Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you are just in the dream phase of building or you have been living in your dream for many years, there are many questions regarding log homes that we hear. Please don't hesitate to give us a call if a question you need answered is not here. We are happy to help!
I have a piece of land that I would like to build on. Can I use the timber from my property to build my home?
What is the difference between a milled log and a handcrafted log?
A milled log is one that has been put through a sawmill, lathe or a planer and has been cut into a specific shape or profile. Logs may have a flat top and bottom surface, may be coped, or may be tongue-and-grooved. The sides of the log can be sanded smooth, left with a rougher/rustic look or hand-peeled with a drawknife. Milled logs are usually air and/or kiln dried to a specific moisture content before they are used to build your home.
Handrafted logs are either hand-peeled with a drawknife or water-peeled. Then the logs are fitted together in one of several ways. Scribe-fit is a style popular in this area. In this style, one log is scribed to precisely fit over the log below it. The scribe-fit style needs no chinking and is usually joined at the corners using a shrink-to-fit saddle notch system. Another way logs are fit together leaves a space between each round of logs that will be filled with a backer-rod material and chinking. This style is called chinked. Other styles are piece-en-piece, and hand-hewn dovetail. Because there is so much more labor involved in handcrafting logs, they are generally more expensive than milled logs.
What type of wood is best to use for a log home?
All of the species of wood commonly used in buidling homes; fir, pine, spruce and cedar, will last several hundred years, provided proper maintenance is given to the wood and the home has a good design.
What is the cost of a log home?
When considering a handcrafted log home there are many factors that will go into determining a price:
- Basic design of the home
- The number log corners
- The height of the log walls
- The number of openings in the log work
- The log end detailing
- Species of the log used
- Building technique
- Scribe fit
- Chinked
- Handhewn Dovetail
- Piece en piece
- Distance and access to your property
- Site conditions such as trees in close to your home site
- Narrow twisty driveway
- Distance from our building site to your site
Can you paint my existing log home?
My log walls are rotting. What can you do to help and/or how can I prevent it from happening?

Annual reports for the Rainforest Alliance. Designed in collaboration with Pat Floyd.
Branding and bottle labels for Greenehouse Brewing Co., the home-brewed beers that I make with my roommates. Rather than maintain a single look, I instead use the Greenehouse labels as a space to experiment with new styles, techniques, and materials. The Strongman series and Blonde Bombshell were collaborations with Nate Finney.
Map and infographic spread about the recovery of New Orleans in the five years after Hurricane Katrina for the Summer 2010 issue of GOOD. It was also included in the book How to Rebuild a City: Field Guide from a Work in Progress.
A series of infographics for the Rainforest Alliance website highlighting some of the major crops that the organization certifies.
Illustrated infographics to accompany the first comprehensive inventory and analysis of the city of Detroit's greenhouse gas emissions, which was carried out by a team at the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment. I also created a set of icons for the report's different categories of emissions.
Various icons created for the Rainforest Alliance, primarily for use on the organization's website. The first set was used to illustrate impact statistics. The second set depicts the organization's five main program areas, and the final set represents some of the different agricultural products that the Rainforest Alliance certifies.
Branding for Durham Drum Lessons, the music instruction business of Dale Baker, a professional drummer based in Durham, North Carolina. In addition to the logo, which features the Lucky Strike water tower, a local landmark, I developed a flexible set of graphics and patterns that Dale could use to easily update his existing website and social media pages.
Branding and T-shirt design for Produce Fresh, an apparel company based in Brooklyn.
A selection of materials created over the course of an internship with the Whitney's design department. During my time there, I worked on a wide range of promotional and informational pieces, including brochures, posters, mailers, gift cards, and museum signage.

From 2010 to 2012, as a personal project, I kept track of every trip I took on the subway, and created poster-size visualizations for each year. The underlying map, while drawn from scratch, was conceived as a hybrid of Massimo Vignelli's Weekender map for the MTA and Eddie Jabbour's Kick Map, and owes a large debt to both.
Various marks and logos.

To the Editor:
Bill Clinton is no John F. Kennedy, even though he claims to be like him. Here is why. Kennedy, whom I respected as a World War II hero, as a man and as a real honest-to-God Democrat, said "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

After the excesses of the holiday season, the New Year means dieting for many people – but in Florida, dieting can be fun as well as healthy.
The secret to one successful dieter losing hundreds of pounds was walking round Florida's famous theme parks.
Stephen Pagano used to enjoy riding Florida's thrilling roller coasters, but in the days when he weighed around 43 stone, (600 pounds), he could not fit in the seats and get clipped in to the safety gear, the Tampa Fox news site reports.
So instead of enjoying the theme park rides, Stephen would walk round the parks as exercise instead of using a gym treadmill. Making good use of his annual pass to Busch Gardens, Stephen visited several times a week for almost three years.
He also received help and support from Weight Watchers in Brandon, Florida, and expanded his exercise goals over time. He still carries a keychain filled with charms the represented each completed 5km run or weight benchmark.
It took two years and a loss of around 23 stones (325 pounds) before Stephen could get back into the seat and ride the rollercoasters again.
Garrett Kenny, CEO of leading Florida real estate agent and developer, Feltrim Group says, "Florida is famous for the South Beach diet, but perhaps now Stephen's 'theme park' exercise method will take off and help people shed a few pounds gained over Christmas – as well as having fun."
Stephen always had trouble with his weight and in his early 20s his health spiralled out of control.
"I couldn't walk from the (Publix) parking lot into the building. I needed an electric cart. I was so oversized, it was dying pretty quickly. I had to do something," he says.
Stephen used to wear a 9 XL and 70-inch waist pants. Now, he has lost half his body weight, and his waist measures less than 44 inches.
"It's been a long time since I met somebody with the drive that he has," says Peter Berry, one of his work supervisors. "If anyone has the drive to lose 350 pounds, that tells me something about their personality, and their drive to make themselves better. Hopefully, I can have ten more Stephens."
Stephen still visits Busch Gardens every week and rides the big rollercoasters, but he also has a new goal, to go skydiving.
And his message to fellow dieters is to keep going. "Take it one step at a time, one day at a time. Tomorrow's a new day, just get started. You only fail if you give up," he says.

This month we're taking the first steps towards paying down the mortgage debt on our rental properties. I've been looking forward to doing this for quite some time, but we've been focused on building a rainy day savings since purchasing our second property earlier this year.
To Pre-Pay or Not to Pre-Pay?
One financial philosophy discourages the pre-payment of low-interest mortgages if other investments offer higher returns. I agree with the math, but tend to share Dave Ramsey's concern that it does not reflect the additional risk. If rental rates crash or a unit isn't habitable for a period of time, I want a stronger financial cushion than what we have now – though a larger emergency fund could serve the same purpose. Truth be told, I get personal satisfaction knowing something is paid in full, so I'd even be willing to take a small financial hit for the peace of mind. I'm also inspired by my earlier calculations on how reinvesting cash flow affects return rate.
Our Mortgage Today
We're tackling the smaller of the two loans for no better reason than we want to see progress faster. With no pre-payments, the $108,000 loan will cost $83,265 in interest for a total cost of $191,265 (~33% more than the $144,000 purchase price).
Our Mortgage Pay Off Strategy
Over time I've built a $10k savings reserve for rental property expenses and emergencies. Instead of following my usual balance sheet, each month I'll replenish the reserve back to $10k (as needed), set aside HOA and income tax savings, and then apply any additional cash flow towards the mortgage. It should also provide an interesting perspective into what the positive cash flow actually is vs. what my balance sheet says it should be.
The amount will vary depending on income and expenses for any particular month – some months won't have any pre-payment at all. My first extra payment was a meager $93.72. It doesn't seem like much, but even small amounts make a noticeable difference for 30-year loans. Every $1.00 now saves $2.46 in interest – though this ratio will decrease over time because of the amortization schedule. Applying $93.72 every month moving forward reduces the mortgage by almost 7 1/2 years and saves $22,734 in interest.
Not too shabby, but I expect to do significantly better than that. This last month had some irregular expenses like a leasing fee and related costs to prepare the unit for the new tenant. I'll be documenting my progress with the Vertex42 loan amortization schedule in Excel. I'm a big fan of this file because I can apply different extra payment amounts each month while it keeps a running total of time reduced and interest saved.

So, you're naturally a screamer whose partner has to put a pillow over your mouth when you're having an orgasm.
You've probably resented this at some point, because when you're cumming, instead of reveling in pleasure, you're thinking about who heard you and thought you were getting your organs harvested against your will.
Your loudness might have left you envious of those quiet types who let out one tiny sigh when they cum. WTF is that all about?
Maybe you've even fantasized about, at the very least, being a grunter because it would be better to sound like a cavewoman than a murder victim when you have sex. At least dogs wouldn't bark every time you climax and your stupid, nosy neighbors would stop making jokes about you being a porn star

Special Economic Zones of China
Chinese Economy Updated: Sun, Jul 22, 2012 03:42 AM By HugChina
Special Economic Zones of China were introduced in early 1980s. The first four SEZs are Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou,Xiamen in 1980. In 1990, Shanghai Pudong New Area was opened as a SEZ.
HistoryThe development of SEZ went through several stages:Since the late 1970s, and especially since the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee in 1978, the PRC government has decided to reform the national economic setup.In 1980, the first four SEZs were established in proximity to Hong Kong (Shenzhen), Macau (Zhuhai) and Taiwan (Shantou and Xiamen). Their location was aimed at attracting "overseas" Chinese capital and also as a showcase for the potential impacts of such a reform, which was dramatically different from the centrally planned policies that have taken place since the setting of the People's Republic of China in 1949. These SEZs were also close to Hong Kong, the only modern port facility of the time that had effective access to the global shipping network.By 1984, the SEZ model was judged to be successful and could be expanded. The initial setting of the four SEZs was solely concerning southern China, so 14 coastal port cities, from the Dalian to Beihai, were selected to become SEZs. This triggered the development of modern port infrastructures, particularly container ports, that were essential to support an export-oriented strategy.The importance of specific economic clusters was acknowledged in 1985 when the status of SEZ was expanded to the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Xiamen-Zhangzhou-Quanzhou Triangle (Min River delta). This also provided additional space for the setting of industrial districts. In time, the Pearl River Delta would become the world's most important manufacturing cluster.In 1988, the status of SEZ was expanded to Hainan Province which mostly developed the touristic and agribusiness sector.In June 1990 the PRC government opened the Pudong New Area in Shanghai to overseas investment, and additional cities along the Yangtze River valley, with Shanghai's Pudong New Area as its "dragon head."Since 1992, the State Council has opened a number of border cities, and in addition, opened all the capital cities of inland provinces and autonomous regions. In addition, 15 free trade zones, 32 state-level economic and technological development zones, and 53 new and high-tech industrial development zones have been established in large and medium-sized cities.Primarily geared to exporting processed goods, the five special economic zones are foreign-oriented areas which integrate science and industry with trade, and benefit from preferential policies and special managerial systems. In 1999, Shenzhen's new-and high-tech industry became one with best prospects, and the output value of new-and high-tech products reached 81.98 billion yuan, making up 40.5% of the city's total industrial output value. The same story happened for Shanghai. Since its founding in 1992, the Shanghai Pudong New Area has made great progress in both absorbing foreign capital and accelerating the economic development of the Yangtze River delta. The state has extended special preferential policies to the Pudong New Area that are not yet enjoyed by the special economic zones. The state also permits the zone to allow foreign business people to open financial institutions and run tertiary industries. In addition, the state has given Shanghai permission to set up a stock exchange, expand its examination and approval authority over investments and allow foreign-funded banks to engage in RMB business. In 1999, the GDP of the Pudong New Zone came to 80 billion yuan, and the total industrial output value, 145 billion yuan.
List of SEZsAs part of its economic reforms and policy of opening to the world, between 1980 and 1984 China established special economic zones (SEZs) in Shantou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai in Guangdong Province and Xiamen in Fujian Province and designated the entire island province of Hainan a special economic zone.In 1984 China opened 14 other coastal cities to overseas investment (listed north to south): Dalian, Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Yantai, Qingdao, Lianyungang, Nantong, Shanghai, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Zhanjiang, and Beihai.Then, beginning in 1985, the central government expanded the coastal area by establishing the following open economic zones (listed north to south): Liaodong Peninsula, Hebei Province (which surrounds Beijing and Tianjin), Shandong Peninsula, Yangtze River Delta, Xiamen-Zhangzhou-Quanzhou Triangle in southern Fujian Province, Pearl River Delta, and Guangxi.In 1990 the Chinese government decided to open the Pudong New Zone in Shanghai to overseas investment, as well as more cities in the Yangzi River Valley.Since 1992 the State Council has opened a number of border cities and all the capital cities of inland provinces and autonomous regions.In addition, 15 free-trade zones, 32 state-level economic and technological development zones, and 53 new and high-tech industrial development zones have been established in large and medium-sized cities.
Role played by SEZs of ChinaSpecial economic zones (SEZ) played an instrumental role in the integration of China to the global economy and its economic development. Their setting aims at attracting foreign investment and technology, many through the setting of joint ventures. The bulk of the output is to be exported to foreign markets, underlining that SEZ are part of an export oriented strategy that has characterized many Asian economies. The following incentives are offered to foreign investors: * Labor. The ability to use the Chinese vast pool of low cost labor was a powerful incentive. Foreign firms have also the right to hire and fire labor, which was different from the prevailing lifetime system of public or collective firms. * Land use. A planned zone with infrastructures and access to a port complex. The protection of private property is also significant since until 2004, there was no constitutional protection of private property outside SEZs. * Tax incentives. Reduced corporate income tax rate. No custom duties on imported materials and parts as long as they are for re-exports. Income tax exemptions for foreigners working in SEZs.
Economic policies of SEZs1. Special tax incentives for foreign investments in the SEZs. 2. Greater independence on international trade activities. 3. Economic characteristics are represented as "4 principles": 1). Construction primarily relies on attracting and utilizing foreign capital 2). Primary economic forms are Sino-foreign joint ventures and partnerships as well as wholly foreign-owned enterprises 3). Products are primarily export-oriented 4). Economic activities are primarily driven by market forcesSEZs are listed separately in the national planning (including financial planning) and have province-level authority on economic administration. SEZs local congress and government have legislation authority.

Clan of Champions, a downloadable role-playing brawler for PlayStation 3 and PC, reminds me of that episode of South Park in which Stan competes to earn a score of 1 million in the video game Guitar Hero.
Stan's talent agency organizes and promotes a concert during which he will break the point barrier, but Stan becomes unable to cope with stardom. He stops practicing and starts playing an addictive game sold to him by a shady video game store clerk in which the only goal is to chase a cartoon dragon around a forest.
There's no way to beat the game; you can never catch the dragon. (The episode is a riff on rampant drug use in the rock-and-roll scene.)
Clan of Champions is like the dragon game in that it's pointless. As far as I can tell, there's no obvious way to beat it. Once you complete all the story missions, you simply raise the difficulty and start over. You can replay the missions in any order you want.
The game is deceptively addictive if you can get past a few glaring flaws, such as clunky combat, repetitive characters and environments, and an overly awkward menu interface.
When you first boot up the game, following a CliffNotes-like introduction to the story line, you are prompted to create a character. You must choose between human, elf and orc, then assign different stat points to different abilities. After that, you name your character, pick facial features and select a voice. You may make your character's skin any color of the rainbow.
My original character was a neon-green elf princess named Larry, but I deleted her because I couldn't stand the voice I chose. Every time she swung her blade, she made a noise that sounded like a nasally bird call — think Xena: Warrior Princess's "ai ai ai" battle cry if someone held her nostrils shut.
My second character was a bright red orc named Fignuts. After selecting the least annoying voice for him, I sought to immerse myself in the combat. I selected the first mission and was thrust into an arena with computer-controlled partners. (One of my partners had the same annoying voice as my elf princess. C'est la vie.)
Cue waves of bad guys.
The combat is entertaining enough, despite the clunky animations and pacing. You can perform low, medium and high attacks to damage your opponent's legs, torso and feet. Your goal is to break the enemy's armor, or cause them to drop it, then bludgeon them. Of course, bad guys can destroy your armor, too
Clan of Champions is unique among role-playing games because you don't have to pause combat or enter a menu to change your equipment or character class.
You can pick up weapons and armor quickly during combat. See a more powerful sword on the ground? Press right or left on the directional pad to put it in your right or left hand. You can switch among three combat classes — sword and shield, two-handed or hand-to-hand — based on what weapons you pick up. Each combat class has its own skills.
You earn money after each battle that can be spent to unlock weapons and equipment permanently. Between missions, you'll navigate the confusing menus to shop in stores; level up your character's weapons, magic and combat skills; and outfit your warrior with more powerful weapons and armor.
Then you select a new mission and do it all again.
I have a lot of complaints about Clan of Champions, but I find myself playing it frequently. It's kind of therapeutic after a long day to zone out and focus totally on making Fignuts a bit stronger or finding a piece of armor needed to complete my set.
One of these days, Fignuts might be strong enough to take the fight online, a step I have been too scared to take because my character is relatively low-level. The thing is, the longer I wait, the more time other players have to level up. I might never catch up.
Just like Stan never caught up to that dragon.
'Clan of Champions'
About: Make a human, elf or orc character and take him or her into battle. Get loot, level up.
Players: Single, multiplayer
Pros: Combat is unique and fulfilling. Leveling up characters and seeking the best equipment can keep you busy for hours if you can overlook the game's technical shortcomings.
Cons: Repetitive enemies and environments, clunky combat animations and annoying character voices, to name a few. The game plays out in quick-hit missions with little story; it would seem more at home on a hand-held console than a PC or home console.

Tim Lindahl pulled into the parking lot of Wheat Belt Public Power District in Sidney, Nebraska, on a January morning in 2005. He was early for his interview for a manager of information technology position, so he turned off the engine of his pick-up truck, pulled out his laptop, and searched for an internet signal to check emails while he waited.
In 2005, cellular signals were far less ubiquitous than today, even in a town of 6,000 on the panhandle of western Nebraska with an interstate highway close by. But he was in luck; the signal from Wheat Belt's Wi-Fi network was strong—and unsecured.
Lindahl found that not only could he jump onto the internet signal to access his email; he could freely surf inside the utility's network.
"I quickly found the server and several computers, one named 'CFO,' another named 'General Manager,' none of which were password protected," he says. "I realized that [network protection] was not on their minds, as it wasn't for most people at that time."
His discovery provided an opportunity to demonstrate his IT credentials once inside the office.
"I showed them what I had found and gave them some pointers on how to secure that down a little bit," he says. His interviewers "realized that I could have absconded with every single file they ever had and they would have never known I was there in the network."
He got the job.
The use and role of information technology has expanded enormously in the 12 years since Lindahl was hired at Wheat Belt. While password management is still a challenge at many co-ops, managing the full range of cybersecurity threats in a utility has escalated far beyond that.
Unlike other aspects of utility functions, it can be hard to measure and evaluate success in cybersecurity, which can complicate decisions on resource allocations. Privacy needs and concerns make it inherently difficult to share information, even within the cooperative family. And implementing cybersecurity actions can require structural and cultural changes within each cooperative, including educating board members about new and fast-changing technologies, acquiring the tools to track and measure cyber-risk, and hiring or developing cybersecurity-savvy IT talent.
The good news is that co-ops large and small are responding to the challenge by nurturing a culture of cybersecurity that, like co-op safety programs, relies on every employee to contribute to the effort. And cybersecurity is increasingly a topic at board meetings, NRECA conferences, and within the broader cooperative community.
Look for a series of tools and resources to help co-ops promote cybersecurity awareness internally and externally. These items will be available in August on Cooperative.com as part of the October issue of Straight Talk.
In addition, NRECA will co-host a Cybersecurity Summit on October 10 at NRECA headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. The event will offer techniques and resources for protecting your cooperative against the most common cyber threats and strengthening your cyber-resilience. The event is free and open to NRECA members.
Communication-based technologies are now integrated into every facet of a cooperative's business, and securing those technologies from cyberthreats will help safeguard the financial security and welfare of the co-ops and their members, and the integrity of the electric grid. Helping cooperatives build stronger cybersecurity programs is the goal of the Rural Cooperative Cybersecurity Capabilities Program (RC3), launched by NRECA in 2016 with U.S. Department of Energy funding and managed by the association's Business and Technology Strategies (BTS) team.
The program is developing tools, resources, and training opportunities to help co-ops build stronger cyberdefenses and increase their resiliency to cyberattacks like ransomware.
Led by Cynthia Hsu, manager of cybersecurity programs at BTS, the RC3 Program held a series of Cybersecurity Summits around the country this year. More than 100 cooperative members participated in the January, April, and May summits, and each was hosted by a leading university or national energy lab conducting cybersecurity research. At the heart of each one-day event was a peer-to-peer exchange among cooperative employees on the key challenges they face.
Below are some of the highlights from the summit discussions.
An engaged board
Hsu says one particular message came through loud and clear from summit participants: An engaged board and supportive CEO makes all the difference.
Lindahl, who is now Wheat Belt's general manager, says the foundation for a strong cybersecurity program was in place before he arrived.
"I've had the luxury of having a very technology-adept board ever since I was hired," he says. "Twelve years ago, they saw that we really needed to make better use of the technology we have and pay attention to it. Having a board that was engaged since the beginning has made my life a lot easier."
Brian Heithoff, CEO of High West Energy in Pine Bluff, Wyoming, and an attendee at the first summit, agrees.
"Boards take a lot of pride in being good stewards of the co-op's well-being today and in considering how to innovate for the future," he says. "My board has displayed considerable foresight when it comes to protecting our cyber assets, and I appreciate their leadership."
1. "Know what you can do about what you don't know." Deploy in-line intrusion prevention systems that can detect so-called "zero day threats," which can be revealed by pre-attack patterns.
2. Have a breach plan that includes regular data back-ups that are stored in locations not connected to your network.
3. Have a way to recoup losses. "You need to know your financial exposure and the cost of protecting your data and your system," VanHoose says, adding a cybersecurity insurance policy "will pay off in the long run."
Managing risk starts with awareness
"In general, boards easily get the financial and operational risk of something that threatens the co-op's distribution lines," says Heithoff. "They have a harder time gauging the possibility that the co-op's IT system will be hacked."
He says many think, "We're a small utility in the middle of rural America. Why would they target us when they have Citibank and ExxonMobil to go after?"
Mark Hayden, CEO of Missoula Electric Cooperative in Missoula, Montana, is working to correct this misperception.
"It's not about being on anyone's radar. The bad guys are throwing out a wide net looking to see who they can snag," he says. "They may not necessarily be targeting Missoula Electric Co-op, but if they find a crack, they'll exploit it."
Lindahl adds that one of the challenges in pursuing cybersecurity awareness is that success is the absence of an event.
"The measurement of what cybersecurity can be is in the thing that never happens. And how do you measure what doesn't happen?"
Who 'owns' cybersecurity?
Hsu says defining who at a co-op "owns" cybersecurity is an important part of developing a cybersecurity plan.
"Cybersecurity is a risk-management strategy which [belongs to] everybody," says Lindahl. "Yes, cybersecurity is an IT function, but it goes far beyond that. IT just carries out the strategy."
He says at Wheat Belt, cybersecurity is handled much like safety, where everyone is responsible.
"We do monthly security updates for our directors, and we talk about it extensively in our weekly staff meetings," he says. "Can I say with absolute confidence that one of our guys won't get hurt tomorrow? No. But we haven't had anyone injured in 10 years because we've focused on safety. With cybersecurity you can create a good culture, put in the right policies and procedures, the layers of risk protection, and prevent 95 to 98 percent of the intrusions you might otherwise experience."
Hayden says Missoula Electric looks at it the same way: "We have elevated cybersecurity to a core value at our co-op. We need leadership and support from the board, and the CEO has to be all-in. But while I'm responsible, the entire staff, the linemen, the front office, everyone has to lead by example. It's risk mitigation done by each of us."
Cybersecurity resources for small utilities
RC3 summit attendees expressed a strong desire for resources that are specifically designed for cooperatives and for smaller utilities. As one participant explained, "One of the biggest challenges for small IT staffs is just knowing where to start."
Hsu says existing resources can be complex or theoretical, making it hard for utilities with limited staff resources to translate the information into prioritized actionable steps.
Co-op representatives at the summits also expressed a range of concerns about sharing information. This includes the risk of information about a cybersecurity vulnerability or incident falling into the wrong hands; fear of repercussions if a security breach were revealed; uncertainty about how to differentiate between an actual vulnerability and a benign communication; and lack of clarity on when and where to report an incident.
Lindahl says that despite these uncertainties, it's more important than ever for co-ops to find ways learn from one another and share ideas and experiences.
"There are certain practices that we won't allow outside our walls just for our protection," he says. "But there are a lot of things that we can share, simple things that everybody can do that won't harm the organization if they get out."
"Even a simple cyberattack can effectively destroy a small business," said Rick Snow, owner of Maine Indoor Karting, in testimony before a U.S. House committee. He noted that a recent NSBA survey found 42 percent of its members had experienced a cyberattack, and in 75 percent of those cases, it took more than a day for the issue to be resolved.
A 2016 study by the Ponemon Institute found that of the 598 companies they surveyed with fewer than 1,000 employees, 55 percent had experienced a cyberattack in the past 12 months. The most common breaches were web-based and phishing/social engineering attacks.

چکیده انگلیسی
This paper develops an open-economy growth model to analyze the growth and welfare effects of the European Union's R&D policy. In the case of independent countries, each national government chooses the level of government-funded research non-cooperatively and fails to internalize the spillover effects across countries. Consequently, government-funded research is underprovided. In an economic union, the central government budget causes the common-pool problem and leads to an overprovision of government-funded research. Within this framework, we find that although an economic union dominates independent countries in economic growth, the welfare domination is ambiguous. In particular, there is a critical degree of cross-country spillover above (below) which an economic union dominates (is dominated by) independent countries in social welfare.
مقدمه انگلیسی
At the European Council of 2002 in Barcelona, the European Union (EU) sets an objective of increasing the research and development (R&D) effort in Europe to 3% of the EU's GDP by 2010. Due to the externalities associated with R&D investment, the market equilibrium level of R&D spending is likely to be lower than the social optimum.1 Therefore, government intervention may be able to correct for this market failure. For example, in a quantitative analysis, Eaton et al. (1998) find that increasing R&D subsidy can lead to a significant increase in the EU's per capita income.2 However, because the benefits of R&D policies are largely shared across countries, an individual country has little incentive to pursue these policies on its own. This conventional policy argument suggests a role for supranational government intervention, such as the EU for the European economies, on R&D policies.
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
This paper provides a politico-economic analysis on the provision of government-funded research in the EU and argues that there exists a tradeoff between government-funded research provided by an economic union (characterized by free-riding and overprovision) and independent countries (characterized by underprovision due to cross-country spillover). The theoretical analysis suggests that neither (a) the presence of cross-country spillover of R&D policies in the EU nor (b) a positive growth effect of the EU's Framework Programme is a sufficient argument for supranational government intervention. However, despite ambiguity in policy prescription, the finding that an economic union dominates independent countries in welfare if and only if the degree of cross-country spillover is larger than a moderate value should be comforting to those advocating supranational government intervention by the EU on R&D policies. After all, a substantial degree of cross-country spillover is most likely to prevail in the real world, and R&D policy centralization by the EU should do more good than harm.

3D imaging created by utilizing various free and / or inexpensive computer 3D technologies
We are a couple of amateur cameramen who shoot all of our images using the relatively inexpensive and easy to use Fujifuilm W3 point-n-shoot 3D camera, mostly on automatic settings. From it we download images into our computer where we convert them into the anaglyph 3D display format that you see on this website. It is one of only 2 3D formats that work for viewing 3D images on your existing computer or tablet screen. It requires the viewer to utilize red-cyan 3D glasses in order to focus & view its 3D illusion. The following photo slideshow video displays a number of out-of-screen 3D shots in order to show you how good its 3D illusion is....
If your device does not support playing this 3D video it must be viewed on another device that does support it.
This anaglyph format is an "old school" 3D format from the 1950's. Back then it was displayed to movie audiences upon special extra bright movie screens and it still works today on computer monitors and tablet and smartphone screens. But computer, tablet and smart phone screens cannot display the POLARIZED images required by the new, better 3D formats now seen at the movies or on 3D TV's or on specialized 3D gaming computers.
So, as a result of this problem, our anaglyph 3D format (though over 60 years old) is "cutting edge" for existing computer and tablet screens because it uses colored images (rather than polarized images) to create its 3D illusion. However to do so this format requires the"old school" red - cyan colored 3D glasses, not polarized 3D glasses, in order for viewers to focus it's amazingly realistic 3D illusions upon your existing screens. The video below demonstrates the limits of its out-of-screen capabilities.
If your device does not support playing this 3D video it must be viewed on another device that does support it.
The anaglyph 3D format works for both 3D photos and 3D videos. We call all of this POOR MAN'S 3D because it costs so little for us to produce and for you to view through $1 cardboard red-cyan 3D filter glasses. In fact our costs to create and display our 3D images on nearly any computer screen are miniscule compared to producing higher quality polarized, passive or active shutter-glass 3D movies and 3D TV images. So we trade-off huge production and viewing costs for a very slight reduction in image display quality within our Poor Man's 3D and that's how we can give you FREE 3D here on this website.
Our advice to any of you who may decide to emulate what we have done here in order to visually promote your own city or town to tourists (or to visually promote anything else for that matter) is that you should try to utilize a quad core computer which is configured with at least 4 gigabytes of RAM, a good video card and at least 1 TB of hard disk storage. Any computer with less capacity than this will have inadequate speed and / or storage capacity for your photo and video 3D images and will slow down the anaglyph conversion process and all of your other 3D image processings.
Also you should use a high bandwidth internet connection (as high possible) in order to expedite your image uploads to You -Tube because this is the slowest aspect of the whole conversion and display process.
Displaying 3D
Converting this camera's images to be displayed on computer screens is not as easy as it is to take them and that's one of the rubs that have prevented 3D from being more widely incorporated on the internet. Creating 3D displays is a bit involved and time consuming for the average person to do but it's an ideal project for techno-geeks like ourselves and others who are of a similar mind set.
The Fujifulm 3D camera outputs 2 kinds of photo images, a common 2D Jpeg image and a second 3D image that is in their own proprietary MPO format. Only the camera's 2D jpeg output images which are huge may be reduced in size and then displayed directly on a computer screen without further conversion. But because they are 2D images they don't accomplish our 3D purposes here, so we just mention them in passing.
Instead, we use Fujifilm's proprietary MPO photo images and its AVI 3D video images. The AVI's convert right into 3D videos. With our video editing software, the MPO's convert into 3D anaglyph photos for display within our 3D photo slideshow videos. Both of these are the 3D anaglyph images that can display in 3D on any computer screen. We upload this video editing software's output into videos within our account on You Tube and from there we embed the videos here.
So, as you can tell, there is quite a bit of work involved in doing all of these conversions but it is inexpensive and it is fairly easy to do once you work out all of the kinks of doing it. If anyone else out there wants to do a similar thing for their own geographical area just contact us and we will be happy to help you to do it. The following is a You Tube playlist of 2 videos that display techniques for best taking good in-the-screen 3D shots....

Here at Grey Havens YA, we've perfected our signature Fandoms Unite presentations. What started out as a simple trivia night to recruit book discussion members has turned into a wide range of community-building, confidence-boosting programs. These include a plethora of general trivia, captions, and videos along with more specialized programming like cosplay and theater, always with an emphasis on the fandoms we and our young adults love.
One such program that came out of our desire to provide new and exciting fandom activities is something we named Fitness for Nerds, though Fandom Fitness is also an accurate title. At Fitness for Nerds, we put our Fandom love into high energy movements and get to have a blast playing around with a "work-out" theme. It's great to get moving, and it's always hilarious!
We start off with some stretches, including stretching up and down as we shout out fandom moments that make us happy (a new Harry Potter movie is coming out!) or sad (Doctor Who is on hiatus until 2017!). After stretching, we jump into all sorts of movements as we copy our favorite characters in still, gif, or video form.
One of our favorites is "Dance Like Baby Groot" from the end of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. We just follow along with the video as Groot dances to "I Want You Back," and everyone has a fantastic time. I love when I can look completely ridiculous but not feel embarrassed at all about it because everyone else is having fun looking just as ridiculous as I am– that is the power of Fitness for Nerds!
This summer, we turned our small presentation into a two-hour long program complete with "Moisturize Me" breaks and dance music. And let me tell you, it's quite a work out! Who Knew you could geek out and exercise all at the same time? This year's Summer Reading theme is Fitness, and libraries across the nation are working hard on providing programming that fits the theme. We're excited to get to help out a few local libraries here because Fitness for Nerds is fantastic, and we know all the librarians love it. Keep reading to find out where you can join us next!
In addition to fun dance moves, we've also developed a great Fandom Yoga sequence to slow things down a bit. Moves include, but are not limited to, the AT-AT Walker, the Hungarian Horntail, Kylo Ren Face Yoga, and the Superman. Some are based in actual yoga moves and others are just plain silly.
I don't want to tell you everything, because part of the fun is the surprise of waiting to see what crazy move we're going to do next! The next chance to catch Fitness for Nerds is THIS Saturday from 2pm – 4pm at Carbon Valley Regional Library in Firestone, CO. It's FREE, and open to grades 3-12, though we welcome family members to stick around if they are so inclined (and courageous!). Please be sure to register here so the library knows how many people to expect. Dress comfortably, and most importantly, don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself and have a great time!
If you're interested in bringing Fitness for Nerds to your library or community, please Phone the TARDIS to contact us. It's always hectic here at Grey Havens, Inc, but we love bringing nerds together and it'd be great to connect with you! (If you're interested in helping us make things a little less hectic for our volunteer staff, please check out our support page.)
Send us an owl: Have you been to Fitness for Nerds? What's your favorite move?

Nope, you haven't missed a post, my LFW 'Day 1' was 'Day 2' for everyone else. I was in London for the first day, but despite travelling down to the city relatively early, I was absolutely shattered by the time I got the keys for the flat and was definitely not in the mood for going anywhere other than Victoria Station to pick up Matilda. Ok ramble over. Photo time.
Usual warnings apply for my fashion week posts, they're all ridiculously image heavy, but hey, that means lots of pretty photos to stare at! All photos were taken by me (those that aren't are to follow).
Monochromatic Lifestyle
It wouldn't be Fashion Week without playing 'spot the attendees' - a ridiculously easy game when two-thirds of the people on their way to the venues are dressed head to toe in black or white or both. But this does make for some effortlessly chic outfits (minus the 'oh god don't let me spill this' actions from those wearing white). A Fashion Week Staple.
I don't think I've ever seen a bag like this, it definitely added an interesting point to this outfit.
It's All in the Details
I mentioned that a vast majority of my photos were detail driven. Among all that black and white and block colouring, there are some gorgeous bags, hats, and shoes floating around.
I managed to catch the end of the right-outfits description. A mix of high street and vintage.
This was possibly my favourite tights/socks/shoes combination. Those navy patent Chelsea boots are absolutely stunning.

This outfit drew quite the crowd, and would you believe that fringed piece is from H&M??? I didn't either.
Fur is always going to be a controversial thing. Not keen. Super not keen. But it does make a statement, especially when you're with a group of other well-dressed boys.
photo moments
personal favourite cuties
I do like taking photos of the other fashion bloggers and photographers milling around. They may not be dressed to have photos taken of them, most are just in their everyday wear, but I still think t's nice to show them. So here are a few of my favourite fashionable 'cuties'.
Stay tuned for Day 3, 4 and what I wore. Plus my favouite catwalks for SS15 ~~

Orana Wildlife Park Volunteers – Incredible People
Since its inception, Orana Wildlife Park has been extremely fortunate to attract a wonderful variety of people eager to volunteer their skills and time. Volunteers are a key part of our operation and primarily assist in the area of visitor services (not working directly with the animals). We have a range of different programmes to suit your interests and skills, including Facilities Volunteers (maintenance assistants), Grounds Volunteers (gardening/grounds maintenance) and Visitor Services Volunteers (guiding, public presentations). In terms of Visitor Services Volunteers, we operate two volunteer programmes: Assistant Volunteers (15-17 years) and Senior Volunteers (18 and over).
Visitor Services Volunteers have a range of roles, but predominantly carry out the following:
- Operate our popular 'Safari Shuttle' service for visitors, providing transportation and a quality commentary about the Park's animals.
- Lead 'Walkabout Tours' that follow the Park's daily animal feed schedule and give visitors a chance to see the animals up close and personal, whilst also having the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the world's rare creatures.
- Gardening on our grounds.
- Sell raffle tickets and paint faces (proceeds go back into the Volunteer Programme).
- Assistant Volunteers assist our Senior Volunteers but some may be trained to help in our Farmyard.
Full training is provided. Once trained, we require volunteers to work a minimum of two days per month. Once trained, a uniform is provided and rewards are issued when milestone hours are completed.
Next Step to Becoming a Volunteer at Orana
For more information about our programme, please contact the Visitor Services Team on (03) 359 7109 extn 819 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Fostering innovation
The Antarctic Office, via The Antarctic City Strategy, fosters understanding and collaboration between Antarctic stakeholders and wider partner organisations, in order to increase the opportunities for innovation both nationally and internationally.
New Zealand has a strong history of innovation and innovators; William Pickering, Ernest Rutherford, and John Britten – to name a few – brought their technological innovations to a world stage. Today, the challenge is the development of critical technologies that support Antarctic science and give room for new partnerships and models of cooperation.
COMNAP (Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs) and SCAR (The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) have variously identified the most critical scientific questions facing the global Antarctic science community, and the need to change the way Antarctic science is undertaken.
The Antarctic Office, in collaboration with central government and industry, is developing a number of proof-of-concept projects to test the viability of commercially available technology to support Antarctic science and address the critical scientific questions of our day. It is expected that these projects will help to identify future R&D opportunities that will benefit New Zealand industry, the Antarctic science community and New Zealand's emerging innovation sector.

The toughest creature on Earth has to be the Tardigrade.These eight-legged animals can withstand extreme temperatures as hot as 300 degrees Fahrenheit and as cold as 450 degrees below zero.
They can survive the crushing pressure of the deepest ocean and the airless vacuum of outer space.
They can even endure radiation exposure 100 times too deadly for humans.
Unfortunately for them though...
...they are only about one millimeter tall.

I've held back this long despite multitudinous temptations dangled before me (I'm looking at you, @ebertchicago). Somehow I've managed to avoid late-night fan-spamming @KevinSpacey. And I can resist, so far, RT'ing the mellifluous 140-character ardor of @stephenfry.
But I suppose it was inevitable: I've been inspired to rewatch an old favorite ... by a tweet.
Yes, I looked upon the face of Twitter, and lo! there was @pattonoswalt. Which is a cool thing because I like Patton Oswalt. A lot. His new book, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, should arrive at my door any minute now [::leaves office, loops around Kai who asks "treat?", opens front door, closes front door, returns to office::] but it hasn't yet. Crap.
He's funny, he's smart, and he knows how to pair up those two things like red on Twizzlers. His geek culture backstory tracks pretty close to my own. (Oh yes, heh.) I've referenced him already in my post on The Man in the White Suit, wherein I marvel at his ability to make an offhand joke about the Alec Guinness Ealing comedies. So, yeah, I think we'd watch movies quite well together.
The tweet in question, which he typed during a Burbank outbound flight somewhere between [My 100 favorite movie moments (so far), courtesy listal.com: http://bit.ly/hWyhSm] and [Harold and Kumar Go to Hanging Rock #sinisterfilms], was this:
We have Apple TV now (did I mention that before? I hooked up Apple TV last week and, oh my, do I love living in the future of Clarke's Third Law), so I can watch Kind Hearts and Coronets and any number of movies via wifi and iTunes on the big screen, under the wrap-around speakers, a fact that fills me with merry boggle.
But I had the Criterion edition DVD right there on the second shelf down, so I slid the disc into the player all paleo-pre-2010 style. It's been years since I last watched it, which is just too long.
So hey, thanks, Patton. (Call me.)
It was Voltaire, probably, who said that if Alec Guinness did not exist it would be necessary for Ealing Studios to invent him. Guinness' career-making streak in such cracking good London-based Ealing comedies as The Lavender Hill Mob, The Man in the White Suit, and The Ladykillers began in grand fashion with 1949's elegant and cold-hearted Kind Hearts and Coronets. As a black comedy, what it does for the Edwardian England of George Bernard Shaw is what Dr. Strangelove did for the Cold War.
While playing eight members of an aristocratic family targeted for murder, Guinness apportioned his performance with more than just trying on silly wigs and makeup. No matter which member of the rarefied D'Ascoyne gene pool he played — the bank president, the doddery old parson, window-smashing suffragette Lady Agatha, a general who scoops his spoon into an IED in his caviar, foppish Young Henry, and so on — Guinness gave even the walk-ons a memorable turn.
Furthermore, a lesser performer (meaning just about anyone) would have larded up the roles into blowhard grotesqueries. As proper for a dry, wry comedy of manners and murders that's "droll" and "brittle" rather than merely "funny," there's nothing ostentatious or look-at-me! about Guinness' multiple D'Ascoynes. (Thus any comparison with Eddie Murphy and the Klumps ends before it begins.) Although today Kind Hearts and Coronets is remembered for his virtuoso showcase, Guinness himself appears to understand that he is not, after all, the film's lead.
That's Dennis Price, who more than holds his own as the most genteel and cordial of murderers. ("It is so difficult to make a neat job of killing people with whom one is not on friendly terms.") See the original poster art up there? Notice that Guinness' name appears last after Price, Valerie Hobson, and Joan Greenwood, with only vague visual clues about his now-famous eightfold tour de force.
The film opens on His Grace the tenth Duke of Chalfont (Price) penning his memoirs in prison, whiling away his final hours before his hanging. The narrative then unfolds in flashback. Until recently the current duke was, in fact, just a commoner, Louis Mazzini. Before his birth, the haughty family disowned his mother, a D'Ascoyne, for marrying an Italian opera singer, thus denying both mother and son of their heritage and birthright. After his mother dies in near poverty and is refused burial in the ancestral vault, young Louis vows to avenge her and claim the dukedom for himself via a thorough pruning of the privileged and elitist family tree. (TCM clip)
By nature every inch the English gentleman, Louis is adept at "impersonating a man of sterling character" and ingratiating himself to the heirs ahead of him (each played by Guinness). He understands that, among other "discreet requirements of twentieth century homicide," revenge is a dish best served with a quality port.
Louis' insouciant callousness gives Kind Hearts its coolly amoral humor. Lady Agatha floats high above London in a hot-air balloon to rain down Women's Rights pamphlets; Louis punctures her balloon and quips, "I shot an arrow in the air; she fell to earth in Berkeley Square." As he kills his way up the peerage, we become co-conspirators amused by such nonchalant doings-in, not to mention the sarcasm aimed at the haute-bourgeoisie in all its inbred snobberies and caste privilege.
Meanwhile, two women attract his affections.
The more marriageable is Edith D'Ascoyne (Hobson), the rigidly prim yet appealingly regal widow of one of his victims (Guinness as silly-ass Young Henry, an amateur photographer and secret imbiber). She's a right proper prig, beautiful but exuding the sexual warmth of a marble birdbath, the sort of role that could too easily be played to "frigid" or "riding crop up the ass" stereotypes. Hobson, though, quite handily makes Edith sympathetic and likable, and not just because you ache to touch her cheekbones to discover what a frictionless surface feels like. What's more, her diction would have Henry Higgins bowing down before her. In a movie saturated with impeccable elocution, Edith could enunciate local prohibition ordinances around a mouthful of poor people.
An example of the film's understated, deadpan tone comes when Louis kills Edith's husband by exploding the potting shed where Henry keeps his darkroom and illicit hootch. We aren't there up close when the shed and Henry go kablooey! Instead we're cozy with Louis and Edith sharing tea in the garden. There's a muffled whoomph! and, up from behind the hedge, a delicately rising billow of smoke. Louis notices, Edith doesn't, and neither the camera nor Louis flinches as they carry on their mundane little conversation.
|Friends with b., as Bertie Wooster might put it.
Director Robert Hamer (who co-wrote with John Dighton) didn't exhibit the fully cinematic visual talents of his Ealing colleague Alexander Mackendrick. But as a talented craftsman neither did he get in the way of the film's sophisticated charms. In our tiresome era of older films "re-imagined" with abrasive overkill, where would his finely tuned work keeping Kind Hearts low-key and straight-faced go? It's hard to imagine any new version with a cast half this good, or a cast that doesn't lean into each performance until it falls over, or doesn't add blinking exclamation points to the script's flinty one-liners (a script that assumes a certain level of literacy in the audience to boot).
Something I'd not noticed before: Just before Louis poisons the old duffer Parson by dosing his dram of wine, Guinness as the Parson says to Louis, "The port is with you." I swear it sounds like he's saying, you know, that other thing Guinness said once.
By the way, click through to the impressively compulsive Clothes on Film > Kind Hearts and Coronets: Decadent Dennis Price for the assessment that "Kind Hearts and Coronets is a tour de force of bespoke Edwardian tailoring."
"Unlike with modern period films, I can detect almost no obvious violations of Edwardian dress codes – with one exception, when Mazzini wears a frock coat with silk faced lapels to the funeral of one his victims. For funerals, frock coats should be self faced. But that is the only transgression, and a subtle one at that."There's the clincher for the pub Trivia Night contest.
On the British Film Institute's current list of best British films, Kind Hearts and Coronets ranks number 6. In 2000, readers of the U.K.'s Total Film magazine voted Kind Hearts and Coronets the 25th greatest comedy film to date. In 2004 the magazine named it the 7th greatest British film. Total Film also calls it "a reminder that, once upon a time, British cinema could match anything that came out of Hollywood." Like a voodoo curse, saying those words aloud could result in some Hollywood exec green-lighting a modern-day remake.
No surprise, then, that in 2000 word leaked out about a remake in development, with Will Smith in the Price role and Robin Williams reminding us how great Guinness was. With memories of 2004's dental-drill remake of The Ladykillers in mind, it's a relief to search online and see little evidence that Kind Hearts and Coronets' Mrs. Doubtfire treatment ever left the "let's do lunch" stage. For once, let's leave perfection alone.
A word about Criterion's two-disc DVD edition while we're here. It's the way to go if you're aiming for the full-on movie buff exposure.
This restored transfer from a 35mm composite fine-grain master yields a flawless print. The clean black-and-white image is sharper and brighter than Anchor Bay's previous disc, with improved black tones and grayscale. The DD 1.0 audio track is clean, but it's a bit harsh or muddy in spots (presumably from the original audio source track). In the first scene, turning on the English subtitles revealed that the executioner boasts that even his mentor "never had the privilege of hanging a duke" instead of "never had the privilege of hanging a Jew."
Typically, Criterion's extras are worth the getting all by themselves. Here that means the BBC's 1986 documentary, Made In Ealing: The Story of Ealing Studios (75 mins.), with film clips and interviews with Joan Greenwood, Alexander Mackendrick, and others for a thorough and engaging history of the venerable film factory.
In 1977, the interview-shy Guinness appeared on Michael Parkinson's BBC chat show, and we get that entire 68-minute episode with Sir Alec at his charming best; among his anecdotes is a spooky forewarning encounter with James Dean and Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder days before the American actor's death in the car.
Also here are the Code-appeasing American ending, the original theatrical trailer, a vast click-through gallery of production and publicity photos, and a liner notes booklet with an essay by film critic and scholar Philip Kemp.

Excerpt from the book
Finding Your Soul in the Spirituality Maze:
"Psychics often tune into one possibility without realizing that the future consists of a variety of different possibilities. In Yarbro's Michael books, Michael never makes predictions but always couches the future in terms of different possibilities. The latest world prediction in Michael for the Millennium has nine scenarios for the world, most of which Michael suggests will be rather unpleasant. Michael does not pander to his audience."

Journal Article
MetadataShow full item record
Remote data acquisition (RDAQ) is required in a number of vibration and noise measurement settings. Specialised systems exist for RDAQ, however they require significant investment to set up. This paper describes a low cost method of RDAQ which utilises a laptop computer, data acquisition system and a USB internet dongle. The system described in this paper would allow a professional vibration/noise measurement specialist to modify their existing data acquisition system for remote use with minimal cost. The system was tested both in an industrial and an academic setting for verification.
