Tired, weary eyes
Seen enough to rest forever
Time yet short spent
Longer bleak years yet to face
Do loaded ears hear?
So, float in ecstasy, Eldorado
Hard long labor of the past punish
Reality of failed plans torment
Roads known from old vanished
How will the song be sung?
The vulture has berthed
Copious carcasses waiting to be carted
Shells emptied and drained
Served on Nigerian high rock
Did you ask the legs to run?
Acumen and sanity served for desert
Whereas the ancestors and I bestowed the 'Offor'
Authority to lead, serve and control
The mace now breaks the people's skulls
Where will I find the hat to think?
Land of Utopia!

Firefighters get hot, but they may be the coolest heroes out there. Not only do these brave people save other people's lives, but they need to do math to face the danger. When we at Bedtime Math talked to firefighter Joe Spych, he told us a secret about fire hydrants: the color tells you how fast they pump water. In one set of towns, a red cap color means the hydrant pumps less than 500 gallons per minute (GPM), orange means between 500-999 GPM, green means 1000-1499 GPM, and blue gushes out 1500 GPM or more. This matters because you need a gallon of water to put out every 3 square feet that's on fire. By the way, a hose spraying 300 gallons of water a minute can fill about 8 bathtubs at once! But let's see how much fire it can put out.
Wee ones: Plug your sink, then turn on the water and count to 10. Turn it off. Is the sink a little full, halfway full, or mostly full?
Little kids: If a fire truck has 5 "attack lines" (hoses) and you hook on 1 more, how many lines does it have now? Bonus: Which pumps water faster, a red hydrant at 90 gallons per minute, or an orange hydrant at 600 gallons per minute?
Big kids: If a rug that's 10 feet wide and 9 feet long is on fire, how many square feet is that? (Imagine 10 rows of 1-foot-wide squares, with 9 squares in each row.) Bonus: If a gallon of water can put out 3 square feet of fire, how many gallons do you need to put out that fire?
Wee ones: Most sinks will be only a little bit full, but yours might be different!
Little kids: 6 attack lines. Bonus: The orange hydrant pumps faster.
Big kids: 90 square feet. Bonus: 30 gallons, which is almost 1 bathtub of water!

Meet Helen and Sonja
GreenCare recently launched a series called, 'Ask Sonja & Helen', as a way to answer questions about recycling at Lower Mainland hospitals and residential care sites. We sat down with Helen and Sonja to find out who they are, what is unique about the Recycling Renewal Program and what the 'Ask Sonja & Helen' series hopes to achieve.
Q. Who are you and what do you do with GreenCare?
Helen –I'm the Recycling and Sustainability Coordinator for Fraser Health. Most of my work centers on implementing the Recycling Renewal Program into new sites. This includes putting bins out where they're needed and leading staff trainings so everyone knows what goes in each.
Sonja –I'm also a Recycling and Sustainability Coordinator but for VCH, PHC and PHSA. Hospitals and residential care sites in these health organizations already have the Recycling Renewal Program, so now I look at ways to reduce contamination in these bins. I do this by ensuring that everyone has updated equipment and signage, running training sessions for health care staff and creating educational resources.
Q. What is the 'Ask Helen & Sonja' segment trying to achieve?
H - We are giving people an opportunity to ask questions. Recycling is a topic that often comes with a lot of questions about the correct ways to dispose of waste. The segment is also useful for flagging items that are a problem or confusing – even if no one has asked us directly. It is a useful tool for providing bite-sized information, which folks can remember and take back to their workplace.
S – It also provides the 'why?' As soon as health care staff understand why they need to care about where they drop their recyclables, we tend to see better results.
Q. Why is recycling so important in health care facilities?
H – We're all becoming more aware of how environmental issues aren't really just environmental issues, they're issues that touch on everything. There is no dividing line between something that impacts the environment and something that impacts our health. Recycling is a good way of keeping waste out of landfills and incinerators, which have potential health impacts, such as ground leachate or particulates and air pollution from incineration. In healthcare, I think it is important that we practice what we preach – not only curing people and looking after the sick, also preventing and stopping people from getting sick in the first place. One way we can do that is to look after our natural environment.
Q. What makes health care's recycling program unique or challenging?
S – Recycling in hospitals is not the same as recycling at home. Health care staff need to learn to approach recycling differently at work, as there are higher contamination risks associated with medical waste.
Initially, when we launched the recycling program, we had a lot of contamination, as staff thought they could recycle more than they can. For example, a nurse might not have used a plastic medical item, for example a urinal, therefore thinking it could be recycled. Unfortunately, when an item that might have come into contact with bodily fluids, chemicals or medicine makes its way to a recycling vendor, alarm bells are raised. Items are hand sorted on a conveyor belt. The staff sorting the recycling don't know what that item has been in contact with and if it was something that could potentially harm them.
In health care, we need to think of that person sorting the waste. Our recycling Q's help clarify the correct way of doing this.
Q. You have been working with GreenCare's Recycling Renewal Program for quite some time. Do you have any stories to share?
S – I am always surprised and impressed when I arrive at a site to implement and recruit recycling champions and I meet people that have already started recycling on their own. Often, these champions have been taking recycling home, encouraging their coworkers, and creating signage with information on what goes into each bin. It is inspiring when I find staff that care about the importance of recycling in connection to health and the environment. A nurse recently said, "It helps us think about the amount of supplies we use with patients, so we reduce that waste and have higher moral because we are doing something good." It is really the people that we work with who care and are making an extra effort to monitor bins and educate their fellow staff.
Q. What type of questions would you like to hear from the GreenCare community?
H – Anything that people are just not sure about. I feel like there are bound to be items that people are not 100% certain about. What are people actually throwing away? We can talk about coffee cups but in the lab, you don't have a coffee cup, you have other stuff. And it is that other stuff that we want to know about.
S – At the end of our articles, we always say send us your stories, too. So it doesn't have to be a question, it can actually be something that is working well. We'd love to share that, as often that inspires others.
Q. Anything else you would like to share with staff from across the LMHOs?
S – The Recycling Renewal Program's success is due to the dedicated efforts of staff from across the Lower Mainland Health Organizations. We are appreciative of the coordinated efforts of staff, and hope that we can better support these efforts moving forward. In a recent survey, health care staff identified recycling as the top action they could commit to, noting that the best thing we can do for the environment is separate our waste correctly. In the end, it is not just for the environment but also for patient care. We are making efforts to strengthen the program and to ensure that we don't pay more for waste than we need to. Staff participation is paramount to these efforts.
Recycling correctly is also vital for the health and safety of everyone who handles waste along the way – whether it is the housekeepers at the hospital or the recycling staff at the vendor. There are many reasons why correct disposal is the way to go.
We look forward to answering any questions and making it easier for staff to dispose of their recyclables.

Gardens are what make a house beautiful. You can tell if a garden is beautiful or not by the way it is kept. Yes, your garden can make all the difference so it is important to take good care of it.
Gardens are that make a home beautiful. It is possible to tell whether a garden is beautiful or not from how it's kept. Your backyard can make your home look ugly or beautiful. A well-kept garden increases the attractiveness of a home while a badly maintained garden takes the attractiveness of a home.
Lots of plain and simple homes have appeared magnificent by the accession of a well-kept backyard. Yes, your backyard can make all of the difference so it's necessary to take decent care of it. It isn't simply the flowers and bushes in the backyard that matter. It's your backyard patio furniture which also adds to its glamorous appearance.
Artistic Garden Patio Ideas Make Your Home Outdoor Like Paradise
The garden needs to be a location that seems beautiful and inviting constantly. The backyard patio furniture needs to be the sort which lets you unwind and kick back your legs or makes you curious enough to want to come back and spend some time out in the backyard. The flowers must be bright and vibrant and provide you the sweet flavor of nature's beauty.
If you're thinking, I can't invest money decorating a backyard with expensive patio furniture, do not worry, you don't need cash to get it done. Your garden may look amazing without you having to shell out a lot of cash on it. In reality, who states that money is the thing that makes a backyard or another room seem pretty?
While backyard patio furniture can be found in any furniture store, you don't have to go get new places. You may create your own patio furniture; it'll be fun also. Simply tap in your creative side and develop ideas for creating your garden a comfortable place to spend your day or evening in. Rather than purchasing garden stools or chairs, you may use a tree stump for a garden feces.
It's possible to earn a coffee table out of a big, old, thick rock. You are able to use logs to produce benches, you may use ropes, and hammocks to produce swings etc., as you can see, you do not actually need money for all these items. If you think hard and long, you'll have the ability to produce things which you may use as parts of furniture on your own garden. With your imagination, you'll have the ability to turn your backyard into a location that differs from other gardens. Therefore don't be concerned about not needing money to purchase patio furniture, create your own furniture.

Comparison of Laminate, Solid and Engineered Wood Floors
Today is all about compare and contrast. We will list the pros and cons of laminate, solid hardwood flooring and engineered wood flooring. So if you were unsure of what to choose for your next installation, hopefully this guide will help weigh your options.
Pros and Cons of Laminate Flooring
- Easy to maintain and very scratch resistant.
- Works very well in humid environments, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and basements.
- Cheaper end of the flooring spectrum.
- Very easy flooring to install and replace.
- Does not last as long as hardwood flooring in your home.
- Can be slippery when it is wet.
- Cannot be sanded or refinished like hardwood flooring.
- It can scuff easily.
Pros and Cons of Solid Hardwood Flooring
- Can last the life of your home without being replaced.
- Very durable.
- Many natural options to choose from in specie, texture and color.
- Can be sanded, re-sanded and refinished many times.
- Cannot be installed in high humidity areas of the home because of seasonal shrinking and swelling.
- More expensive than most other flooring options.
- Installation requires nailing to the sub-flooring, making it a more difficult installation to perform DIY. Professional installation is recommended.
Pros and Cons of Engineered Wood Flooring
- Engineered wood is in between laminate and solid hardwood flooring on the moisture protection level, but it is a definite candidate for bathrooms, kitchens and basements.
- Engineered flooring is less expensive than solid hardwood flooring.
- Dimensionally speaking, more stable than solid hardwood flooring due to its cross ply construction.
- Will only handle being refinished once or twice depending on how much sanding is needed.
- Bad scratches will result in replacing the individual planks as sanding and refinishing will not work.

Two women are dead and 17 people are injured after a balcony collapsed during a Christmas party at a house in Melbourne.
It is believed more than 30 people were on the balcony at the Doncaster East house when it collapsed on Saturday night, trapping several people underneath.
A 59-year-old Croydon woman died at the scene while a Reservoir woman, 37, died in hospital on Sunday morning.
It was a chaotic scene as a dozen ambulances and emergency vehicles raced to the property to treat the injured partygoers, Ambulance Victoria's state health commander Paul Holman said.
Ten women and seven men, aged between 20 and 69, were taken to hospitals with soft tissue injuries, fractures and lacerations.
About a dozen people were treated by paramedics at the scene at Balinga Court but did not require hospitalisation.
"This is a very tragic incident for those involved and our thoughts are with them and their loved ones at this time," Mr Holman said.
Firefighters helped to rescue people who were trapped under the collapsed balcony, an MFB spokeswoman said.
Police are investigating the collapse and will prepare a report for the coroner.

Peter Strickland is one of my favourite directors at the moment, and basically I will watch anything he makes. He used an inheritance to make Katalin Varga, a fascinating little 2009 film in which a woman confronts the abusers of her past. It's set in Romanian speaking Hungary and filmed in that language. But it was with Berberian Sound Studio that he really broke through. This magnificent film starred Toby Jones as a sound recordist who travels to Italy to work on the sound effects for a giallo horror film. He's used to working on more refined fare. He finds the whole ordeal profoundly affecting.
In Berberian Sound Studio, we never get to see beyond the opening credits of the giallo film that's being dubbed. But it's clear from what we do see that Strickland has the tone of those films – especially those from the mid-seventies – off pat. With The Duke of Burgundy he's essentially made a full film mimicking another type of seventies film – the European sexploitation film.
This is obvious even from the font used in posters for The Duke of Burgundy. And you know you're going to get a full film of this from the opening credits. From the freeze frames, crossfades and graphical treatment, to the copyright notice on the title slide. As others have mentioned, there's even a credit for "Perfume by 'Je suis Gizella.'"
I'm not a butterfly specialist, but I suspect that lepidopterists will recognise that The Duke of Burgundy is actually a species of butterfly. Because in the central European dream-world we find ourselves, nobody seems to be interested in anything apart from butterflies and moths.
We open with Chiara d'Anna's Evelyn, cycling through the forest to a rather grand and beautiful old house in a village deep in the mountains. She seems to be the maid for Sidse Babbett Knudsen's Cynthia – a particularly strict mistress who inspects Evelyn's work and is critical of it. The setting could be any time from the late sixties to the present day – there's little technology beyond a typewriter and gramophone in evidence.
Slowly we realise that everything isn't quite as it seems. Evelyn is playing a role, and is actually Cynthia's lover. They live together in this big house, but enjoy roleplay and BDSM, with perhaps Cynthia being into a little more than Evelyn. She leaves her lover little cards which detail instructions. What orders she should give; how long she should be kept waiting.
At other times, they're just a loving couple. There's no obvious work that any of them do. Mostly they seem to just travel into town where the institute allows them to study in detail butterflies and moths. They take it in turns with other women – and only women – to give illustrated talks.
Their love for one another is real, and although we come to realise that the roleplay can get in the way – a bad back can get in the way, and a nice pair of pyjamas and a back rub is probably more comfortable than lingerie.
Their proclivities are also treated as very normal. There's a wonderful scene where "The Carpenter" arrives to help specify a particular type of bed. Evelyn is distraught when she realises she's not going to get said bed for her birthday because "The Carpenter's" skills are so much in demand, there's an eight week wait – everyone wants a bed you can lock your lover into. A possible alternative offered is of less appeal to Cynthia…
So sensuous, but also funny. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments.
And there are plenty of oddities. Why are there mannequins sitting in the audience of the butterflies lectures? Who is the woman who Cynthia and Evelyn cheerily shout hello to, but who never responds?
The cinematography from Nic Knowland is exquisite; the film has that deep, slightly over-saturated feel of films from the period. And the sets are beautifully detailed. I remember when I saw Berberian Sound Studio at the Curzon Soho, they had an exhibition of props and designs from that film. The detail as extraordinary. That's no less true for this film – and you have to anticipate that Strickland is working on a limited budget. I noticed that the credits also listed an entomologist – I assume to help dress Cynthia's study where dozens of butterflies lie behind glass cases.
The soundtrack from Cat's Eyes is terrific. I instantly when and downloaded it after seeing the film. It has a soft-folk sensibility and catches the mood and feel of the film perfectly (I believe they're on Jonny Trunk's OST show for Resonance FM, so I'll be checking out Mixcloud for that when it's up).
And Strickland loves sound. Sound is really important throughout this film. The effects – and I suspect that there was a good deal of foley work to give a true representation of that heightened sound that redubbing all the sound gives you. But more than that, we get extended sequences where we hear the birds and trees that surround our characters. And the characters listen to recordings of butterflies and moths. We know that these are accurate recordings because the credits reveal – in unprecedented detail – what animals we heard, where the recording was made, the recording machine and microphones used.
In 1999 Channel 4 ran a fascinating series in the middle of the night called Eurotica that covered many of the films that are referenced here. Anyone who's familiar with any of those films, will recognise what Strickland has done here. But he's made something more intelligent. This isn't just for titillation. Indeed, if that's what you're looking for, then you'll be disappointed. The only people who are close to doing similar things to Strickland are Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani who have made Amer and The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears, but they're knowingly obtuse and stylised to such an extent that their films become barely watchable (they're more something a trendy bar would have running on a screen somewhere).
I suspect – hope really – that you'll know if you'd like this film. And if so, go and see it. I loved it.[While the film is only likely to get a limited release, it's getting one of those interesting On Demand releases too. So you can watch it via iTunes, Sky Store (I had to search to find it there), Google Play and Curzon On Demand amongst others. And it'll be on DVD/BluRay within a month or so.]

Jason and Amanda were stressed to their eyeballs about money!
You see, they had bought a few properties – and they were costing him a fortune to hold.
Jason's solution to that was to work more hours in his trade business…
But that put extra pressure on his family – because he was always out on the road.
Then they met Nhan Nguyen and told him they had to find a way of the hole.
Because their whole life was consumed by financial worries.
Here's what they did next with Nhan's guidance.
They bought 5 parcels of land and got development approval for a 34 townhouse development.
Initially, Jason wanted to develop the project himself.
But Nhan said "Look, you and your wife are stressed out of your brain, why don't you sell the development site and make a quick, juicy profit and then move on from there."
So they did.
They sold the site for $3.2 million and made a cool $1.3 million!
Since then they say their life has never been the same.
Their money worries are over and they are finally enjoying their lives.
Well done Jason and Amanda. Now, what would be possible for you if you learnt how the 'fast track' way of making money in real estate?

Best places to photograph in Lofoten, Northern Norway
16 November 2019, by Oana Badiu
Lofoten Islands are a photographer's heaven, with epic mountains, unique fishing villages and rich wildlife! Here are the best places to photograph in Lofoten!
12 October 2019, by Oana Badiu
Reinebringen height: 448 m
Reinebringen trail difficulty: Medium
Reinebringen trail hike: 1 km
Reinebringen trail time: 2 - 3 h
Reinebringen hiking trail is situated close to the beautiful fishing village of Reine, so you can reserve at least half a day to visit Reine and to hike to Reinebringen.
Reinebringen peak is only 448 m high, but it offers amazing views towards Reinefjorden and the villages of Hamnøy, Sakrisøy and Reine. Reinefjorden is the most spectacular fjord in Lofoten and Reinebringen viewpoint is the most famous spot to photograph!
Check the map below for available parking places where you can leave your car in order to get to the Reinebringen trail head. We had really good luck and managed to get our car parked in the closest parking place, where there is a gorgeous view of Reine.
From this parking lot there is a trail next to the road that leads to Reinebringen trail head. Here is a map below of the actual hiking trail.
Reinebringen was on my wish list for a very long time, however I almost didn't dare to hike on it. While hiking in Norway I realised that I have a slight fear of heights, which I didn't really know I had. I have hiked to other steep places in other countries, but everywhere I have been before there were safety fences around, so the possibility of falling was very slim.
In Norway the nature is very raw, so there are no fences and all the mountains are as natural as possible. The other hiking trails I have tried during my trip to Lofoten were in not such a good condition, quite slippery ground and not that many stones in order to get a good grip. I have tried other "easy" paths before and they turned out not be that easy for me, however I am not the best hiker out there. I haven't ever lived close to mountains, so I usually don't do that much of hiking.
I have read a lot about Reinebringen and the posts I read didn't sound very good to me. Everyone was saying that this is a very steep hike, very difficult, very slippery and that there are a lot of inexperienced tourists (probably like myself) that go on this hike and put others in danger by dislodging rocks. I have also read that it is a very touristic place and I am not a big fan of crowds, especially on top of a mountain, without any safety fences. Reinebringen has claimed 4 lives until now, so I got a bit scared of this hike.
I have visited Lofoten in mid August 2019, so there weren't that many tourists. I have also read that the new sherpa steps were now open and the hike has become much safer and easier. I read that someone dies in almost all the places that I visit, so in the end, I decided to try it out. If I see that it's not for me, I can just turn back. I know that I would have been very angry with myself if I wouldn't have tried to get the most famous picture in Lofoten.
The sherpa steps were build by sherpas coming all the way from Nepal and they are not yet fully complete. Currently there are 1 560 steps that end at about 400 m altitude. For the last 50 m or so you'll need to hike on the old trail. The steps are really easy to climb, but imagine that this is 1 km of steps, so it does take some energy out of you. How long you'll spend on Reinebringen trail really depends on your level of fitness. There are places to rest and you can take your time climbing up. I consider myself in a good physical condition, so the climb up was not so excruciating. I have seen also old people with sticks on this trail, so I guess it is possible for everyone to climb Reinebringen.
When the steps end you can get a sense of how dangerous and difficult this hike would have been without the sherpa steps. There is a lot of dirt, not that many rocks and not that much grass to get a good grip. This hike is so popular that the hiking trail on this part is not in a good condition and has been worn out. It is quite easy to go up because you don't see how steep it actually is.
When I got to the viewpoint I almost got a panic attack! It is a straight vertical drop, without anything to hold you! Luckily there was a natural shelter made of rocks very close, so I just took most of the pictures from there.
After the first viewpoint there is still a bit of hiking to be done to get to the actual top, however I was too scared to go further, so I decided to stay here. If you have fear of heights, Reinebringen might not be a good place for you.
After taking a few pictures we decided to go down. Now this is more problematic for me than going up because I am so scared of losing my balance and I can also see how steep this is. I went down until the steps on my butt and I found even this to be difficult, however I was the only one going on my butt, so this puts things in perspective :)
I was very happy when I reached the steps, but it was still a bit difficult because I could see how steep this was. My legs were feeling like jelly.
Even if a bit scary, I don't regret doing this hike and I feel very happy that I managed to face some of my fears and try it out! The views from Reinebringen deserve all the publicity and they are truly beautiful! I would recommend going in the evening, when the crowds are gone.

As much as you prepare for it and lay the groundwork, when you are actually in transition between what you used to do and the thing you finally had to do, before it was too late, you find that there is still a lot that remains to be done that you didn't complete before taking the plunge. I am happy that the preparations I made are paying off, but it's never enough. You always feel you could have prepared more.
In the first place, you need to build up your portfolio. In music production, that takes about eight hours of effort per finished minute of music, unless you want to make it more elaborate and intricate, artistically, where the time taken can increase. I keep that as a rule of thumb and try to stick to it, so that I maintain a steady work pace but don't cut corners. Even so, finishing 75 minutes worth of music to make a decent CD's worth of releasable art is going to take the best part of three months. That's if there are no distractions and you can maintain the pace, having started from standing.
At some time, what you put aside to allow you to make this attempt will run out and you have to get some kind of income to keep body and soul, house and home, family and life together. Ideally, you would do that with your end products, but finding an audience and marketing your works also takes time and effort.
It has been an interesting experiment for me to write two blogs, over the past four years. One blog was about the stuff I used to do – invention and innovation in a technical sense. I wrote nearly one hundred articles, pouring in what I thought was my best information and promoted it the same way as the other blog – via social media. It barely gets read. I'm lucky if I get ten visitors per day to that blog site.
On the art related blog that I also write (this one), I have over five hundred articles. This blog has a readership that built steadily, to about eighty views a day. Benchmarking that against other people's blogs on different subject matter, though, it's clear that people are not very interested in this subject matter, compared to say dating and divorce, for example.
So the comparison between the two blogs tells me people are more interested in my artistic outpourings than in my ability to create new technological things, but whether the income will follow remains unknown. So far, it has not. Compared to other blogs, my blog stats tell me that people just aren't that interested in either of the things I do. They aren't too concerned with my art and less so with my inventive capabilities, it seems. It is interesting data, but I can't extrapolate too far from it, either, given its limitations.
I made this transition because I got to a point where I just simply couldn't stand to not pursue what I loved doing best. However, I have to build networks of collaborators, appreciators, competitors, suppliers, distributors – all the stuff that accumulates over the course of a career – from scratch, pretty much. The terrifying thing is that it's a race against time.
That said, I find that the work I produce is of a standard I can be proud of and the more I make, the better I get. I can already find my way around the tools and get them to behave. There just isn't enough finished product yet, which means promoting and selling it is somewhat premature. No point in working on a web site to showcase it, when there is next to nothing to offer. So far, all I have done is asked for lovely comments from kind friends. Even some of them have been a little uncertain about how to react to my work. I still have no idea if the work will find a significant audience or not. There isn't enough work completed to tell and not enough people sampled to get a consensus.
I one sense, the transition seems to be a reckless move, but in other ways, it feels like the only thing I could have done. I couldn't keep ignoring this side of my creative self. It was costing me too much. Having set off in this new direction, however, I realise I have such a long way to go and running at full pace will not get me to the destination. I'll stumble and fall, exhausted, before I get there. Instead, I have to maintain a steady pace and make consistent progress, without burning out.
It all feels so risky and uncertain. Hopefully, that's a sign that it's worth doing. Fending off utter disaster while I get to the place I hope I am going will be the biggest challenge. Keeping my head together while I walk this tightrope is the second biggest.
If it were as easy as just deciding to make music, one day and everything falling magically into place, then I suppose everybody would do it. I know that this is the right thing to be doing, because I feel right when I am doing it. I like the work. I enjoy doing it. I feel satisfaction with the results, even when I can still see the flaws. Each thing I make stimulates ideas about the next thing and the thing after that. It still feels limitless and unexplored. I haven't yet exposed all the music that currently lives only in my head. It will take time to bring that into other people's realities. The next challenge will be to get other people to care. That might not be as easy or comfortable. Or it might be ridiculously easy. I can't tell which, at this time.
I just hope that circumstances don't curtail my efforts in the mean time. That would be very mean of time.

The word "chronometer" has been around, as far as anyone can tell, since the early 18th century, when an Englishman named Jeremy Thacker used it in 1714 to describe a clock he claimed to have designed and built to aid in calculating the longitude of ships at sea. There were any number of competing solutions to the longitude problem at the time (ranging from the reasonably sensible to the extremely implausible, such as one that would have had a ship's dog howl at noon in sympathy with a wounded dog on shore) and Thacker wanted to distinguish his clock from others, writing, "The PHONOMETERS, PYROMETERS. SELONOMETERS, HELIOMETERS and all the METERS are not worthy to be compared with my CHRONOMETER." The term thus began as a marketing tool, although it gradually evolved to mean a specific type of escapement.
For much of the history of watchmaking, "chronometer" meant a watch with a chronometer escapement, or detent escapement. Unlike the lever escapement, the detent escapement requires no oil at the impulse surfaces (the places where energy is actually delivered to the balance) and is more efficient, as impulse is given to the balance directly by the escape wheel rather than through a lever. It's an ideal escapement for a precision ship's clock, where a pendulum would be obviously unsuitable, and it is only the fact that it's very sensitive to physical shocks that kept it from being more universally adopted in watches.
Though there were many pocket watches made with detent escapements (the greatest names in classical watchmaking developed and refined the detent escapement, such as Le Roy, Berthoud, Arnold, Earnshaw and Breguet, and its principles are still considered the gold standard in escapement design today) the tendency of the chronometer escapement to unlock accidentally if jolted has largely discouraged wristwatch manufacturers from using it.
The word, however, acquired considerable prestige, and gradually came to refer to any high-precision watch (though you'll still find old-school horological purists who insist it's incorrect to call any watch that doesn't have a detent escapement a chronometer). The word today has a specific meaning defined by the international standard ISO 3159, which among other things defines the minimum criteria for performance for a watch to be deemed a chronometer. This includes a mean daily rate (as measured against a standard clock) of -4/+6 seconds per day, and a daily variation in rate of no more than two seconds per day. Though in theory, any suitably equipped third-party laboratory can certify chronometers, today, the vast majority is certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officielle Suisse de Chronomètres) with some also certified by the Glashütte Observatory, and the observatory at Besançon.
Additionally, a common pitfall that can be easily avoided is the confusion between a chronometer and a chronograph. The latter is a timepiece with timekeeping and stopwatch functions. The key to this lies in the Greek roots of the term — "chronos", referring to time, and "graphein", meaning to write. The earliest chronographs used drops of ink on revolving discs to mark off elapsed periods during timed events, hence literally "writing time". Essential to the functionality of a chronograph is exacting levels of precision, which is why a well-made chronograph will frequently also carry chronometer certification. However, it's immediately obvious that not all chronometers are chronographs — and vice versa.
In 2010, the three brands that certified the most chronometers were Rolex, Omega and Breitling.

Advocacy groups and others should lay off the astroturf and outright plagiarism unless they want to discredit themselves and their causes.
If you liked University of Florida student Brandon Scott's column last Sunday about the national debt, you also should enjoy columns by Dartmouth College student Thomas Wang and University of Wisconsin student Jennifer Pavelec on the issue.
After all, they're the same columns.
The identical columns ran last weekend in newspapers in New Hampshire and Wisconsin. They each included the same first-person passage describing the student's work with the Campaign to Fix the Debt and its "millennial arm," The Can Kicks Back.
After I was told last week about the column appearing under the byline of different writers in other publications, it was removed from The Sun's website. Staff with the Campaign to Fix the Debt, who sent out the columns, said they were templates that were supposed to be personalized or otherwise reworded.
The campaign's vice president of communications, John Romano, said Scott �— an intern with the group — was not at fault.
"This was an inadvertent mistake and the campaign takes full responsibility for it," he said.
The Campaign to Fix the Debt bills itself as "a non-partisan movement to put America on a better fiscal and economic path." It was founded by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, who previously chaired a national deficit-reduction commission.
The Nation magazine, working with progressive watchdog group the Center for Media and Democracy, published a series on the campaign in March. It reported that the group was actually "the latest incarnation of Wall Street mogul Pete Peterson's long campaign to get Congress and the White House to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid while providing tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy."
Romano suggested that was propaganda to discredit the group, but the Washington Post's Wonkblog reported that Peterson had in fact donated $5 million to the campaign.
The Center for Media and Democracy's Mary Bottari wrote on the Huffington Post that The Can Kicks Back was an attempt to make it seem like college students are energized by the debt issue. Its efforts include paying students $65 to participate in a flash mob for deficit reduction, she wrote.
These efforts are called "astroturf" because they only appear to grassroots. When it comes to columns and letters, The Sun's policy is not to publish astroturf pieces written by advocacy groups and only signed by supporters. The folks who keep submitting letters written by vegetarian groups should reword them or stop trying.
While I wouldn't refer to those letters or the debt column as textbook plagiarism, they are people passing the writing of others as their own. It's been a bad period for that problem: Sen. Rand Paul has faced criticism for lifting material from Wikipedia and other sources. I recently ran an online-only column on Common Core from a local tea party member that I took down after finding it copied passages from other sources.
The Internet makes it easier to take material from others but also makes it easier to discover when it happens. Advocacy groups and others should lay off the astroturf and outright plagiarism unless they want to discredit themselves and their causes.

Microgreens have been around for quite some time now. You can find them in some health food stores and specialty farmers markets and even in large supermarkets where they have recently become available. Microgreens are known to pack large varieties of flavor in small quantities and as a result, they are very popular.
Another reason why most people love microgreens is that one can easily incorporate them into their dish. You can either mix several microgreens to come up with a delicately textured and flavored salad. You can also choose to use a few microgreens, maybe one or two to give your plate a final touch.
In addition to being rich in strong flavors, microgreens are known for their great health benefits.

What is the History of Microgreens?
What are microgreens? Well, there is still quite a number of people who are yet to hear about microgreens. The reason for this is because Microgreens haven't been around for a very long period of time. Microgreens originated from San Francisco in the '80s when they started appearing on chefs' menus. However, it wasn't until the 90's that they gained popularity. The word "Microgreen" was first used in 1998.
Its popularity then began to spread East and now microgreens are grown all over the United States and even in many other countries. Today, there are several varieties of microgreens that are grown. However, the first varieties to be grown included beets, arugula, basil, kale, and cilantro. The number of microgreen varieties being grown today has increased and continues to do so.
Some of these microgreen varieties include broccoli, mizuna, pak choi, purple cabbage, and mustard. It was around 2010 that microgreens gained popularity in the food world. Around this period, microgreens began appearing at most grocery stores around the world. Food enthusiasts alike now had the chance to try something new and enjoy these microgreens at home.
In 2012, microgreens finally got the boost they needed to become mainstay food in people's diet. Researchers in the US finally got interested in microgreens and did some research on the nutritional make-up of microgreens and their shelf life. The researchers tested over 25 varieties of microgreens.
This research made microgreens gain the attention of most media outlets like the Huffington Post and the National Public Radio. Soon, everyone became interested in the newly discovered high nutritional values that microgreens had. The only shortcomings that microgreens have are their shorter shelf life.
However, researchers continue to come up with ways they can extend their shelf life. One of such ways is by optimizing microgreen packaging and increasing their exposure to light.
So, What Are Microgreens?
You must have been to a restaurant and must have come across these little greens stylishly topping your dish as a salad. They are what are known as microgreens. They are now available in every café as a result of their huge popularity. Many chefs have actually incorporated microgreens into their dishes.
These tiny and edible greens that grow from vegetables and herbs seeds pack a nutritional punch and are absolutely delicious. Since their introduction, the varieties of microgreens have grown immensely. Today there are over 25 varieties of microgreens. Apart from their nutrition, microgreens also give dishes necessary pop due to their visual appeal that is as a result of their delicateness and vibrancy.
Microgreens are baby green vegetables that are normally harvested immediately after sprouting. They are usually harvested around 7 to 14 days when they are about 1 to 3 inches tall. Microgreens are primarily used in enhancing the attractiveness and taste of dishes in finer dining restaurants.
Growing and Harvesting Microgreens
Microgreens can be grown on soil or any other soil substitute. They require sunlight for optimal growth and are usually harvested before they are 14 days old. Microgreens are usually added to salads or used to garnish sandwiches and soups. You can also use them to make juices and smoothies.
Since microgreens are usually harvested before they grow to their full potential, they are about 1 to 3 inches tall. Many people love them because they grow very fast and can be grown throughout the year.
Cultivating them is not also expensive. You can even grow them on your apartment's sunny windowsill. The health benefits that these tasty, miniature greens have are greater than those that their fully-grown carbon parents have. Even the best things can come in smaller packages and this is true with microgreens.
Harvesting them when they are smaller gives them a nutritional character that is potent and an intense flavor
Difference between Microgreens, Sprouts and Baby Greens
This world of herbs and small leafy vegetables can be quite confusing to most people. You may wonder what the difference is between microgreens, sprouts and baby greens. Let us review them for you so that you can understand them better.
Sprouts germinate from seeds and are grown in the dark or water without a growing medium like soil. To grow sprouts, seeds are inserted inside containers which are then closed. Due to the high levels of humidity in such an enclosed environment, the seeds usually germinate quickly. The sprout is then eaten within the first 48 hours. The sprout is usually composed of underdeveloped leaves, stem, root and the seed, all of which are eaten.
Once a sprout grows its first leaves, known as the cotyledons, the cotyledon stage gets underway. This stage starts at around day 5. The cotyledon leaves are not always the same as the plant's true leaves and are shed once photosynthesis starts to take place. As the plant continues to develop, it enters the microgreen stage. During this stage, the characteristics of every plant begin to show.
For microgreens to grow, they require nutrients, light, and a growing medium. Microgreens are usually harvested between day 7 to day 14. In other words, they are seedlings harvested before they can grow and become larger plants.
Baby greens are similar to microgreens in that they are also young seedlings. They also require nutrients, a growing medium and light to thrive. However, baby greens are a bit older as compared to microgreens.
They are usually harvested between 20 to 40 days after they have germinated. This means that they have a longer growth cycle than microgreens and sprouts. By the time they are harvested, they have developed several sets of true leaves.
Different Types of Microgreens and How to Grow Them
There are so many varieties of microgreens, ranging from vegetables to herbs. Here are some of the most popular types of microgreens and how you can grow them.
This is a delicate microgreen which performs better in warmer conditions with indirect light. Amaranth seeds can grow in soil and even hydroponically. Amaranth is usually tiny and thin and contains strong flavor. However, its flavor is far less spicy as compared to that of mustard. It can serve as a great addition to any salad due to its striking colors.
Amaranth seeds take between 2 to 3 days to germinate. You don't have to pre-soak their seeds before you grow them. Once the seeds have sprouted, they are harvested when they are between 8 to 12 days old.
Arugula belongs to the same family as broccoli. It is also closely related to kale, radish, and cauliflower. Also known as rocket or rucola, arugula usually grows to lengths of 20 to 100 cm. This leafy green plant is usually packed with lots of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. Arugula is very integral in combating free radicals in the body.
To grow arugula, you need a suitable growth medium like soil or hydroponic. You don't need to presoak the seeds before growing them. Arugula seeds take between 1 to 2 days to germinate and are harvested when they are 6 to 8 days old. They are cabbage-like and are known for their peppery flavor.
The sweet basil exists in different varieties. However, the purple basil is the most colorful and popular basil variety. Basil seeds get sticky when they are wet hence you don't need to presoak them. Although basil can do well in soil, hydroponic is its most preferred growth medium since it does well in such conditions.
Basil is a slow grower and takes 4 to 5 days for its seeds to germinate. Its ideal harvest time is when it is 10 to 12 days old. However, if you grow it in the soil, then you will have to wait for 16 days to harvest it. Purple basil can make for a colorful garnish due to its purple and green highlights.
Barley is one of the easiest microgreens to grow. They also grow fast and can be harvested several times. To grow barley, you first need to wash and then soak the seeds for 8 hours. You can then plant the seed in soil or grow them hydroponically. Barley seeds take 2 to 3 days to germinate and are harvested when they are 6 to 9 days old.
For barley microgreens to do well, you need to water them well and ensure that you don't flood them. Barley is bright green and is known for its tender and fresh texture and sweet flavor.
Beets are closely related to chard. It is one of the slowest growers among the microgreens family. This slow growth is mainly due to the fact that beets seeds are contained in a seed capsule that contains several seeds. This makes it harder to evenly spread its seeds when growing it.
When you want to grow beets, you first have to presoak its seeds in cold water for 4 to 10 hours. The soil is its preferred growth medium and the seeds take 11 to 21 days to fully grow and mature and be ready for harvesting. You will know when your beets are ready for harvesting when they develop open leaves that are green in color with vibrant red stems. Beets have a sweet and earthy flavor.
It is a fast grower and is very easy to grow. As a result, it is one of the most common microgreens. Broccoli seeds can be grown in soil and even in hydroponics. Broccoli seeds need 2 to 3 days to germinate and are usually harvested when they are 8 to 10 days old.
When they are ready for harvest, they grow into thin white stems with a green top and purple stems. Broccoli is loved for its fresh cabbage flavor and its tremendous health benefits.
Buckwheat seeds have to be presoaked in cold water for 12 to 24 hours before you can grow them. You can then plant them in soil or hydroponic. However, they do well in the soil as compared to hydroponic since growing them hydroponically is very difficult. When ready for harvesting, buckwheat develops leafy green tops with stems that are red and yellow in color.
To grow buckwheat, once you have soaked the seeds, you should then spread them over the soil. For optimal growth, you have to prepare the soil first by tamping it gently so that it can flatten. You should then spread the seeds evenly on the soil and tamp them gently so that the seeds are in contact with the soil.
You should thoroughly mist the seeds twice a day. You should use a humidity dome to cover the seeds for 3 or 4 days before you can expose them to sunlight. Buckwheat contains a lot of vitamins like Vitamin C, B and K. It has a citrus-like-flavor.
It is also a slow grower. Growing it is difficult and is therefore not suitable to grow if you are a beginner. Celery seeds grow best in hydroponics. They require up to 2 weeks to germinate and take 5 weeks to be harvested. Celery seeds require a lot of attention to grow since you will have to mist them twice a day so that they can stay damp. Mature celery greens have a light green color with a celery flavor.
Chives, leeks, onions, and garlic belong to the same family- Amaryllidaceae. Chives are one of the most popularly grown microgreens because it is easy to grow them and can thrive all year-round. They also have a very short harvest time. Micro chives grow into slender leaves which are needle-like and usually have their black seeds still attached to them.
Micro chives are usually around 5 cm long and have a robust flavor. Chives seeds do well in the soil as compared to hydroponic and take between 1 to 2 weeks to germinate. The best time to harvest micro chives is when they are 3 weeks old.
Micro coriander should be grown in the soil since growing them hydroponically is difficult. Its seed is quite slow to germinate since some may take up to a week to emerge from the soil. If you want to grow them, you should sow its seeds on a lightly compacted soil.
You should cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and then tamp very lightly. You should not presoak the seeds if you want better germination. They do well in temperatures below 21 degrees Celsius. When ready for harvesting, Coriander has very leafy tops with long green stems and have a full cilantro flavor.
The Nutritional Properties of Microgreens
It turns out that microgreens are not just suitable for a healthy salad or soup. Research carried out on microgreens have revealed that these tiny and super young green vegetables are superfoods that are packed with several essential health-promoting nutrients.
These young and edible seedlings have impressive nutritional properties. Here are the nutritional properties of microgreens.
1. Vitamin C in Abundance
Young vegetables and herbs are a rich source of vitamin C. This essential vitamin acts as an antioxidant that helps to eliminate free radicals from the body. The lowest quantity of vitamin C that you can find in a young seedling is a whopping 20 milligrams per 100 grams.
Even tomatoes don't contain such amounts of vitamin C. You can only find 10 milligrams of vitamin C in mature tomatoes. That is half of what microgreens have! Some microgreens such as micro red cabbage have up to 147 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams.
2. Beta-Carotene
Carotenoids are very important in reducing the risk of diseases such as eye diseases and even cancer. Beta-carotene is one of the most important carotenoids. Microgreens are loaded with high amounts of beta-carotene. Micro-carrots, for example, contains 12 milligrams of beta-carotene per 100 grams.
3. Source of Vitamin E
Alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol, which make up vitamin E, are found in great quantities in microgreens. The leading microgreens in terms of vitamin E levels are Daikon radish. They contain 126 milligrams of vitamin E per 100 grams. A small amount of this microgreen will provide your body with its daily requirement of this essential vitamin.
4. Vitamin K
Studies have shown that once seedlings get exposure to sunlight, they start producing large quantities of vitamin K. This essential vitamin acts as an electron acceptor to help chlorophyll absorb sunlight and produce carbohydrates. In humans, this vitamin helps in blood clotting. It also helps in maintaining strong bones and healthy teeth.
Microgreens contain the highest levels of microgreens. They contain up to 4.1 micrograms of vitamin K per gram. If you want to get the right amount of vitamin K and other essential vitamins required by the body, you should include microgreens in your balanced diet.
Benefits of Microgreens
These tiny green vegetables and herbs pack a lot of flavors and have a lot of nutritional and health benefits. Apart from their tremendous health benefits, microgreens are also capable of adding unexpected beauty and texture to your plates and dishes. Here are some of the benefits of microgreens.
High in Nutrients
Microgreens are dense in nutrients as compared to their fully mature versions. Microgreens have all the important vitamins and minerals that older plants have and efficiently crams these nutrients into smaller packages.
Vegetables usually contain a lot of nutrients in a diverse array. For example, basil, which is a microgreen, is high in vitamins A, C and K. Beets, on the other hand, are loaded with a lot of folate and manganese. The micro versions of these vegetables contain more quantities of these nutrients and will boost your vitamin intake very easily and in a short amount of time.
According to studies that have been conducted on microgreens, they contain up to 40 times more nutrients in terms of weight as compared to their fully mature counterparts. This means that you can get the right amounts of nutrients that you need for optimal health by just adding a few microgreens servings into your diet.
Contain Polyphenols
Polyphenols are natural chemicals with powerful antioxidant properties. They are usually found in many foods and play very important roles in our bodies. The body requires antioxidants to prevent harmful free radicals from building up in the body to levels that are toxic. Antioxidants are highly reactive and can damage the cells in our bodies leading to chronic disease.
Polyphenols have been shown to reduce the risk of heart diseases and other conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Microgreens have high levels of polyphenols. Microgreens have not only been found to be a rich source of polyphenols but also contain a wide variety of these health-promoting chemicals compared to their mature versions.
Improve Cardio Health
In developed countries like the United States, heart disease is one of the leading causes of deaths. It accounts for close to 20% of all deaths in these countries. One of the most effective ways one can help to prevent himself or herself from being at risk of coronary heart disease is by modifying their diets.
Numerous studies that were conducted on microgreens showed that including them in your diet can lower your heart disease risk factors. This means that your risks of developing heart disease will be significantly lowered. Microgreens can also reduce a person's weight gain by up to 17 percent. It can also slash bad cholesterol in the body by 34 percent.
If you incorporate one serving or two of microgreens into your balanced diet and couple it with regular physical activity, you will be on the right path towards keeping heart conditions at bay.
Lowers Chronic Disease Risks
Vegetables have extensive health benefits. Thanks to microgreens' impressive polyphenol profile and nutrient levels, eating them have been shown to lower the risks of certain chronic diseases. Increasing the intake of microgreens has been linked to lower risks of inflammations and reduced risks of becoming obese and developing type 2 diabetes.
Very Convenient and Easy
Microgreens are very popular because growing them is very easy. Many microgreen novice growers enjoy cultivating these micro vegetables and herbs because they are convenient and easy to grow. They grow very fast, with some even being ready for harvest within a week of planting them. You don't even need to have a full garden or a backyard to grow these nutritious and flavorful greens.
All you will need is soil, seeds, water and a window where your plants can get a little sunlight. Once you have these in place, you are ready to have your own microgreen garden. If you have always been an impatient gardener, then these micro plants are the perfect fit for you.
Can Be Grown Year-Round
The best part about growing microgreens isn't their convenience, but their ability to grow all year-round. You can grow them anywhere, whether you want to grow them indoors or on your backyard. Since you can grow them anywhere, you don't have to wait for the right weather to set in so you can start growing them.
During summer, you can grow your microgreens anywhere as long as there is enough natural sunlight. During the seasons where sunlight hours are limited, you can use grow light to help your greens thrive year-round.
Improves Visual Appeal of Dishes
When food is served in front of people, they first "eat" it with their eyes before they actually gobble it down. This is especially true when people decide to eat away from home. Microgreens are very popular with high-end restaurants where they are used to add a little more color to plates to make the dishes more appealing.
For most chefs, achieving a superior look with their dishes is Holy Grail in their kitchens. Microgreens are not only important in giving dishes a superior look but also add tastes and textures to any dish. Having fresh microgreens of all sizes can help you achieve whatever you visualize with your dish in terms of colors and shapes.
Microgreens are known to be so rich in flavors. Three or four leaves of these small greens can give you multiple benefits in balance, color, and texture. Their rich flavors make them versatile for use with any dish. They are very consistent and easy to use. You don't need any prep with them since you can use them straight from the farm.
You can use them to lighten up your dishes that are otherwise heavy or too dark. Their robust flavors can also be useful in balancing out your lighter dishes. Microgreens can also add incredible flavor to your salads, stews, soups and even your pasta dishes.
Great for Cocktails
You can even use microgreens in the glass. They are great for adding fresh flavor to drinks such as cocktails and mocktails. In fact, the use of microgreens in cocktails is a trend that is on the rise in the United States. It is also becoming a trend in the United Kingdom.
These micro vegetables were thriving in liquid form; in smoothies or in juices. They have now taken a new twist and are now thriving in alcoholic drinks.
5 Exciting New Ways You Can Use Microgreens
Everyone knows how to make great garnish from microgreens. You can use a handful of arugula to transform your dull bowl of stew into an interesting haute cuisine. You can even use two or three reined-veined sorrels to turn your jelly sandwich and peanut butter into a gourmet.
Are you aware that you can use microgreens to achieve so much more? Here are five ways you can use your microgreens.
You have just come back from work and has had a long day at work. The only thing you now crave for is a salad. However, you don't even have the energy to lift a finger since you are too tired. Fortunately, you remember that you have some microgreens in your refrigerator that you had just bought a few days ago.
Since microgreens are small in size, you don't need to do any chopping to make a salad. All you need to do is mix them in a bowl and there you have your salad. The best part, you will have new and interesting flavors by mixing different varieties of microgreens together.
Is there any better way you can spruce up your pizza pie? Well, there is. All you need is some itty bitty micro vegetables. The best choices of microgreens for pizzas are micro basil and micro arugula. You can also use pea leaves or sunflower to spice up your pizza. When using micros on your pizza, ensure that you apply them after you have baked your pie.
You can add a punch of flavor to your sandwich using microgreens. The right candidate for your sandwich is radish greens. The best type of sandwich to make using microgreens is a wrap. Here is how you can go about it.
First of all, you will need one tortilla, 1 carrot shaved, half a cup spring mix. You also need healthy radish sprouts and feta cheese crumbles. To make your sandwich, you can spread your tortilla with hummus and then arrange your greens on the tortilla. You can then top up your sandwich with some feta crumbles and then wrap it up well.
You can use any microgreen to make to make your juice or smoothie. However, the champion when it comes to juicing or making smoothies is wheatgrass. It has been around for a long time and has been used to make juices by people who seek to have optimal health.
You can also be creative and mix your wheatgrass juice with other fruits. This can help you cut the green flavor of wheatgrass and give your green juice a nutrient boost.
You must be wondering whether someone can actually bake with microgreens. You are curious to know what can be baked using these little greens. Well, there are several ways you can bake using microgreens. You can add some microgreens to your berry pie to offset the sweetness of your berries in a spicy way.
If you have ever dismissed the increasing popularity of microgreens as just some type of trendy food fads that will fade after some time, then you must have changed your mind by now. Microgreens are no longer reserved only for fancy restaurants and high-end groceries that sell them at high prices.
They have now become more available for anyone that wants to eat healthily and reap from their high nutrition profiles. You don't even have to buy them in the supermarkets. You can grow them on your own, on your backyard or even indoors. Introducing microgreens into your diet will be easy since these micro-sized vegetables are versatile and can be incorporated into diets in a variety of ways.
Now that you know the different types of microgreens and how to grow them, you can get started on your healthy diet as soon as you can.

The recent move to RGB-D processing has helped simplify some vision problems, but also led to increased amounts of data to be processed. In these scenarios robotswill always face situations, no matter how optimised and parallelised the vision algorithms, where the visual input is too overwhelming to process within the time constraints of the task at hand. Visual attention is an integral part of human vision that allows humans to process the relevant parts of a scene from a large sensory stream within the harsh time constraints of real world tasks. Roboticvision research has realised the importance of attention mechanisms, and many systems use some form of attention to direct the processing to the parts of the sensory input that are potentially of interest, such as objects emerging from a supporting plane. The last decade has also seen an increasing number of principled approaches on making attention mechanisms an integral part also of robotic vision systems. This poses a number of interesting challenges, such as selection of suitable mechanisms from a large body of work on biologically plausible attention models, fusing general purpose bottom-up and task-driven top-down attention mechanisms, how to use attention in a given task setting to guarantee robotperformance within specific time constraints, how to integrate attention algorithmically into the various processes of an integrated robotic architecture, and coping with conflicting goals such as paying attention to avoid collision with humans while looking at task relevant target locations. In order to tackle these problems, the robotics community needs continuous collaboration and communication with researchers on the psychology and neurology of biological vision systems. While the algorithms and architectural implementations will necessarily differ, insights from biological vision are highly relevant in this still poorly understood field of robot vision. *Submissions* Submissions for Full papers are due on Monday, February 17, 2014 by 11:59:59 PDT.

When it comes to trading in any market, Forex currency trading has a huge advantage over other players in trading business. You see in the forex market one can trade around the clock from Monday through Friday. In the stock market that is simply not possible considering that the market closes at 4:00.
Unlike the stock market, the currency trading market does not require a trader to pay a commission to position a trade. In the forex market you likewise do not have to stress about having a large amount of money in your account to sell your currency sets.
It is so amazing to be able to participate in this market today. You can do so from the comfort of your very own home. As long as you have a computer that is linked to the Internet you are in business. You can start trading with just 300 dollars. I will show you how to turn this 300 dollars into some lots of money in no time at all. This need to be a lot easier to do offered the benefits that you understand the forex market has more than its competitors.
The Forex market is traded by a few of the world's wealthiest people consisting of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. You now have access to the same chances as they do. What is stopping you from getting on the roadway to monetary freedom. You can begin now. You do not have to wait. You have currently begun the journey by choosing to inform yourself on the pros of the Forex market.
I personally enjoy the reality that you can trade whenever you want to with the Forex. In other words if a trader of stocks picks to trade every day, he or she need to have an account balance of 50,000 dollars to do so. There are no such restrictions when it comes to trading the forex.
I desire you to consider cash for a moment. Who utilizes it? The whole world carries out in some form or another. Another advantage that the Forex market has is that there will constantly be a requirement for money. You are simply trading one currency for another in the currency market as the 4x is typically reffered to. The Forex market is not going anywhere. It is here to remain. The only concern is then who will belong of it. We need money to buy the things we utilize daily therefore do those who live in the other parts of this world.
Another benefit that forex has over stocks is the benefit of trading focus. Instead of having to pick in between over 4,000 stocks you can deal with 4 primary currency pairs. Any great company person knows that focusing on too many things is a recipe for monetary catastrophe and this can hold similarly real in the stock exchange.
A stock trader also should grapple with the time problem researching on all those possible stocks provides. It is also much easier to become acquainted with 4 things as opposed to 4,000 things. Focus is the name of the game and 4x trading makes it a lot easier to do so. See the globex360 review for more information.
The ball is now in your court. Will you take it and make the decision to win with currency trading? Forex is undoubtedly the winner's game and those who win consistently know how to play it well.

Wal-Mart Reports Impressive First Quarter Results
Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE:WMT) reported that sales at existing stores in the U.S. rose more than expected during its first quarter, leading to a higher-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue. U.S. same-store sales were up 1 percent in the quarter, beating analysts' estimates of a 0.5 percent increase. This was the seventh quarter in a row that sales have risen.
Wal-Mart reported that total revenue increased 0.9 percent to $115.9 billion during the quarter, beating analyst estimates of $113.22 billion. The company posted first-quarter earnings per share of 98 cents, versus $1.03 a share in the year-earlier period. Analysts expected earnings per share of 88 cents on revenue of $113.22 billion, according to polling by Reuters.
Wal-Mart benefited from more people filling prescriptions with them and higher sales of allergy medications in the quarter. Its general merchandise sales received a boost from increased consumer interest in its apparel and home goods offerings. However, grocery sales at existing stores were down low single digits. Wal-Mart's e-commerce business was another area of weakness as its sales only grew 7 percent last quarter, a deceleration from previous periods.
Wal-Mart warned previously that sales would be relatively flat this year, partially due to the strong dollar. Excluding the impact of a strong dollar in the first quarter, revenue would have increased 4 percent. After the earnings announcement, Chief Financial Officer Brett Biggs said that the company would not be changing its full-year forecast.
Wal-Mart is now spending heavily on investments for the future. The company is fixing up its 4,600 U.S. stores and raised employee pay in an effort to attract and retain better workers. Responding to customer complaints about out-of-stock items and long waits at the checkout line, the company has implemented a new system to stock its shelves and increased staff at the register. The company is also expanding the number of stores where you can pick up groceries ordered online. It expects to be in 40 markets by the end of the month.
These initiatives have been costly and the retailer has made clear to investors that these expenses will eat into its bottom line. While the company saw a modest rise in share price after the earnings announcement, shares of the company have slid 21 percent in the last 12 months.

People have always found ways to solve their problems. For every problem, there are numerous people trying to solve it or claiming they have a solution. The article below will let you in on some of the solutions available for blading.
To prevent loss of hair, start putting more protein in your diet. Hair is made up of protein. You will benefit the most from adding fish, poultry, eggs and red meat to your diet. If you are a vegetarian, or just don't care for meat, try beans and lentils. Eating more protein can reduce further blading.
Adequate amounts of vitamin C are pivotal in reducing the risk of hair thinning. Collagen, a protein essential in maintaining the body's tissues and hair, is spurred on by vitamin C. If you aren't consuming enough vitamin C, add more citrus to your diet, or try supplements.
It is vital that you minimize your stress if you do not want to suffer from the loss of hair. It has been found that stress is a major contributor to the loss of hair. It is possible that your thinning hair will continue if stress is not managed correctly. Learn a variety of ways that you can have control over stress in your life.
Some hair styles can cause blading. Don't pull your hair up too tight, or wear rubber bands for too long. Although hair products are much better than they used to be, they can still damage you hair. Wearing your ponytail too tight can eventually cause permanent damage. If you wear this style on a daily basis, you might destroy your hair follicles.
You can reduce your hair thinning by changing the routine you follow after showering. Rub your scalp gently when drying your hair. You should not use hair dryers on your hair either. If you have to blow dry your hair, use low heat.
You should think about buying a wig if you are losing your hair. Get a wig while you still have hair, so that you can get the most accurate and natural color match. This is also a good way to prepare yourself to the idea of wearing a wig.
Seek professional help to get treatment as soon as possible and to discover your options to prevent further loss. Never start treatment for hair loss without consulting a professional. Your thinning hair could be caused by an underlying medical issue. You want to listen to what the professional tells you.
Many of them only work on certain kinds of hair loss and others have little evidence that they work at all. Some of these products may in fact work. Many do. However you could also be wasting both your time and your money.
Because many are convinced of the power of aloe vera in staving off hair loss, you may wish to see if it works for you. Just rub Aloe Vera into your scalp nightly. By rubbing aloe into your scalp, not only will you stimulate hair growth, but you will also strengthen the hair.
It is possible for those who have experienced thinning hair to buy a wig. This is an ideal solution for blading in both women and men.
Some causes of temporary hair loss include sudden weight loss or gain, recovery from surgery or illness, anemia and stress. This type of loss usually starts approximately 3 months after the event, and runs its course in about three to six months. Know these things and keep them in mind if you experience hair loss.
One vital thing to remember when hoping to stop loss of hair is to pinpoint the time it first began. Certain people discover that they began losing hair when they began to use a certain product, such as alcohol-based hair gel or leave-in treatment. Getting rid of the new product may be enough to stop future hair thinning.
A good tip to implement when trying to prevent blading is to stay away from various toxins and pollutants. Your risk of hair thinning and hair thinning is much higher if your body is exposed to unhealthy substances and has to struggle to maintain its optimal health. For example, avoid breathing car exhaust fumes when in traffic and always wear gloves if you handle toxic chemicals so that they aren't absorbed through your skin.
One reason vegetarians and vegans lose their hair is because they eat too much soy and/or iodine. Soy can alter the function of your thyroid gland. Thyroid irregularities will cause diffuse thinning hair.
Turn to a hairdresser when you need professional care like coloring. Have hairdressers use foil instead of a bleaching cap. Dye contains harsh chemicals that must not make contact with the scalp, as they can damage not only the scalp itself, but the roots of the hair, which can accelerate thinning hair.
One of the largest problems with a blading solution is that all tips aren't going to be effective for everyone. However, with so much solid information about thinning hair, in general, you are guaranteed to find something that works for you in the article above. You just have to be sure to use what you have learned to your benefit.
