How to Install a Mosaic Tile Floor
Installing mosaic tiles is a classic and elegant way to finish a bathroom floor. With moderate skills and these instructions any DIYer can complete this project.
Measure up from the tub deck the height of the tile sheets-12 inches plus 1/8" to allow for a grout line along the tub deck (Image 1). Draw a level guideline for the tile with the two foot level (Image 2).
Since the tile is going on regular drywall, not cement board, use pre-mixed ceramic tile adhesive, or mastic, instead of thinset. The mastic doesn't set immediately so its easier to work with. Spread it on the wall with the 3/16th V-notch trowel (Image 1). The top of the tile follows the level line all the way across for a uniform look (Image 2). This leaves varied spaces on the bottom, so use plastic shims to make up space. Line up the next sheet so it fits perfectly, leaving a space between the two for a grout line.
Now that you've reached the corner, measure out to determine the size of the sheet.Use the measurement to cut the tile sheet to size. Lay the tile mesh-side up on a piece of cardboard. Instead of running the mesh sheet through the tile saw to make the straight line, simply use a utility knife on the mesh, following the line of the tile. This will leave small spaces between the tile and the corner, which will be filled in with the next piece. For the corner piece, set a full sheet matching it up with the sheet from the other side. Around the window, use the utility knife to cut the mesh as close to the window as possible. The spaces will be filled in later with individual tiles cut with a wet saw.
The excess mastic will dry before you're ready to set the small tiles, so scrape it with a flathead screwdriver.

Reviews of "The Perfect Swarm"!
We've gotten a couple of reviews in already, and we thought we'd share!
Intomobile's Dusan Belic has a fairly lengthy take on our "buggy" (but in a good way) update! We love any review that begins with "Stop everything you're doing and grab Pocket God if you still haven't." Thanks very much, Dusan!
148 Apps' Rob Rich rings in with a cool review of his own! It's good to see he enjoys the Mondo Pack. It gives us a chance to give another shoutout to Josh Ellingson for the design!
We're especially gratified people are enjoying this new update, because, as you know, it's part of a bigger, more monumental, arc and one thing we like to do is think epic! It's good to see that approach is paying off. Thanks, everyone!
PocketGod @ThomasTheOFace we have the last issue of the current arc written and drawn, but not colored or lettered. there is still some hope
PocketGod @Lucaszecron Unfortunately another company made the Android version of Pocket God.

I am so glad that I tried this honey. The taste is delicious. It is smooth and creamy. This honey is really giving my body a huge boost in my health. It is working on my digestive system and has drained my sinuses. I am shocked at what drained from my head when I blew my nose. I can feel many good things happening in my body just in the very short time I have been using this. The company says that this is organic but they did not label this as organic as to keep the price as low as possible. I have been buying other honey from them for years and know as a fact this is an organic bee farm. I will never allow myself to be without this again. This is a must for me. It is so much more tasty and healthy then any other honey I have eaten. This stuff is truly amazing for me.

Good for "eating" & also for use as a healing ointment for: blisters, cuts, bruises, etc. This honey, is a good healer for me. Manuka Honey with a bandage on top helps to heal many cuts and bruises for me.

I bought a few different types of manuka honey for my daughter as she has bad sinus in the morning. For this bottle, I didn't see any improvement and both of us find the honey too sweet for our liking.

Extremely sweet
Posted by Reviewer2567834 on Feb 05, 2015
Very creamy but extremely sweet so I've switched to their organic raw honey. I've also learned that organic raw honey is less processed and contained more minerals.

This story begins last year. I was downtown running some business errands.
My wife and son where with me. Remembering my own childhood of being "downtown" and thinking about the changes that had been going on for the past years, all of which I had heard about via news reports and local talk radio, I suggested we take a look around.
Cue the movie flash-back music!
"The Kress Building," caught my eye and we went inside.
It was a magical feeling to walk back inside a building that I had not been in for decades.
We took a look at all 4 floors and even saw a few empty spots which truthfully made me even more excited.
When we left the building, the memories and the renovation were stuck in my mind. So was the "idea" of having an office away from home!
My son, Jacob is 3 years and 4 months old, as of this writing and he's in need of his "own" room, and I'm in need of a place to "work" without small distractions.
So, I discussed with my wife, Bella, the idea of renting out an office and making the room I'm working in now, Jacob's room.
She agreed … the process began.

Good but not great fit.
Reviewed By Nancy G (FREMONT, WI) Reviewed for a 2015 Lexus GS 350 —11/10/2015 2:03 PM
The fit in the trunk is good, but not great, since it does not allow for the two rear tie downs built into the trunk wall to hold the netting feature. As a result, there is a bulge at those points, which could have been molded into the mat.

skool me on common core education
Bobby has 3 squirrels and Jenny has 7 apples, if tommy jumps off the roof, how many dishes can many wash in an hour when the dog barks?
My wife is a teacher. While there are some merits to it, her words not mine, she thinks how this was rolled out was moronic.
My 12yr old son is a math wiz, in Algebra 2, but getting a C in common core math...something isn't right here. And why does he have to talk CC math when he is in advanced algebra?

High school does not get you ready for the "real" world. As far as math, I haven't needed to use most of the crap they teach you in Algebra. They need to have a mandatory class that shows you how to live on your own, do your taxes, how to be responsible with your money, not a class on how to use something that your never going to use ever in your life.

Not because they say they don't use it, but because they can't figure out even the simplest of things in life because they aren't using it.
Simple things from making a home cooked meal, or cutting the recipe in half or calculating your yearly budget etc. is all based on simple math and algebra.
Start using it, or be one of the idiots.
FYI, Comparing your use of algebra to the question about common core, has nothing in common, clearly you aren't using your reading comprehension skills either.

My son gets math no problem in either method. My daughter does ok with standard math, and is easily confused by common core, but then once she get's it can understand it both ways. Both get high marks (mostly straight A's) in school. 5th grade currently.

I have to believe that in today's world with all of the technology that the youths have at their disposal that we should be able to come up with some sort of dynamic way that teaches to all children in the way they need to learn. Maybe little Johnny needs a number line, or Susie needs a story problem, or Billie just understands times tables. It seems like there should be a way to teach to each kid without forcing one way or another down their throats.
After hearing all of the parents bitch about the school system and this CC stuff I'm kinda glad I don't have children. I could see becoming the irate parent at school board meetings...and no one needs that.

I have nothing good to say about common core. Let's take a simple math problem and draw many types of shapes that are recognized as place holders in the Math problem. Let's not figure out what the exact answer is to a simple math problem, lets find something close to the answer. Close to the answer is the correct answer.
The whole program is Bulllshit!! I apologize as I live this with my kids daily. The teachers struggle to teach these methods as well. Some of them don't understand the concept and therefore the kids fail the classes. The teachers choose to skip the problematic portions and let the kids fail.
I have gone to great lengths with my oldest to help her through Math classes. Even in 7th grade the students are failing basic math, basic algebra, basic fractions, etc. I am frustrated with the whole curriculum.
Our kids are being "Dumbed Down". With the current program in place, I see this generation of kids failing at life in general.

When the teachers are rated by the "test" scores (common) of the students, eventually it will turn into a check the box issue more than help the student. It is called self-preservation. Also, some teachers will, just like the students, do better because of their particular skills.
There are a lot of other concerns with cc, but ultimately it starts with good intentions but the desired outcome will be abysmal.
I am sure that my explanation is confusing and lacking, but please know that my teachers would not have wanted to be rated by my test scores.

Our school has been using the Common Core Standard for years, well before it was required. It is NOT a curriculum, and I think that's where the problem lies. Too many schools have poorly implemented curriculum to meet the standard.
I've never (NEVER) seen any of the stupid crap people post on Facebook. Everything our kids have brought home has made sense. Some seemed clumsy, but I eventually realized it was about the thought process, and not so much about the math. I was one of those kids that breezed through math, and even did decent coasting through Calc 2 at MSU.
That said, over time, I started to do math in my head in a very different way and have found that's is precisely what the standard is pressing for. We were taught formulas that we plug numbers into to arrive at the solution. Common Core is intended to foster more abstract thinking and problem solving. It's about WHY the math works, rather than methods for simply solving. I still remember sine, cosine, and tangent, and I'm sure I can still use them properly with a calculator. I remember learning a bit about why they work, but I don't remember any of it. I bet my son will understand why they work though.
I don't add 32587 and 67127 in head head by adding digits and carrying numbers. I blow it apart in my head. 99,000 + 714 = 99714. I just made those numbers up, and I can't say it's harder to add the traditional way, but this is faster in *my* head. That's just a simple example of how they approach addition now. I'm positive our son would have excelled under the old standard, but I bet he would get the answer faster than me. He often does, because he was taught to think differently, and it's more instinctive to him.
FWIW, he's 10, in 5th grade, excelling at 6th grade math, and doing geometry and algebra. Obviously, it works for him. We haven't heard complaints from other parents in our school (although I'm sure there are some.) But I do believe our school has developed a better curriculum than most. They also do a lot more to tailor toward different types of children though, which leads them to the one mark against them from the state... "Too large of a gap from the highest to the lowest performers." They say, essentially, to hell with that. We're not going to hold back high performers, just to stay within the state's criteria. They will group the high performers together, and often have them working separately, while the teacher focuses on the rest of the class. And they will have high performers help lower performers, which seems to help both kids.
What I don't think is fair is how they rolled it out 100%, throughout K-12. It's not fair to take a 6th grader who has learned our way, and expect them to pick up where children who've gone through a Common Core curriculum from K-5.

mschaffer also makes a good point, we should not force kids to learn math any which way, we should show them options and allow them to work the problem out on paper however it works for them and show the teacher their work so that they show understanding of the problem at hand.

Also, M-STEP is the test that replaces the 44-year-old MEAP test. MEAP was not online (M-STEP is taken by students on-line) and MEAP measured the previous state standards. M-STEP (our "common core") started officially Spring 2015. The M-STEP assessment includes Michigan-created content, as well as content developed by the multi-state Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Educators from Michigan public schools helped develop and write test content that appears on M-STEP.
Comparing ourselves in a wider, multi-state assessment is a good thing in my opinion.
The biggest challenge for the schools was getting ready for the state mandated on-line testing. There was a lot of in-fighting in Lansing and many schools needed to scramble in order to have the technology in place to appropriately administer the tests.
There are also additional costs when schools consider the appropriate K-12 curriculum that is necessary to help kids become successful with the new assessment.
AND... the per-pupal funding (a schools primary income) has remained the same, with Michigan as a whole loosing students.
It's a much more complex issue than Facebook would lead you to believe....

From my experience I have two friends that are teachers in Howell and they both fully support CC education. The way they explained it to me is that by doing CC here it kind of standardizes some parts of the educational process where if a parent moved to Seattle the kid would be on a similar path there.
I took AP Chem, Math, English in high school and got straight As. When I went to college I got my Azz handed to me trying to get my engineering degree. The first year I felt so unprepared. If CC can help kids be better prepared for college then I am all for it. I just wanted to get peoples opinions on here as to understand why some people get so butt hurt by CC education. I still dont understand what the issue is. I would need to see some first hand examples of education used to be taught and what CC does.
IF CC prepares kids better for college then I cant see it being a bad thing. With that being said my ME degree did not really prepare me to be a good engineer, it just gave me a piece of paper. College doesn't prepare you to be good at your job, experience and talent does that.

I hated math when I was in elementary school, because it was always about how quickly you could write down what you memorized. Once I got to algebra and trig I enjoyed it because it was about figuring things out. Never got the hang of calculus though, which is why I'm not an engineer.

Meet Your Match Game
Instructions:Meet Your Match is a good warm-up, mingle game.
prep: You'll need pictures of things that belong in pairs, one picture for each family member. Think: peanut butter and jelly, bird and birdhouse, cake and candles.
setup: In a room away from most of the guests, lay the pictures out and stick a piece of tape at the top of each. (Packing tape works best.) Invite the kids to take one picture at a time and stick it on someone's back, then take turns taping them on each other's. (They have to be sneaky " not so sneaky that they startle Grandpa, but sneaky enough so he doesn't see which picture is on his back.) Warn everyone (not just the kids) not to talk about other people's pictures.
play: Everyone asks each other questions to figure out what's on their own back. (Examples: Is it something you can eat? Is it an animal, vege- table, or mineral? Is it bigger than a toaster?) Make sure the youngest kids understand that they're not supposed to tell people what picture is on their back until that person figures it out for themselves. Once you discover what you are, you have to find your match: If you're a basketball, look for a net; if you're a mouse, look for cheese, and so on.

Press Council of India chairperson Markandey Katju Thursday said he would continue to seek pardon on humanitarian grounds for actor Sanjay Dutt and Zaibunissa Kazi, who have been sentenced to five years in prison for their role in the 1993 Mumbai bombings.
Clarifying his position after Sanjay told reporters in Mumbai that he would not seek pardon and would surrender within the given timeframe, former Supreme Court Justice Katju said: "Sanjay Dutt may not appeal for pardon, but I will appeal for his pardon. I think he deserves pardon."
"He has said that he will not seek pardon but others can apply for pardon, and I'm going to apply for him. I'm preparing a letter today (Thursday) for pardon for both Sanjay and Zaibunnisa," Katju told a news channel.
He said he would seek pardon for both Sanjay, 53, and Zaibunissa Kazi, 70, on humanitarian grounds.
Zaibunnisa was a co-accused in the 1993 bomb blasts case and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment by the Supreme Court.
Katju had said two days ago that he received an e-mail from Shagufta, Zaibunnisa's daughter, appealing to him to seek pardon for her mother.
Elaborating on the reasons for his stance, Katju said, "This man (Sanjay Dutt) has suffered enough for 20 years. I will continue my efforts to get pardon for him. It is purely on humanitarian basis. Personally, I don't know the man. I'm not his fan and I don't see films. I'm not his relative or friend, but both Sanjay Dutt and Zaibunissa deserve pardon on humanitarian basis."
"Pardon can be granted on myriad grounds. Public good is one of them, it can be humanitarian and various grounds," Katju added.
Katju's reaction came soon after Sanjay Dutt, who has been convicted under the Arms Act for his role in the 1993 Mumbai bombings, said he would surrender when the time comes and would not be seeking pardon.
Speaking out for the first time since the Supreme Court handed down its verdict last week, Sanjay appealed to the media for privacy and said: "...When I am not going for pardon, there is no debate."
An emotional Sanjay, who broke down while addressing the media, said he had the highest respect for the court. "This a very, very tough time," he said. "Just let me be in peace till I go in."
He said he would be completing his work commitments.

Leikaru, your story is fine, but there are some major issues that you want to avoid before putting it to appreciation here in the boards. The first thing is that your narrative seems a little rushed, don't you think? Maybe you were out of ideas or you wanted to get to the point that quickly, but reading a text like that makes us (readers) fell an incredible emptiness... Why did Prof. Pine give a Lucario to Jamie? What makes him special? Why is he "the chosen one"? Out of nowhere you put Pine handling him a "powerful" Pokémon just after Jamie woke up. In my opinion, there are major lacks in this part of the text...
In the second chapter I think you could improve more the description of the battle, giving more details and that kind of stuff that makes us (readers) get stuck to your text. And why is a Pokédex saying: "Roughneck Baldy would like to battle."? Doesn't the trainer have a mouth lol? Specially a roughneck... I was expecting him to bully Jamie or something like that.
I look further to read the next chapter and know what kind of enemies is Jamie going to face!

Netherlands, 2009, 90 Minute Running Time
Topics: Documentary, History, Woman Director, Women
Program: True StoriesLanguage: English
Lady Grace Drummond-Hay's reports from the 1929 first-ever trip around the world in the Graf Zeppelin were front-page news for Hearst publications. However, the diary she kept as the only woman on this historic journey, tells a tale of unrequited love and heartbreak. In the small window of peace between the world wars, the voyage, ostensibly a symbol of hope and progress, encounters difficulties with a changing Europe. Spectacular footage of the journey from New York, across Europe, Siberia and the Pacific, shows us funeral wreaths thrown from the Zeppelin over Verdun, riots in Berlin, and the rise of Communism in Russia.
Thirteen years in the making, what started out as an ode to the industrial age, reveals itself as a beautiful and tender love story in this magnificent work compiled from archival footage, and given voice by Lady Drummond-Hay's own diaries. While the mechanics of keeping this massive dirigible in the air are mystifying enough, and the sweeping views just breathtaking, it is the voice of the narrator that really carries the drama as we hear of her futile struggle with her feelings for a past lover (journalist Karl von Wiegand) who is now shipmate, supervisor and married man.

Savings after Retirement: A Survey
Mariacristina De Nardi, Eric French and John Bailey Jones
Retired U.S. households, especially those with high income, decumulate their assets more slowly than implied by the basic life cycle model. The observed patterns of out-of-pocket medical expenses, which rise quickly with age and income during retirement, and longevity, which also rises with income, can explain a significant portion of U.S. retirement saving. However, more work is needed to disentangle these precautionary motives from other motives, such as the desire to leave bequests.

Results of a major international scientific conference summarized
Is Carob Good For You?
Preliminary research on this chocolate substitute.
Results of a major international scientific conference summarized
This year a report on a major international scientific conference on chocolate, finally revealed why we human beings crave chocolate so much. Their scientific, technical finding? "We conclude that we like chocolate because it tastes so nice."
Medically, last year a randomized controlled crossover study from Yale examining, "Acute dark chocolate ingestion." And people got paid for that too.
They found that the sugar in chocolate isn't any good for you, the fat in chocolate—the cocoa butter—isn't any good for you, but the actual cacow bean solids, which is sold as cocoa powder, is wonderful stuff, leading the journal of the American Heart Association this year to conclude that the cocoa itself can be recommended without hesitation.
Ah, but which is healthier, cocoa or the Dutch processed cocoa?
Some of you may need to go back to the basics. We have cocoa, and we have processed cocoa. And when you process food you lose nutrients.
To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring watch the above video. This is just an approximation of the audio contributed by veganmontreal.

Do you use raw cocoa or the dutch? Is your cocoa heated or processed? I am very confused as to what form of chocolate is praised in this and other videos. Is it the ground up powder from raw chocolate beans, still completely raw, that you add to your vegan ice-cream? Thank you.
I have a teaspoon of cocoa powder in my coffee every morning. Satisfies my chocolate craving and tastes fabulous :> I remember hearing about a Canadian study on cocoa consumption and reduction in skin cancer-I think it's ongoing.
There was a study done in 2008 stating woman who ate more chocolate had lower bone density. Do you have anymore information on this potential problem with chocolate
When adding cocoa to hot water, I notice it gets in my teeth. What problems might that cause, until you get to brush? Thank you.
Hi Dr. Greger, every morning I wake up with the craving to eat about 1-2 ounces of plain pecans topped with bits of dates I cut up with a few pieces of crushed cocoa beans that I stick in the dates on top of the pecans. I really like to eat this in the morning for antioxidents and the boost of energy but since I end up eating about 2 tablespoons of it every morning I clock in about 9.3 grams of saturated fat. Do the cholesterol combating components of cocoa neutralize the effects of its fats or does it pose health problems and possible weight gain?
Thank you for all of your work! You are the best!
Erin T :)
Wow, this M.D never answered ANY of the questions even though he's had like 3 years in a couple cases.
Guess I'm not really going to be taking this as a trusted source or all too reputable.
Sorry about that. I am sure he would have liked to but this site has gotten very busy over the past years, which is why I am now consulting with Dr. Greger and trying to answer everyone's questions. If any arise please let us know and I'll do my best to help.
Doctor , is it ok to take cocoa powder for pregnancy?
My question is regarding oxalates in cocoa. I have been plant based for 4 years. For at least 2 years I have been consuming spices in my morning tea based on research on this site (as updated in the new book). I include amla, turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, cayenne, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, black pepper, and cocoa powder, and I top it off with almond milk. It's spicy and delicious. But I am wondering if the oxalates (in the 1 Tablespoon of natural, not ditched, cocoa) are blocking the absorption of calcium in the almond milk and other breakfast items as well as the 500 mg calcium supplement which was also taken in the morning (and which I just gave up thanks to your research).
My recent dexa scan shows "significant" bone loss since my scan 4 years ago (and during that time I have broken an ankle and an elbow, and an MRI shows stenosis and deteriorating discs in my lower back, with one disc just about gone). I am NOT blaming this on my plant based diet, I'm just trying to get it right. It was discovered that I was vitamin D deficient 2 years ago and I have been taking D3 for that. And I have increased my daily exercise.
In addition, with cessation of the calcium supplement, I am researching how to increase calcium intake using food. I am following the daily dozen (thanks for the book!!!) and aiming for the 1200 mg (recommended by my doctor). My research turned up an article about oxalates in cocoa I know that oxalates in spinach and swiss chard block calcium absorption – does cocoa have the same effect? A cup of almond milk gives me 450 mg but am I blocking absorption by eating a tablespoon of natural cocoa powder at the same time? Should I cut the cocoa entirely or simply cut back? Thanks for your help!
Although the video states that the fat in chocolate is not good for you, I cannot find any reference in the three sources to substantiate that claim. The only reference to the fat content related to the potential for weight gain and that weight gain can lead to other health issues, not the fat in chocolate itself. It would be helpful is Dr. Greger or Dr. Gonzales would clarify this point.
Cadmium in chocolate!? OPEN Question: On the Doc's advice, I've added a couple of tbls. of Hershey's Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (the exact brand pictured in his video) to my oatmeal. Then, I came across this: http://oag.ca.gov/prop65/60-Day-Notice-2014-00635 a 2014 warning to Hershey for high levels of cadmium in it's products. A little surfing later, seems Hershey denies it & says its heavy metal levels are fine, safe, meets gov. standards, etc. Then I find this: https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/_/cocoa-flavanols/ and of course I'm not paying to see the results. Also, you'll note many organic brands didn't do any better. So, cadmium in cocoa & cacao, is it worth the risk to eat 2 or 3 table spoons daily or not? Like most things in nutrition, expose/ dosage over time matters. Admittingly, I'm now ambivalent of daily cocoa powder. Any & all info greatly appreciated, good health to you all.

Heavy Civil losses were much greater than expected this quarter, driven by higher than anticipated costs from certain projects in the Northeast where this region's loss before income taxes was approximately $3.5 million, with the remainder coming from continued completion of older projects. We have made meaningful progress against our stated goal of working through older projects that do not meet our profitability expectations. At the same time, we have secured new projects at Heavy Civil with higher associated margins, including a new, $80 million project in Cudjoe Key, Florida. Although the completion of legacy projects continues, the vast majority of Heavy Civil's current backlog entering FY 2014 reflects projects we expect to complete at improved margins. Performance and execution will be the keys for returning this segment to profitability.Other non-cash costs in the quarter were due to a further pruning of product lines that do not support our strategy to address the significant water needs of the U.S. oil and gas market. We are beginning to negotiate our first sizeable contracts in the energy sector and are extremely excited about the potential we see in this market. Our move to The Woodlands, Texas is progressing as planned and, as a result of previously announced executive changes, certain severance and other costs were also incurred in the quarter."

A literal hand full of Fillmore County wrestlers went to the individual state-wrestling tournament (all in class A). None brought home a state title, but three of the five had good showings. At 119, 26-9 Justin Doerr (LARP) advanced to the semifinals with 9-8 and 13-1 decisions. He then lost back-to-back decisions (18-2 & 15-1) before injury defaulting in the fifth place match. It gave Doerr 6th place (in a 16-man field). A junior, Justin will be back next year. At 130, LARP teammate 26-4 Jordan Theede won his opening round match 9-1. Theede then lost 9-3 in the quarterfinals. In the third place bracket, Theede ran off two straight victories, 10-4 and 5-4, before falling 5-0. Theede then won his fourth match of the tourney 6-5 in overtime, to take fifth place. A freshman, the name Jordan Theede should be oft-spoke in wrestling circles for years to come. At 189, Chatfield's 36-5 Juan Gomez won his first two matches 14-3 and 15-2. In the semifinals he fell 5-0. In the third place bracket, he lost 7-4 and 7-5 to take sixth place. Chatfield's Zach Curry (140) and LARP's Alex Hoff (Hwt) did not place. The latter three are all seniors.

Laser mapping eases infrastructure developmentBack
The company, which works mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, does most of its work for mining and mineral exploration companies. Engineers use the data from the survey to plan pit expansions, design new infrastructure such as roads, determine where to sink the next shaft and calculate earth-moving cut-and-fill operations, he notes.
"We do a lot of work for opencast mine operators, which use our data to calculate the volumes of earth that were moved. "The interest is such that one mining company has approached us to do surveys of the stockpiles every week," says Moir.
Geologists conducting airborne electromagnetic surveys of a concession area use the data from Southern Mapping Company's surveys to identify possible concentrations of ore deposits, leading to reduced exploration drilling and increased accuracy of exploration.
"Using our technology, geophysical surveys (exploration drilling), and a technique called hyperspectral analysis, the client can identify likely areas of enrichment with high accuracy," he says.
Meanwhile, t
he main interest from countries in Africa is around infrastructure and agricultural development. "Roads, rivers, railways, power lines and urban sprawl surveys are all in our repertoire," he says.
The company has measured the urban sprawl of the informal settlement on the outskirts of Polokwane, in Limpopo, and has tracked through time the reduction of the size of the informal settlement and the proportional increase of the size of the formal housing area springing up next to the settlement, he says.
Meanwhile, the company is mapping a 500-km-long railway line route in the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville). Similarly, it has mapped power lines in Kenya and is busy surveying power lines in Mozambique.
Further, by measuring the power lines and taking into account the weather conditions at the time of the survey, as well as the composition of the power cables, the company can determine which power lines can carry more electricity.
To this end, the company also commissioned tests to determine the amount by which the power can be increased and found that one major power line route in South Africa can carry 64% more electricity than it is used for and another power line can carry 51% more electricity than it currently does, he notes.
Moir identifies two main long-term trends for the company, including red, green and blue laser systems that will enable aircraft to measure the colours of points mapped without the need for photographs, even at night. A second trend is to place the systems into unmanned aerial vehicles that will conduct flights without the need for human pilots, he concludes

It's a good call, but the over-the-shoulder coquettish look of #11 seals it for me.

WTF is with the ship always in the way. Moar girls less ship.
#27 Just … WOW!
#1 and #11 I would love to see her from the front, those look like some huge melons…FLBP? I'd say so
Thanks from this retired Coastie. What an amazing ride it was back in the day, wind whistling through the taught rigging', the sounds, the smells. All hands on deck! What great memories.

Oh, yeah, nice boat too.
#15 cute as can be! #23 Lovely check out the nice Gap!!!
I just did some research of the Eagle. Apparently she is a Gorch Fock-class barque, named Horst Wessel originally used as a training vessel for the German Navy. She was the second ship in the class to be built after the class namesake, Gorch Fock. Adolf Hitler and Rudolph Hess were present at the launch and christening. The name was given in tribute to Nazi party member Horst Wessel.
#7 was found before but i can't remember where… anyone have good memory?
