Humbert Weighs in on Amazon's Drone Delivery Program in Washington Business Journal
The media is currently abuzz with Amazon's recent announcement of Amazon Prime Air, a new delivery system that would use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to deliver packages to customers. While Amazon states on their website that their new drone delivery system would be ready to go as early as 2015, pending Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rulings for the use of UAVs, applications of this system may need more time for refinement before it is safe to fully operate in an urban environment.
In a recent story appearing in the Washington Business Journal, Humbert outlines some of the logistical and practical challenges facing Amazon's drone program, and specifically, points out the current limitations of Amazon drones' "sense and avoid technology."
"You can fly overhead and through Google Maps [to] figure out where the building is. You can get an octocopter right out in front of a building or on top of it," said Humbert. "But in terms of actually ducking down into the urban clutter and navigating unknown objects, including things like phone lines, that's the technology that isn't there right now."
And Humbert should know. The AVL currently works on a number of projects that looks to nature's adaptations for flight and maneuverability, such as hummingbirds, moths and even fruit flies, to create sophisticated bio-inspired sensing technologies that could enable future autonomous vehicles to navigate just those sorts of complex three-dimensional environments.
For more information on Humbert, visit his faculty profile page or the Autonomous Vehicle Lab website.

Why Civilian Control of the US Military Is Deeply Threatened
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
For decades the U.S. military has waged clandestine war on virtually every continent on the globe, but, for the first time, high-ranking Special Operations Forces (SOF) officers are moving out of the shadows and into the command mainstream. Their emergence suggests the U.S. is embarking on a military sea change that will replace massive deployments, like Iraq and Afghanistan, with stealthy night raids, secret assassinations, and death-dealing drones. Its implications for civilian control of foreign policy promises to be profound.
Early this month, Vice Adm. Robert Harward—a former commander of the SEALs—the Navy's elite SOF that recently killed al-Qaeda leader Osma bin Laden—was appointed deputy commander of Central Command, the military region that embraces the Middle East and Central Asia. Another SEAL commander, Vice Adm. Joseph Kernan, took over the number two spot in Southern Command, which covers Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Obama Administration has been particularly enamored of SOFs, and, according to reporters Karen DeYoung and Greg Jaffe of the Washington Post, is in the process of doubling the number of countries where such units are active from 60 to 120. U.S. Special Operations Command spokesman Col. Tim Nye told Nick Turse that SOF forces would soon be deployed in 60 percent of the world's nations: "We do a lot of traveling."
Indeed they do. U.S. Special Operations Command (SOC) admits to having forces in virtually every country in the Middle East, Central Asia, as well as many in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. But true to its penchant for secrecy, SOC is reluctant to disclose every country to which its forces are deployed. "We're obviously going to have some places where it's not advantageous for us to list where were at," Nye told Turse.
SOF forces have almost doubled in the past two decades, from some 37,000 to close to 60,000, and major increases are planned in the future. Their budget has jumped from $2.3 billion to $9.8 billion over the last 10 years
These Special Forces include the Navy's SEALs, the Marines Special Operations teams, the Army's Delta Force, the Air Force's Blue Light and Air Commandos, plus Rangers and Green Berets. There is also the CIA, which runs the clandestine drone war in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.
It is increasingly difficult to distinguish civilian from military operatives. Leon Panetta, former director of the CIA, is now Defense Secretary, while Afghanistan commander Gen. David Petraeus—an expert on counterinsurgency and counter terror operations—is taking over the CIA. Both have worked closely with SOF units, particularly Petraeus, who vastly increased the number of "night raids" in Iraq and Afghanistan. The raids are aimed at decapitating insurgent leadership, but have caused widespread outrage in both countries.
The raids are based on intelligence that many times comes from local warlords trying to eliminate their enemies or competition. And, since the raids are carried out under a cloak of secrecy, it is almost impossible to investigate them when things go wrong.
A recent CIA analysis of civilian casualties from the organization's drone war in Pakistan contends that attacks since May 2010 have killed more than 600 insurgents and not a single civilian. But a report by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism at City University in London found "credible evidence" that at least 45 non-combatants were killed during this period. Pakistani figures are far higher.
Those higher numbers, according to Dennis C. Blair, retired admiral and director of national intelligence from 2009 to 2010, "are widely believed [in Pakistan] and, Blair points out, "our reliance on high-tech strikes that pose no risk to our soldiers is bitterly resented."

3120 McKinney Ave.
Dallas, TX 75204
Category: Art Galleries
Region: Uptown & Oak Lawn
Weekend after weekend, the cars pile up on the service roads that lead to NorthPark Center and I wonder why. Why do we load the kids into the car, circle the lots and curse at predatory parkers only to enter a noisy, crowded space and then fork over our hard-earned cash? There's nothing interesting about The Gap (except the markup); there's nothing fun about waiting in line for 15 minutes for a fountain drink; you gain nothing from a trip to Urban Outfitters but a headache and an utter disdain for overpriced scarves. Go to the mall only when you absolutely have to, and spend your weekends doing something different. And interesting. And fun. Like the Dallas Art Dealers Association Spring Gallery Walk, which happens from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m Saturday. This annual event lets you loose on the streets of Dallas to visit 40 member galleries at your own pace. Artists will be interested in panels held at CentralTrak, 800 Exposition Ave., from 10:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. And if you really have to indulge in some shopping, stop off at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, 3120 McKinney Ave., for the Artist's Market from 12 p.m. until 3p.m., featuring handcrafted works from local artists. Visit dallasartdealers.org for other participating galleries and to buy tickets for panel discussions.

Most bullying goes unnoticed by peers and family. It comes in the form of verbal degradation. An insult or series of insults designed to inflict mental anguish and distress. This form of abuse is extremely effective and can cause long-term consequences for the victim.
Unlike bruises that show their severity on the outside these blows are left unseen and if unaddressed can cause low self esteem, depression and violence. Visit the website to find out how you can help:

Technology: Helping or Hurting Our Boys?
- Tuesday, October 08, 2013
In total, "The amount of time young people spend with media has grown to where it's even more than a full-time work week," said Drew Altman, PhD, president and CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation. "When kids are spending this much time doing anything, we need to understand how it's affecting them—for good and bad."
What's normal for our children is to spend hours and hours per day with the television, computer, cell phone, iPod, iPad, notebook, tablet, laptop, and whatever else gets rolled out in the tech world tomorrow.
But is "normal" best for your child?
Effects of Screen Time on the Developing Brain
With the best of intentions, we've brought gadgets and gizmos into our homes and lives. We thought we were doing the right thing by allowing our children to become technologically literate, knowing this skill would prove valuable in their futures. But as is often the case, we're finding too much of a good thing isn't that good. Kids spend increasing amounts of time in front of a screen, any kind of a screen, from an iPod mini to a fifty-five-inch flat screen, and all this screen time has a powerful effect on their growing brains. Here are some results to consider as you evaluate whether your child is overusing technologies.
- Tissue development can be retarded in certain parts of the brain, especially among young children whose brains are developing rapidly. The human brain is genetically wired to develop in natural, sensorial, and kinesthetic settings by doing things with one's senses. A brain that develops in front of a screen for too long can miss out on its natural growth trajectory.
- The more media and technology a child uses, the greater the chance of a child getting lower grades. The Kaiser study found that just under half (47 percent) of the heaviest media users received fair or poor grades (mostly Cs or lower), compared to about a quarter (23 percent) of light users (who consume less than three hours of media per day).
Teachers anecdotally confirm this. Common Sense Media polled 685 classroom teachers on how children's use of media and technology—television, video games, texting, social networking, music—affects school achievement and performance. More than 70 percent of teachers reported students' media use hurts their attention and focus in school. The report stated what is probably obvious to any of us who have seen our son's homework quality decline: "Many teachers think students spend so much time with media that they neglect their homework and aren't prepared in class."
In this report, elementary school teachers saw more video games, television, and computer games as invading student work and performance; middle and high school teachers saw more negative impacts on learning from overuse of texting and social networking. Two-thirds of teachers also said they noticed entertainment media having a "very" or "somewhat" negative impact on early and intense sexualization of students. Other studies have also noted increased aggression among children who see a constant barrage of violent imagery on television, online, and in video games.
But the news is not all bad.
According to the Common Sense Media study, 63 percent of teachers saw media helping students find information quickly and efficiently, and 34 percent of teachers thought students multitask better than they would have without the constant use of multiple technologies (televisions, computers, video games, iPods, MP3 players, and smartphones).
James Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, said, "We know that our children learn from the media they consume. This survey is yet another reminder of how critical it is to consistently guide our kids to make good media choices and balance the amount of time they spend with any media and all of their other activities."

Many times, past experiences in life tend to influence the path your future follows. For Al Eaton of Manchester, Connecticut, watching his dad race Midgets around a dirt track combined with his mom's daily driver, a hopped-up 1935 Ford coupe, obviously fueled his interests in hot rods. Growing up, he worked with his dad building two complete homes and garages, which gave him the knowledge of woodworking that sparked a fascination with woodie wagons.
His first experience started in the deep end of the pool with a clapped-out 1940 Chevy woodie, which had been left for dead in a field so long it had a tree growing through its roof. The wagon was so bad, he remembers duct-taping it together with his son just to get it on the trailer in one piece. After dragging it home, he began learning about the structural needs of the car while rebuilding it as a two-door phantom wagon complete with suicide doors. The first effort came out so nice it was featured in STREET RODDER back in 1997.
As the years passed, the Chevy moved on to new owners, giving Al the opportunity to start canvassing the area for a new project. Wanting to take on another wagon and already having experienced building a phantom-styled car before, he focused on locating something quite different this time. While driving by a friend's house with his wife, Gail, Al spotted by chance an old sedan sitting in the back of their property. Stopping to take a closer look revealed a rarely seen 1933 McLaughlin Buick four-door that had been parked there for decades. A closer inspection showed the car was missing half of its interior, and its exterior was deteriorating from sitting in the elements. Within the car, Al saw the makings of an amazing wagon with its regal hood, cowl, lights, and flowing fenders. A deal was made, and the car was hauled home to begin its five-year metamorphosis.
Setting a game plan, Al disassembled the sedan, keeping only key components for the build. After deciding to retain the stock wheelbase, the original chassis was stripped and then boxed for additional strength while also being treated to custom owner-fabbed crossmembers. To dial in a low stance, a Fatman Fabrications four-link matched with Firestone 'bags, antiroll bar, and ACDelco tube shocks help suspend a GM 10-bolt rearend filled with 3.73:1 cogs in place. To bury the nose in the dirt, a Fatman Fabrications IFS with Firestone 'bags combined with ACDelco tube shocks and an antiroll bar get the job done. Adding plenty of stopping capability is a GM power master cylinder that pushes fluid through stainless lines to clamp down on 10-inch GM discs at each corner. A final bit of elegance comes from 17-inch chrome wires from Wheel Vintiques with custom caps and wearing Firestone Firehawk rubber.
Since Al drives his cars throughout the season, performance and dependability were of the utmost importance when he selected his powertrain. He chose a 1997 Corvette LT1 V-8 linked to a matching six-speed TREMEC trans to handle gear changes. Spent gases exit through Sanderson headers to a 2-1/2-inch steel exhaust matched to AP Exhaust Xlerator mufflers keeping it all legal.
When it came time to create and design the body, Al searched endlessly to locate a source for bird's-eye maple and structural wood. His quest led him to Bill Kraemer Veneers in New Albany, Indiana, for the bird's-eye maple and to Harris Enterprises in Manchester, Connecticut, for the structural wood. With everything needed at hand, he first incorporated a 2-inch chop to bring well-balanced proportions to the body and then laid out a structural wood base to work with. After sculpting the body and sanding it to perfection, it was time to have the sheetmetal massaged back to its original glory. T&J Autobody of East Hartford, Connecticut, got the nod to bring the vintage panels back to life as well as lay down a lustrous coating of PPG Honda black. Once the wood was treated to just the right amount of polyurethane, making it look like glass, Al began work on final assembly.
Accents like the original headlights and grille were treated to decadent plating by Paul's Chrome Work perfectly with the classic Model A bumpers anchoring both the front and rear of the car. For a comfy business office, a set of Cadillac CTS seats were modified and brought to Ken's Upholstery in Ellington, Connecticut, to be covered in butter soft beige leather while the floors were treated to matching Cadillac wool carpet. A Lecarra steering wheel helps navigate the course while VDO gauges sit in the factory dash with custom bird's-eye maple inserts, and Vintage Air keeps the interior comfy. The completed wagon is nothing short of a masterpiece, and it's a wonder why Buick never offered one like this to the public. To see Al and Gail laying down the miles on the open road only proves to us their work was worth it.

Fender N3 Noiseless pickups N3 Noiseless pickups deliver the best of yesterday and today, because they deliver landmark vintage Fender tone and response without the hum that can plague single-coil pickups. Using an improved stacked coil-coil design, N3 Noiseless pickups are specially tailored for each Telecaster pickup position. The insulated metal core of each pickup position type differs in thickness and composition for enhanced tone, and Fender has fine-tuned the sized, shape, and wire gauge of the coils to balance the magnetic responsiveness essential to great tone. N3 Noiseless pickups represent a welcome return to the warmth and clarity of alnico magnets. Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

|November 8
In 1960, Democrat John F. Kennedy wins the U.S. presidential election, beating Republican Richard M. Nixon by the narrowest popular-vote margin in modern times. Nixon supporters will claim for many years that Kennedy won with the help of vote fraud in Chicago which supposedly swung the state of Illinois his way and thus gave him the election. Kennedy backers will deny this and counter that even if Illinois had gone for Nixon he would still have lost in the electoral college. Kennedy's victory is marred by the fact that, by narrow margins, the GOP retains control of both House and Senate. The new president will face a hostile Congress.

Red X appears in place of shortcut symbol on desktop icons
I have a client who suddenly got a red X to appear on her desktop icons instead of the shortcut symbol. Everything seems to work fine, its just annoying more than anything. Any ideas on why this happened? I would assume if I went and deleted the shortcut symbols, the Xs would go away as well.

Sounds like your client may have used a program to modify/change the link arrow on shortcut icons, or followed Brink's tutorial here: Shortcut Arrow - Change, Remove, or Restore
|My System Specs
|13 Dec 2011
Vista 64 bit and 32 bit (SP2)
Did Brink's tutorial solve your problem? If not, here's another possible suggestion. Red X's often have something to do with Java. You might want to check with the Java (Sun) website to be sure your Java is working properly and that you have the latest version installed.
First, to see if you have a Java app currently working within your system, go to: Java + You Under the big red /Free Java Download' button in smaller print is a link to a Java scan called: "Do I have Java?" Let Java scan your machine and see what the results are. If the scan says your machine doesn't have Java installed click the option to install the latest Java version. If the scan says you already have a previous version of Java installed, you can go to Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall it.
Then, to find out if Java is working properly on your system visit: Test your Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and you can go to the Java website for the most recent Java downloads.
To check which version of Java you have, go to: Verify Java Version and Java Help.

Im starting to like Gov, Christie.
No, Christie is lashing out at hypocritical politicians (who happen to be Republicans) – not "everyone".
While I too am beginning to like Christie better, is this another case of "Get the federal government off my back." from conservatives?
Sigh! On the personal level I too like Christie, what's not to like, but I have to remind myself that he is heavily anti-union and a staunch conservative, cutting the state budget where it can hurt children and the poor. Never trust the looks of a guy, always check his record…
I used to live in Boehner's district. He's a misogynistic old coot (I'd use another term, but I'm trying to keep it family oriented, LOL). His main concern is what is good for Boehner, not what is good for the country.
So, let the roof cave in, let the bridge collapse etc.
Yet somehow American could afford to invade Iraq. Yet somehow America could afford to invade Afghanistan. Both on borrowed, un-bugeted money when, as cheney said, "deficits don't matter."
^ That's unfair. Mr. Cheny stated that deficits concerning THESE WARS didn't matter because he assumed America could plunder Iraq and get back our investment.
Then the damned UN stepped in and we weren't reinbursed.

The authors explored the relationship between ad lib caffeine
consumption in college students and the incidence of caffeinism,
characterized by heightened anxiety, depression, and various
psychophysiological reactions. Students were randomly selected from four
groups (abstainers from caffeine and low, moderate, and high consumers). A
survey battery assessed the effects of caffeine, incidence of
psychophysiological disorders, state-trait anxiety, and depression. The
moderate and high consumer groups combined reported significantly higher
trait anxiety and depression scores when compared with abstainers. The high
consumer group also reported significantly higher levels of symptoms of
caffeinism, higher frequency of psychophysiological disorders, and lower
academic performance.

Granite Countertops vs. Engineered Stone
Natural granite countertops might be your best choice if you do not mind the natural flaws. However, if you do not love the natural flaws in granite, then the engineered stone where all the flaws have been engineered out might be the best choice for you. However, you should really determine whether the engineered stone can really beat granite. After all, your kitchen needs a natural touch at least, to beat all that artificialness in color and other decors. You can check out some more information from Silestone Company and check out their great pictures too.
Why exactly should you consider what you get out of the market to bring home? What is engineered stone, slab granite and natural granite? While the answers are readily available online, the most important difference between granite and engineered stone is that granite is in its natural form, while engineered stone could be engineered quartz. In any case, quartz is "always" engineered while granite is in its natural for, but it too "can be" engineered.
Whatever you might think, the truth is that granite will always emerge tops in any array between the natural and engineered stones. The good thing is there is a lot of information online concerning all manner of countertops. You will be informed about just anything that you would want to know about. Quartz companies like Ceasarstone who deal in quartz countertops only or Silestone, also agree that a natural slab of granite is always a rung higher than the engineered quartz. In engineered stone, about 93% of natural quartz aggregates are mixed with 7% of color pigments and polymer resins. This takes care of the market at all levels. Engineered stone is about 50% more costly than the natural granite but again, it is wise to always remember that expensive is not always best.
While it would not be right to make the decision for you about your choice for either granite or engineered stone, the thing that you should bear in mind is that the engineered stone will always have that artificial touch about it. Natural granite on the other hand, will have its flaws standing out, but beautifully too. If you love everything about your kitchen to be natural, you can just buy the slab granite with out fear. It is not as if it will break apart any time. If you do the installation just right, your granite countertop will last a long time, with or without flaws.
Where will your get the granite? That should be easy to answer because granite companies teem all over the market. You will be virtually spoilt for choice if you are looking to install a granite countertop in your kitchen. If you are operating on a low budget, granite is the countertop to go for. After all, it is 50% cheaper and if you are careful about it it, it will last just as long as the engineered stone. One other good thing about granite is that there are no maintenance costs. Just keep it clean, reapply the sealant after six months and you will have it looking as good as new.

Close Duplicate Finder windows
I haven't made the script crash yet, but this is the kind of computer solution I like the most, I think. In former versions of Mac OS X you could press cmd-ctl-up arrow to open the parent of the current folder, then in the new window double-click then icon of the folder you were originally viewing, and the windows would reverse order. Now (Mtn. Lion) when you do that you just get a duplicate window. In other words, it's much easier to get duplicate windows now than it used to be. The fact that duplicate windows can exist at all represents a serious deprecation of the Mac OS since the classic Mac system, IMO. Of course, few people really care about that these days, I guess.

Artist's Statement: "Imagination, creativity, insight, and discovery are facilitated through visual stimuli in a place where connectiveness, shared consciousness, and realization of the will of the mind's eye coexist. Inspired by all-knowing and all-seeing inner realms, one can experience thoughts as colors, sounds as shapes, and nothingness as infinity."
Back in the primitive world of early computers and the first-ever color monitors, Mark Towns began experimenting with a crude Windows art program called Paintbrush to manipulate scanned photos and combine them with original detailed computer-assisted designs to create, in 1992, some of the world's first-ever digital art. Collections of these early digital works were subsequently displayed to rave reviews at various galleries and art spaces. After several years of being off of the market, these digital works are now being made available again as signed limited edition prints on canvas.

so good.
hi!! so, i was just telling myself that there will be more time next week, when e is back in school, and surely life slows down a bit, and that then i'll write a post (right...) but then i thought about some of the things i've been reading recently and how GOOD they've been. how much they've filled up my cup (or how hard they've made me laugh). and how much i would want to know about them if i hadn't stumbled upon them yet. how many times i've thought about them since i read them. brought them up in conversation. read them aloud to ryan. and so i'm here to share a few with you in hopes they might be a balm to your soul.
our little update is that this summer has been so, so good. our first one together as a family since ellie was born, and we've soaked it up in simple ways. we've mostly been here -- at the park, in our backyard, gathering tomatoes, spending evenings with dear friends, heading to the ocean, painting with ellie, doing a bit of nesting for the new little one, simplifying our home a bit more, sharing meals together. somehow it's almost september, i'm 29 weeks along with this little one (!!), fall hit the skies of virginia incredibly early this week (70 degrees in august is just incredible) and i'm feeling really hopeful about this next season. ryan checks out of his sea tour squadron this week, ellie begins another year at her sweet school soon, and every day we get closer to meeting this sweet little girl. life is full.
fill up your mug with coffee and settle in:
her writing just gets me. every. time.
a beautiful, poignant letter to her pre-mom self. amen.
i don't need much encouragement to be convinced a 740 sq foot house would be oh SO good -- having watched her work and admired her so, so much, this interview with elle rowley completely inspired me.
this video. so, so powerful. two things: the likelihood of you crying is pretty high, and you should have your subtitles on.
ok, so i realize this is likely a small group of you, but for those of you somehow connected to military aviation, my guess is your house has no shortage of memorabilia (ha!) -- that said, this design company that does pretty incredible posters for individual squadrons. ryan worked with them to design something for his current squadron and what they created was something i was excited to hang in our house! (we chose the canvas which i love the look of!)
and if you need a really good laugh, this jim gaffigan bit on having four kids pretty much is a nightly viewing in our house.
have a great week! xo

Ukraine inching back to the brink
Pro-Moscow protesters in eastern Ukraine took up arms in one city and declared a separatist republic in another yesterday and the new build-up of tensions continues this morning.
The Kiev government has launched what it calls "anti-terrorist" operations in the eastern city of Kharkiv and arrested about 70 separatists. Moscow has responded by demanding Kiev stop massing military forces in the south-east of the country.
Russia's own forces remain massed just over the border and Ukrainian President Oleksander Turchinov said Moscow was attempting to repeat "the Crimea scenario".
Washington has warned Vladimir Putin against moving "overtly or covertly" into eastern Ukraine and said there was strong evidence that pro-Russian demonstrators in the region were being paid.

****…I've gotta change my watermark! :P
There are several pieces in the ring collection that contain large polished corals, lapis, onyx, malachites, etc. that have significant curvature to them. Consequently they tend to reflect the soft box. The lighting setup is DESIGNED to do this to a certain degree, as it makes the piece look three-dimensional and highly-polished, rather than flat and plastic-looking. With each piece I put down, I fiddle with the position of the light to the extent necessary to make the shine mark on the stone as inconspicuous as possible while still allowing it to play the role it's meant to play. Some of these pieces I've shot a dozen times with the soft box in a different position in each shot in order to minimize the shine mark without totally changing the lighting and making that one piece look totally different than the rest. The interaction between the spot, the plexi, the soft box, and the reflector are pretty intricate, and if I'm not careful, the image just doesn't have the same look as everything else I've put out.
So the client calls me today and tells me the shine mark is unacceptable…that it takes away from the stone and the quality of the image. Yet I can't get rid of it in a way that allows all the images I'm creating to have a uniform look.
FBJ, i'm gonna have to hit you up for some tips soon... a friend of mine has asked me to do some jewelry work for her

Genre: Regency Period, England
The fabulously talented Karen Harbaugh dreams up a simply splendid conclusion to her innovative Cupid trilogy.
Time is running out for Cupid and his fellow deities. It has been a thousand years since his wife Psyche disappeared, and unless he can find her soon, the power of the gods will fade away and leave the world in turmoil.
But where can his beloved be? He knows that she has once again entered the cycle of mortal life and death. And he knows that she is in England somewhere. But how will he know her?
His only consolation is his friendship with Psyche, a young Regency miss he befriended when she was a little girl. Now a beautiful young lady, his wifes namesake fills his heart with a mixture of joy and yearning. Can he dare hope that he has found his love at last?
Ms. Harbaugh creates an exquisite Regency masterpiece spiced up by an irresistible touch of fantasy to make us sigh in utter delight. (Feb., 224 pp., $4.99)

Knut Fredrik IdestamAnswered by sumin, 22 Aug '07 02:05 pm
What is known today as Nokia was established in 1865 as a wood-pulp mill by Knut Fredrik Idestam on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids in the town of Tampere, in south-western Finland. The company was later relocated to Nokia by the Nokianvirta river, which had better resources for hydropower production. That's where the company also got its name that is still used today. The Nokia Corporation that was created in the 1967 fusion was involved in many sectors, producing at one time or another paper products, bicycle and car tyres, footwear (including Wellington boots), personal computers, communications cables, televisions, electricity production, capacitors, aluminium, etc. The seeds of the current incarnation of Nokia were planted with the founding of the electronics section of the cable division in the 1960s. In the 1967 fusion, that section was separated into its own division, and began manufacturing telecommunications equipment.Answered by Nirav D Desai, 22 Aug '07 08:59 am

continued "Ryan is one of my role models," Veverka said. "As a younger scout I watched the way Ryan acted and what he did. When he became an Eagle Scout it had an impact on me."
Veverka considers himself to be fortunate to be a scout in the Adirondacks.
"I love everything about scouting, especially the hiking and camping," he said. "We're so fortunate to live here. I've talked to scouts in the city (New York City) and they have to travel four hours to enjoy the outdoors. We have it in our backyard."
Veverka plans to stay involved in scouting.
"I hope to continue my scouting career," he said. "Being an Eagle Scout I'm in a position to influence younger scouts and help them along their journey to become an Eagle Scout."

A Lesson in Love

I have always prided myself on being a tough parent with strong values and beliefs. The odd wave of grief aside I'm always really happy with their progress, it just seems odd that over three years after the death of their mum I should suddenly feel like I'm not as 'in control' as I think I am.
Every week I'm going to introduce to you the five things I am most grateful for within those seven days; from words spoken by strangers, to actions that I've benefitted from by loved ones and anything in-between! It's a useful practice I picked up several years ago after learning the importance of gratitude from a book many of you will have read entitled The Secret.

CAMBRIDGE: Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking revealed his desire on Monday to make "real science as exciting as science fiction" as he launched a new children's book about the cosmos.
"It is easier to explain things to children because they have open minds and are eager to learn," he told reporters at the University of Cambridge, in England, where he is a professor.
Planned trilogy
George's Secret Key to the Universe, the first book in a planned trilogy, explains the workings of the Solar System, asteroids, black holes – one of Hawking's favourite topics – and other celestial bodies with the help of a set of young heroes.
It will be released in French on Thursday, and in English a week later, and is set to be sold in 29 countries. The second book in the trilogy will be published next year. The book was written with his daughter Lucy, who came up with the idea, and Christophe Galfard, the first Frenchman to write a doctorate thesis on Hawking's observations.
"Our aim is to make real science as exciting as science fiction," Hawking said.
Lucy Hawking, a journalist and writer, told the press conference that one of her father's common refrains was, "That's too much science fiction, we do science fact."
Science fact
The trio wanted to "provide a modern vision of cosmology from the Big Bang to the present day," without presenting it as magic, Galfard said. "All of what we see (in the universe) corresponds exactly to what has happened already," he added.
The sole element of fiction in the book involves supercomputer that opens a door allowing George and his friends to travel into space aboard an asteroid.
"I don't know of any other book quite like George's Secret Key to the Universe," Hawking, 65, said.
"I think we may be unique."
Hawking, who is Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge – a post once held by Sir Isaac Newton – suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. He was diagnosed with the muscle-wasting motor neuron illness at the age of 22. He is in a wheelchair and speaks with the aid of a computer and voice synthesizer.
His work has centered on theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity, looking at the nature of such subjects as space-time, the Big Bang theory and black holes.
Saving the planet
In April, he experienced weightlessness for the first time, with a zero gravity flight, on a modified jet. The so-called 'vomit comet' flies a roller coaster trajectory to create the impression of microgravity.
Asked about the choice facing the heroes in his book – saving the world from global warming or finding another planet that is habitable for humans – he said that, like George, he would opt to focus on both.
"I'm very worried that global warming might become self-sustaining and the temperature might continue to rise even if we cut (carbon) emissions. I hope we have not reached that point yet but it is urgent," he said.
"I think the human race doesn't have a future if we don't go into space. We need to expand our horizons beyond planet Earth … Sooner or later, disaster such as an asteroid collision or nuclear war, could wipe us all out."
