Biosphere is the main recording name of Geir Jenssen (born May 30, 1962),[1] a Norwegian musician who has released a notable catalogue of ambient electronic music. He is well known for his "ambient techno" and "arctic ambient" styles, his use of music loops, and peculiar samples from sci-fi sources. His track "Novelty Waves" was used for the 1995 campaign of Levi's. His 1997 album Substrata was voted by the users of the Hyperreal website in 2001 as the best all time classic ambient album.[2]
Prior to Biosphere (1962–1991)[edit]
Jenssen was born on May 30, 1962 in Tromsø, a city within the Arctic Circle in the northernmost portion of Norway. He would later become famous for his "arctic sound".
He was initially inspired by the music of artists such as New Order, Depeche Mode, Wire, and Brian Eno, which he described as "like discovering a new universe—a universe which I wanted to be a part of".[1] In 1983, he bought his first synthesizer and composed his first piece of music, taking influence from his archaeological studies, later stating "Studying the Ice Age and Stone Age has definitely influenced my music."[1] In 1984 Jenssen issued his first album, Likvider, released on cassette only and credited to E-man.[1]
In 1985, Jenssen was part of the newly created Norwegian moody synth trio Bel Canto with Nils Johansen and singer Anneli Drecker.[1] The band signed to Belgian label Crammed Discs and to Nettwerk in North America, and relocated to Brussels.[1] Jenssen, however, soon returned to Tromsø, collaborating with the other band members by post, and continuing with his solo work.[1] Bel Canto released two albums while Jenssen was a member, White-Out Conditions and Birds of Passage. In 1990, he left the band in order to pursue a different music style altogether, and began using a sampler.[1]
Throughout the late 1980s, Jenssen used the moniker Bleep, under which he produced various 12" records, now releasing records via the Crammed Discs subsidiary SSR. His early influences were from acid house and New Beat music.
Released in 1990, The North Pole by Submarine was the only album recorded as Bleep. Further singles followed in 1990 and 1991 before Jenssen abandoned the Bleep moniker and took a distinct change in artistic direction.
As Biosphere (1991–present)[edit]
Following the release of The North Pole by Submarine, Jenssen chose a new musical direction and began releasing his music as Biosphere on obscure Norwegian compilation albums, marking a major stylistic change as well as avoiding any association with "bleep house" (as made popular in the early 1990s by the Sheffield UK-based Warp Records).
His first Biosphere releases were the 12-inch single "The Fairy Tale" and the album Microgravity, both of which were rejected by SSR as unmarketable.[1] Microgravity was released in 1991 on the Norwegian label Origo Sound, and saw wider release via the R&S Records subsidiary Apollo in 1992, to much critical acclaim. In 1992, Jenssen contributed "I'll Strangle You" to Hector Zazou's Sahara Blue project.[1]
In 1994, the second Biosphere album, Patashnik (allegedly Russian for "traveller" or "goner", but this word does not seem to actually exist), was released. Through Patashnik, Jenssen continued to explore his ambient-house stylings to an even greater extent. Patashnik contained the first hints of the reduction in beat-driven song structure that would mark later Biosphere releases. Unlike the first album, Patashnik was quickly picked up by a comparatively large international audience, which brought Biosphere greater recognition. Jenssen also recorded as Cosmic Explorer, scoring a hit in Belgium with the EP The Hubble.[1]
In 1995, Levi Strauss & Co. was searching for a new angle to add to their television advertisement campaign (which up to that point had never featured electronic music), and they decided to use the uptempo track "Novelty Waves" from Patashnik. Shortly thereafter, "Novelty Waves" was released as a single (featuring remixes by various other artists), and managed to chart in several countries, reaching #51 in the United Kingdom.[1] Although Jenssen never regretted his approval for use of the track, he also never sought this kind of fame and subsequently turned down various requests by his record company and peers to collaborate with well-known techno and drum 'n bass artists or to create a follow-up album in the same style. During that same year, Biosphere contributed the song "The Seal and the Hydrophone" exclusively to Apollo 2 – The Divine Compilation released by Apollo Records.
Released in 1997, Substrata is a purely atmospheric ambient Biosphere album, released on Brian Eno's All Saints Records. Substrata, which marked Jenssen's embarkation towards an intensely minimal style, is not only often considered to be Jenssen's best work to date, but is also seen as one of the all time classic ambient albums.[2] Substrata contains notable samples from the American TV show Twin Peaks.
In 2000, Jenssen released Cirque on his new home Touch, an ambient album driven by muffled beats, samples, and minimal atmospherics. Though Cirque briefly revisited territory covered by earlier Biosphere releases, the rhythm section throughout the album remains an element of the background, unlike Jenssen's first two Biosphere releases, wherein the drums occupied a dominating proportion of the foreground.
In 2002, he released Shenzhou, the fifth full length album under the name Biosphere. This album was a more abstract work, comparable to Aphex Twin's 1994 album Selected Ambient Works Volume II. The material on the album draws from elongated, pitch-shifted loops taken from Debussy's La Mer (The Sea),[3] and Jeux.
Released in 2004, Autour de la Lune stands as the most minimal and austere Biosphere album to date. The drones employed on this album are comparable to Coil's 1998 album Time Machines in their timbre and slow rate of change. The bulk of this work was originally commissioned and broadcast in September 2003 by Radio France Culture for a musical evocation of Jules Verne.
In 2006, Jenssen released Dropsonde, a half beatless, half rhythmic album composed of jazz rhythms evocative of Miles Davis' 1970s jazz fusion works. A partial vinyl sampler was released a few months earlier in 2005.
In 2009, Biosphere issued Wireless: Live at the Arnolfini, Bristol, his first live album, containing new tracks such as "Pneuma" and "Pneuma II".
Jenssen has scored a number of films, including Eternal Stars (1993) and Insomnia (1997).[1] He collaborated with German ambient composer Pete Namlook on Fires of Ork, and has also worked with Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart and with Bobby Bird of Higher Intelligence Agency.[1] In 2010, two soundtracks were announced on Biosphere's website, for German film "Im Schatten" and Norwegian "NOKAS".
In 27 June 2011, Geir Jenssen released the album N-Plants, inspired by the Japanese post-war economic miracle. The album theme is related to nuclear plants in Japan.[4]
Biosphere regularly performs live during electronic music festivals and in clubs throughout Europe and various other locales around the world. Live performances usually consist of Jenssen performing improvisations or variations on newer tracks on a laptop while video art is projected behind him; for example, full-screen video art was projected in his Picturehouse cinema tour in April 2006. Although these performances are rarely tied specifically to a recent album release, the uptempo material from the Bleep and Microgravity/Patashnik era is occasionally featured in Biosphere performances.
In May 2004, Biosphere's first United States performance took place in Detroit.
In 2008 Jenssen announced a year-long break from touring due to his reported hatred of "airports, security checks, unhealthy food, air conditioning, hotels, etc.". However he resumes concert activity in 2009[5] and 2011[6]
Other interests[edit]
Jenssen is also an active climber and mountaineer. This hobby is an inspiration on his work, as well as a source of natural sound samples.[1] His highest feat was in 2001, climbing the Cho Oyu (Himalaya, 8201 meters) without oxygen; in 2006, he thus released Cho Oyu 8201m – Field Recordings from Tibet (as Geir Jenssen).

Meanings of his album titles[edit]
All Biosphere album titles allude to the cold environments of space or ice, and their exploration:
- The Biosphere 2 project intended to explore the possible use of an artificial biosphere (a closed ecosystem) for space colonization. The Russian Biosphere 3 too. Both were detached, self-sufficient environments, like a space ship or a submarine.
- The North Pole explored by a submarine, which may be lost like a ship in space.
- Microgravity is the imperfect state of weightlessness in a space ship.
- The word "patashnik" is allegedly Russian cosmonaut slang for "a traveler" or "a goner", a cosmonaut who didn't return from a space mission because his security cable disengaged and he was lost in space.[7]
- Substrata is, among others, a glaciology term (always plural) for the nature of a glacier's bed. .
- A cirque is an amphitheatre-like valley formed by glacial erosion. It also refers to the death of Chris McCandless, a sort of "patashnik" who explored self-sufficient survival in a cirque in Alaska and lost himself.
- Shenzhou refers to the Chinese Shenzhou spacecraft.
- Autour de la Lune (1870, French for Around the Moon) was Jules Verne's followup to From the Earth to the Moon and dealt with the launching and actual space travel to and around the moon.[8]
- A dropsonde is a device designed to be dropped at altitude to collect data as the device falls to the ground – in this context, it's a sonde sent through space to another planet, it's another "patashnik" explorator intended to be lost.
- N-Plants is probably a shortcut of "Nuclear Plants", also, the CD booklet of the album includes writing in Japanese that has this meaning.

LTE phone clears FCC
The FCC brings us interesting news this week, most notably the approval of the first-ever LTE phone to arrive in the U.S. The Samsung SCH-R900 will be a CDMA phone for MetroPCS and looks to be using the 1700/1900 bands. It will also have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Another approval worth nothing is the ZTE Peel, which is not a phone, but an EV-DO Rev. 0 Wi-Fi hot spot that may be designed to fit on an iPod Touch. (Get it?

About 2,7000 Dominion customers without power
UPDATE: By 7:15 p.m., power was restored to all but 10 customers. Power will be fully restored once Fairfax County Police finish their investigation into the electrical shock and give Dominion access to the area.
A contractor doing work on power lines near W&OD trail at Hunter Mill Road and Hunter Station caused a large power outage after he sustained an electrical shock.
Dominion Power says approximately 2,700 customers are without power. Crews are working to restore at this time. Work is not expected to take more than a couple hours.
An investigation into the exact cause is underway, but it's believed to have been due to contractor error.
The worker was performing circuit reconditioning work when the incident occurred.
Fairfax County Fire confirms the man was flown to an area hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

Simmons School of Management, HP Survey Shows Successful Businesswomen Don't Hesitate to Ask for What They Want
BOSTON (January 17, 2006) — Women business leaders don't shy away from asking for what they want to be successful—and their negotiations pay off in a big way, according to a survey by the Simmons School of Management and HP.
Recent business writings, including a popular book "Women Don't Ask," say that businesswomen are hesitant to negotiate for what it would take to be successful at their jobs. But a computer survey of nearly 500 middle and senior-level businesswomen during the 2005 Simmons School of Management national leadership conference in Boston revealed that businesswomen are highly likely to negotiate when they take on a challenging new role.
And the vast majority of those who negotiated reported higher performance reviews, significantly more job satisfaction, ongoing opportunities for new leadership roles, and less likelihood of leaving their companies than those who didn't negotiate.
The survey also showed that women with the most experience in leadership situations tend to carefully diagnose any new position before accepting it—first checking with a broad network of informal "career advisors" inside and outside the company about what should be negotiated.
(For the complete article, "It Pays to Ask: Negotiating Conditions for Leadership Success," go to http://www.simmons.edu/som/cgo).
"Many studies of women and negotiating are based on role-playing and games," says Deborah Kolb, survey leader and Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor of Women and Leadership at the Simmons School of Management (www.simmons.edu/som). "But when you look at negotiating in the real world, around leadership opportunities and challenges, we see that the successful women do, indeed, negotiate. And it pays off for everyone.
"That's a powerful message to companies as well as to women who want to get ahead. Companies should encourage women to negotiate. If they say, 'Let's sit down and figure out what you need up front to be successful in this new job,' it pays off in higher motivation and lower turnover."
Of the businesswomen who reported taking on a new leadership role, whether it was a major new project or a new job:
—84% said they negotiated with their superiors for additional financial or human resources
—62% negotiated for support for their agenda, and for a strategic introduction that made the case why they were right for the job.
—52% negotiated over job title, job descriptions, key reporting relationships, and mutual expectations with the boss.
Outcomes of women who said they negotiated included:
—75% reported they were significantly satisfied with their jobs, versus 27% who did not negotiate.
—70% said they were not likely to consider employment elsewhere, versus 30% of the women who did not negotiate.
—81% said they were offered additional opportunities for leadership roles.
—86% reported that their last performance review "exceeded or far exceeded" their expectations.
Kolb said women should not think the choice is simply to accept or decline a challenging new assignment.
"No job that's a challenge and a stretch is a perfect fit," she said. "Some aspects build on your strengths, others represent a steep learning curve. Ask yourself, 'What would it take to make me say yes to this offer? How can I make the job fit who I am, where I am?'
"Access your strengths and weaknesses, and negotiate for whatever you need in the way of job title, resources, a safety net, and senior level support for any difficult actions you may have to take. Dig deep to gather good intelligence and then enlist people to help. That's what successful women do.
"Women who don't negotiate, who just take the job offered to them, are creating problems for themselves down the road."
The findings are from a computer survey of 470 of the 3,000 businesswomen from around the country who attended the 2005 Simmons School of Management Leadership Conference. Average work experience was 20 years. The survey was conducted by the School of Management—the only business school in the world designed specifically for women—and HP, a conference sponsor committed to the success of women.

Can't someone please fix online shipping, already?
As I write this column, I'm on my seventh day of waiting for a Nordstrom package to arrive, and I am fuming. My order was received April 6, it didn't ship until three days ago, and it's still not here. And all I can think is, "I wish I'd ordered that through Amazon."
That's the sentence that should, and probably does, strike fear into the heart of any company doing e-commerce retail today. So why is Amazon still one of the few companies successfully executing free and timely shipping?

1 Controlling Gear Distortion and Residual Stresses During Induction Hardening (March/April 2012)
Induction hardening is widely used in both the automotive and aerospace gear industries to minimize heat treat distortion and obtain favorable compressive residual stresses for improved fatigue performance. The heating process during induction hardening has a significant effect on the quality of the heat-treated parts. However, the quenching process often receives less attention even though it is equally important.
2 Induction Hardening of Gears and Critical Components - Part II (November/December 2008)
Part I, which was published in the September/October 2008 issue, covered gear materials, desired microstructure, coil design and tooth-by-tooth induction hardening. Part II covers spin hardening and various heating concepts used with it.
3 Induction Hardening of Gears and Critical Components - Part I (September/October 2008)
Induction hardening is a heat treating technique that can be used to selectively harden portions of a gear, such as the flanks, roots and tips of teeth, providing improved hardness, wear resistance, and contact fatigue strength without affecting the metallurgy of the core and other parts of the component that dont require change. This article provides an overview of the process and special considerations for heat treating gears. Part I covers gear materials, desired microsctructure, coil design and tooth-by-tooth induction hardening.
4 Recent Inventions and Innovations in Induction Hardening of Gears and Gear-Like Components (March/April 2013)
This paper examines the expanding capabilities of induction hardening of gears through methods like spin hardening or tooth-by-tooth techniques.
5 Fahrenheit 451: Gear Up For Induction Hardening (March/April 1998)
So, you've been assigned the task to buy an induction heating system for heat treating: It's an intimidating, but by no means impossible, assignment. With the help of the information in this article, you could be able to develop common ground with your supplier and have the tools to work with him or her to get the right machine for your jobs.
6 Induction Heat Treating Gains Ground through Advances in Technology (March/April 2011)
In recent years, there has been significant interest in expanding the use of induction hardening in gear manufacturing operations. Over the past several years, many of the limits to induction hardening have shrunk, thanks to recent advances in technology, materials and processing techniques.
7 The Heat Goes On - Gear Up for Induction Hardening (March/April 2005)
This article covers preventive maintenance and modification to machinery to induction harden different types of gear.
8 Dual Frequency Induction Gear Hardening (March/April 1993)
In the typical gear production facility, machining of gear teeth is followed by hear treatment to harden them. The hardening process often distorts the gear teeth, resulting in reduced and generally variable quality. Heat treating gears can involve many different types of operations, which all have the common purpose of producing a microstructure with certain optimum properties. Dual frequency induction hardening grew from the need to reduce cost while improving the accuracy (minimizing the distortion) of two selective hardening processes: single tooth induction and selective carburizing.
9 Induction Heat Trating: Things Remembered, Things Forgotten (March/April 1997)
Many potential problems are not apparent when using new induction heat treating systems. The operator has been trained properly, and setup parameters are already developed. Everything is fresh in one's mind. But as the equipment ages, personnel changes or new parts are required to be processed on the old equipment ages, personnel changes or new parts are required to b processed on the old equipment, important information can get lost in the shuffle.
10 The Effects of Surface Hardening on the Total Gear Manufacturing System (January/February 1991)
Carburized and hardened gears have optimum load-carrying capability. There are many alternative ways to produce a hard case on the gear surface. Also, selective direct hardening has some advantages in its ability to be used in the production line, and it is claimed that performance results equivalent to a carburized gear can be obtained. This article examines the alternative ways of carburizing, nitriding, and selective direct hardening, considering equipment, comparative costs, and other factors. The objective must be to obtain the desired quality at the lowest cost.
11 Gear Hardness Technology (March/April 1992)
In a very general sense, increasing the hardness of a steel gear increases the strength of the gear. However, for each process there is a limit to its effectiveness. This article contains background information on each of the processes covered. In each section what is desired and what is achievable is discussed. Typical processes are presented along with comments on variables which affect the result. By reviewing the capabilities and processes, it is possible to determine the limits to each process.
12 The Submerged Insuction Hardening of Gears (March/April 2001)
The tooth-by-tooth, submerged induction hardening process for gear tooth surface hardening has been successfully performed at David Brown for more than 30 years. That experience - backed up by in-depth research and development - has given David Brown engineers a much greater understanding of, and confidence in, the results obtainable from the process. Also, field experience and refinement of gear design and manufacturing procedures to accommodate the induction hardening process now ensure that gears so treated are of guaranteed quality.
13 Gear Heat Treating by Induction (March/April 2000)
The induction hardening and tempering of gears and critical components is traditionally a hot subject in heat treating. In recent years, gear manufacturers have increased their knowledge in this technology for quality gears.
14 Ferritic Nitrocarburizing Gears to Increase Wear Resistance and Reduce Distortion (March/April 2000)
Quality gear manufacturing depends on controlled tolerances and geometry. As a result, ferritic nitrocarburizing has become the heat treat process of choice for many gear manufacturers. The primary reasons for this are: 1. The process is performed at low temperatures, i.e. less than critical. 2. the quench methods increase fatigue strength by up to 125% without distorting. Ferritic nitrocarburizing is used in place of carburizing with conventional and induction hardening. 3. It establishes gradient base hardnesses, i.e. eliminates eggshell on TiN, TiAIN, CrC, etc. In addition, the process can also be applied to hobs, broaches, drills, and other cutting tools.
15 High Temperature Gear Materials (November/December 2013)
What gear material is suitable for high-temperature (350 550 degree C), high-vacuum, clean-environment use?

Team photographer Eric Lars Bakke has been working with the Broncos for 26 years. His photography blog will serve as a unique look from the perspective of an NFL photographer, periodically updating the site with tales from the sidelines, some of his favorite photos and the stories behind them.
For all of us, the year 2010 will go down as a memorable one for certain. We all had our joys and our sorrows; our struggles and our accomplishments.
And for Denver Bronco fans the year didn't turn out as they had hoped or envisioned. The season is nearing an end and yet there is promise. Remember, there will be a tomorrow and there DEFINITELY will be more orange and blue sunsets.
As we close out this calendar year, I would like to share some of my favorite moments from the sidelines around the NFL following the team.
In looking forward to 2011, be patient, be loyal and remember these words from the great Vince Lombardi:
"We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible."
Happy New Year to All.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The woman charged with murder after police say she left her newborn daughter in a trash can at a Louisville Kohl's store was a store employee who remained inside the women's restroom for a lengthy amount of time before leaving work the day she gave birth, Louisville Metro Police said on Thursday.
Jessica Price, 29, was arrested Wednesday night. In addition to the murder charge, Price also was charged with tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse. Investigators said Price's baby appeared to be full-term and healthy, but died as a result of an intentional act that "caused the victim's corpse to be treated in an inhumane manner." The cause of death has not been determined. Police said during a Thursday morning news conference they wanted to make sure the baby was alive at birth before charging Price with a crime.
[PREVIOUS STORY: Questions remain after dead baby found in Kohl's restroom]
Police and EMS were notified of an unresponsive newborn at the Kohl's store on Standiford Plaza Drive in Hillview August 8. Investigators said the baby was discovered by a person changing the trash bag in the women's restroom.
Police said Price admitted having concealed her pregnancy, giving birth inside the restroom, then disposing of the body and other evidence of the birth.

Royce is one half of the rap duo Bad Meets Evil with Eminem and also a member of hip hop group Slaughterhouse. The editors of About.com ranked him No. 33 on their list of the Top 50 MCs of Our Time (1987–2007).[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Montgomery was born and raised on the western side of Detroit, Michigan on W. McNichols & Wyoming Ave. He moved to Oak Park, Michigan when he was 10 years old, later acquiring the nickname "Royce" during high school after wearing a Turkish link chain with an R pendant resembling the Rolls Royce symbol. He started rapping at age 18, influenced mainly by Ras Kass, Redman, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G. and N.W.A.[2] He signed his first deal in 1998 with Tommy Boy Records, after the label shut down, he signed a deal with Columbia where he started recording an album called Rock City, referring to Detroit's former status as home to Motown Records. When the project was heavily bootlegged, Royce left the label for Koch to re-record some of the album, eventually releasing it in 2002 as Rock City (Version 2.0). While the album did not sell very well, the DJ Premier-produced single "Boom" gained Royce some underground recognition and eventually resulted in the two working together more closely.
Early acclaim[edit]
Through his manager, Royce was introduced to Eminem in 1997, and the two formed a working relationship; they formed up as a duo, Bad Meets Evil, and released several tracks together. Royce appeared on Eminem's major-label debut studio album The Slim Shady LP, in which he was featured on a song called "Bad Meets Evil". However, many of the CD's pressed and released did not have this song on them. Royce and Eminem also released a track called "Renegades", from which Royce's vocals would later be replaced with Jay-Z's on the latter's The Blueprint. Through Eminem, Royce would also be introduced to both Dr. Dre and execs at Game Recordings. After Royce's manager Kino stated: "I've seen Em sit Dre down like a pupil and coach him on rhymes" on a phone interview,[3] Dr. Dre requested that Royce cut ties with Kino. Royce refused to fire his manager Kino, thus Royce's relationship with Dre ended.
Feud with D12[edit]
Royce had a falling out with D12, including mutual friend and group member Proof. This resulted in a drawn-out, public rivalry between the rapper and five of the six members, with Royce releasing three diss tracks aimed at the group. The first diss track, "Shit on You", was recorded over instrumental of D12's song with the same name and mainly attacked group member Bizarre. "Malcolm X" was the second diss track, which featured Tré Little. D12 responded with "Smack Down" which was recorded over 50 Cent's "Back Down" instrumental. Proof also recorded a diss track entitled "Many Men". This was recorded over 50 Cent's "Many Men (Wish Death)" instrumental. Proof later released another diss with The Purple Gang called "Beef Is Ova". Royce responded with his third diss track, which was recorded over 50 Cent's "In Da Club" instrumental titled "Death Day". In the summer of 2003, D12 member Proof confronted Royce outside a club in Detroit. Violence erupted between the rappers' entourage, leading to the Police being called, and Proof and Royce's arrest. The two were detained overnight in adjacent cells where they talked out their differences and ended the feud.[4] A few years later Royce was featured in a mixtape of D12 released in 2008 called Return of the Dozen. They also went on tour in Europe and Canada together.
Solo work[edit]
Royce signed with Game Recordings, for whom he had recorded several tracks for the soundtrack of the video game Grand Theft Auto III, released in 2001. The in-game radio station, Game Radio FM, prominently featured Royce's "I'm the King" and The Alchemist-produced solo track, which (along with the publicized beef) helped elevate Royce's name beyond his association with Eminem. In 2001, Royce was featured on pop singer Willa Ford's song "I Wanna Be Bad". In 2004, he released his second and most critically successful album to date, Death Is Certain, charting with another Premier-produced single, "Hip-Hop".
After the relative success of his sophomore effort, Royce put out a third solo project, Independent's Day, in 2005. This was met with less acclaim than either of his previous releases. During this time, the rivalry between Royce and former friend Proof reached a boiling point in the streets of Detroit, on an occasion where the two rappers drew guns; they were subsequently arrested and left to work out their differences while spending the night in neighboring cells in jail. The time spent in jail led to the artists ending their feud and subsequently embarking on two overseas tours together.[5] Though Royce had planned other projects involving Nottz and his former crew, D-Elite, these were cut short after a sentencing to one year in prison for a DUI.[6] On August 9, 2011, Royce released his fifth album Success Is Certain. The album title serves as a play on words from his second release, Death Is Certain. He is currently working with producer S1 on his next studio album.[7]
Release from prison[edit]
After his release in 2007, Royce with DJ Premier and Statik Selektah released the mixtape The Bar Exam. He also announced an album with Premier; in an interview with Elemental Magazine, Royce stated that, contrary to rumors, Premier would not be producing the entirety of his upcoming album, but will be overseeing the project as executive producer, handpicking all of the beats. Following The Bar Exam, Royce wrote the single for Diddy's album Press Play, "Tell Me". Following this, the producer expressed interest in signing the lyricist to Bad Boy.[8] Nas has also stated that he would like to sign Royce to his Def Jam imprint, The Jones Experience.[9] Neither of these deals, however, materialized.
In early 2008 Royce confirmed that he had officially resolved misunderstandings between himself and Eminem.[10] He released The Bar Exam 2 with DJ Green Lantern later in the year, as well as a retail version of the mixtape The Album; the projects featured production from Green Lantern, 9th Wonder, DJ Premier and 6 July, among others. Later worked on his Premier-assisted retail release, Street Hop, the lead single of which was "Shake This", also produced by DJ Premier. The video to the song circulated the internet, and the project was released October 20, 2009.[11] On May 26, 2012, Royce announced that he will release a mixtape before his next album via Twitter.[12]
Joe Budden collaborated with Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Royce da 5'9" and Nino Bless on a track titled "Slaughterhouse" on his digital release, Halfway House. Based on the reception of the track, they decided to form a supergroup, minus Nino Bless, and named it after the first song they made together.[13] They released numerous songs throughout early 2009, building a buzz for their self-titled album, which was released through E1 on August 11, 2009.[14] The album features production from DJ Khalil, Mr. Porter and The Alchemist, plus guest appearances from Pharoahe Monch, K. Young and The New Royales. The group signed with Shady Records on January 12, 2011. On August 28, 2012 Slaughterhouse released their second studio album, Welcome to: Our House. As of November 23, 2012, it has sold 146,000 copies in the United States. In June 2013, the group began recording their second album with Shady Records. Super producer Just Blaze has been tapped to be Executive Producer of the project.[15]
Bad Meets Evil reunion[edit]
After Royce reconciled with Eminem, the duo started working again on new music and released the album Hell: The Sequel on June 14, 2011 with Eminem's label Shady Records. Two singles from the EP were released: "Fast Lane" and "Lighters" featuring Bruno Mars. The album would be certified Gold by the RIAA.
Personal life[edit]
While in high school, Royce da 5'9" was generally a good student in class. He recalls in an interview by saying, "In high school I would usually excel in class depending on the teacher, I will admit I did have a bit of attention issues but actually I was a well appreciated student."[16] Royce is a former alcoholic, who has been sober since September 11, 2012.[17]

AbstractThis article reviews recent developments and areas of research in Antarctic medical science. Nineteen nations are part of the Antarctic treaty and undertake research programmes in Antarctica. Medical science is a small but important part of these programmes. Areas that have been studied include aspects of cold physiology, ultraviolet light effects, endocrine changes (including polar T3 syndrome), alterations in immune function, chronobiology, psychology, microbiology, epidemiology and telemedicine. Antarctica has been recognized as the closest thing on Earth to a testing ground for aspects of space exploration and as such has been termed a space analogue.

AbstractPostglacial recolonisation patterns are well documented for the Northern Hemisphere biota, but comparable processes in the Southern Hemisphere have only recently been examined. In the largely terrestrial Northern Hemisphere, recession of ice after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) allowed various taxa, including slow-moving terrestrial species, to migrate poleward. By contrast, the Southern Hemisphere polar region is completely ringed by ocean, and recolonisation of Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands has thus presented considerable challenges. Although a few highly dispersive marine species have been able to recolonise postglacially, most surviving high-latitude taxa appear to have persisted throughout glacial maxima in local refugia. These contrasting patterns highlight the importance of habitat continuity in facilitating biological range shifts in response to climate change.

AbstractThe Antarctic continent is frequently cited as the last pristine continent on Earth. However, this view is misleading for several reasons. First, there has been a rapid increase in visitors to Antarctica, with large increases at research bases and their environs and to sites of major tourist interest (e.g. historical sites and concentrations of megafauna). Second, although substantial efforts are made to avoid physical disturbance and contamination by chemical, human and other wastes at these sites, little has been done to prevent the introduction of non-indigenous microorganisms. Here, we analyse the extent and significance of anthropogenic introduction of microbial 'contaminants' to the Antarctic continent. We conclude that such processes are unlikely to have any immediate gross impact on microbiological community structure or function, but that increased efforts are required to protect the unique ecosystems of Antarctica from microbial and genetic contamination and homogenisation.

Bale at the treble as Spurs add to Villa's woes (From Enfield Independent)

Gareth Bale scores hat-trick as Tottenham Hotspur beat Aston Villa
8:13pm Wednesday 26th December 2012 in Sport
Gareth Bale bagged a second-half hat-trick as Tottenham returned to the Barclays Premier League top four with a comfortable 4-0 victory at Aston Villa.
After dominating the first half without managing to make a breakthrough, Spurs went ahead in the 57th minute when Jermain Defoe nutmegged Brad Guzan to register his 14th goal of the season.
Bale - who had already gone close twice - then stole the show, netting in the 61st, 73rd and 84th minutes to take his own tally for the campaign to ten.
The result ensures Spurs keep up their push for Champions League football, moving them up to fourth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Everton and sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion, who had both won earlier in the day.
The picture is somewhat different for Villa, who had been looking to bounce back from the 8-0 mauling they suffered at Chelsea three days ago but instead were beaten comprehensively once again and remain only three points above the relegation zone in 16th place.
After being run completely ragged at Stamford Bridge, Villa were under heavy pressure from the off against Spurs, who went close in the 11th minute when Bale saw a curling effort from outside the box kept out by a fine diving save from Guzan.
Defoe put Tottenham in front, stabbing in through Guzan's legs having latched on to Kyle Naughton's through ball.
Four minutes later Spurs doubled their lead, taking advantage of some sloppy play by their opponents. Christian Benteke's cross was cut out to launch a Tottenham counter-attack which Villa could not halt, with a Joe Bennett tackle sending the ball to Bale, who advanced forward, rounded Guzan and prodded home.
It took a further 12 minutes for Bale to grab another goal and effectively end the game as a contest, the Welshman collecting Aaron Lennon's pass in the box and slotting it into the corner.
He then completed his treble with six minutes of normal time remaining, sending the ball into the roof of the net from substitute Gylfi Sigurdsson's tee-up.

Recently there was a hummingbird banding at Hummingbird Haven in Smithfield. There are 48 feeders in the yard. Around 150 hummers were captured, banded, adopted and released. Lydia came from out of state to adopt a hummingbird. She was given her hummer in the pink bag. She took it over to the banding station and once the bird was banded was given her bird to hold in her hands. When she was ready to let go, she tapped her hand slightly and off it went. She also got an adoption certificate with the banding number. What an exciting day with about 400 people attending.

Title in the Language of the Records
France, Quimper et Léon diocèse, registres des paroisses catholiques
Record Description
This Collection will include records from 1772 to 1910.
In earlier years, separate registers were maintained for baptisms, marriages, and burials. However, towards the end of the 17 century the entries were generally intermingled. Entries were made in chronological order, with the records being written in Latin. Confirmations were not consistently recorded. Toward the latter half of the 19th century, pre-printed forms began to be used with the date and names written in by the officiating priest.
In 1539, François I issued the edict of Villers-Cotterêts, which required the Catholic Church to record baptisms. The Pope mandated that records be kept in 1563. In 1579 the edict of Blois required the church in France to register marriages and burials. In 1667, the Code Louis required that two copies of the registers be kept, with one deposited at the bailliage. Most parishes covered a single town or village. Large cities normally had multiple parishes.
French Catholic parish registers were created to record the church's sacraments of baptism, marriage, and burial.
French Catholic parish registers are extremely reliable sources for French family history.

The key genealogical facts found in most baptismal entries may include the following information:
- Date and place of baptism
- Birt date of child
- Name and gender of child

- Names of parents
- Names of grandparents
- Names of godparents
The key genealogical facts found in most marriage entries may include the following information:
- Date and place of marriage
- Names of the bride and groom
- Marital status (this could be "previously unmarried" or be "widow" or "widower."
- Their residences and ages
- Names of groom's parents
- Names of bride's parents
- Names of the witnesses and their relationship to the bride and groom

- Women are always identified by their maiden name.
The key genealogical facts found in most burial entries may include the following information:
- Date and place of burial
- Date and place of death
- Name of deceased
- Age of deceased
- Names of their parents (if unmarried) or name of the spouse

Online Records
In August 2010 the first online records were published for the collection comprising parishes beginning with letters A and B.
The following parishes are included:
- Argol
- Arzano
- Audierne
- Bannalec
- Brest-paroisse-Notre-Dame-des-Carmes
- Brest Hospice Civile
- Brest-paroisse-Lambézellec
- Brest-paroisse-Saint-Louis
- Brest-paroisse-Saint-Martin
- Brest-paroisse-Saint-Pierre
Further revisions to the collection will follow as other parishes are published in future.
How to Use the Records
Parish registers are the best source for identifying individuals, parents, and spouses in France before 1792. Civil registration began in September 1792, and after this date, civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths is equally important. The information recorded in the parish registers confirms the information found in the civil registers.
Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches.
