressing over time.
Advantages of UaV Data
UaV imagery data can provide 5-10 cm pixel and elevation imagery of disaster affected areas. An example of this for Tacloban just days after the disaster. This is higher than the best currently available high resolution Satellite Data (about 0.5 m), and provides for rapid, cloud-free and responsive high resolution imagery. But this data is of little use if it remains fragmented across sources, and is not readily and available for further analysis and deployment.
How to Help?
Do you have imagery flown for Haiyan? Or do you know of imagery and providers that would be valuable to the community? Are you willing and able to donate a copy of it to the response? Maybe you have wanted to share it but were not sure what to do other than hand it to people that requested it.
Let us help, upload the data and we will distribute it so others can make use (email email@example.com for more information). To get things started Corephil DSI has shared about 22 gigabytes of data from downtown Tacloban. We hope this will be the seeding of an "OpenReconstruction/Open Drone" platform.
Keyword is Open
For the imagery to be most effective it should be open. Our initial release from Corephil DSI is licensed Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY). This license allows the information to be used by anyone for anything, but they must give credit to the producer of the imagery.

UAV data may come from various sources and follow various standards. The public sector or NGOs may be providing data at the outset with an open use intent. The private sector or insurance companies may have initially commissioned and used this for commercial purposes, but could now be looking for a broader dissemination use.
Join Us?
Have you already flown imagery and would like to share? Great! Get in touch. Are you planning on flying imagery and want to share? Wonderful! Let's discuss so that we can make sure it is shared as quickly as possible. To contact us about sharing imagery please email: email@example.com.
Next Steps
As more imagery is revealed, the initiative will seek to ensure sufficient server space for the materials, document standards, and streamline contribution processes.

Mike Parr, Director of independent energy consultancy PWR, has developed a unique near-shore floating offshore wind farm project in the Firth of Clyde off the western coast of Scotland. Thanks to its design as a vessel at mooring, writes Parr, the farm does not require any planning permits and thanks to its low cost, it does not need subsidies. The first of these floating wind turbines will be installed this month north of Turnberry golf course. … [Read more...]
To keep European offshore wind world-leading, we need an industrial policy
To retain the global lead European companies have in offshore wind, the EU should develop an industrial policy that will guarantee a steady pipeline of projects, writes independent energy expert Mike Parr. This would ensure continued investment by companies in cost reduction and technology improvements. Failure to do so could mean the offshore wind sector would suffer the same fate as the European solar PV industry. … [Read more...]
The secret behind the sensational Dutch offshore wind record
Dong Energy has set a record low price for an offshore wind farm in the Netherlands. According to energy expert Mike Parr, the Dutch achieved this result thanks to their tendering model – following the Danes – offering a shovel-ready project to operators. UK wind farms are much more expensive because the UK lets operators carry out preparatory work by themselves. In any case, the future for offshore wind now looks bright. … [Read more...]
Delusions or lies? The UK government's five spurious reasons to back Hinkley Point C
The UK's Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) on 12 March published a short list of reasons why the proposed 3.2 GWs of nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point should be built. The publication, 5 Reasons why we are backing Hinkley Point C, is a mix of truth, unprovable assertions and omissions which could also be construed as lies, writes independent energy consultant Mike Parr. … [Read more...]
How realistic is the UK government's promise to phase out coal?

Power-to-gas: how carmakers can go green (without cheating)
European carmakers are required to reduce their CO2-emissions, but the Volkswagen affair has shown they find it increasingly difficult to do so.

This would kill two birds with one stone, argues Parr: it would help decarbonise the transport sector and could enormously help the integration of variable renewables … [Read more...]
Danish offshore wind: it's getting better all the time
Denmark continues to set the pace in driving down the cost of offshore wind. In its latest tender for 350 MW of near-shore wind farms the maximum price has again been reduced. Danish offshore wind now costs roughly half of what the new nuclear plant at Hinkley in the UK will cost. … [Read more...]

Wissenschaftler haben in einer Risikostudie festgestellt, dass Ganja die harmloseste Droge von allen ist und Alkohol die tödlichste:
Compared to other recreational drugs -- including alcohol -- marijuana may be even safer than previously thought. And researchers may be systematically underestimating risks associated with alcohol use. […] Researchers sought to quantify the risk of death associated with the use of a variety of commonly-used substances. They found that at the level of individual use, alcohol was the deadliest substance, followed by heroin and cocaine.
Marijuana may be even safer than previously thought, researchers say (via Hacker News)

flintlock pistol
does anyone know where i can find a new flintlock single shot pistol? i am leaning more to the flintlock type. nothing fancy and not a short barrel derringer type. maybe a replica horse pistol. it would be more for range fun and because i have never handled or fired a BP pistol. and are these treated the same as a modern cartridge pistol. here in NJ i would need a purchasing permit issued by the local law for a cartridge type? but would it be different for a muzzleloading type?

They are priced at what the market will bear, and they are selling at those prices. Otherwise they wouldn't be available. Therefore they are not way overpriced. $300 is not unreasonable for a good quality flintlock pistol.
How long has it been since you last looked at them?

Most kits now only require wood to be stained and metal to be blued and all of it bolted together. Not like the old days when wood was oversized and inletting was 95%.

thank you....
for your help and replys. now its a toss up between
the dixie gun works. pedersoli kentucky in .50cal.
pedersoli kentucky in .45 cal.
the price between the two isn't much of a difference. i do have 2 .50 cal rifles. can conicals be used in a single shot pistol or should i only use patched ball? i have both for my rifles. getting a .45 cal. pistol will only mean another size ball and or bullet as well as cleaning jags and brushes.

I'm thinking pistols are going to be a slow twist for round balls.

hawg haggen,
does the 1 in 18" twist from a 10 and 3/4" barrel mean its to slow to use round ball or conical? is the round ball better to use than the conical in a pistol?
do you have any idea as to accuracy/ shot group size at 25 yards?
thank you

1:18 is a fast twist that would work best with conicals. A round ball twist would be something like 1:72 or 1:66 tho 1:48 works well with prb and conicals, sort of a happy medium. I've not delved into single shot pistols much but that seems more like a cartridge gun twist than a muzzleloader twist. Maybe somebody with more experience with them than I have will chime in on it.

All production pistols have 1:24 or faster twist rates and this severly limits the amount of powder you can put behind a PRB and still maintain consistent accuracy. Fast twist barrels are fine with light loads for punching paper with PRB's or very light weight conicals - If you try using heavy conicals with heavy charges, you won't have enough barrel length for the burn time and the recoil will become absolutely punishing very quickly.

March 07, 2017
Last week I visited Sydney for the first time. After meeting with our many Australian partners, I was inspired by the market opportunity for premium publishers and impressed with the quality of talent within media companies I had the pleasure to visit, which is impressive given I thought I would be distracted by the locals.
Australia is a mature, developed and progressive digital advertising market. The smaller relative market size has forced faster innovation amongst premium publishers; the rest of the globe can learn from the urgency I observed across most Australian. Display advertising has started its decline for many of these publishers and has transformed into the new print.
I listened to several anecdotes about brands asking for more than banners and boxes from publishers, as they also have woken up to the many challenges present in traditional digital ads. In that sense, the Australian market is no different than what I observed last month at the IAB Leadership Conference – the value of premium branded content is at an all time high.
Premium branded content will be a $100M market in Australia in 2017 for premium publishers in the digital space. Polar partners with many of the largest publishers in the market. The global premium branded content market is growing at 35% year over year, and from our research and talks with our partners we believe the market is growing faster in Australia at over 40% – due in part to a smaller starting point. This will be a $400 million market in Australia by 2021.
3 years ago, the term "native advertising" had a lot more meaning. What started out as a way to describe a specific content experience (contextual promotions for branded content) is now commoditized as an advertising format.
An integrated, thoughtful, clearly disclosed content experience is far more valuable than an advertisement masquerading as content with a headline and thumbnail layout, and leading a reader to content of dubious quality. Referring to branded content as native is a dis-service to the value it provides.
Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Outbrain and others commoditize the term in the market, pitching advertisers and agencies their "native" solutions which are more often than not seen as lower-funnel, performance-based marketing tactics. Premium publishers offering content solutions meet a completely different marketing objective: upper-funnel, brand-building strategies executed through content. For this reason, I am adamant premium Australian publishers stop referring to their branded content solutions as "native".
Success in branded content is not about creating the biggest content studio right out of the gate. There are several shades branded content, from simple sponsorships of existing editorial, to complicated hosted executions of a brands own content on a publisher's site. Capturing Australia's piece of the global digital content marketing revenue depends on publishers offering brands the full spectrum of premium branded content.
Diversifying and building options through innovation and the expertise publishers have in premium content is the key to success in the next 5 years. From what I've seen in Sydney these past few weeks, this is more than possible for Australian media companies if they position themselves correctly.
Polar's Snapshot of Global Branded Content Performance presents the complete picture for major markets and publishers this past quarter.DOWNLOAD FREE COPY

Waterproof Cycling Clothing: Top 4 Essential Rain Gear Pieces
Finding the Best Cycling Rain Gear: What Works, and What Doesn't?
I live in Vancouver. While it is a beautiful city with picturesque mountain views and the mildest climate in Canada, it has one significant downside: rain.
You might think that would deter the many cyclists who prefer to commute by bicycle. Not so!
The truth is, a well-equipped rider can ride in moderate comfort, even in wet weather. A few good pieces of cycling rain gear will keep you dry and warm on that gusty ride to the office.
That being said, the word 'waterproof' is thrown around a bit too liberally in the apparel world. So, finding something that actually works is imperative, or you'll be right back behind the wheel.
But what do you actually need? In this article, I've compiled a list of fantastic rain gear for cycling. I will list 4 essential pieces to keep your ride dry.
My purpose is twofold: I want to help you get properly equipped so you'll arrive happy and dry, and I also want to recommend a few brands that really work.
Interested? I hope so!
Covering Your Bases: Waterproof Cycling Clothing
It may seem obvious to cover yourself from head to toe, but there are some factors that you might not consider.
Often, when faced with the intimidating wall of accessories at your local bike shop, you can be tempted to skimp, skipping certain items because they don't seem necessary.
Riding a bicycle in the rain all depends on the individual rider's comfort level. If you're happy to get a little soaked, no problem! If not, gear up.
Forward Momentum: Even a light sprinkle can get you more soaked than you'd expect. Why? You will be travelling at high speed, and that means you'll collect a lot more moisture along the way.
In order to stay dry in all types of rain, you probably want to make sure that your most exposed portions are well protected. The better quality cycling rain gear companies take that into consideration, and the front half will often be more reinforced.
The Jacket: The Essential Piece of Cycling Rain Gear
The waterproof cycling jacket is a no-brainer. Keeping your trunk dry and warm is mandatory for a comfortable ride.
It's tricky, however. You have a delicate balance between staying dry and being too warm. Sourcing bicycle rain jackets and pants that breathe well can be an exercise in frustration.
Cycling rain jackets are cut a little differently than convention. The front is cut back, and the rear is extra long. This gives you ample protection while in a lean, without interfering with your pedalling.
They stop moisture in one of two ways: by using a membrane, or by utilizing a protective outer coating. What kind of jacket you buy depends entirely upon the rain you're expecting to see.
Heavy Rain: In seriously wet conditions, a water resistant windbreaker isn't going to be enough. I recommend you get something purpose built to withstand adverse conditions.
Full on waterproof cycling jackets tend to be a little bit heavier, and a little less breathable. That doesn't mean they have to be oppressive, though!
A great example is the Gore Bike Wear Power GT AS. It reviews well and has a lot going for it, including renowned Gore-Tex material. All the seams are taped, and despite the water repellant qualities, this jacket breathes surprisingly well. It fits slim, and looks nice with reflective components. It will get a bit hot in milder rain, so it's a better option for heavier weather.
Light Rain / Mixed Weather: I strongly recommend that you opt for a shell in lighter weather conditions. Why? A shell is the most versatile option.
First, most shells will scrunch up and pack very easily. Secondly, a shell allows you to layer appropriately, so you can stay comfortable. They're more breathable, and most will work well as a windbreak also.
An example of a fantastic shell is the Showers Pass Double Century ES. It's a really nice looking jacket with a long back for extra protection. It utilizes Cocona Xcelerator fabric, which reflects moisture while breathing surprisingly well. It's a form fit, and with taped seams and lots of reflective detailing, it's a strong choice.
Jacket Brands Worth Checking Out:
So other than the above recommendations, what are some good waterproof cycling rain gear brands to look into? There are plenty of good options in the jacket realm, and you don't have to spend as much as you'd think.
As mentioned before, I think that Gore Bike Wear produces some of the best and most practical cycling rain gear on the market today. All their stuff reviews extremely well for rain and weather protection.
Showers Pass is another brand I really like. They tend to have extremely breathable wet weather cycling clothing, and their price range is a bit more affordable than Gore.
Giordana has a few fantastic rain resistant race options, and they're worth a look as well. If you're on a budget, Pearl Izumi has a good line of cheap cycling rain gear, and it does an admirable job when compared with the pricier brands. They can be found all over the place, though mostly online.
Bicycle Rain Pants: Don't Wet Yourself
Let's be honest: rain pants will never look cool.
But they're an essential addition to your collection of waterproof cycling clothing, because nothing is worse than arriving somewhere in wet pants.
I don't consider rain pants to be something you wear all the time. They're something to be stowed in your pack, ready if you need them.
They're usually fitted with an elastic waist, and legs large enough to step through while wearing shoes. That way, you can pull over and slip them on in a pinch.
Waterproof bicycle pants aren't really in the same realm as fitted cycle trousers, in that they aren't intended to look all that great. They're pure practicality.
Showers Pass has produced a good, water resistant shell pant intended to keep you dry during a sudden cloudburst. The seams are taped, and the ripstop poly material will keep your legs warm in wind as well. The elastic waist and generous leg room lets you slip them on quickly. They come with a stash pack, so you can pack them effectively.
Other Brands to Check Out:
If those don't do it for you, I have a few other recommendations.
Norrøna produces a good set of cycling pants for mountain riders, called the Flex1. It also happens to be a great choice for rain riders, since they're so mud and water resistant.
Again, Gore Bike Wear has some awesome selections, truly waterproof. They're on the pricier side, however.
You don't strictly HAVE to wear pants. I see a lot of people ride to work wearing a good, water resistant cycling jacket and race shorts. The nice thing about spandex is it dries very quickly. Just be sure to have a towel and a spare set of dry clothes waiting so you can change. That segues nicely into our next topic…
The Overshoe: Wet Shoes Begone
Wet weather cycling clothing tends to overlook one significant portion of your body: your feet.
Water will naturally run down your leg in a downpour. And where does it pool?
To keep your shoes from squishing, there are limited options. The first is simple to ensure that your shoe's outer is water resistant. Additionally, you could just find a long rain pant that can cover your shoe, though that's often awkward and unsuccessful.
The best option in a torrent is the overshoe. These wonderful things work much like you'd imagine, fitting over your shoe and providing a water resistant barrier.
At first glance, they might seem awkward, but once you've used an overshoe in wet weather riding, you'll be surprised that you lived without it!
Gore produces an awesome, all-weather cycling overshoe that provides excellent water resistance and added warmth in the colder winter months. It's great for avoiding mud too.
The Gore-Tex outer shell is adjustable and easy to put on. It is compatible with all major clipless systems, and (probably most importantly), the overshoes themselves fold up nicely to stow in your pack. They're one of the best cycling rain gear additions, and they'll help preserve your shoes.
Other Overshoe Brand to Look At:
Pearl Izumi has an amazingly affordable overshoe, part of its Elite Barrier system. But for the most part, Gore has the corner in this market, they're the prime brand to look at.
The Bag: A Bicycle Rain Gear Essential
When it starts to rain and I'm unprepared, my biggest concern is my bag. Much like the contents of a pickup truck bed, many bags aren't built with rain in mind.
Fortunately, we live in a golden age of waterproof cycling bags and accessories. You no longer have to stow your computer and phone in plastic baggies.
The best bicycle rain gear option (in my opinion) is a pannier bag. The lower centre of gravity and carrying capacity make them very worthwhile. But the bag itself should be watertight.
Backpacks can also be a good choice, though they tend to get wetter on your back. Be sure that they're truly water resistant, or you'll be in trouble. I also find that riding in a storm with a backpack on just feels 'icky'.
For material, you have several options. Nylon can be quite water resistant, depending on its thickness. Waxed canvas or cotton is a very good choice as well, and generally holds up for years.
One of my favourite backpacks is by Giro, a commuter pack that features subtle good looks, welded construction, a waterproof material (including the zippers), and an attractive and user friendly rolltop.
If panniers are more your style, I'd recommend checking out the Axiom Typhoon set, which (as the name indicates) was built with rain in mind. It features a welded poly construction, as well as integrated hooks to fit just about any type of rear bike rack, with quick and convenient removal. It's a really smart system that has a 'dry bag' that rolls down over top of each side, for extra protection.
Other Bags Worth a Look:
If you're hunting for a more classic, vintage look, Brooks has a series of fantastic roll-up panniers made out of waxed canvas. They're probably not quite as water resistant as the Giro or the Axiom mentioned above, but they're made from natural materials and look much better on a stylish bicycle.
Timbuk2 has some excellent, waterproof cycling gear and bags that are made from synthetics, and they can be found in many bike shops.
So What is the Best Cycling Gear for Rain?
The recommendations above are all items that work for me. When it comes to finding the 'best' solution, you'll find a lot of mixed opinions.
Ultimately, be diligent and read some reviews before diving into anything. Be aware of sizing (whether it fits small or large), and keep in mind the kind of cycling you intend to do, as well as how you like your clothing to fit.
My biggest piece of advice is that you should always layer. Use shells, dress warmly, but be prepared for the sun to burst through those clouds! Thanks for reading!

This is the first monthly report by Fresh Relevance, to provide statistics on the effectiveness of real-time marketing. This report covers cart and browse recovery over a 30-day period in June-July 2013. (Next report for August 2013)
|July Figures
|Number of customers whose anonymised data was used
|1.2 million
|From a representative sample of Fresh Relevance clients, mainly in the USA and UK.
|Proportion of Carts Abandoned
|61.48% by number
64.48% by value
|Click Through Rate on recovery emails
|By campaign. Cart recovery emails.
|Purchase Rate after click-through
|Cart recovery emails.
|Average Order Value of recovered purchase as opposed to regular purchases
|15.0% Higher for a recovered purchase
|Cart recovery emails.
|Proportion of revenue from browse recovery
|Browse recovery revenue / cart+browse recovery revenue (for clients doing both)
|Average return from a single cart recovery email
|Cart recovery emails.
|Average return from a single browse recovery email
|Browse recovery emails.
|Sales uplift
|15.61% (11.91% from cart and 3.70% from browse recovery)
|Extra sales attributed to Fresh Relevance, compared to normal sales.
Key observations:
- The average sales uplift of 15.61% is very pleasing and - because Fresh Relevance's fees are deliberately low - the average profitability of our clients has increased by significantly more than this.
- There is a huge variation in sales uplift across our clients. Everyone is making money, but not equally so. In part it is because some clients have added browse abandonment and done work to help us identify more customers, thus boosting recovery (advice), but there are other big effects such as market sector.
- I think this is the first time anyone has published a hard figure for the effectiveness of browse abandonment recovery. Fresh Relevance may get significantly better results than the competition for this, because we collect more behavioural data.
- NB: As with all such data, there is room for error in these figures. The recorded results could be too high, because some customers were going to buy anyway even if we didn't send recovery emails, or too low because some were reminded by the emails but bought in a way that we couldn't measure. We do our best, but nothing is 100% accurate, m'kay?

Residents of Austin, Texas, so value individualism that most (but not all!) of them rally around the phrase, "keep Austin weird." In the midst of that off-kilter vibe are two mildly weird kindergarten teachers, Eleanor Cooprider and Kim Park. One of them possesses a superpower and the other recognizes superpowers in others (and she can talk to plants, though they never answer). Once they share this super-secret, their mutual attraction blossoms into love, and there is nothing weird about that.

I don't mind reading lesbian books writing by men much but who's great idea was it to have a man read it. I'm a lesbian I get pleasure from women, their looks, their bodies, their voices. I don't want to listen to a man read about lesbian life and love. This narrator also has a problem with speaking clearly so he can be understood.

Production to begin at Tullow oil field
TULLOW Oil is set to start producing oil at a site off the coast of Ghana in west Africa, the company said yesterday. The first oil will flow from the Jubilee Field on December 15.
Tullow owns a 34.7pc stake in the field, which was discovered in 2007. Immediately after first oil, the field will be capable of flowing up to 55,000 barrels of oil a day, but production should increase to 120,000 barrels a day over the next six months.
Examiner appointed to Four Star Pizza
THE High Court yesterday confirmed the appointment of an examiner to the Four Star Pizza takeaway chain after it heard an independent accountant had found it has a reasonable prospect of survival if certain steps are taken. Neil Hughes, of Hughes Blake, was confirmed as examiner by Mr Justice Brian McGovern. Four Star Pizza Ltd, and its holding parent company Zowington Ltd, sought the court's protection because it was insolvent and unable to pay its debts. The company had 40 stores across Ireland, employing 29 people directly and 400 indirectly, the court heard.
Eircom bonds trade at 50pc face value
EIRCOM'S debt fell in the secondary market yesterday in the first full day of trading in the secondary debt market after results for the third quarter 2010 were announced on Friday. Senior bonds issued by Eircom were traded at 49pc to 51pc of face value last night, down from the mid 50s before the results were announced. It came after the company reported a 5.6pc fall in revenues to €442m for the period ended September. Eircom has around €3.8bn of debt, much of which is actively traded in the bond market. One bondholder said the results included little new detail but she welcomed the slower rate of revenue decline.
Fewer public sector staff will lose jobs
FEWER public sector workers in Britain will lose their jobs in the current parliament than previously expected, the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility predicted yesterday. The independent government watchdog now expects 330,000 public sector jobs to go over the coming four years compared with the 490,000 forecast in June.

We finished off our Quebec and Ontario tour in Ottawa last night. I was beautiful and magical and so was Chicoutimi, Toronto, Montreal, Val-David, St-Hyacinthe before that.
We've devoted our lives to music, to spend hours and hours writing songs, behind instruments, rehearsing, carrying heavy gear in and out of buildings, driving vans across countries and to spend most of our awake time thinking about how to get better, how to write better and how to keep surprising ourselves and our listeners musically. We LOVE to do all these things and we will always keep on doing it. But it means the WORLD to us to share it with YOU. We couldn't do it without you. We just want to say that we are forever grateful to every single one of you who comes to our shows with open ears and hearts to share magical musical moments together with us. WE LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

2014 Student Leadership Institute Lab: The Red Cross and International Humanitarian Law
On April 12, NVC organized a workshop with 30 students from the Student Institute Lab on community service and social justice. This workshop focused on the Red Cross and International Humanitarian Law, also known as the "laws of war" under the Geneva Conventions. Students learned about the Red Cross' work and how it provides humanitarian assistance not just in times of natural disasters but also in times of war and conflict particularly when people become displaced from their homes either internally or as refugees in another country. Many students with a military background were able to see the application of these humanitarian laws from the "civilian perspective" and even had an experiential activity designing a refugee camp. Students left the workshop with a greater understanding of human rights and humanitarian law and while being confronted with difficult ethical and moral questions about nationalism, patriotism and the willingness or unwillingness of nations/peoples to offer humanitarian aid or not based on self-interest instead of just doing "the right thing."

Winemaker's Dinner Jan. 28th, 2017
|Posted on 31 January, 2017 at 19:00
Winemaker's dinners at Blackwood Lane are always a great occasion. Each year we host a dinner to help Carlos celebrate his birthday in January, and we occasionally put on one or two throughout the year. If you enjoy eating creatively designed dishes, along with delicious wines, you must plan to attend at least one of these specal dinner events.
This year we featured a four course dinner prepared by Janik, a food passionate Chef, who has extensive cooking experience working at such venues as The Fairmont Hotel for discerning guests. His dishes were put together with delectable ingredients that wowed our palates. Each plate was assembled beautifully as well. We paired each course with Blackwood Lane wines that were chosen to bring out the best in each dish and the best in each wine.
The evening began with canapes that were to die for, including a Mojito Ceviche. Janik's first course was Plated Shaved Asparagus Salad which we paired with Carlos' special reserve sparkling Riesling. Second course was a Butternut Squash and Sage Soup, paired with Seabuckthorn Riesling. Third course was the entree, Porchetta, which was stuffed pork loin served with seasonal vegetables in a Dijon apple au jus. This we paired with our Signature Bordeaux style wine "Alliance". For dessert Janik served us Ginger Pear parfait, which was paired with our dessert wine "Portance" (a Vintage Port style wine).
Well, I hope I have convinced you to join us for our next Winemaker's Dinner here at the winery. It's always a special treat for your tastebuds. Upcoming events are posted on our web page "Events".
Here are some photos of a couple of Janik's dishes from the evening. Bon Apetit!

1st PBC-NPA raids Panabo City PNP Headquarters in Southern Mindanao
Leoncio Pitao
NPA Southern Mindanao 1st Pulang Bagani Company
March 21, 2011
An oversized platoon of the 1st Pulang Bagani Company-New People's Army (1st PBC-NPA) launched a daring attack against the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters in Panabo City, Davao del Norte, Saturday, March 19 at past 10 pm. Two enemies were killed while two others wounded. The Red fighters seized one M16 rifle. The aim of the NPA attack was to disarm the vicious police unit but its hostile actions warranted a countermeasure which resulted in the death of police personnel.
The attack on the PNP station is the fulfillment of the persistent clamor of the masses in Panabo for the NPA to enforce real security measures. The masses are elated with the NPA punitive action on the Panabo police. Contrary to the PNP's hyped role as a public safety battalion and the 10th ID's publicity as a peace and development force, the regime's police and military forces in Panabo are actually coddlers of criminal gangs, if not directly engaged in criminal activities themselves in Panabo City. The Panabo PNP in connivance with the Military Intelligence Battalion-10th ID-AFP based in Panabo are the godfathers and brains behind the crime wave in the city.
The PNP is a legitimate military target consistent with the international rules of war as the PNP engages in combat operations against the NPA in the course of the previous Arroyo regime's Oplan Bantay Laya and the current regime's Internal Peace and Security Plan-Bayanihan. The 10th ID-AFP and the PNP in the region continue to unleash thousands of troops against the revolutionary forces in Southern Mindanao. Thus, the NPA tactical offensives are necessary and justified.
The continuing NPA tactical offensives launched across the country are not violative of the agreements in the GPH-NDFP peace talks. The seizure of enemy firearms is in line with the call of the Communist Party of the Philippines to build and arm new NPA platoons as the people's war intensifies. The Red army is in the strategic defensive against the onslaught of AFP/PNP combat operations under the US-Aquino regime.
The daring raid by an oversized platoon under the 1st PBC-NPA highlights the resolve and determination of the people's army to continuously hold the initiative by successfully countering the anti-people and pro-big agribusiness and mining armed aggression of the 10th ID-AFP, the PNP and its paramilitary units. The recent NPA tactical offensive once again underscores the superiority of guerilla warfare even in the face of massive enemy forces and further exposes the inherent weaknesses and vulnerability of the armed enemy in the face of an ever expanding and deepening revolutionary mass base.

Posted on October 11, 2016
For our second biennial The Common Thread for the Cure scarf design contest, we took the competition to new heights by naming two honorees: a Judges' Choice selected by a panel of esteemed interior designers (click here to meet them), and a People's Choice winner selected by popular vote online.
Many talented artists and designers from our distributor and customer network, as well as the interior design community at large, submitted over thirty beautiful scarf designs. Charleston, South Carolina artist Kerry Steele won the Judges' Choice award for her lovely design and was recently honored at an event in Charleston. The awards event took place at Palmetto Tile Distributors' Charleston showroom, where Kerry received $3,500 on behalf of The Common Thread so that more people in the interiors and furnishing industries can receive practical support when facing the challenges of breast cancer.
Here's Kerry's fabulous, award-winning creation, called "Love's Alchemy," along with her concept statement.
"My design is a modified version of one of my original paintings titled, "Love's Alchemy" with the Crossville logo layered over in a repeat. I felt that the imagery along with the title of my work fit this project well. Love is an essential need and becomes magnified during times of illness. In my work as a whole, I seek to create visual metaphors for abstract ideas and real objects. The imagery in this particular piece can be viewed as both a metaphor for transformative love and a novel depiction of the breast cancer ribbon.
The imagery in my original painting reminds me of the iconic breast cancer ribbon, though that was not my original intention with this painting. My brushstrokes were meant to evoke the different ways love moves through our lives, changes us and the way we then view it in turn. My inspiration evolved through the process of painting. It began as an idea about romantic love but as it grew nearer completion, the complexity of the piece led me to consider a broader view. Love of parent and child, of community or country, as well as, acts of altruistic love came to mind.
The title came about while I was thinking about how love of all kinds can have a magical, transformative effect. When working out of love for a cause or in a personal situation real change can happen and that is why I chose this particular painting of mine."
Kerry Steele is a native of Virginia and recent transplant to Charleston SC, where she paints in her studio at Redux Contemporary Art Center. She is represented by Gregg Irby Gallery in Atlanta, Anne Neilson Fine Art in Charlotte NC, and Corner Gallery in Norfolk VA.
Stay tuned next week to meet the People's Choice scarf design winner, Beatriz Lopez!

[in-ur-shuh, ih-nur-] /ɪnˈɜr ʃə, ɪˈnɜr-/
inertness, especially with regard to effort, motion, action, and the like; inactivity; sluggishness.
Medicine/Medical. lack of activity, especially as applied to a uterus during childbirth when its contractions have decreased or stopped.
/ɪnˈɜːʃə; -ʃɪə/
the state of being inert; disinclination to move or act
1737, from inertia + -al (1).
1713, introduced as a term in physics 17c. by German astronomer and physician Johann Kepler (1571-1630), from Latin inertia "unskillfulness, idleness," from iners (genitive inertis) "unskilled, inactive;" see inert. Used in Modern Latin by Newton (1687). Sense of "apathy" first recorded 1822.
inertia in·er·tia (ĭ-nûr'shə)
The resistance of a body to changes in its momentum. Because of inertia, a body at rest remains at rest, and a body in motion continues moving in a straight line and at a constant speed, unless a force is applied to it. Mass can be considered a measure of a body's inertia. See more at Newton's laws of motion, See also mass.
inertia [(i-nur-shuh)]
In physics, the tendency for objects at rest to remain at rest, and for objects in uniform motion to continue in motion in a straight line, unless acted on by an outside force. (See Newton's laws of motion.)

Octane is a free, open-source GameMaker.
Octane will be a good solution for both game making beginners and experts alike. For beginners because of no need to code a simple game; for experts because of its advanced (full) Python scripting and full source code access.
Octane is written in Python – a great object-oriented programming language. OpenGL runs the games. Because of OpenGL, Octane delivers an easier way to make games running at blazing fast speeds.
Octane is currently in the pre-alpha/alpha stage. It is availible for download at Octane's SourceForge page or over here.
- Completely rewriten core
- Full object events-and-actions support
- Full scene support
- I left Pyglet/Rabbyt (because of Vista and some Linux isssues) but migrated to OpenGL
- Awesome scene editing
- View Code dialog
- Resource packing
- Correction of more bugs
- Many, many more things
Note for Linux:
Octane is completely developed in Windows and tested in only Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. However, I DO know that Octane's Linux dependencies are:
- > or = python 2.6
- MUST > or = pyqt 4.5
- pygame
- python-opengl
(Works best under sudo.)


text: Hi there all, Got a new project underway for PersonalisedCards .co.uk and looking for a new logo. Although we have a brand across other sites we run under Photo Stuff Limited this new project is a joint venture and will be owned by Personalised Cards Limited and although I would like to keep the same smiley face style we need to differentiate slightly. Is up to £100 a fair budget for a logo? I was planning launching some sort of competition for this but thought I would put it out for ideas here on Design Forums. I have colours what I need to adhere to. What are your thoughts? Mark

I had a few uninterrupted hours to quilt this weekend so I was able to finish the Project Y top (really must think of a name). Even with the sketches, I ended up playing around with the fabrics and the layout on my design wall. In the end, I found that I liked the Modified Radiating Outward layout best. It felt bolder and the piecing was simpler and cleaner than the Radiating Outward layout. The photo below makes the colours look much brighter than they are in real life. I'm very pleased so far with how this is turning out.
Now for the backing. Since there isn't anything else similar in my stash, I'll be trying to use up as many of the scraps from the front as possible.

Using Social Media Content to Brand Your Ecommerce
Branding your company is of utmost importance today with the constant influx of new internet startups every year. The introduction of new companies tend to blur the lines between you and your competitors and consumers have a hard time distinguishing between your company and your competitors. Standing out requires that you create a unique brand and establish a strong presence in the marketplace.
Best Channels for Doing Social Media
One of the best channels for doing this is social media. Because users on social media tend to share their discoveries to their network, a great branding campaign can really proliferate your brand throughout the web. However, it's important to know how to properly use social media for branding.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you are targeting the right audience let alone the right social platform. You need to start by figuring out which social platform your audience uses. For example, if you are targeting business owners, it may not be a smart idea to focus too much of your efforts on Instagram. It may be wiser to use Twitter, Facebook, Google AdWords and LinkedIn. You also want to try to target people that have a strong interest in your products or services rather than trying to target a broad audience.
Build Brand Credibility and Authority
The next thing you want to do is to constantly create and push out great content. Many businesses make the mistake of trying to sell to a new audience right out of the gates. Instead, you want to build a relationship by creating great content. This helps your audience associate value with your brand while allowing you to build brand credibility and authority. Great content also tends to be shared which only serves to help you build your brand's presence.
Finally, you want to maintain a positive reputation. If a customer has a problem, they'll have no qualms about posting it on your social media page. You want to be diligent in keeping track of the activity on your social media page and properly respond to customer that post there, as negative attention can damage your reputation. Social media can serve as an excellent public relations platform if used correctly.

When you hear makeup aficionados say they swear by using primer makeup you immediately think: not another thing to put on my face. For some, especially women with oily and acnetic skin, it makes sense to be wary of adding more cosmetics to your face. But it is good to use primer makeup in your routine to give you a smooth "canvas" to work with, help minimize your pores and any fine lines and keep your look fresh and vibrant all day long.
Skin or face primer gives you a smooth canvas, or base, so your foundation has something to hold onto. This allows your makeup to stay on much longer and it should help minimize the appearance of large pores or fine lines. Primers typically come in cream, gel or powder-like form. When selecting a skin primer for yourself choose one that is silicone-based because these last longer than other primers.
If you have reactive skin or cystic acne it's a good idea to test the skin primer product in a small section on your lower jaw line before applying it all over your face. If you haven't had any swelling or discomfort from the product after a while it is safe to use.
Eye primer -- like skin primer -- also helps create a smooth canvas for your eye makeup and helps to keep your eye makeup long lasting. The natural oils and moisture from your eyes or humid weather can cause eye makeup to smear. Eye primer helps to keep this from happening by creating a barrier between the oils of your skin and your eye makeup. Eye primer usually comes in a lotion or cream consistency.
Because eye primer is a liquid product it doesn't work with cream eye shadows and is better for use with powder eye shadows.
Before applying skin or eye primer you should wait about five minutes for your moisturizer and eye cream to settle into your skin. Then use a small, pea-size amount of skin primer and rub it in with your fingertips. It goes without saying that your hands should be clean when you do this. Once your skin primer is carefully rubbed in, apply your foundation and concealer over it. With eye primer you also use just a tiny amount. Apply all over your lid and under your brow with either your fingers or an eye makeup applicator. Once you've smoothed it completely out, start creating your eye look for the day.

|A theoretical study of population II Cepheids with periods in the range 10-20 days

|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
A theoretical study of population II variables with periods in the range 10 - 20 days (W Virginis variables) is presented. A modified hydrodynamic Christy code is used in conjunction with the Carson opacities, in preference to the Los Alamos tables, following the work of Carson, Stothers and Vemury on the shorter period BL Herculis variables. Twenty-five survey models are presented, along with nine other comparison models of varying masses and opacities. A study of the observations shows that the division of these variables into two types by observers might be explained by a slightly different mass for each type, thus making the division dependent on the star's previous evolution. The non-linear results obtained by this study show that a mass of 0.6 M☉ is a good one to use, and that M = 0.5 M☉ makes little difference (although M = 0.8 M☉ seems to be too high). The results in general compare well with the observations, as both also show the split into two types of light curve. Three good models of individual stars are presented, on a par with the models of BL Herculis published by Carson, Stothers and Vemury. The bumps in the light and velocity curves of many of the models seem to be real, caused by the Christy "echo". A few of the models show some RV Tauri behaviour. One in particular shows very strange behaviour, involving a violent 81ternation of light curve shapes. Models constructed using the Los Alamos opacities do not produce results as consistent with observations as those of the main survey. The study shows that these stars can be represented by hydrodynamic models of mass 0.6 M☉ using the Carson opacities, but also that convection may be important in the cooler stars in order to model them accurately. This indicates the direction in which further theoretical work may lie.
