Living Systems PRESENTED BY IVOR BROWNE Ancient Greece Western thinkers seem to presume the first real development of philosophical thought originated in ancient Greece The sages and mystics in India and China had already developed sophisticated philosophical insights several thousand years earlier. Heraclitus "Logos" - A transcendent principle governing the cosmos. All things are in constant flux but, at a deeper level everything is balanced by its opposite - all opposites ultimately constitute a unity This is similar to the ancient Taoist concept. Plato. The universe was ordered by a plurality of "timeless essences" which underlay concrete reality giving it form and meaning. "the fundamentals of existence are the archetypal ideas which constitute the intangible substrate of all that is tangible". (Tarnas) HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE LEUCIPPUS AND DEMOCRITUS (5TH CENTURY B.C.) The physical world is constituted by an infinite number of indivisible corpuscles moving randomly in an infinite void, - atoms. Historical perspective – "Indian atomism was certainly independent of Greek influence, for an atomic theory was taught by Pakudha Katyayana, an older contemporary of the Buddha, and was therefore earlier than Democratus….but the atomic theories of ancient India are brilliant imaginative explanations of the physical structure of the world". However, beyond this, ancient Indian physics developed little as their primary interests were directed elsewhere." (A.L.Basham) Aristotle Achieved a partial synthesis of these two deeply divergent views. He turned Plato"s ideas upside down - a substance is not simply a unit of matter but is an intelligible structure or form embodied in matter. The form does not exist independently of its material embodiment, but it is the form which gives to the substance its distinctive essence; Aristotle"s four principles, or causes of all phenomena; i.e. Form, Matter, Process and Meaning. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Copernicus Nicolas (1473 - 1543) Overthrew geocentric view Earth no longer the centre of the universe Kepler Johannes (1571 - 1630) Scientist and mathematician Developed laws of motion of the planets THE RENAISSANCE Gallileo:- "Scientists should restrict themselves to the essential properties of material bodies – size, shape, number, weight and motion. Only by means of an exclusively quantitative analysis could science attain certain knowledge of the world". R.D.Laing "Gallileo"s programme offers us a dead world: out goes sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, and along with them have since gone aesthetic and ethical sensibility, values, quality, soul, consciousness, spirit. Experience as such is cast out of the realm of scientific discourse. Hardly anything has changed our world more during the past 400 years than Gallileo"s audacious programme. We had to destroy the world in theory before we could destroy it in practice". HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Bacon Francis (1561 - 1626) The goal of science is knowledge that can be used to dominate and control nature. Nature had to be: "hounded in her wanderings" "bound into service" "made a "slave"" Bacon had to: "torture nature"s secrets from her." HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Descartes Rene (1596 - 1650) Analysis - Reductionism The "Whole" is explained by understanding the parts and material of which it is made. Mind and body - Separate "there is nothing included in the concept of body that belongs to the mind; and nothing in that of the mind that belongs to the body" "I think, therefore I am" ("cogito ergo sum") (I am, therefore I think - Chariji) Isaac Newton Mechanistic view of nature The universe is a machine (a giant clockwork) Human beings are also machines Differential calculus Saw time as a separate dimension, which was absolute, having no connection with the material world. Mechanistic view . From the second half of the 17th century to the end of the 19th century the Newtonian, mechanistic model of the universe dominated all scientific thought. By the 19th century God"s creation of the world had dropped out of the picture. It was felt that it was only a matter of time until a complete scientific understanding of the entire universe would be attained. Newtonian Physics The natural sciences as well as the humanities and social sciences all accepted this mechanistic view, as the correct description of reality and modelled their own theories accordingly. To this day whenever psychologists, sociologists, or economists want to be scientific they always turn to these basic concepts of Newtonian physics and base their research on them. It made possible the extraordinary technological achievements which we see all around us in the world today. TUNNEL VISION The mechanistic scientific paradigm realises its final arrogant expression in the work of people like Stephen Pinker or Richard Dawkins. In the latter"s recent book "The God Delusion" he fails to even mention, and appears to be unaware of any of the recent, genuine scientific developments which I am attempting to describe here. . Scientific "Paradigms" Thomas Kuhn defined a scientific "Paradigm" as: "a constellation of achievements - concepts, values, techniques, etc. - shared by a scientific community to define legitimate problems and solutions" Science, like the evolution of life tends to move by fits and starts - "paradigm shifts". Far from subjecting the existing paradigm to constant testing, scientists avoid contradicting it by reinterpreting conflicting data to support it, or by neglecting such awkward data altogether. Paradigm shift These innovative developments are chipping away at the periphery of the main mechanistic scientific model. As more and more data accumulates which doesn"t fit, sooner or later the old model must burst its banks and a "paradigm shift" will occur. These are only glimpses of what is to come, seen "as through a glass darkly" (St. Paul). Turning Point Thermodynamics (1824) "The Science of Complexity" First great break with static, reversible world and classical dynamics. First Law - Conservation of Energy Second Law - Any isolated, (closed) physical system will proceed spontaneously in the direction of ever-increasing disorder. (Sadi Carnot -1824). "Entropy" - a measure of disorder (Rudolf Clausius - 1850) Turning Point Irreversible Thermodynamic Change A change towards states of increasing probability In any isolated system the entropy (disorder) will keep increasing until the system reaches a state of maximum equilibrium (Boltzmann - 1844-1906) Irreversibility "The Arrow of Time" - (Eddington) The new physics . In 1905 Albert Einstein produced two papers. One dealt with the theory of relativity and the other with a new way of looking at electromagnetic radiation which was to form the foundation of quantum theory. The material world, which had been viewed as a comfortably ticking clockwork mechanism, was now transformed into a complex of indeterminate, interweaving and interdependent relationships. Heisenberg - in Quantum Physics everything is interconnected. The New Physics Max Planck, Heisenberg, Neils Bohr (Quantum Physicists) Intentionality Subjectivity Human observer Consiousnes s Interrelations - not separate entities Three scientific world views 1. Matter is primary and energy is secondary to this. (Newton) 2. Matter and Energy are equivalent and are interchangeable. (Einstein) 3. Energy is primary and what we call Matter is simply organised energy. (Heisenberg) (Schwartz's) The New Physics " The material world, according to contemporary physics, is not a mechanical system made of separate objects, but rather appears as a complex web of relationships. Subatomic particles cannot be understood as isolated, separate entities, but have to be seen as interconnections, or correlations, in a network of events. The notion of separate objects has no fundamental validity. All such objects are patterns in an inseparable cosmic process, and these patterns are intrinsically dynamic." - Fritjof Capra The living world Ever since antiquity there was the idea of a great chain of being - a static hierarchy with God at the top and descending through angels, human beings, and animals to ever lower forms of life. Nothing had changed since the day of their creation. It was Lamarck rather than Darwin who first put forward a coherent theory of evolution. The living world "Lamarck, probably the greatest biologist in history, turned that ladder of explanation upside down. He was the man who said it starts with the infusoria and that there were changes leading up to man." (Gregory Bateson) He had the remarkable intuition that all living creatures had evolved under environmental pressure from simpler forms. The living world Charles Darwin (1859) " the Origin of Species". 12 years later " The Descent of Man". He too accepted the idea of "acquired characteristics", but based his theory mainly on the concept of random mutation and natural selection. This became the corner stone of modern evolutionary theory. "chance alone is at the source of every innovation, of all creation in the biosphere. (Jacque Monod) Epigenetics Watson and Crick - established DNA as the molecule that holds the secrets of life - "The Master Molecule". The "central dogma" formulated by Crick in 1957: "DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, and proteins make us". Watson - "We used to think that our fate was in the stars. Now we know, in large measure, our fat is in our genes." Epigenetics (cont.) "Every molecular biologist now knows, the secrets of life have proven to be vastly more complex, and more confusing, than they had seemed in the 1960s and "70s," (Keller) "The notion of an isolatable, constant gene that can be patented as an invention for all the marvellous things it can do is the greatest reductionist myth ever perpetrated ...There is no simple, linear, one- directional instruction proceeding from the gene to RNA to protein."(Mae-Wan Ho) – . Epigenetics (cont.) Research work in isolated areas in Northern Sweden suggests that genes have a "memory". That the lives of our grandparents can directly affect one decades later. Epigenetics proposes a control system of "switches" that turn genes on and off – and suggests that things people experience, like nutrition and stress, can control these switches and cause heritable effects in humans. "Cell heredity, both nuclear and cytoplasmic, always must be considered for the entire cell, the entire organism." (Margulis) Epigenetics (cont.) "Lamarck"s theory - is of transformation arising from the organism"s own activities and experience of its environment. This requires a conception of the organism as an active, autonomous being, which is open to the environment. It would seem now that biological form and behaviour are emergent properties of the epigenetic network. (Mae- Wan Ho) The Living World Teilhard de Chardin (1881 - 1955) "On the one hand we have in physics a matter which slides irresistibly, following the line of least resistance, in the direction of the most probable forms of distribution. And on the other hand, we have in biology the same matter drifting (no less irresistibly, but in this case in a sort of "greater effort" for survival) towards ever more improbable, because ever more complex, forms of arrangement" The Living World Teilhard de Chardin (1881 - 1955) Reverse the values Two different energies Linked together in "arrangement" Operating at different levels The Living World Teilhard de Chardin (1881 - 1955) Increasing complexity Rise of consciousness Human beings "pressing up against" one another cover the planet with a web of ideas - "Noopshere" Systems Causality Reductionist PART WHOLE Systemic PART WHOLE Conventional science Believe Systems:- Reductionism - the whole explained by the parts. Determinism - The doctrine that all events including human actions and choices are fully determined by preceding events, so that freedom of choice is illusory. No Purpose - "Chance alone is at the source of every innovation, of all creation in the biosphere". (Jacque Monod) Conventional science (cont.) Heart - is simply there to pump the blood around the body. The Brain - There are a fixed number of neurons in the brain, when they die not replaced. The DNA - this is a completely closed system not affected by environment. Recent scientific developments "Whole" - new "emergent" reality - greater than the sum of its parts. Genetic system open - can be affected by the environment. The plastic brain - brain changes related to meditation. Memory and information storage in "fields" (feed-back loops) outside the brain - Brain mainly an " "antenna receiver". More new developments Heart-lung transplants - recipient can have dreams, memories & experiences of the donor. The After life experiments - controlled studies with mediums Near-Death experiences - consciousness can exist outside the brain Past Life Therapy - "Through Time into Healing. Living Systems Theory Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1968) - General Systems Theory Organisms "open" systems Quasi steady state Entering and leaving the outside environment (Alexander Bogdanov - Tektology, 1912 - 1917) "Time" Universe expanding and running down - (Big Bang) Evolution - simple to complex Living Systems Theory Ilya Prigogine (1917 - ) Self-organising systems "Dissipative structures" - irreversible, non-linear transformations under conditions far from equilibrium. Continuous fluctuation Energy increases - turbulence "Bifurcation Point" "Our vision of nature is undergoing a radical change toward the multiple, the temporal and the complex" Living Systems Theory New Pattern Disintegration Living Systems Definition OPEN SYSTEM Contains a number of elements Dynamic process Boundary - regulates what goes in and out Maintains and renews itself "Locus of control" within itself (self-organising) Reproduces itself Key Criteria of a Living System Pattern of organisation The configuration of relationships that determines the system"s essential characteristics Structure The physical embodiment of the system"s pattern of organisation Life Process The activity involved in the continual embodiment of the system"s pattern of organisation (Fritjof Capra) Two Types of Systems Living Non-Living Auto-Poeisis Allo-Poeisis (Self-making) (Other making) (Maturana and Varela) Chilian Biologists Cybernetics Movement Macy Conferences (1946) Mathematicians, engineers and neuroscientists Humanities Feedback and Cybernetics Feedback Loop Circular arrangement of causally connected elements, so that each element has an effect on the next, until the last "feeds back" the effect into the first element of the cycle. Thus the first link ("input") is affected by the last ("output"), which results in self-regulation of the entire system. Feedback Loop BALANCE C A Two Forms of Feedback B Circular causality of a feedback loop Two Forms of Feedback Negative feedback is a self-balancing circular form, maintaining a 'steady state'. This underlies Canon's concept of 'Homeostasis' in living creatures. Positive feedback is what has been known in common parlance as a 'vicious circle', a self- reinforcing, 'runaway' loop. A network Candace Pert has described what this means: "A network is different from a hierarchical structure that has a ruling "station" at the top and a descending series of positions that play increasingly subsidiary roles. In a network, theoretically, you can enter at any point and quickly get to any other point; all locations are equal as far as the potential to "rule" or direct the flow of information. Peptides The group of macromolecules comprising 60 to 70 molecular messengers (information substances), form a psychosomatic network extending throughout our human physiology. Because they were studied separately by different disciplines (Neuroscience, endocrinology, and immunology) this fact was not realised. "Mind" Definition "What the mind is , is the flow of information as it moves among the cells, organs and systems of the body. The mind as we experience it is immaterial, yet it has a physical substrate, which is both the body and the brain. Thus we might refer to the whole system as a psychosomatic information network, linking psyche,….such as mind, emotion, and soul, to soma, which is the material world of molecules,….Mind and body, psyche and soma." Orders of Living Systems 1st Order - Cell 2nd Order - Multi-cellular 3rd Order - Grouped multi-cellular 4th Order - Grouped species 5th Order - Bio-sphere (Gaia Hypothesis) A living system is modified once it becomes incorporated in a higher order system. There is no correlation between the complexity of the higher order system and its lower order system parts. Each new level of living system is a new beginning Although each new order of living system, once it has fully come into being, now has a controlling influence over its parts, it does not mean that it is more developed, or complex than the lower systems of which it is formed. the highly complex interactions between the millions of cells internally in a dog or cat bear no relation to the quite simple behaviours of these animals as living creatures. The Social Insects This disparity becomes much clearer when we turn to the social insects. Many of the insect societies are very ancient compared to mammals or humans; termites reach back over 400 million years and even the honeybee has been in existence for over 40 million years. They could, in a sense, be considered as adults, while we (that is the mammalian group), are, by comparison, children. A paradox Our highly sophisticated technology has been developed over the past four hundred years, from Gallileo onwards, through the mechanistic scientific model. This is now becoming lighter, increasingly non- material - "spiritualised". This is enabling open-minded scientists to examine complex questions, which was impossible before, such as - Consciousness, brain function, complex physiology, memory and information storage outside the brain, etc. The Paradox – The human individual as a multicellular organism is far more developed and complex than a bee, ant, or termite. But the third-order groups of human beings are, in evolutionary terms, far more recent than those of the social insects, and have therefore, as living systems, not yet developed the sophistication or complex organization of the latter. The plastic brain Richard Davidson"s lab at Univ. of Wisconsin utilises:- Supercharged EEGs - can pinpoint activity at locations deep within the brain. The functional MRI- a video rendition which can track changes the brain goes through during a given activity. The PET scan - this allows researchers to measure which of the brain"s several hundred neurochemicals are involved in a given mental activity. The plastic brain (cont.) The dogma in neuroscience was that the brain contained all of its neurons at birth and it was unchanged ny life"s experiences "Neuroplasticity"- We now know from this work and elsewhere, that the brain continually changes as result of our experience - Whether through fresh connections or through the generation of utterly new neurons. The frontal lobes, the amygdala, and the hyppocampus, change in response to experience. Heart-lung transplants Memories of the donor - Reports of heart-lung transplant patients having experiences, dreams, likes and dislikes of the donor are being reported with increasing frequency across the world. This may be happening through information stored in a non-material form in "feed-back" loops or electromagnetic fields outside of us. Near-death experiences These can occur in any of the following:- Cardiac arrest Shock after loss of blood Coma following traumatic brain injury or intra-cerebral hemorrhage Near drowning - especially in children Etc. N. D. E. (cont.) Prospective studies carried out:- Dutch, English, American, Consciousness outside the brain:- Patients being resuscitated show cardiac arrest, no brain activity, yet able to report in detail what is happening at the time. 18 to 20% of NDE patients can recall these experiences Back to the heart The atrium of the heart produces hormone - ANF that interacts with other hormones and affects every organ in the body, including the brain. Recent work is revealing that there are networks of neurons in the heart showing evidence of "mind", and that the heart is the real centre of our emotions reflecting back on the brain. Three major heart-centred stages of life The development of a heart-mind synchrony, needed for physical life, A later post-adolescent development which synchronizes the developed physical self and the creative process. A final "highest heart" which moves us beyond all physical emotional systems. This non-localised intelligence governing the heart in turn maintains synchrony with the universal consciousness at large. Past Life Therapy "Through Time into Healing" - sheds new light on the extraordinary healing potential of past life therapy. Brian Weiss shows how he uses regression to past lifetimes to provide the necessary breakthrough to healing mind, body and soul. This can help us to realise that death is not the final word and that the doorways to healing and wholeness are inside each of us. The primary social unit - A group of families This has taken various forms at different times: the tribal settlement, the extended family, the hamlet, the village, the small market town with its hinterland. This was true also of the cluster of neighbourhoods making up great cities of the past, The Nuclear Family It is not until we come to modern society and the, much-lauded, phenomenon of globalization, we find the isolated nuclear family as it exists today. These natural human settlements, even the cities of the past, developed in relation to natural resources, primarily to be. Demise of the age-old forms of Human community – The villages and the small towns have largely disappeared, in the West at least, or have altered their character totally, as part of the giant urban conurbations that now exist. The extended family too has largely gone and even the nuclear family is now under threat. Giant corporations and organizations of all kinds have taken their place; these are primarily task- oriented enterprises, concerned with doing. "Pseudo-living" systems A "third order" system of this kind because it is of recent origin is essentially a new beginning. These insatiable "blind monsters", even though they have entangled thousands of sensitive, complex human beings within them, are, themselves, only capable of quite primitive behaviors, similar to the ancient dinosaurs. They can manifest "fight or flight" behaviour, take over another corporation or be taken over. Corporate personhood "When Cain beat out his brother Abel"s brains, His maker laid great cities in his soul" (Robert Lowell) Physiology - Human Nature Essential Human Needs Relationship to natural environment Relationship to each other as persons Relate to an understandable holistic world Human "Needs" and "Wants" 'Wealth can be measured by the greatness of what we have or the smallness of what we want' Human "Needs" and "Wants" Human 'needs' which we require to live a full and fruitful life are relatively few. Society has filled us with 'wants' which we do not 'need' Insatiable 'wants' through advertising With technology 'needs' could be met with a fraction of current output Satisfying 'wants' will not give us contentment or happiness Interconnections Individual Cell Bio-sphere Society Eco-system Teilhard de Chardin "Either the entire construction of the world presented here is an empty theory. Or else somewhere around us, in one form or other, we should be able to detect some excess of personal, and extra human energy that reveals the great presence, if we look carefully. Teilhard de Chardin The day will come when we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, human beings will have discovered fire

Smokers in Minnesota are being urged to kick the habit today (THU) as part of the "Great American Smokeout." The American Cancer Society's Matt Shafer says that the annual event has its roots in our state. It was based on an idea of the editor of the Monticello Times, Lynn Smith. He promised to publish the names of 300 people who pledged to quit smoking for one day on January 6th, 1974 on the front page of their newspaper. Shafer says it led to Minnesota's first "Don't Smoke Day." California followed suit in two years and then it went nationwide. Anti-smoking groups are using the day to raise awareness about the connection between tobacco use and cancer as well.

"Harmony" is the common word in the description of the several spaces of the Forbidden City. The smallest one is "complete".
Why? Don't ask - I didn't read that much. It was used by the emperor to rest, in his way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, more than 15 meters distant, however, I think that he could do the journey in a single day.
While the Outer Court is where the large ceremonies and public events were held, the Inner Court is where the Emperor and his Family (plus the concubines) lived and is off limits to most people except for the eunuchs. Besides the hundred of rooms at the periphery of the Inner Court where many of the high officials and concubines and eunuchs of the emperor lives, the inner court also consists of three halls . From the south, these are the Palace of Heavenly Court (where the emperor had his quarters), Hall of Union, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility (for the empress) plus the imperial garden, Hall of Mental Cultivation, Palace of Tranquil Longevity and a lot more.
Opens: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm everyday except monday (closed)
Admission Fee is: 60 RMB per person
separate admission fee of 10 RMB for entrance to Treasure Gallery and 10 RMB for entrance to Clock and Watch Gallery.

Philadelphia 76ers swingman Evan Turner is being shopped on the trade market, ESPN's Marc Stein reports in his Weekend Dime. Why? "The Sixers, sources say, are open to a shakeup as they continue to wait for the return of Andrew Bynum to give All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday some badly needed help," Stein writes. At the very least, the Sixers are "making calls to gauge" the former Ohio State Buckeye's value, Stein contends. Turner has been mired in a shooting slump in his last five games, making just 38.9 percent of his free throws. On the season, he's hitting 43.1 percent from the field. In 48 games, Turner is averaging a roto-friendly 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1 steal, .3 blocks and .75 3-pointers. He's still having a career season with production up across the board.

The rugged, water resistant fabric construction and spacious 25"L x 14"W x 8 ½"H dimensions will corral a lot of stuff, and when placed on a flat surface, the rigid inner plastic panels will help keep items upright and secure. Use the tote to carry large gear or snap in the included divider to organize smaller items. And the strong nylon fabric handles will give you a good grip when transporting the tote.
This tote is an asset in its own right but it really shines when used with the Cargo-Logic Cargo Liner and Cargo-Logic Cargo Loks. Position the tote anywhere on the liner and use the Loks to keep it in place. Use it to carry nails and other hardware in the pickup bed when hauling lumber for construction products, or make it a permanent fixture in a corner of the cargo area for holding gloves, jumper cables, flashlights, rock salt and other emergency gear. You'll find endless uses for the tote, especially when used with the liner and Loks.
The Cargo-Logic Tote Bag is covered by a limited 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty applies to the original purchaser for 1-year from date of purchase as long as he or she owns the vehicle on which the product is installed.49.99Brand: Lund Part Number: 700200 UPC: 612959906854

This "Tote Bag" has such a strong, smoky, fire smell that I have had to remove it from the car trunk and air it outside. Do not know if the material has the smell normally or the item was stored in a smoky area.

Is there anyone with a working piece of sample C code that implements LiveView using the Canon EDSDK? The sample code in the documentation looks great until you get to this bit:
// Display image
Yup, that's it. They don't show how to BLT an image to a window using the data retrieved from the camera. They just say, "Display image." Thanks, Canon.
I have hunted the Internet (including this forum), but I have yet to find a C code sample that shows how to do this. I'm looking to avoid MFC, VB, managed code, or C#. Surely it's possible to do this in vanilla C, right? Vanilla C++ is fine as well.
Thanks, FredP

Europac May Beat 2011 Estimates on Higher Prices, Capacity
March 28 (Bloomberg) -- Papeles y Cartones de Europa SA, Iberia's second-largest maker of paper used for packaging, said an increase in margins, capacity and prices for recycled-paper products may help it beat analyst estimates for 2011 profit.
Strong demand for paper and cardboard for packaging, as well as higher profit from energy generation, may help keep earnings climbing from last year, Fernando Aranguren, Europac's resources director, said in a telephone interview.
The company, based in Madrid, may offset higher raw-material costs with a further increase in recycled paper prices this year, the executive said. Europac's energy division will advance this year as its plants operate at full capacity, Aranguren said.
"The economic context is difficult, but the paper industry is stable thanks to a strong demand and we'll be able to continue recovering margins this year," Aranguren said. "Expectations for 2011 are good."
Full-year net income may climb 39 percent to 36.8 million euros ($51.8 million) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization may advance 24 percent to 117.7 million euros, according to the average of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
"Those estimates are perfectly reachable and could even be beaten depending on how the year goes," Aranguren said. Higher profit could lead to increased dividends next year as well. The company didn't pay a dividend last year.
'Reaping the Benefits'
"Europac has been reaping the benefits of a strong containerboard market," Banco BPI analysts Eduardo Coelho and Jose Rito wrote in a March 17 report. The company "continues to face a strong earnings outlook."
The shares advanced 0.5 percent to 3.93 euros at 4:15 p.m. in Madrid today, valuing the company at 340.2 million euros.
Europac, which traces its roots back to 1890, will increase its Ebitda margin again this year, Aranguren said, adding it won't yet reach 2007 levels because of higher costs. Raw-material charges have risen about 10 euros per ton during the last few weeks, the 51-year-old executive said.
Ebitda was 25 percent of sales four years ago, shrinking to 8.3 percent in 2009. The company had a 15 percent Ebitda margin last year.
Price Increase
The current position of the industry is "suitable for an increase in prices" for recycled paper, Aranguren said, noting strong demand and inventories at "historic low levels."
The company increased recycled paper prices by 60 euros a ton effective Feb. 1. Prices for kraftliner paper, which is made with wood pulp, will probably remain flat this year, he said.
Europac, which sells its products in 27 countries in Europe and Africa, competes with companies including Sociedad Anonima Industrias Celulosa Aragonesa, the No. 1 producer of paper for packaging in Iberia, and Dublin-based Smurfit Kappa Group Plc, Europe's largest maker of cardboard boxes.
Smurfit Kappa Chief Financial Officer Ian Curley said on Feb. 9 that the company may raise prices in the second and third quarters to cover increased input costs. Svenska Cellulosa AB, Europe's biggest tissue maker, will raise newsprint paper prices at least 20 percent this year, Chief Executive Officer Jan Johansson said Jan. 27.
Acquisition Opportunities
Europac, which has 22 manufacturing plants in Spain, Portugal and France, is always looking for acquisition opportunities, Aranguren said. Europac has no plans to buy a business or enter new markets in the short term as it wants to focus on existing operations, he added.
"The cardboard industry continues to be susceptible to consolidation and we're always seeing opportunities," Aranguren said. "It's also in the interest of the company to grow in the area of raw materials of used paper."
The company will boost annual production capacity for recycled paper this year by about 30,000 tons from 560,000 tons last year, he said.
Ebitda from power generation may climb to as much as 35 million euros from 25.8 million euros in 2010, Aranguren said. Europac aims to cut its debt to Ebitda ratio to less than 2.5 times, he said.
"The company has changed a lot" after "acquisitions in France during the last two years that have changed the structure and production capacity of the group," and in 2010 it set up a new gas-fired plant in Spain and one in Portugal, increasing energy capacity, Aranguren said. The company's present structure "has nothing to do with that of two-and-a-half years ago."

stridently healthy: lentil and savoy cabbage soup
the miso soup which i have posted about recently fulfils a very specific need. it's light, delicious and obviously healthy.
this lentil and savoy cabbage soup is similar except it screams healthiness and worthiness given its star ingredients are cabbage and lentils. this isn't always a good thing – to make a huge generalisation, boys often need persuading of the virtues of this kind of food!
however, there are definitely days when i need to eat something that is going to make me feel a little bit saintly. whether it's because i've been overindulging, need to be frugal or i just feel that my body needs a dose of healthiness.
the recipe is deceptively simple but tastes fabulous and ticks the saintly box. unless of course you grate over mounds of parmesan and eat it with fresh bread slathered in delicious french bridel butter. but even then it manages to retain an aura of austerity. deluded? moi? surely not…

Bovada Sportsbook (SBR rating A) is the first betting site to release NBA Game Props for the new basketball season. Sportsbook Review is compiling every game prop wager in the NBA Prop Bet Directory. Players can use the page to determine which sportsbook has the highest return associated with NBA proposition wagers. Players can use the page to determine which sportsbook has the highest return associated with NBA proposition wagers. For example, one sportsbook might offer scoring prop markets such as team to score first at -110 while another deals -108, a small difference which is quite significant over the long haul.
Those looking to tie their funds up for longer than one game and extract value in a team performance bet should review the NBA Betting Futures page, which features real-time updating grids showing the current market price on every NBA team at industry sportsbooks. These wagers include the NBA Championship winner, conference and division bets, regular season win markets and more.
Players looking to build their bankroll and handicap NBA are invited to join the free $5000 NBA Betting Contest at SBR which runs for the entirety of the regular season.
Online sportsbooks Bovada (SBR rating A) and SportsInteraction (SBR rating B+) are the first to release Emmy odds. Sportsbook Review has a listing of all Emmys prop bets which is being updated hourly as odds move and markets are added. Based on last year's market, it is expected that at least five more online sportsbooks will release a serving of Emmy prop odds. These wagering markets typically provide good value and are added more as entertainment than profit generators from the perspective of online bookmakers. The 66th annual primetime Emmy awards take place Monday August 25 from downtown Los Angeles.
Update 11:39AM ET: The websites are back online.
Online sportsbooks Bodog (SBR rating A) and Bovada (SBR rating A) have been down since approximately 1AM. Sportsbook Review has been told by a manager familiar with details of the outage that the downtime has been caused by technical failure of a main switch. The sportsbooks are expected to be back online today although no timeline has been offered.
The 2014-15 NFL schedule has officially been released and NFL futures odds on the Super Bowl as well as on each conference are already available on the SBR Super Bowl Prop Betting Directory with those dynamic odds updating instantly.

A representative of Bovada commented on SBR Forum that users still having difficulty accessing their accounts or with general inquiries should write to firstname.lastname@example.com. Players may also reach Bovada via telephone at 1-888-263-0000.
Bovada Sportsbook has returned to its original rating of A. On May 23rd, SBR downgraded Bovada to B+ after its payout time-frame increased to an average of 30 days in some cases. Bovada worked through its backlog, clearing all outstanding payments and shortened the payout window to 5-10 business days. Users with feedback can write to email@example.com.
SBR newswoman Natalie delivers a sportsbook industry news update. Natalie is joined later in the program by seasoned dispute expert and legal mind Justin7. Covered in today's program are updates on BetUS, Bet770, BetAtHome, Bovada, as well as a peek into Justin's sportsbook dispute case-load.
Bovada (SBR rating A) has closed the accounts of players residing in Maryland. Players will be paid their balances in full. Bovada management tells SBR that they are communicating through email and telephone to impacted players.
On February 27th, SBR reported that Bodog was the latest sportsbook to have a ".com" domain confiscated. A federal indictment was unsealed by the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore, naming alleged Bodog executives on charges of unlawful gambling.
Before year's end, SBR reported that the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group's brand licensing agreement expired with the Bodog Brand. As a result, MMGG rebranded their sportsbook as Bovada. No Bodog brand licensee currently serves the US market.
Maryland players with feedback are asked to write to SBR.
Bovada (SBR rating A) will close their Costa Rica office and consolidate wagering services with their Antigua operation. Some of the staff will be moving to the second and now primary wagering center. With the change, Bovada will offer betting online-only which was already planned to change following March basketball. The customer service center will remain the same and players are expected to be able to call for account inquiries and receive the same level of customer service during the migration. Bodog Brand managers tell SBR that the Costa Rican office was only a third party service provider company but there was concern that Costa Rica would wrongly interpret the indictment against its former sportsbook website domain, Bodog.com. We are also told that all former employees from the Costa Rica service company will be paid full severance.
Bodog (SBR rating A) is changing their domain name for US players. Bodog.eu players will be able to access their accounts at www.Bovada.lv. Bodog is in the process of migrating all affected player accounts to the new website. Though the domain itself is changing, Bodog's US players will have the same software, platform, customer service and betting options to choose from. Bodog released a statement to all .eu players this morning addressing the change. | Full Bodog statement

The location was good. The bed was pretty comfy too. The staff was very friendly.
Very strong, very stale cigarette odor. The deadbolt didn't work and there was only a chain for security. The door had clearly been busted through before. Everything was just very, very old. And no lid on the toilet seat.
I was surprised when I arrived to find that it was no longer and Super 8, but a Motel 6, which is where I stayed the night before in Norfolk, VA.
Easy access to interstate. Nice and clean atmosphere. Price could be more competitive
I liked how close it was to the highway.
The hotel owner was rude. Asked how much I paid for the room online and then argued that I couldn't have paid that little. There was no fridge or microwave.
It was very clean staff was nice and it was pet friendly
The people working there were amazing and extremely nice.
The outside of the hotel should be renovated. The inside has been and looks terrific, but looking at the outside, you would never be able to tell the inside is s o nice.
Very friendly and pleasant staff. Recently updated. One of the nicer Hampton Inns I've visited.
Excellent breakfast!
All good!
Arrived late and was booked into a smoking room by mistake. A call and visit to the front desk fixed that problem. New room was clean and smelled good. Breakfast the next morning was pleasant and tasted good.
The side of the hotel we were on had loud highway noise. There seemed to be rooms on the other side which would not have been as loud because parking on that side was open as compared to the loud side which had many cars and trucks.
I have had terrible experiences at Days Inn Hotels. The last time, there were pubic hairs all over the shower. I could not bring myself to stay at any Days Inn ever again so I didn't stay at this one. I just wasted that money.PRICELINE-never again.
I never got anywhere near that hotel.
The staff was not friendly. Hotel does not maintain their pool in the winter. The pool was a horrific health hazard.

Travis Day promised that every single legendary item you find will be exciting and dramatic, once itemization improvements are made in some future patch.
Okay, he didn't exactly say what this post's headline says, but I thought I'd try twisting a blue quote around like the kewl kidz on the B.net forums do. Can now I am kewl too?
What does Travis really mean, though? Obviously not that every single legendary you find will be awesome, since that would get boring very quickly. After all, if every Legendary was great then soon enough everyone would have an awesome legendary and you remember what Syndrome said about that.
Back in March Travis discussed one improvement to legendary items, in Itemization blog:
We'd like to continue with this line of reasoning and use it to make Legendaries more powerful. In the future, we plan to allow Legendary items to also roll their base stats (weapon DPS and armor value) at the level of the monster that dropped them.
We don't have figures or details about how this will work, but the theory seems viable, at least for lower level legendaries that have some end game desirable mods. Travis mentioned Leoric's Signet in the itemization blog, which rules thanks to +%exp and pickup, but I don't see how that will help with the dozens of level 60-63 legendaries that suck.Like, say, the Hellrack.
You can see a screenshots of the Hellrack vs. the uber-Xbow, the Manticore, right from Blizzard's own game guide page, and they're actually quite similar in DPS. (Which is the part that would be affected by randomizing the DPS roll and stat bonuses to the monster level.)
The reason Manticores are (potentially) awesome while the Hellrack is a punchline has very little to do with the random DPS roll. You could actually switch their DPS and Manticores would still be far better at the high end, since they have inherent bonuses to IAS, Critical hit Damage, and potential to roll with a double socket. Thus in this instance, Travis has to be talking about much more changing than just the random damage mod, since that alone would make no difference in quality for 99.999% of Hellracks. The Hellrack, and dozens of other level 60-63 legendaries, need boosts to their inherent mods, not just potentially better random DPS and stat rolls, and while I'm sure Blizzard realizes that, it can't hurt to state it again.
That said, how about the OP's suggestion, that unIDed items not show their graphic so you wouldn't know whether to exult in a Mempo or sob at another Andy's hat as soon as you opened your inventory to view that orange Helm? I'm not a fan…
I like the current system, which is basically a three stage reveal.
2) You view the item in your inventory and know from the graphic and/or item level which particular set or legendary item it is. (This enables the economic lottery spin of buying or selling an un'id'ed item for a lot more than a junk roll / a lot less than a great roll is worth.)
3) You ID the item and cross your fingers.
3.1) You curse at not-Griswold while salvaging another Fiery Brimstone.
I'd like to stop after step 3 more often than proceeding directly to step 3.1, but I quite enjoy the approach to step 2, and the moment of suspense between seeing a green or orange item type, and finding out which one it actually is.

Member of SCORE Shares Life Success Story with Upward Bound Students
Students whose parents did not attend college are being encouraged early on to take the steps necessary to obtain a college education through Upward Bound at the Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute; those same students are also benefiting from the knowledge and experience of local business executives.
Ed McKiernan - a counselor with SCORE and retired from the presidency of the SeaLand Division of Dometic Corporation - recently spoke at ATI to a group of Upward Bound students in a life skills class.
His goal, he told them, was to share "how I got to where I am today ... and important things I learned along the way," McKiernan said.
Other business leaders who addressed students previously were SCORE members Terry Shea and Richard Lewellen, Upward Bound director Gail Miller said.
Students learned about small businesses and how to start them, said Jeffrey Rockar, a sophomore at Orrville High School, adding, "Know what you want to do before you start your business."
