DIY Hacks and How-Tos
A series of random hacks and how-to projects by Jason Poel Smith

How to Make Custom Microcontroller Shields
Microcontrollers such as Arduinos are a great way to control your custom electronics projects. But you always need some way to connect the external components to the microcontroller board. Jumper wires can work for this, but having too many loose wires running around is just asking for trouble. A good solution for this problem is to use some kind of a shield. This is a circuit board that uses a set of pins to connect directly to some (or all) of the pins on the microcontroller.
A shield is an easy way to connect all of your external components together. You can use shields to control motors, relays, LEDs, or anything else. You can even use proto shields to prototype your whole circuit directly on the board.
In this project, I am going to show you how you can make your own custom shields for your microcontroller.

Test Tube Chandelier
A while ago I picked up a bunch of glass test tubes that were being thrown out. At the time I didn't have a specific project in mind for them but I figured that I could come up with some way to use them. Then later I came across a design by Etsy user PaniJurek for a chandelier made from test tubes that were filled with colored water. I really liked the way that you can use the test tubes to make any color pattern that you want. So I decided to make my own version of the project.

Motorized System for Raising and Lowering Hanging Plants
Hanging plants are a great way to add some green around your house. But there are a lot of great locations for hanging plants that are just too inconvenient to utilize. For instance if you have really high ceilings, you don't want to have to get up on a ladder every day to water them.
So I designed a simple system for raising and lowering hanging plants with an electric motor. That way you can raise them up to the desired height. Then whenever you want to water them, just press the button to lower them down to a convenient working height.

31 Unusual Uses For Coconuts
When I was in college, I got a job as a student researcher in my Engineering department. My job was to research coconuts. My professor was trying to find ways to turn coconuts into value-added products. The goal was help promote economic development in countries like Papua New Guinea where coconuts are plentiful but are not fully utilized. We researched all aspects of coconuts and how they can be used. As a result, I gained a lot of random knowledge about coconuts. So I thought that I would share some of the more interesting things that I learned in a project on Instructables. You can check it out here: http://www.instructables.com/id/31-Unusual-Uses-For-Coconuts/

Add Light Up Effects to Backyard Games Like Cornhole
Backyard games like Cornhole are a lot of fun. But you can make them even better by adding lights and sounds. By hooking up some simple electronics, you can make the board light up and play a victory fanfare whenever someone scores. Here is how to make it.

Collapsible Cornhole Boards
I wanted to make a set of cornhole boards that I could take with me to picnics and cookouts. Unfortunately, my car is too small to easily transport a set of standard cornhole boards. So I designed a set of board that will fold in half. That made them a lot easier to transport and store. Here is how I made them.

Electronic Water Tag Game
Everyone loves water gun fights in the summer. But you can always make something better by adding electronics to it. So I designed a set of water sensors and buzzers that will beep when they are hit with the spray of a water gun. This lets you play a game similar to laser tag but with water.
And if you want wondering, no it won't shock you or electrocute you. The circuit is well sealed in its housing and the amount of electricity that we are working with is so small that it couldn't shock you anyway.

Lord McAlpine's North Wales allegations statement in full
Friday 09 November 2012
Tory peer Lord McAlpine today described reports linking him to the North Wales child abuse allegations as "wholly false and seriously defamatory".
In a statement, he said had decided "I must publicly tackle these slurs and set the record straight".
Here is his statement in full:
"Over the last several days it has become apparent to me that a number of ill- or uninformed commentators have been using blogs and other internet media outlets to accuse me of being the senior Conservative Party figure from the days of Margaret Thatcher's leadership who is guilty of sexually abusing young residents of a children's home in Wrexham, North Wales in the 1970's and 1980's.
"It has additionally become apparent to me that a number of broadcasters and newspapers have, without expressly naming me, also been alleging that a senior Conservative Party figure from that time was guilty of or suspected of being guilty of the sexual abuse of residents of this children's home.
"It is obvious that there must be a substantial number of people who saw that I had been identified in the internet publications as this guilty man and who subsequently saw or heard the broadcasts or read the newspapers in question and reasonably inferred that the allegation of guilt in those broadcasts and newspapers attached to me.
"Even though these allegations made of me by implication in the broadcast and print media, and made directly about me on the internet, are wholly false and seriously defamatory I can no longer expect the broadcast and print media to maintain their policy of defaming me only by innuendo.
"There is a media frenzy and I have to expect that an editor will soon come under pressure to risk naming me. My name and the allegations are for all practical purposes linked and in the public domain and I cannot rewind the clock.
"I therefore have decided that in order to mitigate, if only to some small extent, the damage to my reputation I must publicly tackle these slurs and set the record straight. In doing so I am by no means giving up my right to sue those who have defamed me in the recent past or who may do so in the future and I expressly reserve my rights to take all such steps as I and my solicitors consider necessary to protect my interests.
"On Tuesday, 6 November the Home Secretary, the Rt Hon Theresa May MP, made a statement in the House of Commons about the historic allegations of child abuse in the North Wales police force area. She explained that in 1991, North Wales Police conducted an investigation into allegations that, throughout the 1970s and 1980s, children in homes that were managed and supervised by Clwyd County Council were sexually and physically abused. The result of the police investigation was eight prosecutions and seven convictions of former care workers. Despite the investigation and convictions, it was widely believed, she said, that the abuse was in fact on a far greater scale, but a report produced by Clwyd Council's own inquiry was never published, because so much of its content was considered by lawyers to be defamatory.
"In 1996, the Rt Hon William Hague MP, the then Secretary of State for Wales, invited Sir Ronald Waterhouse to lead an inquiry into the abuse of children in care in the Gwynedd and Clwyd Council areas. Mrs May told the House of Commons that the Waterhouse inquiry sat for 203 days and heard evidence from more than 650 people. Statements made to the inquiry named more than 80 people as child abusers, many of whom were care workers or teachers. In 2000, the inquiry's report 'Lost in Care' made 72 recommendations for changes to the way in which children in care were protected by councils, social services and the police. Following the report's publications, 140 compensation claims were settled on behalf of the victims.
"Mrs May further said that the report found no evidence of a paedophile ring beyond the care system, which was the basis of the rumours that followed the original police investigation and, indeed, one of the allegations made in the past week. Last Friday, a victim of sexual abuse at one of the homes named in the report - Mr Steve Messham - alleged that the inquiry did not look at abuse outside care homes, and he renewed allegations against the police and several individuals. I am, as is now well known to readers of the internet and to journalists working for the print and broadcast media, one of the individuals implicated by Mr Messham.
"I have every sympathy for Mr Messham and for the many other young people who were sexually abused when they were residents of the children's home in Wrexham. Any abuse of children is abhorrent but the sexual abuse to which these vulnerable children were subjected in the 1970's and 1980's is particularly abhorrent. They had every right to expect to be protected and cared for by those who were responsible for them and it is abundantly clear that they were horribly violated. I have absolutely no sympathy for the adults who committed these crimes. Those who have been convicted were deservedly punished and those who have not yet been brought to justice should be as soon as possible.
"The facts are, however, that I have been to Wrexham only once. I visited the local Constituency Conservative Association in my capacity as Deputy Chairman. I was accompanied on this trip, at all times, by Stuart Newman, a Central Office Agent. We visited Mary Bell, a distant relative of mine and close friend of Stuart Newman. We did not stay the night in Wrexham. I have never been to the children's home in Wrexham, nor have I ever visited any children's home, reform school or any other institution of a similar nature. I have never stayed in a hotel in or near Wrexham, I did not own a Rolls Royce, have never had a 'Gold card' or 'Harrods card' and never wear aftershave, all of which have been alleged. I did not sexually abuse Mr Messham or any other residents of the children's home in Wrexham. Stuart Newman is now dead but my solicitors are endeavouring to locate a senior secretary who worked at Central Office at the time to see if she can remember the precise date I visited that Association.
"I fully support the decision (announced by the Home Secretary in the House of Commons on Tuesday) of the Chief Constable of North Wales, Mr Mark Polin, to invite Mr Keith Bristow, the Director General of the National Crime Agency, to assess the allegations recently received, to review the historic police investigations and to investigate any fresh allegations reported to the police into the alleged historic abuse in north Wales care homes. Although I live in Italy and have done so for many years and although I am in poor health, I am entirely willing to meet Mr Polin and Mr Bristow in London as soon as can be arranged so that they can eliminate me from their inquiries and so that any unwarranted suspicion can be removed from me.
"I wish to make it clear that I do not suggest that Mr Messham is malicious in making the allegations of sexual abuse about me. He is referring to a terrible period of his life in the 1970's or 1980's and what happened to him will have affected him ever since. If he does think I am the man who abused him all those years ago I can only suggest that he is mistaken and that he has identified the wrong person.
"I conclude by reminding those who have defamed me or who intend to do so that in making this statement I am by no means giving up my right to seek redress at law and repeat that I expressly reserve my rights to take all such steps as I and my solicitors consider necessary to protect my interests."

A Cargill hedge fund manager was killed in a hit-and-run accident over the weekend in suburban Minneapolis.
Michael Rymer was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident in Crystal, Minn., early Saturday morning. He had spent Friday night out with friends watching the NCAA college basketball tournament and was going to a friend's house at the time of the accident, around 1:40 a.m.
Rymer leaves a wife and three daughters, aged seven to 15 years.
"He was an easygoing guy, always happy to help you out, and had lots of friends around the Robbinsdale and Crystal area," his father, Joseph Rymer, told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "He was in the prime of his life."
Crystal police are still seeking the driver of the dark-colored SUV believed to have hit Rymer.

Program/Project Management
National Alabama Corp.'s railcar manufacturing facility in Cherokee, AL, has taken national honors in the 2011 Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel awards program (IDEAS2).
The annual IDEAS2 awards, presented by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), recognize outstanding achievement in engineering and architecture on structural steel projects. The 14 winners of 2011 were chosen from nearly 100 submissions.
Photos: Justin Maconochie
NAC's facility was a National Award winner in the category of projects greater than $75 million, making it one of only eight projects nationwide to receive the honor. The award was presented Wednesday (Oct. 19) during a ceremony at the facility.
The project team members include owner NAC; architect and structural engineer Albert Kahn Associates Inc., Detroit; steel detailer McGill Engineering Inc., Tampa, FL; steel fabricator Cives Steel Co., Roswell, GA.; steel erector Midwest Steel Inc., Detroit; general contractor Yates-Walbridge Joint Venture, Philadelphia, MS, and Detroit, respectively; and joint manufacturer Quincy Joist Co., Quincy, FL.
4 Operations, 1 Facility
Completed in 2009, NAC's 2.1 million-square-foot facility houses fabrication, construction, finishing and administration operations under one roof. The $300 million facility can produce up to 12,000 cars—each nearly 90 feet long, 20 feet high and 70,000 pounds—annually.
Located on 635 acres in Barton Riverfront Industrial Park, the facility's orientation followed the existing topography, which minimized site grading, allowing natural areas to remain untouched.
NAC's railcar manufacturing facility, ¾ mile long, was a National Award winner in the category of projects greater than $75 million.
The facility accesses the Norfolk-Southern rail line along its southern boundary, and a 500-car capacity storage yard was built east of the manufacturing facility. Steel rail sidings connect to the existing rail line to facilitate delivery of completed railcars.
By the Numbers
The project included:
• More than 22,600 tons of structural steel erected in four months;
• A superstructure of 27,000 pieces of steel; 200,000 bolts; three miles of handrail; and more than five miles of crane runways;
• More than 50,000 detailing hours and 305,000 fabrication hours;
• Four erection crews with four crawler cranes working concurrently to keep pace with the arrival of 100 truckloads of steel per week; and
• Installation of an average 1,600 pieces of steel per week.
• More than 22,600 tons of structural steel erected in four months;
• A superstructure of 27,000 pieces of steel; 200,000 bolts; three miles of handrail; and more than five miles of crane runways;
• More than 50,000 detailing hours and 305,000 fabrication hours;
• Four erection crews with four crawler cranes working concurrently to keep pace with the arrival of 100 truckloads of steel per week; and
• Installation of an average 1,600 pieces of steel per week.
Because the fabrication and construction of railcars makes extensive use of cranes for material handling, the plant's construction area incorporates jib cranes, semi-gantry, gantry cranes, and top-running bridge cranes, all of which are integrated into the building.
Typical bay size parallel to the process flow was set at 30 feet to optimize crane runway support framing. Bay sizes perpendicular to the process flow ranged from 93 to 120 feet.
'Close Attention to Detail'
Competition judge Robert Theel, AIA, called the result "an expansive facility that pays close attention to detail."
"Aesthetically, the building embodies stylistic elements from the golden age of American industrial design, the strong linear character associated with railway functions, and the NAC brand image," AISC said in a release.
"The facility incorporates broad expanses of glass curtain wall and roof monitors that permeate the manufacturing spaces with daylight and natural ventilation. The exit for finished railcars has a transparency and light quality rarely seen in conventional industrial facilities."
Other environmental features include the harvesting of rain water from more than 37 acres of roof and hard surface areas and diverting it to a two-acre irrigation pond.
The facility is expected to achieve LEED Silver certification. If so, it may become the largest industrial project to achieve this distinction in the new construction category, according to AISC.

The Carrera Heuer-01 turned more than a few heads when it was launched at Baselworld in March. The watch is the first model to reflect the design direction for TAG Heuer under the leadership of CEO Jean-Claude Biver and one that reinforces strongly the brand's "avant garde" positioning. Yet despite its modern looks, there were rumblings about the similarity of the newest TAG Heuer to the watches produced at Biver's alma mater, Hublot, and whether the new Carrera was enough of, well, a Carrera.
And these questions are even more important than whether …
If you like the look of the recently released Carrera Calibre 18 Telemeter, but were hoping for something a little more….well, Gold, then this is the watch for you- the Heuer Carrera Calibre 7 Glassbox.
Over the past decade or so we've been lucky to see 1-2 "Heuer" branded models per year, whereas this year already we've had three, with a potential fourth on the way. Good news for those who love the Heuer heritage, and an important contrast to the modern, bold watches such as the Carrera Heuer-01.
Like the Calibre …
I've always found the use of different case materials to be interesting. It's one reason why I enjoy the second generation of Carrera so much, as it used such a range of materials.[1]
The majority were steel, of course, but it also came in gold-plate, 18K yellow gold, black PVD (Monza and Modena) and chrome-plate (also Monza). It's by no means alone in the Heuer range in using a less common case material than steel either. The Titanium series of the 1980s was up front about the material it was made …
Here is the first look at the production version of the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 SpaceX, A new limited edition chronograph released to mark the 50th anniversary of (TAG) Heuer being the first Swiss timepiece to be worn in space.
While there have been photos of the prototype version of this watch floating around the internet for a while, the watch below is the finished production model that will go on sale in the next few weeks.
There is a cool story to go with the new Carrera, with TAG Heuer sending …
TAG Heuer has launched a new Calibre 12 Monaco in time for the Monaco Grand Prix- the TAG Heuer Monaco Full Black Automobile Club de Monaco ("ACM") edition. This is the second ACM Monaco, but the first to sport an all-black case, in homage to one of the most famous Heuer Monacos of the 1970s.
As you'll discover, the original 1970s Black Monaco is one of the most enigmatic watches in the vintage Heuer world- both because it's very rare…and because it's not 100% clear that it ever (officially) existed at …Read the full story »
Here are the first live photos of the TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Heritage Chronograph- the latest in the line of Heuer- branded Monaco chronographs featuring the modern Calibre 11 movement and the distinctive left-sided crown.
TAG Heuer continue to explore both sides of the Monaco- the futuristic models, through watches like the Monaco V4, Monaco Mikrograph and Monaco Twenty-Four, and the heritage models, through Heuer branded watches that evoke the original spirit of the 1970s.
The Monaco story stretches back to 1969, when the original 1133B Monaco (above, left) was released, …Read the full story »
While TAG Heuer released a re-edition of the famous 1133B Blue Monaco only five years after bringing the Monaco back, it has taken another 13 years for a re-edition of the grey 1133G Heuer Monaco to appear- the TAG Heuer Monaco Vintage Chronograph.
This new watch- Ref CAW211B (The watch shown for this review is pre-production and still has the old Reference number as shown at Basel- CAW2115)- is basically a grey version of the 40th Anniversary Monaco released last year, with two important differences. Firstly, the case of the Monaco …

A CHIEF concern about the push for global accounting standards is the possibility that the developed economies, particularly the United States and Europe, will dominate the shaping of this common language of financial reporting.
Such a situation, it is feared, will result in the smaller countries being on the losing end because the standards may ignore the practices and conditions in those places.
For Malaysia, the worry is real because our plantation companies and property developers have issues with some aspects of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Under the IAS 41, the international accounting standard for agriculture, all biological assets that are related to agricultural activity must be measured at fair value less costs. However, the plantation industry has argued that oil palms or rubber trees are more like factories, and should be valued differently from consumable biological assets such as wheat and maize.
The international accounting rules for recognising revenue from property development are based on the build-then-sell model of the West. In Asia, purchasers and their end financiers pay progressively for the properties according to the stage of construction. Naturally, the property industry here wants to be allowed to report revenue based on the percentage of completion method.
Malaysia fully converged with the IFRS in 2012 but the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) has allowed agriculture and real estate companies to defer their adoption of an IFRS-compliant set of accounting standards until the two so-called transitional issues have been resolved.
It appears that the resolutions will come soon. Last June, the International Accounting Standards Board published an exposure draft proposing that biological assets such as oil palms and rubber trees come under the scope of the IAS 16, which covers property, plant and equipment. Presumably, the next step is to amend the relevant standards.
As for the difference in recognising revenue from property projects, the matter is expected to be addressed with the release of a new standard for revenue.
Via the MASB and industry players, Malaysia has played a significant role in the lobbying and work that have led to these solutions. This shows that being small isn't necessarily the same as being helpless and voiceless. Strong, well-supported arguments and a solid game plan can often make up for the lack of size and influence.

Perspective: No, Islam Is Not Inherently Misogynistic. Here's Why. | Bina Shah
"The advent of Islam sought not only to introduce a new kind of social order but to limit the excesses of Meccan society, which directly harmed women and girls."
Source/Credit: The Huffington Post
By Bina Shah | July 23, 2015
Junaid Jamshed, Pakistani pop singer turned Islamic preacher, landed himself in hot water when he recently made misogynistic remarks on television. Erroneously trying to prove that women do not have an independent status of their own in Islam, he said, "Hazrat Maryam's (Mary's) name has been solely mentioned in the Holy Quran and that too because of Hazrat Isa (Jesus). Other than that, no other woman's name has been quoted in the Holy book. Also, Allah doesn't like it when a woman's name is mentioned in the Quran."
A "Ban Junaid Jamshed" movement sprang into life on social media within hours of the remarks being reported. Angered Pakistani women are urging people to boycott Jamshed's commercial ventures, which include a butcher shop and a clothing line.
Sadly, many people in the Muslim world share Jamshed's attitudes to greater or lesser degrees; literalists and the orthodox everywhere use the Quran and Hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet, to justify their misogyny, interpreting allegorical scripture with malicious literalism. They twist and distort the scripture's meanings, intent and context, until the true meaning of those verses has been obliterated. They disregard the fact that those verses pertaining to men and women were meant to introduce a balance between the sexes in a paganistic Arab society that had no concept of harmony and cooperation between men and women.

USA: Obama Slams Huckabee Over #IranDeal-Holocaust Comparison
"The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are, I think, part of just a general pattern that we've seen would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad."

"Ridiculous if it weren't sad."
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama fired back at former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Monday after the 2016 Republican presidential candidate invoked the specter of the Holocaust in comments regarding the Iran nuclear deal.
"The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are, I think, part of just a general pattern that we've seen would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad," Obama said during a press conference in Ethiopia.
In an interview on Saturday, Huckabee, who is a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, said the president would "take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven." The former governor has since been trumpeting his comments on social media, even making a graphic that highlighted the quote in bold. [ More ...]

Perspective: New Light on the History of the Quranic Text? | Joseph E. B. Lumbard
[R]ecent studies have demonstrated that the earliest Islamic literature on variant readings of the Quran is for the most part reliable..
Source/Credit: The Huffington Post
By Joseph E. B. Lumbard | July 24, 2015
The recent discovery of an early manuscript of the Quran has received extensive media attention, appearing on BBC, CNN and even above the fold on the front page of the New York Times. But in the broader context of recent scholarship on early manuscripts of the Quran, Birmingham M 1572 does not radically change the field. Combined with other manuscripts, however, it contributes to a growing body of evidence that the early Islamic sources, as Carl Ernst observes, "still provide a more compelling framework for understanding the Qurʾan than any alternative yet proposed."
In recent years, the field of Quranic Studies in the West has been undergoing a paradigm shift brought about by the discovery and scholarly analysis of the earliest Quranic manuscripts. The most recent scientific analysis of the earliest available Quranic manuscripts conducted by Behnam Sadeghi of Stanford University demonstrates that much of what we know to be the Quran today can be dated to the year 670 AD, or earlier. For the earliest extant manuscript to have undergone extensive analysis, radiocarbon dating gives "a 68% probability of belonging to the period between AD 614 to AD 656. It has a 95% probability of belonging to the period between AD 578 and AD 669."

Perspective: Chattanooga tragedy requires us to pledge loyalty to America | Sohail Z. Husain
A bulk of the youth of my Ahmadiyya Muslim Community joined in parades across the U.S. on Independence Day weekend.

By Sohail Z. Husain, M.D | July 26, 2015
Several states have appropriately beefed up security at military recruitment centers in the wake of the Chattanooga shooting tragedy.
This Muslim-American would add that the best way to counter the threat of radicalization (of any group) is to inculcate the golden values of loyalty and common respect.
That's why a bulk of the youth of my Ahmadiyya Muslim Community joined in parades across the U.S. on Independence Day weekend. They proudly donned "Muslims for Loyalty" T-shirts and widely handed out American flags that bore our official motto, "Love for All, Hatred for None."
While ISIS wages a noxious campaign to brainwash "lone wolfs" into committing senseless acts of violence in their homeland and, in so doing, defame the noble religion of Islam, the spiritual Caliph of my Community his Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad instead calls on all fair-minded Muslims to heed the instructions of the Prophet Mohammed, who said that love for your country is integral to your faith.
Muslim-Americans should recognize that they have not only a civic responsibility, but also a religious duty, to protect their nation against anyone who would do harm.

The point is what gets it done. Physical activity combined with active community involvement creates benefits on both sides - for themselves and their fellow human beings.
"We want to do good together," Shakeel Ahmad Umar explained with near-modesty at the sports facility Rennwiese on Saturday afternoon.
Charity Walks have been organized nationwide by the Ahmadiyya community since 2007.
Over the weekend there were eight charity runs nationwide from Worms to Freising over the two days.
Nearly 100 runners were at the start in the Rennwiese stadium in Reutlingen on Saturday. There will be even more in the coming years in Achalmstadt, it is hoped.

The findings come from a study that had been looking for plastic—not paint—pollution in the uppermost millimeter of the ocean. The study was led by Won Joon Shim, an environmental chemist at the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology in Geoje-shi, South Korea.
While the researchers did find some plastic pollution, they discovered that microscopic paint and fiberglass particles made up the overwhelming majority of what's residing on the top layer of the sea, ScienceMag.org reported.
81% Alkyds
The top millimeter of the ocean, called the sea surface microlayer, has different characteristics than the ocean underneath that cause it to retain small fragments.
The top of the ocean's surface contains a large amount of paint dust and chips, as well as a small amount of plastics, South Korean researchers say.
In past studies, researchers have used coarser nets and took samples that included water below the microlayer.
In this study, the researchers took water samples from the microlayer along the southern coast of Korea, up to 16 kilometers (about 10 miles) offshore.
The researchers found that 81 percent of synthetic materials in the microlayer were alkyds; 11 percent were polyester resins; and 4 percent were plastics. On average, one liter of water contained 195 particles.
Laboratory testing using infrared spectroscopy matched the particles with paint chips collected from local shipyards, according to the researchers.
However, the group did not find antifouling paint. The paint was from decks and other areas of vessels above the hull, the team said.
Affected by Boat Traffic
The group also found a large amount of paint particles off another part of the Korean coast and hypothesized that areas with less shipping and fishing would have fewer particles.
The findings are "continuing to open our eyes to how many small synthetic particles are in the environment," Kara Law, an oceanographer at the Sea Education Association, told ScienceMag.org. Law was not involved in the study.
The research, "Large Accumulation of Micro-sized Synthetic Polymer Particles in the Sea Surface Microlayer," was published in July in the American Chemical Society's journal Environmental Science & Technology.
The research team now plans to study the paint particles' metals and organic chemicals to determine whether they could harm marine life.
Comment from Simon Hope, (8/12/2014, 3:25 AM)
Unfortunately this does not surprise, what is more worrying is that these particles probably contain highly toxic pigment such as lead which will be becoming embedded in the environment and also into the foodchain where it will become further concentrated. i would assume that these small particles are probably formed due to dry abrasive blasting dust which is then either blown in the wind or thoughtlessly dumped into the sea.
Very interesting and worrying, it would be interesting to undertake a similar assessment in the North Sea to see the effects of heavy industry and offshore installations where controls have been lax.
Comment from paul champagne, (8/12/2014, 9:55 AM)
Also the Gulf of Mexico. I am sure after 60 years of blasting and painting in the Gulf that there is quite an accumulation.

Good news for the Twins on the Joe Mauer front
May 5, 2010, 10:30 AM EDT
The reigning MVP has an MRI on his BLH (bruised left heel) and the news is positive: it's a soft tissue bruise as opposed to a bone bruise. Doctors and people like that who know about such things tell La Velle Neal of the Strib that the soft tissue stuff is far preferable due to a shorter healing time.
Neal also reports that the Twins and Nike are working on a special shoe for him that will help cushion his heel when he returns. Which is rather surprising because, based on everything we've seen in recent months, I was of the impression that Nike is primarily in the image rehabilitation business and only dabbled in athletic footwear.

LG Optimus Vu announced!
LG Mobile now has its own smartphone and tablet combo under the name LG Optimus Vu. The device, a 5-incher, is one of the first few ones to be introduced in the market after the Dell Streak 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note.
The Optimus Vu has a rather unique aspect ratio of 4:3, giving it a mini-tablet look rather than an extra-large smartphone appeal.
LG Optimus Vu specs:
5.0″ IPS LCD display @ 1024×768 pixels
1.5GHz dual-core processor
32GB internal storage
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
8MP autofocus rear camera
1.3MP front-facing camera
GPS with aGPS support
Li-Ion 2,080mAh battery
Android 2.3 Gingerbread
More details once we get the official press release from the local PR. What's known though is that the Optimus Vu s very thin at only 8.5mm (that's as thin as the recently launched LG Prada 3.0).
Like the Optimus Black and the LG Prada 3.0, the Optimus Vu also boasts of a Nova display with a brightness rating of 650 nits.
The Optimus Vu also comes with a stylus so you can draw and make sketches on the screen just like the Galaxy Note. LG Mobile will release this first in Korea by March then the rest of the world after then.

WOW! just purchased 4s… ito naman sana sunod. :)
Uy! May kalaban na ang Samsung Note….nako nako, this would be aide by side fight! Hehehee
Like. Love to have one, hm in php peso?
Too much bezel on this one. Sticking a 4:3 aspect ratio on an 5″ display is not a good idea. Apps are going to look weird.
Just get the Samsung Note guys. Or better yet, stick with either a smartphone or tablet. Never go with a phablet.
I own a galaxy note and anything below a 1280×800, 5.3-inch screen will not suffice anymore.
ang sagwa, not practical for use as mobile phone.
i find the aspect ratio 4:3 on a 5″ display size WEIRD! Just look at the pictures!
it outruns the Galaxy Tabs :/
No, it doesn't.
napakapangit! lg?
well if they will sell it for half the price of a Samsung Galaxy Note, pwede na rin. :D

Today was the day that we planned to head to Caen, FR...in a rental car. I had been told that driving in Paris is the absolute worst, so I was really pretty worried.
