In this paper a small-scale energy system called emergency container is presented. This container has lots of applications and can be designed as stationary solution in remote areas such as rural electrification and a mobile solution for disaster situation, military purposes and exploration teams. In this study the container is a hybrid PV/wind/engine energy system that is designed to provide electricity and drinkable water for 1000 person in disaster situations. A transient model implemented in Transient Simulation System (TRNSYS) program is developed and performance of the system during one-year operation for two locations (Nairobi in Kenya and Nyala in Sudan) with relatively high solar insolation is analyzed. The result of the model is significantly important in order to choose the right size of the different components. Due to the fluctuations of solar and wind energy as well as the importance of the battery life cycle, there is a need to have a smart power management and an appropriate fast response control system. In order to achieve it and to fulfill the energy demand as much as possible through renewable energies, a dispatch strategy is introduced and a control algorithm is applied to the model. This control algorithm has increased system reliability and power availability. The transient simulation shows that the share of power generation by solar energy is 63% and 80% and the share of wind power is 27% and 12% in Nairobi and Nyala respectively. It means that most of the energy demand (around 90%) can be covered by renewable energy. This results in significant mitigation of environmental issues compared to using only diesel engine that is a common solution in disaster situations. © 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Source
Application of process ontology to improve the funding allocation process at the European Institute of Innovation and Technology

This studio explains the application through the application of the ProKEx architecture is used to improve the process of allocation of funding at the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The mission of the EIT is to grow and capitalize on the innovation capacity and capability of actors from higher education, research, business and entrepreneurship from the EU and beyond through the creation of highly integrated Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). This case offers the scenario of a complex application where a fragmented process with several actors is dealing with the different domains of knowledge of each KIC. Starting from the Business Process Model, applying text-mining techniques we extract the ontology elements from the activity description and converted into an Ontology of the process domain. By the critical analysis of the information contained in the model, we gain the relevant information to improve the current approach. © 2014 Springer International Publishing. Source

Minecraft creator Mojang has quietly started offering a 'standalone' version of Java with its loader as part of a new approach that should limit the effects of the software's infamous insecurity on tens of millions of desktop gamers. Until now, running Minecraft has meant having Java installed at a system level, which given its historically flaw-ridden stats presents a security risk for a computer even when Minecraft is not being used. Given that an unknown number of users only install Java to play the famous game, integrating that into the launcher keeps this exposure to a minimum and in theory overcomes the issue of users who don't bother to update Java to stay ahead of software flaws. The company appears to have been testing this feature in recent months without making much fuss but has now included the technology for the Windows PC Edition of Minecraft (OS X support is promised by year end) for new downloads of the launcher. As we understand it, users running the current version will need to update their software and then make an adjustment in the Minecraft Profile to point at the new javaw.exe executable. Full instructions on how to do this have helpfully been posted on the How-To Geek website. According to HTG, not only would users inadvertently running 32-bit see a significant increase in performance, even an up-to-date 64-bit Java installation might see a boost in FPS. The former is likely although the latter is hard to understand. Essentially, it's the same Java but just called by the application rather than through Windows. "A really, really big percentage of our players use 32-bit java on 64-bit machines, and they don't even know. 64-bit java runs significantly better in a lot of scenarios for Minecraft, so it's just a waste that they do this," said an unnamed Minecraft developer on Reddit some weeks ago. Exactly how long the new Java-free install has been available is not clear but it appears to data back to the middle of January. The Minecraft website has a single line noting that Windows users no longer needed to install Java to run the software. A few points. De-installing Java in favour of Minecraft's install won't suit anyone who needs Java for something other than Minecraft. Users should also check that the version in use by the game is kept up-to-date because in theory there could be some delay between Oracle issuing patched versions and Mojang making them available. Numerous analyses have identified Java as the top source of both unpatched known flaws and serious zero-days and yet the world keeps turning and little seems to change. Some users have de-installed Java completely but of course that stops super-game Minecraft from working. Many just ignore the issue, even running completely out-of-date versions. For background, Danish security firm noticed a staggering 145 software flaws affecting Java in the third quarter of 2014 alone. In total, 77.65 percent of users running Personal Software Inspector (PSI) were running Java with around half running unpatched versions covering all versions including end of life. Despite its vulnerability and continuing popularity with attackers, Java has added some security features over the years, including December 2012's Java Version 7 Update 10 which made it possible to disable Java browser plug-ins. Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of security firm Qualys, suggested that the security benefits were welcome. "Including Java inside its own installation is a good move by the Minecraft team. It enables Minecraft to have the best version of Java available for its type of processing, giving better performance. On top of that they can turnoff specific unnecessary items such as the browser integration part that are a huge win from a security perspective." he said. "My backup program CrashPlan uses the same mechanism and it has been instrumental in making my Java installations on my desktop simpler - I don't have Java on the desktop anymore. I wish other programs such as Symantec AV for Mac went the same route." "It reduces the Java threat to zero." Mojang is now part of Microsoft's stable having been bought by the firm last September for $2.5 billion.

The damning report released by auditors last week on the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) was predictable. Since it was conceived about 10 years ago, the EIT — a €3-billion (US$3.4-billion) mechanism that is supposed to stimulate innovation in areas that are considered to be among Europe's foremost societal challenges — has suffered more than just teething problems (see page 291). As the auditors pointed out, the EIT has struggled to align business and research communities in sectors such as public health or the development of clean technologies in a way that could address common market failures. The EIT as a whole has still to prove that its existence makes a real difference. To do so, managers must monitor more closely — and demonstrate more plausibly — whether the substantial tax money spent on the EIT triggers the desired effects on innovation. Creating commercially relevant knowledge through basic research needs incentives. But innovation is not something that technocrats (or bureaucrats) can easily order. Innovation and bureaucracy are in fact not a good match — too much of the latter is one of the reasons why the EIT has failed to meet expectations. The audit report comes as proposals swirl for yet another European Union innovation body — one to be called the European Innovation Council. The idea might seem inappropriate at a time when top-down approaches to stimulate absent market forces have been weighed and found wanting. But the EIT's failure is a good occasion to think about what is missing. It's a given that the EU needs to unlock its innovative potential to make its ageing societies fit for the future and create jobs for the next generation. So why are the EU's economic competitors in North America and Asia more able to transform the ideas of academic scientists and engineers into marketable goods and services? It is not for want of good intent and trying. European universities have long ceased to be academic havens where students and staff ponder the wonders of the world in splendid isolation. Science parks, incubators and technology-transfer offices have become the rule on European campuses. Also, the European Commission's €80-billion Horizon 2020 research programme has a strong emphasis on producing applicable science in partnership with small and large companies. Other schemes — EU Finance for Innovators, Joint Technology Initiatives, European Innovation Partnerships and the EU Innovation Union — likewise intend to obtain the maximum economic return on research money. And yet the quality in question is in short supply. Why hasn't the investment and effort led to greater innovation? The byzantine complexity of the EU's innovation support is making it less effective than policymakers would like it to be. There are just too many programmes, too many levels, too many forms, bodies, requirements and exceptions. The bureaucratic confusion is not stifling innovation all together — the EU's graphene flagship project and countless small entrepreneurial success stories are sufficient evidence that some things do work very well. But given the EIT dilemma, Europe's leading research universities have rightly reminded policymakers that streamlining and simplifying EU innovation instruments is a better approach to stimulating the sought-after quality than adding another layer of complexity on top of it. This does not mean that a European Innovation Council — for which the European Commission issued a call for ideas in February — would necessarily be wasted money. But such a council must seek to optimize, rather than add to, the existing portfolio of initiatives and mechanisms. Europe's paradoxical innovation bureaucracy might still benefit from a high-level advisory body comprising competent business leaders, researchers and policy experts. So, incidentally, might the floundering EIT.

Casa means house, and nevo is related to the verb 'to snow'. So, taken literally, Casanevo can mean 'house in the snow' or 'snow house' (perhaps a version of a White House). It also feels like it's a relative of the name Casanova, with all its romantic references.

Russian goods came to China
06.10.2015 411 views
Online marketplace TMall Global, which is part of Alibaba, started selling goods from Russia in China.
It is to be recalled that ABK retail chain was one of the first Russian companies wishing to sell their products in China. The retailer started selling their groceries in China on September 1, planning to finally reach $60 million sales volume. The terms of the deal allow the company to import products from Russia directly.
The first shipment to China included sweets from the United Confectioners holding such as Alyonka chocolates, Bite and Ecobotanica snack bars, baby puree Frutonyanya, marshmallow soufflé Charmel.
According to M.Zavadsky, General Director of the Russian branch of Alibaba Group, the ABK turnover-based commission will be "a few percent". Usually TMall's charges include 5-10 thousand dollars annually, depending on the goods, a 25 thousand dollar security deposit and 0.5-5% of each transaction.

On Sunday, television viewers will finally get to see what's inside George R.R. Martin's head. Some of the contents, anyway.
This weekend, HBO will finally debut the fantasy epic 'Game of Thrones.' It's based on a book Martin began working on two decades ago, the first in a projected seven-novel series that spins a complex tale of love, betrayal and danger in a world not unlike Medieval Europe.
Last January, I spoke to Martin during the Television Critics Association press tour, and the transcript of that chat is below. Of course, Martin has given lots of interviews since then, and in a conference call with reporters on Monday, he addressed, if only indirectly, the brouhaha over what he said about the ending of 'Lost.' A few tidbits from that conference call are below as well.

And 2 more authors.
Journal of Chromatographic Science | Year: 2015
A fast and simple sample cleanup approach for levocetirizine in human was developed using protein precipitation coupled with LC-MS-MS. Samples were treated with 6% trichloroacetic acid in water prior to LC-MS-MS analysis. Chromatographic separation was performed on a reverse phase column with an isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrile and 10 mM ammonium formate pH 3.5 (80:20, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The run time was 3.5 min. Mass parameters were optimized to monitor transitions at m/z [M+H]+ 389.0→201.0 for levocetirizine and m/z [M+H]+ 375.3→201.0 for hydroxyzine as internal standard. The lower limit of quantification and the dynamic range were 1.00 and 1.00-500 ng/mL, respectively. Linearity was good for intraday and interday validations (r2 ≥ 0.995). The mean recoveries were 59 and 69% for levocetirizine and hydroxyzine, respectively. Matrix effect was acceptable with %CV < 15. Hemolytic effect was negligible. Levocetirizine was stable in human plasma for 27 h at room temperature (25°C), for 16 weeks frozen at -70°C, 4 weeks frozen at -20°C, for 24 h in an autosampler at 15°C and for three freeze/thaw cycles. The validated method was applied in a pharmacokinetic study to determine the concentration of levocetirizine in plasma samples. The study provides a fast and simple bioanalytical method for routine analysis and may be particularly useful for bioequivalence studies. © The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press.

You'll never guess who visited Mayor Beng Climaco at the Zamboanga City hall
Hint: it's a big red bee!
It was a normal working day for Mayor Beng Climaco at the Zamboanga City Hall with her scheduled filled with one meeting after another. But she got a big surprise one day as she saw no less than Jollibee the mascot entering her office.
Officials of the local fast food chain went to pay her a courtesy call as they opened a new branch in the city. As their way to say thank you to Climaco for all the assistance, they brought the famous bee to their meeting with her.
Climaco even got a hug from Jollibee. How sweet!

text: Is Good Friday a hoax? I think so. Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Anyone who believes this verse must realize that if Jesus was crucified on Friday, he could not have been in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights. If he died on Friday, that would make 1 day and 2 nights. Is that how long Jonah was in the whale's belly? Do most Baptists agree that Jesus died on Wednesday night? It seems that I have come across many who believe the Catholic tradition that he was crucified on Friday. My sermon this Sunday morning gave several reasons why Jesus was not crucified on Friday in addition to Matt 12:40. The title was "The Hoax of Good Friday" taken from a sermon I heard of the same name with some other information/preaching on the subject.

I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

This year, create a Look of Copper Enamel Pencil Box from Heidi Borchers before you or your favorite kid heads back to school. This is a fun and sophisticated back to school craft. The copper enameling process is complicated and difficult to achieve at home, so use this simple technique instead.
- Aleene's Original Tacky Glue
- Wood pencil box
- Acrylic paints – one for base coat and 3 to 4 for the mixtures
- Brush for base coat
- Tooth picks/wood skewers- for mixing
- Pin – I used a corsage pin
- Waxed paper
- Blue painters tape
For my box, I used a wood box with an indentation on the top. This is ideal for this technique so that the glue mixture does not drip off the top. You can also see that my box had a design embossed into the wood. You will not see this design once you apply your glue mixture.
Using the brush, base coat the entire wood box. Let paint dry.
Using the blue painters tape, tape off the top area where the glue mixture will be placed.
To keep your waxed paper from moving around, tape it down to your work surface. The waxed paper should be large enough to hold the box and have space for mixing the glue and paints. Place a puddle of glue for each color of acrylic paint you will be using. Make one puddle larger (for the background color).
Immediately squeeze acrylic paints into the puddles of glue.
Using the toothpick or wood skewer mix the paint into the glue, until completely mixed. (Note: For the white background, you will need to mix the white paint into the glue. (If you only used the glue, it would be clear when dry which would be another technique all together).
Using a wooden skewer, place the background mixture (white paint and glue) into the area you taped off. Make sure all of the wood area is covered with the mixture. Don't worry about the uneven texture, it will flatten out.
Immediately drop small drops of the other mixtures into the wet background mixture.
To create your designs,place point of the pin in the center of the drop and pull outward through the glue mixture. Wipe the pin point off and continue to draw through and wipe pin off after each time.
You can add more dots of colors on colors, and repeat pulling pin through colors.
Carefully remove blue tape after about two hours. Let glue dry completely. If necessary touch up the box base coat paint color with a brush.
For legs on box, glue plastic water bottle caps onto the bottom of the box and paint. Let paint dry.

Six Reasons Buying an Island in Honduras Is a Smart Move
If your fantasies drift toward exotic real estate purchases, you may have dreamed of owning your own tropical island. The reasons for wanting to own an island are as varied as these properties themselves.
For some folks it's the status. For others it's the opportunity to own a boutique resort or exclusive guest house with no pesky neighbors. Maybe you've thought about developing an island as an investment property, or perhaps it just seems like an ideal location to swing your retirement away in a hammock.
Whatever the motivation, we're here to tell you owning an island is actually within the confines of feasibility. And if you're looking to do it for a reasonable price without a huge amount of red tape, you should definitely consider buying an island in Honduras. Here are six good reasons why.
Buying an Island in Honduras Is Simpler Than You Think
Honduras has a stable government that is the second oldest democracy in Latin America and is modeled after the U.S. government. As such, they are very encouraging of foreign real estate investors. Foreigners have been permitted to purchase property there since 1991.
While technically non-citizens can only buy three-quarters of an acre, for about two grand, you can set up a corporation in Honduras, and as the Administrator, you can purchase any size property and set up a Honduran bank account.
Buying an island in Honduras is pretty easy, provided you work with local Honduran real estate agents and attorneys and follow a few basic steps:
- Verify the property history on the property registry, and make sure all tax payments are up-to-date and the title is clean.
- Notarize the preliminary deed to the property. (The notary fee is 3-5%.)
- Pay the 1.5% transfer tax and the 0.15% registration fee at a bank.
- Register the property at a property office. Then the official change of ownership will be filed with the Cadastre office, and you will receive a publicly registered document to that effect.
As the seller pays the agent's fee in this case, the total charge to the buyer is between 4.65% and 6.65%. The entire process of buying an island in Honduras takes a little more than a month.
Sometimes sellers will finance the property for the new buyer, as Honduran bank financing is only available to legal residents (see below) and citizens. If you own property in the States, it may be possible to take out a second mortgage or line of credit against that and use the cash to buy in Honduras.
Honduras Is Still a Bargain
Honduras is still a little bit of a secret in the tropics, but it won't be for long. The market is starting to rebound after the global economic downturn, and real estate prices won't stay this low forever.
While it may be tempting to make super lowball offers on properties, it's best to check on a listing's history first. If the price has already been drastically reduced, it's likely the owner won't go much lower. And if they paid cash for the property, they won't be upside down on a mortgage and desperate to sell.
Do your homework and partner with a good local agent, and you'll be able to find something that fits with your wallet.
The overall cost of living in Honduras is about one-third to one-half of the rest of Central America. Property taxes and utility costs are very low, and there is no income tax on money earned outside the country. This allows most investors to either buy more property and maintenance help for their money or to get by on a smaller income.
If you are willing to live like a local (isn't that why you're there in the first place?), buying an island in Honduras is an incredible bargain.
You Have Lots of Choices
Buying an island in Honduras is like being Goldilocks. If this one is too big and that one is too small, you can still count on finding one that's just right with the variety of properties available there. From tiny uninhabited atolls nestled in sapphire waters to fully developed luxury paradises, there is something for everyone. While there are always homes and parcels listed on the bigger Bay Islands, if you really want an entire island to yourself, it can be done.
The Residency Requirements Are Friendly There
As you would imagine in a country that makes it so easy for foreigners to buy property, residency requirements are quite straightforward and achievable too. While you don't need to have a residency in Honduras to own property there, it's generally recommended.
Establishing residency only takes about 3-6 months via the Honduran Embassy, after the usual fees and checks for identity, health, and criminal background. It can be done for a little over a thousand dollars, and you can get a visa in one of five categories:
- Residente Inversionista: if you intend to invest in Honduras
- Residente Rentista: if you are retired at a certain income level
- Residente Pensionada: if you are retired at a lower income level
- Working Residency: if you are employed by a Honduran business
- Family Residency: as a spouse or parent of a Honduran citizen
Residency categories and income qualifications change periodically for all Latin American countries, so check with the nearest embassy for the most up-to-date requirements.
You'll Make Everyone at Home Jealous
Don't underestimate this one. How cool is it to have your own retreat from the world with complete privacy and control over your entire environment? And buying an island in Honduras will likely cost you less than a nice pied a terre in Manhattan or a flat in Kensington.
You can feel like a kid again exploring the wilderness and living in a cabin with no electricity, or you can build the palace of your dreams. Either way people will hate you. Then they'll suck up to you so they can say, "I'm going to spend the week visiting friends in Honduras. Did I mention they have their own island?"
Honduras Is Wide Open for Business Opportunities
Just like with the real estate market, this is a terrific time to set up business in Honduras. The tourism industry is burgeoning there, and opportunities abound for people to cater to it. Anything to do with leisure time there is sure to be a hit: snorkeling or scuba diving (Honduras, like Belize, is part of the Mesoamerican Reef), fishing, boating, riding, or golfing, to name a few.
If you want confirmation of how popular Honduras is becoming, just look at how much cruise ship activity has picked up there. Industry leader Carnival even developed their own beach on Roatan for passengers. These floating villages bring thousands of people to Honduras every time they dock, so there is an infinite supply of new customers for many types of businesses.
Whether you're seeking a stunning retirement locale or a place to start a second, completely different career, buying an island in Honduras can make it possible. Put it on the radar for your next vacation, so you can fly down and see for yourself why it's consistently on many top ten retirement destinations. You may like it so much you'll regret having bought a return ticket.

((... You know what I don't mind?))Fave and runs.((... You know what I don't mind?)) by Ask-MMD-Finland
I know you're busy and you've got a life.
It doesn't bother me that you don't comment.
Maybe you haven't got the time.
Maybe you love it so much that you're speechless.
Maybe you're laaaaaaazy (like me).
Maybe your mom came in and you had to hurry and switch tabs, but you accidentally 'X'd out of it and forgot about it later.
I don't care.
And I don't see why some people get themselves so worked up about it.
Is it really that big of a deal?
I mean...
Wouldn't you rather have someone like your art and simply "fav" it instead of writing a rude or useless comment?
I would.
All I know is that you gave my art work a "favorite," which means you must like it a little, right?
That makes me feel good.
That's all I have to say on the subject, really.
If you read this, thank you.

About the Author
In 1987, the year Gary Rosenzweig started college,Drexel University in Philadelphia had the foresight to require every student to purchase a computer. Better still, they required that computer be a Macintosh.
From the 1987 Macintosh SE with two floppy disk drives and a little monochrome screen, to his current 2009 Mac Pro with two four-core Xeon processors, Gary has always owned a Mac.
His Mac was his primary tool used in creating games and websites from 1994 to the present day. But it wasn?t until 2007 that he took his love of Macs to the professional level with the launch of the MacMost site and video podcast.
At first,MacMost covered Apple news each week. But soon it evolved into a more frequent show with tutorials, tips, news, and reviews.The website grew as well, featuring iPhone games, ringtones, a weekly newsletter, and other features.
Gary has also written many books, most on programming using Macromedia/Adobe software like Director and Flash. He lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife,Debby, and daughter, Luna. Also a dog and too many cats.

The fact is that individuals over the age of 65 (senior citizens) are more susceptible to fraud. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reports that almost 20% of older Americans fell victim to one or more types of fraud or scams during 2016. The total loss experienced by these individuals is estimated to be in the billions of dollars.
