Ten Minutes
It was ten minutes before the war
The quietest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes before the war
And everything was looking good
It was ten minutes during the war
The sickest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes during the war
And everything was dying fast
It was ten minutes after the war
The emptiest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes after the war
And there was nothing left
No more war
Is that what it takes for
No more war
No more war
Is that what it takes for
No more war
It was ten minutes

Skip to Main Content
Comparing to conventional microwave filters, microwave photonic filters (MPFs) have attracted increasing interest in the last decade for their advantages, such as huge bandwidth, electromagnetic immunity as well as reconfiguration and tunability [1]. Now, MPFs are used broadly ranging from radar, satellite to wireless communications. In order to process random and unpredictable signals, tunable and reconfigurable MPFs are highly desirable in these systems. To achieve this target, both the central operating frequency and bandwidth of MPFs are required to be tuned [2]. Different optical implementations of MPFs have been proposed [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Among the MPFs, the notch filter can play a critical role in microwave photonic systems to enable the blocking of undesired spectral contents and signal monitoring [10]. Notch MPFs with high quality have been previously demonstrated using differential fiber-delays [11], Bragg gratings [12], and high-birefringence fiber-based optical components [13], [14], [15]. Compared to these fiber optic systems, silicon-based waveguides can offer distinct advantages of increased stability and reliability, compactness, capability of integration with electronics [10]. In recent years, some MPFs based on silicon microring/disk resonators have been presented, indicating excellent characteristics of reconfigurability [16] or bandwidth tunability [17], but the design and fabrication of the devices are a little complex and difficult. InP-based optical microracetrack notch optical filter was reported [18], which may have potential applications in the notch MPF.
In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a notch MPF based on cascaded microring resonators (MRRs) with different radii. The fabrication is quite simple with only once etching. Due to the vernier effect of the cascaded MRRs spectrum, the central operating frequency and bandwidth of the notch MPF can be easily tuned by changing the laser wavelength. The best rejection ratio of the notch filter is larger than 40 dB. Moreover, because of moving the complexity from the filter to the laser, our scheme offers a simple and integrated solution for low-cost and compact MPFs.
The notch MPF is based on the cascaded MRRs with different free spectral ranges (FSRs, i.e., $\hbox{FSR}_{1}$ and $\hbox{FSR}_{2}$). The MRR has a single bus waveguide coupled structure, so the transmission spectrum of the through port is a comb notch filter. Due to the vernier effect, the transmission spectrum of cascaded MRRs is a series of bimodal distribution whose interval is an arithmetic sequence. When a random radio frequency (RF) is modulated onto an optical carrier by a Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) under small signal modulation, there are an optical carrier $(f_{0})$ and both sidebands ($f_{0} + f_{1}$ and $f_{0} - f_{1}$) in the frequency domain. Assume that the optical carrier is located at the middle of a bimodal interval of the MRRs, as shown in Fig. 1(a), then the frequency response of the RF signal reveals a notch filter, as shown in Fig. 1(b). In addition, the notch frequency of RF response is half of the optical bimodal interval. By aligning the optical carrier at the middle of different bimodal intervals, one may tune the notch frequency of RF response. On the other hand, if the optical carrier is slightly shifted from the middle of the bimodal interval, as shown in Fig. 1(c), the bandwidth of the notch MPF can be also tuned according to the frequency offset, as shown in Fig. 1(d). In this way, the bandwidth of the notch MPF can be changed freely while keeping the central frequency constant.
We use a finite-element mode solver (COMSOL Multiphysics) to design the structure of MRR and bus waveguide (WG) and to optimize the performance. In order to reduce the transmission loss of the WG, we design a ridge WG. After optimization, the WG width of both bus WG and bending WG takes about 500 nm. The Si shallow and deep layers have thicknesses of 100 nm and 240 nm, respectively. Fig. 2(a) simulates the effective index of both bus WG and bending WG. One can see that the effective index difference between the WG and MRR is neglectable. Fig. 2(b) calculates the Q value of the transfer spectrum of a single MRR with a radius of 75 $\mu\hbox{m}$. One can see that the best coupling gap between the bus WG and bending WG is about 330 nm. In such a case, the simulated effective index and group index of the MRR are 2.82 and 3.98, respectively, when the incident wavelength is 1550 nm. Fig. 2(c) shows the cross section of a ridge MRR on oxide substrate. The energy profile of the fundamental radial TE mode is shown. It is clear that majority of the light-wave energy distributes in the middle of the waveguide.
To experimentally demonstrate the compact notch MPF, we fabricate two cascaded MRRs on the commercial silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. Fig. 3(a) shows the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of our on-chip cascaded MRRs. The radii of two MRRs are 72.73 $\mu\hbox{m}$ and 75.0 $\mu\hbox{m}$, respectively. The cross section of the MRRs shows a ridge waveguide. The top silicon thickness of the SOI wafer is 340 nm, and the buried oxide layer thickness is 2 $\mu\hbox{m}$. The device layout was transferred to ZEP520A photoresist by E-beam lithography (Vistec EBPG5000 +ES). Then, the upper silicon layer was etched downward for 240 nm to form a ridge waveguide through induced coupled plasma (ICP) etching (Oxford Instruments Plasmalab System100). The waveguide width of both bus waveguide and bending waveguide is about 500 nm. The coupling gap between the bus waveguide and bending waveguide is about 330 nm. The zoom in coupling region is shown in Fig. 3(b). We employ the vertical grating coupler to couple the optical signal from fiber to silicon waveguide, and the zoom in grating coupler is shown in Fig. 3(c). The grating coupler has a period of 630 nm, and the duty cycle is 56%. The coupling loss of the grating coupler is measured to be 5 dB for a single side.
Fig. 4(a) shows the measured transmission spectrum of the cascaded MRRs using an optical spectrum analyzer (AQ6370B). One can clearly see a series of bimodal distribution whose interval is an arithmetic sequence. The overlapped resonant wavelength for the two MRRs is 1542.98 nm. Beyond this wavelength, the bimodal interval is increased by 5 GHz per FSR period. The FSR of these two MRRs is 160 GHz and 165 GHz, and the 3-dB bandwidth is 0.04 nm and 0.038 nm, respectively. Fig. 4(b) shows a zoom in spectrum, where the bimodal intervals are 25 GHz and 30 GHz, respectively. If the optical carrier is located at the middle of the bimodal interval, the obtained notch MPF has a notch frequency of 12.5 GHz and 15 GHz, respectively.
The frequency response of the notch MPF can also be deduced analytically. Assume that the optical carrier is modulated in an MZM by the RF signal, and the MZM bias is set at the linear region to produce double-sideband modulation. The total voltage offset can be described as TeX Source $$V (t) = {1 \over 2}V_{\pi} + \alpha V_{\pi}\cos (\omega_{\rm RF}t)\eqno{\hbox{(1)}}$$ where $V_{\pi}$ is the half-wave voltage, $\omega_{\rm RF}$ is the angular frequency of the RF signal, and $\alpha$ is the modulation depth.
In the case of intensity modulation, the output optical field of the MZM can be described by TeX Source $$E_{\rm out} (t) = E_{i}\cos (\omega_{0}t) \cos \left[{\pi \over 2V_{\pi}} \cdot V (t) \right]\eqno{\hbox{(2)}}$$ where $E_{i}$ is the input optical field, and $\omega_{0}$ is the angular frequency of the optical carrier.
Then, we substitute (1) into (2) and neglect the high-order sideband, the output optical field of the MZM under a small signal model can be described by TeX Source $$E_{\rm out} (t) = \sqrt{P_{0}} \left[J_{0} (m) e^{j\omega_{0}t} - J_{1} (m) e^{j (\omega_{0} - \omega_{\rm RF}) t} - J_{1} (m) e^{j (\omega_{0} + \omega_{\rm RF}) t} \right]\eqno{\hbox{(3)}}$$ where $P_{0}$ is the optical power of the source, $J_{n}$ is the $n$ th-order Bessel function of the first kind, and $m$ is the intensity modulation index. After the signal is transmitted in the cascaded MRRs with a power transmission function of $H(\omega)$, each frequency component will multiply a different frequency weight of $H(\omega)$, so the output optical field can be described as TeX Source $$E (\omega) = 2\pi \sqrt{P_{0}} \left[J_{0} (m) \sqrt{H (\omega_{0})} - J_{1} (m) \sqrt{H (\omega_{0} - \omega_{\rm RF})} - J_{1} (m) \sqrt{H (\omega_{0} + \omega_{\rm RF})} \right].\eqno{\hbox{(4)}}$$ After detecting of the square-law photodetector (PD) and neglecting the ${\rm J}_{1}^{2}$ term, we obtain the alternative current (ac) term of the current, which is equal to the product of ${\rm E}(\omega)$ and its conjugation TeX Source $$i_{ac} \propto 4\pi^{2}P_{0}J_{0} (m) J_{1} (m) \sqrt{H (\omega_{0})} \times \left[\sqrt{H (\omega_{0} - \omega_{\rm RF})} + \sqrt{H (\omega_{0} + \omega_{\rm RF})} \right]. \eqno{\hbox{(5)}}$$ From (5), we can see that if the positive and negative first-order sidebands are aligned at the double notches of the MRRs, respectively, the response of the MPF is a null; otherwise, if both sidebands are far away from the notches, the response is a constant. Therefore, a notch MPF can be obtained. Since the optical carrier is at or near the middle of bimodal intervals, $H(\omega_{0})$ is nearly a constant. So the MPF frequency response is mainly determined by the summation of two sidebands' response.
We use the measured spectrum of the cascaded MRRs and substitute it into (5) to calculate the notch MPF response. Fig. 5(a) and (b) shows the notch MPF response when the laser wavelength is located at different bimodal intervals and is just slightly shifted in one bimodal interval, respectively. In order to illustrate the tunability of the central frequency, three different wavelengths at 1546.796, 1548.068, and 1549.352 nm are considered as the optical carriers. In these cases, the bimodal intervals of the MRRs are 15 GHz, 20 GHz, and 25 GHz, respectively. So the notches of the MPF are 7.5 GHz, 10 GHz, and 12.5 GHz, as shown in Fig. 5(a). Then, assume that the laser wavelength is located at the middle of bimodal interval of 30 GHz, and the laser wavelength is then shifted by −1.5 GHz, −2.0 GHz, and −2.25 GHz, respectively. Fig. 5(b) shows the simulation of the bandwidth tunability of the notch MPF. It is clear that the bandwidth is varied. Therefore, both central frequency and 3-dB bandwidth $(\hbox{BW}_{3\,{\rm dB}})$ are tunable in our scheme.
In order to verify the theoretical analysis and the simulation results, we carry out experiments with the configuration, as shown in Fig. 6. A tunable laser diode (TLD) emits a continuous-wave (CW) beam, which has a precisely tuning resolution of 1 pm. The CW beam is modulated by an MZM, which has a modulation bandwidth of 20 GHz. The vector network analyzer (VNA) (Anritsu MS2028C) has a maximum sweeping frequency of 20 GHz. An electrical amplifier (EA) is used to amplify the RF signal from the VNA. A forward erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is used to boost the input optical power. A polarization controller (PC) is required since the silicon waveguide operates only in transverse electrical (TE) mode. A backward EDFA is used to compensate the power attenuation by the chip loss. The integrated chip of MRRs is coupled to optical fiber by the vertical grating coupler, which has a 3-dB coupling bandwidth of about 30 nm in $C$ band. After amplification by the backward EDFA, the optical signal is converted to electrical signal by the PD and analyzed by the VNA. The PD has a bandwidth of 40 GHz.
Fig. 1 illustrates that, by changing the laser wavelength, we can achieve a notch MPF whose central frequency and bandwidth are variable. Fig. 4(a) proves that the cascaded MRRs have a bimodal distribution due to the vernier effect. Therefore, there should be a mirror distribution in the region shorter than the overlapped resonant wavelength, i.e., the region from 1532 nm to 1542 nm. Then, we select seven laser wavelengths to be aligned at the middle of the bimodal intervals of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 GHz, respectively, and the measured notch MPF is shown in Fig. 7(a).
One can see that the notch frequencies are 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, and 17.5 GHz, respectively. Since the spectrum is a series of bimodal distribution whose interval is an arithmetic sequence, the notch frequencies of the notch MPF change as an arithmetic sequence as well. Therefore, the central frequency of the notch MPF is tunable. Fig. 7(b) further demonstrates the 3-dB bandwidth and rejection ratio of the frequency response. As the notch frequency increases, the rejection ratio of the notch MPF increases first and then keeps constant. However, the 3-dB bandwidth decreases. Therefore, the notch MPF has better frequency response at high frequency than at low frequency. This feature can be explained with spectral feature of the cascaded MRRs. In the low-frequency region, the bimodal notches are very close and have strong crosstalk to each other. So the rejection ratio of the notch response is not high at the low frequency.
It should be noted that the FSRs of the two cascaded MRRs can be designed closer. Moreover, it is not difficult to fabricate such MRRs. If the bimodal intervals of two MRRs are designed to be smaller, the central frequency of the notch MPF can be tuned more elaborately. On the other hand, since the 3-dB bandwidth of the two MRRs is around 0.04 nm, the bimodal notches of two MRRs may be overlapped to induce the crosstalk if the bimodal intervals are too close, which can be proved by the experimental results in Fig. 7.
Now, the laser wavelength is located at the middle of bimodal interval of 30 GHz and shifted slightly. The frequency offset to the middle frequency can cause the bandwidth changed. Fig. 8(a) shows the tunable bandwidth of the notch MPF under different frequency offset. When the frequency offsets are set at −1.5 GHz, −2.0 GHz, and −2.25 GHz, one may see the 3-dB bandwidth variation and the rejection ratio variation. In Fig. 8(b), it is clear that as the frequency offset increases, the 3-dB bandwidth also increases from 6 GHz and 9 GHz, while the rejection ratio decreases.
From (5), one can see that RF responses of two sideband components ($\omega_{0} - \omega_{\rm RF}$ and $\omega_{0} + \omega_{\rm RF}$) could not reach the minimum simultaneously under certain frequency offset. Therefore, the rejection ratio would decrease under the frequency offset. Besides, due to the summation effect of two misaligned notch frequency responses, the 3-dB bandwidth would increase under the frequency offset. It should be noted that if the frequency offset is appropriate, the frequency response could be a flat band-stop MPF. For example, when the frequency offset is −2 GHz, a flat band-stop MPF is shown in Fig. 8(a).
It should be noted that in our scheme, both central frequency and 3-dB bandwidth are varied by selecting different laser wavelengths. The silicon waveguides including the grating coupler and the ring waveguide are fabricated with ICP etching for only one time. No thermal or electrical nodes are auxiliary, so the silicon processing is quite simple. However, if the notch MPF needs to be precisely manipulated and continuously tuned, then an improved approach is required to enhance the spectral adjustment by fabricating the heater or electrode on the silicon waveguide.
A compact notch MPF based on cascaded MRRs has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The central operating frequency and 3-dB bandwidth of the MPF can be easily tuned by locating the laser wavelength at the middle of different bimodal intervals and slightly shifting the laser wavelength, respectively. In the experiment, we obtain a high rejection ratio larger than 40 dB, a central frequency tuning range larger than 17 GHz, and a wide tunable bandwidth range from 6 GHz to 9 GHz. Our experiment offers a low-cost and small-size integrated MPF scheme, which can be potentially used to reject certain undesired RF bands in microwave photonic systems.

|Francis J. Turner, editor.
"As Canadians, we are all touched by some aspect of social welfare, either as recipients, donors, or taxpayers. But despite the importance of the social network in our country, there has been no single source of information about this critical component of our society. Even professionals in the field of social work or social services have not had a comprehensive volume addressing the myriad features of this critical societal structure. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work fills this need." "Over five hundred topics important to Canadian social work are covered, written by a highly diverse group of social workers representing all aspects of the field and all areas of the country. Practitioners, policy makers, academics, social advocates, researchers, students, and administrators present a rich overview of the complexity and diversity of social work and social welfare as it exists in Canada." "The principal finding from this project upholds the long-held perception that there is a uniquely Canadian model of social work that stands as a useful model for other countries. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work is an important source of information for both Canadians and interested groups around the world."--Jacket.

SAN ANTONIO -- The Dallas Mavericks will be without Dirk Nowitzki tonight against the San Antonio Spurs and as if the situation isn't dire enough, Dallas could be down another starter. Center Tyson Chandler is under the weather and missed the morning shootaround.
Asked if Chandler will be able to play, coach Rick Carlisle said, "Hopefully."
Chandler was having a difficult time speaking after Thursday's practice because his voice was going hoarse. Later Thursday night he took to his Twitter account to ask for advice on what to take when you lose your voice.
Fourth-string center Alexis Ajinca said he expects to make his second consecutive start at power forward. If Chandler is unable to play, that leaves Carlisle with an interesting decision. He can start backup Brendan Haywood or former Spurs backup center Ian Mahinmi, who performed well the last time the Mavs played in San Antonio.
Mahinmi received playing time in that Mavs victory on Nov. 26 because Carlisle suspended Haywood for the game after a dust-up between the two at the morning shootaround. Haywood has yet to face the Spurs this season. Carlisle curiously did not play him in the second meeting on Dec. 30 in Dallas. It is Haywood's only DNP-CD of the year.

Discussion in 'Beer Releases' started by draheim, Jun 21, 2013.
Thursday the 27th in Portland Oregon , I'll be there with open arms
I do not believe it will be soured, I'll check again but I didn't read this any where and I follow
This pretty close
they flash pasteurize everything from their barrel program as far as i know. therefore, i think the blend will probably be awesome, and not ruin the beer.
as for the idiotic "best after" date they add to beers like this, i would ignore that...
" but we soured a small portion of the final blend."
If it gives it a dried fruit kind of tang, that's ok by me. But, I just hope it doesn't make it a sour stout/porter
You need an X-tra X in all of those, my friend
had XXII in a Portland bar a few years ago. Didnt realize what I was drinking at the time and how rare it was. always wondered why I could never find it again. It was truly a great beer
A small portion will be soured, does not a sour beer make.
They did release it...very briefly, and only in Bend, I believe. They sold it at the brewpub for a bit and the brewery itself.
I've tried it a few times on tap at local Deschutes tap takeovers during SF Beer week. I've also had it in the bottle at a local bottle share (uber rare). They also served it via bottles at the Portland brewpub either last year or the year before. Agreed that it is absolutely delicious!
While there is certainly a lot of truth in what you say, especially in modern American brewing, traditionally smoked malt draws the line between porter and stout. I still judge beer in this way, a porter with apparent smoke will lose points, as will a stout without.
by 'traditionally' are you referring to your own tradition?
The XXV does not even real ease until today.
Didn't know they actually sold any bottles to go, those must be very rare indeed. I had it from the bottle last summer at the US Olympic trials in Eugene during one of the nightly reserve series beer tastings Deschutes was doing, and it was wonderful. I did see the problem with the sediment from the cocoa butter, but it didn't negatively affect the flavor of the beer, chocolatey deliciousness was everywhere.
That being said they have not released the XXV yet anywhere, it gets released today, they do not do pre-releases of this beer.
Yes they sell bottles limited to 6 22oz when released I will pick up a case today, (when it is released).
Oh I meant the XXII. I was under the impression from the Deschutes reps I talked to they never released bottles for sale.
The label for FFF's "Permanent Funeral" simply says "Pale Ale" (it's even called a pale ale in the description of the beer straight from the brewery's mouth), but it clocks in at over 10% ABV and 100 IBUs.
I want you to argue to me that it is really just a pale ale because "the label says so".
That is wierd, maybe they want it for themselves , ive have picked up bottles every year it has been released so far.
Not because the label says so, because the people who brewed the beer say so.
Time for someone to start making pale ale's and calling them white stouts (or would that be white porters?).
gawd, i love that beer.
don't give a shit what the label says, enjoying the inside is really all that matters.
Apparently a white/pale stout is actually a barleywine.
This thread is hilarious, history says that a stout is a strong porter created for shipping long distances.
So in a nutshell they are the same / kinda / sorta / Ok I dont care / really.
Ok here.
If we go back to the latter half of the 18th century and the first part of the 19th century, stout, more particularly brown stout, was simply the name for the strongest version of porter. Here's a quote from a book called "A General Dictionary of Commerce, Trade and Manufactures," published in 1810:
"Porter may be divided into two classes, namely brown-stout and porter properly so called … Brown-stout is only a fuller-bodied kind of porter than that which serves for ordinary drinking. A great deal of this is exported to America and the West Indies."
Got that last post from here http://www.beerconnoisseur.com/porter-versus-stout
Great article on the subject
XXII never made it to distro aside from local sales. There's a lot of information about it floating around online.
Was there just a ton of XXIV last year or do people in AZ just not care for this brew? We've got cases and cases of last year's still around and it's pretty much available in every bottle shop...
I would think that hot weather states do not drink strong porters/stouts as much as northern states ( I would be curious to see a study done on this).
I know one of the last things I look to do on a 90 degree day after mowing the lawn is chug down a 10% syrupy porter.
The bottle I drank on release was pretty meh, so I can see people passing up on this. The two times I had it on tap were sublime however, so I picked up a few more bottles.
Grab it!! It is one of the good ones.
infected, bra.
undissolved chocolate, bra.
Someone need a bra? or a Bro? Or a mansier?
So let's hear it....anybody in Portland or Bend get to drink this today?
I'm wondering how long it will take to see this in the Seattle area....guess I'll have to ask the beer dude at Total Wine what he's got on order. I should also ask if it's possible to have them hold a bottle or case for me. I'd even pay in advance....
Not yet but I will at 4pm, fill you in later this evening
Not infected
Same here, brother...
We got plenty of XXIV in SW Missouri this year, now Abyss was another story. Can't wait for the XXV!
ok so here is my $.02, I liked it well enough but it is Tart and a tad sour not over the top but enough that I dispensed with buying a full case and went for 3 bottles only, I am hoping it will mellow a little in the next year.
Don't get me wrong I think they did good on this beer. I would order it again at $6 for a 9oz pour, which I will do in Bend OR over the 4th of July holiday. Hope this gives you a little insight on the XXV. Also had a XXI, yummy.
Happy drinking!!
Oh and on the XXII it was un-dissolved Chocolate they still served in kegs but could only get about 3/4 keg and throw the rest out.

"Excellent quality of paper, print and design. I used white lettering and a striped gold envelope with the invitation. Coordinated perfectly. The print quality is excellent. I needed to change the start time of the party on the invitation a day after I submitted my order. I contacted Tiny Prints and they graciously accommodated my request perfectly. I am very pleased and will be back."
"I love the surprise party card that I chose for my mother's 60th surprise party! The design is chic. The original color scheme was a chocolate brown background and light pink writing. I changed the card to a black background and hot pink writing. I love the changes that were made. The paper and printing is an excellent quality. I am so happy that I chose to get envelopes that came addressed. For such a small fee, Tinyprints has saved me a great deal of time! And the look of the envelopes is neat and classy. I look forward to using Tinyprints for the next party that I plan. Thank you!"
"I am using this pretty card in the coral color to coordinate with the baby shower wreath invitation for a back-to-back double shower invite. The size and colors match perfectly and will definitely be the talk of the shower ! Thanks to the design staff for making my wording fit the small space !"
"This card came out so cute/ i changed around the font and some of the colors a little but that was just my preference. I have gotten a ton of compliments!"
"The text on this card was very easy to read and the design of it is beautiful. The paper is very thick and sturdy. I really think this is a hip surprise birthday card. I would highly recommend it."

The Kissenger Makes Virtual Kissing Seem Even Lamer Than We Imagined
I was a skeptic about the idea of virtual kissing to begin with. But where to start with the Kissenger, the robot that replicates kissing between long distance lovers? The cheesy production of the video with the bad club music? Or the fact that it is a pig? Or that it oinks while smooching? Let's… More »

The influence of hydrological regime and grazing management on the plant communities of a karst wetland (Skealoghan turlough) in Ireland
Abstract:Question: What is the influence of hydrological regime, soils and management on the plant community composition and species richness of Skealoghan turlough (groundwater dependent calcareous wetland).
Location: Skealoghan turlough, County Mayo, Ireland.
Methods: Percentage cover of vascular plants and bryophytes were recorded, and data on hydrological regimes, soils and management were collected. Data were analysed using multivariate statistical techniques.
Results: A total of 69 species of vascular plants and mosses were recorded. Cluster analysis grouped the samples into two separate communities, the Cirsio-Molinietum and the Ranunculo-Potentilletum anserinae plant communities. The plant community composition and species richness followed a main gradient down into the turlough basin, but also varied with microtopography, resulting in a mosaic of vegetation types.
Conclusions: The biodiversity and conservation value of the site is linked to the heterogeneity in its physical environment in which hydrology, soils and grazing management all play critical roles.

Amateur Radio Parity Act – Round II
Written by: David Firmin on Monday, November, 30th, 2015
Categories: State Legislation
In a prior blog we notified you of the pending approval of the Amateur Radio Parity Act S. 1685 by the Senate Committee on Commerce, and urged a call to the committee members. The bill has since passed the committee. However, some senators have opposed the bill on the basis that it goes a step too far [Read More...]

South of Tabanan
Driving in the southern part of Tabanan district takes you though many charming villages and past a lot of vigorously growing rice. The fields are revered by many as the most productive in Bali. About 10km south of Tabanan is Pejaten, a centre for the production of traditional pottery, including elaborate ornamental roof tiles.
Balian Beach
Ever more popular, Balian Beach is a rolling area of dunes and knolls overlooking pounding surf. It attracts surfers and those looking to escape the bustle of south Bali. You can wander between cafes and join other travellers for a beer, to watch the sunset and to talk surf.
Between the walls of traditional family compounds in the village of Marga, there are some beautifully shaded roads – but this town wasn't always so peaceful. On 20 November 1946, a much larger and better-armed Dutch force, fighting to regain Bali as a colony after the departure of the Japanese, surrounded a force of 96 independence fighters.
Pura Taman Ayun
The huge royal water temple of Pura Taman Ayun, surrounded by a wide, elegant moat, was the main temple of the Mengwi kingdom, which survived until 1891, when it was conquered by the neighbouring kingdoms of Tabanan and Badung. The large, spacious temple was built in 1634 and extensively renovated in 1937.
The 14-hectare monkey forest of Bukit Sari is strictly for monkey-lovers. There are masses of the creatures here and they will beg food from you and possibly steal something from your bag or head (glasses are a popular item to take). If these sorts of antics don't appeal then you can give this stop a miss.
Around Negara
At the southern fringe of Negara, Loloan Timur is a largely Bugis community (originally from Sulawesi) that retains 300-year-old traditions. Look for a few distinctive houses on stilts, some decorated with wooden fretwork. You can see bull-race practices Sunday mornings at a football field near Delod Berawan.
Belimbingsari & Palasari
Two fascinating religious towns north of the main road are reason enough for a detour. Christian evangelism in Bali was discouraged by the secular Dutch, but sporadic missionary activity resulted in a number of converts, many of whom were rejected by their own communities. In 1939 they were encouraged to resettle in Christian communities in the wilds of west Bali.

A company called MW-Line in Switzerland has been busy creating solar catamarans for tourism operations, where quietness and clean fuels are major pluses.

Honda has begun selling new thin-film solar cells in Japan. The solar cells are made with a compound of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS), rather than the conventional silicon. The cells are said to be "greener" because there is less carbon dioxide generated during their production. Some pundits believe that CIGS cells may become the low cost photovoltaic cell …
Multifaceted Eco-Tower For Siberia
Woah, plans are afoot to build this tower above the skyline of Khanty Mansiysk in Siberia. Set high on a hill in a densely wooded area, the tower rises above two podium buildings each faceted like a cut diamond, reflecting and refracting natural light to illuminate the interior. It will be a mixed-use building, providing amenities for the city.
25 Houses Under 3000 Square Feet
As the Small House Society points out, compact homes are efficient in many ways: they require less power, they require less maintenance, they require less materials to build, and they have smaller environmental footprint. Another advantage is that you can invest in land, rather than spend money building a huge home.

Of all the things I have learned so far in ground school, airspaces seem to be the most confusing for me.
Is there any easy way to remember how they all work with each other, shelves, minimums, how they look on charts, etc etc (you know, since just about everything in aviation has an acronym or a phrase to help remember!).
Or am I just gonna have to spend every last waking moment for the next week reviewing them over and over and over and over again?

An Asthma Action Plan (AAP) is a written plan that outlines how to manage your child's asthma.
The asthma action plan shows your child's daily treatment, such as what kind of medicines to take and when to take them. Your child's plan describes how to control asthma on a daily basis and how to handle worsening symptoms, or attacks. The plan explains when to call the doctor or go to the emergency room or urgent care.
If your child has asthma, all of the people who care for him or her should know about your child's asthma action plan. These caregivers include babysitters and providers at daycare centers, schools and camps. These caregivers can help your child follow his or her action plan.
We measure the number of families receiving an AAP both in the outpatient clinic as well as when a child is discharged from an inpatient unit after having difficulties with asthma. The providers in the Breathing Institute measure this indicator because it is important for families to have this resource available at all times, and the Breathing Institute is committed to providing the necessary education and tools to have you feel confident to respond to your child's asthma at home.
After a child has been hospitalized for asthma, it is very important to consistently manage symptoms. The lungs are in a more vulnerable state, and making sure medicines are taken exactly as prescribed as well as avoiding triggers is important in returning the child to his or her previous healthy state.
|>90% of inpatients are discharged with an AAP
|93% of inpatients were discharged with an AAP
(3% higher than our goal)
|95% of inpatients were discharged with an AAP
(5% higher than our goal to-date)
Keeping your child symptom-free at home is also very important, so in the Breathing Institute we make AAPs a priority during outpatient visits as well.
|>90% of outpatients are sent home with an AAP
|79% of outpatients were sent home with an AAP
|89% of outpatients are sent home with an AAP
While we aren't meeting our goal yet, we've made great progress since making AAPs a priority. We've improved so much by paying close attention to the data, educating our providers/staff, and continuing to work to get better.
