Nanoengineers build world's largest database of crystal surfaces and shapes

|"This work is an important starting point for studying the material surfaces and interfaces, where many novel properties can be found. We've developed a new resource that can be used to better understand surface science and find better materials for surface-driven technologies," said Shyue Ping Ong, a nanoengineering professor at UC San Diego and senior author of the study.
|For example, fuel cell performance is partly influenced by the reaction of molecules such as hydrogen and oxygen on the surfaces of metal catalysts. Also, interfaces between the electrodes and electrolyte in a rechargeable lithium-ion battery host a variety of chemical reactions that can limit the battery's performance. The work in this study is useful for these applications, said Ong, who is also part of a larger effort by the UC San Diego Sustainable Power and Energy Center to design better battery materials.
|"Researchers can use this database to figure out which elements or materials are more likely to be viable catalysts for processes like ammonia production or making hydrogen gas from water," said Richard Tran, a nanoengineering PhD student in Ong's Materials Virtual Lab and the study's first author. Tran did this work while he was an undergraduate at UC San Diego.
|The work, published Sept. 13 in the journal Scientific Data ("Surface energies of elemental crystals"), provides the surface energies and equilibrium crystal shapes of more than 100 polymorphs of 72 elements in the periodic table. Surface energy describes the stability of a surface; it is a measure of the excess energy of atoms on the surface relative to those in the bulk material. Knowing surface energies is useful for designing materials that perform their functions primarily on their surfaces, like catalysts and nanoparticles.

|The surface energies of some elements in their crystal form have been measured experimentally, but this is not a trivial task. It involves melting the crystal, measuring the resulting liquid's surface tension at the melting temperature, then extrapolating that value back to room temperature. This process also requires that the sample have a clean surface, which is challenging because other atoms and molecules (like oxygen and water) can easily adsorb to the surface and modify the surface energy.
|Surface energies obtained by this method are averaged values that lack the facet-specific resolution that is necessary for design, Ong said. "This is one of the areas where the 'virtual laboratory' can create the most value--by allowing us to precisely control the models and conditions in a way that is extremely difficult to do in experiments."
|Also, the surface energy is not just a single number for each crystal because it depends on the crystal's orientation. "A crystal is a regular arrangement of atoms. When you cut a crystal in different places and at different angles, you expose different facets with unique arrangements of atoms," explained Ong, who teaches the course NANO106 - Crystallography of Materials at UC San Diego.
|To carry out this ambitious project, Ong and his team developed highly sophisticated automated workflows to calculate surface energies from first principles. These workflows are built on the popular open-source Python Materials Genomics library and FireWorks workflow codes of the Materials Project, which were co-authored by Ong.
|"The techniques for calculating surface energies have been known for decades. The major accomplishment is the codification of how to generate surface models and run these complex calculations in a robust and efficient manner," Tran said. The surface model generation software code developed by the team has already been extended by others to study substrates and interfaces. Powerful supercomputers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab were used for the calculations.
|Ong's team worked with researchers from the Berkeley Lab's Materials Project to develop and construct Crystalium's website. Co-founded and directed by Berkeley Lab scientist Kristin Persson, the Materials Project is a Google-like database of material properties calculated by supercomputers.
|"The Materials Project was designed to be an open and accessible tool for scientists and engineers to accelerate materials innovation," Persson said. "In five years, it has attracted more than 20,000 users working on everything from batteries to photovoltaics to thermoelectrics, and it's extremely gratifying to see scientists like Ong providing lots of high quality computed data of high interest and making it freely available and easily accessible to the public."
|The researchers pointed out that their database is the most extensive collection of calculated surface energies for elemental crystalline solids to date. Compared to previous compilations, Crystalium contains surface energies for far more elements, including both metals and non-metals, and for more facets in each crystal. The elements that have been excluded from their calculations are gases and radioactive elements. Notably, Ong and his team have validated their calculated surface energies with those from experiments, and the values are in excellent agreement.
|Moving forward, the team will work on expanding the scope of the database beyond single elements to multi-element compounds like alloys, which are made of two or more different metals, and binary oxides, which are made of oxygen and one other element. Efforts are also underway to study the effect of common adsorbates, such as hydrogen, on surface energies, which is key to understanding the stability of surfaces in aqueous media.
|"As we continue to build this database, we hope that the research community will see it as a useful resource for the rational design of target surface or interfacial properties," said Ong,

An injured civilian has the right to sue a government agency if it is responsible for his accident. However, there are some exceptions. The time limits are shorter for making an injury claim and the government is immune to certain injury claims. If you have been injured because of a government agency's negligence, contact expert personal injury attorney George Ganim at Ganim Injury Lawyers. There may be legal options available to fight for fair compensation.
Bail exoneration is the termination of the obligation of bail. It is the final step of the bail process that takes place when the defendant meets every condition laid out in the bond order. After bail exoneration, a bail bondsman or an insurance company is no longer responsible for the person's bail. Apple Bail Bonds is committed to helping people who have been charged with crimes get released from custody until their court dates.
Filing for either Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy will cost you, lowering your credit score by 100 points or more.

Sugar Ray frontman Mark Mcgrath will become a father this May (10) - his new fiancee is pregnant with twins.
The singer reveals he proposed to his longterm girlfriend Carin Kingsland on New Year's Eve (31Dec09) at the Viper Room club in Los Angeles - the same place they met 16 years ago.
And that's not the only reason MCGrath has been celebrating - the happy couple is expecting a baby boy and girl next month (May10).
But the star confesses the prospect of having two tots to care for is a scary one.
MCGrath tells People.com, "I'm so excited. My DNA paranoia is kicking in: I've got to feed these children. We've got to get the nursery together. And what do you do when you bring the kids home?
"Most parents are like, 'Oh, the wonders of child rearing.' But we're freaking out! The first year is going to be gnarly."
The babies were conceived via IVF treatment and despite his worries, the rocker admits he's counting down the days till their birth.
He adds, "I love them already but I need them to come out so I can really shower them with love. I can't wait to met them."

For team favor of the Gods, when then spear drops down it will spawn in front of the cyclops. Just go up to it and press R1 than O repeatedly. Once you obtain it you can attack the cyclops with O, after a few hits he will collapse, run up to his head and press R1 to finish him off
Basically the spear allows you to kill the cyclops and gain 1000 points from doing so, or you can keep it and run through your enemies to catch up (very powerful weapon)
Hope that helps.
That makes sense, thanks.
Re: remove that spear of olympus cinematic!
The cinematic is important. It gives you the notion that the gods are watching and gives a bit more of an epic feeling to the gameplay. There's a countdown for it so everyone (except the people in battle) should be prepared for it. As for battle there's no real good way to put it back unless you have a perfect pause. If it kicks in when you're launching someone it should start again with you launching them.
Re: remove that spear of olympus cinematic!
Screwing me over in or out of combat just to poorly register a theme such as 'the Gods are watching' is bad design.
When anything remotely similar to this (e.g. showing a single platform appear after killing an enemy) happened in the singleplayer campaigns of the God of War Saga, the game would at least have the courtesy to give Kratos temporary invulnerability and prevent further action on both sides — cases like this were rare, too.
Any engrossing thematic display that the devs are hoping to present with this cutscene just falls flat for me, currently. Why should I care when I've just been killed yet again due to this cutscene, whether by trap, magic, the Cyclops, or some other form of damage that occurs in between? Or maybe I was just about to stop someone from getting an altar, but now they can finish claiming it while my avatar stands by.
You'd be better off showing it at the beginning of the game, rather than taking control from me halfway through. Seeing it once was enough, anyhow. At this point, it's just a nuisance. Please find an another way.
Also, don't get me wrong. I still love this game so far. I'm just emphatically voicing my opinion over this because it's affected my experience at least several times.
Re: remove that spear of olympus cinematic!
The spear cinematic needs to stay... It adds the God of War flavor to the MP and is awsome. Regardless, I am not going to NOT buy the game if you remove the cinematic, obviously, lol. People who think that it should be removed are still going to love the game if the cinematic stays. I don't really even think this is an issue to be honest. In my opinion, it should stay though.

Re: remove that spear of olympus cinematic!
Re: remove that spear of olympus cinematic![ Edited ]
I would personally like the cutscene removed since it interrupts any fight I was in. My idea:
> Tutorial for each mode, where a camera pans over the map and highlights key elements that we should know about and explains what our objective is.
> Remove cutscene, since it was explained in the tutorial (perhaps ask us if we want to view the tutorial before selecting a mode).
> Have the screen shake and go a bit light-bluish when the spear falls, while also displaying a message and maybe a voiceover.

Upon arrival sheets dirty,notified owner and told to wash them.Utensils beyond use,purchased some and of course took home.Carpets need good cleaning or replacement.Bed in upstairs bedroom needs replacing,just when you roll over makes enough noise to wake you and very uncomfortable.
To bad,with a little care would be a nice place to stay.

Owner Comments
When the guest arrived, my cleaning company was on site and asked if everything was satisfactory. The guest replied...Yes, thank you! If he found things unsatisfactory, why did he not tell my cleaning company immediately. When the guest called about the bed sheets being dirty, I let him know there was another set in the closet and I would purchase a new set for him. As I am in Maryland, I could not deliver to him right away, but did within a few days. Apparently he did not find it too unsatisfactory as he stayed our place for 35 days.

In arrival we found the condo dirty beyond believe. The cleaners claim they did not know we were coming. However, the cleaners have not really been cleaning in months. No dusting or vacuuming and a lot of maintenance is needed. The owner went out of her way to accomodate us and even returned my cleaning deposit.
The owner is getting ripped off - she have a lovely place which need a bit if TLC

My family and I recently stayed at this townhouse. The place was adequate but the ac wasnt working correctly and the carpet in the living room was dirty. It was ok for a short stay but I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays. It just lacked some of the basics and it was too far from the main pool. Probably, wouldnt stay again.

Thanks for helping!
We were staying at hotel so ate breakfast here too. Cold eggs and cold sausage. Coffee was good. Very limited selections for a buffet. Not a good buffet at all. Service was very efficient though.
There are not many options other than fast food in Eureka, so we decided to eat at the hotel restaurant for our first night in town. The food is average, but good in a pinch. Kids eat free when an adult entree is purchased. Friendly staff.
Our group of friends love to meet at The Hay Market. The staff is always friendly and always gets our order right, not an easy tasks with our group. Grandma's meatloaf and the bbq ribs are a favorite. The reuben has a great flavor and not fatty. Really good fries, crispy on the outside not greasy on the inside.
I have had breakfast here several times and always got great service. The food was great and arrived hot, plenty of hot coffee. The atmoshphere here is so much better than some of the other places in Eureka.
Service was friendly. Food was very good. We had the chicken mimi chimi's, quesadillas, and nachos. Portion sizes were big enough to share. Will look forward to returning.
We stay at this hotel when we visit Six Flags. We usually eat breakfast here and we typically shuttle back for either lunch or supper too just due to cost and the quality of food offered at Six Flags.
We really enjoy their breakfast buffet. It is reasonably priced and the food is pretty good.
Lunch and dinner can be...
Kris W. the host suggested the ribs when I asked. Boy was that a good suggestion. Very possibly the best ribs I've ever eaten! The ribs are smoked right on the premises. Kris, Amber my server and Bill the Manager were superb! I asked Amber if she knew of a sports bar I could watch the Blues game. She checked...
There was 1 other table that had people at it. It took 45 minutes for our food (there were only 4 of us and 3 ordered off the kids menu). When we finally got the food, the server asked if we needed anything else. She hadn't even brought our drinks yet.
eat there twice just to make sure the first time was not just a off day. service was awful, the price is more than what the food is worth.
Okay, we arrived on Easter Sunday and went down to dinner about 6 p.m., figuring eating in the hotel would be easy after a very long drive. I was thankful they were open. By the time we were done dinner I was much less thankful they were open. Practically everything we (and others) ordered, elicited a revisit from the single...

|Enable automation for release blocker requests?
|Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:20:19 GMT
With the new round of hand-written request-for-blocker-flag mails I'd like to reintroduce the automatism I had suggested a while ago [1]: When someone requests a release blocker flag in bugzilla then an automatic mail to either this or to the ooo-issues list should be generated. A couple of month this suggestion was rejected because of the noise it generated on the mailing lists. But with the hand-written requests we have all the noise, a source for errors and extra work. Why not automate and let the computers do what they can do better? Other possible workflows could be that the issues with pending blocker-flags get queried and only the issues where its comments show uncertainties or conflict potential should be discussed on the dev-mailing list. IMHO the workflow we are using now with the manual requests is the worst of the three alternatives. [1] http://email@example.com%3E Herbert

Q: I was reading your explanation on the difference between narrow deck and wide deck Lycomings — what an excellent piece of writing. My interest is that my brother Lee and I have my Dad's PA-20 and, while stored indoors, it hasn't flown since 1964 or so, but I'm thinking (perhaps foolishly) about putting it back together. I'm thinking the old O-290-D-2 (while in excellent shape and only 200 TT, but 7/16ths valves) will have to go. An O-320 is approved in the Wag Aero and Copper River STCs for the PA-20 (so is a 160 by another company). I don't know why the O-320 works out so well in the Pacers, it's only another 15 hp.
The big question is that I have found several narrow deck O-320s for sale and wondered if that engine is any more or less worthwhile than the wide deck version. [Read more…]

- Are You Pleased With Allah (swt)? - July 27, 2015
Adapted for Hiba Magazine by Tasneem Vali
On the authority of Abu Abdullah al-Numan bin Bashir (rta) who said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (swt) say: "Truly, what is lawful is evident and what is unlawful is evident. And in between the two are matters which are doubtful which many people do not know. He who guards against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour blameless. And he who indulges in doubtful things indulges in fact in unlawful things. Just as a shepherd who pastures his flock round a preserve, he will soon pasture them in it. Beware; every king has a preserve, and the things Allah (swt) has declared unlawful are His preserves. Beware; in the body there is a flesh. If it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt, and behold, it is the heart." (Bukhari and Muslim)
This Hadeeth is recorded by Imam Bukhari, as the first Hadeeth, in the Book of Trading (Kitab al-Buyu). It is not a coincidence; the order of Ahadeeth recorded in Saheeh Bukhari have a logic behind them. There are two major consequences of this choice.
In our high-paced, terahertz life of today, we are convinced that everything falls into the grey area; there are very few black and white answers to our problems. Most Ulema (scholars) agree that life has not become more complicated; we just do not know how to peel the layers to get to the heart of the problem. A marginal number of actions belong in the doubtful area; the maximum number is still clearly lawful or unlawful.
The first part of the Hadeeth is used as an analogy to convey that doubtful actions/things are closer to unlawful actions/things. This can be demonstrated by a few everyday examples.
Most Ulema (scholars) agree that life has not become more complicated; we just do not know how to peel the layers to get to the heart of the problem. A marginal number of actions belong in the doubtful area; the maximum number is still clearly lawful or unlawful.
1. Smoking cigarettes is doubtful. That is the view. However, it is closer to unlawful as smoking is injurious to one's health and the Quran clearly states that we should not destroy ourselves. Drugs, alcohol, etc. are not specifically mentioned in the Quran, but follow the principle above; they do more harm than good, and hence, they are unlawful.
2. Selling grapes is lawful. If your grapes are used to make an unlawful drink, will you be held responsible? This is a doubtful area in business, so stay away from it.
3. A person, who stitches clothes, is earning his wage lawfully. However, if they sew clothes that do not cover Awrah, or are revealing or immodest, they have moved into doubtful territory.
4. Teaching is related to the Prophet (sa). It is the noblest of all professions and the most respected. When teachers accept gifts from students, it enters into the doubtful territory; no matter how impartial you are, the gift will affect your judgement.
He who guards against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour intact. Those who indulge in doubtful things indulge in unlawful things. Just as a shepherd, who allows his flock to graze near a neighbour's pasture; the flock will soon move over to unlawful territory. Everything we do or say must be clear and evident; there should be no doubt about it.
Allah (swt) is our Rabb (Lord); we are obligated to stay away from everything He has confirmed as unlawful. The Quran reminds us that grey areas are Khutuwat as-Shaitan (the devil's footsteps).
"O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahsha (i.e. to commit indecency), and Al-Munkar (disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam, etc.)). And, had it not been for the Grace of Allah (swt) and His Mercy on you, not one of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah (swt) purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills, and Allah (swt) is All-Hearer, All-Knower." (An-Nur 24:21)
Doubtful matters are due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of the root issue. More importantly, we make light indulging in doubtful matters because our heart is not free. Each of us must have on-going strategies to purify our hearts and fill it with Iman and Taqwa. Some things certain to protect us and keep us far away from the doubtful are:

There are many water purification systems available on the market, and these are in high demand for outdoor enthusiasts, international travellers, relief workers and groups, and for those preparing for any eventuality.
The human body is made up of about 60% water. The amount of water needed is dependent on a number of factors including altitude, humidity, temperature and the amount of physical exertion.
Whilst resting it is estimated that men need 3 litres per day and women 2.2 litres. Yet, if exercising this can increase by up to 50%. If you were backpacking you would not want to carry enough water for your entire trip on your back; this would equate to over 35lb for a male!
Luckily we can usually find water within streams and lakes. However, this water would not be safe to drink without some form of treatment. Most freshwater, will contain contaminants such as viruses, cysts and bacteria.
Popular methods and treatments used to treat such water include: boiling, iodine or chlorine-based treatments and neutralising tablets.
A significantly better alternative is the LIFESAVER bottle. Both reliable and effective, the LIFESAVER bottle also works without the aid of chemicals or any need for power. Weighing in at just 635 grams when empty, it is light enough even when filled with water to carry from one water source to the next. With over 30000 LIFESAVER bottles already issued to Military personnel since 2007, you can rest assured that you are investing in a quality product.
For effective water purification systems, LIFESAVER systems will provide you with clean sterile drinking water, without any need for chemicals, and with the capability to process up to 6000 litres of water, will be the perfect travel companion.

It was a gorgeous day for a run on Saturday morning. Then again, it is on most weekends in Hawaii. That made for perfect conditions for the second Color Run Extravaganza at Puakea Golf Course.
According to The Garden Island, approximately 75 participants either ran, walked or both around the cart paths at the 18-hole facility, which routes around mountains, ravines and offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean on five holes.
For three miles, participants ran a course where, at certain checkpoints, volunteers splashed the prepared runners with colored corn starch.

Walking in Humility challenges the believer to follow Christ through walking in submissive obedience to God. All of us must follow the way of Christ "who humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:8). With many penetrating discussions of Scripture, illustrations, and quotes, Mike discusses what humility means, and then shows how we can live as God requires (Micah 6:8). "The presentation of humility as it relates to the core Christian truths was both stimulating and challenging.... Mike has a very discipleship-oriented approach to living the Christian life. He didn't make it sound easy but surely worth the effort." -Author Ron Bennett, National Leadership Team, The Navigators Church Discipleship Ministry "The insight and hands-on advice included in Mike Vincent's Walking in Humility provide a guide for individuals who eagerly desire to live as Spirit-filled believers who have determined that life is not about them." -Pastor Dan Brenton, Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, Georgia (from the Foreword) "Though we often discuss the ideal of humility, we rarely practice it. Jesus lived it.... Mike Vincent shows how we can allow Christ to live His life through us as we yield authority to His will." -Stephen Doggett, Associate Executive Director, Evangelical Free Church Mission "Walking in Humility by Mike Vincent wonderfully captures the simplicity and challenge of walking humbly with Christ.... It is extremely practical and I would recommend it to anyone who desires to walk with and experience Christ." -Joe Bucha, Human Resource Associate, Southeast Region, Campus Crusade for Christ

From fine-dining to street food, Marrakech is a foodie's paradise. Moroccan cuisine is characterised by its blend of berries, chili, cinnamon, nutmeg and turmeric. Marrakech's specialty is tanija, which is essentially a slow-cooked beef stew. Orange juice or mint-garnished green tea is the traditional drinks to wash down meals.
The Gastro MK in Marrakech offers France and Morocco on a plate. The restaurant serves a five-course meal on the terrace. Chef Omar El Ouahssoussie took over the Gastro from Gordon Ramsey's disciple, Andrew West. The menu features filet mignon tagine and creative dishes from local ingredients including fig tiramisu. The restaurant offers cooking classes on booking.
La MaisonArabe has the finest of Marrakech's musicians play under lantern-lit skies. The theme is mostly set to exude a homely vibe. Slow-cooked caramelised pumpkin and saffron infused lamb with orange garnish on the hammam with herbs and spices make the house's specialties.
The Al Fassia will welcome you with a scrumptious feast. Herb-stuffed fish, slow-roasted lamb with almonds and couscous make the menu at Al Fassia. The Al Fassia combines refinement with richness. The restaurant is one that invites a strong palate.
The Moroccan-themed Villa Flore serves eggplant caviar and duck confit with a bottle of chardonnay. French doors and velvet divans characterise the setting of the restaurant.
Getting a reservation at this restaurant with 20 spots is a Herculean task. Chef Cecile Marot serves his signature seasonal Moroccan-Mediterranean food. Kaffir lime sauce, creamy pumpkin soup garnished with cinnamon and tartetatin coupled with apples from the Atlas Mountains are served here.
Souk Kafe provides the goodness of wholesome Marrakech food. The staff will gently ensure that you finish your meals. Souk Kafe's tables are laden with a feast of tender tangia, lamb stew, vegetables, and of course, green tea!
The henna café has a henna-tattoo salon attached to it. Started by four British entrepreneurs, this cafe serves everything from potato and egg sandwich to falafel and lamb kofta. The benefits go to non-profits and Marrakech's new centre for the disabled. They have language classes and a mehendi workshop as well.
French cuisine served under a tent. Croque-monsieur, turkey ham sandwiches and home-baked quiche are on the menu. With the Koutoubia minaret in view, this is one French-Moroccan experience you'll never forget.
This family restaurant is not only wholesome and warm, offering its traditional Moroccan hospitality to its visitors; it also offers paid internships, literacy classes and training to women in financial need. How about a chicken wrap or seafood bastilla for your meal and then lemon cheesecake or almond biscuits for desert? This restaurant even has a play area for children filled with art supplies and toys. You can relax and unwind while the chef takes you through a hands-on lesson of what goes inside a hearty, delectable, traditional Moroccan meal!

« Anheuser-Busch InBev New Company Naming of Biggest Brewer in the World | Main | Betty James, Inventor of the Slinky Brand Name, Leaves Us a Product Name That Will Never Be Forgotten »
November 24, 2008
Polaroid Uses PoGo Product Naming to Bounce Back
The Polaroid saga has entered into truly ironic brand naming territory.
This once tremendous brand name has not fared well in the era of the digital camera, while a recent fraud investigation probably hasn't been much help either.
It's former owner, Tom Petters, is in jail for recently bilking $33 billion from investors. This all started after Petters called Polaroid a "great brand" and "one of the most well recognized names in America" and said he would bring it back to life using the success of the JetBlue model.
Polaroid, which is facing a lawsuit from the large number of people that Petters ripped off and has been referred to by at least one analyst as a "beaten vagabond," is now introducing the Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer in a last ditch attempt to salvage its name from the scrap heap of history.
The PoGo will go head to head with Fuji's Instax digital camera with a built-in printer that Wired says will "ride the long tail of Polaroid nostalgia." Seems that Polaroid is attempting to do the same. The nostalgia for Polaroids is so great that you can get a program called Poladroid that actually makes normal .jpegs look like blurry Polaroids.
That product, and its Polaroid inspired naming, is funny enough, but Polaroid's decision to name its new product the PoGo reminds me of the famous Pogo comic strip and the quote from one of the characters: "We have met the enemy and he is us," a famous riff on General Hazard Perry's "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." Maybe the folks at Polaroid had this in mind when they named the new product.
Or perhaps they are simply hoping that the new printer will be more like a Pogo stick that will help the company bounce back from its self inflicted misery.

Welcome to my humble blog about my passions for Smart Home Technologies, Sport and Research.
First, let me briefly describe my Smart Home platform that play main role in my activities in this field.
My system represents Demo and Research platform for Smart Home technologies. I've developed whole system from scratch – using Integra BM modules from Cybrotech on automation level and Dianemo Software on higher level. Currently there are around 400 variables (values) "flowing" between both levels ensuring that no event stays unnoticed. House is fully automated, including whole house Audio and Video multimedia system, speech synthesis and implementation of Energy Conservation strategies. Special attention has been devoted to minimize the explicit presence of technology – the aim is to prevent duplication of various gadgets around the house and hide them as much as possible to the end user.
Project has been presented also twice at the national TV and on several lectures for wider audience.
More details will follow on this site – as soon as I find some time to describe whole project in a series of posts about certain details and my experiences gained during the whole process of building and implementation of the system.

Well that was quick. Both Liebermann and Gramnesty are calling the bill effectually DOA.
"Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the health care bill passed last night by the House of Representatives is "dead on arrival to the Senate." Graham argued that the House bill was "written for liberals, by liberals. "Just look at how it passed; it passed 220 to 215. It passed by two votes. You had [39] Democrats vote against the bill," Graham told "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer Sunday. He also admitted that if it were to come down to it, he would join his independent colleague Senator Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., in filibustering a bill including the so-called public option should it come to the Senate floor. "The House bill is a non-starter in the Senate," he added. "I just think the construct out of the House and what exists in the Senate is not going to pass, and I hope and pray it doesn't because it would be a disaster for the economy and health care," Graham concluded."
Liebermann echos:
LIEBERMAN: A public option plan is unnecessary. It has been put forward, I'm convinced, by people who really want the government to take over all of health insurance. They've got a right to do that; I think that would be wrong. But worse than that, we have a problem even greater than the health insurance problems, and that is a debt — $12 trillion today, projected to be $21 trillion in 10 years.
WALLACE: So at this point, I take it, you're a "no" vote in the Senate?
LIEBERMAN: If the public option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote because I believe debt can break America and send us into a recession that's worse than the one we're fighting our way out of today. I don't want to do that to our children and grandchildren.
Which makes you wonder why Pelosi put it up in the first place. There is NO chance that the House Bill sees light in the Senate. So what gives?
Simple, call it menopause, cattiness, whatever, but Pelosi's move did nothing except to show just how weak the Democrat's plan is and how much resistance it will face.
I've got a feeling that Dems are cussing her today.

When Real and Atlético Madrid battle it out in the Champions League final on 24 May in Lisbon, the game between the Spanish capital's two biggest teams in football's top annual tournament will be much more than a battle for supremacy between two sides whose stadia are separated by just four miles.
Real – Los Blancos – are true football royalty. With a record nine European titles to their name already, the club may have a far superior track record to that Atleti – 32 domestic league titles compared to Atlético's nine – but both garner widespread support throughout Spain.
For decades, Real Madrid has been regarded as the traditional favourite of the country's elite. Atlético's fans (with some notable exceptions like Crown Prince Felipe) are traditionally more working class: less well-travelled and less-well-off, maybe, but perhaps less snobby, and at least as passionate.
The all-Madrid duel and what some see as a sporting battle between two different strands of Spanish society became inevitable last week after Atlético blew Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge. Just 24 hours earlier, Real had crushed defending champions Bayern Munich.
For two teams from the same country to vie for top honours in La Champions, as it is known here, is not unusual – it has happened four times since 2000, most recently last year with Germany, but for two teams from the same city to fight for the Champions title is unprecedented in its 59-year history of Europe's premier club competition.
Atlético and Real Madrid, despite their markedly different track records, are so closely linked geographically that supporters' traditional assembly points for celebrations, the Cibeles and the Neptuno fountains in central Madrid, are just a few hundred yards away. Only one will be busy with celebrating fans come the 24th.
The game will split some families of Spanish football supporters, in and outside the capital, neatly down the middle. "We'll lay in the beer and tapas and then spend the evening sitting on opposite sides of the living room table watching the game, like as not wearing our respective teams' shirts" Jose Luis Ballesteros Ramos, a 31-year-old Spanish doctor who supports Atlético, and whose father backs Real, told The Independent.
Chelsea 1 Atletico Madrid 3 player ratings
Chelsea 1 Atletico Madrid 3 player ratings
1/20 Mark Schwarzerv- 6
Veteran continued in place of Cech and watched Koke cross-shot hit bar. Solid handling and made valuable stops but let down by off-colour defence.
2/20 Branislav Ivanovic - 6
Was defensive impetus behind victory at Anfield on Sunday but troubled by pace and imagination of Atletico's forward play all evening.
3/20 Gary Cahill - 6
Centre-back has enjoyed a stellar campaign and made an important block from Costa but culpable for Lopez goal. Booked for taking out Costa.
4/20 David Luiz - 6
Went close with extravagant overhead kick in opening half hour and headed Willian free-kick against post. Lack of composure at times.
5/20 Ramires - 7
Unable to make Courtois work with shot from outside area. Struggled to make meaningful impact on proceedings, despite tireless running.
6/20 Cesar Azpilicueta - 6
Trusted with advanced role and hosts were rewarded when he set up Torres goal. Moved back into defensive role but lost Turan for Spaniard's third.
7/20 Willian - 7
Wasted free-kick opportunity from just outside area. Threat from set-pieces and forward thrust led to Torres' opening goal before tiring late on.
8/20 Eden Hazard - 5
Disappointing showing in first start since Chelsea's last European home tie. Skied one effort and out of position for Atletico's first and third.
9/20 Fernando Torres - 6
Chosen ahead of Eto'o and scored in European semi for third year in succession but refused to celebrate - setting the tone for rest of Blues' evening.
10/20 Thibault Courtois - 8
Finally made first appearance at Stamford Bridge three years after joining. Confident in decision making and made stops from Terry, Luiz and Hazard.
Getty Images
11/20 Juanfran - 7
Fine display last week and impressed again here. Header gave Lopez chance for goal and important clearance after Terry effort kept visitors in command.
Getty Images
12/20 Joao Miranda - 8
Went down with panache under challenge from Hazard. Fine tackle on Torres and furthered his claims for place in Brazil's World Cup squad.
13/20 Diego Godin - 7
Wrestled with Terry at corner but enjoyed more pleasing evening than Chelsea counterpart. Masterful showing from the Uruguayan.
14/20 Filipe Luis - 8
Strong and powerful in defence and not afraid to come forward in possession and spent lot of time in Chelsea half. Provided valuable back up for Turan.
15/20 Tiago - 7
Passing posed problems for Chelsea all evening on return to Bridge. Floated ball in for equaliser and also inspired the move for Turan's third.
Getty Images
16/20 Mario Suarez - 7
Unwitting deflection for Torres opener. Enjoyed physicality of midfield battle and it was his hard work that allowed teammates to prosper further forward.
Getty Images
17/20 Koke - 8
Hit Schwarzer's bar with in-swinging cross and added fizz to visitors attacks. Always a threat from set-pieces and conducted play.
Getty Images
18/20 Arda Turan - 7
Forced Schwarzer into stop at near-post and went tumbling in box under challenge from Azpilicueta. Kept focus to score the clinching third.
Getty Images
19/20 Adrian Lopez - 7
Sent headed effort straight at Schwarzer. Levelled at post just before half-time to put Spaniards in boxseat. Replaced by Garcia with his work done.
Getty Images
20/20 Diego Costa - 8
Appeared more interested in settling score with Terry before making mark. Fouled for penalty before getting up to, eventually, score.
Getty Images
"There won't be much tension, at least not on my part. I'm pleased we've got that far, it's only the second time we've reached the Champions' final in our history. It's Real – battling for their tenth title – who've got more to lose."
Many Spanish 'neutrals' will be backing under-dogs Atlético. "My father-in-law usually roots for Barcelona, but he'll be supporting Atlético in Lisbon in the hope Real don't get that title," taxi driver Antonio López Sanchez, 43, a keen Real Madrid supporter, says.
"Though if it was the other way round and Barcelona were playing Atlético, I'd be supporting Atletico for exactly the same reason. What else are we supposed to do?"
But while passions run deep, fears that trouble, rather than good-natured banter, may flare between supporters during the month-long build-up are thankfully low.
"There is not nearly the same degree of violence in Spanish football as you might get in some other European countries" Madrid-based freelance journalist Mark Elkington tells The Independent.
"Both clubs have their sets of diehards, the Ultrasur [for Real Madrid] and the Frente Atlético and I've seen some nasty incidents. But it's more like between rival gangs, not general."
Fans could be hard pushed to deny, though, that although Atlético and Real play in Spain's top league, La Liga, in terms of image and finances they remain poles apart.
Last year in the midst of Spain's worst ever modern-day recession, for example, Real's budget of €500m saw them spend a widely reported €100m, football's biggest ever transfer fee, on Welsh player Gareth Bale. That's nearly 80 per cent of Atlético's total budget of around €120m. And whilst Real Madrid's finances are solid, Atlético reportedly owes the Spanish government millions in back taxes. The fact that they have reached the Champions' League final at all is astonishing – the club's wage bill, for example, is less than that of second-tier Queen's Park Rangers.
"Real Madrid are often seen as the Establishment team," points out Mr Elkington, "the fact they won the first five European Cups [between 1956 and 1960] set them up as a default version of the national team." Furthermore, back in that era where any international sporting success was immediately hijacked by General Franco and his regime, in 1956 when Real won the short-lived Latin Cup tournament the entire line-up were awarded the insignia of the Spanish Fascist Party.
Those extreme-right associations have long faded, but polls these days still show that left-leaning Spaniards are twice as likely to prefer Barcelona, whilst those voting for the right-wing Partido Popular are three times more likely to support Real Madrid. The PP's former Spanish premier Jose Maria Aznar, for example, is a card-carrying Real Madrid fan.
Atlético on the other hand have all the feel of being the team from the wrong side of the Madrid tracks. Whereas Real's Santiago Bernabeu is in the heart of a central business district, Chamartin, the tattered-looking Vicente Calderon stadium is to be found in the blue-collar Arganzuela district next to a demolished brewery factory.
Traffic rumbles constantly underneath one corner of the Calderon, too, in a tunnel carrying the M-30 motorway.
"It [Atlético] is the working man's team," said captain Gabi Fernandez in a magazine interview.
For the most high-profile cliched image of an Atlético supporter, look no further than Inspector Torrente, the cigar-chomping, overweight police officer anti-hero, starring in a series of four box office cinema smashes by Madrid director Santiago Segura. In Torrente 2: Mission in Marbella, Torrente drives around the glitzy coastal resort – whose former mayor, property tycoon Jesus Gil, just happens to have once owned Atlético – in a red Ferrari plastered in red-and-white Atlético shields, before deciding, in a fit of chest-beating patriotism, to blow up Gibraltar with a guided missile.
Both Torrente and Atlético have the reputation of being ever-optimistic yet doomed losers, and the team even made a tongue-in-cheek television advert in 2006, where a young child asks his father "Dad, why do we support Atleti?"– to which the father is stumped for an answer.
In recent years, Atlético have been breaking with their own traditions for inconsistency, and winning, even against Real. Argentine manager Diego Simeone – best known to English football fans as the recipient of a kick from David Beckham in 1998 World Cup – is credited with the transformation of the club's track record.
Not only could they win the 2014 Champions' League, Atleti are ahead of Barcelona at the top of La Liga. And as Sports Illustrated pointed out recently, "one of Simeone's greatest achievements has been to end his team's curse against Real Madrid: a run of 25 games and 14 years without a win."Reuse content

Union School Board members have a better understanding on how teachers are evaluated under a relatively new evaluation process, the Network for Effective Evaluators (NEE).
The district was one of 22 to pilot the NEE program in 2012 and adopted it the following year, which Superintendent Steve Bryant called a transition year. This is the second full year the program has been in place.
"We've talked about this system before, and the board knew we were using this system, but they never saw the actual mechanics," Bryant said. "This year we've done a good job of fully implementing the entire evaluation system."
Aaron Jones, assistant superintendent, made a presentation on NEE to board members, complete with videos of teachers in classrooms who they could evaluate on their own using the model.
Prior to NEE, the district was using Performance Based Teacher Evaluations (PBTE), which Bryant said was "very subjective."
The district now focuses on three standards when completing evaluations. Standards include cognitively engaging students in subject matter, teaching for critical thinking and use of student data to analyze and modify instruction.
Teachers and principals also can choose other standards to focus on in addition to the three focus standards.
Administrators can look at evaluation averages in the district, by school or compared to other schools in the state for comparison.
After teachers are evaluated, the receive an email and a post-evaluation conference is scheduled.
About NEE
NEE is a comprehensive evaluation system based on new Missouri standards for educators and including a web-based platform for storing and managing data on each educator in the building/district.
Jones showed school board members how the web-based platform works, including following links to help guides and professional development strategies.
Evaluators are trained to make consistent and reliable assessments of educators' professional effectiveness, engagement with students, professional development activities, and achievement of goals.
The focus is on helping educators grow and improve.
Multiple sources of data are used to in the evaluation, including classroom observations, student surveys, unit of instruction, professional development plans and student performance.
Each teacher is observed a minimum of six times per year for an average of 10 minutes each visit. Often, the visits are longer, Jones noted.
He used the instructional videos to show board members how much can be gleaned from a classroom within just a few minutes.
So far, Bryant said teachers are pleased with the growth model and its implementation.

Dr Timothy Derrick, 40, was understood to have been travelling around the island and was last seen five days ago.
Police on the Scottish island were alerted when he failed to check out of Sligachan Bunkhouse, in the village of Sligachan, on Thursday.
Northern Constabulary confirmed a new search would be taking place early this morning after police, Skye Mountain Rescue Team and Stornoway Coastguard helicopter yesterday scoured the Cuillin mountains in a bid to find any clue to the missing man's whereabouts.
A spokesman said: "There will be a search commencing in the morning. We don't know the scale of the search or the area it will cover. It is likely to be on a smaller scale than yesterday."
Dr Derrick, of Southwark Bridge Road, south London, arrived in Skye on August 12 and checked into the bunkhouse last Tuesday. He was understood to have intended to travel to Edinburgh before returning to his home this week.
The missing man, whose family are aware of his disappearance, was wearing blue jeans and a cream jacket with black patches on the shoulders when last seen.

Ayot St Lawrence is a small village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, between Harpenden and Welwyn. There are several other Ayots in the area, including Ayot Green and Ayot St Peter (where in 2011 the census population was included).
George Bernard Shaw lived in the village, at Shaw's Corner, from 1906 until his death in 1950; his ashes are scattered there.[1][2] The house is open to the public as a National Trust property.[3]
Other residents of the village included the Shaws' friend, neighbour and bibliographer Stephen Winsten and his wife, the artist Clare Winsten, and the novelist and biographer Carola Oman, Lady Lenanton.
The village has one pub/inn, The Brocket Arms, [1], which is reputed to be haunted.[4] The pub was established in the 14th century. [2].
The village has two churches:
- Old St Lawrence Church, in the centre of the village, was partially demolished in 1775, because it was obstructing the view from Sir Lionel Lyde's new home.[5]
Field Marshal Frederick Rudolph Lambart, 10th Earl of Cavan, a British Army officer and Chief of the Imperial General Staff, is buried in the churchyard.
- New St Lawrence Church was designed in a neo-classical style by Nicholas Revett[6] and features a Palladian-style frontage with Doric columns.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
An older guy gave me 1,600 and just because i dont want to hang out with him anymore he wants to sure me to get his money back. which would be $200 a week which I cant afford because I am A full time broke college student. he says he has lawyers and a private investigator. is this possible?
As I understand, you are saying that a person you barely knew gave you $1600, and wanted nothing in return. Now that you don't want to hang out with him, he wants his money back.
He can hire attorneys if he wants, but he is likely going to have to act like this as a debt owed to him. If he truly asked nothing in return, this is a gift, and you probably don't owe him anything. If he said I'll give you $1600 since you show up here every Tuesday and will be here all next year, things might be different.
If he pushes hard, see if you can get one of the pro bono organizations to help you. the link here might help.
The above is not intended to be legal advice, but may be used for general information. Please contact an attorney for specific help tailored to your needs. www.figgardenlaw.comAsk a similar question
Yes, you can certainly be sued. It is possible. Whether or not the plaintiff can win a small claims court lawsuit is entirely another question. Your contention will be that the money was a gift with no obligation to return it. His contention will be that the money was a loan. Without a promissory note or anything from you in writing, I think he will have a tough case to prove. Moreover, it is highly unlikely he has lawyers and a private investigator for a $1,600 "debt".

Skip to comments.In Search of Moon Trees
Posted on 08/19/2009 5:11:36 AM PDT by Dallas59
They're trees. "Moon Trees."
NASA scientist Dave Williams has found 40 of them and he's looking for more. "They were just seeds when they left Earth in 1971 onboard Apollo 14," explains Williams. "Now they're fully grown. They look like ordinary trees--but they're special because they've been to the Moon."
How they got there and back is a curious tale.
It begins in 1953 when Stuart Roosa parachuted into an Oregon forest fire. He had just taken a summer job as a US Forest Service "smoke jumper," parachuting into wildfires in order to put them out. It was probably adventure that first attracted Roosa to the job, but he soon grew to love the forests, too. "My father had an affinity for the outdoors," recalls Air Force Lt. Col. Jack Roosa, Stuart's son. "He often reminisced about the tall Ponderosa pine trees from his smoke jumping days."
Thirteen years later, NASA invited Roosa, who had since become an Air Force test pilot, to join the astronaut program. He accepted. Roosa, Ed Mitchell and Al Shepard eventually formed the prime crew for Apollo 14, slated for launch in 1971.
"Each Apollo astronaut was allowed to take a small number of personal items to the Moon," continued Jack. Their PPKs, or Personal Preference Kits, were often filled with trinkets--coins, stamps or mission patches. Al Shepard took golf balls. On Gemini 3, John Young brought a corned beef sandwich. "My father chose trees," says Jack. "It was his way of paying tribute to the US Forest Service."
The Forest Service was delighted.
"It was part science, part publicity stunt," laughs Stan Krugman, who was the US Forest Service's staff director for forest genetics research in 1971. "The scientists wanted to find out what would happen to these seeds if they took a ride to the Moon. Would they sprout? Would the trees look normal?" In those days biologists had done few experiments in space; this would be one of the first. "We also wanted to give them away as part of the Bicentennial celebration in 1976."
Krugman himself selected the varieties: Redwood, Loblolly pine, Sycamore, Douglas Fir and Sweetgum. "I picked redwoods because they were well-known, and the others because they would grow well in many parts of the United States," he explained. "The seeds came from two Forest Service genetics institutes. In most cases we knew their parents (a key requirement for any post-flight genetic studies)."
On January 31, 1971, Apollo 14 blasted off. Only Shepard and Mitchell actually walked on Moon. On Feb. 5th they landed the lunar module Antares in Fra Mauro--a hilly area where Shepard famously launched his golf balls using a geology tool as a makeshift driver. Roosa remained in orbit as pilot of the mission's command module Kitty Hawk. Inside his PPK was a metal cylinder, 6 inches long and 3 inches wide, filled with seeds. Together they circled the Moon 34 times.
Apollo 14 was a success. Scientists were delighted with the mission's geology experiments and they were eager to study the 43 kg of Moon rocks collected by Shepard and Mitchell. Krugman was just as eager to study the seeds.
"We had a bit of a scare," Krugman recalls. During decontamination procedures, the seed canister was exposed to vacuum and it burst. The seeds were scattered and traumatized. "We weren't sure if they were still viable," he says. Working by hand, Krugman carefully separated the seeds by species and sent them to Forest Service labs in Mississippi and California. Despite the accident, nearly all of them germinated. "We had [hundreds of] seedlings that had been to the Moon!" Thirty-one years later, Krugman still sounds excited.
Finally, in 1975, they were ready to leave the lab. "That's when things got out of hand," he says.
Everyone wanted a Moon tree. In 1975 and '76, trees were sent to the White House, to Independence Square in Philadelphia, to Valley Forge. "One tree went to the Emperor of Japan. Senators wanted trees to dedicate buildings. We even did some plantings in New Orleans because the mayor there, Mayor Moon, wanted some," says Krugman. There were so many requests that "we had to produce additional seedlings from rooted cuttings of the original trees."
No one kept systematic records, notes Dave Williams. That's why the whereabouts of the trees today are mostly unknown.
One of the them went to a Girl Scout camp in Cannelton, Indiana, where 3rd grade teacher Joan Goble found it in 1996. (She knew it was a Moon Tree because a sign said so. Most Moon trees were planted with ceremony; there's usually a sign or plaque nearby that identifies them.) "My students love it," she says. "It looks like an ordinary tree, but they feel it's special anyway because of its trip to the Moon." Jack Roosa has since become a pen pal of Goble's class, encouraging the students to explore and learn as his father did.
When Goble contacted Dave Williams to ask for more information about Moon trees, "I was clueless," Williams admits. Like many people who were young in the 1970's, Williams had never heard of such trees, but he soon became an enthusiast. "I found one Moon tree right here at Goddard near my office," he laughs. "I had no idea it was there."
Often that's how they're encountered--by accident. Williams now maintains a web site listing all known Moon trees. If you stumble across one, contact Dave. He'll investigate the find and add it to the collection if it's authentic.
Moon trees are long-lived, adds Krugman. The redwoods could last thousands of years, and the pines have a life expectancy of centuries. Indeed, they've already outlived Stuart Roosa and Al Shepard--two of the humans who took them to the Moon.
Jack, however, is optimistic: "These trees will be here 100 years from now," he says. "By then I believe we'll be planting Mars trees right beside them."

Seeds returned to Earth via Chinese astronaughts - sold to wealthy, trust-funded bidders, planted over looking the vast American slums. These seeds will be noted for their rapid grown and voluminous folliage - ideal for blocking unwanted views of the slave areas, ever present and ever growing slums, old industrial areas, unused cities, and most anything the fully-vested political elite deem unsightly.
I've seen this movie. In a few more years they will grow legs and start killing people.
