William B. Esq. :
Dear Customer, thank you for choosing Just Answer. The papers that were served on you are a Motion for Default Judgment. This means that the creditor has filed a lawsuit against you, and you did not file an answer to the complaint (the very first papers filed with the court in a civil lawsuit). If you do not file an answer, the creditor wins a judgment against you automatically.
William B. Esq. :
You can oppose this motion by filing an answer to the motion for default judgment. To do this you must write an answer to the complaint and file it with the Court. The Court's self help desk will be the best place to go to get help with the proper form.
William B. Esq. :
I would suggest that you file an answer as quickly as possible to avoid the 14 day cutoff, however, if you do miss this deadline, it is possible to ask the court for a second chance in what is called a "motion for reconsideration" however, that motion is done under judicial discretion and you may not get it depending on what the court believes your reason is.
I called the Court and they said there is no form and that if I do not know how to write the "an answer" , I need to contact an attourney
Now again , on all the papers they served me , there is , their file number but not a court number i don't think
William B. Esq. :
Is there a complaint? (there should be one)
There's a ton of papers, what would the complaint be titled?
William B. Esq. :
It would be with the "summons" - the very first papers you received.
Yes , there is a complaint , with their file number , but I don't think it has the court file number
William B. Esq. :
The complaint will have the name of the case on it. Check to see if the name of the case matches the name of the summons (it is almost certain it does). Once you confirm that, check the summons, the summons should have the Court's Case No. on it.
It Does not have a COMPLAINT FILE NO. it does have a "Our File No. ". The very first papers say: :Cach, LLC PLAINTIFF vs. David Mickelson
William B. Esq. :
On one of your documents there should be a case number. If you are unable to find it, the Court Clerk should be able to get it for you, or you may be able to find it online (some courts have a "Register of Actions" on their website).
William B. Esq. :
Right now, I would recommend you focus on getting a response to the request for default judgment, as an entry of default against you will act as an enforceable judgment and you will no longer be able to contest the basis for your debt.
How do I write one? And do you think they are still will to settle if we pay them $400. a month like they once asked?
William B. Esq. :
As you are still within the 14 days, you can file an "answer brief" to the motion, asking the court to set aside the entry of default (explaining why you did not file a response to the complaint, it is a good idea to attach a "proposed answer to the complaint" (a document you will file if the court grants your motion)). You can also request oral argument to make your argument to the Court. Given your timing, this is probably a good idea.
William B. Esq. :
Here is a link to the rules of court for this procedure, you will need to read them carefully as you are held to the same standard as an attorney for following these rules: http://www.ndcourts.gov/Court/Rules/NDRoC/Rule3.2.htm
Would the case number XXXXX at the top of one of the many pages or somewhere else?
William B. Esq. :
It should be labeled Case No. XXXXXXX (I wish I could be more specific, but it does vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, in my experience it is usually underneath the section reserved for the Court stamp for filing).
I can't find it...do you think they would still settle?
William B. Esq. :
Settlement is always an option (even after a judgment is entered). Unfortunately I cannot give you specific legal advice through this forum, but I can tell you that once a judgment is entered the debtor has lost a significant amount of leverage, and even an opposition to a motion such as this can help with settlement. This is not intended to instruct you in one way or another, I do not know what your creditor's position is, and do not have any knowledge of your specific situation, but in general, once a judgment is entered the balance of litigation shifts significantly.
I did get the file number from the clerk of court , she says they have no forms. Will our filing a answer slow this process down...also we do not want to file for bankruptcy ever but if we would talk to a lawyer tomorrow how long does it take to get a "Stay"? We might end up having to do the bankruptcy thing.
William B. Esq. :
If you want to file an answer (and your court has no "form responses" - which is common) you will need to draft your own answer to the motion, which requires you to write a statement of facts, statement of law, and legal argument as to why the default should not be entered (usually courts do not like to enter default judgments so yes, most likely filing a response will delay any judgment significantly, at least a month or two if not more depending on the court's ruling).
William B. Esq. :
Depending on the amount of debt, your ability to get a payment plan together (or better yet a lump sum - borrow from friends relatives another bank etc if you have to), and your ability to pay for an attorney, you may be able to negotiate a settlement that you can afford and avoid a judgment that the other side can enforce using garnishments, levys, and other similar tactics.
Would bankruptcy take care of all of it. We owe 16,000 to one credit card, and we also have other cards we owe to. We are able to pay our mortgage , but live paycheck to paycheck. We have not used credit cards for 2 years , so we have broke our bad habit. My husband works 60 hrs a week and I work 40 hrs a week.
William B. Esq. :
I would recommend that you speak with an insolvency or bankruptcy attorney. It is best to talk to one as soon as possible to plan your bankruptcy as opposed to being forced into filing one immediately. You will get far more out of your bankruptcy that way and emerge in better financial shape. It is possible in many circumstances to deal with unsecured (credit card) debt in a Chapt. 13 bankruptcy while keeping your home (secured debt) loan and servicing it through the bankruptcy plan. Not everyone qualifies for this, and it does not always work. A Chapt. 13 takes a long time (5-7 years) but it will help you to get rid of this type of debt. Speaking with an attorney in person is the best way to understand how it will affect you and your financial situation specifically, but yes, bankruptcy is a viable option for people facing a significant amount of unsecured debt.
Should we not do the answer being we basically owe what they are saying...I'm not sure but I think they may have bought our debt for pennies on the dollar?
William B. Esq. :
I can't give you that kind of legal advice, I am very sorry. But if at all possible I would recommend going to speak with an attorney immediately. If you both have jobs a creditor that has a judgment can get a wage garnishment, and they can record the judgment against your home. If you are considering insolvency, I would only reiterate that it is far better to plan than be forced into it, and once a judgment is entered it is often too late to recapture that time.
Will doing the answer buy us some time?
William B. Esq. :
Yes (The Court will have to hear your opposition, make a ruling, and then enter the judgment, usually courts do not like to enter default judgments so the matter will open up and the case will reopen in regular litigation, but this depends on the Court's ruling).
On average how fast will the judgement be rendered if we write an answer and how fast will the judgement be rendered if we don't write an answer?
William B. Esq. :
It would depend on how backed up the Court is. If you oppose the motion and win (the case continues in litigation), you will probably have another 8-12 months before a judgment is entered one way or the other. If you oppose the motion and lose (the court enters the judgment against you anyway), it will probably take another 1.5 months. If you do nothing, judgment will probably be entered next week (14 days after the date the motion was served on you). But again, I have no experience in your specific court, and dates like this vary widely from one jurisdiction to another (and in my experience, from one courtroom to another).
How long does a stay take to go into effect?
William B. Esq. :
William B. Esq. :
(We are talking about a bankruptcy stay correct?)
Yes, do you mean after we get all our paperwork together, or immediately even before the paperwork is all together?
William B. Esq. :
As soon as you file your petition the Court will issue an automatic stay.
how long does it take to file a petition?
William B. Esq. :
It all depends on the complexity of your case and your familiarity with the system. If you take your documents to a bankruptcy attorney and have everything available (debts, assets, income) you can probably get it put together in a couple of hours. But this assumes the attorney is not doing anything when you walk in (I wouldn't count on it), and that you have everything you need, even the best intentioned debtors usually need more information and absent an emergency, it is usually best to file a complete petition instead of a piecemeal one.
William B. Esq. :
I would stress again that it is best to plan your bankruptcy rather than rush to file one, you will end up in a far better financial position than you would otherwise (even if you have to pay a little bit to a bankruptcy attorney up front).
If we pay 420 a month like they want , would they stop the lawsuit? and if they would stop the lawsuit then we could in the future declare bankruptcy if we deemed it necessary?
William B. Esq. :
That is a possibility, but you would have to work out the settlement plan with them. The 420 a month is a settlement demand and they do not have to accept it at this time, that is just something the two of you would need to agree on.
So I'm just afraid it will take some time to get into see an attorney...maybe we could get in quickly...you said it is best to not have to rush...but aren't we at the 'rush stage" already?
William B. Esq. :
You need to "rush" to take care of this motion. You have a very short amount of time to file an opposition to the motion to enter default. If you speak with a bankruptcy or insolvency attorney to discuss this, they may find that there is some strategy to opposing that motion as part of your larger financial picture. If you wait, you will lose that opportunity. There are lots of other reasons to speak with a bankruptcy attorney right now regarding a pending judgment against you. I have mentioned a few above, but it is a little too much detail to go into through this type of forum. Once a debt is made into a judgment debt, you lose many opportunities.
Ok, thank you!!

This review is from: TuneUp + AVG Anti-Virus 1 User For System Builder
Pros: Good Software
Cons: If this is OEM system builder software, and from what I know about this kind of stuff, keep in mind that that is exactly what it is, System builder software, making what you are getting nothing more then trial versions of both software, not full one year or longer subscriptions. Expect 60 to 90 days.
Other Thoughts: Thinking about it, why would you pay for software you can download for free and transfer to a new build, thus not risking it in any way to unprotected contact with the internet.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Patriot Pyro 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) PP120GS25SSDR
Pros: It is a solid State drive, Beyond that none
Cons: As others have stated, the read/write speeds don't even come close to what the Manufacture claims. Even after making sure I had all the proper updates for my machine and updating the firmware from Patriot website, I get at best 200/192 read/write with this drive using full SATAIII with proper cables in AHCI mode. Can't send it back, which I would if I could.
Other Thoughts: Although it is faster than my WD Blacks, by a bit less then a quarter margin, it is very disappointing considering other SSD drives seem to almost meet the 600 mark. I could not in good conscience recommend this drive to anyoneREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED 120mm 2 Ball Low-noise Blue LED CPU Cooler
Pros: I really like this cooler.The only thing I think that might be better is a high end water cooler. This unit keeps my i7 under load at 43c. It has a very good positive mounting system, much better then some of the zalman cooler of my past purchse. In my Antec 900-II with all fans on low, it cant even be heard.
Cons: had a bit of an issue with the supplied resister connector trying to get accurate fan speeds displyed, but that i belive was a problem with my MSI control panel rather then the fan. So I just plugged it raw and set fan speed in bios to 1000 rpm and left it at that, it cools very wellREAD FULL REVIEW

Deadline for abstracts: January 30, 2014
Over the past century, Europe has been a site of contradiction. Marked, on the one hand, by the utmost explosions of violence, it has also given rise to the most peaceful post-national political project in modern times. It has been a haven of peace and a locus of disorder and violence, giving vent to experimentation, transgression and creation, while preserving tradition and enforcing normativity.
Developed within the larger context of the European Project Culture@Work, the 2014 Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture addresses artistic latency in Europe. Latency periods are defined as states of transition pre-dating structured change and characterized by indefinition as well as what Freud considered a repression of desire and a return to normativity. These periods of cultural and artistic latency are often accompanied by social and political crisis or violence (Spanish Civil War, WWI and II, Cold War, Yugoslav Wars, austerity crisis, etc.) and despite the limitations of the context, they harbour the seeds of cultural change and revolution. In the contradictory relation of repression and creativity, it is particularly relevant to ask how does latency affect the partition of the sensible? How does a repressive context impact on artistic agency? How does art created as a reaction to the disruption of war and the destruction of life affect communal life?
The Lisbon Consortium and the Project Culture@Work together with the PhDNet in Literary and Cultural Studies (University of Giessen, Catholic University of Portugal, University of Stockholm, University of Bergamo, University of Helsinki and University of Graz) are the 2014 organizers of the Lisbon Summer School and invite work from doctoral students and post-docs working in every field of the humanities and social sciences.
Suggested topics are, amongst others:
- Latency as a cultural concept;
- War and artistic latency;
- Art, repression and change;
- European crisis and cultural policies;
- Propaganda, censorship, and cultural production;
- Latency, transition, translation;
- Affect and crisis;
- Europe as latency.

This is like the archetype for every retro-styled with the synth-soundtracked logo build in and the crackly PBS voice over. Can't believe this was made in 1980, would have guessed earlier from the quality.
As you may have noticed I haven't been very active on the blog over the past year. This is because I had decided to focus solely on my music project, Tycho for a while. I spent the last 9 months or so working with the band on a new record which is now complete. Of course, Tycho is very much an audio / visual project so I'm still working consistently on design whether it be album covers, show posters, or online assets. I was working on the cover art and developing the packaging in parallel with the recording process this time around. We recently shared the final artwork for this LP, entitled Awake (listen to the title track here). I'll go more into the reasoning behind and making of the artwork later, but for now here is a quote from this Reddit discussion of the cover art that I commented on:
This design was mean to be a flag; more of a symbol than what I would think of as traditional album art. I felt that, with physical mediums disappearing, album art didn't necessarily have to fit a given format and I wanted something that could be readily transported.
If you look at earlier artwork you'll see that I was pursuing a more maximalist / photographic direction for Tycho (e.g. http://imgur.com/a/kk93f ). But this album has a more stripped down, visceral thing going on and I wanted that reflected in the artwork. Really this is meant to be an inconized form of the sun / circle motif present in a lot of the Tycho cover art to date. Kind of like a unifying symbol for all the output that preceded this release. I see this, for various reasons, as the first true Tycho album and so wanted to focus everything into a simple form that encapsulated that idea. On a side note, there are eight color bands in the circle, each one representing a track.
The beauty of creating the artwork for the music over all these years is that I am free to develop a cohesive lineage with the imagery. From what I have seen of my peers over these past 13 or so years as a designer, we generally tend towards simplification as we go along and I think that is an important part of design: efficiency of communication. Whether this particular design is effective in that respect obviously isn't something I have the objectivity to comment on, but that was the goal at least.
The album will be released on March 18th, 2014. Here is the track listing:
Tycho – Awake (2014)
1. Awake
2. Montana
4. Dye
5. See
6. Apogee
7. Spectre
8. Plains
And those who were following along on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter know that we released the artwork first via a 9×9 grid. I printed the artwork, cut it up, and photographed it using various pieces of musical equipment as backdrops. Here's the grid in one image:
You can listen to the title track from Awake now on the Tycho Soundcloud page
More to come soon, thanks for the support!
This Mercedes-Benz W196R won the 1954 German and Swiss Grands Prix with Juan Manuel Fangio behind the wheel. It sold at auction this year for an astounding $29,619,826. Love how it hasn't been restored; the wear lends an authentic feel.
More Info / Source (thanks Nicholas)
Did an interview with The Great Discontent. Talked about the relationship between design and music and the making of the new Tycho album.
No clue how I got to 2013 without seeing Kazumasa Nagai's work. Truly inspiring. Who are the posters artists doing this caliber of work today? Do you think the poster-as-artform medium is dying?
Via Pink Tentacle
I've been working with local SF brand Mission Workshop on some upcoming projects and they sent photographer Marc Lemoine along with us for the recent Tycho tour. He got some great shots from the trip, above are a few early edits. Excited to share what we have coming up!

Google's premium Pixel C is now available directly from the company, but early reviews are mixed, to say the least. Everyone likes the form factor, but quality control issues and software scaling cloud what should have been a flawless release.
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati with industry partners, have created low-cost, smart window technology based on electro-kinetic pixels, which can dynamically adapt for brightness, color temperatures and opacity.
The camera in Google's Moto X breaks new ground by using a clear pixel to improve low-light image performance, but only time will tell whether it avoids the image quality problems that have plagued earlier efforts to use similar designs

Police: Woman shoplifted from three stores in two daysJune 19,2014Police say woman stole from 3 stores
BENNINGTON A local woman is facing three misdemeanor charges of petty larceny after police said she stole items from three local stores in two days in May.
Jennifer A. Brandmeyer, 25, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to the charges in Bennington criminal court Monday and was released without bail.
The charges against Brandmeyer were based on two affidavits, both written by Officer Keith Diotte of the Bennington Police Department.
In one, Diotte said he was dispatched May 26 to Cumberland Farms on Northside Drive in Bennington.
Based on information provided by a clerk at the store and his viewing of surveillance video later, Diotte said he believed Brandmeyer stole a 12-pack of beer.
In the second affidavit, Diotte said he was dispatched May 27 to Payless Shoe Store in Bennington Square shopping center in Bennington. A clerk at the store said she saw Brandmeyer take shoes and leave without paying for them.
Diotte said police later learned Brandmeyer had taken sunglasses and said the total amount of merchandise taken from Payless was a little more than $50.
When police arrested Brandmeyer, she also had items from JCPenney, which is in the same shopping center as Payless. The items from JCPenneys totaled about $380 according to the affidavit.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

That's practically an unthinkable achievement in light of his dreadful 2012 season, his dismal Family Night Scrimmage and having to fight off two challengers in training camp. But Crosby is off to a big start. He made all five field-goal attempts on Sunday against Detroit, including drilling a 52-yarder, and he's the only kicker in the NFC who's made nine field goals without missing any.
"It's definitely an honor to get this award and to help our team win the game and go 5-for-5," Crosby said. "I've never been 5-for-5 in a game. For me, it was a special day. It was awesome to come in today and see I got the special teams award for the NFC. My goal now is just to continue with that success and continue to work hard. I had a great day of work here today and make sure that I continue to carry that over into the game."
Crosby made just 21-of-33 field-goal attempts last season. He had his base salary docked in favor of an incentive-laden deal based on his accuracy this season and whether he's still on the roster.
So far, Crosby is cashing in and rewarding the team for its patience and faith. He's made 13 in a row, dating to the end of last season.
"I think he's really confident in what he's doing from a technique standpoint," special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum said on Monday. "He's had excellent work and I think he's at a point where he's relaxed in terms of he knows he's going to go out and execute the proper mechanics to make kicks."
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers pointed to Crosby's increased confidence.
"Yeah, I feel very confident," Crosby said. "I've put in the work. I put in the work this offseason and made sure I did my things right. I've moved on. I've moved on from bad stuff, I've moved on from good stuff and made sure I had a short memory. My mind-set's very positive right now. I've just really eliminated all the negatives that can creep in."
Packers injury report
Out: ILB Brad Jones (hamstring), OLB Clay Matthews (thumb), RB James Starks (knee), C/G Greg Van Roten (foot). Did not participate: CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring), CB Casey Hayward (hamstring), OLB Andy Mulumba (ankle).
"He's getting better," coach Mike McCarthy said of Hayward, who hasn't played a snap this season but did practice on Thursday. "A little sore after what he went through last week. We'll see where he is tomorrow. This time last week, he was able to do some individual work on Thursday. So, that's the hope."
McCarthy said he didn't think Jones would be out very long. Jones injured his other hamstring during the preseason.
Ravens injury report
Did not participate: DT Terrence Cody (knee), C Ryan Jensen (foot), LB Albert McClellan (shoulder), DT Haloti Ngata. Limited: WR Marlon Brown (thigh), RB Shaun Draughn (ankle), WR Jacoby Jones (knee), G Kelechi Osemele (back), RB Bernard Pierce (thigh), DT Marcus Spears (knee), WR Brandon Stokley (thigh).
Four-point stance-- Cornerback James Nixon was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Tuesday. That was done in response to Buffalo trying to sign Nixon to its roster, he said. An accomplished kick returner while at Temple, McCarthy said Nixon is in the mix to handle that duty on Sunday. "I would love to but at this time I'm not sure," Nixon said. "Whatever they give me, that's the job I'm going to do. If they ask me to go return, I'll gladly go return."
-- McCarthy, on facing the defending champions: "It's going to be a great atmosphere. I haven't been to Baltimore personally in years. It's a great stadium to play in. They're an outstanding football team. As you've already stated, they're the defending world champions. I thought they really played well this past week against Miami. I think this is going to be a heck of a game."
-- Nixon was replaced on the practice squad by cornerback Jumal Rolle (6-0, 188), an undrafted rookie from Catawba College in North Carolina, where he was an All-American with six interceptions as a senior. Rolle, who spent time in camp with Buffalo and New Orleans, had a predraft visit with the Packers and worked out for them on Saturday before getting signed. "When I met everybody, I felt like I wanted to be here but you can't control where you go," Rolle said of his predraft visit. "When I did take my visit here, I loved it here and loved the tradition and wanted to be a part of the team."
-- Charles Woodson was named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Week. He had four tackles, one interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in the Raiders' upset of San Diego. Woodson has 13 combined return touchdowns off of turnovers (11 interceptions and two fumble recoveries), tying Darren Sharper and Pro Football Hall of Famer Rod Woodson for the most in NFL history.

Arizona has started slowly in three of its past five games and Sean Miller has had enough. While Miller said after Arizona's 73-66 win over Stanford that part of the problem is feeling anxiety to do well before the McKale Center crowds, the same problem happened at Washington last week. Miller said the Wildcats are just lacking confidence early.

Alpabfahrt Photography Day-Trip in Appenzell
This Saturday's photography day-trip to Appenzell was an incredible success – especially considering that the weather forecast was absolutely dire! None of us could believe it, but we didn't feel a drop of rain all day while photographing the "Alpabfahrt" in and around Urnäsch.
Black & White Photography for a Creative Kick
Once upon a time, black and white photography was the most practical and economical way to photograph. If you're old enough to have shot photos in the film age (ahem… including myself there guys), then it's likely that you did some developing and printing in a darkroom. Like some film photographers, most of the darkrooms of days-past have since retired, or been converted into storage rooms or wine cellars, etc. So sad… (Sniff, sniff..).
Teufelsbruecke photography trip
Saturday's photography trip to the Teufelsbruecke (Devil's Bridge) did not dissapoint! We had a great group of photographers and spectacular weather for our photo walk between Andermatt and Goeschenen. The impressive Schöllenen Gorge gave us plenty of subject matter for experimenting with HDR (high-dynamic-range) photography. Further down towards Goeschenen we got creative with long exposure shots of the Reuss river flowing around huge granite boulders. I preferred a black and white treatment on my own photos which I think fits well with the bridge's stark architecture and it's rugged granitic surroundings.
Alpabfahrt – The Celebration of an Accident-Free Alpine Summer
During summer, cow herds feed on alpine pastures high up in the Swiss mountains. After a successful season in the alps and as soon as it is starting to get cold in autumn, the herders and their cattle descend back to the valleys, celebrating their (hopefully) accident-free summer.
Tips for Photographing Fireworks
It's that time of year in Switzerland when we start making 1st of August BBQ plans and hoping for good weather. For keen photographers it's also a chance to start thinking about about fireworks photography. Read on if you are planning to shoot a fireworks show and want some useful tips to increase your success.

MSSL Space Plasma Science Nuggets
ULF Waves above the Nightside Auroral Oval during Substorm Onset
Publication date: 11 April 2016
The first indication of substorm onset is a sudden brightening of one of the quiet arcs lying in the midnight sector of the oval, and an explosive auroral displays covering the entire night sky follows. In space, this corresponds to a detonation that releases a huge amount of energy stored in the stretched night-time magnetic fields and charged particles. This chapter reviews historical ground-based observations of electromagnetic waves and their role in detonating the substorm, and highlights new research linking these electromagnetic waves explicitly to substorm onset itself. The chapter focuses on the properties of ultra-low frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves that are seen in two-dimensional images of the aurora and discusses a wider range of physical processes that could be responsible for the azimuthally structured auroral forms along the substorm onset arc immediately before it explosively brightens.
Student Sounding Rockets to train the next generation of space scientists

The Canada-Norway Student Sounding Rocket (CaNoRock) program is a multi-national, multi-university collaboration to train undergraduate students in space science or engineering, and to recruit them into space-related graduate studies or industry.
A New Technique for Determining Substorm Onsets and Phases from Indices of the Electrojet (SOPHIE)
Publication date: 3 December 2015
Substorms are a fundamental mode of variability of the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Previous studies have shown that they can process over 1000 TJ of captured solar wind energy and, in so doing, divert magnetospheric currents through the ionoshpere. This diversion of currents results in a distinct signature in ground-based magnetometer measurements at auroral latitudes. In a new paper, Forsyth et al [2015] have developed a technique for identifying all parts of a substorm from this ground-magnetometer data.
Lightning as a Space Weather Hazard
Publication date: 2 December 2015
UK lightning rates previously have been shown to be influenced by large compressed regions of solar wind known as corotating interaction regions (CIRs). CIRs are often co-located with the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) at 1AU. A catalogue of all HCS crossings from 2000 to 2007 is computed using the change in the magnetic field direction. The average lightning rates (RL; from the UK MetOffice's radio network) and average thunder days (RTH; from audio records) were then computed for 40 days either side of the HCS crossing. These results are shown in the top two rows of the figure. 13.5-and 27-day peaks in thunderstorm activity is observed corresponding to the regularity of HCS crossings of the Earth as they rotate around with the Sun.
A physical explanation for the magnetic decrease ahead of dipolarization fronts
Publication date: 29 October 2015
Bursty Bulk Flows (BBFs) are intervals of fast Earthward plasma and magnetic flux transport in the plasma sheet, and are usually considered as the most important carriers of mass and energy towards the near-Earth region. A BBF consists of one or more individual flow bursts (FBs) [Angelopoulos et al., 1992]. Both the plasma velocity and the north-south component of the magnetotail's magnetic field inside the BBF are significantly larger than in the surrounding region. They carry a stronger magnetic field and current density on their leading edge than in the surrounding magnetotail. The front of the BBF is often associated with a sharp increase in the northward magnetic field component B_z and is thus known as the dipolarization front (DF) [Nakamura et al., 2002; Sergeev et al., 2009]. This is usually a kinetic-scale structure of width of the order of an ion gyro-radius, i.e. ~1000km.
Statistical characterisation of the growth and spatial scales of the substorm onset arc
Publication date: 12 October 2015
During southward IMF reconnection on the dayside leads to a build up of magnetic energy in the tail. As flux is piled into the tail the configuration becomes unstable leading to an explosive release in magnetic energy, termed a substorm. The rearrangement of the magnetic field is accompanied by highly dynamic substorm aurora.
Influence of solar wind variability on magnetospheric plasma waves
Publication date: 10 June 2015
Solar wind impacts the Earth's magnetic cavity driving various waves and instabilities inside the magnetosphere. The waves in the range of few mHz (ultra low frequency range, ULF) are particularly important for the dynamics of radiation belts, the populations of energetic particles trapped inside the Earth's magnetosphere. The physical mechanisms behind driving ULF wave power are not fully understood but they are known be strongly dependent on the upstream solar wind conditions. The time-average solar wind parameters, such as average solar wind speed and density, are typically used to characterise the upstream solar wind conditions. In this work, the alternative approach is taken and the solar wind conditions are characterised by the dynamic variability of solar wind parameters, statistically quantified by their standard deviations. For the statistical study, the nine-year dataset of GOES satellite observations at the geostationary orbit is processed to characterise the magnetospheric ULF wave power, while the variability of solar wind is characterised using solar wind data from the Lagrangian L1 point. It is demonstrated that the magnetospheric wave power in ULF frequency range is the most sensitive to the variability of interplanetary magnetic field vector rather than variabilities of other solar wind parameters (plasma density, solar wind speed and temperature). The work results from collaboration between MSSL, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Alberta.
Transpolar arc observation after solar wind entry into the high latitude magnetosphere
Publication date: 8 May 2015
During periods of northward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF), geomagnetic activity is generally quiet, but solar wind plasma can penetrate and be stored in the magnetosphere. Recently, a new region of solar wind plasma entry into the terrestrial magnetosphere, in the lobes tailward of the cusp was reported and high latitude magnetic reconnection was suggested to be the most probable mechanism of the entry [Shi et al., 2013]. Higher energy ions have been found by Fear et al. [2014] and interpreted as due to magnetotail reconnection during periods of northward IMF. Since these events are rare, the fate of the entered plasma has not been widely studied. It is not known whether those plasmas entry will contribute to aurora. In this study, with very unique conjugate observations of aurora and high latitude in-situ observations, we investigate a possible link between solar wind entry and the formation of transpolar arcs in the polar cap.
The magnetospheric substorm at Mercury
Publication date: 8 May 2015
Magnetospheric substorms are space weather disturbances powered by the rapid release of magnetic energy stored in the lobes of planetary magnetic tails. Despite the comprehensive observations of substorm at Earth, there are rare detail observations of substorm processes at Mercury.
The Earth's foreshock: simulations and in-situ satellite data
Publication date: 29 April 2015
The super-magnetosonic solar wind impinging the Earth's magnetic field creates the bow shock, the giant bow-shaped boundary shielding the Earth's magnetosphere from the interplanetary environment. At this boundary, the plasma is compressed and heated while slowing down to sub-magnetosonic flow speeds. In fluid theory no information can travel upstream of a shock, but kinetic processes can cause solar wind particles to be reflected back off a shock and propagate upstream along the magnetic field lines. The upstream region magnetically connected to the bow shock, where reflected particles can interact with the solar wind, is called the foreshock. As the foreshock cannot be described by plasma fluid theory, the kinetic plasma simulations are required to understand the large-scale foreshock dynamics.

Offering students the ability to learn from carefully selected examples is one of the foundations of a successful business communication course. Bovée-Thill textbooks offer students dozens of annotated model documents that show how communications works—or doesn't work—in real-life scenarios. These documents are divided between examples from real companies and examples that the authors created to demonstrate specific communication principles and practices. Here is one of the many real-company examples, in this case a blog post from the social media marketing agency Ignite. The blue annotations point out specific steps this writer took to craft unified, coherent paragraphs, including the effective use of transitions, topic sentences, and supporting details. By using examples from real companies, Bovée-Thill texts emphasize to students that the skills they are developing in the business communication course have direct and important relevance in the workplace, and that honing these skills will help them succeed on the job. While some texts have few, if any, real-company examples, Bovée-Thill texts have long been the market leaders in providing a rich selection of real-life messages from a variety of interesting companies. Here is one of the model documents created by the authors, one of the many before-and-after pairs that show students how particular problem areas in a draft message can be improved. The "Ineffective" version contains several distinct problem areas, and the blue annotations clearly point these out so that students can understand why the message is ineffective. The "Effective" version corrects those weak areas, and blue annotations explain specifically what was done to make the improvements. With all Bovée-Thill model documents, the points illustrated in the example messages are tied closely to the chapter material so that students get immediate confirmation of the principles they are studying. By studying these examples throughout the course, students can see how the concepts they are learning are put to use by professional communicators, and they have numerous models to follow for completing course activities and for writing their own important messages, such as employment cover letters. The model documents use a variety of media that represent the tools used by professionals in the workplace. Many of the models are also linked to online activities on mybcommlab to give students practice at revising documents using these same principles addressed in the print document. To order an examination copy of a Bovée-Thill business communication text, send an email to Pearson Education's Sampling Department at the address shown on the screen (firstname.lastname@example.com). Extensive portfolios of model documents are just one of the many advantages that you and your students can gain from using a Bovée-Thill business communication text. By offering them a diverse selection of models to learn from, you will help them grasp the key points of your course faster and more effectively and help prepare them for the demands of writing on the job.
