The Zenmuse XT Advanced Radiometry camera provides twice the temperature measurement accuracy of the standard Zenmuse XT along with new analysis and recording functions. Simply tap any point in an on-screen image to view the temperature of that point or select an area to measure the average, highest and lowest temperatures as well as their location. The camera can also be calibrated to further increase temperature measurement precision by setting external parameters including background temperature, scene emissivity and more. If photos are captured in the TIFF format, the temperature of each pixel can be recorded for further processing and analysis. A temperature alert threshold can be set, automatically activating when that temperature is detected. This capability could simplify and accelerate search and rescue and inspection activities.
See the unseen. FLIR cameras reveal details invisible to the naked eye by making subtle differences in temperature visible. This new view on the world can reveal when equipment or buildings are damaged, the location of lost people and much more.
Infra-red imagery requires optimization to ensure maximum definition for capturing information. The Zenmuse XT features a suite of image enhancements designed by FLIR including Digital Detail Enhancement™ (DDE); Smart Scene Optimization™ (SSO), which enhances extremes in bi-modal scenes; Active Contrast Enhancement™ (ACE) that adjusts scene contrast relative to its temperature difference; and Information Based HEQ™ (IBHEQ) which compresses complex image data to create the best quality image.
The Zenmuse XT can be controlled completely through the DJI GO app, providing a real-time, low latency view of what the camera sees, and instant access to core camera functions including:
When used with either the Inspire 1 or the Matrice 100, the Zenmuse XT can be put into the air in seconds. It is seamlessly integrated, giving it complete access to key features including the powerful Lightbridge video transmission system (providing up to 3.1 miles (5KM*) of HD range), automated Point of Interest, Course and Home Lock, Follow Me, and the DJI SDK.
When combined with the Inspire 1, the Zenmuse XT works with incredible speed, efficiency and convenience. If used with the Matrice 100, the Zenmuse XT can stay in-flight for up to 35 minutes*, ideal for large scale inspections and especially useful in search and rescue scenarios.
*Maximum range in open areas under optimal conditions free of interference.*Inspire 1: Flight times vary based on flight conditions, with a maximum 22 minute flight time being recorded when hovering with a TB48 battery using the Zenmuse XT gimbal camera.*M100: Flight times vary based on payload and flight conditions, with a maximum 35 minute flight time being recorded when hovering with dual TB48D batteries and no additional payload other than a Zenmuse XT gimbal camera.

By TIM FONTENAULT
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New York Red Bulls went to Gillette Stadium without Jamison Olvae, Roy Miller and Thierry Henry. They left with three points.
Luis Robles registered his third clean sheet of the season, playing hero Sunday in play after nerve-racking play for the Red Bulls, who ended a four-match winless run with a 2-0 win over the New England Revolution.
Robles was challenged after 30 seconds on a long strike by Patrick Mullins, but he easily handled it for the first of his 10 saves on the afternoon.
Most of New England's chances were like the first, long-range efforts with a lot of pace. Robles stopped them all.
"Luis, like he has all year, he made some key saves for us, 100 percent," New York manager Mike Petke said. "Obviously, I'm a little concerned on how we gave up some of the opportunities we did, but it's a great feeling to know you have someone back there who – nine out of 10 times – you feel is going to make those saves."
The Revolution maintained control of possession for most of the half, keeping the ball away from New York for long stretches of time. However, the Red Bulls were able to take advantage of a rare goalkeeping mishap from Bobby Shuttleworth and put the Eastern Conference leaders in a situation they had yet to face at Gillette Stadium this season.
Shuttleworth came off his line in an effort to clear a corner kick, ignoring the multiple Revolution defenders in position to deal with Lloyd Sam's service. The lapse in judgement pinned Shuttleworth between multiple New York players, and it left the net wide open for Eric Alexander, who headed the ball into the empty net, giving New York a 17th-minute lead. New England had not trailed in its first five home matches, and Alexander's goal was only the second the Revolution had conceded at home all season.
Even after scoring the opener, New York found itself pinned back, defending against the fast-paced attack of the Revolution. Despite the absences of Olave and World Cup-bound Miller, the Red Bulls were able to force most of the Revolution's opportunities to come from outside the box.
A key factor in the back for New York was 18-year-old Matt Miazga, who earned his first start in Major League Soccer on Sunday. Petke and Robles sang his praises after the match, crediting him for showing no fear against such a big opponent.
"We said, 'You know what, maybe this is a game for Matt Miazga,' " Petke said. "Perhaps the moment is going to be so grand for him that he's not even going to feel the pressure, you know, as a young guy. And I thought Matt did very well on his debut tonight. I'm very proud of him."
New England's chances in the box were few and far between, but Diego Fagundez nearly made one count in stoppage time of the first half, making a run that brought up memories of Sergio Aguero's run to win the Premier League for Manchester City in 2012. Fagundez was able to beat Robles with a shot across the goal, but his effort slammed off the post and bounced away.
The game became more of a back-and-forth affair in the second half, but again, it was New England getting the better of the scoring chances. Robles continued to answer the call for New York.
New England nearly equalized, albeit through a potential own goal around the 70th-minute mark. A free kick swung into the box and bounced around before deflecting off a New York defender with enough pace to find the net, but Robles made a sprawling save and recovered a ricochet to keep the ball safely out of the net.
Minutes later, Peguy Luyindula secured the three points for the Red Bulls, registering his third goal of the year with a powerful shot that beat Shuttleworth from outside the box, doubling the Red Bulls' lead with 14 minutes to play.
A critical change in the second half was that New York was able to keep the ball for longer periods of play, preventing New England from going forward on the counter attack as they looked to get back in the match.
"What Mike was saying is that, 'Hey, there's no reason why we can't three points,' and he kept reiterating that all week," Robles said. "And we not only came out and put pressure, but we kept the ball. So we've had a bad habit on the road of kind of letting them dictate the play, and today we did a good job of dictating the play. And we were lucky to get that goal to start off, so that also put us in a good position."
New England struggled to create opportunities after that, only getting close to scoring on a cross that again missed everyone in the 89th minute. The Revolution enter the World Cup break on a two-match losing streak after going unbeaten over the previous seven matches.
New York, meanwhile, is feeling confident after taking three points on the road against a team they consider to be one of the best in MLS, and now they have the confidence to go forward into the break and come back ready to go at Toronto FC on June 27.
"We have a great locker room," Robles said, "and the reason I say that is because when you go four games without a win, it's easy to start getting down on yourselves and start pointing fingers, but that's not something that happens here. The guys are very positive, and we know that we believe in each other and our abilities."
Gio Geo
anyone know what type of prospect Miazga is? I see he's been called into the U-20, etc.
I'd love to see some young blood on this team……. get that mean/median under 30 yrs old.
Not sure what type of prospect Miazga is but I do agree that some young blood is needed on this team. I'm not sure if I would pick Miazga over Olave or Armando but its a good feeling knowing that Miazga will only get better. When Olave's contract expires there's no reason why Miazga can't fulfill the starting role.
Wins like this are a must for any team. New England were unlucky not to have scored but you have to give credit to Robbles, he was a monster last night.
I thought Duvall played solid yesterday and like Miazga they are both young and hopefully RBNY see them as the future of the club. They are both young, fit and only getting better. There's no reason to spend big cash on a CB or RB when Duvall and Miazga can get the job done.
Steele again worries me but that's nothing new. He should have easily scored his open opportunity in the 2nd half but he came up short again. He may hustle his arse off but at the end of the day the kid can't ball.
Overall, considering the amount of players RBNY was missing, this win felt good. I gave red bulls no chance going into this match lol. Maybe a draw at best, I'm happy they shut me up. Good job boys
Brain Guy
In addition to those mentioned, RBNY were missing Cahill and McCarty. Great chance for many of the young'uns. Did I even see Lade?
LOL got like 5 minutes of run

We are an early 50's couple with 2 high school / college age kids and live and work in the Rochester MN area. I was born in the Rochester area and met Ann while at college. She was raised in the Lakes area of MN near lake Mille Lacs about 30 miles from our cabin.
Matt Prigge purchased this cabin in 2004
My wife had been looking for the right place for over a year. - No weeds, no mud, not too many steps to climb up or down when we get old etc. When we drove by my wife recognized it from earlier listings she had seen. It was, for us, the perfect setting and had the potential that we were looking for.
One of the few places with split field stone retaining walls and foundations. Also the Boathouse is an added plus since you cannot build them anymore only maintain the ones that already exist. As I have mentioned it is one of the cleanest lakes you will ever experience. No resorts or supper clubs on the lake make it very quiet. Views of the lake are available from 3 of the 5 sleeping rooms.
We had a wonderful 3 days at the cabin and wished we had reserved it for longer! Everything from the view of the lake from inside the cabin, the comfortable king size bed, to the loons, eagles and ducks nearby and use of the pontoon boat and beautiful sunsets, this cabin exceeded our expectations. Owners were wonderful to work with and we hope to return next year!
We stayed at this property and not only was it beautiful and relaxing, but Matt and Ann are very easy to work with. The lake was beautiful and calm, the loons were visiting and relaxing evening walks were ideal. The private setting was nice and the fish were biting! You truly cannot go wrong with this property.
This property was represented true !! The owners were very easy to work with, answered any questions quickly and made sure our stay was what we hoped! We were 6 adults and two grand children and had 5 days of total relaxation! House is well maintained and stocked! Views are beautiful, pontoon rental a must and fires on the patio at night heavenly! I couldn't ask more for a little family getaway! Felt like home the minute we walked in but it still maintained the cabin feel!! ❤❤❤
Our family was here a few weeks back for some ice fishing and relaxing, and the cabin life was exactly what we were looking for! Nestled right next to the lake my husband and 4yr. old walked right onto the ice for their day of fun and my 2yr. old and I played games and made snow angels! This cabin is nothing shy then beautiful, cozy and clean! Having a full kitchen was awesome and even more a dishwasher! Waking up and having my cup of coffee and just staring out the huge picture window of the lake is nothing less than AWESOME! This place is gorgeous in every way! We had a great time– thank you for opening up your cabin for us to make family memories!
The home was exactly as advertised: picture perfect, beautifully maintained, very comfortable, good beds, plenty of room, well-equipped, quiet, and relaxing. I spoke with the owners, Matt and Ann prior to booking their home. I explained that I was traveling from Newport Beach, California to visit family that lived in the local Deerwood, Crosby area. They were very gracious and accommodating and a wealth of information. As the pictures show, the lake views were gorgeous as is their property. Large mature trees, beautifully landscaped with flowers galore. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evenings reminiscing by the fireplace. The only complaint was that we were not able to stay longer. Next time, we will stay for a week! Thank you again. We truly had a wonderful stay.
We had a wonderful time Labor Day weekend! The owners made sure all of our questions were answered and the property was clean, comfortable and suited the needs of our 2 families with young children! There is great yard space to enjoy, play, relax. The dock set up is great for fishing, swimming, etc. We loved the lake! Our ONLY suggestion would be that if you are coming with young kids, sleeping bags would make for less laundry (bedding) on your last day:)
Located in the central lakes area of Minnesota there are many activities to pursue on this lake or within minutes of it. The lake association continues to keep this one of the cleanest lakes in the state. Less congested than the Brainerd Baxter area which is 15 minutes away, the Deerwood-Crosby area is very relaxing and offers some of the best antique shopping, winter or summer trails, fishing in the state. The Mountain Bike trails are some of the best in the country.

A local composition has been the hit of the Australian Chamber Orchestra's acclaimed European tour, writes Roger Covell.
Bologna knows its own, and everybody else's, mind. It invented the European university almost 1000 years ago, and supplied through one of its founding faculties the model of the pedantic lawyer familiar in Italian comedy and comic opera.
The appetite for robust gastronomy, symbolised by the cartwheel cheeses, fatly trussed sausages and opulent hams on display in its food shops, is balanced by the wickedly smart boutiques sheltering under its 38 kilometres of ochre-coloured medieval-style arcades; and these, in turn, are put in perspective by the city's liking for radical politics.
Pride and belief in the city and its province helped make the opening concert of the Australian Chamber Orchestra's European tour a special event in Bologna's musical history. The ACO had the privilege of presenting the first concert of the city's main chamber series in a new recital hall, the Teatro Manzoni, handsomely adapted from an old Art Deco cinema.
The Teatro Manzoni, named after the Italian historical novelist revered by Verdi above all other writers except Shakespeare, is similar in general effect and size to Sydney's City Recital Hall at Angel Place, with walls of blond wood, modern seating, a bright, generally clear acoustic, limited foyer space and seating for about 1200.
Some of its former Art Deco designs linger near the gleaming acoustic baffles of a revamped ceiling. A brass plate dedicates the hall to the Bologna-born Ottorino Respighi.
The full house that welcomed the ACO's 19 touring instrumentalists might have been swollen in its audience numbers by the ACO's growing European reputation and the brilliance of its guest soloist, the French-Swiss flautist Emmanuel Pahud, but also undoubtedly owed something of its size to Bolognese concert-goers' anxiety to sample the newly refashioned hall and to their faith in the quality of artists presented by the city's principal concert entrepreneur, Musica Insieme.
The ACO's habit of having its violins and violas play standing and its appearance in unisex black shirts and pants caused a typically Italian swirl of comment among the audience when director Richard Tognetti led the group's 17 string players and its deft harpsichordist (Neal Peres da Costa) into concert formation on the Manzoni stage at the customary starting time of 9 pm. Stile moderno was the appreciative whisper of a woman seated behind me.
The music in the first half of the program, however, was anything but contemporary in origin. It amounted to a short and lively course in the concerto grosso, a baroque instrumental genre founded in contrasts of string texture, weight and floridity.
As such, it was an appropriate tribute to a city in which composers such as Torelli, Vitali and even Corelli made contributions of fundamental importance to the genre.
Corelli himself, some of whose works seem to contain the tightly compressed kernel of the concerto grosso format, entered the program with one of the pieces from his Opus 6.
The 11th concerto grosso of another Opus 6, this time Handel's, brought into play the music of the caro Sassone (dear Saxon) so much acclaimed during the German-born composer's early years in Italy.
Its first movement was a generally enchanting experience in its alternations between sauntering elegance and rhetorical cadences in which Tognetti filled in the flourishes with convincing impulsiveness.
If the rest of the Handel concerto was not quite at this level of freshness, the amazing thing was that so much of the program, including a well-received Vivaldi concerto (RV117), fulfilled the ACO's reputation as a young orchestra of highly attractive zeal and accomplishment, passionately led by its director.
This achievement indicates how much more we expect of travelling musicians than, say, footballers.
Football teams are used to having time to acclimatise themselves to a new country. The ACO players followed three public concerts and an embassy recital in Tokyo with a long flight to Italy and just a couple of days of recovery before the launch of their European tour. Following their concert in Bologna they boarded a London-bound plane the next morning and repeated the program in the Wigmore Hall that night.
The rest of their schedule goes from Newcastle to Austria - where the tour ends tomorrow - packing six concerts in five locations (with varied programming) into just seven days.
Emmanuel Pahud's scintillating clarity of phrasing in a late baroque flute concerto by French composer Jean-Marie Leclair was a predictable success; a fact which made it all the more pleasing that Pahud's collaboration with the ACO in Carl Vine's recently premiered flute concerto, Pipe Dreams, was by far the most enthusiastically received event of the evening.
Vine's avowed aim in this score is to present the flute as if it is an animate being, following its own impulses and dreaming its own dreams. Composer, soloist and orchestra attained something very close to this kind of characterisation with sudden changes of tempo and rhythm and with streaming runs up and down to salient notes that make their respective destinations seem almost a matter of last-minute whim.
The audience's ready, discriminating and genuine appreciation of this mercurial and coolly beautiful score was a reminder of how much depth of musical tradition Bologna possesses.
Its first university chair of music dates from 1450. Its famous theorist, historian and composer-teacher Padre Giovanni Battista Martini included the young Mozart, J.C. Bach, Gluck, Gretry and Jommelli among his scores of pupils and directed an Accademia Filarmonica to which most distinguished musicians aspired to belong. More recent members of the Bologna-based Accademia include Verdi, Wagner, Busoni, Puccini, Respighi and Ravel.
The 19th musician of the ACO's touring company, percussionist Brian Nixon, appeared in just one piece, the haunted musical ritual of Arvo Part's Fratres. This piece had a decided impact, even if string intonation was short of the orchestra's best standards.
The program's final item, Tognetti's admirable transcription for string orchestra of the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski's second string quartet, suffered a little in its reception from coming at the end of an overlong program and sagged slightly in energy and point before Tognetti rallied his forces in an emphatic final phrase.
I heard many enthusiastic comments as the audience emerged from the Teatro Manzoni. The ACO's concert will certainly enhance the reputation of Australian instrumentalists and composers here. It also identifies a hall well worth pursuing as a touring venue for the best of our chamber groups.

Published: August 7, 2008 at 1:39 PMIt's a very sad thing to hear. I've been to the park and I loved it. It was very clean and entertaining. They have everything from a funny signs to coasters to kiddie rides to some of the best shows I have ever seen.
While usually small crowds and shorts lines are a great thing, I would rather see the park have much larger crowds and longer lines. Part of the lack of visitors is probably due to the advertising. During the time I was there, I mainly saw advertisements through billboards and coupon books (but no coupons in there). However, I did not see any ads on TV (probably because on vacation I don't sit in the room to watch TV) nor did I hear anyone talking about it. Which leads to my assumption that not too many people know that it is there yet.
The ticket prices seemed about average from my experiences. They sure beat the $75 a ticket at Orlando. There were discounts for NC and SC residents, families of 4, and military that I saw, however; I do not know if the NC and SC discount is still available.
Maybe all of us can help spread the word that there is a brand new park. I personally, as I'm sure a lot of you all too, would hate to see such a great park fail.
Published: August 7, 2008 at 2:48 PMWe long ago mocked Hard Rock Park's attendance estimates. And if a bunch of folks on a theme park website could figure out those PR numbers were pie-in-the-sky, no analyst worth employing should have bought into them, either.
Clearly, a new theme park needs to be capitalized such that it can operate in the red for the first year or two on income, not counting depreciation on the capital assets. (In English, you've got to have enough money before you start to make the payments for the first year on the loans you took out to build the thing, plus pay for your first season's supplies and employees.)
Then you use the first year's income to pay for the second year's debt payments. The second year's income, ideally, pays that year's expenses, with whatever extra either paying down the debt or going into the bank to guard against a down year in the third. (Or, best case scenario, toward a little of both.)
If you are not making enough cash in the first year to cover the next year's debt payments, then you need to work like heck to change your marketing, pricing and promotions to improve your odds that income will grow in year two.
Ideally, when forecasting that first year's income, you've got to bet on a slow economy and mediocre word of mouth. Put the pressure on your own efforts to build audience and market share. If you're expecting a booming economy and enthusiastic visitors to sell the park for you, well, fate don't like to be tempted like that. ;-)
I don't know what HRP's situation is. But those are the rules for opening a theme park. If HRP's followed them, it'll do fine.
Published: August 7, 2008 at 3:00 PMThey could not have picked a worse economic year in which to open a new theme park. Only Disney and Universal seem to be making money right now (Cedar Fair just announced $30 million in losses over the first half of the year, and Six Flags has never made money), and most of the Orlando money is coming from foreign travelers taking advantage of the weak dollar.
I hope HRP can make it as it looks like a sweet theme park, but almost no one is making money on theme parks these days!
Published: August 7, 2008 at 3:53 PMIt really turned out to be a horrible year for Hard Rock to open. The economy hasn't been the greatest for many businesses this year, let alone the tourism industry. I'm still convinced that a good theme park can fly high in Myrtle Beach, however there are a few things that Hard Rock should keep in mind.
1) Myrtle Beach is still the place for the family traveling on a budget
2) Money is likely a little tighter for those families traveling due to high gas prices, increase in food, etc...
3) The hotels may not be as full as they usually are this year.
4) Hard Rock isn't cheap.
The economy hasn't been any park's friend this year, and a new park that hasn't found it's place yet is going to have the same problems. Myrtle Beach brings in millions of tourists a year, so the potential is there for some huge numbers. I think that the price point was too high when the park opened, and I've also heard tell that food/gifts are spendy too. While MB has been working hard to bring more affluent tourists to the area, the fact remains that most of the families traveling there are still blue collar, lower to middle class families with a limited budget. Not that any of those monikers are bad, but when tickets are 50 bucks a piece, a family of 5 can make for an expensive day.
I come from such a background, and I can say this. These families come to Myrtle Beach to go to the beach and go out to eat. Sometimes they go out to shop and play putt-putt, but for some reason, going out to eat is some kind of unconscious, ingrained vacation activity. Hard Rock isn't in competition with other parks, it's in competition with hundreds of low cost family activities that are scattered around the town. I know that the park is new and they've spent a lot of money building it, but people are looking for a bargain right now, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem that a bargain can be found at Hard Rock at this time. I know that they have shifted pricing a little bit, but it looks like there are still some things to be worked out. Getting aggressive with hotel room/condo packages, heavily marketing special holiday events, coupons for goods inside the park, attracting company events, and getting that "spending per guest" number up is key. I also think that a well planned concert series with the right bands would go a long way. If you ask me, I think the customer base is not a family with lots of young kids, it's the family with teenagers, adults age 20 to 45, couples, and older folks that are young at heart. Becoming a real nightlife hub may be a good thing...kind of like the Universal Citywalk or Downtown Disney in Orlando.
The Hard Rock Park experience is probably a good one, but it's one that people either don't know about, or are willing to cut from their to do list because of the cost at this time. Attract the right customers, and give the customers a bargain, or at least an implied one, and they will come.
I will say this, expectations turned out to be high, partially because of missteps by the park, and partially because of the economy. The park isn't done though, and it would be a big mistake to quit now.
Published: August 9, 2008 at 4:51 AMWe're headed out on our family vacation in 7 days and we'll be at a beach south of Cape Fear. We are planning on spending a day at HRP. I guess I should be looking forward to a small crowd, but I hate to see the park in trouble and cutting-back in services and hours, already. I think the previous comments are very accurate. The Myrtle Beach crowd is, in fact, of a general lower income than most other beach areas. Perhaps HRP could market the day-trip idea to folks (like us) who vacation within 100 miles (Wilmington Beaches, Charleston Beaches, even down toward HHI). SC is not a rich or highly populated state and (as HRP obviously knows) the park must count almost entirely on vacationers. Beyond gas prices and ticket prices, I would submit that many (including my family) considered waiting a couple of years until they add another high-end coaster. (I think they really only have a couple, at this point.) But, maybe coaster enthusiasts better get on down there and take a ride on Led Zepplin before it hits the auction block! Anyway, there will be five tickets sold in about ten days and I'll check back with a "review".
Published: August 9, 2008 at 2:13 PMPeter,
I hope you enjoy your trip. Just keep in mind (so you won't go into the park expecting too much) that it's small. Also, it's not really a 'ride' park. They have rides, but it's not all rides like cedar point or kings dominion. If you get the time, make sure to check out all the shows. They are some of the best among theme parks from my experience.


text: Dear Maui users, At our clusters, we have nodes with different amounts of memory. We configured torque such that it sets a default amount of pmem per processor. Alternatively, the submitter of a job may specify this number on his own. Hence, each job should be submitted with a specified memory requirement. In Maui's configuration file, we set NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY MINRESOURCE However, we still watch that jobs which only require little memory are started on nodes with a large amount of RAM while nodes with less (but sufficient) RAM remain free. Is this parameter ignored in certain settings? Thanks in advance for any help, Bram. -- Dipl. Math.

Advice needed on big prints
Faced with the possibility of making a large display print from one of my DP1M shots, I'm looking for advice and information from any of you here who have done this.
I've done this kind of thing in the darkroom in years past, but never from a digital file.
It will be in B&W because that's how it works best and that's how I saw it. I've done sufficient preliminary test processing in SPP followed by LR5, to convince me that the file (I keep wanting to write "neg.") is up to the enlargement.
I'm looking at a minimum print width (horizontal shot) around 125cm./four feet. Needless to say, I don't have a printer this size.
Your suggestions/advice/experience would be much appreciated.
An expensive but very satisfying way to get prints of this size is let it be done by fineart printservers. Search for on internet I think you will find a number.
I ordered several prints which were printed on very large and horribly expensive printers using 6 or more inks. Colors, sharpness and details areamazing and much better than laser projections on photopaper (although they are good and can have huge dimensions). One can choose from a large number of paper of all kind to print on. Monochromes will be printed with a number of special inks, not color nor black only.
I ordered prints from sd1, my biggest was so far 90 cm x 60 cm. But I think 120 would be fine also.
How big of a printer do you have? If you don't have the money to have a professional service print it for you as one large print, you can always print yourself it as a series of vertical segments and either frame them separately or glue them together on a large board.
It partly depends on what the end use is - for something that big are you going to be doing some close examination (closer than a foot))? Or are people going to be looking at it from more of a distance?
Rick Decker and I did a series of large prints (30x40 inches) from DP-Mx camera files. I went through a process that involved outputting with sharpening lowered in SPP, upsampling in Photoshop to the output DPI of the printer at the size I wanted, and doing a light final pass of sharpening.
Rick however just uploaded high-quality JPG files to the printer. Looking at the finest details, I would honestly say the differences were pretty minute.
The only other possibly for real improvement at a print that size, might be using a program called "perfect resize" from OnOne software. Supposedly that does a really impressive job of upsampling that might yield more tangible benefits for a very large print.
One thing you can do to judge for yourself is to take a crop of your image that would be 8x10 in the final print, and try a few different techniques to print 8x10 photos to see what you like best. Focus on highly detailed areas. It's best if the print is on the final printer you'd be using but they probably wouldn't do an 8x10 on the same printer that they did a very large print on...
My personal preference for kind of printer is Epson, but really any of the modern printers would probably do a very nice job. Epson does have a whole set of dedicated B&W inks that may be nice for your image.
Hi David, I used "Perfect Resize" to 'upres' a DP3M file that was then printed at 75cm x 100cm. Although not as big as you would like to do this stands very, very close inspection <20cm. The 'upres' 2,5 x did not create (obviously) or lose detail but simply was done to ensure that on closer inspection the individual pixels =jagged pixel edges on 45° lines were not 'visible' on enlargement. Why the uneven number? Personal choice: i felt this would ensure that the original pixels would be interpolated and not for example 1 pixel becoming exactly 4 pixels = simple 2x, which would not have had the desired effect. Care must be taken that the picture especially as a jpeg is not 'overly sharpenned' before the upscaling as any 'white edge halos' may become exaggerated - Perfect resize can be used for a short while as a demo. I am not sure if they can produce a final image which is large enough for you but www.fujifilm-fotoservicepro.de is very good and full res. 16 bit color managed tifs can be uploaded to them. Prices are good and they offer some print options - direkt on Alu, direct on Acryl, on canvas, or as diptychon on or triptychon which may be something you want to explore . . .
Good luck, Mark
There was another thread recently about printing. Look for Laurence Matson's response. Laurence is the expert on large printing. If it is one of the newer cameras (SD1/M, DPM series), your biggest issue may be selecting a printer. I am using PhtoZoom for some prints at the moment. I purchased it based upon comparisons and recommendations from several people.I have not tried PerfectResize. I am getting great results from Costco at 20x30. Kendall Gelner and I have done several 30x48 (due to paper sizes we had crop from 32 to 30), and they looked very good even close-up. We used Elco Color in New Jersey and were very happy with them. Most consumer print companies take an RGB color space. Resolution will vary depending upon machine.
Many thanks folks for all this valuable advice. Clearly a bit of a minefield over which I need to tread carefully. When I first got the original DP1, five years ago now, I experimented with resampling, using just the current version of PSE. Printing a small section from what would have been the size of print I'm contemplating now, the result amazed me. So I'm fairly confident that I can get a good result from the DP1M.
Thanks again,
find a good pro lab. I would ask local pro photographers for a lab recommendation.

Yes, I've done this. What I'm reluctant to do is to simply hand over the whole job to someone else. I want to retain as much control as possible over the final print - as much, in fact, as I had in the darkroom. So I need to gain as much knowledge as possible about the whole process, which was the reason, of course, for my initial inquiry. And I've gained a great deal of useful information.
I'll get there, eventually.
yours are exactly my reasons why I order prints from hand selected fine art print service. that is preparing the files one wants them to look and getting exactly that result without compromises.
I wish you success.

I couldn't agree more. Laurence is The Expert on Fine Art Printing with Sigma gear. I have one of his prints and it really is a wonder to behold.
Capture all the light and colour!
It's been many years since I have posted here at dpreview (almost a decade). My new interest in the new DP Merrill cameras brought me back, as there is more discussion here than any of the other sites about these cameras.
Anyhow, thought I would chime in and say that I downloaded some of the sample raw images from Sigma's site to see if I could print them large...
bottom line is yes. I was actually surprised how well the detail help up. I made prints in the 24x36-ish (inches) size due to that's the only size rolls I had on me right now.
My method was SPP - the Lightroom - then I used PS to upres to the final resolution and print.
Here are some pics. If you see any grain it's due to my camera being at ISO 1600 for these snaps:
I wish I could tell you exactly what to do, but here are some links that might help:
Some day I hope to get that monster Epson printer and make my own 60x90 prints. Then I'll have a problem . . . where to hang them. I don't have a wall with that much free space. I can probably give away some giant prints like that though. First I'm going to shoot a bit more and see if I can create a photo worthy of printing so huge.
Good luck with your project David.

Hmm ... there's a bit more to chew on. Thanks. I'll take a look. That big printer sounds very tempting, but I have a suspicion that it might be a bit expensive to buy, and to run.

Expensive to buy, cheap to run. The ink for my Epson 4800 cost about 1/5 the ink for my Epson 1400.
I am truly amazed how much detail there seems to be in a photo that I shot with my Sigma SD14 recently. I "resized" it using the Scale Image... tool in GIMP to make it 180ppi at 40x60 inches. That makes it 10,800x7,200 pixels. Take a look: http://sbkart.com/printsamples/SDIM2784-edit-40x60.jpg
I don't like the "noise" that upscaling it created. One thing I really like about my SD14 is the complete lack of noise in my images shot at ISO100. There is more noise in the SD1 images, which is something I just DON'T like about the SD1. Here's the JPEG photo I got from processing the raw file: http://sbkart.com/printsamples/SDIM2784.jpg
Can YOU see any noise in that sky? I can't. It's there in the resized photo though. I'd love it if anyone could help me figure out how to resize in a way that lets me avoid creating that noise.
Here are two 1:1 crops from the two photos that show what I'm talking about:
First the crop from the original:
Now the crop from the edited and resized (upscaled) jpg photo:
As you can imagine, the 400x600 pixel crops represent quite a different area of the overall image, since one of the crops is from an image that is many times more pixels across, even though I cropped to the exact same number of pixels. Still, I would think that if the blue sky looks smooth and silky, then it should look similar in a resized image, but it doesn't, for some reason.
I think I'll get the giant image printed at 40x60 now, just to see how it comes out. I'll use the least expensive method I've found: Color One in Seattle - just $175 for a single 40x60 print - http://www.coloroneinc.com/pricing.html (Knowing that I can get four giant 40x60 prints for $120 each is comforting - maybe I will NEVER get one of those gigantic printers.)
If I'm happy with that print, I just might decide to NOT get an SD1 afterall. I can concentrate on buying lenses and get another SD14. Then maybe in a year or two I'll find an SD1 for sale used for about $500.
I just realized that it could be that I'm exporting to a pretty compressed 8 bit image file that I am getting that noise (artifacts?). I'm going to try resizing a 16 bit TIFF that I created in ProPhoto RGB color space, and see if that does the trick. I already tried to export from SPP to a double size image with less compression, and it looks like it helped, even though I could only use an 8 bit TIFF with GIMP. I wish GIMP would hurry up and get 16 bit support!
I just tried PhotozoomPro5. Wow! Take a look at the difference!
The original resize from 8 bit TIFF using GIMP and saved as .jpg after rotating and cropping (and a little touch-up) is here (lots of jaggies):
Frankly I can't believe how good these images look, considering I shot them with an old Sigma SD14, which I bought with a lens for $375 more than two years ago. I shot this photo with a 28-80mm lens that I bought for $35! I'll be printing at 20x30 to see how it looks, and if it looks fine I'll get it printed at 40x60. (Of course, I'll be buying PhotozoomPro5 first, so my image doesn't have those watermarks!)
When it is about resizing 1200*1000 resolution image at 150 dpi.. the advice sounds good.. but can Perfect resize help to resize facebook image??so that we can print them on canvas..
I tried using Photoshop and enlarged but not every good response.. Can these software and some effects help make a canvas print look good??
In my experience, no software can 'upsize' a digital image to a significantly larger size satisfactorily. There seems to be no technique that yields satisfactory results, either.

That started a trend of condemning those in the West deemed anti-Islamic that persists to this day. Again and again, when Westerners are perceived as denigrating Muhammad, the Koran, or Islam, Islamists demonstrate, riot or kill.
Khomeini's edict also had the unexpected side effect of empowering individuals – Western and Islamist alike – to drive their countries' policies.
Fleming Rose, a newspaper editor, created the greatest crisis for Denmark since World War II by publishing 12 cartoons depicting Muhammad. Florida pastor Terry Jones sowed panic among American commanders in Afghanistan by threatening to burn a Koran. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and friends prompted a crisis in U.S.-Egyptian relations with his amateurish "Innocence of Muslims" video. And the satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo caused the French government to temporarily shut down diplomatic missions in 20 countries. Plans by the German satirical magazine Titanicto publish attacks on Muhammad likewise led German missions to be closed.
On the Islamist side, an individual or group took one of these perceived offenses and turned it into a reason to riot. Khomeini did this with "The Satanic Verses." Ahmad Abu Laban did likewise with the Danish cartoons. Afghan President Hamid Karzai goaded his people to riot over burned Korans by American soldiers, and Egyptian preacher Khaled Abdullah turned "Innocence of Muslims" into an international event.
Any Westerner can now buy a Koran for a dollar and burn it, while any Muslim with a platform can transform that act into a fighting offense. As passions rise on both sides of the divide, Western provocateurs and Islamist hotheads have found each other, as confrontations occur with increasing frequency.
Which prompts this question: What would happen if publishers and managers of major media outlets reached a consensus -- "Enough of this intimidation, we will publish the most famous Danish Muhammad cartoon every day, until the Islamists tire out and no longer riot"? What would happen if Korans were recurrently burned?
Would repetition inspire institutionalization, generate ever-more outraged responses, and offer a vehicle for Islamists to ride to greater power? Or would it lead to routinization, to a wearing out of Islamists, and a realization that violence is counter-productive to their cause?
I predict the latter. A Muhammad cartoon published each day, or Koranic desecrations on a quasi-regular basis, would make it harder for Islamists to mobilize Muslim mobs. Westerners could then once again treat Islam as they do other religions – freely, to criticize without fear.

Happy 27th Birthday, Avril Lavigne! Hot Pics of the Rocker (PHOTOS)
Avril Lavigne is officially 27 years old.She's been rocking crowds and winning the affection of Sk8er Bois for nearly 10 years now — can you believe "Complicated" was released in 2002?! — and on this fine day,
Avril, who was born on September 27, 1984, has been belting out hits left and right over the last nine years, everything from her debut single "Complicated" all the way to her recent infectious I'm-young-and-ready-to-have-fun anthem "What the Hell?" Avril, who has been dating Brody Jenner recently, will be spending her birthday at home in her new home of Los Angeles, saying on Twitter:
Home for a couple of days. Then off to Canada the whole month of October on my tour. First show is in Victoria on Saturday who is coming??!!
Ten years ago, "home" was Canada, as the pop-punk crooner was born in Ontario.

South Sydney coach Michael Maguire has confirmed hooker Issac Luke will have shoulder surgery and miss four to 10 weeks of play.
Luke hurt his left shoulder late in the Rabbitohs' upset 25-16 loss to Wests Tigers on Friday night and left the field in discomfort with his arm supported.
The Kiwi representative attended Souths' recovery session on Saturday with his arm in a sling.
Maguire said scans had been inconclusive.
''This is one we really have to talk to surgeons about,'' Maguire told Triple M on Sunday.
''It could be a four-weeker, it could be a 10-weeker.
''We just really have to wait and see on Monday.''
NSW Cup hooker Apisai Koroisau, who represented Fiji at last year's World Cup but is yet to play NRL, is a likely replacement for Luke.
In good news for Souths fans, Maguire said superstar Greg Inglis, who was knocked out in the fifth minute on Friday night and didn't return, would be fit for Souths' round four match with Canberra next Sunday.
''He will be fine,'' Maguire said. ''There probably was an opportunity to play him at the back end but our doc, obviously with things that are going on at the moment, thought it was best to keep him on the sidelines.''
The Rabbitohs led 6-0 when Inglis departed and again showed the struggles they have without him, but Maguire said they were not a one-man band.
''You take the best out of any team and it can have a reaction but you have to be able to handle that,'' he said.
''You have to find ways [to win] and we have the quality of players to be able to do that.
''As much as he was a loss, we should have grouped together and put on a better performance.''
Prop Aaron Woods said the Tigers successfully targeted Sam Burgess's indiscipline in their impressive win and Maguire admitted it was something he had to look at.
''As much as they are talking on the Burgesses, they are taking on our whole forward pack,'' he said.
''We are not the first forward pack to face a few challenges."

Position: Right-handed Pitcher
Height: 6-4
Weight: 235
Born: 1/31/1994
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Thompson has been a standout two-way player for Rockwall-Heath High School, helping propel his squad to the state tournament this spring.
In one of his most recent games, Thompson fanned 12 hitters to keep his team's state title hopes alive. On top of his stellar pitching performance, Thompson launched a two-run home run to put the game out of reach and help his own cause in the win.
That outing was typical of Thompson's senior campaign and cemented his status as a top two or three round choice in this year's draft.
Scouting Report
Thompson is a very big, physical kid that already has a pro body and could still get more physical with a pro strength training and conditioning program. He is built for durability and holding his power stuff deep into games.
As a senior, Thompson consistently ran his fastball up to 94 mph and routinely sat at 88-91 mph. As mentioned, he showed an ability to hold that velocity deep into starts, reaching back for 93 and 94 late in games.
Thompson lacks experience on the mound, having played first base for his high school team, and it shows with his strike-throwing ability. While his delivery is clean and repeatable, he still hasn't mastered finding the strike zone. He has control projection and scouts I spoke with this spring are bullish on his ability to develop at least average command down the line.
Beyond the fastball, Thompson will show a slider that occasionally flashes as an above-average to plus pitch. At its best, the pitch has tight spin and good two-plane movement that can miss bats.
Though he has infrequently toyed with a change-up, Thompson will need considerable work in developing a third offering.
With his durable frame and potential for two plus pitches, Thompson projects comfortably in the middle of a big league rotation. He has the potential to eat innings by the truck load and could be a valuable big leaguer.
Not available
Health Record
Thompson has a relatively fresh arm for a Texas high school pitcher, having split his time between the mound and first base. He will need to have his workload monitored the first two years, but he has a clean bill of health now and doesn't have any glaring injury concerns.
The Future
Thompson is committed to TCU but should be signable as the club's second round pick. He likely won't sign until close to the July deadline and will probably see only a few innings in the Gulf Coast League this year before the Tigers take the reins off a bit and send him to West Michigan in 2013. He is at least 3-4 years away from even approaching the big leagues.

SYDNEY — Whylie Mulvihill will light a candle for his mother during tonight's Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life at the Victoria Park armouries.
The former firefighter will also remember co-workers who also lost their battles with cancer, as well as a friend he used to take the survivor lap with at each relay.
"There was three of us, myself Donnie MacRae and Angus MacDonald," Mulvihill said.
"The last number of years we'd always have our picture taken, but last year there was no Angus. Donnie used to call us the three amigos. Now there's just the two. Angus was a great guy."
Mulvihill, 68, who has overcome cancer of his bowel and kidney, said the relay evoke a "mix of emotions."
"People are happy that they are there, but there are people who are there because loved ones are gone."
Mulvihill was diagnosed in 2009, just two weeks after a co-worker died from cancer. Mulvihill never left that friend's side and only dealt with his own symptoms after his friend's death on Christmas Day.
"He was a very good friend and I kind of said to him I would stay with him until the end," he said.
"It was very scary because I was very sick and didn't know what was wrong at the time."
When his symptoms surfaced, Mulvihill couldn't keep food down. A scan of his body found a tumour on his bowel and an unrelated tumour on his kidney.
Bowel surgery was difficult and chemotherapy has left him with tingling and swelling feet, and sometimes no sense of touch in one of his hands.
Still, he's grateful to the Cape Breton Cancer Centre and its staff for his treatment.
Supportive family and friends also helped, as did photography.
"Every day I got up, took my camera and went for a drive. It kept me occupied. I kind of had a little bit of fun taking pictures before."
That hobby has grown through the years, so much so that he's rarely seen without his camera. Bird pictures, especially those of eagles, are his favourite thing to snap.
"When I got back on the mend I bought another camera and started having fun with the pictures. I got a little more interested in it and interested in events going on and things in the neighbourhood."
He shares many of those photos with his friends and sometimes the Cape Breton Post.
Many survivor stories will be shared throughout the annual relay for life, according to organizers.
"There are so many survivors or they are battling the disease," said Christina Hurley, the leadership chair for the Sydney event.
"Even those who have lost loved ones, such as myself, who are just empowered because you don't want to see anyone else lose loved ones to the disease. That's why you are there."
Each year she said some 1,000 people with strong spirtis attend the emotional opening ceremonies.
"My first year of the event my father was battling the disease and unfortunately he lost the battle," she said.
"For the second year, I thought it would be quite sad, but I think as a participant or a committee member, anyone who is involved with the relay, it is almost empowering to go to this event."
More than 60 teams are expected sign up for the Sydney event. Last year's relay raised about $150,000.
The Arichat Relay for Life will be on Saturday. There was also a Relay for Life in Cheticamp on May 30.

Viscous Coupling.
This is a viscous coupling as found attached to the centre diff' in the transfer case of a Range Rover. It has been cut away to reveal the internal plates. These are alternately keyed to the casing or the centre shaft. Normally a viscous fluid fills the casing and this resists strongly large differences in rotational speed between the plates, ie. it resists the front and rear transfer-case output shafts rotating at very different rates. In this role it limits wheel spin if a front (or a rear) wheel suddenly looses traction. The action is smooth and permits normal differential action when cornering.
The viscous coupling does not help if both
a front and a rear wheel loose
traction as the Range Rover does not have
axle diff' locks (as standard).

Mrs. Gail Lazar was a student at Furman during the time of the merger. Though she graduated just before the official merger in 1961, she lived and took classes at both Greenville Womens College (The Zoo as she called it) and at Furman. Her senior year and maybe her junior year (she could not remember) she lived in the dorms at Furman. She said that at least one of the dorms on the mens side of campus was opened to women who began taking all their classes on the new campus (Furman). She lived in Manly, but Geer (the dorm adjacent to Manly) was reserved for men. The large room connecting the dorms was a commons area.
Though there was a good comradery at the old campus (GWC), Mrs. Lazar told me that she was very happy to move from downtown at GWC to Furman. She was in the band, so before she moved, she had to take shuttles back and forth between the separate campuses. It was easier to be on the new campus because she did not have to commute and because all her friends were at Furman. There were more activities when women moved, and organizations which had been separate came together as one.
Though Mrs. Lazar commented that there were disadvantages of being so far away from downtown, it was clear that she would not have wanted anything less than to move to the new campus. She did not want to make a generalized statement, but she said many other women were also content with the move. When I asked her if it was difficult to adjust to moving away from the all-womens college, she said not at all. Because Mrs. Lazar was in the band, she was used to being around men, and she was most excited to finally live on the new campus of Furman University.

Here's yet another way Sarah Palin helps the far-left: on multiculturalism. On April 24, 2014 Palin and Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee attended a "Liberty Rally" in Oklahoma to support T.W. Shannon [1]. Shannon is competing against a former Teaparty darling (Rep. James Lankford) for the Senate seat of the retiring Tom Coburn.
Shannon is part black and part Chickasaw, and that caused Sarah Palin to say this about Shannon:
Madison Rising is a rock band that specializes in patriotic songs because all the other bands are traitors, Commies, or traitor Commies. And, they were selected to provide the official theme song for Sarah Palin's new show Amazing America.
That show premieres April 3 at 8pm on the Sportsman Channel, but you can watch and listen in amazement to the theme song today:
Sarah Palin has yet another link to the Koch brothers. She'll be speaking at this year's Right Online conference (June 15-16, 2012).
Right Online is put on by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, and that group is closely linked to the Kochs.
Bruce Crumley of Time Magazine offers the often hilarious "Marine Le Pen And Sarah Palin: Who Is More Extreme?" (link). While Crumley does at least realize some of Palin's policies, others he isn't that clear on:
Sarah Palin and Fox News anchor Eric Bolling offer "Paying at the Pump", video is below. It's like being transported back to the 1800s and watching traveling snakeoil salespeople at work, complete with what appear to be shills in the audience and "experts" from groups that receive funding from oil companies.
Sarah Palin will be guest-hosting the NBC Today Show on Tuesday, April 3, 2012. She'll be going up against the ever-perky Katie Couric, who'll be guest-hosting ABC's "Good Morning America" all the same week.
And, no, none of that is an April Fool's joke. Palin tells Breitbart News: "I see this as a good opportunity to bring an independent, common-sense conservative perspective to NBC. We're 'going rogue' and infiltrating some turf for a day"
Palin was also asked about her ABC competition, and responded: "Game on."
Perky vs. MILFy, who'll come out on top?
Dear Congressional Record,
I never thought I'd be writing to you, but an incident recently occurred that I thought I'd share.
I used to be a U.S. Senator. I can't reveal the details, but my name is Arlen Specter and I'm from Pennsylvania. In my new memoir Life Among the Cannibals: A Political Career, a Tea Party Uprising, and the End of Governing As We Know It, I say the following (page 156, hat tip HuffPost):
From this:
Fed up with mounting legal bills and rattled by intense scrutiny of her family and work, Sarah Palin was ready to step down as Alaska's governor months before she left office in July 2009.
Fed up with mounting legal bills and rattled by intense scrutiny of her family and work, Sarah Palin was ready to step down as Alaska's governor months before she left office in July 2009.
For your education/amusement/bemusement, here are some videos of Sarah Palin's speech at CPAC 2012 (the "Conservative Political Action Conference"). These videos will be updated as newer versions become available.
Note that Sara Palin is interrupted at one point by protesters who are then drowned out by chants of "USA, USA, USA".
On the video below, Sarah Palin says that Occupy Wall Street wants their own bailout, just like Wall Street. While I haven't heard any of them say that they want, for instance, a cash payment from the government, I guess if you squint just the right way what she said might be partially true.
Their "bailout" might consist of things like forgiving student loan debt. It might also consist of ncreasing government spending on the quaternary and quinary (or further) sectors of the economy that #OccupyWallStreet are primarily involved in.

Last month we used a hypothetical example to illustrate the onset and effects of water hammer. This month we will investigate its major causes and gain an even better perspective on the variables that contribute to its intensity.
Valve Closure and Opening
One of the primary causes of water hammer is the abrupt closure of a valve. Figure 1 shows a main pipeline with a branch circuit that is fed by a "Tee." At the end of the branch is a valve. The black arrows show the flow direction in the primary and branch lines, and the blue arrow is the length of the branch line. As in last month's example, the valve acts as the primary barrier, but this time the secondary barrier is the "Tee."
If water is flowing in the branch line and the valve is closed quickly, a shock wave will develop. Its inception follows the same sequence of events in our hypothetical example. One small difference is that some of the intensity of the waves will be lost in the "Tee" as it is open to the main pipeline on either side. Still, a significant portion will be reflected back toward the valve.
A major difference in this example is that we have some control over the valve closure time (in our hypothetical example the valves closed at nearly the speed of light). As you will see, closure time has a significant effect on the inception and intensity of water hammer. Two other variables, flow velocity and pipeline length, are also major factors. The equation P = 0.07 (VL / t) shows the relationship of these three variables and their effect. P is the additional pressure generated by the shock wave, V is the flow velocity in ft/sec, L is the pipe length between the barriers in feet and t is the valve closing time in seconds. 0.07 is a derived constant.
The additional pressure created by the shock wave is directly proportional to flow velocity and pipeline length and inversely proportional to closure time. In other words, higher values of V and/or L will increase pressure while higher values of t will result in a decreased pressure. Table 1 shows the results from this equation when using differing velocities, pipe lengths and closure times. The V values are 5- and 10-ft/sec, L values are 100- and 1000-ft, and t values are 1 and 2 seconds. Two of the variables are constant in each example.
Both columns of the table illustrate the proportional influence of velocity and length—pressure increases as they increase. The lower values in the right hand column illustrate the inverse relationship of time; these pressures are half those in the left hand column because the closure time has doubled. The value of L is often fixed and depends upon the application, but we can exercise substantial control over the other two variables. By doing so, we can eliminate or greatly reduce water hammer's effect.
I mentioned earlier that pipe diameter and the elasticity of its material also influence the pressure generated. Larger diameters and more elastic materials absorb some of the intensity of the shock waves and therefore reduce the pressure generated. Several pipe manufacturers publish curves or tables that show the potential water hammer pressure increase for various pipe diameters and materials.
Suppose that the branch line valve is closed. If it is opened quickly the effect is similar to that of quick closing. When the valve is opened quickly, the branch line sees an immediate drop in pressure, and incoming water from the main line accelerates the previously static column. As friction and other factors restrict its flow, the forward portion of the column can act as the initial barrier and give rise to water hammer. Usually its effect is much smaller than that of valve closure and is often referred to as a "surge." Still, under certain conditions, this surge can be damaging.
Last month, I mentioned that water hammer's effects can be more significant in low pressure systems. The additional pressure generated by a shock wave is proportional to the length of the pipe and velocity of the water flowing in it and is completely independent of its operating pressure. Therefore, the shock wave created in a 1,000-ft pipe flowing at 5-fps will be the same whether the operating pressure is 50-psi or 200-psi. The difference is the ratio of shock pressure to design pressure can be significantly higher in the low pressure system, therefore the potential for damage will also be greater.
Pump Starts and Stops
In many large pumping systems, it is normal procedure to start a pump against a closed discharge valve. Once the pump is running at full speed, the valve is opened slowly. Flow is initiated and then increases to its maximum as the valve continues to open. This procedure is reversed when a pump is stopped. Starting and stopping against a valve that is opened or closed slowly will inhibit the initiation of water hammer.
Depending upon the installation, the discharge valve may be operated manually or by some automatic mechanism. One of the shortcomings of manually operated valves occurs during a power outage. When a pump motor loses power, the reduction in pump speed and flow from its discharge occur rapidly. The resulting change of kinetic energy to that of pressure can produce water hammer waves in the discharge line. As the water column reverses direction, the impeller will also begin to accelerate backward. When it reaches its maximum reverse speed, backward flow is reduced and an additional pressure surge is created.

Protocol matters: Which methylome are you actually studying?
The field of epigenetics is now capitalizing on the vast number of emerging technologies, largely based on second-generation sequencing, that interrogate DNA methylation status and histone modifications genome-wide. However, getting an exhaustive and unbiased view of a methylome at a reasonable cost is proving to be a significant challenge. In this Perspective, we take a closer look at the impact of the DNA sequence and bias effects introduced to the genome datasets from genome-wide DNA methylation technologies and where possible, explore the bioinformatics tools that deconvolute them. There remains much to be learned about the performance of genome-wide technologies, the data we mine from these assays and how it reflects the actual biology. While there are several methods to interrogate the DNA methylation status genome-wide, our opinion is that no single technique suitably covers the minimum criteria of high coverage and high resolution at a reasonable cost. In fact, which fraction of the methylome that is studied depends entirely on the inherent biases of the protocol employed. There is promise for this to change, as the third generation of sequencing technologies is expected to again ?revolutionize? the way that we study genomes and epigenomes.

A TWELVE-year-old boy who suffered serious head injuries in a motorcycle accident in East Yorkshire was in a stable condition in hospital yesterday.
The boy had no helmet on when the blue Yamaha motorcycle he was riding collided with a silver coloured Nissan Almera at lunchtime on Saturday in Woldgate, Bridlington.
He suffered multiple fractures to his body as well as head injuries and was flown by air ambulance to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough.
A three-year-old child, who was riding as a pillion passenger, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary for treatment. The Nissan driver, a 31-year-old Bridlington man, sustained minor whiplash injuries.

Well, it is at times a cross-word puzzle when you look at people's name tags or business cards. The name is easy to figure out but when it comes to the academic or non-academic title that follows that name I'm at times flabbergasted. I'm pretty sure that it is very interesting to have as many "symbols" behind your name as possible and I'm even more sure that each is well deserved and worked for.
But seriously, AA, AS, AAS, AB, BA, BFA, BSc, Bphil, BSBA, BM, EE, CE, Ch. E, Env. E, CPL, DDM, DDS, DDP, ND, DC, OD, Phd, EdD, MPP, MFA, MPS, MPSA, Dsocsci, FNP and the list goes on and on.................How can you not love a system like that?
Just keep it simple and use the Latin terminology as there are drs. ( doctorandus), dr. ( doctor) and professor. Those will be placed in front of your name. I can live with separate titles for engineering like ing. or ir., also in front of your name. And I'm well aware of the fact that when I have an appointment with my physician he didn't study geology or history.....and even if he did that besides studying medicine the title wouldn't change.
It's time to make this system transparent because we're capable enough to determine who is who when it comes to profession.
And if you want an international career you have to make sure your " degree" is acknowledged abroad. And that's not always the case!!
