(June 8, 2010)--San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro joined the CPS Energy Board of Trustees and The University of Texas at San Antonio on Tuesday to announce a 10-year, $50-million agreement to position San Antonio as a national leader in green technology research.
Castro called the creation of the Texas Sustainable Energy Research Institute at UTSA a "game-changing partnership" between a university and a city-owned utility that is unlike any other in the country.
"This is a bold step," said Castro. "Ratepayers will get a more efficient utility, the city will get the economic development value of robust research and development in San Antonio, and the university will spiral ever more quickly to Tier One status."
CPS Energy officials hailed the agreement as a strategic move that will help the utility invest ratepayer money wisely at a time when utilities across the country are working to implement sustainable technologies.
Last year, with approval from the San Antonio City Council to change fuel adjustment charges, the utility allocated $859 million through 2020 to the Save for Tomorrow Energy Plan (STEP). STEP aims to reduce energy use by 771 megawatts by 2020 through customer rebates and incentives, including $156 million to weatherize up to 45,000 homes in Greater San Antonio.
"The strength of the agreement with UTSA comes from the partners working together to set the agenda," noted CPS Energy Board Chairman Charles Foster. "CPS Energy gets localized research, and UTSA gets a real-world laboratory by partnering with the community-owned utility. We will need this kind of information as we change with the energy industry. If we can help to develop it in our own community, based on our customers and our weather, then the information better serves our customers."
"This is a great opportunity for UTSA to do work on a global scale that benefits our local community," added CPS Energy Acting General Manager Jelynne LeBlanc Burley. "As we make the transformation from a traditional utility to one that is focused on providing competitively priced power in a sustainable way, we will look to the institute to help us develop a secure smart grid and to understand how our customers will interact with that new technology."
Les Shephard, an internationally renowned expert on energy policy who joined UTSA earlier this year after a long career at Sandia National Laboratories, will head the institute, formerly known as the Institute for Conventional, Alternative and Renewable Energy.
"We welcome this partnership with CPS Energy as it will not only make San Antonio one of the nation's leaders in sustainable energy innovation, but also provide a significant boost to UTSA in its steady growth toward a research intensive university of Tier One status," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo.
Shephard said all the pieces are in place for a nationally recognized institute in San Antonio. The city has two outstanding utilities -- the San Antonio Water System, which has a long track record in the area of conservation, and CPS Energy, whose energy-efficiency efforts are newer but just as exciting.
Also, the area has a strong foundation of academic and research entities with robust green programs including the Southwest Research Institute as well as the Mission Verde Center, a city partnership that includes the Alamo Colleges and Texas A&M University's Texas Engineering Experiment Station.
"In the last two years UTSA has been aggressively hiring experts in the area of green energy research and this new agreement will accelerate the acquisition of top quality talent to San Antonio," said Mauli Agrawal, dean of the UTSA College of Engineering, who was instrumental in persuading Shephard to join UTSA.
Shephard added that the wealth of energy resources present in Texas makes San Antonio an ideal place for energy-related research and development and attractive to experts from around the nation.
The agreement calls for CPS Energy to invest up to $50 million over 10 years in the institute. The first two years' investment will be $3.5 million from funds currently allocated to research and development. Future funding will be developed by the scope of the projects defined by the partnership and subject to annual approval by the CPS Energy Board of Trustees.
About CPS Energy
CPS Energy is the nation's largest municipally owned natural gas and electric utility providing service to approximately 707,000 electric customers and 322,000 natural gas customers in and around San Antonio. The utility ranks among the nation's lowest-cost energy providers while ranking No. 1 in wind-energy capacity among municipally owned utilities and No. 1 in Texas in the amount of solar-generated electricity under contract.

|The appointment of Tom Moyane as SARS Commissioner welcomed by the tax industry
Share |
27 September 2014
Tuesday 23 September, Mr Tom Moyane was appointed as the new SARS Commissioner in an announcement made today by H.E. President, Mr Jacob Zuma.
Mr Tom Moyane brings a wealth of more than 30 years' experience to this important office, by having worked as a senior executive in various government and private sector entities. In his role as a development economist, Mr Moyane served as an advisor on turnaround strategies at the State Information and Technology Agency recently.
The South African Institute of Tax Professionals (SAIT) were quick to add their support for Mr Moyane's appointment to this important office." Stiaan Klue, Chief Executive of SAIT adds, "SARS is a vital cornerstone of South Africa's fiscal order and security, and Mr Moyane's vast experience at the highest levels of Government and Public Administration stand him in good stead in ensuring SARS continue to serve the best interests of the South African economy."
Klue believes that a debt of gratitude is owed to Mr Ivan Pillay who has been at the helm of SARS in the interim as Acting SARS Commissioner. "Mr Ivan Pillay needs to be commended for the stability and professional ism he instilled within SARS during his tenure as Acting Commissioner.
As the largest of the Tax Professional bodies, SAIT plays a leading role in developing sound tax policy and shaping fiscal legislation through participation in, and dialogue with, Parliament. Klue remarks, "The Commissioner holds the office for an agreed term not exceeding five years but which is renewable. Mr Moyane's appointment lends certainty to the effective line of communication SAIT has established with SARS in their goal to develop world class, professional practices and people."

There are 16 different brain kinds, each one with different faults as well as unique skills.

This program is the utmost "time-saver" of the century.
This program can possibly eliminate much of the complication as well as aggravation that has parent.

Lastly, you could find out that you really are, what types of individuals you agree the best, and also placed an end to the search for self-understanding. Brain Keying by Jonathan Niednagal will certainly assist you to conserve time and proceed with the life you were suggested to live.
It's finally time to obtain our brain back. This means a trip to the Forbidden Zone and also a grand battle with Dr. Mobius' army. You might wish to finish up some service with the Brain trust though, which will certainly permit a couple of tranquil alternatives for the closing of Old World Blues
When you have all 3 pieces of technology, you could make the large push right into Dr. Mobius' lab.
This is the quest for Dr. Borous. When you talk with him, you can use this link discuss his study read full article and potentially express rage for his creation of nightstalkers as well as cazadors. The essential conversation is about Gabe though. If you have actually been to X-8 and went to the monitoring deck, he should have a memory of transforming Gabe right into a large cyberdog.
You should have the ability to speak about Gabe to Borous, and also grab the official mission.
If you speak with Dr. 8, you will certainly just get static for a number of questions. After you ask a few points though, you'll obtain the opportunity for an ability check. With 75 factors in Scientific research, or 7 points in Assumption, you can identify that he's talking in duplicating lines of code.
You could after that make use of the same 75 factors in Science to threaten to hack him. Evil personalities could then force his conformity and make him hand over some ammunition, while great personalities can comfort him and say that they 'd never ever do it.
After calming him a little bit, you must finish the pursuit.
This is a relatively very easy one. You simply have to speak with Dr. Dala and also question her about her unusual passion in the human body. Hereafter factor, you have a couple of options. Those with Woman Killer or Cherchez La Femme could just use that to get Dala to open. There's additionally an option for those with a good amount in Speech, or evidently, you should have the ability to show her a real teddy bear to stir up some sensations in her. You could quickly get among these from her room in the Think Tank (just rise a level as well as search in the sealed rooms) or from her old house in Higgs Village.
Despite exactly how you obtain her to be straightforward with you regarding her odd destination to your bio-rhythms, you could then agree to allow her 'check out" you. After an awkward minute, you'll obtain some energy cells and also her warm many thanks
Once you have your allies in the Brain trust, you could go out to locate Dr. Mobius.
It's a long go through a hazardous valley. You'll most likely find a variety of lobotomites as well as some Y-17 harness fits. I think that you fit combating these enemies by now though. The real trick will certainly be just what takes place when you actually reach the door to the Forbidden Area.
There is an army of roboscorpions waiting at the door. When you approach the door for the X-42 see this page battle area, a great deal of scorpions will spawn in.
I strongly recommend that you get to the edge of the field of battle swiftly. Fire as you move. You must have the ability to use a proton axe or the antenna to keep them at bay. One swipe will disable them momentarily, that makes the battle much more convenient.
If you maintain dropping back, you must be able to simply shake off the laser damages and also thin them out. With a few stimpaks, you'll be great.
The last action, if you cannot hack a Very Hard computer system, is to order a mint condition LAER off of the table in the bunker in the back appropriate. Keep in mind that you ought to be able to leap over the rails to save yourself some pain.
Once it's dead, see to it that you search the remains. There's a last setting for the sonic emitter, 'roboscorpion," inside it. When that's done, get onto the raised footway and undergo the door to reach Dr. Mobius' lair.
Once you obtain your mind, you'll should face Dr. Klein.
Travel back to the Brain trust, as well as take into consideration swapping your organs back into place at the Auto-Doc.
As the screen advises, speaking with the Think Tank will certainly force an ending. Ensure that you have actually done whatever that you want to do, although you could return and do a lot of the pursuits after the finishing. You currently have a few alternatives to deal with them.
If you did all their quests, you could just inform Dr. Klein to 'confer with his associates", who will refuse to battle you. You could then make him give up and consent to remain in the Big Empty with no skill checks.

Comments about Zephyr 30" Under Cabinet Stainless Range Wall Hood:
Overall a good range hood. BUT it's very very hard to install. What makes it worse is the instructions to take out the light panels are totally WRONG! Would it kill them to provide a template? And the pictures are so dark.

text: Hi, I have some queries regarding a DUI I received in January 2016. I had a BAC of 0.086 and this was my first ever offence. I was not required to go to court and as far as I can tell, I haven't been given a conviction (although I am not sure of this). I live in Victoria so my case is managed by VicRoads. I've recently been looking for work and jobs that I'm interviewing for will likely require background checks and security clearance and I'm curious to know if this offence will show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I would like to disclose this information to potential employers before it comes up on a background check. Thanks.

Established in spring of 2015, their approach in the studio is different then that of the usual collaboration. They meticulously work with each other on every section of the track as if they were working in the studio together. This adds a whole new level of perfection within their collaborative effort. All this while working states apart. The proof that they were on to something special came quickly as their first release hit #15 in the single charts, and was featured on Beatport's Hip Hop page. Also, they signed tunes to the world's largest dance competition WORLD OF DANCE, and KJ Sawka's Impossible Records. As their releases continue to hit the top of the charts in Hip Hop, Dubstep, and Glitch Hop, their "Enemy EP" went #1 on the first day. These veteran bass monsters have set themselves up to take over 2017 by storm. They have taken their production and DJ skills to the live stage with no boundaries.

TWO names very familiar to British fans head the betting to be top tournament goalscorer at the European Championship, which starts in Portugal on Saturday.
Thierry Henry, the brilliant France forward, is a best-priced 6-1 with Bet 365 and Paddy Power to take the honours, while Ruud van Nistelrooy, of Holland, is 9-1 with Blue Square and Ladbrokes.
Henry was the top goalscorer in the Premiership this season, but statistics suggest that he is not even the most potent striker in the French side. Henry has 25 goals from 58 matches for his country but David Trezeguet has been even

The live of athiests are of that of a group of microbial insects,they never see the bigger picture. All i will say is that if you believe that your existance is due to pure randomenness and that there is no real purpose of your existance then realy u have no right to claim any morality just like the insects and bacteria wich we kill every day with out even realising. you have no right to claim any justice or recognition, why ? because your life is worthless,your existance is on par with not even plants because even they were creations of GOD, but rather perhaps ..lets see,the shape of animal manure..think we would agree there is abit of randomness and chance there. !. Is your life on par with animal excrement ? is that what your saying !! /FP

All I will say is that if you believe that your existence is due to a deity and that there is an objective, external purpose of your existence then really have no right to claim any stance on morality, because for all intents and purposes it isn't even yours and, as clearly seen from many religious texts, is induced with fear. You have no right to claim any justice or recognition, why? Because your life has no subjective goal or purpose, your existence is on par with that of plants because we intentionally grow them for food consumption, just as God grows humans on his little Earth-farm for the lulz. Lets see, the shape of animal manure ... I think we would agree there is a bit of randomness and chance there! Is your life on par with animal excrement? Is that what your saying!! /FP

i dont give a fuck when i'm thinking of being dead one day.
and i enjoy my life because i dont want to waste a single second ;P
2. More of a lack of religion
3. Don't really understand what that means
4. Same with people with different beliefs
5. And that's why "God" was added to the pledge, abortions are illegal in a lot of places, mandatory school prayers, Inquisition, Constantinople, women forced to wear burkas in public, women NOT ALLOWED to wears burkas, etc. Atheists don't have a "doctrine" and not all of them have the same opinions
6. 9/11
7. Theists and a lot of other people do that, not always because of religion
8. A LOOT of people got pissed off when Obama "omitted" "under god" in the pledge
9. how -_-?
10. Inquisition...Jeremy Hall...Reconquista (That part where Muslims got kicked out of Spain)
11. how -_-?
12. I'm sure there's a lot of ignorance and close-mindedness with theists (evolution)
13. Bats are birds, world is flat, world can have huge floods. This site shows nice stuff that Christians are supposed to believe Skeptic's Annotated Bible / Quran / Book of Mormon. It also shows lovely stuff from the Qur'an and Book of Mormon at the top
14. Despite the evidence, a lot of theists here reject evolution because it interferes with their beliefs and call it a "myth" or "just a theory"
15. What type of conclusion is supposed to happen?

Atheism used to be just about not believing. Steve Perry would sing, Dont stop believin, atheists would answer, Screw you, big nose, and that was the extent of the rebellion.
Sorry, Mr. or Mrs. Religious Person. Im busy baking muffins and Im a non-believer. Good day.
That was it.
These days its gotta be a whole dog and pony show. New age, atheist chic smart asses have turned simple non-belief and who-gives-a-shit lack of faith into its own stupid religion. Authors such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are the L. Ron Hubbards of this new cult. And, yes, it is a cult like any religion because now atheists, in lieu of minding their own vapid beeswax, are holding conventions and are even trying to reverse their own baptisms.
Yes, the Dawkinians are holding debaptisms, these hilarious, Andy Kaufmanesque geniuses.
Ceremonies in at least states four states (mainly at douchey liberal colleges) have washed that holy water right out of these adorable little creatures hair via, of all things, a hair dryer. Yes, a hair dryer, presumably one like what Princess Vespa carted around in Spaceballs, will undo all the hurt and pain that that nasty Christening brought you way back when. And the dryers, according to the article, are marked reason, because nothing says reason like having some robed imbecile unbaptize you with a home appliance when any decent clergyman would stick that thing in this broads twat sideways.
At these debaptisms, waitresses also serve de-sacraments, consisting of crackers and peanut butter, because an atheists gotta eat. This reporter is quite saddened to think how many times hes de-sacramented himself over the years. Good thing only Ritz and Skippy truly have the power to take away the light of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Will a Hello Kitty hair dryer give these sardonic fuck sticks back the love their fathers never gave them? Only God oops I guess no one knows. Would a giant fan completely erase these fuckers memories of everything from that first confession to when they shit their pants in the third grade?
Some say that every one of these assholes should take the beating that Jesus took, and I personally would like to give it to them with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. Thatll make you forget the moment your crying parents held so dear, you sniveling little babies. Just because Daddy didnt buy you the cell phone you prayed for or because a priest patted you on the head in a somewhat suggestive manner doesnt mean you should mock religion until you need Him again.
Said Jennifer Gray in this article (and believe me, Ill never watch Dirty Dancing again, you bitch), these ceremonies are a chance to laugh at the silly things I used to believe as a child. It helped me admit that it was OK to think the way I think and to not have any religious beliefs.
Little Jennifers summer is booked solid with ceremonies exorcising Santa Claus with a curling iron, the Easter Bunny with a coffee maker, and the time Uncle Paul buried his manhood in her with a shovel.
These dopes, like Gary Mueller, are even petitioning churches to remove their names from baptismal records because they were baptized without consent. Its rape by baptism! Why not get de-circumcised too, you fruit?
Many atheists, like Pitzer Colleges Phil Zuckerman, are saying, Were here. Were secular. Deal with it, and tracing the rise of smug atheism to George W. Bushs presidency.
This leads me to two questions. One, can we ban marriage between atheists? That I can get behind. And two, does this mean that at the end of Barack Obamas presidency slavery might make a comeback?
You call it a stretch. I call it Punch an Atheist Day.
I usually get called some nasty things when people find out I'm a Nihilist because they don't understand it, people think Nihilists believe everyone should die for some reason and that's not it at all /fp
Life isn't so much without meaning, as you must create your own meaning to life. Not everyone will understand the same meaning as everyone else, because there is no one meaning to life. If there was one meaning to life, that would be death, but that's not it because deaths meaning is to stop, where life's meaning is to push on and, well, live.

With Percival our beloved Pothole Pig being gone for so long and no word of his whereabouts, we at the Tacoma Weekly have made the very difficult decision to start looking for his replacement. There are still potholes in the city that need attention, and finding an advocate for getting them fixed is crucial.
We posted an advertisement on Craigslist and received six resumes from interested candidates. Who do you think would be the best replacement for our beloved pig (least until/if he returns)?
Blighty the Blight-Seeking Beaver just moved to the area and last worked at a sandwich shop in Chicago.
Carter the Crater Gator hails from Kent and wrote a blog about transportation issues.
Charles the Chuckhole Chicken was most recently a coffee stand operator.
Rosco the Rut-Running Rooster ran a marijuana shop in Lacey, and is writing a mystery novel in his spare time.
Peter the Pit Python works in the fulfillment department at Amazon.
Lastly, there's Marilyn Strickland, a two-term mayor of Tacoma and staunch civic activist who can't seek reelection in November and will be in need of a job.

Around 12,000 people returned home to Kaohsiung, Taiwan's second city, after gas explosions killed 26 people and injured 267 others.
Clean-up work is under way in the 1 square mile area, where investigators are turning to the task of determining the cause of the blasts, the city's worst such disaster in 16 years.
Most of the four ruptured street sections in the densely populated district of Kaohsiung had been declared safe from further explosions, a city spokesman said. A fire that burned through the night had also been put out.
Five explosions ripped through four streets starting at around midnight on Thursday, catapulting cars into the air and blasting cement rubble at passers-by, many of whom were out late because of a nearby night market.
That came about three hours after a gas leak had been reported on Kaixuan Road, but emergency services had been unable to locate the source.
Four firefighters were among the victims and two were missing, while at least six fire trucks were flung into the rubble. The blasts sent flames shooting into the sky and hurled concrete through the air, leaving broad, trenches down the middle of roads.
Many of the injured are still receiving medical treatment. The disaster was Taiwan's second in as many weeks following the crash of a TransAsia Airways prop jet on the island of Penghu on July 23 that killed 48 people and injured 10.

Tina Turner sang about it in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985.
I didn't see the movie, but I do remember the song, We Don't Need Another Hero. It was on the radio a lot back then.
Why then, do we look for heroes?
How did we elevate Lance Armstrong to hero status—to the point where, as he said during an interview with Oprah on January 17th, "this (interview) will live forever."
(In case you haven't seen it, it was a lengthy interview where Lance publicly admitted for the first time that yes, he did use performance-enhancing drugs for all of his Tour de France wins. Yes, he did it. Yes, he lied about it…even under oath.)
Like many others around the world, I was drawn into Lance Armstrong's powerful hero orbit. Being a fan of cycling, I watched in awe as he came back from cancer and not only competed in, but won the Tour de France. The first year was incredible, then he won it six more times.
Were there questions? Certainly…what he accomplished was unheard of. Yet he always passed when tested for performance-enhancing drugs.
I read Lance's book, It's Not About the Bike, which only served to further my admiration for this man who defied the odds and helped so many cancer patients along the way.
However, as we all witnessed, even heroes can fall.
If dishonesty did not exist, our prison system would not be necessary, let alone filled to capacity.
Lance Armstrong's colossal fall from grace was one of the biggest stories near the end of 2012. I predict that his Oprah interview will be one of the biggest sound bites of the year, perhaps longer. I am not, however, here to judge Lance Armstrong or to determine his guilt or innocence.
Once a hero, not always a hero.
Lance Armstrong had it all—yet his success was not earned. It came as a result of one of the largest doping scandals in sporting history.
He lied. He cheated. He's not a hero after all.
The Oxford dictionary defines a hero as:
A person distinguished by courage, noble deeds, outstanding achievements, etc.
Sounds simple enough. But…what does it mean to you and me?
Maybe the world's definition of hero has become something else entirely. Maybe it is time for that definition to change.
We can all be people who are distinguished by courage, noble deeds and outstanding achievement. The world's definition of hero, as Lance Armstrong so unceremoniously demonstrated, can come and go overnight.
The real definition of hero is beautiful and honest and real, and it's the one that matters.
That's the kind of hero we need.

nino's: "elegant italian cuisine on the upper east side" Nino's Restaurant Tip by nicolaitan
Nino's Restaurant, New York City: 1 reviews and 0 photos
under the same ownership as Osso Bucco and Nino's Positano, this upscale restaurant has a sophisticated decor with murals on the walls and nighty music. The wide ranging menu has appetizers from $10 up and entrees between $22-35. The service is competent and unintrusive. Sharing of entrees is not frowned upon, and by sharing the total cost for a couple can remain under $100 if you are careful with drinks. Speaking of which, the martinis are close to superb as they might well be at $13-15. We have never jhad a bad meal here. Entree portions are large and easily shared. This is a great place for a quiet romantic dinner
Favorite Dish: grilled dishes - veal chops, tuna with onions. The signature dish is a lobster fra diavolo - a spectacular plate of lobster, pasta, and sauce - far exceeds the price range above but perfect for splitting. We recently shared a large filet mignon done to perfection. (We do not share martinis.)

I've always thought there were more senses beyond the obvious physical ones – perhaps they're synergistic, perhaps otherwise. I suppose to call it pure aesthetics would be not really accurate, either – but the upshot is of course a result that is either pleasing or not. In the course of many discussions with a wide cross section of people on the topic, it seems that the 'sense of balance' is either there, or it isn't. It doesn't necessarily mean that those with a heightened sense of balance can consistently create strong images – arguably, in some ways it's the opposite – but there's definitely at least recognition of what works and what doesn't. Two immediate thoughts follow: why? And more importantly, how can we use this to make a better image?
Balance beyond photography
Horological-photoessay: One of your own
Today's subject is a somewhat unusual one, and an esoteric one even for the horological enthusiasts in the audience. It's not often that a creative sees the whole product gestation process through form design to photography to consumption; either it happens at the very small and private scale, or you work for Apple (or the like) in in a senior capacity. It takes a certain environment for that to happen. For me, this is probably the fifth or sixth time; several watches for various companies, and of course the MTxFF daybag. This design is a one-off for myself, made by a little company in Switzerland called Ochs und Junior that specialises in such customisations. I wanted something unusual, wearable on a daily basis, and visually interesting: that would have a bit of a chameleon personality depending on light (both direction and quantity). I think this is pretty clear in the images. This is an odd series from a purely photographic standpoint, too: though every set of images I post is subject to some degree of self-curation, here it really doesn't matter what anybody else thinks of object or images: neither are really for mass consumption 🙂 MT
I wrote the full story behind this watch here, for Quill and Pad, in much greater detail (and probably more than most readers would want to know). Images were shot with a D810, 85 PCE and speedlights, and processed with Photoshop/LR Workflow III. I cover the basics of watch photography in a series of three articles, starting here.
Sold! – Hasselblad CFV-50c
I'm helping a client move his Hasselblad CFV-50c, mint in box with warranty til Dec 2017, two batteries and charger and all box contents (including dedicated focusing screen). The back is the 50MP CMOS version with live view. It is physically with me at the moment, I have tested it fully on my camera, and cosmetically it really is indistinguishable from new. Works with all V series cameras, activation count under 2,000, and remains under warranty til the end of 2017. Photos are of the actual item. Alas, the film components of the system aren't for sale (I asked). I still believe this back represents the most versatile medium format solution (self-powered, high ISO capable, V series, tech cameras, Flexbody compatible etc.) – as well as the lowest overall cost of MF system entry given the price of V series bodies and lenses. It is also state of the art in image quality, second only to the 100MP sensors. My review of the back (same internals as the H5D) is here, and guide to the V system here. Reason for sale: he blames the X1D system which just arrived on me… New pricing is $12k at B&H, second hand anywhere between $7,500 and $9,500 on the forums. The backs are in somewhat limited supply at the moment as all available sensors are going into X1Ds. Asking $8,000 wire transfer price, including shipping via DHL, add 2% for paypal, and insurance is extra (it depends on location). Full disclosure: I will be acting as proxy for the sale and will receive a small commission in return. Please send me an email if you're interested. Thanks! MT
Sold – thanks everybody!
Convergence, equivalence and the future of sensors
Image credit: Cnet
I'm sure you've all seen this Sony sensor size comparison chart at various fairs, on various sites, or in the simulated display (in which no sensors were harmed in the making of) at their various retail outlets. The implication, of course, is that bigger is better; look how much bigger a sensor you can get from us! This is of course true: all other things being equal, the more light you can collect, the more information is recorded, and the better the image you'll be able to output for a given field of view. However, I'm going to make a few predictions today about the way future digital sensor development is going to go – and with it, the development of the camera itself. Revisit this page in about five years; in the meantime, go back to making images after reading…
Photoessay: Facade
I tend to think of these structures and images as representing the blunt end of modern architecture – they're the somewhat generic barriers thrown up to segregate a space from the outside world in a somewhat arbitrary and identity-less manner. The spaces promise all sorts of things but in reality must be reusable and take on the inscrutable identity of their many corporate inhabitants. The whole concept of 'identity' is somewhat nebulous in any case: how do you translate the personality of a collective of individuals who are mostly there solely because the job pays, not because they have any great vision for the company? Answer: you don't. And whilst architects continue to play with abstract geometries, geometric forms and more glass, every building seems to get just that bit more anonymous. I can't think of any better way to show this than the effective blending of one building into the next…MT
This series was shot with a mix of cameras (mostly a Hasselblad H5) and processed with Photoshop and Lightroom Workflow III.
Short term pain, long term gain
Exotic beasts. Yes, the 100MP cameras have been shipping for some time now; yes, that one is mine – the door gifts at HQ are amazing! – and yes, I'll be posting a report once I've had a chance to live with and use it for a while.
I'm writing this on the way home from a very intense tour of Europe – a visit to see my brother, review and refine design for the second generation of bags (yes, there will be a smaller one!) visit some clients, meet some alumni and check in on the status of a couple of other projects. Since I was broadly in the right area – and because it's a bit of a trek otherwise – I had to make a pilgrimage to Hasselblad HQ.
It turns out I arrived at precisely the peak of activity. Yes, there's been another announcement; yes, there are necessary changes, and yes, it appears that the DJI deal was true – the silence being deafening. Many things were taking place during my visit that were restricted to high level management. In any case, I was much more interested in the historical prototype lens cabinet.
Photoessay: Through the looking glass
I think of this set as Idea of Man, with inspiration by Saul Leiter. The whole thing comes together to be a little bit surreal, but more intense than you'd expect with full-fat color left in. I've deliberately used longer perspectives in most of these images to intensify that feeling of stacking, and having the world vying for your attention. To my eyes, it has the same level of distraction from your intended focus as a walk through a really cosmopolitan city would do in real life; especially one that's somewhat new and unfamiliar to you. In such situations, the familiar catches your eye, as does the very unfamiliar; there's the constant tug of war between trying to figure out and experience the new, and putting it in context with that which you already know. And before you've managed to place things in your own mind, something else (usually unexpected) cuts through the stage and demands your eye. MT
This series was shot with a Hasselblad H5D-50C and H6D-50C, various lenses and post processed with Photoshop and Lightroom Workflow III.
On the curation of a book
Though a book of photographs is something that I've been asked for time and again – I've honestly felt that it doesn't really make a lot of sense to do, both because ultimately the audience is quite limited, and because the economics are a bit of a disaster if you care the slightest about quality. Speaking to many possible publishers, printers, and photographers who've done it (including those considered to be highly successful in this game, such as Nick Brandt) – it's clear to me that any sort of photographic-only book is only worth doing if somebody with deep pockets is funding it for you. For example, Brandt doesn't break even on any of his books – because his required standards for printing are so high; the problem is once you've seen what's possible, it's very difficult to compromise. Yet…I've not only decided to do one, but my editor and I are well into the process of putting it together already. Why? Let me attempt to rationalise – and share some of the frustrations…
Photoessay: Painted shadows, part I
We often talk about the painterly qualities of an image, but without the right quality of light, and to some extent, subject matter – it isn't possible to create the same controlled contrast and muted tones that the style relies on. Fortunately, Prague in autumn has both low angle light (i.e. not that intense) but clear skied (directional, not diffused) days in abundance – and old, pastel-painted buildings. The buildings themselves appear almost graphic and illustrated a lot of the time: they're either newly restored or rehabbed or well maintained, and so lack the sort of surface defects that often mar the graphic illusion I sought. My biggest problem was actually too much dynamic range… MT

Cropping, sufficiency, resolution: take three (or, thoughts after shooting with the H6D-100c)
A little reframing – not as chaotic as I'd have expected…
I've said a lot about cropping in the past, when I think it's justified, and even a little bit about the proto-wimmelbild interpretation of recursion in composition. Bottom line: good/acceptable cropping is when the composition and restriction of edges is done deliberately and premeditatively before capture; you know you're going to need to leave some stuff on the cutting floor because perhaps your finder edges aren't precise or 100%, because you want a non-native aspect ratio, or because you didn't bring a longer lens but composed for a tighter scene in the middle of the frame. Bad cropping is when you're hunting for a composition after capture – it's not deliberate at the time of initial composition and is basically trying your luck. The key differentiator here is one of intent.

Fast track API manufacturing from shake flask to production scale using a 1000-L single-use facility

De Witt H.,Cellca GmbH |

Chemie-Ingenieur-Technik | Year: 2013
A systematic and integrated use of single-use technologies was combined with a robust monoclonal antibody platform, which led to a substantial reduction of manufacturing costs, reduced timelines and increased flexibility in clinical manufacturing. A direct scale-up of a high titer monoclonal antibody-expressing CHO DG44-based cell culture platform was performed from shake flasks to a 1000 L production scale in a completely single-use manufacturing facility. The scale-up was done on the basis of calculating the specific volumetric power input which allowed a direct transfer from small culture volumes to the production scale. The timelines for process development were reduced to 3 months from the Research Cell Bank to the drug substance with highly optimized cells and appropriate culture conditions.

Recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) - A rapidly-expanding toolbox for targeted genomic modifications

Gene | Year: 2013
Starting in 1991, the advance of Tyr-recombinases Flp and Cre enabled superior strategies for the predictable insertion of transgenes into compatible target sites of mammalian cells. Early approaches suffered from the reversibility of integration routes and the fact that co-introduction of prokaryotic vector parts triggered uncontrolled heterochromatization. Shortcomings of this kind were overcome when Flp-Recombinase Mediated Cassette Exchange entered the field in 1994. RMCE enables enhanced tag-and-exchange strategies by precisely replacing a genomic target cassette by a compatible donor construct. After "gene swapping" the donor cassette is safely locked in, but can nevertheless be re-mobilized in case other compatible donor cassettes are provided ("serial RMCE"). These features considerably expand the options for systematic, stepwise genome modifications. The first decade was dominated by the systematic generation of cell lines for biotechnological purposes. Based on the reproducible expression capacity of the resulting strains, a comprehensive toolbox emerged to serve a multitude of purposes, which constitute the first part of this review. The concept per se did not, however, provide access to high-producer strains able to outcompete industrial multiple-copy cell lines. This fact gave rise to systematic improvements, among these certain accumulative site-specific integration pathways. The exceptional value of RMCE emerged after its entry into the stem cell field, where it started to contribute to the generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS-) cells and their subsequent differentiation yielding a variety of cell types for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This topic firmly relies on the strategies developed in the first decade and can be seen as the major ambition of the present article. In this context an unanticipated, potent property of serial Flp-RMCE setups concerns the potential to re-open loci that have served to establish the iPS status before the site underwent the obligatory silencing process. Other relevant options relate to the introduction of composite Flp-recognition target sites ("heterospecific FRT-doublets"), into the LTRs of lentiviral vectors. These "twin sites" enhance the safety of iPS re-programming and -differentiation as they enable the subsequent quantitative excision of a transgene, leaving behind a single "FRT-twin". Such a strategy combines the established expression potential of the common retro- and lentiviral systems with options to terminate the process at will. The remaining genomic tag serves to identify and characterize the insertion site with the goal to identify genomic "safe harbors" (GOIs) for re-use. This is enabled by the capacity of ". FRT-twins" to accommodate any incoming RMCE-donor cassette with a compatible design. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. Source
Development of a novel er stress based selection system for the isolation of highly productive clones
Kober L.,Cellca GmbH |
Zehe C.,Cellca GmbH |
Bode J.,Hannover Medical School
Biotechnology and Bioengineering | Year: 2012
Most biotherapeutic drugs are recombinant monoclonal antibodies which are mostly produced in monoclonal cell lines derived from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Various clones expressing a monoclonal recombinant antibody were analyzed and a correlation of the antibody concentration and the relative mRNA level of calreticulin (CALR), glucose-regulated protein 78 and 94kDa (GRP78, GRP94) and spliced X-box binding protein 1 (XPB1) was observed. By means of these results we were motivated to establish a novel selection system based on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which allows the rapid identification and isolation of high-expressing clones out of a pool mainly consisting of low- and medium-producing cells. Several ER stress responsive elements were tested with the aid of a recombinase mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) procedure. Very surprisingly, only GRP78 reporter constructs were strongly stimulated upon antibody expression. Furthermore we found that GRP78 reporter constructs are very suitable to reflect the level of antibody expression (IgG) in recombinant CHO cells. Based on these results, it is concluded, that the novel ER stress based selection system developed during this study is suitable to identify and isolate clones with a high level of antibody expression. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recombinant biotherapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies are mostly produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and pharmaceutical companies are interested in an appropriate platform technology for the development of large-scale production processes. A major aim of our study was therefore to improve the secretion efficiency of a recombinant biotherapeutic antibody by optimizing signal peptides. Reporter molecules such as gaussia and vargula luciferase or secreted alkaline phosphatase are frequently used to this end. In striking contrast, we used a biotherapeutic antibody that was fused to 16 different signal peptides during our study. In this way, the secretion efficiency of the recombinant antibody has been analyzed by transient expression experiments in CHO cell lines. Compared to the control signal peptide, it was not possible to achieve higher efficiencies with signal peptides derived from a variety of species or even natural immunoglobulin G signal peptides. The best results were obtained with natural signal peptides derived from human albumin and human azurocidin. These results were confirmed by fed-batch experiments with stably transfected cell pools, in which cell-specific productivities up to 90pgcell-1day-1 and product concentrations up to 4gL-1 could be determined using the albumin signal peptide. Finally, the applicability of the identified signal peptides for both different antibodies and non-antibody products was demonstrated by transient expression experiments. In conclusion, it was found that signal peptides derived from human albumin and human azurocidin are most appropriate to generate cell lines with clearly improved production rates suitable for commercial purposes in a product-independent manner. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Biological performance of two different 1000 L single-use bioreactors applying a simple transfer approach

Process transfer is associated with a considerable risk potential. The most critical equipment aspects in upstream operations are the type and scale of bioreactors. Single-use systems have the advantage of a relatively fixed bioreactor design where only few adaptations can be made, e.g. in stirrer geometry or type of submerse aeration. Here, we describe the transfer of a Chinese hamster ovary fed-batch process in the 1000 L scale from a XDR™ to a Thermo Scientific Hyclone Single-Use Bioreactor (S.U.B.) used for GMP compliant manufacturing of biologics. The transfer method, which was based on a preceding intensive characterization of both bioreactors, aimed either to keep the oxygen mass transfer or the power input constant. The transfer strategies were evaluated theoretically based on derived empirical correlations for the mass transfer coefficients, kLaO2 and kLaCO2. An operation boundary of 10-31 W m-3 for the S.U.B. bioreactor was defined, which is an approximately 35 % higher power input compared to that in the XDR™. The transfer strategy succeeded in maintaining essential biological parameters such as cell concentration (±5%), viability (±2%), and product formation (±3%) very similar. This is, to the authors' knowledge, the first time that distinct process performance comparison in different 1000 L SUBs is published. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. Source
