Mayday, also known as Air Crash Investigation or Air Crash Investigations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and Asia and Air Emergency, or, in the United States, Air Disasters, is a Canadian documentary television series produced by Cineflix that recounts air crashes, near-crashes, fires, hijackings, bombings and other flight-related disasters and crises. It reveals the events that led to each crisis or disaster, their causes as determined by the official investigating body or bodies (often the American NTSB, as most aircraft involved are of American origin) and the measures they recommended to prevent a similar incident happening again. The programs use re-enactments, interviews, eyewitness testimony, computer-generated imagery and, in some episodes, cockpit voice recordings to reconstruct sequences of events.
As of 31 August 2012[update], a total of 90 episodes of Mayday have aired, including five "Science of Disaster" specials and three "Crash Scene Investigation" spin-offs. A total of thirteen episodes are currently in production for Season 12, which premiered before filming ended on 3 August 2012.

|"The Heathrow Enigma"
|British Airways Flight 38
|7 March 2011[7]
On 17 January 2008, during short final, both of British Airways Flight 38's engines suddenly rolled back to idle. The Captain raised one notch of flaps which gave them a few more feet of flying distance. The aircraft passed over the A30 road and crashed just short of the runway. There were no fatalities, but 47 people sustained injuries. The fuel flow to both engines was restricted because of ice crystals causing a blockage in the fuel-oil heat exchangers (FOHE). Another similar incident occurred on 26 November 2008, when Delta Air Lines Flight 18's engines rolled back to idle at 39,000 feet. That Boeing 777 landed safely at Atlanta.

Type of aircraft: Airbus A320-233.
|"The Plane That Flew Too High"
|West Caribbean Airways Flight 708
|19 August 2011

Two attendees at the Republican National Convention were removed from the grounds after tossing nuts at a black camera operator for CNN and saying, "This is how we feed animals," the network said.
The incident occurred some time after Mitt Romney was nominated as the Republican candidate in the 2012 presidential election. As Talking Points Memo's David Taintor pointed out, "Remarkably few details about the particulars of the incident have emerged."
—Posted by Alexander Reed Kelly.
CNN, convention organizers, the RNC, and the managers of the venue itself have all either declined to provide more information about what exactly happened or have referred questions to one of the other entities involved.
It remains unknown whether the two attendees were delegates to the convention, which state delegation they were members of, whether they were forcibly removed from the arena, whether their convention credentials have been revoked, or whether they will be back in attendance today.

As US draws down, Afghan casualty toll rises
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan's civilian casualty toll has jumped this year as insurgents fight to recapture territory from the departing American-led coalition, a U.N. report showed on Wednesday.
The number of dead rose 14 percent, and wounded 28 percent, compared with January-June last year, UNAMA, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Afghanistan, said in its mid-year report.

Amazon offering AT&T's Nokia Lumia 1020 for $49 on contract
The camera-centric Nokia Lumia 1020 features a 41MP PureView camera on back with OIS for both still shots and video. And the rear snapper also captures 1080p video at 30fps. As for the rest of the specs, the device features a 4.5 inch AMOLED screen with resolution of 768 x 1280 which combines to present a pixel density of 334ppi. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Plus CPU with the Adreno 225 GPU. 2GB of RAM is on board along with 32GB of native storage. Unfortunately for a device that might be taking plenty of pictures and videos, there is no microSD slot available. A 1.2MP snapper adorns the front of the phone, which is powered by a 2000mAh battery.
If you find yourself using the camera more than any other feature on your smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020 can still meet your needs in that department. And at this price, it's a great deal. AT&T is also tossing in a $100 bill credit which means you're practically being paid to take this phone out of Amazon's inventory.
Since we have no idea when this offer will expire, you shouldn't wait too long before pressing the shutter on this deal.

I love medallion quilts!
I gathered together a bunch of coordinating colors and patterns and got started. I actually started this quilt top on the last retreat I went to in June.
I really do love chain piecing!
The pieces in the top were quite large, so it went together quickly!
The center medallion measured 45x45! I told you the pieces were large.
This is a king sized bed, so all I would do is widen the two inner borders to make it fit properly.
Details: 100x100

Now she is off to NFQ to be quilted. I wonder how they will quilt this lovely flimsy?

I may have freaked Rohan Maitzen out a bit saying I had tons to say because of her post on Christopher Beha's What Happened to Sophie Wilder, but I meant it when I said:
@RohanMaitzen No, really! It can be so clarifying to hear different reactions to qualities of the novel I agree about in many ways!
— nicole (@bibliographing) October 15, 2014
Perhaps the most fascinating—and clarifying—bit of Maitzen's criticism of Sophie Wilder was focused on the religious element of the novel. Maitzen compares Beha's treatment of religion and religious conversion unfavorably to George Eliot's, which "offers…more to think about, more to work with."
For instance, to me the account of Sophie's religious experience was a reedy echo (at best) of Maggie Tulliver's struggles with faith in The Mill on the Floss, where her passionate embrace of asceticism after reading Thomas à Kempis emerges from a rich narrative context including overt philosophical reflection on the needs religion meets for those who are suffering inexplicably. …Paradoxically, Eliot's religion — that is, the religion of her characters — seems more solid than Beha's, even though the tendency of her fiction is to replace sacred explanations with secular.
In doing so, she is of course making a decision about the fundamental split Beha's dual narration leaves unresolved. Do I perhaps prefer Eliot because of that — because that is my own outlook? Was I impatient — bored, even — by Sophie's religious struggles because they were left as religious struggles, not absorbed into other ways of thinking about the world?
Maitzen wonders if she likes Eliot's approach better because it conforms to her own preexisting religious opinions:
was my response to What Happened to Sophie Wilder a tacit form of resistance to Beha's apparent openness not just to religion in general (or some kind of vaguely embraced spirituality) but to Catholicism in particular? I have been trying to think of another contemporary novel with a genuinely religious protagonist that I did like — and Gilead comes to mind, so I don't think it's as simple as my unconsciously rejecting faith as a literary premise.
It's a question I have frequently asked myself: am I hopelessly prejudiced against literature that is open to religion? After all, I am probably the only reader ever to have hated Gilead (yes, really). And perhaps Maitzen has given me the key to answering this question for myself. It may be just that "religious struggles…left as religious struggles, not absorbed into other ways of thinking about the world" are the only ones I enjoy. I've not finished The Mill on the Floss, but Maitzen's description of Maggie Tulliver's religious experiences suggests I would not enjoy those bits of it. The black box of mysticism forestalls any urge I might have to disagree with or even interrogate Sophie Wilder's beliefs; they just are. And, being that she converts to Roman Catholicism and takes on the full dogma of that religion, I already know what those beliefs are—and, again, they just are. What she believes may make no sense to me, but her actions do, because they predictably follow from her beliefs—and I never have to walk through any attempts at nonmystical moral logicking with her that might rankle or irritate.
For similar reasons, I am not too bothered by what I agree is an unsatisfying passage covering Sophie's conversion. Sam Sacks is not wrong that religious conversion is "real," or in that it is "something that can be expressed in words because it's real, just as any other experience can be evoked through language." But expressing the fact of a conversion and expressing the religious experience of the conversion are two different things; I would not want Beha to attempt the latter. It is real only in that it is a real black box. That "George Eliot thinks religious belief needs explanation" may be her paradoxical weakness, for me.
So what was it that I did like so much? Well, "how the division into different narratives reflects different — perhaps incompatible — ideas about authorship and about purpose in narrative" was really the key for me. As George Michael Bluth might say, What Happened to Sophie Wilder is an awesome mind-puzzle. The resolution and tension of the two threads of narration and their conclusion is the whole point of the novel, for me, and the fun is all in slipping back and forth between them, deciding what is real-in-the-fiction (which fiction? see? awesome mind-puzzle!). It's been too long for me to say there were no passages where the writing seemed "flat" or "forced" to me, but I can say it didn't bother me at all that the characters were not the most substantial; their most important function for me was as concepts rather than people. And finally:
As for what actually happened to Sophie Wilder, well, my conclusion at the end was "not much," or at least not much that the book made richly present to me.
I've always thought it was notable that the title of What Happened to Sophie Wilder does not include a question mark. The reader is not being asked, but told, and told two conflicting versions of what happened. Are we to decide which is true? Are we to believe both? Those are the questions that fascinate me—not the question of "what actually happened to Sophie?"

This aptly named Glass House, designed by Thomas Roszak, is in the north suburbs of Chicago and follows the city's modern tradition embodied by Mies van der Rohe. The residence, designed for the architect and his family, is composed of two-story glass cubes, modules that can be added to over time as the need for space increases.
These exterior photos show how the cubes create an in-and-out stepping-in plan. They also hint at some of the color inside: Yellow beams can be seen in this photo.
This view across one of those notches reveals a skylight that brings light to a below-grade level. The structure is a mix of concrete (slabs, columns, beams) and steel (perpendicular beams, slab edges). The latter is painted an orange-yellow that combines with the red walls and wood floors to bring warmth to the interior.
The yellow beams direct the gaze in this photo toward the view, the green surroundings that become an integral part of living in the Glass House.
Some privacy and sunlight reduction come from the full-height horizontal louvers inside the glass walls.
This massive house in Phoenix, Arizona doubles, as a private museum. The design, by Jones Studio, places the art on a lower floor defined by rammed-earth walls. Above that floor are the living spaces.
What the architects call the "floating residential pavilion" is composed of clear glass walls behind a translucent screen that filters daylight and is a canvas for artificial lighting after sundown.
This stunning shot clearly shows the translucent screens, which are hung from the roof by thin cables. The sizable terracelike space between these screens and the inner glass wall is also apparent.
The house is very sleek inside, with even more reflections coming from walls perpendicular to the exterior; it is almost officelike. Note the gap between the two exterior walls and also the way the screen filters the daylight. The art from below poking its way into the house via a glass box is a nice touch.
This conversion and addition of a two-flat in the hip Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago incorporates a sizable glass wall on its rear elevation.
The design, by dSPACE Studio, makes this glass wall operable, lifting like a garage door to open the double-height living space to the backyard.
There are some windows on the sides, but this large glass wall is the main source of light for the living area. Note how rooftop access happens next to this operable wall: A mezzanine walkway leads to a door that opens to an exterior spiral stair.
This small addition, designed by Martin Holub, comprises a laundry room, a bathroom, a hot tub, and a lounge area. The angle of the roof and the windows creates a jewel-like design.
Even with the expansive glass wall comprising much of the addition, other openings can be found: a window opposite, a grid of six skylights and a few smaller openings cut out of the wood walls next to the hot tub.
The mix of these openings creates a kaleidoscopic effect as light enters the space. This certainly wouldn't happen without the tall glass wall on the right.

Two years ago the U.S. adopted international standards for regulating exhaust emissions from ships.
On Monday, the Coast Guard and Environmental Protection Agency agreed on what roles they will play in enforcing Annex VI of the International Convention for Prevention of Pollutions from Ships.
The Annex VI allows nations to establish "emission control areas" as a way of reducing nitrous and sulfur oxides, and particulate carbon from ships' exhaust that threaten public health. Vessels will be required to burn cleaner fuel inside the ECA, or install onboard systems to clean the exhaust from burning bunker fuel.
Environmental news from JOC:
Retailers, Environment Groups Unite to Cut Emissions .
Enforcement of the clean-air rules begins in 2012. Monday's agreement defines the division of labor between the Coast Guard and EPA to prevent possible overlap.
The Coast Guard's job will be to inspect vessels' engines for compliance during onboard inspections, said Wayne Lundy, and engineer with the Coast Guard's marine safety program.
Lundy said the memorandum of understanding "signals to the maritime community that far as onboard implementation, they will see a Coast Guard presence on ships, and not an EPA presence. It gives a comfort level to the maritime community. They're more accustomed to dealing with the Coast Guard."
If inspectors find that a marine engine is not in compliance, they will notify EPA and together the two agencies will determine how to enforce the standards. Vessels may be detained, and owners could face monetary penalties.
The U.S. in 2009 established its emission control boundaries 200 miles offshore on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Canada extended the zones into its waters.
Next month, the U.S. will propose an ECA for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands at the annual meeting of the International Maritime Organization's Marine Environment Protection Committee.

Hi Falko, sorry, but I went on hollidays and I have returned today.
My digital inclusion program creates mini telecom ISP in each municipality of the Rio de Janeiro State.
And as a telecom ISP I am worried about bandwidth consumption.
The dinamic caching is for the same reason than a static caching, but for some dinamic content, like youtube, orkut, myspaces, hi5, etc.
Lets say that, when a guy see a video from youtube the first time and he liked, he will send a link to their friends, their friend open the link and I have to download the video again.
I dont want to download the video again.
The same problem to orkut, myspaces and hi5.
Do you know any solution that could help me?
Thank Falko, and congratulation to your site
