Landscape by Jan Brueghel the Younger, painter; with figures by Frans Francken II, painter
Flemish, Antwerp, 1635
Oil on panel
20 3/4 x 32 in.
Four seated women representing water, air, earth, and fire are surrounded by a lush landscape. The fish flowing from the water jug and the cornucopia of abundance cradled in the arms of the figure on the right correspond to the tactile elements of water and earth. The birds in the sky and trees and the accoutrements of battle in the foreground correspond to the intangible elements of fire and air. The figures, the still life objects, and the landscape work together as a unified scene, yet two different artists worked to create this painting. Frequent collaborators, the skilled figure painter Frans Francken II painted the women and background figures, and Jan Brueghel the Younger described the landscape. Such collaboration between artists was common in Antwerp during the 1600s, as artists often specialized in either landscape or figure painting. Flemish artists of the time repeatedly painted representations of the four elements, suggesting that it was a popular subject with buyers. The widely admired Brueghel the Younger depicted the senses, the elements, or the seasons as allegories many times throughout his career, either together or individually, as in the pendant to this painting, Landscape with Ceres (Allegory of Earth).

Governor visits North Point High School; highlights fiscally responsible budget that protects investments in education, prepares students for the jobs of tomorrow
WALDORF, MD - Governor Martin O'Malley today, joined by students, educators and other officials, promoted the Administration's continued commitment to public education with a visit to North Point High School, a unique school with a rigorous academic program that promotes innovative skills and technical training to provide students with the tools they need for a highly-competitive 21st century workforce.
For an unprecedented five years in a row, Maryland's schools have been named #1 in the nation by Education Week Magazine. Even with more than $8.3 billion in spending cuts over seven years, the O'Malley-Brown Administration has maintained a strong commitment to Maryland's public schools, increasing its investments in public education by 51 percent since FY 2006 and proposing a record $6 billion in Maryland's public schools in FY 2014.
"Because of the better choices we've made together to invest in our children's future, we're able to continue our commitment to Maryland's number-one-in-the-nation public schools," said Governor O'Malley. "But we must continue to promote innovation in our classrooms to prepare our students for the jobs of tomorrow. That's why we're investing $7 million in this year's budget to accelerate the conversion of schools to comprehensive digital learning environments, support accelerated pathways for students seeking CTE or STEM training, and increase access to postsecondary education."
The proposed FY 2014 budget includes a $7 million investment in two new and innovative initiatives to give students the tools they need to compete:
Digital Learning Innovation Fund
To advance Maryland's efforts to harness the potential of new and emerging technologies, the Governor's proposed FY 2014 budget includes a $5 million investment in a Digital Learning Innovation Fund to provide resources to local school districts to accelerate their conversion to comprehensive digital learning environments. The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) will create competitive grants from the fund to be distributed to districts that propose the most compelling plans for conversion to digital learning. Separate competitions will be held for large and small districts to ensure that districts of varying size are selected for funding. Supported activities would include: provision of multimedia assets to students and teachers, differentiation of instruction to address diverse learning styles, differentiation of assignments and leveling of materials for students advancing at different paces, training and support to both educators and students, and offering more current information than traditional textbooks on an ongoing basis. The State and some districts have already instituted some digital learning, including shared purchasing, online courses, recovery courses, eReaders, ePortfolios and hardware conversions.
Early College Innovation Fund
The Administration remains committed to increasing access to postsecondary education and helping students obtain credentials that position them to compete for jobs in growing sectors of Maryland's economy. The Governor's proposed budget includes a $2 million investment to create an Early College Innovation Fund to support the expansion of early college access programs that provide accelerated pathways for students seeking career and technical education (CTE) or training in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Under the initiative, MSDE will generate competitive grants to fund partnerships of local school systems and higher education institutions to create early college high schools or other forms of early college access. The support would bridge funding intended to help eligible partnerships bear some of the start-up costs associated with creating new early college programs.
Priority would be given to proposals that launch early college high schools (also known as "middle colleges") focused on CTE or STEM and that provide students with credentials (in the form of degrees, certificates, and certifications, as appropriate) in fields for which there is high-demand in Maryland.
The state's most successful model for Early College High School is the Academy of Health Sciences, which was created in partnership with Prince George's County Public Schools and Prince George's Community College. Upon graduation each student earns both a high school diploma and an associate's degree in health sciences.

A monument in Odessa

Publication date
The Twelve Chairs (Russian: Двенадцать стульев, Dvenadtsat stulyev) is a classic satirical novel by the Odessan Soviet authors Ilf and Petrov, released in 1928. Its main character Ostap Bender reappears in the book's sequel The Little Golden Calf.
In the Soviet Union in 1927, a former member of the nobility, Ippolit Matveyevich Vorobyaninov, works as a desk clerk. His mother-in-law reveals on her deathbed that her family jewelry had been hidden from the Bolsheviks in one of the twelve chairs from the family's dining room set. Those chairs, along with all other personal property, had been expropriated by the government after the Russian Revolution. He becomes a treasure hunter, and after the "smooth operator" and con-man Ostap Bender forces Kisa ("Pussycat", Vorobyaninov's funny childhood nickname, which Bender prefers) to partner with him, they set off to track down the chairs. This ultimately helps Kisa, who doesn't possess Bender's charm and is not as street-smart.
The two "comrades" find the chair set which is put up for auction, but fail to buy it and afterwards find out that the set has been split up and sold individually. They are not alone in their quest. Father Fyodor took advantage of the deathbed confession, and has also set off to recover the fortune. In this search for Mme Petukhova's treasure, he becomes Vorobyaninov's main rival. While in this enterprise Ostap is in his element, Vorobyaninov is not as happy, and is steadily abandoning his principles and losing self-esteem.
Through the process of elimination, the two finally discover the location of the 12th and last chair, the one hopefully containing the treasure. To avoid splitting the loot, Vorobyaninov murders Ostap. He then discovers that the jewels have already been found and that they have been spent on erecting a new public building, and as a result goes insane.
The Twelve Chairs satirizes not only its central characters, but also the people and institutions they encounter: the operations of a Moscow newspaper, student housing, a provincial chess club, and so on. Bender represents values of the old order, egoism and individualism. He knows "four hundred comparatively honest ways of taking money away from the population" (Russian: "Четыреста сравнительно честных способов отъёма денег у населения"), and he has no future in the post revolutionary Soviet Union. Ilf and Petrov's observations on aspects of everyday life are comic, but shrewd.
The first cinema adaptation of the novel was the joint Polish-Czech film "Dvanáct křesel" (1933). The original plot was considerably altered yet many following adaptations were primarily based on this film rather than on the novel itself (e.g., the former marshal of nobility from the novel was replaced in the Polish-Czech film by a barber who then appeared in several later adaptations).
In Nazi Germany Dreizehn Stühle (13 Chairs)[1] was based on this novel in 1938. However, the authors of the novel remained uncredited (probably due to Ilf's Jewish origins).
The book also inspired the 1936 film Keep Your Seats, Please, directed by Monty Banks at Ealing Studios and starring George Formby. The action takes place in Britain and involves seven chairs, not twelve. The comedy It's in the Bag! (1945) starring Fred Allen and Jack Benny was very loosely based on the novel, using just five chairs. In 1957, a Brazilian version called "Thirteen Chairs" was made, starring the comedians Oscarito, Renata Fronzi and Zé Trindade. In this version, the main character, played by Oscarito, inherits his aunt's mansion, which is soon confiscated, leaving him with only 13 chairs. After selling them, he finds out that his aunt had hidden her fortune in the chairs. He then goes on a quest to have the chairs back. In 1962 Tomas Gutierrez Alea made a Cuban version titled "Las Doce Sillas" in a tropical context starkly similar to the Soviet one of the novel. Mel Brooks later made a film, more closely based on the novel, titled The Twelve Chairs (1970), but with a sanitized "happier" ending; the story also served as the basis for the film The Thirteen Chairs (1969) starring Sharon Tate. Shortly after, two adaptations were made in the USSR: a film in 1971 by Leonid Gaidai and a miniseries in 1976 by Mark Zakharov, featuring Andrei Mironov as Bender. In total, the novel inspired as many as twenty adaptations in Russia and abroad. See The Twelve Chairs (film) for more details on adaptations.

Karen's Blog inspires me when things get hard here in Istanbul. It is nice to have a peer to relate to as she shares her adventures. Many young folks pack up and leave their home countries to try this expat life...but fewer of us "of a certain age"! Thanks, Karen, for leading the way and showing me how it's done! So glad to know you...

I LOVE Karen's blog. Our paths crossed years ago when she lived in Michigan and I was as impressed then as I am now with her insightful, enthusiastic and intelligent views on life and experiences. When I found her blog a few months ago, I was delighted by its interesting content, gorgeous photos and it's eclectic mix of humor,reality and reflections. I love the example that she models for those of us who want to explore and experience unfamiliar parts of the world. I look forward to new posts as I vicariously (for now) travel with her.

Karens blogs are immersed in a place, which she adopted as her home away from home. She explores the benefits, challenges, and sensations of living in a foreign culture; the elusive meaning of home; and, ultimately, what it means to be human in this big world. She shares her experiences with her foreign friends and enlightens us all on different and facinating cultures.

What started out as a Czech Republic blog has become a Turkey blog & I've travelled with Karen via this blog all the way, ever since Karen & I first met in person in Prague four years ago. I particularly enjoy her insights into the culture & people of Turkey & when she writes about her own native America, as she sees it now, living as an expat outside of it's borders.

A bill in the state legislature would order the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to submit a report by Feb. 1, 2014, on the mechanics of establishing a bear hunting season through a lottery program.

The advantages of DAF ITS
Whenever a call comes in, ITS does not just contact the dealer or service point that will provide the assistance, but also the dealer where the vehicle is normally serviced. This enables the ITS operator to immediately organise a guarantee of payment, so that the driver does not need to worry about financial matters. It goes without saying that ITS also alerts the driver's home base, if this has not already been done, and keeps the company up to date on the progress of the repairs.
In consultation with the operator, who is continually updated on any developments, it can also be decided whether to order a replacement truck or to arrange express delivery of a part that the dealer happens not to have in stock. Throughout the whole of Europe, ITS boasts an extensive and well-distributed network of around 1100 DAF dealers and service points. DAF customers can be assured of prompt assistance in the event of a breakdown or accident in no less than 49 countries - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Anyone calling the DAF ITS number (+31 40 214 30 00) today is answered by one of the ITS operators, each of whom speaks at least six languages. These ITS operators can offer drivers assistance in a total of ten different languages. Modern computer equipment ensures that the nearest DAF service point to the stranded vehicle can be determined extremely quickly. The speed of response has always been one of the great strengths of ITS. After all, the sooner a truck is back on the road, the better. What's more, assistance is not limited just to the vehicle itself - help is also provided for the trailer, the superstructure or even the driver.
By the late 60s and early 70s, international road transport had already taken off in a big way. DAF drivers who had been stranded due to a breakdown or accident would call the DAF headquarters in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and usually spoke to someone from the "International Sales" department. They were always offered help immediately, but the need for a structured and professional way to deal with these calls led to the creation in 1972 of ITS (International Truck Service), which at the time was unique in the field of commercial vehicles.

HTC Puccini 10-inch tablet screenshots leaked out
The tablet will probably feature Qualcomm's third-generation MSM8660 chipset clocked at the impressive 1.5GHz and if that doesn't mean much to you, why don't you check out the benchmark cracking performance of the dual-core MSM8660 silicon demoed by the company mere weeks ago? Real-life scenarios of using the silicon muscle include handling 1080p full HD videos and HTML5 playback, which both ran without a hitch. Unfortunately, we run into a paradox here because out of the whole MSM8x60 family of processors, only the MSM8960 chipset supports LTE connectivity. Will the HTC Puccini rely on AT&T's HSPA+ network instead of using its future LTE pipelines?
Bear in mind that all this information is preliminary and that the tablet's final hardware profile might undergo some changes. We will keep our fingers crossed in hope of hearing a solid confirmation from HTC soon.

even though it's Sense it looks like a down grade from the stock Honeycomb experience.
6. JaimeCarlos (Posts: 25; Member since: 17 Feb 2011)
HTC Sense is amazing but I agree with you. With tablets is better a minimalist UI.
8. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
ya this looks pretty bad.. but it doesnt even look like honeycomb... it has no action bar no recent apps nor the notifications bar at the bottom...
9. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
we finally agree to something Lucas. xD
11. Chris G (unregistered)
What about a toggle switch? Of course this could come in ice cream sandwhich. Where you can switch between stock UI and Sense. There are some Sense fans like my self who cant stand the stock android UI. This way everyone is happy.
2. Evan (unregistered)
not everyone likes the honeycomb UI...Id rather have the old type of UI. Something simpler.
3. TechDroid (unregistered)
I don't think that this is honeycomb, because you don't have the action bar at the top or the status bar at the bottom. Looks great though :)
5. fairly_mismatched (unregistered)
I thought they said this was going to AT&T? Seems like it'd be Sprint or or Verizon if it has the MSM8660 in it... "The MSM8x60 family of processors is made with 45-nm technology and comes in three versions: MSM8260 for GSM networks, MSM8660 for CDMA carriers and MSM8960 for LTE."

eeeeeeeeeeee... doesn't feel like honeycomb

have reached the age where I am begrudgingly beginning to admit
that I am no longer a kid anymore. This forlorn realization, which
good friends and good drink are unable to long quell, brings with
it the fearful realization that I need to think about the time I
will not be able to work, that blissful utopia that all WASP males
and others refer to as retirement.
mathematical education that I obtained while I was earning degrees
in engineering, coupled with the fact that most of my mail comes
from Bill, i.e., phone Bill, gas Bill, etc., have enabled me to
realize that to retire I must have more than my wits, I must have
money. So in an effort to ensure a diet of something other than
Alpo in my golden years, I have set out to educate myself in investments
that will enable me to eat real people food when that day comes.
popular wisdom is to invest in the stock market, and the common
mantras are "invest for the long term" and "diversify,
diversify." It is as if they all went to some 3-day cookie
cutter investment school where they all learned the same canned
answers that always apply regardless of the investor and regardless
of the market. Even given the fact that the market has been diving
like a peregrine falcon after a pigeon, they still insist the best
plan is to put your money in the stock market.
even though I have done only a little rocket science in my life,
I can still recognize that holding my money in savings at 2% interest
is better than putting it in a mutual fund that is currently operating
at –20% interest!! If the market ever looks like it will improve,
I can always put the money in savings into it then. For some reason,
this fact seems to escape many financial advisors. I fear part of
it is the fact that these advisors have always been pounded with
the statement that "historically, the stock market returns
a masters degree in engineering pretty much qualifies me as a math
nerd, so I therefore decided to pull the historical data on the
S&P 500 and see about this great rate of return. What I discovered
was less than comforting. Much less?
chart below is of the S&P 500 values on a month-to-month basis
from 1871 to the present. It is presented in a logarithmic chart
as are most charts depicting stock prices. Now the wonderful thing
about a logarithmic chart is that the effective interest rate is
the equivalent to the slope of the graph. The slope of the line
is simply how much the value increases for a given time. If you
recall high school algebra the slope of a line is the rise over
the run, in this case, the rise is the value, the run is the time.
The steeper the slope the greater the interest rate.
with the simple fact we can deduce some truths from the graph. Truth
#1 the slope, and therefore the effective rate of return changes
with time. Truth #2 each positive slope (bull market) is followed
by a negative slope (bear market). Truth #3 each bear market (with
few exceptions) is significantly steeper than the bull market that
preceded it. Truth #4 sometimes the amount of time it takes for
the market to significantly advance is decades. These truths coupled
with the fact that a worker only has a window of 20 to 40 years,
should dispel the idea that the stock market is going to net him
12% or even 10% annually on average. It may, but there is no guarantee.
running some of the numbers to calculate effective interest rate
intensifies the light that we can shine on the subject. Given the
fact that mutual funds are a relatively recent invention it would
have been impossible for the little guy to have actually invested
broadly in the market at its inception and through most of its history.
That fact aside, we can glean some knowledge of market trends if
we consider the possibility of having invested in each of the stocks
making up the S&P. If we had done so, the average value of the
stocks in our portfolio would be represented by the S&P.
1871 the value of the S&P was $4.40, if we start with that number
and imagine that we invested at that time we can see what our average
interest rate would be if we sell the stock at various times through
history. If we withdrew it 30 years later it would be worth $6.01,
a whopping 1% annual rate (not great for planning a retirement).
If we were to hold it until right before the crash of 1929 it would
be worth $30.3 giving us a rate of return over 58 years of 3.4%.
If we were to have held it until after the crash the worth would
only be $4.77 yielding a 0.01% interest.
are probably now saying to themselves "that's ancient history,
things are different now." That's true. Things are different
now, yet some things are still the same. The market still follows
supply and demand, the market is still ultimately based on the economy,
etc. Indeed some things have changed, unfortunately, some of the
things that have changed may well end up making the scenario worse
than better. Going back to our imaginary 1871 investment, if we
were to have held it until the peak of the bull market in 2000 the
stock would be worth $1485 with a return of 4.6%. Still not that
great if you want to beat inflation. Better get used to fighting
Fido for dinner.
again I am plumbing history to get these numbers, so lets step into
the post-crash era and see what we can learn. If we invest at the
bottom of the crash in 1932 we can pick up stock at $4.77. At the
peak in 2000 our stock would be $1485, yielding an average annual
return of 8.8%. Looking backwards from the peak in 2000 we can say
that the average rate of return on the S&P was 8.8% for the
preceding 64 years and only 4.6% for the preceding 129 years. Notice
that anyone investing in the top of the bear market post 1929 has
many years before there is ANY increase. This fact should be very
troublesome to anyone considering broad based mutual funds in the
current bear market.
give the market the benefit of the doubt in regards to his entire
history and focus our attention on very recent history. As I am
looking at retirement in 30 years, that's a good time frame for
me to look at. If I look at the peak of the S&P and go back
30 years to 1970, I find stocks at $75.59, holding these stocks
until 2000 would have given me an average return of 10.4% annually,
something I could definitely live with, if I thought that trend
would continue. Visually examining the graph in these later days
shows that the early 70's were pretty stagnant until 1974, at which
time they increased impressively until the crash of '87, they recovered
quickly then started a rocket ride in the mid 90's.
with a concern for their future would be asking the question "why
the increase in the last part of the century?" I did, and I
am afraid at least part of the answer offers about as much comfort
as homeland security. My friend Gary North recently
advised me to read the book Rich
dads Prophecy by Robert Kiyosaki. In the book, he reveals
that in 1974 congress passed ERISA. This act ultimately led to the
demise of defined benefit retirement plans and many people entering
the stock market through their 401(k)s. The law allowed workers
to invest tax deferred money into the market and enabled employers
to do away with defined benefit plans and to replace them with defined
contribution plans.
This led to lots more money flowing into the stock market.
changes to the act during the late seventies and early 80's led
to even more investing in the market through 401(k) plans. This
fact helps explain the rapid growth of the market throughout the
80's. When the 90's arrived the baby busters entered the work force,
the baby boomers started worrying more about retirement, and both
groups notice the recent successes of the market. As a result of
that, and other things, the market skyrocketed in the later half
of the 90's. The slope of the curve during this period is extremely
similar to the slope during the 20's immediately preceding the crash
of '29.
I have not even mentioned the effect of the inflated money supply;
that subject has already been hammered elsewhere. One effect we
may notice in the constant dropping of interest rates is the fact
that the downward slope of the crash is not as steep as it was after
the crash of 1929. If the market truly is simply correcting itself,
then these steps are only making the bear market last longer.
point brought up in Kyosaki's book is that in 2016 the baby boomers
will begin to retire. At this point money will begin to flow out
of the stock market. Just as those individuals inflated the stock
market in during the latter part of this century by putting money
into it, they will deflate the market when they begin taking the
money out of it. Once they reach a certain age they are REQUIRED
BY LAW to begin taking minimum disbursements out of their accounts.
This is so that the government can finally tax them for the money
they were unable to tax after ERISA was passed.
stock market is not the cure-all for retirement that many in this
country would believe. As I begin to look at it, getting into the
stock market seems analogous to going into the bush after dangerous
game; you better have done your homework, and you better have the
right equipment. If you don't you run a high chance of getting eaten.
If you have a financial advisor that advises you to "hold"
to "think long term" and to "diversify," find
another one. Show him this graph and point out the last time we
had a bull market, bear market combination like this, it took decades
to get it back.
is another great example of Federal policy and unintended consequences.
Because of the high tax rates we have experienced, and because one
of the few places the average worker can have money that will not
be taxed is 401(k)s, we have an inflated market. And because of
this when these people are forced to take their money out beginning
in 2016, we will have a deflated market. If this holds true we may
see the greatest crash to date.

2012 Honda Legend/Acura RL Rendering
Posted by on September 26th, 2010 1 comment
Road & Track blogger Sam Mitani has featured a rendered speculation of the next generation Honda Legend/Acura Legend on his blog.
The design doesn't look bad, but it doesn't really knock my socks off either. I'm not sure where the image originated from, possibly just a Japanese magazine scan so I wouldn't take the rendering too seriously.
There has been a lot of talk about the new third generation Acura RL rumored for 2012. Obviously a redesign is in order but there is a possibility of a new large hybrid engine.

Darlington Native, William Blackmon, author of "The Feather Keeper" Wins GOLDEN CRESCENT AWARD at Charleston International Film Festival 2011, for best screenplay!
William Blackmon is a native of the Pee Dee
region of South Carolina. He is a former U.S. Army officer and a graduate of Francis Marion University. He currently works as a contractor for government agencies and civilian companies operating in the Middle East and Southwest Asia. After publishing his Novel, The Feather Keeper, the first n a series of SIX books, William wrote a screenplay version and submitted it to the Charleston International Film Festival, May 2011. Much to his delight and suprise his screenplay was picked from over forty finalists as the Best Screenplay and was awarded the Golden Crescent award for his efforts! William is now hoping to see his book come to life in a feature length movie!
Synopsis of Book/Screenplay
John Two-Feather and his two cousins, Samuel and Joseph King, are the grandsons
of Navajo singer and medicine man John King. As boys growing up on the reservation in
New Mexico, they listened to their grandfather's heroic tales of the heroes of the Navajo
or Diné. Their most favorite story of all was called "The Two Who Come to Their Father,"
the story of the Navajo twin heroes known as the Feather Keepers.
In the myth, the hero twins journeyed out to find their father, the Sun, so that
he will give them the skills and weapons to protect their people. Overcoming many trials
along the way, the twins find their father and convince him to give them the gifts to combat
their enemies. Returning to their village as powerful warriors, the twins undertake the
destruction of the monsters that plague their people. But what John and his cousins did not
know as they listened to the childhood tales was that their grandfather, the existing Feather
Keeper, was preparing them for their hero's journey.
Now, armed with the "gifts of ages," the three work as part of a clandestine U.S.
government program known as AGHIA. After a failed U.S. operation to capture terrorist
Hussein Al Rahabi, the three Navajo cousins adventure into the war-torn wilds of Zabul,
Afghanistan, to find Al Rahabi and stop his uncle's powerful Taliban army from retaking
the province and overrunning the tiny military outpost built there. In the process, the new
Feather Keeper will be made.

An Appeal
Courage and bravery are strange things. The blogosphere often covers heroic acts and sometimes questions acts that win medals. Sometimes actions are simply reckless disregard for safety, brought on by the red mist of rage and/or stupidity. Are they really brave? My father always said the bravest men he ever saw were the Sappers who walked slowly in front of the tanks on the first thrust of El Alamein clearing the mines, in the midst of a fearsome battle. Real bravery is knowing the peril and in cold blood ignoring it.
My thoughts are on courage today, not because of some military reason, but because of the most courageous bunch of people I am privileged to know. They are the mums of disabled children. It is every parents nightmare, after their baby is born, to be taken down to the room at the end of the corridor, tea and biscuits and the Registrar gently explaining what some words you have never heard of before mean. Every morning as the children grow up the mums have to face whatever problems the child has and do what they can. They watch other children playing and other mums laughing and their child can't join in and they want to cry inside. But they don't, they smile and work harder so their special child can enjoy life. It is a special type of courage to keep going every day, being brave and not giving up.
Twenty-five years ago in Devizes, my local town, a group of such mums got together and founded an Opportunity Centre. This charity has a purpose-built building with a team of specialist staff who help the children and the parents do the best they can. Some of the children go onto normal education and life, some only get so far and some aren't expected to become adults. And it is not only the children who are helped it is also the mums, getting together with others in the same situation keeps them sane and cheerful.
They are a great bunch.
So here's the deal - On May 2nd 2004 there is a Neolithic Marathon from Avebury to Stonehenge. It is 26 miles across Wiltshire. I don't intend to run it but I will walk it, if I get some promises of some sponsors for the Opportunity Centre. Remember it is too far, I'm too fat and forty-two but I will give it a go. If you can help in however small a way, I will really appreciate it, and if you want to join me in the walk you would be very welcome.
The donate button on the right sidebar is for this appeal, but a promise or a word of encouragement would be great for now – and if you can spread the word, please do, let's show what Bloggers can do!

Today we take a day off from future outlook, projections, uncertainties, and all that. Today, like good engineers, we look at the facts. And we start with natural gas at ambient temperature and pressure.
Natural gas is primarily methane, with small portions of heavier gases. Methane is a hydrocarbon gas with formula CH4, i.e. it is one carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms in the molecule. This formula is important to remember when we get to the environmental comparison to other hydrocarbons. Some properties of methane (ref Wolfram Alpha):
- Molecular weight: 16.0425 g/mol
- Density: 6.67151*10^-4 g/cm3
- Boiling point: -161,48 degrees celsius
- Vapor density: 0.55 relative to air
Since what we need the natural gas for is to produce energy, we are particularly interested in the heat of combustion values (ref Wikipedia):
- Specific heat of combustion for natural gas 54 kJ/g
- Specific heat of combustion for gasoline 47 kJ/g
- Specific heat of combustion for diesel 45 kJ/g
So, clearly natural gas offers more energy per mass than the other common fuels.
Back to the molecule. The basic hydrocarbon molecules are chains of carbon atoms connected together, and hydrogen atoms connected to the free spots along the chain. Then, by simple math, we see that with only one carbon atom in the chain you get the best ratio of hydrogen atoms per carbon atoms in the molecule. This translates directly into less CO2 produced in the combustion, simply because there are fewer carbon atoms available.
The emission reductions compared to oil products will broadly speaking be as follows, but this is dependent not only on basic chemical properties, but also on engine technology, combustion characteristics, etc:
- NOx: 85% reduction
- SOx: ~100% reduction
- Particles: ~100% reduction
- CO2: 15-20% reduction
So what has LNG got to do with this? LNG is just a transportation mode, it is not a separate source of energy, it is simply natural gas made liquid for transportation phase, It is regasified before it is used. The reason why it is made liquid is that methane requires 600 times more volume in gas phase than in liquid phase. Hence it is much more efficient to transport it in liquid phase.
In order to get the methane into liquid phase it needs to be cooled down below its boiling temperature of -161 degrees celsius. The LNG is transported at this temperature and at atmospheric pressure. This means the liquid methane is continously boiling during the transportation, and as long as the vaporized gas is released from the tank the pressure will not increase. This is just like boiling water at 100 degrees celsius; the temperature will not increase above 100 degrees, but there will be less and less water left in the pan.
Finally, we better touch upon the safety related properties of LNG. It is important to understand that LNG can not explode or burn. LNG first needs to evaporate and mix with air in gas phase. So if there is a leak and the vapour cloud mixes with air it will form an ignitable cloud when the mix contains between 5 and 15 % methane. Below 5% mix will not be enough too ignite, and above 15% will too much to ignite. Also, in order to get an explosion, instead of just a fire, the vapour cloud needs to be contained in an enclosed area.
There is much more details to discuss on each of the topics above, but this post was intended to be a quick intro, so I think we stop here.

Perfect place to stay if you need to be close to airport.. Directions to get there were excellent and easy to follow. We had a lovely big room with a comfortable bed and good bathroom. Kitchen is adequate to get own breakfast. Wifi free for one hour and works well, but if internet is important, best to check first as this may be changing.

Iftikhar further said that the K-P government will continue taking special measures to provide maximum relief under the Bacha Khapal Rozgar and Pukhtukhwa Hunarmand Rozgar schemes.
The cabinet, he said, also gave a nod for the establishment of the Institute of Peace and Conflict Management. He further said that the institute will impart training to people on tackling war or conflict scenarios.
The minister claimed that the meeting also approved a strategy for bringing transparency in provincial financial matters.
Mian Iftikhar said that Rs200 billion have been spent on uplift schemes across the province despite a wave of terrorism.
The minister went on to add that the new policies and reforms will enhance the performance of health and education sectors at district levels. "We have also decided to set up internal audit units inside the state-run departments to make them deliver on all fronts within the domains of available resources," he said.
Iftikhar said that cabinet members also deliberated upon the reforms for seminaries, saying they agreed to refer the matter to the concerned committee for further deliberations and discussions.
The minister said they also approved an amendment in the 1993 act pertaining to the renaming of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
